1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,080
Speaker 1: What is up, boys, how's it going? And welcome back

2
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:05,519
to another episode of the rat Cafe Anime Podcast. Today

3
00:00:05,719 --> 00:00:09,039
it's just me and the Anime dude talking about my

4
00:00:09,199 --> 00:00:12,160
top one hundred favorite anime. I made a list a

5
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:14,640
while back, and we're gonna go through it together. What's up, Jordan,

6
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:15,839
what's up?

7
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,600
Speaker 2: Everybody? Happy to be here? And yeah, I just wanted

8
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:20,719
to look over what Briggs had here for us in

9
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,600
the top one hundred of his and roasted to hell

10
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:25,559
if we can, or you know, maybe maybe maybe not

11
00:00:25,679 --> 00:00:26,239
just depending.

12
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, praise some picks, roast some picks, but also if

13
00:00:29,239 --> 00:00:31,920
you're looking for some anime recommendations, this is my top

14
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,600
one hundred. I've probably seen easily three to four hundred

15
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:38,039
different anime, so this is these were my favorites.

16
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:41,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, we need to get you to lay those all

17
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,200
out at some point. I'm curious how many you actually

18
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,880
have seen. Three four hundred probably sounds about right, but

19
00:00:47,799 --> 00:00:49,079
there's a chance you've seen more than me.

20
00:00:49,719 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 1: I don't think I've seen more than you. But at

21
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,920
the same time, I do watch anime on stream like

22
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,920
for like pretty much like not daily anymore, but for

23
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:58,439
a long time I was watching it daily, like I

24
00:00:58,479 --> 00:01:01,119
was going through like multiple shows a week for a while.

25
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,680
Speaker 2: Oh man, I see some quality ones on here, So

26
00:01:07,239 --> 00:01:09,079
I mean, do we want to just hop right into it?

27
00:01:09,159 --> 00:01:11,239
Speaker 1: Or yeah? I mean caneez? Che is my number one,

28
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:15,319
It'll always be my number one. What you have to

29
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:16,040
say about that.

30
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,719
Speaker 2: Shorten, I guess are the rest of these in order?

31
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,599
Speaker 1: Or I think my first ten or in order? And

32
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:27,439
after that it's kind of like kind of I don't know.

33
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,439
I feel like it's in the right area but not

34
00:01:29,519 --> 00:01:30,879
perfect order, if that makes sense.

35
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:36,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, Caneechee is great. If anybody hasn't

36
00:01:36,719 --> 00:01:38,879
seen that yet, I know Briggs preaches about it all

37
00:01:38,879 --> 00:01:42,079
the time. I've seen it a couple times myself. I've

38
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,159
read like five hundred chapters or so. I need to

39
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,920
finish reading it at some point. But the manga is

40
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,480
coming back, right, so that's cause for excitement.

41
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:54,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do. I've been rewatching the anime for the

42
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,599
probably twentieth time on string, and I will say it's

43
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,239
definitely different watching it when you're twenty eight years old

44
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,040
about to be twenty nine versus when you're fourteen fifteen

45
00:02:03,079 --> 00:02:05,879
years old when I watched it. But at the same time.

46
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,800
I do think like the comedy holds up, the overall

47
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,479
story holds up. Sometimes the animation it does feel a

48
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,439
little bit dated, but if you could get over that,

49
00:02:14,479 --> 00:02:16,039
it's I think it's a great story. It's a true

50
00:02:16,159 --> 00:02:18,680
underdog story. And if you're in your younger years and

51
00:02:18,719 --> 00:02:22,879
you're a dude, I just think it'll it'll actually motivate you.

52
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,159
I don't know, Canetzche is this underdog character and just

53
00:02:26,159 --> 00:02:28,919
seeing him with no talent, like overcome all these obstacles

54
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,520
just through like hard work and determination. I watched it

55
00:02:31,599 --> 00:02:34,120
at the perfect time of my life, and I think

56
00:02:34,159 --> 00:02:36,800
because of those personal reasons, it will forever be my

57
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:37,360
number one.

58
00:02:38,599 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it is.

59
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 2: It is definitely a very you show. It's really love

60
00:02:43,599 --> 00:02:46,639
to see it. I could definitely see it being like

61
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,479
somebody's number one for those personal reasons, and yeah, it

62
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,599
is one of the most motivational shows I think I've

63
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,759
seen out there as well. So I also watched it

64
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,319
around that point my life. Very biased nostalgia wise for it,

65
00:02:58,759 --> 00:03:01,360
but I do think it holds up well well if

66
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,280
people are willing to give it the time. A lot

67
00:03:04,319 --> 00:03:06,199
of those mid two thousand shows are going to have

68
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,240
some animation issues. Like you said, maybe it can use

69
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,800
like a remake or something in that department, But even

70
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,120
if we're just talking the manga, like the story itself,

71
00:03:13,759 --> 00:03:16,439
it it holds up. I think in a lot of

72
00:03:16,479 --> 00:03:18,520
ways it is one of those true underdog stories that

73
00:03:18,759 --> 00:03:19,520
takes its time.

74
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:20,039
Speaker 3: It's not.

75
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 2: It doesn't rush things, and then a lot of shown

76
00:03:25,039 --> 00:03:27,240
it out there. You know, they want the main character

77
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,520
to be a chosen one of some kind or have

78
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,719
some type of super secret hidden power hidden within him.

79
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,400
With Knichi, no, it's just all hard work and just

80
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,840
consistency on the on the daily grind right, and just

81
00:03:39,879 --> 00:03:42,319
really good teachers that help him to guide them along

82
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:42,759
that path.

83
00:03:42,879 --> 00:03:47,159
Speaker 1: So I think you you bring up a really good point. Jordan,

84
00:03:47,199 --> 00:03:48,639
Oh my god, I can't speak today. I think you

85
00:03:48,639 --> 00:03:51,680
can bring up a really good point. I think I

86
00:03:51,719 --> 00:03:53,719
have an issue a lot of times with newer anime

87
00:03:53,759 --> 00:03:57,680
where it's just like right away instant gratification. He's the best,

88
00:03:57,719 --> 00:04:02,000
he gets all the girls, he's got OPI powers. It's funny.

89
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,520
Sometimes with comedy it works well, but with like a

90
00:04:04,599 --> 00:04:08,960
normal story, I miss that, Like original underdog story, which

91
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,280
is a good segue into number three, which is Hojia

92
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,159
Mayo Epo, we don't need to go in perfect order.

93
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:13,759
Speaker 2: Had No.

94
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,439
Speaker 1: Epo is another Don't get me wrong, He's a hard puncher.

95
00:04:16,639 --> 00:04:19,040
He has some things going in his favor genetically maybe,

96
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,519
but for the most part, it's again just I don't

97
00:04:22,519 --> 00:04:25,519
want to stand nobody, but just a normal kid that

98
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:29,160
works really hard to achieve his goals and yeah, becomes

99
00:04:29,199 --> 00:04:33,040
this over the top like Kenichi becomes this eventually becomes

100
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,199
a master or close to a master, equal, becomes the

101
00:04:36,199 --> 00:04:40,279
the the champion of Japan and so so on and

102
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:40,800
so forth.

103
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean even within the universe of EPO, we

104
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,560
get a character that is just kind of a physical

105
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,000
freak that you know, he he still works hard. Of

106
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,120
course too, I'm not gonna put anything down the work

107
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,319
he's put in, but we get Takamora there as like

108
00:04:55,319 --> 00:05:00,120
a bit of a comparison. Yeah, and you know, EPO's

109
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,120
not necessarily in that same breath. As far as talent,

110
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,639
he's just a very earnest worker. That's uh, very by

111
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,480
the book, very uh. I don't know it as the

112
00:05:09,519 --> 00:05:11,759
old school grindset where if his coach tells him to

113
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,759
do something, he's gonna probably go overboard, overboard trying to

114
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,120
do that and then uh yeah, that combined with just

115
00:05:18,319 --> 00:05:22,560
the physical way he's built his body up from working

116
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,319
since childhood right helping out with his parents' business and stuff,

117
00:05:25,319 --> 00:05:27,639
it all just kind of works out into a into

118
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:28,399
a great series.

119
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,639
Speaker 3: So natural growth over a very long time, dude.

120
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 1: I remember when I was like really young getting into

121
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,639
these anime and I think I watched Caneche and I'm like,

122
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,720
anime like Canechian Equo came up like it when I

123
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,879
googled it, and I watched those two anime and I

124
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,240
remember watching hdrenle Evil episodes and like lifting weights during

125
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,519
the opening every opening, I would do a set because

126
00:05:48,519 --> 00:05:49,879
it would get me the show. We get me so

127
00:05:49,959 --> 00:05:52,920
fired up. And like I was like a pretty like

128
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,519
scrawny dude in you know, elementary school, and I remember

129
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,279
like going to high school. I was athletic, like I

130
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,439
played sports, but I was a little like in intimidated

131
00:06:00,519 --> 00:06:02,800
to join the sports teams. Obviously, like a lot of

132
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,399
the teams for varsity, like with like fucking seventeen year olds.

133
00:06:05,439 --> 00:06:08,160
I'm fourteen fifteen at the time, and I remember watching

134
00:06:08,199 --> 00:06:10,199
Kenegian epuh, and I was like, fuck it, I'm doing it,

135
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,839
and I really do like it's kind of crazy that

136
00:06:12,879 --> 00:06:16,079
some of these anime kind of changed the trajectory of

137
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,879
like of those years or even your life. Right.

138
00:06:19,399 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 2: Well, they say hard work beats talent when talent doesn't

139
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,800
work hard, and I feel like anime just kind of

140
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,959
reinforces that mindset and do you There's a lot of

141
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,920
other shows out there where I don't know, it's easy

142
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:33,720
to write like a plot line where things just kind

143
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,319
of work out because they work out. But anime main

144
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,240
characters in general always had a thing where they want

145
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,240
to work harder, they want to earn it. They and

146
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,560
a few shows speak better that to that than kenetcheean Epo.

147
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 3: Right. So I was kind of that same way as

148
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:47,839
a kid.

149
00:06:47,879 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 2: I remember, I think it was like third or fourth grade.

150
00:06:49,959 --> 00:06:51,120
I had a bit of a wake up call for

151
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,519
how scronny I was, where I was always a straight

152
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,199
A student and then one year I just I failed pe.

153
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,319
I couldn't do the pushups and I didn't fail. I

154
00:06:58,319 --> 00:07:00,160
got like a d on like a test or we

155
00:07:00,199 --> 00:07:03,360
had to do push ups and stuff. So I would

156
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,639
watch Dragon Ball Z after that and just do like

157
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,279
push ups. Yeah, like they're at home and stuff until

158
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,759
I could. So sometimes you just need that wake up call.

159
00:07:13,959 --> 00:07:18,519
Speaker 1: GTO is my number three, and GTO, I don't know.

160
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:23,160
I think it has it's aged. It hasn't aged the

161
00:07:23,199 --> 00:07:27,040
best upon Rewatch, but it's still fricking good, especially if

162
00:07:27,079 --> 00:07:28,160
you give it a few episodes.

163
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:33,079
Speaker 2: It was kind of wild I rewatch, but but like

164
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,279
you said, at its core, it still has a lot

165
00:07:35,279 --> 00:07:39,120
of really good messages to it. It's a coming of

166
00:07:39,199 --> 00:07:43,519
age story both for the for the mentor and for

167
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,519
the mentees, where he's kind of learning alongside them in

168
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,160
different aspects, and we see that a little bit Neapo

169
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,519
as well. Right like a really good teacher student relationship.

170
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:54,879
The students learn a lot, but also the teacher is

171
00:07:54,879 --> 00:07:57,720
going to be learning along with them. Right Onizuka, is

172
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,199
that wise fool that east young kid just got out

173
00:08:01,199 --> 00:08:03,439
of college still has a lot to learn, but he

174
00:08:03,439 --> 00:08:06,120
imparked some good lessons there over the course of the

175
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:06,800
series as well.

176
00:08:06,879 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: So Yo, I could say it now, I could actually

177
00:08:09,199 --> 00:08:12,720
finally say it. So for a while I was full

178
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,879
time content creator, and then I got a new job,

179
00:08:14,879 --> 00:08:17,680
and I didn't really want to say it because I

180
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,199
got a teacher's position. So I've been teaching for the

181
00:08:20,319 --> 00:08:22,680
last like seven eight months, and I didn't want to

182
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,040
reveal it on stream in case I wanted to continue

183
00:08:25,079 --> 00:08:27,519
down that path. But I've decided I'm not fucking teaching

184
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,360
no more, so I could, Like I was just worried

185
00:08:30,399 --> 00:08:33,519
because obviously like being a teacher and working with kids

186
00:08:33,639 --> 00:08:36,279
and also being a content creator do not go. They

187
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:40,120
do not go at all. So like now that I'm

188
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,360
maybe gonna be going down a new career path and

189
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,519
probably not teaching next year, I could finally talk about it.

