[Community Poll] Series Recommendations – Anime Edition

So many shows, so little time! With the inception of the Centaku Media Podcast, I figured this would be a good place to start where I can verbally discuss details of an anime series I’ve waited until–whenever it is decided–to watch. There are many lists out there of good anime recommendations, but I don’t know where to begin!

Centaku Media Podcast – Episode #00: Let’s Try That Again (+ Show Notes)

This is the re-inaugural episode of the Centaku Media podcast, which is a reboot of “The CEN.TAKU.ME Podcast” that was started a little over a decade ago, with only a few episodes released. With a renewed outlook of how I want to produce content, I am reattempting a podcast format in hopes of connecting with like-minded people who are into anime and the things in-between!

Flamingosis – Gucci Gang (Future Funk Remix) [Music Spotlight]

I’ve been wanting to write something about Future Funk for a while, although I’ve managed to write about it here and there in a few posts on the blog.
