Each team member picks out their favourite shows across categories featuring genres, music and art – and we also touch on those they'd rather forget!We won't be able to capture all the great shows from 2025, so sound off in the comments with your picks for each category!Our rules for award eligibility:- An anime must have finished airing in 2025.

**Discretion advised, there are themes of depression and suicide mentioned.**In this week's episode of Kaizoku Uncharted, the crew sails into the fall 2025 anime season! Justin is passionate with the anime news, covering Solo Leveling, Apothecary Diaries, Dark Gathering and Re:Monster. Keoni starts us off with This Monster Wants To Eat Me, which he considers to be one of the weaker shows of the anime season. Jakia's take on this show is that it falls in the same vein as The Summer Hikaru Died, but doeswhat that show wasn't brave enough to do. Justin doesn't know about this show. In Touring After the Apocalypse, Jakia is committed to the show and in true Jakia fashion needs more information. Justin and Keoni are not vibing. We'regetting some round, dynamic and diverse characters in A Mangaka's Weirdly Workplace, but will the crew discuss week by week. Keoni shares that he wishes he could appreciate Shojo more, maybe this show will be his origin. Jakia doesn't feel sorry for the main character in Banished Court Magician and agreeswith Keoni's note on him being trash and OP at the same time. Justin is heated and Keoni is loving the chaos. We're forever loving Campfire Cooking In Another World Season 2! Jakia and Keoni are here for the shenanigans, the purchase of anew stove and more! Justin crashes out on My Gift Level 9999 Unlimited Gacha: Backstabbed in a Backwater Dungeon, I'm Out for Revenge. There's new energy on the show and we're excited that with each discussion we go down a differentrabbit hole and tangent. All this and more in this week's episode of Kaizoku Uncharted.

Attenzione, non è un'operazione nostalgia: parliamo di serie moderne come Demon Slayer (2019), Sakamoto Days (2025) e The Apothecary Diaries (2023) – il twist è che lo facciamo da totali ignoranti in materia, come quando eravamo piccoli!Se ti è piaciuto questo episodio, dacci ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ su Spotify e su tutti i POSTIDIPODCAST, consiglialo a tutte le persone che conosci, seguici su Instagram e supportaci su ko-fi!
This week, we dive headfirst into emotional ruin — courtesy of Look Back, the devastatingly beautiful anime film by Chainsaw Man creator Tatsuki Fujimoto. Before we get our hearts ripped out, we unpack a flood of new music releases — including Testament's Para Bellum and Fayle's haunting Heretics and Lullabies — rail against Microsoft's Game Pass price hike, and talk streaming fatigue and piracy. Peter also shares his new plan to train like a writer-athlete with a three-month learning sprint, while Eden reviews Nine Inch Nails' Tron: Ares soundtrack, gushes about Apothecary Diaries, and explains why a Regency “choose your own adventure” romance might be the most fun book they've read all month. It all ends with tears, cello music, and a haunting meditation on why we create art in the first place.

A long time coming, I am pleased to have Ariel aka AriNicoCosplay join me on the podcast to talk with her about her favorite fandoms. We split the episode in half. The first half we cover the first anime. Ariel and I talk about our anime origins, with hers being with Toonami and staying up late to catch some of the anime series presented on the Cartoon Network. We do deeper dives into two of her current favorites, Dorohedoro and The Apothecary Diaries. From there, we step into the world of cosplay. If you've followed Ariel's Instagram for some time, you'll know that she does incredibly detailed cosplay and cosplay pieces. We talk about how she first got into cosplay, her process when it comes to costumes/costuming, the skills she's learned, and more. We highlight several of her pieces, and we talk about the work that goes into finding the fabrics and items needed. You can find Ariel at: https://www.instagram.com/arinicocosplay/ https://arinicocosplay.com/ https://www.tiktok.com/@arinicocosplay

Well, we only just made it, but our June episode is here! We review episodes 13-16 of You & Idol PreCure, which ranges from a sports/romance episode to an episode about moms to a fairy dating episode, to a training episode. Though we cover a wide range of topics, we can all agree that Meroron is bald and our least favorite character. Uta continues to shine, however. Also there seems to be a new PreCure on the way. No, wait, 2 PreCures?

In this lively and irreverent episode of The Middle of Culture, Peter and Eden build a tier list ranking 29 DC movies, from the highs of Christopher Reeve's iconic Superman to the lows of Black Adam, which earns a new category all its own: "F*** You Forever." Along the way, they debate the merits of Nolan's Batman trilogy, praise Margot Robbie while trashing her material, and wax poetic about Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman and the ridiculous joy of Catwoman (2004). The episode also dives into recent reads, including the emotionally devastating Adachi and Shimamura 99.9, with Eden delivering an impassioned recounting that might just wreck you. Add in some heat-dome weather talk, tech-death music recs, and plenty of hot takes, and you've got one of the most entertaining episodes yet.Episode Notes:Welcome BackEden shares weather misery and emotional tales of crying over Adachi and ShimamuraPeter updates on his son's relentless swim meet schedule and praises the dedication of teen athletesWhat We're IntoEden continues to love The Apothecary Diaries, now reading it aloud with CassiDeep emotional dive into Adachi and Shimamura 99.9, including:Cozy slice-of-life momentsPost-apocalyptic existentialismA bittersweet afterlife reunion that left Eden in tearsPeter shares his current reading on behavior change and playing Mario Kart with the kidsMetal music recs from Peter:Fallujah and Exocrine (tech-death highlights)Sigh's re-recording of Hangman's Hymn (2007 → 2025 edition)The Tier List Begins29 DC movies ranked from S-tier to a newly invented bottom tierImmediate praise for Superman: The Movie -- the only true S-tier filmBatman Begins and The Batman hold strong in A-tierThe Dark Knight lands at a controversial B, Dark Knight Rises flops to DSurprising affection for Catwoman bumps it up to C, while Suicide Squad, Justice League, and Black Adam are rightfully trashedEden passionately defends the joyfully chaotic Batman & Robin, despite its executionZack Snyder's Justice League makes it to B solely for its absurdityLego Batman wins hearts, even from Eden who has a Lego movie vendettaNew Tier Created: "F*** You Forever"Reserved exclusively for Black Adam, a film so despised that Peter stopped watching anything with The Rock afterwardWrap-UpOne clear conclusion: 1978's Superman stands unmatchedRichard Donner hailed as the god-tier director James Gunn can't touchGentle roast of MCU's decline vs DC's chaotic legacyCall to action: listeners encouraged to weigh in via feedback@themiddleofculture.com

In this episode of Comm Talk by Geek Devotions, Dallas and Celeste are diving into two stories that surprised them in all the best ways. First up, Apothecary Diaries. After binge-watching all of Season 1 and catching up on Season 2, they break down what the show's about, why it grabbed their attention, and some of the deeper stuff going on beneath the surface. From the structure of the palace society to the emotional weight the characters carry, there's a lot more happening here than just solving medical mysteries. Then after a quick break, they jump into Marvel's Thunderbolts. They unpack the story, talk about what worked, what didn't, and how the film opens the door to some pretty real conversations, especially around depression, purpose, and what it means to move forward when life gets heavy. If you've been curious about either of these or just want to hear some real talk about storytelling, grab your coffee and let's chat.
