1
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:11,920
Home me now. 
I'm finally fulfilled. 

2
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:16,040
This is what my heart's been 
waiting for. 

3
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:17,880
Home me now. 
I'm. 

4
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:22,400
Finally fulfilled pick. 
Me up to dance and pick me up 

5
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:24,720
again 'cause I. 
Hello, ladies and gentlemen, 

6
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:27,560
welcome to Anime watch club, a 
biweekly group discussion and 

7
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:28,920
reviewer. 
The host of the way see anime 

8
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,040
podcast nominate involvement 
shows either we haven't seen our

9
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:33,560
show, so hopefully to a great 
discussion. 

10
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:35,800
Let's take this episode, the Yao
Yao nice fan club. 

11
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:39,080
We'll be reviewing the 2026 
anime medalist Season 2. 

12
00:00:39,480 --> 00:00:42,480
Let's toss over the PAT for a 
quick synopsis rundown and then 

13
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,760
we will be diving into the 
conversation. 

14
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,960
Yeah, All right, well, as as 
Pete said, we're watching Yowie 

15
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:54,360
on Ice Season 2 aired in winter 
of 2026, done by Studio Ng, I 

16
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:58,120
believe is how you'd say that 
source from a manga, genres of 

17
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:01,520
drama, sports, forming arts. 
And it's a sign and I have 

18
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,360
forgot about that. 
And I think I said the same 

19
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,960
exact thing when we did season 1
of Ya Ya, nice that I forgot it 

20
00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:09,880
was a sign in. 
So yeah, let's get right into 

21
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:14,600
it's only 9 episodes compared to
the usual 12, so not as much 

22
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:18,160
content to spoil, but spoiler 
free I guess. 

23
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,920
First first impressions Miles, 
why don't you start us off? 

24
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,880
And would you recommend season 2
after we've all watched season 1

25
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,160
at this point? 
Yeah, so season 1 was one of my 

26
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,720
favorite, if not my favorite 
anime from last year. 

27
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:37,200
I'm a big medalist fan. 
This season is fine. 

28
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,440
That's that's sort of my first 
impression on it. 

29
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:42,640
I think it's OK. 
I think it's a pretty big step 

30
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,560
down from season 1. 
I just don't think the 

31
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:49,480
narratives and stuff are as good
or they're recycled. 

32
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:54,200
In the same way that that Pete 
doesn't like it when they use a 

33
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,200
song more than once. 
I don't. 

34
00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:00,200
I don't like it when they use a 
a moral in a sports anime more 

35
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:04,320
than once. 
You already learned that lesson.

36
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,840
Stop it. 
Yeah, exactly. 

37
00:02:08,199 --> 00:02:13,640
It's I need everything resolved 
and neat. 24 minute bite sized 

38
00:02:13,920 --> 00:02:16,360
manners. 
Would I recommend it? 

39
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,160
Yeah, I guess because like, I'm 
going to be relatively mean to 

40
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:24,880
this anime compared to well, 
definitely compared to what I 

41
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,360
did for season 1. 
But I also think compared to 

42
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:31,560
like the general public. 
But I also think like at the end

43
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,720
of the day, it's 9 episodes. 
I think they knew they didn't 

44
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,640
really have a lot to work with 
here and they, you know, they 

45
00:02:36,640 --> 00:02:41,040
could have made this 6 or 4 
episodes or something and it 

46
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,240
would have been fine. 
But, you know, I, I think they, 

47
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,400
they cut it reasonably well. 
And what's coming up is 

48
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:52,040
hopefully going to be, you know,
exciting and good, well put 

49
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,760
together. 
So, you know, I, I, in the sense

50
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,120
that it, it gets the story from 
here to there and it's not a 

51
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,720
large investment. 
I, I would recommend it because 

52
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,560
I still have faith in, in 
medalist as a, as a work. 

53
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,440
I think that, you know, not 
everything is meant to be cut 

54
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,400
into little bits for anime, you 
know, as it's adapted. 

55
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:15,600
And I think that this nine 
episode sequences, proof of 

56
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,600
that. 
That's my personal take. 

57
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,200
Oh, there you go. 
There we go. 

58
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,480
All right, Pete, what about you?
I won't be the exact opposite of

59
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:29,200
Miles because I thought this was
AI would say a big step up, but 

60
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,720
I thought like just how they 
presented what they were 

61
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,560
presenting in Season 2 was 
fantastic. 

62
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,200
It remind me a lot of when we go
into different seasons of like 

63
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:42,560
High Q, for instance, where the 
interpersonal aspect of the show

64
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,880
is sort of secondary, where is 
more focused in the first season

65
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,440
and we're actually more focused 
on the sports elements in this 

66
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,480
season. 
And it's something that I like 

67
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:55,200
because we kind of already got 
introduced to sort of the setup 

68
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,520
of where Inori is going to go in
her journey. 

69
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,520
So now we get to see the 
journey. 

70
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,720
And with that is the the trials 
and tribulations, the the 

71
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:08,280
hurdles that she has to jump 
through or jump over or spin 

72
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,440
over. 
And I think we got a great 

73
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:14,160
introduction to that in this 
season, especially episodes like

74
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:19,839
2 where were Expo dump type of 
episodes normally are pretty 

75
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,640
boring. 
I found it like fascinating 

76
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,800
learning more about like what 
tournament ice skating is like, 

77
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,560
how it's structured, how you 
earn points, how you can earn 

78
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,560
more points, how you can lose 
points, like what's important 

79
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:35,240
about that and really dive into 
the sports aspect of ice 

80
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,560
skating. 
And so that's what I appreciated

81
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,360
from what season 2 brought to 
the table. 

82
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,000
I would absolutely recommend 
this. 

83
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,360
I thought this was one of the 
best seasons of sports anime 

84
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:45,840
I've ever seen. 
I thought it was incredible, 

85
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:51,240
absolutely incredible. 
This is interesting if hey, if 

86
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,280
you guys don't Pat, you need to 
give your first impressions. 

87
00:04:53,280 --> 00:04:56,600
I have an impromptu first 
discussion point though, based 

88
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,400
on what Pete said. 
OK, OK, well, yeah, let me let 

89
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,000
me do those first impressions 
quick then. 

90
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,720
Some of us were very high on the
show. 

91
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,360
Others were very low or middling
on it. 

92
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:08,880
I'm somewhere right in the 
middle. 

93
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:13,040
So it works perfectly. 
I'm I'm the I am the Middle 

94
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:14,960
East, the Middle. 
East. 

95
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,720
Yeah, I was mad at them until I 
watched it, and then I was like,

96
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:24,560
wow, they were kind of spitting.
Were they saying that as I, I'm 

97
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:25,960
Yeah. 
People be People were saying 

98
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,720
that as a. 
Joke and he gave it A9. 

99
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,360
I do apologize to people who 
were saying that because I I was

100
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,880
mad, but they were right. 
I love it. 

101
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:36,800
I love it. 
Yeah. 

102
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,840
So I'm somewhere in the middle 
between those two reviews of 

103
00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:42,280
very different types. 
I it's weird. 

104
00:05:42,280 --> 00:05:45,120
Like I'm sitting here like I I 
really am glad I watched it. 

105
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:50,800
I want more, but I also feel 
like this was a maybe a slight 

106
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:55,080
step down from season 1 and 
doesn't feel like on its own 

107
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,640
would have very much merit. 
Is the big thing like that. 

108
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,680
I don't think that these 9 
episodes, if it was our first, 

109
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:06,960
like the first season alone, 
like say stand alone with that 

110
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,320
without anything else added to 
it, I don't think it would be 

111
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,120
that great, which isn't fair, of
course, to the show. 

112
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,240
But I'm saying that more in the 
sense of like how to rate this 

113
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,680
specific season of it. 
Like it feels like it should 

114
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:17,920
have been attached to the first 
season. 

115
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,240
I don't understand. 
I know we kind of conceded this 

116
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:25,400
already to where you can't 
really control what gets made 

117
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:29,640
into an anime or, or how it gets
split up, but hey, I can't 

118
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:31,680
control my rating sometimes 
either, apparently. 

119
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,840
So, you know, I'm. 
Yeah, we'll talk about that. 

120
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,120
No, I can't. 
It just happens, you know, 

121
00:06:39,280 --> 00:06:41,200
sometimes. 
Sometimes you hit the triple sow

122
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,000
chow and other times you don't. 
I know that's not how you say 

123
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:45,320
it. 
By the way, before anyone gets 

124
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:49,280
at me, I'm just a, I'm just a 
hockey guy at heart having my 

125
00:06:49,280 --> 00:06:50,600
fun. 
Yeah, I don't know. 

126
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,360
We'll talk about it more, I 
think, because that is a pretty 

127
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,080
contentious point of ours. 
But I'm somewhere in the middle 

128
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:57,720
where I, I still enjoyed it 
quite a bit. 

129
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,840
And I look forward to the movie.
I believe Pete said before we 

130
00:07:00,840 --> 00:07:04,800
started recording is coming as 
the next segment and I I just 

131
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,400
yeah, it felt like it and it 
abruptly is is how I felt. 

132
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,040
But I would still recommend it. 
If you like medalist, you'll 

133
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,320
still enjoy it enough I think to
like it and want more. 

134
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,400
So yeah, there we go. 
That's three recommends ish, 

135
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:21,160
sort of we'll say for for medal 
or sorry. 

136
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:25,600
Yeah, we on ice season 2 miles 
you would normally do a 

137
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,880
synopsis, but I don't really 
feel like that's necessary with 

138
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,080
a second season. 
We're just kicking things off 

139
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,720
right where we left off. 
So why don't we get right into 

140
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:33,920
our first discussion point? 
I'm. 

141
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,480
Just going to give like a 5 
second synopsis. 

142
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,280
She's trying to qualify for the 
All Japan novice tournament so 

143
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,840
that she can skate against the 
crew. 

144
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,600
That's that's the goal of the 
season. 

145
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:49,280
Qualify for that. 
So my I guess, like my first 

146
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,640
discussion topic is, and I'm 
curious. 

147
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,240
I I think Pete and I are on 
different spectrums of this. 

148
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,600
So I want us both to give our 
our takes and then pad, I want 

149
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,160
you, you can fill into we've all
we've all played sports before. 

150
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,520
If you're watching sports media,
you know, an anime, a movie, 

151
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:12,400
whatever it may be, How much do 
you want the technical aspects 

152
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:17,800
of that sport? 
Explain to you like the basic 

153
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:23,320
technical, the parts of it, you 
know, like how the scoring works

154
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:24,600
for jumps and like things like 
that. 

155
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,560
Because the answer that I have 
is basically none. 

156
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,200
I don't want any. 
I don't don't take any air time 

157
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,880
up with that. 
Everyone who is participating in

158
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,640
this knows how this works, 
right? 

159
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,640
And it always takes me out when 
they one way or the other 

160
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,679
shoehorn in someone who doesn't 
know anything about skating or 

161
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,720
volleyball or basketball or 
whatever. 

162
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,760
And it's like what happens when 
you make a layup and then they 

163
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:54,080
explain what layups are and then
there's like a 45 second to 

164
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:59,880
two-minute explanation like 
Wikipedia exists and I will look

165
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:04,080
it up if I need to know how, how
this stuff sort of works. 

166
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:08,320
You know, I, I just, it always 
takes me out when they, when 

167
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:12,760
they do these like dive 
explanations on like whatever, 

168
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,120
because it just sort of feels 
like I'm watching a documentary 

169
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:20,280
instead of like a drama for 
whatever period of of time it is

170
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,480
now. 
Pete, you like this, obviously. 

171
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,880
I really did. 
Yeah, well, like I mean you like

172
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:30,680
this like device, right where 
they they go in on like the 

173
00:09:30,680 --> 00:09:34,040
sports stuff, so. 
Yeah, 'cause it's I'm. 

174
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:35,560
Assuming. 
It's one of those things where 

175
00:09:35,560 --> 00:09:39,560
like they you have to find a way
to explain it to the audience. 

176
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,600
And I think just the default way
of doing that is let's have a 

177
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,960
character in the show not 
understand it so that way we can

178
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,600
explain it to the audience. 
And why I do think it's like 

179
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,680
lazy. 
I think it's necessary. 

180
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,760
And so it's, it's more of how 
you present that information 

181
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,480
rather than just like the setup.
And what I liked it with 

182
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:02,280
Medalist is that when they were 
doing the Expo dump in episode 

183
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:07,680
2, they were using like fun 
colorful graphs to like showcase

184
00:10:07,680 --> 00:10:11,600
how different like types of 
moves fall into this category. 

185
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:15,000
And then doing it this way 
results in this many points. 

186
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,640
And it was more structured in a 
way for me to understand rather 

187
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:20,320
than just somebody telling me 
it. 

188
00:10:20,560 --> 00:10:23,920
They were also showing me it in 
like graphs and then the 

189
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,320
visualizations of like the jumps
and the moves that they were 

190
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,320
doing. 
So it's, well, I guess it's, 

191
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,960
it's one of these things it's 
like, are you watching medalist 

192
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:37,880
for the cast or are you watching
Medalist as well for the sports 

193
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:39,720
aspects? 
Because I think if you are 

194
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,960
watching this for the sports 
aspect, it's necessary because 

195
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,120
it's a type of sports that I 
don't think many people 

196
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,360
understand the scoring here. 
Or it's something that it's I 

197
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,320
think it's something like 
basketball where even if you've 

198
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,120
never played basketball before, 
you know, if the ball goes in 

199
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,280
the hoop, you get points. 
Maybe you don't know how many 

200
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,480
points or repercussions if you 
get fouled, that type of thing. 

201
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:03,160
But you know those score points 
with ice skating. 

202
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:08,000
I don't know if a backflip is 
worth more than triple salcow or

203
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,760
whatever Pat called it. 
I don't know if it's is a double

204
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:15,960
axle spinny thing. 
More points than you know your 

205
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,120
dance routine. 
Like I don't know that stuff. 

