00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:32,080
Hello and welcome to an only episode of anime brain freeze. We are your deer hosts.

3
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:34,160
I am John.

4
00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:38,640
And I am C.C. and when there's just too much cool anime to watch, we've got you covered.

5
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:44,160
Buckle up, buckwild, buckarros. This episode is gonna go feral, because today we

6
00:00:44,160 --> 00:00:51,520
ponder the very important questions, "How what is deer?" How is deer? Most importantly,

7
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:58,960
why is deer? Gances to all these questions and more, will maybe probably not.

8
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:03,600
Most definitely not be delivered in our review of my dear friend Noh-Gotan.

9
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:08,960
For all that insanity, we have some premieres to talk about in this sneak peak.

10
00:01:08,960 --> 00:01:13,520
So grab your favorite cracker suited for consumption by your closest wild animal of choice.

11
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:17,280
Grab those multi-purpose antlers, squeaky clean so they are ready for combat,

12
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,760
and definitely don't post a pot. We'll be right back.

13
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:30,320
[Music]

14
00:01:30,320 --> 00:01:37,680
And here we are in the sneak peak, and as usual, we checked out a couple of premieres this time of

15
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:45,120
course. Fall season, anime fall season 2024, and we have categories for first-time listeners.

16
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:51,840
These are the notes, the "maybe's" and the "kippers", the notes to show that we checked out, but are not

17
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:59,520
gonna watch any longer. The "maybe's" shows that have picked our interest, but we are not entirely sure

18
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:04,640
about yet if we want to stick with them, and then of course the "kippers" shows that we are pretty sure

19
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:10,240
that we are gonna keep watching. So I'm gonna start today, because I think I have a couple more

20
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:16,000
"maybe's" at least then John, maybe, we'll see. First one, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe,

21
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:22,720
hey, hey, hey, we watch out, we're gonna start sounding like an oasis song over here.

22
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:27,440
Well, as long as we don't try to hate and beat each other up, we'll see.

23
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:36,400
Anyway, so the first "maybe's" bordering on a "nope" for me, and that is Trillion Game,

24
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:45,600
and that is about a computer nerd and an eloquent type/con man who embarked on a journey to become

25
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:54,720
the world's most selfish man and earn $1 trillion. Fun concept and theory, I guess, like we have

26
00:02:54,720 --> 00:03:02,320
this introvert attacker, Manaboo, and this extraverted charming guy, Haru, who happened to help each other

27
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:09,360
out of a pinch one night and become friends, and Manaboo has a trouble landing a job in IT due to

28
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:15,920
his bad interview skills, and Haru would rather own the company than work in for it. Both of those are

29
00:03:15,920 --> 00:03:26,000
moods. Absolutely. So, and then there's also the female heir to the Dragon Bank IT company who

30
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:32,080
recognizes their potential and is thrown into the mix of this, and the journey starts from there.

31
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:38,480
So far so good, problem is I'm not super comfortable with shows that relish in the glorification of

32
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:43,920
peak capitalism, and if a show starts with rattling of Google Amazon and Microsoft as the objects of

33
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:51,360
desire, I will immediately hear these loud sirens blaring in my mind, "wee wee warning dipshits

34
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:57,600
approaching, warning dipshits approaching." And Haru is a peak dipshit. The show paints him as a

35
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:04,720
compulsive liar, but also a softie with a big heart at the same time, and that paired with the

36
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:10,800
"if I had a trillion dollars, my life would be perfect" mission statement of the show. Has me a bit worried.

37
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:18,960
No, this sounds fine, don't worry about it. I mean, it could be fine. I think we had a similar show,

38
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:25,120
a couple of seasons ago that had this asshole millionaire Bruce Wayne type as one of the two main

39
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:32,640
characters, and that on the surface was also about money is the best, yo, didn't stick long enough

40
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:37,920
with that show to find out if it subverted that initial statement either, and I get the feeling

41
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:46,480
Trillian game will be wishy-washy on that too. Someone who thinks trillionaires, trillionaires, trillionaires,

42
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:51,840
or even billionaires shouldn't be allowed to exist. I can't root for these guys, even if they are

43
00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:58,720
kind of sympathetic to an extent, we'll see. Like I said, you know what I say? Eat the rich.

44
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:04,480
Sure, yeah. I mean, like I said, I was kind of interesting, but unless the show gives me a clear

45
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:10,480
indicator that it will turn into a story that is about fucking overreach people in the next few

46
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:16,640
episodes, I doubt I'll stick with it. Plus, the character designs are but fogly, which doesn't help.

47
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:25,920
Jesus, I haven't seen a such an ugly show at such a long time. So maybe not since initial D,

48
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:34,080
but yeah, that is my first maybe, but probably a nope. So yeah, John, what is your first maybe?

49
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:44,720
My first maybe also dives into the world of business, but it's a different kind of business.

50
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:51,440
It's the business of magical girls. Ah, yes. Most of that shows. Yes. And that shows

51
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:58,000
magic, Lumiere, magical girls incorporated. So basically it's all about this girl,

52
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:05,280
Kana Sakuragi, who is fresh out of college and she can't find a job and God, there's that's another

53
00:06:05,280 --> 00:06:14,880
mood man, but this is a world where magical girls are a service that you can hire to take care of

54
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:20,400
things for you. And when there's and it turns out that around the city, there are these

55
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:26,960
creatures called Kaey that need to be taken care of and they come in different shapes and sizes

56
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:36,880
and strings and grades and whatnot and that sort of thing. And when Kana is in the middle of a job

57
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:42,160
interview at this high profile finance company and they have to call in, you know, they need to call

58
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:49,840
in the quickest, the cheapest magical girl they can. So they call in this. So they have to call in,

59
00:06:49,840 --> 00:06:57,200
you know, the services of this company, Magi Lumiere. And this girl, he told me comes out to help

60
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:07,360
them and she is like very gung ho, very, you know, all about her job, but she has the, so the kind of

61
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:14,240
magical girl, this is sort of like, if you're familiar, I think I've spoken about it before,

62
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:20,960
how like Nanoha, and the magical girl Nanoha does its portrayal of magic, it's sort of like a bit more

63
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:28,560
techy. Yeah, I remember that. And she's trying to fight off this monster, but she has the wrong

64
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:38,880
ammunition loaded into her device, which is of course called a broom. And Kana sort of recognizes

65
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:45,360
that because she's like, wait a minute, I don't exactly know how this device works that she's using,

66
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:51,680
but I've seen this before. So maybe I can help out. So she helps, he told me out. And you know, she

67
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:59,920
gets dragged into this as a civilian. And the people who are interviewing here are like, you know,

68
00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:07,200
you don't have to do this, right? And she biggest best align in the first episode. She turns around

69
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:11,280
and says very matter of fact, you know, I didn't want this job anyway. And it's like, oh,

70
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:22,800
oh, that's so good. Oh, man. So, it's really good. So basically on the other side, um,

71
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:28,640
he told me and the other people that mentioned, we're like, well, we're running low on help. We need to

72
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:35,680
hire more people. And at after seeing how helpful he told me, or after he told me she's how helpful Kana

73
00:08:35,680 --> 00:08:42,160
is in this situation. She drags her back and says, we got our new recruit. Nice. I guess. And she gets

74
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:50,720
a job there basically, interning as a magical girl and the, and oh, boy, the crew there is a bunch of

75
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:57,520
dummies too. Cause one of them is like, you know, he's the finance guy and he's trying to justify the use

76
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:01,440
of, you know, all of their stuff is like, well, you have an old model broom, but you're going to have to

77
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:09,360
hold on to it. There's this green hair, Kate, who's the techie guy and he's out there. And then there's

78
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:16,640
the boss who is this older guy who's cosplaying as a magical girl in a pink frilly dress. And it's like,

79
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:23,280
you know, okay, all right, you're you're living your best life. You're getting into character. And

80
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:29,040
this, this show is just really silly. And it seems like, you know, it doesn't take itself very

81
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:37,920
seriously, but I like, I like the idea behind it. So I'm definitely going to stick around and see how it

82
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:44,720
goes. One of the better animated looking JC staff shows too. So fingers crossed it'll say that way.

83
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:49,040
So why is that a maybe another keeper? Because it sounds like you're pretty enthusiastic about it.

84
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:54,720
I'm not sure. I just, I want to see where it goes. Okay. Cause sometimes some shows are like, yeah,

85
00:09:54,720 --> 00:10:00,560
sure. Okay, but someone's like, okay, in the first episode, but you're not entirely sure if it will

86
00:10:00,560 --> 00:10:06,400
like keep that going. Right. Yeah. Okay. Sounds promising. Oh, yeah. I mean, it sounds good on

87
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:13,040
its face. I'm willing to see where it goes. Yes. So what do you got next? I don't have a segue from

88
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:20,160
face to arms, but there it is. So that's my next baby. And I think that's one you checked out as well

89
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:30,480
because you link me the OP mechanical arms. Yeah, mecca, Uday. Yeah. So it's about a boy named Tikaru who

90
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:38,160
has trouble being proactive and lacking courage to take first steps in more ways than one. And he

91
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:45,920
stumbles over a weapon called mecca, that attaches itself to is to the hood of his hoodie for some reason.

92
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:53,360
We had a choice for like a tech alien thingy to attach itself, but okay. And now he's hunted by

93
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:59,840
two organizations who wanted for themselves. One may be good, one probably bad. Can't be quite sure.

94
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:04,720
Maybe that gets also turned on its head later on. It's pretty standard action stuff with somewhat

95
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:11,600
entrum-pomorphic body creatures. So something like Digimon only with bionic arms. But

96
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:19,440
all right, chill out Spencer. But animation is good so far. And Alma, the mechanical arm that

97
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:26,880
attaches itself to he carusuri is pretty adorable. Like he's great. He's very, he's very cute. Like he's

98
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:34,640
the very, very sad little arm creature that just wants to be, you know, to help out and to be,

99
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:43,200
to have a friend and everything. And it's very, like, very cute. So, yeah, I, it's really, really fun

100
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:49,280
so far. The action is pretty good. Salono, here, Salono is doing the soundtrick and delivering

101
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:55,120
stellar beats as usual. So that it's got that going for it. And I like that in the first episode,

102
00:11:55,120 --> 00:12:02,160
we have this girl from the other organization that is trying to just speak with Hikaru and,

103
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:08,320
and Alma, but doesn't work out. And she has like these two mecha, mecha, Ude that attached to her legs

104
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:15,120
that seems to have independent thoughts and always argue with each other. And I like that a lot as well.

105
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:20,080
So Arki is getting increasingly frustrated as time goes on.

106
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:24,720
Yes, especially in the second episode. Oh boy. I haven't seen that yet, but understandable.

107
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:29,520
It's just, and, you know, like I said, we have these two industries. We have Kaganry industries

108
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:35,680
who seem to consider mecha, Ude as just a tool and something to be used. And then we have the other

109
00:12:35,680 --> 00:12:42,080
arms organization who maybe wants to liberate them, but also the chief of them might be a bit shady.

110
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:49,760
We'll see. This seems like very low-key standard action stuff, like I said. And probably, I doubt it

111
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:55,760
will have many surprises, but so far, it seems a very fun stuff. I found this show interesting,

112
00:12:55,760 --> 00:13:02,160
because I was doing some reading about it. It started off as a Kickstarter project.

113
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,840
And all right. I think I remember that.

114
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:12,640
Yeah, and the pilot was crowdfunded and released in 2018, I think.

115
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:20,320
And there was like, you can go on YouTube and watch the pilot for free. And I guess there was actually

116
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:26,800
a dub of it, released the next day. That I haven't checked out, but then, you know, companies came on

117
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:33,360
to the studio, try it, and we're like, here's some money. Make your dream real, which that's cool.

118
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:39,600
It's cool to see it came from like basically nothing. And now it's got it's a full production going on.

119
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:47,120
So I'm always there for the underdog story when it comes to either the show itself or the production.

120
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:52,800
So I think this is really neat to read about its history and see where it's coming from. And hopefully

121
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:59,760
where it's going. I mean, at least in terms of concepts and everything, it's very merchandisable,

122
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:04,000
and marketable to kids and everything. So I could assume that.

123
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:08,240
That's a successful. Maybe that's what pony can you saw in it, but

124
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:12,880
yeah, I don't want to be super cynical right now. No, no, no, I don't mean in terms of what the

125
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:19,280
original intent intent of the creators is, but in terms of it having some staying power and, you know,

126
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:26,160
being successful enough in terms of how much money it makes that it maybe will be one of the bigger hits

127
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:32,640
and Reese in next time. Who knows? Maybe. I mean, I hope so. I think this has a lot of promise to it.

