Otaku's Anonymous Episode #160 features hosts Nick and Danny discussing the AITA Anime Edition game, reviewing five current anime series (Witch Hat Atelier, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, Daemons of the Shadow Realm, My Hero Academia, and Marriage Toxin), and announcing a podcast restructuring focused on more games and less niche anime coverage.
Insights
- Anime fandom engagement varies dramatically by platform and algorithm exposure—viewers in different algorithmic bubbles experience completely different community narratives around the same show
- First-season quality and pacing significantly impacts long-term viewer retention; shows that start strong but shift toward power-scaling narratives risk losing core audiences despite mainstream popularity
- Gag anime and comedy-focused storytelling require strong foundational character writing and world-building to land consistently; execution matters more than premise
- Manga-to-anime adaptation success depends on knowing when to show rather than tell—heavy-handed exposition of themes can undermine emotional impact of subtly written character moments
- Content creator scheduling and physical exhaustion directly impact production quality; sustainable podcast formats require structural changes, not just willpower
Trends
Shift toward game-based podcast formats over pure discussion content to maintain audience engagement and differentiate from competitorsIncreasing disconnect between critical reception (IMDB scores) and viewer sentiment on social platforms, suggesting algorithmic sorting of fandom communitiesPower-scaling fatigue in long-running shonen anime; audiences increasingly value character-driven narratives over escalating magical systemsAnime adaptation quality heavily influenced by source material's thematic subtlety; over-explanation of themes reduces audience satisfactionCreator burnout from event attendance and content creation leading to format restructuring and reduced production schedulesGag anime gaining mainstream traction as audiences seek lighter content alongside action-heavy releasesNostalgia-driven anime viewership; audiences comparing current season quality to previous seasons of same franchisesManga-original storytelling (Witch Hat Atelier) outperforming adapted content in critical metrics despite lower total engagementVoice acting quality (English dub) becoming meme-able and culturally significant enough to drive engagement independentlyAnime convention culture (Magic Con) creating secondary 'lobby con' experiences that rival official programming

Laughs so hard reading this I had an asthma attack was tempest temporarily convinced that was going to die all for the love of sleeve nicked tickle. So for context, I just sent Nick something on Instagram that Panda Mom sent me and wants us to read aloud. Okay, so read. Yeah, read the context of it. This is from a 19 base or a 90s baseball game where a Japanese game developer had to make up a bunch of American quote on quote names and then read these American names developed by a Japanese video game developer in the 90s. You know what and I'm pouring over them already and I don't know nevermind. I just got to Anatoly S'more and and I think we could do a better job because I was like how good of a job would we do making up Japanese names? Probably not. Probably not. Yeah, it'd probably be bad, but I also don't think Anatoly S'more is fucking okay. So going first up in our batting batting first for whatever team we have sleeve mcdickle followed up by on since we me you like we got a Darrell arc arcadel arcadel followed up by my personal favorite batting cleanup Anatoly S'more in we got Ray McShriff we got Ray McShriff Jen Allen mixing Mario make I mean these are just slapping that's mcRL W a I and McRoy McRoy哎哎哎哎哎哎 Is alphabet soup different in different countries? Well, they don't really have a phonetic alphabet. They do and they don't. They've here, Ghana, and Katakana. So like, it's true. There are other countries besides Japan. Well, I guess I was talking about like character based languages. Roshan. Roshan, yes, 100%. They have a bunch of weird ass letters. They have a bunch of backwards letters. They got a bunch of backwards letters. Oh, speaking of the witch, speaking of letters, we have to read the first page of Rose's manga today. Oh, we have Kevin Noggleney. Naturally, Tony Smarrick. Bobson Dugnut. Dugnut sounds like the logical progression of Doug Trio. Bobson Dugnut's pretty good. Willie Dustis. Yep. Jeremy Greid. Greid? But Jeremy, I guess that's how you spell it, right? We got Shon Furcoat coming up here. These are absurd. They're kind of hilarious. These are pretty funny. I like this. Mike Truck, that's good. Mike Truck's about as American as it gets. Mike Truck sings country music. That's like this dude just talking about how much he loves his golden retrievers and light beers. Yeah, Carl Dandleton is probably the last funny one, other than Todd Bonsaw. Bonsaw. There are truly one letter away from real last names occasionally. Oh, I like that. That's like that Keen Pilsgate. You remember that? Oh, East First West Bowl. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's good stuff. That's great stuff. But anyways, yeah, that would be me. That's great. That's thank you, Panda Mom, for that. That's a genuine pleasure. I've been sending you a monculus means about a wizard. About a wizard going on travels with this monculus and this monculus. So he's smoking a cigarette and holding a six shooter. It's real good stuff. I have seen this. But anyways, big weekend for the both of us this weekend. I committed to boterie all weekend by drinking, eating hot dogs, and running a half marathon. And you went to Magic Con. I went to Magic Con. And you did everything on the side. You've been in two music videos in three days. Yeah, I guess technically both for Tina, XX Tina. I believe is her name or Tina XX, one of those. One of them. I'll tell Stank. We'll figure it out. But oh, are you finding out right now? Well, I just I'm looking up who XX Tina is. Well, if I do the regardless. Yeah, my manager, Nick. Yeah, other Nick and just NIC actually. He is managing this artist named X Tina. OK, so one too many X's. Yeah, you two Twitch user name coded. Yeah, I am. I'm to like Xbox 360 username like XX toxic drift. Yeah, yeah. And the XX and then XX at the back as well. Yeah, exactly. Uppercase lowercase period lowercase uppercase on the end. No, you're entirely correct. That was the only way to get your true name. Um, yeah, X Tina is this new artist managed by my manager, Nick. And yeah, just just did some promotion for her at Magic Con. And then earlier today with some other creators. And then, yeah, Magic Con was cool. It was busy as hell. It was like, yeah, actually the most exhausting con I've ever been to. You were just you were you were swarmed by a bunch of card loving fans. I was swarmed by card loving viewers for sure. And you were just like, hooray, please learn the voices. So a lot of people. Yeah, a lot of people came up to me. They're like, is Nick here? And like now Nick's in New York, some dumb sports guy. Dumbest sports guy thing I've ever done in my entire life. Me and my college best friends are all in a fantasy football league. And this year we decided in order to like figure out whose draft place would be where we did a 44 units challenge, which is 44 beers, miles and hot dogs. So I ran a half marathon in the morning through New York, went to Central Park for the first time. Gorgeous. The first time I never I've been in New York several times. I never actually like truly like walked through Central Park. Did a whole loop. It's like a seven mile. It's like a seven mile loop. If you like run, there's a big park. It's a huge park. Because like for years, I was like, I every time you fly into New York, you just get like kind of jaded about the fact that all of the airports are far, like an hour away from the places you want to go. Yeah, JFK is awful to land in, leave out of and to be near. Exactly. And so my controversial, like not real opinion, but kind of joking opinion. I was like, we got to pave over Central Park and just make it into an airport. But then I was like, you know, the whole like planes flying in and out of the center of Manhattan is probably not the best thing we can do. The middle of skyscraper city. They're just doing barrels through like they're Star Fox here. And then I went to Central Park and I was like, no, this is one of the best city features I've ever seen in my entire life. You're like, we should preserve this. We should preserve. What a hot take. I know, I know. I was like, I saw Mandami in there and shook his hand. I was like, good job making this not an airport. And then I proceeded to drink 32 beers. You need 11 hot dogs and I still feel like shit. And it's Monday and I did that Saturday. So I think I'm sober. I think I'm sober. I don't think I ever want to feel like this again, actually. You've said this before, how many years of this kind of debauchery do you think you have left in you? I'm coming. I don't think it's years. I don't think years is the quantifying variable we can use anymore. I think I'm down to weeks. Yeah, that's so fair. I feel like dirt. I this is this might be the one like I actually genuinely in my take up yoga. Yeah, I was like, I'm moving out of this house in two days. This is the last podcast we're ever doing in the studio. And we're like tentatively doing the podcast for a month and a half out of Danny's ADU. Yeah, well, no, we're just going to do it in my living room. OK, and your living room or office. Yeah, real casual with it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's going to be all of our anime statues going to be replaced by two Assassin's Creed statues and Geralt, maybe. Yeah, we'll see. And so yes, this is our this is our ultimate. They're not even our pen ultimate. This is our ultimate. This is our ultimate. This is the ultimate podcast. Here and I have the collective IQ of six right now. But yeah, no, I think I'm done. I think I'm which is tough news because I have EDC in like a week and it's just it's all bad. So you're not done. I want to be. You don't want to be done. You've said this already on the podcast. I know, I know. I just I just drinking so much fun, drinking so much fun until it's not. I don't like drinking. I like being drunk. That's fair. Yeah. Drinking the action of drinking is an incredible destination before the journey for me. I was drunk for like 12 hours. It was it was bad. It was so bad. It was and just I only filled with hot dogs. 11 hot dogs. That honestly might have almost food. That might have been more detrimental. Like I think I'd feel better right now if I just eaten a regular a regular amount of food and or regular type of food. Yeah, that's that's just how diets are. And I was like, I can run a half marathon and I did. But my body hurts in ways. It's never hurt before. I mean, did I prove that a half marathon is not that hard? 100 percent. That was the goal. I don't know about that. You started already like fit and athletic. The outset of the goal was for me to prove that every single one of your friends who have been insufferable about the fact that they ran a half marathon has no right to stand on that foot. No. But boy, oh boy, if they didn't hurt as bad as I did, that actually might be kind of impressive. If they've woke up two days after a half marathon with the ability to use stairs, good on them. I don't think the fact that you're hurt after or wait, I don't think the fact that they're not hurt after would mean that it isn't hard. I mean, but no, no, no, no, no, no. If they're not hurt after, they were in better shape. I mean, he is what I say. I just threw my body out of problem and just sacrificed my legs. And boy, oh boy, am I regretting it. That's fair. But before going any further with that, today, I want to talk to you about the sponsor of today's episode factor. Hunger strikes. And you're exhausted.

