Transcript

SPEAKER_01 0:00

Alright, what's going on? My name's Jose, aka Isinomonjo. Uh today we're in Sherm's Den of Utakus.

SPEAKER_03 0:06

This is not a cold open to the podcast, and I'm angry about it.

SPEAKER_01 0:09

I was recording, but a lot of it was just like Should we talk about this? Should we talk about this? So I didn't think a lot of that was like very funny.

SPEAKER_03 0:16

Yeah, you just gotta cold open.

SPEAKER_01 0:18

No, I've been recording. I just I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 0:19

No, don't don't cold open on the fucking us reviewing the news. You just gotta give us like say you got to do something for two minutes and let us fucking we'll find something to fucking talk about.

SPEAKER_01 0:30

I mean it'll either go back to fate, Yu-Gi-Oh, or wrestling.

SPEAKER_03 0:33

That's not true. He doesn't watch wrestling. That's not true. He doesn't anymore.

SPEAKER_04 0:36

I I don't know. I I got no. I don't even watch wrestling anymore. So wrestling is off the table.

SPEAKER_03 0:42

Once Cody finished his story, I was like, all right, I saw this to the natural conclusion. We're done here. Good enough. We'll come back later, I'm sure.

SPEAKER_01 0:49

Um, so episode six. How are we feeling? Oh you know, I need food real bad. Hey, you know, need food anymore. It would have been past ten episodes had we s continued after those first two that we started back in like January.

SPEAKER_04 1:03

The first two will never see the light of day. That's true. I agree, honestly.

SPEAKER_01 1:06

That was pretty bad. Now, quick question. If I switched out if I switched these mics out for like ones that you could just hold, would you guys be into that? No.

SPEAKER_04 1:14

Um, I mean, like, I would like to fidget with it a bit, um, but I would need to like set it down somewhere.

SPEAKER_03 1:20

I'm just gonna pick it picked up in the audio.

SPEAKER_04 1:21

No, it's just me moving around.

SPEAKER_03 1:22

No, you can't.

SPEAKER_01 1:23

Now that we leave it where it is. Now that we all have headphones, do we all see like where my struggles be coming from?

SPEAKER_03 1:29

Is this yeah, this is good.

SPEAKER_04 1:31

No, I don't I actually like it with the headphones.

SPEAKER_01 1:33

Yeah, it helps. I don't like I don't like listening to myself with these headphones, but I have to because I'm obviously the guy in charge. Okay, so welcome Jose Isano's Denebutakus. Uh Jose's Denabutakus. Um You have so many cans. Why do you have so many cans, brother? I like drinking fluids. Is that the Mountain Deuce Kickstarter? Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:52

It's also got a polar seltzer. Oh, yeah. And a diet Pepsi. And a diet pepsi. Uh that costs $4.99.

SPEAKER_01 1:58

Okay, so the Pepsi. Do you want a tip?

SPEAKER_03 2:00

Uh uh, no tip. Guess you're never coming back.

SPEAKER_01 2:03

So you brought this up earlier. Like, did you ever read Twin Star Exercise? By the way, this is like manga to be ending. Uh, so no.

SPEAKER_04 2:09

I I thought about it a little bit. Um, because like the uh the beginning of the series didn't seem all that bad. Uh like literally, it's like, okay, they're fighting, from what I remember, like supernatural entities. Uh, main dude is a guy, I believe, that like has a hard time controlling his power, uh, and he's kind of an idiot. Uh, and then he meets his partner, who is like very composed, very controlled, really good at what she does. Um, but like they end up getting together, if I'm not mistaken. And like the anime, I think, was like 50-something episodes. I think it was. I I couldn't do it after a certain point because I was just getting bored.

SPEAKER_01 2:43

From what I understood, um, a bunch of the anime became anime original. They pulled like a card captor, a Naruto, a bleach, because obviously there weren't enough chapters. By the way, Twin Star Exorcist was. Not the filler. Yeah. But but I like the Bantarc.

SPEAKER_03 2:56

Okay. I think it's neat. I like the whale. From what I understand. Sit down over there in your shame corner. The whale is cool.

SPEAKER_01 3:02

From what I understand is that uh Twin Star Exorcist was being released on a monthly schedule rather than a weekly or bi-weekly one. So that's why it only had so many chapters, and that's why it was weird that it got 50 episodes.

SPEAKER_04 3:12

Well, when you put it that way, yeah, that makes sense then. Kind of wonder how well they did then with the anime original stuff.

SPEAKER_01 3:18

Uh, I mean, if people dropped off, it can't be that good. Oh, hey oh. Um, so also no introduction to Don't Toy with Me, Miss Nagatoro. That one's also set to end soon. I've been reading, I've been keeping up with this one since I read it, since I watched the anime. I really enjoyed it. It's pretty cute. I honestly I don't know why I didn't add this one to like one of my romance ones last week, but honestly, this is a juvenile childish one. You don't want to start with Don't Toy with Me, Miss Nagatoro.

SPEAKER_04 3:42

I read a fat chunk of Nagatoro uh, I think like a year or so ago. I was binge uh reading that shit, and it was really good. Yeah. Um but I I had heard recent developments are they they finally, you know, confessed their feelings.

SPEAKER_03 3:57

Did we finally drop the Sundere? Is she a Sundere? No, she's just an asshole.

SPEAKER_04 4:01

No, she yeah, uh as Jose said, he she's basically an asshole. She's just an asshole. She's just like fucking with them.

SPEAKER_03 4:06

Is that a Yonderai?

SPEAKER_04 4:08

No. No, um just an asshole. An asshole. Just an asshole. She's looking for an asshole.

SPEAKER_03 4:12

I'm gonna look her up on the dairy wiki later. Gotta find out which one she is.

SPEAKER_04 4:16

Plenty of dairies.

SPEAKER_01 4:17

I'm sure you'll you'll find plenty of things. But yeah, and then my hero apparently is gonna have quite a few episodes of epilogue, just basically tying everything up.

SPEAKER_03 4:25

Yeah, we gotta find out the deck who had that secret eighth hidden quirk that the doctor lied to. I watched a TikTok video. I was kind of mad at myself because I'm like, this seems interesting, and then I'm like, oh yeah, that's right. It's my hero, never mind.

SPEAKER_01 4:37

Uh what I immediately in the trash. What I was uh when I was like um reading like news articles to find for like this week's news, a lot of them were like, hey, is uh is Deku Fuck finally gonna confess to a Chaku? Is Bakugo finally gonna like say his feelings to the red guy or some bullshit?

SPEAKER_03 4:53

I was like, Oh, I swear to god, if that's the ending, I'm gonna be so mad. I was like, You know your fandom right now. Yeah, you know your fan. What are your favorite ships? Is it Bakugo and Exploding Man? Um, I think there were some other manga. He is the exploding man, my bad. Yeah, King Explosion Murder. I think. Okay, so no, before you go. Okay.

SPEAKER_04 5:11

Okay, I got it.

SPEAKER_03 5:12

His name is actually pretty good. It's Explosion King God Dynamite.

SPEAKER_04 5:17

It it's something, alright. It it truly is.

SPEAKER_03 5:19

It's pretty good. Like it's a reference to All Might. It's a it's I'm mad at myself again. Anyway.

SPEAKER_01 5:25

Um, so yeah, like that's basically there were a bunch of other mangas ending, but those were like the three I thought, like, even Twin Star Exorcist is kind of a stretch because none of us watched it.

SPEAKER_03 5:33

Well, so I mean the twin star exorcists.

SPEAKER_01 5:36

Um they're stars and they're twins and they are.

SPEAKER_04 5:38

Yeah, uh if I remember right, it was prophesized, right? There'd be like two exorcists that would like unite and be strong enough to defeat some like calamity or something. I don't know, probably. I watched a good portion of the anime. You're saving time.

SPEAKER_03 5:53

Was this during Horny Salem's time?

SPEAKER_04 5:55

No. This honest at this point I need like arcs for like how I was as an anime fan. Because like uh horny me was like the start, and then just kind of I feel like we all start in at the horny section.

SPEAKER_03 6:07

Oh yeah, you you watch this new harem anime, it's pretty when you see high school DXD, it's gonna blow your socks out.

SPEAKER_04 6:14

Old Testament of Sister New Devil. Have you heard of it? Oh god.

SPEAKER_01 6:18

I tried some of those, they were not for me. I couldn't even get through the first episode of High School DXD or Sister New Devil.

SPEAKER_03 6:26

Hey, DX DXD starts strong. Akano's there right away. Pretty good.

SPEAKER_01 6:31

Oh, but um Arcane. We gotta I didn't watch this video.

SPEAKER_03 6:35

Just go to YouTube and pull the line.

SPEAKER_01 6:37

No, this is it, it's it's got like a bunch of them, but this pulls in like the trailer, right? This is a trailer, right? Uh yeah. Alright, so I haven't watched this. Have you, Salem? Uh no, I I haven't yet.

SPEAKER_04 6:47

You have though. I've already seen it. Wait, so are you saying that the video is like a compilation of a little bit? It's a compilation of a bunch of Netflix animation.

SPEAKER_03 6:54

It's like a 12-second teaser. There's not a lot here. Yeah, but they really got a breadcrumb you on this. All right, let's let's check it out.

SPEAKER_01 7:01

It's just like playing League. You'll always come back. Oh my god, it's V. Oh my god, it's Caitlin.

SPEAKER_03 7:05

Uh people were speculating that.

SPEAKER_01 7:07

Oh my god, it's the worst character.

SPEAKER_03 7:09

Oh you're people were speculating the girl all the way on the left was Grayson's daughter. That's all I had to say. Is she a league character? No.

SPEAKER_01 7:18

Okay, so tell us a little bit about League. This could go on for a while.

SPEAKER_03 7:21

Uh League is an awful game. Don't play it.

SPEAKER_01 7:22

But it is. Is the League lore good?

SPEAKER_03 7:26

Questionable. Like, this is them trying to write their terrible storytelling in the beginning where we had to keep hatching it all together because like character got released and character is now important to this specific section of the lore. So it's like this is them redoing that where they're like, nope, this is the canon story. And it sucks because we'll take probably fucking years to get to like different areas of uh Rune Terra, and that's awful. But I mean, I'd rather they do it this way than like because I mean they could do like shorts, but the thing like animated shorts. Yeah, like kind of like how Overwatch did. Like, could you imagine how much of a bang like you release an Overwatch TV show in year Overwatch 1 was was released or like the year after? That thing would have been a smash hit. Now it's like they've soured so many people on the game, they're like, fuck it, we don't care what you people do anymore. Just fix your stupid fucking broken game. Somehow League of Legends came out that the other side and they made a pretty good, pretty decent story.

SPEAKER_04 8:21

Oh yeah, it's uh it is pretty good. It's pretty good. I honestly can't wait for the second season.

SPEAKER_01 8:26

I didn't think I would like it, but I liked Arcane. Except you hate the best character in Arcanine. Yeah, I hate I hate Jinx. Even though I play as Jinx, I hate Jinx. You hate Jinx? I don't like Jinx. Jeez, okay. We already talked about this.

SPEAKER_04 8:37

He thinks it's a Harley ripoff. Yeah. Oh, so so you still maintain that? Yeah. Okay. Okay. Well, because he said he was gonna do uh another viewing of it and everything.

SPEAKER_01 8:45

Yeah, I'm I still need to do my second and third viewing just to be like, I need to get the nuance of this. Why do people like that?

SPEAKER_03 8:51

So let me ask you a question. Right. When you see that character archetype anywhere, do you just automatically assume it's a Harley? Anyway, we're gonna move on. Otherwise, we'll be here for a while.

SPEAKER_01 9:00

I'm sorry, it's like whenever I see it, it's a Harley. Okay, so we talked about Gynex a little bit in our trigger episode, but um, only a couple weeks later, they've already filed for bankruptcy on the 29th of May.

SPEAKER_03 9:11

Look, all the important people got out of Gynex at the right time. Like, cause if you pull up Gynex's uh credit history, besides like Ava and technically Gurren, like I don't think you see a lot of bangers in there.

SPEAKER_01 9:23

Look at this. Uh in a statement on Friday, Gynex explained that its financial situation worsened starting in about 2012 due to various factors, including managing a restaurant that did not meet projections, expectations. I'm not sure if you're not going to be starting a restaurant, establishing a mismanaged CG company, giving lar given large unsecured loans to executives and running its business operations as if it were a small personal venture. Do you s do you guys see what I mean? Like by like before when I was talking about how Gynex does not know how to like handle their personal finances. I'm not surprised that this happened. Good.

SPEAKER_03 9:54

Running. Makes sense why the trigger folks got out of there.

SPEAKER_01 9:58

The only thing I want is for Trigger to just for Trigger, Imashi, and the other dude, I forgot his name, to just go back and be like, hey, give me that. Give me that, give me that. I want to put Trigger's name on it.

SPEAKER_03 10:07

No, there's nothing. All they want is Panny and stocking, and they're not gonna ever get Ava out of Guy Nexus Grips.

SPEAKER_01 10:12

Well, that one would go to um the other guy. What's his name? It doesn't matter. Hidekiano.

SPEAKER_03 10:17

Ava's not worth it. Ava's story's been told. You're not getting anything from telling it a third time. That's true.

SPEAKER_01 10:22

Uh but Hedechiano, Ava would go to Hedechiano, like uh Gorin Lagan and uh whatever else.

SPEAKER_03 10:28

Pani and stocking. Yeah, that's literally it.

SPEAKER_01 10:30

Yeah, that would just go to trigger. So, I mean, unfortunate shame. Uh these guys did not know how to manage their finances. Good thing the good thing the people that actually knew what they were doing like got out because it looks like Gyanax was managed by a bunch of moron.

SPEAKER_03 10:44

All right, so like most companies, honestly.

SPEAKER_01 10:47

But somehow they succeed. Alright, so free run fan thwarts terrorist attack. What do you think about that?

SPEAKER_03 10:52

Uh good on him.

SPEAKER_01 10:53

Bless that man. Bless him. I I I swear there was a picture here. You guys have to see the picture. He like goes up and he's um there's a quote here.

SPEAKER_03 11:00

Wasn't he like drawing to something about the dwarf character?

SPEAKER_01 11:03

Uh, I don't know which character it was, but he basically um he basically says, uh, here's a quote. Hamel would have done the same thing the boy told the press after sharing his love of free rent. If given the chance to go back in time, I would have done the same. I would act the same way I did.

SPEAKER_04 11:17

Hell yeah, brother.

SPEAKER_01 11:18

Uh yeah. Apparently, this was a stabbing. Yeah, he was wearing his monster hunter robe in public.

SPEAKER_04 11:24

Salem.

SPEAKER_03 11:24

Bust out the duster. No, it's never gonna happen. The world is ready.

SPEAKER_04 11:29

No, if if we all dress up, I will I will put on the coat one more time. Just one more time.

SPEAKER_03 11:34

One more time?

SPEAKER_04 11:34

Yeah, but we all have to dress up. I'll put on my bomber jacket.

SPEAKER_03 11:37

Is it like a break and duster or a laptop?

SPEAKER_04 11:39

No, it's it's uh it's a black one and like the leather is like stitched together.

SPEAKER_01 11:43

No, sorry. I'll put on my hoodie over my bomber jacket.

SPEAKER_04 11:46

There we go. There we go. Now we just gotta figure out what you're gonna wear, Sherm. Madhouse did free rin.

SPEAKER_01 11:50

Yeah, madhouse did free rin. Um, and I've seen some of the like bigger moments in free rin, and I just like want to kick myself in the fucking ass because I didn't watch this already. That's okay.

SPEAKER_03 11:59

I'll get to it.

SPEAKER_01 12:00

Um, but yeah, it's so he was uh Taiwanese boy, uh he stopped a stabbing uh on a train, and apparently this is becoming a thing. Anyway, wait, Tide Tangent. Have you guys seen people in the Taiwanese parliament? Have you guys seen what they yo, they they literally box in there.

SPEAKER_04 12:15

Let's go. Really?

SPEAKER_01 12:15

Yeah, they Oh, they're ahead of the curve, man.

SPEAKER_04 12:18

They're Taiwanese fight club.

SPEAKER_01 12:19

Dude, sometimes somebody will be like, I want to pass this law. Somebody will go, like, no, I don't want you to pass that law, and then they'll start throwing hands to like take the legisl take whatever legislation they have in their hands, rip it out of their hands. One dude was even eating a piece of legislation once because he was like, fuck this piece of legislation.

SPEAKER_03 12:35

I mean, so much better than the like snippy bullshit our government has in the fucking house.

SPEAKER_04 12:40

I love that shit. Just poke your fucking dukes up, we're gonna go at it, and whoever wins is right.

SPEAKER_01 12:45

Dude, the Taiwanese parliament is absolutely on another level. They will throw hands for what they believe. Oh yeah. Unlike the United States, they'll be like, you let guns roam around. Well, you shouldn't try to take my guns.

