1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:20,900
Wasn't that opening jingle so cute and catchy and got you all amped up to listen to your

2
00:00:20,900 --> 00:00:23,840
favorite anime podcast show, Joe?

3
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:30,840
Here's your host Sarah. That's me. Introduces my friend Joe.

4
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:35,840
That's me. Are we playing a new song?

5
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:42,840
No, I just didn't acknowledge it. I just tried to think of a different intro.

6
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:52,840
Introduce my friend Joe. Just show Joe anime. You guys have heard this spiel before. So that's

7
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:59,840
a cat. Let's see before we get into the episode. We'll catch up. We're recording a little early

8
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:07,840
because I am going to my first like ren fair thingamabob tomorrow morning with some friends

9
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:14,840
that I have met kind of once from Bumble has a BFF feature. So I like match with a girl

10
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:20,840
who had started this discord of all these chicks in the area of similar interest. So I like

11
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:25,840
win. Yeah, I went to like a game night with them once and this will be the second time

12
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:30,840
I do something with them. But I figured I'm going to try something new. So hopefully I'm

13
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,840
not like melting in the sun and angry and something.

14
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:39,840
It's like we're a big hat. Here's the problem.

15
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:46,840
Hats. That's that's restricting the, you know, heat escaping out of my head. So it gives

16
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:51,840
you know, covers my skin. But then, you know, it makes me hotter by wearing a hat like a

17
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:58,840
sun hat, like just like a big brim light hat. I don't have that. I'm lounge on the beach.

18
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:05,840
I've got like, like kind of cowboy hat that I wear for my Dr. Grant cosplay and I've got

19
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:11,840
like bucket hat and all cats. We'll see. I don't know. Yeah.

20
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:18,840
Carry around a parasol. I should do. Oh, boy. It's fine. I know. I know. Am I going to be

21
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:23,840
the only person dressed normally? No. Everyone's gonna be like, Oh, that hell's wrong with

22
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:32,840
that chick. Okay. Other than that, not much else new. That's different from last week.

23
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:40,840
I will say I've been hardcore playing Horizon Zero Dawn on my steam deck this week trying

24
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:46,840
to finish it so I can play for Ben West. And I'm playing Frozen Wild, the DLC for the

25
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:52,840
first time. So that's something new. Yeah. That's what I've kind of been doing. How about

26
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:57,840
you, Joe? You've got anything more exciting to report? I watched a movie. I watched an

27
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:05,840
anime movie called The Empire of Corses. I've never heard of it. Which is a it's a 26.

28
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:11,840
No, 2015 science fiction action horror anime. Okay, that's none of those. Well, it's just

29
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:17,840
an action show. It's like it's a story that takes place in a world where like Frankenstein

30
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:22,840
happened. He may he reanimated the you know, he made his monster or whatever. And then

31
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:29,840
that technology to like bring people back to life is like wide scale adopted amongst

32
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:37,840
all of the like major powers. And so you have zombie people basically doing like manual

33
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:43,840
labor and also being soldiers and like all this other stuff. And it takes like the story

34
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,840
is of this guy who like tries to bring his friend back to life. But it's like actually

35
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:54,840
trying to like construct the soul. And like he has this but opposite very much. So it's

36
00:03:54,840 --> 00:04:01,840
very similar like in that kind of planning or like the context for it. And like he has

37
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:09,840
to go get Victor Frankenstein's notes so he can learn the true essence of the soul, that

38
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:14,840
kind of thing. It's like ridiculous. It's like an insane. It's mostly just like a bunch

39
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:19,840
of action. It's like very action heavy. It's like crazy. Is it good? I don't know if it's

40
00:04:19,840 --> 00:04:24,840
good, but it is pretty entertaining. Did you watch this of your own volition or was this

41
00:04:24,840 --> 00:04:29,840
a group watch? This is a group watch. It's pretty good. It's like a fun. It's like a fun action

42
00:04:29,840 --> 00:04:34,840
movie, you know. Okay. I feel like most of the anime movies I've watched have been Sue

43
00:04:34,840 --> 00:04:40,840
jibbly, but there's been a few rando ones. Yeah, I mean, good ones like what's the name

44
00:04:40,840 --> 00:04:46,840
one, whatever that your name, your name is good. But this really is our one. I think my

45
00:04:46,840 --> 00:04:51,840
mom got it for me for like Easter one year or something, which as a grown adult, my mom

46
00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:57,840
is still trying to get me a damn Easter basket. And she does like little knickknack gifts

47
00:04:57,840 --> 00:05:02,840
that for each of us, but you know, whatever. And I normally either get or as a kid, I get

48
00:05:02,840 --> 00:05:07,840
like a shitty like Rugrats Gameboy game where it's like she like knows that I like that

49
00:05:07,840 --> 00:05:11,840
show. So she gets me to gain not knowing that games face off shows are typically bad, but

50
00:05:11,840 --> 00:05:16,840
it's sweet. But this movie, I don't know if you've heard of it. It's called the satellite

51
00:05:16,840 --> 00:05:27,840
girl and milk cow. And it is the most bizarre, strange movie ever. It's so weird. Oh, man.

52
00:05:27,840 --> 00:05:35,840
Wow, I'm looking at a picture that's a cow. Yeah, it's like a girl from space and a dude

53
00:05:35,840 --> 00:05:40,840
who turns into a cow. It's so weird. That sounds like a pretty good premise. No, it's

54
00:05:40,840 --> 00:05:47,840
bizarre. Oh, man. That's funny. Also, I guess I never finished Porco Roso. I didn't like

55
00:05:47,840 --> 00:05:53,840
that movie. Porco Roso is fun. Okay, see, I'm just a shallow or a fun. They're just like

56
00:05:53,840 --> 00:05:57,840
it's like watching a show, but it's a movie. This was crazy. This was the animation studio

57
00:05:57,840 --> 00:06:03,840
that did like the first three seasons of Attack on Titan. I guess that changed. Why did that

58
00:06:03,840 --> 00:06:09,840
change? What change the studio making Attack on Titan? I don't know. I don't know. I don't

59
00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:15,840
know. I don't know. It was popular production stuff. You know, maybe that's why there's such

60
00:06:15,840 --> 00:06:21,840
long breaks in between. It moves. It moved over to Mapa at some point, I think. You really

61
00:06:21,840 --> 00:06:27,840
do lend our podcasts all the credibility because you like pay attention to that stuff. You

62
00:06:27,840 --> 00:06:34,840
pay attention to animation studios and all this. I don't know, conceptual and all I can

63
00:06:34,840 --> 00:06:39,840
do is chime in with like, oh, when I was in Japan or I mean, I'm just looking this up.

64
00:06:39,840 --> 00:06:43,840
Her hair is done. Yeah, I don't know. I don't understand how this stuff gets made and why

65
00:06:43,840 --> 00:06:49,840
you would switch animation studios like midway through. I mean, if they did suck or if it's

66
00:06:49,840 --> 00:06:53,840
a living nightmare, I guess. Well, I mean, if not the product, but maybe working there

67
00:06:53,840 --> 00:06:59,840
sucked. Oh yeah, it sounds like working at all of them sucks. That's true. It kind of

68
00:06:59,840 --> 00:07:04,840
just sounds like like I follow on animators on like Twitter and stuff. And it kind of

69
00:07:04,840 --> 00:07:08,840
just sounds like really rough working conditions. Although people are like, it's doing I love

70
00:07:08,840 --> 00:07:15,840
and it's like, geez, I wish doing what you loved was better. Sustainable. Yeah. Yeah.

71
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:25,840
Yeah. That's too bad. Yeah. Yeah, I know, right? Like any I mean, I work at a game studio,

72
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:30,840
but maybe just from like the last place I worked at and the people there. But I'm like,

73
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:36,840
steer clear of anyone who's worked in the game industry or is into film and stuff because

74
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:41,840
they're just going to be super into like themselves and think that, you know, treating people terribly

75
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:48,840
is the cost you must pay to make a good thing. It just seems. Yeah, I mean, I'm on the rare

76
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:55,840
good end of things that I've seen the bad mildly. I'm sure it's so bad and big, big places.

77
00:07:55,840 --> 00:08:00,840
Yeah. That's what I did. Watch the anime movie. That's all you've done in the last week.

78
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:06,840
And I did other stuff. Nothing else in note or relevant. I mean, like, I'm so watching

79
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:11,840
Macross. That's really good. I'm watching Victor Gundam. That is all right. I don't know.

80
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,840
I'll go into more of that later when like stuff starts happening. I'm only like a third of

81
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:20,840
the way through those. Cool. And then do you want to get, I guess, just get into it? We've

82
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:26,840
got so good about trimming our andering discussions in the beginning. Now it's at the tail end.

83
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,840
We need to. Yeah, well, we're going to have a lot of talk about these episodes, I feel like.

84
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:35,840
Yeah, I mean, lots of notes. Oh, good. Oh, boy. Okay. Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

85
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:43,840
I have. I wanted to follow up on whatever happened with that high dive class action thingy.

86
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:49,840
I don't know. I don't think. Oh, no, you better follow up. Demand.

87
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,840
Let me see. Hi.

88
00:08:52,840 --> 00:09:00,840
Dive class action. Let's see if we can take time. Oh, I guess. It's been like two months. I don't know.

89
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:06,840
Maybe I'll hear about it again at some point. Maybe. Who knows. Okay. All right. Sorry. Back on track.

90
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:10,840
That's okay. I mean, you know, we can talk about it. You know, I did my taxes last weekend. You want to

91
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:16,840
talk about that? No, I don't even want to think Joe. Don't even get me started. Like, I think I just

92
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:24,840
file mine wrong every year. I'm probably like paying when I should be getting money back. I'm just too scared to not.

93
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:31,840
It's like, if I'm paying for something, then at least I'm not like, you know, being. They're not going to arrest you.

94
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:39,840
They're going to come after me. It's not like a huge deal. Oh, God. Well, because, oh, well, the streaming, right?

95
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:47,840
That's a different thing at the word. Oh, that's right. And then bringing health insurance. I have like a FSA situation.

96
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:55,840
So that's like a whole ordeal. And oh, God, at least for the first like time these last two years, I've only had one place

97
00:09:55,840 --> 00:10:04,840
award to worry about. Because I've always had like a bajillion jobs every year. Oh, boy. Oh, and then student loans and

98
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:13,840
math. It's so confusing. Like, even not, it's like, I'm not even having to do math, but like trying to comprehend

99
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,840
what they're trying to ask of me is very difficult.

100
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:24,840
Oh, all right. Well, that positive note, maybe we should get into the episode.

101
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,840
Yeah, let's take take my mind off that.

102
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:36,840
Okay. Okay. Angelic layer episode 17 is called I choose you. Misaki shows in person.

103
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:42,840
That's what it says on my Plex server. What actually shows up in the things says I've made up my mind on you. The one

104
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:46,840
Misaki selected, which is not as good.

105
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:51,840
I feel like that's closer to what it was for me. Like, they get wordy with these.