206
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:22,480
So if I'm watching the show and 
I'm seeing people perform their 

207
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,840
moves, I want to know be like, 
oh, that was a triple axle 

208
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,920
that's worth 9 points. 
That's cool. 

209
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,080
Like I know that because if I if
they don't tell me that, I don't

210
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:35,040
know that. 
Backflips were banned until like

211
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:39,320
2 years ago by the way. 
Like I am pretty sure when 

212
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:43,120
medalist was being written. 
Like June is basically like do a

213
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,920
backflip now. 
That is an insanely dangerous 

214
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:50,040
thing to do. 
That context is pretty important

215
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:53,280
I guess, for that scene. 
It makes sense because Judah is 

216
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,240
insane. 
Yes. 

217
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:01,080
It it's not allowed in like in 
competitions as. 

218
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,280
It wasn't allowed in competition
until 2024. 

219
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,800
And and you're scoring too, you 
know, like even like the the 

220
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,000
quad God does it, but it doesn't
give him any points. 

221
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,440
It's just, it's the same as if 
he just skated backwards in 

222
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:16,640
real. 
We're talking real life there. 

223
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,000
But yeah, it's a, it's a very 
interesting. 

224
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,800
Thing that's interesting. 
Yeah, he does. 

225
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,600
He literally would. 
Yeah, it's he he does it because

226
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,720
he wants to. 
He's he's incredibly based. 

227
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:27,920
I wish he performed. 
Better at the end of this Boone 

228
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:29,040
of ice skating. 
Got it. 

229
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,440
I like Benson Boone. 
I like, I like that song. 

230
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:39,080
I, I, I, I have to, I have to 
admit it's it's fun and I like 

231
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,120
the sample because it's a great 
song. 

232
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,280
Olivia Newton John. 
Anyways, to circle back to 

233
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:48,560
Miles's question, I don't know 
if this is a fair answer to your

234
00:12:48,560 --> 00:12:51,520
question, but when I know what 
the sport is, I hate it when 

235
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,160
they do exposition dumping. 
And when I don't know what the 

236
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,360
sport is, I love it when they do
the exposition dumping. 

237
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,680
And and so this is a great 
example where like, yeah, I know

238
00:13:00,680 --> 00:13:02,800
how to skate. 
So I'm I'm glad that I think 

239
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,200
they did in season 1, but 
they're not like talking about 

240
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,120
the technical intricacies of how
you stand on a skate because a 

241
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,680
skate blade. 
Fun little fact, little peek 

242
00:13:10,680 --> 00:13:14,120
behind the curtains here for you
guys that don't skate, it's not 

243
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,120
one blade. 
It's or it's not and edge it's 

244
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:23,200
it's it's almost like a a 
tunnel, like a like a like a 

245
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,480
tunnel under a hill. 
The the shape on the bottom of 

246
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,000
the blade. 
If you really zoom in on it, 

247
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,320
it's a very cool little little 
thing that you know, you 

248
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,280
wouldn't know by looking at you 
think that's just like a knife 

249
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,720
blade or whatever. 
So in this case, in this show, I

250
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,640
thought that, like what Pete 
said, they did a good job with 

251
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:41,520
the exposition in the sense of 
making it interesting visually 

252
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:45,920
as well as explaining like 
vocally like, and making the 

253
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:49,440
sport make sense to someone that
understands the difficulty of it

254
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,920
but doesn't understand the 
technical, the literal technical

255
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:53,080
scoring. 
So I thought that they did a 

256
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,680
good job of it in the show. 
But yeah, if you're a figure 

257
00:13:55,680 --> 00:13:59,080
skater, you're probably sitting 
there like, well, actually they 

258
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,280
were wrong about X, this, this, 
this, this and that point. 

259
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,680
In the same way that I sit there
and I watch freaking Blue Lock, 

260
00:14:05,680 --> 00:14:07,320
which I don't watch Blue Lock, 
by the way. 

261
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,880
But I hear about Blue Locker. 
I hear you guys talk about it. 

262
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:13,120
And I'm like, this is the worst.
Like, what do you mean? 

263
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:14,800
This is not how soccer is 
played. 

264
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,200
This is not how you play this 
sport. 

265
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,480
That's intentional, and it's 
like the point of. 

266
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,240
True, true, that is the point of
blue log. 

267
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,080
OK, maybe that was a bad 
example, but then. 

268
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,880
I don't know, I understand. 
Any other sport, any any other 

269
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:28,120
sport like the golf. 
All right, fine. 

270
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,080
Birdie wing. 
Oh my God, no, I'm doing it 

271
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:31,360
again. 
Birdie wing is not supposed to 

272
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,560
be real golf either, right? 
No, But yeah, it's just like, 

273
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:38,240
that's not like the second you 
know something about it, it's 

274
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,360
like, wait a minute, that's 
that's not right. 

275
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,000
And that was that. 
Why are you wasting my time with

276
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,640
this BS that isn't correct. 
You know, I don't know. 

277
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,800
I think they do a good job of, 
of blending it in. 

278
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,920
And I liked the little tease 
too, that it was like, Oh, well,

279
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,200
they're explaining it because 
it's a little girl who has no 

280
00:14:54,200 --> 00:15:00,080
idea what's going on, and then a
guy who's too busy working to do

281
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:04,320
anything else but work needing 
to understand something, even 

282
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,680
though it's a little weird that 
he didn't go once to or, or like

283
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,000
sit there watching it with his 
daughter or his. 

284
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:10,840
Wife. 
It's his wife. 

285
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:15,480
Yeah, like, never watched him 
once throughout his competing 

286
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,680
days, but you know, whatever. 
Absent fathers are a thing, 

287
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,600
apparently, right? 
So even though he's not his dad 

288
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:22,480
either. 
I don't know, I'm. 

289
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,120
I'm talking too much. 
Does that answer your question 

290
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:28,320
though, Miles? 
Yeah, I think that makes sense. 

291
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,920
I, I don't know, I, I just sort 
of always wish they would do 

292
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,920
things in the way where like you
pick up bits and pieces of it as

293
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:40,400
it goes on via like more natural
conversations people would have 

294
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:45,200
like, OK, we're going to do this
because this scores more, you 

295
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:49,200
know, than that, but not as 
opposed to like explaining it 

296
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,760
and then talking about in a, in 
a way. 

297
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,520
The. 
Coaches together do that a 

298
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:59,240
little bit. 
I feel like I just, I, I don't 

299
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:00,960
know, To me, there was just too 
much. 

300
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,040
Yeah, I don't know, focus on the
sport. 

301
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:08,520
I don't. 
No, I totally, I totally get it.

302
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,560
But you're not wrong. 
They do focus on the sport a 

303
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,840
lot, but. 
Yeah, you know, like. 

304
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,320
I this is, This is why I don't 
watch sports anime. 

305
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,320
I watch sports, you know, and 
then I get to watch the sports I

306
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,720
want to watch. 
So I I thought I liked it I 

307
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,200
guess. 
I I feel like this isn't the 

308
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,360
point in time that I want them 
to focus on the sport because 

309
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:33,200
this is not a point in time and 
Nori can lose, right? 

310
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:38,920
Like, I think a lot of it is 
that like this particular 

311
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:43,720
competition was like narratively
a little predetermined. 

312
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:44,520
That's. 
Fair. 

313
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:50,640
You know, and so that way I wish
they were like doing more on 

314
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:54,000
like the personal stuff. 
And then once you get to like 

315
00:16:55,800 --> 00:17:01,440
more top level skaters, right, 
once you're in, you know, I 

316
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,000
mean, if I had to guess the plot
of medalist, right, Anori. 

317
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:11,680
So after you win novice, if 
you're top 4A novice nationals, 

318
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:16,520
you get invited to junior 
nationals, which is like the age

319
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,480
up. 
And we met those people, I think

320
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:24,119
pretty early on in this season, 
including the one girl who lost 

321
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,960
to Hikaru because she got 
invited after winning novice. 

322
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:34,560
This is this is reminds me of 
Glee how land the shit miles. 

323
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:40,760
So there's a bit in the show 
community, there's an episode 

324
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,280
that is based on Glee. 
It is it is very funny. 

325
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:49,240
The the Mr. Shu stand in ends up
having killed the last Glee club

326
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,240
to try to get the the main 
characters community in because 

327
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,800
they were better at singing. 
But regardless, a running joke 

328
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:59,280
through that is we need to 
qualify for regionals and 

329
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,440
everyone's like, what what does 
regionals mean? 

330
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:02,640
And everyone was like, I don't 
know. 

331
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,120
But after that is, you know, 
sectionals and then it's 

332
00:18:05,120 --> 00:18:08,120
nationals and then it and it 
just never stops. 

333
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,360
And we're always qualifying for 
a tournament. 

334
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:12,640
And I don't know, I had a little
bit of that. 

335
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,800
So what you're talking is you 
want them to Expo dump the 

336
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:21,200
tournament structure. 
I probably could have used some 

337
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:25,320
Expo dump of the tournament 
structure I. 

338
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,960
I also agree with that. 
I could use it. 

339
00:18:30,120 --> 00:18:33,040
I could use it too, 'cause I'm 
like, we literally started this 

340
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,160
episode and this, we started 
this episode asking this 

341
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,680
question and we were talking 
about this before we started 

342
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:42,280
recording as well. 
When is nationals or how many? 

343
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,400
How far away are we from like 
nationals or? 

344
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:48,680
From we are like where are we in
OK, but there are levels to 

345
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:54,480
nationals that are age based. 
So Inori is in nationals right 

346
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,440
now. 
At the end of the season she she

347
00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:01,080
won her regional, she got into 
nationals and then if she is top

348
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:05,760
4IN what she is in which is 
called novice nationals, she 

349
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:10,680
gets invited to participate in 
junior nationals, which is like 

350
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:17,400
the next higher age bracket. 
Hikaru, I believe, won junior 

351
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:22,120
nationals last year and also 
novice nationals. 

352
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:26,200
But this was a point that I 
believe gets made early on in 

353
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,720
this season when Anori is going 
to like that first tournament 

354
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:33,600
she went to early on. 
And those like older girls come 

355
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:37,160
in who are like the Olympic 
hopefuls or whatever. 

356
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,600
And you know, she's like, how do
I, how do I get to the Olympics?

357
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:43,000
But one of those people was like
upset because he grew, I think 

358
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:47,600
beat her in the junior nationals
tournament. 

359
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:54,400
But there's another nationals 
tournament after that, which is.

360
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,560
And This is why I needed the 
Expo dump not to tell me how 

361
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:02,280
fucking the scores work. 
Because I if you do more twirly 

362
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,880
things, it's worth more. 
I can figure that one out. 

363
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,120
Not necessarily true. 
Not true. 

364
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:11,400
Also not about to say. 
It depends on the type of twirly

365
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,000
thing you're doing and da da da 
da da. 

366
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:18,840
But why are there two different 
national BRAC the circuits? 

367
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:22,160
I'm not, I'm unsure. 
Why does the junior why does the

368
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:27,520
junior that wins the top five 
there get to supersede the next 

369
00:20:28,120 --> 00:20:30,600
every other person that's a year
older than them and 

370
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:35,400
automatically qualify for the 
the the the June the next age is

371
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,120
up championship? 
That's insane. 

372
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:41,680
It it? 
Well, it's to promote young 

373
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:43,720
talent is what I'm assuming it 
is. 

374
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:50,160
OK, Why doesn't the why doesn't 
the AAA baseball team that wins 

375
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,640
AAA get to play in the MLB 
playoffs? 

376
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:53,280
You know what I mean? 
Like. 

377
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,720
Actually, that's how soccer 
works. 

378
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:59,400
Yeah, it's relegation. 
No, that's OK. 

379
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:00,320
It kind of is. 
It's. 

380
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:07,040
Not no, because they would. 
You don't get promoted if like a

381
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,360
team in the this would be like 
if a team in the championship 

382
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:13,120
finished with 100 points and got
promoted and like finished top 

383
00:21:13,120 --> 00:21:15,800
of the league in the 
championship and then made it to

384
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,480
the Premier League, the next 
step up. 

385
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,600
And oh, the top Premier League 
team had 95 points. 

386
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,840
Oh, you guys are the Champions 
of the Premier League too. 

387
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,560
If it would feel like to me or, 
or oh, you finished top 4, you 

388
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,000
would have finished top 4 if you
were in the Premier League. 

389
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,040
Like I, I guess my point is it's
like they don't instead of 

390
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,480
having to compete, they they get
to qualify for the same 

391
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:38,080
tournament that the juniors get 
to or, or that the the age group

392
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,680
above them gets to without 
having to face the same 

393
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,240
competition or scoring 
requirements. 

394
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:47,440
Maybe is a better way to put it 
as the group ahead of them does,

395
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:51,200
You know, like I does that not. 
This is how I, this is how I 

396
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,520
picture think of it like when 
you were playing hockey or 

397
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,400
whatever, like you had like with
like Bantams, you had like 

398
00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:00,320
Bantam B, Bantam A and then 
after that it was like whatever 

399
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,400
JV or something like that. 
I don't know how your structure 

400
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,280
work, but it's essentially 
something along the lines of 

401
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:10,720
what I feel like it is, is that 
if you're 12, you are competing 

402
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:14,680
at this bracket, but if you're 
10 and you're good enough, you 

403
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:18,000
can move up and compete with the
12 year olds, but the 12 year 

404
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:19,640
olds can't go the opposite 
direction. 

405
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,880
And that's kind of what it feels
like because that's kind of like

406
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:26,840
how our sports is structured. 
We're like if you're good enough

407
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,720
and you're young enough, you can
play up, but if you're old 

408
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:31,600
enough and bad enough, you don't
play down. 