SPEAKER_03 12:58

Like, you did you see the thing with uh I think it was Marjorie Taylor Greene and uh the Hispanic one, I can't remember her name. ACO. Yeah. They were having like little snippy arguments back and forth, and it's like, man, come on, just put them in a ring, make them fight each other.

SPEAKER_01 13:13

That's what that's what the American government needs to be. No, she'll go uh Rey Mysterio on her just like Marjorie Taylor Green cannot hit the 619.

SPEAKER_03 13:26

I'm sorry, she is way too old. Never gonna happen. No faith, no faith. Uh but yeah, like I believe AOC could hit the Batista bomb.

SPEAKER_01 13:34

I'm starting to believe that if China really did invade Taiwan, uh China would be like, we chewed off more than we can we bit off more than we can chew.

SPEAKER_03 13:42

I mean, the problem is China's fucking massive.

SPEAKER_01 13:44

I mean it's true, but when all their stuff is made out of stuff that will just basically explode or like styrofoam, I mean you could probably just walk up to them with a stick and tell them to render it. Anyways, let's move on from politics. Why?

SPEAKER_04 13:54

Uh so look at that side boob. Oh man. I wonder what that's attached to.

SPEAKER_01 13:59

So I'm really excited about Witch Hat Atillier. It's got some amazing artwork in the manga. I have the first volume. I only read like the first chapter. I forgot what it I forgot what the chapter was about, so I need to go back and read it. But all I can tell you is that the staple amazing amazing artwork.

SPEAKER_04 14:14

Um that good, huh?

SPEAKER_01 14:15

I'm pretty sure this won like an Eisen Award. You guys know what that is? Nope. So an Aisen Award is given to like really like thought-provoking narrative stories and stuff like that.

SPEAKER_03 14:23

Can't wait till I hear Shuhei Otani's opinion on which had a tiller. That was the guy from last week, the guy writing the sports manga that played baseball.

SPEAKER_04 14:33

It's gonna carry a lot of weight, let me tell you.

SPEAKER_01 14:35

But along with this crunchy roll. I think this was also on Anime News Network, but along with um this crunchy roll article I have here, it's like Kaniko After School is also getting an updated season, whatever.

SPEAKER_03 14:46

That makes sense.

SPEAKER_01 14:46

I mean this romance one I kind of want to watch. Elias sometimes hides her feelings in Russian.

SPEAKER_04 14:51

Oh, that. Uh, I read a handful of chapters of it. It does seem pretty cute, actually, because it apparently the the boy that she like has this question. He knows Russian. He knows Russian.

SPEAKER_01 15:01

It's so good, man. Like just like the one guy she likes knows Russian.

SPEAKER_04 15:05

And he doesn't want to admit that he knows because then it will like embarrass her or something.

SPEAKER_03 15:09

He's gonna have such a cool language. Like, if I was gonna learn another language, it'd probably be Russian. Dorby. Yeah. Alexandroy. I need to know how to say great tier on the you sound angry speaking it. Like German is top tier, and then Russian is like just below that.

SPEAKER_01 15:25

Dude, have you heard my uh Salem hasn't, but have when you were there, like, and my wife had her dad over. Do you you remember when he was talking? I was like, it sounds like he's yelling, but he's just talking.

SPEAKER_03 15:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 15:33

That's that motherfucker.

SPEAKER_03 15:34

Bosnian goes crazy.

SPEAKER_01 15:35

Dude, that motherfucker, I oh sometimes he'll be like talking to my wife.

SPEAKER_03 15:40

We're really offending a lot of cultures and politics on this beginning of this episode. No, I'm I'm married to a Bosnian. Like, I'm not Mexican. I'm just saying.

SPEAKER_01 15:47

Well, the language is so Bosnians go crazy. All right, let's do something we can all agree on. Salem, you said Aries. Look at that. Season three. I'm not excited. Fuck no.

SPEAKER_03 15:56

Is that a thong strap and a short skirt? Uh whatever. Find me up. Whatever. What's the story about? Break it down.

SPEAKER_04 16:02

Okay. So all I can really tell you, because I wanted to erase this from my memory. Uh-huh. It's it's just a very edgy power fantasy type thing. Oh, really? Yes. I couldn't tell that. You couldn't tell from the guy with the eye patch. He has a robot arm and a gun that he made in this fantasy setting. And he has like 15 wives or some bullshit.

SPEAKER_03 16:21

You're putting me to sleep.

SPEAKER_04 16:22

Yeah, I I hope so, because that's that's how I felt like it's gonna be really good though.

SPEAKER_01 16:25

Oh, yeah, I'm sure. Yeah, side boob though. Mf Ghost season two. I'm pretty sure the first season came out this year, also. So did you see that?

SPEAKER_03 16:32

What's it what's the level two cheat powers one? Yeah, the one's getting another. See, they did a really cool like 360 shot, and I'm mad because I kind of want to watch it just for that. But just for the case. But you're gonna hate it because it is just out of it, but man, once I get to that shot. Just power through it and you'll be like, yes. I mean, I could just probably just watch that shot over and over again. Like it's really cool. Like, I'm kind of surprised whatever studio did that, like, put in the time and effort to make that shot look like that, but like also why'd why'd you why'd you pick a trash ass anime to do it on? You could have picked something different.

SPEAKER_01 17:06

Another anime that did that that I've been watching was that one I was talking to you guys about about the dude who got Isekaid into his same magical world where he was already in the magical world and you got reincarnated as the seventh prince. They did a shot like that.

SPEAKER_04 17:16

Wait, is that the one with the when he reincarnates as the the seventh prince, I assume? Uh is he like built like a fucking Omega fanboy?

SPEAKER_03 17:24

Yes.

SPEAKER_04 17:24

Okay, I know what you're talking about. All right.

SPEAKER_03 17:26

So there's into it.

SPEAKER_04 17:28

Oh I'm good.

SPEAKER_03 17:29

They did a no, you said you were into it. They did a 360 scene.

SPEAKER_01 17:33

They did a 360 scene with um, let me look for the character because I know you guys will appreciate it. I know. I I I go on here every now and then to check up on uh stuff I need to get. But uh let me make sure. God has it been a few days now. Uh Optimus Prime. Don't care. Give a fuck, Sam. That's right. Right here.

SPEAKER_04 17:51

Uh-huh. I I was just thinking of uh Optimus Prime's Japanese name. Convoy. Really? That's his name. Convoy. I actually I like both, but convoy ain't bad. Uh like convoy hit convoy prime. Convoy prime. Yeah. Yeah, it wouldn't be too bad. It's weird. Like, um, like sideways in uh Transformers Armada is called Double Face in the Japanese.

SPEAKER_01 18:14

Look, guys, I'm really torn about getting the statue of um This Azure Lane. No, no. This is uh what's her name? Silpha from the I'm not reading all that. Um Seventh Prince anime. Okay.

SPEAKER_04 18:26

There we go. It's it's from that one.

SPEAKER_01 18:27

The thigh highs go pretty hard here. This is when she takes out the sword and they do the 360 shot. Uh that's not bad. And like that little thing wraps around the sword and stuff because Oh no.

SPEAKER_04 18:37

Oh, is that with the shot? Like it's wrapping around the sword.

SPEAKER_01 18:39

Yeah, like as as the shot is going around and the sword is unwrapping, and it's pretty good, I think. That's pretty good, actually.

SPEAKER_03 18:45

Not the Ichigo Bunkai maneuver. Honestly, this wraps around his fucking arm. I hate that so much.

SPEAKER_01 18:51

This uh this statue, $140.40. USD as of right now, pre-orders. I mean, I'm not paying all that.

SPEAKER_04 18:59

No, but that's actually a pretty cool looking figure, though, not gonna lie.

SPEAKER_01 19:02

Yeah, like I re I've been thinking about it like this entire week.

SPEAKER_03 19:05

You see all these, and you're like, that's pretty good. Well, do you see the trash can right up front? I I'm looking at the one on the screen. What one on the screen? There is no screen. Oh, there's none out. That's a lie.

SPEAKER_04 19:14

Silly me. I'm using my telepathic and psychic building. Sign this contract and I can make you have a screen. Okay, do I get a wish out of it?

SPEAKER_03 19:22

Yeah, that's your wish. Is you get a screen. Oh, that's not worth it. Probably not. You're gonna sign it anymore? No, I'm good. All right, I'm alright.

SPEAKER_01 19:28

Uh the other ones were just like another isekai. God damn it. Or another isekai, you minimizing the window.

SPEAKER_03 19:34

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_01 19:35

You know, no longer allowed in another world. Something about cheering championship. I don't know what this is.

SPEAKER_04 19:41

Nari Nari, cheer for you. Uh this one below it.

SPEAKER_03 19:44

Tristan's gonna go nuts for.

SPEAKER_04 19:46

Uh what? No longer allowed in another world. The cat girl? Is it because of that one? The cat girl? Which one?

SPEAKER_03 19:50

The cat one. No, the blonde one, obviously. Oh, the blonde one. This one? What do you think? Of course it's the cat girl. Okay.

SPEAKER_04 19:59

That's an interesting looking weapon, actually, uh, with the elf, though.

SPEAKER_03 20:01

No, don't get sucked in just for that.

SPEAKER_04 20:04

Look, I it's not that interesting, but it's it's it's cool.

SPEAKER_01 20:07

I was playing that game where like the anime girls turn into cars and one of them had that weapon. Anyways, let's move on. What the fuck? Sorry? Don't worry about it. Sorry?

SPEAKER_04 20:15

Well, I'm gonna worry about it now, I'm saying the one really came into car.

SPEAKER_01 20:19

So really hot cars out there. You guys know who Timothy is finally. Do you guys know who Timothy Oliphant is?

SPEAKER_03 20:24

Yeah, he was the hitman in that bad hitman adaptation. You don't know Timothy Elephant's? You know, you know who he is. You just don't record.

SPEAKER_04 20:32

Celebrity names do not stick with him.

SPEAKER_03 20:34

Yeah, it's Timothy Shalomet. Oh, Timothy Shalome.

SPEAKER_04 20:36

Well, why didn't you say so earlier?

SPEAKER_03 20:37

From Wonka? You know who this is, I guarantee you. Oh, him. Yeah. It's this motherfucker.

SPEAKER_01 20:41

So he's been cast in the Terminator anime. Um I didn't know. He's not Dexter, right? No. That's a different one. That's a different one. Okay, okay. Uh yeah, so Timothy Elephant's been cast in the Terminator Zero anime. And I, as far as I looked, um, might be in this other one. Uh, it's supposed to be about like the rise of the Terminators into like Terminator 1. Or at least that's like the narrative they've been going with.

SPEAKER_04 21:03

Uh if you remember, in uh in Terminator 3, uh they were kind of like explaining Skynet and everything.

SPEAKER_01 21:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 21:09

Uh like so. Are they trying to like fit this between Terminator 3 and Terminator 1?

SPEAKER_01 21:14

I think they're trying to retcon Salvation out. I'm pretty sure they're I can't imagine why. Every time they make a new Terminator.

SPEAKER_04 21:20

This is the best one. That was the best one.

SPEAKER_01 21:22

This is the best one. Every time they make a new Terminator, uh every time they make a new turn terminator. Terminator.

SPEAKER_03 21:27

That the tournament, that one? The tournament arc and terminator?

SPEAKER_01 21:32

Every time a new Terminator movie has come out, basically all they're trying to do is retcon everything that came before two. So it's like they just want to keep t one and two. They but they keep trying to do a third one.

SPEAKER_04 21:43

And to be fair, I understand why they would do that, because those are solid movies, but like I'm talking about Salvation was the best one. Oh oh yeah, that's right. Silly me. Salvation was the best one.

SPEAKER_03 21:54

That one guy that had like every role for like five years. Was weird. Uh what, the dude that played Kyle Reese? That sounds right.

SPEAKER_01 22:00

Well, uh Timothy Oliphant will be in it. I'm excited for that. I like it.

SPEAKER_03 22:06

Christian Bale. Wasn't Christian Bale in Salvation?

SPEAKER_04 22:08

Yes. Uh oh yeah, yeah, he was. He was a member of the Resistance.

SPEAKER_01 22:11

The only thing I the only thing memorable about Terminator's Salvation in me is the behind-the-scenes sarant that Christian Bale had. Do you know about that?

SPEAKER_03 22:18

Is that where the guy walked in front of the camera and he yelled at him?

SPEAKER_04 22:21

Yeah. I think everyone heard about that. I know what you mean. I didn't know it was salvation, though.

SPEAKER_03 22:28

There's a lot of origin of like people finding out Christian Bale's an incredibly brutal asshole just from that.

SPEAKER_01 22:34

He sucks.

SPEAKER_03 22:35

I mean, he's a method actor, man.

SPEAKER_01 22:37

That's true. I mean, have you seen how skinny he got for the machinist? And then he's like, yeah, I got yeah, I gotta gain 60 pounds for Bobma because I got a Bobma roll coming up.

SPEAKER_03 22:45

This is the worst Christian Bale impression I've ever made.

SPEAKER_01 22:47

Hey, he's like fucking Cockney or something. No, he's like Wa from like the Wales area. Oh, what, Welsh? Yeah, he's Welsh. Oh, I know I need another race of people while we're at it, at that tool list. Uh let's move this one to the very end.

SPEAKER_03 23:02

Yeah, yeah. Run that one back. I got nothing to say on that one.

SPEAKER_01 23:06

Okay, so Netflix's One Piece star suggests season three is already a go, but they still need to like uh start season two.

SPEAKER_03 23:13

Season two is expected to start production this summer.

SPEAKER_01 23:17

Oh, is that the official stance?

SPEAKER_03 23:19

Did you ever hear about this? Did I ever tell you about this? How the One Piece community is feral over the fact that they whitewashed, whitewashed Robin.

SPEAKER_04 23:27

Um if you had told me that, I probably just spaced it out because it's just like a whatever thing to do.

SPEAKER_03 23:32

Yeah, it's like she was so much darker in Alabasta. It's like you understand Alabasta's a fucking desert country, right?

SPEAKER_01 23:40

And Vivi herself would have been a princess sheltered inside a castle, probably wouldn't see the sun.

SPEAKER_03 23:46

Dad and Vivi wasn't on the island for a long portion of time. That's true. Her skin probably would have lightened up. That's true, because when you're away from the sun, if you're not in the sun twenty-four-seven, like Yes, as a person that avoids the sun, I can confirm you stay pretty white.

SPEAKER_01 23:58

As a person who grew up for the first five years outside in the sun, I can tell you I was pretty pale when I was born and now I'm brown permanently.

SPEAKER_04 24:07

We're talking about one piece as in like its actual like manga, like the skin tone changing and everything. Uh like manga slash.

SPEAKER_03 24:13

It was probably the adaptation. I don't know how they shaded Robin in the manga, if it was at all. But like they really liked Alabaster Robin, and then when she got whitewashed, people were big mad, and it's like I personally don't like uh pre-time skip uh Robin because of that haircut.

SPEAKER_01 24:30

It's just that haircut. I don't think it's a little bit more. Yeah, the bang the bangs are awful. I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 24:36

Also, when you look at post-time skip robin's design, everyone's just ball ahead. Just a 10. You've seen it, probably. I have. I have it's the like Aloha skirt and okay, but I I don't know.

SPEAKER_04 24:46

So it's like the shades and stuff.

SPEAKER_01 24:47

Yeah. Yeah, no, it's good. I don't know if we've talked about one live action one piece, but like I know you watched a little bit. You said before the podcast you watched a little bit, but you didn't finish after the little cat man uh came on screen.

SPEAKER_03 24:59

Captain Kuro was I mean, I think they did fine with the adaptation. It was enjoyable, it was just toned down a lot for like audiences, I think, to get people in.

SPEAKER_01 25:08

Bring up what you said earlier about how like they're cutting things, but they should probably shouldn't be cutting it.

SPEAKER_03 25:12

Yeah, so there's like some minor stuff where like I think Garp gets introduced very early because I think the first time you meet Garp is might be Alabas. It's either after Alabaster or after Water Seven, so it's pretty late, but Garp's like already in the first season, he's like chasing Luffy around.

SPEAKER_01 25:28

Oh yeah, I did see that clip where like Luffy and Garp are like fighting.

SPEAKER_03 25:32

I think so it's like they're making changes.

SPEAKER_04 25:35

Yeah, even with my limited knowledge of the manga, like Garp is like later.

SPEAKER_03 25:40

And it's like if you're making changes and they're being approved by Oda, sure. I'm not mad about it, but the problem is if we get fucking three, four, or five seasons deep into this, and then you kind of wrote yourself into a hole. Right. Like if you take out an important piece, uh that piece could become so important later that it doesn't make any fucking sense. And maybe audiences don't care. I mean, I I have the anime, so I don't care. Like if the live action doesn't hit as hard, whatever.