106
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:57,840
When they do a whole sentence, it's not that good. Okay. So at the top of this episode, I'm going to make a correction.

107
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:03,840
This is actually a correction for next episode, but it comes up this episode. So here we go. So up to this point, I have been

108
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:10,840
calling Shuko's friend, Sekiko, because that's what I thought her name tag said. In the episode after this one, Shuko

109
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:14,840
actually says her name and her name is Yuko, not Sekiko. Wow.

110
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:22,840
But it's the same kanji. It's the same exact spelling that spells Sekiko and Yuko. And Sekiko was the first result when I

111
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:28,840
searched it. So that's what I said. So like, you know, my bad. How am I supposed to know that?

112
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,840
All credibility gone.

113
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:38,840
I didn't check the wiki. And that is, and I also, so all the other names are right. So we're, you know, Fuji Mori, that's good.

114
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:44,840
Inada, that's good. Also, Inada is her husband and that's her also her last name. So I could have just said Inada for her too.

115
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:52,840
Just in case anybody was wondering about that. So I don't think anyone was, but just in case one Angelic Layer enthusiast

116
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,840
fanatic time to long someday.

117
00:11:55,840 --> 00:12:02,840
When you hear Yuko, just think Sekiko. A name that belongs to nobody.

118
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:11,840
Alright, episode 17. We open on Katara and Misaki on cleaning duty. Katara asks Misaki if she wants to see him do karate again

119
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:17,840
next Sunday, but before she can answer, Tamiyo like slams him to the ground, but really aggressively.

120
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,840
Wait, wait, this is where my slideshow comes. I wanted to show everyone.

121
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,840
Okay.

122
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,840
Sorry. Okay, so yeah, he's like talking to her all blushy, blushy.

123
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,840
That's just a picture of him talking.

124
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:35,840
Oh my God, he's getting his neck right. Dude, she destroys him. Oh my God, he's dead.

125
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:40,840
If you're listening to the podcast, I don't know what to tell you. She's like, she, she.

126
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:42,840
I'll post these photos.

127
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,840
She gets his neck in the crook of her elbow and she like slams him down.

128
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:47,840
Oh my God.

129
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:49,840
She like slams him. It's crazy.

130
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:54,840
Not doing well. Yeah, I'll post these to Instagram. I'm going to try and do this from now on.

131
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,840
Yikes. Okay. Anyway, don't interrupt my thing.

132
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,840
I'm sorry.

133
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:01,840
I got to find where I was.

134
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:07,840
She says that they're going to be busy having a party to celebrate Misaki's win at the tournament instead so we can't go on a date.

135
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,840
This surprise is Misaki who doesn't know anything about this.

136
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,840
They both tell her that she should do her best and become champion.

137
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:18,840
But then Hadoko shows up suddenly and says she won't be able to make it through nationals at her current level.

138
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:26,840
And then she explains that nationals uses like a round system like in boxing where like the match starts and then you play for three minutes and then you take a break and then you play for three months.

139
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:36,840
Or something. Also, you need a second on your team that can like help you strategize and repair your doll in between rounds and stuff.

140
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,840
And it would be good if she picked someone that she got along with.

141
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:44,840
We transition to Shoko and Shuko talking on the phone and Shoko tells her about the party for Misaki.

142
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,840
Shuko asserts that she's going to meet Misaki properly before nationals.

143
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,840
Then we cut to Misaki assembling a scrapbook of all her memories of the tournament.

144
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:57,840
And then we do another cut to Hadoko in pajamas watching old tournament matches and typing on her laptop.

145
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:03,840
Kataro comes in and asks if Misaki asked her to be her second yet and Hadoko says no not yet.

146
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:08,840
Then it's the next day and Tamayo, Kataro and Hadoko all arrive at the Shoko residence.

147
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:10,840
They have a ton of food and all five of them eat together.

148
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:15,840
Hadoko says that she knew Misaki would win because she could gauge her the best.

149
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:21,840
Kataro asks she's chosen her second yet and Misaki is about to ask Hadoko before she can finish the doorbell rings.

150
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:31,840
Shoko thinks it might be Shuko so she opens it but is surprised instead when it's Ringo who like does a party pop or like a right in her face.

151
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,840
Ringo brings over a bunch of gifts and is all around just like being extra and all over the place.

152
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:40,840
Also she has a hamster living under her hat that she named Misataro after Misaki.

153
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:44,840
This is a plot critical hamster by the way.

154
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:48,840
Then the doorbell rings again and we get a montage of visitors.

155
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:54,840
Sai and Kaede arrive together with gifts and Ojiro arrives with a bouquet of roses and then they all hang out.

156
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,840
Hadoko remembers that she has something to give Misaki and leads to go get it.

157
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,840
Ojiro asks Misaki if she's chosen a second and she hasn't.

158
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:07,840
Hearing this, Ringo volunteers just as Hadoko enters with her laptop and Misaki kind of like hesitantly agrees to consider it.

159
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,840
Ojiro also volunteers and everybody else says that they'd be happy to help out too.

160
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,840
Misaki says she's still gonna think about it and wonders where Hadoko went.

161
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:18,840
Hadoko thinking she got rejected goes and sulk's with her laptop in another room.

162
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,840
We cut to Shuko looking at a picture of Misaki.

163
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,840
Ichan enters and they talk about how hard Shuko has been working.

164
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:29,840
Shuko then apologizes to the picture of Misaki and says they're almost done with her work and she can see her soon.

165
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,840
And Ichan frowns having a way of hearing this.

166
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,840
He suggests that she call her on the phone, you know like a normal person,

167
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,840
but Shuko doesn't think she can like keep it together on the phone.

168
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:44,840
And then she leaves saying she's gonna go see Misaki, much to Ichan's surprise.

169
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:49,840
We cut back to the party where Kaye and Blanche are doing like a ventriloquist comedy routine,

170
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:51,840
which is pretty good actually.

171
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,840
Hadoko is sad and gets up to go to the bathroom.

172
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,840
Katara follows her and asks her what she's gonna do about Misaki.

173
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:02,840
And Haruko says that like she's not gonna do anything because it's just Misaki's choice.

174
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:08,840
When she comes back, she comes back to a scene of Shirahime and Wizard playing some kind of like weird game

175
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:10,840
where they hit each other with like a cartoon hammer.

176
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,840
Because it turns out Ojiro brought a mini-layer to give Misaki as a present

177
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:16,840
so that she can practice at home.

178
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:18,840
And Hadoko's like, yeah, that's cool.

179
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,840
Ojiro asks what the prize for winning the hammer game should be

180
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:26,840
and Ringo jokes that Misaki should have to kiss the winner, much to Katara's protests.

181
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:30,840
Sai interjects saying that she wouldn't want to be kissed by a woman because this show hits me.

182
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,840
Then Ojiro suggests that the winner should get to be Misaki's second.

183
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:38,840
Outside, Shoko has driven up to Shoko's apartment but hasn't gone in yet.

184
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:40,840
Back at base, Yuko asks...

185
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:45,840
I'm sorry, yeah, Yuko asks Ichon where Shoko is and he says that she's visiting Misaki.

186
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:50,840
Yuko asks why he didn't go with her and he says that she wanted to go alone

187
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,840
and then Yuko's like, obviously she wanted you to come with her, dude.

188
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:59,840
Like, go hang out with your girlfriend and Ichon is like surprised by this.

189
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:02,840
Back at the party, Ojiro is kicking everybody's ass at this weird game.

190
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:07,840
He asks if there are any more challengers after he beats Sai, I think.

191
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,840
Or no, he beats Ringo. He beats one of them.

192
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:12,840
Katara looks at Hadoko but she doesn't say anything.

193
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:17,840
So he asks Misaki to borrow Hikaru so he could give it a shot.

194
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:21,840
He gets ready and Shoko asks Misaki who she like actually wants to be her second.

195
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:25,840
Misaki hesitates and Shoko tells her that she's just like her mom in that way

196
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,840
but Shoko always eventually makes the decisions for herself.

197
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:30,840
So like, just hang in there, kid.

198
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,840
Katara and Ojiro start playing but it's the first time Katara has ever played Angelic Layer

199
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:35,840
so he can barely get Hikaru to move around.

200
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,840
Right before Wizard is gonna hit her with a hammer,

201
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,840
Ringo's hamster vaults off of Wizard and runs away.

202
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,840
Then we get a montage of everybody looking for the hamster.

203
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,840
Katara is about to check a room but he stops when Misaki tells him that it's her room

204
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:49,840
and that she and Hadoko will check it instead.

205
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:53,840
They spot the hamster behind a desk and they try to trap it but it runs under the bed.

206
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:57,840
They then both crawl under the bed and Misaki uses the opportunity to ask Hadoko to be her second.

207
00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:59,840
She agrees and they catch the hamster.

208
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:03,840
Misaki announced to the group that Hadoko will be her second and everybody agrees that that's a good choice.

209
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:08,840
Then they all jokingly assign themselves other roles for Team Misaki as the doorbell rings again.

210
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,840
Shoko answers it and is surprised to see Shoko.

211
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:17,840
Back in the party, Misaki reflects on all the good times she's had making real friends through Angelic Layer.

212
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:22,840
Shoko, now in crutches, sees her in the other room having a good time and decides to leave.

213
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:26,840
Shoko asks her why and Shoko says that she wants Misaki to see the hamster.

214
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:30,840
Misaki sees the version of her that's been trying her best for the last seven years,

215
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,840
not just showing up randomly at a party.

216
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:37,840
Shoko is just glad that she made a decision so she lets her go.

217
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,840
The doorbell keeps ringing and Misaki eventually goes and answers it.

218
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,840
It turns out it's Alice and Madoka and then a bunch of other random people.

219
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,840
Alice hands Misaki some flowers and says that she won't lose to her again.

220
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:51,840
Then Ojiro comes into shot to reveal that he posted a flyer at the practice arena to come and party.

221
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:53,840
Everybody has a big party as we cut to credits.

222
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,840
So I guess Shoko and Yuko, so their names rhyme.

223
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:01,840
Shuko and...damn it, are you serious? I didn't even think about that.

224
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:06,840
We have Shoko and Shoko and Shoko and Yuko. Come on!

225
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:10,840
It's like they knew one day we'd be struggling.

226
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:16,840
Ugh, god, the show. Why do they have to do that?

227
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:18,840
Okay, yeah, I have a lot of notes.

228
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:20,840
Okay, me too.

229
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:21,840
Good stuff is up to the side.

230
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:25,840
Yeah, so in the beginning, whether they're outside sleeping and...

231
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:30,840
Well, first off, sorry, I should have waited till now to do my little pictures, so...

232
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:32,840
Did you forgive me?

233
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,840
Yeah, that's fine.

234
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:39,840
But Karate is like the word.

235
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:41,840
It's the code word for date.

236
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:43,840
Want to go on another date with me?

237
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:45,840
I don't think Misaki understands that.

238
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,840
No, well, she starts blushing. She knows.

239
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:50,840
She knows. What's up?

240
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,840
Oh, man. Yeah, okay.

