1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,800
There you go. That was a forceful clap.

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:04,760
The odds were like, what happened?

3
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:05,960
Yes.

4
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:07,840
OK. All right.

5
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:16,720
Turn your camera on so I look at you instead of like looking away from things.

6
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,040
So I like look at the. I forgot we do that.

7
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:25,280
OK, that way it's like I'm talking to you and then I face you and not like

8
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,240
wherever I'm normally looking.

9
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,400
Uh-huh. My wife will just be in my face.

10
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:33,520
So you won't see me.

11
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:35,360
She'd also.

12
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,000
Oh, let me get my notes pulled up.

13
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,400
And make sure my phone is on silent.

14
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:47,000
OK, dookie and my notes.

15
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:49,560
The new show.

16
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,120
Yeah, I mean, big energy.

17
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,480
OK. Oh.

18
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,360
New people could be listening.

19
00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,360
OK. OK.

20
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,000
Oh, this water bottle is leaking.

21
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,960
Oops. Good thing it was in my bag with my laptop.

22
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,360
OK. All right.

23
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,040
Freaking do this.

24
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,280
OK. Ohio.

25
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:22,640
Right.

26
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:23,880
Right.

27
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,400
That's our open salvo out the gate being like.

28
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:28,840
Jeff.

29
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:30,640
People are thinking of Japanese phrases.

30
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,880
No, yeah. I don't think that.

31
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,640
Hello, listeners.

32
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,680
All the new. Here we go.

33
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:40,680
OK.

34
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,200
Reasons.

35
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,680
Greetings, fellow anime enthusiasts.

36
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,000
It is I, Sarah, joined by Joe.

37
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:55,000
And we make up the podcast show Joe where we talk about show Joe anime,

38
00:01:55,600 --> 00:02:02,840
mostly me, Sarah, showing Joe, Joe Joe, hence the name and the spelling and all

39
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:04,400
that. Pretty brilliant.

40
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:05,400
Am I right?

41
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,440
Yeah. Such a good name.

42
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:08,440
Yeah.

43
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:09,880
Is this right? Yes.

44
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:11,600
It's brilliant.

45
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,440
If only we thought of it.

46
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,680
Yes. My sister gets the credit for that.

47
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,120
It was just right there and I didn't see it.

48
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:22,560
So that's us.

49
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:28,240
And today we are covering a new anime series,

50
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:35,640
Chihaifuru, which I think is technically Joe say and not show Joe,

51
00:02:35,640 --> 00:02:38,800
but it's not like Joe say in a mature way.

52
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:39,800
Really?

53
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,240
I don't know why I categorize as that.

54
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:43,840
Well, Joe say is like.

55
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:49,760
More for women where show Joe is for like kind of girls, like young girls,

56
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,280
young adults and Joe say, I don't know.

57
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:57,160
A lot of the slut is Joe say tagged.

58
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:03,040
Yeah, I guess there are some clean ones, apparently, and this is one of them.

59
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,640
So it's like it's like overlapping.

60
00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:08,040
Yeah. So they overlap.

61
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:10,040
And it's just.

62
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:14,640
It seems like relatively one day ways. Yeah, it's just that the themes,

63
00:03:14,640 --> 00:03:19,240
I guess, typically it's more like whereas show Joe is like school life

64
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:23,040
or magical girl and you Joe say is like.

65
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,840
You're an adult and like real life, like, I don't know.

66
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,240
It's a lot of like office work spaces and.

67
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:36,840
Or like serious drama or, you know, things like that.

68
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,640
Or that make up. I'm reading the Wikipedia page.

69
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,240
OK, yeah, I may.

70
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,040
I'm determined to write a more clear.

71
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:50,240
This says on the Wikipedia page for Joe say manga, it says the term originated

72
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,520
by critics and academics in the late 90s to determine or distinguish all

73
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,280
men manga aimed at adult women from show Joe manga.

74
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,240
While not commonly used among general Japanese audiences,

75
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:03,040
they term mostly most commonly used by Western audiences to describe this

76
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,840
category of manga. So it is a academic distinction, I guess,

77
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:11,440
more so than an actual like difference in marketing, it seems like.

78
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:12,440
Sure.

