1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:19,280
Welcome back to Shojo everyone. Let's see we've got our veteran listeners who know what's

2
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:25,440
going on here and if you're by chance new and this is the episode you choose to start

3
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:32,320
with welcome and I hope you can comprehend what happens here. May you just support us.

4
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:33,320
Yeah.

5
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:37,480
There's only two episodes this time so you're not getting the full experience of the three

6
00:00:37,480 --> 00:00:40,360
episodes skitbeat. That's right. Yes.

7
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:47,280
We are nearing the end of skitbeat. Next episode will be our last coverage of it.

8
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:58,240
So we'll have to enjoy our remaining time with Kyoko and Ren and the gang. I'm your

9
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:02,960
host Sarah. So I'm by my friend Joe. Hello.

10
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:07,560
So put in the Joe and Shojo. I'm Shojo.

11
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:08,560
Yeah.

12
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:09,560
Shojo.

13
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:10,560
That's right.

14
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:21,000
Yes. So we'll get into that. But first boy oh boy do we have stuff to catch up on.

15
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,400
Has anything happened.

16
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,560
Has anything important happened in the last

17
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,560
time that we've been looking forward to for months perhaps.

18
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,640
Yes. Yes.

19
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:38,960
Dragon Age the Vale Guard. I feel like they could drop the the the the the the Vale Guard

20
00:01:38,960 --> 00:01:43,720
which is dumb. So whatever I've been calling it Dragon Age Vale Guard because that sounds

21
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:47,440
better. But yeah I came out.

22
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:48,440
What's it like.

23
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:55,720
It came out on the 31st. I did. Let's see. I think I had a yeah so that's why I did.

24
00:01:55,720 --> 00:02:06,040
I stayed at home alone playing Dragon Age streaming. I did I think a 31 hour stream

25
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:13,440
of which I did sleep for part of it. I slept in longer than anticipated in fact.

26
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:22,480
But I am liking the new game. Like it's the best combat out of the series so far because

27
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:27,440
I think it's unfortunate that's coming out like not that long and Baldur's Gate is still

28
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:34,320
in the minds of a lot of people. So like Baldur's Gate is a much more like a classic kind of

29
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:41,520
RPG experience whereas this is a bit more like more consumable probably for people more

30
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,520
approachable.

31
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:48,440
So is this is this the the game where that was the big departure. Like is this where

32
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:53,200
they started being more like action RPG as opposed to like turn based kind of thing because

33
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,160
I played Origin a little bit and that was more turn based.

34
00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:02,160
Yes. I mean so for the most part I don't remember if Dragon Age 2 had this but for the most

35
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:10,840
part Origin Inquisition you could either play it where you like did time based attacks where

36
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:17,760
you like pause time assigned actions and then play time and they would play out which I never

37
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:23,360
did because I wasn't ever playing at like a hard enough difficulty where that would have

38
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:32,560
been worth it. But none of them no Dragon Age game has ever been like the same as the

39
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:39,480
previous entry. They've all been very distinct games. So I think the first one came out in

40
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:49,280
2009. It's 2024 now and the biggest gap was between Inquisition in like 2013 maybe and

41
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:56,280
then now Vale Guard. So which is good because like when they did Dragon Age 2 they only

42
00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:05,080
had two years to do it from Origin which you know resulted in some issues there but I still

43
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:11,560
enjoyed it. Inquisition I would say is probably like some things are improvements obviously

44
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:18,200
like a newer game will have like better visuals and this and that and a better character creator

45
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:24,160
and stuff but then it's like a very tedious game to play because it's like right after

46
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:30,680
Skyrim came out so Bioware for some reason trying to open world they did this with Andromeda

47
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:38,040
as well. Oh God I hate that so much. Yes where it's like it's not fully open world in the

48
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:43,880
way that some people like so it's not fully that but it's also taking away from what their

49
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:51,120
player base wants which is a more like narrative focused game. So like it's I only ever played

50
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:56,360
through Inquisition twice the very first time and then my replay right before this one because

51
00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:00,760
it's such a pain in the ass to play because there's so much like side crap and like collectibles

52
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:11,280
and shit and so this so far I have played about 26 hours of Vale Guard but yeah so gameplay

53
00:05:11,280 --> 00:05:17,760
good world exploration a lot more focused even when it's not like the main plot it feels

54
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:26,320
like it is related so it feels like everything you're doing has value and now oh my God Leucanus

55
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:32,480
the guy that I thought I was gonna romance I haven't we're not at that phase in our relationship

56
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:42,960
yet but he is hot hot hot uh huh yeah so oh man I'm excited for that and yeah the campaign

57
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:48,400
question yes so are you the veil who is the veil guard is it you are you fighting them

58
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:54,640
are you joining them I think we're the veil guard although at the point in the game I'm

59
00:05:54,640 --> 00:06:01,760
at we that term has not been used at all because I'm still assembling the team but okay the veil

60
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:09,280
basically there's something called the fade which most people can only enter through their dreams

61
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:17,440
but the fade is like yeah but the fade used to be what the entire world was like with like demons

62
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:24,640
and stuff like that but then this one uh or this thing happened and that got closed off and then

63
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:32,560
the veil is like the protective barrier around the fade uh so it's like an in-between world kind of

64
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:39,760
and then there's like the reality that everyone knows um so if you're maintaining the separation

65
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:45,600
yes because then basically if we go back there's the fade takes over demons everywhere

66
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:53,280
everyone's gonna die pretty much um so like that's what we're fighting so just like demons are bad

67
00:06:53,280 --> 00:06:59,760
like uniformly like they're never really like any cool demons there's spirits and then there and

68
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:07,120
the demons are like corrupted spirits so because also there's like spirits of wisdom or spirit of

69
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:17,120
chaos and so like some of them are more likely to you know turn um but that's like what we're

70
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:25,680
guarding against um and yeah I'm playing as an elf rogue from the shed because you get to pick

71
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:31,280
factions as like part of your origin as a character because each companion you have is from a different

72
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:37,120
faction and those factions are like groups that you'll have to like build relationships with and

73
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:46,080
stuff like that um and so it's like cool your character gets a bit more um you know background

74
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:56,000
story to reference and use those ties and conversation um let's see yeah I don't I mean my

75
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:03,520
character super cute you saw her last night on my stream I'm yeah huge bow huge bow and arrow

76
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:10,080
set enormous what are we in monster hunter yeah yes the bows are a little bulky I don't like the

77
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:15,600
way they look but I've only found a few and luckily this game has where if you find something you can

78
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:22,480
then use the appearance of it even if it's not what you have equipped so like lots of like

79
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:30,880
considerations for players to look that way they want not limited by the staffs of equipment and

80
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:35,520
you don't and like the equipment system is way better because now you don't have to like sell

81
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:40,480
equipment like basically you once you acquire equipment if you acquire more of that same one

82
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:47,360
then it like levels it up so um okay you don't have to worry about like constantly being or

83
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:53,760
selling a bunch of stuff you're not going to use or and you know your companions and uh so like it

84
00:08:53,760 --> 00:09:01,280
just feels like there's a lot of quality of life things in this that I appreciate um so I mean I'm

85
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:08,320
assuming some people will like bash this game just because it's EA even though in my opinion it is

86
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:15,200
an improvement upon inquisition um so but I'm hoping yeah I mean it does well I mean it seems to have

87
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:23,120
done pretty well right um I was a streaming editor yeah that's true yeah because it was kind of like

88
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:29,840
a maker break right as I've mentioned that with and drama then no anthem Bioware made this game

89
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:38,320
anthem oh I don't even want to think that that was reality or they made that but like a total flop

90
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:44,560
because EA wanted like a like a cooperative multiplayer blah blah blah so Bioware is the one

91
00:09:44,560 --> 00:09:50,960
they tasked with that that turned out bad because that's not what Bioware does so Bioware has been

92
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:56,880
like on you know treading water for some time especially it because before anthem it was

93
00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:02,400
mass spectrometer which a lot of people is like mixed because it had the same issues that inquisition

94
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:07,520
had where it's like an open world but like not one that I really want to spend that much time

95
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:16,400
collecting random things for and so I think it's an improvement and hopefully people have a little

96
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:21,280
bit of faith restoring on Bioware because they are doing another mass effect game so hopefully that

97
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:28,400
is a big improvement as well it's tough because mass effect still holds up like it's a great game so

98
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:35,440
it's kind of like setting yourself up for failure trying to make more games in a series that people