190
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:50,639
And it's so true, like learning alongside the students together

191
00:08:51,039 --> 00:08:54,120
is like whether it be actual concepts or just lessons

192
00:08:54,159 --> 00:08:58,200
in general. GTO is really really good and it's kind

193
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,759
of reminded me of that I can relate all three

194
00:09:00,799 --> 00:09:02,399
of these top three anime to like my life, and

195
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,799
maybe that's why they're so good. They're very they can

196
00:09:04,919 --> 00:09:08,720
be relatable without being a self insert turned overpowered.

197
00:09:09,759 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like.

198
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 2: GTO is one of those where it kind of depends

199
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,000
on what point you want in your time or what

200
00:09:14,039 --> 00:09:16,039
point in your life you watch it too, because I

201
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,840
do remember I watched it pretty young, and I'm like, man,

202
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:20,720
this guy, this guy does have a lot of good

203
00:09:20,799 --> 00:09:22,799
lessons and stuff. Then I watched it again like around

204
00:09:22,919 --> 00:09:25,320
the end of college and whatnot, and I was like, God,

205
00:09:25,399 --> 00:09:27,320
this guy's kind of an idiot, but he has some

206
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:31,480
good points, right. So it's one of those things where, yeah,

207
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,279
at what point in your life are you? And then

208
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,480
you kind of relate more to maybe that teacher side,

209
00:09:35,519 --> 00:09:37,840
whereas when you're a kid, it's like teachers feel like

210
00:09:37,879 --> 00:09:38,759
they know everything right.

211
00:09:38,799 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 3: And then then you.

212
00:09:39,879 --> 00:09:41,519
Speaker 2: Watch How I About your Mother. You see he's trying

213
00:09:41,519 --> 00:09:43,759
to write on the board. He's like professor, So I

214
00:09:43,799 --> 00:09:46,440
have like one F two fs.

215
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: Oh my god, dude, I hate writing on the board.

216
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,399
I feel like I could do stuff on pen and

217
00:09:51,399 --> 00:09:53,200
papers so easily. You go to write on the board,

218
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,639
you're like you like especially my first week, my first

219
00:09:55,639 --> 00:09:58,840
week teaching, Oh my goodness, I made so many mistakes.

220
00:09:58,879 --> 00:10:01,360
And then eventually, once nerves kind of go away, it's

221
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,799
just like it's like anything else, right, right, what age

222
00:10:04,799 --> 00:10:07,600
group were you teaching? Bergo? I was teaching grade nines

223
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,200
and tens, and now I'm actually teaching a grade twelve universe,

224
00:10:10,639 --> 00:10:14,799
a grade twelve economics class, which is cool, nice, nice, Yeah,

225
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,639
But anyway, let's get back into anime. Gto. It could

226
00:10:18,639 --> 00:10:21,679
be pretty weird at times, but only Zuka is a

227
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,480
badass character, and there's some good lessons, some good relationships

228
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,120
within the series between like teacher and student in a

229
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:33,279
wholesome way, not in a weird way. Stein's Gate, Stein's

230
00:10:33,279 --> 00:10:36,399
Gate number four, which is just Stein's Gate. I think

231
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,440
apiod eleven through like twenty five is just genuinely my

232
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,000
favorite episodes in all of animes, episodes in general.

233
00:10:42,799 --> 00:10:45,159
Speaker 2: I feel you, episodes one through ten my favorite episodes

234
00:10:45,159 --> 00:10:48,960
in anime, just episodes in general. Just you know the ending,

235
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:51,919
Wait say that again?

236
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:52,519
Speaker 1: Say that again?

237
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 2: Jokes aside, I was saying episodes one through ten are

238
00:10:56,399 --> 00:11:01,480
my favorite. Honestly, all of Steinsgate is so good. It's

239
00:11:01,639 --> 00:11:03,840
another solid pick here. I don't really like time travel

240
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,600
stuff a lot of the time because it's so hard

241
00:11:05,639 --> 00:11:08,279
to do, but it can be very good if done well.

242
00:11:08,279 --> 00:11:10,039
And I've never seen a series do it quite as

243
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,360
well as as that original Steinsgate season right, it really

244
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,559
like but wraps it up in like a bow and

245
00:11:15,639 --> 00:11:17,919
has like a perfect loop there, and it just it

246
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:18,759
just works right.

247
00:11:18,879 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: So well said well, said Jordan.

248
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 2: I haven't seen zero or the movie, though I need

249
00:11:23,279 --> 00:11:24,279
to do that at something.

250
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: You should watch both. You're not as good, but they're

251
00:11:27,279 --> 00:11:31,919
still good. One Piece for obvious reasons.

252
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 2: All my homies hate One Piece probably right, No, no,

253
00:11:38,879 --> 00:11:39,320
I mean.

254
00:11:39,519 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 1: This is an anime list. I couldn't put it like,

255
00:11:41,399 --> 00:11:43,080
I don't know, like One Piece of my favorite manga.

256
00:11:43,159 --> 00:11:45,960
I love One Piece so much, but the anime has

257
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:46,559
its issues.

258
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,039
Speaker 2: But you know, I still enjoy the anime. Like I said,

259
00:11:50,039 --> 00:11:51,480
I've seen it a couple of times. I think there's

260
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:55,759
some scenes it probably does better. It just feels the

261
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,440
voice acting and everything adds to it. The soundtrack kind

262
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,080
of adds to it. And I've all recently been trying

263
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:02,759
to watch through one Pace to see you like kind

264
00:12:02,799 --> 00:12:05,440
of how that differs, And uh, I'm enjoying that too,

265
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:06,240
so solid.

266
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 1: Do you think people really hate on one Pace? But

267
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:08,879
I love it.

268
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 2: I've only watched it through to like Little Garden, so

269
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,279
like I've only just now gotten into the grand line

270
00:12:17,519 --> 00:12:19,799
like casually watching through every now and again. But I've

271
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:21,600
really enjoyed. I've really enjoyed it.

272
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 3: I like how they.

273
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 2: I don't know, I can see it being difficult to

274
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,000
maybe adapt some recent stuff where like animators go above

275
00:12:29,039 --> 00:12:30,480
and beyond, trying to flesh it out in like a

276
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,919
creative way. So it's uh, you know, they they have

277
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,120
that thing where they'll put out like a episode where

278
00:12:35,159 --> 00:12:36,919
that's cut, and then they'll have like the extended cut,

279
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,559
and I get where there's maybe some debate there, but

280
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,799
for a lot of things, it's I don't know, it

281
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:48,559
just feels like such a straightforward it's not gonna be

282
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,799
perfect because it's not like the you know, it's not

283
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,320
like directed or in that way. It's not meant to

284
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,080
be that way. But it's them trying to portray whether

285
00:12:56,159 --> 00:12:58,159
the manga is right without somebody having to go through

286
00:12:58,159 --> 00:13:00,759
all the fluff of like of time period when it

287
00:13:00,799 --> 00:13:01,120
was made.

288
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,039
Speaker 3: So I've enjoyed it. I've enjoyed it a lot.

289
00:13:04,159 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 2: I like the Brati arc where instead of including the

290
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,679
scene where Zeph cuts off his leg in the anime,

291
00:13:11,279 --> 00:13:14,080
they just took that out and it kind of implies

292
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,679
what the manga did, right, he catalyzed his own legs,

293
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:21,480
so it's just in order to live there, so frozen

294
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,960
cons I don't I don't think it replaces, you know,

295
00:13:25,159 --> 00:13:27,600
just the manga and its entirety, but it's it's a

296
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:29,679
dang good like alternative. I think.

297
00:13:29,879 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 3: I don't know.

298
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 2: It's nice to have around. I appreciate that people put

299
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:33,159
the effort into it.

300
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,639
Speaker 1: I just my biggest thing is one Piece became unwatchable.

301
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,519
I'm sorry, I'll say it. One Piece became unwatchable. It

302
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,240
like it was so good and then with it got

303
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,000
worse and worse and worse in regards to the pacing

304
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,080
that I don't care. I could see that one pace

305
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,000
can be jarring at times with how it makes its

306
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,759
cuts and maybe cuts out some things where the anime

307
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,080
actually enhances the series. For sure, there are moments where

308
00:13:56,120 --> 00:14:00,240
one pace is worse. But for me, I could one

309
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,159
Piece of my favorite Mango of all time and one

310
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,279
of my favorite animes of all time, and for me,

311
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,799
it actually became unwatchable. I couldn't do it. It was

312
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,240
fucking it, dude. It was twenty minute episode, but ten

313
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,960
minutes of recaps and opening and then one fight scene

314
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:15,679
that I already read in the manga, by the way,

315
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:17,720
is just like wow, why is this? Why is this

316
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:22,200
lasting multiple episodes? I personally was starting to get frustrated,

317
00:14:22,279 --> 00:14:25,919
So for me, rewatching and like letting the anime get Ahead.

318
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,679
One Pace is just a way more enjoyable experience. While

319
00:14:28,679 --> 00:14:32,000
I will admit sometimes it can cut some things out

320
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:36,080
or maybe have some weird cuts where it's transitioning, because

321
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,720
it's just trying to follow what's canon and what's in

322
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:42,919
the source material. It's not perfect, but personally I am

323
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:44,159
a big fan of one Pace.

324
00:14:44,919 --> 00:14:46,759
Speaker 2: I appreciate it, and that's why I wanted to throw

325
00:14:46,799 --> 00:14:48,519
the caveat on there that I've only seen so much

326
00:14:48,559 --> 00:14:51,720
of it, right because I watched the original anime up

327
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:53,639
till Dress Rosa, and then that was around the point

328
00:14:53,679 --> 00:14:55,440
where I was like, I can't hardly do this anymore.

329
00:14:56,360 --> 00:15:01,000
It was so filler or just fluffed out for those

330
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,480
like one hundred episodes for like to adapt one hundred chapters,

331
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,080
I'm like I and a lot of times I felt

332
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:07,840
like I was watching like maybe five minutes of content

333
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,120
and like a twenty minute episode. So it uh.

334
00:15:11,159 --> 00:15:14,399
Speaker 1: I also was specifically tough, not because there was so

335
00:15:14,559 --> 00:15:17,840
much filler, It was almost just because it would have

336
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:22,000
took on a really a really challenging arc where he

337
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:25,120
had so many different moving parts. There were so many

338
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,799
different moving parts, so even just having a little bit

339
00:15:27,799 --> 00:15:31,440
of pacing issues with the anime once they adapted the manga,

340
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,879
a little bit of pacing issues, a little bit of filler,

341
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,159
and just a little bit of that on top of

342
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:42,399
what was already an ambitious concept made it terrible, but

343
00:15:42,759 --> 00:15:45,200
among it's funny. I rewatched the mall, I reread the manga.

344
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:46,279
It's one of my favorite arcs.

345
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:48,039
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, the mong is so good.

346
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 2: But I feel like I remember, specifically during that arc,

347
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,879
like recaps and like them stretching out big moments to

348
00:15:55,039 --> 00:15:58,240
just blast forever. Yeah, where it like it feels like

349
00:15:58,279 --> 00:16:00,759
it definitely shouldn't be that way. And then you see

350
00:16:01,279 --> 00:16:03,320
recent arcs where I haven't quite watched the anime, but

351
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:04,840
I've at least kept up with, like what the big

352
00:16:04,879 --> 00:16:06,919
moments are are the clips and stuff, and you got

353
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,200
you see some animators going above and beyond, right, So

354
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:11,080
animation is one of those things where you have a

355
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,559
team of people working on it, and with an anime

356
00:16:13,639 --> 00:16:15,559
like One Piece, where it's been going for over twenty

357
00:16:15,639 --> 00:16:18,559
years and you know, the staff's constantly changing and they're

358
00:16:18,559 --> 00:16:21,879
trying to keep it going weekly basically for the most part,

359
00:16:21,879 --> 00:16:23,399
where they're getting out an episode a week, and then

360
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,399
they're catching up to the source material and running into

361
00:16:25,399 --> 00:16:27,759
all these other issues. It's not gonna be perfect, right,

362
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,879
So you're not gonna get a perfect experience either way,

363
00:16:30,879 --> 00:16:31,559
anime wise.

364
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 3: Maybe that's why we're getting the remake. But I don't know.

365
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 2: One Pieces or one Pace is a is a good

366
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:38,200
alternative from what I've seen.

367
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 3: I enjoy it.

368
00:16:39,039 --> 00:16:40,799
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's just funny because whenever someone says

369
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,120
recommends one Pace on Twitter, everyone freaks on and says,

370
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:44,799
don't do it. It's terrible, It's so bad. I'm like,

371
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,840
have you guys seen fish Man Island? Have you guys

372
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,440
seen well? Like, what the fuck are you guys talking about?

