·57 min·2 clips

"I'm always more about consistency. I don't care if it's over the top, as long as it's consistently over the top."

1. Rant Café Anime Podcast covers the Summer 2025 anime season by going down the popularity-sorted chart, beginning with Dawn to Dawn season two. 2. Host Briggs is joined by Jordan, introduced as "the anime dude," and Recon, who describes seasonal anime as "my area of speciality." 3. The hosts judge shows from titles, trailers and synopses alone, and plan to watch as many popular first episodes as possible and report back the following week. 4. They note Dawn to Dawn season two feels like "season one, part one," and that its first episode is "crazy weird," with an opening that doesn't match Creepy Nuts' first one. 5. My Dress Up Darling season two is described as a cosplay rom-com, and the hosts disagree over whether anyone cares about Gojo, with Briggs insisting "everybody's in it for Marin." 6. Gachiakuta from Studio Bones follows a falsely accused man thrown into a trash pit who becomes a hunter fighting monsters, and Briggs calls it a likely underrated pick of the season. 7. The Sakamoto Days debate covers a bullet stopped with chopsticks and one redirected with a gumball, and one host prefers action that is "consistently over the top," like Gurren Lagann. 8. On Shield Hero season four, Recon calls season one a "banger" and season two "shit" for animation downgrades and skips, while season three improved after the original director stepped back in. 9. The hosts also tease the seventh-prince isekai sequel as generic, with Recon owning that he watched season one, and consider a Grand Blue live-action movie night with drinks and "Vamos!" 10. Seasonal anime viewers deciding what to watch will get the most from this episode.
