1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,120
Hey, it's Sarah from editing. Since we're finishing up our first series on showjoe,

2
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:14,240
I figured I'd re-release our pilot episode where Joe and I went through many anime intros

3
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:20,320
and decided to do the one from there as our first series, that one being Angelic Lair. So

4
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:25,520
I'm re-releasing it, just a heads up. There will probably be some quiet moments from when we're

5
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:33,040
just watching it and not talking, and I was too lazy to edit that out. But hey, it's a bonus episode

6
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:38,400
for anyone who wasn't here from the start. So I hope you guys enjoy. Thanks for listening.

7
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:56,480
Welcome to Showjoe, a podcast where I show my friend Joe, some showjoe anime. I'm your host,

8
00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:03,040
Sarah, and with me is none other than Joe himself. Hello, it's me, Joe. I'm also here.

9
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:12,160
Okay, so today is going to be a special episode, kind of a test to see how this all goes.

10
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:18,400
Instead of watching an episode and recapping, we're going to go through a bunch of showjoe

11
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:24,080
openings that I've handpicked for the both of us to watch right on scale one to ten.

12
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:32,560
First correction corner, I said on a scale of one to ten, I meant one to five. My bad.

13
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:38,240
And kind of determine where we want to go from there. But to start, Joe, what have you been

14
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:45,440
watching lately? So I've been watching some really old, some really old hats anime. I'm watching

15
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:51,600
Armored Trooper Bottoms. Have you ever heard of that? No, no, I have not. Have you ever heard of this

16
00:01:51,600 --> 00:02:01,360
extremely old? I don't care. Yeah, it's like weird because I'm watching it. So I'm watching it as

17
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,400
part of the Great Gundam Project, which is a podcast where they watch through all of the

18
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:08,400
Gundam shows. And this is like a side thing they did that I didn't like watch the first time. But

19
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,680
then they're like, we're going to watch the next in the series. Oh, shoot, I got to watch this.

20
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:19,920
So it's mech anime. The thing about it is like the guy who designed the like mechs for Gundam

21
00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:26,400
also designed for this. So they look really cool. But it's super weird because like it's mostly just

22
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:34,000
like a show that's like, imagine mechs like imagine a mech anime, but it's Apocalypse Now or

23
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:39,760
it's Blade Runner or like some other thing like it's just a lot of genre stuff. And then we're

24
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:44,560
getting to the end and there's like all this weird stuff happening. So it's like a very bizarre show.

25
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:50,960
I'm looking at it now. It's from the 80s. So it's pretty good. You want to see like a bunch of

26
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,400
you want to see a dude just like shoot a bunch of cops for like a million episodes?

27
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:01,120
That's what it is. I'm so ready to watch some show and show and get something different.

28
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:14,880
What have you been watching, Sarah? Let's see. Well, the last anime I think I watched was it's

29
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:23,600
called I think it's called Sugar Apple Fairy Tale, which sounds super like cringy, fluffy, but

30
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:33,120
it's kind of a cooking. I'm looking at. Yeah. Sugar is just in the right order. It's like

31
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:37,760
four words. I feel like I get mixed up sometimes. Sugar Apple Fairy Tale. Yep. I don't know. It's

32
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:43,920
like a world where there's humans and fairies and fairies are kind of like enslaved. I'm sorry.

33
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:51,760
Only thing they consume is sugar. And so there's like sugar artesians who make fancy

34
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:59,600
sugar confectories that fairies eat. And then this girl is like my mom died. So I'm going to be

35
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:08,800
I'm going to follow her footsteps and be whatever fancy artesian sugar daily. And I need a fairy to

36
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:17,280
like protect me on my journey. And then we find super hunky slune, dude, like gorgeous. I mean,

37
00:04:17,280 --> 00:04:21,840
that's the real reason we're watching this. Because of the guy. Is this is what I'm in for?

38
00:04:21,840 --> 00:04:26,800
Watching you're like, imagine a world where people make a lot of sweets. It's really nice.

39
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,720
And there's fairies and they're all enslaved. And I'm like, hold on. Wait a minute.

40
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:38,240
So we glossed over something important. I mean, it's. Yes. Are they actually enslaved?

41
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:45,280
Yeah, they they. Oh, yeah, because they take they have wings, right? And so the wing one wing

42
00:04:45,280 --> 00:04:50,720
will be like freaking taken from them, like ripped off. And then you can control because if you like

43
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:56,000
squeeze their wing, they'll be like crippled over in pain. So that's how people control them.

44
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:01,440
They take a wing and then they are only free if you give them their wing back.

45
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:08,960
So kind kind of. And our protagonist is very into that. She wants to do all the fairies.

46
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:13,040
Is that what the show is about? Something. Oh, yeah, kind of. I mean, I mean.

47
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:18,880
I mean, at least. Yeah, like she's like here. Take your wing. And then he's like,

48
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:24,880
oh, I'll follow you regardless if you have my wing or not. Because we're the main

49
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:30,720
protagonist and we're destined to fall in love. Oh, wait, the fairy, the hunky guys,

50
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:36,160
the fairy that she liberated. OK, well, that's a little sketch again. It went back to being

51
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:41,920
sketched. Oh, I am looking at pictures of him, though. He's got those pointy ears.

52
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:46,720
He's got that really long hair. He's tall. Why doesn't he tiny? I'm seeing other

53
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:52,880
like fairies that are tiny. There's I think there's different variants because he's like

54
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:57,280
the size of your finger. And this one's like a whole ass dude. Yeah. OK, well, anyway, yeah,

55
00:05:57,280 --> 00:06:02,960
that's the kind of crap we're going to be covering. So. I was thinking that these were not going to

56
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:11,040
have any kind of politics in them at all. I mean, I think most don't. Oh, I bet I'll find it.

57
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:15,920
I'll find some stuff to get mad about. Don't worry. This is a lot of things we're watching

58
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:20,560
are intended for like a 12 year old girl and, you know, we're all dummies.

59
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:24,720
Listen, 12 year old girls can have class consciousness. Sorry.

60
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:34,640
No, dear, we'll see. OK, are you ready to watch these?

61
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:40,720
Our first. OK, so what is our first opening? Our first opening is one of my favorite

62
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:49,120
anime's ever. And the first cosplay I ever did, which is Sakura Kinamoto from Cardcaptor Sakura,

63
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:56,480
which we would watch in sub because the dove is a atrocity that like butchers the show. They like

64
00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:00,640
changed the name to Cardcaptors and changed the order of the episodes to make it seem like it's

65
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:05,280
more about the boy instead of the girl because they didn't think boys, you know, they're trying to

66
00:07:05,280 --> 00:07:13,200
appeal to more, I guess, probably the audience that was watching Pokemon. But anyways, it's very

67
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:18,640
cute. Best part is she has a different outfit for every episode and there's no annoying like magical

68
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:24,720
girl transformation thing that takes 30 seconds every episode. You don't like that? No.

69
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:29,360
You don't like magic? You're fun. I watch like Maratheus Ladybug sometimes and it's very fun

70
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:33,920
when she just does the same thing. Oh, right. I watched the movie for that.

71
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:39,360
Uh, there was like a newer movie, I think on something I watched it because I remember you

72
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:45,680
saying you you have like that show. Anyways, so yeah, we're going to watch this. Let's go.

73
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:51,040
And this is the first opening, which isn't the best one, but you know, what can you do? Pedals.

74
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,800
See, that's the outfit I have. My cosplay.

75
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:02,320
I'm going to use it. Okay.

76
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:05,920
Rollerblading.

77
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:15,520
See, the perfect great thing about because as soon as I have the wig so I could in theory

78
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:20,320
have so many different cosplays of the same character. That's true. I mean, that is a nice

79
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:25,760
thing about having like an actual character outfit going on. She's got this rod.

80
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:29,520
And her staff is so cute. I have that staff. It looks like one of those things used to like

81
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:36,320
pick stuff up that has like a bird head. Oh, yeah, like a clamp, like with the T-Rex heads and stuff.

82
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:42,000
Oh, there's a little mascot guy. Yep. Yep. Got to have one of them.

83
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:48,560
Because she flies on like a broom, but it has wings. So that's cool. It looks like one of the

84
00:08:48,560 --> 00:08:52,400
like the Kirby air ride ships that Kirby rides on.

85
00:08:52,400 --> 00:09:00,480
I don't know. I'm not the only thing I know about Kirby is that I play him and smash so I can suck

86
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:05,440
people in and wear their cute outfits. Outfit thief. That's the whole point. Okay. This doesn't

87
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:12,640
really tell me anything like what happens, though. Well, what? I mean, I saw the craziness of it.

88
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:17,440
I just I don't actually like I know Card Captor Sakura in terms of like, I know I recognize her

89
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:24,800
and the outfit and like the little orange guy. It's a classic. And it's by clamp that group of

90
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:29,920
lady artists who make like supersonic chronicles. It's like all the very cutesy looking stuff,

91
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:34,480
right? I mean, they have more serious like, is it X, X? Don't they make K-On or something?

