1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:19,600
Happy October, Shojo listeners. It's your girl, Sarah and your boy, Joe, here to tell

2
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:27,160
you all about Skit Beat and our thoughts and feelings. And just talk about fun stuff in

3
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:34,560
general. You know what? Look, I'm going to switch it up. Listen up, people. We always

4
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:40,960
do the right interview at the end of the episode. But you guys aren't doing this. I should put

5
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:46,240
it in the beginning, right? Force you to listen. You didn't tell me that we were doing this.

6
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:51,880
No, I didn't. Is that fine? Is it fine? I mean, I think it's kind of if this is like

7
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:57,480
the first step. Okay. If for some reason somebody is listening to the Skit Beat episodes 16 through

8
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,800
18. That's their first experience of the first thing they hear is like, you should rate us

9
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,920
as like, well, they don't know what we do. What do we do? Say, well, what Looney Tick

10
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:10,440
is starting at those episodes, but it's a good question. But just to remind your people

11
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:21,720
that we want those. Okay. But we'll try to guilt you guilt trip you more later for now.

12
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:27,600
Joe is going to tell us all about his exciting life. Wait, what do we do on this podcast,

13
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:37,720
Sarah? Oh, fuck. Okay. Don't listen to this first episode. Turn it off right now. Okay.

14
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:45,800
So Joe podcast is about show Joe the anime genre that is typically intended for young

15
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:54,360
girls and was, you know, hit its peak in the 90s and early 2000s. And the episode or the

16
00:01:54,360 --> 00:02:01,800
show we're currently covering Skit Beat is more like of a specific thing acting, whereas

17
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:08,760
a lot of them typically are school life based. But yeah, well, we already cut last series

18
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:13,560
we covers came in each of those days. So that was more of that typical school life,

19
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:21,080
the romance deal. So we're going to try and like keep it keep it fresh with varying types

20
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:27,320
of show Joe. So we're wrapping up Skit Beat soon and we'll see what we cover next. Is

21
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:33,960
that good? Yeah, that's good. I mean, you didn't talk about me. Oh, well, I talked about the

22
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:39,160
podcast. I know, but it's like, why is it called show Joe? Because I haven't seen it.

23
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:46,040
Okay. And you have Joe here. Oh, right. Yes. I'm a girl. So obviously I watched the

24
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:51,640
girly shows as a kid and Joe only started watching stuff on to Nami and they did not

25
00:02:51,640 --> 00:02:58,360
play girly stuff there. So he is not very familiar with the genre. And so I'm showing Joe show Joe

26
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:07,000
get it? There you go. Show Joe. We did it. Maybe I should just make a good one. I should

27
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:12,440
just make like a good intro and then just have that play every time. So I don't keep

28
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:17,080
forgetting. I think I'm going to do it every time. It's good. I think it's fun to have to redo it

29
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:22,280
every time. Yeah. This is a people that people don't come here for our automated messages.

30
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:26,600
No, people come here to listen to what unique thing we have to say every week.

31
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:33,800
I know. I feel like you're the one bringing the interesting things to the table. I'm just like,

32
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:39,560
I took a bunch of naps and that's about it. You need to start going crazy. That's what I'm saying.

33
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:47,000
You need to start just like doing some wild stuff. I make some like weird drink and describe it.

34
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:55,560
No. Mix together hot chocolate and like Pepsi and tell me how it is. Ew. I don't like carbonated.

35
00:03:55,560 --> 00:04:02,600
I don't drink soda. Groty. Oh my gosh. Ew. I have one exciting update. I guess we could.

36
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:09,000
Yeah. Go for it. Should I go first? Okay. People. This is not real. This is real.

37
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:17,480
It is finally feeling like fall in Texas. It's like actually pleasant outside in the mornings

38
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:23,400
and evenings. Like I just we're not quite, you know, where it's cold throughout the whole day,

39
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:29,000
but we are getting there. And that is exciting because like what Joe's worried about, if you're

40
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:37,800
a first time listener here, I hate the Texas heat, which is almost always so that sucks.

41
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:43,400
So when it is not miserable outside, I get really excited. So much so that I even think,

42
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,240
oh, maybe I'll like go on a hike or something, which is so out of character.

43
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:54,600
But let's see. Normally we catch up on what we've been doing. So wait, that was the whole thing?

44
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:59,160
What? The weather is better? Yeah. It's exciting. I thought you were like leading into something.

45
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:03,160
I think you're like, the weather is better. So I decided to go do this. It's just the weather.

46
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:09,400
I thought about doing something. I considered going outside. Aren't you proud of me?

47
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:15,960
It's not quite there yet. I need to be able to wear a like jacket and not get hot from

48
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:27,400
moving around outside because it's still that. Oh, yeah. Anyways, you can't relate anymore.

49
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:35,560
You have like a lovely cold season going on for you. It's nice. It's like I get to wear pants now.

50
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,800
When you were here, it was all you knew. So you didn't know any better. You grew up in Texas.

51
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:44,840
Yeah. I mean, I visited other places before. It didn't just like it was confined to Texas.

52
00:05:44,840 --> 00:05:50,520
And then I like realized that there are other seasons that exist. Yeah. Oh man.

53
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,600
I feel like a lunatic this episode. I was wrong.

54
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:05,480
Anyways, anyways, things I've been doing. I finished Life is Strange and I crumbled and got the

55
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:11,160
ultimate edition of the next one because then I get to play the first two episodes before release,

56
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:18,440
which I'm doing. I finished the first episode yesterday and was the replay.

57
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:25,320
It was fine. I don't remember having like extreme feelings about anything the first

58
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:29,320
time I played it, but like I freaking hate the character Chloe. She's so annoying.

59
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,280
Dude, she's fine. No, she's a troublemaker. She's your friend who doesn't have fun.

60
00:06:34,280 --> 00:06:43,640
She's ungrateful. She lashes out to everyone. The worst ever. Well, anyways,

61
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:48,920
spoiler alert, if you haven't played Life is Strange and you plan on playing it at the end of

62
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:55,720
the game, you have the decision to either like save her life and basically the town gets destroyed

63
00:06:55,720 --> 00:07:01,640
because you have jacked up the timeline or you sack her. You let her die so that things don't

64
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:07,080
go horribly wrong like that and save the town. I freaking say the town. Bye bye, Chloe. Like

65
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:14,040
I know that's the end of the game. How does the next one start? Like because it has to pick

66
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:20,280
up ending, right? Well, no, there's like you have a conversation and they ask you like, oh,

67
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:27,960
who's that girl in the photo you keep? And you can say we are friends or we were like high school

68
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:33,640
sweethearts. And then you can say and they're like, oh, well, what happened? You either say, oh,

69
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:40,360
we grew apart or we or she died. So there's like kind of you determine for this game what the

70
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:44,120
game is. So it's like the Mass Effect thing kind of where they're like, hey, what happened last

71
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:48,120
game when you tell them and they're like, OK, but like she can't be in it because she could she

72
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:54,760
could be dead, right? Well, I have only played the first chapter, but from what I've seen online,

73
00:07:54,760 --> 00:08:00,920
it's I think she'll she. OK, basically, well, I guess it's a time travel game, so there's no rules.

74
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:07,320
So well, the the gameplay is different. So like the powers don't work exactly the same. So so now

75
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:14,040
I might have to actually live with my choices and not just redo them when I like. It's more like

76
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:24,680
shifting dimensions than the time of the world you're in currently. Interesting. OK. But so far,

77
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:33,160
I like it. I let's see. I mean, the graphics are definitely better. It's a different developer now.

78
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:41,880
So it's like, don't nod was the original developer. And then at some point, I guess Square Enix has

79
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:51,880
this developer called Nine Deck that did Life is Strange, True Colors, and now the double exposure.

80
00:08:51,880 --> 00:09:00,360
And yeah, so I bigger budget, so it definitely looks better. Less cringy because they're not

81
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:08,440
high schoolers. This is like about 10 years after the first game. Yeah. So and I feel like they

82
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:14,280
like all the character interactions feel a lot more organic. Like I could see someone. This is

83
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:22,680
like how someone would act and gesture and. Yeah, facial expressions seem normal. So that's good.

84
00:09:22,680 --> 00:09:29,000
That's good. Yeah. So we'll see how it goes. Hopefully it doesn't make me cry at any point

85
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:36,040
or something. Would hate to feel something. Well, yeah, I don't want to feel feelings.

86
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:41,880
I just want to be like fairly neutral at all times. I don't want to feel super.

87
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:50,120
Why? That's not that fun. I really sacrifice not being super happy than being super sad as a risk.

88
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:55,560
Yeah, but it's a story. It's not, you know, you just sometimes sad stories are nice. It's like,

89
00:09:55,560 --> 00:10:00,680
oh, look at that. No. Oh my God. Also, spoiler alert. Okay, I'm not going to really go into the

90
00:10:00,680 --> 00:10:06,360
details. You're just spoiling everything for season three of Box Machina.

91
00:10:09,560 --> 00:10:16,120
That came out. Maybe cry. Yeah, go ahead. A minute or something. I'm not going to say what happened.

92
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:21,240
I'm just I'm just saying something happened that made me cry quite a bit. It's not really a spoiler.

93
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:26,840
I know. But just in case they're like, oh, no, what happens? Did you like Sarah who has a heart

94
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:35,800
in heart cry? I didn't bother. I definitely like something happened. And then anytime they like

95
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:42,840
refer to the thing that happened, I started crying again. Wow. Oh boy. And you thought it was all like

96
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:50,040
dick jokes and violence, mindless violence. In that you're talking to me or the audience?

97
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,160
I don't know anyone who's watched the show because it kind of gives off that.

98
00:10:53,160 --> 00:11:00,040
I have never thought of you as dick jokes. No, that's the show. Oh, yeah. I don't like that.

99
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:06,280
The show totally is that. Yes. Not what I'm into. But that's like, you know,

100
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:17,160
a part of it they'll have to deal with. But yeah, I guess essentially, I mean, it's like I got one

101
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:25,320
more week and then basically two weeks from now for two and a half weeks, it'll be game on for

102
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:32,040
Dragon Age, Veil Guard. Right. So freaking stoked. So get ready to listen to me talk about that a lot

103
00:11:32,680 --> 00:11:40,040
in future episodes. How about you? Yes. How about you? What have you been doing? I've also been

104
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:46,360
playing some games. I beat Fatal Frame. I beat the PS2 game Fatal Frame one. That sounds kind of

105
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:52,360
2001. It's the one where you take a picture with a camera of ghosts. Just like a strange, but no

106
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:58,520
ghosts. Yeah. I mean, this one is like a camera, first person shooter kind of. I mean, you walk

107
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,800
around. It's like, you know, Silent Hill where you walk around, but then you attack things with

108
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:08,440
the first person camera. Oh, I'm scary. Yeah. It's a scary game. I'm playing scary games for

109
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:13,960
October. I know I saw on the discord. I put in one we could play together. It's only like three

110
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:21,800
bucks on steam. Oh, yeah. I played Fatal Frame one. It was pretty fun. I feel like part of the

111
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:27,080
reason it was pretty fun is that I could save state because of the way I was playing it because

112
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:32,040
that game is extremely unforgivable. You can like save whenever you want as opposed to like when

113
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,320
you save at save points because that game does not have that many save points. And also the

114
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:40,840
boss battles are like extremely unforgiving. Like they're not that hard, but it's just like if you

115
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:45,240
ever mess up, it like takes off half your health and you have like an extremely limited amount of

116
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:51,560
healing items. And so it's just like, it's so punishing. And like the last boss, even like

117
00:12:51,560 --> 00:12:56,920
one shot to you basically. So it's like, okay, well, if you know, if I died during the last boss,

118
00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:00,280
I would have to replay the entire segment before it, which is probably like, you know,

119
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:05,240
five minutes or something. Yeah. And I've had like four times. I would have been 20 minutes if I had

120
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:12,280
to do that. So that stuff is not great, but that's just right. Yeah. Wait, what? Dark souls of the

121
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:17,320
camera as your weapon. No, I mean, it's not, it's not like that precise. You know what I mean? It's

122
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,840
just like a, because the controls are a little janky, right? Because it's like the horror game

123
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:26,440
kind of thing. So like not everything responds perfectly. Okay. I can see that being part of

124
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:32,360
that. But you know, there's some definitely some quality of life stuff that wasn't around in 2001.

125
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:38,360
For sure. That is around now. So I had a good time playing it in, you know, 2024

126
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:43,000
with safe stating and a walkthrough. But if I didn't have those things, it probably would

127
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:47,000
have been pretty difficult, but yeah, well, it's not JRPG. So it's not like it's gonna,

128
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:52,600
it's freaking JRPGs or you have the freaking safe, like interact. Not a lot of games. Like this is,

129
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:59,800
this is also a resident evil. This is also silent hail did this. I mean, this is an Asian

130
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:04,920
company or developers, right? Well, yeah, those are, these are all Japanese games. I love punishing

131
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:11,320
us. I guess. I mean, that's just like a style of game that you can like do. I mean, if they do it

132
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,680
now, I mean, it used to be like that because auto save was not a thing because the hardware wasn't

133
00:14:14,680 --> 00:14:19,000
that good. It wasn't really until later that like things got better at like checkpointing and stuff

134
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:24,680
like that. I guess. But nowadays, if something has a manual save, it's because that is the

135
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:32,600
the like style they're going for whatever, which is why I am not like people are like,

136
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:37,240
oh, are you playing like a refan? Tasma or whatever? What's it called? The like the

137
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:44,600
not persona persona game metaphor? No, I don't know. It's it's got some.

138
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:52,440
I don't know. I like the art style is a little more like, I don't know, like got the

139
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:58,840
or dramatic or something or stylized like persona character, purchase are so clean.

140
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:04,440
But these ones are metaphoric. Fantasio. Right. Metaphor was in the name.

141
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:11,720
Names like that make it feel unapproachable, you know, like for someone. Oh, I've been to it. I

142
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:16,120
love when you just throw some shit on there. We're talking about something in this episode

143
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,560
where it's just like being over the top and I'm like, yeah, that's right. Just throw more words

144
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:25,720
into it. Just make the longest subtitle ever. But yeah, like the Shimigami Tensei games, which is,

145
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:32,280
you know, the yeah, the what persona mainline series that yeah, that Prana's been on is all about

146
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:37,160
like the dungeon crawl. You can only save. It's really punishing. And I think that stuff sucks.

147
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:42,360
Yep. Yeah. I am not a fan of that stuff because I don't care. I don't care about your game being

148
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:47,240
punishing. Like, you know, I play like Dark Souls and Elden Rican stuff because those games are

149
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,760
hard, but they're not punishing, right? Like you die and you like you have to walk. You have to

150
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:55,320
run back for like 30 seconds or something. It's like nothing. And those it's like you die. You

151
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,680
have to replay like 10 minutes of gameplay. And I'm like, I'm just not going to do that after a

152
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:04,280
certain point because I don't care, actually. It's not interesting to me to have to replay a section

153
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:10,760
because you made the wrong choice for a thing. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, I'm playing that. I beat that

154
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:16,840
game. It was pretty fun. I'm also playing all of the Gears of War games again. I'm like, you know,

155
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:21,000
I never played four and five and they also there's also like a tactics game that came out a couple

156
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,520
years ago. So I'm like, I should play through the whole series again. So I played through one

157
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:28,760
on like the ultimate PC edition or whatever. And it's like, okay, yeah, this is kind of like how

158
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:34,360
I remember it. But then I played two and I realized that everything I remember is from Gears of War

159
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,800
two. I don't remember any of the other games. They only remember that one. So now I'm playing

160
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:41,960
three and I'm like, wow, this stuff happened. I don't remember this at all. But that definitely

161
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:47,960
came from an era when like sequels were just like uniformly better than the previous one. You

162
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:51,960
know what I mean? Like it just took the previous thing and like expanded all the stuff you wanted

163
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:55,400
to. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like definitely from an era. Like I also remember that being between

164
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:59,400
like the jump between like Halo one to Halo two to Halo three. You know what I mean? We're just

165
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:03,560
like, oh, this is just like across the board better. Like there's very few things I miss.

166
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:08,920
A time where, you know, like games were still gaining in popularity and technology was

167
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:16,920
drastically improving or is noticeable between generations of things. Because I feel like,

168
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:21,080
I don't know, sequel. Well, I don't know. Assassin's Creed. That's the only one I can think of where

169
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:27,080
it has like current sequels coming out. I don't know. I mean, lots of games of sequels. Yeah,

170
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:31,880
I'm like games that I'm familiar with though. I'm not sure. It's just like not as obvious

171
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,160
that the sequel is going to be better than the original. You know what I mean? Like that's not

172
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:39,640
it. Like they I feel like they used to be a given. And now it's just like, well, you know,

173
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,760
they're going to make some changes and maybe you don't like those changes. Now it's more like a

174
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:46,440
movie where they're going to focus on other things. And maybe we don't like that. The first one was

175
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:51,560
good. So you're worried the second one's going to not hold up. Yeah, I mean, this has never been

176
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:55,240
true in movies, right? Like it's it's you never know if a sequel is going to be as good as the

177
00:17:55,240 --> 00:18:01,400
first one. And most of the time it isn't. Sometimes it is. But for a while, their games were like

178
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,680
that. And now they aren't. And it's just interesting to go back to an era where that was

179
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:09,000
kind of a given and be like, wow, I wonder if I'll play Fatal Frame two and just think it's way

180
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:13,000
better than the first one. That's fun. It's fun replaying games. You haven't played in a long

181
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:19,160
time. Sometimes they hold up. Sometimes they don't. Yep. And video games. Yeah, we love.

