Halloween Special: Dracula, Sovereign of the Damned

In a cheap gimmick, we cash in on the Halloween spirit and talk
about a trash masterpiece (trashsterpiece?) from 1980, Toei's
Dracula: Sovereign Of The Damned. We also talk about why Anime is
bad at horror, and the concept of "so bad it's good". Regular
coverage returns next week.


The Anime Research Group is a weekly podcast about all the anime
we never got round to watching. Episodes contain spoilers for
early episodes of the shows, and ill-informed speculation on
future episodes.  There are a few instances of cursing.


You can find us on twitter @research_anime . New episodes are
coming every Thursday.


This episode was recorded on October 27th, 2020.