92
00:09:35,680 --> 00:09:41,520
What? Isn't that clamp? Who's clamp? Am I wrong? They make Kobato. Like, I don't know. There's some

93
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:48,880
boy detective show they made. But it's like a group of artists, which is cool. Although clamp is

94
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,520
not the first thing that comes up like a bunch of like Home Depot.

95
00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:04,080
Like fastening clamps. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Just classic kind of lighthearted, but still with

96
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:10,720
an interesting story and character development. I mean, most of these most openings are not

97
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:15,600
going to be demonstrated. Well, I mean, like, but it may have because like it's called Card

98
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:20,880
Captor Sakura. I don't know what that is. I don't know what any of that means. Like, I still don't

99
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:27,200
know. Like even through Osmosis, I just know her name is Sakura. And she's capturing cards.

100
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,440
Okay. All right. What are we rating that out of? Did you say out of 10 or out of five?

101
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:39,600
Out of five. I'll give it a three, I guess. The third opening is my favorite from the series.

102
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:45,760
Okay. I mean, but it gives you the vibe. It's up beat. It's cheery. You know, I don't know what's

103
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:50,560
your rating. I'll also give you a three. Like, it's fine. Okay. You need, this is unrelated.

104
00:10:50,560 --> 00:10:56,320
Okay. What adds to that. Put an out block on your browser, you insane. Why do I keep

105
00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:02,400
you not having this? I don't know. You block origin. You block. Not that one. That one sucks.

106
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:13,120
Go to the extensions. You block. Yes. So you two at home aren't burdened with ads.

107
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:18,640
Yeah. Block all the ads on your browser when you're watching random YouTube videos. All right.

108
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:26,480
What's the next one? Or on high school host club. Okay. You have. I mean, the opening is catchy.

109
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:38,240
I never read the manga. I'm pretty sure I watched all of this except like the last two episodes

110
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:47,920
or something. Yeah. I mean, it was fine. I don't remember. Okay. Like I enjoyed watching it,

111
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:54,400
but wasn't. I like the tall guy. I like the little gremlin kid. I hate these twins. These

112
00:11:54,400 --> 00:12:05,280
honey senpai. I hate these twins. Yeah. The main guy is nothing. No, Toma key, I think.

113
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:11,440
Yeah. Him. Is that who you like? The silent tall guy? Yeah. I like the nerd tall guy and I like

114
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:19,920
the little tiny boy. Well, see, anytime there's it's like a reverse harem show like this. I always

115
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:24,560
imagine it as if it was an otomi game where they're dateable and then I'm like, which one would I

116
00:12:24,560 --> 00:12:33,920
probably go for? Because yeah, it's weird, but they always have like the dude who is like,

117
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:38,720
childlike. That's a little trouble. I don't like him as a romantic interest. I just like him as a

118
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:46,400
weird little guy. Yeah. I don't know. I'm a maternal. Yeah. A lot of the stuff is like.

119
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:51,840
It doesn't have that. We're playing into some, I don't know if they're fetishes or what, but yeah.

120
00:12:54,880 --> 00:13:01,840
Yeah. I mean, that's like a famous opening. That's fine. One to five is hard. Yeah. I mean,

121
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:06,320
it's catchy. I guess I'll just give it a three as well. I'm going to give it a higher. I'm going to

122
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:10,000
give it a, I'll probably give that a four. It's like pretty good. You get the flower petals. It's

123
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:15,600
like over the top. Oh my God. I realized this one. I haven't added that we simply must watch.

124
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:22,480
And it's hysterical. Maybe watch The Wallflower because it's kind of like mocking the reverse

125
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:29,600
harem show. Okay. I definitely need to add that to the list. It's funny and it has a great opening.

126
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:36,800
Okay. So next we have Paradise Kiss, which might be more, was it Jose? Like older women?

127
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:42,880
Jose. Yeah. It's like for, yeah. Okay. I don't know if it still counts as sure. I mean, you know.

128
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:52,320
If they bone, is that too mature for God, this opening, I give it a five. It's so good.

129
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:56,880
Those are like real pictures and stuff. It's the same author of Nonna.

130
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:08,160
I've heard of that. That guy has a clothespin in his skin. Yeah. Yeah. I guess people just

131
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:14,320
pierce their own ears there or something sometimes. It's insanity. I don't think that's safe to just

132
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:19,360
shove a clothespin through the skin. No. I couldn't muster the courage. Flower heels.

133
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:30,560
Okay. What is the, this feels very 90, like totally to that. Yeah. That's like a touch phone.

134
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:37,760
Is it too loud? I just, just to make sure that. Did OBS crash? Have we lost everything?

135
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:44,000
No, no. Just, no. Just to make sure we can hear you over the,

136
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,720
well, I'm recording on my side. So you'll just overlay that. Okay. That's true. Yeah.

137
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:58,640
It's like a fashion romance series. Okay. Oh, he's doing the wall move. It's interesting because

138
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:05,200
like this guy here, he's bi. So it's not every day you find a bi male protagonist.

139
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,320
This feels like a, like this doesn't feel like an opening. This feels like a montage.

140
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:15,600
Psychedelic. And so they like hang out in the secret basement. Is that what's up?

141
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:22,480
It's kind of like a bar where they all met and they form like, they're in like a college fashion

142
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:28,320
club and she's just a rando that they run into and simply must be their model and blah, blah,

143
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:35,200
blah, blah. Oh, okay. Okay. That's fun. I guess. I mean, I'm, I give it five just because I think

144
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:41,200
it's catchy as hell and the art style. So pretty. Yeah. I'm going to give this, I'll also give

145
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:45,680
it, I mean, it gives you more to look at, you know, like lots of visuals in the opening. Yeah. It is

146
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:50,400
really nice. It does. I will say if I watch this with no other context, I would think this is like

147
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:58,080
a weird mystery show. Just all the like cityscape stuff. Well, it keeps flashing

148
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:02,000
to like people and then it's like, this person is here and you see them and they're being all hot.

149
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,440
And then you see them again and they're like leaning and somebody in an alleyway,

150
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,480
like going in for a kiss or something. And you're like, okay, something's going on here.

151
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:13,120
And like it's a little bit like the song is not like upbeat. It's like a little off. I don't

152
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:17,120
know. There's something that's a little off about it, which makes me think the name of it is lonely

153
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:21,360
and paradise is the name of the opening. Okay. This just sounds like a bad dating show.

154
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:26,720
No, I'm so good. I'll also give it a five. It's been the most interesting one so far.

155
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:32,720
Oh, yeah, that's true. Yeah, a lot of them are just like show the characters. Okay, the next one

156
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:38,320
is Tokyo Mew Mew, which I have heard of. I don't. It's the first manga I ever read. And

157
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:46,880
I had my dad burn me a copy of the show when I was like 12. That's nice. But it's one of the

158
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:51,840
rare moments where there's filler within a shojo. That's fine. Is the filler good?

159
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:59,360
Uh, anime because I don't know. I mean, I think the show's about 50 up. No, I mean,

160
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:04,880
it's been a hot second. The opening's catchy, but they've released a new, I don't know if it's like,

161
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:09,200
or basically they released like a new kind of how they redid Hunter Hunter. I think it's like

162
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:13,280
that. Okay. Is it a redo? Because I know because when I was looking at it, it's Tokyo Mew Mew

163
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,880
new. But is that like a second season or is that just they redid it again?

164
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:22,960
I'm not sure. I would think redo it because most people probably did not watch the original. I

165
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:29,120
don't know. Like the manga or middle school had had it. So I read it and it's good. I mean,

166
00:17:29,120 --> 00:17:35,280
because this is like the more traditional like group of girls, magical girls with transformation

167
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:43,280
scenes, blah, blah, blah. It is a reboot. Okay. That's life. So I don't know if he watched this

168
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:49,280
one or if he watched probably the new one. I don't know. Hopefully there's no filler in it.

169
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,800
Okay. They're all wearing like French made outfits. None of them are cats.

170
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:16,640
Just like these two are important enough to each have their own little moment so they get sucked

171
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:31,440
in together. She has a cat belt choker. Okay. There's a generic anime boy. Showtime.

172
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,920
Oh, now they become cat. Oh, look at that evil cat. Let's go.

173
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:44,320
Oh, it's like he's a bad guy.

174
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,000
These guys can drive. They're by a car.

175
00:18:53,840 --> 00:19:00,880
Okay. I can already feel this will be interesting to have you watch. Oh, God.

176
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,040
So is this like Sailor Moon-esque? Like what's...

177
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:10,080
Yeah. Well, it's cool because basically... Sorry. I don't look at that yet.

178
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:21,520
That's opening is crazy. So Tokyo Mew Mew. I like it because essentially there's these four random

179
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:27,600
girls and some kind of like incident happens where they're all kind of concentrated in one area

180
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:33,360
and each of them is kind of infused with the genes of an endangered animal species.

181
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:43,520
That the two guys by the car like had launched this operation to whatever fight these alien people.

182
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:50,240
So the main girl is like this super endangered cat and then one's like a porpoise and one's

183
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:57,120
some kind of monkey, but they're all like endangered. Wait, one's a porpoise?

184
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,440
Yeah. The one with the green hair and all their names are like food.

