00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:31,760
Hello and welcome to an all new episode of Anime Brain Freeze. We are your forever trainee hosts.

3
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:36,760
I am John and I'm CC and when there's just too much cool anime to watch we've got you covered.

4
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:42,760
Today we will rejoin with a Demon Slayer core to do some training during the calm before the explosive storm.

5
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:47,760
We will of course discuss the new season of Demon Slayer Kimetsuno Yaiwa.

6
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:54,760
For that let's take a look at some of the fresh anime premieres that just hit our screens in the sneak peek.

7
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:59,760
Grab your favorite training buddies, make the wise choice to abandon the annoying yellow hair at one

8
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:06,760
that for some reason is always taking along even though nobody wants him to and definitely don't pause the pause we'll be right back.

9
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:12,760
[Music]

10
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:18,760
Right yeah sneak peek time and John I gotta say this season of Slip peeks.

11
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:29,760
Yeah I mean there were a few things that I think would need. There's only like two shows I know for sure I'm gonna stick with but...

12
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:42,760
There's some other stuff that looks alright. One show in particular I wish it looked a little bit better and I'm kind of concerned about the origin of its production but you know.

13
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:53,760
Interesting I assume you will elaborate on that we will talk about it. Okay okay okay okay. Oh yeah sorry for first time business of course as usual.

14
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:59,760
We have three sections and this usually our notes or maybe some of our keepers.

15
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:05,760
Nopes are the shows we're not gonna keep on watching after checking out the premier maybe our shows we might be keeping on watching because we saw

16
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:20,760
some things that we like but also some that made us worry a bit maybe at least kept us unsure and the keepers shows that we most definitely probably gonna keep on watching unless they have a sharp drop of equality or whatever.

17
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:25,760
But this time around we don't have any notes so John is gonna lead us off directly into the maybe's.

18
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:41,760
I first maybe I was kind of curious about it because it's a studio we talked about before and I kind of like well of course we tried several studios before but this one in particular I kind of like seeing what they have cooking.

19
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:54,760
It's Tatsu Katsu fate of the majority being worked on by our friends because we totally personally know them over at satellite and it's the story about

20
00:02:54,760 --> 00:03:02,760
these high schoolers who get basically thrown into this out the edge death game.

21
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:15,760
Right where every night there's a question asked of them and it's a yes or no question in most cases like it is a binary choice question it is one or the other.

22
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:23,760
And whoever is the majority in that in response to that question become dead.

23
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:41,760
Okay interesting set up like interesting mechanic yes but in there's also this thing going around where the person who is leading this death game who is just called the emperor at this point has scattered around.

24
00:03:41,760 --> 00:04:10,760
And so the Japanese rights and these like prime rights and some of them you know allow you to basically change the rules of the game if you find them there's some things going on with that that are kind of interesting because one of the characters it's assumed one of the characters found a right at this point called the right of rejection that's the assumption by one of the other characters because when someone else is like I'm going to kill you.

25
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:12,760
He says to him.

26
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:30,760
And he can't do it so like I said there's just there's just rule bending aspect to parts of it so there's like these little wrinkles in here and I think the idea is that the rights are expendable but the prime rights are like permanent I think that's the implication.

27
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:50,760
So I think from that standpoint there could be something interesting about this show. I was reading him apparently like this was something that people wanted an adaptation of for like a long while because I think the manga has been running for quite some time now so.

28
00:04:50,760 --> 00:05:14,760
Yeah the first episode no spoilers I guess because it's only the first episode the main character dies so well I mean some show us have pulled that trick right yes to shock you not only anime but you know other western TV shows and movies I guess to an extent as well in video game.

29
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:22,760
Yeah they pulled that card real early and I'm sure like what now what do you mean.

30
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:32,760
I think the first anime where that really got me and surprised me spot us for an older show is book or no yeah I think that's what it was.

31
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:56,760
And well the ostensible way where you have the typical main male shown in character right right to go and get a done guy you know who would be the main character in any other mecca or you know shown battle show whatever and then yeah it looks like he's he's got he's got to be the one who's steering the robot and he's going to and then they fight them on set they win and then he dies.

32
00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:24,760
Like what what just happened I tried watching that show back in the day and it was just so there was something about it that put me off that's not a surprise I mean it's for the same guy Mojiro Kito the guy who also wrote shadow shadow star or shadow star Narutaro was the anime adoption called I think and yeah there are some things in his manga that are problematic.

33
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:40,760
In more ways than one I mean he tackles some pretty severe topics like bullying and stuff like that some some very heavy stuff and some of the does some of the stuff it does really well in my opinion I read through all of Narutaro through all of shadow star.

34
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:49,760
So I'm familiar with that but and book or I know is going in kind into the kind of the same places and a lot of expects only much shorter time.

35
00:06:49,760 --> 00:07:00,760
And yeah some of that stuff is really interesting but also some really really problematic and he also is not great about endings I feel like so.

36
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:10,760
You probably didn't miss that much though I didn't read the manga I only watched parts of the anime and then dropped off for some reason I mean remember the show had a bang or intro theme.

37
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:25,760
Oh yeah yeah uninstall I think yeah yeah yeah yeah it was a call yeah it's fantastic yeah it was that was the thing that immediately caught my gaze and I was like oh shit I need to check this out and I did and I liked it while I watched it but I think then I found out that they changed a lot of stuff from the manga.

38
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:48,760
I think it was a Gonzo show and they made a lot of adjustments to make it a one season anime and I don't know try to skip out on some of the more problematic stuff and I don't know maybe that's why I lost interest and I was like well I want to experience the original vision of the creator so.

39
00:07:48,760 --> 00:08:00,760
Maybe I'll get around to it eventually and re-through it in manga form again but yeah how did we get to this oh yeah people dying in the first episode I love our tensions.

40
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:14,760
But yeah so that this sounds at least interesting from a perspective I pretty sure I heard someone say something bad about it that it is it felt like really trashy.

41
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:24,760
I mean it's an edgy death game show so I wouldn't be surprised but you know I want to stick with it for at least a few episodes.

42
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:43,760
But it's entertaining yeah I'm curious just more than anything else I'm curious to see how the mechanics of this workout because no all of the characters seem about as clueless as I am so I think you know narratively that works out really well.

43
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,760
You can do some need plot twists and surprises.

44
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,760
So what do you got?

45
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,760
My first maybe is grandiser you.

46
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:53,760
Yeah.

47
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:59,760
Did you check that out after all or was it still in your maybe I'm gonna check it out but I haven't done so yet.

48
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:01,760
I watched it last night.

49
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:12,760
Okay so this is a remake of the third entry in the "Masinger" series by Gona Guy which I until now am only familiar with you to word of mouth because it's so goddamn well known.

50
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:18,760
I mean his entire part is entire work but that one particular.

51
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:26,760
Yeah I kind of knew of grandiser from clips and stuff from super robot wars.

52
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:30,760
I don't think I ever realized just how entwined it was with "Masinger"

53
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,760
Yeah I mean me neither but also I've never looked into that universe much.

54
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:41,760
I know there's what kind of robots there are and grandiser wasn't on my radar but you know I was like oh okay this is where this belongs.

55
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:46,760
And I think it was also called "Golder Rock" in parts of the world where it was released.

56
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:52,760
I don't know if that is the original Japanese name or is that's what it was called in certain other countries.

57
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,760
I think it was just called "UFO Robo Grandiser" in Japan.

58
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:02,760
Okay then it was "Golder Rock" somewhere else maybe in the US when some of the original version was released or whatever.

59
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:08,760
But yeah it's a remake of that probably related to the new video game that came out for "Forn Console"

60
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:17,760
which I developed by the French team I think and it looked pretty cool from the trailers and I still want to check that out so I probably will eventually.

61
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:26,760
But yeah like I said I haven't watched any "Masinger" stuff so in the beginning I wanted like "Ehhh how much does the show expect me to already be familiar with that universe?"

62
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,760
But thankfully it doesn't seem like it does.

63
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:46,760
It pretty quickly introduces all the main characters it's like yes here is Koji who is the pilot of "Masinger" and his friend Siyaka is quickly in one scene explaining like the origin of "Masinger"

64
00:10:46,760 --> 00:11:05,760
and where what they were doing in the other two seasons that came before this technically. But it's like no this story is mainly about a new protagonist about Daisuke/Duke who is an alien from the planet.

65
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,760
Is it the planet fleet?

66
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:19,760
That sort of seems like how I read it? Yes but also the aliens that attack who also seem to be from the planet are called something else right the Vegas home.

67
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:20,760
Vegas?

68
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:22,760
Yeah so I'm not sure.

69
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:29,760
But I'm sort of looking at this like fleet is his name but also a plant so we have a Vegeta.

70
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:37,760
Yes, that's what it might be and maybe the we will maybe get learn more about this and maybe the the Vegas.

71
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:44,760
The the Vegas troops are in invading force or there are like other people also living on this planet.

72
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:50,760
I'm sorry I just thought of my lord Vegeta is under attack my son the planet or me.

73
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,760
Yes.

74
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,760
Yeah good scene.

75
00:11:55,760 --> 00:12:00,760
Thank you team for sir.

76
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:19,760
But yeah so this is about Daisuke and he's crash lands on earth his plan apparently was to throw the giant weapon he arrived in grandiser who's like this mix of a round UFO and a Mac which looks really weird if it's in UFO for UFO for.

77
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:20,760
It's very bulky.

78
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:31,760
Yeah it looks like a Mac head on the front sticking out with horns and then this giant round body it looks really weird but fun.

79
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:44,760
So it's like you never see that in red designs and when it transforms it looks like a normal giant robot right so yeah he he planned to throw that into this into the sun of our solar system.

80
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:53,760
Because apparently our son is still active which applies that their son isn't how do they live I have no idea maybe it's a.

81
00:12:53,760 --> 00:13:05,760
Ripped on situation or something and because he apparently did some committed some atrocity with that weapon unwillingly on his planet and so that it doesn't fall into anyone's hands.

82
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:25,760
He plans to destroy it but something goes wrong and crash lands on earth and gets picked up by sciaca and Koji and he has a has a ninja for a while so it doesn't immediately remember what he why he came here but then the Vegas troops attack earth and he remembers and.

83
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:53,760
He doesn't really want to he gets into the pilot seat of grandiser once more and helps Koji who at the beginning of this is outmatched by the Vegas forces because they have superior alien tech and alien shields alien weaponry and Marsy can't can't probably deal with that yet I assume it will get equipped with some of grandizers tech as well or upgraded and then they will have some.

84
00:13:53,760 --> 00:14:18,760
But we'll see yeah this looks okay I would say it has some some really cool action seats I don't even know what studios doing it off hand but you're called Geina yeah I don't know if they've done anything else I would I will look it up if you review it which is not sure yet like I said it's a maybe but yeah decent the animated has a very cool E.D.

85
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:34,760
The max RCG but not bad like I've seen definitely seen worse so yeah the first battle even though there was not that much happening in terms of I don't know choreography or movesets or whatever but it looked cool enough the soundtrack is pretty dope.

86
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:47,760
So yeah this is just very old school is fun like this is you know this is your standard old school make show based on a gun and go not got property which might also.

87
00:14:47,760 --> 00:15:11,760
Spell demise for a lot of people in the show I don't know we'll see the only the only wrinkle in this really that I saw first and except from the really shitty subs um that the reason for that is so far was released on Saudi Arabian streaming service.

88
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:31,760
And I would assume the reason for that is also because the someone from Saudi Arabia put some money into the show because the setting of this story has been also shifted to the Arab Emirates because it was Japan in the original like.

89
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:49,760
Disky crash lens in Japan here he crash lens in the Arab Emirates Emirates and for some reason Koji and sayaka there I don't I don't even know why but they're there so I did a little bit of looking into that.

90
00:15:49,760 --> 00:16:16,760
And one of the companies involved is this company called manga productions and their website is the domain is dot essay which is definitely Saudi are so yeah manga productions is a subsidiary company of Muhammad bin Salman MSK foundation that's not great.

91
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:21,760
Oh it's not that was where my worry comes in.

92
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:28,760
I mean decide on your own if you want to support this show anyway possible I don't even know where will be screaming in the West.

93
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:41,760
I don't I'm not sure it is I think it's only going to be on this one hold on to look up the name of the stream service but as far as I saw it was only on this one service called Shaheed.

