In which Mary and Thomas talk about their week, look at anime rankings on MAL, discuss live action adaptations, upcoming shows and documentaries, and get distracted along the way. So they babble, basically. Article: https://fast.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2018-02-17/kimi-ni-todoke-tops-poll-of-anime-to-watch-with-your-lover/.127837
