00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,680
This is MJ. I'm an author. I'm an artist. I'm an analyzer find all my work at mg MJMunoz.com

2
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:12,960
Welcome to Digimon seekers. I'm continuing to make record build read the audiobook version of

3
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:15,720
Digimon seekers the web novel

4
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:22,120
Continuing with a G wolf of the 9th Avenue, which is chapter 1. This is part 14 of chapter 1

5
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:25,600
I will be reading the translation by K Kuhn and

6
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:32,800
I have links for it in the show notes so you can find the text yourself and read it for yourself

7
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:37,760
Here you're gonna have me reading it and then having some thoughts and reactions

8
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:42,320
To what I have read so here I go

9
00:00:45,480 --> 00:00:47,400
Walsum, Santa, Avanilla

10
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:52,840
When AG went up the stairs out of the subway exit and stood agape at his surroundings

11
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,440
He wanted to turn right back around

12
00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:02,960
What is this another country a real slum? He asked this is crazy. I'll lose my life here

13
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:05,920
The air was dank with soot

14
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:12,240
The abandoned building that he'd seen earlier was one thing but this place it was something else

15
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:19,400
If this place was listed in a tourist book AG was sure that it would say things like has the highest crime rate on the

16
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:23,160
Planet or don't go anywhere near here

17
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:32,200
What do you call this sort of place cool on city AG asked kabukicho in the Shoah era

18
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:38,520
He looked up the city block from below the densely packed buildings built on illegal construction a

19
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:43,360
Place that was like cool on city a slum that had once existed in Hong Kong

20
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:50,200
Before the reversion to China built by illegal immigrants on land that had been ungoverned by the government or

21
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:58,000
Like the Kabukicho district of Shinjuku in the Shoah era a city that never slept and was a light with neon signs for restaurants

22
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,560
brothels hotels and other establishments a

23
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:03,840
red light district

24
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:12,160
While slum is the boundary between the real world and the digital world Luguan explained real information is always flowing in through the network

25
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:16,720
So it's constantly changing because of that everything here changes from one day to the next

26
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,600
Luguan what?

27
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:25,200
Would you happen to be really intelligent AG said his eyes shining did you want our intelligent?

28
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:31,960
Maybe I'll have you help me with the hard stuff from now on AG said can I call you senpai quit it?

29
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,680
But I love you Luguan. You're so reliable

30
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:40,900
If AG had a tail he'd be wagging it right now. This is exactly why your dog looked down on you

31
00:02:40,900 --> 00:02:42,900
Let's hurry up and get to work

32
00:02:44,140 --> 00:02:49,900
With Luguan verbally whipping him back into gear AG launched the tool on his virtual monitor

33
00:02:50,780 --> 00:02:56,460
He initiated the mapping now all they had to do was fill in the map by walking around

34
00:02:58,940 --> 00:03:00,940
Mapping this red light district, huh?

35
00:03:01,660 --> 00:03:08,700
AG was so overwhelmed by the visual absurdity of 9th Avenue that if he tried to describe it in words

36
00:03:08,700 --> 00:03:12,460
He would lose his mind. There were no straight streets

37
00:03:13,220 --> 00:03:15,980
Alleyways were nothing more than gaps between buildings

38
00:03:16,340 --> 00:03:22,660
The width and direction of the streets were a mess and there was clearly no urban planning

39
00:03:24,060 --> 00:03:27,260
There were no restrictions on the building coverage ratio

40
00:03:27,940 --> 00:03:30,700
oblique restrictions earthquake resistance

41
00:03:31,380 --> 00:03:36,420
Standards or any other legal regulations based on the building standards act

42
00:03:36,420 --> 00:03:41,540
To add insult to injury not even architectural mechanics seemed to exist here

43
00:03:41,860 --> 00:03:48,020
If one were to bring in realistic human sensibilities to the city that ignored all safety and construction standards

44
00:03:48,580 --> 00:03:55,060
They would feel uneasy just being here and would forever walk around thinking of the inevitable collapse

45
00:03:55,540 --> 00:03:57,540
That was sure to happen two seconds later

46
00:03:59,060 --> 00:04:04,820
Like for instance if a sign hanging from a single screw fell the steel frame over there

47
00:04:04,820 --> 00:04:08,340
Would snap and all the buildings around it would collapse like dominoes

48
00:04:09,780 --> 00:04:11,780
AG checked on the map as he walked around

49
00:04:13,460 --> 00:04:16,660
Looks like there did you want around here hiding though?

