Speaker 1: What is up, ladies and gentlemen, Welcome back to the
Rand Cafe. That's right, I'm your host, Anime Recon, and
today we are doing once again an anime bracket, this
time featuring my shows that I've recommended to the boys.
Right here with me, I've got, of course, the host,
the main man himself, Brigs from All Day Anime or
from All Day Anime.
Speaker 2: So next week we're gonna be talking about fat Apocrypha
and Fate Day Night Unlimited Blade Works, giving you our
thoughts on that. But in the meantime, giving us some
time to watch the episodes, we're doing a bracket on
everything that Recon has recommended thus far in the last
four to six months of us doing this. Whatever he's
made us watch all the trash, we're gonna rank it
and come up with the best one. George Cool joining
us today as well. Sorry, I'm taking your job, Recon.
Go go go go finish your reads.
Speaker 1: No, it's fine, it's fine. And we have Jordan of course,
the anime dude.
Speaker 3: Hello, what's up everybody? Happy to be here here with
the host Ricon with all his great recommendations here, you know,
peak anime. I figured this will be fun to talk about.
I'm excited for this.
Speaker 1: One exactly pretty much. I'm expecting those two to be
doing most of the talking because you know, I recommended
those shows and I just want to hear their thoughts
and you know, pretty much see who is the winner
of this bracket. So I'm excited to dive in. Are
you guys ready to rumble?
Speaker 2: I'm ready.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm ready. I'm ready.
Speaker 1: Amazing energy from you too. I look anyways, I was
born ready.
Speaker 2: I just rolled up to bed like five minutes and
I'm hungover.
Speaker 1: We are starting off with gushing over Magical Girls versus
Fate Khalid, Ilia Prisma. What do you guys think?
Speaker 2: They're both pretty bad? But which one's less worse?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 3: God, don't go there? Are you saying this one's close? Breaks?
Speaker 2: This is I'm this is gonna come down to ricon.
I know which one you're voting for, Jordan, I.
Speaker 3: Mean, Ilia has a chance to win this bracket if
we're being hones like those.
Speaker 2: Let's just I'm the best, dude. I'm voting for gushing, Dude,
I'm voting for gushing over magical Girls.
Speaker 3: Ironically, mahos Shojo BDSM is beating out an epic fate
battle between Saber Alter and and Archer Ilia, Like this
is this is crazy.
Speaker 2: This is to be fair, I think I only fully
watched two to three episodes of of Ilia, but I
think I only watched two to three episodes of of
Majo Shojo Magical Girls, so it's a fair battle. They
both suck, don't get me wrong, They're both They're both
something that I don't really want to finish.
Speaker 1: As expected.
Speaker 3: I will say, like I said, Eli was just kind
of okay over overall, I'd probably give it like a
six or seven, but just in the middle of the
first season, having the balls to just have like Saber
Alter appear out of nowhere when they're already tired. It
goes for like three episodes and at the very end
of that we get like an unlimited Blade Works type
Archer transformation recon has finished it now, so I can
say that, like Ilia turns into Archer, brings out ex Caliber,
and we get like an ex Caliber versus ex Caliber finish,
Like it was a good fight.
Speaker 2: Okay, that does sound amazing and it does make me
want to watch more.
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna go with Ilia gushing over Magical Girls
wasn't bad though I didn't. I gave it more shit
on the podcast, but than I probably needed to because
it again knows what it is.
Speaker 2: It it owned it.
Speaker 3: It was pretty funny and pretty good at what it did.
But I'm gonna go with Ilia for this one.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: I pretty much already have a winner for this one,
to be honest, because I'm the last one.
Speaker 2: To vote ricon who would you vote for?
Speaker 1: I honestly I would go for gushing over Magical Girls.
That would get my vote over Ilia. I just enjoyed
gushing over Magical Girls. I finished it completely. I didn't
finish Ilia because I stopped on whatever season, but I
enjoyed gushing over Magicals a lot. It has insanely good etchy.
That's what it pretty much all is about. It's just
full on etchy and full on masochism and shit like that.
But it's it's just, you know, exciting, That's what I
can say. It's exciting. You know.
Speaker 3: Wasn't it an episode of Rank Cafe that you learned
what BDSM was or something?
Speaker 2: I think?
Speaker 1: So, oh ship, we actually we tripped the Yeah, when
when was that? When was that.
Speaker 2: Years ago?
Speaker 3: Its back when Ama was writing the light novel or
oh yeah.
Speaker 1: It was Adamac actually who told me about the BDSM
band or whatever.
Speaker 3: Oh gosh.
Speaker 2: Anyways, I was kind of leaning towards Gotching over Magical Girls,
but I didn't place my vote just because I feel
like it knows what it is, and it's like, I
feel like if you're a fan of that genre, you
might enjoy it. However, this is my choice, and at
the end of the day, while I don't really want
to finish either, I'd be more likely to finish Ilia
because I am a fan of Fate and some of
the stuff that you've talked about Jordan is enticing or
is does make me want to watch a little bit
more at the very least, and I know that the
Fates usually tend to have a slow start. The first
handful of episodes tend to not be the best, and
they usually get better and better as time goes on.
With Fate other than zero zero just a banger throughout,
I'll vote for Elia.
Speaker 1: I'll vo for Elia, okay, all right, and that ladies
and gentlemen, Alia moves on to the next round.
Speaker 3: I will say I probably over hype it up a
little bit, all right, I'm just I'm naturally biased, Like
it's the the guy that did the uh the screenplay
and stuff for it or or a lot of the
production stuff is the same writer that did like rand
Blue and and Baka do tests, so like his style
of comedy is also in there.
Speaker 1: So it's not gonna lie. I am disappointed with that
from you. It's also really gone lost.
Speaker 2: Elia is technically not Recon's pick, like it is. It
kind of was, but it's not like really.
Speaker 1: No, when you got.
Speaker 3: Thirteen natural picks for Recon and then like we have
that's what this is what he'd seen prior, and he
like threw it out there for the face.
Speaker 2: It was like you said it was thirteen natural picks
that when we were doing the recommendations, and then when
we made you watch a fade anime, we're like, which
one should we watch and you're like, yeah, I just
watched Elia next, so it kind of is it kind
of is it kind of it just wasn't. It wasn't.
