Welcome back to The Shonen Shojo ShoShow, where anime rants, side quests, and deep fandom feelings collide.

In this episode, Pino Mack and Pauly kick things off with classic nonsense (ramen metaphors included), shout out international listeners, and immediately derail into a nostalgic side quest about MTV, 90s jingles, and lost music video culture. From there, things get real.

⚠️ SPOILERS AHEAD ⚠️
Pino unloads long-simmering frustrations about the My Hero Academia epilogue, from Deku’s ending to dropped plot threads, Iron Man energy, and romances that never paid off. We talk epilogues, endings, and why “predictable” doesn’t always mean “satisfying.”

We also mix in:

• 🍸 Pino’s Potion (Someone gets their mind erased)

• 📚 Fujoshi corner with a deep dive into Cherry Magic

• 🎶 Crunchyroll’s surprise music video drops

• 🧟‍♂️ Godzilla Minus Zero hype

• 🎥 Anime on the big screen (Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, Space Dandy)

• 🌀 Paul’s anime picks, including Frieren, a Fate Stay Night spin-off?, and new Chinese animation

As always: anime talk, heartfelt opinions, chaos, and side quests guaranteed.
