Excellent show!

Discovered these guys through Twitter, and so glad I came across them. A lot to enjoy from the hosts, especially as a fan of manga, and lots to discover too! Would recommend!

What a find! Great Podcast!

Found this podcast on Twitter and I thought I'd give it a go and wasn't disappointed! The show is funny, engaging, insightful and you can tell the guys have a blast making it! Would highly recommend!

Horse Fighting Fan ,

You can’t shun this Shonen!

Zippy, fun and engaging. This podcast does an excellent job of briefly summarising a series and then ripping it to shreds with an infectious amount of tongue in cheek and charm. Easy to get on board. Tight editing and back and forth making it an engaging show that you know the creators also enjoying making!
