Speaker 1: Are you dudes talking about anime?
Speaker 2: Guess it's important to hit what they say are your
webers around night and day.
Speaker 3: And now that you listen to the Ran Cafe.
Speaker 4: Yo, what is up?
Speaker 1: Boys?
Speaker 4: How's it going? And welcome back to another episode of
the Rant Cafe Anime podcast. We're still going and this
time we're talking. We're talking about Recon's anime list. We're
roasting the second half of his list, or honestly, we
only went through seventeen anime last time. What up anime? Recon?
Speaker 1: Mm?
Speaker 5: Hmm?
Speaker 4: What the fuck was that?
Speaker 1: Hello? Just soup it on some water? Getting ready because
it's gonna be thirsty from here on out.
Speaker 5: Oh, let's go, let's go. I'm excited.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna be thirsty because this list is dry.
Speaker 1: God, I'm getting thirsty right now because it's gonna be good.
Speaker 4: Okay, Okay, it's gonna be a bunch of etchy, isn't it?
Speaker 3: Anyway? With us?
Speaker 4: Today we got Jordan the anime dude. How's it going?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 4: What's up?
Speaker 5: Everybody?
Speaker 6: Happy to be here going over a list that is
very unapologetically recon. That's the best adjective I can come
up with. And uh yeah, it's gonna be fun, it's
gonna be exciting.
Speaker 4: And we got Marcus here to help us out with
some of the anime that we haven't watched.
Speaker 3: Yeah, hello, I'm here to help out and drop some
knowledge that the others just don't have.
Speaker 4: Appreciate you man, all right. So we talked about Charlotte last,
moving on to number eighteen at Overlord, which is Loki
Akai that I like quite a bit. So I'm not
hating on Overlord. I don't know where it is in
my list. I can't really remember. But even though eighteen
might seem a little a little high on the list
for people, I think it's fine. I'm okay with it.
Speaker 6: You know, I defended ricon all last week. But you
guys know, if somebody has to have the job to
hate on Overlord, and I've taken up that mantle, worst
day Issa guy out there, Pooh, it's awful.
Speaker 1: What What do you hate about Overlord? What's wrong with it?
Speaker 6: I hate that there's literally no stakes and nobody else
in the New World that can even come close to
giving him and his forces a hard time. So like
he's the villain. And that's the twist, is.
Speaker 1: That, like you know that's about. Yeah, that's about.
Speaker 6: Even his whole crew are evil, and like it makes
me mad because there's potential in all these side characters
that they introduce, but it's like they introduce all these
side characters just to basically have irons and crew flex
on him, and they'll never be able to even come
close to breaking a fingernail, like a pinky nail on
you know, one of one of his minions, right, So
I don't know, it's I feel like it just gets
old after a while. I just wasn't a big fan
of it had potential, and that's.
Speaker 5: What makes me mad about it, But I don't know.
Speaker 4: I hate Overlord, be honest. The first time I watched it,
right when I first started watching it, I wasn't in
love with the side characters. As time went on, I
do like the side killer characters a lot, even though
they're not necessarily powerful. I think them being very weak
and helpless adds to the story in a way. But
it's just a different perspective.
Speaker 6: Sometimes it's either just submit or or die, and it's
like or torture or what have you.
Speaker 4: So I could see your complaints.
Speaker 5: Well, those things I liked overloaded when it first came out.
Speaker 6: I used to have it like top five to denisea guy,
but I don't know, I just got over it after
a while.
Speaker 5: I've seen four seasons.
Speaker 4: You were hoping for like another player character or like
something something, something big, big to happen to the world
as it expanded, as we got like introduced to more
of it. And I feel like the challenge we got
was season one, right, and then from there, dude, then
the biggest challenge was Nasarek versus Nazarek, just him versus
his own NBC exactly.
Speaker 1: Okay, But did you guys watch season two aka The
Lizard Arc?
Speaker 4: I did, yes, yes, what about it did not? Did
not sway me in my opinions, And though there were
certain arts that were just like kind of boring and
like really just felt like it was taken away from
like the main story. I feel like, if it was
done well, it could have been really really good. But
I still I'm still a big fan. I'm still I'm
still a big fan.
Speaker 6: All right, he went end, he flexed on him. They
submitted where they died one of those two for each
of the Lizard Man.
Speaker 5: Most of the Lizen Men work for him now.
Speaker 4: Okay, but the way they handled the way that they
handled the flex is quite well done.
Speaker 5: In a word, Oh yeah, no, it's it's all right.
Speaker 6: Like he like I said, they came up with the
grand stairs and everything. He had a good appearance. We
get it from the lizard man perspective to where they
don't they don't know what the hell is going on, right,
So I get if you like flexes and overpowered man characters,
but uh, I don't know.
Speaker 5: I don't know. I just like to hate on it.
Speaker 4: One of my favorite reveals. It was so good. It
was basically it looked like Eines was fighting these two
guys that were like supposedly like really really really powerful,
and Iines was for the most part like putting up
a good fight, but it was kind of kind of
more even, which made us think that there are some
people in the world that are more powerful. And then
it was one of Innes's minions, just like pretending to
be Iron's. Like it was like, I love those little
fucking reverses and reveals.
Speaker 1: Wait, one of minions. They were wearing his his armor, right,
that armor? This is the night a Black Knight? Correct?
Speaker 4: Uh not even that it was. It was one of
them where one of his guys is able to copy
his like his look and how to pretend to be him.
Speaker 3: M that's the one in the German uniform. Yes, he's
a shape shifter.
Speaker 4: Honestly, I love Overlord. I'm a big fan. I'll rewatch
it again today. Another anime that I'm not a big
fan of is up next Shimta Okay, go ahead, I'll
go ahead, talk about Overload feel Free.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm really glad that Overlord is here, even though
it's pretty high on this eighteen for me, just barely
didn't crack the top one hundred. But I thought season
three was really lackluster for how hype it was, especially
with the goats. They looked just terrible. I was so sad.
I was so sad to see that. And I also
saw someone do a comparison between Overlord and Slimey Sikai
with how both are kind of like a civilization type
of anime, but.
Speaker 7: The way that Rimuu and ems act is completely different,
Like one is like bowdown to me or you'll die,
and the other is like, come with me.
Speaker 3: And we'll make a great family with everyone kind of together.
Something like that.
Speaker 4: I also love the concept of someone playing a villain.
Like that's why I also like Eminence in Shadow or whatever,
like it's someone like playing a role the chat.
Speaker 6: And so the last thing I'll say on Overlord is
I love Eminence in Shadows so much better because Sid
such an unapologetic judybo that is just playing a role.
Speaker 5: But with over the Load, he does gradually.
Speaker 6: Like he starts out that way, right, he's playing a role.
He's kind of just eas the guy.
Speaker 5: He supposed to be.
Speaker 6: A normal businessman, but he gradually does like become evil
and like he loses the human part of himself very
quickly over.
Speaker 5: The course of the series.
Speaker 6: And there's very little there's no focus on it really,
Like it doesn't really focus on it in the same
way like a parasite or something would, Right, So that's true.
