1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:02,879
Speaker 1: What is up, ladies and gentlemen, Welcome back to the

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,879
Rand Cafe. That's right, I'm your host, Anime Recon, and

3
00:00:05,919 --> 00:00:10,599
today we are doing once again an anime bracket, this

4
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:14,160
time featuring my shows that I've recommended to the boys.

5
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,239
Right here with me, I've got, of course, the host,

6
00:00:17,559 --> 00:00:21,559
the main man himself, Brigs from All Day Anime or

7
00:00:21,559 --> 00:00:23,239
from All Day Anime.

8
00:00:25,399 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 2: So next week we're gonna be talking about fat Apocrypha

9
00:00:28,359 --> 00:00:31,239
and Fate Day Night Unlimited Blade Works, giving you our

10
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,439
thoughts on that. But in the meantime, giving us some

11
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,640
time to watch the episodes, we're doing a bracket on

12
00:00:36,719 --> 00:00:39,880
everything that Recon has recommended thus far in the last

13
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,359
four to six months of us doing this. Whatever he's

14
00:00:42,399 --> 00:00:44,960
made us watch all the trash, we're gonna rank it

15
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,520
and come up with the best one. George Cool joining

16
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,359
us today as well. Sorry, I'm taking your job, Recon.

17
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:51,799
Go go go go finish your reads.

18
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,439
Speaker 1: No, it's fine, it's fine. And we have Jordan of course,

19
00:00:54,439 --> 00:00:55,240
the anime dude.

20
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 3: Hello, what's up everybody? Happy to be here here with

21
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,960
the host Ricon with all his great recommendations here, you know,

22
00:01:02,039 --> 00:01:04,959
peak anime. I figured this will be fun to talk about.

23
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,040
I'm excited for this.

24
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: One exactly pretty much. I'm expecting those two to be

25
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,400
doing most of the talking because you know, I recommended

26
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,239
those shows and I just want to hear their thoughts

27
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,439
and you know, pretty much see who is the winner

28
00:01:16,519 --> 00:01:18,840
of this bracket. So I'm excited to dive in. Are

29
00:01:18,879 --> 00:01:21,120
you guys ready to rumble?

30
00:01:21,799 --> 00:01:22,359
Speaker 2: I'm ready.

31
00:01:23,239 --> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm ready. I'm ready.

32
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 1: Amazing energy from you too. I look anyways, I was

33
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:28,760
born ready.

34
00:01:29,079 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 2: I just rolled up to bed like five minutes and

35
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:33,640
I'm hungover.

36
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:40,879
Speaker 1: We are starting off with gushing over Magical Girls versus

37
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,799
Fate Khalid, Ilia Prisma. What do you guys think?

38
00:01:45,719 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 2: They're both pretty bad? But which one's less worse?

39
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:48,159
Speaker 1: Oh?

40
00:01:49,159 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 3: God, don't go there? Are you saying this one's close? Breaks?

41
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 2: This is I'm this is gonna come down to ricon.

42
00:01:55,719 --> 00:01:57,680
I know which one you're voting for, Jordan, I.

43
00:01:57,599 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 3: Mean, Ilia has a chance to win this bracket if

44
00:01:59,519 --> 00:02:00,560
we're being hones like those.

45
00:02:00,719 --> 00:02:03,599
Speaker 2: Let's just I'm the best, dude. I'm voting for gushing, Dude,

46
00:02:03,599 --> 00:02:05,640
I'm voting for gushing over magical Girls.

47
00:02:06,959 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 3: Ironically, mahos Shojo BDSM is beating out an epic fate

48
00:02:13,479 --> 00:02:18,599
battle between Saber Alter and and Archer Ilia, Like this

49
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:19,599
is this is crazy.

50
00:02:19,759 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 2: This is to be fair, I think I only fully

51
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,400
watched two to three episodes of of Ilia, but I

52
00:02:24,439 --> 00:02:26,960
think I only watched two to three episodes of of

53
00:02:27,319 --> 00:02:33,000
Majo Shojo Magical Girls, so it's a fair battle. They

54
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,879
both suck, don't get me wrong, They're both They're both

55
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,039
something that I don't really want to finish.

56
00:02:39,479 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: As expected.

57
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,319
Speaker 3: I will say, like I said, Eli was just kind

58
00:02:43,319 --> 00:02:45,520
of okay over overall, I'd probably give it like a

59
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:49,039
six or seven, but just in the middle of the

60
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,520
first season, having the balls to just have like Saber

61
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,560
Alter appear out of nowhere when they're already tired. It

62
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,479
goes for like three episodes and at the very end

63
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,039
of that we get like an unlimited Blade Works type

64
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,039
Archer transformation recon has finished it now, so I can

65
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,599
say that, like Ilia turns into Archer, brings out ex Caliber,

66
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,080
and we get like an ex Caliber versus ex Caliber finish,

67
00:03:08,199 --> 00:03:09,439
Like it was a good fight.

68
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,319
Speaker 2: Okay, that does sound amazing and it does make me

69
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:13,360
want to watch more.

70
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,599
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna go with Ilia gushing over Magical Girls

71
00:03:16,599 --> 00:03:18,560
wasn't bad though I didn't. I gave it more shit

72
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,400
on the podcast, but than I probably needed to because

73
00:03:20,439 --> 00:03:22,400
it again knows what it is.

74
00:03:22,479 --> 00:03:24,039
Speaker 2: It it owned it.

75
00:03:24,039 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 3: It was pretty funny and pretty good at what it did.

76
00:03:26,199 --> 00:03:28,120
But I'm gonna go with Ilia for this one.

77
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 2: Okay.

78
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,159
Speaker 1: I pretty much already have a winner for this one,

79
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:34,840
to be honest, because I'm the last one.

80
00:03:34,759 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 2: To vote ricon who would you vote for?

81
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: I honestly I would go for gushing over Magical Girls.

82
00:03:41,159 --> 00:03:43,199
That would get my vote over Ilia. I just enjoyed

83
00:03:43,199 --> 00:03:46,759
gushing over Magical Girls. I finished it completely. I didn't

84
00:03:46,759 --> 00:03:50,240
finish Ilia because I stopped on whatever season, but I

85
00:03:50,319 --> 00:03:54,840
enjoyed gushing over Magicals a lot. It has insanely good etchy.

86
00:03:56,599 --> 00:03:58,599
That's what it pretty much all is about. It's just

87
00:03:58,719 --> 00:04:01,560
full on etchy and full on masochism and shit like that.

88
00:04:01,639 --> 00:04:05,120
But it's it's just, you know, exciting, That's what I

89
00:04:05,159 --> 00:04:06,360
can say. It's exciting. You know.

90
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,639
Speaker 3: Wasn't it an episode of Rank Cafe that you learned

91
00:04:08,639 --> 00:04:10,080
what BDSM was or something?

92
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:10,599
Speaker 2: I think?

93
00:04:10,639 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 1: So, oh ship, we actually we tripped the Yeah, when

94
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:18,439
when was that? When was that.

95
00:04:20,079 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 2: Years ago?

96
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,519
Speaker 3: Its back when Ama was writing the light novel or

97
00:04:23,639 --> 00:04:24,240
oh yeah.

98
00:04:24,079 --> 00:04:27,319
Speaker 1: It was Adamac actually who told me about the BDSM

99
00:04:27,319 --> 00:04:28,040
band or whatever.

100
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 3: Oh gosh.

101
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 2: Anyways, I was kind of leaning towards Gotching over Magical Girls,

102
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,360
but I didn't place my vote just because I feel

103
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,800
like it knows what it is, and it's like, I

104
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:40,600
feel like if you're a fan of that genre, you

105
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,439
might enjoy it. However, this is my choice, and at

106
00:04:44,439 --> 00:04:47,000
the end of the day, while I don't really want

107
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:51,399
to finish either, I'd be more likely to finish Ilia

108
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,120
because I am a fan of Fate and some of

109
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,879
the stuff that you've talked about Jordan is enticing or

110
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,920
is does make me want to watch a little bit

111
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,079
more at the very least, and I know that the

112
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,199
Fates usually tend to have a slow start. The first

113
00:05:04,399 --> 00:05:06,759
handful of episodes tend to not be the best, and

114
00:05:06,759 --> 00:05:08,399
they usually get better and better as time goes on.

115
00:05:08,439 --> 00:05:11,279
With Fate other than zero zero just a banger throughout,

116
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:13,680
I'll vote for Elia.

117
00:05:13,759 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: I'll vo for Elia, okay, all right, and that ladies

118
00:05:17,399 --> 00:05:20,839
and gentlemen, Alia moves on to the next round.

119
00:05:21,199 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 3: I will say I probably over hype it up a

120
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,879
little bit, all right, I'm just I'm naturally biased, Like

121
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,399
it's the the guy that did the uh the screenplay

122
00:05:28,439 --> 00:05:29,959
and stuff for it or or a lot of the

123
00:05:29,959 --> 00:05:32,240
production stuff is the same writer that did like rand

124
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,480
Blue and and Baka do tests, so like his style

125
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:35,600
of comedy is also in there.

126
00:05:35,639 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: So it's not gonna lie. I am disappointed with that

127
00:05:38,959 --> 00:05:41,399
from you. It's also really gone lost.

128
00:05:41,519 --> 00:05:45,199
Speaker 2: Elia is technically not Recon's pick, like it is. It

129
00:05:45,319 --> 00:05:47,279
kind of was, but it's not like really.

130
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 1: No, when you got.

131
00:05:50,079 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 3: Thirteen natural picks for Recon and then like we have

132
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,680
that's what this is what he'd seen prior, and he

133
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:55,920
like threw it out there for the face.

134
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 2: It was like you said it was thirteen natural picks

135
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,319
that when we were doing the recommendations, and then when

136
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,319
we made you watch a fade anime, we're like, which

137
00:06:02,319 --> 00:06:03,720
one should we watch and you're like, yeah, I just

138
00:06:03,759 --> 00:06:06,759
watched Elia next, so it kind of is it kind

139
00:06:06,759 --> 00:06:09,519
of is it kind of it just wasn't. It wasn't.

140
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:10,920
It wasn't on one of the weeks where we were

141
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,959
all recommending a show, but yes, continue, but it doesn't matter.

142
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: But anyways, next round, we have the King's avatar, one

143
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:23,120
of my personal favorite Donghua Chinese anime versus the good

144
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:27,720
old classic Strike the Blood. What are your takes on this? Boys?

145
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:30,959
Speaker 3: This is definitely a recon bracket.

146
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,519
Speaker 2: I will say that can I choose neither?

147
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:35,959
Speaker 1: You have to choose one.

