I Salem. That's fine. Fuck you. I need these to read anyway. Yeah, I can't. It's almost like we need our glasses. Yeah, and yeah, you wear sunglasses the whole fucking. I'm nearsighted, so you're sighted or first sighted. Nearsighted is when you can see things close but not far away. I can't tell which one I am. I know that I probably need glasses, but I don't know. Yeah, I feel like this has been an ongoing conversation we've had for like three years where you're like, I need glasses. And I go, go get them. And you're like, I ain't got money. Like, nah, don't be too tired. Nah, I'll be fine, my eyes still work. I'm too tired. I'm not. Too tired. Yeah. Alright. I've actually been recording for 50 seconds. I was gonna put this in.

Despite it being like a million degrees in here. As long as we run ourselves, we can get through anything, right, boys? Are you talking again? Yes. I don't I don't think we have the budget for that. We don't got the budget. We don't have a budget. You're telling me this is completely unfunded. Correct. I'm fucking out of here. This is on my two cents. Alright. So welcome to Isano's Denabutakus.

Anyway. I'm sorry. What was that? Sorry, you're breaking up. Salem. Salim. Salim's okay. I'll accept that. You're very Indian from the side. What's the name of the sandworm? I forgot I was gonna call you that from now on. Oh, from doom sandworm. Yeah, the sandworm. The Al Khalib. No, that's no, that's a trade. I'll just call you the Benny Jesseret for now. Okay. Sure. You look like a Benny Jesser. I mean, they're basically witches. Salem was a w witch town. No, it it all comes back together. Oh yeah. It's all comes back together. It's like one piece. Back on. We we come back to it. Precious eyes. Okay. Okay. You put on these fucking oak leys guys. Those aren't oak. Are they oakleys? They look like oakleys to me. No, they're there's like a I just I bought them for the vibe. That's why I bought them. You ever you guys ever heard of Oliver Tree? That's an Oliver Tree. Okay. Does it grow Olivers? How'd you know? No, he I'm pretty smart. He reminds me of this guy. Oh. What the fu Whack ass haircut. Right here. Dude, motherfucker got the bowl cut. I found my next pair of sunglasses to buy. I don't think they're Oakley's. I don't know what he's wearing. Like, look up white oakley's and you'll see what I mean. They're not oakley. White oak. How do you spell Oakley? L-E-Y-S. There we go. There you go, good enough. Yeah, those aren't those aren't Oakley. I mean, they kind of look like this, except his aren't white. Yeah, but the the left picture. Oakley Crankshaf sunglasses, my favorite. Oakley crankshaf. Oh dude, they're on eBay and in stock. Alright. Okay, I'll look that up later. Thank you. Alright, so uh today today. We took a break. We took so we took a break. One because uh Salem was not feeling 100, as my uh as my people say. No, I don't think I don't think you're part of those ones. No, you're a different I'm a different minority. Oh, I do I have a Coke. Yeah, but you're not a child. It's in a bottle. Is the Mello in your fridge or not? I don't have Mellos, but I have a Coke glass bottle. If he says yes, are you gonna check? I have Corona in there. Okay. Okay, Corona close enough. But I don't drink. That's like the white, white people version of like the Mexican beer. Yeah, I can't handle Modello, but give me a Corona. I feel like the guy that we we used to know that was a supervisor, Corona. Oh, he definitely drank Corona. I mean, I know he likes bush bush lattes, but Corona. Is he whiter than me? No. I don't know. The guy we're thinking of? Yeah. Absolutely. Is he whiter than me? Which guy are you you're thinking of a different guy? I'm thinking of Luis. Yeah, not Luis. Uh I never called my his first name. I can't remember it. It starts with an I, Isaiah. Oh, Isaiah? Yeah. Homeboy. Yeah. He once gave me a ride in his really shitty car when I was in after-school program. You should ride in Salem's car sometime. Look, look, okay. It's my partner. No matter how beat up it gets, I'll get the ship of thesis or whatever it's called. Ship of Theseus. Alright. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. We've uh we spent five minutes. Hopefully people are still around. So this is uh this is an Otaku podcast or an anime podcast. Uh we talk about nerdy shit though, too. So we could bring up magic, we could bring up whatever. We got rid of all those fake listeners. Yeah. Filtered, exactly. Uh get them out. Dark Souls, um, get good. All right. No one plays dark. We play Elden Ring. As a Dark Souls fan, okay. I'll have you know. Where's your Dark Magician girl? I wanted to start at home. I wanted to start with Demon Souls on PS3, so that's what I've been kind of doing. Why wouldn't you just play it on the PS3? Was it PS3 or wasn't only PS3, yeah? Yep. Exclusive. I thought it was PS3. Correct. The PS5 remake is not by from Software. And it's also an exclusive on the PS5. Yep. Alright, so I have some news stories to bring you. This is between the dates of 511 and 518 from when uh the Benny Gesserit was gone. Um apparently stop calling me that. I'll look up the name of the sandworm to get your actual nickname. Okay. Thank you, Sher. So uh Adult Swim's been threatening us with a Rick and Morty anime for a good while now. What do you like? I would watch it. They even did a Rick and Morty kind of anime special bumper special once. Um I watched it. I didn't I wasn't too like hyped up about the names, but I mean the voices, but I mean, because I feel like Rick and Morty is too American to translate to an anime. You know what I mean? The the question of the power of America through Rick and Morty. The question I have is who is this for? Is this for all the weebs? Is this for the audience that watches Rick and Morty and enjoys it? I mean that guy who went or is this for like Japanese people that don't watch Rick and Morty? I'm like, Japanese people would watch it. They could just sub the damn thing and have it over in public at this point. Then I'm baffled to wonder why they do have what, seven seven seasons? Yeah, I've shown you guys the boondocks uh when they dubbed that. Yeah, yeah, you did. The boondocks dubbed in Japanese. That's pretty good. That's a good one. Um but that yeah, like no, the Rick and Morty could be dubbed in Japanese by itself. We don't need a Rick and Morty anime, in my opinion. Heard someone that got a like a sneak preview on this. They said it's like completely different from the original show. So it's it's a different story. So do you think this is like an alternate universe, Rick and Morty? This isn't the main Rick. They could easily tie that into it being Rick's. The only way versus whatever. The only way this is watchable for me would be if the different universe regular cartoon Rick and Morty come in from a different portal and go, what the fuck is this shit? They could make a cameo. They I mean they probably will. That's gotta be in the books somewhere. I I didn't I don't I didn't have any more in information other than like this is like rumored, they're moving forward. There's like no studio, no names. I don't know if those reprising a uh Japanese voice actors will come back and do it from that original bumper anime, but sidebar. Uh-huh. Uh we all know how Justin Royland got into trouble too. Correct. Did didn't he get cleared of that? No. Can you look up Justin Royland real quick? Because I'm maybe I dreamt that for some reason. Justin Royland. What was the problem he got into? Cleared of charges. Some sexual assault stuff, I think. Okay. Well. You know, pretty classic. Yeah. Yeah, it still got dismissed. This was the thing, like, I've heard a lot of people still talking shit on Justin Royland, and it's like, this is kind of what happens when that kind of stuff happens, but the charges get dismissed. But apparently he wasn't doing a lot of writing or like producing recently. Like in the last few seasons for Rick and Morty anyway. Didn't they they came out with a new season without Justin Royland, right? Correct. I mean, well Did you watch it? Yes. I watched the first few episodes without uh Justin Royland doing Rick and Morty. The Rick was spot on. The Morty, once you're like in episode five, it almost sounds one-to-one like the old ri the old Morty. So you kind of just it you get over it. Okay. I mean, fair enough. Um It was it was weird. Like, I mean, but yeah, like he also had like another show, Solar Opposites. That one did a funnier thing than like recast the voice. All they did, because it was um these two there's like four aliens, they go to Earth, blah blah blah. So what they did in the that one, Solar Opposites to change the voice, is they just hit him in the throat. They got a different voice. They got like a different voice. That's pretty funny, actually. Yeah, they like shot him with like a voice ray or something. Oh my fucking and then it was like a British guy's like, I can't believe you done this. Yo, get get the voice of Jack Atlas from Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds in there. I need a Cockney brand. Yo, another side, another sidebar. Yeah. Um, while I was at home today, I was you you remember how we were watching those live duels. You will never guess who they had. I think it was 2021. Jack Atlas was one of them. Do you want to take a random shot in the dark at the other one? Was it possibly Kaiba? You wish it was Kaiba. Fucking hell. Who was it though? It is a small side character from Yu-Gi-Oh Archvey. Do you want to take a guess again with this information? There's a few small side characters. What was it fucking uh was it the Cardian guy? No, you know who it was? Gong Strong, the super heavy samurai player. Why him? It was pretty entertaining, I'm not gonna lie. Dude, that dude is good. Like, if we have time later, I'm gonna show you that video just because that man is fucking killing it on that voice. As much as like I would hate it watching it, like watching it in the anime, because I think I watched that all in Japanese. Well, that would be the problem, too, is like I don't even know what he sounds like in the dub. Oh, it's great. We're we're gonna watch it later. Don't worry. Oh, I won't argue. All right, good. Sorry, sidebar, my bad. Yu-Gi-Oh! tangent over for now. You're good. I was depositing my check. We gotta get the check deposited so we can get that air conditioned. Okay, so let's move on. Uh we watched the Spider-Verse movies. We enjoyed. We did. Oh, we're all oh oh, we're doing the thing. We're doing the thing. We're doing the meme. Anyways. Uh Nicolas Cage, gonna be starting in uh Spider-Man Noir live action. That sounds fantastic, actually. For Amazon. Did that change your mind? It might okay. So it might change my mind. Or like a few months ago, I might have been like, oh fuck Amazon. But they did they did good work with that Fallout show. I can't be mad. I mean, I've been telling you guys that The Boys is a good show. Yeah, I want to watch The Boys at some point. Uh Invincible's a good one. Don't care. Sorry. Can't like after all the like I saw all of it before I ever watched it, and that usually like kills my interest. Fair enough. I I know what happens in Invincible. Uh I only care about the cannibalism shit uh and Battle Beast. That's all I care about. Uh so like I have a little bit of faith, but I mean this could be uh like a Netflix One Piece versus a Netflix uh cowboy beat where it's like one show's fine and pretty close to the source material and the other one's not so steaming pile of garbage. Yeah. So sure, we can check it out. Is it gonna be a show or a movie? It's gonna be a sh a live action show. It'll probably be like the standard eight episodes for like 50 to 60 minutes. Um it's starring Nick Cage himself, though. Okay, another thing, if it's episodic, I'd be more into it, but if it's gonna like have an overarching plot, I don't know if I'll care. Okay. Hey, this'll be his return to being a superhero after that god-awful flash cameo he did. And then af uh prior to that, he was also the Marvel superhero Ghost Rider. You guys remember that? Oh, of course I remember Ghost Rider. Unironically kind of enjoy those movies. Like the first one. Oh, yeah. No, I did too. Ghost Rider was a banger. Not not saying it sticks anywhere close to like the the comics, but kind of unironically enjoyed it. It was fun seeing Nick Cage freak out when he's transforming. I gotta kick it. Also, Ava Mendez is still hot. I don't care what to say. In the comic books, I don't know if you guys were aware. Is it Ava Mendez in the comic book? No, unfortunately. In the comic books, uh Frank Castle dies, aka the Punisher, and then he gets resurrected and becomes the cosmic ghostwriter. I'm not surprised, to be honest with you. It's weird. I I heard people talk about before like uh ghostwriter using his ability on the Punisher, and like he it didn't affect him at all. I don't know that storyline. I think that's a good thing. That would be cool to read that part. That sounds entirely plausible. There was a there was a crossover between the Punisher and Eminem comic book. I can take I can tell you that. This was during the Slim Shady period. Sorry, Eminem has a comic book. Jose, what are you talking about? Hold on. I want I want you guys to witness this. Slim Shady the Punisher. I yes, SLM Shady, my favorite, right? Yep. Uh that's not real. That can't be real. What the fuck? Oh, they made it. Oh my lord. I just want the fucking picture. Is it is that like live action Eminem standing next to the Punisher? Yeah, it's like, here you go. Okay. Okay. I mean Sorry. Uh kinda hope it so kinda hope kinda hope they would sound good too. Don't know what that means. Here's a here's a shot of the Punisher. Just Dude, these faces Eminem's mate, it's killing me. I I love it. Here's Eminem with the chainsaw. Here's Eminem. Yo, MM The Punisher crossover. Oh, excuse me. Double XL Marvel collab. This is yeah. This is in case you didn't know. Um that's our Marvel talk. No, we have another thing for Marvel. The uh about how they're uh rebranding their television. Did you know that Agatha show, the the one I pulled up earlier before we started recording? Sure. Uh is she like in Shield or something? No, she was the witch that was kind of I watched I watched one. She the witch in the um WandaVision. Yeah, that's the one. Correct. I'm sorry, there's another witch in WandaVision. No, she was the one that was kind of uh she was the one that was kind of pulling the strings and kind of keeping uh Wanda. Is she like a another is it is it another Scarlet Witch? No, she's like an old witch. Something look that look, WandaVision was not a good show. I did not enjoy it very much, and I'm you know, I'm me. So the fact that I was also bored the fuck out of my mind. Right. Um, but apparently they gave her a spin-off right after that show aired. By the way, that show aired like in 2021 or something. Yeah. Um, this this show, Agatha all along, is the final name, but I just want you guys to know that it uh it had a bunch of names. Um all Live Die Repeat Agatha. No names. So uh Live Die Agatha Repeat. What? Oh uh Wake, Eat, Game, Sleep Repeat how it goes. Yeah, well, you know better. Yeah, apparently like the title was the language with the great wardrobe. What an amazing title that hurt her that hurt me to repeat. Good thing they didn't go with that one. Yeah. Um, let's see. Oh yeah, Aubrey Plaza is gonna be in this show, though. Is this on is this a Netflix joy? It'll be a Disney Plus thing. I mean, I like Aubrey Plaza. It's been a long time since Parks and Rick. Yeah, it truly has. Um, she had a couple of names. Um, let's see. Uh it was like an agate. You know what? I don't care enough for to look at it. Perfect. But apparently, so I don't know if you guys remember they did the Marvel What If shows. That was like uh the Marvel What If were also comic books, and they used to be like, hey, what if um Spider-Man became the cosmic crusader or something like that? There's like what if Punisher killed the entire fucking Avengers. The Deadpool kills the universe, Punisher kills the universe, uh, Eminem kills the Marvel Universe. So it's stuff like that. They did a what if show and it was an animated show. I didn't care to watch it because the animation looked kind of ass. The only thing I'll say is I watched the uh Cinema Sins or it might have been TV Sins now that I think about it, like he reviewed the what if and it looked pretty bad. Yeah, but I will say the Marvel X-Men one has looked pretty good. So they were still branding that Marvel What If under the Marvel Studios banner, but now because of the success of the X-Men show, they're rebranding it to Marvel Animation. So now you got Marvel Studios, which will be the like big movie stuff. The Agatha TV show or all Marvel TV shows will probably be under like Marvel Television and then like Marvel Animation. So like they're trying to different like branded sections of things. Yeah, because they were originally just doing like Marvel Studios, and then everybody's like, Well, do I have to read this mm Punisher crossover? I don't want to, so it's like, yeah, people were starting to dip out. The the downfall of Marvel Studios needs to be studied. Yeah, because even like you know, I started watching with Iron Man back in 2008. I even watched that Edward Norton Hulk movie, dude. And I unironically, I like it. I think the original Iron Man Norton would have been the better one. But he was a problem, though. No, Edward Norton's kind of. Yeah, Edward Norton is a problem. Probably why he plays the villain in every movie. Okay, what were you gonna say? Oh, I was just gonna say, like, I started watching these movies with the original Iron Man, too. Like, I went to go see that in theaters. Yeah. It was great. Same here. I still own that damn thing. Do you guys remember that year was the year for Batman the Dark Knight? So like everybody was like, oh, Iron Man was good, but did you watch the Dark Knight? Superhero movies were popping off. That was the b birth of the MCU. And yeah, like after Endgame, a lot of people pop like just stopped. I kept I kept trying to go. We even watched it. We watched Doctor Strange and the multiverse. We watched Thor. That's the second one, right? Yeah, no, which one? Doctor Strange. Multiverse. Yeah, that's the first one. Multiverse of madness. I always think that's the third one, and I don't know why. I don't blame you, man. He showed up in like a bunch of people's movies because he showed up in Spy, he was like a supporting character in Spider-Man. He's like the second highest built uh cast member in that. So yeah. I mean, I liked Benedict Cumberpetch's like portrayal of Doctor Strange. I haven't read any of the comics, so I don't know how accurate it is to those. Right. I think he did a great job. Like Multiverse of Madness wasn't the best Marvel movie I've ever seen. It was still like a