What are you talking about? I guess it's important to hear what they say.
Webers around night and day, and now that you listen to the rand
Cafe, Yo, what's up, everybodys tanamac Here from anime opera Rock up
to another episode of the Rank of Anime Podcast. Today, I'm back with
my host Truck and Briggs. However, Truck is in desperate need of some
service. She is not feeling well, but she still decided to come onto
the podcast because you know, the show must come on, so we respect
that. I hope you feel better soon, Truck, John, thank you.
She's got a bit of enigma. I do. I do have a
little bit of enigma still here. Well, you still sound cute even with
Ligma. She's like a conflict here. Oh my god, House Recon is
back. Don't forget his picture on the damn screen and Recon his back.
We're gonna because we just said last time we would talk about some free're in
and and you know what else is going on this season and that type of
stuff, and Recon is the one who watches everything and he also you know,
in case Truck can't talk too much because of her voice and everything.
Recon loves to talk too much, if anything, So you know, it's
perfect Recon. Welcome, welcome, Welcome. So the guys, the reason
I invited Ricon here today is we are gonna be talking about Free in a
little bit. And a couple of months ago, when Recon was recommending what
Nimey for us to watch and not to watch, he said, Free has
got a lot of hype, but he's like, he didn't really see why
it was so good. He's like, I'm not really attached to these characters.
I'm not really getting emotional like people are staying on Twitter. So I'm
like, if he doesn't like it, I mean that means I'm gonna love
it. So I had to watch it then and there I mean, yeah,
it's it can be given goal because sometimes Ricon as an opinion and the
opposite of his is the right opinion. But then other times he is kind
of right, kind of like you would you would expect him to like the
phony, but he doesn't. So you know, so there are there are
times when he has the right opinion. She's got a five percent margin of
bear. For the most part, I'd say yeah, for the most part,
I'd say whenever he likes I don't and vice versa. Correct Anyway,
I just want to say it's pretty cute that Anamac is nice to Truck when
she's sick, but then when she's normal, he's mean, Hey, Briggs
would be nice to you too, Pickle eating pineapple pizzai ISTI I don't even
know why why I said that. Have you guys been watching Rick and Morty
the new season? No, I've seen clips of it, but I haven't
watched the full episodes. I've I've heard the new I've heard the new voice
actor has been getting a lot of props for a really emotional scene that they've
been really liking him, just to really's replacement. Episode five is unbelievable,
And I think if you guys haven't been watching Brick and Morty and your Wrick
and Marty fans, you need to go and watch it because, don't get
me wrong, there's a lot of like amazing episodes, super funny one,
super whatever. Not even to get into it. This one is I'm gonna
describe it as being a very canon episode. Who's so excited I said that
because I've been I've been, like, I don't know, I think I
was very weary when I saw the previews of watching it just because of like
I was like, oh, it like doesn't sound the same, blah blah
blah. Like my ear like was it was like playing tricks on me kind
of thing. But I think I saw a clip it might have been from
episode five where very likely it was very like like Rick was so incredibly emotional
and like it was like there was just so many positive reviews about the new
season. I was like, Okay, I have to give it a shot.
Right after I even fell behind like the previous season. I hadn't watched
it or whatever or something, and then I kind of like when the whole
like controversy around the voice changing happened, I kind of fell off the train
of actually getting caught up before the new season. I should at some point,
but for that and for South Park, I need to get caught up.
I did end up watching the South Park Panderverst episode, but I haven't
been caught up on the seasons in a while, so that's something I need
to do. Yeah, I'd say it's worth it. Not every episode of
The Banger. I feel like I was more in love with Rick and Morty
for the first couple of seasons. Yeah, but yeah, like I loved
it when I just first discovered it, I was like, Yo, this
is crazy. Who's Rick and Morty? My god, I don't I don't
even want I don't want to entertain the Are we here to talk about the
shitty show you call Rick and Morty? Are we here to talk about proper
anime? Like you come on, come on, Rick and Morty's definitely I
don't know. Sometimes I think, honestly, you know what, it's been
a while. Yeah, yeah, No, Honestly, Ricon is something like
he's such an experience, like you can love and hate communicating with him within
the same thirty seconds. So Jim, Honestly, Ricon's like much like sord
Art online, He's both good and bad. Yeah, Like I think I
think a lot of people who stick around and listen to the Rank of It
regularly, I think they also kind of feel the same way as we do
about recon where it's like you don't want any around, but then when he's
not around for a while, you kind of miss him, you know,
I make things fun, come on, It's true, you sometimes do,
and then you make other things terrible. So it's like a trade off.