128
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:38,000
Yeah, I feel like this has action figure promise, and you could even do the R at the mecha-uday thing

129
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:47,760
as a separate thing, right? That you just have have kids play with, and you know, put in on their clothes

130
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:55,440
or whatever with some kind of some kind of apparatus or whatever. So yeah, I can just see some

131
00:14:55,440 --> 00:15:00,960
merchandising opportunity there that might keep that thing going for a while. Let's see, interesting.

132
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:05,920
Also could be a potential game. I see some beat 'em up potential there as well.

133
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:17,760
We'll see, we'll see, interesting. John, what is your next maybe? My next maybe is a return for a show

134
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:22,800
that disappeared that aired a very long time ago, and now it's apparently back.

135
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:29,840
What could I be talking about? It's the remake Iran might have. Yes, we talked about this in a bit

136
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:41,040
in our last episode. Yes, so it's a remake of a show from 1989. And you know, it's one of those that I

137
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:48,160
always sort of knew existed, but never went back to watch. I wonder just how watchable

138
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:58,480
your 80s version is. But you know, I like I said, I'm willing to check this out, mostly from a

139
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:06,800
from an academic standpoint as academic as you can watch anime the way I did Udu say Yatsuda.

140
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:10,880
Just to see what's going on with it, I'm and I will say you know from the first couple episodes

141
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:18,880
it's really pretty. You know, it's got probably the last living remnants of a

142
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:29,920
Mapa who aren't changed to their desks and starving working on it. But you know, the first couple

143
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:38,560
episodes look really great and it definitely it definitely has the same style that Udu say Yatsuda

144
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:49,600
had because you know, that makes sense. But the action sequences are really well executed and you know,

145
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:56,160
it's just all around pretty goofy as you would expect, but it doesn't from the first couple episodes,

146
00:16:56,160 --> 00:17:05,840
it doesn't seem like they're doing the whole genders, which you think like super gross or anything.

147
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:10,720
I mean, also also didn't really do that aside from like I said, there was a lot of nudity.

148
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:17,520
Yeah, that does seem to be in there quite yet either, but you know, there's plenty of time for

149
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:22,880
that to change. No, I don't think they will put that in there. I don't I don't think this is about

150
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:27,680
easing viewers into the potential of nudity in this. It's just going to take it out because

151
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:35,440
I don't even remember which was what was the last normal airtime anime TV show that had a lot of

152
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:43,360
nudity in it. So these times are passing gone, I think in you know, movies and stuff like that and

153
00:17:43,360 --> 00:17:48,320
maybe Netflix shows you might still see it, but it's stuff that it probably as in Japanese TV. I

154
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:53,360
don't know if that happens anymore, at least when it runs in a specific time spot,

155
00:17:53,360 --> 00:17:59,680
that's a lot. And you know, the old show had that and I saw some screenshots there,

156
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:05,760
even took out a run mass ass. So at least in a bad, some people have probably complained about that,

157
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:12,960
I don't give a shit. It's just the new run was woke. Hey spoilers, run was always

158
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:19,120
was kind of woke. Yeah, technically water transfers. Yeah, I was going to say from the themes as

159
00:18:19,120 --> 00:18:28,080
seems pretty self evident, but what do I know? Yeah. I will say it may have crossed over to the dark

160
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:34,080
side a little bit because I'm watching actually watching it on Netflix. However, I ain't spending my

161
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:40,640
own money because my sister's so very generously gifted my parents a Netflix subscription. I'm just

162
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:48,000
coast enough of that. That's a way to do it. This is how we all were doing it until Netflix did some

163
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:54,480
you know, IP location nonsense and now you can't share it with your buddies anymore who live

164
00:18:54,480 --> 00:19:03,840
a couple of streets away or whole city away. But more to the point, this version of run mass seems

165
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:12,720
pretty cool so far. I'm going to see what they do and how it go. Yeah, seems fun. I said why I wasn't

166
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:18,160
going to watch the last episode and I'm going to stick to that, but I enjoyed the also when

167
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:24,640
I watched it back in the day, at least for a while until the old Djoke's got a bit to say me for me.

168
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:31,600
But there's a lot of there was a lot of fun stuff in there, very dynamic. So I assume the new one

169
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:38,400
will be as well and it looks very colorful and stylish. So yeah, one time. Yeah, enjoy. Yeah, I don't

170
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:44,240
know if they did this with your ritual, but they are leaning into, yeah, can you tell this was a manga

171
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:50,400
because they have a whole bunch of like the big onomatopoeia on the screen for different sound effects

172
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:56,240
and sometimes they have like the crosshatch-dittered coloring on some scenes. So they're leaning into,

173
00:19:56,240 --> 00:20:01,360
yeah, hey, this was a comic, did you know? Did you know that? That seems like a wise choice.

174
00:20:01,360 --> 00:20:06,240
Especially since there was already a very prominent anime adaption that now it means to, you know,

175
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:12,400
not distance itself from that, but separate itself in a way where it can stand out and

176
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:19,280
one thing to do that of course is to be like, hey, this is more accurate to what the actual manga was

177
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:25,040
and the way we show that visually is in the way you just described. So yeah, make some sense.

178
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:31,200
It's really neat. Like they kind of like do it in brief flashes here and there so it works really well,

179
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:38,560
I think. Cool. Yeah, it. So what do you get? One that you probably also checked out,

180
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:48,400
Dandadan. I didn't actually. You did not. Oh, interesting. I thought. Yeah, I talked about the OP, I think.

181
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:54,960
I mean, one of our friends linked in Discord and I watched it. I was like, this is neat, but you

182
00:20:54,960 --> 00:21:00,800
know, it's I read about the premise. I was like, I don't know if this is for me. And with

183
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:06,640
spoiler alert, next time it's my turn, I'm going to wrap up fire a whole bunch of stuff that

184
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:17,200
are returning shows. So, you know, I, I have enough to watch. Okay. Well, there you go. But yeah,

185
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:23,840
this is the big profile shown in Jam Show that is coming on the season. I would say a side from

186
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:32,720
the thing that we're going to talk about at the end of the keepers, but, you know, that was that

187
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:38,320
thing was on my husband on my radar for a while because it was was brought up by Jeff through multiple

188
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:45,360
times in some of his videos. And one of the more unusual shown in action shows out there. So it's like,

189
00:21:45,360 --> 00:21:51,360
okay, interested. And then the adaption was picked up by science, science, Saru. So Masaki and Masaki,

190
00:21:51,360 --> 00:21:59,360
you also pseudo. And they always deliver interesting stuff for people who need to refresh her. We

191
00:21:59,360 --> 00:22:04,880
reviewed of them. I keep it right off the Azo can and the man cry, baby, but they also recently did

192
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:12,800
the newest Scott program cartoon. And all their design work is pretty cartoony and out there. And

193
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:18,000
I was like, okay, so this is at least visually going to be pretty distinctive and interesting.

194
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:26,880
And I assume wacky. So I'm looking forward to this. And yeah, that that's what I'm, that's what I got.

195
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:34,720
This is a super wacky show like the OP first off right off the bed promised us creepy nuts.

196
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:43,120
So that happens. And then we have are immediately introduced or to make characters the first is I say

197
00:22:43,120 --> 00:22:48,000
as she gets dumped by her boyfriend because she's broke and doesn't want to put out. Well,

198
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:52,960
he has to deal with that, but apparently is a big piece of shit. And that's why he dumps her and

199
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:58,640
she is a bit, she has a bit of an aggressive confronting nature her reaction to this is she immediately

200
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:05,760
wants to kick him in the head as workout because he can block it apparently, but she at least tries.

201
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:10,800
And when someone her and something annoy Saru, she's like, I'm gonna go there and I'm gonna address

202
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:17,520
that, which is I think a good characteristic. But that sometimes gets her also into hot water.

203
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:22,640
And someone else in her school is experiencing both sides of that part of her personality is

204
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:28,080
a lone otaku sitting in the classroom making it being made fun of by his classmates and just

205
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:35,520
I said, it's just, ah, fuck, I got dumped and walks past the class sees that he is that they are throwing

206
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:42,800
paper balls at him and she's just annoyed walks into the classroom sits next to the just sits next to

207
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:49,280
him and gives the bullies just this, this glare like this. You want to keep going guys? You really want to

208
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:55,760
keep going with this shit and immediately stop. It's such a fucking like perfect introduction scene and

209
00:23:55,760 --> 00:24:02,000
immediately makes you sympathetic to this characters like, oh my god, she's bad as I love her. And

210
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:12,080
the way she stands up to those bullies and it's great. So, and of course, it seems like the lone otaku,

211
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:20,000
that she protects gets the partially wrong impression from that because she thinks she did that because

212
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:26,880
she's just like him and she's interested in the occult like she is. And she just goes after her and

213
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:32,720
just drones her. It's like, hey, look at this shit in my magazine about the, you have all abdactions

214
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:37,440
and everything and she's just like, ah, unlike him. She doesn't believe in aliens and unlike her,

215
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:43,840
he doesn't believe in ghosts. So, when they dare each other to prove the existence of either,

216
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:48,000
the, of course, gets almost abducted by aliens and he gets possessed by ghosts.

217
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:56,400
As these things go. So, it seems normal. Yes. So, it's a super energetic, great looking show.

218
00:24:56,400 --> 00:25:01,920
Science are as usual on point when it comes to hyper expressive faces and body animation.

219
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:08,240
What sound this might be too cartoony when it comes to anime, but I love it. I think it looks fucking great.

220
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:13,920
The story is wacky as all hell and has some definite mob cycle 100 vibes in the best way possible,

221
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,320
though instead of broccoli, we have a focus on bananas.

222
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:26,400
The, like I said, the two mains are instantly likeable, especially in their interactions with each

223
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:32,720
other and dare I say it, John. It's might turn out to be a romcom that is actually going somewhere.

224
00:25:33,360 --> 00:25:37,760
What? Proposterous, I know, but to set up and considering how the first episode ends,

225
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:43,440
which I don't want to give away, makes it seem more likely than an other show-to-job action shows.

226
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:50,000
So, yes, that is very promising. Pretty much the only thing I didn't like in the first episode

227
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,920
is the alien abduction stuff being too rapy for my taste.

228
00:25:53,920 --> 00:26:01,360
Like the aliens have like these Robo Scorpion dicks. Those were absolutely not necessary.

229
00:26:01,360 --> 00:26:06,080
I don't know why anime still has such a problem with grasping that sexual assault has a very low

230
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:10,480
success rate when it comes to being a hilarious punch line, especially the space.

231
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:19,760
Maybe Sean Jump didn't get the mevader's inoffensive fan service, but this was the offensive guy.

232
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:24,480
What? You get a panda at all kinds, I guess. Do you? But thankfully,

233
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:33,600
I mean, no, but thankfully that is turned around very quickly. And when I aired my grievances on Twitter

234
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:41,520
of Randovour's confirmed for me that this is just in the first chapter. And probably is so also

235
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:47,040
just in the first episode of this. So, let's hope he's right. And this is the only time they

236
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:52,000
go there in the show because if all goes in aliens in this show turn out to be horny sex offenders,

237
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:59,200
I'm out. Aside from that definite must watch of the season though, but it's still a maybe because

238
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:07,120
I wasn't sure at the point of this when I wrote this down. I when I put this in my list. If you know,

239
00:27:07,120 --> 00:27:13,040
this what the thing that annoyed me in the first episode was a one time bit, which apparently it is.

240
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:19,680
Everything else is very promising. I love the two main characters and judging from what I heard

241
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:25,280
about it, it's going very interesting places and especially relationship-wise, it's it's not afraid

242
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:32,480
to commit, which I always really, really appreciate. So, very much looking forward to more of this.

243
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:38,960
And I hope it's going to turn into a keeper, but I'm pretty sure. Cool, cool. Yeah, John, what's next on your

244
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:47,600
list? So, like I said, for my keepers, four out of five of them are returning shows. So, I guess I

245
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:53,360
can sort of kind of group them together a little bit in a way away because the first grouping, can you

246
00:27:53,360 --> 00:27:59,440
guess what the first grouping is? Isn't that a new love life show this season? Yes. There we go.

247
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:06,480
So, it's going to be eyeballs. Yes, correct. The first is love life superstar season three.

248
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:14,480
So, at the end of the previous season, Kanon was supposed to make a trip to Austria and do some

249
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:20,480
staying in music there, but shenanigans happen as you still staying in Japan to help train with her,

250
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:26,800
one of their girls rivals, Marguerite. So, that's happening.

251
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:34,480
Judging, it's from the newest Austria election that wasn't a bad thing to happen to her not going to Austria.

252
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:40,480
Sorry, that's besides a point. Yeah, I don't know anything about that. Honestly, but oh no.

