1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:17,640
Welcome back to show Joe the ultimate intro to show Joe anime.

2
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,280
Look at me using that tagline for the first time.

3
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:21,280
Wait, is that our tagline?

4
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:22,280
The ultimate?

5
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:23,280
No, well, no.

6
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:24,520
Intro to, well, no.

7
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:26,840
Should I add ultimate to it?

8
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:27,840
Intro, I mean.

9
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:33,000
Show Joe intro to show Joe anime is what our cover art says.

10
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:34,200
Yeah, that's good.

11
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,000
If the ultimate feels like.

12
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:37,000
We're not ultimate yet.

13
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:38,000
We got it.

14
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:39,000
We're working towards it.

15
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:40,000
We're writing a check.

16
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:41,800
We may not be able to cash.

17
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:42,800
Okay.

18
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:43,800
Believe in us.

19
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:45,200
Oh, I believe in us.

20
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,240
Okay, that's good.

21
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:48,560
Just not the us right now.

22
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,160
You know, I think maybe in a while.

23
00:00:50,160 --> 00:00:51,160
The future us.

24
00:00:51,160 --> 00:00:52,960
We'll get the ultimate status eventually.

25
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:54,120
I don't think.

26
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,800
I don't think the second episode of an actual show, Joe.

27
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:57,800
Yeah, that's true.

28
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:02,360
Yeah, we're like the actual show Joe under our belts first.

29
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:03,360
Welcome.

30
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:07,240
I'm Sarah, your show Joe.

31
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:11,520
I wouldn't say expert, but like has watched a lot.

32
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:12,520
Yep.

33
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:19,040
Of show Joe and Joe veteran are novice or newbie beginner to show Joe.

34
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,480
I don't go here, but not anime in general.

35
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,480
He knows the stuff anime wise.

36
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,160
I know anime and it does bleed over.

37
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,080
Yeah, so that's the show.

38
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,520
This will be our second episode covering.

39
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:32,520
That's the show folks.

40
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:33,520
See you next time.

41
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:34,520
It's over.

42
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:35,520
Bye bye.

43
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:36,520
Okay.

44
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:37,520
Sorry.

45
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,120
So yes, I desperately need one.

46
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,720
I can't believe you just nap as like part of your.

47
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:49,720
It's not daily, but it is often multiple days a week.

48
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:50,720
I just can't follow stuff.

49
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:51,720
That is horrible.

50
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:52,720
It's like to live.

51
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:53,720
Well, okay.

52
00:01:53,720 --> 00:02:01,480
So I went to a vintage sale expo thing today.

53
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,760
Yeah, this morning with my grandma.

54
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:11,560
So walked around, got cute necklace and pair of earrings and what color are they?

55
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:16,480
Gold is like the metal and then it's like a cute little encased.

56
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:17,480
I don't know.

57
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,000
White stone and then I don't know.

58
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,760
I I know because one lady is trying to talk shop with me and I was like, dude, I don't

59
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:23,760
know.

60
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:24,760
I just it's gold looking.

61
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:26,960
I don't know the difference in jewelry.

62
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:35,760
But yeah, I'm just a cute pair of like these little diamond shaped white studs with like

63
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,560
a little intricate design.

64
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,240
Yeah, because I don't wear very much jewelry, just earrings and necklaces.

65
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:46,840
Basically, if I wear a ring, it feels like it's like my hand isn't my own hand anymore.

66
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:47,840
Like it feels weird.

67
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,000
So the ring is like taking over you.

68
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,000
Yeah.

69
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,520
It's like the green lantern.

70
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,440
Yeah, something like that.

71
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,680
It's like I'm being possessed by my amulet, but it's like a ring.

72
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:00,680
Yes.

73
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,440
It's I don't know.

74
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,360
I don't I don't really love it.

75
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,800
That's a pretty good way of thinking about jewelry, though.

76
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:11,120
Like if you're going to be a different person, I'm going to this is my this is my power ring.

77
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,400
I put this on and I am no longer Sarah.

78
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:14,880
I am now Sarah.

79
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:15,880
Sarah.

80
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:20,760
That's if I'm a superhero.

81
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:26,720
If Sarah and my power is like black canary by just sigh in that like.

82
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,200
I first sound or whatever.

83
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:30,600
Because I.

84
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,600
Hypersonic size.

85
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:33,600
Hypersonic size.

86
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:38,200
No, whatever the like screaming and everything shatters, whatever.

87
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,080
But it was you sighing.

88
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:44,120
Is it like I imagined sighing as like warm air.

89
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,640
Because black canary does like the little shriek thing.

90
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:48,640
Yeah.

91
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,600
It's just a sighing version of lower frequency, maybe.

92
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,720
Maybe it just makes other people tired.

93
00:03:54,720 --> 00:04:02,080
It like it's like nocice in Pokemon, but I just make people fall asleep with my size.

94
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,080
Oh, you're like jigglypuff.

95
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:05,080
Yeah.

96
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:10,080
And then me and my grandma, while my grandma went with me and then we went to the farmers

97
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,440
market and I got this pretty sick.

98
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:18,440
They had like normal produce farmers market and then right next to it was like kid run

99
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,040
like kid made and run shop.

100
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,000
So this one kid, I think his family has a 3D printer.

101
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:29,160
So it's like this cool, slinky, like it kind of moves dragon.

102
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:30,160
I'll take it.

103
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:31,560
I'll take a photo and send it to you.

104
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:32,560
It's pretty sweet.

105
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:33,560
Yeah.

106
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,240
Way better than the shitty friendship price.

107
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:36,960
It's this other kids were hawking.

108
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:37,960
Oh my God.

109
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:45,840
We're at the section of the show where we ruthlessly critiqued like children's products, like

110
00:04:45,840 --> 00:04:47,160
products made by children.

111
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,840
Well, did you at my elementary school?

112
00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:54,320
I think in fifth grade we had to do like where you paired up in teens and had to come up

113
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,160
with a product to sell and like.

114
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:58,160
Oh, I hated that.

115
00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,160
Okay.

116
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,720
It's essentially that, but I guess maybe they're doing it by choice.

117
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:02,720
Yeah.

118
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,520
It seems like they actually want to do this.

119
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:05,520
Yeah.

120
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:11,280
But and then I went and checked out my mom's new place that she moved into fancy ass house.

121
00:05:11,280 --> 00:05:12,280
Nice.

122
00:05:12,280 --> 00:05:13,280
Yeah.

123
00:05:13,280 --> 00:05:14,360
So there's a lot of like, oh, not a lot.

124
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,960
Like 30 whole minutes under the sun has exhausted me.

125
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:19,960
You're depleted.

126
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:20,960
You're like the opposite.

127
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:21,960
Yeah.

128
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:23,960
You're depleted by the solar energy.

129
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:24,960
Nope.

130
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,280
You're like a week.

131
00:05:27,280 --> 00:05:31,480
Like you're like half vampire or something where you're like, ah, the sun.

132
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:32,680
It's draining me.

133
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,240
That's something like that.

134
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:35,240
How about you?

135
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,200
What have you been up to?

136
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:38,200
Let's see.

137
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,400
Last night, one of my friends, boyfriend had a birthday.

138
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:48,600
So we like went to a like, I guess it's like a burlesque club, I guess, in like a, the

139
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,640
second story of a pizza place.

140
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:55,840
For some reason, a lot of places near me have hidden bars and clubs in pizza places.

141
00:05:55,840 --> 00:05:57,280
I don't know what's up with that.

142
00:05:57,280 --> 00:05:59,120
But we went to that last night.

143
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:00,120
So that was interesting.

144
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:01,120
Yeah.

145
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,280
Is it one of the friends I met?

146
00:06:03,280 --> 00:06:04,280
Yeah.

147
00:06:04,280 --> 00:06:05,280
Shout out.

148
00:06:05,280 --> 00:06:06,280
Yeah.

149
00:06:06,280 --> 00:06:07,280
This is Taylor.

150
00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:08,280
Oh, I mean, it went with both of them.

151
00:06:08,280 --> 00:06:09,280
Oh, okay.

152
00:06:09,280 --> 00:06:10,280
Nice.

153
00:06:10,280 --> 00:06:11,280
Yeah.

154
00:06:11,280 --> 00:06:12,280
I met that last night.

155
00:06:12,280 --> 00:06:13,280
That sounds cool.

156
00:06:13,280 --> 00:06:14,280
A burlesque show?

157
00:06:14,280 --> 00:06:15,280
Yeah.

158
00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:20,560
Like getting wild clothes flying everywhere burlesque or like clothes stating on it.

159
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:21,560
It was just performative.

160
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:25,560
They, they took them off, but not like all of, you know, in a space.

161
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:26,560
Gotcha.

162
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:27,560
Yeah.

163
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,120
They're definitely like a dude with like a base and another dude with a saxophone,

164
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:32,120
like walking around.

165
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:33,120
Ooh, that's cool.

166
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:34,120
That's cool.

167
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:35,120
Yeah.

168
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:36,120
They had a lot of performance.

169
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:37,600
They had like a zip line.

170
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,360
They could like go down.

171
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:40,360
Damn.

172
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:41,360
They could like hang off of.

173
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:42,600
It was interesting.

174
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,280
On top of a pizza parlor.

175
00:06:44,280 --> 00:06:45,280
Yep.

176
00:06:45,280 --> 00:06:46,280
How big was this place?

177
00:06:46,280 --> 00:06:47,760
Uh, it wasn't that big.

178
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:48,760
It was like a big room.

179
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:49,760
But you have to have a zip line.

180
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:50,760
Imagine a big room.

181
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:51,760
Oh yeah.

182
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:56,680
The zip line like didn't really, like it's more of a like gets you, moves you.

183
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:57,680
Yeah.

184
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:58,680
Make 15 feet over.

185
00:06:58,680 --> 00:06:59,680
Maybe.

186
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:00,680
Yeah.

187
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,440
I mean, like it's not, it's not like a long zip line.

188
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:06,920
It's just like a hook in from like a ladder and then you swing down kind of thing.

189
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:07,920
That's cool.

190
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,320
But I did watch, I did watch some, some anime.

191
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:14,280
Who is anyone with another damn mech?

192
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:15,600
No, I'm still okay.

193
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,600
I'm 40 episodes into victory Gundam.

194
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,840
I'm almost, I'm approaching the end of victory Gundam.

195
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,200
It's gotta be hard to keep track of them.

196
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,640
It's all this fat Gundam.

197
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,000
Like, I mean, I watched them in a row.

198
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,480
So it's not that hard because it's like, I mean, the names don't help, right?

199
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,480
So you have the original mobile suit Gundam.

200
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,840
So like if someone was trying to approach the series, they wouldn't know where to start

201
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:36,840
this.

202
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:37,840
So really based off the names.

203
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:43,280
Well, I'm watching them all in order and like for the most part, they're all like alternate

204
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:44,280
universes.

205
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,480
So like you don't like the thing that happened last doesn't carry in.

206
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:47,960
That's not true for the first four.

207
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:49,800
Like the stuff I'm watching is all in a row.

208
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,120
You don't really need to pay attention to it that much.

209
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,440
I mean, the first three you do because they're like direct sequels that like aired one after

210
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:56,440
the other.

211
00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:01,400
So, but most of the time in Gundam, you could just watch like one show and it's self contained.

212
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:02,880
You don't really need to know anything else.

213
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:07,800
Other than like the broad themes of like, sometimes there's a big space laser.

214
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:14,160
Sometimes, you know, the Gundam shoots things from the back of the look like wings.

215
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:15,240
That's the thing that happens.

216
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,760
You get new type flashes because everyone's psychic now.

217
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:22,520
So like there's, you know, that's those are like general things that keep happening, but

218
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,920
you don't need to like watch them to like understand the plot or anything.

219
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:27,960
So I'm almost I'm almost through that.

220
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:32,800
But the movie I did watch, I watched Millennium Actress, which is another film.

221
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:37,160
It's such a movie made perfect blue and Africa and Tokyo.

222
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,880
Paprika is the only one I was familiar with.

223
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,040
Oh, I feel like I saw ads.

224
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,200
I haven't watched it, but I feel like I saw a lot.

225
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,640
Maybe it was like early on Netflix or something.

226
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,840
I just remember seeing it a lot.

227
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:54,200
Yeah, there is some scenes in that that like inspired inception, basically.

228
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:55,200
Oh, OK.

229
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,440
So maybe that's why you heard about it because like people talk.

230
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,480
No, I wouldn't say I'm super into inception either.

231
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:01,480
I watched it.

232
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:08,960
As we've learned, I'm not interested in what's going to make me think a lot necessarily.

233
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:13,320
That's why we're doing this podcast, which is a lot about stuff.

234
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:17,520
No, it's about being like, oh, my God, there's so cute.

235
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:18,520
Mm hmm.

236
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:22,120
Or I'm bringing I'm bringing that and you're bringing the thinking about stuff.

237
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:23,120
Yeah.

238
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:24,120
You contemplate.

239
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,680
We play our we play our underselling it.

240
00:09:26,680 --> 00:09:29,280
I make conspiracy theories.

241
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,720
You're always expensive.

242
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:36,400
Is this happening in the economy of this show?

243
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:41,960
I mean, in this episode, someone buys a drink that's 120 yen, which is like a dollar.

244
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,560
And he bought like the economies and shambles now compared to that.

245
00:09:45,560 --> 00:09:48,080
I could never buy something from a vending machine for a dollar.

246
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:49,080
No, never.

247
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:50,080
Absolutely not.

248
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:51,080
It's coffee.

249
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:52,080
Yeah.

250
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,440
God, what the heck, man?

251
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:55,440
Never ever.

252
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:56,440
The past used to be so much better.

253
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:57,440
The prices for lower.

254
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,880
That's the only thing about the past that was better is prices for lower.

255
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:01,880
Is that it?

256
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,120
Everything else but the past kind of sucks.

257
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:05,120
Yeah.

258
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,080
I mean, that's turning out that styles were cute.

259
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:09,080
Oh, sure.

260
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:10,080
Yeah.

261
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,520
Our animals weren't endangered yet.

262
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:13,520
Things like that.

263
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:14,520
They definitely were.

264
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:15,520
What?

265
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,080
Well, I mean, some health that are now after you think it.

266
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:19,080
I don't know.

267
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:23,680
Like I saw quite animals were doing better than they are now.

268
00:10:23,680 --> 00:10:24,680
Uh huh.

269
00:10:24,680 --> 00:10:25,680
A couple hundred years.

270
00:10:25,680 --> 00:10:27,800
I don't know, it depends on the area.

271
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:28,800
Okay.

272
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:30,640
A couple hundred years definitely sucked worse today.

273
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,880
Well, yes, for people.

274
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:33,880
Yeah.

275
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:35,720
I kind of live here without air conditioning.

276
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:36,720
I would.

277
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,400
Dude, they didn't know that like washing your hands was a good idea.

278
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,040
Like, yeah, that's true.

279
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:42,040
Fast as a rope.

280
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:43,040
Anyway, I watched Millennium Actress.

281
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:49,040
It's a cool movie about a these guys interview this actress and she like goes through her

282
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:54,680
life and talks about like like the story arc of her life that she's kind of like narrated

283
00:10:54,680 --> 00:10:59,520
by herself or about herself, you know, where she is like, oh, yes, I was doing all this

284
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:00,520
stuff.

285
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:01,520
I was like chasing this guy.

286
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:05,680
I was like into clearly that's like metaphor for like her ambition.

287
00:11:05,680 --> 00:11:06,680
Oh, man.

288
00:11:06,680 --> 00:11:09,280
Living beyond her life and stuff like that.

289
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:10,280
But they frame it like that.

290
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:15,080
And like the whole time they keep that framing and like the like her life story passes through

291
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:16,360
like the movies she's in.

292
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,840
So there's like these really cool transitions where it's like you're in like something is

293
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:23,240
happening and then you realize that this is actually a scene from a movie because like

294
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,040
the guy in her film will be like, oh, I loved that scene or something.