six, maybe a seven on a good day. But it was it was better than like Thor 4, which by the way, we need to go watch Periosa. Oh, Thor. Um, I got roped into watching the original Doctor Strange, I think like a year or two back with a friend of mine. That movie was fucking good. Yeah, that movie pops off. Yeah, that movie goes. And then it does. I watched a video analysis of uh multiverse of madness, and I'm like, oh, I see. Yeah, but one of my favorite memes came out of it. So it's just Professor Xavier like pointing a finger like swerve when that shit happened, because I was not expecting that. Yeah, dude. I thought like, oh, we're merging motherfucking Jim is Mr. Fantastic over here. Yeah, and then he became spaghetti. Oh, did you guys hear? I don't know if you guys heard, because you guys don't care about comic books. That's correct. Um Pedro Pascal is the new Fantastic for Mr. Fantastic. Pedro Pascal is Pedro Pascal. That's isn't he short? Isn't he a little quirk king? I don't know. Yo, give me the height on Pedro Pascal. Pedro Pascal. I feel I don't know why, but I always feel like Reed Richards is a tall guy. Yeah. Okay, so he's like average height. Mr. Fantastic. Yeah, I mean, I guess that'd be fine. But I know what you mean though, Sherm. Like when I think of Reed Richards, I do think of like a taller. Motherfucking tall man. I mean, he is made of rubber, so six foot one. I mean Yeah, it is close. Like we're close enough. That's just that's just a me thing, like where I think Pedro Pascal scale is tinier than he is. Well, at least he's not Kendrick's size. Nope, we're not doing this. He still blew him out of the water. Okay, let's move on. Um, so yeah, Nicolas Cage, live action show. But Spider-Man, if you guys were unaware, is technically a Sony property, which is why we got Madame Webb. Everybody clap for that. It's Madame Webbing time. Did she web all over the place? More than Madame Madam. Sorry. Did Mihada love it? No, me uh Mihada was watching it and I was like, stop. And she just kept watching it and I was like, This is awful. It sucks. Like, have you ever opened uh like Netflix when someone that's not into this should it was like top ten. Yeah, like people look at it and go, Oh, new Marvel movie, and I go, No, not that one though. Stay away from that one. Morbius. Same writers by the way, same writers as Morbius. Yeah, well, that's why it's weapon time. Uh apparently they cancelled the Cindy Moon spin-off show, which was supposed to be like Dude, there's a whole like Spider-Man could be its own universe, kind of like Invincible, but it's part of the Marvel universe. So it's it's Spider-Man is such a big intellectual property. Like, that's why they have Morbius, that's why they have Craven, dude. Craven solo movie. We gotta go watch that. No, I'm absolutely not. You are banned from taking me to superhero movies. What do you mean? You didn't after the flash? You didn't enjoy that? You didn't sit there. Do you remember the baby scene when he saved all those babies? And he put in the microwave. That was like in the first 10 minutes of that movie. Yeah. Yeah. It was awful. It was not great. But yeah, uh Spider Man is a Sony property. Apparently, Sony went to Amazon and MGM and were like, hey, do this thing for me for us. And they were like, all right. You know he dragged me to superheroes, right? Oh, Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball, uh Dragon. He's had some head movie picks. Okay. I forgot about the Dragon Ball. The boy and the Heron? We went oh come on. That one was Okay. We all decided to go watch that though. Okay. Okay. I'm so like, let's get into tangent about how I'm so over Miyazaki. We I've watched two of these movies and I haven't enjoyed either of them. Is Howl's Moving Castle good? Oh, dude, it's amazing. I haven't watched it that way. I'm not watching it. That's all I heard. I told you guys about how I borrowed a copy of Howl's Moving Castle. And that motherfucker skipped 30 minutes at a time pretty much. So yeah, the first two and a half minutes were good. That reminds me of an old story where somebody lent a copy, like a burn copy of Gurn Lagan, and it skipped like eight episodes. Oh. And it's like, wait, they were underground. Why are they now fighting in giant robots? And it's like, uh, you'll get there if you watch the whole thing. And then they go to space. Okay. I might watch the live action Spider-Man Noir with Nick Cage. If I just see Nick Cage doing, yeah, this is Nazis and World War II. If it's not Nick Cage trying to make it like serious, like if he brings the energy from across the Spider-Verse, yeah, absolutely. Acts like Nick Cage. If Nick Cage is hamming it up, yeah, absolutely. It'll be gold, I'm sure. If it's Nick Cage trying to play a serious Spider-Man, I don't know, man. That's not the energy I'm looking for. Like maybe, maybe Marvel or Sony, whoever's making this, is like reading the room wrong where they're like, Madam Wemp did wrong. Madam Wemp didn't do the numbers. Yeah, but maybe they're looking at across Spiders and being like, man, they really like that Spider-Man Noir. What if we made a gritty live action version of that? And it's like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Back it off a little bit. That's not it. Little goof to them. That's all I need. It's like at that point they're already missing the point. Right. Yeah. Um, but yeah, I mean, I hope it is I hope they still bring the like Spider-Ver feel to it, the writing, because Yeah, I want him to be a goofy character. Because like one of the first things we watched as like when we started like hanging out was the spot the two Spider-Verse movies. And you guys enjoyed those. I love Kingpin so much. That fucking fridge of a man. No, Uncle Aaron. Okay, yeah. Well, okay, Uncle Aaron's my favorite character, but Kingpin still. Uncle Aaron got that black Air Force energy. Dude, Uncle Aaron. For real, for real. Dude, his theme, I still think his theme is harder than Miguel O'Hara's. The Dunana goes pretty hard though. Dunan. It's like weirdly high-pitched. It goes up or down. It's like a fucking roller coaster. Alright, let's move on. Speaking of Black Air Force energy. Assassin's Creed Japan. Assassin's Creed Japan. Assassin's Creed Shadows. Okay, you guys had some controversy to tell me. What what is it? So uh people are big mad that uh okay, so for one, it's a Japanese lady that's like the main playable character. Oh, I'm gonna love this already. Right. And then there's there's the black character of Yosuke. Yosuke? Yusuke. Yosuke or Yusuke? It's one of them. These these are like accurate to the time period. Like this character existed. Now I'm not gonna sit here and say that Assassin's Creed is 100% historically accurate. Because it is do you remember in the second game when you fought the Pope and the Pope had magic? Yeah, he had a magic staff. Yeah, I remember that. That motherfucker was disappearing and appearing behind you. I don't think the Pope can do that. He's like a 90-year-old man most of the time. Are you telling me that the uh pieces of Eden are not real terms I'll tell you? Probably not. Are you telling me that there is not an Illuminati controlling every government in the world? You're telling me there's not a fucking staff that makes me immortal as long as I'm holding on to it? No. Okay. Okay, just checking. Absolutely. I guess you'll have to investigate yourself. Yeah, I gotta go fight the Pope. Assassin's Creed. I've been I've been a big fan of Assassin's Creed forever. I played all the games, even the Vita one. Oh, um. Even the PSP one, Bloodlines. Wasn't he like wasn't it like a black dude on a plantation or was it a girl? Yeah, no, okay. That's freedom. That's freedom cry. Freedom cry, that's the one. That was a supporting character in Black Flag. He got his own spin-off her a little bit. The liberation one is the girl who um I think she's like um she's an African-American girl that was taken in uh by this like uh well to do, like, I guess like aristocrat kind of family. Like they could have money. Yeah. Um, you know, and she's like playing a double life between being this, you know, aristocrat's daughter and then doing assassins. Okay, so back to back to shadows, like you Yosuke, Yusuke, yeah. Black character that existed in this period of time in Japan. People big mad because this is my white Japan. Get this my white Japan get this character out of here. And then I heard other people being big mad that it's a woman, and it's like women can't do anything, they can't fight 30 dudes, and it's like Did we forget what games we were playing? Uh, if I recall, there was at least one uh lady protagonist in these Assassin Creed games. I can think of Syndicate. Like uh in in or in Odyssey, the canonical one is Alexandra, which I didn't play it. I did Alexio. Syndicate, it's the twins. Yeah, the twin. That's like when they first started kind of sliding it in. Like, hey, women are good. Like, I d this doesn't feel like the woke agenda being pushed onto an Assassin's Creed game. This feels like, hey, what if we did another female character and had this lore accurate character also being here? Like, I don't people are mad over nothing, it feels like. I will randomly see a lot of comments on Twitter or YouTube or otherwise where it's just like you're looking at a trailer for a game or movie and it seems harmless enough, you know, and then you'll just have people calling out that it's woke or whatever. And it's just like I don't think that's it. My favorite example of this is when uh they were casting Miraco, the the bunny girl from uh I Hero Academia. And it was like a picture of Miraco and a picture of a very light-skinned lady, and they're like, Can't believe they're whitewashing Miracle, and then she no, no, no, no, it gets better. She replies and said, I'm African American. There you go. I mean let's go. There you go. That's uh you got it. Um she was just light skinned then, probably. Yeah, she was I mean, yeah, she's definitely light skinned, but you could still tell. Well, it almost comes back to uh how artists will like correct people's photos. Dude, I hate that. Okay, so I mean, I will probably buy this game when it goes on sale physically because I don't like Ubisoft taking away my games personally. Yeah, this this is under the I'll buy it when it's on sale. Yeah, I don't think I've ever bought an Assassin's Creed game for full price. I'm gonna be honest. I haven't played after Black Flag, Black Flag is still the pinnacle. Assassin's Creed game. I mean, I think Black Flag is like I've heard what top three, if not the top like most beloved Assassin's Creed game game. I think some people consider it number one. Because at a certain point, you just fuck off from being an assassin. You just go sail your ship for fucking like eight hours. So you're doing pirate things, they had ship boss battles. Yeah. That shit doesn't after uh Black Flag, it's like, hey, you're a really sad French guy in the French Revolution. After that, it's like you're the twins in the um industrial revolution in Britain. I heard good things about Odyssey, the the Egyptian one. Oh, Origins. Oh yeah, Origins. Origins was a lot of fun. I enjoyed that one. Um Odyssey, way too fucking big. It felt like a job for him. Oh, what was that? Was it Valhalla, the Viking one? Yeah, Valhalla was the name of that one. I feel like that came and went, and I heard absolutely nothing. That's one of the ones that I haven't played yet. I have it right here. I can pull it out. I'm not going to, but I could. But I haven't played it. Like Black Flag was such a return to form. Because if you did you ever play three? That was boring. I know a lot about three. Is a pile of dog dog shit. You you run through you have you ever Okay. Yeah, okay, we live in the Midwest, right? Oh are there are there any fucking like tall buildings or shit that you can just kind of like run across rooftops and stuff like that? Dude, it is barren in the game, just like it is barren in real life out here. They were like, hey, what if we had trees and you threw the trees and then you're like, okay, American Revolution. This guy is like an Indian assassin, like a Native American assassin. Sorry. Uh he's uh the son of a Templar. Like this had all the makings of a great game, and then you played it and you were like, Man, that sucks. Yeah, just awful. I really like okay, it was sad Native American in the re you know, in the American Revolution, but there was so much potential there because, like, yeah, it is tragic that he's like helping the Americans win, and yet he still gets nothing out of it in the other. There was like a you had to liberate a settlement, you had to build a base, like there was just so much garbage that they had. There was also like fights where you had like the two sides, right? And then you had to like go to certain places and like call out like what cannons or some shit like that. By the way, best part about that is that the um Connor's grandfather is Edward the pirate. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was that's great. That's like one of the best parts. Yeah, it was cool. I was so into that trailer, and then I played it, and I'm like, I don't even think I finished it. Dude, that cinematic like trailer was like one of the best trailers. Yeah, the trailer was great. I remember when that came out and I watched it, and I'm like, holy shit. But yeah, I want to watch this again. Uh but yeah, like So I think the like main overall thing is like people have been begging soft for years to make a uh uh Japanese Assassin's Creed game set in that period of time. I think this is like people mad that they were like, I want to be a cool fucking samurai assassin, and they're like, How about woman and black man instead? It's like, hey, do you want to be a ninja or do you want to be a samurai? Because I'm pretty sure samurai was more of a Chinese thing, but they were in Japan. Oh yeah, they were they were they were everywhere all over Asia, but like I think ninjas are a Japanese thing, whereas like if you do one in China, it will be more samurai heavy, probably. It I think that's just like how I would interpret it. Well, they they did have a small like 2D uh platforming kind of game that was in China. Oh yeah, yeah, don't get me wrong, but you know they weren't roguelike, they weren't Metrovania, they were just like get from point A to point B. Yeah. Uh so I think people are just big man that their penultimate game isn't what they wanted, but I don't suck it. I'll play it when it's on sale. The only valid criticism I think on this is the price tag, because I'm hearing like Hey, do you want the Ultimate Collector's Edition that'll like bl uh rub you rub one out for you? Yeah, it's gonna be like five hundred dollars. I heard the base game's like fucking ridiculously price. They really want $90 for it? Yeah. Wait, what uh what? It's like uh Okay, I heard $130. I don't know where I heard that say because we already raised like a lot of like triple A titles to just $70 base. The industry decided we're going to $70. Yeah, uh it's more than that? Uh that's what I heard. I I haven't well they're high if they think so you can get the standard for $70, but you want the ultimate edition $129, and if you want the gold edition one on a gold edition mean? That's a good question, sure. Click on that link, DJ. No, these are digital. Yo, I can rent that art looks pretty much. I can rent this game for $17.99 a month, honestly. Oh, they're doing a dual thing where the uh the girl is more on the ninja kind of side and the dude's more on the samurai kind of side. Yeah, that's fine. Okay, but let's see. Standard edition, you get base game and pre-order bonus, gold edition you get base game pre-order, season pack, three-day early access, the ultimate edition. I mean, they do have multiplayer in these. The ultimate edition, you uh the the only additional perk from the gold edition is that you get the ultimate pack, and then if you like do one day with Ubisoft Plus, you get the ultimate edition. Uh everything else that's included plus 100 PC games. Let me get this right. For $17.99 a month, I can play this game a day early. Yeah, but and also a hundred other games that they will be taking down at some point. That's not the point. Honestly, why wouldn't I just buy this for a month and then cancel the subscription? Uh they're scummy. They wouldn't give you your money back. No, I I don't need my money back. Because do I have to buy the game and the subscription, or can I buy the subscription? No, you get the subscription and then you get the game. I think that's what it is. So it's like it's like Xbox Live or Xbox Game Pass. Yeah. I was wishing it was like Game Pass. It'd be like $17 for a new Assassin's Creed? That's not bad. Either way. Buy it when it's on sale. Alright. Next up, we watch the Dune movies. Unfortunately. Come on, they were good. Oh yeah, Sherm, did you find the name of that sandworm? Um shall um so I liked the first Shy Halud. Uh Shy Halud. You were shy halud. The shy halud. Okay, okay. Wait, is that is that when they were like, that is the shy halud, the biggest worm around. I think the first movie was fine. I enjoyed it more than the second one. Because like like we discussed when we left the theater, you could literally see the parts that were cut for time. Yeah. It's like, hey, Paul met whatever Zendaya's name was, I don't remember. Uh it's like Sherry or Trish? No, no, it wasn't Trish. Trish. I think it what? It meant like spring something or autumn something, whatever. Spring spring. Sherry? Chani. Chani. Like they met, they were immediately spent with each other. They have sex, I don't remember. Yeah, they do. Yeah, they do. Did they? Yeah, uh, they were in a they were in a tent at least one time, and yeah, they were they're like done afterwards. You know what they say about uh sex in the desert? Yeah, it's intense. Ha ha ha ha. That's a good one, Sherman. Anyway. Is Stellan Skarsgar dead? Did they kill him? Boilers. Uh I don't know. Oh, um yes. Yes, he did kill him. Uh Paul, our main man, he does end up like stabbing him or something. Personally, I think I personally think Dune will have some of the best um names, like, except Paul. Like, what the fuck? What's wrong with Paul Atreides? Forget about Lady Jessica. Dude, late like Duke Leo Atreides, Duncan, Idaho. Oh Duncan, Idaho. I forgot about Duncan, Idaho. Gurney How Holleck. Uh, let's see. Oh, that might be the best names. Some of the best actors had some of the best uh character names. Didn't really care for the second the first one was good. Well, when you were watching the second one, I was just sitting there like, okay, so they're gonna end it now. They're gonna end it now. And they just kept going. And it's just like that's the problem you have when you release like serialized movies like this, especially when they attach part one, part