241
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,840
Yes, I will definitely post these photos to Instagram and our website.

242
00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:00,840
I think I'll try doing this so everyone can kind of get a peek at what the hell we're talking about.

243
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:05,840
You get a peek at Katara getting choked out. She's like dying in this screen cap.

244
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:09,840
Well, it's like something you wouldn't notice because the animation took quickly,

245
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:14,840
but I kind of saw glimpse of it and I was like, wait, then I rewound and I was like...

246
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:16,840
It's like an in-between thing.

247
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:21,840
Yeah, okay. So freaking... a toko just rolling up.

248
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:23,840
Just shows up.

249
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:27,840
You're not going to make it the way you are now.

250
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:31,840
Basically just talking her down like Si was the last episode.

251
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:35,840
No, I mean, this is not like she's like, listen, you're not going to make it as you are now.

252
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:39,840
You need to understand they randomly change the rules at nationals.

253
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,840
Why do they keep changing the rules?

254
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:44,840
I guess to make it more interesting.

255
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:46,840
Well, essentially we learned...

256
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:47,840
It's like such a ridiculous thing to do.

257
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:49,840
It's going to be in rounds.

258
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:53,840
To be in rounds, you have a second, which is like a person you talk to over the radio,

259
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:54,840
which we see next episode.

260
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:56,840
Like consultant kind of.

261
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:58,840
Yeah, like your coach, like your boxing coach.

262
00:20:58,840 --> 00:20:59,840
It just turned into boxing.

263
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:01,840
Mechanic too.

264
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:03,840
Yeah, also your mechanic. Like what?

265
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:07,840
Yeah, but yeah, toko first bring it up and then be like,

266
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,840
oh, you should probably pick someone who knows you well.

267
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,840
And basically she's just like, hint, hint, pick me.

268
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:20,840
And then very confident that that's going to happen because she's freaking already doing her homework on

269
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,840
Hikaru and all her stats and stuff.

270
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:24,840
Oh man.

271
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:26,840
I mean, she's right. Who else are you going to pick?

272
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:28,840
That's what I mean. Yes.

273
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:30,840
Ringo, she's better twice.

274
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:31,840
Yeah.

275
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:32,840
Ringo.

276
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:34,840
Don't just assume things just because you're...

277
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:39,840
Oh my God, Ringo brings a bunch of presents and they're all just Ringo things.

278
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:41,840
They're all just her own works.

279
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:42,840
Oh my God.

280
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:44,840
It's so funny.

281
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:46,840
Oh, Ringo's great.

282
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:48,840
You can't buy me love, Ringo.

283
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:49,840
Okay, I have some.

284
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:51,840
We get some good outfits this episode.

285
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,840
We get a toko and, or yeah, hot o'co and pajamas.

286
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:55,840
No, I hate her.

287
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:56,840
Oh, okay. I was going to say.

288
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:57,840
You don't like her pajamas?

289
00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:58,840
No, I don't like her dress.

290
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,840
Like, she's just wearing plain-ass light dress.

291
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:03,840
Everybody's casual outfits.

292
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:04,840
These are the notes I have.

293
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:05,840
Tamiyo.

294
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,840
America's flag top with midriff.

295
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:12,840
Kataro wearing two shirts.

296
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:13,840
Hot o'co.

297
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:15,840
Dressed like an orphan.

298
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,840
And then Misaki was just normal.

299
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:19,840
No, hers is cute.

300
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:23,840
Hers is cute little like kind of vintage dress.

301
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:24,840
Yeah, she's like a...

302
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:25,840
It has like sleigh.

303
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:26,840
No, it has a collar.

304
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:27,840
Peter Pan collar.

305
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:28,840
Yeah.

306
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:29,840
The cuff.

307
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:30,840
Yeah.

308
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:31,840
Why is Tamiyo wearing an American flag shirt?

309
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:36,840
Well, I'll have you know that this is my bit where I talked about when I was in Japan

310
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:37,840
that one time.

311
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:43,840
There's like a whole district in Tokyo shopping district that's like dedicated to western

312
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:44,840
apparel.

313
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:50,840
It's like called America or something, but it's like all 90s like Disney sweatshirts

314
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:51,840
and stuff.

315
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:52,840
Oh, okay.

316
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:53,840
It's probably a pop feeler.

317
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:55,840
That's just very weird.

318
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:56,840
Like I...

319
00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:00,840
Well, I kind of like how we're super, at least we see her super into Japanese culture,

320
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:02,840
but they seem pretty into...

321
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,840
Cause like Snoopy is the shit in Japan.

322
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:06,840
Right, but those are like mascots.

323
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:08,840
This is literally the flag of a nation.

324
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:14,280
No, I didn't, I went and there's just after Avengers Endgame came and they were like

325
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:18,340
blaring the theme songs throughout the streets with posters of it everywhere.

326
00:23:18,340 --> 00:23:21,840
I was like, damn, this is like a Marvel theme park or something.

327
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:23,840
Okay, but that's like a franchise.

328
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:24,840
It's like a media franchise.

329
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:26,840
This is a flag of a country.

330
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:27,840
I don't know.

331
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:31,840
I like the vibe of her outfit.

332
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:33,840
Oh yeah, she was the most casual.

333
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:34,840
Yeah.

334
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,840
Tommy and those have to be like a normal teen.

335
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:38,840
Yeah.

336
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:39,840
Oh my gosh.

337
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:41,840
Cause Tommy's just not wearing two shirts.

338
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:42,840
He keeps wearing two shirts.

339
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,840
Are you talking about where he does the slayer's?

340
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:47,840
The long sleeve under it?

341
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:48,840
That was like the thing.

342
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,840
That was the thing in the early 2000s.

343
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:53,840
Surely you did that at one point.

344
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:54,840
I did not do that.

345
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:55,840
He didn't do that.

346
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:56,840
Okay.

347
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:57,840
I always had style.

348
00:23:57,840 --> 00:23:58,840
But yeah, I don't know if it's too hot.

349
00:23:58,840 --> 00:23:59,840
It's not the best.

350
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:03,840
No, it's boring and she should be wearing a hat at all times.

351
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:04,840
Yeah.

352
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:05,840
It's just like a normal dress.

353
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:10,840
I mean, it's just like an orphan dress, but it's just because it's like white and it just drinks down.

354
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:11,840
Unremarkable.

355
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:12,840
Yeah.

356
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:13,840
There's like nothing on it really.

357
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:14,840
It's just like a.

358
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:15,840
Okay.

359
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:20,840
And then the part where Misaki's about to ask her and then gets like interrupted by the

360
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:21,840
doorbell.

361
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:23,840
Her toko like knows it's coming.

362
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,840
So she like takes a long sip of her tea first.

363
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:27,840
Okay.

364
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:28,840
Yes.

365
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:29,840
Tell me.

366
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:30,840
She's playing it cool.

367
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:32,840
She's like, I was like, how old are you?

368
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:34,840
She's not a five year old.

369
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:35,840
Look at me.

370
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:36,840
Yeah.

371
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:37,840
She's like, I'm an adult.

372
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:38,840
I know how to play it cool.

373
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,840
And then as soon as it goes back, she's like, oh no.

374
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:42,840
Yeah.

375
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,840
He loves me because she's five.

376
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:46,840
Oh dear.

377
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:47,840
It's great.

378
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:48,840
Oh man.

379
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:50,840
And toko's great.

380
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:57,840
And then when we see Shuko and she tells each one, hey, I'm going to go see Misaki.

381
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,840
I was like, his face is so unchanged.

382
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:01,840
He doesn't believe it.

383
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:02,840
Oh yeah.

384
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:03,840
I don't believe it.

385
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:04,840
So unimpressed.

386
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:05,840
No, I believe it.

387
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:06,840
Shuko, I'm sorry.

388
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:07,840
Shuko, I'm sorry.

389
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:08,840
Shuko, I'm sorry.

390
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:13,840
I love, I do love how nobody, everybody thinks this is dumb.

391
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:14,840
I know.

392
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:15,840
Like, I, okay.

393
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,840
I have some words about the people at the party though.

394
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:19,840
Yeah.

395
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:20,840
Ringo is a menace.

396
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:26,840
She has the same outfit on except she has a top hat, which she reveals the hamster under.

397
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,840
Kyanne and Sai, they arrive together.

398
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:30,840
Not holding hands.

399
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:31,840
They're not holding hands.

400
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:35,840
They're holding gifts and then Sai is going to do some shit that's going to disappoint

401
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:37,840
me, but they're just wearing their normal uniforms.

402
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,840
Nobody is, they don't have casual wear for some reason.

403
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:41,840
And neither does Ojiro.

404
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:46,240
He's also just in a normal uniform, which is weird because when we see like at the very

405
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,840
end we see Alice and Monika and they both have casual outfits.

406
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:50,840
Yes.

407
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:52,840
Like they don't get a second outfit.

408
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:53,840
Oh, lazy.

409
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:54,840
Lame.

410
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:55,840
Animation.

411
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:56,840
Lame.

412
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:57,840
Yeah.

413
00:25:57,840 --> 00:25:59,840
I guess maybe like they just wouldn't.

414
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:00,840
Maybe I don't know.

415
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,840
People are afraid they wouldn't be as recognizable or something.

416
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:05,840
I don't think they have other clothes.

417
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:07,840
I think that's all they got.

418
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:08,840
Maybe.

419
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:13,840
Kyanne, who's dad's a freaking CEO, probably just doesn't have any of her outfits.

420
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:14,840
Oh my gosh.

421
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:18,840
I could imagine Sai like opening her closet and it's just the cartoon thing, which is

422
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,840
the same outfit over and over again on hand.

423
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:22,840
100%.

424
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:23,840
That's a very hur thing.

425
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:24,840
Yeah.

426
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:25,840
She can't be bothered.

427
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:29,840
She's too cool to worry about what she's going to wear.

428
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:30,840
Oh yeah.

429
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:31,840
Sorry.

430
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,840
I was just like, Kyanne with the blanche puppeteering.

431
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:35,840
Oh my God.

432
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:37,840
That is so goofy.

433
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:39,840
Like it's great.

434
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:41,840
It's so weird.

435
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:43,840
Sai's seems kind of into it.

436
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:47,840
It's like very funny how Kyanne is like introduced as like, ooh, she's like the cool girl.

437
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:48,840
She's like nice.

438
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,840
And now she's like, yeah, she's super lame.

439
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:53,840
Talking through her doll.

440
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:54,840
It's great.

441
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:55,840
Oh, God.

442
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:56,840
It was funny.

443
00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:04,840
They're commentary on Ojiro's bouquet is very funny because Kyanne is like a bouquet is

444
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:08,840
a standard gift for girls and Sai's like it's good because it doesn't last.

445
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:09,840
Yeah.

446
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:11,840
Why are you talking like this?

447
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,840
I hate flowers as they're depressing.

448
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:15,840
I'm depressing.

449
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:16,840
They're dying.

450
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:18,840
So it's not the flowers.

451
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:20,840
No, they're going to die regardless.

452
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:21,840
Oh my God.