295
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:30,520
And it's like very interesting and a little surreal to like keep track of like what part

296
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:36,000
is the movie and what part is like actually a narrative about her life.

297
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:37,000
Yeah.

298
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:38,000
And it's cool.

299
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,000
It's cool movie.

300
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:40,000
You should check it out.

301
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:41,000
Should I?

302
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:42,000
Do you think I'd like it?

303
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:43,000
Yeah.

304
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,000
I mean, it looks really good.

305
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:45,000
It looks great.

306
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:46,000
Okay.

307
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:47,000
I was like, if it's pretty, I can get you.

308
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:48,000
You like animation.

309
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:49,000
Yeah, it's really pretty.

310
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:50,000
It's like really fun.

311
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:57,640
I mean, I'm not sure like movies or like reminiscent of like famous Japanese movies.

312
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,880
So it's like kind of cool to see that stuff portrayed.

313
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:00,880
Okay.

314
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:02,520
They do like the fake fighting.

315
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:03,520
It's fun.

316
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:10,280
I'm like, you ever let's see, for example, in high school, I had to read a book called

317
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:17,280
I am the cheese and I walked in on exam day and then people were talking about it like,

318
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:23,240
you know, trying to share info and someone was talking about some aspect and I was like,

319
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:24,240
wait, what?

320
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:25,800
That's what this book is about.

321
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:26,800
Like I did.

322
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:27,800
I went over my head.

323
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:28,800
That would have been my head.

324
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:33,400
Because essentially it's like a story going on adventures, but I guess he was in like

325
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:34,400
an insane asylum.

326
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:35,400
And I was like, oh, damn.

327
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:36,400
Well, wait, that sounds like fly.

328
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:37,400
That doesn't sound like a cheating thing.

329
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:38,400
That's just like the plot of it.

330
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:39,400
Well, like he's, I don't know.

331
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:40,400
Maybe I just like, did you skim it?

332
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:41,400
Did you like skim it?

333
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:42,400
Because like, you know, I read, I read.

334
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:43,400
I read.

335
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:44,400
I read.

336
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:45,400
I read.

337
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,200
I'm doing air quotes.

338
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:53,200
I read books for school, which is like, I'm pretty sure I looked at all the words could

339
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:57,840
not be bothered to read old man the sea, even though it was like the tiniest book ever.

340
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:58,840
I was like, oh, my God.

341
00:12:58,840 --> 00:12:59,840
I think that book is fine.

342
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:00,840
It's news.

343
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:01,840
That one.

344
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,240
The one, the one book I didn't read is like, I didn't read all of Frankenstein, which is

345
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:06,240
weird.

346
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,320
It seems like I would like that, but it was really boring.

347
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:14,120
I picked it for like a thing for AP English because it was on a list and I knew my sister

348
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:15,480
already owned it.

349
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:16,480
So I was like, okay, cool.

350
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:17,480
I don't have to find you.

351
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:18,560
But as you'd already annotated it.

352
00:13:18,560 --> 00:13:20,080
So I didn't have to.

353
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:24,040
So it looked like I did the work of annotating the book for to the teacher, but I did it

354
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,680
is for my sister.

355
00:13:26,680 --> 00:13:28,480
So I did not read that either.

356
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,880
I did read Dracula and that book is great.

357
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:31,880
That book.

358
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:37,000
I remember you talking about it or him or maybe you had the books when we were in high

359
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:38,000
school.

360
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:39,000
I feel like I remember.

361
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:40,000
Yeah.

362
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,000
That's like I did my senior project thing of that.

363
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:42,000
It was like that book and I did check one hide.

364
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,880
It's all about like Victorian era.

365
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:48,640
People need to repress all of their feelings to fit in with society.

366
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:53,080
And what if that turned you into a cool monster and I'm like that owns.

367
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,080
That's what Anna Karina.

368
00:13:56,080 --> 00:14:00,520
Like I have read Anna Karina, which is also like, ah, yes, I have to adhere to my societal

369
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:01,520
standards.

370
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:02,520
You know what that book needed?

371
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:03,520
A monster.

372
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:04,520
Just throw a monster in.

373
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:05,520
Right.

374
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,520
And Fred, you just throw in a monster.

375
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:08,520
It'll make it better.

376
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:09,520
I don't remember that either.

377
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,960
I really liked the count of Monte Cristo.

378
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:19,440
And then in cold blood, which was semi kind of based off a real story.

379
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,560
I think part of it was kind of fudge, but yeah.

380
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:23,560
Reading.

381
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:24,560
Reading.

382
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,560
If only I had time.

383
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:31,000
Well, you're you're reading like three books simultaneously.

384
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,000
I am a two book love.

385
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,000
So you are reading books.

386
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:40,000
Yeah, the book of reading a woman book was is very we all hate it.

387
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:41,000
It's very funny.

388
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:45,520
There's no like everyone has to vote and then we can ditch this book.

389
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:46,520
We don't have to finish it.

390
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:50,800
Well, we're so close to finishing it like because we talk about it every week and we

391
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:52,240
only have three more weeks left.

392
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,760
And it's like, we only have like a hundred pages left.

393
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:56,160
We got to just get through this.

394
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,000
Yeah, it's pretty funny.

395
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,200
Sometimes it's fun to like be miserable with all of your friends collectively.

396
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:02,200
Yeah.

397
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:03,200
Yeah.

398
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:04,880
Yeah, that's funny.

399
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:08,120
It's a thing you can share with your friends and speaking of just going to get them.

400
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:09,620
You can share with your friends.

401
00:15:09,620 --> 00:15:11,000
That's actually not what these episodes are about.

402
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:12,500
I don't know why that was my transition.

403
00:15:12,500 --> 00:15:15,440
This is about if you're friends with somebody or not.

404
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:16,440
Themed.

405
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:17,800
Do you really have friends?

406
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:19,320
Are you really friends?

407
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,880
If Saloko simply started a book club, this would solve all their problems.

408
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,240
What is the ghost story?

409
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:26,240
Regaining Club.

410
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:27,240
The ghost story.

411
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:28,240
The ghost story reading club.

412
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,040
Well, you want to get into it.

413
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:32,040
Sure.

414
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,800
So we watched episodes four, five and six.

415
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:35,800
So keep me to know.

416
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:36,800
Okay.

417
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,200
So the two of us are basically resolving the thing with the rumor that happened at the

418
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:44,240
end of last episode and also confirming that everybody does want to be friends with each

419
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:45,240
other.

420
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,960
And, you know, it ends on a pretty high note at the end of it.

421
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:48,960
Yeah.

422
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:50,360
Although we don't figure out who blonde girl is.

423
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,720
So fluffy girl.

424
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:53,720
Fluffy girl.

425
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:55,440
Yeah, we don't get her.

426
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:59,640
She remains the shadowy villain in the background.

427
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,320
What if she's not?

428
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,760
What if she's just like a random character that has nothing to do with this?

429
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:05,760
No.

430
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:07,120
I don't think that's happening.

431
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,080
No, she's definitely evil.

432
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:10,080
Okay.

433
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:11,080
All right.

434
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:12,080
So episode four is called rumors.

435
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:17,240
So if you remember last time, actually we'll just go scene by scene, whatever.

436
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:21,600
So it goes at home and her parents ask her how things are at school and she says it's

437
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,400
fun and they're like, you always say that, but this time I believe it's real.

438
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,880
And then they're like, maybe she's in love and her dad breaks a cup.

439
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:29,880
Yes.

440
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,960
Her faces are more lazy face drawings.

441
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:38,360
Her mom has to like dot those for eyes and her dad just has glasses where you don't see

442
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:39,360
the eyes.

443
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:40,360
Yeah.

444
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:41,360
Like, Samaco's pretty.

445
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,960
I don't see the resemblance to either of her parents.

446
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:46,360
Maybe they're not her real parents.

447
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:50,840
Oh, maybe they're ghosts.

448
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,400
Maybe this is like a Beetlejuice situation.

449
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:54,400
I haven't seen that.

450
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,080
I should probably watch that movie.

451
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:58,080
Let's see.

452
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,680
Samaco's in the bath and thinks about how much better her life is now that she has friends.

453
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:05,920
So that one time, Kasehio was like, I'm going to monopolize you.

454
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:06,920
What could that mean?

455
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:07,920
I don't know.

456
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:08,920
She does.

457
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,400
She doesn't know.

458
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:12,400
She remembers it though.

459
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:13,400
We all know.

460
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,840
Something that washed over her, but she's like, what could he mean by this?

461
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:17,840
Yeah.

462
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:18,840
Who knows?

463
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:19,840
It's a mystery to everyone.

464
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:24,000
Well, she knows that it's something she's not understanding and she's not taking it.

465
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:29,280
For like a for a couple of episodes that are really about overthinking, she is really

466
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,200
under thinking this one.

467
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:32,320
That's true.

468
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,200
Back at school, she's a ruin IA.

469
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:39,920
I keep having to confront girls spreading rumors about them by like leaning into the

470
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,760
rumors where they're like, ah, she's already beat up like a hundred dudes.

471
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,840
And she's like, yeah, it was it was crazy.

472
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,720
Ever getting KOed to those losers like nothing or whatever.

473
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:50,720
Like they're leaning into it.

474
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:51,720
Yeah.

475
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,440
They talk about how annoying it is to keep having to deal with this, but they have no

476
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,640
doubt that Savaco did not spread it.

477
00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:58,640
Yeah.

478
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:04,120
And that's a fact to the last episode, like the ending of that scene, basically, where

479
00:18:04,120 --> 00:18:05,320
she's like, it's Savaco.

480
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,480
And they both like laugh at that because they're like, that's ridiculous.

481
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,280
And they did not believe it.

482
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:11,280
So good on them.

483
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,120
You know, a worse show would have had them believe it.

484
00:18:13,120 --> 00:18:16,360
Like these the whole conflict I think is handled pretty well.

485
00:18:16,360 --> 00:18:19,240
Then they have, let's see, blah, blah, blah, blah.

486
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,440
It's before class and Savaco says hi to them.

487
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:25,400
They decide to tease her by telling her the rumors about themselves.

488
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:29,440
And Savaco's like, doesn't understand what they're talking about, but plays along anyway.

489
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,720
Love that for you.

490
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:34,880
They decide that she's not guilty.

491
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:40,040
And then she gives a cheese notes and she just makes it sound like I'm saying cheese

492
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,040
or map.

493
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,160
She's who was map anyway.

494
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:50,400
Then she made she made cheese notes for the midterm and asks Ayane for a recommendation

495
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:54,680
because she's going to rent some horror movies to get better at telling scary stories because

496
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:56,240
this is her hobby now.

497
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,720
You know anything to say about this?

498
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:02,640
Oh, now I'm just thinking about you saying cheese.

499
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:03,640
Cheese.

500
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:04,640
Cheese is map.

501
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:05,640
That is definitely.

502
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:11,640
While she lends out the notes and everyone's like, hey, hey, let me in on that action.

503
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:13,640
Give me, let me copy the notes.

504
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:14,640
That's true.

505
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:15,640
Everybody wants that.

506
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:16,640
Because that makes sense for cheese.

507
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:22,120
But then Ayane, like I feel like she in particular isn't that into ghost stories, but that's

508
00:19:22,120 --> 00:19:27,400
what Sawako has decided to like associate her with as like what she can do for her as

509
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:28,400
a friend.

510
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:29,400
Yeah.

511
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,560
I mean, we get we get a reveal later on that she like Ayane joked about.

512
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:33,560
Yeah.

513
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:37,200
Sawako learning ghost stories because it's like, oh, you could just like lead into your

514
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:38,560
whole ghost girl thing.

515
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:39,560
That'd be funny.

516
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:40,560
But like, she didn't think she would take it seriously.

517
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:45,000
I actually don't know how into horror Ayane is.

518
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,360
Probably not that into it.

519
00:19:47,360 --> 00:19:48,600
But you know what?

520
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,600
Jokes are just flying right over Sawako's head.

521
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:52,600
Yeah.

522
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:53,600
Not landing.

523
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:57,160
Sawako is taking things pretty literally.

524
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:58,160
Let's see elsewhere.

525
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:02,200
Pin is holding Kazehaya hostage in his office to tell him about a time he got drunk and

526
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,960
imagined a bunch of like the borrowers running around his cup.

527
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:06,960
Oh, yeah.

528
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:08,560
Like little tiny guys.

529
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:09,840
Secret life of Ariadne.

530
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:10,840
Yeah.

531
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:14,840
Kazehaya tells him that he doesn't care about this and Pin asks him, did you think it's

532
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:16,960
because he stared at Sawako that one time?

533
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,240
And Kazehaya is like, that's stupid.

534
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:24,560
And also I also looked at Sawako and I just saw a positive and sweet girl and pins like,

535
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:25,560
why'd you say that?

536
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:27,160
Are you guys like dating or something?

537
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,440
And Kazehaya gets embarrassed and runs away.

538
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:30,440
So cute.

539
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:31,440
So sweet.

540
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:37,440
Why is Pin like talking to Kazehaya about this stuff?

541
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:38,440
Yeah.

542
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:39,440
Well, right.

543
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:40,440
Pin does.

544
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,800
I don't remember what it is, but yeah, like he's not that much older than they are.

545
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:47,760
So I don't remember, but maybe they knew each other before he was a teacher or something.

546
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:51,280
Okay, because like he doesn't seem like he, because he's the baseball coach, but Kazehaya,

547
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:52,600
I don't think is on the baseball team.

548
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,280
It seems like Ryu is on the baseball team.

549
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,680
Yeah, but maybe he used to be.

550
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:57,680
Maybe.

551
00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:58,680
Or something.

552
00:20:58,680 --> 00:20:59,680
Yeah, maybe they just used to be friends or something.

553
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:00,680
It's just weird.

554
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:01,680
Yeah.

555
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:02,680
Poor Kazehaya.

556
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:07,560
Kazehaya sit there and listen to his dumb teacher's story.

557
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,080
I literally don't care about this.

558
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:10,080
Hi, dude.

559
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:11,080
I'm in high school.

560
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,400
Don't tell me you're getting drunk every school night.

561
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:18,560
I think that scene pins by himself being like, isn't Sawako like being a weird ghost girl

562
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:19,920
like too specific of a thing?

563
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:20,920
Yeah.

564
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:21,920
Yeah, that was funny.

565
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:22,920
It's very funny.

566
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:23,920
Let's see.

567
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:28,520
Kazehaya joins the crew in class and Sawako notices that his hair is parted differently

568
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:33,000
and keeps like looking over at him and he's like, ooh, she's looking at me and he gets

569
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,720
embarrassed about that except she's just trying to check out his hair part.

570
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:41,200
We get a voiceover of Sawako telling us that she wonders if she's Unaeane, enjoy her presence

571
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:45,960
and she really hopes that they do and while she's having this voiceover, the scene is

572
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,000
them feeding each other food at lunch.

573
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,080
So I'm going to go on to live and say, yeah, they probably do.

574
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:52,080
Yeah.

575
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,560
Why are they feeding each other?

576
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,880
Because she's just like, oh, this is so wonderful.

577
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:04,240
And I made a note like, yeah, it really, because I didn't discover the joy of like groups of

578
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,440
friends until high school as well.

579
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:11,880
So I had like one-on-one friends and then I just happened to kind of bleed into the

580
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:13,880
whole posse you hung out with.

581
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:18,960
And I was like, wow, it's fun to hang out with like a bunch of people at once.

582
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:20,960
Yeah, that's squad.

583
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:21,960
It's cool.

584
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:22,960
I know.

585
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,440
I even stayed, I think I stayed out till three one night and my mom was like, why are you

586
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:27,440
doing it?

587
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,280
And I was like, but I'm socializing.

588
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:30,440
Be happy for me.

589
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:31,440
I'm being a teen.

590
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:32,440
Yeah.

591
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:36,400
That seems pretty funny because she's like Sawako's like, I hope they like it.

592
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,840
I like hanging out with me as they feed each other.

593
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:39,840
Yeah.

594
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,440
I think they do.

595
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:43,440
Let's see.