148
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 3: I I love them both at this I didn't really

149
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:42,199
think about the fact that I have to vote for

150
00:06:42,199 --> 00:06:46,040
one when I threw this bracket together, and be honest said,

151
00:06:46,319 --> 00:06:49,560
the King's Avatar had some good silent moments of like

152
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,759
just quiet ambiance where there's you know, a little bit

153
00:06:51,759 --> 00:06:55,040
of a soft ost, like just backgrounds, and you know,

154
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:56,839
you if you just had that, like you're kind of

155
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,120
at peace for a bit, and then Strike the Blood.

156
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,000
It was also a show, like you could tell it

157
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,800
was kind of ambitious. It's based on a lot of

158
00:07:04,879 --> 00:07:06,680
light novels, so there's a lot of lore. They're actually

159
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,040
setting some stuff up. But whether it's good or not,

160
00:07:09,079 --> 00:07:10,160
you know, that's a whole nother thing.

161
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,839
Speaker 2: I absolutely hated King's Avatar, like with a passion is.

162
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,079
It bothered me and pissed me off. But maybe it

163
00:07:18,199 --> 00:07:20,839
still might be better than The Vampire than then whatever the

164
00:07:20,879 --> 00:07:22,160
other one, the Vampire Strike the Blood.

165
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,439
Speaker 3: I think I'm gonna vote for Strike the Blood, because

166
00:07:24,439 --> 00:07:26,240
like I could at least see myself trying to give

167
00:07:26,279 --> 00:07:28,720
those light novels like a try for one volume or something,

168
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:32,160
whereas King's Avatar, I'm not gonna lie. I really did

169
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,439
hate it. I couldn't get a man.

170
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: You guys are so salty on Chinese animated jeez.

171
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 2: The question for me is do I vote for something

172
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,279
that I was bored with Strike the Blood, or do

173
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,959
I go for something that I absolutely hated and pissed

174
00:07:46,959 --> 00:07:48,519
me off King's Avatar.

175
00:07:50,399 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 3: They do say that you know, love and hate or

176
00:07:52,639 --> 00:07:55,199
sides of the same coin, whereas like the opposite would

177
00:07:55,199 --> 00:07:57,240
be like neutrality, right.

178
00:07:58,079 --> 00:08:01,839
Speaker 1: Breaks you stopped and Strike the Bloog breaks. I remember

179
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,920
you stopped at such a crucial moment when Kojo was

180
00:08:05,959 --> 00:08:09,759
stabbed trying to save trying to save his girl, and

181
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,720
you didn't even move on to the next episode to

182
00:08:12,759 --> 00:08:14,399
see his awesome power.

183
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 2: I think that you scrapped it. I think that's why

184
00:08:17,759 --> 00:08:19,839
I need to go with King's Avatar, even though I

185
00:08:19,959 --> 00:08:23,240
genuinely disliked how they went about the story in so

186
00:08:23,319 --> 00:08:26,759
many ways, Like it's just like the ultimate I'm always

187
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,639
flexing on you, I'm always the best I do everything

188
00:08:29,639 --> 00:08:31,879
with these type of thing and it's just like so

189
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,919
cringe the way they actually did it. Like, don't get

190
00:08:34,919 --> 00:08:37,600
me wrong with with Japanese animation, there's a lot of

191
00:08:37,639 --> 00:08:40,440
like over the top flexing, I'm strong off the bat

192
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,200
blah blah blah. But the way that they presented it

193
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:47,279
even more dramatically in King's Avatar just annoyed me even more.

194
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:51,639
But again it was just part.

195
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,519
Speaker 3: There was a slide appeal to that, like have you

196
00:08:54,519 --> 00:08:56,360
ever sat there, Like I said, you're scrolling through shorts

197
00:08:56,399 --> 00:08:58,080
you see, like those K dramas that are like way

198
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,840
over dramatic, And it had a little bit of that

199
00:09:00,879 --> 00:09:04,480
aesthetic too, because like my favorite point is still everybody

200
00:09:04,519 --> 00:09:06,879
like stopping and taking a moment like as a community,

201
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,399
just as a country, like when he retired and like

202
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,919
they all started to cry over the top like that.

203
00:09:12,919 --> 00:09:14,799
That'll just stick with me, Okay, I don't care how

204
00:09:14,799 --> 00:09:17,960
many other anime I watched it, Like they all stopped

205
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:19,919
and shed a tear in that moment and then everybody clapped.

206
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:21,440
It was like it was like a reddit thing, but

207
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,000
like it actually happened right in the anime.

208
00:09:24,039 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 2: It's crazy, bro, It's it's This is a tough one

209
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:28,960
because but I think I actually have to go with

210
00:09:29,039 --> 00:09:31,480
King's Avatar just because at least like it looked pretty

211
00:09:31,519 --> 00:09:34,399
good at times. It did have some badass moments, and

212
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,840
even though I genuinely disliked it, I'd probably rather continue

213
00:09:37,879 --> 00:09:40,240
to watch something I dislike than something I just didn't

214
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,600
want to watch the next episode of out of sheer boredom.

215
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's fair. At least now recon gets to choose,

216
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,000
you know, Now you give me to decide which one

217
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:49,639
of these is.

218
00:09:49,799 --> 00:09:53,519
Speaker 1: The fun fact? The fun fact The King's Avatar is

219
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:59,080
getting a fourth season very soon. Is that popular? It's

220
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:05,159
getting more season. But they're both really good shows for

221
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:09,919
me personally. They both have great visuals. Even for Strike

222
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,679
to Blood, it was old, but it's such a classic,

223
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,279
but it has really good visuals. Same with The King's Avatar.

224
00:10:16,399 --> 00:10:19,080
But for me, I would vote for The King's Avatar.

225
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,399
It is so damn good. I love the action. I

226
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,360
love the overpowered protagonist who pretends to be a weakling

227
00:10:25,399 --> 00:10:27,840
with a low level of character and he just flexes

228
00:10:27,879 --> 00:10:31,840
on everybody like, oh I'm the strongest. Yeah, it's just

229
00:10:31,919 --> 00:10:35,440
like it's awesome. I love this smurfing. He's smurfing. Basically,

230
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:40,080
I love it when people well, yeah, King's Avatar easily

231
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,399
has my votes, and with that, King's Avatar moves on

232
00:10:43,519 --> 00:10:44,320
to the next round.

233
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,759
Speaker 2: On that note, I think that means I voted wrong. Jordan,

234
00:10:46,919 --> 00:10:51,679
my bad, too bad.

235
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,519
Speaker 3: You can't all good, you know. I knew that one

236
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,559
to be a toss up. I honestly didn't want to

237
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,519
vote for either. I figured I'd vote for the one

238
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,360
you were least likely to vote for, so that way

239
00:11:01,399 --> 00:11:04,879
we all at least get a vote there. It worked out.

240
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: Up coming next, we have another good show. The Weakest

241
00:11:10,519 --> 00:11:12,600
Tamer began a journey to pick up Trash, which is

242
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:16,519
an Isachai and it's going up against I know Briggs

243
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:20,720
is gonna hate this one. It is my instant death

244
00:11:20,759 --> 00:11:24,519
ability is so overpowered. Nobody in the other world stands

245
00:11:24,519 --> 00:11:27,240
a chance against me. What do you guys think?

246
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:28,159
Speaker 2: Can I start off with this?

247
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:30,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, go for it, go ahead.

248
00:11:30,759 --> 00:11:33,879
Speaker 2: I just want to say that Maarphone was the worst

249
00:11:33,879 --> 00:11:38,720
anime I had ever completed. I think the instant death

250
00:11:38,759 --> 00:11:44,120
Ability is the worst anime that I've ever dropped. So

251
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,559
you don't like I don't even remember the Tamer one.

252
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:48,639
I don't even remember the tamer One. I'm gonna vote

253
00:11:48,639 --> 00:11:53,039
for the tamer One just because I if you offered

254
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,000
me like a thousand dollars right now to finish the

255
00:11:55,039 --> 00:11:56,600
instant death ability, I'd have to ponder.

256
00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 1: Wow.

257
00:12:00,159 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 3: You know, you know, I did make like the bottom

258
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,600
left of this mostly like the Isakai side of the bracket,

259
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,519
because these are like the only isakais that were really

260
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:13,200
uh that were really in this bracket, surprisingly enough, and

261
00:12:13,279 --> 00:12:15,480
I liked the tame random. It was cute, It was

262
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:16,679
very like.

263
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:19,879
Speaker 1: It was very wholesome in some way.

264
00:12:22,159 --> 00:12:24,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's one of the Yeah, that's the whole.

265
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:26,600
It was pretty good, right, you'll.

266
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 2: Vote for me, actually, let's go.

267
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,919
Speaker 3: Yeah awesome. So I like that one quite a bit.

268
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,360
And uh, my instant death ability is overpowered. Is when

269
00:12:34,399 --> 00:12:38,120
I actually finished. I watched three episodes. First three episodes

270
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:42,519
were god awful. I kept going. It was still really bad,

271
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,080
but but I did finish it, and uh, it left

272
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,200
the bad taste in my mouth because it kept introducing

273
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,960
so many cute girls. You know, early on you might

274
00:12:51,039 --> 00:12:52,639
remember from the first three episodes, it was a cute

275
00:12:52,639 --> 00:12:55,320
cat girl. Yep, she had a couple of minutes of

276
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,080
screen time she dies, like later on there's like a

277
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,000
cute bunny girl, a couple of minutes of screen time

278
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,799
time she dies, and it just repeated like the one

279
00:13:02,799 --> 00:13:04,720
of the biggest sins in anime right there, right, like

280
00:13:04,759 --> 00:13:07,639
these characters that had so much potential, so much.

281
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,919
Speaker 2: Like I blanked out of my mind. I can't remember

282
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,919
the show that well. I remember coming on the podcast

283
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,279
and being like, this is smartphone level of cringe.

284
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, Paymer is so much better, Tamer so much better.

285
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,519
But yes, I'm voting Tamer as well. But I did

286
00:13:23,519 --> 00:13:27,279
finish is Overpowered, and I would watch the season two.

287
00:13:27,279 --> 00:13:29,320
I will say that or what it's worth.

288
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:34,039
Speaker 1: Nice good stuff. I would have, honestly, to tell the truth,

289
00:13:34,039 --> 00:13:36,679
God that I would have voted for uh minds and

290
00:13:36,759 --> 00:13:41,039
death Ability because I love the the overpowered protagonist who

291
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:45,399
has the potential or not not potential, but has a

292
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,840
shot of destroying Cytoma and Goku if they were in

293
00:13:48,879 --> 00:13:50,840
the same world, because oh he has to do is

294
00:13:50,919 --> 00:13:53,720
just say die and then they're gonna die no matter what.

