Join the Cosplay Collective NE for our Anime of the month, where we watch 3 episodes and judge whether we'll finish the show based on those episodes. This month, we skate through town with Reki, his friends, (and their abs?) in Sk8 the infinity. Will Sk8 keep the collective rolling downhill, or does it peter out in the flats? Listen now to find out?
