Best of 2024 - Anime
Well this year was long and really, I spent too much time watching anime so this will probably be the only list this year, but if you want to hear the joy and further explanations for why Lindsay and I picked what we did, please listen to the episode on Spotify. I won’t be posting all the categories so if you want our special categories we do, you’ll have to listen to the episode.
Otherwise, here’s our list counting down and remember there’s two picks because we’re two people!

Review: Twende – Season 1
By Dustin Cabeal
To review Twende is to first admit that I did not watch Twende on the streaming service Showmax which produced the thirteen episodes that make up the first season. I have however become obsessed with Showmax’s programming and originals and hope that they soon find themselves stream outside of the forty-four African countries they currently stream in. This is all just a way for me to say the internet is a wonderful place in which you can find things from other countries and watch them, but I have no way of legal way of recommending Twende to you and there in lies the rub. Because I desperately want more of this show, my children want more of this show.
I will save you the marketing breakdown, a simple search of the show’s name will bring that up over and over and out of some form of giving back I will link to the show’s page here. Twende is the character’s name, his best friend and navigation bird’s name is Nuru, and they drive a motorbike taxi, but in reality, it breaks from that instantly. That is one of the best things about the show, while this is the first season, it is so polished and familiar that it comes across like a third or fourth.
The first episode barely establishes what the characters do as one of the drivers for the company is preparing for a stunt jump and our main character Twende must step in for them because their allergies are too much. No one is picked up by taxi… both company’s drivers are training for the stunt, and this is never annoying or disappointing.
Let's Anime 225 - It's Citrus Zest - Summer First Episodes - Part 2
Welcome, welcome! We did that thing where we finish watching some more first episodes. Well Dustin did, Lindsay only watched 4 more shows and they're all pretty terrible. Dustin has another 12. Gonna be a lopsided episode.
Here's what we cover: Bye Bye Earth, Days With Me Stepsister, The Elusive Samurai, A Journey Through Another World: Raising Kids While Adventuring, Love Is Indivisible by Twins, The Magical Girl and the Evil Lieutenant Used to be Archenemies, Mayonaka Punch, My Deer Friend Nokotan, Narenare - Cheer For You!, No Longer Allowed in Another World, Tasuketsu: Fate of the Majority, Why Does Nobody Remember Me in This World, Wistoria: Wand and Sword.
