In this pilot episode of the podcast, we flail around helplessly trying to talk about things we enjoy. But also and more importantly, Louie leads us in covering the first main arc of DanDaDan by Yukinobu Tatsu -- The Turbo Granny Arc -- and we spend much of the time gushing about how wonderful the series is due to the fact that, it is, actually, wonderful. In addition, Tom takes us on a short discussion on the manga The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess by Akira Himekawa.