It wasn't on one of the weeks where we were
all recommending a show, but yes, continue, but it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: But anyways, next round, we have the King's avatar, one
of my personal favorite Donghua Chinese anime versus the good
old classic Strike the Blood. What are your takes on this? Boys?
Speaker 3: This is definitely a recon bracket.
Speaker 2: I will say that can I choose neither?
Speaker 1: You have to choose one.
Speaker 3: I I love them both at this I didn't really
think about the fact that I have to vote for
one when I threw this bracket together, and be honest said,
the King's Avatar had some good silent moments of like
just quiet ambiance where there's you know, a little bit
of a soft ost, like just backgrounds, and you know,
you if you just had that, like you're kind of
at peace for a bit, and then Strike the Blood.
It was also a show, like you could tell it
was kind of ambitious. It's based on a lot of
light novels, so there's a lot of lore. They're actually
setting some stuff up. But whether it's good or not,
you know, that's a whole nother thing.
Speaker 2: I absolutely hated King's Avatar, like with a passion is.
It bothered me and pissed me off. But maybe it
still might be better than The Vampire than then whatever the
other one, the Vampire Strike the Blood.
Speaker 3: I think I'm gonna vote for Strike the Blood, because
like I could at least see myself trying to give
those light novels like a try for one volume or something,
whereas King's Avatar, I'm not gonna lie. I really did
hate it. I couldn't get a man.
Speaker 1: You guys are so salty on Chinese animated jeez.
Speaker 2: The question for me is do I vote for something
that I was bored with Strike the Blood, or do
I go for something that I absolutely hated and pissed
me off King's Avatar.
Speaker 3: They do say that you know, love and hate or
sides of the same coin, whereas like the opposite would
be like neutrality, right.
Speaker 1: Breaks you stopped and Strike the Bloog breaks. I remember
you stopped at such a crucial moment when Kojo was
stabbed trying to save trying to save his girl, and
you didn't even move on to the next episode to
see his awesome power.
Speaker 2: I think that you scrapped it. I think that's why
I need to go with King's Avatar, even though I
genuinely disliked how they went about the story in so
many ways, Like it's just like the ultimate I'm always
flexing on you, I'm always the best I do everything
with these type of thing and it's just like so
cringe the way they actually did it. Like, don't get
me wrong with with Japanese animation, there's a lot of
like over the top flexing, I'm strong off the bat
blah blah blah. But the way that they presented it
even more dramatically in King's Avatar just annoyed me even more.
But again it was just part.
Speaker 3: There was a slide appeal to that, like have you
ever sat there, Like I said, you're scrolling through shorts
you see, like those K dramas that are like way
over dramatic, And it had a little bit of that
aesthetic too, because like my favorite point is still everybody
like stopping and taking a moment like as a community,
just as a country, like when he retired and like
they all started to cry over the top like that.
That'll just stick with me, Okay, I don't care how
many other anime I watched it, Like they all stopped
and shed a tear in that moment and then everybody clapped.
It was like it was like a reddit thing, but
like it actually happened right in the anime.
Speaker 2: It's crazy, bro, It's it's This is a tough one
because but I think I actually have to go with
King's Avatar just because at least like it looked pretty
good at times. It did have some badass moments, and
even though I genuinely disliked it, I'd probably rather continue
to watch something I dislike than something I just didn't
want to watch the next episode of out of sheer boredom.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's fair. At least now recon gets to choose,
you know, Now you give me to decide which one
of these is.
Speaker 1: The fun fact? The fun fact The King's Avatar is
getting a fourth season very soon. Is that popular? It's
getting more season. But they're both really good shows for
me personally. They both have great visuals. Even for Strike
to Blood, it was old, but it's such a classic,
but it has really good visuals. Same with The King's Avatar.
But for me, I would vote for The King's Avatar.
It is so damn good. I love the action. I
love the overpowered protagonist who pretends to be a weakling
with a low level of character and he just flexes
on everybody like, oh I'm the strongest. Yeah, it's just
like it's awesome. I love this smurfing. He's smurfing. Basically,
I love it when people well, yeah, King's Avatar easily
has my votes, and with that, King's Avatar moves on
to the next round.
Speaker 2: On that note, I think that means I voted wrong. Jordan,
my bad, too bad.
Speaker 3: You can't all good, you know. I knew that one
to be a toss up. I honestly didn't want to
vote for either. I figured I'd vote for the one
you were least likely to vote for, so that way
we all at least get a vote there. It worked out.
Speaker 1: Up coming next, we have another good show. The Weakest
Tamer began a journey to pick up Trash, which is
an Isachai and it's going up against I know Briggs
is gonna hate this one. It is my instant death
ability is so overpowered. Nobody in the other world stands
a chance against me. What do you guys think?
Speaker 2: Can I start off with this?
Speaker 3: Yeah, go for it, go ahead.
Speaker 2: I just want to say that Maarphone was the worst
anime I had ever completed. I think the instant death
Ability is the worst anime that I've ever dropped. So
you don't like I don't even remember the Tamer one.
I don't even remember the tamer One. I'm gonna vote
for the tamer One just because I if you offered
me like a thousand dollars right now to finish the
instant death ability, I'd have to ponder.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 3: You know, you know, I did make like the bottom
left of this mostly like the Isakai side of the bracket,
because these are like the only isakais that were really
uh that were really in this bracket, surprisingly enough, and
I liked the tame random. It was cute, It was
very like.
Speaker 1: It was very wholesome in some way.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's one of the Yeah, that's the whole.
It was pretty good, right, you'll.
Speaker 2: Vote for me, actually, let's go.
Speaker 3: Yeah awesome. So I like that one quite a bit.
And uh, my instant death ability is overpowered. Is when
I actually finished. I watched three episodes. First three episodes
were god awful. I kept going. It was still really bad,
but but I did finish it, and uh, it left
the bad taste in my mouth because it kept introducing
so many cute girls. You know, early on you might
remember from the first three episodes, it was a cute
cat girl. Yep, she had a couple of minutes of
screen time she dies, like later on there's like a
cute bunny girl, a couple of minutes of screen time
time she dies, and it just repeated like the one
of the biggest sins in anime right there, right, like
these characters that had so much potential, so much.
Speaker 2: Like I blanked out of my mind. I can't remember
the show that well. I remember coming on the podcast
and being like, this is smartphone level of cringe.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Paymer is so much better, Tamer so much better.
But yes, I'm voting Tamer as well. But I did
finish is Overpowered, and I would watch the season two.