182
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:25,000
I don't watch anything. Oh, yeah, I've watched stuff. I don't really know. I haven't like finished

183
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:29,800
any of it. Like, you know, I started watching Space Run Away, Idiion, which is another old mech show.

184
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:37,800
I started watching. You still up to your sputch. Oh, how is that? Someone I met at TwitchCon kept

185
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:43,000
or mentioned that that was good, but I'm like, it looks a little freaky to me. It's not freaky,

186
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:48,840
particularly like it's not scary. You're worried about the new horror, you know,

187
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:54,440
melancholy of Haruhi, Susan Mia is from the description is what I got. That's kind of like

188
00:18:54,440 --> 00:19:00,600
the I have never seen that. So I don't know. But yeah, like it has a good opening. The animation

189
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:07,400
looks pretty good. I'm not so hot on the sex jokes in it. Come on, man. Why? They're not that bad.

190
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:11,720
The first episode is pretty bad. But the after that, like I've only seen the first two episodes.

191
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:21,240
Second episode is totally fine. The like, PC-ness of Western media is not the same in Japan or

192
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:26,920
like there it's like the established rule that like all shown in anime is going to be pervy.

193
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:31,320
And that's what people like about it. So why change? See, I don't think that's true, though.

194
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:35,320
Like I don't think all shown in stuff is pervy. Like attack on Titan is not particularly pervy.

195
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,640
No, that's because that one's just a bummer all around.

196
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:42,920
Yeah. I mean, but like a lot of the newer ones pretty much aren't like the new

197
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:47,880
season of Bleach really isn't at all, particularly. I mean, there's some weird stuff.

198
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:52,920
Well, maybe it's not really pervy. If they haven't, if they don't have any female characters

199
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:59,320
consequential enough to be regularly in the show. I mean, what else is popular that's not

200
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:05,000
super pervy? I feel like Demon Slayer. Demon Slayer wasn't really no.

201
00:20:08,360 --> 00:20:17,000
Fire Force definitely was. Fire Force contain like character dedicated to that role.

202
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:22,200
Combined. Yeah. It's like not pervy except for one character who like in the show in the text of

203
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:26,520
the show is like this sucks and everybody else in the show is like, yeah, it sucks if this happens

204
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:31,720
to you. And then it just keeps happening because the author is a weirdo. Yeah. I don't know how

205
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:37,480
I feel about it. I feel like it sucks. Spy Family doesn't. Yeah. I finished watching the second

206
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:44,280
season and started the movie. Yeah. Yeah. So I feel like it's a really like it's really

207
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:49,080
things have gotten better in that regard for the most part. But then freaking Chainsaw Man,

208
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:53,960
that is like all it is. I could not watch that show from how much of it was pervy.

209
00:20:53,960 --> 00:21:01,160
That's out of control. Chainsaw Man is like that's part of the plot, though. I was like,

210
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:06,360
oh my. It's important to Denji's character that he's like this. I was like clutching my pearls.

211
00:21:06,360 --> 00:21:12,200
I was like, oh my God. Oh wait, over what? Nothing even really happened. I don't know. He's just much

212
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:20,600
more like explicit with his thoughts rather than like it just being implied. I guess. Well, that's

213
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:25,480
because it's not like it's not supposed to be like a titular fan service thing. Like it's not

214
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:29,240
supposed to get the audience going. This is like part of his character. I click. The thing about

215
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:33,080
Chainsaw Man is that him being like a horny teenager is like important to the plot.

216
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:39,400
Which means that the show is going to comment on it and has things to say about it, which I

217
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:43,640
like more than other stuff where there's just fan service and nobody acknowledges it. And I have to

218
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:48,680
be like, well, why is this even here? Like why are why is like perverted stuff happening if we're

219
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:53,400
just going to like not if it's not if we're not commenting on it? You know what I mean? I guess.

220
00:21:53,400 --> 00:22:01,400
Yeah. I mean, as soon as the cute dog was like, damn, what is the point of even watching this?

221
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:08,840
If there's not a cute little chainsaw dog mascot gone immediately. The problem with Chainsaw Man

222
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:12,120
is that I like the stuff that happens later, but we won't get to that for a couple of years.

223
00:22:12,120 --> 00:22:16,440
So I keep having to like try to be like, no, it's it's good. And everybody else I know is like,

224
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:20,360
eh, I don't really care for it. And I'm like, well, you know, eventually we'll get to a part

225
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:26,360
where some stuff happens. That's the coolest shit ever. But it's not going to be for a little bit.

226
00:22:26,360 --> 00:22:28,760
It's definitely not going to be next arc, which I don't particularly like.

227
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:35,400
What do you think of One Punch Man? I saw season three is finally coming or announced or something.

228
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:42,600
I didn't watch season two. I didn't watch it. I don't. I need pretty characters.

229
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:50,360
I like it's fine. I think it's fine. I think the like the joke it has kind of runs this course.

230
00:22:50,360 --> 00:22:53,080
And then at a certain point I'm like, all right, well, I guess we're kind of done here.

231
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:58,360
Yeah, that's true. There's no training montage if he's where the strongest dude ever. No tournament.

232
00:22:58,360 --> 00:23:01,880
Yeah. Nothing like that. But I don't know. I didn't watch season two. People didn't like it

233
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:09,400
because of I guess like the budget was not as polished. So okay, I saw on Instagram or something

234
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:15,960
there's a show called Uzumaki or something. Yes. That's like the first episode was like

235
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:24,120
incredible quality and the plummeted and it surely or people were like, is it intentional or but I

236
00:23:24,120 --> 00:23:31,480
read that like the show was like a lot got cut or like. Yeah, I know that that one got delayed a

237
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:36,600
lot of times. I don't know if I don't know if that's like the quality is back because like what

238
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:41,240
happens is, you know, the first season has like some stuff like the second season has some sequences

239
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:45,000
where like they don't, you know, it's like it looks like kind of like low res things. But that

240
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:50,120
looks also the way that the manga does and like so much of that show is trying to imitate Junji

241
00:23:50,120 --> 00:23:54,360
Ito's style in it, like what it looks like. So it almost kind of works for me even though it's

242
00:23:54,360 --> 00:23:59,560
like, you know, it looks a rougher like it doesn't look as clean. But that is like how it would look

243
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:04,040
on the page when you draw somebody in the distance. So it didn't really bother me. Okay.

244
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:11,560
I don't really know. Yeah, it's a horror. It's a horror. I've never read a horror. I don't think

245
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:18,440
I've ever been into anything. I don't know that manga owns. I own that physically. It's good.

246
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:26,280
I don't know. I guess attack on Titan is slightly in the horror genre. Maybe. Yeah. No, it is

247
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:31,640
definitely like the first several seasons for sure. Only one I've probably watched.

248
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:41,240
Because I feel like anime when it's creepy, it's like creepy like Elfin. Elfin.

249
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:48,520
Elfin Lee. The art Lee. Yeah. Just the like style that they animate the violence in that show gave

250
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:57,000
me the heebie jeebies like creepy. Yeah. There's a lot of like gore violent stuff you can animate

251
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:05,400
pretty well in those. Yeah. But but we are here to cover happy lovey dovey shows. And speaking of

252
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:12,760
pervs, we get to see show in some of these episodes. Yeah. I was thinking that was more of the horror

253
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:24,360
thing. Oh. Well, the horror of we have to hang out. Yeah. Okay. Well, seamless transition. Yep.

254
00:25:24,360 --> 00:25:30,680
Seamless transition. So this week for a voice actor, I tried to look at the voice actor for

255
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:37,080
Yashiro, but this person doesn't do a lot of other stuff. So the voice actor for Yashiro is

256
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:45,960
Masahito Kawanago, who plays the character Gaston in the 1997 version of Berserk.

257
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:52,440
He was one of the guys in the in the mercenary crew. I've never seen Berserk, but I know this.

258
00:25:53,560 --> 00:26:00,520
He's also the helicopter pilot named Mike in Resident Evil 4 in both the 2005 original and

259
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:08,920
the 2024 remake. Okay. So that's fun. He plays a character named Skull in Power Rangers in Space.

260
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:17,320
Oh, no. Oh, no. I've never even heard of that. He plays one of the demons in Inuyasha named Yako.

261
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:24,200
I think if I know that one, it's like in five episodes out of like 100. So you probably wouldn't

262
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:30,360
recognize that. Oh, and really freaking. Yeah. Okay. Inuyasha is long. And then he has like a bunch

263
00:26:30,360 --> 00:26:35,960
of additional voices and things like Watch Dogs 2 in one of the Ronma 1.5 OVA is in Serial

264
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:41,480
Experiments Lane. Okay. So this seems to be like one of his major roles. Gosh, yeah. Well,

265
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:47,800
he's a star to us. He's a star to us. We love Yashiro. He shows up in this episode. He's

266
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:58,120
splendid every time we see him. He gets to be like the one adult. Ren is 20. That is incredibly young.

267
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:08,440
Like not mature age at all in reality. Yeah. He's 20. Yeah. Insane. I mean, yeah. I don't know.

268
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:14,600
Like Kyoko seems to look up to. Yeah. I'm dreading the point where we have to talk about the age gap.

269
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:18,760
We're eventually going to have to talk about the age gap where she is 16 and he is 20.

270
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:24,680
I don't know. What's the age of consent in Japan? It's probably lower than it is here.

271
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:29,240
Guess what? I don't really care what the age of consent is for stuff. I still think the age gap

272
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:33,880
is not the greatest of all time. It's just at that phase in the life. We don't have to talk about that now.

273
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:39,080
Okay. Yeah. This is not that bad if they were older, but it's just that currently she's

274
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:45,560
a delicate flower. Yeah. Well, that's because I mean, age gap isn't about the actual number. It's

275
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:53,800
about like what you, where you are. Power dynamic. Yeah. Yeah. It's not about that. Okay. Well,

276
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:57,560
anyway, we'll talk about that when it becomes relevant, which thankfully is not relevant

277
00:27:58,120 --> 00:28:04,360
exactly at this moment, but we're approaching it. We're building the. We're building up to

278
00:28:04,360 --> 00:28:12,040
me being like, all right. So why is this happening? Okay. Right now we are at skip beat stage 16,

279
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:19,240
which is called dislike versus dislike. Again, we open on Kyoko. The bad, the weird title. Sorry.

280
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,920
The other titles make sense. I feel like for the most part,

281
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:31,960
this one does not make a ton of sense to me. I can think I can talk about what I think it means

282
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:39,320
later once we're done with it. Okay. Sorry. Shutting up. That's okay. We open on Kyoko being

283
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:43,960
crushed by a collapsed Ren. She notices that he has a fever and tries to get up, but she can't

284
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:48,680
push him off of her through the wall. She hears Ren co-star talking loudly and is annoyed that

285
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:53,240
she couldn't remember her lines earlier, leading Ren to getting sicker as like bad to stay in the

286
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:58,120
rain for like retakes of that shoot, which also was the reason why she's trapped in the floor

287
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:03,240
right now. She Kyoko is like, I could remember those lines. How come she couldn't remember

288
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:07,080
those lines? And then she starts reciting them from memory. And upon hearing this,

289
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:13,560
Ren wakes up and then he says his lines like in response back as the OP plays. We got back and

290
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:19,720
Ren gets up and Kyoko thinks that he's still like acting in character. Like he's, he's broken out of

291
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:28,680
his like sort of looking for fatigue to be in character because he, all he knows is work.

292
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:33,240
He starts to walk off and she tells him that he's sick and should take the rest of the day off,

293
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:38,680
but he just gives her a stern look and then leaves. He works the rest of the day. Kyoko comments that

294
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:45,000
he must love acting. The work day ends and Kyoko is missing. Ren gets off of work and finds that

295
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:50,200
Kyoko has like run to the store to buy a bunch of medical stuff. She gives him a cooling pack and

296
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:54,760
makes him some shaved ice to eat, but she does this while they're in a car. So she just, she like

297
00:29:54,760 --> 00:30:02,360
makes shaved ice in a car on the go, which is incredible. Yeah. She also bought a bunch of food

298
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:06,680
that she starts to prepare also in the car. Ren thinks to himself that she really put a lot of

299
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:14,200
effort into this and that this might be her being her true self. It reflects. So that is like,

300
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:20,920
how does she know my throat hurts and I can't swallow? Like, dude, because everybody knows,

301
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:27,000
because everyone's been sick before. It's not special. It's the most like, oh, yes. Ren is not

302
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:33,240
like a human being. He does not know how to be normal at all. Like he could only be like

303
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:37,960
head down in his work or like Mr. Charming man, but as soon as he has to be a regular guy,

304
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:43,480
he's just like, damn, people like know what being sick is like. They didn't just, how do they know?

305
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:51,320
How could they possibly know this? Oh, man. Wild. He reflects on his memory of Koko when they were

306
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:56,280
young. He thought of her as an overly romantic girl, but then remembers that she also gave 110%

307
00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:02,600
on everything. She says that she became his platonic idea of a Japanese girl.

308
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:07,320
Because he's not Japan. And, and, uh,

309
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:13,480
what? Obviously he's like, oh, yeah, I didn't pick up on that. I didn't pick up on that. Okay.

310
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:18,840
This is what Japanese girls like, like he didn't grow up in Japan and was surrounded by Japanese

311
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:27,320
girls. I see. Yeah. That makes sense. We come back to Ren's apartment. He's lying on his enormous

312
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:35,320
bed as Koko changes his eyes back to this bed is huge. He's huge. He needs a big bed. I mean,

313
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:41,080
he's big, but like, yeah, I know, but he's, it's not even like he's like taking up the whole

314
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:48,120
bed. Like the bed goes out for like another one. It's enormous. He says, he says, thank you to her

315
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:53,240
and calls her Koko-chan, which surprises her. She goes back to study, but realizes she's just been

316
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,280
thinking about how Ren called her that instead of actually like doing any work because she's

317
00:31:56,280 --> 00:32:00,360
still trying to pass her entrance exam to get into high school. It's the next morning. Ren feels

318
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:05,000
better. He walks out to Koko in the kitchen making food, but she was also like trying to study at

319
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:10,040
the same time. So she ends up messing up the meal. She hasn't drink this gross vegetable smoothie,

320
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:14,680
and he hates it. We learned that his memory of last night is hazy and Koko is unsure if he remembers

321
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:20,280
calling her Koko-chan. Ren thinks to himself how wrong he's been about Koko this whole time and how

322
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:27,640
she really is acting now, like how he remembered her in the past. We cut to Ren's, what? Sorry,

323
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:32,280
I missed the timing on when you're taking a breath. Yeah, I take a pause after these things.

324
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:40,120
That's what you say stuff. Yeah, sorry. Okay, I'm seeing these episodes in particular,

325
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:47,880
a lot of context is being cut out because he's like, I feel, or he's like, did you dress me like

326
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:56,760
the young girl had to change me into pajamas? Oh, he did say that. And in the manga, she says like,

327
00:32:56,760 --> 00:33:02,040
no, and that flashes to how she got him to get changed. But she just kept saying the lines over

328
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:07,080
and over. So he would wake up and then she'd like act like it was a line and say, get dressed and

329
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:17,160
stuff like that. Using acting to make him do these things. Uh huh. So interesting cut. I do like how

330
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:25,720
this is portraying him as like all he knows is acting. For sure. Okay, so we cut back to Ren's

331
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:30,600
film shoot. Kyoko keeps looking at Ren instead of studying. She gets annoyed and starts to wonder

332
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:36,760
if he hates her or like, does she still hate him or like, what's going on here? And while thinking

333
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:41,160
about this, she does an impression of him with her like doll that she makes. And he catches her

334
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:46,440
doing this impression and he tells her that her impressions pretty good. And she is embarrassed.

335
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:52,360
Ren steps out to read the next script for like the next scene or whatever. And while reading,

336
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:57,240
he thinks more about Kyoko and how she is dedicating her time to him, even though she doesn't like

337
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:02,520
him. Kyoko goes out to find him because she needs to like bring him something. But sees that he's

338
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:06,520
studying his lines, but he can't see her because he's like sitting on like a stairwell. So she's

339
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:11,960
like under the stairwell. He's trying to remember his lines, but he can't because he's sick. Kyoko

340
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:16,760
hears him struggling and figures it might be easier to remember your lines if you have a partner to,

341
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:21,480
you know, hear the responses. So from beneath the stairs he's on, she starts to say the lines.

342
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:26,840
Ren says his lines in response. And then he walks down to see her. He wonders if she's really an

343
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:30,600
amateur who's only been at it for six months. I mean, look at how good she is reading these lines

344
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:35,400
that she memorized. Crazy. Moko is rubbing off on everybody. Everybody can just remember their lines

345
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:40,600
now. So they're doing the, you know, back and forth until eventually Ren breaks from the scene

346
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:44,600
and compliments Kyoko's acting. Kyoko tells him that she's been learning a lot from the acting

347
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:48,280
courses and that it's been really fun. And Ren is surprised and asked if she's learning to,

348
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:53,880
like, aren't you just learning to act to beat show, right? But Kyoko adamantly denies that.

