00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:19,520
Welcome back to Show Joe, your favorite anime recap podcast where I, Sarah, and my good

2
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:23,480
friend here, Joe, go through Show Joe anime.

3
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:25,280
You know the deal.

4
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:32,960
It's for girly girls and Joe, our manly man, doing his first adventure into the middle

5
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:34,960
school girl genre.

6
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:35,960
Yeah.

7
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,640
Try to change it up every time.

8
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:40,640
That's what we're doing.

9
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:41,640
Oh God.

10
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:42,640
Okay.

11
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:43,640
I'm tired.

12
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:44,640
Joe's tired or at least he was.

13
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:45,640
I'm actually not tired.

14
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:46,640
Okay.

15
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:47,640
I'm freaking exhausted.

16
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:48,640
Why are you tired?

17
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:50,640
Oh, I had to imagine this.

18
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,520
I had to go to the office every day of the week.

19
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:55,520
Oh, yeah.

20
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:56,520
That's pretty bad.

21
00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:02,320
No, I just, we have some people from, or we have like a guy from the UK and a guy from

22
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,720
Australia that worked for us who are in town.

23
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,720
So it's like, often that's the opportunity.

24
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:12,920
So I went to the office and there was a lot of like, like yesterday we did a panel for

25
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,440
like this UT gaming group.

26
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,040
So like stayed late doing that.

27
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,080
And I just like have had, and it's been busy.

28
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:23,720
It's been busy, busy, busy.

29
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:27,080
So I've just been nonstop, get home, pass out.

30
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,520
I'm going to have time to do very much at all.

31
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:30,520
Dang.

32
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:31,520
I know.

33
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:32,520
That sounds rough.

34
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:33,520
I know.

35
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,040
That's like, it's just a normal work week for people.

36
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:37,680
I mean, that's a lot.

37
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,160
My work week is like that necessarily.

38
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:41,640
I just go to sleep late.

39
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:42,640
Yeah.

40
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,000
That's also, that's the normal issues.

41
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,640
I just go to bed at two.

42
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,440
But I mean, one day this week.

43
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:49,440
You went to two?

44
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,440
I went to, okay, one day this week.

45
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:52,440
Hold on.

46
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:53,440
Hold on.

47
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,160
What do you normally go to sleep and wake up?

48
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:01,560
Go to bed between one and two and wake up at eight.

49
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,320
Dude, that's insane.

50
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:04,320
I know.

51
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:08,840
I, it's, it's a, it's like a struggle to get through the day.

52
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,520
I'm over here being like, if I get less than eight hours of sleep, like three days in a

53
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,280
row, I'm just like dead that last day.

54
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,560
And you're over here getting like six hours average.

55
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:17,560
Yeah.

56
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:18,560
It's self-inflicted.

57
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:24,080
Uh, I just, and then I, oh, I don't know.

58
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:28,240
Sometimes, you know, the, the doom scroll, it's a real thing.

59
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:29,240
Wow.

60
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:33,400
But I can justify it as being like, ooh, I got it beyond social media.

61
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:34,400
So I know.

62
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:35,400
That's part of my job.

63
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:36,400
I can do it.

64
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:37,400
Oh boy.

65
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:38,400
Oh my God.

66
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:39,400
Yeah.

67
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,360
Oh, so I did, I managed to finish Horizon Zero Dawn.

68
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,920
So I started for Bid and West, but I just haven't had any time to play it this week.

69
00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:47,320
But so far, so good.

70
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:48,320
How about you, Joe?

71
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,200
Have you been able to accomplish anything more?

72
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:52,200
I have.

73
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:53,400
Um, yes.

74
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:58,600
I have finished two season twos of anime.

75
00:02:58,600 --> 00:02:59,600
Across?

76
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,120
That I was watching with my friend.

77
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,760
No, so this is like a different thing that we watch with other friends like week to week.

78
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,080
We, I finished, um, High Card season two.

79
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:08,280
Never heard of it.

80
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,200
And Faraway Paladin season two.

81
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:11,560
I've never heard of that either.

82
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:12,560
All right.

83
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,640
So, uh, I'll start with the one that's more boring.

84
00:03:14,640 --> 00:03:20,280
Uh, Faraway Paladin is a, um, story that has a really good like set up, which is there's

85
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,520
this kid, you know, it's like an RPG world or whatever there's like power.

86
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:29,400
It's more of like a, um, D&D world, I guess, because this kid is like raised and he like

87
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:36,360
becomes a Paladin and he's raised by a skeleton and a zombie and they're like his parents.

88
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:41,520
Um, and they teach him how to be like good, like a good adventure boy and like do the

89
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:46,360
right thing and he has this goddess he follows and like all this other stuff and he gets

90
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,800
Paladin powers, which means he can like heal people or whatever.

91
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:51,800
Yeah.

92
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:52,800
At first season, it's pretty good.

93
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,160
It's all about like training stuff and like learning to do the right thing and blah, blah,

94
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:57,160
blah.

95
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:02,040
And then, uh, season two is, um, now he has to go on a D&D adventure where he has to clear

96
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:09,680
out a, he has to go fight this dragon that's like taken over the dwarves mountain or something.

97
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,480
Uh, and like.

98
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:12,480
It's weird.

99
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:13,480
Well, it's not weird.

100
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:17,600
It's, it's, it's one of these things where like it's 12 episodes, I think of the season.

101
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:18,600
Yeah.

102
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,440
And the first two episodes are good and the last three episodes are good and everything

103
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:22,920
else in between is sucks.

104
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:24,600
It was a waste of time.

105
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:25,600
It's super nothing.

106
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:33,200
It's like, if you've ever played like a D&D or like a tabletop RPG, um, it's like, imagine

107
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:39,120
all of the like world building stuff that's extremely generic that you normally would

108
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,640
just gloss over, but in this case they don't gloss over it.

109
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,840
They focus on it for like seven episodes or something.

110
00:04:44,840 --> 00:04:47,080
Dungeons and Dragon life.

111
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:48,520
It's incredibly boring.

112
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,440
I cannot believe they made that idea.

113
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,000
They should have been six episodes.

114
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,600
The whole show should have been six episodes.

115
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,760
Dwarves and mountains are always under mountains, but they're also digging underground.

116
00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,520
I feel like that's dangerous.

117
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:04,880
Like the weight of a mountain and then like risking the stability of the ground that

118
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:05,880
it's on.

119
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:06,880
That seems.

120
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:07,880
It's like mining.

121
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:08,880
Crazy.

122
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:09,880
Yeah.

123
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:11,120
It's like a mining thing.

124
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:12,120
Yeah.

125
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,240
I mean, it's just like, it's all just the generic fantasy stuff.

126
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:16,240
It's like, oh yeah, there are these doors.

127
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:17,240
Think that everyone.

128
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:18,240
This mountain.

129
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:19,240
It's exactly what you think it is.

130
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:20,240
Yeah.

131
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:21,240
You already know it.

132
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:22,240
It's like if I just told you.

133
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:23,240
So there's no point going over it.

134
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,200
Like me telling you this summary is basically everything.

135
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,760
Nothing of interest happens outside of what I'm saying other than these doors lived in

136
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,600
this mountain and then a dragon showed up and they were like, we're gonna, we're gonna,

137
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,560
and then they have to like, we're gonna fight and then some of them fight and some of them

138
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,680
like leave as refugees and all the ones that fight die the end.

139
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:40,680
It's boring.

140
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:41,680
It's incredibly boring.

141
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:42,680
I can't believe it.

142
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:43,680
Yeah.

143
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:44,680
So that was that one.

144
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:54,480
High card is a show that takes place in like a like a fantasy London, I guess.

145
00:05:54,480 --> 00:06:00,600
In a world called, I think it's called four side or four square or something.

146
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:01,600
Four square.

147
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:06,440
That's the restaurant reviewing app or something that died years ago.

148
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,120
Like a kid recess game.

149
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,480
So let's see what happens in that.

150
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:12,480
Yeah.

151
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,920
So in that world, there are playing cards that give you magical powers and the people

152
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:20,680
who can use them are called players and you hold the car up and you say play and then

153
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:25,320
it becomes like a like a glove on your hand and then you get whatever power is associated

154
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:26,320
with that card.

155
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:27,720
And like some of them are really goofy.

156
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:32,120
Like the main character, his power is just a gun that shoots straight, which is just

157
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:33,120
a normal gun.

158
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:34,120
He just gets a revolver.

159
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,080
It's really stupid.

160
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:42,560
But like his teammate gets one where like as long as he has enough like sugar in his

161
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,480
bloodstream, he can like instantly revive from anything.

162
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,600
So he's like Wolverine in that way.

163
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:49,600
And that's pretty cool.

164
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,840
Just wait till you watch Karkaptor Sakura.

165
00:06:53,840 --> 00:06:56,040
It's it's like that.

166
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,040
And then intention purpose.

167
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,240
I mean, this has purpose.

168
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:01,800
Like it's it's like goofy.

169
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,360
They like work for it's kind of like.

170
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:08,720
If you've ever seen Kingsman where it's like, oh, yes, we work for the crown and we're trying

171
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,480
to recover all the cards because they got stolen and we have a handful.

172
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:12,480
We try to get them back.

173
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:13,480
And it's that kind of thing.

174
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,640
That's what season one is basically about.

175
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,040
Season two is like batshit insane.

176
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,520
The number of like ridiculous things that happen that just like don't make sense.

177
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:26,160
You're like getting reveals that people are like, oh, this person was secretly my brother

178
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:30,800
or like the prince is conspiring against the other prince.

179
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,600
It's like totally batshit.

180
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,600
Like things are just going off all the time.

181
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:36,600
It's crazy.

182
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:37,600
Is it like good?

183
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:38,880
It's not that good, but it is wild.

184
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,520
So it's just like a crazy time.

185
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:42,520
Different ish.

186
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:43,520
Yeah.

187
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,280
It's like, yeah, it's pretty not that good.

188
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,880
Like when I sit there and think about it, but when you're watching it, you're like, damn,

189
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,280
that shirt is crazy that this random thing is happening.

190
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:58,320
When you're watching these in your little pal group, is it like everyone takes turns

191
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:02,760
making suggestions or you just agree as a group?

192
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:03,760
Yeah.

193
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,360
We like watch like a trailer or something.

194
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,200
We're like, yeah, we can try this.

195
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:08,200
Like we tried some other ones.

196
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:09,200
Yeah.

197
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,360
We're just going to say outright rejected.

198
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:18,600
We watched like the first couple episodes of this one anime about like F1 racing, but

199
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,160
it was like F5 or something for like amateurs.

200
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:25,480
I mean, we got like three episodes into that and that sucked.

201
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:26,480
Incredibly boring.

202
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:27,480
Cool.

203
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:28,480
Yeah.

204
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:29,480
That's much more exciting.

205
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:30,480
But yeah, let's see.

206
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,640
There's also some other stuff that I did, but maybe I'll talk about later.

207
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:34,640
I was reading some manga.

208
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:35,640
I guess.

209
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:36,640
Oh, yeah.

210
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:37,640
Talk about.

211
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:38,640
Okay.

212
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:44,480
Because you were, I was going to say, we can get, this will be our transition into

213
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:45,480
Angelic Layer.

214
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,320
You were talking about getting the manga Angelic Layer.

215
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:52,640
And then like a few days later, I saw on Facebook Marketplace that someone was selling

216
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:57,240
a random collection of manga and they had one of the Angelic Layer.

217
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:58,240
Omnibus.

218
00:08:58,240 --> 00:08:59,960
And so I was like, Hey, is this still available?

219
00:08:59,960 --> 00:09:00,960
And they're like, No.

220
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,840
I was like, Oh, I would have been like $500.

221
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:05,840
Yeah.

222
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:11,360
So I bought the, I bought the Angelic Layer Omnibus on eBay.

223
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,360
So how did you?

224
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,880
First off, I realized my eBay account just randomly got suspended.

225
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,960
I don't know why they're just like, your account is suspended because you violated our terms.

226
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:21,960
And I'm like, what are you just saying?

227
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,760
And I'm like, whatever, I'll just make a new account and cares.

228
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:30,440
And then, yeah, so I bought that, but it won't get here until the end of or like the beginning

229
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:31,440
of May.

230
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,040
So, I don't have it.

231
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,040
I've only bought one thing off eBay and that was, well, actually just kidding.

232
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:37,560
I've never bought anything off eBay.

233
00:09:37,560 --> 00:09:39,160
I've only bid for one thing.

234
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:43,640
And that was Pikmin two when I was like 13 trying to get for my game cube.

235
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:48,600
Oh man, of which we try to play Pikmin and that was a disappointment last week, the one

236
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:49,600
day.

237
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:50,600
We didn't even try to play it.

238
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,000
We just like, we're like, we're like, we're gonna get on.

239
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,000
We're like, Oh, we'll play it together because it has, it has co-op and get there.

240
00:09:55,000 --> 00:10:00,200
And it's like, Oh, it's only local co-op because, you know, a re-released game in 2024 can't

241
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,800
have online play because Nintendo can't figure out how the internet works.

242
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:04,800
So frustrating.

243
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:05,800
Oops.

244
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:07,960
We'll just have to cram it in when I can visit.

245
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:08,960
Just bid.

246
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:14,560
Just the fact that your company can't have online play for stuff when like indie games

247
00:10:14,560 --> 00:10:16,760
have online play is pretty embarrassing.

248
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,880
I mean, I don't know.

249
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,840
Maybe you should just like pick up a book and learn how the internet works.

250
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:22,840
Maybe.

251
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:23,840
Yeah.

252
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,640
And then Splatoon, which is like their online multiplayer game, like doesn't have basic

253
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:28,640
features.

254
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,240
Have I complained about this before?

255
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:31,240
No, no.

256
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:32,240
Okay.

257
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:33,240
Splatoon three.

258
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,240
I have Splatoon three because I played the first one and I was like, Oh, it's pretty fun.

259
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,840
And then I bought the third one because I was like, I'll try this and it was kind

260
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:38,840
of disappointing.

261
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,760
They're always disappointing, but they don't have basic features.

262
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:45,080
So like there are things in video games that I don't even think of as features.

263
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,240
Like if I'm in a lobby, you can back out.

264
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,200
You know how you can press B to back out the lobby when you're like, Oh, I don't want to

265
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:51,200
queue up anymore.

266
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:52,900
You literally can't do that in Splatoon.

267
00:10:52,900 --> 00:10:56,960
You have to quit the game to exit a queue.

268
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:57,960
Insane behavior.

269
00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:58,960
Like this is basic stuff.

270
00:10:58,960 --> 00:10:59,960
Yeah.

271
00:10:59,960 --> 00:11:00,960
Well, that's what I was saying with Dragon's Dog.

272
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:01,960
And they haven't even implemented it.

273
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:02,960
Yeah.

274
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:03,960
Dragon's Dog was not made by Nintendo.

275
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:08,640
No, I'm just saying that's another Japanese developer where like they decide to watch

276
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:13,200
a game without like the most, you know, like, like quit to menu.

277
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:14,200
Yeah.

278
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,280
Well, like you can't restart the game just straight up.

279
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:18,280
That was so dumb.

280
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:22,880
I'm like, how could you release a game in 2024 without like a undoubtedly.

281
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:24,440
Like a new game button.

282
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:25,440
Yeah.

283
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:26,440
What is happening?

284
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,400
You know, like sometimes things are designed like made by design.

285
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:30,640
Like these are design choices.

286
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,200
I don't think those are design choices.

287
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,200
I think you just forgot to put a back out of queue button.

288
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:36,200
And never.

289
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,040
Because any human being on the earth would recognize that this is a thing you probably

290
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:40,040
need.

291
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:41,040
I don't know.

292
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:42,040
I'm actually played multiplayer.

293
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:43,040
Well soon it's okay.

294
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:44,040
They must have.

295
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:45,040
I don't know.

296
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,800
I played a little bit of Splatoon too, but I kind of get into it.

297
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:48,800
Yeah.

298
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,000
It's like, it's very much like a gimmick and it's like, it's pretty fun.

299
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,560
But then I get tired of it because it's like, okay, all these matches feel exactly the same.

