We Take AO3's Anime Top Or Bottom Challenge! - Otakus Anonymous Episode #162

Hi, hello everybody, what's going on? Welcome back to another episode of Talks To Anonymous. As you can see me and Danny are once again remote. And that is because this weekend I went to EDC and I didn't get back to LA until four AM last night. So I didn't wake up until noon. So hiking up to Danny's unfortunately wasn't my best job choice that I could make, unfortunately. But also I am a little bit sick because I was just surrounded by a half a million people who are all that mouth breathing and coughing in the center of the driest place on earth, which is Las Vegas at night in the spring. So my lips are chapped, I'm tired, we are online, but I'm home, I'm in LA, Danny's home, he's in LA. And Danny, even though I've been moshing my way, sober for the weekend, by the way, sober raving, that might be my best boy this week. Sober for the weekend. You seem as though you have more of a roller coaster ride this weekend than I did somehow. Boy have I, I've been just up to my neck in activities and events and nonsense. You've been up to your neck in dogs. Not at all, all I'm talking about is the fact that you've adopted little wolf as she's, she? As she's being dubbed? Yeah, she, dude, everyone's been on my ass because yeah, Tegan Eerly, the voice of Athena and Epic the Musical hit me up and was like, I found this puppy on the side of the road and he is in bad shape and I'm only in LA for a minute. Like I can't hold onto it. Do you know anywhere we could bring it? And so I was like, yeah, just bring him over here. We'll hold onto him until we could get a shelter to take care of him and this and that. So she brings him over this tiny, like actual little half raccoon, half wolf with like heterochromia, very adorable dog. Oh, and Nick's gone, just like that, it's just me. Hello? Just me. A little adorable little dog. Oh, now he's on my other side. What happened to you? I have no idea. What do you mean? Keep going, keep going. So we had this little wolf dog and we thought it was a boy and then it turned out that she was a girl after we took her to the vet and everyone's been on my ass being like, how didn't you know she was a girl? One has a penis. That's not entirely accurate. That dog has a penis. I'd like to point it out here. I've seen that dog's belly. If that thing doesn't have a penis, neither do I. She had a very penis shaped vagina, it turned out. Like just a really protruding and visible vagina that tricked all of us into thinking she was a boy. So anyway, yeah, we held onto her. I brought her to the vet, got her some medication for all the nonsense that she had. It was like one of those situations where she's just like a balloon in the center and very skinny in the front and back. Yeah, so she had like, what is that thing that all the puppies get? Not Parvo, she didn't have Parvo, right? No, she would be dead. That kills puppies. Yeah, it's a real coin flip on us whether, hey listen, little wolf survivor. So isn't the full story that the voice actors of Athena found somebody trying to sell this dog to somebody on the street or something? Yeah, that's like the longer version of it. It was like some like strung out teenager, like holding him by the scruff and being like 20 bucks for this puppy and some like unhoused person was trying to buy him and Deegan was like, I'll take that. Oh yeah, it was a real bidding war, real bidding war for this coyote puppy. Yeah, for this maybe definitely a coyote. Like I do think there's a fair or decent chance that you had a coyote in your house for a couple of days, which is ironic because the coyotes have been trying to break into your property for weeks now. So like they have truly finally infiltrated your home but it sounds as though little wolf is gone. Yes, little wolf is gone. We brought her to the Labelle Foundation on Monday where she will be put up for adoption. She's with a foster right now, like one of their fosters and they are like a bougie dog foundation. Like they almost exclusively taken very cute, like stereotypically cute puppies and almost exclusively give them out to look, like they have like an intense vetting process. So she'll go to some fucking Beverly Hills, you know, bougie royal goddess or whatever. Yeah, and then in three months they'll be like, sorry, this is half wolf, half coyote. We don't know how this one slipped through the cracks here. It might have because Danny Mada dropped it off. Yeah, sorry. I don't know what this raccoon with two penises is, but can you take it back? This half snake, half raccoon monstrosity you dropped off at our door here. But listen, I'm gonna tell you right now, Emma Stone loves it. Yeah. So yeah, very, very, you know, cute, very chill puppy. She was very sweet. She slept most of the times because she had like Giardia, which is like some awful puppy disease, but like won't cure. Just like keeping her loosey-goosey and sedated. So she slept like almost the entire time. And Sarah is absolutely devastated that she is no longer at our house. Honestly, that is one of the funniest things about being a foster, especially about being like a forward presenting like somebody who's online as a foster. Nobody ever understands what a foster is. Nobody ever, everyone's like, everyone's like, you're like, oh, like me and you have fostered a bunch of dogs and it's like, oh, we foster dogs because like we have the time, the space and the money to do it kind of thing. But like we cannot continue to foster dogs. If every dog we foster, we foster fail. So everyone's like, oh, hoping for a foster fail. Oh, that's your new dog now. That kind of thing is like, you don't understand. If like I lose more and more capacity to be a foster, every new dog I adopt. Yeah. I know. I was like, because I wasn't into the idea of fostering dogs because I knew there was like a 98% chance I or Sarah would get extremely attached. And so Sarah has been like catatonic the last two days, inconsolable and I'm like, we can foster more. And she's like, but I fell in love with this one. And so- You had it for three days and she was asleep for most of it. I know. So we'll see if we foster more or what the situation is. But right now it's been just navigating the postpartum of giving little wisdom to the shelter. Well, considering the fact that the last dog that you fostered turned out to be a fruit bat, the idea of you getting a coyote wolf kind of tracks. You just keep getting fucking weird, like Chimera, like show Tucker Chimera dogs. Well, it's funny because like I named her Wispin when we thought she was a boy. And then when she became a girl, everybody was like, well, Wispin still works. That, you know, it's a made up fantasy name. It could be any gender. And for some reason I'm like, well, for some reason I'm like, we gotta change this name. Wispin, Wispin is no girl dog's name. Wispin's a boy, he's a boy squirrel. He's a boy squirrel and no one can take that from me. I know, I don't know why, but I keep being like, well, what if we bounce around some other names? Like some not Wispin names. Like Wispinetta, you know, like. Sarah was calling her Wispy. Wispy, I mean, Wispy's pretty good. That could be a girl dog's name. But yes, so I was up to substantially less, substantially less wholesome things this weekend here. As you guys have all heard, I went to EDC, Electrodays and Carnival, haven't been there in three or two years. And that's because it's exhausting. It's the most tiring thing in the history of things that have ever been created. It's a three day long rave that starts at 7 p.m. It ends at 6 a.m. It takes an hour to get there from the strip, an hour to get back. You don't get back until the sun is rising. You wake up six hours later and then you're like, cool, what's another 30,000 steps? But I went with all my friends. We had a great old grandiose time. I got to interview Black Tiger Section again about the dangers of AI entering into art. That video is going out tomorrow. So the same time as this podcast. So go check that out. They just dropped their new manga, Omen. There's physical copies being sold now, that kind of thing. But yeah, Danny, we are in a weird spot right now because we're recording on a Tuesday. And our favorite anime of this season, Married Talks, then drops on Tuesday. So we have our standard roster of anime today, but we also have two episodes of Marriage Talks and two very fun episodes of Marriage Talks and talk about. And then we also have a couple of brand new games that were just sent to us by Stank. Couple of ones that we're gonna be splitting, probably do some Patreon-exclusive games. I believe today we wanted to play, what did we wanna do? Do we wanna do anime Tinder part two? Do we wanna do Who Did It Better? Epic the Musical or anime or AO3 top or bottom? I feel like we should save the Epic one for when there's like Epic news. Yes. Or when we get Jorge on the podcast, your brand new best friend. Yeah, or if we got my new best friend Jorge. Wait, hold up, I can't believe we didn't talk about this. You went to an amusement park with Jorge. I went to an amusement park with Jorge last Tuesday and then this something, he's green. Oh boy, he's green. Is he green for anyone else? What's happening? I have no idea what just happened. My whole screen went black. You're entirely green. My screen is black on my end. It sucks because like the internet pod, the zoom pods are so convenient and we get such good video quality, but one, obviously people don't prefer them. And two, somehow two internet personalities can't figure out decent wifi. Well, first off, I've been in this home for all of 12 hours and this is Dorothy's. Can you see me? I'm green. Yeah, you just a big black square coming in like, well, listen, first off. All right, because I have, I have clearly. Hi everybody, today we have with us green. Green, I've loved your work ever since you merged, you collabed with yellow and blue. Can you tell us a little bit about that? Oh God, all right, you're about to lose me. Uh-oh. Uh-oh, a disaster. I'll start reading chat. Green plus Nick equals Grinch. Good, very good. I'm sorry, Nick, good video quality. Well, you- Very colors, I'm back. Why is green still here? Listen, green, green, I killed him, he's gone. No, he's not, he's here, we see him. Yeah, yeah, green's gone. He's dead, he's dead and gone. I'm back, baby. The full spectrum of arrays of the rainbow here, what a million colors. Do you not, green is still here though, do you see this? No, what? I'm here, I can see myself. No, look, green is here. I'm showing you. He was black, there's two wolves, Dan, he fight them. There's two nicks, what? He left, he left, there were two of you. Oh, that sounds, that's a nightmare. Tuesday, I went to Disney World with Jorge and Luke Holt, who plays Zeus in Epic the Musical, and then Sunday, I played some magic with them and then also Telemachus. And that was. Wow. Jorge's doing a big decompression week where he just hangs out with as many people he can, or that he knows in LA before he goes on this gauntlet of pitching the movie to a bunch of studios. So that's- What is the movie? It's like the epic, because unfortunately, it's a little late for that, considering the fact the world's greatest director is doing the odyssey right now. Oh my God, you haven't heard about this? Jerry Brookheimer, who like produced all of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, picked up Epic the Musical to be a feature film, an animated one. What? So right now, that's why Jorge is like out and about in LA because he's pitching, he can't leave Los Angeles until they lock in a deal with an animation studio and a production company. What? That's crazy. Wait, wait, but you just said that he went back to Puerto Rico. So did he lock down an animation deal then? No, this week, he is wall-to-wall doing meetings, like nine meetings a day. Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. Okay, cool. Well, listen, if you wanna get him on the podcast, I'm sure he'd love to talk about this with us and you. No, I'll see, I'll ask. I'm gonna wait till- And we'll talk about all of his inspirations how they tie to anime and we won't do a fucking, it won't be on the Riverside, that's for sure. Listen, ever since I was like, ever since I posted that I hung out with Jorge at Magic the Gathering or at MagicCon, literally everybody has been like, have you asked him this about the Danny War? Have you asked him this? Oh, did you tell him this and this and that? And I know that's exactly what he expects me to be like. So I don't bring up Epic unless it's provoked by him. I have been cool as a cucumber, not making it a business thing. And every time I post a story, another wall of DMs or people are like, ask him to do this, ask him to do that. And so I'm being easy breezy right now. Yeah, you're being super cool and nonchalant. That's very impressive. I think it's pretty much understood that you don't go, hey Jorge, great job making Epic the Musical. Hope you sell the movie with Jerry Bruckheimer. Have you heard about how several Danny's online dislike me? That people, that's genuinely what people want me to do. Like people were like, what's the status report on the Danny War? Did you ask him? The second I got up to him. That's just, it would just be a completely assing. Like, hey, nice to meet you. I'm gonna talk about me and as it pertains to your lore here. Like what? No. I know, no one believes me that I didn't ask him about it. Everybody's like, you lying piece of shit. It's because he said it wasn't you, isn't it? And I'm like, no, I'm trying to trick him. I'm just trying to trick him into thinking I'm a normal person. I know Danny might seem like this like, suave, confident, real, like, oh, everybody's like, no one's cooler than Danny, but trust me when I say, when he meets somebody that he identifies as famous, he's just like, you like magic? Okay, I'll let you win. Ice scoop, ice scoop. You'll sit in the front, Jorge. Now listen, we'll do the water ride. What you said, the one where you don't get wet. Well, what a great breakdown of me. Every time I go to like any amusement park, by the way, I have like a violent flashback of when you and Dorothy got off of the flume ride and you were like, man, we got soaked and the employee working there was like, yeah, it's a water ride asshole, keep it moving. It was like 8 p.m. We were at like horror nights and it was like 62 degrees. And I was like, I was wearing jeans and they were dripping wet. Oh God, I was wearing, I was wearing jeans and they were literally dripping wet. And I was like, oh, we're all laughing about it. And then she was like, it's a water ride. If you didn't want to get wet, don't ride it. And I was like, one, how is that gonna help me? I can't undo the wet. Two, I'm literally laughing. I thought you were with the Disney World, not universal. We have gang lines here. Wait, so are we gonna do the top 100? We could do that or there was another one that was interesting. I feel like guess the tender one was kind. It's similar to last week, so we'll mix it up. Do you want to do a three top or bottom or guess the top 100 anime? Let's do a three top or bottom. Okay, you want to do that now? Yeah. Okay. All right. Okay. A03 is a fan fiction website. Thanks for the clarification. Did you know what A03 was before today, Nick? I knew what A03 and yeah, I know A03 and Wattpad. I do not know the difference between the two of them. I've never been on either, but I know of their existence. A03 looks like a website from like 1998 where you learn how to make like Molotov cocktails. And like it looks like 4chan. Yeah, yeah, it looks like 4chan. And Wattpad is more modern. Oh, God, is this coded in HTML? This is awful. Yeah, I know. A03 is like awful to navigate. Okay, I'm typing in my name. That's a mistake. Oh, God, oh, God. Did you type in your name or did you type in NC Hammer? Is that my... I typed in NC Hammer 23. A Dream That Dams by T.Hunt. A dream that damns? Yeah, I think it's tagged under Naruto. When Shino is 10, he gets a mark he must never ever show another. Blame NC Hammer for this ship. What did you do? I don't know. Who did you ship Shino with? This is chapter one, a birthday. Is there a chapter two? Uh-oh. I don't know if this person got enough feedback from chapter one to ever write a chapter two. How many hits and shit does it have? I don't even know how I would begin to check that. It's