In this episode of Anime Minority Report, hosts Jamie and Guerby throw hands (verbally, of course) with the critics claiming Windbreaker is... boring. Is it really mid, or are folks just missing the point? The internet says it’s too soft for a delinquent anime—where are the busted lips, broken noses, and existential fistfights we were promised? Jamie and Guerby unpack the vibes, the character arcs, and whether softness and street fights can coexist. Expect hot takes, unexpected laughs, and just the right amount of chaos. If you’ve been side-eyeing Windbreaker or need someone to validate your anime angst, this episode is for you. Tune in, debate with us in your head, and remember—just because it’s not Tokyo Revengers doesn’t mean it’s not worth the ride.

Is the Crunchyroll Anime Awards just a glorified popularity contest? Or… was it rigged for Solo Leveling?! 👀 In this episode of Anime Minority Report, Guerby and Jamie unpack the fan outrage, messy voting politics, and the cultural clash between Japanese and Western anime tastes. From spicy hot takes to laugh-out-loud moments, they break down: • Why everyone and their senpai is mad at Crunchyroll • Whether Western voters are skewing results • What anime is actually running the streets in Japan vs. America

It’s chaotic. It’s hilarious. It’s kind of educational (but mostly petty). If you’re tired of anime award shows playing in your face, press play.

Warning: May cause sudden outbursts of laughter and unsolicited anime debates.

In this episode of Anime Minority Report, we’re asking the real question: Is it more believable to fight demons with friendship—or fall in love after one awkward group project? Comedian and fellow anime head Nic Sugiarto returns to help us settle the score: Slice-of-Life vs. Shounen. Host Jamie is deep in his romance era, bingeing titles like My Dress-Up Darling and I Married the Girl I Hated in Class. Meanwhile, Guerby still thinks slice-of-life anime is just anime without plot (rude). Can Nic and Jamie convince him to finally give heart-eyes and hallway crushes a chance? Expect laughs, wild takes, and one very serious debate about which genre is the real fantasy. Spoiler alert: it’s probably the one where high schoolers actually communicate their feelings. Tap in for the chaos, the comedy, and the unexpected feels.