295
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, power scaling wise, he is number one.

296
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,639
Speaker 1: I can't power scaling wise, he is probab probably the

297
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:05,080
most broken anime character I have ever fucking seen no joke.

298
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,919
But with that being said, uh, the weakest Tamer moves

299
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:15,679
on to the next round. And then on the final

300
00:14:15,879 --> 00:14:19,360
left side of the bracket we have yonder a dark

301
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:24,720
Elf versus a literal trash. Can what do you guys think?

302
00:14:25,399 --> 00:14:27,919
Speaker 3: So I will say I initially put the literal trash

303
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,799
in there. As you know, I was like, this could

304
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:32,799
be there for the by round, right, like it could

305
00:14:32,799 --> 00:14:34,440
be there to make sure a good anime goes on.

306
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,879
And I was gonna put it against Tamer because you know,

307
00:14:36,919 --> 00:14:39,399
a Tamer goes and picks up trash. And then I

308
00:14:39,399 --> 00:14:41,639
thought about you too, and I was like, there's a

309
00:14:41,679 --> 00:14:44,720
slight chance, a non zero chance, that Trash wins against Tamer,

310
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,399
and that was going to make me sad. So I

311
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,360
went ahead and put it against yonderay dark Elf.

312
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:55,039
Speaker 2: Instead, I would have probably voted trash over or instant

313
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:55,759
death ability.

314
00:14:56,759 --> 00:15:04,519
Speaker 3: Okay, dark Ill you know, it's all right. At least

315
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:06,399
I like dark el.

316
00:15:09,639 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like dark Elves. I guess that's enough to

317
00:15:11,559 --> 00:15:16,080
make it go by against little Trash. Maybe maybe.

318
00:15:19,039 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 3: I'm also gonna go vote for the yonder A Dark Elf.

319
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,200
You know, I put this in here for a buy

320
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,759
around and a bunch of deserved one for it. Uh yeah,

321
00:15:27,799 --> 00:15:30,519
I only watched a few episodes, but I liked it.

322
00:15:30,559 --> 00:15:32,159
I liked it. You know, it knew what it was,

323
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,279
it owned it, and it did it did it so

324
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:34,799
it was fun.

325
00:15:34,919 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 2: It was fun.

326
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 3: Yeah. Uh, Now I am saying we're missing an opportunity here.

327
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,240
Literal trash could have won this whole bracket, and that

328
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,600
would have revolutionized the whole bracket genre.

329
00:15:45,759 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 2: But I know I would. I would have intility is

330
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,000
worse than trash, Like it's it's beyond that level of trash.

331
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,720
Could trash could have went pretty far if once we

332
00:15:57,759 --> 00:16:02,720
get the meme going, yeah, okay.

333
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,759
Speaker 1: I would have probably voted for Honestly, Beyandre a dark elf.

334
00:16:06,039 --> 00:16:09,120
She's just pretty much you're not really missing out on

335
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,480
anything if you decided to not watch past three episodes.

336
00:16:11,519 --> 00:16:14,679
But it's pretty much the same damn generic shit. But

337
00:16:14,879 --> 00:16:16,960
she's just hot. That's why I would with that.

338
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 2: Yep.

339
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,679
Speaker 1: And with that, the Dark Elve moves on to the

340
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:24,000
next round. And now we're moving on to the right

341
00:16:24,039 --> 00:16:27,679
side of the bracket. And first we have Wistorias Wand

342
00:16:27,679 --> 00:16:31,200
and Sword versus The Daily Life of The Immortal King,

343
00:16:31,399 --> 00:16:34,080
another one of my favorite dong watches anime. What do

344
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:34,519
you guys think?

345
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 2: Oh, this is actually a tough one. These are too

346
00:16:36,759 --> 00:16:37,320
good anime.

347
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: It is indeed tough. These are a very good anime,

348
00:16:40,039 --> 00:16:40,519
both of them.

349
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:42,799
Speaker 2: I enjoyed the fuck out of both of these for

350
00:16:42,919 --> 00:16:46,440
completely different reasons. I can't believe I'm saying this, but

351
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,919
the Wistoria Wand and Sword genuinely I have wanted to

352
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,039
keep on watching. I should keep on watching. It was

353
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,799
a good start, good animation, good moments. I like the

354
00:16:56,799 --> 00:17:00,919
main character, positive things to say. However, the uh, the

355
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:08,480
Immortal King one funny as fuck, so funny, so stupid,

356
00:17:08,559 --> 00:17:10,880
but so funny. I liked it. I actually like, thoroughly enjoyed.

357
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,160
I watched more than I was supposed to for the

358
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:14,839
pot before the podcast.

359
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 1: And you didn't continue it?

360
00:17:17,759 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 2: Did you?

361
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:18,799
Speaker 1: You stopped?

362
00:17:18,839 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 2: I know, I watched the entire first season.

363
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,839
Speaker 1: Oh way more to go, just.

364
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 2: Not on stream, but I have watched the whole first season.

365
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 1: Good, but you got way more.

366
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:29,640
Speaker 2: I rewatched most of it too.

367
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,640
Speaker 3: Mm hmm. I wasn't a big fan of The Immortal King.

368
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,880
When I'm to be honest, I did love Withistoria. And

369
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,920
the only reason I haven't finished with Storia is because

370
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:40,720
I saw that there was like a season two announced

371
00:17:40,759 --> 00:17:42,319
and I'm really excited for that, so I didn't want

372
00:17:42,319 --> 00:17:44,240
to like watch it, give it too much time, and

373
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,599
then like forget and have to rewatch it. So it

374
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,480
held off. But but I do love Wistoria so far.

375
00:17:49,519 --> 00:17:51,960
It's the same author as uh As Don Machi, and

376
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,000
you can kind of tell but it it also has

377
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,440
like Wit Studios animation, so it just looks really pretty.

378
00:17:57,319 --> 00:17:58,839
Speaker 1: Wait, it's the same author as Don Machi.

379
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,279
Speaker 3: I had no idea, yeah for the for the light novels.

380
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 2: I realized I forgot to vote, so I'll let I'm

381
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:06,359
gonna get my voting before Jeordan, so you can make

382
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,480
your decision here. I'm gonna vote for Mortal King because

383
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:13,400
while I think with Storia had a strong start, I

384
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,279
do think it tapered off a little bit and I

385
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,720
maybe I didn't continue watching, probably just because I was

386
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,519
had a busy schedule, but I do want to watch

387
00:18:19,559 --> 00:18:21,960
more versus The Mortal King. Not only did I watched

388
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,160
the first season, I almost rewatched the entire first season

389
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,440
again on stream. I liked it, so I'm gonna vote

390
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:28,079
for im Mortal King.

391
00:18:29,319 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 3: Y'all know, I'm voting with Storia. Mortal King was like,

392
00:18:33,599 --> 00:18:35,160
I just I don't know. I didn't really laugh, like

393
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:36,440
I know it was supposed to be funny. It was

394
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:41,160
like a one A single time. No, A couple of

395
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:42,799
times I did, a couple of times I did when

396
00:18:42,839 --> 00:18:45,119
he walked it out of the like the hospital as

397
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,240
a baby, like right after she gave birth or whatever,

398
00:18:47,319 --> 00:18:50,519
and uh and it was already like talking and whatnot,

399
00:18:50,559 --> 00:18:54,000
Like that was pretty funny. But like father, I require

400
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,599
my diaper changed or whatever. I can't remember what the

401
00:18:56,599 --> 00:18:58,640
lines were, but there was a couple of giggles in there.

402
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:02,039
But uh, but yeah, I don't know. It's it's like

403
00:19:02,039 --> 00:19:04,279
I would rather watch One Punch Band season three, I think,

404
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,599
if I had to, if I had to choose, so

405
00:19:08,599 --> 00:19:11,720
so with story A, yeah, it goes for you, U recon.

406
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,519
Speaker 1: I love both of these anime. Whistoria is one and

407
00:19:15,559 --> 00:19:18,200
Sword season two is coming out in a twenty twenty six.

408
00:19:18,279 --> 00:19:22,039
I'm very excited for that. And Immortal King surprisingly is

409
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,960
still ongoing and it's getting another season. Oh god, it

410
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,880
has like fucking six seven seasons right now. It is

411
00:19:28,079 --> 00:19:31,519
crazy I'm going to keep up Imortal King. Dude, I'm

412
00:19:32,319 --> 00:19:34,079
I might just rip that the whole next week. Fuck

413
00:19:34,079 --> 00:19:38,880
Apocrypha also just one. I just I'm not gonna spoil

414
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,759
my overall thoughts on Apocrypha. While it looks amazing, I'm

415
00:19:41,799 --> 00:19:45,559
not surprised it's Ricon's favorite because I'm hating it so far. Man,

416
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:47,440
you didn't like you don't like Astolfo.

417
00:19:47,519 --> 00:19:51,079
Speaker 2: I'm only five episodes in. I don't see the appeal yet.

418
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:54,839
Speaker 1: Astolfo's the appeal. You don't like that?

419
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't just like a character and then be

420
00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,839
like I like the show now, Sorry, Racon.

421
00:20:00,279 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 1: Huh interesting anyways? Uh for me, I will vote for

422
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:10,759
Immortal King. Oh, it's funny as fuck Overpowered Demon Lord.

423
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,880
It's just yeah, it's it's it's a big fucking parody

424
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,119
comedy show that I just really enjoy. It's it's just

425
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:22,200
well fucking made. So with that said, Immortal King moves

426
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,200
on to the next round, and unfortunately with Storia goes

427
00:20:25,279 --> 00:20:26,200
down in the dumpster.

428
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, somebody else has got to start making these brackets

429
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,200
because we just had the King's Avatar and under a

430
00:20:30,279 --> 00:20:32,400
Dark Elf move on to season or Yeah, in the

431
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,640
second round with story it did not.

432
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 2: This is not your fault, Jordan, this is this is

433
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,000
the fault of Recon's anime picks.

434
00:20:40,559 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 1: No, this is Jordan's fault. He's the one that put

435
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:44,079
this bracket together.

436
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 2: You recommended this trash, dude.

437
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,279
Speaker 1: I recommended this all, but I'm not the one who

438
00:20:49,319 --> 00:20:52,359
put each anime against each other. That's Jordan's job.

439
00:20:52,519 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 2: I could already predict what's gonna win this bracket, and

440
00:20:55,079 --> 00:20:58,039
I genuinely think it's gonna come down to the two shows.