99
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:41,040
love so much and don't want the reputation well this is this yeah this is kind of the problem for

100
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:46,480
all I mean video games are at a weird state like as an industry right now um and I feel like a lot of

101
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:55,840
studios are doing like sequels after a long time and I don't know like did you end up liking did

102
00:10:55,840 --> 00:11:02,720
you finish Love the Life is Strange sequel uh no I okay we'll go around to it eventually okay I've

103
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:09,680
heard kind of mixed things about yeah that game and I know that studio actually got shut down

104
00:11:09,680 --> 00:11:18,000
on or something by Sony recently based on something I mean again like sometimes I mean you

105
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:22,240
know like the studio that made Hi-Fi Rush they made a quickly a famed game and then got shut

106
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,760
down anyway right so it's like none of this stuff is really linked to how successful you are it's

107
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:33,840
kind of just a huge mess um so it's it's hard to know um I mean that being said you know coming

108
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,960
back and doing like quality life improvements because that was really the issue when I played

109
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:42,320
Dragon Age Origins or whatever I played yeah was like there's so much inventory management

110
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:47,840
and all this stuff I just don't care about and like I well I also personally do not like open

111
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:52,480
world games because I feel like it just fills it with a lot of stuff that you end up having to do

112
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:59,040
which is mostly just a waste of time um so it's it sounds like they knew what they were doing

113
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:04,560
with this game at least or had like a vision of what's supposed to play as yeah it does feel like

114
00:12:04,560 --> 00:12:11,840
the pacing feels different so it's like it's like constantly like turned on like there's not I don't

115
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:17,360
know it just feels like everything is propelling the plot so it's like there's no like okay now I

116
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:22,320
take it easy blah blah blah which I guess I'm just used to like okay now this is the part where

117
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:30,080
oh so it's like back to back thing I just like yeah I mean so there's been no lulls so far there's

118
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:35,440
no like oh this part was boring blah blah blah which is good it's also giving me anxiety though

119
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:40,000
because like I'm like am I just burning through this game like how how much time do I have in this

120
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:49,280
game uh yeah but I will enjoy replaying it and playing a different class with different like

121
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:57,840
faction and stuff um you can go back and like alter a lot of appearance and stuff which is how much

122
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:02,560
how much like uh dude like do the decisions make differences right because it sounds like high level

123
00:13:02,560 --> 00:13:06,480
you're kind of doing the aragorn from lord of the rings thing where you're going around to all the

124
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:10,960
different factions and trying to get them to all like work together so you can stop the big army

125
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:17,920
or whatever is it kind of like that um yeah kind of well because you have your companion and then

126
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:24,400
basically you recruit every companion and then you like establish a connection with that companion

127
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:32,080
faction and then there's like levels of trust or you know one you like there's different elements

128
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:38,160
that increase like you're standing with that faction such as like upgrading their merchant and

129
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:48,160
you know doing quests within their region and then like I just had to make a decision that was like

130
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:55,360
sucky either way so it's like the way out like what companion is going to be affected

131
00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:02,560
and what faction is basically I had to make a call where it's like okay I can only save or I can

132
00:14:02,560 --> 00:14:08,560
only help save one thing so whichever one I don't pick is going to be like rough shape afterwards

133
00:14:08,560 --> 00:14:17,760
and so I like have a significantly lower um standing with the group I didn't pick now uh

134
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:25,920
and the character from that faction in my party is like not not accessible now because she's

135
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:34,640
busy like trying to help fix things in that area that got ruined so and she's like she has a state

136
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:41,440
called like hardened now where she I think she's like distrustful of you and like so certain abilities

137
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:47,600
like abilities that are healing she can't use on me now but like abilities that would be

138
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:57,920
uh reinforced by like intense negativity such as like attacks are like powered up

139
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:04,080
yeah so that's interesting so is it but does it mostly seem like I'm gonna guess you're not at the

140
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:08,320
end of the game but is it mostly seem like the faction stuff is more about how your companions

141
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:13,200
interact with you like is it more of personal stakes or does it seem like if you mess up the

142
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:17,440
factions you're not gonna win at the end like you're not gonna be able to something like that

143
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:26,480
like in the very first dragon age game you as a gray warden you're like calling on old alliances

144
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:32,640
to fight the blight and so depending how it goes like you'll have different people fighting and

145
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:39,440
like the the final uh like battle whatever level but I'm just saying it's something like that like

146
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,520
it doesn't like alter the state because like this is the mass effect thing right like in mass effect

147
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:47,440
you have to do a similar thing but it's all about your companions and like your companions

148
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:51,200
close to you like you still fight the flash bot like the last battle no matter what it doesn't

149
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:57,360
really matter who you've aligned with like story wise at the end because it all ends the same way

150
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:02,960
yeah I'm not sure I was wondering like the area that there are stakes

151
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:11,120
like environmentally there's changes like the area that got hit hard is like I'm having to

152
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:16,720
redefine travel points and stuff because the landscape has been affected from the destruction

153
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:24,560
and so like the world itself has been affected by the decisions and I don't know we'll just have to

154
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:32,320
see um yeah I was trying to do all the side quests that I can first before I do any plot

155
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:39,200
stuff so I think I'm just doing everything right now at this point okay yeah I'm not as far in the

156
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:43,840
story okay but what are you gonna say I was just I was wondering like are you making decisions based

157
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:48,320
off of like which companions you like and want to like get to know better or are you doing it based

158
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:53,600
off of like actually coalition building like I don't have any artillery guys they have all the

159
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:58,560
artillery I should be prioritizing those guys even though my companion wants me to do something like

160
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:04,000
is it like personally or is it all just like yeah this guy's cool so I'm going with them

161
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:11,520
no yeah well no I picked based off like what companion I wanted to like me even though I

162
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:18,160
basically is choosing between the guy that I'm interested in pursuing and saving his hometown

163
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:23,440
and then it just so happened that the faction I chose was the other hometowns of my hometown

164
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:30,000
versus this and I was like nice sorry sorry past I got this hottie that I got interested

165
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:37,760
oh wow so now my faction that I'm originally from is like how could you do this to us like

166
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:48,400
oops you considered being down bad but in my defense it was like okay his it's like okay this

167
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:54,880
is a merchant city and they don't have like a militant force to protect them versus the other

168
00:17:54,880 --> 00:18:00,400
one they do have like almost I'm from like a vigilante group and there's like the reigning

169
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:07,840
government is like powerful mages so like in theory they have more defenses than this this one that's

170
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:12,160
more civilian so it's their fault like they just how come you guys couldn't defend this this is like

171
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:18,720
your whole that's right that's right we both have the same task at hand I don't know but also they

172
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:26,240
kicked me out yeah whatever oh well they couldn't defend themselves anyway so who cares yeah you know

173
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:32,640
so yeah like certain characters are now injured and like okay yeah so it affects that kind of

174
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:37,680
stuff all right I was wondering about how that played out all right let's go so far liking it

175
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:47,760
I'm gonna right now I'd give it at least eight out of ten um maybe nine but so I'm really enjoying

176
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:54,880
it so yeah that's that's what I've been up to have a year Joe um I've been also playing video games

177
00:18:54,880 --> 00:19:01,440
I've been playing the Callisto protocol as like my one of my scarier games which is like a space horror

178
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:07,280
game because I love space horror I really liked I liked alien isolation a lot I like to pray a lot

179
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:13,840
space horror is good um this game is very like cinematic like they did the thing where you know

180
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,840
they'd like scanned an actor's face or whatever so it's like they have a lot of good cut scenes and

181
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:25,200
things like that uh gameplay wise it's a little confusing to play uh a lot of the game is I mean

182
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:29,760
you know it's like a uh inventory management kind of horror game right so it's like you have some

183
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:35,520
guns you have like six inventory slots you can carry ammo you can carry um health items you can carry

184
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,600
valuable stuff you can sell to upgrade your weapons and things like that right so you're

185
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:44,800
always kind of doing those trade-offs uh that being said they really minimized the HUD right so like

186
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:50,080
you can't see like your health very easily you're like it's on the back of your neck it's like they're

187
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:57,200
they're more like in in story kind of uh things there and not a lot of like icons and things that

188
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:01,520
show up which is nice cinematically but also makes the game kind of hard to play because

189
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:05,520
it's not that clear when things are attacking you and the camera is like it's third person right like

190
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:10,960
over the shoulder but it's also kind of close to you so I will just get hit by stuff outside of the