185
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,080
Her name is stupid. Her name is lettuce.

186
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:11,600
Okay. Hold on. Maybe the series owns. Maybe the series is good.

187
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:20,160
I enjoyed it. I mean, so it's Ichigo's the main girl, Ichigo's strawberry in Japanese.

188
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:24,400
Yeah. I have less sleep. Mint. Yep, lettuce.

189
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:32,480
Pudding and Sakura. Sakura, which I think is some Japanese rice thing or whatever.

190
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:33,360
What? Sakura?

191
00:20:33,360 --> 00:20:36,960
Uh, or it's like another... Maybe it's just...

192
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:38,560
Is this a Sakura? Like a cherry blossom?

193
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:42,960
No, that's Sakura. It's like Z. Z.

194
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:50,960
But like it's interesting because there's kind of three different dudes. It's not just a second male

195
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:51,840
lead. There's a third.

196
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:53,520
So we have more than just texting your ass?

197
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:58,960
Well, actually you don't know this style, but yeah. A lot of Ann at Early's a lot of Shodo will have

198
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:03,440
where you have your main dude, but then there's like the second lead that you're like, oh, do we

199
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,640
actually want her to be with him instead? Kind of like...

200
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:10,240
Yeah, we're doing like love triangle. That's a pretty typical, yeah.

201
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:11,360
That's fine.

202
00:21:11,360 --> 00:21:14,960
But this one's like a square. There's three dudes kind of into her.

203
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:21,120
Okay, so I'll rate that a four. Opening.

204
00:21:21,120 --> 00:21:25,440
That opening, like there's just a lot of them wearing like made outfits and spinning in a void.

205
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,880
So they all end up working at this cafe. That's why they have made outfits.

206
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:33,120
Okay. I don't like them just spinning in a void though. I'm gonna give it a two.

207
00:21:33,120 --> 00:21:36,640
I guess I wish they would have shown the animal attributes more.

208
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:41,040
Yeah. See, I think you should lean in on the like insane part of your show and not on like the

209
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:46,400
the normal thing of just like, what if you all worked in a cafe and it's like, okay,

210
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,680
people work in cafes. Not all of us are porpoise people.

211
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,840
What are you rating it? A two or three?

212
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,720
Oh, I gave it a two. I give it a two.

213
00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:03,120
Okay. This one's called Kadocha and this this opening is going to seem really weird.

214
00:22:03,120 --> 00:22:03,520
Okay.

215
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:07,680
And it's kind of the off the bat. The show, Prince

216
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:13,440
itself is kind of zany, you know, the main chick bonkers hyperactive,

217
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,920
but then it kind of gets super serious really quick.

218
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:22,160
And it has like pretty intense themes for a kid's show, but it's one of my favorites.

219
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:23,760
It's my sister's love hers.

220
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:24,080
Okay.

221
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:28,480
So if we do this, I think we would have her maybe come on as a guest.

222
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:28,800
Okay.

223
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,120
It's called Kadocha.

224
00:22:31,120 --> 00:22:31,360
Yep.

225
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,600
It's obviously a little disney quality is bad, but

226
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:36,880
Is it because there's a banjo?

227
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,080
Oh, terrible video quality.

228
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:43,040
It's like a CRT.

229
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:52,720
I guess we'll just be more hearing it then. Oh God, it's terrible audio or video quality.

230
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:57,680
It's okay. I can make it out.

231
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:00,480
Um, Texas.

232
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:02,640
Wow.

233
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:09,760
Okay.

234
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:11,040
Oh God.

235
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:12,080
Flailing around.

236
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:25,200
There are a lot of like these kids just like eight, five, six, six.

237
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:32,320
Okay.

238
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:39,760
This is so confusing.

239
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,080
Um, I didn't barely make out what's happening.

240
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:47,520
I think I was doing the Macarena.

241
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:48,320
What is this?

242
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:48,880
Dance.

243
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:52,320
Something like that.

244
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:54,080
Okay.

245
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,520
So, yeah, give me the pick on this.

246
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:58,000
Okay.

247
00:23:58,000 --> 00:23:58,400
Go ahead.

248
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,640
What's your initial rating?

249
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,880
This feels like I'm going to give it a two.

250
00:24:07,360 --> 00:24:10,080
It has the energy of like a, um,

251
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:18,960
like a very Japanese comedy variety show where only like 20% of the jokes are going to translate

252
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:20,480
into anything meaningful.

253
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:24,640
That's the vibe I get from it so far.

254
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:30,240
It's like very, this is going to like, I'm just, you know, if you've ever watched one of those,

255
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,280
there's always a part where like some random thing shows up and you're like,

256
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:34,880
I have no idea why this is here.

257
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:37,680
It's like a pun or something.

258
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:38,800
Oh God.

259
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:41,920
Um, that's what this feels like.

260
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:42,240
Yeah.

261
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:48,560
So this opening doesn't really demonstrate anything about what it's at.

262
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:53,760
It's a little cringe at the part where it's her and that ploy kind of just like open mouth

263
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:54,880
smiling at each other.

264
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:58,960
In the beginning, but that's what it's like when you like a boy.

265
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:00,480
I guess so.

266
00:25:01,120 --> 00:25:02,400
It's about, okay.

267
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:08,960
So the girl's name is Sana and she's a child actress on the show called Child's Play, which

268
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:14,480
is, yeah, kind of like a sitcom or I think it's like all that, but for Japanese kids kind of style

269
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:18,080
thing, uh, or the Amanda show, you know, that kind of vibe.

270
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:18,400
Yeah.

271
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:25,920
Uh, and she, she goes to like a normal public school and she starts having issues with this

272
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:27,760
one boy kind of bullying her.

273
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:28,960
His name's Akito.

274
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:34,640
And she's like, yeah, she's like hyperactive.

275
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:41,040
I mean, bravo to Laura Bailey and the English dub because I can't imagine talking that quickly,

276
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:42,240
but it's, it's funny.

277
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:48,800
Um, it gets serious and then there's lots of like, I don't know, you know, family drama and

278
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:52,240
so is this like, you know, dealing with fame and okay.

279
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,200
They're like, I think they're in sixth grade.

280
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:55,600
Yeah.

281
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:59,840
For season one, it's like you're describing child Bojack horseman to me.

282
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:07,200
I have not seen that, but I'm a horse guy.

283
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:07,600
Yeah.

284
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,880
I just know it's about like, it's like a washed of actor kind of thing, but like

285
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:12,400
dealing with him.

286
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:12,720
Okay.

287
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,600
That seems, that's not what I got from this opening at all.

288
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:17,440
I know I know.

289
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:18,560
So what's your rating?

290
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:19,920
I'm going to give that a two.

291
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:20,800
I'm going to match you.

292
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:21,120
Okay.

293
00:26:21,120 --> 00:26:26,240
So next one is full man, which was the first manga I ever purchased.

294
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:26,720
Okay.

295
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:30,720
Unfortunately, maybe you should look into who does the animation for this because

296
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:31,920
they did a terrible job.

297
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:38,000
Like the manga are beautiful and then the animation for all of her

298
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,640
enemies are bad, like they look bad.

299
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:41,760
They don't do justice.

300
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:44,160
Although this, yeah.

301
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:44,400
Okay.

302
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:50,720
All right.

303
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:51,520
She's dancing.

304
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:54,880
There's a rabbit in the cat.

305
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:58,880
She got big, she got big curls.

306
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:02,080
Two ringlets.

307
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:08,960
This guy's cat in his bag as they're coming out.

308
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:20,640
Oh, okay.

309
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:22,080
We're riding shooting stars now.

310
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:32,080
Everybody's here except on that star where nobody's on that one.

311
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:36,720
Okay.

312
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:40,000
And she's got some stylist boots on or shoes.

313
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:42,560
This does have very like,

314
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:50,320
I don't know, early 2000 scene transitions.

315
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,320
Yes.

316
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:52,880
That's fun.

317
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,600
That bunny has his feet are too long.

318
00:27:58,560 --> 00:27:59,280
Do you have wings?

319
00:28:01,120 --> 00:28:01,440
Yes.

320
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:02,800
Okay.

321
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:03,520
Okay.

322
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:04,320
Initial thoughts.

323
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:07,360
Yeah.

324
00:28:07,360 --> 00:28:08,240
I mean, it doesn't look.

325
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,720
You want to take a crack at the plot?

326
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:14,080
Okay.

327
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:15,200
So there's like a dancing.

328
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,680
There's like, there's a cat and a bunny.

329
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:21,920
So I mean, there has to like, there has to be something magical going on here, right?

330
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:23,680
Yeah.

331
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:24,240
Yeah.

332
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,160
Does it have to do with stars in the moon?

333
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:28,400
I mean, the name of it is full moon.

334
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:28,720
Right.

335
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:29,040
Okay.

336
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:29,760
I should have known that.

337
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:39,120
She is going to go around and cure people's depression that they have at night before they

338
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:39,680
go to sleep.

339
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,800
I should have started asking you for your guess of the plot with the first one.

340
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:43,680
Oh yeah, that would be good.

