The Anime Alchemists Podcast. This week, we're tackling industry upheavals: Crunchyroll's switch to a new dubbing partner, the viral debate over One-Punch Man's animation, the shutdown of Manga Planet, and what the One Piece hiatus really means for the live-action show.

Then, we take on our most important mission yet: creating the essential anime watchlist for the "Bunnielord." We make the case for classics like Code Geass, underrated romances like Golden Time, and the undeniable hype of Shangri-La Frontier. Tune in for the definitive guide to fixing an anime watchlist.