373
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,320
I will say, obviously things change, Like the early anime

374
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,519
really really pacings pretty good, it gets worse, it gets

375
00:16:57,519 --> 00:17:00,120
a little bit better at times. Obviously, the animation in

376
00:17:00,159 --> 00:17:03,399
an Egghead, Oh my god, was it fantastic, And even

377
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,759
towards the end of one Oh it was it was

378
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,720
so good that this animation is enhancing it. So this

379
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:12,039
pros and cons. But then again, everyone's getting into one

380
00:17:12,079 --> 00:17:14,599
Piece at different times. Like I've been watching weekly since

381
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:19,200
fucking before the time skip right, So you don't a

382
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,119
lot of people don't know, you don't know what it

383
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,480
was like going through Punk Hazard and Whole Cake. You

384
00:17:23,519 --> 00:17:24,119
know you.

385
00:17:24,279 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 2: You week yeah, week to week.

386
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 1: You fucking I was watching Dress Rosa weekly. It took

387
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:34,319
o my entire high school career, so obviously someone in

388
00:17:34,319 --> 00:17:37,119
my chat was like someone in chat Marcus was like, oh,

389
00:17:37,319 --> 00:17:38,839
you guys, it feel like you guys watch a different

390
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,799
Dress Rosa than I did. No shit, you probably binged

391
00:17:41,839 --> 00:17:44,599
it in like two weeks. I watched it over the

392
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,880
course of a four year high school like three and

393
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:48,880
a half years of high school. I remember making a

394
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,960
review to a chapter in grade nine or ten and

395
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:57,559
then graduating and Dress Roaster wasn't done yet.

396
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:01,599
Speaker 2: Oh god, it's so true. And granted there's a lot

397
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,960
of pacing wise for manga and stuff, where it's so

398
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:05,799
much better there after the fact where you're able to

399
00:18:05,839 --> 00:18:08,400
kind of binge through it. Oh. I feel like Berserk

400
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:09,640
is one of the best examples of that in my

401
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,200
mind too, where throughout most of my high school career

402
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:13,359
he was just on a boat and there was like

403
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,960
five chapters that came out. Every time I checked back in,

404
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,000
they're still on the boat, and I'm like, oh, then

405
00:18:18,039 --> 00:18:20,119
you go back and reread that arc. It's not too bad, right,

406
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,319
but it's like one piece, They're always on a boat.

407
00:18:22,559 --> 00:18:24,359
Every time I check back in, they're still on a boat.

408
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 3: So it's boats and anime hate them all right.

409
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 1: Anyway, let's move on to foods, food doors.

410
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,279
Speaker 3: I really want to revisit Food Wars at some point.

411
00:18:39,039 --> 00:18:42,079
Speaker 2: It's such an interesting series, and I've actually been cooking

412
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,480
here over the past few months, so I wonder if,

413
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:45,960
like my perspective now would be different.

414
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,599
Speaker 3: But I really enjoy Food Wars.

415
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,519
Speaker 2: Although caveat, I guess you're the one that recommended this

416
00:18:54,519 --> 00:18:56,759
to me, and I actually haven't seen most of the anime.

417
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,480
I saw like six episodes, seven episodes, and I read

418
00:18:59,480 --> 00:18:59,920
it instead.

419
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,839
Speaker 1: I think the anime is better than the manga. Not

420
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,960
gonna lie like without the without the sound effects of

421
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,480
them orgasming. I don't know if it's the same, dud.

422
00:19:09,519 --> 00:19:13,759
Speaker 2: You say that. Everybody complains about how acchy Food Wars is,

423
00:19:13,799 --> 00:19:15,400
and I do think it's one of those series where

424
00:19:15,599 --> 00:19:18,400
the acchi kind of adds to it on it because

425
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,079
it like, uh, it just meshes well, like that's half

426
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:24,000
the point, right, But I will say I think the

427
00:19:24,039 --> 00:19:25,960
anime is like way more atchy than the manga because

428
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:27,279
there were so many times I'm reading it and I'm like,

429
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,440
there might be one etchy page every couple few chapters,

430
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,559
like well, for most of it, it's not even that bad,

431
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,400
like at all, But uh, I don't I don't know,

432
00:19:36,559 --> 00:19:41,119
very interesting series, very top tier shown in battles, shown

433
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,440
in that's just is like its own little thing. And then, uh,

434
00:19:44,519 --> 00:19:45,960
I don't know. I could see it being one of

435
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,440
your favorites. I'm curious kind of on why, but I'm

436
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:51,400
not gonna fight against back against this one.

437
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: I do think it's one of those examples where the

438
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,880
etchy actually enhances the series, and there's not that many

439
00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,799
that do it. There's not that many that I think

440
00:19:59,839 --> 00:20:03,240
the and actually actually makes the series better. It's like

441
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,440
integrated into the reaction because at the end of the day,

442
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,799
they're cooking food, dude, they're cooking food and trying food.

443
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,160
So like having the over the top reactions actually enhances

444
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:17,480
are like what like we could see it kind of scale.

445
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,920
It's power scaling. It's essentially power scaling through orgasms.

446
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's imagery that's meant to like represent like the

447
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,200
taste of the food, right, and the basically give an

448
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:31,720
extra way to to show that. So I just don't know.

449
00:20:31,799 --> 00:20:33,759
Speaker 1: I don't I don't even know why I love the show.

450
00:20:33,799 --> 00:20:36,440
I just I got addicted to it really, really easily,

451
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,680
and I just didn't want to stop watching. I constantly

452
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,559
wanted more. My biggest thing. The shows that are in

453
00:20:41,559 --> 00:20:43,559
my top twenty are shows that I want to rewatch

454
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,000
years later. Years go by and I'm like, I can

455
00:20:46,039 --> 00:20:47,960
go back and watch that. I want to watch it again.

456
00:20:48,079 --> 00:20:49,640
And that's how I know it meant something to me

457
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:53,160
and made a difference. I'm I'm just trying to put

458
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:57,640
by my thoughts together. For Food Wards, I don't know. Yeah,

459
00:20:57,799 --> 00:20:59,200
I really don't know.

460
00:21:00,559 --> 00:21:03,279
Speaker 2: A lot of different creative characters in Food Wars that

461
00:21:03,319 --> 00:21:06,559
all have like their specialized cooking style. For the most part,

462
00:21:07,079 --> 00:21:07,720
you know what it was?

463
00:21:07,839 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 1: It was? It was It was a shone in. It's

464
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:11,839
a battle shoon and done really well, and I love

465
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:16,039
Battle Shonins, but with a very very different twist. They're

466
00:21:16,079 --> 00:21:18,720
fighting through through cooking competitions and food.

467
00:21:18,839 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was very high quality as well. I love

468
00:21:21,519 --> 00:21:24,319
the artwork for Food Wars and then uh, I love

469
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,119
it whenever they like zoom into like a very specific

470
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,359
niche or thing that the author might have an interest in.

471
00:21:29,839 --> 00:21:32,440
In this case, it was food, right, and and they

472
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,480
would have like genuine recipes like with a like a

473
00:21:35,599 --> 00:21:39,039
chef kind of I guess guiding them ang and not

474
00:21:39,079 --> 00:21:42,640
guiding it, but like giving advice on like the recipes

475
00:21:42,759 --> 00:21:45,759
used to where it is like genuine stuff being cooked right.

476
00:21:45,839 --> 00:21:48,200
So they're going into this niche and like a very

477
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:49,920
battle shown in way and it's just very fun.

478
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 1: There's also a common thread with my favorite anime. They

479
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,119
tend to be shown in, but they also tend to

480
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:00,599
have like a love interest that actually kind of go somewhere.

481
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,759
If you look at Kanichi, you look at Hojmeno Epo,

482
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,400
you look at Stein's Gate, and you look at Food Wars.

483
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:10,400
All in my top six they all have like there

484
00:22:10,519 --> 00:22:14,440
is whatever the romantic relationship is. The dynamic are all

485
00:22:14,559 --> 00:22:17,640
very very different, but they actually go somewhere. Maybe it's

486
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:21,119
the romantic in me. But Food Wars we got Soma

487
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:26,279
and Edina, Stein's Gate, we got Oka Bay and Christina

488
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:30,640
that is her name. We got an Epo. I don't

489
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:31,839
remember EPO's girl's name.

490
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,400
Speaker 2: I'm blanking, but I know which Mashiba's sister, so we

491
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,240
can just call her Mashiba.

492
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:45,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think yeah, and Mashiba gto whatever. But Knechie

493
00:22:45,279 --> 00:22:47,359
and Mio Meu and like like some of my favorite

494
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,680
wife foos, my favorite wife foos are like Meu, Christina

495
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:55,559
and Edina. So like straight up, maybe that that's a factor.

496
00:22:55,599 --> 00:22:58,799
I'm learning stuff about myself through going through these anime.

497
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 2: You know, fair enough, the top of this list is

498
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,359
kind of hard because I can't find very many things

499
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,680
to like critique here, and I really wanted to roast

500
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,599
your list really bad, but these are these are good,

501
00:23:10,599 --> 00:23:11,279
so it's top.

502
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 1: I got good taste, that decent taste.

503
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 2: He's got food Wars taught him all about taste.

504
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:17,839
Speaker 3: Okay.

505
00:23:18,079 --> 00:23:20,079
Speaker 1: I know No Game No Life being in my top

506
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:23,960
ten sometimes gets a little bit of criticism.

507
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I could see the criticism of it being in

508
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,920
like the top ten maybe, but I think people forget

509
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,640
how unique like No Game The Life kind of felt

510
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,519
when it came out, because you know, people love competitions,

511
00:23:34,519 --> 00:23:37,039
people love games, and then you throw that in with

512
00:23:37,079 --> 00:23:39,799
an Isa Kai and it just it felt very unique

513
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:43,279
with its whole uh, its whole vibe right that entire

514
00:23:43,319 --> 00:23:44,920
first season, it's all you got one season, but it's

515
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,200
still talked about to this day for that reason, right,

516
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:48,920
And I think I liked the movie even more than

517
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,279
that season where it was was a prequel type thing,

518
00:23:51,319 --> 00:23:53,279
so it has good world building, just all within that

519
00:23:53,319 --> 00:23:56,920
first little bit. I don't know, curious, like, what what

520
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:58,880
was your reasoning behind having at top ten.

521
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,079
Speaker 1: I think it just it was it was a similar

522
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,880
thing where I watched it, I really wanted more and

523
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,640
I didn't come out, and then I rewatched it, and

524
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:10,359
then I went and watched the movie in theaters, and

525
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:13,039
then I rewatched it again, and then I went and

526
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,359
bought the light novels and read it. So even if

527
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,400
I can't put my I'm not smart enough to realize

528
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:20,799
why I like a show. A lot of the times,

529
00:24:20,799 --> 00:24:22,319
I'm just like, that's in my top I have to

530
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,079
put in my top ten. I watched it three times

531
00:24:24,079 --> 00:24:26,119
in a year and a half. Clearly I love it.

532
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 2: Usually if I've read something as well too, there's a

533
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:30,720
little bit of bias there where I'm just gonna like

534
00:24:30,759 --> 00:24:32,880
it a little bit more because I don't know. You've

535
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:34,440
seen it both ways, right, You've seen kind of where

536
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,519
it came from, and some of the stuff that's implied

537
00:24:36,519 --> 00:24:37,839
but maybe not shown in the anime.

538
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 1: So dude, I loved it so much that not only

539
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:41,720
did I buy the later light novels, I bought the

540
00:24:41,759 --> 00:24:44,119
earlier ones that were already adapted into the anime. Just

541
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,279
reread it, just to read it. I needed something to do.

542
00:24:46,319 --> 00:24:46,599
Speaker 2: I was.

543
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:48,519
Speaker 1: I was at the time. I was in university, and

544
00:24:48,559 --> 00:24:50,599
I was just like I was spending an hour on

545
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,440
the subway there and an hour back. I was sarying

546
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:55,440
two hours on a subway a day, two hours with

547
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,559
a light novel. You could finish half a light novel

548
00:24:57,759 --> 00:24:59,599
or like a quarter of a light novel sometimes, so

549
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:01,440
like I would. It was just like every week I

550
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:02,559
would just read a new light novel.

551
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,279
Speaker 2: Hey, you know, you don't got to try to justify

552
00:25:05,319 --> 00:25:07,200
yourself to me. Man, I've read like seven light novels

553
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:07,880
in the past week.

554
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:09,319
Speaker 1: So I there we go.

555
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 3: I'm a reader. Reading is great.

556
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,680
Speaker 1: Uh, Spice and Wolf. I also read the light novels

557
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,039
and they were so good, very good. I actually think

558
00:25:17,039 --> 00:25:19,680
the light novels are better than the animes first Pie

559
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:21,079
and Wolf specifically.

