00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:32,040
Welcome to a new episode of Anime Briefries. We are your Motion Picture Podcast hosts.

3
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:33,360
I am Jon.

4
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:37,520
And I'm C.C. And when there's just too much cool anime to watch, we've got you covered.

5
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:42,440
Today we will jump from the small to the big screen by doing a bit of a movie marathon,

6
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:47,160
which will culminate in our review of the ostensible film finale to the Gritman reboot,

7
00:00:47,160 --> 00:00:48,760
Gritman Universe.

8
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:53,400
Of course, we will present you with our picks for Best Anime of the Season.

9
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:58,040
Before all of that, there is still a bit of leftover TV stuff to get out of the way in the

10
00:00:58,040 --> 00:00:59,720
quick and the dead.

11
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:04,160
Grab your popcorn and movie tickets, please turn off your phones and don't you dare sing along

12
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:08,280
to the song lyrics in the theater because we will smite your ass!

13
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,800
And definitely don't pause the part, we'll be right back.

14
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:19,800
[Music]

15
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:29,160
So yeah, quick and the dead. Got one technical review here for myself that Jon didn't watch.

16
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:34,040
I don't know how quick this will turn out to be because I wrote down actually more than

17
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,000
a tentative, which is the seventh season of my hero academia.

18
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,760
I did a full review for Season 6 technically.

19
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:47,400
I tried to keep this one a bit shorter maybe because this is basically a big old battle royale

20
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,400
from most of its runtime.

21
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:54,600
So yeah, what's happening with the students of A1?

22
00:01:54,600 --> 00:02:02,120
Yeah, this is basically the beginning of this is gearing up for the finale.

23
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:07,800
Things Season 6 already put every little piece into play for that.

24
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,200
And now we're getting there.

25
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:14,280
Like we get like four memories recap episodes at the beginning.

26
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:19,880
They are not really necessary since my hero academia never takes super long breaks between seasons

27
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:28,280
and most of what happens is was still in my head at that point and I guess if one watched all seasons

28
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:33,480
you don't need to watch this, but they are part of the season they count I guess.

29
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:39,400
So whatever. And after that we get like the big opener where

30
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:47,160
Star and Stripe America's strongest hero and all my pupil writes in on her fleet of stealth bombers

31
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,640
as you who do as an American hero.

32
00:02:49,640 --> 00:02:51,880
That's a lot already.

33
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:59,000
Yeah, she uses those as a support and to move around in the air because she can't fly

34
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,560
but she can use them as basically footholds.

35
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,880
And she clashes with Shigaraki because all four ones wants to steal her power,

36
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,080
which is her ability to apply new rules to everything she touches.

37
00:03:09,640 --> 00:03:13,160
I briefly touched upon all of this in the sneak peak for season seven

38
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,960
or when I talked about that in our sneak peak.

39
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,960
But yeah, that battle is over.

40
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:23,960
That battle ends by Shigaraki actually winning and getting her power and everything.

41
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:31,000
She actually lets Shigaraki steal her quirk and take care of her body but it's like

42
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:38,920
imposing using that open opportunity to impose a new final order on this quirk.

43
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:44,680
Which is to oppose all other quirk so as soon as Shigaraki has fully absorbed new order into

44
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,760
his body it starts to destroy every single other quirk Shigaraki inherited from all four one

45
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,680
as his new host body.

46
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:55,560
So that was a bold move for first and she pays for that with her life but you know it

47
00:03:55,560 --> 00:04:02,600
buys the heroes some time to come up with some plans before Shigaraki has reached full power

48
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:03,240
and everything.

49
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:04,360
So it was worth for that.

50
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:13,160
And yeah, Alpha one keeps calling Shigaraki the other me which emphasizes that

51
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:17,800
he's only seeing him as a tool and an extension of his own will which was one could guess

52
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:22,920
the way Alpha one had behaved from the get go like he's the master manipulator.

53
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,440
He's just using everyone to further his own goal and whatever.

54
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:34,040
So Shigaraki is that for him he wants just to be immortal I guess and

55
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:40,120
needs a new body for that to keep on doing what he does and Shigaraki is the chosen one he has

56
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:46,760
groomed him from being a kid for being that manipulated his life to become shitter and shitter so

57
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,200
that he would be susceptible to Alpha one's manipulations.

58
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:58,760
It seems this is maybe paying off for now or right now because it seems like Shigaraki is playing

59
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,160
into everything that Alpha one set up.

60
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:05,320
It seems like this but there are some wrinkles to that during the course of the season.

61
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:09,080
We see Shigaraki actually maybe trying to break free from that.

62
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:14,200
It will be successful we will see but that's definitely something that's running through the season.

63
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:21,240
So one of the big things and one of the big surprises and I'm gonna say again just with all my

64
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:25,800
reviews for this because it's a continued season full spoiler right this is coming

65
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,840
everything that's happening in the later parts of the season I'm gonna spoil the shit out of that

66
00:05:30,840 --> 00:05:36,360
but there are some interesting things that are happening in the season besides the big

67
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,600
all we're gonna have our final battle thing.

68
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:44,440
It was teased before that since the villains of information they shouldn't have

69
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:50,840
there must be a traitor in UA since you've at least watched until season five John any guesses who

70
00:05:50,840 --> 00:05:56,680
that traitor is. It's an unlikely candidate let's say that much.

71
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,480
A likely and unlikely.

72
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:09,640
Well I mean I was sort of suspicious of Hawks for a second there but you mean of like the students.

73
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:13,000
Yes of the students I can say that much before I give it away.

74
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,520
God there were so many students I'm having trouble remembering all of them.

75
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:21,480
It's from a person from A1 it's not one of the B team students.

76
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,840
You know how little that narrows it down in my own brain?

77
00:06:24,840 --> 00:06:27,960
I don't know.

78
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,160
Okay so I'm sure after you tell me I'll be like oh of course.

79
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,720
It's Belly Laser Guy, Yuga Ayoyama.

80
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,320
Oh him.

81
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:36,440
He's the mole.

82
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:41,160
He always seemed to be a good kid like you know I wouldn't not have expected.

83
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:46,840
Demi's goofy is a bit weird but we.

84
00:06:46,840 --> 00:06:49,480
Out of all of them but yes he just seems harmless.

85
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,680
He just seems a bit weird but harmless and we know why he's so weird.

86
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:59,480
There's a moment with between him and Deku in the fifth or six seasons where they go a bit into that

87
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:05,480
and we see like there's a connection at least the one-sided one and there's a reason why

88
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:09,800
Ayoyama wants to become a hero and Deku is kind of like the personification of what he's

89
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,480
trying to be in everything so this is a moment where Deku is like

90
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:18,360
questioning himself and Ayoyama is one of the people who gives him like a new drive and everything

91
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:24,360
so that was nice and that further removed him from my suspicions but it turns out

92
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:29,880
Ayoyama was also born quirkless just like Deku and because his parents were afraid that he would

93
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:34,360
be ostracized by society because of it because the way he was cited works in this show right if you

94
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:35,800
don't have a quirk you're nothing kind of.

95
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,760
This is what Deku experience anyway.

96
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:43,720
They went to all four one and asked him to give Ayoyama a quirk.

97
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,520
Bad idea.

98
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,600
Yeah no kidding.

99
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,120
I'm talking about making you deal with the devil.

100
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:54,120
Yeah which explains why Ayoyama was so attached to Deku in previous seasons.

101
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:59,000
Like he wants Deku to succeed and wants to support him probably because he feels guilty of the way

102
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:03,960
he received his quirk and wants to turn his fate around by following someone's example who

103
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:10,440
just like him was dealt a bad hand at birth and of course this further fenced the flame of the

104
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:17,400
discussion about hero idealization and the damage that is done by valuing quirks and conformity

105
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:18,840
to highly in this society.

106
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:23,560
You can easily make some connections to our real life and certain groups of people being

107
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:30,440
ostracized were not confirming to the widely accepted models and of society and character traits

108
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:32,120
chosen by society as the norm.

109
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:38,200
I don't know if Horikoshi intended to tackle this discussion with this and some other plot points

110
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:42,920
or if it's just evolved naturally from his story beats but neither of the two would surprise me

111
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:43,720
actually at this point.

112
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:44,920
So that was pretty cool.

113
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:51,480
Also the last season especially has shown that Horikoshi is really adept at setting up good long-term

114
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,800
payoffs very early in the story.

115
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:55,400
Here's is another example of that.

116
00:08:55,400 --> 00:09:01,240
It also fits very well with one of the show's other main themes, parental figures

117
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,320
and the many different ways how they can support and fuck up their kids.

118
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:12,760
Like I almost parents thought they were doing the best for their son by making him conform to

119
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:17,720
societal norms but in the long run that's severely backfired.

120
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:23,720
Now all for one threatens to kill I almost parents if all Yama doesn't do his bidding.

121
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:28,760
And you know he had to lie to the group of people he wanted to be part of the most his

122
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:35,640
classmates so ironically by making him more like everyone else his parents doomed him to isolation

123
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,160
and despair because of it.

124
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:43,560
One thing they wanted to protect him from they brought upon him themselves.

125
00:09:43,560 --> 00:09:47,720
This is a really good twist and payoff.

126
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:53,400
Sadly it wasn't handled as well by the adaption as it could have been.

127
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:59,320
The reveal of I am being all for one small should have definitely been what the fuck end of the episode

128
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:03,960
cliffhanger at the end of episode two or three of the season and said they put it at the halfway point

129
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:09,880
of episode three which in my opinion lessen the lessen the reveal's impact quite a bit.

130
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:15,960
Like that would have been a real what the fuck you know good ending for for that episode is like

131
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:22,760
what that guy I never would have believed it so but also again in hindsight it kind of makes sense

132
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,680
and how they fill in the blanks and everything and the way he was behaving before it all fits into

133
00:10:26,680 --> 00:10:32,920
his character so it's great. And of course since he is a good kid technically you feel really really

134
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:39,240
sad for him it's heartbreaking seeing I am calling himself a villain in this moment because you know he

135
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,360
is a good guy and just wants to be with his friends does all he ever wanted.

136
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:48,680
So yeah and of course our main boy because he is the best boy they could recognize this and

137
00:10:48,680 --> 00:10:53,640
reaches out to Ayama to tell him that doing one criminal act doesn't make you a villain for life

138
00:10:53,640 --> 00:11:00,920
and that he can still be a hero using Ayama as an informant would indeed give them an advantage

139
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:07,880
over all for one for the first time because so far all for one has been always feeling a step ahead

140
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:14,520
but this turning Ayama would be something he probably didn't see coming so that's what they want to

141
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:20,760
do but the question is does Ayama need to do this to deserve to be forgiven in my opinion on the

142
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:26,520
surface this is fun like an uplifting turn of events and makes you think that Horikoshi believes

143
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:34,200
in reformation but only if quit pro quo is involved. I don't know how I feel about that actually

144
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:42,520
we'll see what comes off that plot point because like they beyond this point they haven't really

145
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:48,520
done anything with that instead of using our Ayama for the setup and everything but everyone just

146
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:54,360
holding judgment over him pointing at him in a room where he and his parents are chained to chairs

147
00:11:54,360 --> 00:12:00,120
not looking at the wider context of big picture I don't know that felt easy to me but again also

148
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:08,840
pretty close to real life probably so yeah so eyes our eraser head comes up with a plan for Ayama

149
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:13,720
and the others they will try to separate all the important villains from each other and have that

150
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:21,400
big battle but all in different parts of the town/country and that was really the point where it felt

151
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:25,720
like okay the finale is approaching we have the stage this is where we're going with this this is

152
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:30,520
what we're going to do with this this is going to be a fun big ol' battle royale with different

153
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:36,360
parties fighting against each other not all at the same space but you know in different parts with

154
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:41,800
different character constellation everything on the bets a guy's side of things there's also some

155
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:46,520
stuff happening spinner is willingly willingly instrumentalized by all for one as a spokesperson

156
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:51,720
for the hitter or more for writers you know the heroes who look like animals or I don't know mutants

157
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:59,560
or whatever and those the writers see him as the savior from society's bigger tree which I

158
00:12:59,560 --> 00:13:04,440
guess also plays a bit into the Ayama Ayama quirkless stuff and everything so this is one of the big

159
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:10,360
underlying themes in the season that Horikoshi seems to have been really putting a forward to

160
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:17,080
focus on at this point and yeah recap episodes aside once the season actually starts it sure

161
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:23,400
and wasting any time sometimes towards on death dredger man just like the second half of season two

162
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:28,600
like the final battle royale between heroes and villains already begins in the fifth episode of

163
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:36,200
this and then we have different split ups like with the help of shinsos and monomas of all people you

164
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:41,480
know the arrogant guy who was always like that the students from a one I'm the best you suck ass

165
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:50,040
but he can copy abilities and they so he copies a razor's heads abilities among other things some

166
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:54,920
and the heroes managed to lure all for one into a trap by making him believe Ayama is delivering

167
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:59,880
Deku to him then splitting up all the villains and heroes and sending them to separate locations like

168
00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:08,280
I said with the teleportation technique monomastole from kuru kuru giri and yeah it's cool at first I was

169
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:13,400
worried we'd have the like the big free for all in a god damn parking lot because that's where it

170
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:19,400
starts is where the meeting happens between all four one and you know Ayama and who's bringing Deku

171
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:24,120
along but it was just the setup stage and then everyone gets sent to places who are varied enough

172
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:32,600
like there's a forest and then there's this big hovering closed off by energy barriers part of the

173
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:38,920
school where they try to trap shigaraki and then have a bunch of them fight it and Deku was supposed

174
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:48,680
to be there as well the problem is toga our favorite yandere has other plans and pulls Deku into

175
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:54,040
her location warp so he and ujaku have to team up first and he can't be in the fight against shigaraki

176
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:59,080
which is a big problem because he's the powerhouse and shigaraki is the strongest villain so the others

177
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:04,120
have to make duo while they wait for Deku to get back to them and this is you know where they

178
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:08,840
introduce like this ticking clock thing is like holy shit shigaraki is only getting stronger and

179
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:16,040
we're just we're just trying to fight windmills here and ridiculous but yeah that also of course

180
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:21,560
means that we get all the encounters that have been set up for a while and devours is all for on

181
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:28,040
showtovers is dabi slash toya ojaku was is toga and bakugou and deku eventually and a bunch of other

182
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:33,080
strong heroes in the handicap match versus shigaraki at least like i said that was the plan but

183
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:40,840
we have toga doing our own thing at least for a bit there and yeah shigaraki completely over

184
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:46,120
at this point is going for some real body horror shit with all of them hands which is especially

185
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:51,000
while since hori koshi has stated in the past that he is bad at drawing hands so he pushes himself

186
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:56,840
to draw them more often so he gets better at it so of course shigaraki now just attacks with a cluster

187
00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:04,280
of five million hands all together he looks like tetsu from akira like in terms of body horror just

188
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:11,960
at some point becomes this weird mass of just hands and fingers and it looks gross and it's just

189
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:20,120
hand cancer it's just it's ridiculous you just to fina those giant hand enemies in

190
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:29,000
elden ring maybe he acted could yeah oh probably probably drew some of those but yeah um we have

191
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:34,680
that we also let that dabi slash toya i'm supposed to name him at this point i guess dabi since he's

192
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:41,400
still being a villain i was supposed to be cultivated into a fallback in k shigaraki didn't pen out

193
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:49,000
but he was too maniacal to control even for all four one which uff okay job well done and ever the

194
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:56,440
sun that you did not raise there so yeah it's interesting to learn that and this one of the first

195
00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:04,520
big battles really we get we have shoto against toya against his brother it's not really a highlight

196
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:10,200
on a choreography or animation level at this point because it's basically then just shouting at each

197
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:17,480
other more than anything else so the actual fight kind of sucks but it's alright in terms of story telling

198
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:24,920
and a decent preemptive wrap up though we get the second stage to that for that um to this particular

199
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:32,920
story at this point i was like it feels like this should have been a two on one with both shoto and

200
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:39,080
endeavor doing their part to bring toya back and i understand that shoto is one of our main heroes

201
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:44,200
and it's the thematic mirror piece to toya but they barely had really any on screen interaction

202
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:49,640
until now so it feels more thematically scripted than an actual natural conclusion from a character arc

203
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:55,160
standpoint i kind of stinks it would make sense to do that exactly and i was thinking that because

204
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:59,480
it's like wait you we're just gonna have them square up you know at least endeavor should be part of it

205
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:03,800
in my opinion the whole that was a mission statement and you have to have the last season when

206
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:09,960
it was revealed that toya is dobi i was like okay should be getting the whole family in there

207
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:16,040
right we we're gonna have the feminine like a fight or family therapy mask as a fight

208
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:21,160
and then everyone against you know trying to get toya back and everything and orikoshi seems to be

209
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:26,920
aware of that at that point already because shoto literally says when he delivers the final blow

