Super Fun and Accessible Anime Podcast

I look forward to this podcast every week. I find it enjoyable to listen to as John and Julie are discovering the facets of anime with me! I even went out of my way to watch some of the anime they reviewed! Definitely worth checking out!

This podcast is fun to listen, even if you haven’t seen any anime before and just want to learn about themes and tropes.
