We're you at some point or another convinced that onigiri were jelly donuts? Perhaps you thought that Sanji from One Piece had an oral fixation with lollipops? Well, you too may be a victim of a 4K!ds anime localization and be eligible for compensation. Well maybe not that last part, but Best Boys Dan and Justin sure do have a tale for you this week. Join The Best Boys on a deep dive into the history of 4K!ds and it's anime localizations. If you watched anime on TV as a kid, there's a pretty good chance you're familiar with their work, but it's time to take a peek behind the curtain at the Sordid History of 4K!ds!

It may be the most spooktacular month of the year, but on today’s episode of The Best Boys, Best Boys Dan and Justin have something a little lighthearted and silly for you! In the spirit of Halloween, take a deep dive into the hilarious dumpster fire that is the English dub of the 2001 anime adaptation of Ghost Stories. You may be familiar with the show through short reaction video clips on social media of a raunchy and offensive English dub that can’t possibly be real. Not only is it real, but the Best Boys have sorted through the details of how it came to be. So shove your head into a pumpkin, or whatever we do on Halloween, and let’s get a little ridiculous!

This week on The Best Boys, Best Boys Dan and Justin have a new entry into their examination of demographic categories for anime and manga. Up for discussion today, the most often overlooked and under-appreciated category: Josei. Whether or not you're in the target demographic for Josei, there's something here for you to learn when it comes to how anime and manga are marketed. Before we've got some One Piece centered banter, Best Boy Justin gets cancelled for fat shaming a cactus, a hefty segment of Numbers with Dan, and of course, all the latest and greatest of anime news. So cozy up to the record player with a mug of mulled wine for a very mature and nuanced (lol) episode of The Best Boys!

Unfortunately, this is not the episode where Best Boy Justin reads a 10,000 word thesis on the history of ketchup. On this episode of The Best Boys, Best Boys Dan and Justin take some time to catch up on some anime that had fallen by the wayside. Before that though, we've got a Manga Corner with Best Boy Dan, a soapbox rant about Witch from Mercury courtesy of Best Boy Justin, and of course a healthy serving of Anime News from Studio WEEB!

Pull up a chair (or cushion or something) and have a seat for a rousing game of shogi with The Best Boys! What is shogi you ask? You didn't?! Well Best Boys Dan and Justin are gonna tell you anyway! Some people refer to it as "Japanese Chess" while others hate that particular moniker. The truth, as is so often the case, lies somewhere between these extremes. So grab your drunken elephant and sit in a form-perfect seiza while The Best Boys breakdown the history and culture surrounding the game of shogi and its connections to anime!
