  • S2022E02 Will Attack on Titan's Ending Be ANIME-ORIGINAL??

    • January 29, 2022

    The final season of Attack on Titan continues making waves weekly in the anime community, and today I'm discussing the possibility of it going ANIME-ORIGINAL... spoiler-free, of course. Last April, the AOT manga community was divided over the last chapter and how the series ended. Now, it's up to MAPPA to decide the direction of the series; what will they do?? Let's talk about it.

  • S2022E03 How Attack on Titan Wrote the Perfect Plot Twist

    • February 8, 2022

    The final season of Attack on Titan brought the show's BIGGEST PLOT TWIST YET: Eren manipulated EVERYTHING.

And today I'm breaking down what makes this scene so incredibly intense, emotional, and utterly surprising. Check it out!

  • S2022E04 The Anime Studio That Never Fails

    • March 2, 2022

    Demon Slayer Season 2 finished its run a couple weeks ago and absolutely stunned the anime community once again, and a big part of that is ALWAYS attributed to the absolutely jaw-dropping, seizure-inducing (in a good way), eye candy animation that Ufotable continues to deliver. Today I'm talking about a number of Ufotable's works and their rise to fame over the past decade, in a weird combination of anime analysis and historical retelling. I have no idea what I'm doing honestly, but I hope it's good.

  • S2022E05 The Manhwa With Limitless Potential

    • April 13, 2022

    • June 15, 2022

    20th Century Boys is by no means a recent manga release; but with a timeless villain and an endless list of themes that Naoki Urasawa dives into through this story, it is a manga that will never get old. Join me today as I discuss the intricacies of the dynamic between Kenji & Friend, my biggest takeaway, and an all-around solid rant about a manga that impressed me, beginning to end.

  • S2022E10 Pluto: Naoki Urasawa's Dark Reimagining of Astro Boy

    • August 17, 2022

    Pluto is one of Naoki Urasawa's lesser known works, but arguably one of his most notable at the same time. Based on Tezuka Osamu's Astro Boy, Urasawa's dark take on one of the world's most beloved childhood heroes is both interesting and thought-provoking. Join me as I try to understand Pluto, which has joined the ranks of Monster and 20th Century Boys for me as one of my favorite manga ever.

    • August 25, 2022

Going into manga like Berserk, Vinland Saga, and even anime like Steins; Gate, come listen!

    Made in Abyss is one of the most beautiful anime out there, and it rightfully gets this recognition. Today I'm talking about what I find so beautiful and immersive about the world of Made in Abyss, and just how it crafted one of the most curious and inventive worlds in all of anime!

  • S2023E03 Conquering the Past: Kingdom's Epic War Odyssey

    • June 27, 2023

    Kingdom does not receive the widespread love that it DESERVES. This manga is one of the greatest odyssey's to be written, and today I'm exploring what I love about this series and what truly makes it one of Shounen Jump's most complex (and, deservedly, acclaimed) series to date. Kingdom is NOT a series you want to miss - jump in and listen to what I've got to say, if you'd like.

  • S2023E05 This Zombie Anime is Too Realistic

    • August 28, 2023

    Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead is one of the most popular airing shows at the moment, and I think a lot of that can be attributed to just how relatable they make it: a zombie apocalypse means... I don't have work tomorrow!? Come listen as I talk about working conditions in Japan, why the first episode of Zom 100 does such an incredible job of depicting it and reeling us into it, and what it tells us about real freedom.