Speaker 3: I feel like the side characters are I'm more of
a focus. I feel like it is more of like
a device that moves the world. Yeah, because he's like
the looming threat, the strongest creature that exists probably and
it's like all the side characters that move around him
and have their own story. Like I personally, I think
that season four was my favorite. One of the four
seasons I love season four The Prince fantastic that mini
arc with a prince. Oh so this is so good
and I's that was the only time so far that
I's really like, I'm angry, I'm not happy about this
and he just he just destroyed them out of that,
and I personally really liked that. Also, really like the
newly introduced characters and all that song.
Speaker 4: Nice Rico, why do you have Overlord at number eighteen?
Speaker 1: And genuinely just like the the Next Necromancer archetype of
a protagonist because I think they're really cool, like in
Someone Undeads and all that stuff, and Undebt protagonists in
general are pretty dope to be honest, and Eines is
just an overpowered final boss in the anime. Sure everything
is one sided because he'll never lose, but it's just
fun seeing how people you know underestimate him to then
realize like, oh shit, we were wrong all the time,
Like that one episode when Clementine, I don't know if
you guys remember her, she got destroyed after getting after
just being like she underestimated and so bad that she
got her back cracked and she just died.
Speaker 4: There's some good comedy, there's some good comedy as well,
and Overlord with like idel like propose a strategy and
then one of his underlings will be like like. It
seems simple at first glance, but clearly Eines is fourteen
steps ahead. And then it all works out, and it
was like Eines new he foresaw this. We are merely
we are merely playing checkers while he is playing chess.
Speaker 1: I love his I love his minions, especially my girl Alberto.
His followers are just one of the kind I love him.
Alberto Demi gir demi de Yeah, they're both really awesome
side characters as well.
Speaker 6: Overload the polarizing enimey or anime, so many reasons to
hate it, so many reasons to love it.
Speaker 5: There we go.
Speaker 4: I say, it's one of those things that I think
is really good but could be better. Number nineteen shimon Neetta.
We do need to keep it moving, otherwise we'll never
get the list of Simonetta. Honestly, it kind of grossed
me out.
Speaker 1: What even though I recommended it to you and I
watched your reaction, you said you liked it.
Speaker 4: I liked the first three episodes. The first three episodes
are good, and then like, as I kept on going,
one I feel like it got old for me. It
got old quick, and a couple of scenes grossed me out,
and I was like, I don't really, I don't like
this enough to keeping the cookies.
Speaker 1: You didn't like the cookies.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was one of those scenes that grossed me out.
Speaker 5: Oh man, I have a tallerant.
Speaker 4: I feel like I have a pretty big tolerance to actually,
but maybe not the liquids. Maybe liquids are my weakness.
Speaker 6: Everybody has their own things that do like kind of
cross the line for them, that's for sure. But uh, yeah,
humor's so subjective and I feel like it is very
just in your face and uh NonStop pounding with it
as far as the humor goes right, So it it
can get exhausting after a bit, I will say with Shimonetta,
but overall I love it.
Speaker 5: Great pick here recon. This is a classic that thank you.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it just it was what I'm sad I missed
out on the first time because it's it's a tale
that just keeps on coming true.
Speaker 5: Right, it's a.
Speaker 1: It's just one of the funniest anime saying that's why
it's something.
Speaker 5: It's funny and it's like nears reality in too many ways.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Marcus, I feel like the the cookie scene isn't
even the worst one. There's a later scene with Anna
where she makes a pit full of juice and the
main guy he falls into that the moment I saw
bro Actually I actually felt like he fell full. The
thing was built to the brim as like the also
also really unfortunate that she will let us never get
in season two because the voice passed away. Yeah, we
are not gonna has a different voice. I saw that's
gonna keep its along away forever.
Speaker 2: But it's very common we didn't pick as.
Speaker 3: The number nineteen. It's like it's not really dead well written,
and there's more funnier shows subjectives.
Speaker 4: I'm looking at this list going forward. This list has
got and like it started off okay because there was
some like you got aot you have some good classics
along the way, I think nineteen onwards, this list is
falls apart like bad bad I don't even know, like
we could talk about each of these for like a minute.
Like K Projects, I like Kate Projects.
Speaker 1: Just just you know, rapid fire, rapid fire.
Speaker 4: All right, number twenty K Project, I actually do like it, thoughts, guys,
K Project is go ahead, We're goun.
Speaker 1: The reason why k Project is up here is because
it's the only anime that I actually like. From go hands,
the rest of the ship that they did hurts my
eyes so much. This is the only tolerable one that
I actually enjoyed watching. It's got great animation, great fights,
great characters, good colors. The rest of the stuff they
they did with handshakers, w's and all that bad.
Speaker 4: I feel like I didn't love the story where it
went like. I like the introduction of the story, and
the characters are cool, and the fights were cool. Like
you said, I like the introduction, but as the story
got more like more revealed, I feel like I lost
I started to lose interest or I didn't love the direction.
I don't have a good reason. I can't really explain it, though,
because that my memory is not that good. I remember
having that once. It was a reveal that the guy
who lost his memory was this actual guy, but maybe
he wasn't, and then his other two Kings die. I
don't fucking remember, but I remember starting to lose interest.
Speaker 1: It's an older show. I don't expect you to remember,
but it's still it holds up to it for having
great animation.
Speaker 4: What do you guys think, I haven't seen it.
Speaker 2: I hate everything else from your Hands, So actually, actually
this is really like Justice Ricon said, it is the
only good one to Go Hands made, and I don't
know if they can ever make a better one.
Speaker 3: I feel like, even from the list of what we
have seen so far and are going to see, K
project isn't even that well written. So I feel like,
just because of the visuals record, I feel like I
feel like you would put it lower just because it
Sure it's it's it's decent, but like the other Soide
is just clearly better, just better written, better story, better characters,
sometimes even better animation. So yeah, I agree, just because
it's the best from Go Hands.
Speaker 4: Yeah he's putting it because it's the best from Go
Hands and it looks nice. I think twenty it's in
your top twenty recon. That's kind of crazy, bro.
Speaker 1: I don't really care if the story with shit or whatnot.
I just really liked watching it. It's like just watching
the visuals in the fights and all that, and the
music is just like, oh I can't take my eyes
off this still.
Speaker 4: It was it was a vibe. I will say the
vibe it had going was great. It's hard to replicate,
and I haven't seen I mean, definitely not that studio replicated,
but it was pretty unique as well. Moving on to
number twenty one, grim Gar, which is kind of crazy
at twenty one as well, either basic, I like grim I.
Speaker 1: Don't believe you guys don't like grim Gar. I do
like most realistic of all time.
Speaker 5: The most realistic thing was it?
Speaker 4: Was it? Or was it a fantasy? I don't remember it,
but I do remember praising it for feeling more real,
like less less game and more like actually thrown to
the wolves realistic. I did like that aspect, but again,
twenty one is absurd.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just agree with you.
Speaker 6: Jordan's bricks head, you know, no game, no life, and
overly cautious hero in his like top ten to twenty.
Ricon also has his uh references here, right dude.
Speaker 4: He's garik k Project, Shimunetta, Charlotte fucking don Machi, Don Machi.
Speaker 1: This is he's got a.
Speaker 6: Death out live action, go ahead on the scale, like
you know, ignoring Overlord. This is like his top like
three Kai right here, and yeah, I kind of respect it.