409
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:34,920
Right, I guess that makes sense 
from like a full season 

410
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:36,520
perspective. 
I just thought it was weird that

411
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:41,880
they like go from oh, you win 
your ages championship, that 

412
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,600
means you're also going to 
compete against the Champions of

413
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,520
the other ages above you's 
championship. 

414
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,200
That's where I I thought that. 
Was kind of good against the 

415
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,040
Champions. 
You're competing in their 

416
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:55,720
tournament, right? 
So you like the the four best 

417
00:22:55,720 --> 00:23:00,000
novices get to compete against 
however many people are in the 

418
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:05,120
junior, junior nationals. 
It's basically like you get some

419
00:23:05,120 --> 00:23:07,200
because you're the best of your 
age group. 

420
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,240
You get some more exposure and 
you get to compete at a higher 

421
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,640
level and everything, especially
with something like figure 

422
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:18,360
skating where you know, people 
who are, you know, they, they 

423
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,720
keep beating this home. 
Like you start how early you 

424
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,000
start training and how early 
you're put on these like Olympic

425
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,760
tracks and everything. 
You know, it's kind of like, 

426
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,200
it's not the same. 
But you know how like EPL teams 

427
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,800
will like sign people at like 13
and just like shove them in an 

428
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:36,080
Academy and they probably get to
play against people who are like

429
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:39,600
way fucking better than them and
like older than 13 or whatever. 

430
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:44,240
But because, yeah, it's that 
sort of thing, I guess, just 

431
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:48,800
slightly more structured in a 
national bracket type of deal. 

432
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:52,560
I guess that makes it make a 
little more sense. 

433
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,840
And and then they, yeah, it's 
more it's an extra tournament 

434
00:23:55,840 --> 00:24:00,640
that they get to do, not they 
skip up to the next level at the

435
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:02,920
Yeah, they, yeah. 
'Cause if they're still like, 

436
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,920
'cause he grew, is still doing 
novices this year, right? 

437
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,680
Because she is in that age 
bracket, she still has to do 

438
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:10,840
that. 
But if she wins, she gets to go 

439
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,240
to the Pro Bowl for novices, 
which is the junior tournament 

440
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:14,400
basically. 
You know, it's like pro. 

441
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,360
Bowl for novices I like. 
That, yeah, except for people 

442
00:24:17,360 --> 00:24:21,040
take it seriously. 
People used to take the Pro Bowl

443
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:25,280
seriously. 
Not since I've been watching it.

444
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:26,560
It's been. 
A long time. 

445
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,640
It's been a long outside, but it
did used to take it seriously. 

446
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:34,920
Not in the last 20 years, but 
yeah, that, that's the, the 

447
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:39,400
general structure they're going 
at which I don't know. 

448
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,400
I I guess we were all like a 
little confused by it. 

449
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:45,800
Could have used that. 
Apparently the exposition. 

450
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:47,520
Well OK, but see this comes back
to my thing. 

451
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,760
Why do I know this? 
Because of my theory of just 

452
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:55,920
Google it, see they didn't need 
to explain it because I just, I 

453
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,160
just, you know, I was like, oh, 
I wonder how this works. 

454
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:02,080
And then I typed in, you know, 
Japanese figure skating 

455
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:03,760
tournament brackets and stuff 
like. 

456
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,960
I feel like you need a healthy 
mix of both if you want. 

457
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:08,560
I feel like it needs to be you 
do you you. 

458
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,400
Do need some both right? 
Like you do need both. 

459
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:15,840
Let me see this what what it 
like what it presented in the 

460
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,320
show like did did it like make 
sense? 

461
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,320
Did you understand it? 
Did you comprehend it? 

462
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,200
Like I think that is what's 
important. 

463
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:27,600
Then sort of like what they did.
I, I, I wish you guys watched 

464
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,840
the new Jujitsu Kaizen season 
because there's literally an 

465
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:34,120
episode devoted to the rules of 
the game that they have for the 

466
00:25:34,120 --> 00:25:35,520
season. 
And people just lost their 

467
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,920
fucking mind that they had to 
read in anime. 

468
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:40,760
So it's like it always goes back
to this. 

469
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,520
It's just like, can you guys 
take like an episode of just 

470
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,520
chill? 
So you're OK? 

471
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:50,280
Wait, so Pete, you're a very big
fan of Fate 0 episode 1? 

472
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,000
Yeah, I mean, walking around the
the chairs is cool, right? 

473
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,360
Yeah, I mean, yeah. 
And explaining the rules of the 

474
00:25:57,360 --> 00:25:59,520
game. 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 

475
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,320
Yeah, yeah, it's fun. 
I think it's dull as fuck. 

476
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:06,000
I'll figure it out. 
It is, but it is like like like 

477
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,240
if you run down a piece of paper
like what happened in that 

478
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,120
episode, it's like 2 people 
walked around the chair and 

479
00:26:11,120 --> 00:26:13,840
explained the rules. 
Like it sounds dumb as shit. 

480
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,440
But then when I watch it, I'm 
like, oh, interesting. 

481
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,000
I don't know. 
It's, it's hard to describe. 

482
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:22,920
It's it's about how you present 
it, not like what it is. 

483
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:24,960
Yeah and no. 
And I. 

484
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,400
Mean, I do agree there's 
definitely, there's definitely 

485
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,280
some of that. 
I I just, I don't know, I just 

486
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:35,320
like for media, I like to get 
like just sort of dive in, you 

487
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,920
know what I mean? 
Like for a game that I get to 

488
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:41,800
play in some capacity, I will 
listen to people talk about the 

489
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:46,240
rules for like ever. 
But but to me, it's like if I 

490
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,680
really cared about ice skating, 
I would watch ice skating. 

491
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:55,200
Oh, Chicago Fire. 
It just just, it just dives in. 

492
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:56,560
Just dives in. 
Like it doesn't. 

493
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:58,040
Who cares? 
Just here you go. 

494
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,280
You know, they're in Chicago and
they're battling fires. 

495
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:01,840
You would love that show. 
You know what's good? 

496
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,640
It wasn't me this time. 
Yeah, it wasn't me this time. 

497
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,040
I just want to throw it out 
there that it wasn't me we 

498
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:09,960
haven't brought. 
Chicago Fire in a minute. 

499
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:11,320
So hey. 
Yo, it is. 

500
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:14,240
It's this cat hasn't been here 
to bring up Reno 911 or not 

501
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:15,360
Reno. 
Oh, I was like, what? 

502
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,080
Not Reno. 
What's it called 911? 

503
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,400
It's just called 9. 1911 
Lodestar. 

504
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,400
Lone Star is the Rob Lowe one. 
Yes, yes, yes. 

505
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:27,040
But I what I really took away 
from the last like 10 minutes of

506
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:32,840
our discussion about basically 
nothing was for being or not not

507
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,640
not Medalist, I should say 
specifically at least. 

508
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:39,960
Or ya ya nice is that Miles is 
giving me consent to have my 

509
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,800
phone out at the movie theater 
Googling things while I'm 

510
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,480
watching the Medalist movie when
it comes to the States next 

511
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:45,960
time. 
No. 

512
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,480
OK, but the medalist movie is 
going to be 1 tournament, right?

513
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:54,040
So you're good unless the 
Medalist movie is really bad and

514
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:55,280
then it will be more than one 
turn. 

515
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:58,120
Better not I'd be it's. 
Going to be Breaking Dawn Part 1

516
00:27:58,120 --> 00:28:00,120
and 2. 
Like split it up. 

517
00:28:00,120 --> 00:28:02,000
It's the two. 
Things this is even going to be 

518
00:28:02,360 --> 00:28:05,080
like a Netflix movie. 
This is a featured film. 

519
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:09,840
Like it better be fucking good. 
Yeah, but it's like, you know 

520
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,440
how we don't have that last 
haiku movie out, but you know 

521
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:14,960
how they're they're like really 
shoving a lot of stuff in there.

522
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,720
Yeah. 
Like that is my I guess 

523
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:23,400
theoretical concern if if they 
want to medalist the medalist 

524
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,600
movie will be one tournament 
unless it is bad is what I that 

525
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:30,360
I'm sticking to it. 
How far into the future? 

526
00:28:30,360 --> 00:28:33,960
Not to peek too far behind the 
curtain, but like how much 

527
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:35,800
further ahead is the manga? 
Is it finished? 

528
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,680
Are we gonna look at 2 year time
skip in the manga where they're 

529
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,600
at right now? 
Where they're at, it's one. 

530
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,480
It's one or two. 
It's it's not that much further 

531
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:47,960
into the future right now. 
But I'm sad. 

532
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,640
Stuff definitely happens. 
They started they started 

533
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:54,280
foreshadowing some of the like 
coaching changes and team 

534
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:58,560
changes that'll be happening in 
the future this season in the 

535
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:03,640
way that, Oh my God, the season 
is what's the database anime 

536
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:05,840
Pete? 
Log Horizon. 

537
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:08,600
Yeah, Season 3. 
That's what this is. 

538
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:11,360
OK. 
I was going to bring it up 

539
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,320
because it's like it, it kind of
is, right? 

540
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,720
Like. 
Yeah, no, I'm, I'm being 100%. 

541
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:18,520
This is the ones that's not 
derogatory. 

542
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,560
I just mean that seriously, 
that's what this is. 

543
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:27,280
So so I'm wait, sorry to clarify
what my question was, was like 

544
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:33,040
how many more 12 episode seasons
could be made after this movie 

545
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:37,120
before we catch up to the manga?
One I want to say. 

546
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,000
So, so like we're caught. 
We're not caught up, but we're 

547
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:41,320
getting there. 
I wouldn't be. 

548
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:45,720
Surprised after the movie if we 
either don't get more medalist 

549
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,880
or we don't get medalist for 
like 3 to 4 years. 

550
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,240
But I know it's very popular in 
Japan. 

551
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,240
I know it's not quite the level 
of like high Q or anything like 

552
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:01,960
that, but like it did spark ice 
skating participation in Japan 

553
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:05,720
and stuff like that. 
Like it has an impact on ice 

554
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:09,560
skating in Japan. 
But I don't, I just, I don't 

555
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:12,240
think they put out enough 
chapters fast enough for them to

556
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:16,560
continue maybe one more season. 
But like, I don't think this is 

557
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:19,120
going to be a series that we're 
going to get finished in anime. 

558
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:25,480
Yeah, I, I suspect we'll get 
this at the very this movie at 

559
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:30,560
the very least. 
And then it also it just depends

560
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,640
on how long it goes, because 
there's no reason you couldn't 

561
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:36,000
do this for a long time if you 
wanted to. 

562
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,280
I think it just ended her 
winning a medal, right? 

563
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:40,600
She, well, she already won a 
medal. 

564
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,080
I mean like the Olympic medal 
when I say yeah. 

565
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:47,440
Well, that's a long time though.
She's got that's, you know. 

566
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:48,480
How old is she? 
She's like. 

567
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:54,840
She's 10 or 11 right now. 
So 8 years 7. 7-8 years, yeah. 

568
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,720
It's actually wait, now 
sometimes they're like 16 and 

569
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,840
skating I guess, but like. 
She is. 

570
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:05,720
She is in the most recent 
chapters 13 according to the 

571
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:06,680
wiki. 
OK. 

572
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:10,440
And I think she's in like, I 
think she's 10 or 11 right now. 

573
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:15,560
I look forward to the time skip.
I mean, that was going to be one

574
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:17,960
of my questions later for a 
discussion point, but I guess we

575
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:21,440
can do it now since we're there.
I would like to show if they 

576
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:25,800
were high schoolers so much more
than young children, because I 

577
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:30,240
feel like the nuance and the 
intelligence that they show 

578
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,600
about their sports and 
understandings and things like 

579
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:37,120
that. 
Like even like protege 10 year 

580
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:41,880
olds in baseball or in football 
or wherever aren't showing like 

581
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,200
that level of understanding in 
my opinion of of the sport that 

582
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:47,800
they're doing and the things 
they're doing. 

583
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,320
I feel like it it, it kind of 
like takes me out of it in the 

584
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:53,240
same way miles. 
The exposition will take you out

585
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:54,960
of it. 
Sometimes it takes me out of it 

586
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:58,640
when this 11 year old that you 
know, even if you're growing up 

587
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,200
obsessed with a sport, like when
I, I grew up obsessed with 

588
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:05,600
hockey, I didn't, I didn't 
understand like just 2nd, 3rd, 

589
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:09,960
4th tertiary levels of strategy 
and scoring and things like that

590
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:13,040
in what until I was at least in 
high school. 

591
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,760
So like it feels like it just 
takes me out a little bit. 

592
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,960
Does that happen to you guys at 
all or, or would you enjoy it 

593
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,840
more if it was older? 
I also, and also because it 

594
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:25,520
would get to this Olympic medal 
dream faster. 

595
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:29,640
I guess I get it though, too, 
because you can't have, well, 

596
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:33,040
I'm about to say you can't have 
a character start skating when 

597
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:36,880
they're in high school and then 
win an Olympic medal and be like

598
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:40,240
successful at skating. 
But they also literally have 

599
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,600
that character in the show in 
Tsukasa, correct? 

600
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:44,880
Like he's maybe? 
He doesn't win. 

601
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:48,280
He doesn't win an Olympic medal,
but he went he's he's at the 

602
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:49,640
top. 
He's the thing I didn't want to 

603
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:52,560
talk about. 
He's not at the top like so I 

604
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:54,360
mean, he's, he's high up, but 
like. 

605
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:59,360
What at his peak he was though 
it like he it was shown, I 

606
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:01,920
thought at least that he was 
competing for. 

607
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:05,040
Like a heist dancer, which is. 
It's different sport, of course,

608
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:10,280
too, but not that different in 
in like there's people that are 

609
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:11,800
training their whole lives for 
that too. 

610
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:13,120
Yeah, he was in. 
That's my point. 

611
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:15,560
Like, I guess my point is like 
he started really late. 

