Christmastime is almost here, and there’s a Gundam coming down everyone’s stocking in the new year! A pleasant surprise, for sure, and a good tiding of cheer in the wake of Crunchyroll changing the rules of their “awards” show in totally inconspicuous fashion that has nothing to do with a certain show airing this year about aliens and ghosts. And along with that, there are some fun movies coming out (and some that are not-as-fun), some notable dub casts announced for the new year, the Rascal dub situation is FINALLY mostly sorted out after an entire year, and a look at how the manga sales went for the year and who’s at the top of the mountain for 2024 – along with much more, with one more show to come before the new year.
It’s going to be Jump Festa. Call it a late Christmas gift from all of us to all of you.
EDITOR’S NOTE: Well, this took a lot of time to get together, didn’t it? Apologies for the delay, this was recorded over a week ago and it’s been a particularly rough week, so that’s why it took so long to get out. Depression and burnout are some real bitches, let me tell you.
