Speaker 1: What up? Everyone, Welcome back to the anime version. Today
we are talking about Sakamoto Days. You got me your
co host goes in from anime uproar, and of course Briggs,
what a Briggs?
Speaker 2: What a boys? Good to be back, excited to talk
about socka Moto Days. What's up? Goes in?
Speaker 1: Nothing much, Bro, I gotta say this was cool. This
was a cool mix of comedy and action. Kind of
gives me, uh the spy family vibes. Obviously, it's a
different kind of family, different kind of family dynamic, but
you have that interesting blend of actually comedic and actually
interesting because I feel like sometimes it goes hard on
the comedic side, or it goes hard on the action side,
but these guys can pull both off at the same time,
which is something I really liked about the show.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love it. I love it. It's one of
the few anime this season that I'm still watching, Like
I'm basically watching Solo Leveling Doctor Stone and Soccamoto Days.
Soccermoto Day is the only like.
Speaker 1: Don Don over Doctor Stone any day of the week.
Speaker 2: Bro, Well, Don, the Don's not airing this season, fair enough,
I would agree with you. Yeah, but yeah, the three
Ademy that I'm watching from like this current season that
are ongoing are the three I just mentioned, and Soccomoto
Days is the only new one that's like not a sequel.
Speaker 1: See, I thought I had a leg up on Briggs
for a second. I was watching something he wasn't. But
but no, it's not even airing right now.
Speaker 2: I mean we we we we just did an episode
on it. We caught up.
Speaker 1: Well yeah, I know, but more episodes have happened since then,
for sure.
Speaker 2: Oh so then it is airing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, because there's definitely more coming out than
we've we've watched. Yeah, Okay, I don't know if that's true.
One hundred percent, bro one hundred.
Speaker 2: The last time you watched an episode like like last week?
Speaker 1: Like last week they went to the haunted house of
the guy of her childhood friend.
Speaker 2: Chat look it up, chat broke. Okay, I guess they
went I'm hiatus for a bit and they came back,
So I'm wrong. I guess it is Aaron Well.
Speaker 1: I again, I don't know when the hiatus sort of
happened within the when I'm watching, but I know that
I'm watching stuff we haven't talked about.
Speaker 2: I know, that for sure, like you've got in past
episode like ten or eleven, like we're on to the
second half of the cores. I guess, But anyway, let's
talk about talk about today. We'll look that up after.
Speaker 1: I definitely got lost in that conversation.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the series starts up. It's called the first episode
called The Legendary hit Man, and we get introduced to Soakamoto.
But it's funny, like it starts off all bad ass,
like he's like the legendary hit man. Everyone knows him
within the industry. He'd never failed an assassination. And then
it fast forward to him meeting his current wife, starting
a family, getting fat, and he's just like enjoyed his
retired life. But then someone puts a bounty on his
head for a ridiculous amount. So now that he's living
the retired life with his family and he's trying to
be chill and put into the past, he has people
every episode coming to assassinate him. And I guess that's
the comedy of it, right, Like it's hilarious that he's
like got this fat dude and he's taking them out
in interesting ways. He's not killing people. There's all these
funny moments, but then he has to be serious and
protect his family and actually like stop these guys from
killing him. So then you have these badass moments at
the same time. I really really recommend it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's interesting how sometimes he does go back to
his old self, like burns enough calories to go back
to his old self, and sometimes he doesn't. But either
way he's effect of whether he ends up returning to
his old version of himself or if he stays the
fat version of himself, he's effective. And there's also the
joke of why does he lose his mustache when he
loses all that weight for some reason? Yeah, the mustache
comes and goes depending on his uh wait at the moment.
Speaker 2: You know it's weird. I have a bit of a
bad take here. In the first episode, what ends up
happening is he gets attacked by like the fuck I
don't know his name, the guy with clairvoyance like it
read people's minds.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, he took Shin. I brought it up here.