253
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:51,840
Quikiner's Nazis. Anyway, keep going. But yes, so now it's become this thing where we're, oh Kanon,

254
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:56,320
you weren't going to Austria. So, you're going to be training with the rest of us, right? And she's

255
00:28:56,320 --> 00:29:05,040
like, well, I would, but I have other plans in mind and the plan is to get this girl Marguerite to

256
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:12,480
not be the hard headed dummy that she is and maybe try and enjoy music as much as the rest of

257
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:18,320
her because she's kind of like very selfish about it. And you know, it's love life. It's high school

258
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:26,160
musical, the anime. And I'll always watch it because on the same note is the second season of the

259
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:33,360
idol master, shiny colors. And I think I see what they're doing with this show in that, you know,

260
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:40,560
each season is going to be or maybe not each entire season, but parts of each season,

261
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:45,920
because I think they have there's already a third season on the plate as well, is going to be

262
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:55,280
characters that they introduced post the games launch. So the, uh, start of this one deals with

263
00:29:55,280 --> 00:30:04,560
these girls from the new unit straight light, uh, May, Asahi and Fuyuko, uh, can't believe I got them all right,

264
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:11,280
wow. There's a billion girls in love life in the idol master. And at this point, trying to keep

265
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:18,400
them all straight is kind of fools errand. But I will say that polygon pictures is carrying

266
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:25,600
forward the same momentum that they did with the first season with, yeah, I know we had had our

267
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:32,800
misgivings about them, but the animation work they're doing is pretty good, maybe not on the

268
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:40,480
theme level as say orange, but the character animations feel mostly like pretty natural. And I'm,

269
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:45,760
and I applaud them for, you know, doing some really good work on it so far. So, you know, I'm here to

270
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:51,200
continue watching it to see, you know, how they introduce these girls and to see how the animation

271
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:57,280
continues to develop. Yeah, I mean, hey, the stuff I watch from polygon pictures is a bit older.

272
00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:04,960
So maybe they improved, maybe they learned, I don't want to doubt it. And I'm always glad if, you know,

273
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:11,840
we have more, we have better CG anime students than just the one. Yeah, it's of course,

274
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:18,400
is appreciated, but, yeah, I'd say maybe, you know, the band I name co money helped a little, but I look

275
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:26,800
at the adaptation of Million I when I say, so between, you know, repeating what I had previously said

276
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:31,280
between this and Million Live, this is definitely the technically superior of the two.

277
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:40,640
What do you got? My first keeper is Uzumaki, the anime, nothing to do with Naruto,

278
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:49,760
the anime it, just, Rosenberg. Yeah, close enough. The horror version anime, it's the anime

279
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:56,160
adaptation of one of horror manga author Junji Echo's most famous works that it has already been

280
00:31:56,160 --> 00:32:02,880
adapted as a live action movie before, if I remember correctly, but not as an anime yet.

281
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:10,240
And it seems to be an international production cooperation with Adultswim, as far as I could

282
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:16,000
garner from the credits. And it's about this small town that becomes infected by the concept of

283
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:21,440
spirals, like the APN nature and on people and people become obsessed with them, get haunted by them

284
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:26,640
and consume by them. But judging from the first episode, this is about uncovering the mystery behind

285
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:30,720
this from the perspective of two young people directly affected by it through their friends and family.

286
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:38,000
The only other Junji Echo adaptation I saw in recent time was the Junji Echo collection, and that was

287
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:44,720
really bad in terms of quality and not being able to capture the enveloping area, the atmosphere

288
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:53,920
of the manga original. This one, Uzumaki is much more up to par. The production values are spectacular.

289
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:59,840
First off, it's entirely in black and white, which is very rare and immediately gives it a distinct

290
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:05,040
look that is super close to the manga. A lot of the animation seems to be heavily rotoscope,

291
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:11,120
which makes it stand out even more. That's a really cool look. And this also helps immensely with

292
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:18,560
capturing the unique atmosphere of Eto's manga better. However, I feel the pacing is too quick.

293
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:23,920
It's only four episodes, and in the first episode, it already feels like it's rushing from

294
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:29,360
iconic panel to iconic panel from the manga. So it comes across as more of a greatest hits version,

295
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:35,200
instead of taking its time to effectively establish its own atmosphere. Maybe that will change

296
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:41,760
in the other three episodes, but right now I definitely feel like more relaxed pacing would

297
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:48,240
make it more suitable for the TV show format. But also, because it's so short, it's a surefire

298
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:53,040
keeper because half of the show is already out at this point. I think the time of this recording

299
00:33:53,040 --> 00:34:01,040
even episode three. So this is easy to finish up, and I will do so. But yeah, I hope they

300
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:11,840
decrease the intensity and the speed of the pacing a bit because some of that stuff needs to simmer,

301
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:17,680
and right now it doesn't get the chance to, which is a bit of a shame. And I feel like these kind of

302
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:24,800
stories need some time, some time to linger on certain moments and so on, which doesn't seem to be

303
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:29,280
intent on doing, but yeah, it's interesting. It's very interesting. And like I said, the style is just so

304
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:35,600
cool. I could totally see a bit of a certain adaption in that style and who would fucking rock. So I hope

305
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:45,200
someone takes notice. We'll see. So I haven't watched it, but I heard, and I hope this isn't actually

306
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:52,160
the case, but after the first episode, there's apparently a severe drop off in quality.

307
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:59,920
Okay. Well, maybe this will one of my hate watch keepers then after a while, but I can only judge

308
00:34:59,920 --> 00:35:04,720
from the first episode because it's all I've seen in the first episode, this spectacular aside from

309
00:35:04,720 --> 00:35:10,640
the slightly too quick pacing. But yeah, if the second episode is shitty, maybe it will catch

310
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:16,400
itself in the third episode, but also it doesn't have that much, you know, episodes to actually impress

311
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:24,160
anymore. And we'll see what happens. But yeah, for now, it's the keeper and it's only, it only has

312
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:28,560
four episodes. It's probably gonna stay that doesn't mean that the review is gonna be positive,

313
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:32,800
but we'll see what happens. John, what are your next keepers?

314
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:44,560
I guess these two shows belong together because one is a death game and one started as a death game.

315
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:57,680
Tatsu Katsu is continuing. It's not really spoilers to say at this point that the characters encountered

316
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:07,520
and fought the emperor that was taking control of the big nightly surveys that were killing off

317
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:15,360
large parts of people in Japan. And now the emperor is dead question mark maybe?

318
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:27,520
And the back half seems to focus on trying to keep up the idea that the emperor

319
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:34,480
is alive, but you know, not really keeping the death game going until this one girl who calls

320
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:41,520
herself the queen starts showing up and saying, hey, what if we sort of just kept this going? And then

321
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:50,080
there's other little wrinkles in there. And I'm not quite sure this back half is as strong as the

322
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:57,920
first half was, but I guess I'll keep going and see where what do with it. Are you sure that's

323
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:02,240
continuing? Because I don't see it in the end of chart fall left over. So I was surprised.

324
00:37:02,240 --> 00:37:08,320
It's weird because it's not showing on like an it chart. It wasn't showing on live chart either

325
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:15,040
at first, but it is continuing. Okay, interesting. Yeah, because I thought it was one season's

326
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:18,880
well and then I looked at live chart and I was like, oh no, I'm stupid. It says it's two seasons

327
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:27,360
died completely glossed over it when it started, but it is it took a couple of weeks off

328
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:34,640
in the summer because of ye old Olympic games, but that's why it's kind of it's episode count's

329
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:39,440
kind of a couple behind other shows, but it is still going. Interesting. Okay.

330
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:46,160
The other one that I guess are belongs in this grouping is SAO alternative gun gale online too.

331
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:52,880
Yeah, and I said came back and I say it kind of belongs because of where SAO's roots are.

332
00:37:52,880 --> 00:38:05,200
This starts off with Karen and her buddies getting into squad GM3 and we're just going a

333
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:11,520
full fortnight where the island that they're fighting on in this in gun gale is slowly getting

334
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:17,120
taken by like the ocean and there's a big convergence point on the center and as to deal with the

335
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:23,520
strategy of eliminating all the other players and I don't know if squad GM3 is going to be the

336
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:30,480
entire story of this season, but they kind of come out swinging with it. So it's obviously the

337
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:40,480
big central focus at current. And you know, I like these characters. I like the setup for it just because

338
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:48,160
I get to move away from everyone else in this universe for a little while.

339
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:56,400
And how fortunate that it would coincide with the release of the new video games,

340
00:38:56,400 --> 00:39:02,160
sort our online fracture daydream available now. Absolut surprise.

341
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:07,600
I may have played it a little bit and it's actually kind of fun. Okay. Well, that's that.

342
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:13,440
Which is it's neat because it mixes the gameplay elements between like, you know, your standard,

343
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:19,280
you know, sword and board characters that we've seen from the older shoes, but you also have

344
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:23,840
characters that are like Len and Foucazero who come out with their guns and you play the game

345
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:32,160
like a third person shooter. So you could play the game how you want, which is me. But yeah,

346
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:38,240
this is not sponsored. Please sponsor. Spandai Namco. Don't that we have to adhere to certain

347
00:39:38,240 --> 00:39:47,600
rules, probably. Oh, God, you're right. But no, GTO too, you know, I almost forgot that it was going to

348
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:51,680
be a thing. And then when I started, I was like, yeah, you know, I like these characters. And I

349
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:58,880
like seeing them strategize and do this battle royale thing. So I'm here for it. Sure. I'll keep

350
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:08,000
watching it. So what you got? My last keeper, because we're going to get to the big one is

351
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:15,680
also a returning show. And it's the second season of Blue Lock. Blue lock versus Japan U20.

352
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:24,720
The return of soccer squid game. Yes, no, I mean, that's subtitle I added. But I mean, I get that,

353
00:40:24,720 --> 00:40:31,040
but from everything you described the show as it sure sounds like it. Yes, absolutely. And if

354
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:37,520
people remember that review, that is one of the sports anime of watching recent sports anime,

355
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:44,480
that I watched in recent time that I enjoyed the most. It was a super fun first season, well animated,

356
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:53,600
great characters, super surprising, developments and everything. And just completely insane.

357
00:40:53,600 --> 00:41:00,160
I loved it. So I of course, keep watching the second season. And yeah, it hits it off.

358
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:06,160
Remedely, it starts off where it left off to keep Blue Lock going. A selection of the best

359
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:13,440
of this experiment have to beat the Japanese U20 soccer team in a match. And to select the best team

360
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:20,080
members, Ego Jean Pouchy, the creator of this nonsense came up with another one of his petited

361
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:27,360
special games. And yeah, it looks like it's going to be fun times. And the last season had some

362
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:32,800
surprising eliminations. And so now we see a lot of new faces that step into the spotlight.

363
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:38,080
And assuming this will all culminate in a grouch match between one of Blue Lock star players,

364
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:44,160
Rina and his brother, Si, who is on the U20 team. So yeah, second season promises to be just as fun.

365
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:49,120
It's the first one, more larger than life characters with flashy designs over the top villains

366
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:57,280
in the form of the bosses of the Japanese football union. It's so dumb. And the show has so much

367
00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:01,680
fun with it. I'm very happy to be able to board this nonsense trade again. And I'm sure it's

368
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:08,720
going to be a blast. So yeah, that's going to be that. John, what is our shared final keeper?

369
00:42:08,720 --> 00:42:16,800
What else could it be? What else could it be other than the return of the king? Dragon ball,

370
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:31,280
Daima. Yes. So this is, it's not GT. No, it's not, it's not super. It's not GT. It's not Z. It's in

371
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:38,640
between Z and super actually. So it's not even picking up right off the super before I die.

372
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:48,640
So yeah, this is the story of what I believe, Goma is the brother of Dobra.

373
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:57,840
I'm not sure he's a brother, but he was definitely the one next in line to rule the demon realm.

374
00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:01,360
Next to Dobra. Dobra was killed by boo.

375
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:09,440
And so Goma decides, hey, what if I just sort of kick things off a little prematurely because

376
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:16,720
Dobra surely didn't come back later, no, sir. Didn't get to go into heaven and be a good guy

377
00:43:16,720 --> 00:43:21,200
because he was being taken control of by Bobbady. We didn't ignore that. Shut up.

378
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:29,680
So I didn't happen. So Goma decided, you know, hey, he and his assistant,

379
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:39,360
Degetoo are watching what is essentially a nine minute long recap of the boo saga.

380
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:46,400
I mean, the boo saga has been a while ago. So it's very not too bad to have that recap in there,

381
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:53,920
especially since time has set up relies so heavily on my happens there. I will say this three

382
00:43:53,920 --> 00:44:04,400
animated boo saga looks pretty good. Yes. Yes. But he and Degetoo learn of the earth's dragon balls

383
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:09,680
and how they grant three wishes and there's so much better than their own dragon balls and how

384
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:14,880
and they're seven of them, which is sort of like, what do you mean? What do you mean? What do you

385
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:21,360
mean? They're seven of them. Apparently in the demon realm, there's only three dragon balls,

386
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:27,920
but they are guarded by these Toma Gami, I think they're called, who are created by this like

387
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:35,600
super, super old and namek that just sort of hangs out there. And you know, you have to defeat

388
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:44,080
the Toma Gami to use these dragon balls, which Goma and Degetoo don't have the strength to do that.

