Finally fulfilled. This is what my heart's been
waiting for. Hold me now I'm finally
fulfilled. Pick me up to dancing.
Hello, ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to What You Say anime.
I'm your host Peter. On today's episode we were
bringing back a fan favor that everybody can play along to and
that is the My Anime list review game where we take the most
prestigious, elitist and downright terrible reviews found
on the popular website my Anime list and make a guessing game
out of it. Myself and my lovely Co host
Miles and Preston and join me today from the Anime D Jens
podcast we have Tyler. Links to Tyler's podcast will be
found in the description below. So if you want to find another
podcast after you shut this trash off, this is the one for
you. We'll all be playing today.
So how does the game work? It's simple.
We will each read 2 reviews. After reviews are read,
contestants will guess the show and a two point range on what we
think the reviewer rated it. Our system for guessing ratings
are one to 2/3 to 4/5 to 6/7 to 8:00 and 9:00 to ten.
Guessing the show will award you a point.
Guessing the score will get you a point.
Getting both will award you a bonus point.
There is a way to score 4 points by not choosing a range and
simply locking in a single score.
In terms of guessing the show, as long as you guess the
franchise correctly, we will count it.
Example of the review is for Dragon Ball GT and you just say
Dragon Ball, that's fine. We play for fun so if people
steal answers from other people, that's fine.
Just publicly shame them in our YouTube or Discord comments.
Links to those are also in the description below.
So without further ado, let's dive into round one.
REDACTED is an abysmal continuation of what could have
been an interesting story. The first season showcases
fascinating world building, captivating the viewer of
enchanting atmospheres and the promise of a journey in search
for knowledge. All qualities.
This season completely failed to carry that on.
There were foreshadowings in the shortcomings of the of this
season, but the detachment from the strong points of the plot
was excused by the events that were essentially the
continuation of the plot. Here the story becomes static
once again and it's abruptly interrupted, but it feels like a
12 episode long filler episode, which is by definition a useless
plot. We learned nothing from this
journey with the exception of 1 character.
But can we truly say though that we have learned something new
about their past? The objective of the new season
is to introduce us to a new character who's going to join
the original trio. This is a major goal, but not
the expense of halting the story for the entire narrative.
Furthermore, said character story is complicated and strange
in a matter that feels exhibitionist.
The gore and gruesome forms of the being did not feel organic
with the canonic element. Indeed, the story is quite
simple, but it seems as if the author's intention was to show
off this grizzly animation. It was as if the story was
written just to appear strained, as if asking you, am I not
quirky? Am I not incredibly original and
different from all other stories?
Just like these people who tried to appear eccentric just to set
themselves apart from the other? Some of the character designs
were well thought out and respected in their personality,
but it's just not sufficient considering that was only true
for two of the dozen characters. I understand the intention
behind the introduction of the other languages, but the
constant repetition of some locations are annoying and
migraine trigger, especially so far when we've experienced no
explanations behind it. If you find yourself at the end
of this too long of a review, just know that you are not that
this was born out of hatred from not from the original story, but
from the disappointment of what could have been.
Gentlemen, the genre is a fantasy.
What do we think the score is and the show?
We will start with Preston. Yeah, this is the worst possible
one for me to go first on. SO the whole review at the
beginning, I thought this is freer and bait because it's it
sounds identical to season 2. But then you mentioned a fourth
member when they really weren't searching for 1/4 member since
they have the other dude, the MILF lover.
And so the only show that would have like new languages that you
mentioned that I can think of being a sequel season would be
like Mushoku Tense. So that's all I've got for it
since I don't watch fantasy like that.
And I'll say it's a 34. 3-4 Mushoku tense.
All right, Tyler, what do you think?
I don't think it's Mushoku Tense 'cause I feel like they, I don't
know, the character numbers fill us off on that one.
They wasn't really. I feel like they wasn't really
searching, searching for a new member either.
I was thinking Fearon as well, but let me.
Just put the preference these people could be wrong in their
review. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, they, so they even said like 12 episodes, right?
12 episodes filler or whatever. And that's not, that's not right
for Fearon either. But like, I've been sitting here
trying to think and like, I have literally no other ideal on like
a trio looking for another group.
I mean, a group member, a fourth or whatever, but there's like a
bunch of different people apparently.
And there's 12 episodes and it all feels like filler.
So I, I, I guess I'm going to go free in season 2 even like,
because they could be wrong. They could just, you know, maybe
thought that they watched 12 episodes and maybe they thought
that there was going to be a fourth character introduced or
something like that. I'm going to go with Fear in
Season 2 and I'm going to go with A4. 40 you're going, you're
not doing a range, you're going straight 4.
I'm a gambler. I love gambling.
I. Love it.
I love it. This is why I invited Tyler onto
the podcast. Miles, you look like you're
about to rip your hair out. What are you thinking?
Yeah, I mean, I, I have, I have a migraine and that review
didn't help it. I don't even, I don't even know
if I like what this thing is like.
I, I, I don't know what it, my first thought was like, like
reincarnated as a slime season 2 because it, you know, it was
obviously fantasy and I knew that they they just like shoved
a bunch of meetings into that season and but it doesn't sound
like by the end that's, that's what it was.
But that was that was my initial thought.
I haven't, I've yet to watch freer in season 2.
I do apologize. It is a group with three people
in it, though. It does sort of feel weird that
someone would watch Freer in season 1 and then be upset about
the things that they said they were upset about in Freer in
Season 2, if this is that. But that doesn't necessarily
mean it's a rational thought, right?
Like sometimes you just bounce off of stuff.
I'm going to go, I'm going to say Freer in Season 2 as well,
because thinking through every fantasy group thing that I can
think of that I've seen, I think it's the only thing with three
people in the group that I can think of.
