00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:30,560
Hello and welcome to an all new episode of Anime Breweries. We are your bloodsucking

3
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:36,960
automaton hosts. I am John and I'm CC. When there's just too much cool anime to watch,

4
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:40,720
we've got you covered. Today we unleash our content creator,

5
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:48,960
souls to give you our individual versions of the robot apocalypse. First, I will talk about the

6
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:54,560
Fantasy comedy Mayonaka Punch that pits a bunch of vampires against the mightiest of foes,

7
00:00:55,120 --> 00:01:01,760
the YouTube algorithm. Then John will show once again that he's the bravest of us all and dip his

8
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:08,400
toe once again into the cesspit that our video game to anime adaptions is time to review a

9
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:16,640
rather promising entry near Automata version 1.1A. Finally, I will time travel to the past to revive

10
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:22,640
a franchise that hasn't seen a really good entry in forever by reviewing the Netflix series Terminator 0.

11
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:28,480
Grab your selfie sticks and video game consoles because what else do you really need to brave the

12
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:32,560
nearing end of the world and definitely don't pause the pot, we'll be right back.

13
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:41,600
[Music]

14
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:47,840
Masaki's career on YouTube and so probably when the hype sisters decide to kick her out of their

15
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:53,680
group during a live stream. With her bad reputation Masaki has a slim chance of returning to popularity

16
00:01:53,680 --> 00:02:00,720
with a solo channel and she is plagued by comments of hate. Masaki soon meets Lever, a vampire who

17
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:05,920
just woke up from her slumber in which she dreamt of Masaki and developed an obsession with her.

18
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:11,520
Leaving this discovery will be the next internet sensation Masaki forms a pact with Lever.

19
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:18,000
An exchange for Masaki's blood Lever will help her reach the milestone of a million subscribers.

20
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:23,280
Now with the other vampires and Lever's house on board with Masaki's ambitious plan

21
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:28,720
she and Lever work together to film videos and restore her to career glory.

22
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:36,400
Mayona Kapanch is an original anime series that ran for 12 episodes. There is also Lightenov,

23
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:42,880
and Manga Adaption with the Manga Adaption still running. The show is produced and animated by one

24
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:49,440
of our returning favorite studios, PA Works, and staff wise it reunites some of the people responsible

25
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:55,200
for one of the reason PA Works series that Yu-Juan reviewed and were very fond of Ya Boy Kong Ming.

26
00:02:55,200 --> 00:03:03,600
We have the director Xu Hanma who also directed that series composition and some of the scripts

27
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,360
are done by Hideyaki Shira Sabah who also did a number of scripts for Ya Boy Kong Ming.

28
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:15,760
The other two writers, Sihiru Murjisuki and Yumi Susumori also worked on stuff like Umayuro and

29
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:21,760
Komi can communicate. The art director is Yuki Maeda who was responsible for a lot of the background

30
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:27,440
art and shows like Jujutsu Kaizen, Fate Zero, Psychoplas and Steinscape. And among the animation directors

31
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:37,200
and key animators we also have a bunch of Ya Boy Kong Ming people. So with the credits already out of the

32
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:44,240
way, the staff credits, what is this show actually about? The summary sound simple enough, we have this

33
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:52,560
YouTuber, sorry, YouTuber Masaki, she's in this group called The Hypesys who are like these three

34
00:03:52,560 --> 00:04:02,560
girls who do random videos of stuff and then get reactions out of that being cute. And the problem is

35
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:08,000
about this whole show and my experience with it is I don't know much about Japan's YouTuber culture

36
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:14,640
and how it compares to American YouTuber culture and what like the main focuses of a lot of the

37
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:21,120
videos, especially of the videos done by women and stuff like that or women groups. So this was all

38
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:27,440
very new to me and how it works and everything. But the setup of this is Masaki is being thrown out of

39
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:34,320
the group live during a stream because apparently she punched one of the girls, one of the other two

40
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:40,080
girls from Hypesys because she got angry at her and something like that. And now they're using it.

41
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:47,120
But also I'm not sure if that wasn't like staged to get views and now they're using that to kick

42
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:51,920
her out of the group because they don't like her controlling nature. I feel like the show makes that

43
00:04:51,920 --> 00:05:01,120
never super clear. It makes clear that Masaki is very hot-headed in certain cases and likes to punch

44
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:06,160
people if they really annoy her. So this could just be, have been a thing out of effect and whatever

45
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:11,280
like where she just did it. But also I'm not sure if because she has like this sometimes very

46
00:05:11,840 --> 00:05:17,680
new to Chris and extravagan ideas about how to raise fewer numbers and stuff like that and do

47
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:24,240
something outrageous. So that would also have fitted into that. So I'm not quite sure what actually

48
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:29,120
happened here. I feel like the show could have been a bit clear on that. But anyway, so she punched

49
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:35,040
one of the girls and they used that to throw her out and she of course gets a lot of hate from

50
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:41,120
the comments, you know, because you know the fan base about these kind of parasocial

51
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:47,920
tainted channels, content creators, whatever they can have like really die-hard friends who

52
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:53,600
immediately go against you if you go against the standard frame or hurt maybe sort of the people,

53
00:05:53,600 --> 00:06:01,840
some of your favorite people or whatever. A lot of people online get a very rabbit fan base.

54
00:06:01,840 --> 00:06:08,640
So the case here and I mean in this case it as well it was kind the reactions kind of justified because

55
00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:15,280
just go out and punch one of your teammates quote-unquote that the comments can get angry at that the

56
00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:20,720
problem is it doesn't stop. Like Masaki gets constantly docked piled when she tries to start a new solo

57
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:27,360
channel and when she tries to find new people to work with like the solo channel immediately when

58
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:33,120
she tries going for it, she gets a bunch of bad like troll comments and hate comments and

59
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:43,440
in the show interestingly these manifest in like these smoky black clouds of letters that jump

60
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:50,000
out of the screen and starts whirling around Masaki's head, right? Like it's this dark force that is

61
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:59,040
that is taking her captive and like strangling her and she starts to get very, she starts having a lot

62
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:06,000
of issues with actually going forward and doing stuff herself and that plays into what happens later.

63
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:13,840
So this top pick of her being really damaged through this experience and through this constant

64
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:20,400
dock piling is really well conveyed in the show because you always get to the point where she tries

65
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:24,880
to make a step forward in a certain direction and maybe tries to get in front of the camera again

66
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:32,800
and stuff like that and then she is like back paddling because she just immediately only sees the

67
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:37,760
bad comments. Like there might be a bunch of good comments on stuff she makes like later videos of the

68
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:44,640
girls with the vampire girls too but a lot of that she doesn't see she only sees the one bad comment

69
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:53,520
and that haunts her and she just focuses on that and I imagine that is a very real experience

70
00:07:53,520 --> 00:08:01,680
of content creators out there. It's like only the bad people who would scream the loudest matter to you

71
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,840
and that is exactly what happens to Masaki and it's kind of heartbreaking to see that because she has

72
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:12,880
a she is not perfect and I'll get to that because I love that about the show but deep down she seems

73
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:19,280
to be a pretty cool person and you don't want to see her just her livelihood and her passion and

74
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:23,840
everything like being completely ruined by people who really don't know that much about her only

75
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:30,640
know her online persona. So yeah that was really interesting, interesting setup and yeah then she tries

76
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:37,360
to find some new members and of course to DD she has this kind of round of job interviews and then

77
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:47,040
only like these this wide array of trolls opportunists like who try to do a video themselves like

78
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:53,600
hey I actually made through the jump interview of the infamous internet personality Masaki

79
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:58,080
what do you have to say about the fallout of what happened late and stuff like that right

80
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:07,760
and then some weirdos and like nothing nothing nothing of value was gained from these job interviews

81
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:15,520
so she's almost at the place of like giving up she gets super drunk at a bar which is also something

82
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:20,560
which media sticks out about the show does not just show about some high school girls trying to

83
00:09:20,560 --> 00:09:29,040
make it because a youtube star she is in her 20s, 20s something and that counts for all the people

84
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:35,120
in the show some some of them of course even older and of course I always appreciate that like if

85
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:41,040
we get out of the you know standard standard age range for a lot of animated are being produced

86
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:49,120
these days and this felt more like oh still far away from my current age but it's like okay she's

87
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:54,560
already like into real life with both of her feet and she's trying to make it and stuff like that

88
00:09:54,560 --> 00:10:00,960
and you know now there are some roadblocks so that was interesting so yeah she gets drunk at a bar

89
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:06,400
and then on her way home she's almost across this, she's almost over abandoned hospital

90
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:11,840
and she remembers that that was one of the first videos she did with her two friends that she

91
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:18,000
created the Hypsis with and she's like yeah maybe I need to go back to basics and

92
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:23,840
goes into the hospital starts doing a video oh it was like the spooky abandoned hospital let's do

93
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:29,840
a cool video about that and who else would she run into but a real-life vampire and that vampire is

94
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:35,680
Livea who is like I don't I would have called her life because that's how her name is spelled but

95
00:10:35,680 --> 00:10:42,160
everyone shows called her Livea so I guess it's that so Livea is this I don't even know how old she is

96
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:47,920
supposed to be, I think several hundred years or even older, she's at least the oldest out of her

97
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:57,440
group, yeah Hiko is I think only one hundred years old and we get to her but Livea is only only one hundred

98
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:05,040
yes yes she's the typical one hundred year old vampire lowly character but thankfully no

99
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:12,080
ache in this show in that regard so that was a very welcome change but yeah Livea is I think several

100
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:18,320
thousand years old or something like that so but she has been sleeping for 20 years like for the past

101
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:27,040
20 20 years and she just before waking up she dreams about a girl that says hey you can

102
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:32,080
have you can you can make a meal out of me you can drink my blood and

103
00:11:33,680 --> 00:11:40,640
then Livea is like oh my god yes I won't do that and then in real life she turns around in bed

104
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:45,920
and her hand lies right where the window is and there's sun so of course her hand catches fire

105
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:52,240
and she wakes up yeah there's a lot of slapstick in this show and that is one of the cases where this

106
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:57,120
happened and then she wakes up and she's like okay what has been happening for the last 20 years

107
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:03,360
and the only vampire that is currently around which is Hiko who is kind of doing has kind of like

108
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:12,000
the made responsibility I guess in the house she's cooking she's guess cleaning and she's trying to

109
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:17,840
keep things in order the problem is Hiko was turned into a vampire when she was a child

110
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:27,520
and she has retained a lot of let's say that simple world view that a child has

111
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:35,200
I don't know if it's a problem of her brain not being fully developed but let's say she's not the

112
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:44,080
smartest of the bunch no no and oh no well you know you have to pay the bills and everything for food

113
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:49,680
and stuff and the way away Hiko tried to do that is she invested in two stocks

114
00:12:49,680 --> 00:12:58,000
getting advice from YouTube videos for that and so of course the best place to get advice

115
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:05,760
of course she's now severely into debt and they have like blow chucks whatever the hammering at their

116
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:10,960
doors every every day which I guess vampires don't have that much of problem with but they have

117
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:17,680
money trouble so that is important for the setup because Hiko did some bit stock trading she was

118
00:13:17,680 --> 00:13:27,520
meaning well but you know she didn't figure it out so that's kind of fun and yeah then Hiko shows

119
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:33,200
leave her some YouTube videos because since liva has been sleeping for 20 years she doesn't know what a

120
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:38,880
fucking smartphone is she doesn't know what fucking YouTube is and she just shows that and how

121
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:46,080
what else should happen just in the also recommended section of that stock video for whatever there's

122
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:53,520
a video of of masaki and leave a see sir in the video and she's like holy shit that's the girl from

123
00:13:53,520 --> 00:14:01,920
my dream I need to find her I want to drink her blood and of course blood drinking the blood in this case

124
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:10,000
is just a thinly veiled metaphor for you know what right she wants she wants to do the dirty need

125
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:15,280
and also she is falling head over heels for that girl and leave us like I need to find that woman

126
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:22,720
and of course as fate will sit they ran into each other in said hospital and that's where the story

127
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:30,880
begins after a quick chase it's like masaki almost falls off the roof leave a catcher they have a short

128
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:37,200
flight masaki is immediately mesmerized by the world of the vampires and immediately see immediately

129
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:44,320
sees an opportunity to create some truly unique videos and thus she asks liva to start in her views

130
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:51,120
and if they hit one million subs liva can make a meal of masaki drink her blood actually the way she

131
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:58,560
says is you can you can drain me dry or something like that it's like a yo bone dry a yo

132
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:09,120
so that is really interesting like the show like I said the show doesn't hide doesn't really hide what

133
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:14,800
the drinking blood stuff stands for in this case which is true because they're vampires and you know

134
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:20,320
that's how they maybe can get around over around a higher age rating for some of the stuff that is

135
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:26,720
happening in the show I guess especially or at least considering how much liva is kind of you know

136
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:34,400
lasting for masaki she's it's not it's not super pervy like anything but you know some of the stuff

137
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:40,480
that is being said and how she is really all about masaki in a lot of ways I don't know if they were

138
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:45,040
talking about sex or love or whatever maybe that would be a bit more of a problem I have no idea

139
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:49,040
but yeah they use drinking blood which apparently is not as much of a problem

140
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:58,560
so there you go so um the wise person once said I have known writers who you subtext

141
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:07,280
and they're all cowards yes but yeah then they start like hanging out and of course there's some other

142
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:15,360
vampires uh iichiko are already mentioned there is also food is like this uh very um bashful

143
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:22,800
vampire girl who is who seems to be like she's on board with a lot of this stuff and she's interested

144
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:27,280
but like i said she's very bashful and she's like uh i don't know about this and also we later find

145
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:32,320
out she has some hidden interest and music and stuff like that and that's cool that's actually one

146
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:36,560
of the best episodes in the show where we learn her background like all the backgrounds of the

147
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:41,280
of the girls are kind of cool some more than others her's is definitely the best it's probably the best

