Thank you to all the fans that continue to listen, comment, support, and engage with our content and we got so much more to bring you in 2021.  2020 was a not the easiest year but Anime/Manga still came with the heat. Whether it was the anime debut of Jujutsu Kasien, the consistent quality of anime like Fire Force, or sleepers like Darwins Game and Talentless Nana. We all had our fair share of anime to watch and enjoy this year. And the manga got something to say also. Series like Black Clover, Attack on Titan, One Piece, Mash: Magic and Muscles,  and so much more have been providing amazing content this year as well. But with the good also comes the bad. Whether it's the disappointing season of Baki, or the Todoroki family and the pro heroes in My Hero Academia we have had our fair share of content that needs to get roasted. This year was a mixed bag but our Anime and Manga awards attempt to provide a safe space for everyone to vent about everything they loved and hated about 2020. Awards: Best New Anime (1:11), Big Guy(6:37), Biggest Flex(13:10), Slept On Anime/Manga(21:44), The Biggest Disappointment(25:34), Best Villain(31:56), Come Up Character(38:12), MVP of the Year(42:34), Goofy of the Year(47:58), Waifu of the Year(58:20), Put Some Respeck on that Drop(65:08), Anime/Manga of the Year(71:46) See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

But I can't talk about 2019 without talking about the Most Improved Character. Tomura Shigaraki.

It's been a crazy month with a lot to discuss from Naruto to My Hero Academia we got discussion topics for days.  Were also adding a new segment!

From One Piece to Demon Slayer to Food Wars. This episode is packed with some may interesting discussions we don't know where to start.  Well, we MUST talk about One Piece Chapter 957.  Finally, the Bounties have been revealed for Shanks and the other Yonko and we share our One Piece 957 Reaction as well as what we think is going to happen next after this monumental reveal.  All I know is that Shank's crew was revealed as one of the most balanced ones which means he probably has a decent set of strong crewmates.Outside of the One Piece 957 chapter Gramps has watched 2 seasons of Shokugeki No Soma aka Food Wars() and somebody sent him off trying to compare it to Toriko. So we had to do a little course correction. Player 5 has just entered the Elf arc of Black Clover in the Anime.He takes some time to share his thoughts and explain to the manga readers what the hell was going on in that Black Clover Elf arc.  We're also talking about some popular topics from our social media this month. Captain America vs All Might who's the better hero? The room is split on which one of these two (Captain America or All Might) would make the better hero.  And Trash or Lit Nezuko. Is Demon in Demon Slayer Trash or Lit to the AfrOtakus?? You'll have to find out. We also share our MVPs & Goofy's for the month of September and Player 5 has some thoughts to share about Senku &  the Dr. Stone anime. And if you're wondering why this episode is called Lemonade( besides the fact that One Piece  957 chapter was damn near Oda's lemonade) check out Player 5's Story Time.