210
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:33,880
our past will cross even if it's forced which is way to comment on your own writing orikoshi

211
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:42,680
yeah that's no i don't know i don't know if if that is sim acknowledging the shortcoming of storytelling

212
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:49,080
or if it's accidental but either way i feel like does that make it better or worse

213
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:57,800
but yeah so it eventually thankfully endeavor also joins the fight and we get a good

214
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:05,720
aftermath after that with endeavor and hawks facing all for one who of course uses toya to trigger

215
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:13,000
endeavor and almost takes him out but it makes endeavor acknowledge once again that he's pretty

216
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:18,280
much solely responsible for abandoning his son in the worst way possible even if all for one did

217
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:24,120
some of his usual manipulation to make things worse your responsibility for it getting this far still

218
00:19:24,120 --> 00:19:28,680
rests on endeavours shoulders alone so i'm always happy when the short acknowledge is that because

219
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:32,440
in the beginning i was like is he actually going to take responsibility is he actually going to be

220
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:42,280
like well i'm just man will do what man do no he's just howikoshi knows that he is was a the

221
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:48,760
shittys that and he's gonna make him suffer for that again and again and again until he finds

222
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:54,280
a way to kind of redeem himself for what he did to his son so i always appreciated that

223
00:19:54,280 --> 00:20:00,280
we have jirou and sukojomi appearing in the fight against all for one but they're in over their

224
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:09,320
heads and let me tell you just in general the fast two seasons have proven that hawkoshi is not

225
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:16,200
afraid of permanently damaging his heroes none of them right he's not afraid of like like he rips

226
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:24,040
one of uh jirou's ears off technically like she's forgot what a hero named where she's to go with

227
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:29,640
with the sound powers and everything and she has like these these plugs hanging from her ears kind of

228
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:35,080
where her ears looks like like like plugs and one of them just gets torn off in the fight it's like whoa

229
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:44,520
okay so we have mirko the the bunny hero that was introduced earlier just she already lost like a

230
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:50,200
leg in season six and now she's losing an arm and i think the other leg it's crazy like this can

231
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:56,600
it gets really bloody important that i did not see coming and yeah that fight is in itself cool i feel

232
00:20:56,600 --> 00:21:04,280
like the first half of this season animation wise is kind of not the best my hero academia has been

233
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:11,160
but they set up enough interesting story beads and uh character moments to compensate for that

234
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:16,760
and the animation picks up in the second half so maybe in the first half the uh teams from ball team

235
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:22,200
from bones was was uh still engaged with one of the my hero academia movies or something like that

236
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:26,440
so that would make sense because like i said it picks up in the second half and then the battles get

237
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:31,960
really fun look really good so that's nice it's better than if it was the other way around so

238
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:37,240
but yeah we get this even though it's not super well animated at this point the fight against

239
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:43,400
awful one is fun we have endeavour finally deciding to not fight for becoming the new ideal hero

240
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:49,720
but for the next generation and that puts a need bow on his character arc in my opinion already

241
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:54,920
like he could never have truly replaced all might or even daco because he was too

242
00:21:54,920 --> 00:22:01,720
ashamed to alive of misguided ambition inferiority complexes and self hatred and the choices that

243
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:07,880
result from that with a little help of from awful one of course led to him losing his family and a lot

244
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:14,760
of people losing their lives and i think at this point he realizes and knows that he can't overcome

245
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:21,320
this mental burden in his own lifetime and the only way to make up for his past since is by securing

246
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:25,960
a future for the next generation that might be able to do better and this is definitely one of the best

247
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:31,000
character arcs in the show in my opinion which i which i did not see coming i think none of us were

248
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:37,400
fans of endeavour in the beginning and i'm still not a fan but i think like his arc and his struggle

249
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:42,360
through the entirety of this shows probably some of the best realized stuff writing wise that

250
00:22:42,360 --> 00:22:49,560
Horikoshi has to offer in his story like to make a already unsympathetic character even more unsympathetic

251
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:55,560
once you learn his character background and then actually being able to turn some of that around

252
00:22:56,360 --> 00:23:03,320
somewhat sympathizing with the decisions he makes down the road and redeeming him in some aspects

253
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:10,120
in a believable way and not gifting that to him right he's not like he's just his family came to him

254
00:23:10,120 --> 00:23:14,840
and says like out of nowhere hey you're forgiven everything is fine which we've seen a bunch of other

255
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:20,600
shows and everything be the bigger man and whatever uh no no he has to fight for that he has to

256
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:25,400
suffer for that and he's still he will at the end of the show he will not be completely there because

257
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:30,360
he has lost so much and he's responsible for all of that but he has made the right decision of being

258
00:23:30,360 --> 00:23:36,520
like no not my place to be this idol anymore because i can't be that because i'm such i'm so much

259
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:42,440
baggage and that baggage has already damned so many people in my life so i'm gonna do everything to

260
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:48,760
make things better and lift up the new next generation lift up show to lift up a day cool lift up

261
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:54,520
whoever is there from the current students and make them actually succeed and become the new light

262
00:23:54,520 --> 00:24:00,280
for the society instead of me being that and that's great that's that's good that's good writing in

263
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:07,000
my opinion and i like that and what i also like was bakugo calling shigaraki a nutsack faced handy man

264
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:16,200
is absolutely what i wanted from that confrontation that's that's that's pretty good that's pretty good

265
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:21,880
yeah and what's also pretty good is yuki hiashi uh in this season uh with his core is devly

266
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:27,880
taking that soundtrack to another level like epic endgame feel gotta say just some moments that we

267
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:32,920
some some cues and some uh melodies we didn't have in the previous season some are brought back but in

268
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:42,840
the more like epic end game epic and fight kind of um mix so it's really cool we have the big threes

269
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:48,360
a sand pie characters coming back like lamellian and the other two um and lamellian is the first one

270
00:24:48,360 --> 00:24:55,080
to make a dent in shigaraki's psychological armor by bringing up that he probably didn't have any

271
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:59,320
friends or he wouldn't be helping to destroy everything because you have a friend you know

272
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:05,240
you just don't do that or you shouldn't be uh doing that because you know there are people

273
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:09,960
who have things that matter to them that might be not the same thing that matters to you and everything

274
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:17,640
so and then the little remaining splinter of the original shigaraki's like shimura consciousness

275
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:25,000
picks this up and protests loudly like a child like throwing a tantrum by bringing up two office

276
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:30,520
child or friends which catches like both tomuras and all four ones overriding consciousness of

277
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:36,440
guards like what the hell where did that come from uh although they regain control uh quickly

278
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:42,920
but yeah this is like okay he's still in there like the original person that was before they were

279
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:47,000
completely manipulated by all four one and this is what they could want it this is this was his

280
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:51,960
mission statement in the previous season like as long as i see a chance of getting him back

281
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:58,360
i will not kill him i will try to pull him out of that they're out of that misery and out of

282
00:25:58,360 --> 00:26:05,560
all four ones control so we see this is the moment where we see okay he's still in there uh tomuras

283
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:10,200
still there and the heroes need to take every small victory they can get because otherwise they

284
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:14,760
are completely outmatched by shigaraki he's probably on the level of golden age all might right now

285
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:21,640
so even when the heroes get some big hits and he just shrugs them off kinder and he

286
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:29,480
it looks at one point like he kills off bakugo which is that was an effective cliffhanger

287
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:36,200
and he's a big all fucking hole in his chest and it's ridiculous and you're like holy fucking shit did

288
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:43,640
i kill one of the of one of the main characters and of course there's still some yeah it's very

289
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:50,360
dire but also edge shot just gets in there and tries to repair his heart by turning into a string

290
00:26:50,360 --> 00:26:55,960
on whatever and uh best genius is also trying his best so that's still happening while the fight

291
00:26:55,960 --> 00:27:00,440
is happening and he's not fully dead yet and i assume they're gonna bring him they're gonna revive

292
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:07,320
him in the next season i don't think that that is gonna state his way and we have some nice back-and-forth

293
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:11,160
moments in general in this match like there's some moments where you think oh they got an upper hand

294
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:16,520
on shigaraki like with the moment where's uh original consciousness shines through but then he goes

295
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:24,440
and fucking blows a hole into bakugo's chest and then we find out toya is still alive after all

296
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:32,920
after we thought shoto just completely obliterated his ass but no he did not and then all for one

297
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:39,960
after we think endeavour completely burned him up and he looks like a burnt up husk he has

298
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:50,280
last second ace up his sleeve and that is a capsule basically distilled from with fluid distilled from

299
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:57,000
aries power the girl from season four that our tier was rescued from what's named overload over

300
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:05,320
oh yeah uh that guy that guy remember that but i remember that you know that girl get

301
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:10,360
she has the power to reverse things to to turn basically turn back time she can heal wounds and

302
00:28:10,360 --> 00:28:17,160
stuff like that with that but what all my all for one is using it for he just completely reconstructs

303
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:24,360
and rejuvenates his body which sucks because you know one of the things that were like oh well he

304
00:28:24,360 --> 00:28:29,640
isn't that he's very dangerous and everything but at least he's severely damaged and if you get him

305
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:35,480
out of his suit and just destroy that he's just he's fucked and devor does that and then

306
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:42,680
forms like well no i still have this that bitch has had a mega elixir up his ass

307
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:49,080
and uh yeah the downside is while it rejuvenates him and restores his body it will keep

308
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:54,760
we vine we will wind him him until he sees us to exist like basically it will return him to i

309
00:28:54,760 --> 00:29:01,960
don't know sperm or an egg that's the idea anyway he's gonna just be he's he's gonna get Benjamin

310
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:06,840
buttoned right so he's gonna turn younger and younger and younger and younger until he sees us to

311
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:13,400
exist so he's very aware of that and intends to use the additional time to help shigaraki escape

312
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:18,280
the trap the hero set up and then you know because that's his new body and eventually he will

313
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:24,440
have transferred his consciousness fully to him and everything and hey we finally see that smug

314
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:30,440
ass face of his that has been teased for a while i mean his face was super burned right um destroyed

315
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:35,240
by all might and everything and he was basically just a mouth but now we see his original face

316
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:40,280
and that getting younger and younger which is weird and we have some

317
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:48,040
sites uh we have this other side bit where um spinners trying to get to kurugiri and free him so

318
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:54,680
kurugiri can teleport all the people to shigaraki to support him and everything and we have some

319
00:29:54,680 --> 00:30:03,400
of our other heroes trying to stop him like present mike and uh shougi so tentacle and there's a nice

320
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:09,800
character moment with shougi where he's like trying to stop the rioters and he's like hey we know

321
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:15,080
society has done you bear a dirty because you look different and they've ostracized you because of

322
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:20,280
that they've treated you badly they've done the same to me but i decided to take the high road and

323
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:27,480
become a hero instead so why not please try to be more like me right don't try to be super angry

324
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:31,320
and because this is not gonna do anything and you're gonna hurt people who don't have anything to

325
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:36,280
do with it like the people who are in this hospital we're also kurugiri resides and everything and

326
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:43,000
who want they want to get out i feel like that is nice in terms of a sentiment but

327
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:51,880
that those politics that this this moment apploys are a bit naive if if actual life hasn't has

328
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:59,080
taught us anything that's it's that but you know in a broad idealistic superhero story like this i

329
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:06,280
can tolerate it um the real problem is that like a lot in the season it feels somewhat rushed like

330
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:12,440
the ayama stuff like this um some of the stuff later on which considering how much the show was

331
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:18,920
dragging its feet for a half of season five this is surprising like i think uneven pacing is still my

332
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:24,680
hero academia's biggest flaw starting with season four on what i'd say season six almost got back to

333
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:31,080
form but now season seven is back to what the second half of season five was doing aka moving way too

334
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:37,560
quickly through what is you know what it's really good at the emotional character stuff and shows

335
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:41,960
this story deserved a full episode in my opinion because there's this nice thing where you know he was

336
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:48,600
fucked up by the villagers but he saved the girl and he's like hey i'm trying to remember just a

337
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:55,400
moment where that girl looked at me uh and was super grateful and was clutching my you know my weird

338
00:31:55,400 --> 00:32:01,400
hands and everything uh that look creepy to other people and she was just holding them tight because she

339
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:07,400
was so happy that he saved her it's a really good moment and you know he says that i'm trying to

340
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:12,520
remember remember that every time someone treats me like a monster or something like that so i would

341
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:19,880
like to see a full episode featuring that storyline like from him getting from the angry youngster

342
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:25,560
you know who was angry it just being treated like like a monster to clinging to that moment of him

343
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:30,680
saving the girl at deciding no this is what i want to be i want to be a person that gets looked at

344
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:34,200
like that constantly in the way i can do that is by becoming a hero and that's why i'm joining the

345
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:42,920
hero course of you know of the of the school so it was like okay really nice emotional beat in there

346
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:47,800
should have been a full episode and i don't know if it's longer in the manga might be that we that

347
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:54,680
there's a full backstory there um i doubt it but that would have been great and it feels like it

348
00:32:54,680 --> 00:33:00,840
feels just like it feels a bit rushed in this season so but it's good it i'm still happy that's

349
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:06,360
in there because it gives one i always like when they give the many characters in this show and

350
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:13,800
especially the students from a one or one a i don't even know what the proper description is here

351
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:23,720
but if they give them something to do and some interesting character beads because a lot of them

352
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:28,120
don't get that much you have the big we have always set the focus on shoto on

353
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:36,120
bakugo and on deku and that's nice too for some of them to to get a bit more there

354
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:46,520
and yeah we have dabi returning to the or dabi flying over to the all four one battle and

355
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:54,200
mixing things up there we have fog successfully dishing all four one hitting him where it hurts like

356
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:59,240
giving him uh i don't even remember exactly what it says but you know all four one doesn't really

357
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:04,440
show it but it definitely oh yeah he tells him all four one is like are you sure you want to

358
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:11,720
send your b team against me and hawks is like bitch uh you couldn't beat all might why would we send

359
00:34:11,720 --> 00:34:21,640
our best to be with you oh okay that's pretty good uh so it's it's it's fun uh so uh yeah and

360
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:27,080
you know that really you see that sticks here because like he gets a super sinister lowkey still so

361
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:35,000
angry about losing to all right so and then we're oh man then the fencer starts dude because we're

362
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:40,600
getting some real smash bros everyone is here amvages and game on your left moments the one that

363
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:47,160
got the biggest pop out of me was the return of gentle and la brava from season five who get a real

364
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:52,040
uh season four the second half of season four who get a real spotlight scene and man was that

365
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:57,480
satisfying our loved and little goofy heartfelt arc and season four with the concert and everything

366
00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:03,160
and there was like this nice breather in between the more serious stuff and i was overjoyed to see

367
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:09,400
them bursting onto the scene in a in a clutch situation as heroes and it was really cool and

368
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:13,880
after it gets even better after that because i get exactly what i wanted the whole to the rocky

369
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:20,360
family working together to stop the sunday failed on every conceivable level and bringing uh him back

370
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:25,000
from the brink of hell into the world of the living it's heartbreaking and beautiful and i loved every

371
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:32,280
second of it uh it's just like them going against him everyone using their ice powers um to trying to

372
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:37,880
restrain him uh show to then coming in at a clutch moment with ingenium like it's where you that's

373
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:42,360
where the animation is picking up because if you know anything about iida once the unleashes power

374
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:48,920
and goes super fast shit looks amazing and it does in this moment because they're basically at the other

375
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:55,400
side of the town or something like that and then like uh dabi is about to explode and take everything

376
00:35:55,400 --> 00:36:01,560
along with him in a five kilometer radius and then like we can't get there and ears like

377
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:09,880
hold my beer and he puts uh puts show to on his shoulders and gives him like his visor

378
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:14,040
thought he is so that he doesn't suffocate during the trip or whatever that he can still breathe

379
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:21,560
and then he just goes full tobo speed and they're just in there in a blink of a moment and it looks so

380
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:28,760
fucking good and he just the last and and shorter just runs the last couple of of meters and then

381
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:36,280
just unleashes a full on super ice attack and manages to free while the his entire family was already

382
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:42,440
holding back to abbey and they managed to free him and cool him down and he doesn't die and uh

383
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:51,080
we have this nice moment of endeavour breaking uh together over over his son's body and sobbing

384
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:56,360
and is apologizing and it's really good it's really fucking good like this is everything i wanted out

385
00:36:56,360 --> 00:37:03,320
of the storyline this is this is good stuff and uh i'm so happy that's that that's what we got because

386
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:07,240
at the beginning of the season it didn't look like it because we only had the square of between uh

387
00:37:07,240 --> 00:37:13,000
a show to end um that was like well we're gonna get nope really they really went there and they really

388
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:19,640
really did good shit we have a really a really nice spotlight episode uh with a fight between

389
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:26,200
Toga and Ocho with a great emotional climax there as well uh which first of all surprised me also

