Hello and welcome to a new episode of Anime Brain Freeze. We are your adventuring hosts.
I am Jan and I am C.C. And when there's just too much cool anime to watch, we've got you covered.
Today we will return to the king of Shonen franchises, albeit in a slightly altered form,
and review the adventures of Goku and Company on their trip to the Demon Realm in Dragon Ball Dima.
And of course, since it's our season premiere, we brought a couple of new shows with us
that we will briefly talk about in this sneak peek.
So grab your medical creepy crawlies to cure any of your ailments, prepare to fight with your fists
and mind alike to claim that precious wishful filling price, and definitely don't pass the pot.
We'll be right back!
[Music]
Alright, sneak peek time. Yes, we got a couple of shows to talk about.
John, I think you have at least one or two shows more than me that you checked out,
so why don't you hit us up with the Mabies? For first time listeners, of course, as usual.
We tend to have our three sections, the nopes, the Mabies and the Keepers.
Not that many nopes in recent times, because we have been more, let's say, capable of filtering shows.
We probably don't want to watch the advance.
True nopes at the beginning of the season are for a few between.
So yeah, maybe nopes shows we are not going to keep on watching because they suck.
Evidently, maybe they either are bad or just not interesting.
Yes, not interesting, not for us, whatever. There might be multiple reasons why shows become those.
But the next section would be the Mabies shows that at least have some interesting things in them,
so we might keep on watching, but we're not sure yet.
And last but not least, the Keepers shows that unless they violently fly off the rails,
which believe me, keepers have done in the past, we will stick with them until they are finished.
So John, I believe we both don't have any nopes this season.
So why don't you start us off with the Mabies?
I mean, I guess it's technically a no, but I'm just, it's more like it's on the back burner
so I can get to everything that's come before it is Uma Musume Cinderella Gray,
because I really enjoyed the first season and there's just a lot of the show.
And you know, it's not on the newest isn't on the plate right now.
So, okay.
I guess for anyone curious about that, you know, that's technically not.
But that is not on the list of stuff I was counting, but say, you know,
something tangentially interested.
But John, I think is rock is a lady's modesty.
Yeah, you showed me the Opie of that and that is definitely rocking.
Yes. So it's all about this girl named Lisa Susu no Mia.
Now, he was the daughter, the adopted daughter of this real estate tycoon after her mother is remarried.
And she's forced to abandon her guitar and her rock music ambitions to fit in at this.
Elite All Girls Academy.
No, boy, but her passion is reignited when she meets this skilled drummer and see.
This drummer goes her into playing, getting back into the guitar and she's just in very unlady like fashion,
throws a release of the middle finger says, man, you're guitar playing sucks. It's terrible.
You could do better than that in the leases like excuse you.
Let me, how are you really feel?
So, but then in like the second episode, this girl's like, oh, well, I let my emotions get the better.
Me trying to act all cool and composed out in public and it's like, yeah, I'm sure.
Right. So now it's just this sort of, you know, story about one you need to do the thing you're actually really passionate about.
But, you know, obviously you have to put on this front. So she can't do it, you know, in clean sight.
There's one episode where one of the character, one of the side, whoever or faceless characters is like, oh, Susu no Mia son.
What kind of music do you, where did you learn how to speak English so well?
And she's like, oh, well, from listening to the lyrics of songs like the red hot chili peppers and everyone is like, what?
She's like, oh, from listening to musicals like Phantom of the Opera.
So it's one of those sorts of shows, but the music seems pretty good and that might be enough to stick with it.
I think a lot of it was done by this band called band made.
I personally first heard them when they did a song for you, you know, rains and they've got a pretty good sound.
So I'm going to at least, you know, stick around to listen to what they have to play.
And there's a little bit of CG on the animations when they're playing the instruments that's kind of a little.
I feel like since this is home by band I Namco, they should be a little bit more money to make it look a little better.
But you know, it is what is I guess maybe the characters and the story will compensate for that.
Yeah, so that's of course there's always it's always a good idea to put more music in your life.
Yes, so I like to see where it goes and if it has the staying power to keep me in there.
I think it got another one for us about a apocalypse hotel.
So after the complete in total collapse of civilization due to a pandemic.
I wonder when this show started production.
It boggles the mind.
So this centers around the hotel, Gingaro in Tokyo's Gingza district.
It's maintained like almost entirely by a robotic staff and they keep everything running and going like absolutely pitch perfect.
And nothing is ever out of place.
And then like I said, the pandemic hits and the entire planet needs to be basically evacuated to space.
So this robotic crew has been maintaining this hotel day by day in hopes that humanity will return to earth.
But it's okay because tomorrow is going to be the day.
That's like a wally situation.
A little bit.
So you got like this receptionist girl.
I don't remember the names of the characters and appreciate it because it didn't really seem like they had characters just like more like they were.
There was like one of the main characters is this receptionist girl.
She's trying to keep all the other robot crew in line.
There's the door man robot who is constantly overheating because he keeps opening the door all day long and he doesn't have the proper coolant to maintain his.
His function.
And then there's the little shop.
There's other little helper robots like there's a porter robot.
There's cleaner robot. There's a one that takes care of like house flies and whatnot.
So it's cute.
I wonder how much staying power of the story actually has for 12 episodes though.
But you know, it's at least really pretty.
It's hit up by you know, this is one of side games is own productions.
So it looks nice for sure.
So you know, it looks nice. It's kind of cute.
I like the characters, but I again, I don't know if this could stand on its own for another 11 episodes, but I will at least give a little bit of a shot.
Sounds like a relaxing time.
Yeah, it's at least pretty chill considering the setting that is.
And a team it I guess.
The big dilemma, the two big dilemmas in the first episode or that there's a driller bot that's supposed to go make in open air hot spring and it somehow gets wrecked and is has to be put out of service, which is sad.
But the others that when they are going around doing the daily checkup of all the rooms, there's a shower kept missing from one of the showers.
Oh no, where did it go? How do we get another one? We're out of stock in a church that the door man robot took it because the receptionist, Darryl has to constantly throw water on him to keep him cooled down.
So there you go.
Oops, yeah, that's neat. That's neat. And so it's like you know a cool constellation of characters and so on. Maybe maybe, but also a bit of melancholy mixed in the stuff with the driller robot and everything.
Oh, oh yeah, for sure. They're trying to go for that.
So yeah, that's that.
All right.
God, you got first.
My first maybe before I watched it was a definitive nope for me.
Like, or I expected that to be if it was a definitive one, I wouldn't have watched it, but I was like, okay, let's see what this is.
And it's guilty. Gives drive dual rulers.
Yeah, it was because you know, the track record of fighting games being adapted to anime is not great.
And the previous one from Arxes, namely,
Oh, God, fucking place, little alter memory was absolute hyper trash.
And so I was like, oh God, and the story of guilty gear, so fucking convoluted and expensive, just like the fucking placeboo story is,
go watch. Will he summary on the guilty gear story?
I did that and that's where I was like, that's why at least I have a some somewhat of a grasp grasp now of the base storyline of this because from the games I played, I did not get it.
So and I mean, I didn't play the story mode of exert of the exert games, which also apparently feel to know a lot of stuff and so whatever.
Yes, so this was fine. I feel like we get the basics on the most of the important characters like, hey, this is this, who this is and this is how they relate to each other and so on.
So they set that up not that badly, you get to know who Kai is, get to know who Dizzy is, you kind of get to know who soul is, but not really.
He feels like more of a side character in this is like, yeah, he's since adopted father, whatever and since Kai's real biological son, but can tell because you know gears are frowned upon because they're biological weapons and Kai is still in the process of, you know, changing the views of the people.
So, you know, if having him having a son and whatever could be problem, he's not even married to Dizzy yet. That's the first episode they're preparing their marriage.
And it's like, okay, but also soul is probably the most important character in the show when it comes to the history of this fucking franchise.
And a lot of soul story has been told in the game. So already that's the thing I was hoping for this show to just be an adaption of the entire franchise story, right?
I was like, okay, this has strife in the name, I get it, but I would have loved to get a real guilty gear anime like we had this amazing opening on guilty gear plus one version of it anywhere where guilty gear X plus I think it was.
That look really cool.
And I was like, oh man, would be nice to get an anime with that kind of quality and for guilty gear. And I was wanted that because I feel like man, the soundtrack and everything, and this is cool.
And I would want to get a real cool anime of this and it seems like if you streamline the story to a couple of characters like have the have it be related to, I guess, soul judgment, maybe jacko, then of course, because you know, the her relation to soul and so on.
And maybe go through all the story from guilty gear proper guilty gear X X to and exert at least and then you know up as a lead up to the strife story or whatever.
Then you could do that like if you, you know, leave out or just tend to tend gently go over some of the other characters like Johnny because they're also somewhat related to them and so.
So that would be you could do that, but it seems like the show is just not doing that like I don't even know where it's probably said I think it's maybe set before strife story like between X and and strive not quite sure.
Sounds like from what you're described.
Yes, because I think kind of you already married in.
Strive proper i'm not quite sure or a sin is already part of that again also but also the character the main antagonist quote unquote in this in this anime seems to be a character is not in the game unique I don't know if she's in the game yet.
She's supposed to be with the current season so she's upcoming also that's probably just her introduction so this is this is her story this is how they introduce her to the game and also you know through.
Okay, that makes sense so she is attacking dizzy at.
At the ceremony for the for the for the marriage at the wedding and is trying to make a go berserk which kind of works and dizzy and Kai are.
Sealed away they're like in this crystal.
And then sin and soul go on one of their road trips to find unique car and.
Why she did that I mean she says she wants to get rid of all the gears she wants to annihilate all of them and that's the start of this but of course we don't know what this why this is also she seems to be a gear herself because she is fucking wings.
At one moment and maybe she's also related to DZ or whatever I don't know and I can seems to also be trying to get her because you know she's a bounty hunter whatever.
And that seems to be one of the pleasure that a clash of stats coming up and we see a bunch of other characters like Leo and like Johnny in the first episode.
I feel like like I said this thing is trying to expect you to know the rest of the of the guilty gear story so this is definitely probably not newbie friendly even though they give you some you know introduction to all of the characters.
But maybe it's for me like I know the basics of the story like I said and even though I would have liked to straight forward adaption from beginning to end maybe this could be fun like even only as a reason to maybe get back into strife again which I haven't touched for quite a while now.
And maybe if the unique background story is cool enough I'll be like okay the animation is not bad like it's a bit wonky in parts and I feel like it it relies too much on still frames like how dizzy and Kai got to know each other is told through these murals or whatever or staying glass window style instead of actually having much animation in it and then some of the fight scenes also have a lot of still frames.
And I said okay this looks a bit like maybe not that much budget put into it but also some parts of the fights look really good and of course you got the rocking soundtrack as expected the op is pretty damn cool.
So it's not as bad as I expected it to be you know coming from the last thing from that from that studio technically we saw which was place blue.
So sure I'll give it another one or two episodes and see what's up.
I'm not the big really work on nothing in between. I don't know if there was another access to I mean there was not another real axis like fighting game between that right I mean there was the thing who could boss or a game but that came from them but that got it all its own shown it's an amazing show by production IG before that came even out and that was another franchise because before
it touched it but don't think they did another fighting game in between persona maybe but also again different game franchise before that so I think so we had anything inside of that.
I never mind they have done some of this I was just like wait a minute hold on I mean the animation studio probably did something else I don't know which studio is responsible for this but but in terms of fighting game franchises that
the arcs is responsible for I don't think we got anything else and we definitely didn't get anything for guilty gear until now at least I don't think so.
So yes this is staunchly probably for fans of or solely for solely for fans of of the guilty game franchise I don't think this will be for you if you if you have no familiarity with that fight to get franchise whatsoever but if you do maybe this could be fun.
I don't expect it to run for longer than one season it's probably just gonna be like an introduction to unique as a character as a companion piece to her being introduced via the next set of DLC or whatever and if they do that for some other of the DLC characters that could be neat but also again I would have love to have a full adaption of the game story and maybe we'll get that.
Whenever the game is serious is finished I don't know but yeah I guess I have to deep dive into the story through some other means then I think they only just released Venom and I think Unica is an ex character and then after that Lucy from Cyberpunk.
Yeah she's supposed to come right yeah and then that'll be all of season four so you know which is she is such a weird choice for guilty gear from that particular anime I feel like what was the name the little blonde girl and I feel like Rebecca right Rebecca just in terms of how she looks and what her powers are I feel like would have fit much better into the gears universe in terms of you know the just in terms of how she fights and how she looks.
I mean maybe there's some space to put her in as part of you know Lucy's animations yeah I guess but Lucy I feel like Lucy is not out there enough she's not crazy enough in terms of design and everything so that's what I mean I guess but we also got to be in Grand Blue so you know.
Yeah I would see yes so let's see where this goes and we get more I was surprised to see that we already got that man or whatever in strife and I don't know like I said I haven't played like I don't know if there's an addition to the story mode at this point if we actually if they actually happens anything because I feel like that was always like the end.
The end goal of this of this show like the final confrontation of of that gaming franchise would be between soul and I forgot what that man's real name is.
Yeah as could be ask the guy with the book whatever but I think he was at least partially or solely responsibly before the initial incident whatever that led to all these shenanigans.
Among with soul together I guess so I we probably won't get any of that in this anime but maybe it will be a fun side story I'll see could be cool but again it's it's maybe bordering on a note because I just don't I just don't know.
Fight a game franchise adaptions in any media it's just like yeah this could go bad at any moment first episode wasn't wasn't horrible though.
Remember how great the street fighter alpha movie was.
I was probably also right but also not what people wanted from from street fighter alpha movie.
No it was it was pretty it was pretty bad if not good.