191
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:16,400
camera view and I can't exactly turn the camera really quick so it kind of feels like a mess to

192
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:22,720
play a little bit it's not in like the early games like Silent Hill it's like the limitations were

193
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:31,040
kind of advantageous to the um feel of the game kind of like I I don't exactly feel like it's

194
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:35,440
like that like the thing going on with Silent Hill is that you can see everything but your character

195
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:40,240
response like your ability to control your character is like much more limited because the types of

196
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,600
like the control layout was a little weird right and that was kind of on purpose because it's like

197
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:47,600
it's not supposed to be kind of responsive it's supposed to be a little bit tense this feels a

198
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:52,640
little more like I'm just getting hit by stuff outside of the screen and I kind of feel like I

199
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:57,440
just couldn't really do anything but take that hit and so it ends up being a little more irritating

200
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:03,680
than it does like nerve racking particularly um which is kind of annoying I mean ultimately it

201
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:09,200
doesn't matter that much because the game isn't too terribly difficult uh but it does feel like a

202
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:15,360
lot of like combat sequences especially because this game has a lot of combat sequences don't go

203
00:21:15,360 --> 00:21:22,640
very well because it's really hard for me to tell what's going on not because like I couldn't I didn't

204
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:27,520
like react in time you know what I mean so but I mean ultimately like it's still it's like it looks

205
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:31,120
great it's still pretty fun to play like most of the interactions are pretty good there's just like

206
00:21:31,120 --> 00:21:34,240
you know a couple of things that are weird the other big problem is that they don't give you a

207
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:40,080
map and I get lost all the time and like the guy the character moves kind of slow so you know there's

208
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:46,080
a lot of like small polish things I think this is the same studio that made the dead space that dead

209
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:51,360
space maybe the dead space remake and like having played dead space fairly recently the original

210
00:21:51,360 --> 00:21:56,080
not the remake that game just controls and feels a lot better than this one so it's kind of like a

211
00:21:56,080 --> 00:22:00,880
trade-off of like cinematic you know because in dead space you have some HUD stuff you have like

212
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:04,800
objectives appearing at the top of your screen and that kind of thing and this one you don't and I

213
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:11,520
feel like it kind of suffers because of it a little bit at least playing it you know I'm playing

214
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:15,840
it for people right so I'm streaming it so like some of my friends and they like how it looks

215
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:23,200
so it looks great it's just the being behind the wheel that's a bit more yeah and you know if I

216
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:29,440
play it for too long I start to get annoyed by like how much stuff is like that the quality of

217
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:35,120
life stuff catches up to me if I play it for too long and it starts to bother me that being said

218
00:22:35,120 --> 00:22:39,360
you know I played like six hours it's pretty good I am enjoying it it moves pretty quick

219
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:44,880
even though the combat isn't super satisfying I like the environments a lot I like space horror

220
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:50,480
space horror is just good you know I love a weird space station on a planet where it's snowing and

221
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:55,840
you got to wear a you got to wear a suit to walk outside that's just great I just love that death

222
00:22:55,840 --> 00:23:02,960
stranding or what I didn't play death stranding I need to um that game I know is a lot of walking

223
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:11,280
yeah it yeah um cool uh yeah so I played that um what else am I doing I feel like you talked for

224
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:18,080
a long time so I should talk for a long time too um I'm watching so I've been watching so I still

225
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:23,920
have Netflix what we got for uh keep me needs to keep me to okay right and I'm watching so now I'm

226
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:29,680
like catching up because I didn't have it for like forever right yeah yeah um so I am watching the an

227
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:40,720
anime um a Chinese cartoon anime called scissor seven uh about a some guy whose name is seven

228
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:50,400
who is like a haircut kind of a like deadbeat goofy kind of guy um who used to be a like

229
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:56,560
killer assassin but like lost his memories after some stuff happened to him that's not entirely

230
00:23:56,560 --> 00:24:01,840
sure to me what it is um and it's very goofy the first couple seasons are very goofy I'm on like

231
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:07,680
season three or four or something and so it kind of escalates in terms of the stakes but at the very

232
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:14,160
beginning it's just like about this kind of goofy guy who's like best friend is a chicken and the

233
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:18,320
chicken is telling him to become an assassin so they can make money because they're broke so he's

234
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:24,880
trying to be an assassin with his like scissors he has to cut people's hair but he's not very good

235
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:29,280
at it and it's just like a a lot of like comedy stuff with it there's like a nice cast of characters

236
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:34,800
that he meets over time um and then it really escalates with the whole you were actually an

237
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:39,520
assassin backstory thing and now people are coming back and there's demon blades and stuff like that

238
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:44,240
it's pretty cool um I'm having a good time with it it's just like a show I can put on the episodes

239
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:50,000
are super short they're like 10 12 minutes right so it's like adventure time length episodes so it's

240
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:55,040
just like a nice thing I can just like sneak one in whenever I got nothing to do so uh I've been

241
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:59,920
having a pretty good time with that pretty good action show you know okay so have you watched

242
00:24:59,920 --> 00:25:09,440
Bridgerton have I watched Bridgerton yeah that's a Netflix series yeah aren't the episodes like

243
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:16,000
an hour and forever long but no I'm probably never gonna watch it I'm sorry if I'm gonna watch an

244
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:22,400
hour long drama I need to watch the Sopranos or something I haven't watched that either um is that

245
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:29,440
like the the Victorian era romance thing or whatever a little funny I don't think I'm gonna

246
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:35,520
watch that I don't that's like my favorite time period like I watched Downton Abbey for a while

247
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:39,920
and I'm like this is fine I guess but I do not like that time period I don't like like old time

248
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:52,400
England I think it sucks hmm well probably just reet and oh god Regency era yeah um is it just like

249
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:57,760
the is it like a what is it is there like a bright like a wider plot or is it more like a pride and

250
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:04,080
prejudice kind of thing well I haven't consumed any pride and prejudice stuff but basically

251
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:10,640
there's like this big family and each book is like focused on a different member of the family

252
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:17,440
and their love story kind of um and so like there's a fun family dynamic and then like kind of

253
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:27,840
subplots the arch between the seasons and um hot people and I don't know it's like it's not

254
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:35,440
traditional right it's not like oh a bunch of white people running the show it's like a more um I

255
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:44,480
guess like open-minded like setting than like reality uh yeah I mean like racially diverse or

256
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:51,200
like yeah because they're all still like aristocrat landowner yeah I have servants that do things for

257
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:59,120
me kind of thing right yes um yeah uh it's yeah I like isn't just like is it just like Hamilton I

258
00:26:59,120 --> 00:27:05,120
mean is it just like what if we did this but had a diverse cast that nobody really ever addressed

259
00:27:05,120 --> 00:27:14,240
is not part of the story um no it kind of is addressed the queen is black and she kind of her

260
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:22,960
ascending to that role caused a lot of this to happen um because she like is she married into

261
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:29,040
the family and so when she became the queen then that opened up more opportunities for people like

262
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,640
her okay but is that like a plot point like are they gonna we're gonna talk about race relations

263
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:37,120
here is it just like we're starting off where it's cool that black people are in power kind of like

264
00:27:37,120 --> 00:27:42,720
that yeah okay okay whatever it's fine I'm just wondering what it is no no no I mean it's fine

265
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:46,640
like that's totally fine I don't have any problem with that I'm just like is this thing that is like

266
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:52,080
is the show about that or is that just part of the setting it's just part of the setting okay um I

267
00:27:52,080 --> 00:28:00,400
mean you know that's fine I just like love stories amongst um like old time English nobility and like

268
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:08,720
landed gentry I don't really care for I think those guys are losers yeah yeah um let's see have you

269
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:12,640
I mean it's fine I just feel like the I've read too much of that like too much like classical

270
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:16,960
literature is about that stuff you know like I had to read Anna Karenina I know that's like

271
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:21,040
not in England or whatever but like it's all the same you know it just feels all the same to me

272
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:26,320
I'm just like whatever man yeah you love a guy but he's at a different social standing than you so

273
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:35,040
it's hard for you that sucks I guess whatever uh there's uh there's like a Korean series live

274
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:40,320
action zombie show that's on Netflix that you should check out that I really enjoyed it's called

275
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:45,520
all of us are dead oh I feel like I heard about that when it came out I've I've mentioned it

276
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:51,120
before on the podcast I think a while ago but I really enjoyed it so maybe check that out while

277
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:58,160
you're on it okay I don't have like a ton of time to watch stuff okay but I'll put that in the queue

