FLAVOR TEXT: Fire Emblem

in , , ,

The Fire Emblem: two words that have been a shield, a group of weapons, and a song. Legendary heroes, dragons being revived to start and/or end a war? This series has it all. And before you ask, yes there are child soldiers. Feast your eyes on this full album of uniquely named characters that aren't just our favorite Smash Bros characters: https://imgur.com/a/kvMK0XT.

Special thanks to Dr GarlicButter, who would certainly never start a war with a neighboring country in search of the spirit of a dead dragon. If what YOU want is to commission your own FLAVOR TEXT, check out our Patreon page at patreon.com/debatethiscast.

FLAVOR TEXT: Avatar: The Last Airbender

in ,

Naruto. One Piece. Dragonball. My grandmother used to tell me stories about the old days, a time of peace when The Big Three kept shounen anime fans together in harmony. But all of that changed when Nickelodeon attacked.

Avatar: The Last Airbender mastered all the elements: A collection of juvenile misfits forming a found-family, a journey of growth and self-discovery across the globe, and a mischievous but lovable boy saving the world with the power of friendship and cool ninja powers. AND, this was all being created by a Western studio. Only Avatar: The Last Airbender could save the world from the ruthless otaku claiming Western animation was not real anime. But when the world needed Avatar: The Last Airbender the most, it vanished.

Thirteen years have passed, and the boys at Debate This! have re-discovered Avatar: The Last Airbender. And although the world and its characters are great, it still has a lot to learn before it's ready to save a sub-standard premium streaming service. But we believe Avatar: The Last Airbender can save the world.

in , , ,

Wealth. Fame. Power. The hosts at Debate This!, the King of the Podcasts, had acquired this and everything else the world had to offer. And their dying words drove countless souls to the Debate This! Patreon page: "You want my treasured content? Fine, you can have it. Just pay us $50 a month and we will talk about whatever the hell it is you want! Now you just have to ask it."

Welcome to the ongoing saga of Andrew's journey to catch up on One Piece, a landmark anime series notorious for both its exceptional quality and its 20+ year (and still going) run. In this first episode, we dive deep (haha, get it??) into the East Blue saga, which consists of the first two years of the show's run.

This episode was commissioned by Derek Harper, long-standing member of #butthwompnation and confirmed Better Of The Two Harpers. If you want to commission your own FLAVOR TEXT, check us out on Patreon at patreon.com/debatethiscast!

FLAVOR TEXT: Studio Ghibli

in , , ,

The Spooktacular Express decided to give us a break from the madness and dropped us off in the idyllic Japanese countryside to talk about the whimsical world of Studio Ghibli. Instead of diving real deep on one IP, our latest commissioned FLAVOR TEXT instead highlights ten of the studio's most well-known films across their 35-year history. We'll go through the setting and major themes of each movie, and then the initial beats to set up the story completely spoiler-free. Just watch at least one of these movies and you too will be asking yourself: Where has hot anime birdman Christian Bale been all my life?