79
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,240
I mean, I guess that makes sense.

80
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:18,240
Like, because, you know, like Western cartoons tend to have a tendency

81
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:23,040
to either be for children explicitly or for be adults explicitly.

82
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:24,040
Right.

83
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:29,240
There is very little in between of like SpongeBob and Family Guy, right?

84
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:33,040
Yeah. Whereas like anime is all in between that stuff.

85
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,040
I mean, I guess comics is a little bit different because you have superhero

86
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:41,440
comics that are both obviously for kids and then like more adult gritty ones.

87
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,240
So there's like a bit of a transition point there as well.

88
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,240
Yeah. So bit more fluid.

89
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,240
So I should be expecting some like real hot scenes.

90
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:55,240
No, I should expect some like someone's going to get decapitated.

91
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:59,240
And seeing in like episode 10. Yeah.

92
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:03,240
Someone like hits the card too hard and just slices their opponent.

93
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:04,240
Yeah.

94
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:12,240
No, no, no. I think it's I guess it's just I don't know why it's almost a sport

95
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,240
thing in my honestly.

96
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:19,240
And it just has the other stuff sugar or sprinkled in.

97
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:24,240
So I think it's just a little bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a

98
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,240
bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of fun.

99
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:31,240
So it's just a little bit of of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit

100
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,240
of a bit of a bit of fun.

101
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:38,240
So I it's kind of a bizarre labeling, but we're counting it.

102
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,240
We're covering it.

103
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:45,240
So either you've been listening to us up to this point and you kind of

104
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:51,240
yay, another fun adventure with Sarah and Joe or you're new.

105
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:55,560
We get some really interesting conversation about the distinction between, I guess, marketing

106
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:56,560
terms.

107
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:57,560
Yes.

108
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,880
Or in this case, academic terms more or less.

109
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:02,880
Yeah.

110
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:11,000
I'm trying to think of how I would describe our podcast, but I guess I am the airhead

111
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,600
of the podcast and just the one with like the expert.

112
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,880
You know, you've seen these shows.

113
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:18,880
You're not the airhead.

114
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:20,760
Who knows things?

115
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:28,840
I have seen the show and I have been the targeted demographic, but I don't look at things as

116
00:06:28,840 --> 00:06:31,760
critically as you do.

117
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,520
Or like, you know, I don't ponder things deeply.

118
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,880
So like we get both kind of like you.

119
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:39,560
You know, just leave this.

120
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:40,560
Okay.

121
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,560
Well, I like to, I don't know.

122
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,080
Well, I mean, I'm a bit nerd.

123
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,960
So it'd be like, oh, yes, the academic study of whatever the hell because that's just who

124
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:52,000
I am now because I went to school, but I don't.

125
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,000
Does that make it better?

126
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,080
Is that, is that make for a better conversation?

127
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:56,640
I kind of feel like it's exhausting.

128
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,600
So I'm thinking we've got it all.

129
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:00,960
You've got it all.

130
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,840
We've covered the two ways you could enjoy a thing by having actual joy and enjoying

131
00:07:04,840 --> 00:07:10,320
a thing and me has to like read everything through a lens.

132
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:11,320
Yes.

133
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:18,440
Well, yeah, so if you're just here for ships and giggles or for like looking closer at

134
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:25,240
things, we're the, we're the podcast for you in either case.

135
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:32,200
And so typically we do our intro here and then now we'll do a little catch up, just

136
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,440
some galpallon here.

137
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:41,160
Uh, Joe and I do not get to hang out.

138
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,480
No, because we do not live anywhere remotely closely to each other.

139
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:51,160
So this is like our big friendship platform segment in the first segment.

140
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:52,720
Sarah gives us an update on the Texas weather.

141
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:53,720
How is it?

142
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:59,440
Yes, normally I'm bitching about how hot it is.

143
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:00,960
This week is this week.

144
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,480
It is getting better.

145
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:10,000
Like it's still kind of, and this is typical of Texas where it's like, oh, now it's chilly

146
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,240
in the morning and evenings, but still hot.

147
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:18,960
And like the sun is burning you if you're wearing a jacket midday.

148
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:20,360
But we're like getting closer.

149
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:25,360
I'm just really hoping this is for real the start of our fall.