It's one of those that goes against the grain, and
like you said, they throw them to the wolves. And
I actually read some of the novels for this one too,
just because the anime was so good. It's sad I
don't think we'll get another season for it, but uh,
very unique, Yeah, very solid storytelling.
Speaker 4: I see what you're saying. I see what you're saying, Jordan.
Where everyone has their couple of isa kai that make
it into their top twenty or top thirties that just
other others do not, there's a guy that hits everyone differently,
and I guess Grimgar is one of those for for
recon Marcus any, go ahead.
Speaker 1: Briggs, you gotta understand. You told me that you don't
like overpowered protagonists from the get go. This anime does
exactly that because there is no overpowered character. They're all
on equal footing. Even one little goblin or a monster
can be such a difficult task for them to take
down because they all got to work together. This is
the most realistic I've ever seen.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I could just appreciate it.
Speaker 1: I really appreciate it.
Speaker 4: I made a YouTube when Grimgar came out, I made
a YouTube video about it. I praised it for those things.
I just think it's more like a top mm hmm.
Speaker 3: I'm actually really happy that you put the highlight on
grim Gar, which was like not many people who know
Grimgar because the only thing that Grimber to this day
is known for are the two shots of the girl's ass.
That's the only thing. It's the only thing. I a
grim Bar. It's like a tweet one do you remember
how this show was? And it's like a shot of
the two shots of the girl's ass.
Speaker 5: That's the mistake you made that that people on Twitter
don't watch anime.
Speaker 6: They watch clips on Twitter, so you gotta.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't want watch clips.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd say grim is pretty good. It's the only
other like comparable in terms of realism is horrm len.
Speaker 5: Is what now.
Speaker 3: In the Labyrinth? Something something?
Speaker 1: Oh ham Labyrinth Another World.
Speaker 3: Because that's the only one where there are something that
no other has. And then that it is the realistic
RPG style element that are not in any other anime
that I've seen, Which.
Speaker 1: Would you guys be upset if I said that harm
Labyrinth in Another World is actually part of my top
one hundred anime of all time, my top.
Speaker 5: I haven't seen it there are a lot of these
guys that have Harry Labyrinth.
Speaker 4: I feel like we we added two recons. We have
two recons here now markets and recons.
Speaker 5: I'm feeling overwhelmed. There's too much recons all right.
Speaker 4: At number twenty two, we got Soka Moto Deaths too,
which I have not seen.
Speaker 1: You have not watched this. Haven't you heard I'm soccer Moto.
You haven't seen that.
Speaker 5: I haven't heard I'm Soka Moto.
Speaker 4: I mean I've seen the memes on like Twitter and stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is crazy.
Speaker 3: I thought that that modal.
Speaker 4: Who guys, guys, guys.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I know you're talking about now. I didn't
be together for too long.
Speaker 1: I'm the coolest, the coolest protagonist, one of the coolest.
Speaker 5: So our Farming is still in the top. Twenty two
is when I'm here.
Speaker 1: Listen, man are arms on everything. No bully can defeat him.
He just no reverses everything, and it's just like whoa
He does things no other human does.
Speaker 4: I watched, actually I did. I did watch the first
episode and it was kind of funny, but like, I
don't really care to watch any more of this. It's
it's it's, it's it's no way of the house husband.
Speaker 5: You know fair.
Speaker 3: I haven't seen it, so I think that is disapportant.
I think haven't you heard? I'm Stuck? Is awesome and
it's really really love it. It's also it also doesn't
get old. It doesn't get old. No, he does stuff
like a how would you come up with this? And
it's hilarious. It's very funny. And the rest in peace
the author did pass away from haven't you?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 5: This is so sad. May they rest in peace? Is
this a? It is a comedy, right, it's a It's
a school comedy, Got You.
Speaker 1: Got You?
Speaker 5: It's subjected.
Speaker 6: I can never hate too much on a comedy, making
it high on somebody's list, because I said, sometimes the
comedy just hit right.
Speaker 3: It's really funny, it's really funny.
Speaker 5: The most subjective genre, I feel like all the genres.
Speaker 4: YEP for sure. Number twenty three ninety one days recon
What is this again?
Speaker 1: Don't tell me you guys have not seen this?
Speaker 6: This is the liquid one, the prohibition one or no
or something like that. I haven't seen it.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's it's about mafia. You haven't seen
this one. That's crazy.
Speaker 5: I know.
Speaker 6: I'm ashamed. This is one that it felt like it
was at my alley. I just haven't seen it.
Speaker 5: I think I own it. I'll blu ray back there.
I just I need to put it in. I have
seen this.
Speaker 1: Ninety one Days is a mafia series that is heavily
about revenge about a protagonist Angelo, his parents or his
entire family were murdered by a gang of mafia, and
then years later, as an adult, he's going out after
He's going after the Venetti family, the ones who are
responding to track down the killers and kill those responsible
for his family's death. And there is so many layers
to this, lots of guns, lots of crime, lots of organizations.
It's like old style mafia, that type of thing. You know,
it's cool.
Speaker 5: I've checked out because you said it two years later
and I expected him to do ninety one days.
Speaker 4: Okay, what's it called?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Misrepresentation, misadvertising, copyright, copyright, Oh my god, clickbait advertising, clickbait.
Speaker 1: That sucks you guys. Haven't watched it one.
Speaker 3: I have seen ninety one Days. I think it's fantastic.
I think it's a great show. What did I give
ninety one Days? I gave it a nine. Oh wow, Yeah,
I agree with that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna be honest, kind of means nothing, no.
Speaker 8: No, no, I have never given you an animator was bad.
Never You're you're right.
Speaker 4: But there were a few anime on your list that
are really highly rated that I would rate less. They
were enjoyable, just so I would have breaked them a
lot less.
Speaker 3: I mean, that's fine. I mean it's like, if you
enjoy it, then that's basically the same as me. It's
a little bit more, little bit less, but enjoyment still there.
Speaker 4: That's all. That's all that matters.
Speaker 6: There's a lot of anime out there that some people
enjoy and others don't. But there's only one anime that
I think everybody pretty much universally loved, and that was Kjo.
Speaker 4: So number twenty four Universal.
Speaker 5: Peak Sports anime.
Speaker 3: Sports, Okay, that's the Bible.
Speaker 1: Sports. It's just the best sports anime ever made. It's
just for the men of cultural out there, men of
culture out there to watch and enjoy all the boobs
and ass and yeah, it's awesome. I feel like I.
Speaker 6: Feel like I've seen every sports anime and I'm not
gonna lie. In certain ways, this is the best sports anime.
There's so many fun references. It's uh good story both
ironically and unironically at the same time. And I feel
like it's very hard to pull off writing wise. So
you know, there's plot, there's plot, there's there's all the
things solid.
Speaker 4: Okay. So with k Jo, the references were fun, the
atchiest fun. The characters are kind of fun. I do
think I don't want to be I don't want to
be that guy. I know everyone's meming around with this
show because I know anim Aquay was one of his
favorite sports anime or to this day, because he's not
a big sports anime guy. Dude, it's so bad.
Speaker 6: I remember I did a podcast episode with with Animac
and cyanide in them and stuff. Whenever they made me
watch this, and I'd always avoided it, okay, I didn't
think I was gonna like it, and they were like,
come on.
