Everything is getting more and more expensive these days; fast food, gas, and now my anime!!

Frankfurtter and MagicallyAverage talk through the many layers of the anime industry and why becoming a pirate could have a negative impact on the anime being produced in the United States.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Twitter: BakacopodcastTwitch: FrankfurtterTikTok: @bakacopodcastInstagram: @bakacopodcastYouTube: @bakacopodcast---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------#anime #animepodcast #podcast #manga #animenews #animereviews #animerecommendations #mangacollection

You just have to ruin it for everybody, don't you...? Yeah, I'm talking to you! You know who you are. (¬_¬") MagicallyAverage and Frankfurtter talk about the depressing news out of Japan concerning recent bans due to poor tourist behavior. Areas of the Gion District in Kyoto are now restricted due to tourists abusing the businesses and individuals in the area just for a picture of the geisha wandering the streets. The Japanese government is even erecting a wall over a Lawson's in Fujikawaguchiko because tourists were littering so much and causing traffic blocks just to snap a viral photo... While its great to see the tourism industry thrive in such a beautiful country, it is a shame that many people are taking advantage of the niceties that Japan has to offer. The Baka Bois will share their thoughts on the matter in this week's episode.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Twitter: BakacopodcastTwitch: FrankfurtterTikTok: @bakacopodcastInstagram: @bakacopodcastYouTube: @bakacopodcast---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------#anime #animepodcast #podcast #manga #animenews #animereviews #animerecommendations #mangacollection
