Spiraken Review Podcast
For over 600 episodes, the Wheel of Manga has been our chaotic overlord. One spin could bring the cozy fantasy of Restaurant to Another World or the body-horror of Tokyo Ghoul—we just hold the microphone. But that's not all! Get our unfiltered manga hot takes, on-the-ground convention reports, movie reviews, and dive deep with our Monthly Book Club. Whether it's the slick action of Lupin III or the profound soul-searching of Vagabond, if it's a story with pulse, we've covered it. Your weekly dose of glorious uncertainty starts here.

Episode 14 is up and running. Hurray. Unfortunately this episode only covers one manga, but don't worry Xan covered a lot of stuff, so you should be well informed. Also the opening is a little bit loud so put your speakers very low until the opening music starts or else you will go deaf. In this episode Xan reviews Bastard! God Of Destruction.
