This week on The Wonder of Anime podcast, I’m joined by the brilliant Erica of Tsunderi. She’s an anime content creator focusing on YouTube videos and TikTok content. Erica and I dive into her anime history (spoiler alert it starts with Sailor Moon!) We talk about wishing we could attend HBCU, anti blackness in the Latino community, and a lot of fangirling over our husbandos.