So real good. Do you still have a similar opinion on Freeran or have
you grown to like it. I wouldn't say I like it. I think
it's okay, but it's just mainly the same thing really, you know,
it's it's not really a plex or complicated series, but it's just a lot
of slice of life, a lot of backstories. It's it's mostly i'd say,
instead of story driven, it's mostly character driven rather than anything else with
you know, good world building like Mushako tense. It's got mostly all of
that. But I think it's it's it's pretty good. Yeah. I mean
I'm not like, oh my god, I'm like, I'm not like jumping
out of my chair all the time. But you know, it's just like
a chill day, you know, I'm just sitting there watching, Yeah,
you know how recon goes, Okay, Recon Fox with Evangelian and you know
it's a cozy hole the real stuff. Yeah, that's about it. I
don't give a ship. I didn't cry about the characters because I barely knew
them and even though they were giving up some you know backstories of freyer in
with the heroes party and you know, it's it's pretty nice. But other
than that, Yeah, what did you How did you like in Ergo Proxy
when they reference Discourse on Languages by Jean Jacques Rousseau. Did you think that
was a important moment for the story? Oh okay, no, and you
said you said Freeran was not complex enough, so I thought we would get
into some real discussions. All right. No, so my take, since
you brought up, explain it because I probably missed that part somewhere. We
will take a while to explain. He's talking about something entirely different, kind
of entirely different. Okay, Yeah, it's a different anime that has a
watch philosophy references Ergo Proxy, older anime. But now I understand actually why
people love fan because in the latest episode we got no no, no,
no, no, no, no no no. Me, I've only watched
three or four. I've watched four episodes. Oh okay, okay, never
mind. Yeah, we said we would watch the first few and then kind
of it. I definitely wasn't going to spoil anything right there, but I
was just going to say something. My take so far, I'm on the
fourth episode. My take is that it's like a chill anime that's interesting.
It's interesting. It's unique in the way that it takes it kind of the
climax has already happened, you know, the stuff you'd expect the series to
be about defeating the demon king. That's already happened. And now it's kind
of like what happens after, especially with someone who lives forever or forever but
for a very long time. And it's like, it's interesting, but it's
it's it's very relaxed in the sense that it's the kind of thing that I
can just listen to in the background dubbed while do making a thumb nail or
something. You know. That's what I feel like. So nice though,
Like I think it's relaxing. But at the same time, if I want
to relax, I'm gonna listen to a podcast on like Napoleon, right,
Like, I'm not gonna watch Freyran. But it is anyway. I do
think that it's chilling and nice and stuff. I don't have too many negative
things to say about it. But it's not like something that I'm like,
man, I can't wait for the next episode, bro, you know what
I mean exactly. I think that's quite fair. It's not like it's really
exciting series. But for me, I really do think it's a it's a
it was a beautiful anime to watch. It is a simple concept when it
comes to aging and the elf obviously aging a lot, a lot slower or
ten years to the elf being like no big deal or one hundred years being
no big deal, and then her companions being humans and seeing them age and
kind of leaving and coming back and their old men and dying. Do we
know? Do we know how long she actually lives in human years? She's
like over years, yeah, over thousands of years. She never changes pretty
much, she stays the same. So I agree with two hundred years a
thousand. Anyway, I just want to say I agree with ricon that it's
kind of a simple concept, but seeing like the human reactions and like the
the emotions involved and how it deals with that, I think it's far more
complex. And honestly, I think like between the music and how executed,
I think it was very music is really nice, very very nice, and
the world building something else that I would like to say. I think it's
very interesting to watch how she begins to like, even though she's very unchanging,
the companions that she makes she starts to make decisions differently because she does
have regrets exactly, and like she starts to like, uh, like like
time is a different construct for her because of her lifespan, and it's like,
you know, ten years is nothing, like a decade is nothing,
or you know five years is nothing. And like when it was like,
oh, well, we need to find these flowers, she goes, O,
how many years is that? Like, you know, there's all of
these different like like as she begins to like travel with her human companions,
as she's experienced regrets with her previous party, you know, she's now making
an effort to get to know her current companion. I think it's very very
sweet, very lighthearted. I love I love seeing you know, I love
that like she is, you know, making an effort to now change.
She's she's learning from her past, right, Like I'm sure she had a
lot of regrets with the think his name with the Himmel or something him the
heroes, the hero where they spent ten years together. They went on this
journey that I feared the demon king, and then she left for fifty years
and then when she comes back, he's old and passes away. And then
during when he's being buried, you see some beautiful emotional moment and even cry.
