    In the first part of our New Year's Cleaning sub-series, a series focused on publishing older episodes that for one reason or another didn't get uploaded, the boys talk about their experience at Otakon 2024. From potential expensive purchases to some crazy concert moments and more, was Otakon 2024 worth it? Tune in now to find out. This is going to be a relatively short sub-series, so look forward to new episodes very very soon. Thank you all for listening and see you next week!

    #163 - The End of a (Manga) Era

    First of all, a MASSIVE thanks to our listeners for sticking with us during this dry spell - we have plenty we're gonna try to give in the coming weeks. With that being said, this is the end of a manga era. From larger series like JJK and MHA ending to relatively smaller ones like Hokkaido Gals, there's a real chance that what you started your journey into anime with is no longer around to walk the path with you. Join Wes, Demetrius, and Syed as they reminisce on their childhood series ending, give advice on how to get over it, and discuss some trends they see moving into a new age.

    #159 - Our (overdue) Tribute to Akira Toriyama

    It's been a while since the passing of Akira Toriyama and in all honesty it has taken a while for us to gather all of our thoughts in a way that we feel is presentable. So this week, for our listeners out there, join the boys as they celebrate the life and works of Akira Toriyama.

    #158 - Did we guess the 2024 Crunchyroll Anime Awards?

    First of all, the news of Akira Toriyama's passing hit us all out of nowhere and hard so there will be a memorial episode coming out soon. With that aside, this week join the boys as they review their picks from the 2024 Crunchyroll Anime Awards, discuss their thoughts on the show's changes over the years, and speak on the environment that the anime community currently is in that might have led to some surprise wins or predictable sweeps. Thank you for listening and see you all soon!