94
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:49,760
So I think well it's getting at least a Japanese pro normal Japanese TV release that much I know.

95
00:16:49,760 --> 00:17:08,760
It's also streaming in Japan I don't know about the rest so what's it if you want to want to watch you have to seek it out yes absolutely so maybe people are not even aware of this and it's kind of at this point somewhat of skill I mean some people still know about this.

96
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:18,760
I'm pretty sure especially the older generation but yeah we'll see if that actually hit anyone but yeah it's it's an interesting situation where it's like okay.

97
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:35,760
Anime funded by maybe not such a great source and maybe don't want to support that it is what it is exactly so John what is your your next main the magical girl in the evil lieutenant used to be arch enemies.

98
00:17:35,760 --> 00:18:00,760
Okay is that an easy catch on no actually that a light novel option it's not wow okay it's a bones show believe it or not and it's about this girl who is a magical girl and when one of the you know big bad evil dudes from this evil this organization come to take up business with her.

99
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:18,760
He falls in love at first sight and it's just this it's this goofy silly story about this girl is living her life and she's had kind of a tough life she's living paycheck to paycheck she kind of got talked into becoming a magical girl.

100
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:47,760
But it seems like she doesn't really want to fight this guy because you know she's he's really nice to her in spite of being you know the the enemy I'm the enemy and he has to tell him she has to convince him I'm the bad guy here and he just can't seem to you know be a bad enough guy but there's other you know people in his this big bad evil organization called Mira and I'm sure that will come to pass eventually.

101
00:18:47,760 --> 00:19:16,760
The format of the shows like half episodes which I think is kind of the perfect length because I I don't know how long how engaging it would be if it was like the length of a full episode so it seems cute it's you know very very very pastel in very you know fantastical so I don't know man it's it's very similar in idea to that one show from a couple of years ago.

102
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:35,760
A couple years back love after world domination so I just I just want to see something you know silly and fluffy like this because it seems like the two characters at least carry care about each other more than not at all compared to other romance anime so yeah and you know that's rare enough.

103
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:58,760
I mean depending on where you look and what you look at but you know I was about having a show the battle anime that actually did a romance well for fucking ones right yeah that unlocked so I can't emphasize I think that manga and animators are finally starting to understand that helps which is I look at that and I'm like yes keep doing that.

104
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:22,760
I don't want any will they won't exactly I'm so done with the will they won't date Sundare bullshit I'm so done with it I don't want that that shit and any of my anime anymore I just want people who like each other who maybe have some travels getting along but who like each other and to actually start an actual relationship if there is if they're actually love interest for each other and not just have this game of playing catch all the times.

105
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:46,760
So try so you know it's very cute it's got a little a little bit of the bones money in there so you know I hope I continue to check it out cool what do you got my next maybe is my own a punch which is a pa work show and it's about a youtuber excuse me youtuber.

106
00:20:46,760 --> 00:21:06,760
Called Masaki who gets kicked from her content creator group the hype sis and get subsequently cancelled in the comments when she tries to start a solo career until a couple of vampires get interested in her and help reigniting her career taking revenge on her ultimate hold on vampire.

107
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:10,760
Yeah like actual real vampires you didn't see where I was going.

108
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:22,760
Yes so well the set of of course this ridiculous and it needs to be because I think this is trying to be a biting set tire on youtuber culture.

109
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:36,760
And at least that's what it comes across like now because you know in the beginning all of these people are horrible like Masaki are my character seems horrible her to friends question mark from before.

110
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:48,760
It's like yeah like everybody is mean in the comments like when when Masaki is trying to start a solo career is trying or sees that her solo career probably isn't working she's trying to recruit new people.

111
00:21:48,760 --> 00:22:02,760
And of course only trolls or putunis and perverts show up right so it's it's going there it's like yeah this is what this shit is like this kind of quote unquote industry industry and some of that you of course also fight over here right.

112
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:19,760
You know influence a culture and everything and I hope it's gonna stay that because that's what is fresh to me and that's fun to me like if this is if this show is planning to be a complete take down of influence influences and content creators I am all there for it.

113
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:30,760
But it also seems to be going for the typical uplifting anime they're all in it for the passion and they have a hard after all angle at least at the end of the first episode.

114
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:45,760
It's like it's also trying to put in that spirit at least on Masaki side of things which would be okay I get it trying to be inspiring and whatever and for the art whatever but it's still with this setup I feel that would be kind of lame.

115
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:59,760
I wanted to be more of of a sharp set higher than actual I don't know uplifting work comedy or something like that and most of what I've seen in the first in this first episode was really fun like the vampire life or leave it.

116
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:07,760
Japan and Japanese they pronounce it leave it I think but I don't know if that's actually supposed to be or if it's supposed to be life.

117
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:28,760
She slept for 20 years so she has to get acquainted with the smartphones and shit like that now and she has this little caretaker child vampire called Ichiko and the funny thing is not only is Masaki in Islam but financially as well of course they are as well because Ichiko did.

118
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:32,760
Did some bad stock trading.

119
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:48,760
So this gets worse than what of course now they have people who are knocking at their door so want they want their fucking money that she lent and whatever that she that she borrowed so it's you know this is really funny setup and the way

120
00:23:48,760 --> 00:24:03,760
is getting basically into or crossing over with Masaki eventually is she wakes up Ichiko shows her her smartphone because like hey that's how I learned about stock trading I watched YouTube videos and then

121
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:32,760
the the recruitment video of Masaki and immediately it's like that girl is so fucking hot I want to bite her neck I need her I want her so bad like she's so horny for her and yeah then she's like man then they run into each other when Masaki is in an old abandoned hospital trying to record a video because she did that in the past and she enjoyed it and whatever and

122
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:51,760
she's trying to make content all of that and leave us a scavenging for blood reserves because she remembers this hospital still being active 20 20 years ago and then they run into each other leave of course recognizes her is like oh I want that blood and then you know quick chase scene and so on really well animated because there's a

123
00:24:51,760 --> 00:25:11,760
PA work shows of course it is and then the it it all eventually leads to Masaki seeing the opportunity to create some truly unique videos with leave us help because she's a fucking vampire and she can fly and everything and then she's asking her to start in her videos and if they hit

124
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:30,760
a million subs if it can make a meal offer aka drink her blood so that's the deal they have right now they need to get they need to get those subs they need to get those fucking subscriptions set it before I say it again PA works picks up some of the weirdest stuff but they

125
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:58,760
always throw themselves into it 100% like it's they're not pulling any punches in this first like the comedies P is on point like I laughed a lot in this show in this first episode and of course animation quality both in the one action scene that exists but also in the you know comedy bits and everything is very good so like if you're in the mood for a very weird and at least seemingly

126
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:27,760
comedy that is tackling a maybe not as much tackled work environment in anime don't know many YouTuber shows there are and you know makes a set higher off that at least for now give it a go I would say because this seems pretty promising and yeah I a lot of fun with it and usually this is not my cup of tea at least when it when it's done earnestly like I couldn't stick with your back oh I really watch other work comedy stuff and you know cute

127
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:50,760
girls doing cute stuff sometimes does something for me but rarely so which makes this show more even keel because you know every one of us bring something different to the table john so that's why appreciate that you are into that stuff more than I am I mean yeah I don't always like to watch it just for the sake of that though but you know but

128
00:26:50,760 --> 00:27:15,760
the you also you bring more variation with that particular genre as well and show off some more some of the variety it can offer while I'm always looking in from the side and I'm like well this probably isn't for me so I'm not gonna check it out and only the really really hype even the really high points I haven't fully checked out like place further than the universe right which I definitely

129
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:33,480
should and that is kind of a really bad thing on part like a really bad missed I mean I watch like the first couple of shows I was like yeah I'm gonna wait until this finishes up but you know everyone says this fucking rocks and why am I so hesitant it's just you know that is my particular

130
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:46,800
genre where it's like it needs to be something really special and even if it is I sometimes just forget to check it out I think which is you with shown in certain shown in stuff so I'm just a sucker for cute in a

131
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:58,880
make girl totally fine a lot of people are john so otherwise this industry wouldn't be alive anymore probably true so there you go but yeah this one is definitely one that

132
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:13,120
picked my interest because it's got this this special something and yeah I recommend all of you to check out the first episode and make a decision for yourself if you if that is something you might be interested in and like I said I hope it sticks with the

133
00:28:13,120 --> 00:28:24,400
satire angle and doesn't go too much into hey this is just gonna turn into an uplifting hey everybody become a YouTuber thing because it's so much fun because probably don't do that

134
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:46,400
John what is your next maybe so we're talking about YouTube right how about Vtuber legend how I went viral after forgetting to turn off my stream and the Jason's topic yes so the story centers around this one Vtuber girl named

135
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:58,880
allayuki cocoa donay and she you know she's a very prim very proper that's the character she plays and one night she says oh you know that's the end of the stream

136
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:09,680
good night everyone and she forgets to end the stream so what happens well she throws back a couple of cold ones and starts gushing over the other

137
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:27,520
girls in the company that she works for called live on in oh hmm hmm hmm things sort of go a little sideways after that because she gets a call in the morning from her manager that says I need you to stay calm with them about to say

138
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:47,160
and your stream right now she and she in that moment just loses it she's been live the whole time the hot mic is real oh my god so dust that was out into something bad or positive

139
00:29:48,200 --> 00:30:09,720
so while talking with her manager she said the manitrisis or what took the mask so long to come off because I guess they're in the interview process she was a little you know a little unhinged as they say so now she now she gets to not play a character she just gets to be her

140
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:17,320
so the next time she starts a stream she starts taking questions from the viewers and uh

141
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:24,120
says a lot of things that would probably be otherwise unbecoming a vtuber culture like

142
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:36,200
wildly so I don't know how familiar you are with the term say so with that means you know you're very pure you're very you know

143
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:42,840
straightforward this is a very unsafe so show blind you because she's talks about um

144
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:50,200
glooning for the other girls and you see a hot woman you should rub one out and i'm like excuse me

145
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:53,800
interested and

146
00:30:53,800 --> 00:31:03,000
my favorite thing about this is that Ava Yuki is played by Ayane Sokara and when she goes ham she goes ham

147
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:09,240
so it's like yeah no this was kind of kind of a great casting choice so

148
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:16,840
and she kind of goes from being like this down in the dumpster and no subscribers uh

149
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:23,880
vtuber to like oh now everyone wants to see what she has to say about other stuff and now

150
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:29,720
the weirdo collaborations are gonna start rolling in and she gets to just be pissed drunk on camera

151
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:36,040
all the time and it's like you're living the dream honey i don't see how any of that can go wrong

152
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:43,320
in the long run it's fine don't worry about it maybe but yeah but it seems like you're very interested

153
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:51,000
to see the train wreck unfold yes as someone who has gotten deeper into vtuber culture than I would have

154
00:31:51,000 --> 00:32:00,200
thought over the past three years this the show speaks a little too more directly to me than I would have

155
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:07,640
thought of course you can tell with the name of the show it's based off of a light novel but you know it's

156
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:14,360
i'm sort of we've said this before thank you for light novels that aren't Esekai's yes

157
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:20,200
i mean i guess you could kind of make the argument because the main character is playing a character

158
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:25,960
but you know truth is stranger than fiction so it's fine she's not being transported to a different world

159
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:32,600
it's just like that's something else entirely like it's not unheard of for there to be vtubers like this

160
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:40,040
i guess if you want this experience in rl i would want you to pipkin pipa because she is uh

161
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:50,840
boy she is but yeah and it's not totally unheard of to have like a completely unhinged

162
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:58,360
character like this as your as your oh she as the as it was which we'll come back around to that

163
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:06,280
word in a few minutes actually um but yeah i i think this has the potential to just be stupid and fun

164
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:12,840
so you know kind of lampooning again that truth is stranger than fiction what do you got

165
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:23,480
well sounds like fun uh speaking of stuff that is Esekai i broke my rule of trying to abstain from most

166
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:31,400
Esekai's days and watch suicide squad Esekai oh my god oh my god dude shake up please asking

167
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:39,800
the other night if you were gonna watch that and i had no idea well it exists and it's it's what's

168
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:48,200
on the what's on the name plate like we have Amanda Waller you know the leader of your government

169
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:54,920
institution whatever task force X open support to a fantasy world and sends the suicide squad

