Yo, what is up, boys? How's it going? And welcome back to another episode of the Rank Cafe Anime Podcast.

Today we're talking about anime. Recon made me watch the first episode of every anime coming out in winter 2025.

And...

Every episode?

No, the first episode of every anime coming out in 2025. Is that what I said?

Yeah, but like seriously, every anime that has come out so far?

No, no, I didn't. I've watched, I just spent the last two days. I've watched like 11 or 12 shows so far because a lot of the shows that are high, like, I mainly wanted to focus on the top 20 to 30 like most popular according to any chart and

so far a lot of the first episodes haven't come out for some of the shows like 100 girlfriends

first episode hasn't come out or i may be a guild receptionist but i'll solo any boss to clock out

on time first episode hasn't come out so i kind of went in order for the most part.

Actually, that's not true at all. Anyway, let's just go through the anime that I ended up watching

and we'll talk about it. But honestly, Rikon, I don't know how you do it, dude. There is so much

trash. There is so much bad anime every season. It's ridiculous. I'm not going to lie.

Like this season in particular, a lot of the first episodes for, like, the newer shows were

really whack.

I don't know.

Is this really how we're going to start 2025?

That's crazy.

Yeah, man.

But I feel like you do this a lot.

There's no way.

I think every season has like a couple gems.