341
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:44,560
That would be good with each one.

342
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:46,240
Yeah.

343
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:47,040
Okay.

344
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:48,560
I think she makes people have good dreams.

345
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:49,840
Okay.

346
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:53,760
I'm giving it a one because I don't like the song.

347
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,200
The animation did not do the manga.

348
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:58,880
Art justice.

349
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:00,000
It's just kind of, yeah.

350
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:07,680
So it's about this girl who has, I don't remember if she's terminally ill, but she's ill her whole

351
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:07,920
life.

352
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:13,840
So she's been kind of just like lived that home resting all the time, but she wants to sing.

353
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:18,960
She wants to be a singer, but like has voice issues or throat, whatever the thing wrong

354
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:20,160
with her is in her throat.

355
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:25,040
And she ends up, I don't remember how exactly, but she runs into these two, which are Stingy

356
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:31,680
Gami, which is the same as bleach, they're soul reapers that I guess she was supposed to die,

357
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,240
but like had a soft spot for her, whatever.

358
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:40,400
So they end up giving her like the ability to transform into a 16 year old body.

359
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:45,280
So she can, so this is like her at 12 and then she can transform into 16.

360
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:46,160
So that was just one?

361
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:47,440
Yeah, yeah.

362
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:48,960
So, yeah.

363
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:53,760
So she ends up like getting into the music industry as that person.

364
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:58,880
And actually the, like the music that they put in the show is actually really good.

365
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:03,200
Like I haven't on Spotify that I listened to the songs that are like her character.

366
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:04,960
But yeah, that's kind of the setup.

367
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:05,200
Okay.

368
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,760
That's a little off from your.

369
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:13,680
Not against that, that's like, she got a freaking Yu-Yu Haka show, but then also becomes an idol,

370
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:14,080
I guess.

371
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:19,520
Instead of doing something useful with that power, they're like, yeah, I guess we'll age you up

372
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:21,040
and you could be a celebrity.

373
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:23,200
So I gave it a one.

374
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:24,000
What are you going to give it?

375
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:25,760
I'm giving it a two.

376
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:26,320
It was fine.

377
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:27,440
I liked the little transitions.

378
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:29,840
Okay.

379
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:34,240
This next one, Gack and Alice only had one season, but the manga is really good.

380
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:38,640
But Tokyo Pop was the publisher of the English manga.

381
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:43,520
And I guess they didn't close down because they still exist today, but they discontinued

382
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,640
a bunch of series and I maybe almost went out of business.

383
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,840
So, and they never brought back the rest of the series in English.

384
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,560
I had to finish the series online, which is annoying.

385
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:56,320
So forever have it in complete set.

386
00:30:56,320 --> 00:31:03,440
Interesting that all of them, like, I guess it's a fade in, but they all start dead silent.

387
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:03,760
And then.

388
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:10,320
Well, like maybe, I mean, you know, your series to start with like a really loud noise all of a

389
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:10,640
sudden.

390
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:11,680
I guess.

391
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:17,280
All right.

392
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,680
So these, they look like they're in like elementary school.

393
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:21,920
Like these are younger than the other ones, it seems like.

394
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:22,800
Yeah.

395
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,520
And that she's walking through mirrors.

396
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:28,640
What is what are they wearing?

397
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,400
What is this like school uniform thing they have?

398
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:39,040
Uh, I guess it's kind of like sailor style, but not the same.

399
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:41,680
But this looks like it's a separate piece.

400
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:43,360
Like it's just worn over a shirt.

401
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:44,960
Yeah.

402
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:47,760
It's like having an attached.

403
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:49,200
Something.

404
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:52,320
Yeah, I guess the accurate description.

405
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:56,720
She's like, what is happening?

406
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:58,000
She's like flying around.

407
00:31:58,640 --> 00:31:59,680
She's like getting teleported.

408
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:01,360
Now she's Alice in Wonderland.

409
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,800
There's like this girl on a little flying duck.

410
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:14,560
Now we're all cheerleaders, except for that one person who's on a tablet.

411
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:16,640
And one of them is like a monkey.

412
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:18,160
Uh, okay.

413
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:19,840
So the next, okay.

414
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:20,480
Plot.

415
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:20,960
Yeah.

416
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:22,960
Okay.

417
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,720
So the main girl who I guess his name is Alice.

418
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:27,600
Um, no.

419
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:28,400
All right.

420
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:34,800
So the main girl whose name is not Alice, um, is like a normal human being surrounded

421
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:36,400
by the biggest weirdos ever.

422
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:40,800
Uh, she gives like a foreign exchange with like a bunch of weirdos.

423
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:44,720
And, um, shenanigans ensue.

424
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:46,400
This just seems like a shenanigans show.

425
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:46,960
I don't know.

426
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,920
You're not too far off kind of.

427
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:50,720
Um, okay.

428
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,520
So basically her name's Mekan.

429
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:54,020
Okay.

430
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:58,160
Uh, which I think is orange or tangerine in Japanese.

431
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,240
We love naming people after fruit.

432
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:01,120
Keep going.

433
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:01,600
Yes.

434
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:05,280
Uh, so she's like just with country.

435
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:06,960
It's okay to say Hick.

436
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:08,160
I mean, I'm not sure.

437
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,960
It's just with country is okay to say Hick.

438
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:11,520
What is it?

439
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:13,600
I think you're going to get canceled for saying it.

440
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:16,560
No, I think it's fine.

441
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:17,600
You could, I think I mean.

442
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:18,800
Country bumpkin.

443
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:19,280
There you go.

444
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:26,000
Uh, and her friend, her friend ends up like her childhood friend ends up getting transferred

445
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,480
to this school, this big school in Tokyo.

446
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:29,040
Okay.

447
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,600
And she decides to follow her there.

448
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:32,400
Okay.

449
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,440
And so she goes, she's like, let me in, let me in.

450
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:43,280
Uh, it's a fancy elite school that turns out only people with these abilities that they call,

451
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,880
I think they call that an Alice ability.

452
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:48,560
The ability is called Alice.

453
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:50,160
Uh, I can't remember exactly.

454
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:51,360
Uh, but yeah.

455
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:54,720
So you have to have that to be able to get into this academy.

456
00:33:54,720 --> 00:34:00,960
And so she's just like a normal or seemingly normal girl, but one of the teachers lets her in and

457
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:03,360
turns out she does have an ability.

458
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:05,040
So when you say ability,

459
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:06,320
it gets kind of dark.

460
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:07,440
This one gets dark too.

461
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:10,560
Is it like a talent or is this like a superpower kind of thing?

462
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,840
It's like a superpower, but it's kind of like vague what they could be.

463
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:15,440
Like the girl with the short hair.

464
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:21,440
She, her Alice is like invention or something and she just makes these crazy contraptions.

465
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:27,680
And but some are like the ability to talk to animals or some is, uh, every time they make a doll,

466
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:32,960
the doll comes to life kind of just, it's like a really, but they're, and then it's cool to say

467
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:36,720
it's kind of shown an expert. There's like a lot of lore.

468
00:34:36,720 --> 00:34:43,920
Like there's different types of Alice's and they get put into groups based off that for like, uh,

469
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:52,640
training because there's like, uh, more offensive, uh, Alice's and more like creative and, uh,

470
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:55,680
and then lots of like, you know, behind the scenes stuff.

471
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:56,480
Okay.

472
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,360
This kind of sounds like, this kind of sounds like my hero academia.

473
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:03,520
If instead of like just following around the combat people, you fall around all the other people

474
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:05,520
who like all the other do all the other stuff.

475
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:10,160
It's, I guess it's more like, well, it's not like the world knows about it,

476
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:14,800
but there are like, you know, behind the scenes, like normal people don't really know that there's

477
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:17,520
these abilities. Uh, it's pretty good though.

478
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:18,320
Okay.

479
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:22,160
Although I'm going to get the opening of one. I don't like the opening.

480
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:25,360
Um, it doesn't tell you anything about it.

481
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,120
It doesn't. I'm also going to give everyone this from the worst one so far.

482
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:34,880
Yeah. Okay. So this one might be one of the first enemies that made me cry.

483
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:38,000
Uh, it's like a longer, more serious.

484
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:39,120
Wait, say the name of it.

485
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,840
Style one. Uh, Fushigi Yu-Gi.

486
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:42,480
Okay.

487
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:44,080
Uh, it's by a pretty fan.

488
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:48,880
Yu Watase is the manga artist and she's got a lot of series.

489
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:50,800
I think I've heard of this.

490
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:55,760
Yeah. She does like, she does all the Fushigi Yu-Gi, which there's a few different variants.

491
00:35:55,760 --> 00:36:00,240
Uh, there's like Sarah's Celestial, uh, legend.

492
00:36:00,240 --> 00:36:04,160
She's got a bunch of series that didn't get made into stuff.

493
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:07,440
She's more manga. This is like, there's only been a couple that have been made into anime,

494
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,600
but it's, it's, it's different from the rest.

495
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:11,680
It's got a different tone, I would say.

496
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:13,120
Very, the opening is very dramatic.

497
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:18,720
Uh, oh, okay. So this is like, this is like a historical thing.