Yeah I haven't seen it in ages I didn't hate it when I watched it I think but it also was just like a weird story that felt like something completely in tone and everything else not belonging to street fighter universe.
Reuse weird brother who is also not really as broad as just a genetic creation or whatever and.
From this weird doctor and what is this is not fucking street fighter what are you talking about why is this so serious.
And they had a character that was like.
We have a kuma at home that was it was that right and we got a kuma in street fighter alpha two anime but that anime was pretty ugly but.
Hey I think that existed but still speaking of street fighter still kind of like the achievement to hit when it comes to fighting games to anime adaptions street fighter to the animated movie like it doesn't really get better than that true in terms of quality in terms of actually trying to create.
A good a bridge version of that story of that game right and I can that movie is infinitely reward you are re watchable it's really fun and so.
It can be done let's see I don't think this will be that especially since the TV show not a movie but.
Yeah it could still be enjoyable let's see like I said I give it a little more to episodes I did not expect to talk that about fucking guilty gear strived to all rulers dear god john please give give give us your next maybe.
This is one that we both sort of discovered out of nowhere and I guess it's more of a maybe I kind of found it and I showed it to you and you know.
That's princession orchestra I knew I forgot to watch something goddamn it is it out like did someone actually pick it up so disclosure that this is not on any streaming service and I'm not sure it ever will be you'll have to search it out and find it.
There's another show this season that kind of demands that investment and I'll get to it but yes I'm glad that somebody from from the open seas picked it up that's a letter here so john as a we both expected is to be somewhat of a kind of a spiritual successor to simple gear is it that.
It's hard to tell from just the first episode but I mean it's got the same awesome music because noria suage Matsus and they're producing it along with I believe with it the crew that you were sure that element scarred so it's got the music it's got that is it handled by by satellite.
Oh this is here by silver link okay which silver link is capable of doing good work it's just it just seems like whether or not it's capable of paying the bills that month.
I mean this first episode seemed a little.
I mean not terrible but you know maybe the big bang stuff will be coming later on but judging off the first episode alone i'm not sure I would say this is like simple gear I think it's a bit more pre cure coded that's what it looked like from the designs yeah which you know that's fine that's i'm not saying that's a bad thing at all but you know I think it's also playing to a different audience as well.
I mean it's got cute girls got good music it we have the promise of some sort of action in there from the first episode we see you know the monster set up here look like little musical notes and whatnot so they're keeping with the theme of that and one of the girls transforms into this mysterious princess oh who could she be which of the other clearly main characters is she.
It's like that you know so and we have the you know this villainous character in the background like I couldn't get rid of her this time sort of things obviously not in shadows but you know this is one of the villains.
So it's one of those but I even if we are not the target demo I want to at least watch it and see what kind of code and I get my two cooked up with this it's supposed to run for like a full year so it's got plenty it yeah yeah it's got plenty of time to run so it's not really it seems like it's going to be dare attempt to challenge pretty cure maybe like as one of the most successful franchises when it comes to.
I guess magical girl shows at this point so I mean that would be cool to see some because I mean alongside pre cure I think there's maybe maybe I got to and I don't know how prevalent that is nowadays because I mean I was thinking about this the other day I think pre cure is a lot more prevalent to be because there's always something there's a show every year but I don't know if it has the presence.
That something like you know the biggest one of all sailor moon has you know even though sailor moon has run and it's told its story like I guess technically twice now it's not ever present the way pre cure is.
So hey so hey maybe something else come along to give it a little bit of its run for money maybe pre session orchestra be pretty cool.
I've only watched I think maybe one pre cure series from beginning and to end and you know it is what it is but it's fun it's for kids seems like I'm very big missed opportunity to put this on any streaming service like getting getting the kids in early right like here yes.
I mean it took God I don't know I'm just throwing a number out there 15 something years for to a to be like yeah we'll finally license out pre cure it took so long yeah I think the first one was oh God it was localized as glitter force over smile pre smile pre cure that was it and that was in 2012 well at least in America I think it got it got pretty early on to you I remember watching it.
I remember watching it on German TV or at least some episodes of it the first the first first pretty good pure cure sure and I think that came out pretty much very quickly after was released in Japan that then it just sort of like disappeared in the West real fast afterward yeah yeah for whatever reason I don't know but here we are now it's a bit more accessible and maybe maybe someone will pick this up so it'll be streaming somewhere in official capacity but you know.
time time will tell yeah so that's that another one oh you want me yes you want another one for me yes you have you have more than me double as much me double as many maybe so you should go twice that's true that's true how about mono it's all about this girl who this girl.
this girl. No no no okay. God no it's not that sad or depressing it's about this girl who is in high school and she doesn't really have a place that she feels like she belongs until she she meets this girl who is just she think she's super cute and she's part of this photography club.
and she decides to join and all she does is take photos of her senpai that's all she does but then when her senpai graduates and she's really kind of down in the dumps this one of satsuki's best friends on who is working.
working her hardest to get into the same school so she could be alongside her she totally doesn't have a huge crush on her shut up don't worry about it.
just decides to join the photography club alongside her and you know they decide you know hey well guess we'll keep carrying the flag forward and we'll take photos and do stuff and whatnot and it's very just a sort of chilled out time and
that is because this is a creation of the same person who made laid back camp.
It's got a lot of that same energy.
they meet this woman who's trying to get this new manga hers off the ground but her producer is like well it needs to be about high school girls and they cross paths and
she wants to use satsuki and on as her as her references as they go out and they like do in the first episode like this time lab stuff taking like photos of the city during the day and at night and it's really pretty and it's cute and they and there's this cat involved that they one of the girls tries to put reaction cam on and the camera gets all scratched up because the cat disappears for a week.
the part of the footage is this cat getting into a fight with another cat and it's like oh oh no not not the action cam you spent so much money on that sexy kind of sad.
Yes.
It's just very cute and chilled out and like I said you can tell that it like from the character designs from the environment is like yeah.
Yeah this is this is sort of along the same lines so.
It's nice it's just relaxing sometimes you need that I was about to say it is probably going to be your relax show this season.
I love your camp so you could just keep coming at me with the same sort of stuff and I don't I'll eat it up.
As long as you're having a good time.
What you got for us.
My next maybe is your former not your former John but I don't I don't even know what this relates to actually it's that's what the show is called your former which is set in London.
Not too distant future and androids fully integrated into human society they're called amicus and there are also these.
People called cyber investing cyber inspectors and that's our main character etchica and she has an assistant and Android amicus assistant called herald and together they stay brain dive into the brains of murder victims or potential murderers or whatever to solve crimes.
I think I can just dive into the memories the subconscious the dreams of of the people she brain dives into and I guess I don't even know what herald does maybe help with the mem with the conversation of memory space or whatever or navigates her a bit is that clear from the first episode but apparently she needs them because human cyber inspectors can can can keep up with her skill because she's too good.
And she needs an Android like herald to help her out with that problem is in the first episode herald is suspected of committing a crime against a human being which robots you know as usual also in this in this series are not supposed to be able to do not supposed to be able to harm humans but someone did and not any other amicus
and that's why herald is under suspect at the beginning of the episode of the first episode but someone from his product line which only there are only three he's from the royal family model the RF model three brothers him Stephen and Marvin and Stephen ostensibly in the past shot at etchica and since then has been forcibly shut down and is under analysis because this is supposed to be happened.
And Marvin is on the run has been has disappeared so suspect it could either be herald to you know did did the assault on that other human or it could be Marvin they're not sure yet so they have to investigate herald is pretty much very quickly.
Let's say has a has a waterproof alibi because he's in custody and then another attack happens so he actually is allowed to take part in investigation and that's where they go from here they.
A brain dive into the news victim and then discover yet it looks like RF model but doesn't look like it's Marvin so who is that and how did this even happen and we go from here so it's a cyber sleuth procedural.
And I've been known to like myself some protective procedures in any form so it's like hey this could be neat the throw the show throws a bit much at you in the first episode because it's very immediate as like the crime happens you see it happen technically and then you know we we get quickly introduced to a bunch of characters also or man characters and how the world is set up but there's also a lot of hints at things already having happened.
In the past very important things like there's this talk about the san peter sense Peter Spurk nightmare thing that happened and that apparently some of our characters were involved in that led to a falling out between some of the characters will meet in the first episode and so on so it's a your throne basically into.
The progress of already established characters like it feels like you're watching the second season of something and I'm like okay I assume they doing this to make the mystery even stronger because now they can go from like okay here you're being characters but you know there you already are aware that there's a lot about them you don't know so while we're investigating this this assault this attempted murder we're also gonna slowly trickle in the details.
The details of the past of these characters which is the other mystery so I like that I think that's pretty cool as a good setup that's like okay we're just gonna you know go slowly from maybe not that slowly because the first episode was pretty quick but we're just gonna go into we're gonna we're gonna fill you in on both of these things over the time and yeah looks pretty promising it with all like like with all
procedural mystery things this heavily me on sticking with this depends heavily on if the mystery is actually interesting like if if the murder investigation is interesting if they're enough twists and turns cool red herrings and so on and a deeper conspiracy maybe you know something like that which this could be it definitely smells like it so yeah we'll see it's interesting I'm not sure if it's a keeper yet but it could be could be cool I like me some of the
cyberpunk stuff I like the idea of how the brain dive works even though they don't do that much brain diving in the first episode but the visuals are very interesting when it actually does it and she
and Harold are pretty cool team like she doesn't seem to be fond of amicus in general but she is kind of fond of Harold they like take friendly
japs actually at each other so that were pretty fun so yeah I like that I like their dynamic I liked the setup of the show and the universe and so on and yeah this could be cool not quite sure yet not sure if it will hold my interest but I will I'm willing to give it a couple more
episodes to find out. What is what are your next maybe next maybe is samurai legend Yiba another
show I forgot to watch fuck I should have made a proper list I wanted to watch Yiba I haven't done that yet so John I need to catch up on that I need to to to to watch that I knew I forgot to write that down at an orchestra as well but yes I'm very
interested to hear about Yiba because I intend to to watch it what what can you what can you tell us about it so Yiba Kurogane is this little boy who's spent his days
training in the jungle along with his dad and because comedy shenanigans they end up in modern day Japan in living with the Mine family and Yiba just
Yiba is a little Goku he just wants to fight with everyone but like always that guy strong he takes out his bokeh and just wants to fight everyone when he meets his match in
this guy at this he well one of the characters he meets is this girl sciaka sciaka school is this guy named only maru and he kind of meets his match in him only maru just he yet he's very calm he's very cool he's very
collected it's like kid you can't beat me until the day Yiba does and he goes he goes so crazy but underneath the house where only maru lives is the
Hujinkan the wind god sword and he unseats it he only maru to begins to live up to his name horns and all so
now there's now there's a little bit of supernatural stuff going on and Yiba has to Yiba has to maybe defeat him I don't know the plot me on it because this is
so this is based off of manga that ran from 1988 to 1993 written by gochial aayama maybe you might know him a little better for the work that
he's worked at the immediately after called this little story called detective Conan yeah
rings about just a bit so this story originally got an adaptation back in 1993 so we're getting a little bit of a
duo over on this and witt studio is at the helm and oh my god it looks so good dude I expected as much like they
went full throttle on this looks so pretty from top to bottom and I just Yiba is one of these shows that I always had like a
passing interest in I think I maybe may have watched an episode of the original and never really got much
further but now that there's this newer prettier shinier more accessible version out there I want to at least
keep going and see what it's got to offer I mean I feel like a little bit of a humor is kind of dated but you
know maybe if they can kind of keep that to a minimum we'll see how it goes because Yiba's dad
kinshuro is kind of a weirdo horn dog and it's like all right dude come on I feel like you can
feel out of it like ronma would run into the same problem problem is yiba kind of picks up on that a
little bit and it's like it kind of quickly becomes apparent it'll become slightly apparent to
them that's like hey maybe maybe don't but I hope and I hope that that's something that's
something that are able to be like you know this is what you should not do we'll see kid but you know
that's as long as it doesn't turn into a seven deadly sin situation or something like that
but yeah I'm willing again willing to keep going because it looks pretty the fights are like
insane like they do some crazy stuff for the like jumping from vehicle to vehicle and like the streets
and when yiba beat only martyre who's like yeah I did it I days jumping up and down which
leads to him jumping into one of those signs that you'd see on like a highway overpass and smashing
his face into it so it's like okay yeah you did it but at what cost you little you little turd
sounds good though and I assume since that old the story is completely finished right
not like detective Conan well detective Conan will never be finished but
yiba has had its run I guess at the manga ran for fiveish years and it's it has come in gone so
I can't imagine they wouldn't tell the story from beginning to end the original I'm curious
because the original was 52 episodes I don't know if they'll like condense this down or if it'll
be the same episode camping and I guess we'll see what did the original cover the manga in its
entirety I don't know but I would assume I'm willing to be corrected on that I will see this
this well because the anime started and ended after the manga ended so okay yeah then probably
I will see then this is probably gonna be like two course show maybe or
excuse me looks like it started while the manga was in its final year but it would have had
enough time to finish I think yeah yeah we'll see how that goes I'm again willing to see it because
which studio I think is cooking really hard with this one yeah I'm really looking forward to checking
it out I don't know why I forgot about it probably just a lot going on and it was like oh right
it was that show yeah definitely but I am definitely gonna remedy that and I get to it as soon as
I can because yes with studio also it just it sounded like a lot of throwback fun
hmm my last maybe I think kind of starts bleeding into our keepers and that's Lazarus
yes that would be my my keep my first keeper I guess then I'll go with my last maybe first