I know the MILF guy is there, but like he's not super real,
right? Like he's I mean I haven't seen
season 2 maybe. They're like he's gone by the
time Season 2. Starts Yeah, I knew he was gone
at the end of season 1, but I didn't know if he like showed
back up or whatever or something like that.
I you know, I, I don't know if they're looking for someone
else. I I don't know what happens.
I haven't seen it. It's just the only thing I can
think of off the top of my head. There's three people in the
group. It also feels like you would
have languages in it. Like there is some like Zoltrek
is like an ancient language. So like maybe they bring stuff
like that into the world building, but I can't think of
that. The only thing that has like
different languages that I can think about the top of my head
is like RE0. I don't 0 has like I I've only
seen season 1 of that. It's got a large cast.
I don't know. I'm going to say fragrance
season 2 because because why not?
And then I'm going to say it's a 3 specifically.
A three specifically, OK, I think this might be the first
time in Val review game history where all three people scored
zero points so. Makes sense?
What if I said that the. Language.
Was also introduced into the soundtrack.
Would that help? Wasn't like made in abyss.
It was made in Abyss. I thought an abyss but I haven't
seen it, so I had no clue if there was special languages
created. Yep.
Yeah, that's. The fuck is the third person in
the made in Abyss group? Yeah, I, I took it out because
of that, because I've only seen season 1 and there's only two
people you know, I've seen season.
Damn. Nana Tree Nana tree is the. 3rd
Oh yeah. Holy shit.
Yeah, yeah. Yep, that's a whole other.
Thing we got that. Yep.
Yep, so the answer was Maiden best or Maiden best season 2
which is I. I found it crazy just because
it's my favorite sequel of any anime in history.
I just think it's phenomenal and they gave the show a 2 out of
10. Damn, so close.
I knew it was lower than the four, but I thought it was like
a three. So everybody's on Playground,
the same playground except for technically me.
I think I'm technically ahead just in terms of.
EV, you're ahead because you went first.
Yeah, yes. So.
One start, Preston, you're up. Great.
OK so just get off RIP. The genre for this show is in
action. Honestly if this were side
character story I would have watched 500 episodes.
Side character should be the main character, not the pervert
of the MCI. Think the perfect word to
describe him is Pajero in Spanish.
Quick translation check. Paheno means wanker slash jerk
off in Spanish. So I think is understandable
that MC is such a pervert considering how he grew up, but
it's still unbearable. We got it, you are a virgin and
don't want to die that way. But why focus the plot on his
relationships with women if it's not going to lead to anything?
MC does not have a goal beside eating and thinking of get laid
is such a boring main character and not only because of that,
also because the story itself don't want to be more than that.
On the other hand the story starts a little slow but after
about episode 5 the story keeps you watching and about.
The animation is so good. The opening and the endings are
amazing as well. The ending 8 is art.
As I was watching the 1st 15 seconds I was thinking I would
watch 200 animes of this and the ending 12 is done by my favorite
Japanese singer. So definitely I didn't skip any
of them and I think are pretty iconic.
That's it. Main character is Pajero and
boring side character equals God.
English is no my first language by the way.
And anyway, I'm not really interested of doing a good
review of this anime since they weren't really interested of
doing a good story that is the end of the review.
I like that review a lot. It was simple and to the point.
I did have to cut a little bit because it would have given a
lot away, but yeah, it was really to the point.
All right, Tyler, you're up first.
Well my first thoughts was I kept on coming back to like rent
a girlfriend but like it seems like the is it this can we get
generous? Action.
Yeah, yeah, you can always ask me for them again.
It is action. Action OK I.
Just wanted to that's what I thought, but I I didn't know if
the run a girl. I mean, maybe run a girlfriend's
different than I. Imagined.
No, no, it. I mean.
Pete Acacio got his aspy every single episode, then had to sit
in the cock chair. That changes things like so
there's a main character and there's there's a sporting
character that's better and it's action, but it's a harem so it's
probably an Issakai. I hate Mushigo tense so I'm just
going to say Mushigo tense. What's the score range you're
going to give it? I feel I'm going to go with
three mushoku. Tensei out of three OK miles.
OK, so I think this is Mushoku Tensei paint.
I have a few ideas. The first thing I thought of
because you're doing it was Konosuba right, where you have
like a really horny main character.
But the but the eating thing, I just don't remember Cosmo being
obsessed with the the idea of eating.
He he's more like boobies and money than than eating.
The other thing I thought was something like High School DXD
where another thing for Konosuba is they talked about how good
the animation was, which makes me think something like Michelle
Coutin say, because like I mean, the code of Super's animation is
is fine, but I don't know, maybe this person is weird.
They also said like ED-12, right?
So to me that's a show that has like a different Ed basically
every fucking episode. I don't remember.
I mean, the only thing I can think about the top my head that
does that is like a Remo. I know there's things with lots
of different EDS so I thought like Bachmane got three or
something like that as an option but I don't.
I mean like surely he fucked but who knows.
He just doesn't like. You know, I know.
Watch the whole series. I could tell you.
Araghi has his issues, he just doesn't seem like this
particular brand pervert that they're talking about, but maybe
he is. But those are my thoughts.
Not bad thoughts. I think you're always, you know,
like you have an agenda, right, as we all do.
And for that reason, I'm going to go.
God does. I don't think Mono Katari has a
different Ed like every episode, though.
Ed 12. That's so many EDS.
This is how Pete knows what it is.
Pete knows what. It is.
I know he knows what it is. I have a.
Good idea of what it could be. I don't know what has 12 EDS.
I'm gonna, I'll say Moto Ghatari because I know it has several
EDS. It's not enough, but whatever.
And I'll say the score is a 3/4. Just want to let you know Moto
Gottri has an Ed for every season.
It doesn't switch non-stop. Does it not?
