·1 hr 1 min·2 clips

Briggs lifted weights during every Hajime no Ippo opening as a scrawny 14-year-old and decided to join the varsity teams.

1. Rant Café Anime Podcast spends this roughly 61-minute episode walking through Briggs's top-100 favorite anime list, covering numbers 1 through 13 in the portion available. 2. Briggs hosts and says he has seen "three to 400" anime, while Jordan, who goes by "the anime dude," reacts to each pick and tries to "roast" the list. 3. Briggs's thesis is that his favorites are shows he wants to re-watch years later, and he notes his top six (Kenichi, Hajime no Ippo, Steins;Gate, Food Wars) all feature a romance that "actually goes somewhere." 4. Kenichi sits at number one because its hero overcomes every obstacle with no talent, and Briggs says he watched it "at the perfect time of my life." 5. Briggs describes lifting weights during each Hajime no Ippo opening as a scrawny 14-to-15-year-old, and Jordan recalls getting a D in PE in third or fourth grade and doing push-ups after watching Dragon Ball Z. 6. Briggs reveals he spent seven or eight months teaching grades nine and ten and is now teaching a grade 12 economics class, which he links to GTO's teacher-student story. 7. Briggs and Jordan disagree on One Piece: Briggs says the anime "became unwatchable" because 10 minutes of a 20-minute episode were recaps and opening, while Jordan defends One Pace and the Dressrosa-era manga. 8. They debate Food Wars, with Briggs saying the ecchi "enhances the series" because it works as "power scaling through orgasms" for taste reactions, and Jordan agreeing it is integrated into the cooking competitions. 9. Briggs defends No Game No Life at the top 10 by saying he watched it three times in a year and a half, saw the movie in theaters and bought the light novels, and he calls Overly Cautious Hero so funny he cried laughing. 10. Anime fans looking for recommendations and friendly list debate will enjoy this episode.