612
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:17,920
Like the whole point is like, 
oh, you can't do this and then 

613
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:19,720
succeed. 
And I'm sure that that'll be 

614
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:21,360
something they talk about later 
where it's like, oh, thank 

615
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:24,080
goodness we did start in Ori 
early enough. 

616
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:27,120
But it I, I just wish they were 
older. 

617
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:28,960
I wish, I wish it wouldn't Take 
Me Out of it. 

618
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:32,720
Can I, can I go first? 
Because I think that defeats the

619
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:36,120
entire purpose of this story if 
it is not that. 

620
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:40,640
Like the whole point is Tsukasa 
wasn't able, didn't have the 

621
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:44,000
means to skate when he was 
younger in the way that he 

622
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,360
wanted to. 
It took him to him having a 

623
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:51,120
essentially A sponsor family and
him paying for his own training 

624
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:55,560
in order to get to where he is. 
He sees a Nori as the child that

625
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:58,720
he was at that age and takes her
in essentially. 

626
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:03,480
So no, I, I, I think if if the 
character was older it would 

627
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:05,240
defeat the entire purpose of the
show. 

628
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:09,880
I well why can't you just do it 
with Anori at like 13 or already

629
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,639
or something like that? 
Or, or maybe a Raider rephrase, 

630
00:34:12,639 --> 00:34:17,480
it would be it's. 
The context of what the sport 

631
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:19,080
is. 
It's the same thing with like if

632
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:22,000
you wanted to be a world class 
piano player, I feel like where 

633
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:25,120
like the people who are world 
class piano players started 

634
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,159
playing when they were four. 
That's just facts. 

635
00:34:27,159 --> 00:34:29,920
Like are there some people who 
are world class piano players 

636
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:32,400
that started when they were 18? 
Absolutely. 

637
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:35,080
But I bet 95% of them started 
when they were 4. 

638
00:34:35,639 --> 00:34:38,960
Ice skating, ping pong, like 
these types of sports were like 

639
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:42,760
it's so technical and it's so 
skilled where you need the 

640
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:47,040
repetitions more than anything. 
And with that is time. 

641
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:49,000
And you need that when you start
young. 

642
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:52,440
Though in the context of ice 
skating, I would say no. 

643
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:56,280
It is absolutely necessary to 
have the story start here. 

644
00:34:56,360 --> 00:35:01,200
Or if you want Sukasta to be the
character that he is, the other 

645
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:05,640
main character has to be the 
like the younger version of him.

646
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:09,760
Yeah, I I think I generally 
agree. 

647
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:15,920
What I will say is I think I 
think Ignori is for the pacing 

648
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:19,040
succeeding a little too quickly 
for my personal taste. 

649
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:20,040
I would. 
Love to talk about this. 

650
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,120
OK. 
Because I guess I would like to 

651
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:26,360
see because like I like her more
as like a scrappy underdog as 

652
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:32,240
opposed to like some sort of 
like, you know, prodigy that 

653
00:35:32,240 --> 00:35:35,360
just happened to start later. 
Like I think that's less 

654
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:38,680
interesting when you sort of do 
that. 

655
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:44,800
And because they because they 
start younger in my head when 

656
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:48,440
you if you know, I'm plotting 
this out, that gives her more 

657
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:52,720
time to like scrape and scrap 
her way to the top eventually. 

658
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:56,520
And So what you could do is 
start her around the same age 

659
00:35:56,520 --> 00:36:00,200
because that's genuinely like 
around the cut off to start 

660
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:03,400
skating and be successful at it 
is like her age. 

661
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:09,000
Like it's really close to about 
as old as you get to start, you 

662
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:12,120
know, doing this and be on the 
track that she wants to be on, 

663
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:17,400
but have her lag behind a little
bit because she started late. 

664
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:21,160
Be, you know, be successful, but
not up to the level of these, 

665
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:23,520
you know, people who've been 
doing it forever. 

666
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:28,120
Like I've heard that one poor 
girl who's like been grinding 

667
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:30,920
since she was like 3 and Nori 
shows up and she's been doing 

668
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,280
this for seven months and just 
crushes her. 

669
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:35,200
It just, I don't know, you just 
got to feel bad. 

670
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:41,120
But I I think having her start 
at this age is good. 

671
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:44,200
And currently in the manga, 
she's 13 and that happens over 

672
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:47,200
the course of 36 chapters, Pat. 
So I, you know, I don't know if 

673
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:53,560
that's, you know, quick enough, 
it may be a little bit quicker. 

674
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:56,200
I think we both agree that the 
season is like a little sort of 

675
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:58,600
drug out. 
So, you know, if you had a world

676
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:04,200
where she was getting to be that
age, that episode like 16 

677
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:06,720
instead of like a theoretical 
episode 30 or something like 

678
00:37:06,720 --> 00:37:10,000
that, perhaps that would work a 
little better. 

679
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:11,640
For you, I just would like it to
move faster. 

680
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:14,000
Maybe then is the is the better 
way to phrase that. 

681
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:18,760
But I I'm just frustrated where 
I'm like, OK, because like this 

682
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:21,080
tournament, I get that there 
were different stakes, but it 

683
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,080
didn't really feel like there 
were different stakes. 

684
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:24,840
It didn't feel like we had 
changed. 

685
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:26,920
I didn't feel anything for this 
tournament. 

686
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:29,960
It meant nothing to me. 
It just sort of felt like a a 

687
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:35,280
check mark, a box for her to her
to do and that that's a little 

688
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:36,880
bit of my issue. 
But Pete, you wanted to talk 

689
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:40,600
about the Anori thing. 
Oh, I want to say that like her,

690
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:44,000
her skill set of how she, 
because we talked about this in 

691
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:48,600
the first review, is that Inori 
was practicing ice skating the 

692
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:51,600
entire time. 
She just wasn't practicing on 

693
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,080
ice. 
Like she's not a prodigy. 

694
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:56,000
She has been practicing for 
years. 

695
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:58,840
And I use this as an example 
because I did this when I played

696
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,680
tennis is essential. 
It's the essential. 

697
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:06,200
Essentially, it's shadowboxing. 
It's practicing your technique. 

698
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:08,800
And golfers do this all the time
too, with like your swing where 

699
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:11,800
you're just swinging at nothing 
randomly out of nowhere. 

700
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:13,280
You're practicing your. 
Teams. 

701
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:18,560
And like those little things add
up to your to your skill set. 

702
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:23,760
So Anori being in this bracket 
with how little of experience 

703
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:26,960
she has, like on ice, I think 
makes sense because she 

704
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:28,880
developed her skill set 
elsewhere. 

705
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:31,000
But I don't think it was, it 
would be one of those things 

706
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:36,080
where like it would translate if
she was like 15 because she's, 

707
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:39,200
she would be competing against 
people who had like, let's just 

708
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:42,280
say like 8 years of experience 
versus where she is now where 

709
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:45,360
they have, you know, 3-4, five 
years of experience. 

710
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:48,760
It doesn't, it equates more to 
her skill set now than it would 

711
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:50,680
later. 
So I think it makes sense in the

712
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:54,200
context that like, she's not 
just this prodigy who wins 

713
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:56,720
everything, that she has been 
busting her ass this whole time.

714
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:01,360
But your argument here is that 
she self-taught herself how to 

715
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:07,480
do this via osmosis of learning.
Like that's very for digits, 

716
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:08,360
right? 
Like that's. 

717
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:11,720
It's it's a it, but it is a 
thing like it is a thing 

718
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:16,400
freaking the the Tokyo toe who 
just got signed to whatever like

719
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:18,640
he learned kicking football from
YouTube. 

720
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:25,360
Like like like like shadowing 
what you see on ice and then 

721
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:28,040
doing it like on dirt translates
to ice. 

722
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:33,760
Like it's it it it like it, it 
works in both both ways. 

723
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:37,880
Like her training on Off the Ice
is training for the ice. 

724
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:41,960
Yeah, but surely it's less 
efficient, right? 

725
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:45,960
Like then actually, yeah. 
So I to me, it's, I don't know, 

726
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:49,200
I guess I would just like it a 
little bit more if she had to. 

727
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:53,080
OK. 
So in season 1 when she's like 

728
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:56,400
winning her her thing, it's 
against a lot of people who are 

729
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:59,440
quite a bit younger than her. 
And it is a very entry level 

730
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:02,480
thing to me in my head. 
I don't. 

731
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:05,720
I completely understand the 
structure of all of this, but we

732
00:40:05,720 --> 00:40:08,840
went from her beating a 
character like Mittens who have 

733
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:12,920
been doing it longer, but is 
younger, right, and has some 

734
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:16,840
personality issues that makes it
like a little harder, you know, 

735
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:18,400
because she's like 5 or 
whatever. 

736
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:25,040
It, it makes it like, it's just,
it's weird to me. 

737
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:27,720
She's competing against Hikaru, 
who people are like, yeah, she's

738
00:40:27,720 --> 00:40:29,560
probably going to be in the 
Olympics in a year. 

739
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:34,680
Like, you know, she's like God's
gift to figure skating and like 

740
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:39,920
Anori went from beating a 7 year
old to competing against her 

741
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:43,400
after one extra tournament. 
It just, to me, it just feels 

742
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:46,480
weird. 
I, I just feel like we, we got 

743
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:48,600
here really quick and I missed 
something. 

744
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:52,120
I I don't know. 
Well, like Hikaru is probably 

745
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:54,120
going to blow her out of the 
water, right? 

746
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:55,880
Like when they. 
Actually, we can only hope. 

747
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:59,520
To like if a no one loses by a 
point that would be stupid 

748
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:02,800
right? 
Like Ikaru should destroy Inori 

749
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:06,000
but like the fact that they're 
in the same tournament I don't 

750
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:10,000
think necessarily means. 
Anything but they were they were

751
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:13,880
no, but they were plotting the 
the points, right. 

752
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:19,320
So if Inori does her routine, 
which admittedly, they're sort 

753
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:24,600
of betting on one jump, right? 
Like she'll outscore because 

754
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:27,480
like, June does the mental math 
to like, figure out what they're

755
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:34,920
planning to do because Rio's dad
snitches on them like a little 

756
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:40,280
beta boy who never won a gold 
and feels guilty for upsetting 

757
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:45,680
Daddy June. 
But you know, I, I don't know, I

758
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:48,880
guess it, maybe it's just how 
they're presenting it. 

759
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:52,480
Maybe it is the attitude of 
Ignori and Sukasa where they're 

760
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:54,880
like, we're going to get this 
done no matter how impossible it

761
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:57,080
is, right? 
And then the movie's going to 

762
00:41:57,080 --> 00:42:02,200
happen and Ignori's going to 
come in 8th and, you know, get 

763
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:05,640
her ass kicked. 
Like need salute. 

764
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:09,080
I I think she needs to lose this
tournament bad. 

765
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:12,320
I agree. 
Like this is like and then time 

766
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:16,120
skip a year to this again, maybe
and then we assume that she's 

767
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:17,960
been training this whole time 
and then it becomes more 

768
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:19,720
believable like that's I. 
So there we go. 

769
00:42:19,720 --> 00:42:23,160
We come full circle to where I 
want this like I would like us 

770
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:27,560
to be progressing faster. 
I guess in the sense of like, I 

771
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:32,760
like she's progressing too fast 
in terms of winning right now to

772
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:37,320
where it doesn't feel very 
realistic or like, OK. 

773
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:41,600
Guys, guys, there's no chance 
she loses badly this term. 

774
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:44,200
I think there's. 
I I really do. 

775
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:52,200
I OK, so presuming we know OK, 
we have a movie coming up right 

776
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:55,600
and that movie is going to be a 
big then if we look at the 

777
00:42:55,600 --> 00:43:01,840
splash heart right it is you 
know Anori facing he grew in a 

778
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:07,040
ice skating match. 
OK, now realistically there is 

779
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:13,720
one place that can happen, the 
UFC, and it's yeah, yeah. 

780
00:43:13,720 --> 00:43:16,000
It's like, I don't know, are 
they going to do a movie in the 

781
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:17,680
UFC? 
Are they going to do a movie 

782
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:21,640
into the end of that movie? 
You know, Inori comes in like 

783
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:25,920
8th or whatever, or is she going
to come in? 

784
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:27,800
Took a second. 
OK. 

785
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:29,520
That's not by the way, that's 
not losing. 

786
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:32,200
You qualify and you get a silver
Med like that that's technically

787
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:36,160
losing that is basically just as
good as coming in. 

788
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:38,160
How about we? 
Debate it when the movie drops. 

789
00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:40,360
We don't. 
We don't know what's going to 

790
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:42,040
happen. 
We're playing hypotheticals. 

791
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:46,760
I'm just worried about it, Pete.
I have anxiety and I'm 

792
00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:49,240
concerned. 
Well, let's let's turn that 

793
00:43:49,240 --> 00:43:51,960
anxiety upside down and talk 
about something fun. 

794
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:54,800
We're we're playing the Justin 
Herbert game right now. 

795
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:57,480
We shouldn't be because that's a
boring game, the if game, right?

796
00:43:57,560 --> 00:44:03,120
So yeah, no the one thing that I
very much enjoyed about this 

797
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:06,840
movie, this movie Jesus brain 
fried we're we're recording late

798
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:07,640
tonight. 
It's OK. 

799
00:44:08,240 --> 00:44:10,560
One thing that I very much 
enjoyed about this series or 

800
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:16,960
this specific season of the 
series was the way that Inori 

801
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:22,960
really learns from a lot of 
different sources and, and 

802
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:24,920
different coaches throughout. 
You know, there's a lot of 

803
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:28,160
resources that are being given 
to her and afforded her. 

804
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:30,840
And I think that they they show 
a pretty good job. 

805
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:33,560
They do a pretty good job of 
showing how she would be 

806
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:36,320
learning from all these 
different people because it's 

807
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:38,800
important, you know, there are 
all these different pieces that 

808
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:43,280
would go into each and every 
single one of these trials and 

809
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:45,040
successes at these tournaments, 
right? 