498
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:22,480
Okay.

499
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:26,800
Okay. She's walking through a big palace

500
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:31,360
and she has on the most complicated robe I've seen.

501
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:37,040
Uh, yeah. Yeah. It's just like ancient China.

502
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:41,360
Okay. She's got retainers. She's got more retainers.

503
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:45,280
She has so many retainers.

504
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:50,800
Oh, wait, what? Why? Okay.

505
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:55,280
And there's a modern looking girl in the background.

506
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:09,440
Um, okay. Now they're just wearing normal uniforms like they're in the modern era.

507
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:14,560
Is this like, it's just like reverse into Yasha, like what's going on?

508
00:37:16,240 --> 00:37:19,760
It kind of similar vibes to that. Um, like initial thoughts.

509
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:24,480
It looks like it's reversing to Yasha where she's like a person from the past who gets brought to

510
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:30,640
the present and has to hang out in the present while all of her past people are like,

511
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:34,480
we came from the past to get you princess and she's like, yeah, I just go to school now.

512
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:47,120
Okay. Um, no, it's more like Yasha. She is a modern day Japanese student who happens upon this

513
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:54,640
book called, I don't know if it's a mysterious play. It's like based in ancient China.

514
00:37:54,640 --> 00:38:01,360
Okay. About the, what was it? Suzaku and Biako. What are the, I don't know, the constellations?

515
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:08,480
I have no idea what you're talking about. What they're called. It's like an astrological thing,

516
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:16,800
but basically she's the, I don't know, delegate. She's special and then she has these,

517
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:22,400
she has to find all these warriors. Okay. Like tied to her. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on.

518
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:26,560
She gets a play and does she get teleported into the play? Is that what you're talking about?

519
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:31,440
Yeah. Well, she is a book. She opens the book. Yeah. She gets teleported into the book. Okay.

520
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:36,640
Yeah. Which is like the never ending story. I don't know. I've only, I haven't spent a long

521
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:42,160
time to place all that. Okay. You know, you see a horse in the fog of like depression or whatever.

522
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:49,520
I don't want to watch it again. Okay. So she gets, she gets dragged into this book. Yes. So,

523
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:56,320
maybe it's like she's the priestess of whatever. And her friend also gets dragged into it and she's

524
00:38:56,320 --> 00:39:02,480
like a different one, a different priestess person who has her own little lackeys and...

525
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:07,200
Okay. When she gets dragged in, does she like inhabit somebody who's already existing life?

526
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:11,760
No. She gets, no. It's not like she's being re, she's not like reincarnated or something.

527
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:17,040
No, I know. But like she becomes somebody who already like has an existing place in society.

528
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:23,280
No. No. No. She shows up and it's like Kagome where she just shows up in the school uniform and

529
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:30,160
yeah. Okay. And she becomes an important person. Yeah. She has to like find all her, her dudes

530
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:36,320
to do a thing. Okay. It's not a while since I've seen it. But it's good.

531
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:45,040
God, although I will, her name's Miyaka and her voice actor is horrific. I don't know.

532
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:51,440
But yeah, they give her a very annoying whiny voice in the dub. Okay. Yeah. It's like,

533
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:55,760
probably got like 50 episodes or something. That's a longer one. It's pretty good. It's been

534
00:39:55,760 --> 00:40:02,560
a hot second since I watched it. Okay. I'll give the opening a three. I'm going to give that a

535
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:07,440
four. That's been a, that's a pretty good opening. Yeah. It's definitely, it's a departure from the

536
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:10,320
rest, right? It's got a very different tone. Yeah. It's got a different tone. There's a,

537
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:17,440
you see a lot of like cool warrior guys doing cool poses. She's like very graceful. She walks

538
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:24,400
through her palace and then there's just a random, she's just a slow. You're like, okay,

539
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:29,200
I guess the president is here also. So that's pretty fun. It's also nice. Yeah. It's like a

540
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:33,120
historical setting, which is the first we're seeing. Okay. I'll give it a four as well then.

541
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:38,720
Oh, okay. I'm flinting. Yeah. Okay. I would say it's a classic. I don't know if you've

542
00:40:38,720 --> 00:40:44,320
heard of a series called Yona the Dawn, but it feels like a ripoff of this. Okay.

543
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:52,080
Okay. I don't, I haven't fully read or watched it. So I don't know, but very similar setup.

544
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:58,000
Okay. So this is lovely complex. Have you seen this? No. I think you'll like this one a lot

545
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:04,240
because it's got strong comedy vibes. I do like strong comedy.

546
00:41:04,240 --> 00:41:11,920
Star is star themed. She has like an enormous sweater.

547
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:22,320
Okay. Flip phones, flip phones. Let's go.

548
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:29,760
Are they, they're in, are they related or are they in love? I can't tell.

549
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:36,080
It looks like they're related

550
00:41:38,240 --> 00:41:42,480
because they have the same hair color and they're doing comedy bits together and he's short

551
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:48,560
and she's tall. I see what's happening here. Okay. Yeah. So they're not related. But you're

552
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:55,600
right. They make the hair tones way too close. But yeah, that's the, that's like the gimmick.

553
00:41:55,600 --> 00:42:03,040
She's super tall. He's super short. Okay. Initial thoughts. Obviously it's a more school life set.

554
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:07,760
I mean, this seems like it's fun. Is it super long? Because I feel like this would

555
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:10,480
overstay its welcome if it's too long, but it's like, you know,

556
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:16,320
I think it might just be like 26 episodes or something. Okay. That's probably fun. I mean,

557
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:20,480
they're like high schoolers, right? So they get a little, yeah, they end up trying to,

558
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:24,560
they start off trying to help each other like pursue other people. Okay.

559
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:28,400
Slowly kind of come together. That's good. That's a good, that's a good premise.

560
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:34,960
Yeah, it's funny. It's good. I don't really like the opening much. It's very confusing.

561
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:37,440
They add a lot of random stuff in it. I'm going to give it a two.

562
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:43,120
I'll give it a three. It seems all right. I'm looking at the plot in Wikipedia.

563
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:48,800
How tall do you think she is? Well, don't read a spoiler. I'm just reading the first like two sentences.

564
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:53,440
How tall do you think she is? God, they do incendermy. They do incendermy.

565
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:58,800
I'm going to guess. So for a tall girl, well, okay. She's probably not that tall because

566
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:02,720
it's in Japan, right? So I'm going to say she's like five, seven or something.

567
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:08,160
She's 172 centimeters. It's a tracer five, eight, which is still not very tall.

568
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:16,240
Although this guy, short king. Yes. Before it was a thing. He's five, one. That sucks.

569
00:43:16,240 --> 00:43:21,920
Yeah, that does. Poor, poor chap. Very fine. I like she's not that tall. But it's like,

570
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:27,120
no, yeah. I mean, I know because that's like when we and my sister went to Japan, she's five, eight.

571
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:33,920
So she was like a tower amongst the crowd. Are they that short? No, not really. I mean,

572
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:40,400
they also all wear like chunky tennis shoes or like platform almost. There we go. Yeah,

573
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:45,600
that's funny, though. She's not actually that tall. Okay, next one. Okay. So this is by the same

574
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:50,080
person who does Tsushigi Yuki. So it's going to have a more serious tone again. It's called

575
00:43:50,080 --> 00:44:01,520
Sarah's Celestial Legend. A piano playing itself. It's a good like soon kind of the opening keys.

576
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:05,200
There was I don't know much about music. Yeah, it's not bad. We're getting like a wave.

577
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:12,720
It's like a wave graphic. Is that a what is that? Like this? These are just very dramatic. I don't

578
00:44:12,720 --> 00:44:25,200
know. It's all broken. Is this religious? No. What is happening? There's like a little drone

579
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:29,520
running across the ocean and there's just like a disheveled guy who looks like he watched.

580
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:37,680
But he's like an adult man. Stranger danger. She gives him a shell. He looks haggard.

581
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:42,880
Oh, now she's old. She's got a nice coat on though. I kind of like that coat.

582
00:44:44,240 --> 00:44:50,160
This guy's clothes. Oh, her hair. Her hair is going to her coat. It's flying away. And now she's

583
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:59,200
naked. Okay. And they're embracing. Oh, damn. This is a show. Joe. Who is this guy? This is not.

584
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:09,280
This is camping. That guy was an adult ass man. Is he like a fairy man? Well, he's gone.

585
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:19,920
Okay. She's got a lot of time. I mean, she has like Barbie doll anatomy, so it's fine. Oh,

586
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:30,720
she becomes a different person. She like transformed into a different person. Yeah. All right. Here's

587
00:45:30,720 --> 00:45:43,040
my guess. Okay. As a little girl, she got exposed to an otherworldly mystical being man. And during

588
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:50,080
that encounter, she also got possessed by the spirit of another being that's a woman that looks

589
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:56,080
vaguely like her that she transforms into and the spirit that inhabits her and this mystery man are

590
00:45:56,080 --> 00:46:02,160
in love. And she is a vessel for there. And she has to navigate that. That's pretty good. That's

591
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:09,200
a good guess. Honestly, this is one that I haven't watched or read that much of. Yeah. She's got like

592
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:15,040
if I remember correctly, it's like every whatever generation within her family becomes the host

593
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:21,840
for this spirit who's kind of like vengeful. Oh, and that's the purple hair chick. So she like

594
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:29,680
takes over her body and goes on rampages and yeah, she's got there's like a Jacqueline Hyde. Yeah.

