One possible downside is that some listeners who are not familiar with Toonami or anime may find it difficult to fully appreciate or understand certain references or inside jokes made by the hosts. Additionally, while the hosts' off-topic discussions can be entertaining, they occasionally derail from the main topic at hand for extended periods of time which might frustrate some listeners seeking a more focused discussion about upcoming episodes or news related to Toonami.