I will say that or what it's worth.
Speaker 1: Nice good stuff. I would have, honestly, to tell the truth,
God that I would have voted for uh minds and
death Ability because I love the the overpowered protagonist who
has the potential or not not potential, but has a
shot of destroying Cytoma and Goku if they were in
the same world, because oh he has to do is
just say die and then they're gonna die no matter what.
Speaker 3: Yeah, power scaling wise, he is number one.
Speaker 1: I can't power scaling wise, he is probab probably the
most broken anime character I have ever fucking seen no joke.
But with that being said, uh, the weakest Tamer moves
on to the next round. And then on the final
left side of the bracket we have yonder a dark
Elf versus a literal trash. Can what do you guys think?
Speaker 3: So I will say I initially put the literal trash
in there. As you know, I was like, this could
be there for the by round, right, like it could
be there to make sure a good anime goes on.
And I was gonna put it against Tamer because you know,
a Tamer goes and picks up trash. And then I
thought about you too, and I was like, there's a
slight chance, a non zero chance, that Trash wins against Tamer,
and that was going to make me sad. So I
went ahead and put it against yonderay dark Elf.
Speaker 2: Instead, I would have probably voted trash over or instant
death ability.
Speaker 3: Okay, dark Ill you know, it's all right. At least
I like dark el.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like dark Elves. I guess that's enough to
make it go by against little Trash. Maybe maybe.
Speaker 3: I'm also gonna go vote for the yonder A Dark Elf.
You know, I put this in here for a buy
around and a bunch of deserved one for it. Uh yeah,
I only watched a few episodes, but I liked it.
I liked it. You know, it knew what it was,
it owned it, and it did it did it so
it was fun.
Speaker 2: It was fun.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Uh, Now I am saying we're missing an opportunity here.
Literal trash could have won this whole bracket, and that
would have revolutionized the whole bracket genre.
Speaker 2: But I know I would. I would have intility is
worse than trash, Like it's it's beyond that level of trash.
Could trash could have went pretty far if once we
get the meme going, yeah, okay.
Speaker 1: I would have probably voted for Honestly, Beyandre a dark elf.
She's just pretty much you're not really missing out on
anything if you decided to not watch past three episodes.
But it's pretty much the same damn generic shit. But
she's just hot. That's why I would with that.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 1: And with that, the Dark Elve moves on to the
next round. And now we're moving on to the right
side of the bracket. And first we have Wistorias Wand
and Sword versus The Daily Life of The Immortal King,
another one of my favorite dong watches anime. What do
you guys think?
Speaker 2: Oh, this is actually a tough one. These are too
good anime.
Speaker 1: It is indeed tough. These are a very good anime,
both of them.
Speaker 2: I enjoyed the fuck out of both of these for
completely different reasons. I can't believe I'm saying this, but
the Wistoria Wand and Sword genuinely I have wanted to
keep on watching. I should keep on watching. It was
a good start, good animation, good moments. I like the
main character, positive things to say. However, the uh, the
Immortal King one funny as fuck, so funny, so stupid,
but so funny. I liked it. I actually like, thoroughly enjoyed.
I watched more than I was supposed to for the
pot before the podcast.
Speaker 1: And you didn't continue it?
Speaker 2: Did you?
Speaker 1: You stopped?
Speaker 2: I know, I watched the entire first season.
Speaker 1: Oh way more to go, just.
Speaker 2: Not on stream, but I have watched the whole first season.
Speaker 1: Good, but you got way more.
Speaker 2: I rewatched most of it too.
Speaker 3: Mm hmm. I wasn't a big fan of The Immortal King.
When I'm to be honest, I did love Withistoria. And
the only reason I haven't finished with Storia is because
I saw that there was like a season two announced
and I'm really excited for that, so I didn't want
to like watch it, give it too much time, and
then like forget and have to rewatch it. So it
held off. But but I do love Wistoria so far.
It's the same author as uh As Don Machi, and
you can kind of tell but it it also has
like Wit Studios animation, so it just looks really pretty.
Speaker 1: Wait, it's the same author as Don Machi.
Speaker 3: I had no idea, yeah for the for the light novels.
Speaker 2: I realized I forgot to vote, so I'll let I'm
gonna get my voting before Jeordan, so you can make
your decision here. I'm gonna vote for Mortal King because
while I think with Storia had a strong start, I
do think it tapered off a little bit and I
maybe I didn't continue watching, probably just because I was
had a busy schedule, but I do want to watch
more versus The Mortal King. Not only did I watched
the first season, I almost rewatched the entire first season
again on stream. I liked it, so I'm gonna vote
for im Mortal King.
Speaker 3: Y'all know, I'm voting with Storia. Mortal King was like,
I just I don't know. I didn't really laugh, like
I know it was supposed to be funny. It was
like a one A single time. No, A couple of
times I did, a couple of times I did when
he walked it out of the like the hospital as
a baby, like right after she gave birth or whatever,
and uh and it was already like talking and whatnot,
Like that was pretty funny. But like father, I require
my diaper changed or whatever. I can't remember what the
lines were, but there was a couple of giggles in there.
But uh, but yeah, I don't know. It's it's like
I would rather watch One Punch Band season three, I think,
if I had to, if I had to choose, so
so with story A, yeah, it goes for you, U recon.
Speaker 1: I love both of these anime. Whistoria is one and
Sword season two is coming out in a twenty twenty six.
I'm very excited for that. And Immortal King surprisingly is
still ongoing and it's getting another season. Oh god, it
has like fucking six seven seasons right now. It is
crazy I'm going to keep up Imortal King. Dude, I'm
I might just rip that the whole next week. Fuck
Apocrypha also just one. I just I'm not gonna spoil
my overall thoughts on Apocrypha. While it looks amazing, I'm
not surprised it's Ricon's favorite because I'm hating it so far. Man,
you didn't like you don't like Astolfo.
Speaker 2: I'm only five episodes in. I don't see the appeal yet.
Speaker 1: Astolfo's the appeal. You don't like that?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't just like a character and then be
like I like the show now, Sorry, Racon.
Speaker 1: Huh interesting anyways? Uh for me, I will vote for
Immortal King. Oh, it's funny as fuck Overpowered Demon Lord.
It's just yeah, it's it's it's a big fucking parody
comedy show that I just really enjoy. It's it's just
well fucking made. So with that said, Immortal King moves
on to the next round, and unfortunately with Storia goes
down in the dumpster.