349
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:59,400
He asks why she is and she says that it's an effort to recreate herself independent of the

350
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:04,120
expectations of those around her because she is trying to learn how to become her true self.

351
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:08,760
She comments that Ren probably thinks that's stupid, but she looks up to see Ren smiling

352
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:13,320
genuinely at her. He says that he completely believes her and Kyoko decides that she doesn't

353
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:19,240
hate him anymore. It's that evening. And she's still staying at Ren's place. She falls asleep

354
00:35:19,240 --> 00:35:23,160
while studying and Ren wakes her up, which freaks her out because he's too nice to her now.

355
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:27,400
Ren comments that she should get some sleep since she had to take care of him yesterday.

356
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:32,440
But she says that she still needs to study and he's like, well, why do you need to study so much?

357
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:35,720
It's not like you need to get like a perfect score. Like you could probably pass as is.

358
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:40,840
Kyoko realizes that he's right and she doesn't need to be perfect. She tells him,

359
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:44,360
or no, he tells her to relax and like, you know, go take a bath or something. And she's like,

360
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:47,320
that would be a good idea. But then she remembers that she's in a guy's apartment. So she's like,

361
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:50,520
I can't take a bath in a guy's apartment. And he's like, what, you think I'm gonna like,

362
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:53,720
peek at you or something? Come on. Who do you think you're talking to? And then they like,

363
00:35:53,720 --> 00:35:58,360
go back and forth a little bit as we end the day. It's the next day and Kyoko and Ren are stuck in

364
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:02,280
traffic. Kyoko says they're going to be late, but their taxi driver says he can't do anything about

365
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:06,760
that. Ren floats the idea of taking the bus. But Kyoko is like, dude, you're too famous to be on

366
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:11,880
a public bus. Then she sees a guy riding a bike and gets out of the taxi. She commandeers the bike

367
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:16,520
and tells Ren to get on and Ren thinks that it's a silly plan. But if she can get him there on time,

368
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:20,920
then she will get a hundred point stamp from him as we cut to credits. Nice.

369
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:28,680
Bonding. They bond to this episode. This is a bonding episode. Yeah. They don't hate each other

370
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:38,040
anymore. Right? I guess the dislike versus dislike is they're both kind of at odds with each other

371
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:45,480
for different reasons. And the reasons kind of get addressed or resolved. They actually aren't at

372
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:53,080
odds with each other. It's a misunderstanding, right? Yeah. Ren's weird hang up is that he

373
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:58,040
thinks that she's only doing stuff to get revenge, which like, if he'd ever talked to a normal person,

374
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:04,120
I think he would realize that nobody would actually do that. That's just an excuse.

375
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:11,480
That's just a normal skill set of a human. Yeah. It's weird how much he just kind of takes people

376
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:17,160
at the word. You know what I mean? Well, that's like when we saw him agonizing over the script for

377
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:26,360
that very commonly understood phrase when she was in the bow suit. It was like, how do I know what

378
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:33,240
tune it is? Yeah. It's like so apparent what that means, but he didn't get it. Right. Well, it's

379
00:37:33,240 --> 00:37:37,880
interesting because I assume that a lot of acting has to do with the fact that sometimes characters

380
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:43,560
say not exactly what they mean. And so you have to figure out what they are doing because you want

381
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:48,120
to act the way that they mean, even if it doesn't reflect the dialogue, right? Which is I assume

382
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:53,240
a lot of it. In these episodes, it's always like, hey, what is my character supposed to be thinking

383
00:37:53,240 --> 00:37:57,560
while doing this? Or like, at what point am I supposed to make like internally the decision

384
00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:01,480
to start acting a different way as a character? I guess he's just not that good at like looking at

385
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:05,400
that in real life. I guess he just like separates work from hanging out with people like the real

386
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:11,800
world. Well, all he does is work. Like I don't think he's hanging out with people at all. Yeah, we

387
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:16,920
don't see him like have any friends, huh? No, just Mr. Yoshio. Like he hangs out with Yashiro. He's

388
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:23,880
his manager, but that's like his manager. That doesn't count. And talk shows. He just yeah,

389
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:29,320
when he's not acting, he's like promoting his acting. So he's keeping up the facade of the

390
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:37,720
celebrity and not hiding loose like I need to. Yeah, or even like going to a movie. Like, do you

391
00:38:37,720 --> 00:38:41,560
think he watches the movie? Like, what is he doing? You know what I mean? I'd probably give them a copy,

392
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:46,360
a personal copy before release or something. I mean, he probably has to go to like the screening

393
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:51,800
or whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, premiere. The premiere. Yeah. So I mean, I guess you see that.

394
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,360
But like, you know, what does he do for fun? What does he do outside of this? I don't think he

395
00:38:54,360 --> 00:39:00,760
does anything. No, I don't think so either. This is so sad. I mean, Kyoko at least has Kyoko as a

396
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:07,880
friend now. Yeah. And making cursed dolls and cooking and all. Yeah. Sad. Wild. Right. Sad.

397
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:13,400
But look, they're connecting. They don't hate each other anymore. And all it took was, um,

398
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:20,520
bread needed to be nursed back to health. Oh, okay. One thing they, the subtitles, when he

399
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:26,920
says Kyoko Chan, they say Kyoko dear. I'm like, that's so weird. Just say Kyoko Chan and the

400
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:32,280
subtitles like, they're making it seem like. The localization. I mean, how do you. But like.

401
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:36,440
If this is the first anime you're watching, you're not going to know what the context of it is.

402
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:43,800
Way more than what Chan means, you know, like it's making it seem like he's

403
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:51,080
saying the word dear and not just her name with the honorific. It's so weird. Yeah. But like him

404
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:55,880
saying her name with the honorific is like more like has weight to it in a way that wouldn't,

405
00:39:55,880 --> 00:40:01,160
if it like somebody else said it to her, you know what I mean? I know, but like, it's so weird.

406
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:07,720
I get it. It's hard to localize. It's hard to localize that. Yeah, I guess.

407
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:11,960
Like, how do you communicate that? Like he's being like, um,

408
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:19,320
you know, familiar, but in like a more intimate way than regular familiarity.

409
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:28,200
I don't know. I hate it. Okay. Sorry. They should just know. Watchers should just know

410
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:34,120
exactly what the intention of the line is. Other animes don't do that. They just show the honorific

411
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:37,960
in the subtitles. Yeah, I know. But like, again, this was like localize at a specific time. It

412
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:41,640
depends on what like you think the audience is going to know. Like this is the part of

413
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:44,920
localization that's hard, which is like, you don't know whatever, like what they've watched

414
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:51,560
besides this. I guess. I know. And all the manga I read, you know, you just go to the very back

415
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:59,400
page and explain like things like that. Like it would have, um, terms there,

416
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:04,520
or at least it because the manga has a lot of Japanese references. So she always puts like

417
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:09,640
these notes on like, oh, this is the context of what this means, blah, blah, blah. So, but that

418
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:17,720
doesn't come with an anime. Yeah. TV shows do not have glossaries. Okay. Moving on.

419
00:41:17,720 --> 00:41:24,440
All right. Well, they're friends now, I guess. They're friends. Maybe more. No.

420
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:31,640
Maybe they want to be more. Maybe specifically wants to be more and Kyo-ko doesn't seem to care

421
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:37,960
very much. So stubborn. Neither one would admit it. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Anyway, stage.

422
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:43,320
Stage 17 is called day to fate. We open on Kyo-ko getting ready for school.

423
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:49,320
She tells us that she's been Ren's fill in manager for a while. And also in the meantime,

424
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:53,000
between last episode and this episode, she passed her interest exams. She can go to school now.

425
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:57,560
She bids the boss is farewell as she rides her bike to school. I have a comment about her

426
00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:02,360
in your school uniform. What? It's so basic. Unremarkable. It's like, not that interesting.

427
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:06,920
Yeah. Cause it's like a flat skirt. Does she ride a bike with a skirt? Just gonna be flapping

428
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:11,320
her long of a skirt. He's everywhere. No, I'm saying she's, I mean, like it's gonna be. You

429
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:16,760
sit on it. What do you mean? Well, you sit on the bottom, but if you're pedaling, you're moving

430
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:21,880
your legs and the skirt isn't that short. So if you're moving, people would be getting

431
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:28,920
panty shots when you're pedaling. And with the movement of air, it would, you know,

432
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:34,920
in the front, because it's not like it's a fitted skirt. It's, it's a flared skirt. So it is more

433
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:43,080
valuable to the elements. I mean, I guess so. It's not like that short. I was like,

434
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:49,560
damn, no, it's not like super short. But yeah, it's not a very, what? Cause it's like a celebrities

435
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:52,680
school that you think it'd be super flashy or just more interesting.

436
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:58,360
Well, I don't like the blue bow tie. She's a bow tie and it doesn't match the skirt. And I'm like,

437
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:04,440
they need to do better on this. I like the bow tie. It's not a school life one. So it's not like

438
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:07,720
well, she's constantly, and that's the only thing we're going to see her wearing.

439
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:13,000
Yeah. If it was a different color, if it matched the skirt better, I would like it.

440
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:17,640
It's like a green plaid skirt. I don't remember if there's any blue highlights in it or not.

441
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:22,200
Yeah. But red would probably go better or just black.

442
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:27,640
It's also just like, I don't know. Can you, it's weird to like match a bow tie, which sits pretty

443
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:32,680
high up on your torso to highlights in a skirt, which is pretty low. Cause then you have this

444
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:38,520
entire like void white space where your blouse is. I don't know why I'm talking about this,

445
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:41,640
but it's too much space. There needs to be something else in there, you know?

446
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:47,160
Well, it's, it's like, what is the winter? What does the winter one look like? Cause maybe the

447
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:52,600
coat at least is cute. The blazer. I don't know. Oh yeah. It probably works with the blazer, maybe.

448
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:57,960
We never like learned what seasons it is in the show. Like what time of year it is necessarily,

449
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:02,600
do we? I don't know. I guess it also takes place over like a shockingly short period of

450
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:08,600
time. It's only been six months. Yeah. I feel like, no, cause she referenced like

451
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:16,840
in the commercial audition, like, oh, back in February, I like lost all my happiness or something.

452
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:21,960
So February is when it happened. It's been six months. Then it's like August.

453
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:24,520
Okay. That would make it warm there.

454
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:30,520
Start being, yeah, I'm not really paying attention to like, is Ren wearing a coat? Maybe I should

455
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:35,640
be. I should be paying attention to Ren's outfits. Yeah. I know some of them are like,

456
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:42,280
oh, that's too many buttons, dude. Like he wears a lot of layers. My God. It's hot. You gotta be

457
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:47,480
hot, dude. Yeah. He's always in pants and dress shoes. And then sometimes wearing a hat hat makes

458
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:53,320
it hotter. But I guess he's like trying to shield his identity. So he's not harassed constantly.

459
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:57,320
I mean, I guess he apparently never thinks about it though, because he's like, why don't we just

460
00:44:57,320 --> 00:45:02,600
take the box? No, yeah. I mean, even if they, okay, yep, no.

461
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:09,000
She's excited to go to school, even though she says her school is kind of abnormal and we get a

462
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:14,600
scene where her, where she's like in her fine arts class and everybody's talking about how they have

463
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:23,560
to take time off to go do like for issues and stuff. So, you know, I guess she went to like a

464
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:28,760
magnet school for like specifically these types of show biz kids. I don't know. Yeah. Just because

465
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:34,040
they all have stuff going on. They need flexible schedules. Yeah. Which I guess makes sense.

466
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:40,120
Let's see. She realizes that she needs to go to work after school. So she heads right on over.

467
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:44,200
On her way, she sees the soda commercial play on one of those like big billboards on the side of

468
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:49,080
buildings. And some random girls comment that Moko is very talented, but they can take or

469
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:54,840
they can figure leave Koko. Koko is distraught, but carries on anyway. She gets to Ella Me.

470
00:45:55,880 --> 00:46:00,200
Yeah, no, I mean, she looked fine. Yeah, she looked happy. But they don't like her.

471
00:46:01,240 --> 00:46:07,080
She's too serious. It's the hair color girl. It was a bad choice. It's too orange. I like it.

472
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:14,840
And they're her too. It's light brown. It is. Oranges can be. It matches her eyes at least, I guess.

473
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:19,160
Yeah, she could definitely be like, I don't know. She could show up on like the Muppets or something.

474
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:26,360
You know what I mean? Like she's got that kind of like big flashy profile with orange hair.

475
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:33,720
Yeah, yeah, that's true. Like her natural setting is to be very like formal and, you know,

476
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:39,320
traditional interactions, but then she can be so extreme at the same time.

477
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:43,960
Yeah, I mean, it's good. Like, you know, I would always recognize her if I saw her or something

478
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:48,600
and she had that hair. She should not always put her as her stage name.

479
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:53,400
She picked a different name. She probably doesn't get to pick, right? Like it's probably

480
00:46:54,200 --> 00:47:00,200
like she probably isn't big enough to have a stage name yet. I guess we'll we'll see it.

481
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:04,600
Because like commercials don't have like credit sequences. You know what I mean? No, they don't.

482
00:47:05,720 --> 00:47:11,560
So she doesn't have like a persona yet. Yeah. Let's see here. She gets to Ella Me and Wren

483
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:15,560
calls her. He teases her for walking around so boldly, even though she's a TV star now,

484
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:19,480
what with the commercial and everything. She looks up to see him standing a floor above her.

485
00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:24,520
She goes to see him. He's with Yashiro. Who's back and not was he sick or something? I don't know.

486
00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:32,120
He's fine now. He tells Mr. Or Wren tells her that Mr. Soara gave him her phone number and he asks

487
00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:36,120
why she's not wearing her love me uniform. And she says that she came straight away from school.

488
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:41,480
Wren sees her in her school outfit and says that's good because he wants to see her in the outfit

489
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:47,640
and like it really suits her, which embarrasses both Kyo-go and Yashiro, who's like, yeah,

490
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:52,680
that's why are you complimenting her outfit? Well, because he's such he's like the most

491
00:47:53,720 --> 00:47:58,840
desirable man in Japan or whatever and he's just throwing. So, you know, him saying anything

492
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:04,920
complimentary and make most girls slune. And even if you're a grown ass man is embarrassed.

493
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:09,480
This whole like all of this stuff that's happening is so funny from Yashiro's perspective,

494
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:14,520
because it's like, oh, you were like pinning her to the wall near the girl's bathroom. Yeah,

495
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:20,600
a couple of weeks ago. Now you're like way too flirtally commenting on her outfit. Like what's

496
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:27,560
going on? Yeah, it's very good. Kyo-go thanks him for taking the pressure off of her last night.

497
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:33,960
And Yashiro wonders why these two are suddenly on such good terms. Wren says he wanted to thank

498
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:37,160
her for being his fill in manager. And then he gives her a hundred point stamp.

499
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:42,360
Kyo-go gets bashful saying she didn't really set out to do anything to make her thank her. And

500
00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:46,440
Yashiro is like, ah, you're being humble like no manager would nurse their client back to health.

501
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:50,760
That's like totally not of the job description. And Kyo-go is like, wait, really? I thought it

502
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:54,200
wasn't the job description. And then she explains that she was doing all that stuff because if he

503
00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:59,160
missed work, that would like be her failing her job, right? Wren hears this and is displeased.

504
00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:03,800
He takes or he hands her the stamp slate back and she sees that in addition to the hundred

505
00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:09,400
point stamp, he has taken off 10 points, giving her a total of 90 points. Kyo-go is confused and

506
00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:15,480
says that, or he says that he used the wrong stamp. Oops. Elsewhere in the talent section,

507
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:20,920
Mr. Sawar gets a call from Queen Records about wanting to shoot a promotional video for Shofua.

508
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:27,800
We cut to show playing Kyo-go's soda commercial on like a recorded TV, like he recorded it.

509
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:33,640
Show asks his manager if she knows who the actress is and she says her name is supposed to be Kyo-go.

510
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:40,840
Show wonders that if this Kyo-go is the same as his Kyo-go, but he hasn't seen

511
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:46,440
Kyo-go since she changed her hair. So he can't be sure. But he thinks it probably is. Although he

512
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:51,240
has seen her at the gas station. He didn't know it. No, he didn't know it though.

513
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:56,040
We cut to Mr. Sawara telling Kyo-go that another producer wants to work with her on

514
00:49:56,040 --> 00:50:02,280
Show's promotion. Kyo-go flat out refuses and Sawara is confused because she wants to meet him,

515
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:06,680
right? He thinks that she wants to do that. But she refuses again and storms off.

516
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:10,680
She's venting to herself in the Love Me locker room when a dazed moco comes in.

517
00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:14,920
She sits down and tells Kyo-go that she landed a gig in a made-for-TV drama because the director

518
00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:19,080
saw her commercial. She commented that the director actually dropped the other actress that was slated

519
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:24,440
for the part. But she says that, and she feels kind of bad, but she says that she wants to be a

520
00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:28,040
full-time actress. So I guess it's okay if she has to use others as a stepping stone until I get

521
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:31,560
there, which it feels a little harsh. I mean, it's not really your fault that that happened.

