Show Notes
In this episode of The Red Comet, we dive into the future of anime with a rundown of the most hyped new series dropping later this year and into 2026. But it wouldn’t be The Red Comet without a little chaos—so brace yourself for a spontaneous isekai rant as the crew debates whether the genre is officially on life support (spoiler: some of us are done with it).
We also get into the world of anime's worst (and somehow most iconic) deadbeat dads—who made the list and why are they still so unforgettable?
Then we shout out the best single-season anime that stuck the landing and left a lasting impression. Just because it only got one season doesn’t mean it didn’t slap.
And to wrap things up, we play our fan-favorite game Fact or Fiction.