441
00:20:58,759 --> 00:21:02,160
It might come down to the two shows that were

442
00:21:02,279 --> 00:21:05,880
like a half freakon recommendation and a kind of chat

443
00:21:06,079 --> 00:21:09,400
and a kind of chat recommendation. Out of sixteen picks,

444
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,680
the two that were kind of not yours are gonna

445
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:13,480
be in the bat in the finals. I'm calling it, man,

446
00:21:13,519 --> 00:21:15,039
shut up, let's just keep going.

447
00:21:15,079 --> 00:21:19,319
Speaker 1: Okay, next round, we have Help the Great Hercules strong

448
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:23,759
Man versus the show that I enjoy is Gamers. What

449
00:21:23,799 --> 00:21:24,440
do you guys think?

450
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 2: Help?

451
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 1: Oh God, that was quick, just straight up quick like that,

452
00:21:30,079 --> 00:21:31,880
No explanation, no nothing, how clears.

453
00:21:32,279 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 2: Maybe I take it back, Maybe a single character can

454
00:21:34,319 --> 00:21:37,799
carry a series. I lied like two seconds ago. Help

455
00:21:38,759 --> 00:21:42,839
is just so funny, so entertaining. I absolutely loved it,

456
00:21:42,839 --> 00:21:45,599
and I want to watch more. Gamers was just okay,

457
00:21:45,599 --> 00:21:48,799
al right, it was okay. I don't dislike it, so.

458
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,039
Speaker 3: Help was really good. I do need to still watch

459
00:21:52,039 --> 00:21:55,119
more of it. It like had a good blend of

460
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,880
like it was really really funny whenever it tried to

461
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,559
be like the gags genuinely did make me laugh, and

462
00:22:00,599 --> 00:22:02,960
then uh, on that same front, you could tell it

463
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:04,880
was like setting up stuff that was like more serious

464
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,319
and like blending them together really well. I've heard great

465
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,079
things about the manga. It's already finished, so I know

466
00:22:09,079 --> 00:22:13,720
it probably has a good ending. That being said, I'm

467
00:22:13,759 --> 00:22:16,720
really biased. I really like Gamers. Gamers makes me laugh.

468
00:22:17,079 --> 00:22:20,519
It's one of my nostalgic favorites that I watched seasonally.

469
00:22:21,039 --> 00:22:23,079
I went in with very low expectations. I enjoyed it

470
00:22:23,079 --> 00:22:24,240
more than I did, so.

471
00:22:24,279 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: I even made a video about it.

472
00:22:26,039 --> 00:22:26,559
Speaker 2: I did.

473
00:22:26,599 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 3: I made a video on why you should watch Gamers

474
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,680
because I liked it so much. It's just underrated, right,

475
00:22:30,759 --> 00:22:35,119
so i'd Gamers, but but it's tough. It's tough. I

476
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:36,759
could see it going either way. I'm just doing that

477
00:22:36,799 --> 00:22:38,880
so recon can have that final say.

478
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:41,400
Speaker 1: Well, I pretty much have a clear winner. I'm just

479
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,880
going to pretty much vote for gamers.

480
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,759
Speaker 2: There is no cure in my opinion, how could have

481
00:22:49,759 --> 00:22:51,000
won this entire bracket?

482
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 3: That's the fun of a recon bracket break.

483
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:58,079
Speaker 1: Who Yeah, I love gamers gaming it's fun. I love

484
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,799
the characters. I love their interaction is so funny.

485
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 2: Thought, how do you like gamers more than help?

486
00:23:04,039 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 1: Look? Hellck is good, but I just really enjoyed gamers

487
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,720
a lot more if I finished health.

488
00:23:09,759 --> 00:23:10,640
Speaker 3: There's a chance.

489
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:14,079
Speaker 1: Gamers is pretty much just it was just about gaming

490
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,240
at the beginning, and then slowly, slowly, about halfway through,

491
00:23:17,319 --> 00:23:22,519
it's just becomes misunderstandings the anime, and I fucking loved it.

492
00:23:22,599 --> 00:23:24,880
Speaker 3: The misunderstandings are funny. And then like also just the

493
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,000
self awareness of like how it set itself up. Like

494
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:28,759
I said, it sell itself up as like an esports

495
00:23:28,759 --> 00:23:31,480
type anime in that first episode, and then like it

496
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,960
set up all these characters that had the main character energy,

497
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,720
all these crazy backstories, and then we never saw any

498
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:38,640
of those characters again, and we didn't do that. So

499
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:40,880
like it it was just a love story to gaming,

500
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:42,119
you know, and itself.

501
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 1: Let's go and with that said, Hell goes on the

502
00:23:45,079 --> 00:23:47,799
dumpster while Gamers proceeds the next round.

503
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:51,039
Speaker 3: Briggs not gamer enough, confirmed this crazy all.

504
00:23:51,039 --> 00:23:53,039
Speaker 1: Right, get it now that this is gonna be a

505
00:23:53,079 --> 00:23:56,599
good one. We have two insanely good comedy shows. We

506
00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:02,559
have Gabriel Dropout and Chicoo. What do you guys think?

507
00:24:05,319 --> 00:24:07,920
Mm hmm, this is gonna be tough. I don't know,

508
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:09,599
they're super good, both of them.

509
00:24:09,839 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 3: They were both good. I Abriel Dropouts when I didn't finish,

510
00:24:13,599 --> 00:24:16,400
and I could see myself actually finishing if I, uh,

511
00:24:16,599 --> 00:24:17,920
you know, if I was in the mood for that

512
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,079
type of thing, and No Koton I did, so I

513
00:24:20,079 --> 00:24:24,359
feel like I'm biased towards No Koton. But Nokoton kept

514
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:28,240
me on my toes like you would think it's very

515
00:24:28,599 --> 00:24:32,079
you'd think it's very like, uh, you know, predictable, and

516
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,400
it is because it's just she's a deer but she's

517
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,920
also a girl, so she's like a deer girl and

518
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,480
there's so many jokes around that. But it was also funny.

519
00:24:39,559 --> 00:24:42,000
I don't know, it kept going like above and beyond

520
00:24:42,079 --> 00:24:45,240
on some of the gags. So uh, the finale was great.

521
00:24:45,839 --> 00:24:47,839
Genuinely enjoyed it. I'm gonna go with nooton.

522
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 2: Dude, I don't know what to vote for. I feel

523
00:24:50,279 --> 00:24:54,519
like these are like tied. I think the super good

524
00:24:55,039 --> 00:24:57,720
think of the I think I have to go with

525
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,720
no Koton because it's a little bit funnier. I guess

526
00:25:01,279 --> 00:25:02,920
they had them. They had them good because of the

527
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:04,920
deer's in the background. I think I think that puts

528
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,559
it over the edge. The random bears and the random

529
00:25:07,599 --> 00:25:10,000
deers in the backgrounds.

530
00:25:10,519 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 3: It was like predictable, but it would keep you guessing

531
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:13,920
with stuff like that, right, Like I went in pretty

532
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:15,960
blind and so just like randomly seeing the deer, like

533
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,440
the gugs, Like I didn't expect it to go there. Right.

534
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,880
Speaker 2: There's one scene where she's bleeding so much out of

535
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,920
her head and she's like my knee and she's like,

536
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:25,599
I don't feel well. It was about to pass out,

537
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,240
and then put the band aid on her knees, like

538
00:25:27,279 --> 00:25:28,079
I feel better now.

539
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 3: The Boss music that was still epics of the Best.

540
00:25:35,599 --> 00:25:40,640
Speaker 1: Man. She Naota was just it went so viral when

541
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,559
it when it was airing, the like the opening went viral.

542
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,880
The music is viral. The memes are so funny. I

543
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,720
think it's just it's just elevated itself a lot more

544
00:25:49,839 --> 00:25:52,440
because of that than Gabriel drop Out. They're both great,

545
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,039
don't get me wrong, but I just think uh Kota

546
00:25:55,279 --> 00:25:57,720
was a lot more fun. It was a lot more active,

547
00:25:57,839 --> 00:25:58,039
you know.

548
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,519
Speaker 3: Towards the end, there was like a whole song that

549
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:02,839
was kind of like a Rocky training montage type thing,

550
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,160
but like they redid it in English and like Japanese.

551
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,000
It was like two different songs, and that whole sequence

552
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,400
was really fun too, So I appreciated that, all right.

553
00:26:11,519 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 1: And with that said, Nkot moves moves up and Gabriel

554
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:19,519
drop I goes down. But next up we have all load.

555
00:26:20,279 --> 00:26:26,160
We have she Monetta versus my girl Jahi. What do

556
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:26,640
you guys think?

557
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean Ja was fun. But while the show

558
00:26:36,319 --> 00:26:38,359
is the great JAHI will not be defeated, I wanted

559
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:43,759
to make sure that great JAHI would be defeated. Yeah,

560
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:46,039
she is so good. It was. It's probably the best

561
00:26:46,039 --> 00:26:48,599
thing Ricon's recommended on this, if I'm being honest, like

562
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:48,839
it was.

563
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 1: It was.

564
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 3: It was peak.

565
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:50,599
Speaker 1: It was a.

566
00:26:50,519 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 3: Classic that I had put off up till that point.

567
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,039
Speaker 1: I really didn't expect you both to actually like it

568
00:26:55,079 --> 00:26:58,440
because it's just all about dirty jokes, unapologetic, but it's

569
00:26:58,599 --> 00:26:59,960
but you guys certainly did.

570
00:27:00,559 --> 00:27:04,039
Speaker 2: I will say there's some hilarious moments in Simonetta, and

571
00:27:04,079 --> 00:27:06,240
I do like it, but I did start to lose

572
00:27:06,279 --> 00:27:08,000
interest as time went by. I'm like, Okay, this is

573
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,240
starting to get old now, at least for me, really.

574
00:27:11,319 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 3: That's fair. I was kind of over it by like

575
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:16,480
towards the very end. But at the same time, I

576
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,519
still found it like very funny on like a surface

577
00:27:19,559 --> 00:27:21,720
level thing. And then also I enjoyed like the broader

578
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,559
message of the show, right, So it did both things

579
00:27:25,599 --> 00:27:27,920
really well. And then there's just like so many puns

580
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:31,519
and like visual dick jokes that were just funny. So

581
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:35,839
have you guys ever seen like a stand up comedian

582
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,160
where like the jokes themselves are like kind of okay,

583
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:40,279
but like they're just rapid fire it right, That's that's

584
00:27:40,319 --> 00:27:42,039
kind of sham wantta Like it would just throw out

585
00:27:42,039 --> 00:27:43,599
so many jokes left right.

