It's Father's Day, which means it's time to give credit to the dads of anime. And throw shame on the fathers who shirked their duties...or almost caused the destruction of the world.

Every good anime has a tournament arc. Hell, every great anime has a tournament arc. Since our show's inception, we've been ranking characters on the Waifu Watch and the Best Boy Bulletin.

It's time to get nostalgic! This week, we begin a long journey to discover the best year in anime history by discussing the shows we were watching when we were wee lads in 1999.

As always we've been thinking about Fate; specifically, watching Emiya and his friends just chillax and make some bacon sandwiches. With the announcement of a new game centered around Today's Menu for the Emiya Family, we pose the question: what other anime deserve a cooking spinoff.

We are not lacking for good fights in anime, and no medium can bring the hype harder. But, let's scale things back and talk about the greatest duels in anime history.

It's impossible to watch everything. Everyone has those shows that they swear they'll get to...someday...eventually...we swear. This week, we discuss the shows and manga that make us ashamed to say we've never watched or read them.
