Not Actually Film Critics

 This week on NAFC, the crew's Clair Obscur obsession rolls on—Gibbs is nearing the end of Act 2, so things get a bit spoiler-y (you've been warned). Mox shares his thoughts on Ballerina, the latest John Wick spin-off, and whether it keeps up the franchise's momentum or stumbles in heels. Izzy gives Doom: The Dark Ages a test run and confirms it's exactly the kind of rage-fueled chaos you'd expect. The gang also gives a quick review of A24's Death of a Unicorn—yes, it's as weird as it sounds—and talks about what stood out in the Summer Game Fest 2025 trailers. Finally, they dive into the heartfelt, bittersweet world of Robot Dreams (2023) for this week's movie pick. Bring tissues and maybe a hug. Support us on Patreon!

This week on NAFC, the obsession with Clair Obscur has officially infected the entire crew—yes, even Gibbs. The gang carefully tiptoes around spoilers while still managing to gush about mechanics, builds, and the ever-present existential dread. Izzy and Mox recount their experience watching Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning, where Tom Cruise attempts to end himself in increasingly elaborate ways. Again. They also touch on the latest episodes of Demon Slayer (Yaiba) and a few other anime on their radar before diving into the creature-feature chaos that is Critters (1986)—because nothing says “movie night” like tiny rolling murderballs from space. Support us on Patreon!

The gang's (mostly) back together—Zea's out, but the boys are locked in and ready to go. First up: a spoiler-free review of the latest hotness, Clair Obscur. They break down the mechanics, the aesthetics, and, of course, sprinkle in a few complaints. Merde indeed. Izzy checks in with his ongoing anime binge, and the team takes a detour to collectively groan at A Minecraft Movie, which somehow continues to print money despite everything. Finally, the crew dives into Izzy's pick for the week: Inhuman Kiss (2019). Get ready for blood, folklore, and feelings—lots of feelings. Support us on Patreon!

It's a special bonus episode of NAFC, recorded live in Hong Kong with just Izzy and Mox holding it down while Gibbs and Zea are MIA. Izzy's flown halfway across the world and brought nothing but jet lag and hot takes. The two dive into the latest standings in the NAFC Fantasy Movie League, talk plenty of smack about movies and games, and basically turn the whole episode into a cross-continental catch-up. Mox gives his impressions of Clair Obscur, while Izzy shares thoughts on Blue Giant and his comfort rewatch of Howl's Moving Castle. There's also some bonus travel stories sprinkled in—because of course there are. Just two guys talking trash, jazz, and Ghibli—what more do you want? Support us on Patreon!

This week on NAFC, we wrap up the Companion theme with a review of Companion (2025)—and yes, it gets weird. Zea kicks things off with a truly unhinged tangent about eel porn (don't ask, just listen). Mox and Izzy share their initial thoughts on Lazarus, and whether the hype around the anime's god-tier production team holds up. Meanwhile, Minecraft is absolutely dominating the box office as Mox celebrates his $1.5 million boost in the 2025 Fantasy Movie League. It's chaos, it's rarely educational, and somehow, we still manage to review a movie. Welcome back to NAFC. Support us on Patreon!

This week on NAFC, Zea opens the episode with her surprisingly practical tips on how to get rid of an earworm. She and Gibbs have been bonding over Cult of the Lamb, building cute little cults and sacrificing followers like it's therapy. Meanwhile, Mox is down for the count with the flu and hasn't done much besides cough and maybe question reality. The crew wraps it up with their latest pick for the Auto-Erotica theme: Electric Dreams. Expect synths, romance, sentient computers, and the usual NAFC blend of sarcasm, overanalysis, and unexpected feels. Support us on Patreon!

This week on NAFC, Mox and Izzy kick things off with a full deep dive into the Zenshu finale—character arcs, emotional wreckage, and all the absurd moments that somehow still hit way too hard. Zea returns with her first impressions of Assassin's Creed Shadows, weighing in on stealth, samurai, and whether this is the shakeup the series desperately needed—or just more parkour déjà vu. Then it's time for a brand-new movie theme: Auto-Erotica. And what better way to kick it off than with Titane—a wild, body-horror fever dream about cars, identity, and… yeah, we'll just let you listen. Buckle up. This one's weird. Support us on Patreon!

