It's finally spooky season! The air gets a bit chillier, leaves litter the front lawn, and you get the excuse to snuggle under a warm blanket while watching anime. It's the perfect season!

Frankfurtter and MagicallyAverage share their thoughts on the Fall anime season so far based solely on the first episode of each anime on their watchlist!

Ok ok ok, what the heck are "anime tourists"??? For starters, it's not referring to people who travel to Japan just for the anime culture. This term is not new to the anime community nor is the issue that stems from "anime tourism," but with the boom of content creators since the pandemic and short-form media being the most popular to consume, it's not surprise why some in the community are getting a bit overwhelmed. Frankfurtter and MagicallyAverage provide their two cents on the topic in this week's episode, covering everything from the online clash of anime content creators...

There's always been something special about seeing an anime in theater. For Western audiences, it was a treasure getting the chance to see your favorite series shine on the silver screen if only for a limited time. Today, it seems like anime movies are becoming more and more common, so much so that some series are using them as finales for the show! Frankfurtter and MagicallyAverage spend the episode dissecting anime films and highlighting why they are more excited for the Chainsaw Man: The Movie - Reze Arc than the remainder of the Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Arc ones...

Ah, yes. The smell of apple cider. The sound of crunching leaves. The sight of anime being watched at 2AM cause the demons won't leave let you sleep. Yes, it's everyone's favorite season of the year: Fall! And with the flannel weather approaching we also get a brand new lineup of anime to watch! Tune in to the bakabois' favorite episode each season where they preview all of the upcoming anime, from the good to the bad to the oh my lord why did they make this...? Enjoy!!

*** SPOILERS AHEAD ***

And so, our journey begins. Three films to wrap-up one of the most popular anime over the last 6 years. There have been many ups throughout the series, and certainly plenty of downs. Probably more downs than people would like to admit, but I digress. The first installment of the finale trilogy received immense hype across seas, with fans touting it as being the best anime film they have ever seen. So, has the Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle movie retained its infamy and truly blow us away? Don't worry, we won't be obtuse like IGN...

After what felt like MONTHS of Frankfurtter teasing a surprise for MagicallyAverage, we finally get the reveal: he watched Orb... hooray... Not like MagicallyAverage has been screaming about this anime ever since it aired or anything, but yeah, cool, great, glad Frankfurtter finally watched it. But yes, today's BakaBites episode is a surprise Otaku Time Machine drop where the bakabois review Orb: On the Movements of the Earth. Has MagicallyAverage's favorite anime of the award season made an impact on Frankfurtter? Or has it completely fallen flat? And yes, those were my attempts at astrological puns o((>ω< >

...

Hey there, I heard you like reading, ya nerd. Well, you're in luck, cause we got a whole truckload of licensing announcements from manga publishers over the weekend! Frankfurtter will take us through all of the recent manga, light novel, and comic(????) announcements from publishers like Seven Seas, Yen Press, Kodansha, and Dark Horse. And hey, didn't make it to AnimeNYC last weekend? Well, don't worry your pretty, little head! MagicallyAverage talks about his experience attending AnimeNYC as a panelist and gives a rundown of the pros and cons of the Big Apple's anime convention. Spoiler alert, it was...

It's a bird! It's a plane! Well, no, actually, it is a plane, it just has a bunch of weebs on it for some reason... If you're confused, fret not! This week, the bakabois cover a number of hot-off-the-press items from Crunchyroll, including a partnership with Delta to put anime on your next seatback entertainment system when you fly! The duo also covers some recent layoffs out of the Crunchyroll offices (boooooooo). And to top it all off, some wild news from the Demon Slayer English dub that will undoubtedly shock you. Trust me, this was not on our 2025...

***TRIGGER WARNING***

Look, sometimes the truth hurts, OK? We love you all dearly and care very much about you, but gosh dang y'all can be quite stupid at times, you know? So prepare yourself cause this week MagicallyAverage has finally lost it and is not holding back. In fact, Frankfurtter doesn't even try to stop him; he just sits there and let's it happen. Unbelievable... Oh, they bakabois also talk about an alien octopus who transcended the anime ranks to become king. Look, there's a lot happening, OK? Just make sure you're sitting down for this...