596
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,400
Later on, two girls who I recognize, but I don't have the names for because I'm not paying

597
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:47,400
that much attention.

598
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:48,400
Classmates.

599
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:49,400
Yeah.

600
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,280
Eventually I'll learn their names.

601
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:55,520
They come up to Cheezoo and Ayane and they're like, hey, we've heard these rumors about

602
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:56,520
you.

603
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:57,520
And they're like, yeah.

604
00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,520
And they're like, yeah, and they're escalating.

605
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,720
Cheezoo, now you've beat up some old man.

606
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,720
And Ayane, now you are like pimpin' out your other classmates.

607
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:05,720
Yeah.

608
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,520
And they're like, just like absurd escalations.

609
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,720
And then they're like, yeah, and we hear that it's like Sawako's spreading these, but

610
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:15,120
none of them actually believe that because they're like, yeah, but that's stupid though.

611
00:23:15,120 --> 00:23:18,160
And the two girls are like, yeah, it doesn't really make any sense.

612
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:19,720
So escalating rumors.

613
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:23,240
Sawako gets the feeling that everybody is more afraid of her than usual.

614
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:26,640
Her friend, like her childhood friend, Shino, runs into her in the hallway.

615
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:28,440
Yeah, I don't think she'd show up again.

616
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:29,440
Yeah.

617
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,720
And she's like, hey, I want to talk to you for a second.

618
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:35,560
You know, there's these rumors about you and Sawako is like thinking these are, she's

619
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:36,560
talking about the ghost rumors.

620
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:37,560
Yeah.

621
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:38,560
Oh, no, that's just like a misunderstanding.

622
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,560
Like, my life's pretty good recently.

623
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,360
And she was like, oh, cool.

624
00:23:42,360 --> 00:23:46,560
Like, yeah, you're like hanging out with Cheezoo and Ayane, right?

625
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,560
And Sawako's like, or it's like you guys are friends, right?

626
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,360
And Sawako's like, no, right?

627
00:23:51,360 --> 00:23:55,680
As Cheezoo and Ayane turn the corner and they totally hear her say that she doesn't, that

628
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:56,680
they're not friends.

629
00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:01,680
But before they can keep listening, Pinn shows up and he's like, I need you to run errands

630
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,480
for me and he drags them away so they can't eavesdrop.

631
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:05,480
Adult.

632
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:12,680
Uh, Sawako clarifies that friendship is like the thing that they have with each other,

633
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:14,840
but she's not close to them like that yet.

634
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:18,240
So like they kind of aren't friends, but she wants to be that.

635
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:24,240
So she's going to like try to be friends with them, which like, we don't get Cheezoo's reaction

636
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:25,240
to this really.

637
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,600
But I feel like she would just be like, okay, that's weird.

638
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:31,400
Like if someone said this to me, I'd be like, I don't know, man, it sounds like you're already

639
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:32,720
friends with them, but okay.

640
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,080
I mean, she's not saying it.

641
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,440
So she's, she doesn't know that.

642
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:38,440
Yeah.

643
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:42,880
But you know, Sawako, confusing, uh, like being besties with like normal friendship.

644
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:48,680
I mean, cause even Ayane and Cheezoo have only been friends since high school and I

645
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:49,880
think they're first year.

646
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:54,080
So at most just a few months, but yeah, well, they've had one semester already.

647
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:55,080
Yeah.

648
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:56,080
So they're friendly enough.

649
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:57,080
Yeah.

650
00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:03,080
So I think Sawako could only dream of in her imagination hobby.

651
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:09,600
The drama of them turning a corner right at Sawako is like, no, you're not my friends.

652
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:10,600
Yes.

653
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:17,560
This is incredibly like typical showjo, misunderstanding vehicle.

654
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,760
Like this is how it goes where you hear something.

655
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,920
But then normally it's like, oh, that I've heard enough.

656
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:29,440
I'm going to walk away, but they were like, wait, let's hear what she has to say cause

657
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:33,360
they believe in her, but then pin drags her away or drives him away.

658
00:25:33,360 --> 00:25:37,160
Oh, we're going to get a, I've heard enough and walk away in a second.

659
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:38,160
Yes.

660
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,960
That happens quite a bit.

661
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,280
So Cheezoo and Ayane are frustrated that they couldn't hear the rest of the conversation

662
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:50,480
and they're like, we should just ask Sawako directly if we're friends or not.

663
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,240
They're like, yeah, that's the plan.

664
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:58,680
Cheezoo very seriously says that, um, or like Sawako comes in and they're like, I'll sit

665
00:25:58,680 --> 00:25:59,680
down Sawako.

666
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,320
We have something to talk to you about and she's like, dang, they're being real serious.

667
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:09,160
And she's, uh, she's very seriously says that they like her and asks her if she likes them.

668
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:15,200
And Sawako's like, uh, well, like is kind of a strong word.

669
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:20,440
It's more like I have a feeling that's like, but before she can finish, Cheezoo and Ayane

670
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,560
have already admitted defeat and they're like, no, it's cool.

671
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:24,560
You don't have to keep going.

672
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:25,560
Sorry to bother you.

673
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:26,560
But it's not cool.

674
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:27,560
So sad.

675
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:28,560
So sad.

676
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:29,560
Goofy.

677
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:30,560
This is pretty funny.

678
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:41,160
This is, this is, this is, this is, this is only the beginning of Shojo, but it's such

679
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:47,640
this is like not, not real barriers are, you know, like normal people would just talk through

680
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:53,880
the thing and this wouldn't be a problem, but in Shojo, we all like only half finished

681
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:54,880
our sentences.

682
00:26:54,880 --> 00:27:00,080
Don't listen to each other so that there's dramatic misunderstandings.

683
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:05,160
It's kind of like the perfect storm of things where like both, uh, Cheezoo and Ayane are

684
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,480
like expecting to get rejected.

685
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,680
So they just like let it happen immediately as soon as they don't hear what they want

686
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:11,680
to hear.

687
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,840
And also the fact that like Sawako is not going to assert that she like finished her

688
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:15,840
thought.

689
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:16,840
Yeah, that's true.

690
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,440
And right, it was like, hold on, let me finish.

691
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:23,760
She doesn't have that capacity to do that.

692
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:27,760
So we end up in weird limbo.

693
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:29,520
So that's too bad for them.

694
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,520
Uh, Sawako is like, what the heck just happened?

695
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:37,440
She goes to the bathroom and overhears some girls gossiping about her using Cheezoo and

696
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:42,760
Ayane as backup and like Kazehaya as her man servant or something.

697
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:47,040
She comes to the conclusion that they were being weird because being around Sawako is

698
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:48,720
wrecking their reputation.

699
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:54,240
She spirals, uh, and decides that being around her friends is going to ruin their lives.

700
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:58,480
So maybe she should like start avoiding them until she can figure out what she should do.

701
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:04,320
Yeah, it's really sad because right now she's just become used to people talking about her

702
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:05,320
this way.

703
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,680
But, you know, and she became accustomed to it.

704
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:12,840
At some point, her, her feelings, so she knows that she doesn't want these people she likes

705
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,560
so much to go through the same thing and be ostracized.

706
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:21,680
So she's just, you know, like, as you like to say in the first episode, opportunity to

707
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:26,040
be a murder and just like, you know, fall on the sword for everyone else in her mind and

708
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:30,960
just disassociate with them so they can continue being happy and she'll just go back to being

709
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:32,760
on her own for their sake.

710
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:36,160
Yeah, like this, this episode and like, you know, this is kind of what this whole thing

711
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:37,160
is about.

712
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,560
And what I've been listening with Kazehaya about this is like, she's not, she's very

713
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:44,760
considerate of other people, but she's not forget it like actually empathizing with them.

714
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:45,760
Right.

715
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,920
Because like in her value system, like she projects onto them, right.

716
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:53,280
Because like to her reputation is super important because her reputation is bad and it's like

717
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:55,120
destroyed her whole social life.

718
00:28:55,120 --> 00:29:00,200
But like to them, like Ayane and Pichizu don't really care about their reputation that much

719
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,200
because like whatever.

720
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:07,440
But she like cannot imagine that they would not care about that very much.

721
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,440
And so she ends up like proactively trying to do things to help.

722
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:14,680
I mean, she did this in the first episode with like the protecting Kazehaya's reputation

723
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:15,680
too.

724
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:16,680
Yeah.

725
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:18,840
Or he's like, I don't care about this.

726
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:20,600
Gotta empathize people.

727
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:22,840
You gotta think about other people's values.

728
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:26,520
And her mind, she's like, oh, they would never say that to me because they're so nice.

729
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:30,080
So I got to do it in their stead, cutting myself off.

730
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:31,080
Right.

731
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:32,640
And putting people on a pedestal.

732
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:34,240
Yeah, that's true.

733
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:35,240
Yeah.

734
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:36,240
Very much so.

735
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,600
I mean, these are like her first friends ever, I guess.

736
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,080
So you know, this is the thing you have to learn how to do.

737
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:44,240
And you know, that's the whole episode is her kind of learning how to do this.

738
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:45,240
I don't really know.

739
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,200
Like at the end, she's like 100%.

740
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,560
Like I have learned empathy now, but it's better.

741
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,560
The next several episodes.

742
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:54,520
Essentially the three we're covering today.

743
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:59,320
No, these three that we're covering today are all very a whole little mini art, I guess

744
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:00,320
within the story.

745
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:03,680
You know, like problem starts and all that.

746
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:05,160
Within three episodes.

747
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:06,800
But look at to that.

748
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:07,800
Let's see.

749
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:08,800
Okay.

750
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:10,400
So the next morning, Ayana and Chizu run into each other.

751
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:11,800
They both been crying and laughing.

752
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:12,800
Yeah.

753
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:15,120
And they laugh at each other for like having red puffy eyes or having.

754
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:17,240
Yeah, they're so real.

755
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,840
The puffy eyes are insane.

756
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:21,160
Like your whole face hurts.

757
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,160
It's hard to hide it.

758
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:24,160
Oh, man.

759
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:25,160
I don't know.

760
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,160
I never cry because I'm too.

761
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:28,160
Yeah.

762
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:29,160
Okay.

763
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,200
I can relate.

764
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:36,240
The way you say that is like, oh, I was, I watched a really sad movie last night or something

765
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:37,240
if anyone asks.

766
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:38,240
That's what you say.

767
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:39,240
Uh-huh.

768
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:40,240
Oh, God.

769
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:41,240
Yep.

770
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:44,640
And they walk together and they're like, you know, really like, you don't think Saloko

771
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:46,440
could be spreading rumors, right?

772
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:47,440
Come on.

773
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,080
But also like yesterday, she said that she didn't like us.

774
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:53,280
So like, no, maybe, maybe there's something there.

775
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:54,280
I don't think so.

776
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:55,360
I mean, I don't think so.

777
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,520
But like somebody could think that.

778
00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:58,520
Yeah.

779
00:30:58,520 --> 00:30:59,520
Yes.

780
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:03,600
Uh, they come to the school entrance and Saloko is there.

781
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:06,680
She apologized to them for making them unhappy.

782
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:07,680
And they're like, what?

783
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:12,680
But before she can follow up, Saloko sees some people approaching and she runs away because

784
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:16,400
she cannot be seen around them anymore to protect their reputation.

785
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,960
So he's going to run away anytime another person is there.

786
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:20,760
They're like, why was she apologizing?

787
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:25,120
And then they get all sad because they thought that she liked them.

788
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:28,760
Saloko decides that she needs to fix everyone's misunderstandings, so she tries to find the

789
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:32,560
girls spreading the rumors, but like she's just kind of like aimlessly wandering around

790
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,920
creeping everybody out.

791
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:36,360
It like doesn't work.

792
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,280
So that does not get resolved.

793
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:43,280
After class, Kazai Haya runs after Saloko and he's like, hey, you looked like you were

794
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:46,880
crying earlier in class and also you've been like avoiding me all day.

795
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:48,800
Are you like mad at me or something?

796
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:53,760
And she tells him that she will never, ever hate him ever and then runs away when another

797
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:55,400
student appears.

798
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,400
It's like, okay.

799
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:01,080
Her voice over tells us that if she stays around her friends, it will cause trouble for

800
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:04,320
them and she doesn't know what to do in the meantime.

801
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:05,520
So she's like, I gotta avoid my friends.

802
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:07,480
It's about fix this, but I don't know how to fix this.

803
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,160
So I guess I'm just going to avoid my friends.

804
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:10,960
And then the episode ends.

805
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:11,960
Yeah.

806
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:17,320
I do like, I mean, this is the first actual show Joe were covering here, but something

807
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:20,360
different about this one than a lot of others.

808
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:26,000
Or maybe this is just like a lot of when show Joe was popular was before we were more, there's

809
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:30,160
more going on as far as what's being portrayed in anime.

810
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:36,600
You know, it was a lot more straightforward and simple back in show Joe's prime, but that

811
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:42,840
this show like it's nice because it is a romance, but there's a lot of emphasis in plot and

812
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:47,240
character development of friendship as well, which especially makes sense for someone who's

813
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,800
socially awkward that she would first need to learn how to do that before anything else

814
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:51,800
could happen.

815
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:56,440
But it's nice, you know, like there's, we don't see this much like interest inside

816
00:32:56,440 --> 00:33:02,320
characters and their feelings and, you know, female friendship and show Joe as much, I

817
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:06,160
don't think or at least they don't get this much screen time dedicated to them.

818
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:07,160
So it's just nice.

819
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:08,160
Yeah.

820
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,640
I mean, I think it's a pretty smart move to like go from the first three episodes, which

821
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:14,760
are kind of like, I like this boy kind of to pivoting to like, okay, this is about like

822
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:15,760
having friends.

823
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:17,480
What is it like to have friends?

824
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:19,640
What is it like the process of making friends?

825
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:21,400
Like what does that kind of mean?

826
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:22,920
How does that kind of work?

827
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:27,960
Especially if you don't like have things in common necessarily because like if they had

828
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:31,640
some activity they were doing, I don't think this would be as much of an issue because

829
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:32,720
you can like do the thing.

830
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:37,400
But because they are like friends and just kind of a general sense, it's not clear.

831
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:41,720
Like it can still be kind of unclear if you like somebody or not because, you know, like

832
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:42,720
they're not hanging out.

833
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:46,600
Is it just because it's proximity that you're talking about because you actually want to

834
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:47,600
be together?

835
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:51,560
Like this is a real thing of like, this is a person that I want to be friends with,

836
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:55,440
but I don't know if I like am because this is like someone I talked to in class, like

837
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:56,960
I don't hang out with them outside of school, right?

838
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:58,680
They don't hang out with each other outside of school.

839
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:02,160
So this does feel like a real ambiguous kind of position here.

840
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:06,800
I mean, it's less ambiguous when they're all feeding each other lunch, but when they're

841
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:07,800
all hanging out in class.

842
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:08,800
Have you not seen that scene?

843
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:09,800
Yeah.

844
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,200
That's a little bit like, so okay.

845
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:15,200
This is, I mean, you wouldn't know this, but this is not normal.

846
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:16,200
Yeah.

847
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:21,920
And like everybody in these episodes are like acting pretty like reasonable.

848
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:26,080
Like nobody is being like cartoonishly like misunderstanding a thing, right?

849
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:30,200
Like they kind of went out of their way to be like, these are reactions that people can

850
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:34,800
have if they are like overthinking things or like this is like a situation that could

851
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:39,360
arise in real life to a certain extent, which I do appreciate.

852
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:42,720
Like it isn't just some like over the top melodrama stuff.

853
00:34:42,720 --> 00:34:44,800
This actually feels like actual drama.

854
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:45,800
Yep.

855
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:46,800
Yeah.

856
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:47,800
That's pretty good.

857
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:48,800
Good stuff.

858
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,800
Episode five is called resolution, which is funny because this is not the episode where

859
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:52,800
things resolve.

860
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:53,800
No, not really.

861
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:54,800
This isn't the resolution episode.

862
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:55,800
Internal, internal resolution.

863
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:56,800
Yeah.