Bonus episode time! It's just Mox and Izzy this week, and they're going full spiral over the Severance Season 2 finale. HUGE SPOILERS AHEAD. Seriously, if you're not caught up, turn back now. The duo unpacks every twist, betrayal, and brain-melting reveal from the finale. Expect wild theories, emotional damage, and the kind of deep-dive obsession only Severance could inspire. Whether you're still processing or ready to rewatch the whole season with new eyes, this is the breakdown you didn't know you needed. Support us on Patreon!

Zea's out this week, but the rest of the NAFC crew is here to pick up the chaos. Gibbs shares his thoughts on the Severance finale (no spoilers… maybe), and gives a shoutout to the creepy slow-burn vibes of The Roottrees Are Dead. Izzy vents about his ongoing frustrations with Dragon Age: Inquisition, because nothing says fun like bad pacing and clunky mechanics. Meanwhile, Mox boots up Robocop: Rogue City and is already knee-deep in justice and cybernetic mayhem. To wrap things up, the gang dives into their final pick for the WTF Did I Just Watch theme with Mad God—a grotesque, stop-motion fever dream that left them all a little disturbed and very confused. Perfect way to close out the theme. Support us on Patreon!

SPOILER WARNING! The first 45 minutes of this episode are a deep dive into the latest Severance episode, with the crew dissecting every twist, turn, and mind-breaking moment. If you're not caught up, you might want to skip ahead—or just embrace the spoilers. Outside of Severance-induced existential spirals, Mox takes a trip back to early 2000s sci-fi with Farscape, while Izzy finally wraps up Kingdom Come: Deliverance and jumps straight into Dragon Age: Inquisition, because medieval RPG suffering is apparently a lifestyle. Finally, it's time for Zea's movie pick in the WTF Did I Just Watch theme: Swiss Army Man. The crew unpacks this absurd, hilarious, and oddly emotional fever dream of a film, complete with farting corpses and unexpected life lessons. Support us on Patreon!

Izzy and Mox kick things off early with a deep dive into Zenshu, Medalist, and the latest mind-bending episode of Severance. Zea jumps in mid-conversation to share where she's at in her Severance binge, as the crew debates how much existential dread is too much. Izzy also gives his take on Invincible Season 3, while Mox dives into Hades 2 and whether it's living up to the hype. Meanwhile, Gibbs unknowingly walks into an ambush as his wife and childhood friends throw him under the bus for being way too trusting of people—leading to some truly questionable (and hilarious) life stories. Finally, the crew tackles Suspiria for their WTF Did I Just Watch theme. Expect confusion, horror, and the usual NAFC chaos as they try to make sense of this fever dream of a film. Support us on Patreon!

This week on NAFC, Izzy dives into Medalist and Flower and Asura before taking a detour into the brutal, historically immersive world of Kingdom Come: Deliverance. Expect tales of medieval hardship, poor decision-making, and questionable combat skills. Zea finally finishes the first season of Severance, and the crew eagerly waits to see if she's fully descended into existential despair. Meanwhile, Mox shares his thoughts on The Gorge, breaking down its action, style, and whether it's worth the watch. Finally, they wrap up with a deep dive into Rubber (2010), the absurd cult classic about a killer tire with psychic powers. Yes, you read that right. Things are about to get weird. Support us on Patreon!

This week on NAFC, Izzy and Mox share their thoughts on The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep—does it do the franchise justice, or is it just another attempt to keep the hype alive? Meanwhile, Mox takes a deep dive into NeZha 2 to see if it actually lives up to the buzz or if it's all just flashy animation with no soul. The gang also gets into a discussion about cutting-edge sci-fi tech that's happening right now—because the future is here, and we're probably still not ready for it. Finally, they close out the Dafoe Show theme with Nightmare Alley, breaking down its noir aesthetic, psychological tension, and, of course, Willem Dafoe doing what he does best: being completely mesmerizing. Support us on Patreon!

This week on NAFC, Zea finally starts watching Severance, and the gang is eager to see how long it takes before she spirals into existential dread. Meanwhile, Mox's PC decided to betray him, sending him on a tech-fueled adventure to get it back up and running. He also catches up on the latest Captain America news and shares his thoughts on the state of the MCU. Izzy, always up to something weird, is now trying to convert his stationary bike into a power generator (because why not?) and recommends Makeine: Too Many Losing Heroines to anyone who loves an underdog story. Gibbs takes a step back in time with The Jerk and Conclave, bringing his usual offbeat commentary to the mix. Finally, the crew jumps into Shadow of the Vampire as part of their ongoing Dafoe Show theme, diving deep into Willem Dafoe's unsettling, legendary performance. Support us on Patreon!

