00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:21,360
Welcome to Shojo, the podcast where me, Sarah, and my friend, Joe, us two wacky folks get

2
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:28,440
together talking about Shojo, a genre of anime that is typically for girls, kind of young

3
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,800
teens stuff, romance, all that good jazz.

4
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,960
And I'm more familiar with it being the targeted demographic.

5
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:37,840
And then we have Joe here.

6
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:42,760
Mr. I watch obscure anime.

7
00:00:43,480 --> 00:00:43,880
Okay.

8
00:00:45,480 --> 00:00:46,560
It's not that obscure.

9
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:48,280
These are people know what these are.

10
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:49,320
All ass anime.

11
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,240
It is old, but it's not obscure.

12
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:51,880
Okay.

13
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,240
It's, it's tasteful.

14
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:54,880
It's good.

15
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:55,680
So that's Joe.

16
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:56,560
I'm Sarah.

17
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,320
Also, we're getting some romance.

18
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:03,880
This time the teen romance has shown up in Angelic Layer a little bit in these episodes.

19
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:04,760
So get ready for that.

20
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:05,160
Yes.

21
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:09,480
It's already delivering more of the most shonen because if you haven't already caught on,

22
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:13,880
which you should listen to our other things far, obviously.

23
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:15,880
I think you should start with this episode.

24
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:17,280
I think you should start with the smoke.

25
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:18,080
Absolutely.

26
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:19,720
No, it's it.

27
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:21,280
Well, we're halfway now.

28
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,000
We're halfway through Angelic Layer.

29
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:23,440
This is it.

30
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:24,200
The halfway point.

31
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:28,480
We'll kind of go into what each of us has been up to in the last week.

32
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,520
I don't have very much interesting things.

33
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:33,240
Someone's been working at their company.

34
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:34,480
Someone's been doing their job.

35
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:36,160
I know, right?

36
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,480
Watching shows and too busy working.

37
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:40,680
Yeah.

38
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,720
Well, it's like, I, OK, I guess I'll start.

39
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:48,680
I'll work and then immediately take a nap for like three hours.

40
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,680
And then it's already like nine at night or something.

41
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,320
And then I don't have that much time before it's bedtime again.

42
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,600
So I've just had limited time to work with this week.

43
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:03,200
But when I was a little adult, I know what a drag.

44
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,000
Imagine having children.

45
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:07,960
No, I will not imagine.

46
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,000
No, I don't want to.

47
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,280
Yeah. Oh, I do.

48
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,000
OK, I just remember before I get into what I've been doing.

49
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,360
I did have a nightmare.

50
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:20,880
I did have a nightmare that I have brought like a bunch of manga with me to,

51
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:22,880
I don't know, it's like a bookstore or something.

52
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,360
And I had my manga from home with me.

53
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,920
And at first, I thought these people were just checking out my sweet collection.

54
00:02:28,920 --> 00:02:32,000
But then I realized they had stolen some of my volumes.

55
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,200
So I like reported them.

56
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,120
I was like, I will seek revenge.

57
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,320
I will get my manga back and all this stuff.

58
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:45,200
So even in my dreams, my my anxiety about my collection.

59
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,280
This is like your prize possession.

60
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:52,480
I feel like you're having all these nightmares about them all going up in flames

61
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:53,960
or people coming and stealing them.

62
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:55,160
Yes, yes.

63
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:56,920
You're like collection of books.

64
00:02:56,920 --> 00:03:00,560
This is from the age of 13 to 19.

65
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:05,040
All money went to manga and it's a lot of money.

66
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:09,160
And I mean, I took the break for college and I've slowed down.

67
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,920
So I'm only currently collecting norgani and skip beats.

68
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,040
I am like, I had to buy a second bookcase.

69
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,000
So I'm reading books now, just like in general.

70
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,800
Oh, real books and not have some comic books.

71
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,440
Manga. I have some comic books.

72
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,200
I have some I about all the Akira manga and I haven't read it yet.

73
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,240
That's I haven't even seen that movie.

74
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,440
It looks creepy, but I know it's like a classic.

75
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,640
It's cool. Well, the animation is super cool.

76
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,400
But I've heard that the like manga is really good because like the

77
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,480
paneling is in the arts really good also.

78
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:37,920
But I had to buy a second bookcase.

79
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:38,720
That's where I'm at.

80
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:40,880
But I can't imagine how many bookcases you must have.

81
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:45,000
Well, right now I have five.

82
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,400
Five. Five.

83
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,480
Yeah. And I've had a double stack.

84
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,520
And there are I mean, because Ikea just has really cheap little shitty ones

85
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:59,000
or or Target, Target has cheap ones you can get that are like 20 or 30 bucks.

86
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,480
So I just get those and they just look so good together.

87
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,200
Yeah. So many, many books.

88
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,040
And then let's see, Playing More Horizons Here at Dawn.

89
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:14,360
And I was reading this web comic called I Shall Master This Family,

90
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,320
which is pretty cute.

91
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:21,680
I know it's like the name is like, oh, God, no, more reincarnation crap.

92
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,400
Is it a reincarnation thing?

93
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,120
I wasn't even thinking that from the title.

94
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,160
It's I started it, took a break and back.

95
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,800
So I don't like super remember the beginning of it.

96
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,240
But I guess it's like this Korean lady who is then, you know,

97
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:37,880
woke up as this young noble girl and then she lives that life

98
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,200
and then she gets killed and then she's re.

99
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,280
But wait, there goes back in time as that person,

100
00:04:43,280 --> 00:04:45,680
but not the first person she was.

101
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:46,880
She's the kid again.

102
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:48,880
And so this time she's doing things differently

103
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,200
because now she has the knowledge of the future.

104
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:56,560
So she got reincarnated once as a fantasy person and yes, died the whole life.

105
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,520
And now she's doing it a second.

106
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,560
Yes, it's weird.

107
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,040
I know, like just cut out the first bit makes no sense.

108
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,480
But anyways, it's like pretty nice.

109
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,080
I mean, at first I was like, damn, where's the romantic lead?

110
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:11,520
Like, come on.

111
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:12,400
Is it a drama?

112
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,880
I don't know what's happening. Is it like, yeah.

113
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:20,160
But so she has like her family and then like her dad's with her son.

114
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,920
So she's not really in the running to be considered a future heir.

115
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:25,200
She's a girl, blah, blah, blah.

116
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:29,040
But it's like kind of starts when she's eight and then she grows up.

117
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,400
But so you get a lot of time with just her and her family.

118
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:37,440
So like you really like the relationship of her and her dad and her and her grandpa

119
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:41,040
and then her dad like almost died and I like to shut it to her and everything.

120
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:42,480
I was like, nah.

121
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:43,840
But is she acting normal?

122
00:05:43,840 --> 00:05:48,160
Like if I was, if I, if me as an adult went back to when I was eight,

123
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,800
I would be like a super disaffected eight year old.

124
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,600
Like I wouldn't want to go to elementary school.

125
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:54,560
I'd be out.

126
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,640
Well, I mean, I'd be like, I know calculus.

127
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:57,440
I'm leaving.

128
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:58,320
The yeah.

129
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:03,200
So she's kind of, you know, she is a kid, but she's trying to find subtle ways

130
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:08,880
to like turn things in her favor by inter, uh, like interrupting things

131
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:13,360
or changing the direction because basically she wants to set her dad up for success

132
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,640
and prevent him because he like gets this illness.

133
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,960
So she like ahead of time has this lady start developing a cure for it.

134
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,080
And like she takes a lot of preemptive measurements.

135
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:29,200
Um, so she's very ambitious to pretend to be eight.

136
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,120
I know a whole year.

137
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,360
I know that would suck.

138
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:38,240
And then having to pretend to be nine as if you weren't like 45 or whatever.

139
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:39,360
Yeah, that'd be tough.

140
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,320
Um, there was an awful nightmare world.

141
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:42,720
Yeah.

142
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:49,280
Oh, well, speaking of which, there's another web, uh, comic called my reason to die,

143
00:06:49,280 --> 00:06:51,600
which is a very dramatic one.

144
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,480
Oh, well, actually this is a huge spoiler alert.

145
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:59,840
So if you're reading that, just skip like 30 seconds, but it turns out that it's this girl

146
00:06:59,840 --> 00:07:05,760
in the sky that she's into and he's been living the same life over and over again.

147
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,200
Uh, like his whole life, he has to keep living over and over again.

148
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:10,800
If they nightmare.

149
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:11,280
Yeah.

150
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:18,000
So like so long, like how much life of the same life you have to live is just exhausting

151
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,920
to think of, you know, like, oh, I got to do this all over again.

152
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,000
It's like Groundhog Day, but it's your whole life.

153
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:24,240
Yeah.

154
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,360
I guess you could, you could do things different.

155
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,760
So maybe that's like a little bit better than just like one day.

156
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,920
Well, essentially it's like he's trying to figure out the thing he needs to do.

157
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:35,760
So that the stops happen.

158
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,160
Uh, but yeah, that'd be awful.

159
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,280
And that's all I've really been up to of notes.

160
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,440
So what have you been up to, Joe?

161
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,760
What have you been watching playing?

162
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:47,520
I'm watching Original Macross.

163
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,160
I'm watching an old, I'm watching an anime from the 80s.

164
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:50,640
Yep.

165
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,480
As I'm sure you're surprised to learn.

166
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:53,680
Yeah.

167
00:07:53,680 --> 00:08:01,440
So Macross is like it was original Macross was supposed to be comedy spoof of Gundam or something.

168
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:03,440
But really just became its own show.

169
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:08,080
And also if you watch it, like this is clearly a thing that's like, oh, in the like pitch for the show,

170
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:09,120
that was the pitch for the show.

171
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,600
And then when they started writing it, that's not at all what's happening.

172
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:12,320
Yeah.

173
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:13,760
Once they got the green light.

174
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:14,240
They changed it.

175
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:14,480
Yeah.

176
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:22,880
Because basically the premise is at like the end of the 90s, a giant alien spaceship hit Earth

177
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:24,320
that had all this future technology.

178
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:25,840
And it's like this big battle station.

179
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:32,080
It's the Macross and all of like the world governments have like, oh, they're aliens.

180
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:39,680
We got to got to combine into one human unit and refurbish this battle station and have something to

181
00:08:39,680 --> 00:08:42,800
defend ourselves with from all these weird alien tech or whatever.

182
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:48,080
So they have this big war and then that works itself out and they refurbish this battleship.

183
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:53,920
And it's like the show starts on like the day of the like, finally, the battleship's going to set sail

184
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:55,920
and they get attacked by a bunch of weird aliens.

185
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:56,560
It's crazy.

186
00:08:56,560 --> 00:08:57,760
It's like pretty good though.

187
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:02,080
So in terms of what is happening like with the lead characters.

188
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:02,880
How so?

189
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,080
One of the problems Gundam has is that it writes women pretty bad.

190
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:07,120
Oh dear.

191
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:12,560
Normally they just don't get stuff to do or like whatever they try to do a romance thing.

192
00:09:12,560 --> 00:09:16,480
It's not very good because most people are just like shouting the themes of like what their character

193
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:17,600
represents all the time.

194
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:23,600
Essentially, they're just there to like send off and receive as they come and go from battle,

195
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:24,320
probably.

196
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:24,720
Yeah.

197
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,880
Well, like I know you've talked about before how like, oh shonen stuff doesn't do romance very well.

198
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:33,360
And I'm like the reason for that, I think, and that what this show actually does a pretty good job of

199
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:39,840
or has, I'm like five episodes in so far or six episodes is they take the time to put the two like

200
00:09:40,560 --> 00:09:45,680
romantic leads or whatever in the same place for a while and let them just hang out for two episodes

201
00:09:45,680 --> 00:09:49,440
or like an episode and a half and you really get an understanding of why they like each other.

202
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:49,760
Yeah.

203
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:54,240
Of like, oh, they play off each other really well and they make each other laugh and they like,

204
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,520
this is one thing that she admires about him and this stuff that he admires about her.

205
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:58,640
Like they set all that up.

206
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:02,480
They spend the episode three doing that and like three and four is like that.

207
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:06,800
And so they set it up up front so that everything subsequent makes sense because I already have

208
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,280
that understanding of why these characters like each other.

209
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:14,240
Instead of just because they're the opposite genders, they automatically like each other.

210
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:14,320
Yeah.

211
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:18,960
It's not just like, well, this is the girl who clearly got character designed pretty well.

212
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:20,880
So we know she's going to be important.

213
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:27,840
And it's just interesting to see how like if you set the stuff up right, it pays off later down the line.

214
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,640
Like it's not, you know, it's not that hard to make this stuff work.

215
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:31,920
They just kind of don't do it.

216
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,600
I know you should just start making your own anime Joe shown how it's done.

217
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:40,800
Well, I already think like, I feel like the real problem with a lot because I was thinking about

218
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,200
like different romance and shonen stuff.

219
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,480
And usually I think they do one side like one half of it pretty well.

220
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,880
Like I was thinking about like a Naruto, right?

221
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,240
It's like pretty convincing to me why Hinata likes Naruto.

222
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,440
Like I think they do a pretty good job of what she likes about him.

223
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,480
And they do a really bad job laying out what he likes about her.

224
00:10:58,480 --> 00:10:59,360
Well, because he doesn't.

225
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,320
Because he doesn't really until like later on.

226
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,320
And then it's just like, oh, this works out.

227
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:08,720
And now we can all get buried in heterosexuality rules.

228
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:10,960
And then Boruto starts with.

229
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,200
Boruto is a stupid name.

230
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,440
And I'll never watch it because of that.

231
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:15,840
It's so funny.

232
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:20,960
I'm sorry. I get it because I was going to say because his name is Minato and the Naruto.

233
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,800
So it's like the toe, but come on, there's gotta be something better than Boruto.

234
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,280
It's a crime against the anime.

235
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:28,480
Yeah, it's pretty bad.

236
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:32,640
But like a lot of the shonen stuff I always imagine being like they do a pretty good job

237
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:36,720
of like setting up like the woman's motivation for liking the guy and they do a terrible job

238
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,240
of like selling up the guys of motivation because I, you know, I don't know if they can imagine that

239
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,560
med would like women or other for anything other than how they look, I guess.

240
00:11:44,560 --> 00:11:45,280
I don't know.

241
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:51,840
I think it's because like, you know, the chick, all her whole purpose for being there is to like

242
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:56,640
him, whereas he's got other stuff to do and she's just like, you know, there on the side,

243
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:03,520
you know, like make the women very simple, like no other interests except the dude.

244
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:08,800
And then the dude's like has all this epic things going on that he's involved with typically.

245
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,960
Yeah, they should let the men have emotions.

246
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:11,840
Yeah.

247
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:16,480
Like I still can't believe that in bleach each you go in a roof, you don't get together.

248
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:17,920
They so clearly get along better.

249
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:19,840
Yeah.

250
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:20,160
Yep.

251
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:22,000
It's so good.

252
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:22,960
They're so good together.

253
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:24,880
Anyway, that is one nice thing.

254
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:25,680
That's what I was watching.

255
00:12:25,680 --> 00:12:30,960
I was thinking about this this morning, but just Angelic Blair, even though a lot of the characters

256
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:32,160
are dolls, they're self female.

257
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:38,320
So it's really cool seeing all these cool, like, you know, so much variety in these female leads

258
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:45,040
and characters because I feel like if there is a female character, normally there's like the token,

259
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:50,640
there's the dude, the friends, and then the love interest, and then the chick who's a friend.

260
00:12:51,920 --> 00:13:00,400
But that that character is always either kind of bumbling and unaware and, you know, overly

261
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:07,520
endowed and then or they're super aware of that fact and they're super like hyper sexualized and

262
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,280
stuff like they're never normal.

263
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:13,360
They're always like ditzy or seductress.

264
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:14,960
What are you thinking of specifically?

265
00:13:15,680 --> 00:13:18,720
Well, I was thinking of Rungeeku from Bleach, right?

266
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,960
Cause like she could be interesting.

267
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:25,440
Well, she does have interesting things, but like she's like a super side character though.

268
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:26,400
I know, I know.

269
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:30,160
I'm trying to think of something more like Orihime is the one in Bleach.

270
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,000
That's like a main character and like Rukia.

271
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:32,880
And I feel like their boat.

272
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:36,000
I mean, Orihime is very like a ditzy and has big boobs.

273
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:36,320
Yeah.

274
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,960
But she's like nice, but like Rukia is normal.

275
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:39,360
Yeah.

276
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,480
Well, Rukia, just hang out with Renge.

277
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:42,880
Okay.

278
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,360
Like, no, I don't like that.

279
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:46,800
Fix your stupid hair.

280
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:48,160
Get it out of your face, girl.

281
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:48,640
I hate it.

282
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:52,160
I mean, it's not as bad as that one girl with like the make tongue.

283
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:53,120
You're talking shit about her.

284
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:54,000
Yeah, she's the best.

285
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:56,480
Yeah, she's great.

286
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:57,360
She sucks.

287
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:58,160
Her freaking.

288
00:13:58,880 --> 00:13:59,840
She sucks at drawing.

289
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:00,320
It's great.

290
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:05,600
Right. Her entire idea of what the Soul Society is is just completely incorrect.

291
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:07,680
She's whatever.

292
00:14:07,680 --> 00:14:13,920
I need to have a conversation sometime about how the listen, the Soul Society arc of Bleach,

293
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:20,240
you know, the part where they go to get season two and three is probably the best arc of any

294
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:21,200
shonen thing ever.

295
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:22,320
Oh, yeah.

296
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:27,840
I have like recently, like in the last like two years, I read the manga for it and I like

297
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:31,760
rewatched part of the show for it and I'm like, this is maybe the best stuff that's ever happened.

298
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:35,200
And then the rest of the show just like tanks immediately from there.

299
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:35,600
Yeah.

300
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:39,200
Well, because it's a shonen that has like world buildings.

301
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:43,760
We don't know these things and there's all these cool characters and it's kind of tournament

302
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:49,520
style, which is like essential for the shonen with like a clear objective and stuff.

303
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,640
Yeah, but it's like, it not just has world building, but it has perspective.

304
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:56,560
Like I feel like a lot of the stuff that more modern shows are missing is like any perspective

305
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:57,120
on stuff.

306
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,920
Like this is the main problem I have with Jijitsu Kaizen, which is like, yeah, it has

307
00:14:59,920 --> 00:15:03,280
world building, but none of the characters have opinions on what that world is.

308
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:08,480
Like everyone just kind of takes everything at face value and there's no like ideology

309
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:09,600
really in there at all.

