As we enter the halfway mark of 2022, let's look at some of the year's top anime. Sequels like Attack on Titan and Kaguya-sama have dominated aggregate rankings, with some highly anticipated manga adaptations like My Dress-Up Darling and Spy x Family breaking through the mainstream as well. It's been a pretty fun year, and we do a little retrospective on the best anime that have made it so.

As we brave winter's chill, we talk about the best anime of the season, the worst anime of the season, and maybe everything in between . . . Alright, not everything, but we try! More specifically, we talk about My Dress-Up Darling, Sabikui Bisco, Fantasy Bishoujo, Akebi's Sailor Uniform, the new seasons of Kimetsu no Yaiba and Princess Connect, and more! ➤ Link to...

That's right. A Sopranos podcast before the year ends. Woke up this morning, got yourself a pod. We're talking the fuckin' regular-ness of life, whistling in the wheat fields, the best onion rings in the state (as far as some are concerned), and the fact that Quasimodo predicted all of this. In the midst of death, we are in life. Or is it the other way around? Either version you're halfway up the ass.

This week, we talk about the beloved classic anime Cowboy Bebop that made its way into our hellscape reality via Netflix, also known as Cowboy Bebop. But more live action. And less Ed.

Here at The /r/Anime Podcast, we make it a point to complain about aggregate ratings when we disagree with them. And few ratings are as undeservedly low as those of SSSS.Gridman and SSSS.Dynazenon, two spectacular anime in a bizarre universe full of cheesy callbacks of near-forgotten vintage kids shows, Studio Trigger creative brainblasts, kaijus tied to psychological drama, and... really hot girls. You'd think everyone would love it, so in this episode, we do our best to make sure you do. ➤ Lin...

Heike Monogatari flew way under the radar this season, but this collision of Yamada Naoko and Science Saru, two of the greatest creatives in the industry, absolutely should not be missed!

Ooh, 2sp00ky. It's the Halloween special... which just means we review a bunch of first episodes again. But the anime this season are--gasp!--pretty good, so why stress and scare yourself this holiday when you can have a bunch of sweets instead. Unless one of them is Mushoku Tensei or "the kid from 86" flavored or something. That would suck. ➤ Link to the Discord server - https://discord.gg/vrzhhjA ➤ Follow us on twitter! - https://twitter.com/tokyopodfathers ➤ Past Episode Mp3s - https://tokyop...

It all started with a broad but fun topic--what anime have we seen that left no impressions, even after completion? What are such "pointless" anime, and why did we bother putting up with them?