Speaker 5: For the last episode, you just gotta watch this whole thing.
I did it. I was shocked at how good it was. Right.
I thought he was over hyping it. I thought he
was meming on me.
Speaker 4: So I think watching it ironically and then like, even
the references were fun, like I remem there's a Gilgamesh
reference or whatever. It was fun, but I will never
watch more than three episodes of that show like it
just there's no point. There's just no fucking point. You know,
there's no point.
Speaker 6: It's a sports anime, breaks, there's there's all the stakes,
it is the sports.
Speaker 4: I didn't care about the stakes. I guess I didn't
care about the story or the characters enough to care.
Speaker 3: You care about the boots, the boots and that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm telling you boo boobs and asks and get
me through three episodes usually okay, and then the post
not clarity hits and you're like, all right, time for
non Boca a number twenty five.
Speaker 1: Have you got seen it?
Speaker 4: I have seen non Baka. Let me as double. It's
like the super colorful jail one, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's the prison Escapes is anime.
Speaker 4: I like it. It was fun. Top twenty five crazy again.
I think that's why that's why I take. That's why
I take for all of your anime. All of your
animes so far have been fun or there's some elements
to it that's good, but none of them are like
a whole package, and none of them for me, are
like good enough to be in the top twenty five.
Speaker 3: I'm shocked.
Speaker 6: Like, so there's a prison escape anime that's not prison
School that's ranked above prison School?
Speaker 5: Am I missing something?
Speaker 3: Is this?
Speaker 5: However?
Speaker 1: The school is not prison School.
Speaker 6: Ain't about escaping, you know, it's one that has plot
and plot.
Speaker 5: But this, I'm just I don't know, I know.
Speaker 1: But now Baka is like actually about escaping the prison.
But it's just a lot of good comedy in there.
Speaker 5: Okay, gotcha, gotcha.
Speaker 3: I'm as someone who have seen on Baka, it's not
only about the comedy, you know. Season two was crazy good.
I was shocked how good season two was and also
a lot more brutal than I expect us, although the
war is hot as hell.
Speaker 1: So.
Speaker 5: That was hell.
Speaker 1: Yeah, agreed, agreed, not.
Speaker 3: Not not the bald guy, but he was cool too.
Speaker 5: He was also cool, all right.
Speaker 4: At number twenty six, we got Classroom of the Elite,
another show that I think people did either love hate
and I started off I'm like, this is okay, and
then I just don't care enough.
Speaker 1: I love Classroom. The new season that's currently airing right now.
Oh my god, we are getting somewhere, Ladies and gents, with.
Speaker 4: That, where are they getting Where are they going so much?
Speaker 5: They're getting through school.
Speaker 1: They're in year two three, Yes, they're in the second
they're in the second year right now. They're upper classmen,
and they're they're about to go to an island and
they're about to have a big tournament. The people who
score the lowest get expelled. And there's just so much
mystery and you know, tactical, you know advantages, you know,
from high higher classes to lower classes. It's all about
you know, strategizing, you know, to stay in the school
and not get expelled.
Speaker 4: I feel like class really elite. Ask tat GBT how
to be smart. It was like, can you come up
with some like cool smart strategies growk.
Speaker 3: Hold on, I have a question the stuff you said
that was season one. I know, I just island ahead
of competition.
Speaker 1: They're doing it again. They're doing They're doing it again.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I've only seen three seasons, so I haven't
seen that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're they're going to a new island at the
moment in a new season to have another you know battle.
I know they're kind of they're kind of repeating the
same thing for the first season. But we're getting to
you know, we're getting new characters and you know, other things.
But I don't I don't want to talk too much
about it.
Speaker 6: Let's say the big similarity there would be that they're
on the island. They're using the same island because that's
the schools, like, it's a different island they have like
a least is it okay.
Speaker 1: Yeah it's an it's a it's a completely new island.
Speaker 5: I thought they used the same island.
Speaker 6: I could be off there, but regardless, it's a very
different game that they're playing, right, so it's very different
tests that they're going through.
Speaker 5: So I don't know, class leads, solid good recouns.
Speaker 3: I feel really it's like a love it or hate
it show. Like I've seen so many people say, off
the Lada's trash, it's over right, And I've seen people
it's like a select it's so fucking good. It's always
at the top of the charts in Japan. People in
Japan love it apparently. I get it. Light novels. I
mean the what's the what's the name of the main protagonist.
Speaker 1: Again, iron A Koogi.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean he's a pretty interesting character. You don't
get people like him that often.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but a much. I'm gonna be honest.
Speaker 6: When I first watched it, I did feel like a
little bit too much of like just a bland sociopath
in a lot of ways. But reading it gives like
a bit of a different perspective, like what's actually read
the light novels.
Speaker 5: I get the hype of the show, so I I
don't know. I'm with eurekon solid show a lot of fun.
Speaker 4: I'm not so at number twenty seven, we got black clothes.
Black Clover is like the fairy tale of modern anime,
one of the few ones I haven't finished, so like,
I feel like I would have liked Black Clover. I
actually enjoyed reading the manga. I did enjoy reading the manga.
I think Black Clover would have been sick if it
came out in like two thousand and eight. I feel like,
because it's a.
Speaker 1: Bad day in two thousand and eight. No, sorry, it
came out in twenty seventeen sixteen.
Speaker 4: It's just in the modern era of shon in where
everything has its own like unique spin and good animation
and fast pacing and coming out seasonally. Black Clover decided
to go with like the the one piece bleach route,
which would have worked a long time ago and obviously
asked as a voice, was fucking annoying as hell in
the first couple episodes, and the pacing was terrible early on.
The overall story is actually good. I would just say,
read the manga.
Speaker 1: It gets so much better. It gets so much better.
Speaker 5: I will say, I love the manga.
Speaker 6: I dropped the anime after three episodes, so I was
in camp Briggs right here, I agreed with. But I've
heard so many good things about the pacing how it
changed after that initial start, Like for some reason, they
started it off really slow. They started off with like
filler in those first three episodes, right, and then they
sped up the pacing of the anime a lot and
they basically caught up to the manga pretty like pretty quickly. Right,
So the pacing is not nearly as bad later on.
Speaker 4: And I don't know, Yeah, I'm in be honest. I
watched like seven or eight episodes and as went back
to reading a longa.
Speaker 5: The manga is so good. It's it's a good binge
read manga.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 5: There's very action heavy.
Speaker 6: I could couldn't hardly do it week the week, But uh,
if you want just a good old classic battle shown
in oh solid, solid little manga here.
Speaker 3: So I actually, uh. When I watched Black Clover the
first time, I actually didn't continue past the first episodes
because of Aust's voice. But I hear about Black Clover.
I really want to go back to it.
Speaker 1: The second season is coming. The second season is coming.
Speaker 3: Yes, the thing you say breaks. This is probably all
because of Studio Piero, who does Black Over. Yeah, I'm notorious.
They did Naudoto, they did Twin Star Exorcists. They're very
notorious for doing a filler, stretching stuff.
Speaker 4: So yeah, I'm telling you I would have loved it
in two thousand and eight. The mango is really really good.