This week on NAFC, the gang takes a cringe-filled trip down memory lane, revisiting middle and high school memories—specifically, the awkward realities of puberty and the extreme measures they took to hide their, uh, magazine clippings. Expect plenty of secondhand embarrassment and probably a few confessions no one asked for. Mox and Izzy then do a quick review of Memoir of a Snail, breaking down its charm before the crew dives headfirst into the absolute chaos that is David Lynch's Wild at Heart. Things get weird, things get philosophical, and by the end of it, everyone's questioning their own sanity. Just another day at NAFC! Support us on Patreon!

This week on NAFC, Zea's recording might be corrupted, but trust us—she was definitely here, adding her usual flair even through the glitches. Mox kicks things off by dissecting every wild action sequence in the latest season of Castlevania Nocturne, then sharply contrasts it with the massive letdown that was the new Legend of the Condor Heroes. And because he can't resist a trip down memory lane, he also drops some nostalgic thoughts on the indie classic Recettear. Meanwhile, Izzy, still hobbling around from his leg injury, is wading through his never-ending movie and game backlog. He's deep into Undying—so engrossing he can't seem to put it down—and he throws in his takes on Paddington and Smile 2. Gibbs, ever the oddball, shares his quirky viewing experience of Jeopardy, where one contestant's last name left him uncomfortably unsettled. And just when you thought things couldn't get any more offbeat, the crew jumps headfirst into a review of Nosferatu. Expect plenty of sharp insights, awkward pauses, and the kind of banter that only NAFC can deliver. Support us on Patreon!

Zea's finally back, and she's got fresh updates on her bearded dragon—yes, Ashley-Clawdia Flameheart is still living her best life. Izzy declares that this season's Isekai (Red Ranger and Zenshu) is actually good for once, shocking everyone who's kept up with his usual Isekai rants. Mox nerds out over the latest season of Severance and indulges in a Paddington Bear marathon to gear up for the newest film installment. Meanwhile, Gibbs is off in the corner playing with stuffed animals, because… why not? Before jumping into the final pick for their “It's a Mystery” theme, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005), Zea shares her (often blunt) thoughts and scores on The Gift and Heretic, which she missed out on. The result is a chaotic but oddly satisfying episode that pretty much sums up NAFC in a nutshell. Support us on Patreon!

The gang review Heretic Support us on Patreon!

This week on NAFC, the chaos of 2025 continues. Izzy shares what it's been like living so close to the LA fires, while Mox battles the flu. Gibbs, on the other hand, is living his best life with a shiny new ultra-wide gaming monitor, perfect for indulging in Minesweeper and obsessively tweaking character creators. He also checks out the Netflix anime Orb and gives his initial thoughts. The crew kicks things off with a quick review of the Criterion Collection 2024 movie Flow, but the main event is a deep dive into the 2015 thriller The Gift. Expect a long discussion filled with sharp takes, surprising insights, and, of course, plenty of the usual NAFC humor. Support us on Patreon!

It's the first NAFC episode of 2025, and we're starting the year strong—or at least fumigated. Zea's been inhaling paint thinner fumes all day while cleaning a tank for her bearded dragon, Ashley-Clawdia Flameheart, which might explain her quick exit mid-episode. Gibbs, as usual, had nothing exciting to share (classic Gibbs). Mox wraps up Metaphor: Refantazio and sets his sights on Guardians of the Galaxy, while Izzy falls victim to yet another rogue-like deckbuilder with Banners of Ruin. The crew then dives into a review of the Criterion Collection classic, Blow Out, unpacking its twists and turns before Zea taps out due to her inevitable headache. It's a chaotic yet oddly on-brand start to the year! Support us on Patreon!

Episode Description: Izzy and Mox wrap up the year with a snarky and insightful review of the entertainment industry's biggest moments in 2024. From box office surprises to a countdown of this year's top money-makers, they've got all the juicy details. Izzy shares his thoughts on Red One and Carry-On, while the duo speculates (and bickers) over which 2025 films will rake in the big bucks, kicking off NAFC's first-ever Fantasy Movie League—because predicting blockbusters is way more fun than sticking to resolutions.