170
00:33:54,920 --> 00:34:01,560
into establish a base and it's your typical Esekai fantasy world with dragons and every shit and

171
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:09,000
goblins and the first thing the guys do is kill a bunch of goblins because they mess they they

172
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:14,120
mess with the wrong guys and it's you know it's the usual setup a couple of well-known deceivalents in

173
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:20,760
this k-hawi-quin that shot peacemaker clay face and king shark bombs in their necks get detonated if

174
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:26,840
they misbehave or are not in reach of the transmitter every 72 hours and yeah so they get just

175
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:32,600
sent into this world and now find out what it's going on but also maybe they're not the only one

176
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:39,480
there is a rivaling faction probably who is bonding with some other people like making lines with

177
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:44,840
some other people already in the kingdom and in this world and whatever so we'll see what the

178
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:50,520
leads to i only saw the first episode and it's all the characters have that classic power sets but

179
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:57,240
their behavior has of course been anime fight like clay face being the most extreme example i would say he's

180
00:34:57,240 --> 00:35:07,480
very uh... anime theatrical you might know what i want to try to say with that one yeah i mean the image

181
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:13,160
I have in my head is just of the version of him that was in the animated series no no no well

182
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:17,960
the character designs it is our super anime like their anime is fuck it's not even like an

183
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:26,120
interpretation it's like downright complete anime uh... vacation off these characters and he is

184
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:31,480
like this swath well dressed actor guy because play for us it is an actor in in the original comics or

185
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:39,640
at least in the animated series and but he's an anime actor so he's like tunis fuck and he's like

186
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:45,640
every he's very excitable and he's always doing like speeches and everything and very with a lot of

187
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:51,080
bravado which he absolutely is not in the animated series for example that's not the interpretation

188
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:57,160
you're getting there and he's the complete opposite of that but he's fun and of course the fights look

189
00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:06,280
very well animated show because it's animated by studio win-off all studios is it is so yeah it looks

190
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:10,280
really good like you have in the beginning you have a chase scene with joker and holly in a car and

191
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:18,600
looks fantastic and uh... yeah it's just it's very poppy very colorful very bright uh like i said good

192
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:23,160
action uh... the performance of fun i'm watching it in japanese so i feel like maybe i should watch it

193
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:29,080
in english it feels like at one of these shows where maybe i'm torn because i'm like property

194
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:35,160
origin wise i feel like i should watch this in english but since it's done by a japanese studio

195
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:39,720
and the characters designs are very anime and the story is very anime i should maybe watch it in

196
00:36:39,720 --> 00:36:47,000
japanese i don't know that's that is absolutely yes absolutely i mean right now it feels like

197
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:50,840
japanese is the right choice especially because of the performance of certain characters because it

198
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:58,760
just felt it just feels too anime to watch it in english and not feel like this this feels strange to me

199
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:04,360
i don't know the english voice cast but would be fun if they brought in you know some of the actual

200
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:10,520
actors or voice actors you know that have claps we've been there like but let john scene a bp smaker in it

201
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:15,720
i did not look it up considering what kind of money it might be hinders because one of bros

202
00:37:15,720 --> 00:37:21,000
japan is also like producing this of course and everything i don't know maybe some big names are in

203
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:26,440
that i didn't look it up but if i ever review it i will tell you about it but uh yeah so far i

204
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:31,240
don't know what is the story is gonna go anywhere interesting so far it seems like a just a fun

205
00:37:31,240 --> 00:37:36,600
rom with good action and maybe that's enough for me i don't know it's just i just took a look at

206
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:40,360
this because of that because i was like hey i know these characters i like these characters and

207
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:47,080
this is an unusual setting an interesting spin for these dc comith characters in particular and

208
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:53,320
if you would pick any of the more well-known franchise at this point suicide squad makes the most

209
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:59,160
sense i mean they did bad man ninja a while ago but that wasn't completely different a you take to

210
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:03,720
a certain degree i think although let me just get to the sport it as well i think there was also an

211
00:38:03,720 --> 00:38:11,320
easy-cut it's sure or at least a time travel show no that's one of many things you're gonna yell at me

212
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:18,040
again one of many movies that i own physically and i still have not watched it's it's it's okay it's

213
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:23,320
like that you do have watched it yet but it's it's a fun movie it's really fun the only hangout maybe

214
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:29,960
it being CG but it's good CG so yeah it's it's that's a fun movie that's still slightly different from

215
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:36,440
what we're getting here i feel like at least in the beginning things might get even more ludicrous

216
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:42,680
down the road but yeah i like what i saw i had fun with it i don't know if it will stay that way so

217
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:48,600
it's still a maybe like if they don't do anything interesting with the story in this uh then it might

218
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:55,160
not be enough to keep being interested or and uh we'll see but yeah for now this is just it's just ludicrous

219
00:38:55,160 --> 00:39:03,960
that this exists with that fucking title and that is actually kind of fun and good for now so we'll see

220
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:08,680
i wonder how many people actually gonna watch it i don't know where it's even running i must

221
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:14,600
assume on max or something yeah i think it says on the website max and who will okay so they

222
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:21,400
so it will probably have enough viewers but uh yeah that's that john do you have another maybe or are we

223
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:29,000
ready to move into the keepers my last maybe is probably just going to be a keeper but uh

226
00:39:51,240 --> 00:39:59,160

236
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:23,240
it's a lot i mean we have to watch some off-girl to comedies some surreal stuff in this show i've

237
00:41:23,240 --> 00:41:29,400
watched haven't you heard i'm sacchar moto which definitely this feels like it's going for a similar

238
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:38,920
why a vibe in terms of what is happening why is this happening why is this show just why and yeah

239
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:45,080
that's why but i left so many times in this first episode because studio got to cook

240
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:53,560
something weird with this one my god like already like this the first the very first scene where you

241
00:41:53,560 --> 00:42:02,360
have like this horrible looking CG deer that is in this show for some reason with normally had drawn

242
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:10,280
characters and animated characters and it's appearing in the weirdest scenes and over and over again

243
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:19,000
and then you have no cotan stuck in the power lines and for some reason there are hyenas and

244
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:27,480
vultures in this city were trying to get her and then later and then after a tour of course saves her

245
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:34,840
and then she sits in class later of course of course the foreign exchange student that is being announced

246
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:41,720
today is of course no cotan how could it be any other way like and everyone is reacting completely

247
00:42:41,720 --> 00:42:48,120
unfazed by no cotan breaking the classroom door and wall with her horns when she's walking into the

248
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:56,440
classroom and people getting hit by the debris while the shika march is menacefully played in the

249
00:42:56,440 --> 00:43:04,760
background shika shika shika shika only torako has the appropriate reaction that's situation i feel

250
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:10,120
like and the narrator is like fourth wall commenting that it's a common anime show that the only

251
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:19,240
free seat in the classes next to torako of course i mean yeah it is but usually the narrator's don't

252
00:43:19,240 --> 00:43:26,520
comment on that but yeah so there's that and then for some reason everyone is freaking out about

253
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:34,840
torako being a delinquent but not about the deer girl when that gets revealed and in the name of a

254
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:39,480
freak out about whether or not she's a virgin yes and the teacher squeezing two shots of shedded

255
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:45,560
door glass out of her head and shock and two deer suddenly standing in the doorway and also turning

256
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:54,440
their heads in that scene i was fantastic like that whole scene in the classroom i i couldn't stop laughing

257
00:43:54,440 --> 00:44:03,720
it was so fucking surreal and stupid and funny and dumb and there's so many more scenes in this first

258
00:44:03,720 --> 00:44:10,440
episode that make no sense but also really funny like no cotan drooling like an actual waterfall

259
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:17,960
with again that music thing and then slipping all over the place because of the drool excellent

260
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:26,600
face game also in this anime like the faces are really good there oh my god there's so much about

261
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:33,080
this show it's a lot it is absolutely love but i kind of love it let me too right now i do the problem

262
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:38,200
is i have absolutely no idea where they're going with this like torako gets roped into becoming the

263
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:44,440
president of a deer club like her main job apparently being to take care of no cotan now like brushing

264
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:54,520
her hair okay and her race cracker speaking of how about the ending yes in the ending we have live action

265
00:44:54,520 --> 00:45:06,120
footage of deer and the production of deer crackers sure i i i asked someone a friend of mine i'll say

266
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:13,720
what is this show in all i see was an effort to boost tourism to the nara prefectural it could

267
00:45:13,720 --> 00:45:21,720
see was maybe maybe yes it could very well be the case i credible as all i could say about this

268
00:45:21,720 --> 00:45:27,960
like it's incredible like so many deer puns and believe me if we do want to review there will be a lot more

269
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:36,920
and uh yeah the in the op that that blink and you miss it moment where there is like you deer instead of

270
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:44,040
you died like the dark soul stroke god oh my god the first time i saw that i just about like

271
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:50,120
actually died fantastic uh so yeah the sense of human to show is great i have no idea where this is

272
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:55,720
going if this gonna make sense at any time if the joke's gonna stay that level of quality and surs

273
00:45:55,720 --> 00:46:03,560
surreal non-sequitur goodness we'll see the marketing has been genius in the memes have been

274
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:10,440
fresh too um um i showed you a couple of my favorites yes

275
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:19,160
because before they they didn't they purposely held back what the actual intro sequence was

276
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:27,640
until the day it aired and they and they put up this super long loop of tarako dancing with pen

277
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:33,080
lights in front of a deer with you know the chicanoco noco nococochita and time playing and it was

278
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:37,960
like this super i think it was an hour or ten hour long loop but people would take that and just

279
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:42,920
like they were just like me and go for just have fun everyone like they they know they know what they

280
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:49,400
got on their hands and for now it's working so we see where this is going i can't see myself like

281
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:54,840
completely getting absorbed by this but also completely dropping off from it after a couple of

282
00:46:54,840 --> 00:47:00,200
episodes because it's always the same joke and it gets less and less funny we'll see i have no

283
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:08,200
idea for now it's just an avalanche of nonsense thrown in our faces and i will see where this goes

284
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:14,520
it's really exciting it's definitely the show of the season in more ways than one for sure for sure

285
00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:22,520
but apparently it's not your only key maybe keeper what else do you got because i don't have anything

286
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:29,880
anymore well my other keepers are most you just returning shows so one what talk about a little bit

287
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:41,640
more about but the first one is a near automata version 1.1 a part 2 the version numbers did you know

288
00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:48,440
that in the remaster of near replicant the version number in the title is the square root of two

289
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:54,360
now you know well i learned something today

290
00:47:55,960 --> 00:48:01,000
like because it's just a nonsense number and then people did the math and they're like no it's the

291
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:11,320
square root two oh oh okay all right but yeah this is a continuation of the adaptation of the game

292
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:19,720
of the same name they're still doing this weird thing where they're maybe trying to link to

293
00:48:19,720 --> 00:48:27,160
it think it together with a gestalt slash replicant it's not 100% clear how they're going about it but

294
00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:35,880
and they've had like sort of brief flashes to locations from the first game and i wonder how

295
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:42,760
they're going to like reconcile that because there's nothing like that in automata in the game proper

296
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:49,800
so that is the same universe right maybe it's not clear i don't go too much into detail because

297
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:55,480
believe it or not i still haven't played any of these games so i plan watch the anime ones once i've

298
00:48:55,480 --> 00:49:03,080
played through replicant and automata as far as i knew automata plate takes place way way way way

299
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:11,720
way in the future where as replicant and gestalt only take place way into the future

300
00:49:11,720 --> 00:49:21,960
okay so i i don't know it's like and to be perfectly transparent i still have not finished

301
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:28,520
replicant i got to the end of the first half like there is a clear cutoff between the two halves of

302
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:35,560
the game and i got and to the end of the first half and i need to eventually get back to it like

303
00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:40,440
i don't know if i told i i know i said this to you and the others i don't know if i've said this on

304
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:49,960
the podcast but before the your HUD dark apocalypse alliance raids released in ff 14 shadow bringers

305
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:56,200
i sort of was like okay i'm gonna sit down and play automata and i did thinking oh you know

306
00:49:56,200 --> 00:50:01,320
it's it's an action game there'll be a quick 20 hours i put 70 hours into that game

307
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:06,440
getting every single achievement and i would do it all over again because that game is fantastic

308
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:14,760
right um but yeah i'm i'm just curious there's other weird wrinkles to the plot as well where it's like

