Freshmen's Log When? 2026 Nani? Freshie Awards Why? Keeping it Fresh It's that time of year again when we host the annual AF Freshie Awards and turn our expert caps backwards a la Ash Ketchum when he's about to once again choose the worst suited Pokémon for a crucial all-out battle. In line with this year's Crunchyroll Anime Awards, we'll let you know who will, might, won't, and maybe even can't win their respective categories, making sure that, with man like @jaysamzlive from @shownentell in the cut (appreciate you bro), the takes are spicy, the verdicts are potentially crazy, and the vybz Gachiakuta. I vote Deku for Crybaby of the Decade Every effort is made to keep spoilers to a minimum.

Episode #142: Meet the Modafockas
Afrikan Families are a Treasure, but not for the weak. So much so that 'laughing at the pain' is an unofficial right of passage. But how do these experiences mesh with the medium that is Anime? We let our imaginations run wild like Jujutsu Kaisen trying to coherently explain how someone's powers work and go in some unexepcted directions. Shout out to our Sis @JayjaySweetsz for coming through and sprinkling the vybz with a pinch of chaos. Every effort is made to keep spoilers to a minimum.

Episode #141: What If Love Isn't a Ship
In this heart‑fluttering Valentine’s Day special, we dive deep into the world of anime romance—from the most iconic confessions under falling sakura petals to the messy, chaotic love triangles that keep us glued to the screen.

Grab some chocolates, cozy up, and join us for an hour of pure anime affection. Every effort is made to keep spoilers to a minimum.

In this age of AI, we are faced with the dilemma of the Total Machine Takeover.

Bonus Episode - Finite Castle
The words "the final phase" keep crossing our minds. Of course they do. It's 2025 and Muzan finally let us in to the most bombastic, physics defying, and confusing place of residence in all of fiction. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle is upon us. We went to watch it to bring you back the feels, the top-tier animation, on top of the sword play action that made us wait for so long. Shout out to the water tribe, if you know you know, cue the Upper Moon 4 strumming her biwa (yes, we're cultured) and join us on this multidimensional escapade.

Episode #139 - Anime Eras Ft ShowNEN Tell
Ranking different epochs in the history of Anime isn't for the uninitiated; it requires the wisdom of an Arataka Reigen, the battle prowess of a King from One Punch Man, the pathetic capacity to cry on demand of a Hanagaki Takemichi, and the incredible usefullness of Rock Lock's ability.

Lets keep it 💯, we love our community. So much in fact that Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask's relationship would in comparison be reclassified as a platonic friendzone mixed with Bible study taking place at a rundown car wash. As the Anime Freshmen, we are take pride in our expert knowledge of all things anime, and it's put to the test this time round with our Brothers and Sisters sending in their questions for us to answer. Is Tanjiro's head made of a yet undiscovered element? Can Titans get pregnant? Will Rising of the Shield Hero ever come off of life support? Where in the AOT universe does Onyankopon come from? We ponder anime's greatest mysteries. Every effort is made to keep spoilers to a minimum.

Episode #137 - Dressy Dressy Fun Fun
This episode is long overdue, because we've all seen a cosplay so on point that we instantly thought 'NANI'?!?', and we almost got GTA6 before getting to deep dive into the Grand Line that is Cosplaying. And to get that in-depth, expert perspective on what it means to turn imagination into a life-sized Tanjiro with Nezuko in box, we had to get the Cosplay Royalty that is @Folacosplays, with all the tips, tricks, and vybz that we know and love her for, showing why it's not just a costume, it's a passion. Bonus points if you can guess which of the Freshmen have cosplayed before; Clue: He likes Anime and goes to the theatre. Every effort is made to keep spoilers to a minimum.

On the Mount Rushmore of the UK Anime Community, the Anime Freshmen have rightly earned our place as trailblazers, and the annual AF Freshie Awards continue to lead the way, much like Rock Lock set the standard for the term 'useless power' in My Hero Academia. We once again take a look at this year's Crunchyroll Anime Awards and give it that London twist, with our brother Big Miko pulling up and getting involved in the chaotic analysis that we hold near and dear to our hearts.

