Evan and David sit down to rattle off their favorite anime, manga, and games of 2016, but this time they’ve got some help from two fellow podcasters: Dave Riley and Joel White from Dave & Joel’s Fast Karate for the Gentleman! Tackling anime first, then manga, then games, the four hosts cover everything from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure to Overwatch as they celebrate a year of some pretty good nerd stuff. Topics include: log leg envy, weighted bra straps, and midnight kara-age. Slight spoiler warnings for Erased, JoJo’s, and And Yet the Town Moves.
