The OG crew got together on Valentine's Day to record a surprise, impromptu love letter to the winter 2026 anime season! Our text group has been blowing up every week discussing the progress in our favorite shows from this season so we decided to bring it to you on camera. There is no real structure to this recording; we just kind of freestyled it and talked up the shows that has captured our attention. 950 Club Linktree: https://bit.ly/3zAE4mMEdwin's Art Page: @enievesart on IGJack IG/Threads: @jackforcegemini575Jamaal IG/Threads: @koolaidbrigade#anime #podcast #animepodcast #crunchyroll #primevideo #netflix #fypシ #viral #recommended #hidive #youtube #medalist #frieren #tamonsbside #hellsparadise #youandiarepolaropposites #journalwithwitch #holygrailoferis #oshinoko #invisiblemanandhissoontobewife #champignonwitch #trigun #rolloveranddie #jjk

2025 will go down as one of the best years in anime. We are able to watch a lot of great shows but it made for a difficult time determining a top 20. Along with our guy Ty, we sit down for a record 6 and a half hours to discuss our 5 honorable mentions and our top 20 shows of 2025. We cover a lot of ground with a lot of different anime. We surprised each other with some shows and the placement of some shows on our list, and discuss what made the shows great to us. 950 Club Linktree: https://bit.ly/3zAE4mMEdwin's Art Page: @enievesart on IGJack IG/Threads: @jackforcegemini575Jamaal IG/Threads: @koolaidbrigadeTyler (Anime Degens) on Threads/YouTube/IG/BlueSky/X: @animedegens #anime #podcast #animepodcast #crunchyroll #primevideo #netflix #fypシ #viral #recommended #clevatess #fragrantflowerbloomswithdignity #hidive #youtube #apothecarydiaries #mydressupdarling #orb #sololeveling #umamusume #dragonball #kaijuno8 #spyxfamily #gachiakutaanime #takopisoriginalsin #medalist #dandadan #top20

2023 is a year to be remembered in anime history. The 950 Club finally comes back with our top favorite shows of 2023! Alberto previously joined us for our Fan Expo panel but makes his official debut and what a way to start off 2024! Jamaal, Edwin and Jack join in as well and have plenty of shows to rank as we mention the very popular, (Demon Slayer, Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2, Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War) to the not so popular (The Faraway Paladin Season 2, Reborn as a Vending Machine, Otaku Elf, Berserk of Gluttony) and our most disappointing shows (Oshi no Ko, Mushkou Tensei Season 2, KonoSuba: An Explosion on this Wonderful World!). But we definitely didn't forget shows like Campfire Cooking in Another World, The Dangers in My Heart, Tomo-chan is a Girl!, and The Apothecary Diaries. Listen in if you are curious on select shows that you haven't seen to get a good sample on how special 2023 was! P.S. These were our favorites.