No it they just keep it pretty consistent throughout the arcs.
What am I thinking of? I mean, I know the O PS switched
from arc to arc. The O PS switch every arc, but
like Bachemonogatory did, it had the same Ed throughout.
Every episode Well, I don't know anything that switches that
would fit an action show that's like a different one each time.
Like off the top of my head at least.
So I mean unless like Bunny girl senpai No but that's not even 12
because they like change the. It's just like 5 different
versions. Yeah, it's not 12.
I don't. I don't know.
So, Pete, please tell us what this is, OK?
So if it's what I think it is. I have a question.
Are we allowed to change our
answers or No? No.
OK, Damn. I know what it is now.
That's right. I think I know what it is so you
can. Kind of.
You should have damned me, dude, Because I did not.
Yeah, you. Kind of get punished for going
first, but also. Yeah.
OK so if it's what I think it is I could be wrong, but knowing
Preston and what I think I know from the show, I think this
person just didn't interpret the show correctly and that's why
they think that the main character is like a pervert and
likes to eat a lot. And I don't think that's the
case. I just I don't know how that
person interpreted but I'm basing this off of a show that
has like a main character, a cool side character and a bunch
of E DS. So I'm going to say this is
Naruto and I'm going to go 34. Oh yeah, that's it.
That's a banger answer. It's completely wrong, but it's
a banger answer. So it we're your collective
minds are forgetting a very popular show that came out in
the past few years that it was a big deal.
It had a different EDF RE episode and had people like
Fondy, TK and just so many, just so many giant artists and it was
Chainsaw Man. Yeah, that's a yeah.
It's honestly a very fair review of Chainsaw Man.
Zero agenda was of mine was tied to this.
I just thought it was hilarious. No, I.
Think I was thinking like it was like like the cool one like they
would rather Sasuke be the main character instead of Naruto and
I think Naruto. The main character, the show
named after Naruto. They want Sasuke to be the main
character. Yeah, that was all good guesses,
but yeah, it's Chainsaw Man. And what were Miles and Tyler?
What were your scores that you gave it?
Yeah, none of you are going to fucking believe this.
I didn't try to bait you with this, but it just happened.
They gave it an 8 out of 10. Wow.
Yeah. This is back-to-back of us
scoring 0 points. I didn't.
I didn't want to trick you all into that, but when I read it I
had to just stick with it, even if the score makes a zero sense.
That's worse than any of my reviews where I'm like negative
about something and then give it a high score.
Like the only hint of it is that they thought after episode 5 it
got better and so that's my thinking of why it's an 8.
I'm sure they'll love the ending.
Yeah, they'll love the entire series for sure.
All right. Well, we're striking out, so
hopefully we can get some points with Tyler's review.
All right this is going to be a fantasy so TLDR it's a bad
boring show with bad visuals and I don't think it's worth wasting
time on. Watch food wars instead, that's
a much more entertaining show and has a much nicer looking
character designs story. It's like it's the kind show,
show, show kudo. I'm not sure.
I forget. I don't, I don't remember what
that is. I think it's like the the
cooking food. Cooking. 1.
I I think that's. Right.
The dough means cooking, so yeah.
This is one of those shows where everything is really forgettable
and it feels like nothing is going on.
It's been incredibly boring so far.
Far too much time is wasted on mundane things and the episodes
feel like they drag on forever. The show's comedy skits have all
have also failed to make me laugh even once.
I really regret watching the show.
Characters. None of the characters are
entertaining to watch. They hardly even feel like
characters. MC one is plain annoying and MC2
doesn't really have a personality besides being just
dumb visuals. The style looks very
unappealing. It doesn't look like cool like
an anime, it feels like it could be on Cartoon Network.
Character designs. A lot of the character designs
in the show look awful and have oversized noses which are gross.
This is one of the worst aspects of the show.
It feels like it's trying too hard to be different, and as a
consequence it's not putting enough consideration into trying
to look visually appealing. It fails to something basic that
most Japanese animation gets right.
Fantasy is good and takes advantage of the medium when it
beautifies things beyond beyond what is purely realistic.
Anime characters look beautiful because the attractive features
such as the eyes are enlarged, made more colorful and detailed,
whilst at the same time less emphasis is put on an
unattractive features like noses.
The series has not taken heed to that sensibility.
Music and OST. The soundtrack is lacking.
Not even one single track has sounded good and the OP isn't
any better. This may be the band's worst
performance ever. So that is it.
This me right, Yeah, OK, it's fantasy is the genre on yes.
So my first thought on this is but but two MCS.
My first thought was like delicious and dungeon.
I can see someone thinking those look like Cartoon Network
characters and it's but there's more than two main characters.
They have big noses though I haven't seen campfire cooking in
another world, which is like the other this general vibe.
Now I know you all love it so this could be like a fun like
meta call here, but I guess we all like Delicious and Dungeon
to varying degrees as well. Did anybody not like Delicious
and Dungeon? It's fine.
It's 8. I, I think they, I, I told you
about it, right. Like, I think it would be more
interesting if they got rid of. Yeah, it's.
Kind of crazy. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like I understand that take. I just, you know, for the same
reason I thought medalist Season 2 was, Middle East was It's
probably there. I just don't like it when people
explain things to me. You might be cooking.
So this this is yeah, I'm not cooking.
I I specifically don't like the cooking.
I'm going to I'm going to say just because I know what it is,
I'm going to say delicious dungeon.
And I'll say this is a, this is a 3/4 again, I just that that's
what I like, 3-4 all. Right.
Just just so people don't think I'm cheating, I wrote down
Dungeon Meshy 3/4 on my notebook.
I, I think I'm guessing that this reviewer dropped the show.
So it makes me think that they haven't been introduced into the
the entire cast. But I'm pretty sure Dungeon
Meshy has characters with big noses though.