Speaker 3: Yeah, somebody else has got to start making these brackets
because we just had the King's Avatar and under a
Dark Elf move on to season or Yeah, in the
second round with story it did not.
Speaker 2: This is not your fault, Jordan, this is this is
the fault of Recon's anime picks.
Speaker 1: No, this is Jordan's fault. He's the one that put
this bracket together.
Speaker 2: You recommended this trash, dude.
Speaker 1: I recommended this all, but I'm not the one who
put each anime against each other. That's Jordan's job.
Speaker 2: I could already predict what's gonna win this bracket, and
I genuinely think it's gonna come down to the two shows.
It might come down to the two shows that were
like a half freakon recommendation and a kind of chat
and a kind of chat recommendation. Out of sixteen picks,
the two that were kind of not yours are gonna
be in the bat in the finals. I'm calling it, man,
shut up, let's just keep going.
Speaker 1: Okay, next round, we have Help the Great Hercules strong
Man versus the show that I enjoy is Gamers. What
do you guys think?
Speaker 2: Help?
Speaker 1: Oh God, that was quick, just straight up quick like that,
No explanation, no nothing, how clears.
Speaker 2: Maybe I take it back, Maybe a single character can
carry a series. I lied like two seconds ago. Help
is just so funny, so entertaining. I absolutely loved it,
and I want to watch more. Gamers was just okay,
al right, it was okay. I don't dislike it, so.
Speaker 3: Help was really good. I do need to still watch
more of it. It like had a good blend of
like it was really really funny whenever it tried to
be like the gags genuinely did make me laugh, and
then uh, on that same front, you could tell it
was like setting up stuff that was like more serious
and like blending them together really well. I've heard great
things about the manga. It's already finished, so I know
it probably has a good ending. That being said, I'm
really biased. I really like Gamers. Gamers makes me laugh.
It's one of my nostalgic favorites that I watched seasonally.
I went in with very low expectations. I enjoyed it
more than I did, so.
Speaker 1: I even made a video about it.
Speaker 2: I did.
Speaker 3: I made a video on why you should watch Gamers
because I liked it so much. It's just underrated, right,
so i'd Gamers, but but it's tough. It's tough. I
could see it going either way. I'm just doing that
so recon can have that final say.
Speaker 1: Well, I pretty much have a clear winner. I'm just
going to pretty much vote for gamers.
Speaker 2: There is no cure in my opinion, how could have
won this entire bracket?
Speaker 3: That's the fun of a recon bracket break.
Speaker 1: Who Yeah, I love gamers gaming it's fun. I love
the characters. I love their interaction is so funny.
Speaker 2: Thought, how do you like gamers more than help?
Speaker 1: Look? Hellck is good, but I just really enjoyed gamers
a lot more if I finished health.
Speaker 3: There's a chance.
Speaker 1: Gamers is pretty much just it was just about gaming
at the beginning, and then slowly, slowly, about halfway through,
it's just becomes misunderstandings the anime, and I fucking loved it.
Speaker 3: The misunderstandings are funny. And then like also just the
self awareness of like how it set itself up. Like
I said, it sell itself up as like an esports
type anime in that first episode, and then like it
set up all these characters that had the main character energy,
all these crazy backstories, and then we never saw any
of those characters again, and we didn't do that. So
like it it was just a love story to gaming,
you know, and itself.
Speaker 1: Let's go and with that said, Hell goes on the
dumpster while Gamers proceeds the next round.
Speaker 3: Briggs not gamer enough, confirmed this crazy all.
Speaker 1: Right, get it now that this is gonna be a
good one. We have two insanely good comedy shows. We
have Gabriel Dropout and Chicoo. What do you guys think?
Mm hmm, this is gonna be tough. I don't know,
they're super good, both of them.
Speaker 3: They were both good. I Abriel Dropouts when I didn't finish,
and I could see myself actually finishing if I, uh,
you know, if I was in the mood for that
type of thing, and No Koton I did, so I
feel like I'm biased towards No Koton. But Nokoton kept
me on my toes like you would think it's very
you'd think it's very like, uh, you know, predictable, and
it is because it's just she's a deer but she's
also a girl, so she's like a deer girl and
there's so many jokes around that. But it was also funny.
I don't know, it kept going like above and beyond
on some of the gags. So uh, the finale was great.
Genuinely enjoyed it. I'm gonna go with nooton.
Speaker 2: Dude, I don't know what to vote for. I feel
like these are like tied. I think the super good
think of the I think I have to go with
no Koton because it's a little bit funnier. I guess
they had them. They had them good because of the
deer's in the background. I think I think that puts
it over the edge. The random bears and the random
deers in the backgrounds.
Speaker 3: It was like predictable, but it would keep you guessing
with stuff like that, right, Like I went in pretty
blind and so just like randomly seeing the deer, like
the gugs, Like I didn't expect it to go there. Right.
Speaker 2: There's one scene where she's bleeding so much out of
her head and she's like my knee and she's like,
I don't feel well. It was about to pass out,
and then put the band aid on her knees, like
I feel better now.
Speaker 3: The Boss music that was still epics of the Best.
Speaker 1: Man. She Naota was just it went so viral when
it when it was airing, the like the opening went viral.
The music is viral. The memes are so funny. I
think it's just it's just elevated itself a lot more
because of that than Gabriel drop Out. They're both great,
don't get me wrong, but I just think uh Kota
was a lot more fun. It was a lot more active,
you know.
Speaker 3: Towards the end, there was like a whole song that
was kind of like a Rocky training montage type thing,
but like they redid it in English and like Japanese.
It was like two different songs, and that whole sequence
was really fun too, So I appreciated that, all right.
Speaker 1: And with that said, Nkot moves moves up and Gabriel
drop I goes down. But next up we have all load.
We have she Monetta versus my girl Jahi. What do
you guys think?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean Ja was fun. But while the show
is the great JAHI will not be defeated, I wanted
to make sure that great JAHI would be defeated. Yeah,
she is so good. It was. It's probably the best
thing Ricon's recommended on this, if I'm being honest, like
it was.
Speaker 1: It was.
Speaker 3: It was peak.
Speaker 1: It was a.
Speaker 3: Classic that I had put off up till that point.
Speaker 1: I really didn't expect you both to actually like it
because it's just all about dirty jokes, unapologetic, but it's
but you guys certainly did.