453
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,840
I hate this is a lie.

454
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:25,840
It's inevitable.

455
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:27,840
You're a pet owner.

456
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:28,840
How is it?

457
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:34,840
Because the pets limbs haven't been chopped off and you know, put in a bouquet.

458
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:36,840
I don't they're depressing.

459
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:37,840
They're just sad.

460
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:38,840
I hate it.

461
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:40,840
If it's like a potted plant, sure.

462
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:45,840
Although my grandma got me one of those and I like utterly sucked at maintaining it.

463
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:47,840
I think it brought fruit flies into my place.

464
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:49,840
But it's the fact that counts.

465
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:53,840
Or cats will try to eat it or fair.

466
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:58,840
Like the pot over, you know, I just yeah, I'll take care of the animals and nature

467
00:27:58,840 --> 00:27:59,840
can just do it.

468
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:05,840
Don't think I said it was funny when Ringo like volunteers to like, oh, I can be your

469
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:06,840
second.

470
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:08,840
I was like, don't you have to like be an idol?

471
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:12,840
And she's like, no, I cleared my entire schedule for the finals because I thought

472
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:16,840
I was going to be in it and not get eliminated round one of the qualifiers.

473
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:17,840
Yeah.

474
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:19,840
That is embarrassing.

475
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:21,840
She got wrecked so hard.

476
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,840
Like just like her entire schedule for the next month.

477
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:25,840
Oh my gosh.

478
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:26,840
Yeah.

479
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:28,840
I was like, when, okay, it's pretty exciting.

480
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:30,840
I wouldn't want to kiss her.

481
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:31,840
Oh my God.

482
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:32,840
I'm so mad.

483
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:33,840
I'm so mad.

484
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:34,840
Sorry.

485
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:36,840
This is the direct quote.

486
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:38,840
I certainly wouldn't be happy being kissed by a woman.

487
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:39,840
Shut up.

488
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:44,840
Well, Ringo does give her a face like, are you sure?

489
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:48,840
Listen, listen.

490
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:52,840
She's never interacted with another human, but she's been, she's been, she's talked

491
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:53,840
to one person her entire life.

492
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:57,840
She doesn't know if she wants to get kissed by a girl or not.

493
00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,840
I bet she hasn't kissed anybody.

494
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:00,840
Yeah, true.

495
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:04,840
And then she's like, I don't know.

496
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:05,840
Could happen.

497
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:06,840
Maybe.

498
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:07,840
Yeah.

499
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:08,840
I could see that.

500
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,840
What the little, it's like a rock, paper, scissors game, right?

501
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:17,840
Jerry O'Grupe brings essentially a at home little practice layer which has got to be

502
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:18,840
so expensive.

503
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:19,840
It's not.

504
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:20,840
Oh yeah.

505
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:21,840
He said it was custom.

506
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:25,840
Yeah, it's not like a thing you can buy, but it's got to be so expensive.

507
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:34,840
And how did, he, he wasn't carrying anything, but okay, where'd that thing come from?

508
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:35,840
It was in his car.

509
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:40,840
And he puts a sign up at pithal princess saying, come celebrate at her house.

510
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,240
her house.

511
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:47,880
She has some insane stalker fans that now know she lives.

512
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:51,000
It's such an unhinged thing to do. Oh, my God.

513
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:55,240
She lives there. Are you saying it's so good.

514
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:56,960
That's safe. Yeah.

515
00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:00,360
This weird hammer game they play, it seems like you play rock, paper, scissors

516
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:04,960
and whoever wins the game is like if you can grab the hammer and hit them on the

517
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,880
head with it before they can grab like a little.

518
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:11,280
Well, I think it's like what you over their head.

519
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:13,840
You're like you try to bonk them for they like can cover their head.

520
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,400
Yeah. Yes.

521
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:17,440
Which is very goofy.

522
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,560
I know I like I think this is a thing you can play like people play in real life.

523
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:22,360
And this is just like we're making the angels play.

524
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:23,800
It isn't that fun. Yeah.

525
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:27,080
And it is. It's fun, especially because like the hammer and the plate are like

526
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:31,640
enormous to be like hammers that make a squishy sound when you hit.

527
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:32,640
Yeah. Yeah.

528
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:34,440
It's like a little dot hammer.

529
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,360
Yeah. I can't believe I said that.

530
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:40,880
I'm so mad. I was like, OK, just because it's in the last episode, I was like,

531
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:42,800
oh, yeah, hey, they're like they're pretty gay.

532
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:44,760
And it's like, no, we got to say to the.

533
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:47,640
Don't I know I don't like women on site.

534
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:48,560
I don't want to be kissed.

535
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:50,080
Ew. Kissing is gross.

536
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:51,440
Shut up.

537
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:56,480
OK, it doesn't seem like when they're under the bed looking for the hamster

538
00:30:56,480 --> 00:31:00,640
that almost is like a proposal because they're both fleshy.

539
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:05,080
And then the sockies like, well, you with me, you know, dot, dot, dot.

540
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,320
Yeah, I mean, it is. Yeah.

541
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:10,960
But yeah, they definitely do that where it's like an intimate moment.

542
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,720
Yes. OK. And then I have my next screenshot.

543
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:15,880
It's like it's like they're getting married.

544
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,920
Like it's like they're presenting to their family.

545
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:20,000
It's so funny.

546
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:25,200
This is like when they're like informing families that you're a couple is by,

547
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,880
you know, sitting across from them like exactly like this photo.

548
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,080
It's it's man.

549
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:35,600
Misaki and it's OK, they're both like sitting next to each other.

550
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,320
And this is when the sockies announced to the group that it's going to be her second.

551
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,320
And she's like leaning over and putting her hands on it.

552
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:46,920
And life like you're announcing that you're going to like get married.

553
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:50,240
And it's like ridiculous.

554
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:54,440
Oh, my gosh.

555
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:56,200
Yeah. And then OK.

556
00:31:56,200 --> 00:32:00,000
But speaking of that, speaking of people who in relationships,

557
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:05,320
you go being like each time, why did you not go with Shuko to see Misaki?

558
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:07,960
You obviously like she was like, oh, I'll go by myself.

559
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,600
Dude, you should have gone with her. Come on.

560
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:14,120
Well, I don't think that they're a couple.

561
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:18,040
Like I think like she knows he's into her.

562
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,080
And I think everyone knows he's into her.

563
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:23,680
But I feel like she's probably just like everything else in her life.

564
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,560
She's like, I can't do anything but Jellicleyer until we.

565
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:30,800
Oh, she's like, I can totally see her like putting that off,

566
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:34,480
like maybe confess and she's like, I'll I'll let you know.

567
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,320
Oh, blah, blah, blah or something.

568
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,840
Yeah. Well, this whole episode is like you be decisive until you make a decision.

569
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,720
Freaking for real. Oh, my gosh.

570
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:48,960
And then, yeah, the last group of people coming with Madoka and Alice.

571
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:54,240
We've got we we've got Misaki Ryu from the guy.

572
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:55,880
Oh, yeah. The three angels.

573
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:59,120
He was in the background and that's a random chick from the class.

574
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:02,280
Yeah, sad to see there's no Maria there.

575
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:05,360
She makes a cameo next. Yeah, I know.

576
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:07,800
I was like, yeah.

577
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:11,800
Let's see. I have guitars being like a cool brother this episode.

578
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,120
Like, yeah, I work this episode.

579
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:19,480
That's right. Trying to make it or give sister who's so mean to him.

580
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,640
Some confidence being like, oh, I'll challenge

581
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:26,560
Ojiro at this game. I definitely can't win because she's not going to do it.

582
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:27,760
That was pretty good.

583
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:28,760
Pretty good. We like it.

584
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,320
We like it when Katara gets stuff to do and he gets to be a cool guy

585
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:34,480
instead of just being like a dude who gets out every episode.

586
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,760
He almost goes into Misaki's room and she like tackles him.

587
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:38,680
Oh, yeah.

588
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:40,560
And everybody.

589
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:42,240
He's supposed to know that.

590
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:43,640
Yeah, I know.

591
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:46,720
I don't. Yeah, I don't know.

592
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:50,000
Misaki talks about how she made all her real life friends through Angelic Lair,

593
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,800
the best sport ever. Mm hmm.

594
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:56,080
Oh, also, OK, so the part where Shuko is like, you know, like see,

595
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:57,680
she like comes inside.

596
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:00,000
She she brings crutches.

597
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,160
So she certainly she gets herself up on crutches to go see Misaki

598
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:06,000
because she is super draws herself there.

599
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:08,320
Yeah, she can drive, I guess.

600
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:10,240
Yeah, she could. Why wouldn't she be able to drive?

601
00:34:10,240 --> 00:34:11,240
Well, I don't know.

602
00:34:11,240 --> 00:34:15,920
Like if her feet are people and wheelchairs can drive cars.

603
00:34:16,240 --> 00:34:17,800
They have they have cars I can drive.

604
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,600
I guess if it's yeah, maybe it's like a custom one or something.

605
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:23,160
Yeah, yeah, yeah, they make cars like do that.

606
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,560
But yeah, she really doesn't want Misaki specifically to see her

607
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,400
in a wheelchair, which is interesting because like she never cares

608
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,600
any any other time. Yeah.

609
00:34:30,720 --> 00:34:31,200
You know what I mean?

610
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:32,960
Like she was just like hanging out outside.

611
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,080
Like it's just care of other people see her in a wheelchair

612
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:37,480
and specifically Misaki for some reason.

613
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:41,720
Maybe when Misaki was like three, she was she saw someone in a wheelchair

614
00:34:41,720 --> 00:34:43,800
and she's like, mom, that's weird.

615
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:45,880
Why would and then she just.

616
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,080
Yeah, I don't think that happened.

617
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:50,480
It's just like this is an interesting thing where it's like this

618
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:52,880
specifically is the problem.

619
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:58,520
Well, we all know how I feel about Shuko, so I won't even get into it.

620
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,560
I mean, she decided like she makes a decision that she's going to see her

621
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:04,680
and like that's fine. And like, yeah, I'm OK with this.

622
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:07,480
I'm OK with this because it's literally tomorrow.

623
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:10,240
It's the next day. Oh, my God.

624
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:13,240
It's OK. She's going to see her tomorrow.

625
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:14,920
That's all I got for this episode.

626
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,040
Yeah, me too. Pretty good episode.

627
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:18,240
Fun to see everybody hang out.

628
00:35:18,240 --> 00:35:23,040
I wish Kaye Day and Sai got casual clothes and also Ojiro.

629
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:25,320
Ojiro is just kind of a weird guy still.

630
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:26,320
Well, it is hard.

631
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:30,720
I guess he must have been wearing his uniform with the umbrella scene as well.

632
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:32,640
Yep. He's always a uniform.

633
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:34,800
I've ever seen him not in it.

634
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,240
Weak. People should be in casual clothes more often.

635
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:39,600
Yeah, they are.

636
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:41,440
Yeah, for the most part now.

637
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:44,840
It wasn't that many anime back then that were on top of it.

