This month’s episode is another ReView! What is a “ReView”
episode, you might ask? Well, it’s my highly-clever (ok not
really) name for episodes where I go back and revisit an older
title I haven’t seen in a long time, and see if what I remember
(and what my opinions on it) are still the same now that some
time’s gone by. This month, I’m revisiting an 80s OVA that’s not
only filled to the brim with some pretty obscure otaku
references, but is also a pretty obscure American DVD release
(well, as of this recording, anyway!)–Prefectural Earth
Defense Force. Does this former cult classic still hold up?
Let’s find out!