389
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:51,120
So they're like, hey, what if we go to the outside world and use the earth's dragon balls and do some

390
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:58,240
shenanigan re with it? But the warriors on earth are all really strong. What if we turn them into

391
00:44:58,240 --> 00:45:05,680
children, that'll do the trick. Surely there's no back downside to this until they get to the point

392
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:15,040
where Shen Long is like, how specific is this wish? Give me the details, which I think is really

393
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:21,280
funny because most of the time Shen Long is just like, okay, here's your wish get out of here,

394
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:30,320
but Goma is like, all right, fine. They're all first graders except for the ones that

395
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:39,760
that are already kids, they're going to be babies. He's a great. And I think they also with their

396
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:46,320
second wish, one wish for for some kind of evil eye amulet thingy or something that apparently makes

397
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:52,320
this very pretty strong. So maybe that's their full back plan. I don't know. Yeah. And they don't

398
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:56,880
have a plan for their third wish. But take a shoe. He really wants a wish, bro.

399
00:45:56,880 --> 00:46:03,600
So research also his sister figures into that as well. She puts the thought into Goma said, actually,

400
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:08,400
that he should do something about these earth things, right? It's like in the beginning, he's just like,

401
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:13,760
I'm going to take over now because Deborah has gone and Bobby is gone and boo is gone. So I'm a

402
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:20,800
made man. Nobody's staying in my way. And then she's like, well, you know, I know because they're

403
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:24,640
like these strong earthlings. And if you cause some ruckus, they might let you know,

404
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:32,240
might not find that cool. And he's like, fuck. So yeah, they decide to be choose to train. Well,

405
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:39,680
also maybe you should bring up is that both the gisu and his sister are the siblings of the supreme

406
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:46,160
Kai. There's a lot of interesting Lord, this first episode for Dragon World things is like,

407
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:52,400
what is that? A lot on us. Yes. Like that. And there's like the nemechians who are now called

408
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:56,160
nemechs for some reason, just like the plan. I thought they were always called nemechians,

409
00:46:56,160 --> 00:47:02,320
since when they're just called nemechs. That is kind of uninterchangeable. Okay. I thought

410
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:09,280
I was nemechians, but anyway, apparently now they actually managed to explain a way of why or now

411
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:14,560
give a proper explanation why peak love was the demon Lord in the beginning phases of Dragon Ball.

412
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:21,120
And we only later thought how he was an alien, but the ancestors of the neemings apparently were

413
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:26,960
members or lived in the demon realm. And then they set out and searched their own planet. And that's

414
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:33,280
where the planet nemech comes from, but that's where there's still one nemech guy hanging around in

415
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:39,120
the demon realm. And why peak love apparently was declaring himself the demon king because he

416
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:47,280
apparently just returned from nemech to the or he was still around in the demon realm, but they are

417
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:53,360
the same people. So they're both members of or citizens of the demon realm, but also they searched

418
00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:59,840
and made their or populated their own planet. Very interesting all of that shit. It wasn't necessarily

419
00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:04,080
necessary to put that in there because Dragon Ball lore is bullshit anyway because Toriyama

420
00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:10,160
was making up all of that shit on the go and didn't remember half of it when he did the later

421
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:14,960
story. So it doesn't really matter, but it's nice. It's like, hey, they're putting in the extra

422
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:24,960
word to make all of that kind of gel more well together. So that's interesting. I like the first episode

423
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:31,200
of this a lot. I thought this was really fun set up. I mean, we'll see what they eventually do with

424
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:38,160
this and where this will go aside from, hey, we need to we want to be adults again. But of what's

425
00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:45,680
actually going to be Goma's plan, I'll do Dagasu and Arinsu actually figure into that. What is

426
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:54,400
Supreme Kai going to do about his bad siblings and yeah, I have a feeling that the old nemech is also

427
00:48:54,400 --> 00:49:00,720
maybe going to play a different part later down the road. Let's see. We'll see. Yeah, also apparently

428
00:49:00,720 --> 00:49:06,400
nemech can just raise your hand and gather up the dragon balls and reactivate them. Not all of them,

429
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:11,120
not all of them. I mean, you see Dandes reaction to this where it's like, what, what, how can he do that?

430
00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:19,840
I think it's just a special thing that that particular nomad can do because he's so old and he has

431
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:27,280
created the one who created the demon realm dragon balls. So he must be one of the very first Namex

432
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:33,920
around and you know, Goma has this one of commentaries like, hey, if you do this, I'm going to prolong

433
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:40,960
your life for another thousand years, right? So another thousand years. So that guy has been around

434
00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:49,520
for a while. So yeah, let's see. All of this is very interesting and I'm judging from the first

435
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:55,200
episode. This might be the consistently best looking DB show of them all, which is what I hope

436
00:49:55,200 --> 00:50:00,000
would be the case because the bittersweet aspect of all of this is of course that this will be the

437
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:05,760
last Dragon Ball anything with Akira Toriyama's direct involvement since he died earlier this year.

438
00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:13,120
So I expected this to be an all-hands-on-deck situation and it looks like Toriy is delivering exactly

439
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:19,760
that. So yeah, the hype is real and here's to one final fun ride, seared by the Master's influence.

440
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:26,800
I'm looking forward to it a lot. Seems like you are too, John. Yeah, I'm going to see where it goes.

441
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:34,160
So hopefully it says because this first episode was pretty fun. Hopefully it will stay that way.

442
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:39,520
I'm pretty sure. I mean, this was just a setup episode and I like Goma and Digoso as like this

443
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:46,560
team. They got some pilaf energy going like they're not super evil guys. They're just these

444
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:53,680
little skimmers in the background, but also not that competent. It's just fun. It's just really fun.

445
00:50:54,800 --> 00:51:03,360
So I'll see where this goes and yeah, the only downside to this is since this is a set before super,

446
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:09,280
we won't have some of my favorite characters from super in this of course. And it's like,

447
00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:17,120
you know, I wish there to be is equal to super actually more than this, but hey, Toriyama want

448
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:22,560
to do this. So more power to him and to his legacy and everything. And I'm pretty sure it's going to

449
00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:29,360
be fun. It's just like, you know, I'm going to miss Beerus. I'm going to miss Miss Whiz and,

450
00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:35,920
you know, some of the other characters that were introduced and super in the movies. And

451
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:43,120
yeah, so hey, and super manga is still going, right? So they got enough stories they could adapt

452
00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:50,960
from that as well. I mean, maybe we'll get a super to at some point. Well, that's the thing,

453
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:55,200
right? One still writes issue and everything has been cleared up, which is of course not

454
00:51:55,200 --> 00:52:00,240
being forwarded out. And it's the ugly side of this. But once that has been cleared,

455
00:52:00,240 --> 00:52:07,680
expect like of the luge of new Dragon Ball shit because I mean, they're going to be respectful,

456
00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:13,360
probably, or try to be. But the tea happened when Toriyama was still around. Can you imagine,

457
00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:19,920
know that he doesn't have a diary influence anymore, like how much they're going to try to milk this.

458
00:52:20,720 --> 00:52:32,160
It now. I tend to think of when Steven Hillenberg passed and he was like, yeah, I don't want SpongeBob

459
00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:40,080
to continue on and look at what Nickelodeon has done with it. So, you know, let's see, I mean,

460
00:52:40,080 --> 00:52:44,880
corporate handringing comes back to bear. I mean, I want to believe that Toriyama will be a bit more

461
00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:52,480
respectful to it, but also maybe not. And also it makes money. Oh, yeah, Trangmol makes so much

462
00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:58,320
fucking money. And I mean, people will probably be happy. I mean, a lot of people look forward to this.

463
00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:04,560
So me included. So of course, I wouldn't mind more Dragon Ball. I just hope they're going to try

464
00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:11,520
to keep the quality of the recent things they put out, or they're going to keep trying to keep

465
00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:17,120
the quality level to that of the recent things they put out because the stuff that came with the new

466
00:53:17,120 --> 00:53:23,360
movies and with Super and everything, I really enjoyed. So, and Dime is probably going to be on the same

467
00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:27,840
quality level. So I hope after that we get more, if we get more that we get more of this kind of

468
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:35,520
quality would be nice. So yeah, that's the big, big keeper for this season that we're definitely

469
00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:38,720
going to keep watching, but we also had some other stuff in there that might have beat your interest.

470
00:53:38,720 --> 00:53:44,720
Dear listeners, but with that we're done with the sneak peek. We're going to move over to our

471
00:53:44,720 --> 00:53:46,960
first review some of season.

472
00:53:46,960 --> 00:54:01,600
So, you know, Dragon Ball is weird and absurd and crazy. And then there's my dear friend Noco time.

473
00:54:02,240 --> 00:54:09,760
Different level. Yeah, it's okay. It's not going on the door. Pop team epic just a little bit.

474
00:54:09,760 --> 00:54:20,720
I'll say. So, Tarako Koshi is the epitome of perfection with her peerless beauty top-notch grades

475
00:54:20,720 --> 00:54:27,600
and position as student council precedent. Her popularity in school is unrivaled. However,

476
00:54:27,600 --> 00:54:32,960
she harbors a dark secret. She was a delinquent back in middle school and this is something she can

477
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:40,960
seal to the best of her abilities. Unfortunately, when she meets the rather mysterious dear girl,

478
00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:49,600
Noco Shikanocho. Tarako's hidden shame is constantly on the precipice of being exposed

479
00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:56,720
due to Shikanocho's rather weird antics. To maintain the reputation she worked so hard for

480
00:54:56,720 --> 00:55:03,200
Tarako must go along with Shikanocho's whims even going so far to become the present of the newly

481
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:12,560
established deer club. All her efforts will be rewarded if she can prevent the menacing dough

482
00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:17,600
from accidentally blurting out damaging details about her personal history that will undoubtedly

483
00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:24,960
unleash Tarako's greatest nightmare. Thank you, M.A.L. rewrite for that summary that does not even

484
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:32,640
begin to cover what this show is like. How could it? Like, how can you? I mean, we're going to try

485
00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:39,920
to make sense of this and convey what this show is about. Yeah, but, uh,

486
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:48,720
it's going to be tough. It's going to be really tough because yes, this, of course, is a

487
00:55:48,720 --> 00:55:56,080
gag show. We have two or three segments in most episodes that each covered like this little mini story.

488
00:55:56,080 --> 00:56:02,880
Most of them are unrelated. In fact, I think there are some episodes that feel in terms of what

489
00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:07,920
kind of little story they do, like they could have been at a different part in the season.

490
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:13,520
I think there was one in episode five where it's like, it feels like this should have been episode two

491
00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:22,400
because of how continuity. Yeah, yeah. Who cares? Nobody cares. I know, but I still like popped up for

492
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:30,320
viewers like, I feel like they're behaving more antagonistic towards each other and having,

493
00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:35,760
you know, and they haven't found like that of a common footing yet. And she's still trying to

494
00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:40,400
find out. And then in other episodes, it's more like, hey, they feel like more of a team. So,

495
00:56:41,120 --> 00:56:41,920
But who cares?

496
00:56:41,920 --> 00:56:47,840
Me, Noko is always trying to get Torekko's goat.

497
00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:52,800
Yeah.

498
00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:57,360
Oh, but yeah, this is...

499
00:56:57,360 --> 00:57:01,680
Okay, so this is based, you say, no, no, no, no.

500
00:57:01,680 --> 00:57:06,480
Buy an artist who only goes by the name.

501
00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:08,720
Oh, she, oh, she, Oh.

502
00:57:08,720 --> 00:57:13,120
How appropriate.

503
00:57:13,120 --> 00:57:19,000
This is their only work aside from apparently doing some promotional illustrations for summertime

504
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:23,900
rendering, which I guess is a pretty good show for everything I've heard, but I've never

505
00:57:23,900 --> 00:57:25,240
watched it myself.

506
00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:29,920
I wanted to check that out because it's also apparently like a motor mystery thing and

507
00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:36,280
yeah, eventually it's just one of those shows that are in Disney Plus and we're not probably

508
00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:41,000
advertised and just nobody watched it because nobody knows that exists.

509
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:46,640
I might bring that up in a quick and the dead once I've checked it out, but yeah, it's

510
00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:49,200
still my backlog.

511
00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:56,520
This is directed by Masahiko Ota who has done a lot of like goofy shows in the past.

512
00:57:56,520 --> 00:58:02,040
So this is definitely up there, Ali stuff like we talked about, or I talked about Gabriel,

513
00:58:02,040 --> 00:58:03,600
drop out briefly.

