Welcome to the first episode of Are Fun Things Fun? Podcast, where we seek to find out if fun things are truly fun. Join Mallory and Ranka for 2+ hours of discussion: first, on the history and legacy of Manga Time Kirara and what makes something "slice-of-life," then we dig into discussing season 1 of K-ON! as we tease out what made it such a defining pillar of the genre.