595
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:35,520
Some other figure who's old like or you know, some spiritual whatever, but then there's also like a

596
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:41,840
I don't know, childhood friend role. Okay. So love triangle stuff. Okay. I can't give a very good.

597
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:46,000
I don't remember it very well. So it's like a Jacqueline Hyde. And then there's some hot dudes

598
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:51,520
who are going to be like, you don't have to be hired. Yeah. Yeah. Well, the you would toss

599
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:57,040
those known for it, but showing it, which I think is like beautiful men or something. Okay. Like a

600
00:46:57,040 --> 00:47:05,280
kind of trend and show. Okay. I'll get the opening at three. I mean, you're pretty well able to

601
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:11,600
guess the plot. So I guess it's just playing and you're narrating the clothes are coming off.

602
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:16,400
It's like we can't just let it play. Yeah. But that does happen.

603
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:22,320
A bit more nudity than we're seeing in these other ones. Yeah. I mean, not explicit, but

604
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:29,200
it's not like sexual nudity. It's just like here she is. Just like not wearing anything

605
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:34,480
like covering her boobs is like the wind blows through her hair or something. And it's just

606
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:37,120
like what why why is this happening?

607
00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:39,040
Now I'm all sweaty.

608
00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:45,280
You're all sweaty. Look at this naked anime lady. I'm all sweaty.

609
00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:49,920
Over there. I'm seeing why baby you why I've seen why you like, uh,

610
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:51,360
seeing why you like show just so much.

611
00:47:56,640 --> 00:48:03,040
Oh boy. Okay. Okay. What's the next one? It's called Mimote lollipop. Mimote.

612
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:06,240
It's like save me or protect. I think is what I mean.

613
00:48:06,240 --> 00:48:09,200
Protect me lollipop. Okay. Essentially. All right.

614
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:12,800
Get ready for this one.

615
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:15,760
We'll chibi. We'll chibi people.

616
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:23,440
Okay. This seems like the cheapest opening thus far. Okay.

617
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:30,400
Hold on. Where are these piranhas come from? She's like running against a montage of like

618
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:35,040
different characters and then like an assortment of weird characters show up behind her and chase her.

619
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:40,560
And now she's sad that she got chased by all these animals.

620
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:42,320
Her hair is out of control.

621
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:44,320
She has so much hair.

622
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:52,640
Oh, goth girl is sad that somebody died. Okay. Hold on. Why is that guy have a monocle?

623
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:59,680
And there's a genie woman like for my gender. Her hair is wild.

624
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:03,520
There's an owl that shoots fire from its mouth.

625
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:07,680
I can't even parse what's happening anymore.

626
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:14,240
Okay. They're riding on a balloon. They're all happy.

627
00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:19,920
And they get mobbed by a bunch of randos.

628
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:25,520
Who's who's this pink hair chick who keeps showing up in these?

629
00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:28,720
Oh, there's a little dinosaur mascot.

630
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:31,760
Yeah. I think it's like a dragon.

631
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:34,320
All right. Okay. Here's my guess. Okay. Let's hear it.

632
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:38,240
This little girl.

633
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:42,640
What I was going to say. Look how much nice is the quality of the ending scene looks and the

634
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:48,320
rest. So this little girl has two has two friends. One's a childhood friend boy.

635
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:51,360
I guess it's the blue haired one. And the other one is like the cool guy.

636
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:57,840
And they're part of, I don't know, a literature club. And when she reads the books, they come

637
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:04,960
in real life and they harass her and chase her around the screen. And it's about shenanigans.

638
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:11,200
Callie McColk and movie. The page master. I've never seen that.

639
00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:18,480
It's pretty good. No. Nope. Nope. No. That's not even close. No.

640
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:27,520
No. Okay. So normal. I think middle school girl named Nina.

641
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:35,440
It's been a while since I've only read it. And it's a newer ish one. I feel like it was in

642
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:42,400
publication 2011 ish. These folks, all these other folks are from like a different magical

643
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:49,520
dimension. And they're taking an exam to whoever like obtains this thing.

644
00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:55,840
It's granted. I don't know if it's like magic license or some kind of thing they all want.

645
00:50:55,840 --> 00:51:02,000
And it's inside of her. So they're all fighting over possession of her to win this thing. And

646
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:06,160
they end up like protecting her from the other contestants of this competition.

647
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:13,280
Wait, they're inside her? No, no, no. Like whatever the thing they need is with,

648
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:17,920
I don't know, kind of like inside her mind. Like, like how would you know Yasha, the she con

649
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:24,320
jewel was within Kagome and then got plucked out of her. Oh, she like possesses some kind of magical

650
00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:30,320
item. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's like buried in her heart chamber or something. Yeah.

651
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:37,200
Yeah. Something like that. And so this is more of a like love triangle situation here. Sure.

652
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:44,560
And all the characters are named after numbers. So we got zero is the blue and then each is the

653
00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:51,600
other guy's name. And there's like Forte and yeah, they all have number. Okay, I got to say,

654
00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:56,480
if you're in like a love triangle competition and your name is zero and the other guy's name is

655
00:51:56,480 --> 00:52:08,000
number one, I have some bad news for you. Yeah. We're good. I really liked the manga when I first

656
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:12,960
picked it up. I feel like it's not that high caliber of one, but I really enjoyed reading it.

657
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:20,160
Okay. I don't, the anime probably garbage though, but hey, we're going to watch all the good and

658
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:23,360
the ugly, the good, the bad. Are we watching all of these? Jojo.

659
00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:29,760
Like committee. I don't know. Well, they're on the list. We'll see. I guess how

660
00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:37,600
committed we are slash successful. Okay. Yeah. So that's bad. I'll get the opening

661
00:52:38,240 --> 00:52:43,440
a three. It's catchy. It is pretty catchy. I do like the number of insane things happening.

662
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:50,960
I guess I'll also give it a three. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. That's fine. All right. Is this our last one?

663
00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:57,760
No. This one's just fruits basket. It's the second opening. Okay. Is this the original

664
00:52:57,760 --> 00:53:04,000
or the remake? No, it's the remake. Okay. Remake fruits basket. I've seen like most of this show,

665
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:08,480
but they didn't finish it in the original run, which is what I watched. So no, they didn't.

666
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:13,120
They make everybody really thin and tall in this version. No.

667
00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:23,120
Yeah. I don't know why. During the remake, I cried a lot watching it. I don't know if I was just

668
00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:27,120
feeling emotional or whatever. I mean, it's kind of like everyone's got pretty good trauma.

669
00:53:28,560 --> 00:53:31,840
Yeah. It looks like absurd cartoony trauma at a certain point.

670
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:39,040
Like I remember meeting the like head of the household or whatever and like the house and

671
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:42,960
I'm like, well, this guy just seems like he sucks all the time. They should kill this guy.

672
00:53:44,320 --> 00:53:45,680
Yeah. The show does not agree.

673
00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:50,560
I named my right after Yuki from this show.

674
00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:55,040
That's good.

675
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:03,840
I mean, it's kind of silly just them walking. Yeah. This is the anime opening.

676
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:06,880
It just like shows all the characters in here. They are walking in a void.

677
00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:12,640
Yeah. Another vines and roses.

678
00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:18,080
Which zodiac are you? I'm near the rooster. Well, I guess we're the same. Probably.

679
00:54:18,080 --> 00:54:19,760
No, I'm the next year. I'm a dog.

680
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:24,960
Okay. You're a dog. Okay. Well, you already know what it's about.

681
00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:27,440
What do you rank the opening?

682
00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:29,200
That one's pretty bad.

683
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:36,320
Okay. I'll give it a three. Like the content, not great, but it's a good song.

684
00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:38,560
I. Yeah, I guess it's a good song.

685
00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:43,920
Also, everyone already knows the fruit basket. I mean, I guess I don't feel like they need to.

686
00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:49,200
I feel like your second, your second opening should be better than your first opening.

687
00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:53,040
Not impressed by that opening.

688
00:54:54,160 --> 00:54:58,080
Okay. Like walk cycles. Like walk cycles. Okay.

689
00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:02,400
Sailor Moon. We all sing along. What is this going to be about?

690
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:07,520
Yeah. Wait, there's like a, why is there like a Star Wars screen? Like scroll?

691
00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:10,080
Dragon Ball.

692
00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:14,800
Are we going to watch Sailor Moon? This is like a million episodes.

693
00:55:16,560 --> 00:55:18,560
I don't know. It's not. This is the original.

694
00:55:18,560 --> 00:55:22,880
Like a classic. Yeah. Was it always? Oh yeah, they did remake it didn't they?

695
00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:25,360
Yeah, they made Christmas. This song is good though.

696
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:30,160
Is it not good? There's like a studio responsible for making a bunch of catchy English.