It's a solid shown in. I do recommend checking it
out in the version that you prefer to consume the
media in I just watched. I think I gave it
more than of a chance than you guys. I probably
watched more than seven or eight episodes. I remember going
back to it and trying to watch more and more.
It just I don't know. I didn't get a good
feel from the anime.
Speaker 6: So read the manga, but watch the anime opiece. That's
that's what you gotta do here. Basically, there's a lot
of really good ones.
Speaker 4: At number twenty eight, Hina Matsudi an absolute banger of
a pick. Recon well done.
Speaker 5: Let's go, we go all the good comedies.
Speaker 4: Have you watched Hina Masudi Jordan?
Speaker 5: I have I love you?
Speaker 6: It's so good a girl, right, okay in the mafia
that kind of adopts her basically, like she's just kind
of like I live here now.
Speaker 1: And then I think he's said, yakuza not a mafia
yakuza guy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's same, same, I'm making Yakuza is just Japanese?
Is this Japanese? It is Japanese?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, never mind, yeah, never mind.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I have also seen number three and I
was like, it's trash.
Speaker 4: That's your actual opinion.
Speaker 3: I'm joking my top one hundred, it's number thirty. It's fantastic.
Cry doing this show. This show made me cry. Okay,
that was like if you make a cry, Okay, that's
That's a lot of in the list. This show is fantastic.
It's not only comedy. Comedy is also a drama, and
it's really good at that.
Speaker 4: And it's very wholesome and heartwarming. At times too, it's great.
Speaker 3: What what did I give it?
Speaker 5: I guess, like, what do you give it?
Speaker 3: I give it a nine point seven.
Speaker 4: I think I forgot to put in my top one hundred.
I think I would putting them out three in my
top one hundred. I love that anime.
Speaker 1: It's a good show, really good.
Speaker 4: At number twenty nine, we got Devil is a part Timer, recon.
What do you what are your thoughts recon?
Speaker 1: Yes, I loved the first season, although it didn't kind
of fall off in season two and the next because
of the you know, the whole shift, the big shift
in animation, because it kind of just lost that I
don't know that that touch or the feeling that the
first season had because it just wasn't really the same.
But the first season more specifically, I fucking loved it.
It was so good. It's funny. I love I love
the reverse a Sekai idea, you know, with the demon
lord and the hero both going into modern day Japan
trying to live normal lives and you know, meeting each
other once again, getting their powers in modern day Japan
and all these battles. It was pretty cool just watching
watching mal work and fucking Donald's was hilarious.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I love season one. Season two was okay. I
think it's hard to live up to our expectations. Like
when I watched All the Part Timer, I was still
pretty not new to anime, but I hadn't seen a
lot of this style or this genre is very different
than anything I had really consumed, and I like, since then,
we've all watched a bazillion isakai, even though it's a
reverse isakai, we've watched a bazillion anime like it. And again,
like they changed the animation. I already read the light novels,
so I knew what was gonna happen. I think the
light novels are pretty good. I do like them a
little bit better than the anime, but overall it's still
a good show. I think I have it in my
top one hundred as well, for sure.
Speaker 6: Yeah, not fair enough. I feel like it's the bad
thing about reading right. It could be more fun and
you could enjoy it, and then sometimes it like almost
ruins the anime for you if it doesn't live up
to it a little bit.
Speaker 4: I just thought we were never going to get a
season two.
Speaker 1: It was a long time, ten or eleven year or something.
Speaker 3: Though first time ever, So no game of the license
in two one gives you hope for the.
Speaker 4: Problem is there was there was, there was other controversies
with that with the problem, but I thought it did
really really well, which is so it's sad that we
never got more.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean the it was weird. It was like
the one at Madhouse thing and two like the I
think it was something to do with the director. I
could be wrong, but is it the same girl that
did Uh I'm blanking never mind, I'm losing track of
thought here, going to down the brain rabbit hole when
I don't have the memories but goldfish memory. But uh,
how not to someone a demon lord? That one is
a little bit surprising.
Speaker 4: I like this one.
Speaker 3: Do you know the go and what off the top?
Hold off? To someone demon?
Speaker 1: Though?
Speaker 3: You always say you know that you remember the.
Speaker 4: Name of which girl?
Speaker 3: Which which girl? The elf?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, come on.
Speaker 4: Wait wait and Devil's a wait double the part time?
Or how not someone demon lord? Sorry? How is someone
demon lord? You say, I always remember the name of
the elf? I don't remember anymore?
Speaker 3: Fuck umber.
Speaker 4: So it was because it was because we were doing
buster or bust or something, and I was like and someone.
It was one of like the fan ones. I think,
I don't remember exactly, and I like shot it immediately,
but I also probably watched it and rewatched it more
recently and then it's been years now. Fuck no, tell
me what is her name?
Speaker 3: Greenwood?
Speaker 1: Sorry?
Speaker 4: Said again?
Speaker 3: El Greenwood?
Speaker 4: Sharah al Greenwood? Oh yeah, yea yeah, yeah, it was
so long that I just found it funny.
Speaker 6: The other one is the black hair Cat. Girl's name
is Rim and I remember that because it reminds me
of real simpler. Yeah, who the hell did you remember Greenwood?
Speaker 5: Okay, moving on.
Speaker 4: I even know her name anyway, how not the someone
a demon lord? Low key? Never would it ever ever
be close to my top thirty, But I liked it.
I thought it was a lot of fun.
Speaker 5: I don't remember much. I only watched a few episodes.
How how was this one even?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 5: Was it more of a comedy? I'm trying to even remember.
Speaker 4: Like it was a lot of etchy, of a lot
of comedy, and it was just like, for some reason,
I feel like it's so weird that like you can
have the same formula done multiple times and sometimes it
lands and sometimes it doesn't, just depending on like the
character designs and the voice acting, whether or not you
could like like a character or not and be invested
and for some reason, how not the someone a Demon
Lord had me invested?
Speaker 5: Yeah, all right.
Speaker 3: I think Also the main character Diablo is really funny
because it helps. He's trying. He's trying to be like
what overlord is over what is but he isn't. But
he's still strong. Life's not that strong, and so I
think that also contributes to the comedy. It's just it's
very similar in in in feeling to cautious. I feel
like it's like it has comedy but also some serrus stuff,
but it never shies away from the comedy. That's personally
what I would think of. The season two opening was fantastic.
Speaker 4: Why do you like ere Gun?
Speaker 1: It's just got one of the best harems, and I like,
I like demon lords.
Speaker 4: He likes he likes lords, I like, I like harem.
Speaker 1: Like all put all those together and you have this
masterpiece in creation.
Speaker 4: A demon Lord Kai surrounded by titties and he's there
top there, the list number thirty one and Una and
the Haunted Springs. I've never watched it, whoa, I've.
Speaker 5: Read all of this one. So it's a couple hundred chapters.
Speaker 6: This was one of the most unapologetically etchy manga I
have ever read.
Speaker 1: So you know, there's usually I told you I'm gonna
get thirsty. I told you.
Speaker 6: Jump usually has like one that they allow, like and
this was kind of the end of that era where
it was like, you know, too Loveru or Ayakashi Triangle
or like this. They usually only have one at a time,
and it pushes the boundaries of what's probably even allowed
in like a shown in magazine.