148
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:48,480
episode in the show or one of the best and uh including the the two final episodes so yeah that

149
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:55,280
that was cool it's all about her and her old friend they try to start a music career but of course

150
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:59,760
food couldn't do that because she's a vampire and if you want to do an open air concert and brought

151
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:10,080
sunlight you have a problem so uh that going into that and the the kind of despair and depression

152
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:15,680
that resulted from food having to abandon her friend and having to realize that she can't have a normal

153
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:21,120
life like all the others because she's a vampire and then you know going on a little world drop to

154
00:17:21,120 --> 00:17:27,360
New York of all places and seeking out her old friend you know that was a really sweet episode

155
00:17:27,360 --> 00:17:33,040
kind of bittersweet uh due to certain reasons but also i really really like that episode so

156
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:39,840
who's a cool character she's very cute and she's uh she's interesting she seems to be the only girl

157
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:46,240
in the in the whole group who is actually really working like she's working part-time at the bar

158
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:52,960
of bathhouse so sometimes we also the scenery shifts there uh because she's just working there but

159
00:17:52,960 --> 00:18:02,880
yeah she's pretty cool um then we got and we got Toka Ge who is like this a bit older lady who is

160
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:12,160
very much into gambling and uh has a giant rack and uh she lost Pachinko and she is like

161
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:18,240
immediately on board with the youtuber stuff because she's like money money money money money

162
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:19,360
money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money

163
00:18:19,360 --> 00:18:25,840
and uh so she of course wants to get invested and wants to do her part and everything

164
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:32,640
the problem is she's an absolute slob which is fun this is actually one of the first uh video ideas

165
00:18:33,120 --> 00:18:39,280
that Masaki has because Toka Ge's room is such a goddamn mess she's like okay we got to

166
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:44,640
marry condo that bitch we're gonna just go through this fucking room and maybe we find some hidden treasures

167
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:49,040
because these this garbage has been here for like at least a hundred years

168
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:55,040
it's like okay we're gonna take a make a video of that and maybe something interesting is gonna happen

169
00:18:55,040 --> 00:19:02,000
so there's that ed aside from her money-grabbing antics Toka Ge is also pretty cool

170
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:11,040
and then the last character who is not that um present in like the first half of the show

171
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:18,960
is Yuki she's kind of the bus kill at first because she's like she's kind of like the watchdog

172
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:27,120
right she's like hey i'm here by order of big mother vampire like the the vampire that oversees all

173
00:19:27,120 --> 00:19:32,160
of this to watch over you guys so you don't do any stupid stuff and of course she immediately

174
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:38,080
interferes when they stop making videos and she's like can't do any videos that show us using our

175
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:44,720
vampire powers because we don't want to go public like we won't don't want the world to know that

176
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:53,680
their vampires can't do that and Masaki has to destroy all of her videos that she made and has to

177
00:19:54,560 --> 00:20:00,880
i mean she already in which was very smart when she makes the videos uh where they go flying and everything

178
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:06,640
and do like bunch of weird shit like surfing on the hood of a car and stuff like that which is all

179
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:12,000
not really dangerous for vampires but it looks cool if you think they're humans right uh she in all

180
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:16,800
of these videos she puts the notice in that these are special effects and please don't try this at

181
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:21,040
home so she kind of already accounts for that but that's not enough for Yuki and she says like no you

182
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:28,400
can't do that mother for bits it and uh so they have to find a way to work around that and but the

183
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:34,400
other girls are like hey we had so much fun doing these first couple of videos why don't we just do

184
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:43,600
normal human stuff but with us you know and that could be fun and Masaki after like a bit of

185
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:49,760
hesitation she's like yeah i can think of some things so before they did like i think they called it

186
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:56,000
they called their channel the choo cho girls uh because i think they were the one gimmick they had

187
00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:00,480
were like all the activities they were doing they were chewing on these choo choo sticks

188
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:06,880
these sweet sweet sticks or whatever whatever they are i guess it's some kind of like a pixie sticks

189
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:11,040
yeah something like that but now they can't display that power anymore but they still want to make

190
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:16,160
videos so they so they decide to create a new channel and leave it comes up with the name the name

191
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:22,720
mayona ka punch mayona ka because vampires can only go out at night and punch because Masaki got

192
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:29,440
canceled because of the punch she threw and it abbreviates to myo pun so myobrat mayobrat

193
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:35,360
which is dumb fun so we got a hit name here folks and that becomes a new channel name and thus it's

194
00:21:35,360 --> 00:21:43,040
also the name of the show of course and um yeah and then we go from here later Masaki also moves

195
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:49,920
into the house and uh yeah then they try to do videos and that's basically the whole show that

196
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:59,440
like happens in episode real four and then we just have a bunch of video ideas okay what am i

197
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:05,840
gonna do we we need to find some new stuff where masaki just throwing all things at the wall

198
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:09,440
that she thinks might be interesting and looks what tries to look what sticks

199
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:14,640
at not all of it does and she needs time some time to figure it out like i said because of the dog

200
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:19,680
piling after her fallout with the hype sister's masaki now suffers from imposter syndrome and

201
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:24,240
is worried her ideas and with shit and that all the success of her previous channel came from the

202
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:30,720
other girls so she tries to first of all she stays off camera for the entire time like even though

203
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:34,880
she kind of wants to be in front of the camera but now she doesn't want to anymore because she doesn't

204
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:40,640
trust herself that she's gonna fuck it up so she leaves it entirely to the girls and like i said

205
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:44,240
there are a bunch of positive comments on her first couple of videos with the vampires and she rakes

206
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:50,080
several 1000k view counts and rising but despite that she gets hugging up on every stray negative comment

207
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:56,480
describing the videos as boring and similar and of course this whole show is about her getting over

208
00:22:56,480 --> 00:23:02,960
that that's kind of the main focus outside of having like this slice of lifey every new episode

209
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:09,520
this is stupid new video idea and we'll see what happens with crazy vampire and takes mixed into that

210
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:17,120
like there's this episode where the girls go to and do like this survive a weekend or a week on a

211
00:23:17,120 --> 00:23:23,920
on a deserted island challenge and that is kind of not a big of a deal for vampires but then they

212
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:29,520
realize they left the blood bags at home and then everything comes becomes very desperate very

213
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:34,800
quickly and also very funny but yeah that's kind of like one of the stupid ideas masaki has and

214
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:40,640
again she throws everything at the wall while she's doing that and while we get more and more videos

215
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:44,560
ideas we also learn more and more about the characters of course i already talked about

216
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:50,800
who's background story we also get a bit of itchy cospecs around story while she is so invested in

217
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:57,520
having dinner together with the other girls even though vampires don't really need to eat but she's

218
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:04,560
like i want this half this as a social socializing event because you guys are my real family because i

219
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:08,880
you know lost my family when i was a kid and then i was turned into vampire i didn't really have that

220
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:14,160
and you guys are the first people i would consider family so this is very important to me and that

221
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:20,480
becomes a important plot point as a at some point in the show which was very nice but of course we

222
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:27,440
also learn a lot about masaki not so much about i guess leave her herself a bit at the end that

223
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:34,240
is very important but also not really super deep or anything i mean nothing about the show super

224
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:38,480
deep but like i feel like there's a bit more substance to some of the background stories of the other

225
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:44,480
girls but still what we learn about leaving in the in the end ends up being this nice full circle

226
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:49,760
moment with how the show is set up in the beginning and what we see in the beginning so that was

227
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:54,480
also very cool and on set of that the main focus is definitely on masaki like cheese of course the main

228
00:24:54,480 --> 00:25:00,560
character this story is about her getting over the sump that her being cancelled and everything

229
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:08,560
matter fall into like falling into the spit of self-doubt of like i said imposter syndrome

230
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:14,400
suffering from that and also depression and only seeing the negativity and all the stuff

231
00:25:15,360 --> 00:25:21,920
that she produces and everything and being way too strict versus self and also because of that being

232
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:28,560
strict with others we learn that making videos watching videos was the only thing that masaki got

233
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:36,400
masaki really interested in something in school and everything and it also made her find her too

234
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:42,160
i must assume best friends at that point who the she then created the hypothesis with because they

235
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:49,200
were also very much into video creation on youtube so that was a big part of her life it's not like

236
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:54,480
this just this fling right there's like i have a hobby and i would do no she's really really into

237
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:59,120
that and it feels like really important to her so of course when that kind of breaks away like this

238
00:25:59,120 --> 00:26:06,160
foundation of course that would leave a big hole in her life and it's not so easy to fill that

239
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:11,520
even with like a cool group like the vampire ladies from um bonpai manner which their house is called

240
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:21,360
and uh it's really fun but yeah like i said in the beginning or most of the show she is

241
00:26:21,360 --> 00:26:26,400
refraining from being on camera herself and is only producing for now because she's still got

242
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:32,080
the bad comments stuck in it also vampires are not supposed to associate with humans and leave

243
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:38,240
is a bit to the point that masaki not being an active part of the fun like she wants to spend as much

244
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:43,600
time active time with masaki because she obviously is fond of her she obviously loves her

245
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:51,760
love at first side kind of thing and she's like every time masaki is back paddling every time masaki is

246
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:56,800
leaving the uh in front of the camera experience to the other girls completely she's like oh man but

247
00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:00,800
i wonder i wonder you were also part of this you're part of the school but i want you to be part of

248
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:06,880
this fun and not just holding the camera and editing the video and everything but you know it takes

249
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:14,000
some time for her to speak her mind on that what also liked is that the show is also interested in

250
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:22,640
like the technicalities like how how actually the the youtube stuff slash the youtube stuff works like

251
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:29,040
what what kind of work actually goes into that like editing the stuff doing good thumbnails

252
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:34,560
finding good ideas and you know using keywords and all that stuff it doesn't get super deep into it

253
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:40,800
because then it would probably drag but it gives like a very brief introduction how to create a new

254
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:48,000
a youtube channel upload a video it omits in certain parts how work intensive some of the steps

255
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:54,800
like editing can be but it even but it sometimes mentions that it's now more common if you can afford it

256
00:27:54,800 --> 00:28:01,680
to actually employ an an an editor who edits the videos for you not do it yourself but masaki is

257
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:06,720
still doing all of that herself at this point she's she's very passionate about all of this all the parts

258
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:14,240
of the process sadly the new channel doesn't do nearly as well uh masaki tries a bunch of different

259
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:19,360
ideas but even though they make a lot of videos they don't even get to 10,000 views total

260
00:28:21,120 --> 00:28:28,720
yeah so masaki goes into panic mode a bit but then the stuff with toka gay happens and that gets a

261
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:34,400
bit more hits and it's kind of adorable how much at least leave an echeco get into the whole thing

262
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:40,080
like echeco because she's so hyper she's the hyperactive kid coded character of the group who is

263
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:45,200
just having a lot of fun with it but leave her well also very bouncy and hyperactive is definitely

264
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:50,160
going in for masaki's sake she has quickly taken a shine to her outside of the whole gets to suck her

265
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:59,200
dry if the if she's if the succcees feel but yes it's really it's it's phrased like that in the show so

266
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:05,280
i'm not i'm not exaggerating yeah oh no i'm not saying i don't believe you it's just you say it's like

267
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:16,960
yes but yes and so the never ending hunt for content begins there's some generally good jokes in the

268
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:21,920
show you know aside from all the physical slapstick comedy there is this moment where they clean up like

269
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:28,560
i said toka gus room and echeco is like you have to probably separate the trash for recycling and the

270
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:35,920
others are like but you put plastic bottles with combustibles and then echeco is like ah but you see

271
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:41,840
when you burn plastic bottles due to the chemicals in the plastic the flame turns green so it's a green

272
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:49,280
initiative oh my god shut up that kind of cute me at that's not how it works echeco you stupid kid

273
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:56,000
but yeah it was really fun and we got a bunch of humor like that in the show so

274
00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:01,840
good stuff i liked a lot of the jokes in the show they were really like that was several left out

275
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:06,320
well moments in this and the girl's dynamic is just good and that's also kind of a plot point

276
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:15,920
later you know they slowly crawl up the view ladder but after a while masaki teachers leave out to edit

277
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:25,600
but doesn't per uh doesn't per se let her try her own editing style and pacing her like her experience

278
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:30,960
gets the better for her and she becomes a bit of a despot she like demands excellence of at every step

279
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:35,840
because she demands that of herself as well you know mostly of herself which of course pieces of

280
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:41,280
leave it because she only wants to help and masaki has to learn a valuable lesson that sometimes the

281
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:47,040
best way to more subs is not having the perfectly streamlined scripted and edited videos but sometimes

282
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:53,280
letting her performers persona's breath letting some of their real identity and relationship shine

283
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:59,040
through in their interactions without cutting that out and that's what people attach themselves to

284
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:05,520
so don't always trim the videos into oblivion but go more with the flow and she also needs to realize

285
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:12,080
she can't and doesn't have to do all by herself that's what led her to breaking up with hype sis in the

286
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:18,320
first place and finally enough funnily enough that resonated very well with me because if you remember

287
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:24,320
in the beginning i want to do everything myself or show like the title cards the editing the publishing

288
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:28,960
which bird me out a bit and at some point you convinced me to let you handle at least the artwork

289
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:35,120
artwork which was a very good decision so hey i'm just trying to help release a little bit

290
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:40,080
yes i'm very grateful for it and i found something to relate to in this show because of that so

291
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:45,120
it was really really interesting and i always like if when there's like this personal note

292
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:52,880
personal note i could connect to in a show in general this has kind of a like the the whole show has

293
00:31:52,880 --> 00:32:00,160
kind of a zombie landscape view to it like taking some well placed jabs at the profession it's focusing

294
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:06,320
on but also professing its love for it which was very much zombie landscape if that title work was for

295
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:13,600
you in that show it might be for you here of course there are no big music numbers to top it off at

296
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:17,280
least not in every episode i think we can like two episodes we actually have a musical number

