Spring 2014 Anime Season Preview

Hey guess what The Cart Driver writers are excited for this season? I’ll give you a clue: It has the letters J and O in the title. It may even have each of those letters twice. A little bit later than usual, but welcome to The Cart Driver’s World Famous [citation needed] Anime Season Preview,……

Fall 2013 Anime Season Preview