522
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:35,240
She doesn't say she feels bad at all. She's like, I don't feel guilty one bit.

523
00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:39,800
Well, she says like, I feel a little bad, but I guess if I want this, I don't feel guilty.

524
00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:46,760
Yeah, I know. Kyo-go calls it cut throat. I'm like, okay. It's a weird thing to say that because

525
00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:51,320
it's like, it's definitely not your fault at all. Like somebody else made that decision.

526
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:55,800
But whatever, Kyo-go hears this and thinks that show is using her as a stepping stone and decides

527
00:50:55,800 --> 00:51:00,040
that she isn't going to take that lying down. She decides to do the promo and use him as a stepping

528
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:06,680
stone for her career. She tells Mr. Sawara that she'll do the shoot, and he's like, ah, so she

529
00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:10,920
did want to meet him after all. Cool. Elsewhere, Yashiro tells Ren that Kyo-go got a new gig,

530
00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:14,840
apparently, and Ren's like, oh yeah, I didn't hear about that. And Yashiro's confused. Isn't like,

531
00:51:14,840 --> 00:51:19,640
hey, didn't you two get close recently? Like, you don't talk regularly? And Ren's like, not really.

532
00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:23,720
Yashiro's like, come on, man, I know that you're like, nice to her now. You don't have to like,

533
00:51:23,720 --> 00:51:29,240
try to fool me. But Ren is incredulous. Yashiro tells him he needs to ask him about something later,

534
00:51:29,240 --> 00:51:34,760
and then on the plane, Ren hopes that Kyo-go doesn't live too much of her life motivated by

535
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:39,640
revenge. He thinks it would be best that she didn't see show for a while so she can forget all about

536
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:45,000
him. Cut to, Kyo-go going to show his company with an aura of malice. They make her wait in

537
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:49,960
a conference room for so long that she gets pissed and decides to step out. But as she's about to go

538
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:55,000
for the door, it opens right in front of her. And we see none other than Shofu himself. There he is.

539
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:59,000
She definitely saw him immediately.

540
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:03,000
It's a good cut.

541
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:05,000
Shit.

542
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:09,000
Yeah, it's a good cut because those are like, those two scenes are interspersed where like,

543
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:13,000
Ren is like, I hope she doesn't see him so she can forget about him. And then she opens the door

544
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:19,000
and he's right there. We get a cut of Kyo-go's inner counsel of Kyo-go Ghost slash demons that control her thoughts.

545
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:27,000
They decide that the best course of action is to pretend to be someone else so he won't cancel the shoot because he's like, well, if he figures out it's like the old me,

546
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:36,000
he'll probably just like cancel it and it'll ruin my opportunity to get a leg up. She ekes out a smile and gives him a hard playful slap.

547
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:42,000
She asks to shake his hand and show his shocks because Kyo-go would never act like that. Kyo-go keeps up an overly expressive

548
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:47,000
girly persona as show begins to doubt if this Kyo-go is the same as the one he knew.

549
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:51,000
She starts aggressively flirting with him, but mostly just kind of like so she could shove him down.

550
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:56,000
She's annoyed that she has to do this. She's like, I'm just acting like one of the girls in my class.

551
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:59,000
Yeah, she calls him by the name Bu-Wichi.

552
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:04,000
Yes. She's like, God, it sucks having to do this with this guy.

553
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:12,000
Show's producer shows up and we learn that he calls her Milky, which is a disgusting nickname.

554
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:14,000
I hate show.

555
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:17,000
It's disgusting.

556
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:22,000
It's terrible. Also because she has huge boobs.

557
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:23,000
Yeah.

558
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:26,000
What did they say? F-Hop? That's pretty big, I guess.

559
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:32,000
Yeah, she apologizes to Kyo-go for the weight and we learn that her name is Haruki Asami.

560
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:38,000
Kyo-go was shocked to learn that show's producer has been a woman this whole time because she's like,

561
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:45,000
Oh, I always looked up the stuff like when he was, you know, doing things and I always assumed it was a guy because I guess the name Asami is masculine.

562
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:55,000
She looks her up and down and notices that she's a total babe with an F-sized cut or the F-cup size and great legs and comments that she is like the perfect woman.

563
00:53:55,000 --> 00:54:04,000
Show tells Asami that he brought Kyo-go and Asami starts to fill her in and then he, or like, you know, they can fill her in essentially.

564
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:07,000
And then he starts like pretty aggressively flirting with Asami.

565
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:13,000
Kyo-go is like, what the hell is happening as he puts his hands on her hips and tries to peck her on the cheek, but she like pushes him away.

566
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:18,000
Yeah, because she's like, what happened to your manager? Like, weren't you seeing her?

567
00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:24,000
Yeah, yeah. It took me a while to remember that like, oh, this isn't the same person as the manager. This is a different person.

568
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:28,000
This is wild. You're like a whole ass adult, Asami. What are you doing?

569
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:37,000
I think, okay. I think it's just, he's like a petulant child who wants to hit on everyone.

570
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:42,000
So they just tolerate him because, you know, they don't have him a bad move when he has to like go and perform and stuff.

571
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:47,000
I don't think they're like actually intimate with him. I feel like they're just humoring him.

572
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:51,000
No, I mean, she pushes him away. It's one of two horrifying things, right?

573
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:52,000
Yeah.

574
00:54:52,000 --> 00:55:00,000
Number one, it's either this where it's just like, oh, you know, he's just like a harmless little kid, like whatever, we'll just like go along with it.

575
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:06,000
It's kind of cute, you know, that kind of thing because I don't seem mad about it, right?

576
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:16,000
Which is bad for obvious reasons. The alternative is that this is being a woman in the entertainment industry just means you get constantly harassed by every guy.

577
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:27,000
So you just have to put up with this shit all the time. And so you're just so like numb to it now that like, yeah, I guess, I guess the like Starwood put your hand, his hand on your hip.

578
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:30,000
And I guess you just have to grin and bear it, which is terrible.

579
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:38,000
I have a correction. Okay, I just grabbed the manga volume that this happens in. So we're at volume seven.

580
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:47,000
He calls her miruki as the nickname. And I think her rookie is the first name that sounds like a man.

581
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:54,000
And I don't know why you changed it to that, but it's not milky in the freaking manga.

582
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:59,000
What's wrong with these people? I feel like he is how you would say milky, though.

583
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:00,000
Is it?

584
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:02,000
Oh, let me see.

585
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:12,000
So not or let's let's go look. Oh, dear. Believe it or not, this is not a thing that people say very often.

586
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:14,000
What is it?

587
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:20,000
Okay, so you say milky way as Miruki way.

588
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:24,000
Oh, yeah. It's the same. It's phonetically the same. Okay.

589
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:32,000
Which does definitely make it seems like he's talking about her boobs because f f cup size, which like, holy shit.

590
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:37,000
You got special order those babies. You can't go to the Victoria's Secret and get them.

591
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:43,000
Yeah, she's got to be doing some some lats, lat exercises to get that to me.

592
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:51,000
You haven't back not some people are just cursed. Okay. And it sucks. Everybody wants that they don't have.

593
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:56,000
So I'm sure she's like, yeah. Yeah, that has to be really heavy. But you know, whatever.

594
00:56:56,000 --> 00:57:01,000
If you get the right bra, I guess it's fine.

595
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:04,000
Anyways, Kyoko is days.

596
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:12,000
Cup size by site Kyoko. She like immediately instantly does. She's a little insecure.

597
00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:16,000
Dude, maybe she's just into maybe she's just into a song. She's like, oh, she's the perfect woman.

598
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:22,000
Yeah. Yeah, her shirt is heinous, but she is pretty.

599
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:28,000
The outfit is bad. Yeah, it's which, you know, is fine because you're the producer.

600
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:31,000
So who cares what your outfit is?

601
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:39,000
Let's see. Kyoko is days by the revelation that show has been palling around with hot older women while she was being his damn housekeeper the whole time.

602
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:42,000
She has renewed anger and has to hide it for now.

603
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:50,000
They go to the meeting room and we meet fellow actress, Mimori Nanokura, who is also going to be in the video.

604
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:55,000
She is into show and suspicious of Kyoko. Yeah, something to say.

605
00:57:55,000 --> 00:58:01,000
Yeah. And the manga, she freaking goes to the same school as Kyoko and they kind of know each other.

606
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:08,000
And she almost like, as she's like, oh, what are you, what the hell are you doing here Kyoko?

607
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:13,000
And then Mou and then Kyoko covers her mouth before she can say her last name.

608
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:23,000
She doesn't want to or show to find out. So wild that they just, I mean, I guess it still makes sense without that knowledge, but she kind of pesters her.

609
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:27,000
She's one of the girls kind of need to her at school. Yeah, that makes sense.

610
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:30,000
We don't really get anything about the school life.

611
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:39,000
Yeah, they all sit down and discuss the promo. A zombie gives an outline of the shoot, which is going to be a fantasy setting about a devil boy and two pure hearted angels.

612
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:44,000
The devil boy has never been in love before, but falls in love with one of the angels immediately. Love it for a sight.

613
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:49,000
However, their love is forbidden because it will destroy them both. What?

614
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:56,000
Devil boy sounds silly. Devil. Well, this whole thing is ridiculous.

615
00:58:56,000 --> 00:59:02,000
The other angel discovers this, that they fell in love and then tries to kill the devil upon hearing this premise.

616
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:05,000
Kyoko enthusiastically and volunteers to be the one that tries to kill the devil.

617
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:09,000
She's like, I have been, I want to do this. And a zombie is like, oh, great.

618
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:14,000
Like, because that's how I wanted to cast it. But I was worried you like wouldn't want to be the antagonist.

619
00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:20,000
And Kyoko says that she spent every waking hour wishing she could kill a devil.

620
00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:22,000
This exact devil.

621
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:27,000
Yes, this exact devil. Don't worry about the context. Don't worry about my enthusiasm.

622
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:30,000
It's just because I love the premise so much.

623
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:37,000
Kyoko goes to the bathroom and tries to physically wash her hands of Shofu being like, I had to shake his hand earlier.

624
00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:45,000
She decides how she's going to try to like play this off as like, I have to, I like, I hate this guy, but I can't hate this guy too much because I have to pretend to be a different Kyoko.

625
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:51,000
She's walking back to the room and she overhears me Marie talking shit about Ren show because show is still going on.

626
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:55,000
Because show is still insecure about Ren being a hotter guy than him.

627
00:59:55,000 --> 01:00:02,000
Kyoko realizes that the way memory is comforting him is the way that she used to comfort him back in the day.

628
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:08,000
So she's like, oh, Jesus Christ, this woman is just like me. How I was. Oh, no.

629
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:10,000
The ghost of Kyoko's past.

630
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:13,000
The ghost of Kyoko. This is who she was haunting her.

631
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:20,000
They get served lunch, but memory has made show a lunch instead of him getting one from like whatever catering place they got it from.

632
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:23,000
He's annoyed and ungrateful.

633
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:29,000
Back to that last scene. She's like, oh, she's just like me. And then she's like, oh, never mind. She's got huge boobs. She's fine.

634
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:33,000
She won't suffer the same fate as me.

635
01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:36,000
And sorry, the bento.

636
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:46,000
Yeah, she prepared a lunch for him. He's annoyed and ungrateful, but it's like, I guess I'll eat it anyway. Kyoko is depressed having to watch another girl get treated like shit by show.

637
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:51,000
No, this isn't where it happens. He takes a bite of the prepared lunch, but doesn't like it and is about to spit it out.

638
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:56,000
And Kyoko thinks that memory must have put her heart and soul into making that so he can't like spit it out.

639
01:00:56,000 --> 01:00:59,000
You can't refuse this. So she slides him a packet of salt.

640
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:02,000
She'll seize this and stares at her as we cut the credits.

641
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:06,000
Cool. But also, girl, you're giving it away.

642
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:10,000
Giving it away. I mean, because I guess there's it's an egg omelet.

643
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:15,000
I guess some people make it salty and some make it sweet, which sweet sounds disgusting to me.

644
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:17,000
It sounds gross.

645
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:20,000
Eggs should be salty. Yeah.

646
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:23,000
Yep. So here they are together. She has to pretend to be different.

647
01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:26,000
No, I'm but I'm in Mori.

648
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:30,000
She's a little more. He has a nickname. Yeah, he doesn't.

649
01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:36,000
That's what I was like. Does it happen here? No, it happens the next episode where he does that.

650
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:46,000
His cut she goes to Ellen that she brings up rent. Yeah, that terrible fake horrible bore.

651
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:51,000
Yeah. Yes, there's not that much substance to his personality.

652
01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:54,000
It's true. He's a robot man.

653
01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:56,000
A little bit.

654
01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:58,000
All right. I think she's going to the next one.

655
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:09,000
Now at the final episode of Ivy League, after a couple of episodes of Libert�eds are pre masses live on deleven.

656
01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:10,000
What about me?

657
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:19,000
One of the first episodes I saw only two seasons ago will reveal in this stream because

658
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:24,720
He's got the little like, yeah, he's got the little chain coming from your fingers down

659
01:02:24,720 --> 01:02:26,200
to like the thing on the back of your hand.

660
01:02:26,200 --> 01:02:27,200
I don't know what that thing's called.

661
01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:28,880
Like a gauntlet kind of.

662
01:02:28,880 --> 01:02:31,000
It's way over the top.

663
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:33,560
Show keeps debating if it's really her or not.

664
01:02:33,560 --> 01:02:38,880
Then he spies a perfume, a perfume bottle in the shape of a swan that he remembers

665
01:02:38,880 --> 01:02:44,040
Kyoko wanting so badly not that long ago that she even gave it her own little nickname.

666
01:02:44,040 --> 01:02:47,200
He thinks that he will use this to expose her as the OP plays.

667
01:02:47,200 --> 01:02:48,920
We cut to the women's dressing room.

668
01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:52,400
Kyoko is freaking out because she thinks she might have given herself away when she slid

669
01:02:52,400 --> 01:02:55,240
him that packet of salt last episode.

670
01:02:55,240 --> 01:02:58,520
We see me morey getting her makeup applied and Kyoko is into it.

671
01:02:58,520 --> 01:03:00,080
She's like, hell yeah, makeup.

672
01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:01,080
Yeah.

673
01:03:01,080 --> 01:03:02,080
All right.

674
01:03:02,080 --> 01:03:05,680
She says she can't wait until she gets hers in memory and the makeup artist think that's

675
01:03:05,680 --> 01:03:06,680
weird.

676
01:03:06,680 --> 01:03:07,680
Like you're too excited about this show.

677
01:03:07,680 --> 01:03:09,360
And a saw me burst in in memory.

678
01:03:09,360 --> 01:03:13,120
Fonz over shows demon elf look.

679
01:03:13,120 --> 01:03:16,840
Kyoko is also shocked and show like walks over to her and is like, ooh, I saw you looking

680
01:03:16,840 --> 01:03:17,840
at me.

681
01:03:17,840 --> 01:03:20,480
You must really love fairy tale elf stories, huh?

682
01:03:20,480 --> 01:03:22,480
And Kyoko's like, no.

683
01:03:22,480 --> 01:03:24,360
I don't know what you're talking about.

684
01:03:24,360 --> 01:03:29,200
I don't love elf fairy tale stories, but she'll keep pressing the issue, pinning her

685
01:03:29,200 --> 01:03:33,800
to the wall and asking her to call her show like she used to.

686
01:03:33,800 --> 01:03:35,640
And she was like, I don't know what you're talking about.

687
01:03:35,640 --> 01:03:38,920
But before he can keep going, memory steps in between them and separates them.

688
01:03:38,920 --> 01:03:41,280
She's like, what's going on with you two?

689
01:03:41,280 --> 01:03:44,040
This is where Ren calls memory.

690
01:03:44,040 --> 01:03:45,840
Poetry or poetry.

691
01:03:45,840 --> 01:03:48,080
Poetry, Poetry, Poetry.

692
01:03:48,080 --> 01:03:52,640
I think it's which is we get a note that says that's a dog's name.

693
01:03:52,640 --> 01:03:54,760
He's calling her a dog's name.

694
01:03:54,760 --> 01:03:55,760
Yeah.

695
01:03:55,760 --> 01:03:57,680
And she likes it, I guess.

696
01:03:57,680 --> 01:04:02,440
Kyoko is like, thank God that's over with when show pulls out the perfume and says

697
01:04:02,440 --> 01:04:03,440
loudly to himself.

698
01:04:03,440 --> 01:04:06,560
Oh, hey, look at this weird cosmetic I found.

699
01:04:06,560 --> 01:04:09,440
Man, if only I could remember what it's called.

700
01:04:09,440 --> 01:04:10,440
What's it called again?

701
01:04:10,440 --> 01:04:11,440
Oh, yeah.

702
01:04:11,440 --> 01:04:12,520
It's called.

703
01:04:12,520 --> 01:04:18,800
And then he and Kyoko both say the name Royal Odette at the same time, which is the nickname

704
01:04:18,800 --> 01:04:21,200
Kyoko gave it, not the actual name.