560
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,519
Speaker 2: I haven't seen the full remake. I've only seen the

561
00:25:23,519 --> 00:25:25,960
first episode. But uh, but I will say I do

562
00:25:26,039 --> 00:25:27,839
love those Light novels. It was the first flight novel

563
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,759
said I bought in full was h was Spiced and Wolf.

564
00:25:30,839 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, the remake's pretty good. It does feel a little

565
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,160
bit different at times, and I do think just like

566
00:25:35,279 --> 00:25:37,960
the Spice and Wolf light novels are just really really detailed,

567
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,119
and that detail added a lot of value to me.

568
00:25:40,279 --> 00:25:42,319
And I already watched the anime, so I was able

569
00:25:42,319 --> 00:25:44,880
to picture the characters and kind of like already liked

570
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,039
them already going in. So it was, it was, It

571
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:50,519
was really good. So number nine is a class number eight,

572
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:57,519
Number eight overly cautious hero sir. So many anime it's

573
00:25:57,519 --> 00:25:57,880
so fun.

574
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,319
Speaker 2: I haven't it's and I feel like I see a

575
00:26:00,319 --> 00:26:02,519
lot of people have that same big three, and I

576
00:26:02,559 --> 00:26:05,119
love it because you know, well, for me it would

577
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:07,720
be like Mushoku, KonoSuba and Ree zero are like my

578
00:26:07,799 --> 00:26:10,559
big three. And then here you are with two Wisa

579
00:26:10,599 --> 00:26:15,319
Kai in your top ten, neither one or like usually

580
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,440
ones that people even mention, right, like, these are pretty

581
00:26:17,559 --> 00:26:20,440
unique picks, but very high quality picks.

582
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,839
Speaker 3: So I love thank you.

583
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:24,519
Speaker 2: I just rewatched that one here recently, and then you

584
00:26:24,519 --> 00:26:25,680
told me we couldn't talk about it?

585
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:27,319
Speaker 3: Could we have to talk about Badisa Kai?

586
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:33,559
Speaker 1: Overly Clausus Hero is just so funny. I it was

587
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,319
my first watch through because, like, don't get me wrong,

588
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,720
anime makes me laugh, you know, anime makes me laugh.

589
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:42,359
Nothing crazy. But I was watching Overly Clasha's Hero alone

590
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:46,240
by myself, and I have this distinct memory of crying

591
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,559
and having to pause the episode kind of. I was

592
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,079
laughing so hard, and I don't think any other anime

593
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:52,480
has done that to me, where it's like I need

594
00:26:52,519 --> 00:26:54,680
a break, give me a second to catch my breath.

595
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:57,920
So I feel like that's that. That just spoke so

596
00:26:58,000 --> 00:26:59,880
much volumes so that not only was it one of

597
00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:02,359
the funniest anime I've ever seen, the second is starting

598
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,559
to feel repetitive. I'm like, oh, maybe it's trying to

599
00:27:04,599 --> 00:27:06,799
get a little bit repetitive. It became a good anime.

600
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:08,680
I'm like, why did this get serious?

601
00:27:08,759 --> 00:27:12,880
Speaker 2: And like I'm about to say now, it's one of

602
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,720
those few anime that'll make you stop and pausitive episode

603
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:17,960
to cry for a little bit, but for completely different

604
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:18,799
reasons based on the.

605
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 3: Episode, right, So it's at the very.

606
00:27:21,079 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 2: Beginning, it's hysterical it's funny. There's a lot of foreshadowing that,

607
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,599
like I've only caught on rewatches and stuff, so it's

608
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,240
still serious as it kind of does some of that,

609
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,759
but then the last couple episodes it's just a complete

610
00:27:31,799 --> 00:27:35,200
tone shift. Edit encapsulates in a way that like brings

611
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:39,319
everything together to make sense. And I know the light

612
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,519
novels continue going and they're kind of on hiatus now,

613
00:27:41,559 --> 00:27:44,799
but just the anime as a as a standalone, it's

614
00:27:44,839 --> 00:27:46,839
just still just so good, right. It ends in a

615
00:27:46,839 --> 00:27:50,880
good spot, solid pick, solid pick, thank you, thank you.

616
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 1: We've got death done at number nine, which everyone loves

617
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:53,359
death dope.

618
00:27:53,519 --> 00:27:57,799
Speaker 2: That's good death note. It's just the gift that keeps

619
00:27:57,799 --> 00:27:59,480
on giving, right. I never.

620
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,039
Speaker 3: I never get tired of it. Rewatched it many times.

621
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,759
Speaker 2: I haven't rewatched it quite too much here recently, but

622
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,119
it's just that quality, right.

623
00:28:08,079 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 1: It's a It's it's that anime that everyone recommends to

624
00:28:11,519 --> 00:28:13,440
their friends to get into anime. And I think that

625
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:19,359
speaks volumes, not only because it kind of like people

626
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,640
have a certain expectation what anime is. I think it's

627
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,359
broken in recent years because the anime has become so mainstream.

628
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,640
But when we were growing up, people thought anime with

629
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,759
Pokemon or fucking porn, you know, it's either handti or things.

630
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:31,119
Had a lot of that. I mean that's what my

631
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,240
mom thought thought anime was. You know, that's what a

632
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:33,680
lot of it think.

633
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 3: It's pretty good summary.

634
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 1: So at that time, everyone recommended Death Note because it

635
00:28:39,279 --> 00:28:44,680
broke those preconceptions. Oh those yeah, those preconceived perceptions of

636
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,680
what anime is. And it's also just really really good.

637
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,039
And what's funny to me is even though so many

638
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,680
newer good anime come out that have like kind of

639
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:54,640
broken that and people know what anime is because it's

640
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,440
gotten so much more popular now, people still recommend Death Note.

641
00:28:57,559 --> 00:29:00,759
Death Notes always people's go to first anime for some reason,

642
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:04,359
because that's what people like. I run into people at volleyball.

643
00:29:04,359 --> 00:29:06,839
We're talking about anime and they've watched like four anime,

644
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,759
but one of them is always death No. It's so funny,

645
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:10,359
and it's.

646
00:29:10,279 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 2: Such a high quality manga too, right, Like Obata is

647
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,200
one of my favorite artists, so like, it just looks

648
00:29:14,279 --> 00:29:17,119
really good and then uh, yeah, you know for the anime,

649
00:29:17,279 --> 00:29:20,519
it's one of those where it does have a pretty

650
00:29:20,519 --> 00:29:23,119
solid ending. Some people like the first twenty five episodes

651
00:29:23,119 --> 00:29:24,559
a little bit more and stuff as well, but even

652
00:29:24,599 --> 00:29:28,839
if you stop there, it's still pretty good ending. And yeah,

653
00:29:28,839 --> 00:29:30,160
it's just one of those that just has a tone

654
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,359
where it takes itself pretty seriously. It doesn't have like

655
00:29:32,359 --> 00:29:34,599
a lot of slapstick comedy that I think that a

656
00:29:34,599 --> 00:29:37,920
lot of uh anime have it. It did make me

657
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:39,640
laugh a couple of times, but it's still it's very

658
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:43,559
like dry humor whenever it does right. So it it

659
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:44,440
just did feel.

660
00:29:44,319 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 3: Tone wise, very different from a lot of anime at

661
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:46,519
the time.

662
00:29:48,519 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 1: Code Yas is pretty is similar in a lot of ways.

663
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,079
Like it's one of those anime that is really intelligent,

664
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,920
really makes you think has a good like battle between uh,

665
00:29:58,000 --> 00:29:59,519
like we have we have l and Light and now

666
00:29:59,519 --> 00:30:03,960
we have Code Yas in the world. I mean, oh

667
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:05,440
my god, I'm gonna.

668
00:30:05,279 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 2: I'm gonna push back on that one a little bit.

669
00:30:07,319 --> 00:30:09,480
I do think Koyas is like my favorite series of

670
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:11,839
all time, So I do love it, okay, but I

671
00:30:11,839 --> 00:30:14,359
think it gets like too many unfair Death Note comparisons

672
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:16,319
just because they came out at the same time, and

673
00:30:16,839 --> 00:30:19,559
because the Luci and Light are both really smart. I

674
00:30:19,559 --> 00:30:22,160
feel like where Death Note is kind of contrary to

675
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,319
what you would picture a lot of anime being. Kodias

676
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,400
is like just the most anime anime, right. It throws

677
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,799
like almost every genre into one. It is the full package.

678
00:30:31,839 --> 00:30:37,960
It yeah, high school life, comedic, everything's kind of going crazy,

679
00:30:38,359 --> 00:30:42,599
and then there's other episodes where it is very serious, right,

680
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:46,079
tackling pretty crazy topics, a lot of a lot of

681
00:30:46,079 --> 00:30:48,640
different characters all over the place, a lot of strings

682
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:52,880
that attach all the things happening. I don't know, it's

683
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:56,240
hard to summarize in a short couple of sentences, but

684
00:30:56,319 --> 00:30:58,799
it just it felt like the perfect anime right where

685
00:30:58,839 --> 00:31:01,000
it didn't take itself too seriously, but at the same

686
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:02,319
time took things very seriously.

687
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,519
Speaker 1: You know what I think the comparison comes from as well.

688
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:08,200
It's those moments that you love from from Death Note.

689
00:31:08,279 --> 00:31:10,799
There's a lot of similar moments that I love from Kodyak.

690
00:31:10,839 --> 00:31:15,960
It's those moments of like the betrayal and the outsmarting

691
00:31:16,319 --> 00:31:18,799
and the master plan coming to fruition by the end,

692
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:23,440
and like it's like the flexing in these ways as well,

693
00:31:23,599 --> 00:31:27,720
through intelligence and these planning and this mastermind. I feel

694
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:30,960
like those moments of out smarting or what people like

695
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,680
about both series. But they're so different, of course, they're

696
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:34,200
so different.

697
00:31:34,279 --> 00:31:37,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I guess. And why they seem a little

698
00:31:37,519 --> 00:31:39,920
bit different than me as well is just because White

699
00:31:40,039 --> 00:31:42,079
was like a little bit of a sociopath, right, he

700
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,599
didn't really have like a lot of things tying him

701
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:46,279
down once he.

702
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 3: Had got corrupted by power.

703
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 2: Whereas luluche we see him like just kind of gradually,

704
00:31:52,039 --> 00:31:54,200
not gradually, just completely over and over have to like

705
00:31:54,279 --> 00:31:56,559
harden himself over the course of the series because he

706
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:58,839
still felt very human, right, he still had these things

707
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,079
that would like tie up back and ground him, like

708
00:32:01,119 --> 00:32:03,920
his sister and all these things he's fighting for, and

709
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,000
he almost had to like push past that, right. So

710
00:32:06,079 --> 00:32:08,680
it's a still one of the best endings in anime

711
00:32:08,759 --> 00:32:10,559
as well. Don't want to spoil that, but it's.

712
00:32:10,559 --> 00:32:13,039
Speaker 1: The fact, is my god, the ending of Code Chios

713
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:14,000
is a masterpiece.

714
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a reason it's still talked about to this day.

715
00:32:16,559 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 1: Right, it's a very funny people in Chad brought it

716
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,839
up death Note. Everyone's okay with spoiling it, like the

717
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:24,920
midpoint of death Note, because it happens in the middle

718
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,680
of what happens with with l Everyone's okay with spoiling it,

719
00:32:27,839 --> 00:32:30,440
Cody yask no one dares talk about that masterpieces of

720
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:30,880
an ending.

721
00:32:31,079 --> 00:32:34,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's crazy, you know, yeah, and you know it

722
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:36,960
also has the best WIFEU an anime see too, right,

723
00:32:37,319 --> 00:32:39,640
we got One of my favorite scenes is like the

724
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:43,599
giant pizza. They're making a giant pizza anime hysterical stuff, right,

725
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:45,720
and then that messes up and then there's just like

726
00:32:45,799 --> 00:32:49,079
this dramatic scene where pans across her looking so sad

727
00:32:49,119 --> 00:32:51,240
on the roof because she was looking forward to that pizza.

728
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:53,319
So it's you know, it's funny stuff like that mixed

729
00:32:53,319 --> 00:32:55,640
in with all the serious stuff that makes it one

730
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:57,200
of like the most anime anime right.

731
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:03,039
Speaker 1: Berserved nineteen ninety seven is my number eleven. It's kind

732
00:33:03,039 --> 00:33:04,759
of sad it doesn't. It's sad it doesn't make the

733
00:33:04,839 --> 00:33:09,160
top ten. I just having read Berserk, I just feel like, yeah,

734
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:11,359
so many parts after nineteen ninety seven that are some

735
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:14,440
of my favorites, and it never got adapted properly or

736
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:17,880
adapted at all, and it's just like, how can I

737
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,359
I mean, just isolated alone. Berzerk ninety nine seven is good.