SPEAKER_01 26:06

The uh one piece remake coming out.

SPEAKER_03 26:08

I honestly I don't see this going past like three seasons like grand line. Like if if they get over the grand line, I don't know why you'd continue.

SPEAKER_01 26:17

Um, have you guys heard who they want fancasted as the nurse? Which nurse?

SPEAKER_03 26:22

Uh are you talking about Doctor?

SPEAKER_01 26:23

Yes, the Doctor Lady. Oh fuck, what's her name? Is it Gwyneth Petra? Jane Lynch. Apparently she's a big one piece fan. Doctor Kareja.

SPEAKER_03 26:30

Yeah, I think I've heard about this. I personally don't Jane Lynch's comedy or like her acting, but it'd be fine.

SPEAKER_01 26:37

Yeah, uh, but like people have been saying like she's the perfect Jane uh the Doctor Crazy quack doctor, whatever she is. Um, so like I mean I'm not gonna be watching this. This is obviously for the casual viewer. This is for the Netflix enjoyer who's like, Oh, I just got off of work. I need something in the background.

SPEAKER_03 26:52

Don't see them going like a long distance that it requires to completely Could you imagine in season like 48 when we're at fucking Whole Cake Island? How do you make Big Mom? How do you make anything from that? How do you make Pedro look like a fucking not a weird ass character? Like, okay, the here, I forgot about this. The biggest thing they took out from the first season of live action one piece, because they do get to Arlong Park, they took out Hachi, right?

SPEAKER_04 27:17

Hachi's Hachi is the is he the octopus? Correct.

SPEAKER_03 27:21

So right there, thanks, Jose. Thank you. Just from just from taking out Hachi, all of Sabah Odie stops making sense because like the main the main conflict in Sabah Odis is Hachi, spoilers, if you're not caught up on One Piece or you're not to Sabah Odi, Hachi gets shot by one of the celestial dragons, and that that causes Luffy to go crazy, even though Hachi told him, Hey, don't don't fuck with the celestial dragons. Luffy punches the shit out of uh I think his name is Charlos. So, like, even right there, like if they ever get to Saboti, it's not gonna make any sense because like are you just not gonna adapt the entire like crux of that arc, like the climax of that arc.

SPEAKER_01 27:57

Same thing with the um underwater, the underwater arc. Hachi's a big player in that one, too. For like the first part of it. With the the Fishman Islands, yeah. The Fishman Island. Like Hachi's a big part of Fishman Island in the beginning.

SPEAKER_03 28:07

So there's a there's like just not even having Hachi and like Arlong's crew that you've already caused problems.

SPEAKER_01 28:13

I feel like Oda and the crew know that they're not gonna get that far, so they're just like probably.

SPEAKER_03 28:18

And that's what I'm saying. Like, I I foresee this getting to because where did they where did they actually end? It was like it was Arlong Park. I have no idea. So like right after this, you it should be the town, right? The town Yeah, you'd be going to Logetown, and then like you should end it like them going over the Grand Line. What is uh and then you go here, here's you're you're caught up to the first part of One Piece, start at this episode, fucking go nuts.

SPEAKER_01 28:42

But here's the thing is it in between Logetown and the Grand Line those giants in between, and then No, they're after. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 28:48

It goes after after they cross the Grand Line, then it's uh Laboon, then the Giants, then fucking Mr. Three and all that. No, that that happens on the Giant Island. There's a lot going on.

SPEAKER_04 29:00

I I was I was gonna ask, like, when does Sir Crocodile like come in?

SPEAKER_03 29:03

That's Alabaster. That's alabas. That's deep. That's like two. Probably season four. Oh my god. I I just don't know why you continue it at a certain point. Because you're never gonna catch up because you're gonna have to find four more Luffy's probably, because by the time we get anywhere close to the later stuff, he's gonna be fucking 30 years old.

SPEAKER_01 29:23

Yeah, that's what I said before. It's like when you reach Wano, you're gonna have like cycled through four different Luffy's.

SPEAKER_03 29:28

So And I mean the guy that got to play Luffy already's like perfect casting.

SPEAKER_01 29:32

Yeah, and he's already like in his mid-20s. So like Luffy's supposed to be like 16, 17, he's already.

SPEAKER_03 29:48

Yeah, honestly, just end it at you could maybe go to Alabas, but I think you go any farther, you start running into problems. Like, I don't know how CG CGI Chopper's gonna look, but it's gonna be horrifying either way.

SPEAKER_01 29:59

Alright, so last week I brought up Eminem. Hoodini, hoodini, hoodini. All right, so Venom, Genum, Venom, Venom. Alright, so Venom.

SPEAKER_03 30:07

Did you know Eminem is because his name is Marshall Mathers? I didn't know that. And then he turns one of the E's reverse. I see. Are you now excited to know about Venom?

SPEAKER_01 30:17

Alright, have have you guys watched Venom? Yeah. No. I watched the first two. Honestly, Woody Harrelson is so funny in the second one. It's not even a good movie, but he's so funny because he's just like, hey, hey, hey, hey, I'm agreeing.

SPEAKER_03 30:27

I think I watched the second one, and I don't remember a fucking thing.

SPEAKER_04 30:31

Woody Carlson plays the character in the world. Carnage Carnage, right. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 30:35

And then his girl plays Scream. Anyways, you guys are really. Yeah, that's beyond my knowledge. Uh, we should not watch Venom. Let's go. One movie I I recommend is Upgrade, which is a way better Venom movie.

SPEAKER_03 30:46

Um Let's watch him turn the horse into a Venom horse.

SPEAKER_01 30:49

Alright, we're gonna live action reaction to this Venom trailer right now. Hit the sound button. He's found us. He's found us. By the way, Salem, I don't think you know this, but he got transported to the MCU for like a good minute.

SPEAKER_03 31:02

Yeah, it was like at the end of one of the movies.

SPEAKER_01 31:04

Yeah, at the end of um, I think No Way. No, far from home. Far from home. He just joked. Where Toby and Andrew Garfield showed up. Um he was like in a Mexican like resort hotel or something. It's a red one.

SPEAKER_03 31:15

It's not a red one. No, it's just more venom's. Well, he he tried to do the thing. Can I just say like the Marvel humor's gotta stop at a certain is this Sony?

SPEAKER_01 31:23

This is Sony, so it's all right.

SPEAKER_03 31:25

It's already infected, Sony. It's it's infected Sony.

SPEAKER_01 31:29

That's a big moment, right? Remember, this is a mad the Madame Webb studio. No, no, but I'm asking you. That's a big moment, right? It's supposed to be. I think they're going to be able to do that.

SPEAKER_03 31:37

Why do you got why you gotta fucking just fuck around with it like that?

SPEAKER_04 31:41

Well, because we need people to laugh, Sherm. Are you not abused? Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_03 31:44

Are you not laughing? I laughed when he said we are, and then Venom said Venom too early.

SPEAKER_01 31:49

By the way, do you guys recognize that guy? Yeah. He's the guy, he's the guy who kind of betrayed Doctor Strange and the Doctor Strange video. Oh, yeah, that's right. Yeah. Yep. So it's it's alright, you know, different. It's an association. The podcast I listen to, the Weekly Planet, they're always like the dreaded in association with some with Marvel. Marvel probably hates that. They have to like that they're associated with Sony.

SPEAKER_03 32:11

He was Johnny Flame, then he was Captain America. Um wait, what was it? Johnny Storm?

SPEAKER_01 32:16

Yeah. My bad. No, that that was Fox. Yeah, but I mean he's still in the MCU. Well, Chris Evans, yeah. Like he played Johnny Storm and then he played Captain America. Um, I don't know where this movie's gonna go, by the way. Apparently, this is the last movie. It's gonna cap off here. Good. I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 32:30

I don't know if um if they plan it really blew their load with Woody Harrelson on the second one, didn't they?

SPEAKER_01 32:35

Yeah, and they got um the golem actor to direct it, Andy Circus. Oh, Andy Circus? Yep, Andy Circus directed, they got Woody Harrelson. Um, the only thing I I don't know. You know what would be funny if they're make putting all their bets on Venom 3 and then for some reason, some way, somehow, Craven the Hunter. Ready? Ready for it? They CG out his the horse's big dick.

SPEAKER_03 32:55

I have a funny story about that, but I'll wait until after. Do you like the Venom Horse sale?

SPEAKER_01 32:59

Uh it's wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

SPEAKER_03 33:02

Venom tentacles pulled him back.

SPEAKER_04 33:04

It was okay. I I liked that uh Venom's tongue was sticking out the whole time when it was running. I kind of dig that.

SPEAKER_03 33:09

Well, what movie was Willem Defoe in that was like a like a Jesus Christ allegory? Uh this is relating to the thing about dogma? Maybe. This was relating to the horse stick and getting CGI'd out. Apparently, that's how people found out that he had it Willem Dafoe has a huge penis. Oh yeah. Yeah, because they were like, it's too distracting. We gotta get a stunt double. Yeah. Like actors, someone else's actors couldn't focus because there was a giant horsecock between fucking Willem Defoe's thighs.

SPEAKER_04 33:38

Could you imagine being on set and being told that, like, yeah, no, we we need someone else with this?

SPEAKER_01 33:43

Willem Defoe's so well endowed, like you can't get away.

SPEAKER_03 33:49

Now you all know. I ain't even gotta say anything. I ain't gotta tell people, they just know now.

SPEAKER_01 33:54

Yo, check this out. This wasn't part of our news, but Street Fighter 6 becomes first mainline entry to add guest character, Teases Fatal Fury.

SPEAKER_03 34:00

I think they brought Akuma back too.

SPEAKER_01 34:02

Yeah, remember? No, uh Street Fighter. Akuma guest starred in Tekken.

SPEAKER_03 34:06

He did. No, I'm saying they're they're bringing Akuma back too. Like, I don't think he was in the game yet. No, he wasn't in the basement.

SPEAKER_04 34:11

The fucking Akuma inclusion in Tekken was bizarre. Part of the lore. Yeah, yeah, the extra lore. You tied that bitch in, and it's it like didn't make sense.

SPEAKER_03 34:20

That's the closest you'll get to Tekken Cross Street Fighter. I hope you're happy.

SPEAKER_04 34:23

I'm not happy. I'm not happy at all. That's fucking nonsense, is what it is.

SPEAKER_01 34:27

It's like, hey, Akuma, go beat up this fucking old dude. Dude, literally, it's like also why did you wait so many years? Huh? Why did why did Akuma wait so many years?

SPEAKER_04 34:35

That's what I'm saying. Like, literally, dude, literally, like Heihachi's wife was like, Hey, so I need you to kill my husband and son. And then he waits X amount of fucking years where fucking uh they caused World War III and shit. They cause wars. Uh Kazuya's a full grown ass man, big demon man, and then finally he appears, and his reason is that I wanted a challenge. I'm still kidding. Fuck off. Fuck off. How's Kazuya alive? How's Kazu alive? They just keep throwing themselves the devil gene.

SPEAKER_03 35:05

They don't grow him in a mountain.

SPEAKER_04 35:07

They don't die the devil gene.

SPEAKER_03 35:09

They don't die, dude. They don't die. Yeah, because they have the can I get female Terry Bogard? Uh oh, I would love that.

SPEAKER_01 35:15

You know about that, right? Wait.

SPEAKER_04 35:17

Wait, do you guys I like Terry Bogard?

SPEAKER_01 35:19

Do you guys do you guys also find it funny that every time any Tekken character talks in Tekken, they'll be speaking their own language and everybody just understands each other.

SPEAKER_04 35:27

It's fucking awesome because like just you'll have characters speaking in English, fucking Russian, whatever, and they just like go along with that.

SPEAKER_01 35:34

No, best part. King will be like, Oh, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 35:37

And we know what he means. Or Kuma. It's fucking bizarre. Yeah, and and Kuma, the fucking bear. It's bizarre because it's just like uh, at least with King, he's just a wrestler wearing a mask and he just talked in growl. Committed to the bit. He did. Respect to him.

SPEAKER_01 35:52

You know how like people understand. Commit to those oak leaves. He's committed for 20 years to wearing a fucking Jaguar mask and just going rrr.

SPEAKER_04 35:59

He's stronger than I could ever be, dude. He's stronger than I could ever be.

SPEAKER_01 36:02

Okay, that's not what we were supposed to be talking about. We're supposed to be talking about the colors within anime um movie that I kind of want to go watch. By the way, god damn it. Um it's gonna hit theaters in Japan on August 30th. It doesn't say when it will be. Uh I know the Haiku movie is out right now. Don't care.

SPEAKER_03 36:18

Um, and I eventually want to watch High Q, but right now I don't care.

SPEAKER_01 36:21

Right. Uh but what I'm saying is like there's been a lot more have you guys noticed there's been a lot more like of these anime movies coming to theaters, including like in remote weird areas like ours. Like I would never Demon Slayer's the one that did it.

SPEAKER_03 36:32

A fucking Moogant train popped off, and people were like, yo, they like this garbage. We can make more. We can put this in our theaters. I we watch we watch fucking JJK volume zero on theaters, I'm pretty sure.

SPEAKER_01 36:45

Um, I think last time I only guys gave you this review, but there's a total trailer now.

SPEAKER_04 36:49

I don't know if you guys watch it. Okay, so I remember you showing us the uh this like um I don't know what you call it preview. Yeah, like the preview image here. I remember you mentioning that, but we hadn't actually seen, I think, anything from it.

SPEAKER_03 36:59

$82 an hour on the computer. That's crazy.

SPEAKER_04 37:02

Comments on Crunchyroll news. She's been without work for 10 months. That's insane, dog. Where do I sign up? Oh, it's got a link there. We should click that.

SPEAKER_01 37:10

Oh, yeah, yeah. We should clink that in a submitted.7 blocks, but dude, I was actually looking, I was looking at another Crunchyroll um article, and somebody was like, Crunchyroll needs to do something about these bots. Somebody just replied, Hey, I've been here for over like 15 years. You just need to put up with it. Yeah, they're not gonna do anything. Yeah, that's the real answer. Uh, I don't know. Do you guys want to watch this trailer? I kind of didn't for this, but up to you guys.

SPEAKER_04 37:32

Uh, I mean, sure, we we've already watched trailers for a couple things. All right. Yeah. Some in a third.

SPEAKER_03 37:36

Venom Venom Horse.

SPEAKER_04 37:37

The Venom Horse.

SPEAKER_03 37:38

Oh, I don't like this heart style. Really?

SPEAKER_04 37:39

Nope. I kind of do. Okay, I don't mind it so far. Oh, there we go. That the quality upped as soon as the trailer went further in. There we go.

SPEAKER_01 37:47

Oh, Toho. I don't know. Look at it. It's so vibrant and beautiful. Yo, that water. That w that water? That blue ass water, dude. I I don't speak Japanese, so I can't tell what these what this kanji means. That's pretty that's pretty. I feel like a silent voice and Susume and all those other movies have like been paving the way for stuff like this. Don't you guys think?

SPEAKER_04 38:05

Sorry, I'm getting too absorbed in this. No, I like like the uh I actually really like the designs of the characters, and yeah, the art style is pretty nice.

SPEAKER_03 38:12

The only problem I'm gonna have with this is the music for me, because I don't understand it. You don't have to understand it to enjoy it, maybe. I know, I know. Uh so the only problem I'm gonna have is is this a nothing burger movie where nothing happens and we're just like slice of life the whole time? I was just about to say like a slice of life. Uh you don't like slice of life movies? No, not movies. Like slice of life anime, it's it's few and far in between, but I can watch them. I'm struggling to think. Like, what's what's the conflict here? What's the resolution? Is this just an hour and a half of good vibes? Because I'm gonna be honest, I can't sit through that in a movie.

SPEAKER_04 38:47

I've watched a lot of random ass, like just anime movie shit over the years. I'm trying to think if I ever saw a slice of life one though. And I don't think I have. So like this could be like a coming of age type.

SPEAKER_01 39:00

There's a lot of instruments here, so I have to assume they want to do music or something.

SPEAKER_04 39:04

Well, I fucking hope so, because there were plenty of scenes with them playing instruments.

SPEAKER_01 39:07

Here we go.

SPEAKER_04 39:08

Will it ever beat out your line April?

SPEAKER_01 39:10

I doubt it. Okay, so students with the ability to see colors of other colors of others.

SPEAKER_03 39:16

Sounds like such a nothing burger movie.

SPEAKER_04 39:18

Uh let's see. Um, okay. So yeah, it just seems like kids finding themselves and like, you know, discovering like hobbies or something. Yeah, coming of age. That's what seems like I don't mind coming of age movies. Yeah, I don't I don't hate the premise of that at all. I mean, but is it gonna be interesting? That's the thing.

