Welcome back to Shojo everyone. Let's see we've got our veteran listeners who know what's
going on here and if you're by chance new and this is the episode you choose to start
with welcome and I hope you can comprehend what happens here. May you just support us.
Yeah.
There's only two episodes this time so you're not getting the full experience of the three
episodes skitbeat. That's right. Yes.
We are nearing the end of skitbeat. Next episode will be our last coverage of it.
So we'll have to enjoy our remaining time with Kyoko and Ren and the gang. I'm your
host Sarah. So I'm by my friend Joe. Hello.
So put in the Joe and Shojo. I'm Shojo.
Yeah.
Shojo.
That's right.
Yes. So we'll get into that. But first boy oh boy do we have stuff to catch up on.
Has anything happened.
Has anything important happened in the last
time that we've been looking forward to for months perhaps.
Yes. Yes.
Dragon Age the Vale Guard. I feel like they could drop the the the the the the Vale Guard
which is dumb. So whatever I've been calling it Dragon Age Vale Guard because that sounds
better. But yeah I came out.
What's it like.
It came out on the 31st. I did. Let's see. I think I had a yeah so that's why I did.
I stayed at home alone playing Dragon Age streaming. I did I think a 31 hour stream
of which I did sleep for part of it. I slept in longer than anticipated in fact.
But I am liking the new game. Like it's the best combat out of the series so far because
I think it's unfortunate that's coming out like not that long and Baldur's Gate is still
in the minds of a lot of people. So like Baldur's Gate is a much more like a classic kind of
RPG experience whereas this is a bit more like more consumable probably for people more
approachable.
So is this is this the the game where that was the big departure. Like is this where
they started being more like action RPG as opposed to like turn based kind of thing because
I played Origin a little bit and that was more turn based.
Yes. I mean so for the most part I don't remember if Dragon Age 2 had this but for the most
part Origin Inquisition you could either play it where you like did time based attacks where
you like pause time assigned actions and then play time and they would play out which I never
did because I wasn't ever playing at like a hard enough difficulty where that would have
been worth it. But none of them no Dragon Age game has ever been like the same as the
previous entry. They've all been very distinct games. So I think the first one came out in
2009. It's 2024 now and the biggest gap was between Inquisition in like 2013 maybe and
then now Vale Guard. So which is good because like when they did Dragon Age 2 they only
had two years to do it from Origin which you know resulted in some issues there but I still
enjoyed it. Inquisition I would say is probably like some things are improvements obviously
like a newer game will have like better visuals and this and that and a better character creator
and stuff but then it's like a very tedious game to play because it's like right after
Skyrim came out so Bioware for some reason trying to open world they did this with Andromeda
as well. Oh God I hate that so much. Yes where it's like it's not fully open world in the
way that some people like so it's not fully that but it's also taking away from what their
player base wants which is a more like narrative focused game. So like it's I only ever played
through Inquisition twice the very first time and then my replay right before this one because
it's such a pain in the ass to play because there's so much like side crap and like collectibles
and shit and so this so far I have played about 26 hours of Vale Guard but yeah so gameplay
good world exploration a lot more focused even when it's not like the main plot it feels
like it is related so it feels like everything you're doing has value and now oh my God Leucanus
the guy that I thought I was gonna romance I haven't we're not at that phase in our relationship
yet but he is hot hot hot uh huh yeah so oh man I'm excited for that and yeah the campaign
question yes so are you the veil who is the veil guard is it you are you fighting them
are you joining them I think we're the veil guard although at the point in the game I'm
at we that term has not been used at all because I'm still assembling the team but okay the veil
basically there's something called the fade which most people can only enter through their dreams
but the fade is like yeah but the fade used to be what the entire world was like with like demons
and stuff like that but then this one uh or this thing happened and that got closed off and then
the veil is like the protective barrier around the fade uh so it's like an in-between world kind of
and then there's like the reality that everyone knows um so if you're maintaining the separation
yes because then basically if we go back there's the fade takes over demons everywhere
everyone's gonna die pretty much um so like that's what we're fighting so just like demons are bad
like uniformly like they're never really like any cool demons there's spirits and then there and
the demons are like corrupted spirits so because also there's like spirits of wisdom or spirit of
chaos and so like some of them are more likely to you know turn um but that's like what we're
guarding against um and yeah I'm playing as an elf rogue from the shed because you get to pick
factions as like part of your origin as a character because each companion you have is from a different
faction and those factions are like groups that you'll have to like build relationships with and
stuff like that um and so it's like cool your character gets a bit more um you know background
story to reference and use those ties and conversation um let's see yeah I don't I mean my
character super cute you saw her last night on my stream I'm yeah huge bow huge bow and arrow
set enormous what are we in monster hunter yeah yes the bows are a little bulky I don't like the
way they look but I've only found a few and luckily this game has where if you find something you can
then use the appearance of it even if it's not what you have equipped so like lots of like
considerations for players to look that way they want not limited by the staffs of equipment and
you don't and like the equipment system is way better because now you don't have to like sell
equipment like basically you once you acquire equipment if you acquire more of that same one
then it like levels it up so um okay you don't have to worry about like constantly being or
selling a bunch of stuff you're not going to use or and you know your companions and uh so like it
just feels like there's a lot of quality of life things in this that I appreciate um so I mean I'm
assuming some people will like bash this game just because it's EA even though in my opinion it is
an improvement upon inquisition um so but I'm hoping yeah I mean it does well I mean it seems to have
done pretty well right um I was a streaming editor yeah that's true yeah because it was kind of like
a maker break right as I've mentioned that with and drama then no anthem Bioware made this game
anthem oh I don't even want to think that that was reality or they made that but like a total flop
because EA wanted like a like a cooperative multiplayer blah blah blah so Bioware is the one
they tasked with that that turned out bad because that's not what Bioware does so Bioware has been
like on you know treading water for some time especially it because before anthem it was
mass spectrometer which a lot of people is like mixed because it had the same issues that inquisition
had where it's like an open world but like not one that I really want to spend that much time
collecting random things for and so I think it's an improvement and hopefully people have a little
bit of faith restoring on Bioware because they are doing another mass effect game so hopefully that
