  • Sub vs. Dub / Anime vs. Manga ft. Andrew Bennett

    Today Andrew graced us with his presence once again to talk about his favorite topic: anime. In what turned more into a discussion than an argument because we all kind of agreed with each other (except for Tristan and poop emoji who don't like weebs), the three heroes discuss the best ways to enjoy anime and what benefits each method brings.
