2023 is coming to a close, so you know what that means--That's right, it's time for another Year in Review! And this time, my good buddy Grant is here to help discuss the results of my annual year-end survey as filled out by you, the listeners! What older anime titles were you excited to buy (sometimes again) this year, and what titles are you looking forward to coming out in 2024? We also talk about all the memorable news stories from throughout this long, seemingly never-ending year. Hear all the silliness, strangeness, sadness, and stress of this year; PLUS the winners of the survey giveaway in this extra long episode. Happy Holidays & Happy New Year!!

ANN Guest Article: All I Want For Christmas Is More Classic Shojo Anime!

 

To celebrate Discotek's upcoming release of Lady Georgie on SD-blu ray, I got to write an article about what other classic shojo anime I'd love to see get a release in English! You can read it on their website here. (And if you haven't pre-ordered it yet, you can still get it using my affiliate link here!)

It's that time again -- The Year In Review survey!

It’s become tradition that in December, I do a year in review podcast episode. And once again, I need your help! So please, dear listeners, take a moment to let me know your opinions on older anime titles that were re-released this year (among other things) on the survey HERE! In the spirit of the season, several lucky listeners who live in the USA and fill out the survey will be chosen at random to win special prizes! You have until December 18th to fill out the survey, so hop to it!! I’ll announce the winners on the new episode of the podcast when me & my special guest will discuss the results!  Survey is now CLOSED! Thank you to everyone who participated!

Want to get a special holiday shout out in the last episode of 2023? All you have to do is tip me a coffee at my Ko-Fi account here! Thanks, and look forward to an awesome Year In Review episode this year!!
