Welcome back, lost souls, to another exciting episode of Otaku Time Machine! This week, our lovable time-traveling machine decided to veer a little off course and away from our classic anime series. Instead, the crew has found themselves lost in the forest, searching for a way home, as they review the 2014 Cartoon Network classic, Over the Garden Wall. Find yourself a nice hot cocoa, a warm blanket, and maybe even some potatoes and molasses, as we soar into the spooky-season show of Over the Garden Wall!

*** SPOILERS AHEAD***

The time has come. The score will be settled. The champion will finally be crowned. We are of course talking about the powerhouse anime films from 2025: Demon Slayer Infinity Castle Arc pt. 1 and Chainsaw Man The Movie: Reze Arc. These two films alone carried the weight of the box offices around the world, amassing more than $750M globally so far. There is not argument that both anime films made quite the splash in theaters. But which really came out on top? Frankfurtter and MagicallyAverage conclude their debate on this topic and give their final thoughts on both films. Let final battle commence!!

It's finally spooky season! The air gets a bit chillier, leaves litter the front lawn, and you get the excuse to snuggle under a warm blanket while watching anime. It's the perfect season! But how does this season of anime hold up against the rest from 2025? Frankfurtter and MagicallyAverage share their thoughts on the Fall anime season so far based solely on the first episode of each anime on their watchlist! Tune in to find out if this season is just as sweet as the others, or if its frighteningly awful (Halloween puns 🎃) on the inaugural episode of Season 18!!

Ok ok ok, what the heck are "anime tourists"??? For starters, it's not referring to people who travel to Japan just for the anime culture. This term is not new to the anime community nor is the issue that stems from "anime tourism," but with the boom of content creators since the pandemic and short-form media being the most popular to consume, it's not surprise why some in the community are getting a bit overwhelmed. Frankfurtter and MagicallyAverage provide their two cents on the topic in this week's episode, covering everything from the online clash of anime content creators to dissecting the real reason why people despise anime tourists.

There's always been something special about seeing an anime in theater. For Western audiences, it was a treasure getting the chance to see your favorite series shine on the silver screen if only for a limited time. Today, it seems like anime movies are becoming more and more common, so much so that some series are using them as finales for the show! Frankfurtter and MagicallyAverage spend the episode dissecting anime films and highlighting why they are more excited for the Chainsaw Man: The Movie - Reze Arc than the remainder of the Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Arc ones. Strap in, this is gonna be a wild episode this week!