We're back, and boy have we missed a lot! San Diego Comic Con wrapped up with plenty of amazing manga announcements from Kodansha, Viz, and Dark Horse. Demon Slayer has been breaking its own records in Japan with the release of the Infinity Castle Arc Movie pt. 1. And to top it all off, Vshojo has shut its doors after practically all of their signed vtubers left the company after not being paid. We've got a TON to cover, so sit back and enjoy this week's chaotic episode!!

We all know these sayings: Never judge book by its cover. Never count your chickens before they hatch. And always, ALWAYS, rank an anime by only their first episode. Classic sayings, right? Frankfurtter and MagicallyAverage are taking the last one a bit too seriously and giving you their WAYYYYY too early ratings for anime airing this Summer season! Tune in to listen to their early rankings on this season's anime, and make sure to let us know what's on your watchlist this Summer!

Tune in to hear their recap from the convention, including all of the premieres that aired and the copious amount of merch they purchased. PLUS, the gang has some exciting news to share as well.

Another season down, another anime watchlist full of unfinished series... BUT, fret not, the bakabois still had plenty on their plate to review from the Spring 2025 anime season! There were plenty of returning series along with several new, exciting anime to premiere, with the occasional dud sprinkled in as well. Tune in to find out what Frankfurtter and Magically

The luxury of having a vast library of manga at your fingertips is priceless. Well, most of the apps aren't free, but reading as much as you want is a true blessing from the heavens. OK, most sites do cap your daily limit, but come on, having hundreds of thousands of series available to read whenever you want is incredible! I mean, some of them aren't translated to English yet so you have to go elsewhere to find them and... Look, can we- can we just agree that having digital manga is fantastic? Yes? Good? Ok, excellent.

Honestly, we can't keep doing this... Year after year we hope, pray even, that the Crunchryoll Anime Awards will turn a new leaf. The the awards won't just be a glorified popularity contest and would recognize the anime that truly made a lasting impression on the fandom and the industry during that year. Yet here we are, another awards ceremony in the books, and the glazing is still in full effect... Well, come on in, folks, and take part in the clown show as Frankfurtter and MagicallyAverage recap the 2025 Crunchyroll Anime Awards. This is gonna be a long one....<...

For years now, we have vented our frustration and disappointment over not getting new manga series as quickly as we would like. Jojo's Bizarre Adventure is a perfect example of this phenomenon where an English translation will come 5, 10, or even 15 years after the series has concluded... ಠ﹏ಠ So, to help satiate our appetite while we patiently wait for a physical or digital release, many fans will turn to fan translated versions of the series online. These sites helped to bring many new series over to the English-reading population and was a perfect placeholder for fans to either catch up on a seri...

*Ring Ring* Uh oh, the last bell... You better run if you want to make it to MagicallyAverage and Frankfurtter's class! This week they're reviewing the recent tariff news on foreign produced films and how this could impact the upcoming anime movies that are releasing this year. With many anime productions coming from Japanese, Chinese, and South Korean studios, the tariffs on foreign productions could mean higher costs to consumers at the theaters. Or worse, foreign films may be pulled from theaters entirely and reserved only for streaming services months later... .·´¯`(>▂

It's that time again, folks! Time for yet another Top 5 from your favorite podcasting duo!! (*sound the air horns*) This week, Frankfurtter and MagicallyAverage give their top 5 most overrated anime. And yes, your favorite will likely be on this list. Be warned...

Look, we get it, alright? There's a stigma surrounding anime conventions; smelly, odd, and just kind of weird. But regardless, why oh why do such sad, unfortunate things happen at anime conventions??? Poop raining from the ceiling?! Smoke filling up Artist Alley?!?!

