Not sure if I ever heard the "lost first episode," but I have enjoyed every single one since then. This is a fantastic podcast all about Japan, games, and Japanese games. The hosts are all charming, yes even Mark (of 1upYours fame), and have spent years in the industry. Guests are always pleasant surprises and have added value to the show. The audio quality is solid and consistent. Content is always a treat, it is wonderful hearing of the adventures in Japan from people that I can relate to. 10/10

This is a gaming podcast that hits on all sorts of main releases, but also focuses on Japan and Japanese gaming culture (in English). I'd say as a whole the split is 50/50. Problem is there isn't a lot of structure and at times I get tired of listening to one subject across many of episodes (Monster World Hunter). Overall a good podcast.
