Now that the winter season has begun in earnest, we dig into what it has to offer us. Which is...a mixed bag, honestly. Some good, some dull, some bad. And then there's Hand Shakers, a show that must be watched to truly understand how thoroughly and magnificently terrible it is. I do my best to articulate the sights and sounds one experiences when subjected to Hand Shakers, but human language can only communicate so much. Please, watch Hand Shakers and understand my suffering.

Also that Maid Dragon show is a very early contender for surprise of 2017, so that's certainly something.

Please email listener questions to bakacast[at]projectharuhi.net or leave them in the comments below. Let us know what shows you're watching and whether or not I was way too mean about your favorite one. Or not mean enough, maybe?
