About this episode
Yo ho ho! It's time for a special episode! We're joined by our friend Tyler to talk about The Big Three shonen anime: Bleach, Naruto, and One Piece. We've all got a whole lot to say as we dig into what made these three shows so big and enduring. Do they hold up? What makes a good shonen anime? How is the fashion in Bleach so good? Are three swords better than one? Why is the second episode of Naruto like that? And where the hell is Kakashi? All this and so much more on this extra long episode of Under the Kotatsu.
CW: Discussions of sexual abuse and fatphobia
Anime Discussed: Episodes 1-3 of Bleach, Naruto, and One Piece
Next time: Eden of the East, Episodes 1-5
