I am your House Peter. 7 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,320 On today's episode we got a fun one and it's been what I've been 8 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,640 waiting to do for ever since we actually got the nominations for 9 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,440 this. We are recapping and I am blind 10 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,040 reacting to the Crunchyroll Awards. 11 00:00:38,480 --> 00:00:41,080 Awareness came out and I have been cut off from social media 12 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,040 and discord for two days in order not to be spoiled. 13 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:48,560 So in my steed we got Miles, who will be curating today's 14 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,640 episode. Miles, why don't you tell the 15 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,120 people what we got in store for today's episode? 16 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,480 Yes, so one, I think this is a fun little switch from our like 17 00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,320 end of the year. What do you say anime things 18 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:03,720 where you know the answers and I'm you know and Pat and Cosette 19 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:07,680 are guessing, but here we get to see your reactions. 2. 20 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,920 This is a little fun for me because some of the shows you 21 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:12,960 were salty about getting so many noms. 22 00:01:12,960 --> 00:01:19,480 I am, I guess, oddly enough, a huge stand for SO Doesn't really 23 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:24,000 fit my normal profile, but alas. So a few things. 24 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,200 First, we won't be going over the foreign language categories 25 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:33,560 because other than English, because we didn't watch any of 26 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:37,160 those dubs and therefore cannot judge them properly. 27 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,920 But I did want to give the winners a shout out, you know, 28 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,480 just in case anyone was watching this and knew them or whatever, 29 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,160 and you know, not to exclude them entirely. 30 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,120 And then I'm going to do this. And then let's get into how 31 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,960 we're going to present this and a little game or two that I've 32 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:56,640 added because I love games, we all love them. 33 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,640 But for best, I'm going to butcher these names. 34 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,560 And I apologize if I do, but I don't know how to pronounce 35 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,280 Hindi names. For example, for best hint, no, 36 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,680 I don't. Hindi voice actor. 37 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:15,400 We have Law Hit Sharma in the role of Satro Gojo for JJK. 38 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,600 For the best Latin Spanish, we have Miguel Angel Leo for Aaron 39 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,600 Jaeger for Attack on Titan. The best Italian VA we have 40 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,480 Illinois. Oh God, Ilaria Pele Pelecon for 41 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:32,600 Kyomoto from look back, the best German VA, we have Daniel Slosh 42 00:02:32,920 --> 00:02:37,000 as Luffy from or Luffy even from One Piece. 43 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,160 I mean, I'm just like reading. I'm in like read foreign word 44 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,240 things. So I just like, yeah, caught 45 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:48,160 myself For best French VA we have Adrian Anton as Kafka 46 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:53,800 Hibino from Kaiju #8 and best Castilian Spanish VA we have 47 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:59,520 Masumi Mutsuda as Sung Jin Wu from Solo Leveling. 48 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:05,280 OK, so Pete and audience, the way that this is going to work 49 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:10,040 is I will show you, you know, who's on the screen as 50 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:14,280 nominations for the categories. If it is highlighted in a Blue 51 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,840 Square, that is a show that I voted for. 52 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,520 If it is in a Red Square, that doesn't show Pete voted for. 53 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,640 And if it's purple, that means we both voted for it. 54 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,800 Some of these categories you could, you could bet on if you 55 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:32,720 like, you could bet money. So I went and looked that up and 56 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,200 I just took whatever the favorite was like at the morning 57 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:41,360 of the day of the awards. And that only really changed one 58 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,560 category, like my arbitrary cut off because and, and I'll talk 59 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,640 about that when I get there. But if you see that it has a 60 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,320 little dollar sign in the corner. 61 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,200 And Pete, I know you're a gambling man, so you know, so I 62 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:56,360 thought highlighting that aspect would be, would be kind of fun 63 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,240 as well. I've also created three over 64 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,200 unders for you for the two shows that you were salty that got so 65 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:06,280 many noms and then for Free Rin, which is one of your favorite 66 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:07,200 shows? It is. 67 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,120 So, and I will just say real quick for anyone out there 68 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,560 that's listening, if you want to see our visual content, it's on 69 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,720 Spotify and YouTube. So if you are listening to us on 70 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,920 another platform outside those and you want to see visual 71 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:19,880 content, swing over to those two. 72 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,120 We have visual content there. Yes, and I will be doing my best 73 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,800 to highlight the things that aren't said like that. 74 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,960 I have visual cues for if you're listening, if you're an audio 75 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:35,280 only person. But if I forget I apologize but 76 00:04:35,280 --> 00:04:38,600 know that there is a video if you really care for whatever 77 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,400 reason what Pete or I voted. For. 78 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,560 OK, so let's get your over unders in really quick. 79 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:49,560 So I have these three set. I just sort of did it vibes 80 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,880 vibesy freer in. I have it 6.5 awards. 81 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:59,200 OK, I have Kaiju #8 at 2.5 and solo levelling at 5.5. 82 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,560 Would you like to let me know if you want to go over or under 83 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,800 these? Yeah, so like it's like with 84 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,400 Free Ren and the other two, what is like based off of my personal 85 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,600 opinion, like what I actually think should win and what I 86 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:17,200 actually think will win. So I think Free Ren should go, 87 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,360 but knowing the Crunchyroll awards, I'm going to go under 6 88 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:21,840 1/2 wins. OK. 89 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:26,400 For Kaiju #8 I'll go over 2 1/2 and for soul leveling I'll go 90 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:31,600 over 5 1/2. OK, I have your answer's down 91 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,800 and we'll see at the end how you did all. 92 00:05:33,840 --> 00:05:37,520 Right, right on. I hope I'm wrong, but I well. 93 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,240 There you have you have three chances to be wrong. 94 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:44,680 OK, so let's cross. So maybe you'll you'll be both. 95 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,120 All right. Now let's get to our first 96 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:48,080 category. Hell yeah. 97 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:52,360 We have best voice artist performance and this is the 98 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:58,200 English so we have 6 noms here. We have AJ Beckles as Okaroon 99 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:02,640 and Dan to Dan, Alex Lee as Jung Jinlu from solo Levelling. 100 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,640 We have Jesse James Grell is Armin from Attack on Titan, 101 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:12,800 Mallory Rodak as Free Run from Free Run, Sarah, NATO Chini as 102 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:19,240 Alia from Alia and Song Wancho as Shinchi from Dungeon Meshi. 103 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:25,840 Shout out to Percy you voted for Sung LAN Cho as Sinchi and I 104 00:06:25,840 --> 00:06:30,040 voted for Alex Lee as Sung Jean Wu. 105 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,960 Yep. Yeah, there's a this one I'm not 106 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:38,240 super strong on because I watch I would say 95% of my seasonal 107 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:43,200 animes in sub, but I did watch delicious and dungeon parts of 108 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:47,920 it in English and I loved pro ZD like I thought he was incredible 109 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,920 as a sun tin She. So that was my pick. 110 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,880 I really I'm a big fan of like Alex Lee in general, so if he 111 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,240 won, I'd be cool with that. This is one of those categories 112 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,320 where like I don't really have like a strong opinion on just 113 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:05,280 because I don't feel burst well enough to have like a strong 114 00:07:05,280 --> 00:07:07,000 opinion. I just like those too. 115 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,040 So I picked prosy D Alex Lee would be cool. 116 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,080 I feel like he probably will win because it's so leveling, but 117 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,000 you'll have to let me know. Yeah. 118 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,720 I guess what I would say is that if I were to, there was no 119 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,640 betting market for this one. But if there was, I would say 120 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,680 the two that you highlighted would probably be favorites just 121 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:29,560 because of their strong social media presence. 122 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,560 Pro ZD does talk about his VA performances and stuff 123 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:39,960 sometimes, but Alex Lee sort of has a really good like rapport 124 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:44,600 with fans and he does he like loves being Song Jing Wu, right? 125 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:48,000 Like he does a ton of, you know, shorts and everything just about 126 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,760 that. And I think that that along with 127 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:54,040 the popularity of solo levelling would probably, you know, give 128 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,120 him an advantage. Like I I'm all about it, right? 129 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,120 Like I voted for him. I just like seeing him say erect 130 00:07:59,960 --> 00:08:02,920 or whatever, like wakey wakey instead of her eyes, like, you 131 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,720 know, which isn't this season, but you're watching those shorts 132 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,240 while you're voting for this, right? 133 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:12,160 So it's gonna affect your perception of it, but, well, 134 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:13,760 drum roll, we'll get to the winner. 135 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,120 And that is Alex Lee as Sungjin Wu from Solo Level. 136 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,080 How cool with that? Yeah, I I think most people are 137 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,000 going to be OK with this. Even the people who are anti 138 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,880 solo level and getting as many nominations as it did would be 139 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,560 fine with this one. But that brings us to our next 140 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,600 category. Best Voice Artist Performance in 141 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:38,559 Japanese is our next category. We have Ali Yuki as Mao Mao from 142 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,159 Apothecary Diaries and both me and you voted for her. 143 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,680 We have Atsumi Tanazaki is Free Run from free run. 144 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:49,920 We have Kenichi Suzumura as Bravern from Bravern noticing a 145 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:51,440 naming convention for a lot of these shows. 146 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,240 We have Shiyan Wakayama is Momo from Dan to Dan. 147 00:08:55,560 --> 00:08:59,920 We have Sayaka SIM Bongi as Marcel from Delicious and 148 00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:04,800 Dungeon, and we have Natsuki Hanai as Okaroon from Dan to 149 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:06,880 Dan. What are your thoughts on this 150 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,080 selection here, Pete? Yeah, it sucks that Crunchyroll 151 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,360 hates Billy Billy. For some reason they never 152 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:20,240 include their shows for me. I think that Sayori Hayami from 153 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,240 Gigi Harem who did Ren should have been in this category. 154 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,160 She was my winner for best Japanese voice actress. 155 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:30,600 I thought she like nobody was even close to her in my opinion 156 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,320 this year. So picking somebody from these 157 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,280 six, I went with Mao Mao. I think Free Run was a close 158 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,720 second. I did really enjoy her voice 159 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,640 actress, but I think Ali Yuki does just a phenomenal job as 160 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,120 Mao Mao. I think she really like hones 161 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:49,520 into that character and adds an element to what makes Apothecary 162 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,760 Diaries what it is. So that's why I picked her. 163 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:58,400 But I would I would have loved to see Sayori Hayami in this 164 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:03,720 category, even if it was for a character that wasn't Rin, just 165 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,320 because I thought she did such a great job because she had 166 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,800 technically she could have been in this with Code White with 167 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,680 your or Demon Slayer with Shinobu. 168 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,040 I think Shinobu is in this season. 169 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:17,360 I don't know. I don't know. 170 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,200 I'm I'm the wrong person to ask about Demon Slayer. 171 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:26,800 But what I will say is they do include Billy, Billy shows. 172 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,120 But I think like almost anything, your show has to be, 173 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:30,880 like, pretty Dang popular. Popular. 174 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:32,040 Yeah. Yeah. 175 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,600 So like Billy, Billy helps produce Fire Force, for example. 176 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,560 Right. And Fire Force has been 177 00:10:37,560 --> 00:10:40,200 nominated and won four awards. And there's a couple other shows 178 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,800 I can't remember. I agree with your assessment, 179 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,040 though. I think that Ren's voice actress 180 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:46,840 did an amazing job. You have so many different 181 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,120 characters that you're playing, and being able to go in and out 182 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,920 of that is very good. I also agree with your 183 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:57,120 assessment of Mao Mao by Ayuki. I think Mao's voice actress is 184 00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:58,920 great. She has a lot of little modes as 185 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,040 well. She has like serious and gremlin 186 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,320 and you know, all of these different things and she does a 187 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,880 good job getting that across. And she even has like an 188 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,920 internal dialogue, which sounds slightly different than when 189 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,720 she's speaking. I would like to shout out 190 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:17,080 Kanichi Suzumura for Bravern, who I think does a good job of 191 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:21,680 bringing the energy in a way that is necessary to play a 192 00:11:21,680 --> 00:11:24,520 character like Bravern. So those are the two that I 193 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,360 would highlight from here. And Drummer Roll. 194 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,320 Again, we get to the winner of this category, who is in fact 195 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,920 Aliyuki as Mao Mao from Apothecary Diaries. 196 00:11:34,680 --> 00:11:37,080 So yeah, I think it's a good pick. 197 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:38,960 I'm excited. You know, anytime Mao Mao gets 198 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,160 any recognition, I'm going to be excited. 199 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:45,200 So I'm pretty happy about that. OK, so we're off to a decent 200 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,000 start. I, I, I have no idea who's going 201 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:52,320 to be the winners, but based off people's reaction, they were 202 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,560 pretty disappointed, which happens every year. 203 00:11:54,560 --> 00:11:56,720 But so far I'm happy with these two picks. 204 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:01,560 Yeah, I, I am, you know, so we'll probably differ on some. 205 00:12:01,560 --> 00:12:07,280 There is like for me, I think only like one or two that I was 206 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,080 like, I don't even see the angle in which you're coming. 207 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:11,160 Gotcha. You know what I mean? 208 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,840 Like there are some that maybe I disagree, but I get it. 209 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:19,320 But there were a couple where I was like, I, I don't get it. 210 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,560 I don't even understand who is pleased by this decision. 211 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,080 OK, that'll that'll be interesting to get. 212 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,240 To yeah. So for our next category, we 213 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:30,560 have best Ed. So we have Oh my God, I'm going 214 00:12:30,560 --> 00:12:33,000 to have to pronounce. You can just say the names of 215 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,400 the shows. Sure, you say. 216 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,360 Well, some of them might. Have for all this show. 217 00:12:38,680 --> 00:12:42,120 Yeah, but I can't because like things have more than one Ed if 218 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,040 they're 2 core. OK. 219 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,440 So we have we, I don't know what those are. 220 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:54,560 We have from Rama 1/2, we have Ontanate by Rira. 221 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,160 I can do this one. From Oshinoko Season 2, we have 222 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:03,600 Burning by Hitsuji Boon Gaku. From the Elusive Samurai we have 223 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,200 Kamakura Style by Bochi Boromaru. 224 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:11,160 This one's the easiest for me. From Kaiju #8 we have Nobody by 225 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:18,360 One Republic we have from Solo Levelling Request by Kroger and 226 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,160 that is what I voted for. And then we have what you voted 227 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:26,040 for Pete, which is Tai Da Da from Dan to Dan by Zutomayo. 228 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,160 What are your thoughts here? Yeah, we had a pretty, I think 229 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:32,960 we in terms of our Emmy Awards versus Crunchyroll, I think we 230 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:37,000 had two of the six line up. So this is I had to go back and 231 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,840 listen to the other 4 songs that I didn't really like listen to 232 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,400 that much to get a better understanding of this category. 233 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:49,160 I don't like their picks at all. Some of the ones like the Rama 234 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,280 1, I think that song is fine, but I think that's one of those 235 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,960 shows where they want to get like Rama involved because it's 236 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:59,120 like the big remake of the year. And I thought like the song was 237 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,880 just like, OK, I'm also, I'm kind of low on burning from 238 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:04,920 Ocean, OK. But I think that's also just 239 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,160 comparing it to Mefesto is like night and day. 240 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:14,360 Like Oshiko season 2, OP and Ed had like a lot to live up to and 241 00:14:14,560 --> 00:14:18,400 I I like them both but I just also think that it's impossible 242 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,840 to not to view them in a vacuum. Like that no for sure, and I 243 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:25,720 just I also just thought burning was just like an OK song like I 244 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,960 I really didn't have anything like awesome to say about it. 245 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:30,760 I picked tied it up from da da da. 246 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,640 I think the song is fun. I think it's the best of the 247 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:37,920 six. I don't think it's I I don't I'm 248 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:42,440 not as high as it as other people are, but like, I don't 249 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:46,200 know, E DS can get confusing sometimes based off of what 250 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:49,880 people like look for. I try to get a mix of like E DS 251 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:54,560 that had like like popping visually along with also being a 252 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,000 slammer. I think some of the Crunchyroll 253 00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,280 songs are just to include it. So I just went with Don to Don. 254 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,480 I'm like pretty indifferent on this one. 255 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,840 I'm not I the OPI have more words to say but EDI thought it 256 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,880 was just like I I I didn't really like their picks but I 257 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:14,440 also don't care enough. No, I got you. 258 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:18,280 I I think EDS and let me see if you agree this more than O PS 259 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:22,200 are vibe based. You know, where something like I 260 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:28,360 like request from Solo Leveling because it's like this sort of 261 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:34,160 slower song, but it has some like depth and punch to it and 262 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,720 it's like somatic. But it like usually in a show 263 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,400 like solo Leveling and with like these like hype moments or like 264 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,880 some sort of plot twist or big thing happening or whatever, you 265 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:46,040 know, where like the bad guy will stand up and like, oh, 266 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:47,320 here's the next threat or whatever. 267 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,160 And then it sort of like goes down. 268 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,520 And I think that like falling action was like pretty good for 269 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,400 me. I try to take things sort of in 270 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:58,200 context of the show more so than like what is my favorite song 271 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:02,680 from this bunch or whatever. Though we will now get to the 272 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:06,960 winner, which was in fact request by Krogay from Solo 273 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,160 Levelling. Interesting. 274 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:10,840 OK. Yeah. 275 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,880 I guess that was what they have listed. 276 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:20,320 Yeah, I, you know, as we discussed, I don't think either 277 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:24,440 of our favorite EDS of the year were on this so. 278 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:28,920 No, yeah. You know, but we we get a list 279 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:32,040 of 6 and you know, I'm happy with this choice. 280 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,000 It was my favorite of the six, so. 281 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,920 Yeah, I mean, I I'm pretty just like whatever the OP, I'm gonna 282 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:41,600 have way more words to say. Let's get these words going as 283 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:45,840 our next category is best opening sequence where we have 284 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,120 Abyss by Youngblood for Kaiju number. 285 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:49,360 Eight. That should not be there. 286 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:50,720 I just got to say that that song is. 287 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:55,560 Not I, I, I don't remember it. It's we have. 288 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:59,840 Will you please save my life? Oh yeah. 289 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,200 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It doesn't sound like an anime 290 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,880 OP, It just sounds like a pop punk song. 291 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,720 I mean, yeah, I don't. I'll I'll let you finish and 292 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:10,599 I'll get my. Word I I wouldn't put it on the 293 00:17:10,599 --> 00:17:13,720 list either, but now I do remember it. 294 00:17:13,839 --> 00:17:19,920 We have Bling Bang Bang, born by creepy nuts from Mashall season 295 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:24,160 2. We have fatal by Jim. 296 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:29,480 I don't know how to pronounce that GEMNI. 