because technically but also technically that also bleeds into my keepers probably so yeah just
if you know you go with Lazarus and then I'll go with my last maybe because I that might as well
be half a keeper too so Lazarus takes place in the far flown year of 2052 Jesus Christ were almost there
and there's this doctor doctor Skinner who has to create it this like supposed miracle drug
called hopna and he's distributed it all around the world and it cures all sorts of diseases and it's
really good and it's great for humanity until it's announced that hopna has a short half life
and that anyone who is taking it will die in about three years time yes Skinner announces that
himself over social media is like by the way I did not I did yeah you're all gonna die I didn't create
this only as a pain killer but after three years it's like this is gonna turn into a deadly toxin
and everyone was taking it dies and I have determined that humanity sucks and kind of deserves it
but if you disagree please find me in the next 30 days and you will be able to save humanity good
luck low limau even and pieces out and yeah that's that's the setup and then we have our special
ops team from the United States called Lazarus and I guess they're gonna go after Skinner gonna try
to find him yeah the first episode kind of centers around one of the ladies trying to recruit this
oh guy Axel Gilberto he's been in jail and he's no he's definitely a spike speagle type oh absolutely
so many we should mention this right that this is a shini chiro what out of a show so yes from the
Kawabee will I think the last show of his we really would was Carol and Tuesday I think yes and yes
so I'll bow to because it's like well I don't really care about this so instead of getting recruited
here I'm just gonna use this opportunity to do a jailbreak and run away and that sequence
that's a ton of parkour yes oh it looks so good it looks so good and of course we got a great jessy
soundtrack while playing while he's doing that so it's like yep this is this to be what out of
a shit I'm expecting from this yeah so that was great and that is pretty much the entire first episode
that jabric and then Lazarus going after him and trying to get him and eventually succeeding
through a very smooth job done by Chris the blonde lady who writes a big chopper but also is
very good at coming off of like a very unthreatening presence and she's like hey I want to take
yourself and zap that was really good so yeah this would see where this goes this looks like a good action
maybe mystery show thing with a couple of cool characters that I can't wait to learn more about
I mean I watched the first episode with the dub but now I'm looking at the Japanese castles I mean
Koichi Yamadera Megumi Hayashi Barra are in there so yes yes they got some of the old crew back together
which it makes it super weird because adults with whatever reason decided to be like hey
not gonna air the Japanese dub only like it only will be available one month after we air the
English version of that particular episode and this is gonna continue through the entire rest of
the season so we want to get if you want to you know where to look you can find yes exactly so this
is the other show aside from orchestra it's like yeah you might have to do some digging here or not if
you're already familiar with the means of requirement here but super weird decision it also does not air
over here at all like it's not streaming over here in Germany at all like it's not on Disney plus
which is weird because in America it's on Hulu it's not on Netflix it's nowhere to be found like great
thank you so ships had to be boarded and they were
but yeah great show so far anyway looks good I mean you know what TanaBashos are in general just because
of the production values are fun to witness um terms of where the story goes we'll see because
that can go either way in certain parts I mean Carole Tuesday was really fun for a while but I feel
like it didn't quite stick the landing um so let's see with the where this goes but the setup
the character constellation everything looks cool and if we learn more about that would be fun the
mystery is interesting I mean I can guess why Skinner did what he did uh and what the message of this
is gonna be it's pretty very on its face in the first episode kind of what we'll see we'll see maybe
there are some curveballs but yes so the biggest reason for this is that the production values are
just out of this fucking world and uh this is probably then considering from what you said about
Yiba this will be the other big looker show of this season so if you if you want to get some I candy
um I guess there's one other show that technically uh maybe two that go into the I candy territory
but definitely one other one but uh yeah this is definitely one of those hmm
the show is headed up by Mapa we know when they're not running their animators into the floor they
do great work that's all they do didn't do it on this one so um I hopefully we don't find out
after the first yes I'm just gonna just enjoy this and not hear any bad stories about this after
was like we did four juices of chisens season two uh but yeah I'll I'll stick with this definitely
this is definitely one of my keepers uh higher up keepers and uh yeah good I mean I'm curious to see
where it goes I don't know if I'm sold on it yet so yeah it heavily depends on how it develops I guess
in the coming episodes I'm just like uh yes the tanda bit show it looks great it sounds great so
even if it's not turning out to be the thing uh I'm probably gonna stick with it just for the
production values alone so yeah uh all right then I'm gonna talk about my last maybe bordering on a keeper
and that is anchourly um which is the new adaption of the classic novel uh and uh of the green
gables the Canadian novel and it's all about the orphan girl anchourly which is uh who is taken in
by the cutbird family and gets to live on their green gables estate on an island full of flowers and trees
and and it's this very energetic girl uh with red hair uh and are those pigtails I don't know they're
not pigtails what are those called if they're like braided um don't know what what exactly but that's
what she has um and she has very I know I was just called in twin braids twin braids then yes very vivid
imagination uh that she's retreating to whenever she's bored I guess kinder or also just in general she is
just she is very very very uh interested in everything and she talks a lot and she's very curious
and with big ideas that and uses big words and uh she gives everything places and things new names
like there's a normal pond in the first episode so she renames to the lake of the shining waters
and this avenue that she renames to the way of the white delights that's a thing she gives trees
names and stuff like that she's just a very very very energetic girl with like I said a vivid
imagination and she is just completely throwing the life of this this old couple the cutbirds into
turmoil though in the first episode it's not quite clear if this will happen yet even though it's
like a kind of foregone conclusion but you know when um mr methew cutbird picks her up at the train
station uh it quickly turns out uh uh that they actually expected to get a boy not a girl they
expect to get a boy who is supposed to help them out at the house and you know the farm I guess
because they getting up there in age and they can't do it all on their own anymore so they need
some capable hands and uh now they got a girl instead and you know methew immediately is like oh
man but this is this girl is so cute and there's something about her she has this spirit and I like
her but you know his wife marilla is pretty she's like this pretty strict matter of factly woman
and she's like well what use is she to us though and methew is like none really but we might be of
use to her and that line got me like when she said he says that to her but you know maybe we could be
dare for her and immediately like tears swelling up in my eyes and it's so it's like it's very good
it's a very good scene and um yeah you know marilla is very intent on bringing her back to the orphanage
and like and being the original chuny that she is is like very theatrical about the whole thing
which is understandable and you totally feel for her and she's but you know she she you feel like she
has she her moods can swing a lot like in the evening she's super depressed and so on and in the
morning she gets up oh there's sunshine everywhere everything is good again and regardless then marilla
tries to bring her to back to the orphanage but then pretty quickly realizes that she the woman
and would then actually end up with as a total dragon uh and would be absolutely horrible
and then immediately she turns around and it's like well maybe I'll talk to my husband
double I'm sad I'm gonna give her back yet so we're just gonna go back to to our house and I'll
talk to it about my husband of course they're gonna keep her um so this is gonna be her adventures
at that estate I guess making new friends a slice of lifey stuff I I'm not familiar with the original
story but I've always been a fan of anime adoption of classic western western literature there were
a lot of those running on german tv and when I was growing up and I watched a lot of those like
there's so much so much of the stuff I if I which will probably have an if I review the show I will
list some of them and then I then I watch because like I said really a lot and yeah the old and of
the green gables direction was however always a famous blind spot in my anime adoption library that
either never aired over here or that I always missed somehow but uh yeah this is my chance of
finally remedying that and I'm glad to report that first episode fucking pretty is all heck like it's
so so pretty it's like all these all the backdrops and environment looked like impressionist paintings
and the animation on an is so good and you immediately like enthralled by all her energy and everything
and the cut words seem to be like this really good good couple and like you know Matthew is of course
this old guy very hmm man of few words but he immediately is taken to and and Merilla seems to be
strict you know not also not a woman of many words and she's like no you got to do your chores
and so on and when and like watch the DCC and she inspects them thoroughly it's like it's
there a stain on it and something like that but she she you know she you see already that she
kind of also really starts liking and and wants to keep her around but she's also worried because she
doesn't know anything about bringing up a child and she's you know an older woman and she's
worried she probably can't live up to the expectation and so on so it's gonna be really interesting
seeing these three grow into a real family which I assume is the story of this and yeah I loved it I
think this is I'm there's a reason why this is one of the ones that always gets mentioned when
it comes to an am an adaption of classic Western literature and I'm looking forward to finally
finally experiencing it it was a maybe because I wasn't sure like okay what is I don't know where it's
going I'm not sure I assume this is just gonna be and having the her slicey life adventures with a
lot of imaginative stuff you know and a lot of bewitching a lot of people with her weird energy and
that's gonna be the story and her becoming a part of that family and of that community I don't
know if that will be enough to hold my interests all the way through like I have no idea I can't tell
it all depends on how the characters play out and how it's written and so on but just judging from
the first episode I like all of these characters and I think they're great so I don't really see
why it wouldn't be a keeper I just put it at the tail end of the maybe because it was one of those
things with all of slice of live shows where I'm like I technically in my most of my shows I need a
good narrative I need a good story to string me along or you know I don't know really good comedy or
whatever really good which visuals this has a little bit of all of that and I'm like okay I just don't
know if the story will be there but there's probably a reason why why is one of the most famous ones
so I assume I will come out of this or stick with this because it's good so yes and surely definitely
gonna watch one or two more episodes and probably more than that judging from the first episode
what's John what is your next keeper I think our next keeper is fire force season three uh-huh so
it appears the Shinra in the crew company eight have dug a little too deep yes the first episode is
the epitome of well that escalated quickly yes well I like that they gave us a very concise
recap yes okay it took me like two minutes and you were like you're all caught up let's go are you
though like okay the most part yet the problem is again with all all shows that take a kind of long
break and fire force did like it has been over a couple of years yes it has been a while since we
reviewed season two and I listened to both of our reviews of one and two to get caught up again
because at least in two we talk about plot details and it's like okay yeah and I think I now remember
what's going on but also don't know all of the don't remember all of the character interactions
and stuff like that I was immediately caught up on oh yeah I know remember who all of these characters
are but I'm not immediately emotionally reinvested into them I think for that to happen maybe I
need to rewatch the first two seasons again we'll see yeah I mean that would help but I think they
hit the keys yes absolutely me to know well yes yes yeah basically uh captain obi gets abducted by
the Tokyo Imperial Army company is branded as traders uh how may a brainwash is captain burns and
things are bad things are real bad I don't know if she directly brainwash his sim she uses her power to
somewhat manipulate his his faith and his expectations this is the first time where we see how her
noise power how may has power kind of works she can see it more accurate yeah yeah I think with
this the first time we see like her she can see the different emotions and like thoughts
oozing out of characters like out of characters brains and then she can take these these
reactions to what she is saying and can steer the conversation and the thought process of the other
person into a specific direction I think that's what she's doing it's not a direct override or
I mean you uh override of the like she's not taking holds technically and her thoughts become the
thoughts of the other person by the thing she's very much able to manipulate them into a certain
direction by reacting to what they're saying and what they're doing in a very specific way uh kind
of like anticipating their reactions in advance and steering them towards the terrain which is
very interesting power also it apparently does a number on her own brain judging from the blood
curdling screams of pain we hear from her in the first episode uh which I assume is her having
giant ascetics and we'll see how long that how long she's will be able to go on but uh yeah so yeah
like you said Burns is kind of manipulated into working together with the evangelist and also the
entire temple of the holy order of soul uh like they're they're now aligned they're not allies and
kind of parts of the police force too I guess yeah they kind of seem to have their caution everybody now
yeah so we don't know who else the only one we know right now who is really independent of all that
is the uh department eight right our crew fire force department eight and probably some other
characters like Joker maybe parts of Hygema industry where we met into new maybe important characters
in the in the second season so well I think it's implied heavily implied that company seven or like
yeah no something right here either yeah will be interesting to see uh which of uh the the other
characters and character constellations and teams we met in the previous seasons will turn out
to be allies now or maybe also turn around and join the evangelists but yeah this will like the stakes
are immediately raised so high and I guess the next couple of episodes I haven't watched the second
episode yet will be about breaking out OB from the prison and just going against the Tokyo Empire
and uh yeah I'm I'm happy at least from judging from the first episode it looks like the production
values are there again which from the first trailers was not really I wasn't really sure about
but it seems like David production is putting in the work again so that's great to see and here
the sound effects are back that we lost yeah uh I'm looking forward to having finally another season
of fire force and I wonder if this will be the final one have they said like oh I mean this is a
split core because the second half is airing next to January I mean whoa really yep oof okay that I
will but I mean number one we did I don't know for myself you know if this is going to be in the end
of the story number two David production now has their hands full working on steel ball run so
exactly maybe that's the reason why it will take so long uh for the second core to finish because
they just announced working on steel bor one which I must assume means that they have already
started working on it a while ago and this will maybe be their main project for the rest of the year so
they're probably trying to finish that up and then in parallel trying to finish up fire force
season three part two hmm we'll see I just hope the second core then doesn't suffer from them also
working on steel bor run and vice versa um working on two big shows at the same time uh that are
especially steel one run like is has been coming such a long time people have been clamoring for
the an adaption of this for so long time because it's for many people the best arc of jojo's
and everyone is like holy shit like hopefully hopefully they're bringing their a-game
so we'll see I hope they're aware of that I mean I got to imagine yes I mean I got it too I don't know
I hope they will do that because I've also been looking I one of those people I one of those people
who have not read a single page of steel bor run and I'm just drooling over finally be able to
be able to experience isn't it an animated form so uh hmm yes we'll see when that comes uh again