309
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:21,240
i'm sort of watching like um i don't think i remember things happening quite like that what are

310
00:50:21,240 --> 00:50:28,120
you guys cooking what are you doing so you know want to see more of where it goes and the more of

311
00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:33,320
their interpretation of the events of the game and still very pretty it's still handled by a one

312
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:42,600
so nice and then my last keeper is return of oh shinoko uh this centers around uh the tokyo blade arc

313
00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:50,680
which is um the characters are all taking part in the adaptation the stage play adaptation

314
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:57,000
of this manga of the same name and you know they've had their rehearsal so far and this that and the

315
00:50:57,000 --> 00:51:03,160
other thing and everything's going great until the uh original creator of the manga comes in and she's

316
00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:11,480
like hey y'all are working really hard but uh can we revise the script oh yeah sure what part

317
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:19,800
all of it oh no and that sits in that bull boy that sets off a big fire storm because the manga

318
00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:27,320
creator this uh grow abiko sensei has a lot of choice words about the script writer and it's a

319
00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:34,280
less feel real bad for the script writer but also you know it's one thing that's want to see your

320
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:41,640
creation get done it's due justice so it's it's hard to say one side is wrong you know what i mean

321
00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:48,600
so and you know that's that and this is still in the service of aqua trying to

322
00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:55,560
worm his way up the ladder of trying to make connections to find out you know who was the murderer of his

323
00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:59,960
of uh his mother it's you know still really weird to say that i think he was

324
00:51:59,960 --> 00:52:08,760
not isekai reekai yeah i was about to ask if this is how does this still connect to the overall

325
00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:13,720
arching mystery but now i know so that's good that they that they haven't forgotten about that because

326
00:52:13,720 --> 00:52:19,880
that seemed like the most enticing aspect of this weird story yeah yeah so it that is definitely

327
00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:26,920
the through line on this i still have to say it's really weird watching this in the same season as

328
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:34,120
no coton and that's because kana in oh shinoko and no coton are both played by the same girl mego

329
00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:41,080
mihan so we hearing that switch flip back and forth it's like oh god what is happening in my brain

330
00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:49,640
so but yes please watch out of them back to back so you get maximum confused

331
00:52:50,520 --> 00:53:00,440
yes oh my god i really i really enjoyed the first season of oh shinoko like surprise i was really

332
00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:06,440
surprised i'm much i enjoyed it and so i'm here for to see where it goes beyond this i'm curious

333
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:12,680
about you know how what happens with the stage play how this furlors the mystery and you know

334
00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:18,600
everything else surrounding that so definitely a keeper and still it still looks just as good as the

335
00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:26,040
first season doge cobo is doing great work the new opening sequence is it's really it's a really good one

336
00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:30,840
i don't know i don't know what they're not i'd say it like i don't know whether or not to say i

337
00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:38,840
like it more or less than the yoa soi song from the first season what's it's tough call but

338
00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:44,600
there there's a lot to really i think enjoy about this and i'm really looking forward to more of that

339
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:51,400
cool that's sad all right then we're done with the sneak peak not that many shows this time around that

340
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:56,280
are absolute super keepers at least not for me but jungal couple so we'll see we'll see what this

341
00:53:56,280 --> 00:54:04,040
results into for a review for reviews for next season but also there are some shows that are still

342
00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:10,120
running on my and like slime time and hero academia though these might be quick time quick time

343
00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:18,360
this might be a queen the dead review so we'll see but yeah with that done let's move on over to

344
00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:21,560
the first review of this review season

345
00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:36,680
all right yeah back to demon slayer getting close to the anterior guys this is the

346
00:54:37,720 --> 00:54:42,280
dot is it depend ultimate arc like the so we're talking about the hashiura training arc

347
00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:50,760
which is the new season the fourth the fifth the fourth technically right because

348
00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:56,120
yeah i mean i guess it's the fifth but it's also the fourth depending on how you get

349
00:54:56,120 --> 00:55:01,000
yeah that's why did since they've been naming the seasons after arcs it's not really clear

350
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:04,040
where they make the distinction between seasons because the

351
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:10,120
damaged the mogen train arc the demon train arc and the the the entertainment district arc

352
00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:16,760
were technically both season two because there it was a two course show but yeah you could also say

353
00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:22,760
there is their respective season because there was a break between it so who fucking knows but yeah

354
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:27,800
i mean in some of the arcs are broken down to sub arcs like the first one is the unwavering

355
00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:34,840
resolve arc which is broken down into final selection kidnappers bag asakusa tsumi mansion mountain

356
00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:46,440
naga nata gumo and rehabilitation training but the next arc after this again is broken down into sub arcs

357
00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:52,280
but we have the final battle arc with the infinity castle and sunrise countdown after this so we're

358
00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:57,640
coming up on the end and i would assume that it sounds like they're going to turn all of these

359
00:55:57,640 --> 00:56:02,520
into movies first because we're gonna get the movie trilogy that at least covers the infinite

360
00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:09,400
castle arc depending on how they plan to name the anime adaptions come like maybe all three moves

361
00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:15,000
will be infinite castle arc part one two and three or they will switch to sunrise arc or whatever

362
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:23,800
after that so we'll see but yeah this is the blasts or the last smaller arc before

363
00:56:23,800 --> 00:56:29,080
shit hits the fan and it hits the fan already at the end of this of this particular season

364
00:56:29,640 --> 00:56:36,280
i mean apparently going up of chapters the infinity castle arc is like the longest one

365
00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:41,320
so it's probably just gonna be this three movies and maybe something else is gonna come after that

366
00:56:41,320 --> 00:56:49,960
i guess i mean it yeah it's it's 44 chapters which the next longest arc is

367
00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:55,080
well non-looking through this real quick the next longest one is the entertainment district arc at

368
00:56:55,080 --> 00:57:05,080
31 so that only was one score of a season so yeah so i mean at i know we've said this before about

369
00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:13,880
the show but they have been good about keeping things moving at a very brisk pace so despite some of our

370
00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:18,920
misgivings about some parts of this being maybe too standard at least in the beginning i feel like

371
00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:26,600
to show gotten better about this over time well this arc maybe being the exception because it's

372
00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:31,800
like it's going back a bit or going to really you know training arcs or standard stuff in better

373
00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:39,320
shown series pretty much like the tournaments are but aside from that i was never bored with

374
00:57:39,320 --> 00:57:44,920
with this show like i always was entertained to a degree it's like some parts more than others

375
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:51,160
the entertainment district arc was thenly one of the highlights for me and definitely the sort of

376
00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:57,640
village arc after that might be one my favorite season so far like these two probably like that

377
00:57:57,640 --> 00:58:03,240
batch of episodes like entertainment district and then that one i mean i also like demon train arc

378
00:58:03,240 --> 00:58:09,640
so i i liked all of these to an extent but i feel like those like the things that i really enjoy maybe

379
00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:16,440
at least in retrospect i might have phrased it a bit differently in our reviews of these but just

380
00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:22,840
thinking of hey okay maybe zenitsu wasn't assanoying in that arc in that arc he wasn't even there so that's

381
00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:30,280
great so that's a big qualify but he wasn't around quite as much as i would have thought this time yeah

382
00:58:30,280 --> 00:58:36,200
i also liked that every time he was around i was incredibly annoyed by him but he is not there

383
00:58:36,200 --> 00:58:40,760
that in that many episodes that it seems like they're gonna do something interesting with him in the

384
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:46,520
next in the movies coming up like in the next arc because they're they're playing a bit like

385
00:58:46,520 --> 00:58:51,480
quite there's like he gets a message at the end of this pretty much at the end and then he seems

386
00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:55,560
to have a separate mission and we don't know what that is we don't know if he's maybe a traitor

387
00:58:55,560 --> 00:59:00,600
for some reason right if he gets got recruited by the demons or whatever or he if he got a separate

388
00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:09,720
mission from the which is what i assume that he got a separate mission by from ubuyashiki to do

389
00:59:09,720 --> 00:59:17,480
something whenever that is and we'll see so that's interesting they're finally doing something interesting

390
00:59:17,480 --> 00:59:23,240
I mean he had some good parts in the entertainment district arc you know when he was undercover in

391
00:59:23,240 --> 00:59:28,440
the brothel and everything so that was pretty cool he had some good stuff there but aside from that

392
00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:32,760
he's just the character i'm least interested in so it's nice that they do something we're like oh

393
00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:40,600
okay we'll see where this is going so yeah but maybe we should start with with how the show is starting

394
00:59:40,600 --> 00:59:45,880
so this is picking up after immediately after the swordsmith village arc our character still

395
00:59:45,880 --> 00:59:57,480
recovering from the tough fights there and now hearing up because nizuko got revealed as

396
00:59:58,840 --> 01:00:05,880
the legendary or a legendary whatever it has never happened before i think demon that can walk

397
01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:12,760
in the sun she's a daywalker like blade and mousan wants that power and demon slayer core is aware

398
01:00:12,760 --> 01:00:19,000
of that so they plan to set up a trap or at least they want to prepare for the final battle because

399
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:27,480
they must assume that mousan will collect her will will try to abduct nizuko because he needs her

400
01:00:27,480 --> 01:00:34,600
either as an ingredient or who knows to make himself immortal make himself invulnerable to the sun

401
01:00:34,600 --> 01:00:39,640
because at this point this is kind of his only vulnerability and he wants to eradicate that because

402
01:00:39,640 --> 01:00:47,720
he wants to be immortal he wants to live forever for whatever reason and so yes the demon slayer

403
01:00:47,720 --> 01:00:52,600
core is aware of that so they're doing big trainings getting all the cadets up to speed especially

404
01:00:52,600 --> 01:00:58,440
tangerine of course because sister most promising prospect and everything to prepare for this final

405
01:00:58,440 --> 01:01:06,760
battle and this is most of what this arc revolves around we have tangerine going through not every episode

406
01:01:06,760 --> 01:01:13,160
but every episode takes like a different member of the hashira like the big demon slayer guys and

407
01:01:13,160 --> 01:01:19,240
we learn a bit about them i mean some of them we all really got to know can roji and tokyto in the

408
01:01:19,240 --> 01:01:24,120
previous season and we definitely learned something about them i feel like tokyto got the more

409
01:01:24,120 --> 01:01:31,160
substantial thing stuff there but yeah so we got but didn't don't know as much about the some of the

410
01:01:31,160 --> 01:01:36,600
others yet so we get to know them a bit more in this season not all of them super well like we learned

411
01:01:36,600 --> 01:01:43,160
something of course about this nekashira the winthashira the winthashira being the brother of

412
01:01:43,160 --> 01:01:50,440
ganya or we learned something about in the previous season and also about his relation to his brother

413
01:01:50,440 --> 01:01:56,840
that gets but extended on in this season and his brother is still an asshole and uh yeah and then

414
01:01:56,840 --> 01:02:02,920
we learn about the stone as well who also has an interesting connection to the the leader of the clan

415
01:02:02,920 --> 01:02:09,000
to ubuyashiki and everything and yeah i feel some of them get more screen time them others and get

416
01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:15,560
some more interesting development than others uh but this is most most of the episode and episodes

417
01:02:15,560 --> 01:02:26,040
until the final one final two maybe yeah come up where uh things start to get the fan and i don't know

418
01:02:26,040 --> 01:02:34,360
you felt about the the actual training art john i felt it was a bit petty like like like like it

419
01:02:34,360 --> 01:02:42,520
felt a bit like padding i get that but after we've been moving a hundred miles an hour i kind of like

420
01:02:42,520 --> 01:02:47,880
that this was like okay yes sure i mean let's slow let's slow down a little bit for a minute it's

421
01:02:47,880 --> 01:02:53,080
good that we have a breather between because now we can expect like the next couple of movies and

422
01:02:53,080 --> 01:02:59,720
how many ever episodes that those get turned into in the tv version to be just a complete action blast

423
01:02:59,720 --> 01:03:04,280
so yeah and we have action to this don't get me wrong like there's action in the training sequences

424
01:03:04,280 --> 01:03:11,880
but this is most be focused on getting to know uh some more of these characters and also having

425
01:03:11,880 --> 01:03:20,040
tangero growing into new roles like learning to do other things in in battle like learning to

426
01:03:20,040 --> 01:03:28,280
how to fight as more as a unit learning more to i don't know uh to to fulfill a leader role

