What happens when you combine Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura, Kodocha, Rayearth, and then water it down? You get a... surprisingly decent 2001 anime. Huh. Who woulda thought?

This week we're diving back into that 90s OVA boom with some cute demon girl anime. This time it's a not-ecchi but probably still an ecchi comedy!

  • Found What I Was Looking For

    I recently watched the anime 3x3 Eyes and took to the internet to search for others talking about this thing I had just fallen in love with, only to find that fans of this particular manga/anime aren’t the type to make fansites or cosplay or have much of a presence online at all. I did, however, stumble on to this show. The hosts aren’t snarky gatekeepy clout-chasing know-it-alls, just relatable normal people who enjoy taking about the things they like. Highly recommended.

  • Started with the Vampire Hunter D episode, stayed for the Weiner Olympics... jumped to the episode with Gunsmith Cats (those three OVA episodes are so darn good)! Wait, you don't know about the Weiner Olympics? You'll just have to listen to the episodes and catch up!