Speaker 5: Right, So there's one, and it gets creative with it.
Speaker 6: So there's one page where they have like boobs with
like a missed the mist like covering it because they're
not allowed to show nipples, right, And then since the
paper's so thin, the very next page they put two
eggs being cooked on the on the stove to where
you have like the uh you know, sunnyside up eggs.
So whatever you have those pages layered over each other,
it looks like there's nipples, and I'm like, they went
above and beyond and made that so creatively. I don't know,
this is memorable to me, right, I don't know. There's
not much to say, there's like a one hundred girls
in this very etchy there's a hot springs. She's a ghost,
so it's haunted. I don't know, freakon, you got anything
to add to this one? Why do you love it
so much?
Speaker 1: It's just a creative anime. I don't know. I like it,
you know, you know what that one guy he uh,
he lives at a like a little hotel or like
a spring hotel, and it's haunted because there's a ghost
named Una, and there's also other ladies or residents living there.
And at first they're all like, why is there a
guy here? But then later on they all start opening
up to him, and then crazy atchy shit starts happening,
and I'm like, oh, that's kind of spicy. I'm not
gonna lie. I watched this when I was like a
teenager back then, back in high school. That's why I
really fucked with it.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I read it when I was trying to catch up
to every manga going and showing a jump and I
just like I said, it sticks with you, just with
how unapolo jetic it is, and uh, I like it
pushes the grain of what's partly even allowed, right, like
it's it was wild.
Speaker 5: It was a wild series.
Speaker 3: I haven't seen about bricks. If you think about it,
this show has an uncensored version.
Speaker 1: Yes it does. That's for completely forgot about that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it does.
Speaker 4: Well. We're definitely not watching that on stream. I'm scaredy
off you today stream off and I watch theseonland and
maybe I'm loky scared to fucking do reactions on Twitch
right now, although I do only have one copyright strike
so I can try. I'm just a little spooked.
Speaker 1: Just one piece, don't get in trouble. Don't watch one
pieceful put One Piece is the best.
Speaker 5: It's the action.
Speaker 6: Don't do Goblins Layer because that's one that you know it.
It's rough for the for a lot of audiences, right.
That one's kind of dark.
Speaker 4: At number thirty two, Goblins Layer, good segue, Jordan. I
will say I do like Goblin Slayer. I would react
to it on stream. It does have its own trigger
warning before the episode, so I think that's fine.
Speaker 6: I think they added that I could be wrong with
the very first episode. I enjoy Goblin Slayer as well,
but the very first episode I feel like there wasn't
initially a warning.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, there wasn't a warning. People complained, and then
they added it.
Speaker 5: In to be fair, there should have been a warning.
There should be a heads upon.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not I'm not anti trigger warnings. I am
anti the people that were complaining that it was about
how dark it was when it's like, this is a
fictional story and it makes the world feel scary, and like,
I don't. I don't like the idea of limiting fiction.
Anything should be allowed. And it's at the end of
the day, they're being creative and trying to create a world,
and they're making the Goblins scarier and more fucked up
and making it dark. It's a dark.
Speaker 5: Fantasy at the end of oh yeah, it's yeah.
Speaker 4: But at the same time, people have been through some
traumatic things in the lot in their lives, so adding
a little warning is always a good idea.
Speaker 6: I couldn't agree more with you there. Like I said,
I don't you should ever limit fiction. I do think
Goblins they got a lot of unwarranted hate when it
first came out, because after those first couple episodes, there
was a lot of people, even even like some of
the bigger YouTubers and stuff, making videos like judging the
whole show based off that. Whenever the whole show they're like,
that's not even relevant. It is relevant to his character.
And then the whole show is about him and his
dark past and why that's driven him to slay goblins. Right,
it's a adventure. He's about him slaying goblins. He's slaying
all the goblins. So fun, fun, little time there. Ricon,
Is that what you loved about it?
Speaker 5: You hate goblins as much as he probably hates goblins.
Is that?
Speaker 1: No? I just thought it was a cool series, you know,
dark fantasy goblets, a protagonist who was different and he's
just slaying like low leveled mobs that everyone thinks like, oh,
he's just a he's just slaying low leveled goblins. The
fuck is he high ranked? But then we actually go
into this series across its seasons and movies and we
actually see how dangerous goblins can be sometimes there, and.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it sets up how important it is to get
rid of these because of how that first episode I
think is actually important and see how in.
Speaker 1: The backstory and over time you get to see how
the main character, the Goblins Layer, grows as a character
and gets more powerful and powerful every time. So I
don't know. I I enjoyed it. I had no complaints.
By the way, what do you think any of the
dark Ship I was compassion.
Speaker 4: Go ahead, Marcus, right, what are you trying to say?
Speaker 3: I feel like the goblins also grew more passionate and
more social.
Speaker 1: Uh the.
Speaker 3: No no, no people. He was a loner at first,
and then people started, uh surrounding around himself, and he
also grew more sociable with other people, which is also
a form of growth, not just in strength and strength. Yeah,
Goblin Slayer is like a filter for normies, like, this
is something that's dark, like a darker version of Grimgar.
This is horrible. How can people watch the animates for children?
Speaker 5: Yeah, and that's why.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like a berserk but modern. Yeah, that's an
older show.
Speaker 6: That's what frustrated me so much about people saying that
it wasn't relevant aside from shock value in that first
episode whenever it first came out, before the rest of
it was even out, because it was relevant, right, It
showed his backstory where he was in his head space
because of that. The dude's freaking scarred. He has this
one track goal where he's very narrow minded about it.
And then uh he gradually gets the meeting, uh bond
with other people. Right, so uh and it's just a
fun d D type of venture where they don't actually
have any they are what they are. This is this
is an elf Archer, this is this is the Goblin
Slayer Priest.
Speaker 5: Just etcetera.
Speaker 3: That's already short shot up to the openings. They are
the ones that made the singer Millie go like mainstream
and that's really good.
Speaker 4: Be gose, it's all so great, right anyway, let's move
on to number thirty three, Boarding School Juliet. I don't know,
I've never watched it.
Speaker 3: This is the base.
Speaker 1: This is a very did you watch it, Jordans, I
have not watched it.
Speaker 5: I've read it. It's a very good manga.
Speaker 6: The manga's consistently rated like uh eight, nine, ten out
of ten, right like for a lot of people. So
it's it's one of the highest rated manga out there
of it of its genre.
Speaker 5: It very slice of life.
Speaker 6: Rom com generally speaking, there's not like a ton that
really stretches it from the crowd, except for the ending.
It does build into a very good ending and then
a lovable cast of characters. So it's Romeo and Juliette,
but they're in a boarding school.
Speaker 5: When where is there to say put them into school?
But uh, it's like it does have the style pressures the.
Speaker 1: Protagonist called Romeo and the girl's Cultulia.
Speaker 5: Yeah exactly.
Speaker 1: I just I just the reason why I liked it
and why it's up there. It's just it's it's I
haven't seen a rom com like this before where you
got the same school and then you've got two different houses,
the White Cats and the Black Cats, and they're both
enemies in the same school, and they both compete with
each other to you know, who's who's the perfect team
at school. And you've got the main the main leader
of the Black Cats, who falls in love with the
leader of the White Cats, Juliette, and they have this
secret love relationship and they do not share it with
the entire school otherwise, Uh well, they get in trouble
pretty much, but they both fall in love and they
keep the relationship secret over time until at some point
people fucking find out about it. What happens, I don't know.