It's our final NAFC episode of the year, and the crew is ready to kiss 2024 goodbye—while also clinging to some of its highlights. They break down their favorite anime of the year in a whirlwind round-up, all while making slightly questionable jokes about which shows they actually finished. Of course, 2025 is on the horizon, so the discussion naturally turns to what they're most excited about—Final Fantasy Tifa mods, anyone? Because nothing says “fresh year” like questionable gaming add-ons. But it's not all snark and cynicism this time. They're keeping it (almost) wholesome as they wrap up the show with a review of The Wiz, proving there's room for both modern gaming chaos and classic movie musicals in this final celebration of 2024. If you thought they couldn't juggle that many topics in one episode, you clearly haven't been listening to NAFC long enough. See you in 2025! Support us on Patreon!

After a four-week hiatus—thanks a lot, Gibbs—we're back on NAFC! The gang had a mysterious “lost episode,” so brace yourselves for a slightly annoyed (but mostly amused) crew returning to form. They dive headfirst into Amazon's Secret Level, dissecting what makes this show such a big deal for gamers and why it may—or may not—deserve the hype. Then it's on to the Video Game Awards 2024, where the crew picks apart nominations, winners, losers, and those awkward acceptance speeches. Finally, the team jumps into their “second” pick for the Found Family theme: The Red Turtle. Expect a thoughtful review that attempts to blend the heartfelt nature of the movie with the crew's usual brand of sarcasm and offbeat commentary. It's good to be back! Support us on Patreon!

Mox, Gibbs, and Izzy dive deep into Arcane in its entirety. Support us on Patreon!

In this episode of NAFC, Mox goes on a cinematic binge, watching three movies in one day. He shares his thoughts on Gladiator 2 and Venom: The Last Dance, offering his trademark hot takes. Izzy, on the other hand, has been hooked on Shogun Showdown, and the group dives into what makes the game so addictive. They also break down the Paul vs Tyson event streaming on Netflix—because, of course, that's a thing now. Gibbs wraps up the season of The Penguin and absolutely loves it. This sparks a group discussion on the possibility of a continued shared TV and movie universe for Batman and The Penguin. Finally, the crew closes out the episode with a deep dive into their review of The Hallow. Expect plenty of laughs, debates, and maybe even a scare or two! Support us on Patreon!

In this episode, Izzy jumps into “Culinary Class Wars”. Gibbs and Zea are back on their perpetual rewatch of The Emperor's New Groove, because apparently, some movies just age like fine wine... or at least, like Kronk. Of course, this somehow spirals into everyone revealing their most-rewatched guilty pleasures, which brings us gems like We Sing in Sillyville (yes, it was Zea), and George of the Jungle – Izzy's “cinematic masterpiece.” Then, for a cringe-tinged adventure, the crew attempts Ghost Dad with Bill Cosby, making it a full 35 minutes before admitting defeat. Was it even worth it? Probably not, but it's all for the cause, right? Wrap it up with the final installment of the theme with Oddity. Support us on Patreon!

This week on NAFC, Izzy is deep into the post-endgame of Tales of Arise and has taken his Japanese learning journey to new heights with Ouran High School Host Club—his first step into the shoujo world, with possibly more to come. Mox, meanwhile, is splitting his time between Sultan's Game and The Evil Within, diving into both strategy and horror. Zea and Gibbs are wrapping up Astro Bot and sharing their thoughts on the unsettling movie Smile (2022), just in time for Halloween. To round off the spooky season, the crew dives into their third pick in the TwentyTwentyFourror theme with The Substance (2024). Get ready for a blend of horror, anime insights, and gaming updates! Support us on Patreon!

This week on NAFC, the crew starts with a bizarre trend: kids on steroids and the rise of “looks maxing”—because apparently, the internet has officially lost it. Izzy recounts his own LASIK eye surgery experience, describing the trauma and horror that still haunts him today. Mox somehow convinced Gibbs and Zea to watch Culinary Class Wars, and now they're all brainstorming what a next season should look like. Izzy then dives into what makes Tales of Arise a standout in his gaming library, while Mox gives us the latest updates on his own video game journey. Finally, the crew closes out the episode with a deep dive into Alien: Rolumus, the latest installment in the Alien franchise for 2024. Expect laughs, strong opinions, and the usual chaos! Support us on Patreon!

