Hello everybody and welcome to. What do you say anime?
I'm your host Peter joining me on today's episode.
We have cat hasn't Pat. Now in today's episode.
We will be reviewing actually will be giving our first
impressions / kind of reviewing. On 11 shows currently airing
from the fall. 2020 preview will be doing a little thing.
Different. We're not going to be doing like
the big popular shows like Haiku or Jiu-Jitsu Kaizen since
everybody's already watching them already and then we're not
going to be doing a show like Oh, you know it regular at Magic
High School because you probably shouldn't be watching that show.
So we're I'll be skipping that. So, yeah, so 11 different shows.
If you're looking for a specific show, on our first impression
links in the description below for the timestamps on that show.
So first, we'll jump right into our show that all four of us are
watching and as the Journey of Elena the wandering, which this
show is currently airing on FUNimation only, I believe and
it's a venture story of a witch who is just Out of like her
apprenticeship apprenticeship and is traveling the world.
So if you are a fan of these types of shows that our world
building in terms of who knows what this magical world, filled
with witches and like Wizards and curses and stuff like that.
We see that in early episodes. If you're a fan of like that
like Harry Potter, S-Type a show.
This is the type of show for you so far through four episodes, I
believe, if I'm not mistaken. We've been kind of like a
whirlwind of emotions in terms of So, I thought this is gonna
be like a comedy, Slice of Life, and then we get some heavy drama
and then we get some really good action.
So My first impression so far as if you're in that type of show,
man, this is this is a really like out of nowhere type of
shell for me because I thought the show was kind of go suck.
But how about Pat you? Give me your first impressions
on the Journey of Elena. Yes.
This is the only show that going into the season that I'm
watching now that I didn't expect to be watching.
I heard some really good things about the first few episodes and
tuned in. You know, I was not a well grown
up eyes. Big Harry Potter kid, but never
like ballooned into Childhood, you know, like Star Wars did for
me or anime, but I still enjoy this show a lot.
Like the, the way they do the Witchcraft and and the I like
you said, the action has been really good so far too.
I think, I think most people would enjoy the show that.
Yeah, like you said, it has the slice of life, but also has the
drama in it as well. And I enjoy that.
The thing that I think has me hooked the most other than Elena
herself and like the art as well, just being really pretty
and comfortable. Is the is the journey.
It's a, it's the telling of a story and they reference Nike
who depending on what Greek mythology.
You read it changes, but she's the goddess of victory in some
Greek mythology, but then there's also the Journey of Nike
and her it's similar to like the Odyssey and that, that to me
hooked me because I love mythology.
I love history, let stuff like that.
So I'm curious to see how they turn her Quest into or how they
tell. The charity of Elena, which sure
to Tula the title of the show. Is this a must watch considered?
Oh, right. Sorry.
Yeah. Um, I know it's not it's
definitely not a must watch unless you're unless this just
takes all of your boxes off, but I would consider it like again,
I'm going to keep watching it. It's not something.
I don't see my I also see myself dropping this unless it
completely turns around or for some reason but it won't so cat.
How about your first impressions of the Journey of Elena?
So I'm a lot like, you Pete, when I, when I first watched it,
I was like, I was so excited because I was like, oh, I'm
gonna see a fucking Slice of Life in the First episodes,
like, okay. Well, now we get some melodrama
and then that turned into action and I was like, what the fuck is
going on here, really? And, and then, like the rest of
it, to be honest. Mine is going to be a little bit
different than the. My first impression is going to
be a little Different than the then the Harry Potter like
comparisons. Mine is more like it's kind of
like Mother Goose Grim. Like the actual story is not the
defied. Everything is okay.
Story is no, we're talking about the actual like the shit that
teaches you shit that you need to know instead of shit that we
want to be idealistic. Like it's actually teaching you
the shit that teaching shit that goes on.
It's just that like in a more witchy way.
And to be honest, it's just a very it's a very like, it's very
fun show to watch but at the same time like it's not
something that you can really, you can kind of turn your brain
off, do it. But you want enjoy as much.
Let's put it that way. So where were you must?
Watch consider it? I I'm kind of with Pat.
I wouldn't say that. It's a must watch.
I'd say that a lot of I would really like it but they're a
small subset of people that would genuinely that would
dislike it and I think that and because of that I think there
should be a little bit of like it's considerate.
But it's a high considerate as shown in bro would hate this
show. Like they would, they would they
would be tough. So zoned out.
They wouldn't know what to do with all this high-class stuff
that's going on in the show. So, you know, yeah.
Yeah, of course, one last note. I Not to mention.
I always like to look at what Studios doing a show to this is
being done by c 2 c, not a studio.
I'm very familiar with and when I look at their anime list, the
only shows ahead of the show in terms of like knowledge is
Hattori Bochy. They did this shut that show and
then they did that at will you be there at the end of the world
for me or something like that? I have the World's End.
Yeah. Thank you.
That those are the only other shows on the list that I at
least recognize so I thought I'd just something interesting.
So if you liked either those shows you, you might think.
Yeah, facing off at Horry. Bolshie.
I love that show. So, yeah.
Yeah, it's a little different vibe than Hattori, Bochy, but
it's like the same studio. So if you like that, show should
watch this. For sure.
Has your first impressions on the Journey of Elena.
Jenny and leave it on the Journey of Atlantis.
I love it much like Pat. I didn't really grow up into the
Harry Potter thing. Also, just wasn't what I was
exposed to. I was a Sci-Fi guy, loves Star
Wars a lot of my first anime, like the 101st angel, or like
cyberpunk sci fi MEK shit, but this definitely is like
everything I kind of like, about fantasy.
It's not the way I would describe it is, if little witch
Academia kind of took itself a lot more seriously?
And instead of being so light-hearted about it and it
works, it works really well. And what I will say is that if
you're someone like me, who has a really bad time, keeping up
with seasonals because you have three battle passes, you feel
obligated to complete because you already spent on each of
them and your broken, your making no income.
So this is an investment. Yes.
Sorry.
I just kind of got triggered thinking about it.
Oh, this is a show that I think is a must watch for people like
me who just aren't good at keeping almost seasonals and
want something. Because I feel like each
episode. There's a message and it's
satisfying by the end of the like the first episode could be
an anime and of itself. A, my opinion, like the entire
Arc of that episode. You can stretch out in the 12
episodes and I think each episode is just like you pick it
up, you watch it. You're satisfied by the end and
then you move on with your day. And if you forget that, you
know, you have to watch the next episode next week on Wednesday.
It's fine. So I'm going to put it as a
moustache for that. Otherwise, I agree like pick it
up. If you're interested in fantasy
or if you Something with like a message because I think it is
pretty good at invoking, a motion.
I got a little like heart tug at the end of the first episode.
Oh, yeah. I was like, wow.
This this got really quickly to my heart and I really feel
things because I'm 19 and depressed.
There's that does for my first impression.
No, it definitely. I thought the newest episode.
It kind of hits you in different ways.
We're how hit you episode 1 is hitting you different on episode
4, so I feel like each a Episode kind of does a good job at like
telling a different type of story.
And so far. This is for me.
It's borderline. Like, must watch /, consider it.
But for right now, I'm just putting it.
I consider it. But this is one of the maybe
like top five shows in this season.
I'd put it at. I think it can go up.
I don't see it going down. That's the way I would best
describe it as, like, in terms of like, it's always going to be
inconsiderate even if it just rides the capacity that it's
currently on. I don't see it becoming like
droppable or something, but I but it could if it continues.
Be good. Turn into a must-watch show by
the end of the season. I get that.
Okay, so that's three considerate and one must watch
for Journey of Elena wandering which next on the list is
akadama drive. All boy.
I've been waiting for the talk about this one.
I must say it straight up. This is a must watch for me.
I think this has an army of the Year written all over it.
Highly. This is Anime this season for me
like by a mile. I was absolutely blown away.
I still think we're being lied to Choose that says studio.
Pierrot is doing the animation for it.
And I don't believe that there's no way studio.
Pierrot is doing the animation for this because it's so clean.
It's so Chris. It's amazing.
Naruto was clean. Come on.
Give me some credit, grade art, O is for what it is.
Is fine. It's not like the it's not
breathtaking animation. Naruto is not front.