I don't know if I think I got emotional. I didn't. I
didn't. I didn't cry personally, but I thought it was well, we
just met the guy adopted. Yeah, exactly, that's what I'm saying.
We met the guy. I didn't really tear up or anything good, but
I will know it was good. It was good that they were able to
kind of show us, and it was impressive that they were able to show
us with freerand so quickly. That normally she's not emotional at all, because
you know, she lives a long time and she doesn't get attached that much.
But with that scene, it did show that contrast where she actually did
get emotional and we knew it was not something that happens often with her.
Yeah, not just because the death of her friend, it's also the regret
of, like I did, I barely even like knew him, Like I
didn't get to know him as much as I would have liked. There was
so much more time she could have spent getting to know this guy and spending
time with him, but because of her concept of time, she just left
for fifty years and came back, you know, yep, the same thing.
Like and when she's going back and visiting the old companions too, like
you know, she goes to visit the dwarf I forgot his name, but
like the dwarf that has like the helmet and the big beard. He's like,
well, it's only been thirty years. Yeah, and she's like,
now, what what do you mean? Structure wise? Maybe I don't know,
but I feel like if they, like so after Himmel dies, obviously
they're going to show a bunch of backstory stuff, like with how Freeran spends
time with the party and what they do. But I was like, maybe
wondering maybe if they showed that all before he died, Okay, maybe there
is gonna be you know, more emotion, but I think that maybe die
too quick in the first episode. I don't know. I feel like I
don't know if all of that in the beginning would have been like I mean,
yeah, it could have been like a prequel or something, but like,
I don't know how they would have done that without making the episodes like
forty five minutes at least. Yeah, So I think what Ricon's saying is
like, what if they spent three episodes on like the end of this journey,
like kind of like getting some items, training a little bit, defeating
the Demon King, having the party, watching the meteor shower, like yeah,
kind of transitioning into it a little bit more like the story the first
five episodes for sorry, four episodes altogether in one go. So maybe it
was needed. I don't know. Yeah, yeah, I know what you
mean, Like you're saying, if we got to see kind of the ending
of that journey, we would have there would have been time to show us
the characters and how attached they are to each other, and we would get
attached to them more so then yea. When so kind of like kind of
like if they did with Oceano Cole where we get attached to I, right,
and then she's taken away and then and then you're like, oh yeah,
exactly like guys in the end. But in the beginning, she gets
some good character development and we feel towards her and we're like, oh,
she's so lovely, and when she dies, we're like no, no.
When Himmel died, I'm like, who was this guy? You know?
And I mean it's also like, you know, he lived a long life
and died of old age, and in that sense, it's like it's sad
in a general sense, but you know still, you know, it's not
a tragedy, it's just life. Yeah. So a lot of people are
saying they literally show flashbacks of the party throughout this season, and what recon
is trying to stay here, guys, is the flashbacks happen after the death
already after their flashback flashbacks. We're saying maybe the death and the emotions fear
and felt, and the emotions the viewer would feel would be more if they
started off with a little bit more context from their journey, a little bit
more of that backstory, show the death, and then do more backstories later,
just a little bit more. I I kind of agree with that,
But at the same time, for me, for me, like I feel
like this is this is a post journey and it's being executed well in that
regard, like I still felt emotion, I felt emotions in in both in
both circumstances are like in the in what I've watched so far, I really
like the old guy and his like kind of trick to make to make fear
and disciples decipher some book, even though he knew the results, just so
she'd spend more time there. And oh yeah, the priest. That was
that moment. I loved the priest. Did the corrupt priest? Yes,
that he would teach the young age? And that kind of tricked her.
I loved it. I thought it was so sweet. Someone said something in
chat and I just had to read that because it made me chuckle. I
need to find it. It was somewhere up here. So if you gave
fear in herpes, would it be immortal herpies? Why chat chat chat,
Like, I'm having to see the conversation. I issue that in the corner
of my eye. I know I saw the same thing. I'm like,
what the fuck Texas, you little shaw don't don't you know that in fantasy
worlds, you don't have any such things as herpies? You never know one
thing that I would have liked, like, I don't know if they do
this later, but I would have liked to actually have the magic system be
explained a bit more, and and you know the kind of the rules and
limitations because I've been reading. I've been reading more like fantasy novels, and
often the good ones will have like a power system and limitations and and things
like that which make it interesting, whereas here the magic seems yeah, like
the magic seems to just kind of, oh it's magic. Oh I cleaned
the statue with magic, you know, how does the magic work? It
definitely does seem like grim Warren's spell based, but it also seems like you
can do it kind of freehand, like without the need of that. Yeah
exactly. I feel like it's just kind of like part Yeah, it's I
feel like it's very simple, basic fantasy style magic without like because it's like
it's important to the story and it's important to the world, but it's like
not so much that they have to like go in and explain the deep powers
of it, like the deep explanations of it. Besides, like I think
the most we see of it is like, you know, the the like
you know, Freeer taking on an apprentice. Yes, and they're kind of
teaching her a bit, but again a little bit, but it's like,
yeah, exactly, so I don't think, like, I don't think it's
necessarily like I don't think that's the importance of that. Uh, it does,
like it can explain a little bit more of the world, but I
feel like, again, This is more of like, like, the characters
make the world. It's the character driven story for yeah, and I just
a little hold on, hold on, just just finish off on this topic.