is a big improvement as well it's tough because mass effect still holds up like it's a great game so
it's kind of like setting yourself up for failure trying to make more games in a series that people
love so much and don't want the reputation well this is this yeah this is kind of the problem for
all I mean video games are at a weird state like as an industry right now um and I feel like a lot of
studios are doing like sequels after a long time and I don't know like did you end up liking did
you finish Love the Life is Strange sequel uh no I okay we'll go around to it eventually okay I've
heard kind of mixed things about yeah that game and I know that studio actually got shut down
on or something by Sony recently based on something I mean again like sometimes I mean you
know like the studio that made Hi-Fi Rush they made a quickly a famed game and then got shut
down anyway right so it's like none of this stuff is really linked to how successful you are it's
kind of just a huge mess um so it's it's hard to know um I mean that being said you know coming
back and doing like quality life improvements because that was really the issue when I played
Dragon Age Origins or whatever I played yeah was like there's so much inventory management
and all this stuff I just don't care about and like I well I also personally do not like open
world games because I feel like it just fills it with a lot of stuff that you end up having to do
which is mostly just a waste of time um so it's it sounds like they knew what they were doing
with this game at least or had like a vision of what's supposed to play as yeah it does feel like
the pacing feels different so it's like it's like constantly like turned on like there's not I don't
know it just feels like everything is propelling the plot so it's like there's no like okay now I
take it easy blah blah blah which I guess I'm just used to like okay now this is the part where
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
no like oh this part was boring blah blah blah which is good it's also giving me anxiety though
because like I'm like am I just burning through this game like how how much time do I have in this
game uh yeah but I will enjoy replaying it and playing a different class with different like
faction and stuff um you can go back and like alter a lot of appearance and stuff which is how much
how much like uh dude like do the decisions make differences right because it sounds like high level
you're kind of doing the aragorn from lord of the rings thing where you're going around to all the
different factions and trying to get them to all like work together so you can stop the big army
or whatever is it kind of like that um yeah kind of well because you have your companion and then
basically you recruit every companion and then you like establish a connection with that companion
faction and then there's like levels of trust or you know one you like there's different elements
that increase like you're standing with that faction such as like upgrading their merchant and
you know doing quests within their region and then like I just had to make a decision that was like
sucky either way so it's like the way out like what companion is going to be affected
and what faction is basically I had to make a call where it's like okay I can only save or I can
only help save one thing so whichever one I don't pick is going to be like rough shape afterwards
and so I like have a significantly lower um standing with the group I didn't pick now uh
and the character from that faction in my party is like not not accessible now because she's
busy like trying to help fix things in that area that got ruined so and she's like she has a state
called like hardened now where she I think she's like distrustful of you and like so certain abilities
like abilities that are healing she can't use on me now but like abilities that would be
uh reinforced by like intense negativity such as like attacks are like powered up
yeah so that's interesting so is it but does it mostly seem like I'm gonna guess you're not at the
end of the game but is it mostly seem like the faction stuff is more about how your companions
interact with you like is it more of personal stakes or does it seem like if you mess up the
factions you're not gonna win at the end like you're not gonna be able to something like that
like in the very first dragon age game you as a gray warden you're like calling on old alliances
to fight the blight and so depending how it goes like you'll have different people fighting and
like the the final uh like battle whatever level but I'm just saying it's something like that like
it doesn't like alter the state because like this is the mass effect thing right like in mass effect
you have to do a similar thing but it's all about your companions and like your companions
close to you like you still fight the flash bot like the last battle no matter what it doesn't
really matter who you've aligned with like story wise at the end because it all ends the same way
yeah I'm not sure I was wondering like the area that there are stakes
like environmentally there's changes like the area that got hit hard is like I'm having to
redefine travel points and stuff because the landscape has been affected from the destruction
and so like the world itself has been affected by the decisions and I don't know we'll just have to
see um yeah I was trying to do all the side quests that I can first before I do any plot
stuff so I think I'm just doing everything right now at this point okay yeah I'm not as far in the
story okay but what are you gonna say I was just I was wondering like are you making decisions based
off of like which companions you like and want to like get to know better or are you doing it based
off of like actually coalition building like I don't have any artillery guys they have all the
artillery I should be prioritizing those guys even though my companion wants me to do something like
is it like personally or is it all just like yeah this guy's cool so I'm going with them
no yeah well no I picked based off like what companion I wanted to like me even though I
basically is choosing between the guy that I'm interested in pursuing and saving his hometown
and then it just so happened that the faction I chose was the other hometowns of my hometown
versus this and I was like nice sorry sorry past I got this hottie that I got interested
oh wow so now my faction that I'm originally from is like how could you do this to us like
oops you considered being down bad but in my defense it was like okay his it's like okay this
is a merchant city and they don't have like a militant force to protect them versus the other
one they do have like almost I'm from like a vigilante group and there's like the reigning
government is like powerful mages so like in theory they have more defenses than this this one that's
more civilian so it's their fault like they just how come you guys couldn't defend this this is like
your whole that's right that's right we both have the same task at hand I don't know but also they
kicked me out yeah whatever oh well they couldn't defend themselves anyway so who cares yeah you know
so yeah like certain characters are now injured and like okay yeah so it affects that kind of
stuff all right I was wondering about how that played out all right let's go so far liking it
I'm gonna right now I'd give it at least eight out of ten um maybe nine but so I'm really enjoying
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
I've been playing the Callisto protocol as like my one of my scarier games which is like a space horror
game because I love space horror I really liked I liked alien isolation a lot I like to pray a lot
space horror is good um this game is very like cinematic like they did the thing where you know
they'd like scanned an actor's face or whatever so it's like they have a lot of good cut scenes and