Speaker 2: So Shin comes to a trial assassinate him, and you
have this funny battle where like he's like blocking something
with a lollipop he's using like a candy and like
a lot.
Speaker 1: Of gums or something, yeah, like pistol.
Speaker 2: I love the strategy of it, where like he was
like using he was like throwing certain like food items
in his communion stores like decoys. Honestly like a really
funny but bad ass executed fight. I really enjoyed that exactly.
Then I do have an issue at one point where
it almost got too ridiculous, where I find it really
funny and bad ass when there's like this character that
could overpower people and it's like over the top. But
then at a certain point it becomes like it loses
its immersiveness through comedy. And later in that episode, he
basically went to take down like this this assassination organization
that hired Chin to protect him, and then he ended
up catching a bullet with like chopsticks. It's like I
enjoyed all the bad ass for you, like throwing the
lollipop and using the candy and these little things here
and there out smarting people, being faster and stronger than everybody.
But then like the second, like the catching the bullet
with the chopsticks came in, I feel like it lost
me a little bit. I was like not as excited to.
Speaker 1: Continue interesting I was very open minded in the sense
of like it's a comedy and I'm just taken as
it goes. But you're right that they almost seem to
backtrack that a bit because, uh, later on, it seems
like the fights get more closer, more intense sometimes, and
you don't see moments like the chopstick moments. Right, Yeah,
the author thought thought to run it back and and
kind of avoid some of those over the top scenarios.
Although to be fair, there there's also those moments with
the heyesu ke or maushroomo where he like shoots and
ricochets off of things, like that's pretty crazy, but I
guess not impossible.
Speaker 2: What I was gonna say is like, it's weird how
our brains work. They're doing these things that are all impossible,
but because it's like a little bit more grounded, like
I know it's impossible and it can't be done, but
it's like not so over the top that my brain
accepts it. Right, It's like, oh, that's fucking badass. The
second something like catching a bullet with chopsticks that you
know is physically impossible happens like can't be done no
matter what. That's where it starts to lose you, which
is just weird because there are things where like they're
ricocheting bullets, they're jumping off of moving fucking roller coasters,
they're doing all these fucking things. This guy has clairvoyance,
like they're doing all these things that impossible. But then
the one that takes one step further that my brain's
really able to acknowledge can't be done. That's where it
loses me. Just weird.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So there was a term I learned in university
which is die Jesus, and it's pretty much the world
created by a movie or or work of fiction. And yeah,
it's it's almost like, even though it's not real, it
creates this kind of world with this kind of unwritten rules,
and then when you feel like it's straight away from
its own world, then it can upset you. Right, But
at least it was in the beginning though.
Speaker 2: And then everything and then so I continued watching and
kind of every everything since that moment, I've been fine with,
yeah interesting.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I because you've got to keep in mind, this
was like in the beginning. So for me, when I
watch the first episode, I have no expectations in terms
of what the world and the rules of the world
will be, and so for me, I just accept it
in the beginning, and then now later, let's say we
had none of that, and then later he did the
chopsticks with the bullet thing in like episode twelve, then
I'd be like, what the fuck? But yeah, it didn't
bother me at all because of the whole thing. And
then it reminded me kind of a Cobra Kai recently
because I finished watching it and then they used the chops.
Try to use the chopsticks to catch the fly, right,
So yeah, that was that kind of reminded me of that,
except obviously a bullet's harder.
Speaker 2: Exactly. I feel like chopsticks to catch a fly, well,
really really really really hard, probably impossible. It's like, technically
it could probably be done.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, in theory you can get lucky or something.
Speaker 2: In theory, it's like catching a blade with your hands,
Like it's fucking impossible. But like, if you could catch
a blade that's moving slowly with your hands, what about
the anime character that's so over the top, that's so
much faster than us, so much like smarter than us,
so much longer than us, Maybe he could actually do
it and it feels possible, even though it's something that
we can't do. That feels impossible. But then when catching
a ball with chop sticks doesn't involve his body, really,
it's like there's no way chopsticks wouldn't break unless they
were reinforced by metal, and even if they were, it's
like it still feels it just doesn't feel it loses
my inversion in the world for whatever reason. But that's
such so beside the point. I don't want to stay
on that for either.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, use everything.
