I would call this a rise from the ashes, but Anime Utahime already rose from the ashes more than a few times in its day, so I won’t. I suppose I’ll call this more of an experiment, then. You all wanted the anime music back. I wanted the anime music back. So let’s try this again and see if I can get the ball rolling.

I won’t promise anything long-term yet, because you all know I’m bad at making those sorts of podcast promises, especially when I have a lot on my internet plate already. However, I’d like to try anyway, just because I miss the hell out of talking to the internet about anime music. So long as I stay amateur, don’t set off to make a cent from of this project, and always link to places where you can buy the music played, hopefully that’ll keep us out of trouble. Cross your fingers, guys!