Speaker 6: It is one of the I feel like the best
manga about one is just solidly executed, but two it's
a It just does a good job of introducing you
to both sides, both houses, all the characters, but then
you get to know them all individually. You get to
know like the all individually, and then there's this societal
pressure of like their love not being accepted by all
those people you got to know over the course of
the manga, right, and that coming to light is is
actually done really well, so solid series.
Speaker 3: Good, big cool Coogle. Have you seen it, Marcus, I
have seen Juliet. It's been so long. I don't remember
a lot of it. I give it like a decent score.
I think something in the seven point nine, but maybe
I will put it higher as a very good if
I had seen.
Speaker 4: It all right, I don't know. At number thirty four
we got fairy Tale. Yeah, I mean it's good. It's
not number thirty four. Actually, I don't know why. Fairy
Tale specifically was one of those long running anime I
struggle to finish. Like I finished Bleach, I finished One Piece,
I finished Naruto. I was watching fairy Tale around the
same time I finished Tipman Reborn. Could not finish fairy
Tale ever.
Speaker 1: That's even though I.
Speaker 6: Finished it either really really long. I didn't finish it either,
because it's really really long. But there's a lot of
things it did really well that I feel like a
lot of shon In don't do quite as well.
Speaker 5: So it gets too much hate, it gets too much.
Speaker 4: I think it does a lot of things well. It
has really likable characters, and I don't know where to
criticize it, but it's clearly something It was not as
good as the others because I couldn't finish it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I will say I think it has at least
the most bad ass, but definitely one of the more
lovable like female casts in like Battle shone In, so
that in Black Clover, I feel like are just up
there for me as far as like badass female casts,
and they're both up here in Recon's top thirty five.
Speaker 5: Right, so something tells me he likes it when a
woman can kick.
Speaker 4: His butt, right chat. This is Recon's top one anime
of all time. Yees Recon number thirty four. Why do
you love fairy Tale?
Speaker 3: I have.
Speaker 1: I'm fully caught up with it. I watched all the
main series, the full one, and I've watched the new one,
which is one hundred Years Quest. It is amazing it's
not over yet, by the way. It is still gonna continue,
but I don't know how long until the next season comes.
But it is long. I know people are gonna shy
away from it because it's long. Even for me. I
can't watch One Piece because it is so damn long.
I'm watching the I'm watching the live action, and I'm
even waiting for the for the One Piece remake to
come out so I could just get a whole picture
of the story once again, what in better fucking animation quality?
But yeah, I watched Fairytale back when it was like
but like six hundred episodes, and I decided to be like,
you know what, I'm gonna binge the whole fucking thing.
And I did it.
Speaker 4: Guys.
Speaker 1: Guy actually enjoyed it so much. It was so good.
I am so glad I didn't go to One Piece
and I went to Faye, it is so worth.
Speaker 4: It that I wasn't even listening. But I'd be honest,
I stopped listening to your bullshit because you're just watched
this guy watched all the fairy Tale but I couldn't
do One Piece. That's so sad, funny.
Speaker 1: Enough fairy Tales animation at the start was better than
one piece, so it was watchable.
Speaker 4: Cut the animation may have been a little bit better,
but they crammed the power of friendship down your throat
every five minutes. They don't care the last care the
last The last three arcs they kept having fake out
death and I'm reading chat by this, it's not even me.
The last three arcs they kept having fake out deaths
after fake out death. That that's my main problem with
fairy Tale. Also, there was cool powers that like not
too learned to defeat an enemy, and then we just
never saw that power again, and it pissed me off.
Speaker 6: I feel like there's a lot to love about fairy Tale.
There's a lot you could criticize. I think the power scaling,
all the actual like there's a lot of actual battles
where it's like, you know, it's not the best thing ever,
But there's so much it does well. And there's a
reason that author has done fairy Tale Rave Master Eden Zero.
He's had hit after hit like no artists or like
a few monk artists can do right. He just kind
of keeps putting out the bangers, and there's just something
so lovable about his works, even if they're not like
the most polished, perfect thing right.
Speaker 4: Also the funniest zero can I jump in here? muchI
wro Lover and Chat said, when is Rant Cafe coming back?
At all caps? While we're doing a Rant Cafe podcast
live and I uploaded on Spotify yesterday an episode and
thirteen days ago on YouTube uploaded, which is also I
was looking to see when the last episode on RA
on YouTube came out, and it was like, yeah, thirteen
days ago or whatever. But the top comment is Spice
and Wolf made the list twice at seventy four and
ninety seven. For my list, that's so funny.
Speaker 3: It's so funny, I mean good, that's all you know.
Speaker 4: It's breaks yeah, so good, so good at me the
list twice actually actually the one at seventy seven was
was the first version, and the one at ninety seven
was the remake.
Speaker 3: Not so good. However, it is number thirty five. I
feel like.
Speaker 4: Shield Hero at thirty five is fucking absurd, It's crazy.
I actually like the introduction to Shield Hero. I read
some of them.
Speaker 1: You guys are just you guys are just dumb for
dropping it at season one, that's the thing.
Speaker 4: But I read the manga afterwards too. It's just all right, dude,
it's not It's just nothing special, nothing crazy.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I like, don't. So many people dropped
it at season two though.
Speaker 3: Don't bump in with these guys. I dropped it off
the season three. Oh yeah, I felt like, man, this
is this is not going anywhere. Where's the revenge stuff
that was relevant at season one? And I was like,
I don't have any reason to continue. But three, what's
better than the season two?
Speaker 1: Yes, because they brought back the fucking director who did
season one. Because of the director for the season two
was such a fuck up.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was.
Speaker 6: That was kind of what killed it for me, I'm
gonna be honest, was how season two is directed. It
has a special place in my heart because it's one
of the first Web novels I ever like finished all
the way through.
Speaker 5: And then I've read a lot of light novels as well.
It's a pretty good series. Season one was good.
Speaker 6: And then season two it was painful, and then season
three was better than season two, but it was it
felt very rushed with like how a lot of stuff
was introduced because there is so much going on right
either trying to get through it to get to the
interesting parts, so I don't think to flesh it out.
Speaker 4: I fully agree with you, Jordan, and you know, it's funny.
The manga did the same thing, Like it starts off
good and then it felt a little painful, and then
I'm like, ah, that fells really fast. I have the
same thoughts about the manga. So it's not even the
adaptation adaptation that fucked it up. Maybe with season two
a little bit, but for the most part, it's just
that's just the show.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but no, go ahead.
Speaker 6: I was just gonna say the mong get an anime
both adapt the light novel though it's originally like a novel, right,
So I feel like both of those things have like
this desire to try to get to the media spicy
parts later on, and like in doing so, because it's
such a lengthy series, they just they leave out too
much context, and then I don't know, they either do
that or you end up with something like Slime, where
people complain it's the opposite way, right, they leave in
too much, so you're never gonna please everybody.
Speaker 5: But I don't know. I get the hate with Shield Hero.