427
01:03:28,280 --> 01:03:37,400
that is at least the first training section um is it usui who does this uh yeah so that's interesting

428
01:03:37,400 --> 01:03:45,400
and he has to he has to face different battle situations uh and diff has to overcome the different

429
01:03:45,400 --> 01:03:50,280
styles of all the different hashi like this nekashir has like this very weird training section

430
01:03:50,280 --> 01:03:56,920
where he creates like this very narrow training environments uh for tangero where he has to

431
01:03:57,960 --> 01:04:03,160
be really careful not to hit his teammates because you know some other people might be in the battle

432
01:04:03,160 --> 01:04:08,920
and uh the demons might use the massacres so he needs to know how to fight them without hurting his

433
01:04:08,920 --> 01:04:13,640
teammates and whatever and that's what he loads with the snake hashi and whatever so that's interesting

434
01:04:13,640 --> 01:04:19,400
like we have different battle scenarios and some of those also include some character development

435
01:04:19,400 --> 01:04:27,160
i feel like maybe some of the strongest things we see are definitely with him and

436
01:04:27,800 --> 01:04:33,720
tomioka those are good and yeah it's out outside of that we get a bit of surface level of some of

437
01:04:33,720 --> 01:04:41,480
the other characters like i feel we learn less than this about uh shina shina zugawa you know the other

438
01:04:41,480 --> 01:04:47,000
shina zugawa brother who's the brother of ganyah like i mentioned before then we learned about him

439
01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:53,960
in the previous season when yeah i mean he's just kind of there like yelling scream at his brother i

440
01:04:53,960 --> 01:04:57,560
mean he tries to endure himself to me by knocking zenith out with a heart necktrop

441
01:04:57,560 --> 01:05:03,960
yeah but you know so bad he's also still an asshole especially to his brother i know he's

442
01:05:03,960 --> 01:05:09,080
being so hard because he wants to protect ganyah by getting him to quit the core but there's

443
01:05:09,080 --> 01:05:14,360
got to be a better way like the the you know when we got to learn about ganyah in the previous

444
01:05:14,360 --> 01:05:20,360
season that was evident that his brother is doing that to protect ganyah but the way he goes about

445
01:05:20,360 --> 01:05:28,040
this is just so wrong headed i feel like all of the interactions with all the other hashiro were a lot

446
01:05:28,040 --> 01:05:35,160
more what's the word i'm looking for not interested hmm substantial maybe yeah more substantial more

447
01:05:35,160 --> 01:05:42,360
you felt like tangero got something out of their training sessions right with each of them it didn't

448
01:05:42,360 --> 01:05:47,080
feel like that with necessarily which he knows ago yeah like feel like there was a bit more

449
01:05:47,080 --> 01:05:53,640
that yes i think there's a bit more to empathize and get invested with them because you know they

450
01:05:53,640 --> 01:06:00,440
showed them you know more than just the one side of them like even iiguro you know he turned out to

451
01:06:00,440 --> 01:06:07,800
be you know not such a jerk you know he he's he's doing what he's doing to toughen up the demon slayer

452
01:06:07,800 --> 01:06:12,280
core and you know we get to sort of see that at least in his head a little bit whereas

453
01:06:12,920 --> 01:06:20,280
she knows who guay is just like okay dude all right sure like we get it but not really

454
01:06:20,280 --> 01:06:27,560
yeah i mean i loved his exchange with tangero like tangero saying looking forward to training under you

455
01:06:27,560 --> 01:06:33,400
and and she was a guy was saying haven't accepted you yet and tangero responding with that doesn't

456
01:06:33,400 --> 01:06:37,240
bottomy at all i'm not accepting you either since you step by sister you little bitch

457
01:06:37,240 --> 01:06:42,600
yes i'm paraphrasing but that's what it came down to and tangero is the king i mean

458
01:06:42,920 --> 01:06:47,720
there's a reason why it's the main character in this and yeah so that was really really cool like

459
01:06:47,720 --> 01:06:53,960
having this really smock expression on his face while he's saying that and that that killed me i

460
01:06:53,960 --> 01:06:59,240
loved that and he really pissed she knows how to go off with that because he didn't expect such

461
01:06:59,240 --> 01:07:05,000
disrespect respect from him but you know tangero can always back it up usually so that's that's

462
01:07:05,000 --> 01:07:12,360
really fun i enjoyed that part of that particular interaction you know that part of the arc

463
01:07:12,760 --> 01:07:18,600
of that training session but yeah you you're right it felt like outside of that all the other things

464
01:07:18,600 --> 01:07:25,960
had something where tangero really learned something from the other hasura and also at the same time

465
01:07:25,960 --> 01:07:33,320
through their interaction with him made them a bit more got them a bit closer to to their students

466
01:07:33,320 --> 01:07:40,280
like making the students realize that the hasura are not just like the super brutal untouchable

467
01:07:40,280 --> 01:07:47,720
training gods or fighting gods but that they're actually people behind this curtain so and i

468
01:07:47,720 --> 01:07:53,240
feel like a lot of that was for a lot of these realizations by the other you know kind of faceless

469
01:07:53,240 --> 01:08:01,800
demons demons slayer cob members was or or trainees the catalyst for that was mostly tangero because

470
01:08:01,800 --> 01:08:06,600
he trained together with them and he was the one who sought out the interaction the actual

471
01:08:07,720 --> 01:08:12,920
interaction and connection with their teachers with the with the hasura that was interesting and we

472
01:08:12,920 --> 01:08:18,520
didn't get that which she knows ago i think yeah we i mean we can go through them one by one in the

473
01:08:18,520 --> 01:08:26,520
beginning like we we have like this a bit of extension on what might be the origin of of all

474
01:08:26,520 --> 01:08:34,440
of of of of tangero tangero and his powers and everything and what is actually fueling the

475
01:08:34,440 --> 01:08:40,440
demonslayer core in terms of or at least the hasura in terms of power sets like the breathing

476
01:08:40,440 --> 01:08:46,760
techniques and everything like in their fights from the previous season kandruji and uh which hero

477
01:08:46,760 --> 01:08:53,640
okay though at the march of the first breathing techniques appear on them which until now only

478
01:08:53,640 --> 01:09:00,600
appeared on tangero and because kandruji is a tangero type i ship it i mean their names are basically

479
01:09:00,600 --> 01:09:06,920
the same with some letters move to different places uh god she can't explain why this happens

480
01:09:06,920 --> 01:09:13,560
very well but which of us as it was because he exceeded a certain number of heartbeats per minute

481
01:09:13,560 --> 01:09:19,320
and body temperature i don't know if that was she it's really just that and if like down the road

482
01:09:19,320 --> 01:09:24,520
they're maybe gonna reveal no no it's actually there's there's a psychological component to it as well

483
01:09:24,520 --> 01:09:30,360
for now they're sticking with that it's like about heartbeats per minute and you know

484
01:09:30,840 --> 01:09:35,320
kandruji has also some doubts about this so if the show even has one character doubt this

485
01:09:35,320 --> 01:09:39,720
i was like okay maybe there's a wrinkle to this like how can they affect of uh active all of them

486
01:09:39,720 --> 01:09:43,880
activated for a breathing technique which they probably have to do to beat the final set of demons

487
01:09:43,880 --> 01:09:49,800
right so it's interesting uh we have some other development for other characters nizukus getting

488
01:09:49,800 --> 01:09:55,720
better at speaking which makes it all the more regretful that she is not in this season at all

489
01:09:55,720 --> 01:09:59,880
yeah just when she i was surprised by that just which you

490
01:09:59,880 --> 01:10:06,040
fucking you finally give that character with no agency besides of i'm gonna protect my brother

491
01:10:06,040 --> 01:10:12,280
i can't verbalize my thoughts i have to do it through gestures and everything and we don't look into

492
01:10:12,280 --> 01:10:18,600
her into her head or anything to hear her thoughts just when you give that character a voice

493
01:10:18,600 --> 01:10:25,480
you cut her out completely off the sh- oh god damn it intuition like one scene wasn't she at the

494
01:10:25,480 --> 01:10:30,280
very beginning when we hear talk to some people and i was like oh now she's gotten better she can't

495
01:10:30,280 --> 01:10:35,080
speak now and she's gotten better at it i think it's like the first episode of maybe some bits in

496
01:10:35,080 --> 01:10:40,120
the first two episodes and that's it after that it's only you know a gang of three and the hashura

497
01:10:40,120 --> 01:10:50,760
like well also why can't she be in the training sessions why can't she could fight before and now she

498
01:10:50,760 --> 01:10:57,480
i mean maybe they are afraid that the hashura will just kill her but i don't know they never

499
01:10:57,480 --> 01:11:03,560
say that and it's just so weird because she's a powerhouse she's a good fighter now she doesn't have

500
01:11:03,560 --> 01:11:09,320
to hide in a box anymore she can just walk in the sun so why would you not like put her into the

501
01:11:09,320 --> 01:11:15,320
training so make her part of the way like have her and her brother together interact with the hashura

502
01:11:15,320 --> 01:11:21,080
to make the hashura overcome their prejudices especially that that would have been something you could

503
01:11:21,080 --> 01:11:26,760
have put into the stuff with into the park with she knows a gava because he seems to be the most

504
01:11:26,760 --> 01:11:34,440
diehard asshole narrow-minded piece of shit here and she could have been a one together with her

505
01:11:34,440 --> 01:11:39,560
brother like who maybe pulled him back from that a bit and made him look at things differently

506
01:11:39,560 --> 01:11:43,480
that would've been really interesting but instead they just completely abandoned her

507
01:11:44,440 --> 01:11:51,960
i was not super happy with that and i was wondering like why would you do this like stop treating

508
01:11:51,960 --> 01:11:59,560
this character so badly it's amazing every time i think well okay now they're gonna do something

509
01:11:59,560 --> 01:12:05,800
interesting with her and like completely complete opposite way she's really just a plot vehicle

510
01:12:05,800 --> 01:12:12,040
and that's the meaning and i don't know that that really sucked i mean i got over it pretty quickly

511
01:12:12,040 --> 01:12:19,240
but when when i realized that she wasn't coming back it's like okay and we don't know where she is

512
01:12:19,240 --> 01:12:24,120
right now right we expect it moose on to get her at the end and then disappear and that being the

513
01:12:24,120 --> 01:12:29,320
catalyst for all the demons layer co-going after him but we don't even know where she is like did

514
01:12:29,320 --> 01:12:35,880
he already get his hands on her probably not did someone else i wonder if the implication is that

515
01:12:36,680 --> 01:12:43,480
she's just hanging out with tomayo while tomayo is doing her research and who knows where they i don't

516
01:12:43,480 --> 01:12:48,040
i mean tomayo has a different role in this as well and that's why she's here and we'll get to that

517
01:12:48,040 --> 01:12:52,680
because that gets revealed in the final episode of the season but that's true that's right but you

518
01:12:52,680 --> 01:12:57,560
know maybe she's also there because of her but we don't really see them interact much either

519
01:12:57,560 --> 01:13:03,160
and it's like hey where's where's nezuko what what is happening i mean maybe she's shut up she's

520
01:13:03,160 --> 01:13:07,960
around maybe they want to keep that a mystery to keep the tension hides he oh god did the humans already

521
01:13:07,960 --> 01:13:12,360
get her because it's not like moose on is the only demon still alive right he still has some lieutenant's

522
01:13:12,360 --> 01:13:17,480
left so maybe one of them got to her and that's gonna get revealed in the in the upcoming movies and

523
01:13:17,480 --> 01:13:23,880
everything but it doesn't feel like he did because i would imagine if he did he would have already

524
01:13:23,880 --> 01:13:30,040
gloated about her to booyashi ki and he didn't do that and moose allows to glow i feel like he feels

525
01:13:30,040 --> 01:13:35,560
like that kind of character who would do that so hmm i don't know it just felt super weird that

526
01:13:35,560 --> 01:13:40,840
she couldn't be in the training session and whatever and it's just like okay just show do something

527
01:13:40,840 --> 01:13:46,440
interesting with her you just turn turn it around you just gave her a voice and now you're gonna

528
01:13:46,440 --> 01:13:55,720
sideline her completely whatever so i hope how it is i guess not great but i hope she will have

529
01:13:56,440 --> 01:14:02,840
an important part to play in the upcoming movies whatever indeed i'm coming arcs outside of being the