I, I think it makes sense when when you have like kind of like
what you broke down if it's a fancy cooking show.
I think especially in this newer era that we're in, I think
there's two shows to pick from. Thomas will go dungeon meshy.
Yeah, 34. I'm just going to say it.
I'm a cheat that I forgot Dungeon Meshy existed.
So I'm going to cheat off of both of you because I do think
they actually they have Cartoon Network designs.
I I think that's a point where it's kind of similar.
And so and my other only other idea was panning stocking
because but there's no chance it's this if Shokugeki no Soma's
talked about and it can't be campfire cooking because there's
only one main character unless they're going to count fell as
one. So yeah, dungeon meshy one to
two. What we got, Tyler?
All right, so y'all got the dungeon meshy part right and it
was a four out of 10 yeah I almost thought about taking out
the food wars, but I I didn't so.
That's a good context. Yeah, yeah.
I feel like, I feel like it would have been like really,
really hard to get, you know, if I took it out.
Probably so. Hey, it helps the audience too,
so I'm. Sure.
They. Yeah, yeah.
OK, Miles, you're the last one for round one.
Great. We have the genre of there's,
I'm gonna say sports. There's, there's some other on
here that are just like, so generic and useless as genres
that are kind of funny. Yeah.
It's like, yeah, everyone knows this is a sports anime.
Looking past the hideous art style, I wanted to like the show
more than I actually do. I would have dropped it after
Episode 5 if it weren't for character.
My favorite character. He reappeared in Episode 8, so I
hung out until the end. But Episode 10 was the first
time I felt fun watching the show, and then the final episode
actually wrapped everything up nicely.
The show is about 40% sports and 60% character arcs, but the
pacing is slow. I essentially disliked half the
cast for the 1st 2/3 of the show.
Character and other character had the tightest narratives and
clear internal struggles. I understood what the show was
trying to say with the other characters, but I found logical
inconsistencies in their storytelling.
The payoff at the end took too long to arrive.
I didn't need 2 to 3 episodes worth of B roll and subplots,
including one chapter's weird incest romance.
I also didn't need to hear a side character remark for the
umpteenth time. That character was a blank
monster murder machine. I wish they showed that rather
than telling us over and over again.
Relationships are supposed to be a core theme, but the friends in
this show support each other less than their rivals did.
It was hard to understand the utter dearth of empathy between
the main character and his childhood friend.
I thought their falling out was not properly explained person
and their coach's relationship was also strange since they
weren't on the same same wavelength.
At least the soundtrack was. Oh wait, sorry, I have to
conclude this one. One gripe I have is the casual
racism character is frequently referred to as country they are
from. Not bit more correct term for
someone from that country, just the entire country.
His identity is part of his character.
Relevant, but I don't care for the offensive delivery.
There was also a stereotype about black people being good at
dancing. At least the soundtrack was
good, especially the electronic music.
The rough animation matches the unhinged art style.
I like the stylistic choices. What do we got?
I know what this is. Well, you're up so.
OK Oh God, is it though? Oh man.
I'm trying so hard to think about another show but I think
this is the only option I. I have, I have something in my
head, but like I don't remember the casual racism.
Where does the casual race? Oh my God.
OK, so. Remember, it can be wrong, very
wrong. I'm.
Gonna go with my heart. OK.
And it might be wrong, but hey, that's that.
Sometimes when you go first you get locked up and then some of
those things, it's like 45 seconds later after you say it's
like, oh, that's what it was. I must say this is just because
you did like the it's a sports, but it's maybe not sports.
I must say this is wand dance and I'm going to go one to two.
One to two, OK. Oh damn, that's a good guess
actually. Is there any black people in
Long? Games I don't remember.
There's. Just Neo.
There's just neo, dude. I like, I don't, I don't
remember, but it's like. I don't think there is.
I think that's a really good guess, but I don't think it's
right. God, I've.
What? Is I'm trying to racism, I'm
trying to met at this and think of like, would Miles choose a
show that he has never watched, but he loves the sport so much
that he would choose the show based off of it?
And I I'm just going to have to go with it 'cause I know that
there's a black person in this show and they are racist towards
this black person in this show. So I'm going to go with I shield
5140. 1. Or 21, whatever.
I knew I was going to get the number on.
I shield 21 is will be my guess, 'cause you kind of have to be
good at dancing if you're like a running back.
Like it helps, I guess. I don't fucking know.
Yeah, learn how to leap over people like Saquon.
So yeah, I shield 21-A1 out of two.
Tyler one, one or two. Yeah or yeah, one or two, yeah.
I don't I don't think I've like I've I've literally not watch
any dancing anime besides like Uma Musa May.
They don't really dance much. I didn't watch wand dance but
like that's a good answer. Are there any black Umas?
Yes. Well, based on based on Miles
reaction there, I don't, I don't think it's too much.
Yeah, I don't think it's too much right now.
I was. I was always going to pick that,
but I think I'm safe on that. And Cinderella Gray, there's
like a. There's.
Michelle, my baby. Yeah, yeah.
I don't see, I don't think. We see them dance.
Oh shit, I might have thought of another one.
God damn it, God damn it. I guess I mean, I, I have no
idea what Preston's talking about.
So I guess I'm gonna have to go wand, wand dance because like I
literally don't know of any other dancing.
So it like it's a sports, sports kind of anime, but they have
dancing and there's like a lot of different like nationalities
in it. And like, no way.
No, no, I don't. I don't think there is any OK
wand dance. What's your score?
I almost said medalist for a minute, but I don't think that's
right. What's what's your score on wand
dance do you think? Let's go for 55.
OK, bam. Galaxy, do you have what?
What is your your new thought? You mean Preston?
