#270: The Peak Tape

June 26, 2024 • Shonen Tapes • Season 7 • Episode 270

This week, we're discussing Defining Peak Moments in Anime; or at least our favorite ones. These are the scenes that left us speechless, crazy battles worth rewatching, and the moments that stuck with us far after they were over.

What really is Peak? Is that phrase thrown around willy-nilly? Usually it’s the climax, but honestly not always. It could be huge moments of character development, or crazy pay-offs to long term story telling.

Do you agree with our picks? What moments really made you step back and think DAMN - this is peak? Let us know in the discord or YouTube!