Speaker 2: I will say there's some hilarious moments in Simonetta, and
I do like it, but I did start to lose
interest as time went by. I'm like, Okay, this is
starting to get old now, at least for me, really.
Speaker 3: That's fair. I was kind of over it by like
towards the very end. But at the same time, I
still found it like very funny on like a surface
level thing. And then also I enjoyed like the broader
message of the show, right, So it did both things
really well. And then there's just like so many puns
and like visual dick jokes that were just funny. So
have you guys ever seen like a stand up comedian
where like the jokes themselves are like kind of okay,
but like they're just rapid fire it right, That's that's
kind of sham wantta Like it would just throw out
so many jokes left right.
Speaker 2: Right, and it just it really caught me off guard
in the first couple episodes, Like some of the jokes
was just so unapologetic, so just in your face, I
don't give a fuck, not expected from an anime. And
like you would think I would get used to it,
and it took a while, Like it was like even
at three or there was moments where I'm like, oh
my god, did you just say that? Did that just happen?
Speaker 3: But then it is.
Speaker 1: Remember remember the first episode. I remember the first episode
when the girl said, cop the doodle mo pussa so bad?
Speaker 2: Anyway, let's go to the next round.
Speaker 1: All right, Moving on, ladies and gentlemen, Round two. Back
to the left side of the bracket. We have the
winners that have advanced Ilia Fake Khalid Prisma versus the
King's avatarar.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm sorry I hesitated there. I feel like that
was the in and of itself. Was was hesitating for
a second, but.
Speaker 2: Watchable, like I could watch more. I didn't love it,
but I could watch more. I didn't. I wasn't a
huge fan just because it was just not for me
per se.
Speaker 1: I feel like.
Speaker 3: I feel like Elia has those aspects to it that
are a little out there that like make a lot
of people probably feel that way where they go, yeah,
I'm just gonna stick away from that show, or like
it's probably not for me, but like at its core,
it is like you know, solid themes, very put together,
well enough, and it's like, like you said, very watchable
if nothing else and all the place.
Speaker 2: On the contrast, King's Avatar, I just like hated every
second of it for the most part, Like I absolutely
hated on it. It just killed me. It killed me
to watch.
Speaker 1: It's crazy that you would watch magical girls versus a
dope overpowered I would.
Speaker 2: Rather watch.
Speaker 3: You know what's funny, Recone is like, besides Magical Destroyers
and uh Medoka, I hadn't watched like any Magical Girl
shows through an entire season prior to, like prior to this,
so you know, thank you for you changed that for me.
You know, you gave me a magical show I guess
is slightly better than even King's Avatar, right, So it's great.
Speaker 2: So funny I exist in chat says King's Avatar is
smartphone life, and I don't think it's that far, but
that's a good comparison because with smartphone there's like a
problem will be brought up and then immediately solved with
no adversity, and I feel like that's kind of what
happens with King Avatar. There's there's there's a slight challenge
immediately solved, no adversity for the purpose of making our
main character look look good and look bad at.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because he already knows what to do because he's
done these books.
Speaker 3: He's like, I have mastery over every magic and pretty
much over this guy. So it's he.
Speaker 1: Hasn't done everything Briggs already, and he has already. He's
a master gamer and he's just starting over to flex
on everybody. So of course he knows the the you know,
the answer to all the problems.
Speaker 2: Definitely, it makes sense kind of for both, but it
just it does take away from it a little bit
with the execution because like, how do I say this?
With smartphone it's more annoying because they are fantasy world
where there should be some struggle. Obviously he's overpowered because
of whatever his ability is. A smartphone faces me off
because there's no adversity. It just immediately solved. But sometimes
you need to, like it makes the bad ass fory
better when there's a little bit of like tension in steaks.
Once you lose all the tension in stakes, it kind
of sucks unless it's funny like one punch Man. I
don't know King's Avatar is like it was it went
so out of its way to be cringe and it's
execution of showing off bad assy.
Speaker 1: You know. Pumpkin makes a good point in the chat.
He says Toya is broken because he got superpowers for nothing, obviously,
just like any other Isechai protagonist. But the King, dude,
the main character from The King's Avatar is strong because
he worked his way to the top to become the
ultimate best game.
Speaker 2: And then which is very sue and then he's smurfing,
so it is different, yes, and then he's there's a
reason why I watch smartphones like I'm the worst anime
ive ever watched. I wouldn't say King Davatar is that far.
It just like Bottom that's fair Bottom twenty Okay, it
had a very pretty background.
Speaker 1: So yeah, so I guess with that said, it's two
to one because I would have voted for King's Avatar easily.
So yeah, King's Avatar goes down and Ilia moves on
to the semi finals.
Speaker 3: Like Rebullian recon in his own bracket, this is.
Speaker 1: You really are, guys really are Next round, we have
the weakest tamer began a Judy to pick up trash
versus Yanda Da dark Elf. What do you guys think?
Speaker 2: Probably Tamor. It was cute. I like the vibe. The
pacing at times was a little rough. But Tamor is
just more more for me than dark Elf, I would say,
but I do like dark elves.
Speaker 3: Yeah, these are two very different shows, so I feel
like it would end on the mood. But uh, tamer
is a weird one because it almost felt like it
shouldn't be any Sakai, Like she didn't have actual memories
of her past life. There's just like a voice in
her head that like kind of remembers vague things from
her past life and would like have conver stations about it.
So morely she has like schizophrenia than like was a
Nissa Guai. But uh, yonder a dark Elf. It's a yonder.
It's a dark Elf. She's so cute.
Speaker 1: But crazy.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna well, but you know, I will say, just
shout out to the ander a dark Elf right like
it was.
Speaker 1: A shout out to all the fans. Shout out to
all the fans. Would like her, you but anyways, my
vote wouldn't even matter. I would have voted for dark
Out because she's hot and I love her so much.
But yeah, and with that said, dark Elf goes down
and and trash Tamer goes on to the next round,
onto the semi finals. But moving on now on back
to the right side of the bracket, we have the
Immortal King versus Gamers.
Speaker 3: Y'all already know my my vote brings all at you.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I don't really have to say. I don't
dislike gamers. I did like it.
Speaker 3: It just like the most subjective subject, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Immortal King made me laugh, you know, yep, noice,
it also made me laugh.
Speaker 3: Same gamers made me laugh. Immortal King didn't. So I'm
the vote gamers. It's up the ree gun on this one.