278
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:03,120
you know um well because I've not been watching that much stuff I'm supposed to be reading but

279
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:10,160
I'm not reading I joined a new book club why are you four book clubs now no one of them died so I'm

280
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:14,320
back down to one more and then one of them I read along with a podcast and now I can do that at

281
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:21,360
whatever pace I want um which I am behind by many many books at this point uh so it's really only

282
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:28,880
two exciting news okay see if we ever cover Kadocha my sister loves it enough that she just bought

283
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:36,880
the whole manga set off and she does not collect manga at all but she like loves that series um

284
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:42,720
I don't know I feel like buying off eBay makes me nervous yeah I mean you know you never know

285
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:48,400
like the quality of the thing yeah but yeah so that's cool um yeah that's mostly what I've been

286
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:53,600
doing I guess you know Halloween stuff it was Halloween this week yeah I hung out with some people

287
00:29:53,600 --> 00:30:00,960
there okay look at you doing pretty good time yeah I did absolutely nothing I'm a single tricker

288
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:08,080
trader luckily because cricket would have lost her mind okay moxie and my cat is here uh I'm

289
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:15,200
freaking my eyes are just yeah we did a 30 hour stream or whatever right so you're in recovery mode

290
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:21,040
I've got like one bloodshot eye and as soon as we're done with this I'll just play more dragon age

291
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:24,880
and I'm like I'm gonna fall out of my head you don't want to recover a little more you're gonna

292
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:32,960
go right back into it yeah I'm sorry okay okay my cat my take get off the mic stop pumping the mic

293
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:39,280
okay well I guess we can get the show on the road huh let's talk about skip beat somewhat yeah yeah

294
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:43,440
yeah so we got two episodes for skip beat today uh you know we talked longer that first segment

295
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:47,840
because of dragon age and also the fact that we're only covering two episodes today so um this

296
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:54,400
segment is gonna not be as long and also to be perfectly honest these episodes not a lot goes on

297
00:30:55,520 --> 00:31:00,800
a lot of it is like plotty plot stuff that like isn't that important because the show's

298
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:05,360
gonna end in two more episodes this is the most I'm like oh they definitely did not think this

299
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:10,320
was gonna be the only season we are not setting up for the end of the season at all by the end of

300
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:15,280
these two episodes like every other show we've watched has had like build up to the final like

301
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:24,160
the season finales this is good this is no build up at all yeah oh well now watching it I'm like I

302
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:30,640
really wish they had done a second season um I know I'm surprised that nobody's like where the plot

303
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:35,440
takes off I mean what did like original fruits basket come out like I mean I feel like there

304
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:41,920
has been a sort of like world remaking old stuff yeah first like we're doing new Rama we're doing

305
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:48,240
new we're having with 2001 and that came out in 2019 so that's an 18 year difference this came out

306
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:55,840
in 20 2008 so 19 years it'd be 20 27 so in three years we should get a new skip beat is what I'm

307
00:31:55,840 --> 00:32:02,560
saying okay well I'm like this is my favorite manga and it is still coming out so it's still on

308
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:08,320
shelves so I'm like I don't know what the reception of skip beat is like I mean obviously it was good

309
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:14,560
enough that they made an anime in the first place but I don't know if there's like a fan base to me

310
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:21,920
and I don't know I don't know who calls you can carry a carry a remake I feel like the remakes are

311
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:27,200
what's good right now because like they kind of botched it the first go so like let's do it good

312
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:32,240
this time and then it's the old anime remade that is the best rather than like the new stuff coming

313
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:37,040
out for me at least well I don't think they botched the first one on any of these I mean the original

314
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:40,480
fruits basket was pretty good it just didn't have the ending because it wasn't over right

315
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:46,080
yeah I feel like it didn't follow the I don't know I haven't watched that yeah but it wasn't

316
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:51,120
it was like a full metal alchemist thing right or it wasn't done by the time it came out oh I don't

317
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:59,760
know but it wasn't as faithful I think to the manga oh and like I mean Ron Moe is like the

318
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:04,480
the old show was like big deal you know what I mean like that was very successful yeah you know

319
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:07,600
they redid sailor moon and that was incredibly successful so I don't really think it's like

320
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:14,160
the original was bad well or like it can be so much better with technology oh I absolutely do not

321
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:20,080
think those shows look better okay I mean I feel like the new fruits basket like it's more similar

322
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:25,840
to the art style of the manga um they're more slim versus I feel like in the original one they're a

323
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:34,720
lot more wide but anyways yeah I do not think I do not think it looks but I I don't think animation

324
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:39,440
has been served very well by increasing technology to be to be perfectly honest with you well not

325
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:49,280
if we're doing the damn 3d stuff yeah I mean even the 2d stuff now does not look better I mean maybe

326
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:56,000
like the effects and stuff but not the actual characters is that what she or like it takes away

327
00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:02,000
no I just think it's just not I think it allows you to cut more corners for like production wise

328
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:06,640
and that's why everybody cuts corners because these are all run by companies they don't give a

329
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:12,880
shit about art or products or anything they just want to sell stuff uh because of consolidation

330
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:21,280
and anyway capitalism bad let's talk about voice actors okay um the voice actor for president

331
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:28,400
lori who is we're getting down the list of characters in skippy is uh koji ishii uh he is the

332
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:36,960
voice of a character named damaross in the power rangers one were their pirates it's like 50 episodes

333
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:40,800
of this it's like his most popular thing because that's a that's a pretty good gig to be a power

334
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:44,800
rangers you could be in a lot of power rangers episodes yeah you know that's a that's a good

335
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:50,880
paycheck for a while he's also the voice of garter belt and panion stocking uh that's a

336
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:57,760
show I'm familiar I'm like I've never watched it pretty funny name alone yeah it's one of it's

337
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:01,760
you know it's a comedy it's like a raunchy comedy it kind of holds up for the most part a lot of

338
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:07,680
some parts do not I don't know if the character of garter belt which is kind of uh you know a bit

339
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:14,480
of a racist character a little bit with the with the big lips yeah again once again bad drawings uh

340
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:20,160
very much like a blackface character that being said the performance like the voice is pretty good

341
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:32,320
he's also asato ichijo in vampire night so we're getting some show joe yeah we're getting some show

342
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:37,520
joe here's the show joe stuff he's uh montague the voice of the montague family I don't exactly

343
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:46,000
know who that is in a in romeo ex juliet the anime not in the bozlerman movie yes it's good

344
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:53,200
it's a good one he also plays a character named yucky dorago in pretty cure for 50 episodes so I

345
00:35:53,200 --> 00:36:00,160
once again big character pretty cure is a big uh show joe franchise I didn't realize me I just

346
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:06,160
I guess it is I've been like oh yeah I pump out to watch them but every year it's like a pokemon

347
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:12,960
for magical girls right like it's they pump there's like a thousand episodes well I never see any kind

348
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:17,360
of art for them at conventions and stuff so it must just be more for like kids or something where

349
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:24,720
they'll consume it more than like adults following a franchise yeah I mean it's like it's like for

350
00:36:24,720 --> 00:36:30,560
younger yeah for younger kids so you know it's like it's like a lower thing there uh let's see

351
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:38,880
the uh also the voice of meet sukkage in fushigi yugi another uh show joe show joe yes we one will

352
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:45,920
definitely cover at some point amazing love you what does say um and for me he is also the voice

353
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:51,760
of blex in the zeta gundam second movie the new translation that they did in 2005 there we go we

354
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:59,360
got some gundam in here all right so that's president lori's extremely deep voice it's so deep

355
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:04,480
it's so deep it's he does not really make an appearance in these episodes though no no all

356
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:10,480
right so skip beat stage 22 is called the day of the world shattered we pick up right off where we

357
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:16,640
left off last week uh izuka has quizzed kyouko on her character miyo's reasoning for hating her

358
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:21,440
cousin kyouko doesn't quite know the answer and izuka says that she isn't up for the job okay then

359
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:26,640
we jump to the future where kyouko is filling yashiro in on what happened last episode um

360
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:31,920
and also we learn what happened after that moment which was that ren vouched for kyouko saying that

361
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:36,960
she will figure out the character soon she talks with ren about the character of miyo and ren

362
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:41,120
seems to think that she's on the cusp of a breakthrough but kyouko does not seem so confident

363
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:46,000
about that yeah i like this scene where she's like this must be some new form of bullying

364
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:53,120
like putting this much pressure on me to come up with this yeah now now uh supportive ren is

