This is the episode you’re going to want to listen to until the very last second! Wicked Anime has more absurd news than we can handle in our short little block of time.

In this episode, we're highlight the best of the bunch - all across the spectrum. Join Jonstar, AFLM, and Evan as they talk about what’s happening in ...
