This week Chigo was too busy translating, but Rukia joins us. We discuss news, the lack of Bleach, and types of food we learned about and now eat because of Anime. We review Futakoi, Lamune and Naruto. Why is it called the Twins episode? You’ll have to listen to find out.
Futakoi: Wait until it hits the US and Netfix it.
Lamune: Wait until it hits the US and Netfix it.
