Class-1A

Today, Brennan and Meth discuss the current anime controversy about the screen writer of Boochi the Rock changing the original manga for the anime and all the implications for anime as a whole.

Send us Fan Mail

Today, Brennan and Meth have their first and most passionate couples' argument about One Piece lore yet, as Brennan is caught up to the show. Truly, who can know if their relationship will last beyond this...also Franky's voice actor is retiring (insert crying emoji here). Demon Lord 2099 is trash, don't every watch it (according the never-wrong critic Meth). Look forward to the Win...