586
00:27:43,519 --> 00:27:45,640
Speaker 2: Right, and it just it really caught me off guard

587
00:27:45,839 --> 00:27:47,799
in the first couple episodes, Like some of the jokes

588
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,799
was just so unapologetic, so just in your face, I

589
00:27:50,799 --> 00:27:54,279
don't give a fuck, not expected from an anime. And

590
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:56,200
like you would think I would get used to it,

591
00:27:56,319 --> 00:27:58,400
and it took a while, Like it was like even

592
00:27:58,599 --> 00:28:01,319
at three or there was moments where I'm like, oh

593
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:05,160
my god, did you just say that? Did that just happen?

594
00:28:08,039 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 3: But then it is.

595
00:28:10,079 --> 00:28:13,160
Speaker 1: Remember remember the first episode. I remember the first episode

596
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:18,480
when the girl said, cop the doodle mo pussa so bad?

597
00:28:18,839 --> 00:28:20,599
Speaker 2: Anyway, let's go to the next round.

598
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: All right, Moving on, ladies and gentlemen, Round two. Back

599
00:28:25,039 --> 00:28:28,279
to the left side of the bracket. We have the

600
00:28:28,319 --> 00:28:32,680
winners that have advanced Ilia Fake Khalid Prisma versus the

601
00:28:32,839 --> 00:28:34,200
King's avatarar.

602
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,279
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm sorry I hesitated there. I feel like that

603
00:28:40,359 --> 00:28:43,720
was the in and of itself. Was was hesitating for

604
00:28:43,759 --> 00:28:44,599
a second, but.

605
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 2: Watchable, like I could watch more. I didn't love it,

606
00:28:48,279 --> 00:28:50,839
but I could watch more. I didn't. I wasn't a

607
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:52,920
huge fan just because it was just not for me

608
00:28:53,759 --> 00:28:54,160
per se.

609
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: I feel like.

610
00:28:56,599 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 3: I feel like Elia has those aspects to it that

611
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:00,400
are a little out there that like make a lot

612
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,279
of people probably feel that way where they go, yeah,

613
00:29:02,279 --> 00:29:04,039
I'm just gonna stick away from that show, or like

614
00:29:04,079 --> 00:29:06,599
it's probably not for me, but like at its core,

615
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:11,079
it is like you know, solid themes, very put together,

616
00:29:11,119 --> 00:29:13,720
well enough, and it's like, like you said, very watchable

617
00:29:13,759 --> 00:29:15,559
if nothing else and all the place.

618
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 2: On the contrast, King's Avatar, I just like hated every

619
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:22,039
second of it for the most part, Like I absolutely

620
00:29:22,079 --> 00:29:24,119
hated on it. It just killed me. It killed me

621
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:24,599
to watch.

622
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:30,039
Speaker 1: It's crazy that you would watch magical girls versus a

623
00:29:30,119 --> 00:29:32,079
dope overpowered I would.

624
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:32,839
Speaker 2: Rather watch.

625
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 3: You know what's funny, Recone is like, besides Magical Destroyers

626
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:43,279
and uh Medoka, I hadn't watched like any Magical Girl

627
00:29:43,359 --> 00:29:47,160
shows through an entire season prior to, like prior to this,

628
00:29:47,359 --> 00:29:50,839
so you know, thank you for you changed that for me.

629
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,279
You know, you gave me a magical show I guess

630
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:57,160
is slightly better than even King's Avatar, right, So it's great.

631
00:29:57,279 --> 00:29:59,359
Speaker 2: So funny I exist in chat says King's Avatar is

632
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,920
smartphone life, and I don't think it's that far, but

633
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:06,079
that's a good comparison because with smartphone there's like a

634
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:09,839
problem will be brought up and then immediately solved with

635
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:13,480
no adversity, and I feel like that's kind of what

636
00:30:13,519 --> 00:30:16,640
happens with King Avatar. There's there's there's a slight challenge

637
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:20,839
immediately solved, no adversity for the purpose of making our

638
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,480
main character look look good and look bad at.

639
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, because he already knows what to do because he's

640
00:30:26,839 --> 00:30:27,559
done these books.

641
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 3: He's like, I have mastery over every magic and pretty

642
00:30:32,079 --> 00:30:35,519
much over this guy. So it's he.

643
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 1: Hasn't done everything Briggs already, and he has already. He's

644
00:30:38,519 --> 00:30:41,160
a master gamer and he's just starting over to flex

645
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:44,599
on everybody. So of course he knows the the you know,

646
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:48,119
the answer to all the problems.

647
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 2: Definitely, it makes sense kind of for both, but it

648
00:30:50,799 --> 00:30:53,519
just it does take away from it a little bit

649
00:30:53,559 --> 00:30:56,440
with the execution because like, how do I say this?

650
00:30:58,359 --> 00:31:00,480
With smartphone it's more annoying because they are fantasy world

651
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:03,079
where there should be some struggle. Obviously he's overpowered because

652
00:31:03,079 --> 00:31:05,240
of whatever his ability is. A smartphone faces me off

653
00:31:05,279 --> 00:31:08,759
because there's no adversity. It just immediately solved. But sometimes

654
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,559
you need to, like it makes the bad ass fory

655
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:15,039
better when there's a little bit of like tension in steaks.

656
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:17,160
Once you lose all the tension in stakes, it kind

657
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:21,319
of sucks unless it's funny like one punch Man. I

658
00:31:21,359 --> 00:31:24,240
don't know King's Avatar is like it was it went

659
00:31:24,359 --> 00:31:27,680
so out of its way to be cringe and it's

660
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:29,599
execution of showing off bad assy.

661
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 1: You know. Pumpkin makes a good point in the chat.

662
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:38,079
He says Toya is broken because he got superpowers for nothing, obviously,

663
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,039
just like any other Isechai protagonist. But the King, dude,

664
00:31:41,359 --> 00:31:44,039
the main character from The King's Avatar is strong because

665
00:31:44,079 --> 00:31:46,000
he worked his way to the top to become the

666
00:31:46,079 --> 00:31:47,039
ultimate best game.

667
00:31:47,119 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 2: And then which is very sue and then he's smurfing,

668
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,839
so it is different, yes, and then he's there's a

669
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:55,039
reason why I watch smartphones like I'm the worst anime

670
00:31:55,119 --> 00:31:57,640
ive ever watched. I wouldn't say King Davatar is that far.

671
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:04,240
It just like Bottom that's fair Bottom twenty Okay, it

672
00:32:04,319 --> 00:32:06,119
had a very pretty background.

673
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:09,559
Speaker 1: So yeah, so I guess with that said, it's two

674
00:32:09,559 --> 00:32:11,880
to one because I would have voted for King's Avatar easily.

675
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,640
So yeah, King's Avatar goes down and Ilia moves on

676
00:32:15,759 --> 00:32:17,519
to the semi finals.

677
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,039
Speaker 3: Like Rebullian recon in his own bracket, this is.

678
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 1: You really are, guys really are Next round, we have

679
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:28,240
the weakest tamer began a Judy to pick up trash

680
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:32,039
versus Yanda Da dark Elf. What do you guys think?

681
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 2: Probably Tamor. It was cute. I like the vibe. The

682
00:32:34,519 --> 00:32:36,599
pacing at times was a little rough. But Tamor is

683
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,119
just more more for me than dark Elf, I would say,

684
00:32:39,119 --> 00:32:40,480
but I do like dark elves.

685
00:32:41,759 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, these are two very different shows, so I feel

686
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:47,240
like it would end on the mood. But uh, tamer

687
00:32:47,319 --> 00:32:49,200
is a weird one because it almost felt like it

688
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:52,160
shouldn't be any Sakai, Like she didn't have actual memories

689
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:53,640
of her past life. There's just like a voice in

690
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:57,640
her head that like kind of remembers vague things from

691
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,799
her past life and would like have conver stations about it.

692
00:33:00,839 --> 00:33:03,519
So morely she has like schizophrenia than like was a

693
00:33:03,559 --> 00:33:08,039
Nissa Guai. But uh, yonder a dark Elf. It's a yonder.

694
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:09,920
It's a dark Elf. She's so cute.

695
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:12,519
Speaker 1: But crazy.

696
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 3: I'm gonna well, but you know, I will say, just

697
00:33:17,359 --> 00:33:19,160
shout out to the ander a dark Elf right like

698
00:33:19,559 --> 00:33:19,920
it was.

699
00:33:19,839 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 1: A shout out to all the fans. Shout out to

700
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:25,839
all the fans. Would like her, you but anyways, my

701
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:27,880
vote wouldn't even matter. I would have voted for dark

702
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:29,680
Out because she's hot and I love her so much.

703
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:33,640
But yeah, and with that said, dark Elf goes down

704
00:33:33,799 --> 00:33:37,279
and and trash Tamer goes on to the next round,

705
00:33:37,359 --> 00:33:40,720
onto the semi finals. But moving on now on back

706
00:33:40,839 --> 00:33:44,960
to the right side of the bracket, we have the

707
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:48,200
Immortal King versus Gamers.

708
00:33:51,559 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 3: Y'all already know my my vote brings all at you.

709
00:33:54,319 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I don't really have to say. I don't

710
00:34:00,279 --> 00:34:02,000
dislike gamers. I did like it.

711
00:34:02,119 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 3: It just like the most subjective subject, right.

712
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, Immortal King made me laugh, you know, yep, noice,

713
00:34:10,639 --> 00:34:11,559
it also made me laugh.

714
00:34:11,639 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 3: Same gamers made me laugh. Immortal King didn't. So I'm

715
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,360
the vote gamers. It's up the ree gun on this one.

716
00:34:16,559 --> 00:34:19,039
Speaker 1: Well, you guys already know my answer to that one,

717
00:34:19,159 --> 00:34:21,440
and you do, of course, breaks, but my vote goes

718
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:24,400
to gamers.

719
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:31,320
Speaker 2: Oh it's not that good, guys, it's pretty inn good.

720
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:34,840
Speaker 3: You gotta remember Episode one starts out in the very

721
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,360
middle with no context, right, and they're just making funny faces.

722
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,440
And funny faces make me laugh, all right. There's something

723
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:41,880
about like that just flashes me back to when I

724
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:44,280
was like one or two and people were making funny

725
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,239
faces to make me laugh. Like that sticks with you, right,

726
00:34:46,639 --> 00:34:48,800
you can't tell me funny faces aren't funny.