Speaker 1: Well, you guys already know my answer to that one,
and you do, of course, breaks, but my vote goes
to gamers.
Speaker 2: Oh it's not that good, guys, it's pretty inn good.
Speaker 3: You gotta remember Episode one starts out in the very
middle with no context, right, and they're just making funny faces.
And funny faces make me laugh, all right. There's something
about like that just flashes me back to when I
was like one or two and people were making funny
faces to make me laugh. Like that sticks with you, right,
you can't tell me funny faces aren't funny.
Speaker 1: Honestly, for me, Breaks Gamers is just more memorable than
Immortal King. It's just that the camera the characters in
Gamers I enjoyed more than Immortal King because more King
just throws out a bunch of random ship like yeah,
it's funny, it's it's good at the same time, but
it's just more memorable for me Gamers and that's why
I'm like, Plus, it's misunderstanding.
Speaker 2: Amazon himself like a bag of chips, mid like emergency,
and then there is this invisible guy that was charged up.
He's like, haha, he didn't see me, and he's like,
I see you. I don't know. I just the guys
have a comedy. I find so funny.
Speaker 1: It is funny. I like it, Like.
Speaker 2: Jordan's absolutely right, like comedy is just so subjective.
Speaker 3: It's just it's a tough one. A lot of these
are comedy anime, right, which is especially on the right
side of the bracket. They're almost all comedies as far
as besides wistoria for things.
Speaker 2: For example, the lowest rated One punch Man episode came
out last week. Lowest rated One punch Man. I think
it's the lowest rated rated episode of anime of all time.
I laughed like absurdly loud four to five times during
that episode, like genuine laughter, genuine enjoyment, even though it
there was no animation in the entire episode. No one
really moved. It was just it was his mouth that
flaps the entire episode, and people rated it like one
point five. And I think the hate train is is
kind of pushing it really down and people are hating
on it more than it deserves, while it deserves a
better adaptation. I just I enjoyed the episode. I actually
had a fantastic time with the episode.
Speaker 3: I don't think that's fair though, because people are hating
on the adaptation because there's like because it's such a
beloved source material, right and because like the animation isn't there,
so like that's the reason for the low score. But
the writing itself, like one's writing. He is a funny dude.
Like there's a lot of funny gags and one punch
Man and mop Psycho and whatnot, So it deserved.
Speaker 1: I think the bullying of the hate is deserved, but it's.
Speaker 2: Not though it's not. That was not a one point
five out of ten episode, right, like, like maybe it's deserved,
but it's being downloaded because people love the manga and
they love season one, right Like, if this is a
random episode of another anime, it would have probably got
a five or six out of ten.
Speaker 1: I see that. Unfortunately, I just don't think they're paying
the animators very well for this one. I don't know.
Speaker 3: It's scheduling, how much time they gave them the big
thing as well, right.
Speaker 2: Exactly, it's it's it's the usual thing. It's a new
I think that a new studio that's doing this like
really did like other jac stuff. I don't know, I
don't know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the thing is, I don't know how they do
other good anime like let's say Don Machi JC staff
amazing adaptation Don Macci, but then they give us this
trashy one punch Man adaptation, which it doesn't make any sense.
You know.
Speaker 3: It's like the really doesn't production schedule as far as
like what the producers decide and like what they get
investment forward and things like that.
Speaker 2: You would think they would have enough budget wise in
regards to like to get it done. Considering one Punch
maans On like a lot of like popular streaming platforms,
so I'm surprised there's no money for I could see
like scheduling constraints.
Speaker 3: I think there probably is a lot of scheduling. There's
a lot of it's usually a rush to get stuff
like that out. And then there's also and I'm not
the biggest expert on this, right, so I'm halfway speaking
out my ass, but there's also just the the thing
of they know it's probably gonna at least sell well,
and like they're gonna get like some sales for it
just because.
Speaker 1: It ain't selling. It ain't doing well.
Speaker 3: I know, But just generally speaking, if you're pushing out
like a sequel of something that's already popular, like that's
the reason, like a Blue Lock season two right gets
a treatment that's like less than season one or one
punch Man sequel season two and three, they're not necessarily
going to strive to get that same qualities in season
one because it already has fans, It already has a
fan base, Like they already know people are gonna watch
it right for one way or another, whereas with like
an original, you're trying to kind of prove yourself against
the other stuff.
Speaker 1: I highly doubt people would pay to watch this garbage.
That's why I just watched it illegally.
Speaker 3: Dude. I do think they pushed the grain, like what
they can get away with, right, Like people still like
Bluelock season two and like for a lot of that,
it's a lot of pg lock, right.
Speaker 2: I think you would be sorry to cut you off.
I think you would be surprised where you're going with
how many people are watching One punch Man and how
many people are going to watch it regardless because of
its name, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, I know. But in the end, the
JC staff or the people behind JC, the people behind
the animation, they're going to get all the hate and
the bullying, which for me is deserved because they're giving
us a horrible adaptation to one of the most beloved
series and they just need to, you know, take that
criticism with them back home. I don't think.
Speaker 2: I don't think the staff deserve it. Recon. I don't
think the staff deserve it. It's more the executives and
maybe the overarching company. But I do agree with I
do think all this hate is any if anything, is
drawing so much more attention to one to one Ben.
Speaker 3: I think there's a lot of issues with the current
anime industry and like how they manage those production schedules
or like how they try to push stuff out. But yeah,
I think a lot of that goes back to the
executives and whoever makes those decisions regarding the production, rather
than the animators themselves. So hopefully the animators don't catch
too much black because I'm sure like the schedules they're
working under are pretty constrained.
Speaker 2: At the end of the day, you can only put
out a product based on the amount of people you
have in the time you have working any amount of money, right, Yeah,
considering they've done good things in the past, I wouldn't.
I don't think. I think it's more of an overarching
company issue.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean you could take a good animator and
say give them as much money as you want to, say,
like make this within a week, and like if you're
only giving them a week and like that's not enough
time to do it, then.
Speaker 1: The most popular, the most popular meme from the New
One punch Man is the fucking Garro slide. If you
guys have seen that.
Speaker 3: Or you just slide down the hill, they're just fucking dragging.
Speaker 1: They're dragging a PNG downhill and then everybody is like
there are so many videos on YouTube. Is like people
are using AI to fix that, or they're doing it
better themselves, like jay Z staff Hire me, I can
do better.