390
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:32,840
that they got an entire episode because i i have made no secret about my opinion of uh my hero

391
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:37,880
academia failing his female cast members constantly by not giving them the focus they deserve

392
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:43,720
but thankfully this was one of the episodes that at least gave me a glimpse at what would have

393
00:37:43,720 --> 00:37:48,840
been possible if the ladies got a bit more screen time like Ocho finally being able to reach out

394
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:54,840
and make Toga realize and verbalize that she really uh what she really wanted and that there's

395
00:37:54,840 --> 00:38:01,080
someone who will let her have that without her having to be a villain is nice more build up and focus

396
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:06,840
on that over the course of the series would have made it work much better but it was still a good effort

397
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:13,080
of doing something with their storyline and at the very end there we get a dark night returns rematch

398
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:18,360
between all might and all for one where all might switches from being Superman to being Batman

399
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:26,520
has like the big old bad mobile and get done the fucking bats a bad cyborg suit with a bunch of

400
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:32,600
different tools and toys match to the abilities of the of the students from from one a so it's

401
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:38,200
basically like one powerless all might fighting with the support of all of his students against his

402
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:46,520
archnemesis and it's fucking cool at cell and yeah uh or in kosher sure is a in a us coming book nerd

403
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:52,200
that's that's for certain because he's just he's just got that bad man at the moment he really is

404
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:58,920
and it's great and then we got a final season teaser like we have Dikus Granger of Edgigaraki at this point

405
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:04,840
trying to control heading to control his anger at beginning because he saw that Bakugus uh on the

406
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:10,200
brink of that managing to do that and realizing that he can probably still pull tumour out of there

407
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:18,040
and we have all might fighting and all for one and then the season is over and we get a pick

408
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:25,640
all cliffhanger and we get a teaser that next season will be the final season so that's where we end

409
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:33,320
here and that's where we're gonna pick up next and i don't know i i assume it's gonna hit they

410
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:38,520
gonna hit us with that either next summer or next fall depending on how much work they're gonna put

411
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:44,200
into that because it's definitely maybe even a bit longer i haven't checked the preview yet and i

412
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:50,120
don't know if they've announced a date for that yet but it's coming and then the show's gonna be over

413
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:58,680
so yeah i i was really happy with the last two seasons um maybe like season six even a bit more than

414
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:04,840
season seven in terms of it being more consistent but this definitely uh had a lot of

415
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:13,240
nice wrap ups and combinations of long build up stuff some need surprises um like big old cool

416
00:40:13,240 --> 00:40:18,760
shonen better royal and everything so there was enough in there was like oh my god this is this is

417
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:23,880
really cool took a bit to get going in the beginning and for the animation to get better but by the

418
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:29,880
end i was really really hyped and uh enjoyed every second of it so yeah looking forward to the final

419
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:38,840
season i don't i i hope it's gonna end in a really cool way and i have some um some ideas of what they

420
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:44,360
will do i mean most of that will probably it's probably straightforward they're gonna pull tomorow

421
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:51,560
from all four ones grasp and um uh make him you know change his ways i guess and all four one is just

422
00:40:51,560 --> 00:41:00,600
gonna run out of time and revert to like i said sperm or an egg and then just be dropped on the ground

423
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:06,760
i don't fucking know but something like that and um we'll see if there are more sacrifice along the way

424
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:13,720
because all might is not in the best shape even though he's doing his darnest and fighting like a madman

425
00:41:13,720 --> 00:41:21,160
in his badman suit and maybe heal die as well we'll see i hope they will be able to revive barco go

426
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:29,320
and yeah we'll see how this wraps up and i'm looking forward to it but that's it for my not so quick

427
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:35,640
review of seven of my rock anime because again i wrote down more than i expected john you have

428
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:43,400
uh something that you watched from beginning to end but that we're not gonna make a full review what

429
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:48,600
what is that gonna be i mean that a couple things by faith you know the thing really worth

430
00:41:48,600 --> 00:42:00,760
mentioning is a grandiser you yes um i don't have 30 minute long review to go into please don't

431
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:13,000
but you know i've not having watched the original grandiser i'm not sure how this compares to it

432
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:19,720
because this was like this is like a 12 episode thing where the original grandiser was apparently 74 episodes

433
00:42:19,720 --> 00:42:25,720
so i don't know just how compressed it is or what they removed or what they changed and i

434
00:42:25,720 --> 00:42:32,360
it's insane i don't think all of it is actually even translated i'm not sure i want to go back to an

435
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:39,960
old 1970s anime and rewatch that but i mean that changed the where the story is taking place right

436
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:46,680
they changed the local i'm in japan to the initial setting yeah but then the eventually do end up

437
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:52,600
going back to you know the cobb toe facility in japan and this and they sort of start to make it into

438
00:42:52,600 --> 00:43:05,560
more of a global story because when the vegans are like hey so every day you don't hand over Duke

439
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:13,560
fleet to us we're gonna destroy a different world capital and the basically new Washington DC at one

440
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:20,840
point i mean could couldn't i have waited until next year no sorry not much of value would have been

441
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:27,640
lost then i guess i mean aside from all the innocent people but if they only bumped the white house then

442
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:35,960
maybe they would have hit the right person i mean yeah yeah they sort of do that and like

443
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:40,840
everyone on earth is like well i guess we have to hand over Duke fleet

444
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:46,440
we're over and you know we kind of touched on this story before but it's like

445
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:56,760
Duke back on his home planet used granddyser to fend off some bad dudes but the power of granddyser

446
00:43:56,760 --> 00:44:05,320
is absolute and it kind of takes a hold of him and makes him out to be uh makes him out to be a bad guy

447
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:13,160
oh it's the word i'm looking for like a fugitive because he ends up dealing a lot more damage

448
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:23,320
than he intends and apparently he has killed uh his uh to be wife but not really jk law she ends up

449
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:29,640
joining up with the vegans and it's a lot of it is really on the nose because the vegistar shaped

450
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:35,640
like a giant wedding ring i mean it's an old serious technique i don't know if it was that over in

451
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:42,760
the old in the old version but i wouldn't be surprised yeah i was trying to look up and having

452
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:52,680
trouble digging it up but i'm looking at i'm like guys come on really that's like really on the nose

453
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:58,360
i mean that can be fun right like if you can laugh at it and if the show is maybe also poking

454
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:04,520
some fun at that and be like or being being like not painfully earnest but like super earnest about

455
00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:10,920
it in a fun way i don't know if that is the case for this one no think like it really straight

456
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:16,600
really straight i mean it can also be fun like i think it often works better when the show is play

457
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:22,840
it straight then if it's like mocking itself like i in certain parts i'm really sick of like uh show

458
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:28,520
constantly winking at the camera now let's play it straight play it earnest and act like you don't

459
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:35,160
know what you're putting on the screen like that can also work uh you know depending on how how the

460
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:42,520
story is set up but it seems like in this case it didn't i mean i i didn't dislike it i'll say that

461
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:47,960
there's no part of the story i was like god this sucks i want to stop watching but there are parts

462
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:58,040
where i was like yeah okay sure all right um like i said uh during the sneak peak i didn't

463
00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:02,040
realize just how it entwined this was with mass and gurz so you know i'm good

464
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:08,360
coji and all of his crew and i was like oh yeah okay that's cool i guess that was probably

465
00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:13,800
for the people who had watched mass and gurz before and they're like okay we

466
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:20,360
will ease you into it here's something that you know i feel like that was probably the uh aim behind it

467
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:27,800
yeah which um but that makes it weird like we didn't get a full on massing our review uh

468
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:32,200
massing our reboot series in recent time did we i know there were a couple of

469
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:38,920
uhs but i don't think we got like a full on uh tv series remake of this which i would have

470
00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:47,080
expected to come before the god damn sequel series that we got so weird i don't know if it was a

471
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:56,920
remake but there was a 2009 tv series and i guess i i don't know if that's a remake

472
00:46:56,920 --> 00:47:06,200
for uh and might have been i'm not sure and then there was the 2018 movie uh infinity so you know

473
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:15,560
it is still at least existed in the um it's in the public space super robot cultural zeitgeist as it

474
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:21,800
were i mean it can probably never disappear from there as long as super robot works exist okay yes so

475
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:30,120
the the 2009 series was apparently a retelling okay original but again still not watched and i

476
00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:37,000
would like to eventually so and that's still it's like 15 years ago so like i would have expected

477
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:40,600
that damn just like okay we're gonna do a massing our reboot thing and then immediately after

478
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:44,200
they were gonna go into granddys and we're gonna do the whole shabang i would have expect him to

479
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:51,160
then but also maybe this granddys issue was it just created as a tie into the video game maybe like

480
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:58,600
to cross advertising and everything yeah i mean it kind of makes a little bit of brand synergy

481
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:06,120
kind of the way um dragon ball diamond sparking zero were dropped on the same day so

482
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:12,040
and it makes sense right like if you have like more visibility due to those

483
00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:17,560
existing at the same time and maybe worth of mouth and everything if you played the game

484
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:25,720
the ps4 or ps5 game that it's just come out i i thought it when it was like super cheap on steam and i

485
00:48:25,720 --> 00:48:32,360
haven't touched yet i hear it was all right yeah it seems like like one of those uh beat year platinum

486
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:41,240
games like um it looks like a sort of average character action game yeah yeah that's what i got out of it

487
00:48:41,240 --> 00:48:46,040
i still have it on my in my back lock list and i wanted to get it when it got super cheap but i haven't

488
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:56,760
done so yet yeah the the plot goes weird places where the vagans are trying to you know just

489
00:48:56,760 --> 00:49:03,320
systematically destroy the entire planet because they can't get the one guy they want and grand

490
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:24,520
own super robot called aqua dizer and there's a big square off between that uh i am having trouble

491
00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:29,800
remembering characters names because they actually throw a surprising amount at you in this show

492
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:37,720
there's duke sister maria who can kind of sort of see the future it's weird and not

493
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:46,120
100% explained but it's okay don't worry about it all right ruby uh duke is supposed to be married to

494
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:53,080
uh rubina but her sister terona is like i will have none of this fraternizing with the enemy certain

495
00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:59,400
and she's like very uh very straight up you know just plays it straight the whole time but

496
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:09,560
rubina is supposed to have been dead uh but she kind of wavers between you know oh but you know

497
00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:15,720
the vagan empires the greatest of all we have to capture and find duke fleed but then

498
00:50:15,720 --> 00:50:23,480
when it sort of becomes apparent that hey so all of the things that happen back on uh planet fleed

499
00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:30,680
weren't exactly dukes false she's sort of like well me hey baby we don't have to do that thing

500
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:36,760
and she tries and goes to see him and at one point she does go see him and she and she and

501
00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:41,240
she and duke get married but just kidding it was actually terona in this guy whoa

502
00:50:41,240 --> 00:50:48,680
because she's like if i marry you then you can't harm my sister any longer you awful man and it's like

503
00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:54,840
Jesus christ all this culminates in taking the fight to the vaguestar and although they're saucer

504
00:50:54,840 --> 00:51:00,040
beasts and there's a ton of them in mashinger ze gets a massive power-ups we can actually fight on

505
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:07,320
the same level as a grandiser because like there's a massive power gap between grandiser in the

506
00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:14,040
vagans and mashinger because you know that stupid awful terrestrial technology who cares

507
00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:20,760
there's this one character kasado who's supposed to have been one of the uh

508
00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:28,120
fleed knights alongside duke but he's all like um i don't like how strong you are duke fleed

509
00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:34,200
and he's just out to kill duke and there's just moment where it's like oh maybe he can turn

510
00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:41,640
out okay nope he's dead nevermind whoops and i realized i'm speeding past a lot of this but i

511
00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:47,080
feel like they were speeding past this because they can then 74 episodes down to 12 as far as i can tell

512
00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:57,160
and they have this big ol fight with the vagian leader who's got a face inside his face and it's

513
00:51:57,160 --> 00:52:08,520
a weird and it's it's very go-na-guy and it doesn't really matter because rubina ends up getting killed

514
00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:17,160
in the end and it's like oh didn't get the good ending anyway okay it was fun it was it moved about

515
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:23,640
150 miles an hour but it was a fun watch if you want something that's like you know a fast watch

516
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:30,120
you could check it out um but look finding where to watch it though i'm sure if you know your way around

517
00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:36,440
the internet you'll be able to find a way to watch it like the way the both of us had well i know you

518
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:41,480
ended up dropping it but i ended up sticking it out and had to find ways to watch it but it's out

519
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:49,320
there um the quality of the production kind of goes up and down a bit but i don't ever feel like

520
00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:53,480
it was egregiously bad it was like there's maybe a couple frames here and there that were like

521
00:52:53,480 --> 00:53:01,080
but it wasn't like aggressively awful so i still think it was enjoyable for what it was so yeah and

522
00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:06,200
you know like i said get your brand synergy from playing the game maybe eventually i'll play it in

523
00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:11,800
report back and be like hey you know maybe this game was good or maybe it was bad who who knows

524
00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:16,120
i haven't looked up any metacritic or open critic scores on games for a real long time so

525
00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:21,720
i just know that granddiser is a we're fucking looking robot when he is in a spherical form

526
00:53:21,720 --> 00:53:31,880
beautiful yeah the UFO and i mean it is called in the original UFO robot granddiser so there you go

527
00:53:31,880 --> 00:53:37,880
he is that it's just one of those very unusual mech designs that you really never see anymore

528
00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:43,640
probably for a good reason but it's fun it's fun that it's like well they didn't it's very

529
00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:50,680
same time about it really right like that they still kept it like as this round fucking UFO

530
00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:59,960
typical yeah like a saucer yeah saucer yeah so yeah yeah because the uh vegan uh baddies of the weeks

531
00:53:59,960 --> 00:54:05,400
are called saucer beasts yeah so there you go this is cool just going with the theme i like that

532
00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:12,920
yeah so uh check it out if you just want your hit of 1970s nostalgia because it definitely feel

533
00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:19,160
it feels modern and modernized enough but you could still tell that's yeah it's part of you

534
00:54:19,160 --> 00:54:23,960
there a little bit of its time especially especially granddiser's design in particular everyone

535
00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:29,160
knows kind of got a little bit of a facelift so you know that's fine but you know i guess then that's

536
00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:37,480
in for the quick interdead and uh yes so you know i guess it's up to the next thing let's get over and do

537
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:53,400
some movie magic all right yes uh we initially intended to maybe do granddiser's a full review and

538
00:54:54,040 --> 00:55:00,200
or like i mean you made my academia season seven for review but whatever there was something

539
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:09,240
sneaking up on us we're like oh this came out and that was the movie gridman universe and we

540
00:55:09,240 --> 00:55:17,240
reviewed the first two showed it connect to that movie which was s s s gridman and s s s

541
00:55:17,240 --> 00:55:23,800
dana zenan and we like those shows and we're like okay maybe just review movie but uh at the same time

542
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:29,880
it's like maybe it's not enough for the full segment so why don't i check out a couple of other

543
00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:35,320
movies because i intended to anyway because they were also landing on my doorstep so before we get to

544
00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:41,880
granddiser universe uh granddiser universe before we get to gridman universe i mean they're both g u

545
00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:50,280
yes they're very confusing two words completely different but uh the letters are the same

546
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:57,720
damn it but uh yeah so before we get to gridman universe i have three other movies that i checked out

547
00:55:57,720 --> 00:56:05,240
and i want to talk about at least for a while so john take a cup of hot cocoa or something and

548
00:56:05,240 --> 00:56:13,160
lean back while i talk in detail no uh just oh no at least the first two are gonna be very quick the

549
00:56:13,160 --> 00:56:22,040
the third one i have to talk a bit longer about it because you'll see um the first one that i checked

550
00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:29,720
out uh sports anime something i've been looking forward to a long time and that is hi q the dumbster

551
00:56:29,720 --> 00:56:37,080
battle weird name i guess but if you've watched the show and i've talked i've reviewed the

552
00:56:37,080 --> 00:56:43,400
four four four five five seasons at this point i'm not sure four or five uh at least done quick

553
00:56:43,400 --> 00:56:49,240
reviews of the other ones uh don't remember uh uh in what form makes it but i've talked about all of the

554
00:56:49,240 --> 00:56:57,960
seasons and when we last left our gang from carosu no they were slapped up in the middle of a big old

555
00:56:57,960 --> 00:57:04,280
tournament the nationals the national tournament national volleyball tournament so and to my

556
00:57:04,280 --> 00:57:12,600
surprise the next match that they were uh gonna have were against their long time technically rival um

557
00:57:12,600 --> 00:57:19,400
uh from the other side of the country uh neko ma and they have like this long history it's the

558
00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:23,960
cross against the cats and they gonna have to battle at the dumpsters and everything so there was a big

559
00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:28,360
build up to that happening again that's up training matches before they made friends with some people

560
00:57:28,360 --> 00:57:34,120
from the other team and everything like our main character show you having uh do uh having a really