530
01:14:02,840 --> 01:14:10,040
damsel in distress i really hope so because that was so if she was just gonna be a dancer and she was

531
01:14:10,040 --> 01:14:15,400
just gonna be a dancer that would be horrible so yeah we'll see but yeah that was that was one of

532
01:14:15,400 --> 01:14:20,680
wrinkles in the season where it's like man the other wrinkle being then it's so of course who was

533
01:14:20,680 --> 01:14:26,840
immediately getting on my nerves but yeah then tangiro finally gets his new shiny sword haga

534
01:14:26,840 --> 01:14:33,000
lezuka even put the cool fire blade guard from kio jurus sword on it cool it's a nice payoff from

535
01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:39,160
the previous season i feel like we have some nice interactions in this and later with this brother

536
01:14:39,160 --> 01:14:46,280
in the arc a little mini part with his brother with gania and tangiro gania only once peace and quiet

537
01:14:46,280 --> 01:14:51,400
and instead has to deal with boats in it so and inausca paying tangiro a visit one after another

538
01:14:51,400 --> 01:14:57,960
when they're trying to recover i felt so sorry for him deserved as he doesn't deserve his

539
01:14:57,960 --> 01:15:05,080
shitty brother and he didn't deserve that but yeah um we actually invite tamayo um which have we

540
01:15:05,080 --> 01:15:12,120
seen tamayo again before this after season one don't think we have so that was nice was like oh she's

541
01:15:12,120 --> 01:15:16,440
still alive she's still in part i guess and she invites her to his mention to join forces with the

542
01:15:16,440 --> 01:15:22,360
deem sleger core for investigating news nizuku's current state and other things even though she

543
01:15:22,360 --> 01:15:27,960
herself is a demon which is probably unheard of i guess i mean they now have nizuku there so maybe not

544
01:15:27,960 --> 01:15:32,600
but that was an interesting setup in the beginning and i was like oh i wonder if that when is that

545
01:15:32,600 --> 01:15:38,840
when that is gonna come back and it comes back in a big way but yeah the first training session

546
01:15:38,840 --> 01:15:45,000
that they're doing or that tangiro is trying to do is he is attempting to get gio to meoka the guy

547
01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:51,880
who basically got him into the deem sleger core uh to train him and open hop to him by pestering the

548
01:15:51,880 --> 01:15:59,800
shit out of him valid approach i guess so the interesting bits about tamayo kha we didn't know about

549
01:15:59,800 --> 01:16:05,320
yet which were teased with you know some random scenes and everything before is that he apparently

550
01:16:05,320 --> 01:16:11,160
never passed the final test to become the water hashira so he wanted tangiro to become it instead

551
01:16:11,160 --> 01:16:17,880
but tangio changed breathing techniques so to me to meoka is a bit upset with him at the beginning

552
01:16:17,880 --> 01:16:24,840
tangiro is trying to figure out why to meoka is upset with him he's like what what did i do so

553
01:16:24,840 --> 01:16:30,200
technically to meoka passed this selection but he didn't kill a single demon and only survive because

554
01:16:30,200 --> 01:16:35,720
his friend sabito saved him and sabito eventually was the only one who died in the selection so of

555
01:16:35,720 --> 01:16:42,520
khaos to meoka feels guilty he passed and his friend friend didn't and died and he feels unworthy of

556
01:16:42,520 --> 01:16:49,880
the title of water hashira and we've met sabito before right like tangiro saw a vision of him when he

557
01:16:49,880 --> 01:16:55,880
was doing that training with the water rating technique when he sliced that rock he that's right

558
01:16:55,880 --> 01:17:03,880
season you know sabito was marrying that fox mask or whatever so yeah that now we know who that was

559
01:17:03,880 --> 01:17:09,560
because i already had already forgotten about that but in the first is like who's who's that

560
01:17:09,560 --> 01:17:14,200
do we we ever learned this how we do so that's nice that they actually bringing back a lot of

561
01:17:14,200 --> 01:17:20,360
shit from the first season that was still like having a bit of an open end there a loose threat and

562
01:17:20,360 --> 01:17:25,160
are like no that is actually what that was and that makes it even more feel like okay we're gearing

563
01:17:25,160 --> 01:17:30,520
up for the finale guys because we're wrapping up all of this and i like when shows don't forget about

564
01:17:30,520 --> 01:17:37,560
that stuff it's a national bonus isn't it yes absolutely it's like oh no the the manga was actually

565
01:17:37,560 --> 01:17:43,720
thinking while writing this so that's nice taking notes i feel like odour is still the king of

566
01:17:43,720 --> 01:17:52,040
that where it's like to elude a christ amount where it's like why i how how how did you remember

567
01:17:52,600 --> 01:17:57,640
how did you bring that little shit from one episode like in the first ten episode of the show or whatever

568
01:17:57,640 --> 01:18:04,760
one piece is crazy anyway so tangero can empathize with tomioka's feelings you know about his friends

569
01:18:04,760 --> 01:18:10,600
and everything he knows what it's like to wish for yourself having died instead of a friend or family

570
01:18:10,600 --> 01:18:16,040
who protected you like he had the same experience again like like i said with his family you know

571
01:18:16,840 --> 01:18:23,640
but also with a ranger koo right in the umg and train arc so he reminds tomioka that it's his

572
01:18:23,640 --> 01:18:28,200
responsibility to pass on his friend's legacy which reminds tomioka of a conversation he had with

573
01:18:28,200 --> 01:18:35,240
sabito about that exact topic i think tomioka said he wished he died instead of his big sister who

574
01:18:35,240 --> 01:18:41,080
hit him from demons and died instead and sabito smacked the shit out of him for insulting her memory

575
01:18:41,080 --> 01:18:46,280
like that and that memory snaps tomioka out of his fun and he's like okay i'm gonna train you

576
01:18:46,280 --> 01:18:53,160
uh whatever tangero and also i'm not gonna be mad at you anymore for not wanting to become the

577
01:18:53,160 --> 01:19:01,160
water hashira or whatever so because technically uh tangero is now the new fire hashira after like

578
01:19:01,160 --> 01:19:06,280
taking up the mantle of ranger koo i guess so yeah that was really interesting there was that was one

579
01:19:06,280 --> 01:19:11,560
of the definitely better interactions where we got to look because tomioka up at this point i mean

580
01:19:11,560 --> 01:19:17,240
we we had he had a lot of screen time in the first season i guess but we didn't really learn that much

581
01:19:17,240 --> 01:19:21,720
about him and his background and now we do and that was really neat and definitely one of the more

582
01:19:21,720 --> 01:19:28,760
substantial bits in terms of character development in the season and then we got get uh next a training

583
01:19:28,760 --> 01:19:35,720
session with uzuji which is very hard but tangero is very motivated we have a kick ass group battle where

584
01:19:35,720 --> 01:19:44,040
tangero has to learn to look out and protect his weaker teammates and everything and we don't learn

585
01:19:44,040 --> 01:19:49,000
any additional stuff about uzuji i mean we learned some stuff about him in the entertainment district

586
01:19:49,000 --> 01:19:57,880
dark but it was like okay that is that is fine i guess i guess we're not gonna go much more into that

587
01:19:57,880 --> 01:20:05,320
so uh this was mainly about tangero advancing through that combat and uh learning some new things

588
01:20:05,320 --> 01:20:09,720
and some new ways how to fight you know in the beginning i thought the training out would be more

589
01:20:09,720 --> 01:20:16,120
about tangero having to overcome specific trial set for him by each of the harry uh hashrya but it

590
01:20:16,120 --> 01:20:24,200
it is it is definitely dead but in parts it's less about him gaining more physical strength except

591
01:20:24,200 --> 01:20:30,920
for the final final final training session with the stone hashrya but instead honing his leadership

592
01:20:30,920 --> 01:20:37,000
skills and empathy and like i said he breaks down the barriers between the hashrya and the cadets

593
01:20:37,000 --> 01:20:43,480
and naturally inspires people to do better uh there's like this airplane throwing contest with

594
01:20:43,480 --> 01:20:49,000
toki toh which is a good example of this where everyone is kind of afraid of toki toh because he's got

595
01:20:49,000 --> 01:20:55,640
this very cold demeanor you know very matter of fact he is like hey if you can't cut it just get out

596
01:20:55,640 --> 01:21:01,640
of fear right but then at the end of that particular part after they're done with the training they have

597
01:21:01,640 --> 01:21:07,800
like this this airplane throwing contest with all of the cadets and toki toh and everyone gets

598
01:21:07,800 --> 01:21:14,360
excited and invested and uh everyone's like oh okay uh toki uh miturus live toki toh whatever if you

599
01:21:14,360 --> 01:21:21,160
want to go by first or last night uh actually becomes a person the other cadets can feel like they

600
01:21:21,160 --> 01:21:26,840
can relate to and feel more like a human than before and that's because time zero made it happen

601
01:21:26,840 --> 01:21:32,840
he was the mediator between those two parties but that was cool yeah i thought that was a really

602
01:21:32,840 --> 01:21:41,960
huge thing yes absolutely and then we get kind of a nothing training section with connogee sadly

603
01:21:41,960 --> 01:21:45,400
i mean we learned something about her in the previous season so i guess there's that although that

604
01:21:45,400 --> 01:21:53,400
wasn't super substantial but she teaches splits the rough way but that's kind of it like i don't know

605
01:21:53,400 --> 01:21:58,360
how much time do we even spend with her it's like five minutes or something at max right

606
01:21:58,360 --> 01:22:04,920
for that son of the bary i was just in maybe half an episode but not even i don't think i mean

607
01:22:04,920 --> 01:22:14,680
that it feels the the next training arc in a way as that it makes harbor egress some anger towards

608
01:22:14,680 --> 01:22:20,040
tangero because he was really into connogee and the super jealous that she had so much fun training

609
01:22:20,040 --> 01:22:28,920
with tangero so there's that so he's especially hard hard on on tangero in the training section so

610
01:22:28,920 --> 01:22:35,800
i guess that that was an interesting part but we don't really learn much about him either like he has

611
01:22:35,800 --> 01:22:42,120
like this he has a crush on connogeo connogee obviously apparently and he has like this interesting

612
01:22:42,120 --> 01:22:48,680
rival chip with she knows she knows agawa but outside of them i don't feel we learn that much about

613
01:22:48,680 --> 01:22:57,720
eager or do we did i forget something not really but he's at least a bit more uh he's

614
01:22:57,720 --> 01:23:06,520
not quite the same level of jerk that she knows he's warming up a bit by the end and he's

615
01:23:07,560 --> 01:23:12,600
he's training something valuable like he's you have to be really careful and you know when you fight

616
01:23:12,600 --> 01:23:17,560
this way and this way just so you don't hurt your team is or whatever or i mean his methods are

617
01:23:17,560 --> 01:23:25,560
shitty because he just ties up some of the cadets and yeah but it makes the has has them being

618
01:23:25,560 --> 01:23:31,880
training body training dummies or whatever so but you know it's for good cause i guess but yeah

619
01:23:32,600 --> 01:23:40,280
then we also already get to the penultimate training session uh which is the she knows agawa stuff

620
01:23:40,280 --> 01:23:44,600
and that is also over pretty quickly i feel like the most interesting part of that was still the

621
01:23:44,600 --> 01:23:49,800
sections where gania was involved and i'm really glad to see that tangero and gania became such good

622
01:23:49,800 --> 01:23:55,000
friends like their interaction are really heartfelt and i didn't expect that when they first

623
01:23:55,000 --> 01:23:59,960
encountered each other in the training exam and whatever or whatever that in the in the exam on the

624
01:23:59,960 --> 01:24:05,400
mountain and then you know in the last season when they finally got to know each other

625
01:24:05,400 --> 01:24:12,440
properly in the fight against the two uh upper echelon demons but no they seem to get along really

626
01:24:12,440 --> 01:24:17,640
well like they have dinners together and stuff like that everyone is taking turns cooking and whatever

627
01:24:17,640 --> 01:24:24,120
and it's like every time they have a scene together it's a super cozy atmosphere it's like hey

628
01:24:24,120 --> 01:24:28,600
i didn't expect that to happen but they seem to get along really well i mean how can you not get

629
01:24:28,600 --> 01:24:35,000
along well with tangero but still it's like yeah just bud yeah gania didn't strike me he he