738
00:33:20,359 --> 00:33:22,480
It just it ends where it begins, you know.

739
00:33:23,319 --> 00:33:26,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's basically the prologue, right, and it does do

740
00:33:26,359 --> 00:33:28,599
a good job of capturing that heart and solo berserk

741
00:33:28,599 --> 00:33:30,519
in some of the quiet moments. But at the same time,

742
00:33:30,559 --> 00:33:32,240
there's a lot of things that probably could have done better.

743
00:33:32,799 --> 00:33:34,400
It did tone down a lot. So yeah, if you're

744
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,359
ever comparing it too much to the mong in your head,

745
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,559
it's hard to live up right, It's never gotten a

746
00:33:39,559 --> 00:33:40,319
perfect adaptation.

747
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:41,799
Speaker 1: Yeap, that's true.

748
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 2: I respect it being on here, but yeah, at the

749
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:47,839
same time, I understand it not being overly high.

750
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:51,359
Speaker 1: At number twelve, I have FMA Brotherhood. I put FM

751
00:33:51,519 --> 00:33:54,079
slash Brotherhood because it's kind of like I really enjoyed

752
00:33:54,079 --> 00:33:57,279
the original Full Metal Alchemist, but then Brotherhood does it

753
00:33:57,319 --> 00:33:59,960
better with like the ending and like, so I feel

754
00:33:59,920 --> 00:34:02,720
like I just just watched both. I like watching both.

755
00:34:04,319 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I haven't seen I haven't rewatched O three, So

756
00:34:07,519 --> 00:34:09,400
take anything I say about that with a grain of salt.

757
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:14,280
The Brotherhood still so good manga, very good. People forget

758
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:20,519
how just solid FMA was, I think, because I don't know,

759
00:34:20,639 --> 00:34:22,559
people would praise it almost too much, to the point

760
00:34:22,599 --> 00:34:24,280
where it was seen as like the perfect the anime,

761
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,519
and then nowadays people don't hardly talk about it. I

762
00:34:26,519 --> 00:34:28,559
don't think either of those is necessarily true. But it

763
00:34:28,599 --> 00:34:31,880
was just like a very solid story foundationally from start

764
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,920
to finish. It had a creative world, building, creative world,

765
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:37,719
and likable characters in it. Put all that together, you know,

766
00:34:39,119 --> 00:34:41,760
I don't know, a very complete package, right, so very

767
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:42,679
satisfying package.

768
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 1: I don't only I say it kind of just does

769
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,840
everything well. It's very polished of a series, especially for

770
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:47,199
the time.

771
00:34:49,199 --> 00:34:51,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, with Brotherhood, I think my least favorite part, if

772
00:34:51,159 --> 00:34:53,079
I had to choose, would be some of the slapstick stuff.

773
00:34:53,079 --> 00:34:54,920
But even that, it doesn't do it bad, right, It's

774
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:58,400
just kinda kind of there, So, I mean.

775
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:03,159
Speaker 1: I found it funny. Yeah. Number thirteen Vinland Saga. Oh

776
00:35:03,199 --> 00:35:04,920
my god, I've read the manga. I need to catch

777
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,119
up and finish it. But it's just a masterpiece. I

778
00:35:08,159 --> 00:35:10,000
think it should be higher the more I think about it, it

779
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:10,639
should be higher.

780
00:35:12,159 --> 00:35:15,159
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, Vinland Saga's up there as well, one of

781
00:35:15,159 --> 00:35:18,960
my favorite manga. Solid anime. What's done a great job

782
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:19,960
of those first two seasons.

783
00:35:20,079 --> 00:35:23,639
Speaker 3: Hope to see more, Yeah, don't.

784
00:35:23,639 --> 00:35:24,800
Speaker 2: I don't know if I have a ton to say

785
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:27,880
about this one, aside from the fact that Season one,

786
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:29,880
in its entirety was just the prologue is crazy, and

787
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:31,239
I feel like it gets better from there.

788
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 1: So it's it's the character study and the development of

789
00:35:35,039 --> 00:35:39,320
Thorfin throughout him growing up is just so beautifully done.

790
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:39,920
I love it.

791
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,039
Speaker 2: I will say there's a lot of coming in age

792
00:35:44,039 --> 00:35:48,639
stories in media, and a lot of them are really

793
00:35:48,679 --> 00:35:51,320
well done. I love coming of age stories, but Thorphin's

794
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:53,960
is very unique because throughout that entire first season where

795
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,920
we're seeing kind of his origin stories and whatnot, it

796
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,079
doesn't feel like he's the main character at all, right,

797
00:35:59,119 --> 00:36:01,000
as it probably shouldn't. He's a kid, right, He's kind

798
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:05,920
of being pulled around by everybody else's whims and life. Right,

799
00:36:06,039 --> 00:36:07,880
just life can be crazy and chaotic, and he doesn't

800
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:10,239
have a lot of control over over most of that, right,

801
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,840
He's kind of a slave to his own emotions there.

802
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:16,440
So it's a it's crazy how well that's portrayed versus

803
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:18,880
just everything that goes past that, right, with him actually

804
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:23,079
growing up and becoming a man and becoming his own person,

805
00:36:23,159 --> 00:36:27,440
So moving past those things that happen, So.

806
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,880
Speaker 1: What's crazy is my number fourteen pick Samurai X. I

807
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:34,320
watched within the last three months, Right, it was it

808
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:37,920
was Jordan's recommendation on our podcast Rank Cafe where we're

809
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:40,679
just making each other watch anime, and it was just

810
00:36:41,599 --> 00:36:43,800
it was a perfect series. Like I don't think I

811
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,119
give I don't think in my top ten, I would

812
00:36:46,119 --> 00:36:47,599
not give a single one a ten out of ten.

813
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:50,039
Samurai X was close to it. I think I give

814
00:36:50,039 --> 00:36:51,880
SAMURAIX a ten out of ten. It was just perfection.

815
00:36:53,199 --> 00:36:56,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's it's so good. It doesn't overstay, it's welcome.

816
00:36:56,679 --> 00:36:59,639
It has a very serious tone that just met mixes

817
00:36:59,679 --> 00:37:01,719
with the I'm right, and I do love Samurai X

818
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,119
way more than I love just normal ra Roni Kenchin

819
00:37:04,199 --> 00:37:04,960
for whatever reason.

820
00:37:05,039 --> 00:37:06,719
Speaker 3: Right, it's just uh so much better.

821
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:09,320
Speaker 2: It just it feels like it's such a complete story,

822
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:12,400
just telling retelling that prologue and a in a different tone.

823
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 3: Right, the way that they put so much passion into

824
00:37:14,519 --> 00:37:15,320
it was perfect.

825
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:17,800
Speaker 1: I couldn't have asked for anything more. I the only

826
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:19,280
reason I wouldn't give it a ten is because, like,

827
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:22,199
oh maybe animation, dude. The animation was good too, and

828
00:37:22,199 --> 00:37:24,199
at a million years old, when did it come out?

829
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:26,559
Speaker 2: That's what the thing about an Ova, right is they

830
00:37:26,599 --> 00:37:27,760
kind of took their time with it and it was

831
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,559
only a few what four or five episodes. I forget

832
00:37:30,599 --> 00:37:34,199
how long Samurai X is, but uh what whatever they

833
00:37:34,199 --> 00:37:37,039
put into it, like, they went all out where when

834
00:37:37,079 --> 00:37:40,920
things were happening, So it holds holds up quality wise too.

835
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:43,880
Speaker 1: Jordan, did you finish my number fifteen? Pick Ping Pong

836
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:48,840
the animation? I pleaded the fifth I pleaded the fifteen

837
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:52,199
week for a future week. Please just watch.

838
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:53,119
Speaker 3: You need to finish it.

839
00:37:53,199 --> 00:37:55,800
Speaker 1: Walked all the Ping Pong and just talk about it.

840
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:59,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'm down. I loved sports anime. I loved

841
00:37:59,519 --> 00:38:02,079
those first few episodes. I need to finish.

842
00:38:02,039 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 1: Such a good storytelling. And you haven't seen anything short

843
00:38:05,039 --> 00:38:07,039
and you've watched two or three episodes. You literally haven't

844
00:38:07,039 --> 00:38:09,239
seen it. It's only a twelve episode series, right, But

845
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:11,599
I'm telling you, though they're just an introduction, it is

846
00:38:11,679 --> 00:38:14,480
so good. It's in my top fifteen for a reason.

847
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,639
Speaker 2: I've seen it decent. I watched four episodes I think

848
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,599
out of eleven, which makes it worse. But the fact

849
00:38:21,639 --> 00:38:23,559
I didn't finish it, but I need to do so

850
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:28,280
it gets stuff when we're watching like three shows for

851
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:31,239
that week or whatever, to three different ones. But that

852
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:34,719
one's one I haven't tooken off my watching list. There's

853
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:36,920
a lot of others I took off. That's not one

854
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:37,199
of them.

855
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:42,199
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, I will say we're there's no way we're

856
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:44,639
gonna get through alle hundred animals. Yeah, we're gone, but

857
00:38:45,119 --> 00:38:47,360
Recon's away for a little bit. Guys. He won't be

858
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:51,480
back until like maybe the end of March early April.

859
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:54,800
So maybe me and Jordan do this. We just go

860
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:57,639
through this list twenty episode at a time. Maybe we

861
00:38:57,760 --> 00:38:59,199
do a week where we just talk about ping pong.

862
00:38:59,639 --> 00:38:59,960
Who knows.

863
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:03,639
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I'm down for whatever. It's like you said,

864
00:39:03,679 --> 00:39:04,280
it's a long list.

865
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 2: We're definitely not geting through all these, but if nothing else,

866
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:08,280
definitely won't run out of.

867
00:39:08,199 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 3: Things to talk about.

868
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,320
Speaker 2: There's it's crazy how many of things I've seen. It

869
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:13,519
makes me curious, Like, I know I have like a

870
00:39:13,599 --> 00:39:15,119
number of the shows I've seen, but.

871
00:39:16,199 --> 00:39:18,320
Speaker 1: God, well, I mean a good amount of these you

872
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:20,880
recommended to me. Major was your recommendation coming in at

873
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:21,400
thirty one?

874
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:22,880
Speaker 2: Oh?

875
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 1: Let's like sometimes that's I just look at your Twitter

876
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:28,840
sometimes and like you like you when I when I'm

877
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:30,880
scrolling and I see that you talking about an anime,

878
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:32,960
I'm like, Jordan's got a good taste. I'll check it out.

879
00:39:34,159 --> 00:39:35,360
I'm not even fucking lying.

880
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:38,639
Speaker 2: I have very biased tastes too, though, I will say

881
00:39:38,679 --> 00:39:40,679
so like the things I like, I really like, and

882
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:44,119
they might not necessarily have that same mainstream appeal. But like,

883
00:39:44,159 --> 00:39:46,840
I really like sports series, right, so I've fel like

884
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:49,679
I've at least sampled like almost every sports series out there.

885
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:51,599
It feels like So Major is just one of those

886
00:39:51,599 --> 00:39:54,599
that stuck with me. It goes for like six seasons

887
00:39:54,639 --> 00:39:57,039
and then also has like Major Second for another couple

888
00:39:57,079 --> 00:40:01,079
of seasons. It's it's so good, Briggs.

889
00:40:01,079 --> 00:40:03,159
Speaker 1: Do I have to bribe you to do it with

890
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:05,599
my Top one hundred? The problem is I haven't seen

891
00:40:05,639 --> 00:40:07,159
a lot of the anime in your Top one hundred

892
00:40:07,199 --> 00:40:10,679
for sure. I mean, we could roaster Top one hundred

893
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:13,880
for a podcast, not for free. I don't do nothing

894
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:20,760
for free. Black Like, where did I skip to? Nora Gomi?

895
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:23,760
Speaker 3: Laura Gomi? What a throwback?

896
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:28,199
Speaker 1: I know the opening I haven't watched. I have rewatched it.

897
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:30,360
The openings are fantastic. It's just one of those series

898
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:32,519
that I do think it's better over time and has

899
00:40:32,559 --> 00:40:38,000
a good blend of like comedy but serious moments and

900
00:40:38,079 --> 00:40:43,039
badass moments and romance moments and heartfelt it like it

901
00:40:43,159 --> 00:40:44,840
just it's one of those series where I just think

902
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:47,599
it's like, oh, it's so chill, it's fun, but it

903
00:40:47,639 --> 00:40:50,119
just does everything well and does a little bit of everything,

904
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:51,079
if that makes sense.

905
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:53,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like it's one of those series where

906
00:40:54,679 --> 00:40:55,800
you still hear about the openings.

907
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:57,880
Speaker 3: The openings were bangers, you know, but.

