It's the second week of the Month of My Hero and we are excited to talk about some not so heroic characters. This week, Travis and Ant will be combining their wits to assemble the definitive power ranking of the League of Villains from My Hero Academia. Slasher salamanders, spooky tooth, and seriously that one quirk is just so freaking broken... we all know which one I'm talking about.
IT'S ALMOST HERE!!! The next season of My Hero Academiais just around the corner, so what better way to get hype than to dedicate an entire month to it! Don't forget - spooky season starts this month as well. You might be wondering what hero you want to cosplay as this Halloween. Well, have we got the list for. This week, Ant has come up with his list of the best Pro Heroes from lamest to coolest to help you decide which ones are in, and which ones are totally not. Best in show, mysterious cool guy, and who let Ant make a list?... this is going to be a disaster.
Everyone hates on One Punch Man's second season, but is it as bad as everyone says it is? Travis and Ant know the answer. Tune in this week to hear the second part of our discussion of the anime about the most overpowered character to ever be conceived. Animation malfunctions, harder hitting humor, and what was that finale?
ONE PUUUUNCH!!!! A phenomenon that swept the world upon release, in a time when quality anime was sparse. Travis, Ant, and returning guest Aven Wakkuri discuss the amazing series of One Punch Manin a two part installment. This week, the crew will be focusing on season 1, and what made it so awesome. Next time, when they discuss season 2, they might be less excited. Intense workouts, super-powered cyborgs, and can a rock be a villain?

Episode 19, the 19th episode, and the episode of our lord aught 19 I do declare... we really like episode 19.
Do you like The Nightmare Before Christmas? Do you love One Piece? Ever wondered what it would be like if they had a baby? Travis and Ant discuss another arc of One Piece, this time focusing on Thriller Bark. Spooky trees, hate-able villains, and why was the horror themed arc so freaking funny?
We all all love class 1-A, but what does my favorite character say about you? Well, wonder no longer! This week, Travis and Ant will give you the cold, hard facts of what your favorite class 1-A student say about you? Remember, these aren't opinion; it's fact... not really... but they are... People who look both ways before crossing the road, the super edgy skater bro's, and the King of the Kyle's.
We're literally ranking every anime we've ever seen. And by that, we mean every anime that Travis has seen. Ant's list would make for a great 5 minutes short. Lil' gangsters, first impressions, and how many hours would it take for me to binge every anime?
We went a little long on this one, but hey... we love One Piece! This week, Travis and Ant go over one of the greatest arcs in all of One Piece, Water 7. Better animation, powerful foes, and why did this arc make me cry SO FREAKING MUCH?

Everyone has a favorite main character, sure. But do we ever stop to think about the main characters that are just absolute garbage? Well, we do!

Split personalities, the power of friendship, and someone PLEASE explain to me how he can dual-wield, because I still dont get it.
Everyone's got a favorite main character, even if that anime isn't their favorite. We just cant deny the likeable qualities of those little trouble-maker/ law-bringers. We want to present these characters to you in a more interesting way though. Travis and Ant are join by returning guest Aven Wakkuri to discuss their favorite main characters in a competition-style discussion. Travis and Aven take turns trying to convince Ant that their choice of main character is better than the other. Since Ant hasn't seen as many anime as his counterparts, this should be an interesting debate. Macho buff guys, evil-eye tyrants, and seriously who let Ant have an anime podcast?
Everyone loves the Straw Hats... but would you really want to bunk with them? This week, Travis and Ant discuss which of these fun loving crew members would be the best first mate in a roommate situation. Stolen food, ragers every night, and can someone please get these goblins out of my basement?
Travis and Ant return to talk about one of their favorite running animes out right now, Black Clover.With the show now having a few arcs under its belt now, we decided to rate them (Spoiler alert, they're all pretty good). Background barking, crappy sub-plots, and this is where you boys become men!
Have we got an amazing anime for you! With all the buzz around the new Demon Slayerbeing adapted into an anime, we had to see if it lived up to the hype. It did. This week, Travis and Ant discuss the new anime Demon Slayer up to the, as of now, most recent episode by looking at the plot, characters, theories, and a MAJOR plot hole. Demonic vendettas, masked mentors, and NEWS FLASH: YOU CAN'T BREATH UNDERWATER!...or can you?
You all know what we're talking about. Sometimes, the main characters just fall short in our memories, leaving only the greatest side characters left as our favorites.

Interdimensional sword attacks, three-sword style sword attacks, and if I choose scissors while playing rock, paper, scissors, does that count as a sword attack?

Travis and Ant introduce a new type of episode series - Overrated/Underrated! In these episodes, the hosts will discuss the most over and under rated things about things in anime.

Speed readers, over-used archetypes, and Jump Force is basically the anime version of Super Smash Bros.