I was like so nervous I was going to have to punt this pod and I punted. I mean, just not do one this week. Because magic con in Vegas is way crazier than you ever could fucking expect. Yeah. Everyone's like, oh, the actual con is like not the real con. You want to do lobby con, which happens to the lobby of the Renaissance, where like, which is a hotel where everybody goes and they play magic and they make it sound like this cool, chill, like con lobby vibe. It's just fucking jackass. The movie. It's just people like being unreasonably drunk, playing it like poker table. It's like a big circle, hammered. People are wrestling. People are tackling each other. Yeah. It's like pulling out like his dragon's deck and it was like, fuck you. Climb it over the table. It's so hardcore and loud and. Shuffling his un-sleeved deck and somebody's literally trying to stab him in the throat. You're also like, oh, everybody's sloppy, piss drunk. I could probably win a few games here. Yeah. I was with like Danny Phantom, who would turn, talk to like six Instagram models. And I'm like, hey, by the way, I did this. He'd turn around, what my ass and like steal my cards in one thought and then turn right back around. Yeah, you were just a legitimate afterthought to his fucking playing capability. Danny Phantom is a legit player, though. They're all legit players. We were just talking about this. Every content creator I've met who I'm like expecting and kind of hoping to be a fake magic, the gathering fan. It's me. It's just us. He wants everyone to be us. That's the thing. It's just us. And Danny's better than I am by a landslide. It's just us to everybody else, like actually thoroughly knows their shit. If you think somebody who's like a content creator is lARPing just because they're like too attractive to be into magic. That's the thing. You're wrong. Yeah. They're just way better than you. They're like a pro tour, a legit. I don't know. Here's Nick's level of magic, the gathering knowledge. I have no idea what Danny just said. Pro tour, a legion to me sounds like a honestly a golf ball. I think I meant collegiate. OK. Collegiate magic player. Yeah. That'd be wild. I think that's what I meant. That'd be O.M. Full ride. Like MTG. But we have eSports teams in college now. We could probably do TCG. My ex roommate, Josh, was in our colleges. Kind of sad that you referred to him as your ex roommate. He's my ex roommate. What else could be? You could just be like, Hey, what am I closest? Like ex roommate is a weird. People need to know it was closer than that. I was closer than friends. It was literally, by the way, just created a short form with Danny, a short film with Danny. We've made a short form. You made one short form. It took years. And you guys can find it on YouTube. It's called No Supers. Nick hated it. I haven't seen it yet. I bet. Yeah. It's called No Supers. It's sick. Please watch it. But I got to play one game of magic with Jorge. Good. We attempted it. We attempted like six games, but between him getting recognized and then me getting recognized and us like signing stuff and taking photos and stuff. It like games took four hours and would end in us forfeiting because we felt bad for the rest of the table. Have you considered being quieter at cons? That's because here's the thing. You were for the majority of not the majority, but a large part of your career, not a face. You were a voice. And now to this day, even at cons, we are both still voices and people would be like, oh, generic white guy. And they'll hear us scream while being like, oh, you want a photo? And then 12 more people will come. It's mostly Jorge. They can smell him in the room for a mile away. He's got those. He's got those Greek. He's got those Greek pheromones leaking out of him. Yeah. Just writing about a Greek thing. Yeah. Ethnically Greek. Yeah. He just smells like fucking. He smells like scripture and I don't know olive oil. Papyrus. Papyrus. Yeah. Leather-bound sandals. Yeah. But I got to play with Jorge, which was rad. He's very nice. He has two modes, a facial expression, which is 100% happy or 100% sad. OK. You'll go from being like, like I'll tell a joke and he'll laugh with the entirety of his face. And then I'll be like, I'll be talking to someone. And he came up and he was like, hey, Danny, my friend, I'm so sorry. But you know, things are kind of hectic. Like we got to go eat. And he looks like a droopy dog. Like he looks so authentically sad. And he's like, look, if you want my bank account for this, like you can have it. I just had a son. You can have him for the rest of his life. I'm just so sorry I have to cut this game short. This is sounding like we're definitely going to get some cursed Yowie fanfiction about how you and Jorge never got a true shot. Like everybody, like literally you guys like just keep passing each other at Magic Con. You just never get the chance to finish your game. Yeah. It was very much like that. But we eventually. We'll never know who the top in their relationship is, because neither of them ever got the chance to scoop. Yeah. We we got one game in, which was fun. I got to play with him, the voice actor of Eurylicus Armando and Jorge's partner, Taylor, who plays Cersei. And they were all unbelievably cool. Yeah. Yeah. Sucks being at a table with like legitimately talented people. And you get to be like a really good singer and also you're better than me at Magic. That's fucked. Yeah. It also sucks when they were all like, yeah, we like know you exist and we've seen your bits. And I'm like, oh, yeah, what have I said about you specifically again? Yeah. You're like, oh, kind of was Cersei could hit this note a little bit better here. Let's see if we can. Let's see if we can blaze past that for the rest of this existence. Yeah. Eurylicus's voice actor is like seven feet tall. Oh, Eurylicus is the one you despise. Who opened the windbag? Yeah. And he was just eyeing me down. And I was like, maybe he just happens to be looking in my direction. No, super new who I was. Super new all the bits. First off, that's more on Jorge than it is on you. You wrote Eurylicus as a bastard child. As a bastard, man. Yeah. But yeah, it was super cool. He was unbelievably sweet. Magic Island was sick, exhausting. I spent an unreasonable amount of dollars. Am I allowed to tell at least of a loose semblance of this story? Sure. OK, because Danny walked in today. And I've been packing up. I've been running around. Danny was watching all the things we needed to watch for this week down in the couch. But we're both settling in for the podcast. And he goes, I spent too much money. And when Danny says that, it doesn't like when your friend comes home from the casino or a convention or a card shop. And they're like, I spent too much money. You're like, OK, there's probably a somewhat unreasonable number here. But Danny doesn't spend money on anything except for toys. And so when Danny tells you that he went to a toy thing and he spends an irrational amount of money, think forward to five digits. And Danny goes, I walked into Magic Con with a budget of $2,000. And I was like, let me stop you right there. Your budget was $2,000 for Cardboard Con. And you believe you blew past it. Well, I knew I wanted to gamble. It was a Vegas baby. But you didn't gamble. I gambled. I bought boxes, like Collector Booster Box. Crazy. That's gambling, baby. After Senpai Gabe sent you fucking some for being kind of mean to him. Yeah, the Spider-Man box. So I just kept like. By the way, if anybody's ever been mean to me and wants to send me Collector's Boxes, what in all I'll take the olive branch? I found out the bit was I because I'm just like a greedy child who sucks and just opens the present without reading the card first. There was a note in it that said maybe now you can feel like an ambassador. I lost my ambassador ship. So it was you lost your ambassador ship with that. How they just didn't send me shit. OK, this I gave shit. But anyway, I it was just past Danny and present Danny and future Danny are not on the same page. Got her. Yeah. It's like present Danny is like, you know what? I spent all my budget on Friday. That's it. That's all I'm going to do. Then Saturday and Sunday, I'm going to play games. Yeah. And then Saturday, Danny is like, it's a new day. And it's Vegas, baby. And you're not doing another Blackjack table. So, you know, at least something positive is happening. Yeah, I got a lot of cards that are real expensive. It's mostly Bloomberg. Oh, that was my big hunt. Danny's I mean, as as literally the king of the girl, squirrels and. Bloom, the last one doesn't run. I think it's going to go. It would make sense. You would be in the Bloomberg. Should we get into a game? OK, what? I was just so abrupt. I thought you were king of the Segway. I thought we're wrapping into it. OK, yeah. No, we need to do it. You have something to say. It's important to note here before we head into our games and all of that, that me and Danny are going to be restructuring the podcast a little bit here. So with the ending of this studio, we are also going to be changing how the podcast is structured. Our lovely part time editor and full time friend, Sean. Game maker. Yes, our game maker has informed us of ways that we can improve upon the podcast. And we are making a commitment in the continuation of a talk is anonymous to keep this as interesting and fun for you guys as possible. So what we are going to be doing moving forward is we are going to keep talking about like, oh, what are the anime of the season kind of thing? But we're going to be talking in anime in a more generalized sense. And we want to focus more on playing games and chatting as the boys hanging out, picking back, being bull. And so we are going to do our coverage and all of that, but we're not going to do our coverage until a little bit later. And we're actually going to start opening the podcast after we're done yapping about whatever the hell we did this weekend with the game. And this game for this week is the anime. Am I the asshole that we didn't get to last week? And we really want to because it's a fun game. And Sean did a great job making it. So that is what we're going to open with. So basically in a TLDR, this is just a we're committing to more games. We're committing to more games. Yeah. Less Liars game and less like incredibly niche anime, less Togan Anki and more games, more Togan Anki. Yes, that is exactly what's going on. Less anime that like only six people are watching and more games anyone can enjoy. So the first game we have here is Am I the Asshole anime edition? And at first I thought this was going to be like anime plots or like characters summarized and it was like, oh, you know, I betrayed my whole band of brothers to a bunch of demons, but the demons were hot and I became hot. Is Griffith the asshole? It's not that. This I killed 80 percent of the population and the people on the island were still kind of dead to me. I did it for them. This is Am I the asshole from Reddit's actual Am I the asshole page? Yes, but they're all related to anime in some capacity. So I'm going to read this to you. You let me know if I'm the asshole. OK, and we'll be doing four of these for the regular podcast and three for the patrons of you guys want to hear all seven of them being members of the Patreon today. I found out that my boyfriend has been using an anime body pillow for years. Am I the asshole? What do you mean? You say, well, also that's a good question. There's a wide capacity in using for an anime body pillow. I feel like there needs more to the sentence. Like no asshole behavior has happened yet. It's just I found something out. Like I have a body pillow that I sleep with every night. Yeah, you throw it. I mean, it does change a little bit. You put your cock in it. There's a different that's a girlfriend. That is that's loosely the plot of her. I twenty seven F have a BF thirty two male and we live in separate cities. We talk all the time and video chat with each other and regularly send nudes to each other. That was necessarily. Let's go. Both of you, I guess. Yesterday, I came over to hang out since we haven't seen each other in a while. When I got to his house, I noticed he had an anime body pillow on his bed. I asked him why he had it. He said that since we aren't able to have sex often, awful way to start this answer. Say it's comfy. Say it's cozy. Hey, look, flip it on the side that doesn't have a hole and be like, yeah, I'm sorry, I get lonely when you're not around. Since we aren't able to have sex often, he bought himself a pillow to satisfy himself so he doesn't get the urge to cheat. I'm kind of uncomfortable knowing that a body pillow is apparently good enough for him not to need actual sex and have started questioning if he even enjoys it when we get intimate. What should I do? I feel like everybody's doing the wrong thing in this scenario. Am I the problem? Am I the problem where I'm like, there's way worse things he could be doing? It's kind of like, is it weird a little bit? But also is a body pillow like worse than like, let's say he had a pocket pussy or something like that? I, yeah, I don't see it as like radically different from if he was like, hey, I just jerk off when you're not here. Yeah. You know, but like, I don't want this like, cum pillow on the bed. Put it away. That being said, put it in a barnacle and crusted seed chest. Literally lock the thing under your bed, slide it, slide it away, fucking three locks for when your real human girlfriend is there. Because like, what was the, what was the conversation? You were going to have that conversation at a certain point when like, she gets in your bed and she's like, I just heard this pillow crunch. Yeah. Like, shut. Be less honest about why the pillow is there. Also, if I, if this were me in this scenario and my like long distance girlfriend were coming over and she was like, why do you have a body pillow? I feel like the first thing you do is turn around and be like, there's a woman on this. I've been having it flipped over the whole time. It was just a comfortable pillow. The one sided body pillow is like, I thought people were being weird about it. I forgot they're double sided. Oh, they're double sided. You get the front and the back. Yeah. That's so far. I think he's like, it has a face. I guess, is that what they're for? They're for sex. I thought I was just a bit. It's a bit to some people. It's a bit to us. But like, is it a, like, I bet you the, I bet you 10% of people with body pillows actually have sex with them. And then 20% of people, it's a bit. And then the other, and then the other 70% of people are like, I like sleeping with my anime waifu kind of thing. Right. Wow. I don't know. I don't think she's the asshole for being uncomfortable. It's, I feel so. It's the same thing. It's like, oh, do you get uncomfortable with the fact that your significant other jerks off to porn or something like that? Yeah. Like it's like, oh, is it weird for you that your significant other finds pleasure at how other people look? The weirdest part about it is that it's a prop. Like a used prop in the, in the bed. Okay. But like, all right. So like to be like, all right, then what about like, real dolls? You know, like what if you found out that your partner had a real doll? Do you know what a real doll is? It's like a sex doll. Yeah. It's like a $5,000. See, this is the problem is once you start getting into the thousands, it gets more alarming because the body pillow is like 40 bucks. Right. Yeah. All right. All right. All right. I'm going to take it one step down from real dolls. Have you ever seen like the, they're just like butts? No. No, I haven't. They're just, it's just like a, it's like a silicone ass. It's like a Rick and Morty product. And you're just hump. Am I the asshole for thinking it's weird? My boyfriend has a plimbus. Now that I'm saying it out loud, just having a dis, having a disembodied ass that you hump is worse. To me, I'd rather have a, I'd rather my partner has a real doll, because at least it has a face. You know, I, I almost want to buy a disembodied ass and put it on like a little nightstand by my front door. So every time I walk into my house, I give it like one little slap