Third Impact Anime Episode #158 – Best Anime (and some others!) of 2024

Happy New Year, I say through gritted teeth. 2025 is certainly off to a, well, ya know what. No comment. Let’s talk about anime. 2024 had some pretty good anime! Austin and Bill take a Tatsuki Fujimoto’s Look Back at the year to talk about some of our favorites that we finished, a couple things we sampled and enjoyed but didn’t complete, and a couple things that didn’t quite make it into the favorites list. Grab a box of shika senbei, sit back, and enjoy!