Again. This is like fights were the
faces. This is like anime like
animation of the year. It's not valid that regard, but
like, it's everyone's talking about how good Jiu-Jitsu Kaizen.
The mission is the season. I think this is better than
Jiu-Jitsu Kaizen in terms of Animation.
I'm blown away by this series It's a combination of Ocean's
Eleven and cyberpunk. It's our sorry cyberpunk Ocean's
Eleven and Suicide Squad. So we have like this group of
like villains all together doing missions essentially for like
this. Cyborg cat.
And it's just a whole bunch of nonsense, whether it's
ridiculous, comedy over-the-top action, insane visuals with a
cyberpunk like that. 2077 cyberpunk sure that we got going
on. I love this show.
So much must watch as soon as it's Thursday.
As soon as it's my lunch break. I'm watching.
Akadama drive. I love akadama drives so much an
absolute must watch cat your first impressions on Aqua
Diamond drive. So my first impressions of
akadama Drive have been a lot of like first when you first
started talking about akadama drive because I wasn't really
planning on watching it. You said it was better than
Toreador. Oh, I don't believe that.
I am not of the same opinion, but it is really good.
I am close to the same opinion wears like close to anime of the
animated the season, but I'm a little bit.
I'm leaning a little bit more towards journey of Elena to
being something like that if it gets better, but the thing is, I
could have a drive is a lot of what you just just described
except for Suicide Squad if it was better, like if it actually
had, you know, more interesting characters a good guy says.
Yeah exactly. There you go.
I don't get, don't do a side squat hate.
I love that movie. Maybe that's because I didn't
grow up on that stuff. But okay.
Sorry. That's a different topic.
I'm sorry. Yeah, has just Slither Slither
fide his stance on how he views stuff.
So if you agree with Pat, I think most people are going this
year. Say it in the comments.
I mean, again, I get why it's hated, but I enjoyed it because
I didn't care about the characters at all going into it
and maybe that's why I liked it. So goddamn, sorry to interrupt.
But um, yeah. So akadama drive is it has a
fucking crazy fucking crazy. Art style a lot.
Not a lot, like Duro, he wrote, but it's one of those art styles
where the CGI doesn't clash with the Handwritten, absolutely.
No like Italy and that is hard to do.
Well, yeah, it's kind of hard to do and the thing is to find an
art style like that and then put it out as where it's just
seamless is amazing. And and just to do that instead
of Joe just going full, CGI is Honestly, I don't know which one
is harder because, you know, I do mate.
Like it's just this is really interesting and the story is the
story actually keeps me wanting more but the thing is like it's
it's not at the point where I'd be like, okay, hands down.
This is the, this is the best one of the season.
This is best one of the year. Will hold Dorita row as best one
of the year. And I think there are other
shows that are better than this in this.
The better than this, that can be better than this in this
season. I don't want to call it that
early, but I will say that this is a will say that this is a
considerate. I'd say consider it.
If you if you really like Baccano or 91 days things like
that just get, just that kind of like interesting type of Of like
we've been thrust into this situation and now we got to
figure out what's going on. And now we're going to figure
out how all of this connects like, I feel like that that
that's how the show works. But it's a very high
considerate. All right, has your first
impressions? Pete has great opinions.
Not dick-sucking here, here, if you want.
I mean, you know what? Anyways, he company?
Yeah, or aren't. We're turning up.
He told me to watch this. I wasn't watching it.
I wasn't going to and I'm watching it and it's amazing
because it's the ocean 11 reference.
It's Ocean's Eleven. As an anime and it's an entire
the entire series. I'm calling it.
Now is just a JoJo's reference. It's it's all a JoJo's
reference. There's a lot of love it.
There's a lot of fucking JoJo reverences in it.
Okay. The characters are great.
Every one of them. I don't hate any of them, which
is amazing because there are at least like what there's seven in
the main group and you have like three antagonist so far or maybe
more Great shit, the dynamic between them is amazing.
Dialogue is amazing. The art style is a little
vaporwave for makes me a little cringe because I'm not because
it's bad just reminds me of leafy.
Anything that reminds me of leafy makes me cringe, but it's
it's so good. It's so well done like and it's
one of those things that we're going to bring this up a later.
I think me and P or it's like this is balls to the wall shit.
But this is taking full advantage of it being an enemy.
Yep. It's you're not getting this
anywhere else. This is Anime shit.
And if you just want some real animation shit in a Sci-Fi
cyberpunk world. You should buy, this is a must
watch for me. Damn, right?
All right, so that's passed out watching us lots or not.
No not yet. Maybe maybe later if it
continues to impress you guys. I might like I honestly had no
idea either going in. You guys have kind of sold me on
it with the I actually like vaporwave stuff.
I think that stuff's cool. And then I don't know again.
Like it's the, the Crossovers are the shows that you brought
up to compare it to our shows. I like, so may I might tune in
later in the season and budget or something, but that's too
much watches and 1/4. Go ahead cat.
So I also wanted to add this end.
So we also just a small note that every episode is named
after an action movie, just kind of, that's kind.
Kind of this kind of funny. And also Pat you would really
really like it because it's kind of like the first three episodes
of Sao. If the if it didn't just go
balls to the wall, all the really weird comparison.
I would compare it to like the same.
It's violently action. The same way.
MK 11 is violently 80s action star.
Yeah, it's it's Well, cat said really like a good comparison.
If you watched it from this year door.
Oh, hey Toro. It's like a cyberpunk door.
Oh, hey Tyrell. Where it's like, visually
stunning. But like it's also like overly
the top over the top like gruesome in some spots.
But then to sometimes it's just like beautiful animation while
they're riding a train and just like, holy shit.
Like this is incredible. So it's a combination of a lot
of things Sao. I don't think that's one of
them. He's just trying to sell it on
me because like, yeah, Must watch like yeah, so yeah, so
yeah, I gotta probably check it out.
Yeah, to my swatches and I consider it for akadama drive
up. Next is our first rom-com of the
Season. We got Tony, Kaku Fly Me to the
Moon, Tony collar. Tony, Carlos are other why Roto
decocker Tony its is it all named?
Yeah. Why is the Japanese name?
But Tony cock crew is a shortened name.
Yes. I forgot that.
They did that. It's silly sometimes.
Yes, our first rom-com of the season, a boy, essentially kind
of saves a girl, the girl kind of saves him from getting hit by
a bus and then they get married. It's a really, really quick
transition from yeah. From first meet to getting
married, but the story is based around the interaction between
the two characters. You have this lovable out that
would nerdy dorky. Dude, who's seems like he's
trying his best but he's still learning as he goes and this
girl who is essentially is kind of using him.
Um, but I feel like also has the sympathy and cares for him at
the same time. It's kind of we're still
learning as we go, but so far through the first couple of
episodes, been pretty enjoyable. We just got introduced in the
newest episode to like the side cash from the Onsen.
So I think we got two new characters from I guess ones
like is kouhai. One is like the girl who kind of
runs the on sense, like that her family own runs it, but she's
probably going to be the main Pinnacle since they don't own a
bathroom. Or they do they like, Bath and
there appear. Talking about the second, you're
talking about the third step. So that's what I'm talking
about. The third episode, the onset,
and then the fourth episode. All right.
Sorry, was that the second episode?
Yeah, that was s here, the onset episode and then the Mansion
episode where you kind of learn some.
Yeah. Well, I don't know the spoilers,
but they go into a mansion. So Something's Happened and you
learn more about it in terms of rom-com so far.
It's okay. I'm appointed as considerate
like if you're a rom-com trash like me you will I will watch
all 12 episodes regardless of how it goes, if rom coms are not
your thing. I don't think this is going to
hit for like new new people. The Opie is a credible.
God. I hope he's slapped So Hard
Castle talk about it a second, but it's a great LP.
Yeah, so I'm so put it under a considerate if you like rom-coms
cat, your first impressions. So here's the thing.
I really gotta talk about how How I reacted when I first
started watching the show watching this show.
The first episode hit me and I was like, okay.
Okay. Opie is cattle.
It is kind of lit boy step. Okay.
I got you and didn't fucking shows.
You know, me and I'll be huge fan of the, you know, me and
I'll fucking with insane because I've been following, you know,
me for like, almost a year and a half and I was always expecting
him to put out a Song for anatomy and I've never seen an
animate that had that had his name on it.