638
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:48,320
At least the main character has different clothes.

639
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:49,760
Yeah, Masaki's got an outfit.

640
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:50,760
That's good. Yeah.

641
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:52,360
Got a wardrobe. OK.

642
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:56,480
Episode 18 is called Lots of formidable opponents.

643
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,320
The much anticipated national tournament.

644
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,160
We open on Athena doing a bunch of dance moves.

645
00:36:02,240 --> 00:36:05,760
Yuko comes in and asks Shuko why she hasn't gone home yet.

646
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:11,080
And Shuko asks for 30 more minutes and Yuko is like, OK, fine.

647
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:14,800
And then we get the reveal that her name is in second code to Yuko.

648
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,600
And I was like, oh, my God.

649
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:22,120
And then we also learned that she that Yuko has a son named Osamu.

650
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:23,440
And it's his birthday today.

651
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:25,560
And Yuko should go celebrate that.

652
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:28,080
But she says he's already asleep because it's 11 p.m.

653
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:31,840
Because she stayed till work at 11 p.m. on her son's birthday.

654
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:32,640
What's going on?

655
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:35,960
And she goes like, you should go home anyway because you're his mom.

656
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:38,240
And she's like, all right, so she goes home.

657
00:36:38,240 --> 00:36:40,760
We get a cut to Masaki sleeping in a transition

658
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:44,520
to Shoko drinking on her couch, thinking about how Masaki and Shuko

659
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:46,040
are going to meet each other tomorrow.

660
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:49,080
It's the next day and we get a montage of the tournament getting started.

661
00:36:49,240 --> 00:36:51,480
Tamayo and Kataru are in the stands.

662
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:55,400
Tamayo asks Kataru if he's jealous that Ojiro is with Masaki right now.

663
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:58,640
And then she does like a little comedy bit with Masaki and Ojiro.

664
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:01,480
Hand puppets she made because she's only up in her game.

665
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:04,720
An announcer calls the players in, but Masaki can't find Hotoko.

666
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:07,240
Ojiro grabs her hand and leaves her to the arena.

667
00:37:07,240 --> 00:37:10,520
She asks him why he isn't worried and or like

668
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:14,560
nervous and he tells her to lick her wrist and then smell it, which she does.

669
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:16,640
And then he's like, no, that was just I was just kidding.

670
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:19,240
That was just a joke to like relax you.

671
00:37:19,240 --> 00:37:21,320
We all go into the arena elsewhere.

672
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:24,240
Ogata is freaking out because Shuko isn't there.

673
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:28,400
Each hand in the gang starts scrambling as Yuko worries about Shuko's health.

674
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:33,000
In the tournament arena, Masaki is surprised to see Sai and Kaede standing with them.

675
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:37,600
Hotoko explains that the runner up Sai also gets a spot at Nationals

676
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:41,080
and that Kaede is her second, which means my ship hasn't sunk yet.

677
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:43,000
She's your second. Think about that.

678
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:46,240
I want you to think about that, Sai. I want you to think about your second.

679
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:49,280
God, the opening ceremony starts without Shuko.

680
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:52,280
We get shots of all of our old friends in the crowd

681
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:55,720
and then all the competitors are introduced and they all do their entry

682
00:37:55,720 --> 00:37:58,960
angels into the layer of the thing where they say the little phrase

683
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:00,840
and then the angel throws in.

684
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:04,560
The announcer tells everybody that the champion will be introduced by video

685
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:06,520
and the crowd starts throwing stuff at him.

686
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:10,200
And then the real life Athena descends from the ceiling

687
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:13,240
and Shuko is revealed to be there in person after all.

688
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:17,920
Masaki is amazed to see the champion and everybody else is impressed to see her as well,

689
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:19,760
except for Sai, who looks bored.

690
00:38:20,240 --> 00:38:25,120
Hotoko tells Masaki that everyone admires the champion because she's genuine and authentic.

691
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:30,360
The Queen of Queens ruling over all the Daes is Athena's Daes.

692
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:34,240
Shuuu, because they all call her Shuu, I guess.

693
00:38:34,240 --> 00:38:37,520
We cut to Shuko returning to the control room where she runs into Yuko,

694
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:39,440
who's pissed for making her worry.

695
00:38:39,720 --> 00:38:41,320
She asks Shuko how long...

696
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:45,120
Or she... Yeah, she asks Shuko how long she'd been practicing that little stunt last night.

697
00:38:45,240 --> 00:38:48,960
And Shuko says, oh, you know, I was doing that up until like a little while ago.

698
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:51,080
And Yuko yells at her for pulling it all nighter.

699
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:54,280
Also, she's like her second, so that's that's who her second is.

700
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:58,320
She makes Shuko change into pajamas and then orders Ichon to make sure that she actually, like,

701
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:01,360
gets some sleep before a match she has to play pretty soon.

702
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:05,800
While they're on their way to, like, a bedroom, Ichon asks her if Masaki saw her.

703
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:08,840
And Shuko says that she did, but she didn't seem to recognize her,

704
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:11,280
which is fine, because she'll figure it out eventually.

705
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:16,280
Back at the tournament, we get the start of a fight between Shirohime and her opponent, Eagle,

706
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:19,560
who's wearing like a crazy looking hat that covers her whole head

707
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:21,120
and makes her look like a Cyclops.

708
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:24,160
Also, she has angel wings. This is gonna come up soon.

709
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:25,560
They start fighting in the forest.

710
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:29,840
Eagle is jumping all over the place on the branches, which Shirohime can't do because she's too heavy.

711
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:32,280
Shirohime punches a tree, which makes Eagle fall,

712
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:36,280
but then she uses her wings to grunt and to glide around and hit Shirohime from the air.

713
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:38,680
Over the radio, Kaede comes up with the plan.

714
00:39:38,720 --> 00:39:43,760
After taking 50% damage, Shirohime goes into hyper mode and starts destroying the whole forest.

715
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:47,960
With debris everywhere in the air, Eagle loses track of Shirohime, who appears behind her,

716
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:53,240
and then she grips her face and slams her into the ground in, like, the most brutal fashion possible,

717
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:54,600
winning the match.

718
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:59,040
Hanoko says that Shirohime is also a first-gen angel, and Kaede told her how to use hyper mode,

719
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:00,640
because why not?

720
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:05,080
Then, Shirohime dramatically points a finger at where the champion sits, challenging her,

721
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:08,320
because we're just doing actual pro-wrestling stuff now.

722
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:10,320
In the next match, Shuko...

723
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:13,600
uh, fights an angel that's dressed up like a bunny rabbit.

724
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:16,520
This goes about as exactly how you think it willed.

725
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:21,640
Athena is ridiculous and does ballet moves, and everybody gets all flustered because it's so beautiful.

726
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:26,640
Then, she does something that causes an electric discharge and starts approaching her opponent,

727
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:31,400
who tries to attack her, but Athena dodges it instantly like she's a Dragon Ball Z character.

728
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:36,680
Then, she picks her opponent up and does a backbreaker, which is also a pro-wrestling move, winning her match.

729
00:40:36,720 --> 00:40:42,000
We cut to Hanoko and Misaki sitting at a bench at an amusement park, still in shock over Athena's fight.

730
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:46,240
Hanoko says that Athena looks even better than when she lost to her last year in the semifinals.

731
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:50,960
Misaki talks to her about, uh, how Athena got her into Angelic Layer in the first place,

732
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:53,000
as they go on some weird ride together.

733
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:57,200
Then, they promise to face Athena again together as we cut to credits.

734
00:40:57,240 --> 00:40:58,760
Ooh.

735
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:00,000
What is going on?

736
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:01,600
Why are we just doing pro-wrestling now?

737
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:04,800
It's like, I mean, it's good. It's just like all of a sudden...

738
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:08,040
Yeah, um, good episode.

739
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:10,000
Like, I mean, Lops going on.

740
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:11,200
Uh...

741
00:41:11,240 --> 00:41:13,840
Yeah, lots of action. I know you love that. I knew you'd love this episode.

742
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:14,840
Yes, I do love that.

743
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:15,720
See, two fights.

744
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:17,800
Save me from last episode.

745
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:19,080
You didn't like last episode?

746
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:21,400
No, no, last... Yes, it was fine.

747
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:27,360
Okay, it's friggin' the beginning where Shuko's telling Yuko...

748
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:28,400
Yuko?

749
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:31,840
Hey, you're his mom. What are you doing here?

750
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:34,200
Like, go be with your kid.

751
00:41:34,240 --> 00:41:35,400
And I'm like, you are...

752
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:39,800
Ivercret, like, who are you to say that?

753
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:42,800
Yeah, but Yuko should actually go.

754
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:44,400
I mean, she's right. It's the thing.

755
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:45,400
Yes.

756
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:46,200
This is the thing.

757
00:41:46,240 --> 00:41:48,400
Yuko understands how to be a good parent.

758
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:50,400
She just isn't doing it.

759
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:52,400
She just chooses not to be.

760
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:55,400
She's got hang-ups about it. These are real hang-ups, okay?

761
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:58,400
We're extending some sympathy to Shuko here.

762
00:41:58,440 --> 00:41:59,400
You are.

763
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:00,400
I am.

764
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:01,400
You are.

765
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:02,400
Not me.

766
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:03,400
Not me.

767
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:05,400
They shouldn't be at work at 11 p.m.

768
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:06,400
They need to go home.

769
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:08,400
Each one needs to make them go home.

770
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:09,400
For real?

771
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:11,400
Oh, man.

772
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:15,400
Uh, it's been a while since we got Shuko...

773
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:16,400
Yes!

774
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:17,400
Fuck.

775
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:18,400
Shoko!

776
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:19,400
Shoko drinking a drink.

777
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:20,400
Shoko drinking a drink.

778
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:21,400
Shaking.

779
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:22,400
I have that. That's my note.

780
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:24,400
Drinking a hard drink. Let's go.

781
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:26,400
That's right. That's right.

782
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:28,400
Knocking one back, my girl.

783
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:31,400
Talking to herself.

784
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:32,400
Talking to herself.

785
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:36,400
Lamenting the situation between her sister and her niece.

786
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:37,400
Mm-hmm.

787
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:38,400
Yeah, that's gonna be tough.

788
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:39,400
I'm also there.

789
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:42,400
I'm also, like, knocking back one, thinking about it too, you know?

790
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:43,400
Let's see.

791
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:45,400
I was just eating pickles while I was watching this.

792
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:48,400
That's disgusting. I don't want to hear about that.

793
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:49,400
What?

794
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:52,400
At the... When they do the tournament stuff,

795
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:55,400
there's like a montage of, like, the...

796
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:57,400
Like, the chicks that dress up as an angel.

797
00:42:57,440 --> 00:42:59,400
And then there's, like, one where the announcer guy

798
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:02,400
is, like, signing autographs in the light.

799
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:03,400
Yeah.

800
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:05,400
I have no problem with heights, which is very funny,

801
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:07,400
because he's, like, in that big chair that, like,

802
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:10,400
it's rotoscoped up and down and things like that.

