Jacki Jing has lived out many of our dreams. A former D1 Athlete, Emmy Nominated news anchor, gaming and anime event host, and up and coming actress.

The spotlight is always bright, but what are the shadows that we don't see in my of our aspired industries? What is it about One Piece, and anime in general that causes us to so deeply connect with the art form and others in general? What is the impact of having a family member abusing substances, and how can we help them?

Stick around to hear about Jacki's origins with anime starting alongside her brother, Boa Hancock inspiring Jacki to be more confident and step into who she is, and the heartfelt and tear jerking connection that her and Preston have...

As sad as it is, everything must come to an end. This is the SEASON FINALE of Life With Anime Podcast Season 2. Lets take a stroll down memory lane.

We brought along ShonenShowdown & ImTracyAllen to talk about how anime has been impacting their lives lately, share their One Piece HOT TAKES, and rank some of the biggest FRAUDS in all of anime. Not an episode you want to miss.

Another round of ANIME HOT TAKES from you guys. You were all definitely on your A-Game. From calling Itachi weak, to saying that JuJutsu Kaisen (JJK) and One Piece boring. These were fun ones to read and react to.

The NEPHEWS SSBlayze and Nike Finesse pulled up and joined us for an in-person interview during our trip to Momocon. If you want to die laughing while still discussing anime, videogames, music, and their content journey, then i promise that this is an episode that you don't want to miss.

You guys definitely gave us your HOTTEST Anime HOT TAKES!! A lot of you have some serious explaining to do. Is Gojo the strongest anime character of all time? Are Frieren and Fullmetal Alchemist both extremely boring? Did Eren truly do nothing wrong?

We are back again, with another Anime Podcast Collab! This time we have the one and only Shmeem, host of Gotta Hate 'Em Podcast. Hear from him as he shares his journey of dropping everything and starting the podcast with his friends. We talk about Shmeem, and how his older siblings are the reason for his love of anime today. Stick around and you are in for a special ANIME HOT TAKE! Hint, it has to do with the great Yusuke Urameshi!

We had the pleasure of the real life Nami joining as our next special guest. In all seriousness, Thousand Hunny is a cosplayer who has blown up tremendously over the recent months, and who has build a grand and loyal community. Come listen as we talk about Hunny's journey from the library to anime conventions, her unbridled love for Sanji, and the evolution of her favorite anime and Yuri (Girl Love) manga collection.

After rewatching all 24 episodes in 36 hours, we completed a tier list and ranked every major character in the series! Who has the biggest ego?! Who has had a bigger impact in the series?! Only a TRUE EGOIST has what it takes to sit at the top of Blue Lock!
