About this episode
James Michael explores anime that defy expectations and discusses their unique strengths.
On this episode, I'm diving into anime that, on paper make absolutely no sense but somehow turn out to be amazing. I break down why these shows shouldn't work, what they do right, and how anime as a medium can take risks that other genres just can't pull off.
