About this listen

 Anime is something that we all enjoy and appreciate, and something that we love talking about. Sometimes we just want to appreciate and analyze art. Sometimes we are in the mood for entertainment. Sometimes we find ourselves bogged down by life’s worries and need a form of escape. Anime is our drug of choice, when everything else outside in real life, or even just the mainstream media is overwhelming. This podcast is a fun and safe place to share our thoughts about anime. Relax and listen to our silly, yet thought-provoking discussions as we loiter our time away in the Anime Waiting Room.The Anime Waiting Room Science Fiction