chapter one out of three, nine comments, 17 kudos. One bookmark, 107 hits. Nice. Are you happy with it? Nice, nice. Good job, T.Hunt. Very nice. Maybe we'll read the chapter that was responsible for AO3 for Patreon later. That'd be fun. So we're gonna do... AO3 is a fan fiction website. Below is a series of ships from anime. Your task is determine who is the top and who was the bottom in the given relationship. The answers are based on AO3 tag numbers within each ship tag. Whoever in the pair has more top tags is the top. Whoever has less is the bottom. That's so interesting. Gotcha. That's very fun. I cannot believe this is something that... Is that a fake cigarette? I can't believe you didn't mention it when I pulled it out. I was super stupid looking at actual AO3 ships. Apparently I am responsible for... Is that a real cigarette? Early rose. I was like, let's get to reading these. I pulled a cigarette out. No, these are fake. These are for bits. These are for bits like this. Are they the ones that you use in movies where it's herbal? Yeah, it's herbal. They smell like vanilla and taste like cigarette. They're technically... Oh, so they're just... Okay, so I was gonna say, I feel like they're still probably just as bad for you on account of the fact that you're still smoking nicotine. Or you're still smoking like smoke. Yeah, you shouldn't be smoking anything, for sure. But if you gotta smoke something, smoke vanilla herbal smokes. Honey Rose London... Good. If you gotta smoke... Heath Rose London vanilla herbal smokes. Apparently our ship name is Nick X. Mota. God, I love having a live chat we can read. I also like having a live chat. I love the idea of... Nothing popped up for Nick X. Mota. Brats. I love the idea of us being like... Look, smoking's awful for you. You have to smoke something. Make it Honey Rose lemons. Like... You haven't smoked anything. This episode was brought to you by Black Hair Tar... Black Tar Heroin Christ. There you go. I've been hitting too much. This episode's brought to you by unfiltered Lucky Strikes. Oh, man, and you. Yeah, it tastes like freedom. Okay, according to AO3, who is the top in this relationship? Izawa, a racerhead from my hero academia, or President Mike? It's gotta be. He's not the one with bondage powers, no? You, okay, but here's the thing. Izawa, like everyone's like, oh yeah, Izawa's obviously like the top, but I feel as though there's like reverse psychology going here, because like Izawa's kind of a soot and array. And I could see him bottoming for, you know, President Mike here, because like President Mike, he's like, he's boisterous, he's loud. Everyone loves him. Izawa, he's like sunk away. And so like President Mike understands him, he nurtures him, and that's why Izawa is the bottom, but like, I feel like I could be overthinking it. I don't know, I'm trying to think of like lines, Izawa. Like I'm putting myself in the headspace here. I'm the third, I'm in the Cuck chair, and I'm like. Cuck Chase Lounge. Yeah, Cuck Chase Lounge. I'm like, what am I hearing right now? You know, what is the audio of the room? And all I'm hearing is like, oh yeah, spank it. And so I think Izawa is the bottom. Having any kind of sexual relation with President Mike is like literally a risk, I imagine. Like, like, like, if they're like, ball gags were invented for one person, it was probably President Mike, because Jesus Christ, you put yourself in danger. And I'll tell you right now, ball gags are not meant for the tops. That's objectively fair. Okay, so I think we're both in Izawa for top here. And it is the answer. President Mike is the top. Are you out of your gourd? Oh, I am so, listen, I've only been on an AO3 for 10 minutes and I'm already tapped into exactly what they believe. I'm in the fucking zeitgeist. People are too into like subverting expectations. People love like a power bottom. And I think it's too, because this is ridiculous. There's no way. Izawa has the rope. It's not his power, technically, but he knows how to do it, which makes it even more fucking saucy. You know what's perfect? You know what's perfect, though? Izawa, President Mike doesn't need a ball gag, because Izawa can nullify his quirk. Didn't think about that, now did ya? Didn't think about that, he can literally shut him up. Now we're cooking. Hey man, I'll smoke to that, brother. Do one in one drag. Do one in one drag. Your catatonic girlfriend's gonna love when you start smoking inside as a bit. I like opening the door to my bedroom. I know you upset that we lost Little Wolf, but maybe try, have a head of this. I opened the door to my bedroom and it's just like a thick, tangible wall of smoke that I like opened another door up. But it all becomes out like tar-stained. I saw a comment that's gone. I was like, I figured if we got rid of one puppy, we could get the other. Yes, what you want, right? One in one out. I saw a comment that was like smoke the bone and I was never closer in my life to succumbing to peer pressure. Smoke the bone? Yeah, like, you know, fucking, like a cigarette. Calling the cigarette a bone, but it was such cool terminology that I was like, let me find a lighter. Like you're right. Yeah, I was gonna say, what are you gonna call it? Jazz cigarette next? Jazz cigarette's great. That's ridiculous though. AO3's wrong. All right. Who is the top in this relationship according to AO3? Your forger or Lloyd forger? Oh, it's your, 100% it's your. It's a hundred percent it's your. What? Dorothy says your. So what, from the peanut gallery, Dorothy says your. And you know what, listen, if somebody has been compared to a Lloyd and your ask it situation, I can tell you right now that your is the top in that situation. I didn't realize Dorothy was in the room. I like the idea that you're like, yeah, which ones the top? What's that sweetie? You don't know what you're trying to say to this game? Yeah. This game's so sad actually. Yeah. I like that gives me being haunted by the ghost of anime and like throwing, throwing opinions at me. So I finally, because I'm fucking them up myself. It is, yeah, 100% your. Has 68 top tags. Lloyd has 15. So like people are, so like this is like people actually voting on it. It is the amount of, it's the amount of fan fictions that have like the hashtag your top or Lloyd. Gotcha. On it. So it's like genuinely to be helpful because people will be like, oh, I want a fan fiction. That's like Lloyd on top, I guess. And then that's how you find that. So it's a synthesis of all of the fan fictions that have these specific components. Hold up, I'm looking, I'm looking up D-Mata top. You won't find a damn thing. Not a. No, you're right. I absolutely won't. Oh, I wonder, oh man, if Sean, if Sean knew what he was doing here, he would, he would have ours. He'd have ours listed last. Oh yeah, true. Maybe. I have truly, I looked up D-Mata bottom and D-Mata top and I didn't get anything. I don't know if I know how to use AO3. Yeah, I was just gonna say, I don't think you use on this or anything. Oh, D-Mata. I'm just, I'm just. There's a bunch of D-Matas. I'm typing up D-Mata. I'll look up, I'll look up D-Mata. Yeah, it's basically. Maybe that's why I didn't get anything for us. D-Mata top. Oh wow. Oh, there's three. There's three. Let's go. There's three for top. Okay, hold up, hold up. I'm searching up D-Mata bottom expeditiously. There's four for bottom. There's four for bottom. Let's go. Look, I'm not shocked that if anything, I'd be unbelievably shocked if there were more for D-Mata top. I'd have to like rebrand my entire personality. I'm in a close talk right now. It is kind of crazy. It is kind of crazy how many were for top though. I was surprised that there was three. One of them was rompo though. So like. Yeah, no. It is. I feel like people understand in that relationship you are the top. I'm a man wearing tiny little spectacles and a tie-dye crop top right now. Who am I topping? You know? I don't know. A man in tinier spectacles and a thinner crop top. All right, up next. Who does AO3 think the top in this relationship is? Kakashi Hatake or Mike Guy? All right, this is another one of those ones where like people are like, they're thinking way too hard about it because like the conventional knowledge of this relationship would tell you that Kakashi is the top, right? But in the same way that when we talked to President Mike and Aizawa, people are always gonna be like, oh, the quieter one. And like the quieter one is gonna be the bottom. Like the more boisterous, like even if like Kakashi presents as the person who's in charge of that relationship because like Mike Guy obviously idolizes him, I feel as though people are always gonna like silently root for like the more quiet and reserved one to actually be the bottom. I'm trying to tap in to AO3 logic. So my answer is gonna be the Kakashi's the bottom even though I believe in the real world Kakashi would be the top. Yeah, Kakashi having a mask is helpful too. Cause I feel like a lot of people want him to like pull the little mask down and be blushing. You know what I mean? I mean he'll put the little mask down and have a smaller mask under or big old fake lips. Trust me, we've pulled down Kakashi's mask many a times and it's never a blush. No, I've seen it. I've seen it, the big lips, the buck teeth, all the theories. Yeah, naturally. The second mask. It is, yeah, Mike Guy's top. I see, I'm telling you right now, it's always gonna be the louder one. Mike Guy has 70 tags and Kakashi has 49. That's, it's honestly very surprising to me that Kakashi only has 49 top tags. You wanna know how many Izawa had? Guess. Um, I, it's A03, Izawa's probably, would you say Izawa's the character most thirsted after in my hero academia? I don't know, cause Mike has more. My present Mike has more true, more top tags. I would say Izawa's got 100. 207. He's that much more popular than Kakashi. And present Mike has 34. I wonder if that's because like, my hero academia isn't more popular than Naruto, which to me just means that more my hero academia fans are writing fanfic than Naruto fans or Naruto fans use a different platform. I don't know, I don't know how we would judge because I think today more people are watching my hero than Naruto like actively considering one's a dead show and the other is a Boruto, you know? Oh, first off, first off, both are dead shows. They're both done. Now, I guess. No, I would say it's still like tons of people still watch Naruto to this day. Yeah, but I don't know. I don't know how we would, let me look it up. Let me see if there's any tangible way to find out which is more popular. Look, I feel like it might be like manga sales or something, but he probably just can't hold it. Wait, Google, what's it called? Google Trends. Oh, where you're like, oh, like, yeah, like when like, oh, like the word, the word like Liberty got searched in 1776. Huh? I totally get like a recurring meme where people go like all the way back to like 1812 and they're like, who was searching things here? Oh, how do I spell academia? These tags are the number within the relationship tag. Oh! So that may not be all time. So that's just within, that's just. I see. We lost, yeah. Which is insane. Which is insane, mind you, because that is a, in my mind, a much more popular, like shipping. Yeah, that is insane. So these are recent. I guess that makes sense. It'd be insane if there were only 200 fan fictions about Izawa over the course of all of history. I mean, would that be, I don't, I genuinely do not know the hit rate of fanfic writing. If I have like at least seven, Izawa should have like a thousand, right? Like there's no way, you know? Very fair, considering the fact that you've kind of swagger jacked everything about Izawa. Okay, here we go. Who is considered, who does AO3 consider the top in this relationship? Charlie Morningstar or Vaggy from Has been Hotel? I mean, that one, that's, that feels easy. That's Vaggy. Like that's not even like, people can't even, you can't even go too far beyond the pale, like we've done with Kakashi and Izawa and all that. Like that is very clearly just like Vaggy is in control. Like obviously Charlie from like a power dynamic is like the more, like she holds all the power. She's the princess of hell kind of thing. Vaggy is just like a fallen angel or a fallen executioner. And so like, does Charlie technically hold on to more power and hell, 100%? But like there's multiple times over the course of season two where Vaggy's like, Charlie, show the fuck out. And that's top energy to me. I agree. I think like voting, although, yeah, no. I think voting Charlie to be top is like just intentionally going against the grain, but that's why a part of me, I almost stopped myself and was like, is that what makes it more alluring as a fan fiction? Like are people like, oh, in canon, Charlie clearly exhibits bottom energy. I wanna go out of my way to find like, what is Charlie like as a top, you know? You know, Danny, I hadn't even thought about the artistic endeavor of all of it. I hadn't thought about the thrill. You know, I've just been, I've been here just trying to adhere to the lore. I forgot we're talking about artists. I don't know people. By the way, people keep throwing out terms. People are like, oh, Charlie's a pleasure top. Charlie's a service top. I don't know what these guys, I don't know what these, I feel, I've never felt older than I feel right now. Service top confused me. I think Vaggy's social tops and sexual bottoms. What are we saying? What's happening? I guess social top is like what you were talking about where it's like I present with top energy and then in the bedroom. That, wow, we're learning a lot here. I'm so lost. I'm so lost, Danny. Oh my God, I'm feeling this is how every woman I've ever talked to feels like talking to me about anime. Charlie is the top in this relationship with 39 votes and Vaggy has 16. I think it's always gonna be against the grain. I think we just have to vote against our hearts. I mean, but like, all right, the thing is with Mike Guy, Mike Guy made sense to me. Like that one made sense. I followed, I followed, it's just like, it feels so cut and dry for Charlie and Vaggy. That feels, like I get it. Once again, the louder one is the bottom. Like that's always, wait a minute, the louder one is the top. Charlie's louder than Vaggy. My system's broken. Someone said not old, just not gay. That's fair. I guess these are all technically gay terms. I just thought I was tapped in considering the media I engage with. Danny next episode's gonna have even smaller glasses. Like he's just like, every gay thing Danny learns shrinks the size of his spectacle. They're just the size of my pupil. Like they perfectly just covered, they're utilitarian. The blue light, I just see the blue light did not hit this part of my eye. Yeah, next episode, I'm just gonna paint one of these black called a key for cosplay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, just a fucking like pinhole. Who does AO3 think the top is in a relationship between Suguru Geto and Sataru Gojo? I didn't realize- This one, it- Both of their names are so similar. I hate the way Gage names people. Welcome to JJK, babe. It's literally every, from a first name and last name perspective, everybody is mere letters from each other. I didn't know Suguru and Sataru, like they're so similar. There's Gojo, Geto, Toji, Togo. Yep, no, there is no Togo, there's Todo. There's Hanami, Nanami, there is fucking, it's a nightmare. Megumi. It's a goddamn nightmare. Even when you get to the more complicated names, there's Higuruma, there's Hakari, it just never stops. I will say the image they use of Gojo is him just fucking wiping his dick on a Jo-Go's arm. Hanami. No, Jo-Go. Oh, yeah. Oh, when he just, yeah, when he just pulls off Jo-Go's arm, yes. I've never had a clearer answer here. If I get this wrong, truly everything I know about JJK and its fandom is incorrect, Gojo is the bottom in this relationship. People are saying Geto is top, Gojo is brat. I could say Gojo is the brat. This is going to be the biggest landslide in everything. Like Gojo obviously presents to the world as very confident. I guess you could say he's social top, service bottom. I mean, one could say that, I don't know about you. Mr. I don't know these terms. Oh, I can't learn. I can't approach this conversation with my ears and heart open, Daniel. I'm trying, all right? One might say Gojo is queen