Speaker 2: But that I enjoyed prior and afterwards, Like I love
the characters, I love the world, I love the moments.
Speaker 1: I yeah. So one of the interesting things is obviously
so you have he was an assassin, and then you
had the whole him wanting to leave the life, and
you don't just leave the life, right, And we've seen
that in different kind of movies. I don't know how
realistic this stuff is. I've never part taken in the
assassin world, and I don't know it's rules, but you
have that John Wick stuff where you can't just like
you know, sous without someone wanting to come after you.
And even if it's just not even the number if
it's just to be able to say you killed the
legend or something. You know, some people like that, but here, yeah,
that's gonna create constant sort of action and something going
on within the world because they're always gonna be after him.
But I just love the fact that he opens up
a convenience store. You know, it's just such a such
a chill environment compared to his old life, and I
think that's the point. But yeah, it's it's pretty pretty
amazing to see the dad transformation while he also has
all those rock solid skills. Still, I've honestly been kind
of surprised with how they make the more recent battles
feel challenging. Yes, because it's not just because they do
kind of harp on the fact that he is overweight
and out of shape, and that does seem to an
extent because they even start training right because he's concerned
about the fact that, you know, these guys are dangerous
in there after him. So yeah, I feel like that
is interesting to me. I like that. I know some people,
you know, would want pure comedy in some cases and
it's okay, and you know, just always beats the opponent easily.
But I like the fact that we're getting more challenging
circumstances and you got to get creative. Right, if he
didn't have Shin in the last fight with that mad
scientist guy, he would have he would have lost. Like
he needed Shin there to use that tactic where Shin
was dodging and he could punch the guy. He needed
that tactic to win. So it goes to show how
he's not that overpowered, even though he's he's obviously powerful, he's.
Speaker 2: Super overpowered, but like he's not as strong as his
former self. And in the Assassination world there's a lot
of tricks and tricks that are going on as well.
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, you gotta be. He has to use strategy
to to beat some guys. He can't just overpower everyone
through brute force.
Speaker 2: But speaking of brute force, in the second episode, they're
like out on an errand Socomoto and Shin encounter Lou
Shao Teng. I believe I'm I thinking her name is Lou.
Speaker 1: Right, yes, Lou Shou Tang, the pink haired girl or yes.
Speaker 2: Okay, I had it in front of me. I just
wanted to make sure I wasn't talking about the wrong character.
It's a girl who like gets drunk and then has
that fighting style.
Speaker 1: Drunken fist, Yeah, drunken fist. Always appreciate saying that. From
the rock Lee days by go ahead, and she's.
Speaker 2: The daughter of like a mafia boss who's on the run.
I think her her father had passed away and now
people are trying to take her out and take her
assets essentially something along those lines. And then speaking of
brute force, I'm pretty sure like she was fighting them
and then Socomoto like bun got like knocked over, and
then he went on to protect her and fight these
assassins and he just overpowers them, like he just fully
dodges everything, hits them with a fucking frying pan and
and a stove. It's hilarious.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you're saying when they run into each other
in the street, right, Yeah, exactly, No, And it's interesting
watching their family grow sort of thing. You have the
Shin at first, and then you have Lou And we
kind of like rushed through Shn's part because I do
really like Schn's part that he respected it, he worked
with him before, and he kind of feels like he
lost his way, but then later he sees he's just
as bit of a monster and someone to be respected
as he always was, and he just has different priorities now,
and yeah, I thought, I think it's becoming more and
more despite the interesting setup about the characters, and that
really hit home with me when they were focusing on
on Shin's backstory and how you know, people were avoiding
him because he could read minds, and that was touched
upon by Lou earlier on when she said something insensitive
about you know, him creeping her out sort of thing,
and then she got upset when the villains were saying it.