630
01:24:35,000 --> 01:24:41,000
seems so so i don't know he's he's in the beginning he seemed as brash and cold as his brother but no

631
01:24:41,000 --> 01:24:47,960
he's actually he's such a good guy and he's he's really nice and he he cares for tangero and everything

632
01:24:47,960 --> 01:24:54,600
and i really liked that i want him to be happy and finally his brother to to get along with him

633
01:24:54,600 --> 01:24:59,800
and not being such a dick anymore because gania is a cool guy so yeah but i yeah like i said

634
01:24:59,800 --> 01:25:06,840
we're really glad to see that and yeah we we're rushing through these training sessions the final one

635
01:25:06,840 --> 01:25:15,240
is the stone hashira and his backstory is harsh um yeah he he took care of some children as a priest

636
01:25:15,240 --> 01:25:20,600
and then one of the children got uh cornered by demon and led them to the orphanage and then the demon

637
01:25:20,600 --> 01:25:28,280
killed everyone and due to circumstances the stone hashira i even forgot his name gio man gio my god

638
01:25:28,280 --> 01:25:37,160
got blamed for it and um yeah that that was really you would imagine the experience he had that

639
01:25:37,160 --> 01:25:43,640
would he that he would be totally disillusioned and you know put off by people and less would just

640
01:25:43,640 --> 01:25:49,160
completely salute himself or whatever and maybe he did for a while but we actually kind of got him

641
01:25:49,160 --> 01:25:56,520
to become a hashira and make use of his office powers even though gio may so himself as a monster

642
01:25:56,520 --> 01:26:05,880
from that point as well and tangero's like selflessness courage and honesty makes this stone hashira

643
01:26:05,880 --> 01:26:12,920
trust him and he like oh no there are actually people still out there who are genuinely good people

644
01:26:13,480 --> 01:26:20,040
and to want to tray you and step you in the back so that that was like their little character arc it's

645
01:26:20,040 --> 01:26:25,240
something like have an episode or something where we learn all of that stuff i think or maybe

646
01:26:25,240 --> 01:26:31,800
yeah something or two thirds yeah about that much yeah but yeah i feel like we got to know the most

647
01:26:31,800 --> 01:26:40,200
about gio may compare to the rest of the hashira but you know yeah i feel like gio may and to meoka

648
01:26:40,760 --> 01:26:46,200
got the brunt of the interesting character development here in this season everyone else was more on the

649
01:26:46,200 --> 01:26:51,320
side lines a bit like pieces here and there but some of them and some of them already got some

650
01:26:51,320 --> 01:26:55,640
development in the previous season but some of them also just were there and hey they might still get

651
01:26:55,640 --> 01:27:04,120
some you know we still might get iguro and shinoza gawa in in the movies you know i can see shinoza gawa

652
01:27:04,120 --> 01:27:09,400
and ganya having a tag battle against one of the demons right and then there's some brotherly

653
01:27:09,400 --> 01:27:15,400
interaction and whatever and we get some actual development there that be also my hopes yeah i can

654
01:27:15,400 --> 01:27:21,400
see it happening so yeah we'd see then we're already at the end of this of the season and then

655
01:27:21,400 --> 01:27:32,040
just shit goes wild because suddenly in the final like minutes of the penultimate episode

656
01:27:33,080 --> 01:27:40,440
muzan appears like mist appears in the ubuyashi ki around the ubuyashi ki mentioned or estate

657
01:27:40,440 --> 01:27:51,000
and muzan just slowly works into ubuyashi ki's compound over the ed theme and that moment is

658
01:27:51,000 --> 01:27:58,040
just dripping with tension and finally oh this was the that's the moment the ed was leading up to

659
01:27:58,040 --> 01:28:06,520
that's what it was meant to be played along with that particular scene which i did we see in the ed

660
01:28:06,520 --> 01:28:12,440
before like where he that he was just you know scenes of muzan just walking i don't remember i don't

661
01:28:12,440 --> 01:28:17,640
believe so right but that's definitely what this is for and if you look at the lyrics of course

662
01:28:17,640 --> 01:28:23,800
yeah make sense so that was really cool like and that's how that ends and then you know you have a

663
01:28:23,800 --> 01:28:30,680
small interaction between ubuyashi ki and muzan and then you know we get to the final episode and

664
01:28:30,680 --> 01:28:37,480
we actually get this point as close to death he's bad ridden he's super sick and he's being taken care

665
01:28:37,480 --> 01:28:46,040
of by his wife but muzan apparently still wants to have a talk with him and he mocks ubuyashi ki

666
01:28:46,040 --> 01:28:51,240
you know for being bad ridden and being a disappointment and being disgusting and looking frail and

667
01:28:51,240 --> 01:28:58,520
everything you know because muzan is a very superficial person and he's just throwing that at him and being like

668
01:28:58,520 --> 01:29:10,760
i i got to be honest and i think uh ubuyashi says the same thing i'm amazed muzan let him talk as

669
01:29:10,760 --> 01:29:18,280
long as he did i mean they've never met each other but they had this long standing rival ship so i

670
01:29:18,280 --> 01:29:26,520
guess muzan was wallowing in the fact that ubuyashi ki looked so frail and beaten to him because it's like

671
01:29:26,520 --> 01:29:32,280
oh this guy is already dead i won right that's that's what and as like so i'm just gonna enjoy this a

672
01:29:32,280 --> 01:29:39,560
bit more i'm just gonna listen to his dribble and give him the time of the day because it amuses me

673
01:29:39,560 --> 01:29:44,200
and i've won already anyway because what can you do in this state there's nothing like the core is

674
01:29:44,200 --> 01:29:52,120
done they can't be without his master and look at this frail almost dead body and this is just this

675
01:29:52,120 --> 01:29:59,720
is just pastime entertainment for me and i'm unbeatable i think he's just being an arrogant bitch

676
01:29:59,720 --> 01:30:06,440
and which he has been since the beginning and he's he's just loving to shit out of this which of course

677
01:30:06,440 --> 01:30:13,640
is well kind of his demise but also not really but he's he's made some slight miscalculations

678
01:30:13,640 --> 01:30:20,120
but yeah so in the face of all of this ubuyashi ki remains steadfast despite his body barely being alive

679
01:30:20,120 --> 01:30:29,080
he's the head of the demons layer core and he has a mission and dedication so ubuyashi ki's

680
01:30:29,080 --> 01:30:35,480
bloodline was cursed as we learn or at least that's his point of view that's his his interpretation

681
01:30:35,480 --> 01:30:41,640
of the whole thing his bloodline was cursed because the produced demon as vile as muzan because muzan

682
01:30:41,640 --> 01:30:46,840
is from his bloodline very much in the past but still his bloodline so and after that all the children

683
01:30:46,840 --> 01:30:55,160
that were born into their family were frail and died very early so killing muzan is not as selfless

684
01:30:55,160 --> 01:31:02,520
of a motivation as i thought for ubuyashi ki like it was like if he was always a mystery to us but it felt

685
01:31:02,520 --> 01:31:07,000
like oh no he's definitely he might have his own motivation but he's probably doing this to

686
01:31:07,000 --> 01:31:12,040
for the betterment of the world to save the world or whatever but no this is much more a personal

687
01:31:12,040 --> 01:31:20,040
motivation thing going on here it is a vendetta it is absolutely a vendetta like a very heartfelt

688
01:31:20,040 --> 01:31:28,360
de rooted vendetta muzan also mocks that idea saying well i wasn't cursed at all despite killing all

689
01:31:28,360 --> 01:31:34,280
those people that's a matter of perspective body like you could consider it even also occurs but

690
01:31:34,280 --> 01:31:39,080
you just don't see it that way because you're a monster like you're an evil evil piece of shit

691
01:31:39,080 --> 01:31:44,920
they have like this nice dialogue and that was really that was the best part of the season even

692
01:31:44,920 --> 01:31:50,280
like what comes after this is also fantastic but like their interaction finally having these the

693
01:31:50,280 --> 01:31:56,520
the hats of these two different faction coming to encounter each other and having just a

694
01:31:56,520 --> 01:32:03,080
conversation about the different viewpoints on of this whole conflict which is i'd never expected

695
01:32:03,080 --> 01:32:09,080
this to happen and i loved it i was like oh yeah this is it it's gripping with tension the soundtrack is

696
01:32:09,080 --> 01:32:14,040
going ape shit at several points during this versus like the stripping tension and then a big thing

697
01:32:14,040 --> 01:32:20,680
happened and it just goes into full orchestral blowout like yuki kajura just mad woman there is

698
01:32:20,680 --> 01:32:31,720
something to be said for just talking yes if it's really well written dialogue and the presentation

699
01:32:31,720 --> 01:32:36,360
is not just damn talking to each other but doing some interesting stuff with the camera and the

700
01:32:36,360 --> 01:32:42,760
perspective and then you have to integrate music and everything and great facial anime it's just

701
01:32:42,760 --> 01:32:51,640
this shit scene is just pure tension and you just you just glue to the screen because it's just this

702
01:32:51,640 --> 01:32:57,960
this setup that you didn't expect but that is really really enticing and gripping and yeah i loved it

703
01:32:57,960 --> 01:33:05,480
and hey oh blyashiki basically saying that mousan's idea of eternity is fake and that the human will

704
01:33:05,480 --> 01:33:10,680
is actually what is eternal because mousan wants to be eternal he wants to be immortal and he says

705
01:33:10,680 --> 01:33:15,080
like i'm gonna be can't be heard anymore once i have nasa kus power blah blah blah blah blah blah

706
01:33:15,080 --> 01:33:20,440
right and no none of you can touch me wherever and then we blyashiki is like no this is this is the

707
01:33:20,440 --> 01:33:25,880
wrong approach this is this is fake eternity this is this is this is not what's real immortality is

708
01:33:25,880 --> 01:33:33,240
about real human real immortality is about the human will to inherit that to the next generation

709
01:33:33,240 --> 01:33:41,320
and that is what actually makes you and everyone who inherits your will eternal and you have this

710
01:33:41,320 --> 01:33:47,880
really strong image of blyashiki in front of all the grace of the demon slayer who have fallen

711
01:33:47,880 --> 01:33:53,960
dedication to their mission lighted with candles and everything i think and it's just looks so cool

712
01:33:55,000 --> 01:34:00,920
and he's basically saying blyat it doesn't matter if you kill me here tonight i'm almost already dead

713
01:34:00,920 --> 01:34:09,560
but they all my all the all my pupils all the people who are my extended family now they will

714
01:34:09,560 --> 01:34:15,640
never forgive you and all the people who came before me will never forgive you like that will is so

715
01:34:15,640 --> 01:34:22,760
strong it will continue on over there will be a recognize yes it has to be so strong over thousands of

716
01:34:22,760 --> 01:34:28,280
over a thousand years that it has been deeply ingrained in the legacy of my family and no matter

717
01:34:28,280 --> 01:34:34,280
what happens here tonight you will never be free since there will always be someone to hunt you down

718
01:34:34,280 --> 01:34:40,520
and that powerful will has given birth to a generation of slayers that will probably end you for

719
01:34:40,520 --> 01:34:46,600
good this time and while our will persists over generations for all eternity no matter who of us

720
01:34:46,600 --> 01:34:53,000
lifts or dies your empire will completely crumble once we dispose of you you will leave literally

721
01:34:53,000 --> 01:35:00,920
nothing behind and that's just good stuff man that is so tasty it's just so

722
01:35:00,920 --> 01:35:08,840
it feels like oh my god he is he's almost dead but he's just wiping the floor with mousse and just

723
01:35:08,840 --> 01:35:15,480
on a fucking like on a fucking contextual dialogue level it's just so good and then we get the

724
01:35:15,480 --> 01:35:22,840
literal big bang because apparently by the way i talked to her with my wife and kids and

725
01:35:22,840 --> 01:35:29,640
to flip you and flip them off on the way out the door yeah we made a decision so ubi actually is

726
01:35:29,640 --> 01:35:35,320
apparently such a yeah but he harbored such a huge amount of hatred from mousan that he was willing

727
01:35:35,320 --> 01:35:42,280
to blow up himself and his family in a giant explosion just to stall mousan's generation powers

728
01:35:42,280 --> 01:35:48,200
enough for tamayo and the hashura to take him out for good like you always seem so loving and

729
01:35:48,200 --> 01:35:54,840
considered but that man turned out to be an absolute rage filled mad lad i mean he directly he

