1
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:11,880
Oh, me. 
Now I'm finally fulfilled. 

2
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:16,079
This is what my heart's been 
waiting for. 

3
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:17,080
Home. 
Me now. 

4
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:19,360
I'm finally. 
Fulfilled. 

5
00:00:22,020 --> 00:00:23,860
Hello ladies and gentlemen, 
welcome to what do you say 

6
00:00:23,860 --> 00:00:24,980
Anime? 
I'm your house Peter. 

7
00:00:25,140 --> 00:00:27,820
At today's episode we will be 
reviewing the recently wrapped 

8
00:00:27,820 --> 00:00:31,700
up Spring 2023 anime lineup. 
Warning ahead, there will be 

9
00:00:31,700 --> 00:00:33,540
spoilers for the shows that we 
are talking about. 

10
00:00:34,020 --> 00:00:36,060
On the description below there 
will be time stamps for each 

11
00:00:36,060 --> 00:00:39,780
show we are reviewing. 
Second warning, this episode is 

12
00:00:39,900 --> 00:00:42,980
probably going to be very 
positive, so if you hate being 

13
00:00:42,980 --> 00:00:45,380
positive, this probably the 
episode for you. 

14
00:00:46,060 --> 00:00:49,300
Joining me on what? 
Why'd you invite me then? 

15
00:00:50,780 --> 00:00:53,620
It's like the Ying and Yang. 
I gotta have some contrast. 

16
00:00:53,740 --> 00:00:54,940
Weak. 
Strong. 

17
00:00:56,380 --> 00:01:00,100
Join me on our adventure today. 
We have sick Miles and healthy 

18
00:01:00,100 --> 00:01:01,940
Jay. 
Gentlemen, how are we doing 

19
00:01:01,940 --> 00:01:03,860
today? 
Healthy. 

20
00:01:05,180 --> 00:01:06,820
You look healthy. 
Thank you. 

21
00:01:07,220 --> 00:01:08,500
What about you, Miles? 
Sick. 

22
00:01:09,060 --> 00:01:10,980
I'm great. 
I've never been better. 

23
00:01:11,100 --> 00:01:14,500
I'm this is everyone is 
expecting, you know. 

24
00:01:15,980 --> 00:01:18,620
I'm well rested. 
I got like 10 hours of sleep. 

25
00:01:19,980 --> 00:01:21,940
I'm gonna bring the energy 
today. 

26
00:01:22,420 --> 00:01:23,860
I'm gonna work out later 
probably. 

27
00:01:24,100 --> 00:01:25,540
Hell yeah. 
Love to see it. 

28
00:01:25,940 --> 00:01:28,500
I'm going to fall asleep as soon
as we're done recording this and

29
00:01:28,500 --> 00:01:32,060
a little behind baseball. 
This is about 3:00 PM my time. 

30
00:01:32,420 --> 00:01:34,740
Yes, hopefully you get your you 
dismissed. 

31
00:01:34,860 --> 00:01:37,500
Inside baseball and behind the 
scenes? 

32
00:01:38,460 --> 00:01:40,220
Yep. 
Instead behind base, OK. 

33
00:01:42,060 --> 00:01:43,500
That's right, I say. 
Behind baseball, yeah. 

34
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,640
I think that's the name of like 
a character and Death Note. 

35
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,400
We're doing great today, yeah. 
As you can see, Miles is a 

36
00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,520
little loopy and Jay is on point
Jum and let's jump into our 

37
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,000
first show that we are 
reviewing. 

38
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:07,120
The highly anticipated show from
when we previewed it, one of our

39
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:11,240
favorites and by ours, I've been
me and Miles and we are 

40
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,340
reviewing. 
Oh, she don't go. 

41
00:02:13,900 --> 00:02:15,900
Jay enjoys it. 
Jay enjoys it. 

42
00:02:15,900 --> 00:02:18,100
Me and Miles I think are a 
little higher than Jay on it, 

43
00:02:18,100 --> 00:02:21,060
but Jay is also a reader of the.
Manga. 

44
00:02:21,940 --> 00:02:27,220
Not a hated yeah and I'll I'll 
say me and Miles are just on 

45
00:02:27,220 --> 00:02:31,700
like another level in terms of 
how intrigued and how like into.

46
00:02:32,340 --> 00:02:35,740
You guys are stands. 
Yes, I am a fan. 

47
00:02:36,060 --> 00:02:39,100
Yes, and unfortunately Miles is 
a Ruby shipper. 

48
00:02:41,650 --> 00:02:44,130
Come full circle on it. 
Fucking let's watch it burn 

49
00:02:44,130 --> 00:02:46,050
down, baby. 
Just terrible. 

50
00:02:46,050 --> 00:02:49,450
But that being said, we got the 
first season, second season has 

51
00:02:49,450 --> 00:02:52,330
been announced. 
Had my complaints coming or not 

52
00:02:52,330 --> 00:02:55,290
complaints, concerns coming into
it with Doga Cola at the helm 

53
00:02:55,970 --> 00:02:59,450
doing this as they have been 
only really doing mediocre to 

54
00:02:59,490 --> 00:03:02,970
average anime and I think that 
this was sort of like their 

55
00:03:02,970 --> 00:03:06,010
shining moment in terms of kind 
of elevating themselves as a 

56
00:03:06,010 --> 00:03:07,850
studio. 
Going forward, I hope to see 

57
00:03:07,850 --> 00:03:11,130
them continue this level of 
productions and other. 

58
00:03:11,610 --> 00:03:13,090
Anime properties that they pick 
up. 

59
00:03:14,210 --> 00:03:17,810
I thought they did a fantastic 
adaptation of this story just 

60
00:03:17,810 --> 00:03:23,290
from what we got. 
It sets it up for the what's it 

61
00:03:23,290 --> 00:03:26,610
called, Tokyo Blade Arc, The 
stage play arc, which was great 

62
00:03:26,810 --> 00:03:29,330
Throughout the entire series 
though I thought that this was 

63
00:03:29,330 --> 00:03:33,130
just really well done. 
Just starting with the LP Idol 

64
00:03:33,130 --> 00:03:36,690
is like the biggest anime 
opening maybe ever according to 

65
00:03:36,690 --> 00:03:40,170
like charts. 
I think that show or that OP has

66
00:03:40,170 --> 00:03:42,610
just taken the world by storm 
now, to the point where it's a 

67
00:03:42,610 --> 00:03:45,850
little annoying hearing it 
everywhere. 

68
00:03:45,850 --> 00:03:50,250
But that being said, yeah, just 
just really a really great 

69
00:03:50,450 --> 00:03:53,330
adaptation of this, this first 
part of Ocean Oko. 

70
00:03:53,330 --> 00:03:55,650
I'm really happy with how 
everything turned out. 

71
00:03:56,050 --> 00:03:58,890
The voice actors, the 
characters, all that jazz was 

72
00:03:59,050 --> 00:04:00,370
great. 
Jay, what were your thoughts on 

73
00:04:00,370 --> 00:04:04,870
the first season of Ocean Oko? 
So I think I mirrored your 

74
00:04:05,230 --> 00:04:08,790
hesitation whenever I heard 
about Doga Kobo being the ones 

75
00:04:08,790 --> 00:04:12,990
in charge of the adaptation, as 
well as like pretty much anybody

76
00:04:12,990 --> 00:04:15,190
I think, who was pretty familiar
with Doga Kobo. 

77
00:04:15,190 --> 00:04:20,550
They do not have the greatest 
track record, but they knocked 

78
00:04:20,550 --> 00:04:24,510
out of the park with this. 
I did say whenever we were 

79
00:04:24,510 --> 00:04:27,350
previewing it, I did not think 
that everything was going to be 

80
00:04:27,350 --> 00:04:30,350
to the level of the preview that
we saw, which was the first 

81
00:04:30,350 --> 00:04:32,710
episode. 
And I think it's safe to say 

82
00:04:32,710 --> 00:04:35,550
that I was correct about that. 
There were definitely a few 

83
00:04:35,550 --> 00:04:39,710
spots where the CG use in the 
character models was a bit wonky

84
00:04:39,710 --> 00:04:43,470
for me, specifically with Aqua's
character model, sometimes in 

85
00:04:43,470 --> 00:04:45,590
his hair. 
And that was a good point I had 

86
00:04:45,590 --> 00:04:48,350
from the start too, by the way. 
I thought his hair was going to 

87
00:04:48,350 --> 00:04:52,830
be wonky and it was. 
But other than that, like the 

88
00:04:53,430 --> 00:04:56,430
everything else was pretty much 
on point in my opinion. 

89
00:04:56,430 --> 00:04:58,310
The voice acting incredible 
like. 

90
00:04:58,710 --> 00:05:03,390
They got re Takahashi to do I 
for like an hour or something 

91
00:05:03,390 --> 00:05:05,990
like that. 
It was awesome and she did 

92
00:05:05,990 --> 00:05:08,390
great. 
And then like the like the 

93
00:05:08,390 --> 00:05:10,710
leads? 
Very solid in my opinion. 

94
00:05:10,990 --> 00:05:14,830
The whoever's playing Aqua, I 
don't know the say use name off 

95
00:05:14,830 --> 00:05:17,230
the top of my head, but he's 
making awkward. 

96
00:05:18,670 --> 00:05:23,230
He's making Aqua just as much of
a fucking like creepy dweeb as I

97
00:05:23,230 --> 00:05:24,870
want him to be, and that's 
great. 

98
00:05:25,670 --> 00:05:28,150
I need people to not come 
incorrectly with it. 

99
00:05:28,150 --> 00:05:29,750
Aqua is not cool. 
He is. 

100
00:05:30,590 --> 00:05:32,990
He is an off putting weird 
child. 

101
00:05:33,950 --> 00:05:39,030
Yeah, I don't know like the 
attention to detail that Docobo 

102
00:05:39,030 --> 00:05:42,550
went into really just kind of. 
I hope that they can keep it up 

103
00:05:42,550 --> 00:05:45,110
with their next series because 
they really elevated it with 

104
00:05:45,110 --> 00:05:48,230
like how they do like the eyes 
and stuff in this adaptation. 

105
00:05:48,230 --> 00:05:52,430
In my opinion, they'd really. 
Oshinoko was one of those where 

106
00:05:52,430 --> 00:05:55,910
when we read it, I think that I 
probably said in the review like

107
00:05:56,270 --> 00:05:59,670
this being in color would 
elevate it based on just like 

108
00:05:59,670 --> 00:06:01,510
the volume covers and stuff like
that. 

109
00:06:01,950 --> 00:06:05,670
And I think that this adaptation
kind of proves that during the 

110
00:06:05,670 --> 00:06:08,470
mid season review, I did mention
that I think that they could 

111
00:06:08,470 --> 00:06:12,990
have done a little bit more with
the OST in general like Amazing 

112
00:06:12,990 --> 00:06:17,030
Opie and Ed aside, I think that 
they didn't really do a whole 

113
00:06:17,030 --> 00:06:20,430
lot with music in this show, 
which is kind of. 

114
00:06:21,180 --> 00:06:27,220
Disappointing considering you 
know the themes and setting of 

115
00:06:27,220 --> 00:06:33,380
the show so that like the wonky 
CGI at points for Aqua and the 

116
00:06:33,500 --> 00:06:38,860
lack of kind of utilizing the 
OST or more or less my main 

117
00:06:38,860 --> 00:06:41,620
complaints with it. 
Everything else though, like 

118
00:06:41,780 --> 00:06:45,140
it's a pretty good adaptation 
overall, I think that. 

119
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,720
We can all agree that they 
should have held a little bit 

120
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:55,480
more time on the your star scene
because that is it's like a full

121
00:06:55,480 --> 00:07:00,640
double spread in the manga. 
And I think for some important 

122
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,600
moments like that you should 
really just like that should 

123
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,760
have been like a key moment in 
the series. 

124
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,800
You know, like right up there 
with like the stuff from the 

125
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:13,320
first episode with I, in my 
opinion, so like solid 

126
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,400
adaptation. 
Overall like very good. 

127
00:07:15,700 --> 00:07:18,220
There's a few things that I wish
they would have done better 

128
00:07:18,220 --> 00:07:22,220
though, which I know. 
It's just kind of like it's 

129
00:07:22,220 --> 00:07:25,780
complaining about the the 
breakout show of the season. 

130
00:07:25,780 --> 00:07:29,820
But like, I don't know, I just, 
it could have been better. 

131
00:07:29,820 --> 00:07:32,580
In my opinion, it could have 
been even better is more of how 

132
00:07:32,580 --> 00:07:35,700
I should phrase that. 
What do you think, Miles? 

133
00:07:36,700 --> 00:07:40,780
So I mean, I think I definitely 
agree with some of those 

134
00:07:40,780 --> 00:07:44,180
nitpicks, right, like the. 
The sound design and everything 

135
00:07:44,180 --> 00:07:47,220
other than like when the Ed goes
like when it goes into like 

136
00:07:47,220 --> 00:07:50,460
every moment they had of that 
was like Oh yes, thousand of 10.

137
00:07:50,460 --> 00:07:53,620
But you know, I I agree with 
that but I don't think it really

138
00:07:53,860 --> 00:07:57,940
hurt my enjoyment at all because
I was just so excited to see it 

139
00:07:57,940 --> 00:08:00,820
done. 
Well, I actually had some hope 

140
00:08:00,820 --> 00:08:04,140
with Dogo Coba because like the 
Shiki Mori I think was like the 

141
00:08:04,140 --> 00:08:07,420
last thing they did and it 
looked it looked really good. 

142
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,800
And it was just kind of boring 
because I think the story's kind

143
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,840
of boring. 
And so I figured if they could 

144
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:18,880
really nail, you know, the 
adaptation of what's a good 

145
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,680
story, then you know the how it 
looks would come across. 

146
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:28,040
I think they did. 
Like my favorite scene from this

147
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,160
portion of the manga is when a 
Connie comes in and like, does 

148
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,640
the research and then has eyes, 
eyes when she, like, turns it 

149
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,309
on. 
Because that was like really 

150
00:08:37,309 --> 00:08:39,750
shocking to me because I was 
expecting it to do like the 

151
00:08:39,750 --> 00:08:43,669
whole, like no one can ever be I
sort of thing. 

152
00:08:43,669 --> 00:08:47,110
But they go with the different 
route on that where it's like I 

153
00:08:47,190 --> 00:08:49,870
that whole like thing is like I 
I as a liar. 

154
00:08:50,190 --> 00:08:53,670
It's like a fabrication that 
Aqua has been falling for his 

155
00:08:53,710 --> 00:08:58,670
entire life and it's, you know, 
manufactured and able to be 

156
00:08:59,110 --> 00:09:01,550
repeated and like the way that 
they did that with like into the

157
00:09:01,550 --> 00:09:03,590
Ed and everything I thought was 
phenomenal. 

158
00:09:05,410 --> 00:09:08,450
I I think that, you know, I like
the entire cast. 

159
00:09:10,090 --> 00:09:12,010
The colors were great. 
I'm trying to think if there's 

160
00:09:12,010 --> 00:09:13,410
anything that y'all haven't 
said. 

161
00:09:14,130 --> 00:09:17,610
I think that 01 way that I think
they they elevated it was the 

162
00:09:17,610 --> 00:09:21,290
social media team did like a 
really good job of putting out 

163
00:09:21,290 --> 00:09:28,010
green screen like GIF versions 
of different like kana eating 

164
00:09:28,010 --> 00:09:31,530
the baking soda or the peon 
dances. 

165
00:09:32,070 --> 00:09:36,150
Or just like me, moments that 
like you can promote the show 

166
00:09:36,150 --> 00:09:38,030
with. 
And I think that really helps 

167
00:09:38,030 --> 00:09:41,190
with like the community aspect 
of it. 

168
00:09:41,190 --> 00:09:44,630
You know, where we're watching 
something weekly and you get to 

169
00:09:44,630 --> 00:09:50,750
like build sort of like a, like,
I don't want to like, boil it 

170
00:09:50,750 --> 00:09:53,990
down to memes, but memes, right?
There's like a lot of memes 

171
00:09:54,230 --> 00:09:56,870
coming out of like, whatever. 
And it's like, oh, I liked this 

172
00:09:56,870 --> 00:10:00,230
moment and people also liked 
this moment and that makes me 

173
00:10:00,230 --> 00:10:03,890
feel good. 
You know, so I think it had like

174
00:10:03,890 --> 00:10:08,410
a lot of that coming for it. 
And so, yeah, I don't know, I I 

175
00:10:08,410 --> 00:10:09,530
really enjoyed it. 
I thought it was. 

176
00:10:09,690 --> 00:10:11,490
I thought it was a wonderful 
adaptation. 

177
00:10:11,490 --> 00:10:15,530
It was about as good as I could 
have hoped it it would be, you 

178
00:10:15,530 --> 00:10:19,530
know. 
So I very pleased with it. 

179
00:10:20,450 --> 00:10:22,290
Yeah, basically I have like what
Miles said. 

180
00:10:22,370 --> 00:10:24,570
I I do like the whole beam 
thing, the kind of eating the 

181
00:10:24,570 --> 00:10:27,610
baking soda someone like added 
her to like a Formula One race 

182
00:10:27,650 --> 00:10:30,010
and her crawling on the floor 
and going in F1 cars. 

183
00:10:30,010 --> 00:10:32,620
Super fun. 
Getting into the rating of 

184
00:10:32,620 --> 00:10:35,340
things of ocean alcohol, 
obviously I'm in very, very, 

185
00:10:35,340 --> 00:10:40,660
very biased towards this series.
I love just how unique and how 

186
00:10:40,660 --> 00:10:43,580
meta, or maybe not meta, but 
like how they kind of just dive 

187
00:10:43,580 --> 00:10:46,500
into the entertainment world and
construct the story while still 

188
00:10:46,500 --> 00:10:50,140
making it. 
Like anime is something that I 

189
00:10:50,140 --> 00:10:52,060
really gravitate towards in 
terms of stories. 

190
00:10:52,180 --> 00:10:55,540
The anime did a great job at 
elevating this with the visuals.

191
00:10:55,860 --> 00:10:58,420
I agree with Jay with the OST, I
did like it at the end. 

192
00:10:59,310 --> 00:11:03,910
When they did the starchy rain 
and our Sign is B song, but like

193
00:11:03,910 --> 00:11:08,190
that was really it. 
In terms of like something that 

194
00:11:08,190 --> 00:11:10,070
like stuck in my head in terms 
of OSC. 

195
00:11:10,070 --> 00:11:12,710
And I agree that they could have
elevated more throughout the 

196
00:11:12,710 --> 00:11:16,550
story. 
I mean just mostly for the 

197
00:11:16,550 --> 00:11:18,510
positives. 
Episode one was incredible. 

198
00:11:18,710 --> 00:11:20,350
I love how they adapted 
everything. 

199
00:11:20,790 --> 00:11:23,110
I also really enjoyed what Miles
said before the. 

200
00:11:23,940 --> 00:11:27,860
Akane's I seen also would Aqua 
saves her from committing 

201
00:11:27,860 --> 00:11:29,220
suicide. 
I thought that that was really 

202
00:11:29,220 --> 00:11:31,020
well done. 
They had that scene at the end 

203
00:11:31,020 --> 00:11:34,180
where like they promoted like 
national suicide awareness, like

204
00:11:34,260 --> 00:11:36,820
the hotlines and stuff like that
were like if you need help 

205
00:11:37,540 --> 00:11:40,620
here's you can reach out because
Akane's back story with that 

206
00:11:40,620 --> 00:11:44,420
social media bullying is based 
off of a real person and I 

207
00:11:44,420 --> 00:11:46,420
thought that they just handled 
it kind of well. 

208
00:11:46,420 --> 00:11:48,140
I think they could have done 
some things like behind the 

209
00:11:48,140 --> 00:11:53,260
scenes with Anna's family before
like really expressing that, 

210
00:11:53,260 --> 00:11:56,040
but. 
That being said, I loved Oceano 

211
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:57,960
Co with all my heart. 
I love the story. 

212
00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:59,520
I thought Douglas Coba did a 
great job. 

213
00:11:59,560 --> 00:12:04,520
I'm giving it A10I loved it. 
Yeah, I enjoyed it quite a bit 

214
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,680
as well. 
Like most of my complaints are 

215
00:12:06,680 --> 00:12:09,280
pretty like small. 
I wouldn't really say they 

216
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,680
really detracted overall for my 
like enjoyment of the show. 

217
00:12:12,680 --> 00:12:14,920
It's more of just like looking 
at ways that it could have 

218
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,240
elevated past where I already 
like it. 

219
00:12:18,540 --> 00:12:20,780
So to be short and sweet with 
this review because I don't 

220
00:12:20,780 --> 00:12:24,420
really have a ton to add on to 
for to what I said in my like 

221
00:12:24,420 --> 00:12:26,700
thoughts, I'm just going to go 
ahead and give this a nine out 

222
00:12:26,700 --> 00:12:29,740
of 10. 
Yeah. 

223
00:12:29,740 --> 00:12:34,540
And for me, you know, we've 
already mentioned how Pete and I

224
00:12:35,820 --> 00:12:41,140
are sucking at the anyways to 10
to now 10. 

225
00:12:41,220 --> 00:12:45,740
I'm a big fan. 
Two 10s and a nine for 

226
00:12:45,780 --> 00:12:52,090
Oceanelco. 
Moving on to our next show, we 

227
00:12:52,090 --> 00:12:57,730
have Villain Saga Season 2. 
Miles is going to take a break 

228
00:12:57,730 --> 00:13:04,130
while we discuss this lot of 
controversy to begin the series.

229
00:13:04,130 --> 00:13:07,290
I think the real ones stuck 
around and realize how great of 

230
00:13:07,330 --> 00:13:10,570
a story this is. 
The big things that stuck out to

231
00:13:10,570 --> 00:13:13,730
me during this entire season. 
There's a few episodes in 

232
00:13:13,730 --> 00:13:18,250
general Episode 3. 
Is when we kind of get the first

233
00:13:18,250 --> 00:13:24,050
real nightmare of Orphan and his
voice actor just portraying that

234
00:13:25,090 --> 00:13:29,090
nightmare, that horror that he's
gone through was something that 

235
00:13:29,090 --> 00:13:31,970
really stuck out to me. 
Is probably one of my if not 

236
00:13:31,970 --> 00:13:34,490
favorite voice acting 
performances this year. 

237
00:13:34,730 --> 00:13:38,570
He's definitely, probably my 
lead for male voice actors, just

238
00:13:38,730 --> 00:13:40,410
absolutely killed at this 
season. 

239
00:13:41,010 --> 00:13:43,970
The introduction of Inar, I 
thought he was a fantastic 

240
00:13:43,970 --> 00:13:47,720
supporting character. 
They devoted an entire episode 

241
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,240
towards his back story in the 
beginning, which was kind of 

242
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,000
interesting because I think a 
lot of people thought that we 

243
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,040
were going to jump right into 
Thorfin and then we get a full 

244
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,440
episode one dedicated to Einar 
and serve. 

245
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:01,280
His journey of how he ended up 
with Thorfin was fantastic. 

246
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:07,640
Episode 17 with I'm a Slaughter,
Her name Arnheid. 

247
00:14:11,620 --> 00:14:15,020
Just the the tribulations and 
trials that she's went through 

248
00:14:15,020 --> 00:14:20,660
as her being a slave and finding
like her husband is still alive 

249
00:14:20,660 --> 00:14:24,220
after all of these years and 
sort of just their journey of 

250
00:14:24,220 --> 00:14:27,140
sort of coming back together 
through death. 

251
00:14:27,140 --> 00:14:30,140
I guess I'll put it. 
Because her and her husband both

252
00:14:30,140 --> 00:14:36,100
passed away while they're on the
farm was just so great that 

253
00:14:36,100 --> 00:14:38,100
like, that's what they were 
longing for, was like the 

254
00:14:38,100 --> 00:14:40,130
family. 
Being back together and 

255
00:14:40,130 --> 00:14:41,170
unfortunately it's through 
death. 

256
00:14:41,170 --> 00:14:43,730
But like I thought just how it 
was told through the 

257
00:14:43,730 --> 00:14:46,970
storytelling was great. 
The Farmland arc itself was just

258
00:14:47,490 --> 00:14:51,810
a master class of storytelling 
through Canute. 

259
00:14:52,330 --> 00:14:55,530
Just like the what he's gone 
through, who he is as a person 

260
00:14:55,530 --> 00:14:59,050
now was fantastic. 
Man. 

261
00:14:59,050 --> 00:15:02,490
I want to ramble forever. 
Snake was such a cool character 

262
00:15:02,490 --> 00:15:05,370
to get added to this mercenary 
of like. 

263
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,160
Kind of misfits the best word 
but like all these people have 

264
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:13,000
kind of relinquished their names
and now they're they're animals 

265
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,920
but like now they're a family. 
And so like that group together 

266
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:21,360
was so cool is how everything 
came together at the end with 

267
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:26,400
like this battle but it's 
thorpens like resolve of not 

268
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:30,960
wanting to be the person that he
was before to solve this 

269
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:35,370
conflict was just. 
So great and I just, I can't 

270
00:15:35,370 --> 00:15:37,050
wait to see where the story 
progresses. 

271
00:15:37,770 --> 00:15:41,050
Jay, tell me your thoughts on 
Season 2 of Vinland Saga. 