things like that uh gameplay wise it's a little confusing to play uh a lot of the game is I mean
you know it's like a uh inventory management kind of horror game right so it's like you have some
guns you have like six inventory slots you can carry ammo you can carry um health items you can carry
valuable stuff you can sell to upgrade your weapons and things like that right so you're
always kind of doing those trade-offs uh that being said they really minimized the HUD right so like
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
they're more like in in story kind of uh things there and not a lot of like icons and things that
show up which is nice cinematically but also makes the game kind of hard to play because
it's not that clear when things are attacking you and the camera is like it's third person right like
over the shoulder but it's also kind of close to you so I will just get hit by stuff outside of the
camera view and I can't exactly turn the camera really quick so it kind of feels like a mess to
play a little bit it's not in like the early games like Silent Hill it's like the limitations were
kind of advantageous to the um feel of the game kind of like I I don't exactly feel like it's
like that like the thing going on with Silent Hill is that you can see everything but your character
response like your ability to control your character is like much more limited because the types of
like the control layout was a little weird right and that was kind of on purpose because it's like
it's not supposed to be kind of responsive it's supposed to be a little bit tense this feels a
little more like I'm just getting hit by stuff outside of the screen and I kind of feel like I
just couldn't really do anything but take that hit and so it ends up being a little more irritating
than it does like nerve racking particularly um which is kind of annoying I mean ultimately it
doesn't matter that much because the game isn't too terribly difficult uh but it does feel like a
lot of like combat sequences especially because this game has a lot of combat sequences don't go
very well because it's really hard for me to tell what's going on not because like I couldn't I didn't
like react in time you know what I mean so but I mean ultimately like it's still it's like it looks
great it's still pretty fun to play like most of the interactions are pretty good there's just like
you know a couple of things that are weird the other big problem is that they don't give you a
map and I get lost all the time and like the guy the character moves kind of slow so you know there's
a lot of like small polish things I think this is the same studio that made the dead space that dead
space maybe the dead space remake and like having played dead space fairly recently the original
not the remake that game just controls and feels a lot better than this one so it's kind of like a
trade-off of like cinematic you know because in dead space you have some HUD stuff you have like
objectives appearing at the top of your screen and that kind of thing and this one you don't and I
feel like it kind of suffers because of it a little bit at least playing it you know I'm playing
it for people right so I'm streaming it so like some of my friends and they like how it looks
so it looks great it's just the being behind the wheel that's a bit more yeah and you know if I
play it for too long I start to get annoyed by like how much stuff is like that the quality of
life stuff catches up to me if I play it for too long and it starts to bother me that being said
you know I played like six hours it's pretty good I am enjoying it it moves pretty quick
even though the combat isn't super satisfying I like the environments a lot I like space horror
space horror is just good you know I love a weird space station on a planet where it's snowing and
you got to wear a you got to wear a suit to walk outside that's just great I just love that death
stranding or what I didn't play death stranding I need to um that game I know is a lot of walking
yeah it yeah um cool uh yeah so I played that um what else am I doing I feel like you talked for
a long time so I should talk for a long time too um I'm watching so I've been watching so I still
have Netflix what we got for uh keep me needs to keep me to okay right and I'm watching so now I'm
like catching up because I didn't have it for like forever right yeah yeah um so I am watching the an
anime um a Chinese cartoon anime called scissor seven uh about a some guy whose name is seven
who is like a haircut kind of a like deadbeat goofy kind of guy um who used to be a like
killer assassin but like lost his memories after some stuff happened to him that's not entirely
sure to me what it is um and it's very goofy the first couple seasons are very goofy I'm on like
season three or four or something and so it kind of escalates in terms of the stakes but at the very
beginning it's just like about this kind of goofy guy who's like best friend is a chicken and the
chicken is telling him to become an assassin so they can make money because they're broke so he's
trying to be an assassin with his like scissors he has to cut people's hair but he's not very good
at it and it's just like a a lot of like comedy stuff with it there's like a nice cast of characters
that he meets over time um and then it really escalates with the whole you were actually an
assassin backstory thing and now people are coming back and there's demon blades and stuff like that
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
are super short they're like 10 12 minutes right so it's like adventure time length episodes so it's
just like a nice thing I can just like sneak one in whenever I got nothing to do so uh I've been
having a pretty good time with that pretty good action show you know okay so have you watched
Bridgerton have I watched Bridgerton yeah that's a Netflix series yeah aren't the episodes like
an hour and forever long but no I'm probably never gonna watch it I'm sorry if I'm gonna watch an
hour long drama I need to watch the Sopranos or something I haven't watched that either um is that
like the the Victorian era romance thing or whatever a little funny I don't think I'm gonna
watch that I don't that's like my favorite time period like I watched Downton Abbey for a while
and I'm like this is fine I guess but I do not like that time period I don't like like old time
England I think it sucks hmm well probably just reet and oh god Regency era yeah um is it just like
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
prejudice kind of thing well I haven't consumed any pride and prejudice stuff but basically
there's like this big family and each book is like focused on a different member of the family
and their love story kind of um and so like there's a fun family dynamic and then like kind of
subplots the arch between the seasons and um hot people and I don't know it's like it's not
traditional right it's not like oh a bunch of white people running the show it's like a more um I
guess like open-minded like setting than like reality uh yeah I mean like racially diverse or
like yeah because they're all still like aristocrat landowner yeah I have servants that do things for
me kind of thing right yes um yeah uh it's yeah I like isn't just like is it just like Hamilton I
mean is it just like what if we did this but had a diverse cast that nobody really ever addressed
is not part of the story um no it kind of is addressed the queen is black and she kind of her
ascending to that role caused a lot of this to happen um because she like is she married into
the family and so when she became the queen then that opened up more opportunities for people like
her okay but is that like a plot point like are they gonna we're gonna talk about race relations
here is it just like we're starting off where it's cool that black people are in power kind of like