SPEAKER_03 39:35

I wouldn't let's put it this way. I wouldn't see it in theaters because if I don't go in the right mood, it's not gonna hit. Like, I feel like we could sit down and watch this, but we'd all need to be like in the mood for it. That's why I'm saying, like, if if it's a slice of life anime, I can watch it. I just have to be in the mood for that. And then I get to decide at that point, like, hey, I'm gonna sit down and watch something slice of life. If I go to a movie theater and I'm not in the mood for it, I'm just gonna hate it. It's like the the boy and the heron. This is like I mean, that was that had interesting parts to it. I still didn't like it overall.

SPEAKER_04 40:05

But like well, when we went to uh the boy and the heron, like I really wanted to enjoy it because like I hadn't seen like a Ghibli movie in some time, dude. Like it's been years, but you know, it turned out the way it did, and it wasn't garbage.

SPEAKER_01 40:23

It doesn't mean anything.

SPEAKER_03 40:24

I want to sit down with a Ghibli movie and enjoy it for once. And it's sad that hasn't happened yet. And I've watched two of them. Wait, we'll have to get through some of the other ones, but I really want to watch Howell's Moving Castle because I was fucking rob it's like uh Princess Money and okay, Howell's Moving Castle, and Kiki's Delivery Service.

SPEAKER_04 40:41

I watched Kiki's Delivery Service a shit time when I was a kid, dude, because my my sister was into Ghibli movies. I remember it being fantastic, but I also that's I just don't want to hate it.

SPEAKER_03 40:50

Like I want to enjoy his movies. I think you have to- I wouldn't I wouldn't say I hate them.

SPEAKER_01 40:54

I think he's been glazed so much that you have this preconception that he has to be good. It's kind of like when people go Tarantino is a master of movies, and then some people watch him and they're like whatever.

SPEAKER_03 41:03

Kind of like how I felt about Marine Ford in One Piece. Like people talked about it so much that I thought it really didn't hit. Oh, I see. Yeah, it was fine. Like it was it was good, enjoyable, but you weren't like creaming your jeans. No, like I was like, Is this is this it? Is this this is what the people are talking? I mean, there's emotional parts to that. Don't get me wrong. You're like, well, I mean it's good. Like the ending with the thing that happens, that yeah, that's powerful, but the rest of it was just kind of this enjoyable.

SPEAKER_01 41:32

I forgot we were gonna talk about this.

SPEAKER_03 41:33

You can watch the entire pilot of Hasbin Hotel, and then he just stopped fucking writing it. Or she, sorry, she stopped writing it for two years and made Hell of a Boss instead.

SPEAKER_04 41:42

Dude, the okay, so like the the pilot for Hasbin Hotel, I think was.

SPEAKER_01 41:47

Wait, which one is it? Has been hotel or hell of a boss? Which one what's what?

SPEAKER_04 41:50

So okay, so Hasbin Hotel, uh the pilot you're seeing like right here. So the pilot was the first thing made. Yeah. And then uh after some time and people were just like waiting, they're like, okay, well, where's the show though? You know, years passed by. Now, I can't recall exactly when Hell of a Boss aired, but Hell of a Boss came out and it almost seemed like kind of like a side story type thing. Yeah, you know, to kind of like you know, satisfy people, I suppose, or tell a different story. And Hell of a Boss was fine. I watched like a season and a half of it, and I just stopped because I ran out of episodes to watch at that at that point. But of what?

SPEAKER_03 42:22

Hell of a boss?

SPEAKER_04 42:23

Yeah. Like I binged that shit because one day I got curious, as I do, and I'm like, what's this Hell of a Boss stuff? What's going on here? And then I watched everything.

SPEAKER_03 42:30

So, like the faded, we've been waiting probably five plus years for has been hotel. And me and Salem sat down and watched it. Yep, you watched the whole thing. The the songs were enjoyable. Yeah, the songs were catchy. The rest of it, not so much.

SPEAKER_04 42:44

Yeah, like after waiting this fucking long, you know, you you would expect something that's like super high quality. And I don't necessarily I'm not necessarily saying that the show is like not quality per se, but like they it almost feels like the setting of hell is kind of surface level in a way, where they're not really digging too deep on like how shit works or really getting into other characters' business, really. Like uh in uh Hell of a Boss, uh, you're seeing a lot of different characters and like there's focused episodes on them, like like uh the the one of the demon lords has Modius, like he's getting his own thing and Stolos and a bunch of other characters. But in this, it's just like okay, go, go, go, song, song, song, and then it's like over.

SPEAKER_03 43:25

Is there music in Hell of a Boss?

SPEAKER_04 43:26

Uh yeah, there is. And uh, you know, a lot of it's pretty good.

SPEAKER_03 43:29

So like the thing that I had problems with was like every the the set dressing was more the set dressing was more interesting than anything happening in this show. Like, I want to know about Alistair, I want to know about the the fucking TV demon, I want to just know the hierarchy of these demons and how they interact with each other. And then it was like, No, but hotel to save people from hell. And it's like, I just don't care, man. Like, you know how we always talk about uh that one. On that one music video by Otto with the song Show. Oh we're like, I want I want that that that series that the music video Yeah, like like uh who who the fuck are these characters? Let's see. These characters look cool as shit. Like, I want that. Give me that. Like I love the music, don't get me wrong. But it's like that's how I felt while watching Hasman Hotel, where I was like, I want Alistair, I want the TV demon. Like I I want to know the internal dealings of hell. I do not care about this fucking hotel that has like two people in it.

SPEAKER_04 44:28

Yeah, that's the thing. It's like I want to know more about how this place runs beyond just like, eh, well, you know, there's some lords and whatever. Uh let's focus on the hotel.

SPEAKER_03 44:38

All the cool characters never get to do anything. It's like, oh yeah, we had I'm gonna say Salem's favorite character, Vaggy, fighting the the angels. And like and Charlie, and I think we get a little bit of Lucifer like right at the end.

SPEAKER_04 44:54

Yeah, it it was near the end. Uh Lucifer actually shows up and you know he has a great ass fucking song.

SPEAKER_03 45:01

Yeah, he has a he has a fucking keyblade. Salem got super hyped.

SPEAKER_04 45:04

Oh yeah. So for for the viewers, uh so on the last episode of uh Hasm and Hotel, the first season, fucking Lucifer pulls out a goddamn like sword or whatever, and it looks like a fucking keyblade, and I lost my goddamn keyblade, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 45:18

It's like it's the keyblade. Okay, so what are you guys' expectations for season two? That's what this article is, wraps up season two rituals.

SPEAKER_04 45:25

Okay, so the uh the f the show, uh, I guess if if you're interested in Hasman Hotel, you've probably watched it by now. Um so like it ends on um Adam just dying, and he was like the head dude of the uh the angels that were coming down to wipe clean hell and like kind of keep the population.

SPEAKER_03 45:44

Yeah, they go down every like few months to like hill sinners to make sure they're dead dead. Yeah. Like they're not escaping from hell to keep the population down. And they enjoy that shit.

SPEAKER_04 45:54

They're in the world. Yeah, yeah, they are really into it. Like Adam is like a like a dude bro piece of garbage. Oh my god, he's the worst character. And I like Adam. Yeah, of course you do. He's a fucking he's like the most dude bro dude bro I've seen in a while. Um but like it wraps up, you know, of course they're leading into other shit like uh Charlie's mom, Lilith. Like, we're we're probably gonna find out what's going on with her and everything. Am I excited though? No, not really, because I didn't really enjoy season one.

SPEAKER_03 46:22

Like it this is R E Zero all over again for me. So that's fair. It's not like the simping or anything like that. It's just like, man, I care about everything else happening except what we're focusing on.

SPEAKER_04 46:31

Right. Like, I'm I'm way more interested in hell than I am with Charlie on her fucking safety.

SPEAKER_03 46:37

Even hell, you know. And like Sarah, Emily, like the seraphim, the like the realistic angels. Yeah, that would all be cool. Instead, we got hotel. But the hotel. Yeah, we rebuilt the hotel.

SPEAKER_01 46:48

Do you think you'll get more of that because uh Vivi Vivian Medorondo? Medrano.

SPEAKER_04 46:54

Yeah, you can just call her Vibsi Pop 2, that's her handle. What? Vibsi Pop?

SPEAKER_01 46:58

Okay. So I'm just gonna call her Vivi. Uh you VB in this article over here, so there were two articles. One about how like season two wrapped up, the other one is about how she wants to continue Hasmand Hotel for as long as she can. Uh, do you think if you got more seasons, you'd get what you guys are talking about? Like, you think some of your complaints would be have you got some of the things that you guys are complaining about answered or you see it?

SPEAKER_04 47:18

You think that would lessen uh uh if she's wanting her series to continue for however long, yeah, I I imagine at some point, you know, we'll we'll uh fall into actually explaining more about like the actual universe itself, but like if you got if you got more of the same of season one, you do you think you'd be done? Oh fuck no, I like dude, if if we watch like season two whenever it comes out and it's just more of the same, I just don't care.

SPEAKER_01 47:43

You know, not even going into it.

SPEAKER_03 47:44

Absolutely. I think eventually you could get to the point where it's like man that fucking pilots 31 minutes. Uh I think eventually you could get to the point where we're seeing what we want to see, but we are so far removed from that right now, because season two's gotta be like you left a tab with a video playing. I don't know where uh so yeah, eventually you could get there, but we're so far removed, I don't think it's gonna happen, and I don't think we'll care when it does.

SPEAKER_04 48:07

Yeah, I mean I mean good for fans if like season two turns out to be a banger and they actually like do world building more, but like in terms of like you said, like you and I, I just don't think we're gonna really care at this point.

SPEAKER_03 48:18

I might listen to those songs if they're good.

SPEAKER_04 48:20

Yeah, the songs are good though. I mean, credit for them. Like the songs in um in Hell of a Boss, especially with uh Asmodius and Fizz, are yeah, Fizzarale. Uh those two, like the songs are fucking good.

SPEAKER_03 48:30

Is there a song with Luna? That's the only one I know.

SPEAKER_04 48:32

With Luna?

SPEAKER_03 48:33

Um I don't think so. Luna's the one that makes me question whether I'm that against furries or not.

SPEAKER_04 48:40

Oh, they they made a meta joke about that too. They're like, oh yeah, who would want to sexualize you or whatever, and then everyone looks at the camera for a second and they just go back.

SPEAKER_01 48:48

So that's all to say is I should watch Hasm and Hotel when season two comes out, we can j all judge it.

SPEAKER_04 48:54

I mean, look, if you want to spend your time watching Hasm, go for it, dude. But like I Sherman and I are not gonna say too much.

SPEAKER_03 49:00

Why we told you, like, do not watch it.

SPEAKER_04 49:03

Hell of a boss might be worth your time. I enjoyed watching that. Um, but Hasbin Hotel, it almost felt like they were kind of just rushing through shit. At least that's how I feel about it compared to um.

SPEAKER_03 49:13

It was like rushing, but also dragging. Bringing up uh whiplash from a few weeks ago, like rushing the entire thing, but also like it drags some wrong spots. On my fucking tempo, Neiman.

SPEAKER_04 49:26

So, okay you're gonna be shitting perfect 400s. Fucking line, dude.

SPEAKER_01 49:31

So alright. Well we may come back to Hasbin Hotel, Hell of a Boston at some point, but right now it's I refuse.

SPEAKER_04 49:37

Unless my morbid curiosity kicks in. Alright.

SPEAKER_01 49:40

Well, how okay, how about this? Chainsaw Man, Tatsuchi, Fujimoto, uh new uh manga movie or new anime movie uh trailer. Did we watch this already? Nope.

SPEAKER_04 49:50

Uh big no, sir. Okay. Yo, wait a fucking minute. Was this the one where Can you pull up the timeline again of this video real quick?

SPEAKER_03 49:56

Uh I don't know how you had it. You gotta go to more videos, I think.

SPEAKER_04 49:58

Oh fuck. Okay. Well, the second video in there was yeah, yeah, that one right there. Uh to the left, that one. That one was a big fucking meme for the longest time. Uh is that so okay.

SPEAKER_03 50:07

That's the girl that sung the song in uh solo leveling uh Mouse Over It.

SPEAKER_04 50:13

Okay, well that that's not the one. Uh but my my whole point was just like I recognize that fucking face because it was everywhere.

SPEAKER_03 50:19

Sawano Harno, I think your name is. Yeah, that's the girl that did uh Oh that. Yep, I know exactly what you're talking about, that theme.

SPEAKER_04 50:27

You know, when when the homies get a little you know more affectionate or something and then they they turn into her.

SPEAKER_03 50:31

Yeah, that's the one that sang the uh the that video, whoever sang it was the one that did the uh the music for Solo Loveling. Like that that really good song that I showed you that we talked over. Yeah. I'm not mad. Like I'm just saying it's a good song.

SPEAKER_04 50:44

But yeah, I just wanted to point that out because that made me laugh because I haven't thought about that.

SPEAKER_03 50:47

When the when the homie's acting extra submissive and breathable.

SPEAKER_04 50:54

Salem, where where's why's your hand on my thigh? Oh, and then the music starts playing each.

SPEAKER_01 51:00

So, okay.

SPEAKER_04 51:01

Alright, I'm I'm good. I just I just wait. I was pogging out because I'm like, yo, I remember that.

SPEAKER_03 51:05

Another quick sidebar. Do you remember the like that same meme, but it was like the little girl like dancing in front of a TV?

SPEAKER_04 51:12

Oh, yeah, the where she's doing like this. Yeah, I remember that.

SPEAKER_03 51:15

Anyway, go on.

SPEAKER_01 51:16

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 51:16

Okay, so Fujimoto, he made an anime.

SPEAKER_01 51:19

Uh he made an anime. This was a one-shot.

SPEAKER_03 51:22

Is this about recording his mother like dying and then at the end the ex the hospital explodes? No. Did I ever tell you about that? No, you have not. Uh, so he's like camcording, it's a manga he did. He's like camcording his mother like dying, and the final shot is she's in a hospital and the hospital explodes. Sounds that I interesting, I suppose. Uh Fujimoto, known for his uh Chainsaw Man interesting works to say the least. Yeah, Fire Punch, you're like, oh, is that guy have fire powers?

SPEAKER_04 51:52

So I know the premise of Fire Punch.

SPEAKER_03 51:54

No, he's just on fire.

SPEAKER_04 51:55

Yeah, he's he's just on fire, but he like has the ability to maintain his power.

SPEAKER_03 51:58

So so so he must not feel pain. No, he feels it every second. Yeah, he's gotta deal with it, man.

SPEAKER_01 52:02

I remember Cameron was telling me like the first chapters, like he keeps cutting off his hand to feed his village or something. I was like, what?

SPEAKER_03 52:09

Fujimoto's a character to say the least.

SPEAKER_01 52:11

He's a character in and of himself. Like, what do you guys think of this artwork and this art style? Like, this isn't Chainsaw Man, but what do you think? Uh a different art direction.

SPEAKER_03 52:21

It's fine. It doesn't do anything for me personally.

SPEAKER_04 52:23

The um the previous thing we watched I was interested in. I saw the fucking like the slice of life movie, but this uh it's not doing much for me.

SPEAKER_03 52:30

Run back that frame where she's like turning your head. I saw the chainsaw man art right there. Yep, there it is. Oh, is it? You don't have to pause on it on the exact frame, but it's like, yeah, I can see his artwork right run it running another frame or two. Oh, you mean the um uh I think it's uh not him and oh, but the other one. Um the one that's doing Dance Dance Revolution with Denji is the chainsaw man. Uh you want me to tell you about Cobenny. He turns into full Chainsaw Man and they're playing Dance Dance Revolution. I like that. Yeah, it's right near the end.

SPEAKER_01 53:01

Alright, well, you guys probably won't be into it if you don't want to watch if you don't want to go watch it, that's completely fine. But I will that's something I'm gonna go see.

SPEAKER_03 53:06

Uh I'll watch the slice of life one. Alright.

SPEAKER_01 53:08

So Laura Croft can go together.

SPEAKER_04 53:11

Make a date out of it. Laura Croft. Oh, we have to drag you along, Sherm.

SPEAKER_01 53:15

What do you think of this? Laura Croft anime this fall. Laura Croft. She's gonna be shooting dinosaurs, jumping out planes.

SPEAKER_03 53:21

Laura has fallen off so hard that I have no idea where where what are we doing?

SPEAKER_01 53:25

Uh Uncharted definitely took the reins from Laura. Absolutely. Dude, those Uncharted games were absolutely wonderful. And then I think The Last of Us, I think that's what made me go. Narratives can be different.

SPEAKER_03 53:35

Uh it looks fine.

SPEAKER_04 53:36

Yeah, it looks alright. I'm I mean, I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm probably not gonna watch it. Unless we're all together and we decide to, I'm probably not going to. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 53:43

I think that when they apparently they remade uh they remastered the first three P like the PS1 games recently. I did not know that. And the only games I wanted to play w was to continue the like new Tomb Raider Legacy games, but got sold off to whoever else now owns it by like Square sold off their shit, so like who knows if we're even gonna get a new one.