514
00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:08,920
There's other dumb shows in their repertoire.

515
00:58:08,920 --> 00:58:12,760
So this again, this is up there, Ali.

516
00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:16,920
This is also brought to Spire Good Friends at WIT Studio.

517
00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:17,920
Yay.

518
00:58:17,920 --> 00:58:26,920
Kind of a bit of a different flavor when compared to a tech on tight, or something like that.

519
00:58:26,920 --> 00:58:29,160
Compared to literally everything else.

520
00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:32,720
Yeah, but although.

521
00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:38,560
WIT have made it their thing in recent or since they let go of a tech on tight and to do to

522
00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:41,320
be unpredictable in terms of what projects that pick up.

523
00:58:41,320 --> 00:58:48,080
So this seems kind of now in accordance with their new behavior.

524
00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:53,320
So it feels like that is something they would pick up now because it's just so very different.

525
00:58:53,320 --> 00:58:58,160
I'm apparently this is probably something for another discussion, but apparently they're

526
00:58:58,160 --> 00:59:02,640
working on a remake of that old show, Yaiba.

527
00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:03,640
Interesting.

528
00:59:03,640 --> 00:59:04,640
That's cool.

529
00:59:04,640 --> 00:59:09,480
That's, we'll talk about that another time, I guess, but yes.

530
00:59:09,480 --> 00:59:12,720
WIT Studio kind of.

531
00:59:12,720 --> 00:59:19,720
Yeah, they definitely had their pattern of work in apparently someone over there woke up

532
00:59:19,720 --> 00:59:24,120
one day and said, let's do something else.

533
00:59:24,120 --> 00:59:25,920
And that's where we are.

534
00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:26,920
Yeah.

535
00:59:26,920 --> 00:59:30,400
They, they sure chose something else to work on.

536
00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:38,680
I don't know how to concretely, concretely describe what the heck this show is because it's,

537
00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:40,000
it's all over the place.

538
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:47,680
It's, it is a gag manga and it goes, it goes from point A to point Z back to point D real

539
00:59:47,680 --> 00:59:48,680
quick.

540
00:59:48,680 --> 00:59:50,560
Like there was one episode in particular there.

541
00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:55,360
They were like, hey guys, so we didn't have a cohesive plot for this episode.

542
00:59:55,360 --> 00:59:59,720
So here's like 13 different like real quick fire shorts have fun and it's like, you know

543
00:59:59,720 --> 01:00:00,720
what?

544
01:00:00,720 --> 01:00:01,720
I enjoyed that episode.

545
01:00:01,720 --> 01:00:02,720
Okay.

546
01:00:02,720 --> 01:00:03,720
Sure.

547
01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:05,320
All right.

548
01:00:05,320 --> 01:00:06,320
Hmm.

549
01:00:06,320 --> 01:00:14,200
So the, we already told us the story set up story very much in quotes and a lot of quotes

550
01:00:14,200 --> 01:00:15,200
quotations.

551
01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:19,920
Um, like they keep to that for maybe one episode and then they're like, we're just, we're

552
01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:21,920
just going to go off in this direction now.

553
01:00:21,920 --> 01:00:25,320
It's basically, it's just like a kind, not even slice of, but, you know, you know, you

554
01:00:25,320 --> 01:00:30,760
know, yes, slice of life ish gag comedy was just about, hey, here's this weird year girl.

555
01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:34,160
And here's this former did liquid.

556
01:00:34,160 --> 01:00:40,480
Now trying, now class counsel student council president who tries to be, you know, this

557
01:00:40,480 --> 01:00:45,840
Chinese sparkly girl who everyone adores and she's doing a press and she's putting the

558
01:00:45,840 --> 01:00:48,240
work and then she wants to be admired for it.

559
01:00:48,240 --> 01:00:51,200
Everything and she has good grades and all that shit.

560
01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:57,200
And she's no cartoon dive bombing into her life and making a whole mess of it.

561
01:00:57,200 --> 01:01:02,160
And she taking it like a trooper and trying to make the best of it.

562
01:01:02,160 --> 01:01:04,440
Like she's like, okay, now we have a dear club.

563
01:01:04,440 --> 01:01:07,160
I'm the, I am the president of this.

564
01:01:07,160 --> 01:01:11,160
So I'm gonna make be, let it be the best dear club.

565
01:01:11,160 --> 01:01:15,480
There is and what that means to me is it's going to have a very sparkly clubhouse.

566
01:01:15,480 --> 01:01:17,360
And that is that.

567
01:01:17,360 --> 01:01:18,360
In the shed out back.

568
01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:19,360
Yeah.

569
01:01:19,360 --> 01:01:25,320
And she's a very pretty shed and you know, then some other characters come into the story

570
01:01:25,320 --> 01:01:29,920
that or again, throw a wrench into that because.

571
01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:32,920
Also has a weird sister who is like this.

572
01:01:32,920 --> 01:01:36,120
Siskon Yandere and who.

573
01:01:36,120 --> 01:01:39,400
Yeah, Anko is.

574
01:01:39,400 --> 01:01:45,560
And she demolishes that shed and then she tries to kill no cotan because she feels like

575
01:01:45,560 --> 01:01:51,880
no cotan took away her sister from her like her affection because now all.

576
01:01:51,880 --> 01:01:54,800
Torakodas is like hang out in the club room and so on.

577
01:01:54,800 --> 01:01:57,560
She doesn't come home anymore, but also.

578
01:01:57,560 --> 01:02:03,280
Anko has a completely different idea about their relationship that her sister does.

579
01:02:03,280 --> 01:02:07,000
So and then later we get like the.

580
01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:15,520
Like we get another club member, Basha May, who apparently is very much into.

581
01:02:15,520 --> 01:02:16,520
Rise.

582
01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:20,120
Yeah, she wants to have her own race, Paddy and the school.

583
01:02:20,120 --> 01:02:21,120
Can we talk?

584
01:02:21,120 --> 01:02:26,840
Can we talk for a second hour or first name is Mehmet in that you know her first name is.

585
01:02:26,840 --> 01:02:27,840
Mehmet yes.

586
01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:32,960
Of course, but yeah, she she's done this into that because she apparently collapses in front

587
01:02:32,960 --> 01:02:37,160
of the school and no cotan saves her with with dear crackers.

588
01:02:37,160 --> 01:02:42,240
Which is also a big theme in the show, dear crackers like years are very much into these

589
01:02:42,240 --> 01:02:43,240
crackers.

590
01:02:43,240 --> 01:02:49,040
So they're very prominent in the show, but she saves Basha, no cotan saves Basha with that.

591
01:02:49,040 --> 01:02:54,440
And so now that Basha wants to also become a deer and wants to know cotan to be her sensei

592
01:02:54,440 --> 01:02:57,400
and everything and thus.

593
01:02:57,400 --> 01:03:04,640
The club is complete and our four musket deers are complete and that's where we go from

594
01:03:04,640 --> 01:03:09,040
for the rest of the story.

595
01:03:09,040 --> 01:03:16,200
And yeah, each episode is just like this, this small vignette of fucking absurdly weird shit

596
01:03:16,200 --> 01:03:21,760
happening to our main character and the humor is very much of the ilk, something outrageously

597
01:03:21,760 --> 01:03:26,000
absurd happens and Turaku overreacts loudly to it.

598
01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:29,040
That's like 95% of the comedy.

599
01:03:29,040 --> 01:03:31,440
The rest is reference humor.

600
01:03:31,440 --> 01:03:36,240
So we might say the joke variety is a bit stagnant.

601
01:03:36,240 --> 01:03:43,160
A little bit, but I mean they try and switch up a little bit from episode to episode doesn't

602
01:03:43,160 --> 01:03:45,920
always feel 100% the same.

603
01:03:45,920 --> 01:03:49,080
I mean, if that is your brand of comedy, you'll probably love this.

604
01:03:49,080 --> 01:03:55,000
If not, it might become grating very quickly, even though all the characters are pretty

605
01:03:55,000 --> 01:03:59,840
cute and endearing while all being weird as an or idiots at the same time.

606
01:03:59,840 --> 01:04:01,360
But you know, there's a pathetic.

607
01:04:01,360 --> 01:04:06,960
It's not forget the most important characters, the literal ball of antlers.

608
01:04:06,960 --> 01:04:11,960
Yes, the antlers of no cotan are kind of kind of sentient.

609
01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:17,640
They're like their own entity and they can separate from our body and it's, it's a whole

610
01:04:17,640 --> 01:04:18,640
thing.

611
01:04:18,640 --> 01:04:21,240
It's very special.

612
01:04:21,240 --> 01:04:28,840
Like the problem is, there is not a real through line in terms of plot or character development

613
01:04:28,840 --> 01:04:32,480
or anything that you can talk about in the story.

614
01:04:32,480 --> 01:04:39,360
So the only thing we can do is pick out some of the highlights and some of the things that

615
01:04:39,360 --> 01:04:45,040
happen in this show and just talk about them, just like the little vignettes that the show

616
01:04:45,040 --> 01:04:47,600
has themselves, like the mini stories.

617
01:04:47,600 --> 01:04:53,240
And I suggest that's all we can do and that's what we will do because trying to find

618
01:04:53,240 --> 01:04:57,120
something like a through line in here is really difficult.

619
01:04:57,120 --> 01:05:05,680
Although I gotta give it to the show, they, I mean, the show even, the show even recognizes

620
01:05:05,680 --> 01:05:11,720
that themselves, they can do foreshadowing and pay off because in the second or third episode

621
01:05:11,720 --> 01:05:16,560
Basha may have introduced and she's like, I want to build a rice patty and the narrator

622
01:05:16,560 --> 01:05:19,080
tells us, look forward to episode 10.

623
01:05:19,080 --> 01:05:22,440
That's when the fucking rice patty is going to come in and that's what happens.

624
01:05:22,440 --> 01:05:24,160
That's what got them happens.

625
01:05:24,160 --> 01:05:27,720
They pay that off and I commend them for it.

626
01:05:27,720 --> 01:05:34,680
The narrator is shockingly self aware, even compared to other shows with, you know, over

627
01:05:34,680 --> 01:05:37,000
the top narrator's man.

628
01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:42,160
The fourth wall does not exist in this show because it has already been shattered into

629
01:05:42,160 --> 01:05:45,960
a million little pieces like the characters constantly talk to the narrator.

630
01:05:45,960 --> 01:05:50,560
They constantly refer to this being an anime and this being a comedy anime and being like,

631
01:05:50,560 --> 01:05:56,600
this is a episode, I think it's episode five where like a bunch of the link wins attack,

632
01:05:56,600 --> 01:06:00,320
Tora Koon, No Kutana and No Kutana, throw sir endless and of course there's dynamite in

633
01:06:00,320 --> 01:06:05,200
the antlers and dynamite blows up the entire school and looks like they're dead but then

634
01:06:05,200 --> 01:06:09,880
they're totally fine in the next scene and Tora Koon is like, well, thank God this is a stupid

635
01:06:09,880 --> 01:06:10,880
gag anime.

636
01:06:10,880 --> 01:06:13,320
Otherwise we'd be dead.

637
01:06:13,320 --> 01:06:15,120
Yeah.

638
01:06:15,120 --> 01:06:16,120
Yeah.

639
01:06:16,120 --> 01:06:21,560
So that's what you're getting with this and it's just fun.

640
01:06:21,560 --> 01:06:27,440
Everyone who watched the OP of this probably knows what they're getting into.

641
01:06:27,440 --> 01:06:33,720
We talked about this in our sneak peek where it's like there is a dark souls review deer.

642
01:06:33,720 --> 01:06:35,680
A new deer, dark souls reference.

643
01:06:35,680 --> 01:06:36,680
It's okay.

644
01:06:36,680 --> 01:06:37,680
We know what is happening.

645
01:06:37,680 --> 01:06:38,680
This is crazy shit.

646
01:06:38,680 --> 01:06:43,680
No Kutana sometimes forms into a fist of the North Star character for some reason which

647
01:06:43,680 --> 01:06:45,680
is actually acknowledged by Tora Koon.

648
01:06:45,680 --> 01:06:49,640
She's like, who are you when when No Kutana does that?

649
01:06:49,640 --> 01:06:53,120
Like sometimes characters just ignore these character transformations and other comedy

650
01:06:53,120 --> 01:06:57,720
shows but this it's like no she actually changes the shape of her body.

651
01:06:57,720 --> 01:07:03,280
She looks different not only to us but to the characters in the show when she does this

652
01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:14,440
and speaking of the OP a metal cover songwriter YouTuber that I follow a little females did

653
01:07:14,440 --> 01:07:22,160
a cover of the OP and Japan found and found out found it and celebrated him in the comments

654
01:07:22,160 --> 01:07:30,240
and that video this version with him dressing up in the synosuit and singing the little

655
01:07:30,240 --> 01:07:36,960
cute girl OP in his death metal voice or whatever has now 7.2 million views.

