  • Weekly Anime Recap - Last Two Weeks
    Jul 10 2025

    We are back again and are catching up on two weeks of content.... its summer so we can't be held too accountable. We have some returning kings this week and some new anime overall that we are pumped to tackle. So we kick it off with the fantastic Dan Da Dan season 2 episode 1 (2:00). Followed up by Gaichikuta ep 1 (12:00) and then the confusing but very good Lord of Mysteries ep 1-3 (22:05). Kaiju no 8 Hoshina's day off (39:05) makes a quick apperace as we launch back into To Be Hero X ep 14 (39:40). Witch Watch gets the most recent two episodes covered (ep 13-14)(51:35). Followed up by the merciful ending of our Hate Watch segment as we cover the end of the miserable Lazarus ep 12 (1:08:15). As always the goat One Piece ep 1135 (1:16:20) finishes out the day.