SPEAKER_03 54:03

So that that series was weird as like a upscale, not uh upscale is the wrong word, but like a like a new gen like game.

SPEAKER_01 54:11

It kind of felt like the GTA trilogy.

SPEAKER_03 54:14

Like we were we were so far removed from Lorecroft, it felt weird that they were like, yeah, let's gamble all our money on this. And it's like the games were good, don't get me wrong, but it's like such a weird shot.

SPEAKER_01 54:26

Apparently they still play like PS1 games, though.

SPEAKER_03 54:28

What the new ones?

SPEAKER_01 54:29

No, the uh the remastered.

SPEAKER_04 54:31

So let me get this straight. They actually remastered like what the first three games like first three, four, whatever they were. What an interesting choice.

SPEAKER_03 54:39

I hope they made additional polygons. I mean trap trap is a good one.

SPEAKER_01 54:47

Let me tell you this. I mean, it's gonna be in English from the get-go, so I could probably enjoy this and do some dishes in the same time.

SPEAKER_03 54:54

I didn't want to say it on in Japanese, and you're like, fuck the English. I'm gonna turn it on in Japanese. I did that with Edgerunners, I'm pretty sure. It was either Edgerunners or another one where I was like, I won't watch this in the Japanese.

SPEAKER_01 55:06

You know, I watched a full episode of Invincible in Japanese. I this isn't that bad, but I don't want to keep like doing this. I was like, the English voice acting. Reading is hard.

SPEAKER_04 55:15

This ain't that bad, turns it immediately back to English. I'm not doing this.

SPEAKER_01 55:17

Oh, JK Simmons is Omni Man, dude. I'm not gonna miss out on that.

SPEAKER_03 55:21

On my fucking tempo, Neiman. Say the line, Bart. Say it. Say the line. Say it. Yeah, I mean, I definitely shitting perfect 400s. God damn it. I don't know how it gets me every time.

SPEAKER_01 55:32

I think Glaura Croft has definitely been shafted, especially by its creators, the people who buy it. I think she's just been done so dirty.

SPEAKER_04 55:40

So the general vibe I've gotten, especially when they release those new games for what, like PS4, right?

SPEAKER_01 55:46

The first yeah, it's like PS3, then they got a definitive remaster of PS4. The trilogy that, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 55:52

It just seems like, you know, at some point, it's just like you get you gotta stop. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_03 55:56

Like you you've taken this property, you've already done your remake stuff, and that's Luracroft always felt to me like, hey, what if we like overly sexualized the character and made a video game around it? I don't know if that's how you guys feel about it. Like not with the newer versions, like the whatever they're called, the what is it, legacy?

SPEAKER_01 56:15

Uh no, like the re the remake.

SPEAKER_03 56:18

No, I guess the new remakes, the the like new old ones now because they're like 10 years old at this point.

SPEAKER_01 56:24

So the I guess you would call it the reboot. The reboot Okay, the reboot. The Laura reboot.

SPEAKER_03 56:29

So but like I feel like those original games were like, well, we just put hot female character doing fun stuff to do in a video game. Uh have you do you remember that's probably the idea for it?

SPEAKER_01 56:38

Yeah, so Sherm, you said you played a little bit of the reboot. Um you remember when she died?

SPEAKER_03 56:43

I played through the first one. Oh man, man, Laura gets fucked up a lot. Oh, yeah. It's like it's like, oh, you missed a quick time event. How about steal rebar through your fucking stomach? Or no, that's just at the beginning of the game.

SPEAKER_01 56:55

Yeah, head comes off, she'll get like tail full of spikes.

SPEAKER_03 56:59

She gets so fucked up. Holy shit.

SPEAKER_01 57:02

You miss some quick time events, or you accidentally fall. She gets fucking Laura's dead.

SPEAKER_04 57:05

This sounds like in the same vein as like um, I don't know about the new RE4, but like the original where there were so many like different death animations for a bunch of different things. That's kind of what that seems like.

SPEAKER_01 57:15

I would equate it to like accident they accidentally started like looking into Mortal Kombat fatalities. They just stumbled into it.

SPEAKER_03 57:22

Literally, like Laura gets so fucked in some of these situations. Like the beginning of the game is you falling down a giant fucking like crevice. Yeah, she just lands and steel rebar straight through the fucking stomach. Uh and it's like, well, you gotta walk around like this for most of the first part. Yeah. Because stomach's just fucked. She probably lost her fucking kidneys or something.

SPEAKER_04 57:42

And then they took that idea and just kind of kept it throughout the rest of the stuff. No, like once you actually chopped off. Once she actually does die when you fuck up. Quick time event when it's a non-scripted event.

SPEAKER_03 57:51

Quick time event of you falling through a forest in a parachute, you miss one. She just smacks a fucking tree. Oh, she's dead.

SPEAKER_01 57:58

Yeah, and for some reason the tree is just like these like deforested and it's full of spikes and yeah, that's right. It's a death tree.

SPEAKER_03 58:06

Yeah, this is the we specifically designed this death tree in case Laura came by and I think even the developers came out afterwards after the first game were like, yeah, I think we went too far. I think we went a little far in some places.

SPEAKER_04 58:16

I'm not gonna lie to you, like I appreciate that they went through the effort of doing that, but I just I look at those games and I don't think gnarly death animation. Why not? You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_03 58:26

Adds realism to this Laura Croft video game.

SPEAKER_01 58:28

I fucking guess put in the death tree. She's raiding tombs. What do you expect? It's the curse of Tumantut or whoever.

SPEAKER_03 58:34

We were really obsessed with like fucking stealing things in movies for a while there. Like uh what na uh like Loracroft Tomb Raider fucking uh national steal steal the declaration of independence. Uh fucking the oceans movies, like we we really just ran the gambit of let's steal some shit. Stealing about it.

SPEAKER_04 58:58

Uh well like uh Mission Impossible, I guess, in a way.

SPEAKER_03 59:01

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. Never seen any of those movies. Neither have I. Well, talking about good movies, Godzilla minus one. We liked it. Trash. I hated it the entire time. Not just right at the end.

SPEAKER_04 59:12

Like, man, what a good ass fucking movie. And I I I love that like when we look back on it, we w ended up watching the non-colored version of the black and white one. The normal one.

SPEAKER_01 59:21

Didn't it it almost kind of felt like we were watching a 50s movie?

SPEAKER_04 59:25

Like it it's kind of weird, but like um at first I noticed that was a black and white, but like my brain really didn't care pretty early on.

SPEAKER_03 59:31

I'm just like I told him, like, it's gonna be so interesting. You go back like you go like 50 years in the future, and people go, Oh, what was when was this movie made? Like in the 50s, 60s, you know, back before they had color. No, 2024.

SPEAKER_01 59:44

Yeah, they just decided to color grade it in black and white, they just felt like it.

SPEAKER_03 59:49

Like, I personally would have liked to see it in color just because my fucking ADHD brain, but it was still good. I enjoyed it.

SPEAKER_01 59:56

I rewatched it in color. It's really good. Yeah, I'm not surprised. Uh he when he recognized it. Yeah, yeah. Uh Did you actually see that? No, I don't watch it. It she's just she's just hurt. Uh, but yeah, it's it's a good ass movie. Like solid until until the end. And then I was pissed.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:13

Oh uh just quickly for the the listeners here. So we watched Godzilla minus one and the boy and the heron in the same day. Uh guess which one we liked more?

SPEAKER_03 1:00:21

The boy and the heron. It was a fantastic movie. Don't don't lie to them.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:25

We were so hyped for Godzilla, dude.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:27

I was fine until the end, and then the ending happened.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:30

Yeah, when she I mean that's what I mean though.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:32

Like in comparison, like she was like 10 feet away from Godzilla, and she's fine. She's okay. She's got a little breeze. Throw more suits on her from fucking kaiju number eight. That'll fix her. Bury her in those. That's right. We just stack enough suits up. But like don't fix her internal organs.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:47

I was excited to see the movie, but like I just like I adored it like all the way through. Like, I was fully engaged in what was going on.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:54

Yeah, he's I same. I fully adored it. I loved it all the way until the end. I think that's the only problem I had with it, but aside from that, I would give it like high eight out of 8.5 out of 10. Like, it is such a good movie. Yeah, I I give it about an eight. Especially like when a lot of the newer Godzilla stuff from the like um monster verse has just been like, hey, two monsters just kind of punching each other.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:16

Is this where I bring up my hatred for the design of Godzilla? Oh, I mean, feel free to touch on it if you want. Uh Godzilla just looks goofy. And I can't get over the fact that his dumb T-Rex arms are Man. Just give me a slu just give him just give my boy some sleekness to him. Give him some fucking reach. Fucking cut down on them thunder thighs a little bit. Give him my make my boy get in there. Because otherwise he just kind of make my boy get in there. Dude, he waddles. Come on. He waddles around. Yeah, you've seen his fucking thighs, his child bearing hits. I understand this is just a carryover from Tokusatsu. Surprised I said that right the first time.

SPEAKER_04 1:01:51

I'm so proud of you, Sharon.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:53

Like, I understand it's throwbacks from when, or like it's the design from when it was just a dude in a rubber suit. Give my boy some action. Give him some long arm. Give him some action. Like, you can keep the tail. I'm not necessarily a fan of the spikes all the way up the back. Sometimes they look goofy to me. I just want a sleek, slim fucking get him in there. Give my boy some fucking movement.

SPEAKER_04 1:02:16

No, I I know what you mean. I mean, now granted, like, I don't know your opinion, Jose Per se on his design. I didn't really mind it too much. Like, I thought it looked solid. I think it looked good.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:25

I think it's the best version that you're gonna get of that. Where it's like the old style of Godzilla.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:30

Well, I mean, there's that uh newer guy. At least he's not Shin Godzilla with a weird mouth at the end of his tail.

SPEAKER_04 1:02:35

There's the 1998 Godzilla. When am I getting Matthew Broadbutt? That's a lot of fish.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:39

Can I get Robo Godzilla? Can we put him in a mech? Yeah, can we put him in a fucking mech suit?

SPEAKER_01 1:02:45

They did that in Congress's Godzilla.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:47

I I can't wait to see put him in a mech suit. I can't wait till I see who he drifts with. Did you not? It's gonna go crazy. You didn't see Congress's Godzilla.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:54

They did that.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:55

They did that.

SPEAKER_04 1:02:55

Now, when you say they did that, do you do you mean like they actually made Mecha Godzilla or they put him in a mech? Yes. Okay, because I was only gonna like one.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:03

You can't say yes to both questions. That's not how this works.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:05

No, no, no. They made Mecha Godzilla, and then somebody put on a helmet, and then he controlled the kaiju, but it turned out that the you gotta be in the robot, man.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:13

No, they what they then it's then it's a robot and it's not a mech.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:17

Oh, yeah, no, it's not a mech.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:18

It's a robot that's being controlled elsewhere. Okay. So so mecha Godzilla.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:24

Look, I don't I don't remember if he was in the robot or not. It doesn't matter.

SPEAKER_04 1:03:28

It's a it's a shitty Godzilla. He was being controlled.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:30

So I'll I mean what I wanted to do with this is just basically be like, look, Godzilla minus one, when I put this on here, it was gonna go on Netflix by the time you know we came around today, because this was a week ago, it already was has been on Netflix, and it has been the number one movie on Netflix for like the past few days. So people are loving this. Like some people are it's their first watch to a Japanese Godzilla. Even some people are like, oh, this is in fully Japanese. Like they watched it. There's also a dub version, which I don't recommend, but apparently the dub has is good. It's by a bunch of famous actors, but it is what it is if like you watch your media like foreign media dub, you know, like go ahead and do that.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:05

I can't be bothered to read this garbage. Give it to me in my native tongue. Yeah, but I have dishes to wash, okay.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:12

But even but even people that are like watching it dubbed in English are like, that was really good. And they're wondering where it fits in the like Monster Verse timeline, and somebody has to be like, hey, this is ain't that.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:22

Can we just enjoy the movie? When when when is Hollywood or other film-related regions gonna get over the fact that not everything has to be in a universe? They don't understand that. Sorry, Sherman.

SPEAKER_04 1:04:32

Good question, Sherman. It's almost like standalone movies.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:35

It really worked out well for Marvel. I mean, they they were doing the best out of anyone, and man, look where that that got them.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:41

They fumbled the bag trying to make us watch like 30 different shows that are filmed.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:46

That's maybe Hulk.

SPEAKER_04 1:04:48

Do I want to watch a lot? What's the full name? Uh She-Hulk Attorney at law or something like that. She's not bothered. This is only loved when she twerked, I really like it.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:00

No, look, even me, who is a She-Hulk fan, because I think She-Hulk is fucking beautiful.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:05

I hate the fact that they always fucking do that whenever it's a female-led thing. Like you saw it with the female Ghostbusters movie where it's like misogynists in their basement are mad that there's an all-female Ghostbusters. And it's like, no, you go watch that, you tell me that's a good movie. You can't. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:20

But Ghostbusters female Ghostbusters is garbage. The only Ghostbusters I've seen is Chris Hemsworth as whatever good character he played in that Ghostbusters. Oh, oh, yeah. That's the only Ghostbusters I've ever seen.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:30

Well, someday we're watching original Ghostbusters. Because that's a that's like a nine, nine out of ten.

SPEAKER_04 1:05:35

I watched some clips um just out of curiosity with Chris Hemsworth like doing his thing in that movie. I I liked him. He was charming. He was he was a himbo. Just a big old himbo. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:44

Um okay, so moving on from all that. Uh wanna give a special shout out to I can't read Kanji. Can you let me know what that says? I don't know what it says.

SPEAKER_04 1:05:55

Yeah, it says uh go watch Godzilla minus one. It's pretty good. That's what it says.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:58

So wanna give a shout out to

SPEAKER_03 1:06:00

uh anime director Akari Shigion correct me Akira Akira Shigano Shigano Shigyano he passed away at the age of 70 um probably by around surrounded by loved ones hopefully that's how you'd want to go um but some of his most notable work Pokemon Yu-Gi-Oh Yokai Watch oh he did crayon Shin Chan Oh you was involved with Yokai Watch as well yep Sailor Moon Crystal let me ask you a question sidebar which would you prefer we have gotten Pokemon or Yokai Watch like as kid like the we you have to pick one series that took off would you rather have Yokai Watch or Pokemon?

SPEAKER_04 1:06:35

So younger me was actually into Pokemon for a time but like I I think Yokai Watch is kind of charming. So I I would probably prefer Yokai.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:44

Fair enough sidebar over. Alright but shout out to that man hopefully he catches up with Akira Toriyama and that other voice actor we brought up on Snake Way I don't know if you remember that you brought that up in different universes he can't be on Snake Way.

SPEAKER_03 1:06:55

Sure no I think you guys are trying to bend the rules of canon that's not how it works I think he can get reincarnated in crayon Shinchan world.

SPEAKER_01 1:07:05

No but he didn't get hit by truck guns so he can't get reincarnated well then how did Akian did um did the seventh prince get hit by a truck and get reincarnated in stop bringing up trash no no no what I'm saying is like in the first episode I brought up the voice actor who died that I kept mispronouncing his name too and Sharon was like he's on Snake Wave with Aki Toriyama. Did I say that?

SPEAKER_04 1:07:24

Yeah different universes that doesn't make any sense because seeing how as you listen to the previous episodes Jose I'll believe you.

SPEAKER_03 1:07:31

Yeah and I have I did not and I'm saying I never said that.

SPEAKER_04 1:07:35

I will Okay okay well I'm I'm gonna have no opinion pull up receipts.

SPEAKER_01 1:07:39

Anyways um shout out to that man shit I can't beat receipts uh the timestamps. Alright so this last one I don't I didn't watch anything besides that yo was that pre-cure that pre-cure where they were all grown up and stuff.

SPEAKER_04 1:07:52

So as a as a quick little side note so I I watched like random episodes and I think most of the ending portion of that pre-cure uh like spinoff or whatever with you Jose. Man what a what an interesting little show that was let me tell you dude the the funniest fucking part was I think it was like early on in the season where there there's this one like uh evil entity I guess uh is the best way I could describe it and it's a fucking dog and in the same goddamn episode they like cut back to a flashback of them seeing the dog like at least four times.

SPEAKER_01 1:08:22

She was so she was so struggling with figuring out whether she wanted to like become a magical girl again or not.

SPEAKER_04 1:08:28

Viewer did do you remember the dog? Is it good?