656
01:07:36,960 --> 01:07:39,960
I think it's the most successful video on his channel.

657
01:07:39,960 --> 01:07:42,400
It's what got him to a million subs.

658
01:07:42,400 --> 01:07:43,400
Yes.

659
01:07:43,400 --> 01:07:45,040
Good for you little V.

660
01:07:45,040 --> 01:07:47,000
That's all it would story right there.

661
01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:48,720
That's a fairytale.

662
01:07:48,720 --> 01:07:52,960
And so you do it with with your rendition of that stupid OP.

663
01:07:52,960 --> 01:07:57,320
But yeah very fun and I recommend you watching that video.

664
01:07:57,320 --> 01:08:00,160
I will put it in the in the show notes of course.

665
01:08:00,160 --> 01:08:02,560
So you can check it out yourself.

666
01:08:02,560 --> 01:08:04,840
But yeah so that happens.

667
01:08:04,840 --> 01:08:09,040
But yeah like I said no for fall existing constant back and forth between the narrative the

668
01:08:09,040 --> 01:08:17,120
narrative comments every time on what happens in the show in sometimes more sarcastic ways

669
01:08:17,120 --> 01:08:25,120
than other times and also he constant characters and he constantly make clear that they know

670
01:08:25,120 --> 01:08:30,280
that this is an anime and this is just a whole big ball of nonsense that they're taking

671
01:08:30,280 --> 01:08:31,280
part in.

672
01:08:31,280 --> 01:08:32,280
Yeah.

673
01:08:32,280 --> 01:08:37,320
I feel the other narrator in recent years that I feel like there's been quite this software

674
01:08:37,320 --> 01:08:41,120
was the one in Kaguya Sama.

675
01:08:41,120 --> 01:08:42,640
Especially in the dub dude.

676
01:08:42,640 --> 01:08:48,240
Yeah so I've heard yeah very much I mean there are some gag anime where this is par for the

677
01:08:48,240 --> 01:08:56,680
core especially in dub versions where they even put more of a thing on that I think I'm

678
01:08:56,680 --> 01:09:01,400
right pizza cats was like that I don't know if the the narrative was as set up aware in

679
01:09:01,400 --> 01:09:04,960
the original as they were in the western version but that was definitely in there and

680
01:09:04,960 --> 01:09:10,360
so with the characters but probably was the same or close enough it was probably had the

681
01:09:10,360 --> 01:09:11,800
same level of energy.

682
01:09:11,800 --> 01:09:17,760
Yeah I mean there's some gag anime that are not as narrator heavy but this is definitely

683
01:09:17,760 --> 01:09:22,280
one of those where that is the case it's like the narrator constantly gives us interesting

684
01:09:22,280 --> 01:09:28,800
facts about the year but also about the characters and what they might think or might not think

685
01:09:28,800 --> 01:09:33,800
and what they said or not like he corrects like if they said they say something that actually

686
01:09:33,800 --> 01:09:40,960
is not like no that is not true see episode so and so and yeah it's weird like these small

687
01:09:40,960 --> 01:09:46,000
little mini panels in in Marvel comics earlier where you weren't able to keep track of all

688
01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:52,080
the story lines and like hey check out episode issue blah blah blah of Spider-Man so and so

689
01:09:52,080 --> 01:09:57,000
to find out more about this and the narrator is the thing that comics do.

690
01:09:57,000 --> 01:10:01,840
Yeah and the narrator is kind of doing that in this show as well.

691
01:10:01,840 --> 01:10:08,640
I noticed a pattern with the names of the student council members I don't know if you did

692
01:10:08,640 --> 01:10:09,960
as well.

693
01:10:09,960 --> 01:10:16,280
Neco Yamada Tanuki Koji and I kind of had to look this one up because I don't know as

694
01:10:16,280 --> 01:10:21,080
many Japanese animal names but Tsubame yeah is you know Tsubame is supposed to be like

695
01:10:21,080 --> 01:10:28,040
a swallow but you know and I guess to an extent with Basya maybe because Basya is a horse

696
01:10:28,040 --> 01:10:33,920
drawn carriage but it's a little bit of a stretch but this show does a lot of stretching

697
01:10:33,920 --> 01:10:40,520
so I'm willing to be like okay fine I'll let you have that one.

698
01:10:40,520 --> 01:10:45,760
Yeah and I mean at the central the central core of all of this is of course our little

699
01:10:45,760 --> 01:10:54,680
dear girl and it's hard enough like it's it's impossible to make sense of the entire show

700
01:10:54,680 --> 01:11:02,040
when it's already so hard to make sense of Noko Tan herself like what what is Noko Tan

701
01:11:02,040 --> 01:11:04,800
like she is like.

702
01:11:04,800 --> 01:11:05,800
Noko Tan is Noko Tan.

703
01:11:05,800 --> 01:11:10,400
Yeah she can just do whatever is Noko Tan immortal or she's just so shitty that she is

704
01:11:10,400 --> 01:11:12,880
rejected by the dear God in heaven who knows.

705
01:11:12,880 --> 01:11:19,480
There's a seed that might give you the idea that's what are the other and you know we

706
01:11:19,480 --> 01:11:26,120
got her obsession with with dear cracker of course is like running joke and we have like

707
01:11:26,120 --> 01:11:31,360
the sequence as facility in Nara who are they're making dear crackers like live action

708
01:11:31,360 --> 01:11:32,360
footage.

709
01:11:32,360 --> 01:11:37,920
Yes a lot of live action and this a lot of we haven't even mentioned the weird CG dear yet

710
01:11:37,920 --> 01:11:42,640
that of course is a big part of the show as well and hanging around in a lot of scenes.

711
01:11:42,640 --> 01:11:46,760
They're weird and yet it feels so right.

712
01:11:46,760 --> 01:11:52,080
For this show it does like her little any other show it would be like what are you doing?

713
01:11:52,080 --> 01:11:59,160
Yeah her little friend from the zoo that shows up and Tora who mistakes him for for for

714
01:11:59,160 --> 01:12:04,960
Noko Tan because it's just a normal dear and just like of course it's her because why would

715
01:12:04,960 --> 01:12:09,680
another dear be here in this club which is a legit assumption but still like half you

716
01:12:09,680 --> 01:12:14,560
looked and half you stepped back and then looked at the show that you were in woman it's

717
01:12:14,560 --> 01:12:16,080
just okay.

718
01:12:16,080 --> 01:12:23,080
But that breaks between another point no ko Tanas antlers usually only male dear self antlers

719
01:12:23,080 --> 01:12:24,080
right.

720
01:12:24,080 --> 01:12:27,560
Shut up don't worry about it.

721
01:12:27,560 --> 01:12:28,560
I think so.

722
01:12:28,560 --> 01:12:30,720
Shut up don't worry about it.

723
01:12:30,720 --> 01:12:36,160
So even her gender is in flux here so that's also interesting it's like okay.

724
01:12:36,160 --> 01:12:37,160
Sure.

725
01:12:37,160 --> 01:12:40,760
Something something it takes a boy to be the best girl.

726
01:12:40,760 --> 01:12:41,760
I guess yes.

727
01:12:41,760 --> 01:12:45,360
It's not it's not clear.

728
01:12:45,360 --> 01:12:51,320
It's absolutely not clear and the dear cracker stuff neither like well why is like she does

729
01:12:51,320 --> 01:12:59,920
this thing why were resides when when they have I think it's the best this episode is that

730
01:12:59,920 --> 01:13:05,080
in with the cafe or something there's like this thing why do you eat dear crackers because

731
01:13:05,080 --> 01:13:07,440
they're in front of me.

732
01:13:07,440 --> 01:13:11,040
And that sounds like to me like it's a rephrasing of the mountain analogy like why do you

733
01:13:11,040 --> 01:13:16,880
clamp this mountain because it's there it's like it just is and I have to do it.

734
01:13:16,880 --> 01:13:22,280
So is that a dear thing is that like like do all the deers in these in this prefecture

735
01:13:22,280 --> 01:13:27,160
where it is a set do they just is this like a whole big industry with the dear crackers

736
01:13:27,160 --> 01:13:32,480
because I've never been to Japan so I wonder is this the thing are deers generally afraid

737
01:13:32,480 --> 01:13:37,800
of water bottles or is that just a no coton thing why is this even brought up there's

738
01:13:37,800 --> 01:13:41,680
so many questions in this show that are never answered.

739
01:13:41,680 --> 01:13:47,040
I feel like I feel like that one point said the water bottle thing specific to no coton.

740
01:13:47,040 --> 01:13:54,560
Yeah, but I don't know because didn't to do that to the deer she thought was not a

741
01:13:54,560 --> 01:13:57,320
time but the but the deer didn't care.

742
01:13:57,320 --> 01:14:05,060
Yeah, but the question is why then is that in the show and why are water bottles why is

743
01:14:05,060 --> 01:14:11,140
no coton afraid of water bottles never explained don't ask about it don't worry about it.

744
01:14:11,140 --> 01:14:17,780
It's because plastic in how it's difficult to recycle and how frightening it is to use

745
01:14:17,780 --> 01:14:20,060
not I don't know.

746
01:14:20,060 --> 01:14:26,260
But yeah, like I said the humor very much most of the time 90% 95% is like something crazy

747
01:14:26,260 --> 01:14:29,580
just happening something crazy no coton does something crazy the other characters does

748
01:14:29,580 --> 01:14:38,820
do something crazy and Durako slash Koshdan reacts over reacts to it like with a loud

749
01:14:38,820 --> 01:14:45,860
scream comment and that is kind of pretty much the same humor that one piece is doing very

750
01:14:45,860 --> 01:14:55,380
close to that and then the other 5% 10% are reference humor like for example we have in

751
01:14:55,380 --> 01:15:03,260
pop team epic pop team epic is a lot of reference humor and as an example for the first car

752
01:15:03,260 --> 01:15:10,140
for the big part or the big type of humor that is happening in the show there is this episode

753
01:15:10,140 --> 01:15:16,100
that's all about first of all to records private life is suffering because of all of this

754
01:15:16,100 --> 01:15:22,380
like in the first episode already she's out out it as a virgin in the classroom and a previous

755
01:15:22,380 --> 01:15:28,420
dealing with like everyone's reaction to that is more severe than if God damn dear girl

756
01:15:28,420 --> 01:15:33,860
suddenly walking into the classroom and breaking the door and like splinters flying everywhere

757
01:15:33,860 --> 01:15:39,980
and concrete and everyone getting hit in the head by that shit but that's actually one

758
01:15:39,980 --> 01:15:44,660
of the things that correct me up the most like the audience reaction or the lack there

759
01:15:44,660 --> 01:15:50,220
of when something crazy was happening with the no coton every now is completely non-faced

760
01:15:50,220 --> 01:15:56,700
like most of the reactions are like oh that dear so cute and meanwhile on the other side

761
01:15:56,700 --> 01:16:01,500
of things tour of course like what the fuck is happening what is like she only has the

762
01:16:01,500 --> 01:16:06,020
kind of normal reaction to it we later get a character is kind of doing the same thing

763
01:16:06,020 --> 01:16:12,500
I mean I guess neko also has a kind of relatable reaction to most of the shit that is happening

764
01:16:12,500 --> 01:16:19,460
but also later we have like the brother of brother of superman or of I'm not sure one of

765
01:16:19,460 --> 01:16:26,540
them who is running this cafe and no coton and terraco are guests there and he can't fulfill

766
01:16:26,540 --> 01:16:31,940
no coton's needs because of course he doesn't have dear crackers on the menu and that bumps

767
01:16:31,940 --> 01:16:38,340
him out but he also is the first person who kind of reacts normally to a girl with antlers

768
01:16:38,340 --> 01:16:43,980
just walking into his cafe is like what the fuck is this but also he's an idiot as the

769
01:16:43,980 --> 01:16:49,300
narrator tells us that well you know that everyone is in the show yeah but he no

770
01:16:49,300 --> 01:16:56,380
first narrator is like oh did we finally find a normal person and then the guy says something

771
01:16:56,380 --> 01:17:04,260
in the narrator is like oh never mind but yeah the audience reaction was the most fun thing

772
01:17:04,260 --> 01:17:10,220
to me because it was like oh this is so adorable and it was like what what are you saying

773
01:17:10,220 --> 01:17:17,900
look at this shit and yeah then we have this this this this game where uncle and no coton

774
01:17:17,900 --> 01:17:24,140
battle against each other in a knowledge contest about terraco like what they know about

775
01:17:24,140 --> 01:17:29,820
her and it's like this jeopardy thing and she is outed as a plushie lover where she's

776
01:17:29,820 --> 01:17:35,980
hurting us bra and suffers from showtumanga brain rot all with the campaigning in footage