You're right, it's definitely not focused on the magics, focused on characters.
But like I just found myself thinking about it while I was watching.
It's kind of like, oh, so, how does this work? You
know, what are you know, what are the restrictions? That kind of
stuff? Right, Yeah, I think a couple extra details would be would
be cool to help the world building along because it definitely the character driven story
and I've come to like the characters. I think they've succeeded in that regard.
But a couple of little details, okay, I could help improve it.
Yeah, uh, recon what were you going to say? I was
about to say if you guys didn't know, freer In is still number one
rank on my anime list. It's been there for quite some time. The
Full Metal Alchemist community is fuming. They're so angry. I did not know
it was ranked number one. It's been right number one for a good amount
of time now. Recency biased is recently bias is the thing with that was
just ridiculous, Like if Rerean is not the best animal of all time,
but it definitely doesn't deserve number one. A hell no, Yeah, I
think it quite good, but not number one. I'd give it like so
far, it's like an eight point like three out of ten or something.
I give it, But in for now, is that really high? I
don't. I don't even know. It's the the fm A community is slack,
and normally they would have let that happen. Yeah, they would have
review bombed, but they seem to be like, I mean, chilled out
a little bit after certain experiences. Honestly, sometimes you deserve to give review
bombed and saying freer In is the best animate of all time, that's a
that's a deserved review bomb. I think no, But I think any I
think extremes when something is number one, if everyone starts going and giving it
one stars, I wouldn't even allow those. If I was like the website
owner, no one's gonna watch fear In and be like this is a number
one, and if it's like a five percent, people that do it,
okay. But if out of nowhere, like the Day gets ranked number one,
you get like a thousand, like one out of ten stars. It's
like I wouldn't even allow those votes, Like I'm not I'm not even the
guy that's like, oh, full Monoculous has to be number one. I'm
just saying that it Freeran is not number one, Like come on, like,
how many anime can you name? It's just recency, it is.
It's just like there are so many anime that I that have taken that number
one spot, like undeservingly. Undeservingly it eventually works itself back down like into
where it does. It's just it's just because it's it's out, it's airing,
and it's what's popular right now. Yeah, but I just wish people
would go and be like, oh, let me give this an accurate rating
to naturally bring it down. Let me go and give it a seven out
of ten, and it'll slowly come down to where it belongs. You know,
thing is people people, and like also, the show hasn't ended,
so like of course, you know people are going to go in as it's
airing and then rate it something differently than they probably would with it, you
know, with a finished product. Yeah, but you know, some some
asshole out there is like is better then Vinland Saga and then you know,
then you know that gatekeeping is necessary. Reminded me amac actually because I saw
on Twitter on my timeline that someone tweeted, oh, enough time has passed.
JJK is better than Vinland Saga, and I'm like what, So I
started to tweet out myself, but you're telling me they're so different. I
know they're so different, but so I tweeted out to him. So you're
telling me that an anime that is based completely on fighting and action is better
than the most the greatest story driven, character driven anime of all time.
I don't think so. I mean something on fighting in action could be deep
and could be perfect in so many regards. I just think JKK is not
nearly as good as Villain Saga. And while they're entirely different, that's it.
It's ridiculous how you can watch both series and be like, JJK is
so much better. No, it's not, no way, I completely disagree
if some but he says jj is better than I remember in the chat that
said you say this recom but your number two is SAO. That's true.
At least at least he admits that Vinland Saga is better than Sao guys.
So that it's character development, dude. That's how good Villain Saga is.
Vilain is such a beautiful masterpiece. And even Recon's like, oh my god,
I've been so biased towards Sao for a decade. It's been my favorite
no matter what, but Villain Saga still beats it. That's people that say
the season two is bad. It was not bad at all, bro,
What do you mean? Like there was some masterpiece moments, like actual,
Like I remember tweeting about the moment with the slave lady and her husband when
when he like when they go off into kind of the the sunset, you
know, bro, Like that is a masterpiece. That scene is a fucking
master piece period. Like obviously there's more stuff there, but like that,
most animal will never ever achieve just the power of that moment. Bro.