SPEAKER_01 1:08:32

It's for little girls like never mind precure precure is one of these that is like it's directed mainly towards little girls but utakus and and you know people that are into Moe culture they're gonna hang on to this like it's their li you know like their life depends on it which is why our topic for today magical girls so the only reason not a it's not how you count to a thousand I'm sorry you can't have fucking 17 different fucking series that all count to a thousand the ultimate struggle to get the tab open. Well okay I mean I guess in a franchise so I don't know if they're counting like all of precure as 1000 but apparently Toei back in the day and this will be like in my thing uh used to have a whole different franchise and they called like Mojak which were apparently uh kind of magical girls it was kind of like it predated this they predated pure precure.

SPEAKER_03 1:09:19

You have to do what why oh we talk about how m Riot's fucking fighting game got re renamed to 2K fuck what was it? It's so bad.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:28

The League of Legends guys?

SPEAKER_03 1:09:29

Yeah it was it was originally Project L and then they renamed it to uh 2K 2xKO it's such a terrible fucking name wait well they were making like what they're like a Street Fighter guess yeah have you never seen this I swe I I might have hold on yeah you got your boy Yasuo and Darius and Echo and Jinx uh just look at 2K or 2 2xko yeah Project L such a I was bringing up the fact that the Riot fighting game got renamed to fucking 2XKO and was this done by wait there's a Riot fighting game? Yeah yo okay I'm I'm interested in picking a few buttons I think this might be developed in-house because they bought the software for this looks like ARK yeah I don't think ARK did it though that's too bad. ARK definitely knows how to fucking make a fighting game uh so basically like they acquired because if you remember on the bombcast or on the uh super best friend cast a long time ago they talked about like a like a button fighting game where it was like you're you just had buttons and they were on cooldown. Uh I don't know I think it might have been called Project L a long time ago.

SPEAKER_04 1:10:35

Okay that sounds semi-familiar.

SPEAKER_03 1:10:37

So they they bought Project L, shut it down because they were going to make something with it. Riot did then they revealed they're making a fighting game and then I was totally fine with the name. Project L, fine. Could have could have done better. You know what they renamed it to what they call it 2XKO 2XKO why I'm gonna punch the motherfucker that decided to change that name. Like I'm not even saying project Project L was a good name. I'm gonna punch him in the mouth. Nah dude like you gotta lay some people out sometimes when they make dumbass decisions.

SPEAKER_04 1:11:05

Yeah I'm gonna name it 2xKO I I don't like the name I why didn't they stay with Project L? It sounds fine.

SPEAKER_03 1:11:13

Yeah you could have picked a different name just made it League of Fighters no wait that's that's already a thing. Maybe that's why they were like well we could call it League of Fighter Oh wait someone type that in Google nope not available. Okay route of ideas time to go with uh your suggestion John uh legends of fighters that that can't be taken so okay so let's let's start off we clapped we are magical girl fans are we are we I mean I am I'm definitely a big fan genre is fucking dog shit let me talk polar opposite let me talk to you oh okay fine I'm listening yeah yeah I'm doing a bit in wrestling right now you don't know uh popular wrestler LA Knight comes out and he says let me talk to you and then his uh you know how people used to chant what after everything Stone Cold said oh yeah his is yeah with that inflection you gotta add the inflection to it otherwise it doesn't work yo log into your manga decks remember me oh now you gotta log in next time anyway I saw the key and immediately thought it was fucking uh loser ranger again let me talk to you yeah okay Symfo gear garbage okay so sure don't watch as a veteran Symfo gear fan I'm gonna get them so deep in that they think I hate this garbage and then reel them back in there you go what what are we talking about Symfo Gear awful yeah Symfo gear so how many seasons had you watched five seasons most of them 12 a couple of them probably 24 so I I need to ask you legitimately I forgot your reason so why did you end up committing that much time to Simfo Gear okay so it was like some cars there there there's a whole overarching story. I was watching uh Garnt's video it was one of the seasons of anime and he said he said all those Simfo gear fans keep trying to get me to watch it and then he's like I'm never gonna do it and then he plays a clip and it's a really good it looks good the animation's good and I'm like that looks good and I watched it and it was garbage. And then you watched everything available at the time yeah because I had to get to the part because there were already like three seasons of it are you saying Sinfo Gear is a magical girl show? Yeah it is is it absolutely they do not bring up Simfo Gear as a magical girl bring up Kiriko's transformation right now we're gonna watch it live on pod we're we're already don't watch it watch it live on pod come on I have to show you that this is magical girl oh is this uh Kiriko Death 13 yeah this is the one redeeming factor about Simfo Gear the only one it gets M P H O uh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah you got it you got it you got it you're right like videos yeah right there top one let's go you've shown me this you forgot your linker I've seen this you've shown me this yeah magical girls say I love that you like immediately knew you're just like yeah no I've seen this already this was really just an excuse to watch this again hey that's fine with me I mean it's a good transformation sequence so so magical girls yeah magical girls are classified by so usually a transformation sequence is this you leaning into Kill the Kill being a magical girl show no I'm just saying like yeah this isn't even the best part Salem loves the best part we're getting there we're getting there no not even the feet no trust me so she's Death 13 we're we're literally almost there I can't believe they spent this much money that shit kills me that shit kills me but yeah there we go there we go that's the good shit man also death 13 the X being 10 and the three fingers she's holding up is 13.

SPEAKER_04 1:14:18

Yeah I I love that because then she fucking strikes the pose and then shows it and it's like yeah alright.

SPEAKER_01 1:14:22

So magical girls yeah some magical girls uh usually uh traditionally a transformation sequence uh and then they're just uh fighting fighting crime so that's where you're wrong solving Scooby-doo mysteries I've actually in the past week looked into like what's what's magical girl this version like this what is a magical so this that we we just watched uh girl transforming uh into a very high sequence uh transformation sequence not even in the vein of a Yuyu Haka show or a dragon ball or a Naruto transformation um this common writer this is brand new because apparently magical what is common writer what is common writer good question sure so we don't actually I'm glad you brought up Tokusatsu Tokusatsu keeps coming up to Satsu inspired the magical girl transformations because what really so here I'm I want to make this like five minutes I'm not gonna read all this to you I'm gonna TLDR a lot of this because I I was just reading this because there's a lot of bullshit but so apparently one of the first anime one of the first magical girl animes was back in the 1950s uh with Princess Knight it was created by the Astro Boy guy. Oh I see dude he dude every time I look anything up that motherfucker comes up he created so much bullshit not bullshit because apparently it's all where very well regarded but he created a lot and then the two following magical girl shows were this Himitsu no Ako and Sally the Witch um one of them came out first as an anime and then the other one came out first as a manga. It's like one premiered as a manga first and then they got their anime second. So they kind of were right in rivalry. That's kind of interesting. Okay. So yeah this was between nine 1953 and 1971 took like 18 years of magical girls in the making now in the 70s this is when you're kind of getting your like we're starting to see the seeds be sown of what we're gonna be seeing.

SPEAKER_03 1:16:06

So so what makes the magical girls then in the beginning?

SPEAKER_01 1:16:10

So apparently the concept of a magical girl was not a thing because this is inherently a Japanese thing. Like by the way um the Bewitched has an anime from Japan. Like Bewitched is an American property that was licensed out to Japan and then Japan was like let's just make an anime by the way so they made an anime all right but okay but like at first it was just a girl who can use magic and that was already revolutionary in and of itself for some reason. Which is probably not that hard to think about if you think about other stories like Alice in Wonderland and all this other stuff.

SPEAKER_04 1:16:38

Women can't do things especially little girls of course they can do things no in the yeah we're not but you gotta think about this is like little girl in the kitchen. But what I can't I was gonna say a bad joke.

SPEAKER_03 1:16:53

Oh oh well go ahead Sherm go ahead I said my bit no why why does why does a woman not need a driver's license? Why is that sure? Because there's no road between the bedroom and the kitchen that's a I hate my wife kind of joke.

SPEAKER_01 1:17:06

Yeah a little bit so okay so um this one right here Maho Satsuki Chappie is apparently credited as the first magical girl show where they get their wand and a fluffy animal. So you're kind of seeing like they keep taking things where it's like Princess Knight, Himu, uh Ak-chan, Sally the Witch, Bewitch, like they're all doing the one thing and then another show will come in use up all those elements. And it's trial and error because during this time there was a like quite a few things trying to like uh there's quite a few shows trying to like just formulate.

SPEAKER_04 1:17:37

Right, of course like not everything is gonna be gold especially if it's like this early on and uh what it's doing.

SPEAKER_01 1:17:42

Correct. And then this one right here, Majoko Megu chan was apparently uh a show for little girls but the subject matter was apparently super adult oriented and very problematic for this day.

SPEAKER_03 1:17:55

Don't worry we'll talk about something like that later.

SPEAKER_01 1:17:57

Well okay so right here it says the subject matter was considered too mature for young children at the time issues like domestic violence subuse extramarital relationships domestic violence interesting moral morality sign the contract Madoka yeah and you see like where all like stuff like this came from like um and then it's this one also here Majo Did you read the line that I think you read no I sorry I I was thinking of the the boondocks uh with slick back and he's like Lord let my pimpan strike I read I read the line of Siri's subtle eroticism and I'm like man we uh we we were in different worlds there for a second okay and this is also this is also another one that's credited as being one of the first where it's like um it just inherently like uh pervy. So it's like this is still aimed towards the girls by the way but for some reason you have this these two characters just sexually harassing the main character the entire show.

SPEAKER_04 1:18:51

It's a little odd I'd say it's a little it's a little interesting there.

SPEAKER_01 1:18:54

Like right here um uh let's see later on later Kaguru early version of Gyaru heroin would capitalize on Megu's sexuality it would in fact become a hallmark of the genre uh there were numerous scenes in which Megu wore sheer nightgowns throughout which uh her underwear were plainly plainly visible Rabbi Megu's adopted brother had an arsenal of tricks aimed at catching his big sister disrobed from yanking the sheets off Megu's bed in the morning what we're all thinking and it wasn't just him it was also like the bad guy of the show he was also kind of like uh I the bad guy of the show kind of took it to another level like he tried to kidnap her he hypnotized her oh he once rigged the Megu's bathtub with wheels causing it to race around the city while Megu was in the bathtub.

SPEAKER_04 1:19:40

That's the most extra bullshit how is that your evil master plan I'm gonna install wheels under your back hey it was a 70s man.

SPEAKER_03 1:19:48

Just moving past the line we already went over this man so eventually you gotta keep going further.

SPEAKER_01 1:19:54

So eventually you know we get more magical girls so this was La Belle the magical girl this is a reverse kind of Isekai not really but essentially um essentially what that one did um I can't with that name on the second one oh was it like mommy? Oh it's worse go back is it daddy no go back to the tape uh yeah where where are we here in the second creamy mommy creamy mommy okay the magic angel yeah yeah so it was a idle should we insert some hentai into this list Jose are you sure okay just double checking creamy mommy also so creamy mommy was an idle magical girl anime a few more times yeah just a few more times okay so it was an idle magical girl anime where like a little girl got bestowed the powers of like magical girl for a year and then she grew up from 10 years old to 16 and then she like accidentally wanted into like an idle audition became the best because they asked her to sing she could sing because of the magic. She was a fake this is a this is this is one of those shows of its time that if you watch you'll be like man this is kind of rough but you can't give it shit because it's from the 1970s.

SPEAKER_02 1:20:58

Right it's old as fuck yeah so the one you can give it shit.

SPEAKER_01 1:21:01

So and then LaBelle Magical girl uh main character magical girl one night while sleeping in her magic uh sleeping her magical items wake her up she sees Biscus stealing two magical briefcases after pull after being pulled into earth by Biscus she is adopted by the Tachibanas and decides to stay until she returns home. Um I later found out that she brainwashes the family into thinking that she's their daughter.

SPEAKER_04 1:21:23

Are you serious? Yeah oh oh okay you gotta do what you gotta do I suppose.

SPEAKER_01 1:21:28

So I mean Okay, but the one I really am excited for is this Creamy Mommy that's the No no no not creamy mommy magic girl magical uh magical princess minky momo. So while aimed at young girls with the goal of selling toys the original series attracted a considerable number of older male fans alongside creamy mommy the magical girl angel is credited as one of the originators of the Lolikan utaku subculture this is though this unintended audience allegedly disgusted Ashai Productions founder Satsato Tashoki uh Toshiko helped the show gain a 10% viewer share leading to its run being extended from 50 episodes to 63.

SPEAKER_03 1:22:08

All I'm gonna say is money all I'm gonna say is gushing over magical girls doesn't come out unless this started this way.

SPEAKER_01 1:22:15

Correct. Now listen to this episode 46 of the original series has become infamous due to its depiction of Momo dying after being hit by a truck carrying toys by the way um yeah in an issue of Jap Japanese anime magazine out series writer uh Takeshi Shodo explained that this was due to the toy sponsor Poppy pulling their funding due to poor merchandise sales despite strong ratings. Furious with the decision Ashai Productions revolted in killing the character off at the end of the episode while the character's death was only temporary the sequence was seen as a trailblazer that allowed later Magical Girl productions to deal with darker themes the episode alongside the last uh later inspired a Japanese urban legend linking the series to natural disasters but I love pettiness. I love it so much isn't that so funny they cut their funding and they were like fuck you we're killing your character you by the way the only thing that ended up happening was that Minky Momo gets reincarnated as an actual human being by um the people who adopted her into the like earth I see I see so and by the way she just looks exactly the same. So there was no difference. What a coincidence isn't that interesting oh and creamy and creamy mommy and Mickey Momo had a crossover so that's something you can actually look up. Now as I was bringing up earlier so we get into the 90s because this was all like 80s and prior so we get into the 90s Sailor Moon boom 91 no introduction needed but if you don't know what Sailor Moon is magical girl team of magical girls transformation sequences very iconic. By the way did you guys ever see the hatred that somebody was like hey we we've corrected the color grading for the like um dying Sailor Moon like the 90s because the color was like wrong so somebody went back to fix it and then everybody was in on Twitter was like you ruined it that sounds like something on Twitter say that. Well yeah it it became a whole thing but yeah anyways the Sailor Moon is credited for what we know today as like for like the precure Madoka um stuff that basically is a magical girl and has a team. So that's basically what their uh Sailor Moon is credited as also one of the first shows where it's like hey she becomes a god at the end kind of thing. So uh yeah and it got a lot of its um inspiration from Tokosatsu because it's like hey you got a team of people then they're transforming and they become one they become more powerful blah blah blah and then card captor socra was extremely popular among men in spite of the target demographics uh including themes such as cosplays boys love uh I can't say that word what is that word uh Otsunoko basically waitokonoko do you know what that means uh girls have joystick oh I see I see femme boys let's go card captor soccer very uh and Yuri what does Yuri mean uh girls love so lesbians and gay people why you put the boys love word in there uh this is just I got this from Wiki so uh but yeah really uh you know uh giving many demographics a lot of love and interest I see in card captor soccer that's not what I expected yeah so uh card captor soccer 98 by Madhouse by this point we're far removed from Minky Momo um I'm pretty sure these studios know like who's watching what so they're like let's just give them what they want. Um by the way uh apparently in one of the final episodes of the original series um what do you call it card captive soccer was airing its final episode and apparently a sumo wrestling match went into overtime and people were recording card captive soccer so they had recorded their VCRs were set to record at six set to end at 6 30 it went on for five minutes longer than it needed to go so people if they if their VCR started stopped recording at 6 30 they didn't see the ending that oh that's apparently people on online boards uh for card captive soccer were fucking beery oh I can only imagine just how fucking angry a lot of people must have been imagining you imagine you were recording Torador and you never saw the best part of the end you'd be so pissed oh yeah oh yeah it just cuts off and gets sumo wrestlers oh yeah yeah it's like that it's like when the Torador ending started and you just went that's it and you just stopped watching oh yeah it's like that one episode of Kill O Kill where they were like recap episode and then I stopped watching it. Yeah so but pretty much what happened after that is just basically the subgenre became uh became new ground for different type of things so like you got uh precure just went into more Sailor Moon type of stuff but more toned down and for like hit children. Uh Magical Girl Lyric on Hannah is a spin-off of an error called Triangle Heart. Uh and then you got probably the one we'd be talking about the most Madoka Magica. Yes yes I fucking love that series dude uh little witch academia is considered good little witch academia is considered a magical girl that's really magical girl I know but they like to consider it a magical girl and so do they like to consider kill a kill. Kill a kill is a magical girl. Uh fake fake Khalid Liner Prisma Ilia what do you mean you want to have this fight now?

SPEAKER_04 1:26:57

It's not much of a fight like I know where you're coming from I just I don't see it. Which one? Well you're uh kill a kill. Kill a kill's because like I I know where he's coming from I just I to me I just don't see magical girl in it.

SPEAKER_01 1:27:07

That that's all I can listen the only thing I see that's magical girl is a transformation but there's nothing really magical girl about it. Transformations aren't attributed to magical girls because well you also get transformations in like other stuff. So it's like it's not inherently a magical girl plus it's not magic.

SPEAKER_03 1:27:22

Karen Lagan What is classical a magical girl classical magical girl anime my favorite.

