Animēshon Podcast Covering the best of Anime and Manga.

Finally! I’ve been doing the recording sessions for this episode for almost a month now, and I’m really happy with the guests that I was able to get on the show. I’m trying something new with this episode, meaning that guests are divided into separate segments and will be discussing a different topic on the battle of old anime vs new anime.

So what do I mean by old anime vs new anime? Glad you asked, I’m going to find out if newer anime productions have gone down the shitter, or if the older stuff is simply held with too much nostalgia backed with years of fandom and discussion. Hopefully after listening to this you can decide where you stand on the topic.
