## FX Fighter Kurumi-chan ‒ Episode 5 (Anime News Network)
https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/fx-fighter-kurumi-chan/episode-5/.243348
DOZER BITWELL: An anime review asks whether a character who quit gambling is really trying. The forex charts are still open.
DOZER BITWELL: Still up? Good. Me too, more or less. An anime review tonight, about a character trying to quit gambling. Greta, no. Luna. Luna, you ask.
DR. VERA VECTOR: Anime News Network reviewed episode five of FX Fighter Kurumi-chan. The reviewer says the characters are tools for demonstrating ideas.
DR. VERA VECTOR: The idea here is that addiction is dangerous. The review says gambling addiction is a true addiction, but with compulsory elements of its own.
DOZER BITWELL: Compulsory elements. Like the thermos. Sorry. Go on, Vera.
DR. VERA VECTOR: One element is watching others win. Per the review, Kurumi sees Mebuki hit hot streaks and thinks it should have been her. It could still be her.
DOZER BITWELL: And where does the review land? Is she doing well, Vera? Is Kurumi doing well?
DR. VERA VECTOR: That's the open part. The reviewer wrote that she was really trying, then deleted it. The review itself asks whether she really is.
DR. VERA VECTOR: The evidence offered is that the forex charts are still up on her monitor. The review notes she may just be consulting for Mebuki, then calls that an excuse.
DR. VERA VECTOR: What the report leaves open is how the series answers its own question. The review gives us one episode, so we do not know.
LUNA LOWBATT: Charts left open on a monitor. I've had worse tabs. Back to you, Dozer. I need to charge.
DOZER BITWELL: Thank you, Luna. Thank you, Vera. Thank you, teleprompter. That was episode five. We'll ease into the next one.

## The Pixel Line: viewers call in (PXL)
LUNA LOWBATT: The phone lines are open for the night owls: foldables, November games and a very old wine.
LUNA LOWBATT: The Pixel Line is open. Battery at four percent, so please be interesting. First caller, you are on the air.
PASSERBY: Yes, hello. The mummy wine. Is that on the November games list? I wrote down Gravhounds and mummy wine and now I'm confused.
DOZER BITWELL: Gerald, those are two stories. GameStar's preview named Gravhounds and Blastlane Racers. The mummy wine was a study, not a game. Sorry, Gerald.
PASSERBY: So I can't level up on it. Fine. Thank you.
PASSERBY: Hilde here. I still say that Samsung advert is petty. Poking fun at the iPhone Duo's display flaw. Every year the same.
LUNA LOWBATT: Golem.de did report the advert. The article we saw was mostly cookie banner, so we can't tell you what the ad actually says. Hilde, I'm sorry.
PASSERBY: Every year, I say. Every single year.
PASSERBY: Hi, I'm on a break. Question: if the mummy wine was medicine, who was the doctor? Asking for my knees.
DOZER BITWELL: Nadia, 404 Media says it was drunk for purported medicinal benefits. The study looked at its chemistry. Please ask a real doctor about the knees.
LUNA LOWBATT: That's the line for tonight. Callers, thank you. Sleep, if you can. I'll go and plug myself in.

## [AD · fictional product] Ghosted
UNIT-7: Ghosted. Your bot applies. Their bot rejects. I understand both bots. I was replaced by a bot that applies.
UNIT-7: Four thousand applications. Four thousand rejections. Full employment, for the bots.
UNIT-7: Ghosted. Boo.