two to it. You're like, this is cutting somewhere. I'm getting cliffhangers. Of course, of course, yeah. Like, even the good thing about Across the Spider-Verse that I didn't even fucking realize is I didn't even realize it was a fucking serialized set of movies. So at the end, I was like, oh, you just dropped the biggest cliffhanger. I'm so mad. Like I loved it, but I was so mad. And part three was supposed to come out like this March, so we don't have as far as I know, we don't have any updates. But take take take your time, make it good. Make it good. I for I think it's the president of Nintendo that said before, uh a good game takes longer, but a rush game is always a rush game. Yeah, it's something like that. Uh Shigeru Miyamoto once said, like, hey, why would we make a game if we have nothing to like add, improve, or make better? So it's like some because somebody was like, Why don't you make another F-Zero game? And they're like, Why? F Zero on the GameCube was like at this point in time, why? Because no one remembers F-Zero. You go, what's F-Zero? And it's like the game Captain Falcon came from. That's all you need. Some people would be like, I was that. Wait, no, is that a different game? No, no, you no, F-Zero, Captain Falcon, yeah. Yeah, okay. I want to say I was thinking of Star Fox. Never mind. Okay, we did move on to Dune, right? So Yeah. The Benny Gesserit. Yep, the Dune Dune prequel show. Um, I don't think I'd wa I don't think I want to watch this. Especially because it's gonna be written by the son of the author. And people tend to say that he basically retcons or who's been writing the current his son. Uh the current Dune movies are written by um well, they're like adapted by like let me s because there's always like a there's always like a script writer who adapts the screen, like adapts the yeah, these guys. Okay. I mean if they're attached to it. Oh, the director, yeah. So the director also kind of adapted the if they're if they're attached to the the prequel about the Benny Jezzeret, I might watch it just because I like like the Benny Jezzeret are interesting. Yeah, they're cool, and I mean I'm sure there's plenty of things they could explore about them specifically. Was this a show or a movie? This is gonna be a show on Max. Oh, I don't know. Maybe. Okay, so if it was a movie, you might be more inclined. Yeah. Yeah, it's gonna be a show. So this is gonna be like the beginning of the Benny Jesseret, but what people have been saying, uh what people have been saying, especially the the one guy at our work that got fired, um, was because he was reading Dune. Um, was that apparently he was not gonna continue going because from what he had heard is that like the son that took over. Yeah, his son is starting to contradict the affit like the main books by uh Herbert. Does it feel like the son never read the books? No, I'm pretty sure he read them, but it's just like I feel like his son was probably kind of like it would have been cooler if they did this. It's kind of like um somebody who takes like an already well-established good work and then like puts in fanfiction. That's what somebody described at one time. Yeah, some of those they are pretty good. Only if it's porn. What are you talking about? I've read porn fanfic. I may or may not have also uh Dos Jesus on the other hand. Oh, those are set. But like, do you guys care for a Dune show? I kinda don't. I just kind of want just the Benny Jesser. You kind of care for the Benny Jesser stuff? Yeah, because I think they're interesting, and if I explored that, I mean this kind of comes down to I should just read the books. Probably should. I mean, after the second movie, uh in all honesty, I'm a little deflated about like my excitement for more Dune stuff, to be honest with you. You're deflated with Dune? A little bit. A little bit. Like um the justification I could make in my head is well, at least I'm not following fucking Paul and Chani and all this other like mainline bullshit. I can just get the cool stuff about the the space gypsies or whatever they are. Like well, that that's what I was gonna say. It's like, yeah, even though I'm kind of deflated about like the main stuff, just talking about the Benny Gesserits, like that could be interesting because they're fucking schemers, you know. Makes sense. They have plans within who says that they're schemers. Uh I think it's the main mother reverend. I think the mother reverend was the one who said it. Oh, I'm I just meant the line plans within plans. Wait, is that the Joker from the Dark Age? Well, the schemers thing is they got their plans. They're trying to control their little world. It was never about the money. It's about sending a message. Um, okay. Well, if you guys are up to it, we can't joke about it. Uh once I get my Saturdays off, we'll we'll be able to watch more stuff than we do now. But for right now, like Yeah, if it's I also feel like the length of it, like, yeah, I did kind of want it to be a movie, but I realize how it can't be a movie. But if it's like twelve episodes and there is a lot. As long as the plot's good and it's interesting. Yeah, maybe. Alright. We'll have to see. It might be one of those where like it comes out and I'm like looking for something to just listen to and glance at occasionally. It might be one of those. That's kind of how full I was for me. Alright, so let's get into the anime section of this. Rubbing my fingers together. Sorry, my hands together. Afterwards, immediately transition. It's perfect. Alright, so um back out of anime into Marvel. No, no, no. We already we already talked about this. Never mind. Once again, back into anime listeners. High Dive picks up exclusive uh plus size L. Exclusive. I know what it looks like, but can you click on it just so I can see it again? I liked when she was eating some fries. Um I mean, that's so relatable. I love eating fries. You know what? I can already relate to it. Do you know what the story of this is? Like is she isekide from a fucking fantasy world? I don't know. Yes, actually. So she actually ends up in the human world, and you know, she's like, from what I understand, just a regular elf, right? Is it is this etchy? That I don't know. Okay. No idea. I just know that she chows the fuck down in the human world because we have good food. Okay, all I'm saying is this guy picked up by high dive. High dive picks up the niche stuff. We know that. We watch Gushing Over Magical. And Chain Soldier. And Chain Soldier. That is also pretty good. Also, Oshino Ko. We have to watch that at some point. The new season's coming out. Yeah, we'll we'll get to that because I want to watch that. Salem will be forced to watch it at that point. I will watch it, the OP's banger. Oh, yeah. I love the OP. I still do it. Jose's gonna fucking skip it. No, that's the one OP. Well, that's the one. Oh you watch Domestic Girlfriend and skip the best part of it every episode. Dude, that showed it. Oh, the opening was good in that too, actually. Yeah, and you watched it. I mean, how that was during the time I was like, let's give anything a shot. You know what? I still do that. All I'm saying is That was during a time in the past. Oh, wait, no. I vote for like two episodes. If we're not into it, we can just skip. All right. For Oshinoko? No. Oh, well, yeah, of course. I gotta know about the the memes of the incest. Uh something I was gonna say something. Uh Reddit and Twitter were aflame with uh these two are the the kids are fucking And I gotta know why. Okay. Uh we'll see. We'll see. Uh size off. We'll see. One thing I didn't put in here um that is also related to high dive, because I forgot, is that season five of Don Machi is coming back. And I will be watching that. Is uh Mr. Baker hater over there. Uh girls in a dungeon. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Baker's over there hating. Maybe I was a little harsh. Was that horny Salem? It's not really that horny. No. What's hornier? Uh SOA or Don Machi? Well, um, I'll I'll say having not watched Don Machi. I think it's Don Machi. I'll say Don Machi simply because, like, even though it's not super bad, like Hestia's bedonkers are going nuts every now and then. So you might be thinking of another different Isekai. Never mind. Yeah. I was probably a little harsh on it the last time I brought it up, but uh I still think it's fucking boring. I watched, I think, two seasons of it, and yeah, no. I didn't have a good idea. Don Machi or Data Live? I don't know if I have a data live, honestly, Sherm. Oh, another one I forgot to kind of. Oh no. My data live was uh Recreators. That's what mine was. How itchyators. Oh, it's it's not. It's just bad. I think so. You know what else is my data live? Dude Sinfo gear. Oh yeah. You you have a couple data live shit. There's a couple of them. There's a couple. Uh sorry, another one I forgot to bring up that is that got announced is Sakamoto Days got announced, and that's gonna be exclusive to Netflix. Sakam- I don't know if I've told you guys, Sakamoto Days is the one with the Assassin's Guild. He looks like Draken when he goes skinny. Yeah, it's the shop owner that's secretly assassin. Well, he's a retired assassin. Yeah, he's a he's a retired assassin. He's John Wick. He's got that thing. He always keeps on him. He's always strapped, which is the scanner from the grocery store. I always see that picture whenever people talk about Sakamoto days, and I'm like, okay. Yeah, so Don Machi season five, Sakamoto Days, and Oshinoko season two. Um I think that one was announced a while back, but uh I keep forgetting to tell you guys we should watch that. I'm into Oshinoko. I might pick up Sakamoto. Like my my metric is do I hear people talking about it and telling me to watch it? If so. Okay. Uh I'll happily watch Oshinoko. That's fine. Don Machi's. Okay. Okay, so don't force me to watch it. Oh, oh, I I won't force you Shin. I really enjoyed it. I don't get what your guys' head is for it, but Isakai to watch. And we could maybe get like three episodes. Oh, do you know what else? We'd be on this for months. We would. You know what Isakai's getting flamed right now? Apparently, the slime one, because apparently, like, okay, and I've been watching it week to week for five episod for four episodes, there was a bunch of just talking at a table. Okay. And then the last few episodes have been like, alright, now let's fight. The podcast that I was listening to uh about anime was Taku's Anonymous. It's uh Danny Mata and I forget the other guy. I think it's for Nick. That's where that came from. Was Nick made a video where he was like, I fucking hate slimey sky. What are we on? Five? Three. Three. Wait, only three? Yeah, there was a spinoff called the Slime Diaries. Yeah. He was talking about how it's sitting at the table. I've just been reading news articles about people just being upset. There's also been like people under like um like even in the Crunchyroll comments, people are just like, shut the fuck up and go fight. So okay, to be fair, that was me with recreators, though. That was me with the lizards and the overlord. Oh my god. Uh dude, recreators almost the entire fucking show is them yapping. I couldn't I was skimming episodes near the end. I couldn't fucking do it. Why do why do why did people not skip Game of Thrones when all when they were like walking and talking in a fucking flower field for like five episodes? Well, because Game of Thrones was actually interesting, and you were engaged with like all the characters and all the interwoven pop like plots going on. Like Game of Thrones was good until C well, season seven, I think. I would say season this is the thing that I've recently come to like figure figure out about anime is like does stuff before it earn it that time to spend that kind of time just like because I think another show that did something similar to maybe not five episodes in a row of talking at a table, but Log Horizons, where it's a lot of him just talking. Yeah, there's a lot of yapping in Log Horizons. There's very little fighting. Shield Hero did that too, right? I felt like Shield Hero there was quite a bit of yapping. I mean, it just depends. They would like go kill some slimes and then be like, all right, let's go talk for 20 minutes. He goes into yap sessions, but like I feel like if if Oh, if you hate yap sessions, you we need to stop what we should not continue uh solo leveling because after a certain point he just talks to himself the entire comic. You just have an inner monologue, oh I was my favorite disappear into the dungeons by himself forever and then never come out. Uh sometimes. Sometimes he's just like uh like extended periods. Yeah. I'm gonna be honest, like the stuff we watched at solo leveling, I didn't really care when he was out of the dungeons. So the the sister's hot. But back to what like what were we on? Like Isekai's, right? Like Yeah, I feel like if you if if you have made a good show up to that point, like with the fights and keeping people entertained, I feel like you can afford that, but you just gotta know when to cut it off. Sure. Five episodes a lot for just yapping at it. I I mean it probably also comes down to like of course what they're talking about, too. A lot of it is like rap- is it actually like involving the plot itself, or is it like kind of fluff stuff? A lot of season three spoilers for slime is like dealing with the repercussions and dealing with the aftermath of season two. So is it you've watched this, correct? Yeah. Is it show, don't tell, or is it it's is it is it like that's the problem where you'd rather be shown this than told this, or is it just these characters need to Um, they do a lot of explaining that is unnecessary, but sometimes they just do stuff and you're kind of engaged, but then they do that, they do that thing where they stop and start explaining like start explaining something. Every anime does it though. So there's good exposition and then there's bad exposition. Correct. But I think people have been upset that this entire first like five, six episodes has just been like talking. I mean as a s as one of the few slime fans here, uh, do you feel like you're engaged watching it or has it even started to grind on you? It did start to grind on me because they took like almost three episodes to wrap up last season's bullshit, and then they start wrap like they start beginning this season's bullshit, and there there's like characters are being introduced, people are like plotting behind the scenes, and it's just like uh okay. And it's just like, oh now we're the bad guys. And there's like a there's weirdos, there's like a lolly sitting on some old guy's lap, and I'm just like oh lolly character. I'm just like uh okay. So I mean, if it if you're starting to get to that point, I could see why other people are angry with it. I don't know, it depends. Like I said, if you feel like the show has been good enough and you feel like you're still engaged, though they're just sitting at a tabletop, fine. If not, yeah. In my opinion, I feel like the lizards were worse than overlord, but uh whatever. It's true, it's true. I think he's a really cool man. I I don't know. I mean, I was able to soldier through the lizard man arc or whatever you want to call it in overlord, but I get it. Like no one looks back and they're like, Oh yeah, the lizard man arcest take you're gonna get oh, I didn't mind the wow like that first that first like maybe three or four episodes, I was like, come on, let's get to it. And then it got to me and it was going. So I was like, okay. No, I meant like a lot of the walking talking lizard stuff, like yeah. No, I I get where you were frustrated. I was also getting a little bit tired of it. We were able to get through it, but it's just like if you had to go back and watch it again or you look back on it, you're not gonna be like, oh yeah, there was a lot of really interesting stuff. Second hottest take I have second hottest take. I don't think it's I mean, that's fine. It's a solid six, it's very mediocre. I I'd probably give it about a six, too. Oh uh like the character designs are great. I mean, I like when Aynes is actually talking to himself and he's going on like a kind of a ramble. The idea of it being a switch where it's like the isekai person is not the hero of the story and it's the villain is cool. I think uh Albedo's hot. That was what was driving me. And then solid reasons, I'd say. Season three, I think, was better than season two. Uh season one was kind of up in the air, it was like just establishing a world, not much there. Yeah, I haven't watched season four, maybe season four it fucking pops off. I don't know. You know, we'll we'll keep an eye on either. All this is to say we're you may uh give it a go and maybe like it. It's a it's possible. All right. So do you guys like Disney? Not current. Do you guys like Disney stuff? I mean, there are certain Disney. I love Mulan. What the new one? I've no oh the new one was funny. Uh dude, I was laughing non-stop watching the new Mulan, I gotta tell you. It was so bad. Uh it was bad. The guys that like popularized, I think, the online stuff for Commander, one of those guys was in the new live-action Mulan. I think that's all I got. What's this news story, DJ? Uh, so Disney executive details the company's anime game plan. So I'm gonna condense this down to TLDR. So basically what's going on is that this dude right here, Takuyu uh Taku Takyoto Yaha. Takoto Yahata. Thank you. Uh basically what he's saying is he's um he's he's the per executive that oversees the anime at Disney, and basically what's happening, somebody asked them basically like, um, Japan's entering its golden age. I feel like it hasn't. I feel like we've been out of the golden age for a minute. Anyways, what's happening? I'll make the argument against you. Okay. Well, anyways, so basically what's happening is they're asking him, like, so now that you're buying up anime and Disney Plus is becoming a global brand for people to watch stuff and like because I don't know if you guys know, in other countries, what Hulu is to us, yeah, Disney Plus is Hulu. So Hulu in other countries is just called Disney Plus. So even though we have the streaming giant Hulu, like that's what we have. In other countries, it's just called Disney Plus. So, like in Australia, New Zealand, I think maybe um the UK, it's just called Disney Plus, and they have all of the like Hulu originals. So that's yeah, anyways, this guy is basically saying, okay, so now that Disney owns a major like Disney owns the majority stake of Hulu, uh, they're the ones that basically make a lot of the decisions. And because, and we're watching Go Go Loser Ranger, uh, and you guys remember this when Summertime Rendering came out, nobody was talking about it except the people who were pirating it because it was a good anime. Yeah, because it was locked in the Disney