ERASED from Our Memories (Winter 2016 Review)

Today on Choco☆Disaster, FutureFriend and ChorpSaway reconvene in order to discuss the winter 2016 season. Did the shows live up to our own preconceived hype, or did the fail to make an impression on us? Which shows had satisfactory endings and which had the best individual moments? Will ChorpSaway be able to handle the fact that he watched twice as much anime and has three times as much to say about FutureFriend? All this and more for the spring preview episode! (By the way, ChorpSaway forgot to talk about the end of Haikyuu!! Second Season because he’s a dummy and JordanKai wasn’t here to remind him! It was very good and the series as a whole still stands as one of the best sports anime.)