50
00:04:17,700 --> 00:04:21,860
He could feel eyes watching him all over from the alley

51
00:04:23,940 --> 00:04:28,500
9th Avenue is the worst neighborhood in wall slum. Lugamon said if outsiders

52
00:04:29,300 --> 00:04:33,140
Walked through it. They'd be stripped of their clothes within 50 meters

53
00:04:33,140 --> 00:04:35,140
And left for dead within 100 meters

54
00:04:35,780 --> 00:04:36,900
scary

55
00:04:36,900 --> 00:04:40,660
Our destination is the heart of 9th Avenue the castle of nine wolves

56
00:04:41,620 --> 00:04:45,780
AG and Lugamon continued their work. It was a bit of a letdown in the end

57
00:04:45,780 --> 00:04:48,900
But they were able to proceed with mapping without hassle

58
00:04:50,180 --> 00:04:54,900
There was no Digimon to be seen anywhere. It was as if they were in the middle of nowhere

59
00:04:55,860 --> 00:04:59,060
Although Lugamon insisted that he could sense them close by

60
00:04:59,060 --> 00:05:01,060
A dead-end street

61
00:05:02,260 --> 00:05:04,420
There was a tiled roof building

62
00:05:05,060 --> 00:05:09,700
Including a small plaza surrounded by overhanging ramshackle buildings

63
00:05:10,260 --> 00:05:13,300
It looked more like an imperial house in Chinatown than a castle

64
00:05:15,380 --> 00:05:19,540
Is this the castle of nine wolves we need to map that and what's ahead of it

65
00:05:20,180 --> 00:05:22,180
AG walked up to the imperial house

66
00:05:23,540 --> 00:05:25,060
Lugamon stopped

67
00:05:25,060 --> 00:05:30,500
What's wrong Lugamon? AG had gone ahead of him, but he couldn't go too far as he was hollowized

68
00:05:32,100 --> 00:05:34,340
This is my home or it was

69
00:05:36,500 --> 00:05:39,380
Did you remember something it has a faint smell

70
00:05:40,180 --> 00:05:42,180
Markings that i'd left behind

71
00:05:42,580 --> 00:05:46,020
But it's me and not me. It's much much stronger

72
00:05:47,460 --> 00:05:50,020
Maybe it could be AG had an idea the Evolver's

73
00:05:50,020 --> 00:05:55,460
Something's coming Lugamon turned his nose to the narrow strip of sky between the buildings

74
00:05:56,980 --> 00:05:58,980
Wrap wrap wrap wrap wrap wrap wrap

75
00:05:59,860 --> 00:06:01,860
It was a thunderous roar

76
00:06:01,940 --> 00:06:07,060
Winds picked up the sound seemed to hit the ground and blew away the surrounding garbage data

77
00:06:08,260 --> 00:06:11,460
AG was forced to his knees Lugamon dug in his claws

78
00:06:12,420 --> 00:06:14,420
What is it AG cried? What is it?

79
00:06:14,420 --> 00:06:20,580
AG was forced to his knees Lugamon dug in his claws. What is it AG cried? What's coming?

80
00:06:21,780 --> 00:06:25,780
A winged monstrosity cast a shadow over the castle of nine wolves

81
00:06:26,580 --> 00:06:29,620
AG had shut his eyes to protect them from the billowy dust

82
00:06:30,180 --> 00:06:34,100
But now he held up a hand over his eyes and squinted up at the sky

83
00:06:34,820 --> 00:06:36,820
Is that a bird a dragon?

84
00:06:37,460 --> 00:06:38,820
No, neither

85
00:06:38,820 --> 00:06:42,180
That's the thing had engines on both wings

86
00:06:42,180 --> 00:06:50,340
It was a machine-type Digimon based on a tilt rotor aircraft that was capable of vertical takeoff and landing

87
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:58,200
Cargo Dramon perfect level machine type virus species

88
00:07:00,500 --> 00:07:04,740
On its fuselage was the word police in intimidating letters

89
00:07:06,100 --> 00:07:10,180
It's the Digi-Police AG shouted the police. What are they doing in wall slum?