maxing. Does that work? That's how weird we sound. Gojo is a butt maxing right now. So Gojo is the bottom of this relationship. This is our biggest one-sided one. Okay, it is. Geto is the top with 2,392 recent tags. And Gojo is the bottom with 1,652 recent tags. You said 2,200 tags. Dude, Kakashi and Mike I had like 40. Dude, you think he's like cracking open that skull and like dipping his balls over that brain? Like what is this? Well, first off, well, first off, that's Kenjaku. That's not Geto. That's, listen, I could see a scenario where- He counts. That's it. That's it. How many of these, how many fan fictions between Gojo and Geto do you think are pre and post Kenjaku genuine question? I would say 10% might be post Kenjaku. That makes sense. And that's only because literally Kenjaku's plan for sealing Gojo in the prison realm is walking up to him and reminding Gojo of how in love he is with Geto's body so that he stops him for enough seconds that he gets sealed in the prison realm. Well, all right, those are all the comments I have on that. I cannot believe too, that, mind you, that's only, I mean, that being said, who else is getting? I genuinely think there's no one else being shipped with either of those two people. Like maybe there's like Gojo and mate, like meme, or like Utehime or something like that. But like it is, those two are conscripted to each other. It's like, you don't think Toji? Toji's getting shipped with any of them? Toji? Oh, like. Am I talking about the right guy? You are, you're talking about, you're talking about, oh no, no, no, you're talking, Toji is the one with the black shirt and white pants. He's Megumi's father. Toji for Shiguro. The only problem with Toji possibly being, see like, the problem there is Toji dies when Gojo and Geto are 17, because Gojo kills him at 17. Oh, I see, I see. Yay. So I understand it. I knew it. I'm not gonna, listen, I'm not gonna sit here and say that it hasn't been written. It probably has, but that being said, is it probably more controversial than Gojo and Geto? I'd say so, but also Gojo and Geto, they have this, they have this key free ol' rugrio, or whatever his name is. I'm sure no one will be upset about that. Black and white, and like black cat, and golden, golden like retriever, or cursed Yowie vibe, or like one's mean and one's nice, and that's what people eat up. Everyone is disagreeing with you in chat. Everyone's saying Gojo gets shipped with literally everyone in anime history. Everyone, every character who's ever been drawn has been shipped with Gojo. He's the new Rule 34. I would, I would ship myself. I'm sure there's a lot of Gojo ex-writers, or Gojo ex-self ones, or whatever you call it, but like, I just, Gojo has no on-screen chemistry with anyone not named Geto. No, there's, I mean, regardless of how you feel. I mean, I know they're right, Nanami. I can't even believe I didn't, they're 100% right. It is Nanami, he's, yep, you're right, but that's the same thing. It's the same thing, Nanami's cold and calculating, and he's the mean dad, and Gojo's the nice dad, and I'm sorry, you're 100% right. I mean, regardless of how you feel about it, doesn't change the fact that Gojo's getting shipped with like everyone who's ever been under the sun. That's fucking, that's Gege's next main character, Gogo. He's like, I don't know. There's four letters in the alphabet, I'm just using them. Yeah, I bet Gojo's been shipped with literally anyone else with white hair. Or do you think, I wonder if there's a lot of white, white hair on white hair, or if it's usually white hair on black hair? Cause I'm like- That's too, I feel like it's almost always white hair on black hair. Chad is saying that Gojo gets shipped with Kakashi a lot, which would just be. That's white on white. Actually, I mean, sentimentality, like sentimentally might line up. That'd be kind of a nightmare. I was thinking like Gojo and Dante, but I'm also just thinking of people my friends are in love with. Oh, that would, they would be in, oh, do you know when sufferable Gojo and Dante would be together, it would just be like them one-upping each other's one-liners, and then like, I would grab Dante's gun and blow my shit smooth off. Yeah, I agree. I would do the work for them. Up next, we have, who does AO3 think the top is in this relationship? Madara or Hashirama? Oh, oh, it's Hashirama. It's Hashirama. Oh my goodness. This is a conversation designed specifically for me, and I'm very happy about it. Hashirama hops out Madara, dude. Madara is so obsessed with Hashirama. He brings him up when nobody's talking about him. Madara will be fighting other people, and it'd be like, you're not as good as Hashirama. And it's like, cool dude, I get you, Mr. Boyfriend. He's been dead for 70 years. The answer is Hashirama. Oh, it's a tie. It's a full 60 on 60 tie, a complete split. Hashirama and Madara only have 60? Only have six. You're telling me, you're telling me that Gojo and Ghetto is 50 times more popular than Hashirama and Madara? The two gayest characters ever written outside of Naruto and Sasuke? Naruto and Sasuke are considered the founding fathers of Yaoi, and Hashirama and Madara were their prototype. You being shocked that Gojo and Ghetto are infinitely more popular than Hashirama and Madara just exposes your age, old man. There is no way. There is no way. I'm looking at AO3. This website is from 1998. This website was made two years. This website was made before you were born. Up next, we got, are these characters the same age? Who does AO3 think the top is in this relationship? Hanji or Levi Ackerman? I don't know if they're the same age. They're absolutely both adults though. Are they? I didn't know Levi was an adult. Levi's absolutely an adult. Levi's several years older than the main crew. Levi is, Levi's like 30. Oh, he's 34. He's 40. Yes, 34. I can't believe this series, what? Yeah, yeah, Levi's old. What do you mean? He's like four feet tall. I guess he stopped growing. First off, if there's one podcast I can't look at the five, four men and go, that's a child, it's us, Dan. Denny, we are the podcast universally known for the saying you're shorter than I thought you'd be in person. That's fair, he's five, three. Wow, I can't believe he's 44 years old. He's a tiny little guy, but he's been in the Scouts Regiment for like 20 years. Wow, okay, who do you think tops? They're gonna say, Hanji. Not even close. Yeah, right? Yeah, Hanji, it's Hanji, not even, everyone, one, he's little. Two, he wants to get, he's the quiet one. And what have we seen? The quiet one always ends up being the bottom for AO3. And Hanji just gives off that fiery, smoldering kind of, you know, like a big energetic fire on fire, burnt up body kind of energy, you know? Boisterous. Yeah, sure, that. It is, yeah, Hanji with 30 votes and Levi Ackerman with 27. This is not even a ship that I thought, that is a ship I did not know existed. I'm the exact same way. Now for a ship only we know exist. Who does AO3, who does AO3 think is the top in this relationship? Kazuki from Buddy Daddies and Ray from Buddy Daddies. Is the segment? Listen, I don't like the Buddy Daddy slender. I do not like the Buddy Daddy slender from you at all. This is still one of my favorite anime of all time. If you haven't watched it, if this somehow makes it onto a short form platforms, if you haven't watched Buddy Daddies, go watch it. 12 episodes, it's gonna heal you internally. It's a better version of Spy Family. If you ask me, I think we all know it's, this is another quiet, loud situation here. It's definitely Ray. In this case, it's Ray, but the answer that we will be given is Kazuki. You think Ray is the top? It's 100%. I feel like Ray is also the top here. I feel like that's gotta be the right answer. I don't think it is gonna be Kazuki. People are saying that it's not about the quietness, it's about the meanness. The mean ones get bottomed. Yeah. Ray's meaner. Ray is 100% meaner. 100%, I mean, they're both sweet. Yeah. Okay, it's gonna be, yep, Kazuki's top with 74 votes. Ray's bottom with 63. Okay, well first off, here you are, here you are dying on this hill. You're dying on this hill that nobody likes Buddy Daddies, and yet this ship has more tags than fucking Kakashi and Might Guy. Yeah, it's got more than Levi and Hanj, more than the other ones. Oh, and we're done, that's it. Those were all of them. That's it, which means we can get to the part of this podcast where we talk about anime. Yes. Yes. Well, thank you guys so much for checking in. Fortunately, this week's episode, we're gonna be skipping now, I'm kidding. So what is our bottom episode of the week? Oh, are we doing, let's do a show and then super chats? Oh, we should do super chats first, actually. Because Stank has been feeding us those. I've been getting a bunch of Discord notifications here. So for those of you watching the live show right now, if you send to super chat, we are not ignoring you. We can't see the super chats because of the platform that we use. And so we have our lovely editor and Discord moderator, Stank, send those into our group chat, hope we're on Discord so we can read them right now. So we are coming into our favorite part of our live show here, super chat, quarter. Blastboy asks, what anime do you think needs the boys' style parody? The boys' style parody? Is the boys' even parody anymore? You know, like. The boys is in such a weird spot right now. And I'm a big, big boys fan. I understand, I can identify the fact that season four and season five aren't their best ever seasons. And like it's starting to feel too on the nose, but I feel like that's less their fault and more like, I mean, they wrote this shit a year, a year and a half ago. We all know how long it takes to make productions of this size and quality like the boys does. Like it's not the boys' showrunner's fault that Homelander is like, oh, I'm God. And then Donald Trump, AI generates himself as Jesus. He's like, they're doing interviews and they're like, fucking, we didn't know this was gonna happen. We just thought it'd be silly if it did. And like reality is stranger than fiction. I mean, that's fair. I mean more, I haven't watched the latest season, but like the boys, I remember like two or three years ago at San Diego Comic Con, the boys did a funny like parody of Marvel's like rollout of all their upcoming movies and shows and they're like, here's the next 10 years of the boys' content. Enter the deep, getting deeper into the abyss. You know, it was like each year we were gonna get like three spin-off shows and everyone laughed cause Marvel sucks and isn't that so funny. And then last year I went to San Diego Comic Con and they did that unironically. Like they were like, here's the next five years of actual for real the boys' spin-off content. And so I'm like, when they're like, oh, what animation get of the boys' style parody? It's like, what does that even mean? The boys is just the thing it's, it used to make fun of. So you're saying that like it's literally become like the snake that eats itself. It's like, ha, isn't it funny? How like, how money? Yes, the Ouroboros. I was literally trying to remember it. I knew you would do that because you literally said it last week and I congratulated you for it. I would say though, if we're looking at the boys from like a truly what it used to be, which is like a parody standpoint here, I feel like the answer a lot of people are gonna say is like Pokemon. Like a like a Powell world-esque. Like Powell world is essentially Pokemon's parody, right? Where it's like, oh, look at all of our buddies. Well, like now they're working in factories and that one's got an AK. And like that is like Powell world is fun, you know? And like I think like the, like doing like a dark and gritty like, hey, listen, you've only ever seen like the journey of one 10 year old. Here's what happens behind the scene. And it's like Brock smoking a cigarette, waiting for Ash being like, I don't know, this fucking kid's too much kind of thing. That's so interesting. I think that's a good pick. I think the best anime parody would be one like the boys where it's like all unique original characters, but it's like a mashup of the big three, like the original big three. Like it's some, you have, Soul Eater is like almost doing this, where you have a ninja character, you have a pirate character, and then you have like a teen in regular modern high school. And that's Ichigo. Yeah. And they all somehow have to get along and do whatever. And it's clearly a parody of like all of Shonen and all of their tropes, but you have like the Luffy stand in, the Naruto stand in and the Ichigo stand in. And then maybe they're meant to always Goku, you know? Yeah, I mean, so you're just explaining Toriko. That's, I mean, you're literally, that's it. Yeah. Well, there we go. There's the answer. Toriko, it already exists. Yeah, Toriko is our big three, our big three parody anime to begin with, even though it's usually just them eating something. Isn't that Gintama? Al- What'd you say? Gintama is also very like, like, like paradoxical. I'm not paradoxical, that would be like a paradox. But it's like very, it's like very much a parody, but there's also like Psyche K. Like there's a lot of like any comedy anime is gonna have its like parody moments. Yeah. I mean, here's an image of Gintama just straight up dressed like Luffy. I have no fucking idea what Gintama is like or about. This and Golden Kamui are the two anime. I'm sick of everyone telling me or like 10 out of 10 peak things. And every time I look into it, it's something like fucking insane. Yeah. Gintama, Golden Kamui and Gintama both fall into that same categorization where everyone's like, it's a bunch of people that are like, oh, this is awesome, but it's also 500 episodes long and you have to get through 200 bad ones. Cause like Gintama, just like Naruto or any of the big three is plagued with filler. Yeah. All right. Alex Clark sends $10. Poo, poo, poo, poo, poo, poo, poo. Danny, tell him how I called your challenge, Mr. No One Will Ever Be More Prepared To Rip Than Me. I don't know. I wish I could. Danny, tell him how I called your challenge, Mr. No One Will Ever Be More Prepared To Rip Than Me. This must be a DM, like in reference to a DM. And unfortunately I respond to maybe like 30 DMs a day from viewers. So I forget a lot of like the background jokes or the running jokes that end up one sided. I think it was when I wore the necklace and then I'm assuming this guy like one-upped me with some other type of like Beyblade memorabilia or was it like we were doing Beyblade shit in person and he was like, he kicked my ass at the tournament. I don't know. I wish I remembered, but I don't. Such as life, these things happen. Moo Moo Maniac sends $10. Bwam, bwam bwam bwam bwam bwam bwam bwam bwam bwam bwam bwam. And he asks, instead of mouthing air horns, can we make the frog type beat the official Super Chat Corner intro? And so that I say yes, which is why I did it. Moo Shempai says, what would your drag name be? That's a good question. Uh. I feel like mine's rather obvious. It's like Hammer Time or something like that or like, like, I, what, I'm sorry. What, what do you want from me? I don't know. I'm thinking of everyone I know from Dragula. There's like Destiny Dicks. There's Asia Consent. There's- Wild. They're all kind of like that. There's a, one is just Pi, just PI, like the math. Oh, okay. That's not as clever. She's a circle. Uh. Pi, is Pi a circle? No, Pi's endless. Pi is this, Pi is the mathematical number of how many times the diameter of a circle can go around its circumference. Oh, I see. Yes. Danny. Dom, Dom. You'd be like Mata Memories. Oh, Mamary Mata's. Oh, Mamary Mata or Mata Memories. That's pretty good. Yours would be like Hardly Knower. And it's, it's a meta play on Hammer. You know? What about like, what about like, Cox Connor, Connor Cox. Cox Cor. I might, I might- Nice, nice, nice, Nice cock Hammer. Nice cock Hammer. I mean, I move, this is, I got, I, I was so much, Mike was so much better for you. You've under, you've underserved me. That's tough. It's not something I think of. Ms. Pinkley asked, I'm going to see FreeRyn in orchestra on Thursday. I guess that's not really an ask, it's more of a tell. That's awesome. FreeRyn seems like a fantastic anime or just IP to see in orchestra. Yeah, I agree. Danny, I'm gonna need a, I'm gonna need a frog type beat from you on