561
00:57:34,120 --> 00:57:39,400
good uh hitting it off really well with one of the important characters from uh from the other team

562
00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:45,560
kenma and it's like oh this is gonna be the big finale of the nationals uh those two teams against it

563
00:57:45,560 --> 00:57:52,200
can't be any other way well um they they fight before even hitting the quarter finals

564
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:57,480
and that is this movie and it was like what wait hold on a second

565
00:57:57,480 --> 00:58:02,760
how is this not the finale of the nation what is coming after this and i'm still wondering

566
00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:07,480
about that because yeah this is what this movie is is those two teams that have like basically

567
00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:10,200
had this build up through the entirety of the show going

568
00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:20,280
fighting before they even reached the quarter finals and it's it's cool like it's a cool match

569
00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:26,680
it's good ol high q its production i g on the movie budget with everything that it that entails that

570
00:58:26,680 --> 00:58:34,040
you can imagine it looks gorgeous there's some amazing plays of great animation in there uh there's

571
00:58:34,040 --> 00:58:40,760
an insane p o v shot at the end from i think it was kenma's perspective where you just see them do a

572
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:45,880
bunch of plays and it's just read first person the entire time and you just wonder how the

573
00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:52,120
who and is so well animated and just you're looking at that in or up to that moment it was just the

574
00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:57,000
usual high q stuff and it looked great in everything but a lot of that movie is also dialogue

575
00:58:57,000 --> 00:59:03,480
and everything in flashbacks and like whoa okay but that shot was just so fucking good that it

576
00:59:03,480 --> 00:59:09,720
basically just if elevates the entire movie which is cool actually yeah which at that point was

577
00:59:09,720 --> 00:59:15,880
just you know you're stylish again shown movie but basically the whole movie slash game is about

578
00:59:15,880 --> 00:59:22,200
show you're getting kenma to the point of for the first time in his life saying that he has fun

579
00:59:22,200 --> 00:59:28,040
playing the game because kenma is good at the game technically in terms of tactics and everything

580
00:59:28,040 --> 00:59:34,760
like he's a good playmaker he knows where his teammates need to be he knows how to get them uh get

581
00:59:34,760 --> 00:59:40,840
them winning in clutch situations and everything he's not really that much into sports in

582
00:59:40,840 --> 00:59:46,440
general he's more of a game guy like everything he does is kind of like references to dragon quest and

583
00:59:46,440 --> 00:59:54,440
stuff like that and RPGs in general and you know and he's like I think referring to subpar players as

584
00:59:54,440 --> 01:00:01,160
slime so something like so you know or that was one of from another anime maybe I'm mixing things up

585
01:00:01,160 --> 01:00:07,480
but he's the game guy so the the video game guy and he's just started playing volleyball because his

586
01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:14,040
best friend who's also on his team is really interval so he's just got strong alone and he's never

587
01:00:14,040 --> 01:00:19,400
being super or it has not admitted to super being into that he just just I'll play it because I guess

588
01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:26,600
I'm good at it but also I'm not a super fit person and run out of steam quickly but I'm a smart guy I

589
01:00:26,600 --> 01:00:31,800
know where to put the players and I know where to put myself and where to delegate I know where to

590
01:00:31,800 --> 01:00:37,560
direct the others so I'm I'm important player but you know there was never really the passion in there

591
01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:42,280
that some of the other characters had and show you was like I'm gonna make him admit that he loves

592
01:00:42,280 --> 01:00:47,160
volleyball and that is basically this entire movie and of course that's what happens at the end

593
01:00:47,160 --> 01:00:53,880
of the game when he gets in there and it's that is the emotional high point of this and it's more

594
01:00:53,880 --> 01:01:03,560
important than Karusano actually winning the game which they do but like it's not the super

595
01:01:03,560 --> 01:01:08,280
all-lost minutes usual you know sports anime stuff where it's like oh and now they're gonna hit

596
01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:15,080
the points and everything it's a really it's a really like standard play that decides it and it's just

597
01:01:15,080 --> 01:01:23,320
just a can't just having sweaty hands and then he drops the ball and that's it and it's just

598
01:01:23,320 --> 01:01:29,080
basically it could happen to anyone and it's not like the super ingenious play by Karusano or something

599
01:01:29,080 --> 01:01:32,680
that outmaneuver similar everything no it's just a prolonged play and because they're playing a long

600
01:01:32,680 --> 01:01:38,520
time he is sweaty and he just the ball slips off his hand and then they have lost and it's like it's

601
01:01:38,520 --> 01:01:44,120
this real anti-climax to that match technically but the important part happens before that and that

602
01:01:44,120 --> 01:01:48,680
is when he admits that he actually loves playing this game he loves playing it with his friends he

603
01:01:48,680 --> 01:01:55,480
loves playing against good opponents like like Karusano you know and like friends on the other side

604
01:01:55,480 --> 01:02:02,600
like rivals like show you so that's the emotional high point and climax of that actual match and then

605
01:02:02,600 --> 01:02:09,640
Karusano winning is just you know the thing that needs to happen really which might disappoint some

606
01:02:09,640 --> 01:02:16,200
people depending considering some of the matches in high q are just so energetic and exciting and

607
01:02:16,200 --> 01:02:22,200
everything and that I don't necessarily feel like that is this match in this movie and considering

608
01:02:22,200 --> 01:02:27,400
the weight was hyped up and everything was built up to it that might feel like a bit of a letdown

609
01:02:27,400 --> 01:02:31,480
to some people it didn't really feel for me I was surprised that that's what they went with and

610
01:02:31,480 --> 01:02:37,080
that they were completely focused on the character stuff but that also works in regards to what

611
01:02:37,080 --> 01:02:43,640
high q was doing until now so I liked it I liked it a lot I'm super surprised this wasn't a finale though

612
01:02:43,640 --> 01:02:49,080
and so I'm pretty sure I know who they're gonna play against because there's this one team

613
01:02:49,080 --> 01:02:53,400
that's gonna probably wait for them in the quarter finals that has this kind of like

614
01:02:53,400 --> 01:03:01,960
anti show show you like this uh this with the same uh body attributes and everything he can jump

615
01:03:01,960 --> 01:03:06,840
super high he can do super quick plays and everything he just has white hair so it's white show you

616
01:03:07,400 --> 01:03:16,120
something like that and it's probably gonna square off but the weird thing is these will be the quarter

617
01:03:16,120 --> 01:03:24,440
finals and as far as I know only two movies have been announced so far this one and the next one

618
01:03:24,440 --> 01:03:30,600
so are we getting more are they gonna kicked out of the nationals in the quarter finals which is

619
01:03:30,600 --> 01:03:36,200
my current assumption which would be always time for them to announce more yeah sure but it's like

620
01:03:36,200 --> 01:03:42,360
the manga is over and I don't know how much more story they had to cover so this could be like a

621
01:03:42,360 --> 01:03:48,680
well we tried but we're not there yet in terms of capability so I also would be surprised if

622
01:03:48,680 --> 01:03:53,480
that's how they ended like they're probably gonna lose against the better show you in the in the

623
01:03:53,480 --> 01:04:00,440
in the next match that could be the case uh bit of a spoiler I guess like with announcing only the

624
01:04:00,440 --> 01:04:05,320
two movies and but also like you said maybe they'll announce more we'll see but yeah really

625
01:04:05,320 --> 01:04:13,560
interesting that would be like a gun bar a kicker situation a soccer anime I watched faithfully

626
01:04:13,560 --> 01:04:18,120
multiple times through from beginning to end back in the day because it was airing on TV over here

627
01:04:18,120 --> 01:04:25,080
and everyone liked it not captain subaza but the other one and they in at least in the tv series version

628
01:04:25,080 --> 01:04:30,280
they lost the finale in the tournament that we're playing at the end like they lost the finale

629
01:04:30,280 --> 01:04:35,320
against their arch rivals and that was really for me watching that back in the day that was like

630
01:04:35,320 --> 01:04:43,080
what our heroes don't win at the end what the fuck or how many times did ash lose in the Pokemon

631
01:04:43,080 --> 01:04:52,040
league yes but that was before ash so I I didn't know about his jump ass but so but uh yeah so uh

632
01:04:52,040 --> 01:04:56,760
that that was really surprising to me so would be interesting to see something like that

633
01:04:57,720 --> 01:05:05,560
again and see how the team handles that and everything uh and yeah uh let's see and also the kicker is one

634
01:05:05,560 --> 01:05:11,960
in a movie version that changed the ending of that game which I haven't seen yet I should I should

635
01:05:11,960 --> 01:05:17,640
try to to I mean I think I already found it somewhere but I haven't watched it yet so it would be

636
01:05:17,640 --> 01:05:27,000
very interesting uh german subs sure um but anyway that cool movie liked it a lot um interested to see

637
01:05:27,800 --> 01:05:32,760
how the next one pens out and if that will be the end of the series or if we'll get more uh if

638
01:05:32,760 --> 01:05:37,720
there was more stuff left from the manga or if that is where the nationals and the story and

639
01:05:37,720 --> 01:05:44,840
but yeah I'm definitely gonna watch that whenever that will end up I watched an anime movie at the movie

640
01:05:44,840 --> 01:05:54,840
theater it just came out and that is the lord of the rings war of the rohiran which technically is a

641
01:05:55,560 --> 01:06:02,120
it's a us produced movie uh for all intents and purposes but it has a lot of japanese staff

642
01:06:02,120 --> 01:06:10,040
uh among them the uh the director uh Kenji kamiyama who they really put front and center in the

643
01:06:10,040 --> 01:06:15,640
advertit like in in the trailers from legendary director Kenji uh Kenji kamiyama it's like wait who is

644
01:06:15,640 --> 01:06:22,680
Kenji kamiyama again well he directed a lot of ghost in the shell sent a lot of complex stuff he

645
01:06:23,800 --> 01:06:36,360
directed um uh he he created the blood series uh and directed that and um he uh also directed the new

646
01:06:36,360 --> 01:06:44,440
ultraman uh Netflix shows I think so yeah he's done a lot of a a lot of stuff but yeah he's the director

647
01:06:44,440 --> 01:06:49,560
of this and this is just a full on anime this is now like the character designs the way it looks the

648
01:06:49,560 --> 01:06:56,200
way it animates this is just a lot of the rings anime hey and i was surprised but i was actually

649
01:06:56,200 --> 01:07:02,040
especially surprised putting them them putting that in this in the theater and an i-max for an entire

650
01:07:02,040 --> 01:07:06,680
week it's like oh okay never seen an anime i don't i-max before and then we're gonna do that

651
01:07:06,680 --> 01:07:18,440
so um yeah and the story is basically a prequel um it's set before the events of the ring war in

652
01:07:18,440 --> 01:07:23,720
the original three lot of the rings movies but it it is definitely in that universe it's not something

653
01:07:23,720 --> 01:07:29,560
that plays uh it's an elsewhere story or something like that and the focus of this are

654
01:07:29,560 --> 01:07:39,400
the roherim so the people from the the writers of rohan right um and uh the

655
01:07:39,400 --> 01:07:46,200
it's focuses on this uh this daughter of one of the more i guess well-known characters

656
01:07:46,920 --> 01:07:52,760
Helm Hammerhand you know what what who was Helm's deep-named after later on which is the big uh

657
01:07:52,760 --> 01:08:01,800
setpiece for the second lot of the rings movie um and this is partially his story but also more so

658
01:08:01,800 --> 01:08:09,560
the story of his daughter um who is kind of like this wants to be a shield maiden which is not really

659
01:08:09,560 --> 01:08:15,640
a thing anymore uh at this point and there was like yeah we should get rid of that old custom and who

660
01:08:15,640 --> 01:08:20,840
has seen she's amazing so a woman who doesn't do just you know the classic womanly princess things but

661
01:08:20,840 --> 01:08:27,800
also fights on horseback and everything else and she is kind of that she is pretty wild and she wants

662
01:08:27,800 --> 01:08:35,640
to be more than just married off to some prince of gondor and uh yeah and then some shit happens

663
01:08:35,640 --> 01:08:41,080
like her dad Helm Hammerhand lives up to his name and accidentally which is the single punch killed

664
01:08:41,080 --> 01:08:50,040
kills um lord from from a different part of his kingdom and uh that causes that lord's son to rebel

665
01:08:50,040 --> 01:08:56,280
and they have a there's a big old war and shit hits the fan and everything and that's basically the

666
01:08:56,280 --> 01:09:04,200
entire movie um with different changing setpieces and everything and uh Helm Helm Hammerhand's daughter

667
01:09:05,880 --> 01:09:13,400
Hera being mixed up in that because she's also had um kind of a childhood not necessarily romans but

668
01:09:13,400 --> 01:09:17,640
definitely friend thing going on with the son of the lord who got killed and everything so that

669
01:09:17,640 --> 01:09:23,000
complicates it and or would complicate it if he was actually a sympathetic character but he's

670
01:09:23,000 --> 01:09:29,000
an absolute asshole like from beginning to end like he's the worst so it's not like they're making you

671
01:09:29,000 --> 01:09:36,200
trying to sympathize with sympathize with his side too it's like he's he's just completely controlling

672
01:09:36,200 --> 01:09:43,560
asshole and like the smallest man in terms of oh god you you were better at me than fighting and I

673
01:09:43,560 --> 01:09:48,600
hated that and how dare you live your own life and everything and how dare you make me back to marry

674
01:09:48,600 --> 01:09:57,800
you and whatever so he's he's real inseal prince I guess but goddamn uh he uh yeah he's a shitty guy

675
01:09:57,800 --> 01:10:07,000
and uh the movie is just him uh of throwing a lot an army against uh you know um Hera and her father

676
01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:12,760
and everything and then having a big old showdown at Helm's Deep uh which is not called that at the

677
01:10:12,760 --> 01:10:18,200
beginning I don't know what it was called in english uh was it called orn castle hornbroke there it

678
01:10:18,200 --> 01:10:22,120
was called horn book in germin I had to watch it in a germin dub because there was no um

679
01:10:22,120 --> 01:10:29,000
original version show uh version showing an i-mix so uh so germin dub was solid because it was a

680
01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:33,160
big movie production so of course they got some good uh voice uh voice actors there

681
01:10:33,160 --> 01:10:40,120
but uh would also like to see it in english again it's a very pretty movie overall it is

682
01:10:40,120 --> 01:10:47,240
handicapped a bit by an overreliance on unnecessary rotoscoping uh and a few bits of shoddy CG

683
01:10:48,360 --> 01:10:53,080
there is you know I don't mind rotoscoping onto the characters I think that can look really cool

684
01:10:53,080 --> 01:11:00,360
especially in 2d fight sequence the problem is they don't use it mostly for that for some reason

685
01:11:00,360 --> 01:11:06,600
or only for that but also in the dialogue scenes and that is becomes somewhat distracting at moments

686
01:11:06,600 --> 01:11:13,160
where the characters just are over animated like they just weirdly move around and move their shoulders

687
01:11:13,160 --> 01:11:18,520
and turn in every direction while they talk and everything like that which is super unnecessary

688
01:11:18,520 --> 01:11:24,760
and the problem is if you have the rotoscoping on traditional 2d animation with a limited frame count

689
01:11:24,760 --> 01:11:29,800
in fighting sequences you necessarily don't notice that or it can actually enhance

690
01:11:29,800 --> 01:11:36,600
the kinetic energy of the fight scenes the problem is in dialogue scenes it just looks weird

691
01:11:36,600 --> 01:11:42,920
it's just like these characters who shouldn't behave like 3d models trying to behave like 3d models

692
01:11:42,920 --> 01:11:51,560
in a superfluid way and 2d you know not disney to d superfluid to d rotoscoped animation but you know

693
01:11:51,560 --> 01:11:59,240
limited and frame anime animation that can look really good but it was not made for that kind of

694
01:11:59,240 --> 01:12:05,880
behavior especially not in its dialogue scenes and so you have like this weirdly uh weird moments with

695
01:12:05,880 --> 01:12:10,920
over-enement characters just going down the stairs and talking and looking trying to look way too much

696
01:12:10,920 --> 01:12:16,440
like motion capture and everything which I must assume also played into that and sometimes it just

697
01:12:16,440 --> 01:12:21,240
it just looks weird and it looks unnecessarily over animated it's like

698
01:12:21,240 --> 01:12:28,040
ha you should have just kept that kind of she should just put up that additional work into the fight

699
01:12:28,040 --> 01:12:34,520
sequences and just not have it in these dialogue scenes which is it just too much in the distracts

700
01:12:34,520 --> 01:12:40,360
what actually is being said and everything because the characters just the character details can't

701
01:12:40,360 --> 01:12:45,400
match what the animation is trying to do with the rotoscoping so that was a bit of a down

702
01:12:45,400 --> 01:12:49,800
down that wouldn't even necessarily say it's a down it's just a distraction right it doesn't