810
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:47,320
So I thought that that was 
really well, well demonstrated 

811
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:50,080
in the show or in this season 
even more so that was in the 

812
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:51,320
first. 
What, what about you guys? 

813
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:53,400
What What else did you like 
about this season compared to 

814
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:57,520
the first? 
All the things that Miles hates.

815
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:00,360
Fair. 
Sorry, I didn't. 

816
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:02,080
I set you guys up for that one, 
didn't I? 

817
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:03,960
That's why I'm letting Pete 
talk. 

818
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:06,480
We're being positive right now 
and he can talk about why he 

819
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:08,760
liked him and everything. 
No, I mean there's so many 

820
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:10,400
different elements. 
You can all be quiet. 

821
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:13,800
Like the pure sports element, 
like that's what I really liked 

822
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:17,280
about we got, we got showcased 
so many different elements of 

823
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:21,120
competitive sports that I love. 
We got to see the fun side 

824
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:25,240
hanging out with everybody who's
competing, like like, yeah, we 

825
00:45:25,240 --> 00:45:27,680
might be rivals on the on the 
rink or whatever like that. 

826
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:29,800
But a lot of times like you're 
good friends with like the 

827
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:31,720
people that you're surrounded 
with with like like the same 

828
00:45:31,720 --> 00:45:33,920
hobbies. 
And so we kind of got introduced

829
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:37,200
to a new cast and like you got 
to see like the fun and that 

830
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:39,680
interpersonal stuff that we got 
more of in Season 1 with like 

831
00:45:39,720 --> 00:45:42,600
the competitors in this. 
And then we have to see like the

832
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:46,880
more of the, I would say the 
coaching side of like who June 

833
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:51,520
is, their approach, their styles
of coaching, the contrast of 

834
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:56,240
June to su Casa. 
I really enjoy just like like, 

835
00:45:56,280 --> 00:46:01,440
do you do you take your style of
coaching and apply it to your 

836
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:04,760
your mentee or do you how do you
how do you shape them? 

837
00:46:05,240 --> 00:46:08,160
Like you adapt your styles to 
them. 

838
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:12,040
They adapt their styles to you 
and that's kind of like what I 

839
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:14,440
feel like Ignore and Sukasa are.
And then you had like the 

840
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:17,160
opposite with like June who's 
just like you need to do this, 

841
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:19,880
you have to do this, this is how
we're doing it. 

842
00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:25,240
And like those are two real and 
both effective ways of coaching 

843
00:46:25,240 --> 00:46:27,800
depending on who you're coaching
like that. 

844
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:30,320
The one thing I didn't like with
the sports element, the harness 

845
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:33,840
stuff was like 1 episode too 
long like that. 

846
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:36,120
To me, that's where it felt like
it was dragging a little bit 

847
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:39,760
where like I thought it was cool
and interesting to see how they 

848
00:46:40,720 --> 00:46:44,000
kind of like especially with 
like the physics of like jumping

849
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:49,040
and like how people, how they 
like carry up, how skinny people

850
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:52,360
can hold, you know, people up in
the air for 15 seconds. 

851
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:55,000
It's like it's all force and 
it's all whatever. 

852
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:57,000
I'm like, OK, that's cool. 
I like that a lot. 

853
00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:00,080
Like it's one of those things 
where it's like a lot of humans 

854
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:02,880
can do backflips. 
You just have to like practice 

855
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:05,520
the technique and then you can 
do it the the hardest reminded 

856
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:08,600
me of that where it's like you 
can, it's in you. 

857
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:11,360
You just need to like, you need 
a little push, you need a little

858
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:13,440
help, you need a little work on 
your technique. 

859
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:19,560
I, I really enjoyed them diving 
into the sports element of 

860
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:23,400
figure skating and this season 
because then it sets up. 

861
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:27,360
This is so well-rounded. 
Like the first season was more 

862
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:29,680
interpersonal with a sports 
element. 

863
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:32,840
This to me was a sports show 
with like an interpersonal 

864
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:36,200
element as like the secondary 
though, it's a great mix and I 

865
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:40,520
think it really does build up 
for what's to come and it makes 

866
00:47:40,720 --> 00:47:44,800
the the moments more impactful, 
whether it's like connections 

867
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:47,960
based with the cast or if it's 
results based in the 

868
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:51,520
performances. 
I just, I loved it, absolutely 

869
00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:54,520
loved. 
It the the technical stuff too, 

870
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:57,400
like the when you learn how to 
skate, what do you do? 

871
00:47:57,480 --> 00:48:01,240
You first you stand and hold one
of the sleds or whatever, and 

872
00:48:01,240 --> 00:48:03,800
then from there you graduate to 
being able to skate on your own 

873
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:04,920
too. 
So I thought the hardest was a 

874
00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:08,960
very cool way to demonstrate how
else you might train, how to 

875
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:11,480
skate one. 
Just to stay on the positive 

876
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:13,120
note before we get to anything 
more negative. 

877
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:17,440
Hey, hey, I've got negatives 
too. 

878
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:22,480
But one thing that I very, very,
the other aspect that I very 

879
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:25,800
much enjoyed was them 
acknowledging and taking 

880
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:31,080
advantage of Sukas background as
an ice dancer versus an ice a 

881
00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:34,080
figure skater. 
I thought it was really cool how

882
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:38,760
Edori's programs, I think 
they're called, were very 

883
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:42,840
clearly made by someone who is 
an ice dancer or and she was 

884
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:44,400
taught by someone who was an ice
dancer. 

885
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:46,440
And like how they they 
acknowledge the technical 

886
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:51,400
differences that that style of 
skating would both help him with

887
00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:54,720
how he coaches her, but also 
would help her because of what 

888
00:48:54,720 --> 00:48:57,040
she's learned and then is able 
to formulate that into a 

889
00:48:57,040 --> 00:48:58,960
program. 
And of course it doesn't help in

890
00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:03,240
the literal touring or the 
ability to fly through the air 

891
00:49:03,240 --> 00:49:06,640
or do specific tricks, but or 
turns or whatever. 

892
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:10,440
But it does help in her 
connecting all of those together

893
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:15,520
and making a program in a 
sequence that is different and 

894
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:18,400
good and good enough to compete 
with people that have been doing

895
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:20,280
it for a very long time. 
I thought that that was really 

896
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:24,640
well explained and also shown in
the animation of her actually 

897
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:27,440
doing the things and compared to
the other dancers or not 

898
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:30,480
dancers, skaters. 
Pardon me, Miles, go ahead. 

899
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:32,280
Pooh Pooh parade time. 
Let's do it. 

900
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:33,280
I'm kidding. 
I'm kidding. 

901
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:35,520
I'm kidding, I'm kidding. 
We're going to talk about some 

902
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:38,800
things I liked and then I, I, 
but I do think I figured out 

903
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:40,800
what my issue with the season is
overall, because it's been a 

904
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:43,560
hard time for me to figure it 
out exactly. 

905
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:47,120
And I think I figured it out, 
But you know, I do. 

906
00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:49,560
I liked the coach talking, as 
you mentioned, like all the 

907
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:51,720
different coaches and like their
perspectives and their 

908
00:49:51,720 --> 00:49:54,720
interactions were good. 
I liked it with Tsukasa. 

909
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:59,400
I I think that we got like a 
little mini bit of Sukasa sort 

910
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:02,440
of really coming to his own as a
coach this season and starting 

911
00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:05,000
to feel like he belongs, which 
was good. 

912
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:07,920
I liked that. 
You know, when he's working with

913
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:09,680
the different coaches, they're 
all sort of agreeing or 

914
00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:12,680
disagreeing on how to how to 
deal with certain things. 

915
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:15,600
You know, there's like that blue
haired coach and Sukasa who are 

916
00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:19,080
both a little like, you know, a 
little lighter on their 

917
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:21,800
students, a little more like 
buddy, like, Hey, we got this. 

918
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:24,000
And then you have like some of 
their peers who are a little 

919
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:27,760
more like, no, you got to you 
know, and that it that's always 

920
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:31,280
interesting to see because as 
Pete mentioned, it's it's 

921
00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:33,760
viable, right? 
Like, and you saw that all the 

922
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:35,880
different students ask for 
different things from their 

923
00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:37,640
coaches. 
Like, I don't want you to 

924
00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:39,400
sugarcoat this. 
And other people were like, I 

925
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:42,000
need you to sugarcoat this 
because like I'm devastated 

926
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:47,080
right now, you know. 
And you know, it's sort of like 

927
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:49,600
in our Discord, join in the link
below. 

928
00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:52,840
We, you know, we were talking 
about our our managers and how 

929
00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:56,000
much we'd like compliment 
sandwiches and or not the other 

930
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:57,360
day and it's like a similar 
thing. 

931
00:50:57,360 --> 00:51:02,120
Yeah, you know, Right. 
Yeah, yeah. 

932
00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:04,400
So like 4, you know, you sort of
have that. 

933
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:07,640
But the four people here are 
going to be like, yo. 

934
00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:12,280
You know, we were, we were a 
little split. 

935
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:13,640
Some people were like, I don't 
want that. 

936
00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:15,480
Like, I hate it when people 
compliment me just like, say 

937
00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:17,360
mean things to me and like, tell
me what to do better. 

938
00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:20,000
And then like, you know, some 
people like the the compliments 

939
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:22,680
and like, I get that. 
But, you know, I know what I'm 

940
00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:24,160
good at. 
Tell me what I'm bad at. 

941
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:33,600
But, you know, sometimes, yeah, 
You know, I thought that was 

942
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:35,440
good. 
I liked that we got to see more 

943
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:37,400
of that family, even though, as 
Pat mentioned, it was like, a 

944
00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:39,520
little weird that they had never
watched Yukasa skate. 

945
00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:45,560
Like like you can go to 
nationals to watch your like 

946
00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:49,800
adopted son Jesus. 
Christ was the mom dying at the 

947
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:53,080
time like. 
She went. 

948
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:55,400
She watched her. 
In Season 1. 

949
00:51:59,720 --> 00:52:02,200
Wow. 
And also watching on TV, you'd 

950
00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:05,160
be able to at least somewhat try
and ask some of the questions 

951
00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:06,760
that they asked you, right? 
You would think. 

952
00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:09,480
Like you would just. 
Watch it and stare at the screen

953
00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:11,400
and be like, wow, that's crazy, 
you know? 

954
00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:15,160
There was a scene that I liked 
between that that like the dad 

955
00:52:15,160 --> 00:52:18,040
and Inori, where he like picked 
her up and like sang a song, but

956
00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:20,120
it was like a little weird 
because he had no idea that was 

957
00:52:20,120 --> 00:52:23,520
Inori. 
It's just a random child. 

958
00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:27,120
But it was very funny, so I I 
forgave it. 

959
00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:37,960
And so I think ultimately what 
my issue is though, with this 

960
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:40,080
season, because there's a lot of
things I still like about it. 

961
00:52:40,080 --> 00:52:42,480
I think the interaction between 
the cast are still good. 

962
00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:45,920
I think, you know, Inori is 
still as lovable as ever. 

963
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:47,640
SU Casa is still the GOAT, 
right? 

964
00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:52,080
These things are here when 
you're comparing this to high Qi

965
00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:55,720
was thinking about what the main
reason I don't like high Q is 

966
00:52:55,720 --> 00:52:59,320
right. 
And I you know, I I talk about 

967
00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:02,080
the explaining and the cutbacks 
and stuff and this this show 

968
00:53:02,080 --> 00:53:04,520
doesn't do like as many 
flashbacks as IQ does, right? 

969
00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:07,480
Like anyone, anytime anyone 
touches a volleyball, they we 

970
00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:10,720
like learn about their, you 
know, I don't know, dead brother

971
00:53:10,720 --> 00:53:14,240
or something who like really 
wanted them to play volleyball 

972
00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:19,120
and yeah, who really wanted them
to play volleyball. 

973
00:53:19,480 --> 00:53:24,720
But the thing I don't like the 
most about Haiku is I don't 

974
00:53:24,720 --> 00:53:27,040
believe Hinata is good at 
volleyball. 

975
00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:31,360
I just don't believe it. 
I don't the the show has never 

976
00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:34,000
convinced me that he's actually 
good. 

977
00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:38,040
And at the end of Season 1 in 
Medalist, I completely believe 

978
00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:40,960
where Inori was. 
And I was very invested because 

979
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:43,600
it felt like a very organic 
growth to me. 

980
00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:47,360
And maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'll 
be proven wrong in the movie, I 

981
00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:49,520
don't know. 
But the way that I experienced 

982
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:54,960
Season 2 is I do not believe 
Inori is as good as she is. 

983
00:53:55,240 --> 00:53:59,120
Like I I just feel like she's 
been plot armored almost a 

984
00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:05,360
little bit at at how good she is
at figure skating now where she 

985
00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:09,920
was learning how to do like a 
single axle last week or last 

986
00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:12,280
season, which was like not that 
long ago. 

987
00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:16,280
And now they're having her do a 
quad and she can land it and. 

988
00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:23,320
I wonder if like I I legit would
want to know like from an ice 

989
00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:28,120
skater's perspective, how long 
is super to do a go from a 

990
00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:29,880
double to a triple or something 
like that? 

991
00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:38,000
Or like is Inori's growth 
actually realistic or or is it 

992
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:41,640
plot armor like? 
Yeah, yeah. 

993
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:47,920
I think that. 
Like, yeah, now I'm good. 

994
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:50,760
Like 100% clear. 
I could, I could just be wrong, 

995
00:54:50,840 --> 00:54:53,200
right? 
Like, I don't, I don't know that

996
00:54:53,200 --> 00:54:57,280
at all what the growth of a 
figure skater is like in my 

997
00:54:57,280 --> 00:55:00,840
perception, at least with the 
way they set up these people, 

998
00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:03,000
because they set these people up
and they're like, they've been 

999
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:07,360
doing it for seven years. 
And, you know, and just so it's 

1000
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:10,400
the time frame with a don't 
worry, but I don't know if that 

1001
00:55:10,400 --> 00:55:13,600
is a plausible time frame or 
not. 

