    Welcome to Episode 103 of the Frantic Nerdcast! This week, we are tackling a massive topic: Anime Adaptations. We break down the hits, the misses, and the reboots that should have stayed in the vault.

Wishlist Adaptations: From the sports intensity of Blue Lock to the mechanical chaos of Gundam and Robotech, we list the shows we want to see turned into live-action movies.
