Episode 7: Eldian History 101
We're back on the Attack on Titan: Final Season grind as we decide to spice things up by covering both episodes 4 & 5. In this episode, Rivena and Xanza take their respective corners as they defend their stances regarding the motivations behind the actions of the most prestigious family in all of Marley: the Tybur family. We take it a step further as we dissect and pick apart the "true" Eldian history that is revealed and how these two episodes reshape the entire tone of the AoT going forward. I hope you all have your thinking caps on deck because we're diving deep on this one otaku fam.

Episode 6: Out With A Bam
Weee're back! After a small break, we decide to return with one of our favorite animated webtoons to premiere in 2020: Tower of God! Xanza and Rivena open the conversation with an extended discussion about the good, the bad, and the very ugly that is Rachel and Bam's relationship and how she introduces a dynamic that isn't common in anime. We also cover the various characters and how their personalities along with Bam's mesh with the overall plot. Did we mention that this episode is (somewhat) spoiler-free?

Episode 5: Orange Jumpsuit Apparatus
I'm gonna be upfront with you guys, there isn't any specific topic centered around this episode per se, except the fact that me (Xanza) and Rivena felt it was high time we opened the conversation about out everybody's favorite orange jumpsuit wearing ninja- Naruto!
In this episode, we experiment with a "touch and go" approach as we bounce between some of our favorite (and not-so favorite) moments in Naruto and Naruto: Shippuden as we compare thoughts, opinions, and even conspiracies...We even take the time to theorize why we think a vocal portion of the Naruto fandom have gripes with Boruto as a whole.
You don't want to miss this one! Believe it! (Sorry y'all, you know I had to...) -
Episode 4: Saving Private Reiner
On today's menu, we decide to get back to our bread and butter with an episode analysis of the third episode of Attack on Titan: Final Season! In this episode, Xanza and Rivena take opposing stances when it comes to interpreting Reiner's backstory and upbringing. Join us as we dissect the decisions and events that eventually lead up to eventful day that forever changed the fates of Eren, and everyone on Paradise as we know it.

Episode 3: Watch Jujutsu Kaisen Because Bleach
In this episode, we decide to switch things up and dive into one of the hottest new anime to hit 2020 - Jujutsu Kaisen! Rivena and Xanza give their personal reviews and analysis of the first episode (and keeping it spoiler-free of course) while breaking down what we think makes the new series so popular. Especially when we make a side-by-side comparison with one of our old, "Big 3" Shonen favorites; Bleach! (not-so spoiler free, sorry not sorry folks).
P.S. I couldn't have been the only one repeatedly calling the show, Jujutsu "No" Kaisen, when it first came out right?...I was? That's crazy... - Xanza -