864
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:57,800
Yeah.

865
00:34:57,800 --> 00:34:58,800
It is the internal resolution.

866
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:02,040
Sawako is spacing out while eating dinner.

867
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:06,000
She tells her parents that midterms are tomorrow and that's why she was spacing out, but really

868
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,000
she was worried about her friends.

869
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:13,200
We learned that everybody has to sit in alphabetical order for the midterms and Ayane is in Sawako's

870
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:18,640
desk that she normally sits in and Sawako has to sit like in the front somewhere.

871
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:25,360
She gets sad about how much effort Ayane and Chizu put into their relationship with her

872
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:30,000
and how she can't return those feelings now because she is like a curse.

873
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:33,640
So she sits down at her desk without saying good morning to them.

874
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:37,720
The midterm start and instead of taking her test, Sawako keeps thinking about her friends

875
00:35:37,720 --> 00:35:42,080
and how nice they are and how their friendship might be ruined now and the whole time the

876
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:45,040
only thing I could think of is, girl, take your test.

877
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:46,360
For real.

878
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:47,360
Take your test.

879
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:49,080
She starts crying on her test.

880
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:50,600
You're getting the payback.

881
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:52,640
I can't grade that.

882
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:56,000
I've definitely cried on math test before.

883
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,880
Girl, this is the midterms.

884
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:01,480
You got to take your test.

885
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:02,880
I was like losing my mind.

886
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:09,760
I don't understand what's like to be wrecked with tears during school.

887
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:13,840
The teacher is like, no, I can see you.

888
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:17,840
The test starts and like Sawako is like just starting to write her name and she gets a

889
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:21,080
little flashback of like, I met Kazehaya and everything was great.

890
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,880
And then she like writes the next character in her name and then she's like, and then

891
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:27,000
I was friends with Ayane Chizu and things were great.

892
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,960
And she writes another one and they're like, they were so nice to me and then she writes

893
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:33,040
another character and I'm like, this is so much time.

894
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:36,640
You're not going to have enough time to answer the questions.

895
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:37,640
Yeah.

896
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:40,800
And then she cries and I'm like, dude.

897
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:41,800
Oh, God.

898
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:42,800
I can't show my eyes.

899
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:46,440
Listen, you got to get your head in the game.

900
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:50,880
No, some of us don't want our heads to be in the game for school.

901
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:51,880
Yeah.

902
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,880
Well, being good at school is one of the things Sawako's got going on for her.

903
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:55,880
That's true.

904
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:59,000
It is like her soul ambition.

905
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:00,000
Her soul hobby.

906
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:01,000
Up to this point.

907
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:02,000
Yeah.

908
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:03,000
Okay.

909
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:07,000
So after class, Sawako is sadly walking home, but there's Kazehaya waiting for her and

910
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:11,120
she's like, oh man, he's doing this again where he's waiting for me.

911
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:16,480
And he's like, hey, that thing you said to me last time didn't make any sense about like,

912
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:18,960
you never ever hating me and then leaving.

913
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,080
So like what's actually going on?

914
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:24,720
And Sawako is like, I have to tell him not to talk to me anymore.

915
00:37:24,720 --> 00:37:28,680
She's like, you need to not talk to me anymore, but she can't do it.

916
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:30,240
Like she can't get the whole phrase out.

917
00:37:30,240 --> 00:37:31,240
It seems very funny.

918
00:37:31,240 --> 00:37:32,240
Actually.

919
00:37:32,240 --> 00:37:33,240
She starts like wailing instead.

920
00:37:33,240 --> 00:37:34,240
Yeah.

921
00:37:34,240 --> 00:37:36,280
And Kazehaya is like, wait, what?

922
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:38,480
He can't understand what she's saying because she's crying so much.

923
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:39,480
Yeah.

924
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:41,680
You need to stop crying so you can hear what you're saying.

925
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:43,160
She's able to tell him.

926
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:44,160
Yeah, it's pretty good.

927
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:45,160
Like this is pretty good.

928
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:47,240
Like just like the voice actor for Sawako is doing.

929
00:37:47,240 --> 00:37:48,240
Yeah, she did a very good job.

930
00:37:48,240 --> 00:37:49,240
Really good job here.

931
00:37:49,240 --> 00:37:50,240
Yeah.

932
00:37:50,240 --> 00:37:51,240
I mean, she's always doing a pretty good job.

933
00:37:51,240 --> 00:37:54,840
I think we talked about this before in terms of like the way she says stuff when she's

934
00:37:54,840 --> 00:38:00,480
a conversation versus like when she's in her head is different and like this is very good.

935
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:01,640
Like crying, talking.

936
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:02,640
Yeah.

937
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:07,080
Well, it's a good depiction because I think a lot of people by default, you speak formally

938
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:12,160
and normally like you have to have an understanding to speak more casually.

939
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:16,800
But so we only hear her speak formally and then her internal dialogue is a different

940
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:17,800
tone.

941
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,280
And then her crying is like super different.

942
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:22,280
It's so good.

943
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:23,560
Very good voice actress.

944
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:24,560
Yeah.

945
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:28,000
And this also is good because like before she's cried in front of Kazehaya and they're

946
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:29,000
all like beautiful.

947
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:36,400
It's subtle cries like silent weeping and this is straight up falling her eyes out.

948
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:37,400
Yeah.

949
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:42,840
Like normally it's like she's like with Misaki wailing in the rain.

950
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:44,280
Like kind of beautiful crying.

951
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:46,000
And this time she's like sobbing.

952
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:47,000
It's like.

953
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:50,760
It's like, let's see.

954
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:55,560
She's able to tell him that she's making him less popular by being around him and Kazehaya

955
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:58,080
is like, dude, I literally don't care about that.

956
00:38:58,080 --> 00:38:59,320
Also that's like my problem.

957
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:03,400
So I don't know why you care about that either.

958
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:04,600
And like I want to be around you.

959
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:05,920
So like don't worry about it.

960
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,800
And Salah goes like, oh, he's so nice.

961
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:12,080
And then she thinks about how this is what she always wanted it like to have people who

962
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:13,080
care about her.

963
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:14,080
Yeah.

964
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:18,240
And she explains kind of more why what's going on, right?

965
00:39:18,240 --> 00:39:19,720
Like the go to sit.

966
00:39:19,720 --> 00:39:23,400
And apparently Kazehaya has not been hearing these rumors.

967
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:25,480
How is that possible?

968
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:26,480
All the school does.

969
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:31,120
You boys not boys ears can't pick up on the rumor channel.

970
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:32,120
Yeah.

971
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:33,480
I mean, like they don't.

972
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:38,080
I don't think like I feel like a lot of guys are going to be like, were you who just like

973
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:39,080
don't care?

974
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:40,080
You know what I mean?

975
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:41,080
Yeah.

976
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:42,080
That's true.

977
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:44,080
And like it wouldn't surprise me if stuff didn't get to kind of because like he know

978
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:45,600
it like they he sits near them, right?

979
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:48,440
So they maybe want to say that to him anyway.

980
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:52,640
Kazehaya by Sawako, a canned coffee to calm her down.

981
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,320
She hands up a dollar in a pretty good scene.

982
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:56,320
Yeah.

983
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:57,320
Yeah.

984
00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:58,320
Pay for it.

985
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:00,720
It's pretty funny.

986
00:40:00,720 --> 00:40:05,960
She thinks about how Kazehaya makes the knot in her heart untangle, which is like kind

987
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:08,560
of the opposite of the thing your crush should make you feel.

988
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:12,400
I feel like it should put you with knots, but I guess he's untangling it for her.

989
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:13,400
So that's good.

990
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:14,920
Well, he's comforted.

991
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:17,160
Well, she's already so anxious anyway.

992
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:20,920
She couldn't possibly handle it amping up.

993
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:21,920
Yeah.

994
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:26,680
It's one of these things where it's like, like he's he has a calming effect, but that's

995
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:29,720
kind of the opposite of having a crush, which is like you're kind of getting nervous.

996
00:40:29,720 --> 00:40:31,720
That's because she doesn't realize that's what it is.

997
00:40:31,720 --> 00:40:32,720
Yeah.

998
00:40:32,720 --> 00:40:35,920
But I'm also like, does she not have like a crush on him?

999
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:39,680
Did she like I always trying to figure out if she actually has a crush on him or not.

1000
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:41,480
And she may not at this point.

1001
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:42,480
You know what I mean?

1002
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:43,480
I don't think so.

1003
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:45,400
I don't think she knows what that means to feel.

1004
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:47,960
So no, she's just grateful for him.

1005
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:48,960
Yeah.

1006
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:50,240
So I don't think she has a crush on him.

1007
00:40:50,240 --> 00:40:51,240
Yeah.

1008
00:40:51,240 --> 00:40:52,240
At the moment.

1009
00:40:52,240 --> 00:40:53,240
Just admire her.

1010
00:40:53,240 --> 00:40:54,240
I don't think she wants to kiss him.

1011
00:40:54,240 --> 00:40:55,240
You know what I mean?

1012
00:40:55,240 --> 00:40:56,240
No, not at all.

1013
00:40:56,240 --> 00:40:57,240
Yeah.

1014
00:40:57,240 --> 00:40:58,240
Too bad, Kazehaya.

1015
00:40:58,240 --> 00:40:59,240
One day.

1016
00:40:59,240 --> 00:41:00,240
I know.

1017
00:41:00,240 --> 00:41:01,240
Just keep at it.

1018
00:41:01,240 --> 00:41:02,240
Yeah.

1019
00:41:02,240 --> 00:41:04,760
You got you got two more seasons, you know, it'll happen eventually.

1020
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:09,160
Kazehaya suggests that Sawako put herself in her friend's shoes for once and Sawako

1021
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:10,720
has a revelation.

1022
00:41:10,720 --> 00:41:16,120
She decides that she's going to talk to Chizu and Ayane after all and like finish the thing,

1023
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:22,320
the sentence she was going to say before about not liking them, but feeling something else.

1024
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:24,040
And that she's going to try to become their friend.

1025
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:26,280
And he's like, yeah, go do it.

1026
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:27,680
I'm cheering you on.

1027
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:28,680
Pretty good.

1028
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:33,120
After school, Ayane and Pint run into each other on the stairs and he's like, it's after

1029
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:34,120
school.

1030
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:35,120
Go home.

1031
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:36,120
And she's like, I'm here to study, dude.

1032
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:37,120
It's the midterms.

1033
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:39,960
And he's like, oh, I didn't know you were a nerd.

1034
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:46,560
I hate when this is a thing in AMA where like they pick their ear or nose to indicate that

1035
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:51,680
they're like only half heartedly listening, you know, to be more blasé, disinterested.

1036
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:52,680
I hate it.

1037
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:53,680
I like it.

1038
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:55,480
Who does bad in real life?

1039
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:56,480
I don't know.

1040
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:57,480
Yeah.

1041
00:41:57,480 --> 00:41:58,480
Just misuse.

1042
00:41:58,480 --> 00:41:59,680
I think it's pretty good.

1043
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:01,680
No, I hate it.

1044
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:05,640
Then she gets mad at him for yesterday and he's like, number one, you can't go blaming

1045
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:07,160
other people for your problems.

1046
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:09,120
Number two, I don't even know what you're talking about.

1047
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:12,200
Number three, even if it's technically my fault, like whatever, I don't care.

1048
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:13,200
I'm a teacher.

1049
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:17,920
And he tells her to solve her own problems.

1050
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:22,320
She goes to the library and sees that Sawako has like checked out a bunch of books about

1051
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:23,320
ghost stories.

1052
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:27,920
And this is where we get the reveal that she just like, this was a joke she said one time.

1053
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:28,920
Yeah.

1054
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:30,720
But that she like took it seriously.

1055
00:42:30,720 --> 00:42:35,080
So she thinks that's very funny and thinks about Sawako and then we transition over to

1056
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:39,760
Chizu who's sitting outside of her house and then post workout where you comes walking

1057
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:43,760
by and is like, oh, you're sitting outside your house like where you normally sit when

1058
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:48,360
you get kicked out and pow and you need me to come like console you or whatever.

1059
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:49,360
What's going on this time?

1060
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:54,360
He's like, are you mad about the rumor about you beating up an old man?

1061
00:42:54,360 --> 00:43:01,240
She's like, no, it's because people are saying Sawako might have spread those and he's like,

1062
00:43:01,240 --> 00:43:06,520
Sawako, the girl with no friends spreading rumors to herself.

1063
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:12,080
She's like, oh, yeah, she has no friends.

1064
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:14,560
There's no way it could be her.

1065
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:18,640
And he's like, and she's like, oh, but she didn't say that she like doesn't that she

1066
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:19,640
doesn't like us.

1067
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:20,640
And we was like, what?

1068
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:24,080
She's like, yeah, we were like, hey, Sawako, we really like you.

1069
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:28,120
And then she didn't say that she likes his back and we could and we was like, why'd you

1070
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:29,640
use the word like?

1071
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:31,360
Doesn't that like meet a lot of different stuff?

1072
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:33,040
It's not really what that word means.

1073
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:35,360
It could mean like anything that she doesn't say that.

1074
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:38,800
And she's just like, oh, and we was like, yeah, maybe you should let her like finish

1075
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:39,800
her sentence.

1076
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:44,400
But if it goes badly, I'll be there to comfort you.

1077
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:48,800
Yeah, and he's a very cool being like, and if she rejects you, I'll come console you

1078
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:52,440
like for real this time and then he leaves because we use great.

1079
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:54,640
Yeah, he's great.

1080
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:59,000
I love this kid.

1081
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,920
The only guy who's not overthinking his relationships.

1082
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:05,000
Really barely thinking at all.

1083
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:06,000
Barely thinking at all.

1084
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:07,000
We'll see.

1085
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:09,280
I mean, it's not his.

1086
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:11,000
These aren't relationships with his personal stakes.

1087
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:14,560
He's not like when the stakes could hire for him personally.

1088
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:16,800
But in this situation, pretty good.

1089
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:18,360
They should be coming to him for advice.

1090
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:22,760
Oh, dude, I really hope Ryu and Sawako become friends and she like comes to him with questions

1091
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:24,440
about like, hey, what did this mean?

1092
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:28,840
What did cause a high of mean when he says he wants to monopolize me and we was like,

1093
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:29,840
come on.

1094
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:33,440
That'd be funny.

1095
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:39,000
Cheezoo checks Sawako's notes later tonight to like study for the midterms and she sees

1096
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:43,760
like a little drawing that Sawako made and she like laughs at it.

1097
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:46,840
And she thinks to herself that there's no way that she could make these notes if they

1098
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:47,840
weren't friends.

1099
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:51,520
Ioni calls Cheezoo in the evening and they talk about Sawako.

1100
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:54,880
They like realize how ridiculous everything's been.

1101
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:58,520
And are basically like, yeah, like there's no way.

1102
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:00,000
Sawako, we like her.

1103
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:03,080
We think about her all the time outside of school.

1104
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:06,640
So like clearly this can't be anything, you know?

1105
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:07,640
Yeah.

1106
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:08,640
Yeah.

1107
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:09,640
So we get that.

1108
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:12,840
Well, essentially they're just thinking about how much they enjoy being with her and that

1109
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:14,680
it must be the same on her end.

1110
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:18,040
And so she couldn't pause and they wouldn't say such things about her.

1111
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:19,040
So vice versa.

1112
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:20,040
Right.

1113
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:23,120
I mean, this is like a big like kind of a big thing with this is that everybody is putting

1114
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:27,920
too much emphasis on like the labels of their relationships.

1115
00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:30,160
Well, it is a big thing there.

1116
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:31,160
Right.

1117
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:32,760
Like everything's very formal.

1118
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:39,400
So they're labels and determining things verbally are important in Japan.

1119
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:40,400
I mean, I guess so.

1120
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:45,920
But again, like labels are supposed to be descriptive, not like prescriptive.

1121
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:46,920
You know what I mean?

1122
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:49,600
Like it's not like, oh, now that we say that we're friends, we can act like friends.