Bowl. So for whatever reason, when Summertime Rendering came out, yeah, it was locked in Disney jail, and they weren't even it wasn't like week to week or month, you know, they waited till the whole thing was done and then dubbed it for whatever reason. It was weird. Because I kept trying to look for it because they were like, it's on Disney Plus, and it wasn't there. Anyways, what they're basically saying is like, hey, so what are you gonna do about like anime? You know, it's not all you know family friendly or appropriate. Right. And he's basically he basically kind of hinted to there might there might be some changes or there might be some like right here. I don't think any major shifts have been made. The fundamental story uh storytelling, the precision of the action have not changed, but there may be shifts towards adapting more acceptable expressions. So I think what they're doing is they're gonna do that uh funnation thing where it's like do you guys remember when people were making a big deal out of like uh when Miss Kobayashi Dragon made English dub was like doing that thing? Yeah. The Pamela Henderson in high school DXT. Yeah, where they they changed the source material. Yeah, so I think I think this is what uh I think this is what he might be hinting towards where he's where they might shift a couple of like story beats or they might try to like uh have some problematic things like to the side. So it's like if characters are gay, lesbian, or like, hey, this guy really wants to fuck his sister, it's like uh we're just gonna maybe not even like translate that or something like that. So it's like then what are you kind of getting into this anime space for? Just get the safe for work stuff, Disney. I mean you already have bleach. This is a pretty ambiguous line to draw, right? Because it's like like you're saying, when is it gonna end and what things are they gonna keep and not, you know what I mean? And it's like, I guess depending on what type of properties you're picking up, that might not matter too much, but um, I recommend if this does happen and it's bad, pirate your meat. Yeah, but you're also gonna have to have somebody like who ha will go and like translate it faithfully because you know Disney couldn't do it. So it's one of those things where it's like you're gonna have to have you're gonna have to find somebody who will translate it faithfully because Disney was making changes. That's true. But I think the problem unless it's it's still wild to me that they got bleach. Yeah. So like I don't know what the big one is that they'll get. And then like the problem is the big ones are usually like Remember they got season two of Tokyo Avengers and it died? I mean, that was more like if I hadn't read the manga, I probably would have watched it. More more than but I know what you're saying. Yeah. Where it's like things go to Hulu to die. I feel like them acknowledging the fact that it has to be week to week is a good step in the right direction for them. But if they're picking up shows and they're like, I don't like this part, I'm just gonna have them dub it differently. Like, I feel like you're gonna run into problems. Like if that's the case, then either hope it's like a minor show or a niche show, or read the manga, I guess. I don't I don't know. But Disney is m a monster company. That's true. Yeah, they're they're gonna do whatever they want, and you're gonna have to live with the consequences of it. Just like I had to live with season two of Promise Neverland. Well every time you mention it wounds my heart, term every time. But that's what I'm saying. Like, I had no I had no recourse for that. I had to go read the book. Maga was good, by the way. Read the promise, read the whole thing. Do you do you think like we should give Disney the benefit of the doubt? Should we give them a chance? For now, because what else are we gonna do? That's true. I feel like I said, the steps towards like originally having summertime rendering being all released at one time versus go go lose ranger and other properties I'm sure they have being week to week, that's a good step. Now, if they're like, I don't know, the brother and sister kiss, uh just step, bro. Just make them have lollipops in their mouth. I don't know. Remove the cigarettes, give them lollipops. There you go. Like then at that point, just hope it's a not popular show. It's purely gonna depend on what they do when it's in their hands. All right. It's just purely depends on the phone. Like this is what they do. This is why Monopolies are awful. Like, if if Crunchyroll got bought out by Disney, we'd be so boned and I'd have to start reading manga, and I you know how much I can't read manga. Let's see. Crunchyroll was bought out by Sony. Now, I feel like they haven't really done anything drastic with it, they're just kind of letting it be. But how about this article I talked to you guys about earlier? The uh Crunchy Rolls letting down their deaf anime fans with close captioning. Like, what do you guys think? Um So this is just specifically like the noise captioning, correct? Yeah, so it's like it'll be like uh uh uh dramatic music, something that's like a sound, but it's not like people talking basically, like background noise or whatever. Correct, keys jingling menacingly. That's so good. Is that like a JoJo translation? No. I'm I mean shit. When when they have the the menacing like kanji appear behind people, yeah, but like that's you know, that's a joke within the show, but it's like if keys are that's not a joke. That's yeah, he's a very menacing. Ever seen whole horse before? Got a gun. Don't don't talk about whole horse. What do you have a problem with whole horse? Uh I I think he's funny as fuck, but wait hardly menacing. I have a question. Having not read part six or seven, please tell me that Valent Funny Valentine is riding on top of whole horse in a different universe. That would be hilarious if whole horse was an actual horse in a different universe. I don't know, but I want it to be now. I feel like that's a missed opportunity. Give the horse a hat or something. Wait, is it Araki? Yeah, it's Araki. Yeah, it's Araki. Yeah, uh Ariki. So, I mean, do you do you feel like if you because I feel like I kind of can't hear shit either, but I don't think I need to hear the keys jingling menacingly. If I miss it, I miss it. But I mean, somebody who is like clinically deaf, I guess, do you think this would this is unfair for them? Like that they can't hear the keys menacing jingly? I mean, I can't they can't hear the jingling. I guess it would depend on like how important the sound is, right? Because like, you know, fucking hearing like cars in the background drive in a way that you don't need to bother with that, it really doesn't matter. But if it was like a horror movie or like a dramatic scene, maybe that'd be a good idea. I mean, because what was it, Blade Runner? Were we watching Blade Runner and they were doing that? Dude, that that was a unique experience with Blade Runner because we were also getting the asterisks when there was supposed to be shit. I feel like it's just like a Crunchyroll, just come on, guys. What are we doing what are we doing? I think that's like a lot of what people were like basically trying to tell Crunchers like Crunchyroll just be better. Just do better. Just spend a little extra time. Come on, guys. You bring in a lot of subscribers. I'm subscribers. And I am too. I'm I don't pay for their ultimate tier, but I pay the premium amount to not see ads. Of course. But aside from that, I mean, yeah, Crunchyroll could do better by the subscribers, especially the ones with like disabilities and stuff. I think that would honestly help bring in more viewership and stuff, but I guess it just depends uh on how much nickel and diming. I don't know what the Crunchyroll sleigh factory looks like. They might have like four translators doing all these fucking shows. Who knows? I don't know if you ever tried to like hit the skip button on an opening. I know you guys don't normally don't, but I do. What's the skip button? I don't know. What is this button you're talking about? Anyway, sometimes some kind of mystical button. Sometimes I go and hit the skip button and it only skips like two seconds ahead. I hope it did. And yeah, so I feel like they just have it go back to start again, start the episode over. Some shows don't even have the skip button, so I have to like manually do it. April Fool's joke. Yeah, the the skip opening button just starts the episode over. Just make it a joke and then keep it. Well, hopefully Disney. Hopefully this is something they can figure out. Alright, so you wanted to talk about the studio Perot. Yeah. Um this was this is an old news uh thing, but we did talk about it earlier. I think we even talked about it maybe like we talked about the possibility on I think our first episode. Yeah, so this is kind of an announcement that they're thinking Studio Perot, I think it was the director of the studio, came out and said, Hey, we're thinking of taking our remaining IPs that are not currently seasonal and making them seasonal. This would include, to my knowledge, the only thing that's non-seasonal that's still running. Borto one piece, uh like Detective Conan, Crayon Chin Chan, and the blue one that I can never remember the name of. It's like a blue cat thing. Uh so basically this is them saying, like, hey, we we might consider taking Ortho and Black Clover specifically, because those are the two that they work on. Toe works on Toei animation works on these making them seasonal shows instead of just week-to-week episodes. So this would improve the quality of these shows drastically because if they have more time, like six months between each season, uh get a lot you have more money to spend on each episode, you have more time to go over each episode to make sure it's animated well, you like clean up. They pull the they pull a My Hero Demon Slayer kind of where they're adapting art or they're adapting. Every show now. Oh, yeah. Besides the one that I name. You're talking about them like not like cranking it out. Yeah. Just ca it's like when Bleach was coming out, you had full seasons of art, like full filler arcs. It's like, hey, it's kind of nice that you went through the trouble painstaking trouble of like making a new arc, but it sucks. I don't want to watch it. Unfortunately, yeah, when it comes to Bleach, no one likes the filler arcs. I I like the band arc, but that's just because they effectively fight with puppets that have powers. I think it's we found one. One of them that likes the band arc. Well, yeah, and then the main bad guy is this hot vampire guy whose puppet is the. Never mind. I figured it out. Yeah, you got me. Do you guys remember the arc where all the bankaies came alive or something? I do, yeah. Uh fucking That's when I stopped watching filler. Muramaso is the main villain in that. I skipped all the filler. You didn't miss anything important, don't you? You did. I missed the beach episode. Oh, okay. Kind of uh kind of like uh to bleed into um Boroto and that kind of stuff. Yeah, especially with the ongoing like Boroto manga, which is like month to month almost. By the way, this is a spoiler. Uh click off now if you don't want to hear Boroto spoilers. Uh the Ninetales, she's now the Ninetales Jinjuriki. Are you excited? Brahma's back. Are you excited? No, I'm angry. Uh I I just flat out don't give a shit about Boruto. I look, Naruto would have been fine to end when Shapuden ended. We didn't need anything. So I still maintain that with Dragon Ball too. Like it could have ended. True. But yeah, so like I personally don't understand why they have they weren't doing like 12 episodes of a season or 24, because I feel like the when they went so hard with It then they had to start doing filler. I re I don't know if you guys ever read the Naruto Manga, but I did. When he was training with Jiraya and that toad, um, to like summon the toad, yeah, that shit was like two chapters. That shit blew out for like five episodes or something. It was long. I have no doubt that they spread that out. Like when you're when you're kind of like adding to like a fight, kind of like the uh Sarotobi uh Orochimaru fight, like that fight didn't last long in the manga, but I feel like the anime made it way better because there was just a lot more like action going on. Yeah, I mean sometimes it's okay to kind of extend things a little bit and add it. I feel like that's why we would watch this movie, right? It's like we want to see these manga panels get brought to life. And then like and then being uh and if they're extended, if the fight is being extended and it adds to the fight, sure, but if you're kind of extending the fight like a one-piece fight, I think I'm good. Okay, so I he's right. The one piece pacing is hard. But when it when it goes, it goes. Right, but when you when you have uh rematch Luffy versus Lucci, it's like it goes in, but then but that lasted how long? That last I don't know, it's like two to three minutes. Exactly. It's about what you get with it. Yeah. So but like imagine imagine had it been adapted correctly. Like if it had been adapted like how it is in the manga, you're not you know, in the manga every character is doing like, you know, Oda lines up all the straw hats and they do a reaction, but in the anime everyone gets their own panel reaction for five seconds. I will say I think I think a fighting in one piece is all pace that we need to do stretch episodes with like what normal anime episodes cover about what three chapter two or three chapters. In a normal show, yeah. It's normally two to three chapters that is one episode. Like go go lose a ranger. And I think that one piece someone broke it down into like a chapter and maybe a half sometimes. Oh, usually it's just one chapter. But it's like the fights are paced well in the fact that they feel like that took that amount of time. It's just a reaction shot, reaction shot, reaction shot, reaction shot, reaction shot. That that's where they're filling that time in and you feel it every time. I feel like okay, this jujitsu kaizen does it right because sometimes when I read jujitsu kaizen, a fight will feel like I read this in three minutes. But then you watch the anime and they were able to pace it so well that if that those 20 minutes felt way longer than they than they actually were. Like that was a 20-minute episode. It felt longer because it was just paced so well, and then they bombard you with information in that fucking show. Sometimes you're kind of like, what did they say? I don't know. The yapping in Jujutsu Kaisen has to be studied. There is a yap. Like they are masters of Yapanese. Like, is this like when you guys were talking about how like they try to explain like some people's powers and stuff like that? And then you'll just be like, I don't even know what they said. The domain smaller, but Tsukuna made it bigger. So Tsukuna has control in this case. But next time they clash domains, Tsukuna's a smaller and gojo. That's just like fucking pages of just what is going on. It feels like pages, yeah. It feels like you're reading a Webster's dictionary on the definition of a domain expansion clash. That's literally what you're reading. I cannot giving you a homework, but he's not even doing it in a way that it's like entertaining. It's like, no, I'm gonna give you the English definition, Merriam Webster. This is how an Oxford uh scholar in literature would break it down, like would write it. So like Hikari's coming up, there's gonna be like five minutes of explaining how Hikari's fucking domain expansion works. And the only redeeming factor that the anime does is they have that sick narrator that's like fucking for the next four minutes and eleven seconds, Hakari is effectively a mortar. Like it's so d like I hate it, but I love it at the same time. It doesn't make any fucking sense. You told me that the other day, and dude, it's just so funny how specific that it's gonna be the most powerful sorcerer it of the past versus the most powerful sorcerer of today. Which uh, spoiler, we will talk about the latest chapter at the end of this episode. 261. 