Somehow, 2021 has been speeding right along, and the Spring season of anime is already upon us. Will we ever have time to catch up?! We discuss some first episode impressions for a few shows that grabbed our attention and some that...well, sometimes you need a good dumpster fire show. We also relive some nostalgic memories, while Steve discovers that he may be sitting on a Holographic Charizard goldmine.

We talk a lot about what we've been watching here on Weeb Weekly, but anime is more than just tv. There are plenty of video games based on beloved anime properties, and this week we decided to talk about the good, the bad, and the...just plain strange. Never stop being Eva, Eva. Plus, the return of our Nick Tok Report and the pure befuddlement this week's Wheel of Fate assignment left us in. If you'd like to be a part of the show, write in to [email protected]!

Anime titles used to be simple: Cowboy Bebop, Dragonball Z, Naruto. In recent years, though, these names have grown ever longer, to the point of absurdity (here's looking at you "Do You Love Your Mom and Her Two-Hit Multi-Target Attacks?"). This week, we dive into some of the craziest titles we could find and even make up some of our own. Plus, Joe defies the Wheel of Fate, and we have a special guest to discuss what he's been scrolling through in the world of Anime Tiktok.

Believe the hype! Shaman King is coming back, and it's poised to be better than ever. This raises the question: are there any other anime that deserve a from-the-ground-up remake? We also discuss Studio Ghibli making the jump to the stage and our thoughts on the controversial second season of The Promised Neverland.

Japan is top of the list to travel to if you love all things anime and manga. Well, thankfully, we've both been, and news of how far Japanese tourism has fallen in the past year sparks some nostalgic reminiscing for the both of us. The Crunchyroll Anime Awards also happened this past week, and we, of course, have some takes. If you'd like to be part of the show, feel free to reach out to [email protected]!

It's that time of the year, and love is in the air. There are oh so many memorable relationships throughout the years of anime, and this week, we break them all down for you. Plus, Steve finally admits that he might like some Fate, and Joe's mind slides deeper down the Evangelion conspiracy rabbit hole. Where is TOJI?!

There are all sorts of genres in anime: you got your shonen for action and shojo for romance, but the most controversial genre of all is the world-hopping isekai. We dive deep into the shows people would classify as isekai, and somehow...the answers will surprise you. Joe has been connecting the dots on more conspiracy theories, while Steve contemplates putting off Demon Slayer yet again for another long-running show.

This week, we finally take a deep dive into why Demon Slayer has literally just crushed every other property for the last year. Like, not even close. Steve also tries his best to remain wholesome and uncorrupted as Joe describes the dark corners of Anime and Manga he traveled to in the past 7 days. Stay strong Steve, just think of Itsuki!
