Summary

This week, Shaun was accidentally topical when picking a show for us to watch, so come and join us as we watch 5 episodes of Whisper Me a Love Song and examine how the show’s story stands up outside of it’s controversy. Meanwhile Remington and Dylan wish romance anime had more aromantic & asexual representation.