it's only been announced so far no idea if it's actually coming this year or also next year but uh
yes there's no date just that production has been confirmed yes exactly so we'll see uh but yeah
fire force uh season three definitely looking forward to it a bit of a bummer to learn that we have to
wait until next janitor for the second core but oh well at least it's not three or four years or whatever
so that's something but yeah setup is great and to be fair I guess that gives me enough time to
revisit season one and season two and then watch season three and maybe we'll wait with our review
until the second core has aired um maybe that makes sense I don't know but also if they're such a long
waiting time maybe we don't we'll see we'll see how the the review uh roster pants out at the end
of the season if there are enough shows to check out that we share that we watched uh to get an
up episode out of that without touching fire force maybe we will do that if not maybe we were watched
the first core depending on how it ends uh we'll see we'll see let's all the flux now uh but yeah the
judging from the first episode this looks to be a very promising season and since we love both
both of us love season one and season two this is of course uh very uh we're very glad to see that
and see it return finally maybe get to open on shin run Arthur doing their usual antics
yes so of course so that Arthur is back yes fucking idiot uh best boy yeah best boy absolutely uh
so yeah more fire force season three uh or more fire force and uh yeah definitely looking forward
to checking out more of that my next keeper is technically it's show that I at least have revealed
the reason incarnations of but it's a spin off of that and that is my hero academia vigilantes
and uh that which I didn't know is also a prequel uh it's apparently said before they could
interest the hero school oh you know for some reason I had in my head that it was like concurrent
like the story same expectations so I'm a bit surprised not necessarily worried but I'm always
kind of uh about prequits because I'm like this won't change anything in the best case scenario it
fills us in on some interesting things that we didn't know about before but also that can ruin some
some aspect and some interesting mysteries about certain characters and in the worst case scenario
it just does not matter at all to this universe because it's it must be an inconsequential story
because the main story is still gonna happen right so like they these these characters from this
show cannot change the status quo because the status quo is heavily little lined on the story
of surrounding all might and all for one and that is the story of my hero academia proper so
it can't be about that so what will it be about I'm not sure yet just after watching the first episode
but it's about this one guy Koichi as this weird powerway can glide across any surface as long he is
at least like three points of his body uh having contact with it so it's usually his knees and hands
like the small car or like a cockroach as many people like to remark and just driving around
the pavement or whatever not very fast though pretty much on the level of a slow bicycle
it looks goofy but it's a fun idea and then we have one of the other three main characters or
sensible main characters is popstep which is the self proclaimed idle I don't know what her power is
yet she seems to be able to leap farther than other people so kind of float I guess but also not really
and she and then we have this third character called knuckle duster the janitor of the fist
who is kind of like this bad man coded type but also not to be taken super seriously there's the scene
in the first episode where uh Koichi uh and popstep are harassed by these three hot hot hot looms
and he saves them from them but also while trying to do this hero landing thing just falls into a
huge pile of garbage bags garbage trash bags which is like well this landing was awkward but now I'm
here it's like it does like his weird own version of of all my catchphrase and he is like he's a very
kind of problematic person because his solution to everything is okay I'm gonna beat up this person
first and then I'm gonna ask them questions and Koichi is Koichi immediately is like I don't want to be
your student because I just can't fight I'm really bad at fighting and I don't I just want to do
these little small tasks for people and tap them out in the daily business like pick up their phone
if they drop it or recycle some bottles or whatever that's the hero work I want to do right like that
lifts my spirit if I had a bad day but it's also not super risky and also doing unregistered hero work
in this society is forbidden by law which is where the vigilante stuff comes in uh which all of these
are not registered heroes and technically everything they're doing is illegal um which is also the
Japanese terms uh Japanese term which is a bit weird like vigilante bokeh no hero academia illegal
or whatever and so like that a little better yeah honest and uh yeah so Koichi is like I really don't
want to deal with this guy but also if I let him run around freely he's gonna hurt some innocent
people so I'm just gonna stick with him and make him stop if he becomes too violent or whatever
and pop stuff also get thrown into mix into the mix because she is like saved by them technically and she
guess he likes Koichi and what he's doing and so on and yeah so I guess this is gonna be our character
constellation the constellation the opi is amazing like they really go heavy on the onomatopias in the
with you know all the words throwing around all the comic bookie uh stuff even more so than in my hero
academia proper it's very colorful it's very pop artsy it's uh the ed is also cool and everything
and these characters seem to be fun Koichi definitely is not as strong as Diku is he's very he seems
very wimpy but that couldn't also be fun uh and he's also a big all-night fan so we we see where
this goes and yeah this knuckle duster is fun and pop step seems fun so at the end of tail end of
the first episode when knuckle dust again causes some trouble and it's attacking a weird attacking
innocent salary man because he suspects him of being responsible for this drug that is being
distributed in the dark alleys of hero city called what was it called trigger I think yeah which
can enhance your your quirks but also makes you kind of become unhinged and I think we got a
version of that in my hero academia proper I don't know if it was called the same there I don't know
if that is the same drug maybe but that seems to be the big thing and the first big investigation
and think they were gonna solve in this and then they run into eraserhead and he's trying to stop
knuckle duster so we'll see how this plays also and this is definitely set before my hero academia
because there's also a cameo of dick who's mom in the first episode and she's still young and still
very skinny when compared to you know her my hero academia proper look so yeah dick who is probably
still very young in this episode maybe in elementary school or whatever so yeah let's see
where this goes we'll see if this has any influence on the the my hero academia proper story or if
this will at some point really just maybe we'll see in the final season of my hero academia we'll
see some cameos of these characters I I wouldn't be surprised if that happens and see a more adult
version of koichi see more adult version of pop seven so on and whatever but yeah for now yeah
this is a prequel and a spin-off but it looks fun bones really not uh falling it in for this one
so yeah looking forward to it I still like my hero academia and since that is very close to wrapping
up next season it's gonna be the final one it will be nice to have another thing from that universe
even though it's a prequel another proper sequel so yeah looking forward to more of that and then
we're gonna keep on watching done our final shared keeper do you want to take us in there
that's good at me but mobile suit Gundam G-Quacks G-Quacks which is now confirmed to be how you
are supposed to pronounce that thing and expect a lot of fucking ductiles jokes coming in the review of
that for me oh god yes well so what what what is happening in the space colony of duck perch on stop
so the I guess the one year war has sort of come to an end at this point uh not in a way you might expect
but uh the story centers around this girl Amate who runs a foul of this other girl uh
her name is nyan we get to know her as uh do we know her name their names in the first episode
because then I completely missed them I think they need to drop her and I get they think I think
they just call her nyan on the first episode but amate is just trying to live out her life doing her
thing when she gets basically bold over by this this girl and she ends up picking up a piece of
unwanted luggage from her and find out later on that this item is basically a key then enables weapons
on mobile suits like enables the usage of weapons on them not not just you know the movement the
locomotion like oh you can use your fists or whatever but this is like an actual combat unit type
thing and it's an illegal not an illegal item but you're not not everyone has actually access to it
right this is I don't know technically an army thing and also used in these underground battle
things or whatever called plan battles yes and amate basically ends up get chasing down is we will not
really I'm gonna say it's just not sure what to do with this thing but she finds out what it is from
look because you know the internet exists in space and she's able to look up this partner and discover oh
this is what this thing is and you know what do you do with it you can't go to the authorities with it
because you're carrying something that you shouldn't be so she just tries to do her thing when
neon finds her on the street steals it from her and now their fates are sort of intertwined
because they deliver this part back to this group who are trying to use this thing so they can
rebuild a zaku and get into clan battle like you said but when the military police are kind of
throwing their weight around in a way they shouldn't be for other reasons when they plug in the
key to this zaku in its mono i turns red it sort of puts a target on their back meanwhile there's
this red this fancy red mobile suit that's flying around real fast around the space colony
interesting a real-time red mobile suit yes almost like a comet that is red interesting so these
fellows who are basically zian in a ship that looks suspiciously like a pegassist class almost
like a white base you might even call it a green base deploy a new type of mobile suit called
the g-quucks to go after this red comet and who who who knows who might be the pilot you know we
don't know that's not for certain do we have our suspicions but it's not confirmed but you know
they're we sort of see and i guess this was revealed in the movie cut of like the first three or
four episodes but and we see it in the episode preview that maybe the one year war went a little
bit more differently in this timeline than was previously told yes apparently i think that's
fascinating yes this is an alternate version of Gundam the original Gundam 79 apparently which
i wasn't aware of when what it was so cool yeah this is pretty cool i was like okay this all sounds
very familiar but you know some of these characters are very new and you know the the the
Gundams look completely different so it's like okay and i like that you know our main main girl
also decides to get into the fucking Gundam and it's like i'm gonna fight and not just ends up in it
so uh yeah i really just to see where this goes and also you know it's like it's probably apparently
gonna be like only one course show if i'm not mistaken so that is really interesting because
they're doing how long the fucking original show went so what is the story actually gonna be
like who is gonna be even in it is amoros probably not gonna be in it maybe he's dead maybe he
never got the original guy like i'm really interested to find out how the war actually went in
this because you're apparently completely you're zero apparently completely one
and but char is still out there so he didn't like fulfill his original plan no idea what what
what is happening and what's going on but it's it's like many of Hideaki Anno's project in recent time
and you know this is probably also one of the big stories about this is handbar studio Kara
so his studio and he is the guy behind one of the biggest mac shows of all time he on Genesis 7
galleon but also he has directed a lot of throwback stuff in recent time like
Shin Ultra Man think you are so the directed the new common writer that was also throwback to the
original one i think he has done a lot of yeah i think he's done a lot of hey remember this stuff
that in front my childhood i'm gonna do a version a version of that original thing and this might
be that for Gundam it sure feels like it it sure feels like okay this is my version of the original
what the original Gundam show 79 show could have been and that's super interesting i really
i want to find out what his vision is for this and how it plays out i'm just like many people i'm
not technically not necessarily on board with the design of the G-Quarks of i think it's okay it's not
one of the best ones but i think it's you know i think in general adet also counts for charis
suit uh the model designs are a bit busy in this yeah i mean i'm curious about one thing because
char mayor may not be in the red mobile suit so i wonder what's up with that
yeah i mean but he's in the show that's the i think we see him in the episode preview for episode
two at least we see a guy who is wearing his mask yes it could be anyone of course right who knows
yeah i mean i think that should stay flashback to how all of this how G-Quarks in particular kicked off
yeah maybe we'll see i judging from this what what this seems to be yes this could very much be
char and this could just be it how how it would display out in in if the war went a bit differently
and he if he maybe came into the picture later or whatever we'll see um all of this is part of the fun
and you know we'll see we'll see where this goes from here of course we're always available for more
Gundam i don't know if a bit disappoint this is only going to be one core because you know with
the ostensible production values on the first episode but maybe that's also why it looks so good i
would gladly watch like a two-course season and which from Mercury was really fucking good even with
two-course so sometimes you have a tight story that you feel like you can tell in you know
yeah a shorter amount of time so i mean and i want more than you've seen yes if this is a one and
go show and it stells a really it has a really compelling version of that original uh Gundam timeline
from beginning to end yes please give me that um absolutely interesting fights look good even like
i said some of the stuff is a bit hard to follow because the Gundam models are so busy with so much
details on them but it looks very promising and the characters look fun and the animation is great
the traditional animation anti-cg animation is also good and the design of the space colony in the
first episode looks really good like it's a it's a it's a dream tinted in neon light it's it's really
cool it's really cool like i just really like the look of this show looking forward to more i guess
i get don't know what else to say more Gundam and i mean got a lot to live up to considering like one of
the like which romurki we was one of the best Gundam shows we've seen in recent times and but if someone
can do it it's a no so yeah i i'm so curious i just want to know more about this man yeah and i need
to be careful not to get spoiled because of course a lot of people not a lot of people maybe but some
people have already seen more than or technically already the first three episode in movie form so
still clear of that kind of discussion was like i just gonna have a little no i don't want to know yet
i heard a little bit of talk but not not anything too too much so yeah so we'll see but yeah
definitely keeper definitely one of the shows we look forward to the most this season
and i hope it's gonna be a fun ride from beginning to end
all right that's it for this sneak peek everyone and uh yeah let's move on over to our first
review for this season dragon ball diamond
so it's been a while since the uh the vaunted king of shounan
one of the vaunted kings of shounan i guess i should say as grazed us with its presence
yes when when did super and wait when did we review it uh we have a review of decks we can look this up
dragon ball super the anime ended in 2018 so yes yes yes yes yes and we reviewed it on
June 24th 2018
that sounds right 53rd episode hail to the king listen to it it fellow dragon ball fans
if you want to i mean we had to do it we had a mini review of dragon balls super super hero after that as
well so that was still something that we did after that and dragon ball super broly i guess came
also after that so and then super hero yep yeah it was this weird was that a mobile game tie in like
i didn't watch that dragon ball heroes or whatever that was that was not canon something bullshit super
dragon ball heroes was a tie in within our arcade game um okay now i think i watched maybe
the three episodes of that and i was like okay so this is just they are selling the product which is
it's fine that's whatever instead i watched uh nicken landy of team four star suffer through it
that seems like the right way to do it they had a series where they sat down and watched and
reviewed all i forget how many episodes but the episodes are like short so if you wanted to watch
yourself it's not a big time commitment i think there may be like five minutes max
your friend of mine watched was like i don't know if i want to watch dimar i didn't like all of super
and dragon ball uh super dragon ball heroes was pretty shit i was like why did you watch that
heroes exist it you know what two its credit heroes has some fun stuff in it but in large part it's like
don't don't waste your time man watch the good parts ignore the rest like not even not even one
not even one of those like filler lists just here's like the two or three good ones you can watch
those in isolation and have fun it's a real gt experience yeah yeah i'm in gt experience though