365
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:59,280
stressing her out as opposed to a diagnostic ren uh she tells yashiro that she thinks he's just messing

366
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:04,080
with her but yashiro tells her that that's not true and uh that ren is helping her out because

367
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:09,040
he's in love with her which he just says out loud but kyouko is deep in thought and isn't

368
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:14,560
listening to yashiro at all so okay this isn't yashiro this isn't really how you wingman i don't

369
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:20,480
know like not your place to be too direct about this dude this is not how you do this

370
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:29,040
this uh kyouko compares her life to the character of miyo miyo is gloomy and has a tough life

371
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:33,360
despite being a rich girl her parents always considered her lesser than her older sister

372
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:38,560
and her older jealous sister once pushed her off of a cliff resulting in a scar on her face

373
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:44,480
however despite the fact that her life is sad and she's gloomy her cousin mizuki has had an

374
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:50,160
even worse time but is often upbeat and happy despite everything that's happened to her kyouko

375
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:55,120
realizes that miyo is envious of mizuki's positivity which might be fueling her hate for her

376
00:38:55,120 --> 00:39:00,000
kyouko's like 95 of the way there on like figuring out miyo as a character but just can't put it

377
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:04,800
all together she looks into a nearby fountain and sees the makeup scar on her face she has a

378
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:10,160
revelation um and has figured out the character we cut to a frazzled yashiro bursting into the

379
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:16,160
shoot to tell ren and director ogata that kyouko has run off he explains that she had a result uh

380
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:21,360
realization and then just like booked it out of there she's like i'm going uh izuka hears this

381
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:26,160
and think it's because she's an amateur ogata is worried about the shoot but ren reassures everyone

382
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:31,760
saying that she'll be back uh if she's really figured out something yeah i was like yashiro i

383
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:39,040
feel like you're like not setting kyouko up to look good here like dude keep on the down low

384
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:45,200
no yashiro has no children for her he's really really acting like a rube he does not seem like

385
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:53,600
he would be a particularly good manager here like a what a rube yeah what does that mean like a

386
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:59,120
like it doesn't know what's happening you know what i mean i don't understand a rube an unsophisticated

387
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:04,720
country person a yokel a yokel he's acting unsophisticated like he's never been a manager

388
00:40:04,720 --> 00:40:10,800
before you know what i mean gosh okay like it's his first day on the job um ogata decides to

389
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:16,080
believe in kyouko and continues with the shoot without her um he suddenly has hope that kyouko

390
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:21,680
could be the thing that distinguishes his version from the original show that his father made uh

391
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:25,040
we cut to kyouko she feels bad for ditching the shoot but says that once she figured out the

392
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:30,560
character she wanted to go act it out right then in there she's thinking about this a while while

393
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:35,520
loitering in front of a hair salon four punk looking dudes come up behind her and are like hey

394
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:41,120
you either need to go in or move out of the way and then they like physically move her out of the way

395
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:47,440
kyouko gets into character and confronts them as an angry rich girl this was weird yeah they said some

396
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:55,680
horrific things um yeah these are like punk like uh i don't like motorcycle looking punk dudes you

397
00:40:55,680 --> 00:41:03,120
know who are like mean yeah they're like come over here i'll rip your skirt off and pull your panties

398
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:10,320
down i was like oh my god okay i don't remember the head but okay they said that yeah yeah weird

399
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:15,280
it was awful yes i don't know why this happens this never comes up again i don't know why this

400
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:23,040
scene is even here it's just to like prompt her to get into the role right get into character okay

401
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:28,880
yeah bizarre um yep we then cut to some extra speculating on whether or not kyouko will come back

402
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:32,800
uh kyouko passes them in the hallway but they aren't sure if it's really her or not because she has a

403
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:37,840
different aura about her and also she looks different uh on set they finish up a scene and

404
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:42,320
ren walks out to see kyouko sitting in the chair and is surprised to see that she has dyed her

405
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:48,240
actual hair black like mio's like she's not wearing the wig she went and dyed her hair black at this

406
00:41:48,240 --> 00:41:55,200
salon uh ren and ogata are like uh kyouko did you like dye your real hair and izaka says that she

407
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:59,520
can't hide the scar with kyouko's short hair so like i don't know why you did this uh kyouko

408
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:03,760
doesn't say anything this whole time ren bends down and reaches out to her but she swaps him away

409
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:09,360
and glares at him um ren declares that this is mio sitting before them because kyouko has

410
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:18,160
gotten into method acting so here she is method acting here we go um ogata thinks about kyouko's

411
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:23,120
mio like her interpretation of it and decides that she might be the thing the show needs after all

412
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:29,280
izaka is less convinced we get a flashback where ren vouches again for kyouko saying that you know

413
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:34,640
while she um well her version of mio is different it might be worth brought a letter try uh izaka

414
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:38,800
has had enough of this and starts calling kyouko mio to get her to like interact with her because

415
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:42,160
kyouko is ignoring everybody who's calling her kyouko right now because she's method acting

416
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:48,720
mio is annoyed silently walks up half a flight of stairs and then turns around so she's like

417
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:56,080
physically above izaka um and then starts talking to her yeah so she can look down on her like

418
00:42:56,080 --> 00:43:01,280
physically which is very funny um kyouko and izaka act out an improv scene together while

419
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:06,400
ogata thinks about the changes in the character that kyouko has made uh she has made mio more

420
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:12,160
prideful and confrontational ogata is so taken by kyouko's performance that he physically collapses

421
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:16,080
he says he thought she was being too intense but now he thinks it'll work out because her

422
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:21,840
characterization is internally consistent as we cut to credits yes he keeps saying method acting

423
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:26,400
they don't refer to it as that it's just more so that like you're so in the role that you become

424
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:31,520
the character but like yeah it's like immersive like i mean this is what method acting is right

425
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:39,200
you like i get yeah i guess so but um they kind of show it as like urt in the manga and stuff the

426
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:44,880
her little chibi it's kind of like a little soul that comes in and out of her it's like oh mio's

427
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:51,360
soul mio's soul is like left her as she's and then like comes back and so they almost make it seem

428
00:43:51,360 --> 00:44:02,320
like she's possessed by the role yes yeah what'd you think of this uh i mean it's fine yeah it's

429
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:07,520
fine i don't really have a lot of thoughts about this episode she did dye her hair black um i think

430
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:11,920
this is i mean she doesn't have any other roles in anything so i guess it doesn't matter right

431
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:16,560
because like she's still the chicken but that's a chicken suit that's her only other like

432
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:22,800
consistent gig so i guess this is fine i don't think she could do this every time you know

433
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:30,960
no yeah um yeah goddess frail i don't know i mean this this whole episode does not feel

434
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:34,560
of like a really i didn't learn anything about the characters particular it's just like about

435
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:38,800
what's happening in this arc the role yeah it's just about the role so it's like you know it's fine

436
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:44,320
like yeah she's doing method acting that works i mean it's like ren said this is her first time

437
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:52,240
creating her own character so i guess yeah as far as her like acting career it's a it's a moment

438
00:44:52,240 --> 00:44:59,600
just not like as an individual yeah yep i mean she's being a bad titles these episodes have very

439
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:06,880
dramatic titles yeah uh there you know it's what the world shattered or something oh yeah it's uh

440
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:14,160
the and the what is it uh the day the world shattered which is okay okay excessive very dramatic

441
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:17,760
for what's happening here which is basically just like kyo-ko has a different take on her character

442
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:25,040
mio and goes for it i you like 110 the same way she goes for everything which is like that's good

443
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:30,080
i don't have any deeper thoughts about it though okay i mean the other thing that's really

444
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:37,280
happening here character wise is that ren keeps vouching for her yeah so and even oh gata is like

445
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:45,280
okay something's up with those two with how much she's chiming in on her behalf so yeah i mean that's

446
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:48,960
that's kind of the biggest thing which is i mean he really believes in her which is good

447
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:53,040
yeah even though it's the first time they've ever like worked together on a project

448
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:59,680
yeah i mean she did do that one little test in the kimono tea ceremony thing for that one

449
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:07,440
that's true movie he was in but she was not a peer of his at that point in time yeah now she is

450
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:12,720
yep that's all i really have to say about that one uh should we go to the next one cool yep uh

451
00:46:12,720 --> 00:46:18,320
stage 22 is called and the trigger was pulled which feels like it should happen before the

452
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:24,320
world shatters but it does not happen here we open on the end of last episode a crew member