705
01:04:21,200 --> 01:04:24,440
And Kyoko is still like in love with this product.

706
01:04:24,440 --> 01:04:27,960
Everyone else in the room like looks kind of weird and memories like why did you guys

707
01:04:27,960 --> 01:04:28,960
call it that?

708
01:04:28,960 --> 01:04:29,960
It's called Royal Snow.

709
01:04:29,960 --> 01:04:31,520
Like what are you all talking about?

710
01:04:31,520 --> 01:04:34,600
And Kyoko realizes that she just said the name that she personally called it, not the

711
01:04:34,600 --> 01:04:38,640
actual name and looks at show who smirks because now he's confirmed that it's actually

712
01:04:38,640 --> 01:04:39,640
her.

713
01:04:39,640 --> 01:04:41,240
I can't believe she gets she is owned so hard here.

714
01:04:41,240 --> 01:04:43,040
Yeah, what is this?

715
01:04:43,040 --> 01:04:44,040
Is this perfume?

716
01:04:44,040 --> 01:04:45,040
I can't tell what this is.

717
01:04:45,040 --> 01:04:50,720
Yeah, it's a perfume just shaped in a swan, which Odette is the name of the swan princess.

718
01:04:50,720 --> 01:04:51,720
Oh, OK.

719
01:04:51,720 --> 01:04:52,720
That makes sense.

720
01:04:52,720 --> 01:04:53,720
Yeah, that's a good.

721
01:04:53,720 --> 01:04:54,720
Well, the guy is annoying in that movie, but it's a good Disney movie.

722
01:04:54,720 --> 01:04:55,720
I think it's Disney.

723
01:04:55,720 --> 01:04:56,720
No, it's not.

724
01:04:56,720 --> 01:04:57,720
No, it's not.

725
01:04:57,720 --> 01:04:58,720
OK, it's not.

726
01:04:58,720 --> 01:04:59,720
It's good.

727
01:04:59,720 --> 01:05:00,720
The guy is dumb, though.

728
01:05:00,720 --> 01:05:13,960
But yeah, so, you know, she gets like a little in her head and like fantasizing whenever she

729
01:05:13,960 --> 01:05:19,400
sees anything cute, kind of how she was just like drooling, watching the memory, getting

730
01:05:19,400 --> 01:05:20,400
her makeup done.

731
01:05:20,400 --> 01:05:24,000
Just that's her weakness is all these cosmetic things.

732
01:05:24,000 --> 01:05:27,560
And so she just dreams about it since she can't actually have them normally.

733
01:05:27,560 --> 01:05:32,720
And he knows that because he does know that they did live together.

734
01:05:32,720 --> 01:05:36,800
So just like she knows his weaknesses, he knows hers.

735
01:05:36,800 --> 01:05:41,840
He was paying enough attention to realize this would work.

736
01:05:41,840 --> 01:05:46,800
We cut to Yashiro and Ren and Yashiro is like, you didn't seriously confuse the stamps last

737
01:05:46,800 --> 01:05:47,800
episode, right?

738
01:05:47,800 --> 01:05:48,800
You're just being mean to her.

739
01:05:48,800 --> 01:05:52,600
And Ren says that he won't give her 100 points just to satisfy her ego.

740
01:05:52,600 --> 01:05:54,200
And Yashiro is like, oh, I get it.

741
01:05:54,200 --> 01:05:56,200
You know, I'm not going to be able to do that.

742
01:05:56,200 --> 01:05:57,560
And Yashiro is like, oh, I get it.

743
01:05:57,560 --> 01:06:01,080
You took off 10 points when she implied that she was just doing like the work for herself.

744
01:06:01,080 --> 01:06:04,740
Like she thought it was part of her job and not that she was like, especially taking care

745
01:06:04,740 --> 01:06:05,740
of you.

746
01:06:05,740 --> 01:06:08,880
And Ren's like, uh, yeah, I guess so.

747
01:06:08,880 --> 01:06:10,360
And Yashiro is like, I get it, man.

748
01:06:10,360 --> 01:06:14,040
Like obviously she was just doing that stuff because it's her job.

749
01:06:14,040 --> 01:06:17,320
But I guess it's still surprising coming from somebody you like that, like, you know, they

750
01:06:17,320 --> 01:06:18,640
were just doing that because of their job.

751
01:06:18,640 --> 01:06:20,040
And Ren's like, what do you mean?

752
01:06:20,040 --> 01:06:21,040
I don't like her.

753
01:06:21,040 --> 01:06:22,040
Like, yeah, sure.

754
01:06:22,040 --> 01:06:23,040
I don't hate her anymore.

755
01:06:23,040 --> 01:06:26,560
But actually I just subtracted those points on principle so that the love me section can

756
01:06:26,560 --> 01:06:29,160
work out the way that president Lori described.

757
01:06:29,160 --> 01:06:31,160
And Yashiro was like, what are you talking about?

758
01:06:31,160 --> 01:06:32,440
I see the way you look at her.

759
01:06:32,440 --> 01:06:36,160
You're so on one right now.

760
01:06:36,160 --> 01:06:42,400
I know for Yashiro, he like sees everything and has to like sit with the information by

761
01:06:42,400 --> 01:06:43,400
himself.

762
01:06:43,400 --> 01:06:47,160
So Yashiro is the most like, dude, you could just be normal about this.

763
01:06:47,160 --> 01:06:48,840
Like it's not that big of a deal.

764
01:06:48,840 --> 01:06:49,840
Yes.

765
01:06:49,840 --> 01:06:53,200
Because he like speculates on a rents pass because Ryan doesn't open up.

766
01:06:53,200 --> 01:06:58,000
So he's like, oh, you were like up to no good as a kid, weren't you?

767
01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:00,640
You were like a little punk back in your day, right?

768
01:07:00,640 --> 01:07:02,760
So you just have to like come up with all these scenarios.

769
01:07:02,760 --> 01:07:07,520
Like, thanks might be rent because rent will not tell him anything about himself.

770
01:07:07,520 --> 01:07:13,360
Do you think being rents manager would suck kind of like I'm sure, you know, he does everything.

771
01:07:13,360 --> 01:07:14,480
He's good at everything.

772
01:07:14,480 --> 01:07:17,280
But then it's like the guy never talks about anything.

773
01:07:17,280 --> 01:07:20,720
He never fucking eats.

774
01:07:20,720 --> 01:07:22,720
It never takes care of itself.

775
01:07:22,720 --> 01:07:24,640
It must be like kind of annoying.

776
01:07:24,640 --> 01:07:26,120
Probably have no vacation days.

777
01:07:26,120 --> 01:07:28,400
Rent certainly not taking a vacation.

778
01:07:28,400 --> 01:07:31,400
So that's true.

779
01:07:31,400 --> 01:07:33,400
Hopefully he's getting paid pretty well though.

780
01:07:33,400 --> 01:07:34,400
I don't know.

781
01:07:34,400 --> 01:07:36,400
You think me and just get paid though?

782
01:07:36,400 --> 01:07:40,320
I think they get like a cut of what the client makes right and rents probably make a pretty

783
01:07:40,320 --> 01:07:41,320
good money.

784
01:07:41,320 --> 01:07:42,320
Oh yeah, that's true.

785
01:07:42,320 --> 01:07:43,320
That's true.

786
01:07:43,320 --> 01:07:44,320
Anyway, let's see.

787
01:07:44,320 --> 01:07:46,520
We cut back to shows promo shoot.

788
01:07:46,520 --> 01:07:50,000
The memory asks show what the relationship with Koko or what his relationship with Koko

789
01:07:50,000 --> 01:07:54,800
is and we get a flashback where Koko asks him if she's going to fire her if he's going

790
01:07:54,800 --> 01:07:57,400
to fire her when he realizes that it's her.

791
01:07:57,400 --> 01:07:59,720
And he says no, she can't hurt him anyway.

792
01:07:59,720 --> 01:08:02,640
So like do your best to see if you can really get revenge on me, huh?

793
01:08:02,640 --> 01:08:04,840
Like he's daring her to back in the present.

794
01:08:04,840 --> 01:08:08,480
He tells me more that Koko is his enemy and she's like, what?

795
01:08:08,480 --> 01:08:15,040
Coco walks out in costume, which consists of like a like a fantasy flowy, like long floor

796
01:08:15,040 --> 01:08:19,400
length dress and like this enormous blonde wig.

797
01:08:19,400 --> 01:08:20,400
It's huge.

798
01:08:20,400 --> 01:08:21,400
Yes.

799
01:08:21,400 --> 01:08:22,400
It is wild.

800
01:08:22,400 --> 01:08:24,900
She looks so pretty.

801
01:08:24,900 --> 01:08:25,900
She does look pretty.

802
01:08:25,900 --> 01:08:26,900
She's got like makeup done and stuff like that.

803
01:08:26,900 --> 01:08:27,900
I mean, she's supposed to be an angel.

804
01:08:27,900 --> 01:08:29,400
I don't know if I get like an angel.

805
01:08:29,400 --> 01:08:30,400
Yeah, yeah.

806
01:08:30,400 --> 01:08:32,160
She got well, they don't really say it explicitly.

807
01:08:32,160 --> 01:08:40,080
I don't know if they will name me at all, but they're they're angels.

808
01:08:40,080 --> 01:08:50,120
So the her her rookie, she said, will add the the wings and CGI after we shoot everything.

809
01:08:50,120 --> 01:08:54,560
So they're just not wearing wings now, but there will be in the final thing.

810
01:08:54,560 --> 01:08:55,560
Yeah.

811
01:08:55,560 --> 01:08:56,560
Smoking hot.

812
01:08:56,560 --> 01:08:58,920
Yeah, look at looking good.

813
01:08:58,920 --> 01:09:03,040
Show is stunned that she looks so good and is in disbelief and it's really Koko.

814
01:09:03,040 --> 01:09:05,720
She curtsies to him and then kicks the shit out of him.

815
01:09:05,720 --> 01:09:10,600
Then she grabs him by the collar and is like, never thought I could be like this, huh?

816
01:09:10,600 --> 01:09:13,160
Newsflash, the nice innocent girl you knew was gone.

817
01:09:13,160 --> 01:09:15,720
I'm going to make you wish you were dead.

818
01:09:15,720 --> 01:09:20,440
A saw me walks over and is like, what's the deal with you two?

819
01:09:20,440 --> 01:09:25,720
Show says that they used to be childhood friends, but she's different now and like show still

820
01:09:25,720 --> 01:09:30,560
in disbelief over how she's acting shows manager who up to this point, I'd forgotten about

821
01:09:30,560 --> 01:09:37,760
her name, Shoko, is like, I can't believe that was the same girl we saw on episode one.

822
01:09:37,760 --> 01:09:38,920
They all walk on set.

823
01:09:38,920 --> 01:09:42,600
Memorial is upset because she can't be and she can't be friends with Koko because she

824
01:09:42,600 --> 01:09:43,600
hates show.

825
01:09:43,600 --> 01:09:44,600
She's like, I hate this chick.

826
01:09:44,600 --> 01:09:45,600
This chick sucks.

827
01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:49,520
How am I supposed to pretend to be like sisters with her or whatever for this shoot?

828
01:09:49,520 --> 01:09:53,040
And show is like, yeah, you know, it is kind of weird how all the other girls always hate

829
01:09:53,040 --> 01:09:54,040
you, Koko.

830
01:09:54,040 --> 01:09:58,000
And Koko snaps back that it's his fault because he was overly friendly with her all through

831
01:09:58,000 --> 01:10:01,280
like their childhood and the other girls were jealous of that.

832
01:10:01,280 --> 01:10:04,000
She couldn't make any friends with any girls and shows like, wait, really?

833
01:10:04,000 --> 01:10:08,000
And Koko's like, yeah, dude, Memorial gets frustrated and is like, I need you two to

834
01:10:08,000 --> 01:10:09,280
stop arguing over stuff.

835
01:10:09,280 --> 01:10:11,200
I don't understand what you're talking about.

836
01:10:11,200 --> 01:10:12,520
FOMO FOMO.

837
01:10:12,520 --> 01:10:17,160
Asami Koko and the other like some other staff member meets backstage.

838
01:10:17,160 --> 01:10:20,280
Asami explains that the shoot doesn't have any dialogue.

839
01:10:20,280 --> 01:10:24,200
So they're all supposed to like act through a moating on their faces because like, you

840
01:10:24,200 --> 01:10:25,200
know, it's a music video.

841
01:10:25,200 --> 01:10:27,760
So the music is going to play in the background.

842
01:10:27,760 --> 01:10:31,400
But since Memorial hates Koko now, that'll make things kind of hard.

843
01:10:31,400 --> 01:10:34,120
The staff member apologizes to Koko and Koko is like, it's cool.

844
01:10:34,120 --> 01:10:35,120
We'll just like deal with it.

845
01:10:35,120 --> 01:10:37,400
Like, you know, I can I can pretend that we're friends.

846
01:10:37,400 --> 01:10:39,880
It's I'm an actor.

847
01:10:39,880 --> 01:10:43,600
She thinks that she needs the shoot to go well or her revenge won't work out because it has

848
01:10:43,600 --> 01:10:45,280
to be a stepping stone for her career.

849
01:10:45,280 --> 01:10:51,680
Nearby, show explains to Memorial that him and Koko are over, but Memorial comments that

850
01:10:51,680 --> 01:10:52,880
he keeps looking at her.

851
01:10:52,880 --> 01:10:54,200
Why does he keep looking at her?

852
01:10:54,200 --> 01:10:58,360
We got a montage of the shoot with shows music playing over it.

853
01:10:58,360 --> 01:10:59,360
And I kind of like his music.

854
01:10:59,360 --> 01:11:02,120
I kind of like the song.

855
01:11:02,120 --> 01:11:07,920
Yeah, I'm sure like shows like any anime based off a star.

856
01:11:07,920 --> 01:11:13,840
It's probably someone like an actual artist using it as like their own stepping stone

857
01:11:13,840 --> 01:11:16,680
to get a little famous by having their stuff in the anime.

858
01:11:16,680 --> 01:11:17,680
Oh, sure.

859
01:11:17,680 --> 01:11:22,920
It's like it's like a visual kind of.

860
01:11:22,920 --> 01:11:30,360
I think how crazy he dresses in stuff in the montage.

861
01:11:30,360 --> 01:11:33,400
We see show having difficulty not staring at Koko.

862
01:11:33,400 --> 01:11:37,160
He thinks about how hard he tried to deny that he was staring at Koko to Memorial, but

863
01:11:37,160 --> 01:11:38,920
he couldn't seem to even do that very well.

864
01:11:38,920 --> 01:11:42,360
So he walks up and is like, show, you need to pay attention to Koko.

865
01:11:42,360 --> 01:11:46,920
You see how good she is at acting like she can act all playful with Memorial, even though

866
01:11:46,920 --> 01:11:49,200
10 minutes ago, she told her that she hated her.

867
01:11:49,200 --> 01:11:52,960
That's because she takes the job seriously, just like you need to do for these scenes.

868
01:11:52,960 --> 01:11:58,080
The upcoming scene is where Koko kills show is about to be shot.

869
01:11:58,080 --> 01:12:03,480
Show thinks about Koko and we get a momentary flashback where after the scene with Memorial,

870
01:12:03,480 --> 01:12:05,840
he tells Koko that he's surprised that she can act.

871
01:12:05,840 --> 01:12:09,640
And she says that she wouldn't have even gotten into it if he hadn't dumped her.

872
01:12:09,640 --> 01:12:12,240
And Asami wonders what that could mean.

873
01:12:12,240 --> 01:12:14,200
Memorial asks Koko what that means.

874
01:12:14,200 --> 01:12:17,880
She's like, did you two go out and Koko is like, oh, dude, I don't have time to explain

875
01:12:17,880 --> 01:12:20,640
this to you, but like the relationship was bad.

876
01:12:20,640 --> 01:12:24,040
It's not good in the way you're probably thinking in the hallway show and show.

877
01:12:24,040 --> 01:12:25,040
Go are walking.

878
01:12:25,040 --> 01:12:29,440
Shoko comments that he can't or he didn't say that Koko was like his maid at the time

879
01:12:29,440 --> 01:12:33,800
and show was like, yeah, I couldn't bring myself to like say that out loud to everybody.

880
01:12:33,800 --> 01:12:36,720
Um, Shoko is like, oh, I bet you're feeling guilty about that, huh?

881
01:12:36,720 --> 01:12:40,720
And he says no, because in his mind, she still belongs to him.

882
01:12:40,720 --> 01:12:42,800
So he has every right to do whatever he wants to her.

883
01:12:42,800 --> 01:12:46,920
And then he walks off and Choko thinks that that's a terrible thing to say, but then wonders

884
01:12:46,920 --> 01:12:50,200
what will happen if he actually starts to fall in love with her the way she is now.

885
01:12:50,200 --> 01:12:51,200
Just sucks.

886
01:12:51,200 --> 01:12:55,600
Yeah, he does own this woman for some reason.

887
01:12:55,600 --> 01:12:56,600
Yeah.

888
01:12:56,600 --> 01:12:57,600
Yeah.

889
01:12:57,600 --> 01:12:59,440
It's just a little shit.

890
01:12:59,440 --> 01:13:00,840
And I guess Shoko just doesn't.