Ah, yes. The start of Spring. A time where the weather begins to warm and the snow starts to melt. A time where nature starts it cycle of rebirth, with flowers beginning to bloom and buds growing on trees. A time where you decide to still just stay inside, cuddle up in a blanket, and continue watching anime. Yeah, yeah that sounds better. And hey, what perfect timing! Frankfurtter and MagicallyAverage are previewing the upcoming Spring Anime season!! So, rather than doing some Spring cleaning or *bleh* going outside ⊙﹏⊙∥ come join the bakabois as they take a look at some upc...

Watchlist piling up? Can't decide which new series to start? Why not rewatch an anime you've already seen 14,836 times instead?? This week, Frankfurtter and MagicallyAverage talk about their favorite anime series to binge over and over and over again. The bakabois also talk about some of their favorite repeat movies as well (spoiler alert, not all of them are anime ╮(╯-╰)╭ ). So, join in for this week's new episode!

When building out your manga library, it's important you remember this one piece of advice: nothing is sentimental, so sell it for a profit. What? What, you thought I would give you some uplifting wisdom about how best to collect series or where to spot deals? No no no. Building out your manga collection isn't about enjoying the series you love or anything of the sort. It's about profiting off of series that go out-of-print or are rare to find, forcing those who desperately want to enjoy them to take a second mortgage on someone else's home just to...

You ever a friend, a co-worker, or just some random person on the street tell you that you HAVE to watch this show cause it's, like, the greatest thing ever?! And you keep getting told over, and over, AND OVER again that you just need to sit down and watch it, so you go "FINE! OK! Stop following me home at night and berating me about this show. I'll watch it! Jeez.." So you watch it, and after ALLLL that talk about how incredible the show is, you go "...this is garbage..." Sound familiar? Yeah, we've all been there...

Come, sit down, and take a break with the BakaBois as they shoot the breeze on this laid back episode of BakaBites. Frankfurtter and MagicallyAverage talk about some random TikTok rumors spreading, the long-awaited English release of Kingdom, and plenty more.

Everything must come to an end at some point. For manga, it can happen after many years of success or in the blink of a fart. Today, new Shonen series seem to come and go about as quick as a TikTok trend. Whenever you get attached to a new series, BAM, its axed for no good reason. Its hard to get attached to anything in fear of it quickly leaving you to read yet another boring romcom instead. So, the Baka Bois had enough and decided to create their own, new Shonen series!

New year, same s**t. In fairness this is about the time of year when many people start failing their New Year's resolutions, so its no surprise that both Crunchyroll and Netflix find themselves getting bad press. MagicallyAverage and Frankfurtrter talk about the Crunchyroll accounts being leaked on social media as well as Netflix raising its subscriptions prices yet again... Oh, but at least Crunchryoll confirmed that there was no evidence of their systems being compromised, so...that's a win. Meanwhile, the anime industry globally has its largest percentage growth in 2023, reaching revenues of over $19 billion. And what do...

It's always the same... Every year we openly subject ourselves to the pain and anguish created by the Crunchyroll Anime Awards. We hope, dream even, that this year will change. That things will be different and the anime that win will be the ones that rightfully deserve the award; rather, we find ourselves observing a popularity contest where the prettiest of them all takes the crown. It's always the same... But maybe, just maybe, things will be different this - Hmm? Oh, JJK might be eligible still? Yeah, no, it's still gonna be the same... Well, we'll try to...

Better late than never, right? WRONG! As anime fans, we are at the mercy of the studios when it comes the release of an English dub or any dub for that matter. Will it be simulcast or on a three-week delay? Will we have to wait the full season before our beloved new anime gets a dub? Or worse...will we never get a dub??? MagicallyAverage and Frankfurtter discuss the random release of English dubs for anime and the chaotic decision making of the studios on when to release English dubs. The bakabois also mourn over the anime that...

The time has come. All good things must come to an end. The passing of the torch is upon us... I can't come up with more idioms, but you get the idea. Yes, the beloved series, Arcane, has ended and fans around the World are wondering 'Well, what's next?!?' I have GOOD NEWS! MagicallyAverage and Frankfurtter have taken it upon themselves to pitch their ideas for the next best video game TV series! Which gaming franchises are at the top of their lists? And can they even hold a candle to the masterpiece that was Arcane? Let us...

