AnimEighties - A Retro Anime Podcast

Mack & Lindsey explore the chaotic world of 80s & 90s anime. Join them as they experience and review iconic classics, hot garbage, and hidden gems while delivering a dose of nostalgia and laughter in every episode. animeighties.com

Choosing an Anime to Watch Based Solely on Its Opening Song!

This week, Lindsey gets to play a little game to decide which anime series she'll be watching. She’ll listen to three anime OPs randomly selected from Mackenzie’s childhood VHS collection and can only ask one question before deciding her fate! Whichever she doesn't choose today, she'll be watching in the near future, so don't worry if you heard a song you know and are sad it didn't get chosen!
