00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:19,720
Welcome to Show Joe, the podcast where I, Sarah, introduce my good friend Joe to the

2
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:24,760
show Joe anime genre about girls and romance, typically.

3
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:30,920
Although for our first series, we've decided with intention, of course, to cover Angelic

4
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:36,880
Layer so that Joe can have some time to transition into the genre of show Joe, since it's technically

5
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,320
categorized as shown in, but we decided to re-categorize.

6
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:45,120
We decided to pick not to show Joe, so.

7
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:50,640
In my mind, that's how it was categorized and we're too far in, but.

8
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:51,640
We're too far in.

9
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:52,640
Well, I mean, it's a good starting point.

10
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:56,000
I mean, it's going to be good juxtaposition of like, hey, what's different about this

11
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,880
as opposed to stuff that's like actually in the genre?

12
00:00:58,880 --> 00:00:59,880
I mean, even watching.

13
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:01,280
Because it basically is in the genre.

14
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:05,320
We've been, I was going to say, as we're watching it, comparing it to other shown in, it certainly

15
00:01:05,320 --> 00:01:06,320
is different.

16
00:01:06,320 --> 00:01:11,200
I mean, you see like the aspects where they're trying to be more shown in, but I think in

17
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,320
general, it's still more like a female audience kind of show.

18
00:01:15,320 --> 00:01:16,720
Well, it's mostly just the context, right?

19
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,800
It's just because like it's about these dolls fighting.

20
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,160
But I mean, listen, women like shows when people fight.

21
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:23,160
That's right.

22
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:24,960
Everybody loves to watch a fight.

23
00:01:24,960 --> 00:01:25,960
Okay.

24
00:01:25,960 --> 00:01:26,960
Fighting is in the soul of all of us.

25
00:01:26,960 --> 00:01:27,960
That's right.

26
00:01:27,960 --> 00:01:30,840
Like at the Ant, the crunchy was it the crunchy roll awards?

27
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:31,840
What is it?

28
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,440
Megan, the stallion was what she say?

29
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,600
She was like, oh yeah, she's dressed up like Gojo.

30
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,080
She likes JJK.

31
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:39,080
You know what?

32
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:44,120
It may be basic, but at least it's a big, giant public figure promoting anime.

33
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:45,120
Are you saying it's bad?

34
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:46,120
Wait, hold on.

35
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:47,800
Are you saying JJK is basic?

36
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:48,800
Yeah.

37
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:49,800
Did you see Kaisen?

38
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:50,800
Yeah.

39
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:51,800
You think it's basic?

40
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:52,800
It's popular.

41
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:53,800
I think those are two different things.

42
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:54,800
Both?

43
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:55,800
I don't know.

44
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,200
I mean, I haven't seen season two, so apparently it goes down.

45
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:03,000
But just based off the first season, it didn't, I personally did not feel like it brought

46
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,000
anything new.

47
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,840
Now the characters are all that remarkable to me.

48
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,480
So to me, it's a pretty just like basic.

49
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:11,480
Yeah.

50
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:12,480
I mean, that's like Europe.

51
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:13,480
That's not like the consensus.

52
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:14,480
No, it's not.

53
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,480
No, people freaking love that show.

54
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,640
The ending song is really catchy for season one.

55
00:02:18,640 --> 00:02:19,640
I will say that.

56
00:02:19,640 --> 00:02:23,880
We should have a conversation at some point about anime opinions because I also don't

57
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:25,600
like JJK for different reasons.

58
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:26,600
Oh, really?

59
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,040
I was because I read the manga and like, oh man, you want to watch something spiral out

60
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,000
of control forever in a way that makes no sense.

61
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:34,000
Oh, okay.

62
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,160
I have not read the manga, but okay, Sunday on a bonus episode.

63
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:39,160
Sunday.

64
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:40,160
We'll tear it to pieces.

65
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,480
Sunday, I'll talk about my unpopular shonen opinions, like how I don't like this and

66
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,360
how maybe Hunter Hunter isn't that good.

67
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:46,360
But you know.

68
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:47,360
Okay.

69
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:48,360
Hunter Hunter.

70
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:49,840
I can't get into this.

71
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,760
I was going to say, I do like that.

72
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,560
It just feels more lighthearted at least in the earlier seasons.

73
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,160
Like it feels pure somehow.

74
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:58,160
Yeah.

75
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,360
So I've only watched the earlier seasons and yeah, okay.

76
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:01,360
Sure.

77
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,760
I mean, let's just say it can't be that good because at some point I got to what I thought

78
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,000
was a filler arc and I was like, ew, what is this?

79
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,520
And apparently that's canon.

80
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,360
We can't talk about this now.

81
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:12,360
No.

82
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:13,360
Okay.

83
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,120
But yes, I'm Sarah.

84
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:16,120
Obviously Joe.

85
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:17,120
Should we start with news?

86
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:18,120
Oh yeah.

87
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:19,120
I mean, McDonald's.

88
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,120
That's who you're going to start with?

89
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,120
The like shitty McDonald's ad campaign.

90
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:25,120
Yeah.

91
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:26,120
Have you seen any of this?

92
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:27,120
What is this?

93
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:28,120
I don't know what this is.

94
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,120
People keep leaving like, oh, Joe, you'd like this and I'm like, I don't.

95
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,760
Honestly, I haven't really seen much.

96
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:37,240
I've seen like mention of it in news stuff, but I mean, it's just cool.

97
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:41,840
I mean, along the vein of, you know, Megan the stallion promoting anime and stuff.

98
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,120
McDonald's getting on the anime bandwagon.

99
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,360
I guess because I mean, anime is mainstream.

100
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:52,600
But like for it's nice to see that a corporation is acknowledging that it can be profitable

101
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,800
and hopefully now McDonald's can go to hell.

102
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:56,800
What?

103
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:57,800
The sausage I can cheese Mcmuffin.

104
00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:58,800
No.

105
00:03:58,800 --> 00:03:59,800
It's so good.

106
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:00,800
I'm sorry.

107
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,920
Your crimes against humanity are not forgiven McDonald's.

108
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:04,920
Oh, okay.

109
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:06,920
Could have fooled me.

110
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:14,320
No, no, no cutesy anime ad campaign is going to fix is going to resolve you of your crime,

111
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,560
or many numerous crimes.

112
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,120
Okay, nevermind.

113
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:19,120
Nevermind.

114
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,120
No, I'm kidding.

115
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,600
It's another big anime news.

116
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:30,080
The creator of Dragon Ball unfortunately passed a curatoriyama.

117
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:35,960
I've only watched the first season of Dragon Ball, but that series is like a huge milestone

118
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,120
in anime and so many people of our age.

119
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,560
That's the gateway anime that got them into it.

120
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,800
So we appreciate that contribution.

121
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,800
Probably the first thing I ever saw was like Dragon Ball.

122
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,120
You're like Dragon Ball Z.

123
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,960
Dragon Ball, Speed Racer or Sailor Moon.

124
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,160
Those were like the three in the 90s.

125
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:54,160
You saw Speed Racer?

126
00:04:54,160 --> 00:05:02,600
Yeah, I had cousins who had like Sailor Moon and Speed Racer like on VHS, the whole series.

127
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:03,600
Oh.

128
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,360
So I've seen a little bit of that.

129
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,280
Okay, I guess that's a sports anime.

130
00:05:08,280 --> 00:05:09,760
I vaguely remember it.

131
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:10,760
I don't know.

132
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:11,760
It's racing.

133
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:13,960
I don't know, but is it actually about racing?

134
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,640
I thought it was about some wacky adventures that got you to racing.

135
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:17,640
I don't know.

136
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,880
I so vaguely remember watching it.

137
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,360
Okay, what news were you going to mention?

138
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,680
Oh, that was the news I was going to mention.

139
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,040
The curatoriyama news.

140
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:32,040
It's been really nice at least seeing a lot of people on Twitter like share stuff that

141
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:33,320
was inspirational for them.

142
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:34,320
I learned a lot of stuff.

143
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:38,440
I learned about Dr. Slump and I learned about, I guess he made the slime from Dragon Quest.

144
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:42,040
Just like extremely iconic and did a lot of the designs for that.

145
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:43,600
Yeah, the same art style.

146
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,560
I find a smage of a dragon quest game.

147
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:47,560
Yeah.

148
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:48,800
So, you know, he was 68.

149
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:49,800
It's pretty young.

150
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:50,800
Yeah, I know.

151
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,600
Although like the working conditions for Monaco are really bad.

152
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,720
And like a lot of them have a lot of health problems because of these are bad industries.

153
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,480
These are bad industries to work in is my understanding.

154
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,000
I mean, I don't think that was necessarily related to the curatoriyama.

155
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,600
I think, you know, he had like a blood clot or something.

156
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:11,200
But never other notable Monaco have died very young for things that seem preventable industry

157
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:12,200
bad.

158
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:13,200
One other.

159
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:14,200
I mean, this isn't tech.

160
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:18,600
Well, I guess technically it could be tied into anime, but Rooster Teeth is closing.

161
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,520
Oh, yeah, I did see that.

162
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:26,920
And because they made Ruby, which is I guess anime kind of an anime inspired anime adjacent.

163
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,520
Yeah, something notable.

164
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:30,520
How do you feel about it?

165
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,200
Because I know that you like because I stopped, you know, I stopped watching Rooster Teeth

166
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,720
like 10 years ago and like a lot of people that I was familiar with, they're kind of

167
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:37,720
left.

168
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:42,240
And now it's just like a honestly, I'd watch a few seasons of Red vs. Blue probably in

169
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:43,240
high school.

170
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:48,040
And then I think once I got out of college, I listened to their podcast and that was pretty

171
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:49,040
entertaining.

172
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:50,640
Eventually I fell off that.

173
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:55,160
But my hairdresser, I mean, she's married to Jeff Ramsey.

174
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:59,400
So like I've met him a few times and Millie and I told you I went to like their wedding

175
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:03,280
thing, so I saw Gavin and Barbara and Michael and stuff.

176
00:07:03,280 --> 00:07:07,280
I haven't like consumed, I guess I watched a little bit of Ruby as well.

177
00:07:07,280 --> 00:07:11,080
I haven't been like an active consumer of their stuff much.

178
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:15,000
Yeah, I, from my understanding, like I haven't really been keeping up with any of it, like

179
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,320
something about like the production setup.

180
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,040
It was a very troubled company.

181
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,800
Yeah, there was like years ago, there's a huge layoff wave.

182
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,680
And also they're owned by Warner Brothers, which means everything's going to hell because

183
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,520
Warner Brothers is continuing there.

184
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,240
Did you see that they announced that they're going to take, they're going to list a bunch

185
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,160
of like games off of steam?

186
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:37,600
I can't believe that like they're able to do, like they're already able to shelve movies

187
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,440
that were completed to like write them off as a tax loss, right?

188
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,440
And they just have like gotten away with this.

189
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:47,880
Like it's bizarre to me that nobody has been able to like regulatorally or anything.

190
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:48,880
This is a bad trend.

191
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:53,760
This is why you should get Blu-rays of everything and get physical media copies of stuff.

192
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:59,320
Thank God I have Angelic Layer on box set and dynotopia on DVD.

193
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:00,320
Dynotopia?

194
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:01,320
Oh God.

195
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:02,320
Yeah.

196
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:03,320
Okay.

197
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:04,320
What is dynotopia?

198
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:09,160
It was this mini series that I freaking love and no one else seems to love it because

199
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:13,760
it was, you know, anything with dinosaurs on TV that doesn't have the budget of a movie

200
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,000
like the effects.

201
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,000
Yikes.

202
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,120
I love it.

203
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:21,160
My sister rolls her eyes every time I mention it because it's a mini series, but I would

204
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,360
watch it in its entirety, which is four hours.

205
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:29,120
Like that's something they should do a reboot of this thing that only I love.

206
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:30,120
Dynotopia?

207
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:31,120
It's, I love it so much.

208
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:32,960
I mean, it's probably better than these Jurassic Park remakes.

209
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,720
They should just make one where you hang out on an island with the dinosaurs.

210
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,440
We'll like to see it.

211
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:38,440
Yeah.

212
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:43,400
I mean, cause all these, I mean, Jurassic Park, I guess all like big movie dinosaurs

213
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:49,280
have been in aggressive, like attacking us way, not in a like, oh, what would it be like

214
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,520
to live together with dinosaurs?

215
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,920
It would be a different take.

216
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,360
Jurassic World Dominion atrocity.

217
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,760
Like no one died in front of my eyes.

218
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:00,760
That's everyone should die.

219
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,400
That's why you're mad at it because they'll be died on screen.

220
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:04,400
Yeah.

221
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,600
Or are you just saying you want the everybody hangs out with dinosaurs show?

222
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,600
I'm just saying that would be a different, I'm not saying that I don't like.

223
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:16,360
I think my, was it nihilistic tendencies come from probably like listening to Ian Malcolm

224
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,160
as a small child all the time.

225
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:23,200
Humidity, getting what's coming to it for messing with mother nature.

226
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:24,320
I love that.

227
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:25,320
I love it so much.

228
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,280
So dinosaurs should be eating people in a world in which they've been.

229
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:35,560
Just say the unjust world separated us from the dinosaurs so they can't eat the people

230
00:09:35,560 --> 00:09:36,560
I don't like.

231
00:09:36,560 --> 00:09:37,560
Well, just anyone.