297 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,680 Yeah, I just don't know how you're supposed to do it. 298 00:17:32,360 --> 00:17:36,480 So my apologies to them. From Open O Co season 2 we have 299 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:40,800 level from solo leveling by OK, here's the name of the band 300 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:47,720 Sawabi Hiroyuki open brackets NZK close brackets colon 301 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:51,840 tomorrow together. Yep, which I I didn't vote for 302 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,720 that, but if I had, I would somehow take it away because I 303 00:17:54,720 --> 00:18:01,880 had to type it and it was hard. OK, we have a took Oto no K by 304 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:07,720 Creepy Nuts again for Dan to Dan and then OOS by Hiroshi 305 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:11,960 Hidadani, One Piece. Let's hear your words. 306 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,400 OK, we both voted for Otoko, no K. 307 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:18,640 Yeah, and I I think out of these six at 100% deserves, I think 308 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:22,000 it's the Best Song I can see Bling bling bang borne just 309 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,240 because it was so popular being the winner. 310 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:28,760 So like out of popularity, I get that missing girls bang cry on 311 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:34,440 this was a huge blunder. Like in terms of maybe not my 312 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,400 taste, but just like the overall sphere of anime, I think it was 313 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:41,800 the best OPE of 2024. I just thought what that OP did 314 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:46,360 to showcase what the show was doing and like about to do in 315 00:18:46,360 --> 00:18:49,760 that OP was next level. So the fact that they missed 316 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:53,320 that I thought was huge level from soul leveling. 317 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:57,440 That song is not good either. That is a very it reminds me of 318 00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:01,120 like a generic shield hero OP like it reminds me of was I 319 00:19:01,120 --> 00:19:04,760 think mad kid does the OPS for shield hero like. 320 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:06,200 I love both shield. Heroes. 321 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,840 It's like it matches the tone of the show. 322 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:12,400 It's not top six of the year. Like it's not like you're 323 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:16,520 telling me that song is better than like one of the ones that 324 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:20,240 we did that left off the go go loser Ranger preview of me the 325 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:21,840 dangers in my heart. Boku Washington. 326 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:26,880 Just with that one was like the dancing in the OP was so fun 327 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,800 that like that's why we included it where like it matches with 328 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:34,120 the OPI for me. The OP should set the tone for 329 00:19:34,120 --> 00:19:36,960 what's previewing of what the show is and what's to come. 330 00:19:37,360 --> 00:19:41,360 And when you don't do that in O PS I don't enjoy them as much, 331 00:19:41,360 --> 00:19:45,320 even if the song is like an Omega banger, which why is why 332 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,400 like I think idol is just like insane. 333 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,960 Like what that show, what that OP presents to what the show is, 334 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:55,040 it's like perfect so. Yeah, it's very good. 335 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:59,440 So when we which is why I love the girls band Cry wrong world 336 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:03,480 OP, it was missing. So with like the quirkiness and 337 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,640 fun that goes into that OP and the show. 338 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,600 That's why I went with Ultanoke from Donadon. 339 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,960 Yeah, similar thoughts here. So wrong world was my favorite 340 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,600 Opie of the year. It's my most played song of the 341 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,760 year. It's been yeah, I I'm a big fan 342 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:21,200 of it. I agree it should be on here. 343 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:26,120 I also someone who loves girls vent cry and happy that we got 344 00:20:26,120 --> 00:20:32,560 invited to any of the party. You know, it's it would be great 345 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:36,920 if it was on here, but I'm also just excited that it that it got 346 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:41,240 a nomination anywhere, period. Yeah, you know, because they 347 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,880 don't always do things like that as some foreshadowing. 348 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:50,840 Bling Bang Bang born is the odds on favorite for anime song of 349 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,120 the year. So understandable. 350 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,000 Yeah, I think that one definitely belongs on here. 351 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:59,440 I like fatal for Owen K Like I'm not upset about that. 352 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:01,240 I don't know anything about the one piece song. 353 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:05,240 I think the only one that I'm like generally like why is this 354 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,400 even here? And, and this will happen with a 355 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,960 lot of categories. I'm sorry, Kaiju #8 I enjoy your 356 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,440 show. It is the Kaiju number 81. 357 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:16,800 You know, I don't think it's the best five out of that, but it's 358 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,760 not like a 5 that I could see is what the hell? 359 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,320 Anyways, that being said, I realized we haven't been doing 360 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:23,320 this. What do you think is going to 361 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:27,120 win? I think Bling Bang Bang Born is 362 00:21:27,120 --> 00:21:31,400 going to win. OK, well, almost correct, 363 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:35,000 because the winner is it's an OK like creepy nuts. 364 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,760 I went with the more popular creepy nut song versus the 365 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,880 creepy nut song I like the best. Yeah, no. 366 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,320 And and you know that's you got to do that, right. 367 00:21:45,360 --> 00:21:47,840 You got to, you got to go for it. 368 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:53,160 So next we have best score. OK, OK, Now we're OK with some 369 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,480 some things where I'll have very strong opinions of different 370 00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,200 shows when? Oh yeah, I bet. 371 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,440 But let me talk about our nominees first. 372 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:07,080 And if there is not a dedicated composer that is credited, I 373 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:08,240 will just say the name of the studio. 374 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:12,480 But for Bleach, the Thousand Year Blood War, we have Shiro 375 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:18,120 Sagusu, we have Dan to Dan is Kinsuke Ushio did the 376 00:22:18,120 --> 00:22:20,880 composition there. For Demon Slayer we have two 377 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,800 people. We have Yuki Kajira and Go 378 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,440 Sheena. We have Evan Call who did free 379 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,640 Ren. We have Studio Durian for Look 380 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,720 back and then Studio A1 for solo levelling. 381 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,640 I voted for solo levelling. You voted for free, Ren. 382 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:41,440 I did yes. I listened to a lot of OS TS 383 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,680 last year just to get a better grasp of this category. 384 00:22:45,120 --> 00:22:47,800 My favorite which isn't listed here is Dungeon Meshy. 385 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,560 I thought how they handled the score for like their fantasy 386 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,920 world was incredible. But my number 2 is on this list 387 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,240 and that was Free Rin. I believe that's what I chose to 388 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,560 win, or at least that's why I picked to win. 389 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:01,960 That is what you voted. For OK I. 390 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,160 Don't know if that's picking to win or not. 391 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,320 Yeah, so. That's what I that's why I 392 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,360 selected to win for what I think will win. 393 00:23:10,360 --> 00:23:14,320 It was probably Demon Slayer, like Demon Slayer always wins. 394 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,920 I listen to some of the soundtrack for the training arc. 395 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:21,800 I didn't think it was that good. Something like Dan to Dan's OSTI 396 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,240 think it has like 2 really good stand out songs. 397 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:26,920 Outside of that. I thought the soundtrack was 398 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:33,640 like OK I yeah. To me I thought Evan Colin 399 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:37,640 Freeman was just the second best scorer from last year though. 400 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,440 That's why I hope wins, but I think Demon Slayer's winning. 401 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,720 OK, yeah, I'll give my show a shout out really quickly and ask 402 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,320 the President solo levelling stand of. 403 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:50,040 Yes, you are cast. So bizarre. 404 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,000 Not sure how we got here, but we did. 405 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:56,600 To me, a lot of the scenes had a high impact and I think they did 406 00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:58,640 a very good job with the score on those. 407 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,720 I definitely did not dive as deeply as Pete did. 408 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:07,920 My thing for score is usually like, do I notice the score 409 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,480 while I'm watching it? Am I like this is hype? 410 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,760 I like that it's doing this and I definitely had that for solo 411 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,120 leveling and freerun out of these. 412 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:22,720 But I decided to go with solo leveling because I I guess it's 413 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,440 my first time consuming it. And so these scenes are more 414 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:29,120 implanted with the score in my head is probably what I would I 415 00:24:29,120 --> 00:24:32,120 would say, but I don't know. It just resonated with me a 416 00:24:32,120 --> 00:24:35,560 little bit longer and I think it's I also like up tempo things 417 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:39,440 a bit more for music and solo leveling is all gas, no brakes 418 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:44,160 and free run has a lot of breaks and that's great and amazing. 419 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:50,120 But regardless, yeah. And so the winner of best score 420 00:24:50,120 --> 00:24:53,080 is solo leveling. OK. 421 00:24:54,120 --> 00:24:56,360 Yeah, I, I mean it like it's better than. 422 00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,680 I mean, I picked Demon Slayer winning just because it's Demon 423 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:01,120 Slayer. OK. 424 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:05,280 I'm just glad it didn't win. Soul leveling in this case 425 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,680 probably would have been like my third choice I think from this 426 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:10,400 list. OK, I'm I'm all right with it. 427 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,360 I'll take it. I was, I was a bit surprised 428 00:25:13,360 --> 00:25:17,480 just because of like Evan Call and other shows like exist, you 429 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:19,640 know, but. I will keep it like with with 430 00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,640 most people when it comes to score, they'll listen to the OP 431 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:26,840 and Ed, which by the way are not included in the score and base 432 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,120 it off of that so. Sometimes they're included. 433 00:25:29,120 --> 00:25:32,000 Sometimes, but I would say most of the time, but they're not 434 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:35,040 like most of the time. Evan Call is not doing the OP 435 00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:36,320 like. Incorrect. 436 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,640 So I tried to base it around the, you know, the songs that 437 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:41,520 aren't that are included to the score. 438 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,560 I'll just put it that way. And I didn't listen to soul 439 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:46,440 leveling. But like you said, if you notice 440 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:51,680 it in the the show, it normally means it's at least like I mean 441 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,040 as long as that like the air horn noises or something like 442 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:55,120 that if you notice. It's good or. 443 00:25:55,360 --> 00:25:57,760 Bad, right? It's usually one extreme. 444 00:25:57,760 --> 00:25:59,160 It's either the worst score or the bad. 445 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:04,080 So yeah, I'm OK with this. OK, my favorite score from last 446 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:07,280 year was Witch for Mercury which was not nominated but I am 447 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:08,720 wearing my witch for. Mercury. 448 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:13,040 That's so. Next is best anime song. 449 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,360 OK OK but I remember having issues with this because they 450 00:26:16,360 --> 00:26:20,160 included like 4 songs from like OP and Ed and just like this. 451 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,920 This should be the time where you showcase the other songs, 452 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:25,680 but they didn't do that, so let's hear. 453 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,560 Yeah. So they actually just so all of 454 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:33,480 these, five of these are from OP and Ed, four of them are from 455 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:38,160 OP, and the fifth one that wasn't included is an OP that 456 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,960 for whatever reason was not included in best OP. 457 00:26:42,360 --> 00:26:46,680 Anyways, the one that I'm sure we both agree is a little 458 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:51,080 outlier here is Abyss Youngblood Kaiju #8 should not. 459 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:55,840 Be included on this song at all? We have we have Bling Bang Bang, 460 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:59,680 born by Creepy nuts for Marshall and this is the betting 461 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:04,040 favorite. This was the the favorite on the 462 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:06,040 Internet. If you wanted to make bets on 463 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:11,800 the anime awards by Crunchyroll, we have fatal by Jim Owen K 464 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:17,720 season 2. We have level by the same group. 465 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:19,760 Yeah, not. That that one group, What's the 466 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:24,400 one happening? Yeah, we have otenoke creepy 467 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:30,320 nuts Dan to Dan and then we have the Brave by Yasabi for free 468 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:34,440 Ren, which is OP number 1 I believe. 469 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:39,080 Yes, yes it is. And we both voted for that. 470 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:43,320 What are your thoughts? Pete yeah, I I think maybe we 471 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,040 voted for it because it's it was like the outlier to the other 472 00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,720 ones. Blaine Blaine bang Borne I think 473 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:52,560 makes sense for winning this. That's why I think is going to 474 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:54,840 win. I still think with the list we 475 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,360 the free Renault P1 should win, though. 476 00:27:57,360 --> 00:28:01,200 I wish I we could have gotten this is where I wish we could 477 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,720 have got like Zoltrak from Free Ren. 478 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:08,240 Bye Bye Earth had a banger. My Hero Academia had a banger 479 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,560 insert song. There's a couple of insert songs 480 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:15,280 from shows with Storia with Storia, I think, I think it was 481 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,760 like episode 10 or 11. The fight scene that was my 482 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:20,320 favorite part of the fight scene was the song. 483 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:24,400 Like I these these are this is where I wish they really should 484 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,200 have incorporated some insert songs or some songs outside of 485 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,840 that. Really would have loved to see 486 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,720 some representation, but I'm just gonna go with the free one. 487 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:34,800 Free one. I think that that was my pick, 488 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,280 but I think bling bling Bang Bang born wins. 489 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,160 There we go. Well, we'll get to the winner 490 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,120 here. And I agree with your, your 491 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:43,520 assessment there. Just really quickly. 492 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,960 I I, I don't even necessarily know if it should only be that 493 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:51,920 like, but just recycling the same things. 494 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,560 It's lazy. Yeah, I guess I would rather 495 00:28:54,560 --> 00:29:00,120 have like a best, you know, I don't know how to do just like 496 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,200 make sure that these insert songs and stuff can have their 497 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,520 time to shine. Maybe one of them shows up in 498 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,240 like this like best of what we just did for music. 499 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,760 But currently it feels like a bit redundant. 500 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:14,240 This is just five O PS. Yeah, right. 501 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,880 It's a lazy category. In one Ed. 502 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:18,080 Yeah. Well, I think it would. 503 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,880 Yeah, it's I think. Sorry, it's a lazy nomination. 504 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,480 It's a good category. It's lazy nominations. 505 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,520 And the winner is OK by creepy nuts. 506 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:30,880 So it won OP and Best Song. Yep. 507 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:34,880 Sure, I think that's kind of lame and boring. 508 00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:38,240 It's not the Best Song from the year. 509 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,600 I would even say it's not even the Best Song from Don to Don. 510 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:45,120 I think the chase scene song is the best. 511 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:49,360 Like overall song from Dandan. I think that song elevated the 512 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,480 chase scene a ton. I wish we could have gotten that 513 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,480 song in this. I just don't think there's a 514 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:58,600 world where we get like a score song on this. 515 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:02,320 No, I. Agree but I but if you are going 516 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:07,040 to do Best Song and include OP and E DS they should be excluded 517 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,440 from this category. This could be, and if you don't 518 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,240 want it to be like, like how many people listen to 519 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:17,480 soundtracks, Like 1% of anime listeners have this be like a 520 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,640 category on the side. Or do you say at least like 521 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:24,560 recognized by the industry and you don't have to have it on 522 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:26,000 your main show? Because I do think it's an 523 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:27,840 important category. I just think these dominations 524 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,360 are lazy. Yeah, I I agree that. 525 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,440 I mean, I liked them last year because I'll let IDLE win 526 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,600 something because idle didn't win best op which. 527 00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:38,040 Is insane. They're smoking crack, smoking. 528 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:38,960 Crack. Yeah. 529 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,280 But that made me think that the whole point of this was to to 530 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:44,640 have like two different things, you know what I mean? 531 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:48,520 Like, but they didn't do that in this case and they like could 532 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,640 have just done the other creepy nut song. 533 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:55,680 So I'm not exactly sure exactly. I mean there's like a panel and 534 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,680 stuff, right? So it's just how it gets voted 535 00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,000 and like 1/3 of it is fan vote so. 536 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,760 I would also say this from like a viewer standpoint and like 537 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,640 entertainment, like if you're watching this live and you see 538 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:10,360 this winner, like I would probably want to turn it off. 539 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:15,520 Like I think it's not only is it bad, more like the the awards 540 00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,400 itself. I think it's boring content to 541 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:22,560 like have yeah, this repeating winner for a very similar 542 00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,400 category. Yeah, I, I agree. 543 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:29,600 I would just try to avoid, I think, what the intent is. 544 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:33,160 You have best OP, best Ed. And it's like out of this group 545 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:37,080 of songs, which one's the best? Yeah, but I don't know. 546 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,800 You don't need to do that. That's my fault. 547 00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:41,480 OK. We move on to the next one. 548 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:46,520 Next we have what is my least favorite category because of who 549 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:47,960 they've chosen. Oh fun. 550 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:50,320 And this is the must protected all. 551 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:54,000 I hate this category, so boring. It it's, it's the I don't even 552 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:58,600 think it's boring, I just think they picked maybe the dumbest 553 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:00,040 possible. Rids on this. 554 00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:04,120 She is a mass killer. She does not have to be 555 00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:07,120 protected. Anya Forger from spy family 556 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:11,360 season 2 pro needs to be protective is like 7 years old. 557 00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:18,080 Khan is psychic. We have free rid from free rid 558 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,920 also known as free rid the Slayer, also known as the 559 00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,720 strongest mage alive who's 1000 years old. 560 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:33,320 I think this they just didn't want to use the word Moe Okaroon 561 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:36,680 also known as someone who's possessed by a devil or a demon 562 00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:40,920 of some sort. Yeah, whatever it is and can 563 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:43,120 kill us both. Insanely strong. 564 00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:46,480 Crazy strong. Anyways, he's from Dan to Dan, I 565 00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:47,560 get it. He's kind of like. 566 00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:49,720 You know, you know what been good for him? 567 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,520 His testicles. His testicles should have been 568 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:56,160 on the nomination list. We want to protect Okrun's 569 00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,400 testicles, yes. That at least makes sense in 570 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:00,840 this. In the show, he loses them. 571 00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:03,320 If we protect them, he won't lose them. 572 00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,040 Not even. Close. 573 00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:10,000 This is silly. The primary person who keeps the 574 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:11,000 group alive. He is. 575 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:15,560 He is like a master class at adventuring the dungeon. 576 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,640 He has knows like every nook and cranny, he knows how to. 577 00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:20,320 Grow top tier survival. Skills. 578 00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:24,360 He knows how to grow vegetables in a dungeon like this. 579 00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:26,600 Dude does not need to be protected, he needs to be 580 00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:30,040 studied. We have Tokiyukiyojo from the 581 00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:33,080 elusive Samurai. I'm pretty sure he kills people 582 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:38,480 in that show. Is a samurai yes, Or adjacent at 583 00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:42,040 least I haven't seen it. I'm pretty sure he decapitate 584 00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:43,720 somebody in a fight scene like I'm. 585 00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:48,040 Yeah, I think he's OK. Then we have Yuki Tosi from A 586 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,560 Sign of Affection. She's deaf, so we have to 587 00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:54,480 protect her. The major theme of that show is 588 00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:56,280 that she doesn't need to be protected. 