The holidays are rapidly approaching, and so is that odd time of year for the seasonal anime viewer where the Fall shows have ended and Winter anime hasn’t yet begun. What ever is a weeb supposed to do!? Well, fear not, Best Buds! Best Boys Dan & Justin are here with another installment of Seasonal Spotlights! This time around, they’ve got two shows you might have missed, but would definitely be worth checking out, especially if you’re searching for something to watch before the start of our Winter slate of anime. Is Do it Yourself just Yuru Camp with power tools? Is Bocchi the Rock! simply Komi-san with a guitar? Absolutely not! Tune in to find out why you shouldn’t be missing these shows! As usual, the Best Boys have also got some banter for you (Chainsaw Man anyone??) followed by some anime news (heard about Pokemon yet??) so join The Best Buds as they shine a light on a few gems you might have missed!

In the back-to-school spirit, Best Boys Dan and Justin are taking some time to explore the most dreaded force in the galaxy: The Anime Student Council!

Before that, though, they’ll bring you a hefty chunk of Gundam banter and all of the breaking anime news you crave, including long awaited Black Clover release updates.

Before that, though, they've got a heaping helping of banter for you, including more My Hero Academia than you can shake a stick at, followed by all the anime news you crave!
