Our annual Thanksgiving trivia episode returns! We're joined by none other than Red Bard (Kennedy) whose success as a YouTuber vastly exceeds anything we've ever done. Like Daryl, they too are a contributor to Anime Herald Magazine, the first issue of which is out now in print and digital. BUT HOW MUCH DO THEY KNOW ABOUT ODIN AND BLACK LION?! (Disclaimer: we all mixed up Nobunaga in Black Lion with Ginnai, so we don't know very much ourselves.) Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Halloween is upon us, and while we don't quite have any bona fide horror anime lined up, after everyone gives initial impressions of the Fall 2025 anime season Clarissa reviews the somewhat eerie and entirely too short anime adaptation of Pet Shop of Horrors.

As the Fall 2025 anime season approaches, we talk about our favorites of Summer 2025 before Gerald reviews Bubblegum Crash!, the 3-part sequel to Bubblegum Crisis which we reviewed some 17 years ago. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Malady and illness caused us to miss last month, but Gerald attended Otakon 2025 and Daryl reviews what he considers a landmark of "post-Evangelion TV anime," the mecha comedy-drama Martian Successor Nadesico. And also...the movie. But also the Gekiganger 3 OVA. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

We were all guest panelists at Anime Boston 2025, so we didn't review anything this month.. Along wiht our con report, we do catch up on some recent emails sent to us. Been a while since we did either! Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

In this episode, by popular request Daryl reviews the 1998 sci-fi Western Outlaw Star, which we all remember so little about it's almost like we're seeing it for the first time. The original Toonami Generation is now middle-aged, after all. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Now that it's been a year since the untimely passing of Akira Toriyama, Clarissa reviews his greatest work released in the US...namely, the first five Dr. Slump movies!

2025 is off to a terrible start, not just in terms of current world events but because in this episode Daryl follows up on his previous review of the 1997 Berserk TV series with this review of the decades-anticipated 2016 Berserk TV series. Oh boy. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.
