We debate (Shonen Showdown style!) which new album is better, Kanye's "Donda" or Drake's "Certified Lover Boy". The highlights (..and the lowlights) of each album, back stories, theories, beefs, then ultimately conclude as to which comes out on top for us! 

I had the honour of interviewing my guest who is the creator of Shonen Showdown, Rob (NY, US), on how his channel got its massive following of from a passionate community discussing Shonen Anime came about. He talks about the mentality and research that comes with preparing for each debate, the influences he took from basketball and more. 

... as for me, I get to cover all my favourite topics all in one episode. BASKETBALL, ANIME, and MUSIC. So you know I was extra on this haha

I've been having only long-time anime heads on the show, so I thought we'd try something different and invite one who just recently jumped into the platform! Kathy, Digitial/sketch artist and Gothic cat lover, has been more of a Marvel & DC universe fan her whole life. We talk about her first impressions and her new found love with anime after seeing shows like Food Wars, HxH and One Piece, as well as how it compares to the comic world. 

We also talk about her lifestyle as a Goth and how the community is in reality despite how people outside people think it's all blood sacrifices and rituals!