It's just amazing, dude, amazing dude. So let's talk about something that's
not amazing. Have you guys been watching one hundred girlfriends? You bet your
ass I have? What do you mean it's not amazing? Briggs? Are
are you kidding me? Briggs? You say it's bad. It's amazing girlfriends
that really really really love you. Girlfriends is number one anime three better than
watched one episode? So funny, It's so bad and so funny. I
want to hear you. I want to I want to hear your I want
to hear what Briggs has to say. I want to say I only watched
one episode and I will only watch a second or third episode if I am
paid to do it. I will not willingly do it. Oh God,
I'm waiting for someone in chat to recommend it. Yeah, yes, or
for like an anime version or something like. I will not do that ship
for free because it was the cringiest, worst thing I've ever watched in my
life. I couldn't even look at the screen. It was Bring me on
anime for that one. I will fucking join you for that. I'll get,
I'll get, I'll get the other like hairm enjoyer friend of ours,
that one high school DxD and all that stuff you like DxD, right,
you didn't mind I enjoyed High School X. I think it actually had a
lot of good things going for it. I'm gonna tell you here right now,
one hundred girlfriends might be better than DxD. Not even kidding what,
but why? Because I just saw Ryan Reynolds more tadly than east a better
girls, better Boba, better everything. So what basically Recon's thing, and
I do kind of agree with this recons thing is like if the guy gets
hit on by a bunch of girls, but he keep saying because it's a
bitch, that's not as good as a guy who's actually like, yeah,
sure you can suck my dick. It's okay, bro. The thing is
like, I mean, I agree with that, but it's so hard to
make sure that everybody has a piece equal time. He wants to split himself
up equally because he knows that if he doesn't, they will die. It's
an anime, it's the concept, but I love it. It's it's like,
to be honest, it's just prime entertainment. It's so it's so entertaining
to me. That is the most animate concept of a concept. Like,
I don't understand why this is not a Handti episode. Do you understand?
Do you understand? It is like the perfect handt I set up, because
you can't get mad at the guy for being with all these girls because he's
doing it for their own good, right, So it's like the perfect cant
I setup. I don't understand why they would not make it a hand time.
Remember when I said that with the worst anime I've ever watched, I
think a hundred Girlfriends is like the second worst, because I feel like Smartphone
was this bad. This was hard to watch. It was a different type
of bad, you know, like it physically was painful. It was physically
painful to get through the episode for me, genuinely, and I haven't felt
that towards an anime in a long time. I watched it bad. What
didn't you like about it? Cringe? I guess, dude, you know
how cringe it is to have a dude his entire life get rejected one hundred
times and then God be like, now everyone will love you. And then
he does nothing and now everyone loves him. Like, yes, maybe his
interactions after they love him are like kind of wholesome, but like it's so
funny the level of cringe and sadness that like I felt watching it. That's
what Chad. He kept going, he kept believing, and then it happened.
Happens too much even no offense. If you love if you like this
anime, you're a loser, like you if you if you were liked forgative
did I'm sorry, sorry, I love it, Like, how can you
watch a dude get rejected one hundred times? Change nothing, adapt in zero
waves? God be like, here you can have it. Here's a handout.
The thing is, we don't watch him do it a hundred times.
We just watched the one hundredth time. But it was explained they showed him
as a kid. They showed him as they showed the first time and the
last time. If they would have showed the would have gone. If they
showed that, he would have gotten rejected hundred times. Okay, that might
be cringe, but they just showed the last thing, so that's absolutely fine.
But we don't have to still there the concept. It's there, but
we don't get I think the author need to touch them grass. It's honestly,
I just think it's like it's just cringey satire. It's funny, like
it's very very cringe. It's it's one of those things where it's like so
unrealistic, like and they also took like, I don't know, for whatever
reason, did anybody watch Hotel Transylvania. Y'all remember the concept of zing.
It's that but a hundred times whenever they meet whenever they meet their eyes do
that thing and then it's like boom, they zing, and it's like,
oh, ship, that's a soulmate. Nothing bothers me more than when a
woman in an anime just immediately falls in love with someone. I think that's
one of my favorite. It's the pet peeve when like the homies walking down
the hallway and from one end to the other, two girls are all over
him for no reason. Well that that hasn't been your experience, because it
has been mine. I also love how he's been has He's like, hey,
guys, is my new girlfriend? Or hey guys, check out my
new girlfriend, and the others don't mind at all. Yeah, that's totally
realistic too. And dude, it's just the women are notoriously not jealous.