589 00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:00,040 She's her own person and is capable of living her life 590 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:04,040 without babying her. We both voted for Anya. 591 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:08,800 I think it's just like you had to like I think she should and 592 00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,679 will win. I can see there's a world where 593 00:34:11,679 --> 00:34:16,280 you vote for Yuki, if you like, just sort of didn't think very 594 00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:19,639 hard and was like, everyone else here is like a warrior of some 595 00:34:19,639 --> 00:34:22,440 sort and she's just a college student and you weren't like 596 00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:24,800 thinking about what the message of the show was when you click 597 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,120 your buttons. And I think last year. 598 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:28,639 So that's kind of why I did that. 599 00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:33,239 OK, just to. Back-to-back to back winners, it 600 00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:37,400 makes sense. To back, well, Anya won. 601 00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:40,840 We have Anya as the winner. Back-to-back, someone called 602 00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:42,400 Drake. We're going back-to-back. 603 00:34:43,159 --> 00:34:46,280 Yep, sure. It's not. 604 00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:49,080 Necessarily a category that I inherently hate. 605 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,440 And I get the vibe of the character they were going for. 606 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:57,520 It's like people who are like kind of cuddly in some way or 607 00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:59,720 what, I don't know exactly how to word it, but there is like a 608 00:34:59,720 --> 00:35:01,840 vibe that ties those characters together. 609 00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:05,720 Like even Freer and the Slayer like gets stuck in the mimics 610 00:35:05,720 --> 00:35:07,240 and stuff, right? Like there's, there's stuff 611 00:35:07,240 --> 00:35:11,360 there they could've, I don't know, there's something that 612 00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:13,800 they needed to, to word out better, but don't hire me 613 00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:15,960 because I don't know. This category just seems like, 614 00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:19,120 hey, we have 26 categories and then Crunchyroll corporate's 615 00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,800 like we need 27. It's like, but we already have 616 00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:24,600 all the ones that we need to do another one. 617 00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:26,400 And then that's what they came up with this. 618 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:27,920 It's just like, who cares? Like. 619 00:35:28,240 --> 00:35:30,520 Yeah, and they have categories they like drop and stuff like 620 00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:32,040 they didn't, we don't have best. We do it too. 621 00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,080 It's just like maybe one year is prevalent and it makes sense in 622 00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:36,360 the next year. Yeah, true. 623 00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:38,320 Well, like this is just like what? 624 00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:41,280 Like it's forcing. Would you force people into a 625 00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:43,000 category? Just remove it Like it's fine. 626 00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:46,480 Yeah, I I agree best supporting character. 627 00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:50,560 We have Fern from free Rin. She is the odds on favorite on 628 00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:53,800 the betting markets. We have Himmel from free Rin who 629 00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:58,440 I voted for with no I no thoughts that he would win. 630 00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:01,120 I I just love that he's on here. It makes me happy. 631 00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:05,360 We have Jenshi from the Apothecary Diaries. 632 00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:09,200 We have Seiko from Dan to Dan. We have Senchi who you voted for 633 00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:12,960 from Delicious and Dungeon. Then we have Turbo Granny, also 634 00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:15,040 from Dan to Dan. What are your thoughts on this 635 00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:16,240 list? I think it's a pretty good list 636 00:36:16,240 --> 00:36:22,280 all things considered and. I would not have included Turbo 637 00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:24,960 Granny. She doesn't do anything in the 638 00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:27,200 first season as a supporting character. 639 00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:31,800 She doesn't really support them. Like even if she does, it's not 640 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,120 enough to be a top six supporting character of the 641 00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:35,840 year. I would agree with that. 642 00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:38,600 She is funny though. She is funny, but so is Seiko 643 00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:40,960 the grandma Which? Yeah, I'm. 644 00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:44,000 Fine with that being here I wouldn't have put her, but like 645 00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:48,760 I it seems forced to have both those Don to Don characters in 646 00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:50,160 here. It doesn't make any sense. 647 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:53,000 Fern and Himmel make more sense of having both. 648 00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:55,560 I think they both play two different supporting roles. 649 00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,240 In the story of Free Run, I pick Senchi. 650 00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:02,520 I think he's just vital to the storyline of Delicious and 651 00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:05,160 Dungeon. Like without him they would 652 00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:07,480 probably, if not already be dead. 653 00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:11,520 So like he plays a very massive and vital point in there, not 654 00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:13,360 only the story but the party itself. 655 00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:17,000 And he's just a great character. I think he's super funny. 656 00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:21,000 I think he's lovable and he is the glue of Delicious and 657 00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:22,280 Dungeons. So that's why I picked them. 658 00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:27,240 I picked Himmel because one, I think there's like an argument 659 00:37:27,240 --> 00:37:29,400 to be made that Fern is just sort of the main character of 660 00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:33,680 the series, at least at this point, like, or at least a main 661 00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:39,120 character. Yeah, there's like a lot, but 662 00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:40,920 she does it's all like her growth. 663 00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:43,640 And so I don't know, she she she does things. 664 00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:48,560 She's taking the major exam. It's it's for her to take more 665 00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:50,480 so than free run. We already know what Free run 666 00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:53,320 can do, but I voted for him all because I think he plays like a 667 00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:57,720 pretty unique role in the story in so far that is mostly just 668 00:37:57,720 --> 00:38:02,000 like the memory of him that is supportive and we see how he's 669 00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,680 developed a character that is already fully developed when we 670 00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:06,720 meet her. And I think that's neat. 671 00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:10,200 I like that. I think Gentsy is a good 672 00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:12,000 character. I think all of us besides Turbo 673 00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:15,200 Granny who is probably just here for the memes makes the most 674 00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:16,760 sense. Like I would say since she also 675 00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,160 probably a main character, I don't necessarily know if I 676 00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:21,760 would put him on this list because of that. 677 00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:25,880 But I do understand that there's like this in between thing 678 00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:29,000 between like a side supporting character and a main character 679 00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:31,760 sometimes when your cast is large enough where you have like 680 00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:35,320 AB tier of main character. So I'm not particularly upset on 681 00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:37,040 that. Do you have what you think, who 682 00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,720 you thinks, who you think is going to win? 683 00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:45,680 I think I, I think you said Fern was the betting odd favorite. 684 00:38:45,720 --> 00:38:48,320 She was the betting favorite. Yeah, I think, I think Fern 685 00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:50,320 makes sense. I'll I'll pick Fern. 686 00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:54,000 OK. And in fact, Fern is the winner, 687 00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:59,320 so I'm I'm happy with that. Yeah, I'm I'm cool with that 688 00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:01,200 pick. Yeah, and they have her doing 689 00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:04,920 the Fern walk is the image. Yeah, Fern Walk I love. 690 00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:09,840 Next we have best main character. 691 00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:14,960 OK, there should be 1 and I. Forgot to highlight who you 692 00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:16,640 voted for, but I know who you voted. 693 00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:18,400 For you voted for. I'm not mistaken. 694 00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:20,960 Yep. You are correct, it is free run 695 00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:24,680 from Free Run who is also the odds on favorite in the betting 696 00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:26,880 market. This was the one where it was 697 00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:30,720 pretty interesting. Her and Sung Jinlu went back and 698 00:39:30,720 --> 00:39:35,000 forth like a lot so most of them were pretty static. 699 00:39:35,720 --> 00:39:41,160 But Free Run and Sung Jinlu changed who the favorite was 700 00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:44,400 almost daily and like just because of the time that I cut 701 00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:48,080 it off, Freerun won because I did it on the first one of the 702 00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:50,080 morning of. But like later that day, Sung 703 00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:54,000 Jing Wu was and on earlier, like on the previous day, like the 704 00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,760 last one and he was it. And then freerun takes it back 705 00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:58,840 going in. So they they were really close 706 00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:01,480 for the betting favorite, which was interesting because mostly 707 00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:05,400 there was just a major favorite and it would only collapse if 708 00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:08,120 like something got leaked or whatever you would just see go 709 00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:09,800 like Bam, it wasn't like a lot of back and. 710 00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:11,320 Forth So what were the other nominations? 711 00:40:11,720 --> 00:40:14,200 Yeah, there were other people who were nominated, including 712 00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:17,280 who I voted for. Not Kafka from Kaiju #8, but he 713 00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:20,960 was nominated. Momo from Dan to Dan, O Karoon 714 00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:24,520 from Dan to Dan, Mao Mahal from Apothecary Diaries. 715 00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:27,440 That's who I voted for. And then Sungjin Wu from Solo 716 00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:30,920 Levelling. So you're saying Sungjin Wu was 717 00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:32,600 the betting favorite with Free Ren? 718 00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:38,000 So it basically so from the cut off it was free ring but it was 719 00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:41,560 more or less a Co one depending on the time you looked at it 720 00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:44,480 between Sungjin Wu and free. Ring this is. 721 00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:47,800 That's crazy considering that we're in these awards. 722 00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:52,480 It's only season 1 of Soul Levelling and Sungjin Wu doesn't 723 00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:54,760 really. I feel like he matures a lot 724 00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:58,160 more in the second season to like actually have a developed 725 00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:00,480 character. I think maybe at the end of 726 00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:03,440 season 1 where he becomes a necromancer I was like Oh my God 727 00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:05,520 he's so cool. I wouldn't even put him even 728 00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:10,400 remotely close to someone like Mao Mao or Free Ren or anybody 729 00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:13,600 else in this category. I feel like Ultra Rune and Mobo 730 00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:16,480 both seem like very. I mean, there it's a popular 731 00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:19,000 show, but I would not have included them at all. 732 00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,840 I think Sunjin Wu out of these six would be my third choice. 733 00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:26,360 Like, I'm not going to lie. Out of these six, let's see, I 734 00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:30,160 like Momo better than Sunjinwu. I did. 735 00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:32,760 I like San Jin Wu more than Okarun. 736 00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:33,920 Who's the other one that we're missing? 737 00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:36,560 Oh, and Kafka. Kafka would be dead last as 738 00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:38,200 much. Like Kafka. 739 00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:41,440 Kafka's fun, like Kafka is a fun character. 740 00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:44,160 He's not a good character, at least in my opinion. 741 00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:49,880 OK so I'm AI think free run wins and I think free run should win. 742 00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:52,360 OK. I'll put it that way. 743 00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:55,360 Or or bow, bow. One of the two should win. 744 00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:59,800 OK, the winner of this category is Sungjin Wu. 745 00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:05,320 I'm so leveling. If you want to know my thoughts 746 00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:07,440 on this, you can come into our discord and you can find my 747 00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:10,480 dissertation on why Sungjin Wu and Free Reign are very similar 748 00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:12,960 characters. It was a lot of fun to write. 749 00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:15,880 I don't necessarily know if I meant it, but well, you wrote 750 00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:16,360 it. I did. 751 00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:20,360 I did write it. This is crazy He's he should not 752 00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:25,600 even be in the the top 6 like. My my thought here is that when 753 00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:28,920 this is getting made and voted for etcetera, season 2 is 754 00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:29,520 airing. Yep. 755 00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:32,320 And people love Season 2, and that's just a thing that has 756 00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:34,000 always affected awards like this. 757 00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:37,040 Do you know what else was airing that was season 2 during voting? 758 00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:40,720 Apothecary Diaries and free. Yes. 759 00:42:40,720 --> 00:42:44,760 Oh no, no, free. One I I think Mao Mao should win 760 00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:48,000 this. I also think that, you know, I 761 00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:51,040 have a lot of friends who who like, voted for the Crunchyroll 762 00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:54,720 awards but aren't huge yeah anime fans. 763 00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:58,560 And they were choosing between Song Jing Wu and Free Red. 764 00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:02,520 And they have not watched Apothecary's. 765 00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:04,120 Gotcha. I just want to say I know that 766 00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:07,000 this is like subjective and it's like opinion and stuff that's 767 00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:11,040 wrong, that your friends are incorrect. 768 00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:14,400 As well they they haven't watched the show with the 769 00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:15,480 clearly. Correct. 770 00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:18,440 They're still wrong. Like they're wrong because they 771 00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:20,520 haven't watched Apothecary Diaries yet. 772 00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:26,200 And I'm getting them too slowly. OK, what a good friend. 773 00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:29,000 It's hard. It's hard to push things on 774 00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:33,920 people that don't have action. You know, like I I can get some 775 00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:37,120 like not shown any stuff in there, but like it needs 776 00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:41,520 something sure and like you know, it it you gotta you gotta 777 00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:45,400 slowly yeah, trip feed it. This Oh man, maybe I'll save it 778 00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:48,360 for the end, but I have words for just the Crunchyroll awards 779 00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:52,280 in general, just like their structure, so this will just add 780 00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:54,720 to that. Yeah, let's do that at the end. 781 00:43:54,720 --> 00:43:57,400 I one thing I'll I'll say is I have a friend who normally skips 782 00:43:57,400 --> 00:44:02,800 through dialogue scenes of anime to watch fight scenes and he has 783 00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:06,360 said Apothecary Diaries is and I quote pretty good and I will 784 00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:08,920 take that. That's that's a huge W That's a 785 00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:09,400 huge. Volume. 786 00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:15,200 Anyways, our next category is Best Slice of Life. 787 00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:18,720 My second favorite category. Yep. 788 00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:22,200 So we're on Pete's favorite category and. 789 00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:26,920 I have I have words about this category because I think like 790 00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:29,840 four of the six, I would not classify a slice of life. 791 00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:34,560 I have words for this category too because I voted for Makanine 792 00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:36,880 and I hate that show. Yes, you do you. 793 00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:38,440 You give it like a. Four. 794 00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:42,880 Yeah, I don't like it. OK, what were the but it's. 795 00:44:44,720 --> 00:44:48,400 The the other two that I had seen anyways laid back camp 796 00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:50,480 season 3. You have voted for this. 797 00:44:51,240 --> 00:44:52,560 Girl, there's my girl in the desk. 798 00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:55,560 Go woo. Makani, too many losing 799 00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:57,560 heroines. I voted for this show. 800 00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:00,760 Yep. We'll get to why in a second. 801 00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:03,520 OK, third. Mr. Villain's day off. 802 00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:05,360 Honestly not going to front. Never. 803 00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:09,960 Heard of I dropped it. OK, looks like a slice of life 804 00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:11,640 though if I. Were to it's 100% of. 805 00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:16,440 Life, yeah #4 my dear friend Nocaton. 806 00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:19,120 Not a slice of life. There's an argument to be made, 807 00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:21,760 but I agree. Maybe because it's not funny 808 00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:24,960 they have to categorize it as a slice of life because it's. 809 00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:26,920 Not oh, wait until you get to the go. 810 00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:27,960 It's in the comedy. Category. 811 00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:29,360 Oh, it is. It shouldn't, but it's there. 812 00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:35,280 I'm glad that you finally come full circle here. 813 00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:38,320 You're willing like we're enough past the show that there's no 814 00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:41,880 some cost fallacy on the time you had spent watching the show. 815 00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:43,880 Four, what are you talking about? 816 00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:47,120 There was like a long period of time where you were like, it's 817 00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:49,800 kind of funny. There are two good episodes in 818 00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:51,200 Nocoton. There are two. 819 00:45:51,240 --> 00:45:56,200 I will fight you for that. We'll get there eventually #5 is 820 00:45:56,200 --> 00:46:00,560 sound euphonium? Season not even remotely close 821 00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:02,960 to a slice of life. I think it's a slice of life. 822 00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:05,440 I do. Not the last season, especially 823 00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:07,960 not the last season. No, I think it's an hell. 824 00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:11,640 Life is stressful and people saying oh it's about competition 825 00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:14,240 and stuff are fucking losers who didn't compete in their life. 826 00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:17,480 This is a drama. This is a clear drama. 827 00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:19,840 Life is dramatic. Yes, that's why should be 828 00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:23,320 included in the best drama category, not slice of life. 829 00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:26,920 They play instruments. The dangers in my heart. 830 00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:30,160 Not a slice of life I'll. Agree with you on that one. 831 00:46:30,240 --> 00:46:34,520 It's a romance. It is, and also I don't like it. 832 00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:39,240 Anyways, all of those things led to me voting for Makani, a show 833 00:46:39,240 --> 00:46:41,920 I don't like. What do you think, Pete? 834 00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:45,680 So some of the big messes even though I haven't seen the show 835 00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:49,320 but it's like it's such a highly rated property and I believe it 836 00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:53,560 is one of if not the highest season that's ranked was not to 837 00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:55,440 me. Book of Friends 7th season 838 00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:57,280 probably should be included in this. 839 00:46:57,280 --> 00:47:01,120 I really wish we saw Pokémon Concierge in this. 840 00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:06,360 I really don't like shows like sound euphonium in this. 841 00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:09,880 I don't classify it as a slice of life too many losing 842 00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:12,680 heroines. I I think that's adjacent enough 843 00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:16,440 where I'm fine with it but some big misses. 844 00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:19,640 I I think Pokémon Concierge and Nasiri's Book of friends should 845 00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:22,960 have 100% get here. I get like not including shows 846 00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:26,640 like Mushroom pup. Like I get that I'm the only one 847 00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:29,400 who really likes that show that much I but. 848 00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:31,520 That's like 7 of you on the. Discord. 849 00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:36,720 There's there's like 12 mushroom puff fans out in the world and 850 00:47:36,720 --> 00:47:38,160 seven of them are in their discord. 851 00:47:38,240 --> 00:47:41,880 But I I do, I think Pokémon Concierge is the big mess on 852 00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:45,920 this one. Yeah, I I can agree with that. 853 00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:48,360 I I think my argument for something like my dear friend 854 00:47:48,720 --> 00:47:52,160 Nogaton is though it is insane. They do nothing. 855 00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:55,960 Yeah, which is like, that is like a pretty big Hallmark slice 856 00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:59,080 of life where they're just chilling, you know what I mean? 857 00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:04,120 It's this is where it comes down to like where I view the drama 858 00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:06,480 in something like Oceano Co, like incredible. 859 00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:11,120 And it's not just the intense scenes, it's the interactions 860 00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:15,360 with their classmates at school and their interactions with cast 861 00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:18,400 members behind the scenes. Like that's what sound Euphonium 862 00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:20,840 Season 3 was. That's fine. 863 00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:23,800 Yeah, I I get that. It's like defending my dear. 864 00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:25,800 Friend no, no for sure. But it's like it's like it's 865 00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:29,400 those it's like those shows where it's like, OK, maybe 866 00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:34,240 season 1 where they're learning, you know, the freaking 867 00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:38,280 euphonium. And that can be I think I think 868 00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:40,520 that's a little bit more in the slice of life category. 