727
00:34:49,639 --> 00:34:53,400
Speaker 1: Honestly, for me, Breaks Gamers is just more memorable than

728
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,800
Immortal King. It's just that the camera the characters in

729
00:34:56,880 --> 00:35:00,360
Gamers I enjoyed more than Immortal King because more King

730
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:03,000
just throws out a bunch of random ship like yeah,

731
00:35:03,039 --> 00:35:05,280
it's funny, it's it's good at the same time, but

732
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:08,199
it's just more memorable for me Gamers and that's why

733
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:10,480
I'm like, Plus, it's misunderstanding.

734
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 2: Amazon himself like a bag of chips, mid like emergency,

735
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:15,840
and then there is this invisible guy that was charged up.

736
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:17,760
He's like, haha, he didn't see me, and he's like,

737
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:19,320
I see you. I don't know. I just the guys

738
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:21,000
have a comedy. I find so funny.

739
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 1: It is funny. I like it, Like.

740
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:27,320
Speaker 2: Jordan's absolutely right, like comedy is just so subjective.

741
00:35:27,519 --> 00:35:29,760
Speaker 3: It's just it's a tough one. A lot of these

742
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:32,039
are comedy anime, right, which is especially on the right

743
00:35:32,079 --> 00:35:34,239
side of the bracket. They're almost all comedies as far

744
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:37,000
as besides wistoria for things.

745
00:35:37,119 --> 00:35:40,079
Speaker 2: For example, the lowest rated One punch Man episode came

746
00:35:40,079 --> 00:35:42,599
out last week. Lowest rated One punch Man. I think

747
00:35:42,599 --> 00:35:44,920
it's the lowest rated rated episode of anime of all time.

748
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:51,440
I laughed like absurdly loud four to five times during

749
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:56,320
that episode, like genuine laughter, genuine enjoyment, even though it

750
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:58,559
there was no animation in the entire episode. No one

751
00:35:58,639 --> 00:36:00,840
really moved. It was just it was his mouth that

752
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:04,000
flaps the entire episode, and people rated it like one

753
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:05,800
point five. And I think the hate train is is

754
00:36:06,039 --> 00:36:08,679
kind of pushing it really down and people are hating

755
00:36:08,679 --> 00:36:10,719
on it more than it deserves, while it deserves a

756
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:14,920
better adaptation. I just I enjoyed the episode. I actually

757
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:16,840
had a fantastic time with the episode.

758
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:19,679
Speaker 3: I don't think that's fair though, because people are hating

759
00:36:19,679 --> 00:36:22,679
on the adaptation because there's like because it's such a

760
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:25,719
beloved source material, right and because like the animation isn't there,

761
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,000
so like that's the reason for the low score. But

762
00:36:28,159 --> 00:36:30,880
the writing itself, like one's writing. He is a funny dude.

763
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:32,679
Like there's a lot of funny gags and one punch

764
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:35,880
Man and mop Psycho and whatnot, So it deserved.

765
00:36:36,119 --> 00:36:38,400
Speaker 1: I think the bullying of the hate is deserved, but it's.

766
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 2: Not though it's not. That was not a one point

767
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:42,679
five out of ten episode, right, like, like maybe it's deserved,

768
00:36:42,679 --> 00:36:46,119
but it's being downloaded because people love the manga and

769
00:36:46,159 --> 00:36:48,840
they love season one, right Like, if this is a

770
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:52,039
random episode of another anime, it would have probably got

771
00:36:52,079 --> 00:36:53,000
a five or six out of ten.

772
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:57,760
Speaker 1: I see that. Unfortunately, I just don't think they're paying

773
00:36:57,840 --> 00:36:59,639
the animators very well for this one. I don't know.

774
00:37:00,639 --> 00:37:03,840
Speaker 3: It's scheduling, how much time they gave them the big

775
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:04,800
thing as well, right.

776
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:07,679
Speaker 2: Exactly, it's it's it's the usual thing. It's a new

777
00:37:08,039 --> 00:37:10,880
I think that a new studio that's doing this like

778
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:14,599
really did like other jac stuff. I don't know, I

779
00:37:14,639 --> 00:37:15,039
don't know.

780
00:37:15,159 --> 00:37:17,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, the thing is, I don't know how they do

781
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:20,280
other good anime like let's say Don Machi JC staff

782
00:37:20,519 --> 00:37:23,400
amazing adaptation Don Macci, but then they give us this

783
00:37:23,519 --> 00:37:27,079
trashy one punch Man adaptation, which it doesn't make any sense.

784
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:27,559
You know.

785
00:37:27,679 --> 00:37:30,320
Speaker 3: It's like the really doesn't production schedule as far as

786
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:33,239
like what the producers decide and like what they get

787
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:34,760
investment forward and things like that.

788
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 2: You would think they would have enough budget wise in

789
00:37:38,519 --> 00:37:41,440
regards to like to get it done. Considering one Punch

790
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:44,559
maans On like a lot of like popular streaming platforms,

791
00:37:45,119 --> 00:37:46,880
so I'm surprised there's no money for I could see

792
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:48,320
like scheduling constraints.

793
00:37:49,199 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 3: I think there probably is a lot of scheduling. There's

794
00:37:51,039 --> 00:37:53,840
a lot of it's usually a rush to get stuff

795
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,199
like that out. And then there's also and I'm not

796
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:58,079
the biggest expert on this, right, so I'm halfway speaking

797
00:37:58,079 --> 00:38:00,760
out my ass, but there's also just the the thing

798
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:03,360
of they know it's probably gonna at least sell well,

799
00:38:03,559 --> 00:38:06,400
and like they're gonna get like some sales for it

800
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:07,000
just because.

801
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 1: It ain't selling. It ain't doing well.

802
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:11,800
Speaker 3: I know, But just generally speaking, if you're pushing out

803
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:13,840
like a sequel of something that's already popular, like that's

804
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:16,039
the reason, like a Blue Lock season two right gets

805
00:38:16,079 --> 00:38:18,559
a treatment that's like less than season one or one

806
00:38:18,559 --> 00:38:22,920
punch Man sequel season two and three, they're not necessarily

807
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:24,559
going to strive to get that same qualities in season

808
00:38:24,599 --> 00:38:26,280
one because it already has fans, It already has a

809
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:29,480
fan base, Like they already know people are gonna watch

810
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:33,079
it right for one way or another, whereas with like

811
00:38:33,079 --> 00:38:36,000
an original, you're trying to kind of prove yourself against

812
00:38:36,039 --> 00:38:36,719
the other stuff.

813
00:38:37,559 --> 00:38:39,920
Speaker 1: I highly doubt people would pay to watch this garbage.

814
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:41,280
That's why I just watched it illegally.

815
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:44,599
Speaker 3: Dude. I do think they pushed the grain, like what

816
00:38:44,639 --> 00:38:47,000
they can get away with, right, Like people still like

817
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:48,719
Bluelock season two and like for a lot of that,

818
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:51,039
it's a lot of pg lock, right.

819
00:38:51,039 --> 00:38:54,760
Speaker 2: I think you would be sorry to cut you off.

820
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:56,639
I think you would be surprised where you're going with

821
00:38:56,679 --> 00:38:59,519
how many people are watching One punch Man and how

822
00:38:59,559 --> 00:39:02,119
many people are going to watch it regardless because of

823
00:39:02,159 --> 00:39:03,440
its name, right.

824
00:39:03,599 --> 00:39:06,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, I know. But in the end, the

825
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:10,480
JC staff or the people behind JC, the people behind

826
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:12,719
the animation, they're going to get all the hate and

827
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:15,239
the bullying, which for me is deserved because they're giving

828
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:18,960
us a horrible adaptation to one of the most beloved

829
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,400
series and they just need to, you know, take that

830
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:23,400
criticism with them back home. I don't think.

831
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:25,559
Speaker 2: I don't think the staff deserve it. Recon. I don't

832
00:39:25,559 --> 00:39:27,679
think the staff deserve it. It's more the executives and

833
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:31,159
maybe the overarching company. But I do agree with I

834
00:39:31,199 --> 00:39:33,079
do think all this hate is any if anything, is

835
00:39:33,159 --> 00:39:35,159
drawing so much more attention to one to one Ben.

836
00:39:36,039 --> 00:39:37,559
Speaker 3: I think there's a lot of issues with the current

837
00:39:37,599 --> 00:39:40,199
anime industry and like how they manage those production schedules

838
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:43,199
or like how they try to push stuff out. But yeah,

839
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:44,480
I think a lot of that goes back to the

840
00:39:44,559 --> 00:39:47,719
executives and whoever makes those decisions regarding the production, rather

841
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:51,519
than the animators themselves. So hopefully the animators don't catch

842
00:39:51,559 --> 00:39:54,360
too much black because I'm sure like the schedules they're

843
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:55,719
working under are pretty constrained.

844
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,079
Speaker 2: At the end of the day, you can only put

845
00:39:58,119 --> 00:40:00,360
out a product based on the amount of people you

846
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:03,760
have in the time you have working any amount of money, right, Yeah,

847
00:40:04,079 --> 00:40:06,440
considering they've done good things in the past, I wouldn't.

848
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:08,760
I don't think. I think it's more of an overarching

849
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:10,360
company issue.

850
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:12,920
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean you could take a good animator and

851
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,159
say give them as much money as you want to, say,

852
00:40:15,159 --> 00:40:17,280
like make this within a week, and like if you're

853
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:19,079
only giving them a week and like that's not enough

854
00:40:19,079 --> 00:40:20,039
time to do it, then.

855
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:25,159
Speaker 1: The most popular, the most popular meme from the New

856
00:40:25,199 --> 00:40:28,360
One punch Man is the fucking Garro slide. If you

857
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:30,400
guys have seen that.

858
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:33,239
Speaker 3: Or you just slide down the hill, they're just fucking dragging.

859
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 1: They're dragging a PNG downhill and then everybody is like

860
00:40:38,039 --> 00:40:40,079
there are so many videos on YouTube. Is like people

861
00:40:40,159 --> 00:40:42,440
are using AI to fix that, or they're doing it

862
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:45,639
better themselves, like jay Z staff Hire me, I can

863
00:40:45,679 --> 00:40:46,239
do better.

864
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, anyways, we're going off track right now.

865
00:40:54,039 --> 00:40:58,159
Speaker 3: Jeez, Daily Lives.

866
00:40:59,119 --> 00:41:03,360
Speaker 1: Unfortunately the Mortal King is no longer immortal because he's mortal.

867
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:06,119
He's going to go downhill and Gamers moves up.

868
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:08,119
Speaker 2: I think next round, she was my favorite anime. Here

869
00:41:08,119 --> 00:41:12,199
we're Helkin and Mortal King. Anyway, continue anyways, next round

870
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:12,679
we have.

