You are thrown into battle and for the next 2.5 hours you will be a witness to what is arguably the flashiest and most-cutting edge action shounen of the modern era.

- Glazing studio ufotable, Director Haruki Sotozaki, and Mangaka Koyoharu Gotouge
- How the show host, once a hater, became a fan
- The problem with flashbacks
- SPOILER TALK on 28:24 (talking about plot and critiques)