Episode #135 - Summoned to Another World During a Podcast Recording and It’s All Going Horribly Wrong!
What happens when anime podcasters get sucked into not one—but three chaotic fantasy worlds ruled by spinning wheels and terrible life choices? In this special episode of Isekai Roulette, our hosts become the unfortunate heroes (or villains?) of randomized realms, armed with bizarre powers, cursed roles, and only podcast mics to their name. Expect wild world-hopping, questionable decisions, and magic systems we barely understand. Whether it’s battling slime gods, negotiating with undead kings, or trying to find Wi-Fi in a dungeon, this is isekai madness like you’ve never heard before.

Captain's Log: As we journey through the Anime Super Highway, We find ourselves wondering about life's greatest mysteries. The most elusive to date is how many anime are on our Watchlists, and will we keep adding on series? (Yes, we will). The list grows ever longer, especially with the new releases coming up in the near future; and yet, we must also still look to the past for those we've promised to watch and have left to the side like seasons 2 and 3 of Rising of that shield hero.

From Fame and Fandom to Final Forms, from Hollywood to Hidden Leaf, do celebs really Go Plus Ultra for Anime? Main Episode: In this episode, we are talking about celebrity anime fans and what we think about them bringing anime to the “mainstream” Do we feel these people are legitimately into anime or is it for ‘clout’? How would we gauge if it's genuine? Have we seen any celebs getting involved in the anime community? Do we know if they show up at conventions? Do they only do stuff if it's paid? How would we express our anime fandom if we were a celeb? Are we loud with it or under wraps? Would it influence the work that we take on? Every effort is made to keep spoilers to a minimum.

Episode #127 - Skynet Reviews: Hinamatsuri
“Calling all cars, calling all cars. Be on the lookout for another Skynet Review episode, approximately drunk with power and making picks at random...” We close out this edition of Skynet with an anime that defies expectation, logic, reason, and plot. No description does it justice. A girl and her father, mixed with powers and comedy somehow. We present Hinamatsuri. Every effort is made to keep spoilers to a minimum.

Episode #125 - Quiz Night V: Quizzabolical Quizmetition
A hallowed tradition that reigns supreme within the Freshmen lore is a Night of reasoning; a meeting of the minds; a parlay of perspectives. We call it Quiz Night. Once again, the Freshmen test their Anime credentials against all challengers in a serie of challenges, this time against ourselves. How it went? If you win, you live. If you lose, you die. If you don’t fight, you can’t win. Every effort is made to keep spoilers to a minimum.

Episode #123 - Baki x Kengan
How many times can you bench press a helicopter? Can you karate chop a giant elephant to death? Will you fight sperm whales for no reason? Has the concept of Death been retired in your universe? Do you enjoy completely disregarding and rewriting the laws of physics & nature? These are the questions that both Baki & Kengan Ashura ask separately, and having come together for a special crossover, now demand be answered. If the fighting was wild and OTT before, get ready for pure foolishness. This ish is crazy. Every effort is made to keep spoilers to a minimum.

Episode #122 - F__kin dWeebs!
We love our community. Even when it includes those that are uninitiated into the Anime is Life movement. So it's with the Power of Friendship that we have our sisters from the After Eight Podcast on today's episode. Who doesn't watch Anime? After Eight don't. And we needed to have a serious discussion about why they've forsaken the path that potentially leads to a lifetime of dWeebiness. We dWeebed the f__k out!!

Episode #120 - Ranking of tings (pt 1)
The Anime Freshmen ranking system is as old as Old Man Yama, and as revered as Rock Lee's ankle weights. Our Brother Gerrd adores it so much he said we either use said ranking system or he'll snitch on us to Muzan. Strong words indeed. Nuff said. In this episode we rank things in anime. Yes, you heard right. THINGS. That's how much we love you. Also, someone makes a historic comeback. Cue Anime Freshmen snap. Every effort is made to keep spoilers to a minimum.