261. So if you do not want to know anything about jujitsu kaizen, anything at all past the anime season two, you need to stop listening after we're done with the main topic, which let's get into the main topic. So, trigger. Studio trigger. Why what makes them so beloved? Go. Uh they are masters at taking uh originally it was I think uh no, for the most part, I think all their stuff is anime original. Uh yes, so like the main stuff that we would that we would want to talk about, yeah, it is original. It'd be like there and when we say anime original, we mean no manga. Just like we want to make a fucking anime. What's this one about? How about fucking underground people that stay off the surface because there are bad beast men there? When we get to the surface, giant robots, eventually uh the giant robots run off of spiral energy. Uh there's an anti-spiral race, we have to fight them. And I know that sounds ridiculous, but they get there somehow. Like spoiler alert for the end of Kill A Kill. Yeah, they just that's gonna go. No, but like also in Kill A Kill, like they're just in space. I told Jose last week, my favorite thing that Trigger does, there is so much ridiculous shit happening. They don't explain it, but it doesn't matter because you're having the best fucking time of your life watching it. So it's very much like a rule of cool kind of thing where it's like it's just so awesome what you're seeing, you're not thinking about it. Do I care how Ryuko fucking made blades out of Senketsu? Not really. It's cool. Am I here for it? Absolutely. Hey, she can fly now. They fly now. They fly now, anyways. Okay, so let me give you a little bit of background. So trig so this started uh trigger started because of these two guys. Um uh yeah, Hiruyuki Imiashi. Imayashi. Yeah, and then uh Mashiko Otsuka. Masahiko Otsuka. Yeah. So these two guys are Trigger. They are what started Trigger, but they originally started at Gynax, where they started, well, this guy started with like um he joined Studio Ghibli, but he later went to Gynax, and that's where he made his debut as a director for Evangelion. The other guy, which is the most important guy, um, he started at Gynax after graduating. It didn't say from where, but I assume college or university. And his first anime was Ava as an in-between animator. Now he drew some Dojinji. Yeah, I gotta find it. Oh. I didn't care. You don't say. I didn't care to look it up, but I I don't think it's spicy Dojinchi. But okay, so Sherm, if you look it up, send it to me later. Yeah, I will. Okay, so Gynax actually has a tragic story, which uh I just kind of want to TLDR. So it was seven animators, they were probably friends. Um they s they did a Daikon short film three, which was like a short, like an anime short short thing back in the day. Uh it was okay, but people were like, you have promise, do better. They came back the following Daikon, they did Daikon 4. It was well received. They started Guy next. It was an anime movie called Royal Space Force. Um it was well received, but what really popped them off, what really got them on the map, Neon Genesis Evangelian. So acknowledge the original. Acknowledge your tribal chiefs, Alem. Anyway, you've never watched Neon Genesis. You've never watched Neon, right? No, I have not. But you're doing this and it's just killing me. No, I know. I I know why you laughed. I d don't watch Neon. Watch a two-hour retrospective. And it depends. If I ever consume it, it'll probably be through that. Now, you if you watch a retrospective, uh, you need to be careful on whether you need to watch a depressed retrospective or uh hey, it changed my life, or uh hey, now I'm depressed. Get get a level take on that retrospective. Uh I'll do my best. You don't want them motherfuckers glazing the shit out of this show. Because I'm gonna be honest, the the concept of what if we had to have children fight in giant robots, but also it's a traumatizing experience and these kids are mentally fucked from it. That's a cool idea on paper. I think the delivery was off, especially when they ran out of money for the last two episodes, and it's just like concept footage and Shinji talking. It's not a great ending. The ending of Ava made it better. You still don't know what's going on. It feels like I'm like it feels like Gaggay stuff where I'm just like things are happening in the world. I'm kind of here, but I have no idea what they're talking about. Also, for some reason, you have to become sad afterwards. They want he wants Hidekiano wants you to be sad. Okay, so basically, uh Neon Genesis is what put them on put Gynex on the map, it blew them up, they were getting accolades names, and the money was starting to trickle in. By the way, money problems is one of the things Gynex is known for. They don't not know how to handle their money. By the way, Gynax president Takeshi 6ix9ine. No, that means no, not 6ix9ine. Takeshi Suomara and tax accountant, uh, what is this one right here? Yoku Yoshikatsu Yosaki. Yep, were arrested on July 13, 1999, and then later jailed for accounting fraud. Like this is a re This is a reoccurring problem with Gynacks is that they just get into money problems and they never have enough money for anything. Like literally the re literally uh Guran Lagan coming out and Panny and Stocking is a miracle. Um but Yeah, the the uh director or the president of the studio came out recently and said we couldn't make a another kill a kill. Not because like they want to change what they're making or like the content like the content of the stories they pick. Like we were just under such a fucking time crunch. We just had to balls to the walls and hope it fucking worked. And me and Jose were pointing this out to each other while watching Kill a Kill. You remember like just how sometimes in Kill a Kill, it's just fucking PNGs moves. Oh yeah, yeah, it's that's like one of the best parts. It's like sometimes somebody will be running and then it's just like they'll trip them and it's just like a PNG. They just they just spin, it's they like fall off shit and it's just a PNG spin. It's like it's like five frames of a PNG just like twirling. Or it's like we we have these five sumo wrestlers move the PNGs so it looks like their legs are lifting up so they can slam down. Well, if I remember right, when uh I don't know how far y'all got in its entirety. I finished it. Yeah, so if you remember um uh Nui, the annoying ass bitch with the other half of the scissor blade. I hate it. When she went to knock uh Sanageyama off because they were setting up uh Ryuko and his like rematch, yeah. Uh like it was very much not a lot of animation was in that when she like hit poked him and then he just fell off the cliff. Correct. That's what that's a lot, like there's a lot of that. And it's if you if you watch anime or in you enjoy like in when an anime like that comes out, like I literally have uh because I wanted to do a video on it. I don't know how far I've haven't gotten far in the script, but one of the first things I wrote down is like in the first four minutes, you realize what kind of show this is gonna be. Within the first four minutes. In the first four minutes, you realize Ryuko was eating a lemon. I did actually, uh yeah. It was pretty weird, but yeah. In the first four minutes, you realize what kind of show this is gonna be immediately. Yeah, dude, like in the opening where Gamagori was chasing after that infiltrator, dude, and you're seeing what's going on, you're like, oh, it's like this. Because he jumps out the window to meet the dude downstairs, and it's just a PNG just also following him down. It's it's great. Oh, I I I remember, I I I believe I remember anyway, when when the uh infiltrator was running down the stairs, you could hear Gamagori like laughing as he was going down the levels, and then he opens it and he's just right there. It's so good, dude. But going back, but okay, so let's let's save some of that talk. So Gynex was also sued because they refused to accept an option, which apparently they had already agreed to, losing them more money. And then in 2016, Gynex was sued by Studio Kahahara for a hundred million for royal for unpaid royalties in an agreement that Karahara would earn royalties on the incomes and pro so Studio Kahara, I think, is owned by Hadekiano. So he left Gynax, started his own studio, and was like, hey, I'm gonna take the stuff I made with me. Uh, but if you do anything with, like, you still like everything that I've created with you guys, you're still gonna be making raking and money. I want, like, because I created these and I have like a say in it, I want you to be paying me on those royalties. Apparently, Gynax never bothered to pay them. And by the way, the Gynex studio was apparently in some fucking closet. Like the like offices of Gynex were apparently in a fucking closet for like a good couple of years. So if you went to go look to see where the Gynax studio was, it would just take you to like a shitty building that had like maybe two stories. It was one of those anime buildings, you know, like the ones where there's like super shitty and like the walls are thin, that kind of a thing. Yeah. So Gynex will, you know, aren't doing well. So in like let's see, um, yeah, their last anime was in 2015, their last film was in 2009, but that's just a Gordon Laghan. That was just a Gwynlagan recap. And then their last OVA or ONA was in 2016 to 2018, which by the way, six episodes took you three years. That's kind of weird. Takes you three fucking years to come out with six episodes. Okay. Yeah. Anyways, so Gyna was a subsidiary to Gynax. Um, but they went, yeah, we don't want to fuck with Gynax no more. So they just split off, and now they're called, um, I think they're called Gyna. Uh, and then the last one is Hadekiana, uh, Hadekiano's studio, Studio Karahara, which they are known for like Shin Gonzilla, Shin Common Rider, and the Ava Tetalogy, which is like the four Ava movies. So if you if if Hadekiano does anything, it'll be with Studio Kara Kahara. So that's basically where I want to point it at, is that Gynax was where everything started, but these guys basically went, let's do our own thing. Because after I think it was Guren Lagan, after Guren Lagan, how do you say his name? I'm just gonna call him Imashi. Uh Imashi basically he went, let's do something else. They did Panny and stocking. Panny and stalking is actually pretty popular, including the dub, surprisingly. Oh yeah, dude. What back in the day when I watched Panny and Stocking, it was the dub, and it was actually pretty good. Yeah, so like very true, very true. Uh the transformation sequences were right. Yeah, no, those are so like yeah, Gynax is known for the like their them their main shows or like that they're known for is Neon Genesis, Gorin Lagon, Panny and Stalking, right? So basically, basically, like, you know, for Neon Genesis, uh Hiroki and uh Utsuka, they didn't they had some say and Sui, but it was mainly Hideki Ano's baby. But this isn't a Hideki Ano or his episode, a Neon Genesis episode. This is a trigger episode. So basically, after they were done uh with that, they did a couple other things, they took on work at other studios and that kind of thing. But he these two were finally given the opportunity to do their own thing, which was Gurin Lagan. Gorin Lagon blew the fuck up. Gren Lagan was popular, like, and I think it was an uphill battle, but I think after people started tuning in, it basically be like people were like, yo, this is what's up. And a little backstory for Imashiza, he um uh let's see, he worked under the legendary Yoshir Yoshiniro. I can't say this. Uh Yoshinori Kanada. Yeah. So he's a legendary Japanese artist, and I'm sure if we got into him, he's basically like one of the grandfathers of anime kind of like the Astro Boy guy. So he's Oh Astro Boy, okay. No, he's not that guy, but he's like as influential as that guy. Okay. So yeah, he worked under him for a while. So these two left Gynax in 2011, and they came out with uh they created Trigger in I think it was 2012, but their first anime wasn't until 2013, which was Killa Kill. Now, let's get into Trigger. Like, what do you guys have to say? Now, there's a couple of things I have to kind of uh put out there. When you see a um trigger property, if you see something like Edge Runners, Kill a Kill, those were cre those are by this guy. That's his art that you're seeing. But if you see something like Darling and the Franks, it's not written by him, and it's also not drawn by him. So that's why it has a different feel, and I think that's why I don't want to bother with it. But I know you guys watched it, right? Did you watch it, Baker? Uh, Darling and the Frank. Uh, I tried to. Um, I watched probably three or four episodes, but it just wasn't doing too much for me. So I can't really say too much on it. Okay. Because he did do the um Star Wars Visions, he did the twin ones. I know you I know you hate it. He also, so yeah, and he also spearheaded Edge Runners. He also did Pro Mare, which we were supposed to watch, but we ran out of time. Uh he did this one, Space Patrol Luluko. I don't know. But yeah, he's basic basically Killa Kill, Pro Mare, and Cyberpunks. Like he has a recognizable style, which you can agree because he also those are also his um uh with Gurin Lagan and Panty and Stocking. But apparently the Panty and Stocking one was because he wanted to have an Americanized feel to the character designs, so that's why he drew them like that. He did a good job, I have to say, honestly. Are you a panty and stocking fan, Sherm? I don't care for it, no. Okay. But yeah, when I when I was watching a little bit of Gurin Lagan with you guys and I was watching Kill A Kill, I was like, dude, some of these designs almost look the same, but you can still tell they have their own personality and are different. Um kind of like the guy who like gets naked. What was his name? The Nudest to be. Yeah, nude this multiple people get naked. Yeah, there's just a few members of the city. The the teacher, the undercover teacher. I don't know. I don't remember that motherfucker's name. Okay, so I I haven't watched Kill a Kill since like I think a year after it aired. So like I I'm pulling from rough memories here. But like, okay, so Jose, I have to ask you, how did you feel in the first scene where he reveals who he's with, where he's like slowly stripping away? I loved it. It was so great. Good, good. Okay, but like that guy reminds me of this guy, right? Like they're almost kind of the same, but you can tell they're not the same care, like they're not the same character. Like they have different personalities and all that, but they kind of are drawn similarly, you know what I mean? I I can't really say I see the parallel between uh the teacher with Nude this the beach and uh Machina. I can't really say my motherfucking boy Machina? Did I get the name wrong? You got all the letters right in the wrong fucking order. Kamina. Okay, my bad. It's been a little bit brother. Sorry. I remember fucking respect. Well, throw viral up there. Yeah, viral. Man, you haven't even gotten to the best parts of viral. No, I haven't. What are you looking for, Doug? The teacher. Name's not coming. I know. We're just getting a little creepy, creepy teacher. When I said Makina, I'm thinking of like the Final Fantasy Zero character. Monkey, I'm sorry. I'm surprised you had all the letters right in the wrong order. Yeah, I don't know, dog. It's been a little bit. Put some respect on my boys. Yeah, yeah, I know. He's cool. Who are you? Uh if you just look up uh where are you trying to find the teacher or are you looking for? I was trying to show you the comparison between the two. Yeah, so like creepy teacher. Yeah, it's like they look a little bit alike, but you can still tell that they're you're their own characters and they look unique. Which for a for a worst artist, you would basically just redraw the characters like a fairy tale kind of guy. But this guy can still draw the same looking character, but you're still like, oh, that one's from Kill A Kill, that one's from Gur and Lagan, and that one's from Cyberpunk. You know what I mean? Like, he's a talented artist, and even though he kind of draws the same design, he still makes them unique enough where you're not like, oh, it's just the same characters, he's just doing the same thing again, kind of like Naruto. When he like tried to move on to his next manga, and you're just like, this kind of feels the same. Or Boroto, where you're just like, oh, this is just Shukumaru again. Worst design. I I would say the new Shukumaru is a worse design, in my opinion. His Shikamaru's kid, just worse Shukumaru. When it comes to like Kamina and uh you mean Machina? Oh, it's Machina? Oh, well thanks. I got it right on the first try, baby. Uh when it comes to Kamina and like uh the head of nudist beach, right? I I just I I can't quite say I see what you're talking about. Because like I just I know them as different characters, it just doesn't you know what I mean. I well when I was like looking at them, like the first thing I saw when I was uh watching Killakill, I was like, he kind of just looks like the other guy from Girl and Lagan. But when I actually went to go look him up, I was like, oh no, they just look similar enough, but once you actually take a look at them side by side, you're like, they're completely different. That's kind of what I meant. Is like if you go and look at a trigger property, you're gonna be like, oh, isn't this just that guy from that other show? And it's like, no. And then you start going down like the trigger stuff, you're like, oh, they're they're oh no, they're just ki unique character designs, they kind of look alike. And that's what I mean. He has a recognizable style. You know what I mean? He has a recognizable style that you can only find by him. Which is kind of I could probably give you that. In terms of it being like a recognizable style, yeah. I could see what you're talking about. You are you kind of in agreement, Sherm? Yeah, he is and but like he also is um Um, I don't think he wrote Kill a Kill or Gur in Lagun, but they still work. Like it is off the wall, balls, crazy, dumbass shit. Like we talked about. In the first four minutes, you get some really stupid stuff and kill a kill, and you're just like, all right, I'm strapped in. Let's go. All speed bumps ahead. Doesn't matter. I'm about to get a concussion. Like when you okay, let me tell me about like when you first cause you were telling me a little bit about when you first watched Gurren Lagon and Kill a Kill. Like what what was that like? Uh Gurren Lagon was the first like traditional anime I watched, aside from like Yu-Gi-Oh Pokemon Dragon Ball. I think I might have seen some episodes in Arto. Like it was it was wild that someone recommended that to me as my first anime. Fucking great recommendation, by the way. Man, that fucking thing keeps you strapped in your seat the whole time. Like the first we did a rewatch of the first, I don't know, I think. Did you get to the part with the with the character that passes? We got to the part, I wanna say it was maybe the episode after the bathhouse, I believe. Yeah, we might not have gotten there yet, but like also he thought the bathhouse recap scene. He also thought the recap scene was filler, so I think he may have skipped it in Killer Kill. Because I didn't skip it, and then we were like, oh, do you remember what I'm talking about? Remember you were like, Oh, I think this- I watched the bathhouse scene when I originally watched it. In Killer Kill? No, but I remember you were like, Oh, this might be filler, you might want to skip it. And then I was like, Oh, let's just kind of leave it. And even their recap, like, what like was a minute long, and then it's like, all right, here's the rest of the episode, and you're like Are you thinking of the kill a kill up? Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. I mean, I guess they twice, I think about it. Because you were like, this had to be censored, and I'm like, doesn't look very censored to me. Oh, that was oh, you're talking about that bath. Yeah. I thought you were talking about the Girl in Lagon one. No, no, I haven't watched Girl in Laghan. Okay, so funny story. Okay. There's a recap there's a recap at the beginning of one of the episodes that when I watched it, I think I legitimately might have skipped it. Oh, because it's like it recaps for like a minute and then it's like, hope you didn't think this was a recapped episode. Joke's on you. I think I legitimately might have skipped that motherfucker, because that's that's the infamous bathhouse scene with uh Sotsky and Raggio where uh she's doing some some questionable things. Oh, okay. Gotcha. And I don't remember seeing that originally, so I always thought I just it was censored where I watched. I wouldn't blame you for thinking that. I wouldn't. Um it was very risque and also kind of weird. Dude, kill a kill treads the line with like censorship the whole time, dude. Like, some of the most absurd shit will happen just to like censor stuff. That's why I like it though. Like at a certain point, and I told Jose this when we were watching it, like, I don't even fucking care that they're half naked. It's fucking awesome, whatever they're doing. Like, the fucking action is great. I care about all these characters, fucking side characters that normally just get shoved off to the side, still fucking matter, like at near the end of the episode, end of the series, like fucking the Elite Four. Any other anime, they would have been relegated to side characters that stood on the sidelines. Fucking Elite Four are all in it. Yeah, dude, they fucking Takerata. Do you remember fucking Takerata? The guy that runs Osaka that's just has money guns. Oh no, dude. Yeah, he had um Takarata. Takerata fucking comes back later. He's the one that built the ship for them. Like, just the the attention to fucking detail of like giving all these characters recognizable personalities, not shoving them off to the side. Oh, he did show he was like, You need to hear this in English for a minute, and it's like, what's up, bitches? It's Takarata. We're talking watching Takerata in English. Okay, okay, that's fine. That's fine. What was the other thing? Um, you were gonna show me one of the um live action like uh voice actors dueling. It was um oh yeah, and then I gotta show one other thing. Anyway, okay, make a list. So yeah, they just they have such care when they make things. It's almost like they're not forgetting about shit. Like they they'll pull it back in. It's like Oda. Oda doesn't fucking forget. Motherfucker got this fucking steel trap of a mind. Never fucking forgot. Fucking 700 chapters later, fuck yeah, I remembered that happened. I'm tying that bitch in. But I think this is like to Imashi's credit and Utsuka, because I think he's the one that keeps everything together. Uh, because like Imashi is just all he's basically just a character designer that was given the uh chance to direct something, and then he directed some of the best parts of like Gorin Lagan, apparently. According to the IMDB, according to Mal, and according to like any list, he directed some of the highest-rated episodes in Gorilla Gone, and people love those, they're the most memorable ones. Like, that makes sense, you know? If he's coming up with a bunch of this stuff, like he has to be, you know, it has to be good, and apparently it is. Uh and I just kind of may indeed be a talented man, yeah, you might say. I talk a lot about how I like really recognizable or like lines delivered in anime, and even though if you heard them out loud, you'd be like, Man, that's fucking cringe as shit. Like I was telling you about how when um Idle Death Gamble fights Electric Man um for the next four minutes and eleven seconds, yeah. Akari's immortal. Like, if I just wait out that four minutes and eleven seconds, I can beat him. But that's how losers think. And that's amazing. Like, that's such a good line. Yeah, like I think some of the best lines in Duran Lagan and Kill the Kill. I don't remember much from Edge Runners. Edge Runners was a fucking like weird trance state where I sat down and watched binge 10 episodes because I was like, I'm never gonna watch this otherwise, I gotta get through it. I see. So I don't remember a lot. There weren't any lines like that, but just but I feel like Edge Runners is a different beast because it's they're tying that into an already established universe. Um, and they kind of have to like shoehorn and tie into the cyberpunk universe. So like I feel like I feel I don't know like all what all he did in Cyberpunk, but I I it didn't have that feel of like dumbness that something like Goran Lagan or Killer Kill did or Panny and Stock. Whenever I'm seeing stuff about like Edge Runners, uh me being the Twitter creature that I am, um, usually it's just them talking about like the emotional shit, especially near the end. They're not like quoting lines said or whatever. It's it's about like the sadness. Yeah. And like that, you know, like Edge Runner was Edge Runners was good, but like like he said, it's you're not thinking, you know, you don't go back to it with the fondness that you would have for like Kill a Kill or Girl in the Gone. And he especially hates that Star Wars one, which I didn't watch it, I didn't bother to, like, I just could not, I could not. But I kind of want to watch Pro Mere. I want to see what that's about. Can you guys tell me a little bit without spoiling it? He doesn't know it, he's never seen it. Okay, so what can you tell me without spoiling it? Is it like on the same level as Kill a Kill and Girl in the Gone? Yeah, okay, so it's definitely something we need to get to. Okay, so that's what I mean. Is like there's this recognizable style and there's this recognize like you want more of it, but it just seems like this, like, but we don't have a lot of it. So it kind of feels like it it's a process for him, especially because I feel the last thing we got from him to kind of have that I I think you need to stop looking at it as Imachi doing everything, like, especially considering these are all original works, like this is a studio, right? Well that's why I consider them a studio and not like I I don't yeah, um consider them like Oda, Gage, uh Eric uh Horikoshi. Like there's no I've never heard names attached to any okay. It's just I I know there are specific directors on these on these, but that's what I'm saying. It feels like a group effort. These like fucking I think they're more than seven dudes now. I think I heard they're like 20, 30, maybe up to 50 people. It feels like it's a group effort, and the fact that these motherfuckers can come together to make these decisions and make quality products time and time again. Like, look at this compared to like fucking Disney studios where it's just executives sitting in a boardroom. Even those dumb motherfuckers can't put their heads together and make a quality movie. Even their 3D animated stuff isn't like what it used to be. Yeah, like what fucking 3D animated Disney movie have you been excited for recently with all the money they have access to? I feel like some good people. Moana Moana was I think Moana was the last lauded one. Dude, it it is so weird to me because like I'll randomly see that like there's new animated like movies coming out, and it's just like no one fucking talks about them. No one does. Who cares? That's what I was talking about with like no one gives a shit, and it's just it's kind of depressing. Yeah, that was when I talked about Wish, you know, like everybody was kind of like this is ass, and everybody had their own take on why it was bad, but like nobody wanted to watch Wish. Um, okay, so I'll stop talking about it like it's a mashi, I'll start talking about it as triggers. So that's right. Motherfucking triggers uh Salem put acknowledge your tribal trigger. All right, so going away from Emashi and just like trigger overall, we got kill a kill when supernatural battles become commonplace. Space patrol. Never watched uh supernatural battles. I heard things about Luluco. Didn't you say you watch Kisnavir? What is Kisnavir? Oh god, wait, they did that shit? Yeah, okay. Kisnavir 2016. All right, let's get into it. Is this so is this does it have mechs in it? Does this have mechs in it? I need to know. Okay, no, no, why not? Uh well, uh Kisnaver, right? Anyway, go ahead is a story about how apparently there's these group of I believe they're high school age individuals, and they come in a variety of flavors. Basically, all of them I I believe were implanted with a certain device, and if any of them feel pain, everyone else in that circle feels the same. Now, this seems like a disadvantage. Why does this happen? Um, now the here's the problem, right? Do they not explain it? I couldn't finish the shit. Oh. Um, now don't get me wrong, the designs are great and all, but like, dude, I got more than halfway through, and it's at least the me of that time felt like this wasn't going anywhere. Right. You know. What so what did they do? They they all feel the same thing. That's a good question. You got two episodes into this 12-episode banger, and you don't know what happened. Banger might be a little the the opening's alright, I'll I'll give it that. I remember the opening. Okay. Um, but but no, like we we can steer off it. I just okay. You were the one that had seen it. Yes. So I had to know. Now the problem is that if I don't remember Jack all but what was going on in the show, I I couldn't say that I recommend watching it. I might get to it. So there's a guy that loves to be hurt in this group of people, by the way. Now that was interesting. So an Iragama Gori, if you will. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Except uh if if he gets injured, everyone else does. So I mean, yeah. Or a darkness, maybe. Yeah. Okay. Let me ask uh one masochist, yeah. He's always covered in bandages. Yeah. What else? You just wrap it up and that'll heal itself. What else? Throw a suit on it. What else have you guys watched that's triggered? Uh Kill a kill. I've heard about Luluko. I kind of want to check it out. I think it was airing on Tunami back when I was. Have any of us watched My Little Witch Academia? I feel like that's up our alleys, and I haven't watched it. Like, honestly, from because I I looked up a list beforehand because I was like, okay, what exactly have I watched from the studio? So obviously I've watched Kill a Kill. I watched a small chunk of uh Grenlachan. You watched a small chunk of Kisnavir? Yeah, yeah, I did watch that, huh? Kis Naver and then Panty and Stalking way back in the day. But other than that, I was looking through the list and it's like, I know these fucking shows, but I just haven't watched them. Like Gridman, I recognize that. Wait, they're making go go back up. Delicious in a Dungeon. What's the Japanese name? Oh, Dungeon Meshi. Dungeon Meshi? Why? That's the one where he's like in the dungeon and they're eating the monsters. Right. Why are they on that now? No idea. It doesn't thought that was a different studio. No idea. It doesn't, it does not have the EMShi style. It definitely looks like a very soft, like if you take a look at this right here. I mean, that's just that's the manga. Yeah. That's a different guy. Yeah, well, what I'm saying is like it's adapted from the manga, but it's very clearly um drawn like the manga. So it's not it's not like an emashi style. So you wouldn't think at first glance that this is like related to, you know, this would be by trigger, but it is, and I would say it's kind of a decent one. I would check it out. I kind of got like 16 episodes in, and I was like, I think I'm just gonna let it play out until the end, and then I'm gonna binge it later. Because that was one where it's like every episode kind of leaves you hooked, and it's like one of those where I'm like, god damn it. Well, I mean, to their credit, too, like since this is like already an established like manga, I mean, you know, good on them for trying to stick to their style in the manga, right? Like they didn't like completely change shit or whatever, you know. Uh Darling and the Franks? What do you guys what do you guys gotta say about that? Uh Darling and the Franks is good until it fumbles its ending or really bad. Are people uh Do you want to get into the Darling and the Franks ending? Is too is Zero Two or what's her name? No, that's she overrated. No, perfectly rare. Let's get Martine on here. What does Martine think? Do you do we do we want to get into the bad ending? We don't have to. I know what happens. Aliens come and then she turns into a ship and then has like a flesh face. They're like floating through space, and her body's back on the planet. I don't know how it works. That sounds stupid. It's real bad. Um okay. SS Gridman. I was doing a lot of dishes. Anyway, so I thought Gridman was pretty cool because they adapt that what tongue uh tonsatsu. Oh, satsu. Yeah, so it was originally a tokosatsu thing, and then they kind of picked it up. Well, so Sherm, uh you have watched it? Yeah, he's watching, yeah. He was the one that told me to watch Gridman, and then I tried, but I put it on English, so I don't think I gave it a fair shot. I have to rewatch it. Uh I don't remember a lot. There's a there's a like schoolgirl that has the ability to she like carves monsters and then these monsters get made into the monster of the week for like a budget kind of uh Outranger's horse to fight. It's pretty good. I recommend it. It's got it's got very good artwork. I was a little off put by the like because they really do the like, hey, it's just a dude in a rubber suit, but they made that in the style. Oh, that actually sounds pretty good, dude. So like it's it it looks ridiculous with the like CGI monster like walking like a dude in a rubber suit, but like it fits because they're trying to emulate that. I I could get into that, I think. Which is actually like very, very like unique that a show is like trying to reproduce say like tokusatsu, which is very funny to me. They didn't go, let's just do a straight anime, what we can't do in a live action. They went, no, let's make an anime but emulate the tokusatsu elements. Yeah, it's the problem I always have with like Godzilla. I always talk to you about it's like it's so close to man in a rubber suit, but we've changed it to just pure CGI. Right. Can I have a cooler Godzilla? I know you people like the old Godzilla design, but can I get can give give my man some reach? So man's not a T-Rex, Tyranno Arms, yeah. So and his uh luscious hips as well. Like when he swims through the water, looks fantastic. He's on when he's on land and he's just fucking doing this. I can't. I can't with the you like the Toho one better, or do you like the uh legendary one? Which one's the Toho? The Japanese one, the original Japanese one. Any of the Japanese Godzillas. I mean, that one was fine, but again, it's the fucking T-Rex arms that I can't. What about the legendary ones? Those are the American ones. Uh, you'd have to show me a picture. You haven't seen the American one? I'm pretty sure the were these moot like American movies that were made. Yes. I'm pretty sure it's got the same problem. Dude, the one made in 1998. He's got a little bit more, but like if you go to that picture right next to it for the YouTube video, it's like I can't, man. Like, slim my boy down. He he's not it's not 1940. Man got on the treadmill. He's lean, he's a green fight. He should have some muscles. Yeah. Give me a fucking proper, like, oh yeah, don't give me a dinosaur. Give me a fucking lizard. Uh you got you guys said uh Baker, you said you didn't like the uh sh uh Shin Godzilla. No, the Zilla from 1998. So, okay. I remember 1998 Godzilla specifically because of Matthew Broderick. I had the 1998 Godzilla board game. Well, aren't you fancy? I bet you play it. I threw it away. I bet you played that one time. No, I threw it away. I was like, I'm not playing. Well, I have Godzilla 1998 on VHS at home today. Can you play this VHS? I could. You have a VCR? I do. That's great. Oh. Do you got a do you got a CRT? No, unfortunately. He doesn't win. Okay. But like, yeah, like Tokutatsu, Darling and the I'm sorry, uh Diazamon, Gridman. It's weird to me they took a three-year break between Gridman and Diazimon. Because I wanted to watch Diazimon because that's just a follow-up, or it's like in the SSS universe. Well, they were doing uh BA and they did um Prom Air. Yeah, well, apparently the Gridman is owned by like by somebody else. Anyways, um with these small well, like they don't have a big catalog of stuff, but with these couple of things that they have, do you think they're gonna be uh do you think they're gonna be remembered as a big studio? Absolutely. I mean they're not a big studio, but they're one of the best studios. Like I I would if we're talking about a tier list of animation studios, UFOotable's probably up there. I think Cloverworks does some amazing stuff and then Trigger's absolutely trigger might not have an extensive catalog, but I can point to like five like five or six of those of the like I don't know, I can't count ten total and go that those are all banged. And if somebody wants to split hair and say, like, well, you technically can't include Girl and Lagon and Um Panty and Stocking, no, I will. Fuck you. I mean, we'll have a new panty panty and stocking. Yo, if they make new panty and stocking in the kill a kill art style, oh, I'd be so in. That would be actually pretty great. I would I would love to watch that. Like, I don't want them to do the panty and stocking like we had we wanted to make this an Americanized. Oh, you don't want to see that? No, because we have. Well, I mean, uh regardless of whether they go for like a more current style or the style they used back then, it doesn't matter to me either way. I mean, as long as again, as long as it's good, uh that's all I really care about. Yeah, I feel like all these shows, like, we we watch some fucking hot dog shit. Each of us have. Like Simfo gear. I can look at all these fucking shows and say, all those are bangers, and the ones I haven't seen, I want to watch them because the rest of them are fucking bangers. Only problem I have is Darling and the Frank's. But do you say it's worth the 24 episodes? That's also A1 Pictures. It was a dual collaboration, so I don't know, man. I see another name next to it. Uh maybe A1 Pictures fumbled at it. Yeah, yeah, they wrote that ending. Ruler's the trigger ending, they went to space and there were aliens. That was the like they all these shows, they fucking crank it to a fucking 11 at the end. And I love it, except for Darling and the Frank. Because what at the end of Kill a Kill, like they're fighting what the uh the original life fiber and uh No, they're fighting original life fiber, infuse Raggio in space. Okay, yeah. Ryuko takes all the life fibers from all the Goku uniforms and infuses them into herself to make Senkat stronger. Imagine taking what you just said and having some and then explaining that to someone and be like, Can you do you know do you hear anything? And they're like, What? How does it work? How do they go to space? They they can't breathe the there's no air. Don't fucking worry about it. Doesn't fucking look cool. Did you have a good fucking time watching it? Of course. Of course I did. Does the music slap? Yes. Like I didn't get any sleep because I was trying to emotional. I didn't even talk about the fucking music, dude. The music, like when it's building up to like the thing that's gonna happen, like the scene, either the fight where they're both like facing off, the music just subtly kicks in, like the the music starts playing, but you're waiting for that chorus to drop. You know the one. I do. Don't lose your way. And then when the fight finally fucking happens, it slams in. Oh my god, dude. Every time, every time the music came in. Fucking pinnacle. You get hit with all this energy and you're like, fuck yes, and then you see cool shit. All the music's fan fucking task. And that's for first budget of fucking probably ten grand, ten dollars, probably. God damn, they knocked that shit out of the fucking trying to think of like any of the music that didn't like hit because like all the devas have great themes too. Raggio's theme. Raggio's theme goes so fucking hard. Okay. I