This week, the gang shows their age with a nostalgic dive into classic FPS titles like *Golden Eye 007* and *Doom*. They attempt to piece together how shooters evolved from the good ol' PC days to the console dual-stick setup of today. Zea's on a high after beating *The Plucky Squire* and shares her thoughts on why games as a live service are a plague on the gaming industry. The crew also weighs in on the upcoming *Yakuza: Like a Dragon* TV adaptation, while Gibbs argues that HBO Max's *The Penguin* is exactly what the DC Universe needed. They also tackle whether Google's search AI is a step in the right direction or a bad omen for the future, and discuss the strange findings from a Nintendo leak (hint: a lot of weird Pokémon stuff). Mox wraps things up with some anime and Netflix recommendations: the movie *Look Back 2024* and the quirky series *Culinary Class Wars*. Finally, they dive into a review of *Strange Darling 2024*. Support us on Patreon!

Meanwhile, Izzy's been busy crying his eyes out over The Wild Robot—and yes, it's as emotional as it sounds. Zea's been watching The Amazing Digital Circus on Netflix, and speaking of Netflix, they're dropping anime bangers left and right, with a Ranma 1/2 reboot and Orb: On the Movements of the Earth on the horizon. To close things out, the crew dives into Borderlands 2024 as they wrap up their theme on video game adaptations. Expect some final thoughts, laughs, and plenty of jabs as they bring this theme to a close! Support us on Patreon!

In this episode of NAFC, Zea gets into her latest gaming adventures with The Plucky Squire and AstroBot, bringing whimsy to the forefront. Izzy, fresh from a mad dash out of a Vietnamese wedding, shares his first impressions of Tales of Arise. Meanwhile, Mox dives into a thoughtful review of The Wild Robot, adding a literary twist to the mix. Gibbs takes a moment to air his grievances—this time, it's all about white men in fedoras. And to top it all off, the crew wraps up with a heartfelt review of Gran Turismo and its unexpected emotional punch. Support us on Patreon!

Gibbs and Mox Hour ! Support us on Patreon!

After two weeks of blissful European adventure, Izzy is back to share some vacation highlights—expect castles, croissants, and maybe a questionable souvenir or two. Meanwhile, Mox gives an update on his progress with Black Myth: Wukong, and Gibbs… well, Gibbs didn't do much of anything the past two weeks, but hey, not everyone needs to be productive, right? Speaking of productivity, say goodbye to it entirely because Balatro just dropped on mobile, and Izzy is pretty sure he's doomed to endless hours of tapping and swiping. In a more serious tone, they dive into the ongoing Nintendo v. Pocket Pair lawsuit and share their thoughts on what this could mean for the gaming world. Finally, the crew tackles the second pick in their video game movie series: Alone in the Dark, directed by the notorious Uwe Boll. Spoiler alert: Whoever liked this movie is probably alone... in the dark.  Support us on Patreon!

This week on NAFC, Gibbs and Zea return with their adventures in Cat Quest 3, navigating the world of feline foes and fur-midable quests. But that's not all—Zea also takes us on a delightful journey through the whimsical game Thank Goodness You're Here!, where quirkiness meets charm in a way only she can describe. Izzy shares his quick thoughts on Inside Out 2, because what's a sequel without a little emotional rollercoaster? Meanwhile, the team takes a moment to discuss Sony's latest flop, Concord, and how it failed to take off in the gaming world. To wrap things up, the cast dives into Prince of Persia (2010) as the first pick in their new movie theme: Video Game Adaptations. Support us on Patreon!

This week on NAFC, the team dives into Amazon Prime's new animated video game anthology Secret Level and dream up some of the video games they'd love to see animated.  Izzy can't stop gushing about the Octopath Traveler series, and somehow, he's still not done. Meanwhile, Gibbs flexes his Duolingo muscles, proudly climbing the ranks of the Spanish leaderboard. The crew shares their thoughts on office pranks—are they harmless fun or just annoying?  In the gaming corner, Zea and Gibbs team up for some feline fun in Cat Quest 3, while Mox gets an early look at Black Myth Wukong and marvels at just how much power your rig will need to run it. On the movie front, Izzy shares his thoughts on Twisters 2024—apparently, a 75-inch TV just doesn't do it justice. Gibbs gives his take on the latest season of True Detective: Night Country. Then, they venture into darker territory with a quick, gory review of The Sadness (2021) before closing the episode with their final pick for the Liminal Spaces theme: 1408 (2007) Support us on Patreon!

