Is This Anime? is a podcast hosted by friends & comedians Jack Metcalfe & Malcolm McLeod. Jack is an anime "expert" and has loved the genre all of his life. Malcolm has never watched anime in his life and has no idea what it is. Each week, Jack introduces Malcolm (and sometimes a guest!) to a new anime and together they go on a journey to decide its worthiness in the great pantheon of anime... something Malcolm may never ever grasp.
