Welcome to our first ever OVA! In this short but sweet recording, we have Setsu explaining JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 3 to the cast of Episode 22... Well ok so it's like half of Part 3, but still! Strange characters, trips around the world, and all other sorts of confusion in a simple 30 minute audio. And who knows, maybe we will finally get the answers for the question on everyone's mind from Episode 22: What pig?

After 5 long holiday months, with no commercial breaks and still no sponsorships, the gang is back together and starting the New Year off with a throwback.
