Sakura Quest
This week we watch Manoyama's revitalisation effort in Sakura Quest. Maybe one day P. A. works can revitalise this podcast too. The Anime Research Group is a weekly podcast about all the anime we never got round to watching. Episodes contain spoilers for early episodes of the shows, and ill-informed speculation on future episodes. There are a few instances of cursing. You can find us on twitter @research_anime . New episodes are coming every Thursday. This episode was recorded on October 9th, 2020.