272
00:15:42,050 --> 00:15:47,090
Yeah so this is like a story 
where like how you guys have a 

273
00:15:47,090 --> 00:15:50,570
bias for Oshi Noko. 
Like my bias is definitely for 

274
00:15:50,570 --> 00:15:54,290
Vinland Saga. 
I enjoyed it so much. 

275
00:15:54,290 --> 00:15:57,010
Like I went into this having 
already read this arc in the 

276
00:15:57,010 --> 00:15:59,900
manga I'm. 
Pretty close to current with The

277
00:15:59,900 --> 00:16:01,900
Monga. 
I'm a couple chapters behind now

278
00:16:01,900 --> 00:16:05,340
just because the release 
schedule is a bit off sometimes 

279
00:16:05,460 --> 00:16:08,620
due to it being monthly. 
But yeah, I already knew that 

280
00:16:08,620 --> 00:16:11,380
this was going to be awesome and
something that I enjoyed, but I 

281
00:16:11,380 --> 00:16:16,220
knew that people were going to 
get turned off from the change 

282
00:16:16,220 --> 00:16:20,020
in direction it had from season 
one, and I'm glad that, you 

283
00:16:20,020 --> 00:16:22,490
know. 
Both of us stuck around for it, 

284
00:16:22,490 --> 00:16:25,450
Obviously. 
I never in my mind thought that 

285
00:16:25,450 --> 00:16:28,250
you would drop it because there 
was less fighting or something 

286
00:16:28,250 --> 00:16:33,650
because yeah, that's it. 
You know, I if people want to do

287
00:16:33,650 --> 00:16:35,730
it, whatever. 
I just know we wouldn't do it. 

288
00:16:35,850 --> 00:16:39,570
And I know Miles is deafened, 
but I'm pretty sure he's not the

289
00:16:39,570 --> 00:16:41,250
type person where that's going 
to be. 

290
00:16:41,250 --> 00:16:43,010
Something I worry about from him
either. 

291
00:16:44,130 --> 00:16:46,170
The introduction of Anar. 
Amazing. 

292
00:16:46,250 --> 00:16:48,130
I love that guy. 
I think that like. 

293
00:16:48,490 --> 00:16:52,490
He is just the type of character
that Thor fin like needed at 

294
00:16:52,490 --> 00:16:54,730
that. 
Like that changed his character 

295
00:16:54,730 --> 00:16:57,810
arc forever and gave him like 
that seed. 

296
00:16:57,930 --> 00:17:01,850
Like it's really poetic because 
INR is like a farmer and that's 

297
00:17:01,850 --> 00:17:05,329
his thing is he loves to like 
cultivate and he basically like 

298
00:17:05,329 --> 00:17:07,650
cultivated Thor fed. 
Oh yeah. 

299
00:17:07,970 --> 00:17:09,530
Who he is, that's. 
A good way to put it. 

300
00:17:09,569 --> 00:17:12,089
Prove him into the person he is 
now, in a way. 

301
00:17:13,089 --> 00:17:15,650
Grooming, but good. 
Yeah, I mean. 

302
00:17:16,530 --> 00:17:23,010
Yeah, more or less, Yeah. 
Like the Also another character 

303
00:17:23,010 --> 00:17:27,930
that you didn't mention that was
a real one, Fairkel, the old 

304
00:17:27,930 --> 00:17:30,610
master. 
That guy was awesome. 

305
00:17:31,090 --> 00:17:35,050
Like just his whole arc with 
like helping Art hide and her 

306
00:17:35,050 --> 00:17:38,930
husband like attempt to get away
and giving them like the horses 

307
00:17:38,930 --> 00:17:41,610
and the cart and all that. 
I just loved it. 

308
00:17:41,610 --> 00:17:46,390
Like it really was like. 
A season that showed like, the 

309
00:17:46,390 --> 00:17:50,430
beauty of, like solidarity in 
general, in my opinion. 

310
00:17:50,430 --> 00:17:55,550
Like it showed like that. 
Really what it comes down to is 

311
00:17:55,550 --> 00:17:58,950
that you can only you need 
solidarity with the people 

312
00:17:58,950 --> 00:18:01,830
around you. 
Or else like outside forces can 

313
00:18:01,830 --> 00:18:05,590
come and like, just fuck you up.
And that's what happened at the 

314
00:18:05,590 --> 00:18:07,750
climax of it, you know, there 
wasn't like. 

315
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,760
Complete solidarity because of 
like Thorgill getting involved 

316
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,000
and stuff like that. 
And so they were just getting 

317
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:18,040
utterly demolished by the Yams 
Vikings who are like a fucking 

318
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:22,960
faceless efficient unit that 
just kills and pillages. 

319
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,360
And also fuck Floki. 
I'm glad that orphan see his 

320
00:18:27,360 --> 00:18:29,840
ass. 
I do agree with you that seeing 

321
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:31,640
like the change in Canute was 
awesome. 

322
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,200
The voice actors like you said 
just knocking out of the park. 

323
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,270
Thorfin Canute. 
Just everybody reprising their 

324
00:18:38,270 --> 00:18:40,390
roles. 
Like it was just super fun. 

325
00:18:41,390 --> 00:18:43,670
Yeah, I don't know. 
There's I could just gosh 

326
00:18:43,670 --> 00:18:45,670
forever about this. 
It feels like there's very 

327
00:18:45,670 --> 00:18:48,750
little about this that wasn't 
done well. 

328
00:18:49,150 --> 00:18:52,430
There was a few parts that were 
a few episodes that were kind of

329
00:18:52,430 --> 00:18:55,670
slow, but I'm the type of person
where I kind of enjoy like the 

330
00:18:56,230 --> 00:18:59,750
historical slice of life stuff 
and like seeing the process. 

331
00:18:59,750 --> 00:19:02,830
So that didn't really affect it 
all too much for me. 

332
00:19:04,420 --> 00:19:06,300
Should we move on to our closing
thoughts? 

333
00:19:06,340 --> 00:19:09,460
Yeah, yeah, let's do it. 
Didn't mention it earlier, but I

334
00:19:09,460 --> 00:19:14,540
thought they also did an 
incredible job doing 2 great O 

335
00:19:14,540 --> 00:19:18,180
P's and E D's. 
I do think River and Without 

336
00:19:18,180 --> 00:19:22,380
Love stood out, but the 
second-half I did enjoy the 

337
00:19:22,380 --> 00:19:25,460
OP&ED as well. 
Just Without love. 

338
00:19:25,620 --> 00:19:27,660
Would you have the context with 
the story? 

339
00:19:27,660 --> 00:19:31,500
Without Love was just like an 
Omega beggar Ed. 

340
00:19:31,500 --> 00:19:34,330
It's it just put me in my feels.
Yeah, I think that's what 

341
00:19:34,330 --> 00:19:37,050
they're trying to do with it and
they did a great job at doing 

342
00:19:37,050 --> 00:19:39,210
that. 
Jay mentioned it earlier. 

343
00:19:39,210 --> 00:19:41,210
I think there was some like 
directional things that were 

344
00:19:41,210 --> 00:19:44,810
just incredible. 
The the, the last fight, kind of

345
00:19:44,810 --> 00:19:47,850
how they changed the angles of 
how the fights were going on was

346
00:19:47,850 --> 00:19:52,490
just like incredible work. 
Like it was so well done and so 

347
00:19:52,490 --> 00:19:55,210
cool to see that different type 
of angle in a fight. 

348
00:19:56,250 --> 00:19:59,810
But just the the whole story was
just, I was intrigued. 

349
00:20:00,750 --> 00:20:03,750
Every second of every minute 
that I was watching the story. 

350
00:20:04,110 --> 00:20:09,430
Where I think what season one 
did great was mixing the action 

351
00:20:09,430 --> 00:20:12,670
with the story. 
This one was just almost 

352
00:20:12,790 --> 00:20:17,310
entirely pure story, and when 
I'm hooked on the dialogue and 

353
00:20:17,310 --> 00:20:19,990
nothing else, that says a lot to
how good the writing is. 

354
00:20:20,430 --> 00:20:22,390
This is by far my anime of the 
year. 

355
00:20:22,390 --> 00:20:25,710
It's not even close. 
This was one of the best sequels

356
00:20:25,710 --> 00:20:29,920
I've ever seen, period. 
I don't know if I have like a 

357
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:33,360
list in front of me, but it's 
pretty close to like Main Abyss 

358
00:20:33,360 --> 00:20:37,480
Season 2 levels for me, which is
really, really high. 

359
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:41,520
I bumped this from my #19 to #13
show of all time. 

360
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:43,920
I loved it. 
It was everything I wanted and 

361
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:47,680
more easy Ten One of the easiest
times I've ever had my entire 

362
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,200
life. 
Yeah, I just got to agree with 

363
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,160
everything you said. 
As well, it feels like when we 

364
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,640
were discussing Vinland Saga as 
it was coming out weekly, there 

365
00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:00,240
was like 4 or even five times 
where we would say Dang, that 

366
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,880
might have been like episode of 
the year. 

367
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,840
Yeah, yeah. 
Like episode 17. 

368
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:07,600
I remember that coming out. 
That's my. 

369
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,640
And then every episode after 
that is just a banger after 

370
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:15,920
banger after banger. 
Like it was just amazing. 

371
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:20,360
The director like the directing 
Shuhebuta. 

372
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,600
Just truly incredible. 
With that, I'm excited to see 

373
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,480
like everything that he does 
after this as well. 

374
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,680
Like, I'm excited to see the 
third season that was officially

375
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:31,240
announced. 
That's going to be awesome. 

376
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,120
Going to get some of the best 
characters in my opinion 

377
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,800
introduced. 
Then I was a little bit sad that

378
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,560
we didn't get like a little 
preview of the next season like 

379
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,280
they did at the end of the first
season. 

380
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,680
But hey, you know, I'll take 
what I can get. 

381
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:49,040
Yep, like Pete said, this is 
probably like 1. 

382
00:21:49,670 --> 00:21:51,750
This is the easiest Ted I've 
ever given. 

383
00:21:51,830 --> 00:21:55,550
Honestly, I like pretty much. 
I knew this. 

384
00:21:55,550 --> 00:21:59,910
The floor of it was like a high 
9 for me personally going in. 

385
00:21:59,910 --> 00:22:03,350
So like, yeah, 10 easily. 
Awesome. 

386
00:22:03,550 --> 00:22:07,350
Yeah, two 10s for me and Jay. 
You'll be hearing us talk about 

387
00:22:07,350 --> 00:22:10,190
this more probably during the 
Anime of the Year episode, but 

388
00:22:10,190 --> 00:22:12,830
yeah, just this incredible piece
of work. 

389
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,640
Moving on to our next property 
that we'll be talking about 

390
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:23,920
Hell's Paradise, Mapa's other 
story that they did this season.

391
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,560
The big thing for me, I guess 
with Hell's Paradise is kind of 

392
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,160
like the Twitter backlash when 
people were complaining about 

393
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,360
the production value of this, 
which I didn't personally see. 

394
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,800
I thought this was like pretty 
well done. 

395
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,080
Like, yeah, I know it's Mapa, 
but. 

396
00:22:40,580 --> 00:22:42,540
And I don't know if they 
expected the world, but even 

397
00:22:42,540 --> 00:22:45,180
stuff like Attack on Titan had 
pretty big production issues 

398
00:22:45,180 --> 00:22:47,780
that I thought were more glaring
than what I saw in Hell's 

399
00:22:47,780 --> 00:22:50,860
Paradise. 
They did one of the best things 

400
00:22:50,860 --> 00:22:54,100
that I love that in like these 
type of stories that shown and 

401
00:22:54,100 --> 00:22:57,460
normally doesn't do, but they 
did a great job, is giving me a 

402
00:22:57,460 --> 00:23:01,580
convincing threat where at any 
time I feel like somebody could 

403
00:23:01,580 --> 00:23:05,860
get merked. 
And I think that was just a 

404
00:23:05,860 --> 00:23:09,110
great addition to the story. 
I loved the tension that it 

405
00:23:09,110 --> 00:23:12,750
built throughout along with just
a really great cast of 

406
00:23:12,750 --> 00:23:15,150
characters. 
Props to also like the character

407
00:23:15,150 --> 00:23:17,150
design to this. 
I thought that was one of the 

408
00:23:17,150 --> 00:23:20,070
best from this year. 
I loved how people look like. 

409
00:23:20,070 --> 00:23:25,030
Yuza Hara was great. 
The blind Ausimon, I really like

410
00:23:25,030 --> 00:23:30,030
his character and then my boy 
Tensa RIPI really enjoyed his 

411
00:23:30,030 --> 00:23:32,990
like whole character thing. 
I thought just like the the cast

412
00:23:32,990 --> 00:23:35,830
was great and sort of like the 
twist at the end that. 

413
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:39,360
Maybe smarter people saw coming 
I didn't personally see coming 

414
00:23:39,360 --> 00:23:46,200
with a like Gabi Maru in this 
like brainwash type of like 

415
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,720
really being influenced by his 
elders to do this thing when 

416
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:53,560
it's not actually happened. 
I I just love the story, I love 

417
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,120
the action. 
The fights were great. 

418
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:59,920
My only real concern was in like
the last like episode like 

419
00:24:00,360 --> 00:24:04,550
9/10/11 when tow. 
Got introduced, it kind of felt 

420
00:24:04,550 --> 00:24:09,550
like everybody knew what toe was
all at the same time, which was 

421
00:24:09,550 --> 00:24:12,910
a little confusing for me where 
it's kind of never really 

422
00:24:12,910 --> 00:24:17,230
mentioned earlier in the story. 
And then it's like use of horror

423
00:24:17,230 --> 00:24:20,710
was like, Oh yeah, in my village
it's called like key or 

424
00:24:20,710 --> 00:24:23,750
something like that. 
It's like I I feel like that 

425
00:24:23,750 --> 00:24:26,510
should have been mentioned in 
the past or something like that,

426
00:24:26,510 --> 00:24:30,830
where like it's like to me it's 
like comparing it to Nen where. 

427
00:24:31,260 --> 00:24:34,780
I like how Nan was introduced 
and explained to us and tow 

428
00:24:35,220 --> 00:24:38,540
wasn't that level and I feel 
like they're kind of trying to 

429
00:24:38,540 --> 00:24:43,500
do something like with Nan, but.
No, it's sorry as somewhat I 

430
00:24:43,500 --> 00:24:47,220
just wanted to say to kind of 
put people's expectations where 

431
00:24:47,220 --> 00:24:51,340
they should be. 
Tau is not like a power system 

432
00:24:51,340 --> 00:24:55,140
that is going, it's not meant to
be an indepth power system like 

433
00:24:55,140 --> 00:24:58,540
Nan or chakra or something that 
it's just like. 

434
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,400
It's key in Dragon Ball. 
It's energy. 

435
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:03,840
Yeah. 
It's not like a, you know, I 

436
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:07,800
have a special towel that and I 
get it manifests this way or 

437
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:09,480
something like that. 
It's not. 

438
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,880
It's it's a pretty simple power 
system. 

439
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:14,840
Yeah. 
It's yeah, I guess that's why. 

440
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,240
Yeah, go ahead. 
I guess it's more of just like 

441
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:21,200
how it was introduced and how 
the cast kind of like 

442
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,840
acknowledged it was. 
I feel like that kind of plays 

443
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:30,620
into the fact that like. 
This, like the whole island, is 

444
00:25:30,620 --> 00:25:34,660
like an amalgamation of 
different cultures, you know? 

445
00:25:34,940 --> 00:25:36,540
Oh yeah, I do understand what 
you mean, though. 

446
00:25:36,540 --> 00:25:40,020
It could have been paced better.
Yeah, but I'm like 

447
00:25:40,060 --> 00:25:45,660
overwhelmingly positive on this.
I loved Gabi Maru sort of as 

448
00:25:45,660 --> 00:25:48,260
like the main. 
But at the same time, I feel 

449
00:25:48,260 --> 00:25:50,900
like we have maybe two or three 
main leads with this story kind 

450
00:25:50,900 --> 00:25:53,300
of interweaving. 
A big fan of that. 

451
00:25:53,900 --> 00:25:55,060
I mentioned the character 
design. 

452
00:25:55,060 --> 00:25:58,360
This is just like really fun. 
This is like the type of shown 

453
00:25:58,360 --> 00:25:59,960
in that I really gravitate 
towards. 

454
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:04,120
I like this more than like the 
Black Clovers, the my heroes, 

455
00:26:04,120 --> 00:26:07,440
the demon slayers. 
This to me was kind of like 

456
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:13,520
taking that type of battle shown
in and elevating it with better.

457
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:19,240
I think like just a great cast. 
Fun animations, the the the 

458
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,440
world that they're in as well 
was just great. 

459
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:24,240
The monsters were like 
terrifying, like the bugs with 

460
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:25,880
faces. 
That's so cool. 

461
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:28,840
I'll pass over to Jay, He's a 
Source reader. 

462
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:33,200
But yeah, huge positives for me.
Yeah, so honestly, like going 

463
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:38,440
into this, I didn't really have 
huge expectations. 

464
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:44,520
I actually was getting kind of 
like, nervous as it got closer 

465
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,680
to being released because I was 
like, man, I hope that it's done

466
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:51,560
at least somewhat well so people
don't just like, you know, hate 

467
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,720
the anime and they don't want to
see like the source, read the 

468
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:58,050
source, mature or whatever. 
But I was pretty pleasantly 

469
00:26:58,050 --> 00:27:00,290
surprised. 
Like it had moments of popping 

470
00:27:00,290 --> 00:27:03,610
off, for sure. 
Definitely some production gaps.

471
00:27:05,370 --> 00:27:07,890
So I understand why people 
brought those up. 

472
00:27:08,410 --> 00:27:15,210
But I think overall, like, like 
you said it AOT and stuff like 

473
00:27:15,210 --> 00:27:18,410
that, like Mapa's other works 
they have, they tend to have at 

474
00:27:18,410 --> 00:27:20,770
least some kind of production 
gaps every now and then, 

475
00:27:20,770 --> 00:27:24,100
unfortunately. 
Like, that's just big studio 

476
00:27:24,100 --> 00:27:26,460
problems. 
I think is that you have like 

477
00:27:26,900 --> 00:27:30,340
variable quality. 
And like, I think with Hell's 

478
00:27:30,340 --> 00:27:33,340
Paradise, the writing for some 
of it was kind of on the wall 

479
00:27:33,340 --> 00:27:37,380
with the trailer having like a 
ton of like random key animators

480
00:27:37,380 --> 00:27:40,420
who didn't have it, like weren't
really big names and stuff like 

481
00:27:40,420 --> 00:27:42,980
that. 
Like I said, I was pretty 

482
00:27:42,980 --> 00:27:45,820
pleasantly surprised by this. 
I think that the voice cast 

483
00:27:45,820 --> 00:27:48,300
really knocked it out of the 
park, like everybody was really 

484
00:27:48,580 --> 00:27:52,790
like trying their hardest. 
Story was adapted pretty well 

485
00:27:52,790 --> 00:27:55,790
overall in my opinion. 
They didn't really like skip out

486
00:27:55,790 --> 00:27:58,350
on anything. 
House Paradise is pretty 

487
00:27:58,750 --> 00:28:01,830
fast-paced. 
It's only like 120 chapters 

488
00:28:01,830 --> 00:28:06,750
overall. 
I think we got to like 40 or 50 

489
00:28:06,750 --> 00:28:10,190
or something like that. 
So we should have. 

490
00:28:10,390 --> 00:28:13,110
I think by the end of the next 
score or season it should be 

491
00:28:13,110 --> 00:28:18,230
done. 
Overall, like I wanted a bit 

492
00:28:18,230 --> 00:28:23,680
better for this series, but. 
You know, I was being realistic 

493
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:27,080
with myself after I saw the 
trailer and looked into it and 

494
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:31,000
everything. 
So yeah, like, I think that if 

495
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,360
you enjoyed this, then maybe you
should just go read the manga. 

496
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,000
In my opinion, like the manga is
just better. 

497
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:41,160
But I'm I'll still be watching 
the second season like, but 

498
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,520
yeah, it's not my it's 
definitely not in contingent for

499
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,320
anime of the year for me, 
unfortunately, which is a shame.

500
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,960
Miles about you, yeah. 
So is is someone who didn't read

501
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:54,600
the source material and had no 
expectations for this going in. 

502
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:58,680
I I mean, I really liked it, you
know, I think the setting is 

503
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:02,160
just like really cool, like the 
island is so cool. 

504
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:07,160
And I always like like a 
location as an antagonist sort 

505
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:11,920
of style of show. 
Like I think that's like a like 

506
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,040
a neat idea. 
Like I hope going forward they 

507
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:17,880
don't explain. 
Too much about the island. 

508
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:21,320
I hope it always stays, you 
know, mysterious. 

509
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:25,120
Like you can explain some of it,
of course, but like, you know, I

510
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:29,440
hope it's not like broken down 
entirely because I just think 

511
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:31,360
it's neat that things like that 
can exist. 

512
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:33,080
It makes the world feel 
fantastical. 

513
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:37,760
I like Pete like that. 
Like sort of twist at the end 

514
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:39,720
with Gabby Marley's wife. 
I thought that was really neat. 

515
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:43,320
Didn't see that coming. 
The characters are all a lot of 

516
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:44,720
fun. 
I got attached to them. 

517
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:48,210
But you're always worried that. 
Someone could die because the 

518
00:29:48,210 --> 00:29:55,050
setting is so, so deadly. 
You know, I I'm excited to I I 

519
00:29:55,050 --> 00:29:57,130
guess either finish it up by 
reading or wait until like the 

520
00:29:57,130 --> 00:29:59,610
second season is coming. 
But it's something that I I plan

521
00:29:59,610 --> 00:30:02,450
on continuing, you know, one way
or the other. 

522
00:30:02,770 --> 00:30:05,890
I definitely did notice some 
production issues, but I they 

523
00:30:05,890 --> 00:30:09,850
also took like a gap gap week 
and like I thought a lot of it 

524
00:30:09,850 --> 00:30:14,090
got shored up after that. 
Later on in the series they 

525
00:30:14,090 --> 00:30:15,730
started when they were 
explaining Tau. 

526
00:30:16,220 --> 00:30:18,700
My only issue with that is that 
like they explained it like mid 

527
00:30:18,700 --> 00:30:21,780
fight, and that's one of my like
least favorite tropes. 

528
00:30:22,140 --> 00:30:25,100
When like they introduce a 
thing, it's like it gets 

529
00:30:25,100 --> 00:30:26,580
explained while it's getting 
used. 

530
00:30:26,580 --> 00:30:30,500
I would prefer it happen like 
after a confrontation or 

531
00:30:30,500 --> 00:30:33,220
something, like if people were 
going back over what happened, 

532
00:30:33,900 --> 00:30:38,140
that's obviously like a very 
minor thing, but to me it's just

533
00:30:38,140 --> 00:30:40,220
always weird to see people just 
standing there when they're 

534
00:30:40,220 --> 00:30:42,500
supposed to be trying to kill 
each other, like just like 

535
00:30:42,500 --> 00:30:45,370
actively try to kill each other.
And then think about what's? 

536
00:30:45,370 --> 00:30:45,930
Happening. 
Yeah. 

537
00:30:46,090 --> 00:30:48,930
In the last fight it was kind of
funny how they would have like a

538
00:30:48,930 --> 00:30:52,170
moment where like they would 
just sit and talk to each other 

539
00:30:52,170 --> 00:30:57,490
for like 10 seconds while this, 
like, chimera of playing is in 

540
00:30:57,530 --> 00:30:59,610
the background. 
Just letting them do it. 

541
00:31:00,130 --> 00:31:02,650
Like, I guess talking is a free 
action, but come on. 

542
00:31:02,930 --> 00:31:04,610
Yeah, true, but you're supposed 
to keep it short. 

543
00:31:04,610 --> 00:31:08,250
You know that. 
That's just on the DM of this 

544
00:31:08,250 --> 00:31:10,890
story to to tighten that up a 
little bit. 

545
00:31:13,460 --> 00:31:17,340
I, you know, it's like that the 
fat guy realized his feelings in

546
00:31:17,340 --> 00:31:20,620
the middle of that fight and had
like a really long flashback or 

547
00:31:20,620 --> 00:31:22,420
whatever. 
Hey, that was awesome though. 

548
00:31:22,580 --> 00:31:26,540
I loved you Siri Hobb like just 
punching the pile of heads and 

549
00:31:26,540 --> 00:31:30,100
then like dancing around with an
umbrella as decapitated heads 

550
00:31:30,100 --> 00:31:33,060
fell everywhere. 
It it felt fitting for her 

551
00:31:33,060 --> 00:31:36,740
character. 
She's going to be the the anime 

552
00:31:36,740 --> 00:31:38,980
Harley Quinn. 
For I was literally just 

553
00:31:39,140 --> 00:31:45,060
thinking that you read my mind. 
She gets to do that for the 

554
00:31:45,060 --> 00:31:47,860
next, you know, like whatever 
season and 1/2 or whatever it is

555
00:31:47,860 --> 00:31:49,820
until. 
You imagine if Harley Quinn was 

556
00:31:49,820 --> 00:31:54,860
also a slime girl, what what 
state the world would be in 

557
00:31:54,900 --> 00:31:59,020
right now? 
And also honestly, props to the 

558
00:31:59,180 --> 00:32:05,340
whoever directed it to be a like
white opaque liquid. 