1002
00:55:14,040 --> 00:55:18,400
And these other people are doing
what is a normal time frame, you

1003
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:24,040
know, or, or is everyone she's 
with a little bit exceptional? 

1004
00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:28,120
But Hikaru is like the most 
except, you know, I just don't. 

1005
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:32,480
I think the movie will clear up 
a lot by what the gap between 

1006
00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:34,800
her and his crew is because. 
Expo dumped. 

1007
00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:37,800
That is what you're saying. 
Yeah, what I need. 

1008
00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:45,680
No, I need them to explain to 
me. 

1009
00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:52,720
You need them to exposit. 
Yeah, I need, I need an like 

1010
00:55:52,720 --> 00:55:55,880
Expo dump on literally how 
muscles grow. 

1011
00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:01,720
I needed a complete Physiology 
lesson. 

1012
00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:05,360
Though you see, Adori was born 
early in her birth year, so 

1013
00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:09,320
therefore she has eight months 
advance on some of the other 7 

1014
00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:10,040
year old. 
Yeah. 

1015
00:56:11,040 --> 00:56:14,120
That that's actually like really
important by the way, like. 

1016
00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:18,040
I was actually, I was like, what
if someone's better just because

1017
00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:22,760
they've grown more? 
Like you're just stronger at 

1018
00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:25,880
that age. 
Well, it's bad for that one 

1019
00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:27,840
girl. 
Remember she hit her gross spurt

1020
00:56:28,120 --> 00:56:30,800
spurt early and it like changed 
her center of gravity or 

1021
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:34,360
whatever. 
And like she has horrible chin 

1022
00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:36,000
splints. 
During my life. 

1023
00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:39,280
OK wait, I found a Reddit thread
on this. 

1024
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:44,480
OK, well, that's useless. 
Never mind. 

1025
00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:46,520
I'll see if there's anything 
useful in it and I'll fill it in

1026
00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:48,240
later. 
The first one is basically just 

1027
00:56:48,240 --> 00:56:50,960
saying what I'm. 
I'm saying it's like she's the 

1028
00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:54,360
protagonist, It doesn't matter. 
And it's like, OK, well, that 

1029
00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:56,760
doesn't help. 
Is it yes or no? 

1030
00:56:57,840 --> 00:57:02,120
True. 
Yeah, we probably. 

1031
00:57:02,120 --> 00:57:04,600
Have time for one more question?
If you want to get an Eagle 

1032
00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:07,200
question then. 
Yeah, let's do that then. 

1033
00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:11,560
Miles, pick your favorite Eagle 
question, unless Pete wants to 

1034
00:57:11,560 --> 00:57:13,240
pick it too. 
Do you want? 

1035
00:57:14,360 --> 00:57:16,600
Me to do it. 
Go for it, anyone can do it. 

1036
00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:19,480
We're. 
Terrible with this Eagles 

1037
00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:25,080
question of the day there. 
We go how do? 

1038
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:31,240
You think the anime's direction 
is such as pacing, 

1039
00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:35,960
storyboarding, music influences,
how we interpret Tsukasa and 

1040
00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:38,800
June's relationship compared to 
how it might be come across in 

1041
00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:41,200
the manga? 
Are there moments that feel 

1042
00:57:41,200 --> 00:57:48,080
intentionally ambiguous? 
That's a great question I 

1043
00:57:48,200 --> 00:57:50,040
because. 
That is a very good question. 

1044
00:57:51,080 --> 00:57:53,080
I feel like Sukas is an open 
book. 

1045
00:57:53,200 --> 00:57:57,160
I feel like how he is portrayed 
in the show is like wide open 

1046
00:57:57,160 --> 00:57:59,120
and you can tell exactly who he 
is. 

1047
00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:02,720
June feels like a type of 
character that there's something

1048
00:58:02,720 --> 00:58:06,040
behind why he's like a complete 
asshole all the time. 

1049
00:58:06,360 --> 00:58:10,080
More than just like he's the 
edgelord character. 

1050
00:58:10,920 --> 00:58:18,320
I would the animation. 
It's more of like how he's 

1051
00:58:18,320 --> 00:58:19,880
framed. 
So I guess that's more of a 

1052
00:58:19,880 --> 00:58:27,080
directed a direction like aspect
of it because he's always framed

1053
00:58:27,080 --> 00:58:30,720
in like dark clothing, dark 
settings. 

1054
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:36,360
A smoking is an asshole is like 
very authoritative in his 

1055
00:58:36,360 --> 00:58:39,200
training. 
And I mean, that's obviously 

1056
00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:43,560
deliberate, but it it does set 
it up to where maybe he can be 

1057
00:58:43,560 --> 00:58:46,520
deconstructed a little bit to 
understand why he is that 

1058
00:58:47,120 --> 00:58:49,560
though, if if that is how 
they're setting it up, I think 

1059
00:58:49,560 --> 00:58:52,760
they're doing a great job with 
both characters because they are

1060
00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:56,360
supposed to be they are supposed
to contrast each other like 

1061
00:58:56,800 --> 00:59:04,560
Tukasa's golden retriever. 
June is the, you know, black. 

1062
00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:06,120
Retriever. 
Yeah, the darkness the. 

1063
00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:09,720
Black lab or what's what's like 
a grumpy dog or something, I 

1064
00:59:09,720 --> 00:59:11,560
don't know. 
But like there's there's 

1065
00:59:11,560 --> 00:59:13,280
something there and how they're 
both. 

1066
00:59:13,280 --> 00:59:14,840
Retrieved. 
I was just saying he's a cat, 

1067
00:59:14,920 --> 00:59:16,520
yeah. 
He's the black cat. 

1068
00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:20,840
There, there are no bad dogs, 
right? 

1069
00:59:21,800 --> 00:59:22,640
Only bad. 
Owners. 

1070
00:59:23,680 --> 00:59:26,640
So what I think is I'm going to,
I'm going to do 2 things because

1071
00:59:26,640 --> 00:59:30,720
I think they sort of expanded on
their dynamic. 

1072
00:59:30,720 --> 00:59:33,720
I don't think they've really had
much of a relationship before 

1073
00:59:33,720 --> 00:59:36,480
any of this, but there's some 
sort of fun stuff that goes on 

1074
00:59:36,480 --> 00:59:38,480
with them. 
One thing that I really didn't 

1075
00:59:38,480 --> 00:59:41,840
like was the idea that June was 
like Sukasa, you're super 

1076
00:59:41,840 --> 00:59:43,720
talented, you should like go 
back and skate. 

1077
00:59:43,720 --> 00:59:47,320
Like if Sukasa goes and just 
start skating again is very good

1078
00:59:47,320 --> 00:59:48,240
at it. 
I will jump. 

1079
00:59:48,560 --> 00:59:52,640
I think that is not what I want 
to happen, like literally at 

1080
00:59:52,640 --> 00:59:55,040
all. 
I want him to be an amazing 

1081
00:59:55,040 --> 00:59:58,120
coach and find fulfillment in 
that, even though he couldn't 

1082
00:59:58,120 --> 01:00:00,280
find fulfillment in the thing 
that he wanted, like 

1083
01:00:00,280 --> 01:00:02,800
unfortunately and like he could 
have been amazing, but he 

1084
01:00:02,800 --> 01:00:04,760
wasn't. 
But he's OK with that because 

1085
01:00:04,760 --> 01:00:10,080
he's able to be a great coach. 
What I like about their dynamic 

1086
01:00:10,120 --> 01:00:16,520
is that for there's something 
about June that like Costa's 

1087
01:00:16,520 --> 01:00:18,360
like a little amped compared to 
him. 

1088
01:00:18,880 --> 01:00:21,600
But it's like an aunt, he's 
really noticed for some reason. 

1089
01:00:22,160 --> 01:00:27,080
And like Sukasa lives like a 
little rent free in June's head.

1090
01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:32,240
And I think that's sort of neat 
because he remembers a lot of 

1091
01:00:32,240 --> 01:00:35,000
the things Sukasa does. 
And I, I hope we get that. 

1092
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:41,480
Like why he is sort of grown 
attached to Sukasa even though 

1093
01:00:41,480 --> 01:00:48,640
he's not as talented and really 
isn't a standout as far as his 

1094
01:00:48,640 --> 01:00:53,480
accomplishments go. 
I would love to learn what what 

1095
01:00:53,480 --> 01:00:56,720
it is or if there's an event 
that maybe Sukasta doesn't 

1096
01:00:56,720 --> 01:00:59,000
remember that June saw or 
something like that. 

1097
01:00:59,440 --> 01:01:03,920
Or you know that that makes, you
know, when Sukasta shows up with

1098
01:01:03,920 --> 01:01:06,320
the Nori, like June remembers 
that even though they were just 

1099
01:01:06,320 --> 01:01:09,960
like random people qualifying 
for whatever bad, you know, 

1100
01:01:09,960 --> 01:01:14,720
badge rank 2 or whatever. 
Or how you remember his dance 

1101
01:01:14,840 --> 01:01:18,520
ice dancing routine, even though
most people remember like the 

1102
01:01:18,520 --> 01:01:20,320
flub at the end, like so does 
June. 

1103
01:01:20,320 --> 01:01:23,160
He brings it up because he's a 
Dick, but he's also like, you 

1104
01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:26,280
were doing like great until you 
fucked up, you know what I mean?

1105
01:01:26,280 --> 01:01:31,960
It was like it was like really 
good until it wasn't dude, you 

1106
01:01:31,960 --> 01:01:34,080
know, So I I'm pretty intrigued 
about that. 

1107
01:01:34,080 --> 01:01:38,640
There's also like June is 
secretly Hikaru's coach, right? 

1108
01:01:39,240 --> 01:01:45,720
And why that's the case and 
everything like why not publicly

1109
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:50,280
is sort of interesting. 
So I think there's a lot to 

1110
01:01:50,320 --> 01:01:55,480
examine there and I think I 
would love a little mini arc at 

1111
01:01:55,480 --> 01:01:58,560
some point where June gets to 
coach and Nori for a little bit 

1112
01:01:58,560 --> 01:02:03,880
just to experience that, because
I think that would be very funny

1113
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:09,480
from like a, you know, June 
doesn't feel like he would be 

1114
01:02:09,480 --> 01:02:14,560
quite as uplifting as Sukasa is,
but then Inori would be like, 

1115
01:02:14,560 --> 01:02:17,600
you're not as good as Sukasa and
that would drive him insane. 

1116
01:02:17,600 --> 01:02:21,280
So I think, you know, it would 
be a good little dynamic there. 

1117
01:02:22,360 --> 01:02:24,440
I don't know if that answers the
question or not, but I think 

1118
01:02:24,440 --> 01:02:27,840
it's intentionally ambiguous and
I think we're supposed to figure

1119
01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:30,200
it out eventually, is basically 
my thought. 

1120
01:02:30,960 --> 01:02:33,320
Yeah, I think this show does a 
pretty good job of teasing 

1121
01:02:33,320 --> 01:02:38,440
things or or setting things up 
and then allowing them to 

1122
01:02:38,440 --> 01:02:40,560
deliver on themselves as the 
story progresses. 

1123
01:02:40,560 --> 01:02:42,520
I guess is is maybe a better way
to phrase that. 

1124
01:02:42,520 --> 01:02:46,840
So I think like the relationship
you talked about between Jude 

1125
01:02:46,840 --> 01:02:50,880
and Sukasa is like very vague 
and ambiguous. 

1126
01:02:50,880 --> 01:02:54,760
Like we don't, we don't know for
sure for sure why they are. 

1127
01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:57,640
There's the tension, right, 
Other than obviously the initial

1128
01:02:57,640 --> 01:02:59,880
meeting in season 1. 
But like there's also just the, 

1129
01:03:00,560 --> 01:03:03,000
the rivalry kind of going on 
too. 

1130
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:04,920
I, I don't know, I think they, 
they do a good job of like 

1131
01:03:04,920 --> 01:03:06,680
building. 
And then when the payoff 

1132
01:03:06,680 --> 01:03:09,920
eventually does come, I think 
it'll make it worth it. 

1133
01:03:12,280 --> 01:03:15,120
All right, there we go. 
I guess it's time for closing 

1134
01:03:15,120 --> 01:03:17,560
thoughts on Medalist Season 2. 
And if there's anything that we 

1135
01:03:17,560 --> 01:03:22,400
missed, I would love for some 
comments in the discord asking 

1136
01:03:22,400 --> 01:03:23,840
us any questions. 
We're always here. 

1137
01:03:23,840 --> 01:03:26,160
We're always in this discord. 
Probably too much of our time is

1138
01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:28,840
spent here. 
So come join us and spend more 

1139
01:03:28,840 --> 01:03:30,280
too much of your time here as 
well. 

1140
01:03:30,920 --> 01:03:35,680
But yeah, let's Thanks, Pat. 
Pat, why don't you give us your 

1141
01:03:35,680 --> 01:03:38,280
final score and your closing 
thoughts? 

1142
01:03:40,040 --> 01:03:42,640
Oh, hello, Hello. 
My name is Patrick. 

1143
01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:47,680
I love Mellos I I really do 
think Mellos is setting itself 

1144
01:03:47,720 --> 01:03:50,960
up to be one of the best sports 
anime he's ever made. 

1145
01:03:52,080 --> 01:03:55,040
I love every aspect of it. 
I love the characters, the cast,

1146
01:03:55,400 --> 01:03:57,720
how they implemented. 
The only like real negative I 

1147
01:03:57,720 --> 01:04:01,280
would say about season 2 is that
the O PS and E DS were not as 

1148
01:04:01,280 --> 01:04:04,800
good as season 1. 
Those are both Omega bangers in 

1149
01:04:04,800 --> 01:04:12,680
season 1 like the season 2 like 
OP is like fun for A I don't 

1150
01:04:12,720 --> 01:04:16,640
know I'm not it. 
Grew on me, but it grew from 

1151
01:04:16,640 --> 01:04:21,080
like to it reminded. 
Me of like a kidz bop song, like

1152
01:04:21,280 --> 01:04:23,360
I I don't know, like I just 
couldn't. 