1123
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:53,040
It's like you say you're friends because you've already been acting like a friend to them,

1124
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:54,040
that kind of thing.

1125
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:55,040
Like that's how it's supposed to be.

1126
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:57,840
But they're kind of getting it backwards here, which is like pretty normal.

1127
00:45:57,840 --> 00:45:59,560
Don't do that in real life.

1128
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:02,680
Just have whatever relationship you want with somebody and then you can add a label to it

1129
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:03,680
later.

1130
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:04,680
It's the next day.

1131
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:07,480
Sawako is freaking out in the bathroom because she needs to have this important talk with

1132
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:09,920
Ayane Chizu, but it's also the midterms.

1133
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:11,280
They probably need to like study.

1134
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:14,480
So like, when's she going to have this conversation with them?

1135
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:18,320
She takes too long and a bunch of bullies come into the bathroom talking about the rumors.

1136
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:22,280
Sawako hears this and like, she's like, oh, this is my chance to correct everybody's

1137
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:23,800
misunderstandings.

1138
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:28,400
She comes out and is like, oh, you guys, this has all been a big misunderstanding.

1139
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:29,800
These rumors are not true.

1140
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:34,200
And they all just laugh at her because sometimes things aren't a misunderstanding.

1141
00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:38,160
Sometimes people are just mean and they start to like overtly bully her this time as we

1142
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:39,160
cut the credits.

1143
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:40,160
Yeah.

1144
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:41,160
That's what I was saying last time.

1145
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:43,240
Like you were saying, oh, everyone's bullying her.

1146
00:46:43,240 --> 00:46:49,040
And I was like, oh, well, it's typically much more confrontational when things are being

1147
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:50,520
referenced to as bullying.

1148
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:56,320
This is exactly the kind of thing with the like cornering them against a wall and ganging

1149
00:46:56,320 --> 00:47:02,320
up and all, you know, last time this is so like, yeah, they're doing like real mean girl

1150
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:03,320
shit.

1151
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:04,320
Yeah.

1152
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:08,440
Before they were doing like subtle mean girl shit, which is like spreading rumors, right?

1153
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:09,440
Which is still bullying.

1154
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:11,440
It's just not more passive.

1155
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:12,440
Yeah.

1156
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:13,440
Yeah.

1157
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:16,320
But now she's getting straight up bullied for real.

1158
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:17,320
Yeah.

1159
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:19,400
Well, everything's escalating.

1160
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:27,400
It's wild how much stuff happens in an episode of the show, right?

1161
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:28,400
So much happens.

1162
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:31,400
Like I have to write like 300 bullet points.

1163
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:32,400
Yeah.

1164
00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:33,400
Yeah.

1165
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:34,400
Well, it's wild.

1166
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:38,440
It makes you wonder like, damn, why does it take so many episodes for anything to happen

1167
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:39,440
and show an end?

1168
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:40,440
Like it's so.

1169
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:41,440
Okay.

1170
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:42,440
Hold on.

1171
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:45,440
I guess it's just a lot of monologuing and showing.

1172
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:46,440
What?

1173
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:50,480
The joke is how many episodes does a Dragon Ball fight?

1174
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:51,480
Yeah.

1175
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:53,880
But that's more about production.

1176
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:56,720
That's about the fact that they have to have an episode out every week.

1177
00:47:56,720 --> 00:47:59,200
That's not about like the actual going on thing.

1178
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:02,800
Like now everything is only 12 episodes and everything just flies.

1179
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:03,800
That's true.

1180
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:05,240
And like they should take more episodes.

1181
00:48:05,240 --> 00:48:07,040
This is just a production thing.

1182
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:10,880
I don't think this arc needs to be three episodes necessarily.

1183
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:14,320
Like a lot of stuff happens, but a lot of it is just people rehashing the same stuff

1184
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:20,160
over and over again, which is like very real in terms of like what happens in reality.

1185
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:23,840
But also like, I don't know if the show needs to rehash it over and over and over again

1186
00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:24,840
every time.

1187
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:25,840
You know what I mean?

1188
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:27,440
Like this doesn't bother me so far.

1189
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:30,240
But like if it keeps doing this forever, it would eventually get on my nerves.

1190
00:48:30,240 --> 00:48:31,240
You know what I mean?

1191
00:48:31,240 --> 00:48:32,240
Yes.

1192
00:48:32,240 --> 00:48:36,080
Like how many flashbacks do we need of Sawaka thinking about how her friends are nice to

1193
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:37,080
her?

1194
00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:38,080
You know what I mean?

1195
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:40,080
Like, we get a lot of those.

1196
00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:42,360
She hasn't gotten over it yet.

1197
00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:43,840
People are talking to her.

1198
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:46,520
I mean, it's fine for these like entry stuff.

1199
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:50,720
I feel like if we're doing this on episode 26, I'm going to be like, all right, guys,

1200
00:48:50,720 --> 00:48:53,480
we need to start moving along a little bit faster.

1201
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:58,240
Yes, it does move pretty, pretty, pretty quick here.

1202
00:48:58,240 --> 00:48:59,240
Episode six.

1203
00:48:59,240 --> 00:49:01,240
Episode six is called friends.

1204
00:49:01,240 --> 00:49:05,040
We get a flashback of Sawako as a kid.

1205
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:08,520
One time her friend, Shino, called her Sotako on accident and it stuck.

1206
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:13,280
Then in middle school, I know it's funny that it's not even like a reference to the ring

1207
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:14,280
girl.

1208
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:15,280
She just says the name.

1209
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:18,720
Then in middle school, she got brain as a ghost magnet.

1210
00:49:18,720 --> 00:49:20,240
I guess this is from the ring.

1211
00:49:20,240 --> 00:49:22,560
I think this is the point where that got stuck.

1212
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:26,880
And then now in high school, she's straight up in apparition and people have stories about

1213
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:28,440
her.

1214
00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:32,040
But she says that she was never absolutely miserable in the past.

1215
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:33,040
So it was okay.

1216
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:34,040
Then we're back at the-

1217
00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:35,040
All she ever knew.

1218
00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:36,040
That's all she ever knew.

1219
00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:37,040
Yeah.

1220
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:39,800
But then we're back at the end of last episode and a bunch of students have gathered around

1221
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:40,800
the bathroom entrance.

1222
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:44,480
Kazahaya and Ryu are walking up the stairs and they see a bunch of people around the

1223
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:46,520
bathroom entrance and they're like, what's going on?

1224
00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:49,560
And their friends are there and they're like, oh yeah, there's this big argument going down

1225
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:50,560
in the girl's bathroom.

1226
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:52,040
And Kazahaya is like, oh yeah?

1227
00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:56,840
And they're like, yeah, it's between Sawako and some random girls from class A.

1228
00:49:56,840 --> 00:49:58,320
And he's like, what?

1229
00:49:58,320 --> 00:50:02,320
And they're also like, yeah, also Sawako started it.

1230
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:04,880
And Kazahaya is like, I don't think that's true.

1231
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:06,880
That sounds not real.

1232
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:10,400
But then Ayane and Chizu show up and they decide that they're going to go in.

1233
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:13,440
They're going in to save a girl or to save their girl.

1234
00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:16,560
Ryu is like, Kazahaya, are you going to hang back and just let this happen?

1235
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:20,000
And Kazahaya is like, yeah, we're going to let them resolve this because this is between

1236
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:21,000
them.

1237
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:23,320
I'm going to not be the main character of this episode.

1238
00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:25,120
Yeah, I like that.

1239
00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:26,120
No, it's good.

1240
00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:27,120
I mean, he's right.

1241
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:29,200
He's not inserting himself where he shouldn't.

1242
00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:31,080
Yeah, just because he likes her.

1243
00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:33,680
He's not even allowed to go in the girl's bathroom.

1244
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:35,080
Letting her develop on her own.

1245
00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:37,000
Not handholding her through everything.

1246
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:39,200
So he's just going to stay in the back.

1247
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:42,800
In the bathrooms, also, Ryu very clearly understands that he likes her.

1248
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:44,480
Yeah, everybody does.

1249
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:45,800
It's incredibly clear.

1250
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:46,800
Except her.

1251
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:49,280
He understands this, except her.

1252
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:53,280
God, why don't Chizu and Ayane say anything about this to her?

1253
00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:55,320
I've got other stuff going on.

1254
00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:56,320
I'm sure they will.

1255
00:50:56,320 --> 00:50:57,320
It's probably next episode.

1256
00:50:57,320 --> 00:50:58,320
They're going to say something.

1257
00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:01,000
If they never say anything, I'm going to lose my mind.

1258
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:05,720
In the bathroom, Sawako says that they're wrong about Ayane and Chizu.

1259
00:51:05,720 --> 00:51:08,680
And one of the girls like shoves her over and she falls down.

1260
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:11,800
And then the girl is like, the girl is like, dude, I know.

1261
00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:14,680
Also, aren't you the one spreading these rumors anyway?

1262
00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:16,920
Why are you telling me they're wrong?

1263
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:20,840
And Sawako freaks out because this is the first time she has heard that she's the one

1264
00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:23,160
spreading these rumors.

1265
00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:24,640
And she's like, but I'm not doing that.

1266
00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:27,240
And the girl literally steps on her.

1267
00:51:27,240 --> 00:51:29,560
Her foot is on her chest.

1268
00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:33,480
And she says that she's going to put her in her place because we're just straight up

1269
00:51:33,480 --> 00:51:36,920
like Sawako is about to get into a fistfight.

1270
00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:39,120
Throw it down.

1271
00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:41,120
Needs to summon some spirits.

1272
00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:42,120
Yeah.

1273
00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:43,120
So she's like, I'm going to put you in her place.

1274
00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:46,280
Also, Ayane and Chizu are probably talking shit about you anyway.

1275
00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:49,520
And like, honestly, we're just mad at you because you're hanging out with Kazehaya.

1276
00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:51,760
We don't even care about that other stuff.

1277
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:55,440
So you know, like if you just go back to being invisible, you know, we're all good.

1278
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:56,640
We'll all be good here.

1279
00:51:56,640 --> 00:51:57,640
We'll just leave you alone.

1280
00:51:57,640 --> 00:52:00,440
Sawako says that they need to take everything they've said back.

1281
00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:04,720
Well, basically, she doesn't care if they leave her alone as long as they leave them

1282
00:52:04,720 --> 00:52:06,640
alone or martyr.

1283
00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:10,520
Ayane and Chizu are great people and I don't like them.

1284
00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:11,520
Dot, dot, dot.

1285
00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:12,520
I love them.

1286
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:13,520
God, so goofy.

1287
00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:21,200
Ayane and Chizu, who are watching this from the doorway, finally come to her aid and

1288
00:52:21,200 --> 00:52:23,600
Chizu intimidates them and they leave.

1289
00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:26,160
And Sawako is like, oh, thank you all for saving me.

1290
00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:29,560
Outside, Kazehaya is pissed off and he just has to wait there.

1291
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:33,120
He sees the bullies leaving the bathroom and he very loudly says that he thinks people

1292
00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:37,080
who gossip are disgusting so that they can totally hear him say that.

1293
00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:41,880
Also, there's no way, yeah, I mean, he's like, there's no way Sawako would spread those

1294
00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:45,240
rumors anyway because she's like super nice and some girls.

1295
00:52:45,240 --> 00:52:46,240
The same girls.

1296
00:52:46,240 --> 00:52:51,160
No, the same girls come by and catch him up on what is happening in the bathroom and

1297
00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:53,320
everyone is like, oh, it's a happy ending.

1298
00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:54,520
Like the good guys won.

1299
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:55,520
That's great.

1300
00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:56,520
This must be good luck for my midterms.

1301
00:52:56,520 --> 00:52:59,680
Everybody's happy about like having good luck for their midterms.

1302
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:03,960
And Kazehaya is like, oh, Sawako would like this, that she's like cursing people in a

1303
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:04,960
positive way.

1304
00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:07,360
She's like giving them a blessing, which is very funny.

1305
00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:08,960
Everybody's very weird.

1306
00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:13,200
Like, they're just like kids like announcing like what's happening.

1307
00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:15,800
Well, hot gas.

1308
00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:18,640
I know, but like it's also happening right in front of them.

1309
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:23,120
Like there are scenes where like the girls are like taking pictures over like the divider

1310
00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:29,320
of essentially like how when the courtroom fills up for a big case where people want

1311
00:53:29,320 --> 00:53:34,280
to watch that they're all crowded outside waiting for the verdict to be read, essentially

1312
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:36,400
is the vibe of this whole thing.

1313
00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:39,800
Yeah, nobody like good Samaritan trying to intervene.

1314
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:40,800
Uh-uh.

1315
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:41,800
Nope.

1316
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:46,560
No, no interest in just like being generically nice to other people.

1317
00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:51,000
Back in the bathroom, Sawako gives her big speech about how she wants to be friends with

1318
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:53,600
Ayane and Chizu and she loves hanging out with them and stuff.

1319
00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:56,320
And their response is like, did you not think we wanted that?

1320
00:53:56,320 --> 00:54:01,440
Like obviously we want to be friends with you and then they think they laugh at how ridiculous

1321
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:06,520
this all is and Ayane hugs her and Chizu apologizes for ever doubting her.

1322
00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:10,920
They also love her and they're all friends and then they all hug and spin around.

1323
00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:11,920
Yeah.

1324
00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:12,920
Yeah.

1325
00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:15,960
The students are still gathered around and Kazehaya's friends announces to the crowd

1326
00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:19,080
that everybody made up and everyone's like, yay.

1327
00:54:19,080 --> 00:54:20,960
And then Ryu's like, yeah, of course it worked out.

1328
00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:23,000
This was ridiculous from the get go.

1329
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:24,320
No, he's like, shoot.

1330
00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:26,520
I don't get to console her, I guess.

1331
00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:27,520
Oh yeah.

1332
00:54:27,520 --> 00:54:29,020
I guess so.

1333
00:54:29,020 --> 00:54:30,020
He does.

1334
00:54:30,020 --> 00:54:32,960
I don't think that's actually what he wanted to have happen.

1335
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:37,080
Pin comes out of nowhere and rushes to stop the fight and he like bursts into the bathroom

1336
00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:40,760
and then he's pissed off and see three girls hugging and he's like, why aren't you guys

1337
00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:41,760
fighting?

1338
00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:43,200
I'm supposed to break up a fight.

1339
00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:44,480
Everybody get the heck out of here.

1340
00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:45,480
Everybody leave.

1341
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:47,920
And he makes everybody leave.

1342
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:53,920
As like Sawako walks out, she sees Kazehaya who congratulates her on doing a good job

1343
00:54:53,920 --> 00:54:55,560
of like making up with her friends.

1344
00:54:55,560 --> 00:54:57,240
And that's the end of that scene.

1345
00:54:57,240 --> 00:55:02,600
She smiles real pretty and then he blushy blushes or just little blackout.

1346
00:55:02,600 --> 00:55:03,600
Yeah.

1347
00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:06,600
He gets a nice smile.

1348
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:09,760
But it isn't just for him because Ayane and Chizawa are also there.

1349
00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:10,760
So.

1350
00:55:10,760 --> 00:55:13,200
Well, yeah, he just gets to see it.

1351
00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:14,200
Man.

1352
00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:15,200
Pretty good.

1353
00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:18,840
I like how this works out.

1354
00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:21,160
Everybody's in front of like the fact that she's like, I don't like them.

1355
00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:22,160
I love them.

1356
00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:27,480
So it's the most like I could think about is the fire or the what like five ever meme

1357
00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:30,920
or whatever where it's like, oh, do you love me forever?

1358
00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:31,920
And it's like, no.

1359
00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:35,920
And then they die and they're like, I was going to say that I love you five ever or

1360
00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:37,480
something stupid like that.

1361
00:55:37,480 --> 00:55:39,480
You know what I mean?

1362
00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:40,480
Okay.

1363
00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:41,480
Yeah.

1364
00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:45,480
And then eventually they freaking finally call her Sawako.

1365
00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:46,480
Her actual name.

