This week, I introduced my wife Christina to Season 1 of Tokyo Ghoul — and let’s just say... Kaneki’s journey hit way harder than expected. From coffee shop dates to torture scenes, we break down the highs, lows, and psychological chaos of this iconic anime.💬 Did she love it? Was she traumatized? We talk favorite characters, emotional moments, and whether she’s down for Season 2. (Spoiler: she's still recovering from that scene...)👁️ Join us for laughs, deep thoughts, and married anime bonding time.👇 Drop a comment with what anime I should show her next!
The final 3 episodes of Fire Force Season 3 brought the HEAT… and a few too many rewinds. We break down the flaming highs, frustrating lows, and why we feel like we’ve seen some of these scenes before... a lot.Meanwhile, Wind Breakers had us sprinting through emotional peaks, but tripped on its pacing like it forgot to tie its storytelling shoes.🔥 Is great animation enough to save uneven endings?🧠 Are flashbacks becoming anime’s favorite crutch?⚔️ And what would Shinra and Umemiya do if they had an editor?Let’s unpack the hype, the drag, and the fire behind the flash in this no-holds-barred review.
This week on Anime Gaiden, we crank up the heat and sharpen the steel:Fire Force Episode 8 – The squad takes a hot minute to redefine what “fighting fire with fire” really means. Also, Tamaki hits us with a side-eye that deserves its own spinoff.My Hero Vigilantes Episode 7 – Pop Step’s stirring up more than trouble, Knuckleduster continues his quest to uppercut everyone's emotional baggage, and Koichi still can’t catch a break—or a villain.Yaiba: Samurai Legend First Impressions – Katanas? Check. Gritty revenge plot? Double check. Unnecessary shirtless training montage? You bet.Oshi no Ko – Tokyo Blade Arc – This play has more behind-the-scenes tension than a reality show. Lines get crossed, hearts get tested, and Aqua might just be out-acted for the first time.Hit play, grab your snacks, and let’s dive into another week of anime chaos, character growth, and questionable decisions.
In this action-packed chapter of Anime Gaiden, we dive into the explosive world of Fire Force, where episodes 6 & 7 take us through more fiery battles and emotional depth. Then, we jump into My Hero Academia: Vigilantes, reviewing episodes 5 & 6 as the stakes rise for our vigilante heroes. Plus, we explore the highly anticipated Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuux with our first impressions on the first 6 episodes. What’s working, what’s not, and what can we expect from this exciting new Gundam series? Tune in to find out!
In Anime Gaiden Chapter 6, we’re stirring the pot — and it’s bubbling over.
We start with My Hero: Vigilantes Ep. 3 & 4, where the debate is getting HEATED: is Koichi actually better than Deku? The squad’s split, the arguments are spicy, and the vigilante justice has never looked cleaner.
Then we dive into Fire Force Season 3, which delivers real physics, unexpected laughs, and somehow brings Don Quixote into the plot?! It's part science lesson, part soul-searching odyssey, and we’re here for all of it.
Finally, our first impressions of Witch Watch (Ep. 1–4) leave us in limbo. It’s clever, fast-paced, and delivers on entertainment… but when we tried to rank it using our power scaling system, it short-circuited the whole tier list. Where does this show even fit?!
🔥 Fire. Fandom feuds. Fuzzy logic.
Watch it, question everything, and join the debate in the comments.
This week, we’re diving into the first wave of new episodes from the spring season. Fire Force Season 3 (Eps 1–3) – Shinra’s back with that holy rage, the animation's cooking, and the story’s finally picking up steam. Also, why is everyone shirtless again? My Hero Vigilantes (Eps 1–2) – Koichi’s sliding into the spotlight, Pop Step’s got chaotic idol energy, and Knuckleduster might be our new favorite unlicensed adult. Vigilantes already feels more grounded than the main show. Wind Breakers (Eps 1–3) – Street fights, emotional damage, and surprisingly wholesome gang drama. Sakura throws hands and character development at the same time. We break down what hit, what flopped, and what’s worth sticking around for. Less recap, more spicy opinions. Hit play, rate the chaos, and let us know which show’s owning your watchlist.
This week on Anime Gaiden, we’re diving jaw-first into Solo Leveling Season 2, where chins are sharp enough to cleave dimensions and the glow-ups are unreal. Then we slide—quite literally—into the wild world of Sakamoto Days, where the fights are reckless, the colors are LOUD, and even your local convenience store might explode.Expect cheeky banter, unfiltered hype, and plenty of love for over-the-top animation and oddly lovable assassins. Whether you're here for the plot or just for the beautifully animated punches, we’ve got you covered.New episodes every week – follow for more anime antics, hot takes, and animated absurdity!
What happens when you mash together the superhero bloodbath of Invincible (is it even anime?) with the sweaty, gum-smacking fever dream that is Ping Pong the Animation? You get an episode filled with duck tongue dilemmas, existential paddles, and more graphic bodily destruction than a Mortal Kombat fatality reel.Join us as we break down the gut-splattered brilliance of Invincible, the unconventional artistry of Ping Pong, and why both shows prove that sometimes, the best animation is the kind that makes you deeply uncomfortable. Chew with your mouth closed this one's gonna get messy.
We're sinking our teeth into Attack on Titan with a full series review—and trust us, our takes are spicier than ODM gear at full throttle. Expect some bold (and unpopular) opinions, thoughts on Levi’s honey-smooth flavor, and yes... somehow chicken feet make an appearance. Don't miss this titan-sized episode!
Anime Gaiden - Chapter 1: Dragon Ball DaimaWe're kicking off Anime Gaiden with a dive into Dragon Ball Daima! From the good, the bad, and the oddly chibi, we’re breaking down everything—questionable animations, snack pairings, and whether this series is a bold new adventure or just Shenron granting the wrong wish. Expect constant back and forth, shameless nostalgia, and a few hopes for the future (because let’s be honest, we’re watching no matter what).