I thought for I thought I met at it again and my brain, I was
like, there is one sports show he would mention that it's
Birdie Wing just because he has an agenda against the ending.
I do, however this is a show I I I love.
This is ping pong. God damn it, that's right.
Yep. So I want a quick question, do
all the does Wandans have a pseudo incestuous relationship?
Oh my God, that couple. Oh, it's the cousin.
The cousin? Yeah, it's the cousins.
I I I I do I So I just thought to think about the fact that
they mentioned dancing is like, what threw you off, Pete?
But I only thought about that as opposed to this that is a sports
anime when Tyler was talking about it, so I couldn't bring up
like that doesn't mean that the show is about dancing.
If I hyper focused on incest and sports I could have easily
figured out it was. Yeah, and they call Kong China.
Yup, Yup, Yup, they do. And then that, you know, they
said they like liked the rough animation, like in the unhinged
art style and everything. So to me that says not one dance
'cause like, I don't know if you could like that part.
Anyways, it was awesome. That's why I took I shield 21
'cause it's old. It's also, but it is a four out
of 10. So again, I think wow, we we
again zero point at that low score.
I thought that was going to be a pretty easy one, but I I.
In hindsight, very easy. But you know what?
Sometimes that's why we play 2 rounds.
That's why we play 2. Rounds we make up so we don't
have a a three-point tie, exactly.
If my next review is way easier than my first, I guarantee you
somebody will get this right. But before we get into round
two, let's go over the scores for round one.
Me and Miles are in a unprecedented lead right now.
We have 3 points. We're killing it.
My or Preston just behind with one and Tyler you're at 0, but
literally you can come back at any second.
The the lead is not large at all.
So let's dive into round two and hopefully we can score some more
pull. OK, my genre.
Actually I must say my genre afterwards because this is more
of a joke one, but you'll figure it out.
Boobs so many boobs and cheeks. REDACTED is annoying.
Redacted is a lolly and I fucking hate her and I hate her
nonchalant ass behavior. REDACTED yeah she's got boobs.
Redacted Ara ara, the MC is the goat.
Redacted he's just gay. He's the best and this is the
best guy of all time Season 2. More boobs, more cheeks.
I hate redacted but again the MC is the re goat and redacted is
still annoying and redacted is still gay.
Season 3 got caught watching by my mom and received a month long
anime band. I honestly enjoyed watching this
anime. This in prison school turned me
into a man of culture. I started to appreciate that, to
appreciate the art of jiggle physics and anime boobs.
The genre is boobs. Gentlemen.
What is this show and what did you score it?
That's fucked up. I actually need a genre because
I don't know what the fuck this is I have. 2 possibilities.
It's probably a romance. I would put it as like harem
action. Cool, I have the same 2
possibilities. Harem action, yeah, and.
In case the missing boobs 100 times in giveaway, it's also an
echi. Thank you.
Yes, yes. Yes, that helps a lot more
contacts. Why do I have to go first for
this one? I don't watch this shit.
Damn. Yeah, you do.
Just don't put it on your. Mouth.
No I don't. I haven't seen shows like
fucking Dragon Maid or this. What?
Don't want don't want Dragon mate into with this show.
I will. When all you say is boobs and
ass, I'm going to think dragon Mate and Lolly.
You're so right. Thank you Miles for that.
There's I have seen Quetzalcoatl.
You seen him? Yes, I have seen stills of it.
Whenever you look her up, it's right there.
I think something else is right there.
No, all right. No, she still has giant tits.
Yes, that's correct. But they all have giant tits.
Three seasons. Yes.
I I I realized that when you said action.
Well that also has fighting actually.
Can't be rented girlfriend. That's good, good to know.
Off of action. The only one I can think of is
that you would think is really easy and would have all those
physics is high school DXD. It might be entirely wrong, I
don't know, I've never seen that.
But I remembered there's the lolly cat girl in it and they
say it's the greatest show ever and then they say it's shit, so
fuck it. I don't think they ever do that
shit. Or they.
Said a character was or some shit.
Oh, you might be right. OK, we're hard locking 10 out of
10 sounds. Good.
Yeah, they watched 3. Seasons so I also like the first
thing that come to mind was high school DXC, but I'm just not
sure if it has three seasons or not.
Like, I'm not like cultured like that.
It has five I believe. Does it does it have five?
OK, yeah, I'm locking in high school DXC then.
I only thought it had two, but maybe that's high school to dead
or whatever or whatever the hell it is.
Yeah, so. DXD also has like Reborn, it has
so many. Yeah, so I'm, I'm locking in DXD
then I, I feel like that that was I, I need to learn from the
past and just go with my first gut.
You know, I would have got made in biz Fried if I did that.
And I think I'm going to give it an 8.
Yeah. Miles.
OK so my only problem with high school DXD is who who is gay?
The main character, the dude. No, they think he says the goat.
He says the goat in this Oh. Fuck yeah God damn it, the MC.
Is the goat. The.
MC is the. GOAT.
Maybe they maybe they think it did.
Maybe in their eyes the MC is someone else you know?
They're gonna call Eminence to shadow this garbage?
Oh my God. There's not no, we don't have
three seasons of that. And also the I assume they would
be calling gay, right? Conoco or whatever her name is
would be the Lolly. And then like obviously Risa and
Akano, what's her name? Black haired 1 Akano have the
bazongas and then priestess girl whose name I forget.
Asia. I'll see you.
Yeah, he's that doesn't make any three seasons and so he has like
a friend. That friend doesn't really like
matter. Another thing I thought about
was one though the lolly is also annoying.
This is important information. So I was thinking like this
could be like. Vamp Rosario, Vampire which is
similar. Yes.