559
00:32:07,260 --> 00:32:11,180
Truly the pinnacle of a design 
decision. 

560
00:32:11,630 --> 00:32:16,110
It could have been any color, 
but it was come. 

561
00:32:18,950 --> 00:32:20,230
But yeah, I don't know, I really
liked it. 

562
00:32:20,230 --> 00:32:24,790
I'm looking forward to it. 
I think for me it was like the 

563
00:32:24,790 --> 00:32:27,630
surprise of the season and like 
not because like the source 

564
00:32:27,630 --> 00:32:30,030
material isn't great or 
anything. 

565
00:32:30,030 --> 00:32:32,870
It's just like not my normal 
jam. 

566
00:32:33,270 --> 00:32:37,270
And so it like was my jam and so
I was excited to to watch it. 

567
00:32:38,060 --> 00:32:41,380
Did you guys watch the after 
credit scene in the last 

568
00:32:41,380 --> 00:32:41,940
episode? 
Yep. 

569
00:32:43,900 --> 00:32:46,300
What happens? 
Oh, yes, We're the guys getting 

570
00:32:46,300 --> 00:32:48,660
shipped out, right? 
So like, yes, I do, Yeah. 

571
00:32:48,700 --> 00:32:52,100
OK. 
Yeah, you guys will either love 

572
00:32:52,100 --> 00:32:55,700
or hate the guy they showed shoe
again, you will either love or 

573
00:32:55,700 --> 00:32:57,100
hate him. 
I don't know which. 

574
00:32:57,260 --> 00:33:00,500
It's very concerning. 
I have a feeling that I'll hate 

575
00:33:00,500 --> 00:33:02,180
him and Miles will think he's 
based. 

576
00:33:03,260 --> 00:33:05,620
That's usually what happened. 
Honestly, Miles probably will 

577
00:33:05,620 --> 00:33:07,460
think he's based thinking about 
it. 

578
00:33:07,820 --> 00:33:09,780
Oh, cool. 
Can't wait. 

579
00:33:11,900 --> 00:33:14,700
Going into our ratings, love the
cast, love the character. 

580
00:33:15,260 --> 00:33:19,100
The OP was super fun as well. 
I know we didn't talk about 

581
00:33:19,100 --> 00:33:21,660
that, but I thought it was a 
really good OPI thought it was 

582
00:33:21,660 --> 00:33:24,380
just like a great first 
installment to the series. 

583
00:33:25,020 --> 00:33:27,780
I'm just solid 8. 
It's a very solid eight. 

584
00:33:27,780 --> 00:33:30,980
I think it has the possibility 
of probably being like a solid 

585
00:33:30,980 --> 00:33:32,340
nine when it's all said and 
done. 

586
00:33:32,900 --> 00:33:36,190
Yeah. 
To give a like quick spoiler of 

587
00:33:36,190 --> 00:33:38,630
my score and eight is also where
I fall on it. 

588
00:33:38,670 --> 00:33:41,390
And I think I gave the source 
material a nine. 

589
00:33:42,390 --> 00:33:44,390
Yeah. 
I think that if they can get 

590
00:33:44,390 --> 00:33:49,190
like the production down for the
second season and like maybe put

591
00:33:49,190 --> 00:33:52,430
like a big name director or 
something on it. 

592
00:33:52,430 --> 00:33:56,590
Like I think, I think like a 
good director would really make 

593
00:33:56,790 --> 00:33:59,070
like a really good director 
would really make the difference

594
00:33:59,070 --> 00:34:01,670
for this show. 
And you know Mapa has them like.

595
00:34:02,430 --> 00:34:04,670
Imagine if Shuhei Ubutu was on 
this. 

596
00:34:04,670 --> 00:34:07,350
Like I don't want to take him 
away from Vinland saga, but like

597
00:34:07,350 --> 00:34:09,590
just imagine a world where he's 
doing that. 

598
00:34:10,070 --> 00:34:13,510
Like that would have went crazy.
Like there's this eye catch 

599
00:34:13,510 --> 00:34:16,550
scene in the OP that always got 
like caught me. 

600
00:34:16,909 --> 00:34:20,909
It was the when Gabby Mar was 
like on top of the like pyre and

601
00:34:20,909 --> 00:34:24,110
he like arches his back and like
catches on fire. 

602
00:34:24,429 --> 00:34:27,670
Like if we had like that quality
animation the whole time. 

603
00:34:28,909 --> 00:34:31,420
Easy 9. 
Maybe even a 10 for me as 

604
00:34:31,420 --> 00:34:34,980
someone who's biased towards the
source material, but I can't. 

605
00:34:35,540 --> 00:34:38,820
Like if I were to give this A9 
or A10 with the production 

606
00:34:39,260 --> 00:34:42,860
issues like I would be a fraud. 
I'm not even going to lie I I 

607
00:34:43,020 --> 00:34:47,699
simply cannot look past it. 
So eight out of 10 for me miles.

608
00:34:47,739 --> 00:34:50,980
Yeah, I also have this. 
It's an 8 out of 10. 

609
00:34:50,980 --> 00:34:53,860
I think that, well, I really 
liked it. 

610
00:34:53,860 --> 00:34:56,380
There were like a couple of 
lulls here and there, which is 

611
00:34:56,380 --> 00:34:59,420
fine, you know, nothing's 
perfect and. 

612
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:02,560
It fell into some like shown in 
Tropes. 

613
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:05,440
I'm not like the best fan of for
a little bit before digging 

614
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:09,920
itself like away from them. 
But overall, I mean I'm, I'm 

615
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:13,360
really excited about it and I'm 
excited to watch more. 

616
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:16,040
So eight out of 10 for me. 
Right on, that's three, eight. 

617
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:22,120
All right. 
Next up we have Insomniacs after

618
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:25,920
school. 
This was a show that I knew I 

619
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:28,040
was going to love. 
I just didn't know how much I 

620
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,880
was going to love it and it 
turns out I am deeply, madly in 

621
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:33,440
love with it. 
After finishing the anime, I am 

622
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:37,480
fully caught up on the manga. 
This story I think started a 

623
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:42,760
little slow, but as the 
characters got more developed, I

624
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:46,120
just fell in love with so much 
really like that. 

625
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,640
They don't play into a lot of 
the tropes that I thought they 

626
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:52,360
were going to where I thought it
was going to be more them, the. 

627
00:35:53,230 --> 00:35:56,350
Kind of like figuring out 
themselves more than like the 

628
00:35:56,350 --> 00:35:59,710
romantic interest, but how they 
kind of blended the two 

629
00:35:59,710 --> 00:36:01,470
together. 
I really fell in love with. 

630
00:36:01,590 --> 00:36:04,870
I thought they had a few 
romantic things that I just 

631
00:36:04,870 --> 00:36:06,910
thoroughly enjoyed. 
I love how they just talked to 

632
00:36:06,910 --> 00:36:10,030
each other over like the radio, 
that that thing while they're 

633
00:36:10,030 --> 00:36:11,990
like one's working, the other 
one can like, listen to the 

634
00:36:12,030 --> 00:36:14,110
other person while they're awake
at like 2:00 AM. 

635
00:36:15,110 --> 00:36:18,350
There's a really interesting way
of conveying like, kind of 

636
00:36:18,350 --> 00:36:21,590
feelings, not necessarily for 
each other, but just in general 

637
00:36:21,590 --> 00:36:23,500
with. 
What they're thinking and what's

638
00:36:23,500 --> 00:36:27,340
going on at 2:00 AM, very called
the Night S since it's the same 

639
00:36:27,340 --> 00:36:28,900
studio. 
I thought they did a great job 

640
00:36:28,900 --> 00:36:32,620
at conveying these lights and 
stars and everything that 

641
00:36:32,740 --> 00:36:36,300
happens at night. 
While the the omnience is dark 

642
00:36:36,300 --> 00:36:39,260
and the characters are bright. 
And I like that contrast between

643
00:36:39,260 --> 00:36:42,100
the two. 
Maghery is just like protected 

644
00:36:42,100 --> 00:36:45,620
all cost vibes. 
I loved her with her and 

645
00:36:45,620 --> 00:36:49,940
knocking me sort of like why 
they are insomniacs was really 

646
00:36:49,940 --> 00:36:53,010
well done too. 
Where it's not just they can't 

647
00:36:53,010 --> 00:36:54,930
sleep. 
There's a reason behind it and I

648
00:36:54,930 --> 00:36:58,570
felt like it was like a real 
real reason knocking me. 

649
00:36:58,570 --> 00:37:03,250
His abandonment issues with her 
his mom leaving and Margery was 

650
00:37:03,250 --> 00:37:06,290
having a heart condition and 
sort of like the fear of dying 

651
00:37:06,290 --> 00:37:11,650
while she's in her sleep was 
just a great addition to a story

652
00:37:11,650 --> 00:37:13,810
where I think it could have been
cookie cutter and they made it. 

653
00:37:13,810 --> 00:37:16,930
Not cookie cutter just I I loved
it. 

654
00:37:16,930 --> 00:37:19,470
The the. 
The supporting cast was really 

655
00:37:19,470 --> 00:37:22,630
well done too as well. 
Mostly Moggery's friends, but 

656
00:37:23,110 --> 00:37:27,950
Knock Me has that one bro, 
Okugawa. 

657
00:37:28,630 --> 00:37:30,510
He's a good bro. 
I liked him a lot too. 

658
00:37:30,510 --> 00:37:34,310
But the supporting cast was 
mostly Moggery's friends along 

659
00:37:34,310 --> 00:37:38,430
with the old senpai who ran the 
club and the sensei who is the 

660
00:37:38,430 --> 00:37:42,310
advisor. 
Just a really great cast, Loved 

661
00:37:42,310 --> 00:37:45,950
it towards the end. 
Honestly, probably one of my 

662
00:37:45,950 --> 00:37:48,110
favorite confession scenes in 
anime. 

663
00:37:48,110 --> 00:37:50,110
I loved it. 
I love how they portrayed their 

664
00:37:50,110 --> 00:37:52,670
feelings throughout the entire 
story, but really cultivating 

665
00:37:52,910 --> 00:37:56,150
that at the end with just 
letting out their emotions with 

666
00:37:56,590 --> 00:38:00,310
each other was so well done 
with, you know, Maghrey's like, 

667
00:38:00,310 --> 00:38:01,710
I want you to take a picture of 
me. 

668
00:38:01,710 --> 00:38:06,230
I've never been so happy in my 
entire life and I love that it 

669
00:38:06,230 --> 00:38:09,190
was it was so cute. 
It was so adorable. 

670
00:38:09,710 --> 00:38:13,360
I love knocking me. 
Out of manning up is the right 

671
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:14,520
word. 
But sort of just like I'm. 

672
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:16,520
I'm taking you. 
I'm stealing you like from away 

673
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:18,160
from your parents. 
We'll deal with the consequences

674
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:19,280
later. 
Love that. 

675
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:23,760
Like old school romantic trope 
of let's just run away together 

676
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:28,800
and but in like a more 
reasonable sense. 

677
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:30,880
I guess they weren't going cross
country. 

678
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:32,160
They were just going to take 
some pictures. 

679
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:34,360
I fucking love insomniacs after 
school. 

680
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:35,760
Jay, what's your thoughts on 
insomniacs? 

681
00:38:37,050 --> 00:38:39,770
Yeah, this was definitely 
another thing where I knew that 

682
00:38:39,770 --> 00:38:42,530
I was going to enjoy this 
because I'm a big Call of the 

683
00:38:42,530 --> 00:38:44,810
Night mark. 
I love fucking Call of the Night

684
00:38:44,810 --> 00:38:48,690
last summer. 
Yeah, I don't know, This really 

685
00:38:48,690 --> 00:38:52,090
hit the mark for me. 
I like both the OP and 

686
00:38:52,090 --> 00:38:57,610
especially the Ed quite a lot. 
Just a really sweet anime. 

687
00:38:57,610 --> 00:39:01,130
Like I liked seeing the two main
characters a lot together. 

688
00:39:01,570 --> 00:39:03,930
I thought that the supporting 
cast was. 

689
00:39:04,740 --> 00:39:07,980
Like, not really there all that 
much, but because of how strong 

690
00:39:08,500 --> 00:39:12,420
Ganta and Isaki's relationship 
was, I didn't really mind it, 

691
00:39:12,660 --> 00:39:15,420
honestly. 
Like, I was mostly there for 

692
00:39:15,420 --> 00:39:17,620
them. 
Like having sheer mar there 

693
00:39:17,620 --> 00:39:19,620
around 2 sometimes was pretty 
cool. 

694
00:39:20,420 --> 00:39:21,780
Yeah. 
And plus, you know, there were 

695
00:39:21,780 --> 00:39:27,140
two cute cats. 
Two like, what am I like? 

696
00:39:27,700 --> 00:39:30,540
That's like worth at least two 
points by itself right there, 

697
00:39:32,180 --> 00:39:34,780
all jokes aside. 
This was something that like, 

698
00:39:34,780 --> 00:39:39,980
really broke out for me. 
Really been making me consider 

699
00:39:39,980 --> 00:39:42,900
how much romance media I should 
be consuming. 

700
00:39:42,900 --> 00:39:47,820
Maybe a little bit more. 
Yeah, I like this a lot. 

701
00:39:47,820 --> 00:39:53,300
What about you, Miles? 
Yeah, so, like, you know, I 

702
00:39:53,300 --> 00:39:55,580
don't know if you're a longtime 
fan of the Pod. 

703
00:39:56,980 --> 00:40:00,100
You know that I I really dig 
stargazing scenes. 

704
00:40:00,100 --> 00:40:02,900
So. 
You know, I was in on this from 

705
00:40:02,900 --> 00:40:05,900
the start. 
I also have a heart condition. 

706
00:40:05,900 --> 00:40:09,540
So it was like, that's fun 
little little Rep in the in the 

707
00:40:09,540 --> 00:40:11,980
anime. 
Hers is way worse than mine 

708
00:40:11,980 --> 00:40:14,700
though. 
So you know, I I don't know, but

709
00:40:14,700 --> 00:40:17,340
like it's still something that 
like when your heart doesn't 

710
00:40:17,340 --> 00:40:18,900
work properly it's like a spooky
thing. 

711
00:40:18,900 --> 00:40:21,220
So like I I got that and like 
related to it and thought it was

712
00:40:21,220 --> 00:40:24,020
great. 
I loved all of the scenery I 

713
00:40:24,020 --> 00:40:30,260
love just like the general 
melancholic, but I don't know 

714
00:40:30,260 --> 00:40:33,280
like hopeful. 
Sort of tone that it like had 

715
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:38,120
just like this entire time was 
was great. 

716
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:41,880
I thought that everything I 
don't know everything about it I

717
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:47,880
think added to its atmosphere in
like a really good way, like 

718
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:51,760
every scene did that. 
The chemistry between the main 

719
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:55,960
couple is like really, really 
good, which I like and I liked 

720
00:40:55,960 --> 00:41:01,120
that they had gone to like he is
kind of like a like the loser. 

721
00:41:01,460 --> 00:41:05,940
Guy but like in a like a kind of
realistic way. 

722
00:41:05,940 --> 00:41:10,500
Not like a it's not like 
overplayed at all and like once 

723
00:41:10,500 --> 00:41:12,860
he has the chance to he like 
opens up and he actually does 

724
00:41:12,860 --> 00:41:16,900
have some friends and like you 
know it's it's it's like good 

725
00:41:16,900 --> 00:41:21,020
vibes there. 
I'm excited to I'll probably 

726
00:41:21,020 --> 00:41:23,980
like read more of it to be. 
Honest. 

727
00:41:25,260 --> 00:41:28,260
It's on the Viz app. 
OK, the ZAP. 

728
00:41:29,140 --> 00:41:34,170
So ZAP. 
So I will, I mean, I'll probably

729
00:41:34,170 --> 00:41:38,970
catch up on that I think next I 
guess, but I don't know, I I 

730
00:41:38,970 --> 00:41:41,290
loved everything about it. 
There was like a firework scene 

731
00:41:41,290 --> 00:41:44,770
which is also up there for me. 
It just was so atmospheric and 

732
00:41:45,450 --> 00:41:50,850
enjoyable and I I can't wait for
more and whatever method I 

733
00:41:50,850 --> 00:41:54,460
choose to consume so. 
Getting into our ratings, the 

734
00:41:54,460 --> 00:41:57,500
only reason why I'm not giving 
this show A10, I said from day 

735
00:41:57,500 --> 00:42:00,860
one, if Maghery dies, this show 
is a zero. 

736
00:42:00,980 --> 00:42:05,060
It's kind of hinted a lot that 
she has this heart condition and

737
00:42:05,060 --> 00:42:07,940
can sort of maybe die at any 
time. 

738
00:42:07,940 --> 00:42:10,900
I know that's like not the case,
but it's kind of like that's the

739
00:42:10,900 --> 00:42:14,460
threat of her insomnia and 
that's kind of like the threat 

740
00:42:14,460 --> 00:42:18,660
behind kind of like who she is 
as a person to where she's sort 

741
00:42:18,660 --> 00:42:22,460
of like experiencing life. 
One of the things she wasn't 

742
00:42:22,460 --> 00:42:26,820
able to do earlier because she 
was in the hospital so much so I

743
00:42:26,820 --> 00:42:29,460
I just, I loved everything about
the story. 

744
00:42:29,460 --> 00:42:31,940
I loved the chemistry between 
the two. 

745
00:42:32,100 --> 00:42:34,020
It would they're honestly 
probably one of my favorite 

746
00:42:34,020 --> 00:42:37,460
anime couples ever just it just 
it just seems like they're meant

747
00:42:37,460 --> 00:42:40,860
to be where a lot of times I 
think like in Romans anime it's 

748
00:42:40,860 --> 00:42:44,420
like they date and then they get
married but the connection that 

749
00:42:44,420 --> 00:42:47,460
I feel towards the people aren't
isn't necessarily there. 

750
00:42:47,700 --> 00:42:50,460
This I felt was there like they 
just seem. 

751
00:42:51,460 --> 00:42:54,420
So good and minor spoilers for 
the MAGA. 

752
00:42:54,620 --> 00:42:58,700
Knock Me is a absolute Rizzle or
later and just seeing his 

753
00:42:58,700 --> 00:43:02,140
development as he opens up more 
is fantastic. 

754
00:43:02,180 --> 00:43:04,740
It's so good. 
Just great. 

755
00:43:05,780 --> 00:43:07,380
I I hope there's a second 
season. 

756
00:43:07,940 --> 00:43:10,380
I I thought there was like it's 
like rumored that it's getting 

757
00:43:10,380 --> 00:43:12,540
one but nothing is confirmed. 
Confirmed yet. 

758
00:43:12,540 --> 00:43:15,380
But the MAGA is super easy to 
read if you're a fan of this. 

759
00:43:15,380 --> 00:43:17,420
I read like 70 chapters in a 
night. 

760
00:43:17,420 --> 00:43:20,670
It was an absolute breeze. 
I'll give you the show a very, 

761
00:43:20,870 --> 00:43:22,950
very solid 9. 
Yeah. 

762
00:43:22,950 --> 00:43:26,710
For me, this show is pretty up 
there as well. 

763
00:43:27,030 --> 00:43:30,030
I enjoyed it. 
Like, maybe it's just like the 

764
00:43:30,030 --> 00:43:32,630
genre as a whole, but there were
definitely some slow boys where 

765
00:43:32,630 --> 00:43:36,030
I was got like I had to stop it 
because I was kind of falling 

766
00:43:36,030 --> 00:43:37,510
asleep because I was watching it
late at night. 

767
00:43:37,510 --> 00:43:40,350
I was like, I'll come back to 
this and maybe rewind it a bit. 

768
00:43:41,710 --> 00:43:46,030
So that's like maybe that's just
like my ADHD and like just like.

769
00:43:46,570 --> 00:43:49,730
You know, mixing with like 
romance as a genre and stuff 

770
00:43:49,730 --> 00:43:51,450
like that. 
Especially like, you know, a 

771
00:43:51,450 --> 00:43:57,370
more shown in Styled Romance 
where it's like very much about 

772
00:43:57,370 --> 00:44:01,730
like the chase and like the 
build up to that sort of 

773
00:44:01,730 --> 00:44:04,650
confession and stuff like that, 
which I thought was done 

774
00:44:04,650 --> 00:44:07,890
beautifully here. 
But yeah, I mean that's like a 

775
00:44:07,890 --> 00:44:10,330
pretty minor complaint. 
Overall the story was pretty 

776
00:44:10,330 --> 00:44:12,730
excellent. 
I I really enjoyed like. 

777
00:44:13,550 --> 00:44:17,310
The characterization of Ganta, 
especially like, I think that 

778
00:44:17,310 --> 00:44:21,310
they did it really well with his
back story about like his mom 

779
00:44:21,310 --> 00:44:24,590
leaving him, as well as like his
dad and stuff like that. 

780
00:44:24,950 --> 00:44:27,790
Like the glimpses into both of 
their respective childhoods as 

781
00:44:27,790 --> 00:44:29,470
well. 
I think that they were pretty 

782
00:44:29,870 --> 00:44:35,230
like, well placed is how I would
describe them A lot of the times

783
00:44:35,230 --> 00:44:38,470
with flashbacks and shows and 
this is something that Hills 

784
00:44:38,470 --> 00:44:40,030
Paradise actually kind of 
suffered from. 

785
00:44:40,470 --> 00:44:42,430
It can feel like the flashbacks,
just kind of. 

786
00:44:43,110 --> 00:44:46,230
Happen at you. 
And I think that they were done 

787
00:44:46,230 --> 00:44:51,830
really like tastefully in this, 
So that's like like a bonus for 

788
00:44:51,830 --> 00:44:55,790
me in my opinion, because anime 
kind of stumbles over flashbacks

789
00:44:55,790 --> 00:44:59,510
in my opinion. 
Sometimes I think based on my 

790
00:44:59,510 --> 00:45:02,190
overall enjoyment of this show, 
I was thinking about giving it 

791
00:45:02,590 --> 00:45:06,830
an 8 and I think on any list 
it'll probably be like an 8.5 

792
00:45:06,830 --> 00:45:09,550
for me, but for the sake of this
review, I'm going to give it a 

793
00:45:09,550 --> 00:45:15,210
nine. 
Yeah, I think part of like, it 

794
00:45:15,210 --> 00:45:18,570
is a bit sleepy. 
But like, I guess like to me 

795
00:45:18,570 --> 00:45:22,850
that's like that like is a 
desired effect of it. 

796
00:45:22,850 --> 00:45:28,250
Because like so much of the like
that comforting sort of slow 

797
00:45:29,050 --> 00:45:32,090
pacing and stuff is like what I 
think our main characters are 

798
00:45:32,090 --> 00:45:34,250
feeling like when they're 
together and they're able to 

799
00:45:34,250 --> 00:45:37,570
just fall asleep and chat with 
each other and everything. 

800
00:45:37,570 --> 00:45:40,930
So I sort of viewed, you know, 
it's definitely not like. 

801
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:45,720
You know after every episode of 
anime, we like a little bit like

802
00:45:45,720 --> 00:45:49,800
at all in our discord will just 
be like banger app you know And 

803
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:52,840
it's like I would say that I 
would say that about like 

804
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:56,400
insomniacs but like number like 
bangers because. 

805
00:45:57,120 --> 00:45:59,960
There's. 
One, there's like there's maybe 

806
00:45:59,960 --> 00:46:04,720
2 bangers, but like a lot of 
them are more like atmospheric 

807
00:46:04,720 --> 00:46:08,600
background music that makes you 
comfortable, you know, it's 

808
00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:09,550
like. 
Sit. 

809
00:46:09,590 --> 00:46:12,950
It's like that feeling when you 
sit in your favorite chair after

810
00:46:12,950 --> 00:46:16,950
work and you're just like, you 
know, like that's that's what I 

811
00:46:16,950 --> 00:46:22,350
got from this. 
I think that, God, I don't know,

812
00:46:22,350 --> 00:46:25,750
I have a hard time. 
Yeah, fuck you. 

813
00:46:28,350 --> 00:46:32,830
I'm like, looking at my, like, 
list of top stuff right now and 

814
00:46:33,150 --> 00:46:36,910
as far as, like, pure romance 
goes. 

815
00:46:38,580 --> 00:46:40,540
Like, I think this is my 
favorite show. 

816
00:46:41,700 --> 00:46:44,660
You know, something like love is
war would be higher for me, but 

817
00:46:44,660 --> 00:46:47,340
like that. 
That's a lot of like comedic 

818
00:46:47,340 --> 00:46:52,460
elements and stuff where like 
this is just like the romance is

819
00:46:52,460 --> 00:46:54,580
like the whole package really. 
And it's like it's got some 

820
00:46:54,580 --> 00:46:57,180
funny moments, but it's it's 
definitely like not attempting 

821
00:46:57,180 --> 00:46:58,740
to. 
I think I'll give this a 10 

822
00:46:58,860 --> 00:47:01,740
because I changed my mind. 
I can change. 

823
00:47:02,300 --> 00:47:03,340
I. 
Never know. 

824
00:47:03,860 --> 00:47:05,140
But I'll do it. 
Fuck it, 10. 