232
00:09:37,560 --> 00:09:39,560
You know, we haven't really had any.

233
00:09:39,560 --> 00:09:40,560
Oh yeah.

234
00:09:40,560 --> 00:09:42,280
Like there's a little dinosaur consumption.

235
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:43,280
Yeah.

236
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:47,160
Like, you know, you know, it's the popular thing for shows that kill off characters

237
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:48,160
you don't expect.

238
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,880
I mean, I had that really happen in Jurassic Park.

239
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,160
When you watch apocalypse movie, are you cheering for the apocalypse?

240
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:54,160
Yeah.

241
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:55,160
Are you like, yeah, let's go.

242
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:56,160
Hit that hit that.

243
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,160
Day after tomorrow.

244
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,160
Like get it.

245
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,160
Get everything.

246
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:03,160
God.

247
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,400
We're going to have to, we're going to have to explore this.

248
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,720
This will be like the through line of the podcast as we check in with your nihilistic

249
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,160
views on how you want humanity to be destroyed every week.

250
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:14,160
Yeah.

251
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:20,080
And I don't know, I'm just like team earth, not humans and you don't consider humans

252
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,000
a part of earth.

253
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,000
The bad part.

254
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,880
That's why it's like maybe a zombie apocalypse wouldn't be that bad because then as long

255
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:31,760
as they don't eat the animals and it's just people and then the planet can restore itself.

256
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:32,760
How is that better?

257
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:38,160
How is that possibly better because we're not like defiling the planet anymore with our

258
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:43,160
you're just going to like become like, I don't know, poison ivy is a certain thing.

259
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:48,160
That's why I'm like, yeah, Thanos, I can see your point, my dude.

260
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,600
No, here's the thing.

261
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:51,600
Poison Ivy actually correct.

262
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:55,600
She can't be a villain anymore because she's just like right about everything.

263
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:59,680
She's like Magneto where it's just like you look back and you're like, you know, Magneto

264
00:10:59,680 --> 00:11:01,640
kind of right about everything.

265
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:05,760
Like I wouldn't just go around indiscriminately killing people, but like overall the overall

266
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,600
plan pretty good plan.

267
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,720
Yes, I know they just they don't do it.

268
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:11,760
They do it in a way that makes them look crazy.

269
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:12,760
That's the problem.

270
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:14,560
Anyway, what have you been watching?

271
00:11:14,560 --> 00:11:15,560
Let's see.

272
00:11:15,560 --> 00:11:16,560
Okay.

273
00:11:16,560 --> 00:11:18,120
Well, it's been a very international women's day.

274
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:19,120
Actually, hold on.

275
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:20,120
Okay, let's do that.

276
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:21,560
So this last week, international women's day.

277
00:11:21,560 --> 00:11:22,560
Yes.

278
00:11:22,560 --> 00:11:24,080
It's international women's week.

279
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:25,840
And then I think a specific day.

280
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:26,840
It's a week.

281
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:28,040
Yeah, it's a week long thing.

282
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:29,200
No, sorry, women.

283
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:35,640
I figured why not acknowledge it by each of us kind of mentioning our favorite female

284
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,400
anime character.

285
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:41,640
And I guess I'll start off since I already have one in mind.

286
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,800
Well, I have two in mind, but I'm trying to think.

287
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:48,800
So I'm going to do obviously I love Car Captor Sakura.

288
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:55,600
And it's not very often that a protagonist is my favorite character, but Sakura Kinamoto,

289
00:11:55,600 --> 00:12:00,560
who's like 10 or 11, I think, in the beginning of the series.

290
00:12:00,560 --> 00:12:05,880
She's like a normal kind of peppy girl, but she's not in excess, annoyingly happy and

291
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,560
also, you know, she's not just boring.

292
00:12:08,560 --> 00:12:13,240
Like her brother will pick on her and she'll retaliate and kind of bicker with him.

293
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,880
It's not like she's just sweet and easygoing in all aspects.

294
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,200
So I guess deaf and she's super cute.

295
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:20,920
So that doesn't hurt either.

296
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:27,960
And then my other pick is Kyoko Mogami from or Mogumi, maybe from Skip Beat, which read

297
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,120
the manga and I did not do justice.

298
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,200
It's like the longest running Shoujo manga I own.

299
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,720
I have like 48 volumes.

300
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:37,720
It's so long.

301
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,960
Because that is a lot more humorous.

302
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:41,600
Like it's really funny.

303
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:47,520
And I like her because the plot of it is that she's getting revenge because she was wronged

304
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:52,800
by a childhood friend and I like love the pettiness of that.

305
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,280
Like, bitch, I'm a come for you.

306
00:12:55,280 --> 00:13:01,440
So and she's just so funny because she before she was betrayed, she was super like, you know,

307
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:08,040
la la la rosy eyed thing so that part of her will still kind of show up every once in

308
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,480
a while and then it gets like destroyed by something else.

309
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:12,480
It's really funny.

310
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,520
But yeah, those are my picks.

311
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:15,520
How about you, Joe?

312
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:19,840
So I got this assignment like 10 minutes ago.

313
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:25,960
So I just first off, I want to say it's really hard to find like lists of cool women anime

314
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,320
characters because you just got like a waifu list in that.

315
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:34,880
So I have I am picking also picked to because I don't know, I got two tabs open.

316
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:39,160
First one is Utena Tenjo from Revolutionary Girl, Utena.

317
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,200
She owns we love lesbians here.

318
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,120
We love people who can sort of fight.

319
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,480
She is I don't know.

320
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:46,480
She's like really cool.

321
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,440
I mean, she's like the main character of that show.

322
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:53,720
She does a lot of stuff that's very fun and actiony, but also like it's a little bit more

323
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:54,720
internality.

324
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:58,480
It's I'm pretty sure I'm not 100 percent, but I'm pretty sure that Revolutionary Girl

325
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,600
Utena was made by a lot of the people that made Sailor Moon.

326
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,000
I think our was the season that was kind of dark.

327
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,520
And then they were told basically like, no, you have to lighten it back up.

328
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,880
So they all left and made this show.

329
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:13,360
So it carries on a lot of that stuff with like a lot of interesting ideas.

330
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:19,400
And Utena gets to be the express or a lot of those ideas about gender dynamics and how

331
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,800
you dress and how you act and all this other stuff.

332
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:22,800
And it's great.

333
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:23,800
She's great.

334
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:25,240
Yeah, that's an older one, right?

335
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,680
So back then that was quite distinct.

336
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:29,680
Yeah, yeah.

337
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:31,480
So that was a revolutionary.

338
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,480
You could say trailblazer.

339
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,760
Yeah, I mean, you know, it's like definitely like one of the first in that space that was

340
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:37,760
doing that kind of thing.

341
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:39,880
And then for my second one, because I don't know what else to pick.

342
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,120
And I feel like I should pick more than just one.

343
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:47,280
I also like Maka Alwan from Soul Eater because she wheels a scythe and is cool.

344
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,280
Yeah, I have a poster.

345
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:50,840
The scythe thing where she spins it.

346
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:52,600
Yeah, because she owns dude.

347
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:53,600
It's cool.

348
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:54,600
Yeah.

349
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,120
I mean, seriously, so funny.

350
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,200
I love Death the Kid and it's unique.

351
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:00,200
That one.

352
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:01,200
Maka's great.

353
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:02,200
She's just like a big nerd.

354
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:03,520
It's really good and a lot of different stuff.

355
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,520
And she's like the hope character and is like able to ground everything.

356
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:08,120
Yeah, she's cool.

357
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,080
And she's voiced by Laura Bailey and the English dub.

358
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:12,080
I love Laura Bailey.

359
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:15,520
There are probably better other picks that I will have later if I think about it more.

360
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:20,440
I was gonna say, because there's like, I named one of my, I'm down to one ferret now, but

361
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:26,640
I did my last ferret, her name was Revy from Black Lagoon, which I didn't even finish.

362
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,840
But I was like, ferrets are crazy and she's a psycho bitch.

363
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,480
So I'm gonna name my ferret after her.

364
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:33,480
She's cool.

365
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:34,920
Like a cool looking character.

366
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,000
The show, I can't believe I watched it.

367
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,360
I was probably like 16 when I watched it too.

368
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,600
But so not my cup of tea, but she was cool.

369
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:43,600
Also Claymore.

370
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,400
Claymore is just full of badass chicks.

371
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,040
I don't know if you've watched or read it.

372
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:49,480
I have known nothing about Claymore.

373
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,120
I always, I'm always like, is this really a to berserk?

374
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:53,120
I don't know.

375
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:54,120
It looks the same to me.

376
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:55,120
It is intense.

377
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,120
Like it's a very harsh art style.

378
00:15:58,120 --> 00:15:59,120
It's really cool though.

379
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:00,880
I need to get the manga.

380
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:05,520
I feel like I saw the box set, but I was like, nope, that's expensive to buy the whole manga

381
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,400
series and I got to have some self control.

382
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:13,160
It's cool though, because it's just like chicks are the badasses in that show because dudes

383
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:19,440
are weak-willed and turn into monsters more quickly than Claymores, which are the female

384
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:24,880
females, which basically are these warriors that were human, get injected with like yokai

385
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,600
blood and become hybrids.

386
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:32,160
And eventually you like succumb to the madness and become a full blown yokai.

387
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:38,600
And they just found that women can hold out longer before becoming one than men that they

388
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:39,600
tried with.

389
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:40,600
So it's cool.

390
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,520
So they're using them all as tools?

391
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:43,520
Yeah.

392
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:44,520
Okay.

393
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:48,320
I mean, it's like a monster riddled world.

394
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:49,320
Yeah.

395
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,200
The characters are beautiful.

396
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,160
I objectify my women differently.

397
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:54,880
I turn them into super weapons.

398
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,880
No, I mean, you know, you still look bad.

399
00:16:57,880 --> 00:16:58,880
No, I don't.

400
00:16:58,880 --> 00:16:59,880
It's like I think it happens in real life.

401
00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:02,920
I mean, that's just like what every actual person in the military is.

402
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:09,160
And then, okay, so as far as what I personally have been doing, it's been a busy work week.

403
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:16,640
We had a new DLC launch Ice Lair, which in the vein of Women's Week or whatever, it's

404
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:22,720
based off the layer of a female villainess that has little puff and flunkies and it's

405
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:23,720
cool.

406
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,080
Totally check it out if you like walking about me golf.

407
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:31,400
And then also we yesterday we had an event and we announced that we're partnering with

408
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,920
Wallace and Gromit to make a wall.

409
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:35,320
It's a themed course.

410
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:36,320
Yeah.

411
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:37,320
Yeah.

412
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:42,400
So yeah, I had to I hadn't really I knew of it.

413
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,920
I've seen chicken run by hadn't watched Wallace and Gromit.

414
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:46,920
You've been watching Wallace and Gromit.

415
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:47,920
No, so I need to.

416
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:48,920
You should watch Wallace and Gromit.

417
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:49,920
Oh, yeah.

418
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:50,920
On talker.

419
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:51,920
All right.

420
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:52,920
Maybe I'll buy a VR headset.

421
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:53,920
Hell yeah, man.

422
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:54,920
All right.

423
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:55,920
So what have you been watching?

424
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:56,920
Oh, sorry.

425
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:57,920
Oh, sorry.

426
00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:58,920
No, okay.

427
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,000
I was going to say watching Traders, which is a live reality TV, so I won't go into

428
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:06,200
it and then playing Horizon Zero Dawn because I need to cram that in.

429
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:11,160
So it's so I remember everything for the 21st one for Ben and Wes comes to steam.

430
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:12,160
But that's what I mean.

431
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:13,160
It's been busy.

432
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,000
I don't have as much time to do stuff.

433
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:16,000
How about you, Joe?

434
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:17,000
What have you been up to?

435
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,600
I finished two series.

436
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,960
I finished Gundam Stardust Memory.

437
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,000
Not that I there's not that much to say about that.

438
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:26,000
It's not that good.

439
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:27,560
It looks really nice though.

440
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,600
Cool, cool Gundam fights bad.

441
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:31,600
Everything else.

442
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:32,960
Actually, no, the Xeon stuff is pretty good.

443
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:37,160
It just does the thing where it's like this is going to be about like a romance story.

444
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,160
Piloting the Gundam is like being a man.

445
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,800
And it's like, I don't think that's I don't think you should I don't think you should

446
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:42,800
say that.

447
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:43,800
It's good.

448
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:44,800
I don't think it makes a lot of sense.

449
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:46,360
You kind of just dies pointlessly when you do that.

450
00:18:46,360 --> 00:18:50,760
Like it's a lot of bad ideas surrounding it.

451
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:54,880
But the thing that does have good ideas surrounding it is the other thing I watched, which is

452
00:18:54,880 --> 00:19:00,360
I watched the 12 episode OVA series, Armor Hunter, Mellow Link, which takes place in

453
00:19:00,360 --> 00:19:01,360
the bottoms universe.

454
00:19:01,360 --> 00:19:04,080
I'm still on bottoms.

455
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:05,080
But it's unrelated.

456
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:12,520
So basically that that show is about a guy named Mellow Link who was in a squad, like

457
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:18,640
a military squad that was sacrificed intentionally so that his higher ups could steal a bunch

458
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:23,000
of they were sabotaged by like they were set up by their superiors to go like hold off a

459
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:27,840
bunch of mechs with basically like anti tank guns.

