What started as an attempt for Jason and Will to give a quick hot take on the upcoming stacked Fall 2024 season devolved into a realization of how the most important Anime season of the calendar year might not be as inclusive as they once thought. 

With the amount of anime content and streaming services available, getting into the culture has never been easier. Or is it? From top 10 guides and flowcharts, to anime subreddits and even friend suggestions, let's explore the ways a complete beginner explores the world of anime.

There are always several avenues to consume the same property. Whether it is through Anime, Manga, Light Novels, or others. In this episode, Jason and Will discuss the potential reasons why one would prefer one adaptation over another.

There is always an Anime or Manga series that we adore and want more of… but is a spin-off series a good use of resources? Or is it just a waste of time that should be spent on making the next entry in any given series?

“Out With the Old, in With the New”… Is this a naive mindset? Or is it just the natural order of things?

Every beginning has an ending, and every ending starts with a beginning. However, what is less of a certainty is how good these beginnings and endings are.

We all want to give any Anime or Manga series a fair shake… but what if I told you this noble goal is often doomed from the very start?
