September 27, 2021 54. My Hero Academia (S5 Part 2)
We review the second half of My Hero Academia (Boku no Hero Academia) season 5. There were a lot of ups and down throughout this season with some really intense and emotional moments. We discuss Hawks' undercover work, Endeavor's struggle to be a good father, and the craziness going on between the League of Villains and the Meta Liberation Front during My Villain Academia. We also speculate what's to come in season 6 and the World Heroes' Mission movie.⁠

September 20, 2021 53. Tokyo Revengers (Part 2)
We review the second half of Tokyo Revengers. It's been a wild ride so far, and apparently it's only getting started. This anime is deserving of its hype and we've been loving the emotional story full of unexpected turns. We dive into the Valhalla arc, animation issues, how we miss Hina, and, most importantly, that insane cliffhanger season finale. Join us!⁠

September 13, 2021 52. Anime Powers We Wish We Had in Real Life
We discuss anime powers we wish we had in real life. Wouldn't it be awesome to time travel? Or read people's minds? Or become a Pokemon trainer? We take a realistic look at anime powers and decide whether we'd want them in real life. As a bonus, we also share anime powers we would never want, because it might not be as cool as it looks in the show.

September 06, 2021 51. To Your Eternity (S1)
We review season one of To Your Eternity (Fumetsu no Anata e). Why didn't anyone warn us that we'd be on the verge of tears over and over again while watching this anime? With such a beautifully written story and incredible animation, we were hooked immediately. Though not every arc hit in quite the same way, we tackle each one in our discussion as well as speculate what may be in store for season two.⁠

August 09, 2021 47. Words Bubble Up Like Soda Pop
We review Words Bubble Up Like Soda Pop (Cider no You ni Kotoba ga Wakiagaru). Pleasant visuals and a simple theme of finding self-confidence, this boy-meets-girl film blends two love stories together for an easy watch. While the delivery of the story and characters may have been the weakest part, this movie still shines bright in art style and soundtrack. Join us as we discuss what the movie got right, and what it could have done better.⁠