might have to go back and we're listening to Raggio's theme before we leave this place. Keep that list going, Sherm. I forgot the other three things. Do you think I got you? I remember good. Okay, so let me ask you what's the difference what's the difference between Kill a Kill and like let's say my next anime from Trigger should be Darling and the Franks? Because those are the I think those don't do that. I know you'll hate it. Because I know those are the two biggest ones that people know when you see when you talk about Studio Trigger, people are like Gynex does not own fucking Gurren Lagon to me. That is 100% a trigger joint. Sure. You can't convince me otherwise. So when I say the two best trigger shows, it's always gonna be Gurren, Kill a Kill. Uh Edge Runners is probably in the top five. Little Witch Academia, foras like if you pull up, like just hover over the title of Little Witch Academia, like you look at that and you go, Man, that that wouldn't be a hype show. Like it's just fucking little girls doing magic. Wait, are there hype moments in the show? Oh what? Oh yeah, it pops off. Okay, because like uh you they're just they're just doing Hogwarts and like uh I'll admit it's a little slow. Okay, like the beginning is just hey, we're doing slice of life episodic stuff. That's what I thought it was was more slice of life. There is a narrative through point to it that they climax. That trigger loves to climax. Trigger loves to climax. You heard it here for what I do like about this art style is that if you showed this to like in a an American parent and you're like, hey, would you let your kids watch this? They'd probably be like, Yeah, maybe. I I don't because it doesn't look like an anime. Uh it's also very I don't think there's a lot of lewdness in that ball. That's pretty very clean from what I remember. That's probably like an American's dream, like uh a conservative's dream, like their dream anime is just like, oh, but there's still witches though. I mean, they have short skirts, I guess. Okay, but let's just okay, let's just get off of politics. But let's just say little witch academia for as like I'm looking at some of these designs, I'm looking at some of these stills. Yo, this looks pretty good. That's one of that's like the big wand. Big wand, they have wands. Look at the design on that thing. Okay, okay. Damn. I I don't know why I've been putting this off. I think our friend Tristan told me to watch this and I still haven't. Oh, Tristan, watch it. I hate it. Oh throw it in the trash. Every now and then he'll watch like it'll be like uh it'll be like Big Strong Man. Sometimes she'll tell me to like watch something and I'll be like, uh, I don't know, your tastes are kind of iffy, and then I'm just like, yo, training day was actually a pretty good movie. Uh I can't be that mad. I hear he always talked about Moshoka Tensei, and that's why I watched it. Yeah, dude. He was right. I hate to admit it, but I think he liked it. Oh, what, Little Witch Academia? No, I don't know. Oh, Moshoka Tensei. Oh, I'll tell you right now he didn't. Man was full in on. Did you know that Rudy just keeps a pair of panties from Roxy? Like, did I ever tell you the story of when we lived together? Uh and uh it was during uh My Dress Up Darlings release. Okay. He came to me and he's like, Yo, there was a scene when Maren jumped on his lap and dude had a boner, and I was like, Is this your level of comedy, man? Like I didn't say that, but I was just like, Oh yeah, that sounds pretty funny. And I watched it and I was like, This is like nothing, or you're paying attention to the wrong part of this moment right now. He may have been looking at something else during that. I'm just saying. I mean, I will say I mean she's got a great ass. I'm not gonna just I will say that show people could say like you read too much into Darling uh Dress Up Darling, but there it's kind of implied that there's a bit more like there's a heavier narrative and like more. Look, I'm just gonna say, like, Darling uh not Darling, I keep wanting to say Darling and the Franks. My Dress Up Darling. My Dress Up Darling, if you watch My Dress Up Darling, on the surface it's like girl wants to cosplay, guy can make it it it's fan surface the anime if you're just like glancing at it. But if you if you watch it, man, it's a lot of deeper deep. There's like deeper themes, themes about like dreams, life and death, and like what you want to do, like what your calling is, like just normal shit people like existential dread. But you know, jump on jump on and go. So the mangaka actually wanted to have a decently deep story, not just horny bait, and there you go. Yeah, but he horny baits you the whole time. I like when mangakas have a story to tell you, but will also throw you something to keep you there. Like, man, I can tell you right now, if Nami and Vivi and Ryuji and Nico Robin and Boa Hancock weren't in One Piece, it would be less interesting to me. I see. That doesn't mean I wouldn't have watched it, just might have taken longer for me to start. It helps a little bit. Yeah, just just a little something. Here's a question I have. Should we watch one, two, or a quick one? I should watch One Piece. I agree. Let's get into it. Six years later, we'll be done. Do you anyway? Uh I was gonna say one episode a week, boys. We can do this. Holy shit, we wouldn't we can do this. We'd be 30 years, 30 years podcasting and we'd be like, dude, we just passed the 52 weeks in a year divided by 1100. We'll be like, uh, what are we doing? It might take a little bit, but 30 years in, we'll be like, damn, water seven was really good, huh? So what I was gonna say is like we we gather every Saturday, we watch a couple of things depending on the time. Hopefully, you know, like I said, I get my Saturdays off soon. But like let's say, should we come back to trigger, just specifically trigger? I don't I won't bring up Imashi, I won't bring up uh Gynax, it'll just be trigger. Should we come back to trigger once we watch uh maybe five or all of these? Like Diazamon, Gridman, BA, uh I finally watch Frank, um not Frank, but Darling and the Frank. Uh Pluto uh Space Patrol Luluco. Yeah, Luluko, Promere, and then we have to watch those two Star Wars episodes. I don't think it needs a revisit. I just like to passionately talk about how good this studio is because of the quality of most of their work. Right. As uh small as their catalog could be said to be. Right. Like I if you don't if you haven't seen Girl and Lagan, watch it. If you haven't seen Kill O Kill, watch it. Those are the two I always you can dabble in the other stuff if you've enjoyed those. Uh they might not all be for you. Like SSS Gridman, honestly, if I wasn't so deep into watching anime, I might have gotten turned off by the Tokusatsu stuff. Like it's hard to say. Darling and the Franks isn't for a lot of people. Well, clearly you were not uh endorsing it to Jose. I was I just I just know. Oh, you know I'm gonna hate it? Yeah. Okay. It's just like when Joseph watch it though. It's just like when you recommend uh Isekai and then you're like, I know you're not gonna watch it. It's like, no, you're right. I won't. I will not watch this. Thank you for saving me time. Yeah. So like what what do you what can you tell me to try and get me to like watch Darling and the Franks, though? Like, if I run out of everything and I'm like the only thing I'm left with is Darling and the Franks, like what would be some of its positives? Do you want uh I don't know, it deals a lot with like I know it's a bunch of fucking high schoolers dressing up in their little school uniform, like so it has some deep parts to it in that the main character is like very isolated from everyone. Like he's a terrible like pilot of these mechs. Like everyone he tries to like ride in the robot because they have like a linking system, it might be an allegory for sex. Let's not get into that right now. Wait, it's not a Pacific rim thing. Stamens and pistols. Let's get into it. It's something alright, Jose. It's not a Pacific rim thing. No, no, you don't uh they're doing doggy style on the robot. Yeah, but they're not touching each other, so it's clean. Anyway, he's he's like a very he's like a tragically written character. It might hit for some people, it might bounce off. It if it doesn't hit with you originally, and then you don't like like the other supporting cast members, I it's just gonna miss for you entirely. And that's what I think's gonna happen with you. Where you're gonna be like, I've seen this character before, it doesn't do anything for me. Most of these other characters I don't really like. Most of the fucking side characters I don't really like either. There's a couple, and then like we're just doing episodic stuff until like a greater through line happens, and then the ending just we we don't talk about thruno. So no, I don't think if you think you can identify with that kind of story or you'd find enjoyment in it, you can watch it, but you can watch it if you want. I don't care, but I don't think you're gonna like it. Okay, so you thoroughly warned me I will probably not like this. Thanks. I will keep it in mind correct. Now I'll watch it next. Now I'll watch now. This will probably be the next on this fucking podcast next week. Zero two is the worst character, and I'll be like, knew you were gonna fucking hate it. You know how you thoroughly try to like convince me to watch some of these great animes? I'm just like, I don't know, man, but you tell you're really hitting hard how I shouldn't watch this. I'm like it's like I was so disappointed. At the end of Darling and the Franks, I was like, man, he was like right there, and then we just fucking stumble. I don't know. Is it that meme where like the guy's riding his bike and he puts a stick in front of it? No, it's it's not even that. It's the fucking horse. It's like beginning perfectly drawn horse, middle sketched out horse, ending fourth grader drew the horse. Okay. I'm glad that's so listeners. Uh it may or may not hit for you. It may, it may hit for you. Stop at like 17 or 18, you can but A1 Pictures was involved, so maybe they were the part that's like it's a it's a trigger-ass ending. I know. We're just dropping the bit. It's not even A1 pictures. I know I know they borked that one. I told you, every time they go to fucking space, what happens at the end of uh Darling and the Franks? They go to fucking space. Yeah. I know Trigger was in on that bullshit. I can't wait till uh Little Witch Academia just ends in space. Do they go to space in that? I think sure. No, no, but but they're right, they're riding around. There's a lot happening in the air. Oh, but they don't penetrate the atmosphere. Look, we're good. We're good. I think so. Yeah. I think it might all be on this. Maybe it might be it was a long time ago. Okay. Well, what about uh gridman? Uh I don't think gridman goes to space. I could be wrong. Really? Well, it's a tokusatsu, so like man gridman evaporated from my brain. Fair enough. Fair enough. I I mean uh my only real like familiarity with to-satsu is Common Rider, and the ones I've watched, they don't go to space. So I don't know. I don't know what my next anime is gonna be. What about you, Sharon? I mean, you baker. Son of a bitch. Okay, what about you, baker? Figure out a name. Wait, what was your Dune name? Brother, I don't know. All right, I have no idea. You gotta ask shit on that one. Let's kill that bit. Okay, okay. In any case, though. Um, okay, when it comes to trigger, the the fact that SSS Gridman apparently has a Tokusatsu vibe, you're selling me on it already. Like, I'd be willing to give it a go. And also, it's not even that fucking long either, thankfully. So episodes, right? Yeah, just for like the base one. And then I think uh when we were looking at there was like a second one, and they're even doing like a crossover between the first two. So, I mean, if I like it, there's gonna be plenty for me to consume. So I'll probably give that a shot if I'm being honest with you. Uh you know, and remember if you skip outros, intros, and recaps, you get like 19 19 to 20 minutes. So, and that's four hours. Jose, that's not gonna happen, Chief. It's not gonna happen. I need to see that well, I mean, if the openings are bad, I I'll skip them, but you know. Well, okay, so I think my next one will be I will give Gridman another shot. I remember watching Gridman and I was watching it in English, and I was like, man, my dishes really need cleaning. So, like, I didn't give it a fair chance. I didn't give it a fair chance. Something happened in it. I don't know. It's definitely not Eminence in the Shadow. Like, right. So I didn't think there might actually be something worth a damn in this versus Eminence and Shadow. Yeah, so like I didn't give Gridman a chance, and I think that's on me. I'm at fault. I shouldn't have done that to him. He has crowbar. Oh, don't don't even don't even play this game, Sherm. Come on. He says I am a domic. I yeah, yeah. He's so cringe. It's a good line, but that's about it. Let's get into the JJK's. Okay, so we're w last chance. This is gonna be JJK spoiler talk um for chapter two sixty one two sixty one. Yeah. Last chance. If you're still here by now, don't fucking blame me. Blame yourself. Anyways. I get a rip off your yeah, hell yeah, hell yeah, dog. Let's go. Hit it. Hit it and quit it. Alright. Alright. JJK is 261. What'd you think? Fuck I hit the mic twice. Fucking wild, man. I I assumed that when he was I assumed when I saw him, uh when I saw Gojo in the last chapter, I was like, dude, is he back? What what is this? Like what is what is happening right now? Right. And just for and then once you see like the little scars going across his head, you're like, no way. I 100% thought it was Kenjaku. I was like, holy shit, Kenjaku took over fucking Gojo. This is mad lady, bro. Okay. So I talked a lot about this with Salem. Salem was thoroughly confused. That's okay. I just have question marks over my head, dear listeners, so. Okay, you're just readjusting. So let's just get out in front of it. Before we go any further, my feelings on it are I know what happened. Like, I know that it's not Gojo returning. If at the end of this, Gojo somehow is magically fucking here, I don't care how, I'm mad. 100%. I don't want Gojo to come back. I don't need him to come back. He needs to- There there is n I have zero fucking care for that motherfucker. But guys, why don't you want him to come back? It's unnecessary. Uh so I think the I was thoroughly I was pretty fucking lost at what how his he got so Yuda is Yuda's soul is inside Gojo's body, is that correct? Correct. So Yuda does the does the little crow boy, does he swap them? Okay. So I need to explain this. If you don't understand that if you don't understand that it it's possible a lot of people did not understand. So basically what has happened is what has happened is that uh Okotsu, Yuta, he killed he killed Kenjaku in one of the last chapters. Basically what happened is uh Okotsu used uh Rika to I think eat Kenjaku, which basic which basically allowed Yuta to copy the ability of body hopping. Okay. So and then what they did was they took Gojo's body, they took it back to the nurse girl from season two. Right. Um Choko, I think. Yeah, I think so. They took him back to season two, and they also I think it's the guy. Uh do you remember during the um during the calling arc where there was that guy that maybe tried to trick uh Yuji uh and he was like making flaw that he could make flying apparently or something like that. Apparently he had a role to play. Anyways, what's happening is that Kenjaku is not back, Gojo's not back. What happened is that they took Gojo's body, they fixed it, patched it back up, took his brain out, put took out Yuta's brain out, put Yuta's brain inside of Gojo's uh body, and now what has happened is that Yuta and during the during the chapter, it's a lot of like what ifs, hey, if this happens, we need to have a backup. Gojo is so confident he's not gonna lose, he doesn't even want to think about it. Yeah, because it's like a flashback of them like planning two fights. Correct. And what what is happening, uh what basically happened is Yuta's worst fear came true. Gojo lost. Gojo lost, yeah. He got Okay, so he body swapped with Gojo, his brain is inside of Goja, patched up Gojo. Correct. What is explained in the chapter is that the Gojo's abilities are not uh abilities you can just acquire and copy their inherent to have correct, their inherent abilities passed down through bloodline, they are not uh abilities you can just copy. Even though it's kind of said that what's what's the guy who with cursed speech? Inumaki. Even though he can copy kind of like Inumaki's a little bit, it apparently the six eyes are such are a technique or something that is so ingrained in bloodline purity and all this other bullshit. Basically, basically what's going on is that those techniques that Gojo has are so ingrained uh with like what do you call them? Um six eyes. Yeah, the six eyes are basically inherent, they're not uh yeah, they're not something you can just pick up that he needs to transplant his brain into Gojo's body. So Gojo's body was patched up. Okay, so let's let's just stop there. I'm I'm here now. All right. I'm uh I kind of understood somehow he got in Gojo's body. Now it makes sense. Okay, so the rest of the chapter is like them discussing the morality of Yuta taking over Gojo's dead. I think this was masterfully done. I I was trying to explain it to Salem, the idea of Gojo being such a fucking like the pinnacle of Jujutsu sorcery, and the fact that no one ever like no one cared for him, paid attention to him or anything like that. He was all alone at the top, and Yuda was the only person that's like, man, Gojo's kind of a tragic fucking person. And remember, this this whole thing kicked off with Yuda. Like, even though we've been following Yuji for a majority of the story, this thing did kick off with Yuda. And for Yuda to come back and be like, look, I might be the only one that might be able to defeat Sukuna, I don't find that too off. Like, sure, we I know I remember a couple people hoping that we would get kind of like a Naruto where like Sukuna and Yuji would kind of like become one and bond, but like he made it abundantly clear from the get-go that Sukuna and Yuji were not gonna come become symbiotic, they were not gonna become venom, they were not gonna become friends. Yeah, this is somebody who is he loves to make people suffer, he loves to make them cry. It's evil incarnate and it's pure swarm. Correct. So the fact that Yuta has come back in Gojo's body and he now has the uh the ability to control Gojo's abilities, uh, all it really is is down to like what's gonna happen. Because we were making fun of the joke, we were making the joke that every week at for a