825
00:47:05,460 --> 00:47:10,400
I was so set on you like. 
Hovering like I was really 

826
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:13,240
hoping you would convince 
yourself into giving it a nine, 

827
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:17,960
but I was banking on you giving 
it an 8 and the fact and the 

828
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:21,600
fact that you gave it a 10. 
This is 4th of July levels 

829
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:23,280
fireworks for me right now. 
This is great. 

830
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:27,400
This wasn't getting an A I think
Galaxy actually like, threatened

831
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:29,800
me because at one point I was 
thinking about giving us an 8. 

832
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:32,840
But like the last couple 
episodes, I think they did them 

833
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:35,480
getting together. 
And like, it's a good natural 

834
00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:37,840
way that like, it really bumped 
it for me, but like. 

835
00:47:39,020 --> 00:47:41,940
He was like, if you give that 
show at 8 after you write 

836
00:47:41,940 --> 00:47:44,900
multiple paragraphs about it 
every week, I will kill you. 

837
00:47:44,940 --> 00:47:53,500
And I was like, OK. 
Next up we have Skip and Loafer.

838
00:47:53,500 --> 00:47:55,660
I knew that I was going to love 
this show. 

839
00:47:55,660 --> 00:47:58,300
Another show where I didn't 
realize how much I was going to 

840
00:47:58,300 --> 00:47:59,820
love it. 
They do. 

841
00:47:59,820 --> 00:48:03,860
One of my favorite things that I
thoroughly enjoy an anime the 

842
00:48:03,860 --> 00:48:07,800
most is when. 
They take the drama element and 

843
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:11,280
don't shove it down my throat. 
I thought how they handled 

844
00:48:11,720 --> 00:48:14,760
everything in the story was 
handled very well with care. 

845
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:19,480
Me to me as a main lead was a 
bundle of fun. 

846
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:23,440
She's probably my favorite 
female cast member from this 

847
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:26,000
season. 
One or two actually she's two. 

848
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:29,240
I know what my number one is and
just like a great, I guess 

849
00:48:29,240 --> 00:48:31,800
different type of school 
storytelling that we're not 

850
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:34,400
used. 
I'm not shown as much, I feel 

851
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:37,550
like. 
The drama element when it comes 

852
00:48:37,550 --> 00:48:41,390
to school and a lot of anime is 
like really heavily drama 

853
00:48:41,390 --> 00:48:43,950
focused and this seems like a 
great mix of everything 

854
00:48:43,950 --> 00:48:45,950
combined. 
There was like lighthearted 

855
00:48:45,950 --> 00:48:50,030
comedy. 
There was some possible romantic

856
00:48:51,150 --> 00:48:53,150
implications throughout the 
story. 

857
00:48:53,750 --> 00:48:57,630
There were some other just great
drama things with like Shema 

858
00:48:57,750 --> 00:48:59,870
being the child actor and sort 
of having this. 

859
00:49:00,340 --> 00:49:02,980
Controversy in his past with 
underage drinking. 

860
00:49:02,980 --> 00:49:04,700
I thought that was handled 
pretty well. 

861
00:49:05,700 --> 00:49:09,260
The cast itself was a fantastic 
Shema and meets me as the main 

862
00:49:09,260 --> 00:49:10,980
leads were great. 
Kind of. 

863
00:49:10,980 --> 00:49:14,420
The coming together of meets 
me's friend group was 

864
00:49:14,420 --> 00:49:17,660
interesting as well because we 
kind of have four people who 

865
00:49:17,660 --> 00:49:20,900
maybe you wouldn't think would 
be in a friend group, but that's

866
00:49:20,900 --> 00:49:24,140
what makes their friend group so
great and we sort of had like 

867
00:49:24,140 --> 00:49:26,980
these backgrounds as well with 
these characters with. 

868
00:49:27,620 --> 00:49:29,980
Music. 
He's sort of falling into place 

869
00:49:29,980 --> 00:49:34,980
with her role as being like the 
hot girl and just not really 

870
00:49:35,460 --> 00:49:38,100
belonging when it feels like she
should. 

871
00:49:38,540 --> 00:49:41,020
Like she didn't like being in 
like the popular group and like 

872
00:49:41,020 --> 00:49:42,580
what those people were talking 
about. 

873
00:49:42,580 --> 00:49:45,860
Like that wasn't her style, but 
because of her looks, she got 

874
00:49:45,860 --> 00:49:48,620
attention from like everybody. 
So I thought that was really 

875
00:49:48,660 --> 00:49:53,020
interesting. 
Mika, with her troubles of yeah,

876
00:49:53,020 --> 00:49:54,860
I know Mika stand stand up, 
right. 

877
00:49:56,820 --> 00:50:00,900
Her sort of having to try harder
to be in the position that she's

878
00:50:00,900 --> 00:50:06,100
in, I thought was handled really
well because I I think it's like

879
00:50:06,100 --> 00:50:10,180
a testament at that time of your
age where I you need to feel 

880
00:50:10,180 --> 00:50:14,540
like you want to be popular, 
like you want to be cool. 

881
00:50:14,900 --> 00:50:18,300
In order to be cool, you have to
act cool and do all these cool 

882
00:50:18,300 --> 00:50:19,940
things. 
That's what that's why all the 

883
00:50:19,940 --> 00:50:22,860
cool kids are doing. 
And I think like throughout the 

884
00:50:22,860 --> 00:50:25,500
story, she kind of fell into a 
place where. 

885
00:50:25,950 --> 00:50:30,110
She didn't need to do that to be
in the where she actually wanted

886
00:50:30,110 --> 00:50:32,870
to be and I thought that was 
really well done and like and 

887
00:50:32,870 --> 00:50:36,910
her like random friendship with 
now sort of like coming together

888
00:50:36,910 --> 00:50:40,830
as like a, I don't know, looking
out for me to be a little bit 

889
00:50:40,830 --> 00:50:44,550
was was really fun. 
Boo me as like her best friend 

890
00:50:45,430 --> 00:50:47,870
across like state lines or 
whatever was really interesting 

891
00:50:47,910 --> 00:50:51,350
when she got a boyfriend and 
meet to be kind of like perked 

892
00:50:51,350 --> 00:50:52,390
up. 
That was great. 

893
00:50:52,390 --> 00:50:56,060
I love that whole cast. 
This is another anime where as 

894
00:50:56,060 --> 00:50:58,580
soon as it finished I want I 
read all of the MAGA. 

895
00:50:58,580 --> 00:51:00,500
I'm fully caught up. 
It is. 

896
00:51:01,500 --> 00:51:04,540
It's it's fun to see where the 
story went from here. 

897
00:51:04,540 --> 00:51:06,660
I don't think this is getting a 
second season. 

898
00:51:06,660 --> 00:51:10,100
I would love to if it did. 
Yeah. 

899
00:51:10,140 --> 00:51:14,220
So I posted an infograph this 
after the animes that aired this

900
00:51:14,220 --> 00:51:17,900
season skipping loafers sold the
7th most copies. 

901
00:51:18,900 --> 00:51:20,460
So that's that's that's that's a
good sign. 

902
00:51:20,460 --> 00:51:23,740
It's sold 185,000 copies since 
the anime has been released. 

903
00:51:24,030 --> 00:51:26,430
I I don't know if that's enough 
for a second season, but it's 

904
00:51:26,430 --> 00:51:29,950
nice to see that it outsold some
of the other properties that I 

905
00:51:29,950 --> 00:51:32,430
would expect it to see on this 
list. 

906
00:51:33,590 --> 00:51:35,950
Just just a great story. 
I really enjoy it. 

907
00:51:35,950 --> 00:51:37,470
Jay, what are your thoughts on 
skipping the offer? 

908
00:51:38,350 --> 00:51:41,590
I really enjoyed this as well. 
I think this was probably my 

909
00:51:41,590 --> 00:51:46,870
favorite out of the romances in 
the season, although honestly 

910
00:51:47,670 --> 00:51:51,990
not a ton of romance really 
going on in this season like it 

911
00:51:51,990 --> 00:51:55,600
is the the signs are there. 
And I kind of like the fact that

912
00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:58,240
it's like low key in a slow burn
like that. 

913
00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:01,800
Honestly, some people probably 
don't, but I do. 

914
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:05,160
The cast in this one was 
amazing. 

915
00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:09,400
Legitimately really strong. 
Like all of the supporting 

916
00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:14,000
characters, like even the like 
tertiary supporting characters 

917
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:19,040
like Chima's friend Chris and 
stuff like that are really 

918
00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:21,040
strong in my opinion. 
I really like. 

919
00:52:21,780 --> 00:52:24,660
There was a lot of like show 
don't tell with the characters 

920
00:52:24,660 --> 00:52:28,140
in this, in my opinion, where 
they don't have to do like, all 

921
00:52:28,140 --> 00:52:32,100
right, here's Mikoto's back 
story or here's like Mika's back

922
00:52:32,100 --> 00:52:35,700
story or something Like the way 
that their characters are is 

923
00:52:35,700 --> 00:52:39,660
informed by what they do and how
they are written rather than 

924
00:52:39,660 --> 00:52:43,820
like a flashback or like 
character statements about them.

925
00:52:44,340 --> 00:52:49,650
And that's like kind of rare in.
These sorts of like more male 

926
00:52:49,650 --> 00:52:55,050
oriented romances in my opinion,
because despite popular belief, 

927
00:52:55,130 --> 00:52:57,770
I know we all know this. 
Despite popular belief, Skipping

928
00:52:57,770 --> 00:53:00,450
Loafer is not a show Joe, it is 
a Satan. 

929
00:53:01,170 --> 00:53:03,610
I have no idea how many people 
I've seen say that. 

930
00:53:03,610 --> 00:53:05,010
This is my new favorite show, 
Joe. 

931
00:53:05,010 --> 00:53:07,130
It's like got some bad news for 
you, buddy. 

932
00:53:08,010 --> 00:53:09,130
Yeah. 
Counterpoint. 

933
00:53:09,130 --> 00:53:11,570
Have you seen the art? 
I have. 

934
00:53:12,490 --> 00:53:15,210
When the character designs are 
simple, it's a show, Joe. 

935
00:53:15,450 --> 00:53:17,690
When they're allowed, it's a 
show then. 

936
00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:23,120
When blush is show Joe. 
Female lead show Joe. 

937
00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:27,880
Yeah, also the OP for this Omega
Banger show. 

938
00:53:28,160 --> 00:53:28,960
My favorite? 
Yeah. 

939
00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:33,760
Makes you wanna dance for sure. 
I love this shit. 

940
00:53:34,600 --> 00:53:37,840
I was a big fan of it. 
This was definitely a breakout 

941
00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:41,480
for me and I will be catching up
with the Mongo soon. 

942
00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:43,360
I actually started reading it 
somewhat recently. 

943
00:53:44,040 --> 00:53:47,360
Most were your thoughts. 
It's time for me to be a hater, 

944
00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:50,480
but not really I I like this. 
I like this show quite a bit, 

945
00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:56,360
like a lot. 
I think for me there were like 

946
00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:01,040
it just had, it had like a few 
things that like missed. 

947
00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:07,240
For me, like Shema being like 
that whole like drama thing. 

948
00:54:07,240 --> 00:54:10,720
Like, I don't know, it felt a 
little melodramatic for me. 

949
00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:16,760
And like, I got it, but it was 
just a little I I don't care 

950
00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:19,840
like get over it, bro. 
Which is like kind of rude to 

951
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:23,240
say, but I would have it would 
have been more interesting for 

952
00:54:23,240 --> 00:54:26,120
me to like dive into like his 
relationship with his mother or 

953
00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:27,480
something because that seemed to
be like. 

954
00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:31,360
Oh, I agree. 
Like a root cause of his, like, 

955
00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:34,320
sad boy hours. 
And so like, I kind of wanted to

956
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:37,600
like get there. 
Mitsumi is obviously like an 

957
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:41,600
amazing bundle of sunshine, but 
Miko is my favorite character. 

958
00:54:42,230 --> 00:54:46,350
Which apparently is not an 
unpopular opinion because I was 

959
00:54:46,350 --> 00:54:48,110
like checking out if anyone else
thought that. 

960
00:54:48,110 --> 00:54:51,390
And then there was like a the 
buzz light year meme where they 

961
00:54:51,390 --> 00:54:55,430
like zoom out and it's just like
hundreds of buzz light years on 

962
00:54:55,430 --> 00:54:57,550
the thing. 
So like it's like like Mika is 

963
00:54:57,550 --> 00:55:00,950
the best girl and like zooms out
and just thousands of buzz light

964
00:55:00,950 --> 00:55:03,710
years. 
So I was like, damn, I guess I'm

965
00:55:03,710 --> 00:55:07,590
not cool. 
But whatever, she deserves it. 

966
00:55:08,110 --> 00:55:12,050
I really like now Chan, I think.
There's like really positive 

967
00:55:12,050 --> 00:55:15,090
trance representation in the 
show, which I think is awesome 

968
00:55:15,410 --> 00:55:18,490
and something that anime can 
struggle with sometimes. 

969
00:55:19,170 --> 00:55:25,690
And I don't know, it was just a 
really good cheery, happy show 

970
00:55:25,690 --> 00:55:29,170
for the most part. 
And I agree with Jay. 

971
00:55:29,170 --> 00:55:31,050
Like, I like the pacing and 
stuff of it. 

972
00:55:32,210 --> 00:55:36,930
Like I I think that sometimes 
you have that you like you want 

973
00:55:36,930 --> 00:55:39,610
things to progress when you're 
like watching them, but I think 

974
00:55:39,610 --> 00:55:43,450
that. 
The way that it's done is good 

975
00:55:43,490 --> 00:55:46,410
and realistic and the characters
decisions and stuff makes sense 

976
00:55:46,410 --> 00:55:49,610
that I'm okay with that sort of,
you know, we'll talk about a 

977
00:55:49,610 --> 00:55:53,330
show later where I think it took
the characters like 4 to 5 

978
00:55:53,330 --> 00:55:55,690
episodes too long to get 
together and I don't think like 

979
00:55:55,690 --> 00:56:02,130
Skipping Loafer is one of those.
I think that it makes sense for 

980
00:56:02,130 --> 00:56:06,170
all of that and that's where I'm
at. 

981
00:56:06,410 --> 00:56:08,490
Pete, you want to do the wrap up
for us? 

982
00:56:10,490 --> 00:56:12,370
Bouncing off what you said 
there, I think it did like a 

983
00:56:12,370 --> 00:56:16,130
great job. 
It's sort of telling these 

984
00:56:16,130 --> 00:56:18,890
characters the positions that 
they're in and why. 

985
00:56:19,330 --> 00:56:22,170
And that's kind of why the 
romance isn't at the forefront 

986
00:56:22,170 --> 00:56:27,170
because like me to me is still 
sort of figuring out her 

987
00:56:27,170 --> 00:56:30,490
feelings or Shema. 
Like I I think it starts as like

988
00:56:30,530 --> 00:56:34,370
admiration and idolizing. 
Like he's so cool, he's so nice,

989
00:56:34,370 --> 00:56:37,250
he's so friendly and how that 
progresses past that. 

990
00:56:37,250 --> 00:56:38,890
I think it was just so well 
done. 

991
00:56:39,410 --> 00:56:43,530
And then she must sort of being 
closed up a little bit, just 

992
00:56:43,530 --> 00:56:47,690
based off of his previous 
encounters and engagements where

993
00:56:48,130 --> 00:56:53,530
he's uncomfortable or I think 
possibly like a romantic slash 

994
00:56:53,530 --> 00:56:56,410
asexual to be honest. 
Where it's like, I don't know 

995
00:56:56,410 --> 00:57:01,290
how much of it of like girls 
that he like, really cares about

996
00:57:01,290 --> 00:57:03,690
going to that next level. 
He just like wants to be 

997
00:57:03,690 --> 00:57:04,930
himself. 
So I thought that was like a 

998
00:57:04,930 --> 00:57:08,180
really fun. 
Like representation of that 

999
00:57:08,180 --> 00:57:10,140
style. 
I think it will also get that 

1000
00:57:10,140 --> 00:57:14,500
later in Yamada where I think 
like Yamada is more like 

1001
00:57:14,540 --> 00:57:16,900
demisexual, but that'll be an 
interesting conversation to 

1002
00:57:16,900 --> 00:57:18,740
have. 
The now Chad representation I 

1003
00:57:18,740 --> 00:57:22,060
thought was great, even just 
with the visual storytelling 

1004
00:57:22,060 --> 00:57:27,980
with I think it was like an 
episode two or three where like 

1005
00:57:27,980 --> 00:57:30,220
some like girls are talking 
behind her back and like meets 

1006
00:57:30,220 --> 00:57:33,460
me just like grabs her hand. 
I thought that was like a really

1007
00:57:33,540 --> 00:57:37,280
impactful moment where. 
Jay mentioned earlier show Don't

1008
00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:40,840
tell like Mitz me. 
All of that is conveyed through 

1009
00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:44,000
her holding now's hand. 
Just just loved it. 

1010
00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:46,800
Anything that makes me pick up 
the manga and read it 

1011
00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:50,960
immediately does a lot. 
This is like a very high solid 9

1012
00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:52,560
for me and made my top 100 all 
time. 

1013
00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:58,800
I love the story, Jay. 
Yeah, I was a big fan of of 

1014
00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:02,480
this, honestly. 
I love the representation, like 

1015
00:58:02,480 --> 00:58:05,120
you said with now like, I 
thought that that was like 

1016
00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:08,120
really well done. 
And I liked that the author 

1017
00:58:08,120 --> 00:58:14,280
didn't like stray away from 
showing the like, you know, 

1018
00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:18,080
people being assholes about it, 
but also you know, other people 

1019
00:58:18,080 --> 00:58:21,000
being willing to defend now and 
stuff like that. 

1020
00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:25,120
I thought that was really sweet.
Like As for like the side 

1021
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:28,720
characters by the way, while I'm
on the topic of it, you know? 

1022
00:58:29,800 --> 00:58:34,880
Mika is cool and all, but Yuzuki
is the best side character. 

1023
00:58:35,240 --> 00:58:38,200
That's that's the main issue 
that is going on there. 

1024
00:58:38,480 --> 00:58:40,480
That's cuz Mika's secretly the 
main character. 

1025
00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:43,280
That's all. 
Yeah, yeah, sure. 

1026
00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:47,280
OK, Yeah. 
This show was really great. 

1027
00:58:48,280 --> 00:58:51,800
I love the simplicity of the 
animation and character design. 

1028
00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:55,680
I think that they like, met, 
like they didn't have any, like,

1029
00:58:55,680 --> 00:58:58,280
you know, like crazy, like 
Sakuga or anything like that. 

1030
00:58:58,730 --> 00:59:02,090
But like, they're the production
quality of it overall was like 

1031
00:59:02,090 --> 00:59:04,410
really well done. 
I didn't notice any gaffes. 

1032
00:59:04,730 --> 00:59:09,410
I loved like the like faces and 
stuff that they would use for 

1033
00:59:09,410 --> 00:59:13,730
the characters. 
Just a lot of great reaction 

1034
00:59:13,730 --> 00:59:17,490
images and stuff coming from it.
Like not quite as strong of 

1035
00:59:17,490 --> 00:59:21,050
memory as say you know, Oshi 
Noko or anything like that, but 

1036
00:59:21,050 --> 00:59:23,010
pretty strong. 
And you know, I got to give them

1037
00:59:23,730 --> 00:59:27,450
valid points for that. 
Voice acting was really good. 

1038
00:59:27,920 --> 00:59:30,200
I really liked Sosky as a 
character a lot. 

1039
00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:34,280
Shema, a lot of people seem to 
not really fuck with him that 

1040
00:59:34,280 --> 00:59:36,680
much, but I thought that he was 
like a pretty like, sweet 

1041
00:59:36,680 --> 00:59:41,160
character with some like 
somewhat reasonable trauma from 

1042
00:59:41,160 --> 00:59:43,800
everything. 
Like how many child actors do 

1043
00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:45,520
you know that are doing super 
well? 

1044
00:59:45,640 --> 00:59:49,160
Like be real, especially like 
when they're teenagers and 

1045
00:59:49,160 --> 00:59:52,040
whatnot too, you know? 
Aqua from Ocean. 

1046
00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:54,440
Yeah, So cool. 
No, he's doing great. 

1047
00:59:54,520 --> 00:59:57,880
Yeah. 
Nothing going wrong. 

1048
00:59:58,360 --> 01:00:00,720
Oh whatsoever. 
Yeah. 

1049
01:00:01,040 --> 01:00:03,280
So my overall enjoyment of this 
was pretty high. 

1050
01:00:03,280 --> 01:00:08,000
I was tuning in like every week 
to watch this, which is kind of 

1051
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:11,320
like not rare for me. 
But oftentimes there shows that 

1052
01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:13,760
I'll have to, like, catch up on 
at the end because I fall 

1053
01:00:13,760 --> 01:00:15,440
behind. 
And this was definitely not one 

1054
01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:17,800
of those. 
Which puts it in the upper 

1055
01:00:17,800 --> 01:00:22,880
echelons with such heavy hitters
as, you know, Jigo Kuraku and 

1056
01:00:22,880 --> 01:00:25,240
Vinland Saga, two very 
comparable shows. 

1057
01:00:25,870 --> 01:00:29,430
And yeah, I think for me, 
overall this is like a nine out 

1058
01:00:29,430 --> 01:00:32,670
of 10. 
Yeah, so here comes, here comes 

1059
01:00:32,670 --> 01:00:35,790
my hater. 
I mimic everything that everyone

1060
01:00:35,790 --> 01:00:37,630
just said, but gotta give it an 
8. 

1061
01:00:37,870 --> 01:00:39,710
Unfortunately it's an 8 out of 
10 for me. 

1062
01:00:40,910 --> 01:00:42,590
Be lucky this is both you the 
rock. 

1063
01:00:42,990 --> 01:00:44,630
Yeah, it's right next to both 
you. 

1064
01:00:44,630 --> 01:00:49,470
The rock for it's. 
I don't know. 

1065
01:00:49,470 --> 01:00:52,350
I don't know how the Bochy thing
happened, but if you watch me 

1066
01:00:52,350 --> 01:00:54,110
speak about Bochy, you would 
think I hate it. 

1067
01:00:54,110 --> 01:00:56,390
But I really, really did like 
Bochy the Rock. 

1068
01:00:57,030 --> 01:01:01,550
But I think that overall, like 
my discourse about skipping 

1069
01:01:01,550 --> 01:01:06,780
loafer was a lot happier so. 
I don't know. 

1070
01:01:06,780 --> 01:01:08,660
I really liked it. 
I'm excited to continue it. 

1071
01:01:08,700 --> 01:01:10,900
I think I might wait a little 
bit to see if we get like a 

1072
01:01:10,900 --> 01:01:12,540
Season 2 and if not, I'll just 
catch up. 

1073
01:01:12,780 --> 01:01:16,940
It's not a ton of content, so. 
Yeah, it's a monthly manga, and 

1074
01:01:16,940 --> 01:01:20,300
for a monthly manga the chapters
are pretty short. 

1075
01:01:20,740 --> 01:01:24,420
I read this very, very fast, so 
if you're interested in reading 

1076
01:01:24,420 --> 01:01:26,940
it, it's a very easy read. 
There's there's probably like 

1077
01:01:26,940 --> 01:01:29,980
enough content for like one more
season and then that's it so. 

1078
01:01:33,310 --> 01:01:37,550
Let's move on to our next one. 
Lovely Yamada at level 999, a 

1079
01:01:37,550 --> 01:01:40,990
show that when it started I was 
like lukewarm on it. 

1080
01:01:40,990 --> 01:01:45,950
I did like the aspect of this, 
like gave her boyfriend ideal. 

1081
01:01:46,030 --> 01:01:55,190
I wonder why, but got better as 
we got more episodes until the 

1082
01:01:55,190 --> 01:01:57,870
middle of where we got like the 
whole Runa thing, which was 

1083
01:01:58,270 --> 01:02:00,070
really weird it. 
Was weird. 

1084
01:02:00,750 --> 01:02:03,850
I it was weird. 
It was just really weird. 

1085
01:02:05,170 --> 01:02:08,490
And then sort of like, I get 
that like a Connie's like 

1086
01:02:08,890 --> 01:02:11,610
made-up with Aruna and it's all 
under the bridge. 

1087
01:02:12,610 --> 01:02:17,970
But like, it was just so creepy 
and out of place and I feel like

1088
01:02:17,970 --> 01:02:20,610
you could have done that same 
scenario. 

1089
01:02:21,410 --> 01:02:24,650
Not as creepy. 
And it kind of threw me off for 

1090
01:02:24,650 --> 01:02:26,690
a few episodes towards the end, 
though. 

1091
01:02:27,480 --> 01:02:32,560
Man Yamada Loki Rizgad at the 
end like you caught me like. 

1092
01:02:33,160 --> 01:02:36,320
That was that was like some 
fucking Riz Lord shit. 

1093
01:02:36,560 --> 01:02:38,040
Like, for sure. 
That was great. 

1094
01:02:39,600 --> 01:02:45,000
But honestly, my favorite thing 
about loving Yamada was the 

1095
01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:48,920
visual like that. 
They just make for like the 

1096
01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:51,640
comedy with it we just did 
causing sound and mooring 

1097
01:02:51,640 --> 01:02:53,320
glories. 
They kind of did that as well. 

