With Zea and Gibbs out, NAFC gets a full-on weeb takeover as Izzy and Mox run the show. First up: Kimetsu no Yaiba: Infinity Castle hype is at an all-time high—tickets are sold out, scalpers are eating, and the duo speculates on how wild this arc might get. Is it Nezha 2 levels of cultural event? Maybe. Izzy drops a rec for Milky Subway, a short that hits that nostalgic Red vs Blue energy from the golden age of internet content. Then it's a full spoiler-filled dive into Takopi's Original Sin—a dark, emotionally devastating series that leaves no one okay. The conversation somehow swerves into ChatGPT-5, the state of tech, and what happened to being fiscally responsible? Why cancel Hogwarts Legacy when it's literal free money? And to end things on a threatening note: Gibbs isn't even here, yet he might've cursed the crew with Ice-T in War of the Worlds. No body tell him! But pray for us. Support us on Patreon!

This week Nathan and Chris are joined by Aftermath's first-ever regular contributor, Isaiah Colbert, to talk about the latter's speciality: anime. It does not take long for this to spiral into a fittingly multi-part conversation about JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, but we also manage to at least briefly tackle issues pertaining to labor in the anime and manga industries and fans' reaction (or lack thereof) to pervasive crunch at major studios. Then we discuss Nathan's big, months-in-the-making report on OTK, a streamer organization headed up by Twitch stars like Asmongold and Mizkif which finds itself facing an uncertain future after years of scandal and streamers, who also own the organization, losing interest. After that, Chris gushes about Blue Prince, a roguelite puzzle game tailor-made for the exact kind of person Chris is. Finally, we answer a reader question about everybody's favorite completely uncontroversial anime topic: fan service.