And then I looked up an article and this was the first anime
that he actually had no p. And I and I was fucking lit.
And the song is great. But the Opie just complements
complements it amazingly. And the thing is, The thing is
with the show itself. Is it the old P kind of
compliments to show a little bit.
The Opie definitely raises the show instead of the show Raising
the old P. So the main thing is NASA is
kind of like is kind of not necessarily a bland bitch, but
he's he's got a little bit of character and feel like that's
going to grow as the show goes on but Not too much.
The the girl is definitely is definitely the best character in
the show, even though we're four episodes and I feel like that's
just going to be the consensus. I think it's pretty early.
Yeah that is to say that she's that is to say that she's not a
meteor character. She's a good character.
But like she has. She's not your typical.
Oh, I'm always blushing. She's actually got a little bit
of like a little A bit of maturity in her, which is weird
because like the most of the oldest person that we meet that
isn't like a, like a tertiary character or just a background
character is, is NASA, I think and he's fucking so nasty, the
main character for people who have a watch that.
Yeah, and it's just, I just love this show so much, but then
again, I'm also rom-com trash. But with that I also have to say
that this is probably the first the second Crunchyroll original
that I think people should watch.
So with that said, yeah, I'm probably going to give it a
must-watch. Must watch.
Okay, Pat you first impressions. Wow, I must watch good.
I guess so, so for me this show going and I knew I was gonna
want to watch it because yeah, late like pecan cat.
I'm wrong. I'm calm trash.
I think everything they've said so far has been pretty fair.
If you don't like rom-coms, there's no reason for you to
even like think about watching the show in the first place.
But then, if you do like rom-coms though, then you
probably want to watch it. Like it's definitely worth a
worth at least giving an episode or two.
I really like the main two characters as well.
I think the guy like you said that you've said so far, he
starts out a little Bland they're like the blind bitch
protagonist, but I think he breaks from that mold.
Pretty quickly because he does think critically and he does
show. Hey, I have thoughts as a guy
sometimes that are not pure, you know, and he does but he doesn't
back down from them and they're if they're pretty funny when
they happen to, I think the girl to Tsukasa very interesting to
like we don't know much about her past yet and I'm curious to
learn about it. Just a couple quick notes that I
want to bring up that are unique for.
Scoff. It's done by seven arcs who
other than White Album and Dog Days the White Album first
season, by the way, not The not-not-not, White Album to I
don't which is a completely different show from White Album
one. It did White Album one and White
Album to season 2 of the first out first album God, that's so
annoying. Why is it like that?
They don't even relate to each other and then they also did dog
days. That's another n secretary or
Psychiatry something like that. So There you go.
See I never had that. I've never heard of that show
myself, but I was like, okay, so it's one of those just and the
plot both block and both plots. Gotcha.
Like I schematically but not as good but not as good at not.
It's not the XD. But okay, so it's that level.
But yeah, so it's not a very big Studio that's doing this but I
think they're doing a very good job with it so far.
It's very pretty. The main thing.
I have to complain about with how it looks.
Is the fucking hair piece that she wears, someone please in the
comments if you are listening to this and know, What the fuck it
is. Please tell me because I don't
get it. It doesn't shape her hair in any
way like some like hair clip or something like that.
It literally looks like a a yarmulke but a female version
that goes to the back. It doesn't know know because
they showed her take it off in the first episode and it does
not change how her hair is shaped in any way.
I genuinely I the cat don't even try me on this because I watched
that episode specific and saw that moment because I
specifically said, Why? Like, there has to be a reason
for it? It's just there.
I don't get it. And so, please someone in the
comments, tell me why it's there other than just a stylistic
thing. Go ahead cat.
I want you to try, but again, I watched it.
I could have sworn it didn't do anything.
So the thing is those types of hair pieces are meant to keep
the hair from splitting like keep the hair Bunch together
rather than shape the hair. So instead of having the hair
like go all over all over, the fucking place is supposed to
have like a little bit of hair in the back so that it Moves
together rather than having all of the hair like move
separately. So it's supposed to like
reference that our hair is more. It's straight.
Basically, that that's pretty much what I told my Tweety.
A barbershop the anime, all I all I'm hearing is that pat?
Pat doesn't understand women. That's all I got.
That's what it is. Yeah.
There you go. I guess that you've added me.
Go God only plays a jardim bottom.
Fuck damn. How do I recover from that?
But yeah, other than that, it's just one last note about the
show. One of the alternate titles for
it is Fly Me to the Moon which that when I read that initially
got me interested because I'm waiting for some Frank Sinatra
references. I'm waiting for something to
come in that has to do with that or mythology as well, because
the maiden name of Tsukasa. The female is tsukiyomi.
Who is the god of the Moon, in Japanese mythology.
So I Very curious to see if that comes in as well, at any point,
and they also talked about kagura or Cog.
Esre princess kaguya, who was banished to the moon.
It's again, it has a little bit to do with Chinese mythology, as
well. Again, it's very cool stuff and
I want to know if they actually do anything with it or if it's
just there to get people like me interested and then like, yeah,
like so many shows do they don't follow up on it.
So, but I would say, yeah, it's not must watch yet.
It's not like some rom-com. It's gonna change your life.
But if you like rom-coms, I recommend you watch it.
So this could be in the, the middle tier for me.
I camera what we called. It considers that our cats and
our final word before we move on.
So I also want to add this because I forgot that I wanted
to say this before, like before we got here.
So and Tony Kawa, it is like one of the reasons why I have it as
a must-watch is because it's not just like it's because of its
Crunchyroll, original type of Thing.
It's it's like not as is that as subtle with, it's like with its
actual like references, like, in the latest episode.
There were just like, fucking like 8 references, like, back to
back to back and I and I was, I was laughing my asshole.
So, fate the command seal, there was berserk, there was Another
was a JoJo reference in their fucking just just watch the
fucking show there. Yeah, there are a lot of good
references. It's very again.
The comedy is there, too. It's not just romance.
It is. The comedy is there.
I think it hits. Well with, for the most part.
I don't think it's missed very often.
All right, so we have to consider its and one must watch
for Tony Kawa /. Tony Kaku, / Fly Me to the Moon
Crunchyroll original. Next up is a show that cat and
Are they always watching that season 3 of gold and comely so
cat? If you want to take it away, how
do you feel about the season of going commentary?
So this season a golden Cowboy already is a fucking must wash.
Like, like I can't really say, I can't really say too much about
the whole series because I mean, I watch those areas up to this
point, but like the thing is this is it may not be up your
alley. But the third season, it's a
fucking push, pop, to be honest. Because what?
Because the first, the first episode establishes where we
are, how we got here? A little bit of flashback, but
not too much which I'm grateful for and then we get into like
the story and how it's going and then we get into stinka.
Thank God. Yes fucking steak.
Look. The stinka is one of my favorite
is one of my favorite word's now.
Just in general, but the second episode when they which is
actually named stinka is one of the First episodes like in the
past year and 2020, that is made me almost fucking like has made
me die laughs like close to fucking passing out laughing
like I Stomach hurt. I was crying and I was doubled
over because I was laughing so hard at that, goddamn it.
Pisode and I don't forgive it at all, because that was fucking
hilarious. Just the fucking positron, and
distinct and the fucking every time they did the Basra.
Everybody was looking at the camera and then they had the
half-ass like Jojo reference. And then they the fucking this
is thinking, this is not stick. It's for anyone wondering before
cat continues his part. I feel like we need to explain
this stanca. Essentially is naked men or
nearly naked men punching each other, until one of them Falls
over. It's like, literally like a
bare-knuckle boxing in a, in a very comical sense.
So, that's why it again. I I'll talk about more my
opinion later, but I'll let cat keep going.
But just so you understand what's tank is, that's why it's
the whole Focus, the episode got cat.
Finish it finish up. Yeah.
So basically other than that, all I really have to say is this
this whole season so far has been honestly really enjoyable.
It's other than episode 2 because it's the fucking it's a
fucking Top Gear episode episode 1 and episode 3 have been like
on par with going kimono and is probably about an eight or nine.
Just both seasons season one about an eighth season one.
Got put it in on this this season so far has been about
it--and on for me. It's damn near must watch and
honestly, I feel like you guys should watch the, I feel like
you guys should watch just to get up to the get up to season 3
episode 2. But anyway, onto you Pat.