this one here. Cameron Spencer sends $20. Woohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohoho a bunch of miscellaneous bullshit. It's an insane video to be two hours long, but I should do it. Okay, I was thinking that'd be better. Black Butler, yeah, I gotta get around to it. Literally all anime reactions have been getting sniped by copyright for me. Like every day I wake up to an email that's like, oh, this Full Metal Alchemist video got taken down. And so I've been- That's crazy. All of them. That's why I've been reacting to- You're talking to licensors. Yeah, I guess. That's why I've been uploading witch hat reactions on Patreon, and I might continue to do that like after witch hat, where I'm like doing a monthly reaction to something like Oran High School Host Club or Apothecary Diaries, and then like a weekly reaction to a different thing. But yeah, it's tough because I don't wanna take something that was free and then pay wall the following seasons with Black Butler, like putting that on Patreon, but also like, if I'm gonna react to like two extra seasons of Black Butler, I need to be able to like monetize it. So we'll see how I figure it out. Cool, we're gonna do two more, and then we'll save the rest of these for a little bit later on the show here. Love, eternally says, can you draft a team of four shown in ProTags? That would be the best Vegas squad to take a trip with. Zorro, because you always need that one guy who gets lost and then comes back with a really funny story. He also loves to drink. Give me Sanji because that way we wouldn't have to worry about like cooking up really expensive food. Like he'd probably just run to the grocery store. You have a private chef all weekend. That's an unreal play for Vegas. Obviously there's a lot of great restaurants, but they're all super, super, super expensive. And if you have like a pro chef with you, that's just as good as it gets. Then you want like a loud verbal guy, like a very boisterous, confident dude who's gonna get you a table. He's gonna like finesse some things. But you also, I mean, I guess, well, I guess they wanted shown in ProTags. I'm not doing show in ProTags, but you want a boisterous guy. You want somebody who's gonna get you where you need to go. So a good talker. Give me a little loose because the chaos is getting us anywhere we need to go. He's just in his eye. We're getting into clubs. We're getting bottles, comps, we're getting the whole thing. He's kind of a bummer, but he's that guy you need because like, you know, everyone loves him and he can get you some good stuff. And then I feel like, I feel like, because I did three boys, I should do a fourth boy. Cause like you throw one girl in the mix there and it's just gonna be chaos, especially with Sanji there. You just don't want that. You just don't want, after the incident, you don't want that. Give me a good all around her. A good like glue guy. Give me like a Kirishima. Kirishima is like the ultimate glue guy. Yeah. Yeah, that's fair. All bad picks. I'm gonna go with Yu-Gi from Yu-Gi-Oh. Stellar at card games. Knows exactly what the fuck to do. He literally, they'll just be like, I'm being like, I would love to watch Yu-Gi with a 20 on Blackjack and just be like, the dealer's showing 21. He's like, the heart of the cards, ace flips. And everyone's just like, he's cheating. I know he's cheating. That'd be awesome. I'm exclusively bringing people to Clean House. I'm bringing Yu-Gi. I'm bringing Ash Ketchum. It's a different type of game. Maybe there's some like Backstreet, like illegal like cock fighting or something. Ash, Ash is my man on that. Yeah, 100%. Ash is my man on that. Give me like a fucking, I mean, I really hit home. I can't believe I didn't say, somebody with a Biakugan, somebody with a Biakugan, you're seeing through cards. I'll take Neji. Like you see no Royale. Yeah, give me Neji. Yeah, Neji, he not up. Get him. And then who's a final, I was gonna say like, as someone from Bakugan, just any other game playing anime, cause I can just alert the girl from Kakeguri. That's my team. That's a, that's a, that is a vibe grenade though. You realize like, that is, listen, I built a team for fun. You are going to have an absolute, Kakeguri girl is just gonna be like trying to like strangle. She's gonna be grabbing Yu-Gi by like his fucking collar and being like, you're gonna go win me all money in Blackjack. It is a weird energy on your trip. Brother, I'm not even touching the casino floor. I'm staying in the hotel and I say, go, bring me money. And they all leave, they all do their individual games and they come back to Papa and I get their earnings somehow. Maybe I've got their families on gunpoint or something. I don't know. Yeah, Ash comes back covered in blood. He's like, I thought their chickens would be stronger. Blaziken went way too hard. Oh God, he decimated the whole ring. It might be a net win for society, but there's dead people everywhere. I know Blaziken's just over a real chicken. Like, I thought you were stronger. Just fucked up, yeah. Why they bet on you? I'm six feet tall. Ash comes into the hotel room and he's like, hey, sorry I'm early and I'm a little short with my earnings, but Blaziken's real fucked up about what we had to do. I'm just gonna take him home. He's just like out of the Poke Bowl, like thousand yard stare, like hands kind of shaking. And I'm like, you do it. He won't go back in the bowl. I think he's just, he needs to be surrounded by people he loves. I'm like, yeah, everything good, of course. And he's just like, Blaziken. I'm like, what was I saying? He's like, I just need some time alone. I don't, is there a Clefairy nearby or something? I just need to talk to somebody who understands. He's like, no, no, no. All right, last one up here. IceDrain says, Patreon wants to know if you boys would do the watermelon smashing challenge to raise awareness and funds for women's health and stroke foundation. I don't know what it is. People, a bunch of men are smashing watermelon between their thighs. How, you know, we- I only- It'll take me hours. I tell you, we'll do a whole two hour of like, Patreon episode of Danny's just being like, ugh, ugh. It says creators' influence with smashing a watermelon between their thighs to raise awareness and funds for the American Heart Association. I guess it raises, these are always silly to me because I'm like, I feel like the association would rather you just donate five bucks. Like, these associations need money, not videos of you squishing watermelon. And then people are like, wow, that was fun. By the way, what was that charity? Nah, I don't remember, but that video's sick. Ah, whatever. Well, what you do is you go, I'm donating $100 or something, and then you call out other content creators that you know, and you're like, you have to do the watermelon thing and you have to call out people. And it's supposed to be like, passed along. I think we should do it. All right, I'm down. I'll drive out to you with two watermelons. Should we do one of those inedible, like Japanese cube watermelon? Oh yeah, it's just like a Minecraft, like a tungsten cube. Yeah, it's like slicing into our thighs. We're like, ow, please, we need to raise money. I didn't know a pyramid was the most structurally sound object. I just not had to be covering that video. Don't send that money to the... The whole inside of my legs are gonna be black because I'm gonna have to like slap at it, like a fucking bird trying to... We'll do like the karate thing where we do some pre-cuts. We'll get like a little, like, we'll pre-cut the board a little bit. They'll know, that's cheating. We'll see. We'll see, can I do... What if we do it like between our cheeks? Is the gap in your ass so large you can fit a watermelon in there? Here's what I'm thinking. Your Miles Morales. Me, I'm Miles Morales. I'm Miles Morales, okay, cool. Oh, huge. We have a... I can't do it tall Miles, he fucking breaks. Your Miles Morales. I'm Miles Morales. Okay. Well, I'm evil, wait, no, I'm evil Miles Morales now. Fine, you could be cool, hip sweatshirt Miles Morales. We get a watermelon right between us here. You know what I mean? And then we squish it. Uh-huh. But like, how do you get... How do you get power? How do you get power with that? That's my question for you, because like, you're like this, right? Like, you can't really press out that way. We're not, listen, because like, in the center here, there's a lot of power. Oh, so we hold hands and we... If you hold hands and pull. Like if we pull each other... No, that's a really good idea, Danny. We'll call out other podcasts. Yeah. Yeah, that's that question answered. Next, what was the worst show of the day? What was he? One hour in here, what was the worst show of the day? And why was it, I think, Wastoria, baby? I think it was Damon's. Damon's was pretty, like, what even fucking happened this episode? It's, I mean, I have like two sentences for both of these episodes and I watched them literally three hours ago. Yeah, I mean, so we can go with Damon's because like, Wastoria's episode is fun, everyone looks good. You get a really cute moment from Elphi. I love Elphi as a character, so I, yeah, we can go with Damon's here. This episode is a big old, it's a big old, like, we're doing lore unpacking. We're like establishing the factions here, where it's like, oh, Higashi Village versus the Kagemori, and the guy with like the little like silver fox hair thing is coming to collect Yoru and he's in the Kagemori household. And that's, I mean, that's kind of all that happens. We kind of just get like a rundown on how the break and seal techniques work. We learn about Asa dying. Yeah, so Asa had to die in order to unlock break. And it's kind of like the truth a little bit. Like you die and you, yeah. I literally wrote this, this man got called loves a character meeting God and losing in a body part. Yeah, literally. Like it's like you gain knowledge, you meet God, you lose a body part. And they're like, that's the best idea anybody's ever had, let's do it twice. Yeah, so she meets break. I went like, this episode had me wishing that this manga was written by the dude who makes Chainsaw Man. Because not that this is- Fujimoto. Yeah, Fujimoto. Cause not that this isn't good, but none of the character designs are like, I like left and right, those are pretty good. And I like- Yeah. Yin and Yang, those were also sick or darkness and light. But like, I don't know, when we met break and it was, don't you fucking start playing Digimon Racers while I'm talking? What are you doing? I'm sorry, go on. Oh, so you can have bits, but I can't play Digimon Racing on my Game Boy Advance SP? Fine, fine. Anyway. Keep going. You fucking, but yeah, when I saw break and there's no real like, I don't know- You can get up in the ass crack of the female Racers. I'm hiding behind the female ones. I'm the big hot Digimon. You see the, nevermind. We'll talk about it in a second. Continue, I'm sorry. Okay. But yeah, there's like break, you look at break and there's nothing that visually tells you what she is, what she does. There's not even really like a big visual appeal. Fujimoto, you meet the bomb devil and you're like, I get it. I instantly get it. I wanna learn more. I think because Fujimoto's not trying to build like a complicated, like Fujimoto's writing style is very non-typically shonen. Like that's like, it's like very non-typically shonen in the fact that it's like, he's not trying to build some convoluted complicated power system. Like he's like, oh, devils belong to whatever they're named after kind of thing. And that's like the entire idea is like, oh, it's simple so I can focus on like character building. And this is very much a universe kind of like where FMA be like is exist in a big complicated universe. And because of that, like it needs power systems, it needs gods, it needs like, we need to be able to tie back all of these things to an existing universe. And so like, she goes to purgatory slash hell and she's meeting essentially like the steward of souls kind of thing and like handing over eyeball thing. And like that's the whole idea. Don't respond. If you don't do a bit that's gonna cause you to not listen to what I said. And then flounder through a response that's completely unrelated. What are you talking? You're saying you wish that Fujimoto was the, Fujimoto wrote this because like you're saying like, oh, the character design is like, oh, you were talking about character design. Yeah, like what did any of what you said have to do with the other? I'm sorry, bits are difficult. That's why I reserve them for you. That's what I'm saying. Don't is what I'm saying. Ring ring hello. 2003 is calling. That's bad. What happened? What happened? What happened? I don't know. I don't know. It's not a phone. You idiot. Like a really specific tragedy in 2003. It's like, I don't remember what it was. I have no idea. They killed her. Wait, so why do you, all right. Yeah. Why do you want the character design from Fujimoto? Like what's like, what's non-descript about these characters? They're boring. Other than left and right and light and dark, like break is so visually boring. There's nothing about her that like, you're like, oh, I get it. That's the break demon. Or like, I want to learn more about this person just on the design. You will get literally any devil in chainsaw man. And you're like, I get their bit. And if I don't, once I learn it, it's awesome. Like the falling devil looks so fucking cool. Why do you know what the falling devil looks like? Because I have Instagram. That's so fair. The falling devil's entire, like she doesn't look like falling, but like at the end of the day, like you learn later on, like her role in the story, like she starts to make more sense from like a design perspective. And like once you see the aging devil, that's truly, that will be your peak. Like when you see the aging devil, you'll be like, oh, I don't think anybody's doing better character designs than Fujimoto right now. That's what I mean. I just wish I'm excited for new daemons conceptually, but I wish I could be like, oh shit, like what's Seal gonna look like? I don't care. You know, it's gonna be like the dude version of break probably. Yeah. And like, well, that's even if they are daemons, like was it established that they are daemons or that like break and seal are just like, they're just abilities that are tied to the twins of Higashi Village after they die. Well, break is a woman. Brother. What? Where are you this discussion? No, I'm sorry. When did we see break in this episode? Break takes her eye. The one with the one with like the face mask. Yeah, that's break. No, she's, that's like the steward, that's like the steward of purgatory. I thought break. I think that's break. Don't sit here and judge me. Be like, where are you when none of this is confirmed? You're hypothesizing. Also called them daemons. Also called the woman that she talked to in purgatory daemon. Yeah, and then the woman at one point goes, I'm sad there was no talking to women devil. That's great. That's cold. That is great. She was like, where is sealed? And then break was like probably talking to your brother. Yeah. Wow, I don't remember that at all. Yeah, Nick, she's break, Chad is saying. Oh, crazy. Nick, were you distracted? I guess maybe. I've been doing a lot of things this morning. The reason I'm like, where are you? Is because when I was going off on break looks boring. Like who did you think I meant? I thought you were just saying like, oh, the character designs are just nonintuitive. I, this is why I don't do bits. I never do it a bit again. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I've never do it a bit. I've never do it a God damn. I actually like break's design. It doesn't necessarily lend to the idea of breaking though. That's the thing. Like I, she kind of just looks like, and like, I guess it kind of like plays the whole deal of like her being in purgatory and being a steward. But like she kind of looks like a, like a nun or a monk. Like, like, like the face covered monks, you know? Yeah. But you're right. That doesn't have anything to do with like breaking. Look at Venom from Guilty Gear. Venom from Guilty Gear? Actually, she kind of looks like a brim hat also from Witch Hat. She does. So that's what it is. I like, for some reason it felt, okay, I can see where you got Venom for sure. She, that's probably why it felt so like familiar because like this whole, and then like also like with the evangelist and all of the white clads in like Fire Force recently, that is like a, like the whole covering of Face of Things has been a very recent trend in anime, which I think ties back to like, I believe, like either Taoists or Buddhists, like monks. That's like a traditional thing that they might do. But yeah, no, I mean, it was a, it was a, it was an okay episode that I think is like, they're just trying to build out lore. I do like the idea that like Yoru, if he dies, like I like the idea like that's brought up as like, oh, if you know you can die and come back once, you're gonna be incredibly like, incredibly reckless with your life. But like also there's no guarantee you'll come back to life. I like that a lot. Yeah, I like that too. I feel like Brake is so much cooler than Seal. Like he's gonna get such a lame, I guess he'll heal maybe. But like we don't even know, like I think they said specifically that like, when they were like, oh, Austin isn't coming back to life. They're like, it's like, okay, with Seal we'll be able to control the entirety of the underworld or something like that. I see, yeah. Yeah, so like I think the problem that like, I think the problem is right now is like, honestly to me, Brake feels less interesting because like I feel like you can do less with the idea of breaking. Like obviously we saw Austin break that contract with that Daemon and then immediately contract to herself, which was sick. And it was like a really cool extension of the technique and the idea of breaking. I think once we get into Seal, which is probably gonna be a later game thing, it'll probably be like revealed to be ridiculously broken. I mean, it is tied to the main character. They're like. Yeah, that's fair. Feeling is a good anticipation I'd say. Yeah. Cool. All right, should we move on to Wistoria? Sure. I didn't think this was too bad of an episode. How'd you feel about it? I didn't think this was too bad of an episode. I mean, they don't graduate. I don't think Daemon's episode was that bad. I don't think this was like, nothing was like particularly bad this week. I thought Daemon's was pretty boring. I mean, we got the lore, but like in a already slow show, I'm like waiting for it to like really kick into gear. I guess, I feel like last episode, we got a big action episode. Last week was like all like, hey, a bunch of Daemon's are infiltrating. And like after a big action episode, there's gotta be like some kind of cleanup. I wish we didn't spend so much time being like, oh, hey, the modern Japan is crazy. And I feel like that kind of has shot the show in the foot to have it's slower episodes down the line here. But I also like this episode of Wistoria. Like I love everyone getting their outfits. I love Will getting what appears to be an end game weapon. Yeah, this is episode 18 in total. And so six of, you know, the season. Yeah, everyone gets cool like graduation outfits. It kind of feels like Wistoria, Shippuden, like everyone's in the next year, which happened way quicker than like I ever would have expected. Yes. And then- Like having a time skip 17 episodes in is crazy. We're like done with the prologue now. We've moved into the tower. Everyone's wearing their like dope white outfits. And like, mind you, there's an entire city inside the tower. And it's like, okay, cool. So like the city built for magicians, the people that are meant to protect everyone down there was the thing untouched by this destruction. Yeah, did you notice they were like, whoa, a colorless sky? Y'all never seen blue before? Like- I clearly not. I mean, they literally live in a dome made out of magic and that's the problem. I know, and that's fair, but like it was blue, you know? Like the sky was blue. Yeah. It was a big week for like things not being, like not having color. Cause like, which hat was also like all about like the world being silver. Yeah, that's interesting. We'll get into that. Fucking, yeah, Will has to once again, like prove himself to get his colors. Do you think he's going to get like a rainbow one or something or like lose how lose gets like a multicolor kind of thing? I hadn't even, Danny, I hadn't even considered that. Oh my God. That's exactly what's going to happen. Will, it gets old. Oh my God. I hadn't even, I was like, cause like I'm asking myself, I'm saying there, like the obvious MVP of this episode is Elphi. Her tantrum is adorable. I love, she's got a bunch of whale plushies. I love the whole thing where she's like writing to everybody about like, she's like actively trying to get like whale into the ice faction. And that's probably where he's going to end up cause we see him using ice in his sword in this battle against like the mech of the week here. But I was like asking myself watching this episode, I was like, where are you going to send fucking supersonic and the fucking end bringer sword here? Like what faction, what magical faction does Will's sorting hat into? And the idea of like, yeah, he gets, cause like, all right. You know what I think is actually going to happen? I love it. They introduced an entirely new faction of magic in this episode. Did you clock that? No, un-un-unclock it for me. List the factions, go ahead and list the factions of magic that you know of. Darkness, fire, ice, Elph, earth. That's, those are the ones I know. Okay, so you, you just said darkness. Has darkness always been around? I don't, well yeah, Snape is darkness. He makes dark snakes. God, okay, because all right, in the way that like, in the way of the framing of this entire like season, it's been like so revolved around like the magic of Ander. And it's like, so it's ice, fire, wind, lightning and earth, right? So like the five like elemental magics kind of thing. They pointed out darkness and like breeze right past it. I think Will's going to get darkness. That'd be pretty cool. I mean, again, darkness has been established since like episode one. I do think it's funny to call darkness an element. Yes. But yeah. But it's all right, by that extension, that being said, if darkness is a magic, that probably means that light is also a magic and like, considering the fact that Will turned into light itself and saved the entire like city, there's also a possibility he gets like the light magic or something. That's what I think. I think Finn, I think it's his name. The dude who like gave him his ultimate form or whatever. I think he is going to like make, I don't know, take him under his wing or be like, oh, he has his own thing. He's doing whatever. He's in the school of courage. Yeah. Yeah. He's in the school of one spell, one spell and it's screaming out your name real loud. Yeah. They like give him like a shack, like a broken down shack and a swamp in the back of the school. Yeah. I also, I mean, I find it very funny and I guess it's kind of explained over the course of the episode that like, you know, everybody in like the tower is still kind of wary on us, whether or not like Will should get the opportunity to climb it. If there's one person who's proven themselves, there's one person who's proven themselves. It's the guy who stopped the apocalypse single-handedly. Like, hey, remember that guy who killed the thing that's apparently killed previous generations of Magia Vander? I think he gets a color. True, it is crazy that there's still debate as to whether or not Will gets to graduate. Like, yeah. He's seen that. I don't know. I don't know. Maybe, maybe I don't know. Maybe that God that we like, like tied to the idea of the queen mage who we all prayed to all the time. Maybe, maybe he gets a color. I don't know. Yeah. Like Colette, Colette for the, for the high, high price of three, the three earth spells she done scouted. Scouted immediately. I do love though that Elfie is not scouting the ice dude because he was mean to Will. Well, once again, Elfie MVP of this episode. Yeah, Elfie's very fun. I like that he's like, she had to have noticed that. And she's like, hmm. Like, I like that. That was very fun. Yeah, she's just not even looking at him. Yeah. Will saved all their asses. How dare you think he's not worthy? Yeah, exactly. It's like, what are we, what are we doing? What are we doing here? Should we talk about marriage toxin? Sure. Yeah. These are okay. Hold up. Okay. So I was going to say, do you think these are better or worse than Wastorius? Or yeah, Wastorius. No, which had to tell you these episodes. Did you watch Devil May Cry? No, I didn't. Did you? I know it. Yeah, I did. We got to talk about it. You watched all of it? No, I watched episode one. Okay, gotcha. But did they drop all eight episodes? Yeah. I will absolutely watch that this week. I mean, I'll watch both episodes. I don't give a who. Everyone has been asking about DMC though. Is it fun? It's like the same thing as season one. Like everything people didn't like and everything people like are still here. Like they changed to truly nothing. Dante's not in it. Like he's not in the first episode at all. And so if you go over- Is it about Virgil? It's about Virgil and Lady. And so if you were one of those people who was like, why is this the Lady show? It still is. So you're not gonna change your mind about that. Absolutely massive. I like the fact that it was the Lady show. There are some actually insane like musical drops in this episode that like I won't spoil because they're so insane. Everyone keeps saying that the OP and the EP are really good. Is it more limp biscuit? It's not. There's one song specifically that like I had subtitles on and it's spoiled that the song was coming. And it goes like blah, blah, blah, starts playing and I'm like, surely they don't mean by the band I'm thinking. And then it plays and it's crazy. Is it all still like new metal? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, lots. If they get a Linkin Park song, I'm gonna freak out. That would go so hard. I mean, they were doing Evanescence and Limp Biscuit last season. So I could see a Linkin Park song coming up at some point here. But yeah, no, Marys Toxin is definitely not better than Witch Hat these last two weeks. Yeah, I mean, Witch Hat has been very, very good, very consistently here. The first two episodes of Marys Toxin probably couldn't have been more different. I like it. Like episode six, I believe in episode seven where both, I actually really enjoyed both of these episodes. I mean, like I said, they're not Witch Hat at the LA level, but like both these episodes are objectively very good. Like episode six focuses around the battle against the sound master. We get like some real life magic happening from the girlfriend of the week here. And then episode seven is the bug master's wedding, which is like weirdly sweet for the characters we're describing here. We get like some pretty awesome lore drops as well. Do you wanna start with episode six here? Sure, yeah. I mean, in Marys Toxin fashion, this has such a good bit. Marys Toxin's always running great bits. I love how this opens with the sound guy. He has his violin and he's like, yeah, he's like Garu or whatever. He's like, he's about to activate his abilities. What's he gonna do? And he's about to pluck it. And then he just throws the violin at him. And just gets stuck in the tree behind him. And he's like, you made a violin as a projectile weapon. Why? As it extracts a great bit. It's awesome. It's really funny. Other than that, oh, there's a bit where some helicopters come in and the girlfriend's dad is like doing some pull-ups on them. Yeah, the uncle, the uncle is like tied to the helicopter doing chin-ups. Dude, you wait, hold up. We're blowing past a lot of good stuff here. Episode, the fight. In the bits, that's all. Okay, gotcha, okay. Go on. Well, no, I was just gonna say, well, did you catch that the company is called Ballzac? Yeah, well, that's a real company, right? Cause I was also like, yeah, Ballzac is real. Let me see. Is it? Yeah, wait, what is it? Wait, no, Ballzac, like, Honoré de Ballzac is apparently a French novelist in Playwright. Maybe that's who I'm thinking of. Honoré de Ballzac, yeah, okay. You're thinking about the French Playwright, Honoré de Ballzac? Yeah, I think that's who I'm thinking of. Cause I was like, I've heard this before and this was funny to me. Yeah, I thought it was crazy that the company was called Ballzac. But I was like... Oh, that's another great bit. Yeah, that is a good bit. Gun foot is a pretty good bit. Did you see that guy who has a gun for a foot? Yeah, have you ever seen, have you ever seen, oh shit, what is it? It's not a Quentin Tarantino movie. Oh yeah, Planet Terror. Yeah, yeah, she's got a gun for a whole leg. I was like, is this a Planet Terror reference? That movie is insane. I think that's like Rodriguez is the last name, but Quentin Tarantino, one is a producer on it and two plays and this is his actual credit title, Rapist number one in it. Yep, yep. That's right. Yeah, Planet Terror, that's early. That's Grindhouse Quentin Tarantino. The early 2000s was a wild time for him. But yeah, so he fights the sound guy and we find out that the sound guy has to be in like peak physical condition at all times to use his ability. I love that he, in a not dumb way, is like Anosuke where he has like perfect control over every single muscle of his body. Okay. It's dumb when Anosuke does it, but it's cool how this guy does it. I do like that, like so at the end of the episode that we see we go, he's going to, like he's going to a Hot Springs and we see him in his like death stranding, like backpack standing on top of the Hot Springs and it kind of makes sense now that he had like a fucking massage chair on him. Like this guy needs to live the most relaxed lifestyle of all time to make a fucking kaiju. Yeah, do you like fucking Garu throw in the water, solyvins or whatever, like down his throat? Dude, that fight sequence was gorgeous. Like literally gorgeous. Like him, there's a sequence where like, yeah, like he's like drinking in like the phytoscience or something like that. It's like some like regenerative thing that trees make and it's actually poison because of course it is. It's green, you idiot. You got the poison master and you go to the green thing. That's the color of poison. And like there's a sequence where he's like about to try and like you see him inhale and he like flexes his body. And like you see his like abs ripple as he's about to push out the poison. And yeah, out of nowhere, water soluble solvent comes back in here, shoves it all back in. It looked like JJK. Like it was like beautifully like, like it was like like a sketchily like the outlines or like a sketchy thick black line. It was awesome. Yeah, it was very cool. I couldn't get over just this poor man trying to, well that's what he's talking about. He has like perfect control of his body and he was like, I'll just throw this up and you see his like muscles tense and then he's just fucking stuff sit back into him. I'm like, man, this, this, I don't know. Like he's a bad guy, but I don't know if anyone deserves this. No, no one deserves the poison shoved back down their throat. The rest of this episode is actually like, honestly, I think what's separating this episode from like a standard romance anime is like kind of how this episode wraps up in that like there's a big focus on our love interest, on our love interest, like in this character dressing up as like a real life witch, just like doing fire magic and everything. And like heartbreaking everybody out of psychosis. And what I actually really appreciate about this show is that not only is Garo the main character doing growing, but like all of the people he interacts with are also growing and learning from these experiences. So like not only is he getting over his stage fright, but like this girl is getting over like the stage fright. She feels about running a company and like making friends and all of that. And like she's learning from like Garo's marriage advisor, whose name, Ushiko or Ushino or something like that. She's learning from the marriage advisor about like how to speak at like, like it's public speak and like, how to like maintain the attention of a crowd and all of that. And my favorite takeaway from this episode is Garo, like when he sees that this girl like that he's been talking to is like probably too overlaid in with like the idea of taking over this