It's basically you have like the same cast as High School DXD
except for you also have the werewolf guy who plays more
prominent role than like Oh no, it's I forgot about him because
of how asexual he is. That's why they're calling him
gay. It's it's high school DXTI
forget that his name and he does nothing.
But he I was right. You scared weed.
I'm gonna say yeah, no, I literally forgot about the
character because he is. He's not gay.
He's asexual. He is completely.
They made sure that no one would be threatened by the presence of
this man. As far as shipping, you say and
whatever. I can't remember his name.
He's kind of cool though. But like, he has no sexual
desire at all. He was perfectly in a lab not to
be threatening to anyone who wanted to get with any of the
high school DXT girls. I don't know why they don't
include Asia in this, but they don't.
I'm gonna say high school DXT. I'll say 910. 910 All right,
well you are correct. They're referring to the Knight
of high school DXT Utah as gay. Yeah.
So the correct answer was High School DXD and the score was a
10 so. President, let's go.
President gets. 4 miles gets, 3 Tyler gets.
One OK, that was I, I just forgot that guy existed.
I like that. Like, like as soon as you
remember, he's like, no, it's this show.
Yep. And you were done.
Yeah. I was about to help you and be
like Rosario. Vampire only has two seasons.
Oh yeah, I even thought about that to myself.
I also thought like maybe it would be monogatery because
what's her name is gay. Khan, Bardu.
Yeah. That's she is gay, that is true.
And there is a lolly so. There's multiple.
Yeah, there's there's. Four.
And there's jiggle physics. And there is jiggle physics.
Oh my God, it really is just monogatery it.
Is and there's 2 girls with bazongas so.
Yeah. All right, well.
But sometimes more than two whenever Shinobu is an adult.
Drew Preston, you're up back. OK great, OK the genre for this
show is just comedy. I love this anime, no shame in
saying it. If you're into fan service heavy
shows that also toss in a bit of mystery and weird transformation
stuff, this is an absolute gem. Let's start with the obvious,
the fanservice. It's amazing.
Each scene is like it was crafted by a true man of
culture. Super erotic and suggestive, but
never actually crossing the line into being too much.
Just peak perfection. The way each girl gets her
spotlight moment, chef's kiss. These girls are straight up
goddesses. Every one of them oozes appeal,
personality, and that perfect teasing vibe.
Sure, the art isn't top tier and at times you can tell the
animation had budget limits, but honestly I was too busy
appreciating the camera angles to care that much.
What surprised me was the story. For a show that looks like it's
just here for the lewd vibes, the plot actually pulled me in.
You wake up with 0 idea how or why it happened, why it
happened, and you're suddenly in your crushes house.
You're just as clueless as the main character and that mystery
element keeps you watching. It has just enough intrigue to
balance out the spice. My only real complaint?
The episode length? 10 to 15 minutes, Come on,
that's not nearly enough. Right?
When you're getting into the good stuff, the episode ends.
It definitely deserves full length 24 minute episodes.
If you like Echi done well with some fun story hooks and top
tier waifus, give it a shot. I seriously hope we get a second
season. There's so much potential to
explore, and that is the end of this review.
And so I was pretty sure I had it until you said when a crush
wakes, when you're, when you wake up in your crush's room or
whatever. And then that just like what
was. Was that?
I thought it was like when you're when you wake up and your
son's leaving your crush's room or something.
What? Nothing.
I'll reread it. I'll reread it because I did
stumble on it. You wake up with 0 idea how or
why it happened and you're suddenly in your crush's house.
I thought your son was in your crutches house and I was like,
what is happening? So like I I literally don't
watch hardly any etchy first. Like first I would like I I was
going to lock in chain soldier 100% but I haven't seen chain
soldier like maybe 1 episode and I'm pretty sure that just don't
sound right. That don't sound right for chain
soldier, but like I, I'm not a, I'm not a itchy connoisseur.
So like, I don't really know what else I could pick besides
chain soldier. But like there's like, but you,
you also said transformations. I've I'm pretty sure chain
soldier has transformations in them.
Some I think they transformed some or some shit.
I I don't know. You would be correct if they do
transform. So I guess for lack of better
options because I just literally don't know any other Etsy shows,
maybe maybe something happens later on and and you know, he is
talking about waking up in his crushers room or some shit.
You know who knows. That's how I'm going to go with
that. And by the way, they just glazed
it. I'm going to go with 1010 baby.
Good, good guess on the score there.
Is Chance soldier short? No.
OK. Oh shit, damn.
Well, let me tell you, all that helps me do is not copy you,
Yeah. I'm pretty sure you're in the
same boat as I am though. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
It's over. It's over.
OK. I mean, OK, so I know it's like
a short form ecchi. Oh my God, it's weird.
Is it is it the dog one Inukai's dog?
I don't know what that you know what that do we understand what
I'm talking about? I know that's a.
Inukohi San's dog, yes. OK, he transforms in there and
he could mysteriously wake up in that that room.
So that's going to be my guess. It's going to be the that dog
one and then I'm going to. Say, but I thought, I thought he
said that the the the girls transformed.
Oh, maybe the girls transformed, man, I don't know.
I don't know what the show is. I have no fucking clue.
OK, I thought of an etchy that involves transforming.
That's a short. That's what I got.
It's my best guess. What's your score for this?
Guest. They did seem to like it.
I'll say 910. OK, Inkai Sandstock 910 Pete.
OK, just so just so I'm not copying miles, I'm I'm a hold up
to the camera. I wrote dog fucker.
I I would not have accepted that and.
A nine out of 10, so yeah. And.
You they do not fuck the dog, yeah, but you they do not.
It's. The dog fucking anime Let's.
Be close enough. Yeah, if I say dog fucking
anime, you know what I'm talking about.
I thought it was Interspecies Reviewers until you said shorts
and I'm pretty sure that's a normal link.
