Possibly The Best Magical Anime of 2026

This week, we're skipping the news and just talking about anime we actually care about.

First, Witch Hat Atelier. The animation is gorgeous, the magic system is one of the best in years, and that cliffhanger? Brutal. Season 2 is confirmed, but the wait is going to hurt.

Then Gary makes his case for Ascendance of a Bookworm Season 4. WIT Studio is handling the animation now, and Gary thinks this is the best the series has ever looked. He makes a compelling argument.

And of course, we dabble in Mushoku Tensei at the end.

Listen now and tell us who's right.