871
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 1: Versus shimon Etta. Take it away, guys.

872
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:23,880
Speaker 2: Hmmm, Simonnetta's probably better.

873
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:28,599
Speaker 3: It is. I do want to say these are at

874
00:41:28,679 --> 00:41:30,920
least both shows I finished in their entirety after recon

875
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:31,559
recommended them.

876
00:41:31,599 --> 00:41:31,679
Speaker 2: Right.

877
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:33,760
Speaker 3: They were both pretty funny, They were both very enjoyable.

878
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:37,280
They both kind of kept me engaged. Simonetta is just

879
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:39,239
one of those where I feel like the quality is

880
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:41,840
up there and then it's just also a classic. I

881
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:44,920
was like ashamed, I hadn't hadn't watched up to that point, right,

882
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:49,280
like good surface level and then also good aside from that.

883
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:54,840
So yeah, Shimonetta all the way, and it has Anna

884
00:41:55,039 --> 00:41:57,239
is her name Anna best girl.

885
00:41:57,519 --> 00:42:01,519
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, I agree with you guys. She Monetta is

886
00:42:01,519 --> 00:42:04,360
definitely better than Knakotan. It's just ten times better, ten

887
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:05,039
times funnier.

888
00:42:05,039 --> 00:42:07,079
Speaker 2: I don't think ten times a little crazy.

889
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:11,199
Speaker 1: Okay, probably not ten times, but let's say maybe five times.

890
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:13,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, six point nine times, yeah.

891
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:13,360
Speaker 2: Something like that.

892
00:42:13,599 --> 00:42:17,199
Speaker 1: Six yeah, six. I like that number, Jordan, thank you,

893
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:22,159
thank you. Six point nine times funnier. But anyways, yeah inspired.

894
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:23,400
Speaker 3: Me, you know, like it was. If it was any

895
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:25,800
other anime besides shim Netta, I wouldn't have made that joke.

896
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:30,400
Speaker 1: She moves forward and the deer takes a drained down

897
00:42:30,519 --> 00:42:35,159
hill unfortunately. But now we are onto the semi finals.

898
00:42:35,519 --> 00:42:39,519
On the right fucking on the left hand side, we

899
00:42:39,679 --> 00:42:46,679
have Ilia Fakekale Prisma versus the Weakest Tamer began to Jordans.

900
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 2: Because the anime both kind of suck.

901
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 3: Oh god, this is kind of tough because both these

902
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:52,880
anime are pretty good.

903
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,480
Speaker 1: But you guys decide who moves on to the finals

904
00:42:55,519 --> 00:42:59,679
and we start now, so this is not crazy?

905
00:43:00,119 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 3: Oh good for it?

906
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:02,559
Speaker 2: No, go ahead towardan go ahead.

907
00:43:02,559 --> 00:43:04,159
Speaker 3: I'm fine. I was gonna say, now that you've seen

908
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:06,159
unlimited Blade works I know we're gonna wait till next

909
00:43:06,159 --> 00:43:07,599
week to kind of talk about it a little bit,

910
00:43:08,519 --> 00:43:10,559
but can we at least agree that Fate in general

911
00:43:10,639 --> 00:43:14,880
is pretty depressing, all right, Like Ilia and Ricon hasn't

912
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:16,360
seen Zero, so take this with a grain of salt.

913
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:18,800
I'm not gonna spoil anything from Zero, but like, Ilia

914
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:22,679
is a character we knew from pre previous to Unlimited

915
00:43:22,679 --> 00:43:25,440
Blade Works. We see her in the prequel, we see

916
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:28,400
her in Unlimited Blade Works, and then she doesn't get

917
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:30,119
too much screen time before she has like one of

918
00:43:30,159 --> 00:43:32,199
the most tragic deaths in the series. Like she just

919
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:35,960
is like kind of tortured a little bit as she dies, right,

920
00:43:36,079 --> 00:43:40,400
Like she's blinded Fate. Nobody's ever happy in Fate, but

921
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:42,360
for Ilia, Like, on top of those good fights we

922
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:44,400
talked about the slice of life moments. While they're just

923
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:46,559
kind of okay in their own right, it's the fact

924
00:43:46,559 --> 00:43:49,760
that we have characters that are just sad and depressed

925
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:52,559
in every other version of this series we ever see.

926
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:55,159
So I we got to see them happy for a

927
00:43:55,199 --> 00:43:57,239
little bit, right, There's something about that that's heartwarming.

928
00:43:57,719 --> 00:43:59,280
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, I think if you're a fan of the

929
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:02,159
other Fates, could watch it, and there's there's something to

930
00:44:02,199 --> 00:44:04,079
appreciate exactly.

931
00:44:04,199 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, so like I thought of just being like a

932
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:09,840
you know, probably a pretty average Majos show Joe Anime,

933
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:10,639
I assume.

934
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:10,760
Speaker 2: Like it was.

935
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:13,360
Speaker 3: It was that, plus we could see Ilia happy for

936
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:17,159
a bit. So I'm a vote Ilia. That's my vote.

937
00:44:17,159 --> 00:44:19,440
But they're both pretty good. I did like Tamers.

938
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:28,559
Speaker 2: I wish I could remember Tamers more detailed.

939
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:27,920
Speaker 1: By her parents because she was starless and then she

940
00:44:28,639 --> 00:44:32,199
was forced to roam around outside scavenging trash to try

941
00:44:32,199 --> 00:44:34,880
and survive and make some money. And she finds a

942
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:38,039
little slime creature and she befriends. It turns out that

943
00:44:38,079 --> 00:44:42,199
slime creature is super rare, and uh yeah, she meets

944
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:44,320
new friends and ship like that and she gets help

945
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:46,559
and really it was really cute.

946
00:44:47,039 --> 00:44:49,440
Speaker 3: I like, right now he's like, I don't want to

947
00:44:49,519 --> 00:44:50,519
vote for Relia again.

948
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:54,519
Speaker 1: And it has of course amazing visuals as well the

949
00:44:54,519 --> 00:44:55,159
weakest Tamer.

950
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:57,800
Speaker 2: It was cute. It was really cute. I like the vibe,

951
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:00,440
I like the atmosphere. I think I'm gonna to vote

952
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:03,039
for Elia here. And it's funny because I do think

953
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:07,079
I really said I hated Ilia on the podcast, but

954
00:45:07,159 --> 00:45:10,239
I also hated I hate Apographa, so maybe I'm using

955
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:12,519
that the word I'm also using. I might be using

956
00:45:12,559 --> 00:45:14,480
the word hate a little bit too liberally here, or

957
00:45:14,519 --> 00:45:17,519
a little bit too like loosely, because the apographer is gonna

958
00:45:17,559 --> 00:45:18,920
end up being good, and there was a lot of

959
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:21,280
things with Apographa, with the animation that were good, and

960
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:23,119
like some of the dialog and the fight scenes. It

961
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:25,039
just like, I'm not invested yet, so it's pressing me off.

962
00:45:25,079 --> 00:45:26,599
I kind of hate it, but I'm made that I'm

963
00:45:26,679 --> 00:45:28,559
using it a little strongly, and I think the same

964
00:45:28,559 --> 00:45:31,480
thing kind of happened with Elia, where I didn't like it,

965
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:34,400
but there's some good things about it. So I guess

966
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:40,679
I'm gonna vote for Elia. I guess it's so Possablelia.

967
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:41,119
Speaker 3: I could see you grasping at Straw's there. You're like,

968
00:45:41,159 --> 00:45:43,639
remind me something about Tam or anything about Tam, give

969
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:44,559
me something.

970
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 1: That is indeed a very shocking surprise that Ilia made

971
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:54,079
it to the finals. Yeah, I would have voted for uh,

972
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:57,159
the weakest Tamer, but Ilia moves on and the weakest

973
00:45:57,159 --> 00:46:01,280
Tamer is unfortunately so weak that she died in the show.

974
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:04,920
And then we're moving on to these semi No she

975
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:08,480
didn't die. No, no, no, no, no, no, I haven't finished. Oh

976
00:46:08,559 --> 00:46:11,559
my god, no no she doesn't. But we're moving on

977
00:46:11,679 --> 00:46:15,559
to the semi finals. For the right side, we have

978
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:20,320
Gamers versus Simonetta. Take it away, lads.

979
00:46:22,559 --> 00:46:23,639
Speaker 3: Both comedy anime.

980
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:28,840
Speaker 2: I'm I don't really like gamers that much. I guess

981
00:46:29,199 --> 00:46:32,800
it was good. It was okay, Jordan, you know what

982
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:33,159
to do.

983
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:36,679
Speaker 3: Gamers had a lot of references and stuff. Those are fun,

984
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:38,440
right you go through the opening, You're like, I know

985
00:46:38,559 --> 00:46:41,280
that game, I know what that game's referencing. It was

986
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:44,199
just a love letter to gaming. But it was Noetta.

987
00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:46,079
You know, Simonetta is one of those that proves true

988
00:46:46,119 --> 00:46:52,679
time and time again. You know. It's very anti authoritarian

989
00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:55,039
and it's messaging, but also just very funny with a

990
00:46:55,079 --> 00:46:57,800
lot of dick jokes, like rapid speed dick jokes, and

991
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:01,320
so it managed to make it funny, right, Like there's

992
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:04,079
time where I wasn't laughing. I was more so just confused.

993
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:07,840
But like, if you keep rapidspiring that many jokes back

994
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:10,199
to back to back, eventually you're gonna laugh. And that's

995
00:47:10,199 --> 00:47:12,159
what it That's what it did. To me, I felt

996
00:47:12,199 --> 00:47:14,679
like it bullied me into finding it funny, So I'm

997
00:47:14,679 --> 00:47:17,880
gonna go Shimonetta Shimonetta for me as well.

998
00:47:18,679 --> 00:47:20,920
Speaker 1: That sucks because I would have voted for Gamers, and

999
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:23,639
Gamers would have gone up if you were with me, Jordan.

1000
00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:29,079
But Umfortunately with that being said, Gamers, the club disbandoned

1001
00:47:29,559 --> 00:47:31,679
and they all went their separate ways and they're no

1002
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:34,880
longer gamers. So that means Shimonetta moves on to the

1003
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:40,119
final round against Fate Khalid, Ilia Persma. That is gonna

1004
00:47:40,119 --> 00:47:43,440
be one epic battle. Who do you guys think is

1005
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:46,119
the winner of my anime bracket?

1006
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:46,440
Speaker 2: So?

1007
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:46,679
Speaker 3: Wait?

