ETC S03E10: Beechar Enters the Chat...AGAIN!
Beechar Enters the Chat... AGAIN! It's time to wrap up the first half of the year. What anime and video games stood out? Which ones didn't and why? Beware... this episode gets super nerdy with a lot of anime and a dash of gaming. And here to help us again is Twitch streamer and cosplayer, beechar! Note: We mention english dub voice actor, Billy Kametz, who, at the time, was in treatment for stage 4 cancer. Since then, he has unfortunately passed away, so we send our love and support for his friends, family and community.