and then like, enter my living room. You can even pull like jeans on it. So it's not obscene, but it's kind of just like a textile. That's like a little, it's like a fucking. It's like, what's up Brandon? Yeah. It's like the stress ball, you know, how to get me into the house here. I don't know what to Google to find. Don't. That's your answer. I'm going to say that she's, I'm going to say that she's not weird for being upset about this. Yeah. Because he should be more open about it. I guess he was. That's incredibly fair. I think it's okay to be uncomfortable, comfortable by it. It feels like this post is coming in between the story. You know what I mean? Like it feels like I like, I'm almost like, and then what? Like you didn't talk to him about it. You know what I mean? You're like, oh, I'm just uncomfortable with the pillow. And it's like, okay, you take it out to the back and light it on fire. I feel like she was like, okay, interesting. Let me ask her at it real quick. And then I'll figure out how I feel. Usually there is like edits to these hand by the ass. Oh, that's what we need to get the edits for. I think we, I guess we both say no. No asshole. I'm gonna say she's the, no, not the asshole. Do you get a bell if you're not the asshole or does it not matter? You get a bell every time. I feel like we get a, you're not the asshole because we're ringing in. We're ringing in the good news. Good. Am I the asshole for wanting to name our son, Kazuma? Kazuma, wait, Kazuma. That's hilarious already. I hope they're white. Kazuma, we're talking, are we talking Kazuma Sato like from, from. Yes. So that's the main character of, we're talking, we're talking the guy who steals underwear. Yeah. Oh, from fucking, this just got nuanced. Yeah, yeah, yeah, from KotoSuba. Yeah, yeah, they want, they want to name their, their son after an emcee who uses the ability steal to steal girls underwear. I'm assuming it's Kazuma Sato. That's the most famous Kazuma in anime. It is. My wife wanted to give our upcoming son a unique name. She kept suggesting things like Sephiris or Rapparota. That is not, that is T-Y-S-E-P-H-E-R-O-U-S. I think I crushed it with Sephiris. That is a British disease. This is like, this wiped out towns in the 1700s. Tiferous? Ticephorus, that's what it is. Ticephorus. Ticephorus or Rapparota. I feel like if these are the names on the table, then no, you're not the asshole. Can I ask you another M-I-the-asshole post from her? How about trying to name her child after Eldritch Gods? I suggested the name Kazuma after Kazuma Sato, the main protagonist of the anime Konosuba. I picked that name because I think the character is someone I want my son to be like when he grows up. My wife, not knowing where the name came from, fell in love with it, uh-oh, and told all of our family we were naming our son Baby Kazuma. All was well until I have to assume they're Japanese. Because if you're like a white couple and you're like my son's name is Sasuke, then you're making a mistake. There's no way this is a Japanese couple. The only race of people who could look at a baby and go Ticephorus, that's white, that's crystal white woman. That's fucking like, this is a white-ass couple. All was well until I was watching some Konosuba in the living room. In the living room was your first mistake. Oh yeah, fucking Konosuba on the big TVs and shorts. How about Am I the Asshole for watching Konosuba in the family living room? In the proximity of like a person with a fully formed frontal lobe. In one of the characters, Megumin said Kazuma, Kazuma. She had a look of horror after hearing that and immediately googled Kazuma and found out he's from the anime. She was furious and said, how could you not tell me? I told her that Konosuba was a light novel before it was an anime and many famous names have come from books like Alice. That's cheating. That's cheating. Like in Wonderland? I don't think Alice was a like original unique name. So the guy who made Alice in Wonderland was like, I have a crazy idea for a name here. It's five letters. There's Alice in it. Can you look that up? Was Alice in Wonderland made from, there's no way. There's no way. Where did the name- He should have picked Daenerys. We shouldn't take the guy who's trying to name his child, Kazuma, on face value for his facts. Therefore, it's not at all strange to name our son after a character from a book. After that, she seems to have calmed down, but it's still upset that I didn't tell her that before she told all of our family and now wants to pick a different name. Am I the asshole? The name Alice originates from the old French name Alice, which is diminutive of the Germanic name Adelhaedius. It means noble or of noble kind and is derived from Germanic elements. Alice is just a name, Chad is saying. Yeah. Yeah. What a charlatan. What? I didn't feel like, listen, names, Harry. Oh, you like the name Harry? Came from Harry Potter. Check and mate. Yeah, that's so funny. I think both of these are bad people. I'd like to, like, I, first off, the guy who wants their child to grow up like Kazuma, the literal character whose show is dedicated around putting him in situations where he's about to get what he wants, and then he gets blown out of like the water because he's a bad person. Kazuma's a bad person. That's why Konosuba is funny, because like, he gets put in these situations where Isakai protagonists would usually be like, they do super well for themselves because even though they're bad people, the story's always still good to them, the reason Konosuba, even though it is unacceptably cringe and fucking weird sometimes, is like, I love it so much is because it doesn't ever give Kazuma the break he thinks he deserves. That's good. Like they treat him like an always sunny character. Like he's a bad person, so his life is not good. That's good. Yeah. You don't want your child to be like Kazuma, but you also don't want your child's name to be Tyserphoris. Tyserphoris? That's so funny. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Also, I- She was already trying to name her child after a Gen 9 Pokemon. Like, I don't know why she can't be upset about this being an anime name. Rapparelta. Yeah, that is- Wow, you're fucking- You aced it with Gen 9 Pokemon. You're right about that. Look, not to victim blame, but I think it's wild to not be like, oh, where'd you get that name from? Like, are they just making up sounds? Like, is Rapparelta not something? It sounds like a Sonic character. I- I'm telling you. Look up Rapparelta. I- Tyserphoris, I is- R-A-P-R-E-L-T-A. Rapparelta. I'm giving you that one because Tyserphoris is too long to spell. You know what- you know what just popped up when I typed in Rapparelta? The Reddit post for Am I the Asshole. It's the only- That is the only, the only. So I guess she thought they were just making shit up. I guess. Based off your query, the most relevant turn is Rapplesta, which is a medical food chewable wafer designed for the management of vitamin D deficiency. Ah, yes. My beautiful baby boy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The body of- Bidmin'. Yeah, I was gonna say the body of Christ here. Like what's happening? Um, he's the asshole. You're an asshole. Yeah, I would say so. But here's the thing. So is your wife. I like- you're both bad. You- I listen. You're both too quirky for this world. 100%. You're too- like just name or name kid. The name you're- Name your kid. Name your kid name. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Name your kid. Probably would be better. Name your kid Nick and move on. Yeah. Um, Am I the Asshole for me to get upset at my husband for shipping to anime? Characters. I mean- This could go many ways. Oh wait, wait, wait. Am I the asshole for getting upset at my us- Wait, so she's upset at her husband for shipping anime characters? Yeah. This could go one of many ways. It could go multiple ways here. My husband, 28 male, cheated on me, 22 female a year ago. This is a hot- Wait, I'm burying the lead. What? Um, I didn't find out till early this month, but he genuinely is cut it off, and we've taken steps to get over that. I know everyone has their own opinions on cheating, but personally, I believe in second chances. Anyways, in all caps, the girl he cheated on me with looked exactly like his sister. Is this going to be about anime soon? I- I'm assuming it's going to be like he ships a- Like a brother and a sister from anime, right? I like the idea that she's just like, dumping all of this like pent up aggression on him, and she's like, also, he always double parks. This fucking asshole is always burning all of my bread and then putting it back in the loaf. Anyway, he ships Zutara. Am I the asshole? Anyways, he thinks that Bakugo and Deku should end up together. He- Listen, he was fucking my mom, and then he has the audacity to tell me that Bakugo and Deku should have ended up together. It's just an excuse for her to like unload all of his sins on the internet. Yes, it's not that the r slash mha fandom was going to be the most sympathetic to her qualms. Um... It definitely wasn't, but they could be twins without similar they look. Well, it obviously- oh, yeah, well, I would assume it wasn't his sister. I thought it would be a bigger- it'd be a bigger problem if it was his sister. Um, when I mentioned that he got- Oh, when I mentioned that, he got upset saying, you're trying to push incest when I wasn't. It's not my fault they looked the same and he made advances. Now, yesterday, exactly, we were talking about Demon Slayer and which characters we shipped together. Uh-oh. He said he ships Nezuko and Tanjiro. For those who haven't seen it, they are siblings. To each- by the way, there's a whole like second half of this story. He's the asshole already. She is no- she is not the asshole. All the context removed, he is still the asshole for shipping Tanjiro and Nezuko. I think we killed this guy. I think we have to do like a pre-meditated, pre-emptive fucking like a letter chair on this guy who cheated on his wife, who six years is younger, who is fucking- is- is trying to bang women who look like his sister and is shipping Tanjiro, the child, with his younger sister who is- who can turn into either a older-looking woman or a much, much smaller, younger-looking child. Look at the rest of this be about. Like, why would you need to explain any more? To- to each their own, well, hold on. You're giving this- you're throwing this guy too many bones. Oh my god, she's like, I believe in second chances. Yeah. That's- we're on seven. Uh, to each other own, but I was taught incest is wrong and something to be shunned. It's an anime. I don't really care if people ship them together. It's not real life, but after knowing he cheated with someone who looks like his sister, I got upset. It just doesn't sit right with me that he ships siblings in fiction and did stuff with someone who looks like his own sibling. Am I wrong for being upset? He sure thinks I am. He got mad that I was mad about it, but when I told him why and explained how that was too coincidental, he didn't say anything. He shut up until I apologized to him. What a technique. You shut up until the other person apologizes? That's never worked for me. I never- I never, for one stuff, I could do the silent game. I thought that was gender locked. I thought that- I thought you had to download a DLC for that one. I thought that was a passive. Yeah. Um, until I apologized to him, uh, which I only did so we could stop pouting and we could move on. Even though I know it's still eating me. So just looking for a third party input, please and thank you. This woman is a saint. I like- I don't- I- that is like- that is like monk level, but she's like I'm- Oh my god. Yeah. She- he- oh, what? I listen- we've had a couple of coin flips here over the last two. This is the most clear cut. Am I- I hope she was all over these comments. Because there's not- there's no way there's a singular person. This sounds like a made up anime- like a like antagonist. Do you think people have ever done an Am I the Asshole? And then after getting some replies, will like have their significant other react to the sub- the replies? I guarantee you most people do that. Really? If the comments swing your way, could you imagine the power? Cause like I would never do this to do a thing, cause like she's never been an asshole to me at all. But like if you were in a deeply, deeply toxic relationship like this one is, um- Have you pointed at me? I thought you were like, like yourself. You know all about it. Uh, if you were in a- in a relationship with a man who cheated on you, with somebody who looked like a sister, and then was also like, If you ship Tondra and Ezuko, keep that to your fucking self. Yeah, what do you do? How do you have the level- the lack of self-awareness to like look at your significant other and be like, you know that little sister of his in that box? I- I wish they'd kiss. That's- and I thought that- I thought that was fake. I thought that- I thought that like because like there's like memes about like, Oh like the- the demon slayer fandom's so gross that people ship Nesca. I thought that we were making that up. In the same way, I'm sure a lot of people thought they were making up that you fucked your body pillows. Yeah, yeah. To- to look at your significant other and be like, I- I feel that way frequently with the anime community. I'm shaking. I'm- I'm so angry I'm shaking. Where people are like, the my hero fandom's the worst fandom ever. And because I don't like engage with it a ton, I'm like, I don't know about that. I'm not like deep into my hero, like I'm not deep into my hero like 4chan threat. I feel like you're not you, like the royal you. I feel like you're always on one side of a fandom. Where it's like you're either seeing all of the vitriol or none of it. And you're like, everyone's chill here. Because anytime I do a video where I'm like, Oh, this person's getting dogged by their community or like, this fandom is railing into so and such. I'll see a bunch of comments where people are like, no one was sending them death threats. No one was railing into them. It was constructive criticism. And I'm like, oh no, you just missed the death threats. Like they're there. You just need to be like in the toxic end of the algorithm. Yeah. I feel like ranked based matchmaking. I know it's like it's like behavior based. Yeah. You know when you're like like cheating or you like quit a bunch and you like, they send you to the worst players. Yeah, you're in losers queue. I feel like this constantly in all relationship. Because you're like, you'll walk in. You'll be like, you'll be like, oh, you won't believe what happened. Like you'll be like, oh, like everyone hates avatar or something. I'm like, what? I'm like, oh, the amazing digital circus has been canceled. And I'm like, I don't know what to do. And I don't like, I haven't heard any of this. Yeah. And it's not tapped into all of the drama that I am and I'm frequently tapped in. Yeah. And I've, my best boy this week is when you hold down on a video and press not interested because I've just been like so under overwhelmed with like every, every other day, the last three weeks has been like a chain link of like some celebrity fucking up and then 40 responses of it. And I'm like, I just missed when it was like Mr. Boom Bastic. And it's like, I haven't gotten a single non like scrolling for like 90 like 90 swipes and you finally get your mistake. When you watch it for like 10 minutes to tell the algorithm this is what you want. Dude, in like three weeks, I haven't gotten a single video that wasn't in line with like, here's why Billie Eilish should be murdered. I don't get those at all. It's pretty like it ruins your mood for sure. Well, yeah, that being said, most of mine are like people making vague death threats about like rushing the wash like wash like rushing Washington, DC. They're like, if enough of us fucking ran to the lawn, we'd probably do okay. So like mine are less like, you know, celebrities and more like our public servants probably need to die. All right. Number four. Oh, so the asshole. The asshole. The asshole. Yeah. The asshole. Um, am I the asshole for spoiling an anime after a girl used me as