This week, we’re live from Animate Raleigh Con with a packed episode! We kick things off by breaking down the latest Solo Leveling episode, from its epic new intro to the intense dungeon action featuring Jinwoo and his crew.

Next, we dive into the finales of Blue Lock and Bleach. Maal drops a controversial hot take, claiming Blue Lock's ending outshines Bleach, sparking a heated pushback from Cj.

The discussion then shifts to Dragon Ball Daima, where Rico gets hyped about Vegeta’s Super Saiyan 3 transformation, and Maal argues that Vegeta’s forms outshine Goku’s. The crew ranks the best Super Saiyan transformations, with Ty revealing the community poll results on the ultimate form from Super Saiyan 1 to 4.

Finally, Rico wraps up with the latest anime scoop and what to expect in the 2025 anime lineup. Don’t miss this action-packed episode!

In our final episode of the year, Ty and Maal dive into the best of our community's anime polls from Threads and YouTube! We debate fan responses to questions like: Which character would you trust most with the Omnitrix? (Ichigo, Asta, Deku, or Luffy?) Who’s the best smack-talker in anime? (Yusuke, Vegeta, Kiba, or Escanor?) Which anime character would you trust most to rule the world? Ty and Maal go head-to-head over some of the most heated poll results, including Ty's hot take about Sakura that sends Maal spiraling. Join us for an episode packed with laughs, bold opinions, and the ultimate year-end debates. Don't miss it!

In this special live-streamed episode, we team up with Fitness in Fandom to explore how they merge fitness and anime culture. From bringing workout gear like dumbbells, hammer weights for the Thor Challenge, and pull-up bars to anime conventions, to hosting mid-con "Power Hour" workout sessions, they’re redefining the anime experience.

In the next segment, we dive into sports anime, covering fan-favorites like Hajime no Ippo, Haikyuu!!, Kuroko no Basket, and Blue Lock. Special guest Tony introduces us to How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift?, breaking down why it's the ultimate fitness anime.

Finally, we take a nostalgic turn, revisiting iconic throwback shows like American Dragon: Jake Long, Xiaolin Showdown, and Jackie Chan Adventures.
