"Hey, let's use AI to dub an anime. What could wrong???" EVERYTHING!!! EVERYTHING CAN GO WRONG!!! Sorry, sorry... I'm just...this was bad. So, if you haven't heard or had the displeasure of watching while it was still up, Amazon Prime decided to use AI dubbing for multiple anime series on its site, including beloved shows like Banana Fish and No Game, No Life. And let me tell you...it was bad. Bad bad. Like, utterly disgraceful level of bad. IT WAS BAD! And while we would rather just wipe our brains and forget it ever happened, instead, Frankfurtter and MagicallyAverage decided to talk about the backlash Amazon received from fans (rightfully so) and what this could mean for the future anime dubbing. But seriously though...BAD! ಠ﹏ಠ

The recent vocal outburst from the anime community over the poor animation quality in One-Punch Man Season 3 certainly struck a chord within the anime industry. Fans taking their frustration online to negatively rate each episode sparked a rebuttal from animators in the industry. With more negative backlash coming from One-Punch Man, anime fans may begin to lose hope that --- OMG HAVE YOU SEEN THE NEW FRIEREN TRAILER?!? WOAH, WITCH HAT ATELIER JUST CAME OUT WITH THEIR TRAILER TOO!! OH I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT SEASON OF JJK!!! And just like that, *poof*, all of the negative comments disappear. While it's no surprise why fans are displeased with latest season of One-Punch Man, the constant influx of new trailers, new release announcements, and anticipation for upcoming seasons of anime makes it easy for fans to simply forget all their previous woes! Frankfurtter and MagicallyAverage breakdown the One-Punch Man hate and discuss some of the larger issues at play within the anime community and industry.

It was only a matter of time until this happened... Well, let's just get it out of the way. Frankfurtter and MagicallyAverage take a look at the 2025 anime schedule and give their honest predictions for a handful of categories in this year's Crunchyroll Anime Awards. They've been beaten and bruised, but even with all hope lost, the BakaBois still come back each year to give their hot takes for the upcoming award season. How will this year fare to previous ones? And do they think there will be any surprise upsets??? Spoiler alert.... no. ￣へ￣

Welcome back, lost souls, to another exciting episode of Otaku Time Machine! This week, our lovable time-traveling machine decided to veer a little off course and away from our classic anime series.

Find yourself a nice hot cocoa, a warm blanket, and maybe even some potatoes and molasses, as we soar into the spooky-season show of Over the Garden Wall!

*** SPOILERS AHEAD***

The time has come. The score will be settled. The champion will finally be crowned. We are of course talking about the powerhouse anime films from 2025: Demon Slayer Infinity Castle Arc pt. 1 and Chainsaw Man The Movie: Reze Arc. These two films alone carried the weight of the box offices around the world, amassing more than $750M globally so far. There is not argument that both anime films made quite the splash in theaters. But which really came out on top? Frankfurtter and MagicallyAverage conclude their debate on this topic and give their final thoughts on both films. Let final battle commence!!