300
00:11:55,560 --> 00:11:56,560
Yeah.

301
00:11:56,560 --> 00:11:57,560
Oh boy.

302
00:11:57,560 --> 00:11:58,800
But that's me with most online multiplayer games.

303
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:00,320
I get really tired of them really quickly.

304
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:01,320
Yeah.

305
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:02,480
I'm like, yeah, I understand what's happening here.

306
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:03,480
I'm done.

307
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:09,280
Well, I mean, I was going to say my angelic layer transition went out right out the window.

308
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:14,560
But you know what game I wouldn't get tired of if it was real online angelic layer.

309
00:12:14,560 --> 00:12:15,560
Yeah.

310
00:12:15,560 --> 00:12:16,560
In person.

311
00:12:16,560 --> 00:12:17,560
In person.

312
00:12:17,560 --> 00:12:18,560
Oh God.

313
00:12:18,560 --> 00:12:19,560
That was so cool.

314
00:12:19,560 --> 00:12:21,840
It would be good.

315
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:22,840
I mean, I don't know.

316
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:24,920
Like, I can't think of maybe it's good.

317
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,960
Like, well, I don't play fighting games because I'm like, I could go to fighting game tournaments.

318
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:29,360
That's kind of like you do that in person.

319
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:37,240
I feel like it's got to be just like the most like bro-y, like taunting people or something.

320
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:38,760
I mean, God forbid, it's high.

321
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:42,400
It shows up and they just be like, stupid kid, get out of here.

322
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:43,400
Okay.

323
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:44,400
I don't think I just.

324
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:45,400
Our children's game tournament.

325
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,800
I do think it's going to be very bro-y.

326
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,480
I assume the worst all the time.

327
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:51,480
Yeah.

328
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:55,960
I think that's a bad way to live.

329
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,560
I think you should not assume the worst thing is going to happen every time.

330
00:12:59,560 --> 00:13:00,560
Sometimes good things happen.

331
00:13:00,560 --> 00:13:01,560
Yeah.

332
00:13:01,560 --> 00:13:02,560
I don't want to talk about these episodes.

333
00:13:02,560 --> 00:13:03,560
Okay.

334
00:13:03,560 --> 00:13:04,560
Let's do it.

335
00:13:04,560 --> 00:13:05,560
These episodes are bad.

336
00:13:05,560 --> 00:13:06,560
Well, not bad.

337
00:13:06,560 --> 00:13:11,600
They're just like, they're just like supremely uninterested into me.

338
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:12,600
Yeah.

339
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:13,600
So like, yeah.

340
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,600
So what, what, what, what kind of tournament would you go to in person?

341
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,040
What kind of events do you want to go into in person?

342
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:20,040
Me?

343
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:21,040
Yeah.

344
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:22,920
I mean, you need to keep me from talking about these episodes.

345
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:23,920
No, stop.

346
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:24,920
It's fine.

347
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:29,640
You know, we just got to get, the next ones are going to be a slog for me, but we'll get

348
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:30,640
into that later.

349
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:31,640
Why?

350
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,320
I didn't even look at the next ones.

351
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:34,320
God.

352
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,320
Well, we're onto the after this.

353
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:37,640
I got it on my Tlex server.

354
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:38,640
Onto the.

355
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:42,560
Basically the next two episodes are just going to be like romance stuff.

356
00:13:42,560 --> 00:13:45,880
Which means it's going to be slow and there's going to be no fighting.

357
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:46,880
I mean, at least.

358
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:47,880
The whole purpose of our.

359
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:52,600
Happening show the girlie romance part.

360
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:56,720
But I'm like, oh yeah, the next two episodes are called summertime at the sea.

361
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:58,080
Someone's in love with someone.

362
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:02,480
And then the next one is suddenly just the two of us secret double days.

363
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:03,480
Yikes.

364
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:04,480
Mm hmm.

365
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:05,480
Yeah.

366
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:09,040
Oh, you know how it's like, I was like, I wonder what they're going to do for the last

367
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:10,040
like eight episodes.

368
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:11,040
Yeah.

369
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:12,040
There's not that many fights left.

370
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,040
I guess we're doing this.

371
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:15,040
Yeah.

372
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,680
I know after episodes 19 20 here.

373
00:14:17,680 --> 00:14:20,480
I'm on to the final disc of my box set.

374
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,920
So we are in the last stretch now.

375
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:23,920
The home stretch.

376
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:29,680
OK, now that we've talked about after these episodes, we should talk about these episodes.

377
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:30,680
Fine.

378
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:31,680
I'll do it.

379
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:39,680
Fine episode 19 of Angelic Layers called System Down Decisive Fight on a Ship in a Storm.

380
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:40,680
What?

381
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:42,400
Not System of a Down.

382
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:43,400
It's not System of a Down.

383
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,280
I wish they just played System of a Down over this whole episode.

384
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:47,960
That'd be great.

385
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,560
Oh, that should be our AMV for this.

386
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,040
It's just this one like everything's going to shit in this episode.

387
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:58,520
OK, we open on some random woman struggling to put a sock on her angel.

388
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,920
Some guy offers to help and then puts the sock on for her.

389
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,840
Then he says that he helped her out like he would help out his little sister when she

390
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,720
would have problems addressing her doll to, I guess.

391
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:09,880
And then the OP plays.

392
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,480
We cut back to this woman and guy.

393
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,720
The guy says he comes to the tournament or he came to the tournament to see his little

394
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:16,720
sister compete.

395
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,360
But she left to look for Misaki Suzahara.

396
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:23,280
And then they talk about Misaki and how she's like kind of a big star of this tournament

397
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,400
because she's like the big surprise workie.

398
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:29,560
And then the woman gets up to leave and the guy comments that she's really tall and basically

399
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:34,320
the opposite of Misaki in every way, which makes her like very self-conscious because

400
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,880
it's not like she chose to be tall or anything.

401
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:41,120
Misaki and Hanoko enter and the guy and his sister go and talk to them.

402
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:45,240
The woman from earlier gets annoyed and yells at Misaki saying that when you're small,

403
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:46,840
everyone's nice to you.

404
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:50,200
Everyone thinks this is like a weird and out of nowhere thing to say.

405
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:55,080
Hanoko accuses her of using psychological tactics because she's going to be Misaki's

406
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:56,080
opponent.

407
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,360
Misaki is mostly just confused by this whole interaction.

408
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,760
We cut to Ichon and Shuko grabbing a drink outside.

409
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:06,560
Ichon says the development of the full-size prosthetics is going pretty well and Shuko

410
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,120
says that there's still some testing to do.

411
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:12,080
Then Ichon looks over at a family and starts to float the idea that after all is said

412
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:17,120
and done, maybe he and Shuko or Shuko could be like a couple or something, but he totally

413
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:18,640
chickens out halfway through.

414
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,320
Then a thunderstorm starts.

415
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:24,680
Back at the tournament, Shuko and Ojiro are watching Misaki's match or are about to watch

416
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:25,680
the match.

417
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:29,160
Ojiro says he's hanging out with Shuko because he wants to get away from his fans, but then

418
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:33,640
she's like, no, you're doing it because Ichon told you to watch her and he's like, yeah,

419
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,520
right, that's why I'm doing it.

420
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,040
Misaki and her opponent gets ready.

421
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:41,000
Sai and Kaede, Mickey, their only appearance in this episode, comments that her opponent

422
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:45,480
is here again and her name is Chita-sei Tanaka.

423
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:49,640
So thank you, Sai and Kaede, for giving us the name of the character.

424
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:54,120
In the stands, Kataro comments that everyone here is at the level of Sai and Kaede, so

425
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:58,320
all these are going to be tough fights, which is not true at all in this one.

426
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,600
Tamayo agrees but says not to worry about it.

427
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:05,680
Then she teases him for only thinking about Misaki, but then she ends up like making herself

428
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,680
kind of sad.

429
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:08,680
It's a weird scene.

430
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:12,200
Because she's like, oh, Kataro likes Misaki, dang, I like him.

431
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:13,200
Remember?

432
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:14,200
I just remembered that.

433
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:15,200
That's my plot line.

434
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:16,200
Ah, shoot.

435
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:17,200
Okay.

436
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:21,760
The arena map is revealed to be a battle on a ship in the middle of the ocean, which

437
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:22,760
is cool.

438
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:26,480
In the control room, the crew says that the Thunder hasn't caused any interference yet,

439
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:27,720
but they're going to keep an eye on it.

440
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:31,240
The announcer says that this match will only consider the ship to be pardoned in play,

441
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,600
so if you like fall into the ocean that counts as like layering out.

442
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:39,680
The angels enter, Hikaru's opponent is named Elaine, and he's super tall.

443
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:43,880
Hikaru's plan is to use the mast of the ship to hit Elaine from above, so like she'll

444
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:48,680
jump on the mast, and then like jump down and hit her.

445
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:55,080
But Elaine uses a move called reversal hexagon, which like traps Hikaru in like this green

446
00:17:55,080 --> 00:18:00,080
barrier, and then Elaine punches the barrier and Hikaru falls and like takes a bunch of

447
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:01,080
damage.

448
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,400
And then that's the end of the first round.

449
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,080
It's extremely bizarre.

450
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,360
It's like she just does magic.

451
00:18:08,360 --> 00:18:14,560
In the control room, Ichon explains to Ogata that Elaine made a space resonate with the

452
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:20,000
field sensor's reversed signals, which causes the trapped foe to get attacked by the shock

453
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,400
way's diffused reflection.

454
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,480
That's an exact quote I wrote down.

455
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,880
So this is what we're dealing with in this episode.

456
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:28,880
Right over my head.

457
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:33,360
It really is just like some science nonsense.

458
00:18:33,360 --> 00:18:37,360
During the break, Misaki tells Hadoko that she has no idea how she's supposed to counter

459
00:18:37,360 --> 00:18:40,680
this, but Hadoko says that she has an idea.

460
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,960
The second round starts, and Hikaru and Elaine exchange blows.

461
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:48,720
The lightning from the storm causes the arena to flicker in and out, and a virtual storm

462
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,080
starts in the arena, rocking the ship.

463
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,800
Hikaru almost falls off, but catches herself at the last moment.

464
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,080
In the control room, the team assesses the damage.

465
00:18:56,080 --> 00:19:01,520
It turns out the Matrix Maintenance Module is affected and could shut off, but it's

466
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:02,920
running for now.

467
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:07,160
Ichon refuses to stop the game because that would ruin the fun, and the deuses in the

468
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,720
audience should never see any technical glitches.

469
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,960
Which like, they definitely already have Ichon.

470
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:16,240
The fight continues, but both angels are having a hard time keeping their footing.

471
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:20,640
The announcer tries to play this off as an intended part of the match, with the weather

472
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:21,640
hazard.

473
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,400
But Shuko, Kataro, and Hadoko are not buying that at all.

474
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:29,200
The crew tries to fix the layer in between round 2 and 3, and they seem to succeed at

475
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:30,200
doing that.

476
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:35,360
Round 2-3 starts, Chida say, Misaki's opponent tells Misaki that once you've grown taller,

477
00:19:35,360 --> 00:19:37,400
you can't go back to being small.

478
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:42,480
And being tall kinda sucks for a girl, because boys think you should be small and cute.

479
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:46,800
And she's made fun of sometimes for being so tall, and that kinda sucks.

480
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:50,600
Back in the control room, Fujimori and Ogata accidentally bump into each other while working

481
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:51,680
on the control panels.

482
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:56,720
Ogata uses this opportunity to flirt slash sexually harass Fujimori who's not having

483
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:57,720
it.

484
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,360
They're interrupted when the machine starts to break down again.

485
00:20:00,360 --> 00:20:06,080
It seems that when Elaine uses her weird space attack, it like messes with the layer.

486
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:09,420
Misaki reflects on her ideas of height.

487
00:20:09,420 --> 00:20:13,160
She decides that when she said that height and age don't matter, she actually meant that

488
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,880
as in it actually doesn't matter if you're tall or short.

489
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:17,840
So they should just play the game like normal.

490
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:23,200
Eileen is about to use her space trap again, but it causes the layer to disappear beneath

491
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:28,960
her feet and she starts to fall into the void, but then Hikaru grabs her when she's swinging

492
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:34,760
on a rope and they both retreat up to the mast of the ship.

493
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:39,040
Chie-Sé is confused as to why Misaki would save her and Misaki says that she wants to

494
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:40,360
win fair and square.

495
00:20:40,360 --> 00:20:44,720
The ship is about to just completely disappear, but Ogata is able to fix the problem before

496
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,520
it disappears completely.

497
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:50,560
The crew is able to restore the layer and the match can continue like normal.

498
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:54,200
Hikaru and Eileen continue to fight until Hikaru is eventually able to kick her off

499
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:55,600
the ship and win the match.

500
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:59,280
Shuko comments that Misaki did a good job and Ojiro is like, yeah, and Ichon also did

501
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,720
a good job fixing the problem in the layer.

502
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:06,360
After the match, Chie-Sé and Misaki shake hands and Misaki runs off.

503
00:21:06,360 --> 00:21:11,440
The guy from the beginning of the episode comes up to Chie-Sé and say he's sorry that

504
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:15,880
she lost, but she looked terrific out there, which seems to make her happy and then we

505
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:16,880
cut to credits.

506
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:20,760
Oh my God, that episode.

507
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,880
It's like, who the hell are these people?

508
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:29,840
I mean, it continues from, you know, first what we first see and then the opening and

509
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:31,240
then it goes back to these people.

510
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:32,760
We have no idea who they are.

511
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:34,240
I was like, who's the sister?

512
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,240
Is the sister someone we know?

513
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:37,240
Oh, God.

514
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:38,240
Yeah, it's not.

515
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:39,240
She's just some rando.

516
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:41,640
No, it's just like all these people are just random.

517
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:46,400
This is essentially back to like our beginning episodes where each opponent is loving like

518
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:50,760
they're hanging up and then Misaki helps them through it, blah, blah, blah.

519
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,200
And hers is just that, which is true.

520
00:21:53,200 --> 00:22:00,200
You know that it's typically, or at least here in Western culture, it's like, you know,

521
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:01,960
naturally dudes are supposed to be bigger than girls.

522
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:08,040
So if a girl's tall, then like it feels like guys aren't going to be interested.

523
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:11,120
And I guess that's something to be upset about.

524
00:22:11,120 --> 00:22:13,960
But like, don't this is the angelic layer.

525
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:15,960
It's not a dating show.

526
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:16,960
Calm down.

527
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:21,880
Like, did you ever watch the Netflix movie Tall Girl?

528
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,880
Oh, this is like a K-drama or something, right?

529
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,440
I feel like this is no.

530
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:28,440
This was a movie.

531
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:29,440
Okay.

532
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,520
Because I remember watching this with my roommate when it came out like a long time ago and

533
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:39,880
I like couldn't take the premise seriously because like, I mean, yes, like does like

534
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:45,520
being tall, like being a tall girl does, you know, I guess.

535
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:50,360
If you're like the kind of dating options, yeah, if you're like dating someone taller.

536
00:22:50,360 --> 00:22:51,360
Yeah.

537
00:22:51,360 --> 00:22:55,640
If you're like consistent on it, but like that's not an actual, I mean, this isn't a thing

538
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,240
you like really get discriminated against.

539
00:22:58,240 --> 00:22:59,240
You know what I mean?

540
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:00,240
Like it's not like an actual.

541
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:01,240
Yeah.

542
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:05,440
I feel, I feel, I don't, I mean, I'm a chick, but I feel, I don't know.

543
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:06,440
Or is it?

544
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:12,520
I mean, maybe it is about it, but it feels like I don't want to date string being because

545
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:16,680
I don't want to feel like a whale next to them, you know, it's like things like that.

546
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,800
You want to feel like the dainty lady.

547
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:26,040
So if you have someone where you take on the role of being the more, I don't know.

548
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:27,040
Yeah.

549
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:30,360
And this is just like one of these things where it's like, yeah, I guess this is a problem,

550
00:23:30,360 --> 00:23:34,160
but like only in the realm of dating and like it doesn't really affect your life outside

551
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:35,320
of that at all.

