| Episode #146: Attack On Slime | 22 Jul 2026 | 01:04:42 | |
We've been hard at work cooking behind the scenes but are finally back with another one. This episode, we built an actual war room to plan an invasion of Rimuru's kingdom from 'That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime' because someone thought "how hard could it be, he's literally a slime" was a good pitch. Commander (Highlander) has final say. Intel Lead (Parker Zensai) leads the Tempest briefing (Benimaru alone should be illegal). Red Team Lead (Apollus Prime) spends the whole ep shredding every plan before it leaves the room. Will we come out of this potential war in one piece? Will Rimuru show mercy?

Freshmen's Log When? 2026 Nani? Freshie Awards Why? Keeping it Fresh It's that time of year again when we host the annual AF Freshie Awards and turn our expert caps backwards a la Ash Ketchum when he's about to once again choose the worst suited Pokémon for a crucial all-out battle. In line with this year's Crunchyroll Anime Awards, we'll let you know who will, might, won't, and maybe even can't win their respective categories, making sure that, with man like @jaysamzlive from @shownentell in the cut (appreciate you bro), the takes are spicy, the verdicts are potentially crazy, and the vybz Gachiakuta.

| Episode #142: Meet the Modafockas | 03 Mar 2026 | 01:02:50 | |
Afrikan Families are a Treasure, but not for the weak. So much so that 'laughing at the pain' is an unofficial right of passage. But how do these experiences mesh with the medium that is Anime? We let our imaginations run wild like Jujutsu Kaisen trying to coherently explain how someone's powers work and go in some unexepcted directions. Shout out to our Sis @JayjaySweetsz for coming through and sprinkling the vybz with a pinch of chaos. Every effort is made to keep spoilers to a minimum.

The words "the final phase" keep crossing our minds. Of course they do. It's 2025 and Muzan finally let us in to the most bombastic, physics defying, and confusing place of residence in all of fiction. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle is upon us. We went to watch it to bring you back the feels, the top-tier animation, on top of the sword play action that made us wait for so long.

Ranking different epochs in the history of Anime isn't for the uninitiated; it requires the wisdom of an Arataka Reigen, the battle prowess of a King from One Punch Man, the pathetic capacity to cry on demand of a Hanagaki Takemichi, and the incredible usefullness of Rock Lock's ability.

Lets keep it 💯, we love our community. So much in fact that Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask's relationship would in comparison be reclassified as a platonic friendzone mixed with Bible study taking place at a rundown car wash. As the Anime Freshmen, we are take pride in our expert knowledge of all things anime, and it's put to the test this time round with our Brothers and Sisters sending in their questions for us to answer. Is Tanjiro's head made of a yet undiscovered element? Can Titans get pregnant? Will Rising of the Shield Hero ever come off of life support? Where in the AOT universe does Onyankopon come from? We ponder anime's greatest mysteries. Every effort is made to keep spoilers to a minimum.

| Episode #137 - Dressy Dressy Fun Fun | 28 May 2025 | 01:01:07 | |
This episode is long overdue, because we've all seen a cosplay so on point that we instantly thought 'NANI'?!?', and we almost got GTA6 before getting to deep dive into the Grand Line that is Cosplaying. And to get that in-depth, expert perspective on what it means to turn imagination into a life-sized Tanjiro with Nezuko in box, we had to get the Cosplay Royalty that is @Folacosplays, with all the tips, tricks, and vybz that we know and love her for, showing why it's not just a costume, it's a passion. Bonus points if you can guess which of the Freshmen have cosplayed before; Clue: He likes Anime and goes to the theatre. Every effort is made to keep spoilers to a minimum.

We once again take a look at this year's Crunchyroll Anime Awards and give it that London twist, with our brother Big Miko pulling up and getting involved in the chaotic analysis that we hold near and dear to our hearts.

What happens when anime podcasters get sucked into not one—but three chaotic fantasy worlds ruled by spinning wheels and terrible life choices? In this special episode of Isekai Roulette, our hosts become the unfortunate heroes (or villains?) of randomized realms, armed with bizarre powers, cursed roles, and only podcast mics to their name. Expect wild world-hopping, questionable decisions, and magic systems we barely understand. Whether it's battling slime gods, negotiating with undead kings, or trying to find Wi-Fi in a dungeon, this is isekai madness like you've never heard before.