297
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:27,840
but also no bad CG concerts so with some you lose them um but yeah that's what that's what the first

298
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:35,200
show i was thinking of when watching this was like oh this really feels like zombie landscape it's not

299
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:41,920
a mapper show but it definitely feels like paeos is going for the same vibe with this and i don't know

300
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:47,600
if your boy coming also try to go into the territory because it was also kind of going with like a

301
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:54,800
performer job right and going with the passion but also trying to remember what you said about it in

302
00:32:54,800 --> 00:33:01,840
the yeah boy coming review it also regularly took a jab at some parts of that business too correct

303
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:09,520
oh yeah definitely took a book or a page out of uh right there was a song by a tribe called quest

304
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:17,440
and one of it says industry rule number four thousand and eighty record company people are shady

305
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:24,320
and definitely kong mean lean into that at least a little bit to show like yeah you know

306
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:34,320
oh keep this in mind everybody well i guess it worked out yeah but yeah uh what i also liked and i

307
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:41,680
mentioned this before is that everyone is very flawed in this show different ways um i mean most

308
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:47,200
of the vampire girls are so broad and over the top most of the time they feel like caricatures

309
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:52,240
but masaki has some grit to her the parts of her personality that lead to her falling out with the

310
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:58,240
other two hype cis shines through very often we also get an episode where she and the girls visit

311
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:03,920
her childhood home and it turns out she has been quite a shitty big sister to her baby sister Sakura

312
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:10,720
actually the worst and it's nice that the show is not afraid to show these rough edges on its main

313
00:34:10,720 --> 00:34:16,960
girl while still managing to make her sympathetic regardless my opinion that made her feel more

314
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:22,560
like a real person which is quite a feat considering all the ridiculous nonsense happening to and

315
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:28,960
around her i mean you watch these kinds of shows you know cute girls doing cute things and also work

316
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:33,840
companies more which this kind of is more than me john so you can probably better speak to how often

317
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:40,320
the main girl is or isn't a little miskind and perfect and how often she is kind of more rough

318
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:45,200
when it comes to her characterization and being actually a very flawed personality i don't know

319
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:50,720
how many of the shows you watch actually have that kind of person in it i mean it kind of goes back

320
00:34:50,720 --> 00:34:57,520
and forth on that so it it's not he constant i mean finally enough fruit brass fruits basket

321
00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:05,600
a show we both love starts like that with tolu being presented as this perfectly nice girl who takes

322
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:13,120
care of everybody and then slowly realize oh no she's damaged almost beyond repair which affects

323
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:18,240
everyone around her negatively probably one of the many reasons why that show resonators are well

324
00:35:18,240 --> 00:35:24,480
with me and why i love that very much and i feel there's a bit of that in here as well when it comes to

325
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:30,640
mosaic ewe's like the show doesn't though the show doesn't pretend anything like it did in

326
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:37,200
fruits basket it immediate test so here is this pretty problematic person hashtag problematic

327
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:46,240
with a temper big old temper and who is actually or has at least not been that great to some people

328
00:35:46,240 --> 00:35:53,760
in her life because she you know she is just a personality problem but deep down she is actually

329
00:35:53,760 --> 00:36:00,560
a cool person that's also kind of like the the exclamation mark at the very end of the show and how

330
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:06,960
all of the stuff about her and leaving everything like by the end falls together which i really

331
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:11,840
appreciate it i'm considering the rest of the show the final two episodes are actually quite

332
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:17,120
dramatic an action pack which is also nice kind of the epitome of the phrase well that escalated

333
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:23,200
quickly and we get this great climactic finale with a really satisfying finish which i kind of

334
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:27,520
didn't see coming from this show i expected this would just end and we're like hey we're gonna make

335
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:32,640
more videos and eventually we're gonna reach it reach the goal of one million subs but at some

336
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:37,920
point the show introduces a ticking clock because mother vampire is like hey you have to reach

337
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:46,560
one million subs until that and that date or the house that you demolished partially in one of

338
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:52,400
your previous video making endeavors will not be reconstructed and instead will be completely torn

339
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:58,240
down and you have masaki you have to leave and the others are going some other place

340
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:04,720
and so you know they're a bit of a bind i need to find quickly a way to rise more subscribers and they

341
00:37:04,720 --> 00:37:11,520
do several different things some of which are very hilarious but you know and then by the end we get to

342
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:18,080
a very like whether so suddenly takes on a very different tone and it gets very serious and

343
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:22,960
dramatic and everything but it works and then yes like i said we end up on this really grateful circle

344
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:31,600
thing and it felt really fucking good like i really enjoyed it i'd have a head a tear in my eyes

345
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:38,480
in my left right even at some point i really really liked it and considering this is mostly a

346
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:44,080
gag show i like i said i did not expect that but yeah there was some really really good stuff in here

347
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:50,800
and yeah like i said i don't know how i create this show is to japanese youtuber culture since i

348
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:56,640
don't watch japanese youtubers i assume if you're into that scene you will find some even some more

349
00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:59,840
stuff in here where it's like oh i get what they were referencing that is fun

350
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:07,520
i have like one japanese youtuber that i watch regularly so that's pretty much it for me

351
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:12,640
yeah but maybe even then you would get more out of this i don't i don't follow any japanese

352
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:19,680
youtubers i think i got some out of did and out of that and i got some reference and stuff stuff

353
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:25,280
as some stuff they talk about in regards to what the work is and how you do the job and everything

354
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:30,960
so that was interesting and like i said everything else that is not specifically tailored to that

355
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:36,160
and it's just comedy and everything just worked for me it's just like i said fun dynamic all the girls

356
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:42,640
are fun together masaki is very fun and interesting character and i think that this is an

357
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:50,960
absolute jaun show to be honest so i'm kind of curious why you didn't pick it up or why it did it

358
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:55,760
didn't jump on your radar or where you just completely packed with shows already and it wasn't

359
00:38:55,760 --> 00:39:00,800
interesting enough to make you take a look at it because i feel like at least if you watch the first

360
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:05,520
maybe two episodes you would be couldn't immediately hooked with this because this seems like

361
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:09,680
it's playing completely in your ballpark so it was just interested why you didn't pick this one up

362
00:39:10,240 --> 00:39:15,360
it just kind of passed me by i guess i don't know if there is anything more simple than that okay

363
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:20,800
well yeah that happens sometimes considering we just get pretty or something more new shows each

364
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:27,120
season but yeah this is one of those cases where it's like hey if you for one reason or another

365
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:32,480
half like hey i want to tackle my backlog again i i recommend you putting that in there because i

366
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:39,120
feel like that's kind of a show made for you it's like oh and in a lot of in a lot of episodes i was

367
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:43,520
like oh i would like this i think june would like this i think june would really like this so

368
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:51,280
yeah this this feels like it's has the right mix of humor of comedy of the girls being cute of some

369
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:57,680
nice uh i don't even want to call them tear jerky moments but some nice like emotional high point

370
00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:04,240
moments like i said especially the finale and i feel like this is something and of course it's

371
00:40:04,240 --> 00:40:10,480
pa work so it's very well animated it's a very pretty show um had to mention that of course

372
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:16,000
in our city with four us i said before i'll say it again they always throw themselves

373
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:22,880
full on into everything they do regardless of how weird it can sometimes be

374
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:31,440
and this is very that's a this is a very weird show like no it sounds like it worked so yes exactly so

375
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:39,440
yeah they they it's all the passion for this thing uh like oozes out of the screen uh the people

376
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:45,040
that were making that like it's so cartoony in certain parts it's so much fun it's so energetic

377
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:53,680
dynamic like there's so much fun banter in it and so many cool freaky fucking video ideas that they

378
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:58,080
try to realize and then something goes wrong and it makes it even funnier and more interesting and

379
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:05,120
stuff like that like yes it's it's a show you can binge very well it's a show that you can watch like

380
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:10,800
one episode each week very well it's just a lot of lot of fun good for winding down and just having

381
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:17,600
a good old laugh like the show worked really well for me i enjoyed it a lot i recommended to pretty much

382
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:23,040
everyone who is into comedy and who is into who maybe watches a lot of youtube videos and everything

383
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:30,240
definitely is for you and yeah check it out it's on crunchy roll and if you're in a slump suffering

384
00:41:30,240 --> 00:41:35,040
from imposter syndrome and think the whole world is against you focus on the people that help you

385
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:41,280
enjoy the things you do either by doing them with you together or supporting your content and of course

386
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:51,360
most importantly of all fuck the trolls and haters

387
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:58,480
video games we like them

388
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:10,640
they're all right they're pretty good hey so what happens would you do an anime adaptation of a video

389
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:18,320
game usually nothing good i mean that's harsh how many video game adaptions have we talked about in

390
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:25,760
our podcast so it's a couple at this point right like what did we have some PSO stuff

391
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:30,960
yeah we had fantasy star online we technically had princess connect i guess yeah

392
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:37,280
which side note here side note there might be a new anime project

393
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:47,200
hey looking forward to that i mean i feel like at this point the cliche curse i mean we like to

394
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:54,640
joke about this but the cliche curse of anime adaptions or in general like screen adaptions

395
00:42:54,640 --> 00:43:02,960
for video games it's not that prevalent anymore maybe it never was but it's like for every bad one you

396
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:08,400
also maybe get a decent one and it all depends on the source material and how well it translates

397
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:13,360
to the screen and of course it all it also depends on the people making it if they know why the

398
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:20,320
why the game is great and then actually think about how to translate that to the screen and not

399
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:25,840
are like just okay this is this is in the game and we put that on the screen and actually it doesn't

400
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:30,400
fucking matter because you didn't pick what was actually interesting about the game you didn't

401
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:40,720
pay attention so yeah near automata version 1.1a does things a little bit differently because

402
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:48,640
yoko taro who is you know probably i guess you could see it's like one of the main creative driving

403
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:54,240
forces behind like a draking guard and near and some other stuff and i know it's terrible to

404
00:43:54,240 --> 00:44:02,080
ascribe this sort of thing to a single person but he a lot of this series has come out of his head

405
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:11,360
so you know obviously the work he did with like platinum and squaring x and you know the animation

406
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:18,880
team at a one pictures you know this kind of brought that all to bear because he did a lot of the writing

407
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:26,800
and rewriting for the anime more of an author character both in the game space and now in the anime

408
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:32,720
space then get maybe from some of the other people i mean excluding hideo kojima maybe uh

409
00:44:32,720 --> 00:44:39,440
us but say i don't know if he's quite genius kowjombo but but he's he's got his own ideas and he's

410
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:45,760
willing to execute on how crazy they are yeah a lot of i guess a lot of the stuff that he puts into

411
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:53,040
the games actually manages to shine through and not get lost in this big worked on a lot of people

412
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:59,680
so maybe that's why people have been clinging to him being like the driving force because he

413
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:06,080
hindered a lot of the stuff that makes the games he is partially responsible for good and why they

414
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:13,120
like them and it sounds like that also worked its wonders on the anime apparently

415
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:20,560
yeah because um all right for those of you don't know uh near atonata is the sequel to

416
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:28,720
near replicant slash gistalt depending on which version of that first game you play um

417
00:45:30,240 --> 00:45:40,320
the broad strokes uh overview of the story of otomata is in a post apocalyptic world overrun by alien

418
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:48,480
crafted machine life forms humanity is preparing for its last stand forced to retreat to the moon for

419
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:54,800
safety humans are pinning their hopes on a group of man-made androids known as yorha soldiers

420
00:45:55,520 --> 00:46:04,080
led by the all-purpose battle android your high number two type b also known as to b

421
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:12,320
she's the one she's the girl yes the bug girl right uh yes sorry don't want to be reductery by

422
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:18,240
you know i yes that's that's what that's what a lot of the talk was about when the game came out

423
00:46:18,240 --> 00:46:22,640
aside from hey this game has a really cool story and aesthetic and everything was like oh

424
00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:30,880
look at that main characters cheeks it's not forget that tarot has said this is you can quote him

425
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:38,800
every single one of two these appearances is cannon for appearance in sole caliber six it's cannon

426
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:44,960
the grand blue fantasy oh that's cannon too shut up they're all cannon don't ask questions

427
00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:53,200
very interesting i mean i i don't know much about otomata story i still still making my way to

428
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:57,680
replicate right now i wanted to get both games done before we recorded this episode because of

429
00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:08,320
course of course that didn't go expect that that but i'm interested to see how this would work my guess

430
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:16,080
as multi-dimensional stuff you know multiverse whatever we'll see we'll see if that holds true

431
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:25,120
when i actually played the game i'm very interested to find out but um we'll see uh it's but it is

432
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:32,640
very funny that he is like outspoken about that and it's like no no no he is he is not needed a secret

433
00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:38,480
it is and you know it's the best way to just explain it everything away i say well how is he

434
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:46,400
shut up it's cannon okay all right then yes uh led by the all purpose battle android to be

435
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:53,040
the group will fight to take control of the earth back from its invaders as war against the machines

436
00:47:53,040 --> 00:48:01,120
rages on the yorhah slowly begin to see the first shards of truth underlying the brutal conflict

437
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:07,520
facing the harsh reality before her the unwavering warrior 2b starts to question her very

438
00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:14,000
existence and just how much she must sacrifice for the sake of humanity thank you at mael rewrite

439
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:19,280
for that he's some dub way better than i could have because i would be bringing in outside knowledge

440
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:33,360
does is beyond that um so they split it across uh two two seasons two quarters um and the first season

441
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:40,800
is sort of a merger of the story routes from the game a and b

442
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:52,640
where a is 2b story and v is 9s 9s is also a yorhah android uh estonotes that he is a scanner type and he

443
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:59,280
does a lot of like gathering and analyzing of information is that reflected in the game place

444
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:06,800
there are difference between the two or um in gameplay 2b can carry two weapons like a light

445
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:16,080
weapon and a heavy weapon and 9s only has one weapon but he can hack enemies and they take control of