90
00:07:10,180 --> 00:07:15,460
Digimon affiliated with the Digi-Police descended off the hovering Cargo Dramon from a rope

91
00:07:16,180 --> 00:07:18,180
They were Commandramon

92
00:07:19,540 --> 00:07:24,260
The Helleborn squad spread out quickly securing the base

93
00:07:24,900 --> 00:07:26,900
An alert rang

94
00:07:27,700 --> 00:07:31,460
At the sound AG looked at his map on the virtual monitor

95
00:07:32,660 --> 00:07:37,220
Markers indicating Commandramon appeared in the vicinity of the castle of nine wolves

96
00:07:37,220 --> 00:07:39,700
The castle was being surrounded

97
00:07:43,620 --> 00:07:47,140
They're demanding that we open up voice chat on the Grimm channel

98
00:07:47,700 --> 00:07:52,500
AG cried out he had received a warning notification from the police in the operation channel

99
00:07:53,940 --> 00:07:56,900
Grimm was not a service that belonged to any particular company

100
00:07:57,540 --> 00:08:02,420
So if you didn't comply with police demands that wouldn't be an immediate criminal act by itself

101
00:08:02,420 --> 00:08:07,140
However, it would mean that you have taken a defiant attitude towards the state power

102
00:08:08,420 --> 00:08:10,420
What did we do? Lugamon asked

103
00:08:11,380 --> 00:08:16,980
It doesn't matter one way or the other that interview was the only one with administrative power over this operation channel

104
00:08:18,020 --> 00:08:20,020
AG didn't have the authority to open it

105
00:08:22,260 --> 00:08:24,820
The hell don't ignore me you shitty codecracker

106
00:08:25,620 --> 00:08:27,060
boom

107
00:08:27,060 --> 00:08:29,620
A shrill voice came from the Cargo Dramon above

108
00:08:29,620 --> 00:08:32,100
A shrill voice came from the Cargo Dramon above

109
00:08:32,820 --> 00:08:38,260
The voice was loud and shrieked like a cartoon character. It rang directly through AG's mind-linked

110
00:08:38,820 --> 00:08:40,820
sense of hearing

111
00:08:41,540 --> 00:08:43,540
And that is the end

112
00:08:44,020 --> 00:08:46,020
so

113
00:08:47,140 --> 00:08:52,420
Huh, i'm not exactly sure how to feel about this I uh, i'm gonna do a quick live check to see

114
00:08:52,820 --> 00:08:56,660
If Keikun embellished by throwing the uh, the s word in there

115
00:08:57,220 --> 00:08:58,500
um

116
00:08:58,500 --> 00:09:02,820
And why uh, you know, i've been around different fandoms for a while

117
00:09:03,700 --> 00:09:06,260
i'm into tokusatsu and

118
00:09:07,060 --> 00:09:09,060
that is uh,

119
00:09:09,140 --> 00:09:14,260
You know, it's no secret that there are different groups who provide subtitles for tokusatsu stuff and

120
00:09:16,340 --> 00:09:22,340
You know while toei and other companies don't like that it is a fact it's a fact that they know about it's a fact that they try

121
00:09:22,420 --> 00:09:23,540
to hide

122
00:09:23,540 --> 00:09:26,900
and um, it's something that they don't want uh,

123
00:09:26,900 --> 00:09:32,340
uh to be admitted i'm sure but it's the truth and you know, you cannot

124
00:09:33,220 --> 00:09:35,460
Plug your ears and shut your eyes and hide from the truth

125
00:09:36,580 --> 00:09:37,540
and

126
00:09:37,540 --> 00:09:39,300
oh

127
00:09:39,300 --> 00:09:43,700
Some subtitle groups will put uh, you know kisama

128
00:09:44,020 --> 00:09:49,300
I will translate things in a more adult tone. They will put cuss words into them and

129
00:09:49,940 --> 00:09:51,220
they

130
00:09:51,220 --> 00:09:55,060
Some kind of do it willy-nilly and some do it where it feels appropriate and sometimes uh

131
00:09:55,060 --> 00:10:03,300
Uh, actual english language curse words do appear in the original japanese. Uh, I think in revise they did that and

132
00:10:04,100 --> 00:10:08,180
um, i'm pretty sure in common rate or kiva one of the shirts that um

133
00:10:10,020 --> 00:10:12,980
Oh, man, I love this guy, but I can't remember his name at the moment uh war