1098
01:02:53,680 --> 01:02:57,910
I think Yamada did the like. 
It the best, I I thought it was 

1099
01:02:57,910 --> 01:03:02,870
so funny how they are portraying
their emotions through like 

1100
01:03:02,870 --> 01:03:04,910
these little comic gangs with 
their faces. 

1101
01:03:04,910 --> 01:03:09,870
It was it was really good 
supporting characters. 

1102
01:03:10,150 --> 01:03:13,270
It's fuck Runa season until I 
think that she's a better 

1103
01:03:13,270 --> 01:03:14,990
character. 
I have started reading the manga

1104
01:03:14,990 --> 01:03:19,470
but Runa's there she she's fine.
I just it's going to take me a 

1105
01:03:19,470 --> 01:03:21,190
while to like actually forgive 
her. 

1106
01:03:21,730 --> 01:03:24,530
I'm pro ruda because I just 
don't acknowledge that scene. 

1107
01:03:24,530 --> 01:03:27,290
Yeah, I. 
Just yeah. 

1108
01:03:27,290 --> 01:03:29,170
But then like outside, like 
after that when they do like 

1109
01:03:29,170 --> 01:03:32,570
their little funny dance thing, 
like I love it, she's hilarious.

1110
01:03:32,570 --> 01:03:36,290
And that I think the last 
episode where she's like, I I 

1111
01:03:36,290 --> 01:03:39,010
think she kind of sees like 
Akane as like a big sister and 

1112
01:03:39,090 --> 01:03:41,930
she's like very clingy to her. 
Like that's great. 

1113
01:03:41,930 --> 01:03:44,770
I like that a lot. 
ETA I thought was like a low 

1114
01:03:44,770 --> 01:03:49,210
key, great supporting character.
I like his Ruhi May persona 

1115
01:03:49,210 --> 01:03:53,600
online, but then who he is as. 
As a person is also Rui, he may 

1116
01:03:55,680 --> 01:03:58,840
just like the managerial skills 
of being a Guild master, but at 

1117
01:03:58,840 --> 01:04:01,920
the same time being a cute 
rabbit girl was just super fun. 

1118
01:04:01,960 --> 01:04:07,280
I really like that, the Yukari 
stuff with Yamada and her like, 

1119
01:04:07,280 --> 01:04:10,120
confession, I thought that was 
like a great little thing to 

1120
01:04:10,120 --> 01:04:14,800
kind of progress where the main 
couple needed to be towards the 

1121
01:04:14,840 --> 01:04:16,080
end. 
Really good. 

1122
01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:21,800
Yeah, I really like this. 
Hey, how about your what are 

1123
01:04:21,800 --> 01:04:25,080
your thoughts? 
This one was also one that like 

1124
01:04:25,960 --> 01:04:31,640
I hear the premise and I'm like 
I might pass on it but I it 

1125
01:04:31,640 --> 01:04:35,480
jumped like it surprised me is 
what I'm struggling to say. 

1126
01:04:37,280 --> 01:04:42,920
Yamada as a character is starts 
off incredibly boring. 

1127
01:04:42,920 --> 01:04:48,760
I think we can all agree there 
like he is very quiet and 

1128
01:04:48,760 --> 01:04:53,720
doesn't really emote much. 
And even in the sense of like, 

1129
01:04:53,720 --> 01:04:58,120
show, don't tell, he doesn't 
really even show all that much 

1130
01:04:58,120 --> 01:05:01,360
at the start. 
Like, we mostly hear about how 

1131
01:05:01,360 --> 01:05:05,080
he is from other characters, and
I guess that that's just kind of

1132
01:05:05,080 --> 01:05:09,320
like trying to add on to his 
allure is his like tall, dark, 

1133
01:05:09,960 --> 01:05:14,120
handsome, mysterious vibes. 
But for me, it wasn't really 

1134
01:05:14,120 --> 01:05:17,680
doing a ton, even as like a 
bisexual man. 

1135
01:05:18,160 --> 01:05:21,270
So I don't know. 
Eventually though, when he comes

1136
01:05:21,270 --> 01:05:22,510
out of his show, he's pretty 
cool. 

1137
01:05:22,630 --> 01:05:25,830
Like I did enjoy it whenever he 
starts like trying to try a bit 

1138
01:05:25,830 --> 01:05:30,910
more for a main character whose 
name Conne. 

1139
01:05:30,950 --> 01:05:34,670
Thank you. 
I like it when he starts trying 

1140
01:05:34,670 --> 01:05:37,790
a bit more for Akane. 
Akane as a whole is like a 

1141
01:05:37,790 --> 01:05:40,190
pretty interesting character too
in my opinion. 

1142
01:05:40,830 --> 01:05:46,510
Like she feels like a worse, not
worse, but like less developed 

1143
01:05:46,510 --> 01:05:49,550
version of like a Toru Honda 
type character. 

1144
01:05:50,190 --> 01:05:54,910
Like goofy friends with 
everybody, like always trying to

1145
01:05:54,910 --> 01:05:57,430
like solve issues and stuff like
that. 

1146
01:05:57,430 --> 01:06:02,870
But like Toru is like one of the
most well written protagonist of

1147
01:06:02,870 --> 01:06:05,990
all time. 
So it works for her. 

1148
01:06:06,910 --> 01:06:12,110
Akane is like, she's not bad, 
but she just doesn't have like 

1149
01:06:12,110 --> 01:06:17,150
the heavyweight like that to 
kind of do it as well as that 

1150
01:06:17,150 --> 01:06:19,960
sort of like. 
Do it as well as Toru in that 

1151
01:06:19,960 --> 01:06:23,360
sort of role, which I know is 
like compared to like what are 

1152
01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:25,520
the goats? 
But that's just the character, 

1153
01:06:25,520 --> 01:06:27,360
the type. 
She's the arc typical version. 

1154
01:06:27,360 --> 01:06:31,440
Hydrogen Bob versus Krog baby. 
100 percent, 100%, yeah. 

1155
01:06:33,640 --> 01:06:36,440
So I think I would like to read 
a bit more and see if like she 

1156
01:06:36,440 --> 01:06:38,520
gets a bit more character 
development because I think like

1157
01:06:38,520 --> 01:06:41,600
just by the nature of this show,
it's like a slow burn on both 

1158
01:06:41,600 --> 01:06:44,400
character development and their 
romance, so. 

1159
01:06:45,480 --> 01:06:48,160
This is something where I think 
it really could have benefited 

1160
01:06:48,160 --> 01:06:53,520
from being like A2 core show in 
my opinion, because where it 

1161
01:06:53,520 --> 01:06:55,760
left off, like whatever, it 
stopped. 

1162
01:06:55,760 --> 01:06:58,480
I literally said, wait, that 
like that's where it ends. 

1163
01:06:58,480 --> 01:07:02,160
Like that was like in the middle
of a scene practically like, I 

1164
01:07:02,160 --> 01:07:05,720
don't know, sorry. 
Like, I know that I'm kind of 

1165
01:07:05,720 --> 01:07:08,820
rambling here, but like. 
The show as a whole has a bit of

1166
01:07:08,820 --> 01:07:12,900
weird pacing in my opinion for 
A1 core show that doesn't have 

1167
01:07:12,940 --> 01:07:14,860
like, Dick. 
Yeah, I did get a second season 

1168
01:07:14,860 --> 01:07:17,340
announcer was. 
Just the English dub announced. 

1169
01:07:17,700 --> 01:07:22,060
Yeah, so like, I don't know, 
weird production stuff in my 

1170
01:07:22,060 --> 01:07:26,140
opinion that isn't related to 
like looks, miles. 

1171
01:07:26,140 --> 01:07:29,620
What are your thoughts? 
Yeah, So I mean, I really, I 

1172
01:07:29,620 --> 01:07:31,500
enjoyed the show. 
I thought the supporting cast 

1173
01:07:31,500 --> 01:07:33,420
was good. 
I choose to ignore that one Runa

1174
01:07:33,420 --> 01:07:36,470
episode because like. 
I legitimately thought, like, 

1175
01:07:36,470 --> 01:07:38,830
maybe the show was going to go 
in like a slightly more sinister

1176
01:07:38,830 --> 01:07:42,830
direction because of how that 
that scene was like, directed 

1177
01:07:42,830 --> 01:07:44,430
and everything. 
Like, I don't know that that 

1178
01:07:44,430 --> 01:07:48,190
scene was just like really weird
where a connie's in the bathroom

1179
01:07:48,190 --> 01:07:52,350
and the guy just, like comes in 
and like tries to open the stall

1180
01:07:52,350 --> 01:07:55,350
when she's in there. 
And like Runa, like, set that 

1181
01:07:55,350 --> 01:07:56,710
up. 
And like, obviously Runa feels 

1182
01:07:56,710 --> 01:07:59,310
bad because she just wanted a 
Connie to feel awkward and not, 

1183
01:07:59,310 --> 01:08:03,870
like, almost get assaulted, but 
then that just all got brushed 

1184
01:08:03,870 --> 01:08:07,130
under. 
So quickly that it it was weird 

1185
01:08:07,130 --> 01:08:09,370
to me. 
Like the resolutions that really

1186
01:08:09,370 --> 01:08:12,610
fit the crime of not necessarily
what Reuna did, but what that 

1187
01:08:12,810 --> 01:08:16,770
that guy did like like he should
have been like fucking arrested 

1188
01:08:16,770 --> 01:08:18,050
or something. 
Like, I don't know. 

1189
01:08:19,850 --> 01:08:23,649
I think what the show does 
really well is it has these like

1190
01:08:23,649 --> 01:08:27,970
really big whammy romantic 
moments, right, where Yamada's 

1191
01:08:27,970 --> 01:08:32,250
like fucking coming in and being
swoon worthy and like, taking 

1192
01:08:32,250 --> 01:08:35,700
care of her when she's sick. 
Or just being hot in any way, 

1193
01:08:35,700 --> 01:08:37,420
like helping her with her 
computer stuff. 

1194
01:08:37,420 --> 01:08:39,060
Just a bunch of moments like 
that. 

1195
01:08:39,859 --> 01:08:41,340
And I think those are all like, 
really good. 

1196
01:08:42,260 --> 01:08:46,939
And it does add to like a bit of
that weird pacing that we've all

1197
01:08:46,939 --> 01:08:49,979
talked about where like, I 
forgot what episode it is. 

1198
01:08:49,979 --> 01:08:54,540
But Akane is like, and I thought
I liked this dialogue because 

1199
01:08:54,540 --> 01:08:57,380
this feels like actual, like 
human dialogue where you're 

1200
01:08:57,380 --> 01:09:01,020
like, if I liked you, would you 
like that? 

1201
01:09:01,060 --> 01:09:04,300
And it's like. 
That's like a very fun way that 

1202
01:09:04,300 --> 01:09:06,899
I feel like people actually, 
like, hedge into, like trying to

1203
01:09:06,899 --> 01:09:09,540
gauge someone in interest, 
right? 

1204
01:09:09,540 --> 01:09:10,899
Like you're like, nervous about 
it. 

1205
01:09:10,899 --> 01:09:12,340
So you're just like, you do 
that. 

1206
01:09:12,700 --> 01:09:15,460
And then, like, you know, your 
motto was like, I'd be the 

1207
01:09:15,460 --> 01:09:18,020
luckiest guy in the entire world
if you liked me. 

1208
01:09:18,100 --> 01:09:20,340
And it's like fucking, you know,
flowers everywhere. 

1209
01:09:20,740 --> 01:09:23,260
And then like the beginning of 
next episode, she's like, oh, he

1210
01:09:23,260 --> 01:09:25,859
was probably kidding. 
And it's like, no. 

1211
01:09:30,590 --> 01:09:32,910
You know how Yamada does, by the
way. 

1212
01:09:32,950 --> 01:09:35,430
Yeah, it was like that was part 
of it. 

1213
01:09:35,430 --> 01:09:40,069
Like, he's not really like a 
jokester or anything, you know. 

1214
01:09:40,630 --> 01:09:44,229
So like, that annoyed me a 
little bit, but they got there 

1215
01:09:44,229 --> 01:09:47,310
at the end and it was like 
wicked swagy, like when he just 

1216
01:09:47,310 --> 01:09:49,229
like, does the, oh, you caught 
me sort of thing. 

1217
01:09:49,229 --> 01:09:52,990
I was like taking taking notes, 
you know, it's like how to rizz 

1218
01:09:52,990 --> 01:09:56,720
my wife up from Yamada so. 
I don't know. 

1219
01:09:56,720 --> 01:09:59,000
Overall, I I did enjoy it. 
Pete, you want to take us to the

1220
01:09:59,000 --> 01:10:00,840
wrap up? 
Yeah, I I definitely want to 

1221
01:10:00,840 --> 01:10:03,520
mirror something that Jay said, 
because after reading the manga,

1222
01:10:03,680 --> 01:10:07,840
if this was a 2 core, it'd just 
be so much better. 

1223
01:10:08,760 --> 01:10:13,280
Yamada being like this 
demisexual person, once he kind 

1224
01:10:13,280 --> 01:10:17,160
of gets to the point where he's 
opened up to a Connie, is like a

1225
01:10:17,160 --> 01:10:21,320
completely different person and 
I'm really liking what I see in 

1226
01:10:21,320 --> 01:10:24,390
the manga. 
Well we don't get that in the 

1227
01:10:24,430 --> 01:10:28,270
anime and it just makes me wish 
like season two win please 

1228
01:10:28,270 --> 01:10:32,750
because then people can see we 
got a glimpse of Yamada being 

1229
01:10:32,750 --> 01:10:35,190
the Riz Lord. 
Wait till we actually see the 

1230
01:10:35,190 --> 01:10:36,990
Riz Lord in action. 
He's. 

1231
01:10:37,150 --> 01:10:42,230
More Rizzy Hammer Ganta. 
Ganta is the Oh my God, Gaza has

1232
01:10:42,230 --> 01:10:47,670
one of the most swag moves I've 
ever seen in a romantic story. 

1233
01:10:47,710 --> 01:10:50,300
It's. 
It's it's to the point where 

1234
01:10:50,300 --> 01:10:51,900
yesterday I pulled press it 
away. 

1235
01:10:51,900 --> 01:10:54,940
I'm like, listen, I'm going to 
say I'm going to take what I saw

1236
01:10:54,940 --> 01:10:57,660
in a MAGA and apply it to my 
real life. 

1237
01:10:58,060 --> 01:10:59,780
That's how much of A swag move 
it was. 

1238
01:11:00,500 --> 01:11:03,940
But back to Yamada. 
I just thought this was just so 

1239
01:11:03,940 --> 01:11:05,540
much fun to watch. 
It was a blast. 

1240
01:11:05,540 --> 01:11:09,540
Mine is the RUNA scene. 
The the the even like the MMO 

1241
01:11:09,540 --> 01:11:16,620
elements of FOS was pretty fun. 
Minor MAGA spoilers, but there's

1242
01:11:16,620 --> 01:11:20,450
like a scene where. 
Yamada realizes that Akane is 

1243
01:11:20,450 --> 01:11:23,570
using like, her Level 1 beginner
gear, but she doesn't want to 

1244
01:11:23,570 --> 01:11:26,410
change it out because it's cute.
Is something that I could 

1245
01:11:26,410 --> 01:11:29,210
foresee doing it like an MMO, 
period. 

1246
01:11:29,210 --> 01:11:31,970
So stuff like that was just 
like, really fun. 

1247
01:11:33,090 --> 01:11:35,370
I'm gonna give the show at 8. 
It was it was a lot of fun. 

1248
01:11:36,210 --> 01:11:41,330
Yeah, I enjoyed the show quite a
bit, but I think that like I 

1249
01:11:41,330 --> 01:11:44,530
think without knowledge of what 
happens next, like if it was a 2

1250
01:11:44,530 --> 01:11:46,770
core, I think that this would be
an easy 8. 

1251
01:11:47,230 --> 01:11:50,630
Like even like an 8.5 on like 
any list for me personally. 

1252
01:11:51,190 --> 01:11:55,630
But like where it ended, I have 
it rated as a 7.3 on any list so

1253
01:11:55,630 --> 01:11:57,110
I'm gonna go ahead and give this
A7. 

1254
01:11:58,990 --> 01:12:04,430
Yeah, so for me, this is an 8. 
For me, I got to, I did like a 

1255
01:12:04,990 --> 01:12:08,510
watch party with like Trent and 
Galaxy when you're doing this 

1256
01:12:08,510 --> 01:12:10,150
and that really helped my 
enjoyment. 

1257
01:12:10,150 --> 01:12:13,470
I think I really like the side 
characters in this a lot, like 

1258
01:12:13,830 --> 01:12:15,830
especially if I ignore that one 
or in a scene. 

1259
01:12:16,280 --> 01:12:19,960
Like Momo I think is a great 
friend and I liked her like 

1260
01:12:19,960 --> 01:12:23,480
antics going like speed dating 
and stuff, but looks like her 

1261
01:12:23,480 --> 01:12:26,320
and like ETA might have some 
sort of chemistry going on and I

1262
01:12:26,320 --> 01:12:27,520
think that would be a lot of 
fun. 

1263
01:12:28,320 --> 01:12:33,440
Like most romances, I'm always 
hype on the B couple, so you 

1264
01:12:33,440 --> 01:12:35,240
know, I don't know. 
I'm excited to watch more 8 out 

1265
01:12:35,240 --> 01:12:38,200
of 10 for me. 
Right on SO2 eights and A7. 

1266
01:12:40,680 --> 01:12:43,480
Next up we have our first. 
I say like pure comedy. 

1267
01:12:43,480 --> 01:12:45,760
Maybe the only pure comedy that 
we had this. 

1268
01:12:46,200 --> 01:12:54,040
Season Mashal Magic and muscles.
I was coming into this like I I 

1269
01:12:54,040 --> 01:12:56,560
knew I would like it. 
I I probably was gonna give it 

1270
01:12:56,560 --> 01:13:00,800
like a seven at the end of it. 
Really enjoyed like the first 

1271
01:13:01,040 --> 01:13:05,200
eight episode. 
I like how they kind of one man 

1272
01:13:05,200 --> 01:13:08,600
punch parried some stuff with 
Shonen and it was it was 

1273
01:13:08,600 --> 01:13:11,800
thoroughly enjoyable. 
Go towards the end. 

1274
01:13:11,800 --> 01:13:15,560
I really did not like this like 
final boss scene with the puppet

1275
01:13:15,560 --> 01:13:18,040
dude. 
Those last three episodes kind 

1276
01:13:18,040 --> 01:13:20,840
of took me away from what I was 
enjoying with it. 

1277
01:13:21,920 --> 01:13:24,920
Not like a whole lot to say for 
the story. 

1278
01:13:24,920 --> 01:13:28,360
I think to me this was just like
a really fun watch. 

1279
01:13:28,360 --> 01:13:31,800
But it doesn't do what One Punch
Man season one did. 

1280
01:13:31,800 --> 01:13:36,480
It doesn't do what Psyche K does
in terms of like this parody. 

1281
01:13:37,300 --> 01:13:40,060
But it was enjoyable. 
It was a very I watched, I think

1282
01:13:40,060 --> 01:13:43,500
I've watched it like bunches of 
6 episodes at a time, really 

1283
01:13:43,500 --> 01:13:46,700
easy consumable watch. 
But when I see something like A1

1284
01:13:46,700 --> 01:13:49,700
pictures at the helm, I'm 
expecting more. 

1285
01:13:49,740 --> 01:13:55,460
If this was like studio, I don't
know, Zacks or studio go hands 

1286
01:13:55,460 --> 01:13:56,740
or something like that. 
And I saw this. 

1287
01:13:56,740 --> 01:13:59,580
I'm like, yes, this is what I 
expect from a studio like this, 

1288
01:13:59,580 --> 01:14:03,660
but a one's like a pretty 
established company and they've 

1289
01:14:03,660 --> 01:14:09,100
done very well animated. 
Properties And I didn't really 

1290
01:14:09,100 --> 01:14:11,580
get like a soccer gun moment. 
I didn't really see like a oh 

1291
01:14:11,580 --> 01:14:14,220
wow, look at this moment from 
Marshall. 

1292
01:14:14,260 --> 01:14:16,340
Comedy was there though, and it 
was enjoyable. 

1293
01:14:16,340 --> 01:14:17,660
Jay, what are your thoughts on 
Marshall? 

1294
01:14:18,380 --> 01:14:21,820
This was something where I kind 
of went into it with somewhat 

1295
01:14:21,820 --> 01:14:26,700
high hopes, just because I 
honestly, wholly because of our 

1296
01:14:26,700 --> 01:14:29,260
boy Tyler piping up the manga to
me. 

1297
01:14:31,020 --> 01:14:34,100
And the first few episodes were 
very funny, don't get me wrong. 

1298
01:14:34,570 --> 01:14:37,810
I think that when the show is 
focusing on mash, it is super 

1299
01:14:37,810 --> 01:14:41,570
funny and pretty good, but like 
I just cannot care about this 

1300
01:14:41,570 --> 01:14:44,690
side cast at all. 
None of them are interesting to 

1301
01:14:44,690 --> 01:14:47,290
me. 
Like Lance would be somewhat 

1302
01:14:47,290 --> 01:14:49,770
interesting if he didn't have 
like the Ciscon thing. 

1303
01:14:50,090 --> 01:14:56,650
Although like mash relating or 
not relating reacting mash 

1304
01:14:56,650 --> 01:15:01,290
reacting to the Ciscon thing and
like really call the police on 

1305
01:15:01,290 --> 01:15:02,290
him. 
It was funny. 

1306
01:15:02,370 --> 01:15:07,110
Yeah, awkward related. 
Like, Finn does literally 

1307
01:15:07,110 --> 01:15:10,710
nothing. dot. 
I just don't really like his 

1308
01:15:10,710 --> 01:15:14,910
whole gag about, like, wanting 
to be the main character and 

1309
01:15:14,910 --> 01:15:20,230
like, screaming at everything. 
Like Asta Lemon, She does 

1310
01:15:20,310 --> 01:15:22,990
absolutely nothing as well, 
besides getting kidnapped and 

1311
01:15:22,990 --> 01:15:27,110
fantasized about having group 
sex with a bunch of men, which I

1312
01:15:27,110 --> 01:15:28,870
understand. 
Like, who among us who? 

1313
01:15:29,430 --> 01:15:31,550
Among us. 
I just don't bring it up all the

1314
01:15:31,550 --> 01:15:38,100
time and then like. 
I will say that the his dad and 

1315
01:15:38,100 --> 01:15:42,500
like the government guy, they 
were funny side characters, like

1316
01:15:42,500 --> 01:15:44,740
the scene where they just pop up
randomly and they're like, hey, 

1317
01:15:44,740 --> 01:15:47,900
shouldn't you be going to work? 
Screen time, Screen time. 

1318
01:15:47,900 --> 01:15:50,500
Is more important than work of 
like, hell yeah, like, that's 

1319
01:15:50,500 --> 01:15:56,100
actually pretty funny. 
We had some, I think we had like

1320
01:15:56,140 --> 01:15:58,420
a recap episode or something in 
the middle of this too. 

1321
01:15:58,420 --> 01:16:00,900
That was like whatever to me. 
They managed to make it like 

1322
01:16:00,900 --> 01:16:03,820
somewhat funny even for a recap 
episode, but like. 

1323
01:16:05,280 --> 01:16:07,840
I don't think you should be 
having recap episodes for plot 

1324
01:16:07,840 --> 01:16:12,880
like comedy shows, IMO, unless 
it's just like like it. 

1325
01:16:13,040 --> 01:16:15,160
Obviously it's like a production
thing, like they just had to, 

1326
01:16:15,160 --> 01:16:18,520
but like, it's a bad look for a 
show like this in my opinion. 

1327
01:16:18,520 --> 01:16:22,320
Like G, which you can kind of 
get away with like that because 

1328
01:16:22,320 --> 01:16:26,920
there's like 87 named characters
that are named stuff like like 

1329
01:16:27,320 --> 01:16:29,960
Tuna Quattro and stuff like 
that. 

1330
01:16:30,680 --> 01:16:34,960
And it's hard to keep that. 
Character in wings name That's 

1331
01:16:34,960 --> 01:16:39,440
literally a gut of character. 
Name and like. 

1332
01:16:39,440 --> 01:16:42,680
Don't get me wrong, MASH was 
fine. 

1333
01:16:42,680 --> 01:16:46,400
But yeah, when we give our 
closing thoughts of I'm not 

1334
01:16:46,400 --> 01:16:50,200
going to be super kind about it,
I'm not going to lie, Mamas, 

1335
01:16:50,200 --> 01:16:53,960
what do you think? 
Yeah, I think we're Mashal falls

1336
01:16:53,960 --> 01:16:58,810
flat is that. 
All the side I just, I kind of 

1337
01:16:58,810 --> 01:17:02,330
care about Lance because they 
like, characterize him at all. 

1338
01:17:02,730 --> 01:17:05,770
And like, I don't know, I didn't
necessarily think that like he 

1339
01:17:05,770 --> 01:17:07,490
was like sexually into his 
sister. 

1340
01:17:07,970 --> 01:17:10,850
Like I think he just cared about
his sister and like that's a 

1341
01:17:11,050 --> 01:17:14,530
thing decent people do. 
Well, it's like in your motto. 