552
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:40,680
Whereas like everything else in this show has been people having specific problems about

553
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,440
their life that are more like internal in like how they should interact with the world.

554
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:48,760
And then just having this chick at episode 19 show would be like, I'm tall, so boys don't

555
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:49,760
like me.

556
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:53,800
It seems like way weaker than anything else we've seen from everybody else.

557
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:54,800
You know what I mean?

558
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:56,800
Like size sister died.

559
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:57,800
Like Jesus.

560
00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:58,800
Yeah.

561
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:00,800
That's way bigger than this.

562
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:06,600
And like the way that it's resolved, I also think sucks because it's basically just like,

563
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:11,400
oh, yeah, doesn't it suck to be tall boys don't think you're high.

564
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:16,080
But it's like, but at the end it's like, oh, don't worry, you know, but the resolution

565
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:20,920
isn't like, oh, this is like a hang up about like the way other people perceive you.

566
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:24,360
You shouldn't think about yourself in terms of like how attractive or appealing you are

567
00:24:24,360 --> 00:24:25,360
to other people.

568
00:24:25,360 --> 00:24:29,720
You should like think about yourself in the way you like think of who you are as a person

569
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:31,480
and the kind of person you want to be.

570
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,840
But instead it just ends with being like, actually there is a guy who likes tall girls,

571
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:35,840
so you're fine.

572
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:37,360
No, she just hangs tight.

573
00:24:37,360 --> 00:24:39,840
Short Kings is going to be a whole thing.

574
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:46,000
And like I feel like we really resolve anything here about like your internality when it's

575
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:47,600
just like, oh, boys don't like me.

576
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:48,600
Just kidding.

577
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:49,600
They do.

578
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:50,600
And he's like, cool.

579
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:51,600
Good.

580
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:52,600
Yeah.

581
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:53,600
I mean, God, yeah.

582
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:54,600
Okay.

583
00:24:54,600 --> 00:25:00,080
I mean, it's certainly more understandable on her and the misaki being like, man, it's

584
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:01,880
sucks to be so small.

585
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:06,160
I mean, I definitely can relate to the tall chick more than that.

586
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:11,400
Like for me, I'm too short to get the mug out of the cabinet or something.

587
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:12,400
Yeah.

588
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:17,480
But like misaki feeling self-conscious about being small is because she wants to be athletic.

589
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,080
Like this isn't about her like wanting to be attractive.

590
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:25,920
I mean, this is about her like wanting to do things with a body she can't do those things

591
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:26,920
with.

592
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:27,920
You know what I mean?

593
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:33,280
It feels much more serious and like important than this chicks hang up about like, yeah,

594
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,960
I'm tall, but like guys don't like that.

595
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:37,440
It's not even like I'm tall.

596
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,400
And so it's like, I can't buy it's hard for to buy clothes.

597
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:41,760
It's like a lot of things are really annoying.

598
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:45,760
I have to like duck down when I go under, you know, when I get on an airplane or something.

599
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,680
Like, I mean, you know, but there are like actual things in your life where like being

600
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:49,920
too tall is a pain.

601
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:54,600
But these are just like the only issue with being tall is that guys don't like me, which

602
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:58,080
is just like, yeah, dude, this is because you were in high school and guys suck.

603
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:04,120
Like, I don't know if this is really a hang up you should have.

604
00:26:04,120 --> 00:26:05,120
Oh, goodness.

605
00:26:05,120 --> 00:26:06,120
Okay.

606
00:26:06,120 --> 00:26:08,720
Well, I guess they could move on from that.

607
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:10,720
I have notes.

608
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:11,720
Yeah.

609
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:12,720
Okay.

610
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:13,720
So we just walked through the episode.

611
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:14,720
Yeah.

612
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:15,720
Do you think he's hot?

613
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,720
Do you think he's short in his tie?

614
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,720
His outfit is so unremarkable.

615
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:22,720
I was like, who are these people?

616
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:24,720
Like so unimportant.

617
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,720
He's like a poor man's guitar.

618
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:27,720
Yeah.

619
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:28,720
Oh, God.

620
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:30,400
I accidentally started watching it in English.

621
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,280
His voice actor sounds like a child.

622
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,280
So that made it even worse.

623
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,280
It was so bad.

624
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:37,280
Yeah.

625
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:38,280
Okay.

626
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,280
So they, what is it?

627
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:41,280
Oh, yes.

628
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:47,720
When they're watching Misaki about to go on and Ojiro is asking Shuko like, oh, are you

629
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:52,880
cheering her on as her mom and she's like, no, as her rival.

630
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:54,200
I did say, yeah.

631
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:55,200
Of course.

632
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,200
You'd rather be the rival than the mother.

633
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:58,200
It's so weird.

634
00:26:58,200 --> 00:26:59,200
Anything to not be that.

635
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:00,200
Yeah.

636
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:01,200
Like why did you see yourself?

637
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:02,200
It's so weird.

638
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:03,200
Because like, don't understand.

639
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,200
They haven't even thought each other.

640
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,200
How could she be your rival?

641
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:08,200
She doesn't even know you.

642
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,200
She doesn't even know you're her mom.

643
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:11,200
Yeah.

644
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,400
It's such a bizarre thing to say.

645
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,400
It's peculiar.

646
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:20,400
And then her and Ichon at the table, I'm like, maybe they are dating if he's thinking about

647
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,400
asking them to move, live together.

648
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,000
What is happening?

649
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:26,920
It doesn't, it doesn't sound like, okay.

650
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,200
So we haven't really got anything so far to like think that they're dating, right?

651
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:31,200
Like we never see them.

652
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:36,680
Well, it's obvious that he's into her, but she's like too all consumed by angelic layer.

653
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:40,120
But he's like about to float the idea that they should live together, which feels like

654
00:27:40,120 --> 00:27:42,400
a step beyond asking someone out.

655
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:46,120
Like what I said in the summaries is like, oh, maybe we should be a couple because that's

656
00:27:46,120 --> 00:27:47,120
how I interpreted it.

657
00:27:47,120 --> 00:27:52,520
But what he literally says is like, hey, after all of this living together, hmm.

658
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,800
And then he like backs up and he's like, are you going to live with Misaki?

659
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:57,400
And she's like, oh yeah, for sure.

660
00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:58,920
And he's like, oh, cool.

661
00:27:58,920 --> 00:27:59,920
Yeah.

662
00:27:59,920 --> 00:28:00,920
I hate this.

663
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:01,920
This sucks.

664
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:06,360
Like, like I get the, I get the like being nervous, asking people out thing as like the

665
00:28:06,360 --> 00:28:07,360
kids plot line.

666
00:28:07,360 --> 00:28:08,360
Yeah.

667
00:28:08,360 --> 00:28:12,720
And I'm like, each one in Shoko are like in their thirties, like their mid thirties.

668
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:13,720
Come on.

669
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:14,720
Yeah.

670
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:16,360
I, I, yeah, I do not know.

671
00:28:16,360 --> 00:28:17,920
I'm not exactly sure what the hell.

672
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,280
I know no Shoko this time.

673
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:21,280
No Shoko.

674
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,600
Do you like how each one had a green drink?

675
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:24,600
He has like a lime drink.

676
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:25,600
It's like acid.

677
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:27,080
Look, it's so vibrant.

678
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:28,080
Like what is that?

679
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:29,720
I'm like, yeah, my man.

680
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:30,720
Oh my gosh.

681
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:31,720
Let's see.

682
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:35,400
And we get to lane the opponent's angel.

683
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:40,200
And I'm like, here we go with more of the boxing stuff because she's wearing like a robe

684
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:44,160
like boxers do before they get on the ring and take it off.

685
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:45,160
She is.

686
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:46,160
Man.

687
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:47,680
She's wearing like a, her angel is cool looking.

688
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,040
Elaine's a cool looking angel.

689
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:56,280
I don't get why she just made her angel tall if she thinks being tall is a bad thing.

690
00:28:56,280 --> 00:29:01,960
I mean, I think maybe it's just that she's mad that she doesn't necessarily not like

691
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:07,840
being tall is just how the world perceives women is who are tall is undesirable.

692
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:12,320
I mean, it could be like maybe this will like boost my confidence if I make an angel that's

693
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:16,440
tall and she's successful and people admire her or something like that.

694
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,640
I guess that's just kind of weird because like most of the time you make angels that

695
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,240
are like things that are aspirational to you.

696
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:23,240
It just depends.

697
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:24,240
She just makes herself.

698
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:25,240
Yeah.

699
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:26,240
Some people do that.

700
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:27,240
Some people make what they like.

701
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,160
Some people make insane looking care.

702
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:33,640
We haven't seen any like, you know, how anytime there's like a character creator and some

703
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:38,240
people just try to make the craziest, ugliest avatars, but we haven't seen that angelic

704
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:39,240
layer.

705
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:44,160
But there's just all sorts of different approaches to do.

706
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:47,160
The parents.

707
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:48,880
The love angst in this episode sucks.

708
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:50,000
I think it's just not that good.

709
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,520
Like you have the each on stuff you have Cheetah say stuff.

710
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:55,920
Tommyo gets in on it a little bit.

711
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:56,920
I was like, yeah.

712
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,960
Oh, Katara, you're really you're really focusing on Misaki.

713
00:29:59,960 --> 00:30:00,960
Huh?

714
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:01,960
It's all you think about.

715
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:02,960
And he's like, no.

716
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:03,960
And then she's like, dang.

717
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:05,960
I'm sad with that joke.

718
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,280
And maybe it is all he doesn't think about me.

719
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,040
I'm like, Tommyo, knock it off.

720
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:12,040
Yeah.

721
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:13,040
Oh, God.

722
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:14,280
They kind of get.

723
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:15,280
Okay.

724
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,680
Freaking before they even throw their angels in.

725
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:19,680
What's her name?

726
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:20,680
Cheese?

727
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:24,480
It's Cheeto say Cheeto say.

728
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:29,920
She like can just spot the dude she talked to for five seconds in a crowd.

729
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:35,440
How the hell can you tell the difference of someone you just met and a dude who's in

730
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:39,800
totally unremarkable clothing like the plainest looking dude ever.

731
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:41,800
She just spots him right away.

732
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:42,800
It's funny.

733
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:47,800
And then she throws.

734
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:48,800
Let's see.

735
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:54,360
She throws her angel in and the angel starts moving before it even hips the layer.

736
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:57,800
Like, you know, because normally they get animated.

737
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,120
But yeah, like, you know, you're there.

738
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:05,400
They're not they're supposed to be immobile until you get them in the layer and then they

739
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:06,400
move.

740
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:07,400
But she likes straight.

741
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,600
It starts moving her arm before it's a thing.

742
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:11,960
That's, you know, that's not supposed to happen.

743
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:12,960
I mean, it's so minor.

744
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,480
But I was just like, oh my gosh, you can't do that.

745
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,440
I can't move before you hit the layer.

746
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:19,440
Oh, man.

747
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:24,200
We do learn some fun stuff like Shoo Geonada, who's.

748
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:27,720
Yuko's husband is in charge of making all the environments.

749
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:28,720
So good for him.

750
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,160
He gets like a thing to do.

751
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:32,480
The environment's cool this time.

752
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:36,040
I don't really get what's going on with the subplot of like, oh, everything's falling

753
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:37,840
apart because there's a thunderstorm.

754
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:39,360
Which is like, OK.

755
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,880
Yeah, each one's like real intense.

756
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:48,160
Like, guys, everyone knows this is like tech based entertainment and things just happen

757
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:49,160
sometimes.

758
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:50,160
It's OK.

759
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:51,640
Like, it's not the end of the world.

760
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:54,240
It's not like the power is going on.

761
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:58,480
Someone's on life support or something, you know, it's like just just take a break from

762
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,400
the match and resume once it gets fixed.

763
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:02,400
They make it.

764
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,200
It's like life or death for each one.

765
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:08,840
Yeah, it's it's very weird because oh God is like, well, maybe we should delay the match

766
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:09,840
because of the thunderstorm.

767
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:13,480
And each one's like, no, we absolutely must not do that.

768
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:15,960
The daisies in the audience must never know.

769
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:20,520
And I'm like, bro, the whole field disappoint like disappeared for a couple seconds.

770
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:21,680
And they know.

771
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:22,960
Yeah, for real.

772
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:24,880
It's like super bizarre.

773
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:26,480
Oh, I like don't understand.

774
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:29,680
This feels like a filler episode because it feels like something that is completely

775
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:30,680
inconsequential.

776
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:34,520
Like, I don't really know what my takeaway is supposed to be from like the whole dev

777
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,080
team works together to solve a tech problem.

778
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:38,080
And it's like, that's cool.

779
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:46,280
We've gone pining for Chuko and Samoyo still pining for Kotaro and Kotaro still pining

780
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,280
for Masaki.

781
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:52,640
See, at least next episodes will actually get the stuff and everyone just thinks about

782
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,240
it and then doesn't do anything that annoys me.

783
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:56,240
Oh, dear.

784
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:57,240
Yeah.

785
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:58,240
And we get that.

786
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:00,640
Oh, and we also get that weird moment with Fujimori.

787
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:02,040
You know, God, what the hell is that?

788
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:06,560
Yeah, I was going to say, I've got a shot of that.

789
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:07,560
Oh, the barrier.

790
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:08,560
The freak.

791
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:09,560
I have all caps.

792
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:10,560
What the hell is this?

793
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:16,040
More of the like Athena stuff where Athena can make up powers and do them and so can she

794
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:17,800
traps her in a crystal.

795
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:18,800
Yeah, it's weird.

796
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:22,760
But then I was like, yeah, I was like, this is a shonen.

797
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:27,400
So of course they got like throwing an ass shot and then Oh, God is he.

798
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:28,400
It's an ass.

799
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,120
OK, first off, hold on.

800
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:31,120
What?

801
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:32,120
This is not a shonen thing.

802
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:34,360
OK, you keep saying like, oh, it's a shonen.

803
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:35,360
They do.

804
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,080
It's normally they're just like focused on that.

805
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:40,880
So it's the other option of female.

806
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:41,880
This is not a sex.

807
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:44,880
No, but this is not a sexualized male gaze shot.

808
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,960
It's mostly Oh, God is but what you're showing me.

809
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:48,960
I know.

810
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:53,440
But OK, but then he's like, I'll just take this as a chance to kind of like, oh, he's

811
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:54,440
weird.

812
00:33:54,440 --> 00:34:00,640
He makes me think of like the stereotypical like as a etchy anime dudes where they're

813
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:05,280
just kind of bumbling and happen to fall into all these like sexual moments.

814
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:07,080
He kind of reminds me of that.

815
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:12,680
Like like show bits or something, which I guess is this guy is and will be a thing.

816
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:15,640
Oh, yeah, but like it doesn't like this is not a sexual moment.

817
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:19,840
Like you are under a table and you like bump somebody is not sexual at all.

818
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:24,200
You should make the lady in a micro skirt crawling around on the ground.

819
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:25,840
Her knees must hurt.

820
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:30,080
Yeah, this whole thing is dumb because he's like because they bump into each other and

821
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,680
then he's like and she's like, dude, watch where you're going.

822
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:37,760
And he is like, oh, sorry, but your butt is so soft or something really weird.

823
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:38,760
And she's like, dude, what?

824
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:39,760
Yeah, she's like.

825
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:43,840
And like she plays it off as like kind of like she kind of forced with it a little

826
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:46,160
like it doesn't seem like she's totally.

827
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:51,720
I think it's just because like everyone else has somebody so they like need this like implied.

828
00:34:51,720 --> 00:34:53,320
Maybe they will maybe it's don't.

829
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,320
Yeah, the character itself.

830
00:34:55,320 --> 00:35:00,000
I mean, naturally, I would think she just hates it and doesn't want this, but the show

831
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,680
is forcing her to possibly consider it.

832
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:06,600
Yeah, like in real life, if you did this, this would be like, yeah, get.

833
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:12,200
On here to do, yeah, but in this she's like, oh, you're so gross.

834
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:13,200
You're like.

835
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:15,600
Yeah, you're such a bird.

836
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:17,240
Yeah, geez.

