Is The West a Threat to Anime? I'd say this episode is rated PG-13.  Beyond this warning, you do you.  So, we're kinda worried that the "modern sensibilities" of the Western World is going to f*ck up our anime!  As anime creators seek to further cash in on the west; will they start making anime like the boring garbage we get from Hollywood ?  Or can we count on them to keep the ideal, the Free Expression of Ideas?  These hot & messy questions are what we talk about in this episode of...

First, I'm not buying that it's Spy "times" Family... No matter what Twitter says! And even if it is, we at Anime ShoShin refuse to call it that! Why? because that's a dumb name!

Phew, now that that's out of the way.  In this episode we talk about the first 5 episodes of Spy x Family. And a bunch of other random stuff, so we hope you Like x It! AnimeShoShin.com

In our most controversial episode yet, we discuss how females, women and girls are portrayed in anime.  Right, wrong or indifferent, we say what we want to say on the subject.  Can you handle it?  Will you make it all the way through the episode?  Or will you throw your phone, break it, and have to make an insurance claim?  You don't have insurance on your phone?  Then maybe keep it our of arm's reach while you listen.
