Anime games, or games dedicated to anime IP, are becoming more and more common nowadays, with publishers like Bandai Namco, Sega, Koei Tecmo and more creating titles that bring interactivity to many fans' favorite anime and manga franchises.

Yet, more often than not those games aren't that great. In this week's episode, we discuss the reasons behind that, why we're seeing so many anime games nowadays, and whether it's possible for them to be really good or not, with quite a few positive and negative examples.

As usual, Please keep in mind that this podcast is still in an experimental phase. Constructive criticism and suggestions are absolutely welcome and encouraged, so please leave them in the comments below. You can also let us know which themes you’d like to see covered in upcoming episodes.