150
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:30,360
Uh, in my mind, Texas has summer and winter and that's it.

151
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,120
And it's not evenly split.

152
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:39,560
Um, but yeah, so like I, you know, it was like 60 when I went to the dog park this morning

153
00:08:39,560 --> 00:08:40,840
and it was lovely.

154
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:45,120
I just had to stand in the shade, but it's lovely, lovely weather.

155
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:46,120
Good.

156
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:47,120
Um, yeah.

157
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,960
So it's finally be outside for a couple of hours.

158
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:51,440
Well, I don't know about that.

159
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:52,440
I'll still get sunburned.

160
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,440
It doesn't matter how cold it is.

161
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:55,880
So it can only get so much better.

162
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:57,280
We need the sun not to be out.

163
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,000
Well, now I can like turn now.

164
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,280
I'd well now that I don't have the ferrets anymore.

165
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,080
It's like just me, the two dogs and the cat.

166
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:14,040
I'm, I'm gonna, we're going to see how long we can go with no AC or a heater on just cause

167
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:18,240
the ferrets were so temperature sensitive, but now I'm like, look, we can just not go

168
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,680
for a warm and save a buck.

169
00:09:20,680 --> 00:09:22,680
Um, in the winter.

170
00:09:22,680 --> 00:09:28,680
But, um, so there's the weather report from yours truly.

171
00:09:28,680 --> 00:09:31,760
Um, how else has it been going?

172
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:32,760
Good.

173
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:38,200
So last weekend I, so I'm the maid of honor for my sister who's getting married in about

174
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:44,000
a year and we went to try on some wedding dress or she went to try some wedding dresses

175
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:51,880
and I accompanied her and, um, she like freaking incredible in every single one.

176
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:56,480
So she's got her work cut out for her, like narrowing it down.

177
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,960
Um, but I mean, it took a lot longer than I thought.

178
00:09:59,960 --> 00:10:04,360
I was like, Oh, this is going to be a few hours and then I'll get back and play some

179
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:05,520
Dragon Age or something.

180
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:10,880
But it was like all day endeavor and she hasn't picked one yet.

181
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,520
So I have a feeling I'll be doing that again soon.

182
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,240
Um, let's see.

183
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,440
I got to learn to like fluff.

184
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:25,040
I don't know what they, I'm like in charge of the train of the dress, I guess, like

185
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:30,320
making it look good and all the photos and stuff, so I got to be practicing.

186
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:36,080
You know, it makes me think of an elementary school when they have that like rainbow circle

187
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:41,840
tarp that everyone like flaps to make it all wavy and like someone goes under it.

188
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:42,840
Do you remember that?

189
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:43,840
Did you guys play that?

190
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,400
You're like with the big parachute parachute.

191
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:48,400
That's the word.

192
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:49,400
Yeah.

193
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,720
I was like, that's why I'm imagining it's gonna be like, I don't think I'm supposed

194
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,160
to use quite as much force.

195
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:55,160
Yeah, no.

196
00:10:55,160 --> 00:11:00,080
Uh, well, it depends what kind of length we're looking at on the train.

197
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,680
But um, but yeah, that's been it.

198
00:11:03,680 --> 00:11:05,880
Uh, really Dragon Age.

199
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:09,480
I've like slowed down drastically because I think I feel it.

200
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,960
The end is near and I don't really want it to be over.

201
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:19,840
Um, so I'm like slowing down on that, but Love Island Australia is going.

202
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,240
So I'm super happy about that.

203
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:29,200
And I think so nothing like super life changing life altering.

204
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,200
Did you watch the anime?

205
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,800
Um, I watched Hiya through.

206
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:34,800
Um, of course.

207
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:35,800
Good.

208
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:36,800
Let's see.

209
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:37,800
I tried.

210
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:39,600
I feel like I just tried.

211
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:40,600
Okay.

212
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,600
I watched like the first three episodes.

213
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,760
I do number eight.

214
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:45,760
Okay.

215
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,760
Um, I don't know.

216
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:49,760
I don't know.

217
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,200
Not interesting, you know, like he's old.

218
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,400
No, he's like our age.

219
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,400
Don't tell him all that.

220
00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,400
No, I don't hate that.