1153
01:04:25,080 --> 01:04:28,120
I got the kidz bop 5 for. 
You it just I like the kidz bop 

1154
01:04:28,160 --> 01:04:29,640
song. 
There's nothing wrong with it. 

1155
01:04:29,640 --> 01:04:34,000
It's just like for for a sign 
in, like it just didn't. 

1156
01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:36,280
I don't know. 
It matches the tone, but like, I

1157
01:04:36,280 --> 01:04:38,880
don't know, it's whatever. 
I fucking love Medalist. 

1158
01:04:38,880 --> 01:04:41,360
It was so good. 
I can't wait for the movie. 

1159
01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:44,120
I hope we get more than one 
showing. 

1160
01:04:44,880 --> 01:04:47,040
I hope this is one of those 
like, or maybe it's one of those

1161
01:04:47,040 --> 01:04:48,560
Crunchyroll anime nights type of
thing. 

1162
01:04:48,560 --> 01:04:51,520
But Oh no though, this, this 
wasn't on Crunchyroll. 

1163
01:04:51,520 --> 01:04:54,800
Just kidding, Crunchyroll hates 
Medalist. 

1164
01:04:54,880 --> 01:04:58,560
But yeah, I thought just the 
showcase of the actual sport 

1165
01:04:58,560 --> 01:05:02,000
more was awesome. 
It was, it was something 

1166
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:05,400
different from Season 1. 
It got me more involved into 

1167
01:05:05,400 --> 01:05:07,640
what's to come. 
I think it's going to make the 

1168
01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:10,600
impact for the bigger scenes 
even better because of what we 

1169
01:05:10,600 --> 01:05:12,080
got in the season. 
Yeah. 

1170
01:05:12,080 --> 01:05:15,280
I'm just, I can't wait for it to
see what's next to come. 9 out 

1171
01:05:15,280 --> 01:05:17,600
of 10 really really like Metal 
Season 2. 

1172
01:05:19,720 --> 01:05:24,120
Go 9 out of 10. 
All right, Miles, Mr. Cranky 

1173
01:05:24,120 --> 01:05:26,200
Pants, apparently. 
What have you got? 

1174
01:05:28,120 --> 01:05:30,640
So as I was talking about this, 
I remembered all the things I 

1175
01:05:30,640 --> 01:05:33,120
love about Metalist and. 
Yeah. 

1176
01:05:33,440 --> 01:05:38,280
Yeah, it makes it a little hard 
because like, OK, the first 

1177
01:05:38,280 --> 01:05:41,280
thing I felt after I finished 
this was like kind of annoyed 

1178
01:05:41,280 --> 01:05:46,200
that it ended where it did and 
that, you know, the whole season

1179
01:05:46,200 --> 01:05:50,760
could have been like an e-mail 
because like, we didn't even 

1180
01:05:50,760 --> 01:05:53,120
like talk about the tournament 
and how people competed or 

1181
01:05:53,120 --> 01:05:54,800
anything because, like, it just 
didn't matter. 

1182
01:05:55,840 --> 01:06:00,160
As Peters mentioned, like the, 
it was sort of a season focus on

1183
01:06:00,160 --> 01:06:03,000
the technical aspects and like 
learning about different styles 

1184
01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:05,960
and learning a little bit. 
I think more about Sukasa and 

1185
01:06:05,960 --> 01:06:11,480
who he was a little subtly. 
And let's focus on a Nori, I 

1186
01:06:11,480 --> 01:06:14,440
guess, even though, you know, 
she did matter of course this 

1187
01:06:14,440 --> 01:06:18,120
season. 
But it was it was a pretty, it 

1188
01:06:18,120 --> 01:06:20,080
was an interesting way to do 
things. 

1189
01:06:23,480 --> 01:06:26,520
I'm going to give it a 7 for 
right now and we'll see how I 

1190
01:06:26,520 --> 01:06:29,520
feel later. 
There we go, let's go. 

1191
01:06:31,800 --> 01:06:35,360
Well done Pete, you won. 
This is Miles conceding defeat 

1192
01:06:35,360 --> 01:06:37,400
to. 
Another Pete dub. 

1193
01:06:40,360 --> 01:06:44,760
There we go, all right, and for 
me, I won actually because I got

1194
01:06:44,760 --> 01:06:49,040
him to give the same score I am 
giving as well of a 7 out of 10.

1195
01:06:49,440 --> 01:06:53,120
I feel pretty good about that. 
I gave season 1 and 8 for 

1196
01:06:53,120 --> 01:06:55,520
reference. 
I still think it's a very good 

1197
01:06:55,520 --> 01:06:59,880
show. 
I think it's continues to build 

1198
01:07:00,560 --> 01:07:03,240
up Inori and Sukasa in their 
relationship. 

1199
01:07:03,240 --> 01:07:05,520
It's not really something we 
talked specifically about, but I

1200
01:07:05,520 --> 01:07:11,400
love their dynamic. 
It's kind of sad that you're, I 

1201
01:07:11,400 --> 01:07:15,440
give a show brownie points for 
this, but there's no romantic 

1202
01:07:15,440 --> 01:07:18,560
tension between them at all or 
any sort of like the garbage 

1203
01:07:18,560 --> 01:07:23,200
that for whatever reason some 
shows have in terms of that, you

1204
01:07:23,200 --> 01:07:26,800
know, Fruits Basket, right? 
You know, like there's nothing 

1205
01:07:26,800 --> 01:07:29,320
like that happening at all here,
which I really appreciate. 

1206
01:07:29,720 --> 01:07:31,280
Why don't you just have fruits 
basket? 

1207
01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:34,400
You haven't even seen it. 
I have seen it. 

1208
01:07:34,400 --> 01:07:40,280
What are you talking about? 
I've watched I we did it for 

1209
01:07:40,480 --> 01:07:42,440
seasonal. 
It's like 4 years ago. 

1210
01:07:42,440 --> 01:07:44,760
Yeah, it show came out like 3. 
Seasons of fruits. 

1211
01:07:45,440 --> 01:07:47,160
Yes. 
No way to go pack. 

1212
01:07:49,480 --> 01:07:52,400
That's what I had free time and.
Didn't golf. 

1213
01:07:53,160 --> 01:07:55,720
All three seasons of freeze 
baskets were amazing, by the 

1214
01:07:55,720 --> 01:07:57,840
way. 
They were all very good. 

1215
01:07:58,200 --> 01:08:02,280
Check out our reviews. 
Is it? 

1216
01:08:03,360 --> 01:08:05,000
Yeah. 
It's the movie. 

1217
01:08:05,040 --> 01:08:09,600
It's the movie, right? 
Yeah, yeah, they it all blended 

1218
01:08:09,600 --> 01:08:12,960
together because I did do the 
movie right when I did the final

1219
01:08:12,960 --> 01:08:16,000
season as well. 
But yes, OK, it's all coming 

1220
01:08:16,000 --> 01:08:17,359
back to me. 
The Zodiacs too. 

1221
01:08:17,439 --> 01:08:21,240
So fun, so fun, very cool show. 
But yeah, so thanks for not 

1222
01:08:21,240 --> 01:08:23,960
doing that Medalist. 
I really appreciate that because

1223
01:08:23,960 --> 01:08:27,080
you just, I don't know, man. 
You just never know what these 

1224
01:08:27,080 --> 01:08:29,040
shows. 
There's none of it though. 

1225
01:08:29,040 --> 01:08:31,479
There's not even like, oh, 
there's a slightest hint, none 

1226
01:08:31,479 --> 01:08:33,319
of it. 
And I really, really appreciate 

1227
01:08:33,319 --> 01:08:38,319
that. 
So yes, I want more of it and I 

1228
01:08:38,319 --> 01:08:41,439
will look forward to more of it.
And yeah, the I'd like them to 

1229
01:08:41,720 --> 01:08:46,120
keep aging and move along here 
at a more realistic pace, but 

1230
01:08:46,120 --> 01:08:47,240
we'll get there. 
We'll get there. 

1231
01:08:47,600 --> 01:08:51,680
But so with my seven, we come 
out to a score of a 7.66 

1232
01:08:51,680 --> 01:08:56,560
repeating on average between us 
at watch club, which is probably

1233
01:08:56,560 --> 01:08:58,439
skewed by how few of us there 
are. 

1234
01:08:58,439 --> 01:09:01,399
But an 8.46 is what it is on 
Mal. 

1235
01:09:01,399 --> 01:09:04,960
So that's what, like 3/4 or a 
point lower just about. 

1236
01:09:05,319 --> 01:09:07,720
I'm sure it'll go up, though. 
The movie's going to be great. 

1237
01:09:07,720 --> 01:09:09,319
Movie's going to be great. 
She's going to lose and it's 

1238
01:09:09,319 --> 01:09:10,520
going to be great. 
I believe in it. 

1239
01:09:10,600 --> 01:09:12,960
I believe in it. 
But yeah, that wraps up our 

1240
01:09:12,960 --> 01:09:15,319
discussion on Yahweh on Ice 
Season 2. 

1241
01:09:15,319 --> 01:09:20,040
Now, let's move on to what won 
this week for what we voted on. 

1242
01:09:20,040 --> 01:09:21,880
Miles, you have those results 
below. 

1243
01:09:21,880 --> 01:09:24,359
What are we watching two weeks 
from now? 

1244
01:09:25,240 --> 01:09:29,800
I do so we will. 
There's only three, so I'm I'm 

1245
01:09:29,800 --> 01:09:33,760
just going to cut to the winner 
in this case because everything 

1246
01:09:33,760 --> 01:09:36,520
gets a legacy point, but we are 
going to be watching. 

1247
01:09:36,520 --> 01:09:40,319
Oh my God, I typed that so bad 
that it's actually fucking yes. 

1248
01:09:40,720 --> 01:09:43,960
I I typed Shibuki or whatever it
is like so poorly that it fucked

1249
01:09:43,960 --> 01:09:46,680
up my ability to remember the 
name of the this will. 

1250
01:09:47,120 --> 01:09:50,439
Be a really fun conversation I I
think whether. 

1251
01:09:50,439 --> 01:09:52,439
You. 
I am excited about it. 

1252
01:09:52,600 --> 01:09:54,920
Whether you like the show or 
not, this will be a great 

1253
01:09:54,920 --> 01:09:57,280
conversation. 
That's what I, I think I could 

1254
01:09:57,280 --> 01:10:01,320
go either way on it. 
I I people say this is you, so 

1255
01:10:01,320 --> 01:10:02,720
we'll find out. 
You don't give it a 10. 

1256
01:10:02,760 --> 01:10:06,400
You're 100. 
OK, your your floor is A9. 

1257
01:10:07,440 --> 01:10:11,880
OK, seven point. 1/6 though. 
Oh my God. 

1258
01:10:11,880 --> 01:10:18,600
No, trust me, it is is great. 
I I like that it's 17 plus. 

1259
01:10:18,600 --> 01:10:23,280
Sometimes with the subject 
matter, sometimes if sad things 

1260
01:10:23,280 --> 01:10:27,360
happen in these types of shows, 
people get mad and lower the 

1261
01:10:27,360 --> 01:10:29,160
score. 
I don't know why this is lower, 

1262
01:10:29,160 --> 01:10:32,680
but like that's a potential 
reason people get mad when not 

1263
01:10:32,680 --> 01:10:36,120
happy things happen in anime. 
Anyways, that being said, I 

1264
01:10:36,120 --> 01:10:39,840
wanted Nori to lose. 
When people die in the death 

1265
01:10:39,840 --> 01:10:42,040
game anime. 
Oh no. 

1266
01:10:44,840 --> 01:10:46,640
Yeah, there you go. 
All right, Well, what are we 

1267
01:10:46,640 --> 01:10:50,480
nominating then for two weeks 
after that? 

1268
01:10:50,480 --> 01:10:54,680
That'll be Memorial Day. 
So your show that you nominate 

1269
01:10:54,680 --> 01:10:58,920
must contain at least one 
American character that has 

1270
01:10:58,920 --> 01:11:01,040
served, by the way, too, because
it's Memorial Day. 

1271
01:11:01,040 --> 01:11:04,000
Because 4th of July, duh, would 
be the America Day this is. 

1272
01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:07,080
So we need veterans. 
We need military veterans or 

1273
01:11:07,080 --> 01:11:09,360
active service members. 
OK. 

1274
01:11:09,800 --> 01:11:11,520
In this show, what have you got,
Pete? 

1275
01:11:11,680 --> 01:11:15,160
I'm nominating a few good men. 
Then I guess like you want the 

1276
01:11:15,160 --> 01:11:17,280
truth, handle the truth. 
It's. 

1277
01:11:17,360 --> 01:11:19,000
One of my favorite movies, it's 
so good. 

1278
01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:22,600
It's a great film. 
Real talk though, Sox has some 

1279
01:11:22,600 --> 01:11:25,920
dirt on me though. 
He he he threw out a 

1280
01:11:25,920 --> 01:11:28,720
recommendation and I like it a 
lot. 

1281
01:11:28,720 --> 01:11:31,720
So I'm going to nominate the 
live action movie of Speed 

1282
01:11:31,720 --> 01:11:34,000
Racer. 
Sure. 

1283
01:11:34,000 --> 01:11:35,280
All right. 
Sure. 

1284
01:11:36,440 --> 01:11:38,200
Is there not an anime that's 
like short enough? 

1285
01:11:38,200 --> 01:11:40,400
I think it's like. 
Episodes or something? 