Speaker 4: For the anime at number thirty six, We've got which
has a great open, great opening, decent, anime.
Speaker 3: Decent.
Speaker 4: It was great. I likes I liked it. It's just
I just keep on thinking everything on your top thirty
six is like good. It's not good enough to be there,
but yeah, it's good. I liked it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, is definitely worthy off like in the top one,
that's for sure. I don't wait, I didn't have a season.
Speaker 4: Why do you like?
Speaker 1: I love seng goku, samurai, shit, revenge stories, slang, demons,
awesome protagonists. It's it's just I don't know. And I
love the backstories. The backstories were absolutely amazing, but just
the the the goal of the protagonist is what really
made me follow his journey to get his body back
and to get revenge and then to just be human.
Speaker 4: And yeah, okay, noise Noise.
Speaker 1: Just enjoyed it. I mean, there's a lot of sadshit
along the way, but everything was just amazing.
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 1: At number.
Speaker 4: Thirty seven, we got Quintuplets, which I have not watched.
Speaker 1: Quessential Quessential Quintuplets. Do you haven't seen this?
Speaker 4: Do you like it?
Speaker 1: An amazing hair man man that has kept me going
on and on and on.
Speaker 4: And on what number is quintuplets? Is that eight?
Speaker 9: No, no, no, four five, five of them, five of
them quintessentially five girls, five girls, one guy.
Speaker 1: He's there, he's the teacher.
Speaker 4: I don't know. I'm just think a pentagon has five sides.
Speaker 3: Around quint. Very similar in the plot to the car. Actually,
I mean because where the girl in the whether it's
the girl in the past that did something and then
in the future in the present, multiple girls are there
and who could it be?
Speaker 5: I think the top Puts is that part of it?
Speaker 3: I feel like, I'm yeah, okay, I've read that's a
there's a like a photo. I believe that the main
guy has of the girl in the past and it's
one of the top Puts.
Speaker 5: Gotcha.
Speaker 3: He doesn't know which ones.
Speaker 6: And but there there is this thing it does too
and stuff where it always flashes forward to uh, to
the marriage, and it like shows you know, the fact
there's gonna be like a happy ending that they're getting
married and whatnot. But because they're all twins, you can't
tell which one it is, right, Like, granted they all
look they're very distinguished just for the viewer's sake and whatnot.
But whenever they are trying to look like they all
do look exactly alike, right, so U best girl doesn't win.
Speaker 5: It's sad not.
Speaker 1: Bestir does win. Bes girl does, she does not, she does.
Speaker 5: Up.
Speaker 3: But I've seen season one and two. Nino should have won.
Everyone fucking knows Nino should have won. Everyone knows, you know,
didn't do ship. Okay, she didn't do ship. She doesn't.
She's told. I just I just keep keep quite.
Speaker 1: Even.
Speaker 3: Even Beko, who I don't like, could have won me
all the way. Nino's best goal. Everyone knows Nino's best goal.
You just look it up. Everyone just look it up.
I love the Everyone says Nino is best girl. Everyone
the moment says on the bike, I love you everything
that's awesome. And then they puck you. They fucking cut
just like last time with the snuffle. They puck you.
They said, you for believing in the girl who should
have won.
Speaker 1: Yes, big thing.
Speaker 5: She drugs him. Okay, she drugged them early on. I'm
not a fan of that.
Speaker 6: You know it's my best A little bit drugging. I
binged it in one weekend and like I didn't talk
to anybody about it, no social interference. Afterwards. I was like,
is my best girl? And I talked to my roommate,
He's like, man, she's like the least favor for most
most people. So series like this always makes me question.
Speaker 4: My own thing twenty to watch this anime to have
my own opinion on five, which the five.
Speaker 6: That's why this is the second best of sports series
brings you choose your team and then you just cheer.
Speaker 5: Okay, you don't know what's going to happen. It's there's
five teams.
Speaker 4: Is it really really etchy? Like let's be like.
Speaker 1: No, No, it's.
Speaker 4: Okay, cool because it was really fun when we were
watching that one anime with like the pink hair girl
and blue haired girl and all of that married couple, lovers, Mary,
couple of lovers, and we were all just like, pink blue,
pink blue. It was so good.
Speaker 5: He's gonna that's what's fun about her. It was good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was good. It was a good show.
Speaker 4: I liked it. I actually really liked it.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I think I liked it more though watching it with
chat and like rooting on my team.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like a team right.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 5: You know another show has a blue hair girl's best girl.
Speaker 6: It's crazy Domestic Girlfriend one of the let's go.
Speaker 1: I know Jordan would appreciate this.
Speaker 4: I know I have heard Jordan talk about this anime before,
but I've never watched Domestic Girlfriend.
Speaker 5: Actually, I'm actually thirty eight. This is a time.
Speaker 3: This is.
Speaker 5: Okay, you put that hate.
Speaker 1: The hate this gets is so undeserved. They just people
do not understand or appreciate Domestic Girlfriend, and it's so good.
Speaker 6: They just don't understand soap operas or love triangles. Okay,
this is like top t your thrash. It's unapologetically trash.
Speaker 5: It's so good.
Speaker 3: Breaks, let me sell it to you. This show is
like if you're watching a train wreck or a car crash.
You're watching it unfold right in front of you and
your popcord in your hands, and you're watching as the
cars slowly collib with each other, people die, everything goes
crashing down. You see a family they just crash us
on and it's fantastic. It's so juicy. It's stupid fucking drama.
It's great.
Speaker 1: Quick Wait, wait, Breaks, Briggs, Wait, hold on, let me
let me tell this to Breaks Briggs. How would you
feel if you had a crush on a teacher at school?
And then she turns out to be your brand new sister.
How would you feel about that?
Speaker 4: That sounds like trash?
Speaker 5: Dude. It gets better, It gets better terribly. Let me
should we break down the first half of the first.
Speaker 4: The last anime we were talking about is is domestic girlfriend?
Speaker 6: Though for today up he sounds first half of the
first episode, and how you know it's peak. Okay, So
he's in love with his teacher, but then he sleeps
with a girl at a mixer, and then he gets
home and he finds out his dad's getting remarried, and
now his teacher and his girl he slept with are
both gonna be his new stepsisters.
Speaker 5: And they're related. That's like the first five minutes. Stop,
it keeps going.
Speaker 4: It is.
Speaker 3: It's so good, It's so stupid.
Speaker 4: Is it? Is it a college university anime?
Speaker 6: They eventually go to Universe, they grow up. They you
see their whole lives, right, it's everybody. They're not awful people.
It's it's it's great you.
Speaker 5: Bring it all together.
Speaker 4: This is insane emotion. That sounds insane, dude, I need
to watch it.
Speaker 6: It's a it's at.
Speaker 4: That sounds funny. So Quintuplets and domestic girlfriend are on
the list. Who of thought, after watching Reconn's list, I'll
be watching too bad anime?
Speaker 5: Me Ani, these are these are these are great anime.
Speaker 4: This is a solid list of everything on this list.
This is what I came out with. This is what
I want to watch for some reason. What else?
Speaker 5: I mean?
Speaker 3: You already watched it?
Speaker 4: Yes, that was so bad. The best thing not so bad,
but like, just it grossed me out too much.
