In this episode of the Anime AF Podcast, we’re showing love to the anime sidekicks who hold it down like main characters. From Vegeta’s relentless grind to Zoro’s unshakable loyalty and strength — we’re talking about the ones who might ride shotgun but still steal the scene.
We also take it back with a deep dive into some nostalgic anime and cartoon classics that shaped our childhoods. Whether it's Toonami legends or Saturday morning heat, this segment is a vibe for the 90s and early 2000s heads.
And finally — we go full villain mode. From calculated masterminds to chaotic demons, we run through our personal picks for the greatest anime villains of all time and break down why their feats hit different.
🔥 Sidekicks. Nostalgia. Villains.
