It’s become tradition that in December, I do a year in review podcast episode. And once again, I need your help! So please, dear listeners, take a moment to let me know your opinions on older anime titles that were re-released this year (among other things) on the survey HERE! In the spirit of the season, several lucky listeners who fill out the survey will be chosen at random to win special prizes, which I’ll post more info about really soon! You have until December 17th to fill out the survey, so hop to it!! (Sorry, though--this giveaway is only for those with a USA mailing address. You can still fill out the survey if you're not in the US, but sadly I can't afford to mail prizes outside the country.) I’ll announce the winners on the new episode of the podcast when me & my special guest Rachel (aka SporadicErratic) will discuss the results! Want to get a special holiday shout out in the last episode of 2025? All you have to do is tip me a coffee at my Ko-Fi account here, or become a subscriber to the podcase at the Anime Club Producer level! Thanks, and look forward to another awesome Year In Review episode soon!