803
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:12,400
Or, like, whatever gets lifted up and down.

804
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:14,400
So, just, like, that's pretty funny.

805
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:16,400
Yes. That was good.

806
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:19,400
And then freaking Tamoya with the puppet.

807
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:21,400
She's saying puppets.

808
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:22,400
Misaki puppet.

809
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:24,400
And then there's the Ojiro puppet.

810
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:25,400
She does little faces.

811
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:27,400
And she, like, has different-looking faces for when she's talking,

812
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:28,400
as each of them.

813
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:30,400
Like, she's got little stars in her eyes,

814
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:34,400
like, all 80s showjo dude talking as Ojiro.

815
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:35,400
It was really funny.

816
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:36,400
It's great.

817
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:38,400
I love that she prepped these in advance

818
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:40,400
for the photo of Katara.

819
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:41,400
God.

820
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:43,400
She must be thinking about Katara a whole bunch, huh?

821
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:44,400
Ah, yeah. You think so?

822
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:46,400
Are we ever going to circle back to that?

823
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:47,400
Probably not.

824
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:48,400
I don't know.

825
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:49,400
Oh, come on.

826
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:50,400
We have to.

827
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:51,400
We have enough episodes.

828
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:52,400
I don't remember.

829
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:54,400
There's eight more episodes.

830
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:55,400
Gotta come up again.

831
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:57,400
My next note is that all the daisies are women,

832
00:43:57,440 --> 00:43:59,400
except for Ojiro, so...

833
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:00,400
Yes.

834
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:02,400
Who do you think- I was going to say,

835
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:03,400
who has more fangirls?

836
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:05,400
Psy or Ojiro?

837
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:07,400
I don't know.

838
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:09,400
Well, wait for his fight,

839
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:12,400
because, like, during Psy's fight, like, she or anything,

840
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:15,400
he gets hit and all the girls are like, oh, no, Psy!

841
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:16,400
Yep, yep, yep.

842
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:17,400
So we'll wait for Ojiro's fight

843
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:20,400
that I'm sure he'll have on screen at one point.

844
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:23,400
The fact that he makes Misaki, he's like, I know a spell.

845
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:25,400
Lick your wrists and then smell them.

846
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:26,400
He's so weird.

847
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:31,400
Like, I can see how he's related to Ichon now.

848
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:32,400
You saying about him?

849
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:33,400
You said he's so dense?

850
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:35,400
She's so dense.

851
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:37,400
It's like when boys try to tell you, like,

852
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:39,400
ooh, put your elbows together,

853
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:42,400
so you boob squish together, it's like that.

854
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:43,400
Okay, it's kind of not like that.

855
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:47,400
Well, essentially, like, let me talk to this girl

856
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:50,400
and make her do something to make herself, like, silly.

857
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:51,400
They're friends!

858
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:52,400
They were hanging out last episode.

859
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:54,400
So are they?

860
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:57,400
He gave her address out to the general public.

861
00:44:57,440 --> 00:44:58,400
Ah!

862
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:00,400
Also, if people know that Shoko is her aunt,

863
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:03,400
then maybe she's got some crazy fans, too,

864
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:04,400
because she's a newscaster.

865
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:07,400
He can't just give their address out.

866
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:10,400
Ah! No regard for safety.

867
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:12,400
Okay, this is a cartoon.

868
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:14,400
I'd be one to worry about this.

869
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:15,400
I'm worried.

870
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:18,400
These are not things people would do in real life.

871
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:19,400
I hope so.

872
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:20,400
I sure hope so.

873
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:23,400
Speaking of things you shouldn't do in real life,

874
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:25,400
Shoko making everybody worried just so she can have

875
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:28,400
like this big dramatic entrance is so funny.

876
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:32,400
I was like, God, I wouldn't want her to be a champion.

877
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:33,400
She's so unreliable.

878
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:36,400
She's such a little gremlin, it's great.

879
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:37,400
Oh, my God.

880
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:39,400
Yes, we get to see Maria finally.

881
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:40,400
Yeah, Maria cameo.

882
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:42,400
Misaki doesn't know that Sai is going to be there.

883
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:45,400
Like, did you just not ask, like, talk about it

884
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:47,400
when you were hanging out the other day?

885
00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:48,400
Yes, I, yeah.

886
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:51,400
So, yeah, there's more Sai action.

887
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:52,400
Sai and Kaine, tell me again.

888
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:53,400
Let's go.

889
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:54,400
Let's go.

890
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:55,400
Okay?

891
00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:56,400
Sai-e-de!

892
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:58,400
When you two both challenge Shoko,

893
00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:00,400
who it turns out is Misaki's mom.

894
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:03,400
I'm sure that'll be fun for everybody to learn.

895
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:05,400
You know, just think about it.

896
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:07,400
Like, who you came all this way with, Sai?

897
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:08,400
Just think about it.

898
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:09,400
Like, who's your second?

899
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:10,400
What does that mean?

900
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:11,400
She taught you, dude.

901
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:15,400
Dude, Sai, she taught you about hyper mode.

902
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:17,400
She's so into you.

903
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:19,400
Come on!

904
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:22,400
I like that the opponent is a gal.

905
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:23,400
Oh, my God.

906
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:24,400
A gal!

907
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:25,400
It's a gal.

908
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:30,400
There's like, okay, so there's girls who, you know,

909
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:33,400
okay, Japan being reserved and, you know,

910
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:37,400
being super pale, that's like what's considered attractive women.

911
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:41,400
But there's like a subsection of girls who are like super into tanning

912
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:44,400
and bleaching their hair and, you know, all this stuff.

913
00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:46,400
And they're called like gals.

914
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:48,400
There's like the Japanese word for it.

915
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:50,400
I am unfamiliar with this.

916
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:53,400
It's like the, typically they're like the delinquent girls in class

917
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:54,400
or perceived that way.

918
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:58,400
Yaru is the, it's like a fashion subculture.

919
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:02,400
Oh, I guess the literal translation is English language.

920
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:05,400
English slang for the word gal.

921
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:08,400
But yeah, it's like, I don't know, you know, the kind of girls who

922
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:11,400
would wear piercings if they're not allowed to

923
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:14,400
or paint their nails and hide their skirts up.

924
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:17,400
There's a whole show called Super Gals.

925
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:20,400
I have a poster I'm looking at right now.

926
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:22,400
Maybe that's a show we'll cover someday.

927
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:24,400
It's like a whole thing.

928
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:25,400
They just kind of look cool.

929
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:31,400
Yeah, well, they're kind of like frowned upon by the general population

930
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:32,400
as being troublemakers or not.

931
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:33,400
They're so lame.

932
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:37,400
They remind me of a, what's that one group?

933
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:38,400
Twisted sister?

934
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:40,400
Is that the one I like dressed up like crazy?

935
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:41,400
The band?

936
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:44,400
Yeah, they look like twisted sister a little bit.

937
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:45,400
That's good.

938
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:46,400
That's fun.

939
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:48,400
Oh man, yeah, yeah, I like that.

940
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:49,400
Like punk scenes.

941
00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:50,400
That's good. Yeah.

942
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:51,400
That's cool.

943
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:55,400
Each one does comment that like these wings are new because of now

944
00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:59,400
with the arena that's in there, you can like actually get some height

945
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:01,400
and like fly around.

946
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:02,400
Yeah, people are adjusting.

947
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:08,400
Well, I like, yeah, like, oh, that's, that's not something she did at whatever game she was before.

948
00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:14,400
It's nice to see that they're keeping up with everyone and not just focusing on whoever Masaki goes against.

949
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:16,400
They are the organizer of this whole thing.

950
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:17,400
So, right.

951
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:22,400
Um, when Shuko goes back and Yuko is so mad, it's so funny.

952
00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:24,400
She's like fuming.

953
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:32,400
She's like, are you seriously, you made me worry about you and you stayed up all night doing this stupid little entry thing.

954
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:33,400
Come on.

955
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:37,400
She like makes her like put on pajamas and she gives her like a dolphin plush.

956
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:39,400
Yeah, it's cute.

957
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:40,400
That's pretty good.

958
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:41,400
Oh, okay.

959
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:51,400
More freaking Athena making up things you can do in a Jell-O-Clay or that other dolls can't do like freaking electricity now.

960
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:52,400
What is happening?

961
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:53,400
Yeah, I don't understand what's going on.

962
00:48:53,400 --> 00:49:03,400
It's also good that Shuko is like, I want Masaki to see me at like my best being like my coolest and like Athena's totally acting like an anime villain here.

963
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:04,400
Yeah.

964
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:13,400
It's like, she does that electric discharge and then she's just like walking at an even pace towards her opponent, which by the way, she's funny like a weird bunny girl.

965
00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:14,400
Like it's very.

966
00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:15,400
Yeah.

967
00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:21,400
Um, yeah, I was like, time's going to run out by the time you guys walk up that damn mountain.

968
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:41,400
Yeah, she she just walks at her right in this bunny girl is like trying to hit her, but also retreating the whole time and she just keeps walking forward until they make it all the way up this mountain and like the bunny is like exhausted and like like falling over and then like she tries to throw like one last punch that she like grabs her and throws her up and does a back breaker and then throws her down the mountain.

969
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:44,400
I'm like Shuko's probably across the villain.

970
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:45,400
This is like some villain stuff.

971
00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:49,400
I don't think this is like heroic as you think it is.

972
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:50,400
This is really funny.

973
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:51,400
Yeah.

974
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:53,400
Oh man.

975
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:54,400
Okay.

976
00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:55,400
Okay.

977
00:49:55,440 --> 00:50:05,400
Athena, I seeing her up close like this, her helmet, it kind of reminds me of the civilization who made the Star Forge and co tour like the shaped head like that.

978
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:09,400
It kind of made me think of them, you know, pointy heads.

979
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:12,400
I guess I don't really remember what they look like to be honest.

980
00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:13,400
Okay.

981
00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:14,400
You just played the game.

982
00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:16,400
I know, but I don't remember.

983
00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:17,400
I'm really barely in it.

984
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:27,400
And I guess, yeah, Hatoko had beached here, he may and you know, no matter who won between her and Misaki, they both would have wound up competing against each other even more.

985
00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:28,400
Yeah.

986
00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:30,400
Because and then who would her second be then?

987
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:31,400
I don't know.

988
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:34,400
Ringo should be stuck with Ringo.

989
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:36,400
And then they go on a freaking ride.

990
00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:37,400
Okay.

991
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:38,400
Just like a theme park.

992
00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:41,400
This is the most terrifying ride I've ever seen in my life.

993
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:42,400
This is not safe.

994
00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:46,400
It's just like an open cart thing they're on with no theme park.

995
00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:48,400
And it like plummeted.

996
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:50,400
It's like a drop tower.

997
00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:51,400
Like you're in a hot air balloon.

998
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:52,400
You can fly out of it.

999
00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:53,400
Oh my God.

1000
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:55,400
And at first I was like, oh, they're in like a weird Ferris wheel.

1001
00:50:55,440 --> 00:50:56,400
That's kind of fun.