company as CEO. He just removes himself. He's like, listen, look, she has more important things going on than possibly falling in love with me. And I love that like the onus of the continuation of this relationship falls to her. Yeah, no, I agree. So yeah, episode six, I truly felt, I mean, I feel like it is funny because I feel like this is a show that wants you to choose. This is a show that wants you to choose like, oh, hey, like this one girl is your favorite or this one girl is your favorite. Like who's your bias kind of thing? And I would say like, even though like, I feel like both of these characters like we're on a very similar arc of growth. This isn't the girl that I would root for like ending up with Garo at the very end. No, I agree. I like the shark girl. I mean, I think it's all, all roads are leading to his blonde friend, like dating him. Yes. Because the marriage episode kind of touches on that where they're like, please take good care of him. Another fantastic episode filled with bits. Like him just getting, him getting like, who's the guy hellbringer in the beginning? Just getting a bunch of needles to the face and getting rejuvenated. Undead, undeadnessy. They said it in Japanese. Yeah, undeadness. Yeah, undeadnessy land. Yeah, which is Disney world. Yeah, that dude's a weird Bart Simpson looking kids. Yeah. They all have this like huge like Bart Simpson hair. They're all Pon, Pon, Pon, Le Rev. Pon, Pon, JJBF and I'm just gonna be so mad at me. I don't know how to, it's French. Pon, Pon Le Rev, Pon, Pon, I don't remember it. I don't know. I wouldn't have attempted it. Yeah, it's a tough one. They are, booboo, booboo. Yeah, so a bug monster is getting married, which is hilarious. He brought his finest centipede shoes. Thank God, God bless him. His dancing, his dancing centipedes, if you shall. First up, listen, would you date somebody with spider mouth if they also had butterfly wings? Butterfly wings was a crazy poll for sure. You think he only busts that out on his wedding day though? Like. I had imagined that is, if you have butterfly wings, I'm using them all the time. That being said, that being said, if everyone was like, oh wow, he's so creepy. Like, centipede shoes are gross. Spider mouth is disgusting. Butterfly wings on his wedding day. Well, two fingers as he floats up through the air. Yeah, yeah, take this. I'm out of my cocoon, bitches. As he flutters away. Hold on, let me pull this bit off. Like, yeah, he's just. Yeah, fuck y'all. Fuck y'all, I'm married, you're not. Spider mouth is a deal breaker for me, but centipede shoes are awesome. I mean, it's spider mouth, but he wears a mask. For sure, but it's under, the issue is I don't fully know what spider mouth looks like. That's what, I genuinely think it's like the predator. Like, that's why he always wears the mask. He opens it up and it's two spiders, just open it up side to side. My God. Yeah, it's not good. What a nightmare. It is a weirdly touching episode though. Like, getting the backstory of like, oh, hey, Garo's like the most important guy, which I thought was a really cool exposition add to this, because like, of course the poison family is huge in this economy run on assassins. Yeah, that does make a lot of sense. And that it felt very like Japanese in terms of like, yeah, I buy that one of the top heads of these clans is like the poison masters. Yeah. It's unique that it's the protagonist. Like, I feel like usually it wouldn't be, but fucking yeah, dude, we learned about the hierarchy and that scene where he's like his dad, Spider-Mouse's dad is like, yeah, the poison clan only uses people. They use us all as pawns to get whatever they want. And then he's like, please kill my son to spare my life. And that was sick. That was a great, like really. I do love that we're getting like little looks into the past through the characters that we're meeting and like we're learning about Garros upcoming and all that and like how brutal it was. And now we didn't really want to like do any of this, which I feel like is like, it gives more credence to the idea that he will end up with like Orishina or something like that, whatever the blonde girl's name. Because like, it's like, oh, like he's shirking his responsibility. Like the whole system is kind of fucked. So like he's going to shirk the system by ending up with somebody who he can't make a child with, you know? Drink the piss, shirk the system. Was that in biscuit? No, it's a parody song that's like, suck the dick, drink the piss. Oh, was that that guy? That guy who made all of the parody songs. That was the new metal parody song, Kyle. Kyle Gordon. Yeah, Kyle Gordon, that was his name. Yeah, whatever happened to him. He made, it was very good at like covering a bunch of different genres. He's still doing it. I had a magic. It takes time. But dude. Yeah, oh, gone. Oh, I was going to say, did you like roulette? Did you like roulette explosive ankles? Love that guy. That guy's awesome. Dude, the second he gets explosive arms, instantly unloads them on to random goo. I love gambling when it comes to just blowing myself up five times. Yeah, he's like just a torso and a head. And he's like, pissed. This guy is saving his life. It's so funny. What's so funny is like, I thought when they're describing it, he was like, oh, like you could like, you can blow yourself up. Like you like, you can blow yourself up like recs explode from invincible, right? Like you ever get in a corner, like if somebody like corners, you blow yourself up and you'll take them out with you. Nope. The entire, the entire purpose of this was like, if you punch somebody, click your teeth, and maybe the correct arm will blow up. Because it's roulette. It's roulette. There's no guarantee that the right arm or right leg blows up when he punches somebody. Yeah, he's just got lucky. He's a good gambler. It's just completely asinine. Yeah. It kills himself at the end. Yeah. And so, I mean, which is like also like a very sweet moment, like imparting the sky for the, for the insect, like the insect master's marriage. I thought that was really cool. And yeah, everybody come into Kinosaki in the end and being like, listen, like make him very happy. Like there's no way they don't end up together, which I do think is the best possible conclusion. Like I think that, I think that lends to the most interesting possibility. I think they should have made his wife a freak, like an absolute weirdo. Like I think it's funny, but also kind of lame that this like monstrosity of a human is just with like a generic blonde wife. I guess. I wait, so you want Kinosaki to be a freak or you want Garo, or Garo to be a freak? No, I want insect, insect master's wife. Gotcha. To be a weirdo. Like where people are like, oh, I get it. I get how this works. I guess, but like I feel like the entire purpose of the show is to like show that like you can be loved by anybody so long. Like regardless of what you do, like you can like be loved by anybody so long as you give them like your most authentic self. So if he was dating like the bride of Frankenstein, and be like, well, yeah, of course, like this makes sense. But like it's, it's to me kind of like what I thought was so touching about this episode actually was like, oh, how normal his wedding was. Everyone was like, oh, I expected way crazier out of the insect guy. And it's like, well, yeah, of course you would. But like he's allowed to like, insects is his job, you know? Yeah. He's not all insects. I liked bees like carrying her train as she walked up the aisle. Yes. That's good. Or him disarming that guy's tooth with a wasp. And it's like, no idea how that happened. Yeah, that was good. Yeah. Well, it's a fun episode. But should we get to our best episode of the week here? Sure. Sure. So which out of telly episode eight? I think so. And this is a, this is a, this is a fun, very like a lot of exposition is, is dropped this episode. The end of this episode is definitely the best part of this episode, I would say. You're dead wrong. You're dead wrong. Did you forget Ricci swooping in and saving him? Oh, trust me. I remember Ricci doing her best Superman impression to save Coco and Teorita flying in and burning and burning some white bondage, whatever the things are. I literally wrote, because I forgot their names. I forgot Ricci's name. I said, let's go a little blue one. And then I go, a little pink one. I love the girls coming together, helping each other out. That's awesome. I was actually, it's a big Richie episode. Oh yeah, dude, when, because when I saw that the ribbons got cut by something, I was like, here comes key free. And this is going to be like a crazy key free battle. And then it's fucking Richie. I was floored. I was like, I will never in my life again, assume that I can write what you write, Miss Monca. And then also there's this moment where all the girls are standing by each other and they're like, oh, it's children. And Richie's like, I hate when we're children. They talk about us like we're not humans. And I'm like, let's go. She's sophisticated. Richie sounded like she was about to break all of their legs. Yes. Like where she's like, there's one thing I hate. It's being called little. I wanted her to do like, I want her to do like the child Gohan, where instead of grabbing, instead of grabbing Coco, she just flies through the like the Knights morale. It's like straight through the chest. Just see her start doing something insane. Like she starts setting this up and they're like, let's get out of here, fellas. Come on. I don't trust that little Scottish one over there. I'm scared. Yeah, great. Richie step. But no, you're right. The end is definitely like the big what the fuck bit. And it's tense from the second key free shows up because you're like these guys haven't talked since key free assassinated the violinist. Yeah, dude, key free is such an interesting, dude, there was, and this is a very minor thing. And I'm a hundred percent sure it was intentional. But there's this moment where key free is like talking to the guy who runs the ink shop and this guy's like, you know, we have to turn this in like, like, we, you know how crazy it is that this just happened. And like, it's implied what key free does. Like it's implied that key free because like, you, you learned at the end of the episode when the little boy who has like the silver eye disease is talking to his like granddad or something, you learned that like his memory has been wiped because he's like, oh, what do you mean key free was here? It's implied the second like that it cuts away the key free is going to cut his memory. There's this moment where like they do such a good job at like making the background track either quieter or silent whenever key free is about to do some fuck shit. And then there's this moment where after it's implied we cut to cocoa and key free walks up from behind her and he goes, cocoa. And it's like so, it's so light and exuberant and it's like such a good way to like, it explores the dichotomy of this character so well. And I was like, it was almost kind of haunting how much he could turn it on. He was like, hey, I'm so sorry, we got you something expensive. So I bought you a bag and like, she's like, oh, this is cute. And then they just walk away. And it's like, dude, he just wiped the memory of a dude trying to do the correct thing. I couldn't tell if he did that or if he did that and gave him silver eyes. I like couldn't tell what color his eyes were. Oh, you thought, you thought he gave the grandfather silver eyes. Yeah, I thought he was like, this guy, this dude's fucking cooked. We gotta, but I, wiping his memory makes sense. And it's still fucked because key free has in two episodes now been like, it's not just as easy as like, you know, oh, I don't remember what happened yesterday or I don't remember the last hour. It's like to wipe someone's memory, you wipe their whole personality. Like it's a full lobotomy. Yeah, I feel like, man, yeah, cause that's things like they always talk about memory wiping and they're like, oh, Coco, if you have your memories wiped, then you, cause it seems like such a specific like use case of memory wiping. We're like, oh, Coco gets her memories wiped. Not only will she lose all the info she learned about magic and what happened with her mother, but also she'll no longer be interested in magic. And it's like, okay, so like, I feel like they can very much go into a mind and control what they wipe, which is why key free probably just wiped that interaction. I don't know if it's fucked if he just wiped the interaction though, then. Like I think there is, I think something, he did something worse, I can't tell. But I don't know, someone in the comments mentioned something though that I really want to get into. How the fuck does being colorblind prevent you from being a witch? I will, okay, so there's, I mean, I guess it would prevent you from, and that's actually a really good question, because it would prevent you from doing the job that he's doing right now, right? Because like, he was like, oh, where are the positions on the cabinets? I can't see color. So I just like, I remember them by position kind of thing. So like, if your job is to mix ink with specifically colored ingredients, I could see how that would stop you from like doing that job. Everything we've seen is just like, you dip a pen and you draw a circle. Why would that, why would that stop you? I mean, there are different colored inks, which is sick, like they expanded on the lore, even more the power system, even more an already complicated magic system. Yes. Now has different colored inks that do different shit. That can turn things invisible, that can make spells last longer. Like you are adding like modifiers onto what is already a power system so complicated that stank text us a circle this morning and said, somebody made a witch hat atelier spell that will give you brains, like give you brain cancer. And both me and Danny were like, this could be in Chinese. Like we don't know what this means, stank. Yeah, I'm like, is this accurate? Does this work? Like I don't know. It's funny because I saw a video about like, the guy who did that and he made that and he made others. He did one that's brain cancer. He did one that's called like human firework, where you like put it on a person and it like turns their insides and the fireworks and shit. It's so funny because they're so edgy and it's such great proof as to why magic should be hidden from humanity. 