908
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:02,559
Speaker 2: I've seen this recommended is like an underrated anime at times.

909
00:41:03,199 --> 00:41:06,960
And while that's true, it's like people forget how popular

910
00:41:07,119 --> 00:41:08,880
this series was when it was coming out, right, because

911
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:10,400
it was very good, right, and then it's it's one

912
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:11,599
of those things where it kind of fell off once

913
00:41:11,639 --> 00:41:12,599
we realize we're probably not.

914
00:41:12,519 --> 00:41:15,800
Speaker 3: Getting more of the anime. I think among only ended.

915
00:41:15,599 --> 00:41:18,079
Speaker 2: A couple couple of years ago, but it's it's very

916
00:41:18,119 --> 00:41:20,039
solid and a lot of things that did very funny

917
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:23,000
but also very action heavy, and the nailed that right,

918
00:41:23,079 --> 00:41:24,360
some good character moments.

919
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 1: I think when I think of Norgomed, I think of

920
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:28,559
season two a lot, and then I went and watched

921
00:41:28,559 --> 00:41:30,639
season one I'm like, it's a lot slower than I remember.

922
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:34,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, I remember the blonde girl and a lot of

923
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:38,800
focus around, like her little posse. I guess you'd say,

924
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:42,199
like in that second season, right, so what's her name again?

925
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:44,119
Speaker 1: Starts with the bee beam or something.

926
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:45,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, something like that.

927
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:48,280
Speaker 2: But she was a battie, right, so you want Waifu's

928
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:49,639
Norgami also has some.

929
00:41:49,599 --> 00:41:51,760
Speaker 1: Of that truth, and you got a little bit of

930
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:53,800
a romance between Yato and our main girl, if I

931
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,199
remember correctly. It's been a while since I've watched season two, but.

932
00:41:56,599 --> 00:41:58,960
Speaker 2: That's what It's hard for me to get too many

933
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:01,000
specifics because it has a little bit. I have not

934
00:42:01,039 --> 00:42:02,000
rewatched this one.

935
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:06,719
Speaker 1: But Black Lagoon at number seventeen balls to the wall

936
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:10,480
fucking action. And I said fucking action on purpose.

937
00:42:12,119 --> 00:42:14,280
Speaker 2: I mean, hey, if they can't handle you saying that,

938
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:16,719
then definitely they can't handle Black Lagoons. So don't go

939
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:20,320
into this expecting expecting anything to be held back. Right.

940
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:23,960
This is a series that I've rewatched a few different times.

941
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:25,400
It took me way too long to watch it for

942
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:30,159
the first time. But uh, guy, it is a vibe

943
00:42:30,159 --> 00:42:33,440
all its own. It's very depressing, very dark, but just

944
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:37,000
it still manages to have like action, it still manages

945
00:42:37,039 --> 00:42:39,599
to have comedy.

946
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 3: I don't know, I'm trying to think.

947
00:42:41,039 --> 00:42:44,079
Speaker 2: It just has like it's very own unique tone while

948
00:42:44,119 --> 00:42:44,800
going through all that.

949
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:46,639
Speaker 3: Right, So it's uh.

950
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:49,559
Speaker 1: I will say, up until this point, like I like,

951
00:42:49,639 --> 00:42:51,960
I'm like, so not what we're talking the anime we've

952
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:54,679
talked about, but the anime that I watched, like throughout

953
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:57,840
my life chronologically, A lot of the times I always

954
00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:00,280
like the main the male characters like my favorite because

955
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:03,079
we're always guys. And then I had like wife who's

956
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:05,599
girls that like I thought I liked as a character,

957
00:43:05,599 --> 00:43:08,039
but they are never my favorite. Black Lagoon was the

958
00:43:08,079 --> 00:43:12,519
first series where Revy was my favorite character in the series.

959
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:15,119
In the series, she is so badass and she was

960
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:18,639
just best girl hands down, not even a wife who

961
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:21,639
just bestirs. I loved it.

962
00:43:22,599 --> 00:43:25,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, it's very good series. A lot of guns,

963
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:28,559
a lot of a lot of Revy. She's kind of psycho,

964
00:43:28,639 --> 00:43:29,920
but like a in a hot way.

965
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:32,360
Speaker 3: And then uh, I don't, I don't know, I.

966
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:34,119
Speaker 2: Feel like, like, so.

967
00:43:34,119 --> 00:43:35,880
Speaker 3: This series does go to some very dark places.

968
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 2: I know. When the manga went on hiatus, I think

969
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:40,119
the author was suffering from like some depression and stuff

970
00:43:40,119 --> 00:43:42,000
like that, and I'm like, no wonder writing this for

971
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:44,800
you know, however, long stuff is bound to happen.

972
00:43:45,119 --> 00:43:47,760
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised whoever wrote this was depressed. It made sense.

973
00:43:48,119 --> 00:43:50,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, it goes to some dark places, so I guess

974
00:43:50,599 --> 00:43:52,440
be wary of that. And also I learned like twenty

975
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:55,480
new slurs I think from this series alone, Like they

976
00:43:55,519 --> 00:43:57,000
were saying things I'm like, I gotta look up at

977
00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,320
that even means like I never heard it half this

978
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:04,360
stuff right. It's it's weird too because I think Revy's

979
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:06,599
like Chinese American, but like she has like ten different

980
00:44:06,599 --> 00:44:09,159
words for other Chinese people that I am like, all right,

981
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:10,239
I never heard any of that.

982
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:15,800
Speaker 1: So number eighteen JoJo's just in general just just blanket

983
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:19,480
and JoJo's I like some arcs and some parts better

984
00:44:19,519 --> 00:44:22,760
than others. I'm a big fan of part two. I

985
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:26,000
like Part five a lot as well. I'm excited for

986
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:28,440
Part seven to come out. I just like JoJo's.

987
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:31,119
Speaker 2: You just got to get into the vibe of JoJo's

988
00:44:31,159 --> 00:44:32,760
is when I tell people, because it does have its

989
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:35,920
very own vibe and I wasn't quite messing with it.

990
00:44:36,519 --> 00:44:40,320
Too much over like the first four or five episodes,

991
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:42,199
because Part one people say it's a little bit slow.

992
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:44,800
I enjoyed it, but you like, ironically enjoy it because

993
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:47,920
it's very over the top, has a really good ending.

994
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:50,039
And then part two is great, one of my favorite parts.

995
00:44:50,599 --> 00:44:53,480
And then I love JoJo's in general. But like for

996
00:44:53,559 --> 00:44:54,920
most people, you just got to get into the vibe.

997
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:57,039
Once you're in that vibe, it's just it feels like

998
00:44:57,039 --> 00:44:58,920
a different world, right, It's like, no, it's.

999
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:01,559
Speaker 1: Fucking I have to say this. I'm sorry to cut

1000
00:45:01,559 --> 00:45:03,920
you off. It's so funny. I've tried to make my

1001
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:07,239
cousin watch anime. He will not finish an anime. He

1002
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:10,800
drops everything drop me. He watches a little bit of

1003
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:13,079
Rooney Kensen for some reason, like a bunch of that

1004
00:45:13,119 --> 00:45:14,840
he got. He got through a good amount of that,

1005
00:45:15,079 --> 00:45:18,960
but he dropped death note. He's dropped everything everything he drops.

1006
00:45:19,039 --> 00:45:21,559
Does doesn't really like anime. You know what. His favorite

1007
00:45:21,559 --> 00:45:28,360
anime is Joe JoJo's, but specifically Part one. Okay, he likes,

1008
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:30,639
he likes Part two. He watched all of Part three.

1009
00:45:30,679 --> 00:45:32,559
It's the furthest he's gotten in an anime. He didn't

1010
00:45:32,599 --> 00:45:34,559
watch anything past it because he just fucking I don't know,

1011
00:45:34,599 --> 00:45:38,000
he's busy, can't get him, can't get him to finish anything,

1012
00:45:38,039 --> 00:45:40,239
like whatever you watch, like, you'll watch like ten episodes

1013
00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:41,519
of death though He's like that it's pretty good, and

1014
00:45:41,519 --> 00:45:44,679
then never watch it again. His favorite anime Number one

1015
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:47,000
anime to this day is JoJo's Part one, and I

1016
00:45:47,039 --> 00:45:48,119
just find it so funny.

1017
00:45:48,599 --> 00:45:52,079
Speaker 2: I mean, JoJo's is one of those series where it's

1018
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:54,480
Part one's pretty poetic, right all in all, if you

1019
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:57,639
take those major story beats and and just look at those.

1020
00:45:57,719 --> 00:45:59,719
But the presentation is what I think takes a lot

1021
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:02,840
of people from getting used to. It's, uh, it's very

1022
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:05,920
over the top. It's like flamboyant mascul 'll entity a

1023
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:08,000
little bit as like uh as the the way they

1024
00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:12,519
resent themselves, the way they I don't know, there'll be

1025
00:46:12,519 --> 00:46:15,119
a lot of things that happened that don't really matter,

1026
00:46:15,639 --> 00:46:19,519
so like there's that as well, like, uh, I don't know,

1027
00:46:19,519 --> 00:46:21,400
it's just out there. It's like its own vibe and

1028
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:23,280
its own world, and it's like a fever dream watching

1029
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:25,599
it for the first time, right, So it's getting used

1030
00:46:25,599 --> 00:46:27,360
to that. You'll you'll you'll.

1031
00:46:27,159 --> 00:46:29,519
Speaker 3: Find a series unlike unlike any other.

1032
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:32,159
Speaker 1: It's just it's just so funny to me because everyone's like,

1033
00:46:32,159 --> 00:46:33,960
I love JoJo's, but part one was a little slow.

1034
00:46:34,039 --> 00:46:36,760
It's so different. I love Jojo's's my favorite, but you

1035
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:38,599
know part one, and then you get my cousin that's

1036
00:46:38,639 --> 00:46:41,920
just like part one is the best, and Loki he's

1037
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:44,320
like he's not anymore. He's definitely matured a lot, but

1038
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:47,559
like Loki, he's just Deo like he does genuinely remind

1039
00:46:47,679 --> 00:46:50,079
him Theo in a lot of ways. My cousin he

1040
00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:54,400
is the biggest, like troll charismatic, like he is just

1041
00:46:54,519 --> 00:46:55,559
Deo honestly like.

1042
00:46:55,679 --> 00:46:57,280
Speaker 2: That it was your cousin, but it was him, but

1043
00:46:57,360 --> 00:46:57,719
it was him.

1044
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:01,199
Speaker 1: He is so fucking I don't know, man. He like

1045
00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:03,960
he's very different nowadays, he's definitely grown up and matured.

1046
00:47:04,599 --> 00:47:07,119
But growing up with this guy he was he was

1047
00:47:07,159 --> 00:47:07,719
fucking deal.

1048
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:08,039
Speaker 2: It was.

1049
00:47:08,079 --> 00:47:10,119
Speaker 1: It was unbelievable the shit that he would do.

1050
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:13,039
Speaker 2: Jojo' is just one of those series is very meme heavy.

1051
00:47:13,119 --> 00:47:16,599
It's really good in a serious way without taking itself

1052
00:47:16,639 --> 00:47:19,360
too seriously. And then I do love that everybody, like

1053
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:21,360
you just said, has their own favorite part, right, So

1054
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:24,920
I think for me, my first watch through, I hated

1055
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:27,880
Part three. I didn't hate it, I just it was

1056
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:30,679
probably like my least favorite. I watched it again, I

1057
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:32,840
think it's my favorite part. Part three is my favorite part.

1058
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:35,440
So you're like, that's the squad. It's like a fifty

1059
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:39,920
episode journey, but very episodic feeling. But but yeah, matches

1060
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:42,920
that JoJo's tone right. Solid pick to have in the

1061
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:43,679
top twenty.

1062
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:48,880
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, Fate zero at nineteen and Fate staying. Unlimited

1063
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:51,000
Blade Works at twenty eight.

1064
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:54,039
Speaker 2: Zero is so good. Ginner Rabucci is the writer for

1065
00:47:54,079 --> 00:47:56,159
the light novels. It has that tone to it that's

1066
00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:59,159
just the pressing as hell. I don't know. For some reason,

1067
00:47:59,199 --> 00:48:01,039
I love it when series makes me sad and depressed.

1068
00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:03,760
It makes me feel something, and I'm a little sad.

1069
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:06,199
We didn't get Recon to watch this first. We had

1070
00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:07,840
him Watchunlimited Blade Works instead.

1071
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:10,000
Speaker 1: I thought it was a better chance of getting him

1072
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:11,719
to like it if we started with Unlimited Blade Work.

1073
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:12,639
I guess that was wrong.

1074
00:48:13,679 --> 00:48:18,760
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe Unlimited Blade Works is like definitely more. I

1075
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:20,360
feel like most people maybe like that better.

