So back in the far flung past (last month or so*) we solicited questions from the people. Mostly on Twitter. Also via spamming Third Impact Anime's Facebook Community. These are those questions. And our answers! In December. Look, time is an illusion, we all know this. *Pretty sure the idea was to record in October, then release in November? But now it's December. Hi December! OSMnotes Ryan is a pretty cool dude and you can check out his Twitter right here! Thanks everyone for sending in questions! Some, we'll have to come back to you all on them. As some are really whole episode topics in their own right (Looking at you, Top Ten Anime Betrayals)!
