Customer Reviews
Passionate. Energetic. Fun.
Wonderful and informative podcast focusing mostly on anime films (though occasionally they review OVA's or full series).
The hosts remind me of the hosts of Dubbletalk; very cheery and funny. It's nice to have a podcast without overwhelming negativity all of the time.
This podcast is also a great change of pace compared to other podcasts, which typically cover seasonal anime. This show covers stuff old and new, so there's a little something for everyone.
Highly recommended.
Great for Casual and Hardcore Fans Alike!
I don’t know Japanese or watch every anime on Earth. This show is great for me because it is a great introduction to the expansive world of Japanese cinema and the hosts ooze passion. I basically watch Naruto, DBZ, and Miyazaki but now have some great films to watch after listening to some of these episodes.