310
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:13,280
And it's kind of, it just doesn't feel realistic at all that none of these characters would have

311
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:18,080
like opinions about the way things are run or who is running them or how the world should change

312
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:19,600
or like what the world should be.

313
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:21,360
And Bleach has that.

314
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:22,560
And that's what makes it good.

315
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:23,280
I got fine.

316
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:24,320
I definitely are.

317
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:29,680
And unless I for some reason sold them, I have the first three seasons on box set.

318
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:32,080
I can't remember where those are.

319
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:34,240
But yeah, I mean, yeah.

320
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,000
And then that's the thing, right?

321
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,120
A good thing, it'll go bad if it goes on long enough.

322
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:40,720
So it's like just be short.

323
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,040
Like Demon Slayer is very popular right now.

324
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:46,400
I've read that I have the manga in its entirety.

325
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,680
So it's like fairly short compared to a lot of shonen.

326
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,160
Like just end it on a high note, you know?

327
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,080
It's kind of just a high note.

328
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:55,840
Well, not a terrible note.

329
00:15:55,840 --> 00:16:00,240
Like, you know, seasons and seasons of it just declining and then ending.

330
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:02,800
It's fine.

331
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:03,600
It's fine.

332
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,480
The first opening is freaking amazing.

333
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,440
But yeah, sorry, we were talking about women characters.

334
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,000
I dragged us talking about how cool this is.

335
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,400
But yeah, whatever.

336
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,080
It's because you're like, oh, this is just like wrong geek here.

337
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:19,760
I'm like, she's like the super.

338
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:21,040
Well, I just think right.

339
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:22,080
She's barely in the show.

340
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:26,880
Essentially her and Orkeame, they're both redheads with big boobs.

341
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:32,560
One's the ditzy one and one's the super like self aware that everyone's like staring at her boobs all the time.

342
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,840
Like those are just two typical things I see.

343
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:36,320
What about Yorichi?

344
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,240
Yorichi is freaking cool.

345
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:40,720
Oh, she's so cool.

346
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:42,960
See, because she's like one, it's nice.

347
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,040
Look, that's an interesting looking character.

348
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:46,000
She's diverse.

349
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:47,600
And the soul society makes sense.

350
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:51,360
In Japan, it makes sense that it's everyone's Japanese, right?

351
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,680
Because that's like the how it is from the most part.

352
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,720
That, you know, they're not as welcoming to foreigners living there.

353
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:04,240
But in the soul society, in theory, everyone should be from around the world in the soul society and not just Japan.

354
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,720
So there is a bit more variety in the characters.

355
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:11,440
Yeah, I mean, but like they are imagining that the afterlife is basically just like feudal Japan.

356
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:12,880
Yeah, that's true.

357
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:13,520
Which is crazy.

358
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,280
Oh, I need to talk about bleach sometime, but I don't think we should do it now.

359
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:23,440
But yeah, I think there is, I mean, I think you're right about like the broad archetype of like how women are portrayed.

360
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:24,240
Yeah.

361
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:26,800
Yeah, it's pretty bad.

362
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:28,320
Mostly they just don't get stuff to do.

363
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:29,360
Yeah.

364
00:17:29,360 --> 00:17:31,920
They just like don't get a character arc, which sucks.

365
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:32,640
Yeah.

366
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:42,320
Or like they aren't a thing at all until at some point they just conveniently make them cool for the sake of like a surprise like Mary Jane from Fairy Tale.

367
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:43,520
What does that happen?

368
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:44,320
Who?

369
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,720
I think it's Mary Jane from Fairy Tale.

370
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:47,440
I've read the manga.

371
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:51,360
I haven't really watched much of the anime, but I feel like she seems pretty laid back.

372
00:17:51,360 --> 00:17:52,640
It's a little bit awful hair cut.

373
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:56,160
Uh, whoa, with the stupid hair ponytail thing sticking up.

374
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:57,360
It's like straight up, yeah.

375
00:17:57,360 --> 00:18:01,600
Yeah, her, but then she like has this cool power, but it's a while to see that.

376
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,200
I don't remember that show at all.

377
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,320
Uh, it's the same person who made Rave Master, right?

378
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:08,640
I don't know what Rave Master is.

379
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:10,080
You don't know what Rave Master is?

380
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:10,640
Yeah.

381
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:16,480
When I was in sixth grade reading Tokyo Mew Mew, all the boys, all the nerd boys were reading

382
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:17,600
Rave Master.

383
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,040
Yeah, I didn't read in middle school.

384
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:19,760
Thank you.

385
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:20,160
Okay.

386
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,120
Let's see who's going to be playing Halo and being cool.

387
00:18:23,120 --> 00:18:24,160
Dear, okay.

388
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:27,040
Okay.

389
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:33,360
Anything else you wanted to discuss before we get into episode 11?

390
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:35,120
I have other things I'm watching.

391
00:18:35,120 --> 00:18:37,200
I think we'll talk about them next week.

392
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:37,760
Okay.

393
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:38,560
Yeah, gotta save it.

394
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:42,960
And I'll go on like a long thing about how Star Wars Rebels is really good.

395
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:43,440
Rebels.

396
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:44,160
For that.

397
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:44,640
Okay.

398
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:50,400
But yeah, so now we'll have Joe Alredo's lovely script that he agonized over.

399
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:51,440
Let's go.

400
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:51,840
Yep.

401
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:52,160
Let's go.

402
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,080
Halfway, halfway through the show.

403
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:57,280
I think, yes.

404
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:57,520
Yes.

405
00:18:58,400 --> 00:18:58,960
I can do math.

406
00:18:58,960 --> 00:18:59,520
All right.

407
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:00,400
I can do math.

408
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:01,120
I can do it.

409
00:19:01,120 --> 00:19:01,600
Okay.

410
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:05,440
Angelic Layer, episode 11 is called The Match.

411
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,200
Hikaru and Mal's real fight.

412
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,840
If you don't remember last time, you know, they were having that fight and it was a cliff

413
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:11,280
hanger, picks up right off of it.

414
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,240
We open on a flashback of Alice creating an angel.

415
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:18,320
Monika comes in and sees how it's going and Alice explains that she's no good at controlling

416
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,040
angels, but she does get mad when her angels lose.

417
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:25,280
Then we transition to a fight between Suzuka and Monika's angels from last year's tournament.

418
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:26,000
So this isn't Mao.

419
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:26,800
This is a different one.

420
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:27,840
I think it does have a name.

421
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:29,120
I just didn't write it down in this summary.

422
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:34,080
Suzuka wins that match and Monika and Alice are dumbstruck that they lost to a four year

423
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,400
old because, uh, I don't know, four at the time.

424
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,400
They resolved to defeat Suzuka next year.

425
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:39,280
Then the credits play.

426
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:43,040
After the opening credits, we jump back to the present where Hikaru's movements are being

427
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,760
delayed by the device Alice planted on her last episode.

428
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,400
Hikaru is really struggling as Mao is beating the crap out of her.

429
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:52,720
Back in the control room, an angry Ichon decides that he is going to stop the match.

430
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:58,640
When Fuji Mori asks why, he explains that Hikaru is being inhibited by a special coordinate marker

431
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,200
which has been causing quantum interference.

432
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:06,720
But before he leaves, Ojiro shows up and we learn that he and Ichon are brothers.

433
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,920
Ojiro tells Ichon that he can take care of the problem for him.

434
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:14,000
We return to the match where Hikaru can only block at this point while Alice keeps causing

435
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:14,800
interference.

436
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:20,160
Annoyed that the match won't end, Monika explains to Misaki that she must beat Hadoko to regain

437
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:21,280
her lost pride.

438
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,400
Misaki tells her that that's weird and they should just be playing for fun.

439
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,520
Then she says that age doesn't matter in Angelic Layer because anybody can play it,

440
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,200
which is what makes the game so fun.

441
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,160
Mao ready's a knockout kick while Hikaru is lagged out.

442
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,920
But Misaki regains connection just in time for Hikaru to land a quick punch right into

443
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:37,760
Mao's chest which does a lot of damage.

444
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:42,480
Alice panics and starts activating her device more and more but it's stopped when Ojiro

445
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,960
shows up and calls her out on it.

446
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:49,600
Mao and Hikaru continue to fight while Ojiro explains to Alice that he loves Angelic Layer

447
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,320
and that nobody should be able to win outside of Pure Skill.

448
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:57,280
Monika starts wondering why Alice isn't lagging Hikaru anymore so she turns and sees

449
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,880
Ojiro near Alice and wonders why she isn't ejected from the game for cheating.

450
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,440
While Monika is thinking, Mao is stopped moving.

451
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:07,600
Misaki asks Monoko what's up and waits for Monika to regain her composure.

452
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:13,680
The match continues and Hikaru is using Suzuka's moves which is kind of bad news because Monoko's

453
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:17,280
whole deal is beating Suzuka so she starts to counter them really effectively.

454
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:22,160
This causes Misaki to panic so she starts changing it up a little bit and lands a good hit on Mao.

455
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:23,680
Elsewhere Shuko is impressed.

456
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,160
Then Hikaru kicks her out of the layer winning the match.

457
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:30,080
Back in the cafeteria, Hikaru and Shoko are watching the end of the match.

458
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:35,840
Hikaru apologizes to Shoko for delaying the interview but Shoko quietly states that if

459
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:42,400
Misaki and her mom are going to run into each other whether they want to or not.

460
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:46,080
Which really confuses Hikaru who doesn't understand the context of that sentence.

461
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,760
After the match, Misaki asks Monika if Mao is alright.

462
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:54,320
Monika removes the device from Hikaru claiming that she just had some lint in her hair and then

463
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:54,720
leaves.

464
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:59,360
Ichan talks on the phone with Shuko and tells her that she's reckless and she should take care

465
00:21:59,360 --> 00:22:00,000
of herself.

466
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,800
On a park bench, Monika and Alice lament their loss.

467
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:07,840
Monika says that she's gonna try to make her own angel and that Alice should try playing with Mao

468
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:11,040
because Angelic Layer is after all about having fun.

469
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:14,880
Back in the waiting room, Misaki thinks about how crazy it is that she's in the semi-finals

470
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,200
when she can't even do simple vaults in gym class.

471
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:22,400
Honoka comes in and we learn that they're not matched up against each other in the next fight.

472
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:26,960
And then Kaede and Sai both enter and introduce themselves because we have our top four.

473
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:32,080
A receptionist calls them in and Misaki gets nervous to go out on stage to present the top

474
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:32,640
four.

475
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:36,320
And Sai holds her hand and tells her that she's only gotta take the first step and then it's easy.

476
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,480
They walk onto the stage to a cheering crowd.

477
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:42,800
Misaki thinks Sai and Sai tells her that she hopes Misaki will overcome Hikaru's weakness

478
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:46,560
before facing her in the final if she wins her match against Kaede.

479
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:50,080
Misaki is shocked because she didn't even realize that Hikaru had a weak point.

480
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:54,000
Elsewhere, Ichan and Ojira wonder if Misaki will be able to figure out the weak point

481
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:55,360
that was mentioned.

482
00:22:55,360 --> 00:22:56,960
Once a dently at the same time.

483
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:58,080
Everybody knows this now.

484
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,640
And Ojira says he'd like to battle Misaki one day.

485
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:04,080
We end on a concerned Misaki wondering what the heck her weak point is that everybody

486
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,240
seems to know as we cut to credits.

487
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:09,280
Oh yeah, okay.

488
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:10,160
Oh boy.

489
00:23:11,120 --> 00:23:16,640
So yeah, because a lot of this was just fighting so there wasn't as much like combos happening.

490
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:22,640
But in the flashback, it's at the third nationals.

491
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:28,160
So there's been three nationals, which I assume it took at least a couple years for it to gain

492
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,280
momentum to even warrant having nationals in the first place.

493
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:35,680
So maybe Angelic later has been around for five-ish years perhaps.

494
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:37,280
Hey, I have a question.

495
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:38,000
Yes.

496
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,480
When did Shuko leave Misaki?

497
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:41,920
Was it five years ago?

498
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:43,120
Was it more than that?

499
00:23:43,120 --> 00:23:45,120
I don't remember how long she'd say that.

500
00:23:45,120 --> 00:23:48,720
She's said since kindergarten, which would be like five.

501
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:50,400
So and she's 12 now.

502
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,120
And yeah, getting friggin Madoka.

503
00:23:53,120 --> 00:23:58,560
I could see it being hard to swallow that you get demolished by a four-year-old.

504
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:00,560
I was watching that flashback.

505
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,720
Who's barely pie-trained probably.

506
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:06,400
Yeah, before you hear like she's like, oh, she's got it out for Suzuka.

507
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,040
And it's like she has a vendetta against a five-year-old.

508
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:09,760
It sounds ridiculous.

509
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:13,440
But then when you see this flashback, it's like, yeah, it must be pretty devastating to lose to

510
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:14,960
an actual four-year-old.

511
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:16,240
Yeah, jeez.

512
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,880
Like I would also feel like a loser.

513
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:23,600
Yeah, I mean, technically that's like a mentality that go against the thing you're playing,

514
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:25,360
which is that everyone's equal.

515
00:24:25,360 --> 00:24:30,880
I guess that just because that's kind of how it is, that doesn't mean that the people doing it like that part of it.

516
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:32,160
Well, it just yeah.

517
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,000
I mean, that's that's Misaki's whole thing.

518
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:41,440
And like it makes sense, but also it must be very jarring, especially for like a sport that's only been around for like three years to be like,

519
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:48,240
it's so equal that you can lose to literally anybody, even a four-year-old, which you would like never lose to anything else in a competition.

520
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:53,280
Against a four-year-old, you know, like you can you can beat a four-year-old at anything.

521
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,720
I can be a four-year-old at anything, except for maybe Angelic Fire.

522
00:24:57,920 --> 00:24:58,560
I don't know.

523
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:04,480
My one of my kid brothers, he's like a boy genius and he probably was better than math.

524
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,640
And I am now as a four-year-old.

525
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:07,520
Okay.

526
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,520
That's how bad I am at math.

527
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:14,320
I have some notes about the the doll that Alice is making in the flashback.

528
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:15,040
It's now.

529
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:15,680
Not now.

530
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:16,720
Oh, is it?

531
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:17,600
Oh, no.

532
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,560
It's it's it's the previous version of now.

533
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:21,360
Okay.

534
00:25:21,360 --> 00:25:22,000
Yeah.

535
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,400
It's the similar aesthetics.

536
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:25,840
Eunpio Eunpio.

537
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:26,960
Yeah, something like that.

538
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:28,480
That's that's the doll's name is Eunpio.

539
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:32,400
I think I saw it on like the display when she was fighting Suzakone the flashback.

540
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,200
Also, like I think Alice just always makes cat girls.

541
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:36,240
Yeah, I guess.

542
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,960
Because also has popular thing we see in the anime.

543
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:40,160
Very funny.

544
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:44,560
I also have some like it show when she's making it, it shows that staff screen that we saw.

545
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:49,200
So I can do a comparison between stats and Hikaru.

546
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:52,000
So I have it written down here.

547
00:25:52,000 --> 00:26:00,480
And the biggest thing is like, okay, so Eunpio is height 70% weight 65% and Hikaru is 40%

548
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:01,680
height and 30% weight.

549
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:05,680
So she is like taking all the points out of height and weight and put them into the other stuff.

550
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:09,440
Offensive power for Hikaru is 80% and Eunpio is 70.

551
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:14,080
Defensive power for Hikaru is 50 and Eunpio is 30%.

552
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:18,560
And then quickness for Hikaru is 100 and for Eunpio it's 50 and then physical strength is

553
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:19,520
they're both 70.

554
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:23,600
So basically what Misaki has done is taken all of the points out of height and weight

555
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:27,680
and put them into offensive and defensive power, which makes a little bit more sense as to why

556
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:31,760
like Hikaru can tank more hits and also dish out better hits.

557
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:37,600
Well, you would think I'd like to see what the tallest and shortest possible versions of these

558
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:39,600
angels are side by side.

559
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:44,320
But you would think that I don't always my points in height.

560
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:48,640
I'll just make them a little shrimp and then I'll be super strong because they'll have the

561
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:52,560
you know points for height go into something more productive.

562
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:57,040
Well, it's interesting the height one would be the weight.

563
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:01,440
Yeah, because I think it like weight makes sense because so many matches end with somebody

564
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,440
getting pushed out of the layer.

565
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:07,120
So like even if you had higher points, if your person gets knocked out, you're just out.

566
00:27:07,120 --> 00:27:07,840
You just lose.

567
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,880
So weight actually does feel like something that matters.

568
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:14,720
A hefty little chunk around the player.

569
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:18,960
Like if you I'm assuming if you're like max weight, you basically have to lose on points.

570
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:23,680
If this was Pikmin, then the best would be the purple ones, the big fatties.

571
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,120
They never get pushed out of the layer.

572
00:27:27,120 --> 00:27:31,040
Yeah, but that was my that was my notes on that is like interesting.

573
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,680
We actually see some mechanics of how the dolls are specced.

574
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:42,800
And they OK, so they are Alison Madoka or sisters, but they don't seem very close.

575
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:49,520
Like they're both scheming together, but they don't seem to share any like sisterly bond.

576
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:52,400
I don't know, love or something like they're just you know, they're like.

577
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:53,440
Why do you say that?

578
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:59,120
Well, I just it's weird like some of the system like the younger one makes a thing and then

579
00:27:59,120 --> 00:28:00,560
the other one just takes it.

580
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:01,760
It's like a relay.

581
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:03,760
It just it seems bizarre.

582
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:10,480
And freaking if you're going to be scheming, don't yell your plans.

583
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:16,400
And also OK, if one person one of the day is talks, the other can hear it, right?

584
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:17,280
Are they mic'd up?

585
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:18,720
Can everyone hear what you're saying?

586
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:22,080
Because I feel like people would be able to connect the dots if you're yelling like,

587
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:23,680
you can't blah, blah, blah.

588
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:25,760
You know, I don't think there was.

589
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:26,800
Were they talking to each other?

590
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:27,760
I don't think they were.

591
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,400
Well, they weren't talking to each other, but they were both kind of saying,

592
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:35,520
well, they have like the scene where Madoka starts a sentence and Alice kind of finishes it

593
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:39,920
from the crowd, but they're both kind of like angrily shouting like,

594
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:44,000
will it be the ones to defeat Sizuka or something like that?

595
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:44,720
Because they're in sync.