869 00:48:40,720 --> 00:48:44,280 Season 3, they're competing for nationals is the most stressful 870 00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:46,440 competition of their entire life. 871 00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:49,960 And like so it's like if you are going to put sound euphonium in 872 00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:53,720 slice of life then you better include blue box you better 873 00:48:53,720 --> 00:48:57,720 include, high Q you better include like anything with a 874 00:48:57,720 --> 00:49:01,080 competition should be slice of. Life then I think sports anime 875 00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:03,440 or more or less just slice of life anime most of the time. 876 00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:05,600 That's my take. I'm the exact option I I 877 00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:09,280 consider them like action because I remember the first or 878 00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:14,080 second year I did our awards, the best fight category had a 879 00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:16,680 high Q match and so like. Yeah, I do. 880 00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:18,560 I do remember. That I like that. 881 00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:22,920 I think it's more in like the drama action side than like 882 00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:24,680 slice of life. Just because they're not 883 00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:27,000 throwing punches doesn't mean they're not like fighting or 884 00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:28,760 battling. Yeah, I agree. 885 00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:33,080 But like, I guess I to me, such a such a big portion of like 886 00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:35,960 high school life, which is what so many of these things focus on 887 00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:40,320 is athletic competition. And like, so to me, it's just 888 00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:42,840 like, OK, what fundamentally, what is the difference between a 889 00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:44,960 photography club and volleyball club? 890 00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:46,720 You know what I mean? Conflict. 891 00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:50,920 You can enter a photography competition. 892 00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:53,960 You could, but do they? Yeah, the girl in mono did. 893 00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:56,960 She won for taking pictures of her senpai taking pictures. 894 00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:01,160 I see you've been watching Mono all right. 895 00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:05,800 I have, which is something that I think we both would agree, a 896 00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:09,280 slice of life, a. 100% now doesn't classify the slice of 897 00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:12,480 life and it's by the person who made freaking laid back amp. 898 00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:17,280 Oh OK so walking back to the whatever laid back camp is for 899 00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:19,160 me, my favorite size of life ever. 900 00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:23,320 I don't think season 3 is winning the award even though I 901 00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:25,040 would have picked it out of these 6. 902 00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:28,000 I don't think it was what? Do you think is of these 6? 903 00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:31,360 I'm gonna go. Too many losing heroines. 904 00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:35,960 OK, good guess man. The winner is too many losing 905 00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:37,560 heroines. I'm OK with that. 906 00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:39,240 I'm not. I'm OK with that. 907 00:50:39,240 --> 00:50:42,840 I hate this show. I can I explain the situation 908 00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:45,680 with like the shy girl to my friends today where he just like 909 00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:50,080 does a soft coup of the club. Yeah, you hate and like, yeah, 910 00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:53,080 because the guy is awful. He's an awful human. 911 00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:57,720 He's just a monster with, but he comes off like so. 912 00:50:57,720 --> 00:51:01,640 Aw Shucksy. If you want to hear our thoughts 913 00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:05,360 on too many losing heroines, go check out the Summer 2024 914 00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:07,280 review. Me and Miles are both on that 915 00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:09,720 episode. If you like it, you'll like my 916 00:51:09,720 --> 00:51:10,880 take. If you hate it, you'll love 917 00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:14,600 Miles's take. Yep, and reverse that for Alia. 918 00:51:14,720 --> 00:51:16,240 Yep, that show. Was that? 919 00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:19,840 Straight. Buns show was like mocking a but 920 00:51:20,240 --> 00:51:24,040 the Surprisingly enough, the main character was less of a 921 00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:25,960 psychopath. That's true. 922 00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:27,960 He. Was he was, I will agree. 923 00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:32,400 With that, like our next category best drama. 924 00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:36,360 So for best drama we had a sign of affection. 925 00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:42,200 Dead, dead, demons, destruction. Free Ren Oceano Co Season 2 926 00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:45,640 Pluto and the Apothecary Diaries. 927 00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:48,680 I I remember when this came out and this was like one of the 928 00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:51,400 categories I was like, damn, they got like 5 of 6 right. 929 00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:55,400 Like I I like what they chose for this. 930 00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:59,360 I would have rather had sound euphonium in this and drama and 931 00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:03,760 so slice of life but I did really enjoy their picks for 932 00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:05,440 best drama. I think it makes sense shout to 933 00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:09,880 them actually including Pluto. Like I I just assumed that they 934 00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:13,680 were going to forget that show. I think I picked Oceanoco to 935 00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:15,040 win. I think it should win. 936 00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:19,040 I think season 2 the Tokyo Blade arc was incredible. 937 00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:22,520 It was the best directing of 2024 in my opinion. 938 00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:24,360 I thought they just killed it this year. 939 00:52:24,720 --> 00:52:29,440 So my pick and what should win and what I picked is Oceanoco. 940 00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:33,200 OK, I picked The Apothecary Diaries as one of my favorite 941 00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:38,240 shows of all time, as actually several of these nominations are 942 00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:40,920 there's a world where I vote for dead, dead demons, but 943 00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:43,280 unfortunately Apothecary Diaries exists. 944 00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:50,120 And then I would do probably I guess for drama O&K and then 945 00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:53,720 free run. But it's a pretty stacked list 946 00:52:53,720 --> 00:52:55,520 here. Yep, I like this one. 947 00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:58,080 I like a sign of affection. I don't necessarily think it's 948 00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:00,440 punching at its weight. In the I don't I don't think it 949 00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:03,240 should be included in drama I I like it but I don't think it's 950 00:53:03,240 --> 00:53:07,240 top 6. There is good drama in it, but 951 00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:10,520 yeah, I would think it yeah. I, I just don't think it's a top 952 00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:15,400 six thing like it, mostly because it, it gets resolved 953 00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:21,120 pretty quickly and there's never any like concern about who like 954 00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:22,640 Yuki's going to end up with her, you know what I mean? 955 00:53:22,640 --> 00:53:24,920 Like what sort of lowers the the stakes there a bit? 956 00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:27,680 I would really like to see I mentioned Sound Euphonium. 957 00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:30,080 I really would have liked to see Girls band cry here. 958 00:53:30,360 --> 00:53:32,880 I also would have really liked to see for representation 959 00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:36,520 Yatagrasu. But I am happy they did throw in 960 00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:40,480 shows like Pluto which I think deserve to be in this category 961 00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:42,720 and should have been in more categories. 962 00:53:44,040 --> 00:53:45,840 Yeah, I was surprised you didn't vote for this, but you did 963 00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:47,680 explain it pretty well that you like the drama and. 964 00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:51,000 O and Ki think Pluto is a better show than Ocean O Co. 965 00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:53,120 I think Ocean O Co does drama better than Pluto. 966 00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:58,720 Yeah, it's really good O&K arc. Anyways, the winner of this is 967 00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:01,720 Free run. OK, sure. 968 00:54:02,200 --> 00:54:04,960 I'm fine with it. Free run's like the caliber of 969 00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:07,560 show where when it wins, you're just like, I guess, yeah, 970 00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:10,240 whatever, you know? Yeah, like, I don't think it's 971 00:54:10,240 --> 00:54:14,000 the best drama. I think the drama ended is like 972 00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:15,920 relatively limited to be perfect I think. 973 00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:19,320 It's like in the beginning of the story and that it's kind of 974 00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:22,560 pushed to the side. There's some other stuff I don't 975 00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:24,800 know it. I also, I don't really like the 976 00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:27,200 category. And this is like all of society 977 00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:29,640 drama. Almost everything has drama in 978 00:54:29,640 --> 00:54:34,800 it, Everything ever. That's why theater is also 979 00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:38,280 called drama anyway, so. Yeah, I I get for as much as I 980 00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:42,760 love Friedrin fantasy style shows, I really don't like in 981 00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:45,840 best drama unless it's like I I can't think of maybe something 982 00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:49,440 like Chintukai Yuri since I that was brought up. 983 00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:51,760 Like I think the drama in that like fantasy style show is like 984 00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:53,880 incredible. But for the most part, I love 985 00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:57,960 like the actual human interactions in like a normal 986 00:54:57,960 --> 00:55:02,160 world with this category, which is why like to me like I think 987 00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:03,960 like. Normal world like Oshino Co. 988 00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:06,760 Oshino Co for Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a, that's a normal world. 989 00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:09,880 Well, I was joking a bit because there is definitely light 990 00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:13,280 fantasy elements to Oshino Co. Yeah, but you can't prove people 991 00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:15,080 haven't been reincarnated, so Boo. 992 00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:18,520 What about like the you know what, it doesn't matter. 993 00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:21,640 There's like a a Raven God, but you know, that's OK. 994 00:55:21,720 --> 00:55:22,880 I can't prove that there aren't any. 995 00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:25,600 Raven God. OK, it has fantasy albums, but 996 00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:28,280 it's not. Yes, it's very light on them 997 00:55:28,520 --> 00:55:33,160 100% I I do agree with you, I just wanted to be a little. 998 00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:36,040 That's like when, like, Demon Slayer won like best fantasy in 999 00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:38,800 these awards. It's like, yeah, tactically it's 1000 00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:43,280 a fantasy, but like, come on. I would say, I mean, there's 1001 00:55:43,280 --> 00:55:46,640 demons. Yeah, would you could like, 1002 00:55:46,720 --> 00:55:50,600 would you think of best fantasy? I mean, I don't think about, do 1003 00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:52,280 you think? Diva Slayers, of the top ten 1004 00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:54,240 shows, would you think of best fantasy? 1005 00:55:54,680 --> 00:55:57,680 What I would say if you asked me what is the top ten shows that 1006 00:55:57,680 --> 00:56:00,400 the Crunchyroll awards would think is top fantasy, I would 1007 00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:02,840 say Demon Slayer. OK if that answers. 1008 00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:04,160 Yeah. For the crunch, yes. 1009 00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:06,400 For the context of the Crunchyroll Awards, absolutely. 1010 00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:10,640 I wouldn't do it, but I think demon Slayer is fine. 1011 00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:13,960 It is a very OK show. Yeah. 1012 00:56:14,120 --> 00:56:16,720 Would you put something like fate into fantasy? 1013 00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:20,920 Yes. OK, Best Isakai huh? 1014 00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:26,360 Is that a category? It is and we're we're talking 1015 00:56:26,360 --> 00:56:29,640 about it and we both voted for Konosupa season 3. 1016 00:56:29,640 --> 00:56:32,680 It's also the odds on favorite. I don't know why this one had 1017 00:56:32,680 --> 00:56:34,600 it. It's like mostly big awards and 1018 00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:38,320 then also best Isakai. We had jobless reincarnation 1019 00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:43,560 season 2 Re 0 starting life in another world season 3 1020 00:56:43,880 --> 00:56:46,840 Shangri-La frontier. Yep love that. 1021 00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:50,960 So I I would argue it is an Isakai though I don't like the 1022 00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:57,680 show Suicide Squad Isakai and That time I got reincarnated as 1023 00:56:57,680 --> 00:57:02,520 a slime season 3. This is a bunch of shows I don't 1024 00:57:02,520 --> 00:57:07,720 really like and then Konosuba, so that those are my thoughts. 1025 00:57:07,720 --> 00:57:11,120 And this isn't even an arc of Konosuba that I particularly 1026 00:57:11,120 --> 00:57:13,360 enjoy. I think Kozma is like a little 1027 00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:17,560 creepier than necessary in the Iris arc, but I still think the 1028 00:57:17,560 --> 00:57:19,160 show is funny because it's Konosuba. 1029 00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:24,240 Pete, your thoughts here. Yeah, I thought this was a 1030 00:57:24,240 --> 00:57:27,400 pretty weak year of Isakai in general. 1031 00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:31,240 As you can tell by suicide Isakai Squad or whatever is 1032 00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:35,280 nominated in the top 6. Well I think I'll give you along 1033 00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:37,520 with Shangri-La Frontier which is not an Isakai. 1034 00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:40,200 I think they should just relabel this to like fantasy. 1035 00:57:40,680 --> 00:57:44,560 Just general. Well, then you get, I mean, then 1036 00:57:44,560 --> 00:57:47,160 this entire cast, right? Yeah, you get like well and 1037 00:57:47,160 --> 00:57:52,640 Friedrin and. Yeah, I Friedrin should win. 1038 00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:57,280 But like Yoshino Co is we just, I don't know. 1039 00:57:57,360 --> 00:58:00,000 I like it's one of those things we're like, yeah, we know what 1040 00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:02,880 you mean by Isakai, but like, I don't. 1041 00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:06,080 I have when you are the Crunchyroll awards, you should, 1042 00:58:06,240 --> 00:58:09,320 I don't know, have a better I. Don't know, my argument would be 1043 00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:13,040 Shangri-La Frontier is an isakai because a large amount of the 1044 00:58:13,040 --> 00:58:15,960 show is spent in a different world that is living and 1045 00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:18,080 breathing despite the fact that it is a video game. 1046 00:58:18,600 --> 00:58:22,240 Yeah, playing a video game. Yeah, but there are. 1047 00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:25,200 But it's a world that's it's, you know what I mean? 1048 00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:28,160 Like the Bunny is an NPC in that video game. 1049 00:58:28,200 --> 00:58:30,000 She's a living, breathing character, right? 1050 00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:33,800 There are the world is living, it is its own world, despite the 1051 00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:38,480 fact that it is a video game and they go there for the majority 1052 00:58:38,480 --> 00:58:41,320 of the show. OK, I understand what you're 1053 00:58:41,320 --> 00:58:44,600 trying to say. I just, I'm not a purist about 1054 00:58:44,600 --> 00:58:45,440 it. You know what I mean? 1055 00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:51,800 Like SAOI think it's an Isa Kai. Yeah, I guess this is where we 1056 00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:54,600 sort of agree to disagree. Yeah, we can do that. 1057 00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:56,440 I don't think that you're incorrect. 1058 00:58:56,440 --> 00:58:59,440 There's definitely an argument to be made, but I think Isakai 1059 00:58:59,440 --> 00:59:02,000 are generally stupid and dumb anyway, and so we shouldn't be 1060 00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:04,400 too strict with them. Is there anything you think that 1061 00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:07,920 they're missing? From this list there was quite a 1062 00:59:08,320 --> 00:59:12,240 I'm like I think there was quite a few Isakai this year that but 1063 00:59:12,240 --> 00:59:15,640 there weren't good ones. What I think should have been 1064 00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:20,840 included in this one. Maybe something like the 1065 00:59:20,840 --> 00:59:23,280 Moonlight Fantasy 1 should have been nominated. 1066 00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:26,640 I'm happy with RE0 making it. I think it absolutely deserved 1067 00:59:26,640 --> 00:59:30,320 to be here. Isakai Squad Suicide Squad does 1068 00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:32,320 not deserve to be here. I think you could pick any 1069 00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:37,440 random generic Isakai that got released in 2024 and pick that 1070 00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:40,720 one instead. Slime I also don't agree should 1071 00:59:40,720 --> 00:59:43,040 be on this list for as much as I do enjoy Slime. 1072 00:59:43,640 --> 00:59:46,480 The third season was asked like, I'm sorry, it was just bad. 1073 00:59:46,560 --> 00:59:51,240 Like I I don't care that the console arc where it was like 8 1074 00:59:51,240 --> 00:59:54,840 episodes of talking is supposed to build up the world and 1075 00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:56,800 whatever. It was really boring and 1076 00:59:57,280 --> 01:00:00,080 terribly paced. Winners. 1077 01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:02,680 Yeah, we picked Konosuba. I think this is the best season 1078 01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:05,560 of Konosuba since the movie. I guess it's the only season 1079 01:00:05,560 --> 01:00:07,960 since, but I think it I think the movie is the funniest. 1080 01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:10,600 And if you take all the seasons, I think the third season that we 1081 01:00:10,600 --> 01:00:12,880 got this year was the funniest so far. 1082 01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:15,880 So that's why I picked it. I think it's gonna be either 1083 01:00:15,880 --> 01:00:20,480 between Carl Subba or RE0. Yeah, I I think that is a good 1084 01:00:20,480 --> 01:00:22,800 assessment. I kind of enjoyed Suicide Squad. 1085 01:00:22,800 --> 01:00:23,640 He's Sky. It's bad. 1086 01:00:23,640 --> 01:00:24,920 I'm not gonna say that it was good. 1087 01:00:25,280 --> 01:00:29,320 There was a charm to it. And the charm was the characters 1088 01:00:29,320 --> 01:00:31,840 were fun. The lack of charm was the world 1089 01:00:31,840 --> 01:00:34,160 they went to was stupid and everything was stupid around it 1090 01:00:34,160 --> 01:00:34,960 and. Everything was. 1091 01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:38,440 Bad. The Ed was also amazing. 1092 01:00:38,440 --> 01:00:40,760 Yes, it was. The Ed was so good. 1093 01:00:43,120 --> 01:00:47,560 I, I, I think they, they tried. That's what I'll say. 1094 01:00:49,440 --> 01:00:52,960 And the winner is. Rezero Season 3. 1095 01:00:55,200 --> 01:00:58,840 Best action show. OK, let's get to it. 1096 01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:04,520 We got bleach, thousand year blood war, Dan to Dan, demon 1097 01:01:04,520 --> 01:01:10,760 Slayer, Kaiju #8 solo levelling which is what I voted for, and 1098 01:01:10,760 --> 01:01:13,360 windbreaker which is what you voted for. 1099 01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:17,480 Love First of all, can't believe Free Ren is not on this list. 1100 01:01:17,560 --> 01:01:21,520 It had two of my favorite 2 of like my top five fights in like 1101 01:01:21,560 --> 01:01:24,720 anime history. Like the action in Free Ren is 1102 01:01:24,840 --> 01:01:26,640 incredible. The fact that it's not listed 1103 01:01:26,640 --> 01:01:30,120 here in something like Demon Slayer, the training arc is 1104 01:01:30,120 --> 01:01:32,960 where I believe, if I'm not mistaken, one fight in the 1105 01:01:32,960 --> 01:01:37,800 entire if you considered that. You foldable to that fight. 1106 01:01:37,800 --> 01:01:42,080 Though they did do that fight, but that that demonstrator does 1107 01:01:42,080 --> 01:01:45,600 not deserve to be on this list and it shouldn't be on any list 1108 01:01:45,600 --> 01:01:48,880 this year. The training arc is a it's 1109 01:01:48,960 --> 01:01:52,680 Canon, but, and I will put this in like a quotation marks, it's 1110 01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:55,560 a filler arc. It's literally there to. 1111 01:01:55,560 --> 01:01:58,680 If you ever seen Log Horizon season 3 it's literally there to 1112 01:01:58,680 --> 01:02:01,920 set up the next season of it's show. 1113 01:02:02,640 --> 01:02:07,080 Should not be included. I voted for whatever for 1114 01:02:07,080 --> 01:02:09,240 Windbreaker. I think the choreography and 1115 01:02:09,240 --> 01:02:12,440 windbreaker is just next level. I think that's what separates it 1116 01:02:12,440 --> 01:02:20,040 from other action shows where you see such a detail to the 1117 01:02:20,040 --> 01:02:23,680 choreography that I haven't really seen in anime. 1118 01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:26,920 Like the only other anime I've seen this level of choreography 1119 01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:33,240 to is link click so and I'm I'm guessing other like martial arts 1120 01:02:33,240 --> 01:02:36,000 shows have really good choreography I just haven't seen 1121 01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:38,120 them. But I mean in the last couple 1122 01:02:38,120 --> 01:02:40,560 years the best choreography to me has been Windbreaker and 1123 01:02:40,560 --> 01:02:43,840 Linklik. So that's why I included or 1124 01:02:43,840 --> 01:02:45,440 that's why I picked Windbreaker to win. 1125 01:02:46,400 --> 01:02:50,520 Great, I picked solo levelling because deep within me, Pete, I 1126 01:02:50,520 --> 01:02:51,800 know you don't. Really, that's what's going to 1127 01:02:51,800 --> 01:02:53,200 win. By the way, solo leveling is a 1128 01:02:53,200 --> 01:02:55,120 fun thing going to win. Good guess. 1129 01:02:56,240 --> 01:02:59,680 I like can't remember, but I, I, I, I remember enough to not be 1130 01:02:59,680 --> 01:03:03,120 surprised if soul loving wins. The new doom game just came out 1131 01:03:03,520 --> 01:03:05,960 in all of us. There is the desire to just slay 1132 01:03:05,960 --> 01:03:08,800 thousands of demons, RIP and tear and all of that. 1133 01:03:08,800 --> 01:03:12,160 And this provided it to me. I thought that especially the 1134 01:03:12,160 --> 01:03:16,760 last fight against Egress was very good and they just went 1135 01:03:16,760 --> 01:03:18,280 like really fucking hard on that. 1136 01:03:18,400 --> 01:03:21,960 And unlike some other shows where they go really hard on one 1137 01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:25,000 thing, the rest of the show didn't particularly suffer for 1138 01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:27,480 it, which is nice. I must say though, I did not 1139 01:03:27,480 --> 01:03:30,520 watch Windbreaker because the concept seems sort of stupid. 1140 01:03:30,520 --> 01:03:34,400 To me, and I'm in the same boat, which is when a show that has a 1141 01:03:34,400 --> 01:03:37,080 terrible concept blows me away like Windbreaker. 1142 01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:41,560 You should check it out. What's weird to me a bit is 1143 01:03:41,560 --> 01:03:45,520 Kaiju #8 being on here, there are some good fights and stuff, 1144 01:03:45,520 --> 01:03:48,480 but like it also is one of those animes that the fights are 1145 01:03:48,480 --> 01:03:51,320 padded by a lot of standing. Yeah, I don't. 1146 01:03:51,680 --> 01:03:53,640 Yeah, I guess I. Don't. 1147 01:03:54,120 --> 01:03:57,720 Mind it being on this list because we also had it because 1148 01:03:57,720 --> 01:04:01,160 it does have a ton of action and I I think. 1149 01:04:01,160 --> 01:04:03,160 I disagreed with it when it was on our list. 1150 01:04:03,200 --> 01:04:08,000 Yeah, so I I think Kaiju #8 is here for quantity, not quality. 1151 01:04:08,880 --> 01:04:11,160 I think some of the fights are good even, and have great 1152 01:04:11,160 --> 01:04:14,880 moments. But yeah, I just also think that 1153 01:04:15,360 --> 01:04:18,840 to me, when you're standing around in a fight for too long 1154 01:04:19,360 --> 01:04:22,640 and like talking, but like, the fight's still happening, it just 1155 01:04:22,640 --> 01:04:26,040 loses me eventually. And that's a lot of anime. 1156 01:04:26,040 --> 01:04:27,720 So, you know, take that for what you will. 1157 01:04:27,720 --> 01:04:30,200 Like, it's just my opinion. I understand it's probably not 1158 01:04:30,200 --> 01:04:32,800 the world's most popular one, but those were my thoughts 1159 01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:35,960 anyways. To the winner, Solo leveling. 1160 01:04:36,080 --> 01:04:37,920 Good call, Pete. Yeah. 1161 01:04:38,320 --> 01:04:42,360 I'm I'm fine with this like. Yeah, I think it it does action 1162 01:04:42,360 --> 01:04:43,280 well. It does. 1163 01:04:43,920 --> 01:04:48,440 It needs to. In fact it does, yes, as that is 1164 01:04:48,440 --> 01:04:51,080 a large amount of the show. Yeah, I'm fine with this 1165 01:04:51,080 --> 01:04:52,240 wedding. I I just can't believe 1166 01:04:52,240 --> 01:04:54,200 Friedrin's got nominated. It's crazy. 1167 01:04:54,880 --> 01:04:58,120 It is a little crazy. Again, I think it's because of 1168 01:04:58,240 --> 01:05:00,160 said audience that I was talking about before. 1169 01:05:00,160 --> 01:05:02,960 We're something like free run is much slower paced than what 1170 01:05:02,960 --> 01:05:05,240 they're used to. And it doesn't matter that there 1171 01:05:05,240 --> 01:05:08,840 are amazing fights in it, because it's not a fight show in 1172 01:05:08,840 --> 01:05:11,680 brain, you know? Which is nuts because like ever 1173 01:05:11,680 --> 01:05:15,120 I if I was thinking every conflict in the show is resolved 1174 01:05:15,120 --> 01:05:18,600 by fighting. It's like there are like early. 1175 01:05:18,600 --> 01:05:20,840 Conflicts they resolve through like talking and stuff, but 1176 01:05:20,840 --> 01:05:22,120 yeah. A lot of them are in fact 1177 01:05:22,120 --> 01:05:24,680 resolved, you know. Like anything with demons. 1178 01:05:25,200 --> 01:05:31,040 Goal track of the demons, Aura, Linne, Lunger, the dragon, the 1179 01:05:31,040 --> 01:05:34,720 magazine arc. It's just like there's so much 1180 01:05:34,760 --> 01:05:38,280 action in the shell, the fact that it's not nominated and it's 1181 01:05:38,280 --> 01:05:40,680 like high production, high value stuff. 1182 01:05:41,320 --> 01:05:43,080 So. Huge miss by French roll on this 1183 01:05:43,080 --> 01:05:45,240 one. OK, best comedy. 1184 01:05:47,240 --> 01:05:50,320 We have Delicious and Dungeon, which is what I voted for. 1185 01:05:51,120 --> 01:05:54,400 We have Konosuba Season 3, which is what you voted for. 1186 01:05:55,240 --> 01:05:59,320 We have the National Season 2. We have my dear friend Nokaton. 1187 01:06:00,440 --> 01:06:06,320 We have Ramma 1/2 or one out of two or one half, and then we 1188 01:06:06,320 --> 01:06:10,240 have Spy Family. I think we can keep this quick 1189 01:06:10,240 --> 01:06:11,800 just because comedy is subjective. 