Speaker 2: Yeah, anyways, we're going off track right now.
Speaker 3: Jeez, Daily Lives.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately the Mortal King is no longer immortal because he's mortal.
He's going to go downhill and Gamers moves up.
Speaker 2: I think next round, she was my favorite anime. Here
we're Helkin and Mortal King. Anyway, continue anyways, next round
we have.
Speaker 1: Versus shimon Etta. Take it away, guys.
Speaker 2: Hmmm, Simonnetta's probably better.
Speaker 3: It is. I do want to say these are at
least both shows I finished in their entirety after recon
recommended them.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: They were both pretty funny, They were both very enjoyable.
They both kind of kept me engaged. Simonetta is just
one of those where I feel like the quality is
up there and then it's just also a classic. I
was like ashamed, I hadn't hadn't watched up to that point, right,
like good surface level and then also good aside from that.
So yeah, Shimonetta all the way, and it has Anna
is her name Anna best girl.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, I agree with you guys. She Monetta is
definitely better than Knakotan. It's just ten times better, ten
times funnier.
Speaker 2: I don't think ten times a little crazy.
Speaker 1: Okay, probably not ten times, but let's say maybe five times.
Speaker 3: Yeah, six point nine times, yeah.
Speaker 2: Something like that.
Speaker 1: Six yeah, six. I like that number, Jordan, thank you,
thank you. Six point nine times funnier. But anyways, yeah inspired.
Speaker 3: Me, you know, like it was. If it was any
other anime besides shim Netta, I wouldn't have made that joke.
Speaker 1: She moves forward and the deer takes a drained down
hill unfortunately. But now we are onto the semi finals.
On the right fucking on the left hand side, we
have Ilia Fakekale Prisma versus the Weakest Tamer began to Jordans.
Speaker 2: Because the anime both kind of suck.
Speaker 3: Oh god, this is kind of tough because both these
anime are pretty good.
Speaker 1: But you guys decide who moves on to the finals
and we start now, so this is not crazy?
Speaker 3: Oh good for it?
Speaker 2: No, go ahead towardan go ahead.
Speaker 3: I'm fine. I was gonna say, now that you've seen
unlimited Blade works I know we're gonna wait till next
week to kind of talk about it a little bit,
but can we at least agree that Fate in general
is pretty depressing, all right, Like Ilia and Ricon hasn't
seen Zero, so take this with a grain of salt.
I'm not gonna spoil anything from Zero, but like, Ilia
is a character we knew from pre previous to Unlimited
Blade Works. We see her in the prequel, we see
her in Unlimited Blade Works, and then she doesn't get
too much screen time before she has like one of
the most tragic deaths in the series. Like she just
is like kind of tortured a little bit as she dies, right,
Like she's blinded Fate. Nobody's ever happy in Fate, but
for Ilia, Like, on top of those good fights we
talked about the slice of life moments. While they're just
kind of okay in their own right, it's the fact
that we have characters that are just sad and depressed
in every other version of this series we ever see.
So I we got to see them happy for a
little bit, right, There's something about that that's heartwarming.
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, I think if you're a fan of the
other Fates, could watch it, and there's there's something to
appreciate exactly.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so like I thought of just being like a
you know, probably a pretty average Majos show Joe Anime,
I assume.
Speaker 2: Like it was.
Speaker 3: It was that, plus we could see Ilia happy for
a bit. So I'm a vote Ilia. That's my vote.
But they're both pretty good. I did like Tamers.
Speaker 2: I wish I could remember Tamers more detailed.
Speaker 1: By her parents because she was starless and then she
was forced to roam around outside scavenging trash to try
and survive and make some money. And she finds a
little slime creature and she befriends. It turns out that
slime creature is super rare, and uh yeah, she meets
new friends and ship like that and she gets help
and really it was really cute.
Speaker 3: I like, right now he's like, I don't want to
vote for Relia again.
Speaker 1: And it has of course amazing visuals as well the
weakest Tamer.
Speaker 2: It was cute. It was really cute. I like the vibe,
I like the atmosphere. I think I'm gonna to vote
for Elia here. And it's funny because I do think
I really said I hated Ilia on the podcast, but
I also hated I hate Apographa, so maybe I'm using
that the word I'm also using. I might be using
the word hate a little bit too liberally here, or
a little bit too like loosely, because the apographer is gonna
end up being good, and there was a lot of
things with Apographa, with the animation that were good, and
like some of the dialog and the fight scenes. It
just like, I'm not invested yet, so it's pressing me off.
I kind of hate it, but I'm made that I'm
using it a little strongly, and I think the same
thing kind of happened with Elia, where I didn't like it,
but there's some good things about it. So I guess
I'm gonna vote for Elia. I guess it's so Possablelia.
Speaker 3: I could see you grasping at Straw's there. You're like,
remind me something about Tam or anything about Tam, give
me something.
Speaker 1: That is indeed a very shocking surprise that Ilia made
it to the finals. Yeah, I would have voted for uh,
the weakest Tamer, but Ilia moves on and the weakest
Tamer is unfortunately so weak that she died in the show.
And then we're moving on to these semi No she
didn't die. No, no, no, no, no, no, I haven't finished. Oh
my god, no no she doesn't. But we're moving on
to the semi finals. For the right side, we have
Gamers versus Simonetta. Take it away, lads.
Speaker 3: Both comedy anime.
Speaker 2: I'm I don't really like gamers that much. I guess
it was good. It was okay, Jordan, you know what
to do.
Speaker 3: Gamers had a lot of references and stuff. Those are fun,
right you go through the opening, You're like, I know
that game, I know what that game's referencing. It was
just a love letter to gaming. But it was Noetta.
You know, Simonetta is one of those that proves true
time and time again. You know. It's very anti authoritarian
and it's messaging, but also just very funny with a
lot of dick jokes, like rapid speed dick jokes, and
so it managed to make it funny, right, Like there's
time where I wasn't laughing. I was more so just confused.
But like, if you keep rapidspiring that many jokes back
to back to back, eventually you're gonna laugh. And that's
what it That's what it did. To me, I felt
like it bullied me into finding it funny, So I'm
gonna go Shimonetta Shimonetta for me as well.
Speaker 1: That sucks because I would have voted for Gamers, and
Gamers would have gone up if you were with me, Jordan.