596
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,000
See, I feel like they're so in sync.

597
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:46,480
They don't need it.

598
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:48,400
OK, because they're such a good system.

599
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:52,800
OK, the title of the last episode was mean sisters.

600
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:55,440
Yeah, they're mean together.

601
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:56,640
OK, that's bonding.

602
00:28:57,680 --> 00:28:58,080
Jesus.

603
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,160
They form a girl gang.

604
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,120
They don't seem to enjoy like they're not having fun.

605
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:08,880
And that's like a plot point like, oh my god, OK, I have a hard time suspending disbelief

606
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:15,600
that they can like learn it just in that moment and like change their mind and how they feel

607
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:19,440
about everything just by like two sentences from Masaki.

608
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:20,800
Oh, geez.

609
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,200
Well, I mean, I feel like it's a little bit more than that.

610
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:24,160
Like it's not just like that.

611
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:25,760
I feel like that's the tipping point stuff.

612
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:29,920
It's like, hey, even your opponent is saying that this is like they're cheating at this tournament.

613
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:30,080
Right.

614
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:30,800
Like they're trying.

615
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:32,960
They want to beat Suzuka outright.

616
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:33,680
Well, I wonder.

617
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:34,160
Right.

618
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:36,800
OK, so like they don't even think they can beat Masaki.

619
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:38,160
They have to cheat against her.

620
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:41,200
Like it's like they're really in a desperate situation.

621
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:42,720
Like they don't seem well.

622
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:44,000
It's not subtle.

623
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:50,080
It's kind of like with the bully chick who with the whips because she knew Masaki wouldn't know

624
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:50,560
about it.

625
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:54,480
But these people don't necessarily know how much she knows the banjale player.

626
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,680
So you think they went cheap with something that's so obvious.

627
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:01,280
They're cheating that she would just call them out and then it all be null and void.

628
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:02,400
Wait, I mean, they got caught.

629
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:03,440
It's not like they got away.

630
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,160
I mean, I know why do they think they could?

631
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:07,200
But because they're desperate.

632
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:07,840
This is what I'm saying.

633
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:09,200
Like this is a bad plan.

634
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:10,240
They say something.

635
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:11,920
Oh, is it the quantum interference?

636
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,960
I haven't gotten over Ojiro's expletive or not Ojiro's.

637
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:16,160
Ushan's explanation of what's happening.

638
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:16,720
Yeah.

639
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:16,800
What is happening?

640
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:18,880
I was like thought transmission.

641
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,360
That's how I guess it works.

642
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,280
Quantum interference.

643
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:23,360
I don't know.

644
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:28,720
Are they quantum entangling the neurons in your brain with whatever

645
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:30,960
activates the doll and what's happening?

646
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:32,240
It's like it's one to one.

647
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:36,480
That's why your thoughts can like your neurons firing to move your arms,

648
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,600
moves their arms because quantum entanglement is happening.

649
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:40,960
Is that the interference?

650
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:44,480
Did Ichan make the most advanced piece of technology that's ever been made

651
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,880
to design a children's game?

652
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:47,120
Yeah.

653
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,360
Yeah.

654
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,360
What?

655
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,920
I can only comprehend so much of what you've just said.

656
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:56,560
And the other thing happens immediately after he says that,

657
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,040
which is that Ichan and Ojiro are brothers?

658
00:30:59,040 --> 00:30:59,360
OK.

659
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:04,320
I was like I hinted at it last week like, oh, there's a reason why I keep kind of

660
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:08,160
referring to him as being creepy too because he's the creepy guy's brother.

661
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:09,920
So maybe it's just the two of them together.

662
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:11,040
A little weirdo's.

663
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:11,280
OK.

664
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:12,560
But he is not creepy.

665
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:15,120
And also Ichan isn't really that creepy either.

666
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:15,680
He's a whack job.

667
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:16,800
He's just doing jokes.

668
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:18,240
He's just doing weird bits.

669
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:19,040
Insane.

670
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:20,720
But they don't look anything alike.

671
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,280
How surprised were you by that?

672
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:27,760
I was pretty surprised just because there's like nothing that would make me think that.

673
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:28,400
Yeah.

674
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,080
Other than he like hangs around.

675
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:31,280
Yeah.

676
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:31,600
OK.

677
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:35,840
And then freaking Ichan gets up like, I'm going to go shut this game down.

678
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:37,520
And Ojiro is like, let me handle it.

679
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:39,040
And I'm like, you're wasting time.

680
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:44,160
She could be losing in the time you're spending like not doing something immediately.

681
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:47,680
Because she keeps getting hit a bajillion times.

682
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:49,040
And isn't out somehow.

683
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:50,560
That's because she got defense.

684
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:51,440
She put it in defense.

685
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:52,640
I guess.

686
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:55,040
As long as she just gets kicked out of the way or she's good.

687
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:59,440
I mean, also like 10 minutes, this seems to be going longer than other ones.

688
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:03,440
Like do they extend the time and the health point so it's more entertaining because there's

689
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,120
less contestants in these finals?

690
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:06,320
It's just two times.

691
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:06,880
You think?

692
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:07,360
OK.

693
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:08,160
Yeah.

694
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:13,120
At one point, Monika calls Misaki tiny or Hikaru tiny.

695
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,120
So like hitting her where it hurts.

696
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:15,680
Oh, yeah.

697
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:21,360
Misaki is like a response from Monika is like, we have to we have to defeat

698
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,280
Hanoko to regain our pride.

699
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:24,960
And Misaki is like, what?

700
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:25,920
I know.

701
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:27,040
We're all just playing a game.

702
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:27,920
What are you talking about?

703
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:30,880
Yeah.

704
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:34,880
I mean, everyone just speaks so cryptically that she goes again.

705
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,040
So she has no idea what they're referring to.

706
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:38,160
Yeah.

707
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:42,320
Well, it's just like weird because she is not tapped into like she's competitive in terms of

708
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:43,680
it's like she wants to play good games.

709
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:48,160
I have a note here that's like Misaki is just like Goku because she just wants to have good fights.

710
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:52,880
But she's not competitive in terms of like she's doing it for fun and not because yeah.

711
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:59,440
She's like scoring the righty or like, you know, becoming like they talk about being like, oh,

712
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:00,160
shining in the layer.

713
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:01,200
That's how an idol would do it.

714
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:02,640
But she doesn't like really want to be an idol.

715
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:04,320
She just wants to play good games.

716
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:08,800
So the idea that people care about like the status, I guess it's more than winning.

717
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:12,480
She wants the vote, the reason she wants to win is because then she can continue playing

718
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:13,120
at Jellic Layer.

719
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:17,440
It's not about being someone but the continuation of this thing that she's found that she loves

720
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:18,080
so much.

721
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:22,160
It's like the it's like the positive form of competitiveness and none of the negative

722
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:24,480
aspects of being competitive.

723
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:28,720
I thought it was cool that Misaki is like trying to copy all of Suzuka's moves,

724
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:32,400
but because she's fighting the person who specializes in fighting Suzuka, they all

725
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:32,960
backfire.

726
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:34,000
Yeah, good.

727
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:34,640
That's cool.

728
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:36,240
Stop doing that.

729
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,240
Stop using someone else.

730
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,920
Like you're just an imitation, a pale imitation of Suzuka.

731
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:43,840
Well, that's probably her weakness, right?

732
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:47,600
Because like when she changes it up, the thing she does is she jumps super high in the air

733
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:49,120
in the same way that like Athena does.

734
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:55,440
But instead of shooting energy ball, she just kicks her because she can't shoot an energy ball,

735
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:56,400
which is pretty funny.

736
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,040
What is the speed at which these dolls are falling?

737
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:03,840
You would think that's enough time to dodge like from going up high to falling down and

738
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:04,240
kicking.

739
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:05,520
I feel like you could dodge it.

740
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:08,960
Yeah, but I think Matt was also in the air and you can't dodge when you're in the air.

741
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:10,240
OK, I guess.

742
00:34:10,240 --> 00:34:17,440
Wait, there's a part where Shuko is watching from outside on the big screen and she's like

743
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:19,040
cheering for Misaki.

744
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:24,560
And I just made a note like if you don't want to see your daughter, don't cheer for her to

745
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,760
win because that's just going to be the inevitable outcome.

746
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:29,840
If she keeps winning is you're going to see her.

747
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:31,840
Yeah, that's what Shuko says out loud.

748
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:35,600
Yeah, Shuko, you make your weird.

749
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:40,080
Yeah, I understand less of Shuko's role now than I did at the beginning of the show.

750
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:44,880
And like I don't understand like what's that conversation she has with Ichon where Ichon's

751
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:46,400
like, oh, you're so reckless.

752
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:47,280
Go rest up.

753
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:48,880
Like how is she reckless?

754
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:52,000
Like why are you I don't understand what these people's motivations are.

755
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:53,040
I don't understand what's going on.

756
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:54,880
I mean, OK, she's going to die.

757
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:56,400
Well, here's the thing.

758
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,360
She OK, you don't want to exert herself so much.

759
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,160
Why is she the only person you're using to test these things?

760
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:06,560
Like, because if you have alternatives that could, you know, they could take turns doing

761
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:09,760
this strenuous thing rather than one person only.

762
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:11,760
Yeah, well, apparently Ojiro can't his own brother.

763
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:12,480
Apparently he can't.

764
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:13,840
Yeah, what is that?

765
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:14,720
Is this in the play?

766
00:35:14,720 --> 00:35:15,280
I don't know.

767
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:16,400
It should be able to.

768
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,000
I don't understand.

769
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:25,440
So yeah, OK, Misaki, I'm getting tired of you doing the cringy like, oh, is your doll OK?

770
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:26,080
I hope I did.

771
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:26,800
That's what she does.

772
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:27,520
That's what she is.

773
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:34,400
And that's how you know she's nice because she asked if the doll is OK after the match.

774
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:35,600
It's a doll.

775
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:37,600
Oh, God.

776
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:43,840
Obviously, I did not form special bonds with dolls as a small child.

777
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:45,920
Yeah, but this is like her whole deal also.

778
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:50,800
I guess this is like what makes her good angelic layers that she bonds with her.

779
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:54,160
I realized that she had like nothing.

780
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:55,840
What she do with her time before.

781
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:59,600
She moved to Tokyo by herself where she knew nobody.

782
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:03,200
Oh, that's a first-interesting thing to do in her life.

783
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:04,640
She's in middle school.

784
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:05,440
What do you want?

785
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:06,640
I don't.

786
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:07,680
Interests.

787
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:09,040
Have interests.

788
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:12,240
You're still an individual even if you're a kid.

789
00:36:12,240 --> 00:36:13,760
You still have things you like.

790
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:14,240
She does.

791
00:36:14,240 --> 00:36:15,600
She likes angelic layer.

792
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:19,040
Now, by just saying 12 years of no.

793
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:20,640
She lived in the countryside.

794
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:21,440
She never did anything to do.

795
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:23,040
She lived with her grandparents.

796
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:24,000
I don't know.

797
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:25,200
Hospice care.

798
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:27,200
She loves hospice care.

799
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,200
Yeah.

800
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:35,200
Do you think Misaki realizes that the device was there?

801
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:43,200
Because like, not a good like pulls it off and it's like, oh, there was some lint and it's like the biggest no cell ever.

802
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,200
And she just walks away.

803
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:49,200
But like Misaki knows that there's something delaying that thing.

804
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:51,200
She's just never going to question again that there's something wrong.

805
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:55,200
I was going to say if she doesn't know, then is she going to be worried that that's going to keep happening?

806
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:57,200
He car is defective?

807
00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:59,200
No, it doesn't get.

808
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,200
She doesn't think that deeply. I don't think.

809
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:05,200
I mean, it doesn't get commented on, but I feel like she has to know something was weird because then it resolves.

810
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,200
Well, they should get in trouble.

811
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:11,200
They should be banned from competing for several years.

812
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:13,200
Suspended.

813
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:15,200
This is why Ojira wouldn't handled it.

814
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:17,200
It's like, you can resolve this peacefully.

815
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:19,200
I mean, Misaki wouldn't want that.

816
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,200
You can't care? There's rules.

817
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:23,200
There's rules.

818
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:25,200
You must be punished for breaking.

819
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:27,200
She should be able to make quantum interference devices.

820
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:29,200
Yeah, that's true. What up with that?

821
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:33,200
How does she have access to that technology? What's going on?

822
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:39,200
See, if this is the longer running show, there'd be some mysterious character who had given them that thing

823
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:43,200
and that they were pulling the evil strings from behind them.

824
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,200
That would suck.

825
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:47,200
Like Naraki from Inuyashita or something.

826
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:49,200
There's evil all on their own.

827
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:53,200
Let's see. My next note is when Misaki is in the...

828
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:55,200
They're getting introduced as the semi-finalists.

829
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:59,200
Finally, the peanut gallery has met her.

830
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:01,200
Yeah, they're all here. It's very funny.

831
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:05,200
Misaki, Kaede and Sai walk up and Misaki is like,

832
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:07,200
Oh, you're whatever is Angel's Day.

833
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:13,200
She remembers the Angel's names and doesn't remember the day's names, which is very funny.

834
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:15,200
I mean, easier to remember, I guess.

835
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:20,200
That's true. I always refer to Athena by Athena and not Shuko.

836
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,200
I refer to Athena before Shuko.

837
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:28,200
Yeah, Sai, I already gushed about how cool she is, but I said she's too cool for school.

838
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:33,200
Like, take that school uniform off. You're too cool for it. You're too cool for a school uniform.

839
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:36,200
My note is that Sai can be Misaki's mom.

840
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:41,200
She can. She's being nicer than Misaki's actual mom is to her.

841
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:47,200
You think she'd be like icy, abrasive, put up a wall, but she's not.

842
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:50,200
She's like holding hands. She's so freaking cool.

843
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:55,200
She does turn to her after Misaki's like, Thanks for helping me out.

844
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:57,200
Thanks for helping me get on my nerves for coming out here.

845
00:38:57,200 --> 00:39:02,200
And she's like, Yeah, I hope to face you when you figured out your one true weakness.

846
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:03,200
Sabotage.

847
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:04,200
That does not elaborate.

848
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:05,200
Sabotage.

849
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:07,200
Misaki's like, What the heck are you talking about?

850
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:08,200
Oh boy.

851
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:15,200
Yeah, and then, yeah, and then I can't remember because, you know, I have seen the show, but I can't remember what it is.

852
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:20,200
I feel like it's just more of a broad thing than a super specific thing.

853
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:21,200
I don't know.

854
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:24,200
Well, because Misaki next episode is going to be very like, Oh, it's because I'm small.

855
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:25,200
Yeah.

856
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:27,200
Because I'm tiny, obviously.

857
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:30,200
I mean, it's we're talking about he cars weakness, not yours.

858
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:33,200
You've already proven that size doesn't matter.

859
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:35,200
I don't, I mean, we'll see.

860
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:36,200
I don't remember.

861
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,200
God, I can't wait.

862
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:40,200
Well, we'll get into it after episode 12.

863
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:43,200
I'm like, I am ready for more action.

864
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:47,200
You can get so intense and awesome from here.

865
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:49,200
Well, bad news about next episode because.

866
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:50,200
I know.

867
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:52,200
Get that out of normal.

868
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:53,200
I'm like, Yeah, I wrote me a thing.

869
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:54,200
No, get that out of here.

870
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:55,200
Back to the fighting.

871
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:56,200
All right.

872
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:58,200
Maybe I should go on this on the summary.

873
00:39:58,200 --> 00:39:59,200
Yeah.

874
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:02,200
Angelic layer episode 12 is titled Misaki and Kataru.

875
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:04,200
The two is exciting date.

876
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:05,200
Ooh.

877
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:06,200
What a transition.

878
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:07,200
What a transition.

879
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:08,200
We're getting here.

880
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:10,200
It's the morning and Misaki gets out of bed.

881
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:11,200
Choco left early today.

882
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:15,200
So Misaki starts vacuuming alone with the oldest looking vacuum cleaner I've ever seen.

883
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:17,200
I have a vacuum like that.

884
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:18,200
I have one.

885
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:19,200
You do?

886
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:20,200
Yeah.

887
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:22,200
My grandma gave it to me.

888
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:27,200
On TV and ad for angelic layer comes on featuring the angel Athena.

889
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:30,200
Misaki is hyped because she hasn't seen anything from Athena in a while.

890
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:34,200
And then she realizes she's going to be late to school on the OP plays after we cut to

891
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:37,200
Choco and Athena trying out the prototype headgear again.

892
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:41,200
Athena is jumping on some polygons while Ichon and the team watch.

893
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:45,200
Ogata is impressed that Choco is able to keep testing day after day, which annoys Ichon.

894
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:49,200
And he demands that Ogata get some tea and cushions for them to sit on while they take

895
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:50,200
a break.

896
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:54,200
And if he doesn't, he'll have to wear a kimono and Ichon will be his arms as a punishment.

897
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:56,200
Choco asserts that she doesn't need to take a break.

898
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:59,200
And if they don't hurry the testing, they won't be able to roll out the prototype in

899
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:00,200
time for the finals.

900
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:03,200
But before she can finish making her case, she passes out from the stress.

901
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:04,200
Incredible work Choco.

902
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:06,200
Not backing up your words.

903
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:07,200
I'm fine.

904
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:08,200
Passes out.

905
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:10,200
Immediately goes back on that.

906
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:14,200
In the hospital, Ichon complains to a bed ridden Choco that she shouldn't push herself

907
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:15,700
like that in front of him.

908
00:41:15,700 --> 00:41:19,200
She apologizes but says she wants to do as much as she can for angelic layer.

909
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:21,200
And Misaki, which doesn't make sense.

910
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:23,200
And also Ichon does not reply to this.

911
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:27,200
Back in the control room, Ogata is doing his punishment with his co-worker Inada.

912
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:30,200
But Ogata gets to be the arms and everybody has a fun time.

913
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:34,200
Back in school, the girls are playing volleyball and Misaki accidentally nails Tameo in the

914
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:35,200
face with it.

915
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:40,200
After the game, Misaki tells Tameo that about what Sai said about her weakness, but Tameo

916
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:42,200
says that she's probably just messing with her.

917
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:46,200
We cut to an angelic layer practice arena where Misaki is running tests with Ikaru.

918
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:49,200
Her test results are good and she's bummed she can't figure out what her weakness is.

919
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:51,200
She runs into Kataru and Hotoko.

920
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:54,200
Kataru explains that he's taking Hotoko shopping and Misaki says that's very kind of him.

