Suicide Squad? Dope. Isekai? Dope. Suicide Squad Isekai? NOPE.

We watched the first 4 episodes and gave an honest of a reaction as we could. We keep it light from a spoiler perspective, so you can still watch this review without feeling like you need to watch the show first.

It was a miss for many reasons, with few redeemable qualities in sight. We break those down in this video with the good, bad, and the ugly.

This week, we're discussing Defining Peak Moments in Anime; or at least our favorite ones. These are the scenes that left us speechless, crazy battles worth rewatching, and the moments that stuck with us far after they were over.

What really is Peak? Is that phrase thrown around willy-nilly? Usually it’s the climax, but honestly not always. It could be huge moments of character development, or crazy pay-offs to long term story telling.

Do you agree with our picks? What moments really made you step back and think DAMN - this is peak? Let us know in the discord or YouTube!

This week, we’re diving into the almost indescribable concept of auras. Who has the best kind, and who’s lackin’? What makes a character stand out? Is it their presence, their charisma, or something more intangible?

In this episode, we break down what we mean by "aura" and discuss characters who are oozing with it—and those who don't. From the commanding presence of characters you just can’t help but to feel, to the more dweeby characters who just don’t have that it factor.

Who do you think has the most aura in anime? Do you agree with our picks? Let us know in the comments and share your thoughts because we know there’s probably a ton of obvious picks we missed out on.

New generation anime is dope, but does it have enough soul? Do you feel deeply connected to these characters and their arcs, or do you just enjoy the concept, artwork, and fight scenes?

In this episode, we’re diving into the world of SOUL within Anime. We have a hunch that older generation anime had a lot more soul, and we're breaking down why that is. We’ll be naming examples of both soulful and soulless anime along the way.

Urban Dictionary describes soulless as: Cold, hard, cruel; lacking sensitivity or the capacity for deep feeling. We explore this definition and how it applies to anime across different generations.

Let us know how ya'll are feeling about these picks on YouTube, Insta, or our Discord. There's probably plenty we left out!

This episode Includes: Cowboy Bebop, Jujutsu Kaisen, MHA, My Hero Academia, Attack On Titan, Jujutsu Kaisen, Dragon Ball Z, DBZ, Dragon Ball Super, Demon Slayer, Solo Leveling, Rent-a-Girlfriend, Chainsaw Man, Naruto

How would you improve Death Note? It's no secret that the series took a notable dip between seasons 1 and 2—but why exactly? Was it the introduction of Near and Mello? Not enough action?

In this episode, we tackle these questions and more in one of our Improvement Tapes. We take turns discussing where we think Death Note faltered and how we’d make it better. From character development to plot tweaks, we've got a few ideas.

How you feeling about these picks?? Let us know on the YouTube or the Discord - We'd love to hear your thoughts!