a meal ticket? I don't even know what that is. I don't like the way that this has been like, I'm already leaning towards yes, because he was like a girl used to be as a meal. That is that's a that's a beige flag for me. You know, not beige. That's not orange. Orange flag for me. Uh, I'll keep things very short. I'll keep things very short and straightforward. I male 25 recently matched with this girl female 23 on a dating site. I thought she was cute. We had similar interests. So I took my shot. We chatted for a few days by phone and ended up going out on a date. She looked really pretty in person, even better than the picture than the picture. Surprisingly, we got along very well. What? Oh, why is that surprise? I don't like the way that that was phrased either. I like there's something. The fucking saxophones are getting louder as we go through this. The fedora is lowering. Yeah. Hey, like, when do we she was actually kind of cute. We got along pretty well. I took her so I took her somewhere pretty fancy and expensive. I paid for the both of us. I was getting that. I can look like nothing has been said bad yet. But it's like, you know, when you're having a conversation with somebody, you can feel yourself careening towards like, oh, we're not going to get along. And we chatted for a good few hours. I learned she was a fan of Attack on Titan, but she just started watching the series relatively recently. So I avoid discussing most things since I finished the series a while back. Yeah, I wed the manga. It's not a big deal. I wed it in its original Japanese. I speak a little bit of Nihondes. We agreed to meet on a second date and things leading up to that were very good, i.e. we texted each other regularly, etc. Second date parentheses after I paid. She dropped on me that she has a BF. God damn it. Don't make me like the twist. God damn it. Don't make me don't make me like this guy parentheses, but they're taking a break. And she didn't want things to escalate with us beyond a friendship. Interesting. I accepted this as arguing. I accepted this as arguing this sort of thing seemed point. Oh, I see. I accepted this as arguing this sort of thing seemed pointless in my mind. She kept on stressing that she wanted us to stay friends and that she really liked me, but whatever. Later that night, I accidentally happened to text her major spoilers of Attack on Titan. You're like, you're like, I still want to be friends. I still want to be friends. And you're like, Aaron wanted to be friends with Mikasa, but she cut his head off. You're like, what? She responded by telling me that I had sent spoilers and I apologized saying something like I forgot. Am I the asshole? I don't think he care. I here's my thing. I'm going to say he is the asshole specifically because I don't think he actually cared that he texted spoilers. I think he used him texting spoilers to her as an excuse to bitch about the fact that he got used as a meal ticket. I see. Yeah, he isn't actually on the fence about it. He's just yeah, the last because it doesn't sound like she freaked out about it. She was like, hey, you sent me spoilers, which is a good look. That's a fine thing to take somebody being like, hey, remember when Aaron's head was attached to his shoulders? Yeah. Not anymore. Yeah. The last couple of these have seemingly been people like looking for genuine like romantic advice because they're at a crossroads. This dude was giggling while typing this. 100%. So yeah, I guess you are the asshole, but also what it seems to me, you're not the asshole for sending the spoilers. You're the asshole for like being like, oh, this girl isn't allowed to be conflicted about coming out of a long term relationship and like I paid. It's like you probably should have told him ahead of time. Right out the gate. If you're like going on a date, even if you're like polyamorous, most I would I have heard it is weird to be on a date with somebody while on a break with your significant other and not bring that up. And not tell them because if you're on a break, the single and so long, the insinuation is that like you're going to get back with that partner. If you're on a date with someone who's looking for something monogamous and long term, then you are lying to them. You are kind of using that person. I also don't know what the like circumstances of him paying was like if she was like, can you cover this meal? Then I guess he had is this like, I'm the man and I'm on the state. I need to pay that it's not her fault you offered to pay. No, for sure. If she's like, oh, let's get the check and you're like, no, no, no, let me then it's like, then you're not allowed to be an asshole about it. Exactly. But yeah, if you're like on a break or an amnogamate or a polyamorous relationship and dating, you got to tell the person your situation. Because like that person's not on the person's looking at you as a potential partner. I don't know. This is a tough one. I guess they're both assholes. That's is that kind of the prognosis we all fucking land on tonight is that we hate everyone. I can't get everyone an asshole. Everybody, if you're posting on Am I the asshole inherently, there is a little there's a higher capacity for you to be an asshole. I think the the one. Okay. Number one, my boyfriend using the body pillow. She's not the asshole. She's not the asshole. Number two, he is the asshole. She's not the asshole. She's also not the asshole. She's just oh wait. Wait, that's ticiferous. She is the asshole 100 percent. Okay. Number three, I am I the asshole for getting upset at my husband for shipping to anime? No, no, no, no, no, that is a that is like it's am I the asshole split to people who are the asshole and legitimate victims of abuse? That is it is a it is a 90 10 fucking ratio. Yeah. Um, all right, that was fun. Cool. All right, we're going to do the last three here for Patreon, but unless you guys are a member of the Patreon, you won't be hearing those ones. So if you do want to come right now, do we can do them at the end? Do you want to do it? Yeah, I guess this makes sense. Yeah, right. I keep on the juices flowing here. You can remember the Patreon for four, nine to nine a month. You can get all the beautiful content that me and Danny have put on there hours and hours and hours of additional content of Nick and Danny time, which is going to be a lot more games nowadays, the continuations of games because like I said, we're restructuring. So let's get into five through seven. Okay. On to the pod. On to the pod. All right. Welcome back, everybody. Man, those were the three best and my assholes we've ever done. Me and Danny actually disagreed on one. Yeah, we disagreed. We got into it, ladies and gentlemen. We listen. Me and Danny, you know, we might have different my opinions on what love means. Okay, well, hold on. Whoa, what it feels to be physically loved. I'm trying to do some fucking trying to do some hype here. Daniel. Yeah, I got you. It was like it was tense. I'm sweating. Oh, it is hot. Yeah. It's just it is just hot in here in general. Anytime we disagree, I sweat a little. That's fair. I run a game of am I the asshole every single week during every subject? Yes. Yeah, it's a coin flip genuinely. So we have five anime to talk about today. And if you're thinking Nick five, where'd five come from? They're talking about four animics. Invincible is gone. My hero academia came back with its last ever episode, the adaptation of the additional content with the final release of its final volume, something that a lot of us didn't even know we're going to get and tell what a week ago. They were just like, oh, hey, by the way, we're doing an OVA. It's going to be 23 minutes long. It's going to be cute. Is it is it fluffer content to try and make all the fans who are like, I want to know what number everybody is, you know, a little bit happier 100%. But yes, so that's our fifth anime outside of that. We also have marriage toxin with Storia, which had a telier and daemons of the shadow realm. What was our worst episode of the week? Daemons? No, I'd say was Storia. Storia, I fucking I can't read you on this show. I can't read myself on this show anymore. I guess it is a story. I don't know what the goddamn plot of this story is anymore, dude. And what's wild is that you and me are so contrary to the public opinion of Storia. Really? People are loving it. Last episode, everyone's like, I loved when Will turned into Sephiroth. And I was like, what do you mean you love? I okay. Up cool. I got 9.6 and IMDB. It was the worst episode yet. So I didn't think it was the worst. I like when the guy had a hole in him. I like like the teacher had a hole in him. Yeah. He was like slumped against us like a building still alive somehow. Look, it's definitely stupid that will that will gets like a silver the hedgehog form. The fifth magical element. Yeah. I think it's silly will gets a silver the hedgehog form. I think it's silly will gets a silver the hedgehog form and that like yet again in anime refuses to commit to the like, oh, he actually has no magic bit. But like it's fun in a dumb way. Even took it one step further and it's like, oh, he has magic. It's he's the chosen one. Yeah. Which they did it in Black Clover. They did it in Naruto. Like the kid who lags behind always ends up being the second coming of Christ. And then we'll have to be like, well, of course we always do it. This show has become indistinguishable from Black Clover to me. It's just it's just a boy flying around with a gigantic differing sword every single arc. He's got anti magic. He's cutting through magic absorbing swords and all that, which is literally the plot of the elf arc, mind you, Black Clover. Have you are you caught up with Black Clover's anime? That makes sense. And the first four minutes of this episode are a character we barely know in the blonde child who's apparently 500 years old talking to a witch queen or something that we've never seen before who's holding a baby who we've never seen before. And they're like, oh, they're going to all of this has been a prologue and they're tearing down the full sky or something like that. I don't I'm so lost. I miss when the show was about a boy with no magic who made everybody trust him because of his ability to persevere. Yeah. And that was like it was it was all the best parts of Harry Potter and at a lovable MC, the power system made sense. There was dungeons and all of that. It had it didn't redefine anything. It was a very basic story with a very basic premise. But the MC was likable and the characters around him were likable. And now it's just magical power scaling nonsense. It I mean, what story has always been like magic slop to me. This is bad. This to me is magic. And it's just still that. So I'm not that like rattled by it. I'm not like excited week to week. Yeah. But I do like I don't know. It's the same thing with like daemons and like Togan Anki where it's like the more bullshit nonsense they introduce, the better because at least I'll find it funny. Yeah. Like I love in this episode when she the ice which walks out on the Alpharia walks out on the balcony and she's like, I'm just looking. Whoops. And then I thought she bisected will with the biggest I was like, oh, hey, there's probably better ways of getting him a magical sword than orbital striking him with it. I get that he's in his supersonic form right now. Maybe don't ice nuke him. I know she hit him with the hammer of dawn from Gears of War gets a bigger sword gets arguably the biggest sword. But what's funny is he gets the biggest sword and then cuts the demon so close to the Hilt. Yep. Wastes 70% of the sword's length. I then extend. No, look, like, like, like he's a lady. What's the ice which from Elden Ring? She's got that spell. She's got all of like, if you're an intelligence warrior built in Elden Ring. Lady Ronnie. Lady Ronnie is like using her ice sword looking Stendo makes the sword massive busts out an ice mansion, cuts down a million, whatever they are. And then he's just using high level ice magic. Yeah. I was like, this show wants to be a video game so bad. Oh my God. Like he's literally like popping his old. It felt like I was watching solo leveling arise. Yes. That mobile game. The way he like summoned an ice castle and then a bunch of bullshit nonsense. I just stabbed all of the things and it's like, what does this have to do with swords anymore? Yeah. And that's pretty much all that happened. Do you feel like it's moving too fast? This felt like it was the end of the series. I thought that because they played off like it's the end of the series. They're like, they're like, then this is the end of the prologue at the end of the episode. And then there's a four minute, the end of the episode is like a four and a half minute. Like you remember the last 16 episodes? I'm like, yeah, we're 16 episodes into the show. Yeah. Every all of his classmates like ran out and did the classic anime like get it. Well, like even his rivals. And I was like, this is pretty hype. But like, I don't know if we're doing this like 16 episodes in like this feels like you should come 40 episodes. We just got these guys on our side here. Now they're already like, that's our dude. And mind you, they're all this episode is so all over the place, which is like how I feel about with story right now, where all of them are like, we've all been, we've all been mean to the no talent his entire life. How could we ever support him right now? He's a laggard, a no match. They're all calling him like magical slurs. And then they're like, how could we possibly, I'm like, hey, if you guys are worried about being mean to him, maybe stop calling him like a no magic slur. They're all like, they're all like, still like hurling insults at him. We're trying to figure out how to be nice to him. Yeah. Learn his name, maybe call him will. It's easy to remember. Um, the only reason I think I'm higher on this than you is because it's careless. Well, I care less. I like season one a lot. Like with story meant a lot to me where I was like, dude, the power fantasy, like zero talent is like zero to hero story is so back. Will's a likable MC. And now it's just nonsense. Well, also, I like that it's like end of prologue. Because I'm wondering if it's going to be like ideally a good promise neverland where they're like, all season one is in the factory. Or in the orphanage. And you think that's the whole show. And then they leave it and you're like, Oh, no, that was like the tutorial. And the rest of the show is something like you had no idea about. It's like Berserk too, where you're like or attack on Titan. Yeah, kind of. Yeah. Attack on Titan as well. Like I like the idea that like everything we've seen so far is not at all indicative of what the show actually is. Yeah. Now it is just a matter of if the rest of the show is. And the whole universe has like been specifically tailored to get Will to rise to a new kind of power and he has to use that. But then it just becomes like a celestial power scaling anime. It's like, Oh, there's a bunch of gods and demons out there and we'll ask to destroy him with his brand new godlike powers. According to longer readers, we're about to get crazy shit apparently. So that's cool. Also, someone was like, I'm glad they acknowledged everyone else loved it and got a 9.8 on IMDB. That's insane. That I got higher than witch hats. Like episode of the year. Witch hats like, Oh, this is the most gorgeously animated piece of fiction I've ever seen in my life. Yeah, that's crazy. I don't know. It just felt like so much bullshit out of nowhere in too soon for me. Like I just don't understand. I like maybe we're old men yelling at clouds here. Like maybe we're jaded and maybe maybe we're not like the demo. I mean, we don't watch re zero. We don't watch a lot of the Isakai stuff. And maybe it's getting too Isakai in for us. But like, I just, I just, I can't buy. Hey, Will is this fifth element baby fostered for 500 years? It's just maybe we're jaded. Maybe maybe we're bad at the like, you know, no talent arc anime, but I just, I can't buy it. Yeah, I don't know. Let me see. I'm looking at the episodes and their IMDB season two. Yeah, 9.6 for both episode three and episode four and witch hats. Episode