89 - Vampire Hunter Dandy: Future Fantasy, Space Pirates, and Losing Touch with the Youth
On this episode, Kelby and David try something new. They each focused on a different piece of media, and during the episode, we tell the other about it.
David read Hideyuki Kikuchi's 1983 novel Vampire Hunter D, and Kelby watched Space Dandy.