837
00:35:17,240 --> 00:35:21,280
This is definitely leading to like, I'm sure the last show next to each other and like

838
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:22,280
that's the indication.

839
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:25,480
Jesus, I got a pair off everybody at the end.

840
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:26,480
I don't know.

841
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:27,480
It is.

842
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:32,440
Oh, God, back back to the fight.

843
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:36,360
We do get to because I know in our earlier episode, I was like, it'd be nice to see kind

844
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:40,200
of the difference of what the biggest and smallest angels next to each other looks like.

845
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:41,320
And I think we kind of get that.

846
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:42,320
I don't know that.

847
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:47,120
I mean, because technically, right, according to your stats, you saw in like episode one

848
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:53,960
or two that she's not the shortest an angel could be, he car, but she's pretty short.

849
00:35:53,960 --> 00:36:01,960
And I don't know how much you could be than Elaine is, but it's a pretty big difference.

850
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:02,960
Yeah.

851
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:03,960
Yeah, she's tall.

852
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:10,040
The thing that sucks about this fight is that like none of the things even come up.

853
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:13,400
Like the fact that she's tall, he car doesn't do anything.

854
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:14,400
She just kind of wins.

855
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:18,440
Well, I mean, kind of even the barriers like she never counters.

856
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:19,440
Reach.

857
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:20,440
She's got reach.

858
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:22,880
Like she, you know, you can't anything.

859
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:23,880
She just grab.

860
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:24,880
Okay.

861
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:25,880
Yeah, I know.

862
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:26,880
But like that doesn't matter.

863
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:27,880
He car just basically ignores it.

864
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:28,880
You know what I mean?

865
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:30,920
Like these things don't matter in the fight that we watch.

866
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:31,920
Yeah.

867
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:36,040
Like she does the barrier technique and then she doesn't do it a second time and it never

868
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:37,040
comes up again.

869
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:41,840
No, that's because she was doing it and that was somehow taxing the system even further

870
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:45,880
and making the environment faster.

871
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:49,000
Although I still don't understand how that works.

872
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:52,840
This doesn't feel like this just feels like a generic now he car needs to win.

873
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:54,240
Like she doesn't do anything to win.

874
00:36:54,240 --> 00:36:55,240
Yes.

875
00:36:55,240 --> 00:37:00,600
But I feel a lot of time, you know, like she does one attack and that's it.

876
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:04,040
This really is like the beginning of the show episode just at the end.

877
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:07,800
I mean, all the other fights, there is something that indicates that like the battle turns

878
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:08,800
in her favor.

879
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:09,800
Yeah.

880
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:15,360
Like, you know, she's able to get one over on Blanche and she's able to like trick.

881
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:16,360
Uh, sure.

882
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,440
He made jumping into the ocean.

883
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:21,360
This is just like she uses a barrier.

884
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:22,360
She doesn't use it again.

885
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:25,640
The car just kind of straightforwardly kicks her off the boat and she falls and that's

886
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:26,640
it.

887
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:27,640
It's like, okay, cool.

888
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:29,640
Yeah, it's wild.

889
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:30,640
Doesn't.

890
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:33,360
And then she doesn't like take advantage of her opponent's height.

891
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:34,360
Nothing.

892
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:35,360
Nothing.

893
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:36,360
She just wins straightforwardly.

894
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:37,360
And it's like, yep, that's the end of the episode.

895
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:38,360
Yeah.

896
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:41,440
Guy comes up and is like, damn, you lost girl, but you were pretty good.

897
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:42,440
Did he get down there?

898
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:48,280
I'm like, surely there's got to be crowd control and security keeping crazed fans from getting

899
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:51,280
down towards the dais and angels.

900
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:55,160
Like some like, ah, how do you get over there?

901
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:57,000
That shouldn't be allowed.

902
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:58,000
It's just bad.

903
00:37:58,000 --> 00:37:59,000
It's it's down.

904
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:03,880
And I'm like, oh, she's resolved because some guy likes her now and that was her problem.

905
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:06,200
Yeah, true.

906
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:10,680
Like everybody else's problem is like something internal about the way they think about themselves.

907
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:13,120
But this one is like, oh, I got validated by a boy.

908
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:14,720
Well, I guess everything's good now.

909
00:38:14,720 --> 00:38:15,720
Yeah.

910
00:38:15,720 --> 00:38:19,360
I mean, I guess this is filler, but at least it's like filler within the plot.

911
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:23,240
Like it makes sense that she would have other opponents rather than the ones that we just

912
00:38:23,240 --> 00:38:24,720
know she's going to face eventually.

913
00:38:24,720 --> 00:38:25,720
So at least it's bad.

914
00:38:25,720 --> 00:38:26,720
Yeah.

915
00:38:26,720 --> 00:38:27,720
It's not like a totally random.

916
00:38:27,720 --> 00:38:32,880
I'm not saying it's filler as in like it's there to buy time for the stuff.

917
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:33,880
Yeah.

918
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:35,960
Because they have like eclipsed the filler.

919
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:41,240
Actually, if you're unaware of this is when a you know, a lot of things are adaptations

920
00:38:41,240 --> 00:38:45,720
of like books or manga or like comics or something, right?

921
00:38:45,720 --> 00:38:46,720
Still in publication.

922
00:38:46,720 --> 00:38:51,760
The show can often outpace those because, you know, a lot of people work on animation.

923
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:53,040
So there's like a lot more hands on it.

924
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:56,240
So you can make stuff faster than like the other stuff that's usually authored by one

925
00:38:56,240 --> 00:38:58,360
person.

926
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:03,720
And so to fill up time in between like the next release of the full story arc so that

927
00:39:03,720 --> 00:39:08,840
you can adapt into an anime, they will just make up some episodes that are like usually

928
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:13,880
very inconsequential and like focus on characters that are just there for like one episode or

929
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:16,960
like that one little made up filler arc.

930
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:17,960
Yeah.

931
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:22,080
And none of those like effects can like linger on the rest of the story because in the canon

932
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:23,440
story, that stuff didn't happen.

933
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:24,440
Right.

934
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:25,840
And that's what filler is.

935
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:27,480
It's a thing that used to happen a lot.

936
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:28,480
I got it.

937
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:29,960
It's shown in a particular TV.

938
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:30,960
Yeah.

939
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:33,360
But it's like when things were on TV that happened a lot because they have to have an

940
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:37,400
episode out every week, it doesn't happen that much in the streaming area basically at

941
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:38,400
all.

942
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:39,400
That's true.

943
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:40,400
That's what we're talking about here.

944
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:41,400
So I don't think that's this.

945
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:46,160
Like I don't think this was an episode to like create another episode while they waited

946
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:49,920
for the last like volume to come out of the manga or something.

947
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:55,600
This just feels like some stuff to like add in because we need to make sure that she

948
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:58,200
fights around one match and we don't know what to do.

949
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:02,280
So like, let's just shoehorn this like very flimsy plot in.

950
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:03,280
That's what it feels like.

951
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:04,280
Yeah.

952
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:05,280
Can't just.

953
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:06,280
I don't think this actually is filler.

954
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:09,120
I think it's just like you're just filling time with some stuff.

955
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:11,120
It feels of the same.

956
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:12,120
Yeah.

957
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:15,520
It feels like inconsequential and like out of step with everything else and like halts

958
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:18,720
all the momentum of everything before it.

959
00:40:18,720 --> 00:40:19,720
Yup.

960
00:40:19,720 --> 00:40:20,720
Bad.

961
00:40:20,720 --> 00:40:21,720
Yeah.

962
00:40:21,720 --> 00:40:23,920
That's episode 19.

963
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:25,920
Some filler is good.

964
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:28,120
Sometimes there's filler that's good.

965
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:32,800
I mean, I accidentally watched the bounce season of bleach back when I was still a noob

966
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:33,800
and didn't realize.

967
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:34,800
Oh, really?

968
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:36,800
You just introduced vampires for no reason.

969
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,640
That's such a funny filler idea.

970
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:40,880
I just got.

971
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:41,880
Yeah.

972
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:42,880
I know.

973
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:46,440
It's like you got when watching older sonam from the 2000s, you got find a guide like,

974
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:49,960
OK, these are the episodes you skip because they don't matter.

975
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:50,960
Yeah.

976
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:54,160
But like sometimes that's the only place where you get some characterization for like some

977
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:55,160
minor characters.

978
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:56,160
I know.

979
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:57,160
But that's pretty fun.

980
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:58,160
That can be good.

981
00:40:58,160 --> 00:40:59,160
I don't know.

982
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:00,160
I'm like, it doesn't matter.

983
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:01,160
It will never be acknowledged again.

984
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:02,160
Or it'll be weird.

985
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:03,160
Yeah.

986
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:08,080
Bleach kind of does sort of at times reference its filler.

987
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:14,560
Like it fits because each filler arc for bleach has some kind of like boss enemy.

988
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:20,920
And if he's like reflecting on past challenges, those folks are included in those flashbacks.

989
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:21,920
Yeah.

990
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:23,920
I mean, you can integrate it in.

991
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:25,920
Thank God that doesn't happen anymore.

992
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:26,920
Yeah.

993
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:29,920
They should just make more side content, to be honest.

994
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:33,920
Just make like a side story with some other characters or make movies.

995
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:34,920
That's what they would do as well.

996
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:35,920
They just make movies.

997
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:37,920
I hate it when they make movies.

998
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:38,920
The movie.

999
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:39,920
I hate the movies.

1000
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:42,920
I hate this trend where it's just like we're going to instead of releasing a movie.

1001
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:43,920
It's a movie.

1002
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:44,920
Oh my God.

1003
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:46,920
Why this contributes nothing.

1004
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:51,920
Yeah, I mean, a chance to go see anime and theaters and have it feel like it's not just

1005
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:53,920
a waste of time because it is part of the plot.

1006
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:58,920
I mean, I've only seen the Moog and train arc from Demon Slayer and theaters.

1007
00:41:58,920 --> 00:41:59,920
Yeah.

1008
00:41:59,920 --> 00:42:00,920
Yeah.

1009
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:01,920
Just sob my eyes.

1010
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:05,920
That's why everybody does this because they made up a jillion dollars doing that.

1011
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:06,920
Yeah.

1012
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:10,920
But it like just it feels like it was just like you just watched the TV show on a movie

1013
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:12,920
theater and I'm like, why did I do this?

1014
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:13,920
Yeah.

1015
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:14,920
Not satisfying.

1016
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:15,920
No.

1017
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:16,920
All right.

1018
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:18,920
What would you talk about episode 20 now?

1019
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:20,920
Yeah, you're super excited about it.

1020
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:21,920
I can tell.

1021
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:22,920
God.

1022
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:23,920
Episode 20 acts as some better stuff.

1023
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:25,920
It has some good stuff.

1024
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:29,920
Episode 19, the dark, the darkest day of Angelic Layers.

1025
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:34,920
It's just a just a real slamming the brakes on this and stuff that was going.

1026
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:35,920
All right.

1027
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:41,920
Angelic Layers episode 20 is called is each on the enemy the puzzling second game.

1028
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:45,920
We open on the tournament where they are announcing the second round matches.

1029
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:50,920
Katara asks how to go where Misaki is, but she is distracted by something and doesn't

1030
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:51,920
really answer.

1031
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:57,920
They announce on the TV screen that the second round Misaki will play against Shuji

1032
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:02,920
and nada from the development department, which is like Yuko's husband, the guy who

1033
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:05,920
makes the environments, who's the guy who works for each on.

1034
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:06,920
Yeah.

1035
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:09,920
We cut to shuko and each on out in a park.

1036
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:12,920
He says that the second round is going to start soon and he really didn't think the

1037
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,920
dev team was going to play against Misaki because I guess they like match them all

1038
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:16,920
up randomly.

1039
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:20,920
Then he asks Shuko that if it was him versus Misaki, who'd she cheer for?

1040
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:25,920
But before she can answer, they're interrupted by Ogata who's looking for each on back at

1041
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:26,920
the tournament.

1042
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:30,920
Tomayo is baffled that one of the makers would be allowed to participate in the tournament.

1043
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:34,920
Katara tells her that a guest player from overseas has played in the special slot each

1044
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:35,920
year.

1045
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:37,920
So that kind of thing can happen.

1046
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:38,920
I guess Misaki is a little worried.

1047
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:43,920
But Katara reassures her that with Hotoko by her side, she'll be fine.

1048
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:48,920
Hotoko, who is like clearly like sick or something, like takes a long time to agree and says the

1049
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:50,920
exact thing that Katara says.

1050
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:52,920
And he's like, yeah, I just said that.

1051
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:54,920
It's pretty funny.

1052
00:43:54,920 --> 00:44:01,920
Back at HQ, Shuji and nada reveals that him playing the round is just like a way for them

1053
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:05,920
to do a tech demo for the newest model of Angel that they're going to release.

1054
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:09,920
Yuko says that even though he's a total amateur, the tech advantage of the new model should

1055
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:11,920
give him like a good shot at winning.

1056
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:16,920
Shuji comments that he wishes Ogata was doing this instead and we get a cut of Ogata who

1057
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:21,920
I guess each on like stripped to his boxers and then left him out in the sun as children

1058
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:22,920
laugh at him.

1059
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:25,920
The match is about to start, but Hotoko is spacing out.

1060
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:30,920
Misaki asks her what's wrong and Hotoko just like straight up passes out in front of her.

1061
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:33,920
The match gets delayed as a doctor checks on Hotoko.

1062
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:35,920
And it turns out she's running a fever.

1063
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:39,920
Katara joins up with them and tries to take her home, but she's insistent that she stays

1064
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:40,920
for Misaki's fight.

1065
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:45,920
The gang talks her talks her down as Katara like picks her up and starts to like take her

1066
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:46,920
to the hospital.

1067
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:48,920
They get checked out during that.

1068
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:53,920
Tomio offers to be Misaki's second, but then Ojiro shows up and says that he can be her

1069
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:55,920
second instead.

1070
00:44:55,920 --> 00:45:00,920
Seeing this Tomio and Katara dramatically exchange glances.

1071
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:06,920
Ojiro comes out as Misaki second, which surprises Ichon who spits his pop form out everywhere.

1072
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:12,920
Tomio thinks to herself that she's glad Katara isn't here to see his love rival coach his

1073
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:13,920
love interest.

1074
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:17,920
Misaki thanks Ojiro for being her second and says and he says that they'll do their best.

1075
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:22,920
The announcer announces a last minute change to it, not his team as well, where Shuji is

1076
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:26,920
still the dais, but his second is now the founder of Angelic Layer Ichon.

1077
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:31,920
Misaki is astounded to learn that Ichon is the founder of Angelic Layer because this is

1078
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:33,920
the first time she's ever hearing that.

1079
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:36,920
Ichon taunts his little brother and Ojiro says he's being childish.

1080
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:42,920
Misaki is still reeling over the fact that Ichon was the creator the whole time, but

1081
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:44,920
she starts the match anyway by throwing a car on the layer.

1082
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:50,920
Shuji also throws his angel, which is conveniently named S.I.174 into the layer as well.

1083
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:55,920
The layer this time is some kind of like ruins of ancient Greece with like columns and everything.

1084
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:56,920
It's pretty good.

1085
00:45:56,920 --> 00:46:02,920
S.I.174 strikes something that could be called the battle pose, but Hikaru remains totally

1086
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:03,920
motionless.

1087
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:08,920
Ojiro tells Misaki that the match started, but she's still too distracted by like Hattako

1088
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:12,920
being sick and Ichon being the founder of Angelic Layer, but she's able to snap out

1089
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:17,920
of it and tries to land some blows on S.I.174, but can't really seem to get them to collect

1090
00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:18,920
or connect.

1091
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:23,920
In the control room, Yuko and Fujii Morikomite that the new model has really fast response

1092
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:27,920
time, which is why Shuji can dodge all of Hikaru's attacks.

1093
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:32,920
While they're talking about this, a shirtless and sunburned Ogata enters and asks what's

1094
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:33,920
been going on.

1095
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:37,920
Ichon tells Shuji to attack Hikaru, which he does.

1096
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:42,420
Hikaru takes a big hit and Ichon is a little worried that the new angel is like too perfect

1097
00:46:42,420 --> 00:46:43,920
and powerful in this fight.