well we kind of got a gtdo over with dimad didn't we so pretty much kind of
epititit's it's definitely going for that in more ways than i expected actually yes
so uh thank you to the friends at mael rewright we can summarize it a little bit like this
after saving the world from the destructive might a maging boo sun go koo in his allies look
forward to a well earned rest however unbeknownst to them their battles recorded and observed by goma
in evil being who assumes the title of king in the demon realm filling the void left behind
with the death of the former ruler dubwara that goma cite is degasu the younger brother of the
eastern kai uh known as sheen in the dub uh being who lords over the universe jelos of his brother's
power degasu works alongside goma to steal earth's dragon balls and preemptively subdued any potential
future enemies calling upon the power of the legendary dragon shenran goma wishes for go koo
and his friends to be reverted to children intending to rob them of the limitless power that defeated
boo with earth's greatest worries shrunken down goma upducks denday that planets acting
god but go koo refuses to be set back by his new body working to master his younger form to fight
as proficiently as he could as an adult joined by seen in gloryo a mysterious but seen rebellious demon
go koo pursues goma to the demon realm in order to rescue denday and restore his friends to their
natural agents so yes the gt influence is very plain right off the bat but i mean there's enough
different in here to say oh yeah no this this did its own thing and it was you know this was the
last thing that toriama rest his soul actually touched so you know you can definitely at least tell
that there are touches of him all throughout this with some with certain plot choices with certain
plot twists that come and go and certain pieces of characterization yeah for sure i mean that's a big
elephant in the room that this is the last toriama thing we will get out of dragon ball like now this
is over and now it's done like you will never get another uh dragon ball serious or anything else with
the toriama handwriting so to speak so of course that leaves us a bit sad but also i think he could have
ended it on a worse note like oh yeah i think that's a pretty good finish to in terms in regards to
living up to the dragon ball spirit especially the original dragon ball spirit because in all for
all intents and purposes this is doing for the most part what dragon ball gt i feel like try to do but
couldn't really achieve and trying to just go back to the adventure routes of dragon ball you know
just not being all about okay here's come the next big enemies and let's fight them and then
this and this and new transformations and everything and getting stronger and more tournament fights
and whatever but also let's have a little fun adventure let's go to new different places and
mainly spent the main time of the of the runtime of the of the show just exploring these places
and having some doing some shenanigans there and having some fun time of course there are battles
there's a lot of fights but not as many as you might think at least not when it comes to your classic
one-on-one you know next tough guy obstacle for goku it's more it's more a treasure hunt it's more like a
hey we we need to get our usual dragon ball macaw fins and then we have the mission to you know
become adults again and maybe beat an evil demon lord on the side and that's kind of it and while
we do that we make some new friends we explore some interesting vistas in this yet unknown demon yet
unknown to us demon realm and you the viewer will accompany us on that and that is very much
in the spirit of the old Dragon Ball series that feels a lot more lighthearted than some of the darker
aspects of Dragon Ball Z and so on or even super and I thought that was a welcome change of pace
I feel like some parts of the show due to it not necessarily having like an
like a ticking clock or anything on it really has like feels like maybe to some people who
are in more fun of the older Dragon Ball not the older Dragon Ball stuff but the Dragon Ball
stuff where goku and company are older this might feel a bit too a bit too lighthearted a bit too
I don't know maybe trading water at certain points maybe me and drink a bit here and there
but that's kind of part of the fun and that's kind of part of the old Dragon Ball stuff it's like
hey okay you got your main focus is getting to Dragon Balls everything else is just you know
happens it's just happening around goku and you know some fights here some fights there some fun
adventures here seeing some cool monsters and shit and you know having some jokes having some laughs
there's very much of that in here I don't know if it's as much of get get comedy focus as
very first Dragon Ball series bar was in it's like first season I don't feel like it's necessarily
trying to harden back to that specifically but definitely it's I feel like it's trying to do like
I said what GT was trying to do going back to some of the adventure routes but also showing you new
stuff you know that you haven't seen before and they're not going to space like they do in GT
they're going to the Demon Realm and actually this is probably the thing that surprised me the
most about the show we learn so much lore like the lore of this fucking universe and not only
the realm but Dragon Ball universe in general because it turns out it's heavily connected to the
Demon Realm and more aspects than one is like so expanded upon I did not see that coming we learned
so much more about established characters like Piccolo like the glins you know like shin and
and yeah siblings apparently and so on you know that's the smallest thing even but so much more stuff
of what namax about you know about a bunch of things about things that happen z with dupra with
boo and so on how they came to be there's so much there's so many red cons in this goddamn show
where it's like oh this is where that came from oh this is where that came from of course you know
that wasn't the initial attention when you know z was happening and so on but I feel like none of
none of that felt misplaced in my opinion I was like oh that's bullshit why did they
try to explain it like that no or john did you have some moment in in dimo where you were like
I don't like that they changed that or anything I felt like most of this felt like a nice addition to
the dragon bowl lore yeah I felt like I really feel like there any moments where I was like oh I don't
like that but I feel like there are moments where it's like so that's how you're gonna explain now okay
all right all right okay all right yeah I felt like this was I don't know if if toriama was watching one
piece in recent times like oh okay odaz doing this shit all the time like bringing up old shit and
doing adding some new shit to it and trying to explain things that probably he didn't think of before
I can do that too fuck you I'm the master here I am the original so I'm gonna do the lore master
I'm the lore master actually I forgot about all of what my like half of my character specifics
and spreadsheets and whatever all the time but don't don't don't bring that up I can scream come up
we shouldn't you should and I don't know how much of this like of the details of this story um
actually were written by him if you had more of an oversight rule like how much of like
like the specifics were are were written by him like we're talking about him or how much was you
know done by you know maybe some other episode writers or so on so who knows how much of that
input but it sounded like he had a lot of input on on on this so yeah for that production on this
started like years ago so he probably I have to imagine before he passed he wrote probably almost
everything he wanted to for this yeah I would imagine so I mean the story was probably done way
before they started with the animation and everything so and most part anyway like there's some parts
that were probably just you know and it was like okay what runtime do we have but also it's not like
it's not a standard number of episodes 20 episodes and that's like what's the first
what first episode double length or something I don't remember it's like one and a half maybe
it wasn't quite double but it also wasn't yeah I think it was maybe like we'll standard episodes
like 24 minutes I think it was maybe like 30-ish it was slightly longer but yeah then we still don't get
to our stand at 24 26 episodes so it's like okay it feels like they were telling exactly the
the amount of story they wanted to tell with these 20 episodes and with the story they had I was
surprised how long the final battle went actually yeah that was a bit more that was maybe a bit too
long I didn't hate it because it looked really good like yeah true it's when they went all out and
we we go getting ahead or ourselves or I'm getting ahead of myself but you know I mean this show looked
pretty great from top to bottom yes so it definitely it definitely just in many aspects had like and
okay everyone is pulling out all the stops like everyone is here like everyone is bringing their
best to this because depending on when this started and when this wrapped up you know people were
aware that maybe this is no no when when did Toriyama die Toriyama passed in 2024 they passed
a last march so it most of it had to have been done by that one so but still it definitely feels like
it definitely feels like okay we're gonna bring our everything to this because this is another one
that that seems to be something that Toriyama really wanted to put out there and you know good we
bring gonna bring our best like the voice actors or once again bringing their best the the animators
definitely especially like I said in the last fight crazy of course you have some episodes in
there that are not as spectacular as the other one but it's a general really great baseline level like
especially when you compare to you know the other rainbow stuff I mean super also looked
very good especially in the tournament of power but also in a lot of parts it didn't
super slow were way lower than diamonds and yes I think I mean not again to get out of myself but
that's a general feeling I got from this show it like it maybe never reaches the highest highs of super
but it also never comes even remotely close to the lowest lows in any aspect be it animation or story
or you know just pacing or you name it you name it like I mean I feel like it's a smaller more
contained stories that doesn't have to hit the higher highs absolutely and that's
totally towards benefit like I mean I said some people might feel like some parts of this are
trading water but that's only probably because it's just not constantly okay the fate of the
universe is on the shoulders of our heroes what's going to have it who's gonna everyone is gonna
die if Goku doesn't beat this person no it's just be that all the time it doesn't have to be that
all the time it wasn't that in the original Dragon Ball and it doesn't have to be here and you know
some people might not familiar with this more casual adventure start sorry telling of Dragon Ball
because they never watch the original show and they you know they just grew up with Z and that's
their thing and you know that's that's the tone they expect from Dragon Ball and and diamonds
definitely not that first of all you have to get turned into kids that's him that's a main identifier
for you that this will have a different tone I mean Z has kids super has kids they're goton
there's goton death trunks right you have those of course but it's still you know if you turn all
your entire adult cast at this point into kids you're making a statement you're saying okay
this is gonna be more lighthearted this is gonna be more fun time this is probably gonna be
eventually more eventually more jokie and then you also introduce this new setting you introduce
like okay we have to find the Dragon Balls we're gonna have to travel to this new exciting ram
and there we're just gonna have a fun road trip because this is you know again a lot of what the
first Dragon Ball series the original Dragon Ball series wasn't a lot of what this is it's like
hey we're gonna get on a fucking plane and then we're gonna travel to these places where they are
maybe creatures who protect Dragon Balls and then our plane gets stolen and we got to steal
our own plane they go through so many planes in this goddamn show yeah they do
past like I don't know by episode four they're like a plane three or something like that I don't
remember is really that sounds right I don't remember exactly how many either but yeah
yeah yeah there's a lot there's a lot of planes in this show and that's also not not like a
coincidence like planes are super rare commodity I guess in this in this universe like and it's
hard to combine so it makes that it's a sense that they constantly get stolen like one of our main
new additional characters side characters her her father is a king and at some point she said well
we just stole a plane and he stole a plane and is trying to get to that place and Vegeta is like
father's a king and stole a plane and she's like well he might be king what we're not rich so
that's sometimes it's like that it's like that right yeah that's fun and yeah that's kind of the
the tone you you can think of and a lot of things where in other Dragon Ball shows you my thing oh
they're introducing this character oh this this will probably become a super important antagonist
for Goku and his strongest enemy yet and no probably not probably not even a remotely recognizable
roadblock that I feel like Goku and his companions and some of them only later join in like Vegeta
Piccolo, Bulma their sideline for half of the show like they they are stranded on earth until a
friend of of one of our new characters punzy pick or one of the members of the court picks them up
and brings them over and yeah like a lot of they are not really outmatched except for like
the final battle in the final battle they have real they they have a real struggle on their hand
but before that yes they have some strong opponents there and we'll get to them but
outside of that not really like Goku is very easy play most of the time in this show like
not really not not a lot of tough enemies in the demon realm but yeah let's get to it a John
what did you want to talk about a bit about the demon realm what what we get to see there what
things we learn and what new interesting characters we meet right so pretty much the entirety
of the story revolves around going to the demon realm to chase down goma and get back denday and
recover yeah get back to their human yeah like me and get everyone back to their adult forms so you know
again we get back to the status quo but within the demon realm there's like three different worlds
the first is where goma is the demon king palace and where he's running his whole operation and
watching over goku and everyone and seeing what their moves are there's the second where the
namex and the glins originally come from and also there's literal giants there called the
megaath and the gigath and they run a run a foul of some of the megaath and that's you haven't
met the gigath yet right we have only met the we the only existing rumor okay yeah because I think it's
uh is it never who who is a new character he's an amic that the the the crew meets he kind of steps in at one
point he has another role to play but he steps in one point says oh well you know the megaath are huge
but the gigath are even bigger and everyone's like what are you talking about what do you mean
also there's a lot of water in this world yes yes and then there is the third
demon world where we kind of start out and that's where we meet pansy who is one of our new
our new friends the main new friends aside from one other person I would say yes and pansy is the
daughter of king codon who we who you referenced earlier is uh being sort of a thief king
and it has a lot and I I feel like this is intentional because it calls to
uh winitori amus other works has big sandland vibes I haven't seen sandland yet or reddit yet or
played it yet so I don't I mean I have I have not either but I mean just from the setting it's oh yeah
yeah yeah yeah the the third demon realm is very barren land desert land ish so yeah that that kind
also fits but yeah very out it filled with outlawed yeah some some hood looms everywhere everyone trying to
steal shit and so on and but yeah so it's like like a lot of dark dusty bars be careful where you tread
when you have pansy pansy is super fun she's kind of like for like half of the show she's the
Bulma character she smart feisty she likes to tinker with machines uh and you know I was happy to see
that when Bulma joins the gang they immediately hit it off because they like are interested in the
same things and are like tinkering with with some parts of the ship or whatever and Bulma super
interested into it and so is pansy and this immediate besties is pretty cool like that a lot
oh yeah she's super fun she she is kind of a rebel I guess uh fighting the jandarmory
which is the police of the demon realm and under gomas commands or good gotta see that jandarmory
was each choice of transolingation yeah yeah yeah I mean like I feel like the royal guard or something
yeah sure better but you know sure all right fine yeah so we we are not the translators so
this is they can do whatever the one as long as it makes kind of sense but we also get another
important character who is there pretty much from the beginning to the end of the show I guess we
get to meet glorio and glorio is he's kind of a mystery at first uh he he's he has something in mind he
has his own objectives but he's willing to help uh goku and everyone make their way to the demon realm
but he's a man of few words uh goku can't ever seem to get his name right nope
"Golillo Glorillo, Gorilo?"
How many different ways did you say readers?
A bunch of them.
Outside of one exception, he, yes, never gets it right.
Yeah, Glorillo is, you know, but he's, Goku can also tell, "Well, you gotta be pretty strong,
right?"
And they have this fight and-- Glorillo, shows it off too, you know, be pretty capable
until Goku tells you, you know, his bag of tricks and goes super-saying.
Yes.
Which also takes, like--
Takes everyone by surprise.
Yeah, especially the Minotaur that was very intent on fighting them before this.