The only if I could thing I could give is while there were so many
cringe interactions, there were a couple holesome ones that tried to pull me back
in. That's the only positive I could think of. But you can't because
it's you can't relate to a hundred, like one hundred girls right like chemistry
girl is best. You can't. You can't bring out those characters a older
characters at once to make them care about them. You can never make you
care about so many people, and then having them all, you know,
throw themselves at this one guy, You're just kind of like, bro,
it's just so unrealistic. It's also really funny that, like each girl is
a stereotype in anime, like they immediately bring out the one that's kind of
a freak and also this Soon Today in the same episode, Like those are
the first two that you meet. You get the one that's an absolute closeted
freak but tries to be cute, and the end the Soon Today immediately off
the bat, it's great. There there's been some people that say, girl
Friends, I guess it's like a parody of trust, so stupid. Absolutely,
I don't even find it funny. I just find it if it's a
parody, it has to be funny. If you find if it's so close
to the intention of it, or like the thing it's parodying that you're like
cringing because it's it's just feels like the thing it's parodying, then it's not
really a good I also feel like if you can't if you don't like trashy
and you don't find that entertaining. Then you're not going to find a hundred
girlfriends entertaining because it's that multiplied by like it's not it's not like but it's
a it's a slice of life comedy. I just got reminded of that one
episode when you drank that potion. Stop. I'm not even gonna say anything,
but breaks it. Stop that stop, don't don't don't speak, don't
speak. Okay, here's a here's an example. Clearly Interspecies Reviewers is a
parody. But that's a that's a well written parody. Yeah, and that
it's basically a hand tie, and it knows it's basically a hand tie,
and it's it's it's very self aware. Yeah, and I mean in that
sense, I feel like it's it works. But I haven't seen this girlfriend
one because I didn't even know it was a parody. I thought it was
just like I had another anime. I haven't watched enough episodes to be fair,
I just can't break myself, like I'm this is nothing other than the
fact that I talk about anime for like a living, Like other than doing
rank and podcast and stuff. There's nothing in me that wants to watch this
at all. Right, And I know. Yeah, so if you could
get find a way to get paid for it by your fans want to torture
you. Yeah, we do. We do recommendations on my like when I
do watch parties and stuff, or if someone could just give like two subs
or three subs and I'll watch three episodes or something or one episode or something
whatever. God please, I'm begging breaks his chat this listening to this.
The winner gets to pick what anime the other. This is the one time
that I will willingly, I will I will agree willingly to be on an
episode of anime urging with Recon. This is the one time that I will
agree with racon is. You should watch it because it's so bad and it's
so funny. There's just zero percent chance you will ever girlfriendss Recon. You
realize I could just I can just give you my queen and you won't beat
me. Briggs. I A, I know, I know I won't be
You're just too good. I'm I'm not even good at chess. You just
I'm not even the prince of chess. Normal. Also, yo, I'm
on like a three wins break against goes in right now. Hell yeah,
he would destroy me all the time. I don't know if I got better
he got worse. But I've been kind of going like I feel like,
out of like the last five game that he played, I've won. I
got I gotta call him up because he hasn't been bragging about losing, that's
for sure. Usually if he wins, he'll be like, oh, yeah,
i'd be Briggs today, Bro, I missed goes in. Normally he
beats me, but one goes in the actual go you listen, Briggs.
I have an idea for you. People pay for you to watch a hundred
girlfriends with your mom and dad live. Dude, they'd have to pay like
fifty grand Yeah, no, I wouldn't. I would not. I wouldn't
involve the parents in this one. You have to involve the parents. To
your parents, don't think they lose all respects for me. Don't involve the
parents as as somebody from an Italian household. Don't do that. He was
like, so, you said you had an online business and this is what
you've been doing. I pay you to watch stuff like this. That's kind
of crazy. You know what. Full mettal Oclimist is the best anim of
all time. It deserves it. Spotted about I just realized I have tried
to make my dad watch so many anime. The only anime he finished with
Full Metal Alchemists. Damn take that in like he drew. He dropped so
many animes that I think are like fire like death no to other shows like
he just like but he I'll remember forget while three three episodes of Full Metal
Alchemists with my dad coming home from school and be like, hey, do
you want to watch some more finished? I want to? Didn't you have
to work today? Would watching while working? Make your dad watch the live
action death note? And he's stop, listen, stop recon you're ruining a
good moment here brought up because yeah, that is how good FILMD Alchemist is
and it's not that long. It's like sixty episodes, and yeah, yeah,
that's a great example of how great the Enemy is. It's both funny
and mature and and you know at the same time, and yeah, that's
a great I had a very I had a very similar death but I had
a very similar wholesome moment to Briggs where I watched one episode of the one
one piece live action with my dad come downstairs the next morning, well afternoon,
and my dad was like, I had to go back, and he
was on the last episode because he fell asleep during it. He was like,
I have to watch it, and then immediately afterwards he started the anim
that's amazing. Oh my god, your dad watching. My dad watches One
Piece my mom. My mom also watched, like with goes In. I
don't think she's gonna go into the anime, but she watched the live action
and she loved it and she loved me Hawk. Yeah. Yeah, she's
like, my mom thinks howks hot tell my mom, but she's not wrong.