1190 01:06:11,800 --> 01:06:15,120 I am a 12 year old boy living in a man's body. 1191 01:06:15,240 --> 01:06:17,640 I think fart jokes are hilarious, That's why I picked 1192 01:06:17,640 --> 01:06:20,400 Konosuba. However, this is the Crunchyroll 1193 01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:22,040 awards. I'm going to assume Mashall 1194 01:06:22,040 --> 01:06:28,880 wins. OK, I I just Mashall is a funny 1195 01:06:28,880 --> 01:06:31,800 show. Everything else besides Mashall 1196 01:06:31,800 --> 01:06:36,800 and this isn't fair for comedy is is written bad, kind of the 1197 01:06:36,880 --> 01:06:40,640 the characters are bad, the the plot is bad. 1198 01:06:40,760 --> 01:06:45,000 It's a lot of it is bad, and so even though I enjoy it because 1199 01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:46,640 it is funny, I wasn't going to vote for it. 1200 01:06:46,640 --> 01:06:50,240 So I picked Delicious Dungeon, which was just sort of like a 1201 01:06:50,240 --> 01:06:53,080 very good and solid show. I think we all don't know what 1202 01:06:53,080 --> 01:06:54,880 my dear friend No Catan is doing here. 1203 01:06:54,880 --> 01:06:57,240 No, because as you said, comedy is subjective. 1204 01:06:57,240 --> 01:06:58,880 Except for this one. Except for that one. 1205 01:06:59,600 --> 01:07:02,360 Yeah, because I don't think I've met anyone who likes it. 1206 01:07:02,480 --> 01:07:04,960 I agree and I am online all the time. 1207 01:07:05,480 --> 01:07:09,800 Yeah, like, what a disappointment of a show for 1208 01:07:09,800 --> 01:07:11,480 everyone who likes viral marketing. 1209 01:07:11,840 --> 01:07:16,640 Anyways, the best winner of this is Nashville. 1210 01:07:16,640 --> 01:07:18,720 Good call. I would not have called that. 1211 01:07:19,360 --> 01:07:24,040 I think I think season 1 won best comedy, so I think that's 1212 01:07:24,040 --> 01:07:25,880 why I picked. OK, it is. 1213 01:07:26,040 --> 01:07:30,360 I will say it is a funny show. They have a couple of jokes and 1214 01:07:30,360 --> 01:07:31,720 they make me laugh when I watch them. 1215 01:07:32,360 --> 01:07:36,880 But I don't know, I just, I think a lot of it is bad and it 1216 01:07:36,880 --> 01:07:38,480 sort of hurts how funny it is to me. 1217 01:07:38,680 --> 01:07:43,680 Because anyways, best romance? Best. 1218 01:07:43,960 --> 01:07:45,080 Let's go. Here we go. 1219 01:07:45,680 --> 01:07:47,680 Yeah, we have a sign of affection. 1220 01:07:47,680 --> 01:07:50,240 That is what you voted for in Blue Box. 1221 01:07:50,560 --> 01:07:53,840 We have Nakanay, too many losing heroines. 1222 01:07:54,160 --> 01:07:59,080 We have Ronma 1/2, We have Scott Pilgrim takes off and we have 1223 01:07:59,080 --> 01:08:04,400 the dangers in my heart. OK, I'll just I'll I'll start 1224 01:08:04,400 --> 01:08:06,040 with this dangers in my hardest winning. 1225 01:08:08,120 --> 01:08:15,560 Why? This one's tough. 1226 01:08:16,240 --> 01:08:19,920 Blue box. If we are supposed to be looking 1227 01:08:19,920 --> 01:08:24,800 at the run times of when voting, this should only be the first 1228 01:08:24,800 --> 01:08:31,160 half of blue box which had 1% romance in it. 1229 01:08:31,160 --> 01:08:32,960 It was. It was all building. 1230 01:08:33,000 --> 01:08:36,560 The romance of blue box comes in the second halfway more than the 1231 01:08:36,560 --> 01:08:38,560 first half. It should not even be. 1232 01:08:39,479 --> 01:08:42,080 It should not be on the slip. I'm fine with it being on the 1233 01:08:42,080 --> 01:08:45,680 list next year. Side of Affection was my pick. 1234 01:08:45,680 --> 01:08:48,240 I think it is the best romance of that year. 1235 01:08:48,800 --> 01:08:50,279 Well, personally, it's not my favorite. 1236 01:08:50,279 --> 01:08:53,000 I think it was my second favorite behind Kibinito Doke, 1237 01:08:53,359 --> 01:08:55,000 which I think should have been nominated. 1238 01:08:55,000 --> 01:08:57,800 This season was incredible in terms of the romance. 1239 01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:01,880 Well, yeah. I mean, for like the popularity 1240 01:09:01,880 --> 01:09:03,600 award, it's got to be dangerous in my heart. 1241 01:09:03,600 --> 01:09:06,279 Like, I don't know, like everyone's going to vote for 1242 01:09:06,279 --> 01:09:09,359 that. So I I picked, I picked time of 1243 01:09:09,359 --> 01:09:11,439 affection, but date is in my heart is winning. 1244 01:09:12,439 --> 01:09:15,200 Yeah, there's an argument to be made that machinery isn't really 1245 01:09:15,200 --> 01:09:17,279 a romance. I'm fight with that winning too 1246 01:09:17,279 --> 01:09:18,960 just because I was super popular as well. 1247 01:09:20,000 --> 01:09:21,080 Yeah. I'm not fighting with that 1248 01:09:21,080 --> 01:09:23,279 winning. I think it fucking sucks, yeah. 1249 01:09:24,399 --> 01:09:28,640 When did we bring that up? I voted for some Scott Pilgrim 1250 01:09:28,640 --> 01:09:30,920 takes off because I love Scott Pilgrim and I think this was 1251 01:09:30,920 --> 01:09:34,920 like a fun sort of remix of that story that sort of examined the 1252 01:09:34,920 --> 01:09:37,479 faults of the original 1 and like gave the characters good 1253 01:09:37,479 --> 01:09:39,600 growth moments and everything like that. 1254 01:09:39,600 --> 01:09:42,960 And sort of drove home some messaging that was maybe not 1255 01:09:42,960 --> 01:09:45,800 clear in the first one, which is good. 1256 01:09:45,920 --> 01:09:47,640 I, I do like a side of affection though. 1257 01:09:47,640 --> 01:09:50,840 I, I think that's, that's a good choice as well. 1258 01:09:50,840 --> 01:09:54,480 I think as far as like a pure romance goes, right, like a show 1259 01:09:54,480 --> 01:09:58,600 that is very clearly focused on romance 1st and most and it 1260 01:09:58,600 --> 01:10:02,920 arguably it's one of only two shows on this list that did 1261 01:10:02,920 --> 01:10:04,960 that. I think it's the best choice, 1262 01:10:05,240 --> 01:10:09,840 but Pete, the winner of Best romance, it is. 1263 01:10:09,880 --> 01:10:12,560 Oh well, you can't see my slides so you won't get this joke, but 1264 01:10:12,560 --> 01:10:14,000 it's solo levelling. I did that. 1265 01:10:15,560 --> 01:10:18,080 Oh, the sister and the brother. Yeah, they had a good romance 1266 01:10:18,080 --> 01:10:20,120 going on. That I do think that seems very 1267 01:10:20,120 --> 01:10:23,080 funny. Is blue box What? 1268 01:10:23,920 --> 01:10:25,400 Yep, Blue box. Why? 1269 01:10:26,400 --> 01:10:28,960 I don't know. That's it. 1270 01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:32,640 OK, I think this is the first. I think this is the first one 1271 01:10:32,640 --> 01:10:35,160 where I'm like, this is like 100% incorrect. 1272 01:10:35,560 --> 01:10:39,480 Like this is so wrong. The 1st 12 episodes of blue. 1273 01:10:39,600 --> 01:10:44,200 You're telling me the best romance of the year were the 1274 01:10:44,200 --> 01:10:48,000 first 12 episodes of Blue Box? You got to be out your God damn 1275 01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:49,600 mind. That's terrible. 1276 01:10:49,600 --> 01:10:50,680 They shouldn't. It shouldn't be. 1277 01:10:50,800 --> 01:10:53,920 It should not even be on this list, let alone win. 1278 01:10:53,920 --> 01:10:59,080 This is a terrible pick. I love to hear it. 1279 01:10:59,720 --> 01:11:03,280 I don't know anything about Blue Box other than people have told 1280 01:11:03,280 --> 01:11:08,240 me it's not great so. I will say the anime is much as 1281 01:11:08,320 --> 01:11:09,960 me and. Is it better OK me? 1282 01:11:09,960 --> 01:11:13,120 And Cosette both read the manga, and when we reviewed the anime, 1283 01:11:13,120 --> 01:11:16,360 we were both surprised by how much more we enjoyed the anime 1284 01:11:16,360 --> 01:11:18,840 versus the manga. OK, I'll check it out then. 1285 01:11:19,320 --> 01:11:22,120 I think we both gave the we're both have the manga like a six 1286 01:11:22,120 --> 01:11:24,120 and I think we both gave the anime an 8. 1287 01:11:25,280 --> 01:11:29,040 I I I thoroughly enjoyed the anime more, but the the 1st 12 1288 01:11:29,040 --> 01:11:32,880 episodes of blue box. No, it's no, it's not even like 1289 01:11:33,040 --> 01:11:40,480 it's like 1 girl, the side loser girl sort of figuring herself 1290 01:11:40,480 --> 01:11:43,160 out before anybody else. This should not be on the list. 1291 01:11:43,160 --> 01:11:45,640 This is a This is a genuine terrible pick. 1292 01:11:46,200 --> 01:11:49,200 OK, terrible pick. It's just sports anime in the 1293 01:11:49,200 --> 01:11:51,280 1st 12 episodes. It's not a romance. 1294 01:11:51,280 --> 01:11:52,120 It's. Just yeah, it should. 1295 01:11:52,400 --> 01:11:53,440 You're right, it should have been best. 1296 01:11:53,440 --> 01:11:55,760 Slicing, oh, what, their opposite gender up? 1297 01:11:55,760 --> 01:11:57,920 It's a romance. It's like, no, that shit's still 1298 01:11:57,920 --> 01:12:01,320 developing that this is a terrible, this is a terrible 1299 01:12:01,320 --> 01:12:05,160 thing. If you vote for I just say if 1300 01:12:05,160 --> 01:12:06,920 you vote for a blue box, you're wrong. 1301 01:12:07,360 --> 01:12:09,400 This is a terrible. Terrible thing. 1302 01:12:09,560 --> 01:12:10,800 OK, I like. I love this. 1303 01:12:10,800 --> 01:12:14,000 This is great. Terrible thing we have best 1304 01:12:14,000 --> 01:12:15,840 background art. I'm sorry, one more thing like 1305 01:12:15,840 --> 01:12:19,160 like I don't have anything. There are shows that where like 1306 01:12:19,200 --> 01:12:23,080 I get where it's like, OK, it's super popular, not my alley. 1307 01:12:23,080 --> 01:12:26,440 I get why it won. I don't get why this one. 1308 01:12:27,000 --> 01:12:29,640 I I don't get it. It makes no sense. 1309 01:12:29,680 --> 01:12:30,880 OK, sorry. Go ahead, Miles. 1310 01:12:31,400 --> 01:12:33,880 No, I love it best. If you want to come back to it 1311 01:12:33,880 --> 01:12:36,920 at any point, just let me know. We're doing best background art. 1312 01:12:36,960 --> 01:12:38,840 OK, We can go on. This one. 1313 01:12:39,160 --> 01:12:41,760 OK, Dan to Dan, Delicious and dungeon. 1314 01:12:42,120 --> 01:12:46,320 Demon Slayer free Ren Pluto Apothecary Diaries. 1315 01:12:46,320 --> 01:12:49,720 You voted delicious dungeon. I voted Apothecary Diaries. 1316 01:12:50,360 --> 01:12:52,480 This feels like something that's going to be pretty subjective, 1317 01:12:52,480 --> 01:12:56,000 to be perfectly honest, because all of these shows have, well, I 1318 01:12:56,000 --> 01:12:58,120 haven't seen Demon Slayer. All of these shows except for 1319 01:12:58,120 --> 01:13:01,560 maybe Demon Slayer have great attention to detail and 1320 01:13:01,640 --> 01:13:04,720 background sets and it's all good and consistent and all 1321 01:13:04,720 --> 01:13:07,280 that. I'm guessing you like the 1322 01:13:07,280 --> 01:13:10,120 different aesthetics of the layers of the dungeon and how 1323 01:13:10,160 --> 01:13:11,840 those play into the. Background yeah, how how that 1324 01:13:11,840 --> 01:13:13,720 was played out in delicious dungeon. 1325 01:13:13,720 --> 01:13:16,800 I really enjoyed shows I think should be included in this. 1326 01:13:16,800 --> 01:13:20,560 Sound Euphonium should have made it and even with the the change 1327 01:13:20,560 --> 01:13:24,440 in studio laid back camp season 3 still had incredible 1328 01:13:24,440 --> 01:13:27,440 background art so I would have liked those two included. 1329 01:13:27,440 --> 01:13:31,240 I would have had Sound Euphonium win this category if it was 1330 01:13:31,240 --> 01:13:35,600 nominated, but my runner up would be Delicious Dungeon as in 1331 01:13:35,600 --> 01:13:38,040 terms of who else won this what? What were the nominees again? 1332 01:13:38,040 --> 01:13:41,560 I'm also pick the most popular. That's either going to be Dan to 1333 01:13:41,560 --> 01:13:44,720 Dan Free run or Demon Slayer. The other options are Pluto and 1334 01:13:44,720 --> 01:13:45,680 Apocalypse. I'll pick. 1335 01:13:46,120 --> 01:13:52,560 I'll pick, I'll say free run win. 1336 01:13:53,320 --> 01:13:55,640 OK. And the winner of this award is 1337 01:13:56,440 --> 01:13:57,440 free run. OK, cool. 1338 01:13:58,320 --> 01:13:59,720 Yeah. I'm I'm fine with that. 1339 01:13:59,720 --> 01:14:07,160 I I love the art and a design that goes into rerun. 1340 01:14:07,160 --> 01:14:11,640 In terms of background art though, not as much. 1341 01:14:11,640 --> 01:14:14,120 There's like 1 scene in particular where I think the 1342 01:14:14,120 --> 01:14:18,360 background art shines and that's when Free Ren binds Fern, her 1343 01:14:18,360 --> 01:14:20,040 birthday present. I think it's in like the early. 1344 01:14:20,040 --> 01:14:21,720 That's literally the scene I was thinking. 1345 01:14:21,960 --> 01:14:25,760 That well, it's iconic. It's like people remember that 1346 01:14:25,760 --> 01:14:28,480 scene and remember the background and but like a lot of 1347 01:14:28,480 --> 01:14:31,880 times in terms of background art for this, it's like they're just 1348 01:14:31,880 --> 01:14:34,560 travelling on a wagon and the background art is trees. 1349 01:14:34,560 --> 01:14:37,080 It's like, OK, who did trees better? 1350 01:14:37,080 --> 01:14:40,240 Free Rin or laid back camp? And shockingly, I think it's 1351 01:14:40,240 --> 01:14:44,040 laid back camp so. I think there are background 1352 01:14:44,040 --> 01:14:45,600 scenes. There's other that. 1353 01:14:46,120 --> 01:14:47,360 Yeah. Like, OK, like think about like 1354 01:14:47,360 --> 01:14:49,160 the major hunger. And stuff like. 1355 01:14:49,400 --> 01:14:52,640 And well like was this include season 1 of Free run? 1356 01:14:52,680 --> 01:14:54,840 The whole yeah includes the entire thing. 1357 01:14:55,240 --> 01:14:58,120 Yeah, so like, but you know, like, again, the scene where 1358 01:14:58,120 --> 01:15:00,240 she's hovering in the background of the moon and the stars and 1359 01:15:00,240 --> 01:15:02,680 stuff like that is just such a powerful scene. 1360 01:15:02,680 --> 01:15:05,160 And partially because of that, that whole castle and everything 1361 01:15:05,160 --> 01:15:08,320 has like good decor. When they do the dancing arc 1362 01:15:08,480 --> 01:15:12,040 with Stark and Fern, like I think that is well decorated. 1363 01:15:12,360 --> 01:15:14,920 I didn't vote for it, but I think it's I think it's worthy. 1364 01:15:15,600 --> 01:15:19,800 No, it's worthy 100%, but like I dude, I like Saudi phony. 1365 01:15:19,800 --> 01:15:22,320 I'm just they killed it. They absolutely, yeah. 1366 01:15:22,800 --> 01:15:26,080 It's a studio that's going to kill it, so yeah. 1367 01:15:26,800 --> 01:15:29,080 Cool for you in winning. Yeah, that. 1368 01:15:29,080 --> 01:15:31,160 That's not like crazy take or anything. 1369 01:15:31,200 --> 01:15:32,800 So cool.

It but you get it OK. 1376 01:15:49,960 --> 01:15:54,800 Blue box winning with stuff like like If Dangers in My Heart 1377 01:15:54,800 --> 01:15:59,600 wasn't included and Mockney wasn't included, I can see 1378 01:15:59,600 --> 01:16:02,480 people maybe voting for blue Box because like that's kind of in 1379 01:16:02,480 --> 01:16:08,960 like the similar vein. I can't believe blue box 1. 1380 01:16:08,960 --> 01:16:12,080 That's the biggest L and it's I think it's not even close. 1381 01:16:12,560 --> 01:16:14,120 OK, I love it.

This is, this is. 1387 01:16:26,920 --> 01:16:29,080 There's two options and one wasn't nominated. 1388 01:16:30,160 --> 01:16:32,080 OK, that's interesting that you've decided that you were 1389 01:16:32,080 --> 01:16:35,120 wrong and that who I voted for should be. 1390 01:16:35,120 --> 01:16:37,400 Did you vote for soul leveling because you're a Crunchyroll 1391 01:16:37,400 --> 01:16:40,000 shill? Not on the list. 1392 01:16:40,360 --> 01:16:43,600 I voted for Apothecary Diaries. OK, but let me go through the 1393 01:16:43,600 --> 01:16:47,040 noms. We have Fuga, Yamashiro from Dan 1394 01:16:47,040 --> 01:16:51,600 to Dan. We have Hado Sotozaki Demon 1395 01:16:51,600 --> 01:16:55,680 Slayer. We have K Ichiro Saito from Free 1396 01:16:55,680 --> 01:16:59,080 Rin. We have Megumi Ishitani from the 1397 01:16:59,080 --> 01:17:02,560 One Piece fan letter. Yep, I don't know what that. 1398 01:17:02,560 --> 01:17:06,040 Is people loved it was like a 1 episode one piece thing. 1399 01:17:06,160 --> 01:17:09,440 People loved it.

I don't even think anything 1407 01:17:35,320 --> 01:17:38,600 comes close to those two in terms of direction this year. 1408 01:17:39,160 --> 01:17:43,480 And since Ocean O Co is not on the list, I'm going to pick 1409 01:17:43,480 --> 01:17:45,280 Free. Ren's my winner and I also think 1410 01:17:45,280 --> 01:17:49,800 it will win and should win. OK, I would like to shout out 1411 01:17:50,040 --> 01:17:52,760 Tomo Yuki Kurakala from Dead Dead Demons. 1412 01:17:52,760 --> 01:17:55,680 That's a great because I think the direction in that was 1413 01:17:55,680 --> 01:17:56,560 absolutely. Phenomenal that. 1414 01:17:56,560 --> 01:17:59,720 Also for one for background art, Dead of Demons had an incredible 1415 01:17:59,720 --> 01:18:01,960 background art. Incredible background. 1416 01:18:01,960 --> 01:18:04,720 Art As a as a massive Dead to Demons fan, I'm just happy to be 1417 01:18:04,720 --> 01:18:06,360 here. Yeah, we got one knob. 1418 01:18:06,920 --> 01:18:10,440 We're we're no one watched that show and they should have, but 1419 01:18:10,440 --> 01:18:12,400 they didn't. And so, you know, yeah, I, I 1420 01:18:12,400 --> 01:18:15,720 understand how these things work on my first row. 1421 01:18:17,560 --> 01:18:21,000 Yeah, I, I agree with the O and Ki think the direction is super 1422 01:18:21,000 --> 01:18:22,840 good there. What I won't agree with is I 1423 01:18:22,840 --> 01:18:25,360 think Apothecary Diaries direction sort of blows the free 1424 01:18:25,360 --> 01:18:29,000 run direction out of the water, but they're both good. 1425 01:18:29,640 --> 01:18:35,200 The winner of this is free run. So you get your dub there 1426 01:18:35,520 --> 01:18:36,840 because you're the Crunchyroll shill. 1427 01:18:37,680 --> 01:18:42,440 I'm sorry, that deserves to win. That direction is mind boggling 1428 01:18:42,600 --> 01:18:45,240 how good it is. Solid 4th place for me on the 1429 01:18:45,240 --> 01:18:47,360 year. I'll take that for the year, 1430 01:18:47,360 --> 01:18:48,960 Sure, whatever. OK, Yeah, OK. 1431 01:18:49,040 --> 01:18:51,680 Yeah, that was I mean, I named three that I liked more of the 1432 01:18:51,680 --> 01:18:53,600 year, right. And then that was that was 4 1433 01:18:53,600 --> 01:18:55,480 I'll. Take four overall, yeah, that's 1434 01:18:55,600 --> 01:18:58,800 good. OK, best character design. 1435 01:18:59,160 --> 01:19:02,080 I know you have an issue with one of these. 1436 01:19:02,080 --> 01:19:04,480 Kaiju number. You want the biggest owl of this 1437 01:19:04,480 --> 01:19:06,560 entire thing? Is Kaiju #8 being nominated for 1438 01:19:06,560 --> 01:19:08,440 this category? It it's not. 1439 01:19:08,640 --> 01:19:12,800 And if there was a worst character design of the year 1440 01:19:13,240 --> 01:19:16,080 that only should Kaiju #8 should be nominated, it should win. 1441 01:19:18,200 --> 01:19:21,360 I OK I don't I don't know if this is going to be a hot take 1442 01:19:21,360 --> 01:19:25,520 or not. I like the Danda Dan demon forms 1443 01:19:26,240 --> 01:19:30,280 much less than I like any of the character design in Kaiju #8. 1444 01:19:30,600 --> 01:19:34,240 I think that the people in the spirits and stuff in Danda Dan 1445 01:19:34,240 --> 01:19:38,360 are great. I hate the way they look when 1446 01:19:38,360 --> 01:19:39,920 they like power. Out. 1447 01:19:40,000 --> 01:19:42,200 Sure. With that being said, Dan to Dan 1448 01:19:42,200 --> 01:19:43,720 is our first nomination. OK. 1449 01:19:44,520 --> 01:19:46,080 Then we have delicious and dungeon. 1450 01:19:46,080 --> 01:19:50,360 This is what you voted for 100% We have demon Slayer. 1451 01:19:50,680 --> 01:19:54,040 That makes sense. Another one that absolutely not 1452 01:19:54,040 --> 01:19:56,920 being nominated in this. Category I I think Demon Slayer 1453 01:19:56,920 --> 01:19:59,320 has pretty good character design. 1454 01:19:59,440 --> 01:20:02,880 Just from year over year though that it does nothing, it changes 1455 01:20:02,880 --> 01:20:05,640 nothing. It like yeah, the character 1456 01:20:05,640 --> 01:20:08,000 designs are the same year over year. 1457 01:20:08,000 --> 01:20:09,320 That's why I would not include it. 1458 01:20:09,960 --> 01:20:13,120 That's fair that butterfly girl exists and I think that design 1459 01:20:13,120 --> 01:20:15,160 is fantastic. There's another sequel that I 1460 01:20:15,160 --> 01:20:17,880 will that was left off that I will mention which I think 1461 01:20:17,880 --> 01:20:21,680 should be deserved. Here, OK, we have free run from 1462 01:20:22,480 --> 01:20:25,040 the free run show. We have Kaiju #8, which I think 1463 01:20:25,040 --> 01:20:26,440 we both agree should not be on here. 1464 01:20:26,440 --> 01:20:28,520 Nope. And then we have the Apothecary 1465 01:20:28,520 --> 01:20:31,320 Diaries, which I voted for right on. 1466 01:20:31,520 --> 01:20:34,480 I think yeah, I guess they are. It's a lot less fantastical than 1467 01:20:35,280 --> 01:20:38,640 a lot of AKA all of these noms, but I think like the actual like 1468 01:20:38,640 --> 01:20:41,400 costume designs and stuff are great in that show. 1469 01:20:41,400 --> 01:20:44,560 I think they do a lot to tell you about the characters and 1470 01:20:45,440 --> 01:20:48,920 other aspects of characters. Like other than just like 1471 01:20:48,920 --> 01:20:51,560 physical design, like the personality designs and stuff I 1472 01:20:51,560 --> 01:20:55,160 think are super deep in that show, which is why I voted for 1473 01:20:55,160 --> 01:20:57,080 it. Also because I'm a stand Pete, 1474 01:20:57,160 --> 01:21:00,240 what are your thoughts here? Yeah, so this one, the one that 1475 01:21:00,240 --> 01:21:02,440 I think should have been included, that was missed. 1476 01:21:02,440 --> 01:21:06,280 And I'm it did technically come out in 2023, but like it aired 1477 01:21:06,280 --> 01:21:09,120 here in 2024. So I think when they have stuff 1478 01:21:09,120 --> 01:21:12,840 like that, they include it. And that's Uma Musumi wrote to 1479 01:21:12,840 --> 01:21:14,960 the top. I think Uma Musumi's character 1480 01:21:14,960 --> 01:21:17,200 designs are absolutely just fucking insane. 1481 01:21:17,640 --> 01:21:18,880 And I think it should be included. 1482 01:21:18,880 --> 01:21:22,600 But what Delicious and Dodger did for their character design 1483 01:21:22,600 --> 01:21:26,080 in this fantasy world that was so unique and so fun. 1484 01:21:26,560 --> 01:21:29,680 This is including stuff like the frog suits when they get into 1485 01:21:29,680 --> 01:21:33,280 like the poison tentacles, I include as I include as part as 1486 01:21:33,280 --> 01:21:37,040 character design, like I think like wardrobes and uniforms and 1487 01:21:37,040 --> 01:21:39,280 stuff like that. What they wear are included in 1488 01:21:39,280 --> 01:21:40,880 like the character design themselves. 1489 01:21:41,240 --> 01:21:43,560 So when they include stuff like that in the shell, for me, this 1490 01:21:43,560 --> 01:21:47,120 is a clear front runner winner. It's not going to win, but I 1491 01:21:47,120 --> 01:21:50,720 think that this is like I out of these 6, I think it is the best, 1492 01:21:51,120 --> 01:21:56,040 but what I think will win, I'll riot if it's Kaiju #8 but I'll 1493 01:21:56,040 --> 01:21:58,320 say I'll say freer and wins this one again. 1494 01:21:58,400 --> 01:22:00,440 No wait, no Don De. Don hasn't won yet. 1495 01:22:00,440 --> 01:22:02,720 I'm going to pick Don De. Don, you're going to pick Don de 1496 01:22:02,720 --> 01:22:04,760 Don is 1 it. Hasn't won any. 1497 01:22:04,760 --> 01:22:07,320 Like it won like OPS and songs and stuff, but it hasn't won 1498 01:22:07,320 --> 01:22:09,360 like a character or show. So I'm going to go with Don De 1499 01:22:09,360 --> 01:22:11,120 Don in this one. OK, great. 1500 01:22:11,560 --> 01:22:14,560 The winner of this is Don De Don. 1501 01:22:14,800 --> 01:22:16,640 Oh wow, I got it right. Let's fucking go, you. 1502 01:22:16,920 --> 01:22:26,040 Did and I I just disagree I'm. I'm it's it's. 1503 01:22:26,600 --> 01:22:29,760 Fine, I get it. Because I think like the humans 1504 01:22:29,760 --> 01:22:31,960 are well designed. Like I think Okrun and Momo and 1505 01:22:31,960 --> 01:22:34,440 everyone is like well designed when they're just like people. 1506 01:22:34,520 --> 01:22:39,160 Yeah. But I I do not like the the 1507 01:22:39,160 --> 01:22:43,600 things that all look like Stain from My Hero Academia. 1508 01:22:43,600 --> 01:22:47,120 Yeah, I just, it makes me uncomfy and not even in a way 1509 01:22:47,120 --> 01:22:49,120 where I'm like, well, that's what it's supposed to be doing. 1510 01:22:49,120 --> 01:22:50,680 Like I'm sure it is. But I I don't care. 1511 01:22:50,680 --> 01:22:54,600 I just like it. I can over the delicious and 1512 01:22:54,760 --> 01:22:57,840 even like not even just like the main cast, but like we saw so 1513 01:22:57,840 --> 01:23:01,360 much included with like the side characters, the monsters that 1514 01:23:01,360 --> 01:23:04,760 they're battling. I just think it's so much more 1515 01:23:04,760 --> 01:23:08,320 than Don Don, but the I more people probably want. 1516 01:23:08,600 --> 01:23:10,640 I think Donna Don character designs are cool. 1517 01:23:10,760 --> 01:23:13,000 I wouldn't say they're good. I think they're cool. 1518 01:23:13,480 --> 01:23:17,680 I'm fine with it being on this list, I just think it's a if 1519 01:23:17,680 --> 01:23:21,320 we're doing a tier list, I think this is AC compared to Delicious 1520 01:23:21,320 --> 01:23:25,680 and Dungeon which would be an S. Yeah, I mean, you know, I, you 1521 01:23:25,680 --> 01:23:28,200 know, I picked the only show that wasn't a fantasy show. 1522 01:23:28,200 --> 01:23:31,160 So OK, if that tells you what you need to know about me, that 1523 01:23:31,160 --> 01:23:33,440 is. But I the episode where they do 1524 01:23:33,440 --> 01:23:36,440 the character swaps in Delicious Dungeon is I think a great 1525 01:23:36,440 --> 01:23:38,800 highlight of how well they understand the design of their 1526 01:23:38,800 --> 01:23:42,280 characters because they're able to switch the characters like 1527 01:23:42,280 --> 01:23:47,000 who they are and make them look like both characters at the same 1528 01:23:47,000 --> 01:23:50,000 time in a very cool way. So something to highlight. 1529 01:23:50,000 --> 01:23:52,200 There there's a lot of cool character elements within 1530 01:23:52,680 --> 01:23:55,120 Delicious and Dungeon that I I love. 1531 01:23:56,640 --> 01:23:59,960 OK, best. Animation, I must stop you right 1532 01:23:59,960 --> 01:24:03,280 here. If anything other than Friedrin 1533 01:24:03,280 --> 01:24:08,560 wins, it is wrong it Friedrin should win by a massive 1534 01:24:08,560 --> 01:24:09,440 landslide. Go ahead. 1535 01:24:10,800 --> 01:24:16,000 I didn't vote for free Ren, we have Dan to Dan, delicious and 1536 01:24:16,000 --> 01:24:19,600 dungeon demon Slayer. Let me know if you've heard 1537 01:24:19,600 --> 01:24:24,240 these before. Kaiju #8 and solo level. 1538 01:24:24,560 --> 01:24:26,600 Yeah, it's free, Ren. It's not even close. 1539 01:24:26,720 --> 01:24:28,840 Nothing even comes remotely close. 1540 01:24:28,840 --> 01:24:30,760 To. Free Ren in this in this I. 1541 01:24:31,960 --> 01:24:37,480 Voted for solo leveling. If it wins, I'm OK with it I do 1542 01:24:37,480 --> 01:24:38,680 think. I do think soul leveling 1543 01:24:38,680 --> 01:24:42,600 animation is good and I think compared to other shows on this 1544 01:24:42,600 --> 01:24:45,120 list, it is better than a lot of these other shows. 1545 01:24:45,400 --> 01:24:46,720 Free run blows it out of the water. 1546 01:24:46,720 --> 01:24:51,600 Like you look at scenes in free run with like the the the stern. 1547 01:24:51,760 --> 01:24:55,520 I just combined them Stark and Fern dancing. 1548 01:24:55,960 --> 01:24:58,920 We have like the scenes with like Stark putting on his 1549 01:24:58,920 --> 01:25:02,000 jacket, Fern adjusting her dress to sit down. 1550 01:25:02,160 --> 01:25:07,120 It's like little scenes like that that stand out more to me 1551 01:25:07,160 --> 01:25:10,600 than say like a big fight scene because a lot of people can do a 1552 01:25:10,600 --> 01:25:14,680 really good fight scene. Friedrin does the fight scenes 1553 01:25:14,920 --> 01:25:18,400 not only like incredibly well, but the other scenes. 1554 01:25:18,800 --> 01:25:21,720 And that's what sets it apart. Like the dragon scene, 1555 01:25:21,760 --> 01:25:24,400 incredible in terms of animation, the the leaning 1556 01:25:24,400 --> 01:25:29,000 Lungar versus Fern Sark scene, crazy major mage exam arc when 1557 01:25:29,000 --> 01:25:31,920 we had like Friedrin versus clone Friedrin, mind blowing. 1558 01:25:31,920 --> 01:25:36,360 Like those moments. There's nothing that those other 1559 01:25:36,360 --> 01:25:40,320 five shows do in terms of animation that even comes close 1560 01:25:40,320 --> 01:25:44,560 to what Friedrin did. I think that what really sold it 1561 01:25:44,560 --> 01:25:49,000 for me on solo levelling is you can see Jenna become horny when. 1562 01:25:49,360 --> 01:25:52,640 You motherfucker. Like and it's just so well 1563 01:25:52,640 --> 01:25:55,560 animated on her face and then you see the shock when she 1564 01:25:55,560 --> 01:25:57,720 realizes it's her brother. Then it. 1565 01:25:57,720 --> 01:26:02,600 Drops that which is not animated related but props to the show. 1566 01:26:03,480 --> 01:26:05,480 They did the bit and then they dropped it. 1567 01:26:05,880 --> 01:26:07,080 What do you think is going to win? 1568 01:26:07,080 --> 01:26:08,080 Do you think it's going to be free? 1569 01:26:08,080 --> 01:26:11,840 I think it's going to be so leveling, but this is man. 1570 01:26:13,880 --> 01:26:17,800 So if Demon Slayer wins, that's that's a massive L, like huge L. 1571 01:26:17,800 --> 01:26:20,720 If Demon Slayer wins, if Kaiju #8 wins, that's a huge L. 1572 01:26:21,600 --> 01:26:24,640 Delicious and dungeons good. I I'd be OK with that. 1573 01:26:24,920 --> 01:26:28,440 Donadon's good. I, I, I don't think I'd be OK 1574 01:26:28,440 --> 01:26:31,480 with that one. I'd be OK with delicious. 1575 01:26:32,240 --> 01:26:34,560 There's some and solo, really. Good animation. 1576 01:26:34,560 --> 01:26:35,880 Yeah, it's just. But like that I. 1577 01:26:36,120 --> 01:26:38,360 We're catching the entire series. 1578 01:26:38,360 --> 01:26:41,480 Like there's so many shows that have like great moments of 1579 01:26:41,480 --> 01:26:44,600 Sokuga. Like there there are slice of 1580 01:26:44,600 --> 01:26:47,040 life shows that have some of the best Sokuga I've ever seen. 1581 01:26:47,040 --> 01:26:50,720 But consistently through the entire show, nothing comes even 1582 01:26:50,720 --> 01:26:52,880 close to free run. Nothing. 1583 01:26:56,000 --> 01:26:59,040 I am ready to reveal the winner to run it. 1584 01:27:00,200 --> 01:27:02,200 It's demon Slayer that's. Terrible. 1585 01:27:02,200 --> 01:27:08,440 That is on par with OK, this is number 2 for biggest L so far. 1586 01:27:08,440 --> 01:27:10,520 This is number 2. OK, Blue box is still the 1587 01:27:10,520 --> 01:27:12,720 biggest L. Because at least the one fight 1588 01:27:12,800 --> 01:27:15,360 and demon Slayer, this thing probably went hard because you 1589 01:27:15,360 --> 01:27:16,960 photopulted it. I'm sorry. 1590 01:27:17,080 --> 01:27:22,360 It's demon Slayer uses so many flashing layers where people 1591 01:27:22,360 --> 01:27:25,240 think it's incredible animation. When you realize it's just 1592 01:27:25,240 --> 01:27:29,360 Photoshop layering flashing light, it's like it is good. 1593 01:27:29,560 --> 01:27:33,640 You foldable is an S tier studio when it comes to this stuff, but 1594 01:27:33,640 --> 01:27:37,000 it's it's not what free Rin did this year. 1595 01:27:37,000 --> 01:27:39,040 It's not I'm sorry, it's just not. 1596 01:27:40,160 --> 01:27:44,320 Well, I I can't disagree.