703
01:12:49,800 --> 01:12:55,240
ruin the movie or everything anything but it's it's a it's a choice it's a choice where I wasn't sure

704
01:12:55,240 --> 01:13:00,920
why they made it where it's like why did you do that like all the scenes where you don't do that

705
01:13:00,920 --> 01:13:05,640
in terms of dialogue and everything look fine but when you just try to go just full ham with

706
01:13:05,640 --> 01:13:10,920
the rotoscoping and the dialogue it just looks weird because the animation just can't match your speed

707
01:13:10,920 --> 01:13:16,280
there and it's it's just a weird choice it's just like them trying hey it's a movie and it's it's

708
01:13:16,280 --> 01:13:20,920
gonna be on the big screens and internationally it's a lot of the rings thing it's a big franchise

709
01:13:20,920 --> 01:13:26,200
so we have to pull our all into that and we're just gonna throw all of our animation talent at even

710
01:13:26,200 --> 01:13:32,120
the smallest scene and it just doesn't doesn't work for that kind of animation style in my opinion

711
01:13:32,120 --> 01:13:38,760
so and then we have some a bit of shoddy cg on some of the stuff there like the backgrounds are fine

712
01:13:38,760 --> 01:13:43,320
like you immediately see it cg like the mountains when the first moment with like this eel is flying

713
01:13:43,320 --> 01:13:49,400
through the landscape of rohen and you see like the mountains surrounding it and everything it looks

714
01:13:49,400 --> 01:13:57,480
very much like cg but very good cg very high-res very detailed and everything that it would have

715
01:13:57,480 --> 01:14:03,800
been fine if they like kept it to that but they also put it sometimes on some of the structure like

716
01:14:03,800 --> 01:14:09,800
a siege tower that they're building right and then it crashes into into into ham's deep and

717
01:14:09,800 --> 01:14:16,200
it just looks like it doesn't belong to the drawn stuff like it clashes with the hand drawn stuff

718
01:14:16,200 --> 01:14:23,240
and the same for a scene where where an all of the fun is just running into a barricade and the

719
01:14:23,240 --> 01:14:29,880
barricade's cg and splinter is in a really weird way like someone turned off the havoc engine to

720
01:14:29,880 --> 01:14:36,280
maximum or something like that it just looks really fucking weird and these are the moments where like

721
01:14:36,280 --> 01:14:41,560
I give what you were trying to do but it doesn't work so maybe you should have done it a bit

722
01:14:41,560 --> 01:14:48,840
differently but again it doesn't really doesn't really take down the movie so much where it's like

723
01:14:48,840 --> 01:14:54,280
it doesn't ruin the experience what is more problematic is that the story loses a lot of its momentum

724
01:14:54,280 --> 01:14:59,400
in the second half I feel like once they get to ham's deep it just not comes to a grinding halt but

725
01:14:59,400 --> 01:15:05,640
it slows down severely and never really picks up from that again in terms of storytelling speed

726
01:15:05,640 --> 01:15:09,320
and interesting things happening and something there's still a big old battle at the end and there's

727
01:15:09,320 --> 01:15:14,840
some cool fight scenes and everything but it's like it feels like this it's treading a bit of water

728
01:15:14,840 --> 01:15:21,480
from that moment on so those were my problems with it I enjoyed it though overall I wouldn't mind

729
01:15:21,480 --> 01:15:29,320
to see more lot of the rings anime but maybe maybe makes a few different decisions the next time

730
01:15:29,320 --> 01:15:34,520
you do that if if we'll ever get that because I think it's not super successful at the box office

731
01:15:34,520 --> 01:15:42,840
and it's got some big contenders coming up which it won't match like Sonic 3 and Mufasa so good luck

732
01:15:42,840 --> 01:15:52,200
with that like I mean I went at a time at a time that the day was showing it at the time where you

733
01:15:52,200 --> 01:15:58,680
can't expect anyone to show up for it anywhere it was like 2 p.m. in the afternoon on weekdays it's like

734
01:15:58,680 --> 01:16:06,040
yeah this is not a movie necessarily meant for kids because it's also kind of violent in certain parts

735
01:16:06,040 --> 01:16:12,200
and you know it's a lot of the rings stuff so maybe I don't know if you want to take your young kids

736
01:16:12,200 --> 01:16:19,480
who are maybe not in school right now take to this but like I had the big ol iMac's room

737
01:16:19,480 --> 01:16:27,640
that were like with me six other people so her and it was this first week I think so at least

738
01:16:27,640 --> 01:16:34,600
over here it's probably not getting that much audience so and it sounds it's the same for

739
01:16:34,600 --> 01:16:39,560
the us box office so let's see let's see how much money it makes maybe it will not discourage them

740
01:16:39,560 --> 01:16:44,200
to do more in that vein I wouldn't mind it I would like to see more from this universe in anime form

741
01:16:44,200 --> 01:16:49,640
but also maybe this was a one and done there we'll see I'm sure all of the Lord of the Reans

742
01:16:49,640 --> 01:16:57,240
nerds out there will do their best to go see it yeah yeah I mean you say that I was talking to a

743
01:16:57,240 --> 01:17:01,400
colleague of mine and she was like well I'm probably not gonna see it in the theater I'm gonna wait

744
01:17:01,400 --> 01:17:07,720
until it's on the release I'm like oh well okay everyone yeah we'll see I don't know maybe I'll

745
01:17:08,520 --> 01:17:13,240
I feel like I've seen the trailer a lot especially in front of big movies which surprised me

746
01:17:13,240 --> 01:17:18,920
but I don't know how good the advertising or how prominent the advertising is outside of that

747
01:17:18,920 --> 01:17:22,360
so I don't even know how many people are aware that there's a new lot of the ring

748
01:17:22,360 --> 01:17:28,360
a lot of the rings movies in theaters true so we'll see we'll see how it pans out but again

749
01:17:28,360 --> 01:17:33,960
solid movie wasn't attaining like I said slowed down a bit by the end but in a bit of

750
01:17:34,680 --> 01:17:40,760
weird creative choices there but overall it was competently made it was fun uh there was a lot

751
01:17:40,760 --> 01:17:47,240
of cool action stuff in there and it was was despite some of the weird choices it was very pretty

752
01:17:47,240 --> 01:17:54,680
like really really big budget anime pretty so yes the last one before we get to our big

753
01:17:54,680 --> 01:17:57,200
shared review is one elast

754
01:17:57,200 --> 01:18:11,420
one elast

755
01:18:11,420 --> 01:18:18,160
which is so first of all I'm a bit late on this since it came out at the end of 2022 in Japan but hey

756
01:18:18,160 --> 01:18:23,120
better late than ever and also it's been only available on home media since summer this year so I

757
01:18:23,120 --> 01:18:31,120
guess I'm not that late to the party and this movie adapts the final match from the slam dunk

758
01:18:31,120 --> 01:18:37,760
basketball manga which hadn't been adapted until now not even in the original tv series which I

759
01:18:37,760 --> 01:18:44,320
loved um I love the original slam dunk tv anime but it ended before it was able to adapt all of the

760
01:18:44,320 --> 01:18:51,280
manga there were also four other movies of that aside from the tv show in the 90s but those were all

761
01:18:51,280 --> 01:18:56,720
set during the series or prequels and not after it if I remember correctly so as far as I know this is

762
01:18:56,720 --> 01:19:03,280
the first attempt of adapting the finale of that manga which you know given that the title is a bit

763
01:19:03,280 --> 01:19:07,840
of a misnomer I think because it's technically the last slam dunk yeah I was gonna say

764
01:19:07,840 --> 01:19:15,200
I was quite sure about why why the creator picked that but it doesn't matter really

765
01:19:15,200 --> 01:19:21,200
this is also pretty much a dream come true project first of all this happening after such a long time

766
01:19:21,200 --> 01:19:27,440
of the original series how one was the original series let me look this up quickly uh 1993

767
01:19:27,440 --> 01:19:35,040
oh wow yes so I don't know when it wrap up probably 1994 or five but I think it went for a rent

768
01:19:35,040 --> 01:19:47,120
for 60 or 80 episodes and now 2024 or 2022 I guess we get a big budget movie wrap up for this

769
01:19:48,160 --> 01:19:53,280
and not only that but it was directed and written by the original creator of the manga

770
01:19:53,280 --> 01:20:00,640
taki koinui well now yes which feels like an incredibly rarity jaan dude did we ever have that

771
01:20:00,640 --> 01:20:06,880
where the original manga creator was also the director of the adaption I don't know like actually

772
01:20:06,880 --> 01:20:12,000
with the four first not only like like cooperating or or the assistant director or something like that

773
01:20:12,000 --> 01:20:17,920
but actually first and for writer and director of that thing I don't remember anything of but

774
01:20:18,160 --> 01:20:22,560
yeah I don't remember anything like that ever happening ever but that guy apparently

775
01:20:22,560 --> 01:20:29,040
such a big deal I don't know if he's directed anything else outside of this I didn't look it up I should have

776
01:20:29,040 --> 01:20:32,720
but um

777
01:20:32,720 --> 01:20:41,120
holy shit like if this is your first direction credit you know what the fuck like this is so good

778
01:20:42,320 --> 01:20:47,840
this is one of the best anime movie things I've ever seen probably anime things in general like this

779
01:20:47,840 --> 01:20:53,200
came out of nowhere and like again I should look this up it's probably not his only direction credit

780
01:20:53,200 --> 01:20:57,120
it can't be like and I know it's not his only writing credit because he wrote the goddamn manga so

781
01:20:57,120 --> 01:21:05,760
but maybe also the only movie he wrote and what like I know anime are not created by one person

782
01:21:05,760 --> 01:21:09,680
but you need to have a person with a strong vision also when it comes to the visuals and

783
01:21:11,360 --> 01:21:15,840
that was definitely there don't know it was only for him or if he was said now this this probably

784
01:21:15,840 --> 01:21:19,760
should look like this and this look like this and everything I was handled by the animation directors

785
01:21:19,760 --> 01:21:26,880
and whatever but holy fucking shit so most of the match footage in this is CG which had me worried

786
01:21:26,880 --> 01:21:34,400
before going into it because it's like oh yeah it's gonna look wonky and I don't know I um

787
01:21:34,400 --> 01:21:40,720
you know how I'm with CG in anime but holy fucking shit does this movie look downright

788
01:21:40,720 --> 01:21:45,760
incredible pretty much every step of the way it's fluid it's sharp it's impeccably directed every

789
01:21:45,760 --> 01:21:52,560
important scene looks as good as it can and then some and it uses like this special shading that really

790
01:21:52,560 --> 01:21:57,200
makes it look like the original manga come to life it's fantastic like there's this moment after the

791
01:21:57,200 --> 01:22:02,880
short introductionary scenes that we have with the main character where the actual match starts

792
01:22:02,880 --> 01:22:07,920
because you know just like the high-cube movie this is basically just this one match and you have

793
01:22:07,920 --> 01:22:15,360
like these our main characters basically walking onto the court but starting us out as like this rough

794
01:22:15,360 --> 01:22:20,880
drafts like with a pencil and then slowly being built up to being full character models and they

795
01:22:20,880 --> 01:22:25,360
do that for every of the characters while the soundtrack is playing in the background and it's like

796
01:22:25,360 --> 01:22:31,120
this this somewhat rock march where they walk onto the court and it looks fucking amazing and you

797
01:22:31,120 --> 01:22:36,240
see one of one of the none of these characters being realized and put into color and then the the

798
01:22:36,240 --> 01:22:40,720
opposing team and then it's they're heading off against each other and it's like this versus screen

799
01:22:40,720 --> 01:22:45,360
and street fighter and I'm like what the what is happening and why am I crying

800
01:22:45,360 --> 01:22:53,760
it's fucking amazing so the animation production was handled by Toei and Dandelion Studio the letter

801
01:22:53,760 --> 01:23:00,080
wasn't really on my radar before but good lord is it now and they handled the CG in a lot of movies

802
01:23:00,080 --> 01:23:06,880
and TV shows high-cube the berserk movies looper part four musical tense I don't know if they have

803
01:23:06,880 --> 01:23:12,480
improved so much since the berserk movies because that was a mixed bag especially came came to the

804
01:23:12,480 --> 01:23:17,280
mass scenes with a lot of soldiers they look really stiff and wonky but also that was

805
01:23:17,280 --> 01:23:22,960
studio for sea also handling this so I don't know who did what there again I don't know if they've

806
01:23:22,960 --> 01:23:28,640
improved so much or if it's the fantastic direction making their stuff shine or if it's Toei handling

807
01:23:28,640 --> 01:23:35,920
a lot of that as well but in a lot of moments this our shines orange likes what what studio orange has

808
01:23:35,920 --> 01:23:41,040
given to us and they that is our both our opinion I think they're the top-notch anime studio when

809
01:23:41,040 --> 01:23:47,280
it comes to CG anime they're getting better and better like we look both looking for it B-star season

810
01:23:47,280 --> 01:23:53,360
the final season is gonna hit any minute at least the first part and we're looking forward to that

811
01:23:53,360 --> 01:23:59,200
tri-gun a stampede looked amazing so they are definitely the top-notch studio and granted they're

812
01:23:59,200 --> 01:24:04,160
going for a bit of a different style here and we haven't seen orange operate on a movie budget yet

813
01:24:04,160 --> 01:24:10,800
but what Dandelion is doing here is definitely the new benchmark next to Eupho table I guess because

814
01:24:10,800 --> 01:24:16,160
so they also employ a lot of CG although Eupho table uses CG more sparingly when it comes to animating

815
01:24:16,160 --> 01:24:21,520
actual characters which is always the most tricky thing in my opinion to make look fluid and not

816
01:24:21,520 --> 01:24:25,600
stiff but whoever from Dandelion or Toei handled the character animation in this

817
01:24:25,600 --> 01:24:32,560
who knows well done definitely one of the examples now that rank for me at the top when it comes

818
01:24:32,560 --> 01:24:37,680
to showing that anime can do CG well if the proper budget and creative vision is available

819
01:24:37,680 --> 01:24:43,600
the soundtrack is also ridiculously good done by Satoshi Sakabe who also did the music for the

820
01:24:43,600 --> 01:24:49,440
Ghibli series Ronja the robber's daughter and the movie from Up on Poppy Hill but the presentation

821
01:24:49,440 --> 01:24:54,720
is not even the best thing the movie has to offer no that is its story and characters

822
01:24:54,720 --> 01:25:01,760
like I said just like the high q movie I just talked about this one also tells its story during

823
01:25:01,760 --> 01:25:07,760
the course of basically just a single match but in contrast to the high q movie this one also works

824
01:25:07,760 --> 01:25:12,960
as a standalone film all you really need to know is that these are the finals of the national high

825
01:25:12,960 --> 01:25:17,520
school basketball tournament you get introduced to the most important characters during the match with

826
01:25:17,520 --> 01:25:24,400
a lot of flashbacks but by far the best decision the creators of this movie have made is shifting

827
01:25:24,400 --> 01:25:29,840
the perspective away from the original main character of the story Sakuragi Hanamichi Sakuragi

828
01:25:29,840 --> 01:25:39,040
and centering it mostly instead on Ryohta Miyagi who joins the manga and TV series in its second half

829
01:25:39,040 --> 01:25:46,800
why was this a good decision well while I'll absolutely love Hanamichi and his goofball antics

830
01:25:46,800 --> 01:25:50,320
his story is mostly getting into basketball because he crushes on the girl

831
01:25:50,320 --> 01:25:55,600
there's more to it than that he was a little in quint before and didn't really belong he has like

832
01:25:55,600 --> 01:26:00,560
his bodies his goon squad that he hangs around with and he makes trouble all the time and he's a

833
01:26:00,560 --> 01:26:05,520
dumbass but then he gets into basketball because of this girl he crushes on and he generally learns

834
01:26:05,520 --> 01:26:11,680
to care about the game and some members of his team to an extent but all of that is still kind of

835
01:26:11,680 --> 01:26:18,240
superficial and that might be a bit lacking in substance to some especially if it's like they're

836
01:26:18,240 --> 01:26:26,960
only the movie that they have and if they made Hanamichi the main focus of that so instead they make

837
01:26:26,960 --> 01:26:33,120
Ryohta the main character of this a guy who lost both his dad and brother in quick succession when he

838
01:26:33,120 --> 01:26:38,640
was a young boy a brother who taught him to play basketball and who he downright idolized

839
01:26:39,440 --> 01:26:44,400
and this final match is against the team his brother wanted to eventually play against that beat

840
01:26:44,400 --> 01:26:51,360
and never got to do that because he died so immediately you have this incredibly strong emotional

841
01:26:51,360 --> 01:26:58,240
hook they basically turned this match into that boy's life story stand alone story and it works so

842
01:26:58,240 --> 01:27:04,640
incredibly well you have the complicated relationship to his brother and his mom his troubled youth