1342
01:17:14,530 --> 01:17:18,050
When someone calls Eta Siscon, 
he's like, I'm not a siscon, I 

1343
01:17:18,090 --> 01:17:19,850
just obsessively care about my 
sister. 

1344
01:17:19,850 --> 01:17:23,410
More than that is normal, a 
sister complex. 

1345
01:17:25,200 --> 01:17:28,360
Yeah, there there was some weird
things at the end of this. 

1346
01:17:28,360 --> 01:17:34,120
Like someone like the the secret
main bad guy was like pretending

1347
01:17:34,240 --> 01:17:37,640
to be Lance and like we don't 
know where Lance is and then 

1348
01:17:37,640 --> 01:17:40,560
that just never gets answered. 
We just don't know what happened

1349
01:17:40,560 --> 01:17:42,960
to him. 
It's never addressed by anyone, 

1350
01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:48,160
which is really weird. 
Lemon is not a character like at

1351
01:17:48,160 --> 01:17:52,160
all. dot is a character, but I 
don't like him. 

1352
01:17:53,080 --> 01:17:56,330
Finn looks. 
To me, like he might eventually 

1353
01:17:56,330 --> 01:17:58,770
become a character when they 
like introduced his brother and 

1354
01:17:58,770 --> 01:18:00,970
his brothers like God's gift to 
magician. 

1355
01:18:00,970 --> 01:18:04,050
So like something to look 
forward to I guess. 

1356
01:18:04,890 --> 01:18:07,210
But honestly, I doubt they'll 
capitalize on it. 

1357
01:18:08,570 --> 01:18:12,090
However, it's really funny. 
The show is funny, it's got like

1358
01:18:12,090 --> 01:18:15,010
3 jokes, but I like them pretty 
much every time. 

1359
01:18:15,290 --> 01:18:17,970
I think when they start to be a 
little more dramatic as opposed 

1360
01:18:17,970 --> 01:18:22,610
to comedic at the end that 
matter, you know what I mean? 

1361
01:18:22,610 --> 01:18:23,890
Like, I don't know it. 
It doesn't. 

1362
01:18:24,170 --> 01:18:27,450
It doesn't do great. 
This is something that I think 

1363
01:18:27,450 --> 01:18:28,890
has a Season 2 confirmed. 
It does. 

1364
01:18:28,930 --> 01:18:32,610
I don't necessarily like. 
I think I enjoyed my time with 

1365
01:18:32,610 --> 01:18:34,850
National, but I sort of think 
this is it for me. 

1366
01:18:34,850 --> 01:18:36,330
I don't know. 
Pete, you want to wrap us up? 

1367
01:18:36,450 --> 01:18:38,890
Yeah, no, for sure. 
I'm kind of gonna pull a J here.

1368
01:18:38,890 --> 01:18:42,690
Like if I had any list, this 
would be like a 6.6 or something

1369
01:18:42,690 --> 01:18:44,170
like that. 
But because we use like a Mal 

1370
01:18:44,170 --> 01:18:48,210
ring, I'm gonna give this A7. 
This is the comedy well enough 

1371
01:18:48,210 --> 01:18:52,010
to the point where I was 
intrigued every episode. 

1372
01:18:52,820 --> 01:18:57,220
But yeah, outside of MASH did 
not care about anybody else. 

1373
01:18:57,220 --> 01:19:00,260
Maybe like the grandmaster that 
we saw in like the first 

1374
01:19:00,260 --> 01:19:02,620
episode. 
He seems funny, but we don't 

1375
01:19:02,620 --> 01:19:04,540
really get anything more from 
that. 

1376
01:19:04,940 --> 01:19:10,900
Just like a very average to 
slightly above average comedy 

1377
01:19:10,900 --> 01:19:13,100
parody. 
Yeah, it was it was fun. 

1378
01:19:14,780 --> 01:19:19,980
Yeah, I'm gonna go out and say 
probably just go watch One Punch

1379
01:19:19,980 --> 01:19:22,100
Man Instead I'm gonna give this 
a six. 

1380
01:19:24,290 --> 01:19:28,170
Yeah, I I think that if you're 
if you like Harry Potter or 

1381
01:19:28,170 --> 01:19:30,770
whatever, it's worth a watch 
because they do make fun of 

1382
01:19:30,770 --> 01:19:32,690
Harry Potter. 
And yeah, that's fair, actually.

1383
01:19:32,690 --> 01:19:34,490
Sorry, Yeah, I forgot. 
People like Harry Potter. 

1384
01:19:38,730 --> 01:19:43,250
As a millennial, it's impossible
to forget, but like, I think 

1385
01:19:43,250 --> 01:19:46,970
there's like some good comedy 
bits like around that, like 

1386
01:19:46,970 --> 01:19:48,730
because it literally is just 
Harry Potter. 

1387
01:19:48,770 --> 01:19:51,450
Like there's a Sorting Hat. 
They play Quidditch. 

1388
01:19:51,450 --> 01:19:53,850
It was a sorting Unicorn 
skeleton. 

1389
01:19:53,890 --> 01:19:55,970
It was, which is cooler than I 
had, yeah. 

1390
01:19:56,450 --> 01:20:00,610
That's way dope for. 
But yeah, for me this is like A7

1391
01:20:01,090 --> 01:20:03,930
like on the lower end, so like 
lower seven out of 10, you know,

1392
01:20:03,930 --> 01:20:06,690
probably like a 6.8 or something
like that, like these talk 

1393
01:20:06,770 --> 01:20:08,730
about. 
All right, two sevens and a six 

1394
01:20:08,730 --> 01:20:14,970
for Mashal. 
Next up is our second favorite 

1395
01:20:15,010 --> 01:20:18,090
Yuri of the season, Birdie Wing 
Season 2. 

1396
01:20:19,290 --> 01:20:22,570
Kind of like how they set up for
season 2 and what was, I was 

1397
01:20:22,570 --> 01:20:27,090
hoping, what was going to 
happen, and then the ending 

1398
01:20:27,090 --> 01:20:29,050
happened. 
The pacing was insane that they 

1399
01:20:29,050 --> 01:20:34,170
go from in like a span of like 6
or 7 episodes, winning the 

1400
01:20:34,170 --> 01:20:39,210
National Japanese Duo's high 
school golf tournament to 

1401
01:20:39,210 --> 01:20:44,250
playing and not only playing, 
winning the British Open, just 

1402
01:20:44,770 --> 01:20:48,090
Sonic, I mean. 
Winning in quotation marks. 

1403
01:20:48,090 --> 01:20:49,370
Let me put that on quotation 
marks. 

1404
01:20:49,930 --> 01:20:56,850
Just supersonic speed where I I 
don't know it. 

1405
01:20:56,850 --> 01:21:01,450
But it it did keep up with like 
it's outlandish, insane 

1406
01:21:01,450 --> 01:21:07,810
storyline of how we developing 
the same heart condition as her 

1407
01:21:07,810 --> 01:21:11,450
father, who she finds out who 
her real father is in the 

1408
01:21:11,450 --> 01:21:14,090
second-half of the season, just 
like what is. 

1409
01:21:14,430 --> 01:21:17,950
Happening in this story, it's. 
They had golf cancer, dude. 

1410
01:21:17,990 --> 01:21:21,070
They did have, yeah. 
They had a severe case of TB, 

1411
01:21:21,070 --> 01:21:26,230
which was like, am I wrong to 
think that that isn't TB? 

1412
01:21:26,910 --> 01:21:29,830
Like, terrible? 
Am I wrong? 

1413
01:21:30,320 --> 01:21:32,560
So they no, they had, they 
didn't have TV, they had like 

1414
01:21:32,560 --> 01:21:34,800
multiple. 
Scrollers Ms. sorry, Blog 

1415
01:21:34,800 --> 01:21:37,800
acronym. 
Yeah, one of those curables. 

1416
01:21:37,920 --> 01:21:40,120
Yeah, I was like, I thought, 
yeah, I was like, I'm pretty 

1417
01:21:40,120 --> 01:21:42,080
sure TV's. 
Curable they had like they had, 

1418
01:21:42,840 --> 01:21:45,440
but it was only only when they 
played golf. 

1419
01:21:45,560 --> 01:21:48,840
Yeah, they got. 
So stressed about golf, they 

1420
01:21:48,840 --> 01:21:54,360
frankly died, which matches the 
thieve of Bertie wig, right? 

1421
01:21:55,520 --> 01:21:59,350
Yeah, I. 
So Pete, you lied a couple of 

1422
01:21:59,350 --> 01:22:01,350
times. 
One, you said that this was our 

1423
01:22:01,350 --> 01:22:03,830
second favorite. 
Yuri, this is very strongly my 

1424
01:22:03,830 --> 01:22:04,790
third favorite. 
And. 

1425
01:22:04,790 --> 01:22:07,950
Then also, yeah, my my 
apologies. 

1426
01:22:08,750 --> 01:22:12,590
And then also calling this Yuri 
is a disservice to the fucking 

1427
01:22:12,630 --> 01:22:16,790
genre because they just sort of 
forgot to have our girls 

1428
01:22:16,790 --> 01:22:20,030
interact almost this entire 
season. 

1429
01:22:21,270 --> 01:22:25,110
Which is nuts to me. 
Like it felt like I don't know 

1430
01:22:25,110 --> 01:22:27,390
what the fuck happened, but 
like. 

1431
01:22:28,560 --> 01:22:31,880
They just, I I enjoyed it like I
did. 

1432
01:22:31,880 --> 01:22:33,120
I had fun. 
It was Birdie wing. 

1433
01:22:33,120 --> 01:22:36,120
It was insane and stuff, but 
like, so like ultimately it like

1434
01:22:36,960 --> 01:22:38,200
who fucking cares about the 
plot? 

1435
01:22:38,200 --> 01:22:41,080
It's Birdie Wing. 
But like, let's say you did care

1436
01:22:41,080 --> 01:22:43,520
about the plot. 
Let's just pause it that for a 

1437
01:22:43,520 --> 01:22:46,000
second. 
What the fuck happened? 

1438
01:22:46,040 --> 01:22:49,680
Yeah, like, you know, we'll talk
about G Witch at the end here. 

1439
01:22:50,040 --> 01:22:52,280
That had like a bit of a rush 
ending, but overall I thought it

1440
01:22:52,280 --> 01:22:53,760
was fine. 
Like, not even fine. 

1441
01:22:53,760 --> 01:22:55,840
I enjoyed it a lot, and I think 
the fact that it was rushed 

1442
01:22:55,840 --> 01:22:57,560
wasn't a huge detriment to the 
ending. 

1443
01:22:58,360 --> 01:23:02,760
Birdie wing, Jesus Christ. 
The the whole thing was we were 

1444
01:23:02,760 --> 01:23:05,480
supposed to watch them play golf
together again, and then we did.

1445
01:23:05,480 --> 01:23:07,560
That just never happens. 
That actually just doesn't 

1446
01:23:07,560 --> 01:23:09,000
happen. 
Like the entire point of the 

1447
01:23:09,000 --> 01:23:14,480
show never happens, which is I 
thought there would be another 

1448
01:23:14,480 --> 01:23:16,800
episode or something, like maybe
we'll get an OVA. 

1449
01:23:17,440 --> 01:23:21,920
Or something, I don't know. 
We arguing what a switch game, A

1450
01:23:21,920 --> 01:23:24,960
switch golf game. 
I think the Switch game is an 

1451
01:23:24,960 --> 01:23:28,480
import, like a port of the 
mobile game that only exists in 

1452
01:23:28,480 --> 01:23:31,080
Japan. 
Okay, I was like, maybe the 

1453
01:23:31,080 --> 01:23:35,360
story continues and. 
It's starting at the beginning, 

1454
01:23:35,360 --> 01:23:39,440
so it doesn't continue okay, but
maybe eventually I'll have to 

1455
01:23:39,440 --> 01:23:42,360
play through the Bertie Wing 
visual novel to get any sort of.

1456
01:23:43,190 --> 01:23:46,310
Closure on Bertie Wing. 
I did love that Eve got 

1457
01:23:46,310 --> 01:23:49,590
disqualified from the British 
Open because of her ties of the 

1458
01:23:49,590 --> 01:23:52,190
Mafia. 
I thought that was like, so 

1459
01:23:52,190 --> 01:23:54,990
stupid that they just tied it 
back to reality like that. 

1460
01:23:54,990 --> 01:23:57,630
Like all of this insane shit 
happens and then it's like, wait

1461
01:23:57,630 --> 01:23:59,510
a minute, you're a criminal 
like. 

1462
01:23:59,550 --> 01:24:03,390
That back to reality, whoop. 
Like if you see Monty Python on 

1463
01:24:03,390 --> 01:24:05,790
the Holy Grail. 
It's been years. 

1464
01:24:05,910 --> 01:24:08,470
Well, at the end of it, they all
get arrested because they kill 

1465
01:24:08,470 --> 01:24:11,810
historian and like the first. 10
minutes, the movie. 

1466
01:24:12,370 --> 01:24:14,730
And it's like, so like they're 
invading the castle and like, 

1467
01:24:14,730 --> 01:24:16,690
the cops show up. 
And it just like reminded me of 

1468
01:24:16,690 --> 01:24:20,330
that, where it was just like, 
actually, you can't just get 

1469
01:24:20,330 --> 01:24:22,690
away with, like, betting your 
life on golf. 

1470
01:24:22,850 --> 01:24:27,290
Yeah, it's not allowed. 
I don't know. 

1471
01:24:27,290 --> 01:24:29,370
You you want to wrap us up? 
Do you have anything else to 

1472
01:24:29,370 --> 01:24:31,610
say? 
Yeah, I mean, just for how 

1473
01:24:31,730 --> 01:24:35,570
outlandish this series is in 
general is sort of what I'm 

1474
01:24:35,570 --> 01:24:37,490
basing it off of, if I was 
basing it off of like. 

1475
01:24:38,030 --> 01:24:43,150
Merit and my respect of anime. 
This would probably be like a 5,

1476
01:24:43,590 --> 01:24:47,150
but because the show is just so 
batshit crazy at times, I love 

1477
01:24:47,150 --> 01:24:49,270
it. 
I'm a I gave season one A7, I'm 

1478
01:24:49,270 --> 01:24:55,350
gonna give this A7 as well. 
Yeah, I OK, so I gave season one

1479
01:24:55,350 --> 01:25:00,150
A9 and I will stick by that. 
This is more like an 8 out of 

1480
01:25:00,150 --> 01:25:04,110
respect for me. 
Probably A7 in reality, I mean. 

1481
01:25:04,710 --> 01:25:05,870
I don't know. 
It was weird. 

1482
01:25:06,390 --> 01:25:07,830
It was weird. 
I liked it. 

1483
01:25:08,110 --> 01:25:11,790
But it just it lacked the charm 
of season one. 

1484
01:25:11,950 --> 01:25:13,470
I. 
Think Nope, I agree. 

1485
01:25:14,190 --> 01:25:17,950
OK. 
All right. 

1486
01:25:17,950 --> 01:25:22,710
Moving on to our next show, we 
have Building comedy season 

1487
01:25:23,030 --> 01:25:25,190
four. 
Sort of. 

1488
01:25:25,790 --> 01:25:30,190
My memory of this was a little 
distorted because of the huge 

1489
01:25:30,190 --> 01:25:33,030
break in between the first few 
episodes and then. 

1490
01:25:33,910 --> 01:25:37,670
Sort of wrapping it up now. 
However, that being said, it's a

1491
01:25:37,670 --> 01:25:39,470
golden comedy. 
It was fantastic. 

1492
01:25:39,470 --> 01:25:41,990
There was a couple of incredible
moments from this season. 

1493
01:25:42,590 --> 01:25:47,510
I thought the Asripa director, 
that whole movie episode was 

1494
01:25:47,510 --> 01:25:52,230
really well done. 
The the guy who sort of loses 

1495
01:25:52,230 --> 01:25:55,030
his mind and is playing 
different roles with the bear. 

1496
01:25:55,310 --> 01:25:57,630
I thought that was a very 
interesting episode and kind of 

1497
01:25:57,630 --> 01:26:02,710
how season four ended with this 
pirate character, kind of like I

1498
01:26:02,710 --> 01:26:05,790
had the. 
Where his alliances but I 

1499
01:26:05,830 --> 01:26:08,870
thought that was a great setup 
for season five. 

1500
01:26:09,230 --> 01:26:13,630
It also has one of my favorite 
foreshadowing moments of any 

1501
01:26:13,630 --> 01:26:17,910
form of media ever where we have
this Jack the Ripperesque 

1502
01:26:17,910 --> 01:26:23,350
character sort of being pursued 
in episode. 

1503
01:26:23,350 --> 01:26:30,110
I think it's seven or eight that
to lead up to a jizz fight in 

1504
01:26:30,110 --> 01:26:35,070
episode 10 or 11. 
Was something I you could have 

1505
01:26:35,070 --> 01:26:38,070
given me 100 guesses of what 
Golden Comedy was going to do, 

1506
01:26:38,670 --> 01:26:41,110
and for some reason Jizz Fight 
wasn't in there, but it 

1507
01:26:41,110 --> 01:26:47,550
definitely fits Golden Comedy. 
Also in this season we found out

1508
01:26:47,550 --> 01:26:52,310
like Asripa remembering more of 
the information on Gold and her 

1509
01:26:52,310 --> 01:26:55,870
being more of the focal point of
Saroomi's sort of trying to 

1510
01:26:55,870 --> 01:27:02,170
capture her. 
I would say this is a very solid

1511
01:27:02,170 --> 01:27:03,690
this season. 
I think how they set up for 

1512
01:27:03,690 --> 01:27:06,770
Season 5, which is the final was
handled really well. 

1513
01:27:06,770 --> 01:27:09,970
Jay, where are your thoughts on 
GK Season 4? 

1514
01:27:10,770 --> 01:27:13,930
Yeah, I love Golden Kong movies.
So, like, I pretty much agree 

1515
01:27:13,930 --> 01:27:16,890
with everything that you said. 
I like Ashripa coming into like 

1516
01:27:16,890 --> 01:27:19,650
her own. 
I like Ogata returning. 

1517
01:27:19,650 --> 01:27:22,890
I like his line where they're 
like, oh, is our sniper all 

1518
01:27:22,890 --> 01:27:24,810
better? 
And he's like, no, because 

1519
01:27:24,810 --> 01:27:27,010
you're not a sniper unless you 
shoot people. 

1520
01:27:27,540 --> 01:27:29,500
And I was like, damn, that's 
fucking raw. 

1521
01:27:29,500 --> 01:27:33,300
Oh, got it. 
It was the fucking Kinjirosudo 

1522
01:27:33,300 --> 01:27:35,980
voicing, as always. 
Like, that's just raw as hell. 

1523
01:27:36,940 --> 01:27:41,140
I liked the back story dives we 
had for a bunch of the members 

1524
01:27:41,140 --> 01:27:47,460
of the 7th in the season. 
Like seeing, you know, what's 

1525
01:27:47,460 --> 01:27:53,020
his face? 
Crazy guy with the tattoos on 

1526
01:27:53,020 --> 01:27:54,500
his face now. 
Oh yeah. 

1527
01:27:55,760 --> 01:27:57,600
Who had the jizz fight? 
I can't think of his fucking 

1528
01:27:57,600 --> 01:27:59,440
name. 
I know it's blanket from my mind

1529
01:27:59,720 --> 01:28:01,640
but everybody knows I'm talking 
about when I say just fight. 

1530
01:28:01,640 --> 01:28:04,800
Seems like his back story where 
he like killed his best friend 

1531
01:28:04,800 --> 01:28:09,280
out of jealousy when he was 
younger and like as well as 

1532
01:28:09,280 --> 01:28:10,920
seeing more of a got his back 
story. 

1533
01:28:10,920 --> 01:28:13,120
Like diving into his psychology 
a bit. 

1534
01:28:13,560 --> 01:28:17,160
Like really just seeing like how
Surumi has manipulated all of 

1535
01:28:17,160 --> 01:28:20,520
these men into like loving him 
and seeing him as like a best 

1536
01:28:20,520 --> 01:28:23,760
friend and father figure so 
he'll so they'll work towards 

1537
01:28:23,760 --> 01:28:27,160
his goals. 
Like I used to have a friend who

1538
01:28:27,160 --> 01:28:31,680
I would argue about like 
greatest villains in anime with 

1539
01:28:32,200 --> 01:28:34,280
and like he would always say 
Surumi. 

1540
01:28:34,280 --> 01:28:36,440
And I didn't agree with him 
until I read Gordon Conway. 

1541
01:28:36,520 --> 01:28:40,840
And I gotta say Surumi is a top 
tier villain in my opinion as 

1542
01:28:40,840 --> 01:28:44,480
far as like plotting and 
motivation in such goes. 

1543
01:28:44,800 --> 01:28:48,280
Like it is just truly incredible
to see the writing that they've 

1544
01:28:48,280 --> 01:28:53,080
been doing with him. 
Voice acting cast going crazy as

1545
01:28:53,080 --> 01:28:55,840
per usual. 
Just really enjoying that. 

1546
01:28:55,840 --> 01:28:59,560
I loved the arcs that we had. 
The Bear arc is like super 

1547
01:28:59,560 --> 01:29:01,280
trippy. 
Even as someone who is reading 

1548
01:29:01,280 --> 01:29:03,840
it, I like as I was watching I 
was like, damn, I can't really 

1549
01:29:03,840 --> 01:29:06,080
remember how this goes. 
I'm excited to see where it goes

1550
01:29:06,080 --> 01:29:10,840
that it was like the way that 
they like explained what 

1551
01:29:10,840 --> 01:29:14,320
visually we saw was really well 
done in my opinion, because 

1552
01:29:14,320 --> 01:29:18,880
that's something that can often.
It's hard to balance and horror 

1553
01:29:18,960 --> 01:29:23,140
a lot of the time. 
Yeah, I love this season quite a

1554
01:29:23,140 --> 01:29:25,500
bit. 
I think that it's probably like 

1555
01:29:25,500 --> 01:29:29,340
my second overall favorite 
season of Golden Conway. 

1556
01:29:29,340 --> 01:29:33,740
I liked the last season just a 
little bit more because it had a

1557
01:29:33,740 --> 01:29:36,500
lot of strong moments in Russia 
and stuff like that. 

1558
01:29:36,820 --> 01:29:40,660
But this one is also extremely 
good and I'm very excited for 

1559
01:29:40,660 --> 01:29:43,420
the 5th season. 
You want to do our closing 

1560
01:29:43,420 --> 01:29:44,700
thoughts. 
Yeah, yeah, just. 

1561
01:29:45,890 --> 01:29:49,410
Golden Comedy is always been 
extremely solid throughout its 

1562
01:29:49,410 --> 01:29:53,050
entire series, and season four 
was no exception. 

1563
01:29:53,370 --> 01:29:57,530
Had a lot of great moments. 
I like how we're getting close 

1564
01:29:57,530 --> 01:29:59,810
to the end game and I like how 
they flesh that out. 

1565
01:29:59,810 --> 01:30:02,170
In this season, I'm gonna give 
it a nine. 

1566
01:30:02,210 --> 01:30:05,490
I thought it was really solid. 
I'm also going to give it a nine

1567
01:30:05,490 --> 01:30:07,130
actually. 
I really enjoyed this season 

1568
01:30:07,130 --> 01:30:10,330
quite a bit and I think that you
know if we get like great 

1569
01:30:10,330 --> 01:30:13,790
production with. 
Hopefully no unfortunate delays 

1570
01:30:13,790 --> 01:30:17,070
due to production team debts 
this time. 

1571
01:30:17,070 --> 01:30:20,190
Like I think that season five 
will have a real fighting 

1572
01:30:20,190 --> 01:30:22,230
chance. 
Yeah, yeah. 

1573
01:30:22,230 --> 01:30:24,750
So two nines for golden combo. 
Season four. 

1574
01:30:24,790 --> 01:30:26,550
You're not watching golden 
combo. 

1575
01:30:26,550 --> 01:30:31,670
You you need to. 
All right. 

1576
01:30:31,670 --> 01:30:34,430
Next up we have Heavenly 
Delusion. 

1577
01:30:34,990 --> 01:30:40,910
A show that to me, I was, I was 
like 5050 on again. 

1578
01:30:41,760 --> 01:30:46,920
I I like the premise, but a lot 
of the time like post dystopia, 

1579
01:30:47,680 --> 01:30:51,760
slash apocalyptic sometimes 
misses the mark and it's not 

1580
01:30:51,760 --> 01:30:54,240
really my thing. 
However, by the time that this 

1581
01:30:54,240 --> 01:30:58,360
was all said and done fucking 
loved Heavenly Delusion. 

1582
01:30:58,360 --> 01:31:01,480
I thought they did a great job 
at these two main characters 

1583
01:31:01,480 --> 01:31:04,680
exploring the world while 
there's this other underlying 

1584
01:31:04,680 --> 01:31:10,640
mystery about heaven going on. 
I must say in the same time in 

1585
01:31:10,640 --> 01:31:12,920
quotation marks with, but in 
terms of like how it's portrayed

1586
01:31:12,920 --> 01:31:16,920
in the TV show, I think it's 
pretty clear that this, that 

1587
01:31:16,920 --> 01:31:20,040
having the backflashes that 
we're seeing is like fifteenish 

1588
01:31:20,040 --> 01:31:23,120
years in the past. 
Love, like the mystery of like 

1589
01:31:23,120 --> 01:31:25,960
some people kind of having 
powers. 