460
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,400
So like just as big, this is enormous gun.

461
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,120
It was like 30 guys fighting 50 tanks.

462
00:19:33,120 --> 00:19:36,760
So it's like they were absolutely going to lose the whole time and they do like to completely

463
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:37,760
get wrecked.

464
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:39,040
But Mellow Link survives.

465
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:43,160
And what he's doing is he is going and getting revenge on all of the higher ups that got him

466
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:48,320
killed because they were like using it as a cover to steal some like military resource

467
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,720
for some other thing that happens in like the bottom show.

468
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:55,240
And so every episode is just like a set piece where Mellow Link is there and there's the

469
00:19:55,240 --> 00:20:01,360
guy he's going to kill and the guy who's going to die is like, ah, yes, here I am at my extravagant

470
00:20:01,360 --> 00:20:04,480
French villa in the Riviera or whatever.

471
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,200
Oh, yes, Mellow Link is around.

472
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:10,560
Hmm, sure, hope nothing bad happens and every episode ends with Mellow Link totally killing

473
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:11,560
that guy.

474
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,560
And it's just like a revenge story in 12 parts and it's very good.

475
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:15,560
I have a question.

476
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:17,000
It gets in and it gets out.

477
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:18,000
What is?

478
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:19,640
Yeah, I feel like I've looked this up in the past.

479
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,680
What's OVA stand for?

480
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:23,680
Original video animation.

481
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:24,680
Okay.

482
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:26,600
Yeah, I feel like I don't see it for newer content.

483
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:30,040
I feel like this is more popular maybe in the early 2000s.

484
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:35,600
Like the attack on Titan endings would be like a thing that would normally be an OVA in my

485
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:39,200
opinion, but like it just aired on TV because it's like a super popular thing.

486
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,520
Also, like with the whole streaming airing on TV is not that important.

487
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:43,520
It's bad.

488
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:44,520
Attack on Titan is not a good show.

489
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,680
I just, I like the first season and then not the rest.

490
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:53,480
I just, when there's, I don't know, when it's like mystery and like, oh, we don't know why,

491
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:57,880
but then it gets into like all this world politics shit I hate.

492
00:20:57,880 --> 00:20:58,880
Okay, yeah.

493
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:00,520
We need to have that.

494
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:05,240
We need to have a separate conversation about unpopular shown in opinions because, yeah,

495
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:10,240
Attack on Titan is like pretty fun until it gets to like weird Imperial Japan apology

496
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:11,240
and it is bad.

497
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:18,880
I just want to see people devastated by giant monster things, not like, oh, the king and

498
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,040
royal family and blah, blah, blah.

499
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:22,040
Yeah.

500
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:27,200
I love to make the divine right to rule a literal thing in my universe as much as I like, I

501
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:28,720
like politics and stuff.

502
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,920
Unless your politics are bad in which case, I think you're an idiot.

503
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:32,920
So, okay.

504
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:38,920
But that's all I've got if you want to get into Angelic Lay.

505
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,440
We'll get to the, yeah, we'll start talking about the thing.

506
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,560
Dude, I have so much to say.

507
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:45,560
So long.

508
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,600
Okay, this is gonna be a long one.

509
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:51,800
Angelic Lay, Episode 9 is called Sing Masaki, the deus is an idol.

510
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:53,960
We open on Masaki watching TV.

511
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,800
She sees an ad for Ringo's new album and freaks out because that's the girl she been

512
00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:59,680
in the bathroom last episode.

513
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,480
Even though she went to her concert last episode, so I like, I don't know.

514
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:06,000
I guess she just didn't get very good seats so she couldn't actually sit here.

515
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:07,000
Open.

516
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:08,000
Okay.

517
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:14,160
Um, we cut to Ringo at her, at her home eating milk and cookies like Santa Claus and watching

518
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,720
footage of Angelic Lay or matches from the tournament where she's doing her little study

519
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,200
hour for herself.

520
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:23,480
The next morning, Masaki, Tamio and Kataru are riding on the train to the Kanto qualifying

521
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:24,480
games.

522
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:28,200
Kataru lets Masaki listen to Ringo's new album on a CD player and Masaki reflects

523
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,480
on Ringo's advice to shine on stage from last episode.

524
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,880
At the Kanto games, we see the girls from the peanut gallery.

525
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,120
That's what I'm calling them by the way, the floor.

526
00:22:36,120 --> 00:22:40,280
At the Tokyo tournament in the opening ceremony and also Hotaco and Masaki are there.

527
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,840
So we're going to be playing against each other at this arc.

528
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:47,040
The announcer tells us that the best 24 players from the region are gathered here and it's

529
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,320
a single elimination tournament, which means if you lose once you're out.

530
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,960
They also announced that the first match will be between Masaki and Ringo and Masaki is surprised

531
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:55,280
to see Ringo there.

532
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,360
After the opening ceremony, Ringo catches up with a flustered Masaki.

533
00:22:58,360 --> 00:23:02,760
That Shoko shows up and Masaki asks if she's here for her, but she's not.

534
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:06,160
Ringo tells her that she's here to interview her because she...

535
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:11,680
Wait, Ringo tells us that Shoko is here to interview her because she is quote, a weird

536
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:13,680
idol, which is how she self describes.

537
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:17,840
Then they walk off, but Shoko rushes back to tell Masaki that yeah, she's here for work,

538
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:21,680
but she is going to watch her match because Aunt Shoko is very nice.

539
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,520
Unlike another adult who's going to watch the match and not say anything.

540
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:29,720
In the cafeteria, Tamayo speculates as to why Ringo plays Angelic Layer.

541
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:33,040
Masaki asks to listen to her album again so she can learn about her opponent.

542
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:36,560
While listening to the song, Masaki wonders why she plays Angelic Layer on top of all

543
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,400
the other things she has going on, with, you know, being an idol and stuff.

544
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:43,600
A few tables over, Shoko asks Ringo why she's playing Angelic Layer on top of all the other

545
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,040
stuff she's doing, like being an idol and stuff.

546
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,760
Ringo says management doesn't like it, but she does it anyway.

547
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:52,640
Masaki gets thirsty and goes to order some juice but is surprised when she is served

548
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:54,680
by none other than Ichan in disguise.

549
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:59,360
Ichan asks her why she's so nervous, and Masaki tells him that she's intimidated about playing

550
00:23:59,360 --> 00:24:00,360
against an idol.

551
00:24:00,360 --> 00:24:03,760
Ichan tells Masaki that the idol of Angelic Layer is the one that shines brightest in

552
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:05,960
the layer, and then he's dragged off by Ogata.

553
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:10,240
In the control room, Ogata's coworker, the woman whose tag I couldn't read last time,

554
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:11,240
I looked it up.

555
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,320
Her name is Fujimori, and it's spelled with some kanji I'd never seen before, so that

556
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,000
was like a huge pain to do.

557
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:20,800
Fujimori tells him that Shoko is on leave but is probably here at the tournament.

558
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:24,560
Ichan freaks out and tells Ogata to find her, and if he doesn't, he'll name a weird-looking

559
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:29,800
doll Ogata-chi and sleep with it every night.

560
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:33,520
The first match is about to begin and everybody is watching, including Ryo and the bullies

561
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:38,160
from last episode, the Pina Gallery Girls, Ojiro, Shoko, and lastly Shuko.

562
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:42,520
Shoko gets her cameraman to film Masaki's walk on because she's cool.

563
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:47,440
The match starts, and Masaki throws Ikaro into the layer, Ringo throws her, Angel Ranga

564
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,560
in the layer as well.

565
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:53,880
Ranga is dressed like some kind of vaguely Middle Eastern or Indian dancer.

566
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:55,880
It's kind of weird.

567
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:59,600
Ranga starts doing some weird dance and starts to chip away at Hikaru's hit points because

568
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,720
she's combining the dance with fighting.

569
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:05,000
Ringo is hyped that Masaki isn't going to lose too quickly and starts to pump up the

570
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:06,000
crowd.

571
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:10,720
Ranga starts dancing more intensely and then starts sending out shock waves from her body

572
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:12,840
in a move called the Dance of Death.

573
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:18,200
Masaki is confused as to how Hikaru is getting hit at a distance by invisible moves, and she

574
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:22,080
starts to doubt herself in the face of Ringo who's better than her at everything.

575
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:25,600
Also, I didn't mention this, but the entire episode Kataro's been quietly cheering for

576
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:29,800
Ringo because it's his favorite idol, but now he decides to loudly cheer for Masaki

577
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:34,440
by yelling, and Masaki hears it and gets all blushy and starts to pull together.

578
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:39,480
Masaki recognizes that Ranga's attacks are actually her sending out wind at her opponent,

579
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:44,280
like condensed wind blasts, but it can only go on a straight line and she's able to

580
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,320
use that to get Hikaru to start dodging them.

581
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:50,600
Masaki asserts that even though she's a normal girl, she can shine in the layer and

582
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:55,040
we cut to Shoko watching footage of her interview with Ringo where Ringo says that she's just

583
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:56,600
a girl who loves Angelic Layer.

584
00:25:56,600 --> 00:26:01,600
Masaki then starts singing the song that Ringo sang to her in the bathroom from last episode

585
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:05,800
and Hikaru starts moving along with the rhythm of the Dance of Death because they are the

586
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:07,040
same rhythm.

587
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:11,760
Some of the people in the crowd start cheering for Masaki as Hikaru and Ranga brawl.

588
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:15,760
Eventually Hikaru is able to knock Ranga out of the ring using the same type of kick that

589
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,560
Suzuka uses for rolling thunder.

590
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:23,720
Everyone cheers for Hikaru as Shoko comments that Masaki was shining brightly and then

591
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:24,720
she just leaves.

592
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,920
The peanut gallery comment that Masaki must have good fighting sense if she's able to

593
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:32,160
copy rolling thunder so easily after seeing it only one time and Ojiro comes and tells

594
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:33,960
him that he agrees.

595
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:38,160
Also the youngest member of the peanut gallery has a crush on Ojiro and asks for his autograph.

596
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,480
After the match Masaki apologizes to Ringo for hurting her Angel.

597
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:45,080
Ringo thinks that's funny and she drags Masaki over to Shoko so she can get an camera shot

598
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:48,160
of the two of them doing a peace sign together as we cut to credits.

599
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,640
Boy oh boy do I have a lot to say in this episode.

600
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:53,760
Okay we'll say stuff because that was really long.

601
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:55,800
I feel like that was, there's so much stuff.

602
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:59,120
The problem with this episode is that they cut, they do a lot of cuts to different things

603
00:26:59,120 --> 00:27:00,640
which is cool in the episode.

604
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:02,840
It's really hard to describe that in a paragraph.

605
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:03,840
To make it make sense.

606
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:04,840
Yeah.

607
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:12,080
We last episode she saw her in the bathroom and then she saw her on the stage like probably

608
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:17,680
maybe an hour or less between the two encounters and then it's not until she sees on TV that

609
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:18,680
she connects the dots.

610
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:19,680
Dumb.

611
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:20,680
She's a dummy.

612
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:26,800
And then I said Ringo has the same diet as me just garbage like just eating cookies instead

613
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:27,800
of a real meal.

614
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:29,320
Also I just hate that.

615
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:34,280
I mean I don't know that this has made any improvements in anime today but just when

616
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:38,840
they have characters for the same outfit every day I mean if it's your school uniform it

617
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:39,840
makes sense.

618
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:43,720
Ringo and Idol you would think she'd have a bunch of cute outfits because she wears the

619
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:44,720
same outfit.

620
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:45,720
Yeah.

621
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:50,200
I think it's, so the part where Ringo goes and eats milk and cookies it's 8pm.

622
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:51,200
I have a note.

623
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:54,640
Ringo Seto 8pm milk and cookies watching Angelic Lair.

624
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:59,000
Also okay did she, what's the, does everyone have access?

625
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,000
Did she have her manager film?

626
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,320
Are they even allowed to film Angelic Lair?

627
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:07,080
Did they like air it on the news later or something?

628
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:08,080
Probably I don't know.

629
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:09,080
Yeah.

630
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:16,360
And because she's watching, I don't know if she just watched all of 24 contestants footage

631
00:28:16,360 --> 00:28:21,040
knowing who made it or if she somehow already knew who she was going to face off against

632
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:25,600
which Misaki did and so does Ringo have like these inside connections that she uses to

633
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:30,440
her advantage to like prepare beforehand knowing who she's going to fight already?

634
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,400
Yeah those, those I thought I had.

635
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,360
It's like, does Misaki like guitar now?

636
00:28:35,360 --> 00:28:37,840
Like there's something weird thing going on where it's like everybody's cheering for

637
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:43,600
Ringo and I can't tell if this is like a, just like a general like sense of feeling inferior

638
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:48,120
because the person you're playing is more popular than you or if it's like actually

639
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:49,600
specifically Katara.

640
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:55,040
Yeah, because up to this point, I mean she, she doesn't seem interested in him at all

641
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:59,560
and then also Katara didn't even see that into her last episode and now he does.

642
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,760
Yeah, it's a little weird.

643
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:05,560
I mean like this is a thing, it's one of these things where like, Tomiho constantly makes

644
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:06,560
jokes about them.

645
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:12,160
Yeah, I mean like being love rivals and all that stuff but like neither Katara or Misaki

646
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,320
seemed to take that seriously.