He was very taken aback of Sigurillo and Goku got it and then he was like, "Oh, suddenly,
I'm absolutely not hungry anymore."
I find the Minotaur hilarious because he comes out and he's like, "Whoa, I'm gonna eat you
up."
Then he gets put in his place and then we never see him again, except for he shows up
in one of the still frames and the opening sequence implying that he would have something
later on and he doesn't--
I feel like this is--
I feel like the--
It's a sub-boiler, but it's like, eeehh.
I feel like the opening sequence, like, makes us believe that a lot of the characters are
more important than they actually are.
Get more scream time.
It's more like of a prestige of, "Hey, he is only captured, you're gonna meet and some
of them are just gonna be in here for like a minute or something and not really matter."
Maybe have one cool scene and that's about it.
So cool OP though.
Don't get me wrong.
I loved it.
It's so chill and I love to listen to it every time.
The ED is also nice companion piece to it.
I also like--
Again, they did the thing.
We both like with the OP, they changed it at that point to accommodate a bit of a change
in the character roster, which I also appreciate it.
So yeah.
Good shit!
Like, in general, the soundtrack of the show is also great.
Like there's this nice, really nice battle tune, I guess the main battle theme of this
show that is a cool jam and there are the appropriately epic additions later on when they
have their big, big, big, big fights.
So yeah.
Yeah, I mean, the music was done by Kostya Yamashita, who's not as big in the anime scene.
He's done some anime, but he is known for doing a lot of RPG work and there's definitely
hints of that to the music.
It's definitely, and we're going on an adventure RPG style sort of like some of the battle
themes and I was like, yeah, I could see this not being out of place in the game, which
is funny enough, there's going to be a dime expansion for DBZ Kakarot, so there we go!
Yeah, I feel like dime are with, you know, this being, going, harkening back to the adventure
roots of Dragon Ball could also work as a standalone adventure game thing.
Like a smaller game, like maybe for Switch exclusive or something like that, where it's like,
yeah, you could just go around, maybe level up your characters a bit and also fight a bit,
maybe even turn-based battle or whatever.
So yeah, it feels like an action RPG thing that could happen, that would make sense.
So yeah, definitely like see interesting worlds, like meeting interesting people.
It's nice to travel, I guess, even if you constantly need to acquire a new plane or bugs,
they don't have sense who beings in this, but they have metabucks, what are they called?
Something like that.
Yeah, they have bugs, Fagnite, they can heal different ailments, they can take years of
a purist off your life, what are the characters interested in that?
Gee, who could guess?
They can fuse people together.
Yeah, there's a whole host of different types then, which is, that's pretty cool.
Yeah, but I feel like the show doesn't make as much use of this as I expected it or wanted
it to do, maybe because it feels like, okay, here's this new gimmick that we're gonna
have because this is specifically a thing that the demon has and it enables us maybe
to do some weird shit that kind of gets around the, they shouldn't be able to do this yet.
That's actually for Super or whatever.
I mean, there's something like that at the very end of the show, but I think we get
at the two spoilers to have the spoilers at some time because also this is Dragon Ball.
I mean, we've talked about Dragon Ball many times.
I don't know how much you can spoil about fucking Dragon Ball.
This is not just a thing to be, there's also a thing to be said for the people who are
obsessed with power scaling because this really, Dima would raise some questions, but I'm
not here to be like, oh, well, about that, blah, blah, blah, it's just like, yeah, also
it doesn't fucking matter.
I am willing to hand wave all of that and say, you know what?
Dima takes place in the movie universe.
Yeah, that's fine, but also it works as a step between Z and Super.
This is fine.
It's totally fine.
Like they never go technically beyond Super Sage and three and, you know, at the end at
the very end we get a bit more and we'll get to that.
That is also kind of like facilitated through special magic.
So it's not the normal transformation.
So that's implied, but then there's also something else that said to the contrary.
So yeah, yeah, it's a bit weird, but also does it really matter, guys?
Like, does it really fucking matter?
Not really, no fucking cares.
Like Goku has a different hair now.
Like that was super for like most of the time and everything else is kind of just stronger.
So who gives a shit?
Like when that happens and also sometimes he just decides to do that anyway.
He has always done that and like we said, Toriyama forgot a lot about what the transformations
can do and what power they have for like for a lot of Z, Z anyway, because it just got
so out of it.
Whatever, this doesn't matter and also this is not the important part of the show.
The important part is just having new and funny characters and having some fun and light
adventures and we're going through different parts of the third demon realm.
The main thing Goku and crew later on have to do is fight these three warriors, robots,
special creatures, whatever created as it turns out by never the nemmock we meet who kind
of did a lot of things around the demon realm was responsible for a lot of shit there.
Like creating the drag balls there, I think is responsible for that.
He created their protectors so that the drag balls don't fall into wrong hands ideally
and also created a shield between the demon realm and so on which we later learned that
is responsible for that.
Like he's a, he's in many aspects the architect of this place.
Yeah.
I mean, I think we had previously known that the nemmocks were split between the dragon
and the warrior clan's neva seems to have a lot of really cool variable abilities that
are actually kind of interesting.
Maybe he's the all fodder of nemmocks like the eldest one around ever.
I mean, that's possible.
They don't really touch on that.
I guess you could infer that, but it's also nice.
Like they don't have to explain everything.
They could be like, yeah, it could be that.
Maybe he isn't, isn't fun to think about.
I also like that they like going to a bit more explanation of, hey, how did piccolo's dad
like King Piccolo end up technically in an earth realm like or how we, he, why was he
king of part of the demon realm for a while or whatever.
That was nice.
Yeah, I like that.
Goku has to go to these three different warriors, the Tamagamis and has to fight them and then
defeat beats them and then has another special, a good task.
She's that accomplishes that then he gets a dragon, but it's only three dragon balls, not
seven.
And this is so it's like the nemaek in drink, but which makes sense because I never created
them.
So they also have to call Palunga and not proper normal Shen long, per Shen long in the, in
the end there, repalunga of all things.
Yeah, that was cool.
That was kind of cool to see.
Yeah.
So that that which I find interesting is that also harcons back to GT with the red Shen
Ron.
Yeah, I only watched parts of GT, but yeah, I feel like that was a specific call back to
that.
So, yeah, that's interesting.
And yeah, so that is the main goal and a pansy joins him and a glorio joins him acts
a bit like of a of a guide to them like or he is the pilot in most of the time and later
that one weird guy from pansy's court, Hibus also then is the pilot.
Hibus.
He's a special boy.
He's great.
He might be the best character in the show.
Well, that's up to 48 because we have not talked about the two best in my opinion best
characters of the show yet.
So, but yeah, so they kind of joined forces at some point, but in the beginning is mostly
just a Goku, a glorio, shin or nahare as we let her, which is his real name also nice addition
was like these are these little things where we learn more things little things about established
characters.
It's like, yeah, we can't really do that with Goku and so on because we kind of now at
this point know everything there is to know about them, but hey, we have some side
characters that maybe still have some hidden aspects to them and he's one of them like
she is like, okay.
Yeah, of course I have a real name, she is a, I'm just, you know, everyone calls me Kawashin
because someone because that's my title, but my real normal glint name is not and yes,
I have siblings and they're decads.
Well, one of them has a turnaround, but it's just like, yeah, that's, you know, that's
fun and yeah, those glorio puns, Goku, shin, they go and get to get to the first time
agami and then later Vegeta, Bulma, Piccolo and Hybus joined them and, you know, then they
get to the second one and so on and meanwhile on the other side of thing, we have Goma doing
some shit in the background.
He's scared that Goku will get to him and will get the Dragon Balls.
He, you know, tried to avoid all of this with, by making them children to make them not
threat for him anymore, which apparently didn't work out because everyone is still incredibly
strong even as kids, even with the weird, heavy air of the demon realm that they need to
get a climate, a climate that's not as strong as in their adult forms, of course, but they're
still goddamn strong.
So also Goku and Vegeta don't have much of a problem beating the Tamagamis, which I
mean, at least not the fight because the second thing, okay, Goku has to, has to play, find
the ball like with the, with the baskets and then there's the ball hidden under one of them
and the Tamagami mixes them around and he has to find them.
It's also not a problem for him because it's just about speed and seeing things and of course
Goku can do that.
There was, what a lot of his training in the original Dragon Ball series was all about,
like recognizing movement, very quick movement and being able to catch up to it and everything
if his enemy is super quick.
So of course he can see that.
Vegeta has a bit more of a problem with his task because it's, it's math technically,
but also it's a trick question so he's very lucky when he gives the right answer.
Yeah, even though he didn't intend to, he's very surprised by it.
And on the other side of thing where they're fighting against the second Tamagami, we
have, Nahade's, a shinsister, Arinsu who also seems to have her own ambitions.
She also wants to, everyone wants to be fucking Demon King in here in this goddamn, like
she, her brother, Dagasu, right, Goma of course, like everyone wants to, wants to up end the
other one, like wants to overtake the other one I guess and then backstab them and, I mean
there's a realm of demons and beasties.
Of course everyone's gonna want to backstab each other.
Yeah, I guess, but I didn't know that, that lens were so, that they were so ambitious and
power hungry and prone to this kind of evil behavior.
I mean, okay, I mean, I'm a sweet, I don't remember.
Yeah, I think so.
Okay, well then I take everything back.
I mean, maybe she is the exception to the rule or something like, I don't know, it's
just a product of actually growing up and living all your life in the demon realm.
Yeah, it, because it seems like a very, every man, woman beast, only demon for themselves.
Yeah, I guess, and I guess they changed the status quo of that by the end of it because there's
also a little bit more exchange, exchange that between the different demon was and so on.
But that was also why never created the shield, right?
Because there were too many evil, like bully demons, whatever coming over to the more peaceful
parts of the realm and he wanted to stop that from happening.
So he created the shield and warped some of which is this weird blowfish that can transport
you from one demon world to another after you pass like a security check.
Of course.
At least as long as the shields are up.
But yeah, so Arinsu, um, shinsister, she also wants to become demon king or queen rather.
And for that purpose, she goes to a witch after she's collected a sample, a remaining sample
of boo at the end of Dragon Ball Z.
That is a red con of all red cons, or it's like, no she's kidding.
She was there all along and she collected it.
She's collected the sample.
Shut up, don't worry about it.
She's there in the video in the playback on Goma's screen.
Did you see her?
Uh, she was there all along.
I didn't see her while I was watching Z.
Yeah, watch the watch Z again.
I bet you can, you can spot her there now.
Oh, man.
If they put her in future editions of this, like fucking copy paste her in there in some frame,
God.
Can you imagine?
I know just real quick.
I know we talked about it during the sneak peak, but we haven't mentioned it here that
we got an amazingly reanimated version of the boo saga.
Yes, to start everything off.
That is true.
Yeah, yeah.
A nice, nice collage recap of the fights there.
That was pretty good.
Yeah.
I mean, feel free.
Which studio was responsible for this sub studio of Toei, right?
Or was it Toei proper?
Because I saw Studio Bird everywhere.
I'm not sure if the ones who were responsible for this or if it was just in house Toei,
a staff.
Um, I mean, I'm trying to look it up right now while we're talking, but I haven't troubled
why do I think I think bird studio is just Toriyama's production studio for Dragon Ball
stuff in general.
Yeah, on Inui News never just as production toei animation.
Okay.
them pick up on bird being responsible for super whatever, but just whoever, this is
a fear free, to make it do over of ZM and not Dragon Ball properly, but the original
Z in that quality, I wouldn't mind. But that would be nice, yes. But I think Dragon Ball's
story needs to be retold. I think it's time. Okay. Yeah, I mean, they could do it. I think
they will probably do that once the original voice cast is no more. I think then will then
they feel like, okay, now it's time now we can start over and start from the beginning,
do a chai version technically of of of older Dragon Ball or just, you know, a general remake,
apparently one piece is currently attempting and be more be closer to the manga and everything
and then maybe they're gonna do the same with Z and all re animate all of it. Like I said,
I think now that Toriyama is gone, there will there won't be after the battle for the
rights or whatever, their problem won't be any stopping to a off just milking the shit
of this franchise even more than before. Yeah, absolutely. So I'm pretty sure that yeah, you
you're right, that makes sense. Like one's the original voice because it's not any is not
there anymore and they can without angering old school fans, they can be like, okay, so sorry,
we can't cast Goku's voice actress because she's not here anymore. So we have to start over,
might as well just start over from the beginning and give you like the new experience so that
everyone can watch your show and I guess it makes sense because that is a dead is still a goddamn
good show. I watch watch it on a similar regular basis and I feel like most people should watch
it and probably a lot of people haven't seen it. Yeah, like everyone has seen Z barely anyone
has seen the OG like yes, and because I would like for that to happen and this is a little off topic,
but I've said it before in terms of OG remakes. It's like this for me as long the lines of I would love
to see a remake of Gundam 0079 and the style of the origin just do it. That's free money man.
It would be fucking great. I always expected them to do that honestly. Like origin was setting that
up so well. I was like, oh, of course, now they're gonna do a remake of 79 and that style and do it
up to charge counter attack probably and no that didn't happen. Oh, okay, we're getting G-Quacks instead,
but yes remakes of older stuff that nobody has watched. I'm not gonna lie to you. I never watched
the original 0079. I watched the three movies that I never watched the original. I didn't watch
the series either. I heard everywhere I heard the movies are first of all enough and in certain parts
better in terms of pacing in terms of everything. Maybe partially disagree because I've had like the
movies felt a bit rushed at certain moments and stuff felt like it was happening out of nowhere.