All right? Yeah.
So for people who don't know anything about going kamui, it
was a hard show for me to ever. Were talk about to people
because I never knew what to compare it to the best
description. I came up for it when I was
trying to tell it to my friend. My my real life friends, who I
used to watch Sao with every week and talk about, but now
that that's done, we need something else.
So I got him to start watching the show and the way I described
it to him was it's a historical Heist drama mixed with just
slapstick humor and decent action.
And that that's I really don't know how else to describe the
show. But I am so glad that we watched
Baccano a few weeks ago or last week for watch called because I
think that is probably the best comparison show out there that
you can make where if you like Baccano, you would love going
Community because it's got a huge cast of characters that all
have their own motivations and interests and the way that their
stories, all tied together are very important.
They're all seeking the same thing generally or well, they're
not all seeking the same thing, but it's all around the same
general. Tori which is the same thing
with Baccano, I think there's so many lovable characters and go
committee as well. And the it does a really good
job of going from Super serious scenes to just like an stanca or
which again, the stanko was important to the story, but it
was also just hilarious to watch these Jack, Das Japanese
soldiers from the russo-japanese war throwing punches with each
other. And and just like again, it was
a very Very comically good episode, like cat described it.
But again the whole show is, is solid.
So I think if you would like a show like Baccano if you like
historical shows, this is a good show for you to watch my first
impression of the Season. It like cats that it just picks
up back where golden kamui was like, it's always been a really,
really solid show Studio. It's done by Studio G.
No, or Gino Studio, which when I look at their list, they've done
going kamui. They've done Coco coup, which
I've never heard of. Dove, and then they've done pet.
So, I'm not sure if there's anyone who's ever liked their
work in the past, but golden kamui is an exception and it's a
good reason to watch it or to watch with the studio creates.
I guess again, II. Think if you like the first few
seasons of going kamui, it's a must watch.
Because it continues the story. All the characters are fun.
Sugimoto is a fucking bad-ass. He's, he's a walking JoJo's
reference, but he's also his own character at the same time.
That's that Is very interesting and fun to watch, grow and
develop. I don't know, going to the
movies. Always been like one of those.
88 hovering 89 shows for me. So I can't like, say, it's a
must watch in general. But if you like, history, like I
do, or if you, like good comedy mixed in with some drama in
history. I think this is a great show for
you. So I'm going to throw it on,
consider it. All right, after the general
public. So one must watch one, consider
it. I when I was looking at the
John, Aras, even though these, it's blasphemous that, these two
haven't seen Vinland soggy yet, but I feel like if you liked
Midland Saga. Yes, you yes.
It like golden combo area. That's another good one.
Vinland. Saga is a little more serious.
Those what? So like this is like them and
Saga. If it had a little bit more
comedy throat, it and now not that there's not comedic
elements, infants Agha but it like it's not like you described
Gintama and Baccano had a love child.
It is, that's another really good Sheraton because they again
I don't think in Finland Saga, they live.
It will go from a scene where someone's dying or being
murdered which does happen and go a community.
So, you know, it's not like, it's just like, you know, things
happen, but it doesn't. It's a non-consequential.
There are consequences. Yeah.
It's also sign in to be that that too, but it's not.
Yeah, there's no scenes where they sit there and eat like deer
brain and goes and and start Latin start going like oh, yeah,
he nahin. Now, you know, because that's
what you say when you eat good food.
When you're a, I forget what the tribe is called that, that the
other main characters from but again, yeah.
So again, this shows great. I love this show.
I can't, I can't wait to see the next episode tomorrow.
And if you use the, I knew yes. The I knew.
So if you liked that part of Japanese history, I think this
is a really cool era in Japan. That's when they just finished
their war with Russia and staged them off from their Invasion.
So I got, I think it's Very cool time period in Japanese history.
So if you have any interest in that you should watch it showed
up right on going common. We see them through.
There's a reason why it has three seasons.
So I'll just put it there. Yes that too.
It wouldn't be a seasonal without Izakaya.
Our first Asian guy of the season is I'm standing on a
million lives, pretty stereotypically Sakai, you know,
in the classroom and then randomly transported to another
world for reasons unknown. This is the best way.
In terms of Isa Kaiser. I was comparing it to grimgar
because it's the The level you start at level 1 and suffocating
the time skip to like a later level and other izakayas.
It's there. It's level 1 to level 2 level to
the level. Three type of thing.
We do get like a very minor level like skip when they go
from like 3 to 6, but like nothing like SEO where you see
like their level 1 episode 1 and then 3 episodes later.
I think you're just like 40 something so nothing like that.
So if you like the like the The bottom level E Sakai build your
way up type of thing. This is the show for you if you
like that but there's it definitely has its negatives.
The animation sucks. Dop is one of the worst Opie's
I've ever heard in my entire life.
The characters are okay. The main character.
Kara is a little edgy and then you have like the popular blond
the shy girl, who, of course, is the Bane tank type of thing.
Out of though. They have some like silly
Dynamics, how the main character gets his role.
In the show is the game. Master spends a wheel and then
whatever the wheel lands on that's his class.
I'd of course, it's hijinks because he's a chef while.
Everyone else is a wizard and stuff like that.
So you get some like funny class things and they get mixed
together right now. It's a very low considerate.
If you like a nice acai fan. I don't think it's drop worthy
yet because there are some cool dynamics that I don't want to
spoil that. The show does really well.
It's just really like nitpicky things.
Things were I I think the characters looks so outdated and
I forgot what studio it is, but I'm pretty sure it's like a like
CT R studio type of thing. So if you're looking for a nice
acai, there will be another E Sakai on our list.
I will be talking about a little bit, but this is a consider if
Yuri Sakai trash. Has your first impressions on.
I'm standing on a Million Lives. Did you miss me, guys?
Sad and say anything for two shows?
No, I, there's not much to say it's he's okay and much to be
this point about, like it's probably a low consider.
I put in the middle. I think mostly Sakai nowadays is
can just consider it because he's kind of become so flooded
that early. It's down to the peculiarities
of what that's Ernie. Sakai has right?
Like, oh, do you, do you want to see the hijinks of a wrestler or
someone who spawns in? With a vending machine for a
backpack. Like it.
It's, it's honestly like, at this point.
It's hard for me to judge and he said, hi.
This is pretty middle of the road, but it's not offensively
middle of the road, like, Isa, chi, chi magician is, it's not
bad. It's not nearly as bad.
It's pretty solid. How I think Mom with my
smartphone. Yeah, March to a parallel
Rhapsody. It's like that.
Middle. Tier Isa.
Chi. Yeah.
What I will say though is that and I have yet to confirm this
because I don't I've been catching up on all the other
manga that I haven't been reading recently.
I heard that the manga is really good.
I heard the same thing like so, If you, if you watch it and
you're interested, I'd suggest picking up the Hmong.
I guess. Like my uninformed opinion from
other people, like they said, the same thing about Ari for it
though. So, I don't know.
Ha ha ha we won't go there. That's we've talked enough about
that. So yeah, consider it, you know,
yeah, but izakayas Izakaya at the end of the day.
Yeah, that's such to consider. Its.
If you're looking for a nice acai, guess what comes out next
season? The third season of the best
seasick I ever made Log Horizon. So watch Log Horizon and tap
It's the best, you haven't seen it.
So don't talk up. Next me, cat will be discussing
adachi to shimomura. It is a coming-of-age Yuri
story. I believe it's a Oregon
FUNimation pretty so far. Pretty stereotypical URI where
it's more of them coming to the realization that.
Well as of right now, one of the characters coming to the
realization that she is attracted to females and the
other girl kind of oblivious, but also kind of like getting In
that sense, if you're a fan of like those type of stories, I
really love wholesome, Yuri self.
This is pretty good. So far.
I like where it's going because and like the first couple
episodes. They've already kind of pushed
the boundaries of like the three episode rule in terms of like
really light hard Yuri stuff because it's like they're
touching each other. They're hanging out there
hogging that type of stuff. We're other shells, unless it's
Citrus. It takes like 12 episodes the
Manifest of hand-holding seen type of thing.
So if you like the good wholesome quality Yuri, I would
put this at a considerate. It's not blowing my mind.
But so far, it's not that bad cat.