five got like an 8.9. That's insane to me. Wild. What are the votes? Like how many votes are we talking about? Like, because which hat is definitely more popular than Wastoria? Like 3.5 thousand for Wastoria. Which hat is at, oh, 9.4. Yeah. So it's so like three times. Three times more popular. Which makes sense. Three times as many votes, it makes sense. There's going to be more negative 100%. I just also can't imagine interacting with Wastoria and not Wastoria with a witch hat and being like, Oh, this wasn't good. Like that's yeah, I can't imagine going into it looking for something and not finding that. Yeah. Like I can imagine going into hell of a boss or, you know, like the amazing digital circus or something like that and be like, oh, like, like, like there's, I understand that there's like a portion of people out there that dislike it before they even interact with it. Wastoria or wait, no. Witch hat atelier. It's two magical anime coming out in the same season. Both that start with W. I, there's nothing in which hat where you can point out and be like, oh, I hate it because of this. I know. Well, that's what I mean. It's like after watching the trailer for Witch hat, it gives you everything you should be expecting. It is like, I can't imagine going into and being like, I was hoping for blank and I didn't get that. Yeah. I thought there's going to be a crazy action shown in anime and it's like, no, not at all. Dude, the Wastoria, like, what do you call it? The Wastoria summaries. Crunchyroll's back at it again. In terms of just spoiling exactly what's going to happen or what? Just in spoiling the entirety of the fucking episode. And they do it in like two and a half sentences to it. Like it's impressive how quick they can summarize everything. Here's a witch hat atelier summary for this episode. On a rainy day, the imprentices enjoy a picnic outside and meet their watchful eye. Quick, ominous. Like you don't really get a lot out of it. What's a watchful eye? Yeah, exactly. What's a watchful eye? It's a rainy day, but like there's so much more happening. Yeah. Here we go. Wastoria summary for season two, episode five. Will Sephiroth, he gets a nice sword from Otharia and the prologue is over. Any other questions? Guided by Finn, Will awakens the power sleeping within him. Inveloped in a silvery light, he slashes through the monsters in the capital, targeting the Devander. He faces the mage slayer wielding monster alone. The other students are moved as they watch Will. Someone they scorned do battle. With their cheers at his back, Will presses the fight, but the Devander's attack breaks his sword into. I really genuinely think they had AI summarize the whole episode and then just put half of it in. Because it just stops at a, like it perfectly summarizes every beat until his sword breaks. It's like 12. Which happens like halfway through the episode. Literally what the cut to commercial, like when they do a little like cut away and then come back, is his sword breaking. Isn't that crazy? That's nuts. Yeah, they're like summarized the first 12 minutes. That is beat for beat. Exactly what happens. They even describe the like his form, the silvery light. That's why. Why would they even do that? They're like, well, we didn't spoil the whole episode. You spoiled the first 13 minutes of it. Yeah. That's crazy. Anyway. That's so funny. Yeah. I mean, Wastoria's, it's fine. You know what this is? You know what Wastoria is this season? It's Hell's Paradise. It's suffering. It's suffering. Hell's Paradise is so much better. I'm so much higher on that. 100% is. But like, all right. This season isn't as good as last season, right? So like Hell's Paradise existed to JJK and to Freerun as Wastoria. No, because honestly, which had to tell you, it could bang with Freerun. And like, I would say that like, if you had to choose actually from this year, and you're like, and just based off five episodes, Freerun, JJK or Wichata Tellier, only one can stay. What would you get rid of? Well, JJK feels like it's cheating because it's three seasons. There's so much it's built on. That's very. You'd have to be like the first five episodes of season one of JJK. You know what I mean? Yeah. I know how you feel about that season. It's not even. I know exactly what you would get. Yeah. It gets nuked for sure. But it doesn't have a soft talking cute little blue-headed girl. If it's the first five episodes of all three of those series, it's Wichat for sure. It does have Miwa. I think Wichat has the best first five episodes of those three series. And episode five of Freerun is Stark killing that dragon. That's honestly. But episode five of Wichat is episode five of Wichat, which is also killing a dragon. This week is also episode six, right? Yeah. Okay. So yes. So episode five would be the gigantic, key free water dragon like splitting the clouds. Oh my God. It wouldn't be JJK. It's not JJK. You're right. That's that's a correct assumption. I don't even know if we get the June pay by episode five. It's like seven. It's like around that area where we get the June pay, not much happens in the first five episodes. It's mostly just like Gojo beating the piss out of Sukuna. Um, Yuji dies. Yuji fights the Abraham from Hellboy. And he gets, he gets in chains. And yeah, he gets his heart back. That's his hand cut off. Yeah. Yeah. That's, and then there's like the special finger bearer kind of thing. That's those are throwaway episodes. Freerun has episode one and episode five. Episodes two, three and four aren't that great. Yeah. Which had a telly a has episode one, which is awesome. And also the one where she makes the big kite is good. That's, yeah. That's episode three. And then episode five is a legitimate masterpiece. It is which had a telly a. It's been gas the whole time. It's been all very good. So like, Westoria is way worse than which had a telly a, but also on account of the fact that they're two anime that are roughly similar, right? Like not like, they're not like similar, similar, but it's like, oh, magical school kind of thing. And it's like, oh, there's dark magicians and they're trying to ruin everything. And there's forbidden magic and that kind of thing. It's getting so trounced by which had a telly a. And not also it's getting trounced by its own, its own first season. Because own first season is bleeps and bounds better than what's happening right now. Yeah. I mean, again, we are old men screaming at the sky. Season one of Westoria, no episode in that season hits 9.6. It probably is even hit nine. I'd imagine. Yeah. Like wasn't. So I mean, this is this is a rant for truly nobody, just so you know. Wow. So temper the length of it. I that's I okay. I'll shut and or the fuck up. I'm just saying season one of Westoria is like a 7.6. That's crazy. The highest rating is an 8.9. People love this season. No one is going to listen to this segment. You know, that's just nuts. We are always, but we're never wrong. We're just too early. We'll see. Yeah. We'll we'll we'll lock it in. Sell Westoria. Sell Westoria. It's not Westoria right now. Yeah. Your stock value is through the roof and I hope a lot of that stock. How do you feel about I don't know if it's the second worst. How do you feel about Damon's? I really liked this episode because you get more. I we got some more. We got a lot of them. I got the I got the hang out with the hair in the in the tortoise. I got to do all of that. I also like that we're introducing moral ambiguity in terms of like who's right. Is it the Kage Mori or is it Higashi Village? And it's like, oh, like you're like, oh, like Austin's talking about how like Higashi Village sent assassins to kill her and to kill all of the Kage Mori. But it's also like you guys wiped out Higashi Village. There was a girl just gobbling like innocent women and children just blowing people away. And it's like, oh, well, Austin didn't kill any of the women and children. It's like that doesn't mean you didn't roll in there with AR. It's like you guys use fucking like advanced like military weaponry on a on a non-civilized village. And so there's a lot of moral ambiguity here. We're starting to introduce like Gin or Gin or whatever his name is. There's the blonde guy who has the tortoise and the hair. There's the guy who's like, whose day months are so big they can't get into the parking. That was sick. The fuck was that about? I'm sure at one point it will be introduced. And like we're getting like this kind of like stare up between Yoru and Gin. We're just like, well, I didn't try to cut too deep on you because I I realized we're trying to kill me. And so we're getting like that. He's like that fish would have fucked me up if it wanted to. 100%. Like I just straight up would have died. It's like you got put in teeth prison, not in teeth death. Yeah. So also we learn his daemons aren't fish and lure. It's swallow and spit. Yeah. It's like fish and smaller fish, which is broken. Well, the like duality is like, uh, like devour and regurgitate. Yeah. It's something like that. He calls them. I agree. Having a daemon and the big fish is fucked up. It's so broken. Too many. He can literally, he can swallow everything. He's like everything it swallows. I can reproduce it any given moment. Yeah. It's that gross little worm. Toji. And then he was talking about like, oh, it's great for terror attacks. Did you catch that? He was like, it's good for like assassinations and terror attacks. And I was like, are you guys the good guys or not? Is there a good sneak guns past security? And I was like, okay. Dude, thank first of all, that guy sick as hell. That's a great power. Very creative. Yes. Thank God for the second half of this episode though. Because in the first half, I was like, what are we doing here guys? We got to get moving. We're on episode like five and we're still introducing people. I think it's six. And it's the cast is huge though. Cast is huge. I like meeting the new daemons. I like that like turtle or tortoise has a rivalry with left. And hair has a rivalry with right. That's fun. And I like when they're being fawny and light and stuff like that. But it was a lot of like someone being like, yeah, don't worry. We can just take the elevator down elevator. Oh yeah. That's right. Uh, it's like a box with a bunch of chains that lower you down. It's the whole show. The whole show is your being like a civilization. It's not. It's like we could have done 12 minutes of this. I like do respect the commitment to it because the second Yoru is like, Hey, call him on your phone. I'm like, how the fuck does he know what a phone is? You know, but I like that he was like, you have that the smoke signal long distance thing. I was like, I like that he still has like a rudimentary understanding of like advanced technology. It doesn't have to be the center talking point to every episode. Yeah. I appreciate the commitment to an eye. Appreciate the consistency. And I like that he's not like Thor dumb. Where he's like calling a raccoon a rabbit. You know, like someone shows him what a cell phone does. Two episodes later, he's like, Hey, you have that thing that calls people. Right. You know, like he learns. Um, but yeah, it was just like meeting people and kind of slow. And I hit a point where I'm like, I still don't know what this fucking show is about. Like we don't have an antagonist or an antagonist organization because we're like befriending Asa now. So I was like, once we become friends with Asa, what the fuck is this show about? That's I think it's about realizing that he got you. Village is the problem. Well, we're about we're getting attacked now. Yes. And so now she's kicking in the gear. We have a yin and yang daemon, which is sick. It's not really established at the yin and yang, but like they very clearly are. Look at them. They're black and white commas flying through the air. Yeah. And they swirl. Yeah. They swirl. They have awesome whatever this manga because name is style grins. Like this, the truth. It's the truth grin. You know, yes. Yeah. These daemons were where I'm like, Oh, she's so back. Like this manga because so cooking right now loves little hands and big teeth. Yeah. We got that. We got another pair of like really big daemons that don't fit in a doorway. Well, the ones from the bald guy were those his I gobble girl. She's in. No, they're not because gobble girl's resting because her legs fucked up. And then she sees two like massive daemons in her door. And one of them. I don't know you. One of them was Nina Tucker. Yeah, that's right. They were. Yeah, it was fucking Nina and Tucker. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Um, transfigure and I get less if you did by death. It's Nina and Alexander. Yeah. Well, actually it would be it would be what it would be. Fucking scar had both arms scar like the put together and take apart arm. Right. I forgot he has tattoo. He is fucking alchemistry tattoos. Yeah, I forgot about that. Yeah. He did have destroy and create. Yes. Yeah. That'd be that'd be kind of sick. That'd be sick. They did it. She did it. Yeah. Already. You mean like one that's destroying one that's one that's destroying one that's create. There's no way that wouldn't be like those God right. Yeah. That's the one 100%. Yeah. But like equal in exchange. Equivalent. Our equivalent in exchange. Yes. Good. I like the idea that equivalent is just like going around and somebody's like like like, oh here have some blueberries and they give them like an unequivalent amount and equivalent just like takes the blueberries and evens it like they have OCD about it. You know what it would be scales. Yeah. He'd be scales. He'd be fucking kid death or death the kid. Oh we got a comment the other day about about what my daemon would be and it was ranked and explained which is genius. Yeah ranked and explained that would be rad. That's very good. But yeah I actually very much enjoyed this episode the closing battle where like Yoru's busted out the arrow and just blowing people away with it. That was pretty sick. How does this end this ends on like a cool cliffhanger right. We get a bunch of we get an exposition dump about how daemons can die if their master dies and nobody ever claims them again. Yep. They die after like a couple centuries. Decades to hundreds of years. Yeah. He's like so don't really worry about it too much. Daemon. And they're like and the rabbits like oh this is why we protect like we prioritize protecting our masters and I was like I feel like that should have been a thing you were doing anyway except for being real. Also your master is going to die in like 100 years so it's like which is why they have to be passed on to somebody new. Oh I guess so. Yeah. This ends in like a cool way. He has arrows like flying towards yin and yang. And they animated the fucking shit. Thing was wiggling dude. It was like the bush buddy from which hat. The brush buddy. The brush buddy. The bush buddy. The bush buddy. Very different. Very. That we're talking about. It was a thing on his shoulder. That was like they hit the second tower. Bushes buddy. Sir we have to talk to you. We got to stop reading to these children. But um. Collie. Yeah dude. It. I don't know. I hope next episode is like the episode. Because it feels like shit's about to kick off. I hope so. I'm excited. I'm thinking we're going to be shifting towards like either these guys that are attacking are associated with the gashi village. Or there's some third party that's just trying to kill like daemon users. Something like that. We do need an akatsuki. We need a we need the fucking. Huh. Monkey lie. We need the monkey lie. We need something. We. We heard people talking. Yeah. Like an organization like there was one that was kind of insane. One that sounded kind of like lost. Like they sounded like the human key line. Yes. And yeah once we meet I'm just excited to meet like yin and yang's master. Yeah. Whatever Nina Tucker's master is. So yeah I'm going to. And we're just also no longer in English. That's got to be that's that's yeah. One sec. Let me make this call. Hi yeah fellas. Yeah. Buy daemons of the shadow realm. Oh. Buy daemons going up. No not not daemons. No wait no our daemons for sale. For sale. I'll take three daemons. I'll take three daemons please. Please. Oh no tangeros there. He's he's slaying them. Daemons are out. Daemons are way up. Daemons out. Daemons up. I would I wouldn't say the daemons are out yet. Well we actually are in the infinity castle. I'd actually say that we are we are rounding down on daemons. Daemons are on the way out. Start selling daemons. Why don't you buy daemons in the daemons slayer story. Mugentrain. Yeah. Because these are bad. Mugentrain well the best time to buy it was obviously season one. But the second best time. No actually you know the best time to buy it would be season three. Or what's it called. The training arc. You think so. Training arcs the best time to buy. Do you buy daemons. Yeah. Because I would say Mugentrain is the best time to buy daemons because like at the beginning of Mugentrain all the Hashirahs are alive. By the end of Mugentrain no one really important from the daemons side dies but they lose Rengoku. Our metaphors are mixed up. What are you asking. I don't think we've ever understood what buy or sell means in a stock way. This is a review sense. So I'm saying I would have bought the concept of daemons around the Hashirah training arc. Because public opinion of daemonslayer was probably at its lowest. That's fair. And so the stock was low. But Infinity Castle brings it back. Infinity Castle did really well and so it goes way back up. You buy it at Mugentrain it's high and then I'd say season two brought it even higher. But you're not making a huge profit. No it's bad. You want to buy it at season one or the Hashirah training arc. I'm playing the safe game. You know I'm trying to get it. I'm trying to get it high sell high your. I'm not buying the dip. I don't have diamond hands. That's my issue. I guess so. So right now because demons are on their way out. I sell my demons. I buy daemons. 