·1 hr 26 min·2 clips

"Finally, an anime for 40-year-old stunted man-children" — Tojima Wants to Be a Kamen Rider comes from Air Master's author.

1. Anime World Order Podcast episode 246 is a Halloween-season roundup of the fall 2025 anime season, theatrical anime releases, and the death of game designer Tomonobu Itagaki. 2. Hosts Gerald Rathkolb, Daryl Surratt, and Clarissa trade recommendations and complaints, with Daryl pitching the shows he calls the most dangerous of the season. 3. The central recommendation is Tojima Wants to Be a Kamen Rider, which a host calls "finally, an anime for 40-year-old stunted man-children" and which comes from Yokosaru Shibata, author of Air Master. 4. In Tojima, a 40-year-old sells his Kamen Rider merchandise and then discovers that Shocker exists in the real world, which the hosts compare to Samurai Flamenco, while his fellow fans include a woman with a professionally made Kamen Rider Stronger costume. 5. The hosts tie the series to the availability of Kamen Rider from Discotheque and Shout Factory, the simulcast of Kamen Rider Zest on YouTube at 10:30 p.m. Saturdays, and the news that TV Asahi says the 49th Super Sentai series, Go-Juger, will be the last. 6. They praise Sanda, by Haru Itagaki, daughter of Baki creator Keisuke Itagaki, a Prime-only series where a future without Christmas sets up a girl named Fuyumura who stabs a classmate to test whether he holds the spirit of Santa. 7. On One Punch Man season 3, the hosts defend the director against online harassment, argue that "cost can also mean effort expended" in explaining season 1's standard, and note that J.C. Staff took over from Madhouse after Mob Psycho 100 ran three seasons. 8. They also react to the new Cat's Eye, which they like because the lead "is the dumbest" man in the show and the three thieves are never recognized, and they hope the French live-action version matches the French City Hunter movie. 9. The hosts list a crowded theatrical slate of Chainsaw Man in IMAX and 3D, Demon Slayer, a Perfect Blue re-release, Angel's Egg on November 19th, Virgin Punk on November 11th and 13th, and a KPop Demon Hunters sing-along, and complain about the Crunchyroll-to-Fandango ticketing process. 10. Fans of anime and tokusatsu who want season picks and industry chatter will enjoy this one.
