We've had amazing anime/manga character growth and regression all across the board. In the world of Manga we might be losing some of our options in terms of reading manga *rip mangastream* but that didn't stop the 2019 manga from hitting. Chainsawman, Jagaaaaan, Kingdom, Attack on Titan, and Black Clover just to name a few hit us hard this year with amazing content and character arcs to keep us reading an interested. But I can't talk about 2019 without talking about the Most Improved Character. Tomura Shigaraki. This man went from most hated by the Afrotakus to some of the best flexes in villainy we've seen in 2019. He's had a lot of progressions and you know we can't end 2019 without talking about the growth of Tomura and the League of Villains. We have way more things to discuss and way more 2019 awards to give out in the Anime and Manga world. So Check out the 2019 Decent Awards aka The 2019 Anime/Manga awards and let us know what you think. From Funimation to Crunchyroll they all got awards shows but no one keeps it as real the AfrOtakus.

| Lemonade | 03 Oct 2019 | 01:50:00 | |
From One Piece to Demon Slayer to Food Wars. This episode is packed with some may interesting discussions we don't know where to start. Well, we MUST talk about One Piece Chapter 957. Finally, the Bounties have been revealed for Shanks and the other Yonko and we share our One Piece 957 Reaction as well as what we think is going to happen next after this monumental reveal. All I know is that Shank's crew was revealed as one of the most balanced ones which means he probably has a decent set of strong crewmates. Outside of the One Piece 957 chapter Gramps has watched 2 seasons of Shokugeki No Soma aka Food Wars() and somebody sent him off trying to compare it to Toriko. So we had to do a little course correction. Player 5 has just entered the Elf arc of Black Clover in the Anime.He takes some time to share his thoughts and explain to the manga readers what the hell was going on in that Black Clover Elf arc. We're also talking about some popular topics from our social media this month. Captain America vs All Might who's the better hero? The room is split on which one of these two (Captain America or All Might) would make the better hero. And Trash or Lit Nezuko. Is Demon in Demon Slayer Trash or Lit to the AfrOtakus?? You'll have to find out. We also share our MVPs & Goofy's for the month of September and Player 5 has some thoughts to share about Senku & the Dr. Stone anime. And if you're wondering why this episode is called Lemonade( besides the fact that One Piece 957 chapter was damn near Oda's lemonade) check out Player 5's Story Time. Hosted on Acast.