1076
00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:22,400
Speaker 3: Maybe I don't know.

1077
00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:25,719
Speaker 1: I don't love Fate zero is better, but Fate Stain

1078
00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:28,639
at Elemented Blade Works is more anime, if that makes sense.

1079
00:48:29,159 --> 00:48:31,039
Speaker 2: Face zero is my favorite, But at the same time,

1080
00:48:31,119 --> 00:48:33,480
it's it's one of those where it's very depressing, right,

1081
00:48:33,559 --> 00:48:36,679
It's you know where it ends, and it doesn't end

1082
00:48:36,679 --> 00:48:39,360
in a good spot. So they chose, uh, I guess

1083
00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:41,360
some background on this is, like, you know, I like

1084
00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:44,039
the writer Genna Rabucci. He does a lot of at

1085
00:48:44,119 --> 00:48:46,239
least back then stuff. He did a lot of interesting things.

1086
00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:48,920
He did the light novels for Black Lagoon, he did

1087
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:52,280
the Medoka anime he wrote for that. There's a few

1088
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:55,400
others I could maybe name, but Phantom recordom of the Phantom.

1089
00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:58,159
But one of his quotes is that he doesn't feel like,

1090
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:02,480
you know, anime watchers like deserve the happy ending or

1091
00:49:02,559 --> 00:49:05,719
like that characters aren't truly happy and like everything's always

1092
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:08,960
going to be depressing, right, So they chose for the

1093
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:11,199
prequel for Fate zero. Whenever they're looking for a writer

1094
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:13,320
for those light novels, they knew how it was going

1095
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:15,960
to end because of how the visual novel starts, right,

1096
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:19,719
and he was in a bit of a like a

1097
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:22,519
writer's blocked at that time. So the fact that they

1098
00:49:22,559 --> 00:49:24,559
made that work. They're like this guy that ends thincts pressing,

1099
00:49:24,599 --> 00:49:26,239
and we got to have a series that ends the

1100
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:29,760
pressing to match up with this. It just fits so well.

1101
00:49:32,199 --> 00:49:33,360
I don't know, I don't I don't want to gush

1102
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:35,119
over that too much. But Fate's good and Fate zero

1103
00:49:35,199 --> 00:49:35,880
is like the best faith.

1104
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:38,079
Speaker 1: All right, our goal, Our goal is to get through

1105
00:49:38,079 --> 00:49:41,440
twenty five anime here. Okay, So you Hackey Show, You

1106
00:49:41,599 --> 00:49:43,480
Hockey Show, which is just still I want to go

1107
00:49:43,519 --> 00:49:46,199
back and rewatch it. It's a classic. I'm a big fan.

1108
00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:48,480
I still to this day like it more than Hunter Hunter,

1109
00:49:49,159 --> 00:49:51,599
which is kind of crazy because Hunter hunters better, but

1110
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:53,719
You Hackey Show just has better characters, or I like

1111
00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:54,760
the characters so much more.

1112
00:49:55,599 --> 00:49:57,840
Speaker 2: Hunter Hunter feels more polished in a lot of ways.

1113
00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:00,840
I feel like, whereas you Hawk Show might feel like

1114
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:02,920
a bit of a rough draft at times, with how

1115
00:50:03,239 --> 00:50:04,880
a little bit rougher around the edges. It's not like

1116
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:08,400
everything's planned out exactly, but it does have some of

1117
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:11,239
that raw energy in a good way. Right, Like I

1118
00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:13,440
rewatched it a couple of years back, and maybe a

1119
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:15,719
few years back now, but it holds up like it's

1120
00:50:16,039 --> 00:50:18,199
very good and one of the most likable main cast

1121
00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:22,000
in anime. And then it does some of the formulaic

1122
00:50:22,039 --> 00:50:25,840
stuff with battle showing in is that like I don't know.

1123
00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:29,159
I don't want to say like it did the things

1124
00:50:29,159 --> 00:50:30,920
that are like cliche or whatnot, because I feel like

1125
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:33,159
it popularized those things, right, like the Dark Tournament, one

1126
00:50:33,159 --> 00:50:35,880
of the best tournaments, Chapter Black after that, where you

1127
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:39,400
have like the things that kind of subvert expectations there,

1128
00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:40,559
Like I.

1129
00:50:40,519 --> 00:50:43,719
Speaker 1: Feel like it's very simplistic, but it's simplistic looking back

1130
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:46,199
nowadays at the time you're like, this is perfect and

1131
00:50:46,199 --> 00:50:47,239
it's doing it all so well.

1132
00:50:49,119 --> 00:50:52,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like how raw it is really helps

1133
00:50:52,679 --> 00:50:54,840
some of the emotional parts. And then also like the

1134
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:56,719
action and everything else on top of that is still

1135
00:50:56,760 --> 00:50:59,119
just very good. Right, It doesn't have to be polished

1136
00:50:59,119 --> 00:51:01,039
and perfect, like Hunter a hund is to be a

1137
00:51:01,159 --> 00:51:01,920
very good series.

1138
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:03,440
Speaker 1: I mean, at the end of the day, like when

1139
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:05,079
I try to think, like logically and critically, I'm like

1140
00:51:05,119 --> 00:51:09,079
Hunter Hunter power systems better and there's these deeper moments

1141
00:51:09,079 --> 00:51:11,400
that are so good and it has so much going

1142
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:13,639
for it Hunter Hunter. But when I think about what

1143
00:51:13,679 --> 00:51:15,480
I would what I would rather go back and rewatch

1144
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:18,840
You Hawckey Show all day for Kuwabara and my boy.

1145
00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:19,000
Speaker 2: U s K.

1146
00:51:19,519 --> 00:51:22,639
Speaker 1: I used think I respect it, this pure just emotion.

1147
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:25,440
What would I rather watch you Hawckey Show? So how

1148
00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:26,920
could I not put it higher on that list?

1149
00:51:27,039 --> 00:51:29,599
Speaker 2: You know, I still think the chapter Black Saga is

1150
00:51:29,639 --> 00:51:31,599
like one of my favorite showing in arcs in all

1151
00:51:31,639 --> 00:51:33,880
of anime. Right, it's just the and Dark Tournament, Like

1152
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:35,679
both of those are just up there as like two

1153
00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:38,079
of the the top arks in general. And then I

1154
00:51:38,159 --> 00:51:39,480
kind of had it a little bit of a rushed ending,

1155
00:51:39,519 --> 00:51:42,760
but still very good. Hunter Hunters are my top five

1156
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:45,679
anime so like I you know, it.

1157
00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:47,440
Speaker 3: Might be a little bit disagreement there, but they're both

1158
00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:51,119
top tier. No disagreements. I'm agreeing a little.

1159
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:51,480
Speaker 2: Bit too much.

1160
00:51:51,559 --> 00:51:54,679
Speaker 1: I think it's a fair point to most people would

1161
00:51:54,679 --> 00:51:58,039
like Hunter Hunter more. I'm a very character driven person.

1162
00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:01,039
You couldn't tell ye fair enough.

1163
00:52:01,239 --> 00:52:02,960
Speaker 2: I think Uk is one of the best like shown

1164
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:04,760
in main characters out there, right, I'd have him on

1165
00:52:04,840 --> 00:52:05,760
my Mount rushmore.

1166
00:52:06,559 --> 00:52:08,760
Speaker 1: He's just so cool but also like his layers to

1167
00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:12,480
his character. I love it anyway, Your name at number

1168
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:16,360
twenty three. My first movie I don't know. At a

1169
00:52:16,360 --> 00:52:18,760
certain point, I'm like, yeah, we'll start doing movies too.

1170
00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:20,800
I love you.

1171
00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:23,719
Speaker 2: Your Name was. Your Name was good because it took

1172
00:52:24,519 --> 00:52:26,840
the masterpiece that was like the Grand Blue live action

1173
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:28,599
and it was like, you know what, we can we

1174
00:52:28,599 --> 00:52:30,719
can make a parody of this, right we can. We

1175
00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:35,000
can go above and beyond and make our own story

1176
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:38,760
that you know, kind of mirrors the greatness we see

1177
00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:42,119
in that that live action film. So, uh yeah, Your

1178
00:52:42,199 --> 00:52:45,159
Name pretty decent overall. Not a bad film by any means.

1179
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:47,280
Took the world by storm when it came out.

1180
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:49,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, it did. And I think it's another one of

1181
00:52:49,559 --> 00:52:51,280
those things where it's like I watched it when it

1182
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:54,960
came out and like subbed, and then I made Lauren

1183
00:52:55,039 --> 00:52:57,840
go watch it with me in theaters dubbed, and then

1184
00:52:57,840 --> 00:52:59,800
I re watched it another time. I watched it like

1185
00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:02,360
four five times right now, So like just the pure

1186
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:06,920
rewatch value, the highs and lows in the series. It

1187
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:08,559
was one of those things where like I knew where

1188
00:53:08,599 --> 00:53:10,480
it was going, but I wasn't sure. I don't know.

1189
00:53:10,519 --> 00:53:11,320
I like it a lot.

1190
00:53:12,559 --> 00:53:18,119
Speaker 2: Makoto Shinkai is one of those, uh, really creative directors

1191
00:53:18,159 --> 00:53:20,599
when it comes to quality and whatnot. Like everything's always

1192
00:53:20,639 --> 00:53:22,559
feels so top quality in his films between like the

1193
00:53:22,639 --> 00:53:25,840
music and the animation and everything a little.

1194
00:53:25,679 --> 00:53:26,199
Speaker 3: Bit out there.

1195
00:53:26,320 --> 00:53:29,079
Speaker 2: It's like the plots, right, But I do feel like

1196
00:53:29,079 --> 00:53:33,280
your name has one of those easier to like get

1197
00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:35,280
into plots, Like it is one of those that like

1198
00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:38,239
really just makes the whole film high quality. Everything with

1199
00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:40,000
people have seen pretty private, they can kind of get

1200
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:42,400
behind that, right. It's just a good romance story that

1201
00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:45,360
actually doesn't have a depressing ending, right, And it kind of.

1202
00:53:45,639 --> 00:53:47,800
Speaker 1: What were you saying about the author's plots, I kind

1203
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:49,079
of cut you off, and I think you cut out

1204
00:53:49,079 --> 00:53:49,920
a little bit there.

1205
00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:52,480
Speaker 2: Oh gotch. I was just saying, like everything is always

1206
00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:54,360
so high quality about his movies, but his plots are

1207
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:56,440
always like a little bit out there. Like I don't

1208
00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:58,199
know if you've seen some of his other movies and stuff,

1209
00:53:58,239 --> 00:54:00,400
but like the one that comes to mind for me

1210
00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:02,760
is like Weathering with You, I think is what it

1211
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:03,960
was called it.

1212
00:54:04,599 --> 00:54:06,280
Speaker 3: I watched it in theaters a little bit after.

1213
00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:08,679
Speaker 2: I hopefully I'm not speaking out my ass here and

1214
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:11,599
just messing everything up on like what he's done, But like.

1215
00:54:11,559 --> 00:54:15,320
Speaker 3: Weathering with You, was it? Was interesting, but it was

1216
00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:15,920
also just.

1217
00:54:18,159 --> 00:54:19,360
Speaker 2: I don't know. It was weird in a lot of

1218
00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:21,639
ways to me, like I didn't quite understand what was

1219
00:54:21,639 --> 00:54:23,800
going on, whereas with Your Name, I could actually follow

1220
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:27,880
what was going on, if that makes sense. Like everything

1221
00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:29,679
else that I've watched of him, it's like, I don't

1222
00:54:29,719 --> 00:54:31,599
know what's going on, but I like it. Your Name

1223
00:54:31,639 --> 00:54:32,679
it was a little bit of both. I was like,

1224
00:54:32,679 --> 00:54:34,480
I like it and I know what's going on.

1225
00:54:35,039 --> 00:54:37,880
Speaker 1: It was just like it did it all? I will

1226
00:54:37,880 --> 00:54:40,559
say it did it all. Rad Wimbs killed the music,

1227
00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:44,519
I don't know. The plot was good, the romance was good.

1228
00:54:44,639 --> 00:54:46,880
It told like a pretty it was still a unique

1229
00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:50,000
concept like it's been done before, but it's pretty unique

1230
00:54:50,039 --> 00:54:53,159
and different. I loved it. I loved it, and I'm

1231
00:54:53,199 --> 00:54:56,039
you know, that's my my hopeless romantic in me. Another

1232
00:54:56,079 --> 00:54:58,599
another romance series. Who would have thought Brigo, who would

1233
00:54:58,599 --> 00:54:58,960
have thought?

1234
00:55:00,079 --> 00:55:00,440
Speaker 2: Respect?