891
01:13:00,840 --> 01:13:06,360
It's just like, well, that's just fully aware that he is, but she is his manager.

892
01:13:06,360 --> 01:13:08,440
So it's just her job.

893
01:13:08,440 --> 01:13:09,440
Another job.

894
01:13:09,440 --> 01:13:10,440
Just get a new client.

895
01:13:10,440 --> 01:13:11,440
The show isn't that good, right?

896
01:13:11,440 --> 01:13:13,680
Well, he probably is making a lot of money.

897
01:13:13,680 --> 01:13:17,360
So if she does it like you said, then maybe it's worth it.

898
01:13:17,360 --> 01:13:18,360
I don't know.

899
01:13:18,360 --> 01:13:24,360
He is quite, I feel like he would be in so many scandals, like how he behaves.

900
01:13:24,360 --> 01:13:25,360
Oh yeah.

901
01:13:25,360 --> 01:13:26,840
You know, he didn't cancel nowadays.

902
01:13:26,840 --> 01:13:27,840
Yeah.

903
01:13:27,840 --> 01:13:31,280
He'd be getting canceled and then he'd have to come back and get a Netflix special about

904
01:13:31,280 --> 01:13:32,280
how he got canceled.

905
01:13:32,280 --> 01:13:34,280
And it would be so annoying.

906
01:13:34,280 --> 01:13:35,280
Yeah.

907
01:13:35,280 --> 01:13:36,280
Let's see.

908
01:13:36,280 --> 01:13:40,880
The murder scene starts.

909
01:13:40,880 --> 01:13:43,880
Kyoko's got a choke show and throw him off a tower.

910
01:13:43,880 --> 01:13:47,960
Kyoko is super pumped for the scene and show thinks that she's being so defiant like she

911
01:13:47,960 --> 01:13:52,320
actually does want to devour him because I guess he's like kind of into this now.

912
01:13:52,320 --> 01:13:55,680
He's getting like a weird psychosexual vibe coming from this guy.

913
01:13:55,680 --> 01:13:56,680
What?

914
01:13:56,680 --> 01:14:01,160
Being like the girl I own is being so defiant against me now.

915
01:14:01,160 --> 01:14:03,160
Oh yeah.

916
01:14:03,160 --> 01:14:04,160
Yeah.

917
01:14:04,160 --> 01:14:05,160
Uh.

918
01:14:05,160 --> 01:14:10,840
He thinks that she's gotten too good too fast and he needs to prove that he's

919
01:14:10,840 --> 01:14:11,840
better.

920
01:14:11,840 --> 01:14:15,280
The scene rehearsal starts and Kyoko just immediately starts choking the shit out of

921
01:14:15,280 --> 01:14:16,280
show.

922
01:14:16,280 --> 01:14:18,000
The zombies like, stop, stop.

923
01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:19,000
You're choking it for real.

924
01:14:19,000 --> 01:14:20,000
You need to not do that.

925
01:14:20,000 --> 01:14:24,600
Kyoko apologizes to Asami, but asks if her character is supposed to like turn into a

926
01:14:24,600 --> 01:14:27,480
devil at the end.

927
01:14:27,480 --> 01:14:31,000
So like, shouldn't she be choking him with like, vigor, like with some malice?

928
01:14:31,000 --> 01:14:33,960
And Asami is like, well, she becomes a devil after she kills him.

929
01:14:33,960 --> 01:14:37,320
So like, you need to still be an angel while you're choking him.

930
01:14:37,320 --> 01:14:39,720
So you need to choke him angelically.

931
01:14:39,720 --> 01:14:44,160
Kyoko is like, all right, I'll just try to think angel thoughts.

932
01:14:44,160 --> 01:14:45,840
They try to shot again.

933
01:14:45,840 --> 01:14:49,840
She's choking him less hard, but still for real and still clearly angry.

934
01:14:49,840 --> 01:14:51,760
So Asami calls cut.

935
01:14:51,760 --> 01:14:55,400
She tells Kyoko that she needs to think about being an angel like she did in the previous

936
01:14:55,400 --> 01:15:00,560
scene with Mamori when they were like hanging out as like, you know, sisters.

937
01:15:00,560 --> 01:15:03,880
Kyoko thinks to herself that she could act in the Mori scene because she was imagining

938
01:15:03,880 --> 01:15:07,760
Mamori as Moko, her actual friend, but it's not going to work for this because she doesn't

939
01:15:07,760 --> 01:15:10,040
have any analog for show other than show.

940
01:15:10,040 --> 01:15:11,560
A guy she hates.

941
01:15:11,560 --> 01:15:12,560
Yeah.

942
01:15:12,560 --> 01:15:17,520
She's wondering what she should do as they take a break and show walks over to taunt her.

943
01:15:17,520 --> 01:15:20,960
He's like, oh, for all that talk, this is the best you can do, huh?

944
01:15:20,960 --> 01:15:24,200
You can't even choke me properly.

945
01:15:24,200 --> 01:15:28,080
So I guess give me your best performance as we cut to credits.

946
01:15:28,080 --> 01:15:30,240
Yeah, that would be so annoying, right?

947
01:15:30,240 --> 01:15:32,400
Using her words against him.

948
01:15:32,400 --> 01:15:35,120
Dude, he wants to get choked by her properly.

949
01:15:35,120 --> 01:15:37,640
I'm telling you, this is like some psychosexual thing.

950
01:15:37,640 --> 01:15:39,840
Don't you like this late?

951
01:15:39,840 --> 01:15:43,080
Oh, my property is so defiant of me.

952
01:15:43,080 --> 01:15:45,360
She's defying me so much and she's going to choke me.

953
01:15:45,360 --> 01:15:48,760
I think he wants to get dominated, you know?

954
01:15:48,760 --> 01:15:51,360
I feel like.

955
01:15:51,360 --> 01:15:52,520
OK, I don't know.

956
01:15:52,520 --> 01:15:54,880
This is a show, Joe, but I can't be the thing.

957
01:15:54,880 --> 01:15:56,080
I can't be.

958
01:15:56,080 --> 01:15:57,080
Oh, come on.

959
01:15:57,080 --> 01:15:58,480
You can have a little fun.

960
01:15:58,480 --> 01:15:59,880
Oh, OK.

961
01:15:59,880 --> 01:16:00,880
This was written by an adult.

962
01:16:00,880 --> 01:16:04,080
He's calling his his producer, Milky.

963
01:16:04,080 --> 01:16:06,800
I hate it.

964
01:16:06,800 --> 01:16:09,800
He's like sitting on his manager's lap.

965
01:16:10,520 --> 01:16:11,600
Yeah, that's bad.

966
01:16:11,600 --> 01:16:13,560
You know, yeah, I don't know.

967
01:16:14,080 --> 01:16:18,880
I think he'll be like even if he he's going to be so in denial about

968
01:16:19,560 --> 01:16:23,120
being like, oh, yeah, he'll go hot now or anything like that

969
01:16:23,120 --> 01:16:24,920
because he did throw her away.

970
01:16:24,920 --> 01:16:30,000
So now he can't admit that she maybe it was a bad idea to throw away

971
01:16:30,360 --> 01:16:32,880
because he didn't know that she was a hidden gem.

972
01:16:32,880 --> 01:16:40,520
So he's got to like continue to disparage her to justify the loss of her, I guess.

973
01:16:40,640 --> 01:16:41,640
Yeah.

974
01:16:41,640 --> 01:16:44,600
I don't I don't know about that.

975
01:16:45,880 --> 01:16:47,480
Whatever.

976
01:16:47,480 --> 01:16:48,520
How he's kind of into it.

977
01:16:48,520 --> 01:16:51,240
Well, even his manager is like, damn, what if you what if he falls in love

978
01:16:51,240 --> 01:16:54,200
with her when she's like this because he seems to be kind of into it?

979
01:16:54,360 --> 01:16:55,800
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

980
01:16:55,800 --> 01:16:57,400
As he is.

981
01:16:57,400 --> 01:16:59,400
Well, that's not happening, dude.

982
01:16:59,800 --> 01:17:00,640
Freaking hate.

983
01:17:00,640 --> 01:17:02,560
I know she hates you.

984
01:17:02,560 --> 01:17:05,680
She literally just tried to kill you twice.

985
01:17:05,840 --> 01:17:07,400
Yeah. Oh, man.

986
01:17:07,400 --> 01:17:09,240
Yep. Good episodes.

987
01:17:09,240 --> 01:17:13,160
I like that we get the explicit thing where she says in an episode ago

988
01:17:13,160 --> 01:17:16,440
that she's trying that she's doing acting because she's trying to recreate herself

989
01:17:16,440 --> 01:17:18,960
outside of everybody else's expectations. That's good.

990
01:17:19,160 --> 01:17:21,520
That's the character motivation I wanted this whole time.

991
01:17:21,680 --> 01:17:22,600
And I got it.

992
01:17:22,600 --> 01:17:25,080
Episode 1817.

993
01:17:25,880 --> 01:17:27,720
I continue to get everything I want.

994
01:17:27,720 --> 01:17:29,720
Well,

995
01:17:29,720 --> 01:17:33,800
it is at the moment 50 volume manga.

996
01:17:33,800 --> 01:17:36,200
So like there's a lot.

997
01:17:36,200 --> 01:17:38,120
Oh, you said we're in volume seven.

998
01:17:38,120 --> 01:17:40,240
Yeah. Oh, my God.

999
01:17:42,520 --> 01:17:43,560
So, yeah, lots.

1000
01:17:43,560 --> 01:17:45,200
Lot. I mean, I don't know.

1001
01:17:45,200 --> 01:17:49,960
Yeah. So naturally, the we're going slowly get progress

1002
01:17:49,960 --> 01:17:52,200
because this is simply the beginning of the show.

1003
01:17:53,040 --> 01:17:58,320
I guess it's mostly just establishing why she's doing it, her motivations,

1004
01:17:58,320 --> 01:18:03,640
making some friends along the way, starting to get gigs.

1005
01:18:04,320 --> 01:18:05,680
But I mean, I think this is good.

1006
01:18:05,680 --> 01:18:07,200
Like her sense seems pretty reasonable.

1007
01:18:07,200 --> 01:18:10,800
Like it's not just like it's happening quite quickly.

1008
01:18:10,800 --> 01:18:12,840
It is six months.

1009
01:18:12,840 --> 01:18:15,440
Yeah. But it's like these are smaller things.

1010
01:18:15,440 --> 01:18:16,440
You know what I mean?

1011
01:18:16,440 --> 01:18:20,560
I guess maybe the Japanese industry is just more like approachable or like

1012
01:18:20,760 --> 01:18:22,160
they're not as well.

1013
01:18:22,160 --> 01:18:25,680
This is also before freaking influencers and stuff.

1014
01:18:25,680 --> 01:18:28,800
But maybe they were more or there's more.

1015
01:18:29,040 --> 01:18:30,240
There's less competition.

1016
01:18:30,240 --> 01:18:32,200
Maybe it's a smaller industry there.

1017
01:18:32,960 --> 01:18:33,760
I mean, yeah, maybe.

1018
01:18:33,760 --> 01:18:37,920
I mean, I think this is more of like this is because it's a story

1019
01:18:38,080 --> 01:18:39,520
and we need to start moving a little bit.

1020
01:18:39,520 --> 01:18:41,800
But you know, yeah.

1021
01:18:42,520 --> 01:18:44,080
It's not like unreasonable, you know what I mean?

1022
01:18:44,080 --> 01:18:48,080
Like, you know, it could have been it could have been more unrealistic

1023
01:18:48,080 --> 01:18:50,840
in the jump to things.

1024
01:18:50,840 --> 01:18:51,960
We're moving in pretty good progress.

1025
01:18:51,960 --> 01:18:54,240
I feel like everything makes sense up to this point.

1026
01:18:54,240 --> 01:18:56,920
Mm hmm. I like that.

1027
01:18:57,160 --> 01:19:02,080
Again, her being genuine, the fact that she gives 110 percent of everything

1028
01:19:02,560 --> 01:19:06,960
and we do see her focusing on the aspects of like her work that, you know,

1029
01:19:07,000 --> 01:19:09,680
shows that she's taking it seriously and also like demonstrates why she would

1030
01:19:09,680 --> 01:19:12,280
be good at stuff when she's like, oh, I was like picturing Moko as like

1031
01:19:12,280 --> 01:19:14,160
the person I was acting with.

1032
01:19:14,160 --> 01:19:15,240
Like that scene to work.

1033
01:19:15,240 --> 01:19:15,600
You know what I mean?

1034
01:19:15,600 --> 01:19:19,440
Like she's just doing stuff on her own kind of or, you know, without telling us,

1035
01:19:20,280 --> 01:19:22,320
which I think is good. Yeah.

1036
01:19:22,320 --> 01:19:24,960
So what do you think's going to happen now?

1037
01:19:25,640 --> 01:19:28,320
She's in this dilemma of wanting to murder.

1038
01:19:28,320 --> 01:19:29,320
Oh, she's going to figure it out.

1039
01:19:29,320 --> 01:19:30,960
She's going to figure out how to act like an angel.

1040
01:19:30,960 --> 01:19:34,200
She's probably going to be like, I just need to act like stoic like Ren does

1041
01:19:34,640 --> 01:19:36,480
and then figure it out.

1042
01:19:36,480 --> 01:19:39,960
Hmm. I think she's just I don't think she's going to like pull anything out

1043
01:19:39,960 --> 01:19:43,080
of a hat here. Like, you know, most of the time we see her like when things

1044
01:19:43,080 --> 01:19:46,240
like back against the wall, she like pulls out some interesting thing to do.

1045
01:19:47,240 --> 01:19:50,000
I think she'll just I think she'll just do the job at this point.

1046
01:19:50,000 --> 01:19:51,080
You know what I mean?

1047
01:19:51,080 --> 01:19:53,640
Yeah. There's not going to be a trick to this.

1048
01:19:53,640 --> 01:19:55,120
She's just going to have to do it.

1049
01:19:55,120 --> 01:19:57,760
Yeah. Let's see. Anything else?

1050
01:19:57,760 --> 01:20:01,920
I mean, is Ren going to go back to being mean to her just because

1051
01:20:01,920 --> 01:20:03,720
Yashura pointed it out again?

1052
01:20:03,720 --> 01:20:06,400
Yeah. I mean, the red stuff is interesting because I like, you know,

1053
01:20:06,400 --> 01:20:08,760
he's the love interest of the story, clearly, right?

1054
01:20:08,760 --> 01:20:12,400
But there and I guess part of this is like we're only adapting maybe like the first,

1055
01:20:13,200 --> 01:20:15,440
you know, eight or nine volumes.

1056
01:20:17,240 --> 01:20:18,480
But we are slow walking a little bit,

1057
01:20:18,480 --> 01:20:21,520
which I like because it makes it a little bit more realistic that this would happen

1058
01:20:21,920 --> 01:20:26,120
because again, you know, like in the first episode where they're like hanging out,

1059
01:20:27,160 --> 01:20:29,880
she's kind of taken care of in that kind of stuff that all seems pretty reasonable.

1060
01:20:29,880 --> 01:20:32,880
It doesn't seem like anybody is just like immediately falling in love with anybody else.

1061
01:20:33,520 --> 01:20:36,840
It doesn't even seem like she is thinking about him that way.

1062
01:20:36,840 --> 01:20:39,840
Even though it's not at all. Yeah.

1063
01:20:41,120 --> 01:20:43,600
When he said I get why the.

1064
01:20:43,600 --> 01:20:47,480
Well, I mean, this is this is what having a backstory,

1065
01:20:47,480 --> 01:20:51,640
but like having the me childhood friends or whatever does for you is like he can be

1066
01:20:51,640 --> 01:20:54,600
nostalgic about that, which kind of dovetails into it.

1067
01:20:54,600 --> 01:20:58,560
Right. So I get the move before I was like, I don't know what this gets you.

1068
01:20:58,840 --> 01:21:02,240
This is what it gets you. Yeah. So it's fine.

1069
01:21:05,160 --> 01:21:09,120
Well, yeah, I mean, because it's it's already been six months and we're only in

1070
01:21:09,800 --> 01:21:14,600
volume or it's only been six months, but we're already in volume seven and we have 50 volume.

1071
01:21:14,600 --> 01:21:17,400
So she will get older at some point.

1072
01:21:17,400 --> 01:21:22,560
So we don't know when they if they if they when they get together.

1073
01:21:22,560 --> 01:21:26,000
So maybe she will be like appropriate age at that time.

1074
01:21:26,640 --> 01:21:28,760
Maybe hopefully. Yeah, I don't know.

1075
01:21:29,120 --> 01:21:32,360
Well, we won't see you're on the podcast, sadly.

1076
01:21:33,360 --> 01:21:37,720
Yeah, I don't think we're going to get that in the final seven episodes of the show.

1077
01:21:38,080 --> 01:21:41,240
No. What? How do you think the show is going to end?

1078
01:21:41,240 --> 01:21:46,840
Uh, like, do you think they're going to end it as if it was continuing or try to end it?

1079
01:21:46,840 --> 01:21:52,680
Like, wrap, wrap up Blue Sands in the single season, knowing that they got canceled

1080
01:21:52,680 --> 01:21:57,320
or they like stopped being a company like mere months after this came out?