221
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,760
Um, he's old for like a shown and jump.

222
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:03,760
Yes.

223
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:04,760
Yes.

224
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:11,680
Well, I feel like it's hard cause shown in.

225
00:12:11,680 --> 00:12:14,520
Like a lot of them follow the same formula.

226
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:20,680
So it's like, I feel like I've seen this before, you know, just with like different looking

227
00:12:20,680 --> 00:12:21,680
characters.

228
00:12:21,680 --> 00:12:26,520
Um, not that I do want to give like a brief summary of it just in case no one's ever

229
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:27,520
heard of it before.

230
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:28,520
Uh, sure.

231
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:29,520
Okay.

232
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:30,520
Let's go.

233
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:31,520
Let's go.

234
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:32,520
Five seven summary.

235
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:33,520
Really.

236
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:34,520
Um, okay.

237
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,520
Kaiju number eight.

238
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:41,520
It's like this world where Kaiju, which is that just the Japanese word for monster.

239
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,520
Yeah, it's like a genre of like, yeah.

240
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:45,520
There's other ones.

241
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,520
So it's like a world.

242
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,520
There's like a mill.

243
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:57,520
I don't know if it's government or there's a military force that takes care, like takes

244
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:58,520
out these Kaiju.

245
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,520
And I guess they just pop up randomly.

246
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:07,520
So it's like, dang, you got to have Frenchers insurance or you can't get right.

247
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:13,520
Uh, but like when they destroy these Kaiju, they like explode and their guts get everywhere.

248
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:21,520
And so our protagonist works on like the cleanup crew where they like clean all the disgusting

249
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,520
bits of the Kaiju.

250
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:28,520
But I guess he's like been wanting to be one of these officers that hasn't passed the test.

251
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,520
Blah, blah, blah.

252
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:36,520
Uh, something weird happens and this disgusting, weird, weird, weird, weird, weird, weird, weird,

253
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:40,520
disgusting little Kaiju like crawls into his mouth, gross.

254
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:44,520
And then like he turns into a humanoid Kaiju.

255
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:52,520
And, um, I guess he's going to be like, I'm special and I can be in the force as a Kaiju

256
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,520
to fight Kaiju, blah, blah, blah.

257
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,520
I'm assuming I have not watched very much of it.

258
00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,520
Um, setting wise.

259
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,520
Do you ever watch Pacific Rim?

260
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,520
Yeah, that's similar to that.

261
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,520
I'm like, I'm going to have like the cleanup.

262
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:07,520
Yeah.

263
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:08,520
The music rules.

264
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:09,520
Okay.

265
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,520
So I'm so good.

266
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,520
Um, so I tried that.

267
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:19,520
I was going to try Dan to Dan or whatever just because something.

268
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:20,520
Yeah.

269
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:24,520
Tell me to try it, but I'm like, it's going to be weird, isn't it?

270
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,520
I don't like weird.

271
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,520
I'm like, I don't know.

272
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:33,520
What do you think is going to be weird about like, is it like the supernatural stuff?

273
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:34,520
Yeah.

274
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:35,520
Oh, okay.

275
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:41,520
Cause I feel like if it's based off Japanese lore, I feel like those creatures are always

276
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,520
so scary or freaky looking.

277
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:45,520
Um, yeah.

278
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:46,520
Yeah.

279
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:47,520
I mean, they're monsters.

280
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:48,520
Yeah.

281
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:49,520
I know, but they're not.

282
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,520
Well, I think, I don't know.

283
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:52,520
It's like a drag.

284
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:53,520
It's easier to, yeah.

285
00:14:53,520 --> 00:15:00,520
It's easier route for them to take those gross ones out than if it was like a beast.

286
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:01,520
Yeah.

287
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:03,520
I don't find like Wolfman yet.

288
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:07,520
So I don't know if they're going to have you watch Wolf's reign.

289
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,520
I've not watched Wolf's reign.

290
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:10,520
You need to watch it.

291
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:11,520
It's so good.

292
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:12,520
Sorry.

293
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,520
That just came to mind.

294
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:15,520
Okay.

295
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:16,520
Oh, anyways.

296
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:21,520
Um, Joe, have yourself, what have you been up to?

