This week we look at a movie, based on a series, based on a manga! It's a wild time, where the boys get nitty gritty about plot convenience, seedy bobble sonics and over the top action scenes... then they remember that it's a kids movie!

Are you a fan of rock climbing? Have you been crying out for a show that lives and breaths boulders? Do you want a show that does the bare minimum to satisfy these interests? Then perhaps Iwa Kakeru is for you! This week, Sam and Will take 8 minutes to get started, discuss the elephant in the room and at some point, discuss some anime. Does this underdog story have what it takes to get into the Aniverse!

This week we take a closer look at the first three of The Rising of the Shield Hero. An Isekai in its purist form, this fantasy pulls our protagonist, Naofumi, out of normality and entrusts him along with three others to protect Raphtalia and its residents from evil. However, everything is not as it seems and Naofumi soon realises he's in way over his head... Listen to our review of this fascinating and somewhat controversial anime and see if it has enough to gain a place in the Aniverse!

This week we explore a show Sam has been waiting to show Will for an age, and he couldn't wait until episode 86... appalling behaviour! This show is a Mecha which means it's an automatic win for Sam, but throughout the discussion there's quite a bit that grates on Will. From the unrealistic movements of the Mecha to the character's motivations and personalities themselves, can Sam do enough to convince Will of this show's prowess?

This week we look at the romance comedy anime that is My Dress-Up Darling! A very sexual show about adolescent hormones, revolving around a Hina Doll enthusiast who befriends a cosplay enthusiast in an effort to help her design the perfect cosplay outfit! Will really doesn't know how to feel about this show, which is to it's credit, as something this saucy would usually get knocked out in act 1, but does this show have something special?

This week we discuss the final part of Avatar the last Airbender, and boy is this one a controversial one! Will pitches his opinion that this final season is nothing but filler, and Sam tries his hardest to dispute it. Will pitches his other opinion that the season should have an alternate ending which for the most part, Sam seems to agree with. All in all, despite loving Avatar in general, it's fair to say Will has his issues with book three.

This week we continue our special dive into Avatar the last airbender, and now we can really get our teeth into the growth of the characters and development of the story! We discuss the poignant moments of this show, from Zuko's arc to Uncle Iroh's lost son Tale, and laugh a lot at the hilarity of Sokka and Toph. And don't worry, we will absolutely discuss the most important thing in this series... The secret love tunnel.

This week we begin our journey into Avatar! We know it's not strictly anime, but its definitely got its links and we thought it had earned itself a place on the show! What do you guys think? Anime or Ani-no? Listen to our full review where we gush about the impact this show had on us both as children and adults!

This week we look at the gory, the epic, the downright apocalyptic zombie anime of Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress! We spend a long time comparing this to AOT, for obvious reasons, but also praise it on its own merit. Does it do enough to get in the Aniverse though?