921
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:58,200
Hotoko comments that sometimes the kind one will only ever just be a friend because

922
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:00,200
she's stone cold.

923
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:02,200
And then she decides that she wants to run some tests too.

924
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:06,200
Hotoko aces all of her tests and Misaki wonders how she can be in the semi-files with somebody

925
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:07,200
so talented.

926
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:11,200
Hotoko says that Misaki and Ikaru have something that can't be measured in numbers, so it's

927
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:12,200
all good.

928
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:14,200
Misaki realizes the time and rushes home.

929
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:19,200
Hotoko tells Kataru that maybe Misaki looked kind of down and maybe it's a good idea to

930
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:21,200
go ask her on a date, which makes him blush.

931
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:24,200
While rushing home, Misaki buys some sake and food for Shoko.

932
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:28,200
The store clerk asks her if she's in elementary school which bums Misaki out.

933
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:32,200
She wonders if maybe Hikaru's weakness is being small, just like how Misaki is small

934
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:33,200
in real life.

935
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:36,200
While she's thinking this over, Kataru runs up and asks her if she's feeling down.

936
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:40,200
We cut to Misaki and Kataru at the park, and Misaki tells him about Hikaru's mysterious

937
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:41,200
weak point.

938
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:44,200
Kataru doesn't have an answer for her, but he offers to show her some of his karate

939
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:48,200
moves tomorrow, and maybe she can use some of those moves in her next match.

940
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:50,200
Misaki thanks him by grabbing his hands and they get all blushy.

941
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:53,200
The scene ends and we cut to the next morning where Misaki is making a ton of food.

942
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:58,200
Shoko walks in and Misaki tells her about her date with Kataru, and Shoko teases her about it.

943
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:03,200
We meet up with Kataru at the park and they eat, like, three box lunches that Misaki made.

944
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:07,200
Afterward, Kataru brings Misaki to the karate dojo he goes to, which turns out is also the

945
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:09,200
dojo that his family owns.

946
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:11,200
It's closed today so they have it all to themselves.

947
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:15,200
Kataru goes to change and Misaki thinks about how she really needs to watch him very closely

948
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:16,200
so she can remember the moves.

949
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:20,200
Then we get, like, a montage of him doing a bunch of, like, judo moves.

950
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:21,200
Misaki is very impressed.

951
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:26,200
Kataru explains that he can improve by maximizing his effect while minimizing his movement.

952
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:29,200
Misaki asks if even small people can learn to fight like that, and he says yes.

953
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:33,200
Misaki is feeling a lot better and Kataru decides that now is the time to ask her out for real.

954
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:37,200
But before he can, Tamio randomly shows up and knocks him out.

955
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:41,200
Misaki is very impressed with Tamio's knockout move and asks to see it again.

956
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:43,200
Time passes and it starts raining.

957
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:49,200
Misaki panics because she's left her laundry outside to dry and rushes home, but she actually leaves her lunchbox at the dojo.

958
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:54,200
Tamio offers to bring it back, but Kataru stops her because he wants to do it, because this is supposed to be his date.

959
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:59,200
This leads to them getting into some kind of, like, awkward embrace slash grapple,

960
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:05,200
and Tamio starts, like, stoically talking about how Misaki is cute and straightforward and good at cooking

961
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:09,200
as if she's, like, secretly very jealous, which surprises Kataru,

962
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:14,200
but then she turns this into a goofy takedown saying that he'll have to get through her to get to Misaki, so...

963
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:15,200
Hmm.

964
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:18,200
Misaki gets caught in the downpour and has to shelter at the park.

965
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:20,200
While waiting, Ojiro shows up with an umbrella.

966
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:24,200
He says it's a nice day and the rain stops and the sun comes out.

967
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:29,200
Then he tells her that he heard about a new system for Angelic Layer that's going to be revealed at the finals.

968
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:30,200
That might change the game.

969
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:33,200
Then he says he's looking forward to her next match and walks away,

970
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:36,200
and it's revealed as he walks away that he was carrying two umbrellas,

971
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:40,200
one in his hand and one behind his back, as we cut to credits.

972
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:42,200
Well, there's a lot that happened.

973
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:44,200
This episode has a, like, despite...

974
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:49,200
The episodes where there isn't just a big fight montage and I can't just be like, the match continues.

975
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:51,200
There's a lot of stuff I gotta talk about.

976
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:53,200
Yeah, well, all the different scenes, right?

977
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:56,200
Because we have the Misaki perspective.

978
00:44:56,200 --> 00:45:03,200
We've got the Hitoko and Kotaro perspective and the, you know, the camera room,

979
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:09,200
like, monitor room with Ichon and them, and then, like, Mom, Shuko.

980
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:15,200
There's a bunch of different characters that we're kind of seeing their perspective of what's happening that we have to cut.

981
00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:17,200
We check in with a lot of people.

982
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:18,200
Yes.

983
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:23,200
So you said the co-worker, Ogata and Inata, is that right?

984
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:26,200
I believe so.

985
00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:28,200
That's gotta be confusing.

986
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:30,200
It's just like Shuko Shoko.

987
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:32,200
Inata, it's Inata and Ogata.

988
00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:34,200
Hinata or Inata.

989
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:38,200
Like, I, Inata and Ogata.

990
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:40,200
Okay, gotcha.

991
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:42,200
Lots of hands.

992
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:43,200
Yes.

993
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:52,200
Tamayo getting, you know, knocked with the ball and then Kotaro immediately also getting hit with the ball, maybe.

994
00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:53,200
Oh, yeah.

995
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:55,200
That was pretty funny.

996
00:45:55,200 --> 00:46:02,200
Yeah, because Misaki hits the volleyball directly into Tamayo's face and then Kotaro's like, oh my god, are you okay?

997
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:06,200
And then he gets, you know, the same, like, treatment with the soccer ball.

998
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:08,200
It's how we like, it's nailing the face so hard.

999
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:10,200
Where are you for yourself, my dude?

1000
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:12,200
How are you just nailing so hard on the cheek?

1001
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:14,200
Ass is out, yeah.

1002
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:16,200
Yeah.

1003
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:17,200
Are we?

1004
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:25,200
Okay, so the part where they're testing the system of the new system, like Shoko's testing it and like, you can just jump in got a bunch of polygons.

1005
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:28,200
Is the whole system like projecting a landscape?

1006
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:30,200
Is that what it is?

1007
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:31,200
It has to do with the landscape.

1008
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:32,200
Because that's what it looks like.

1009
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:33,200
Yes.

1010
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:38,200
Because normally when they fight in the layer, it's just like a flat ground.

1011
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:44,200
But Athena was jumping on like some video game-ass polygon map.

1012
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:47,200
So I guess they're adding like terrain.

1013
00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:48,200
Yeah.

1014
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:49,200
Well, yeah, I could see it.

1015
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:57,200
Well, although with terrain comes, how are you going to get all the angles if there's, you know, like everyone's not going to be able to see something if they're behind a big rock or something.

1016
00:46:57,200 --> 00:46:59,200
Oh yeah, the perspective matters, right?

1017
00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:00,200
Yeah.

1018
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:01,200
It has to be like symmetrical.

1019
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:02,200
Something, yeah.

1020
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:07,200
I'm like, we don't see cameras, but they've got to be there somewhere.

1021
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:09,200
Yeah, well at the tournament, they're like elevated.

1022
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:10,200
Yeah.

1023
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:11,200
Like the chairs are lifted up.

1024
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:17,200
Like in the, when they're practicing, they're all at like the same level, but in the tournament, they're like above everything.

1025
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:19,200
So maybe they look down into it.

1026
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:20,200
She, okay.

1027
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:27,200
So what after she's at Pistole Princess and, you know, she takes off.

1028
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:28,200
She does some tests.

1029
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:29,200
Yeah.

1030
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:35,200
And then she's like, a toko, but, you know, wing woman, she's, she's there for you.

1031
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:36,200
She just like, Saki.

1032
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:38,200
Well, she's like, go get her, bro.

1033
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:39,200
I'm like, okay.

1034
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:42,200
At first she's like, Oh, you're going to get friend zones so hard.

1035
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:44,200
She's like, Oh, she called you nice.

1036
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:50,200
Your friend zone so bad, my dude.

1037
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:55,200
And that same kind of progression of plot.

1038
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:58,200
Misaki is running and as she's running, she's like, what should I get for dinner?

1039
00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:00,200
It should be something that goes well with Saki.

1040
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:02,200
Cause that's what you like.

1041
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:04,200
So I'm like, you're 12.

1042
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:06,200
He's like, yeah, my hands going to drink a lot.

1043
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:08,200
So, oh my God.

1044
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:11,200
You shouldn't know what goes well with that.

1045
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:12,200
Like what the heck.

1046
00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:14,200
But I have another note for Shoko.

1047
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:18,200
It's really, I was going to say, I guess it's just the Japanese of culture.

1048
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:25,200
Like they're very much more widely common drinking, you know, cause they don't have to drive themselves home.

1049
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:29,200
So most people like grab a drink after work.

1050
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:30,200
Yeah.

1051
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:32,200
I guess just.

1052
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:33,200
Listen, Shoko drinks.

1053
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:34,200
We know this.

1054
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:36,200
This is what we love about her.

1055
00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:38,200
She's cracking open a beer.

1056
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:39,200
It's great.

1057
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:40,200
Yeah.

1058
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:41,200
That's why she's great.

1059
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:43,200
I have a comment that hot.

1060
00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:46,200
Oh, like we get casual outfits for everybody.

1061
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:47,200
Yeah.

1062
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:49,200
Which we haven't gotten for a while.

1063
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:50,200
Yeah.

1064
00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:52,200
Although I really feel like hot.

1065
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:53,200
I go needs a hat.

1066
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:55,200
Yes, I know it's weird.

1067
00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:57,200
She's here without it.

1068
00:48:57,200 --> 00:48:58,200
Yeah, she just has.

1069
00:48:58,200 --> 00:48:59,200
She just doesn't have a hat.

1070
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:01,200
And I'm like, you need a hat.

1071
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:03,200
Throw on a hat.

1072
00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:07,200
Oh, how hot I could she wear a cowboy hat.

1073
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:08,200
That would be good.

1074
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:10,200
Well, aviators and I agree with more of a bad.

1075
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:12,200
Oh my God.

1076
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:16,200
We're aviators.

1077
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:21,200
Oh, she could be like the freaking sergeant apocalypse now or whatever.

1078
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:22,200
Yeah.

1079
00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:25,200
Oh, that'd be great.

1080
00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:26,200
Um, okay.

1081
00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:28,200
Misaki, I guess.

1082
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:31,200
Well, now I've answered my own question before she was obsessed with

1083
00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:35,200
and Jocelyn, she was just obsessed with how tiny she is.

1084
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:38,200
All she can think about is how small she is.

1085
00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:41,200
The guy selling her sashimi is like, oh, what are you like a third grade?

1086
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:44,200
And she's like, oh, she just runs away.

1087
00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:45,200
She doesn't buy it.

1088
00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:46,200
She just leaves.

1089
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:47,200
Oh man.

1090
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:49,200
Hit her where it hurts.

1091
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:55,200
Um, she's pretty forward with the, let's see.

1092
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:59,200
I feel like when they're having lunch, her and Kotaro, she's pretty forward.

1093
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:04,200
Um, she like puts her hands on his hands and stuff when passing the lunchbox.

1094
00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:07,200
And okay, she's forward, but this seems like an accident.

1095
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:09,200
She's like, she's like not trying to do this on purpose.

1096
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:13,200
No, but she's also delayed awareness of things.

1097
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:14,200
Yeah.

1098
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:15,200
Okay.

1099
00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:18,200
I have a note like when they first talk in the park before they set up the date.

1100
00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:22,200
Um, Kotaro stands up and he's like, yeah, I don't know what the car is weaknesses,

1101
00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:27,200
but like maybe you can see my judo sometimes and he like walks over to some birds and then

1102
00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:32,200
Misaki walks up to some birds and she like kneels down and she's going to pet the birds

1103
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:33,200
and they fly away.

1104
00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:36,200
Are you going to pet those birds Misaki?

1105
00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:37,200
What are you doing?

1106
00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:39,200
Yeah, that's probably not advisable.

1107
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:42,200
Why was she going to try to pet those birds?

1108
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:44,200
Oh no, I don't know.

1109
00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:47,200
Um, I used to just want to stare at them.

1110
00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:48,200
Okay.

1111
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:51,200
But then they set up a date and then, and then it's the next morning and I have the most

1112
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:52,200
unhinged note.

1113
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:53,200
Okay.

1114
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:54,200
You, you referenced this.

1115
00:50:54,200 --> 00:50:57,200
I think Shoko says, I sent you a message about this.

1116
00:50:57,200 --> 00:50:58,200
Okay.

1117
00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:02,200
So in the morning, like Misaki's making like a shit ton of food to like bring on her like

1118
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:05,200
they call it a date.

1119
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:06,200
It's not really a date.

1120
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:07,200
Meetup.

1121
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:08,200
Yeah.

1122
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:12,200
The meetup and Shoko is like, or she's like, oh yeah, I'm going to like meet up with Katara

1123
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:14,200
at the park and Shoko is like, oh Katara.

1124
00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:18,200
Oh, that boy who was given a gyaku evi by the girl in the layer.

1125
00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:19,200
Right.

1126
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:21,200
But look to some, because Misaki makes a joke.

1127
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:23,200
Misaki's like, oh, what is that?

1128
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:25,200
Isn't that like a, like a way to fry shrimp or something?

1129
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:28,200
And then Shoko like hugs her and is like, oh, that, there it is innocent.

1130
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:30,200
Misaki, we love that.

1131
00:51:30,200 --> 00:51:31,200
Oh God.

1132
00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:32,200
What is it?

1133
00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:33,200
It's two things.

1134
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:37,200
First, a gyaku evi is like some kind of judo move.

1135
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:38,200
Like it's called like a shrimp move.

1136
00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:39,200
Right.

1137
00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:41,200
I was going to say evi that is shrimp.

1138
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:42,200
Yeah.

1139
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:45,200
It's a like a judo move to break out of a hold, I guess.

1140
00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:47,200
And it was kind of hard to look this up.

1141
00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:49,200
That's one thing that it is.

1142
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:55,200
The other thing that it is is a like specific pattern in Shibari.

1143
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:57,200
Like the rope bondage.

1144
00:51:57,200 --> 00:51:58,200
Oh dear.

1145
00:51:58,200 --> 00:51:59,200
Yep.

1146
00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:00,200
Yep.

1147
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:01,200
Oh.

1148
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:02,200
Where you like tie people's arms behind their back.

1149
00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:06,200
And it kind of feels to me like maybe that's the thing Shoko's talking about.

1150
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:07,200
Oh dear.

1151
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:08,200
That's probably it.

1152
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:12,200
Shoko's going to know like this weird judo break out of a hold move.

1153
00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:14,200
And I'm like Shoko, why are you talking about bonding?

1154
00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:17,200
Why do you know a specific bondage pattern?

1155
00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:18,200
Oh, she's freaky.

1156
00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:19,200
She's not a parent.

1157
00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:20,200
Oh man.

1158
00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:21,200
The thing is.

1159
00:52:21,200 --> 00:52:22,200
Hell yeah.

1160
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:23,200
Get it Shoko.

1161
00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:24,200
Get an age Shoko.

1162
00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:25,200
Well.

1163
00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:28,200
Talk to your niece about this.

1164
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:29,200
Yeah.

1165
00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:30,200
She doesn't know what it is.

1166
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:32,200
And you're like, oh, how cute, how innocent you are.

1167
00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:33,200
Shoko, what are you up to?

1168
00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:34,200
Yeah.

1169
00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:36,200
Of course you shouldn't know what that is at the age of 12.

1170
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:38,200
Yeah.

1171
00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:41,200
When in Western stuff, there's jokes that go over kids heads,

1172
00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:45,200
but not that explicitly referring to it as more vague in new

1173
00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:48,200
endos, but that's just straight to now.

1174
00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:52,200
That just makes you think of that documentary about army hammer

1175
00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:54,200
because he was into that.

1176
00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:56,200
Shabari thing.

1177
00:52:56,200 --> 00:53:00,200
It's just, I looked, I'm like, I have to look this up.

1178
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:03,200
And then I, the first thing I got was like the bondage thing.

1179
00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:06,200
And I'm like, whoa.

1180
00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:09,200
But then I got like some YouTube video for like judo exercises.

1181
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:11,200
I'm like, okay, maybe it's this.

1182
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:13,200
I don't know.

1183
00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:14,200
I have no idea.

1184
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:16,200
You didn't know what you're getting yourself into.

1185
00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:18,200
Google will now remember that you look that up.

1186
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:23,200
It seems more likely to me that Shoko knows about Shabari than

1187
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:25,200
about judo.

1188
00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:27,200
Just based on what we know about.

1189
00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:28,200
100%.

1190
00:53:28,200 --> 00:53:30,200
It's Shoko's wild.

1191
00:53:30,200 --> 00:53:33,200
See, that's why I'm saying she's got this 12 year old at her

1192
00:53:33,200 --> 00:53:35,200
bachelor pad now.

1193
00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:39,200
So maybe that's what the extra bedroom she had was for.

1194
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:42,200
This was my rope room.

1195
00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:44,200
Oh God.

1196
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:45,200
Yeah.

1197
00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:46,200
What?

1198
00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:47,200
What a wild joke.

1199
00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:48,200
Wild.

1200
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:50,200
Oh God.

1201
00:53:50,200 --> 00:53:53,200
Anyway, Masaki goes on this date and she's like, oh, we should like

1202
00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:56,200
eat at the park and she just sits there and watches Katara eat.

1203
00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:57,200
She doesn't eat anything.

1204
00:53:57,200 --> 00:53:58,200
What's happening?

1205
00:53:58,200 --> 00:53:59,200
What's up with that?

1206
00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:00,200
What is it?

1207
00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:01,200
Oh my God.

1208
00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:04,200
I'm sure she eats at, but she's like trying to like gauge his

1209
00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:05,200
opinion of it.

1210
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:08,200
But it just literally, she's just sitting there watching him eat

1211
00:54:08,200 --> 00:54:09,200
for like a minute.

1212
00:54:09,200 --> 00:54:10,200
Yeah.

1213
00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:12,200
She's very intently watching him.

1214
00:54:12,200 --> 00:54:17,200
Like when he's doing his little judo stuff, she's staring at him.

1215
00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:20,200
So I feel so self conscious if I was him.

