TV: You are going to hate this next question, because I’m gonna ask you to rank your top five anime of all time.

CK: [Gasps.] I can’t. I can do the top 500 of all time. Just like the top five is a loss. I can’t, I can’t rank them. I’ve seen a lot. Like, just now, I listed off more than five. [Laughs.] And I love, like, I love every single one of these.

TV: You have to!

CK: Okay… I’m thinking of the ones I saw recently, like literally in the last year. Don’t judge me if I miss anything! These are based on the ones I’ve seen in the last year or six months.

Okay. Number five. Fresh. Blue Lock. I really love sports, you know?

TV: I love that you’re leaning into sports.

CK: Yeah. Representation! But it is odd because that [and Haikyu!!] are really the only two sports ones I’ve seen. But I really like them!

Fourth place. I’m gonna have to give to… Ah, this is so hard! I actually hate that I have to do this. Fourth. I’m gonna go with Pokémon. It means a lot to me. Okay. Then. I’m gonna go with — honestly, hot take — One Punch Man. I just love having it on in the background. Number two, I’m gonna say Hunter x Hunter and one, Demon Slayer, just because it’s coming out soon. That’s why I’m excited for it!

TV: Can you also give us your top three anime movies of all time?

CK: Princess Mononoke. Then we’re gonna go with, honestly, the last Haikyu!! movie. Haikyu!! The Dumpster Battle. That was insane. Like, I cried my eyes out. And then it might just be Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba The Movie: Infinity Castle.

TV: In your opinion, what’s the best anime song of all time?

CK: Honestly, “The Flower Garden” from Howl’s Moving Castle. I love that song so much, it brings me so much joy.

TV: Last pick. What are your favorite anime characters of all time?

CK: I don’t think I can answer this as it’d be way too long, and I refuse to choose between all my favs!

TV: We will give you that pass.

TV: If you could live in an anime universe for a day, which one would it be? And do you think you’d be a villain or hero in it?

CK: Oh! I just watched one recently. This is gonna be so, so random. It’s about a girl who was reincarnated, and everything fluffy loved her. It’s called Fluffy Paradise. It’s one season. It’s probably going to have to be that universe because I love animals, and the idea of every animal loving me is kind of my dream. And I’ll be a hero in it. I have to be the girl who has that power. But also, there are dragons in this world.

TV: But dragons are not fluffy.

CK: Maybe they are. How do we know that? Maybe the winter dragons are fluffy!

TV: You would make them fluffy?

CK: A thousand percent. You should watch it. It’s really cute. There’s no real story, but it’s really cute.