1590
01:31:25,960 --> 01:31:30,200
But that power has like a 
consequence later down the road,

1591
01:31:30,200 --> 01:31:35,240
Like these kids are not living 
that long or at some points like

1592
01:31:35,360 --> 01:31:40,630
turning into these maneaters. 
Just really well done in terms 

1593
01:31:40,630 --> 01:31:42,670
of like animation. 
There's a couple of really nice 

1594
01:31:42,670 --> 01:31:44,670
soccer got moments that I 
thought stood out. 

1595
01:31:44,670 --> 01:31:48,470
This is honestly one of the best
animated properties I think of 

1596
01:31:48,470 --> 01:31:50,190
the season. 
I didn't watch Demon Slayer. 

1597
01:31:50,190 --> 01:31:53,550
I'm sure that was great, but I 
thought the animation team 

1598
01:31:53,550 --> 01:31:56,790
killed it in Heavenly Delusion. 
There's not a whole lot of bad 

1599
01:31:56,790 --> 01:31:59,630
things to say about it. 
I think it maybe started a 

1600
01:31:59,630 --> 01:32:02,590
little slow, but I think that's 
just to set up what what it was.

1601
01:32:02,630 --> 01:32:04,670
So yeah, your thoughts on 
Heavenly Delusion. 

1602
01:32:05,650 --> 01:32:10,770
Yeah, this was one of my most 
type shows releasing for the 

1603
01:32:10,770 --> 01:32:12,850
season. 
Whenever we got the trailer for 

1604
01:32:12,850 --> 01:32:16,210
it, I knew that I was going. 
It intrigued me just seeing it 

1605
01:32:16,210 --> 01:32:18,970
because I like the mystery 
aspect of it quite a bit and 

1606
01:32:18,970 --> 01:32:24,570
like the scifi elements, I'm 
usually a big fan of like post 

1607
01:32:24,570 --> 01:32:27,130
apocalyptic stuff. 
Oh, OK, maybe not usually. 

1608
01:32:27,130 --> 01:32:29,050
If it's like unique enough, I'm 
a fan of it. 

1609
01:32:29,050 --> 01:32:31,970
I don't just like wear a bunch 
of like. 

1610
01:32:32,870 --> 01:32:37,990
Dirty hot people roaming around 
the countryside Walking Dead 

1611
01:32:37,990 --> 01:32:40,350
type stuff. 
Sometimes that doesn't get me, 

1612
01:32:40,350 --> 01:32:42,270
but this, I think it was done 
pretty well. 

1613
01:32:43,030 --> 01:32:46,030
We talked, we've talked a lot 
about like show don't tell in 

1614
01:32:46,030 --> 01:32:51,270
this video, but I think that 
this is this show that most 

1615
01:32:51,270 --> 01:32:54,430
masterfully did it this season 
with like the. 

1616
01:32:55,070 --> 01:33:00,950
So to kind of put it on the 
table, the aspects of the show. 

1617
01:33:01,300 --> 01:33:07,620
The part that we see with like 
Tokyo is that is heaven, Heaven 

1618
01:33:08,460 --> 01:33:11,580
let that part. 
And then the post apocalyptic 

1619
01:33:11,580 --> 01:33:14,180
thing we see is the delusion 
aspect of it. 

1620
01:33:14,180 --> 01:33:17,700
So it's split into the heaven 
plot in the delusion plot. 

1621
01:33:18,380 --> 01:33:22,820
And I really liked the like how 
they don't really tell you that 

1622
01:33:22,820 --> 01:33:24,380
at first it's left up in the 
air. 

1623
01:33:24,380 --> 01:33:27,700
It's not just like a we start 
off in the apocalypse and then 

1624
01:33:27,700 --> 01:33:29,890
it. 
It has like black screen pulled 

1625
01:33:29,890 --> 01:33:33,410
15 years later, Vine boom or 
something like that. 

1626
01:33:33,410 --> 01:33:36,810
I like that they kind of left it
open to interpretation and stuff

1627
01:33:36,810 --> 01:33:40,410
like that. 
And there's actually like, so to

1628
01:33:40,410 --> 01:33:43,370
put it in full, put another 
thing on the table here. 

1629
01:33:43,370 --> 01:33:47,490
I read this whole Mongo like 
before it was even done just 

1630
01:33:47,490 --> 01:33:50,330
because I was tired of waiting 
for the weekly episodes. 

1631
01:33:50,330 --> 01:33:53,390
I want to get it over with. 
There's not really a lot of 

1632
01:33:53,390 --> 01:33:56,750
content left because it is a 
monthly manga, so it'll probably

1633
01:33:56,750 --> 01:33:58,670
take a while for there to be a 
season two. 

1634
01:33:59,150 --> 01:34:03,990
I think we covered like 70% of 
it in this season. 

1635
01:34:03,990 --> 01:34:07,950
So yeah, if you want to catch up
with it, it's a pretty quick 

1636
01:34:07,950 --> 01:34:14,310
read, but there's a lot of stuff
that they kind of adapted really

1637
01:34:14,310 --> 01:34:17,590
well in the anime where if you 
were to go back and rewatch it. 

1638
01:34:18,110 --> 01:34:21,070
You might be able to make some 
educated guesses at things that 

1639
01:34:21,070 --> 01:34:24,110
they don't tell you is what I'll
say, because if I literally if I

1640
01:34:24,110 --> 01:34:25,510
say anything more, it's a 
spoiler wrong. 

1641
01:34:26,550 --> 01:34:30,070
So I think that this show was 
just masterfully done. 

1642
01:34:30,070 --> 01:34:33,590
I think it's kind of like the 
besides Oshinoco. 

1643
01:34:33,710 --> 01:34:37,790
I think that this is, in my 
opinion, somewhat more of a 

1644
01:34:37,790 --> 01:34:42,630
breakout than Oshinoco, simply 
because Oshinoco, like Oshinoco,

1645
01:34:42,630 --> 01:34:44,110
is massive right now, don't get 
me wrong. 

1646
01:34:44,510 --> 01:34:46,190
But it was already a known 
quantity. 

1647
01:34:46,190 --> 01:34:49,750
Everybody knew it was going to 
blow up before, like when the 

1648
01:34:49,790 --> 01:34:52,150
anime was announced, everybody 
knew it was going to be popular.

1649
01:34:52,190 --> 01:34:54,350
Hell, we knew we knew it was 
going to be a popular anime 

1650
01:34:54,350 --> 01:34:55,910
before the adaptation was 
announced. 

1651
01:34:55,910 --> 01:34:58,470
You were like, when this gets 
adapted, it'll be fine. 

1652
01:34:58,470 --> 01:35:01,590
I mean, it's done by like, aka, 
you know, like it has cloud 

1653
01:35:01,590 --> 01:35:04,390
behind it, heavenly delusion. 
Like it was not as much of A 

1654
01:35:04,390 --> 01:35:06,910
known quantity. 
It was getting there through 

1655
01:35:06,910 --> 01:35:10,750
like sheer power of will and 
like some really interesting. 

1656
01:35:11,650 --> 01:35:15,890
Like graphical tricks in some of
the episodes, like just like the

1657
01:35:15,890 --> 01:35:21,250
use of sorry, just the use of 
like ignoring like boundary 

1658
01:35:21,250 --> 01:35:23,770
lines and stuff like that. 
It reminded me of fully Cooley 

1659
01:35:23,770 --> 01:35:25,490
at points with how they played 
around with it. 

1660
01:35:25,490 --> 01:35:28,210
I really enjoyed it. 
Sorry that was pretty long 

1661
01:35:28,210 --> 01:35:30,890
winded Miles, What do you think?
No, that's OK. 

1662
01:35:31,890 --> 01:35:35,250
It heavily delusion to such an 
interesting one for me because I

1663
01:35:35,250 --> 01:35:38,650
definitely did like it, but I I 
personally expected to like it 

1664
01:35:38,650 --> 01:35:41,440
more. 
And then I ended up liking it. 

1665
01:35:41,880 --> 01:35:46,080
Like, I I definitely fuck with 
it, but like on paper it it 

1666
01:35:46,080 --> 01:35:51,200
feels like the most up my alley 
thing of like all time. 

1667
01:35:51,200 --> 01:35:56,640
Like it's just got a lot of that
sort of like mysterious, vaguely

1668
01:35:56,640 --> 01:35:59,400
supernatural sort of vibe going 
on. 

1669
01:36:00,760 --> 01:36:03,960
And when I think about, I, I 
don't know, it's weird because I

1670
01:36:03,960 --> 01:36:06,000
can't like defend that position 
super well. 

1671
01:36:06,000 --> 01:36:09,650
Like I can't. 
Think of like, I just for 

1672
01:36:09,650 --> 01:36:11,730
whatever reason, it just didn't 
vibe with me. 

1673
01:36:11,850 --> 01:36:14,290
And that's that's the 
explanation. 

1674
01:36:16,250 --> 01:36:19,650
Like, that's all I got. 
Like Pete was saying that he 

1675
01:36:19,650 --> 01:36:21,930
thought it got stronger for me, 
just got like a little weaker 

1676
01:36:21,970 --> 01:36:27,690
for whatever reason. 
I don't know why, but I I still,

1677
01:36:27,690 --> 01:36:32,090
I mean, I really liked it. 
I thought the ending was pretty 

1678
01:36:32,090 --> 01:36:34,930
strong. 
I think there's a lot of things 

1679
01:36:34,930 --> 01:36:37,010
you can potentially gleam from 
that. 

1680
01:36:38,840 --> 01:36:41,360
I can say them because I don't 
know. 

1681
01:36:42,160 --> 01:36:44,600
You know, so like, I think like 
there's a pretty good chance 

1682
01:36:44,600 --> 01:36:48,360
that like Maru is like Tokyo's 
child or something like that, 

1683
01:36:50,120 --> 01:36:51,800
you know? 
And like, that's something that 

1684
01:36:51,880 --> 01:36:54,240
I think, like Jay was saying, 
like a lot of shows would just. 

1685
01:36:55,200 --> 01:36:57,600
Keep in mind Maru literally 
means circle. 

1686
01:36:59,080 --> 01:37:00,240
OK. 
OK. 

1687
01:37:00,680 --> 01:37:02,040
Yeah, that's right. 
OK, well. 

1688
01:37:03,600 --> 01:37:06,480
There we are, aren't we? 
Sorry, I mean quite spoiler I 

1689
01:37:06,480 --> 01:37:08,560
guess, but it does literally 
mean circle. 

1690
01:37:08,840 --> 01:37:12,440
True. 
And I I even know that. 

1691
01:37:12,440 --> 01:37:14,160
But I didn't think about it at 
all. 

1692
01:37:14,240 --> 01:37:20,800
Mimi Hemi means ear Princess, so
we really should have seen the 

1693
01:37:20,800 --> 01:37:23,280
ears coming. 
It checks out. 

1694
01:37:23,960 --> 01:37:26,480
Whenever I got to that point in 
the monger, I was like, I knew 

1695
01:37:26,480 --> 01:37:28,400
it. 
I felt so validated. 

1696
01:37:28,400 --> 01:37:29,840
I knew those were going to be 
ears. 

1697
01:37:34,660 --> 01:37:38,420
It's fun. 
I I think part of it might be 

1698
01:37:38,420 --> 01:37:41,300
that, like, I don't necessarily 
like the romantic angle between 

1699
01:37:41,300 --> 01:37:43,260
Kiriko and Maru for whatever 
reason. 

1700
01:37:44,660 --> 01:37:48,180
And I felt like a little 
validated for that after the 

1701
01:37:48,420 --> 01:37:51,380
assault scene, which I don't 
think itself was done 

1702
01:37:52,500 --> 01:37:54,420
completely, distastefully or 
anything. 

1703
01:37:54,420 --> 01:37:59,540
But like Maru choosing that 
point in time to confess felt a 

1704
01:37:59,540 --> 01:38:04,240
little weird to me, I guess. 
I don't know. 

1705
01:38:04,240 --> 01:38:05,800
I just I. 
Depended on him being like a 

1706
01:38:05,800 --> 01:38:09,080
stupid kid, but also it is like 
in a really awkward time. 

1707
01:38:09,960 --> 01:38:12,920
Yeah, yeah, I guess it's like 
it's tough. 

1708
01:38:12,920 --> 01:38:15,280
Because you're right, he is 
being a stupid kid. 

1709
01:38:15,280 --> 01:38:19,160
But then like, also. 
There are definitely points in 

1710
01:38:19,160 --> 01:38:23,130
the mango where I. 
After this where I just look at 

1711
01:38:23,130 --> 01:38:25,890
it and say that was actually 
just bad writing, so it could 

1712
01:38:25,890 --> 01:38:27,690
just be like a bad writing 
moment. 

1713
01:38:27,690 --> 01:38:31,690
Honestly it like it has those. 
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 

1714
01:38:32,290 --> 01:38:35,970
That was, it was just like, I 
don't know. 

1715
01:38:36,010 --> 01:38:38,610
And like Kiriko sort of seemed 
to bounce back a little fast. 

1716
01:38:38,610 --> 01:38:42,210
Like maybe she, she won't, but 
we like end with her being like,

1717
01:38:42,210 --> 01:38:44,530
well, gotta get over that thing 
that just happened and like 

1718
01:38:44,530 --> 01:38:49,050
driving away, you know? 
So I'm sure it'll be, like, 

1719
01:38:49,050 --> 01:38:50,850
addressed further, but like, 
that felt weird. 

1720
01:38:52,860 --> 01:38:54,660
It is. 
That aftermath of that scene 

1721
01:38:54,660 --> 01:39:01,660
felt a little weird to me, but I
mean overall, I'm definitely 

1722
01:39:01,660 --> 01:39:02,780
interested to see what'll 
happen. 

1723
01:39:02,780 --> 01:39:08,100
I imagine this will get a second
season OK, it's like it was 

1724
01:39:08,100 --> 01:39:11,620
definitely pretty popular and 
it's definitely very good and 

1725
01:39:11,620 --> 01:39:16,100
I'm excited to see what happens.
I really like the art. 

1726
01:39:16,100 --> 01:39:18,660
I really like the OP. 
It's like one of my favorite 

1727
01:39:18,700 --> 01:39:24,570
OP's of. 
The season and then there's a 

1728
01:39:24,570 --> 01:39:30,130
couple of the like kids that 
from heaven where like I'm I'm 

1729
01:39:30,130 --> 01:39:34,290
sort of excited to see where and
if they pop up like in the 

1730
01:39:34,290 --> 01:39:36,970
world. 
You would not be disappointed by

1731
01:39:36,970 --> 01:39:37,970
that. 
Yeah, that's, yeah. 

1732
01:39:38,010 --> 01:39:40,010
So like that's something that 
I'm definitely looking forward 

1733
01:39:40,010 --> 01:39:42,770
to. 
I think like, I don't know, I 

1734
01:39:42,770 --> 01:39:46,170
think it maybe is just like half
a step too weird for me or how 

1735
01:39:46,170 --> 01:39:50,250
like you know, Kiriko, you know,
or. 

1736
01:39:50,630 --> 01:39:56,470
You know, more accurately, like 
Haruki is like the scene that 

1737
01:39:56,470 --> 01:39:59,390
the episode like 3 or whatever 
was, like the mirror and like 

1738
01:39:59,390 --> 01:40:04,710
they were sibling, I don't know,
it was just weird, you know? 

1739
01:40:04,830 --> 01:40:08,350
So like, I think what prevents 
me from like fully committing to

1740
01:40:08,350 --> 01:40:10,790
this is that it's maybe just 
half a step too weird for me, 

1741
01:40:11,750 --> 01:40:14,220
which is. 
Which is fine, right? 

1742
01:40:14,300 --> 01:40:16,340
But like, I did really, really 
like it. 

1743
01:40:16,500 --> 01:40:19,220
So Pete, you want to take us to 
round up? 

1744
01:40:19,380 --> 01:40:23,420
Yeah, not too much to add. 
I do hope that I wish that Maru 

1745
01:40:23,420 --> 01:40:25,940
would turn down the Denji vibes 
just a little bit. 

1746
01:40:26,420 --> 01:40:29,580
I get that he's a teenager, but 
I think at some points that it 

1747
01:40:29,580 --> 01:40:33,660
was a little extra for me. 
But the show was beautifully 

1748
01:40:33,660 --> 01:40:36,300
animated. 
The adventure, the mystery was 

1749
01:40:36,300 --> 01:40:37,700
great. 
I'm gonna give this A9. 

1750
01:40:38,520 --> 01:40:41,760
Yeah, I don't really have too 
much to add either, except that 

1751
01:40:41,760 --> 01:40:45,760
I do love that Opie a lot, and I
think that like both visually 

1752
01:40:45,760 --> 01:40:48,440
and musically, it is an insanely
good Opie. 

1753
01:40:49,920 --> 01:40:51,880
Yeah, this is a nine out of 10 
for me too. 

1754
01:40:51,880 --> 01:40:53,440
I think people should read the 
manga. 

1755
01:40:53,520 --> 01:40:56,560
It's very good besides for some 
bad writing moments that I 

1756
01:40:56,560 --> 01:40:59,880
mentioned. 
Yeah, for me this is like an 8 

1757
01:40:59,880 --> 01:41:02,240
out of 10, but I definitely 
think it's something that if you

1758
01:41:02,240 --> 01:41:05,680
like, you know, mystery scifi 
sort of. 

1759
01:41:07,320 --> 01:41:09,720
Vaguely supernatural sort of 
jazz stuff. 

1760
01:41:09,720 --> 01:41:13,040
Like, give it a go. 
Just know that there are some 

1761
01:41:14,080 --> 01:41:18,880
heavy moments and some kind of 
weird things, but a lot of anime

1762
01:41:18,880 --> 01:41:23,520
fans deal with that just fine. 
And I don't like, I like the 

1763
01:41:23,520 --> 01:41:26,360
only major maru dingy vibe 
moment for me was when he was 

1764
01:41:26,360 --> 01:41:28,640
like, I'll solo a bear so I can 
touch boobs. 

1765
01:41:28,640 --> 01:41:31,920
Yeah, that's like the main one. 
Yeah, yeah. 

1766
01:41:34,110 --> 01:41:36,830
And then his like commitment to 
that bit was a bit much, but 

1767
01:41:36,830 --> 01:41:39,630
like, I don't know it. 
He is a dumb 15 year. 

1768
01:41:39,630 --> 01:41:45,630
Old Yeah, that's for sure. 
All right, so that was at 2 

1769
01:41:45,630 --> 01:41:47,430
nines and an 8 for Heavenly 
Delusion. 

1770
01:41:47,430 --> 01:41:50,110
Before we get to our last show, 
we do our speed round. 

1771
01:41:50,110 --> 01:41:51,550
It's every show that we didn't 
cover. 

1772
01:41:51,990 --> 01:41:54,710
We give each show allocated at 
up to a minute. 

1773
01:41:54,710 --> 01:41:57,710
You do less and just knock them 
out for that. 

1774
01:41:57,710 --> 01:42:00,430
So I will go first, my clues 
first, friend. 

1775
01:42:01,450 --> 01:42:05,690
Watching fun little elementary 
slash middle school romance. 

1776
01:42:05,930 --> 01:42:09,130
I wish they toned down the 
bowling aspect of this show. 

1777
01:42:09,130 --> 01:42:12,370
It was kind of like way too much
for what they were trying. 

1778
01:42:12,490 --> 01:42:15,570
I feel like what the message was
trying to send but so enjoyable.

1779
01:42:15,570 --> 01:42:19,530
Still super cute and fun. 
I gave it A7 too Cute crisis I 

1780
01:42:19,530 --> 01:42:22,490
had. 
This is me wishing I owned a 

1781
01:42:22,490 --> 01:42:23,810
pet. 
I wish I wasn't allergic to 

1782
01:42:23,810 --> 01:42:26,570
everything really. 
Just fun show about like the 

1783
01:42:26,570 --> 01:42:31,010
cuteness of owning cats or dogs 
or hamsters or porcupines. 

1784
01:42:32,160 --> 01:42:34,720
This is definitely a Peach show.
Not for everybody. 

1785
01:42:34,720 --> 01:42:40,280
The OP's a banger to something 
Big Bang or something like that.

1786
01:42:40,280 --> 01:42:43,720
Really fun to give it A7, my 
most underrated show of the 

1787
01:42:43,720 --> 01:42:47,960
season. 
Otaku elf, very eashiki style 

1788
01:42:47,960 --> 01:42:49,200
show. 
It was super fun. 

1789
01:42:49,200 --> 01:42:50,680
Miles, they'll they'll they'll 
do that. 

1790
01:42:51,040 --> 01:42:53,520
You're going to do it back to me
in like 2 minutes too, Don't 

1791
01:42:53,520 --> 01:42:54,840
worry. 
That's for sure. 

1792
01:42:55,040 --> 01:42:57,920
It was really fun. 
It's just like really. 

1793
01:42:58,650 --> 01:43:00,410
It centered a lot. 
Some of the episodes were 

1794
01:43:00,410 --> 01:43:04,250
centered around like food and 
just games and having fun and I 

1795
01:43:04,250 --> 01:43:05,410
like that. 
I like that. 

1796
01:43:05,410 --> 01:43:09,090
I like my slice of life so it's 
very relaxing style show. the VA

1797
01:43:09,090 --> 01:43:12,450
for the Elf was one of my 
favorite VA's this season. 

1798
01:43:13,170 --> 01:43:17,290
Just just a great show. 
I'm giving it an 8 Rokuko Bad 

1799
01:43:17,290 --> 01:43:22,370
Girls. 
It's the Insel MC dream where 

1800
01:43:22,370 --> 01:43:25,370
the ugliest kid in the class 
gets a Crest on his head and 

1801
01:43:25,770 --> 01:43:27,770
makes all the bad girls 
attracted to him. 

1802
01:43:28,140 --> 01:43:30,220
And then he instantly becomes 
cool. 

1803
01:43:30,820 --> 01:43:32,540
It was all right for the 
beginning. 

1804
01:43:32,540 --> 01:43:34,180
Towards the end, I was pretty 
sick of it. 

1805
01:43:34,180 --> 01:43:37,300
I'm not going to go too much 
into it, but I gave it A5, the 

1806
01:43:37,300 --> 01:43:39,500
reason why Ray Lena ended up at 
the Dukes Mansion. 

1807
01:43:39,500 --> 01:43:42,100
I thought I would like to show a
lot more, but I ended up kind of

1808
01:43:42,100 --> 01:43:45,020
being iffy. 
I like the MC and I like Noah, 

1809
01:43:45,020 --> 01:43:47,580
but everything else outside of 
that was pretty. 

1810
01:43:47,780 --> 01:43:49,900
Whatever. 
The magic stuff was weird too. 

1811
01:43:49,900 --> 01:43:52,500
When that got introduced. 
I'm going to give it a six and 

1812
01:43:52,500 --> 01:43:55,260
then the Kona Soupa spin off. 
I I read the manga. 

1813
01:43:56,060 --> 01:43:57,580
So I kind of knew what I was 
getting into. 

1814
01:43:58,900 --> 01:44:02,980
I just like the KOSU, but when 
they're full cast, more than 

1815
01:44:02,980 --> 01:44:06,340
this, Mega means fun. 
But 12 episodes of just Mega 

1816
01:44:06,340 --> 01:44:07,900
mean was a lot. 
I'm gonna give it a seven. 

1817
01:44:07,900 --> 01:44:10,540
It was still pretty fun though. 
Jay, you're up next. 

1818
01:44:11,940 --> 01:44:15,820
So quick thing for me just two 
of them Maho show Joe magical 

1819
01:44:15,820 --> 01:44:17,980
destroyers. 
I think people fucking slept on 

1820
01:44:17,980 --> 01:44:21,020
this shit. 
If you this is like. 

1821
01:44:21,710 --> 01:44:25,590
If you like Madoka Magica and 
like Evangelion and shit like 

1822
01:44:25,590 --> 01:44:27,590
that, I think you need to peep 
this. 

1823
01:44:27,590 --> 01:44:32,070
Like, yeah, it's comedic a lot 
of the time, but like the way 

1824
01:44:32,070 --> 01:44:36,030
what it develops into is truly 
more than the sum of its parts 

1825
01:44:36,270 --> 01:44:39,470
in my opinion. 
This is something that I gave an

1826
01:44:39,470 --> 01:44:42,670
8. 
It is currently sitting at a 6.4

1827
01:44:42,670 --> 01:44:45,430
amount and I think it deserves 
to be at least like a seven, 

1828
01:44:45,430 --> 01:44:47,990
maybe like a mid seven overall. 
Like I don't. 

1829
01:44:48,730 --> 01:44:51,810
I don't really understand why 
people weren't on this like 

1830
01:44:51,810 --> 01:44:53,650
that. 
I think it's it's pretty solid. 

1831
01:44:53,650 --> 01:44:57,330
Overall character designs are 
good, really good. 

1832
01:44:58,010 --> 01:45:01,330
OP and Ed as well, as well as 
just general soundtrack. 

1833
01:45:01,330 --> 01:45:04,570
Like if this OSD comes out on 
vinyl, I am buying that shit. 

1834
01:45:05,410 --> 01:45:11,090
And then the other one that I 
have was what was it? 

