So yes, were looking at violent action OVAs with review’s of the first anime adaptation of Yoshiki Takaya’s Guyver manga; Guyver: Out of Control and Takeyuki Kanda’s Blue Sonnet.

Hi Everyone, Friends of the podcast Karsten and Fredrik, who host the Casual Anime Podcast, invited me onto their pod to talk a look at the first half of Darling in the FranXX.
