A mythical little creature, a short acne faced child, and those scary ass things from the movie gremlins. All phrases all used to describe the slang term gremlin according to urban dictionary, but what the hell does that mean for anime characters? A rowdy tsundere? A loveable yandere? On todays episode, we discuss the groundwork in what we think makes a gremlin, along with the subgenres that go into being a menace.