So yeah, it's it's interesting, like I really start to
care about Shin and he has that kind of almost
sun vibe or at least a little brother compared to Sakamoto,
And yeah, I like seeing how he was ready to
you know, take his own life sort of thing to
make up for the fact that he tried to assassinate
his friend even though that's his job. But you know,
he realizes he did the wrong thing there and then
Sakamoto takes him under his wings. So yeah, I just
I love the dynamics between the characters and I didn't
know that's what would be the interesting part for me,
but that's really what the story is about for me
at this point.
Speaker 2: And I love the fact that you pointed out that
Shin's kind of like his younger brother slash son dynamic. Yeah,
and then the next person like they just slowly start
becoming a bigger and bigger family, and I love it.
Like we mentioned with Lou the pink haired girl, she
comes in, he protects her, he saves her from the assassins,
and then she kind of joins the family and she
even starts like having like interactions with her with with
Sakamoto's kid and wife. It's like it just starts becoming
so wholesome and nice, and then it continues even to
like the theme park, if you want to go over
the theme park a little bit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, So the theme park was one of the
highlights for me. When they eventually got to the fight,
right and the guy was Sakamoto was in his mind
kind of relaying what moves to make for Shin so
that even though he was blind because of the poison,
he could still in the costume hit perfectly the opponent.
I thought that was that was one of the standout
moments for me. But what else and obviously the fact
that they're the whole time they're keeping it all from
the wife, right, and making sure that Aoi because she
definitely doesn't want any trace of that world around her,
or she threatened to divorce Sakamoto, which is like Sakamoto
is kryptonite. So yeah, just the whole time them working
together to also beat the assassin, but also to make
sure that aUI is not like suspicious of what's going on.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. So it's like they finally had a day
off together as a family. He was taking his family
to a theme park and of course, to fucking assassins
show up to try to take him out, and he
wants them to have a good time. He doesn't want
his wife to see that, like the old world is
so chasing after him, trying to kill him, even though
afterwards she's like, this isn't your fault, Like you are
not getting back into the world. The world that you
left behind is coming to take you out for your
bad county. But then there's some absolute highlight moments where
an assassin follows them onto a roller coaster, right, and
on a roller coaster, Sakamotos all strapped in so he
can't really defend himself. He blocks the bullet with his
glasses that are like bullet proof glasses, so he was
able to judge the trajectory of the bullet. Absolute badass moment.
Then Shin pulls out a gun shoots the roller coaster
so he could detach himself. And now they're having a
fight on the roller coaster. They're going through a three
sixty loop. He jumps off the time it lands on
the other side, like takes the guy out, Like even
though that's impossible. Like I said before, it just badass,
and within this world of assassins and abilities, feels plausible
and it is super super cool. And then, like you
pointed out later on, we have the moment where Shin
in the bunny suit is fighting against the sky and
Shin can't see right because he got poisoned, I think exactly.
And then you have that moment where he's able to
writ read soccer motive's mind, and I love it because
it feels like a video game where he's like left right,
punch upper, cut back, close the gap, and it think
all happening in good animation and choreography, which is another
thing I want to mention, where like the art style
at times and sometimes the talking scenes aren't the best looking,
but when it actually goes down, the choreography of the
fights in the animation rise to the occasion.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And I saw that moment out of context first
because this is a popular show, right, and I was like, oh,
that's interesting. I assumed the first time I saw it,
before we even watched the show, I assumed he was
just in his mind saying what's happening. But when you
actually watched the show and you're like, okay, he's telling
him what to do. But that's just something that Yeah,
even before I watched this, I was exposed to that
moment because people were hyped about it and probably shared
it a lot on social media and stuff exactly. And
then we also get those oh my god, this was
so funny. Bro those the couple which I don't even
know if they're officially a couple, but you know, the
dude that used to know Sakamoto hard Boiled Hard Boiled,
and his his female partner, Like I don't know the
exact nature of their relationship, but she is into him.