134
00:10:13,780 --> 00:10:16,020
had some sort of curse words on it and

135
00:10:17,700 --> 00:10:18,900
Anyway

136
00:10:18,900 --> 00:10:23,620
I'm an adult. I can handle it. I've said these words before I don't wish to say them as much as I do

137
00:10:23,620 --> 00:10:29,460
I well I say them more than i'd like to uh, but it looks like keikun took a little bit of liberty here and

138
00:10:29,700 --> 00:10:33,620
Decided to throw the s word in here because the line from digimon web

139
00:10:34,740 --> 00:10:38,180
The translation I have there says come on. Don't play dumb with me codecracker

140
00:10:39,060 --> 00:10:43,460
But then it continues boom shrill voice, but then it says it's a suffocating voice

141
00:10:43,940 --> 00:10:49,540
Um, and then it calls it cartoony, which is why would it be suffocating and cartoony? That's a little bit weird

142
00:10:49,780 --> 00:10:51,780
I guess the feeling of it is

143
00:10:51,780 --> 00:10:56,040
Suffocating because it's right in his ear through his mind link. I don't know. That's kind of weird. But anyway

144
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:01,320
Uh, so i'm not mad. I'm not gonna try to cancel keikun

145
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:05,640
I'm not gonna say that you know, he shouldn't do that or whatever. It's up to him. I read it

146
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:09,400
I saw it was there and I read it and that's fine with me. Um

147
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:14,440
And uh, yeah, i'm just gonna roll with it. It's not that big of a deal to me. Um

148
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:19,400
But maybe that says more about me than I would like it to anyway, uh, so

149
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,160
So

150
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,680
What did I think about this episode? What did I think about this chapter?

151
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:30,120
Uh, I liked it a lot more. Uh, I liked that it was so much more clear. I think

152
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,240
I'm not sure if the dialogue tags were actually done better

153
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:41,800
uh, I don't know if you noticed but I deliberately read it slowly and there were a few places where I fumbled but

154
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,480
For the most part. I think I did a pretty good job with the reading

155
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:51,560
And not that it's super difficult, but i'm just saying you know in the context, I think I did fine and

156
00:11:52,760 --> 00:12:00,040
I deliberately took the approach before I started reading it that I was going to slow down because I had so many mistakes last time

157
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,360
and I was just going to

158
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,880
Let myself read and

159
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:14,920
And not rush through it so that I could see the words absorb the words process the words before saying the words and

160
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:21,160
I'm gonna say that definitely helped my performance my reading the understandability of what was being said there, which is good

161
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:25,000
um, but I also think that it had a

162
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:34,200
I also think what that has a positive effect on the reading. Oh, it may have had a secondary effect of helping me to

163
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,400
better understand what I was actually reading as I was reading it because

164
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:45,720
I did scan up ahead a few times to look down and see if it was lugamon or ag because I am trying to affect voice for them

165
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,240
but also

166
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:48,920
Just in regular reading

167
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,720
It's frustrating when you think that you're

168
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,440
I mean if I'm reading quietly

169
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:59,880
I think oh, this is uh thron. Oh, no, it turns out it's Pelleon. Oh, I thought this was uh Mara. No, it's actually Luke

170
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:06,040
That stinks that doesn't make sense that you would leave it up to interpretation for the reader to to mess it up

171
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,280
I know it's not a screenplay

172
00:13:08,680 --> 00:13:14,120
Or like a you know, Shakespeare play where it breaks down and says each character's name and then you know colon

173
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,480
And then it gives their line, but I don't know in some ways. Isn't that kind of better?

174
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,160
Even as it from a reading experience. Don't you want to know who it is?

175
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,160
if it's a very personal like depending on the

176
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:25,560
the format or or the

177
00:13:25,560 --> 00:13:31,000
I guess part of the plot the presentation of it being first person or whatever it changes things up

178
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:35,720
And it makes it more or less easy to understand but I know you want it readily understandable

179
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,720
So I thought this was a lot more understandable

180
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,160
I thought it was weird that there were no other digimon encountering them

181
00:13:41,560 --> 00:13:47,160
And I wonder if that I like I wonder what that's about. Maybe they had a sense that the cops were coming

182
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:51,800
So the digi police, uh that they were on their way so they knew to stay away

183
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:56,040
I mean that could be the case that would be kind of interesting if that was what happened

184
00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:02,200
and I like this whole thing with the cops coming in and messing things up and

185
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,840
Well, I just like I said, I think that's interesting and

186
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,200
I'm not mad at the

187
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,280
I'm not mad at it for portraying like this

188
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,000
How do you say?