843
01:27:04,640 --> 01:27:11,200
how basketball plays into all of that it grabs you it hooks you and it never lets go it's an excellent

844
01:27:11,200 --> 01:27:16,560
sports drama and movie period loved every goddamn second of it and was downright trembling in the

845
01:27:16,560 --> 01:27:23,760
final moment of the match it was it's so good and it just it just escalates and escalates and escalates

846
01:27:23,760 --> 01:27:30,160
and escalates when it comes to the match moments actually and it gives every character not all of

847
01:27:30,160 --> 01:27:34,320
them but a lot of the characters like each their cool moments to shine and also a bit of background

848
01:27:34,320 --> 01:27:39,520
story if you've seen the division you know them and you know what to do with them but also if you

849
01:27:39,520 --> 01:27:43,680
haven't that's why I mean what I mean when I said works as a standalone movie you get enough

850
01:27:43,680 --> 01:27:49,760
character work in this to really connect to pretty much connect to every character at least on

851
01:27:49,760 --> 01:27:54,400
the team that you're supposed to root for not so much for the other team but you learn so much

852
01:27:54,400 --> 01:27:59,440
about them and everyone has like a great moment in the match where they can shine and they we can

853
01:27:59,440 --> 01:28:06,160
turn around this match and the match will just just looks incredible it's just such good animation

854
01:28:06,160 --> 01:28:10,160
such good CG and we have traditional animation as well mostly in the dialogue scenes outside of

855
01:28:10,160 --> 01:28:14,240
the match and everything but the CG in the match itself and how fluid it is and how the place

856
01:28:14,240 --> 01:28:20,800
are visualized and how much the camera swoo like swarves around the characters and how quick

857
01:28:20,800 --> 01:28:28,400
everything moves it just looks so fucking good and yeah I really recommend everyone to watch this

858
01:28:28,400 --> 01:28:33,200
sure you get more out of it if you already familiar with the story and characters because naturally

859
01:28:33,200 --> 01:28:38,640
some of them like Akagi Rukawa and Kogure for example don't get as much screen time as they deserve

860
01:28:38,640 --> 01:28:44,080
and from the enemy team you really get only a bit of background on one of the guys but it really

861
01:28:44,080 --> 01:28:50,480
doesn't matter because this story is so expedited craft and so incredibly well presented that

862
01:28:50,480 --> 01:28:56,400
this is really all you need and it maybe will give some people the incentive to check out the

863
01:28:56,400 --> 01:29:02,080
original show or manga so that's great and like I said it works so well that they changed the focus

864
01:29:02,080 --> 01:29:07,520
character for the audience to the ostensible main character to one of the side characters and

865
01:29:07,520 --> 01:29:13,040
made him the main character of this particular movie it just it works so much better than they if

866
01:29:13,040 --> 01:29:19,440
they would have chosen Hanami Shii as much as I love that guy so fantastic idea fantastic movie I

867
01:29:19,440 --> 01:29:23,600
loved it I would definitely watch it again and again probably and I hope everyone out there who

868
01:29:23,600 --> 01:29:29,840
like sports anime or just anime or movies in general we give this a look because hot damn if not you

869
01:29:29,840 --> 01:29:36,240
y'all are missing out this is absolutely once in a lifetime movie in my opinion I was just blown away

870
01:29:36,240 --> 01:29:41,760
I wish I could have seen it on the big screen I don't know if it had a run over here maybe and I

871
01:29:41,760 --> 01:29:46,800
I won't look that up because I will just be very angry at myself that I skipped on that because

872
01:29:46,800 --> 01:29:54,160
I was like oh cg so it's probably not good that will show me goddamn so yeah I'm super happy that

873
01:29:54,160 --> 01:30:05,760
this after all these years after like 30 years only shit I got a finish to to this story and what

874
01:30:05,760 --> 01:30:12,960
a finish it was what a goddamn finish it was but yeah it's not the only probable finish we got in

875
01:30:12,960 --> 01:30:20,960
movie form this time which will bring us to our last movie review and the one that both of us

876
01:30:20,960 --> 01:30:27,280
watched so John why don't you take it away I've talked enough I mean I will talk again obviously but

877
01:30:27,280 --> 01:30:35,520
why don't you take it away and tell us what was was happening in the grid man universe a lot apparently

878
01:30:38,080 --> 01:30:50,720
so this basically takes place a year after the end of ssss grid man and yuta is trying to work up the

879
01:30:50,720 --> 01:31:01,680
courage to confess to rica and then kaiju attack as they do and it's like we're thrown kind of

880
01:31:01,680 --> 01:31:10,720
right straight into it and grid man appears before a yuta again he's like so basically the balance

881
01:31:10,720 --> 01:31:18,720
between worlds is starting to fall apart and then everyone else starts appearing from the series

882
01:31:18,720 --> 01:31:25,440
and from dynazine on as well and it's like I said it kind of happens all at once rated the star and it's

883
01:31:29,440 --> 01:31:38,560
it's a lot yeah it's a lot and I feel like trying to summarize this movie is tough but they talk about

884
01:31:38,560 --> 01:31:45,120
this might be part of a phenomenon called the big crunch which I guess is opposed to the big bang

885
01:31:45,120 --> 01:31:49,040
I don't know how they phrase it yeah I don't know if that is an actual term that exists

886
01:31:49,040 --> 01:31:57,360
maybe in a hundred billion years it will as you know astrophysics something something the

887
01:31:57,360 --> 01:32:04,240
universe is constantly expanding you can argue about how it's expanding because I was actually

888
01:32:04,240 --> 01:32:10,240
listening to a talk about that last week the week before some people think it's a linear some

889
01:32:10,240 --> 01:32:18,240
people think it's exponential that's a whole nother discussion but yeah so this kaiju appears

890
01:32:18,240 --> 01:32:26,720
and dynarex and suddenly gauma and everyone from me I still won't be able to get over the name nian

891
01:32:26,720 --> 01:32:33,760
genesis junior high school this is never not to this day this is definitely one of the movies I mean

892
01:32:33,760 --> 01:32:39,200
as outside of that that was already in the grittman show then being that part of the grittman

893
01:32:39,200 --> 01:32:44,240
line is being called that but this is definitely one of those movies where it's like oh yeah this is ex

894
01:32:44,240 --> 01:32:50,720
kaiju screw like in terms of where it goes and how weird it gets in parts and how meta it gets

895
01:32:50,720 --> 01:32:56,640
like this is a very meta movie like they're one of the interesting and I guess very important

896
01:32:56,640 --> 01:33:01,600
side bits that might not seem like it but it definitely is is that they're trying to put on the play

897
01:33:01,600 --> 01:33:10,640
in this in this movie of the events of what happened in grittman and you to his kind of

898
01:33:10,640 --> 01:33:18,560
had his memory wipe from the end of grittman and rika and ujumi rika and ujumi want to

899
01:33:19,520 --> 01:33:27,280
tell the world their story yeah and rika intentionally or in the beginning was like real

900
01:33:27,280 --> 01:33:33,840
she really wants to let the world know about arcane side of the story you know the

901
01:33:33,840 --> 01:33:40,240
stanzel antagonist of the first series but who actually was the main character in this guy's

902
01:33:40,240 --> 01:33:47,520
considering her arc was the most important one and you know it's really funny how the show

903
01:33:47,520 --> 01:33:54,880
plays into what happens we like they okay they're setting up the they're trying to set up the play

904
01:33:54,880 --> 01:34:00,320
which feels like it's gonna be a thing inside the thing and then the script needs to be changed

905
01:34:00,320 --> 01:34:07,840
because and everyone is too we is happy with how it's set up like that it is too that never it's too

906
01:34:07,840 --> 01:34:13,520
complicated the thing that is really important to rika no one gets and it's like no let's just

907
01:34:13,520 --> 01:34:18,320
throw more characters in there like once the dynasena characters arrives they just throw out the

908
01:34:18,320 --> 01:34:22,080
arcane pot and throw the new characters in there and now there's just more characters and

909
01:34:22,080 --> 01:34:28,960
everyone likes it it's like hey this is more fun and i was like okay rika this is to throw in

910
01:34:28,960 --> 01:34:34,000
more characters yes and make it more confusing no but it's not apparently not for the

911
01:34:34,000 --> 01:34:38,480
everyone liked it because now it's more fun because it's just ridiculous but rika is like well

912
01:34:38,480 --> 01:34:43,120
it feels like and yuta is saying the same i feel like it's missing the focus now like

913
01:34:43,680 --> 01:34:48,960
the arcane stuff was was the heart of this why did you take it out and rika's like well nobody

914
01:34:48,960 --> 01:34:55,520
liked it because it uh they didn't get it and they felt like it was unrealistic and i wonder if the

915
01:34:55,520 --> 01:35:00,000
criticism arcane is character received in this script of the play is a reference to real life

916
01:35:00,000 --> 01:35:06,400
criticism the writing of her character got in the show if i remember correctly a lot of people

917
01:35:06,400 --> 01:35:12,000
thought at least her turn at the end was not convincing from going from bad guy to good guy

918
01:35:12,000 --> 01:35:17,280
technically though i disagree with that i think i've made that evident in our review of a groupman

919
01:35:17,280 --> 01:35:21,680
and her arc was my favorite from that show and she was the ostensible main character like i said

920
01:35:21,680 --> 01:35:28,800
it was like a lot of this the the stuff that relates to the play in the show them changing it

921
01:35:28,800 --> 01:35:34,640
last minute or several times right and throwing it out and then yuta commentican is saying like

922
01:35:34,640 --> 01:35:39,280
"louder you've taken out the arcane pot it's losing the co- says lost this heart it says lost this

923
01:35:39,280 --> 01:35:46,480
core yeah it was very important to me too rika says but also people didn't get it so i wanted to be the

924
01:35:46,480 --> 01:35:51,840
to to get the audience come the audience out of our project happy because it's like a school plan

925
01:35:51,840 --> 01:35:58,320
so maybe that's more important and all of this the entire play part of this feels like it's a

926
01:35:58,320 --> 01:36:05,280
meta commentary commentary on making the gritman danazena and gritman universe stuff like

927
01:36:05,280 --> 01:36:11,680
strong trigger and trigger is now has done is not a verse to doing that in general they have done

928
01:36:11,680 --> 01:36:21,680
this before like i feel like uh what was it was a little bit of a academia or a lot some of their stuff

929
01:36:21,680 --> 01:36:29,040
just feels like they're commenting on creating anime like with by making anime like their story is

930
01:36:29,040 --> 01:36:34,800
a comment on doing that and the problems that rise from that and the hurdles and what that can

931
01:36:34,800 --> 01:36:42,320
entail and everything and this again feels deadly like a commentary on that as well it's a whole bit

932
01:36:42,320 --> 01:36:49,120
yeah and i'm not criticizing that i think that is super fun it was a federal just like really evident

933
01:36:49,120 --> 01:36:54,640
at certain moments was like okay i guess i know what you're doing with that here and i'm going to

934
01:36:54,640 --> 01:37:00,320
talk about the point where they arrive at in biopinial later on which is my interpretation of that but

935
01:37:01,200 --> 01:37:08,720
considering what came before it it was really fun but yeah things get really weird like once the

936
01:37:08,720 --> 01:37:14,640
danazena crew appears right because you know we get the explanation with the big crunch and everything

937
01:37:14,640 --> 01:37:24,000
but that really is and what else happens you just starts to see ghosts right yeah and we have this

938
01:37:24,000 --> 01:37:31,440
we have this very like first of all the movie is really good at conveying this feeling of cozy

939
01:37:31,440 --> 01:37:38,560
melancholy just like the previous shows like a weekend and in the summer and you know it's

940
01:37:38,560 --> 01:37:45,280
something happening at school and everything seems to be okay but also maybe not and then things

941
01:37:45,280 --> 01:37:50,960
things get more unsettling there's this weird moment where they talk about the play and suddenly

942
01:37:50,960 --> 01:37:57,760
Alexis Kerrb is with them in the fucking restaurant or coffee shop or wherever they have made their

943
01:37:57,760 --> 01:38:05,840
headquarters and the only ones like being seeming to be faced by this is youcha oh i'm just

944
01:38:05,840 --> 01:38:14,240
reekous father wearing a costume but it's like yeah it's it's it's really interesting like the movie

945
01:38:14,240 --> 01:38:18,240
gives you a small hint that something isn't quite right with all of this like everything that is

946
01:38:18,240 --> 01:38:23,280
happening a lot of this is too convenient and that fits neatly with the matter talk about the

947
01:38:23,280 --> 01:38:28,800
script because it seems the writers uses to justify some of the more over plot conveniences i guess

948
01:38:28,800 --> 01:38:35,760
contrivances but yeah we have the Alexis Kerrb stuff him suddenly being there but also maybe he

949
01:38:35,760 --> 01:38:40,480
isn't and you just imagining the whole thing you just saying wait i haven't felt pain since i got

950
01:38:40,480 --> 01:38:47,920
hit by that volleyball in the head so that is super weird why is that the case why can only i see ghosts

951
01:38:47,920 --> 01:38:54,640
what is going on but everything they are trying to to get through the bottom of this a new kaiju

952
01:38:54,640 --> 01:39:01,360
we have kaiju interrupt us new kaiju appears on the scene to have to fight it and the battles are cool

953
01:39:01,360 --> 01:39:08,080
right like what do we have we have the big fight in the beginning and then later a team up of

954
01:39:08,080 --> 01:39:16,560
grid night and danazan and grid man i guess they're they're stunning you know the battles are mostly

955
01:39:16,560 --> 01:39:20,720
cg of course we have some for the key scenes we have some digitally animated stuff as well

956
01:39:20,720 --> 01:39:26,400
even though like the fully upgraded versions of grid man and grid night don't really lend

957
01:39:26,400 --> 01:39:33,280
themselves super well for prolonged battle choreography in my opinion yeah they kind of get a little

958
01:39:33,280 --> 01:39:39,280
busy with that yeah the designs are so goddamn detailed and bulky you sometimes get a bit of a

959
01:39:39,280 --> 01:39:44,080
bay former syndrome as in you don't know what part of their body you're actually looking at

960
01:39:44,080 --> 01:39:50,960
that the head is that the leg is that the ass like what what did what did the kaiju just get hit

961
01:39:50,960 --> 01:39:58,960
with did it get asked or did it get faced faced palms i don't i don't know whatever but it's fun

962
01:39:58,960 --> 01:40:07,360
like i feel like we we get we get all of what what we wanted in out of the battles initial to battles

963
01:40:07,360 --> 01:40:13,040
in terms of hey seeing all seeing grid man again seeing danazan again seeing different combinations

964
01:40:13,040 --> 01:40:18,320
all the good stuff that we had in the tv show would you agree yeah yeah for the most part yes i mean

965
01:40:18,320 --> 01:40:23,040
again it's weird it's a weird atmosphere of you like wait what is actually going on here like this

966
01:40:23,040 --> 01:40:28,000
the entire first half of the movie is like okay everyone appears it's a lot like you said

967
01:40:28,000 --> 01:40:35,600
and you're wondering like wait this all feels like it's falling into place way too neatly and then

968
01:40:35,600 --> 01:40:39,840
not anything is really happening outside of them fighting kaiju is like they're not getting to

969
01:40:39,840 --> 01:40:44,080
the bottom of it there's like oh it's the big crunch all the universes start to overlap

970
01:40:44,080 --> 01:40:51,360
but there's no any real reason given for it and it's like okay why is this happening and at some point

971
01:40:51,360 --> 01:40:55,520
it feels like the characters don't really care they're just more interested in being in this world

972
01:40:55,520 --> 01:41:00,240
and like hanging out like hey we're gonna eat here at the shop and also hey we're gonna the

973
01:41:00,240 --> 01:41:06,960
danazan on cruis gonna help the help the characters from from grid man putting up their players like

974
01:41:06,960 --> 01:41:14,320
wait don't we have more pressing matters to attend to here apparently not yeah so at that point

975
01:41:14,320 --> 01:41:21,200
it's like okay something else is going on something weird and what is what is all this nonsense

976
01:41:21,200 --> 01:41:27,760
where is this coming from and apparently grid man himself cost off all of this nonsense is what

977
01:41:27,760 --> 01:41:34,240
we find out because since he was originally a being of pure energy without form his interactions

978
01:41:34,240 --> 01:41:41,840
with humanity is what gave him shape and he has been evolving since then and apparently John

979
01:41:41,840 --> 01:41:50,800
correct me if I misunderstood in your opinion he is now able to create universes and kind of became

980
01:41:50,800 --> 01:41:59,680
the everything like that we see the danazan universe the grid man universe everything is part of

981
01:41:59,680 --> 01:42:07,120
him now is what he created like he's kind of become the god of this like he's unconsciously created

982
01:42:07,120 --> 01:42:14,560
and become the universe all at the same time and it was like at that point in the movie I was like

