Customer Reviews
It's most definately podcasting at its finest
R5 Central is a podcast that definately deserves a lot more love. It's got great production values, and Mike talks about a wide variety of topics covering all aspects of Japanese pop culture. In the name of Great Justice, you must listen to R5 Central!!
One of the best edited podcasts
This podcast is informative and sounds awesome. Much better than some anime podcasts...like weeaboobies. While it takes them a while to edit each episode. it is worth the wait
OSNAP!
What can I say about R5 Central? Mike Dent is a robot. That's okay though because robots kick a*s. You didn't know that already? Geez, maybe if you listened to this podcast you wouldn't be a total dunce about these things. You can still redeem yourself if you subscribe...