But yeah, it was It's so funny, like his backstory
where dude, it was so fun where he's like following him,
he's working out. There seems to be this like unspoken
bond between them, and they're spending every day together and
then someone asks him, like, yo, who is that. He's like,
I don't know, bro. That was the funniest moment, dude.
That was so good.
Speaker 2: I felt like I want you to like me or anything.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. It was just so well done. The
expectations and he was like perfect class in comedy where
where he he's building up this whole relationship and then
the guy doesn't even know.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh like then during the badass fight between him,
Boyle is literally kicking's ass. Yeah, and slowly Soakamoto starts
having the flashbacks where Boyle mentions like his abilities that
like the bubblegum or like the bouncy ball thing that bounces,
or like his punch that's like powered by like rockets
or whatever or explosions.
Speaker 1: He gives like it's so lame or what and.
Speaker 2: He's like, yeah, that's lame, that's lame. But he remembers
those interactions after like he gets the ship knocked out
of him.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, so he ended up they ended up coming
to some kind of understanding and respect for each other,
which is which is nice to see for Hard Boiled,
because you really start to uh root for the guy
because he's such an underdog and he wants you. He
wants that Sakamoto respect so.
Speaker 2: Much his villain origin story or like the reason why
he's probably so powerful these days is probably because of
Sakamoto just rejecting him and not like acknowledging his existence.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, he he That was one of my favorite interactions.
And yeah, I absolutely love that. And yeah, like you said,
that was that was I think the instance where he
actually had to get thin again to beat him, right, Yes,
exactly so.
Speaker 2: And I think at the same time as Boyle fighting Zakamoto,
we had the woman that you mentioned who probably likes boil.
It seems like, yeah, was fighting against Lou and Shin.
Speaker 1: Exactly, and uh then we saw the drunken fist while
while Shin was tied.
Speaker 2: Up right.
Speaker 1: Yep, yeah, and then she beat him. So Linn Lou
Lou won, right, so there was was there any any
crazy reason or did she just outfight her and and
the other woman was impressed?
Speaker 2: I can't really remember.
Speaker 1: I feel like, yeah, again, this was because we were
initially gonna do this last week, guys, So I watched
this episode like a little further back, but yeah, I
feel like she just outclassed her, which shows how good
our team is.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm. Yeah. I can't remember perfectly either, just because
I've been watching this weekly as it goes. Solo Leveling
and Doctor Stone and Soccomotive just been watching weekly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so Leveling I've been watching them too. Yeah, I'm
pretty much watching everything except the Doctor Stone stuff.
Speaker 2: Sure, source of Strength. Okay, the next episode, up with five,
Socomotive goes.
Speaker 1: Oh, good, you're using that strategy.
Speaker 2: Good job, Yes, I am iled. We're on up with six.
This is where the sniper comes in. They're like at
this like mall thing, like a paintball event, and this
sniper comes in to try to take out Soccermoto earlier
in the episode, and they're just like, yeah, Socomotive's not here.
And then I was like, shit, I came all this
way to Soccer Mootal's convenience store and Soccermotives not Here's like, yeah,
we're like a franchise, tons of them. And he's just
like so stupid, like stupid and dumb and simple minded,
but he's like also a really really good guy that
you come to like, yeah, and it's just funny that,
like he put all his stats into sniping, like he's
actually a beast assassin when it comes to sniping, but
he's just good at nothing else.
Speaker 1: And again that emphasizes the it's all about the team,
because outside of a team, if he's on his own,
the dude can't accomplish anything. Really, he can't even identify that. Yes,
the address where he was expecting to see Sakamoto, he
sees a Sakamoto and and he can be convinced it's
not where he should be. He can't do anything on
his own. But in this group working with the others,
as we saw in the latest episode where he saved Shin,
it works perfectly. And yeah, I absolutely love the character.
Love the bird his bird dynamic as well with his
bird friend.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's right.
Speaker 1: I want to know the name, but it's like a
piece something but I can't recall. It's not telling me here.