Best original anime? 1608 01:28:11,560 --> 01:28:14,960 OK, try you want to list them. OK, I'm. 1609 01:28:15,560 --> 01:28:18,000 Going to list them. OK, but I do have something to 1610 01:28:18,000 --> 01:28:20,760 ask you about. We have Buchi Giri, We have 1611 01:28:20,760 --> 01:28:24,640 girls band cry which we both voted for as it should win and 1612 01:28:24,640 --> 01:28:27,600 it is in fact the odds on betting favorite. 1613 01:28:27,720 --> 01:28:30,120 We have Jellyfish Can't Swim in the Night. 1614 01:28:30,240 --> 01:28:32,960 I thought you liked more than girls band cry. 1615 01:28:33,200 --> 01:28:36,520 So this is one of the things where I think Girls Band Cry is 1616 01:28:36,520 --> 01:28:40,000 a better show, but I like Jellyfish better more. 1617 01:28:40,000 --> 01:28:41,240 OK. You just resonated with 1618 01:28:41,240 --> 01:28:45,080 jellyfish like a bit more, but you agree with like different, 1619 01:28:45,080 --> 01:28:46,640 OK. Yes, Girls Band Cry is a 1620 01:28:47,200 --> 01:28:50,560 structurally better show. OK, they have the map of Please 1621 01:28:50,560 --> 01:28:52,400 don't Hate us. Metallic Rouge is up here. 1622 01:28:52,400 --> 01:28:56,360 See come on please. We have Ninja Kamui. 1623 01:28:56,400 --> 01:29:02,120 And then I I forgot to change the name so I have written solo 1624 01:29:02,120 --> 01:29:05,000 leveling, but it is actually trained to the end of all. 1625 01:29:05,280 --> 01:29:07,040 Sure it might. As well be solo leveling. 1626 01:29:07,960 --> 01:29:12,480 Yeah, and the winner is we. I mean, we have a whole episode 1627 01:29:12,480 --> 01:29:14,320 on Girls Band Cry if you want to go listen to that. 1628 01:29:14,320 --> 01:29:16,600 We both really liked it. Spoiler alert, we do. 1629 01:29:17,400 --> 01:29:18,400 What are your thoughts here, Pete? 1630 01:29:19,120 --> 01:29:24,760 Missing Bravern was a massive L, including something like Ninja 1631 01:29:24,760 --> 01:29:31,720 Comboy and Metallic Rouge which were critically pan, critically 1632 01:29:31,720 --> 01:29:34,800 pan. Like nobody likes these shows 1633 01:29:34,800 --> 01:29:37,320 and they got included. And something like Bravern, 1634 01:29:37,360 --> 01:29:41,000 which was a huge sleeper hit and a cult classic and everything 1635 01:29:41,000 --> 01:29:43,560 like that should absolutely be included as one of the best 1636 01:29:43,560 --> 01:29:46,160 originals of last year. Girls man cry. 1637 01:29:46,360 --> 01:29:48,680 I mean should mop the floor. Like it should win. 1638 01:29:49,440 --> 01:29:51,760 What what were the other? What would be a nomination that 1639 01:29:51,760 --> 01:29:54,240 was girl trending out of the world was fun, but like it was 1640 01:29:54,240 --> 01:29:56,000 not even close to being popular enough. 1641 01:29:56,400 --> 01:29:59,200 Like it did not have the same traction as girls man cry. 1642 01:29:59,960 --> 01:30:04,440 And I think Uchigiri I also think was critically pan. 1643 01:30:05,360 --> 01:30:06,120 OK. Yes. 1644 01:30:06,600 --> 01:30:10,240 So there's three shows in here that should not be in here. 1645 01:30:10,320 --> 01:30:12,480 I mean, I guess I have to like run through, but like I think 1646 01:30:12,480 --> 01:30:15,920 Mecca Ude came out last year that was probably should have 1647 01:30:15,920 --> 01:30:17,560 been included. Bravern should have been 1648 01:30:17,560 --> 01:30:19,600 included. I'm trying to think if there's 1649 01:30:19,600 --> 01:30:20,960 any other. I'm sure there's an original out 1650 01:30:20,960 --> 01:30:22,480 there that should have been included over this. 1651 01:30:22,480 --> 01:30:25,000 But like, it doesn't matter because Girls band Cry should 1652 01:30:25,000 --> 01:30:27,640 win and will win. My pick is girls man cry. 1653 01:30:29,520 --> 01:30:34,440 No, Pete, when we first started this, I said there was a 1654 01:30:34,440 --> 01:30:39,680 category where I was like, what the absolute fuck? 1655 01:30:39,680 --> 01:30:43,560 Yeah, this is the category. Oh, OK. 1656 01:30:44,400 --> 01:30:48,280 The winner of this is Ninja com. What the fuck? 1657 01:30:49,000 --> 01:30:52,040 Yep. That show dropped two full 1658 01:30:52,040 --> 01:30:56,240 points on Mal after episode 4. Do you know how hard that is to 1659 01:30:56,240 --> 01:30:59,800 do 2 points that point that point to two points? 1660 01:31:00,080 --> 01:31:05,440 I get it. I I know this is a Phase I I 1661 01:31:05,440 --> 01:31:08,080 don't know how this happened. I saw like a thing that was 1662 01:31:08,080 --> 01:31:10,760 basically talking about because I think it's aired on Netflix. 1663 01:31:10,920 --> 01:31:13,880 This was a Adult Swim. Oh, OK. 1664 01:31:14,120 --> 01:31:18,040 So it was basically talking about how because it had this 1665 01:31:18,040 --> 01:31:22,440 large viewership base and fan voting is such a large part of 1666 01:31:22,440 --> 01:31:26,280 this that if there's any sort of dissension within the expert 1667 01:31:26,280 --> 01:31:30,600 panel, it just ends up being a popularity contest the way that 1668 01:31:30,600 --> 01:31:34,120 it's structured, I guess. And so they were just basically 1669 01:31:34,120 --> 01:31:36,320 explaining like there was actually never a chance 1670 01:31:36,320 --> 01:31:39,400 Girlfriend Cry could win because not enough people have watched 1671 01:31:39,440 --> 01:31:41,840 it. Yeah, this is one of those ones 1672 01:31:41,840 --> 01:31:46,600 that like you need to have no fan votes like I'm sorry, like 1673 01:31:46,800 --> 01:31:50,240 or have your fan vote be significantly reduced and I 1674 01:31:50,280 --> 01:31:52,360 just. Don't think there should be fan 1675 01:31:52,520 --> 01:31:54,320 anyways. I like Jake. 1676 01:31:54,360 --> 01:31:57,240 Guess what you should do like how we structure it and have 1677 01:31:57,240 --> 01:31:59,040 both. You should have a community we. 1678 01:31:59,040 --> 01:32:00,440 Could do that too. Yeah, yeah. 1679 01:32:00,440 --> 01:32:02,560 And that would be fun. And then like industry people. 1680 01:32:02,560 --> 01:32:05,600 Industry, yes. Hell, even Reddit gets it right. 1681 01:32:05,600 --> 01:32:08,760 Reddit gets it right because it should be two different things. 1682 01:32:08,800 --> 01:32:12,040 You should, you should capture what the people of your 1683 01:32:12,040 --> 01:32:16,320 community are voting for. But then you should also have, 1684 01:32:16,680 --> 01:32:19,680 you know, whatever. I guess for us it's me, but like 1685 01:32:19,920 --> 01:32:27,040 you should have like a a staple for your whatever your content 1686 01:32:27,040 --> 01:32:30,440 is, because people are people are coming here for us. 1687 01:32:30,440 --> 01:32:32,760 They don't want to be like, well, the population vote was 1688 01:32:32,760 --> 01:32:34,240 39%. They want to hear what we're 1689 01:32:34,240 --> 01:32:36,240 talking about. So you need to have that with 1690 01:32:36,240 --> 01:32:40,240 your with your community. This is a bigger L than blue box 1691 01:32:40,280 --> 01:32:43,080 like not at. Least blue blue box eventually 1692 01:32:43,080 --> 01:32:46,000 becomes a room. It does eventually, yeah. 1693 01:32:46,600 --> 01:32:50,600 Ninja Combi, first of all, should not even be on the the 1694 01:32:50,600 --> 01:32:54,080 nominations, let alone even be in consideration to win and then 1695 01:32:54,080 --> 01:32:56,840 actually win it. So this is the biggest L of the 1696 01:32:57,880 --> 01:33:00,600 the entire award so far. This was my biggest sell. 1697 01:33:01,120 --> 01:33:06,320 This was like, it's like the only things I have heard about 1698 01:33:06,320 --> 01:33:08,960 Ninja Ka MUI was that this show sucks. 1699 01:33:08,960 --> 01:33:12,160 Yeah I get why metallic Rouge is on there even though it's bad 1700 01:33:12,200 --> 01:33:13,880 because you have to play nice with Papa. 1701 01:33:13,960 --> 01:33:14,520 I get it. Yep. 1702 01:33:14,880 --> 01:33:16,680 But like our bones or whoever did it. 1703 01:33:16,840 --> 01:33:18,080 Bones did. It was metallic Rouge. 1704 01:33:18,960 --> 01:33:22,520 Yeah, that's whatever the the studio that hit the bet on that. 1705 01:33:23,080 --> 01:33:25,240 You know, I I didn't need girls band cry to win. 1706 01:33:25,240 --> 01:33:26,840 I think it's the best of this options. 1707 01:33:26,840 --> 01:33:29,440 But like if it wasn't just something that I only knew for 1708 01:33:29,440 --> 01:33:31,720 being bad, it would have stung less. 1709 01:33:31,800 --> 01:33:35,000 Yeah 100%. Just for reference, Ninja com we 1710 01:33:35,000 --> 01:33:41,880 on Mao 6.62 girls band Cry 8.38 so yeah. 6.62 is legitimately 1711 01:33:41,880 --> 01:33:48,040 hard to do. 1.75 points better. Like that is that is very bad. 1712 01:33:48,040 --> 01:33:53,760 That's very bad, yes. That is like being in the sixes 1713 01:33:53,760 --> 01:33:55,680 is hard. It just sort of means no one 1714 01:33:55,680 --> 01:33:58,960 really liked your show. Best new anime. 1715 01:33:58,960 --> 01:34:03,720 OK, this is going to be weird for us because a lot of these 1716 01:34:03,800 --> 01:34:06,040 like because of the timing on this, it's like a lot of these 1717 01:34:06,040 --> 01:34:07,840 shows if I had like 48 episodes or whatever. 1718 01:34:07,840 --> 01:34:14,160 Now Dan to Dan delicious and dungeon free run paiju #8 solo 1719 01:34:14,160 --> 01:34:16,800 leveling in the apothecary Diaries. 1720 01:34:16,800 --> 01:34:20,680 So we're seeing, you know, these shows reappear a lot, which 1721 01:34:20,680 --> 01:34:22,600 makes sense. You picked free rid. 1722 01:34:22,600 --> 01:34:26,000 I picked the apothecary Diaries. We've we've had this out a few 1723 01:34:26,000 --> 01:34:27,520 different times. What are your thoughts here, 1724 01:34:27,520 --> 01:34:28,960 Pete? Yeah, this is 1 where it's like, 1725 01:34:28,960 --> 01:34:31,600 OK, shows are going to be getting multiple seasons going 1726 01:34:31,600 --> 01:34:34,800 forward. Out of the six, which ones are 1727 01:34:35,040 --> 01:34:37,440 either your favorite or best or popular? 1728 01:34:37,960 --> 01:34:40,480 I'd I don't know if I have like an issue with any of these 1729 01:34:40,480 --> 01:34:42,520 winning because it's sort of just like a. 1730 01:34:43,880 --> 01:34:49,240 Page #8. I I wouldn't pick it to win, but 1731 01:34:49,240 --> 01:34:52,200 like if someone picked Kaiju #8 to win, like I this is a 1732 01:34:52,200 --> 01:34:56,080 whatever category. Like it doesn't say anything 1733 01:34:56,080 --> 01:34:58,840 about the show. Like it doesn't say that it is 1734 01:34:59,600 --> 01:35:02,320 beautifully animated or has good fights or has good dialogue. 1735 01:35:02,320 --> 01:35:04,120 It just says it's just the best news it. 1736 01:35:04,120 --> 01:35:06,280 Just means it's at least OK and it's a new. 1737 01:35:06,280 --> 01:35:09,720 Series it's at least it's OK and it's probably getting multiple 1738 01:35:09,720 --> 01:35:11,080 seasons. I picked free Ren. 1739 01:35:11,080 --> 01:35:14,520 I just think in terms of like the juggernaut of that, what 1740 01:35:14,520 --> 01:35:17,200 that franchise is, I think it's there. 1741 01:35:17,200 --> 01:35:20,600 However, you know Soul Levelling is getting pushed out the ass 1742 01:35:20,600 --> 01:35:22,160 with Crunchyroll, that being awards. 1743 01:35:22,400 --> 01:35:24,800 I picked free Ren. Soul Levelling is going to win. 1744 01:35:25,960 --> 01:35:28,320 But you got to repeat the the what? 1745 01:35:28,680 --> 01:35:30,800 The what? The jugger, The jugger what The 1746 01:35:30,800 --> 01:35:33,000 juggernaut. You said nut. 1747 01:35:33,040 --> 01:35:35,480 You said the jugger nut. I'm the juggernaut. 1748 01:35:36,080 --> 01:35:39,760 Which is really funny anyways. Oh, sorry, I missed a vowel. 1749 01:35:39,760 --> 01:35:41,640 Whatever. Well, no, just because you said 1750 01:35:41,640 --> 01:35:43,240 the word nut dude. That's why I'm laughing, 1751 01:35:43,440 --> 01:35:44,800 because. I'd be a mature. 1752 01:35:45,440 --> 01:35:46,600 One, I wasn't trying to. Yeah. 1753 01:35:46,600 --> 01:35:50,280 Well, you should like the humor. It is funny, but you're but 1754 01:35:50,280 --> 01:35:52,400 you're making fun of me so I don't like it. 1755 01:35:52,920 --> 01:35:54,640 OK, fair. Enough. 1756 01:35:56,440 --> 01:36:00,960 OK, the winner of this is solo level, Sure. 1757 01:36:01,680 --> 01:36:05,440 So good call on that. I mean, it would not be my first 1758 01:36:05,440 --> 01:36:08,200 choice, but it's probably my third favorite out of what we 1759 01:36:08,200 --> 01:36:10,760 had listed. So yeah, it'd be 3 or 4. 1760 01:36:10,760 --> 01:36:11,200 I'll take it. Yeah. 1761 01:36:11,480 --> 01:36:12,480 It's fine. Yeah, whatever. 1762 01:36:13,280 --> 01:36:19,160 OK, best continuing anime. There's a lot of categories, by 1763 01:36:19,160 --> 01:36:21,200 the way. We got 3 left right. 1764 01:36:22,200 --> 01:36:24,040 Something like that. I just remember when I started 1765 01:36:24,040 --> 01:36:27,960 making this and I finished like all the music things, I was 1766 01:36:27,960 --> 01:36:29,120 like, that's got to be most of them. 1767 01:36:29,120 --> 01:36:30,800 And there was like 20 left. Yeah, there's. 1768 01:36:30,840 --> 01:36:38,000 Like there's 24 categories. OK we got Bleach, Thousand year 1769 01:36:38,040 --> 01:36:41,000 Blood war. We got Demon Slayer, the 1770 01:36:41,040 --> 01:36:45,280 training arc. We have My Hero academia, One 1771 01:36:45,280 --> 01:36:48,200 Piece, Oshi no Co and Spy Family. 1772 01:36:48,200 --> 01:36:53,040 We both voted for Oshi no Co. It's not winning, I'll tell you 1773 01:36:53,040 --> 01:36:55,880 that much. I think this is the the One 1774 01:36:55,880 --> 01:36:58,960 Piece wins it because it's like the only thing it was really 1775 01:36:58,960 --> 01:37:02,320 nominated for the the the OP got nominated earlier than the fan 1776 01:37:02,320 --> 01:37:05,000 letter got nominated. But like, this is like the only 1777 01:37:05,360 --> 01:37:11,240 like One Piece show nomination and I think it won it last year. 1778 01:37:11,800 --> 01:37:14,440 So this is like the One Piece. Thank you for existing and 1779 01:37:14,440 --> 01:37:17,000 making so many people Anime fans award. 1780 01:37:17,000 --> 01:37:19,000 Yeah, it's like it's been running forever. 1781 01:37:19,080 --> 01:37:22,720 It makes sense. Like I guess if if any category 1782 01:37:22,720 --> 01:37:26,280 to win, for One Piece to win continuing series makes the most 1783 01:37:26,280 --> 01:37:29,400 sense to me. So though I do think Oceano Co 1784 01:37:29,400 --> 01:37:32,400 is the best pick, I'm going to pick One Piece that wins it. 1785 01:37:33,520 --> 01:37:37,000 What if I were to tell you that it wasn't one piece? 1786 01:37:37,760 --> 01:37:40,640 Bleach maybe? Demon Slayer. 1787 01:37:40,640 --> 01:37:43,280 Why? Why I don't I don't do these 1788 01:37:43,280 --> 01:37:44,880 people. They like demon Slayer. 1789 01:37:44,920 --> 01:37:48,960 Yo, like, come, I, I know it's I know we're I'm running a little 1790 01:37:48,960 --> 01:37:51,160 bit on fumes right now. We've been going for like an 1791 01:37:51,240 --> 01:37:54,200 hour, almost two hours. Look, I don't want to say 1792 01:37:54,200 --> 01:37:56,800 anything bad about people who are voting demon Slayer in this, 1793 01:37:56,800 --> 01:37:59,200 but you are legitimately incorrect. 1794 01:37:59,240 --> 01:38:02,120 Like straight up, I'm sorry. And it's been my understanding, 1795 01:38:02,120 --> 01:38:05,720 though, is that this arc, it did, the fans are like whatever 1796 01:38:05,720 --> 01:38:07,640 on it. Like people who are big Demon 1797 01:38:07,640 --> 01:38:09,280 Slayer fans are just sort of like. 1798 01:38:10,280 --> 01:38:13,760 I'm pretty sure it's the lowest rated demon Slayer arc so far. 1799 01:38:14,160 --> 01:38:17,480 It's I, I, I know like the contents of it. 1800 01:38:17,480 --> 01:38:20,040 I, I read the manga. So like, I know what this arc 1801 01:38:20,040 --> 01:38:21,880 covers. So it's just like, it's just, 1802 01:38:21,880 --> 01:38:25,480 it's a setup arc like like yes, things happen in it, but it's, 1803 01:38:26,240 --> 01:38:29,880 it's not Tokyo blade. Like it's not like, I'm sorry, 1804 01:38:30,160 --> 01:38:32,040 whatever happened in one piece, I don't know what happened in 1805 01:38:32,040 --> 01:38:33,600 one piece. I guarantee you it's more 1806 01:38:33,600 --> 01:38:37,720 impactful than whatever happened in freaking Demon Slayer. 1807 01:38:37,720 --> 01:38:41,920 Like I guarantee it. This is this is a bad. 1808 01:38:42,080 --> 01:38:44,880 I would say this is. Is this an L? 1809 01:38:47,200 --> 01:38:49,560 You could say it's an Li. Think that's a lower with the 1810 01:38:49,560 --> 01:38:53,960 understanding. Yeah, like from people I have 1811 01:38:53,960 --> 01:38:57,520 talked to who love Demon Slayer, they're like this arc is 1812 01:38:57,520 --> 01:38:59,320 whatever. Like it's not bad, we still like 1813 01:38:59,320 --> 01:39:02,760 it, but like, it's not what you're looking forward to or 1814 01:39:02,760 --> 01:39:05,400 whatever. But I don't know, maybe maybe 1815 01:39:05,440 --> 01:39:07,120 it's it is good. And also it's just a very 1816 01:39:07,120 --> 01:39:09,520 popular show, which probably. There's multiple people in our 1817 01:39:09,520 --> 01:39:12,400 discord that like when it was Aaron, it's like even Slayer 1818 01:39:12,400 --> 01:39:14,720 cool, cool episode. And that was it. 1819 01:39:14,720 --> 01:39:16,360 Like that was the end of the conversation. 1820 01:39:16,360 --> 01:39:19,360 It's just like, and when I read it, I was just like, all right, 1821 01:39:19,360 --> 01:39:21,680 we're just literally setting up for the Infinity Castle. 1822 01:39:21,680 --> 01:39:23,520 Like that's what this arc is for. 1823 01:39:23,520 --> 01:39:25,800 It is to set up the grand finale. 