1366
00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:47,480
They do call her Sawako.

1367
00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:48,480
Instead of Sawako.

1368
00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:49,480
Woohoo.

1369
00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:50,480
Progress.

1370
00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:52,040
Maybe maybe they should have been doing that for the baby.

1371
00:55:52,040 --> 00:55:53,040
Maybe the reason she didn't think.

1372
00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:54,040
Now they're really friends.

1373
00:55:54,040 --> 00:55:55,040
I mean, by her name.

1374
00:55:55,040 --> 00:55:56,040
Maybe.

1375
00:55:56,040 --> 00:55:57,040
Yeah.

1376
00:55:57,040 --> 00:56:00,240
Like I only knows that she doesn't get her jokes.

1377
00:56:00,240 --> 00:56:02,520
Like you could be a little bit kinder.

1378
00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:03,520
That's true.

1379
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:04,520
Have it.

1380
00:56:04,520 --> 00:56:05,520
Die hard.

1381
00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:06,520
Yeah.

1382
00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:07,520
And then we see everyone.

1383
00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:12,280
Fluffy blonde girl skulking about being like, well, because we hear the bullies being

1384
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:13,280
sad.

1385
00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:14,280
But there's some more stuff.

1386
00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:15,280
There's some more stuff.

1387
00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:16,280
Okay.

1388
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:17,280
Let's see.

1389
00:56:17,280 --> 00:56:20,520
The midterms are over and Sawako sucked it up and only got ranked 30th out of the

1390
00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:23,600
whole class because she failed all her tests on the first day.

1391
00:56:23,600 --> 00:56:25,160
Which is freaking out about her friends.

1392
00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:26,440
I told you girl.

1393
00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:28,040
I told you to take the test.

1394
00:56:28,040 --> 00:56:29,640
Don't cry in your test.

1395
00:56:29,640 --> 00:56:30,640
That's not bad still.

1396
00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:31,640
Probably.

1397
00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:32,640
Oh yeah.

1398
00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:33,640
Like I had a cheese.

1399
00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:35,560
I had a cheese that were like, dang you're 30th.

1400
00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:36,560
That's really good.

1401
00:56:36,560 --> 00:56:40,320
And she's like, yeah, I totally like didn't even take the first test.

1402
00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:42,760
So I'm assuming she's normally ranked pretty high.

1403
00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:43,760
Yeah.

1404
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:45,120
Which I think would make her more popular.

1405
00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:46,120
But I guess not.

1406
00:56:46,120 --> 00:56:47,120
I know, right?

1407
00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:48,120
Well.

1408
00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:51,480
The thing that does make her more popular is that the rest of her class did unusually

1409
00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:53,160
well because her notes were so good.

1410
00:56:53,160 --> 00:56:54,160
There you go.

1411
00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:55,520
That should also improve her standing.

1412
00:56:55,520 --> 00:56:57,040
So things should be going pretty good for her.

1413
00:56:57,040 --> 00:57:00,960
Ion and Chizu invite Sawako to hang out after school.

1414
00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:04,600
This is bad for Kazehaya because that means he missed his chance to hang out with her.

1415
00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:08,120
Well, basically he's like, damn, now that they're such good friends, she's just always

1416
00:57:08,120 --> 00:57:11,360
going to be hanging out with them and there's going to be no time for me to get with her

1417
00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:12,360
by herself.

1418
00:57:12,360 --> 00:57:13,360
It's extremely funny.

1419
00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:15,080
But also happy for her.

1420
00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:21,360
Yeah, it's so funny that like the start of these three episodes is Sawako being like,

1421
00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:23,880
what did Kazehaya mean about monopolizing me?

1422
00:57:23,880 --> 00:57:30,640
And then this episode is like, oh, shit, I can't monopolize her now because she has

1423
00:57:30,640 --> 00:57:31,640
friends.

1424
00:57:31,640 --> 00:57:32,640
Yeah.

1425
00:57:32,640 --> 00:57:35,840
She smiles at him on the way out and he collapses like a heap.

1426
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:40,200
I also have written down that Ryu just watches this happen.

1427
00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:42,520
Ryu is taking it all in.

1428
00:57:42,520 --> 00:57:49,880
Yeah, Shino sees the three of them after school and is like congratulates Sawako on making

1429
00:57:49,880 --> 00:57:51,360
some friends and then leaves.

1430
00:57:51,360 --> 00:57:54,200
So maybe this is the last time we see her.

1431
00:57:54,200 --> 00:57:56,000
Maybe, probably.

1432
00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:57,440
I see you have made other friends.

1433
00:57:57,440 --> 00:57:58,920
I can now move Ion.

1434
00:57:58,920 --> 00:57:59,920
Good.

1435
00:57:59,920 --> 00:58:02,040
Passing the baton on, yep.

1436
00:58:02,040 --> 00:58:03,040
Very funny.

1437
00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:09,400
Her, the one who got everybody to call them Sawako in the first place is Overpopped.

1438
00:58:09,400 --> 00:58:13,640
The OG bully on accident elsewhere.

1439
00:58:13,640 --> 00:58:18,960
The bullies from before are sad that Kazehaya hates them now, especially the main girl who

1440
00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:22,120
like the one stepping on her.

1441
00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:27,120
The one stepping on her because she was especially into him and she cries and runs off and then

1442
00:58:27,120 --> 00:58:30,680
we see the blonde chick who's like sitting around the corner like a real villain being

1443
00:58:30,680 --> 00:58:32,400
like, yeah, of course.

1444
00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:33,400
Like what?

1445
00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:35,120
You thought he was going to react positively to that?

1446
00:58:35,120 --> 00:58:40,680
All or all losers as we cut the credits.

1447
00:58:40,680 --> 00:58:41,680
It's very funny.

1448
00:58:41,680 --> 00:58:44,360
She's like, you guys are literally so stupid.

1449
00:58:44,360 --> 00:58:48,840
Well, what do you think is going to happen next with her?

1450
00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:49,840
Well, she's scheming.

1451
00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:52,040
As we can see, she's not, she's not dumb.

1452
00:58:52,040 --> 00:58:53,400
She's not a cartoon bully.

1453
00:58:53,400 --> 00:58:55,240
She is a methodical bully.

1454
00:58:55,240 --> 00:58:58,240
So I think she's going to, I think she's going to try to be sweet.

1455
00:58:58,240 --> 00:59:00,920
Oh, she's going to try to be Sawako's friend, isn't she?

1456
00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:03,040
Oh snap, you think?

1457
00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:06,480
She's going to like leech her way in like all of the stuff we were concerned about.

1458
00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:08,920
Like, oh, is this person, this person's pretending to be my friend?

1459
00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:09,920
Do they not actually like me?

1460
00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:12,840
Is what she is for real going to do.

1461
00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:15,240
Right as we begin not to believe that.

1462
00:59:15,240 --> 00:59:17,800
Right as we let her guard down.

1463
00:59:17,800 --> 00:59:18,800
No.

1464
00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:19,800
Oh man.

1465
00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:20,800
Oh no.

1466
00:59:20,800 --> 00:59:28,160
Well, hopefully Chizu and Ayane are looking out for her and more aware of these things

1467
00:59:28,160 --> 00:59:29,840
on her behalf.

1468
00:59:29,840 --> 00:59:31,160
Does nobody know this chick?

1469
00:59:31,160 --> 00:59:32,160
We'll find out, won't we?

1470
00:59:32,160 --> 00:59:33,160
I guess we'll find out.

1471
00:59:33,160 --> 00:59:34,600
She's pretty cute, huh?

1472
00:59:34,600 --> 00:59:35,600
She's blonde.

1473
00:59:35,600 --> 00:59:40,560
Well, she's like every like the pretty, there's such a difference between the like NPCs and

1474
00:59:40,560 --> 00:59:42,040
the main character designs.

1475
00:59:42,040 --> 00:59:45,040
The eyes being all shiny.

1476
00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:46,040
Yep.

1477
00:59:46,040 --> 00:59:47,680
So we'll see, we'll see how it goes.

1478
00:59:47,680 --> 00:59:48,680
I'm interested.

1479
00:59:48,680 --> 00:59:49,680
Yeah.

1480
00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:51,680
I like how we got a lot of new.

1481
00:59:51,680 --> 00:59:52,680
Oh yeah.

1482
00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:55,640
Don't worry, there will be plenty more for you to come.

1483
00:59:55,640 --> 00:59:56,640
Hell yes.

1484
00:59:56,640 --> 00:59:59,360
Well, you think so far.

1485
00:59:59,360 --> 01:00:00,880
Still, I enjoyed it.

1486
01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:03,000
I mean, like I think this was pretty good.

1487
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:05,960
I do like how everybody was acting pretty reasonably the whole time.

1488
01:00:05,960 --> 01:00:09,080
I mean, it's kind of like what I was saying earlier in terms of like, yeah, a lot of like

1489
01:00:09,080 --> 01:00:13,440
kind of ridiculous, plotty stuff happens and like a lot of things could have been resolved

1490
01:00:13,440 --> 01:00:17,960
very easily had everybody just finished their sentence.

1491
01:00:17,960 --> 01:00:20,000
But like it kind of makes sense that they didn't finish their sentence.

1492
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:21,920
So like I'm pretty satisfied with this.

1493
01:00:21,920 --> 01:00:25,120
This could have been like in a lesser show, this would have been way more cartoony.

1494
01:00:25,120 --> 01:00:30,440
And I think it's pretty good that it isn't, you know, I like the idea of I want to be

1495
01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:32,120
friends with somebody at the level.

1496
01:00:32,120 --> 01:00:35,360
I see them be friends with somebody else, but I don't know how to make that happen.

1497
01:00:35,360 --> 01:00:36,360
You know what I mean?

1498
01:00:36,360 --> 01:00:42,160
Like there's a little bit of a job of like depicting or making it easy for us to understand

1499
01:00:42,160 --> 01:00:45,280
how she doesn't understand these things.

1500
01:00:45,280 --> 01:00:51,440
But once to you know, for being like a wacko, she's like a relatable character kind of or

1501
01:00:51,440 --> 01:00:52,440
likeable character.

1502
01:00:52,440 --> 01:00:53,440
We need to.

1503
01:00:53,440 --> 01:00:56,560
So I got some feedback on our episode, our last episode.

1504
01:00:56,560 --> 01:00:57,560
People think we don't like Sawakow.

1505
01:00:57,560 --> 01:01:00,640
People think we're really mean about it.

1506
01:01:00,640 --> 01:01:05,040
Is this our mutual acquaintance who likes this show?

1507
01:01:05,040 --> 01:01:06,040
Yeah.

1508
01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:07,040
Yeah.

1509
01:01:07,040 --> 01:01:08,040
I've heard it from a couple of different people.

1510
01:01:08,040 --> 01:01:09,040
Oh, OK.

1511
01:01:09,040 --> 01:01:10,920
They do not think we like Sawakow, which is.

1512
01:01:10,920 --> 01:01:11,920
I like Sawakow.

1513
01:01:11,920 --> 01:01:12,920
Yeah, I like Sawakow.

1514
01:01:12,920 --> 01:01:17,280
When I say that she's like the dumbest girl alive.

1515
01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:19,040
I'm saying that I'm saying that.

1516
01:01:19,040 --> 01:01:20,040
Indearingly.

1517
01:01:20,040 --> 01:01:21,040
Indearingly.

1518
01:01:21,040 --> 01:01:22,040
Yes.

1519
01:01:22,040 --> 01:01:25,160
It's a flattery, open parentheses, positive close parentheses.

1520
01:01:25,160 --> 01:01:28,160
No, she's a likable character for sure.

1521
01:01:28,160 --> 01:01:30,160
See, look at you getting feedback.

1522
01:01:30,160 --> 01:01:34,760
God, no one I know who listens to this knows what the hell's happening.

1523
01:01:34,760 --> 01:01:37,160
Your grandma didn't talk to you about it this morning.

1524
01:01:37,160 --> 01:01:39,160
No, she didn't.

1525
01:01:39,160 --> 01:01:40,160
Grandma.

1526
01:01:40,160 --> 01:01:41,160
Yeah.

1527
01:01:41,160 --> 01:01:43,240
No, I do like Sawakow.

1528
01:01:43,240 --> 01:01:46,960
I think I think this is like the character growth here is pretty good.

1529
01:01:46,960 --> 01:01:50,360
Like I think like learning to be empathetic and like thinking about other people's value

1530
01:01:50,360 --> 01:01:54,720
system is a thing you can only really start to do when you have other people's value systems

1531
01:01:54,720 --> 01:01:56,560
to think about like when you have friends.

1532
01:01:56,560 --> 01:02:00,840
So I think it's like pretty good to have that be like a main thing in here.

1533
01:02:00,840 --> 01:02:04,680
You know, I think getting caught up in language is also pretty good in terms of like, you

1534
01:02:04,680 --> 01:02:08,520
know, she doesn't say that she likes them and she's just like, why didn't she just say

1535
01:02:08,520 --> 01:02:10,040
that she likes his back?

1536
01:02:10,040 --> 01:02:12,120
That would have solved everything.

1537
01:02:12,120 --> 01:02:17,120
And like Ryu has to be like, you know, there's a lot of reasons why she didn't say that verbatim.

1538
01:02:17,120 --> 01:02:20,800
Like I don't think you should take that super hard.

1539
01:02:20,800 --> 01:02:24,000
Like it could be this could all just be a misunderstanding.

1540
01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:26,400
It could and it is because Sawakow is like, I love them.

1541
01:02:26,400 --> 01:02:28,480
I don't like them.

1542
01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:29,560
I think that's pretty good.

1543
01:02:29,560 --> 01:02:32,800
You know, I think people can get caught up in words if you don't think about like what

1544
01:02:32,800 --> 01:02:34,200
you're saying very specifically.

1545
01:02:34,200 --> 01:02:37,720
Typically, yeah, when you're fighting in particular.

1546
01:02:37,720 --> 01:02:38,720
Yeah.

1547
01:02:38,720 --> 01:02:40,200
Well, I mean, she's like socially awkward, right?

1548
01:02:40,200 --> 01:02:43,800
So she's a very precise in her language, which is like good.

1549
01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:46,720
And she can't interpret other language as well.

1550
01:02:46,720 --> 01:02:51,600
If it's bad, like it's good in terms of like, you can get across what you're saying.

1551
01:02:51,600 --> 01:02:54,720
It's bad because people interpret.

1552
01:02:54,720 --> 01:02:59,120
I mean, this is the whole the first episode where she's like, I admire Kazehaya.

1553
01:02:59,120 --> 01:03:00,120
He's great.

1554
01:03:00,120 --> 01:03:01,880
And everyone's like, dude, she has the biggest crush on you ever.

1555
01:03:01,880 --> 01:03:05,720
But it's right when she doesn't because her language is like too precise.

1556
01:03:05,720 --> 01:03:06,720
Yeah.

1557
01:03:06,720 --> 01:03:08,840
She's trying to say.

1558
01:03:08,840 --> 01:03:09,840
So that's pretty good.

1559
01:03:09,840 --> 01:03:11,200
Like I like all that stuff.

1560
01:03:11,200 --> 01:03:13,040
And that stuff like shows up here.

1561
01:03:13,040 --> 01:03:15,680
We like Sawakow to make it clear.

1562
01:03:15,680 --> 01:03:16,680
Sawakow.

1563
01:03:16,680 --> 01:03:18,040
We liked Kazehaya.

1564
01:03:18,040 --> 01:03:22,840
We like Cheezeroo and Iane and Ryu.

1565
01:03:22,840 --> 01:03:23,840
I love Penn.

1566
01:03:23,840 --> 01:03:24,840
I like Ryu.

1567
01:03:24,840 --> 01:03:25,840
Penn is weird.

1568
01:03:25,840 --> 01:03:28,840
It's a pretty good comedy.

1569
01:03:28,840 --> 01:03:30,240
I like the comedy with Penn.

1570
01:03:30,240 --> 01:03:32,160
I like how all of them hate him.

1571
01:03:32,160 --> 01:03:33,160
Yeah.

