Welcome to the Anime Nostalgia Podcast, a mix of anime & manga history, reviews, and talks with other fans on titles and aspects of fandom from everywhere from the 70s to the 90s!

Halloween is just around the corner, so what better time to talk about the world of the longtime fan-favorite Vampire Hunter D? Returning guest MinovskyArticle (aka Casey) and I delve into not just the the Saturday Anime staple, but Kawajiri’s Bloodlust, and the much lesser-known facets of D’s world you might not even know about. All this plus Halloween costumes & strange fanart stories, too! Grab your fanciest Dracula cape and have a listen!