1098
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:47,920
Ojiro notes that ordinary angels are really precise at moving forward and backwards, but

1099
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:51,920
not that great at like side to side movements, but it looks like the new model is good in

1100
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:52,920
all directions.

1101
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:59,920
S.I.174 starts beating up Hikaru by moving like way more fluidly than she can.

1102
00:46:59,920 --> 00:47:04,920
Ojiro and Shuko don't seem very happy about this fight, and Yuko just hopes it'll be

1103
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:05,920
over soon.

1104
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:08,920
We cut to the hospital where Kotaru is waiting for Haruko's results.

1105
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:11,920
Turns out she just has a cold and she's gonna be fine.

1106
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:14,920
Haruko tells him to go back to the tournament and that she'll call their mom for a ride,

1107
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:17,920
but he seems kind of hesitant to do so.

1108
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:20,920
Round 1 ends and Misaki doesn't think she stands a chance.

1109
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:24,920
Ojiro gives her some encouragement and says that her love for her angel will be her strength.

1110
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:29,920
Round 2 starts and Ojiro tells Misaki to focus on S.I.174's feet.

1111
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:32,920
Wait, did I say it wrong?

1112
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:34,920
Numbers, man.

1113
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:35,920
God, yeah.

1114
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:39,920
There's a part where Ichon's like you really couldn't have named it something better,

1115
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:40,920
and I agree.

1116
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:43,920
The angel's name is S.I.174.

1117
00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:48,920
Shugi isn't very good at making quick adjustments and Hikaru starts to push her back.

1118
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:51,920
Ichon comments that this must be Ojiro's doing.

1119
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:55,920
Kotaru rejoins Tamiyo in the stands and she feels a minimum of what's been happening.

1120
00:47:55,920 --> 00:48:01,920
Ojiro tells Misaki that they should end this soon and Hikaru rushes up to S.I.174

1121
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:06,920
and gets under her legs and lifts her up in a piggyback so she's on her shoulders.

1122
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:11,920
Then she jumps up several columns and at the very top of a column she does a suplex from really high up.

1123
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:17,920
Shugi basically does nothing to soften this blow or avoid this attack and just takes all the damage

1124
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:21,920
and it knocks out all of S.I.174's health.

1125
00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:26,920
Misaki is pleased with her win, but Kotaru is still very stoic that Ojiro helps her wins.

1126
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:34,920
Shugi laments that he was too focused on thinking about S.I.174's abilities and he couldn't focus on the actual match.

1127
00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:35,920
Ichon says it's okay.

1128
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:41,920
It'll only affect his evaluation for his summer bonus a bit, meaning his wife will probably make more money than him,

1129
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:43,920
which is a very funny thing to say.

1130
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:44,920
Yeah, let's start.

1131
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:55,920
Ojiro tells Misaki that the game was a good experience and that he thinks Ichon wanted to show her a bunch of different techniques that she can use later on.

1132
00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:56,920
I don't think that's true.

1133
00:48:56,920 --> 00:48:58,920
In the hallway Misaki meets up with Ichon.

1134
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:01,920
He congratulates her on winning and she thanks him for the match.

1135
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:04,920
We got to outside where Ichon meets up with Ojiro.

1136
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:10,920
Ichon asks him why he became her second and Ojiro tells him it's because he wanted Misaki to win.

1137
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:16,920
Ichon insists that he was only her opponent because it's his job and normally he would want her to win too.

1138
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:22,920
Ojiro is like, oh, you say you're on her side, but don't you mean he's really on her mom's side?

1139
00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:24,920
I don't know.

1140
00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:28,920
Ojiro teases him for a shuko, basically.

1141
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:37,920
We cut to the Kobayashi Dojo, which is Ichon and Hadoko's parents' Dojo slash house,

1142
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:40,920
where Misaki tells Hadoko that she won.

1143
00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:45,920
Tamiyo suggests that they should all go to the sea next week to celebrate and everyone gets excited as we cut to credits.

1144
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:49,920
You mean, Hotoko and Kotara's house.

1145
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:50,920
Oh, what did I say?

1146
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:52,920
Ichon's house.

1147
00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:53,920
Okay, yeah.

1148
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:54,920
Now he doesn't live there.

1149
00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:56,920
No, that'd be bad.

1150
00:49:56,920 --> 00:49:57,920
Bad hair.

1151
00:49:57,920 --> 00:49:59,920
Yeah, their house.

1152
00:49:59,920 --> 00:50:00,920
All right.

1153
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:01,920
That's this episode.

1154
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:03,920
So we like it more than the last episode.

1155
00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:07,920
Listen, the MVP of this episode is Shuji Inada.

1156
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:08,920
Yes.

1157
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:10,920
Just like the most normal guy.

1158
00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:12,920
Yeah, I really like him.

1159
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:16,920
Like clearly doesn't want to be here and doesn't really do a very good job.

1160
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:18,920
But if we can do this.

1161
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:19,920
Yeah.

1162
00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:28,920
I mean, yeah, if you work with your wife and your wife's tight with your boss, then I can see the power dynamic being a little bizarre.

1163
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:34,920
It's the most like this is the guy who designs environments and they're like, oh, we got to do a demo. Hey, you do it.

1164
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:36,920
Yeah, yeah.

1165
00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:37,920
I don't know how to do it.

1166
00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:38,920
I'm a tenoyo.

1167
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:42,920
It shouldn't be an employee shouldn't be allowed to compete.

1168
00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:45,920
But I guess technically that means Shuuko shouldn't either.

1169
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:47,920
Unless she's just a contract worker.

1170
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:49,920
But I yeah.

1171
00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:51,920
And a new model.

1172
00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:53,920
That doesn't seem fair either.

1173
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:56,920
Yeah, I mean, this feels like this should be like an exhibition map.

1174
00:50:56,920 --> 00:51:02,920
Yeah, not like the pen or, you know, not like determining if he car continues or not.

1175
00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:04,920
The stakes are too high.

1176
00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:16,920
Yeah, I feel like if I was going to do like a rewrite, this would be like a she gets a buy because like the number of like, I think they said there's like 28 competitors in this, which like doesn't evenly make a tournament.

1177
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:17,920
So like some people need to have a buy.

1178
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:21,920
So this could be like, oh, like Misaki got selected for the buy and she has to do this exhibition match.

1179
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:24,920
That's like inconsequential, but she still wins it anyway.

1180
00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:26,920
That's I feel like I don't know.

1181
00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:27,920
That's how I'm deciding to think about this.

1182
00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:28,920
Yeah.

1183
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:30,920
If I try to think about the tournament, it doesn't make any sense.

1184
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:32,920
Yeah, that's right.

1185
00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:40,920
Shiji's picture is terrible, by the way, or Shiji's like is like when they show the matchup, it's like taking out a weird angle.

1186
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:42,920
Like you didn't realize they were taking a picture of him.

1187
00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:44,920
It's very funny.

1188
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:45,920
Oh man.

1189
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:46,920
Yeah.

1190
00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:51,920
We've got Kotaro being a good big brother taking care of a sister.

1191
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:52,920
Yeah.

1192
00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:56,920
Talking her down from insisting on playing or being the second.

1193
00:51:56,920 --> 00:51:57,920
Hot OK.

1194
00:51:57,920 --> 00:51:58,920
Trying to stick it out.

1195
00:51:58,920 --> 00:51:59,920
Yeah.

1196
00:51:59,920 --> 00:52:00,920
Trying to be a big kid.

1197
00:52:00,920 --> 00:52:04,920
I know at first when the episode first started and she was just blushing, I was like, what is happening?

1198
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:05,920
Why is she blushing?

1199
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:07,920
Did like something happen?

1200
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:10,920
But then she said, oh, OK.

1201
00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:12,920
Oh man.

1202
00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:17,920
I was I was losing my shit when she when it was announced that Misaki would have to fight Shiji.

1203
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:19,920
That was such a funny reveal.

1204
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:20,920
Yeah.

1205
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:24,920
It's like she's got to fight this random guy in the background.

1206
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:26,920
You're like, oh, that guy.

1207
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:27,920
So weird.

1208
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:28,920
Yeah.

1209
00:52:28,920 --> 00:52:33,920
I mean, I guess better this than another random throwaway character.

1210
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:34,920
Yeah, it's pretty good.

1211
00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:37,920
I like how we get more of the dev team.

1212
00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:38,920
They all get named eventually.

1213
00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:39,920
That's pretty good.

1214
00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:44,920
Misaki continuing with her, you know, like I can't comprehend this revelation.

1215
00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:47,920
I can't, you know, focus on the match.

1216
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:49,920
That was a pretty big deal.

1217
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:53,920
But this one's a pretty big together, girl.

1218
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:57,920
Like this is like the weirdest experience you could ever possibly have.

1219
00:52:57,920 --> 00:52:58,920
Yeah.

1220
00:52:58,920 --> 00:52:59,920
Let's see.

1221
00:52:59,920 --> 00:53:03,920
Yeah, we get more of each on failing to ask Shuko out or like being weird.

1222
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:06,920
Like that was I didn't like this.

1223
00:53:06,920 --> 00:53:07,920
Why is he like this?

1224
00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:08,920
You're an adult dude.

1225
00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:13,920
Don't be like, oh, if I was battling your daughter and Angelica layer, who would you cheer for?

1226
00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:14,920
Yeah.

1227
00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:15,920
What are you, an insecure five year old?

1228
00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:16,920
What's happening?

1229
00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:17,920
Yeah.

1230
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:22,920
I'm just trying to agar on to saying something complimentary to him.

1231
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:23,920
Yes.

1232
00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:24,920
Ridiculous.

1233
00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:26,920
Like school yard bullshit.

1234
00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:27,920
Come on, man.

1235
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:34,920
My favorite part of the episode is when he got us or each time is like, hey, do a cool

1236
00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:36,920
entry phrase.

1237
00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:39,920
And he's like, come on, go, go.

1238
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:41,920
Like super lame.

1239
00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:45,920
And he like accidentally hit his head on the chair.

1240
00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:47,920
And so funny.

1241
00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:50,920
He's totally funny.

1242
00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:56,920
Like he definitely watched like the old Mecca shows when he was a kid.

1243
00:53:56,920 --> 00:54:00,920
Then that's just what he's basing action off of.

1244
00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:01,920
He doesn't even rename it.

1245
00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:03,920
He just keeps the model name.

1246
00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:05,920
It's like, dude.

1247
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:07,920
Yeah.

1248
00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:09,920
So good.

1249
00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:11,920
This freaking.

1250
00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:15,920
Yeah, Ojiro gives the tip on going for the feet.

1251
00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:16,920
Yeah.

1252
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:17,920
Well, he knows them.

1253
00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:18,920
Like he knows.

1254
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:19,920
Yeah.

1255
00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:23,920
So it doesn't seem fair that he competes either because he has all this inside information.

1256
00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:25,920
I just, I don't know.

1257
00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:26,920
Yeah.

1258
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:27,920
I mean, whatever, you know what I mean?

1259
00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:28,920
Like it's just how it is.

1260
00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:32,920
It's just the anime Sarah like calm down.

1261
00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:38,920
It's just funny to be like, like Ojiro being like, oh, it's Shooji doing this.

1262
00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:39,920
Yeah.

1263
00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:41,920
And then he's just go for it.

1264
00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:43,920
Like she, he didn't give me a little react to that.

1265
00:54:43,920 --> 00:54:45,920
He's just going to eat it.

1266
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:46,920
Yeah.

1267
00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:49,920
I kind of like the look of the angel though.

1268
00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:51,920
She looks like a bug.

1269
00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:52,920
Yeah.

1270
00:54:52,920 --> 00:54:55,920
It's just kind of like a armor esque.

1271
00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:56,920
Yeah.

1272
00:54:56,920 --> 00:54:59,920
I like the color palette and stuff.

1273
00:54:59,920 --> 00:55:00,920
Yeah.

1274
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:05,920
He car just giving her like a shoulder ride and then that one attack is all it takes to

1275
00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:06,920
finish her off.

1276
00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:11,920
She was taking huge blows from Elaine the last episode and had like half of it.

1277
00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:16,920
To be fair, if you got suplex from the top of a column, that would kill you in real life.

1278
00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:17,920
She's dead.

1279
00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:20,920
A lot of the things that happened was.

1280
00:55:20,920 --> 00:55:23,920
Yeah, but like just going to like kick or something.

1281
00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:25,920
Is it like this would for sure kill you.

1282
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:28,920
She felt like a story and a half.

1283
00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:31,920
She's got a helmet on and protects her head.

1284
00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:34,920
She landed on her back.

1285
00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:36,920
Like shadow your spine.

1286
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:39,920
Yeah, I know that definitely was like.

1287
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:44,920
The fact that each one like comes out when he sees Ojiro there, he's like, oh, my, my

1288
00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:46,920
shitty brother is going to ruin my tech demo.

1289
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:47,920
Yeah.

1290
00:55:47,920 --> 00:55:48,920
Yeah.

1291
00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:49,920
It's extremely funny.

1292
00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:50,920
Yes.

1293
00:55:50,920 --> 00:55:51,920
Oh gosh.

1294
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:56,920
And then after the match went, I got, I just love these two together.

1295
00:55:56,920 --> 00:56:02,920
Like the just the like totally straightforward, simple, you know, and each on just so funny.

1296
00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:05,920
Like it'll affect your evaluation and.

1297
00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:08,920
It'll be easier to control from your wife.

1298
00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:10,920
Your wife will control you easier.

1299
00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:12,920
And he's like, no, that's too cruel.

1300
00:56:12,920 --> 00:56:14,920
And he like runs away crying.

1301
00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:15,920
It's funny.

1302
00:56:15,920 --> 00:56:16,920
It's very funny.

1303
00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:17,920
Yeah.

1304
00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:22,920
The dev team is good when, when, uh, oh God, isn't harassing his coworkers.

1305
00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:23,920
They're dead.

1306
00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:24,920
Yes.

1307
00:56:24,920 --> 00:56:25,920
Other than that.

1308
00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:32,920
Okay. Did you notice that the, the animation is a little off in this episode.

1309
00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:36,920
Like there's some things that are a little off, like not animate, like characters don't

1310
00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:38,920
look the same as they normally do.

1311
00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:39,920
Like I've got like their off.

1312
00:56:39,920 --> 00:56:41,920
Like, okay.

1313
00:56:41,920 --> 00:56:42,920
Right.

1314
00:56:42,920 --> 00:56:43,920
Last you see my screen, right?

1315
00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:44,920
Yeah.

1316
00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:51,920
So episode 19, we see normal Masaki and then an episode 20 when she's in the chair in

1317
00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:58,920
the fight, it looks like a different animation studio doing like, she doesn't look the same.

1318
00:56:58,920 --> 00:56:59,920
It's weird.

1319
00:56:59,920 --> 00:57:01,920
And maybe it was just drawn by a different person.

1320
00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:05,920
You know how sometimes there's like specific animators that are in charge of like drawing

1321
00:57:05,920 --> 00:57:08,920
some characters, maybe they just like switched off there.

1322
00:57:08,920 --> 00:57:09,920
Yeah.

1323
00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:11,920
I was like, oh, we're in studio Ghibli movie now.

1324
00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:12,920
Like what?

1325
00:57:12,920 --> 00:57:13,920
I mean, I do.

1326
00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:14,920
Yeah.

1327
00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:15,920
Like the eyes are a little bit smaller.

1328
00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:20,920
There's not as many, like it's not as like shadowed or like layered or something.

1329
00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:21,920
I will say that they did.

1330
00:57:21,920 --> 00:57:28,920
They did a pretty good job of like animating SI one seven four and like look more flexible.

1331
00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:31,920
She's animated differently than he car.

1332
00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:32,920
Yeah.

1333
00:57:32,920 --> 00:57:33,920
I think it's pretty cool.

1334
00:57:33,920 --> 00:57:34,920
Yeah.

1335
00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:35,920
That's a good way to, yeah.

1336
00:57:35,920 --> 00:57:40,920
The fall through with the idea that she's higher tech and all that.

1337
00:57:40,920 --> 00:57:41,920
Yeah.