697
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:37,120
I mean, Sailor Moon, the original job is great because her friend has a Boston accent for a reason.

698
00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:41,440
Sailor Venus.

699
00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:50,240
No, I was never really into Sailor Moon. I didn't watch it till I was in high school.

700
00:55:50,240 --> 00:55:54,480
I keep like, I'm always like, I should, I should watch all like, because I watched it sporadically.

701
00:55:54,480 --> 00:55:58,320
And like, I've seen a lot of the like, beginning part and I'm always like, I should get to the

702
00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:07,280
part where like the other one, like the teens show up. Yeah, like Pluto and Saturn and stuff.

703
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:11,360
Yeah, yeah. I never get that far because it's like, it's like 300 episodes.

704
00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:18,000
Yeah. And she's also, at least in the dub, she's very annoying.

705
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:24,480
Oh, that's great. I love Gremlins. I love it when the main character just sucks and has like no redeeming values.

706
00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:31,040
It's, I mean, she does, she does have a redeeming value. It's just like,

707
00:56:31,040 --> 00:56:34,800
she's just like a huge cower in like, lame and like a crybaby or something.

708
00:56:36,800 --> 00:56:43,040
Wait, hold on. Hold on. Okay. Um, yep. So I already noticed about which, which, which is your favorite?

709
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:46,720
Which is your favorite? Oh, I have no right. Uh,

710
00:56:46,720 --> 00:56:56,880
I'm trying to remember. Um, I feel like I probably like the shrine chick, the one that's kind of

711
00:56:56,880 --> 00:57:02,160
Mars. Yeah, Mars is great because she's, I do like one. She's kind of like, Judy suck.

712
00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:09,840
I vaguely remember like, I watched it just because it's a classic and everyone's seen it.

713
00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:15,600
Because I don't have that nostalgic love for it. Like a lot of people are age do.

714
00:57:15,600 --> 00:57:23,600
Oh, yeah. I like, um, I like Venus because her whole thing is just like, I'm the pretty girl,

715
00:57:23,600 --> 00:57:28,720
but she like doesn't contribute that much. I feel like, like just having me, she feels it. She's

716
00:57:28,720 --> 00:57:35,200
kind of just like, yeah, just there. See, because then, yeah, I mean, it'd be fun to watch the dub

717
00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:39,680
of that. And there's a lot of material too. But she's like, though, she's like,

718
00:57:39,680 --> 00:57:46,400
the same thing going on as Sailor Moon does because like she has, she has the cat.

719
00:57:47,120 --> 00:57:53,200
She was just doing it on. She's like Sailor Master, whatever. Um, like solo going.

720
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:58,000
Okay. This next one's my favorite manga ever. We need to rate the lesson.

721
00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:02,000
Okay. Five. This is the freaking Sailor Moon song.

722
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:09,040
I'll give it a four. Uh, yeah, it's catchy. All right. It's fun to sing.

723
00:58:09,040 --> 00:58:15,280
What's your, all right, go ahead. Okay. Uh, yeah, Skip Beat, my favorite manga. It's still,

724
00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:21,840
it's like really long. I think I, let's see. I'm on like volume 48. Maybe that's long for

725
00:58:21,840 --> 00:58:30,320
Sojo manga. Um, so this one's about show biz. Uh, it's funny. It's like hysterical.

726
00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:35,600
Uh, I don't think they did the best. Like, I don't know. Sojo anime never gets the best

727
00:58:35,600 --> 00:58:43,600
animation. I feel like it was like shitty. I do have that logo though. I passed on my car.

728
00:58:44,880 --> 00:58:52,560
Okay. I'm looking at the studio. Sepia tone. That means flashback.

729
00:58:52,560 --> 00:58:59,920
That guy was holding something and it turned into a bird. This is about magicians.

730
00:59:06,240 --> 00:59:14,720
Uh, okay. These are like adults. Yeah. That's a stretch. Hummer. That's a gold stretch. Hummer.

731
00:59:14,720 --> 00:59:22,000
Oh, okay. She's like beating a dude up with a hammer.

732
00:59:24,560 --> 00:59:25,440
Chasing this bird.

733
00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:34,960
She's in a jumpsuit with a bird on it. Dream. She's on a billboard that says dream

734
00:59:36,240 --> 00:59:42,640
stat star. Like that's the name of the dream song, I think. And there's just some guy.

735
00:59:42,640 --> 00:59:50,240
I have no idea how I'm supposed to guess the fly. Um, she works for a company and she's a

736
00:59:51,680 --> 01:00:00,720
model spokesperson for this company. And there's a bunch of guys that are interesting

737
01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:12,160
that she hangs out with. So she's 16. Okay. And she follows her childhood friend slash

738
01:00:12,160 --> 01:00:19,760
crush to Tokyo because he wants to be a musician. Okay. So she kind of like

739
01:00:20,560 --> 01:00:26,160
quits high school to kind of support him and maintain the place they're living at while he's

740
01:00:26,160 --> 01:00:30,960
trying to get in. And then eventually he does become big and then he's like, okay, bye. Like,

741
01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:36,240
kicks her to the curb. She's like pissed that he just used her as his maid while he was

742
01:00:36,240 --> 01:00:43,440
just making it big. Classic. She bows that she's going to get into the show business and become

743
01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:52,240
bigger than he is. And, you know, it does like a whole changes her look and she used to be sweet

744
01:00:52,240 --> 01:01:02,080
and I don't know, abiding, but becomes kind of like bitter and, uh, spiteful and it's really

745
01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:10,400
funny. So she's like getting back by being more successful. Yeah. Yeah. I'll get the opening

746
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:16,080
of two. Uh, yeah, I'll give you opening a two. Like it wasn't bad, but there was also nothing.

747
01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:24,640
I'm not going to remember it. I've already forgotten it. Yep. Okay. It's an excellent

748
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:31,760
one. I was telling you has a new season coming out after like a decade. Okay. Oh god. It's so

749
01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:38,480
just heartwarming and endearing. Okay. I've seen this art style before.

750
01:01:41,040 --> 01:01:44,880
Oh, wait. Kimi need like a rabid subtle or something.

751
01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:50,160
Or Kimi no, it's okay. Kimi need to do. Okay. Okay.

752
01:01:52,480 --> 01:01:54,240
A lot of like painting looking stuff.

753
01:01:54,240 --> 01:02:03,360
And she's walking on a bunch of different backgrounds. She's like a cool gradient flower

754
01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:06,720
looking dress on. Um,

755
01:02:10,720 --> 01:02:18,320
there's a guy and there's her. That's it. Yeah. It doesn't really give you very much.

756
01:02:18,320 --> 01:02:21,680
That's another one of these openings. It's just like, what if our main character was walking

757
01:02:21,680 --> 01:02:27,680
through some voids with some background? Yeah. You don't have much to work with. They're in

758
01:02:27,680 --> 01:02:35,280
school uniforms. No, no wild guesses. I mean, absolutely nothing. There's nothing to work with

759
01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:41,680
here. Uh, there's she goes to school and there's this guy she likes and, um, you know, every night

760
01:02:41,680 --> 01:02:48,240
she gets trapped in the ethereal zone, um, where she's forced to wander. I have not, I don't know.

761
01:02:48,240 --> 01:02:59,280
I have nothing. Okay. Um, so it's definitely like school life. Uh, her name's Savako, which I guess

762
01:02:59,280 --> 01:03:05,600
is the same name as the girl from the ring. And she has long hair like that character does. So

763
01:03:06,320 --> 01:03:10,720
no, her same, her name is something that sounds similar to the character in the ring. So everyone

764
01:03:10,720 --> 01:03:14,800
just calls her that as her name instead of her actual name because they think she's creepy,

765
01:03:14,800 --> 01:03:20,080
like the girl in that movie. So she's kind of like, you know, well-meaning, but has no friends

766
01:03:20,080 --> 01:03:25,440
and no one, everyone misunderstands her. Is she like weird or is it just because she looks like

767
01:03:25,440 --> 01:03:32,480
the ring girl? I mean, she's kind of like mumble or she's just kind of awkward, not like well,

768
01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:38,160
well-meaning. Um, but then she, yeah, starts talking to this one boy who's really nice and,

769
01:03:38,160 --> 01:03:48,000
you know, she ends up making friends and just kind of growing as a person and romance.

770
01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:53,440
Okay. I feel like this, this simple, but it's really good. I feel like we've had several shows

771
01:03:53,440 --> 01:03:58,720
come out recently that have that same premise. Yeah. I mean, technically this came out and

772
01:03:58,720 --> 01:04:02,400
like probably like, yeah. So like, is this the inspiration for those other ones? Is that what's

773
01:04:02,400 --> 01:04:06,400
going on? Maybe. Like this is the good one. Well, it's interesting because it had, I don't know,

774
01:04:06,400 --> 01:04:12,080
I haven't watched that many. Uh, yeah, I guess it's slice of life, school lifestyle. Um, it's

775
01:04:12,080 --> 01:04:18,000
really sweet. Like it warrants the heart fluff for the soul. It's like a show of people being nice to

776
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:26,480
each other. Yeah. Okay. That's good. Um, it's really good. Well, because it, um, I don't know if

777
01:04:26,480 --> 01:04:31,360
they'll do it anymore after the third season, but it's something that would be more current and

778
01:04:31,360 --> 01:04:36,240
relevant if we wanted to capitalize on that with the new season coming out. Yeah.

