One of the guests on the podcast was Ed Sizemore who had taken a break from podcasting and watching anime in general. Since he was out of the anime game for a while the first show they started talking about was Space Brothers and how it ended at 99 episodes as it had caught up with the manga. There was a movie that came out August 9, 2014 but other than that there are no new episodes on the horizon. But the solution to that problem also came up on the podcast.

Case Closed Review: Space Brothers

First impressions are great but what about our thoughts after we’ve watched an entire series week to week?

Reviews, these will be mini-podcasts and completely off the cuff.