1572
01:03:33,160 --> 01:03:34,840
He's like, dude, leave me alone.

1573
01:03:34,840 --> 01:03:36,320
I'm a high schooler.

1574
01:03:36,320 --> 01:03:37,320
Jesus.

1575
01:03:37,320 --> 01:03:38,760
Oh man, it's good.

1576
01:03:38,760 --> 01:03:39,760
But I do.

1577
01:03:39,760 --> 01:03:43,920
I do wonder like what is what are like, what are they going to have in common?

1578
01:03:43,920 --> 01:03:47,360
Like what is Sawakow going to have in common with Iane and Cheezeroo?

1579
01:03:47,360 --> 01:03:52,000
I mean, I have like, well, not that I have that many friends, but sometimes it's just

1580
01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:58,040
more like shared experiences can be what bond you and not necessarily super similar interests.

1581
01:03:58,040 --> 01:04:01,160
Also Sawakow beggars can't be choosers.

1582
01:04:01,160 --> 01:04:03,000
She'll take whatever friend she can get.

1583
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:04,000
No, I know.

1584
01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:07,440
But I'm like, why they like, she's doing the ghost story thing with Iane.

1585
01:04:07,440 --> 01:04:10,280
I don't know if that's going to stick because I don't really know what I actually likes

1586
01:04:10,280 --> 01:04:11,280
to do.

1587
01:04:11,280 --> 01:04:14,680
I guess we get that like, she's kind of a jock.

1588
01:04:14,680 --> 01:04:16,240
Although I don't know what she plays.

1589
01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:20,440
Yeah, well, we'll learn more about them individually.

1590
01:04:20,440 --> 01:04:24,320
Yeah, I just need, Sawakow just needs to adopt a hobby.

1591
01:04:24,320 --> 01:04:25,320
She needs a hobby.

1592
01:04:25,320 --> 01:04:26,320
I know.

1593
01:04:26,320 --> 01:04:32,760
She should be like knitting or I feel like something, I don't know, like paper mache.

1594
01:04:32,760 --> 01:04:34,920
She should be doing like the New York Times Crossword or something.

1595
01:04:34,920 --> 01:04:35,920
Yeah.

1596
01:04:35,920 --> 01:04:36,920
Like that should be her deal.

1597
01:04:36,920 --> 01:04:41,120
She needs to go people watching and just learn how to be human.

1598
01:04:41,120 --> 01:04:43,600
She needs to just watch some TV, honestly.

1599
01:04:43,600 --> 01:04:44,600
Yeah.

1600
01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:48,480
I don't normally recommend people watch TV, but she definitely needs to watch TV.

1601
01:04:48,480 --> 01:04:51,800
I mean, I tell people to watch anime, but like she needs to just, she's just sitting

1602
01:04:51,800 --> 01:04:55,160
in front of the couch and watch some TV.

1603
01:04:55,160 --> 01:04:56,160
That would solve her problems.

1604
01:04:56,160 --> 01:04:59,400
She's apparently like, but baking.

1605
01:04:59,400 --> 01:05:01,440
She made those cookies for them earlier.

1606
01:05:01,440 --> 01:05:02,440
That's true.

1607
01:05:02,440 --> 01:05:03,440
But that's not social.

1608
01:05:03,440 --> 01:05:06,640
She needs to watch like fucking Martha Stewart or something like at least something that's

1609
01:05:06,640 --> 01:05:09,040
like you could see some people interact.

1610
01:05:09,040 --> 01:05:10,040
Yeah.

1611
01:05:10,040 --> 01:05:11,040
Oh man.

1612
01:05:11,040 --> 01:05:12,040
Yeah.

1613
01:05:12,040 --> 01:05:15,040
That's our episodes for five and six.

1614
01:05:15,040 --> 01:05:17,920
Making our way through it.

1615
01:05:17,920 --> 01:05:18,920
Yep.

1616
01:05:18,920 --> 01:05:19,920
Yep.

1617
01:05:19,920 --> 01:05:20,920
Pretty good.

1618
01:05:20,920 --> 01:05:21,920
They're friends now.

1619
01:05:21,920 --> 01:05:22,920
They're definitely part of the main cast.

1620
01:05:22,920 --> 01:05:23,920
That's good.

1621
01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:26,720
One day we'll learn the names of those two other girls whose names I didn't catch, but

1622
01:05:26,720 --> 01:05:28,040
they're not important enough.

1623
01:05:28,040 --> 01:05:29,040
Yeah.

1624
01:05:29,040 --> 01:05:32,040
Well, they're just, they're around.

1625
01:05:32,040 --> 01:05:38,280
They're not super important, but they are a round to serve different purposes.

1626
01:05:38,280 --> 01:05:40,360
The plot device girls.

1627
01:05:40,360 --> 01:05:41,360
Yep.

1628
01:05:41,360 --> 01:05:42,360
Yep.

1629
01:05:42,360 --> 01:05:43,360
Yep.

1630
01:05:43,360 --> 01:05:44,360
Okay.

1631
01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:46,640
So I want to roll into recommendations now.

1632
01:05:46,640 --> 01:05:47,640
Sure.

1633
01:05:47,640 --> 01:05:48,840
I've got mine.

1634
01:05:48,840 --> 01:05:50,320
Do you have one prepared?

1635
01:05:50,320 --> 01:05:51,320
In advance?

1636
01:05:51,320 --> 01:05:52,320
I do.

1637
01:05:52,320 --> 01:05:53,320
Yep.

1638
01:05:53,320 --> 01:05:54,320
I do.

1639
01:05:54,320 --> 01:05:55,320
You go first.

1640
01:05:55,320 --> 01:05:58,720
I'm going to recommend a video game because I just pre-played one.

1641
01:05:58,720 --> 01:06:04,080
So I have Game Pass, which is like the Microsoft thing that like lets you play games if you

1642
01:06:04,080 --> 01:06:07,000
pay a subscription, which I do on my PC.

1643
01:06:07,000 --> 01:06:08,000
And I was just looking on there.

1644
01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:09,480
I'm like, maybe I should play something.

1645
01:06:09,480 --> 01:06:11,840
I really want to play, or I never played Mirror's Edge.

1646
01:06:11,840 --> 01:06:15,640
Oh, I saw you play that the other day and I was like, yeah.

1647
01:06:15,640 --> 01:06:16,640
Yeah.

1648
01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:20,000
Which is the sequel to Mirror's Edge, which is a game I really liked that was in 2008.

1649
01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:21,000
Yeah.

1650
01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:22,800
It's like parkour, first person.

1651
01:06:22,800 --> 01:06:23,800
Yeah.

1652
01:06:23,800 --> 01:06:26,840
So I replayed the first one, which was, which was pretty fun.

1653
01:06:26,840 --> 01:06:29,240
Like it had been a long time since I played it.

1654
01:06:29,240 --> 01:06:32,400
I played it like a bunch when it came out because it was like one of the Xbox games I had that

1655
01:06:32,400 --> 01:06:35,360
like has really good replayability.

1656
01:06:35,360 --> 01:06:41,400
So the original Mirror's Edge is a first person, like free running parkour game.

1657
01:06:41,400 --> 01:06:46,400
So most of the game is about movement, where you are like jumping across buildings and

1658
01:06:46,400 --> 01:06:51,480
like vaulting off of things to climb on top of other like objects.

1659
01:06:51,480 --> 01:06:52,880
You're like grabbing onto zip lines.

1660
01:06:52,880 --> 01:06:57,520
Like it's all about like moving and getting from one place to the other.

1661
01:06:57,520 --> 01:07:01,440
It's like a very stylish game in terms of like you're in a city where everything's kind

1662
01:07:01,440 --> 01:07:07,120
of like bleached white and everything you interact with is like shown in red in terms

1663
01:07:07,120 --> 01:07:08,680
of like this is the direction you need to go.

1664
01:07:08,680 --> 01:07:14,760
So there's some very interesting like game design layout happening with this game.

1665
01:07:14,760 --> 01:07:17,760
The plot is very like kind of straightforward.

1666
01:07:17,760 --> 01:07:24,280
You play as Faith, who is a runner, which is like a smuggler kind of smuggler.

1667
01:07:24,280 --> 01:07:25,280
Yeah.

1668
01:07:25,280 --> 01:07:30,840
But like it's all based on like you're a courier carrying stuff by hand or like, you know,

1669
01:07:30,840 --> 01:07:33,960
like literally carrying it from one place to the other.

1670
01:07:33,960 --> 01:07:36,120
And you kind of work with this underground network.

1671
01:07:36,120 --> 01:07:42,040
And then your sister gets framed for a murder who she's like a cop and you are trying to

1672
01:07:42,040 --> 01:07:44,040
help get her name cleared.

1673
01:07:44,040 --> 01:07:47,040
And you know, it's like deals with conspiracy and all sort of stuff.

1674
01:07:47,040 --> 01:07:49,960
But like the levels are really fun in terms of like there are some levels that are just

1675
01:07:49,960 --> 01:07:53,200
about like, okay, you're at the bottom of a building and you need to climb all the way

1676
01:07:53,200 --> 01:07:54,400
to the top.

1677
01:07:54,400 --> 01:07:58,160
There are some that's like, you need to get past a bunch of enemies.

1678
01:07:58,160 --> 01:08:00,440
They're just going to be like pouring out and like chasing after you.

1679
01:08:00,440 --> 01:08:03,960
And you just have to like keep running as fast as possible.

1680
01:08:03,960 --> 01:08:05,280
Pretty good sequences.

1681
01:08:05,280 --> 01:08:08,960
I tend to like the ones that are just like you need to climb a thing really quickly.

1682
01:08:08,960 --> 01:08:11,400
And you, you know, you don't have enemies or anything like that.

1683
01:08:11,400 --> 01:08:13,280
So lots of cool levels.

1684
01:08:13,280 --> 01:08:14,280
It's really fun.

1685
01:08:14,280 --> 01:08:20,160
If you've never like played, it's like a different type of game than I think you would normally

1686
01:08:20,160 --> 01:08:23,200
kind of play even though it's like in a first person setting.

1687
01:08:23,200 --> 01:08:28,160
So you kind of have the toolkit of most first person games, but you're doing something very

1688
01:08:28,160 --> 01:08:30,760
different than what you would normally do in a first person game.

1689
01:08:30,760 --> 01:08:34,280
Yeah, I like God, I suck at it though.

1690
01:08:34,280 --> 01:08:35,440
So I never finished it.

1691
01:08:35,440 --> 01:08:36,960
I'm not very good at it.

1692
01:08:36,960 --> 01:08:38,160
But yeah, right.

1693
01:08:38,160 --> 01:08:42,760
Like dice did the sequel catalyst, I think it was called.

1694
01:08:42,760 --> 01:08:43,760
Yeah, that came out in 20.

1695
01:08:43,760 --> 01:08:44,760
I haven't played it before.

1696
01:08:44,760 --> 01:08:48,560
I'm looking forward to it because I like the first game is a little janky, like a lot of

1697
01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:49,560
stuff.

1698
01:08:49,560 --> 01:08:51,560
You'll just get caught on random things.

1699
01:08:51,560 --> 01:08:55,080
The first game in series typically that are trying something.

1700
01:08:55,080 --> 01:08:56,080
Yeah.

1701
01:08:56,080 --> 01:08:59,760
A lot of the time is like if you don't make a jump like perfectly or like a weird angle,

1702
01:08:59,760 --> 01:09:02,360
you'll lose and have to restart.

1703
01:09:02,360 --> 01:09:06,320
It's really easy to get like your legs stuck on something because like if they if like you

1704
01:09:06,320 --> 01:09:10,600
step on a thing that doesn't have like a like if the plane isn't perfectly in line, it'll

1705
01:09:10,600 --> 01:09:12,720
just kill all your momentum.

1706
01:09:12,720 --> 01:09:17,120
Like a lot of like annoying things can happen that are like frustrating.

1707
01:09:17,120 --> 01:09:18,800
So I'm hoping that stuff gets ironed out.

1708
01:09:18,800 --> 01:09:22,720
Like it seems like a game that would be cool in VR, but also like would make you terribly

1709
01:09:22,720 --> 01:09:26,160
motion sick with how quick-paced it is.

1710
01:09:26,160 --> 01:09:27,160
Yeah, cool.

1711
01:09:27,160 --> 01:09:29,560
Yeah, we love a lady protagonist.

1712
01:09:29,560 --> 01:09:30,560
Mm-hmm.

1713
01:09:30,560 --> 01:09:33,120
Oh, good recommendation.

1714
01:09:33,120 --> 01:09:35,120
I am recommending anime.

1715
01:09:35,120 --> 01:09:39,280
I don't know what brought it to my mind.

1716
01:09:39,280 --> 01:09:43,040
I don't know what it was because it's like a super random one that I don't know if you've

1717
01:09:43,040 --> 01:09:44,040
heard of it.

1718
01:09:44,040 --> 01:09:49,520
Let me pull up the screenshots so I can read off the just it's been years since I watched

1719
01:09:49,520 --> 01:09:50,520
it.

1720
01:09:50,520 --> 01:09:51,520
I really liked it.

1721
01:09:51,520 --> 01:09:52,520
It's gorgeous.

1722
01:09:52,520 --> 01:09:53,520
It's called a.

1723
01:09:53,520 --> 01:09:54,520
No, no.

1724
01:09:54,520 --> 01:09:58,080
I don't know if you've heard of this.

1725
01:09:58,080 --> 01:10:00,360
It's called a children.

1726
01:10:00,360 --> 01:10:05,840
Is it Children of the Whale or Children of the Whales or something like that?

1727
01:10:05,840 --> 01:10:08,840
And I saw a Netflix and watched it.

1728
01:10:08,840 --> 01:10:12,240
I'm going to read kind of the gist of what it is.

1729
01:10:12,240 --> 01:10:19,440
Okay, basically a world covered by oceans of sand, people living in isolation on a mud

1730
01:10:19,440 --> 01:10:25,440
whale, which is an island like ship, a drift.

1731
01:10:25,440 --> 01:10:32,280
People have certain people have these abilities and using those abilities shortens their lifespan.

1732
01:10:32,280 --> 01:10:41,920
So a lot of people pass pretty young and the protagonist boy kind of ends up meeting someone

1733
01:10:41,920 --> 01:10:43,920
new, which is the isolated community.

1734
01:10:43,920 --> 01:10:46,760
So like, you know, they don't get new folks.

1735
01:10:46,760 --> 01:10:50,080
And you know, blah, blah, blah, things happen.

1736
01:10:50,080 --> 01:10:52,240
There's only one season.

1737
01:10:52,240 --> 01:10:53,240
You should look at it.

1738
01:10:53,240 --> 01:10:54,240
It's like gorgeous.

1739
01:10:54,240 --> 01:11:00,000
And I really now I want to water now I want to read the manga like the way it looked.

1740
01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:06,480
The setting of stuff in particular kind of gives me like mortal engine spides like the

1741
01:11:06,480 --> 01:11:14,160
cool anime, pretty anime, how's dove has some was on Netflix when upon once upon a time,

1742
01:11:14,160 --> 01:11:17,440
not sure on status of where you can watch it at this point in time.

1743
01:11:17,440 --> 01:11:24,440
But yeah, just kind of like a fantasy setting, maybe a little bit of a downer in certain

1744
01:11:24,440 --> 01:11:29,800
regards, not not full blown like freaking whatever the show with the kids get eaten

1745
01:11:29,800 --> 01:11:30,800
thing.

1746
01:11:30,800 --> 01:11:31,800
What's that show called?

1747
01:11:31,800 --> 01:11:33,800
You know, the kids get eaten.

1748
01:11:33,800 --> 01:11:39,440
Yeah, it was the team land, neverland, neverland promise, neverland.

1749
01:11:39,440 --> 01:11:40,440
Yeah, that.

1750
01:11:40,440 --> 01:11:42,800
Yeah, bomber ass show.

1751
01:11:42,800 --> 01:11:43,800
That show is cool.