100% like this guy is literally proving the point that like, oh, if anybody could draw these and no magical ability whatsoever is like stopping you, it's just how creative are you, this should be hidden. That actually, that is, I did not think about that. Like we got one, we got one spell sent to us by the people who understand it and it gives people brain cancer. People in the comments are saying that it's not necessarily that being color blind prevents you from being a witch, but it may, the witches are ableist. Like they don't fuck with people who have any disabilities at all. Gotcha. Which is kind of, I buy that. Like I mentioned that in my reaction, that'll come out soon, I've been late on it. But I mentioned that in my reaction. It must be more so that because if you're color blind, you can still fuck with the lame inks. You know, like you can't tell like the colorful ones apart. Just do the black ink and that's how it works. And then also, unless someone's fucking with you, you could just get your colored inks labeled, you know? So it has to just be like them being like. I genuinely didn't even think about just like writing like an eye on the bottle for invisible ink. That's the other thing. Yeah, do you have a color blind kid working in your shop label this shit? Yeah. He was like, oh, like it's like, there is, well there was labels on them, right? And then all the labels fell off. Oh, but like sticker it on. You know? That's just loosely throwing them around. Like, because every goddamn bottle fell. Like I was like, these were primed to go. Yeah, exactly. But yeah, people just, yeah, the witches are apparently incredibly ableist, which I guess tracks. Like there's no one, no one outside of like, ol' rugby, give it to me one more time. Ol' Rugeo. Ol' Rugeo and Kieferi seem to be even like remotely chilled dudes. Yeah. And it does make sense because this is a society that is built upon the idea. It's a society built on elitism. Like they're like, literally everyone can do magic. It has nothing to do with mono or like life force, but we decide who gets to know how to do it and who doesn't. So it makes sense that they would become ableist, maybe racist, a bunch ofists, you know? Yeah. Did you clock that Kieferi knows Ol' Rugeo's wine order by heart? Yeah. Did you clock that? He got him two bottles. Yes. He was like, he was like one flushed and one some other thing. And I was like, aw, I was like, oh, he knows. He knows exactly how to get him drunk enough to sleep with him. I know. I said the same thing. And I was like, I was like, that's an awful lot of wine there. You plan on sharing it with anyone? Yeah. Just himself and his liver here. Do you think that everybody in the Japanese version of the show has like ridiculous country accents or something? I have no idea. I wonder that all the time, like if different languages like are doing different accents and we just don't notice because they are just throwing some fucking stank. This is this is the most subtitle needing dub anime I have ever experienced. It's like watching Love Island. Like they're throwing stank on some of these accents here. There's a bit where Teitra. What's her name? Uh, oh, Territa. Yeah. She says something and I don't know what she said, but I swear to God, it was in German. Whatever her accent is, it's fake. And then the son or like the grand, the grandson of the shop owner has like like an attempt at an Irish accent because he hits. He hits the tree on three real goddamn hard. He's like, yeah, you go up the floor tree and it's like, OK, that was the only part where I was like, oh, that's an identifiably Irish accent. Yeah, I know all the accents are so fun. Some of them land harder than others. Dino Robinson played the kid who had his legs crushed in the previous episode. Gotcha. OK. Struggling to maintain whatever the hell accent he had. Yes, real over the map from everyone. Yeah, some are good. I mean, I think Richie's works. Territa, I just can't understand her, but that doesn't mean it's not authentic. I mean, keep reading old Rio. Like, old Rio is very Scottish and keep free is very British. Yeah, for sure. Teitra is Dutch, I believe. Now that would track. What did you guys think about the doorknob? Brother, I fucking that. That's the one that got me to be like, shut up, witch hat. But shut the hell up. I mean, it's how was moving castle. But that being said, them being like, well, well, different, well, different doorknobs open to different doors. How big is the place? How many are like, you can go down a flight of stairs. I just love them being like a doorknob. Sure is a circle. Haven't you noticed? And it's like, whatever. Everything's a fucking circle. I didn't even think about that. Oh, my God, you're right. That's all I didn't even think about the fact that a door, a doorknob is a song. Of course, that's why it's magic. Dude, I wonder if the back of Kevree's black lens has a spell written on it, and that's why it's black. Like a night vision spell or some shit. Yes, something, I don't know. Or like some like shotting gun that he turns on like, um, because I also noticed that the old man who owns the shop, his glasses are triangles and I'm like, that's some anti spell maneuver. You don't want to even draw shit on it. Like that is fair. There is a lot of there's a lot of like, well, because even like Keith I guess it's like his nose bridge is a triangle. That would be cool. It's all everything that is a circle can be a spell. It's like hitting Disney's. You have to like keep an eye out for all of the circles here. Like, I know at one point one of these fucking things is going to shoot fire at me. Would you feel about the brim hat moment with the vibe? Oh, I thought it was cool. I think it's like a cool explanation for like they're trying to like make her like as powerful and as magic. I think they're like, why are they trying to corrupt her? That's like my question. Like why like they're trying to get her caught, right? Like they're adding blood to her ink. They're making sure like like it's they're basically tying her to they're tying her to the brim hats, which like maybe they're trying to get her caught by the Knights Morales so that her memory can be wiped. But like that feels counterintuitive. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, we have a lot of questions because at the end of this episode, two like Keith, he's hyped about it. He's like, oh, my God, I have exactly what I need. And yeah, he says somebody's he says like melody or somebody's name. Oh, does he? I don't even remember. Yeah, he was like he was like melody or something like that. I have everything I need now. So I think like maybe he lost somebody or like a sister or a lover or something to the brim tats and he's trying to get them back. You think he's going to Edward Ellricate? What do you mean? Like try to bring her back to life. Oh, like, like, like, oh, that'd be sick. I would love to see human transmutation. That'd be awesome. Oh, man, I love this show. I love like a little gag. This would be so like out of nowhere for this show, but I love Keith. He's like, all right, let's get to it. And they're like, what was that? He's like, sorry, I forgot how we did this. Yeah, my pen. Please, please, please give me that. There's objectively no reason he couldn't do that. Somebody just said, I think that Keith, he has one black lens because it's a gray eye. No, but we could see both of his eyes, right? Like he doesn't wear them in front of his eyes. Can we? Yeah, right? Like they're so tiny. Interesting. Very, very interesting. Finally, I can't. No, we can't. You're right. And yeah, wow, maybe. Could be one silver eye. That'd be kind of sick. That would be pretty crazy. Oh, he said finally. Apparently he said, I finally, I thought he said, I thought he said like high melody or something like that. I have everything I need, but he said finally have everything I need. Gotcha. So he's not trying to say everyone, don't worry. He can still be shipped with his moody Scottish husband. Yeah, thank God. Yeah, no, we've never seen the other eyes. This chat, cool, crazy. Well, speaking of chat, we should get to our favorite part of the podcast here. Super chat corner to finish everything up. We got a bunch of super chats to get to here, so we might as well go ahead and get on into them. Holy God, we have a lot of these. Wow, we Zowie, we have a lot of these. Thanks, guys. Thank you. Thanks indeed, Lordy Lord. All right. Why aren't you guys talking about the new re zero season in the podcast says that's all Chinese characters. Oh, Japanese characters. I apologize. Japanese character. I've never watched any season of it. I just know Super gets eaten by rabbits and everybody was like that's super gets eaten by rabbits. He gets eaten by a multitude of things. I am at maybe some point going to finish season three, but season three made me want to pull my hair out. I just I got so bored. I dropped it. And listen, maybe that's on me. I love three zero season one and season two. I thought they're both very good. I don't know. I might I might be I might have outgrown re zero. I think unfortunately I think I've outgrown a lot of Ysaka. I maybe will give it another try. Honestly, we have a lot of things that we need to watch right now. We need to watch devil may cry. And also people have been upset with us for not watching. Nepons and Goku people are like, oh, it's actually way better than anything you guys talk about. So yeah, we have a bunch of things to watch. And unfortunately, I think we zero just may not make it. Lay go up. TTV asks, have you guys see the new season of DMC? Danny, see an episode one. Yeah, I've seen episode one of devil may cry. Wait, hold up, hold up, hold up. Yeah, so we're going to be watching and reacting probably one episode a week to DMC to I just like I have fun with DMC to I wasn't blown away by season one. And we probably won't spend a ton of time on it because it's like a very eight out of 10 anime. But we'll we'll see. I bugman says, Nick, did you see subnautica two got released? There's just no way. There is. Yeah, early access. There's just no way. There's way, dog. Subnautica two and or subnautica and then subnautica two, which is which is like the frozen one, which is actually just subnautica two are some of my favorite games of all time. Oh, yeah. It's an early access right now. Like just people are saying that subnautica two is one of the most polished early access games they've ever played in their entire life. Let's oh, oh, oh. Who I'm bringing back. Encey gamer. I'm playing this specifically to bring back. Encey gamer. That is so exciting. Holy shit. Wow. Um, Idol gamble says, Nick, where the Kaga. Batch reviews. Nick, we need them. Uh oh. Is green back. I know you're black. I think my camera died. My camera died. Good. We're wrapping up. It's OK. Good, good, good, good, good, good. Well, do you want to read these then? OK. Well, on account of no camera. Oh, wait, hold up. No, battery swap. I got it. Don't duck the Kaga. The Kaga. Batchy question. All right. I am. Listen, I am going to read Kaga. Batchy. I am now not moving. So I will be able to sit down with Kaga. Batchy for a second here. There's not a lot going on in the anime and Mongol world from like the perspective of things I make content on. So I do. I need to get on my Kaga. Batchy shit. I'm actually probably going to read. I, you know, as a promise to you, Idol gamble, I will read 30 chapters of Kaga. Batchy tonight. Uh, Ozzie's. You, well, you should, because I'm going to do it. Ozzie sends $20. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Hey, guys. I'm happy to catch you all's live show for the first time. I'm a bit curious. So I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask, are y'all planning on watching DMC season two? Now that it's out, man, a lot of people want us to watch DMC. Yeah. Are we the DMC podcast? I told you to do it. We'll do it. We'll do it. We had a lot to talk about this week. That's not why you didn't do it. No, that's right. That's fair. I was lazy and busy. You're right. You're 100% right. I'm a bad person. Spring. Just, you forgot. Yeah, I also forgot. Spring, set in $5 and says, has either of you ever seen Megalobox? It's an anime rocky, but 90 style. Everyone has robot arms, sports anime, best sports anime ever made, but also love the pot. Thank you. I love Megalobox. Yeah, Nick loves it. I am watched it because it's like 2018 CGI, which I wasn't into the look of. I am truly only ever willing to accept CGI when it comes, like specifically to fighting anime. I don't know why. Something about like fighting anime, I get are incredibly difficult to animate, but for some reason, Megalobox, any fight can get a show up. I can always deal with the CGI. So yes, I love Megalobox. Danny, probably not his back. I can't tell. Was it CGI? Because I'm looking some screenshots and it doesn't look CGI. Oh, wait. No, you're thinking the other one where it's like a mix of not only fighting arms, but also everyone has steampunk powered arms. OK. There's another there's another like arms like like metal arms fighting like boxing anime. That's CG. That's what you're thinking. Yeah, they did do levias in CG. That's crazy. Yeah. That's the one. That is the one. Yes. Yes. Yes. And so Megalobox is like also came around like out and around that time period. So they get mixed up. Danny keep I bugman says keep the puppy for the bit. That's too late for that too late. She's gone. Hannah mom says please tell Dorothy hi for me. And she's so pretty. Also people wish to know the top three on your hear me out cake. Number one, Isma from the Emperor's New Groove. Wow. I just reacted to it. Listen, Isma Isma. All right. Well, here's here's the real question. Isma or the lady from 101 Dalmatians. Corella Deville. Yes. She one of them murders puppies and the other just tries to kill fucking David Spade. We're talking about oh, oh, they're trying to kill animals here. Corella Deville kills puppies. Isma's trying to kill a llama the entire time. I'd kill fucking Cusco. Cusco deserves to die. I kill Cusco with a walk. The first time I put, if you put me in a room with Cusco, I am walking out with a llama coat. Nobody would mourn Cusco's death. That guy sucks. I wish he died. Isma 100%. So that's my number one. We'll do it draft style. What's your one? OK. My number one pick, because I know Danny's going to take it, and I want to get it before he does, the snake from Zootopia. Zootopia. Are you talking about B-stars? I am talking about, yes, the snake from B-stars. Yes. Yeah, the winged eyeliner snake with a little sexy hat. With a little sexy fucking, I'm a police officer hat. Yes. That is good. I would have taken that. That was on the tip of my tongue. There's another hear me out. I want it to be a real hear me out, not like someone conventionally attractive. I hate to be like, might hear me out to Lola Bunny, because she's a cartoon rabbit. Isn't that silly? Or die quirky, and it's like, I want to, I like scrub daddy. Scrub daddy looks at me every time I clean. Scrub daddy's crazy. I like that it's rough. Give me, what's like a disgusting freak? Give me Boros from One Punch Man. I like Boros is a big eyeball in the chest. Big horribly placed eyeball. Big horrible kind of goo monster, always electrified. I'm going to go in the exact opposite way here, and I'm going to say, I'm going to say maharaga. That's a good one. That's fair. Big pirate ship wheel. Big pirate ship wheel, a literal blade for a hand, but like seven, five and muscular. I'll take Tigerfish from Nemo. Yeah, Nemo fish is pretty good. A Nemo fish wouldn't be bad. I had a different one. Hold on, sorry. Give me literally a second to remember this. OK. Woo. Dobby, is it hear me out? You're dead wrong. Dobby. Oh, someone said a xenomorph? Predator, 100%. Oh, a yacha? Yeah, yacha. No, the ones that wear fishnets up their thighs and shit like that. You know what I mean? Have you ever seen female yacha? You ever seen? No, but I assume that the giant head offsets whatever sexy body you like. Listen, if you've seen Badlands, even the yacha from Badlands, that's a good looking yacha. I accidentally wrote yamcha. Yamcha is not a hear me out. That's just a conventionally attractive baseball player. I don't know how to spell yacha, and then I don't want to write female predator. All right, female predator worked, actually. Shockingly, it's all what I was looking for. Hillary Clinton. How'd you get here? The giant spider face. This might as well be a guy. I'm as attracted to this as a male yacha. That's incredibly fair. My final choice here is Kareha from One Piece. Kareha? How do I know? Chopper's like mom. I'm afraid. OK, I see what you're talking about here. Yeah. The doctor from Chopper's Island. I got you. OK, that's reasonable. Cool. All right. That's a great question. Thank you, Panda Mom. SF sends $20. And asks the question, hello. Fun fact for Danny's Patreon. Oren is a parody. So it often humorously twists common showjoe tropes, such as Prince, Stoic, Twins, ETC, Love Interests, and Scenario's Girl Academy, Secret Goodsides, Extreme Porness. I mean, that's not shocking to me. It's pretty clearly self-aware and silly. Oh, I'm sorry. But my reactions are not going to be fun if I'm like, how clever this commentary on the Twins trope. People don't see that. I could have seen it coming from a mile away on account of the fact that it's referenced from this anime right here. Yeah, people don't want to see that. They want to see me be like, the Twins are kissing again. They got to stop doing this. They know they can't do that. Who thought of this? Who thought of this? Show me them. With the faces I can make. I don't think I was able to make these faces pre-being a reactor. Yeah, I mean, that's just doing great thumbnail photos right now. Frank asks, just wanted to say hi in that I enjoy your content. I'm trying to catch up with the pod as we speak, so I'll get back to that grueling task. Hope it's not too grueling, my god. Lone Wolf says, are you guys ever coming back to Anime RL? Also, are you going to see the film Obsession? I'd love to hear your opinion on the film. No, we are not going to Anime RL. I'd like to see Obsession. I know the director. I've met him at a couple of parties. He's a super, super nice guy. They made great skit content before he got into directing. I think he won the short film he directed last year, won a bunch of awards. And now his feature, his first feature film, is being regarded as the best horror movie of the year. So that's awesome. All the best for him, honestly. Are you going to go see it? Yeah, I'll go see it. I want to see it sometime soon. There's that. Hocom is apparently crazy. Horrors really popping off right now. Yeah, horror is doing very, very good for itself. Yeah, so we will like to go see it. Alex Clark says, I gave you the Wispin card. Yes. OK, I remember now. Oh, coming back to you. It was at MagicCon. Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. A Wispin Magic card? Yeah. That's awesome as hell. All right, Ozzy, since $20. Pimpin' himpin' himpin' himpin' himpin' himpin' himpin' So we had a manga anime that tried to do exactly what Danny just described for the parody question. But the creator was bullied so much that it was canceled. I'm pretty sure it happened half a year ago. Crazy. What you described for the parody question. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. Oh, about like a shonen parody thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We tried to mix together like a pirate character, a ninja character, all that kind of thing. But it got bullied off the internet. I wonder why. I mean, they be getting people. I mean, listen, maybe if Danny tries, they'd ever be cool about it. Who knows? Are you re-vitalized it like you did Dead Boy Detectives Club? Yeah, boy did I. I brought that show back. Shot him straight in the arm there. Let's talk about human, bringing humans back to life here. The Greek weeb sends $20. We need a sound board. Yeah. We need a sound. I'm like literally sitting at my sound board. Want to let you know marriage talks in day months are going to be 24 episodes. So they're running through the summer season. Also check out agents of the four season, Violet Evergarden's author, Akane, Bananashi, and Snowball Earth. They're great. OK, so check out agents of the four seasons that's created by the Violet Evergarden author, Akane, Bananashi, and Snowball Earth. OK, thanks, the Greek weeb. We will check those out. Snowball Earth, Luke Holt is in that. It's fucking. Luke Holt Zeus? Yeah, he's in that. Oh, fuck it. I do have to check this out. Cool. Cameron Spencer says, if you're on Patreon, would it be possible to charge at first and make it free after a certain amount of time has passed? So that's a question for you and not for me. Danny's deep in a bunch of anime reactions right now. And Danny's months away from swapping. That is true. Maybe I could do that. But it's also just a matter of like there. Well, I can make it free on Patreon after like a couple of weeks. I don't know. Maybe I could do that. Sometimes they just get sniped off of YouTube like entirely. Like it's not even about monetization. They're just like, we can't. You can't keep this up. Yeah, exactly. The Greek weeb sends another $20. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow, that was actually holy shit. I was snapping that. Check out Galaxies. It's a new manga from Kodansha. Great art, action, lore. Chosun X is a great slow start. But chapter 20, it hits its stride. One of the best manga reading right now. Both manga release when chapters are ready. No shuttle. No already. No, no, no. I'm assuming that just means like manga chapters are just ripping out here. Yeah, honestly, I think I might have a manga reading night. I have time. I'm not going to film a reaction video tonight. I'm just going to sit down. I'm going to read a little bit. I'm going to read a little Kagura Bachi. Maybe I'll get into Chojunettes. I'd like to be more tapped into manga right now. That's for sure. I feel that. Ozzy sends $10. It says the manga I talked about earlier was called the Cheat Slayer. It was canceled after one chapter because of the backlash, parodying, popular, Isekai characters. Gotcha. Oh, interesting. Yeah, you can't fuck with the Isekai crowd. No, you really can't. They will find your home address. Sonic Boomers sends $10. It says, soon, what character design aesthetics? What character design aesthetics do you love beyond all reason? Example, I love Ido, the boxer from One Piece because of his arm towers. Oh, I know exactly what you're talking about. It's also why I was disappointed Chad does nothing. What's a character design you love? I love a lot of character designs. I mean, most Gachiakuna characters. To one we talked about a lot recently, I love Baby from Gachiakuna. I saw somebody doing the Baby. I saw somebody doing a Baby cosplay. I was just on Instagram. And I was looking at it. I was like, even the cosplay that comes out of Gachiakuna is such an inspiration for the rest of the cosplay community. It's so cool. And Gachiakuna is almost a cop out just because it's so widely beloved from a character development standpoint. But for something, something pulls me to Baby that I just adore. It's either the sucker or the hair or the multiple punches to warm up kind of thing. I just love Baby. Yeah, I mean, Gachiakuna is like great character design the show. Yeah. I could pull like that whole show as an answer. The girl in the fucking onesie. Just everyone. Like engines, sick, Ruto, sick, Ammo looks dope. To get out of Gachiakuna, I genuinely think Bakugo's like hero fit is like one of the coolest designs ever. The grenade hands go so well. Grenade hands is so awesome. He's also like one of the very few people in my hero academia whose suit looks like it belongs to the power. He like he has like momos just in no clothes. He's one of the few characters in my hero who actually has a good suit in in one A. Everyone else's dumb suits in one A. I would argue. No. It is just the Mac. Momo's not wearing clothes. Frappi. Frappi's is pretty good. Low key. I was going to argue Eda because Eda's pretty cool. He's like a big knight with fucking engines on his calves. Frappi's fine. He's in like a diver suit. I guess. Well, like Eda's born with engines in his calves. Like they didn't have to add the engines in his calf. That's just they have to fucking house him. Yeah. Chuck'em ball, Chuck Kimball. Chuck Kimball says Danny, I become interested. Baby. Chuck'em balls and my mom. Danny, I become interested in filmmaking. Slightly inspired by you. Where would you say the best place and thing is to start learning? YouTube has a lot of sources, but you got to kind of actively vet what is real knowledge and what isn't. I think the best place to start is, if you're not going to go to film school, you could reach out to local colleges, like local community colleges or regular colleges and be like, hey, I'm looking to get into filmmaking. I just want to be on a set. I'll help in any way I can. And then just go and be the guy who runs the store and buys tangerines for the crew. And just be on set and watch. Don't be obnoxious. Don't get in anyone's way because they will hate that. If you're like, hey, yes, so why did you set up this angle? Like don't be asking artistic questions on set, but be helpful on set and then in between shooting days, get to know people. Otherwise, just go to film school. And that is objectively the best place to learn. The real answer is become a YouTuber, use the funds from YouTube to fund all your short films, and just do whatever the fuck you want. Yeah, just do whatever. To fuck schools, fuck churches. Yeah, dude. All institutions should crumble. Travis the Black Fox says, finally get in and catch a live show. Love you guys. Keep it up. Punishment idea. Loser has to watch. With you, our love will make it through. It's odd. With you. Sounds crazy. Our love will make it through. That sounds like a 70s lyric to a disco song. And we are looking at a wolf, a blue wolf, and a girl. Wow. We're looking at inner species, full on inner species bee stars. They looked at bee stars and they said, nope, doesn't go far enough. Do you see this little cat girl? These are like upsetting looking animal. Oh, god. What I thought that was just a girl with cat ears. No, that's just she's full cat. Do you see if you are you on Google Images? Do you see the wolf guy shirtless? Yeah, this is upsetting looking. It's like the worst. It's like somebody watched bee stars in one sitting, waited a week, and it was like, all right, I'm going to remake that by memory. Yeah. That being said, the more I'm looking at it, the more I'm starting to think that this would be very funny to watch. It might be. God, this is so. I'm also seeing an image right here where the guy who was, I'm assuming, the counter to the blue wolf guy who probably dates the cat girl holding a dog. Like he's holding a dog, which means not only do dog people exist in this universe, but dogs also exist in this universe. I don't love the inner species shit. I mean, I get that he's like, there's a difference between fucking a real dog and fucking a man who looks like a dog. But I'm seeing some screenshots of a woman kissing a dog muzzle. And I'm like, get out of here. Yeah, get out of here, dog. Yeah, that's very fair. That would be a fun punishment, though. Joe Donis says, guess what other four heads of the assassination families are? Well, a couple of them. Oh, wait. Oh, no. A couple of them are just like a couple of them are just like the names of the things they're named after. Like one of them steal, I think, or like knives. Owner of one's invisibility. Invisibility. I think one's like I think one's like blades. I think for sure one is blades. And then blades poison. Suffocation. No breathing. Don't give a fuck if I cut my own bleeding. I think there's probably also going to be one that's like like black widows, like where it's like specifically like women. Like it's going to be a women one where it's like, oh, you know, like they're like they're the like konoichi's or konoichi's like where like they are like seduction, like the assaic honeypot kind of thing. That kind of thing. So I think, yeah, like knives explosives. This person saying, isn't it sound poison, beast water and something else? I don't know, though. I don't know. Oh, one is one is dogs. One is dogs for sure. It's just dogs. I think it's like all the beasts. Yeah. Yeah, that's interesting. I guess they're all offshoots of these top five. But it seems weird to me that he just fought like the sound guy. That's like one of the top ones, you know. Do you think that I mean, that is if sound is one of the top families, we don't know that like that for sure. Yeah. Interesting. Beasts will be cool. I assume shark is an offshoot of that, you know. Yeah, probably genius edits says, have you guys heard of Mgf with a W recommend watching his matches with Derby and CM Punk also as promos or elite. He understands it all too well. I love MJF, dude. Yeah, I don't know. You don't know. He's always wearing a scarf. He's always like he's a very snarky heel. He's very fun. He's very like he's very clever and quick. I see. Yeah, yeah, he's good. He was a really good pickup for AW. Him and CM Punk are like very like, I mean, CM Punk's WWE. But their match was awesome, but he's a great grab for AW. Alex Clark says, how strong would Meruem be if he was fed higher quality hunters like Kite while in the womb? A stronger. I mean, his entire thing is adaptation. What? What? What do you mean he fights in the womb? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Meruem's entire thing is that like he's fed food by the queen while she eats while she makes him. I thought they're like intentionally birthing twins. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. And Meruem's twin always beats the shit out of the other. No, that would be very funny though. I mean, obviously stronger. His entire thing is adaptation. Anybody whose brain or nen he consumes, he gets the ability of, that's how he gets photons because he gets it from core to pee, not core to pee, shy of poof. And so, yeah, I mean, obviously, if you feed Meruem, stronger and stronger hunters, he's going to get stronger and stronger. Ibugman says, please play sub two with me. I need someone to play with dog. I'm going to get on there as soon as I'm done reading all these mangas. Lowell says. I just bought volume one of Levius. I couldn't help myself. Like literally just. You just bought what? Volume one of Levius. Oh, really? I've been wanting it for like three years and us name dropping it. I was like, I got to buy this. It is a very, very fun story here. Lone Wolf asks, fate strange, fake, favorite servant and which fight do you hope to see in season two? I want N.Kidoo versus Pale Rider. And my favorite is Gilgamesh. Ouch, A. Being a Gil fan in the big 2026 is difficult because all you can say is that didn't count. I also love Gil. He's not my favorite. My favorite servant from fate strange, fake, man, I don't know. Assassin's been fun. I like Assassin. I like her connection to like the zombie guy. Also it's cool to see that that berserker from the true fate be like so the berserker from the actual war is from N.Kidoo and Gilgamesh's story, the original epic. But I'm gonna say right now, probably N.Kidoo. I just love N.Kidoo. N.Kidoo is my Gilgamesh. Sam Fisher says, have you guys watched Akane Banashi? It's basically a battlesports show and about Rakugo, performative storytelling that Dub just started on Netflix. I'm sorry, was that performative storytelling I saw? Oh wait, is this that fucking game with the, no, what is it, Akane Banashi? Yeah, Akane Banashi. This is the second time we've been asked about it today. This looks gorgeous and very fun. I have no idea what this is. I'll check it out. But now I'm hearing it's all about performative storytelling and I for some reason don't. It's like slambo. Oh, I know what it is. Yeah, so there's this thing in Japan where like one person essentially sits, one person sits on a stage with a fan. Like you have like one prop and the prop is your fan kind of thing and you tell a story. Yeah, and it's Roku. But no, I've never even thought to watch this. No, all right. No, all right. No, all right. Our last question here is from Phantom Raphael who sends $10. Yonek and Danny wanted to say I love this pod and wanted to listen to it. I was to do it during my workshops. If you guys run out of anime, try internet overdose. It's a pretty philosophical content creation. Trust me when I say brother, we are not running out of anime and the time soon. We are drowning in anime and we will continue to drown in anime because the world needs more and more content every single minute. Oh, thanks. Just sent, thanks. Just sent another image. Thanks. Just sent another image. Here's our last one here, Ozzy sends $5. I'm interested into getting into manga. What would be the best place to buy it from? Like Kudansha or Viz's website, I would say. I get... No? Not all that. Okay. That's why wouldn't you go local in terms of like a Barnes and Noble? Oh, that's fair. You can go to a Barnes and Nobis. I love a Barnes and Noble. If you have like a local bookstore that isn't a chain, go there. But if you want it like cheap as can be and not physical, the Shonen Jump app, the Manga Plus app, it's like a $3 a month subscription and you get all of the manga. Like you get the entirety of one piece for three bucks a month and that is, you won't find a better deal. They also allow you to download up to 100 chapters at a time for offline reading, which is really nice. And also the app itself is free. You can read like three chapters from all of the manga, without even buying anything. So yeah, the Shonen Jump app is awesome. But all right guys, that is all we have this week. Thank you so much for checking for another episode of Talk with Anonymous. We will be in person next week, which I'm very excited about. We'll be over at Danny's Place because I am living in my girlfriend's childhood home for the next month. Well, my home gets built. But we love you guys so much and we will see you on the next one. Bye guys. Mwah. Hey, brum, brum, brum, brum. And now for my next number. I'd like to return the button. I'm gonna go ahead and get it. I'm gonna go ahead and get it. I'm gonna go ahead and get it. I'm gonna go ahead and get it. I'm gonna go ahead and get it. I'm gonna go ahead and get it. I'm gonna go ahead and get it. I'm gonna go ahead and get it. I'm gonna go ahead and get it. I'm gonna go ahead and get it. I'm gonna go ahead and get it. I'm gonna go ahead and get it. I'm gonna go ahead and get it. I'm gonna go ahead and get it.