1216
00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:21,200
Like I feel stupid.

1217
00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:25,200
Like I'm just punching in the air at nothing.

1218
00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:29,200
It's so funny to me that like his version of having a date is like, hey,

1219
00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:31,200
want to go see my cool judo moves?

1220
00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:37,200
It turns out Masaki is like super into it.

1221
00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:38,200
Yeah, she is.

1222
00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:42,200
It's like a subtle way for him to be like, look at this giant place

1223
00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:43,200
my family owns.

1224
00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:44,200
I'm rich.

1225
00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:45,200
Like, look at me.

1226
00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:47,200
I'm a big deal.

1227
00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:51,200
They have a huge property.

1228
00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:55,200
And this is probably where Hotoko gets all her fighting knowledge

1229
00:54:55,200 --> 00:54:57,200
from her family runs a jupe suit.

1230
00:54:57,200 --> 00:54:59,200
That's probably that's probably true.

1231
00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:01,200
But she's not doing judo.

1232
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:03,200
Like Susaka is not doing judo moves.

1233
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:05,200
She does like throwing and stuff.

1234
00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:06,200
Yeah.

1235
00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:07,200
Oh God.

1236
00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:09,200
Susaka is so cool.

1237
00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:13,200
I feel like I feel like Hotoko is just watching like martial arts

1238
00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:14,200
movies or something.

1239
00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:15,200
Yeah.

1240
00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:18,200
Or anime and she's just recreating all the same things that can't be

1241
00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:21,200
in real life, but she now can with.

1242
00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:24,200
She did make it like a sexy ninja doll as a four year old.

1243
00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:25,200
That's true.

1244
00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:31,200
She's been influenced by adult media.

1245
00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:32,200
Yeah.

1246
00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:34,200
I bet she's like a cinephile.

1247
00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:37,200
That's my head cannon for Hotoko.

1248
00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:43,200
She's just like watching like AFI's top 100 movies.

1249
00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:46,200
She's like watching all the Kirikura Sawa movies.

1250
00:55:46,200 --> 00:55:48,200
She's like hell yeah.

1251
00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:49,200
Samurai movies rule.

1252
00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:51,200
I'm four.

1253
00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:56,200
So what did you think of the Tamayo thing?

1254
00:55:56,200 --> 00:55:57,200
Okay.

1255
00:55:57,200 --> 00:55:58,200
What's going on here?

1256
00:55:58,200 --> 00:55:59,200
Okay.

1257
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:01,200
First off, it's very funny when she shows up and then she knocks

1258
00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:04,200
Katara out and then Misaki is immediately like, oh, that's a

1259
00:56:04,200 --> 00:56:05,200
good takedown.

1260
00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:07,200
Can you show me that takedown a couple more times?

1261
00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:09,200
Like she doesn't care at all.

1262
00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:12,200
That Misaki like that the date is over.

1263
00:56:12,200 --> 00:56:13,200
I don't.

1264
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:15,200
This is why I'm saying that like I don't know if she really

1265
00:56:15,200 --> 00:56:16,200
did a date.

1266
00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:17,200
No.

1267
00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:18,200
Misaki.

1268
00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:19,200
Okay.

1269
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:20,200
She just doesn't care that Tamayo shows up.

1270
00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:24,200
I think maybe Katara likes her, but she's only nervous because

1271
00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:28,200
it's her, you know, like talking with a boy who's not family is a

1272
00:56:28,200 --> 00:56:33,200
thing to be embarrassed about not because it's him in particular.

1273
00:56:33,200 --> 00:56:34,200
Yeah.

1274
00:56:34,200 --> 00:56:37,200
She's just kind of nervous to talk to everyone, even like

1275
00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:38,200
signing stuff.

1276
00:56:38,200 --> 00:56:40,200
Well, I mean, she's still this.

1277
00:56:40,200 --> 00:56:43,200
I mean, she's she's the shelter girl who's like, oh, Hotoko

1278
00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:48,200
referenced kissing how scandalous and it was like, what?

1279
00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:53,200
She's over here watching all these, all these samurai movies, dude.

1280
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:54,200
That's right.

1281
00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:56,200
She's watching Kill Bill over there.

1282
00:56:56,200 --> 00:57:00,200
She's watching Kill Bill.

1283
00:57:00,200 --> 00:57:02,200
Gonna hear Misaki's hot or not.

1284
00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:07,200
I didn't hear Hotoko's hot takes about pulp fiction or whatever.

1285
00:57:07,200 --> 00:57:08,200
Oh dear.

1286
00:57:08,200 --> 00:57:09,200
Okay.

1287
00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:12,200
But yeah, Tamayo, what do you think?

1288
00:57:12,200 --> 00:57:14,200
What is this implying?

1289
00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:18,200
It's well, obviously it's I mean, it's implying that she likes him,

1290
00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:19,200
right?

1291
00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:21,200
That Tamayo likes Katara.

1292
00:57:21,200 --> 00:57:22,200
Yeah.

1293
00:57:22,200 --> 00:57:26,200
Which feels it's kind of the opposite where like typically a boy

1294
00:57:26,200 --> 00:57:29,200
picks on a girl as kids is the sign of liking them.

1295
00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:33,200
But Tamayo just being a shit of Katara is her way of flirting.

1296
00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:35,200
This is what you said you did earlier, right?

1297
00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:36,200
Well, I don't know.

1298
00:57:36,200 --> 00:57:39,200
Well, it's more like embarrassment.

1299
00:57:39,200 --> 00:57:43,200
Like some boy, I think I had like a grungy gym shirt that had a hole in

1300
00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:45,200
the armpit and he's like, oh, I like that.

1301
00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:47,200
And then I like kicked him in the shin.

1302
00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:51,200
I was like, got to talk to me about stuff like that.

1303
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:52,200
That's not flirting.

1304
00:57:52,200 --> 00:57:53,200
All right.

1305
00:57:53,200 --> 00:57:54,200
I don't know.

1306
00:57:54,200 --> 00:57:59,200
One boy tried to play footsie with me at driving or yeah, driving

1307
00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:02,200
and I just stomped on his foot.

1308
00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:03,200
Okay.

1309
00:58:03,200 --> 00:58:04,200
So you're like 16.

1310
00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:06,200
This is like you're in like late teams.

1311
00:58:06,200 --> 00:58:07,200
Okay.

1312
00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:08,200
Yeah.

1313
00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:09,200
So someone tried to play footsie.

1314
00:58:09,200 --> 00:58:11,200
I just stomped on their foot.

1315
00:58:11,200 --> 00:58:15,200
That's my how I respond to physical initiation.

1316
00:58:15,200 --> 00:58:17,200
This is not like this.

1317
00:58:17,200 --> 00:58:18,200
All right.

1318
00:58:18,200 --> 00:58:19,200
Yeah.

1319
00:58:19,200 --> 00:58:24,200
So yeah, I actually, but the thing is like she transitioned it so quickly into like

1320
00:58:24,200 --> 00:58:25,200
a joke.

1321
00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:26,200
Yes.

1322
00:58:26,200 --> 00:58:28,200
Well, that's what their relationship is.

1323
00:58:28,200 --> 00:58:29,200
Right.

1324
00:58:29,200 --> 00:58:32,200
And it's like, oh, he's going to get weirded out if I'm all serious all of a sudden.

1325
00:58:32,200 --> 00:58:35,200
Well, but this, this gets like a, this is like a pretty good gambit by the show.

1326
00:58:35,200 --> 00:58:37,200
I feel like, because the show leaves it kind of ambiguous, right?

1327
00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:41,200
Because Tommy was like such a bit character, like such a comic relief that it's like, this

1328
00:58:41,200 --> 00:58:46,200
could just be like a one-off bit she's doing, or this could be like, oh, she's finally like

1329
00:58:46,200 --> 00:58:49,200
showing her emotions about a thing and then backs off of it because she feels awkward

1330
00:58:49,200 --> 00:58:50,200
about it.

1331
00:58:50,200 --> 00:58:51,200
Yeah.

1332
00:58:51,200 --> 00:58:55,200
Well, cause she's in the past said like, oh, Masaki should be my wife, but I guess she's

1333
00:58:55,200 --> 00:58:59,200
just essentially in her mind building Masaki up to be this, you know, ultra feminine, like

1334
00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:03,200
what you expect a girl to be, which is so different from her.

1335
00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:06,200
And of course that's why Katara likes her because she's so different.

1336
00:59:06,200 --> 00:59:11,200
Well, but I mean, like she, like Masaki is the kind of like ideal feminine wife.

1337
00:59:11,200 --> 00:59:14,200
I mean, this is like Shoko's even like, oh, you're, you'd be like, why don't you be

1338
00:59:14,200 --> 00:59:15,200
my wife?

1339
00:59:15,200 --> 00:59:18,200
Because like, yeah, she cooks, she cleans, she wakes up in the morning and immediately

1340
00:59:18,200 --> 00:59:19,200
starts vacuuming.

1341
00:59:19,200 --> 00:59:24,200
I was like, maybe and Shoko woke up and was like, ooh, is this food for me?

1342
00:59:24,200 --> 00:59:27,200
And Masaki having to be like, keep your hands off it.

1343
00:59:27,200 --> 00:59:28,200
Yeah.

1344
00:59:28,200 --> 00:59:29,200
But like she, she is doing this.

1345
00:59:29,200 --> 00:59:32,200
I mean, this is like, I mean, she's even like shy, intimidated.

1346
00:59:32,200 --> 00:59:36,200
It does kind of like feminine, ideally kind of outspoken.

1347
00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:37,200
Yeah.

1348
00:59:37,200 --> 00:59:40,200
At least like in Japan, I know that that's kind of a demure passive.

1349
00:59:40,200 --> 00:59:41,200
Yeah.

1350
00:59:41,200 --> 00:59:42,200
Like she is all that stuff.

1351
00:59:42,200 --> 00:59:47,200
She kind of is the ideal like passive girlfriend a little bit.

1352
00:59:47,200 --> 00:59:48,200
Yeah.

1353
00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:51,200
That Tamiya was not like a Tamiya was like the opposite of that where she's like big

1354
00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:55,200
and loud and assertive and physical and funny.

1355
00:59:55,200 --> 00:59:56,200
I don't know.

1356
00:59:56,200 --> 00:59:57,200
Yeah.

1357
00:59:57,200 --> 00:59:58,200
She's been very enjoyable.

1358
00:59:58,200 --> 01:00:03,200
This has been very different than any other mode because she's never been serious like

1359
01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:05,200
ever in the show up to this point.

1360
01:00:05,200 --> 01:00:06,200
Right.

1361
01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:07,200
Yeah.

1362
01:00:07,200 --> 01:00:09,200
And I think it's like, it's actually some pretty good ambiguity in terms of like, is

1363
01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:13,200
this the real thing or is this part of a bigger joke that she's kind of doing?

1364
01:00:13,200 --> 01:00:17,200
Well, I could see it being like, okay, if I just like automatically ship them together

1365
01:00:17,200 --> 01:00:22,200
and make it super awkward, then maybe it won't ever come to full fruition.

1366
01:00:22,200 --> 01:00:25,200
Like they will just, that'll just be the running joke.

1367
01:00:25,200 --> 01:00:28,200
And then they'll probably eventually eventually eventually actually be together because that's

1368
01:00:28,200 --> 01:00:30,200
just things like joke up their group.

1369
01:00:30,200 --> 01:00:31,200
All to Tamiya's plans.

1370
01:00:31,200 --> 01:00:32,200
That's good.

1371
01:00:32,200 --> 01:00:35,200
This also feels like the shojo stuff.

1372
01:00:35,200 --> 01:00:36,200
Yeah.

1373
01:00:36,200 --> 01:00:42,200
Like this drama layout where it's like, oh, like this guy likes the main girl, but like

1374
01:00:42,200 --> 01:00:43,200
her friend likes him.

1375
01:00:43,200 --> 01:00:45,200
So there's kind of this weird thing going on.

1376
01:00:45,200 --> 01:00:51,200
That feels a little bit more like a romance drama that you would see more in shojo stuff

1377
01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:52,200
than shonen stuff.

1378
01:00:52,200 --> 01:00:53,200
It's just that.

1379
01:00:53,200 --> 01:00:54,200
Yeah.

1380
01:00:54,200 --> 01:00:55,200
I mean, this is the most blushes.

1381
01:00:55,200 --> 01:00:58,200
We need like a blush counter on this episode.

1382
01:00:58,200 --> 01:01:00,200
So much blushy, blushy action.

1383
01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:02,200
See, I, okay.

1384
01:01:02,200 --> 01:01:07,200
It's when she's staring at him doing the judo, I made a note like she's using that

1385
01:01:07,200 --> 01:01:13,200
shine gun memorized those movements to pull out later.

1386
01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:14,200
Okay.

1387
01:01:14,200 --> 01:01:16,200
And then freaking Ojiro at the end.

1388
01:01:16,200 --> 01:01:18,200
Oh, it's so stupid.

1389
01:01:18,200 --> 01:01:19,200
Tokyo.

1390
01:01:19,200 --> 01:01:23,200
What are the chances you're going to, he's following her.

1391
01:01:23,200 --> 01:01:25,200
There's no way they ran.

1392
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:27,200
Cause you said he had a second umbrella.

1393
01:01:27,200 --> 01:01:29,200
So like, he does have a second umbrella.

1394
01:01:29,200 --> 01:01:31,200
I don't know what to make of that.

1395
01:01:31,200 --> 01:01:34,200
There's no way they organically ran into each other.

1396
01:01:34,200 --> 01:01:35,200
Tokyo is huge.

1397
01:01:35,200 --> 01:01:36,200
It is weird.

1398
01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:37,200
It's weird that that happens.

1399
01:01:37,200 --> 01:01:41,200
It's weird that he has two umbrellas, but when he meets her, he's like, oh, it's a nice

1400
01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:42,200
day.

1401
01:01:42,200 --> 01:01:43,200
Isn't it?

1402
01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:46,200
And then like the sun comes out, like he summoned the end of the rain.

1403
01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:50,200
Like he's magic, but then it turns out that's like, he didn't give her an umbrella when

1404
01:01:50,200 --> 01:01:51,200
he had one.

1405
01:01:51,200 --> 01:01:52,200
Like what's happening?

1406
01:01:52,200 --> 01:01:53,200
I'm not sure what's happening here.

1407
01:01:53,200 --> 01:01:57,200
This is like, he missed his chance to have a romantic moment with her.

1408
01:01:57,200 --> 01:01:58,200
Yeah.

1409
01:01:58,200 --> 01:01:59,200
This is like the romance, right?

1410
01:01:59,200 --> 01:02:00,200
So maybe.

1411
01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:02,200
Because it also seems like he summoned the sun.

1412
01:02:02,200 --> 01:02:04,200
So maybe he sabotaged himself.

1413
01:02:04,200 --> 01:02:09,200
It rains when you're with Kataru, but when I come, it's shiny and bright.

1414
01:02:09,200 --> 01:02:10,200
Yeah.

1415
01:02:10,200 --> 01:02:14,200
Well, it's like Kataru got his, he was going to shoot his shot, but got interrupted by

1416
01:02:14,200 --> 01:02:15,200
Tamiya, right?

1417
01:02:15,200 --> 01:02:16,200
Yeah.

1418
01:02:16,200 --> 01:02:21,200
Like he was sabotaged by somebody else because he is, he exists to get dunked on.

1419
01:02:21,200 --> 01:02:26,200
Well, I think if he hadn't been interrupted, she just would have been like, oh, I don't,

1420
01:02:26,200 --> 01:02:29,200
I don't know, blah, blah, blah, run away and.

1421
01:02:29,200 --> 01:02:30,200
Yeah.

1422
01:02:30,200 --> 01:02:32,200
Then be like, you know, flighty.

1423
01:02:32,200 --> 01:02:35,200
She is not there mentally to have that conversation.

1424
01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:36,200
No, she's not.

1425
01:02:36,200 --> 01:02:37,200
She can't, I can't.

1426
01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:38,200
What are you going to talk about?

1427
01:02:38,200 --> 01:02:42,200
All it's going to be is her cooking you food and then playing angelic layer.

1428
01:02:42,200 --> 01:02:43,200
That's your relationship.

1429
01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:44,200
This is what I said.

1430
01:02:44,200 --> 01:02:45,200
She's the ideal girlfriend.

1431
01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:46,200
Is that right?

1432
01:02:46,200 --> 01:02:48,200
What if a person makes you food and then doesn't do anything?

1433
01:02:48,200 --> 01:02:49,200
No.

1434
01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:51,200
I don't know.

1435
01:02:51,200 --> 01:02:54,200
I'm just saying that like in the like imaginary of like a middle school boy probably.

1436
01:02:54,200 --> 01:02:55,200
I guess.

1437
01:02:55,200 --> 01:02:56,200
I don't know.

1438
01:02:56,200 --> 01:02:57,200
I didn't have any relationships.

1439
01:02:57,200 --> 01:02:58,200
I don't know.

1440
01:02:58,200 --> 01:02:59,200
Middle school.

1441
01:02:59,200 --> 01:03:02,200
I feel like you just only see each other at school and that's the relationship.

1442
01:03:02,200 --> 01:03:05,200
Maybe you eat lunch together and that's it.

1443
01:03:05,200 --> 01:03:09,200
Well, like she doesn't have any like actual deep relationships with anyone like any guy

1444
01:03:09,200 --> 01:03:10,200
is particularly right.

1445
01:03:10,200 --> 01:03:14,200
Like Ojiro is a guy who shows up, says some cryptic shit and then leaves, which is extremely

1446
01:03:14,200 --> 01:03:17,200
funny when he's like, Hey, I heard they're making a new battle system.

1447
01:03:17,200 --> 01:03:21,200
Yeah, she doesn't question how he knows that or yeah.

1448
01:03:21,200 --> 01:03:22,200
Super.

1449
01:03:22,200 --> 01:03:23,200
But like that's all he does.

1450
01:03:23,200 --> 01:03:24,200
Right.

1451
01:03:24,200 --> 01:03:25,200
He shows up.

1452
01:03:25,200 --> 01:03:27,200
He says some like kind of cryptic stuff and then leaves.

1453
01:03:27,200 --> 01:03:28,200
It was really weird.

1454
01:03:28,200 --> 01:03:30,200
It was weird that he was there.

1455
01:03:30,200 --> 01:03:34,200
But like this is, you know, this is the thing I was saying, like in Macross, you understand

1456
01:03:34,200 --> 01:03:35,200
why these characters like each other.