189
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,080
I'm not mad at them for portraying it

190
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:26,600
I'm not mad at them for portraying a less than rosy estimation of the cops because

191
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:31,320
Uh, I don't know. It's kind of weird the way they're framing the police here. Um, I don't know

192
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:36,520
that I think it doesn't feel like the cops are super noble just yet and

193
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,440
I don't know. I find that kind of curious. I wonder

194
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:45,080
What is going on? We've got a group called the sons of chaos

195
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:49,080
and you know chaos is associated with lawlessness and and bad things and

196
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:51,800
uh, you know

197
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:55,560
I'm not denying that, you know, I'm not saying I want a chaotic life because chaos is wonderful

198
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:59,560
but I am saying that depending on how you define things

199
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,080
Chaos can be exciting

200
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,560
and you know free

201
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:06,840
and

202
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:11,640
You know not oppressive or it can be this awful terrible thing that people endure. So

203
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,440
Like I said, it depends on how you

204
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:19,640
Uh on how you interpret it and it definitely seems like we're not getting the rosiest interpretation of

205
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:24,200
Of chaos to some extent, but then again, you know aji's comment about how he

206
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:26,280
has to be

207
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:31,720
Careful like it almost talked it almost seemed like it was talking to me about like a social credit score thing

208
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:36,680
Like grim doesn't belong to any one group, but he'll be seen of you know his refusal to

209
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,560
respond or to reply or to

210
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,560
respond or to reply or to

211
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:47,320
Work with them or his refusal to respond on the grim channel

212
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,000
Will lead to

213
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:56,840
Problem for him basically, but it's not an outright illegal act. It'll just be defiance against an authority or a state which

214
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,160
made me a little uncomfortable because

215
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,440
Sometimes you want to avoid

216
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,720
Sometimes you want to defy an authority or a state because they're not always

217
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:10,920
uh doing what's right or they're not always doing what's in the best interest of people and

218
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,440
Uh, you know, I like the idea of people being free to to choose

219
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,320
but this actually does

220
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:19,080
kind of

221
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:20,760
lead to focus on

222
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:24,200
something interesting which is the fact that or the idea of

223
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:31,000
This uncensorable technology and different ways that theater networks and I would say that

224
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:35,480
It looks like grim is working on some sort of protocol where it's actually

225
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,440
uh like a

226
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:40,920
It's an open system

227
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:45,480
And it's not really tied to any one platform and that's kind of an interesting idea

228
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:52,360
There's this protocol called no stir, which I've been meaning to get into I've heard about it for a little while and like I said

229
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:56,520
I want to get into it, but I just haven't done it. I haven't done it yet and

230
00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:00,120
It seems really interesting because basically it's like an uncensorable

231
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:01,640
uncensorable

232
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,400
protocol so

233
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:04,600
You could

234
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:05,560
uh

235
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,600
Well, and two it'll it'll like distribute to multiple

236
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,480
Channels, let's say so let's say you're not satisfied with uh,

237
00:17:14,120 --> 00:17:18,760
Eon musk on twitter, right? You're upset with him. You can with this

238
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:23,880
You can with no stir you can

239
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,280
Basically make it so that you're not tweeting anymore

240
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:31,960
You're making these no stir notes or whatever and then you're sharing them to multiple places

241
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,520
Because it's open like that

242
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:39,400
That's pretty cool. And that means that you don't have to be forced to be in a place that you don't like

243
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:44,280
Uh just to communicate with people and you can even be off of that and still

244
00:17:44,980 --> 00:17:49,320
Communicating or talking to people who you are interested in talking to or following

245
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,480
And seeing their stuff and sharing it with them and it's like a cross platform

246
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:57,720
Um, it's a cross platform protocol that makes it so that you can use

247
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:04,040
Social media in a way that's tailored to you and not dependent upon these big tech companies

248
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,000
Allowing you to do things a certain way. So

249
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:12,120
That's pretty cool. That's what it seems like grim might actually be like which is pretty interesting

250
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:18,920
But i'm getting distracted talking about the technology instead of the story, which I do mean to talk about the story. So