SPEAKER_01 1:27:28

Oh I see I see by the way while I was researching it turns out that because of the 90s um Sailor Moon wave it inspired uh other animated shows like uh I don't know if you guys have ever watched Witch or Wins Club totally my shit dude oh my god memories are just coming back did you have the same thing when I saw Totally Spies?

SPEAKER_04 1:27:48

Totally Spies dude I never actually watched Totally Spies dude totally fucking Winx Club though? Oh dude when I was younger I watched the fuck out of Winx Club man. Yeah. Like the fucking uh I loved the opening back in the day. Power puff girls. Yeah. Powerpuff girls as well.

SPEAKER_01 1:28:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:28:03

Those are magical girls.

SPEAKER_01 1:28:04

Freak accident, but yeah, they're magical girls. Like they're weird. They fight a monkey. Like, come on. They fight the devil.

SPEAKER_04 1:28:09

No, they fight Mojo Jojo. Mojo Jojo. Oh yeah, Mojo Jojo. Are you talking about him? Is that your talk? Him. Dude.

SPEAKER_03 1:28:18

I love that shit, man. I feel like Christians probably got pissed when that happened.

SPEAKER_04 1:28:21

Oh, they definitely name the devil him. And then it's so I don't know why. I just love that. Him. Mojo Jojo.

SPEAKER_01 1:28:29

And then there's been a couple of like subtle flirts, flirting with magical boys, like Hute Earth Defense Club. Just boys that turn into mad. Like they transform and they're like in skirts and stuff, but they're still boys.

SPEAKER_04 1:28:40

Oh, uh, is this a zombie? I watched the majority of that back in the day.

SPEAKER_01 1:28:45

That's a boy. Um it's a boy dressed up as a girl.

SPEAKER_04 1:28:47

Yeah, like literally, it's like what? It's like a magic chainsaw or something, if I remember correctly. And he literally gets like a fucking beret type puffy hat. He gets the fucking like, I think, leggings and shit.

SPEAKER_03 1:28:57

Important question. Was it good?

SPEAKER_04 1:28:59

Um, okay, so this was during Is this horny sale? Yeah, it was more in that era. Uh, but even so, uh, it's alright. I I wouldn't say to watch it, that's for sure.

SPEAKER_01 1:29:09

This is what I was talking about with Magical Girl Ode.

SPEAKER_04 1:29:12

Um, what is going on here, dude? Look at these bros.

SPEAKER_01 1:29:16

This is pre-NOWAY! Yeah, this is her when she's not transformed. That's her when she's transformed. They just This is insane, dude. Jojo characters. Oh my god. By the way, their mascot is a Yakuza man. Seriously? Yes. Oh, this might be alright.

SPEAKER_04 1:29:32

This might be alright.

SPEAKER_01 1:29:32

And like I was I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 1:29:33

And like I was expect a full report on this on Monday.

SPEAKER_04 1:29:37

And like I was telling you guys that I expect this on my desk, 9 a.m. Like I was telling you guys.

SPEAKER_03 1:29:41

Fucking tempo, Neeman.

SPEAKER_01 1:29:43

The fifth episode is just like them trying to figure out how they're gonna turn in a manuscript for the next Magical Girl episode and it becomes a Godzilla parody. It's so funny.

SPEAKER_04 1:29:51

That sounds pretty good. And this was what 2018? Yeah, it was 2018. Damn, dude. Okay. Now, um could you pull up uh is this uh a zombie or whatever real quick? I just I just want to get my point across about like the character design. Yeah, yeah, that one. Okay, so that that uh you're the girl you're seeing right there is like the that's the character's like actual form, I suppose. But the fucking dude literally like takes her chain song, like turns into that, but like him. So uh yeah, I don't remember being very good. Yeah, that dude. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:30:19

He's uh he's a whole boy and then he turns into a whole girl. And like, nah, he does he turn into a girl or is he just a boy in girls' clothing?

SPEAKER_04 1:30:26

Oh, he's still a guy, but he he he's rocking the outfit though with the chain song. Doing really well. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:30:31

Um okay, so But in any case, yeah. So we I okay, I watched Madoka Magica because you guys were like, because I recommend it, because you were like Maggia Record last week. You didn't watch any romance because you watched Maggia Record. There's romance in Maggia Record.

SPEAKER_04 1:30:45

Well, it possibly could be. It's possible. Well, yeah, well, because like um when Sherm and I were talking briefly, like on the way back to my place, uh, Maggia Record got brought up, and I think Sherm asked me if like I'd watched it or whatever, and it's like, well, I I watched like an episode or two, I think, but I never completed it. So that night I I turned it on and then I just started binging that shit. And I ended up completing season one of Maggie Record. And I like uh Sherm and I have our problems with it. Um at least from what we discussed uh before. I I did enjoy it though, even though there are some issues with it. Um but yeah, I I think it's pretty good.

SPEAKER_01 1:31:20

Madoka Magic. It's like at this point, we're gonna talk about Madoka Magica and we're gonna spoil it. People should not listen further because this is definitely one of those shows that they have to experience in blind, especially if you're not an anime fan and you're kind of thinking of maybe getting into it. If you've gotten to episode six and still not watched anything, and you're thinking, like, what should I start with? Madoka Magica. Because if you can stomach Game of Thrones, if you can stomach any of this other like Western stuff that's been coming out, Madoka Magica will be a breath of fresh air. You will never know you needed it. Okay, so I actually have a doc here for you guys. Um, so I decided to document yeah, I decided to document my experience with um Maggia Records. No, with Madoka. You documented your experience? Yes. So it's a 10. So Madoka, let's see. Here we go. Let's see. Madoka's family's ballin'. Two sinks uh for familial bonding time because you know you gotta have a conversation while brushing your teeth. Madoka's mom makeup set looks OCD as fuck. At seven minutes and thirty seconds, she finally puts the bread in her mouth.

SPEAKER_04 1:32:19

Look, man, look, her mom is fucking styling and profiling. She has a routine.

SPEAKER_01 1:32:23

Mom wears the pants. There's a killer, there's a character that I've never seen in any promotion material, and she'll be written off. This is the first episode, by the way. It was the girl who liked the friend. Um fuck, I can't remember her name. Um what the fuck is up with what the fuck is with these window classrooms? I'd definitely be goofing. A Kemi is fucking blazer in her introduction. Do you have opinions that aren't jokes? Uh do they live in 3024? Yeah. That's what I was worried about. So, no, I I really enjoyed it. I do have opinions that aren't jokes. But look, but like this was a lot of like what I was oh, trio finale just means final shot. She was speaking Spanish.

SPEAKER_04 1:32:55

So I I enjoy that you wrote right there the music slaps. Respect. Music slaps. It does. It fucking hits, man.

SPEAKER_01 1:33:00

What do you what do you guys think? Like, dude, I don't know if you've ever played uh you guys I know you guys have never played God Eater, but there's some music in God Eater that I heard from here and I was like, holy shit, that's so god eater.

SPEAKER_04 1:33:09

Does it have like really strong like uh female vocals in it and stuff?

SPEAKER_01 1:33:13

Yeah, like the ending after like the after like spoiler alert, mommy dies. Actually, what the fuck kind of death was that? What what do you mean stupidest fuck?

SPEAKER_04 1:33:21

What what do you mean, dog?

SPEAKER_01 1:33:23

He just stands there?

SPEAKER_03 1:33:24

We we can Brother Brother liter okay, I I can I can get into this. Defend it. I can. Okay, so we can't have them watch things we like.

SPEAKER_04 1:33:31

Okay, so like literally when she uses her finisher, I'll call it, I guess. Uh when she uses her finisher on Charlotte the Witch, right? The little doll. Um, so when she shoots Charlotte, Charlotte's like, I guess you could say real body, like shoots out of the mouth of the doll. You literally see Charlotte moving so fucking fast there's like barely any time, and then it catches her. That's that's what happens.

SPEAKER_01 1:33:51

Do we want to rewatch that? Yeah, we can. Okay. Because I feel it up right now.

SPEAKER_04 1:33:55

I I actually watched the clip earlier today. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 1:33:57

Because I feel she stands there.

SPEAKER_04 1:33:59

Brother, what? I I was just curious. I wanted to see other people's reactions to Madoka, so I watched the. Oh, were you watching redac reactions to Madoka?

SPEAKER_03 1:34:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:34:06

I wanted to see the the mommy scene.

SPEAKER_03 1:34:08

I do like watching people's reactions to things I like. Pinim mim mim. Spoilers. Oh, did they put the persona music in the background? That is what exactly what that is. I was about to say, this sounds a little too funky for what's going on right here. Yeah. Mute this might be copyright. Okay. I get it. Yeah, big canon.

SPEAKER_01 1:34:23

Three old finale, our final shot.

SPEAKER_03 1:34:24

Yeah, you you say she wasn't expecting the sudden.

SPEAKER_04 1:34:27

Yeah, like like Charlotte's moving so quick that, like, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:34:30

Okay, but do you understand? She throughout this entire um throughout this entire show, she's shown us that she is one of the she moves fast, she reacts quickly, that she this shouldn't. She thought she killed it.

SPEAKER_04 1:34:40

Yeah, well, I mean, because like, you know, she was like super high spirits. She thought she could take care of Charlotte, no problem. And it's kind of funny how much she like was seemingly bodying Charlotte in this, and then that happens. Um, but like, yeah, no, she was caught off guard. Charlotte moved so fucking quick that like you you see it approaching her, and the mouth's opening in slow-mo, and then it catches her head.

SPEAKER_01 1:34:59

Okay. One more time. One more time for the road. Hits it, right? There's enough reaction.

SPEAKER_04 1:35:03

Yeah, she moves her head and then Charlotte literally rushes in and then You guys are defending it too much.

SPEAKER_01 1:35:08

Look, I get it's a good death. I liked it.

SPEAKER_04 1:35:12

It was You said you didn't like it though.

SPEAKER_03 1:35:14

Was this before it slapped you over the head with existential horror and you were like, Yeah, everything's fine, and then yeah, when I first watched this show back in the day, yeah, I was like, Oh, yeah, I'm glad mommy had this friend.

SPEAKER_04 1:35:25

Magical girls, everything's so cute and pretty, and then mommy's gonna be the mentor and she's gonna take care of them and everything, and then makes me sad what happened what they did to mommy and fucking Maggie record.

SPEAKER_01 1:35:35

So did you guys when you guys first when you guys first watched this, did you know she was gonna do that?

SPEAKER_04 1:35:42

I knew someone died, I didn't know it was mommy. Like I I first watched Madoka like literally back during my early anime days. So like we're talking like middle state. Yeah, it still was. It still was still horny sailing. Sale one's gonna make a chart that you watch. Documenting my arcs entering horny sail mare. So um, well, but yeah, I mean I watched this very early on, and all I had heard was like, you know, Madoka's like a good show. Like you you look up, you know when you're young and you're looking up like what anime should I watch or whatever. Like Madoka was on there, and I'm like, yeah, okay, I'll I'll give it a go. I mean, I've been watching harem, so nothing's below me.

SPEAKER_01 1:36:16

Okay, so when you watched, what like how how in were you? I knew it uh I was very I had no idea what happened in the show. So I knew that somebody would go. And when I saw that the only magical girl around was Akami and Mommy for a good minute, I was like, it's definitely not Akami, so it's gotta be mommy. Only deduction I could make. And I think what upset me was the way she died. Because if you see, like I understand where you guys are coming from, but for me, it's just like she could have moved. She she already showed that she had fast reflexes, could like adapt to the situation, which made it even more what the fuck kind of a thing for me. So that's just like one of the that's just a gripe I had with it. Aside from that, um, did you guys see that the end card for episode two had humongous from Mad Max 2 in it? It was very funny to me.

SPEAKER_04 1:36:56

I uh I don't know. Like talking about Madoka. Like my memory of Madoka's pretty good, but if we're talking like the the endings and stuff, like I remember the fucking awesome ending uh that comes in after the first one. So if I remember right, the first ending from Madoka is like fairly upbeat, and then when shit starts happening, then it changes to like super fucking.

SPEAKER_01 1:37:13

Yeah, that's humongous. And that's at the end of uh episode two end card. So I thought that was really funny. I was like, I was like, I see where they're kind of getting with I was like, they're kind of hitting you with the trolling, they're kind of hitting you with the like, haha, we're making jokes too. Um, but yeah, you're right.

SPEAKER_04 1:37:26

Like this show if you have good taste, he looks cool. It's just a shirtless guy with a mask on.

SPEAKER_01 1:37:31

Yeah, he's unfortunately in Mad Max, he does not have assless chaps. But this was but this was a pretty good show. Like, these were some of the gripes I had with it. Now, I had more good to say, but I wrote down the bad things because I thought they were funny, anyways. It's a great nine to me. I loved it. It was great. So if you guys are saying that Magio Record does not hit or even come close to, if you guys are saying that it goes from a nine to like a seven or six, then I don't even want to attempt Magio Records.

SPEAKER_04 1:37:54

Um I would call it a seven, but I mean again you're crazy, brother. Um, but I mean honestly, like, I mean what? You haven't watched Rebellion yet, right?

SPEAKER_01 1:38:05

I got like 20 minutes in.

SPEAKER_04 1:38:06

Okay. Uh I'd say watch Rebellion for sure. Um, Rebellion again. Oh, uh that's the movie that was like the continuation of.

SPEAKER_03 1:38:13

Was it the one where someone becomes a witch? Yes. Yeah, okay. Yep. Uh we watched that too. I don't remember Rebellion, but it was good.

SPEAKER_01 1:38:21

And if you guys didn't know, there's a fourth movie coming out this year. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:38:24

Yeah, dude. Uh like literally, since I was watching uh Maggia Record, I looked up information on it because I'm like, when when is this shit coming out? Um so I didn't find anything too concrete, but I watched the uh the actual trailer because I watched the teaser back when.

SPEAKER_01 1:38:38

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:38:39

I watched the actual trailer and I'm like, oh my god, this music's fucking good, dude.

SPEAKER_01 1:38:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:38:43

Um I know I'm really excited for it. I just I hope it comes out soonish. It'd be great if it was this year at some point, but I haven't seen anything too concrete.

SPEAKER_01 1:38:50

What's upsetting is that maybe I'll put it, maybe I'll put like an end card disclaimer. It's like we're gonna talk and spoil Magia record at this point.

SPEAKER_03 1:38:56

But um I don't really want to talk about Maggia record.

SPEAKER_01 1:38:59

Oh, sorry. Am I on the right track to you guys? Say to say somebody who's never watched any anime. They maybe avoid it because of the stigma. I would not start them on Mundoka.

SPEAKER_04 1:39:07

I wouldn't either, no.

SPEAKER_01 1:39:08

So what magical girl would you guys start them off with?

SPEAKER_03 1:39:10

I wouldn't. Sailor Moon Crystal? I would not start them on Magical Girl at all. Like it's gonna turn them off immediately.

SPEAKER_04 1:39:15

Um, like, I don't know. When it comes to magical girl stuff, and I mean it it's the only way I could like make a symmetrical point to it is kind of like Tokusatsu in a way, where it's like if you like catch whiffs of it, you're you're probably either gonna be interested enough to check it out and possibly like it, or you're just gonna be like, no, this just isn't for me.

SPEAKER_01 1:39:33

You know what I mean? Do you think um something like card captor soccer can maybe get them in?

SPEAKER_03 1:39:38

There's I just how many episodes of card captor are there?

SPEAKER_04 1:39:40

There's like a couple on uh Crunchy Roll, because I I was trying to actually watch Card Captor Sakura, but I I was telling Jim this before, but when I tried watching it, there was an error. Uh there was like I think 51 listed, but I'm sure there's probably more as well. But on Crunchyroll, at least with uh card captor, it was like fifty one, and I don't know if that was like season.

SPEAKER_03 1:39:58

I think that's the only reason I haven't watched card captors because it's long. That's the thing too.

SPEAKER_01 1:40:02

It's there's uh filler in it, and I think at the time they were writing the manga and um the show was running, so they ran out of stuff and they started doing like you'd see where I'm going. Oh yeah, it's it's uh situation. It's the f FMA situation where I think they should come back and remake card captor, but you'd lose something because I've said this before, I adore that 90s, early 2000s aesthetic. So if you remake it, you're gonna lose a little bit of something. Just like Sailor Moon Crystal. I enjoy that it's like 101 of the manga, but it did lose a little bit of that 90s aesthetic to it.

SPEAKER_04 1:40:30

I I understand where you're coming from on like the charm standpoint of it for sure. Uh it's just But that shouldn't deter you from watching it. Like a small part of me at least would hope that like, you know, since there is plenty of material now, and if people do enjoy it, they would at least try again. You know what I mean? Like same thing with uh FMA Brotherhood. Like the manga was like either complete or near completion, like, okay, we have enough material, let's do this shit again. And it was a banger.