that yeah okay okay whatever it's fine I'm just wondering what it is no no no I mean it's fine
like that's totally fine I don't have any problem with that I'm just like is this thing that is like
is the show about that or is that just part of the setting it's just part of the setting okay um I
mean you know that's fine I just like love stories amongst um like old time English nobility and like
landed gentry I don't really care for I think those guys are losers yeah yeah um let's see have you
I mean it's fine I just feel like the I've read too much of that like too much like classical
literature is about that stuff you know like I had to read Anna Karenina I know that's like
not in England or whatever but like it's all the same you know it just feels all the same to me
I'm just like whatever man yeah you love a guy but he's at a different social standing than you so
it's hard for you that sucks I guess whatever uh there's uh there's like a Korean series live
action zombie show that's on Netflix that you should check out that I really enjoyed it's called
all of us are dead oh I feel like I heard about that when it came out I've I've mentioned it
before on the podcast I think a while ago but I really enjoyed it so maybe check that out while
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
you know um well because I've not been watching that much stuff I'm supposed to be reading but
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
back down to one more and then one of them I read along with a podcast and now I can do that at
whatever pace I want um which I am behind by many many books at this point uh so it's really only
two exciting news okay see if we ever cover Kadocha my sister loves it enough that she just bought
the whole manga set off and she does not collect manga at all but she like loves that series um
I don't know I feel like buying off eBay makes me nervous yeah I mean you know you never know
like the quality of the thing yeah but yeah so that's cool um yeah that's mostly what I've been
doing I guess you know Halloween stuff it was Halloween this week yeah I hung out with some people
there okay look at you doing pretty good time yeah I did absolutely nothing I'm a single tricker
trader luckily because cricket would have lost her mind okay moxie and my cat is here uh I'm
freaking my eyes are just yeah we did a 30 hour stream or whatever right so you're in recovery mode
I've got like one bloodshot eye and as soon as we're done with this I'll just play more dragon age
and I'm like I'm gonna fall out of my head you don't want to recover a little more you're gonna
go right back into it yeah I'm sorry okay okay my cat my take get off the mic stop pumping the mic
okay well I guess we can get the show on the road huh let's talk about skip beat somewhat yeah yeah
yeah so we got two episodes for skip beat today uh you know we talked longer that first segment
because of dragon age and also the fact that we're only covering two episodes today so um this
segment is gonna not be as long and also to be perfectly honest these episodes not a lot goes on
a lot of it is like plotty plot stuff that like isn't that important because the show's
gonna end in two more episodes this is the most I'm like oh they definitely did not think this
was gonna be the only season we are not setting up for the end of the season at all by the end of
these two episodes like every other show we've watched has had like build up to the final like
the season finales this is good this is no build up at all yeah oh well now watching it I'm like I
really wish they had done a second season um I know I'm surprised that nobody's like where the plot
takes off I mean what did like original fruits basket come out like I mean I feel like there
has been a sort of like world remaking old stuff yeah first like we're doing new Rama we're doing
new we're having with 2001 and that came out in 2019 so that's an 18 year difference this came out
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
saying okay well I'm like this is my favorite manga and it is still coming out so it's still on
shelves so I'm like I don't know what the reception of skip beat is like I mean obviously it was good
enough that they made an anime in the first place but I don't know if there's like a fan base to me
and I don't know I don't know who calls you can carry a carry a remake I feel like the remakes are
what's good right now because like they kind of botched it the first go so like let's do it good
this time and then it's the old anime remade that is the best rather than like the new stuff coming
out for me at least well I don't think they botched the first one on any of these I mean the original
fruits basket was pretty good it just didn't have the ending because it wasn't over right
yeah I feel like it didn't follow the I don't know I haven't watched that yeah but it wasn't
it was like a full metal alchemist thing right or it wasn't done by the time it came out oh I don't
know but it wasn't as faithful I think to the manga oh and like I mean Ron Moe is like the
the old show was like big deal you know what I mean like that was very successful yeah you know
they redid sailor moon and that was incredibly successful so I don't really think it's like
the original was bad well or like it can be so much better with technology oh I absolutely do not
think those shows look better okay I mean I feel like the new fruits basket like it's more similar
to the art style of the manga um they're more slim versus I feel like in the original one they're a
lot more wide but anyways yeah I do not think I do not think it looks but I I don't think animation
has been served very well by increasing technology to be to be perfectly honest with you well not
if we're doing the damn 3d stuff yeah I mean even the 2d stuff now does not look better I mean maybe
like the effects and stuff but not the actual characters is that what she or like it takes away
no I just think it's just not I think it allows you to cut more corners for like production wise
and that's why everybody cuts corners because these are all run by companies they don't give a
shit about art or products or anything they just want to sell stuff uh because of consolidation
and anyway capitalism bad let's talk about voice actors okay um the voice actor for president
lori who is we're getting down the list of characters in skippy is uh koji ishii uh he is the
voice of a character named damaross in the power rangers one were their pirates it's like 50 episodes
of this it's like his most popular thing because that's a that's a pretty good gig to be a power
rangers you could be in a lot of power rangers episodes yeah you know that's a that's a good
paycheck for a while he's also the voice of garter belt and panion stocking uh that's a
show I'm familiar I'm like I've never watched it pretty funny name alone yeah it's one of it's
you know it's a comedy it's like a raunchy comedy it kind of holds up for the most part a lot of
some parts do not I don't know if the character of garter belt which is kind of uh you know a bit
of a racist character a little bit with the with the big lips yeah again once again bad drawings uh
very much like a blackface character that being said the performance like the voice is pretty good
he's also asato ichijo in vampire night so we're getting some show joe yeah we're getting some show
joe here's the show joe stuff he's uh montague the voice of the montague family I don't exactly
know who that is in a in romeo ex juliet the anime not in the bozlerman movie yes it's good
it's a good one he also plays a character named yucky dorago in pretty cure for 50 episodes so I
once again big character pretty cure is a big uh show joe franchise I didn't realize me I just
I guess it is I've been like oh yeah I pump out to watch them but every year it's like a pokemon