Captain's Log: As we journey through the Anime Super Highway, We find ourselves wondering about life's greatest mysteries. The most elusive to date is how many anime are on our Watchlists, and will we keep adding on series? (Yes, we will). The list grows ever longer, especially with the new releases coming up in the near future; and yet, we must also still look to the past for those we've promised to watch and have left to the side like seasons 2 and 3 of Rising of that shield hero.

"Calling all cars, calling all cars. Be on the lookout for another Skynet Review episode, approximately drunk with power and making picks at random..."

How many times can you bench press a helicopter? Can you karate chop a giant elephant to death? Will you fight sperm whales for no reason? Has the concept of Death been retired in your universe? Do you enjoy completely disregarding and rewriting the laws of physics & nature?
These are the questions that both Baki & Kengan Ashura ask separately, and having come together for a special crossover, now demand be answered. If the fighting was wild and OTT before, get ready for pure foolishness. This ish is crazy.

So it's with the Power of Friendship that we have our sisters from the After Eight Podcast on today's episode. Who doesn't watch Anime? After Eight don't. And we needed to have a serious discussion about why they've forsaken the path that potentially leads to a lifetime of dWeebiness. We dWeebed the f__k out!!

The Anime Freshmen ranking system is as old as Old Man Yama, and as revered as Rock Lee's ankle weights. Our Brother Gerrd adores it so much he said we either use said ranking system or he'll snitch on us to Muzan. Strong words indeed. Nuff said. In this episode we rank things in anime. Yes, you heard right. THINGS. That's how much we love you. Also, someone makes a historic comeback. Cue Anime Freshmen snap. Every effort is made to keep spoilers to a minimum.

It is the Year 3000 and something. Humans now live in space and have evolved to photosynthesise for most of their energy needs. Similiarly to how Skynet is the enemy of the Anime Freshmen, gigantic alien creatures called Gauna have for some reason decided to 'on sight' what remains of the human race.

In this episode, Gerrd decides to test the limits of our collective logic and question both the legitimacy of sequels to anime series, and whether said sequels are needed at all. It was borderline blasphemous, but as sure as Vegeta will reference his Saiyin pride, we the forces of good will fight back against Gerrd's tyranny and restore order to the Anime Freshmen Kingdom.

Is Meliodas a pervert? Should Master Roshi be banned from having nose bleeds? Will Hisoka eventually end in the electric chair? Weird is everywhere, and today we discuss how some aspects of anime could be seen as not just being weird, but marrying weird and having a baby with it.

| Episode #115 - Skynet Reviews: Pluto | 15 May 2024 | 00:56:34 | |
As inevitable as the proverbial tide and the main shonen character befriending a once hated enemy, Skynet makes its return to our time to once again perform sexy jutsu. How ironic. The entry on this occasion revolves around a world in which a Europol robot detective attempts to solve a string of robot and human deaths, instead of causing them. A world in which robots have essentially attained parity with humans, with their right to life being recognised. Several philosophical questions are raised during our breakdown, with some chuckles thrown in the mix. Every effort is made to keep spoilers to a minimum.

Sport. It incites a passion and fervour so strong that Shoyo Hinata looks like Snorlax in comparison. And with anime daring to touch most, if not all aspects of life, it comes as no surprise that this area of life is no exception to the rule.

This one is special. For every Kamehameha we all attempted in our rooms, and the times certain situations made us think we would really turn Super Saiyan, Dragon Ball Z in particular and Dragon Ball in general, have had an impact and influence on Anime and those that love it so enduring it makes the 1st Goku vs Frieza fight actually look like it lasted 5mins. Akira Toriyama has passed away, starting his journey on Snake Way, and our Saiyan Pride gives thanks for all of the special moments and memories, which are over 9000!

Another revolution around the Sun and saying that the highs and lows have left their mark would only be the beginning. 2023 has been incredible for so many reasons; from our beloved guests, hosting our 1st Convention, to finally completing a Skynet Season, and so much more.

| Episode #105: Skynet Kokoro Connect | 13 Dec 2023 | 00:50:48 | |
Skynet remains undefeated and just like the T-1001 Terminator it's back yet again. Being a teenager is hard. It can be even harder when a supernatural being decides to expose a group of friends to various supernatural, sense-altering phenomena in their daily lives. You read that right. A teenage drama/slice of life with touches of coming of age and, at times, handling mature themes like Law & Order. Kokoro Connect is the last Skynet entry for 2023. Tune in to find out if it was worthy of its position. Every effort is made to keep spoilers to a minimum.