How about your first impressions of a Dieci adachi to shimomura?
So I am so this is probably my first like stereotypical Yuri
show like the only other like you worry and or yaoi show that
I've actually watched is your own eyes.
Which is probably the best gay show that that I've seen little
that is, has come out and long time, but the thing is adachi
new Shimmer to her. So adachi, the Shema Mora is
kind of that kind of that show that that I'm just kind of like,
oh, that comes out today. I'ma wait until like, I sit down
and watch it. They're better show like I'ma
wait until I watched another show that comes out on st.
Like that comes out on FUNimation on the same day so I
can watch him book together Acuna and The come on the same
day. Oh, no.
Well, for example. Yeah, but it's one of those
shows that that I'm not real, like extremely attracted to, but
it's alright. I don't mind it.
And the fact that it's actually moving quicker than most
stereotypical, ROM comes and from your experience.
Most stereotypical. Yeah.
We or Fury shows, excuse me. It exposes of ones, I guess, but
it's probably a considerate. If you don't like gay stuff or
if you're offended by gay things don't?
Yeah, it's still, I gotta say exactly.
So, that's too considerate for adachi to Shimmer.
I believe that's only streaming on FUNimation next.
We're going to pass it over to Pat and has and they are going
to talk about the kind of it started off as a joke where I
was like a remake Make of Higurashi.
But now it's pretty much confirmed that it's like a new
new type of Higurashi. So Pat, I'll pass over to you
for Higurashi. Yeah, so I am filling in as as
has often. Does he mistakes me for Miles,
another friend of ours on the podcast?
And I guess I'm taking his shoes on this as the the white guy.
But I will talk about Higurashi which is a show that is based
off of a visual novel and one of the most Visual novels ever, you
know, it's like that and when you think of a visual novel, you
think of like Doki Doki maybe if you're a more modern person, but
this is like an older School visual novel from the 2000s.
That was very popular and it already had an anime adaptation
as well that if you looked at it according to Miles again, this
is from a fan of the genre. He says that, you know, people
might like it that didn't read the visual novel like they might
have said like that. The original adaptation was
good, but compared to the now, Evil itself.
It was terrible or not comparable.
It was not nearly as good as the actual visual novel.
So, this is a show that is see. It starts off and seems like a
slice of life. He kind of, you know, like this
guy moves into it, a desolate town in the middle of like rural
Japan, and he makes friends quickly, whatever.
And but then, there are the gist slight things that seem off.
And the first episode does a great job of doing that.
With where you know, they'll just be light-hearted music
playing and they'll be having a happy lucky conversation and
then he'll ask a question. And then one of the girls are
the people will just respond very bluntly and coldly like
completely off tone and it's and it is really really well done.
Like it's off-putting. It makes you like set on edge in
your hair stand up because you just like wait what the fuck?
What was that for? And same thing happens to him
and he starts to wonder and and there's a supernatural element.
Mints to it, too. So again, the the genres are got
when I read the genres. It sounds terrible.
That I'm describing it as a slice of life, but it really is.
It's at the start or it tries to play itself as one.
The genres are dementia, horror mystery psychological,
Supernatural and thriller. So if that doesn't scream
slice-of-life, I don't know what's wrong with you.
But, um, it's got interesting waifu so far, like all the main
female cast are interesting in their own way.
Couple of them are true. B-but, that's just my the way I
look at it. You could describe it
differently. I'm sure if you ask other people
like miles, who would just talk about how great they are.
I my first impressions of the show so far.
I'm enjoying it. I think it's going a bit slow
for me, but that's a probably because I want to see what
happens. I want to know what happens
next. So badly that it annoys me when
it doesn't tell me. And so I'm sure if I binged the
show, my patients wouldn't Be as like tested or I wouldn't be as
annoyed by it. I think if you like horror or it
which is not a common thing that happens in anime.
They really isn't a lot of good horror anime out there.
I think this is going to be one of those shows that goes down
and and really is looked at as one of the best in that genre
at. So I think if you like horror,
it's a must watch. I think if you liked the visual
novels, it's a must watch my, one of my little quick notes.
The studio that did. This is Studio passio nor
passion. With an e at the end, their
shows, it's pretty funny. Compared to this.
It's completely out of their ballpark that.
Let me just list some of the other shows, they've done Citrus
rail Wars, fourth, season of HighSchool DxD, and my favorite
of this list, at least in terms of just could being completely
uncomfortable to Higurashi is interspecies reviewers.
So there's there's that's a quite a list of shows.
Those to go from and then to be producing this horror anime, or
again. This this psychological anime.
It's very weird, but they're doing a good job with it.
So far as well. I think the art looks good.
I'm enjoying it. Maybe not as much as someone
like miles it is but I think you could definitely enjoyed if you
like horror. I don't know how she feels about
it. So I would say this is a must
watch if you like horror and a considerate.
If you are a seasonal Watcher in general So for I don't mean to
catch to start whatever, let me just want to add this because
that Gap me a little bit. So basically what you're saying
is that the studio doesn't know how to has not made anything
good. Yet.
The studio is made circuit things.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Real. Or is this a fucking ride?
It's a literal ride. Yeah.
It's a ride. I fucking love that show.
I know it's terrible, but it's fun.
It's fun. I loved and now it's a terrible
show, but I enjoyed it and it's reason why it's got a special
place in my heart. But yeah, here's reviewers were
debatable. I had I think I from what I
heard it was a good show for what it was doing, its just it
was stupid and it also was very not what people expected from
it. So I think that that's well,
that's another discussion though to have it all but mainly
because of my profession anyway, yeah.
There you go. Go ahead has let's here.
I'm curious to see what other people think about this show
though, because it's I feel like it it's very hit-or-miss.
I think in terms of Interest. First off.
I'm just glad I'm able to talk with it about this show with
such a distinguished member of the visual novel Community
miles. Yeah, wherever he's at on
compared to me here. Yeah.
It's my fellow white men down. Yeah, and secondly, forgive me
if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure inner species.
Reviewer left. Some psychological trauma to
somebody out there. That's right.
Comparable. Yeah, he Karachi new is or goo
nugu Barth. Here.
Are she knew is pretty good. I love her, right, all of my
completed manga. AR har.
I like pumpkin night. UK to show, Joe, excetera
Revenge costume. It's just a good horror
experience. I think this is a must watch for
everyone just because I like my not Mi pad.
Pat was saying garlic, onion. I'm sorry.
It's okay. It's all good.
Apparently, we're the same person.
So like like that was saying, hard just, isn't something that
gets touched in anime with the same care that other genres do.
And it's not only not touched with the same care.
It's just not touched as often. Either a lot of what's good
horror really is like classic and it's kind of cheesy kind of
in the same way like a Chase in X's, but Jason X is really I
love Jason next. There's no.
Um, so yeah, like if it's just a nice change of pace and it's not
bad. I think they do something really
cool to enhance it to, which is they start each episode, wait,
har for like three like before The Opie plays and it just kind
of and then they go to their Slice of Life shit.
And I think that really helps keep interest because something
that I I'm sure Mi would like to mention if he was here is that
the the horror in Higurashi and the visual novel much like
Doki-Doki is visual, novel is far later in the play through
like it starts off as a slice of life and I feel like it It was
presented as it is in a visual novel.
There would be a lot less interesting because they kind of
like drop these hints and they started off with the horror.
Delete leave. You kind of like looking for
what's wrong in the picture. It creates a lot more tension.
I just also the main characters fucking stupid.
Okay. Yeah, dumbest character of this
year has to be, it's what annoys me about the show is how stupid
he is and how Ow, like there are things that just happen that
immediately would send me of being like, okay, this is
fucking weird, I don't like this to it rather than just me
shrugging it off and be like, oh, whatever, that's nothing.
But you know what? I'm not an anime character for a
reason clearly, so I don't know if you can get past that and
I'll let me just give the example of how stupid he is,
because it's in the first episode in the beginning of the
second episode and this is going to be a make-or-break for
people. A girl comes up to him with
something. That is clearly not an axe meant
for cutting wood. It's a hook blade.
It is a complete work. Um has it held up above her?
Head ready to swing down on him like this.
He turns around. Looks she fake surprise like,
oh, I drops it and it's like, I brought the axe to help us get
object a out of the dirt and he's like, oh should I just let
me know many picks up the What blade?