647
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,080
But then I guess maybe it is.

648
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:20,640
I mean only when it's convenient for the sake of plot I guess.

649
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:21,640
Yeah.

650
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:25,400
I mean I guess this goes into our, what we talked about earlier, I don't remember if

651
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:30,760
this is before we start recording but that shonen romance just sucks and this is technically

652
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:35,280
a shonen so of course the hinted romance is going to be fine.

653
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:38,560
I think you're confusing cause and effect here.

654
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:42,760
It's not like it's going to be bad because it's a shonen like it's just the genre is

655
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:43,760
not very good at it.

656
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:46,000
I don't know if this will be a specific example of that.

657
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:47,280
I just can't tell which one's which.

658
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,960
Like I can't, I can't, because we don't ever get any time for like characters to talk about

659
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:52,600
their feelings toward each other.

660
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:58,680
It's just like this vague thing of like is Katara just like a stand in for your friends

661
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:02,160
cheering for you or like people that are important for you cheering for you.

662
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:06,000
It's like again, I mean this kind of ties in with the whole like all of her mentor figures

663
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,960
watch her from the sidelines where they don't like cheer for her like loudly or actively

664
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:11,160
or like overtly right?

665
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,640
Like Shuko's there watching this match but she's never going to talk to Masaki about

666
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:15,640
it.

667
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:19,880
Ichan watches from the control room, Hadoko watches but like they're not being loud and

668
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:22,520
cheering and like standing up and clapping you know.

669
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:23,520
Yeah.

670
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:27,800
But it's nice to see, I mean I think Ranga is the first not white doll we've seen.

671
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:32,040
So that was a nice, nice to see some diversity in the angels.

672
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:39,000
Yeah, I mean not controlled by a, but I mean it's not like Ringo is not a, no she's like

673
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:40,600
Middle Eastern Japanese girl.

674
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:41,600
Yeah.

675
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:45,600
I mean, because maybe it's the same in video games, you don't necessarily have to me.

676
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:49,200
I mean a lot of people do I think replicate their characters after themselves, but that's

677
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,720
the nice thing about games is that you can play as something that you aren't in real

678
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:53,720
life.

679
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:55,680
So I guess that can be applied to Angelic Layers as well.

680
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:59,480
Yeah, it would have been nicer if like they just made the actual day is that's true.

681
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,400
There's some diversity amongst the day is as opposed to just the angels.

682
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:08,560
Or if there was some like, I don't know, like, oh, I do dance lessons and so I really admire

683
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:14,480
this culture that the dance I'm doing for my stuff is I based my angel off those performers

684
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,040
or something like that maybe could be more interesting.

685
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:18,040
Yeah.

686
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:19,040
I don't know.

687
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:22,600
I would have just liked them more if we get more diversity amongst the day is as themselves

688
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,000
as people instead of the dolls.

689
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:28,960
So in the opening ceremony, like it shows all the peanut gallery and they're all holding

690
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,920
their angels, except for Alice, who's just standing there.

691
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:35,680
I mean, we get I guess I should ask us next step like about next episode because we get

692
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:36,680
more about her.

693
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:37,680
But like, is she in the tournament?

694
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:39,560
Why is she standing up there?

695
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:44,200
She's just like tagging along with her sister, who's the actual day is OK.

696
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,000
Let's see.

697
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:53,640
So I've complained about how like, oh, God, she let she go and oh, Christ.

698
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:54,640
Oh, no.

699
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:55,640
And who?

700
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,080
Let's see because day is me again.

701
00:31:58,080 --> 00:31:59,080
Hot to go.

702
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:00,080
Hot to go.

703
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,080
Both of them are so obsessed with Angelic layer, right?

704
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:07,000
Like it's their life and nothing else that even Misaki, he's slowly becoming that she

705
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:12,320
could have possibly fathom someone who has other interests like being an idol, having

706
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:17,240
more than one interest like multifaceted, you know, all are nothing.

707
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,640
Are you talking about the scene where she's like listening to the music and she's wondering

708
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:20,640
why Ringo plays?

709
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:21,640
Yeah.

710
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,080
OK, so this is the note I have for that, which is like she's sitting there listening to the

711
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:27,240
song wondering why Ringo plays Angelic layer because she has so much other stuff going

712
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:30,640
on because she's like already popular and she already has friends.

713
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:34,800
But that's because Misaki sees Angelic layer as like the vector for her to be popular and

714
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:35,800
have friends, right?

715
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:40,080
Like that's how she views the utility of this game is like, oh, this is like my chance to

716
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:44,440
interact with people like as equals and we can like hang out and stuff.

717
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:48,960
Whereas for Ringo, when she gives the interview with Shoko, she's basically saying that like,

718
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:52,160
oh, I'm just like a when I'm playing Angelic layer, I'm just like a regular girl playing

719
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:53,160
this game.

720
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,760
So this is like Ringo's opportunity to be normal for a while.

721
00:32:55,760 --> 00:33:00,040
So it's more of like they're using the game for different ends, like they get different

722
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:01,040
things out of it.

723
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:04,040
Yeah, you're so deep thinking.

724
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:05,480
I think that works a bit.

725
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:10,880
Now I will say yes, Hotoko and Shuko both like base their entire lives around this,

726
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:14,920
but it makes more sense for Hotoko, who's five as opposed to Shuko, who's a whole ass

727
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:18,520
adult with a child to be like actually the only thing in my life that matters is Angelic

728
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:19,520
layer.

729
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:24,040
Although the way they describe like the way that Fujimori describes how like Shuko is

730
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:28,320
there is really weird because she shows up and she's like, oh, it's about the champion

731
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,120
and each one's like, OK, yeah, like what about her?

732
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:32,120
Yeah, it's her day off.

733
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:34,960
And she's like, oh, well, Shuko got permission to go out.

734
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,240
Why does she have to get permission to go out?

735
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:38,720
No, no, is she being a hostage?

736
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:40,760
I think is my not like what's going on.

737
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:41,760
Yeah.

738
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:43,760
Like why is she like institutionalized?

739
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:46,960
She seems completely normal.

740
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:47,960
Like I don't understand.

741
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:49,640
Yeah, it is weird, right?

742
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:55,280
Because she's under such strict observation and what she has to get permission to go out

743
00:33:55,280 --> 00:34:00,920
and like yeah, people want to control where she's going and not going.

744
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:01,920
It is bizarre.

745
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:02,920
It is bizarre.

746
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,960
I mean, we get kind of a parallel because Ringo also kind of has that where it's like,

747
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:10,400
oh, she has her manager, but like she can still just like ditch and go do stuff.

748
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:17,240
Maybe the reason Shuko is a terrible mom is that she's not allowed to be with a kid.

749
00:34:17,240 --> 00:34:18,240
Also Shuko's an adult.

750
00:34:18,240 --> 00:34:19,240
Like what is she going to get in trouble?

751
00:34:19,240 --> 00:34:20,240
She could get yelled at.

752
00:34:20,240 --> 00:34:21,240
Oh my God.

753
00:34:21,240 --> 00:34:22,240
Yeah, that's weird.

754
00:34:22,240 --> 00:34:25,400
I don't understand what's going on there, but hopefully we'll get more of that.

755
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:28,720
Okay, I said I don't really like Ringo.

756
00:34:28,720 --> 00:34:34,720
Like when they're in the match and she's like talking to the crowd like, oh, let's see how

757
00:34:34,720 --> 00:34:36,360
much more popular I am.

758
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,360
Like, hey, everyone, cheer for me and intimidate my opponent.

759
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:41,760
Like focus on the match.

760
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:42,760
That's not what she's doing.

761
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:43,760
Oh my God.

762
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:44,760
I hate it.

763
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:48,120
That line is funny because like because like Hikaru is putting up, you know, she's like

764
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:49,120
dodging and stuff.

765
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:53,680
This is before Ringo or Ranga starts shooting wave beams at her.

766
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:56,320
So she's like, you know, she's dodged the stuff.

767
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:59,320
They're like having a pretty good brawl and Ringo's like, yeah, nice.

768
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:00,600
You aren't losing instantly.

769
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:02,000
Like everybody else I fight.

770
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:06,000
So I guess Ringo is also like a hot oak or she just is like wrecking everybody and like

771
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:07,600
the first 10 seconds.

772
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:11,920
So then she hypes them up because she's like, yeah, we're like having a bout.

773
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:12,920
Isn't this great?

774
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:14,720
I don't think she's trying to intimidate Misaki.

775
00:35:14,720 --> 00:35:18,000
I think she's just like doing that because she's like, whoa, we're having a hype game.

776
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:19,000
Let's go.

777
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:22,720
I guess she's an idol, but it just feels very like about, I don't know.

778
00:35:22,720 --> 00:35:26,000
It's like about her and not even her doll, her angel.

779
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,920
She's this is no, she's throwing her hands up.

780
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:30,040
She's hyping up the crowd.

781
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:32,480
She's pumping everybody up for like the next.

782
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:33,480
That's the MC's job.

783
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:34,480
The leg of the fight.

784
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:35,480
Missy.

785
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:36,480
Well, the MC doesn't do it.

786
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:38,640
The MC just like introduce everybody and sits there.

787
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:39,640
She's got to do it.

788
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:40,640
It's great.

789
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:41,640
Ringo's great.

790
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:42,640
We love this.

791
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:43,640
No, we love the show.

792
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:44,640
We love us.

793
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:47,280
Ringo knows how to put on a match, you know?

794
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:51,160
That's how Maria was the heel and this time Ringo is like a crowd favorite, like hyping

795
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:52,160
everybody up.

796
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:53,160
It's good.

797
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:59,120
During this fight, I was like, does Hikaru just have more health points than others because

798
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:05,200
she's taking so many hits and not dying because it seems like in other fights, people's health

799
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:08,760
points go down so quickly just by like one punch.

800
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:12,360
How she's just, you know, like not losing.

801
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:13,560
Like I noticed this.

802
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:17,640
It seems to me like my interpretation of this is like when Hikaru gets hit, she's getting

803
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:23,040
hit on like the arms or like the side or like things that wouldn't necessarily even

804
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:26,120
score a point in like boxing or MMA or something.

805
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:27,960
She's able to mitigate most of these things.

806
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:31,720
Whereas when she wins her fights, like she usually wins on like one big attack, but that

807
00:36:31,720 --> 00:36:36,640
usually attack is like to your chin or like to your like something that would knock you

808
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:38,040
out instantly in real life.

809
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,160
So it seems like she's just getting like a critical hit.

810
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:43,640
Whereas everybody else is just doing like chip damage because Karu's not getting hit

811
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:46,960
full on in the way that she is hitting people when she wins her matches.

812
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:49,320
Speaking of that finish, that's my interpretation.

813
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:51,320
Get your own moves.

814
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:52,320
Stop coughing.

815
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:53,320
Hotoko bitch.

816
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:55,320
Like, I hate it.

817
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:56,320
But that's okay.

818
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:57,320
You're not cool.

819
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:02,080
Rolling Thunder's only school by Suzukat, not Hikaru.

820
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:05,920
But this is where we get like this is the thing that Misaki's good at, right?

821
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:08,240
She's very good at on the fly.

822
00:37:08,240 --> 00:37:11,040
Yeah, she's dead from Pokemon.

823
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:17,080
Just copy everyone else because she can see it once and master it immediately.

824
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:18,080
Blah, blah, blah.

825
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,080
A copying what?

826
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:21,080
Yeah.

827
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:22,080
Well, because like she's been doing this, right?

828
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:27,680
Like in the first couple of rounds, she's been winning by using like things that Tamayo

829
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,680
and Katara did in real life.

830
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:36,760
And now she's borrowing moves from other people she's played before in matches.

831
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:37,760
So like this is the thing.

832
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:41,080
Like the Pino Galaga, I mean, this is like when they talk about her and it always comes

833
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:42,080
up.

834
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:43,640
It's always like, oh, she's like really observant.

835
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:47,600
She like knows how to like she understands what's going on and that's how she wins.

836
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:50,000
And I mean, like just as like a fighter, that's what she does, right?

837
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:55,720
Like her entire play style is you get attacked by somebody, you figure out how they move

838
00:37:55,720 --> 00:37:57,200
and then you're able to counter it.

839
00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:58,200
That's always what she does.

840
00:37:58,200 --> 00:37:59,200
She's like a counter.

841
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:05,440
She's like an Uchiha with the shoring on to do, you know, like copy whatever your opponent's

842
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:06,440
doing.

843
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:08,920
Yeah, I like it.

844
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:09,920
I don't.

845
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:15,080
It's goofy to me that they're asserting that angels don't use weapons, but then Frong

846
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:16,960
is able to shoot wind beams.

847
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:17,960
Yeah.

848
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:24,400
And then the whole like Athena with the wings, like what are the laws of physics?

849
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:26,160
I'm like, what do you mean?

850
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:27,760
There's no there's no weapons.

851
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:29,880
Athena shot a giant spirit bomb.

852
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:32,040
What is that?

853
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:33,040
What?

854
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:39,200
Yeah, you think this is like martial arts, but it's confusing the the restrictions of

855
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:42,160
what angels are capable of doing.

856
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:47,080
And speaking of Athena, her mom, I'm like, she's only proud if Misaki wins.

857
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:52,400
Like what would have happened if she had lost or she'd been like, no one knows.

858
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:53,920
You describe this as malice of everybody.