1081
01:21:58,760 --> 01:22:01,640
I don't I don't know. I mean, I guess it just kind of depends.

1082
01:22:01,640 --> 01:22:03,560
I think they're going to do a thing that like could be kind of like how

1083
01:22:03,560 --> 01:22:06,280
Kimi dates it OK, like every season kind of ended at a place where it's like,

1084
01:22:06,280 --> 01:22:09,040
well, this could be the end, even though like clearly it goes forward.

1085
01:22:09,040 --> 01:22:12,280
Yeah, because some of these shows are also just like, hey, you should go read

1086
01:22:12,280 --> 01:22:13,960
the source material that keeps going.

1087
01:22:14,200 --> 01:22:18,760
Yeah, I mean, this one clearly has like a like a goal that's supposed to be achieved,

1088
01:22:18,760 --> 01:22:21,960
which is like be bigger than show and show business.

1089
01:22:23,080 --> 01:22:27,840
So it's not as like vague in what the direction this takes is.

1090
01:22:28,560 --> 01:22:33,680
Yeah, it does kind of be more famous than him and has to do stuff to get to that point.

1091
01:22:33,680 --> 01:22:34,240
Yeah, that's true.

1092
01:22:34,240 --> 01:22:38,400
I mean, there is always the off ramp of she can decide that she's doing this

1093
01:22:38,400 --> 01:22:41,520
for herself and just drop the revenge thing at any point in time.

1094
01:22:42,200 --> 01:22:45,480
So I do feel like there is the the option for an off ramp of being like,

1095
01:22:45,720 --> 01:22:47,440
oh, you can always just like pivot from that.

1096
01:22:47,440 --> 01:22:50,120
Do the thing that Ren is saying where it's like, oh, I'm doing stuff for me

1097
01:22:50,120 --> 01:22:51,640
and not for revenge or whatever.

1098
01:22:51,640 --> 01:22:53,640
And that's kind of like how you would end at any point.

1099
01:22:54,400 --> 01:22:57,200
How would you want it to be like angry Kyoko?

1100
01:22:57,800 --> 01:22:59,040
Oh, no, I like it.

1101
01:22:59,040 --> 01:23:01,880
I'm just saying like mechanistically, that's the way you could do that.

1102
01:23:02,120 --> 01:23:04,160
I think it's better that she's mad.

1103
01:23:04,480 --> 01:23:06,400
I think it's better that she's fueled by spite.

1104
01:23:06,400 --> 01:23:09,040
I like angry Kyoko. Yeah, me too.

1105
01:23:09,040 --> 01:23:13,480
I have fully zero understanding of what the love me section is for anymore.

1106
01:23:15,120 --> 01:23:15,600
I know.

1107
01:23:15,600 --> 01:23:17,200
I feel like it kind of matter.

1108
01:23:17,200 --> 01:23:19,200
That has no stakes for me anymore.

1109
01:23:19,200 --> 01:23:19,840
You know what I mean?

1110
01:23:19,840 --> 01:23:21,640
Like that part has kind of fallen off.

1111
01:23:22,160 --> 01:23:22,880
Yeah, I know.

1112
01:23:22,880 --> 01:23:24,920
I feel like it should be.

1113
01:23:25,320 --> 01:23:28,360
Well, I mean, because anything love me would be like very temporary.

1114
01:23:28,360 --> 01:23:31,080
So it would be annoying if there's these constant like tiny things

1115
01:23:31,080 --> 01:23:34,520
taking us away from like the action of what's actually happening.

1116
01:23:34,520 --> 01:23:38,920
But I don't know, maybe they reference it more or well, I mean,

1117
01:23:38,920 --> 01:23:42,480
like it seems like the the thing she needs to learn is to do

1118
01:23:43,320 --> 01:23:46,000
some vague thing about being lovable, right?

1119
01:23:46,000 --> 01:23:48,120
And that kind of fits into this where it's like you have to pretend

1120
01:23:48,120 --> 01:23:51,000
like you have to act like you are going to be in love with somebody

1121
01:23:51,000 --> 01:23:52,840
at a certain point in time, convincingly, right?

1122
01:23:52,840 --> 01:23:55,800
You know, this scene is kind of a little bit different where you have to act

1123
01:23:55,800 --> 01:24:00,120
angelic and like on the behalf of your because you don't want your sister

1124
01:24:00,120 --> 01:24:02,240
to die. So you're like doing that kind of thing.

1125
01:24:02,800 --> 01:24:03,720
That's a little bit different.

1126
01:24:03,720 --> 01:24:05,280
That's a little bit different.

1127
01:24:05,280 --> 01:24:09,800
Yeah. And, you know, but like in terms of the love me stakes of like,

1128
01:24:09,800 --> 01:24:11,880
she needs the stamps to get approval.

1129
01:24:12,360 --> 01:24:16,640
She needs the she needs to like learn a lesson about like what it means to

1130
01:24:17,280 --> 01:24:19,240
love something and want to be loved.

1131
01:24:19,240 --> 01:24:22,280
Those stakes don't really feel like it has a lot of meaning for me at the moment.

1132
01:24:22,800 --> 01:24:25,800
Like that aspect of the love me section, like the premise of it,

1133
01:24:26,360 --> 01:24:29,080
it has no real impact on me at the moment.

1134
01:24:30,280 --> 01:24:31,840
At least I'm still like who cares?

1135
01:24:31,840 --> 01:24:37,560
That logo is like the like when she did the cooking and messed it up and is

1136
01:24:37,560 --> 01:24:39,320
like, oh, we can't show this is so bad.

1137
01:24:39,320 --> 01:24:43,520
But you just stuck the logo on top of the frying pan to hide the contents of it.

1138
01:24:44,400 --> 01:24:46,400
Yeah, I think like the aesthetics are good.

1139
01:24:46,400 --> 01:24:47,200
Like I like the jumpsuits.

1140
01:24:47,200 --> 01:24:47,720
I like the logo.

1141
01:24:47,720 --> 01:24:51,000
I'm just saying that like the stakes of that of like, is she going to be

1142
01:24:51,000 --> 01:24:54,800
let into LMI and like, is she going to pass through the love me section or not?

1143
01:24:55,080 --> 01:24:58,800
That is not like those are not stakes I'm thinking about or like are very invested in.

1144
01:24:58,800 --> 01:25:01,680
Are you going to sew us our own love me?

1145
01:25:02,400 --> 01:25:03,400
I got to sew it.

1146
01:25:03,400 --> 01:25:05,240
I mean, I guess I just got to get like a patch, right?

1147
01:25:05,240 --> 01:25:06,440
You just got to sew on a patch.

1148
01:25:06,440 --> 01:25:07,440
That should be pretty easy.

1149
01:25:08,320 --> 01:25:09,520
I bet somebody's done that.

1150
01:25:10,440 --> 01:25:10,960
Yeah.

1151
01:25:11,680 --> 01:25:12,640
Yeah, let me see.

1152
01:25:12,640 --> 01:25:15,680
Just probably heinous jumpsuits online already.

1153
01:25:16,920 --> 01:25:19,120
I got the patch that I have off Etsy.

1154
01:25:19,840 --> 01:25:20,720
It's very possible.

1155
01:25:20,720 --> 01:25:21,880
This seems possible to me.

1156
01:25:21,880 --> 01:25:22,880
I have people make these.

1157
01:25:23,240 --> 01:25:24,400
Yeah, yeah.

1158
01:25:24,400 --> 01:25:26,840
We can even get an ironed on it.

1159
01:25:26,840 --> 01:25:27,840
I have to sew anything.

1160
01:25:27,840 --> 01:25:31,840
Yeah, when we get our cosplay debut as a podcast.

1161
01:25:32,680 --> 01:25:33,280
Yeah.

1162
01:25:33,280 --> 01:25:36,840
And we're guest panelists at a convention.

1163
01:25:36,840 --> 01:25:37,840
Uh huh.

1164
01:25:38,840 --> 01:25:39,840
Yeah.

1165
01:25:39,840 --> 01:25:42,240
Anyway, we're still going strong from here.

1166
01:25:42,240 --> 01:25:45,240
We're going to have three more episodes because, you know, I said there are seven

1167
01:25:45,240 --> 01:25:46,640
episodes, we're covering three at a time.

1168
01:25:46,640 --> 01:25:48,240
Obviously three does not go into seven.

1169
01:25:48,240 --> 01:25:51,640
So I think we're going to do three episodes next time and then two and two.

1170
01:25:51,640 --> 01:25:52,640
Yeah.

1171
01:25:52,640 --> 01:25:54,640
And then we will be finished with Skipbeat.

1172
01:25:54,640 --> 01:25:55,640
Yep.

1173
01:25:55,640 --> 01:25:56,640
Yep.

1174
01:25:56,640 --> 01:25:57,640
So look forward to that.

1175
01:25:57,640 --> 01:25:59,640
But next time it's going to be three more episodes.

1176
01:25:59,640 --> 01:26:02,640
So we'll be doing 19, 20 and 21.

1177
01:26:02,640 --> 01:26:04,640
Oh, it's almost over.

1178
01:26:04,640 --> 01:26:06,640
Um, it is almost over.

1179
01:26:06,640 --> 01:26:07,640
Yeah.

1180
01:26:07,640 --> 01:26:13,640
We'll have to once we do our final episode on this kind of do the same like ranking.

1181
01:26:13,640 --> 01:26:17,640
We should have like favorite protagonists.

1182
01:26:17,640 --> 01:26:20,640
Like if it like does Kyoko replace?

1183
01:26:20,640 --> 01:26:22,640
Whoever.

1184
01:26:22,640 --> 01:26:23,640
Oh, yeah.

1185
01:26:23,640 --> 01:26:25,640
Obviously is number one.

1186
01:26:25,640 --> 01:26:26,640
She's the best.

1187
01:26:26,640 --> 01:26:29,640
Um, but yeah, rank all the stuff.

1188
01:26:29,640 --> 01:26:34,640
Rank love interest, rank, um, school uniforms, Kyoko losing that category.

1189
01:26:34,640 --> 01:26:38,640
Uh, well, actually the ones in Angelic layer are bizarre.

1190
01:26:38,640 --> 01:26:40,640
Um, yeah.

1191
01:26:40,640 --> 01:26:42,640
Fun stuff like that.

1192
01:26:42,640 --> 01:26:44,640
So look forward to it.

1193
01:26:44,640 --> 01:26:49,640
And, um, now we're going to do where we each recommend to do the

1194
01:26:49,640 --> 01:26:51,640
final episode on an online level.

1195
01:26:51,640 --> 01:26:55,640
So we're going to have to think about, if you have something that you

1196
01:26:55,640 --> 01:26:57,640
recommend, something.

1197
01:26:57,640 --> 01:27:01,640
That if you, you know, obviously if you enjoy this podcast in similar

1198
01:27:01,640 --> 01:27:07,640
interests to us that likely you'll enjoy our recommendations here.

1199
01:27:07,640 --> 01:27:09,640
And, uh, Jody having thing prepared.

1200
01:27:09,640 --> 01:27:11,640
No.

1201
01:27:11,640 --> 01:27:12,640
Me neither.

1202
01:27:12,640 --> 01:27:14,640
Well, I'm a fight.

1203
01:27:14,640 --> 01:27:18,640
It'll frame is a video game from 2001.

1204
01:27:18,640 --> 01:27:21,440
anything I have, I don't think I have anything.

1205
01:27:21,440 --> 01:27:25,640
In doubt, I go to a webtoon and just look at like,

1206
01:27:25,640 --> 01:27:28,040
what have I been reading recently?

1207
01:27:28,040 --> 01:27:34,040
Let's do, hold on, I'm about to say this.

1208
01:27:34,040 --> 01:27:35,040
Oh God.

1209
01:27:35,040 --> 01:27:36,840
I bought the Blue Rays for Fire Force.

1210
01:27:36,840 --> 01:27:40,440
I do like Fire Force despite the fan service character.

1211
01:27:40,440 --> 01:27:42,440
Well, because we like Soul Eater.

1212
01:27:42,440 --> 01:27:44,040
I do like Soul Eater.

1213
01:27:44,040 --> 01:27:46,640
Soul Eater also did that where it's like you have the

1214
01:27:46,640 --> 01:27:50,440
Blare who is like the fan service character here.

1215
01:27:50,440 --> 01:27:52,640
And this one, I like Tomahki.

1216
01:27:52,640 --> 01:27:54,440
It sucks that she gets treated this way.

1217
01:27:54,440 --> 01:27:55,440
Fire Force is a cool show.

1218
01:27:55,440 --> 01:27:56,240
I'll just recommend that.

1219
01:27:56,240 --> 01:27:57,640
Sure. Why not?

1220
01:27:57,640 --> 01:27:58,240
Let's see.

1221
01:27:58,240 --> 01:27:59,640
Do it.

1222
01:27:59,640 --> 01:28:05,040
Fire Force is an anime that is an adaptation of a manga.

1223
01:28:05,040 --> 01:28:10,040
The anime came out in, let me look it up online.

1224
01:28:10,040 --> 01:28:14,040
It came out in 2019.

1225
01:28:14,040 --> 01:28:18,240
It takes place in a fictional world where there are pyro

1226
01:28:18,240 --> 01:28:18,840
kinetics.

1227
01:28:18,840 --> 01:28:21,040
There are people with pyro kinetic abilities that come in

1228
01:28:21,040 --> 01:28:23,840
different generations.

1229
01:28:23,840 --> 01:28:24,840
So generation zero.

1230
01:28:24,840 --> 01:28:28,040
So in this world, people will randomly spontaneously combust

1231
01:28:28,040 --> 01:28:31,240
and become like fire monsters that will attack other people.

1232
01:28:31,240 --> 01:28:33,040
Those are called generation one.

1233
01:28:33,040 --> 01:28:37,240
Generation two are people that can control fire like telekinetically

1234
01:28:37,240 --> 01:28:38,640
like they're pyro kinetics.

1235
01:28:38,640 --> 01:28:42,440
And then generation three are people who can produce fire from

1236
01:28:42,440 --> 01:28:45,640
their bodies and basically everybody in the show has like

1237
01:28:45,640 --> 01:28:48,840
different fire based superpowers, more or less.

1238
01:28:48,840 --> 01:28:54,240
And they all wear these very cool like fire fighter suits.

1239
01:28:54,240 --> 01:28:54,840
Okay.

1240
01:28:54,840 --> 01:28:56,440
I don't like them.

1241
01:28:56,440 --> 01:28:57,440
You don't like the suits.

1242
01:28:57,440 --> 01:28:58,440
They look different.

1243
01:28:58,440 --> 01:28:59,440
None one.

1244
01:28:59,440 --> 01:29:01,240
What the heck?

1245
01:29:01,240 --> 01:29:04,040
And then there's also a none because a big part of this this

1246
01:29:04,040 --> 01:29:06,640
universe takes place of the church of the soul, which is like

1247
01:29:06,640 --> 01:29:11,240
the Catholic church of this world that is powerful and is also

1248
01:29:11,240 --> 01:29:16,040
around, you know, giving thanks to the sun god because it's all

1249
01:29:16,040 --> 01:29:17,840
about fire and sun.

1250
01:29:17,840 --> 01:29:19,240
It's very interesting.

1251
01:29:19,240 --> 01:29:21,240
There is a lot of intrigue.

1252
01:29:21,240 --> 01:29:28,440
The story follows a new recruit named Shinra Kusakabe, who's

1253
01:29:28,440 --> 01:29:33,040
a third generation pyro kinetic who shoots fire from his feet

1254
01:29:33,040 --> 01:29:33,840
to fly around.

1255
01:29:33,840 --> 01:29:35,840
So he's like an Iron Man flying around.

1256
01:29:35,840 --> 01:29:37,440
I mean, that's all I can do.

1257
01:29:37,440 --> 01:29:40,340
So he can ignite his feet as well and his ostracize as a child

1258
01:29:40,340 --> 01:29:43,640
for the fire that killed his mother and younger brother show

1259
01:29:43,640 --> 01:29:44,440
12 years ago.

1260
01:29:44,440 --> 01:29:46,540
I'm just reading from the Wikipedia now.

1261
01:29:46,540 --> 01:29:49,540
He joins fire or fire force company eight, which features

1262
01:29:49,540 --> 01:29:52,240
other pyrokinetics who dedicate themselves to ending infernal

1263
01:29:52,240 --> 01:29:55,440
attacks for good while investigating companies one

1264
01:29:55,440 --> 01:29:59,040
through seven for potential corruption within their ranks.

1265
01:29:59,040 --> 01:30:05,740
So it is one part in investigation of like there is some sketchy

1266
01:30:05,740 --> 01:30:08,340
stuff going on with corruption in terms of like there are some

1267
01:30:08,340 --> 01:30:09,240
secret societies.

1268
01:30:09,240 --> 01:30:11,440
There are some people withholding some information.

1269
01:30:11,440 --> 01:30:14,740
Each of these other companies is like associated with something.

1270
01:30:14,740 --> 01:30:17,940
So like company one is associated with the church.

1271
01:30:17,940 --> 01:30:23,040
Company like seven is like a research institute.