Speaker 2: I can't remember. I do like the fact that afterwards,
like you mentioned that the whole family dynamic after this fight.
First of all, Mashimo or I think his name is
put up a good fight and he had Takamoto on
the edge, like he was making these shots that Soccermoto
never expected, like the rebound shots or the shots were
like he's mid air and like he's not grounded. He's
making these snipes and Soccermoo was barely dodging them. And
then in the end he's just like Mashimo's all obviously
like super depressed with his backstory and how he was
like kind of rejected from all these the Assassin organization,
and he was just like, wow, you're really strong, and
he got Soakamoto's respect. I love that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know me too. I really enjoyed that aspect
to it. And keep in mind, like it was like
Shin and Sakamoto versus this guy and his skills, and yeah,
obviously they had they had also the fact that they
were trying to hide what's actually going on here. But
still it was super impressive and and I think like
this Assassin not Assassin team that they've built up is
pretty op. That's for sure.
Speaker 2: I agree, And there's just like a good character dynamic.
I really really like it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, that's the thing that's where this show
shines honestly for me, because okay, how often how long
can you have you know, op fights be interesting probably
a long time, honestly, But I do think that that
here we're just more so care about it and are
invested because the characters are so great. Like I really
I really feel for Shin and you know what he
had to go through and his Yeah, he fucked up
in the beginning where he actually tried to kill Sakamoto
even though he respected him so much, and he thought
if he doesn't do it, someone else will. But then
he realized his mistake, and you know, just he remains
loyal after that and apologizes for what he did, and
now he would, you know, die for Sakamoto and his family.
So it's just, yeah, that Shin's my standout for sure.
But yeah, I look forward to seeing more about Lou.
So far it's been a lot of comedic stuff, but
I look forward to seeing what else we learn about Lou.
Speaker 2: And I hope that we get to see more from
He's gay as well, because I really like he's gay.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they all have their kind of like tragic story
aspects to them, right, Sakamotos maybe wasn't explored as much yet.
They're probably gonna be more to learn. But you know,
Lou with the family, then he's gay, with never being
accepted for anything else other than sniping, and then that
that's not enough, and then Shin obviously the weirdo who
can read minds. So yeah, it's interesting.
Speaker 2: Yep. I agree. Also, so we're going on to episode seven.
It's called like Jurassic Bastard and this is where like
that random group kidnaps but they thought it was Shin.
They were trying to kidnap Shi Shin.
Speaker 1: I believe, right, Yeah, people are so stupid. It's like
he's scale all. It's like, uh yeah, I'll ower again.
It's it's crazy, but yeah, it's funny because they think
like and it literally you know what happened. They changed
name time like the aprons and that's literally the reason
that they kidnapped her because she was wearing his apron
with his name tag on it. And yeah, it's just
so so crazy, but it led to obviously the chase
scene and very cool moments.
Speaker 2: M hmm. I agree. Unfortunately I didn't watch up with eight.
Speaker 1: That's the latest even so eight eight I think is
the latest one, right, or is there more?
Speaker 2: I think eight is the latest one. I only watched seven.
Speaker 1: Okay, because yeah, so you you did at least see
the start of the fight with that guy that drugs
himself and makes Shin speak backwards, right.
Speaker 2: Yes, I did.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so they in the very beginning of the next
episode that you didn't watch it, they resolved that fight.
And that's what I was talking about earlier on where
where Sakamoto because he he kind of used this system
where it's like you can't punch, you hesitate when you
go to punch your friend naturally, and he's like using
that messing with their biologies and so and he makes
it for Shin that he can punch Shin, but he
can't punch the guy because the guy is like biologically
hardwired to be his friend. It's some kind of like
I don't know sign stuff. But so then Shin actually
like goes in front between the guys and then suck
them out to tell him how to dodge his attacks,
and that allows him to like punch full and he
hits the enemy behind them. But yeah, it was it
was definitely again have to use strategy to win, but
he didn't have to go to his thin self. It
wasn't that much of us stretch. It was mostly the trickery,
right because uh Shin was also speaking backwards, like you know,
it was almost.
