Season Finale Part 1: "98.12.28 男達の別れ (98.12.28 Otokotachi no Wakare)" (1999)

We made it, finally, to The One.

After a most tumultuous year, we gift to you this holiday season, our solemn yet strangely secular review of the sacred “98.12.28 男達の別れ”, blessed be the name. And, like I said in the last description (does anyone read these?), I know this is the only episode you care about. Like, let’s be honest here! I’m sure you thought our other episodes were nice (and you’d totally be right), but *this* is why you’re here. Worry not, I love you all the same, but don’t go around thinking you’re slick! I’ll be transparent about us too, it’s only fair--this is the only episode we care about! There’s nothing wrong with that, of course. We just have to be real with ourselves. Honesty *is* the best policy, after all.

So here you go, you eager bastards! This is for you, for me, for everybody--this is truly what the world needs right now. Of course we bring on Jake, the honorary Fish, to discuss the famed event in all of its passion and glory, and to bid a person or two farewell… Our love is endless, our gratitude plentiful, stay safe and care for one another. We’ll be back. Thank you.
