Can you believe it? We made it to fifty episodes! And what better way to celebrate this milestone of podcasting that reading out a list? How about reading out a list of the TOP 50 ANIME YOU MUST SEE BEFORE WE SNEAK INTO YOUR HOUSE AND MURDER YOU & YOUR LOVED ONES IN YOUR SLEEP? (That is how you linkbait this sort of nonsense, right?)
Not enough friend listener, then how about if we told you this list was made by the guests from the previous forty nine episodes? Still not interested? Howzabout a LEON EVERETT? Whattabout a NIALL FLANAGAN from SECRET OF THE SAILOR MADNESS?
Sounds pretty good doesn’t it? But that’s not all, there’s also a shout out from a TOTALLY REAL ANIME CHARACTER and a WHOLLY ORIGINAL game show.

Congratulations on making it to 50 episodes!! And what an epic one this turned out to be! I’d agree with most of the titles on the list, although there were some amusingly left-field choices. Here’s to another 50 years, as Anthony said. I look forward to what the future holds for the show, it sounds like we’ll be looking forward to some interesting episodes.
It’s a crime that Anthony hasn’t seen Mind Game yet. A CRIME. I hope this will be rectified, because even if you guys don’t do an episode on it, everyone needs to see Mind Game.
By the way, if you’re ever looking for guests from outside the UK anime scene, I like anime and I have a decent microphone.
Thanks! What anime or topic would you like to chat about?
Ideally something with interesting or funny animation because that’s where my interests and knowledge are mostly, but really anything would be fun! Feel free to email me if you’re interested:
