This was a very good episode. I like the focus on anime. Please keep on bringing those! Anime scores are just so varied and rich that it’s a great idea to review them in podcast form. Thanks for doing this!
Thank you so much Markus! It means a lot to me to hear comments about the show and the type of format that it is. I keep trying to do more and hope I can bring more episodes in the future! I’ve got one more ready to go and one I’m working on. If you have any suggestions let me know. Although I will not cover overly spiritistic anime nor overly sexual animes. I have my standards. Hope you enjoy the show more!