for magical girls right like it's they pump there's like a thousand episodes well I never see any kind
of art for them at conventions and stuff so it must just be more for like kids or something where
they'll consume it more than like adults following a franchise yeah I mean it's like it's like for
younger yeah for younger kids so you know it's like it's like a lower thing there uh let's see
the uh also the voice of meet sukkage in fushigi yugi another uh show joe show joe yes we one will
definitely cover at some point amazing love you what does say um and for me he is also the voice
of blex in the zeta gundam second movie the new translation that they did in 2005 there we go we
got some gundam in here all right so that's president lori's extremely deep voice it's so deep
it's so deep it's he does not really make an appearance in these episodes though no no all
right so skip beat stage 22 is called the day of the world shattered we pick up right off where we
left off last week uh izuka has quizzed kyouko on her character miyo's reasoning for hating her
cousin kyouko doesn't quite know the answer and izuka says that she isn't up for the job okay then
we jump to the future where kyouko is filling yashiro in on what happened last episode um
and also we learn what happened after that moment which was that ren vouched for kyouko saying that
she will figure out the character soon she talks with ren about the character of miyo and ren
seems to think that she's on the cusp of a breakthrough but kyouko does not seem so confident
about that yeah i like this scene where she's like this must be some new form of bullying
like putting this much pressure on me to come up with this yeah now now uh supportive ren is
stressing her out as opposed to a diagnostic ren uh she tells yashiro that she thinks he's just messing
with her but yashiro tells her that that's not true and uh that ren is helping her out because
he's in love with her which he just says out loud but kyouko is deep in thought and isn't
listening to yashiro at all so okay this isn't yashiro this isn't really how you wingman i don't
know like not your place to be too direct about this dude this is not how you do this
this uh kyouko compares her life to the character of miyo miyo is gloomy and has a tough life
despite being a rich girl her parents always considered her lesser than her older sister
and her older jealous sister once pushed her off of a cliff resulting in a scar on her face
however despite the fact that her life is sad and she's gloomy her cousin mizuki has had an
even worse time but is often upbeat and happy despite everything that's happened to her kyouko
realizes that miyo is envious of mizuki's positivity which might be fueling her hate for her
kyouko's like 95 of the way there on like figuring out miyo as a character but just can't put it
all together she looks into a nearby fountain and sees the makeup scar on her face she has a
revelation um and has figured out the character we cut to a frazzled yashiro bursting into the
shoot to tell ren and director ogata that kyouko has run off he explains that she had a result uh
realization and then just like booked it out of there she's like i'm going uh izuka hears this
and think it's because she's an amateur ogata is worried about the shoot but ren reassures everyone
saying that she'll be back uh if she's really figured out something yeah i was like yashiro i
feel like you're like not setting kyouko up to look good here like dude keep on the down low
no yashiro has no children for her he's really really acting like a rube he does not seem like
he would be a particularly good manager here like a what a rube yeah what does that mean like a
like it doesn't know what's happening you know what i mean i don't understand a rube an unsophisticated
country person a yokel a yokel he's acting unsophisticated like he's never been a manager
before you know what i mean gosh okay like it's his first day on the job um ogata decides to
believe in kyouko and continues with the shoot without her um he suddenly has hope that kyouko
could be the thing that distinguishes his version from the original show that his father made uh
we cut to kyouko she feels bad for ditching the shoot but says that once she figured out the
character she wanted to go act it out right then in there she's thinking about this a while while
loitering in front of a hair salon four punk looking dudes come up behind her and are like hey
you either need to go in or move out of the way and then they like physically move her out of the way
kyouko gets into character and confronts them as an angry rich girl this was weird yeah they said some
horrific things um yeah these are like punk like uh i don't like motorcycle looking punk dudes you
know who are like mean yeah they're like come over here i'll rip your skirt off and pull your panties
down i was like oh my god okay i don't remember the head but okay they said that yeah yeah weird
it was awful yes i don't know why this happens this never comes up again i don't know why this
scene is even here it's just to like prompt her to get into the role right get into character okay
yeah bizarre um yep we then cut to some extra speculating on whether or not kyouko will come back
uh kyouko passes them in the hallway but they aren't sure if it's really her or not because she has a
different aura about her and also she looks different uh on set they finish up a scene and
ren walks out to see kyouko sitting in the chair and is surprised to see that she has dyed her
actual hair black like mio's like she's not wearing the wig she went and dyed her hair black at this
salon uh ren and ogata are like uh kyouko did you like dye your real hair and izaka says that she
can't hide the scar with kyouko's short hair so like i don't know why you did this uh kyouko
doesn't say anything this whole time ren bends down and reaches out to her but she swaps him away
and glares at him um ren declares that this is mio sitting before them because kyouko has
gotten into method acting so here she is method acting here we go um ogata thinks about kyouko's
mio like her interpretation of it and decides that she might be the thing the show needs after all
izaka is less convinced we get a flashback where ren vouches again for kyouko saying that you know
while she um well her version of mio is different it might be worth brought a letter try uh izaka
has had enough of this and starts calling kyouko mio to get her to like interact with her because
kyouko is ignoring everybody who's calling her kyouko right now because she's method acting
mio is annoyed silently walks up half a flight of stairs and then turns around so she's like
physically above izaka um and then starts talking to her yeah so she can look down on her like
physically which is very funny um kyouko and izaka act out an improv scene together while
ogata thinks about the changes in the character that kyouko has made uh she has made mio more
prideful and confrontational ogata is so taken by kyouko's performance that he physically collapses
he says he thought she was being too intense but now he thinks it'll work out because her
characterization is internally consistent as we cut to credits yes he keeps saying method acting
they don't refer to it as that it's just more so that like you're so in the role that you become
the character but like yeah it's like immersive like i mean this is what method acting is right
you like i get yeah i guess so but um they kind of show it as like urt in the manga and stuff the
her little chibi it's kind of like a little soul that comes in and out of her it's like oh mio's
soul mio's soul is like left her as she's and then like comes back and so they almost make it seem
like she's possessed by the role yes yeah what'd you think of this uh i mean it's fine yeah it's
fine i don't really have a lot of thoughts about this episode she did dye her hair black um i think
