Anime

Anime coverage built for people who actually watch the shows, not just skim the trailers. NerdSnack tracks new season and movie release dates, confirmed English dub casts, studio and staff changes, and the plot beats worth knowing before you press play — without spoiling everything past the premiere. Expect release-date guides for currently airing and upcoming series, rankings of the villains, movies, and story arcs fans argue about most, and deep dives into what makes a long-running franchise’s newest chapter worth (or not worth) clearing your week for. We also cover the food side of anime: what characters like Goku and Luffy actually eat according to canon, and how to try dishes like Ichiraku-style ramen at home. If you want to know exactly when a season drops, whether the dub is confirmed, or which classic arc is worth revisiting before a new adaptation lands, this is the section for that.