Speaker 2: A strategic fight, it sounds like, and I'm looking forward
to watching it. When I went to watch it, it
wasn't dubbed yet, so I put it off and that
I forgot about it.
Speaker 1: It's so funny, bro, And I feel like, are you
Are you a guy who defends subbed? There?
Speaker 2: Now, I tend to prefer subbed, But once I start
something in dubb, I'm locked in on dubb.
Speaker 1: See you guys watch what they do, not what they say.
Briggs By defense of but but he's waiting for the
dub to come out. But again, what your mean?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're you're I feel like, once I hear the
voices and dubbed, I want to watch it in dub.
Once I hear the voice in the subs, I want
to watch it and subbed. And I tend to stay
on that trajectory unless there's just no more subbed episodes
than I'll probably I mean, no more dubbed episodes than
I'll probably watch it and subbed. But for weekly like
this is being simul dubbed, and it just wasn't there
when I went to do it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, fair enough, And and like I said, you start
to like these characters. They start to feel like friends, family,
And because of that, you know, you're used to their
voices as well. It'd be weird if all of a
sudden you hear strange voices you're not used to watching.
Speaker 2: Also, like I tend to do most of my reactions
on stream, Like I tend to watch Animal.
Speaker 1: A lot, and people like it.
Speaker 2: I'm guessing exactly, like when people are watching streams, sometimes
they're cooking, sometimes they're like fucking at work, and they're
it's easier to multitask when they're watching and dubbed. Even
my clips tend to do better and dubbed. So this
is from a business standpoint, it makes sense for me
to watch it and dubbed, And it's also easier on
my end as well, because like I have my what
I'm watching and reacting to, I have chat that I'm
looking at on my other monitor, and I have my
obs on my other monitor that I'm adjusting scenes sometimes,
So like when I'm watching sub I feel like I'm
just locked in on reading versus dubbed. I could kind
of handle the whole business process of it, versus like
when I'm in bed and I'm just like watching anime
like I'm gonna put on subs, like I'm gonna watch
one Piece and subbed, you.
Speaker 1: Know, yeah, okay, well honestly, if in bed, I also
feel like, you know, it's more relaxing to just not
have to worry about the subtitles.
Speaker 2: But fair enough, Yeah, I do think that sometimes. Actually
I lied. Most of the times, the sub tends to
feel just better in regards to like that was I
guess what was intended and then they're making adjustments to
make it in English.
Speaker 1: No, I totally agree. I do think that it's a
higher quality. The only thing is I find myself also
preferring dub most of the time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, just because it's.
Speaker 1: Easier, I think, like lazier.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's funny. The trajectory guy went on. I feel
like I started off only dubs, and then I started
to realize while subs is actually better, like things that
are badass in in Japanese sometimes they're cringing and English
or whatever. Like I'm like, I became a bit of
a sub elitist as I got more and more into anime,
and then as I get older and I feel like
I care a little bit less, I just do whatever
is the most convenient and usually that's dubbed. I kind
of went full full circle.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember back in the day I used to
watch I don't even know if the website is still running,
probably or maybe not, but just dubs and it was
like all these anime and dubs, no subs, and that
was like my main source for watching.
Speaker 2: That's hilarious. You and your brother are so different. This
brother's such a such a sub elitist, it's crazy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but he was also an anime elitist, Like he
used to like not think Shoonan was good and stuff
like that. And obviously he's changed the tune of his
horn whatever you want to say it, cause yeah, you know,
he used to be like, you know, colde Gia and
I love these these animes talking about like thatath no,
like they're all amazing. But you know, I'm not gonna
put down Shan like a great Shonan.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, it's it's a good thing to see that
someone's able to change and grow and develop, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, and Briggs.