100% buy daemons. I'm feeling optimistic about where we're heading with the show. Which is a good thing because we both love this Mugaka and I want to see her do more good stuff. How's what's the next. My hero. Yes. Yeah. Yes. We got my hero academia more. Plus what the fuck is it called. It's called SP which I think is special. Special episode. It's like they're special but the special episode was called like more or plus or something like that. I was called more. Yeah that is cool though. Yeah. I liked it. They just show more on it and I'm like that is what this is. That is 100% correct. Yes. And this is a fun episode here that is a wrap up for the story here that happens one month after the eight year time skip. So we get to see what everyone's up to as adults. Everyone's like 24 25 and the entire episode is kind of just focused around. Hey look we're all still friends guys don't be sad that Deku had to be alone for eight years. Also everyone except for great. Ped is doing really good as a hero right now. Yeah. Can I tell you my biggest takeaway for this. Swap. I watched I've watched MHA in Japanese for years probably since season two or something. Whenever we started like whenever I started as a content creator which was 2020. I started watching it weekly so I could talk about a kind of thing and it wasn't simuldub. It was never simuldub for us and I really only interacted with the dub through people meaning the dub voices. So it's been probably seven years since I've heard the actual dub voices. People are spot on online. You're wrong. I love them. People love the dub. I heard Kotski Bakugo's real 100% authentic voice. Every person who's like I'm Kotski Bakugo has nailed it. This might be the most accurate people have ever made fun of a thing in the history. Like you can't even be upset about it because they're just doing the voice. I see what you mean now and you are correct. Have you seen that meme that's like Deku on his way to his first day of U.A. And he's like he's like today I start my hero academia and he trips and he's like I'm a failure. Yes. I'm sorry mom. I'm sorry all night. Yeah. That is it's either people are incredibly talented or these voices are so intrinsically animified that anyone can do them. These are probably the most iconic dub voices. Yes. Since like Naruto. 100%. Because like no one's doing an Eren Yeager. No. You know people like Levi's voice actor in English dub but like they just think he's doing a good job. Nobody's like doing an impression of him. I'm going to be honest. Shinra. Shinra is close but Fire Force isn't popular enough. Oh Shinra. Shinra is pretty unique. He's like I'm Shinra but. Yeah. That's terrible. I tried to go high. I tried once again. There's a reason that you're trying to get multiple voice roles here and I'm only getting. I'm only getting burned down 35 year old. What do you think Shinra. I tried. Danny. I do remember remember the first episode of Fire Force where Shinra was like hello. I'm Fire Force. Fuck I'm in general. Hello. He's like they call me a demon because I smile all the time. He's like a Jack Nicholson. It's going to mean nothing to anybody but there's an episode of Blue Mountain State where Sammy starts banging a really hot girl but she has a terrible voice but she's lost her voice. You just did a fantastic impression of her. I was doing Toad but thanks. Okay. Now also Toad adjacent but closer to the BMS voice. For those of you who get it you're bad people but also I love you. Um anyway yeah fucking you don't like the dub. I like the dub. I can't. I like I thought about I was doing laundry and I was like I need to switch back to the sub because like I'm just watching like that could be like like it's the I'm a failure but also like caught like me and Lonnie walk around all the time and like we do like like MHA memes and we're like I love you you damn nerd and we're like Deku I'm carrying your children and I'm like oh I'm not as far from that voice as I could be. Bakugo is tough because he is that way the whole time. Oh and he's like literally trying and like I gotta understand why it's harder to buy his character arc in English because it's like oh it's hard to say he cares or has changed when he still sounds like this non-ironically. Yeah I wrote that this episode when they're in his car it feels like fan fiction. Yes. Like they're all 23 or whatever they're all ripped to hell they're all dripped to hell. Yeah. Bakugo's driving in his like Lamborghini GS1. In his cyberpunk R8. Yeah. He's like it's like in a Porsche like an actual Porsche with a spoiler on the back. And Deku's just like slowly fading into obscurity for no reason. Deku's getting swallowed by his weird custom sex seats in the back. And nobody ever established that. Everyone's like why do you have these seats and no one's ever establishing that he's doing the Homer meme like into these back seats. But he's like there's a line where Bakugo's like I wouldn't have even brought him along or I wouldn't even given him a ride if you didn't threaten to harden and punch holes in my new car. And I'm like that is a Watt pad line. Hunter said yes they're all being written like it was like he's like Togashi was like not Togashi. I think you're right. No Togashi's HMHA or yeah he's Hunter Hunter. Togashi's Hunter Hunter. Um here uh I don't remember. Hirakoshi. Hirakoshi like is like literally spent like months being like well how do they want the story finished. Yeah I guess. And then he was like I guess this is what they want. They want some light BL romance here. And it's like I don't say it's Watt pad like necessarily derogatorily it's more like you know I say lovingly hating. Yes. Um because I did really like this. Like this is awesome. It's very fun. It's fun to see all of your like favorite characters. It's cool to see LaMillion with a pompadour. Disagree. Boston is. LaMillion got the worst glow up. You hate. All LaMillions. You hate. Street bit is so fucking weird. It's so fucking incredible. Hey he's literally just throwing it in a circle while a bunch of kids trying to shoot him in the asshole. He's fucking tossing it back in front of a bunch of kids. They wanted it dude. They were like hey let us let us shoot you in the butt and he just gave those kids what he wanted. So like LaMillion in front of a judge. They asked him to do it. They're like you should have known not to. I love that is like ultimate move is like peach tree sympathy. Yeah and then and then Uraka the supposedly good character here levitates a little boy closer to his ass. Yeah. She's like go fucking blast him right. Yeah fucking blow yourself up. Yeah. Blow his asshole up. I do hate a pompadour ever since you. Q Bay or whatever and you you Haka shoe. You. Q. Kuba Yara. Q. Or Arba. I'm gonna give you one more. I'm gonna give you one more because I forget his name and I'm trying to remember it. I'm in the ballpark. You're close. You're getting me closer. Q. A. Bara. Q. A. Q. A. Q. Q. A. Bara. Right. A. Q. A. A. Q. It actually might be cool. Bara. Q. A. Bara. I think I'm right. Wait. Hold up. Panda mom. I like how Todoroki looked dot dot dot. Should we get in there? Cool. Bara. Cool. Bara. Yeah. Cosmo cool. Bara. I hate this fucking look. I hate laser pompadour. You hate it. You hate it on laser pompadour. You'd probably hate it on Bulot and the comic. Got killed. Yeah. Um. I love a pompadour. It's it is the most there's impossible haircuts and then there's pompadours and like they do technically exist. Like the reason that pompadours are seen in anime is because they're like a hyperboleized haircut that like bikers had in Japan in the 90s. Uh but I fucking I think it's Bulot from a comic got killed every time I see him like awesome. Um real quick I did hear that there was like controversy around Todoroki's look. People like how Todoroki looks. Let me know in the comments right now what the deal is with him. He's just the protagonist of Fire Punch. A great story like Monsters Inc. Stays with you forever and Disney Plus is where you'll find your next great story from the return of the award-winning hit series Rivals. Welcome to the naughtiest show on television. To the unmissable crime drama High Potential. Gotta dead body gotta go. A lifetime of great stories awaits this spring on Disney Plus 18 plus subscription required. T's and C's apply. Holy shit you're right. Rock up the thing. No no I know exactly what he looks like. You are 100% correct. Identical. It's like almost shocking. Um but Eda though yeah should we go through. Agni. Should we go through like who got the hottest glow-ups? That's just him. That is 100% him. That's ridiculous. I kind of love that. I think Todoroki glue the fuck up. I don't think his glow-up is as good as Octa Arms. Dople Arms whatever his fucking name is. There's no fucking world in which. A glow-up is about Delta. It's about dichotomy. All right like I said fucking Shoto turns into an older version of himself. Dople Arms gets ripped. He gets a sick slick back haircut. You will never hear a single kind thing come out of my mouth about that horse faked. Horse faked Octo Freak. About the Martin Luther King of MHA. Look we're both coming at it from a different perspective. Oh but it gets a guy who's like listen Hetero Morphs have rights to. He's in a game of horse mouth. They do they did a hundred that's why he that's why I don't have to think he's hot. I like I like what he stands for. We are us women love a man with a mask. It's why Kakashi is as popular as he is. You know what I realized this episode this the last episode. Uh-huh. Fro-Froggy. Froppy yes. Has fucked up arms. You already noticed that? No. Her arms are too long. What do you mean? I think she's a Hetero Morph. She's literally a frog. Relax. She's literally a human one. Have you literally seen her tongue? She's that's it? That's not literally a frog. That's good enough. Oh my god if Froppy went up to Octo Arms and was like I'm literally a frog he'd have some words. You you think you think they're like like all right calm down. If she went up to Birdhead Man. Yeah that's fair. He'd be like there's always a more frog. Mr. Shadows make me a demon. Let's see MHA adult. Yeah wait she's got wait hold up hold up no you're you're on the wrong side of history here. They're too short eyes too small to jawline smack. Froppy's got literal tall she has frog feet. She has she uh you think those are her actions I'm not looking up Froppy toes. I'm not you can't make me look up Froppy adult's toes. Jira looks the same yeah Jira looks the same. So it was a Kamenari they both look like identical. They gave him an earring. I love that they I decided I love that they decided to ship together two characters that nobody gives a shit about. Like Shadowboy like Shadowboy and Mushroom Girl get together and they're like what are you like oh the two least important characters from class 1b. I guess that's the bit like I really think Horikoshi has nailed this fucking story even though we have like criticisms about like its pacing towards the end but like that's so growing up like going to your high school reunion and you're like holy shit extra number 75 got with extra number 241. That is very fair you're like you never saw these like these two people who didn't talk at all in high school but also like weren't important to you or your friend group you're like oh that's nuts. Yeah I think it's crazy Sun Eater got screen time that was my like pretty bold. An astounding amount of screen time his new outfit is so sick. He's so sick he's getting eaten by it but it's very cool. I guess that's kind of the point here he's all teeth. I love how this episode opened. This episode opened in such a crazy bold way. Oorakus Dream. Where it's Oorakus PTSD. Yes. Maybe and then they maybe ruin it. One okay. Dude Horikoshi horrid all over this Koshy I think. I am very curious to hear this opinion. Because I loved the opening. Yes. Every now and then Horikoshi does something that's really cool metaphorically. Yes. And then it's like no we there's a literal crack in Shigaraki psyche that we physically with our hands open. Yeah. And that maybe happened here where it opens and Oorakus dreaming about Toga. Uh-huh. And it's like still eight years later like like her blood is still in me and it like brings to her like her memory to me like I'm saying. You're already getting into the territory of bullsh**. Ruining it. Yes. I'm starting to understand what you're talking about here. That's what I'm saying. It could just be PTSD but she's like no the actual ghost of Toga is trying to get me to bang Deku. F**k you're right. That's what I mean. I was going to say it was profound and you're right now I'm pissed. It opens and it's like wow eight years later and toa and Oorakka is still thinking about her killing Toga. That's awesome and also I love that we open the episode on this. Like I love that we spend a lot of time with Ochaaka and it's not just like all right the Deku gang is back you know. That's super cool. I love that the dream is really vague and she's like she's just haunting me. Like I'm just seeing Toga and it upsets me and I have to learn to move on from it. That's awesome. That's perfect. Then she gets into like oh her blood's in me and you know some of her is in me and this and that and I thought it was Dormant but maybe it's back. Whatever. I was okay with that because then at the end of the episode she's like this all started happening when I started seeing Deku more. Yes. And a part of me was like oh she's feeling guilty about wanting to have a life beyond her killing Toga. Because Toga didn't get to have one. Yeah like Oorakka is spending her time like helping people to the best of her ability. Like she wakes up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat and is like I have paperwork to get done. Yeah. And that's her feeling guilty about like. About Toga specifically. About Toga. Because her life work after Toga's death and after the war is court counseling. Yes. To ensure that those who are born with relatively weird quirks aren't left behind by society on account of how they were born. Exactly. It's her feeling guilty about wanting to lead a normal life. Yes. And experience happiness which is something that like a lot of people feel whether it's like their significant other dies. Yeah. And they're like. Just survivor's guilt. Yeah survivor's guilt exactly. But so then she's like oh it only started happening when Deku showed up. And in my mind