Taste your mom's got one taste. Anime sucks balls live action better.
Conrie Kan, we don't own him. We don't claim this one. Yeah,
like and I claim it and I we even like we're even like we
stand the live action, which is not something that we of one, not
something that we would usually say for any live action adaptation, but like,
come on, like, you can't just this this the original, although I
mean the mong I prefer to the animate, but the animal does stick close
to the moment. Absolutely, it just takes forever sometimes, you know.
I'm very I'm also excited for season two because we're gonna meet Dragon there's gonna
be a lot of there's gonna be a lot it's gonna it's gonna be so
fun. I'm really excited to see what they do with it. We're gonna
meet that little hamster whatever his name is, hopefully, I do wonder are
you talking about Chopper? Is that his name? I think so. Yeah,
he's a reindeer. You first, he's a fucking hamster, you asshole.
Then I only watched fifty fucking episodes. Man, watch the live action.
You can watch the live action, say you enjoyed it. Watch anime.
It's not like you don't watch anime and then be like I don't want
to watch more of this anime. Like I understand if you're like Animax mom
where she doesn't watch it, but she liked the live action. Like some
people will stay like yeah, live action only, But if you watch anime,
I just don't understand how you could be like I don't want to know
more. Yeah, it's so it's so weird. Do you watch so many
worse anime? You're watching a hundred girlfriends right now. It's amazing, and
I don't regret a single minute. Well, I think you are a special
man. We're gonna it's the cafe MILFs are down for more op l A.
Then we're in great times. Oh my god, Sam, I want
to pin that comment. That's so funny, funny. But yeah, so
I'm I do I do worry a bit that season two is going to stick
too closely to the whole Garp and Kobe stuff because I feel like after that
we really go heavy into the straw hats and I don't think we need equal
freaking coverage. I don't think we need equal coverage, but I think that
having it as like a little bit of a side piece is not bad,
like actually, because I feel like we didn't really I don't know. I
just like, I like, for me, I just remember fucking Kobe and
Helmep are going poof and then all of a sudden they here. Yeah that's
what I'm saying episodes later. So I'm like, I feel like I think
it's gonna be mainly focused on them actually getting to the grand line and everything
like that, and like, bo that whole is this is my worry.
Uh. In the first season, they kind of interjected them way more into
the story so that it makes sense for them to get so much focus,
So you know, they end up in them, or that weren't really but
part they end up there and stuff. So are they gonna do enough with
everything? So every single place that they go, freaking Garb is there with
Kobe, and I don't think that's I don't think it's going to be every
place that they go to. But I think because it's like the you know,
the first couple of seasons, I think them getting like appearing is I
don't necessarily a bad thing, or them like flashing back to the training to
watch the chadformation. I don't think that that's going to be a bad thing.
If they have a couple of segments here and there, I think we
might see some training and some small stuff. But the whole reason they added
the whole Garb and Kobe thing is they want a constant like threats, like
a constant chase. Like I understand that Garb wasn't really trying to catch Loofy
and arrest him, but for an anime live action only or live action only
for the first couple episodes, that is what you think. So rather than
just the Loofy and the straw Hats going on an adventure and fighting pirates like
Buggy and arlong. They wanted like an ongoing like threat threats an admiral like
Garb and Kobe, someone that Loofy met in the first episode. I thought
it actually made sense. And what I think is going to replace it going
on into Drum Island and the Ali Bastasauga is going to be Smoker, like
they tease Smoker at the end. Yeah, and we know that Smoker follows
Loofy into the ground line in the anime, So I think that's what they're
gonna do, Like the ongoing threat is going to be Smoker instead of Garb
and Kobe at this point. Yeah, that would be good because you don't
need both of them. You don't need Garb there and Smoker in terms of
marines, right, do we meet Boa in the in the next season or
is that until later? So? What new? So what new characters are
we gonna get? But I mean, you could they could introduce Boll just
kind of like at a at a warlord meeting or something, just kind of
So what kind of characters would we expect to see in season two besides the
little Hamster? You're gonna yember Maybe I won't spoil I guess, but you're
gonna gonna beet Robin. You're gonna be Smoker, gonna be Chopper. Doctor.