1824 01:39:26,400 --> 01:39:29,240 So like if Infinity Castle or whatever it's called wins, I get 1825 01:39:29,240 --> 01:39:32,200 it, but this? No, no, this is this is a 1826 01:39:32,200 --> 01:39:36,920 lowercase L. Film of the year? 1827 01:39:37,120 --> 01:39:38,680 Oh, you don't get to see my little joke here. 1828 01:39:40,320 --> 01:39:45,200 We have High Q, the dumpster and I wrote anime instead of battle. 1829 01:39:45,720 --> 01:39:49,240 Miles, you're so fucking funny. Bro, I know. 1830 01:39:49,440 --> 01:39:52,000 Thank you. We have look back which you 1831 01:39:52,000 --> 01:39:54,240 voted for. It is the favorite on the 1832 01:39:54,240 --> 01:39:57,080 betting markets. We have Mononoke the Phantom in 1833 01:39:57,080 --> 01:39:59,240 the Rain, which I voted for. Loved it. 1834 01:39:59,440 --> 01:40:01,200 Which is not the betting favorite. 1835 01:40:02,080 --> 01:40:03,880 I. Think anybody else have watched 1836 01:40:03,880 --> 01:40:07,600 that movie? We have My Hero Academia. 1837 01:40:07,640 --> 01:40:10,440 You're next, which sort of sounds like a threat. 1838 01:40:11,640 --> 01:40:12,360 Guess what? Bitch. 1839 01:40:13,560 --> 01:40:16,840 We have spy family code white and the colors within. 1840 01:40:18,280 --> 01:40:24,200 I have seen five of the six of these movies and kind of like a 1841 01:40:24,480 --> 01:40:28,760 whatever year for movies I would say in terms of how many we got, 1842 01:40:28,760 --> 01:40:33,200 not in terms of quality because like you Look Back and Monoke, I 1843 01:40:33,200 --> 01:40:36,600 gave 10's and Colors with it and Code White I gave 9. 1844 01:40:36,600 --> 01:40:39,520 So like I really enjoyed the movies that we got. 1845 01:40:39,840 --> 01:40:43,560 I picked Look Back, I think it should win and will win. 1846 01:40:43,560 --> 01:40:47,360 I think Look Back was fantastic. It definitely deserves film of 1847 01:40:47,360 --> 01:40:49,320 the year. But I'd be OK with, you know, 1848 01:40:49,360 --> 01:40:51,840 Monoke has no chance, but I'd be OK with it winning. 1849 01:40:52,120 --> 01:40:54,520 And Haikyu I would say has an outside chance. 1850 01:40:54,520 --> 01:40:57,080 And I loved the movie. So so. 1851 01:40:58,360 --> 01:41:03,040 OK I I just want to take this this moment to air my grievances 1852 01:41:03,040 --> 01:41:04,920 on Haiku. I enjoyed this movie. 1853 01:41:04,920 --> 01:41:07,560 I think I gave it an 8. You watched the Doctor battle? 1854 01:41:08,640 --> 01:41:09,520 Yes. Oh, I had no. 1855 01:41:09,840 --> 01:41:14,160 Idea I've watched all of haiku that is available so far per my 1856 01:41:14,160 --> 01:41:16,520 legally bonding contract with Galaxy. 1857 01:41:17,960 --> 01:41:22,120 You're a legend. Yeah, well, anyways, so I 1858 01:41:22,120 --> 01:41:26,760 thought these two fighting Hinata and blonde Hinata was 1859 01:41:26,760 --> 01:41:31,240 sort of like end game. Because Nekama, that's who they 1860 01:41:31,240 --> 01:41:36,160 are, right? They've been counted as the big 1861 01:41:36,160 --> 01:41:38,840 bad this entire series. They have that. 1862 01:41:39,560 --> 01:41:41,640 They have I've I've watched it in the last. 1863 01:41:41,640 --> 01:41:42,400 Year. No way. 1864 01:41:42,760 --> 01:41:43,920 They are not. They are. 1865 01:41:44,120 --> 01:41:45,880 There's no way they're considered like the top. 1866 01:41:47,280 --> 01:41:50,000 And then we just learn about some school we've never heard of 1867 01:41:50,000 --> 01:41:53,480 and they're secretly the best once this arc starts and and 1868 01:41:53,480 --> 01:41:56,800 they have black haired Hinata who's even shorter or is he have 1869 01:41:56,800 --> 01:41:59,880 white hair? I can't remember other Hinata. 1870 01:42:00,640 --> 01:42:03,480 Well, yeah, you should. He's gonna be the antagonist of 1871 01:42:03,480 --> 01:42:06,520 the climax of the series. I should rewatch the movie. 1872 01:42:08,280 --> 01:42:11,960 He's like, also very short. You don't hear my thoughts since 1873 01:42:11,960 --> 01:42:14,200 I don't remember. We did a movie review of the The 1874 01:42:14,240 --> 01:42:16,080 Haiku movie. OK I I will do that then. 1875 01:42:16,080 --> 01:42:20,400 Anyways, I I was just sad that Haiku has done this to me a few 1876 01:42:20,400 --> 01:42:26,080 times where they fight people we know and then like another 1877 01:42:26,080 --> 01:42:29,200 school shows up and I've never heard of them and they don't 1878 01:42:29,200 --> 01:42:32,760 matter. Like when they beat those people 1879 01:42:32,760 --> 01:42:37,040 to go fight Shirakawa. Like I thought that guy was 1880 01:42:37,040 --> 01:42:39,360 going to be like the main thing to get into nationals. 1881 01:42:39,360 --> 01:42:42,960 But then they just, they just they're like, oh, here's the guy 1882 01:42:42,960 --> 01:42:46,000 who's actually even better that we've not talked about until 1883 01:42:46,000 --> 01:42:47,600 now. And I was like, that's, that's 1884 01:42:47,600 --> 01:42:49,240 kind of lame. ANYWAYS, it was a good 1885 01:42:49,560 --> 01:42:51,080 volleyball match. I thought it was fun. 1886 01:42:51,080 --> 01:42:52,560 I thought the characterization was good. 1887 01:42:52,960 --> 01:42:55,800 But Haiku, you know, keeps on rug pulling me on who the 1888 01:42:55,800 --> 01:42:58,600 actual, like, best volleyball team is, and it annoys me. 1889 01:42:59,320 --> 01:43:00,160 That being said, it's a good movie. 1890 01:43:00,600 --> 01:43:07,480 And that being said, the winner is look back, which I think is, 1891 01:43:07,520 --> 01:43:11,160 yeah, not surprising. OK, anime of the year. 1892 01:43:12,280 --> 01:43:15,160 OK, we're finally here. Now I want to see if you can 1893 01:43:15,160 --> 01:43:18,280 guess the nominees for this. Well they already been out so 1894 01:43:18,280 --> 01:43:22,040 it's what? Free Ren Apothecary Kaiju solo 1895 01:43:22,640 --> 01:43:25,920 dungeon? Meshy Dandenan. 1896 01:43:26,480 --> 01:43:32,240 That's exactly it. These are, you might notice, the 1897 01:43:32,240 --> 01:43:36,040 exact same nominees from Best New Anime. 1898 01:43:37,160 --> 01:43:39,520 What won best new anime? Solo leveling. 1899 01:43:39,520 --> 01:43:42,680 OK solo leveling don't win anime of the year then, that's my 1900 01:43:42,800 --> 01:43:45,760 thing. Not a bad guess going off of 1901 01:43:45,760 --> 01:43:47,960 precedent. I voted apothecary Diaries, you 1902 01:43:47,960 --> 01:43:50,400 voted free. Written The betting favorite was 1903 01:43:50,600 --> 01:43:51,480 free. Ren, yeah. 1904 01:43:51,480 --> 01:43:54,280 And Free Ren should win the same thing. 1905 01:43:54,280 --> 01:44:00,200 When I go back to my best animation discussion, I think 1906 01:44:01,440 --> 01:44:03,760 Free Ren is a generational anime. 1907 01:44:03,920 --> 01:44:07,280 I think it's something that will be talked about for decades. 1908 01:44:07,600 --> 01:44:12,240 For what the show did, I think it's just above everything else 1909 01:44:12,240 --> 01:44:14,240 that came out last year. Even though there are stories 1910 01:44:14,240 --> 01:44:17,280 that I love that came out next year, I don't think anything 1911 01:44:17,280 --> 01:44:19,080 even comes close to touching Free Ren. 1912 01:44:20,480 --> 01:44:24,440 Yeah, I think Apothecary Diaries is better than Free Ren. 1913 01:44:26,360 --> 01:44:28,680 I get it. I don't really have it. 1914 01:44:28,760 --> 01:44:31,960 Look, I'm happy it's here. I'm happy it got nominated for 1915 01:44:31,960 --> 01:44:37,520 anime of the year because honestly, we have 5 shows that 1916 01:44:37,680 --> 01:44:41,560 predominantly feature action and all of that. 1917 01:44:41,560 --> 01:44:43,400 And then we have like an historical piece. 1918 01:44:43,960 --> 01:44:49,960 So I'm just excited to to be at the party that is, you know, my 1919 01:44:49,960 --> 01:44:52,560 thoughts on it, even though I would love it if it won and I 1920 01:44:52,560 --> 01:44:55,960 and I think it should. I really do love free run. 1921 01:44:55,960 --> 01:44:57,560 Free run would be my second place vote. 1922 01:44:57,560 --> 01:45:00,720 And then I would go solo leveling and probably dungeon 1923 01:45:00,720 --> 01:45:03,320 Meshy and then Dan to Dan. And then I would probably say 1924 01:45:03,320 --> 01:45:05,080 some anime. That looks so leveling more than 1925 01:45:05,080 --> 01:45:07,120 dungeon meshy. I do. 1926 01:45:07,480 --> 01:45:09,600 That's honestly super surprising. 1927 01:45:10,160 --> 01:45:13,040 It is super surprising, but it's also not surprising. 1928 01:45:13,040 --> 01:45:16,280 The reason it's not surprising is because I have said dungeon 1929 01:45:16,280 --> 01:45:17,840 meshy would be better if they didn't cook. 1930 01:45:17,840 --> 01:45:19,960 In it, that's true. You did say that you you hate 1931 01:45:19,960 --> 01:45:22,120 the one of the main focal points of that story. 1932 01:45:24,880 --> 01:45:27,880 There's a lot of good things in Dungeon Messi and there's a lot 1933 01:45:27,880 --> 01:45:32,080 of things that I was personally a little bored with, but I guess 1934 01:45:32,080 --> 01:45:33,840 to like score things out really quick. 1935 01:45:33,840 --> 01:45:36,960 I gave apothecary Diaries for 10, I gave solo leveling A9, I 1936 01:45:36,960 --> 01:45:42,320 gave Dungeon Messi an 8, and I like Dungeon Messi, it's just 1937 01:45:42,320 --> 01:45:45,600 not my particular T. Before you get to the the 1938 01:45:45,600 --> 01:45:49,920 winners though, I just got to say in terms of this, I would be 1939 01:45:49,960 --> 01:45:55,560 cool with it next year if Soul leveling season 2 was on anime 1940 01:45:55,560 --> 01:46:00,120 of the year. I think this is a maybe part of 1941 01:46:00,120 --> 01:46:03,760 my rant that I want to get to, but I think including something 1942 01:46:03,760 --> 01:46:07,440 like season 1 of Soul Leveling when you are the Crunchyroll 1943 01:46:07,440 --> 01:46:12,560 awards and I understand that you are wanting to promote shows 1944 01:46:12,560 --> 01:46:14,720 that you are putting a lot of money into it. 1945 01:46:14,720 --> 01:46:18,360 Like I get it. I get why Kaiju #8 and Soul 1946 01:46:18,360 --> 01:46:21,600 Leveling are on everything. Yeah, I think if you've noticed, 1947 01:46:21,600 --> 01:46:27,160 Kaiju #8 has won nothing so far. It has not no until. 1948 01:46:27,200 --> 01:46:30,400 I don't think it's winning, which would be it would be very 1949 01:46:30,400 --> 01:46:36,120 on brand for Kaiju #8 to win. Anime of the year and nothing. 1950 01:46:36,120 --> 01:46:41,120 Else if the devil may cry baby. Yeah, yeah. 1951 01:46:41,280 --> 01:46:45,160 I just think for, I like, I like soul leveling, like I, I think 1952 01:46:45,160 --> 01:46:48,240 season 2 is a significant step up from season 1. 1953 01:46:48,760 --> 01:46:52,560 So season 1 being included in a lot of these to me is a slap in 1954 01:46:52,560 --> 01:46:56,440 the face. I think it's really just like 1955 01:46:56,480 --> 01:46:59,320 there's like a level of like corporate greed where you need 1956 01:46:59,320 --> 01:47:03,440 to stop. I'm a huge wrestling fan in WWE. 1957 01:47:03,440 --> 01:47:05,720 They do promotional stuff all the time. 1958 01:47:06,080 --> 01:47:10,960 Like to get, you know, there's the prime logo in the center of 1959 01:47:10,960 --> 01:47:13,880 the ring and then there's like a prime hydration stand on the 1960 01:47:13,880 --> 01:47:16,200 side to get the the prime sponsorship. 1961 01:47:16,320 --> 01:47:20,000 Like I think it's stupid, but I understand why it is there in 1962 01:47:20,000 --> 01:47:24,600 terms of that. But if you have 40 prime 1963 01:47:25,120 --> 01:47:27,160 advertisements somewhere, that's too much. 1964 01:47:27,200 --> 01:47:32,200 And it's like you're pushing away what makes, you know, like 1965 01:47:32,200 --> 01:47:35,920 why we are here. And it it is a little ironic 1966 01:47:35,920 --> 01:47:38,920 that Crunchyroll started off as like a pirating site and is now 1967 01:47:38,920 --> 01:47:40,880 just like a corporate whatever it is. 1968 01:47:40,880 --> 01:47:45,960 But when you would you want to show, would you want to showcase 1969 01:47:45,960 --> 01:47:50,360 the year that it was 2023? We had hundreds, hundreds of 1970 01:47:50,360 --> 01:47:53,480 seasonals. Is season 1 of Solo Leveling 1971 01:47:53,480 --> 01:47:58,600 really a top 6 show? Is Kaiju #8 really a top 6 show? 1972 01:47:59,120 --> 01:48:04,560 And I think even somebody who has watched 3020 seasonals would 1973 01:48:04,560 --> 01:48:08,360 say no like it. It's not even close to the same 1974 01:48:08,360 --> 01:48:14,320 level in production and and talent and the outcomes of the 1975 01:48:14,320 --> 01:48:16,720 stories that we've gotten compared to something like free 1976 01:48:16,720 --> 01:48:19,480 run, compared to something like Delicious and Dungeon like I 1977 01:48:19,480 --> 01:48:23,520 just don't think that there are they these should be left off of 1978 01:48:24,480 --> 01:48:27,640 like the end of the year and we should actually showcase what 1979 01:48:27,640 --> 01:48:32,040 was the top 6 show. And yeah, I think on this list 1980 01:48:32,040 --> 01:48:33,440 there's three of them that should not be. 1981 01:48:33,640 --> 01:48:36,800 So I would say four. Yeah. 1982 01:48:36,800 --> 01:48:38,800 While I'm cool with soul leveling being on like some of 1983 01:48:38,800 --> 01:48:42,640 the other ones, it I think it should absolutely not be on 1984 01:48:42,640 --> 01:48:44,320 here. And it sucks because it's 1985 01:48:44,320 --> 01:48:47,280 probably going to win like. Yeah. 1986 01:48:47,960 --> 01:48:51,240 I it shouldn't. I guess like, I think it's like 1987 01:48:51,240 --> 01:48:54,000 a hard thing to do and it's a bit of a self fulfilling 1988 01:48:54,000 --> 01:48:59,000 prophecy, right? They push these shows. 1989 01:48:59,680 --> 01:49:04,080 So I have friends at work who aren't seasonal watchers who 1990 01:49:04,080 --> 01:49:07,200 watch a couple of anime at a season, maybe like two or three. 1991 01:49:07,280 --> 01:49:09,080 Right? Like they don't even know what a 1992 01:49:09,080 --> 01:49:10,880 seasonal is though that's just happens to be what they're 1993 01:49:10,880 --> 01:49:12,080 watching. Whatever area, yeah. 1994 01:49:12,640 --> 01:49:15,760 Yeah. And like, they will talk to me 1995 01:49:15,760 --> 01:49:17,960 about Kaiju #8, they will talk to me about solo levelling, they 1996 01:49:17,960 --> 01:49:20,400 will talk to me about free rend. In fact, they will talk to me 1997 01:49:20,400 --> 01:49:24,040 about five of these shows. Now some of these shows are 1998 01:49:24,040 --> 01:49:30,400 worthy as you, as you've said, you know, I think we have like 2 1999 01:49:30,400 --> 01:49:37,960 Netflix shows on here and you know, and they're not afraid to 2000 01:49:37,960 --> 01:49:42,120 put non things. But when stuff gets promoted and 2001 01:49:42,120 --> 01:49:44,960 more people watch it, and then when you have these awards, 2002 01:49:44,960 --> 01:49:49,480 which are clearly influenced by popularity to a very large 2003 01:49:49,480 --> 01:49:51,640 amount, it's it's self fulfilling. 2004 01:49:51,640 --> 01:49:54,920 You know what I mean? Like, I don't even know if it's 2005 01:49:55,440 --> 01:49:59,280 Crunchyroll's greed because someone is paying the money to 2006 01:49:59,280 --> 01:50:01,600 promote Kaiju #8 everywhere, right? 2007 01:50:01,680 --> 01:50:04,480 So they do that. So a ton of people watch Kaiju 2008 01:50:04,480 --> 01:50:10,640 #8 and Crunchyroll has pull. You know, if there were a high 2009 01:50:10,640 --> 01:50:15,320 dive horse, you know one, they would somehow be worse than 2010 01:50:15,320 --> 01:50:19,040 this, even though it would be hard and like they wouldn't 2011 01:50:19,040 --> 01:50:20,640 work, right? They would just like have anime 2012 01:50:20,640 --> 01:50:26,480 from 2007 on there or something, but like that the the brand high 2013 01:50:26,480 --> 01:50:30,320 dive wouldn't be drawing in as many people as Crunchyroll. 2014 01:50:30,320 --> 01:50:35,360 Like I know a lot of people who are anime casuals who watch 2015 01:50:35,720 --> 01:50:37,680 Crunchyroll. They have a Crunchyroll account, 2016 01:50:37,680 --> 01:50:40,320 but they're not going to look for anime anywhere other than 2017 01:50:40,320 --> 01:50:44,600 Crunchyroll and Netflix. And honestly, that gets you 90% 2018 01:50:44,600 --> 01:50:49,040 of the way there, you know, and that's not me like I, I don't 2019 01:50:49,040 --> 01:50:51,200 know, I'm not trying to like get keep that, you know what I mean? 2020 01:50:51,720 --> 01:50:57,120 So if you're trying to you promoted these shows and some 2021 01:50:57,120 --> 01:51:00,640 large percentage of your audience, like like any given 2022 01:51:00,640 --> 01:51:04,440 audience, a larger percentage of it is going to be casuals than 2023 01:51:04,680 --> 01:51:07,800 like diehards, right? You know, we're in a community 2024 01:51:08,040 --> 01:51:11,600 where out of the people who do seasonal reviews and stuff, I'm 2025 01:51:11,600 --> 01:51:14,920 watching like somewhere between 8:00 and 12:00 seasonals a 2026 01:51:14,920 --> 01:51:17,440 season. And that is low for our 2027 01:51:17,440 --> 01:51:22,440 community. That is very high for your 2028 01:51:22,440 --> 01:51:25,520 average person who is interested in. 2029 01:51:25,800 --> 01:51:27,480 You're in the top 1%. I would. 2030 01:51:27,800 --> 01:51:30,800 Say exactly we're in the same percentile probably, and you 2031 01:51:30,800 --> 01:51:34,480 watch probably twice as much as me if you're rounding to your 2032 01:51:34,480 --> 01:51:39,320 nearest one. Yeah, obviously, you know, 2033 01:51:39,320 --> 01:51:41,480 you're probably like 99 point 9th or whatever. 2034 01:51:41,480 --> 01:51:45,360 But I I guess my thought is like, I don't know how much of 2035 01:51:45,360 --> 01:51:49,960 it is corporate greed because you have shows here and shows of 2036 01:51:49,960 --> 01:51:51,840 one that aren't Crunchyroll shows. 