779
01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:46,960
I'm going to love. Yeah. So I'll get the opening a two. Like it's, I like the winzy and the song

780
01:04:46,960 --> 01:04:51,760
itself, but it gives you nothing plot wise. Yeah. I'm going to give it a three because like it,

781
01:04:51,760 --> 01:04:55,920
it's again, it's one they're just walking around, but it looks really nice. Like it seems like somebody

782
01:04:55,920 --> 01:05:02,800
really, I could see the vibe. It's a good looking art for this. Next one's another clamp one. The same

783
01:05:02,800 --> 01:05:08,400
as the first one we watched. Okay. Hard capture Sakura. Wait. Kabato. That's what it's called.

784
01:05:09,760 --> 01:05:11,040
Kabato. Kabato.

785
01:05:15,760 --> 01:05:21,680
Good font, good font choice. I'll have to really bend you. There's a bird on that.

786
01:05:21,680 --> 01:05:30,160
Okay. She's super cute. It's.

787
01:05:37,440 --> 01:05:40,560
There's some kind of rain. It's because it's sometimes you have a bad day.

788
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:45,280
It was, it was raining hard. I don't think it was just sprinkling a little bit.

789
01:05:45,280 --> 01:05:53,280
Yeah. Okay. And she's happy again because there's birds and she's running and she has a really nice

790
01:05:53,280 --> 01:06:01,680
like side bag that's in the shape of a bird. Yeah. And her little pal's got leaves on it. She's green.

791
01:06:04,400 --> 01:06:12,160
She's earth coated. Trying to find a thief to say. Sunflowers. Everything's looking up.

792
01:06:12,160 --> 01:06:19,600
She's at a kindergarten. She works at a kindergarten. Nope. Who's that? These are adults.

793
01:06:22,160 --> 01:06:26,400
Are those her parents? No. No.

794
01:06:29,840 --> 01:06:32,800
You guessed right at one point. Okay. So she works at a kindergarten.

795
01:06:33,760 --> 01:06:37,200
Yes. Sometimes she has bad days and then the

796
01:06:37,200 --> 01:06:41,600
rain goes away and there's a rainbow and she has good days.

797
01:06:45,680 --> 01:06:52,400
So I have the first two volumes of this manga and then I like went to college. So I was in

798
01:06:52,400 --> 01:06:57,840
collecting and now you can't get any of the series you were collecting because none of them are

799
01:06:57,840 --> 01:07:05,200
sold in stores. Now they're all stupid, expensive. So I've watched the anime and I've only watched a

800
01:07:05,200 --> 01:07:13,520
bit of the manga but it's very endearing, charming. Yeah. Kind of slice of life. There's some fantasy

801
01:07:13,520 --> 01:07:20,560
elements. I don't remember exactly what it is. That little dog plushie. I don't know if it's like a

802
01:07:20,560 --> 01:07:31,200
demon. There's some kind of spirit thing in it. I'll get the opening. A three. Yeah. That's cute.

803
01:07:31,200 --> 01:07:40,800
Three's fine. How many more do I have? Oh no. Oh no. Okay. You want to just do one more?

804
01:07:42,080 --> 01:07:48,320
Okay. Let me pick which one. All right. Listeners, you will have a playlist that we can post on

805
01:07:48,320 --> 01:07:53,440
somewhere, I don't know. Yeah. At some point. And you can go through this. You can look at the

806
01:07:53,440 --> 01:07:57,520
ones we already watched and then you can, we watched them all in order up until this point

807
01:07:57,520 --> 01:08:04,480
and we realized there's like 10 more. Okay. Well, let's watch Angelic Lake. Okay. It's another

808
01:08:04,480 --> 01:08:09,440
clamp one but I think you'll like because it's got, it's probably got the most action out of any

809
01:08:09,440 --> 01:08:21,760
of these shows. Okay. Because I love action. Outside of Fushigi Yugi. Okay. They go to

810
01:08:21,760 --> 01:08:28,560
tournament fight school. I do like the UI on that little stat cards that has like

811
01:08:32,080 --> 01:08:39,040
scoreboard. Scoreboard. I hate her hair. I just want to snip those things. You don't like them?

812
01:08:39,040 --> 01:08:50,640
They're like floppy ears. Okay. Hold on. Why is she this like mech girl now?

813
01:08:51,920 --> 01:08:55,280
Right. We're seeing a bunch of flashes of a bunch of random people. Oh, they're tiny.

814
01:08:55,280 --> 01:09:08,880
Hold on. The mechs are like little tiny people that like fit on your arm.

815
01:09:11,360 --> 01:09:16,080
Oh my God. She fight. Okay. So you fight with little mech guys that are like people that are

816
01:09:16,080 --> 01:09:33,360
tiny and you throw them and they like battle each other. But also they're sentient

817
01:09:36,480 --> 01:09:38,800
and they hang out with you like they're just your little pal

818
01:09:38,800 --> 01:09:48,960
now. And they go to science camp where they fight with you. Okay.

819
01:09:53,040 --> 01:09:59,920
Yeah. So they're balls called angels and then they fight in those arenas. Okay. Which they're

820
01:09:59,920 --> 01:10:07,280
called the layer. So angelic player. Okay. And yeah, it's just like a competition. They're not,

821
01:10:07,280 --> 01:10:13,360
they only, you can only control them when they're within the layer. Like it's the tech that on that

822
01:10:13,360 --> 01:10:17,680
little arena thing that makes them work with the headsets that you wear. They can't,

823
01:10:17,680 --> 01:10:22,160
they're not functional outside of it. So I think they just made it seem like that just for the sake

824
01:10:22,160 --> 01:10:26,720
of though. Okay. She was like hanging out with them in a field and like a little guy. Yeah. I mean,

825
01:10:26,720 --> 01:10:30,480
she's weird and like carries it around with her and talks to it like it's playing, but.

826
01:10:30,480 --> 01:10:36,560
I would also do that. That's fair. Yeah. Like a little robot that would hang out with me.

827
01:10:36,560 --> 01:10:39,680
I'd be hanging out with that robot all the time. Like having a puppet, you know.

828
01:10:42,560 --> 01:10:48,080
Yeah. Well, you can, cause you, she made the outfit herself and cut the hair. Cause you buy

829
01:10:48,080 --> 01:10:54,320
like a base like super just no attributes except for just the body. And then you like

830
01:10:54,320 --> 01:10:59,440
customize it from there. That's fun. It's like fun to imagine yourself within this.

831
01:10:59,440 --> 01:11:07,360
She made like a battle. Yeah. So yeah, I think that one will be

832
01:11:08,880 --> 01:11:14,080
fun to cover the opening itself. I'll give it a three. I don't like the song, but I think it does

833
01:11:14,080 --> 01:11:21,440
a pretty good job of showing kind of what it's about. What's your score for angelic layers?

834
01:11:21,440 --> 01:11:25,280
That's pretty good. I'll give that a four. That's fun. I like having a little guy.

835
01:11:25,280 --> 01:11:32,320
I wish I had a little guy that I could control with my brain. Okay. Well, that's that. Well,

836
01:11:32,320 --> 01:11:40,000
folks. Okay. Thanks for joining us this time. Next time you hear from us, we'll have more

837
01:11:40,000 --> 01:11:45,680
of a vision and a selected show that will be recapping for you to follow. Well, you probably

838
01:11:45,680 --> 01:11:50,320
aren't hearing this before we've actually recorded a real episode. Yeah. You're probably

839
01:11:50,320 --> 01:11:54,480
going to be doing. Okay. So you have. If for some reason we have given you access.

840
01:11:54,480 --> 01:12:01,520
It's fun behind the scenes. Because we gave you exclusive access.

841
01:12:03,120 --> 01:12:07,040
You better still be listening. Yeah. Well, I this is enjoyable for me.

842
01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:09,200
Do you have a good time? Yeah.

843
01:12:09,200 --> 01:12:14,560
Doing this? I don't know. Do you want to do you think we'll, I guess we should watch separately

844
01:12:14,560 --> 01:12:17,840
so that we don't hear each other's thoughts while watching. Yeah.

845
01:12:17,840 --> 01:12:22,240
Then come together and discuss it. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Cool. All right. So next time we will be

846
01:12:22,240 --> 01:12:28,800
watching a show. Or if you're listening to this after as like this is a bonus for you,

847
01:12:28,800 --> 01:12:32,800
we've already watched the show and you already know how we feel. Thanks, Patreon.

848
01:12:34,880 --> 01:12:40,000
Yeah. When we have enough of a fan base to get money to extract some money from them.

849
01:12:40,880 --> 01:12:44,240
All right. Bye, everybody. We'll think of a sign off later.

850
01:12:44,240 --> 01:13:00,160
For now, just keep on just just keep on watching stuff. That's good. We'll leave that in.
