In Episode 6, your hosts dive deep into some of the biggest conversations shaking up the anime world right now. We kick things off with a breakdown of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex — exploring the latest story arcs, major character evolutions, and the wild events shifting the future of the Naruto universe.

From there, we tap into the growing excitement around Solo Leveling Season 3 — what fans should expect, where the story is headed, and how the adaptation might level up even further.

Then we get philosophical: what truly makes an anime “peak” in 2025? We unpack the storytelling trends, animation standards, cultural moments, power scaling, and community vibes that separate the great from the legendary.

And of course… much, much more — side debates, hot takes, jokes, and the usual Anime AF energy.

Episode 5 brings the heat as the hosts break down the latest chapter of Gachiakuta, where Riyo goes wild on the Raiders. Deratti puts CP da Ghost onto Darwin’s Game, and the crew talks through why "My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero's" is hitting right now.

They get into the best mentors in anime, debate which characters would become OP if they had access to different power systems, and wrap up with a hype discussion on who had the toughest battle entrance of all time.

This week on Anime AF Podcast, we dive deep into the latest Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapters — is Yuji Itadori really back? Then we unpack the quiet character glow-ups that spoke louder than words, the most disrespected protagonists in anime (and whether they deserve their flowers), and the heavy weight of destiny — from chosen ones to those who chose themselves and much more.

Season 2 of Anime AF Podcast kicks off with a bang! The hosts dive into the newest Jujutsu Kaisen: Modulo chapters 4 & 5, the long-awaited return of One Punch Man Season 3, and the first episode of My Hero Academia’s Final Season (Season 8)!

This episode unpacks justice vs power — what happens when heroes start acting like villains? The crew also debates why anime so often centers around orphans and outcasts, the wildest battle monologues, and the sheer awesomeness that is Toji Fushiguro.

Plus, a deeper look at how anime handles Black identity and racial inclusion even in worlds without Black characters — and some love for Gachiakuta and Campfire Cooking in Another World With My Absurd Skill.

It’s a full plate of anime talk, laughs, and insight — Season 2 is officially here!

This week we dive into why “found family” hits so hard in anime, how trauma is handled differently than in Western media, and why so many protagonists start as orphans or outcasts. We also explore how anime reflects Black identity even without Black characters, and whether anime worlds are really metaphors for our own struggles.

Plus — we review Chapter 2 of Jujutsu Kaisen: Modulo, break down the absence (and hopeful return) of Yuji Itadori, and much more.

In this weeks episode we break down the hype for Demon Slayer’s Infinity Castle Arc release in the States and the new Jujutsu Kaisen “Modulo” short-series manga. Then we dive deep into anime philosophy: Is justice subjective? Do heroes cause more harm than good? Are rivalries toxic or necessary? Does power always corrupt? And what does freedom really mean in anime and much more.