859
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:56,440
You think everybody is so evil in this show.

860
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:57,840
Everybody's pretty nice in this show.

861
00:38:57,840 --> 00:38:58,840
I don't know.

862
00:38:58,840 --> 00:38:59,840
It's wrong with me.

863
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:01,560
I have a couple more notes about Ringo's interview.

864
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:02,560
That's pretty funny.

865
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:05,800
There's one part where she says that like, oh yeah, people speculate that I use angelic

866
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:07,960
layer to de-stress, but that's not true.

867
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:13,240
I'm always stressed basically because she's like, I mean, what she actually says is like,

868
00:39:13,240 --> 00:39:16,600
no, I'm just always the same whether I'm playing angelic layer or whether I'm being

869
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:17,600
an idol.

870
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:19,440
But to me, it's like, yeah, I'm always stressed.

871
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:21,200
This does not help me at all.

872
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:23,680
That's like, I don't find video games relaxing.

873
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:24,680
Some people do that.

874
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:25,680
I don't.

875
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:26,680
I'm relaxing.

876
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:29,000
Just have had this conversation with all of like, I have this conversation all the time

877
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:32,760
where it's like, I don't like relax in the way that like people normally talk about relaxing,

878
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,880
you know, like sitting on a beach or like, you know, getting a massage, like none of

879
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:36,880
that stuff relaxes me.

880
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:38,160
I'm always just like, I want to be doing something.

881
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:39,160
Yeah.

882
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:41,080
You just want to be productive with your time.

883
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:45,960
Although I used to be like that or I, you know, as a kid would wake up at five in the

884
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:50,000
morning naturally on weekends because I didn't want my weekend sleeping.

885
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:51,000
Oh my God.

886
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:56,640
But now I don't know if it's my terrible diet, but now I like nap so much.

887
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:59,440
Like I just nap my problems away.

888
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:03,480
I just, I feel like waking up at five, I feel like waking up at five a.m. just isn't the

889
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:04,480
normal thing to do.

890
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:08,720
That's what I did as a kid because it's like, oh, you know, I wasn't allowed to play video

891
00:40:08,720 --> 00:40:10,760
games during the week at my mom's house.

892
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:12,800
That was my time to play video games.

893
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:13,800
I see.

894
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:15,440
Don't waste your time sleeping.

895
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:21,040
I mean, I guess like farming sins are relaxing like Coral Island or my time at Sandrock, but

896
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:23,760
not intense triple A games.

897
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:26,760
What I'm saying is that I would play Angelic Lair.

898
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:29,200
It was real to not de-stress because I can't de-stress.

899
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:30,200
It's so cool.

900
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:31,200
People wouldn't.

901
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:33,480
That all for episode nine.

902
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:38,600
Angelic Lair episode 10 is called The Mean Sisters and the Targeted Hikaru.

903
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:43,080
We open on the third match of the first round, which is Hotoko and Suzuka versus Unnamed

904
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:44,800
Deus and her angel Natasha.

905
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:45,800
That's a pretty cool angel.

906
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:46,800
Suzuka starts the match.

907
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:47,800
Sorry.

908
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:48,800
Natasha looks cool.

909
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:49,800
I haven't known that.

910
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:50,800
Yeah.

911
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:54,440
Suzuka starts the match by disappearing and then reappearing upon Natasha and kicking

912
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:56,760
her so hard she's knocked out in one hit.

913
00:40:56,760 --> 00:41:00,920
The peanut gallery is annoyed that she keeps winning and vows to defeat her.

914
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:04,920
Unfortunately, the two most adamant members will have to face Misaki before Hotoko and

915
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:08,280
the rest of the gallery isn't all that confident that they'll win that matchup.

916
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:11,800
We cut to a match between Hikaru and some angel with spiked knuckles and they appear

917
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:13,200
to be boxing.

918
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:18,120
Hikaru lands a knockout hit qualifying Misaki for the top eight and then after the match,

919
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:22,920
Hotoko is waiting for Misaki and she is pumped that Misaki is still in the tournament.

920
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:25,600
They still have a shot at facing each other again.

921
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:29,240
Hotoko starts talking again about how age and height don't matter in Angelic Layer

922
00:41:29,240 --> 00:41:33,160
and then re-ups her promise with Misaki to make it to another match in the tournament.

923
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:36,920
The two most spiteful members of the peanut gallery are annoyed that Hotoko is so hyped.

924
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:40,720
At this point, we get their names, or we get one of their names, but I just looked them

925
00:41:40,720 --> 00:41:42,800
both up.

926
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:44,000
The two of them are sisters.

927
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:47,240
The younger one is named Alice and the older one is named Motoko.

928
00:41:47,240 --> 00:41:52,680
Motoko, who is the deus who actually has to play, affirms that they can't lose to Misaki

929
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:56,680
and Alice produces what looks like a tiny dart.

930
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:58,360
Because clearly they're scheming something.

931
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:02,240
We cut to outside where Misaki, Tamio, and Kataru are all eating lunch.

932
00:42:02,240 --> 00:42:05,680
Often the distance, Ogata is still looking for Shuko from last episode.

933
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:11,240
Kataru compliments Misaki's cooking and Tamio tackles him saying that he's following

934
00:42:11,240 --> 00:42:13,760
her dating advice, which I don't think he's actually doing.

935
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:17,400
In the background, Ringo sneaks around in her terrible disguise.

936
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:19,680
Misaki spots her instantly and invites her over.

937
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:24,760
Ringo is astounded that Misaki recognizes her and she and Tamio do a comedy bit together.

938
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:29,080
Ringo tells her that she was escaping from her manager and decides that they should all

939
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:30,080
be friends.

940
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:35,320
They start watching a match where a speed type angel, the same type as Akaru, named Blanche,

941
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:36,320
defeats her opponent.

942
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:39,880
We see that her deus is one of the peanut gallery members and her name is Kaede.

943
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:44,480
In the next match, we see the other peanut member, Sai, and her angel, Shira Hime.

944
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:46,200
We learn that she was last year's runner up.

945
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:50,520
She wins her match very easily and Misaki is excited that she might get to place against

946
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:51,640
some good opponents.

947
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:53,120
Then Ojiro shows up.

948
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:59,440
Both Ringo and Kataru are surprised that Misaki and Ojiro know each other and Ringo tells

949
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:02,520
Misaki that Ojiro was the runner up in Nationals two years ago.

950
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:04,080
Or two years in a row, sorry.

951
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:07,640
Ojiro reminds Misaki that her match is starting soon and she should probably get back to the

952
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:08,640
arena.

953
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:12,360
As she leaves, he cryptically comments that she is so alike to her mother but only Ringo

954
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:13,360
notices this.

955
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:17,240
Ben Ringo has to run away from her manager, but not before rounding back to get one of

956
00:43:17,240 --> 00:43:20,120
Misaki's sandwiches because she's like a cartoon character now.

957
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:25,040
Kataru looks over at Ojiro and Tamiyoteezes him that his love rile has arrived as she

958
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:26,360
starts to grapple him.

959
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:29,360
Shukou sees Misaki running to the arena but says nothing.

960
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:32,560
Shukou shows up and asks why Shukou didn't say anything to Misaki.

961
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:35,800
Shukou says that she can't face her yet, and Shukou teases that she could just like

962
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:39,800
force them together in the same room she wanted to, but Shukou says that she wouldn't do it.

963
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:41,600
By pushing her wheelchair.

964
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:43,320
By pushing her wheelchair.

965
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:46,560
Misaki enters the lobby and sees Alice and Madoka waiting for her.

966
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:49,080
Madoka introduces herself as Misaki's next opponent.

967
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:52,480
Alice poses as a fan of cool angels and asks as she can see Hikaru.

968
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:57,520
Misaki is excited to meet a fellow fan of cool angels and lets Alice hold Hikaru.

969
00:43:57,520 --> 00:43:58,520
Alice plants the pin on her.

970
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:01,600
The match is about to begin and Misaki has some new fans.

971
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:05,880
The announcer introduces Madoka and her angel Mao and we learn that she is steady in kung fu.

972
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:08,520
Hotoko is being interviewed by Shukou, or no I'm sorry.

973
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:11,480
Hotoko is being interviewed by Shoko, god I hate that their names are like that.

974
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:13,320
But gets distracted by the match.

975
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:17,120
The match starts and we learn that Mao is totally a cat girl with a tail and everything.

976
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:20,800
Mao rushes in and her and Hikaru start trading blows.

977
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:23,880
Mao is winning and Madoka comments that maybe she doesn't even need a cheat, she can just

978
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:24,960
win this game normally.

979
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:29,480
In the control room Ichan explains that Fuji Mori, or explains to Fuji Mori that Alice,

980
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:33,560
the younger sister, is a genius angel builder and she makes the angels for her sister.

981
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:37,600
Misaki starts figuring out Madoka's fighting pattern and Hikaru starts beating Mao.

982
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:42,040
Feeling cornered Alice activates her device which lags Hikaru causing her to trip.

983
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:45,080
Mao is able to land a hit on her while she's tripping.

984
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:50,080
Hotoko, Ojiro and Ichan immediately clock that there's some foul play going on as Misaki

985
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:52,640
wonders why Hikaru is responding so slowly.

986
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:56,440
We see a worried Shukou as it looks like Hikaru is going to lose as we cut to correct.

987
00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:59,560
This is an intense episode, yeah.

988
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:04,360
The peanut gallery at the beginning when Madoka is trash talking Misaki.

989
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:10,640
Kaede, the glasses chick, gives her the coldest ice glare I've ever seen.

990
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:16,480
Because we see that she's kind of known for her healing smile.

991
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:21,000
She's so cheery looking but then she's so stone cold looking at Madoka.

992
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:22,000
It's cool.

993
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:28,000
Yeah, I mean she seems like a mom kind of character or something.

994
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:29,000
Like mother.

995
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:30,000
Isn't her...

996
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:33,000
Blanche is like a nurse outfit.

997
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:34,560
Blanche is like a nurse, yeah.

998
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:36,920
But maybe her personality doesn't match.

999
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:41,440
Or she just takes this very seriously and doesn't like that these people are doubting

1000
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:42,440
someone.

1001
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:46,680
Or she knows that Madoka sucks and is going to totally lose.

1002
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:48,000
Yes, or that.

1003
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:54,080
Okay, so in this fight between Mao and Hikaru, Hikaru lands a rolling thunder.

1004
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:55,080
But that's not...

1005
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:59,360
Because that's been like a KO hit up to this point but that didn't do the trick for this

1006
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:02,120
fight enough with the stealing of rolling thunder.

1007
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:03,120
Good God.

1008
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:04,120
No, that's good.

1009
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:05,120
She should just steal everybody's moves.

1010
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:08,680
At the end she should blast Athena with a giant energy ball.

1011
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:09,680
That would be funny.

1012
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:15,640
I did like Ringo more with the terrible animated like little 2D running away in her manager

1013
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:16,640
following.

1014
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:17,640
Oh yeah.

1015
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:20,280
This is our comedy bit character for a little bit.

1016
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:22,440
First off, Suzuka stays winning.

1017
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:24,320
But her opponent Natasha actually looks pretty cool.

1018
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:26,760
She has like a futuristic looking jumpsuit on.

1019
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:28,640
I do like her design.

1020
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:29,640
It's pretty good.

1021
00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:30,640
It's better than some of the other designs.

1022
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:35,520
The angels are so much better animated than the rest of the people in the series.

1023
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:38,640
On the layer, I feel like a lot more effort was put in there.

1024
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:40,320
Yes, because that's what the people came to see.

1025
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:41,320
I guess, I guess.

1026
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:46,000
But it's like, oh, what could have been if the whole show had this level of effort?

1027
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:50,280
Yeah, Hikaru in her fight that she's having, the one where she's like boxing, she's copying

1028
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:51,480
her opponent's fighting style.

1029
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:54,720
So this is like further evidence for me that this is what she does, right?

1030
00:46:54,720 --> 00:46:57,680
Like because she starts boxing, she's like doing, she's like pulled in, she's ducking

1031
00:46:57,680 --> 00:46:59,400
down under punches and stuff like that.

1032
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:03,280
Like she fights nothing the way that she fought the last Matt chickens Ringo.

1033
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:04,280
Good stuff.

1034
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:06,280
I like copycat Misaki.

1035
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:07,280
I think that's fun.

1036
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:10,360
I like that her whole thing is being very observant and being able to figure out what

1037
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:11,360
other people are doing.

1038
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:13,880
She basically just downloads her enemies every time it's great.

1039
00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:19,240
When they're having lunch, Misaki and Kotaro just kind of looking at each other with a

1040
00:47:19,240 --> 00:47:20,240
little blushy blush.

1041
00:47:20,240 --> 00:47:24,000
I just wrote to Maya is the biggest cock block ever.

1042
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:30,360
Like as soon as she senses any kind of connecting, she's ruins the moment.

1043
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:35,520
So after after Misaki's match, Hadoka was like waiting for her outside and she's doing

1044
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:37,000
like the cool guy pose.

1045
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:38,000
Yeah, Lee gets the wall.

1046
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:41,640
Where she's like her back's against the wall and one of her legs is up like against it

1047
00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:43,160
and she's just like waiting for it.

1048
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:44,320
Oh, I didn't see you there.

1049
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:45,320
It's really good.

1050
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:46,320
Hadoka's great.