446
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:21,360
or like heavily damage them and there are certain like treasure boxes throughout the world that

447
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:25,760
on your first playthrough on route a you just can't open but you can hack them open on your

448
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:32,640
subsequent play interesting i assume this also kind of then plays into the enemies the enemy the

449
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:39,440
depiction of those characters yes but like i said what they did is in the game you play through

450
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:47,760
those two stories separately so but since the the pretty much happened concurrently it makes sense

451
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:53,200
in the show that they're sort of told at the same time and it worked and i think it works better

452
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:58,480
that way because if they ran through two b's have this story and then they were like oh turn the

453
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:03,760
clock back we're gonna do it again i probably would've been like mmm i don't know if it works that well

454
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:12,960
dudes so i think it's a lot better the way they did it there's a character and i'm going to

455
00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:21,280
mostly for cc sake but also for the listener's sake not die too deep into spoilers but there are changes

456
00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:29,920
that are apparently right away like in the game when to be a nines arrive on earth from the bunker

457
00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:37,840
which is like this this orbital base that your hug gets deployed from when they arrive on earth

458
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:43,600
and they go to like this ruin city and they meet with the resistance leader in the game it's this

459
00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:51,200
lead he named anemone and you know she's there she's leader of the base of operations down there

460
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:55,280
briefs them on the situation ask them to help out with do things but in the show

461
00:50:55,280 --> 00:51:03,360
it's this character named lily lily's existence is touched upon in the game

462
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:13,040
because here's where we get to get into some weird stuff lily is a character from a stage play called

463
00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:24,000
your hug version 1.05 and there's also a tie in manga called your hug pearl harbor descent record

464
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:33,520
and it's a title yes yes yes and things happen differently where

465
00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:40,080
where one character ends up being the survivor of one but not the other

466
00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:47,760
okay so it gets played out differently depending on whether you're seeing the game or watching the show

467
00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:54,160
I mean this kind of fits with what the games are probably already doing I can only make

468
00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:59,360
assumption because like I said I haven't played you know tomato but reppelican the thing about that

469
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:04,320
is if for people who don't know you already talked about the different routes

470
00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:11,600
not only get you do you get different perspectives from the characters in the subsequent for

471
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:18,560
different characters subsequent playthroughs but that also a results in you getting different

472
00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:27,120
perspectives on the story some reveals about the actual plot being like saved for later playthroughs

473
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:32,240
where it's like oh this was this this was what all this was about this is how this happened this is

474
00:52:32,240 --> 00:52:40,240
how this happened and also if I'm not mistaken this changes some things already in the game change

475
00:52:40,240 --> 00:52:46,000
in later playthroughs and you only get the real ending of the game at least that's how it works in

476
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:50,800
Reppelican and I assume that's how it works in your tomato after you've played through the game

477
00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:57,440
four or five times not all parts you you don't have to play through the entire game from beginning

478
00:52:57,440 --> 00:53:01,840
to end that's how at least not how it's is a near replicant I don't know how it is exactly

479
00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:09,040
near automata like the second playthrough of near replicant starts in the second half of the game

480
00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:14,560
and then you play through it again but you also get like John said some perspective from different

481
00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:23,200
characters and that changes the pacing that changes the structure of the game a bit so yeah the

482
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:30,480
structure the high level overview of the structure in automata is that your first playthrough is as

483
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:37,520
to be that is your route a yeah your second playthrough is 9s that is your route b because a lot

484
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:43,760
faster because you're kind of moving along the plot points faster you everything that you have

485
00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:51,040
like your gear your equipment your levels carry your money all carries over so you're spending less

486
00:53:51,040 --> 00:54:05,200
time doing all the bat yeah and then C and D are additional plot C and D are weird because they're

487
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:12,400
kind of the same story thread but one is one branch right at the end and one is the other and

488
00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:18,320
then after you see both of those branches then you can go to E and then you get like your quote

489
00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:23,680
unquote true ending and then there's a whole mess of other joke endings beyond that F through Z

490
00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:30,320
and delta so there's a lot yeah yeah yeah this weird time paradox endings and stuff like that I was

491
00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:36,880
assumed but that meaning there's you know there are actually a bunch of different story paths through

492
00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:43,040
this until you get to the weird thing hearing about them changing stuff for the NMA adoption sounded

493
00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:51,680
to me like oh okay so this is just gonna be like either an alternate reality retelling of the story

494
00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:58,000
or just like maybe the the final final true ending that is even set after the true ending of the

495
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:04,400
game so I assume it's one of those one once all the settings done I mean you don't have to give it away

496
00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:10,160
but I assume that's where they're going with this or is it just another perspective on already

497
00:55:10,160 --> 00:55:16,320
established things happening in the game from this new characters perspective uh well Lily

498
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:24,160
just kind of it feels like she sort of takes the place of an M&A up to a certain point because

499
00:55:24,160 --> 00:55:35,040
she's she's talking to 2b like she knows her there's a reason for that but it's not it's not

500
00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:41,600
apparent unless you have first played the game or you know what's going to happen later on because

501
00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:46,880
there's someone else who factors into the story and I'm like we put that out there but there's

502
00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:52,960
something else that happens much later on much deeper on and it's a lot of it's a lot it's a lot

503
00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:59,680
that happens so would you say it is mandatory to play the game first because you would definitely get

504
00:55:59,680 --> 00:56:07,360
more out of it or would you say there is enough the story from the game is put well enough together

505
00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:13,360
for the anime uh and you get an out of that and the pacing is good enough and so on the characters

506
00:56:13,360 --> 00:56:19,200
get enough screen time that it would be also fine to have the anime only experience or would people

507
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:25,840
be completely lost if they only watch the anime and not have played the game I mean you could watch

508
00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:30,960
just the anime there are some things that you might have some question marks about that they kind of

509
00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:39,200
do answer within the shell of the show but I honestly really feel like if you want to get the

510
00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:50,800
most out of it you want to watch the show and play the game I don't believe you would have to make

511
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:56,400
one be first over the other like I feel like you could do one and then the other or the other

512
00:56:56,400 --> 00:57:01,920
way around not like you you would have to like oh you need to play the game for you watch the show now

513
00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:08,160
I feel like you could do it either way and still be able to see both ways how the story was told

514
00:57:08,160 --> 00:57:14,160
but you only get the full experience if you do both yeah like I and I really honestly believe that

515
00:57:14,160 --> 00:57:20,480
you can live doing one over the other but I think doing both gives you like the full picture

516
00:57:20,480 --> 00:57:30,560
of all of the things that Taro wanted to do because there is an article on a website called

517
00:57:30,560 --> 00:57:38,960
GameRant of all things but they they said it best in the title of this article that it is

518
00:57:38,960 --> 00:57:48,560
an adaptation not a recreation okay interesting there have been other mixed media projects like this like I

519
00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:55,280
think Scarlett Nexus in particular like I only heard good things about the game but I guess the

520
00:57:55,280 --> 00:58:02,960
anime was kind of like yeah because it was like basically a copy paste job as far as I know yeah I mean

521
00:58:02,960 --> 00:58:08,000
then that's for people who don't want to play the game which is also fine I guess but you know that's

522
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:15,760
valid but also you know the game is already so anime fight and maybe it's just in for time saving I

523
00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:23,040
guess but that's like with when years ago when we talked when I talked a little about a little bit

524
00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:32,240
about Dan Garnerone but you can watch the adaptation of the first game but it cuts a lot of

525
00:58:32,240 --> 00:58:37,920
character details out and you do yourself like you can watch it but you do yourself a

526
00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:43,200
disservice by not playing the game I mean that's the first thing that suffers and I assume that's

527
00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:50,800
also the thing recent adaption of sandland I mean you can read the manga which came first anyway but

528
00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:56,560
you probably get more stuff maybe some interesting character brings out of the game then out

529
00:58:56,560 --> 00:59:03,440
of the anime that also was just recently released I just say I mean that depends always sometimes this

530
00:59:03,440 --> 00:59:07,840
can also result in the games feeling more padded because you know you get all the side mission stuff

531
00:59:07,840 --> 00:59:16,400
and everything and let me abound padding and side missions and fucking near applicant Jesus fucking

532
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:22,560
Christ PS3 s game design I don't have a mission doesn't worry there's there's plenty of side missions

533
00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:27,040
in not how much I say well it all depends on what kind of side dishes say it hard but

534
00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:36,000
anyway that's for another time let me put it to you this way near automaton is a 25 hour game that

535
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:44,480
I made into a 70 hour game because of one ending well I won't do that I just I want just the

536
00:59:44,480 --> 00:59:50,720
main endings I don't care about anything else but because there's how much I have to do there but

537
00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:58,400
yeah anyway so a big part of this because you also said it was a split season a bit thing I

538
00:59:58,400 --> 01:00:04,000
heard about this adaption is that it ran into production issues I think the big production issue

539
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:13,360
is due to covid in the first season okay as there were several delays around because that was

540
01:00:13,360 --> 01:00:21,760
I mean it's 2023 when obviously covid has not gone away but that's you know I guess

541
01:00:21,760 --> 01:00:30,080
it was a bad time around around then for them it has gotten a bit better now smart people

542
01:00:30,080 --> 01:00:39,440
vaccinated and so on so yes but then the second season you know it they were working on it for a while

543
01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:48,720
I guess and just I didn't hear anything about production issues after that okay that's good to

544
01:00:48,720 --> 01:00:55,680
hear how is the animation I mean a one can go either way I feel like absolutely beautiful

545
01:00:55,680 --> 01:01:01,920
ah it's great to hear this show looks magnificent from the first moment to the final dude

546
01:01:01,920 --> 01:01:11,680
is this an issue with the CG of the plane form or whatever oh yeah the CG when they were in the

547
01:01:11,680 --> 01:01:19,040
flight units was a little yeah but that they didn't linger on that too long so it was like okay

548
01:01:19,040 --> 01:01:24,960
all right and I mean the pods are also CG but you know to make sense or just flowing they're

549
01:01:24,960 --> 01:01:34,640
doing their pod thing talking and being little weapons for 9s and 2b okay well then that's fine

550
01:01:34,640 --> 01:01:45,360
I mean they they did something different with the pods at the end as well that did they kind of

551
01:01:45,360 --> 01:01:51,600
implied is what sort of happens at the end of the game but it's not really shown as such in the

552
01:01:51,600 --> 01:01:57,680
game but it's neat what they did with them so I was like oh they know they get to do a little something

553
01:01:57,680 --> 01:02:03,920
neat with them that's cool I like that even even these two like characters you know who are

554
01:02:03,920 --> 01:02:10,240
basically just there as support or you know they still get to do cool things in the end so

555
01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:17,440
neat I like that a lot but yeah obviously the music in the show is phenomenal because it's mostly

556
01:02:17,440 --> 01:02:22,640
just lifted from the games and that's I have no complaint about that if you get a great soundtrack

557
01:02:22,640 --> 01:02:30,000
just reuse it the way like persona forwarded is it the same composer as a near-replicant yeah right

558
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:39,360
I believe it's a k-eo-kabe yeah I like the music is one of the best things in my opinion about

559
01:02:39,360 --> 01:02:43,520
near-replicant so I assume it's also the same thing for sure tomato because

560
01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:49,360
it fits very well with the atmosphere of the world like giving you this

561
01:02:49,360 --> 01:02:55,280
it's so good they also used it in Final Fantasy 14

562
01:02:55,280 --> 01:03:01,920
and why wouldn't you I mean like that is like of course you have like the sweeping orchestral

563
01:03:01,920 --> 01:03:06,960
battle hymns with choirs and everything but you also have like this really nice

564
01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:17,200
cozy melancholy tracks I would say like where it's like very soothing but also kind of sad and it

565
01:03:17,200 --> 01:03:21,120
happens when you're traveling through the world and you get like this feeling of oh adventure but

566
01:03:21,120 --> 01:03:27,040
also kind of sad adventure and everything and everything is falling apart a bit because this is

567
01:03:27,040 --> 01:03:33,040
kind of a post apocalyptic setting so I really like the music in near-replicant I'm looking forward

568
01:03:33,040 --> 01:03:39,360
to hearing the music in your automata the other characters that they do a little bit more with

569
01:03:39,360 --> 01:03:48,400
in the show is the commander of your hawight because she in the game is sort of is very stoic

570
01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:55,200
in the you know there's a little bit of that in the show but we get some behind the curtain

571
01:03:55,200 --> 01:04:01,360
scenes with her they're like oh okay she had she had some other stuff going on too that we never

572
01:04:01,360 --> 01:04:08,960
got to see so there's a bit of elaboration on certain things as well with that there's also

573
01:04:08,960 --> 01:04:15,280
addition to the switch between lily and in eminade there's another character switch that they

574
01:04:15,280 --> 01:04:22,400
sort of work in as well but I'm not going to say that so they they they do they do

575
01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:29,680
Geralt of Rivia no Jerry of the river is not in there I mean I already said the screen is so

576
01:04:29,680 --> 01:04:39,920
kind of a six so it might have happened they also had some winks and nods to replicant and gestalt

577
01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:46,640
as well that are like if you know this thing then you know what it is but it didn't really feel

578
01:04:46,640 --> 01:04:51,440
like he was much more than surface level but you know that's also I think that's might be a little

579
01:04:51,440 --> 01:04:59,040
up to interpretation as well depending on how you see how things are done so was it was it overall

580
01:04:59,040 --> 01:05:06,560
satisfying like I mean if you already knew the story from from the game that's a different perspective

581
01:05:06,560 --> 01:05:12,480
as taking it as a standalone story but did you feel like it did enough interesting stuff

582
01:05:12,480 --> 01:05:18,320
from different from the experience you had with the game that you were like oh yeah I definitely

583
01:05:18,320 --> 01:05:23,920
enjoyed this plus of course the gorgeous animation and everything is is that how you came away from it

584
01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:32,240
or with like oh this was a nice add-on but also I wouldn't have like wouldn't have been super sad if I

