    Episode #137 - Dressy Dressy Fun Fun

    This episode is long overdue, because we've all seen a cosplay so on point that we instantly thought 'NANI'?!?', and we almost got GTA6 before getting to deep dive into the Grand Line that is Cosplaying. And to get that in-depth, expert perspective on what it means to turn imagination into a life-sized Tanjiro with Nezuko in box, we had to get the Cosplay Royalty that is @Folacosplays, with all the tips, tricks, and vybz that we know and love her for, showing why it's not just a costume, it's a passion. Bonus points if you can guess which of the Freshmen have cosplayed before; Clue: He likes Anime and goes to the theatre. Every effort is made to keep spoilers to a minimum.

    Episode #136 - Freshie Awards 2025

    On the Mount Rushmore of the UK Anime Community, the Anime Freshmen have rightly earned our place as trailblazers, and the annual AF Freshie Awards continue to lead the way, much like Rock Lock set the standard for the term 'useless power' in My Hero Academia. We once again take a look at this year's Crunchyroll Anime Awards and give it that London twist, with our brother Big Miko pulling up and getting involved in the chaotic analysis that we hold near and dear to our hearts. Nuff bants with bro. Come through! Every effort is made to keep spoilers to a minimum.

    Episode #135 - Summoned to Another World During a Podcast Recording and It’s All Going Horribly Wrong!

    What happens when anime podcasters get sucked into not one—but three chaotic fantasy worlds ruled by spinning wheels and terrible life choices? In this special episode of Isekai Roulette, our hosts become the unfortunate heroes (or villains?) of randomized realms, armed with bizarre powers, cursed roles, and only podcast mics to their name. Expect wild world-hopping, questionable decisions, and magic systems we barely understand. Whether it’s battling slime gods, negotiating with undead kings, or trying to find Wi-Fi in a dungeon, this is isekai madness like you’ve never heard before.

    Episode #134 - The Watchlist Paradox

    Captain's Log: As we journey through the Anime Super Highway, We find ourselves wondering about life's greatest mysteries. The most elusive to date is how many anime are on our Watchlists, and will we keep adding on series? (Yes, we will). The list grows ever longer, especially with the new releases coming up in the near future; and yet, we must also still look to the past for those we've promised to watch and have left to the side like seasons 2 and 3 of Rising of that shield hero. We promise to keep promising to watch.  Join us. Every effort is made to keep spoilers to a minimum.

There's demons, angels, and a GODZILLA-SIZED DRAGON named Bahamut. Why does all this matter? Join us as we try to figure it out. --- Every effort is made to keep spoilers to a minimum.

    Episode #133 - I Love Narutou

    From Fame and Fandom to Final Forms, from Hollywood to Hidden Leaf, do celebs really Go Plus Ultra for Anime? Main Episode: In this episode, we are talking about celebrity anime fans and what we think about them bringing anime to the “mainstream” Do we feel these people are legitimately into anime or is it for ‘clout’? How would we gauge if it's genuine? Have we seen any celebs getting involved in the anime community? Do we know if they show up at conventions? Do they only do stuff if it's paid? How would we express our anime fandom if we were a celeb? Are we loud with it or under wraps? Would it influence the work that we take on? Every effort is made to keep spoilers to a minimum.