777
01:17:35,980 --> 01:17:46,340
that someone recorded and I don't know I you know neither no coton nor uncle take Dorco's

778
01:17:46,340 --> 01:17:51,580
privacy into consideration when doing this and then they get 10 points for every correct answer

779
01:17:51,580 --> 01:17:57,940
and at the end of the fucking contest like the scoreboard suddenly has like 9 billion or

780
01:17:57,940 --> 01:18:05,460
something 9 billion points on both of them their counters absolutely so either this

781
01:18:05,460 --> 01:18:10,740
game went on for a very long time or if we're playing by jeopardy rule zero a lot of daily

782
01:18:10,740 --> 01:18:16,180
doubles did that they didn't say anything about bonus john not no bonuses in there is which

783
01:18:16,180 --> 01:18:20,740
is always 10 points that was was communicated to us by the show I mean that doesn't mean

784
01:18:20,740 --> 01:18:25,820
anything but that's what was said so I must assume that thing went really from the early

785
01:18:25,820 --> 01:18:30,220
morning till the end of the day and whatever and we and everyone learned about all the

786
01:18:30,220 --> 01:18:36,580
little private details of touraco's life and yeah that's that's you know kind of the part

787
01:18:36,580 --> 01:18:42,940
the the big bulk of jokes in the show which is like all the outrageous shit happening and

788
01:18:42,940 --> 01:18:48,820
tourco would be like no what the what is happening are you crazy and the other part is reference

789
01:18:48,820 --> 01:18:53,180
room you know and we have a lot of references in there like total recall very early reference

790
01:18:53,180 --> 01:18:59,700
when touraco thinks the realistic CG deer is no coton and you know you imagine no coton

791
01:18:59,700 --> 01:19:07,220
just appearing from the deer and the deer part just moves like opens up and shows no coton's

792
01:19:07,220 --> 01:19:13,940
face just like in total recall when Arnold removes that that cyborg mask of the old lady that

793
01:19:13,940 --> 01:19:22,980
he's wearing and we have a terminator reference later winner winner hunter stalks no coton

794
01:19:22,980 --> 01:19:32,500
and what I didn't expect was a full metal jacket reference yeah in complete in English yes I

795
01:19:32,500 --> 01:19:36,720
did I first like wait is this a fate stay night reference you know I am the bone of my

796
01:19:36,720 --> 01:19:42,600
soul whatever I was like no this is the fucking full metal the full metal jacket speed I was

797
01:19:42,600 --> 01:19:49,140
like this man is just for citing the rightful men's creed what yeah yeah so that's that's the kind

798
01:19:49,140 --> 01:19:54,480
of reference humor you get you also you know they reference they reference disney at some point

799
01:19:54,480 --> 01:20:02,560
where it is like playing with fire her yes you you can't they want a reference bambi but the

800
01:20:02,560 --> 01:20:09,760
narratives a touraco interrupts before the narrative can fully say its name because she's afraid to

801
01:20:09,760 --> 01:20:16,000
get soup by disney which okay they are afraid of disney but they can reference smash bros in their

802
01:20:16,000 --> 01:20:22,000
board game episode as if Nintendo lawyers were just as threatening come on who is the less

803
01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:30,880
litigious between the two let's flip a coin good question but yeah this is basically what you

804
01:20:30,880 --> 01:20:39,840
get in this a bunch of weird mini gags and then touraco reacting to it and also a lot of reference

805
01:20:39,840 --> 01:20:45,440
humor like the one that I just counted that we even have a setup for something in the second to

806
01:20:45,440 --> 01:20:51,280
last episode that they walk back immediately at the start of the final episode say oh okay so we

807
01:20:51,280 --> 01:20:56,720
weren't actually gonna open yes self-awarely walk back because the characters coming in like tourcoes

808
01:20:56,720 --> 01:21:01,120
like wait what was this ominous shit in the stinger for this episode don't you don't you want to fall

809
01:21:01,120 --> 01:21:09,280
up on the and they're like no doesn't matter like tourcoe is supposed to be the voice of the audience

810
01:21:09,280 --> 01:21:14,320
and all of this most of the time because she's the only one kind of reacting normally to this and

811
01:21:14,320 --> 01:21:19,760
also like asking the important questions that never get answered there's so much we what was the

812
01:21:19,760 --> 01:21:26,320
weirdest shit in this show john that you were like okay I did not see this coming and I can't

813
01:21:26,320 --> 01:21:35,440
make sense of it I mean between the ball of um antlers and like everything involving antlers

814
01:21:35,440 --> 01:21:41,200
yes like the like the like the tug of war that you just like oh they takes your pulling out my

815
01:21:41,200 --> 01:21:47,360
antlers say really needed to help with that stuff yeah it's a tug of war and then no cotan is in the

816
01:21:47,360 --> 01:21:52,720
middle and they pull at her antler on her antlers and then she's the one who wins this for some reason

817
01:21:52,720 --> 01:22:00,000
oh my god yes it's just like and of course a lot of word jokes and everything puns and stuff like

818
01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:07,200
like this is this is episode where to no cotan reveals that she has a banana stash in one of

819
01:22:07,200 --> 01:22:14,880
her antlers for some reason and then tourcoe responds with bakana and they never it says banana

820
01:22:14,880 --> 01:22:26,560
this top shelf junk I appreciate it uh yes she hides all the kind of things in her antler like I think my

821
01:22:26,560 --> 01:22:31,440
favorite moment was when she took off the top of her head and from the inside you heard these terrifying

822
01:22:31,440 --> 01:22:38,480
voices filled with agony and of course the characters there oh my god taking her head off the first

823
01:22:38,480 --> 01:22:44,160
time she did that I was like I'm sorry excuse me yes I mean she can't just do that she can take off

824
01:22:44,160 --> 01:22:51,840
the either just the antlers or the whole top half of her head like buffer eyes the literal epitome

825
01:22:51,840 --> 01:22:59,040
epitome of head empty no thought yes oh yeah well head is not empty they're suffering souls

826
01:22:59,040 --> 01:23:07,360
and they're apparently stuck in eternal damnation and and also deer crackers maybe both are the same

827
01:23:07,360 --> 01:23:12,240
maybe the deer crackers are sentient and they're crying because no cotan is eating so many of them

828
01:23:12,240 --> 01:23:19,120
maybe they're alive oh no slow down slow down and and that's why they they're crying out which

829
01:23:19,120 --> 01:23:25,680
she opens her head because you know she she kills that john she destroys that she destroys their

830
01:23:25,680 --> 01:23:33,200
souls stop stop yes that's what the show will do to you that's that's the train of thought that you just

831
01:23:33,200 --> 01:23:40,480
that you board and you write it till the end of the cliff um but yeah I don't I don't even know

832
01:23:40,480 --> 01:23:48,320
what else we can say about this show it's just so it's so not sensical like I mean we gave you already

833
01:23:48,320 --> 01:23:53,520
pretty much the inside of the main characters and what they do at that kind of stays the same from

834
01:23:53,520 --> 01:24:00,400
beginning to end same for the side characters uh and they're not that many recurring like we have

835
01:24:00,400 --> 01:24:05,280
the club members of course and then we have the student council and then a couple more like there's

836
01:24:05,280 --> 01:24:11,920
an old lady that sometimes appears and does the thing the uh the in the home room teacher uh

837
01:24:11,920 --> 01:24:16,880
pops up here and there then the brother of one of the student council member sometimes he even

838
01:24:16,880 --> 01:24:23,280
the last episode he's like why am I cup why am I the referee for this boxing fight and the narrator is

839
01:24:23,280 --> 01:24:32,160
like hey it's the last episode everyone on deck guy yes so this show aired at the same time is

840
01:24:32,160 --> 01:24:39,920
the second season of oh shinoko and I bring that up because noko's voice actors mego mehan

841
01:24:39,920 --> 01:24:50,240
plays kana in oh shinoko and they are very diametrically opposed characters to the point that I

842
01:24:50,240 --> 01:25:00,720
feel like okay so the simul cast for noko time was weird because it aired on Wednesdays on an online

843
01:25:00,720 --> 01:25:07,600
service called abema but then that it was aired on tv on sundays so for like the first two three

844
01:25:07,600 --> 01:25:14,720
weeks the simul cast was on sundays weird but sure then they switched it over to Wednesdays which is

845
01:25:14,720 --> 01:25:23,760
the same day is oh shinoko so here mego mehan play these two wildly different characters back to back

846
01:25:23,760 --> 01:25:30,640
I feel like altered my brain chemicals in a way that is not good probably not because it's like

847
01:25:30,640 --> 01:25:38,640
kana is this very calm calm for the most part calm cool reserved she she has a goal in mind she's

848
01:25:38,640 --> 01:25:44,080
going to become like a top tier performer and actress and all that and then there's noko time

849
01:25:44,080 --> 01:25:50,800
yeah I feel like that would fuck with your head if you watch that back to back so like you know

850
01:25:50,800 --> 01:25:59,120
Wednesdays were fun this season for all the wrong reasons uh what's maybe for all the right or

851
01:25:59,120 --> 01:26:06,400
the right reasons that's true um so wonder like it feels like this is also maybe trying to be

852
01:26:06,400 --> 01:26:14,880
like an advertisement for this region of japan like the mid-episode stinger show you tourism spots

853
01:26:14,880 --> 01:26:20,560
like it feels like this is a travel pro at certain points where it's like hey look at these beautiful

854
01:26:20,560 --> 01:26:26,800
places here are real photography photographs of this and also realistic deer and then like you

855
01:26:26,800 --> 01:26:32,240
mentioned the ed where we see a lot of real a lot of life footage from deer and so all that stuff

856
01:26:32,240 --> 01:26:37,360
I brought this up on another discord server and our friend was like what even is this show

857
01:26:37,360 --> 01:26:43,040
her friend was like a promotional anime for vacationing in nara prefecture and i'm just like

858
01:26:43,040 --> 01:26:52,000
I I can't argue that there's no counter to that the one that that kind of emphas or that kind of

859
01:26:52,000 --> 01:26:58,960
supports this assumption is the stuff we just mentioned with you know there being a lot of

860
01:26:58,960 --> 01:27:05,680
realistic or a lot of realistic scenes in the ed and also you know in the mid-stingers and also we

861
01:27:05,680 --> 01:27:10,240
learn a lot about deer and everything not a lot of these facts are probably true but you know

862
01:27:10,240 --> 01:27:14,320
there's a lot of that in there that would advertise the region but then you have

863
01:27:14,320 --> 01:27:21,600
rest of the show and that would actively steer me away from that region because

864
01:27:22,160 --> 01:27:29,360
it seems too crazy and dangerous like deer just wandering into the city and maybe also into your

865
01:27:29,360 --> 01:27:34,240
clubhouse and i mean it would also be adorable but also i don't want to get kicked by deer

866
01:27:34,240 --> 01:27:40,080
that really a thing that deer escapes from the zoo there all the time and you just encounter it

867
01:27:40,080 --> 01:27:46,880
which could be nice but also hmm and you know there's some quite a bunches deer outside from

868
01:27:46,880 --> 01:27:51,600
Nookotan in this show and some of them are really threatening when they appear in screens like

869
01:27:51,600 --> 01:28:00,960
and you know that's just i mean the time is which here appears to yes yes the soundtrack goes wild in

870
01:28:00,960 --> 01:28:05,840
that regard the soundtrack goes wild in general on certain parts like we have also in the final

871
01:28:05,840 --> 01:28:12,320
episode i think is because this is a deer's den association thing is coming off the Nookotan we

872
01:28:12,320 --> 01:28:18,160
have the sports movie montage this training montage with with a lot of scenes that could be lifted

873
01:28:18,160 --> 01:28:24,720
from Rocky and also there's like a riff on i of the tiger in there and that one deer stand guy

874
01:28:24,720 --> 01:28:30,560
looks like a big sub-zapoli and speed wagon from jojo's for some reason um i guess that's also a

875
01:28:30,560 --> 01:28:37,840
reference humor a reference joke i was about to say i wonder head scratch i don't know where some

876
01:28:37,840 --> 01:28:42,480
people i mean jojo's was done by david production not by width so i don't know if some people there

877
01:28:42,480 --> 01:28:51,520
was some overlap but it felt like it so it could be i didn't dive super deep into like all of the

878
01:28:51,520 --> 01:28:58,560
staff but it's entirely possible yeah yeah i don't i don't know who to recommend this show too

879
01:28:58,560 --> 01:29:05,520
it's probably the the biggest problem for me in being like hey is this a keeper is this something

880
01:29:05,520 --> 01:29:11,760
you're good for one episode or is this something you will enjoy all the way through i enjoyed it

881
01:29:11,760 --> 01:29:17,280
but also like i said a lot of the humor stays kind of the same like if you've watched the first episode