1002
00:50:56,440 --> 00:51:00,400
And then it just drops down and I'm like, bro, you're not strapped in.

1003
00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:02,400
That is not safe.

1004
00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:04,400
It's like the most terrifying.

1005
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:05,400
This cannot be real.

1006
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:06,400
Or like, I don't know.

1007
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:09,400
Maybe it is because it seems very specific.

1008
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:10,400
Where is this theme park?

1009
00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:11,400
I mean, I guess.

1010
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:13,400
Like next to something.

1011
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:15,400
Yeah, I guess it makes sense.

1012
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:16,400
It makes sense.

1013
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:21,400
Like entertainment complex would have like convention arena thing

1014
00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:24,400
and whole park next to it.

1015
00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:26,400
It's like integrated into the city.

1016
00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:27,400
It's just all right there.

1017
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:29,400
I have a couple of other notes.

1018
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:31,400
Just like real quick stuff.

1019
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:34,400
O'drew second appears to be Fuji Mori, which is interesting.

1020
00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:36,400
Like the chick from the control room.

1021
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:38,400
She's just doing her job.

1022
00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:39,400
That's fun.

1023
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:41,400
The boss's brother, kid brother.

1024
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:43,400
I mean, they seem to they don't know him.

1025
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:44,400
They seem to hang out.

1026
00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:48,400
It's extremely funny how everybody is like swooning over Shuko

1027
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:52,400
being the champion except for Si, who just doesn't care at all.

1028
00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:54,400
I will ask if she's.

1029
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:55,400
Oh, Joe, here we go.

1030
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:59,400
She doesn't like her because Kaede is swooning over her and says

1031
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:02,400
that's her rival for Kaede's affection.

1032
00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:04,400
I would like that.

1033
00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:08,400
But it looks like she's she's just like she's she's like looking bored.

1034
00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:10,400
She's like got her hand like on her like chin.

1035
00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:12,400
She's just like zoning out.

1036
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:14,400
Yeah. Okay.

1037
00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:17,400
I thought you were going to want to run with that conspiracy.

1038
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:19,400
I mean, I like it.

1039
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:20,400
Listen, I like it.

1040
00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:22,400
It's not what's happening, though.

1041
00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:24,400
It's just funny because it's like I don't like size.

1042
00:52:24,440 --> 00:52:26,400
Hold deal is just like she doesn't really care about it.

1043
00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:28,400
You like layer that much, I guess.

1044
00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:29,400
All right.

1045
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:31,400
I forgot to like through my slides.

1046
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:33,400
Yeah, we've got a picture of it.

1047
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:36,400
I would take the pop it and then.

1048
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:39,400
And then OK, I was going to say more like girls love implications

1049
00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:44,400
that freaking hotoco and the sake where they're talking.

1050
00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:49,400
And hotoco is like, oh, if I didn't know any better, I'd be jealous of it.

1051
00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:51,400
You know, all I can think about is Athena.

1052
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:55,400
Oh, man, what's happening?

1053
00:52:55,440 --> 00:52:56,400
I mean, that's just cute.

1054
00:52:56,440 --> 00:52:58,400
That's I mean, they're just being cute.

1055
00:52:58,440 --> 00:52:59,400
Like this like this stuff.

1056
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:00,400
Here's the difference.

1057
00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:05,400
The difference here is that this feels like a this feels like a more like

1058
00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:07,400
you're just like your close girlfriends.

1059
00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:09,400
You're just like joking around.

1060
00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:12,400
Whereas I'm more girlfriends than I do.

1061
00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:14,400
So I am inside.

1062
00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:21,440
She like you got like long shots of like your portraits over cherry blossoms

1063
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:23,400
staring into each other's eyes.

1064
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:24,400
This is not the same.

1065
00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:26,400
These are not the same thing.

1066
00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:31,400
OK, like there are different levels of like how much you're convincing me

1067
00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:33,400
that you like joke around, right?

1068
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:36,400
Like like hotoco in the sake are just like joking around here like pals.

1069
00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:42,400
Like kind of inside or like crying back to back.

1070
00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:43,400
Come on.

1071
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:47,400
Oh, so I guess it's hotoco lost to Athena last year in the semifinals,

1072
00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:48,400
which is wild.

1073
00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:49,400
Yeah.

1074
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:52,400
Why don't we get to see these awesome flashbacks?

1075
00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:56,400
The show I want to see that makes me sad that we don't get to see

1076
00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:58,400
see the cut action anymore.

1077
00:53:58,440 --> 00:53:59,400
That's not like that.

1078
00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:00,400
There it is.

1079
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:03,400
1718 there it is in the tank.

1080
00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:06,400
I know, look at us go.

1081
00:54:06,440 --> 00:54:09,400
And we got eight more episodes, four more podcast episodes.

1082
00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:10,400
Yeah, we're done with Angela Claire.

1083
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:11,400
Pretty good.

1084
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:12,400
Yeah, yeah.

1085
00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:13,400
You're liking it.

1086
00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:16,400
Yeah, I think it's I think it's I don't like know what we're going to do

1087
00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:18,400
for eight more episodes, though, because I feel like they've set up

1088
00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:21,400
the Misaki and Shuko meet each other thing.

1089
00:54:21,440 --> 00:54:25,400
But like there's too many episodes in between that for like nothing else to happen,

1090
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:26,400
you know, yeah.

1091
00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:32,400
So we have some mini arc of things in the next like five episodes or something.

1092
00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:36,400
You know what we can do on the last episode, I can show you my shitty,

1093
00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:40,400
like 15 year old AMVs that are Angela Claire.

1094
00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:43,400
Oh, we should make an AMV.

1095
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:45,400
Yeah, did you say you were wanting to do that?

1096
00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:46,400
You can make one.

1097
00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:47,400
We should do that.

1098
00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:48,400
Yeah.

1099
00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:49,400
In honor of our coverage of this.

1100
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:50,400
Right.

1101
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:52,400
I can't think of a song that would go good with this show.

1102
00:54:52,440 --> 00:54:55,400
No, we just play clips of us talking about a thing

1103
00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:57,400
and then the thing happening in the back.

1104
00:54:57,440 --> 00:54:59,400
That's not an AMV.

1105
00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:03,400
It's just that's just that's just a video podcast.

1106
00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:07,400
I feel like I feel like AMVs are, I guess they're still a thing.

1107
00:55:07,440 --> 00:55:11,400
They're still in my mind is like a 2000s thing.

1108
00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:13,400
Yeah, but they're fun still.

1109
00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:14,400
Make yourself a little.

1110
00:55:14,440 --> 00:55:16,400
That's the way I would discover new shows.

1111
00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:18,400
They'd be like, ooh, I like the look of that.

1112
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:19,400
What is that show?

1113
00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:20,400
Pretty good.

1114
00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:27,400
I guess we want to go into recommendations of which I need to think of one like right now.

1115
00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:29,400
Can't cut this out.

1116
00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:30,400
I know.

1117
00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:31,400
Okay.

1118
00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:32,400
Okay.

1119
00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:37,400
I'm going to recommend a little game called Walk About Mini Golf.

1120
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:38,400
Oh my God.

1121
00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:41,400
It's just VR game.

1122
00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:42,400
And I know what you're thinking.

1123
00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:43,400
Mini golf.

1124
00:55:43,440 --> 00:55:44,400
That doesn't.

1125
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:47,400
Is that really all that interesting?

1126
00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:48,400
Let me tell you.

1127
00:55:48,440 --> 00:55:49,400
It is.

1128
00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:50,400
It's awesome.

1129
00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:51,400
It's charming.

1130
00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:53,400
Fun with friends.

1131
00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:56,400
You know, you can play mini golf in all these cool environments.

1132
00:55:56,400 --> 00:56:07,400
Like you could be playing on the Eiffel Tower or, you know, 20,000 leagues under the sea or in space and, you know, Shangri-La and

1133
00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:09,400
freaking Labyrinth, Jim Henson's Labyrinth.

1134
00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:13,400
All these cool places you play mini golf and you can play with friends.

1135
00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:17,400
There's great music and yeah, I hear the people.

1136
00:56:17,440 --> 00:56:22,400
My coconut, the folks behind the game are pretty cool too.

1137
00:56:22,440 --> 00:56:25,400
Especially their community manager.

1138
00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:26,400
Wow.

1139
00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:28,400
She knows what she's doing.

1140
00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:29,400
That's very good.

1141
00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:35,400
Someday, I know with the announcement of Wallace and Gromit, Joe said he might get VR.

1142
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:40,400
So maybe the day will come in which we can play Walk About Me Golf together.

1143
00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:41,400
Possible.

1144
00:56:41,440 --> 00:56:42,400
Okay.

1145
00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:44,400
That's my recommendation.

1146
00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:45,400
Does that count?

1147
00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:46,400
Yeah, that counts.

1148
00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:47,400
That's fine.

1149
00:56:47,440 --> 00:56:50,400
Promoting my work.

1150
00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:51,400
That's good.

1151
00:56:51,440 --> 00:56:52,400
I think that's good.

1152
00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:54,400
I'm not going to do that because that wouldn't make any sense if I did that.

1153
00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:59,400
So instead, I'm going to recommend an anime movie because I watched an anime movie.

1154
00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:02,400
And now I'm going to recommend a different one.

1155
00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:04,400
Although the one that I watched was also fine.

1156
00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:13,400
I'm going to recommend the movie Crusher Joe, which is my profile pic on Instagram that has nothing.

1157
00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:14,400
Besides that.

1158
00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:18,400
I was like, I wasn't sure what that was.

1159
00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:20,400
Yeah, because, you know, Joe, it's like me.

1160
00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:26,400
Crusher Joe is a text based in the same like universe as Dirty Perry, which is like a another animation.

1161
00:57:26,440 --> 00:57:27,400
It's like pretty fun.

1162
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:31,400
1983 takes place in space.

1163
00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:36,400
Basically, crushers are like kind of like odd job mercenary kind of guys.

1164
00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:45,400
And like this team led by Joe, they're like the Crusher Joe team get assigned a job to like carry or like curry something.

1165
00:57:45,400 --> 00:58:03,400
And halfway through, they get like teleported out of light speed randomly and all of their ship has been like rated and they like lost all the things and they've been captured by the military because it turns out there in like a sector that is restricted and they shouldn't be there.

1166
00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:08,400
And so they spend the entire movie trying to figure out what happened to them and why their shipment got stolen.

1167
00:58:08,440 --> 00:58:12,400
And it leads to great conspiracy and excitement.

1168
00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:17,400
And it's pretty much just like a really fun like action movie kind of thing going on.

1169
00:58:17,440 --> 00:58:19,400
That's like there's a lot of cool sci-fi stuff.

1170
00:58:19,440 --> 00:58:27,400
You get a lot of fun like retro future animation for, you know, like spaceships and computers and all this other stuff.

1171
00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:28,400
It's really fun.

1172
00:58:28,440 --> 00:58:31,400
It's like a good old like mystery heist action movie.

