Welcome back, lost souls, to another exciting episode of Otaku Time Machine! This week, our lovable time-traveling machine decided to veer a little off course and away from our classic anime series.

Find yourself a nice hot cocoa, a warm blanket, and maybe even some potatoes and molasses, as we soar into the spooky-season show of Over the Garden Wall!

*** SPOILERS AHEAD***
The time has come. The score will be settled. The champion will finally be crowned. We are of course talking about the powerhouse anime films from 2025: Demon Slayer Infinity Castle Arc pt. 1 and Chainsaw Man The Movie: Reze Arc. These two films alone carried the weight of the box offices around the world, amassing more than $750M globally so far. There is not argument that both anime films made quite the splash in theaters. But which really came out on top? Frankfurtter and MagicallyAverage conclude their debate on this topic and give their final thoughts on both films. Let final battle commence!!

Ok ok ok, what the heck are "anime tourists"??? For starters, it's not referring to people who travel to Japan just for the anime culture. This term is not new to the anime community nor is the issue that stems from "anime tourism," but with the boom of content creators since the pandemic and short-form media being the most popular to consume, it's not surprise why some in the community are getting a bit overwhelmed. Frankfurtter and MagicallyAverage provide their two cents on the topic in this week's episode, covering everything from the online clash of anime content creators to dissecting the real reason why people despise anime tourists.

There's always been something special about seeing an anime in theater. For Western audiences, it was a treasure getting the chance to see your favorite series shine on the silver screen if only for a limited time. Today, it seems like anime movies are becoming more and more common, so much so that some series are using them as finales for the show! Frankfurtter and MagicallyAverage spend the episode dissecting anime films and highlighting why they are more excited for the Chainsaw Man: The Movie - Reze Arc than the remainder of the Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Arc ones. Strap in, this is gonna be a wild episode this week!

*** SPOILERS AHEAD ***
And so, our journey begins. Three films to wrap-up one of the most popular anime over the last 6 years. There have been many ups throughout the series, and certainly plenty of downs. Probably more downs than people would like to admit, but I digress. The first installment of the finale trilogy received immense hype across seas, with fans touting it as being the best anime film they have ever seen. So, has the Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle movie retained its infamy and truly blow us away? Don't worry, we won't be obtuse like IGN and simply give it a 6/10 for being "clearly incomplete." But be prepared for some harsh and, quite frankly, warranted criticism from Frankfurtter and MagicallyAverage on this special BakaBites episode.

After what felt like MONTHS of Frankfurtter teasing a surprise for MagicallyAverage, we finally get the reveal: he watched Orb... hooray... Not like MagicallyAverage has been screaming about this anime ever since it aired or anything, but yeah, cool, great, glad Frankfurtter finally watched it. But yes, today's BakaBites episode is a surprise Otaku Time Machine drop where the bakabois review Orb: On the Movements of the Earth. Has MagicallyAverage's favorite anime of the award season made an impact on Frankfurtter? Or has it completely fallen flat? And yes, those were my attempts at astrological puns o((>ω< ))o

Frankfurtter will take us through all of the recent manga, light novel, and comic(????) announcements from publishers like Seven Seas, Yen Press, Kodansha, and Dark Horse.

It's a bird! It's a plane! Well, no, actually, it is a plane, it just has a bunch of weebs on it for some reason... If you're confused, fret not! This week, the bakabois cover a number of hot-off-the-press items from Crunchyroll, including a partnership with Delta to put anime on your next seatback entertainment system when you fly! The duo also covers some recent layoffs out of the Crunchyroll offices (boooooooo). And to top it all off, some wild news from the Demon Slayer English dub that will undoubtedly shock you. Trust me, this was not on our 2025 bingo card whatsoever ⊙﹏⊙∥

***TRIGGER WARNING***
Look, sometimes the truth hurts, OK? We love you all dearly and care very much about you, but gosh dang y'all can be quite stupid at times, you know? So prepare yourself cause this week MagicallyAverage has finally lost it and is not holding back. In fact, Frankfurtter doesn't even try to stop him; he just sits there and let's it happen. Unbelievable... Oh, they bakabois also talk about an alien octopus who transcended the anime ranks to become king. Look, there's a lot happening, OK? Just make sure you're sitting down for this one cause it's gonna be a lot. You've been warned!!!

And to top it all off, Vshojo has shut its doors after practically all of their signed vtubers left the company after not being paid. We've got a TON to cover, so sit back and enjoy this week's chaotic episode!!

Tune in to listen to their early rankings on this season's anime, and make sure to let us know what's on your watchlist this Summer!
