  • Don’t get me wrong I love Kirby.

    Kirby is the best video game character that ever exists and ever will exist. But if I’m gonna give this podcast a five star, you have to cover the anime. My favorite episode is a happy Haloween. The first star is for Kirby. The second star is for my favorite episode. 3 and 4 star is for Kirby and the fifth star will be for the anime. Please cover the anime. I’ll give it a five star if you do.
