AGP#037 – Spicy Wolf, Made with Real Wolf!

What’s that? SIX MONTHS? Well, if you listen to the Ani-Gamers
Podcast, I guess you’re probably used to super-long waits by now.
Anyway, we’re back, and we’re starting off the year 2012 with
something very timely and totally not recorded in the spring of
last year: a review of the 2008 Spice & Wolf anime with
Evan, Ink, and THEM Anime Reviews‘ very own Bradley C. Meek.
Prepare for economics, wolf girls, and infuriating moé shepherds.
That, plus a few mild spoilers, but there honestly isn’t much
worth spoiling in this show. (Check the show notes for timecodes
if you’re really spoiler-phobic.)


We’re also trying out some new intro and outro music, so we would
appreciate some feedback on those from our listeners.