this is i mean she doesn't have any other roles in anything so i guess it doesn't matter right
because like she's still the chicken but that's a chicken suit that's her only other like
consistent gig so i guess this is fine i don't think she could do this every time you know
no yeah um yeah goddess frail i don't know i mean this this whole episode does not feel
of like a really i didn't learn anything about the characters particular it's just like about
what's happening in this arc the role yeah it's just about the role so it's like you know it's fine
like yeah she's doing method acting that works i mean it's like ren said this is her first time
creating her own character so i guess yeah as far as her like acting career it's a it's a moment
just not like as an individual yeah yep i mean she's being a bad titles these episodes have very
dramatic titles yeah uh there you know it's what the world shattered or something oh yeah it's uh
the and the what is it uh the day the world shattered which is okay okay excessive very dramatic
for what's happening here which is basically just like kyo-ko has a different take on her character
mio and goes for it i you like 110 the same way she goes for everything which is like that's good
i don't have any deeper thoughts about it though okay i mean the other thing that's really
happening here character wise is that ren keeps vouching for her yeah so and even oh gata is like
okay something's up with those two with how much she's chiming in on her behalf so yeah i mean that's
that's kind of the biggest thing which is i mean he really believes in her which is good
yeah even though it's the first time they've ever like worked together on a project
yeah i mean she did do that one little test in the kimono tea ceremony thing for that one
that's true movie he was in but she was not a peer of his at that point in time yeah now she is
yep that's all i really have to say about that one uh should we go to the next one cool yep uh
stage 22 is called and the trigger was pulled which feels like it should happen before the
world shatters but it does not happen here we open on the end of last episode a crew member
does the cut thing with the little clapperboard and this snaps kyouko out of character and she
goes back to being kyouko she apologizes to everybody for like running off because it seems
like the character of mio took over her as the op starts to play we jump back in it and oh gata
tells her that her behavior was pretty unacceptable what with like leaving without telling everybody
and stuff but it all worked out in the end so it's cool whatever is a couple tests saying that her
interpretation of the character is totally different oga agrees but says that he's gonna run with it
so that his vision of the show will be different than his father's that can stand out and be better
in comparison he tells all the actors to play their roles with greater impact everybody is
impressed that oga has his head in the game now ren tells yashiro that he needs to step up his game
too and intense kyouko comes up to them and she's and he's like what's up kyouko and she asks ren
if he's gonna scold her for being so unprofessional ren's like well yeah i guess i was annoyed that
you just like up and left the set and i would have been really pissed off if you just did that for
like no reason but clearly you were still working so like it's all good you know it worked out um
and he also says that he likes her interpretation of the character and kyouko is happy about that
yeah she's always going to him is like okay i flap my hand i know i did something bad you're the one
to deliver the the punishment yeah he needs to be her dad
her mentor i need you to punish me i think they know what their dynamic is going to be like
oh she did have a dad right so that's true that never comes out really it doesn't
is it doesn't we ever talk about her dad in the manga way way into the manga
gonna be an angelic layer thing all over again where it just never comes up we never think about
the dad ever doesn't exist dang um let's see the shooting starts with kyouko uh then we cut to show
in full elf devil costume uh he's going home and doesn't want to change because he wants to go home
right now and some guy from his company is like hey man it's crazy that one of the actresses in
your music video is going to be like on that tv show reboot now that's weird huh and she was like
what and his manager kyouko tries to distract him um but she doesn't she doesn't do this i'm sorry
what was her name shoko shoko yeah i everyone's gotta have moco shoko kyouko like yeah shoko
tries to describe distract him it does not work show looks at the poster for dark mood and sees
kyouko's name on it oh no this never comes up again in this episode um we immediately jump to a
flashback of corn slash ren giving kyouko the gem and she's like ooh a magic gem uh then we see
that this flashback is actually a dream that ren is having um he thinks back to the to earlier today
where kyouko explains her interpretation of meo uh where she says that her scar represents a curse
that keeps her angry and prevents her from being happy uh he wonders if she still actually believes
in like fairies and magic gems and curses and stuff he walks out of the shower to see a dvd of
the old tv show on his table and thinks about what he's gonna do next we cut to an intense scene
between meo and her sister mizuki um the cast members all talk about kyouko's performance
one of them let's slip they think that she might be better than the original meo right in front of
izuka who played her izuka says it's fine because she actually agrees she likes kyouko's
interpretation better ren thinks that kyouko has totally grasped the role of meo correction um
mizuki's her cousin uh all right sorry yeah yeah missau is the name of her sister which we don't
really see um who doesn't yeah so much of this episode is like about the story of this thing
but like there's only two more episodes left so i'm like i don't feel like i really need to recap
this like it kind of doesn't matter yeah yeah yeah um let's see kyouko and ogata the scene ends and
kyouko and ogata walk over to ren ogata thanks ren for showing up on time because he had a commercial
to record earlier today um ren says he's all good because he ate on the way so he's ready to go and
kyouko accuses ren of eating poorly and gets mad at yashiro for letting him eat so poorly uh the
actress for mizuki sees ren and kyouko talking her posse is jealous that kyouko gets to spend time
with ren but um she's wondering if ren who has like a reputation of being like an intimidating
co-star because he's like so good at acting just hasn't really been acting for real yet because
she's so far pretty underwhelmed i also like that she because she's got like those two chicks her
little groupies following her kind of smack talking kyouko that she immediately is like
well if you want to get to know ren just go talk to him don't like disparage someone that
but oh yeah talking to him yeah just like you could just go talk to him like it's not a big deal
yes yeah um ren tells kyouko that he stayed up all night watching the original show she's like wow
if that were me that would probably like affect how i played the part if i was like looking looking
at that right before i had to do it uh ren says that he wanted to know how the old actor played
the part so he could improve upon it like the director wants um shooting starts for a scene
that ren's in and kyouko thinks that explanation is kind of odd in retrospect shouldn't he have
already watched the show if that was like if he was planning on doing that like why do you do it
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
get called on by the director for not being convincing enough of a lover in the scene that
he's in which apparently i guess the first scene he needs to interact with um mezuki as like a love