Drama. The last few weeks in the anime and manga world have seen nothing but drama. More unfolding in the David Wald departure from Crunchyroll and the lack of updates from either sides. More schools are banning manga for ridiculous and, somewhat, racial reasons. Sony is planning to expand their ever-growing empire more with the potential acquisition of Kadokawa. Like I said, DRAMA! And in case you missed it all you have Frankfurtter and MagicallyAverage here to bring you up to speed!

If you're a fan of anime you always try to find ways to show off your favorite series however you can. Buying merch at cons, getting exclusive apparel, or maybe just a figure of your favorite character. Many fans also love showing their appreciate for anime by connecting with the voices behind their favorite characters.

Each season of anime comes with its highs and its lows. Whether its new anime or a returning series, anime fans are blessed with a wide array of shows to start watching. But is there a season of anime that can surpass them all? Is it possible for a single season to contain some of the best series, new and old? It seems improbable since so many anime are released every few months, but this Fall season aims to reign atop the rest as the Greatest Season of All Time! Spectacular new anime, long-awaited returning series, and some enjoyable...

Nothing hurts the heart of an anime fan more than a sudden and drastic change to their beloved show. Whether its the voice actors, the soundtrack, or just the quality of the show, supporters will quickly take note of the errors they uncover in their show.

What defines a villain in anime? Is it their cruel nature? Their seething hatred towards all good things? Well, however you define it, I'd say the biggest villain is Yami Yugi. End of story.

Baka&Co's Top Anime from Summer!

Trading cards games.. What was once controlled by nerds and sweaty men, the universe of TCGs has expanded immensely over the last 5 years and evolved into something no one could have possibly predicted. Where once Magic the Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh, and Pokémon dominated alone, the TCG market has exploded with a plethora of new options, many of them using anime for the base of their game! Some of these new TCGs were created from existing anime IP, like One Piece and Dragon Ball Z. Others simply use anime to develop new cards for their game, like Weiss Schwarz and U...

Month after month. Year after year. The Baka&Company Podcast takes on the grueling, but necessary, task of previewing each and every anime coming out in the upcoming season.

Anime. Ah, anime. How far the medium has come from the early days of Astro Boy and Speed Racer to the powerhouses of the present like One Piece and Attack on Titan. The World of anime has even extended beyond the borders of Japan to shows like Blue Eye Samurai and - what? Wait, that's not anime?

Big news released on Monday, August 19th, that Jujutsu Kaisen will be ending in 5 chapters! With the recent conclusion of My hero Academia and the inevitable ending of One Piece according to Eiichiro Oda himself we have to ask the question, "What will be the next leading series for weekly Shonen Jump?" Will it be Kargurabachi, or will the underdog in Akane-Banashi take the charge and be the face of Shonen Jump? Tune in to the listen to the mad ramblings of the old manga men as they tell weave their crazy theories and try to navigate the uncertain...

The internet used to be such a simple place. Funny cartoon videos, MySpace, and "Top 5" lists as far as the eye can see. Want to know what the best new movies are, or what the Summer's hottest fashion items are going to be? Well, the internet had a Top 5 list to fit your need. So, in a bout of nostalgia (and a splash of laziness), Frankfurtter and MagicallyAverage turn back the internet clocks to make their own Top 5 list! This time around the baka bois present their Top 5 favorite current Shonen Jump Sunday series. With My Hero Academia just...

Art has played an important part in our World for thousands of years. From storytelling to sculpting and everything in-between, art is a staple of modern society. This is especially true for the Boss Coffee commercials starring Tommy Lee Jones (and if you know, you know). This week, MagicallyAverage and Frankfurtter talk about the importance of investing in the arts and how Japan, unsurprisingly, is setting an example for how this can be accomplished. Manga competitions highlighting the talents of elementary school students, a short animated film highlighting the beauty of a spectacularly underappreciated city, and, of course, commercials...

