King Of The What Now?

It's a brand new review series that will run alongside our One Piece review. Join your hosts as they tackle Tropical Rouge PreCure one episode at a time! In this first episode we discuss the OP and ED of the series, first impressions, and our love of the two main characters. It's a season with lots of bright colors, mermaids, two enthusiastic dorks, and most importantly, punching!

Prepare yourself for a five-host crossover event! For your convenience, we have a few timestamps: 10:50- Joel's pitch for One Piece x Supergiant's Hades 29:15- John's pitch for One Piece x Demon Slayer 54:54- Trey's pitch for One Piece x Super Sentai 1:16:19- Franz's pitch for One Piece x Jim Henson's various works 1:33:47- Kat's pitch for One Piece x PreCure 2:02:22- Final thoughts began And of c...

It's time to dive into Black Clover! Many deride it for being such a cliche story, but actually, we really really love it, and deeply defend this shonen series. We love the Black Bulls, Asta is great in a specific Asta way (he respects elders, he views life as a gift and says so, he believes in pretty much everyone!), and we all want Yami to be our cool uncle, and maybe JULIUS NOVACHRONO can be ou...

For the August Bonus episode, Kat and Joel watched different seasons of Pretty Cure, producing an episode of bonus content for each stretch of 7 episodes. Joel watched Star Twinkle PreCure, and Kat watched KiraKira PreCure A La Mode. This is the 8th and final installment of that series, in which we watched PreCure Miracle Universe, and had @Raptorianxd join us to add some much needed perspective o...

Chatting with the Hosts starts at 2:31   Joel is Drawing again! Well, we say that, but he made it through a total of one drawing before breaking his streak again. But check out his art account on Twitter if you want to see him trying to practice.   We're still riding the PreCure train. And we'll never disembark! We're currently watching Go Princess PreCure (oh my gosh the girls- and especially Paf...

Chatting with the Hosts starts at 3:47 Chainsaw Man You want fast paced action? You want a head-empty teenager main character who acts like a teenage? Check it out, it's great. Power is best girl, obviously. Kamen Rider Drive- Kat really really really likes it! The costume is great, and it's pretty much Super Sentai meets Hot Wheels. Some More News It's a left-leaning news-ish comedy show, but if...

Chatting with the Hosts starts at 2:03: My Next Life as a Villainess - This show instantly captured Joel's heart, and all of the characters are so cute! The first season has completed and we'd recommend it. Fruits Basket - a rema ke of a Shōjo anime, with transforming animal people? It's more likely than you think! If you want a re laxed-pace slice of life, this might be for you. Full Spectrum Pod...

Madoka Magica is famous for its subversion of the Magical Girl genre. It explores themes of hope and despair, and delves a little deeper into these themes. It also had a sequel movie and a spin off gatcha game that's recently been adapted into an anime! The important time stamps: 33:24- Our discussion of the Madoka Magica Movie 1:00:40- Our discussion of Magia Record We discuss all three, why we l...

Chatting with the Hosts starts at 2:12.5 Kaguya Sama Season 2 If you enjoy a good laugh, this just might be the show for you. It's gut-busting good, and the laughs only hit harder in season 2. Pre Cure - Pre Cure is really great! Watch Pre Cure, and be sure to support the legally available Healin' Good Pre Cure on Crunchyroll. We love, love,  love Star Twinkle Pre Cure and Kira Kira Pre Cure A La...

Pre Cure - please, we're begging you. Watch Pre Cure, and be sure to support the legally available Healin' Good Pre Cure on Crunchyroll. We love, love,  love Star Twinkle Pre Cure and Kira Kira Pre Cure A La...

Chatting with the Hosts starts at 2:42 Gyllian Flynn's Gone Girl - a very well written psychological thriller. Kat did not care for the movie adaptation, but it does exist if you prefer a movie to a book. Is It Wrong To Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? - Not Joel's favorite, but he did appreciate one particularly memorable scene near the end of the first season. Paramecia Cast - we were invited on as g...

It's the first episode of season 5, and boy do we have a lot to cover! It contains our first ever commissioned piece of music- which has become our first musical outro,   Chatting with the Hosts starts at 00:06:14.5: Mashin Sentai Kiramager- heck yeah, it's good! Unfortunately there aren't any legal streaming services through which one can watch this show in the United States. Joel especially enjo...

With everything that is happening right now, we just wanted to inject some humor into the world. Stay safe, fellow adventurers, from both the COVID19 pandemic, as well as from any danger arising in your area related to the protests against police brutality. Black Lives Matter, and the best way we'll make it through this is together, watching each others' backs.

We learn about the Four Emperors, some government secrets, the New World...

Chatting with the Hosts Starts at 2:49. Haikyuu – Kat really likes it. Joel is lukewarm, so far, but they'll continue to watch No Game No Life – too much fanservice for some, but good world building. It's interesting to see how the heroes win their battles. The Overly Cautious Hero – Isekai parody series. It's laugh out loud good! Main episode starts up at 11:42 We bid goodbye to Merry, the Straw...

Chatting with the host starts at 2:35 Joel and Kathryn have started Tokusatsu. Though they're lukewarm on Kamen Rider Ex Aid, they love Ressha Sentai ToQger. So all aboard as they gush about that! We also talk The Subtle Knife , the second book in the  His Dark Materials Trilogy. Joel also talks about his love for JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Battle Tendency , as young Joeseph Joestar has and always...

Chatting With the Hosts starts at 9:13 What sort of shows are we planning on watching? Kathryn is interested in Haikyuu , as she has never gotten into sports, and Joel wants to start Gintama , having heard great things. We also talk about Cautious Hero , which plays off of the tropes of Isekai ("Trapped in Another World") genre, and Madoka Magica , which plays off of the tropes of the magical girl...

We have a mega sized episode to finish out 12 days of KotWN bonus episode! We talk about previous bonus episodes, we talk about Christmas and how some of its ideas might lend themselves to the One Piece world, and we talk about looking ahead to future episodes and our New Years Resolutions! But perhaps most importantly is our charity fundraiser to help find a cure for Type 1 Diabetes. Donation pag...

This bonus episode takes a wider look at shonen battle anime, of which One Piece is just a single (and arguably best) series. We talk Dragon Ball Z, Naruto, Fairy Tail, History's Strongest Disciple, Bleach, My Hero. We discuss the tropes we enjoy from these series, as well as what makes the best rival and antagonist characters. So take off those training weights, prepare the forbidden technique yo...

Join us for our first ever guest appearance from none other than the internet's Grant , host of both the Super Sentai Podcast as well as the Blade Licking Thieves podcast . We don't have a specific topic of conversation, so we chat about lots of things: Tokusatsu, isekai anime trends, Evangelion (which is, definitively, not a mecha anime), Fruits Basket as well as Full Moon Wo Sagashite . We're th...

In the last bonus episode with Curtis, we tackle the 4 novella science fiction series The Murderbot Chronicles by Martha Wells. It stars an introverted security bot (sec unit) that discovers it may care more about its human companions than it had once believed. And corporations are too big to fail and are putting the lives of their employees at risk. It's a story of directly exploring emotions, an...
