It's the most wonderful time of the year! Anime Secret Santa-san has once again performed his annual B&E and left us with an interesting array of anime series, movies, and OVAs under our tree. Austin and Bill and are joined by Tori and Sarah, two first-timers to the Anime Secret Santa festivities! Bill reviews three of his picks because he likes being extra (Roujin Z, Tsuritama, and Mai Mai Miracle), Austin reviews Chihayafuru (Season 1), Tori reviews Kaiji: Ultimate Survivor, and Sarah reviews Gunbuster! As our holiday gift to you, I hope you enjoy the lively conversation. A huge special thanks to everyone who participates in this fun project every year, especially the folks at the Taiiku Podcast who have kept it going the last few years. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and may God save your little broken body.