Speaker 2: Stinking with their own ways for twenty years.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's good at that. He he is very I
know the right answer at the time and he's like
everyone else is wrong, but he does admit when he's
wrong down the line, and he'll be like, yeah, I
was right. I should have bought bitcoin in twenty eleven.
But what can you do because we had a friend
telling us to do that in twenty eleven. But yeah, yeah,
So another thing I was gonna say because it's a
bit sad you didn't watch this latest episode, but yeah,
there's a really good Shin Mashimo moment. He's Sky or
whatever I need to I'm just gonna say Mashimo because
I know Mashimo's correct. I don't know if I'm saying
the right first name, so I'm just gonna say Shimo
the Sniper and Shin they have a really great moment
fighting an invisible guy, and yeah, it's it's one of
my highlights so far. So I look forward to you
to you seeing it and reacting to it. And also
a high level opponent Kashima appears, who's like a human
weapon that Sakamoto has to fight against, and we see
other members from the Order and it's funny how friendly
they are with Sakamoto because Sakamoto was in the Order.
So Shishiba and Osaragi a new member of the Order,
and yeah, it's just where the world building is getting interesting,
like all these man that should be a that would
be a good video A all members of the Order explained, Yeah,
if I caught up to this, that would be an
interesting thing because all these guys are very interesting, these
these assassins.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, interesting, write that down, that down, Yeah, potential
anime up for a video guys that you can potentially
look forward to.
Speaker 2: There All right, Well, overall, I think it's got some
badass moments. The characters are kind of the strong point,
and it's hilarious at times as well. I do recommend
this anime. And what are we going to do? What
are we gonna do next week? What are we think? Yo?
Speaker 1: So I will actually started reading where we left off
in Mushokutense. You remember I bought that volume, so I
started reading that it's thirteen and I think there's twenty six.
So I don't know if if you want to maybe
do like a volume a month, and that could be
like one of our monthly episodes of Mushutense, if you'd
be down to do that at some point, but we
could do something else next week.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying I think I'm down for somebody else
next week. That would be I am kind of down
for that.
Speaker 1: I do love because it's like it sounds like a lot,
like four hundred pages per per light novel, but you know,
the text is not big. It's like conversational. I think
in a month it's very doable.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's that's that's possibility because yeah, that could
be a source of content for anime opper as well.
So we could kill two birds with one stone.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, I'm done for that, but for next we've
got to do something else. I'm trying to think.
Speaker 1: We did did we ever? What's the deal with uh
that elf one Freeran? Did we ever finish that?
Speaker 2: I think we did. No. I really enjoyed fear In,
but I think we did finish.
Speaker 1: Okay, if we finished it, nothing then because I did
want to finish. If we didn't, would.
Speaker 2: You be interested in doing the first season a Doctor's
Stone and not really?
Speaker 1: Not really? I would just want to jump to to
the new season. I feel like I would. I would
do that because I did watch the first season. I
don't really want to redo it.
Speaker 2: Fair enough, Okay, so why don't we do the newest
season of Doctors done.
Speaker 1: Then yeah, let's do it. How many episodes are out
just so how it heads up?
Speaker 2: I think around eight?
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, it sounds good.
Speaker 2: It's been airing alongside Soccomoto Days and one More or
Less Give or take Perfect.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, sounds good. We'll do it. Then. I'm sure
that I'm gonna be like, yo, this is actually good.
Well I was I hating, but I feel like, I
don't know, it's so science yre and it's like, but
it's cool science, but it's like try hard cool signs.
We'll see, we'll see. I usually end up liking things.
Speaker 2: Yes, it's true. You're you didn't you gend me a
little bit more optimistic than me with these series?
Speaker 1: Well here it's funny. Here, I'm pessimistic, but I'm gonna
be like I'm gonna view.
Speaker 2: It until you until you watch it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, this is the best thing ever.
Speaker 2: I'm optimistic until I watch it. You're pessimistic until you
watch it, and then we reverse.
Speaker 1: Yeah. It's a good combination for sure. All Right, Ah,
that is it for this one. Guys see a space
