In this episode, we dive into the rise of Gachiakuta overtaking Solo Leveling and what that means for the dark fantasy wave. We break down Netflix’s big Anime NYC drops (Blue Eye Samurai S2, Devil May Cry S2, Record of Ragnarok III) and tackle the AI controversy around Sekiro: No Defeat. Then we get real with thought-provoking takes: are cliffhanger endings cheap or clever, is nostalgia powering classics or blocking new originals, and is anime oversaturated—or are fans just spoiled for choice? We close with an honest look at representation in anime and how Black and global fans are reshaping the culture.