In this episode of NAFC, the team takes a hilarious trip down memory lane, reminiscing about how the podcast got started during the pandemic—complete with a surprising connection to glory holes. Yeah, it's that kind of episode. The conversation quickly takes a left turn as they discuss the strange legal fine print of Disney Plus: Apparently, if you sign up, you can't sue them for wrongful death at their parks. From there, they pivot to the absurd idea that "AI" now stands for "All Indians." Yes, it's as wild as it sounds. On the gaming front, Baldur's Gate 3 snagged a Hugo Award, which has everyone buzzing. Izzy celebrates beating "Octopath Traveler 1" and is already diving into the sequel. Meanwhile, Gibbs shares his thoughts on "Furiosa," the latest installment in the Mad Max saga, and it sparks yet another conversation about whether anyone can be trusted to make reboots anymore. The team also takes a moment to discuss the surprising fact that Ms. Rachel is beating Disney at appealing to kids. It seems Disney is shifting its focus to Millennials now, leaving the younger generation to other influencers. And just when you thought the bumper sticker conversation was over, Gibbs has found yet another confusing one to share. Wrapping things up, the crew dives into their review of the movie Predestination, followed by a quick look at The Terror Live. Expect strong opinions and plenty of laughs as they dissect these films with their usual blend of sarcasm and wit. Support us on Patreon!

This week on NAFC, the crew dives into a mixed bag of topics that only they could somehow string together. Zea kicks things off with a look back at the parenting milestone that is teaching her kids to shower by themselves. It turns out, this is a bigger deal than anyone might think, and the conversation is as much about practicality as it is about the inevitable chaos that ensued. Next up, the gang jumps headfirst into the age-old debate: Anime vs. Cartoons. Where do you draw the line, and does it even matter? Expect some heated (and probably pointless) arguments as the crew tries to settle this once and for all—or at least until next week. On the movie front, Mox brings an update on the "Deadpool & Wolverine" box office numbers, which are still sky-high, much to no one's surprise. Meanwhile, the "Borderlands" movie has tanked, adding yet another title to the growing list of video game movies that just can't seem to get it right. The team even tallies up how many of these flops they've subjected themselves to, and let's just say, it's a depressing count.

Zea returns from her Eurotrip with tales of questionable cuisine and questionable fashion choices. Izzy's gaming prowess reaches new heights, or lows, depending on who you ask, as he turns a doctor's waiting room into a pixelated paradise.

Movies: Mox gives his two cents on the new "Deadpool & Wolverine" movie, because who doesn't want to see those two in action again? He also dives into the nostalgic reboot of "Twisters," because we all need more flying cows in our lives. Anime Corner: Izzy is back with his anime recommendations, featuring "I Parry Everything" and "Brave Bang Bravern." Plus, he helps a friend navigate the abyss of "Made in Abyss." Get ready for more snark, more sarcasm, and the kind of brutally honest reviews you've come to expect from the NAFC crew. Support us on Patreon!

Welcome back to another episode of NAFC! Brace yourselves, because this week, it's just Mox and Izzy running the show. Zea and Gibbs have decided to take a vacation (or perhaps an escape?), leaving our favorite duo to hold down the fort. For the entire month of July, it's just these two nerdy, jaded guys talking about all things geeky, with plenty of sarcastic banter to keep you entertained. In this episode, Mox and Izzy get back to the basics. They dive into their thoughts on the latest season of "The Bear" (spoiler alert: opinions will be flying). The two also unleash their inner weebs, passionately debating the merits of new anime like "Girls Band Cry," "DeDeDeDe," "Ultraman Rising," and "Suicide Squad ISEKAI." But that's not all! They also discuss their recent splurge on the Steam Summer Sale. Despite having a backlog of games so big it could rival the Great Wall, they couldn't resist adding more to their collection.

And let's not forget about "Abigail" and the latest season of anime releases—they're serving up opinions hotter than a fresh batch of ramen. But wait, there's more!
