THIS WEEK: We continue the talk about the Shade heard around the gaming and fandom world as I discuss why the cast and crew of Mortal Kombat 2 isn't sweating the cast of Street Fighter. I also share my thoughts on the trailers for Supergirl, Avatar: The Last Airbender season 2, and, of course, the end of an era in anime as My Hero Academia says farewell. All this, plus my review of Netflix's Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft season 2.

Jamie and Guerby officially say goodbye to My Hero Academia with their final review and an honest send off to one of anime's most talked about series. From emotional highs to lingering questions, they break down what worked, what didn't, and where MHA lands in the anime hall of fame. Then the conversation takes a turn: are there actually any redeemable villains in anime? From tragic backstories to straight up menaces, the duo debates who deserves grace, who deserves jail, and who was never misunderstood to begin with. Expect big laughs, wild tangents, unfiltered opinions, and anime hot takes that might get you mad enough to pause the episode and argue out loud. Press play, say farewell, and let the chaos commence.
In perhaps the longest episode ever, Rachael and Ruth review Fall 2025's anime: SpyxFamily S3, Cat's Eye, This Monster Wants To Eat Me, A Mangaka's Weirdly Wonderful Workplace and the final season of My Hero Academia.Oh, and did you know Not Just Tentacles has been going for 4 years now?Contains tangents, cricks from recording on the floor, discussion of sapphic media and tons of Star Wars references.CW: Suicidal ideation, emotional incest, implied actual incest/SA.

We continue discussing episodes 1 through 3, starting off with Sanda. The crew shares their appreciation of the art style and animation, and how it nods to Invader Zim and Zatch Bell. Jakia isn't as excited about the show as Keoni is. She finds it sus that a 14-year-old boy transforms into an 80-year-old man. In Spy Family Season 3, Justin's hate for Anya continues, and he admits that you have to commit to finishing the season. The crew is shares how there is a mix of pointless episodes and then canon when we leave of Twilight's backstory. There is debate about whether or not he truly remembers his name due to stressors or if they bleeped it out. We stan for My Status As An Assassin. Thestory and art are refreshing; Jakia doesn't trust that the students were summoned to save the world. Jakia doesn't get the votes to put the King and the Princess in the book. We're here for the titles in My Hero Academia. Justin needs to find a clip of the old man wanting to save All Might. Justin wasgetting teary-eyed, and loved how they were pulling at the heartstrings, absolutely stunning and captivating. The fight between One for All, All Might and Stain is giving us everything!

On this episode of Anime Minority Report, Jamie and Guerby dive straight into chaos. We're talking about the actual comment My Hero Academia's creator dropped about how he originally wanted to end the series and how that would've changed everything. From there, the conversation goes completely off the rails in true AMR fashion. Do protagonists really need to be strong in every anime, or have we just been conditioned to accept main characters who hit the gym more than they hit therapy? We debate it, joke about it, and somehow end up questioning our entire childhoods. If you like anime takes with unhinged energy, side commentary, and two hosts who probably should not record unsupervised, this episode is for you.
X-Men Age of Revelation from Marvel Comics goes on and Brett and Evil Jeff continue reacting to titles with a TOOT or a BOOT. Why are some titles fluent and others babbling? We also look at other comic books like ONE WORLD UNDER DOOM and X-MEN OF APOCALYPSE. Plus, we catch up with PLURIBUS and check in with Evil Jeff's MY HERO ACADEMIA journey!

Welcome back to the Shonen Shojo ShoShow Podcast, where Pino Mack and Pauly aggressively ramble about anime so you don't have to! A day late, but they made it!This week, the duo reviews everything from K-Pop Demon Hunters (yes, it's chaos) to Solo Leveling Season 2 (aka: “What if one man was simply Too Strong?”). Pauly dips into mystery horror with The Summer That Hikaru Died, and introduces Gachakuta—described lovingly as “Bleach, but in a dumpster”—and both spiral emotionally over My Hero Academia and the Chainsaw Man RealD movie.Meanwhile, “Pino's Potions” returns with drinks inspired by Dan to Dan characters, including something warm and yummy, and a Dirty Shirley that could probably exorcise a mid-tier demon. Pauly also unleashes his “Pauly's Pet Peeve”: people trying to invent something having to do with threes? (Whatever it is…Stop it. Don't do that.)If you love anime reviews, unhinged commentary, K-pop tangents, and chaotic good energy, this is your episode.