It is. I just, I was like, I was trying
to just go through like etchy short form, whatever.
It's like, are we lost? Au Chan can't study Miru tights
and I'm pretty sure the Dog 1 though.
Antarua. Oh yeah, and that senpai one,
There's a couple because like the the magical it's, there's no
way it's magical senpai. But if it was like wonder for
this freaking, I'm going to go with the dog, Inusan's dog, and
we'll go 910. Hey 2 Inu Kaisan's dog 9:10 and
then a trained soldier 10. I will say I can tell you that
it is Inu Kaisan's dog. Ain't no way.
Did you say the girls transform? No, I just said body.
Transformations. I can't believe my brain from
the recesses of my knowledge, remember that show.
I thought Pi thought P only had a chance at getting that shit.
And two was a. Short.
Yeah, it was a short, and the score for it was 9 out of 10.
Tyler barely misses out. There's no way this dude riding
this this this this review does not think that that's at the end
I. Didn't know it's a nine attempt
because it's a short they. Wanted full length.
Damn, that's tragic. I was going to say the the the
one drop of shame they had left in their body can't get his.
Head out of moral. All right, Tyler, you're up with
your last one. OK so this is going to be a
romance. Honestly I didn't expect this
show to be this good. Definitely my new favorite,
better than berserk. Whoever wrote this story is a
real master. Those characters are the best
ones I've ever seen. Their writing is flawless and
the plot is perfect. The story is very unique.
I've never seen something similar.
It surprised me in every episode and its deepness is amazing.
The characters are, as I said earlier, amazingly written and
very human and complex. All of them have a perfect
development and deepening. I think this is actually the
best fictional story I've ever had the pleasure to experience.
The only thing that I consider that would could make people
dislike this show is that it's very deep and complex and
everyone who throws hate to it are people who didn't get the
real point of the story. It's hard to understand but if
you do it's a really a life changing experience.
I don't see the world the same way I did before I watched this
anime. The end.
There's no way it's not this show.
Really I have. I have no idea.
Why? I have no idea.
I have no. Idea.
Oh, I have. I have something just.
Locked. It's it's a romance.
OK, I'm just trying to think of a show, a romance that people
think is complex and different and unique.
When on the surface or like when you actually dive into it, it's
really not that. My first thought was that this
was solo leveling because I just kept on the oh shit meaning
about solo leveling and I like couldn't get that out of my
mind, no. I would have said action
probably if yeah. Yeah, I know, I know, I know.
It's not solo. I hope you wouldn't say romance
for that shit. I mean, it does have some
romantic elements, right? Sort.
Of when the sister is like, yeah, his sister, yeah fuck a
romance that everyone thinks is really deep but like, some
people might not like it 'cause it's too complex.
Which is funny guys. Still, you have to find a
romance that is super complex. It's lot changing.
It's not. It's generally not like that
'cause you just sort of, you know, you like someone, you know
they want you back. Yeah, like even something like
Gagiosama, which is meant to be incredibly over the top and it's
like, you know, it's like a parody of all of it.
Isn't that complex? Like it's OK, I have no idea.
I'm just trying to think, you know what I'm going to say it is
I'm going to say because I I have to take Betta stuff into
account here with how we are as a podcast and Oh my God, I can't
remember the name of the anime. It has little guy and tall model
girl with big boobies. Dangers in my heart.
Yes, I'm gonna say this is Dangers in my Heart.
Specifically, season 2, which we have learned is the best romance
anime of the last decade thanks to that one commenter who got
mad that we didn't review. Metalhead otaku was that thing.
Where we specifically weren't reviewing sequels.
That. Was four years ago and I still
bring it up. Yeah, well, 'cause I mean, you
know, we did say we weren't reviewing sequels and then, you
know, we got a scathing review about how we didn't review a
sequel. Also, we would not have given it
Romance of the Decade. I gave it a date, I'm pretty
sure. Romance of the Season.
Maybe, maybe I don't. I don't know what else came out
that I. Think it was.
I think it actually was. But I'm going to say it's that
because that I mean, I have nothing to grok onto.
And then I'm going to say it's a 10 because if this person they.
Didn't give this a tad. I will freak out.
I understand that. I'm probably going to hear them
give it a nine at the end of this and I will jump out of my
window. But you can't write this and not
give it a 10. It can't be like, oh, it's, it's
better than Berserk. There's also like, I feel like
people who are really like Berserk would sort of attach to
and see themselves in the main character of dangers in my
heart. I think that's really oh.
No, Oh no, for the. Audio listeners I could change.
In my head. No.
Did I just say that to annoy them?
Yes. Yeah, you probably.
Did that. OK, so you're saying dangers in
my heart in a 10? Yeah, Season 2, Season 2
specific, Season 2 we should. Just keep adding like bonus
points where it's like OK can. You guess.
Which season? This was the extra person.
OK, I'm thinking the same line of thinking of Miles, but I'm
surprised you didn't say this show.
I'm also saying at 10, but when I think of people who think of
like deep and complex romance animes that are not actually
deep and complex, I think of this show and I think of you
Miles. I'm going Bunny girl senpai.
Oh, OK. Yeah, that's 10.
Oh, how many characters were mentioned in that review?
That's a good one. None.
None at Guinea, Yeah, I don't think they talked about
characters. Well, yeah, I hope it it's not.
Funny Girls on π but it was worth it for how funny it was.
Yeah, so I instantly thought dangers in my heart and so I'm
not going to pull what I did with me and Abyss where I forgot
about it and picked some other bullshit.
I'm going dangers in my heart and it's a 10 and I will live
and die by that. All right, Tyler, what's the
result? So it was a 10 out of 10 and
everyone got the show wrong. Oh my God, I thought.
I thought about that. I did think about that, but I
decided that this person was being earnest.