But Umfortunately with that being said, Gamers, the club disbandoned
and they all went their separate ways and they're no
longer gamers. So that means Shimonetta moves on to the
final round against Fate Khalid, Ilia Persma. That is gonna
be one epic battle. Who do you guys think is
the winner of my anime bracket?
Speaker 2: So?
Speaker 3: Wait?
Speaker 2: Is it Ilia versus Shimonetta? Is that what happened? Yep,
yep Ilia versus Shrimonetta. Which is hilarious because for a
recund bracket, we have an anime that I said I
hated and an anime that I dropped after six apisodes.
Speaker 3: You dropped Shimnetta after six episodes.
Speaker 2: I didn't finish it.
Speaker 1: Wow, he said it.
Speaker 3: Fell off towards the end. I means he fell off
after like the best episodes where and.
Speaker 2: I think five and six. I'm like, okay, is this
kind of starting to get old? Maybe even a little
bit of gross for me, because there's a few scenes.
I don't want to watch this.
Speaker 3: I felt that way during like the last episode, come
on Chat and power throwing that ship.
Speaker 2: No, both of these are kind of all right, I'm
gonna vote. Uh, why don't you go first? And you
kind of like both of these shows, Jordan, I do.
Speaker 3: Like both of these shows, but oh, that's why I
don't want to go first those it feels like bullying.
Speaker 1: You will you watch them both, Jordan? You you watched
the Manetta and a lot of Ilia, So, like.
Speaker 3: I will say, she Wanetta kind of there's a lot
of seasons. I haven't seen a video yet. I have
heard it like continues to go and it. I've seen
some trailers for the movies that came out recently, and
they look really high quality, really good. Shimanetta kind of
wore me out a little bit by the end, I
will say, I kind of felt that same way like
I was. I had to take multiple sit downs to
actually kind of get through it. And then, uh, like
I said, those last few episodes, I wasn't quite laughing
as much anymore. I was just kind of ready to
to be over and done with it with it. But
but I did finish it Ilia. I watched through all
at once, and it never really slowed down for me.
Like I said, it kind of goes back and forth
between Slice of Life comedy esque versus like epic fights
and like actual kind of serious stuff going on. So
like the uh jaggering, that back and forth kind of
kept my interest. So I'm gonna go with Ilia. Surprisingly enough, no,
that wasn't like a true recon recommendation, but I think
I might go Ilia over she Wanetta.
Speaker 2: Well, Well, well, I won't dreamt. It comes down to, oh, well,
looks like I decide the faith.
Speaker 1: The fatal Let's see, either I chose I. Either I
chose a funny anime that I really really really liked,
or I chose I choose a magical girl anime.
Speaker 3: It is tough.
Speaker 1: It is with a lot of yuri and a lot
of uh, you know, affects an action by Studio Vodable
and ship like that.
Speaker 3: But yeah, actually it was actually Silverlink. I think as
far as studio goes like it was not.
Speaker 1: What was that silver Link? I completely forgot.
Speaker 3: It could have fooled me, Like it actually looked decent
for those fights.
Speaker 1: Anyways, for me personally, I'm going to choose.
Speaker 3: I tried, I tried.
Speaker 2: With the winds.
Speaker 3: Gentleman bracket is a little trash, okay, I tried. I tried.
Speaker 1: And with that, ladies and gentlemen, Gilgamesh comes flying down,
summons one thousand swords through a portal, piercing Ilia, and
she dies, which means that Simonetta is the winner of
my anime bracket. Cool, what do you guys think?
Speaker 3: I think we're in the middle of the fade arc
boys and the fade Animal.
Speaker 1: Honestly, I genuinely knew that if Immortal Immortal King or
Help would have stayed, they would have gone so far,
probably even to the finals.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I expected the right side of the bracket
to go completely differently. I thought it'd be like with
Storia versus Helth Like I thought I'd be the only
gamers dude, and then uh I figured after that like
she wantta. I did expect to go on, but I
thought Wastoria would win that right side of the bracket.
Speaker 2: Lord Lord Rio needs to make this bracket next time
for Jordan.
Speaker 1: Honestly, I think Briggs should probably take the bracas next time.
Speaker 3: I'll send you the list of the ones I recommended.
Speaker 2: But then again, it's hard to predict. You don't know
what people are gonna do, what people are gonna like.
What I tried to do a little bit is usually
make the first rounds either very similar in anime or
very uneven in scale of of of like their like,
how good I think they are. So by my top
four to like six picks, I try and separate for
the most part, which is pretty pretty rigo.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess I should probably take the quality into
account little bit more. I always go like themes, so
like the bottom left is all the EA guys. Top
left we got the MAJO show jos against each other
and a lot of comedies over on the right side.
But the last you know, it is what it is.
It is what it is.
Speaker 1: We're gonna do your hopefully we do your bracket at
some point as well.
Speaker 2: Jordan, Yeah, so I think next week we're gonna aim
to talk about Fate Day Night, Unlimited Blade works, and
if you want to start watching Zero, you're welcome to
recon Fate zero. Phase zero is my favorite Fate of
all time. Also, it's very funny to me that the
two fates that I've liked, to least are the two
that Ricon likes so far, Helia and Apocrypha. Fate zero
is really good. I hope you enjoyed unlimited Blade works.
We'll get into that in the next one.
Speaker 1: Me it was okay, we'll get well, I'm not gonna
say it. Yeah, yeah, I'm not gonna say anything right.
Speaker 2: Now, next time me and Jordan.
Speaker 3: But you know, it's good.
Speaker 2: We need to at least get through half of Apocrypha.
We need to watch at least halfway through, so like
our goal should be passing home.
Speaker 3: I'll try to watch as much as possible, at least
twelve episodes. But but I could see it being all right,
it's I hope it gets better. I will say, it's
weird to me that like Ricon's seen like Ilia An
Apocrypha and then like not the main Fate series prior
to that, because like even watching Apocrypha, part of what
I've enjoyed about it is like noticing characters from the
other Fate series, even if it's an alternative universe, Like
just seeing characters I recognize, right, it's fun like Hiro
and whatnot.
Speaker 2: You know, it's yep. Anyway, guys, I hope everyone enjoyed
this pep oh, this pet, this podcast, this episode of
the Rand Cafe anime podcast. Next week we're doing the
Fate stuff and we'll see you all next time.
Speaker 3: Later, everybody bite sick.