1457
01:03:35,200 --> 01:03:36,200
So it's set to know.

1458
01:03:36,200 --> 01:03:38,200
I don't understand why anybody likes anybody else.

1459
01:03:38,200 --> 01:03:39,200
I do.

1460
01:03:39,200 --> 01:03:41,200
I the only one I feel like I kind of get is Tommy.

1461
01:03:41,200 --> 01:03:45,200
Oh, like I get why she would like guitar because they've been friends for so long.

1462
01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:47,200
They like hang out a lot.

1463
01:03:47,200 --> 01:03:49,200
They have a lot of things in common.

1464
01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:50,200
Yeah.

1465
01:03:50,200 --> 01:03:51,200
They like mess around.

1466
01:03:51,200 --> 01:03:52,200
I get that.

1467
01:03:52,200 --> 01:03:54,200
So again, I, I, I understand that one.

1468
01:03:54,200 --> 01:03:56,200
So I feel like that, I feel like that one should happen.

1469
01:03:56,200 --> 01:03:58,200
I hope things go well for Tom.

1470
01:03:58,200 --> 01:03:59,200
Yeah.

1471
01:03:59,200 --> 01:04:03,200
I feel like that's a common trope and shojo that may you will see later, but like oftentimes

1472
01:04:03,200 --> 01:04:08,200
a girl will have like this crush on maybe a slightly older boy that you grow up being

1473
01:04:08,200 --> 01:04:09,200
close with.

1474
01:04:09,200 --> 01:04:11,200
And he's just the boy you're closest to.

1475
01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:14,200
So you just assume that you have feelings for him.

1476
01:04:14,200 --> 01:04:18,200
But then it's just turns out it's more like familial and then like that opens the door

1477
01:04:18,200 --> 01:04:20,200
for the actual male lead kind of stuff.

1478
01:04:20,200 --> 01:04:23,200
That's a typical plot of a shojo.

1479
01:04:23,200 --> 01:04:24,200
Yeah.

1480
01:04:24,200 --> 01:04:26,200
But I feel like that is the most relatable to like people.

1481
01:04:26,200 --> 01:04:27,200
Yeah.

1482
01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:28,200
Right.

1483
01:04:28,200 --> 01:04:30,200
In terms of like, oh, if you ever had like a friend, you like turned out you thought you

1484
01:04:30,200 --> 01:04:35,200
might be closer to and you're like not sure if you want to pursue that or like how they

1485
01:04:35,200 --> 01:04:36,200
feel about it.

1486
01:04:36,200 --> 01:04:40,200
Like that's a pretty, I think it's a thing a lot of people deal with in their life at

1487
01:04:40,200 --> 01:04:42,200
some point, or they're on the receiving end of that.

1488
01:04:42,200 --> 01:04:44,200
Like this is familiar with it.

1489
01:04:44,200 --> 01:04:49,200
Like it's much more sympathetic than whatever the heck Katara and Misaki have, which is

1490
01:04:49,200 --> 01:04:52,200
just like, what if there is a cute girl and you hung out a couple of times and then I

1491
01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:56,200
guess you're going to ask her out and then she's kind of only into this weird hobby she

1492
01:04:56,200 --> 01:04:57,200
has.

1493
01:04:57,200 --> 01:05:00,200
I mean, I guess it's kind of the way they go about things, right?

1494
01:05:00,200 --> 01:05:06,200
Like in a lot of anime, it's like one person totally oblivious to the other person's existence

1495
01:05:06,200 --> 01:05:07,200
until they get confessed to.

1496
01:05:07,200 --> 01:05:10,200
And then it's like, sure, I'll give it a try dating you.

1497
01:05:10,200 --> 01:05:15,200
Let's get to know each other as we date, not we know each other and then we date.

1498
01:05:15,200 --> 01:05:17,200
It's like kind of a different culture there.

1499
01:05:17,200 --> 01:05:21,200
Like you just immediately just based off of like one person's feelings.

1500
01:05:21,200 --> 01:05:26,200
That's enough to consider being relationships if you're slightly or remotely interested

1501
01:05:26,200 --> 01:05:27,200
in each other.

1502
01:05:27,200 --> 01:05:28,200
Right.

1503
01:05:28,200 --> 01:05:32,200
But like as an audience member, I feel like the Tommy O's thing is much more sympathetic.

1504
01:05:32,200 --> 01:05:33,200
Yeah.

1505
01:05:33,200 --> 01:05:34,200
Yeah.

1506
01:05:34,200 --> 01:05:38,200
Well, then you feel bad because like Katara can only think about Misaki.

1507
01:05:38,200 --> 01:05:42,200
Everyone in the show is just very narrow minded.

1508
01:05:42,200 --> 01:05:44,200
Like everyone has blinders on.

1509
01:05:44,200 --> 01:05:48,200
Like they can't focus on anything but one thing in their life.

1510
01:05:48,200 --> 01:05:49,200
Well, but this is.

1511
01:05:49,200 --> 01:05:51,200
Except each time he can do it all.

1512
01:05:51,200 --> 01:05:52,200
Each time.

1513
01:05:52,200 --> 01:05:53,200
Well, this is yeah, right.

1514
01:05:53,200 --> 01:05:56,200
Because angelic layer is the thing that's like opens up to everything, right?

1515
01:05:56,200 --> 01:05:58,200
It's like, okay, yeah, age and size don't matter.

1516
01:05:58,200 --> 01:06:01,200
Like all these things that you think are important in regular society, like it turns out aren't

1517
01:06:01,200 --> 01:06:06,200
actually a big deal in the constructed world of angelic layer.

1518
01:06:06,200 --> 01:06:11,200
Like this is your access to more freedom in a wider like variety of way of thinking about

1519
01:06:11,200 --> 01:06:12,200
how the world could be.

1520
01:06:12,200 --> 01:06:18,200
But is that like, are they taking those lessons outside of angelic layer and applying them

1521
01:06:18,200 --> 01:06:23,200
to the real world or are they just like using it as an escape, but they're still like thinking

1522
01:06:23,200 --> 01:06:27,200
about their lives as constrained in the real world that they don't in angelic layer.

1523
01:06:27,200 --> 01:06:28,200
Right.

1524
01:06:28,200 --> 01:06:34,200
Like I think this works out pretty well in terms of why people like this game so much

1525
01:06:34,200 --> 01:06:35,200
because it is an escape, right?

1526
01:06:35,200 --> 01:06:36,200
Because that stuff doesn't actually matter.

1527
01:06:36,200 --> 01:06:39,200
Like gender norms just like kind of don't exist when you're playing this game.

1528
01:06:39,200 --> 01:06:42,200
And now there does like age or any of that other stuff.

1529
01:06:42,200 --> 01:06:46,200
Like this is truly a place where you can just be your authentic self and play this game.

1530
01:06:46,200 --> 01:06:50,200
And you don't have to worry so much about like how you're perceived by everybody else.

1531
01:06:50,200 --> 01:06:53,200
Yeah, because it's like everyone focuses on the angel.

1532
01:06:53,200 --> 01:06:59,200
So whatever you want to be on the focus of everyone's attention, like if you want your

1533
01:06:59,200 --> 01:07:02,200
angel to be cool or cute, then like that's what people are going to focus on.

1534
01:07:02,200 --> 01:07:07,200
And it's like by proxy, it feels like they're acknowledging you because they're acknowledging

1535
01:07:07,200 --> 01:07:08,200
your angel.

1536
01:07:08,200 --> 01:07:09,200
Right.

1537
01:07:09,200 --> 01:07:12,200
So I feel like the tension is going to be like, Hey, are you bringing those ideas out

1538
01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:13,200
into your real life?

1539
01:07:13,200 --> 01:07:14,200
Right.

1540
01:07:14,200 --> 01:07:19,200
Like is Misaki going to use angelic layer as a way to like get over her insecurities

1541
01:07:19,200 --> 01:07:23,200
of being small in real life and like understanding that those are not a reflection of her, you

1542
01:07:23,200 --> 01:07:26,200
know, self worth or like her true self or any of that other kind of thing.

1543
01:07:26,200 --> 01:07:29,200
Just because that's how other people may like perceive her as.

1544
01:07:29,200 --> 01:07:30,200
Yeah.

1545
01:07:30,200 --> 01:07:33,200
And you were halfway and it's already got you thinking.

1546
01:07:33,200 --> 01:07:38,200
I mean, me when I first watched this, definitely not thinking that deeply about it.

1547
01:07:38,200 --> 01:07:40,200
But like almost 30.

1548
01:07:40,200 --> 01:07:46,200
So yeah, yeah, wait till you join the club 30, 30 and thriving.

1549
01:07:46,200 --> 01:07:51,200
Better at thinking about stuff as it's a lot easier to think about themes and stuff as

1550
01:07:51,200 --> 01:07:55,200
an adult that it is when you're watching stuff as like a TV.

1551
01:07:55,200 --> 01:08:01,200
Yeah, I'm still pretty shallow and narrow or simple minded when not consuming things.

1552
01:08:01,200 --> 01:08:04,200
I'm still banging on my desk saying, where's the fighting?

1553
01:08:04,200 --> 01:08:06,200
I don't want to see this thing.

1554
01:08:06,200 --> 01:08:11,200
But just in a like a spiritual way, not a like actual what they're intending to do with

1555
01:08:11,200 --> 01:08:13,200
the character development.

1556
01:08:13,200 --> 01:08:20,200
I guess as a whole, how are you feeling now that we hit the halfway mark on this show

1557
01:08:20,200 --> 01:08:27,200
and any more predictions heading into the next half, one opening, sadly.

1558
01:08:27,200 --> 01:08:33,200
I mean, that was how we did like every 20, no, every 26 episodes is how it used to be.

1559
01:08:33,200 --> 01:08:37,200
Now it's like 12 episodes and you get a new which is way more work.

1560
01:08:37,200 --> 01:08:40,200
I would try to like write off the first one.

1561
01:08:40,200 --> 01:08:41,200
Probably one's.

1562
01:08:41,200 --> 01:08:42,200
Yeah, I think it's I think it's good so far.

1563
01:08:42,200 --> 01:08:45,200
Like I'm pretty like I'm looking forward to the stuff that's coming next.

1564
01:08:45,200 --> 01:08:50,200
I'll see I'll be like interested to see like what her matches are like against some people

1565
01:08:50,200 --> 01:08:56,200
that are more veteran in terms of like what is Masaki going to learn or like take away from these fights.

1566
01:08:56,200 --> 01:09:00,200
As opposed to like what she's been doing recently, which is like kind of dishing out wisdom.

1567
01:09:00,200 --> 01:09:05,200
Now I think she's going to be on the receiving end of that and it's going to be interesting to see what other people have to say to her.

1568
01:09:05,200 --> 01:09:08,200
Yeah, because now she'll be actively talking with the peanut gallery.

1569
01:09:08,200 --> 01:09:10,200
They're not the peanut gallery anymore.

1570
01:09:10,200 --> 01:09:12,200
They're they're in the main spotlight.

1571
01:09:12,200 --> 01:09:13,200
They have names.

1572
01:09:13,200 --> 01:09:20,200
So it's going to be Masaki versus Kayate and then a toko versus sigh.

1573
01:09:20,200 --> 01:09:21,200
Oh, no.

1574
01:09:21,200 --> 01:09:23,200
He's going to play out.

1575
01:09:23,200 --> 01:09:24,200
Oh, no.

1576
01:09:24,200 --> 01:09:29,200
It's going to be the fight between the coolest angels ever.

1577
01:09:29,200 --> 01:09:30,200
It's going to be so sad.

1578
01:09:30,200 --> 01:09:32,200
I would be so sad when that happens.

1579
01:09:32,200 --> 01:09:33,200
You don't know.

1580
01:09:33,200 --> 01:09:36,200
I don't know, but I do know because I know drama.

1581
01:09:36,200 --> 01:09:38,200
I know how to write a show.

1582
01:09:38,200 --> 01:09:39,200
I actually don't.

1583
01:09:39,200 --> 01:09:40,200
But I've seen the show before.

1584
01:09:40,200 --> 01:09:42,200
I know how to write script for a podcast.

1585
01:09:42,200 --> 01:09:43,200
I know.

1586
01:09:43,200 --> 01:09:44,200
I know how scripts work.

1587
01:09:44,200 --> 01:09:45,200
I know how drama.

1588
01:09:45,200 --> 01:09:46,200
I know how you make drama.

1589
01:09:46,200 --> 01:09:49,200
You don't make drama by having the same person fight the same person twice.

1590
01:09:49,200 --> 01:09:53,200
Yeah, maybe if this is a longer running show, but there's no time for that.

1591
01:09:53,200 --> 01:09:56,200
She would hold her hand if she was going to lose.

1592
01:09:56,200 --> 01:09:57,200
Let's be real.

1593
01:09:57,200 --> 01:09:58,200
Oh, no.

1594
01:09:58,200 --> 01:09:59,200
It'll be good.

1595
01:09:59,200 --> 01:10:01,200
I think I think hot okay will bounce back.

1596
01:10:01,200 --> 01:10:02,200
Blanche is cute.

1597
01:10:02,200 --> 01:10:07,200
Nurse Blanche isn't blanching when you like freeze vegetables or something.

1598
01:10:07,200 --> 01:10:10,200
I mean, isn't that a golden girl?

1599
01:10:10,200 --> 01:10:11,200
Blanche.

1600
01:10:11,200 --> 01:10:13,200
Is that like pale?

1601
01:10:13,200 --> 01:10:14,200
Let's see here.

1602
01:10:14,200 --> 01:10:17,200
How to blanch vegetables before freezing.

1603
01:10:17,200 --> 01:10:21,200
Blanching is the process in which you boil or steam vegetables briefly until they are

1604
01:10:21,200 --> 01:10:22,200
partially cooked.

1605
01:10:22,200 --> 01:10:26,200
It is the essential step before freezing many vegetables, including broccoli, leafy greens,

1606
01:10:26,200 --> 01:10:27,200
string beans, okra and asparagus.

1607
01:10:27,200 --> 01:10:28,200
It makes sense.

1608
01:10:28,200 --> 01:10:30,200
I don't know what it has to do with cooking.

1609
01:10:30,200 --> 01:10:32,200
Do we think Kaia is going to do that on stage?

1610
01:10:32,200 --> 01:10:34,200
Going to blanch some vegetables?

1611
01:10:34,200 --> 01:10:35,200
No.

1612
01:10:35,200 --> 01:10:37,200
Well, I look up blanched.

1613
01:10:37,200 --> 01:10:43,200
Well, as far as like name, feminine name of French origin, that means white or pure,

1614
01:10:43,200 --> 01:10:44,200
which makes sense.

1615
01:10:44,200 --> 01:10:47,200
The angels stick down and white stuff.

1616
01:10:47,200 --> 01:10:53,200
But what I was thinking of is what does blanched mean to become white or pale as from shock

1617
01:10:53,200 --> 01:10:54,200
or fear?

1618
01:10:54,200 --> 01:10:59,200
That's what I had in mind, like becoming pale from something.

1619
01:10:59,200 --> 01:11:00,200
Yeah.

1620
01:11:00,200 --> 01:11:02,200
So what kind of fighting style?

1621
01:11:02,200 --> 01:11:04,200
I mean, because right there are both lightweight angels.

1622
01:11:04,200 --> 01:11:06,200
So there are similar builds.

1623
01:11:06,200 --> 01:11:09,200
Well, I guess we'll see that new terrain stuff.

1624
01:11:09,200 --> 01:11:10,200
That'll change it up.

1625
01:11:10,200 --> 01:11:16,200
It's interesting to me that so far the only angel that she's fought that has like a special

1626
01:11:16,200 --> 01:11:19,200
kind of ability was Ranga that like shoots the air blast.

1627
01:11:19,200 --> 01:11:20,200
Like nobody else had a gimmick.

1628
01:11:20,200 --> 01:11:21,200
Like Mao didn't have a gimmick.

1629
01:11:21,200 --> 01:11:22,200
I mean, there was like five.

1630
01:11:22,200 --> 01:11:23,200
She was like five.

1631
01:11:23,200 --> 01:11:24,200
I mean, that wasn't like the ability.

1632
01:11:24,200 --> 01:11:25,200
There was the ice skating.

1633
01:11:25,200 --> 01:11:26,200
But that was like a...

1634
01:11:26,200 --> 01:11:28,200
But like there wasn't like an attack.

1635
01:11:28,200 --> 01:11:32,200
It wasn't like a puzzle fight, you know, where you had to like figure out what's happening.

1636
01:11:32,200 --> 01:11:34,200
Hopefully we'll get some more puzzle fights.

1637
01:11:34,200 --> 01:11:35,200
I like puzzle fights.

1638
01:11:35,200 --> 01:11:36,200
Yeah.

1639
01:11:36,200 --> 01:11:37,200
We got to use that brain.

1640
01:11:37,200 --> 01:11:39,200
We got to like figure out what's going on.

1641
01:11:39,200 --> 01:11:41,200
I don't think Misaki can handle that many.

1642
01:11:41,200 --> 01:11:44,200
Her poor little brain can't process too much information.

1643
01:11:44,200 --> 01:11:45,200
You keep saying she's dumb.

1644
01:11:45,200 --> 01:11:46,200
She's not dumb.

1645
01:11:46,200 --> 01:11:47,200
I don't know.

1646
01:11:47,200 --> 01:11:49,200
Let me see that report card.

1647
01:11:49,200 --> 01:11:51,200
Then we'll see.

1648
01:11:51,200 --> 01:11:52,200
Wow.

1649
01:11:52,200 --> 01:11:53,200
Oh, yes.

1650
01:11:53,200 --> 01:11:54,200
Wow.

1651
01:11:54,200 --> 01:11:55,200
I'm not that smart.

1652
01:11:55,200 --> 01:12:01,200
I'm just saying I'm more perceptive of like, oh, I just saw that lady in the bathroom.

1653
01:12:01,200 --> 01:12:02,200
Now she's on screen.

1654
01:12:02,200 --> 01:12:03,200
Okay.

1655
01:12:03,200 --> 01:12:10,200
I can comprehend that that's the same person and that she's a performer and not be shocked.

1656
01:12:10,200 --> 01:12:13,200
More be like boasting to Aunt Shoko.

1657
01:12:13,200 --> 01:12:14,200
I'm at that girl.

1658
01:12:14,200 --> 01:12:15,200
Listen, I'm at that idol.

1659
01:12:15,200 --> 01:12:16,200
You've ever been to a concert?