1008
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:49,400
Speaker 2: Is it Ilia versus Shimonetta? Is that what happened? Yep,

1009
00:47:49,559 --> 00:47:55,039
yep Ilia versus Shrimonetta. Which is hilarious because for a

1010
00:47:55,079 --> 00:47:57,559
recund bracket, we have an anime that I said I

1011
00:47:57,599 --> 00:48:00,360
hated and an anime that I dropped after six apisodes.

1012
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:04,719
Speaker 3: You dropped Shimnetta after six episodes.

1013
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:05,400
Speaker 2: I didn't finish it.

1014
00:48:06,119 --> 00:48:07,880
Speaker 1: Wow, he said it.

1015
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:09,480
Speaker 3: Fell off towards the end. I means he fell off

1016
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:11,079
after like the best episodes where and.

1017
00:48:11,639 --> 00:48:14,800
Speaker 2: I think five and six. I'm like, okay, is this

1018
00:48:15,119 --> 00:48:17,119
kind of starting to get old? Maybe even a little

1019
00:48:17,119 --> 00:48:19,360
bit of gross for me, because there's a few scenes.

1020
00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:20,800
I don't want to watch this.

1021
00:48:21,159 --> 00:48:24,840
Speaker 3: I felt that way during like the last episode, come

1022
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:28,039
on Chat and power throwing that ship.

1023
00:48:29,199 --> 00:48:32,199
Speaker 2: No, both of these are kind of all right, I'm

1024
00:48:32,199 --> 00:48:34,559
gonna vote. Uh, why don't you go first? And you

1025
00:48:34,639 --> 00:48:37,199
kind of like both of these shows, Jordan, I do.

1026
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:41,079
Speaker 3: Like both of these shows, but oh, that's why I

1027
00:48:41,079 --> 00:48:42,840
don't want to go first those it feels like bullying.

1028
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:47,400
Speaker 1: You will you watch them both, Jordan? You you watched

1029
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:50,480
the Manetta and a lot of Ilia, So, like.

1030
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:53,039
Speaker 3: I will say, she Wanetta kind of there's a lot

1031
00:48:53,039 --> 00:48:54,800
of seasons. I haven't seen a video yet. I have

1032
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:57,480
heard it like continues to go and it. I've seen

1033
00:48:57,519 --> 00:48:59,719
some trailers for the movies that came out recently, and

1034
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:03,360
they look really high quality, really good. Shimanetta kind of

1035
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:04,800
wore me out a little bit by the end, I

1036
00:49:05,039 --> 00:49:07,280
will say, I kind of felt that same way like

1037
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:09,840
I was. I had to take multiple sit downs to

1038
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:12,360
actually kind of get through it. And then, uh, like

1039
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:14,360
I said, those last few episodes, I wasn't quite laughing

1040
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:16,679
as much anymore. I was just kind of ready to

1041
00:49:16,679 --> 00:49:19,079
to be over and done with it with it. But

1042
00:49:19,079 --> 00:49:22,679
but I did finish it Ilia. I watched through all

1043
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:26,280
at once, and it never really slowed down for me.

1044
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:28,559
Like I said, it kind of goes back and forth

1045
00:49:28,599 --> 00:49:33,000
between Slice of Life comedy esque versus like epic fights

1046
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:35,719
and like actual kind of serious stuff going on. So

1047
00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:40,280
like the uh jaggering, that back and forth kind of

1048
00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:44,719
kept my interest. So I'm gonna go with Ilia. Surprisingly enough, no,

1049
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:47,679
that wasn't like a true recon recommendation, but I think

1050
00:49:47,679 --> 00:49:49,159
I might go Ilia over she Wanetta.

1051
00:49:49,679 --> 00:49:56,199
Speaker 2: Well, Well, well, I won't dreamt. It comes down to, oh, well,

1052
00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:58,800
looks like I decide the faith.

1053
00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:06,719
Speaker 1: The fatal Let's see, either I chose I. Either I

1054
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:11,199
chose a funny anime that I really really really liked,

1055
00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:15,440
or I chose I choose a magical girl anime.

1056
00:50:16,639 --> 00:50:17,679
Speaker 3: It is tough.

1057
00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:19,719
Speaker 1: It is with a lot of yuri and a lot

1058
00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:23,480
of uh, you know, affects an action by Studio Vodable

1059
00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:24,039
and ship like that.

1060
00:50:24,119 --> 00:50:28,000
Speaker 3: But yeah, actually it was actually Silverlink. I think as

1061
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:29,239
far as studio goes like it was not.

1062
00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:32,000
Speaker 1: What was that silver Link? I completely forgot.

1063
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:34,559
Speaker 3: It could have fooled me, Like it actually looked decent

1064
00:50:34,599 --> 00:50:35,559
for those fights.

1065
00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:39,800
Speaker 1: Anyways, for me personally, I'm going to choose.

1066
00:50:44,039 --> 00:50:44,840
Speaker 3: I tried, I tried.

1067
00:50:45,519 --> 00:50:46,719
Speaker 2: With the winds.

1068
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:51,159
Speaker 3: Gentleman bracket is a little trash, okay, I tried. I tried.

1069
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:54,920
Speaker 1: And with that, ladies and gentlemen, Gilgamesh comes flying down,

1070
00:50:55,360 --> 00:50:59,599
summons one thousand swords through a portal, piercing Ilia, and

1071
00:50:59,679 --> 00:51:03,920
she dies, which means that Simonetta is the winner of

1072
00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:06,800
my anime bracket. Cool, what do you guys think?

1073
00:51:08,079 --> 00:51:13,199
Speaker 3: I think we're in the middle of the fade arc

1074
00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:14,199
boys and the fade Animal.

1075
00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:20,199
Speaker 1: Honestly, I genuinely knew that if Immortal Immortal King or

1076
00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:22,360
Help would have stayed, they would have gone so far,

1077
00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:23,880
probably even to the finals.

1078
00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:28,400
Speaker 3: But yeah, I expected the right side of the bracket

1079
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:30,079
to go completely differently. I thought it'd be like with

1080
00:51:30,159 --> 00:51:32,119
Storia versus Helth Like I thought I'd be the only

1081
00:51:32,119 --> 00:51:35,559
gamers dude, and then uh I figured after that like

1082
00:51:36,519 --> 00:51:39,440
she wantta. I did expect to go on, but I

1083
00:51:39,519 --> 00:51:41,400
thought Wastoria would win that right side of the bracket.

1084
00:51:42,559 --> 00:51:45,440
Speaker 2: Lord Lord Rio needs to make this bracket next time

1085
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:46,440
for Jordan.

1086
00:51:47,159 --> 00:51:51,000
Speaker 1: Honestly, I think Briggs should probably take the bracas next time.

1087
00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:54,199
Speaker 3: I'll send you the list of the ones I recommended.

1088
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:56,000
Speaker 2: But then again, it's hard to predict. You don't know

1089
00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:58,039
what people are gonna do, what people are gonna like.

1090
00:51:58,199 --> 00:52:00,599
What I tried to do a little bit is usually

1091
00:52:01,079 --> 00:52:04,840
make the first rounds either very similar in anime or

1092
00:52:05,519 --> 00:52:11,000
very uneven in scale of of of like their like,

1093
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:13,559
how good I think they are. So by my top

1094
00:52:13,639 --> 00:52:16,519
four to like six picks, I try and separate for

1095
00:52:16,519 --> 00:52:19,480
the most part, which is pretty pretty rigo.

1096
00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:23,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess I should probably take the quality into

1097
00:52:23,199 --> 00:52:25,000
account little bit more. I always go like themes, so

1098
00:52:25,039 --> 00:52:27,400
like the bottom left is all the EA guys. Top

1099
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:29,440
left we got the MAJO show jos against each other

1100
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:33,239
and a lot of comedies over on the right side.

1101
00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:36,199
But the last you know, it is what it is.

1102
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:37,000
It is what it is.

1103
00:52:39,039 --> 00:52:42,880
Speaker 1: We're gonna do your hopefully we do your bracket at

1104
00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:43,559
some point as well.

1105
00:52:43,679 --> 00:52:45,960
Speaker 2: Jordan, Yeah, so I think next week we're gonna aim

1106
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:49,880
to talk about Fate Day Night, Unlimited Blade works, and

1107
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:52,400
if you want to start watching Zero, you're welcome to

1108
00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:56,280
recon Fate zero. Phase zero is my favorite Fate of

1109
00:52:56,320 --> 00:52:58,880
all time. Also, it's very funny to me that the

1110
00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:01,239
two fates that I've liked, to least are the two

1111
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:05,639
that Ricon likes so far, Helia and Apocrypha. Fate zero

1112
00:53:05,679 --> 00:53:07,719
is really good. I hope you enjoyed unlimited Blade works.

1113
00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:09,559
We'll get into that in the next one.

1114
00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:12,760
Speaker 1: Me it was okay, we'll get well, I'm not gonna

1115
00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:14,599
say it. Yeah, yeah, I'm not gonna say anything right.

1116
00:53:14,519 --> 00:53:16,679
Speaker 2: Now, next time me and Jordan.

1117
00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:18,760
Speaker 3: But you know, it's good.

1118
00:53:18,880 --> 00:53:21,000
Speaker 2: We need to at least get through half of Apocrypha.

1119
00:53:21,159 --> 00:53:23,320
We need to watch at least halfway through, so like

1120
00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:25,159
our goal should be passing home.

1121
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:27,800
Speaker 3: I'll try to watch as much as possible, at least

1122
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:31,039
twelve episodes. But but I could see it being all right,

1123
00:53:31,119 --> 00:53:33,719
it's I hope it gets better. I will say, it's

1124
00:53:33,719 --> 00:53:36,079
weird to me that like Ricon's seen like Ilia An

1125
00:53:36,079 --> 00:53:39,519
Apocrypha and then like not the main Fate series prior

1126
00:53:39,559 --> 00:53:42,440
to that, because like even watching Apocrypha, part of what

1127
00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:45,480
I've enjoyed about it is like noticing characters from the

1128
00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:47,760
other Fate series, even if it's an alternative universe, Like

1129
00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:53,360
just seeing characters I recognize, right, it's fun like Hiro

1130
00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:53,920
and whatnot.

1131
00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:58,199
Speaker 2: You know, it's yep. Anyway, guys, I hope everyone enjoyed

1132
00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:01,679
this pep oh, this pet, this podcast, this episode of

1133
00:54:01,679 --> 00:54:04,800
the Rand Cafe anime podcast. Next week we're doing the

1134
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:07,000
Fate stuff and we'll see you all next time.

1135
00:54:08,440 --> 00:54:10,679
Speaker 3: Later, everybody bite sick.