453
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:28,640
does the cut thing with the little clapperboard and this snaps kyouko out of character and she

454
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:34,720
goes back to being kyouko she apologizes to everybody for like running off because it seems

455
00:46:34,720 --> 00:46:39,440
like the character of mio took over her as the op starts to play we jump back in it and oh gata

456
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:43,520
tells her that her behavior was pretty unacceptable what with like leaving without telling everybody

457
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:48,480
and stuff but it all worked out in the end so it's cool whatever is a couple tests saying that her

458
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:53,760
interpretation of the character is totally different oga agrees but says that he's gonna run with it

459
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:58,240
so that his vision of the show will be different than his father's that can stand out and be better

460
00:46:58,240 --> 00:47:03,040
in comparison he tells all the actors to play their roles with greater impact everybody is

461
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:07,840
impressed that oga has his head in the game now ren tells yashiro that he needs to step up his game

462
00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:14,640
too and intense kyouko comes up to them and she's and he's like what's up kyouko and she asks ren

463
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:19,680
if he's gonna scold her for being so unprofessional ren's like well yeah i guess i was annoyed that

464
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:23,600
you just like up and left the set and i would have been really pissed off if you just did that for

465
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:28,560
like no reason but clearly you were still working so like it's all good you know it worked out um

466
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:33,440
and he also says that he likes her interpretation of the character and kyouko is happy about that

467
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:40,400
yeah she's always going to him is like okay i flap my hand i know i did something bad you're the one

468
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:45,600
to deliver the the punishment yeah he needs to be her dad

469
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:53,360
her mentor i need you to punish me i think they know what their dynamic is going to be like

470
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:59,360
oh she did have a dad right so that's true that never comes out really it doesn't

471
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:06,240
is it doesn't we ever talk about her dad in the manga way way into the manga

472
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:10,560
gonna be an angelic layer thing all over again where it just never comes up we never think about

473
00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:19,200
the dad ever doesn't exist dang um let's see the shooting starts with kyouko uh then we cut to show

474
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:25,120
in full elf devil costume uh he's going home and doesn't want to change because he wants to go home

475
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:28,960
right now and some guy from his company is like hey man it's crazy that one of the actresses in

476
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:34,640
your music video is going to be like on that tv show reboot now that's weird huh and she was like

477
00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:41,520
what and his manager kyouko tries to distract him um but she doesn't she doesn't do this i'm sorry

478
00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:50,640
what was her name shoko shoko yeah i everyone's gotta have moco shoko kyouko like yeah shoko

479
00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:54,320
tries to describe distract him it does not work show looks at the poster for dark mood and sees

480
00:48:54,320 --> 00:49:01,280
kyouko's name on it oh no this never comes up again in this episode um we immediately jump to a

481
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:07,200
flashback of corn slash ren giving kyouko the gem and she's like ooh a magic gem uh then we see

482
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:13,200
that this flashback is actually a dream that ren is having um he thinks back to the to earlier today

483
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:18,320
where kyouko explains her interpretation of meo uh where she says that her scar represents a curse

484
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:23,280
that keeps her angry and prevents her from being happy uh he wonders if she still actually believes

485
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:28,480
in like fairies and magic gems and curses and stuff he walks out of the shower to see a dvd of

486
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:32,720
the old tv show on his table and thinks about what he's gonna do next we cut to an intense scene

487
00:49:32,720 --> 00:49:38,400
between meo and her sister mizuki um the cast members all talk about kyouko's performance

488
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:42,160
one of them let's slip they think that she might be better than the original meo right in front of

489
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:46,560
izuka who played her izuka says it's fine because she actually agrees she likes kyouko's

490
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:53,840
interpretation better ren thinks that kyouko has totally grasped the role of meo correction um

491
00:49:54,720 --> 00:50:03,040
mizuki's her cousin uh all right sorry yeah yeah missau is the name of her sister which we don't

492
00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:10,000
really see um who doesn't yeah so much of this episode is like about the story of this thing

493
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:14,080
but like there's only two more episodes left so i'm like i don't feel like i really need to recap

494
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:21,360
this like it kind of doesn't matter yeah yeah yeah um let's see kyouko and ogata the scene ends and

495
00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:25,760
kyouko and ogata walk over to ren ogata thanks ren for showing up on time because he had a commercial

496
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:30,960
to record earlier today um ren says he's all good because he ate on the way so he's ready to go and

497
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:35,360
kyouko accuses ren of eating poorly and gets mad at yashiro for letting him eat so poorly uh the

498
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:39,840
actress for mizuki sees ren and kyouko talking her posse is jealous that kyouko gets to spend time

499
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:46,000
with ren but um she's wondering if ren who has like a reputation of being like an intimidating

500
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:50,720
co-star because he's like so good at acting just hasn't really been acting for real yet because

501
00:50:50,720 --> 00:50:57,760
she's so far pretty underwhelmed i also like that she because she's got like those two chicks her

502
00:50:57,760 --> 00:51:01,760
little groupies following her kind of smack talking kyouko that she immediately is like

503
00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:07,280
well if you want to get to know ren just go talk to him don't like disparage someone that

504
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:11,440
but oh yeah talking to him yeah just like you could just go talk to him like it's not a big deal

505
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:18,320
yes yeah um ren tells kyouko that he stayed up all night watching the original show she's like wow

506
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:22,560
if that were me that would probably like affect how i played the part if i was like looking looking

507
00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:27,760
at that right before i had to do it uh ren says that he wanted to know how the old actor played

508
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:32,880
the part so he could improve upon it like the director wants um shooting starts for a scene

509
00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:36,800
that ren's in and kyouko thinks that explanation is kind of odd in retrospect shouldn't he have

510
00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:40,480
already watched the show if that was like if he was planning on doing that like why do you do it

511
00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:47,520
just now but like whatever it's fine ren's like a pro so it's no big deal um but then she sees ren

512
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:51,120
get called on by the director for not being convincing enough of a lover in the scene that

513
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:56,480
he's in which apparently i guess the first scene he needs to interact with um mezuki as like a love

514
00:51:56,480 --> 00:52:03,040
interest um and kyouko thinks that he might have a problem after all we get a montage of ren's

515
00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:10,000
characters ridiculously sad character backstory uh the long story short is that mio's dad killed

516
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:16,560
his character's dad and he's out for revenge um but he also is gonna fall in love with mio's cousin

517
00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:24,160
so complex feelings i'm gonna not correct since it doesn't matter what okay what's wrong

518
00:52:24,160 --> 00:52:34,880
his dad survives it's his dad is basically i don't know if the car was like uh jeopardized or

519
00:52:35,920 --> 00:52:43,680
uh messed with but he's the driver so technically his dad is the one you killed her family but like

520
00:52:44,720 --> 00:52:52,080
wasn't really the one coordinating it um so he's like now my dad is like racked with guilt

521
00:52:52,080 --> 00:53:03,520
and i know the person responsible for it okay so like mio's dad gets his brother killed yeah

522
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:11,040
who's mezuki's dad orchestrates it yep and it gets pinned on ren's character's dad

523
00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:18,240
yep because it's a car crash and he's the driver but ren somehow knows a ren's character somehow

524
00:53:18,240 --> 00:53:25,520
knows that this was a setup and is now trying to get revenge on mio's dad for what he did to his dad

525
00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:32,240
so he's engaged to one of his daughters so that's a good end to wait ren's character is engaged to

526
00:53:33,200 --> 00:53:42,080
mio's sister yeah okay but he's gonna fall in love with mezuki uh his fiance because he doesn't mean

527
00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:47,920
to because he's here on a mission but then he just can't help but fall and he's also he's also there

528
00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:54,560
teacher yeah okay all right this actually sounds like a pretty good drama to be honest like i know

529
00:53:54,560 --> 00:54:01,280
i'm saying yeah it's very dramatic to follow but it's pretty good yeah it seems like a soap opera

530
00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:08,800
maybe but oh yeah this is some twin peaks shit this is this is good yeah uh let's see yeah anyway

531
00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:12,640
we learn all that it doesn't really matter ren's having problems with the scene and has to do multiple

532
00:54:12,640 --> 00:54:17,760
retakes yashiro is worried because this is really unusual for ren to have to do so many retakes

533
00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:22,960
like normally he just gets it in one uh director oh god it tells ren that he used to show more ambivalence

534
00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:30,000
towards his love interest mezuki uh because he likes her but also her adopted father is evil

535
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:36,320
and he's getting revenge on his dad and i guess she's also involved because her dad also died in