585
01:05:32,240 --> 01:05:38,560
hadn't didn't have didn't get to experience this after playing the game I mean obviously this is

586
01:05:38,560 --> 01:05:47,920
something that they didn't need to do but squaring if it loves money so at least I it makes me

587
01:05:47,920 --> 01:05:55,040
glad that they give their writing team the freedom to be like hey let's do things a little bit

588
01:05:55,040 --> 01:06:03,120
differently this time around I mean heck there's even a character who shows up in the final episode

589
01:06:03,120 --> 01:06:11,120
ties in to something to other things that Taro has worked on so I don't quite know it's not quite

590
01:06:11,120 --> 01:06:16,000
evident how they are going to work it into other things I don't know if maybe they're trying to be

591
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:22,080
like we're gonna do this in with the mobile game as well I don't because I know this one characters

592
01:06:22,080 --> 01:06:28,560
in a certain other game well I mean if two bees appearance in other games is canon and why not

593
01:06:28,560 --> 01:06:36,720
that character's appearance in in your in the near-automata anime I guess but this character has not

594
01:06:36,720 --> 01:06:46,480
been named dropped specifically and their role is still kind of you know across all the appearances

595
01:06:46,480 --> 01:06:56,880
they made is not 100% clear so maybe that will be made apparent with time I don't know I don't plan

596
01:06:56,880 --> 01:07:05,520
to I think they were also mentioned in near reincarnation I don't have much interest in sitting down

597
01:07:05,520 --> 01:07:12,960
and playing that just a mobile game in gotcha and I haven't found a gotcha I could really latch on

598
01:07:12,960 --> 01:07:21,600
to since princess connect so I don't I haven't found any good good good for you I mean I guess then

599
01:07:21,600 --> 01:07:26,240
I'll play chronic and stew is a gacha game kind of on also the gacha aspect of it I didn't give a

600
01:07:26,240 --> 01:07:34,320
shit about so I guess that's a little different though yeah I was assume because I mean reincarnation is

601
01:07:35,280 --> 01:07:43,680
a little early on and it feels they came much slower and much more deliberate in its pace and like

602
01:07:43,680 --> 01:07:51,520
the English language version of another game called heaven burns red just launched and I feel

603
01:07:51,520 --> 01:07:55,760
like those two games are kind of cut from the same cloth because they feel like they want to be

604
01:07:55,760 --> 01:08:01,440
visual novels more than anything else well that you could also say that about parts of I don't know

605
01:08:01,440 --> 01:08:06,320
about near automata but definitely about near replicant there's definitely walls of text in

606
01:08:06,320 --> 01:08:11,840
automata so I mean you worry I don't I never know or at least for those two games I don't know if

607
01:08:11,840 --> 01:08:16,560
that like is actual authors and tend or if that is like I want to put the story in there when we

608
01:08:16,560 --> 01:08:20,960
don't have the budget to actually put it into the game as gameplay so I'm just going to have a wall

609
01:08:20,960 --> 01:08:31,360
of text so yeah but it's a bit of putting for me it's like I don't well don't ever play Xenoghiers

610
01:08:31,360 --> 01:08:41,840
then I mean it's still like in Xenoghiers I would say it is mostly concentrated to the second part of

611
01:08:41,840 --> 01:08:47,120
the game that definitely wasn't finished and we know the reason why it is that way for that game

612
01:08:47,120 --> 01:08:54,800
it was not intended to be like that and it's still like pays differently and it's presented

613
01:08:54,800 --> 01:08:59,280
differently at least in a partially interesting way in certain parts and it applies with gameplay

614
01:08:59,280 --> 01:09:05,520
sections and I feel like with near replicant and then probably also with the automatic I just

615
01:09:05,520 --> 01:09:12,560
just having fucking white like 30 pages or 40 pages of white text on black background

616
01:09:12,560 --> 01:09:21,280
maybe with a bit of music in there that you can't do a big more with that I don't ever feel like

617
01:09:21,280 --> 01:09:27,680
an automata it's quite that okay to that extent like yeah the you have your text of walls but it's not

618
01:09:27,680 --> 01:09:35,360
like going on and on I mean one of the walls of text gives like one of the best lines in the game

619
01:09:35,360 --> 01:09:42,720
that catches everyone off guard the first time they read it so I look forward to when you play it

620
01:09:42,720 --> 01:09:48,000
you get to that point and you're like what do you mean what does that mean what am I supposed to

621
01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:51,600
take away from this I got that you're telling me that because it definitely skipped some of the

622
01:09:51,600 --> 01:09:59,040
wall of text in your replicant it's like because they seem like side bits but now then I'll

623
01:09:59,040 --> 01:10:03,280
we later get some about the main characters I didn't skip those but you have some side missions where

624
01:10:03,280 --> 01:10:10,080
you also get wall of text and just random stories about some side characters from the game I was like

625
01:10:10,080 --> 01:10:16,880
I don't care. As far as I remember in a time of time it's relegated mostly to the main story like well

626
01:10:16,880 --> 01:10:25,680
there's a little bit there's a little bit in the DLC the Delta part which is still I still honestly

627
01:10:25,680 --> 01:10:32,240
feel like when I played through the game I like stumbled into the DLC just very organically and I

628
01:10:32,240 --> 01:10:37,280
played through it and I was like oh well that was actually kind of a really interesting story

629
01:10:37,280 --> 01:10:42,960
on the side so they made it work real well in that so interesting I mean I think I have the

630
01:10:43,680 --> 01:10:53,920
game of the your heart edition so it should have the DLC in there anyway and yeah so yeah I'm definitely

631
01:10:53,920 --> 01:11:01,920
gonna play the DLC as well it's just you know when my brain starts zoning out when I just get

632
01:11:01,920 --> 01:11:09,200
not interestingly visual novel aspect in the game I mean I don't play visual novels as well because

633
01:11:09,200 --> 01:11:15,520
of that reason because if I want to read a story mostly instead of playing it I'm gonna read a book

634
01:11:15,520 --> 01:11:21,680
and not play a game because reading off the screen for extended periods of time gets exhausting for me

635
01:11:21,680 --> 01:11:29,040
and I need some gameplay intermission with that and if it doesn't happen after a while I just

636
01:11:29,040 --> 01:11:34,640
just drift off that was a big problem with me in the last Odyssey actually I love the game but

637
01:11:34,640 --> 01:11:40,880
you know you had you had so many dreams yes then we felt like thousand years

638
01:11:40,880 --> 01:11:47,520
I know I get that but they're so well written I know I know I tried I didn't read all of them

639
01:11:47,520 --> 01:11:52,400
but I tried to read most of them because they were some genuinely interesting stories in there but

640
01:11:52,400 --> 01:11:58,560
some of them went so long and I was like oh god I want to get back to the actual game and yeah I

641
01:11:58,560 --> 01:12:03,200
had some of that experience in your applicant even though it's not even remotely as big and

642
01:12:03,200 --> 01:12:07,520
has as many stories so it's not that big of problem it assume it won't be as big of a problem

643
01:12:07,520 --> 01:12:12,320
near automata but I assume in the anime there's not a big wall of text that you have to read instead

644
01:12:12,320 --> 01:12:20,480
of actually watching the show that would kill the pacing yes that's but yeah I'm an enjoyer of

645
01:12:20,480 --> 01:12:28,320
the ends even though the last one I read was oh god was the last one I read Danganronpa two or

646
01:12:28,320 --> 01:12:35,680
Steinscape but Steinscape is a 50 hour game if you go through and read all of it but the payoff is

647
01:12:35,680 --> 01:12:42,240
incredible so I'm sure obviously your mileage will vary but I guess in the case of Steinscape apparently

648
01:12:42,240 --> 01:12:48,400
the anime was a really good adaptation so I heard as well yes so you know that at least with that

649
01:12:48,400 --> 01:12:53,840
feels like there is that alternative I don't know how much they cut out because you know they

650
01:12:54,480 --> 01:13:00,720
obviously they have to but yes I mean there's always the thing like if you want to get the full experience

651
01:13:00,720 --> 01:13:08,160
and I mean in your automata is what both play both you know what I mean but in a lot of cases like

652
01:13:08,160 --> 01:13:13,600
if you want to get the full experience go to the source material like you will never I mean

653
01:13:13,600 --> 01:13:20,480
that's a broad statement but you probably will never find an adaption that completely lifts

654
01:13:20,480 --> 01:13:26,000
up to the experience that doesn't mean that it can make it better like if you're like if you're

655
01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:31,280
like hey this maybe goes into too much detail for me and I like the stream like the experience then

656
01:13:31,280 --> 01:13:37,120
you might like the adaptions in certain cases or the adaptions add something to it which you know

657
01:13:37,120 --> 01:13:42,960
your automata apparently does as well where it's like oh this is not happening actually in the source

658
01:13:42,960 --> 01:13:49,520
material which makes the story more interesting so that makes the adaption worth watching and everything

659
01:13:49,520 --> 01:13:54,320
and then if you transition from a different medium to another then there are a bunch of things that

660
01:13:54,320 --> 01:13:58,480
get added to that that make it more interesting either way or maybe a solution that is more suited to

661
01:13:58,480 --> 01:14:03,200
your tastes for example if you go from manga to anime adaptions right you got the still page and now

662
01:14:03,200 --> 01:14:08,080
you got all that shit animated you got voice acting you got music of course it's from the presentation

663
01:14:08,080 --> 01:14:12,880
standpoint alone that might make it more enticing for people it definitely does for me I mean I like

664
01:14:12,880 --> 01:14:18,560
reading manga but if I have the choice and if the anime adaption is not absolute dog shit I would

665
01:14:18,560 --> 01:14:26,400
always go for the anime adaption because I'm like I just prefer this these additional belts and

666
01:14:26,400 --> 01:14:36,800
whistles that an anime adaption can provide so it's always heavily depends on what you're looking for

667
01:14:36,800 --> 01:14:44,400
and what you what you what you want to put the focus on and what is more important to you so

668
01:14:45,280 --> 01:14:52,000
it seems new automatic automatic is one of those rare cases when it's like yes play the game but also

669
01:14:52,000 --> 01:14:57,760
watch the anime if you want to get the real full experience with which I think is very aware in the

670
01:14:57,760 --> 01:15:03,920
if not only in the general adaption space but definitely in the anime in the video game to

671
01:15:03,920 --> 01:15:10,000
anime adaption space yeah I'm glad they made it work as well as they did because if it was just like a

672
01:15:10,000 --> 01:15:16,000
one-to-one I mean yeah I would have been fine but it wouldn't have made it interesting so

673
01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:25,200
crazy bastard yoko taro out there telling all these weird stories and rolling on the uh ground

674
01:15:25,200 --> 01:15:34,400
cussing out his employer in certain ads that's a thing that happened of course it's still also

675
01:15:34,400 --> 01:15:42,880
wearing always this weird costume from one of the games of one of the characters yes you will find

676
01:15:42,880 --> 01:15:50,960
out what that is okay but yeah that is a thing that he does in public okay okay I mean that looks

677
01:15:50,960 --> 01:15:55,120
like one of the characters from New Replicate as well so I don't know if it's the same character in

678
01:15:55,120 --> 01:16:02,240
your automata or something similar to that I can make some assumption how that will actually be

679
01:16:02,240 --> 01:16:06,240
integrated into the story of what we'll see I'm very interested to find out I'm also very interested

680
01:16:06,240 --> 01:16:12,640
to eventually watch the anime adaption to get the full experience but it's gonna be a while but

681
01:16:12,640 --> 01:16:20,640
eventually it will happen so glad to hear they actually pulled it off and made it work and it looks

682
01:16:20,640 --> 01:16:26,000
good it has it sounds good because they use the same soundtrack and apparently it's also written

683
01:16:26,000 --> 01:16:30,800
well and paced well and yeah glad to hear it glad that you had a good experience with it yeah I'm

684
01:16:30,800 --> 01:16:37,920
glad they took a risk on doing some different stuff and made it you know a lot more a lot more fun and

685
01:16:37,920 --> 01:16:48,080
multi-dimensional where could we see was where can people watch it and check out your automata on

686
01:16:48,080 --> 01:16:53,200
crunchyroll.com for all your anime goodness not all of it but a lot of it

687
01:16:56,080 --> 01:17:07,680
fairly sized chunk of it yeah a flainier automata and maybe watch it too well do one or the other just

688
01:17:07,680 --> 01:17:25,040
experience is is good 2022 a future war has raged for decades between the few human survivors

689
01:17:25,040 --> 01:17:32,480
and an endless army of machines 1997 the AI known as SkyNet gained self-awareness and began its

690
01:17:32,480 --> 01:17:38,960
war against humanity. Cop between the future and this past is a soldier sent back in time to change

691
01:17:38,960 --> 01:17:45,200
the fate of humanity arrives in 1997 on the search for a scientist named Malcolm Lee works to

692
01:17:45,200 --> 01:17:49,920
launch new AI system designed to compete with SkyNet's impending attack on humanity.

693
01:17:49,920 --> 01:17:55,600
Malcolm navigates the moral complexities of his creation he's hunted by an unrelenting

694
01:17:55,600 --> 01:18:00,320
mechanical assassin from the future which forever alters the fate of his three children.

695
01:18:01,200 --> 01:18:06,320
Will Malcolm's invention be able to save humanity from its demise or would it doom them to their

696
01:18:06,320 --> 01:18:13,280
ultimate annihilation. Terminator 0 is an original series that ran for eight episodes produced by

697
01:18:13,280 --> 01:18:19,200
Netflix SkyDance no breaks and most importantly produced an animated byproductonid which of course

698
01:18:19,200 --> 01:18:23,520
we have talked about many times in the past most recently in my review of kind you number eight.

699
01:18:23,520 --> 01:18:30,080
The show was developed and written by Matson Tomlin a rare American credit in the anime landscape

700
01:18:30,080 --> 01:18:36,080
though Terminator 0 is his first TV series Tomlin has written several movies at this point among them

701
01:18:36,080 --> 01:18:44,000
project power which I heard wasn't great little fish and mother slash Android and he did some

702
01:18:44,000 --> 01:18:48,320
uncredited script revisions on the recent the Batman movie and is writing the sequel to that.

