Wrapping up our "B3" coverage is a part 2 that is all about DLC and dream announcements!

Tune in to find out and stay locked on the pod because there is a BONUS EPISODE this week! Thank you all for listening and enjoy! 

With no official E3 this year (or probably ever), Wes, Demetrius, and Syed decided to take matters into their own hands not by revealing a bunch of stuff but by reviewing the state of the gaming industry as they see it! Join the boys across multiple episodes as they give their takes on Remakes, Remasters, Re-Releases, Indie Games, and more! As always, you can follow us @bebop_banter to see what we...

Start your weekend off right with a brand new episode of Bebop Banter! This week, the boys look into a new LEGAL manga app and look at a couple of interesting takes from Crunchyroll and Anime News Network concerning some of the most popular shows out there right now! Thank you all for listening and see you next week! 

Syed is BACK so the only way to celebrate is by seeing what he has been doing during his month+ off!

With Syed gone for one last week, Wes and Demetrius FINALLY decided to make good on an over-a-year-long bet: Both have Watched Beastars and Zombieland Saga and both have some (relatively spoiler free) thoughts. So kick back, relax, and let us know your thoughts on each series (or other series that you think get a bad rep from stigmas)! As always, thanks for listening and see you all next week! 

Down Syed again, join Wes and Demetrius this week as they break down the Spring 2023 anime season (a few weeks after it has started).

With Syed out for the week, Wes and Demetrius decided to run back an episode type that hasn't been done in a long time: The highlight type of episode. In this case, though, join them as they discuss an app/website that not many people may know about: MangaPlus. This IS NOT a sponsored episode, but tune in to hear about how it differs from other legal apps (like the Jump app), what series are...

After a few longer episodes, the boys decided to record a quick hitter on things they've been doing in March! Join Wes, Demetrius, and Syed as they discuss the games, shows, channels, and more that have been taking up their time and look forward to a run of shorter, easier-to-digest episodes in the coming weeks!

After a few weeks of delays, the second (and final) part of our Katsucon 2023 live(ish) series of episodes is available!

Instead of part 2 of our live Katsucon Episode (the reason for the delay is in this week's pod), the boys have decided to take on a more recent topic: The 2023 Crunchyroll Anime Awards! With the awards being based on the series from Fall 2021 through Summer 2022 (that's right...NO FALL 2022 SERIES), were the boys able to guess right? Were there any surprises? Did the right series win Ani...

A little over a week ago, the boys went to Katsucon for 4 days! Now, relive that experience with Wes, Demetrius, Syed, and a special guest as they talk about the first two days of their experience.

It's been a while since Wes, Demetrius, and Syed have done an episode like this but with Katsucon coming up next week now is a good time to bring back the convention hype episodes!

We will be on break next week for travel purposes so look...

Trigger warning: This episode touches on topics of bullying, suicide, depression, and more.  This week, join Wes, Demetrius, and Syed as they break down a series that has really recently moved them: Taizan5's "Takopi's Original Sin." The short series took Japan by storm while touching on very real and very heavy topics, but does it end with a message that everyone can get behin...

It's that time of year again when the community comes together to fight over which series from the past year reigns supreme! In this episode, join Wes, Demetrius, and Syed as they react to (almost) all of the categories in the Crunchies (call us to use the name Crunchyroll). Head to our social media pages for a list of picks, comment with your own, and look forward to the eventual reaction ep...

This week, as Wes, Demetrius, and Syed look towards writing more in-depth episodes, the boys decided to get together and put a cap on 2022!

With the Winter 2023 anime season kicking into gear, the boys have something to take care of: A 2022 year in review! Of course, the year is too packed with news/releases to fit into one episode so join Wes, Demetrius, and Syed in this first 2022 review episode focused ENTIRELY on the season that was Fall 2022. See you next week as we discuss the other major reveals, returns, and more from 2022! 

Happy New Year to all of our listeners! With a new year comes a new anime season, so the boys are jumping right into it with a look at the 2023 anime season!

After trips, holidays, and a look at the big three (again) delayed this episode, we are FINALLY releasing the follow up to our October "Haunted Hot Takes" episode. Join Wes, Demetrius, and Syed as they discuss some hot takes in the anime community and hey, what better time to maybe start some arguments than the holidays! We will be on break until the new year, so see you all then and tha...

The boys are back after a week break with the FINALE of the "Anime Over/Under 2.0" big three-focused mini series! They've done One Piece, they've done Bleach, and now they're talking about the only one that is technically completed: Naruto! Did Wes, Demetrius, and Syed underrate it? Where does Naruto's score stack up compared to the other two, both amongst the three h...

This week the boys continue their revisiting of the big three by taking a look at the anime adaptation of what has traditionally been their least favorite of them: Bleach! Do they still "hate on" the series? How do their scores stack up with the scores of the community? Tune in to find out AND make sure to stay to the end for a discussion about the series as a whole that just might surpr...

The boys are BACK with a brand new series that's reviving an old episode concept: Anime Over/Under - One Piece! Before all that, though, the boys decided to highlight a few NOT SPONSORED anime deals as the holidays approach. Now, what makes this an Over/Under 2.0? Well, join Wes, Demetrius, and Syed as they break down the anime adaptation for One Piece, score it, talk about community hype lev...

THE BOYS ARE BACK with a nice and lengthy episode on all things from their absence! Tune in this week to hear about how they've been tackling the fall anime season (including what has and hasn't caught their eyes), what else they've been watching/playing, and where they went/who they saw during their extended break. As always, thank you ALL for listening and you can look forward to...

Wes, Demetrius, and Syed have probably not hyped a series up IN THE HISTORY of this podcast as much as they've hyped up Chainsaw Man. From the initial run of the manga itself to the trailers and the manga's return the boys have done nothing but gush about this series which begs the question: Does this premiere hold up? Sit back, relax, and get ready for what might be one of our most cont...