2037 01:51:52,880 --> 01:51:55,080 Yeah. But that's like we, I think we 2038 01:51:55,080 --> 01:51:58,160 got there. There's like a pre Sony era and 2039 01:51:58,160 --> 01:52:01,800 a post Sony era and we are in a post Sony era and I think it 2040 01:52:01,800 --> 01:52:06,480 we're going to continue to see stuff like this. 2041 01:52:06,840 --> 01:52:09,760 I I mean I agree, but delicious and dungeon is a Netflix show 2042 01:52:09,760 --> 01:52:12,280 and Dan to Dan is a Netflix show and they. 2043 01:52:12,400 --> 01:52:15,560 I think Dan's on both. Was it on both? 2044 01:52:15,560 --> 01:52:18,480 I think it's on Crunchyroll and Netflix if I'm not mistaken. 2045 01:52:19,160 --> 01:52:20,960 OK, I did. I I saw it premiering on 2046 01:52:20,960 --> 01:52:21,680 Netflix. For what? 2047 01:52:21,680 --> 01:52:24,040 It's science, Saru. It was almost certainly Netflix. 2048 01:52:24,040 --> 01:52:26,200 I think actually because they have that deal with Netflix. 2049 01:52:26,840 --> 01:52:30,040 Yeah is on Crunchyroll. Oh OK, count it. 2050 01:52:30,960 --> 01:52:34,920 So delicious in Dungeon, a show which is 1 zero awards, but it's 2051 01:52:34,920 --> 01:52:37,720 been eliminated for many, you know, was on there. 2052 01:52:37,720 --> 01:52:39,400 But no, you do raise a good point there. 2053 01:52:39,400 --> 01:52:41,120 I I don't know. I just don't know how much of it 2054 01:52:41,120 --> 01:52:42,480 is like a chicken or an egg thing. 2055 01:52:42,480 --> 01:52:45,160 Right. Like whoever like Toho Animation 2056 01:52:45,160 --> 01:52:47,840 pays them a billion dollars to promote Kaiju #8. 2057 01:52:47,840 --> 01:52:49,120 What are they going to do, say no? 2058 01:52:50,440 --> 01:52:52,200 Yeah. And then everyone knows who 2059 01:52:52,200 --> 01:52:55,600 Kaiju #8 is now, and they'll be disappointed if it's not on this 2060 01:52:55,600 --> 01:52:56,840 list. We're on the same way. 2061 01:52:57,280 --> 01:53:01,520 We're on the same way, but there's there is a, there is a 2062 01:53:01,520 --> 01:53:06,360 limit that we don't know until we like feel it where it's like, 2063 01:53:06,440 --> 01:53:09,040 OK, this is over saturation of Kaiju #8. 2064 01:53:09,040 --> 01:53:11,560 This is over saturation of soul leveling. 2065 01:53:11,760 --> 01:53:14,920 I don't think that I don't know how many people share this 2066 01:53:14,920 --> 01:53:16,760 opinion, but I think it's just kind of what it is. 2067 01:53:16,760 --> 01:53:20,120 And the truth is in the West, this is viewed as our Oscars, 2068 01:53:20,360 --> 01:53:23,760 whether we like the production value that goes into it. 2069 01:53:23,800 --> 01:53:27,320 And like, that's what sets it apart from like anime corner, 2070 01:53:27,360 --> 01:53:28,560 anime trending. What do you say? 2071 01:53:28,560 --> 01:53:30,680 Anime Award. It's like, yeah, well, this is 2072 01:53:30,680 --> 01:53:32,480 industry people, right? They put this on. 2073 01:53:32,560 --> 01:53:36,160 Industry, they put hundreds of thousands, if not millions of 2074 01:53:36,160 --> 01:53:40,520 dollars to it. And so it's like when you are I 2075 01:53:40,520 --> 01:53:45,080 guess, I guess it's like this. It's you have a, you have a like 2076 01:53:45,240 --> 01:53:46,800 whatever the public thinks about you. 2077 01:53:46,800 --> 01:53:50,560 And when we come to stuff like this, you get to choose how 2078 01:53:50,960 --> 01:53:55,600 greedy or how out of the loop you want to be in terms of 2079 01:53:55,600 --> 01:53:58,120 wanting to push the product. I just think this year it was 2080 01:53:58,120 --> 01:54:00,240 too much. It reminded me a lot of the My 2081 01:54:00,240 --> 01:54:03,960 Hero Academia awards when that one everything, it was dominated 2082 01:54:03,960 --> 01:54:06,520 for everything. And we saw like I maybe I 2083 01:54:06,520 --> 01:54:10,440 thought it might be a little different from like changing how 2084 01:54:10,440 --> 01:54:13,600 we structure things like last year where we saw a chainsaw man 2085 01:54:13,600 --> 01:54:16,200 get nominated for like 25 things and won one. 2086 01:54:16,800 --> 01:54:20,360 And it's just like, OK, maybe the big shonen properties aren't 2087 01:54:20,360 --> 01:54:23,120 going to win everything. And this year it's like, I feel 2088 01:54:23,120 --> 01:54:26,240 like we're going back a step instead of going forward. 2089 01:54:26,680 --> 01:54:29,440 But I guess we still need to hear what one because it's 2090 01:54:29,440 --> 01:54:31,640 something like if delicious and dungeon won. 2091 01:54:32,040 --> 01:54:35,800 I I I think that's all like controls like on brand for like 2092 01:54:35,800 --> 01:54:38,600 so many different things. Like it's done the thing where 2093 01:54:38,600 --> 01:54:42,520 it's like the Super popular shonen series wins 15 2094 01:54:42,520 --> 01:54:45,440 categories, but then anime of the year is some random show 2095 01:54:45,440 --> 01:54:49,800 that like 15 people watched. Like when Apari Ronman got 2096 01:54:49,800 --> 01:54:52,360 nominated for Anime of the Year, it's like, who the fuck watched 2097 01:54:52,360 --> 01:54:55,400 Apari Ronman? I did, I dropped it. 2098 01:54:56,160 --> 01:54:58,840 Or we could do the the My Hero Academia awards where it's 2099 01:54:58,840 --> 01:55:01,640 nominated for 17 things and wins 14 of it. 2100 01:55:02,000 --> 01:55:06,440 I just think of how we're how we're feeling right now, man Sol 2101 01:55:06,440 --> 01:55:08,120 Levelling's going to win. I just know it's going to win. 2102 01:55:08,120 --> 01:55:12,280 Just say it. Yeah, solo loving one, but there 2103 01:55:12,400 --> 01:55:15,640 is I I did do a joke and I thought you'd be looking at the 2104 01:55:15,640 --> 01:55:18,560 slides where I say free grin and then I say LOLJK, solo levelling 2105 01:55:18,560 --> 01:55:20,120 1. So I think that's funny. 2106 01:55:21,160 --> 01:55:26,640 You know, as someone who, as someone who has been defending 2107 01:55:27,160 --> 01:55:29,560 solo levelling or good, because I do enjoy it, right, like you, 2108 01:55:29,560 --> 01:55:34,400 you said, is it the top 6? Is it's not in my top 6 anime of 2109 01:55:34,400 --> 01:55:38,040 last year, I presume, because like off the top of my head, I 2110 01:55:38,040 --> 01:55:41,080 can think of four that I would place higher. 2111 01:55:42,240 --> 01:55:45,720 So it's not hard to get those other two and you know, I just 2112 01:55:45,960 --> 01:55:48,560 can't think of them like right off the top of my head. 2113 01:55:49,280 --> 01:55:55,240 But you know, I do agree. Like I I think it's it's 2114 01:55:55,240 --> 01:55:59,760 interesting how it goes. Like we have well, what do we 2115 01:55:59,760 --> 01:56:01,520 have here? So we have it's delicious 2116 01:56:01,520 --> 01:56:03,600 dungeon, a shonen or. It's a sign in. 2117 01:56:03,720 --> 01:56:07,320 A sign in. OK so we have what 2 sign in 2118 01:56:07,520 --> 01:56:12,800 three shonen and a manwa? Which, yeah, I mean if we, if we 2119 01:56:12,800 --> 01:56:14,480 had that, if. It was made in Japan. 2120 01:56:14,480 --> 01:56:16,640 It would probably be shonen. It's a shonen. 2121 01:56:18,720 --> 01:56:23,160 So yeah, yeah, that's that's sort of, I guess The Apothecary 2122 01:56:23,160 --> 01:56:27,160 Diaries is a light novel. Yeah, it's but it's manga as a 2123 01:56:27,720 --> 01:56:30,560 sign in. Yeah, that's a little different, 2124 01:56:30,560 --> 01:56:33,240 but yeah, it is a sign in so interesting. 2125 01:56:33,600 --> 01:56:37,000 Yeah, that that was it it I wasn't the most upset with it. 2126 01:56:37,000 --> 01:56:39,680 I think it's wrong, mind you, but again, it was like my third 2127 01:56:39,680 --> 01:56:44,320 favorite show of this list. But I do understand that it's 2128 01:56:44,320 --> 01:56:48,280 not the correct choice because I think like one does it. 2129 01:56:48,400 --> 01:56:51,920 Should it even be here when it's like an intro arc sort of thing 2130 01:56:51,920 --> 01:56:54,600 and we have an arc that pretty much everyone agrees is better 2131 01:56:54,840 --> 01:56:58,360 going on right now. And then we have, you know, 2132 01:56:58,360 --> 01:57:01,520 shows that we love like girls been cried that the demons, 2133 01:57:01,520 --> 01:57:07,720 etcetera that aren't on this list like at all, you know, so. 2134 01:57:09,080 --> 01:57:11,920 I I just, I just remembered something about this year's 2135 01:57:12,760 --> 01:57:14,080 awards. Compared to what? 2136 01:57:14,120 --> 01:57:17,360 Does it include? Yeah, and the fact that freaking 2137 01:57:17,360 --> 01:57:20,760 JJK won Anime of the year last year for Hidden Inventory, which 2138 01:57:20,760 --> 01:57:25,280 is 6 episodes or whatever, and Shibuya is not nominated for 2139 01:57:25,440 --> 01:57:29,800 anything in this award. Yep, JJK was nominated for one 2140 01:57:29,800 --> 01:57:31,920 thing. Turkish voice actor or 2141 01:57:31,920 --> 01:57:35,040 something? Yes, it was Hindi voice action, 2142 01:57:36,040 --> 01:57:40,800 Yeah. Man, it's just the structure of 2143 01:57:40,800 --> 01:57:44,200 this year, like with them doing like the the time frames that 2144 01:57:44,200 --> 01:57:46,560 they're doing like including shows from 2023. 2145 01:57:46,920 --> 01:57:49,360 That way they could even they can like flatten it for the 2146 01:57:49,400 --> 01:57:51,560 years following. Like I get it, but it just 2147 01:57:51,560 --> 01:57:54,960 seemed really clunky this year. Like what I think is weird is 2148 01:57:54,960 --> 01:57:57,600 that this is a larger selection of shows than we are ever going 2149 01:57:57,600 --> 01:58:00,960 to see and have ever seen. And I don't know, even though I 2150 01:58:00,960 --> 01:58:05,640 like a lot, a lot of well, I think so because like that that 2151 01:58:05,640 --> 01:58:08,800 are in the pool, right, Because it's starts at 2023 and it goes 2152 01:58:08,800 --> 01:58:10,560 through what? Like in terms of that, Yeah, 2153 01:58:10,600 --> 01:58:11,960 yeah, yeah. I thought you meant like number 2154 01:58:11,960 --> 01:58:13,680 of shows actually nominated. OK. 2155 01:58:13,840 --> 01:58:15,240 No, no, no, no. That's what I'm saying. 2156 01:58:15,240 --> 01:58:18,440 So like that even though I like a lot of these shows, right? 2157 01:58:18,840 --> 01:58:21,880 Like, I I love Friedrich. Should it be nominated for best 2158 01:58:21,880 --> 01:58:23,360 drama? I don't know. 2159 01:58:23,360 --> 01:58:26,480 I don't like. Yeah, like I think it, you know, 2160 01:58:26,520 --> 01:58:30,760 like for that aspect of unless it's just like, it's tough 2161 01:58:30,760 --> 01:58:32,840 because you could be like, OK, what's the best show that could 2162 01:58:32,840 --> 01:58:35,520 reasonably qualify as a genre? And then of course it should be 2163 01:58:35,520 --> 01:58:37,080 in there. But do you want to be like, what 2164 01:58:37,080 --> 01:58:39,920 shows are the best because of the drama that they have? 2165 01:58:40,160 --> 01:58:42,080 I would say no. Agreed. 2166 01:58:42,840 --> 01:58:45,920 So. I mean, that gets that gets to 2167 01:58:45,920 --> 01:58:48,440 the end of it. I guess what I would say more 2168 01:58:48,440 --> 01:58:52,760 than anything is it's I know it's just I have a selfish need 2169 01:58:52,840 --> 01:58:56,800 or want because we have our own awards, but really find a 2170 01:58:56,800 --> 01:59:02,000 community that you mesh with at least like, I don't know, 60% of 2171 01:59:02,000 --> 01:59:03,600 the time, it doesn't have to be 100%. 2172 01:59:03,600 --> 01:59:07,600 You're never going to find that. But find like a community and 2173 01:59:07,600 --> 01:59:10,040 mesh with that. You mesh with and like engage 2174 01:59:10,040 --> 01:59:15,120 with those people and have like your own awards and whatever. 2175 01:59:15,120 --> 01:59:19,080 Because, you know, we see different communities with like 2176 01:59:19,160 --> 01:59:22,520 anime trending and Anime Corner where they have like their skews 2177 01:59:22,520 --> 01:59:25,840 towards different shows that I'm not particularly a fan of. 2178 01:59:25,840 --> 01:59:31,800 But like, if you are like that should be your your like crown 2179 01:59:31,800 --> 01:59:33,320 jewel. Like that should be like the 2180 01:59:33,320 --> 01:59:38,520 award show that you are wanting. Because like for me as somebody 2181 01:59:38,520 --> 01:59:43,680 who does this, like I take so much time to go not only consume 2182 01:59:43,680 --> 01:59:49,040 all of these shows, but like have an unbiased reasoning of 2183 01:59:49,040 --> 01:59:51,320 like why these shows should be included. 2184 01:59:51,920 --> 01:59:54,760 And when you, when I do it, I would love to see it 2185 01:59:54,760 --> 01:59:58,400 reciprocated within like with these awards and other awards. 2186 01:59:58,400 --> 02:00:02,240 When you don't see that, when you see like shows that like are 2187 02:00:02,240 --> 02:00:07,360 so out of left field, it to me it kills like credibility. 2188 02:00:07,760 --> 02:00:10,440 And it also just to me, it shows that like you're doing this for 2189 02:00:10,440 --> 02:00:13,160 different reasons. So I would just say, if you like 2190 02:00:13,160 --> 02:00:15,880 our awards, I would love if you continue supporting it. 2191 02:00:16,200 --> 02:00:18,720 But if you love other people's awards, continue to support 2192 02:00:18,720 --> 02:00:21,000 them. And just make the best that you 2193 02:00:21,000 --> 02:00:22,840 can with like the medium that we love. 2194 02:00:22,840 --> 02:00:26,520 Because I know people shun the Oscars all the time and people 2195 02:00:26,520 --> 02:00:27,920 shun the Crunchyroll awards all the time. 2196 02:00:27,920 --> 02:00:32,080 And I just, I guess to me, I don't want Crunchyroll awards to 2197 02:00:32,080 --> 02:00:36,880 be something that we are planning on shitting on every 2198 02:00:36,880 --> 02:00:39,200 year. And that's kind of what it. 2199 02:00:39,200 --> 02:00:43,440 Is Yeah, I, you know, I, I agree with that. 2200 02:00:43,440 --> 02:00:46,840 I think it's interesting because it's almost the opposite problem 2201 02:00:46,840 --> 02:00:51,640 that the Oscars have, were the Oscars tend to get a bit self 2202 02:00:52,120 --> 02:00:55,840 graduatory, yeah. 100%. Because right where they, you 2203 02:00:55,880 --> 02:00:57,680 know, there was that whole period where they did a whole 2204 02:00:57,680 --> 02:01:00,160 bunch of like white saviour stuff to like show how much they 2205 02:01:00,160 --> 02:01:04,640 cared about like minorities and everything and like, and fucking 2206 02:01:05,520 --> 02:01:07,840 Oh my God, what is that? What is that movie with the 2207 02:01:07,880 --> 02:01:11,640 cops? No, it's like there's like a cop 2208 02:01:11,680 --> 02:01:13,920 and then he like learns to hate black people. 2209 02:01:13,920 --> 02:01:15,280 And then everyone was like, Oh, is. 2210 02:01:15,400 --> 02:01:18,320 It Gyllenhaal movie. No, that's Nightcrawler. 2211 02:01:18,440 --> 02:01:20,600 No, that's a different. There's a, There's a. 2212 02:01:20,640 --> 02:01:24,040 Crash crash. I've never seen crash. 2213 02:01:25,280 --> 02:01:28,000 Anyways, that movie fucking sucks picture. 2214 02:01:30,720 --> 02:01:32,720 There's a few movies that fucking suck in in one. 2215 02:01:32,760 --> 02:01:34,760 Fucking Fargo. Not Fargo. 2216 02:01:35,080 --> 02:01:37,040 Argo. I'll say Fargo kicks ass. 2217 02:01:37,520 --> 02:01:41,200 No Fargo's great Argo, which is a is a movie The. 2218 02:01:41,480 --> 02:01:43,160 Yeah, that was all right. It was OK. 2219 02:01:43,160 --> 02:01:44,960 Yeah. Yeah, Best picture? 2220 02:01:45,120 --> 02:01:46,440 No. That's what. 2221 02:01:46,440 --> 02:01:47,680 That's what soul leveling is. Me. 2222 02:01:47,680 --> 02:01:50,160 Soul leveling is Argo. That's fair. 2223 02:01:50,640 --> 02:01:53,320 You like like Ben Affleck wasn't even nominated for best director 2224 02:01:53,320 --> 02:01:56,120 and then it won best picture anyways, point being. 2225 02:01:56,360 --> 02:01:58,720 And then like the time, you know, they were like, fuck it, 2226 02:01:58,720 --> 02:02:00,360 Leo here, here, have an award the. 2227 02:02:00,360 --> 02:02:01,560 Reverend. Yep, there you go. 2228 02:02:01,560 --> 02:02:03,640 Yeah, which which was fine. It was a good movie. 2229 02:02:03,640 --> 02:02:08,040 But like that, that's it. And all this to say, there's a 2230 02:02:08,040 --> 02:02:10,440 lot of politics that go into something when it becomes at the 2231 02:02:10,440 --> 02:02:13,600 scale of any of these things, right, like the Oscars or even 2232 02:02:13,600 --> 02:02:15,840 smaller like the Crunchyroll awards, there's still going to 2233 02:02:15,840 --> 02:02:18,800 be a lot of politics involved. You want to make people happy 2234 02:02:18,880 --> 02:02:21,080 that are supporting you. You want to make people happy 2235 02:02:21,080 --> 02:02:25,520 who are industry, you know, you don't want to piss people off. 2236 02:02:25,520 --> 02:02:27,080 You're working with that is inherent. 2237 02:02:27,760 --> 02:02:31,640 So the benefit of a smaller communities, you know, like Pete 2238 02:02:31,640 --> 02:02:33,680 has shouted out like anime Corner anime trainings us, 2239 02:02:33,680 --> 02:02:38,200 whoever you know, your feet like even fucking trash taste or 2240 02:02:38,200 --> 02:02:40,720 something, right? Like even a podcast that's the 2241 02:02:40,720 --> 02:02:42,920 biggest anime podcast is so much smaller compared to this. 2242 02:02:43,320 --> 02:02:45,840 They can do whatever they want because it doesn't really 2243 02:02:45,840 --> 02:02:50,120 matter. You know, they can we can do we 2244 02:02:50,120 --> 02:02:53,480 can talk shit about Kaiju #8 and the people that paid us 10s of 2245 02:02:53,480 --> 02:02:57,280 $1,000,000 to promote it a ton are not gonna be upset because 2246 02:02:57,280 --> 02:03:01,800 they don't care because we have 1000 listeners like which is 2247 02:03:01,800 --> 02:03:03,240 nice.