882
01:29:17,280 --> 01:29:22,560
you've we you've seen most of what the show has to uh to offer like there's not any real development

883
01:29:22,560 --> 01:29:27,760
in there like it's a classic non-secretary gag manga in that aspect like if you want more of that

884
01:29:27,760 --> 01:29:32,480
you'll have a good time there's enough variety for you this show might not be for you so it's

885
01:29:32,480 --> 01:29:38,160
it's tough like i would say if you enjoy the off-kill to jojo's that are in there like like all the

886
01:29:38,160 --> 01:29:44,240
non-sister that is thrown at you and you're like oh i just let myself get rid of all by this avalanche

887
01:29:44,240 --> 01:29:51,440
of nonsense then you will have a good time like there's just so many weird shit in there there's like

888
01:29:51,440 --> 01:29:58,960
the sea where uncle and and uh turkha fighting in front of the school and there is like this this

889
01:29:58,960 --> 01:30:03,120
energy of course always from uncle oozing up because she has the hots for a sister and there's

890
01:30:03,120 --> 01:30:11,120
like just one pacify just remarking hey sister uri i can dig it and i just i correct up so hard at that

891
01:30:11,120 --> 01:30:17,120
because it came out of nowhere and was just like that's this guy and the substance that they're put

892
01:30:17,120 --> 01:30:24,160
off goes because i doubt the you know the because of the i dig it it was just i can't sister you

893
01:30:24,160 --> 01:30:32,320
i can dig it like what what is happening uh you know you don't always have to see the quiet part out loud

894
01:30:32,320 --> 01:30:38,320
yeah but that guy did it was amazing so there a lot of little mom there were a lot of little moments

895
01:30:38,320 --> 01:30:44,880
in this show that really made me laugh and it was like oh this is just so stupid and so out there

896
01:30:44,880 --> 01:30:50,720
and i didn't see it coming and that's what i liked it for i don't know if i liked it just for

897
01:30:51,280 --> 01:30:56,640
for a lot of the stuff that it did in every episode was like oh okay it's the same structure again

898
01:30:56,640 --> 01:31:01,840
the same here non-sense when no kutan this is happening this this happening and after while

899
01:31:01,840 --> 01:31:08,000
that felt a bit stale for me because i felt like okay this is just a variation of what we had in

900
01:31:08,000 --> 01:31:16,480
the previous episode it doesn't feel as fresh anymore and it always i get that i feel like it's always

901
01:31:16,480 --> 01:31:22,720
like it's always no kutan doing some shit with her antlers or it's a weird deer thing happy

902
01:31:22,720 --> 01:31:27,600
to be fair that is what the show is about it's just about deer nonsense and then just

903
01:31:27,600 --> 01:31:33,280
turaco instead of being like no i mean she's sometimes this but rarely is like she rarely is a proactive

904
01:31:33,280 --> 01:31:42,800
person in those situations like she is not a she's not a chaos catalyst like uh like no kutan is or

905
01:31:42,800 --> 01:31:47,840
her sisters or whatever but mostly no kutan is the catalyst for all the shit happening a shit

906
01:31:47,840 --> 01:31:53,440
happening and then just turaco is standing by the sidelines just like the viewer and it's like

907
01:31:53,440 --> 01:32:01,200
what and i would have wanted her maybe to be more of a part in that in certain aspects than she is

908
01:32:01,200 --> 01:32:07,440
because she's just commenting on it and then she's doing that for 12 episodes so it's like uh okay

909
01:32:07,440 --> 01:32:14,480
monga the manga is still ongoing so maybe that changes the song i don't know how much more

910
01:32:14,480 --> 01:32:21,040
variation they can throw in there yeah i mean either and i wonder it felt like the show was aware

911
01:32:21,040 --> 01:32:26,240
by the end that this probably was just a one-time thing and we're not gonna get more of that maybe

912
01:32:26,240 --> 01:32:34,800
but also who knows get it's which isn't big into continuations and just like to do a lot of one of

913
01:32:34,800 --> 01:32:40,240
things but also they have done second seasons again they have done second season of ranking with uh

914
01:32:40,240 --> 01:32:45,040
of kings and i think they do inspire family with together with global works and that has multiple

915
01:32:45,040 --> 01:32:53,760
seasons i think so there's that but yeah i i i just the one that worked the best for me were just a lot

916
01:32:53,760 --> 01:33:00,880
of the of the jokes that were not necessarily related to what the main thing that the show does i

917
01:33:00,880 --> 01:33:05,840
mean i like the reference humor and the likes of the outrageous things happening but i wasn't like

918
01:33:05,840 --> 01:33:11,120
so crazy about this torako being the straight man and reacting to everything with oh my god what

919
01:33:11,120 --> 01:33:16,400
is happening here because that is my reaction already i don't need another character to ape my

920
01:33:16,400 --> 01:33:22,880
reaction to this so i wanted something more from her character i guess but also maybe in a world

921
01:33:22,880 --> 01:33:28,720
where so much nonsense happens you needs a character like that who is the anchor of reality in this

922
01:33:28,720 --> 01:33:35,200
and tells you as the viewer that what you're seeing is not normal by any means otherwise you might lose

923
01:33:35,200 --> 01:33:38,640
your mind when you watch something like that i don't know i feel like i'm grounded enough for in

924
01:33:38,640 --> 01:33:42,160
rean and actually that i'm well aware that all of that shit that is evident in this show is

925
01:33:42,160 --> 01:33:47,520
absolute nonsense and or most of it anyway i mean if i was in a situation as you were where one of the

926
01:33:47,520 --> 01:33:53,200
characters was voiced but in a different in a different show and doing a completely different i might

927
01:33:53,200 --> 01:34:01,600
lose my mind more quickly but on that i don't think i'm at risk of that happening so yeah that's

928
01:34:01,600 --> 01:34:09,360
it's a small thing that of criticism and in how much you can criticize a show like that either the

929
01:34:09,360 --> 01:34:14,960
the comedy works for you and it doesn't and that is the base thing here like if you watch the first

930
01:34:14,960 --> 01:34:19,680
episode and you see what you see there and you're like hey i find this funny then you will probably

931
01:34:19,680 --> 01:34:25,440
like the rest of the show and find at least one thing in every episode that you find funny doesn't

932
01:34:25,440 --> 01:34:32,000
necessarily have to be the big main thing that is happening so okotan does not sense koshdan reacts

933
01:34:32,000 --> 01:34:37,360
loudly to it it doesn't have to be that it could just be like a small reference that is thrown

934
01:34:37,360 --> 01:34:42,640
there that you find funny because it tickles your funny bone or the one comment i mentioned

935
01:34:42,640 --> 01:34:52,080
early of that one guy who is apparently really into syscon ury whatever or you know then there was this

936
01:34:52,080 --> 01:34:59,600
small little small joke by the end where no koshdan is saved by one of the two gyaru girls of the

937
01:34:59,600 --> 01:35:06,960
school and then narratives like hey this this proves the case of the dear friendly gyaru qe d

938
01:35:09,760 --> 01:35:17,200
so stupid was that was that even was a really contention there like where someone argue that these

939
01:35:17,200 --> 01:35:22,640
that that that that dear friendly gyaru don't exist it's just it doesn't matter it was just funny

940
01:35:22,640 --> 01:35:28,320
to me personally might not be funny to you but maybe you find something in there and i feel like

941
01:35:28,320 --> 01:35:34,320
the first episode already gives you enough of a flavor of all of these kind of jokes jokes that you

942
01:35:34,320 --> 01:35:38,240
find in later episodes that the rest of the show will make you laugh of the first episode

943
01:35:39,120 --> 01:35:42,320
that i feel like that is the wreck best recommendation i could give for this

944
01:35:42,320 --> 01:35:51,280
john i don't know about you i i mean i can't watch goofy stuff like super goofy stuff like this all the time

945
01:35:51,280 --> 01:36:00,320
but i feel like airspin enough space between this and pop team that back that i was like yeah you know

946
01:36:00,320 --> 01:36:06,480
i'm willing to throw myself at this and just turn off brain

947
01:36:08,080 --> 01:36:16,240
oh doom dumb thing on screen haha yeah so that that's the mentality i'm going to do it with was this

948
01:36:16,240 --> 01:36:26,240
a good show maybe was it but was it also a bad show no no no i think this was

949
01:36:26,240 --> 01:36:32,480
it was a show it was it was what it wanted to be yes so one of the shows

950
01:36:33,280 --> 01:36:40,000
i'm willing to give this show a pass on that but i also don't think i also wouldn't go out and say

951
01:36:40,000 --> 01:36:45,760
dude this is essential viewing right no i don't think that by any stretch of the imagination i think

952
01:36:45,760 --> 01:36:54,160
this is a fun you'll watch it you're done cool this is silly i had fun yes and i i doubt everything in

953
01:36:54,160 --> 01:37:01,840
the show will like this a person where everything in this works show works for you but a lot of small

954
01:37:01,840 --> 01:37:10,080
bits and pieces in in in their might might work for you this is the opposite of the show is bigger

955
01:37:10,080 --> 01:37:15,360
than the sum of its parts because i think some of the parts of it are more interesting that whatever

956
01:37:15,360 --> 01:37:23,920
comes together at the end maybe it's hard to hard to put that into words but it's like hey there's

957
01:37:23,920 --> 01:37:30,240
enough interesting bits and pieces here and there that are that are good but maybe not the entire

958
01:37:30,240 --> 01:37:38,080
thing because you know the entire thing you know does it do like it's not it's not an aqba made war for

959
01:37:38,080 --> 01:37:44,400
example that's a comedy anime that we both loved and that had so many different aspects to it that

960
01:37:44,400 --> 01:37:50,480
worked and it had a plot progression it had fantastic characters it had incredibly funny jokes

961
01:37:50,480 --> 01:38:00,000
as super witty zany and sharp as the sharpest knife humor and was a fucking great parody of a lot of

962
01:38:00,000 --> 01:38:08,480
things and in a lot of ways i can also say that all about bang brave bang braver and you know that

963
01:38:08,480 --> 01:38:15,680
no cotan is not that no cotan is something that you can watch one episode of probably after

964
01:38:15,680 --> 01:38:20,720
you get home from work and you laugh at some of the stuff not all of it probably and it's really just

965
01:38:20,720 --> 01:38:27,680
turn your brain off because this is because it's so stupid and it's just off kilter non-sequitur

966
01:38:27,680 --> 01:38:32,160
humor and some of the stuff you will probably funny maybe not find funny but maybe not all of it

967
01:38:32,160 --> 01:38:39,920
and that's it and weird weird shit weird shit like this is an episode where no cotan makes

968
01:38:39,920 --> 01:38:46,640
enables world peace peace you to making peace with the grisly for the sake of america and

969
01:38:46,640 --> 01:38:50,480
is the grisly supposed to be put in i don't fucking know

970
01:38:55,280 --> 01:38:59,920
it's just sometimes the show just was very intent on trying to break my brain i don't think it's

971
01:38:59,920 --> 01:39:08,880
succeeded but did it get close it get close so all i can really we all i really really know now i think

972
01:39:08,880 --> 01:39:16,000
that the show tried to convey to me and i that might be true uh is that deer crackers are probably

973
01:39:16,000 --> 01:39:24,720
delicious to deer and i'm pretty sure that that is true and yeah nothing nothing else uh

974
01:39:24,720 --> 01:39:30,800
is really confirmed or denied by the show so if you want answers if the first episode has you

975
01:39:30,800 --> 01:39:35,840
clamoring for answers to anything like it's like oh my god what is actually going on you won't get any

976
01:39:35,840 --> 01:39:42,880
answers nothing so don't expect that but if you had a good time that's for one reason or another

977
01:39:42,880 --> 01:39:49,360
and you can get more of this nonsense i feel like uh that's uh you can you could keep on watching

978
01:39:49,360 --> 01:39:52,880
this and have a good time with 12 episodes the john wakid people watch this

979
01:39:53,680 --> 01:39:58,400
uh they can watch it on crunchy roll and they can watch it on amazon as well

980
01:39:58,400 --> 01:40:07,120
no interesting so before we go out i just had to look up what is in deer crackers in apparently

981
01:40:07,120 --> 01:40:16,000
it's just race brand wheat and water so enjoy eating your race crackers everyone apparently they're

982
01:40:16,000 --> 01:40:22,800
just very full of fiber they'll help you go i mean one of the characters mentions that they

983
01:40:22,800 --> 01:40:30,000
immediately have a super dry mouth when they ate it right so that fits last thought is it shows a

984
01:40:30,000 --> 01:40:38,080
goof fest but if you want something that is a quick in a quick watch goof fest that requires zero

985
01:40:38,080 --> 01:40:54,880
thought uh it's just got you covered notes

986
01:40:54,880 --> 01:41:00,640
