Episode 187 – Live at AnimeJapan


Listen Later

AnimeJapan has come and gone... a while ago, with how late this show is, but with it comes a lot of big announcements of a VERY big summer season coming up, and we're going to lay out the details for what's poised to be a rom-com-heavy July along with the usual updates and menageries that the strange and bizarre anime industry has on offer, like a weird pseudo-incestuous corporate offspring, HiDive losing and gaining some shows this month, Netflix viewer data, a new paid 'adult' platform, and most importantly of all: GAY ANGEL TWINKS.

Thanks for your patience with this show. We'll be back in May.