interest um and kyouko thinks that he might have a problem after all we get a montage of ren's
characters ridiculously sad character backstory uh the long story short is that mio's dad killed
his character's dad and he's out for revenge um but he also is gonna fall in love with mio's cousin
so complex feelings i'm gonna not correct since it doesn't matter what okay what's wrong
his dad survives it's his dad is basically i don't know if the car was like uh jeopardized or
uh messed with but he's the driver so technically his dad is the one you killed her family but like
wasn't really the one coordinating it um so he's like now my dad is like racked with guilt
and i know the person responsible for it okay so like mio's dad gets his brother killed yeah
who's mezuki's dad orchestrates it yep and it gets pinned on ren's character's dad
yep because it's a car crash and he's the driver but ren somehow knows a ren's character somehow
knows that this was a setup and is now trying to get revenge on mio's dad for what he did to his dad
so he's engaged to one of his daughters so that's a good end to wait ren's character is engaged to
mio's sister yeah okay but he's gonna fall in love with mezuki uh his fiance because he doesn't mean
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
teacher yeah okay all right this actually sounds like a pretty good drama to be honest like i know
i'm saying yeah it's very dramatic to follow but it's pretty good yeah it seems like a soap opera
maybe but oh yeah this is some twin peaks shit this is this is good yeah uh let's see yeah anyway
we learn all that it doesn't really matter ren's having problems with the scene and has to do multiple
retakes yashiro is worried because this is really unusual for ren to have to do so many retakes
like normally he just gets it in one uh director oh god it tells ren that he used to show more ambivalence
towards his love interest mezuki uh because he likes her but also her adopted father is evil
and he's getting revenge on his dad and i guess she's also involved because her dad also died in
that and also he is her teacher um so there should be a lot happening here um ren should be acting
more conflicted oh god it tells him that if he can keep that conflict in his performance then he
can surpass the original show ren tries to do the take again but freezes up oh god i apologize for
putting too much pressure on him uh but ren tells him that that's not it kyouko in a voiceover tells
us that ren is unable to play the role as we cut to credits in like a weird ominous voiceover yeah
that sounds like there's gonna be a time skip um no there's another time okay i see what you're
saying she's speaking like and at that moment red couldn't play the role and then it's like we cut
to like six months later or something no no no no definitely not that um but right she's like
admires him so much and it's weird because she's being praised so much and she's just a beginner
now the guy that she looks up to is uh struggling in his role because he's not a method actor
no that's right you should have the spirit of whatever this guy's name came over him he doesn't
it well if he just admits that he likes kyouko then that's very similar like being a teacher
to student versus like him being older than kyouko so like he has like a real world um thing
that he could be pulling inspiration from yeah is that the answer don't do it for the not for yeah
what oh i got hit on this high schooler for my job i mean that's that's how it's gonna end right
like it's the analog of his relationship with kyouko has to be the analog with this character's
relationship with musikey because i don't know what we'll see in the next two because there's
another way to solve it for him it's the only option right clearly he's not able to figure this out
which is weird because like i don't know because the thing that so like the conversation he had
with lori about like not being able to like be a kind of lover is more like when you're in it
you know what i mean like it's the you're not being possessive enough you're not being like
desperate enough or not desperate but you're not being like uh control not controlling but you're
not trying to like take charge over it right i guess that's what he's supposed to be doing here
but it's such an early scene that this is like the you need to acknowledge that you're falling in
love part so like rent just hasn't fallen in love at all with anybody right yeah so that's what
why was he dating these people dating he must have been miserable yes i mean i could see it being like
if i date this huge actor it'd be good for my career if i must follow actor because oh for sure
i'm on the yeah um also i feel like chicks just fall for him just because of his face and his
gentlemanly persona so it's not like they're really that inch either like genuinely yeah chicks
say they're into you but they didn't know you when you were corn that's right yeah anyway
looks like rent's gonna blow it and that's how we end this episode i know we only had two more
episodes i don't remember what we finish on um we gotta get to an end quick yeah it doesn't seem
like we're gonna have a big season finale moment resolution to be honest yeah i'm gonna have to
uh should i like tell kind of i yeah i guess next episode when we wrap up whatever is
unconcluded from the show i can give answers to without like going further into the story um
because everyone should read the manga it's so good yeah well we'll have a cutoff point where
like we won't you know we'll just talk about the show and then we'll have a point where we'll cut
off and you know if you we don't want to get spoiled or anything for the manga we won't do
anything there and then basically i could just ask you questions about how things turn out yeah okay
yay that sounds good we can do it like that but yeah that you know these two episodes not a lot of
like character stuff going on other than it seems like um ren real into kiyoko kiyoko
not particularly anymore into ren than usual other than she looks at him to punish her
yeah she's not looking at romantically at all basically he's like an entity of acting that she
goes to for inspiration and to like criticize her and stuff so he's more like a it's a role he has
more so than who he is kind of oh yeah mm-hmm she's projecting what yes what'll happen what would
have to happen to me right because we also have show is kind of the second male lead like
i so don't care about show like this so doesn't matter to me
mm-hmm um yeah i i'm not invested in that at all who cares well that's that's episodes 22 and 23
of skit beat yep well well uh next time the last two next time yep and then i guess next episode
i'll announce what we're watching next as well yeah look forward to that yeah we made sure it's
extremable we know it's extremable so we won't have to do a correction that's right
yeah that was okay well now we know moving forward that we need to check the streaming
landscape for shojo is so bad it is it's crazy yeah it's the end uh i feel like i don't know
shojo's always been stronger as a manga uh media the anime magical girl is like slightly
action-y so i guess that's why it like does better animated but like all these other ones i feel like
they just everyone reads them rather than watch yeah i mean i guess format wise it's a little
bit easier too right because like magical girl you can do like monster of the week kind of thing
so you can just keep pumping out episodes monster of the week like power rangers yeah i mean that's
what the format's called where it's like this week a big monster that makes people in the puppets
i guess that kind of happens that happens in carcass soccer as well yeah it's just an easy way
it's like an easy format to do a lot of stuff for like our one year anniversary we could do car
capture soccer my favorite i mean we'll cover it it's just it's a lot of episodes i know i know