1051
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:47,320
I know.

1052
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:50,440
She's really excited that Misaki is like still winning and they probably will get to see

1053
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:52,920
each other like in the finals, I guess.

1054
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:56,720
When Alice and Madoka are like doing their little scheme and they're like going to go

1055
00:47:56,720 --> 00:48:00,960
up to Misaki right then, but then Tomahyou just runs up and like picks Misaki up and

1056
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:02,400
holds her up like she's an airplane.

1057
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:04,040
Like she's a tiny child.

1058
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:05,440
It's very funny.

1059
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:08,880
Back to Ringo with the I feel bad for.

1060
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:09,880
Okay.

1061
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:11,520
This is like a common thing in anime, right?

1062
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:16,720
Like somebody's a manga artist or somebody's an idol and their poor manager is always like

1063
00:48:16,720 --> 00:48:20,960
lagging behind trying to, you know, get them to follow schedule and stuff.

1064
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:23,720
But then there are like bad managers too.

1065
00:48:23,720 --> 00:48:27,080
Like the guy who made NSYNC in the back street boys.

1066
00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:28,880
So then I'm like, I don't know.

1067
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:31,160
Are we team poor managers or not?

1068
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:32,160
Yeah.

1069
00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:37,040
It's in this, in this case, it feels better to me because Ringo specifically says she's

1070
00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:40,600
like, oh yeah, I had all these days blocked off because I was expecting to like stay in

1071
00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:42,800
the tournament and not get eliminated round one.

1072
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:47,480
But now that I don't, my manager scheduled all this other stuff for me to do that I don't

1073
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:48,480
care about.

1074
00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:51,400
So that makes sense to me because it's like, oh, this is just like stuff that was scheduled

1075
00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:52,400
at the last second.

1076
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:54,240
Of course she doesn't care about this.

1077
00:48:54,240 --> 00:48:59,320
I do think it's very funny when Misaki sees Ringo and Ringo is like, how did you know it

1078
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:00,320
was me?

1079
00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:03,600
And Misaki's like, you're wearing the same outfit as yesterday.

1080
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:04,600
Yeah.

1081
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:05,600
Yeah.

1082
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:07,600
And then Tomahyou's like, call her Misaki.

1083
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:10,080
She's like pushing the nickname so hard.

1084
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:11,080
The campaign of hers.

1085
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:12,080
She knows it.

1086
00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:13,080
She does branding.

1087
00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:14,880
She's doing the branding.

1088
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:20,080
We do see the footage of Blanche and Shirahime and Blanche is so cute and Shirahime is freaking

1089
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:21,080
bad ass.

1090
00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:26,640
I think I have a preference because Suzuka and Shirahime are both like heavier weight

1091
00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:31,600
dolls, I think, like larger billed dolls and they're both so cool.

1092
00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:32,600
Yeah.

1093
00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:35,800
Shirahime is like wearing, you want to describe the outfit?

1094
00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:41,920
Shirahime is basically, it's kind of got Japanese kimono-esque.

1095
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:47,720
Basically she's wearing like a bodysuit and then she has sleeves that are like a kimono.

1096
00:49:47,720 --> 00:49:53,000
And she's, it's like all white because they call the day a sigh.

1097
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:56,120
Like, who the color personified ice?

1098
00:49:56,120 --> 00:50:01,800
Some weird, basically ice queen like is her moniker because she's so stone cold and her

1099
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:02,800
angel is too.

1100
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:07,200
Because in the fight we see she's just like, enemy angel comes in attacks her and she just

1101
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:10,480
grabs her and like chucks her to the ground and that's that.

1102
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:13,600
Like she barely had them moved to dominate.

1103
00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:14,600
So cool.

1104
00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:18,800
Well, Shirahime, I mean, Shirahime is white and Hime is princess.

1105
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:20,880
So she's the ice queen.

1106
00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:22,480
Screaming in the crowds too.

1107
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:23,800
Like I'd be size fan.

1108
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:24,800
She's so cool.

1109
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:25,800
Yeah.

1110
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:26,800
It's okay.

1111
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:27,800
It's very funny though.

1112
00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:28,800
The opponent, Shirahime's fighting.

1113
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:29,800
It's like a weird harlequin.

1114
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:30,800
Oh yeah.

1115
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:31,800
Yeah.

1116
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:36,800
With like the pointy hat, like the little two, two points coming out of the hat.

1117
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:38,800
It's like the juxtaposition here.

1118
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:39,800
Yeah.

1119
00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:43,800
The things the random, like unimportant angels that they design are funny.

1120
00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:47,800
She's like the coolest, most stoic angel and she's fighting an actual clown.

1121
00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:54,800
And then Ocho comes up to them while they're eating ice and I'm like, is he hitting on

1122
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:57,800
what he's got to be like 16 right?

1123
00:50:57,800 --> 00:50:59,800
Almost like flirting with a 12 year old.

1124
00:50:59,800 --> 00:51:01,800
I'm like, that's concerning.

1125
00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:06,440
And then later when Misaki goes up and there's like people screaming her name and some adult

1126
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:08,800
ass man is saying like, I love you Misaki.

1127
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:10,800
I'm like, ooh, creepy.

1128
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:11,800
Oh my God.

1129
00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:13,800
These are people just cheering for stuff.

1130
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:14,800
Okay.

1131
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:17,800
I can twist anything to be negative.

1132
00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:20,300
I can make everything bad if I'm in my mind.

1133
00:51:20,300 --> 00:51:25,480
I can't believe Ojiro shows up and doesn't say, doesn't mention that he knows your mom.

1134
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:26,560
He knows your mom.

1135
00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:28,800
He calls your mom by her first name.

1136
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:29,800
What?

1137
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:30,800
That's confusing.

1138
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:31,800
He's an insane man.

1139
00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:33,800
I can all believe he just doesn't say anything.

1140
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:35,800
It's not a love triangle.

1141
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:36,800
Stop saying that.

1142
00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:37,800
It is.

1143
00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:40,800
Misaki, her mom and Ojiro love triangle.

1144
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:43,800
Although now I'm confused because she seems like she likes Kotara now.

1145
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:46,800
This episode is some contradicting things in these episodes.

1146
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:47,800
There's some stuff happening.

1147
00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:49,800
It's tough, you know.

1148
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:51,800
I have some comments about Ranga.

1149
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:56,800
First off, apparently Ranga is like a derogatory term for residents in Australia.

1150
00:51:56,800 --> 00:51:57,800
Is it?

1151
00:51:57,800 --> 00:51:58,800
Or not?

1152
00:51:58,800 --> 00:51:59,800
I mean, it's four red heads.

1153
00:51:59,800 --> 00:52:01,800
It's not like it's not like a slur.

1154
00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:03,800
I think it's just like a negative term.

1155
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:04,800
Okay.

1156
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:06,800
Like a blonde, maybe equivalent?

1157
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:07,800
I guess.

1158
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:11,800
But it's supposed to be, I guess it's a playoff of like a orangutan and they're like orange.

1159
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:12,800
Oh.

1160
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:14,800
And so it's like you're calling them like a monkey guy.

1161
00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:15,800
Okay.

1162
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:16,800
Good to know.

1163
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:19,800
But the reason I bring that up, I looked that up at this point because I'm like, you know,

1164
00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:20,800
it's kind of a weird name.

1165
00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:22,800
I wonder if that's anything it is.

1166
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:27,800
But Ringo says like, one point Misaki is like, Oh, is Ranga okay?

1167
00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:30,800
And Ringo is like, Oh yeah, she just needed her outer skin changed.

1168
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:31,800
What?

1169
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:32,800
They have outer skins?

1170
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:34,800
You can change their outer skin?

1171
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:35,800
The angels?

1172
00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:36,800
Yeah.

1173
00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:37,800
That's what she says.

1174
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:39,800
She's like, Oh yeah, her outer skin just had to be changed.

1175
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:40,800
And I'm like, that's gross.

1176
00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:41,800
Are you like peeling off the skin?

1177
00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:43,800
Yeah, that is gross.

1178
00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:44,800
What's going on?

1179
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:45,800
How do you assemble these things?

1180
00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:49,800
It looks like they just come out pre-made, but like, are you actually putting on skin?

1181
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:54,800
Well, I guess if they're like little androids where it's all machinery and then just like

1182
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:58,800
a soft, soft skin off like it's like Terminator.

1183
00:52:58,800 --> 00:52:59,800
Ex Machina.

1184
00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:01,800
Is it like, I don't know.

1185
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:03,800
Oh, and she, okay.

1186
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:05,800
She's embarrassed at one point.

1187
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:09,800
And even then she's like, yeah, she does the cat sound even then.

1188
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:10,800
She does the cat sound.

1189
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:11,800
Yeah.

1190
00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:13,800
That's such that's her surprise noise.

1191
00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:14,800
Okay.

1192
00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:15,800
So I'm confused.

1193
00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:16,800
I'm confused about how all of this works.

1194
00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:17,800
So, okay.

1195
00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:20,800
And in Hot Oco's match, she makes it to the semi-finals.

1196
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:21,800
So that's the top four.

1197
00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:24,800
And then Sai clearly also makes it and Kaiyé they make it.

1198
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:28,800
So I guess it's Madoka and Misaki for the fourth spot.

1199
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:29,800
Right.

1200
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:30,800
Even though it kind of comes out of order.

1201
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:36,800
Also, if you have 24 in combatants that doesn't, that doesn't, that doesn't lead to like a tournament.

1202
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:39,800
Like it needs to be a multiple of two for that to, but also, okay.

1203
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:44,800
So if Ojiro won the Kansai games two years in a row, that means he beat Hot Oco, which

1204
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:46,800
means Hot Oco must lose to Sai.

1205
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:47,800
Yeah.

1206
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:50,800
Oh, cause well, they were saying Sai was the runner.

1207
00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:51,800
That's what they said.

1208
00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:53,800
Did she say she's the second runner up or just the runner up?

1209
00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:54,800
Well, I don't know.

1210
00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:58,800
Cause they say this is the Kansai games, but they're at Kanto right now.

1211
00:53:58,800 --> 00:53:59,800
Right.

1212
00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:03,800
And then they talk about Nationals and he's the runner up in Nationals cause Shuko is

1213
00:54:03,800 --> 00:54:05,800
the champion, but I don't understand.

1214
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:07,800
Cause is there another tournament after this?

1215
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:08,800
I feel like there isn't.

1216
00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:09,800
I don't know.

1217
00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:10,800
Or maybe there is.

1218
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:11,800
I don't know.

1219
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:17,800
You know what, if in this world of Angelic Layer, is it only in Japan you would think

1220
00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:21,800
that maybe this would be popular everywhere and then there'd be like a World Series or

1221
00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:22,800
something.

1222
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:23,800
Also I, okay.

1223
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:29,800
So in the vein of like how this is run, does the winner like get anything like money, a

1224
00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:30,800
prize?

1225
00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:33,800
Apparently you get held hostage and you have to ask permission to leave.

1226
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:34,800
That's true.

1227
00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:37,800
Oh, where you think it's a good thing, but it's bad when you win.

1228
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:38,800
Let's see.

1229
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:39,800
My next note, all caps.

1230
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:40,800
Shuko, talk to your daughter.

1231
00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:41,800
She does not.

1232
00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:42,800
Nope.

1233
00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:49,500
Madoka has the most dynamic Angel call yet cause she like does all these like kung fu punches

1234
00:54:49,500 --> 00:54:54,800
when she's like saying her little entry call cause everyone else has just like said it

1235
00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:57,800
and chucked it, but she like is making actions as she does it.

1236
00:54:57,800 --> 00:54:59,720
Like her, she just makes a cat girl.

1237
00:54:59,720 --> 00:55:03,800
Like Mao is just a cat girl with like say an armor from Dragon Ball V.

1238
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:09,800
Cause that seems to be the theme cause we see, I don't remember if it shows this or

1239
00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:13,800
if it's the next episode, but I know that this is like not their first angel.

1240
00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:18,920
Like apparently if the angel loses, like it did to Suzuka, they just scrap it and start

1241
00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:19,920
a new.

1242
00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:23,240
And so I think this Mao is similarly designed.

1243
00:55:23,240 --> 00:55:24,400
So that seems to be the thing.

1244
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:29,800
The sisters have the kung fu kind of asks aesthetic with the ears and tail.

1245
00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:34,800
But it is weird that it's like one makes the doll and one plays the dais.

1246
00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:35,800
Yeah.

1247
00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:40,000
Yeah, each on comments on this is saying that like, oh yeah, last year Alice made this.

1248
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:41,000
Yeah.

1249
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:43,400
And like, yeah, because Madoka doesn't make her own doll.

1250
00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:44,800
She doesn't have the connection with it.

1251
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:48,800
She's like not as good as using it because she doesn't like understand how it's made.

1252
00:55:48,800 --> 00:55:52,800
Also Madoka is such a Japanese name and Alice is so Western.

1253
00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:54,800
It's like a Western name.

1254
00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:55,800
Yeah.

1255
00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:58,400
Cause it's like, it's like the Japanese Katakana version of Alice.

1256
00:55:58,400 --> 00:55:59,400
So it's like Adi-su.

1257
00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:02,800
So it's just like, it's not, it's who are your parents?

1258
00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:03,800
How are they named when they're kids?

1259
00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:04,800
What's going on?

1260
00:56:04,800 --> 00:56:05,800
Well, I'm sure they suck.

