In this episode, Kyle and Dr. Applesauce dive into the chaos behind the scenes of podcasting—tech meltdowns, missed uploads from getting sick, and everything creators never talk about. But that’s just the warm-up.The real discussion starts when they shift to the anime industry’s breaking point, unpacking the struggles inside studios like One Punch Man, the rise of “hope-bait vs rage-bait” content, and how parent companies quietly decide which anime thrive or die. They explore why live-action adaptations keep failing, how fan service shapes reception, and why originality matters now more than ever.The conversation then zooms in on My Hero Academia’s final season—how the animation quality affects emotional payoff, the evolution of viewer habits, and what MHA’s legacy might look like in a world begging for accurate live-action adaptations. It’s a raw, honest breakdown of where anime stands today… and where it’s heading next.