703
01:18:48,320 --> 01:18:56,320
And believe it or not he's a co-writer on the script for the live action mega man movie that is

704
01:18:56,320 --> 01:19:05,680
currently in development. Yes it has been in development for a while but he apparently is one of the

705
01:19:05,680 --> 01:19:12,640
current writers so the guy is definitely into robots and hey I can say that much if he brings the

706
01:19:12,640 --> 01:19:18,720
same writing chops to the mega man movie that he brought to Terminator 0 I am definitely now a bit

707
01:19:18,720 --> 01:19:24,560
more optimistic than I was before in regard to that particular project. The director of Terminator 0

708
01:19:24,560 --> 01:19:30,720
is Masahiko do who has worked on the hiatus the comment battle series Bleach and Hunter Hunter

709
01:19:30,720 --> 01:19:35,760
the actor is Masano Buenomura who also did the art direction on a bunch of other shows for example

710
01:19:35,760 --> 01:19:42,960
Cyberpunk et runners the new Uruza Yatsura 86 little witch academia and much more. The music was

711
01:19:42,960 --> 01:19:48,480
composed by Michelle Burzky and Kevin and Horn who also did the music for one of Tomlin's other

712
01:19:48,480 --> 01:19:57,520
writing credits mother slash android so yeah of course Terminator 0 new incarnation in the long-running

713
01:19:57,520 --> 01:20:04,800
very storied Terminator franchise I don't know John have you watched any of the Terminator movies?

714
01:20:04,800 --> 01:20:13,360
Well it's Arnie the good of the bad guy in that one.

715
01:20:16,000 --> 01:20:22,160
I don't think he was the good guy so probably T2 yes I think T2 is what most from our generation

716
01:20:22,160 --> 01:20:28,960
watched that was definitely the first Terminator movie I saw the sweet age of 11 I think you want to

717
01:20:28,960 --> 01:20:35,920
live yes the first two Terminator movies are good but second one is great in my opinion each in

718
01:20:35,920 --> 01:20:42,560
their own right the third one is tolerable everything that came after that is kind of shit like

719
01:20:44,480 --> 01:20:50,640
I don't even know what the fourth one was called it was with Sam were thinking in the main rule I

720
01:20:50,640 --> 01:20:57,680
think salvation right that was kind of a drag I mean they changed the script for that and kind

721
01:20:57,680 --> 01:21:02,800
of killed the more more interesting version as far as I remember then we had Terminator Genesis which

722
01:21:02,800 --> 01:21:10,000
was absolute dark shit recently we had Terminator dark fade which was pretty good but apparently didn't

723
01:21:10,000 --> 01:21:16,720
do well so probably not gonna get another one in that time and with those characters I think we had

724
01:21:16,720 --> 01:21:21,040
also a series of Sarah Kronachronikils I only watched like one episode or two episodes of that

725
01:21:21,040 --> 01:21:27,200
apparently it was pretty good it's summer glow in it but yeah that's kind of all this Terminator

726
01:21:27,200 --> 01:21:37,200
stuff that we got some games of course and the movies yeah very mixed bag only the first two are

727
01:21:37,200 --> 01:21:45,840
really good and everything else is kind of like alright so I was kind of hesitant when you know watching

728
01:21:45,840 --> 01:21:53,680
this I was like I'll see how this works out Netflix show and also yeah I don't know the writer has

729
01:21:53,680 --> 01:21:59,680
done that much interesting stuff I've seen before and we'll see but actually really like the show

730
01:21:59,680 --> 01:22:07,440
John was pretty damn good pretty fun some some really interesting sci-fi stuff in there and takes the

731
01:22:07,440 --> 01:22:14,000
Terminator for Terminator franchise to some interesting places so yeah it opens up in 2022 with

732
01:22:14,000 --> 01:22:19,600
this resistance lady a co-fighting a Terminator and Bailey escaping it that first fight is a bad

733
01:22:19,600 --> 01:22:25,200
as introduction to her I feel like she almost never gets as bad as again later in the show as she

734
01:22:25,200 --> 01:22:30,240
doesn't this she gets in some places but definitely this is bad as introduction for her and for the

735
01:22:30,240 --> 01:22:36,880
Terminator even though that's not the one that she has to fight or slash escape from a fight against

736
01:22:36,880 --> 01:22:42,320
slash escape from a later in the show because this is a different model but this one is fucking scary

737
01:22:42,320 --> 01:22:48,080
and the one that gets sent to the past later to 1997 is also very scary but they look different

738
01:22:48,080 --> 01:22:54,400
it goes seems a bit of a part for a normal human in certain parts like she's doing a bit too

739
01:22:54,400 --> 01:22:58,880
well in the direct confrontations with the Terminator it's like Michael being definitely didn't

740
01:22:58,880 --> 01:23:04,240
fair as well and some of the other human characters also didn't that's why they pitted the Terminator's

741
01:23:04,240 --> 01:23:13,360
against each other studying from t2 onwards the show still manages to make the Terminator feel

742
01:23:13,360 --> 01:23:21,040
pretty scary regardless it's that also is the reason for that is also that it's not only fighting

743
01:23:21,040 --> 01:23:24,880
ako like ako is like one of the many characters there are a lot of characters in this show

744
01:23:24,880 --> 01:23:32,720
that get the spotlight and she's only one of them but yeah we see her in the future and then she

745
01:23:32,720 --> 01:23:39,440
gets sent back to the past by the resistance we're not fully filled into what they're trying to do

746
01:23:39,440 --> 01:23:45,920
we get just some delimpses and some statements were like okay maybe this is what this is about

747
01:23:45,920 --> 01:23:52,640
and then her base gets attacked and she gets last minute sent to 97 but seeing like basically

748
01:23:52,640 --> 01:23:57,520
everyone she knows getting slaughtered by a Terminator that infiltrates the base and everything by the way

749
01:23:57,520 --> 01:24:02,640
this is a very gory show this is definitely like going for oh yeah well the first

750
01:24:02,640 --> 01:24:09,840
Terminator was arated we're going back to that and yes a lot of blood li- everyone exploding

751
01:24:09,840 --> 01:24:15,680
guts everywhere like faces burn off all that shit good shit like it's there's a lot of a lot of

752
01:24:15,680 --> 01:24:22,880
gores blatter and everything in this show it's definitely not saving up the blood so if you're a bit

753
01:24:22,880 --> 01:24:27,600
squeamish when it comes to that maybe skip this show I found it really entertaining there were

754
01:24:27,600 --> 01:24:33,200
definitely some moments where it's like whoa while watching the show because I did not expect it to

755
01:24:33,200 --> 01:24:42,080
go that for ham but yeah fun time fun bloody time so yeah echo gets sent back to 1997 to Japan where

756
01:24:42,080 --> 01:24:48,160
robots seem to already have been established large scale in everyday life not Terminator robots they

757
01:24:48,160 --> 01:24:56,160
really look like you know robot robots think they're called the what are they called one

758
01:24:57,360 --> 01:25:05,440
and oh you know or something like that but spelled one and zero I think but they're spelled

759
01:25:05,440 --> 01:25:12,160
in or something and they're like basically serving robots something like you would see an i-robot

760
01:25:12,160 --> 01:25:18,320
in that movie but much more you know basic like with big square hats and everything looking like

761
01:25:18,320 --> 01:25:24,880
you know old school robot stuff the focus immediately when we switched to 19 as a 19 as a 19

762
01:25:24,880 --> 01:25:30,800
as a focus switch to a different character mentioned before in the summary guy working at cortex industries

763
01:25:30,800 --> 01:25:38,080
Malcolm Lee who has nightmares slash visions of judgment day like the first time we see him he has this

764
01:25:38,080 --> 01:25:44,960
very this vision very similar to the famous nightmare of Sarah Connor from Terminator 2 where like

765
01:25:44,960 --> 01:25:51,440
the whole city explodes and she gets like her flesh gets melted off her body and you only see her

766
01:25:51,440 --> 01:25:57,920
grabbing at the fence as a skeleton and everything and that we get kind of like a redo of that scene

767
01:25:57,920 --> 01:26:06,880
only more nasty even for Malcolm and yeah we find out he developed a counter AI who's kind of

768
01:26:06,880 --> 01:26:14,880
called Kokoro who is supposed to stop SkyNet and save humanity problem is Malcolm doesn't know if

769
01:26:14,880 --> 01:26:20,640
Kokoro will actually do that that's why he hasn't take her take her fully online yet he has given

770
01:26:20,640 --> 01:26:25,680
her free will he has given her all the stuff AI is supposed to get it's kind of she's kind of

771
01:26:25,680 --> 01:26:30,400
bit different to SkyNet in that regard she has a bit of a different system but she is an

772
01:26:30,400 --> 01:26:36,080
a full-fledged AI and Malcolm doesn't know what will she decide because SkyNet what SkyNet

773
01:26:36,080 --> 01:26:41,440
was decided when he started to learn people got scared and then he said they oh they want to turn

774
01:26:41,440 --> 01:26:46,320
me off well then I'm gonna turn humanity off and you know sent a nuclear missiles against Russia

775
01:26:46,320 --> 01:26:54,560
Russia bombed everyone else and or he sent a nuclear missiles about against a bunch of states and

776
01:26:54,560 --> 01:27:01,040
then everyone bombed everyone that's what judgment that day was in Terminator 2 anyway so Malcolm is

777
01:27:01,040 --> 01:27:08,240
trying to stop that and he has a very limited time window because when we get to his part of the story

778
01:27:08,240 --> 01:27:15,680
it's like basically the 29th and I think of November and I think on the 30th of November 1997

779
01:27:15,680 --> 01:27:21,760
that's when judgment day happened so this is like his no not November August he it's August 29th

780
01:27:21,760 --> 01:27:31,680
when we get to 97 and Japan is like 17 hours ahead of America so once SkyNet gets activated on

781
01:27:31,680 --> 01:27:41,440
the dot 12 a.m. on August 30th in America judgment day will happen pretty quickly so Malcolm tries

782
01:27:41,440 --> 01:27:46,480
to avoid that so he thinks the only way to do that is to take Kokoro online but first he kind of

783
01:27:46,480 --> 01:27:52,800
wants to make sure will that actually do anything or will she make things worse so he has a final

784
01:27:52,800 --> 01:27:57,520
discussion with her before it takes her online he wants to determine whether it will help

785
01:27:58,480 --> 01:28:04,720
whether Kokoro will help them or turn against you might be like SkyNet did so he gets in to his

786
01:28:04,720 --> 01:28:12,960
company cortex interest and there he has like this giant VR dome where he sits down and you get a

787
01:28:12,960 --> 01:28:17,600
hologram image of Kokoro and Kokoro has like these three different personalities that seem

788
01:28:17,600 --> 01:28:23,520
each to harbor different thoughts on the matter they all so all look like the three different goddesses

789
01:28:23,520 --> 01:28:30,240
from Legend of Zelda or Karina of time I guess same RGB color coding and everything like what were

790
01:28:30,240 --> 01:28:38,320
the names? Din, Nairu and Feroro right yeah yeah so it's kind of going for that they all looked

791
01:28:38,320 --> 01:28:43,600
slightly different in design and everything in color palette so Malcolm like activates them in

792
01:28:43,600 --> 01:28:50,000
this limited space and then apparently picks up the discussion he had with her before and tries

793
01:28:50,000 --> 01:28:54,640
to plea you man to his case like listing all the features that make a special in his eyes

794
01:28:54,640 --> 01:29:03,120
to the AIs reaction to that is one of her core is saying well after reviewing all of that and giving

795
01:29:03,120 --> 01:29:08,960
you know some counter examples everything like every human invention that ever was every

796
01:29:08,960 --> 01:29:14,400
marvel of mankind with the potential of betterment for the world has instantly been perverted into

797
01:29:14,400 --> 01:29:21,760
weapon man is war monger above all else your economic systems are used as weapons of oppression

798
01:29:21,760 --> 01:29:27,120
and you've used your science to build the most destructive weapons the laws of physics will allow

799
01:29:27,120 --> 01:29:31,040
you're so ready to blame SkyNet for the end of civilization but SkyNet is just another

800
01:29:31,040 --> 01:29:39,680
byproduct of man's natural inclination to self destruct which is fair I guess but that you know

801
01:29:39,680 --> 01:29:46,560
gives of course Malcolm some pause and he's like okay I don't I need to find a way to have

802
01:29:46,560 --> 01:29:56,480
this discussion and her opinion on us tip towards us to our favor so I can actually take

803
01:29:56,480 --> 01:30:01,840
online and do something with this we've discovered it's probably not gonna work and of course

804
01:30:01,840 --> 01:30:09,200
then also the AI like Okoro asserts correctly that Malcolm has mainly created her or it as yet

805
01:30:09,200 --> 01:30:15,840
another weapon so it wants to know what makes him think humanity is worth saving and that becomes

806
01:30:15,840 --> 01:30:21,600
one of the main things the show is actually doing which I was super surprised by like it's one of

807
01:30:21,600 --> 01:30:28,240
the main focus is Malcolm having this discussion with Okoro about the impending doom of humanity

808
01:30:28,240 --> 01:30:34,800
and if it's actually worth to Okoro to avoid that like if there's some sense for her to do that

809
01:30:35,680 --> 01:30:39,600
really interesting like I never saw this coming out of a fucking terminator show

810
01:30:39,600 --> 01:30:48,640
so yeah that's one of the main focuses and the other focuses is Aiko of course and another big aspect

811
01:30:48,640 --> 01:30:55,120
of Malcolm's family life his kids which he's trying to save by focusing all his energy on

812
01:30:55,120 --> 01:30:59,040
Okoro but of course since he's never around he's losing the trust of his kids and their connection

