A little bit of an update on Notaku. Happy Holidays and we will be back in 2021!

Another anime newscast from your pals Setsuken and Guardian Enzo.  Our main focus this week (not counting Enzo's double entendres) is Netflix (a recurrent theme for us).  There's also some Ghibli talk, a first look at the PS5 and how it can impact your anime experience, and our usual customer feedback and questions.
