    Just started this podcast this morning already 9 eps in. Anyway, I am watching Prince of Tennis, Magatau Wahrheit, forever One Piece, all Isekai. I suggest Hinomaru Sumo as a show to watch it’s the best sports anime and it is sad it didn’t have more seasons. Also By the Grace would be a dope video game just imagine creating different slimes and finding different ways to utilize their abilities.