We're gonna get We're gonna get Texas Robin bro with the cowboy hat.
Everyone is man. I'm still I'm still praying for Jamie Lee Curtis to be
Doctor Ku. That would actually be so sick. That is the one like,
that is the one, like like major celebrity, like like Hollywood person
that I would genuinely want to be in there because she's genuinely passionate about and
loves anime, loves One Piece, like her daughter's a YouTuber like uh,
and like she supports like a lot of the nerd culture and loves anime and
is passionate about the show and loves One Piece. So I've feel like that
would be so sick to actually have somebody that is in the field who's a
well known name. I don't know her personal actress, but that's cool to
know. I didn't know if she was she already confirmed. I don't know.
The last thing that I saw was she was like, if they if
they land because the sag like it was it was the sag strike, the
Writer's strike, and they're like, if they can get a reasonable deal,
which they did for the Writer's Guild, then she would uh be like putting
out her like putting her feelers out to be like, hey, I want
to audition for this role kind of thing. Mm hmmm. So but at
the end of the day, the one thing that I feel like we can
all trust and like put our hopes in is Oda having his hand on every
aspect of season two like he did with season one. I hope so,
because Yai is a great actor. But what about Light Turner? I think
you are shot Okay, Loki, that was funny. I didn't think you're
going very good. Oh my good. Yeah, we're all Honestly, it's
good because you literally cannot you cannot butcher One Piece by turning it into a
light turner thing because it's so different than the modern world that you can't try
to just turn it into a high school kind of thing. So I feel
like that was its advantage. It's like, we gotta go full crazy like
One Piece is because of the world it's in, whereas with Death not they
were like, oh, you know, this is a high school, but
in Japan it was just making it too high school in the West and Mesa
is a cheerleader and her name is Mina and it's light Turner. I hated
that ship so much, so bad. Pretty cool. We're gonna get bon
Clay, are we in the second? Yeah? He's is he Mister two
and mister three? Yeah. I guess it all depends how much time they
spend on all the different ones, because you know they teased baroque works in
season one they did yeah probably Yeah, Number seven got killed. Yeah,
and he was black the actor and they were like soorro damn bro before like
Zorrow, you're not beating the allegation Zora, Oh my god. Yeah.
I think they're gonna cover all of the alabasasaga. Personally, I feel them,
Yeah, I feel I feel Alabasta being pretty pretty heavily focused. Well,
hopefully they get like ten or twelve episodes instead of eight this season.
Yeah, hopefully they get ten. Should be a minimum, man, like
why not ten? Like if you don't got to do a do ten?
Yeah. They covered quite a bit in the first part, right, Like
they went through the backstories, like the uh the intro with Kobe and zoro
At with Acten Morgan. I can't remember the fucking Island's name, but then
you move to or and you get the Brontier and our long part. They
covered a decent chunk. Yeah, so I don't think it's too far fetched
to think that they're gonna cover like Logtown and Reverse Mountain in one episode.
Oh yeah, get like you get like Drum Island, And they could even
skip Little Garden if they really wanted to. Even though we get the mister
Prince moment, which is sick, right, they could do it in a
different way and maybe they could incorporate that into Drum Island. I don't know,
And then you get Alabasta. Yeah, I was gonna say they do.
They They did a very good job at like the stuff that they couldn't
necessarily cover separately, they blended together very well exactly, you know, like
it was like the weirdest thing to see arlong and uh and fucking Bronti.
I was like, what the fuck are you doing here? But I think
for the way that the live action like this, the like how it was
progressing, I think it made like it made sense for the live action itself.
And like you said, I hope they get more time because I do
feel like while they made make it they made it make sense and it was
still good bart and Arlam Park. Maybe it maybe suffered a little bit because
of their rushed exactly like they wanted to cover the East Blue, they wanted
to cover up the Arlong Park for people's introduction into one piece. So I
get why they did it. But with only eight episodes, things had to
be cut and things had to be rushed, right if they had ten,
Yeah, Arlong probably would never have stepped foot in the Bratier. We could
have got the fight, could have been made more. The fight could have
yeah, they could have. They could have spent a little bit more time
on the park. This is this is too much one piece for me.
Let's let's switch it up. Let's talk about the man listen, Let's let's
say the death no live action, Let's talk about the cowboys. That is
the end of the podcast. I gotta go and thank you for I think
it's a good time to end it, guys, because we are just getting