1835
01:45:11,890 --> 01:45:13,170
Sorry. 
Oh yeah, Ted Mountain Death 

1836
01:45:13,170 --> 01:45:14,810
Play. 
This is another one where I 

1837
01:45:14,810 --> 01:45:16,810
really enjoyed the manga quite a
bit. 

1838
01:45:17,170 --> 01:45:19,050
It's a bit. 
I wouldn't recommend it for 

1839
01:45:19,050 --> 01:45:22,410
everybody because it's 
definitely etchy at points and 

1840
01:45:22,450 --> 01:45:29,810
some of the characters can be, 
but it's still a Narita thing 

1841
01:45:29,810 --> 01:45:31,570
and I like everything Narita 
does. 

1842
01:45:31,570 --> 01:45:36,010
So like the the floor for like a
Narita project for me is like A7

1843
01:45:36,010 --> 01:45:38,890
and I think that this would be 
like a 7 1/2 for me. 

1844
01:45:38,890 --> 01:45:41,610
So I'm just gonna go ahead and 
give it like A7 for here. 

1845
01:45:42,530 --> 01:45:44,290
Miles, what about you? 
Yeah. 

1846
01:45:44,290 --> 01:45:46,690
So I also watched mega mean. 
I think I'm probably a little 

1847
01:45:46,690 --> 01:45:50,080
higher on it than. 
And Pete is mostly because it 

1848
01:45:50,080 --> 01:45:51,880
takes a lot of what I love in 
Konasuba. 

1849
01:45:51,880 --> 01:45:54,920
I agree that the full cast is 
wonderful, but I think Union and

1850
01:45:54,920 --> 01:45:58,960
Mega means Friendship is a lot 
of fun and sort of mimics real 

1851
01:45:58,960 --> 01:46:03,000
life friendships very well. 
And it the show itself drops a 

1852
01:46:03,000 --> 01:46:05,520
lot of the etchy that's in 
Konasuba. 

1853
01:46:05,800 --> 01:46:10,480
It's not free of it but there's 
nothing quite on that level of 

1854
01:46:10,480 --> 01:46:16,040
that succubus episode from 
episode one, you know, so. 

1855
01:46:16,630 --> 01:46:20,070
I I really enjoyed that. 
I gonna give that like an 8 I 

1856
01:46:20,070 --> 01:46:22,590
think. 
And I am putting myself on the 

1857
01:46:22,590 --> 01:46:25,710
timer. 
I have one minute Yuri is my job

1858
01:46:25,710 --> 01:46:27,950
is fucking amazing. 
Everyone should watch it. 

1859
01:46:28,070 --> 01:46:30,790
I gave it a nine out of 10. 
It's amazing. 

1860
01:46:31,190 --> 01:46:33,070
You might be thinking, oh miles,
you're wrong. 

1861
01:46:33,070 --> 01:46:37,270
Fuck you, you're wrong. 
It is like a really fun meta 

1862
01:46:37,270 --> 01:46:41,590
commentary on Yuri itself and 
the treatment of women in 

1863
01:46:41,590 --> 01:46:46,070
society. 
There is like multiple stages. 

1864
01:46:46,500 --> 01:46:50,100
Of how it's presented. 
So if you like meta stuff at 

1865
01:46:50,100 --> 01:46:52,100
all, go with it. 
They're literally putting on a 

1866
01:46:52,100 --> 01:46:54,900
play the entire time. 
Like the Opie starts with 

1867
01:46:54,900 --> 01:46:57,700
curtains opening. 
It's not meant to be serious and

1868
01:46:57,700 --> 01:47:00,780
they're that sort of like bleeds
into their real life and they're

1869
01:47:00,780 --> 01:47:03,180
worried about how the audience 
will perceive them if they do 

1870
01:47:03,180 --> 01:47:05,660
stuff. 
And so it's like a commentary on

1871
01:47:05,660 --> 01:47:09,420
like how your relationships and 
anime are not always allowed to 

1872
01:47:09,420 --> 01:47:11,820
go super far because people 
won't like that. 

1873
01:47:11,860 --> 01:47:14,730
The commitment and then. 
Oh, you're dressing too 

1874
01:47:14,730 --> 01:47:16,770
scandalous, even though you're 
comfortable with that. 

1875
01:47:16,970 --> 01:47:19,050
We can't have that because it'll
ruin the audience. 

1876
01:47:19,050 --> 01:47:21,290
Depression Yuri is my job. 
Watch it. 

1877
01:47:21,290 --> 01:47:23,690
Nine out of 1060 seconds. 
Nice. 

1878
01:47:23,690 --> 01:47:25,530
Love it. 
Yeah, I dropped that show after 

1879
01:47:25,530 --> 01:47:32,890
one episode. 
All right, so that was our speed

1880
01:47:32,890 --> 01:47:34,450
draw. 
Let's get to our last show that 

1881
01:47:34,450 --> 01:47:38,130
we are reviewing. 
Gundam the Witch from Mercury 

1882
01:47:38,130 --> 01:47:42,930
Season 2 left season one on an 
insane cliffhanger. 

1883
01:47:43,400 --> 01:47:49,720
And trying, I guess I really 
enjoyed the three month break in

1884
01:47:49,720 --> 01:47:54,560
between part one and Part 2 sort
of theorizing what the next part

1885
01:47:54,560 --> 01:47:57,200
of Gee which was going to do, 
which may have hindered it 

1886
01:47:57,200 --> 01:48:01,880
because I feel like they, I had 
a lot of expectations on how 

1887
01:48:01,880 --> 01:48:07,240
they're going to flesh out the 
story and it answered some, left

1888
01:48:07,240 --> 01:48:09,200
some on the table. 
And I think that's like the 

1889
01:48:09,200 --> 01:48:11,720
biggest issue with the second 
part, however. 

1890
01:48:12,590 --> 01:48:14,910
I think they answered the 
biggest questions. 

1891
01:48:14,910 --> 01:48:20,150
So it's like a like it's solid, 
but like we never, I don't know 

1892
01:48:20,150 --> 01:48:22,990
if we ever got like the 
brainwash thing that I, we kind 

1893
01:48:23,590 --> 01:48:26,390
of hypothesize was like a thing 
with like the happy birthday. 

1894
01:48:26,390 --> 01:48:28,510
I don't know if that was ever 
answered. 

1895
01:48:28,510 --> 01:48:32,550
I might have just missed it 
because I'm dumb, but I I I 

1896
01:48:32,550 --> 01:48:35,750
guess just when it was all said 
and done we got I I think we got

1897
01:48:35,750 --> 01:48:40,630
the ending that we wanted the 
happily ever after with soletta 

1898
01:48:40,910 --> 01:48:44,100
and mirroring. 
Throughout the story though, 

1899
01:48:45,940 --> 01:48:48,260
yeah, I think like the 
choreography with like the 

1900
01:48:48,260 --> 01:48:51,700
fights were great and sort of 
how they pieced together the 

1901
01:48:51,700 --> 01:48:55,900
Earth conflict with the Spaceans
was really well done. 

1902
01:48:55,900 --> 01:48:59,540
I I really enjoyed Part 2 of G 
which there was something 

1903
01:48:59,540 --> 01:49:03,500
missing though, to make me feel 
like I should elevate it to like

1904
01:49:03,860 --> 01:49:07,260
top three of the season. 
But I mean, just in general, 

1905
01:49:07,260 --> 01:49:10,500
this was a really great season 
of Gundam. 

1906
01:49:10,540 --> 01:49:13,520
Show your thoughts. 
Yeah, I really enjoyed the 

1907
01:49:13,520 --> 01:49:16,320
second season. 
Like I thought it was kind of 

1908
01:49:16,320 --> 01:49:20,880
heaters from back-to-back. 
I will say I think that this 

1909
01:49:20,880 --> 01:49:24,480
show suffered a lot from being 
like a 24 episode show and not 

1910
01:49:24,480 --> 01:49:28,000
like the normal like 50 episode 
Gundam show. 

1911
01:49:29,120 --> 01:49:33,400
The plot points towards the end 
are kind of rushed in my opinion

1912
01:49:33,920 --> 01:49:36,540
like. 
It would have been cool to have 

1913
01:49:36,540 --> 01:49:40,500
like another couple seasons with
them, like dealing with the 

1914
01:49:40,500 --> 01:49:43,300
Earth stuff rather than having 
like a flash forward. 

1915
01:49:43,780 --> 01:49:47,820
I'm glad that the gals got to 
have like a happy ending, like 

1916
01:49:47,820 --> 01:49:50,180
that's cool at all. 
Like, I'm glad it it kind of 

1917
01:49:50,180 --> 01:49:54,300
worked out for them, but I don't
know, I want it more. 

1918
01:49:54,300 --> 01:49:57,140
And it's also annoying that we 
don't really ever see them be 

1919
01:49:57,140 --> 01:49:59,580
physically affectionate or 
anything like that. 

1920
01:49:59,580 --> 01:50:02,460
Like the closest we get is them 
like banging their helmets 

1921
01:50:02,460 --> 01:50:08,310
together and shit like that. 
I don't know, like, I liked it a

1922
01:50:08,310 --> 01:50:12,070
lot, but there's some aspects of
it that kind of left a bad taste

1923
01:50:12,070 --> 01:50:16,150
in my mouth. 
And knowing that we're almost 

1924
01:50:17,070 --> 01:50:21,310
assuredly not ever going to get 
anymore doesn't really help me 

1925
01:50:21,310 --> 01:50:24,710
with that, unfortunately. 
Miles, what do you think? 

1926
01:50:25,710 --> 01:50:28,990
So I mean, OK, like, to put this
in perspective, I would wake up 

1927
01:50:28,990 --> 01:50:31,470
at 5:00 AM every week to watch 
this. 

1928
01:50:32,870 --> 01:50:35,270
I really. 
Really really really really 

1929
01:50:35,470 --> 01:50:39,230
really like this show. 
I have my little Suletta and 

1930
01:50:39,230 --> 01:50:43,670
miorine acrylic stand. 
Here are two gum plug that I 

1931
01:50:43,670 --> 01:50:49,990
just have in arm's reach. 
I have my one 100 sized aerial 

1932
01:50:50,310 --> 01:50:54,390
right there. 
I I really like it. 

1933
01:50:55,670 --> 01:51:01,430
I think the ending was like a 
little rushed, but I I I'm more 

1934
01:51:01,430 --> 01:51:03,310
of like it would have been nice 
if we had. 

1935
01:51:03,810 --> 01:51:07,010
One to two other episodes, just 
to give some scenes a little 

1936
01:51:07,010 --> 01:51:13,330
more time to breathe, more than 
necessarily dealing with the 

1937
01:51:13,890 --> 01:51:18,730
Earth space conflict. 
I think that not necessarily 

1938
01:51:19,010 --> 01:51:23,490
which for Mercury but more ad 
Stella at some point is almost 

1939
01:51:23,490 --> 01:51:26,490
assuredly going to happen. 
The aerial high grade is the 

1940
01:51:26,490 --> 01:51:30,930
highest selling gunplow of all 
time for its period of time. 

1941
01:51:31,090 --> 01:51:35,960
Like Bandai likes money. 
It it'll happen at some point. 

1942
01:51:37,200 --> 01:51:40,720
I think that they even leave 
some of those like threads open 

1943
01:51:41,120 --> 01:51:45,080
where like stuff, you know, it's
like they're working on it, but 

1944
01:51:45,080 --> 01:51:47,200
it's not perfect. 
There are protests going on. 

1945
01:51:47,200 --> 01:51:51,080
They talk about how the 
machinery and like the assets 

1946
01:51:51,080 --> 01:51:54,400
from the Bennett Group are being
sold to like random people and 

1947
01:51:54,400 --> 01:51:57,120
they're not exactly sure where 
all of that is going, you know? 

1948
01:51:57,120 --> 01:52:00,520
So you can always just Season 2 
hook that in if you want to. 

1949
01:52:03,260 --> 01:52:06,220
I I don't know. 
I just loved like every single 

1950
01:52:06,220 --> 01:52:10,620
second of all of this. 
I love Soletta. 

1951
01:52:10,620 --> 01:52:12,060
I think she's like a great 
character. 

1952
01:52:12,060 --> 01:52:17,620
I love that we had like a final 
confrontation and a show like 

1953
01:52:17,620 --> 01:52:21,540
this where it was entirely 
verbal, where it was just like 

1954
01:52:22,140 --> 01:52:26,020
her. 
The climax is literally her 

1955
01:52:26,300 --> 01:52:29,860
telling her mom no. 
And like, that's neat to me. 

1956
01:52:31,140 --> 01:52:32,780
I think that's that's really 
cool. 

1957
01:52:32,780 --> 01:52:35,020
You know, like, I think big 
fights are awesome and we got 

1958
01:52:35,020 --> 01:52:39,340
some earlier in the season. 
But to meet you, it's just such 

1959
01:52:39,340 --> 01:52:43,340
like a deep personal story, 
which is a little bit different 

1960
01:52:43,340 --> 01:52:46,060
from other Gundams where you 
normally have this, you know, 

1961
01:52:46,060 --> 01:52:51,020
like a massive war going on and 
there's like 75 factions. 

1962
01:52:51,300 --> 01:52:55,380
And while you have some of that 
there, the main focus on this is

1963
01:52:55,940 --> 01:52:58,460
Soletta's relationship with 
Mereen and Soletta's 

1964
01:52:58,460 --> 01:53:02,450
relationship with her mom. 
And how she manages to like 

1965
01:53:02,730 --> 01:53:04,970
overcome that and like become 
her own person. 

1966
01:53:08,530 --> 01:53:13,170
I think that I I don't know, I I
just liked everything about it. 

1967
01:53:13,170 --> 01:53:16,530
I think that while I would have 
loved like a kiss scene Jay, we 

1968
01:53:16,530 --> 01:53:18,890
do see them like kind of cuddle 
together and hold hands at the 

1969
01:53:18,890 --> 01:53:22,930
end. 
And I don't know if it's copia 

1970
01:53:22,930 --> 01:53:28,010
like Gundam main couples don't 
kiss very often like just in the

1971
01:53:28,010 --> 01:53:29,610
show like that just doesn't 
happen. 

1972
01:53:32,100 --> 01:53:36,020
Which is like, I guess a little 
bit weird for me, but like it, 

1973
01:53:36,060 --> 01:53:37,820
it's just, I don't know. 
It's not something that 

1974
01:53:38,500 --> 01:53:41,860
historically has happened with 
them, though Mika did bang 

1975
01:53:41,860 --> 01:53:44,340
what's her name in the Barbados.
We didn't get a scene for it 

1976
01:53:44,340 --> 01:53:48,980
though, but I don't know, I was 
happy. 

1977
01:53:48,980 --> 01:53:51,940
I was happy that they destroyed 
the weapon of mass destruction 

1978
01:53:52,340 --> 01:53:55,740
through permit level gay like. 
I thought that was exciting 

1979
01:53:56,020 --> 01:53:57,900
like. 
I had a great. 

1980
01:53:58,260 --> 01:54:03,900
Time. 
Yeah, literally it was it was 

1981
01:54:03,900 --> 01:54:04,460
great. 
I don't know. 

1982
01:54:04,460 --> 01:54:06,660
It's it's one of my favorite 
shows of all time. 

1983
01:54:07,300 --> 01:54:09,140
We can move it to the wrap up 
for sure. 

1984
01:54:09,340 --> 01:54:11,220
Yep. 
Yeah, Suletto is probably my 

1985
01:54:11,220 --> 01:54:13,660
favorite female character of the
season. 

1986
01:54:13,820 --> 01:54:15,940
Ghoul is probably my favorite 
supporting character of the 

1987
01:54:15,940 --> 01:54:18,260
season. 
And that says a lot, because I 

1988
01:54:18,260 --> 01:54:23,980
think overall this season of 
anime is probably like top three

1989
01:54:23,980 --> 01:54:25,500
all time. 
For me, it was just an 

1990
01:54:25,500 --> 01:54:29,270
incredible season. 
Red Birthmark was just an 

1991
01:54:29,270 --> 01:54:31,790
incredible way to end each 
episode. 

1992
01:54:32,510 --> 01:54:34,510
I I just wish some of the 
questions that are left on the 

1993
01:54:34,510 --> 01:54:36,430
table were answered. 
That's my only complaint. 

1994
01:54:36,430 --> 01:54:41,550
Otherwise, I loved it. 
I loved to let A mereen. 

1995
01:54:41,550 --> 01:54:44,390
You know we we see the ending. 
It's funny that Erie is a 

1996
01:54:44,390 --> 01:54:45,950
keychain now. 
I don't know. 

1997
01:54:45,950 --> 01:54:49,030
That's kind of whatever, but 
like, it's fine. 

1998
01:54:49,310 --> 01:54:51,670
Yeah, we'll get this at 9:00. 
I really like G Witch. 

1999
01:54:54,510 --> 01:54:59,510
Yeah. 
I'm still positive on this, 

2000
01:54:59,510 --> 01:55:01,270
don't get me wrong. 
I just think it really could 

2001
01:55:01,270 --> 01:55:04,030
have, like, it's similar to like
Yamatokun where it really could 

2002
01:55:04,030 --> 01:55:08,310
have used more in my opinion, 
like even just like, I don't 

2003
01:55:08,310 --> 01:55:10,910
know, like another core or 
season or something doing it 

2004
01:55:10,910 --> 01:55:14,670
like Jojo's style, 36 episodes. 
Like I feel like we would have 

2005
01:55:14,670 --> 01:55:19,310
been able to get so much more 
out of that, like seeing like 

2006
01:55:19,470 --> 01:55:21,830
Shattuck. 
Being like, Oh yeah man, I'm 

2007
01:55:21,830 --> 01:55:24,190
just gonna time for me to go 
make up for all that. 

2008
01:55:24,190 --> 01:55:28,270
And then we just don't ever 
really see like how any like all

2009
01:55:28,270 --> 01:55:31,470
we ever do is see him like being
talked to by people we don't 

2010
01:55:31,470 --> 01:55:33,710
ever see like how they're 
actually going to punish him or 

2011
01:55:33,710 --> 01:55:39,150
anything like that. 
Like Ella both the Ellen's like,

2012
01:55:39,150 --> 01:55:41,270
I would love to see more of what
they're up to. 

2013
01:55:41,270 --> 01:55:45,150
Like what is the fucking Ellen 0
going to be up to. 

2014
01:55:45,720 --> 01:55:49,120
Do people on earth who see Ellen
5 wandering around just randomly

2015
01:55:49,120 --> 01:55:53,240
think they're seeing space Bezos
going on an adventure? 

2016
01:55:53,640 --> 01:55:57,560
Like, I don't know man, there 
was so much that they could have

2017
01:55:57,560 --> 01:55:59,560
had. 
And I do agree that bet like 

2018
01:55:59,720 --> 01:56:02,280
more than anything Bamco loves 
money. 

2019
01:56:02,640 --> 01:56:05,440
God, they fucking love money and
that's all. 

2020
01:56:05,440 --> 01:56:09,000
Like Gundam really is, is a 
money making pit for them and 

2021
01:56:09,000 --> 01:56:11,920
I'm thankful for it. 
Don't get me wrong, but. 

2022
01:56:12,840 --> 01:56:14,520
I don't know. 
I just see them moving on after 

2023
01:56:14,520 --> 01:56:15,640
this. 
Like, I think even if we get 

2024
01:56:15,640 --> 01:56:18,800
more ad Stella stuff, we it's 
not going to be with the people 

2025
01:56:18,800 --> 01:56:22,520
we know and love, you know? 
I don't know. 

2026
01:56:22,640 --> 01:56:24,480
That's just kind. 
Of I think, I think. 

2027
01:56:24,640 --> 01:56:30,120
They'll say, yeah, OK, I can see
like us getting Miorine and 

2028
01:56:30,120 --> 01:56:34,560
Soleta to show up like during a 
movie or something kind of like 

2029
01:56:34,560 --> 01:56:38,960
with what happens with Shar and 
Amaro at points like where 

2030
01:56:38,960 --> 01:56:41,240
they're they've been in the 
background for like years at 

2031
01:56:41,240 --> 01:56:44,680
that point and they show up. 
But like, I don't know. 

2032
01:56:45,440 --> 01:56:52,080
Overall for me though this is, 
it's closer to like an 8.5, but 

2033
01:56:52,080 --> 01:56:53,920
I'm going to go ahead and give 
this a nine out of 10 cuz I 

2034
01:56:53,920 --> 01:56:56,160
really did enjoy the second 
season quite a bit. 

2035
01:56:56,360 --> 01:57:00,360
So yeah, yeah Miles, give us 
your 10 out of 10 review please.

2036
01:57:00,720 --> 01:57:03,480
Yeah. 
So like, Gee, which holds like a

2037
01:57:03,480 --> 01:57:07,920
very special place in my heart. 
I do understand. 

2038
01:57:07,920 --> 01:57:10,800
Like, I think, like its biggest 
flaw is that. 

2039
01:57:11,240 --> 01:57:16,840
It it leaves people wanting more
in a way that it given it's like

2040
01:57:16,840 --> 01:57:21,640
run it couldn't like develop 
right And I I completely get 

2041
01:57:21,640 --> 01:57:26,160
that and I understand that. 
But for me the main attraction 

2042
01:57:26,160 --> 01:57:30,480
to it was always soletta and 
mirroring story and like her 

2043
01:57:30,480 --> 01:57:34,720
personal development and 
everything and I think that was 

2044
01:57:34,720 --> 01:57:39,400
just done so well I think when 
you. 

2045
01:57:40,330 --> 01:57:42,250
Like, I think a lot of stuff is 
like, like, I think it does 

2046
01:57:42,250 --> 01:57:44,530
show, not tell. 
And like a really good way, too.

2047
01:57:44,530 --> 01:57:47,690
Like we were talking about this 
earlier, like there were people 

2048
01:57:49,050 --> 01:57:52,770
guessing like the aerial thing 
with it being airy and just 

2049
01:57:52,770 --> 01:57:56,450
based off of the date that the 
first episode took place. 

2050
01:57:58,490 --> 01:58:01,330
You know, like, wait a minute, 
So it is not 23. 

2051
01:58:01,610 --> 01:58:05,050
I bet she's a clone like that. 
There's people who said that, 

2052
01:58:05,050 --> 01:58:08,490
which is a insane. 
So it is doing the me old meme 

2053
01:58:08,650 --> 01:58:13,670
show. 
Yeah, that's some people are 

2054
01:58:13,670 --> 01:58:15,910
like, you're crazy. 
She's just lying about her age 

2055
01:58:15,910 --> 01:58:19,430
for some reason and it's like, I
guess that's more plausible. 

2056
01:58:19,430 --> 01:58:25,110
But that wasn't the case, you 
know, I think, I don't know. 

2057
01:58:25,310 --> 01:58:27,830
This is a 10 out of 10 for me. 
I fucking love this series. 

2058
01:58:28,590 --> 01:58:30,110
I have faith that we'll get 
more. 

2059
01:58:30,470 --> 01:58:33,120
I think that. 
If we get more, it won't focus 

2060
01:58:33,120 --> 01:58:35,520
on Mereen and Soletta. 
Like, I just want them to be 

2061
01:58:35,520 --> 01:58:38,040
able to retire and have fun and 
maybe show up in the background 

2062
01:58:38,040 --> 01:58:42,160
and mentor some people or 
something, and then we can focus

2063
01:58:42,160 --> 01:58:48,520
on that Earth conflict going on 
in the future. 

2064
01:58:48,520 --> 01:58:53,400
That's sort of the formula that 
Gundam's done recently, right? 

2065
01:58:53,400 --> 01:58:55,840
Like if you look at the first 
season of IBO, that wraps up 

2066
01:58:55,840 --> 01:58:57,240
completely. 
If you look at the first season 

2067
01:58:57,240 --> 01:59:00,920
of 00, that wraps up completely.
And then. 

2068
01:59:01,730 --> 01:59:06,730
Whatever happened from there you
get the effects of so you know I

2069
01:59:06,730 --> 01:59:10,010
don't know been caught bando 
they love money. 

2070
01:59:10,170 --> 01:59:13,050
So I I I imagine we'll see more 
at some point but if not I'm 

2071
01:59:13,050 --> 01:59:16,290
super happy with what we got and
I'm glad that I got to spend my 

2072
01:59:16,290 --> 01:59:17,770
time with it. 
So 10 out 10 for me. 

2073
01:59:17,930 --> 01:59:21,730
Right on 2 nines and A10. 
And that wraps up our spring 

2074
01:59:21,730 --> 01:59:25,130
review of what a powerhouse 
season this was and if you have 

2075
01:59:25,130 --> 01:59:27,010
made this far you want to 
support us the best way to do so

2076
01:59:27,130 --> 01:59:29,130
Like comma subscribe, leave a 
review on whatever platform you 

2077
01:59:29,130 --> 01:59:31,130
are watching and or listening to
us on. 

2078
01:59:31,690 --> 01:59:33,970
Next week we'll be watch Club 
for Golden Boy. 

2079
01:59:34,010 --> 01:59:36,290
Otherwise, if you're here for 
some more seasonal content in 

2080
01:59:36,290 --> 01:59:39,770
two weeks, we will be giving our
summer first impressions. 

2081
01:59:40,210 --> 01:59:42,770
We'll say thank you and we will 
see you next time. 

2082
01:59:43,410 --> 01:59:43,610
Peace.