Well, it's almost that time of the year again. The time when the secret society at Crunchyroll begin to crunch the numbers on this year's anime and try to pick winners for - Oh, oh you didn't know? The nominees eligible for the 2025 Crunchyroll Anime Awards ends after the Summer 2024 season. So the best anime for the 2025 awards will be anime from Fall 2023 to Summer 2024. Makes perfect sense! What also makes sense is Attack on Titan winning awards for their special episode, Demon Slayer sweeping up categories for their short season, and Jujutsu Kaisen making a surprise appearance to...

We've all gone through this experience before; an anime you love or a manga you just can't put down, out of nowhere, gets the ax. The sudden realization leaves you in a state of shock, not sure if you should vent your frustration online or simply cry in the corner of your room while clutching the few pieces of merch you have from that series. And whether its poor viewership, abysmal sales, or a lack of fan support, fans are always left clueless as to why their favorite series is being dropped. But what if they had a second...

The Old Manga Men are back at it again, but this time they've invited along a guest to join in on the commotion! Our special guest, TheMangaSloth, has pulled up a rocking chair and chimed in on the topic of manga with Frankfurtter and MagicallyAverage for this Season 13 premiere episode! The trio take a look back at their early years of manga collecting (well, some of them at least) and talk about how much the manga market has changed over the years. Join in on the fun for this week's special episode with TheMangaSloth!!

Let us know what you liked the most from Spring as well!

Whenever you hear the world 'manga' you always imagine Japan, and it's obvious why! But imagine a new-age of manga where someone could think of France, Mexico, or the United States when discussing new manga and its origins. Beautiful, isn't it? Well, Viz Media would agree! Viz has launched a new program to help aspiring mangaka around the globe jump into the spotlight that has always been centered around just Japan. Viz Originals One-Shots (not an entirely creative name, but gets right to the point) is aimed at showcasing new manga creators from around the world on the Viz...

There are thousands upon thousands of series in Japan that are patiently waiting to get their change for a publication in North America. Sure, many fans can read them online from freelance translators, but having the official publication of a manga series finally released physically is a completely different feeling! That being said, it seems like many of the main distributors of manga outside of Japan don't really have their fingers to the pulse for what manga fans are truly asking for. Minecraft the manga? Dark Souls manga? More Boruto?!? Not to mention swapping digital series between apps??? This...

It's what you've always wanted. What you've been asking for since the boys first came together. A sensual recording done live, in-person, in a hotel room in Atlanta, GA.

Artificial Intelligence, something everyone talks about but very few know what it actually is (us included...). Who would have guessed that AI would seep into the anime and manga world in such a short period of time?! MagicallyAverage and Frankfurtter go through some recent news reports on AI in the manga space and how its affecting the industry. From an AI company scraping over 700,000 manga and light novels to train their AI model to an Orange that is the poster child of a new manga translation company, the boys talk about the future of the manga industry and whether...

Everything is getting more and more expensive these days; fast food, gas, and now my anime!! Crunchyroll has yet again increased their subscription prices, but little to nothing has changed that would warrant these changes. Anime fans are becoming increasingly irritated by the higher prices and number of streaming services where anime is aired outside of Japan. Solution? They're taking to the high seas! What impact could this have on the anime industry in North America and Europe? Frankfurtter and MagicallyAverage talk through the many layers of the anime industry and why becoming a pirate could have a negative...

You just have to ruin it for everybody, don't you...? Yeah, I'm talking to you! You know who you are. (¬_¬") MagicallyAverage and Frankfurtter talk about the depressing news out of Japan concerning recent bans due to poor tourist behavior. Areas of the Gion District in Kyoto are now restricted due to tourists abusing the businesses and individuals in the area just for a picture of the geisha wandering the streets. The Japanese government is even erecting a wall over a Lawson's in Fujikawaguchiko because tourists were littering so much and causing traffic blocks just to snap a viral photo... Wh...

Since its inception in 2006, fans have used MAL as a site to shout their opinions about their most loved and hated anime into the vacuum of the anime internet. But why are fans constantly throwing temper tantrums whenever an anime takes the #1 spot??