it's like oh it's because Deku's appearance is triggering in her like. I want to have a relationship with him. I want to hang out with him. But I can't do that because then I'm disrespecting Toga's memory. Yeah. And there's also the aspect of like Toga like blatantly admitting being in love with Uchaku. And it's like so like there's also like the oh was Uchaku by like was Toga gay. Was Toga by kind of thing. It's like oh like this was a romantic connection that I had even if it didn't go both ways. And now I'm exploring the separate romantic connection. And that's like a weird like big step for me to take. Exactly. And so then she's like then even when Toga starts talking to her I still think it's her subconscious and she's like no you know what Toga would want this. One of the last things she said to me was that she loves me. And if she loves me she'd push me to do this. Not drag me back. And I'm like awesome great. Oh Uchaku Deku get together. Mm-hmm. And then one of the last shots of the episode is Toga's actual for real ghost walking into the her goddamn force ghost being like mission complete here I can go. And I'm like fuck it's so possible that her Koshy is like no it's her for real ghost from Heaven or from hell telling her to do this. Sent down or up to try and push Toga into Deku's arms. Or it's her actual blood and like her consciousness is still in her blood. And because Uchaka actually gives like a Toga ass smile and I think that's like intentional. But like yeah. So like are we stripping the intentionality of this moment away from Uchaka by being like oh without Toga's actual force ghost making her do this it wouldn't happen. It's just like it just makes it so much more like I have to work so hard for the themes to be good. Yeah. And I have to ignore so much of the actual canon for it to be like really sweet and sentimental. It's like just just you know do the dream stuff and that's it. You don't have to explain the blood you don't have to have a leave in the crowd. Yeah. I had this conversation point a lot with a lot of anime and manga recently where I was like oh you don't have to beat us over the head with your themes like not everything has to be like blatantly explained to us like you can let some things be subliminal and let people feel smart for like coming to their own conclusions. And for some reason I felt as though we've strayed away from that. Like it's like every mangaka and author feels like they have to hold our hand. And I was like oh some of the most intelligent I feel while reading is like chainsaw man. While I'm like oh there's subliminal themes here that like with a without like a deeper reading of the source material you're not going to fully understand. And that makes me feel good. And that's why I'm like oh chainsaw man it's like one of my favorite current mangas. Well I guess that's the reason mangakas are like or just anyone in content creation is straying away from it because you've seen people talk about chainsaw man. This is just goonershade. There are no themes like you're like well you literally have to like let me break down for you what you're missing. Yeah you have to read it with your brain. Yeah that's the toughest part you can't be like oh whoa didn't you got a hand job. Yeah you can't believe this. But yeah I can't believe somebody drew this. Yeah if I'm gonna draw hand jobs though. Yeah I didn't know we could do this. We want to talk about everyone's numbers as our clothes out here. Show us our number two hero. Oh sure. LaMillions our new number one. We see fucking a pop great pop he's 108. Imagine stealing a car and 20 heroes show up to jump your shit. I know it's like yeah the fucking world's best whole squad just fucking rocket ass. Declare the continental level threat like it also needs four other guys with him absolutely insane. Well then also they all show up it's like a class of 20 and the car is like on a fucking iceberg that is destroyed to this highway. And they're all like yeah we did it equally. No it's the same four fucking people. My literal last note was naturally only the important one that it is. Shoto standing front and center being like and I helped it. It's like no that was Ida Shoto or no fucking what's what Shoto is. Sotorogi. No who's the one who's the one with the tape arms. Shoji. Show something like that. Tape arms is sitting up front like yeah like and I swung alongside him. I was like why do you put your suit on. Like why did why did why is invisible girl here. Yeah what do we need you your stealth hero for years so you could sneak into the back of this van. Yeah that was funny. I guess just in case but I'd still be pissing bricks if I saw every famous hero to ever exist. It is just ripping your door off we're like Deku the guy who killed the dude who could disintegrate cotton it's on your hood. Yeah I'd be like okay yeah car is yours I guess. Be like SEAL team six pulling me over for a speeding ticket. I'm good I'm good whatever I did wrong just write me the check please. Cool should we get to our second best episode of the week. Second best. Yeah what else do we oh no marriage talks. Yeah yeah yeah this is like Damons of the Shadow Realm where I'm like next episode is gonna be awesome. Oh I mean this was cool yeah this had some good this had great bits. Great bits you were literally sitting on the couch telling me that this show had the best bits. Dude these are all times. And as the prince of bits that means a lot. Whoa prince of bits. Yeah I'm branding that. You can't be the king of bits unfortunately. I'm not. You know who the king of bits would be? Take one guess. John Malaine. I was gonna say carrot top. You're right. Unfortunately. It's gotta be carrot top. Yeah he's old bits. He's all bits. What show is this? Marriage Toxin. Yeah the show rips. The show's awesome. Awesome. Buy Marriage Toxin. I. Episode four the Sally Master. I feel like it's almost even too late to buy Marriage Toxin so we've hyped it up so I've started to see Marriage Toxin edits on my TikTok and that's how you know you're getting traction. Dude this shows just so good Reggie's in this episode. The sound guy is 100% Reggie. Yes. Reggie's in the episode like Daemon's of the Shadow Realm. They'll just keep introducing me to new masters and I'll be happy. Just every single episode they're like by the way you shouldn't fight masters and then a new master. Every single episode just trying to kill whatever girl that our main character whose name I do not know is Tide is shipped to. Yeah this one's interesting though because he can seemingly like mind control people and also like paralyze them with sound and bring a building down. Yeah. It's like that guy who stuffs his fist into Chobo. Chubi. What? Who's the big one in Naruto? What? Shoji. Stuffs his. What he fists Choji? Who's is Choji's his name right? Are talking about Dosu? Are talking about the sound cuff guy who knocks out fucking Choji in the preliminary. The guy who Garakill's right? Yeah. That Dosu. Yes. Wow. Stuffs his fist into Choji's tummy. I didn't expect a Dosu call out right now dude. Yeah the guy who's around for just the preliminary. That's how I learned that sound can travel through the water in your body. Yeah he affected his eardrums through his expanded form. Yeah. Um. Fuck in. I don't even know why I said that but. Oh yeah he's. I loved it. Because he does sound shit. But there was some great just. You loved the insoluble beers. You loved the beer snake coming out of our main character. That was the worst thing anyone's ever done. I just can't believe but this is the kind of shit that you learn from a guy who has centipede shoes. That's like when your best friend is a dude who's like form of mobility is like millipedes. Yeah. He would love the I puke up beer with it. This is my favorite world. I finally get like one punch man and shit like that. I've never liked a gag anime. Okay. And this is doing it for me. You would love psyche K. You love psyche K. I gotta check it out. People keep recommending it. All it's just all high tier gags. Um. I yeah I love he's like. I know what will get a good reaction at this bar. He chugs 16 beers simultaneously. Eight in each hand. Yeah. And then somehow through toxins. Vomits this beer eel. And it's like really gruesome. Oh yeah it's bad. He's like he's trying to get it out because he can't breathe while you're throwing up. He was he was he was he literally pulled off what I almost did at colossal cost. It was like I was like I'm gonna shock on this beer. Everyone will love this bit. And that was muted on a recording equipment. And he does a spits it all up and then he's like sweating and panting. And then he looks up and he's like what do you think of that. Yeah. And no one liked it obviously. Uh huh. But boy oh boy have we both been there. Have we both have we both been like this bit's gonna crush. And then like we immediately have to pivot to the next bit because it's silent. Yeah crickets wake up to respond to it. Yeah. I also love they're taking a meeting and like the whole table is like subtly shaking. And you don't know why for most of the meeting. And that cuts to a wide because a guy is like holding up a ring attached to a bunch of chairs. He's holding them up. If you walk into that room and there's a guy being like take a seat. Are you like I'm not good. This is kink. This is your kink and I'm buying into it. I'd be glancing at that dude's crotch the whole time. Because he's fully naked while he's doing it too. Look at this like fucking like this is absolutely fetish behavior. Ask for my consent before I sit down. Yeah 100%. Pretty much though that's it. That is kind of it. I mean they just like a bunch it's like a it's a blonde hot dude chasing after them for an entire episode. Her getting quieter and quieter with the Yaki soba was adorable. Where she's like Yaki soba. And then and then out of nowhere out of nowhere she's like I know it'll get everyone's attention. Full on cosplay full on magical girl cosplay. I was like I thought this girl wasn't confident because like oh I busted out my dark magician girl cosplay. That's insane. Yeah that was insane. That was akin to the beer eel. Yes. Which I think is maybe the point. Like it played. Yeah. Yeah people loved it. You won't believe it. Cute girl puts on cosplay beloved by everyone around. And she did some magic. Which also plays. Always if you know magic always lead with magic. If you can choose a card for somebody I'm telling you right now for those you are like heading into college don't be annoying about magic but learn just enough magic where like if there's a conversational lull you can pull out like a card or not even don't bring cards with you because that's don't don't be the guy with cards because we're talking about guys here for being real. If there are just cards about and you're like hey guys see those for a second you whip out a crazy magic trick that's sexy. But if you're like oh you want to see a trick and you have a trench coat full of decks. Yeah or it's like yeah you pull your extendo wand kind of thing that's a bad look. No I disagree pulling out a wand is different. Oh just slosh out of your sleeve like you're like you're getting ready for a duel. It's like the plastic one with the white tip and they're just like a bunch of plastic flowers going to come out of that. And you're like no it's the rabbit and it's just the figured yeah yeah yeah no. But if like you just have cards and you can like and you can do a light trick that's like plus 20 charisma. I used to do a bit in high school where I'd have a deck of cards and I'd be like it'd be downtime and I'd be like hey Devin pick a card and then I'd like pick a card and I'd like unfan it and just put it back in my pocket and like go back to doing my work and he's like and then what and I'm like I'm just giving out cards. Yeah I mean that's that's a whole bit. That's unfortunately a fantastic bit. Thank you which you were able to do on account of being really funny. We're talking about we're talking about people who need the charismatic like I'm saying like they're sitting down for a YouTube tutorial. You can't you can't give recommendations on how to be charismatic. You have to realize I'm sorry you're not the every man when it comes to charisma. This is a tool to use if you already have charisma though you know it's like it's like it's the same as me being like hey here's how you play Eruption by Van Halen. You need a fundamental understanding of guitar first. Here's seven hours on how to fucking finger and fret correctly here. But yeah I'm excited for the next episode. This sounded sick. It's fucking tomorrow. I'm I have Tuesdays locked in for this show. It's Tuesdays. I love it's the only thing I look forward to on Tuesdays. But that being said let's get to our best episode of the week. Which had to tell you a best show of the year. I love this. That's a wild wild take but I think by the end of like episode 12 year that will be a real conversational point. Yeah I'll have to rewatch. Its massive benefit is the fact that it's not running against anything that's even remotely good as it. Yeah true. Hot dog. Do I love it. It's so much fun. And this is the slowest out of all the episodes. Nothing happened this episode and I love it. It is first 12 minutes dedicated to Keefrey being a fantastic dad. Brother they cook for so long and it's awesome. It's awesome and every single moment I have to spend with Keefrey is another moment I'm reminded of how little father I had. Dude when they made a cheese boiga. I what a shock. What a shock to the senses. I thought they were going to make some fucking. It's usually like they're busting out howls moving cow like howls moving castle slabs of pork belly. They're like like the cocoa is doing like light magic spells to like melt some to melt some cheese on bread. I'm like what are they making Ruby Tuesdays. Dude yeah it was such a Ruby Tuesdays TGIF fucking meal. I was waiting for fucking Geifery to come back out and be like that's banging. It's like they I was expecting because usually in anime you get two types of food. Like a big fried egg on top of fried rice that looks great. Or like a big fucking chunk of dinosaur meat. That's really jiggly and like has bones sticking out. Or a purple stew that's going to kill you. There's three options. Three options and at the end of it when Keefrey was like what have you made cocoa and she's like I made Denny's slam birthday. Yeah. What do you mean you made a moons over my hammy. Yeah dude it's like good good. You're like I'm putting the bee back in I hop over here. That was sick. I loved that. I love I hated the design of fucking Tony Stark Tony. You don't like the goatee. I hate what he looks like. I like he looks like a fake anime. Like you know when you get a targeted Instagram ad and they're like I'll turn you and your spouse into an instant in anime character. It looks like that. Like a white dude got anima fied by AI. He honestly the goatee threw me off to the point where I had to think about other anime characters with goatees. Ask a lad. Only one only one I could think of. Hold on give me Vegeta eventually I think. King Vegeta. Oh like Vegeta's father. You're right. King Vegeta the king of fucking the Saiyans on planet Vegeta has a goatee. Attack on Titan doesn't have anything. They're all German you'd think. I think Reiner has one for a little bit. Reiner season four has a goatee. Like after the time skip after the leave parody island and everyone grows up Reiner as goatee. This doesn't count but Sanji. It's not count because it's like a French goatee. You know he's got like a little. Wow. Sanji is a goatee. I looked up anime characters with goatees. That's not a goatee at all. That's what I'm saying. That's not a goatee at all. I looked up anime characters with goatees and like nothing. Yeah. Like not even the ones we mentioned. It's just not it. Well one I think. Because it's probably. I think it's confused by what we're considering a goatee. That's 100% a goatee. This one counts. That's yeah. Garp is a good follow up question there because Garp is or an answer. Because Garp's 100% got a goatee and always has had one. We got Garp. A Tachi grows one. That's me. That's that first off that's not real order of itachi. That's me. I don't that's the most that's the least comfortable. I but you know you just said we'll anabify you. That made me deeply uncomfortable. That is that's actually looks like. Just like Daniel Dwen Yass. I mean kind of objectively kind of. Yeah. Especially after there especially after their Japanese arc. Yeah. Um yeah not a lot of goatees. And it's it's I think it's well I was going to say like probably because you don't see a lot of goatees in Japan. But I feel like you probably do. It's a lot of people with no awesome has got the bottom half. Yeah. Just got the bottom. A lot of people know mustache. That's you got some of that. Yeah that's fair. I feel like it's not a no I feel like a lot of Japanese people. I feel like it's mustache. You don't see you don't see cheeks in Japanese facial hair. That's what I feel like you don't see. Which is why you would get a goatee. Yeah. Yeah. But he's our Nicholas Wolford though. You're going to get some and there's like probably a lot of people out there who are watching which I tell you and and haven't read the manga. I can guarantee you that immediately within I don't know minutes of this episode being released there was some deeply graphic key free X whatever this guy's name is just like real deep penetration porn drawn. Is it because they got a yin and yang going. 