1338
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:42,920
She's like more fluid.

1339
00:57:42,920 --> 00:57:46,920
Like it's like a higher, I don't know, like her movements are less jerky, I guess.

1340
00:57:46,920 --> 00:57:51,920
I really hate the animation now that is like using 3D effects for action.

1341
00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:53,920
Like I was thinking about that today.

1342
00:57:53,920 --> 00:57:57,920
Like in Demon Slayer when I just, I didn't know it was at first, but I was like, there's

1343
00:57:57,920 --> 00:57:58,920
something, something's wrong.

1344
00:57:58,920 --> 00:58:02,920
Like something's weird is happening when he's like running and stuff that was throwing

1345
00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:03,920
me off.

1346
00:58:03,920 --> 00:58:04,920
I hate it.

1347
00:58:04,920 --> 00:58:06,920
Just stick to the 2D please.

1348
00:58:06,920 --> 00:58:11,920
Like you either, I think you either need to do it all in 2D or you do it all in 3D.

1349
00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:13,920
I think like the mixing because like.

1350
00:58:13,920 --> 00:58:18,920
You can't do it like Code Leopold's ghost and it doesn't look that great and chainsaw

1351
00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:19,920
man.

1352
00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:20,920
I don't think like I think it looks weird.

1353
00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:25,920
There's just throws like Dorohidoro looks good because they do 3D the whole time and

1354
00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:28,920
it's like stylized 3D and that was pretty good.

1355
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:29,920
Yeah.

1356
00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:30,920
Yeah.

1357
00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:31,920
It's got pick.

1358
00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:32,920
Like trying to.

1359
00:58:32,920 --> 00:58:33,920
Yeah.

1360
00:58:33,920 --> 00:58:35,920
Like I can definitely tell them like the newer Demon Slayer stuff, like when it's 3D and

1361
00:58:35,920 --> 00:58:37,920
when it's 2D and it's like, yeah.

1362
00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:38,920
Yeah.

1363
00:58:38,920 --> 00:58:42,920
It's weird when you pan the camera around and I can tell something's a 3D object, but

1364
00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:43,920
something else is.

1365
00:58:43,920 --> 00:58:44,920
Yeah.

1366
00:58:44,920 --> 00:58:45,920
Oh man.

1367
00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:52,920
And then yeah, just my last notes are like, oh, I love cicada sounds in the summer of

1368
00:58:52,920 --> 00:59:00,920
anime and Harvest Moon games and and then when they get to Hitoko, she's in bed and

1369
00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:04,920
she's got little Suzuka in bed with her.

1370
00:59:04,920 --> 00:59:11,920
She should bring her along with her like Suzuka should be in the second like little area too.

1371
00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:12,920
Like her assistant.

1372
00:59:12,920 --> 00:59:13,920
Oh man.

1373
00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:19,920
So let's see the whole thing with like guitar being like, oh no, Ojiro is helping out.

1374
00:59:19,920 --> 00:59:20,920
Yeah.

1375
00:59:20,920 --> 00:59:23,920
It's like dude, like your sister has to go to the hospital.

1376
00:59:23,920 --> 00:59:25,920
Yeah, that's more important.

1377
00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:26,920
Oh yeah.

1378
00:59:26,920 --> 00:59:29,920
I'm so not into the love eggs.

1379
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:30,920
That guy's too old.

1380
00:59:30,920 --> 00:59:33,920
It's almost predatory for him to be into Misaki.

1381
00:59:33,920 --> 00:59:34,920
So let's let's not.

1382
00:59:34,920 --> 00:59:35,920
I don't think he's that old.

1383
00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:36,920
I don't know.

1384
00:59:36,920 --> 00:59:43,920
If you're not the same level of school, like if someone's in middle school and you're a

1385
00:59:43,920 --> 00:59:45,920
high schooler, don't date a middle schooler.

1386
00:59:45,920 --> 00:59:46,920
Yeah.

1387
00:59:46,920 --> 00:59:48,920
But this is like a cartoon.

1388
00:59:48,920 --> 00:59:49,920
You know what I mean?

1389
00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:54,920
Like this is like say, I guess, Tuxedo mask and he's like three years older than her or

1390
00:59:54,920 --> 00:59:57,920
something, which is like a lot when you're in high school, but nothing when you're like

1391
00:59:57,920 --> 00:59:58,920
an actual adult.

1392
00:59:58,920 --> 00:59:59,920
Yes.

1393
00:59:59,920 --> 01:00:00,920
Well, that is the difference.

1394
01:00:00,920 --> 01:00:01,920
Adolescence versus.

1395
01:00:01,920 --> 01:00:02,920
Adults.

1396
01:00:02,920 --> 01:00:04,920
But like Ojiro is not interested in her at all.

1397
01:00:04,920 --> 01:00:06,920
Like I don't know not the vibe I get from.

1398
01:00:06,920 --> 01:00:09,920
I think he just like thinks she's a cool opponent that he wants to fight.

1399
01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:10,920
You know what I mean?

1400
01:00:10,920 --> 01:00:11,920
Yeah.

1401
01:00:11,920 --> 01:00:13,920
It's like, oh yeah, this is cool.

1402
01:00:13,920 --> 01:00:15,920
And also he knows Shuko.

1403
01:00:15,920 --> 01:00:17,920
So it's like, oh, this is Shuko's daughter.

1404
01:00:17,920 --> 01:00:18,920
That's cool.

1405
01:00:18,920 --> 01:00:19,920
Yeah.

1406
01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:20,920
It's like I get to hang out with her.

1407
01:00:20,920 --> 01:00:21,920
You know what I mean?

1408
01:00:21,920 --> 01:00:22,920
Like I don't think he's into her at all.

1409
01:00:22,920 --> 01:00:26,920
I think that's a total projection, which is why all of this stuff just feels so pointless

1410
01:00:26,920 --> 01:00:28,920
to me because he's like, oh, my love rival Ojiro.

1411
01:00:28,920 --> 01:00:32,920
And I'm like, dude, Ojiro is not interested in Misaki like that at all.

1412
01:00:32,920 --> 01:00:36,920
They should probably just confirm if Misaki is even remotely interested in.

1413
01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:38,920
I think, okay, are you?

1414
01:00:38,920 --> 01:00:42,920
Yeah, I like her and Kotaro together if they got more time.

1415
01:00:42,920 --> 01:00:44,920
It's like I like them separately.

1416
01:00:44,920 --> 01:00:47,920
They're just so awkward when it's just the two of them together.

1417
01:00:47,920 --> 01:00:50,920
Yeah, they don't have any chemistry together is my problem.

1418
01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:55,920
Like Kotaro is a nice guy, but like they don't interact in any interesting ways.

1419
01:00:55,920 --> 01:00:58,920
Like there's nothing that's like, oh, I can see why these two are together because like

1420
01:00:58,920 --> 01:01:02,920
every time they hang out, it's like, oh, they like have really good back and forth or like

1421
01:01:02,920 --> 01:01:05,920
they're both really interested in this topic or like they just have nothing.

1422
01:01:05,920 --> 01:01:09,920
It's just like, well, he's the guy in the friend group and she's the girl in the friend group.

1423
01:01:09,920 --> 01:01:11,920
Sometimes that's all it takes.

1424
01:01:11,920 --> 01:01:16,920
Like he has an actual dynamic with Tamio that he doesn't have with Misaki at all.

1425
01:01:16,920 --> 01:01:17,920
Yeah, yeah.

1426
01:01:17,920 --> 01:01:18,920
It's just disappointing.

1427
01:01:18,920 --> 01:01:19,920
Maybe it's just they know.

1428
01:01:19,920 --> 01:01:20,920
I don't know.

1429
01:01:20,920 --> 01:01:24,920
Maybe he just hasn't had exposure to anyone outside of whoever he started school with.

1430
01:01:24,920 --> 01:01:27,920
So it's a new, exciting person who he doesn't feel like it's just.

1431
01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:29,920
They're childhood friends.

1432
01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:30,920
I'm going to like that.

1433
01:01:30,920 --> 01:01:33,920
Like all romance in this world is like being portrayed as like, oh, yeah,

1434
01:01:33,920 --> 01:01:35,920
you get really like shy and fumble way around them.

1435
01:01:35,920 --> 01:01:38,920
And it's just like, I don't know.

1436
01:01:38,920 --> 01:01:42,920
We don't we don't all operate as smoothly as you do, Joe.

1437
01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:43,920
No, I know.

1438
01:01:43,920 --> 01:01:44,920
But like there are most.

1439
01:01:44,920 --> 01:01:46,920
Each on being weird.

1440
01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:47,920
Yeah.

1441
01:01:47,920 --> 01:01:48,920
You've been working together for years.

1442
01:01:48,920 --> 01:01:49,920
Yeah.

1443
01:01:49,920 --> 01:01:51,920
It's like the way that romance.

1444
01:01:51,920 --> 01:01:55,920
I feel like liking Shuko is futile.

1445
01:01:55,920 --> 01:01:57,920
Like she's her head is not.

1446
01:01:57,920 --> 01:01:59,920
She's the biggest weirdo ever.

1447
01:01:59,920 --> 01:02:00,920
Yeah.

1448
01:02:00,920 --> 01:02:01,920
Like, oh God.

1449
01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:07,920
I mean, how would you approach her and have her be interested in you at all?

1450
01:02:07,920 --> 01:02:13,920
Oh, she's so just in her own world, doing her own thing.

1451
01:02:13,920 --> 01:02:17,920
She doesn't want to be anything to anyone except the champion of Angelic Lair.

1452
01:02:17,920 --> 01:02:18,920
Yeah.

1453
01:02:18,920 --> 01:02:21,920
Well, it's just like you've been working together for like five years.

1454
01:02:21,920 --> 01:02:23,920
You like started a company together.

1455
01:02:23,920 --> 01:02:27,920
I feel like if she liked you, you would already know by this point.

1456
01:02:27,920 --> 01:02:31,920
It seems like the opportunities would have arisen for this.

1457
01:02:31,920 --> 01:02:35,920
I don't like this episode how like we get the big reveal that each on is like the

1458
01:02:35,920 --> 01:02:37,920
important guy who's found Angelic Lair.

1459
01:02:37,920 --> 01:02:39,920
But then at the end, like Masaki doesn't ask him about it.

1460
01:02:39,920 --> 01:02:42,920
They just like she's just like thanks him for the match.

1461
01:02:42,920 --> 01:02:45,920
And then we just leave like have the conversation.

1462
01:02:45,920 --> 01:02:46,920
What are you doing?

1463
01:02:46,920 --> 01:02:51,920
Yeah, I mean, he, I mean, he wasn't going to bring it up.

1464
01:02:51,920 --> 01:02:53,920
But like, why not?

1465
01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:54,920
I don't understand.

1466
01:02:54,920 --> 01:02:55,920
Direct.

1467
01:02:55,920 --> 01:02:56,920
I don't know.

1468
01:02:56,920 --> 01:02:59,920
Because then maybe she would have questions and that would lead to questioning why he

1469
01:02:59,920 --> 01:03:03,920
hid it and the reason he hid is because he's pining after her mom.

1470
01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:07,920
He gets to hang out with her mom and she doesn't.

1471
01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:10,920
Yeah, but it's just like I want them to have the conversation.

1472
01:03:10,920 --> 01:03:15,920
I feel like not having the conversation is like a dodge because it's like wouldn't

1473
01:03:15,920 --> 01:03:19,920
she want it like wouldn't Misaki want to know why does she not ask it?

1474
01:03:19,920 --> 01:03:23,920
It just feels like plot convenience, but not like like character consistency.

1475
01:03:23,920 --> 01:03:25,920
Yeah, I don't know.

1476
01:03:25,920 --> 01:03:28,920
But next time we're getting our for real beach episode.

1477
01:03:28,920 --> 01:03:35,920
I know I jokingly said we get a beach episode for all the enemies when I cannot believe straight up.

1478
01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:40,920
It's going to be Misaki comes out in her little tankini or something and blushes

1479
01:03:40,920 --> 01:03:44,920
and Kotaro blushes and shit like that.

1480
01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:52,920
And God, sparklers and let's take just the two of us.

1481
01:03:52,920 --> 01:03:53,920
Here's what I want.

1482
01:03:53,920 --> 01:03:55,920
I don't want swimsuit reveals for any of the characters.

1483
01:03:55,920 --> 01:03:58,920
I want swimsuit reveals for the angels.

1484
01:03:58,920 --> 01:04:01,920
I want to see a car wearing a different outfit.

1485
01:04:01,920 --> 01:04:02,920
I want to see.

1486
01:04:02,920 --> 01:04:03,920
I'm trying to remember.

1487
01:04:03,920 --> 01:04:05,920
I feel like that might be a thing.

1488
01:04:05,920 --> 01:04:06,920
Oh, dude, I bet it is.

1489
01:04:06,920 --> 01:04:07,920
I mean, come on.

1490
01:04:07,920 --> 01:04:10,920
It's like the thing that the angels get the cool outfits.

1491
01:04:10,920 --> 01:04:11,920
Yeah.

1492
01:04:11,920 --> 01:04:12,920
Oh, man.

1493
01:04:12,920 --> 01:04:13,920
Yeah.

1494
01:04:13,920 --> 01:04:15,920
I want to see a car wear a different outfit.

1495
01:04:15,920 --> 01:04:16,920
Yeah, that's true.

1496
01:04:16,920 --> 01:04:17,920
We'll see.

1497
01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:18,920
It's only got the one outfit.

1498
01:04:18,920 --> 01:04:22,920
We'll sew her own little bathing suit together, too.

1499
01:04:22,920 --> 01:04:23,920
Yeah.

1500
01:04:23,920 --> 01:04:25,920
I yeah.

1501
01:04:25,920 --> 01:04:27,920
We'll see about next episode.

1502
01:04:27,920 --> 01:04:29,920
Like I usually like the ones where they just hang out.

1503
01:04:29,920 --> 01:04:30,920
So maybe I'll like those.

1504
01:04:30,920 --> 01:04:33,920
I didn't like these because it's like, oh, we're just hinting at the fact that people like each other.

1505
01:04:33,920 --> 01:04:35,920
And then we're not going to do anything.

1506
01:04:35,920 --> 01:04:37,920
It's going to be all about indirectness.

1507
01:04:37,920 --> 01:04:38,920
Like, come on.

1508
01:04:38,920 --> 01:04:44,920
Next to our romance thing, so they should be more direct if it's back to back romance.

1509
01:04:44,920 --> 01:04:47,920
A plot heavy things.

1510
01:04:47,920 --> 01:04:51,920
My thumbnail for the next episode has show a show go in it.

1511
01:04:51,920 --> 01:04:52,920
So maybe.

1512
01:04:52,920 --> 01:04:53,920
Yeah.

1513
01:04:53,920 --> 01:04:59,920
So she's going to be like, oh, Miss hockey, you got to get a cuter bathing suit.

1514
01:04:59,920 --> 01:05:01,920
That let's go shopping.

1515
01:05:01,920 --> 01:05:02,920
I can see that being a thing.

1516
01:05:02,920 --> 01:05:03,920
Okay.

1517
01:05:03,920 --> 01:05:06,920
Well, that's episode 20 of angelic layer.

1518
01:05:06,920 --> 01:05:08,920
More episodes.

1519
01:05:08,920 --> 01:05:10,920
Only six more.

1520
01:05:10,920 --> 01:05:12,920
We're going to we have to get the good.

1521
01:05:12,920 --> 01:05:13,920
So she's going to fight.

1522
01:05:13,920 --> 01:05:15,920
Oh, Jiro and she's going to fight shuko.

1523
01:05:15,920 --> 01:05:16,920
And that's it.

1524
01:05:16,920 --> 01:05:17,920
Right.

1525
01:05:17,920 --> 01:05:18,920
Like that's basically we're done.

1526
01:05:18,920 --> 01:05:19,920
Let's left.

1527
01:05:19,920 --> 01:05:20,920
Yeah.

1528
01:05:20,920 --> 01:05:23,920
I mean size in the comp is the size still in the competition.

1529
01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:24,920
So we'll probably see her.

1530
01:05:24,920 --> 01:05:25,920
Yeah.

