Suggestion. Please add a page that lists ALL the AT summaries. Either that or a search function. Was looking at picking up a new manga series as part of the inventory sale. Thought Marie might have reviewed it. But clicking through 35 pages of AT summaries wasn't going to cut it. At least with one huge page, I could have used the browser search function. I did wind up buying the first two GNs but I do find Marie's manga reviews to be spot on and very helpful.

If you go to the Episode Index, there are 20 episodes worth of brief summaries to look through. A search option is a great idea though and we'll definitely keep that in mind, especially since we've been putting out podcasts for almost 3 years now!

Tried the short summaries but they didn't seem to mention Marie's reviews. At least not consistently. A search option would be very helpful since there is no text version of the content yet there is a lot of worthwhile content.....

We'll be adding search sometime down the road, just taking some time to get everything we want to do done.

Search would be helpful. Looking forward to it. Thanks.
