AniWorthAndroid Ana Maico 2010
Introduction
In the year 2010, the Japanese radio industry is in decline.

This is an older show that has yet to be released in the US, I watched it subbed.
Story: There is not much of a story; it is just them recording a show so it all feels like a bubble. Except for a few episodes at the end, the show is also all one-shots and it is enjoyable at that.