536
00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:43,120
that and also he is her teacher um so there should be a lot happening here um ren should be acting

537
00:54:43,120 --> 00:54:47,120
more conflicted oh god it tells him that if he can keep that conflict in his performance then he

538
00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:52,400
can surpass the original show ren tries to do the take again but freezes up oh god i apologize for

539
00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:57,040
putting too much pressure on him uh but ren tells him that that's not it kyouko in a voiceover tells

540
00:54:57,040 --> 00:55:06,000
us that ren is unable to play the role as we cut to credits in like a weird ominous voiceover yeah

541
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:12,240
that sounds like there's gonna be a time skip um no there's another time okay i see what you're

542
00:55:12,240 --> 00:55:16,800
saying she's speaking like and at that moment red couldn't play the role and then it's like we cut

543
00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:24,000
to like six months later or something no no no no definitely not that um but right she's like

544
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:29,920
admires him so much and it's weird because she's being praised so much and she's just a beginner

545
00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:37,200
now the guy that she looks up to is uh struggling in his role because he's not a method actor

546
00:55:38,240 --> 00:55:43,600
no that's right you should have the spirit of whatever this guy's name came over him he doesn't

547
00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:50,800
it well if he just admits that he likes kyouko then that's very similar like being a teacher

548
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:58,080
to student versus like him being older than kyouko so like he has like a real world um thing

549
00:55:58,080 --> 00:56:04,320
that he could be pulling inspiration from yeah is that the answer don't do it for the not for yeah

550
00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:09,360
what oh i got hit on this high schooler for my job i mean that's that's how it's gonna end right

551
00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:14,880
like it's the analog of his relationship with kyouko has to be the analog with this character's

552
00:56:14,880 --> 00:56:20,080
relationship with musikey because i don't know what we'll see in the next two because there's

553
00:56:20,080 --> 00:56:24,640
another way to solve it for him it's the only option right clearly he's not able to figure this out

554
00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:31,520
which is weird because like i don't know because the thing that so like the conversation he had

555
00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:38,240
with lori about like not being able to like be a kind of lover is more like when you're in it

556
00:56:38,240 --> 00:56:41,760
you know what i mean like it's the you're not being possessive enough you're not being like

557
00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:45,680
desperate enough or not desperate but you're not being like uh control not controlling but you're

558
00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:51,280
not trying to like take charge over it right i guess that's what he's supposed to be doing here

559
00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:55,360
but it's such an early scene that this is like the you need to acknowledge that you're falling in

560
00:56:55,360 --> 00:57:00,800
love part so like rent just hasn't fallen in love at all with anybody right yeah so that's what

561
00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:08,400
why was he dating these people dating he must have been miserable yes i mean i could see it being like

562
00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:14,080
if i date this huge actor it'd be good for my career if i must follow actor because oh for sure

563
00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:22,080
i'm on the yeah um also i feel like chicks just fall for him just because of his face and his

564
00:57:22,080 --> 00:57:29,440
gentlemanly persona so it's not like they're really that inch either like genuinely yeah chicks

565
00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:34,800
say they're into you but they didn't know you when you were corn that's right yeah anyway

566
00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:40,320
looks like rent's gonna blow it and that's how we end this episode i know we only had two more

567
00:57:40,320 --> 00:57:48,720
episodes i don't remember what we finish on um we gotta get to an end quick yeah it doesn't seem

568
00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:53,680
like we're gonna have a big season finale moment resolution to be honest yeah i'm gonna have to

569
00:57:53,680 --> 00:58:01,760
uh should i like tell kind of i yeah i guess next episode when we wrap up whatever is

570
00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:10,480
unconcluded from the show i can give answers to without like going further into the story um

571
00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:15,280
because everyone should read the manga it's so good yeah well we'll have a cutoff point where

572
00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:19,920
like we won't you know we'll just talk about the show and then we'll have a point where we'll cut

573
00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:23,120
off and you know if you we don't want to get spoiled or anything for the manga we won't do

574
00:58:23,120 --> 00:58:27,200
anything there and then basically i could just ask you questions about how things turn out yeah okay

575
00:58:27,200 --> 00:58:32,720
yay that sounds good we can do it like that but yeah that you know these two episodes not a lot of

576
00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:38,640
like character stuff going on other than it seems like um ren real into kiyoko kiyoko

577
00:58:39,840 --> 00:58:45,200
not particularly anymore into ren than usual other than she looks at him to punish her

578
00:58:45,200 --> 00:58:54,720
yeah she's not looking at romantically at all basically he's like an entity of acting that she

579
00:58:54,720 --> 00:59:04,160
goes to for inspiration and to like criticize her and stuff so he's more like a it's a role he has

580
00:59:04,160 --> 00:59:12,320
more so than who he is kind of oh yeah mm-hmm she's projecting what yes what'll happen what would

581
00:59:12,320 --> 00:59:17,600
have to happen to me right because we also have show is kind of the second male lead like

582
00:59:18,960 --> 00:59:22,960
i so don't care about show like this so doesn't matter to me

583
00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:34,320
mm-hmm um yeah i i'm not invested in that at all who cares well that's that's episodes 22 and 23

584
00:59:34,320 --> 00:59:44,000
of skit beat yep well well uh next time the last two next time yep and then i guess next episode

585
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:49,760
i'll announce what we're watching next as well yeah look forward to that yeah we made sure it's

586
00:59:49,760 --> 00:59:54,960
extremable we know it's extremable so we won't have to do a correction that's right

587
00:59:57,520 --> 01:00:02,080
yeah that was okay well now we know moving forward that we need to check the streaming

588
01:00:02,080 --> 01:00:11,520
landscape for shojo is so bad it is it's crazy yeah it's the end uh i feel like i don't know

589
01:00:11,520 --> 01:00:20,320
shojo's always been stronger as a manga uh media the anime magical girl is like slightly

590
01:00:20,320 --> 01:00:25,840
action-y so i guess that's why it like does better animated but like all these other ones i feel like

591
01:00:25,840 --> 01:00:30,080
they just everyone reads them rather than watch yeah i mean i guess format wise it's a little

592
01:00:30,080 --> 01:00:33,680
bit easier too right because like magical girl you can do like monster of the week kind of thing

593
01:00:33,680 --> 01:00:40,480
so you can just keep pumping out episodes monster of the week like power rangers yeah i mean that's

594
01:00:40,480 --> 01:00:47,280
what the format's called where it's like this week a big monster that makes people in the puppets

595
01:00:48,160 --> 01:00:53,920
i guess that kind of happens that happens in carcass soccer as well yeah it's just an easy way

596
01:00:53,920 --> 01:01:00,640
it's like an easy format to do a lot of stuff for like our one year anniversary we could do car

597
01:01:00,640 --> 01:01:07,040
capture soccer my favorite i mean we'll cover it it's just it's a lot of episodes i know i know

598
01:01:07,040 --> 01:01:12,880
it's so good well that one only has like 52 episodes or something and like two movies which i guess we

599
01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:18,960
could do bonus we would have to do movies no those would be episodes normal episodes but not plot

600
01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:23,280
it doesn't matter we have to watch the whole thing we have to engage with the whole thing

601
01:01:23,280 --> 01:01:27,760
it doesn't matter if it's they made it you know what i mean like i'm interested to see what they

602
01:01:27,760 --> 01:01:34,880
put on the screen i don't care what's canon um and then right because we've been doing this for about

603
01:01:35,520 --> 01:01:43,040
eight months now so go us freaking doing yep we're still going strong we got a plan we got some

604
01:01:43,680 --> 01:01:47,760
things in the tank we kind of have a little bit of a roadmap in terms of what we want to cover or

605
01:01:47,760 --> 01:01:54,640
at least like how we want to transition from show to show yeah we're gonna try to space it out a

606
01:01:54,640 --> 01:01:58,560
little bit so i you know i don't just make us watch all of the oldest shows of all time

607
01:01:59,520 --> 01:02:07,680
yeah um and we don't just end up watching shows that are a gajillion episodes yes long there are

608
01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:16,320
70 episodes of card capture sakura oh damn okay 70 but ah fine it's three seasons i mean we could

609
01:02:16,320 --> 01:02:22,400
even do it because like it is that monster of the week thing up to a certain point in the show so

610
01:02:22,400 --> 01:02:29,360
maybe like for that phase of the show we do more in one episode and then like more dedicated oh yeah

611
01:02:29,360 --> 01:02:34,160
yeah i mean we might do the thing we talked about doing the thing um where we watch one season of

