Breaking a Leg Or Two For The Love Of Your Life. Allen takes a look at Tonikawa: Over The Moon For You, a show about two people starting their new life together at the scene of a serious accident. From there, it goes through most of the motions of a 90's anime romantic sitcom for both good and bad. And that's Allen saving our weekly hide once again. See you all later. -Stig Høgset.