We look at some old faces in new places on this week's Moviecast. Stranger Thing's Sadie Sink is going to be in Avengers: Secret Wars. Brie Larson is cast as Rosalina in the Super Mario Galaxy movie. My Hero Academia's creator is heavily involved in the Netflix adaptation. WB is going to be sold to somebody, but maybe not the Saudis. Labubus are coming to the big screen via Sony.

Vivi (Vicky), character design analyst and video essayist, joins the podcast to break down how fame is built, sold, and protected. After a clear-eyed look at the “next big thing” machine around actors like Mason Thames, we examine how Hollywood favors familiar, marketable faces, how race and colorism shape visibility, how listicles and PR language disguise old hierarchies as meritocracy, and why certain careers are pre-selected long before the audience thinks it has chosen.From there, we move into fame as a system through To Be Hero X, Oshi no Ko, and My Hero Academia: trust scores and hero towers, idol factories and weaponized fandom, rankings and school pipelines that turn human beings into managed brands. We connect how these stories show image as currency, audiences as enforcement, and corporations as the final arbiter of who is celebrated, discarded, or sacrificed.All this, plus the content creator pipeline, sponsorship logic, scandal management, selective cancellation, and what it means to live as a product in an attention economy that never switches off. This episode is direct, detailed, and unromantic about what modern fame demands—and what it quietly costs.0:00 – IntroShow open, “I've Been Meaning To Watch That” intro, this week's topic preview. 0:26 – Meet Vivi (Vicky)Vivi introduces herself, her character design work, and how she reads visual choices and tropes. 1:21 – Episode OverviewFraming the three texts (To Be Hero X, Oshi no Ko, My Hero Academia) and “fame as a system.” 2:07 – Media Mania: Mason Thames & Manufactured StarsVulture article, Mason Thames' three #1 films, “ordinary” palatable whiteness, comparison to Jim Carrey, Daniel Kaluuya, Mahershala Ali, Caleb McLaughlin vs co-stars, listicles, casting patterns, race and colorism in who gets momentum.25:00 – What Is Fame As A System?Defining fame beyond Hollywood: power in a name, internet volatility, person-to-product pipeline.36:29 – Enter To Be Hero X (Context + Why It Hits)Underrated status, production, anthology structure, trust value system, Hero Tower explained.40:53 – Style, Structure, and the Hero FactoryVisual language, hero/villain PR, reality show framing, shipping, consent, system manufacturing crime and narratives.51:05 – Trust vs Fear & Who Gets ProtectedHeroes as controlled assets, commission, balance of worship and terror, parallels to scandalous but untouchable figures. 1:12:04 – Oshi no Ko: Idol Industry and Weaponized ParasocialityPilot, reincarnation hook without plot spoiling, how the show dissects exploitation, image labor, fans as enforcement.1:54:04 – My Hero Academia: Hero Rankings and Marketable MoralitySeries summary, school-as-industry pipeline, quirks as brandable assets, Class 1-A vs 1-B, children groomed into a hero economy.2:22:15 – Endgame: Systems That Eat Their OwnClosing on endings discourse, systemic rot, why To Be Hero X reads like Oshi no Ko + MHA pushed to its logical conclusion. 2:31:48 – WatchlistUpcoming watches: Chainsaw Man movie, My Hero Academia catch-up, other anime on the radar.Vicky's Linktreehttps://linktr.ee/viviwithavTikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@viviwithav2.0YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@viviwithavPodcast SocialsYouTube https://www.youtube.com/@ivebeenmeaningtowatchthatp2316Twitter: https://twitter.com/BeenMeaning2PodTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ivebeenmeaning2podFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Ive-Been-Meaning-To-Watch-That-113280083760521/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ivebeenmeaning2/

We have a few new shows too, so as always when one thing ends something else begins. Will those new things have any staying power or are they bound to slide into obscurity?