251
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,680
I think that

252
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:26,120
I like what's going on here. I like this idea that

253
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:33,560
They are going to a place that lukemon knows it was his home that he's sensing that that's I think that's pretty cool

254
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:40,600
um, i'm, you know curious to see where they go with that because uh, I don't know they're just uh,

255
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:45,560
I I did not expect this to turn into like a you know, video game character has amnesia

256
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:50,440
We have to find out you know who he is and where he's going and whatever

257
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,000
I and I especially did not expect that with the digimon. Although

258
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,720
Uh, yeah, I did not expect that with the digimon, but

259
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:58,600
I'm not mad at it. It's just it's kind of interesting

260
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:00,920
um, so i'm

261
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:02,680
I don't know

262
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:06,760
I like it overall. I like the description description of ninth avenue

263
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:12,440
It's like the school on city, which I don't know anything about but apparently it's something from hong kong, which is pretty interesting

264
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,640
and uh, I did think the atmosphere

265
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:20,920
Of it was good. The descriptions were good and you know, i'm engaged in this this world

266
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,360
It's just uh, I think we could have edited out a lot of the beginning stuff

267
00:19:24,360 --> 00:19:31,320
You know, we didn't maybe didn't need 14 chapter parts chapter. We maybe didn't need 14 chapter one section so far

268
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,720
maybe we need like, you know seven of them and

269
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:38,600
Like leave the stuff with leave the stuff with leon out leave the stuff with the cops out

270
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:44,280
And just get more directly into this because I think this is a little cooler and more exciting and you can almost have like a debrief

271
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:50,840
uh going back with ag like reviewing things after he gets into some trouble or I don't know something like that, but

272
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,280
You know overall this isn't the way I would tell this story

273
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,800
but i'm still interested and engaged and i'm gonna keep going because

274
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:03,160
I don't know. I like it. I like how lugamont keeps dogging on ag and uh,

275
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:07,640
He wanted to call him senpai and stuff. That's all so weird. So funny. Um

276
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,320
I mean he's I hear he's supposed to be this loser and you know

277
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:17,080
Sometimes he feels like a loser and sometimes he doesn't this uh chapter section. He definitely felt a little bit more like a loser

278
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,160
So that was uh, I don't know kind of interesting kind of fun

279
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:21,080
but uh

280
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:26,120
That's all I have to say for now. I am going to come back with uh this

281
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:32,680
Next week and uh, you can you can expect for me to continue with this and after seekers is over

282
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:36,440
Who knows what i'll do in the world did you want maybe nothing maybe something maybe it'll be wonderful

283
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:41,560
Who knows but you have to stick around and find out anyway go to the show notes if you want to

284
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:46,360
Find out more information like the word count and how about how long it took for me to to read it

285
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:51,720
And things like that and find the links to keikun's uh releases as well as like the japanese video version

286
00:20:52,120 --> 00:20:54,040
of this if you want to

287
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:59,400
and uh all that sort of stuff anyway, check out the show notes at mjwindows.com and uh look for

288
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:02,440
my

289
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:08,040
Well, actually you might I was gonna say you might want to check out my ultraman inspired children's uh picture book story idea

290
00:21:08,120 --> 00:21:10,120
That I have there on the website

291
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:16,120
Because it's related but but because it's related ultraman. I thought well, maybe it's not pertinent to mention right now. However

292
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:21,800
If you've seen the original ultraman if you've seen the original did you want to adventure the japanese version of it?

293
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,760
the style of like the

294
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:31,400
Credits or like the intro for the episode the little splash screen or whatever very similar very reminiscent

295
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,400
I consider did you want to be a weird?

296
00:21:34,500 --> 00:21:40,040
Descendant of ultraman and godzilla and other stuff in the tokusatsu world

297
00:21:40,360 --> 00:21:41,720
So it feels very appropriate to me

298
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:46,440
And I think you might like that story if you're enjoying or if you're a fan of did you want because I kind of

299
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:52,440
Made it to be like digimon as well as ultraman and other tokusatsu stuff that I enjoy so much

300
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:57,640
Anyway, uh go ahead and check that out over at the website. There will be links everywhere. You can look for

301
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:03,480
Uh, there's an author. Well, anyway, you look around and find it and maybe i'll even include it in the show notes themselves for

302
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:08,680
