More Than Hentai is a podcast that aims to showcase and introduce listeners to the brilliantly unpredictable world of anime. Each episode sees fans both old and new join Brendan to discuss the first episode of one particular anime, that was handpicked by Brendan based on the guests tastes and interests. With each new episode you'll be introduced to a new guest as well as a new anime, with discussions focused on the good (and potentially bad) of the show, their overall impressions and also if they will continue to watch beyond the first episode. As a friendly courtesy, light spoilers are to be expected. Regardless of whether you're a longstanding fan of the genre, or are about to dive in for the very first time, More Than Hentai | An Anime Appreciation Podcast is the show for you I suppose.
