We love all those mailbags you loyal listeners send us. But sometimes, we get so zealous in our pursuit of knowledge of anime that our mailbag gets too heavy for us to carry! So what do we do? Unload it of course! This show is dedicated to you, the listener, as we answer anything and everything you all have sent us over the past few weeks.

Anime can have short, medium, or excessively long titles. But no matter which variety of length it seems like the anime can end up being something more, or far less, than its title implies. We re-assign humorous titles to shows that are what WE think the show should have been called.
