Anime World Order Show # 15 - Listener email and nothing but, with special guest Ichigo from Anime Pulse

If your download of this episode has overlapping audio for about ten seconds at 24:40, redownload the file. This was a problem in the first version that was uploaded that has been fixed.

This week we're breaking new grounds in laziness as we not only catch up on reading listener emails, we try out new microphones that sound well, bad. Fortunately, Ichigo from Anime Pulse is our guest to offer his unique and robotic-sounding perspective!