1531
01:05:25,920 --> 01:05:28,920
You know, passing size going to lose to shuko.

1532
01:05:28,920 --> 01:05:29,920
Oh, maybe.

1533
01:05:29,920 --> 01:05:30,920
Yeah.

1534
01:05:30,920 --> 01:05:31,920
She challenged her.

1535
01:05:31,920 --> 01:05:32,920
Oh, yeah.

1536
01:05:32,920 --> 01:05:33,920
You got to pay.

1537
01:05:33,920 --> 01:05:34,920
Oh, that's right.

1538
01:05:34,920 --> 01:05:36,920
Yeah.

1539
01:05:36,920 --> 01:05:37,920
Yeah.

1540
01:05:37,920 --> 01:05:38,920
Yeah.

1541
01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:40,920
So I'm looking forward to those episodes.

1542
01:05:40,920 --> 01:05:42,920
I think, you know, we got the good stuff.

1543
01:05:42,920 --> 01:05:45,920
These were just we got to, I guess we had to go up to episode 26.

1544
01:05:45,920 --> 01:05:47,920
Couldn't have been a 24 episode show.

1545
01:05:47,920 --> 01:05:49,920
I had to be a 26 episode show.

1546
01:05:49,920 --> 01:05:53,920
But that's how it was back in 2003 or whenever.

1547
01:05:53,920 --> 01:05:54,920
Yeah.

1548
01:05:54,920 --> 01:05:56,920
Now you're lucky if you get more than 12.

1549
01:05:56,920 --> 01:05:57,920
Yeah.

1550
01:05:57,920 --> 01:05:59,920
Because everything sucks now.

1551
01:05:59,920 --> 01:06:00,920
Man.

1552
01:06:00,920 --> 01:06:01,920
Okay.

1553
01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:02,920
Miss filler.

1554
01:06:02,920 --> 01:06:06,920
I mean, I'm going to get an episode where the star gets to be shoo.

1555
01:06:06,920 --> 01:06:07,920
Gee.

1556
01:06:07,920 --> 01:06:09,920
And I get to be like, oh yeah, shoo.

1557
01:06:09,920 --> 01:06:10,920
Gee.

1558
01:06:10,920 --> 01:06:11,920
He's great.

1559
01:06:11,920 --> 01:06:12,920
Yeah.

1560
01:06:12,920 --> 01:06:13,920
Yes.

1561
01:06:13,920 --> 01:06:15,920
I mean, yeah, he's a hoot.

1562
01:06:15,920 --> 01:06:16,920
That one.

1563
01:06:16,920 --> 01:06:17,920
He's fun.

1564
01:06:17,920 --> 01:06:18,920
They're fun.

1565
01:06:18,920 --> 01:06:20,920
And MVP of these of this, of this.

1566
01:06:20,920 --> 01:06:21,920
Episode.

1567
01:06:21,920 --> 01:06:22,920
Indeed.

1568
01:06:22,920 --> 01:06:23,920
Indeed.

1569
01:06:23,920 --> 01:06:24,920
The best.

1570
01:06:24,920 --> 01:06:25,920
A delight.

1571
01:06:25,920 --> 01:06:26,920
All right.

1572
01:06:26,920 --> 01:06:30,920
So we got three more podcast episodes of this.

1573
01:06:30,920 --> 01:06:35,920
And then on to the next for reals, for reals show Joe.

1574
01:06:35,920 --> 01:06:36,920
That's right.

1575
01:06:36,920 --> 01:06:39,920
It's going to be a real probably big change.

1576
01:06:39,920 --> 01:06:42,920
We'll probably do a bonus episode of the manga.

1577
01:06:42,920 --> 01:06:43,920
Yeah.

1578
01:06:43,920 --> 01:06:44,920
Yeah.

1579
01:06:44,920 --> 01:06:45,920
Yeah.

1580
01:06:45,920 --> 01:06:46,920
You'll get it by then.

1581
01:06:46,920 --> 01:06:47,920
Yeah.

1582
01:06:47,920 --> 01:06:48,920
We'll see.

1583
01:06:48,920 --> 01:06:49,920
Probably.

1584
01:06:49,920 --> 01:06:52,920
And then we'll be done with Angelic layer.

1585
01:06:52,920 --> 01:06:53,920
Yep.

1586
01:06:53,920 --> 01:06:54,920
Forever.

1587
01:06:54,920 --> 01:06:58,920
It'll only live in our dreams of it existing in real life.

1588
01:06:58,920 --> 01:07:03,920
Maybe one day when AR really takes off.

1589
01:07:03,920 --> 01:07:04,920
Yeah.

1590
01:07:04,920 --> 01:07:05,920
God.

1591
01:07:05,920 --> 01:07:06,920
That'd be good.

1592
01:07:06,920 --> 01:07:07,920
So cool.

1593
01:07:07,920 --> 01:07:10,920
Anyway, if you have questions about Angelic layer, you can send them to our email.

1594
01:07:10,920 --> 01:07:13,920
Show Joe pod at gmail.com.

1595
01:07:13,920 --> 01:07:14,920
Yeah.

1596
01:07:14,920 --> 01:07:15,920
So make sure to do that.

1597
01:07:15,920 --> 01:07:20,920
We'll answer some of those if we'd have them and our final and our ultimate.

1598
01:07:20,920 --> 01:07:24,920
I was going to say pen ultimate, but it's the ultimate episode.

1599
01:07:24,920 --> 01:07:25,920
Yeah.

1600
01:07:25,920 --> 01:07:26,920
All right.

1601
01:07:26,920 --> 01:07:32,920
Let's do start with recommendations because I still need to think of one.

1602
01:07:32,920 --> 01:07:36,920
So another thing I did last week was I watched another movie.

1603
01:07:36,920 --> 01:07:41,920
I watched the movie in the anime movie.

1604
01:07:41,920 --> 01:07:42,920
Perfect blue.

1605
01:07:42,920 --> 01:07:44,920
Oh, I think I've heard of that.

1606
01:07:44,920 --> 01:07:45,920
Yeah.

1607
01:07:45,920 --> 01:07:48,920
It's because this movie is incredibly good.

1608
01:07:48,920 --> 01:07:53,920
So this is a movie from sometime period.

1609
01:07:53,920 --> 01:07:56,920
It's from 1998.

1610
01:07:56,920 --> 01:08:02,920
It's a Satoshi Khan movie who's a who's a director who did several things that are

1611
01:08:02,920 --> 01:08:07,920
like highly praised like millennium actress and paprika and things like that.

1612
01:08:07,920 --> 01:08:16,920
It's about a woman who is like who leaves an idol group to pursue a career as an actress

1613
01:08:16,920 --> 01:08:19,920
kind of at the behest of her agency.

1614
01:08:19,920 --> 01:08:24,920
That's like very small and like, you know, none of them have very much money.

1615
01:08:24,920 --> 01:08:31,920
She tries to like navigate that space of like becoming an actress, which involves

1616
01:08:31,920 --> 01:08:36,920
her having to do things that she doesn't necessarily want to do like certain types

1617
01:08:36,920 --> 01:08:42,920
of scenes and has to deal with like being like sexually objectified like all those

1618
01:08:42,920 --> 01:08:47,920
other stuff, you know, while trying to like navigate this industry.

1619
01:08:47,920 --> 01:08:52,920
Which causes her to have hallucinations.

1620
01:08:52,920 --> 01:08:56,920
Causes her some mental distress, which results in hallucinations and being unsure

1621
01:08:56,920 --> 01:08:58,920
what is and isn't reality.

1622
01:08:58,920 --> 01:09:01,920
And also maybe she's being stalked.

1623
01:09:01,920 --> 01:09:03,920
Oh dear.

1624
01:09:03,920 --> 01:09:07,920
And so a lot of things happen and it is an incredible movie.

1625
01:09:07,920 --> 01:09:14,920
It has scenes that were, I think, later referenced in like Black Swan and things

1626
01:09:14,920 --> 01:09:17,920
like that.

1627
01:09:17,920 --> 01:09:20,920
So, you know, this influential movie, it's really good.

1628
01:09:20,920 --> 01:09:26,920
I think it uses animation like exceptionally well where it's able to like blend in, you

1629
01:09:26,920 --> 01:09:31,920
know, like dream sequences with real life and you can't exactly tell like what is real

1630
01:09:31,920 --> 01:09:34,920
and what is actually happening.

1631
01:09:34,920 --> 01:09:37,920
It's really interestingly directed.

1632
01:09:37,920 --> 01:09:40,920
And I think about this movie all the time.

1633
01:09:40,920 --> 01:09:42,920
Basically, anytime.

1634
01:09:42,920 --> 01:09:47,920
Like if you think about like how our actress is treated in like the world we live in, you

1635
01:09:47,920 --> 01:09:52,920
look at like Megan Fox and Freddie Spears and like all the like the weird shit that

1636
01:09:52,920 --> 01:09:53,920
happened to them.

1637
01:09:53,920 --> 01:09:57,920
And you're like, I think about this movie and this, it's really good.

1638
01:09:57,920 --> 01:09:58,920
Really good.

1639
01:09:58,920 --> 01:09:59,920
Kind of horny.

1640
01:09:59,920 --> 01:10:02,920
So, you know, so it's kind of a thriller.

1641
01:10:02,920 --> 01:10:03,920
Cool.

1642
01:10:03,920 --> 01:10:04,920
It's a thriller.

1643
01:10:04,920 --> 01:10:05,920
It's really good.

1644
01:10:05,920 --> 01:10:06,920
So you should check it out.

1645
01:10:06,920 --> 01:10:07,920
Perfect movie.

1646
01:10:07,920 --> 01:10:10,920
Recommendations back to back from Joe.

1647
01:10:10,920 --> 01:10:14,920
And I am going to mix it up with my recommendation.

1648
01:10:14,920 --> 01:10:17,920
I ain't going to recommend a graphic novel.

1649
01:10:17,920 --> 01:10:23,920
So I don't know if you've, no, I think we might have discussed this paper girls.

1650
01:10:23,920 --> 01:10:28,920
I watched the Amazon show and I really liked it.

1651
01:10:28,920 --> 01:10:33,920
And a few weeks ago, I was half price books and I saw that they had the graphic novels.

1652
01:10:33,920 --> 01:10:36,920
I decided to pick them up and they're really good.

1653
01:10:36,920 --> 01:10:42,560
And yeah, because it's I always like a show that's kind of set in an earlier decade that

1654
01:10:42,560 --> 01:10:43,920
I never got to experience.

1655
01:10:43,920 --> 01:10:50,920
So it has like a very distinct kind of setting and apparel and all that.

1656
01:10:50,920 --> 01:11:00,200
So paper girls is kind of set in the 80s already the little descriptor super short in the early

1657
01:11:00,200 --> 01:11:06,400
hours after Halloween of 1988 for 12 year old newspaper delivery girls and cover the

1658
01:11:06,400 --> 01:11:10,400
most important story of all time.

1659
01:11:10,400 --> 01:11:18,480
Suburban drama and supernatural mysteries colliding the smash sit smash hit series about

1660
01:11:18,480 --> 01:11:22,400
nostalgia first jobs in the last days of childhood.

1661
01:11:22,400 --> 01:11:25,200
Yeah, it's super good.

1662
01:11:25,200 --> 01:11:26,840
I recommend the show.

1663
01:11:26,840 --> 01:11:31,840
I haven't finished reading the graphic novels, but I don't really this is I think the first

1664
01:11:31,840 --> 01:11:36,360
time I bought a graphic novel is normally, you know, they're in the manga section, but

1665
01:11:36,360 --> 01:11:39,640
I'm like, I'm here for the Japanese stuff.

1666
01:11:39,640 --> 01:11:44,360
Yeah, I'm reading here that takes place in Cleveland, Ohio.

1667
01:11:44,360 --> 01:11:46,360
Oh, yeah.

1668
01:11:46,360 --> 01:11:47,360
Yeah.

1669
01:11:47,360 --> 01:11:52,360
Ohio place to be the place to be.

1670
01:11:52,360 --> 01:11:54,360
Yeah, for sure.

1671
01:11:54,360 --> 01:11:55,360
Yeah.

1672
01:11:55,360 --> 01:12:03,640
So that's recommendations and excitingly we have a new Apple podcast review to read.

1673
01:12:03,640 --> 01:12:05,360
That's right.

1674
01:12:05,360 --> 01:12:13,120
If you like the show, please rate us five stars on your podcast platform of choice, whether

1675
01:12:13,120 --> 01:12:18,320
that be Apple podcasts or Spotify or some third thing I'm not aware of.

1676
01:12:18,320 --> 01:12:22,560
If you leave a comment, I will read it out on Apple podcasts.

1677
01:12:22,560 --> 01:12:24,040
Apparently this takes a little while.

1678
01:12:24,040 --> 01:12:28,800
So like if you post it and don't immediately see it there, it might just be processing.

1679
01:12:28,800 --> 01:12:35,400
This is one from LWS 537.

1680
01:12:35,400 --> 01:12:38,080
She says five stars totally hooked.

1681
01:12:38,080 --> 01:12:42,160
I thought I might listen to an episode or two, but here I am on episode seven and can't

1682
01:12:42,160 --> 01:12:43,280
wait for more.

1683
01:12:43,280 --> 01:12:44,360
You guys are so fun.

1684
01:12:44,360 --> 01:12:47,280
I love the recaps notes and analysis.

1685
01:12:47,280 --> 01:12:52,520
I can almost play the show in my head, which is a bonus because we can't stream it anywhere.

1686
01:12:52,520 --> 01:12:53,520
Yeah.

1687
01:12:53,520 --> 01:12:54,800
And let me just go on record.

1688
01:12:54,800 --> 01:12:59,560
I consider myself a pretty deep thinker and I am totally team Sarah.

1689
01:12:59,560 --> 01:13:00,560
Re Shuko.

1690
01:13:00,560 --> 01:13:04,240
I hate the name.

1691
01:13:04,240 --> 01:13:05,240
Re Shuko.

1692
01:13:05,240 --> 01:13:09,120
Although she found herself in a tragic situation, the choices she made were to mitigate her

1693
01:13:09,120 --> 01:13:14,600
own pain and flew in the face of any maternal instinct we would hope she would possess.

1694
01:13:14,600 --> 01:13:15,600
Right there with you, Sarah.

1695
01:13:15,600 --> 01:13:16,600
Yeah.

1696
01:13:16,600 --> 01:13:17,600
Keep up the good work.

1697
01:13:17,600 --> 01:13:18,600
Yeah.

1698
01:13:18,600 --> 01:13:19,600
Yeah.

1699
01:13:19,600 --> 01:13:20,600
My mom agrees with you.

1700
01:13:20,600 --> 01:13:21,600
Congratulations.

1701
01:13:21,600 --> 01:13:22,600
Yay.

1702
01:13:22,600 --> 01:13:25,440
I'm so grateful for all I've ever wanted.

1703
01:13:25,440 --> 01:13:27,600
You know, you're not wrong.

1704
01:13:27,600 --> 01:13:30,560
She is totally being kind of selfish about this.

1705
01:13:30,560 --> 01:13:32,120
I'm not saying you're wrong.

1706
01:13:32,120 --> 01:13:34,600
I'm still just being sympathetic because, you know.

1707
01:13:34,600 --> 01:13:40,240
Because you're human with the heart and I like to have a black hole in my chest where

1708
01:13:40,240 --> 01:13:42,240
the heart should be.

1709
01:13:42,240 --> 01:13:43,240
Wow.

1710
01:13:43,240 --> 01:13:47,360
It's mostly because like she's spending her time to be like a researcher and like help

1711
01:13:47,360 --> 01:13:48,360
people.

1712
01:13:48,360 --> 01:13:54,360
If she was just sitting around your obligations or to your child first.

1713
01:13:54,360 --> 01:13:55,360
Yeah.

1714
01:13:55,360 --> 01:13:56,360
Man.

1715
01:13:56,360 --> 01:13:57,360
Okay.

1716
01:13:57,360 --> 01:13:58,360
Yay.

1717
01:13:58,360 --> 01:13:59,360
Recommendation.