1272
01:30:23,040 --> 01:30:24,740
So like they all have a little gimmick to them.

1273
01:30:24,740 --> 01:30:29,540
Number two is the military Shinra begins to learn that fire

1274
01:30:29,540 --> 01:30:31,940
that killed his mother was a cover for show being taken by

1275
01:30:31,940 --> 01:30:35,040
the white clad a doomsday cult behind the internal attacks

1276
01:30:35,040 --> 01:30:38,240
with agents within the facet of the Tokyo Empire.

1277
01:30:38,240 --> 01:30:39,340
So conspiracy.

1278
01:30:39,340 --> 01:30:43,040
They also have to just sometimes, you know, save people from

1279
01:30:43,040 --> 01:30:46,040
the pirate air like the infernals, which are like the people

1280
01:30:46,040 --> 01:30:48,040
that turn into fire guys.

1281
01:30:48,040 --> 01:30:49,540
I like it quite a bit.

1282
01:30:49,540 --> 01:30:51,040
I think it takes everything.

1283
01:30:51,040 --> 01:30:52,640
You know, the world building is pretty good.

1284
01:30:52,640 --> 01:30:55,840
I think they take the way they handle religion is pretty nice

1285
01:30:55,840 --> 01:30:59,240
in that they, you know, it's both the Catholic Church is evil,

1286
01:30:59,240 --> 01:31:00,940
which like, you know, always love a story where the Catholic

1287
01:31:00,940 --> 01:31:01,340
Church is.

1288
01:31:01,340 --> 01:31:07,340
But also like takes seriously, you know, the faith of the people

1289
01:31:07,340 --> 01:31:08,640
that are in it, right?

1290
01:31:08,640 --> 01:31:10,840
So it's not even like, oh, well, you're just dumb for thinking

1291
01:31:10,840 --> 01:31:11,340
this thing.

1292
01:31:11,340 --> 01:31:14,040
It's like, you know, this has utility for believing the stuff.

1293
01:31:14,040 --> 01:31:18,640
You can believe things outside of the shortcomings of the,

1294
01:31:18,640 --> 01:31:20,740
you know, organization around it.

1295
01:31:20,740 --> 01:31:24,740
So even though the church of soul may not be, you know,

1296
01:31:24,740 --> 01:31:27,540
maybe corrupted, you can still have like a religious faith.

1297
01:31:27,540 --> 01:31:28,540
That means something to you.

1298
01:31:28,540 --> 01:31:30,140
So I think it's treated pretty well.

1299
01:31:30,140 --> 01:31:35,240
I guess disclaimers for this show as a character named Tamaki

1300
01:31:35,240 --> 01:31:36,540
who I like.

1301
01:31:36,540 --> 01:31:38,640
She's like, she ends up being a fan service thing.

1302
01:31:39,340 --> 01:31:40,140
It's not great.

1303
01:31:40,140 --> 01:31:40,840
It's pretty bad.

1304
01:31:40,840 --> 01:31:41,640
I don't like it.

1305
01:31:42,640 --> 01:31:44,440
The characters in the show don't like it.

1306
01:31:45,040 --> 01:31:46,540
She is a catfire lady.

1307
01:31:46,640 --> 01:31:47,740
I think her power is cool.

1308
01:31:47,740 --> 01:31:49,040
I wish she got more to do.

1309
01:31:49,240 --> 01:31:50,440
They're going to have a new season soon.

1310
01:31:50,440 --> 01:31:54,240
Hopefully she'll have more to do, but I, you know, a dog by

1311
01:31:54,240 --> 01:31:54,540
that.

1312
01:31:54,540 --> 01:31:58,540
Like a freaking bikini top and just falls off all the time.

1313
01:31:58,540 --> 01:31:58,940
Right?

1314
01:31:59,440 --> 01:32:00,040
Yes.

1315
01:32:00,240 --> 01:32:00,940
Thank you.

1316
01:32:01,340 --> 01:32:02,540
It's very tacky.

1317
01:32:02,540 --> 01:32:03,640
I think it's bad.

1318
01:32:04,140 --> 01:32:06,440
Most of the other fans I see online also think of the

1319
01:32:06,440 --> 01:32:06,940
thing as bad.

1320
01:32:06,940 --> 01:32:08,840
So I don't know why this is happening, but it is.

1321
01:32:09,540 --> 01:32:10,340
That's one disclaimer.

1322
01:32:10,340 --> 01:32:12,740
The other disclaimer is that there's some localization stuff

1323
01:32:12,740 --> 01:32:15,240
where there's a couple of black characters.

1324
01:32:15,240 --> 01:32:17,540
They get called some stuff that is not the greatest of all

1325
01:32:17,540 --> 01:32:17,940
times.

1326
01:32:18,740 --> 01:32:21,040
I wouldn't have localized it that way, but they did.

1327
01:32:21,040 --> 01:32:24,540
So I mean, they're drawn well.

1328
01:32:24,540 --> 01:32:26,240
Like the thing is like they have a couple of black characters

1329
01:32:26,240 --> 01:32:29,940
that are drawn like well, which is not a given an anime

1330
01:32:30,440 --> 01:32:34,740
because anime can be kind of racist against dark skinned

1331
01:32:34,740 --> 01:32:36,840
people in the way they talk about.

1332
01:32:36,840 --> 01:32:39,740
You can look at Mr. Popo from Dragon Ball Z.

1333
01:32:39,740 --> 01:32:44,040
If you want to an example of bad drawings, these guys are

1334
01:32:44,040 --> 01:32:46,040
drawn cool and like, you know, they look pretty cool, but

1335
01:32:46,040 --> 01:32:50,640
yeah, some of the stuff they say should take another pass

1336
01:32:50,640 --> 01:32:51,240
at that.

1337
01:32:51,340 --> 01:32:53,140
Oh, like say you're tight.

1338
01:32:53,340 --> 01:32:53,840
Okay.

1339
01:32:54,040 --> 01:32:56,440
They call one of the black characters are like a gorilla

1340
01:32:56,740 --> 01:33:01,840
over and over again, which like, you know, like the power

1341
01:33:01,840 --> 01:33:04,940
that has the connotation in Japanese won't know he's like

1342
01:33:04,940 --> 01:33:06,440
a because he's like a super strong guy.

1343
01:33:06,440 --> 01:33:08,740
He's like an endurance guy like he takes hits and then he

1344
01:33:08,740 --> 01:33:10,840
gets dishes them back out, which is like very cool.

1345
01:33:10,840 --> 01:33:13,340
He's a very cool character, but they keep calling him that

1346
01:33:13,340 --> 01:33:17,740
and I'm like, man, you should do that in the localization.

1347
01:33:17,740 --> 01:33:18,640
Come on.

1348
01:33:18,840 --> 01:33:22,240
You know, yeah, the people localizing should know better.

1349
01:33:22,940 --> 01:33:24,940
Yeah, but it's one of those things where like this character

1350
01:33:24,940 --> 01:33:25,440
is cool.

1351
01:33:25,940 --> 01:33:28,640
You guys should pay attention to what you're doing and what

1352
01:33:28,640 --> 01:33:32,140
you're saying and what you're writing because otherwise, you

1353
01:33:32,140 --> 01:33:33,040
know, it's not that bad.

1354
01:33:33,040 --> 01:33:34,940
They have another black character who's also very cool.

1355
01:33:34,940 --> 01:33:36,740
He'd like right skateboard around in his life.

1356
01:33:36,740 --> 01:33:38,540
Yeah, I think that's the one I remember.

1357
01:33:39,140 --> 01:33:39,940
Yeah, he's cool.

1358
01:33:39,940 --> 01:33:41,840
I don't think I don't think anything sketchy happens with

1359
01:33:41,840 --> 01:33:42,140
him.

1360
01:33:42,140 --> 01:33:44,740
But again, you know, stuff like that where it's like almost

1361
01:33:44,740 --> 01:33:47,640
nailed it almost had it, but you just got to include this

1362
01:33:47,640 --> 01:33:48,240
stuff.

1363
01:33:50,240 --> 01:33:51,940
Anyway, I like Fire Force quite a bit.

1364
01:33:51,940 --> 01:33:54,040
Otherwise I wouldn't give so many disclaimers for it.

1365
01:33:54,540 --> 01:33:56,040
This is how I describe things I like.

1366
01:33:56,940 --> 01:33:57,940
The opening is pretty good.

1367
01:33:57,940 --> 01:33:59,040
I like the uniforms.

1368
01:33:59,040 --> 01:34:00,340
I like the fire powers.

1369
01:34:00,540 --> 01:34:02,640
It's a show that like cares about the side characters.

1370
01:34:02,640 --> 01:34:03,640
It's not going to be like

1371
01:34:04,940 --> 01:34:07,040
Jujutsu Kaisen where it's like, oh, look, there's all these

1372
01:34:07,040 --> 01:34:08,840
side characters and then they just get like owned.

1373
01:34:08,840 --> 01:34:10,240
And that's the last time you ever see them.

1374
01:34:10,740 --> 01:34:12,640
The show actually cares about his side characters.

1375
01:34:13,040 --> 01:34:13,940
And that makes it fun.

1376
01:34:14,540 --> 01:34:16,840
Unlike freaking Star Wars.

1377
01:34:17,540 --> 01:34:18,740
The Hackeleit.

1378
01:34:19,540 --> 01:34:20,340
Yeah, Hackeleit.

1379
01:34:20,340 --> 01:34:21,940
We're just becoming a different show.

1380
01:34:21,940 --> 01:34:22,740
Halfway through.

1381
01:34:23,540 --> 01:34:24,140
Yeah.

1382
01:34:24,940 --> 01:34:25,540
Oh, my God.

1383
01:34:25,540 --> 01:34:29,040
Okay, I am going to recommend a dating sim.

1384
01:34:30,540 --> 01:34:36,440
So probably a lot of gals and guys who enjoy show Joe play

1385
01:34:36,440 --> 01:34:39,040
visual novel dating sims.

1386
01:34:40,640 --> 01:34:43,640
This one is a Korean one, which there aren't that many that

1387
01:34:43,640 --> 01:34:47,440
have been translated officially to English that are Korean

1388
01:34:47,440 --> 01:34:51,040
made, but this is a by the developer called Sherrods.

1389
01:34:51,040 --> 01:34:54,240
And they have made this game.

1390
01:34:54,840 --> 01:34:58,240
It's called the end of land wishes brought to you.

1391
01:34:59,040 --> 01:35:01,440
And it's the first one that they made that I played this came

1392
01:35:01,440 --> 01:35:05,640
out like my freshman year of college.

1393
01:35:06,040 --> 01:35:08,240
And it was pretty nice because at that time it was mostly

1394
01:35:08,240 --> 01:35:12,740
a lot of shitty like phone games that weren't as good

1395
01:35:12,740 --> 01:35:16,240
quality before we were getting a ton of them.

1396
01:35:16,240 --> 01:35:19,440
Like now several of them are in the game.

1397
01:35:19,440 --> 01:35:24,040
Now several good ones come out every year, but before it was

1398
01:35:24,040 --> 01:35:28,140
like the same one would just get reported to like the new

1399
01:35:28,140 --> 01:35:29,640
consoles and it was really annoying.

1400
01:35:30,140 --> 01:35:35,440
But this one is a PC game and I'll just read the little all

1401
01:35:35,440 --> 01:35:37,040
those kind of bad description.

1402
01:35:38,740 --> 01:35:40,340
Actually, this is oh wait, no, here we go.

1403
01:35:40,340 --> 01:35:40,640
Okay.

1404
01:35:41,040 --> 01:35:41,640
Story.

1405
01:35:42,140 --> 01:35:46,240
He's young Kim moved out from her mom's house who is obsessed

1406
01:35:46,240 --> 01:35:47,640
with her education.

1407
01:35:47,640 --> 01:35:49,940
She tries to find her real.

1408
01:35:50,640 --> 01:35:52,940
I'm trying to find her real dream life.

1409
01:35:52,940 --> 01:35:53,240
Okay.

1410
01:35:53,240 --> 01:35:54,440
Maybe there's some weird translation.

1411
01:35:54,440 --> 01:36:02,040
Basically this chick is in college and she yeah, has like

1412
01:36:02,040 --> 01:36:02,840
a strange relationship.

1413
01:36:02,840 --> 01:36:05,540
Kind of like Kiyoko with her mom being like you better get

1414
01:36:05,540 --> 01:36:08,940
good grades or else I won't love you kind of thing.

1415
01:36:10,240 --> 01:36:16,540
And she happens upon like this basket of little animals and

1416
01:36:16,540 --> 01:36:21,440
she decides to take them home with her and it turns out

1417
01:36:21,740 --> 01:36:27,140
they're not animals that they're I'm going to replay this.

1418
01:36:27,140 --> 01:36:34,040
It's like, but basically they're hot dudes and like from a

1419
01:36:34,040 --> 01:36:39,340
different realm or whatever and it's kind of like a life

1420
01:36:39,340 --> 01:36:41,440
sim like where you have stats.

1421
01:36:41,440 --> 01:36:45,040
You have to maintain stuff as well and you can like fail the

1422
01:36:45,040 --> 01:36:49,140
story if you haven't raised certain steps to get to certain

1423
01:36:49,140 --> 01:36:50,140
like plot lines.

1424
01:36:52,040 --> 01:36:57,840
But like it's gorgeous and the they have an opening for it

1425
01:36:57,840 --> 01:36:59,340
and that's really good as well.

1426
01:36:59,340 --> 01:37:04,940
And they have a couple other games nameless which I don't

1427
01:37:04,940 --> 01:37:07,640
like the art style as much and then they have the most popular

1428
01:37:07,640 --> 01:37:10,440
thing they've made is a Christ.

1429
01:37:10,440 --> 01:37:11,140
What is that name?

1430
01:37:11,140 --> 01:37:18,740
That's a game mystic messenger which is a phone game and

1431
01:37:18,740 --> 01:37:23,040
basically it's like you have all these characters as if they're

1432
01:37:23,040 --> 01:37:26,240
contacting you on your phone where you get like notifications

1433
01:37:26,240 --> 01:37:28,240
that they've sent you a message and blah blah blah and the

1434
01:37:28,240 --> 01:37:33,840
story unfolds under that kind of presentation and they even

1435
01:37:33,840 --> 01:37:36,040
have a female character you can romance in that one.

1436
01:37:36,040 --> 01:37:38,240
So there's a little bit of Yuri for you.

1437
01:37:38,240 --> 01:37:43,640
There's not very many or at least not that I am like that's

1438
01:37:43,640 --> 01:37:48,840
familiar with boys love or girls love ones but isn't as many

1439
01:37:48,840 --> 01:37:52,240
that are like officially translated of good quality.

1440
01:37:52,240 --> 01:37:57,040
So it's a little bit there but yeah, the underlying wishes

1441
01:37:57,040 --> 01:37:57,740
brought to you.

1442
01:37:57,740 --> 01:38:01,040
There's even a free demo on steam if you want to try that.

1443
01:38:02,840 --> 01:38:03,840
But yeah, it's really pretty.

1444
01:38:03,840 --> 01:38:04,540
It's really cute.

1445
01:38:04,540 --> 01:38:08,340
It's like cozy and heartwarming and I just remember it was

1446
01:38:08,340 --> 01:38:11,140
like a snow day when I first got it and my friends were like

1447
01:38:11,140 --> 01:38:13,940
hey come outside and let's hang out in the snow.

1448
01:38:13,940 --> 01:38:16,640
I was like oh I just got this new game I got to play.

1449
01:38:17,240 --> 01:38:20,440
So it's good enough to keep me from socializing not that that

1450
01:38:20,440 --> 01:38:24,340
takes very much I guess but yeah that's our recommendations

1451
01:38:24,340 --> 01:38:26,740
this week Joe is five stars.

I don't know if we learned anything.

1475
01:39:27,140 --> 01:39:31,640

Don't let people call you milky.

1481
01:39:44,040 --> 01:39:44,740
That's terrible.

1482
01:39:46,740 --> 01:39:50,940
I won't even say the word milky around you because it sounds

1483
01:39:50,940 --> 01:39:51,440
bad.

1484
01:39:53,740 --> 01:39:54,040

Yeah.

1491
01:40:02,240 --> 01:40:03,440
Supposed to respect your elders.

1492
01:40:03,440 --> 01:40:04,840
You should be owning this kid.

1493
01:40:04,840 --> 01:40:05,240
Come on.

1494
01:40:05,240 --> 01:40:06,040

He's a six.

1497
01:40:07,740 --> 01:40:09,840
Don't let a 16 year old talk down to you.

1498
01:40:09,840 --> 01:40:10,540
He's 16.

1499

Yeah.

1509
01:40:24,440 --> 01:40:27,440
Unless like they it's poison in which case they poisoned you.

1510
01:40:27,940 --> 01:40:28,840
You should get that out.

1511
01:40:29,340 --> 01:40:30,140
You've been poisoned.

1512
01:40:30,140 --> 01:40:30,540
Hey.

1513
01:40:31,340 --> 01:40:31,740
All right.

1514
01:40:31,740 --> 01:40:32,840
You're giving out all the poison.

1515
01:40:32,840 --> 01:40:33,440
Bye.

1516
01:40:36,640 --> 01:40:37,240
