Beyond the Blur - Episode 5: The Anime Draft & The Biggest Menace in Anime & Gaming
🎙️ Hosted by: Big Manny, Ray Rack, MKJ Digital, and (possibly) Izreal Segment 1: The Anime Draft (Main Event) Rules & Setup: Each participant drafts five anime to build the ultimate team. The draft follows a snake format (Manny picks last in Round 1, first in Round 2). No variations of the same anime (e.g., DBZ and DBS can't both be picked). 30-second pick timer (if you miss, you make up the pick later). One “Panic Pass” per player (adds an extra 30 seconds to a pick). Live Draft Begins: Reactions to Each Pick: Trash talk, debates, and reactions. Biggest Reach vs. Biggest Steal: Who made the smartest pick? Who wasted a slot? Mid-Draft Chaos: Any surprise picks? Someone playing it too safe or going full wild card? Post-Draft Analysis: Who has the best squad? Who has the worst? Which team is the most well-rounded? Which team has no business winning? Who just lost all their anime credibility? Segment 2: The Worst Anime Character to Have as a Roommate Each panelist picks one anime character that would be an absolute nightmare to live with. Possible picks: Hisoka (Hunter x Hunter) – The most uncomfortable roommate of all time. Bakugo (My Hero Academia) – Screaming all day, wrecking furniture. Sukuna (Jujutsu Kaisen) – Might just murder you for fun. L (Death Note) – Sleeps weird, only eats sweets, never showers. Shinji (Evangelion) – Cries every day, too much emotional baggage. Who wins for worst roommate and why? Segment 3: Who is the Biggest Menace in Anime & Gaming? Who is the biggest problem in their universe? Who just doesn’t care about consequences? Some Candidates: Dio Brando (JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure) – Villain energy on max. Black Air Force Goku (Dragon Ball Super: Goku Black Arc) – Straight disrespectful. Griffith (Berserk) – We don’t even need to explain. Trevor Phillips (GTA V) – The embodiment of chaos. Sephiroth (Final Fantasy VII) – Who burns down a whole village just for backstory? Yhwach (Bleach) – Stole people’s powers in their sleep just because. Johan Liebert (Monster) – No powers, just pure evil. Who is the most dangerous? Who is the most disrespectful? Who causes destruction just for fun? Segment 4: What Anime/Gaming Character Would Get Canceled? In today’s world, who would get exposed and immediately lose everything? Some possibilities: Master Roshi (Dragon Ball) – Too many questionable moments. Mineta (My Hero Academia) – No explanation needed. Kefka (Final Fantasy VI) – A literal terrorist clown. Seto Kaiba (Yu-Gi-Oh!) – Rich guy who probably committed financial crimes. Doflamingo (One Piece) – Bro was on Fox News level corruption. Kazuya (Rent-A-Girlfriend) – The most down-bad human ever. Who gets canceled first, and how bad is the backlash?
