02 | Jojo's Bizarre Podcast: Meme Crusaders

1 hour 26 minutes

Hello and welcome to the second episode of "Oh no, Anime! The Podcast." Today we remember to tell you who we are, talk about a whole slew of anime and video game announcements, and are joined by Kat to answer hard hitting questions such as "What, exactly, does a gay anime baskeyball player look like?", "Is her smile really worth protecting?", and "Does this world really need a robot to assist with suicide? And does its name have to be a pun?".