612
01:02:34,160 --> 01:02:36,880
something and then we take a break and watch something else then we come back to the second

613
01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:40,320
season like we did all of kimmy to doke in a row because those aren't very long yeah we could for

614
01:02:40,320 --> 01:02:46,960
the longer ones break them yeah break them up a bit yep so we'll see but if you guys have any

615
01:02:48,160 --> 01:02:54,800
shows you want us to cover you can hit us up on socials uh or email us and all that we'll get to

616
01:02:54,800 --> 01:03:02,960
how you can do that in a bit but first let's do our recommendations i'm gonna start since i already

617
01:03:02,960 --> 01:03:10,880
basically did all the talking for it i'll go recommend i could recommend dragon age the veil guard uh

618
01:03:10,880 --> 01:03:22,560
because so if you like kind of quick paste combo uh combat and you like making your own character

619
01:03:22,560 --> 01:03:28,480
that you get to see interacting with the world and have romance and stuff like that um you should

620
01:03:28,480 --> 01:03:33,520
check out dragon age i think this one can be standalone like you don't have to really know

621
01:03:33,520 --> 01:03:37,360
the previous games it certainly enriches the experience but you could always probably watch

622
01:03:37,360 --> 01:03:44,160
like a youtube video of like what you should know before playing veil guard um and yeah so

623
01:03:44,960 --> 01:03:50,800
wreck make make me happy play it because i was like watching someone streaming it and they called

624
01:03:50,800 --> 01:03:57,120
it mid and then my like cheeks caught on fire and i was like how could they like i love this game

625
01:03:57,120 --> 01:04:02,800
how could they call it mid um i guess people have different opinions it's fine on people

626
01:04:02,800 --> 01:04:05,760
who have opinions about stuff a lot of people don't like the stuff i like a lot of my friends

627
01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:09,120
don't like the stuff i like and like this they could just be wrong it's fine i mean you can

628
01:04:10,320 --> 01:04:15,440
i i just like i just don't i just buy where has made improvements here and i don't want them to

629
01:04:15,440 --> 01:04:21,440
think that they haven't buy anyone saying bad stuff but i think they know i think they know if

630
01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:29,840
their product or if their game is good or not okay all right boom easy peasy my recommendation

631
01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:35,120
didn't give you enough time to come up with yours how about you do legend cora since i saw

632
01:04:35,120 --> 01:04:41,360
you had your little fire ferret behind you um no i'm not gonna let you tell me what my recommendation

633
01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:45,680
is gonna be i already knew what my recommendation was gonna be okay just because i have a pop in

634
01:04:45,680 --> 01:04:53,040
the background doesn't mean it needs to be legend of cora i watched last or on halloween i watched

635
01:04:53,040 --> 01:05:00,240
the um bound footage horror movie clover field for the first time from 2008 i watched it recently

636
01:05:00,240 --> 01:05:04,640
too i'd never seen it before and it was pretty fun you know like i didn't have you know i knew a

637
01:05:04,640 --> 01:05:12,480
little bit about this movie um but i was i had never seen it i'd seen the 10 clover field lane

638
01:05:12,480 --> 01:05:17,360
which is a much more of like a thriller kind of film which i do like but it's like totally different

639
01:05:17,360 --> 01:05:21,520
right it's not like a monster movie it's like a totally different thing um so i'd never actually

640
01:05:21,520 --> 01:05:29,040
seen the you know original movie uh it was pretty fun i liked it quite a bit um lots of good like

641
01:05:29,040 --> 01:05:32,960
set pieces i you know the whole time i was watching i was kind of wondering like how did they how did

642
01:05:32,960 --> 01:05:38,880
they film this like how did you get this kind of camera shot this kind of thing um it's a fairly

643
01:05:38,880 --> 01:05:43,040
straightforward action movie you know it's about a big giant monster that attacks new york and it's

644
01:05:43,040 --> 01:05:49,760
from the perspective of some people at a party and it's like a all through the camera work of like

645
01:05:49,760 --> 01:05:53,920
amateur you know just like recording stuff for this party and then everything is filmed through

646
01:05:53,920 --> 01:06:01,520
that kind of camera lens so it's like a fun pretty effective uh i guess set up for a movie yeah i think

647
01:06:01,520 --> 01:06:06,000
it looks pretty good i think it holds up pretty well the kind of stuff with the character work is

648
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:11,520
like sort of interesting there's this kind of fun thing they do where um they're over like they're

649
01:06:11,520 --> 01:06:19,360
filming over a tape so at different parts um some film from a previous yeah from a previous type when

650
01:06:19,360 --> 01:06:24,480
they film something will pop up during it and that's like a pretty fun juxtaposition i enjoyed that

651
01:06:24,480 --> 01:06:31,040
pretty well so yeah yeah pretty good i i enjoyed it more than i thought i was going to it's not that

652
01:06:31,040 --> 01:06:37,600
long yeah because i feel like some people said like oh the camera like that makes me nauseous or

653
01:06:37,600 --> 01:06:43,120
something like that or you barely see the monster blah blah blah if you get motion sick this might

654
01:06:43,120 --> 01:06:48,960
mess you up a little bit because it is a lot of like jerky camera movements that doesn't bother me

655
01:06:48,960 --> 01:06:55,520
uh but i know it does bother some people have you watched hardcore henry that movie filmed on gopros

656
01:06:55,520 --> 01:07:01,440
where it's like all first person i've not i kind of want to watch it apparently because uh my boss

657
01:07:01,440 --> 01:07:09,120
i guess worked on that film because he used to like do animation stuff but he said it was a nightmare

658
01:07:09,120 --> 01:07:13,600
to capture everything on a gopro that does sound bad that does sound like it's hard yeah i just

659
01:07:13,600 --> 01:07:21,360
seem interesting though i know it seems cool it's like almost parkour uh ish but yeah because i

660
01:07:21,360 --> 01:07:27,840
i what Blair witch projects the other like big one that's like yeah that movie rules ish i haven't

661
01:07:27,840 --> 01:07:35,600
seen it but it's so good uh yeah there isn't that much like running action in that so it doesn't

662
01:07:35,600 --> 01:07:40,640
yeah and also like yeah the camera is like a whole rig right like the guy is holding it on his

663
01:07:40,640 --> 01:07:48,720
shoulder so it's not like a handheld so it's it's not as shaky is it who the actor who plays a guy

664
01:07:48,720 --> 01:07:57,600
filming for the most part that's not who is that guy i feel like he's familiar i don't think any of the

665
01:07:58,880 --> 01:08:07,440
is it the actress for mean girls in it too she's like the friend that uh i don't know i don't think

666
01:08:07,440 --> 01:08:11,440
they're like let me see let me look at the actors and see if they've done anything else since then

667
01:08:11,440 --> 01:08:18,800
because they were kind of i know like at the time they were uh not big name yeah let's see but yeah

668
01:08:18,800 --> 01:08:26,160
donnie i do like when as right i've made this complaint before like you always just see the

669
01:08:26,160 --> 01:08:33,040
aftermath of something like this so it's fun to see like on the streets footage of like what it'd

670
01:08:33,040 --> 01:08:38,480
be like to experience first hand whatever the disaster may be and like was the organization

671
01:08:38,480 --> 01:08:44,320
of local authorities look like and stuff like that uh yeah so it looks like one of the actors

672
01:08:45,440 --> 01:08:54,720
is still already active i haven't seen anything on this filmography though i mean the one the

673
01:08:54,720 --> 01:08:59,920
the one who plays the or the the woman she's retired from acting according to a computer

674
01:08:59,920 --> 01:09:06,240
she became a medical marijuana grower which is very funny um and then the other guy was in a

675
01:09:06,240 --> 01:09:09,200
couple of things yeah he's also in a couple of things just not like a huge amount of guys and

676
01:09:09,200 --> 01:09:13,520
a pretty decent number of things but i don't recognize any of them i don't know if he's like

677
01:09:13,520 --> 01:09:21,840
in neighbor i don't know he seems he's very goofy anyways yeah what it's this clover field and then

678
01:09:21,840 --> 01:09:28,960
clover field lame and then wasn't there something else recently uh there's the clover field paradox

679
01:09:29,680 --> 01:09:34,640
okay yeah i haven't seen that i've not seen that either apparently there's another one in production

680
01:09:34,640 --> 01:09:43,120
somewhere so okay a franchise that's still alive i guess yes um well those are our recommendations
