MAPPA dropped the Jujutsu Kaisen Season 4 Culling Game Part 2 trailer AND the Chainsaw Man Assassins Arc trailer at their 15th anniversary, and the crew goes to war over one question: has MAPPA finally passed Ufotable as the best animation studio in the game? Plus a full Giannis to the Heat breakdown, a Steph Curry to the Cavs debate that nearly broke the pod, ReZero climbing to the number two rated anime of all time, and House of the Dragon dragon picks gone very wrong.

Spoiler warning: the JJK, Witch Hat Atelier, and ReZero segments touch current arc territory. We flag the heavy ones, but tread carefully if you are anime only.

In this episode:

• Giannis traded to Miami: does it fix the Heat, or just make them a top five roster with no shooting?
• Steph Curry on the Cavs: would he win the chip, or does swapping out James Harden not fix the real problems?
• JJK Season 4 Culling Game Part 2 trailer: the storyboarding, the Megumi shot, 10 million views in a day
• Is JJK the best produced anime ever? We rank it against Demon Slayer, Frieren, Fate, JoJo, and Mob Psycho
• Chainsaw Man Assassins Arc trailer: can Season 2 hang with JJK, or is the bar just too high?
• MAPPA vs Ufotable: quality versus quantity, and who actually deserves the crown
• ReZero hits number two on MyAnimeList: deserved or reaching? Plus why people quit on Subaru
• Streamer University: should you quit your job for Kai Cenat? (no)
• An NBA media take so bad we had to defend Kendrick Perkins
• Witch Hat Atelier Season 1 finale, Lord of Mysteries Season 2 getting 40 episodes, and House of the Dragon
