Is that a JoJo's reference?? It certainly is! Sam and Charlie admit a great shame that neither of them have seen much of the beloved anime JoJo's Bizarre adventure - so they enlist the help of JoJo's expert and talented YouTuber Kaleb I.A. to convince them to give it a shot. We discuss the iconic art style and history of the manga, the anime adaptations and just what those ludicrous poses are all about. 👀 Looking for more? Enjoy what we're doing?

With My Hero Academia coming to an end, it's time to reflect on the strange history of this iconic series. Once one of the most promising new shonen series after the famous Big 3 (Naruto, Bleach, One Piece), My Hero Academia was primed to usher in the next stage of the anime medium. But after some online controversies regarding the fandom and the emergence of a new wave of more mature and darker shonen like The Dark Trio (Jujutsu Kaisen, Chainsaw Man, Hell's Paradise), My Hero Academia fell out of favour with much of the anime fandom. What's more, the super hero genre that helped the series find initial success became massively oversaturated, with 'super hero fatigue' contributing to the struggles My Hero Academia faced. Despite this complicated history, My Hero Academia remains one of the most popular series of its time and has maintained huge manga sales.

After Netflix released their mid-year data showing that Naruto is the most watched anime on the platform in the West, we decided to get together and talk through why it still has such a presence. We're joined by returning guest Alex Williams who is just as much of a Naruto fan (and Boruto) as we are. We talk through how much of an influence it had on us growing up and why we still love it (despite it's flaws). 👀 Looking for more? Enjoy what we're doing?