730
01:35:54,840 --> 01:36:00,840
redirected it in the right ways yes sure and well we'll see how much good that actually did in

731
01:36:00,840 --> 01:36:06,280
the long run it got the demon slayers enough time to arrive on the scene and we have this we have

732
01:36:06,280 --> 01:36:12,120
probably the best looking CG explosion in anime john uh-huh i mean let's uva uva table going all out

733
01:36:12,120 --> 01:36:19,640
uh it's ridiculous like that scene looks so fucking good the impact of the slow motion when it

734
01:36:19,640 --> 01:36:26,200
starts off was like oh my god yes it looks really like when you finally realize what is actually

735
01:36:26,200 --> 01:36:32,040
happening and just you know slowly the fire is crawling up from the ground and everything

736
01:36:32,040 --> 01:36:38,120
i'm gonna be real with you first i was watching i was like oh god mousan just boom all up wait

737
01:36:38,120 --> 01:36:44,760
no he did oh very blasted out of the bill you as a fucking char corpse and he immediately rises

738
01:36:44,760 --> 01:36:49,080
oh fuck oh fuck this is not over this is not over he still has a trap like for me you're like he's

739
01:36:49,080 --> 01:36:57,160
really scared that's so amazing it's like you getting mousan so off his game by this insane trap that he

740
01:36:57,160 --> 01:37:05,720
liked and the soundtracks going fucking nuts in the scene especially now we got tamayo and gyome who

741
01:37:05,720 --> 01:37:14,440
entered the scene and further uh restrict and harm uh mousan like he regenerates but realizes it's

742
01:37:14,440 --> 01:37:22,040
not over yet and then the i think the order is uh tamayo traps him in like her some kind of foreign

743
01:37:22,040 --> 01:37:31,400
magic whatever right foreign demon skills and uh then gyome uh comes in and just cuts off his head

744
01:37:31,400 --> 01:37:36,680
right like with his giant morning star thing or whatever he asked people to go unnoticed because

745
01:37:36,680 --> 01:37:43,560
there's some talismans that uh make them make demons blind to them yes and it's so cool it's like oh

746
01:37:43,560 --> 01:37:49,320
no this was all planned by ubi yashiki in the background and you know we get we got teezus was like okay

747
01:37:49,320 --> 01:37:54,680
why before it was like there's something going on in the background here we can't be quite sure

748
01:37:54,680 --> 01:38:01,000
yet and we get a couple more scenes that uh elaborate on that in in this episode as well but

749
01:38:01,000 --> 01:38:07,640
intentionally uh ubi yashiki didn't fill in all of the hashran to his plans it's like you know the more

750
01:38:07,640 --> 01:38:11,720
people know about the the more this can go wrong and everything and that he would assume that they

751
01:38:11,720 --> 01:38:19,000
were spied on and stuff like that so a couple of well trusted people and one mousan could never expect

752
01:38:19,000 --> 01:38:23,160
because how would he expect tamayo to be there like in the stronghold of the demon slayer core

753
01:38:23,160 --> 01:38:29,400
so he got her and tamayo is a person who has a similar strong grudge against mousan because she

754
01:38:29,400 --> 01:38:35,800
holds him responsible for turning her into a demon and then killing a lot of people because she couldn't

755
01:38:35,800 --> 01:38:41,160
contain her bloodlust she blames herself as well but she also blames mousan he's like i'm just gonna

756
01:38:41,160 --> 01:38:46,520
take us both out because you made me into a monster so the best thing i can do is delete you from

757
01:38:46,520 --> 01:38:54,040
this world rancid man and like i said to soundtrack in that moment when she just jams her visit is

758
01:38:54,040 --> 01:38:59,880
so fucking good and then you know his head gets blasted off the problem is mousan won't die when he

759
01:38:59,880 --> 01:39:05,160
is beheaded because he's the strongest demon only the sun can kill him so the slayers have to fight him

760
01:39:05,160 --> 01:39:12,440
until sunrise and then it's revealed that mousan set up a trap of his own and teleports every single

761
01:39:12,440 --> 01:39:18,440
demon slayer to his infinite castle where he plans to eradicate all of them on his home turf

762
01:39:19,480 --> 01:39:27,080
and this is where the season ends god that the scene where everyone's just tumbling into the castle man

763
01:39:27,080 --> 01:39:33,480
they go so ham with those scenes inside the castle ever since they first started showing it

764
01:39:33,480 --> 01:39:39,800
yeah i wonder how crazy in uh you know three-dimensional perspective the battles are gonna get in

765
01:39:39,800 --> 01:39:44,360
the infinite castle i can see some really wild shit happening right with platforms appearing

766
01:39:45,080 --> 01:39:52,680
gravity shifting yes but it seems it seems like mousan can just control it at will yes i wonder if some

767
01:39:52,680 --> 01:39:59,400
of his loot tends to get as well so oh man what a cliffhanger this is a really really good setup and

768
01:39:59,400 --> 01:40:04,520
gets you really excited for the stuff that's coming up and you know you weren't hearing much

769
01:40:04,520 --> 01:40:09,080
boss about this season before the finale hit but when that finale hit everything was ablaze

770
01:40:09,080 --> 01:40:12,920
deemslayer trending whatever everywhere and it was like holy shit why did

771
01:40:12,920 --> 01:40:18,600
hard it looks so good you for table of the best and oh my god this is so crazy and oh we ashi ki what the

772
01:40:18,600 --> 01:40:27,800
fuck and it was really good so yeah that really really like i wouldn't even say it was a slow build

773
01:40:27,800 --> 01:40:35,400
because it didn't really build to this in like to this outcome in the season this most of the season

774
01:40:35,400 --> 01:40:41,400
felt more like a little more little personal stories tansiro going to a bunch of hashira and having

775
01:40:41,400 --> 01:40:44,440
some interaction with some of them and learning something about himself learning something about

776
01:40:44,440 --> 01:40:51,560
that and that being that and this just being more of a breather before finally shit hits the fan

777
01:40:51,560 --> 01:40:57,320
and that's what it was but it's like i didn't expect for shit to get so wild already at the end of

778
01:40:57,320 --> 01:41:06,120
this and holy shit did it ever so i'm really happy now of course i can't wait for these movies to

779
01:41:06,120 --> 01:41:12,040
hit and i hope they all of them are gonna get a western movie theater release then definitely

780
01:41:12,040 --> 01:41:17,720
i'm gonna watch them i'm gonna try to watch them in i'm x because this is not that then you know just

781
01:41:17,720 --> 01:41:23,320
to recut them for tv like the other movies yes i mean they will do that they cannot do that after

782
01:41:23,320 --> 01:41:30,680
doing it for the for the other movie they already released right so but seeing the shit that's gonna

783
01:41:31,480 --> 01:41:38,360
happen now on the big screen that's gonna be a treat man so i don't want to miss out on that i

784
01:41:38,360 --> 01:41:45,320
i already missed out on the movie in the movie theater shames yeah but i'll definitely make sure

785
01:41:45,320 --> 01:41:49,640
once the release of the movies has been confirmed or the release date has been confirmed i'm gonna make

786
01:41:49,640 --> 01:41:55,640
sure that i i seek out my movie theater the movie is close to me and see if they have a showing of this

787
01:41:55,640 --> 01:42:05,080
with in japanese with subtitles so man uh yeah this was a not necessarily a roller coaster of a season

788
01:42:05,080 --> 01:42:11,800
but definitely one of the strongest finishes of a season in a continued anime series ever

789
01:42:11,800 --> 01:42:21,000
absolutely god oh man the end of the second to last episode i was just like oh man and then

790
01:42:21,000 --> 01:42:27,880
that final episode hit and was like oh we're going we're going we're going dude like this this show i've

791
01:42:27,880 --> 01:42:32,840
been sort of up and down on but now at this point it's like okay all right all right we're there we're

792
01:42:32,840 --> 01:42:40,120
in yeah we're going there uh and yeah i am i am absolutely looking forward to this i mean and outside

793
01:42:40,120 --> 01:42:47,960
of the great battles that are probably gonna uh in the suit um we also have a still some interesting

794
01:42:47,960 --> 01:42:52,120
you know mysteries on our hand we don't know what's up with zinni too finally something interesting

795
01:42:52,120 --> 01:42:58,280
happening with the zinni too like we don't know what his particular mission is that apparently makes

796
01:42:58,280 --> 01:43:04,520
him very sad and whatever so that's gonna be interesting we still have a bunch of demons we don't

797
01:43:04,520 --> 01:43:11,320
know that much about and uh we're gonna have a rematch between the one from demons from from the

798
01:43:11,320 --> 01:43:18,360
demon train arc and tangerine I feel like that is something that needs to happen as tangerine now being

799
01:43:18,360 --> 01:43:24,120
the inheritor of the will of rengaku so that's gonna be cool and we're probably gonna have some other

800
01:43:24,120 --> 01:43:29,080
cool fights on our hand but you know we don't know what's up with naso ko and everything so we'll see

801
01:43:29,080 --> 01:43:39,000
i can see this being fantastic three parts of finisher to to all of this so really excited man i'm

802
01:43:39,000 --> 01:43:48,520
trying to discern some here i think the trilogy of movies is specifically the infinity castle arc

803
01:43:48,520 --> 01:43:54,840
yeah and then the sunrise count on arc might be separated out from that yeah that could be another

804
01:43:54,840 --> 01:44:00,440
movie then or it could be again just another season of the anime series because it's maybe not that

805
01:44:00,440 --> 01:44:08,200
visually like impressive as the infinite castle arc is uh right because they didn't do a movie

806
01:44:08,200 --> 01:44:13,080
version of the uh of the entertainment district arc they didn't do a movie of the sortment

807
01:44:13,080 --> 01:44:18,200
village arc they didn't do a movie of this season so there's gonna be a reason why they're gonna do a

808
01:44:18,200 --> 01:44:24,040
move uh three movies for the next arc so that's gonna be interesting and we'll see what comes after that

809
01:44:24,040 --> 01:44:29,000
that's gonna be just another season of the anime or when you're gonna get more movies but talk about

810
01:44:29,000 --> 01:44:35,560
doing a really good job at getting your hype for what's to come yeah like again some parts of this

811
01:44:35,560 --> 01:44:42,040
season i was like eh there could be more here right like i feel like if we had more episodes maybe we

812
01:44:42,040 --> 01:44:47,880
could get into more of what some of the other hushar are about that we didn't get that much screen time

813
01:44:47,880 --> 01:44:54,760
with it was really bumped out that we didn't get more uh kanroji because like your screen time or at

814
01:44:54,760 --> 01:45:00,680
least her her background screen time in the like like actually learning about her character background

815
01:45:00,680 --> 01:45:06,600
was really limited in the previous season it was i was like is that all there is to her okay that

816
01:45:06,600 --> 01:45:09,960
that's a shame i mean she's still a cool character but i hope there would be more

817
01:45:09,960 --> 01:45:14,920
and the season didn't deliver on that either so okay and then you know we don't learn much about

818
01:45:14,920 --> 01:45:21,720
your ego row we don't learn that much about or the perspective of shina zugawa outside of things uh

819
01:45:21,720 --> 01:45:26,920
so maybe some of that was to come in in the in the movies and in the next season whatever but

820
01:45:26,920 --> 01:45:35,080
that aside it was still an entertaining brisk season i wasn't bored and then with that killer finale

821
01:45:35,080 --> 01:45:41,480
you just got me so immensely hyped for the next arcs that i'm like oh god i can't wait

822
01:45:41,480 --> 01:45:48,760
and i hope the movies don't take too long to materialize themselves wherever so yeah looking forward

823
01:45:48,760 --> 01:45:54,360
to that john it seems like you feel the same yeah big shame we can people watch this season of demon slayer

824
01:45:54,360 --> 01:46:01,640
crunchy roll but i am certain depending on where you live in the world you can

825
01:46:01,640 --> 01:46:07,880
find a place to watch it because it's too popular to not be on everything yes absolutely i

826
01:46:07,880 --> 01:46:14,360
mean and there's a reason for it and uh looking forward what for whatever it's to come i'm pretty

827
01:46:14,360 --> 01:46:21,880
sure it's gonna be big it's gonna be a big spectacle of the finale and i can't wait to dive head

828
01:46:21,880 --> 01:46:25,320
first into it
