Hosts LeAlec Murray, Haley Whisennand, and Alex Lebl have a LOT to say after SDCC 2025, and we’re breaking down Demon Slayer’s recording-breaking opening weekend in Japan, the anime winners at the 2025 Collision Awards, Crunchyroll’s Anime NYC schedule, the anime titles coming to theaters for Anime Nights this fall, and more. THEN, hosts debate whether the Naruto or One Piece universe would win in a fight and share your anime vehicles of choice.
