Next time is I dunno. How does one watch anime without Crunchyroll, definitely not a monopoly-like entity that's anti-union?

Iowa State legends Brock Purdy and David Montgomery are in the NFC Championship game against each other, and I am here for this.



Anyway. Chris (@gokuffy) and Helen (@wanderindreamr) join me (@taiikumenco) to talk through our favorite anime of 2023, including also rans and some manga talk.

A Merry Christmas to every for this edition of Anime Secret Santa, and for those that don't celebrate or don't wish to celebrate, a happy holiday or, at the very least, have a good day to you.



It's Anime Secret Santa time again! We've got some anime, and we watched a subset of that anime. Chris (@gokuffy) and Patz (@PatzPrime) join me (@taiikumenco) to talk about some anime:




I talk about Pole Princess, Franz Kafka's A Country Doctor, and Heavenly Delusion



Patz talks about The Great Adventure of Horus, Prince of the Sun

Can't wait for the Chicago White Sox to continue to be a depressing team to follow in 2024. At least there's the Seattle Mariners! *reads that the Mariners aren't going after big name free agents despite over $100m in wiggle room before the first luxury tax threshold* It's like I never left Chicago!



Anyway. This episode, Chris (@gokuffy), Ink (@ink_just_ink), and Kevin (@Twitless_Kevin) join me to talk about the not basketball or squash, but Basquash, anime: Basquash.

Next time is Anime Secret Santa

As of the last post, when I became a lifelong Mariners fan, it has been extremely peaceful in my baseball life. It's like a weight of my shoulder for liking an awful organization; one only marginally less awful than Oakland.



Anyway. This episode, Ink (@ink_just_ink) and Basil (@itsbasiltime) join me to talk about the surprisingly charming and good judo anime, Ippon Again!

Next time is who knows, and it'll probably also be late cause I keep forgetting to edit podcasts.

I heard White Sox legend Nick Madrigal hit a home run today, his second of the year and against his former team. The Craig Kimbrel trade is the gift that keeps on giving.



Anyway. This episode, Dawn (@bunnycartoon) and Randy (@ChandyRan) join me to talk about Takehiko Inoue's directorial debut and continuation of his Slam Dunk manga / anime The First Slam Dunk.



Listen to our other Slam Dunk episodes: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4
