Hello readers, and welcome to an all-new AniWeekly! This Tuesday, millions of residents in the United States will file into their polling places to cast a ballot for president of the nation (plus numerous other initiatives). It’s an important time, and one that’s sure to be on the minds of many as we enter the new week.
For now, though, we’re here to step away from the stress and insanity of the election cycle to bring you a heaping dose of anime fun.

Tonight, we’re taking a moment to celebrate Funimation’s new Nichijou license. LoneSaiyan115’s BaBOOM!!! blends the kinetic energy of the show with, of all things, a perky Game Grumps audio remix. Trust me. It works better than it sounds.