it's so good well that one only has like 52 episodes or something and like two movies which i guess we
could do bonus we would have to do movies no those would be episodes normal episodes but not plot
it doesn't matter we have to watch the whole thing we have to engage with the whole thing
it doesn't matter if it's they made it you know what i mean like i'm interested to see what they
put on the screen i don't care what's canon um and then right because we've been doing this for about
eight months now so go us freaking doing yep we're still going strong we got a plan we got some
things in the tank we kind of have a little bit of a roadmap in terms of what we want to cover or
at least like how we want to transition from show to show yeah we're gonna try to space it out a
little bit so i you know i don't just make us watch all of the oldest shows of all time
yeah um and we don't just end up watching shows that are a gajillion episodes yes long there are
70 episodes of card capture sakura oh damn okay 70 but ah fine it's three seasons i mean we could
even do it because like it is that monster of the week thing up to a certain point in the show so
maybe like for that phase of the show we do more in one episode and then like more dedicated oh yeah
yeah i mean we might do the thing we talked about doing the thing um where we watch one season of
something and then we take a break and watch something else then we come back to the second
season like we did all of kimmy to doke in a row because those aren't very long yeah we could for
the longer ones break them yeah break them up a bit yep so we'll see but if you guys have any
shows you want us to cover you can hit us up on socials uh or email us and all that we'll get to
how you can do that in a bit but first let's do our recommendations i'm gonna start since i already
basically did all the talking for it i'll go recommend i could recommend dragon age the veil guard uh
because so if you like kind of quick paste combo uh combat and you like making your own character
that you get to see interacting with the world and have romance and stuff like that um you should
check out dragon age i think this one can be standalone like you don't have to really know
the previous games it certainly enriches the experience but you could always probably watch
like a youtube video of like what you should know before playing veil guard um and yeah so
wreck make make me happy play it because i was like watching someone streaming it and they called
it mid and then my like cheeks caught on fire and i was like how could they like i love this game
how could they call it mid um i guess people have different opinions it's fine on people
who have opinions about stuff a lot of people don't like the stuff i like a lot of my friends
don't like the stuff i like and like this they could just be wrong it's fine i mean you can
i i just like i just don't i just buy where has made improvements here and i don't want them to
think that they haven't buy anyone saying bad stuff but i think they know i think they know if
their product or if their game is good or not okay all right boom easy peasy my recommendation
didn't give you enough time to come up with yours how about you do legend cora since i saw
you had your little fire ferret behind you um no i'm not gonna let you tell me what my recommendation
is gonna be i already knew what my recommendation was gonna be okay just because i have a pop in
the background doesn't mean it needs to be legend of cora i watched last or on halloween i watched
the um bound footage horror movie clover field for the first time from 2008 i watched it recently
too i'd never seen it before and it was pretty fun you know like i didn't have you know i knew a
little bit about this movie um but i was i had never seen it i'd seen the 10 clover field lane
which is a much more of like a thriller kind of film which i do like but it's like totally different
right it's not like a monster movie it's like a totally different thing um so i'd never actually
seen the you know original movie uh it was pretty fun i liked it quite a bit um lots of good like
set pieces i you know the whole time i was watching i was kind of wondering like how did they how did
they film this like how did you get this kind of camera shot this kind of thing um it's a fairly
straightforward action movie you know it's about a big giant monster that attacks new york and it's
from the perspective of some people at a party and it's like a all through the camera work of like
amateur you know just like recording stuff for this party and then everything is filmed through
that kind of camera lens so it's like a fun pretty effective uh i guess set up for a movie yeah i think
it looks pretty good i think it holds up pretty well the kind of stuff with the character work is
like sort of interesting there's this kind of fun thing they do where um they're over like they're
filming over a tape so at different parts um some film from a previous yeah from a previous type when
they film something will pop up during it and that's like a pretty fun juxtaposition i enjoyed that
pretty well so yeah yeah pretty good i i enjoyed it more than i thought i was going to it's not that
long yeah because i feel like some people said like oh the camera like that makes me nauseous or
something like that or you barely see the monster blah blah blah if you get motion sick this might
mess you up a little bit because it is a lot of like jerky camera movements that doesn't bother me
uh but i know it does bother some people have you watched hardcore henry that movie filmed on gopros
where it's like all first person i've not i kind of want to watch it apparently because uh my boss
i guess worked on that film because he used to like do animation stuff but he said it was a nightmare
to capture everything on a gopro that does sound bad that does sound like it's hard yeah i just
seem interesting though i know it seems cool it's like almost parkour uh ish but yeah because i
i what Blair witch projects the other like big one that's like yeah that movie rules ish i haven't
seen it but it's so good uh yeah there isn't that much like running action in that so it doesn't
yeah and also like yeah the camera is like a whole rig right like the guy is holding it on his
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
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
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
they're like let me see let me look at the actors and see if they've done anything else since then
because they were kind of i know like at the time they were uh not big name yeah let's see but yeah
donnie i do like when as right i've made this complaint before like you always just see the
aftermath of something like this so it's fun to see like on the streets footage of like what it'd
be like to experience first hand whatever the disaster may be and like was the organization
of local authorities look like and stuff like that uh yeah so it looks like one of the actors
is still already active i haven't seen anything on this filmography though i mean the one the
the one who plays the or the the woman she's retired from acting according to a computer
she became a medical marijuana grower which is very funny um and then the other guy was in a
couple of things yeah he's also in a couple of things just not like a huge amount of guys and
a pretty decent number of things but i don't recognize any of them i don't know if he's like
in neighbor i don't know he seems he's very goofy anyways yeah what it's this clover field and then
clover field lame and then wasn't there something else recently uh there's the clover field paradox
okay yeah i haven't seen that i've not seen that either apparently there's another one in production
somewhere so okay a franchise that's still alive i guess yes um well those are our recommendations