1173
00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:32,400
Nice.

1174
00:58:32,440 --> 00:58:33,400
Crusher Joe.

1175
00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:34,400
It's good.

1176
00:58:34,440 --> 00:58:35,400
Like spaces.

1177
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:36,400
Like space battles.

1178
00:58:36,440 --> 00:58:37,400
That's right.

1179
00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:38,400
You like dude's name, Joe.

1180
00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:40,400
Yeah.

1181
00:58:40,440 --> 00:58:41,400
Oh boy.

1182
00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:42,400
Pretty good.

1183
00:58:42,440 --> 00:58:55,400
I was like, I had it and I was like, oh, I'm like, I'm worried this is going to be like, I don't know, like I'm worried this is going to be like, you know, there's a lot of like old anime stuff that's like the humor is bad and it's kind of horny and gross.

1184
00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:57,400
None of that stuff happened really.

1185
00:58:57,440 --> 00:58:58,400
That's good.

1186
00:58:58,440 --> 00:59:03,400
There's like maybe one or two moments that were like, it's pretty good.

1187
00:59:03,440 --> 00:59:05,400
And like the, you know, hold it up.

1188
00:59:05,440 --> 00:59:08,400
A lot of old stuff doesn't hold up super well.

1189
00:59:08,440 --> 00:59:10,400
I was reminded again recently.

1190
00:59:10,400 --> 00:59:12,400
Of the part of Blade Runner.

1191
00:59:12,440 --> 00:59:14,400
Oh, I haven't seen that.

1192
00:59:14,440 --> 00:59:19,400
That is, that is, you know, people thought romance works and movies in certain ways.

1193
00:59:19,440 --> 00:59:23,400
And now you look at that and you're like, kind of just feels a little bit assaulting.

1194
00:59:23,440 --> 00:59:25,400
I feel like live action ages.

1195
00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:37,400
I mean, technically, like the animation could age badly or special effects, but like live action just depictions of how the, you know, world thought about certain things at the time do not age well.

1196
00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:39,400
Old stuff.

1197
00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:43,400
You can tell you can you can feel the age on it, but Crusher Joe's is pretty good job.

1198
00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:44,400
Sweet.

1199
00:59:44,440 --> 00:59:57,400
Before we go into Joe's pitch, I'm going to read some replies on our co-tour bonus episode on Spotify, because we said that if people did put things, I would say them.

1200
00:59:57,440 --> 00:59:59,400
You can reply on Spotify.

1201
00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:00,400
Yeah.

1202
01:00:00,440 --> 01:00:07,400
So I for each episode, I try to set a poll and then also a question where people can comment.

1203
01:00:07,400 --> 01:00:14,400
So I put for that episode, the question was, should Sarah force Joe to play Star Wars, the Old Republic with her?

1204
01:00:14,440 --> 01:00:15,400
No.

1205
01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:18,400
And Sam, which Artista said, absolutely.

1206
01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:21,400
And begrudgingly, like, playing with the hilarious.

1207
01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:22,400
Does it count?

1208
01:00:22,440 --> 01:00:25,400
And then Dene said, absolutely, she's shy.

1209
01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:26,400
OK, fine.

1210
01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:29,400
Listen, I'm not going to just because you both said I should.

1211
01:00:29,440 --> 01:00:31,400
No, did you watch the cinemast trailers?

1212
01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:32,400
I said, you know.

1213
01:00:32,440 --> 01:00:33,400
No, I didn't.

1214
01:00:33,440 --> 01:00:34,400
No.

1215
01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:40,400
It's so good, though. Hey, hey, and you can't bully me into playing an MMO.

1216
01:00:40,440 --> 01:00:43,400
What makes you play something first?

1217
01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:44,400
How about that?

1218
01:00:44,440 --> 01:00:46,400
We're going to play Pikmin.

1219
01:00:46,440 --> 01:00:47,400
We're going to play Pikmin together.

1220
01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:49,400
We're going to do that.

1221
01:00:49,440 --> 01:00:52,400
We mean, it's happening.

1222
01:00:52,440 --> 01:00:55,400
If I was going to force you to play a game, it wouldn't be Pikmin, but OK.

1223
01:00:55,440 --> 01:00:56,400
Force me to play it.

1224
01:00:56,440 --> 01:00:57,400
Freaking.

1225
01:00:57,440 --> 01:00:58,400
Oh, God, what is that game?

1226
01:00:58,440 --> 01:00:59,400
Everyone.

1227
01:00:59,440 --> 01:01:01,400
Helldivers, whatever.

1228
01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:03,400
I'm going to force you to play Helldivers.

1229
01:01:03,400 --> 01:01:04,400
It's got to be painful.

1230
01:01:04,440 --> 01:01:08,400
If you're going to be playing MMO, it's got to be something that's miserable.

1231
01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:10,400
A math game.

1232
01:01:10,440 --> 01:01:12,400
To doku.

1233
01:01:12,440 --> 01:01:14,400
Oh, my God.

1234
01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:22,400
OK, anyway, if you you can interact with us on Spotify as well, I guess.

1235
01:01:22,440 --> 01:01:25,400
If we set that up, which I don't know how to do.

1236
01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:32,400
But also while you're there, you can rate us five stars on your podcast platform of choice.

1237
01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:40,400
It helps us gain some like whatever with the priority with the algorithms that I think matters.

1238
01:01:40,440 --> 01:01:44,400
But really what counts is word of mouth recommendations.

1239
01:01:44,440 --> 01:01:55,400
So if you like the show and you have other friends who anime or shojo or listening to stuff, or they're just like, man, I'm at work and I just wish I had something to listen to.

1240
01:01:55,440 --> 01:01:59,400
And all of my podcasts have gotten their season ended.

1241
01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:04,400
Maybe send them our way. Recommend it. Show Joe to your friends and rate us five stars.

1242
01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:11,400
If you leave a comment on Apple podcasts, I might read it out on air and we don't have any new ones.

1243
01:02:11,440 --> 01:02:13,400
But if we do, I might read it out.

1244
01:02:13,440 --> 01:02:17,400
But yeah, so please do those things.

1245
01:02:17,440 --> 01:02:18,400
Tell your friends about it.

1246
01:02:18,440 --> 01:02:25,400
Interact with us on Instagram and let's see what else are we on?

1247
01:02:25,440 --> 01:02:26,400
Tiktok.

1248
01:02:26,400 --> 01:02:31,400
We have four more episodes of this show.

1249
01:02:31,440 --> 01:02:40,400
If you have questions or comments you want to submit to us, you know, at the end, you know, maybe in the last episode, we'll like if we have some questions, we can do a little Q&A.

1250
01:02:40,440 --> 01:02:43,400
Send those to...

1251
01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:44,400
Have you learned the Q&A yet?

1252
01:02:44,440 --> 01:02:45,400
No.

1253
01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:50,400
Show Joe pod at gmail.com.

1254
01:02:50,440 --> 01:02:54,400
Spell the same as the title and yeah, hit us up.

1255
01:02:54,400 --> 01:02:56,400
Send us questions there.

1256
01:02:56,440 --> 01:03:00,400
We're still waiting for that Sai and Kaya Day fan art.

1257
01:03:00,440 --> 01:03:03,400
We haven't gotten any submissions yet, unfortunately.

1258
01:03:03,440 --> 01:03:04,400
If you do...

1259
01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:05,400
We'll look them up.

1260
01:03:05,440 --> 01:03:09,400
We will reward you in some meaningful way someday.

1261
01:03:09,440 --> 01:03:14,400
I can't look stuff up right now because I might run into spoilers, but I will as we approach the end.

1262
01:03:14,440 --> 01:03:16,400
Okay.

1263
01:03:16,440 --> 01:03:17,400
Which we're doing.

1264
01:03:17,400 --> 01:03:26,400
So next episode, we'll be watching episodes 19 and 20 and that will bring us close to the end and then we'll have to watch something else.

1265
01:03:26,440 --> 01:03:32,400
I know I said maybe I'd give you guys an option, but I've decided I'm just going to be controlling and pick what we're doing.

1266
01:03:32,440 --> 01:03:36,400
So get ready for that big reveal.

1267
01:03:36,440 --> 01:03:39,400
You do not get equal voice here.

1268
01:03:39,440 --> 01:03:43,400
Someday, someday when there's enough of you timing in.

1269
01:03:43,400 --> 01:03:49,400
I don't care if you respond to a poll saying I should play a curatorial.

1270
01:03:49,440 --> 01:03:52,400
No, I'm not going to.

1271
01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:53,400
Okay.

1272
01:03:53,440 --> 01:03:55,400
Well, that's all folks.

1273
01:03:55,440 --> 01:04:01,400
Until next time, remember that just because you say you wouldn't want...

1274
01:04:01,440 --> 01:04:03,400
Girl, I was kidding.

1275
01:04:03,440 --> 01:04:05,400
Maybe have you really thought it through?

1276
01:04:05,440 --> 01:04:06,400
Have you really...

1277
01:04:06,440 --> 01:04:07,400
You gotta try it.

1278
01:04:07,440 --> 01:04:09,400
...really thought it through?

1279
01:04:09,440 --> 01:04:10,400
Don't knock it.

1280
01:04:10,440 --> 01:04:11,400
Yeah, don't knock it until you try it.

1281
01:04:11,440 --> 01:04:12,400
Yeah.

1282
01:04:12,400 --> 01:04:16,400
Maybe you can listen like, you know, kissing girls is pretty good.

1283
01:04:16,440 --> 01:04:17,400
You're second.

1284
01:04:17,440 --> 01:04:19,400
She's there to help you in all regards.

1285
01:04:19,440 --> 01:04:20,400
She can help you.

1286
01:04:20,440 --> 01:04:23,400
She can do a little ventriloquist bitch with her dogs.

1287
01:04:23,440 --> 01:04:24,400
It's endearing.

1288
01:04:24,440 --> 01:04:25,400
We love her.

1289
01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:28,400
Yeah, she's a little kooky, but you need that.

1290
01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:29,400
Oh, man.

1291
01:04:29,440 --> 01:04:30,400
Bye.

1292
01:04:30,440 --> 01:04:31,400
She does.

1293
01:04:31,440 --> 01:04:32,400
Okay, all right.

1294
01:04:32,400 --> 01:04:53,400
Okay, look, this might be our quickest recording ever, and we're not going to make that any longer.

1295
01:04:53,440 --> 01:04:54,400
The world.

1296
01:04:54,440 --> 01:04:55,400
I don't...

1297
01:04:55,440 --> 01:04:59,400
I may technically live in it, but I don't.

1298
01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:00,400
You should learn about the world.

1299
01:05:00,400 --> 01:05:02,400
You're about the world.

1300
01:05:02,440 --> 01:05:04,400
You say that you technically live in it, you literally live in it.

1301
01:05:04,440 --> 01:05:05,400
You're about to...

1302
01:05:05,440 --> 01:05:06,400
Oh, my God.

1303
01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:07,400
I did my taxes.

1304
01:05:07,400 --> 01:05:34,400
That's real enough for me.