983
01:42:14,560 --> 01:42:23,920
sure dude alright it doesn't necessarily make sense like at all but okay let's just roll with it

984
01:42:24,960 --> 01:42:30,400
I gotta say a lot of this movie didn't make sense to me man yes yes it's like it's asking a few

985
01:42:30,400 --> 01:42:35,440
lot but also at the same time and stating dude honestly it doesn't matter just roll with it just have

986
01:42:35,440 --> 01:42:40,080
fun which is again whether meta stuff with the script comes in at my opinion it's like hey we're just

987
01:42:40,080 --> 01:42:48,400
here maybe to have fun and also we're just gonna do a thing where we comment on our own work by doing

988
01:42:48,400 --> 01:42:52,400
ridiculous stuff in the anime but we're trying to give at the same time give you all the friends

989
01:42:52,400 --> 01:42:57,520
of us moments that you wanted in regards to having these these two set of characters from the two

990
01:42:57,520 --> 01:43:03,840
shows come together and do some wild shit on screen and they do that just it gets even crazier

991
01:43:03,840 --> 01:43:11,200
but yeah just like I said just like I mean we already kind of had this kind of thing in a small compact

992
01:43:11,200 --> 01:43:17,920
version in grid man in the original in in SSS grid man so it doesn't really come out of nowhere

993
01:43:17,920 --> 01:43:23,920
because that's basically what Akane did right she got transported to the digital world by Alexis

994
01:43:23,920 --> 01:43:30,320
because she was like a loner who couldn't connect didn't make any friends and was just was a need

995
01:43:30,320 --> 01:43:39,680
or something like that a hiki kumori and was just was just a shot in and he offered her the chance

996
01:43:39,680 --> 01:43:47,120
to build her own world like GTA style I guess and do anything in data she wanted if someone

997
01:43:47,120 --> 01:43:52,720
wasn't to her liking or went against her wishes she just killed them in her world and remade the world

998
01:43:52,720 --> 01:43:59,120
let everyone forget that something happened and basically started over that was the story of

999
01:43:59,120 --> 01:44:03,920
the original show that was her role as an antagonist just basically treating these digital beings

1000
01:44:03,920 --> 01:44:10,880
that she herself created with the help of Alexis to to make a world that suited her needs

1001
01:44:11,760 --> 01:44:17,600
of being you know an introvert shot in that couldn't easily connect to people and then our characters

1002
01:44:17,600 --> 01:44:23,440
our main characters ostensibly which are really were just the side cares like Rika actually forming a

1003
01:44:23,440 --> 01:44:29,040
connection with her that made her regret what she has been doing in the digital world and that was

1004
01:44:29,040 --> 01:44:34,640
then at some point rebelling against Alexis and going against him who was his motivation was

1005
01:44:34,640 --> 01:44:41,440
just feeding on Akane's negative emotions that is where he drew his power from so technically

1006
01:44:42,080 --> 01:44:48,800
this is just an escalation of that great man was for being of pure energy and through his

1007
01:44:48,800 --> 01:44:57,200
interactions with humanity got so powerful that he was able to do what Akane did on a grand scale

1008
01:44:57,200 --> 01:45:04,720
just basically doing everything inside this digital universe that he wanted to and I think

1009
01:45:04,720 --> 01:45:11,040
this we get an explanation for why he was doing it or why he was susceptible of an outside forest

1010
01:45:11,040 --> 01:45:15,840
making him do that because that's the secondary real it's not actually him who did that willingly

1011
01:45:15,840 --> 01:45:25,440
it's like this accumulation of Kaiju that turned to one big Kaiju consciousness that resulted

1012
01:45:25,440 --> 01:45:30,800
from bad energy like bad feelings of people so it's basically all their hate and negative feelings

1013
01:45:30,800 --> 01:45:38,080
of people that were put into that were formed into a Kaiju body and that Kaiju was sentient enough

1014
01:45:38,080 --> 01:45:46,160
to be like to feed on on grid man who felt guilt and regret over robbing Yucha of his memories

1015
01:45:46,160 --> 01:45:51,120
by fusing with him that is basically the crux the whole trigger point of this ha ha trigger point

1016
01:45:51,120 --> 01:45:56,960
of this where it's like hey Yucha lost his memory because of me he lost all the experiences

1017
01:45:56,960 --> 01:46:02,560
with his friend and everything because he decided to fight together with me to help destroy Alexis

1018
01:46:02,560 --> 01:46:08,880
and everything were imprisoned him and that is technically my fault that's how grid man feels and because

1019
01:46:08,880 --> 01:46:14,320
he felt guilty about that and regret over that he was susceptible to the manipulation by that

1020
01:46:14,320 --> 01:46:20,320
that Kaiju that bad energy Kaiju that kind of influenced him to remake the world over and

1021
01:46:20,320 --> 01:46:26,400
again and bring all these people together so Yucha could maybe remember and would have a good time

1022
01:46:26,400 --> 01:46:31,840
and everything he wanted basically wanted to give him his life back in a way in a weird way

1023
01:46:31,840 --> 01:46:38,320
and of course you know at some point he wasn't able to control anything really anymore because

1024
01:46:38,320 --> 01:46:43,040
he was just completely manipulated by the Kaiju the person who tries to get all of this under

1025
01:46:43,040 --> 01:46:50,800
control again is grid night and he eventually steps out of the shadow or manages to break through

1026
01:46:50,800 --> 01:46:58,000
the barrier that were set up by grid man and manages to get through to Yucha and through Yogomi

1027
01:46:58,640 --> 01:47:06,880
the other character from the Denizen on universe and then together they try to get rid of who is

1028
01:47:06,880 --> 01:47:13,040
controlling grid man and yeah that's the big ol finale of this what I found really cool was like

1029
01:47:13,040 --> 01:47:20,880
we get like life action arcane like in this cool mix media thing we see first see her eye looking

1030
01:47:20,880 --> 01:47:26,480
into the universe talking to Yuta this is really weird but also really cool and we see her outside

1031
01:47:28,240 --> 01:47:34,560
in the real world I assume that's the actual voice actress right of arcane from the first

1032
01:47:34,560 --> 01:47:40,800
I think it's a different person oh okay interesting I mean it could have been either way but I'm not sure

1033
01:47:40,800 --> 01:47:46,400
and she's standing there in this in the trash heap like would I get her version of that

1034
01:47:46,400 --> 01:47:54,320
junk computer whatever and is using her power to free Alexis and fuse with him and

1035
01:47:56,160 --> 01:48:02,800
distracting or fighting the Kaiju long enough so that they can get grid man back and like

1036
01:48:02,800 --> 01:48:09,760
basically tear him from from the control of the Kaiju and that's super cool the moment where she

1037
01:48:09,760 --> 01:48:15,040
like the live action version transforms into her anime version and then fuses with Alexis that's

1038
01:48:15,040 --> 01:48:21,440
just like some of the sort of the things that you really never see aside from Kusso anime I guess like

1039
01:48:22,080 --> 01:48:27,600
pop team epic and stuff like that where we have life action sequels and stuff like that but I was just

1040
01:48:27,600 --> 01:48:34,560
really neat and I thought there was really cool because you know we have the scene her that's how the

1041
01:48:34,560 --> 01:48:40,800
the original the SS as a as grid man show ended her like waking up and reaching for the sky which

1042
01:48:40,800 --> 01:48:46,080
matches the ED of that show and everything which made it come for the circle body and and now we

1043
01:48:46,080 --> 01:48:53,120
actually see her in a full full real life human form and everything an interaction with these

1044
01:48:53,120 --> 01:48:58,480
with these animated digital characters and it's super weird but also super cool it's like

1045
01:48:58,480 --> 01:49:05,040
it's just something you that I hadn't seen before and I liked it and we also get some cool vocal

1046
01:49:05,040 --> 01:49:11,120
tracks in the movie you know the we get renditions of the opi's from both shows and the movie theme in

1047
01:49:11,120 --> 01:49:18,880
the fights when everything at the ending like the animation goes super crazy overboard in the finale we

1048
01:49:18,880 --> 01:49:25,360
bless this super cool traditionally animated fight scenes that just go full trigger in every aspect

1049
01:49:25,360 --> 01:49:32,480
eh it's just so fun I think the thing that made me laugh the most was uh and of Cylis the second

1050
01:49:32,480 --> 01:49:38,800
transforming into just a giant lady that basically suits up with a machine cosplay version of her

1051
01:49:38,800 --> 01:49:46,160
Kaiju form and it was like wow this looks super weird what are you doing it's so goofy and out of

1052
01:49:46,160 --> 01:49:52,480
place uh and the show knows it and I love it and that was fun she you know she basically looks like

1053
01:49:52,480 --> 01:50:01,280
she's putting up a mecha version of the costume that uh utsumu where utsumu wears in the play uh

1054
01:50:01,280 --> 01:50:07,520
that they put up so again we have the meta narrative connection there and it's it's fun the show's

1055
01:50:07,520 --> 01:50:12,240
just the the movie is just having fun it's having fun with the franchise it's having fun with the

1056
01:50:12,240 --> 01:50:17,360
with the shows that they did before and all the characters like hey maybe don't take this all too

1057
01:50:17,360 --> 01:50:24,880
seriously it's just a big old nonsense fest but also we put a bit of a few story beats in it in

1058
01:50:24,880 --> 01:50:31,440
there that is super fun uh that are super fun like I mean we get some nice wrap ups to uh slightly

1059
01:50:31,440 --> 01:50:37,040
loose endings from the shows before I mean we already learned that yoga me and what is what is

1060
01:50:37,040 --> 01:50:43,360
this now girlfriend's name you may have believe me right that they went steady this is also a big

1061
01:50:43,360 --> 01:50:50,560
story that that Utah wants to go steady with Rika but doesn't is afraid to ask her or constantly

1062
01:50:50,560 --> 01:50:59,200
misses this moment in the most uh ridiculous ways uh and they are the counter points like well

1063
01:50:59,200 --> 01:51:04,640
we're boyfriend and girlfriend now why are you not and he's like well I'm trying guys

1064
01:51:05,520 --> 01:51:14,160
and I mean you know we get that um I mean there is that which is you know nice in the end and then there

1065
01:51:14,160 --> 01:51:22,240
was the scene between Yomogi and you may where he's like oh can I I think you to come over and have

1066
01:51:22,240 --> 01:51:28,960
crab with the family it's like I forget XA out there's like but you know I'm not part of your

1067
01:51:28,960 --> 01:51:36,000
family no no no no no no no no I think she says uh if you want to come over and have crab and she's

1068
01:51:36,000 --> 01:51:43,200
like isn't that for your family and he's like yeah so yes you're part of my family yeah yeah

1069
01:51:43,200 --> 01:51:50,880
yeah yeah yeah it's like oh completely rough as yes which is the first for her in this movie because

1070
01:51:50,880 --> 01:51:55,360
she's like oh that caught me off guard because she's kind of like cool and collected usually

1071
01:51:56,000 --> 01:52:00,400
so that was really nice yeah true I love that moment as well I thought there was really nice anyway

1072
01:52:00,400 --> 01:52:05,200
that is even the after credit weird after credit sticker we get I don't know if you watch to the

1073
01:52:05,200 --> 01:52:10,240
very end there what that after I was expecting something but she's like oh how's the crab that's

1074
01:52:10,240 --> 01:52:17,440
all right and that's it it's exactly it's technically exactly the fucking after credit scene from

1075
01:52:17,440 --> 01:52:24,000
the first Avengers movie where they all sit around in the in the showroom a place and eat it's exactly

1076
01:52:24,000 --> 01:52:31,440
the same thing and I laughed it was so good I was yes all right I forgot about that from that movie yeah

1077
01:52:31,440 --> 01:52:37,360
yeah it's funny it's super fun it didn't see that coming but yeah fun scene I thought they seen where

1078
01:52:37,360 --> 01:52:43,840
where night thinks Akane for creating him and she lovingly ruffling his hair after all the shit she

1079
01:52:43,840 --> 01:52:51,200
threw his way in the first series was really cute and rewarding same goes for a gamma slash Rex

1080
01:52:51,920 --> 01:52:55,840
and you're going to be finally getting to have a proper goodbye which they didn't get in dinosaur

1081
01:52:55,840 --> 01:53:01,200
because gamma was just transported back to the past I guess or I don't know reborn and then

1082
01:53:01,200 --> 01:53:08,560
taken to to joining the new in Genesis high school students has their new member in everything

1083
01:53:08,560 --> 01:53:13,520
but they finally get to have a proper goodbye and everything and that was really nice and you

1084
01:53:13,520 --> 01:53:21,680
get to keep his memories this time and yeah that is moment with princess he man yeah it was really nice

1085
01:53:21,680 --> 01:53:28,000
yeah the gamma so deserved this yes that was so really nice and real life Akane finally apparently

1086
01:53:28,000 --> 01:53:35,760
made some friends which we will see her joining we see her joining her in that cleanup that they

1087
01:53:35,760 --> 01:53:42,400
do on the riverside or whatever when they clean the trash and she has some some girls joining her

1088
01:53:42,400 --> 01:53:49,040
and they seem to be friendly and that apparently was I mean that was one of the big things the character

1089
01:53:49,040 --> 01:53:54,720
motivations in the first series that she didn't have that and wanted that so it's nice seeing her

1090
01:53:54,720 --> 01:54:01,760
getting that in real life as well so that was really nice and you to andrika finally go steady of course

1091
01:54:01,760 --> 01:54:07,360
by the end there really nice cute scene between the two of them being awkward together and yeah good

1092
01:54:07,360 --> 01:54:16,640
fiends all around man it's it's a super weird movie I you know it's high I think still I my opinions

1093
01:54:16,640 --> 01:54:21,840
are highly recommended spectacle but definitely watch both shows SSS as good man and done as

1094
01:54:21,840 --> 01:54:26,080
them before you see this otherwise it will be completely lost it will none of this will make sense

1095
01:54:26,080 --> 01:54:31,680
to you absolutely nothing it barely made any sense to the two people on this podcast to watch both

1096
01:54:31,680 --> 01:54:39,760
shows and like the and then we watch this like what is going on what hmm all right I think I got what

1097
01:54:39,760 --> 01:54:44,640
they were doing with this body and I wouldn't be surprised if the bad guy of this movie is a commentary

1098
01:54:44,640 --> 01:54:50,240
on fans and or rights holders being a bit too possessive in regards to the creative direction of this

1099
01:54:50,240 --> 01:54:56,320
franchise and this movie just being a giant fuck you we are the storytellers we do whatever the

1100
01:54:56,320 --> 01:55:04,640
hell we want message so what was the villain's name I don't know it doesn't matter doesn't matter

1101
01:55:04,640 --> 01:55:10,800
and well I just find it interesting that they never give him a name in the movie he had to look it

1102
01:55:10,800 --> 01:55:17,200
up after the fact be like what was he called is apparently it's mad origin okay that's fun

1103
01:55:17,200 --> 01:55:25,440
which oh yeah all right like I didn't have a problem with the meta commentary in this movie but

1104
01:55:25,440 --> 01:55:31,920
boy the way things kind of moved along just not gonna lie do I feel like this movie was maybe about

1105
01:55:31,920 --> 01:55:38,320
30 minutes longer than it needed to be yeah that's also true like I kept looking at the clock like how

1106
01:55:38,320 --> 01:55:44,880
much time is that Jesus Christ or so another it is a lot more beyond with a logical endpoint should have

1107
01:55:44,880 --> 01:55:53,040
been yeah it's true which really honestly frustrated me I get that but the thing is yes there was

1108
01:55:53,040 --> 01:55:59,920
been a lot of plates and I feel like for a movie that goes that long they would have needed a stronger

1109
01:55:59,920 --> 01:56:08,000
character through line aside from hey Utah and Rika want to become steady and also they're putting

1110
01:56:08,000 --> 01:56:14,480
on a play and you know which is basically that is the emotional core of this and by the end I guess

1111
01:56:14,480 --> 01:56:20,080
also hey every phone finally got to have their happy end which is also which they also bring up in

1112
01:56:20,080 --> 01:56:26,000
the in the talk about the play right we're one of Rika's classmates say like oh it's it's nicer

1113
01:56:26,000 --> 01:56:32,160
with all these characters everyone gets a happy end that's that's nice and it's like okay all right yes

1114
01:56:32,160 --> 01:56:39,920
we got it we got it but you know I that's fine and but you're right it's like you could have cut some

1115
01:56:39,920 --> 01:56:44,560
stuff from that I guess they felt like hey since we're putting already so many characters in there

1116
01:56:44,560 --> 01:56:51,280
we want to have some of the moments go a bit longer and you know we have already so many battles in

1117
01:56:51,280 --> 01:56:59,280
there and everything I guess it's just having two complete roses of characters from two full length

1118
01:56:59,280 --> 01:57:07,120
TV series in one movie and then having this one weird ass story where you also trying to say something