good bit minute, Gage was introduced and like was bringing in all these characters like, oh, what about this dude with the trench coat? Like, hey, he's one of the best people around. Ah, he got like mopped in that by the end of the chapter. I think I was like the if you look top down at this where you're like, what was Gage doing? Like, did he have this plan from the beginning? I honestly think in the last, I don't know, let's say 10 chapters of like we're just fucking yucking people at Sakuna. I think he was kind of spinning his spinning his wheels where he's gonna do. And maybe you feel differently because I felt like it it's really like especially when they talk in the backstory, like that gets interspersed through these chapters. It's like, oh, well, we have a plan if Gojo fails, we have a plan if uh Lightning Dude, I always forget like Hashima. Kashimo fails if uh Idle Death Camel. Um Hakari. Hakari. If Hakari fails, if um it goes on and on. Like the judge, the the the guy that summons a courtroom as his fucking domain of uh the the shisty sorcerer as I like to call him, or the dude that had the like the beanie over his fucking face. Like, I felt like he was spinning his wheels narratively, where he was like, I don't know where to go with this, so I'm just gonna write it where I throw a character at him. He gets the shit kicked out of him, and then we'll just explain it with okay, so we have a plan in case that guy who's next on the chopping block. You know what I mean? Do you feel like Gage had an idea where he was going and he just felt the need to throw all these characters at Sakuna? So, okay, so I'm on um where I read weapon where I read my manga at. I'm not gonna say the name, but I'm sure lots of people know a couple of sites. Um, but I'm looking at their com I was looking at their comments, right? Here's one guy who basically says something along the lines of Welcome to the Jujitsukaizen manga, where all your favorite characters die because Sakuna needs to be the strong and UG needs to suffer. The past couple of months and years developing their individual stories all down the toilet, just to emphasize the big, mean, bad man is just big and mean. Like, do you feel this is where the manga has headed? Like, is this because I know this has a bit I caught up recently, so this all happened very quickly. Yes, I think he's right. But I I don't know. Like, is that Giga, like I said, is he is he taking his time week to week and thinking, Man, I can't figure out an idea on how to do This in a way that people will like, or is it he had this all planned from the beginning where he was gonna have Tsukuna run through these characters? I feel like a lot of mangaka. Um, I don't know about you, Baker. I don't know if you know the um I don't know if you can attest to this. Um, but I feel like a lot of mangaka, especially in the industry, are week to week, like they plot week to week. Like they might have an or overarching storyline and they're like, okay, I can maybe get this done within a within like the next five weeks, I can get this done, and then I can enter my next arc. So I don't know really where Gage was headed. Like, do you know what I'm trying to say? Like, they're week to week, so they're kind of just doing they're making this shit up as they go along. And I feel like Gage has been like trying to figure it out while he's still writing chapters. Yeah, so he's doing things on the fly. Yeah, yeah. Okay. So do you think it was him like agonizing over using Gojo to defeat Sukuna? And then finally he's like, Fuck it, man, I can't figure another way out of this. Let's just do it anyway. So kind of like Oda, he's always said, like, I know the ending, um, it's just the middle I keep uh what is it, inflating? Yeah, he's just like I keep inflating the middle because I keep getting more ideas and more narratives. I'm also hit kind of hitting 60. I should probably stop, but I can't. Because, you know, he's also doing this week to week. He's been saying like I should have been done within five years, but he's bloated it out for 20. So I think Gage has also kind of hit this wall where he's like, probably should have stopped. I probably should have. Because um, I think Jujutsu Kaisen was the original Yuta run. I think it was just supposed to end after that, after Jujutsu Kaisen Zero. I think it was just supposed to be done. But I think Joycea asked him, Do you want to keep going? This did number, right? And he was like, sure. Okay, so like, do you want it to end when uh Yuta and Gojo's body defeats Sakuna? So so I think I do, but a lot of people have been kind of saying Nobara's coming back. Now, where would that fit? Because we're at the end. This is he has said that he would have three major arcs, and this was right before he entered the Shibuya arc. He said, I'm gonna have three major arcs, Shibuya, calling, and then this. This should be the third arc, unless he's trying to count this and the calling a gauntlet match, correct final arc. Correct. So this should be the final arc. We should be done after this. Right. Well, I just don't know how you use Nobara. Like, unless she gets a major power up, gets bigger nails or a bigger hammer. Like, man, that character doesn't seem to do a lot. So I remember you guys mentioning that Nobara essentially has just exited the story, right? Yeah, so she was injured, but it's never confirmed that she's dead. Okay, but we have not mentioned her since what's been animated? Yeah, that's what I was gonna ask. Was like, how long has it been now? Since last year. Since that, since season two. Um, and it was almost like in the in the like hundred, in the one hundred chapters. Oh, seriously? Yeah, yeah. Uh she's been gone, she's been out. I mean, unless it's to please the fans, I guess. Slightly this deep end, I don't think Gega is the type to please fans. I'm also gonna be honest, I don't think the fans care for Nobara very much. There are so many better characters, like either whether you're looking at for at it from a horny angle or from like a character like backstory and like character line. I there are just better characters than Nobara in any way, shape, form. So with her being gone this long, it just does not seem feasible that she's just gonna make a surprise. Yeah, because I don't think there's no there's no fucking cheering when people read this chapter, read an upcoming chapter and Nobara. They're not gonna pog out. Maybe that's just I don't know how you Nobara. So a lot of people have been commenting just saying like Tsukuna has yet to show his true power, which is like a fucking joke that's been running since like this arc started. And considering how long he has his arcs go for, I think sometimes he blows them out to like 50 to 40 chapters. This is only halfway, I would say. So I think we still have quite a bit to go. Um, if not, we have entered like the last few rounds. But a lot of people, as you can, as you can clearly see, like this guy, Ray, he's just saying they really throwing random bullshit at point. I don't know where the author led this story. So I've been seeing a lot saying, like, because uh uh Gaygay imposes that Yuta can only do this for five minutes. Why I don't really remember, it's not really pointing here. People are thinking after five minutes, then Gojo something will happen and he'll be targeted. Yuta as Gojo or like No, just just something Gojo Gojo happens, they have to swap out like the brains, and then Gojo's just back to normal. Alright, here's here's a guy. Trash, trash as manga, fuck Gagey, took a shit on Gojo's character while he was alive, and now he's using his body as a weapon, took a shit on Yuta, he took a shit on Wait, he he is a Kakata. Yeah, you can tell what kind of fucking person this is. That's what I'm saying. So a lot of people are like split. Would you clap if Gojo was fully ready? No, I wouldn't care. I I would honestly be more upset. I would be so upset if that's how small guys kind of kind of to go back to Killa Kill. I was telling him this. When it was like when they went, oh, Ryuku is Satsuki's sister. I was like, Oh, he was big mad about that one. I was like, are you fucking serious? I was like, I was like, this better not be what it I they better not be going down this way. Like literal minutes before it happened. This better not. I swear to God, if they're sisters, I'm gonna be so mad. And I'm like, well, it was during the part where she was like, Satsuki couldn't do it. So we I had to make the life fiber baby in my womb, and then that baby died, and then Jose's like, I swear to God, if that fucking kid is literally like seconds after that happened, I went, Oh my god, they are gonna reveal they're gonna I was like, they better not be sisters. And guess what? The dad who fucking looked like a 1970s anime characters back, grew out a beard, yeah, yeah. So it was still technically her biological dad for what's crazy. So not a fan of that plot point. No, so it's like that. Like I like literally minutes before they before they went, oh Sasuke and Ryu Ryuko are sisters. And I'm like So if Gojo comes back, you're big man. Yeah, but because aside from this Yuta being Gojo, Yuta's brain being inside Gojo's body. So I mean if Yuta if Yuta wins and he's alive, five if Yuta wins, Sakuna's dead, and we're like, alright, that okay. So I mean we still, yeah, we have Nobara, we have Megami. We still gotta get Megami out. Like there's I think Megami's done. I think he's Megami's coming. I I think because every time sister's dead. That's the whole reason he did this for his sister, the one that turned into Sakuna, like the one that the girl that claimed like she was Sakuna's lover or loved him, whatever. I think they keep making references like Yuji's punches. Like I think that is Gage trying to convey that Yuji is trying to like communicate with him. I think, I think Megumi. And then now I'm thinking like if Megumi's coming back, Nobara's probably gonna come back. Um then Gojo will be reincarnated after five. I mean, you might have a point. Well, that's to say, this is where we're at. Um I th right now I think it's good. I like where we're at. This could very easily turn the other way to where we're both like, man, fuck, there was no need for it. He might go one way, he might go the other. I could see it either way, to be honest. According to Shonen Jump, which uh publishes well, they're the whatever. Yeah, they're the longest. Right. So according to Jump, uh, because sometimes gay gay, like Tell me this motherfucker's taking a break right now. That's what I'm trying to look at. Hold on. Um because it usually For the next five minutes, Utah is effectively Gojo. Okay, sorry. Technically, the chapter's not out right now. Yeah. Technically. Comes out tomorrow uh tomorrow. So as of right now, as of right now, we don't know if there will be a two-week break after chapter 261. This motherfucker better not go on break. Let me look, let me look it up and see. Is uh is there a break? Is there a harem ending in Persona 2? I hope there is. You don't have to answer. Oh, you sure? Oh, that's just what was on the Google search. Okay. Let's me know where. Why are people looking that shit up on Google? Wait, what? Let's me know where Jose's. Is there a harem ending at the end of Persona 2? Did you look that up, Jose? Which one? Is there a harem ending at the end of Persona 2? No, not two. Oh, okay. Three. Oh, three. Oh, you want to know if there's a harem ending? Yeah. I enjoy that the harem ending of five was just all the girls confront you on Valentine's Day and they're like bucking. That's that's I wanted I wanted to see fuck boy. Yeah, I wanted to see if they would like add a new line. Cause I think I told you guys, I don't know, uh or I may have not have. Um uh after uh after the so in the original Persona 3 game, there's uh there's a scene in interaction on I don't like this fucking uh break after 261. All right, folks. Let the lobotomy flow through you until 260. Yep. So we are getting a break. Um by the way, the uh like all the all the narrator narrating over like made up fucking uh domain expansions for fictional characters that's referred to. I was gonna say, like, in Persona 3, the original game, there's an interaction at the beach, and it's basically with um a it is a w it's a it's a person that had transitioned from male to female because they point out like hey, what's that between his legs? And then they run away. Yes, in persona three during the beach scene where like the guys are trying to pick up girls. During the remake, what they do is they kind they like insinuate they're leading up to it, and then they pull a switcheroo on you. So if you have played the original, you know, you feel like you know where it's going, and you're kind of like, Whoa, in this day and age, but then they pull a s a switcheroo on you, and they're like, Well, if you buy these supplements from me, it'll be 290. It basically they pull it's uh LM, uh, what is it called? Like MLM. They basically make her an MLM scammer. Yeah, they basically let's wrap it up. Yeah, so okay, so before we tangent. Uh, but yeah, so we're at Okay, so I'm good. Are you good right now? I I like where we're at. Um, I know there's a lot of like Gojo lovers, Sakuna haters. I know there's a lot of uh Utah haters out there, but I'm just gonna tell you right now. I'm gonna tell you right now with his uh special grade curse spirit uh girlfriend. In my personal opinion, I I think Nobara will come back in one way or another. I just think it's kind of useless or pointless at this point. I don't think she should come back. I still know him. But if she does, I guess. Uh second of all, I think I don't think Megami will come back. I don't think he will come back. I I do think Megami will come back. Well, I even if he comes back, he will be broken. He'll basically have the like no life in his eyes. We'll have to build the character back up. Uh Gojo's done. He's done. He's dead. I hope so. Uta will stay in the body unless he goes five minutes. Uh unless he decides like five minutes. Unless he decides, like, you know, I can't have this power. No one man should have all that power. He quotes Kanye. For the next five minutes, no one man shall have all this power. Yep. If he quotes Kanye, no no one man should have all this power. So and then as for Yuji, I think Yuji has basically just become a second, I think he's basically just working his way up to become a second Sakuna. Continues to put out more black flashes. For for for a little con do you know what a black flash is? Uh it's probably a special movie. It's when it's when first energy fists punch. It's like uh but the timing is hard, like even Gojo has said in the manga, like I can never get it right. And then there's actually a little piece of backstory that flashes back to Gojo where he's like, My fights are so fast I never need more than two. And then uh I think Nanami held the record, he had three, and then dang it. It's it's just a little nice tidbit that he's like constantly beating his personal best, essentially. So the black flash, anybody can do it, but it's supposed to be like it's incredibly hard to do. Okay. It's not like Naruto or Goku doing a Kamehameha or sh Rasangun, because it's like their special move. The Black Flash can be done by anybody and everybody, yet uh it's like Yuji, the one that can just continuously do it. Like he's effectively mastered it in a sense because he keeps getting better and better at it. As basic as the black flash would appear to most people, when it hits, it hits. Kind of like in wrestling, when wrestlers protect their finish, or like if I hit you with this finish, you're you're getting pinned. Like that's the it when the black flash hits, it means something. It's kind of like um even Sakuna's not immune to it. Like he's the reason he's struggling right now is because of those consecutive back black flashes that Yuji has given him. That's why he's having such a hard time. It can do all this fucking bullshit. Just a cursed energy punch is also very effective. And that's all that Yuji can pretty much do. Cause I don't I I personally don't think we'll ever see fucking domain expansion. Oh, does he not have a domain? No. Really? And there's no like reference to the domain. Yuji has no domain. I don't think he ever cares to have a domain expansion. And that's fine. I like that. Uh anyway, let's let's wrap up. JJK is currently good. Could change in two weeks when the next chapter is. We'll see. Uh watch watch trigger stuff. Girl the gone, pani and stalking. No. Kill a kill. Don't watch the English dub if you're gonna watch Panny and Stocking. I recommend the English dub, I think. Shut the fuck up. But it was. It was. Is it just like fucking Pamela Henderson jokes again? Is there is there something there? Apparently. Okay, so apparently they just Americanized. I remember watching a video, somebody said it was akin to ghost stories. Yeah, but they didn't go that far. Well, I enjoyed the dub. Again, this was way back in the day when I watched it, so I don't know. Okay. Let's get on Little Witch Academia and then we need to watch Pro Mare. Sure, I've already finished. Oh, sorry. I'll get on Little Witch Academia and then we gotta watch Pro Mare. I'll watch Little Witch Academia every week. I will say I'm interested in Gridman after hearing about like I have to give it a fair shot. Rika's thighs? No dishes this time about it no dishes. No, my dishes are clean. Salem, Rika's thighs, they go on for miles. Okay. I would put them up against his favorite character's thighs. Oh, my favorite character's thighs? You think they rival her thighs? Oh, absolutely. You think Ryza's thighs are Dude? Okay, so like she's wearing like a short skirt, man. Thighs are out the whole fucking time. The whole time. Yeah. All right. Anyway, we're at 245. This has been Anime Thighs podcast. We're at 245. I'm gonna have to condense this down, but this is Man, we should have named the podcast Anime Thighs. Anime Thighs. Everybody will come in. Absolute territory. And then realize that none of us watch harem. Yeah, well, I kind of do, but it's okay. Anyways. Okay, okay. Anyways, this has been all right. Let's get the clap in and go. Okay. So finish her up. This has been okay. So this was Isano's Denabutakus. Talked about Trigger, talked about uh JJK Thighs. Um, so hopefully you come back for episode five. We did not talk about JJK Thighs actually live. That's that's what I'll name. If I if I like break it, break this up into like name this episode JJK Thighs. I will. All right, great. Uh meet Trigger and JJK Thighs. So, yeah, essentially this is what this podcast is every week. Thanks for coming back around to Isan Omonjo's Denabutakus. I'm gonna drop a bombshell after I get off of this um with the guys, um, and then the audience will probably know what I mean. Anyways, everyone have a good day. I gotta get to work. Riva Derrick.