1261
00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:07,800
Like all the other parents in Angelica.

1262
00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:11,800
They also have terrible, just like Maria's parents.

1263
00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:13,800
They have terrible tastes and names.

1264
00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:14,800
Yes.

1265
00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:16,800
I love the name Madoka.

1266
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:17,800
Madoka.

1267
00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:18,800
Listen to manga.

1268
00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:22,800
Although I feel like it's always like a villain or it's like the main girl name.

1269
00:56:22,800 --> 00:56:25,800
It's always a mean girl that I've seen that name used.

1270
00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:29,800
I just know it from Madoka Magica where that's the name character's name and she's very nice.

1271
00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:33,800
Oh, I haven't watched that because apparently it's very sad and I don't want that.

1272
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:34,800
Yeah.

1273
00:56:34,800 --> 00:56:35,800
It is sad.

1274
00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:36,800
Is that technically Shoujo?

1275
00:56:36,800 --> 00:56:37,800
Are we going to cover that?

1276
00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:38,800
That's like horror or something.

1277
00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:39,800
No, it's not.

1278
00:56:39,800 --> 00:56:40,800
It's magic girls.

1279
00:56:40,800 --> 00:56:43,800
But it's like definitely like, what if magic girls were dark?

1280
00:56:43,800 --> 00:56:44,800
Yeah.

1281
00:56:44,800 --> 00:56:45,800
But it actually is good.

1282
00:56:45,800 --> 00:56:46,800
I like that one.

1283
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:47,800
I don't like the other dark magic girls stuff.

1284
00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:48,800
I think it's bad.

1285
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:49,800
It's scary.

1286
00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:50,800
It seems scary.

1287
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:51,800
Ugh.

1288
00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:52,800
Like I'm settling.

1289
00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:54,800
Yeah, I think you'd like, you're so doom and gloom about all of this.

1290
00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:58,800
You're like giving everybody the worst, like the least charitable reads you can.

1291
00:56:58,800 --> 00:57:00,800
I'm a very, I'm a negative Nancy.

1292
00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:01,800
I just, yeah.

1293
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:02,800
I think.

1294
00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:03,800
I know.

1295
00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:08,800
We already got past the Sarah Nile is an hour about how you want humanity to be destroyed

1296
00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:09,800
this week.

1297
00:57:09,800 --> 00:57:13,800
Maybe as we consume more fluff, it will, it'll purify my soul.

1298
00:57:13,800 --> 00:57:14,800
Oh, okay.

1299
00:57:14,800 --> 00:57:15,800
Sure.

1300
00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:16,800
Okay.

1301
00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:23,000
When the, when I was dawn on all the folks that something is a rye, like cheating is

1302
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:28,500
happening, Oduro in the crowd says something along the lines of like, oh, looks like some

1303
00:57:28,500 --> 00:57:30,800
kind of naughty trick is happening.

1304
00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:33,800
Like, oh God, you saying naughty is like kind of pervy.

1305
00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:36,800
Like I don't like you using that terminology.

1306
00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:37,800
Okay.

1307
00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:39,800
Why are you reading into this?

1308
00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:41,800
Like, oh, it's like a weird creep.

1309
00:57:41,800 --> 00:57:42,800
He's not.

1310
00:57:42,800 --> 00:57:44,800
It's because I know something about him that you don't.

1311
00:57:44,800 --> 00:57:45,800
Oh, cool.

1312
00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:47,800
Can't wait to learn this.

1313
00:57:47,800 --> 00:57:53,240
Yeah, I had to, I had to mention, I had to go back and mention all of the times when

1314
00:57:53,240 --> 00:57:57,800
Alice had a crush on Oduro because I watched the like, um, next time.

1315
00:57:57,800 --> 00:57:58,800
Oh yeah.

1316
00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:01,300
And like, there's a part where he goes and talks to her and I'm like, oh, shit.

1317
00:58:01,300 --> 00:58:04,800
Like I have to include this retroactively in the summer.

1318
00:58:04,800 --> 00:58:08,800
What, what somebody, Ringo, she seemed to know a lot about the contestants.

1319
00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:13,800
So she was telling Misaki and that he's called the young nobleman of the layer or something.

1320
00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:19,800
So he's, I guess, just like the male fixation of the Angela Glare scene.

1321
00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:20,800
It's like, I'm starting to be creepy.

1322
00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:21,800
I don't like this.

1323
00:58:21,800 --> 00:58:26,800
I don't like, like you've been joking about it being a weird, it's nice.

1324
00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:30,800
It's just there's a small and I was just assuming that was a joke.

1325
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:32,800
I don't know what they were saying.

1326
00:58:32,800 --> 00:58:34,800
I would be so bummed.

1327
00:58:34,800 --> 00:58:37,800
It's not like you're particularly attached to him.

1328
00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:39,800
No, but like, I don't want the show to be weird.

1329
00:58:39,800 --> 00:58:40,800
It's been nice so far.

1330
00:58:40,800 --> 00:58:41,800
Yeah.

1331
00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:42,800
I got like goosebumps.

1332
00:58:42,800 --> 00:58:44,800
I was kind of like excited.

1333
00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:45,800
Yeah.

1334
00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:48,800
I guess the cliffhanger, but I was like, yeah, it was a good ending and I'm excited for the

1335
00:58:48,800 --> 00:58:49,800
next episode.

1336
00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:51,800
Uh, I'm worried for Hotoko though.

1337
00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:52,800
Why?

1338
00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:54,800
It's she's made ass.

1339
00:58:54,800 --> 00:58:56,800
She's in the semi finals, right?

1340
00:58:56,800 --> 00:59:00,800
But it's like, if Misaki is going to fight the other ones, then she's going to lose.

1341
00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:04,800
Oh, you mean if Misaki, okay, you're assuming Misaki is just going to beat everyone.

1342
00:59:04,800 --> 00:59:09,800
So yeah, because we foreshadowed Kiety and Sai so much that it's like, well, she's probably

1343
00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:10,800
going to have to fight both of them.

1344
00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:13,800
But that means Hanako is going to lose and they're not going to get their rematch.

1345
00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:15,800
You're so perceptive, Joe.

1346
00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:17,800
I mean, there's also like a million.

1347
00:59:17,800 --> 00:59:19,800
I mean, how many episodes left are there?

1348
00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:20,800
16?

1349
00:59:20,800 --> 00:59:21,800
We're not even halfway.

1350
00:59:21,800 --> 00:59:24,800
Next episode will be halfway through the series.

1351
00:59:24,800 --> 00:59:25,800
It's good.

1352
00:59:25,800 --> 00:59:26,800
It's good so far.

1353
00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:27,800
The show's good.

1354
00:59:27,800 --> 00:59:28,800
Yeah.

1355
00:59:28,800 --> 00:59:29,800
Yeah, it's heating up.

1356
00:59:29,800 --> 00:59:30,800
It's getting more intense.

1357
00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:33,800
I'm excited because yeah, this is where it's more skilled.

1358
00:59:33,800 --> 00:59:35,800
Like everyone's better at this level.

1359
00:59:35,800 --> 00:59:42,800
So it's going to be more about the fight itself and not external factors like the insecurity

1360
00:59:42,800 --> 00:59:45,800
about an idol or like having fun playing.

1361
00:59:45,800 --> 00:59:47,800
Like it'll be more intense.

1362
00:59:47,800 --> 00:59:49,800
Like everyone's in it to win it at this point.

1363
00:59:49,800 --> 00:59:54,800
So it's yeah, it'll be more focused on the fighting, which will be super cool.

1364
00:59:54,800 --> 00:59:56,800
We do the recommendations first.

1365
00:59:56,800 --> 00:59:57,800
What do you recommend, Sarah?

1366
00:59:57,800 --> 01:00:02,800
What do you have to recommend the people when they're not watching the newest episodes

1367
01:00:02,800 --> 01:00:03,800
of Angelic Layer?

1368
01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:07,800
I'm going to recommend something near and dear to my heart.

1369
01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:13,800
I'm going to recommend Persona 3 Portable, not reload or not reloaded because it can't

1370
01:00:13,800 --> 01:00:17,800
play as the female protagonist, which is a fan favorite and is stupid and I hate it and

1371
01:00:17,800 --> 01:00:19,800
I refuse to play it because of that.

1372
01:00:19,800 --> 01:00:25,800
But Persona 3 Portable was re-released on like all the things last year and it's a more

1373
01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:30,800
visual novel style of the Persona 3 game in it.

1374
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:33,800
Yeah, it's how you got I got into Persona.

1375
01:00:33,800 --> 01:00:34,800
You got into Persona.

1376
01:00:34,800 --> 01:00:37,800
I let you my Persona 3 Portable PSP copy.

1377
01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:42,800
You played that and then now we've been Persona fans ever since, but it's got killer.

1378
01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:44,800
Like the music is so good.

1379
01:00:44,800 --> 01:00:45,800
It's so good.

1380
01:00:45,800 --> 01:00:46,800
Yeah, it's just so fun.

1381
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:47,800
It's a long game.

1382
01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:48,800
So long game.

1383
01:00:48,800 --> 01:00:49,800
It's really good.

1384
01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:50,800
It's an RPG.

1385
01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:54,800
I immensely enjoy it and recommend it.

1386
01:00:54,800 --> 01:00:59,800
So I am recommending an anime this time on our anime podcast.

1387
01:00:59,800 --> 01:01:02,800
I've been watching FreeRen beyond Journey's End.

1388
01:01:02,800 --> 01:01:04,800
Oh, that's a lot of the elf chick, right?

1389
01:01:04,800 --> 01:01:05,800
She's cute.

1390
01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:06,800
Yes.

1391
01:01:06,800 --> 01:01:12,800
So this is a series that is about an elf named FreeRen who is like, you know, has like,

1392
01:01:12,800 --> 01:01:17,800
it's like a high fantasy world, so elves have like a century long lifespan or something.

1393
01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:22,800
And she was part of the like party of heroes that like defeated the demon king or whatever

1394
01:01:22,800 --> 01:01:23,800
80 years ago.

1395
01:01:23,800 --> 01:01:26,800
And then she just kind of wandered around after that.

1396
01:01:26,800 --> 01:01:31,800
And then she kind of like went back and realized that like, oh, all of my like former compatriots

1397
01:01:31,800 --> 01:01:35,800
got old and died while I was off doing other stuff.

1398
01:01:35,800 --> 01:01:38,800
And it's kind of like a nice, it's a very nice like series.

1399
01:01:38,800 --> 01:01:43,800
So basically like about how you should spend the time actually befriending your friends

1400
01:01:43,800 --> 01:01:47,800
and like how to spend time with people and how to make things that like actually matter

1401
01:01:47,800 --> 01:01:52,800
to you and to like invest in relationships and not just being aloof all the time.

1402
01:01:52,800 --> 01:01:56,800
And so is it kind of like slice of life that just happens to be in a fantasy setting?

1403
01:01:56,800 --> 01:02:00,800
Like is it combat heavy or is it mostly just relationships?

1404
01:02:00,800 --> 01:02:01,800
There is.

1405
01:02:01,800 --> 01:02:07,800
I mean, like they're the kind of inciting incident of like what FreeRen's doing and

1406
01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:08,800
a plot at them.

1407
01:02:08,800 --> 01:02:13,800
And like right now is about, um, she like regrets that she didn't spend more time with like

1408
01:02:13,800 --> 01:02:15,800
the main party hero guy Himmel.

1409
01:02:15,800 --> 01:02:21,800
And she learns about a place where you can go and talk with the dead.

1410
01:02:21,800 --> 01:02:25,800
Um, that's super far more dear like the demon territory.

1411
01:02:25,800 --> 01:02:30,800
Um, I mean, he definitely did for her, whether she did or not kind of up in the air.

1412
01:02:30,800 --> 01:02:33,800
She's like pretty aloof about the whole thing.

1413
01:02:33,800 --> 01:02:38,800
And so like she wants to go and like talk with some of like her old dead comrades essentially.

1414
01:02:38,800 --> 01:02:43,800
So she's traveling up there with like one of her new companions.

1415
01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:44,800
Oh, never mind.

1416
01:02:44,800 --> 01:02:46,800
Old members like apprentice.

1417
01:02:46,800 --> 01:02:48,800
So in connective to adoptive daughter.

1418
01:02:48,800 --> 01:02:52,800
So she's traveling with her and like another one that's like the other guys protege.

1419
01:02:52,800 --> 01:02:56,800
So it's kind of like she's hanging out with the like the next generation of some of those.

1420
01:02:56,800 --> 01:02:57,800
Yeah.

1421
01:02:57,800 --> 01:03:00,800
Um, except, you know, she's like the mentor and she's like, eh, being a mentor is kind of weird.

1422
01:03:00,800 --> 01:03:02,800
And so there's just like a lot of stuff going on there.

1423
01:03:02,800 --> 01:03:06,800
So there is like, you know, they do, there is like some fighting, like they fight some demons and they do some stuff,

1424
01:03:06,800 --> 01:03:11,800
but it is also just kind of like about hanging out and what it's like to be in a party traveling with people,

1425
01:03:11,800 --> 01:03:17,800
like in a little adventuring squad and like taking the time to get to know everybody and not just like going through the motions.

1426
01:03:17,800 --> 01:03:19,800
Like she kind of did last time.

1427
01:03:19,800 --> 01:03:20,800
So that's, that's pretty fun.