1119
01:57:07,120 --> 01:57:11,280
about the creation of these two movies and their after effects and everything and trying to give

1120
01:57:11,280 --> 01:57:16,560
everyone a proper wrap up everything it's just not possible so they went with like hey we're just

1121
01:57:16,560 --> 01:57:22,560
gonna throw shit at the wall mode and uh we're like yeah some of this works some of it doesn't but

1122
01:57:22,560 --> 01:57:28,080
doesn't it doesn't matter because we're having fun and eventually this is what it what matters to most

1123
01:57:28,080 --> 01:57:33,040
I can subscribe to that I guess in a way but also see your part where it's like this

1124
01:57:33,040 --> 01:57:40,800
Disney this like the bit of focus and also it just it needed to run shorter with what it was

1125
01:57:40,800 --> 01:57:46,720
giving us in terms of substance because it's basically just a battle royale with a lot of

1126
01:57:46,720 --> 01:57:54,960
character funny fun cute character bits in between but not a real story like it's just it's just

1127
01:57:54,960 --> 01:58:01,360
fighting it's cute character bits and then it's the meta commentary but the actual story and plot

1128
01:58:01,360 --> 01:58:06,960
are almost nonexistent in this movie it's just like although the universe is our overblapping

1129
01:58:06,960 --> 01:58:11,680
oh it's gripman who's doing that oh no it's the kaiju doing that okay we're beating the kaiju that's

1130
01:58:11,680 --> 01:58:18,000
it there's nothing real there I mean there's some twists and turns I guess but not really they don't

1131
01:58:18,000 --> 01:58:24,640
they don't feel as much because it's not like the show is making it this giant mystery the entire time

1132
01:58:24,640 --> 01:58:30,160
it's just like immediately saying no something isn't really right here and something is

1133
01:58:30,160 --> 01:58:34,640
with these characters but it's also so focused on the little character moments and these characters

1134
01:58:34,640 --> 01:58:39,280
from these two series interacting just having a fun time like it's a school play itself where it's

1135
01:58:39,280 --> 01:58:44,960
not really about the plot and everything but it's about the characters having fun with each other

1136
01:58:44,960 --> 01:58:48,800
and you as the viewer having fun seeing these characters interact with each other because that's

1137
01:58:48,800 --> 01:58:54,800
what you want from a crossover that works that works to a certain extent but also if you're looking

1138
01:58:54,800 --> 01:59:02,480
for an actual plot if you're looking for an actual story with with arcs of characters and acts you

1139
01:59:02,480 --> 01:59:08,720
don't get this here like you say this is a not it no absolutely not it's still a fun time it's a

1140
01:59:08,720 --> 01:59:14,400
big olspectacle it's good action it's some character moments it's some nice wrap-ups for stories

1141
01:59:14,400 --> 01:59:21,360
that were started in the first two series and those work but those only work because we had the

1142
01:59:21,360 --> 01:59:28,240
series before this movie this is because of the stellar character work in ss as as gripman this is

1143
01:59:28,240 --> 01:59:34,960
because of the not as stellar but very good competent character work in ss ss than a xenon

1144
01:59:34,960 --> 01:59:40,000
and this movie is basically just okay we we're showing you a bunch of ridiculous shit and then we

1145
01:59:40,000 --> 01:59:45,280
gonna have an apologue for all of these characters that we also could have put at the end technically

1146
01:59:45,280 --> 01:59:51,760
off those two series but we didn't so everything before that in this movie is just like goofball shit

1147
01:59:54,080 --> 01:59:59,840
so if that is fine with it it was fine with for me like it was just like okay I guess I know what you're

1148
01:59:59,840 --> 02:00:04,720
doing with this and I don't mind that this doesn't really have a story but I also can see like you

1149
02:00:04,720 --> 02:00:10,000
John like people getting kind of frustrated with parts of it and we like why is this why is this

1150
02:00:10,000 --> 02:00:16,960
not really going anywhere why is this going so fucking long so yeah I didn't mind it but I also wanted

1151
02:00:16,960 --> 02:00:22,240
a little bit just a little bit more of a con a cuz you know they yeah she was an important

1152
02:00:22,240 --> 02:00:29,760
character in ss ss grid man and Rika is harping on she was again a big part of the story I wanted to

1153
02:00:29,760 --> 02:00:38,080
be in this story and it's like yes yes okay and then she comes in she does her thing somewhat briefly

1154
02:00:38,080 --> 02:00:42,400
and then she's sort of just gone and it's like I mean yeah she did what she needed to but it's like

1155
02:00:42,400 --> 02:00:50,080
oh that really that's oh okay that's that's I guess again I wonder how much of that was

1156
02:00:50,880 --> 02:00:57,200
some form of outside meddling like maybe creative differences of people may maybe saying like oh I

1157
02:00:57,200 --> 02:01:01,920
didn't get the akana stuff and I didn't like a character that much in the original show and maybe

1158
02:01:01,920 --> 02:01:08,640
the original intention for the main writer or whoever was like no we're gonna bring a kind of

1159
02:01:08,640 --> 02:01:13,760
back and we're gonna make this you know the movie all about her and stuff like that and her

1160
02:01:13,760 --> 02:01:19,280
her play an important part and then someone else to maybe wasn't in a higher position or whatever

1161
02:01:19,280 --> 02:01:23,840
said no we don't want that we just want fun crossover with all the characters please put the focus

1162
02:01:23,840 --> 02:01:30,320
on that because that's more fun and that's what the audience wants uh ostensibly and that you know

1163
02:01:30,320 --> 02:01:35,200
meddled with the original vision and then because they couldn't really go against it the other

1164
02:01:35,200 --> 02:01:40,480
creator forces was like okay we got to do that but we're also commenting in the movie on that pissing

1165
02:01:40,480 --> 02:01:45,520
us off because we can't have what we actually wanted which is also what you wanted done maybe

1166
02:01:45,520 --> 02:01:51,040
uh more the focus on the akana stuff so that could very very be the case there are a lot of strong

1167
02:01:51,040 --> 02:01:56,320
there are a lot of points that strongly indicate that that is the case in in the in regards to what

1168
02:01:56,320 --> 02:02:01,200
they're doing with the play and everything and the meta narrative so I wouldn't be surprised I've

1169
02:02:01,200 --> 02:02:06,160
read up on any of this if there were actually production troubles or if there were conflicts of interest

1170
02:02:06,160 --> 02:02:12,560
in regards to the creative decisions of this movie no idea but again you can make assumptions

1171
02:02:12,560 --> 02:02:20,320
in regards to what is in this movie and what the movie is saying about certain creative

1172
02:02:20,320 --> 02:02:26,000
directions being taken or interfered with and everything so that's all I'm saying uh

1173
02:02:26,000 --> 02:02:32,400
but yeah if you yeah now you're probably right yeah maybe if you if you're interested

1174
02:02:32,400 --> 02:02:39,360
if you liked the first two series I would still have a little recommend you watching this movie

1175
02:02:39,360 --> 02:02:45,440
for the spectacle and the nice wrap-ups uh to the character stories alone everything else is

1176
02:02:45,440 --> 02:02:52,720
I don't even know what would call it gravy it's just nonsense and you don't don't pay too much

1177
02:02:52,720 --> 02:02:57,440
attention because you won't I mean you can pay attention at the play stuff because it's generally

1178
02:02:57,440 --> 02:03:03,680
interesting in regards to what it's trying to say maybe about the making of this but also don't

1179
02:03:03,680 --> 02:03:09,760
try to find an actual plot in this because there really isn't one but yeah that it was great

1180
02:03:09,760 --> 02:03:15,680
man universe uh definitely makes back but I have fun with it but since this is the season finale

1181
02:03:15,680 --> 02:03:19,600
for the full animation there's still one more thing we have to do

1182
02:03:26,960 --> 02:03:35,200
best of the season all right once more with feeling uh best of the fee best of the feeling best of

1183
02:03:35,200 --> 02:03:43,280
the season time john we reviewed a couple of things so where are you leaning what is what is the

1184
02:03:43,280 --> 02:03:49,840
stuff uh that that you want to go for with your for your pick of best of the season well you know

1185
02:03:51,280 --> 02:03:57,440
reviewed the tour de force that was uh shikanoko no konoko koshitan time yes

1186
02:03:57,440 --> 02:04:03,520
and that was a bit like kind of like right man universe but completely different also made very

1187
02:04:03,520 --> 02:04:12,320
little sense at point yeah um and then there are a couple other things that uh I checked out like

1188
02:04:12,320 --> 02:04:19,520
you know v2 per legend was cute I'm already been v2 perpilled so of course I was there to watch that

1189
02:04:19,520 --> 02:04:27,120
and you know silly it was fun it touched on pretty much everything except for uh except for the

1190
02:04:27,120 --> 02:04:36,160
thing that every v2 per fan hates and that's graduations which there have been plenty of and

1191
02:04:36,160 --> 02:04:44,880
not a plenty of this year in some coming next year that you know it's it's tough to talk about

1192
02:04:44,880 --> 02:04:49,440
but it's necessary when talking about v2 versus yes your oh she will eventually graduate but

1193
02:04:49,440 --> 02:04:55,600
but maybe they'll come back it's okay I won't tell you where to find them but you might be able to

1194
02:04:55,600 --> 02:05:03,440
so you know that was that uh there's oh shikanoko season two which I didn't want to talk about yet

1195
02:05:03,440 --> 02:05:07,200
because there's another season that has been announced is on the way and

1196
02:05:08,800 --> 02:05:22,480
boy uh stuff happened in season two like uh the found the rotting corpse of the main characters

1197
02:05:22,480 --> 02:05:34,560
previous life cool and that set off a lot of things where so I'll talk about that at some point but

1198
02:05:34,560 --> 02:05:41,280
that set off a whole new chain of events and it sort of shifted the focus sur from aqua to ruby in

1199
02:05:41,280 --> 02:05:54,160
yes uh but you know grandiser was it was it was a fun watch you know it again very of its time this

1200
02:05:54,160 --> 02:05:58,480
and that and the other thing but you know it was it was ultimately enjoyable I think

1201
02:06:00,160 --> 02:06:08,400
I think though I want to give it to near automata because it was just such it was different from what

1202
02:06:08,400 --> 02:06:14,800
I X was expecting of it and you know it was glad it wasn't a straight adaptation and I think it's

1203
02:06:14,800 --> 02:06:23,760
really cool that it can live alongside the game in that you get a more complete experience if you

1204
02:06:24,480 --> 02:06:30,720
watch and play it so and you know the production was really strong had you know all of the

1205
02:06:30,720 --> 02:06:39,120
same sauce as the games you know it had the the cool character designs had the incredible music so

1206
02:06:39,120 --> 02:06:48,480
as a big near fan myself you know it sort of hit just right and you know I feel like I can give

1207
02:06:48,480 --> 02:06:56,080
the big recommendation watch the show play the game if you can do one and that's fine but if you do both

1208
02:06:56,080 --> 02:07:03,120
then I think you are you have a lot better of an experience so I'm willing to put that as my best

1209
02:07:03,120 --> 02:07:07,920
for this season great and I can promise you I will do that it will just take me a bit of time still

1210
02:07:07,920 --> 02:07:13,200
making my way through replicant so eventually I get to automata after that I'm done with that I will

1211
02:07:13,200 --> 02:07:22,080
watch the anime I don't worry I still haven't finished replicant either so yeah near automata for you

1212
02:07:22,080 --> 02:07:30,160
as for me I like the chaotic energy of no kataan I would not say it's best off the season material

1213
02:07:30,160 --> 02:07:40,480
I enjoyed it like I said it's it's fun was doing a bit too much of hey that one joke after I

1214
02:07:41,760 --> 02:07:50,560
but it's still got still a lot of love from death I loved my open my own acupunch I think that would probably

1215
02:07:50,560 --> 02:07:59,280
have been until now until this episode my pick because it felt like fresh it felt like we're a bunch

1216
02:07:59,280 --> 02:08:04,080
of fun characters with strong character writing and a really really great finale I definitely

1217
02:08:04,080 --> 02:08:10,960
recommend that show to anyone who wants to see a fun setter on youtube culture terranita zero was

1218
02:08:10,960 --> 02:08:17,280
really interesting the best coming thing coming out of that franchise since forever and I I liked it

1219
02:08:17,280 --> 02:08:23,040
I'm looking forward to the next season if we get one and maybe then that will get best of the season

1220
02:08:23,040 --> 02:08:31,760
enjoyed at a lot but and like I said I really liked my hero academia season seven but I already

1221
02:08:31,760 --> 02:08:39,440
get the best of the season finally my hero academia season six that and I know it's a cheat since it's a

1222
02:08:39,440 --> 02:08:47,920
movie and not even from fall season really it's got to gotta be the first slant dank like that just I

1223
02:08:47,920 --> 02:08:53,600
know that's just the last minute thing and it's not a I didn't even give it a full length review

1224
02:08:53,600 --> 02:09:01,440
with credits of who made it and everything well a bit of credits here there but not not as substantial

1225
02:09:01,440 --> 02:09:06,720
and I didn't even talk about the original series because this just was a last minute thing for me

1226
02:09:06,720 --> 02:09:14,240
but I can't ignore it because it made me feel the the fields and the things and it was just to the

1227
02:09:14,240 --> 02:09:19,840
the the finale to a series I really like back in the day so it hit the nostalgia button for me

1228
02:09:19,840 --> 02:09:28,000
I think it's one of the best the best directed movies anime movies I've seen in or things I've seen

1229
02:09:28,000 --> 02:09:34,000
in forever because it's just it is also two hours long but boy does it not feel like it is two hours

1230
02:09:34,880 --> 02:09:41,360
like it just moves by so fast and it's so well structured and every one of the characters gets

1231
02:09:41,360 --> 02:09:47,360
enough time to shine for it to feel good and the incredible decision to move and both decision to

1232
02:09:47,360 --> 02:09:53,360
move the focus from the previous main character to one of the side characters and make him the main

1233
02:09:53,360 --> 02:10:00,080
character and this just working so perfectly in a standalone film and the presentation just

1234
02:10:00,080 --> 02:10:04,640
knocking it out of the park there to me and then the line and god damn what a movie like

1235
02:10:05,360 --> 02:10:13,360
just blew my hair back and came out of nowhere for me and I I can't I have to go with my heart even

1236
02:10:13,360 --> 02:10:18,800
though I feel like well if we go only with TV series I should have given to my opan and the only real

1237
02:10:18,800 --> 02:10:26,240
shared full movie review we did was universe but again also who cares exactly what the fuck we want

1238
02:10:26,240 --> 02:10:32,400
it's our show so I'm gonna pick the first slam dunk as my best of the season thing for fall

1239
02:10:32,400 --> 02:10:41,440
season 2024 because that's when I watched it so that's where it belongs there you go yes so

1240
02:10:41,440 --> 02:10:46,800
please watch that movie please watch the near automata anime and play the games

1241
02:10:46,800 --> 02:10:59,200
over the game and yes we'll see you next season where we don't have that many reviews probably

1242
02:10:59,200 --> 02:11:05,040
or two episodes I think from judging from what we watched probably I don't think we can bring three

1243
02:11:05,040 --> 02:11:12,400
out of that maybe maybe we'll lose something else we don't know yet there's something we might be

1244
02:11:12,400 --> 02:11:19,200
interested in doing but that has manifested yet so we'll see the season after that looks even more

1245
02:11:19,200 --> 02:11:26,320
dire at this point actually you will find out in the sneak peek because woof slim pickings I mean there's

1246
02:11:26,320 --> 02:11:32,160
a couple of things at least one thing for sure yes one thing for me as well yeah everything else is

1247
02:11:32,160 --> 02:11:38,320
kind of and then into I've been looking ahead even further than that there's like a first a

1248
02:11:38,320 --> 02:11:44,240
one for sure in spring one that I'm super interested in and then the other stuff is like oh maybe I'll

1249
02:11:44,240 --> 02:11:51,440
look this up yes so let's see there's a couple of potential things and there was always a thing

1250
02:11:51,440 --> 02:11:56,480
in the past was like there was a show I didn't have on my radar at all and then one of the preview

1251
02:11:56,480 --> 02:12:00,560
guides or whatever so hey this is about that and it's actually really good it was like oh well I guess

1252
02:12:00,560 --> 02:12:06,720
gotta check it out I think that was the case with Terminator 0 here so that wasn't in our sneak peek

1253
02:12:06,720 --> 02:12:13,600
so yeah this might happen again for now it just looks like it's gonna be slim picking but we have

1254
02:12:13,600 --> 02:12:18,800
at least a couple of things lined up for the next review season so there's that and maybe

1255
02:12:18,800 --> 02:12:23,840
something else so until then we hear at NMA Brinthrees we should happen holidays and or

1256
02:12:23,840 --> 02:12:30,560