That has a hook whack, right? He doesn't use it as ax.
He uses it as a pickaxe with the little point at the end against
what? Yeah, so if you could get past,
that gonna be unset, it works. It works.
If you play like 10 seconds in
Minecraft, you would be checking fucking drop it.
Everybody want me to mention as well.
They brought back all the original voice actors from the
original series, which was like, again, that was from Got the
original one was following out the door thousand six.
I have no idea about the dumb or not, because it hasn't been made
yet. But, but yeah, 2006.
So that's 14 years and they don't sound that age out of
middle school Nelly. They all sound like you're out
of the host to nip. That sound like they're supposed
to so I got him good. But yeah, I don't watch this
shit. Fuck this show.
Oh, I you can watch it. I okay from what I'm getting.
We have a must-watch a considerate.
And a drop from two people. So yes, this pretty much all
over the place. So let's just say, this is a
considerate. Files is already dubbed anime of
the decade for episodes in so Millennium Millennium, so I take
it for what it is. Higurashi A Slice of Life in a
different type of Slice of Life. It's yeah, slice, Slice of Life.
Yep. Next up is our second.
Sakai of the Season. Kumar Kumar Kumar bear.
It's a nice acai. It's a new one.
Yes. It is.
Kuban choir is a nice acai. It's a say.
So yeah, there's three Kuma's there might be more Kuma's as we
go along. But okay, so this is a nice
trick a girl off topic. Girl gets a bear suit.
Bear suit is Opie. She's the kind really silly.
This is both very light. If you saw both for you from
earlier this year where it's a very, very funny Sakai.
It does not take itself. Seriously.
It's purely based off her being Opie in a bear suit and having
fun interactions with the town. If you are a fan of Bo furi, if
you are a fan of like a light-hearted Isa Kai's out,
both ways like the best example. Consider it.
If you don't like light-hearted Isa Kai's, this is like a
probably a drop but animations really good.
I really like the main character so far.
She's like a child prodigy. That just happens to be a huge
Avid gamer who get seasick. I'd.
It's it's pretty fun. It's a very fun.
Watch I watch before, like, I go to bed.
You will never be in a bad mood watching this show.
It's just silly. Good fun stuff.
So, how about has what's your first impression on Kumar Kumar?
Kumar bear? Koakuma coined the acronym,
bear, that African-American. Yeah, really bad.
Acne is just it's a good show. I don't know if I would call it
both very light just because I feel like the main character in
this is slightly more mature and it's less of a feel-good energy
just like, okay, you definitely feel good watching it, but I
don't think the same way. You feel good in both Rhett, I
think both freeze a lot more lighthearted and like upbeat and
this is a lot more just wholesome things happen in the
show and like the main character is a genuinely good person.
I'm not entirely sure if it's an Izakaya because I'm pretty sure
in the first episode, you know, I don't want to spoil like what
happens. But it is a nice acai.
Well, it's not just an augmented.
It's not like bo3 were there. Just like an augmented VR.
This is okay. This is a nice guy.
Okay, because I'm yeah, if it's just, well, I guess we'll talk
about it off that but, um, you know, it's really good.
The cast of characters is great. The main character is fucking
great. I love her Kuma punch and A
genuine laughs in there. The first time I saw the kuma
punch, I fucking die. And when you know, you get the
two bears that each other like upset that she doesn't ride them
or like, that's her. I like her.
Yeah. Yes.
Contrary Hulk a don't like this is great.
This is great. It definitely puts a smile on
your face. Definitely fun.
And we all need fun in these trying times.
So I think it's a must watch. ouch, yeah, I would have put it
under consider it if I how do I put it?
It's not over. It is overpowered anime to,
which is a like, I think it just adds to the funny Factor.
Yeah, um, and I love comedy in that overpowered ship.
It's not miss fitted demon Academy, but it's still like oh,
what the fuck are you doing with your bear suit?
Who are you? It's like oh, but this is
transmog legendary gear pitch. So yeah, it's great.
It's definitely the meme where he, like, you see the guy
dressed up in like pink sparkles, but like the stats are
too good to like get rid of the armor.
That's exactly what her Kumar armor is something.
That's so funny to me because I you guys have sold me on this
very silly show. That's so fun fact about this
show made by e mc squared who made assassins pride and the
master of Ragnarok. Those are the others.
I know. So you're not not very popular
shows. I know I'm sorry, Renee
boku-kun, which is Love Tyrant, I guess they did that dude.
A fun fact. This is not the only show that
they've done that has Kuma in its title, which is kumud mean.
They're better Cafe up one, they did Aku mamiko, which is Girl
Meets bear and it's I oh no, it's just I saw it when I was
looking at their you know, their credentials and I thought that
was funny and interesting you bring up.
But yeah, I've added that to my watch list.
I'll beat yay. My first impressions on Kuma
bear. So just want to add this add,
this note in there. When he said when Pat said that
they also did girl may spare. One of the episodes is also
named girl meets bear. Just wanted to add that in a
little bit. That's a little bit of a
throwback. Shut up, whore.
Yeah, but is it not? I know it's probably real life
floor, I guess. But yeah, it's a good show.
This show is one of those shows that you just sit back and just
like, ya like it. Like I can if I watch the show,
if I had waited to the end of the season to binge a lot of
these, a lot of these shows, I would have just like, it would
have been done in like, probably like four hours.
Like out. Well, three, however, long, the
fucking 12:20 episode things are just like fucking sit down.
Watch all these episodes and then feel like I had a really
good day today. Like that's that's how that's
how the show is. It's just one of those shows
that you sit back. And is that really cannon
fodder. But it's like You just feel good
watching it. And to be honest.
I can't really give a must-watch.
It's up there. It's up there, but I can't
really give a must-watch because this show is such a such.
Because there are some people who just don't watch anime for
for like for that, that feeling of a of a slice of life or a
comedy, they watch it for thrills or battles or things
like that. So that's why I, that's why I
can't really say. Yeah, go ahead and watch it.
But this show is is, is kind of a Larry's.
It's a good show. So that's too considerate.
Sand one must watch and then one at plan to watch from Pat.
Yeah, for olives, Kuma Kuma bear.
It's FUNimation. Isn't it?
God damn it. Oh my God, this season, you know
what? I mean?
So, I don't cats really excited about this show this show, so
the premises, Princess gets kidnapped by like a bunch of
demons and she's stuck in the castle.
So she's trying to make the best out of it and she likes to sleep
a lot. So it's her going around the
demon Castle trying to find new ways for her to either decorate
her room or make her bed more comfy or have like better
lighting and stuff. It's a really silly show just
like whom a barrel. Was the main character of the
girl is such like a smug asshole.
I love her. She just fucks with all the
demons and they can't do anything because She's like the
ransom so they can't hurt her and they can't do anything.
So she's like, she knows that. So she's like, well, I got the
key to get out of my cell. I will go to whoever I want.
They're like, no, princess come back.
It's great. It's a hilarious show.
It's near must watch for me. Some of the comedy mrs.
I feel like some of the segment's drag on just a little
bit too much longer. So each episode is essentially
broken up into two different like tasks.
She does request. I feel like it would be much
better if it was like three shorter Quest then.
To longer Quest. But for the most part, the show
is like, really funny near must watch but I most label it as a
considerate, cat, your first impressions on the Sleeping
Princess. So, little bit of funny story
about this one. This this is the actual show
that got my mom to let, kind of put the straw on the camel's,
back to break it for my mom to actually start watching anime.
Because I was, I told her that Going to watch seasonals and I
was like, okay, I drop another show for this season that we're
not talking about now. So I'm going to pick up this
show. It seems kind of men.
I might watch it then we watch it.
And this was the first sub that she was like I kind of like
that. So I was a little bit shocked by
it. But this show is hilarious.
Just honestly this shows a must watch for me.
Just putting that out there because it's because it's Got
that just like that smoke asshole.
There's no way to describe it because she is like a little
runt and she runs all over the castle causing Havoc to the
demons who are essentially really nice people.
And she just thinks her life, a living hell, pun intended, and
the funny, one of the funniest moments that I can remember was
when she got some dude, who's half scissors and just fuck it.
Takes like three of his scissors.
Goes to goes to the fucking demons that are basically
sheets. Yeah and Custer Cuts their head
off your sister, just Burgers, the sheet like gollust people
with giant scissors. It's so silly.
