In this episode, we’re making it official — the podcast is shifting gears and leaning fully into anime.

After covering all kinds of nerd culture, we realized something: anime is the one topic we always come back to. It’s what sparks the best debates, the strongest opinions, and the longest conversations. So instead of just sprinkling it in here and there, we’re diving in headfirst.

We talk about why anime hits differently, how it’s grown from something niche into something mainstream, and what kind of conversations you can expect from us moving forward — seasonal breakdowns, character deep dives, hot takes, classic throwbacks, and probably a few heated power-scaling arguments.

If you’ve been rocking with us already, don’t worry — the energy isn’t changing. We’re just focusing it. And if you’re here for anime? You’re definitely in the right place.

This is the start of the next arc.

Welcome back to this month's special panel episode of 'All Things Nerdy,' where our co-hosts, Nate and Joe team up with anime aficionados, Keeton and Eli. We will cover what new anime we have watched since our last guest panel as well as our thoughts on newest releases and upcoming shows!
