The 40th Episode of the Spiraken Manga Review.This episode can be considered an anniversery episode and a supplimental cause it covers everything from anime to comics to video games and even movies. Xan decides to review a true manga(graphic novel), Xan Reviews the movie adaption and the graphic novel Watchmen, ,----more---- at least he tries to. He and Guest Host Baz insult several demographics and even talk bad about Star Wars, Lord of the Rings,Star Trek, and even video games like Smackdown vs Raw, Burnout Paradise, and Call of Duty. Sorry that this was not a full review episode, I tried to keep it as clean as I could but well, when i hang out with Baz, things go a little haywire. Episode 41 will be back to basics about reviewing manga I promise. If this is your first exposure to spiraken, go back and listen to earlier episodes.
