AGP#066 – The Age of Consent at the Speed of Light

Evan’s been playing way too much of the highly anticipated,
supremely disappointing space game No Man’s Sky, so we brought
Anime News Network veteran Bamboo Dong on the show to
talk about the game, as well as the recent week of big anime
news, including Sentai Filmworks’ license of Chihayafuru and The
Mary Sue’s controversial article about moé. Topics include:
the choice between the charger and the headphones, the The People
v. O. J. Simpson of anime, and weeaboo eye exams.
