Ah, yes. The start of Spring. A time where the weather begins to warm and the snow starts to melt. A time where nature starts it cycle of rebirth, with flowers beginning to bloom and buds growing on trees. A time where you decide to still just stay inside, cuddle up in a blanket, and continue watching anime. Yeah, yeah that sounds better. And hey, what perfect timing! Frankfurtter and MagicallyAverage are previewing the upcoming Spring Anime season!! So, rather than doing some Spring cleaning or *bleh* going outside ⊙﹏⊙∥ come join the bakabois as they take a look at some upcoming and returning anime series!

Watchlist piling up? Can't decide which new series to start? Why not rewatch an anime you've already seen 14,836 times instead?? This week, Frankfurtter and MagicallyAverage talk about their favorite anime series to binge over and over and over again. The bakabois also talk about some of their favorite repeat movies as well (spoiler alert, not all of them are anime ╮(╯-╰)╭ ). So, join in for this week's new episode! Or, wait, actually, maybe just relisten to some of our older stuff and come back to this one. That seems more "on theme" for this week.

When building out your manga library, it's important you remember this one piece of advice: nothing is sentimental, so sell it for a profit. What? What, you thought I would give you some uplifting wisdom about how best to collect series or where to spot deals? No no no. Building out your manga collection isn't about enjoying the series you love or anything of the sort. It's about profiting off of series that go out-of-print or are rare to find, forcing those who desperately want to enjoy them to take a second mortgage on someone else's home just to afford them. A monster, you say? Well, if you want the entire Monster series it'll be $750! Satire aside, Frankfurtter and MagicallyAverage talk about those hard-to-find manga series and debate which ones deserve a reprinting. With series coming back as Omnibuses, Perfect editions, and Deluxe editions, its only a matter of time until the scalpers' lose on their bets. I'm looking at you, guy who's selling the complete Mushishi manga set for $1,100...

You ever a friend, a co-worker, or just some random person on the street tell you that you HAVE to watch this show cause it's, like, the greatest thing ever?! And you keep getting told over, and over, AND OVER again that you just need to sit down and watch it, so you go "FINE! OK! Stop following me home at night and berating me about this show. I'll watch it! Jeez.." So you watch it, and after ALLLL that talk about how incredible the show is, you go "...this is garbage..." Sound familiar? Yeah, we've all been there. This episode is dedicated to those people who suffered through a recommended anime because they were told it would change their world. But all it changed was your perception of that person... Plus, the BakaBois will discuss how bad dubs could be detrimental to an anime's viewership! JOIN THE CHAOS!!

Everything must come to an end at some point. For manga, it can happen after many years of success or in the blink of a fart. Today, new Shonen series seem to come and go about as quick as a TikTok trend. Whenever you get attached to a new series, BAM, its axed for no good reason. Its hard to get attached to anything in fear of it quickly leaving you to read yet another boring romcom instead. So, the Baka Bois had enough and decided to create their own, new Shonen series! Frankfurtter and MagicallyAverage take a stab at drafting their perfect Shonen series that will take the manga world by storm. How good are their ideas, and will someone have a breakdown mid-episode? (Spoiler: Yes, and it was Frankfurtter)