1752
01:11:43,800 --> 01:11:47,480
Not a happy show.

1753
01:11:47,480 --> 01:11:48,480
It's a horror show.

1754
01:11:48,480 --> 01:11:49,480
Yeah.

1755
01:11:49,480 --> 01:11:50,480
Yeah, it's bad.

1756
01:11:50,480 --> 01:11:55,800
I don't I guess I didn't realize when I said no, I mean like sad bad.

1757
01:11:55,800 --> 01:11:56,800
Oh, yeah.

1758
01:11:56,800 --> 01:12:02,320
Yeah, but yeah, that's my recommendation.

1759
01:12:02,320 --> 01:12:03,320
Children of the whales.

1760
01:12:03,320 --> 01:12:05,320
Yeah, I liked it.

1761
01:12:05,320 --> 01:12:06,320
It's so pretty.

1762
01:12:06,320 --> 01:12:07,320
Yeah.

1763
01:12:07,320 --> 01:12:11,200
See, that's why I figured it wouldn't be as well known because I haven't ever seen the

1764
01:12:11,200 --> 01:12:13,920
manga on sale either.

1765
01:12:13,920 --> 01:12:14,920
There's a manga.

1766
01:12:14,920 --> 01:12:18,560
But yeah, like all the clothing are really pretty.

1767
01:12:18,560 --> 01:12:20,960
The powers look are animated.

1768
01:12:20,960 --> 01:12:21,960
Cool.

1769
01:12:21,960 --> 01:12:22,960
Yeah, I liked it.

1770
01:12:22,960 --> 01:12:27,640
It was, you know, only one season, so lots of unresolved things, but makes me want to

1771
01:12:27,640 --> 01:12:30,160
watch the or read the manga.

1772
01:12:30,160 --> 01:12:33,840
This one may I just like it because there's one guy in particular who's super pretty.

1773
01:12:33,840 --> 01:12:35,640
I just like looking at.

1774
01:12:35,640 --> 01:12:38,600
Yeah, it looks like this was animated by JC staff.

1775
01:12:38,600 --> 01:12:41,320
They do food wars.

1776
01:12:41,320 --> 01:12:42,320
Oh dear.

1777
01:12:42,320 --> 01:12:43,320
Well, don't it's not.

1778
01:12:43,320 --> 01:12:44,320
I mean, it looks nice.

1779
01:12:44,320 --> 01:12:48,160
I'm just I'm just saying like what else they do that like is in that style like this look

1780
01:12:48,160 --> 01:12:49,160
kind of like that style.

1781
01:12:49,160 --> 01:12:50,160
I don't know.

1782
01:12:50,160 --> 01:12:51,160
Food wars.

1783
01:12:51,160 --> 01:12:53,760
My sister liked it and she's oh my god, Joe, I had to tell you something.

1784
01:12:53,760 --> 01:12:55,000
They also did what?

1785
01:12:55,000 --> 01:12:56,000
Hold on.

1786
01:12:56,000 --> 01:12:57,000
They also did do ten.

1787
01:12:57,000 --> 01:12:58,000
Sorry.

1788
01:12:58,000 --> 01:12:59,000
Go ahead.

1789
01:12:59,000 --> 01:13:04,000
I was going to say I have a co-worker and she also said that she likes dialing in the

1790
01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:05,000
Franks.

1791
01:13:05,000 --> 01:13:07,840
So maybe for some reason it's just popular with girls.

1792
01:13:07,840 --> 01:13:09,880
I don't know why, which is weird.

1793
01:13:09,880 --> 01:13:11,560
You're like going to talk it up to a player.

1794
01:13:11,560 --> 01:13:14,720
We're going to have to watch it as like a bonus and I'm going to have to watch darling in

1795
01:13:14,720 --> 01:13:15,720
the.

1796
01:13:15,720 --> 01:13:16,720
It's fine.

1797
01:13:16,720 --> 01:13:17,720
It's fine.

1798
01:13:17,720 --> 01:13:18,720
I don't know.

1799
01:13:18,720 --> 01:13:20,720
I think I just did you look at how the robot.

1800
01:13:20,720 --> 01:13:21,720
I know.

1801
01:13:21,720 --> 01:13:22,720
I know.

1802
01:13:22,720 --> 01:13:23,720
I know.

1803
01:13:23,720 --> 01:13:24,720
I know.

1804
01:13:24,720 --> 01:13:25,720
What's your name?

1805
01:13:25,720 --> 01:13:26,720
Zero.

1806
01:13:26,720 --> 01:13:27,720
Zero.

1807
01:13:27,720 --> 01:13:28,720
Two.

1808
01:13:28,720 --> 01:13:29,720
Yeah.

1809
01:13:29,720 --> 01:13:32,200
She's like a cool character design.

1810
01:13:32,200 --> 01:13:33,200
She's like pink.

1811
01:13:33,200 --> 01:13:34,200
It's fun.

1812
01:13:34,200 --> 01:13:37,240
She's a popular cosplay option because you just buy a little horse.

1813
01:13:37,240 --> 01:13:38,240
It's a great spotty suit.

1814
01:13:38,240 --> 01:13:39,240
Cool.

1815
01:13:39,240 --> 01:13:44,760
Well, that's our recommendations and you should write us on your podcast platform of choice.

1816
01:13:44,760 --> 01:13:46,040
Get us five stars.

1817
01:13:46,040 --> 01:13:51,800
We need more ratings to attract more listeners for a show that people can actually watch.

1818
01:13:51,800 --> 01:13:52,800
Pretty please.

1819
01:13:52,800 --> 01:13:53,800
Do it.

1820
01:13:53,800 --> 01:13:54,800
Yep.

1821
01:13:54,800 --> 01:13:55,800
You haven't done it.

1822
01:13:55,800 --> 01:13:56,800
Just take the time to do it.

1823
01:13:56,800 --> 01:13:57,800
We know who you are.

1824
01:13:57,800 --> 01:13:58,800
I do.

1825
01:13:58,800 --> 01:13:59,800
If you're selling it.

1826
01:13:59,800 --> 01:14:00,800
It's easy to forget.

1827
01:14:00,800 --> 01:14:01,800
It has it.

1828
01:14:01,800 --> 01:14:02,800
You know, yeah.

1829
01:14:02,800 --> 01:14:03,800
If you leave a comment, I will read it.

1830
01:14:03,800 --> 01:14:04,800
I knew the comments.

1831
01:14:04,800 --> 01:14:07,520
So just let you know that can happen.

1832
01:14:07,520 --> 01:14:08,520
Yeah.

1833
01:14:08,520 --> 01:14:09,520
And that's it.

1834
01:14:09,520 --> 01:14:11,920
You know, the best way of spreading things is word of mouth.

1835
01:14:11,920 --> 01:14:16,240
So if you've got any friends that like, keep it easy today, okay, and like want to re-watch

1836
01:14:16,240 --> 01:14:20,000
it for the new season, point them in our direction.

1837
01:14:20,000 --> 01:14:25,400
By the time we finish our run of the first two seasons, the third season should about

1838
01:14:25,400 --> 01:14:26,400
to be coming out.

1839
01:14:26,400 --> 01:14:28,440
So we can actually follow it along.

1840
01:14:28,440 --> 01:14:29,920
So that should be pretty fun.

1841
01:14:29,920 --> 01:14:33,400
So if they're looking to do a re-watch, we have tried to pace it out as best we could

1842
01:14:33,400 --> 01:14:38,800
with the announcement, which they just basically said it's coming out in a month, like a certain

1843
01:14:38,800 --> 01:14:39,800
month.

1844
01:14:39,800 --> 01:14:40,800
Yeah.

1845
01:14:40,800 --> 01:14:42,800
No specific date, which means like, we're trying.

1846
01:14:42,800 --> 01:14:45,360
We're doing the best we can.

1847
01:14:45,360 --> 01:14:49,360
So ideally if they started it in that first day, we would be able to hit it.

1848
01:14:49,360 --> 01:14:53,680
Or you want to wait in case they don't drop it all at once and you can just get caught

1849
01:14:53,680 --> 01:14:54,680
up.

1850
01:14:54,680 --> 01:14:58,080
And then by the time we get to it, you'll have a few episodes to binge.

1851
01:14:58,080 --> 01:14:59,560
But yes, I think you should watch it.

1852
01:14:59,560 --> 01:15:01,560
I think watching it a couple of weeks is better.

1853
01:15:01,560 --> 01:15:02,560
Yeah, that's true.

1854
01:15:02,560 --> 01:15:08,600
I was going to say, I watched season three of Bridgerton part one came out, which is

1855
01:15:08,600 --> 01:15:12,520
just four episodes and I had to wait another month for part two to come out, which I think

1856
01:15:12,520 --> 01:15:14,080
they do stranger things as well.

1857
01:15:14,080 --> 01:15:17,520
But either give me it all or give me it one at a time.

1858
01:15:17,520 --> 01:15:18,960
I am against binging things.

1859
01:15:18,960 --> 01:15:20,840
I think binging things like sucks.

1860
01:15:20,840 --> 01:15:23,520
I feel like everything I've ever binged, I've forgotten immediately.

1861
01:15:23,520 --> 01:15:25,240
So it's like, why don't I even watch that?

1862
01:15:25,240 --> 01:15:27,240
It's also exciting in the moment.

1863
01:15:27,240 --> 01:15:29,720
Like, oh, I can just watch it all.

1864
01:15:29,720 --> 01:15:31,520
But yeah, I like giving stuff out.

1865
01:15:31,520 --> 01:15:32,800
It lets you think about things.

1866
01:15:32,800 --> 01:15:37,240
You know, I feel like we can only are able to talk about this show and the last show

1867
01:15:37,240 --> 01:15:42,080
because we have some time to like think about our thoughts on these things.

1868
01:15:42,080 --> 01:15:48,000
Each episode gets more, you know, more attention as it deserves than if it's been changed.

1869
01:15:48,000 --> 01:15:49,800
Just think of it as a whole.

1870
01:15:49,800 --> 01:15:53,240
And then the internet can get all hyped together.

1871
01:15:53,240 --> 01:15:57,480
But back to what you're saying of, you know, spreading word of mouth.

1872
01:15:57,480 --> 01:16:01,760
It's not always good because as we learn, don't spread rumors.

1873
01:16:01,760 --> 01:16:03,800
Uh, those are bad.

1874
01:16:03,800 --> 01:16:04,800
Don't do that.

1875
01:16:04,800 --> 01:16:07,400
Don't spread rumors unless they're funny.

1876
01:16:07,400 --> 01:16:08,400
Then you can spread them.

1877
01:16:08,400 --> 01:16:14,240
I think saying that you're high school, you know, an old man is pretty funny.

1878
01:16:14,240 --> 01:16:17,680
Ion is pimping out her class.

1879
01:16:17,680 --> 01:16:23,080
Ion is escalation to her being like, oh, she's like a nymphomaniac.

1880
01:16:23,080 --> 01:16:25,040
She just like likes to.

1881
01:16:25,040 --> 01:16:26,040
She likes to.

1882
01:16:26,040 --> 01:16:27,040
Yeah.

1883
01:16:27,040 --> 01:16:30,160
And stop these guys to escalate to.

1884
01:16:30,160 --> 01:16:31,160
Yeah.

1885
01:16:31,160 --> 01:16:34,000
Actually, she's like running a side business and she's like pimping out other people in

1886
01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:35,000
our class.

1887
01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:36,000
Why?

1888
01:16:36,000 --> 01:16:37,000
What?

1889
01:16:37,000 --> 01:16:42,640
Oh man, whoever started this rumors has a wild imagination.

1890
01:16:42,640 --> 01:16:45,080
I do like the idea that like all this rumors are catching on.

1891
01:16:45,080 --> 01:16:49,880
What if I just escalated it to absurd levels that nobody could possibly believe?

1892
01:16:49,880 --> 01:16:50,880
Uh huh.

1893
01:16:50,880 --> 01:16:51,880
Yeah.

1894
01:16:51,880 --> 01:16:52,880
Endgame.

1895
01:16:52,880 --> 01:16:56,560
Uh, remember, uh, labels are supposed to be descriptive, not prescriptive.

1896
01:16:56,560 --> 01:16:57,560
Yeah.

1897
01:16:57,560 --> 01:16:59,840
Don't get too caught up in the language, folks.

1898
01:16:59,840 --> 01:17:00,840
Yeah.

1899
01:17:00,840 --> 01:17:04,560
If you're, if you're feeding somebody food at lunch, you're probably friends with them.

1900
01:17:04,560 --> 01:17:06,560
You don't need to make a big deal about it.

1901
01:17:06,560 --> 01:17:07,560
Unless the food's poisoned.

1902
01:17:07,560 --> 01:17:10,760
And then they just think you're friends, but you're not friends.

1903
01:17:10,760 --> 01:17:14,160
If somebody tells you that they don't like you, let them finish their sentence.

1904
01:17:14,160 --> 01:17:15,160
Yeah.

1905
01:17:15,160 --> 01:17:16,800
At least find out why they don't like you.

1906
01:17:16,800 --> 01:17:19,600
Then you can folly with your own diss.

1907
01:17:19,600 --> 01:17:20,600
Yay.

1908
01:17:20,600 --> 01:17:21,600
Okay.

1909
01:17:21,600 --> 01:17:25,920
Also, if you love somebody, don't, don't phrase it as an I don't like you.

1910
01:17:25,920 --> 01:17:26,920
I love you.

1911
01:17:26,920 --> 01:17:28,920
Just say the love thing first.

1912
01:17:28,920 --> 01:17:29,920
Yep.

1913
01:17:29,920 --> 01:17:30,920
That's true.

1914
01:17:30,920 --> 01:17:31,920
Did it.

1915
01:17:31,920 --> 01:17:32,920
Episode two.

1916
01:17:32,920 --> 01:17:33,920
Now I can finally go take my nap.

1917
01:17:33,920 --> 01:17:34,920
Yay.

1918
01:17:34,920 --> 01:17:35,920
Uh huh.

1919
01:17:35,920 --> 01:17:36,920
Yay.

1920
01:17:36,920 --> 01:17:37,920
You're gonna just look the evening.

1921
01:17:37,920 --> 01:17:38,920
You're just gonna go to sleep.

1922
01:17:38,920 --> 01:17:39,920
Yeah.

1923
01:17:39,920 --> 01:17:41,920
Well, no, I will wake up probably at nine.

1924
01:17:41,920 --> 01:17:44,920
Uh, and then be up till two would be my guess.

1925
01:17:44,920 --> 01:17:45,920
Okay.

1926
01:17:45,920 --> 01:17:46,920
I know myself well.

1927
01:17:46,920 --> 01:17:48,920
Uh, play more forbidden west.

1928
01:17:48,920 --> 01:17:49,920
Um, okay.

1929
01:17:49,920 --> 01:17:51,920
Uh, that's all folks.

1930
01:17:51,920 --> 01:17:53,920
Thanks for joining us.

1931
01:17:53,920 --> 01:17:57,920
See you next time for episodes, uh, seven through.

1932
01:17:57,920 --> 01:17:59,920
Seven eight nine.

1933
01:17:59,920 --> 01:18:02,920
We could count seven through nine, not 10.

1934
01:18:02,920 --> 01:18:03,920
Bye.

1935
01:18:03,920 --> 01:18:04,920
Thanks for listening.

1936
01:18:04,920 --> 01:18:05,920
Bye.

1937
01:18:05,920 --> 01:18:06,920
Wait, what?

1938
01:18:06,920 --> 01:18:24,920
Oh, I'm sleeping.

1939
01:18:24,920 --> 01:18:25,920
I'm tired.

1940
01:18:25,920 --> 01:18:26,920
Why are you tired?

1941
01:18:26,920 --> 01:18:27,920
What were you doing?

1942
01:18:27,920 --> 01:18:28,920
I don't know.

1943
01:18:28,920 --> 01:18:29,920
I had, I walked outside.

1944
01:18:29,920 --> 01:18:30,920
It was horrible.

1945
01:18:30,920 --> 01:18:37,920
This is just a smile.