It's so hilarious. There's like, oh, oh, great.
And and probably one of my favorite things about it is when
it flashes back to To just isn't kind of a sport that.
I really think it's not. It's like this is like the first
five minutes. They get the spoiler.
It's probably a spoiler. There's a fucking there's,
there's a hero and he's trying to save the princess, but it
doesn't fucking matter. Okay, but every time was last
inspected hero, that's some of my favorite Parts because it's
like such a dichotomy between, we're trying our hardest versus.
Oh, I just killed a demon and the demons can't do anything to
me. So It interesting.
So this is done by dog acaba who don't do a lot of.
It's a wide variety of shows like I want to go from Zaki
Coon. They've done plastic memories.
They did a moto Maruchan Gabrielle Dropout, helpful, Fox
Sanko son, and how heavy are the dumbbells you lift.
And of course the anime that shall not be named in front of
has something about singing a few days ago or Or something
along those who have the right. Yeah.
Yeah, so I'll say it now since he's got ya sing yesterday for
me. Oh, Antarctica and falls in
love. There you go.
So, you know, yeah, they've done some really good shows.
So I think I could see this being hilarious, and it looks
like a show that like, based on their track record.
It looks like a show that fits what they do.
Well, yes, I think that's very silly show.
One of those shows If you're looking for something, not Just
shut your brain off. Have a good time.
I definitely recommend sleepy Princess and the demon Castle.
I live. Next meat has talking about it.
One of the best shows I've ever seen in my entire life.
Hypnosis Mike rap battle. Let's go what happens if the
government is run by women and weapons are disbanded, but
instead of fighting with fists, you fight with Mike's.
That's right, hypnosis. Mike rap battle.
Holy crap. This show is what anime is meant
for. It is just okay.
First of all, the wraps are great.
I expect all of the wraps. Keep going the characters, 12
unique characters. Each team is broken up into
three different. Rappers.
They each have their own personalities and then there's
four teams and then eventually going to battle each other in
the division, rap battle of Tokyo.
This is food Wars on crack with microphones.
I love hypnosis Mike. I know people are.
If you judge the show, critically your fool.
This show is meant to have so much fun.
Enjoy it for what it is. It's just stupid over-the-top
humor. The premise is so dumb.
One of the team's is Is a gang leader, a military commander and
a detective. That's the rat battle team like
come on. How is that?
That scream, just pure Brilliance.
I think hypnosis Mike is a must watch.
If you are an anime fan, go into it with, just shut your brain
off. Do not view it correctly.
The shows so much fun. I love hypnosis.
Mike has your first impressions. I mean, like first of all, let
me just say like we need to clip this because cos P.
Just what and spit straight facts for however long.
He just I was fucking great, like Bravo.
Jesus Christ now, it's like I know opinions are subjective,
but what he just said was facts right?
Holy shit. Your noses.
Mike is gasps. Okay.
I think everyone who looked at hypnosis Mike in the fall
lineup, said, what the fuck is that?
Yeah, that yeah, we bait shit because that's what it's based
on that. What if I said?
So yeah, this is gonna be horrible.
I'm gonna watch it because I bought your bad shit.
That's my, that's my jam. But oh my God, and another watch
the first episode and I immediately had to act be like,
bro. You gotta watch this shit, the
bars. Hey, The fuck you.
It has the best over here. The season, doesn't that shit
goes crazy. The first four episodes.
Like, alright is exactly what he said.
It's shokugeki on crack. Right?
And I love it because it even knows it's a weak point.
It's a very self-aware now, it's not suffer wearing like a
comedic sense, but I think if you watch the First episodes,
the two groups that are the weakest in their introduction.
Are the military detective and and the scientist group and
those two are the ones that get the first arcs.
This the medic and like the medic, the celebrity and then
like the depressed businessman. Yeah.
Thank you. And it's great.
I just think about that roster. It's so good on the military man
wraps. Okay, when the military you in
the talking about that? Oh my God, we're at bat.
It's they Have songs every fucking episode, right?
You. And they all go crazy and the
effects, right? The military man swans for Quad
launchers around him and shoots Rockets when he raps, the
gangster has a coffin with skeletons that like, in the last
episode. No, the second line in episode
3, The Skeleton, literally denied the other person rap like
the person was trying to put the in my ear.
He's like, nah. Now you would have thought that
the hook up, those this Carolyn's Tuesday, except rap
battle. No, it's a, no.
No. No, it's better.
That it is. Well, that's not saying much,
not only that. It's Look super pretty right?
Like, I'm not into men. But if I were, if I were,
there's not a single single non bangable, mail, or single
measure would not let Peggy when this show, it's, they're all
beautiful. Okay, and then like the three
non-combatant member group that are like news journalist or
whatever that followed them around, have a waifu in there.
Yes. You're into that.
Yeah, I don't think you'll be into that during the show
though. No, I think you're going to be
into some fucking bar. This is y'all, you real nothing
bout that. He's motherfucking bar.
We spent falx. Wow.
So this is done by a very small, not very well-known Studio known
as a one washers and you know, they they're, they're shows
aren't that well known, but they have some very good some
Classics out there, you know, you gotta throw out the random
shows like on hon. Sao Blue Exorcist, your lion,
April fairytale promised Neverland kaguya Sama darling.
In the Franks, all these bangers of shows, you know, they're
very, very small. Oh grimgar.
They're very under under known Studio, though.
They, you know, they're very under the radar.
So yeah, grimgar, but yeah, so that was my bad bad.
Take at a joke. But yeah, so that it's done.
By a very well-funded Studio to so I'm sure it looks good as
well. The animations are crisp.
This is no cap like this. This is not even following the
animations are. It's a beautiful-looking show.
That character designs are great is really the military guy uses
like a military radio. The police detective uses of
police radio like the idol uses like a mic.
That looks like an ice cream cone and like it's so the
scientists has like the Whatsit the Ward like the symbol that's
fuck. It's like a pole.
Like two snakes around it or some shit.
Well, that's comedically. That's the stand for is Mike.
It's so good. So good.
This show. Like I said before, this is what
anime was meant for shows. Like this is incredible.
If you go on YouTube, they have like a full album of the people
doing wraps its cut. They have like an hour and like
tedmed some Fraps from the character.
So they got, like, real rappers from Japan and there's one white
guy who does the raps. It's really interesting just to
see the people who are like behind the scenes on this,
because it's not like typical voice actors.
It's like, legit rappers. It's pretty crazy.
That's absolutely crazy. Anyway, so you said the the mic
is the rod of the rod of asclepius or whatever.
Yeah. Yeah, fucking hilarious.
That is so clever. They don't move away from the
characters designs. Really good like this show.
That is. So it's we are, we are being
completely on ironic right now, like it's good.
This is the watch. Looks like I love him those this
Mike and I think it doesn't look like it's okay.
So every Friday I do the StairMaster at the gym.
I hate it. So, in order to pass the time,
what show do I put on hypnosis mites because I take the show
that gives me the most enjoyment with my least favorite.
Thing in the world, which is the StairMaster.
So it's such a good show. I'm watching it.
Now. I'm putting it on.
I, it's fucking FUNimation again, but you know what, I'll
put in the season. It's like that hypnosis my like
people saying it's anime at. It's like purist.
Like this is straight. Oh, look, I'm gonna just say
like three standout like situations.
Okay, someone there's a there's a Mystery about someone who died
from a necktie, there is a there's a hostage situation
where someone were a group of people get held that Mike Point,
Mike poking up like my point. He straps his body like with
bombs, but instead wolves their microphones this feedback right
here. So this sounds like a show.
Oh, that it's not trying to be like a tell a masterpiece of
Storytelling like a violet ever Garden but instead it's, but
it's still like a classic show in terms of, like, it's just
balls to the wall funny and home entertaining like how cold soup.
Yeah, it's stupid. It's dumb.
It's really well done for the show.
It's and it makes perfect sense. This is the exact same thing.
It's stupid. It's over-the-top.
It makes perfect sense for the show.
That's okay. Yeah.
Let's also about it real quick. Cat, is that?
Every moment that it has this thing where the it's so good, at
putting me into it. And like, what's going on?
When you're like, they'll have sections, where the characters
are just interacting with each other before, like, the action
pops off or whatever. And I'll forget that.