100% okay. Okay. Yeah. It's your it's your Vash Nicholas Wolford. It's your Rockley Kakashi's or Mike Guy Kakashi's. I got them. They look exactly the same. Give me a second. I was thrown off. Yeah. That was you had a surprisingly quick reaction to that as well. We said Rockley and I was like oh this is going to be 1010. Yeah. Yeah. No. Yeah. The man double his age. Yeah. Come on. It's all of your black cat golden retrievers. Yeah. It's buddy daddies. It's like we are now getting the plot of buddy guys where two dudes raise a bunch of girls. Yeah. It's fucking well I was something I really liked about the episode. Yeah. Is that like you're introduced to Tony Stark and initially you're like this dude's an asshole. Like he's going to be the scary one around all the children or he's like the Snape character. And he is at first and when Coco sneaks in he's just by the book. You know. Yeah. When Coco sneaks in he's just like I found your worm thing and dried it. Now you can get out and then she's like I don't want to get out and he's like. All right. Yeah. And then like Mike the best part is like he talks to her and she's like she loves like the glowstones and we get so much cool. We get so much magic this fucking episode him slapping his two fucking rings together. Awesome. And then him being like oh the glowstones work by like pressure slaps the top half of the stone with a bottom half and like closes the circle. We're getting so much fucking full metal alchemist brotherhood ass like here's how these circles are closed shit dude. I was fucking eating that shit up. I was like yes more. More. Give me a new way to close a circle every episode. I'll be a happy happy boy dude. The second he did this with his thumbs in the ring. I was like someone's got to come out by the end of this. I'm sitting Dorothy down when she gets home in three hours and I'll be like this is happening. We're making this we're making all these fucking connect me rings here. Oh 100% dude. You and your partner just fucking magnetic little connect me rings. I bet that exists. Oh 100% make it like an unreasonably strong magnet. Oh yeah. Like you're like it's like the new way to hold hands because you actually can't separate. Um yeah. I was thinking about like this would be good. Yep. Um yeah they've got to they'll probably do like this or something. Yeah. Just we got to start doing circles on bodies. I know what's going to happen at some point here. Some fuck's going to happen. I wonder if you could do like if you have a glove or connect me ring and deal with someone else. Will that do something. No I guess not because the magic doesn't come from you. You know in that case in the circle like as long as the circle is made that's like what all. Well isn't it. Yeah isn't it interesting there's no like manna or something you can do is one can be a witch. You can do as much magic as you can draw. That's the thing is like you don't even have to be a product of the strange witch. As long as you're a good artist and you know what sigils to use. Like you can just be you could be all rated what to do and so long as you can do it. You're an elite magician. Well it's like a a witch is by all means of the definition a profession. Yeah like anyone could do if it wasn't secretive. Like it's not like you need witch blood which is interesting. You just need years in the trade. You need to know how to draw circles. You need to know what circles to put. It's basically coding. It's just drawing. Yeah. Oh look I could sit down. There's no difference between me and somebody else sitting down at a computer typing up a thing. It's just about like I need to know what fucking keys to hit. Yeah yeah but yeah. It's pretty. It's awesome. It's fucking it's a great episode. My favorite moment the entire episode which I feel like is one of the more slept on like moments is when Coco is leaving Tony Stark's room and he thinks about what Keefrey said about like oh how if they reported him to the moral knights the knights moralists. Yeah. That they would erase her passion for magic and he's so enthralled with her passion for magic. Like just her talking about like how much the glowstones mean to her and I was like oh what a really sweet and subliminal way to write a character and be like oh here's his redemption immediately. Yeah. But once again I have to say this is the most female written manga in the history of female written mongas because Keefrey's like in his black tight shirt cooking while he teaches. In it like it's like he's hanging around him here and he's being so sweet. And I like magic is life itself with a big splash. He's busting out water magic and it's like it's like flowing in front of his face and he's like the best way to learn is practical application and I'm falling in love with this mother fight. And then like the black cat comes home and you're like oh he's like he's like kind of gruff and he's like he's like I have to turn her in and then he's like actually how passion for magic is incredible. And I'm like these are the best fathers in the history of fathers. Yeah. Like I like I genuinely think of what we have to do like a anime ranking of fathers thing they're up there. I can't tell about Keefrey yet because we get that moment from whatever his name is. You're calling him the black cat is that what they call him. I know he's just I don't know I'm calling him like he's the black cat to Keefrey's golden retrieval you know. Um I'll keep calling Tony Stark I guess just so I know what I'm talking about. But um he fucking we get that moment from him where he's like they even erase her passion would they and it's clear that he like cares about Coco. Yeah. And it like you know just her youth and her sparkle. Technically I don't think we've gotten that from Keefrey like I can't tell if he said that to Tony Stark because he knew that effect him like he's manipulating him. Wow. And I only think this because Keefrey's been so fucking tense and ominous. He has like him being able to cut the OST. Is some eyes in level like what the fuck because people in our cons like welcome to the morally ambiguous character of Keefrey and I'm like him busting out the water magic to stop the dude. He's like you're not going fucking anywhere and I was like yeah that's why too. Yeah I was like holy shit that's terrifying but yeah I like I wonder if he knew that that would incept in that dude's mind like I can't give her to night's rather than being like you know genuinely caring about Coco. I think he has an agenda. Also what about Tony Stark coming down from his perched loft in a flowy pirate shirt like he's like under his cloak he's wearing like this like white Renaissance fair blouse another another incredible example of just like this one is for the girlies. Yeah and it's fucking like flight slippers. Yeah it's just like popping down it's like you could take the stairs. Yeah just a great show so much fun. I love she enters his room and just a body thwams against the floor. He's like oh I thought I was wearing the shoes. Fuck they don't have my socks as well. Yeah anyway great stuff. So that's all the anime we have to talk about this week. Do you have news? Do we have news? Do oh you don't have any news. Do you have news? Do I have news? I have a best boy but it's kind of like an idea. It's not like it's like I had an idea. So you have none of the things. I have a best boy. I have a best boy. I said do you have news and you go not only do I not have news. Oh like kind of news. But I have a best boy that isn't a best boy. I have news. I was asking you if you have news. I know but you don't see how what just happened was funny. I know. Go on. Nothing. Nothing. Your bits have never been fun and you know I have no idea. I'm sorry I don't know what you want from me. I'm very hungry. Go on. Okay. The news is people are hating on the Invincible versus game. Because apparently. Apparently because you can't button mash. You were like I've seen so many people being like I'm button mashing as hard as I can right now and I'm not winning this game. And I don't know if it's because of how popular Invincible is as an IP that a bunch of like non fighting game fans flock to it. But man alive are people being pissy about it. The Invincible fandom may be one of the worst in history. I just it's so funny seeing the indignant attitude that they had towards the show. Instantly migrate to the game. Yes. Because yeah I also see so many videos that are like people are like yeah well this is impossible this dude's ripping my ass open and it's like brother hit the block button. Like you wouldn't last a second in like a Japanese based fighting game. Dude you never hit with a 200 hit combo before. What's that one word it's like ultra killer instinct baby. Same people made this one. Oh really. That's like infinite combos or no. No but yeah killer instinct was like you it's like you could keep someone in the mortal combat days if you could keep the combo going. Um yeah dude I don't know if there's a fandom that hates their own fucking thing. More than the Invincible fandom. I mean Amazon doesn't give them a whole like Amazon gives them a lot of content fairly like often but it's also not to the level that a lot of people believe it is. The Invincible game looks good. Yeah it looks good. There's a story. The fucking fighting mechanics is clean. I've had no time to play it. I've been in Vegas. That's crazy. That is crazy because I feel like that'd be a thing you bust out your comically sized fighting game paddles for. Yeah damn right. I want to make a TikTok that's like how it feels to have a fight stick and it's just like a montage of me like entering someone's house and being like hey yo set up in a sec. You mind if I smoke in here? Like just that kind of energy. Yeah it's like four cigarettes all at once here. It's like no you can go actually immediately. I've also seen some discourse about duplicate because apparently they fucking they the sliders on to the fucking maximum. That's about all I've seen. It's so funny. But I know any universe where Omni Man is known for having cake it's good that it's going both ways. Well that's just fighting games. I mean it's the one game genre other than stealth where you are crouching most of the time. Fair. And so you're just like that is fair but you're never behind like in a 2D you're never behind them. From the side. I guess they flip like you can like be facing one of two ways and you have no news. You're crowdsourcing our news right now. That's what's happening. I guess we'll do best boy as roses comic. Yes we will. Should we read it. I just who do you think you are. I'm gonna go. What. That's what I'm gonna do. All right I'm pulling up roses comic. Content warning you have to pull it up dog. Where in the discord is it. I don't know. They DM'd it to me on Instagram. Okay well that's. Let me log into your Instagram real quick.

Because here's the thing there's a lot of jobs you could have. You could be the Ambu and Naruto. You could be Hashira and Demon Slayer. Kaiju cleanup and Kaiju number eight. You could be an assassin in Sakamoto days. There's a million things you could be. You could be an adventurer in Anise Kai. I like how you listed like three different assassins and you're like a million jobs. Okay, Hashira is a warrior. Ambu's an assassin. That's fair. Assassins in Sakamoto days are also assassins. They're all just killers. I also said I said a job. I said a Kaiju cleanup and Kaiju number eight. Do you have an answer? Not a lot of job based anime. Job. In one job isn't a title of one. Right? Jobless rank. Oh wait. Job yep. Jobless incarnation is show. And it's jobless. He's job, he is kind of employed. He's an adventurer like every other person in Anise Kai ever. I'd be like a chef, but like a really good anime chef. You know, you know. Okay, you want to be in food. Like you want your like food blasting people's clothes off? Maybe not food wars specifically. Okay, yeah. Maybe food wars specifically. I mean, if it's in the food wars universe, I guess it's chill. I guess I do food wars because then I can eat something so delicious. My clothes disintegrate and I come publicly and it's okay and everyone's cool with it. Well, that's the thing. We're not entirely sure that that can't happen here in this world. You know, maybe someone maybe like we just haven't got to that level of like seasoning quite yet. I love the idea that someone discovers they come when they eat chocolate. Yes. You're just hanging out with some fellas and it's like, yeah, you want to try this Hershey bar. It's like, oh crazy. I've never had this. We don't have these in my state and you taste it and you've come hard and you're like, this happens to all of you. Yeah, always all coming all the time here. Almost Halloween like. Yeah, you're just looking at everyone. They're still playing Mario Kart and you're like, this didn't happen to you. Why just me? Oh, you want to be a really good chef? I feel like I would be. I'd be such a bad assassin. I'd be I'd be I'd be a fucking awful assassin. What do you want to be an assassin? I don't know. Pokemon gym leader clock in nine to five. Get stomped by kids. You know what I want? You know what I'm. You're charged. Arts level. What? I'm the first gym leader. Nothing to it. I wouldn't want to be the gym leader. I'd want to be the guy in like the gym who just walks in circles all day. You know, like, you're like, you're like, you're like guy number three in the gym. They have to get past in the maze and I'm just like swimming back and forth for like all day nine to five. I think allegedly they are also on their way to challenge the gym leader, but they just haven't made their way through the maze. Yeah, I really like that idea. They're just like not smart enough to fit every day. They tried the maze. Yeah. I mean, sometimes it is just in open room and they're just like walking. I can't do it. I can't face Brock again. Yeah. All right. That's what we want. All right, guys. Thank you so much for another episode. Thank you so much for watching another episode of Talks Anonymous. Means the world for us to guys check in every single week. And unfortunately, like we said, this is our last episode in this office. So if you want any of the stuff, your DMS will send it to you. We have to we have to get rid of it all. Whole sale. Whole sale. We're getting rid of it all. No, podcast is going to look very different the next about six weeks here. And then I am moving into my brand new house that I bought. And I'll be building a new studio there, which will forcefully be or hopefully be more attractive than this one. I don't know. I'm just going to look in studio. I just want the next one to look better. You know, you want you want to make positive progress. Man, I did do a good job looking at this now. God, that's good backdrop. You got to tear all this down. Oh, yeah. Yeah. That's going to be the rest of my day. I have to go get Dorothy Flowers though, because she's getting home.
