This week we're back on our vampire grind. Netflix just dropped the 5 episode series, Vampire in the Garden and naturally we watched it. We've had a lot of vampire content in recent memory so we'll go into what worked for this one, what didn't and ultimately discuss whether 5 episodes was enough or too many even? From there Nick has something that's been bugging him because of a comment online, so we're going to make a defense for last minute recap episodes. And finally with anime more popular than ever is it becoming too dang expensive to stream all of the titles as they come out? Are Disney and Netflix looking to be serious competition to Crunchyroll? Who knows? Not us, but we can sure speculate, so join us as we figure out how much it costs to consume this much anime.
