May 14, 2025 - Anime North 2025 Preview

The XAR Podcast presents the Anime North 2025 preview, where NefCanuck goes over the convention history, preparations, and the all important Charity Auction for SickKids, the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. Topics also include Spotify and "DJ X", JR finally finishing Valkyria Chronicles, nVidia woes, and Nef's new manga with the very long title: The Quest for the Luxury Liner: Seize the Rich Life with a Ship-Summoning Skill in Another World. We finish the show with a taste test by JR from Bokksu's latest snack box!