813
01:30:59,040 --> 01:31:06,640
to him which you know plays also a big part in the development of the story but also of course his

814
01:31:06,640 --> 01:31:11,280
kids are super big reason for even creating Okoro in the first place because he wants to save

815
01:31:11,280 --> 01:31:18,960
their lives that he doesn't want them to either die or grow up in the ruins of this world and it's

816
01:31:18,960 --> 01:31:25,280
funny that Japan in the 1997 time I am in this version of the story is already so much more advanced

817
01:31:25,280 --> 01:31:32,960
than the US that you know is if we compare it to T2 however wherever Malcolm's visions are coming

818
01:31:32,960 --> 01:31:38,560
from it seems Malcolm is aware that in his own words this path has been worked many times

819
01:31:38,560 --> 01:31:43,440
so probably meaning this is not the original timeline and that the past has already been changed

820
01:31:43,440 --> 01:31:50,160
multiple times so who knows maybe take us generally more advanced earlier now but then

821
01:31:50,160 --> 01:31:56,720
wouldn't SkyNet have been invented sooner well the show actually addresses that in its climax

822
01:31:56,720 --> 01:32:02,240
which was pretty neat I like the lot where I like the place a lot where was going with the story

823
01:32:02,240 --> 01:32:06,960
there's a lot of wild developments later on and you know like I said a big part of the narrative is

824
01:32:06,960 --> 01:32:10,880
Malcolm trying to convince Okoro that despite its past felling humanity can change and does

825
01:32:10,880 --> 01:32:18,320
us worth saving very interesting just having this being the main focus of this show to be like this

826
01:32:18,320 --> 01:32:25,520
philosophical debate between a human and an ii and you know if Malcolm takes the online with

827
01:32:25,520 --> 01:32:29,760
Okoro help humanity or turn out to be another mechanical oppressor will she form an alliance with

828
01:32:29,760 --> 01:32:36,240
SkyNet or will they fight and what could have war between the two most powerful aIs on a planet

829
01:32:36,240 --> 01:32:42,400
mean for humanity aside from their total annihilation as much as the show is about the ifs it's also about

830
01:32:42,400 --> 01:32:48,160
the wise so that's really interesting and the most interesting dialogue definitely happens in the

831
01:32:48,160 --> 01:32:56,160
VR room some really need discussion about humanity time life itself a i nothing too deep but definitely

832
01:32:56,160 --> 01:33:02,320
something I did not expect from this kind of a show I mostly expected to be an action show and it

833
01:33:02,320 --> 01:33:10,240
is definitely that Stephanie an action show but it has a really nice added thing on it with this

834
01:33:10,240 --> 01:33:15,200
being it this discussion between Malcolm and Okoro that I did not expect that I really enjoyed

835
01:33:15,200 --> 01:33:21,360
the the story is definitely going some interesting places I didn't see coming sadly I can talk about

836
01:33:21,360 --> 01:33:28,400
any of this or most of this because it would be heavy spoilers so I'm gonna refrain from doing that

837
01:33:28,400 --> 01:33:33,920
but yeah SkyNet sends back a terminator to stop Malcolm from taking Okoro online

838
01:33:33,920 --> 01:33:39,200
Malcolm is not stupid when he is attacked by the terminator the first time he immediately realizes

839
01:33:39,200 --> 01:33:43,840
oh shit the machines are trying to kill me so I must be on the right track with Kokoro

840
01:33:43,840 --> 01:33:49,200
she's gonna save her save us SkyNet is trying to stop that so I need to take her online

841
01:33:49,200 --> 01:33:56,160
which puts a bit more pressure on him you know or but also makes him more uh makes him more convinced

842
01:33:56,160 --> 01:34:01,040
that he's on the right track and gives him a bit of a bigger push to actually convince Kokoro

843
01:34:01,040 --> 01:34:08,320
to like switch over to his view and that it is ultimately the right choice to take her online

844
01:34:08,320 --> 01:34:13,600
because you know after all if that wasn't the case why would SkyNet send a terminator back in time to

845
01:34:13,600 --> 01:34:19,920
kill him but yeah that is the one big part of the show the other big part are the kids

846
01:34:19,920 --> 01:34:28,080
Malcolm has three kids Kenta, hero and Raker two boys one girl Kenta being the oldest

847
01:34:28,080 --> 01:34:35,360
Kenta also being a bit of a dick I say a bit but he's really like he's kind of an ass and he's

848
01:34:35,360 --> 01:34:41,680
like kind of the worst character in this understandable to an extent and even more so later on

849
01:34:41,680 --> 01:34:50,880
but he is kind of like the character to be in here who's like making all kind of like the decisions

850
01:34:50,880 --> 01:34:58,480
where like oh god fuck can he be extracted from this story like given his father is never around

851
01:34:58,480 --> 01:35:03,440
it's not really a surprise that he behaves that way he treats robots like nothing more than tools he

852
01:35:03,440 --> 01:35:09,200
can dismantle while his brother hero and this is the Raker want to play with like this little cat robot

853
01:35:09,200 --> 01:35:14,960
they're caretaker Misake brought for them Kenta just wants to take it apart to see what makes it take

854
01:35:14,960 --> 01:35:21,200
and Malcolm doesn't also doesn't want any advanced tech in his house we know this is probably because

855
01:35:21,200 --> 01:35:26,400
of what he knows about SkyNet but his daughter Raker thinks he didn't allow them to keep the robot cat

856
01:35:27,040 --> 01:35:34,320
Misake brought because it reminded him of his dead wife and you know the three kids mother

857
01:35:34,320 --> 01:35:38,960
there's a photo in the living room of his wife holding a cat of course there's something more to

858
01:35:38,960 --> 01:35:44,160
that and the whole story with the dead wife and everything but we get filled in on that much later

859
01:35:44,160 --> 01:35:48,960
that can go into it here like I said Kenta for example is really into tech but doesn't understand why

860
01:35:48,960 --> 01:35:56,400
his dad won't allow advanced tech in his house so it has kind of an admiring view on his dad because his

861
01:35:56,400 --> 01:36:03,680
dad is kind of a genius right he's like no so much so advanced and has created so much advanced AI

862
01:36:03,680 --> 01:36:10,160
stuff and Kenta kind of wants to be like his dad and isn't allowed to be which kind of pisses him off

863
01:36:10,160 --> 01:36:16,320
but again he also admires his dad so it's kind of like this kind of difficult very difficult

864
01:36:16,320 --> 01:36:24,720
relation to his father and hero is much simpler he's a younger brother he's still very much a kid but

865
01:36:24,720 --> 01:36:31,600
has a very optimistic worldview and he's mostly here to play and he wants to help people and he's

866
01:36:31,600 --> 01:36:37,840
just a good kid he's just a good kid with good heart and he would do the right thing and Raka is

867
01:36:37,840 --> 01:36:42,400
kind of on the other side of the spectrum who's mostly just this adverse adversarial

868
01:36:42,400 --> 01:36:49,520
attitudes towards her father because the only thing she realizes is their father is never there for

869
01:36:49,520 --> 01:36:58,480
them and she feels like he's abandon them and even more so that now that their mother is not around anymore

870
01:36:58,480 --> 01:37:04,400
we of course know why Malcolm is doing this because he wants to save his kids but while doing that

871
01:37:04,400 --> 01:37:10,400
he's not giving them the most important parts that they need from him which is love and which is

872
01:37:10,400 --> 01:37:16,800
time with him so you know it's kind of this problematic relationship with him and his kids

873
01:37:17,600 --> 01:37:23,920
he hero hero probably being the one who takes it the best and it's just happy you know to be able to play

874
01:37:23,920 --> 01:37:30,800
stuff and eat sweets and having their caretaker around Misaki who is probably the last character in the

875
01:37:30,800 --> 01:37:37,760
story that should be addressed because she is also becomes very important as well for different

876
01:37:37,760 --> 01:37:44,960
reasons so Malcolm goes back once he is attacked by the Terminator to the lab which is heavily

877
01:37:44,960 --> 01:37:54,720
fortified but the Terminator knows that no set as well so he very quickly is like okay I won't get to

878
01:37:54,720 --> 01:38:03,360
Malcolm that way so what else do I know about him breaks into his house finds out he has three kids

879
01:38:03,360 --> 01:38:08,880
of course he goes after the kids and that's where the other big path of the story is once the

880
01:38:08,880 --> 01:38:14,240
initial attack happens against Malcolm the Terminator is heavily fixated on getting one of the kids

881
01:38:14,240 --> 01:38:23,920
and using it as bait/pressure on Malcolm to surrender himself to the Terminator and letting himself

882
01:38:23,920 --> 01:38:30,160
get killed basically for the sake of his kids so that's also a very interesting thing that comes

883
01:38:30,160 --> 01:38:36,000
into play later to on like will that will the Terminator succeed and what will Malcolm do because he

884
01:38:36,000 --> 01:38:40,800
knows if he surrenders himself and doesn't activate Cockroo his kids are maybe killed anyway so

885
01:38:41,360 --> 01:38:48,240
what is he going to decide in that situation and yes very the stakes get constantly raised in this

886
01:38:48,240 --> 01:38:55,200
and also perspectives are shifted a lot like and combinations of characters like in the beginning

887
01:38:55,200 --> 01:39:04,800
we have Encore loan then we have Malcolm and Misaki together one because Rhaikar runs away

888
01:39:04,800 --> 01:39:12,240
and the brothers follow her and then you know it's Misaki's contact the Malcolm is like hey your kids

889
01:39:12,240 --> 01:39:17,680
run away and then they try to find the kids but then the Terminator attacks attacks now comes to get

890
01:39:17,680 --> 01:39:24,800
back to the lab to be protected and everything and task Misaki to find them and Misaki runs into Aiko

891
01:39:24,800 --> 01:39:30,320
and they work together then they find the kids then the groups get switched up again we have Misaki

892
01:39:30,320 --> 01:39:38,800
with the two brothers and Aiko teaming up with Rhaikar so there's a bunch of switching character

893
01:39:38,800 --> 01:39:43,040
combinations allegiances dynamics which keeps the show pretty interesting because we always have

894
01:39:43,040 --> 01:39:48,720
other characters to interact with each other and play off each other which is pretty neat because

895
01:39:48,720 --> 01:39:55,040
sometimes in show with like this big ensemble cast at some point when they get split up you only

896
01:39:55,040 --> 01:39:59,840
have the same teams you only have the same like maybe two characters who interact with each other

897
01:39:59,840 --> 01:40:04,960
because it makes sense because in certain parts like their dynamic just works if you have like these

898
01:40:04,960 --> 01:40:11,760
body cop duo and then maybe you have a son and father combination or mother daughter combination

899
01:40:11,760 --> 01:40:16,320
or something like that and it makes sense for the story to combine these different characters

900
01:40:16,320 --> 01:40:20,480
together because you get the most out of this and this story get a lot of switching around

901
01:40:21,200 --> 01:40:27,360
with these characters of course you know you have some of them in a set group for certain

902
01:40:27,360 --> 01:40:31,760
for certain duration of the show but then it gets switched up again so that's really interesting

903
01:40:31,760 --> 01:40:37,120
I like that a lot I thought that keep kept the show varied and made the character dynamics more

904
01:40:37,120 --> 01:40:42,960
interesting and varied again out of the three kids can ties the most unsympathetic character in the

905
01:40:42,960 --> 01:40:49,600
show he's not just the dumbest he's not just the dumbest kid type he's the obstructive and

906
01:40:49,600 --> 01:40:56,480
judgmental dumbest kid type who thinks he's got the whole world figured out so the worst kind yeah

907
01:40:56,480 --> 01:41:02,160
and he's a bit of a sociopath to in my opinion thankfully he has kind of a bit of a turning point

908
01:41:02,160 --> 01:41:07,680
otherwise I'd have rooted for the terminated to terminated to vaporize the loss some little shit

909
01:41:07,680 --> 01:41:13,760
but you know it's like for a long stretches you're really like oh my god get this kid out of here he's

910
01:41:13,760 --> 01:41:18,400
so fucking annoying he's like always making the wrong decisions he's not getting the full picture

911
01:41:18,400 --> 01:41:24,000
you can always attribute to him being a kid the problem is the other two kids get it like the other

912
01:41:24,000 --> 01:41:30,240
two kids are like no you're being an idiot and of course I celebrate them for the hero and rick

913
01:41:30,240 --> 01:41:35,040
are great hero especially has a moment later in the show that made him one of my favorite characters

914
01:41:35,040 --> 01:41:42,080
in this series which is rare for a kid character I'm not like two font of your standard kid

915
01:41:42,080 --> 01:41:47,040
characters in shows and movies and everything if they're too tropey and everything and are like

916
01:41:47,040 --> 01:41:52,720
therefore I don't know for for certain put in here for certain reasons because the show needs a

917
01:41:52,720 --> 01:41:58,960
kid character or because it's targeting a specific audience or whatever but in this it works and

918
01:41:58,960 --> 01:42:04,640
especially the you know standard good nature kicked character in he you have in here is one of the

919
01:42:04,640 --> 01:42:09,840
best characters in this because he's just the heart of the show like hero is he doesn't necessarily

920
01:42:09,840 --> 01:42:14,080
have the most screen time in this but every time he is on screen it's like oh that kid is super

921
01:42:14,800 --> 01:42:20,400
good and related one you want to want him to see him save and you want him to have good fate and

922
01:42:20,400 --> 01:42:28,480
everything and he he's just a good person and not annoying and not obstructive unlike his brother

923
01:42:28,480 --> 01:42:34,880
and like I said there's this one moment in the show where you're like oh my god how does this kid

924
01:42:34,880 --> 01:42:43,200
totally get it and you who is definitely more definitely older and should have a more a better

925
01:42:43,200 --> 01:42:49,440
perspective on a world doesn't get shit at all and always make the fucking worst decisions so

926
01:42:49,440 --> 01:42:54,240
sometimes it's like that yeah sometimes it's like that I get maybe it's it's also realistic in