1718
01:13:59,360 --> 01:14:04,280
So now we've got both our moms having reviewed.

1719
01:14:04,280 --> 01:14:05,280
That's right.

1720
01:14:05,280 --> 01:14:06,280
Yeah.

1721
01:14:06,280 --> 01:14:12,360
If you would like to join our moms in the Pantheon reviewers, please leave a review.

1722
01:14:12,360 --> 01:14:13,360
Please.

1723
01:14:13,360 --> 01:14:14,360
Please.

1724
01:14:14,360 --> 01:14:15,360
Yeah.

1725
01:14:15,360 --> 01:14:16,360
Oh, man.

1726
01:14:16,360 --> 01:14:20,520
If you like the show, you can also tell, you know, word of mouth is really the way people

1727
01:14:20,520 --> 01:14:21,520
hear things.

1728
01:14:21,520 --> 01:14:26,680
So, you know, if you want to recommend it to people who like anime or post it about it

1729
01:14:26,680 --> 01:14:33,760
on your forums, which you're on in 2024, on forums, feel free to do so.

1730
01:14:33,760 --> 01:14:34,760
Yeah.

1731
01:14:34,760 --> 01:14:36,560
Because if we do it, then it's self-promotion and people hate it.

1732
01:14:36,560 --> 01:14:37,720
So you try it.

1733
01:14:37,720 --> 01:14:40,840
I mean, I self promote all the time.

1734
01:14:40,840 --> 01:14:43,320
I'm like, yeah, have you heard about my anime podcast?

1735
01:14:43,320 --> 01:14:44,320
People love to hear.

1736
01:14:44,320 --> 01:14:45,320
Have you?

1737
01:14:45,320 --> 01:14:48,920
Yeah, I talk, I try to slip it in here and there.

1738
01:14:48,920 --> 01:14:55,200
Oh, man, I got to, I got to turn this around real quick because I'll be out of town for

1739
01:14:55,200 --> 01:14:57,000
work next week.

1740
01:14:57,000 --> 01:14:59,000
So I will have to edit this.

1741
01:14:59,000 --> 01:15:00,000
Man, you are busy.

1742
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:01,000
I know.

1743
01:15:01,000 --> 01:15:02,000
Oh, man.

1744
01:15:02,000 --> 01:15:06,720
And then I'll be visiting you soon after.

1745
01:15:06,720 --> 01:15:08,880
Life is wild right now.

1746
01:15:08,880 --> 01:15:10,960
I'm just go, go, go.

1747
01:15:10,960 --> 01:15:12,560
Stop being a sloth, Sarah.

1748
01:15:12,560 --> 01:15:13,560
Like live your life.

1749
01:15:13,560 --> 01:15:14,560
You're only 30.

1750
01:15:14,560 --> 01:15:16,600
Like get it together.

1751
01:15:16,600 --> 01:15:17,600
Do things.

1752
01:15:17,600 --> 01:15:18,600
So yeah.

1753
01:15:18,600 --> 01:15:19,600
Yeah.

1754
01:15:19,600 --> 01:15:22,160
Oh God, I'm even doing freaking Pilates.

1755
01:15:22,160 --> 01:15:23,160
It's just a free class.

1756
01:15:23,160 --> 01:15:24,360
So I'm like, oh, it's free.

1757
01:15:24,360 --> 01:15:25,360
I'll try it.

1758
01:15:25,360 --> 01:15:28,080
I'll probably be like, oh God, that was cool for the one time.

1759
01:15:28,080 --> 01:15:29,080
Never doing that again.

1760
01:15:29,080 --> 01:15:31,680
But maybe, maybe it'll resonate with me.

1761
01:15:31,680 --> 01:15:32,680
That's good.

1762
01:15:32,680 --> 01:15:33,680
Yeah.

1763
01:15:33,680 --> 01:15:34,680
Look at me.

1764
01:15:34,680 --> 01:15:35,680
I had to spend class.

1765
01:15:35,680 --> 01:15:36,680
You do cult Pilates.

1766
01:15:36,680 --> 01:15:37,680
The muscles go.

1767
01:15:37,680 --> 01:15:38,680
Stay healthy.

1768
01:15:38,680 --> 01:15:39,680
Yeah.

1769
01:15:39,680 --> 01:15:40,680
That's something I need to work on desperately.

1770
01:15:40,680 --> 01:15:41,680
Yeah.

1771
01:15:41,680 --> 01:15:42,680
Yeah.

1772
01:15:42,680 --> 01:15:48,760
So guys, don't be sad that Angelic Layers is almost over because you've all been waiting

1773
01:15:48,760 --> 01:15:52,840
for us to actually cover a show joke series and not shown in series.

1774
01:15:52,840 --> 01:15:53,840
So let's let's.

1775
01:15:53,840 --> 01:15:57,640
I still don't feel like it feels very shown any this one.

1776
01:15:57,640 --> 01:15:58,640
Yeah.

1777
01:15:58,640 --> 01:15:59,640
Thank goodness.

1778
01:15:59,640 --> 01:16:00,640
All right.

1779
01:16:00,640 --> 01:16:03,400
I would have just totally blown it for our podcast right off the bat.

1780
01:16:03,400 --> 01:16:04,400
Okay.

1781
01:16:04,400 --> 01:16:07,840
You say that, but like it's funny because you seem to like the show and stuff.

1782
01:16:07,840 --> 01:16:08,840
You're like, I want the fighting.

1783
01:16:08,840 --> 01:16:09,840
Yeah.

1784
01:16:09,840 --> 01:16:10,840
I know.

1785
01:16:10,840 --> 01:16:11,840
Throw some punches.

1786
01:16:11,840 --> 01:16:12,840
No, no, no.

1787
01:16:12,840 --> 01:16:13,840
No, no, no.

1788
01:16:13,840 --> 01:16:14,840
I know.

1789
01:16:14,840 --> 01:16:15,840
I know.

1790
01:16:15,840 --> 01:16:16,840
Why don't we decide on Shojo?

1791
01:16:16,840 --> 01:16:19,440
Well, first the name just works and it's like.

1792
01:16:19,440 --> 01:16:20,840
You wanted to show me.

1793
01:16:20,840 --> 01:16:21,840
Yeah.

1794
01:16:21,840 --> 01:16:22,840
You wanted to show me this.

1795
01:16:22,840 --> 01:16:24,840
I'm familiar with it.

1796
01:16:24,840 --> 01:16:27,040
And I've like seen shown in as well.

1797
01:16:27,040 --> 01:16:29,320
So it's not like that's something I'm unfamiliar with.

1798
01:16:29,320 --> 01:16:33,720
You could have made me watch like horrifying horror enemies to like haunt my dreams.

1799
01:16:33,720 --> 01:16:36,520
I guess that we can work out still pitching.

1800
01:16:36,520 --> 01:16:37,520
No.

1801
01:16:37,520 --> 01:16:38,520
I don't want to do that.

1802
01:16:38,520 --> 01:16:40,520
Shojo reverse where I show you.

1803
01:16:40,520 --> 01:16:43,520
Yes, yes, we'll do that eventually.

1804
01:16:43,520 --> 01:16:44,520
One day.

1805
01:16:44,520 --> 01:16:46,760
Did you ever watch Elfin Leigh at that show?

1806
01:16:46,760 --> 01:16:47,760
No, I never did.

1807
01:16:47,760 --> 01:16:48,760
Gary.

1808
01:16:48,760 --> 01:16:53,040
I mean, I only watched one episode, but the animation style is upsetting to me.

1809
01:16:53,040 --> 01:16:54,040
Oh, God.

1810
01:16:54,040 --> 01:16:55,040
Well, we could.

1811
01:16:55,040 --> 01:16:56,800
I have never seen it.

1812
01:16:56,800 --> 01:17:00,400
You think I'd like a cat ear girl, but no, dear.

1813
01:17:00,400 --> 01:17:01,400
Okay.

1814
01:17:01,400 --> 01:17:02,400
Okay.

1815
01:17:02,400 --> 01:17:03,400
Bye.

1816
01:17:03,400 --> 01:17:04,400
Podcast over.

1817
01:17:04,400 --> 01:17:05,400
Podcast over.

1818
01:17:05,400 --> 01:17:09,840
Hey, remember, if you're like a tall girl, don't worry.

1819
01:17:09,840 --> 01:17:13,240
Some boy will show up at the end of the episode and be like, you're kind of cute and that'll

1820
01:17:13,240 --> 01:17:14,720
fix all your problems.

1821
01:17:14,720 --> 01:17:15,720
Yeah.

1822
01:17:15,720 --> 01:17:16,720
Angelic layer.

1823
01:17:16,720 --> 01:17:18,600
There's somebody out there for everyone.

1824
01:17:18,600 --> 01:17:23,920
If you if if serial killers get love letters in prison, then you can find someone to love

1825
01:17:23,920 --> 01:17:24,920
you too.

1826
01:17:24,920 --> 01:17:27,920
I this is not I'm not sending this message.

1827
01:17:27,920 --> 01:17:29,920
I do not agree with this.

1828
01:17:29,920 --> 01:17:30,920
What?

1829
01:17:30,920 --> 01:17:33,720
No, someone can find everyone can find someone that loves them.

1830
01:17:33,720 --> 01:17:34,720
Yeah, maybe not.

1831
01:17:34,720 --> 01:17:36,560
What if people are just unlovable?

1832
01:17:36,560 --> 01:17:37,720
What if you like live in the middle of nowhere?

1833
01:17:37,720 --> 01:17:38,720
Where are you going to find someone?

1834
01:17:38,720 --> 01:17:40,600
I think that's a broad statement.

1835
01:17:40,600 --> 01:17:46,240
Well, you know, it's not like, yeah, but like being being raised in a ball.

1836
01:17:46,240 --> 01:17:49,800
So I find it freakishly tall, dude.

1837
01:17:49,800 --> 01:17:55,600
Just start going hanging out at like the like amateur basketball leagues or something.

1838
01:17:55,600 --> 01:17:56,600
Yeah.

1839
01:17:56,600 --> 01:17:58,720
There will always be someone taller.

1840
01:17:58,720 --> 01:17:59,720
Yeah.

1841
01:17:59,720 --> 01:18:00,720
Yeah.

1842
01:18:00,720 --> 01:18:02,520
And then you can be or maybe just don't care.

1843
01:18:02,520 --> 01:18:07,360
Maybe you can just be like we can all just move past just like people for who they are.

1844
01:18:07,360 --> 01:18:09,560
Yeah, maybe you should like care about people's personalities.

1845
01:18:09,560 --> 01:18:15,600
Show them who you are and not just because you're like conventionally attractive.

1846
01:18:15,600 --> 01:18:18,200
Look at us just dropping the drop in the deep.

1847
01:18:18,200 --> 01:18:19,200
I can't.

1848
01:18:19,200 --> 01:18:20,200
I don't know.

1849
01:18:20,200 --> 01:18:23,480
I don't know what happened in the world where like I feel like things have taken a step

1850
01:18:23,480 --> 01:18:28,280
back a bit in terms of like connecting with each other.

1851
01:18:28,280 --> 01:18:29,280
Yeah.

1852
01:18:29,280 --> 01:18:32,880
Connecting with people like the shallowness of like social media being like everybody

1853
01:18:32,880 --> 01:18:36,560
must be beautiful even though it's like, aren't we doing a whole thing or it's like

1854
01:18:36,560 --> 01:18:38,280
not about beauty that much?

1855
01:18:38,280 --> 01:18:41,800
And we were like trying to move past that and then we all just like ratchet it on the

1856
01:18:41,800 --> 01:18:44,560
brakes because Instagram showed up.

1857
01:18:44,560 --> 01:18:45,560
Yeah.

1858
01:18:45,560 --> 01:18:46,560
We'll see.

1859
01:18:46,560 --> 01:18:48,560
And now everything's reality TV.

1860
01:18:48,560 --> 01:18:49,560
Hey, I love it.

1861
01:18:49,560 --> 01:18:51,280
I feel like I'm sounding like an old man.

1862
01:18:51,280 --> 01:18:53,280
I love love violence.

1863
01:18:53,280 --> 01:18:56,440
I used to we used to care about people's personality in my days.

1864
01:18:56,440 --> 01:18:57,440
Now it's all just.

1865
01:18:57,440 --> 01:18:59,520
No, it's more like airbrushing.

1866
01:18:59,520 --> 01:19:02,360
I didn't want my woman to have a personality.

1867
01:19:02,360 --> 01:19:04,640
So that's like personality didn't matter.

1868
01:19:04,640 --> 01:19:12,000
Oh, man, OK, well, we can continue on this like trajectory of the futility of love.

1869
01:19:12,000 --> 01:19:16,680
And but oh, I bet when we watch the next show, I'm going to be talking about this even

1870
01:19:16,680 --> 01:19:17,680
earlier.

1871
01:19:17,680 --> 01:19:21,000
No, you're going to be like, oh, my God, they're so cute.

1872
01:19:21,000 --> 01:19:23,440
Like blushy, blushy, doki doki.

1873
01:19:23,440 --> 01:19:24,440
You think so?

1874
01:19:24,440 --> 01:19:25,440
I will be.

1875
01:19:25,440 --> 01:19:27,600
I'm going to be like, oh, my God, I love them.

1876
01:19:27,600 --> 01:19:28,600
I love them.

1877
01:19:28,600 --> 01:19:33,480
I'm not going to be like, I just don't want people's like internal insecurities to be

1878
01:19:33,480 --> 01:19:35,600
solved by some guy liking them.

1879
01:19:35,600 --> 01:19:37,520
I find that to be bleak.

1880
01:19:37,520 --> 01:19:40,720
That's a bleak way of looking at the world of like, yeah, I have problems with myself,

1881
01:19:40,720 --> 01:19:44,280
but if I find someone who loves me for me, then it's fine.

1882
01:19:44,280 --> 01:19:47,800
Even though I never dealt with my own insecurities, I'm like, deal with your insecurities.

1883
01:19:47,800 --> 01:19:49,720
You don't need this guy to help you.

1884
01:19:49,720 --> 01:19:51,800
Yeah, I'm going to be a totally new person.

1885
01:19:51,800 --> 01:19:53,600
You're going to be like, what happened to the Sarah?

1886
01:19:53,600 --> 01:19:56,160
I know that like shit's on everything.

1887
01:19:56,160 --> 01:19:59,400
And I'm just going to be like, oh, my God, he's so cute.

1888
01:19:59,400 --> 01:20:02,600
Oh, like puppy love.

1889
01:20:02,600 --> 01:20:04,120
My heart is full.

1890
01:20:04,120 --> 01:20:08,360
I feel like who what happened to my my co-host Sarah?

1891
01:20:08,360 --> 01:20:10,360
What happened to the hater?

1892
01:20:10,360 --> 01:20:11,360
What happened to that?

1893
01:20:11,360 --> 01:20:12,360
We're the podcast haters.

1894
01:20:12,360 --> 01:20:16,240
What happened off the magic of shojo and what it has to offer.

1895
01:20:16,240 --> 01:20:18,240
I can still be valid.

1896
01:20:18,240 --> 01:20:19,240
Oh man.

1897
01:20:19,240 --> 01:20:20,240
Okay.

1898
01:20:20,240 --> 01:20:22,080
All right, folks, just wait.

1899
01:20:22,080 --> 01:20:24,080
You thought this was us getting into romance.

1900
01:20:24,080 --> 01:20:26,160
The next two episodes are going to be super romance.

1901
01:20:26,160 --> 01:20:28,400
So who knows how this is going to play out?

1902
01:20:28,400 --> 01:20:29,400
Maybe they'll be good.

1903
01:20:29,400 --> 01:20:33,080
They'll actually be about romance that are just hinting at it for like an hour.

1904
01:20:33,080 --> 01:20:34,080
We'll see.

1905
01:20:34,080 --> 01:20:35,080
Doubtful.

1906
01:20:35,080 --> 01:20:36,080
But we'll see.

1907
01:20:36,080 --> 01:20:37,080
We can hope.

1908
01:20:37,080 --> 01:20:39,520
And on that note, bye bye.

1909
01:20:39,520 --> 01:20:55,600
Bye everyone.