1235
00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:02,280
Speaker 1: We thought we liked all the all the all the

1236
00:55:02,280 --> 00:55:04,800
bros and the Chads and the showden Anime. But the

1237
00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:06,880
parts I liked about these showden Anime where there was

1238
00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:12,199
the romance clearly clearly where are we We're albably twenty

1239
00:55:12,239 --> 00:55:15,199
four mob Psycho was just another anime where it's just like, ah,

1240
00:55:15,199 --> 00:55:16,760
it's the closest I could give to a ten out

1241
00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:18,840
of ten, you know, just absolutely perfect.

1242
00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:21,280
Speaker 2: I'd probably have Mob in like my top ten. Like

1243
00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:24,360
I love Mob. I think it's I enjoy it quite

1244
00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:26,559
a bit more even than One punch Man, Like it's just, uh,

1245
00:55:27,079 --> 00:55:28,599
it's one of those series that just feels like the

1246
00:55:28,639 --> 00:55:31,440
complete package. Like I said, it's just a coming up

1247
00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:34,559
age story done really well, right, So him trying to

1248
00:55:34,559 --> 00:55:38,119
find himself and become like a more confident in his

1249
00:55:38,159 --> 00:55:40,440
own skin and the things around that.

1250
00:55:40,519 --> 00:55:43,360
Speaker 1: So my memory is so bad. What's Mob's mentor's name?

1251
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:45,199
Speaker 3: Reagan? Reagan.

1252
00:55:45,199 --> 00:55:47,199
Speaker 1: Reagan's one of my favorite characters, even though I couldn't

1253
00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:49,519
remember his name, not just in Mob Psycho, but just

1254
00:55:49,559 --> 00:55:53,119
in anime in general. I feel like I'm a little

1255
00:55:53,159 --> 00:55:55,039
bit relatable too. I kind of I feel like I

1256
00:55:55,039 --> 00:55:56,840
relate to Reagan in a few ways, as as an

1257
00:55:56,840 --> 00:56:00,480
older man trying to figure out his life and make it.

1258
00:56:00,039 --> 00:56:02,800
Speaker 2: Make it till you make it right and yeah, and

1259
00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:04,880
it's one of those things where it kind of goes

1260
00:56:04,920 --> 00:56:06,199
back to what we were saying at the very start

1261
00:56:06,199 --> 00:56:08,760
of this Rank Cafe episode, right as far as a

1262
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:12,039
good student teacher relationship is going to have, you know,

1263
00:56:12,079 --> 00:56:14,239
the student learning a lot, but also the teacher learning

1264
00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:16,679
as well alongside him. And I feel like that's what

1265
00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:18,480
we get with Mob in Reagan, right, So whichever one

1266
00:56:18,519 --> 00:56:20,440
you relate to more at whatever point you're at in

1267
00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:23,039
your life, there's gonna be something to latch onto.

1268
00:56:22,800 --> 00:56:23,960
Speaker 3: There as you go through their journey.

1269
00:56:25,639 --> 00:56:26,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's true.

1270
00:56:26,320 --> 00:56:28,199
Speaker 2: Reagan matures a lot over the course of the series too.

1271
00:56:28,159 --> 00:56:31,079
Speaker 1: So oh my god, and season two, especially his relationship

1272
00:56:31,119 --> 00:56:33,840
between Reagan and Mob is just so beautifully done.

1273
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:37,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's season two.

1274
00:56:37,199 --> 00:56:37,679
Speaker 3: I think.

1275
00:56:39,159 --> 00:56:41,199
Speaker 2: It was still still probably my favorite season if I

1276
00:56:41,239 --> 00:56:43,880
had to choose, especially like the midway points in it,

1277
00:56:44,599 --> 00:56:49,199
like episodes like four through eight, especially just top tier

1278
00:56:49,280 --> 00:56:53,480
anime ten out of ten. But yeah, overall, just still

1279
00:56:53,519 --> 00:56:55,360
the whole series in its entirety just feels like a

1280
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:56,119
complete package.

1281
00:56:56,159 --> 00:56:58,280
Speaker 3: So love Mob, love Reagan.

1282
00:56:59,159 --> 00:57:01,000
Speaker 2: Not much else to say that aside from uh, it's

1283
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:03,519
also just given like a very high quality adaptation by

1284
00:57:03,559 --> 00:57:07,840
Studio Bones, like as far as frames per second or whatnot,

1285
00:57:07,880 --> 00:57:10,800
Like the the amount of animation with those simple character designs.

1286
00:57:10,800 --> 00:57:12,320
They went above and beyond. Oh, it's one of the

1287
00:57:12,360 --> 00:57:13,639
best shows I've seen.

1288
00:57:13,800 --> 00:57:16,239
Speaker 1: I agree it was. It was beautifully animated, but in

1289
00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:18,400
a different way than something like Demon Slayer. It was

1290
00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:20,400
a different type of polished and it was a type

1291
00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:22,639
of animation that I love, like it still felt very

1292
00:57:22,639 --> 00:57:23,519
two D in nature.

1293
00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:28,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, and there there's a lot of shows that look

1294
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:31,719
good or look pretty, especially like with like with like

1295
00:57:31,719 --> 00:57:34,400
with vinlind Saga and whatnot, where it's almost like hyper

1296
00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:35,440
realistic at times.

1297
00:57:35,199 --> 00:57:36,360
Speaker 3: But there's not like a lot of movement.

1298
00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:38,559
Speaker 2: But then you get the complete opposite with mob right,

1299
00:57:38,599 --> 00:57:41,840
where the characters designs are so simple and so you know,

1300
00:57:42,039 --> 00:57:44,719
just kind of cartoony in general, but because of that,

1301
00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:47,039
they're able to do so much with it, right and

1302
00:57:47,159 --> 00:57:49,360
just go above and beyond, like it some of the

1303
00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:51,840
action sequences to the stage still just like blow me away,

1304
00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:53,519
Like some of those fights at the end of season

1305
00:57:53,519 --> 00:57:55,400
two are some of the best fights probably I've seen

1306
00:57:55,440 --> 00:57:58,320
an anime. Right, Uh, I'm thinking about the one with

1307
00:57:58,360 --> 00:58:00,280
like the the guy that can like teleport and all

1308
00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:02,440
that tell me that's not one of the best spits

1309
00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:06,679
in anime, right, So it's another stolet pick crazy shame,

1310
00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:07,719
this one's only at twenty four.

1311
00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:08,719
Speaker 3: That's what I'm going to roast you for.

1312
00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:11,079
Speaker 1: This is I was just thinking the same thing. I

1313
00:58:11,079 --> 00:58:12,760
don't even want to argue back. I'm like, this could

1314
00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:13,360
be higher.

1315
00:58:13,199 --> 00:58:15,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, this could be It's like my top ten. So

1316
00:58:15,360 --> 00:58:15,920
I love Mob.

1317
00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:20,840
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll swap Mob Psycho with Brasik nineteen ninety seven.

1318
00:58:22,239 --> 00:58:24,039
I think it's a part of me that puts Berserk

1319
00:58:24,079 --> 00:58:25,400
there just because I feel like it should be there

1320
00:58:25,400 --> 00:58:27,599
based on the manga, even though it's an anime list.

1321
00:58:28,800 --> 00:58:30,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I mean that's fair.

1322
00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:33,760
Speaker 2: I give the Berserk anime like a solid like seven

1323
00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:35,280
out of ten in my mind, and then I have

1324
00:58:35,360 --> 00:58:38,199
like the manga in my top probably not my top

1325
00:58:38,239 --> 00:58:40,559
number one spot, right, so it's like definitely top five,

1326
00:58:40,639 --> 00:58:42,880
but my favorite manga of all time. So it's it's

1327
00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:44,679
hard to differentiate the two a little bit though.

1328
00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:48,559
Speaker 1: For sure, High Q at number twenty five, which will

1329
00:58:48,559 --> 00:58:50,079
be the last anime we're talking about, We're about to

1330
00:58:50,119 --> 00:58:52,880
hit the hour market, which is perfect timing. High Q

1331
00:58:53,199 --> 00:58:56,079
is a sports anime. It's an absolute classic sports anime,

1332
00:58:56,559 --> 00:58:59,320
and it maybe helps that I play volleyball, but I

1333
00:58:59,320 --> 00:59:02,079
think even if you don't play volleyball, it's just the team,

1334
00:59:02,400 --> 00:59:06,280
The team itself is so fantastic together. It's not just

1335
00:59:06,320 --> 00:59:09,320
following the journey of one kid that could jump high.

1336
00:59:09,360 --> 00:59:11,800
It's following the journey of the squad, and they're ups

1337
00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:12,639
and downs together.

1338
00:59:14,199 --> 00:59:18,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not just that it does a good job

1339
00:59:18,159 --> 00:59:19,800
of like having a whole cast of characters from other

1340
00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:22,039
schools as well, kind of like it makes you care

1341
00:59:22,079 --> 00:59:25,400
about who they're playing against, so you're invested regardless in

1342
00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:29,119
every single match. And then, uh, I don't know, Hiq's

1343
00:59:29,199 --> 00:59:31,320
one of those I love sports series. I'm gonna be

1344
00:59:31,320 --> 00:59:34,679
biased there. I've also read all of Hiq. I've watched

1345
00:59:34,679 --> 00:59:38,519
all the Hiq. I love it a lot, But it

1346
00:59:38,559 --> 00:59:42,360
doesn't try to do anything that like subverts expectations in

1347
00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:44,239
a lot of ways. It just feels like a very

1348
00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:46,760
highly polished sports anime, right, Like, it just feels like

1349
00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:48,960
one of the best that the genre has to offer

1350
00:59:49,280 --> 00:59:51,840
in a very straightforward way, and nothing wrong with that. Like,

1351
00:59:51,960 --> 00:59:53,920
I love it so it's it would definitely be like

1352
00:59:53,920 --> 00:59:56,000
in my top five sports anime probably all the time.

1353
00:59:56,519 --> 01:00:00,159
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, you'd love to see it, all right, it's

1354
01:00:00,159 --> 01:00:02,199
my top twenty five favorite anime. I hope you hope

1355
01:00:02,199 --> 01:00:05,079
you guys got some anime recommendations or got something to do,

1356
01:00:05,199 --> 01:00:07,840
agreed or disagreed with. We're gonna go through twenty six

1357
01:00:07,880 --> 01:00:09,960
through fifty. Maybe next week that might be the plan.

1358
01:00:11,360 --> 01:00:13,280
Speaker 2: It sounds good to me. I'm always down the yap

1359
01:00:13,400 --> 01:00:16,239
about anime. But I will say, hopefully the list gets worse,

1360
01:00:16,360 --> 01:00:19,119
because roasting me if not roasting you enough. This is

1361
01:00:19,840 --> 01:00:21,239
I said I was going to roast you. I was

1362
01:00:21,320 --> 01:00:22,679
hoping for some worse taste here.

1363
01:00:22,880 --> 01:00:24,599
Speaker 1: I mean, it's my top twenty five. I would hope

1364
01:00:24,599 --> 01:00:27,239
it would be pretty decent. But yeah, twenty six through fifty,

1365
01:00:27,280 --> 01:00:30,280
maybe he could actually do his job this time and

1366
01:00:30,400 --> 01:00:33,840
roast me. But yeah, I hope everyone enjoyed. And also

1367
01:00:33,960 --> 01:00:35,480
the fact that it's sys me and Jordan for a

1368
01:00:35,519 --> 01:00:37,840
little bit. It doesn't need to be Sunday at one o'clock.

1369
01:00:37,960 --> 01:00:40,440
We could kind of move around our schedules and figure

1370
01:00:40,480 --> 01:00:42,000
something out a lot easier, you know.

1371
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:44,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, let me know what works best for you.

1372
01:00:44,800 --> 01:00:47,760
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, I mean even like a weeknight or Saturday

1373
01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:50,159
or Sunday, whatever, it doesn't matter. Now we don't need

1374
01:00:50,159 --> 01:00:52,519
to keep it below before one. Yeah, which is fantastic

1375
01:00:52,519 --> 01:00:55,519
because like I'm available to like make Yeah, time zones

1376
01:00:55,519 --> 01:00:57,320
make it rough. We're like only one hour apart, so

1377
01:00:57,360 --> 01:00:59,119
we could do like a three pm, we could do

1378
01:00:59,159 --> 01:01:02,079
a seven pm. You know, like it's a lot easier.

1379
01:01:02,920 --> 01:01:05,000
Speaker 2: You seven pm. I'm in bed by that time. What

1380
01:01:05,039 --> 01:01:05,719
are you talking about.

1381
01:01:05,960 --> 01:01:07,000
Speaker 1: That's why I didn't say nine.

1382
01:01:07,039 --> 01:01:07,800
Speaker 2: I was say nine.

1383
01:01:07,840 --> 01:01:12,159
Speaker 1: I'm like, maybe i'll say seven for for Jordan. Anyway,