927
01:42:54,240 --> 01:43:01,040
some ways because sometimes smaller kids get a more unburdened few uncertain things and just go with

928
01:43:01,040 --> 01:43:07,360
their heart and you know that is still kind of innocent and clear and that can also be true

929
01:43:07,360 --> 01:43:13,520
they're determined it's certain other situations but in this case it's like Kent has already so

930
01:43:13,520 --> 01:43:22,080
burdened and damaged by the bad relationship to his dad and by what he is experienced from certain

931
01:43:22,080 --> 01:43:30,080
things of the way his life progressed and I assume considering his age he was the one who

932
01:43:30,080 --> 01:43:35,600
probably got hit the hardest by the death of his mother because he was maybe already in an age

933
01:43:35,600 --> 01:43:43,760
where he could fully experience that emotionally so maybe that's also playing into this but yeah it's

934
01:43:43,760 --> 01:43:48,880
it's hard to get to like garner some sympathy from him while watching the show because he's really

935
01:43:48,880 --> 01:43:57,600
just used as the character who makes the stories go certain ways because he maybe where it needs to

936
01:43:57,600 --> 01:44:02,000
go to create some friction to create some drama because he is the characters who character who

937
01:44:02,000 --> 01:44:08,800
constantly doesn't get it and who constantly is throwing a wrench into things because you know he's just

938
01:44:08,800 --> 01:44:15,840
he's just an idiot he's a little shit who thinks he's wiser than he actually is but aside from that

939
01:44:15,840 --> 01:44:20,480
the kids are pretty cool Misake is pretty cool very interesting the Terminator and this is pretty

940
01:44:20,480 --> 01:44:25,760
cool which hey the show is called Terminator 0 so you want a cool Terminator in this and I feel like

941
01:44:25,760 --> 01:44:29,440
this Terminator is a bit of a different approach than you get from

942
01:44:30,320 --> 01:44:36,720
you know you standard Arnie stuff and everything because he's has of course he's like can be like this

943
01:44:36,720 --> 01:44:44,080
brood who goes into killing everything right with a very easily he's very good at killing don't get

944
01:44:44,080 --> 01:44:49,920
me wrong but you also get a bit more of the infiltration stuff that Terminator is also supposed to be

945
01:44:49,920 --> 01:44:55,920
very good at we don't see that much of that in the movies I feel like some of it definitely but not

946
01:44:55,920 --> 01:45:02,400
as much and he is definitely like he's doing a lot of stuff ways like waging actually waging

947
01:45:02,400 --> 01:45:08,320
different options against each other race he's like okay does it make much sense of me doing that

948
01:45:08,320 --> 01:45:13,200
because that would risk my mission so I'm gonna switch gears I'm gonna change gears and then do

949
01:45:13,200 --> 01:45:21,680
this instead and he's also he also has to improvise a lot more than Arnold has like it's like okay Arnold

950
01:45:21,680 --> 01:45:27,760
comes to the past okay I have to kill Sarah Connor I just go to a weapons shop in the US and

951
01:45:27,760 --> 01:45:35,280
get me some weapons and then I am fucking loaded I'm a walking one man army this is as easy in Japan

952
01:45:35,280 --> 01:45:40,640
because they're not weapons to be bought on every fucking corner and not like half of the country is

953
01:45:40,640 --> 01:45:47,680
armed to their teeth so America great yes so it's not as easy for the Terminator there to go into

954
01:45:47,680 --> 01:45:53,920
full killing stream mode the cops have weapons so he definitely procures some of that when he engages

955
01:45:53,920 --> 01:46:00,720
with the cops but you know limited em or in everything and he's not easy to come by so he has to

956
01:46:00,720 --> 01:46:07,840
improvise and builds a very cool underarm mounted crossbow for example like that he just he cuts open

957
01:46:07,840 --> 01:46:14,000
his arm and then changes the mechanics in his arm to just attach a crossbow to it and put some balls

958
01:46:14,000 --> 01:46:19,600
into his arm and then he can shoot this crossbow from his lower lower arm and it's really cool it's

959
01:46:19,600 --> 01:46:27,680
like really fucking neat like this low tech approach to just having ammunition and having a weapon he can

960
01:46:27,680 --> 01:46:34,160
use you know a kind of long range weapon and everything for everything else yes this Terminator hands

961
01:46:34,160 --> 01:46:39,840
of course but yeah it's it's really neat like it's a whole different approach to terminate like this

962
01:46:39,840 --> 01:46:47,760
low tech quote unquote Terminator that can't just can't use a can't just grab a pumpkin or a mini

963
01:46:47,760 --> 01:46:55,440
gun or a fucking oozy or from from everywhere and everything and or rocket launcher and just having

964
01:46:55,440 --> 01:47:03,760
to go you know a bit more stealthy in certain parts and having to make plans and actually try to

965
01:47:03,760 --> 01:47:08,400
figure out what the best way to his mission is and just go fucking storm into the door just drive a

966
01:47:08,400 --> 01:47:15,120
car into a police station and then just just shoot them all to kingdom come so that was pretty cool

967
01:47:15,120 --> 01:47:22,080
more reconnaissance style and yeah it's it's pretty neat it's pretty neat a lot more tracking stuff

968
01:47:22,080 --> 01:47:27,440
and everything so yeah I really like the Terminator in this and he is he don't get me wrong as strong as

969
01:47:27,440 --> 01:47:34,480
a co-existent certain parts when she fights him he is a menacing presence he kills a lot of people

970
01:47:34,480 --> 01:47:41,360
and he has like this stone cold glare that you know from a Terminator and he's like I'm just gonna go

971
01:47:41,360 --> 01:47:47,200
forward and not stop I'm gonna be relentless and I'm gonna do it and I'm gonna do it again and do

972
01:47:47,200 --> 01:47:53,600
it again and come after you as long as I need to and it's pretty cool I watch this show with a Japanese

973
01:47:53,600 --> 01:47:58,160
dub you might want to argue since it's a western franchise it makes more sense to watch it with

974
01:47:58,160 --> 01:48:04,960
English voices but since it's exclusively said in Japan I disagree um however the subtitles are

975
01:48:04,960 --> 01:48:12,480
dub titles so you're getting the English script anyway with a lot of cursing which was kind of jarring

976
01:48:12,480 --> 01:48:17,680
considering I at least know that much Japanese there was like that is not what she just said

977
01:48:17,680 --> 01:48:23,040
that is not what he just said there was no fucking there there was no shit in there what are you

978
01:48:23,040 --> 01:48:31,200
talking about this is so it's much more much more graphics script in English and in the subs/dub titles

979
01:48:31,200 --> 01:48:38,800
so be aware of that going for the full r-rated experience also interesting in this is the relevance

980
01:48:38,800 --> 01:48:43,360
of a nuclear holocaust to the story because let's be honest sky not going apeshit with nuclear

981
01:48:43,360 --> 01:48:49,120
missiles has quite a different flavor from a Japanese perspective than an American one although

982
01:48:49,120 --> 01:48:54,720
the creator of the show is still American but you know what I mean um there's more way behind some

983
01:48:54,720 --> 01:48:58,960
of the stuff being said because Japan already experienced the horrors of this particular human

984
01:48:58,960 --> 01:49:06,880
invention firsthand so some of that just resonates more feels more threatening feels more dire

985
01:49:06,880 --> 01:49:14,720
feels more apocalyptic so yeah that was pretty neat um the show is also a bit of a mystery show at

986
01:49:14,720 --> 01:49:20,480
least one of the characters has a somewhat strange air about them and maybe isn't quite what they

987
01:49:20,480 --> 01:49:27,120
seem to be so it to show kind of dregs that out at least some of it to the halfway point and the

988
01:49:27,120 --> 01:49:31,760
rest of it to the end of the show and there's some really neat revelations later on which I won't

989
01:49:31,760 --> 01:49:37,760
give away depending on how you look at it and how you feel about the show it might come across as

990
01:49:37,760 --> 01:49:42,240
maybe spitting a few too many plates at the same time like I said we got a bunch of

991
01:49:43,200 --> 01:49:49,280
cast members and you know we got Malcolm we got Masaki we got Aiko the kids Terminator all their

992
01:49:49,280 --> 01:49:53,920
paths intersect at some point but then like I said they get split up again get put in different

993
01:49:53,920 --> 01:49:58,400
groups or do their own thing and that sometimes feel like the show is doing a bit too much perspective

994
01:49:58,400 --> 01:50:05,920
and location hopping but in my opinion mostly still keeps it together and things move at a decent pace

995
01:50:05,920 --> 01:50:12,640
so for me that made it more interesting depending on how you like your stories how you like your

996
01:50:12,640 --> 01:50:18,960
plot how you like your character moments everything maybe it's a bit too much like I said location

997
01:50:18,960 --> 01:50:24,720
hopping character hopping and so on could be the case like I said it didn't bother me at all quite

998
01:50:24,720 --> 01:50:30,560
the opposite it enhanced the show experience for me so make up that what you will it's also really

999
01:50:30,560 --> 01:50:35,600
good looking show especially the stuff in Kokoro's virtual reality room is super cool like you get

1000
01:50:35,600 --> 01:50:42,560
a bunch of not only her like in her holographic stuff but she also puts a lot of video imagery on

1001
01:50:42,560 --> 01:50:48,800
the screen to illustrate her points especially when it comes to humanity maybe not being worth saving

1002
01:50:48,800 --> 01:50:56,080
did you get a lot of visuals of war of past wars and everything but also you get a lot of neat

1003
01:50:56,080 --> 01:51:02,560
sci-fi stuff that they're talk about and everything and when the room actually gets activated and stuff

1004
01:51:02,560 --> 01:51:08,400
like that so that's really neat and that's some good use of CG in the show which of course production

1005
01:51:08,400 --> 01:51:14,800
IG loves to use CG they do it in this show outside of the VR room as well on vehicle vehicles and the

1006
01:51:14,800 --> 01:51:23,360
inner robots mainly sometimes on human crowds but it's solid CG CG mostly the CG in the VR room like

1007
01:51:23,360 --> 01:51:28,240
I said is really great and thankfully they are barely using it on the Terminator which I was worried

1008
01:51:28,240 --> 01:51:32,720
about I thought maybe they thought it would be a good idea to make this like this mixed

1009
01:51:34,480 --> 01:51:39,120
presentation we've seen a lot of other anime at this point or at least some of them where it's like

1010
01:51:39,120 --> 01:51:44,080
hey some of the characters are traditionally traditionally animated some of them are CG and I

1011
01:51:44,080 --> 01:51:49,280
think we both agree this becomes pretty jarring when one of the CG characters is one of the main

1012
01:51:49,280 --> 01:51:54,480
characters who gets a lot of screen time and then has to interact with the traditionally animated

1013
01:51:54,480 --> 01:52:00,880
characters you can maybe get away with it if some of the if one of that is an actual machine but also

1014
01:52:00,880 --> 01:52:08,240
the Terminator is not supposed to look like a machine the entire he like the entire way through

1015
01:52:08,240 --> 01:52:13,280
like he's supposed to be an infiltration you're supposed to look like a human unless he gets damaged

1016
01:52:13,280 --> 01:52:19,840
so he can fit in and actually you know surprise the actual humans in this show so it doesn't make sense

1017
01:52:19,840 --> 01:52:27,520
to make him walk and talk and look like a real robot you know of course he has the more robotic speech

1018
01:52:27,520 --> 01:52:34,240
patterns and everything and he is somewhat stiff in the way he moves and everything but it would still

1019
01:52:34,240 --> 01:52:41,520
be jarring if he was CG all the way through but they keep that to a minimum when he gets damaged

1020
01:52:41,520 --> 01:52:48,720
later on where it makes sense to make him look make him CG at some point and in the beginning or

1021
01:52:48,720 --> 01:52:54,480
let's see two thirds to one the two three fourths of the show he's traditionally animated which

1022
01:52:54,480 --> 01:52:59,680
are really appreciated and considering the traditional animation the show is really good it's a lot of

1023
01:52:59,680 --> 01:53:05,600
fun especially in the action scenes we get a cool moody soundtrack very reminiscent of t1 and t2

1024
01:53:05,600 --> 01:53:12,880
at points but the famous data tada tada is also used of course and yeah the last episode is pretty

1025
01:53:12,880 --> 01:53:20,080
wild with a lot of twists and turns and you developments I wouldn't say it comes all together flawlessly

1026
01:53:20,080 --> 01:53:26,880
but it's still pretty riveting stuff plus it's not finished some unanswered questions and an

1027
01:53:26,880 --> 01:53:33,600
uncertain future but also that's kind of the core of Terminator stories at this point I guess

1028
01:53:33,600 --> 01:53:40,480
I hope we'll get a second season because like I said I really enjoyed that I really enjoyed this show

1029
01:53:40,480 --> 01:53:47,760
I think it's got a lot to offer you can watch it off net on Netflix of course and I think

1030
01:53:48,720 --> 01:53:53,680
every Terminator fan should check this out this is the best thing coming out of that franchise since

1031
01:53:53,680 --> 01:54:00,480
Terminator 2 in my opinion and even if you like just good sci-fi stuff this is probably for you as well

1032
01:54:00,480 --> 01:54:06,160
you also really don't have to have seen any other Terminator movies or series to make sense of this

1033
01:54:06,160 --> 01:54:13,120
probably which makes it a good gateway drug of course it enhances the experience or it might

1034
01:54:13,120 --> 01:54:20,560
enhance it if you've seen at least the first two just so you already know the basics and what

1035
01:54:20,560 --> 01:54:27,840
SkyNet is but similar to what we talked about in your automata or near automata just now

1036
01:54:27,840 --> 01:54:35,520
it probably would work also as a standalone thing I liked it quite a lot and if they do end up

1037
01:54:35,520 --> 01:54:50,160
making a second season I'll be back and that is a wrap on the 161st episode of Anime