1286
01:11:40,640 --> 01:11:43,000
Yeah, it's, well, it's like a, 
it's a kids cartoon, like a 

1287
01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:45,960
Saturday, you know, like nothing
of consequence ever happens. 

1288
01:11:45,960 --> 01:11:48,200
Kind of, I don't know, like show
it's. 

1289
01:11:48,240 --> 01:11:52,400
Pretty sure something happens 
immediately that show. 

1290
01:11:53,440 --> 01:11:56,440
Not I mean, well, I mean like. 
It's like a syndicated you're, 

1291
01:11:56,920 --> 01:11:58,200
you're. 
Yes, yeah. 

1292
01:11:58,520 --> 01:12:00,960
Yeah, like, like it's like you 
watch Pokémon and it's 

1293
01:12:00,960 --> 01:12:01,680
Syndicate. 
Yeah. 

1294
01:12:01,680 --> 01:12:03,480
There you go. 
OK, syndicated was the word I 

1295
01:12:03,480 --> 01:12:04,440
was looking for, but fair 
enough. 

1296
01:12:04,680 --> 01:12:05,720
All right, well, I guess we'll 
do that. 

1297
01:12:05,720 --> 01:12:07,480
You know, the live action movie?
That sounds interesting. 

1298
01:12:07,800 --> 01:12:12,240
Yeah. 
It's miles to episodes, Pete. 

1299
01:12:12,240 --> 01:12:24,360
Am I allowed to nominate Tokopi?
Sure. 

1300
01:12:24,880 --> 01:12:31,600
You can say no if you want to. 
Actually, you know, for this 

1301
01:12:31,600 --> 01:12:35,200
type of setting, it's OK, OK, 
I'd rather watch it with you 

1302
01:12:35,200 --> 01:12:38,360
guys than like by myself. 
OK, cool. 

1303
01:12:38,720 --> 01:12:44,000
I'm going to do Toke P's 
original Sudden, which is a show

1304
01:12:44,000 --> 01:12:46,560
that did really, really, really 
well last year. 

1305
01:12:46,560 --> 01:12:48,720
It was our runner. 
Up for Anime of the Year I. 

1306
01:12:48,720 --> 01:12:53,560
Believe it was yes, and people 
have said it it it does the 

1307
01:12:53,560 --> 01:12:57,920
stuff that I like, so there you 
go. 

1308
01:12:58,840 --> 01:13:02,760
Therefore, I will nominate it. 
I like that that that's sound 

1309
01:13:02,760 --> 01:13:06,720
logic. 
I got go speed racers OP stuck 

1310
01:13:06,720 --> 01:13:08,280
in my. 
Or maybe not OP, just the song. 

1311
01:13:08,280 --> 01:13:09,680
That's singing in the episode of
it. 

1312
01:13:09,880 --> 01:13:12,160
Go speed Racer. 
Go speed. 

1313
01:13:12,320 --> 01:13:15,200
Racer, I got stuck in my head 
and I just can't. 

1314
01:13:15,200 --> 01:13:17,880
Think of why else right now did 
they come out this year? 

1315
01:13:18,360 --> 01:13:23,520
No, I keep on like 2000 and 
what? 

1316
01:13:23,520 --> 01:13:26,960
OK, Have you never seen it? 
Why were we talking about it? 

1317
01:13:27,440 --> 01:13:31,160
Oh because it just got it was it
got like re released in IMAX 

1318
01:13:31,160 --> 01:13:36,640
like last week for like a day 
and also the movie fox it is 

1319
01:13:36,680 --> 01:13:39,600
great. 
Wait, is this the one with the 

1320
01:13:39,600 --> 01:13:42,600
white dude is the main speed 
racer guy? 

1321
01:13:43,560 --> 01:13:47,080
Yeah, it's a, it's a feature 
film, of course, a like. 

1322
01:13:47,480 --> 01:13:48,720
Holy shit. 
OK. 

1323
01:13:52,160 --> 01:13:55,000
It's like the Dragon Ball movie.
Of course, Goku's white. 

1324
01:13:57,440 --> 01:14:00,640
His name's Goku. 
He's just some interest John 

1325
01:14:00,640 --> 01:14:01,720
Goodman's in this. 
Movie. 

1326
01:14:01,720 --> 01:14:03,400
He's his dad. 
The movie's great. 

1327
01:14:03,440 --> 01:14:04,920
I'm telling you, the movie is 
fantastic. 

1328
01:14:06,200 --> 01:14:09,080
Movie has a 6.1 on IMDb. 
They're wrong. 

1329
01:14:09,160 --> 01:14:15,000
The movie's good. 
OK, all right, that's Speed 

1330
01:14:15,000 --> 01:14:16,480
Racer movie. 
There we go. 

1331
01:14:17,760 --> 01:14:18,880
Go Speed Racer. 
Go. 

1332
01:14:19,320 --> 01:14:22,440
I am going to nominate my happy 
marriage again because it will 

1333
01:14:22,440 --> 01:14:25,240
eventually win, I think. 
I think people like it and will 

1334
01:14:25,240 --> 01:14:27,600
vote for it. 
YouTube won't vote for it 

1335
01:14:27,600 --> 01:14:28,840
because you've already seen it 
before. 

1336
01:14:28,840 --> 01:14:31,920
But think about like little poor
old me who hasn't seen it. 

1337
01:14:31,920 --> 01:14:34,880
So he would like dude. 
I might, I'm not trying to watch

1338
01:14:35,240 --> 01:14:37,280
Speed Racer. 
I literally keep the manga on my

1339
01:14:37,280 --> 01:14:39,360
desk. 
There you go. 

1340
01:14:39,360 --> 01:14:42,240
I would very much appreciate it 
if you guys voted for it for me.

1341
01:14:42,240 --> 01:14:46,520
Do it for me, you know? 
We got to do a thing where each 

1342
01:14:46,520 --> 01:14:50,200
of us gets a a token once a 
year, OK? 

1343
01:14:50,200 --> 01:14:54,040
And Pete just cast in his token 
and it's just for a completely 

1344
01:14:54,040 --> 01:14:59,000
illegal fucking nomination like.
Anime and Jason, it's fine like 

1345
01:14:59,000 --> 01:15:02,000
we've nominated like Blue 
Samurai. 

1346
01:15:03,080 --> 01:15:06,000
Yeah, we've just never done a 
live action movie before. 

1347
01:15:06,040 --> 01:15:08,000
A live action is a bit of a 
stretch I guess. 

1348
01:15:08,000 --> 01:15:09,080
Is there not a? 
Is there a? 

1349
01:15:09,640 --> 01:15:13,440
Is there an an anime? 
Watch the movie is better than 

1350
01:15:13,480 --> 01:15:16,760
the anime, I guarantee you. 
Well, no, but is there an anime 

1351
01:15:16,760 --> 01:15:19,560
movie for Speed Racer that we 
could just dive into? 

1352
01:15:20,200 --> 01:15:25,320
No context at. 
Least at least on Mal. 

1353
01:15:25,320 --> 01:15:27,120
But trust me, you want to watch 
this. 

1354
01:15:27,120 --> 01:15:31,720
The people want us to watch it. 
And who am I to deny the people?

1355
01:15:33,480 --> 01:15:36,960
Just the person in charge. 
Raced a movie The 1967 classic 

1356
01:15:36,960 --> 01:15:40,720
that that's a compilation of 
three episodes of the iconic 

1357
01:15:40,720 --> 01:15:42,920
anime series. 
Path. 

1358
01:15:43,880 --> 01:15:47,000
I think we'll pass on a 19. 60 
Can we also watch that? 

1359
01:15:47,760 --> 01:15:50,920
You can watch the racer wings. 
Go for it, it's like only an 

1360
01:15:50,920 --> 01:15:52,080
hour. 
Hey. 

1361
01:15:52,480 --> 01:15:54,280
I would do that you. 
Have so much free time, Miles, 

1362
01:15:54,280 --> 01:16:00,400
why don't you go watch it? 
OK, Pete, I just want to watch a

1363
01:16:00,440 --> 01:16:03,560
67 anime. 
We're watching that one. 2008 

1364
01:16:03,640 --> 01:16:07,280
Anime. 
I think that would be neat if we

1365
01:16:07,280 --> 01:16:09,280
did that. 
You can nominate it next time. 

1366
01:16:10,840 --> 01:16:13,560
OK. 
All right, well, I was the only 

1367
01:16:13,560 --> 01:16:16,400
one who followed the theme by 
dominating a military brat. 

1368
01:16:16,480 --> 01:16:19,760
Oh. 
Sorry, I meant to to nominate 

1369
01:16:19,880 --> 01:16:23,640
Fate Strange Fake, which takes 
place in America and contains a 

1370
01:16:23,640 --> 01:16:26,960
service member, so you're 
welcome. 

1371
01:16:27,120 --> 01:16:29,840
Yep. 
There we go. 

1372
01:16:29,920 --> 01:16:34,480
Thank you guys. 
I will later it's it's on my 

1373
01:16:34,480 --> 01:16:36,200
short list. 
OK, sick because. 

1374
01:16:36,680 --> 01:16:38,480
You won't be allowed to. 
Yeah, you could. 

1375
01:16:39,480 --> 01:16:41,880
No, it's the theme week, duh. 
No, obviously not. 

1376
01:16:42,800 --> 01:16:46,680
I mean, Pete, would you much 
rather me do that than Tokopi? 

1377
01:16:46,880 --> 01:16:49,040
Yes. 
OK. 

1378
01:16:51,760 --> 01:16:53,840
Let's see if I can edit it 
before anyone says we votes. 

1379
01:16:55,600 --> 01:16:57,440
So are you? 
That'll be the deciding factor. 

1380
01:16:57,440 --> 01:17:00,000
For the podcast, are you 
changing your nomination? 

1381
01:17:00,640 --> 01:17:02,400
Yeah, yeah, I'll do. 
I'll do Fazer and Trake. 

1382
01:17:02,520 --> 01:17:05,560
Perfect, perfect. 
If you're not like super jazzed 

1383
01:17:05,560 --> 01:17:08,440
about which I get like, you 
know, I'm not trying to torture 

1384
01:17:08,440 --> 01:17:09,960
you, dude. 
Well, it's like one of those 

1385
01:17:09,960 --> 01:17:13,640
things was like, what are anime 
or he got a runner up for Amy of

1386
01:17:13,640 --> 01:17:15,760
the year. 
But it has content that I really

1387
01:17:15,760 --> 01:17:18,280
don't like watching. 
So it's a double edged sword I 

1388
01:17:18,280 --> 01:17:20,280
feel like, but. 
OK, I actually I've already 

1389
01:17:20,280 --> 01:17:22,120
gotten 2 first place votes for 
Tucker. 

1390
01:17:22,120 --> 01:17:23,680
That's fine. 
So I think it's a little. 

1391
01:17:24,480 --> 01:17:26,760
Probably when you can nominate 
Fate next week. 

1392
01:17:27,320 --> 01:17:30,160
OK, now let's just do that. 
Easy Dubs. 

1393
01:17:30,280 --> 01:17:32,360
Or vote for my happy marriage. 
There you go. 

1394
01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:35,120
There we go. 
Pat out it ain't with. 

1395
01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:39,520
It it's done well, it has come 
in second a couple times. 

1396
01:17:39,520 --> 01:17:43,480
This usual time shows, so it is,
and it got a legacy point this 

1397
01:17:43,480 --> 01:17:45,560
past week, which has to mean 
something. 

1398
01:17:46,640 --> 01:17:51,120
You've been nominating Princess 
Principle movies for five years.

1399
01:17:51,160 --> 01:17:57,480
They still have not one. 
I think the issue with that is 

1400
01:17:57,480 --> 01:18:00,280
that me, who would normally be 
the biggest proponent of trying 

1401
01:18:00,280 --> 01:18:03,360
to get those done besides Pat, 
just decided to watch them, and 

1402
01:18:03,400 --> 01:18:04,520
I've just watched them. 
All. 

1403
01:18:04,840 --> 01:18:10,400
Just like yeah, I did it. 
Sad days, sad days. 

1404
01:18:10,400 --> 01:18:14,520
I work so hard and this is the. 
The issue, the other issue is 

1405
01:18:14,520 --> 01:18:18,320
that besides literally the three
of us, the amount of turnover 

1406
01:18:18,400 --> 01:18:22,840
that this segment has had since 
we watched pre pre during like 

1407
01:18:22,840 --> 01:18:26,720
episode 3 or whatever of this 
fucking thing is massive it. 

1408
01:18:27,680 --> 01:18:32,960
Was episode 2, by the way, we 
watched Maiden Abyss and then 

1409
01:18:32,960 --> 01:18:35,800
now we're at Princess Principal.
Yeah, I don't remember any of 

1410
01:18:35,800 --> 01:18:38,400
the faces of the. 
You could show me like 20 

1411
01:18:38,400 --> 01:18:42,560
different maid or like 
schoolgirl, gothic schoolgirl 

1412
01:18:43,000 --> 01:18:46,040
characters. 
And I could not tell you which 

1413
01:18:46,040 --> 01:18:49,200
of the four were like the main 
cast of Princess Principal. 

1414
01:18:49,200 --> 01:18:52,720
But it's steampunk. 
It's pretty cool. 

1415
01:18:52,720 --> 01:18:54,080
Pretty cool. 
But that's not what I nominated 

1416
01:18:54,080 --> 01:18:55,120
again. 
My happy marriage. 

1417
01:18:55,120 --> 01:18:57,000
There we go. 
But yes, that'll wrap up Watch 

1418
01:18:57,000 --> 01:18:59,280
Club 4 tonight. 
I am so freaking hungry. 

1419
01:18:59,800 --> 01:19:04,040
What and my what's my next line?
My next line is thank you so 

1420
01:19:04,040 --> 01:19:05,880
much for listening and Pete, 
take it away, please. 

1421
01:19:05,880 --> 01:19:07,560

Anime List review game we'll be

1426

11th edition though.