1428
01:03:20,800 --> 01:03:21,800
I think it's really good.

1429
01:03:21,800 --> 01:03:25,800
It's really well thought out, much more character depth that I think you normally would expect in this kind of thing.

1430
01:03:25,800 --> 01:03:27,800
So it's good.

1431
01:03:27,800 --> 01:03:28,800
Yeah.

1432
01:03:28,800 --> 01:03:32,800
So I've been seeing early crunchy roles seems to be promoting it a lot on their socials.

1433
01:03:32,800 --> 01:03:36,800
Now we can get into our new Apple podcasts review.

1434
01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:44,800
If you enjoyed this podcast, please rate it on whatever podcast platform you are listening to this on that allows ratings,

1435
01:03:44,800 --> 01:03:45,800
which I'm pretty sure is all of them.

1436
01:03:45,800 --> 01:03:47,800
Um, please rate us five stars.

1437
01:03:47,800 --> 01:03:54,800
If you rate us five stars and leave a comment on Apple podcasts, I will read it most likely unless you're saying some stuff.

1438
01:03:54,800 --> 01:03:57,800
I'm not going to read on the podcast at this and during this section.

1439
01:03:57,800 --> 01:04:02,800
So a recent review we got is from Caitlin BB1234.

1440
01:04:02,800 --> 01:04:03,800
Caitlin says,

1441
01:04:03,800 --> 01:04:05,800
Carming and funny podcasts love this podcast.

1442
01:04:05,800 --> 01:04:07,800
It's rare to find a good anime podcast.

1443
01:04:07,800 --> 01:04:11,800
Sarah and Joe have great chemistry and really bounce off, really bounce off each other.

1444
01:04:11,800 --> 01:04:14,800
I feel like I'm listening to a conversation with my friends.

1445
01:04:14,800 --> 01:04:17,800
I look forward to hearing all about other show Joe anime as they cover.

1446
01:04:17,800 --> 01:04:19,800
Highly recommend listening five stars.

1447
01:04:19,800 --> 01:04:20,800
Thank you.

1448
01:04:20,800 --> 01:04:22,800
Caitlin BB1234.

1449
01:04:22,800 --> 01:04:24,800
Oh, can that be?

1450
01:04:24,800 --> 01:04:27,800
Yeah, you know who knows? Could be anybody. Could be me.

1451
01:04:27,800 --> 01:04:28,800
That's the first one.

1452
01:04:28,800 --> 01:04:29,800
I already left a comment.

1453
01:04:29,800 --> 01:04:33,800
I left a comment that just says love to see it because I don't think it matters what you write down.

1454
01:04:33,800 --> 01:04:34,800
And also I'm not going to read that.

1455
01:04:34,800 --> 01:04:36,800
Okay, but no, it's not.

1456
01:04:36,800 --> 01:04:37,800
It's my sister.

1457
01:04:37,800 --> 01:04:46,800
And she's essentially, she's been telling me on the side like, hey, you should cover KamiSamaKiss as your next series.

1458
01:04:46,800 --> 01:04:49,800
Because I think she just wants to, because she, she watched Angelic Layer,

1459
01:04:49,800 --> 01:04:52,800
but I don't think it's one of the ones she likes as much.

1460
01:04:52,800 --> 01:04:55,800
I know she's just selfishly is trying to get me to pick where her next is going to be.

1461
01:04:55,800 --> 01:05:01,800
I think I'll do a poll on our Instagram or something about what series we should cover next.

1462
01:05:01,800 --> 01:05:04,800
I think we should really try to do an actual show Joe.

1463
01:05:04,800 --> 01:05:06,800
That'd be, that'd be advisable.

1464
01:05:06,800 --> 01:05:08,800
Become pop. Yeah.

1465
01:05:08,800 --> 01:05:10,800
I think we should do a real show Joe show.

1466
01:05:10,800 --> 01:05:12,800
I think we should live up to the expectations of the show.

1467
01:05:12,800 --> 01:05:16,800
I think we should pick one that like people like, but we also like, I like to keep the depth of it.

1468
01:05:16,800 --> 01:05:17,800
I don't like to just like,

1469
01:05:17,800 --> 01:05:18,800
Yes.

1470
01:05:18,800 --> 01:05:20,800
Well, you're very good at actually,

1471
01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:22,800
I'm just sitting on everything,

1472
01:05:22,800 --> 01:05:26,800
but you are actually like doing deep thoughts and I'm just like,

1473
01:05:26,800 --> 01:05:30,800
what if the worst case scenario was happening?

1474
01:05:30,800 --> 01:05:33,800
That's my contribution to our discussions.

1475
01:05:33,800 --> 01:05:34,800
Yeah.

1476
01:05:34,800 --> 01:05:37,800
So we'll finally be at the halfway mark next episode.

1477
01:05:37,800 --> 01:05:38,800
Halfway.

1478
01:05:38,800 --> 01:05:40,800
Hopefully you guys are enjoying the ride.

1479
01:05:40,800 --> 01:05:42,800
If you have any questions.

1480
01:05:42,800 --> 01:05:43,800
Yeah.

1481
01:05:43,800 --> 01:05:46,800
You can email us at show Joe pod at gmail.com,

1482
01:05:46,800 --> 01:05:49,800
spelled the same way as the series or podcast title.

1483
01:05:49,800 --> 01:05:50,800
Yeah.

1484
01:05:50,800 --> 01:05:55,800
If you're like, mmm, Sarah, you're really bombing me out with all your stuff.

1485
01:05:55,800 --> 01:05:56,800
People may not know.

1486
01:05:56,800 --> 01:05:58,800
We record over over distance.

1487
01:05:58,800 --> 01:06:03,800
I know it just feels like we're riffing so well as if we're in the same room,

1488
01:06:03,800 --> 01:06:05,800
but no, we're very,

1489
01:06:05,800 --> 01:06:08,800
when you've been friends for so long, it just appears that way.

1490
01:06:08,800 --> 01:06:09,800
Yeah.

1491
01:06:09,800 --> 01:06:12,800
I think I commented on the pot low like podcast subreddit, but

1492
01:06:12,800 --> 01:06:13,800
there's a subreddit.

1493
01:06:13,800 --> 01:06:14,800
Yeah.

1494
01:06:14,800 --> 01:06:15,800
I tried network here.

1495
01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:16,800
Okay.

1496
01:06:16,800 --> 01:06:18,800
I try to make this a success.

1497
01:06:18,800 --> 01:06:19,800
Oh, okay.

1498
01:06:19,800 --> 01:06:21,800
I think you made a subreddit.

1499
01:06:21,800 --> 01:06:22,800
Oh, no, no.

1500
01:06:22,800 --> 01:06:23,800
What?

1501
01:06:23,800 --> 01:06:25,800
Podcasting subreddit, not us specifically.

1502
01:06:25,800 --> 01:06:26,800
Yeah.

1503
01:06:26,800 --> 01:06:28,800
I'm so glad you're like a social media manager.

1504
01:06:28,800 --> 01:06:30,800
I would never be able to do this stuff.

1505
01:06:30,800 --> 01:06:31,800
I'm on it.

1506
01:06:31,800 --> 01:06:34,800
If you need any like natural language processing AI,

1507
01:06:34,800 --> 01:06:37,800
that's where I can be of use using my profession.

1508
01:06:37,800 --> 01:06:38,800
How is that?

1509
01:06:38,800 --> 01:06:40,800
What I do?

1510
01:06:40,800 --> 01:06:42,800
Good time.

1511
01:06:42,800 --> 01:06:44,800
Oh, dear.

1512
01:06:44,800 --> 01:06:45,800
Okay.

1513
01:06:45,800 --> 01:06:48,800
I was streaming, you were there and I, you know,

1514
01:06:48,800 --> 01:06:50,800
we were saying, oh, we really got to do something.

1515
01:06:50,800 --> 01:06:53,800
Cause we haven't, you know, we can't physically hang out anymore.

1516
01:06:53,800 --> 01:06:56,800
Um, and we hadn't gained in a while.

1517
01:06:56,800 --> 01:06:57,800
Yeah.

1518
01:06:57,800 --> 01:07:00,800
Because I lost my body in the war 10,000 years ago.

1519
01:07:00,800 --> 01:07:03,800
And I am an evil spirit that isn't happening.

1520
01:07:03,800 --> 01:07:07,800
You're living my dream of leaving this hellhole that I live in.

1521
01:07:07,800 --> 01:07:08,800
What?

1522
01:07:08,800 --> 01:07:10,800
Texas is not that hard to leave Texas.

1523
01:07:10,800 --> 01:07:11,800
It's so hot.

1524
01:07:11,800 --> 01:07:13,800
I know this week I had a moment where I was like,

1525
01:07:13,800 --> 01:07:16,800
I like wrote down a bunch of things about what it's like living in

1526
01:07:16,800 --> 01:07:19,800
Indianapolis cause like that's not far from you.

1527
01:07:19,800 --> 01:07:22,800
And the rent is so cheap.

1528
01:07:22,800 --> 01:07:26,800
Uh, and apparently the winters are only like in the mid 20s to 30,

1529
01:07:26,800 --> 01:07:30,800
uh, degree Fahrenheit, which seems lovely to me.

1530
01:07:30,800 --> 01:07:32,800
Do you want to know what the temperature is right now?

1531
01:07:32,800 --> 01:07:33,800
Yes.

1532
01:07:33,800 --> 01:07:34,800
49 degrees.

1533
01:07:34,800 --> 01:07:36,800
Oh, see that's lovely.

1534
01:07:36,800 --> 01:07:40,800
It was freaking like 87 degrees this week in March.

1535
01:07:40,800 --> 01:07:41,800
Yeah.

1536
01:07:41,800 --> 01:07:42,800
Sorry you live in an oven.

1537
01:07:42,800 --> 01:07:43,800
I hate it.

1538
01:07:43,800 --> 01:07:44,800
Just.

1539
01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:45,800
Are you living a hot place?

1540
01:07:45,800 --> 01:07:47,800
I just, oh, it makes me mad.

1541
01:07:47,800 --> 01:07:50,800
Like, yeah, I got out here someday.

1542
01:07:50,800 --> 01:07:53,800
My dream of leaving Texas will come true.

1543
01:07:53,800 --> 01:07:57,800
But yeah, we start the podcast just as a way for us to keep in touch.

1544
01:07:57,800 --> 01:08:00,800
And I, you know, this is something that I've had a lot of fun working on

1545
01:08:00,800 --> 01:08:02,800
and I've like put a lot of time into.

1546
01:08:02,800 --> 01:08:03,800
This has been fun.

1547
01:08:03,800 --> 01:08:07,800
And we're going to keep doing this forever until we watch every show Joe.

1548
01:08:07,800 --> 01:08:10,800
And they ever not many are coming out.

1549
01:08:10,800 --> 01:08:12,800
So there is an end at the point.

1550
01:08:12,800 --> 01:08:13,800
We're going to die.

1551
01:08:13,800 --> 01:08:15,800
We're going to be on our death bed and I'm going to be like, oh,

1552
01:08:15,800 --> 01:08:17,800
I got to record the last episode of.

1553
01:08:17,800 --> 01:08:21,800
I can't let down our top listeners, me and you.

1554
01:08:21,800 --> 01:08:24,800
I need to listen to.

1555
01:08:24,800 --> 01:08:25,800
I need this.

1556
01:08:25,800 --> 01:08:26,800
It's true.

1557
01:08:26,800 --> 01:08:27,800
I'm tired of listening to other people.

1558
01:08:27,800 --> 01:08:28,800
I need to listen to me more.

1559
01:08:28,800 --> 01:08:29,800
That's right.

1560
01:08:29,800 --> 01:08:31,800
I need to remember that I have fun sometimes.

1561
01:08:31,800 --> 01:08:33,800
We're so charming.

1562
01:08:33,800 --> 01:08:37,800
How could you not be devastating if we ever ended?

1563
01:08:37,800 --> 01:08:38,800
Well, anyway.

1564
01:08:38,800 --> 01:08:41,800
Until until next time.

1565
01:08:41,800 --> 01:08:43,800
Don't hand your doll over to some weird girl,

1566
01:08:43,800 --> 01:08:46,800
even if she wants to hold it before you're about to have a big match.

1567
01:08:46,800 --> 01:08:47,800
Don't just hand over Hikaru.

1568
01:08:47,800 --> 01:08:48,800
It's Hikaru.

1569
01:08:48,800 --> 01:08:49,800
What are you doing?

1570
01:08:49,800 --> 01:08:50,800
Trust no one.

1571
01:08:50,800 --> 01:08:51,800
Trust no one.

1572
01:08:51,800 --> 01:08:52,800
That's right.

1573
01:08:52,800 --> 01:08:53,800
Show Joe.

1574
01:08:53,800 --> 01:08:55,800
Expect the worst out of humanity.

1575
01:08:55,800 --> 01:08:59,800
Learn how we want humanity to die next week by tuning in.

1576
01:08:59,800 --> 01:09:00,800
Yes.

1577
01:09:00,800 --> 01:09:02,800
If dinosaurs want to do it, we'll have to find something else.

1578
01:09:02,800 --> 01:09:05,800
I'm going to say biblical flood.

1579
01:09:05,800 --> 01:09:06,800
All right.

1580
01:09:06,800 --> 01:09:08,800
See you guys later.
