Oldtaku no Radio #001 – Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju

Hello! Welcome to a brand new monthly podcast, Oldtaku no Radio,
hosted by Ink and Jared here at Ani-Gamers. This new cast spun
off an impomptu recording by the aforementioned hosts after they
hijacked the Ani-Gamers Podcast proper to review ReLife, but now
it’s its own monster.


For their first official episode, Ink and Jared talk at length
about the Winter 2016 anime Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju. Adapted
from Haruko Kumota’s josei manga, this show
largely follows the turbulent friendship of two sibling-like
orators as they train through times of hardship,
prosperity, war, and love. The anime is discussed in great
detail, so there are plot spoilers. Rest assured, however, that
there is no spoiling this anime; it’s even better the second time
around! If you have anything to add to the discussion, we welcome
your comments below.


Attention, iTunes users: The podcast isn’t
on the iTunes Store just yet, so for now you’ll have to manually