Yeah, he. He he was probably, you know,
but he's wrong. That sounds like they were
talking about Kyo that entire time.
Oh my God, it's, well, it's tough because like, I wanted to
pick something that someone could reasonably think about a
show. You know what I mean?
If like Dangers of Your Heart is like your first romance
animation. People that generally had those
types of feelings about dangers in my heart.
Yeah, And so like I wanted to go with that like someone, but I
think this hat, I mean, this has to be a meme.
And it's a funny meme. I think it's.
That's an incredible meme. But that is, I mean, I I just
can't see anyone doing that. But maybe they don't know.
What are we at into the last one.
If you get this all correct, Pete, it's a we tie is that.
I'm pretty sure Preston is winning.
But no, I'm losing. Miles is winning.
I'll run it up later. I'll I'll do it while.
Miles should have 7 points, I should have 6 points.
We'll figure it out. I think I only got.
One, I should have a whole extra point cause oh you should too
though 'cause we guessed 10 specifically.
Oh yeah, then yeah, 8:00 and 7:00.
Some reviews are opinions, Some reviews are warning signs.
This is a warning sign telling you not to waste your time.
I have a lot of complaints, but the problem is actually
something very fundamental. This anime doesn't have one
positive thing to capture the audience.
The setting is boring, the characters are boring, the plot
is boring. No comedy, no romance, no Yuri
at all, no fanservice either and instead things just get more and
more annoying. The show is basically a teenage
drama by the way. The genre is drama and girls
love. Oh shit, OK.
Just to let you guys know, as it is said both of these things in
this review, Yeah, the Yuri. Thing got me.
And most of the drama is derived from forced misunderstandings.
I shall give you 2 examples. MC talking about a friend with
some other classmates and the friend overhearing the
conversation at just the wrong time, misunderstanding the
intention to not knowing the context of the conversation.
And two MC talking outside a dress changing booth thinking
it's her friend inside. It's not drama again, this is
how anime used to be during 2010 to be honest.
And I hated them continuously screaming at the monitor telling
the characters to just talk to each other and resolve all this
bullshit in 2 minutes instead of stretching the emotional circus
for three episodes. The characters are shallow and I
guess the only personality they ever have is probably their
quote UN quote past trauma. Honestly I have no idea how I
watched this for 4 episodes without fast forwarding.
Thinking back, every single minute of this anime was sad
cringe, pretending to be some deep reflection on trust issues.
That is it, Pete. What do we got?
Wow, that would have to go off of them.
OK, so I did the math I described.
Two scenes from the. Yeah, I was going to go.
It's based off of a show that I've watched that I just forgot
everything, but I'm losing my three points, so I'm going to go
for the win. I'm going to say Yuri is my job
and a three. OK.
That's a good guess. OK could you read Just reread
the 20 tens line. I just want to know how it was
read. This is how anime used to be
during 2010. OK, OK, OK, OK that I just need
that wording drama Yuri talking to and then dress the dressing
room bit did Yuri. I yeah, I just have to go with
Yuri as my job because that's the only one that I think fits
that because I don't think this monster wants to eat me.
Has a dressing room scene. And so yeah, Yuri is my job.
1:00 to 2:00. OK.
Can you can you repeat the two scenes?
Yeah, MC talking about a friend with some other classmates and
the friend overhearing the conversation in just the wrong
time and misunderstanding the intention due to not knowing the
context of the conversation. And two MC talking outside a
dress changing booth thinking it's her friend inside and well,
it's not drama again. So I don't remember the dressing
room theme but but Yuri is my job.
Did have the friend talking in the classroom or whatever so I'm
pretty sure it is. Yuri is my job because Miles
made me watch that. Yeah, yeah.
But I don't remember a dressing room scene that might happen
like in another season or some shit, I don't know.
If only only. I actually remember that scene
now. What the the classroom?
The dressing room scene, I remember it.
I don't, I don't remember that one, but I do, I do remember the
because I, I thought that was one of the bullshit.
That's one of the things I didn't like.
But anyways, I'm gonna go with. I'm gonna go with three.
Oh OK, got the same guess. OK, yeah, so it it is Yuri is my
job. My God.
And it is a 2. Let's go, let's go, let's go.
I almost would you have beat me. Oh, we have a tie breaker.
Oh. That yeah.
Or Preston. You tied Miles with that?
So his three points tied me. Yeah.
Oh, he did. He did a race.
He did 1-2. Oh, yeah, like you lost.
Yeah. How was I?
How was I down by that many points?
You scored one point in the first round and then you scored
eight points in the second. So you finished with 9 and miles
finished with 10. The miles, you're the winner.
I think this is my first time winning this by the way way to.
Go. I finished with eight and Tyler,
you got 2. I would have got a whole lot
more if I didn't love gambling so.
Hey, I love it. I love it.
Well Miles, congratulations, you won for the first after 10 times
of playing this game. Yeah, it it first or second, but
I don't remember winning ever so.
In a minute, if you have so, do you have any words to your
adoring fan that you want to say?
Mom. Mom, love it.
Love it. Well, I mean, that was the Miami
List review game that was super fun.
I really liked what we brought to the table this time.
It was a nice mix of funny and challenging and hopefully the
audience enjoyed it. So if you are out there and
listening and you play along, let us know how many points you
scored. I will give you a thumbs up if
you did better than me. I'll give you a thumbs down if
you did worse than me. I'm just kidding.
But dude, do let us know whether it's in like our YouTube
comments, Spotify comments, Discord, whatever.
Let us know. We love to hear your guys's
thoughts. Tyler, thank you so much for
joining. I appreciate it.
Links to Tyler's podcast will be in the description below.
But on behalf of everybody who played, I want to say thank you
so much for taking time to listen, and we will see you next
time. Bye, bye, bye.