You're kind of condensing 40 something episodes down to four and a half hours. So even without
watching the old show it was very noticeable that they were compressing down things a lot. So
I still might want to see the old show, but also I would prefer what you suggested having a proper
redone version of that that doesn't compress it too much, but also maybe cuts out some of the
of the of the lard so to speak. And maybe up diets, some of the character portrayals and so on in
terms of dialogue and everything and makes it maybe a bit more contemporary. I absolutely wouldn't
mind that, but we're getting very far off topic. Welcome to her podcast. Yes, let's return to
Dima. So I'm so like we said, a shinsister wants to do her own thing and wants to also get one of
the drag balls. She has one of another ace up all which we get to at the very end because one of the
things one could consider technically a bigger spoiler, but she goes to which name Marba with the
fragment of Boo that she collected and does please create a new margin for me. And as it turns out,
Marba already that because she's actually the one who created Boo and not BobbieD or BPD,
which again, I probably just summoned it apparently. Yeah, yeah, it was really like no actually she's
the one and she has the big M and whatever on her belt and just like that's where it came from.
So okay, all right. She's the margin creator. She also apparently created the cyber man,
which you know with Vegeta and Napa ran around with and she was like, oh, I was selling all of the
I had so many of them. I was selling them to outside source. I was like, oh, okay, she's sold into
the science. So that's why they have them. And all right, they just like they didn't need to put that
in there. Why it was interesting like, okay, if you want to know where those came from now, you know,
you didn't need to know that they didn't need to put that in their technique. It wasn't like
was super essential, but it was like a neat little bit. It's like, okay, these are little red cons I'm
talking about. They're not all as fucking enormous as, you know, Aaron's who suddenly being in Z
in the budget booths like of Z at some point, but yeah, it's so goofy. Yeah, so goofy. It's fun.
It's fun. And yeah, so it's so goofy. Maba creates one for her, which she names Majin Koo,
who is, she is like, I don't want to make him like too powerful. Otherwise, he might be hard to
control. So we don't want something like boot to happen again, because he was too chaotic,
chaotic neutral evil neutral, I would say, probably at some point. And so let's do it like that.
The problem is it turns out pretty, pretty quickly that Koo is not a fighter. It's like, he's
really weak. He's trying to fight Tamagami one and not going well for that guy. And he's giving up.
And then they're going for a second attempt. And she creates Majin do a big more big, a big
broader wider build and apparently much stronger. And also has a lot more of the boo antics. Like,
Majin Koo feels a bit more like kid boo, I guess, in terms of being a bit more straightforward in terms
of what he tries to do and how he looks and whatever. And definitely, and do definitely feels a lot
more playful, more like classic fat boo with what he's doing and everything. And also he's a sweet
tooth like he needs a chocolate. And I love these two characters. They are probably my favorite,
aside from Pansy in the show because I love that instead of Koo like being super envious that now he
gets a brother who is better at fighting than him and then maybe them being at odds such against
each other and backstabbing each other. He is so fucking proud of his little brother and he's
cheering him on from the sidelines. And when he's like, "Oh, fuck, he lacks motivation, I'm going to get
to the shop and get him some chocolate. It's so cute. It's so good. God damn good and cute." It's like
they're the best siblings and and do is always, he looks a bit like he's maybe gonna be, I don't know,
a dumb bully character in something in the beginning. But no, he's like super grateful. He's like,
"When every time someone is nice and he's like, 'Thank you!'" He's so, he's so amazing at adorable.
Like both of them are, they're so, they're so cool. Like, I mean, they're not cool, cool. They're
very goofy, but they're such a neat team. And I loved it. I would like to see a spin-off with them.
They're so fun. Who in do are both very good boys, capital VGB? Yes, absolutely. And they're like,
who is helping him out? Like when they, when they, when a do beats Tom Agam, he won a battle, he has to
do an arithmetic test like in his head with a bunch of numbers he needs to add. And it was like,
nobody can do that. And of course, Duke can, Duke also can do that, but it turns out,
Koo can fight, but he's super smart actually. So he was just able to add that all of his add,
and he whispers to his brother and his brother as good ear as well. And then he says this and
everyone is like, "Oh, holy shit!" And Arons is like, "Holy shit!" Like, wow,
Duke is really good at doing it. And also a scene I like, we quiz like, "Wow, I helped out
pretty well here." And Arons is like, "Well, what? You just, you only watched. You didn't do anything
because she didn't catch that he really like whispered the solution to his brother. And instead of
getting mad and being like, "Ah, fuck, but this was my moment to shine. I did that." He's like, "Ah,
okay, well, as long as Duke is happy and I'm happy and it's okay, it's fine with me." And I'm like,
"What the fuck?" This is like, "This is real, a real cool character. He's so chill." Like, he's so amazing.
And the beginner is like, "Wow, he's weak as weak sauce. Like, he can't do anything. What are
they attempting with this character? Oh, they just wanted to create a really fun, cool,
sympathetic character." All right, thanks, Dragon Ball Dima. No, I really loved Koo and two. They are
absolutely cool characters. And from beginning to end, like later that I joined both the fight and
it's amazing. And I guess this is where we can slowly move into big spoiler territory. So three,
two, one. I fucking love that Koo beats Goma. Yeah. It's the fucking best plot development I've
ever seen. He just gets thrown in his direction. He's like, "Wait, I need to hit him three times in the
back of the hat. I don't have to join. Damn, damn, damn, damn." And it's over. He's so spellbooking.
And it's like, "This is perfect. The best plot." Like, you expect Goma to be blown away by the
fucking giant Kamehameha that Goku dishes out and whatever. But no, no, it's just that
that nice little margin that was created just recently and who has all this brother. And he's like,
"Okay, I'm gonna do this." And everyone's like, "Yeah, what? You actually did it." And his
price is he gets to be the demon king, which is in the nice little bow on this. And he's apparently
doing a really good job at it from the very start. Like, he knows what people to pick and so on. And
to make his ministers, he loves making people ministers. I love that he's like, "Well, I'm not sure
I can do it on my own, but I'm surrounded by all of these people who are really capable. So will
you help me out?" And it's like, "Oh, all right, sure." He's right. He's not physically strong. That is
always what the, "Oh, this is what the past demon kings were all about." Like, really powerful. And he's
like, "No, I might not be that, but I'm pretty smart." And also, I see qualities in people and I know
what they can do to help me make this a better place. And that's his intent. And let's be fair,
he has a super strong little brother that came help him out in the power department. So he's
going to be fine with the due, as his bodyguard from most of what the demon realm can throw it in.
Maybe not with the Giga, whatever they call the giants, but I doubt they intend to invade the
the palace in the near future. Yeah, it seemed like the Gigaeth and the Magath are just kind of
there. Yeah, they're on the stage. They don't care. Yeah, they're on their own thing. They're just
living there doing the daily thing and they only just don't get in their way. If you, it'll
happen to land a strand on their world, just get out of there. But yeah, I got, I love that. I
didn't know what to fucking expect from Koo and do when they were introduced. I'm going to have
the series fight. I'm going to fuse in the beginning and become a really dangerous margin.
Like, I had my finger on that. That was going to happen. And I was like, "Could that be right?
That's probably going to be." And they're becoming a second coming of of Magin. Bull probably,
more dangerous, but also maybe more collected and not just fucking crazy and evil, but also just
more ambitious. And then they tried to become the demon king because they maybe got, I don't know,
bullied by some of the other characters, but for that, they would have had to spend more time
with the game, which is one of the things I would have liked for Koo and Do to maybe join Goku's
gang for whatever reason. Maybe have quickly little fight in the beginning, then they joined their
side because for whatever reason, they can come up with something. And then they have spent some time
with them. And then in the end, it would have maybe felt even more rewarding that Koo is like the
the one person that beats Goma and also becomes demon king. But it was fine as it was. He got
enough screen time. He and his brother did. They had that fucking hilarious run in with, we got
Daniel for us at home. That was fun and cute when they were in the store. They're like, oh, we'll
buy you these snacks and then they look in their wall and say, well, here you go, kids.
Got one chocolate and one whatever that was. I mean, I had a kind of a problem with them
because they're building on up to be the equipment of the Ginius. They just were not,
are they though? They were zero, they were zero threat. Yes, but they were, they were only introduced
like that. But immediately realized those guys are absolute idiots. Like they, they don't take
this remotely seriously and even if they could suggest that, hey, these guys that you are supposed
to protect the pedals from, they bought the, they beat the fucking tamagamis or two of them anyway.
And they beat Martin Boo and tell, ah, he's joking, he's joking. It's like you are already in over your
heads and we didn't really get that feeling from the Ginius for us. So this, they definitely feel
like, oh, this is just going to be a big goof. And they immediately, they get taken out so quickly.
Can it see up so hard? Yeah, you blink and you miss, I mean, their main guy maybe did, could have
done like last two minutes against Vegeta if one of his companions didn't knock him against their
hand with his fucking bazooka. Oh, so fucking stupid, but also funny. So, it's fine. Like this, this is
what, this is the, the fun thing about Dima. It's like if you go into it with expectations for
certain characters that were built up by Super and ZZ, you were, will maybe be disappointed, but also
be pleasantly surprised. Like I was with Koo, whereas like, I did not expect that character to turn out
that way. And I was like, oh, that's so fun. And I liked that a lot. And I'm happy I got to meet
those two characters because they were incredibly funny. True, true. So Koo and D were great, but I just
like hype this a lot because he doesn't care. Oh, he doesn't care about a thing. And he puts Vegeta in
his place so hard. Oh, yeah. Well, you act like a prince or a king, but you act like such a jerk and
Vegeta is like, I'm sorry. Yeah. We did shut him up though. We did really get put into his, into his
in his place. And this, I mean, he gets in super as well and so on, but not so much in the battles
because he had some, has some good moments in fights and so on, but everyone around him is kind of
taking the pisser like, like, high bass, Boma, definitely, although I really love that they turned
Vegeta into such a wife guys in super, like, he was already the ultimate wife guy in super
part that gets extended in this like, like, he's so born my whipped, like, it's incredible. Like, I love
in the final fight when they're like, well, Goku needs to fight Goma to distract him. So Piccolo can
hit Goma and have three times, which Goma has his third eye on this, on his forehead, which gives him
the super power and infinite regeneration powers. And they need to get that off him. And the way to do
that is to knock him in the back of the head three times. So their plan is Goku is gonna just go all
out on him and then Piccolo sneaks in from behind and hit some three time in the head, which later
coup actually accomplishes because Piccolo can't get it done for fuck's sake. And Piccolo kind of gets a
raw deal. Yeah. I mean, at least he got super hero, right? So, but Vegeta is still fighting Goma,
and like, we need to get him out of there because he won't like, he won't have allow me Goku fight Goma
with him together, because this is his turn to fight. And Boma is like, I got something, I know how to
solve this. And she's basically running up and telling, telling Vegeta, listen, husband, if you don't
get down here right now, you won't have shower sex anymore with me. More or less. Yes. She's threatening
to take away his PlayStation. So he's very, his Xbox is very, very, very, very, very, very quickly,
returning to or removing himself from the fight after this threat is made. And I love that scene. I
thought that was in fucking credible. I love the act. He acts all unfazed about if everyone also say,
what did you just say? Yes. So that was incredible. It was amazing. And I love just Vegeta just being
being turned into that guy like he's the ultimate. Boma is the most important thing in my life.
Even more important family man. Yeah. He became absolutely a family. Even more important than
like being better than Goku and fighting and having a fight at beating a ball and an enemy before he
can do that. And Goku doesn't beat that at this enemy just to be clear. He can't do it because Goma is
infinitely regenerating the one who saves the day is cool. So fucking great. Like that's, I mean, it's
kind of in super Goku also wasn't the one who was who Goku in freeze kind of created an opportunity
for 17 to put in the final blow. Yes. So this is kind of along the same lines, but a bit more like
hilarious. Like Goku of course is going all out and he's turning Super Saiyan 4 in the end,
which is the one thing where it's like, okay, I guess you're just doing this to harken back to Super
to to GT because this is interesting because it's a slightly different Super Saiyan 4. Is it? I
didn't never watch the GT that far. In GT, the hands are quite so large. His hands look like monkey
politics. Yeah, that's what I wanted to ask about. Did he always have Popeye arms and hands in GT
because they're not enormous in this fucking John Cena out here? No. And also Dima Super Saiyan 4
has red hair, not black hair. Oh, that's true. I didn't even pay attention to that. Yes. Because I
was sort of seeing their first time I saw it. I was like, so are they supposed? Are they trying to
intend this is like a half step from Super Saiyan 3 to Super Saiyan red? Hmm, maybe. Also, never
is the one who initially like enables this transformation, right? Like he's the one who unlocks this.
Yes, but then Goku, I think I'm just like, oh, but I was kind of working on this in secret. And it's
like, I don't know, it feels like he is like, he is a special bonus. Now that I was able to do this
once because never enabled me to do this, I can do it again. Unless it's something that he couldn't
do it as kid Goku and never was like, oh, I can sense that you can do this in the end, Mark. I don't
get any number of things. So your theories out there. Yes, but also it doesn't matter.
But speaking of Super Saiyan levels, I kind of love that Vegeta is like, that wasn't Super Saiyan 3.
It was ultra Vegeta Mark 1. Of course, of course, you would say that. And I, I mean, I get that can
technically go further than Super Saiyan 3. I wish that would have just skipped this because I
was never a fan of SSJ3. Like, it just, it looks stupid. He looks like a caveman. And it looks even
more stupid and kid form because now they're just fucking supersonic. I mean, I guess I get that, but
I don't know. There's something about it, those, oh, it's cool from the standpoint that
they don't trot it out very often. Yeah, that's true. And I think that's what makes Super Saiyan 3
a bit more special and a bit neater. I mean, yes. And also, there's this reason why they don't
pull it out because it's incredibly energy-consuming, right? Yeah, it doesn't have to be that.
