·1 hr 57 min·5 clips

Crunchyroll's survey says 44 percent of U.S. anime viewers want more female protagonists.

They open with a meandering stretch of banter, herbs, singing cartoons, and the familiar feeling that the room is circling a few ideas before any of them fully land. The conversation then shifts into Dune, where one speaker says the books are worth checking out but probably too sprawling to adapt in full, and another gets into Dune Awakening's Steam numbers. That is the most concrete reporting in the episode. The game is treated as doing well, with very strong concurrent-player counts and a sense that its player base may keep growing. One person still plans to wait for a sale, which fits the show’s practical, bargain-first tone. From there the panel moves to Batman. Matt Reeves comes up quickly, along with Hugo Strange and other darker comic-book possibilities. The crew sounds curious, but not reverent. Joker 2 gets a blunt little swipe on the way by, and X and Trump's gets a brief shrug. The conversation keeps its loose hangout rhythm even when it is being skeptical. It closes with the usual sign-off energy and a tease for episode 81 in early July.

As heard by us

A loose fandom hangout that stays engaging, even if the middle wanders a bit.

Otaku Jump #80 stays relaxed as it moves from Dune Awakening's strong Steam showing to Batman and Matt Reeves' take on that universe. The episode has an easy, roomful-of-opinions feel, helped by speakers who are clear about what they have and have not played or watched.
