On this episode of the CaliConBlogCast, we return to a more "traditional" bracket to determine our Anime of the Year! Will the two anime winners from Crunchyroll and Reddit be anywhere near the top? Will it somehow end up being the "shounen bracket?" And can Jeriko get redemption for Mushoku Tensei? Plus we open the show by paying our respects to one of the GOATs in anime and manga and acknowledge the existence of Persona 3 Reload DLC.