SPEAKER_01 1:40:51

So um we uh one of our first episodes we actually reviewed Gushing Over Magical Girls. Definitely not one people should start on. Yeah, maybe maybe not. That is definitely not one you want to start with.

SPEAKER_04 1:41:01

And that's why it's kind of hard to like say, okay, so where would you start off in this specific genre? Because it's just like, how do how do I put this? It's it's inherently something that I don't think your average Joe, uh, you know, especially uh when it comes to age, is gonna look at and be like, okay, this looks pretty good, I'm gonna give it a shot. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_01 1:41:19

I think, well, not per se, but when that minky momo or the uh mommy one, the what is it, sour mommy or whatever it was. Creamy mommy. How could you forget? So when creamy mommy or whichever one it was, when they were airing that, it's like it's people like us who gravitate towards this kind of stuff, and we're just like, hey, the character designs are great, the story we find it great, um, we're enjoying this, and then they get upset, you know, they got upset about it at the time. It's like, oh, this is for little girls. It's like, hey, well, I'm enjoying it too. I don't know if like this is how bronies fail, but apparently heard it here first, Madoka. Little girls. Start them early, clearly. But they this list of uh magical girls.

SPEAKER_04 1:41:58

Bring them to reality as quick as possible.

SPEAKER_01 1:42:00

It includes like One Direct Priority. Now I never got through this series because I felt like it just kind of fell off. It kind of dropped the plot, but I do remember them like one of them had like a giant hammer, another one had like a giant axe and stuff like that. So I came in for that, but then it was too much kafuffling. Now, this list right here kinda um I might put it in the description or not, but it's got like everything magical girl, and like there's a lot on here, goddammit. Uh there's a lot on here, but what I'm saying, like, I guess what we're saying is like this genre is very specific. Also, if you're kind of like reading manga, there's more magical girl manga out there than I guess there is anime. Because there's been a lot of like magical girl manga that I've read rather than anime. Like, what is your guys' like history with magical girl? Like, I guess is what I want to ask. Like, what do you when we do when you go to watch an anime and you kind of see okay, sure. Sinful gear.

SPEAKER_03 1:42:48

You went into Sinfo Gear, but did you go in it for Magical Girl or did you go in because No, because it looked cool, and then it wasn't on four fucking like five seasons of that absolute dog shit. The music was good sometimes. They do a lot of singing, sometimes actually. Yeah, oh right. They're like singing idol magical girls.

SPEAKER_01 1:43:04

So do you think somebody who's into idol culture would be into it?

SPEAKER_03 1:43:08

Not as a no, probably not. Uh I idol culture is is uh if you're gonna if you're gonna get into idol stuff, you'd have to look at like I don't know, like uh Oshinoko or like uh Zombieland saga, something like that.

SPEAKER_04 1:43:23

Yeah. The um what the idol master stuff. If if that's is that good? No idea.

SPEAKER_03 1:43:28

Uh I I need one of us to deep dive so that way we can tell the other one.

SPEAKER_01 1:43:32

If I do it, you can't you can't be mad when I bring back.

SPEAKER_04 1:43:35

I I can, but the problem is that I will not consume anything else if you put me on this path.

SPEAKER_03 1:43:41

So keep in mind you can't be trusted anyway.

SPEAKER_04 1:43:44

But I'll hold the answers of Idolmaster. Because the designs look good, but I always go Oh yeah, they do.

SPEAKER_03 1:43:51

I always go, how much Idol Master is there? That's too much. Idol Master.

SPEAKER_04 1:43:55

There's too much shit, dude. Like games, uh, the actual like animated like adaptations of stuff. Like, if if I got curious enough and I was put on this path, I could, but it's it's gonna take so much fucking time, dog.

SPEAKER_01 1:44:07

Um here's another one that actually got an anime that I for completely forgot about. Blu-ray uh blue reflection ray, that blue reflection video game. That was a that was a magical girl. Um that was a magical girl video game, and I've never come across another one.

SPEAKER_04 1:44:20

Well, so because I I know you like Blue Reflection, and I I got a little curious about it myself, but when it comes to the anime though, so like is this from the game or is this like an in-between thing or it's kind of like I guess magic magical records? Or it's like a kind of a spinoff, I think.

SPEAKER_01 1:44:34

Side story, it like takes place in the same universe, characters are mentioned and like drop. But yeah, like okay, in my opinion, I think Magical Girl is one of the best subgenres of this anime that I could ever deep dive because there are some people that do some really funny stuff, and then you just get like the old shit that like has been around forever. Like, you know, Sherm over here telling me Kill A Kill is Magical Girl. Now I will say it is no and yes.

SPEAKER_04 1:44:57

Yeah, that's where I'm standing. Like, I I see it, but just in my brain, I don't look at kill a kill.

SPEAKER_03 1:45:02

You're fucking crazy. So you gotta I I guess I'm crazy.

SPEAKER_04 1:45:08

But like I I see where you're coming from though. Like, I I understand that. It's just I can't see it as one.

SPEAKER_03 1:45:13

It's just like talking about there's so many transformations. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They can do magic. How do you think she makes blades on Senkettes? She can't fucking do that with some other there's no button on Senkats that goes blade mode.

SPEAKER_02 1:45:26

I kind of Jack is back. Doctor, turn off the plane.

SPEAKER_01 1:45:32

There was um, I don't know if you guys are you familiar with either of you familiar with magical girl site?

SPEAKER_04 1:45:37

Okay, so I brother, I I watched one episode. Brother, let me tell you, brother. Uh, and no, I'm good. Dude, okay, I I need I need to get this. He's gonna rant. He's gonna rant. So, okay, Magical Girl Sight. Um, so the only thing I liked was that the fucking like dude that provided the powers to the girls is voiced by Mayuri Kuratsuchi from Bleach. That's the only thing I like.

SPEAKER_03 1:45:59

Also the voice actor Frieza. Yes, sir. And Caesar Monkey. Monkey. Monkey. No, but he doesn't say that in English.

SPEAKER_04 1:46:07

But um, the fucking like it's it's so comically like cruel to the main character. Like, literally, like, um, I'll I'll just flat out say it. So literally, her classmates, like, I think, killed a cat that she had found as like a stray in like the classic cardboard box type thing. They fucking kill that. They uh try to like convince an upperclassman to like R word her? Yes, to R word her. And like her brother, who's like this overachieving, like fucking top-tier, like ideal son, right? Like he's gonna be a doctor or some shit. He beats her up in his free time because apparently his family's expectations are too high on him, and I guess that pisses him off. So he literally like will just beat her the fuck up in his free time. Yeah, this is I I am now removed from any interest because this is so comically over the top cruel to her. I I just I don't care. You didn't like the gun? Uh well, uh, the gun was interesting actually. Because like when she shoots it, like apparently it will teleport whoever she shoots somewhere else. Am I right? And they got ran over by a train. Yes, sir.

SPEAKER_01 1:47:12

Um, that same author made another series called Magical Girl Apocalypse.

SPEAKER_04 1:47:16

Okay, so I I've read a few volumes of that manga and I I enjoyed it.

SPEAKER_01 1:47:20

So same author, yeah, different cup of tea. You didn't like shit in one, but you liked a piss.

SPEAKER_04 1:47:26

Sure, sure. I'll I'll go with that. I magical girl apocalypse uh just aesthetically and like it just it just it hit something with me. It was just really interesting. Like so many of the different like, you know, for magical girl apocalypse, like the different evil magical girls, like they all have really unique, cool ass designs. Like there, there's one that's a parasite that will like infect people and like take over their body and shit. Like it's really cool.

SPEAKER_01 1:47:48

Sure. I need you to tell me about the I need you to tell me about the League of Legends and Magical Girls, because I've thought about diving in, but I've just never have. What do you know about it?

SPEAKER_03 1:47:56

You're gonna have to be way more specific.

SPEAKER_01 1:47:58

League of Legends, Magical Girls? Don't they have don't they have that?

SPEAKER_03 1:48:01

No. Not for League of Legends.

SPEAKER_01 1:48:02

I swear to God, you were like, this is their magical girl outfits or the skin.

SPEAKER_03 1:48:05

Oh, I mean the Star Guardians, yeah. Yeah, like they have a skin line called the Star Guardians.

SPEAKER_01 1:48:09

It's like is there any lore behind the skin line?

SPEAKER_03 1:48:12

Oh, absolutely not. Really? No.

SPEAKER_01 1:48:13

I feel like that's a missed opportunity.

SPEAKER_03 1:48:15

No, it's like, hey man, how can we dress less uh lux up and you'll buy this shit because you're fucking horny teenager? I guess. So weird. Fucking league's audience has like become like it's no longer teenagers playing league, it's like 30-year-olds playing league because they can't attract new people.

SPEAKER_01 1:48:31

There's see, like, a lot of the people I was working with in my prior job were playing league, but a lot of them are just like like we have other things to do, like other things to pay for. So League is a free game and we have a squad of five, so let's just do that.

SPEAKER_03 1:48:44

Yeah, I mean it's f I always said the best time to play League of Legends is with a group of people because like you play by yourself, you're gonna hate yourself. Do not do not play League of Legends alone. That's my disclaimer on this one. Also, do not watch Simfo Gear. Both bad.

SPEAKER_04 1:48:58

And I'm glad that you made that clear to me very early on when like I learned that you like knew about League and shit. Just just don't don't play it if you can't.

SPEAKER_03 1:49:07

Interact with things around League, like the the the music, the music they do, the the arcane season one. Hopefully season two is good. Right. Like, do not interact with the fucking video game League of Legends. It will interact with the fighting games, it will fuck you up. Like, do not it is psychological torture that someone designed for it to be that way, and it's you're trying to hit that dopamine receptor to keep you coming back, and it's I finally broke it and I don't want to go back. No more. I see. Well anyway, there's uh there's magical girl skin line in League of Legends.

SPEAKER_01 1:49:39

Okay, cool. I if I ever go back to League, maybe so they consider panty and stocking with garter belt in magical girl? Okay.

SPEAKER_03 1:49:47

Oh, they they have a transformation sequence.

SPEAKER_01 1:49:49

So Powerpuff Girl Z. I don't know.

SPEAKER_04 1:49:56

That that requires that requires magic. I don't know. No, there there's just some like barrier in my head that's just like not seeing it as a hater.

SPEAKER_03 1:50:05

You're gonna go to your shame corner. Did I say Kill a Kill was bad? I never asked you if it was. I already knew the answer. Yeah, I'm not being a horrible show I've ever seen.

SPEAKER_01 1:50:14

Oh so okay, so are we in agreement that the magical girl genre is one of the okay, so I guess what I want to say is like in my opinion, the the magical girl subgenre is a subgenre that is a little hard to get into.

SPEAKER_04 1:50:26

Without a doubt.

SPEAKER_01 1:50:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:50:27

Like you have to be in a specific this is your this is your 15th fucking anime you watch because you're like ran out of what looked interesting to me. I ran out of Demon Slayer. People talk about people talked about Madoka a lot. Let's check that out. Oh my god, it's psychological. This is perfect.

SPEAKER_04 1:50:43

Like literally, if I hadn't uh when I was younger, like look up that list of like you know, top 10 anime, you know what I mean? Like on YouTube and shit, and I didn't see Madoka. Like I'm really curious if I ever would have ended up watching it if it wasn't for like another person's recommendation.

SPEAKER_03 1:50:58

Yeah, exactly. Like the number of people that talk about Madoka means that like there's something there.

SPEAKER_04 1:51:03

Oh yeah, there definitely is.

SPEAKER_01 1:51:05

And and like I said, for me, Madoka emotional damage. Madoka is a definite nine for me. It's a definite recommendation, but I guess because I give it such high praise, it's because I watch such formulaic stuff that I've watched quite a bit of Magical Girl that it when this like became a break from all that, from what makes it the genre, you know, what makes the isekai.

SPEAKER_04 1:51:27

No, like um this is a real break in what I watch.

SPEAKER_01 1:51:31

So it's like when I watch a lot of magical girl stuff, and then like you know, I watch Madoka, and it's like it's completely different. Um, but if you go in as Madoka being like your 15th anime, you're kind of already knowing what you're getting into with anime. We've recommended quite a few stuff at this point, but what I'm saying is Madoka is definitely one you want to watch. I would because of that, I have now put that in my top five. Like I have like my top five now includes Madoka. And that's just it, I it was just really good. If the supplementary material like this movie kind of brings it down, I'll let you guys know next week. But oh, the movie's fantastic.

SPEAKER_04 1:52:02

Like, but if the movie elevates it, like I'll let you know. So Rebellion, uh, so here's the thing, right? You're gonna see one of them's a recap movie, right? There's two actually. So you're gonna see three movies. Uh the recap movies uh don't bother with them, actually watch the show. But uh Rebellion is good and it it is a continuation of events. Yep. Um won't spoil them, but it's great. Uh Moggy record, uh, it's probably the last thing I'll say on the pod about it, but it's like it's a side story uh with a a lot of fucking characters and you know a lot of names to remember and all that. So many. But like there are issues with it, and there are a lot of questions being raised. So if because I've only finished season one, right? Uh if a lot of those questions are not really answered in season two and three, I'm gonna like it a lot less. But like I kind of jibe.

SPEAKER_01 1:52:47

Well, I really enjoyed Madoka. I'm glad you guys, that's one of the ones you guys like what top three that you guys are Madoka, Full Metal, what's the other one? It's not both three, but uh no, like some of the top three that you guys were like, Jose, what's wrong with you?

SPEAKER_04 1:52:59

Yeah, uh there's a few of those. Yeah, full metal's another one. What's another one? Yeah, that one. You know, um, I can't think of one. Yeah, I can just I can think of like full metal attack on Titan. Uh Sir, sir, please calm Sir.

SPEAKER_03 1:53:13

Great anime until we get to the basement.

SPEAKER_01 1:53:15

Sir, calm down. So, okay. Well, I'm glad I checked out Madoka. I've always enjoyed the magical girl stuff, like uh The Demon Girl Next Door, that's a magical girl one. Um, obviously, I really like the Sailor Moon manga. I didn't talk about the Sailor Moon manga, but I've been reading it. I love it, it's great. I wouldn't put it up there with Madoka because it's like the progenitor of like what the current Magical Girl stuff is, but it's great.

SPEAKER_04 1:53:36

Quick side note, real quick. Have you run into uh Dead Moon Circus yet? Okay, uh I'll leave it there. I just I think it's a really cool name for an organization.

unknown 1:53:45

That's all.

SPEAKER_01 1:53:45

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 1:53:46

All right, that that's it. All right.

SPEAKER_01 1:53:47

Well, I guess we'll kind of end it off there. Um thanks for tuning in again. Magical Girl's definitely a newer genre. It's a genre that's continuing to evolve, I guess. But if we have anything else to say, maybe we'll bring it in passing at some point. But as of right now, this is all we kind of have to say.

SPEAKER_04 1:54:01

Yeah, I'll I'll bring up Maggia record as time goes on, just because I'm gonna keep watching that.

SPEAKER_01 1:54:05

Do you have anything else to say, Sher?

SPEAKER_03 1:54:06

You don't have a big I mean there's a lot we could talk about, but we don't have time. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 1:54:12

Uh we could make it a two-parter.

SPEAKER_04 1:54:14

Uh uh, I mean, we we might touch on some stuff briefly in the next episode, just like kind of like clean up what we can do.

SPEAKER_03 1:54:20

We can talk at a different time about it, but I don't think it needs two parts. Okay. Just fucking go, brother.

SPEAKER_04 1:54:25

That's Shin Magumi Tensei. Was that the Minotaur's theme? Yes. I'd know that anywhere, dog. Well, um You terrify me. What do you mean? All the time. Go terror shame corner.

SPEAKER_01 1:54:35

Well, what's the first one? Okay, so next week, um, I want just to clean up, I do want to hear you guys' recommendations because I do need some more stuff to watch, and I don't want to keep watching this stuff at work.

SPEAKER_03 1:54:45

You don't want to keep watching this stuff?

SPEAKER_01 1:54:46

I don't want to keep watching trash, I guess. Yeah, stop. So you could just stop that normally. Well, loads up another isekai. I need you guys to recommend me something.

SPEAKER_03 1:54:54

So what's what's next on the isekai platter? Oh, seventh demonstra reincarnated.

SPEAKER_04 1:54:59

He has to finish that.

SPEAKER_03 1:55:00

Oh, of course. All right, well, just get really into harem.

SPEAKER_04 1:55:03

Yeah, yeah. I mean, I'm sure Sherman and I could just list harems to watch. Well, I don't know if I'd recommend them, but this is why I'm hoping my Saturdays come soon. I remember being okay. It's pretty good. Um, there's that. Surprising, honestly. All right.

SPEAKER_01 1:55:14

Well, you guys take care. Listeners take care. Everyone take care. Goodbye. That's a Drake reference. Goodbye.