1660
01:12:16,200 --> 01:12:17,200
Like twice.

1661
01:12:17,200 --> 01:12:21,200
You ever, you ever stand like had a standing area in a concert before?

1662
01:12:21,200 --> 01:12:22,200
No.

1663
01:12:22,200 --> 01:12:26,200
If everybody's standing, people in front of you are tall and Misaki notoriously short.

1664
01:12:26,200 --> 01:12:27,200
So maybe she didn't see any.

1665
01:12:27,200 --> 01:12:28,200
Yeah.

1666
01:12:28,200 --> 01:12:29,200
Like her whole show.

1667
01:12:29,200 --> 01:12:31,200
Maybe she was just in a crowd and just like heard the music.

1668
01:12:31,200 --> 01:12:33,200
Well, yeah, cause there was no seating.

1669
01:12:33,200 --> 01:12:35,200
It was just people standing around.

1670
01:12:35,200 --> 01:12:39,200
Maybe she just, maybe she just couldn't see Ringo because she's so short.

1671
01:12:39,200 --> 01:12:43,200
Katara should have put her on her shoulders, but he didn't because he's a wuss.

1672
01:12:43,200 --> 01:12:45,200
Also, she already gets treated like a child.

1673
01:12:45,200 --> 01:12:48,200
They'll just make her more self-conscious of looking like a.

1674
01:12:48,200 --> 01:12:49,200
You should neg her.

1675
01:12:49,200 --> 01:12:51,200
That's how that's how you get a girlfriend.

1676
01:12:51,200 --> 01:12:52,200
Yeah.

1677
01:12:52,200 --> 01:12:55,200
I guess you, you're the ladies man.

1678
01:12:55,200 --> 01:12:56,200
So yeah.

1679
01:12:56,200 --> 01:12:58,200
That's how I always refer to myself.

1680
01:12:58,200 --> 01:13:00,200
Smooth operator.

1681
01:13:00,200 --> 01:13:02,200
I also invite like, that's my number one hit on him.

1682
01:13:02,200 --> 01:13:05,200
Like, Hey, you want to use to me do some judo moves?

1683
01:13:05,200 --> 01:13:08,200
You want to see me do a judo form?

1684
01:13:08,200 --> 01:13:10,200
Is that doing anything for you?

1685
01:13:10,200 --> 01:13:14,200
No, I feel like would you, would you, would that work on you?

1686
01:13:14,200 --> 01:13:17,200
No, I'm like, oh, are you weirdo?

1687
01:13:17,200 --> 01:13:23,200
I just imagine it's like the typical like, ooh, let me show you how to do this thing.

1688
01:13:23,200 --> 01:13:24,200
No, you're not doing it right.

1689
01:13:24,200 --> 01:13:26,200
Let me show you by touching you.

1690
01:13:26,200 --> 01:13:31,200
That's what I would imagine would be the proposition if someone came up to me saying, Hey, let me

1691
01:13:31,200 --> 01:13:32,200
just show you this.

1692
01:13:32,200 --> 01:13:36,200
It is that not, not that far removed from being like, Hey, you want to come watch me play video

1693
01:13:36,200 --> 01:13:37,200
games?

1694
01:13:37,200 --> 01:13:42,200
Like, I play games and I wouldn't want that.

1695
01:13:42,200 --> 01:13:44,200
It looks, it looks bad.

1696
01:13:44,200 --> 01:13:47,200
And like, it's like a cool one.

1697
01:13:47,200 --> 01:13:48,200
This is what I say.

1698
01:13:48,200 --> 01:13:49,200
Like, Tamiya would have a better date.

1699
01:13:49,200 --> 01:13:50,200
He should just date Tamiya.

1700
01:13:50,200 --> 01:13:55,200
I feel like if you were dating her, if he was dating her, I would just be flinching.

1701
01:13:55,200 --> 01:13:59,200
Expecting her to attack me at any moment, never able to relax.

1702
01:13:59,200 --> 01:14:00,200
That's great.

1703
01:14:00,200 --> 01:14:02,200
That's the foundation of a good relationship.

1704
01:14:02,200 --> 01:14:03,200
Get that heart racing.

1705
01:14:03,200 --> 01:14:04,200
That's right.

1706
01:14:04,200 --> 01:14:05,200
Yeah, we'll see.

1707
01:14:05,200 --> 01:14:08,200
I am not excited about the guitar relationship with Misaki because I don't think it's that

1708
01:14:08,200 --> 01:14:09,200
good.

1709
01:14:09,200 --> 01:14:13,200
Well, luckily it's a shonen so, so it won't be fully realized.

1710
01:14:13,200 --> 01:14:15,200
I do like the Tamiya drama.

1711
01:14:15,200 --> 01:14:17,200
Oh, you don't know that.

1712
01:14:17,200 --> 01:14:18,200
It could happen.

1713
01:14:18,200 --> 01:14:20,200
I do know actually.

1714
01:14:20,200 --> 01:14:24,200
Listen, I can, I can interpret anything in my mind if I try hard enough.

1715
01:14:24,200 --> 01:14:27,200
Yeah, I can make realities in my head.

1716
01:14:27,200 --> 01:14:29,200
You wouldn't believe.

1717
01:14:29,200 --> 01:14:32,200
I am now questioning the order that I put things.

1718
01:14:32,200 --> 01:14:33,200
Now I don't remember.

1719
01:14:33,200 --> 01:14:35,200
Do we do recommendations first or reviews first?

1720
01:14:35,200 --> 01:14:37,200
We just discussed episode 12.

1721
01:14:37,200 --> 01:14:40,200
I know, I can't remember.

1722
01:14:40,200 --> 01:14:42,200
Well, we've done up to this point.

1723
01:14:42,200 --> 01:14:43,200
Okay.

1724
01:14:43,200 --> 01:14:44,200
It does how we've done it.

1725
01:14:44,200 --> 01:14:47,200
Hey, Sarah, what do you have to recommend the people?

1726
01:14:47,200 --> 01:14:52,200
What's something they should watch while they're also watching the next two episodes of Angelica?

1727
01:14:52,200 --> 01:14:54,200
Well, should we only be doing Anna?

1728
01:14:54,200 --> 01:14:57,200
I was gonna say, I'm going to the game.

1729
01:14:57,200 --> 01:15:00,200
So right now, folks, you got to act on this.

1730
01:15:00,200 --> 01:15:01,200
Okay.

1731
01:15:01,200 --> 01:15:08,200
The steam spring sales going on and I think it and what page is that ends?

1732
01:15:08,200 --> 01:15:17,200
Yeah, so it's a limited time that Mass Effect Legendary Edition is only $9.

1733
01:15:17,200 --> 01:15:20,200
That's like hundreds of hours.

1734
01:15:20,200 --> 01:15:27,200
Well, possibly at least 100 hours of content for $9 of one of the best video game series ever.

1735
01:15:27,200 --> 01:15:29,200
I am a huge Mass Effect fan.

1736
01:15:29,200 --> 01:15:37,200
I have like a freaking custom license plate that's Mass Effect related and big dweeb and it's so good.

1737
01:15:37,200 --> 01:15:38,200
Life changed.

1738
01:15:38,200 --> 01:15:45,200
Like I remember my kid brother's birthday because it was like the day before or he was born the day before Mass Effect 2 came out.

1739
01:15:45,200 --> 01:15:47,200
That's how I remember his birthday.

1740
01:15:47,200 --> 01:15:49,200
Oh, it's so good.

1741
01:15:49,200 --> 01:15:51,200
Third person shooter.

1742
01:15:51,200 --> 01:16:03,200
It's like super good, you know, like in-depth story of big epic, you know, space thing and female shepherds voiced by Jennifer Hale.

1743
01:16:03,200 --> 01:16:05,200
There's Romeo.

1744
01:16:05,200 --> 01:16:08,200
It's so good.

1745
01:16:08,200 --> 01:16:09,200
I love it.

1746
01:16:09,200 --> 01:16:12,200
Mass Effect 2 is one of my favorite games ever, if not the favorite.

1747
01:16:12,200 --> 01:16:15,200
All of Barge Gate 3 has become a contender.

1748
01:16:15,200 --> 01:16:18,200
Yeah, that's my recommendation because it refines.

1749
01:16:18,200 --> 01:16:26,200
Because I know a lot of people just skip the first Mass Effect because it's, you know, it was first, yeah, first it's all freaking out.

1750
01:16:26,200 --> 01:16:28,200
It was BioWare's first shooter game.

1751
01:16:28,200 --> 01:16:30,200
So maybe they didn't know what they were doing as well.

1752
01:16:30,200 --> 01:16:34,200
So they like revamp the gameplay so it's consistent through all the games for the most part.

1753
01:16:34,200 --> 01:16:40,200
And so the first one is much, there's not the never ending elevator loading scenes anymore.

1754
01:16:40,200 --> 01:16:44,200
So it's vastly improved, although the make-go is still a thing.

1755
01:16:44,200 --> 01:16:50,200
So that's a bummer, yeah, drive that damn thing on all these rain of planets other than that.

1756
01:16:50,200 --> 01:16:52,200
But yeah, $9.

1757
01:16:52,200 --> 01:16:54,200
I played through Mass Effect the first one.

1758
01:16:54,200 --> 01:16:57,200
I was an engineer or whatever, which means I could only use a pistol.

1759
01:16:57,200 --> 01:16:58,200
Oh yeah, yeah.

1760
01:16:58,200 --> 01:17:00,200
Yeah, I think I was a-

1761
01:17:00,200 --> 01:17:07,200
I think when I was probably 13 when I first played it is my first HD game.

1762
01:17:07,200 --> 01:17:12,200
I picked a Biotic and then never used my Biotic abilities.

1763
01:17:12,200 --> 01:17:13,200
Oh man.

1764
01:17:13,200 --> 01:17:15,200
I didn't know romance was a thing.

1765
01:17:15,200 --> 01:17:17,200
Like a lot of things went over my head.

1766
01:17:17,200 --> 01:17:25,200
The first time I played, which is probably for the best, I would have been scandalized by the sex box.

1767
01:17:25,200 --> 01:17:32,200
You can't, like the scene where it's like, oh, we're so in love and they like can't send a cus to black that.

1768
01:17:32,200 --> 01:17:34,200
Did you scandalize by that?

1769
01:17:34,200 --> 01:17:39,200
Well, cus there's like kind of a sex scene, Shepard or Liara with-

1770
01:17:39,200 --> 01:17:40,200
Not really.

1771
01:17:40,200 --> 01:17:48,200
Kind of scandalized Fox News and they like lost their minds about it, labeled it sex box.

1772
01:17:48,200 --> 01:17:50,200
Fox News loses its mind about anything because they're dumb.

1773
01:17:50,200 --> 01:17:52,200
Yeah, well, just say, yeah.

1774
01:17:52,200 --> 01:17:55,200
Fox News makes up stuff to get upset about.

1775
01:17:55,200 --> 01:18:00,200
But that's another reason to get Mass Effect, which I would always be like nervous when I was playing it,

1776
01:18:00,200 --> 01:18:04,200
cus I'd have to play at my dad's house when I went to visit him, so I'd be like, no, it's around, right?

1777
01:18:04,200 --> 01:18:06,200
Like, oh god, something's about to happen.

1778
01:18:06,200 --> 01:18:07,200
I don't want to watch it.

1779
01:18:07,200 --> 01:18:11,200
Five second scene, I don't understand how you're like nervous about this for hours.

1780
01:18:11,200 --> 01:18:13,200
Oh god.

1781
01:18:13,200 --> 01:18:15,200
Great series, get it.

1782
01:18:15,200 --> 01:18:17,200
Okay, that's my recommendation.

1783
01:18:17,200 --> 01:18:18,200
How about you, Joe?

1784
01:18:18,200 --> 01:18:22,200
Well, so early in this episode, I'm like, next week I'll talk about Star Wars Rebels,

1785
01:18:22,200 --> 01:18:24,200
but I'm just gonna recommend it here.

1786
01:18:24,200 --> 01:18:25,200
Hey, do you like Star Wars?

1787
01:18:25,200 --> 01:18:27,200
Do you like Star Wars stuff?

1788
01:18:27,200 --> 01:18:32,200
But you've noticed that maybe the most recent live action stuff, isn't that great?

1789
01:18:32,200 --> 01:18:33,200
Particularly?

1790
01:18:33,200 --> 01:18:39,200
Star Wars, like maybe it's really obvious they made it in like a sound room or like a green screen and looks kind of flat.

1791
01:18:39,200 --> 01:18:41,200
Looks like they're cutting corners.

1792
01:18:41,200 --> 01:18:49,200
Well, you should watch Star Wars Rebels, the animated, the 3D animated show from whenever it came out.

1793
01:18:49,200 --> 01:18:50,200
Oh, is this old?

1794
01:18:50,200 --> 01:18:51,200
14.

1795
01:18:51,200 --> 01:18:52,200
Oh, okay.

1796
01:18:52,200 --> 01:18:55,200
This is different from the Clone Wars or Bad Bad.

1797
01:18:55,200 --> 01:18:56,200
Yeah, you should also watch the Clone Wars.

1798
01:18:56,200 --> 01:18:59,200
Okay, I think, yeah, so Star Wars Rebels 2014 to 2018.

1799
01:18:59,200 --> 01:19:05,200
I have watched the first season and I just started the second season, I'm watching it along with a more civilized age podcast.

1800
01:19:05,200 --> 01:19:07,200
So I'm just seeing it now.

1801
01:19:07,200 --> 01:19:08,200
But it is very high quality.

1802
01:19:08,200 --> 01:19:16,200
It does the stuff you want Star Wars to do, like have payoffs for character arcs and like development and all this other stuff.

1803
01:19:16,200 --> 01:19:19,200
The Clone Wars also does this to a certain extent.

1804
01:19:19,200 --> 01:19:26,200
It's just older and it's like a little bit more, it starts off a little bit more like Saturday morning cartoon show for kids show.

1805
01:19:26,200 --> 01:19:30,200
But then like after like season two and three, it like really picks up a lot.

1806
01:19:30,200 --> 01:19:36,200
And you get a lot of like really good stuff of like the Clone Wars and like from the characters of like Anakin and Obi-Wan and all that other stuff.

1807
01:19:36,200 --> 01:19:37,200
So that's really good.

1808
01:19:37,200 --> 01:19:44,200
In Rebels, you know, it starts to take place in between the prequel series and like a mainline Star Wars stuff.

1809
01:19:44,200 --> 01:19:47,200
And it introduces a bunch of new characters, but it's really fun.

1810
01:19:47,200 --> 01:19:49,200
They do a lot of really interesting stuff there.

1811
01:19:49,200 --> 01:20:00,200
I would say like the things I feel like people like from the Mandalorian in terms of like kind of building out the universe and like some of the ideas of like what other people were doing in the galaxy at this time.

1812
01:20:00,200 --> 01:20:05,200
This show does that same exact stuff, but like really well executed and it looks really great in animation.

1813
01:20:05,200 --> 01:20:07,200
Like you can just do pacing better.

1814
01:20:07,200 --> 01:20:10,200
You could just do special effects better.

1815
01:20:10,200 --> 01:20:12,200
So what you can do. Yeah.

1816
01:20:12,200 --> 01:20:14,200
Right. And like the space battles look incredible.

1817
01:20:14,200 --> 01:20:18,200
It's just a really good way of experiencing Star Wars.

1818
01:20:18,200 --> 01:20:26,200
So if you haven't, if you like Star Wars and you haven't watched that stuff because you know, it was on Cartoon Network when you were you were like an adult or something.

1819
01:20:26,200 --> 01:20:29,200
I would go check that out because it's actually pretty solid stuff.

1820
01:20:29,200 --> 01:20:32,200
It's also pretty anime. There's a lot of anime shit in it. It's good.

1821
01:20:32,200 --> 01:20:35,200
Yeah. Well, because I mean Star Wars, right?

1822
01:20:35,200 --> 01:20:41,200
Most people think of the movies, but I like just the concept of the universe more than the movies itself.

1823
01:20:41,200 --> 01:20:50,200
Like my favorite piece of Star Wars stuff is Kotor, which we will get into and eventually make this bonus episode for realties.

1824
01:20:50,200 --> 01:20:53,200
It's not we're not just talking. We've half recorded it.

1825
01:20:53,200 --> 01:20:55,200
So it's coming at some point.

1826
01:20:55,200 --> 01:20:58,200
But like the potential for all the different stories.

1827
01:20:58,200 --> 01:21:02,200
Like I haven't read any of the books. I know there's like a bajillion Star Wars books.

1828
01:21:02,200 --> 01:21:08,200
But yeah, that's what there's room to make so many different things outside of the movies.

1829
01:21:08,200 --> 01:21:12,200
Yeah, it adds a lot of nuance and flavor to the worlds around it. It's good.

1830
01:21:12,200 --> 01:21:16,200
I guess I was before Disney acquired LucasArts.

1831
01:21:16,200 --> 01:21:19,200
Rebels is like the first thing they made after Disney acquired them.

1832
01:21:19,200 --> 01:21:23,200
So they stopped making the Clone Wars show and then they made Rebels.

1833
01:21:23,200 --> 01:21:25,200
Were people mad about that?

1834
01:21:25,200 --> 01:21:34,200
Yeah, well, they went back later and added a seventh season to the Clone Wars, which is like the thing about the Clone Wars is that you can watch the animation quality get better.

1835
01:21:34,200 --> 01:21:40,200
Like you can watch them like really figure out like how to make things look good, how to do lighting, how to do particle effects and like the writing gets better.

1836
01:21:40,200 --> 01:21:44,200
Like everything just gets way better. And then in Rebels, they start off already with all those skills.

1837
01:21:44,200 --> 01:21:51,200
And then they play that show out and then they go back to the Clone Wars and that season is incredible.

1838
01:21:51,200 --> 01:21:53,200
It's like peak Star Wars stuff.

1839
01:21:53,200 --> 01:21:57,200
That didn't just immediately turn to shit when the big company got their hands on it.

1840
01:21:57,200 --> 01:22:01,200
I know they did that like Tales of the Jedi thing, which is also that 3D animation.

1841
01:22:01,200 --> 01:22:04,200
I haven't seen that yet, but I'm expecting it to be really good.

1842
01:22:04,200 --> 01:22:07,200
Like I heard the bad batch is really good. It's that same thing like that style.

1843
01:22:07,200 --> 01:22:09,200
Yeah, I've heard good things about that.

1844
01:22:09,200 --> 01:22:11,200
That team is really good is what I've heard.