Classically, in Z, originally, it would actually distract from, or detract from Goku's ability being
on Earth if he used it. So yes, in that regard, I get it, but I just think it looks kind of stupid.
It works for it when GoTanks does it because he's a dumb character. But, you know, Vegeta and
Goku are supposed to be taken kind of seriously when they go to that phase and do a big fight. And
they just look fucking hilarious. So, but also, I mean, Dima has a different tone. It's more comedic in
general. So it works better there, I guess, as well. So whatever. Kind of like they never
they never loaded the check-offs gun bullet. That was the fusion bug. Yeah, that was that was one of
the things was like, I expected them to do more with that. Like, I have a kid gojita or Vegeta
in this show because of this. And also, didn't use some of the other bugs that were for special aid
ailments or whatever. Or, could you do, do, yeah. Yes, yes, exactly. Yeah, that was the other
part side of this where we both expected them to have like a fusion of these two characters
and then becoming the ultimate boss. If I was a betting man, I would have lost money on that.
Yeah, same probably. I was like, okay, it's gonna be the really the final villain because it feels like
he's just a sub a villain that then gets just backstep by the real one. And then they're gonna have
the real fight. And at some point, okay, I couldn't do, yeah, I get it. They're not really of a threat
or that big of a threat. Stand alone, but maybe if they fuse, you have the brains of coup with the
brawn of a do and then multiplied. And they're gonna become a new version of boo and like more
formidable version of this with more of a brain than, you know, just raw instinct. And that's maybe
gonna be the final boss. But then go my gets the third eye and like, okay, so I guess he is gonna be
the final villain. So weird. But also, I didn't hate it. I was like, okay, this is surprising. I didn't
just didn't play out the way I expected to. And some of the stuff they set up didn't really play out,
I guess, with red herrings. But I also wasn't like mad about her. I was like, oh, okay, yeah, that's
cool. And I think the most predictable thing that they set up that also happens, like the glorious of,
you know, that he is a hidden spy, whatever, like from Arinzu. And they also reveal that pretty quickly
that he is in her employee. And but that also gets done around, right? Because first he is like,
no, I'm not gonna actually wish for whatever Arinzu asked me to wish for, which I don't think we
learned. Like is he supposed to just wish her to become a demon king or what? I think that was the
intent. Yeah, but I mean, it was fairly obvious that that a gloria returns back on Arinzu because,
you know, he hung out with Goku and company for so long. Got to know them in spite of Goku not
being able to say his name, right? You know, there was obviously an attachment there. So he's like,
well, I can't, I can't do this. So when he made his wish, he was like, yeah, all right, that was the
logical conclusion. Absolutely. Because as far as the show introduces him to us and we, the stuff we
learn about him, he has been a loner pretty much all his life. Like, and we later learned that Arinzu is
the one who kind of direct him out of the third demon world and gave him, you know, somewhat of a life,
which is why he is like for the most parts, like we hold into her and feels like he has a duty to
fulfill her wishes. But also then he meets these new characters who become not his superiors or his
employers, but actually his friends and his companions. And that's something he probably has known
before this adventure. So it makes sense that he quickly gets much more attached to them than to his
duty. So, yeah, he's turned around at the end made absolute sense. And yet, like I said, it was kind
of predictable that it would happen, but it didn't feel like, oh, yeah, why did they stretch it out so
long? No, no, it comes in at the perfect time. He's the one who makes the wish to turn them back into
adults. He's then the final edge. He is not the one who beats Goma, but he becomes a minister
under, undercute. That's fine. And I, like I said, I'm really happy that he's the one who does it
because because I just didn't know where the show went to go with this character. I love that he
was just a part of the brothers like, but okay, I guess that's all he is. And no, that's not all he is.
He was the hidden, hidden, giant, diamond in the rough all along. And even a margin is created can
become like really cool, but I mean, boom, also has become a good person at this point. So, yeah, but
you know, this is a different level and interesting and and I liked it. And yeah, I thought this show
was super, super, super, super fun. Just fucking quick and breezy 20 episodes, a lot of fun vistas,
a lot of cool characters, a lot of interesting stuff to do. Some really cool fights like the fight
against the Tamagami is pretty cool. And of course, the fight against Goma is fucking insane, especially
when as soon as Goku goes literally, ape shit because that's when the animators do the same. So, yeah,
it's really fun like it's it's a blast. It's not super deeper, everything. It's a very fun,
light little adventure show. And that's what you should expect going into this. You shouldn't expect
dramatic world ending universe shattering tournaments like in Dragon Ball Super, you shouldn't expect
invaders from outer space that will destroy the whole world of Goku doesn't beat him. Nothing like that
in this show. It's just a goofy set of villains who are out to become the kings of the different world.
And then everyone gets turned into fucking babies and they have to they have to tiny tunes this
shit and go and get get some Dragon Balls and have some fights and have some laughs and have some
food, some demorworld food and yeah, where some where some different clothes. And yeah, it's it's just
fun. It's a fun little show. And if you're not too shamed to your I don't know Dragon Ball Zeno
Stalgia because if you didn't watch the original Dragon Ball and you were more changed to the characters
themselves and maybe just some fun anime time. I think you will enjoy this. The question is
when do we go from here? Like John, what do you expect is next for Dragon Ball? Like
we're gonna get the rest of the Super manga? Are we gonna get a new movie? What do you think is
on the rise and a side-farm? I mean like I said, a lot of the voice cast is still alive so as long as
that is the case as long as the voice actors for Goku is still alive, I don't think we get
we'll get a remake of the original show. I doubt it. Yeah, I'm not sure about that but you said that
I think you're right. I mean I could be wrong. Like I could be cast her anyway and then give first
maybe some bit roles in the remake or whatever. She might just retire. That is also allowed. So
we'll see but it's like Chris Pratt got cast as Super Mario and Charles Martin A was still somewhere
in the movie so you know. So I think he places dead. Yeah so I still not watched the Super Mario.
Oh, it's a really good. Like you should. It's a really fun time. They really took good
time with it. It's on the list because I did eventually watch Sonic 1, Sonic 2 and Knuckles so.
Yes, I still need to watch Knuckles and still need to watch Sonic 3 so. I will be getting my copy of
Sonic 3 sometime next week because I missed it in theaters. I heard it's the best one of the three so.
That's good to hear that before. But yes. Back to the subject at hand. I really do wonder what that
is. I feel like everyone has been begging for more of Super. Yes, me included. Like to stop, I read
the tangentially about the rest of the Dragon Ball Super manga sounded pretty damn cool so.
So that that would be cool. I mean I'm sure they could find some way to put another movie in there
at some point. It's hard to say because it could be any number of things you know. But I just hope
whatever it is. You know it has the amount of care that this is because you know I even though
Dima has some parts that are kind of well the pacing isn't 100% there. There's some weird
choice. There's a couple of weird choices along the way. Overall I think Dima is really really good.
Yes. So I mean I think even though there were those weird choices it was all in the service of
making just this fun breezy adventure. Like we say you know I'm glad it was only 20 episodes.
She don't need another two to 300 episodes shown in an anime marathon that takes five,
six years to watch through. Yes, I was so glad this was a two-season technically thing and then we
were done and it was just a fun little adventure and we had giant hamsters and uh. So who knows maybe
they could even do a spin off or a side story within the demon realm. That could be they could
explore some other stuff in there because the floor knows they had it in a floor to be like oh well we
could obviously expand on to the day at coup and doose court. I wouldn't mind that.
Let's go. Just have a little fucking little demon palace sitcom with with the weird goofy
fucking jendamari forest guys and those guys and them trying to figure out finances for the
for the demon realm kingdom or whatever. I'm on board. Let's just do that shit.
Uh. We're at another side story. Well I guess they don't use side story because we find
we find out at the very end that oh yeah I sold this demon eye to someone like thousands of
years ago and then you know just started to disappear but I've got two more of them right here
and everyone's like yeah I don't think anything would come off that because maybe they would
buy it and squash them immediately which would which would be the sensible thing to do. I feel like
that's the implications. Yes. I'll probably happen to have camera. Yeah but yeah it's still funny
it's like oh it's it showed us a lot of I wouldn't call them they as ex-marking us but we like well
that just ended up here right especially how the demon eye comes to the third eye comes to the
possession of go wise like okay all right. Hi missus Verna and I just felt the whole time. Oh my god
so I was watching Nick and Scott you know of course the team four started reviewing this as they
went along you know watching the reviews after I watched the episode and Scott called the third eye
thing so far in advance I was like you know what Scott that's plausible and then it happened and he
popped off so hard he's like oh yes I mean I would have done the same like not predicted it but like
brought off super like I told you that's yeah that's really good and I mean they foreshadow it right
like Goma pretty early says like man instead of wishing him to be kids I should have really wished
for the third eye and stand on what is he talking about again and I think they introduced it even
earlier him talking about it and then you know you see hi miss and he has a weird eye on his and I
wasn't thinking about it at all I wasn't remembering that and only when Goma brings it up again I'm
sorry at some point like wait a minute and then pretty quickly after that immediately after that
they Goma recognizes that it's on the belt of of hi missus or whatever and it's like oh fuck oh
shit I need this any sense this this one girl or has digger's center and hi miss gets a nice head
out of it I guess so there's that he hate big boy you're not gonna be no I want your hat
that you'll treat the half of the eye yeah the man knows his priorities and I'm just saying you're like
let the man have a fancy floppy hat it is and it saves dendor at some and what one at one point
because low your throws is in diggers diggers is face and he let's go off the gun and whatever and
pansy can save dendors so there's that it was it had it's a reason to be there and we should be glad
that hi miss traded in I guess but yeah uh yeah I also don't know what what would be next I would
love to have a continuation of super because apparently there's still cool stuff to tell from the manga
sure new movie wouldn't mind I would love for a new movie to for them as much as I enjoyed super
hero I wouldn't I would really love for the next movie if they do want to be traditionally animated
again I would definitely prefer that on maybe on the quality of broly because that movie
looked fucking insane that also had cp but you know the important parts were something else um so and also
that's a thing that maybe needs to be picked up again right because broly is out there and yeah maybe
you want to like do next year's and maybe have been be part of that of course he's like the super
overpowered factor that you can't throw just loosey woozy in there because he's just he's gonna
shake the pillars of heaven but uh you know it's just interesting knowing okay he's now in
officially in this universe and you could do something with that maybe at some point I don't know if
he's in the super manga but yeah I'm not sure about but the super manga also has one or two new
interesting villains that could that would be interesting to see animated so just that's probably
the thing I want the most I just want more super uh but also I would take a remake of Dragon Ball
it probably won't like replace for the old series for me in terms of nostalgia and in terms of just
enjoying that and being the first thing I technically I fully saw of Dragon Ball but I would like to
see what they do with that at least with current animation budget and everything although people
just go back to the old Dragon Ball show you will be surprised how well animated certain parts of it
is not in the first season like that's still very basic very basic because you know this
technically started as a gag manga it only got really actually heavy later on like it would say
the animation picks up a lot with the second tournament and especially you know with the third
then where Goku has already grown up a bit in these teenage years then things start really to pop
off and everything and defied against pick a king picker and so on but that that some of that animation
really holds up and looks really really good and creative and so on so uh yeah original Dragon Ball
man it's of course there's some parts that are really fillery and take too long and so on because
it's just how anyway we're back then but there's so much worthwhile stuff in there to revisit and
towards so I recommend all of you doing that but yeah we'll see what we see what we'll get next out
of Dragon Ball I hope whatever it is it won't be half-esque like you said I hope it won't be another GT
I hope it will be another super at least if not another dima or you know something like that we
kind of got the GT out of the way with this and we did it a lot better so yes and I mean they could
still pick some story threads up from GT and trying to we introduce them and maybe repackage them
a different way tell them in a better way the baby storyline wasn't bad in itself like it was told
weirdly and that pacing issues but the idea itself what baby is and where it came from and so on
with the you know that that there was pretty cool in itself at a nice tie to uh to uh the sad say
in race and so on and planned for jita and so on and the lore of that that we learned about in
Dragon Ball Z I didn't mind the idea behind it it's just some of the parts just in GT they were not
well animated they dragged on too long and I didn't even get to the Shen Shen batch evil Shen long
saga so I don't know what that was but but some parts of GT just in concept were solid they were
just not executed well so you could pick that up again and try to implement that in a new show
and tell it in a better way the problem is now that Torreyama is not around anymore I don't know
how many people they have that can actually do that and we'll see because he has had a hand
in all recent Dragon Ball project yes had a hand in every movie since a battle of the gods he
has had an hand in every series since uh well in every series in general as after GT because he
wasn't involved in that so in super in dima and well I guess not in fucking heroes because that
was just that we're tying to the arcade game but you know in the canon ones uh and like I said in
the movies in a battle of the gods in resurrection f in broly he was involved in all of them and it
chose and yeah I wonder what will happen to drink well now that that's not the case anymore and I
hope it will not suffer in terms of quality I believe that tolyotaro was is Torreyama's chosen
successor and he you know he was doing a whole lot of work on the super manga and people
seem to really enjoy it so I think it's probably in good hands if he continues to helmet
let's hope he if we get another series he will be also an influence on that and can have a
leading creative role there hmm all right uh don't where can people watch Dragon Ball Dima
you can watch Dragon Ball Dima on crunchy roll you can watch it on hulu you can watch it on Netflix
well then yes please do that uh I think we said it free we see or if not on the podcast we had said
you know amongst each other and with our friends that when they revealed the premise for this
that oh no it's gonna be GT2 but now after having sat here and watched through all of it
yeah actually but in the best way possible so I'm glad to have watched through this and I'm glad to
have been proven wrong so yeah big same