There are no guns in this world. So they'll reach into their
pocket. Like, you're about to pull a
gun. I'll be like, oh shit.
It's about to pop off and ask you to Mike.
And I'm like, yeah, so good. I love this funny cat before we
wrap this one up. So I just want to say that.
I'm probably going to add back to Bob plan to watch list like
because I just can't watch it with my mom, because she will
fight me. No, no kid, No Cap.
This is one of the top 60 piece of the Year.
Top character animation are designed animation itself in
general. It's a obviously it's a great
show. So that's two must watch his
from me and has four. Us Mike.
And our last show of the evening.
We are reviewing the plot. Heavy sport, climbing girls.
That's right. Do you like girls, you like rock
climbing? Well, guess what?
We have another girl's sport show for you.
For me, episode 1, start out exactly how I wanted to show.
It was really cool interaction with how they designed the
characters on how they climb. Like, they're their strategy on
how they do it. I'm like, this is really unique.
This is interesting. Please don't throw tropes into
the show. Guess what they did.
They threw at you tropes. All they have to throw tropes
and the show. They can't let girls play
sports. I hate it.
It's like my biggest thing in anime.
I hate when they have to make girls.
Cute. It's not about the sport.
It's about how cute the girls are in type of thing.
They did it again with this one. They ruined it from the first
episode for me, my first impressions, if you like plot
and you know what, I mean by plot?
You'll probably like this if you like girls in sports, so
probably like this if you're like me where you were just wish
they would let girls play sports like Hani Botto.
Where it's about the sport. You will not like to show off.
For me. This is my I think this is the
first one out of all of us. This is a drop.
I don't think you should watch. Show.
Yeah, so that's me. Pat.
You can since. Wow, you're talking, what's your
first impression of the show? I like, Pete went in.
Hoping it would be more sport heavy than 0 because I'm curious
about how they're going to do rock climbing as a sport.
Not saying it isn't a sport. It takes a lot of skill and
talent. I was saying the like as a
competitive sport to watch though.
I don't understand how they were going to do it, but sure enough
they there. There's ways that they compete
and ways that they challenged. Themselves out there that I
guess are part of your life that they adapted.
I agree that the first episode it for one it really well
animated. Looks great.
Yeah amazing animation like the even and it stays that way
throughout the episodes I've seen.
Which I think there's only three that are out right now, too.
It looks good. The waifus are all good to
unfortunately. I agree that it does go.
I'll take the trophy part really bothered me as much in episode
2, but it's still, I Get the main character her whole thing
is that she was like a puzzle game or like a gamer who dropped
that stuff because it was affecting her grades.
And she wanted to, like find something else to do.
And the way she looks at like rock climbing walls as like a
puzzle game. It's very cool because I, I do
the same thing where I'll apply something in that I've learned
in gaming or like a skill that I've acquired where it's just
like, just like, it might be something important, might be
putting away the dishes or something, but like you come, Up
with like a strategy in your head of how to do it.
I think that is why I like to show a little more.
I like, I can relate to what the way the main character looks at
the puzzles. I guess.
It's very plot heavy. Like you said Pete though, like
the third episode. I was sitting there watching it
and I was just like there's been like three angles where I have
seen the plot as the main focus of this shot and it's really
getting old and it's just like man, I thought the show was
something different. However, I am going to keep
watching it because it is cute girls.
Doing rocket climbing and it is fun.
I liked the character so far, I no way.
Is this getting a anything above like a seven for me though.
Like, there's no way it's climbing.
It's for the studio as well as blade.
They've done seven things total and nothing at all.
I recognize so it's very small Studio.
I don't know, again. The animation is good.
Make the characters are fun. So far little trophy, but they
are fun. I'm going to keep watching.
I think it's it's on that bottom and the like Pete said he's
right, he might drop it. I'm I'm not going to drop it but
it's bottom line of consider it very, very bottom line.
Cat your first impressions. So my first impressions like you
guys first episode fucking was, I was into it.
First of all, it also awakened something in me.
Um, I'm no longer a sexual just Gray.
You gotta, you gotta take a lot of boxes for me to be into you.
So the thing is, this show is just very like, the first
episode. Great, great first episode
second episode. I've been watching it for the
plot. As I said, I gotta say.
Like if like anime girls of muscles is my is my kink.
Like that's it. That's all I got is a good
sitter. Like it's just considered a
while. Watch it's damn near drop but
like I'm probably not going to drop.
It has your first impressions. What is going to be really easy?
Because I unlike you all have culture, right?
I know a thing or two about anime.
Okay, I've watched my fair share.
Um, Cinema is great. It's, it's, you know, what?
It might just be the best anime this season.
Um, Let me let me explain real quick.
If one room season 3. Was not currently airing.
This right here would be animated here.
Me of the decade. I would even say Century but I'm
not sharing animation spans that far back.
Look if you keep dungeons, it does span before 2000.
Yes, at that. Look at that.
Anyways, he said country. He said, yeah, Millennia look
anyways. Everyone here, clicked on to
Sports Rock Climbing girl out of out of obligation because they
are on a mid to high tier anime podcast.
They did not click. Yeah, they did not click on it,
like a normal and it may be or would if you were just browsing
and you saw this you're clicking on it for the plot and exactly
what you expect. Is what you get?
Okay, you're not even a bit more in that first.
That first episode is like a premature ejaculation.
Okay, you get some good stuff that you shouldn't have even
gotten beforehand. Okay, that animation is
beautiful. These women are beautiful and
cute. Okay, and they're doing rock
climbing there. Look, I don't have a kink or
anything. I'm at that.
Get me late. I'm down for whatever.
I'm a slut. What's up?
The the muscles on shoddy gasps. Okay, cat?
Yes. I read a manga about a woman
that you may all know, because I think like anime men, read it,
too. Um, it's called how to treat a
lady Knight, who's never been treated like a female.
Right? Right.
I've watched that shit religiously since it's dropped
or read it. Okay.
This is that. But Okay, this is all climbing
and girls that I could relate to and I just got out of high
school. Okay.
This is is I wish my if there was a rock climbing club and
just watch it be horny on you man.
Yeah, do you don't let them put you down?
Don't let them shame you. We're not getting at see this
season. The way we should or ecchi shows
are all these three minute Owen days which by the way or gas
pack? Okay.
Yeah, that's that's a good. We're still waiting on High
School season five high school of dad is never coming back.
Rest in peace. Yeah, what do we have?
I'll take what I could get. Okay Girls Bravo season 31, why
does one room have three seasons?
But I can't get any other show that I like to get a second
season. Why why am I here doing this?
God? Damn it.
Watch it. It's a must The my ass though.
Why does this have? There's only I just looked it
up. There's only four volumes of
manga for this. That the source is a manga by
the way, no score. Score not applicable on Mal
apparently as well because I don't even it's either not out
or it's already done after four volumes of it existing.
So like, how does this get an animated?
Like, you know, like I so many other things.
I don't understand. Well, no, because I get because
of the plot but like, you know, there's So many other shows, or
Manga out there that you would think would get a an adaptation,
this to try to sell more manga than this.
I don't know. Again.
It's just so weird to me. I wonder what the business
decision was. That's all web manga.
Okay, I'll say it could be a thing like darling.
The Franks were like, they made the manga after the anime.
Yeah, I wonder if. So, how do you sell this in a
business meeting though? How do you say?
I want to make a rock-climbing anime without any Source or one?
Interest one way. Look we got chicks.
They got muscles. They climb, we get panty shots.
There's no they're over there. Yes.
Well not panty shots. There's a shots and it was all
very blatant in episode 3. That's what I was saying about
episode 3. I was just like, all right, we
get it. This is like the fourth time,
you've had. Okay, they're working out, but
the angle is if you're looking at my little webcam port or
screen in it. It, this half of the screen is a
girl's ass and then the other half is the in the background
and the woman of the other cast rest of the cast working out.
That's what those shots were like where I was just like, all
right, we get it, like this is fancy like move on, please.
It's cinematography. I don't, yeah, you're right.
You're right. It is good direction.
I'll give him that. Yeah, they make things.
Move in directions. Okay, so that's one drop one
must watch and to consider. For sports climbing girls.
That is going to wrap up our first impressions of fall 2020.