1845
01:22:11,200 --> 01:22:13,200
Really carrying Star Wars on its back for me.

1846
01:22:13,200 --> 01:22:18,200
Yeah, I think I saw a Clone War movie where there's like a baby hut, like Java the hut.

1847
01:22:18,200 --> 01:22:20,200
Yeah, that was like the very first thing they did.

1848
01:22:20,200 --> 01:22:22,200
Yeah, it's a cute little dude.

1849
01:22:22,200 --> 01:22:23,200
It's fun.

1850
01:22:23,200 --> 01:22:28,200
Listen, if you watched Obi-Wan, the show Obi-Wan and thought it was terrible, it's because you're right.

1851
01:22:28,200 --> 01:22:31,200
It is terrible and there's all that stuff way better.

1852
01:22:31,200 --> 01:22:35,200
I watched a bit of Ashoka.

1853
01:22:35,200 --> 01:22:39,200
I've not seen that, but I just don't think the live action stuff has it.

1854
01:22:39,200 --> 01:22:42,200
Like the first two seasons of The Mandalorian were pretty good.

1855
01:22:42,200 --> 01:22:44,200
The first season was really good and the second one was okay.

1856
01:22:44,200 --> 01:22:47,200
And then I've heard it's meandering.

1857
01:22:47,200 --> 01:22:50,200
I watched a few episodes, but I was like, this is boring.

1858
01:22:50,200 --> 01:22:54,200
Baby Yoda's carrying this whole show on his tiny back.

1859
01:22:54,200 --> 01:22:55,200
Yeah.

1860
01:22:55,200 --> 01:22:56,200
So I didn't.

1861
01:22:56,200 --> 01:22:58,200
I haven't the animated shows got it.

1862
01:22:58,200 --> 01:22:59,200
They have it.

1863
01:22:59,200 --> 01:23:00,200
They move at a pace.

1864
01:23:00,200 --> 01:23:02,200
Like they have a really, they have cartoon pacing, right?

1865
01:23:02,200 --> 01:23:04,200
Which is like, you can do a lot of stuff.

1866
01:23:04,200 --> 01:23:10,200
The biggest takeaway from the like live action avatar thing is that like cartoons can just do pacing faster.

1867
01:23:10,200 --> 01:23:13,200
Yeah, because you're already in the minds like it's yeah.

1868
01:23:13,200 --> 01:23:14,200
Yeah, cartoons.

1869
01:23:14,200 --> 01:23:18,200
I mean, just animated stuff, I think is great.

1870
01:23:18,200 --> 01:23:21,200
It's, you know, easier to be successful.

1871
01:23:21,200 --> 01:23:25,200
It seems like just have beautiful art and a decent story and likeable characters.

1872
01:23:25,200 --> 01:23:28,200
Like you and me, we freaking love.

1873
01:23:28,200 --> 01:23:33,200
Well, maybe I'm just speaking for you, but we like to young justice a lot.

1874
01:23:33,200 --> 01:23:39,200
That's the animated series like heroes that that superheroes works better in animation than live action.

1875
01:23:39,200 --> 01:23:40,200
Oh yeah.

1876
01:23:40,200 --> 01:23:42,200
And it's so much cheaper.

1877
01:23:42,200 --> 01:23:45,200
Like, so why not like hand drawn?

1878
01:23:45,200 --> 01:23:50,200
I don't like the 3d stuff live actions really good or like character work, right?

1879
01:23:50,200 --> 01:23:51,200
Like character drama.

1880
01:23:51,200 --> 01:23:53,200
I feel like live action works really well.

1881
01:23:53,200 --> 01:24:02,200
You know, I don't think I'm a little animated, like animated, breaking bad or like mad men or like, I don't think that would be very good.

1882
01:24:02,200 --> 01:24:12,200
Just because those like thrive on long scenes between characters that are like having complex emotions and like the, you know, voice acting could do a lot, but it can't do like the face and all that stuff.

1883
01:24:12,200 --> 01:24:14,200
Like it's just harder to do that in the animation.

1884
01:24:14,200 --> 01:24:15,200
I don't know.

1885
01:24:15,200 --> 01:24:18,200
Has the anime never made you upset or cry or anything?

1886
01:24:18,200 --> 01:24:20,200
I mean, it has, but it has to do more.

1887
01:24:20,200 --> 01:24:25,200
Like the setting of like the conflict than like any particular performance.

1888
01:24:25,200 --> 01:24:26,200
Clannad.

1889
01:24:26,200 --> 01:24:29,200
Because like you just can't, you can't animate a face that detailed.

1890
01:24:29,200 --> 01:24:31,200
It would just take a budget to do that.

1891
01:24:31,200 --> 01:24:34,200
Whereas like an actor can really express a lot with their face.

1892
01:24:34,200 --> 01:24:35,200
I was like, oh, we finished early.

1893
01:24:35,200 --> 01:24:37,200
What section are we in now, Sarah?

1894
01:24:37,200 --> 01:24:38,200
Shut up.

1895
01:24:38,200 --> 01:24:40,200
What's the section title?

1896
01:24:40,200 --> 01:24:43,200
Listener reviews from Apple.

1897
01:24:43,200 --> 01:24:51,200
If you enjoy this show and you should rate it five stars on whatever podcasting platform you're listening to this on.

1898
01:24:51,200 --> 01:24:54,200
Even if you don't enjoy it, give us five stars.

1899
01:24:54,200 --> 01:24:55,200
Even if you don't enjoy it, just give us five.

1900
01:24:55,200 --> 01:24:56,200
Please.

1901
01:24:56,200 --> 01:24:59,200
Before listening to the episode, give us five stars.

1902
01:24:59,200 --> 01:25:01,200
Hey, what do you do at the back end at least?

1903
01:25:01,200 --> 01:25:04,200
So you can just like, I'm out.

1904
01:25:04,200 --> 01:25:10,200
If you rate us five stars and leave a comment on Apple podcasts, I will read it out.

1905
01:25:10,200 --> 01:25:15,200
We have a comment from Denene.

1906
01:25:15,200 --> 01:25:17,200
That is five stars.

1907
01:25:17,200 --> 01:25:20,200
Denene says, show Joe is the show.

1908
01:25:20,200 --> 01:25:27,200
If you told me 10 to 15 years ago that I'd listened to a podcast about show Joe anime, I would have never believed you.

1909
01:25:27,200 --> 01:25:29,200
This podcast is the real deal.

1910
01:25:29,200 --> 01:25:33,200
You can tell that Joe and Sarah have so much fun discussing the anime they watch.

1911
01:25:33,200 --> 01:25:38,200
I enjoy the conversations they have together, bringing their real lives into the anime topics.

1912
01:25:38,200 --> 01:25:41,200
I feel like I need to watch more show Joe anime and it's all thanks to them.

1913
01:25:41,200 --> 01:25:42,200
Five stars.

1914
01:25:42,200 --> 01:25:43,200
Thank you, Denene.

1915
01:25:43,200 --> 01:25:44,200
Oh, Denene.

1916
01:25:44,200 --> 01:25:45,200
Thanks.

1917
01:25:45,200 --> 01:25:50,200
If you have something you want me to read out, leave it as a comment because I think that was the last one.

1918
01:25:50,200 --> 01:25:52,200
So it will get read next time.

1919
01:25:52,200 --> 01:25:54,200
Okay, that's a friend of mine.

1920
01:25:54,200 --> 01:25:57,200
I was going to say from now on, I'll pretend I don't know who anyone is.

1921
01:25:57,200 --> 01:26:04,200
So it seems like people are genuinely interested in our podcast and not just doing it for the sake of supporting us.

1922
01:26:04,200 --> 01:26:05,200
I think you should do it.

1923
01:26:05,200 --> 01:26:06,200
I think, listen, you like us.

1924
01:26:06,200 --> 01:26:10,200
You just listen to us talk for some number of hours about some shit.

1925
01:26:10,200 --> 01:26:11,200
Leave a comment.

1926
01:26:11,200 --> 01:26:13,200
We're undeniably entertaining.

1927
01:26:13,200 --> 01:26:14,200
Leave a tongue twister.

1928
01:26:14,200 --> 01:26:15,200
I'll have to say it.

1929
01:26:15,200 --> 01:26:17,200
Just wait five stars.

1930
01:26:17,200 --> 01:26:21,200
One day we'll pick a show that's actually on a streaming service and then it'll be a lot easier for them to watch it.

1931
01:26:21,200 --> 01:26:22,200
Until then.

1932
01:26:22,200 --> 01:26:27,200
It will be popular by proxy and off our own merit.

1933
01:26:27,200 --> 01:26:31,200
What's going to happen is that we're going to watch something popular and then we're going to hate it while everybody else is in love with it.

1934
01:26:31,200 --> 01:26:33,200
And then they hate that we hate it.

1935
01:26:33,200 --> 01:26:39,200
We're going to have to be like, listen, I know everybody likes this thing, but have you really considered what's going on here?

1936
01:26:39,200 --> 01:26:45,200
I mean, I like podcasts because then it does make me think of different things that maybe didn't come to mind.

1937
01:26:45,200 --> 01:26:48,200
And then I can just consider if I agree with what's being said or not.

1938
01:26:48,200 --> 01:26:51,200
Yeah, I know, but you know what, like online perspectives.

1939
01:26:51,200 --> 01:26:52,200
Oh, I don't know.

1940
01:26:52,200 --> 01:26:54,200
Anime fandom is like, they don't think about anything.

1941
01:26:54,200 --> 01:26:59,200
You never, I've ever looked at a my anime list about like anything that like objectively sucks.

1942
01:26:59,200 --> 01:27:03,200
No, I've never really dwelled into conversation.

1943
01:27:03,200 --> 01:27:07,200
Shield hero rated on my hero or on my anime list right now.

1944
01:27:07,200 --> 01:27:12,200
But like when I read a web tune at the end, there will be comments and that and some.

1945
01:27:12,200 --> 01:27:18,200
Okay, guys, sometimes I read smite and so I like there's always really funny comments at the end.

1946
01:27:18,200 --> 01:27:19,200
Scandal.

1947
01:27:19,200 --> 01:27:20,200
I know.

1948
01:27:20,200 --> 01:27:24,200
You're going to scandalize with a Mass Effect sex scene, but you're really smite.

1949
01:27:24,200 --> 01:27:25,200
I'm dirty now.

1950
01:27:25,200 --> 01:27:27,200
I can take it now.

1951
01:27:27,200 --> 01:27:30,200
Just not when I was 13.

1952
01:27:30,200 --> 01:27:36,200
Shield hero has an 8 and 7.96 score on my anime list.

1953
01:27:36,200 --> 01:27:37,200
Anime fans are trash.

1954
01:27:37,200 --> 01:27:39,200
Is that shield hero?

1955
01:27:39,200 --> 01:27:40,200
I've never heard of it.

1956
01:27:40,200 --> 01:27:45,200
Yeah, rising of shield hero, the one where he like grooms a child's slave and then she like becomes his girlfriend.

1957
01:27:45,200 --> 01:27:46,200
It's terrible.

1958
01:27:46,200 --> 01:27:47,200
What?

1959
01:27:47,200 --> 01:27:48,200
Jail.

1960
01:27:48,200 --> 01:27:49,200
He should be in jail.

1961
01:27:49,200 --> 01:27:52,200
I should be able to shoot him from space.

1962
01:27:52,200 --> 01:27:53,200
Good to know.

1963
01:27:53,200 --> 01:27:54,200
Steer clear.

1964
01:27:54,200 --> 01:27:56,200
Hey, I will say.

1965
01:27:56,200 --> 01:28:09,200
At least as far as smite manga is concerned, people reading it are very good about calling out bullshit like, hey, that's not content.

1966
01:28:09,200 --> 01:28:10,200
This is troubling.

1967
01:28:10,200 --> 01:28:11,200
This is trash.

1968
01:28:11,200 --> 01:28:13,200
Like the they she's done.

1969
01:28:13,200 --> 01:28:14,200
He's the worst.

1970
01:28:14,200 --> 01:28:17,200
Like I'm not going to read this garbage manga.

1971
01:28:17,200 --> 01:28:20,200
Maybe people have more standards than anime.

1972
01:28:20,200 --> 01:28:21,200
What's the next part of it?

1973
01:28:21,200 --> 01:28:22,200
What's the next one schedule?

1974
01:28:22,200 --> 01:28:27,200
I'm not making fun of you.

1975
01:28:27,200 --> 01:28:29,200
I'm just trying to keep the subject.

1976
01:28:29,200 --> 01:28:31,200
I can't tell if you're joking or not.

1977
01:28:31,200 --> 01:28:33,200
Your voice is so misleading.

1978
01:28:33,200 --> 01:28:37,200
Because you're so like, oh, is he making fun of me?

1979
01:28:37,200 --> 01:28:38,200
I can't tell.

1980
01:28:38,200 --> 01:28:39,200
Oh, no way.

1981
01:28:39,200 --> 01:28:40,200
Of course not.

1982
01:28:40,200 --> 01:28:41,200
Why do they make fun of you?

1983
01:28:41,200 --> 01:28:43,200
See, now you guys are casting even more than you imagine.

1984
01:28:43,200 --> 01:28:46,200
The schedule you posted with Jim Carter forgot about.

1985
01:28:46,200 --> 01:28:50,200
Just, just don't sass me, boy.

1986
01:28:50,200 --> 01:28:53,200
All right, go ahead and give us our ending sign off.

1987
01:28:53,200 --> 01:28:54,200
Oh, no.

1988
01:28:54,200 --> 01:28:56,200
That's agreed on.

1989
01:28:59,200 --> 01:29:01,200
We're halfway there.

1990
01:29:01,200 --> 01:29:04,200
Oh, we're going to get copyright struck.

1991
01:29:04,200 --> 01:29:06,200
Watching Angelic Lay here.

1992
01:29:08,200 --> 01:29:09,200
How many more episodes?

1993
01:29:09,200 --> 01:29:10,200
Five?

1994
01:29:10,200 --> 01:29:11,200
Five more episodes of the show?

1995
01:29:11,200 --> 01:29:13,200
That's going to be okay to say, right?

1996
01:29:13,200 --> 01:29:15,200
Do I need to cut that out?

1997
01:29:15,200 --> 01:29:16,200
No, you don't need to cut that out.

1998
01:29:16,200 --> 01:29:17,200
You're singing it.

1999
01:29:17,200 --> 01:29:18,200
Okay, well.

2000
01:29:18,200 --> 01:29:20,200
Bear you, so it's a parody.

2001
01:29:20,200 --> 01:29:21,200
I apologize for the singing.

2002
01:29:21,200 --> 01:29:23,200
How many more episodes are there?

2003
01:29:23,200 --> 01:29:24,200
24?

2004
01:29:24,200 --> 01:29:25,200
There's still more?

2005
01:29:25,200 --> 01:29:27,200
26 episodes.

2006
01:29:27,200 --> 01:29:28,200
We watched.

2007
01:29:28,200 --> 01:29:29,200
Wait, hold on.

2008
01:29:29,200 --> 01:29:30,200
We got 14 more.

2009
01:29:30,200 --> 01:29:31,200
We're not halfway.

2010
01:29:31,200 --> 01:29:32,200
I suck at math.

2011
01:29:32,200 --> 01:29:35,200
We're one step away from halfway.

2012
01:29:35,200 --> 01:29:36,200
Oh, dear.

2013
01:29:36,200 --> 01:29:37,200
I can't believe this.

2014
01:29:37,200 --> 01:29:38,200
That's embarrassing.

2015
01:29:38,200 --> 01:29:41,200
We have 14 more episodes of Angelic Lay,

2016
01:29:41,200 --> 01:29:45,200
which means we have seven more episodes of show Joe.

2017
01:29:45,200 --> 01:29:47,200
You divide 14 by two.

2018
01:29:47,200 --> 01:29:49,200
I was talking to me.

2019
01:29:49,200 --> 01:29:53,200
I hate math.

2020
01:29:53,200 --> 01:29:55,200
I refuse.

2021
01:29:55,200 --> 01:30:00,200
Well, anyway, so we're going to be watching episodes 13 and 14 next week,

2022
01:30:00,200 --> 01:30:03,200
and then we will be past the halfway point.

2023
01:30:03,200 --> 01:30:04,200
So that's good.

2024
01:30:04,200 --> 01:30:06,200
False promises were made last time.

2025
01:30:06,200 --> 01:30:08,200
It wasn't really.

2026
01:30:08,200 --> 01:30:09,200
That's my bad.

2027
01:30:09,200 --> 01:30:11,200
It's an odd number.

2028
01:30:11,200 --> 01:30:13,200
So there's no exact halfway point.

2029
01:30:13,200 --> 01:30:14,200
Line off.

2030
01:30:14,200 --> 01:30:15,200
I don't know what to say.

2031
01:30:15,200 --> 01:30:17,200
Until then, hold on.

2032
01:30:17,200 --> 01:30:19,200
I'm going to do this for real this time.

2033
01:30:19,200 --> 01:30:24,200
Don't let your five-year-old sister call you a spineless coward for not taking your friend out on a date.

2034
01:30:24,200 --> 01:30:26,200
It doesn't matter how many movies she watches.

2035
01:30:26,200 --> 01:30:31,200
So many people stop chiming in on your love life.

2036
01:30:31,200 --> 01:30:36,200
I'm so happy we've decided that Hotter Care just watches a bunch of movies.

2037
01:30:36,200 --> 01:30:39,200
Yeah, we're going to keep an eye on Aunt Shoko as well.

2038
01:30:39,200 --> 01:30:40,200
What else is she up to?

2039
01:30:40,200 --> 01:30:41,200
Aunt Shoko!

2040
01:30:41,200 --> 01:30:44,200
In her bondage room.

2041
01:30:44,200 --> 01:30:45,200
It's okay.

2042
01:30:45,200 --> 01:30:47,200
We still love her.

2043
01:30:47,200 --> 01:30:48,200
Oh yeah, no, it's good.

2044
01:30:48,200 --> 01:30:49,200
This makes it better.

2045
01:30:49,200 --> 01:30:50,200
Oh boy.

2046
01:30:50,200 --> 01:30:51,200
Okay.

2047
01:30:51,200 --> 01:30:53,200
That's that, you guys.

2048
01:30:53,200 --> 01:30:54,200
My god.

2049
01:30:54,200 --> 01:30:55,200
Fare thee well.

2050
01:30:55,200 --> 01:30:56,200
Fare thee well.

2051
01:30:56,200 --> 01:31:14,200
Until next time.