297
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:22,520
Watch anything?

298
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,520
I feel like I've been super busy.

299
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,520
So my parents came to visit me last week.

300
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,520
They were in town for several days and we went and did a bunch of stuff for that.

301
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:31,520
It was pretty fun.

302
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,520
Um, it's kind of cold here.

303
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:38,520
So there was some stuff that was not as easy to do, like going outside and doing stuff

304
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:42,520
was not as good, which is, you know, I think that's like pretty fun to do.

305
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:46,520
Um, it's on this, but you know, uh, couldn't do that much.

306
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,520
So there was a lot of staying inside and eating, which was pretty good, except I'm not a big

307
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:50,520
stupid guy.

308
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:54,520
Um, so for me, it was a lot of staying inside and drinking, uh, which, which is also pretty

309
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:55,520
good.

310
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,520
So that was most of my week.

311
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,520
Um, I did get the chance to, I didn't want to go to the gym.

312
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,520
I did get the chance to, I didn't watch an anime.

313
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:09,520
I finished watching cyberpunk edge runners, which is the trigger show in the universe

314
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,520
of cyberpunk.

315
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:12,520
I think it came out.

316
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:13,520
Yeah.

317
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:18,520
It came out alongside that game in order to get people interested in the game after the

318
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,520
release was pretty rough.

319
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,520
Um, on Netflix, it was pretty good.

320
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:24,520
I did not play the game.

321
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:25,520
I have no interest in that game.

322
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,520
I do not like open world games.

323
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:31,520
I think open world games are bad most of the time.

324
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,520
So I was not very interested.

325
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,520
Um, that being said, I do kind of like the setting.

326
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:40,520
Um, well, one of the problems with that game, like when I watch, like I watched some friends

327
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:46,520
play and stuff like that, the humor in that game is not really my deal.

328
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:53,520
Uh, it's a lot of dark and like, I don't know, violent and sexual.

329
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:54,520
Yeah.

330
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:55,520
It's really violent.

331
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:59,520
I really, I feel like on the nose and kind of not that interesting sex jokes.

332
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:00,520
You know what I mean?

333
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:01,520
Like you could tell good sex jokes.

334
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,520
I think these were pretty lame.

335
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,520
Um, so I was not super into the game.

336
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,520
Uh, the show on the other hand does not do that nearly as much and is much better.

337
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,520
It's a, but like the thing with the show, okay.

338
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,520
So the show follows a kid named David.

339
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:20,520
Um, he has bad things happen to him and he kind of ends up on the street.

340
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:25,520
And so he ends up hooking up with this group of edge runners, which is like the term for

341
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,520
murder less mercenaries.

342
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:28,520
Yeah.

343
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,520
They're like mercenary hacker groups, right?

344
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:31,520
So some of them are hackers.

345
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,520
Some of them are like enforcer types.

346
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:37,520
Um, he acquires a like future tech thing.

347
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,520
So in the world of cyberpunk, everybody is like cybernetics, right?

348
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,520
So you can get like implants in your head.

349
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:47,520
You can also get like, you can replace your limbs with machinery, which can let you do

350
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:48,520
things.

351
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:52,520
Um, he gets one that lets him move very fast.

352
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:57,520
Um, like almost clockstopper kind of flip fast where it's like all of a sudden you're

353
00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,520
here and then all of a sudden you're there.

354
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:00,520
Um, which is cool.

355
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,520
The animation on that looks really cool.

356
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,520
And so it's basically just a story about him traveling with this crew and then the things

357
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:06,520
that happen.

358
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,520
Um, it's a trigger studio trigger thing.

359
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,520
I'm pretty sure let me make sure that's actually correct.

360
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,520
I'm pretty sure that's right.

361
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,520
Um, I've watched about half of that.

362
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:21,520
Um, of the show of cyberpunk or yeah, there's like a couple of girls that are popular cosplay

363
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:22,520
characters.

364
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:29,520
Uh, yeah, the, the, uh, the, the one with the pigtails and then the, the chick that hangs

365
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:30,520
out David.

366
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,520
Oh, Lucy and Rebecca.

367
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:33,520
Yeah.

368
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:34,520
That makes sense.

369
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,520
Not the, not Kiwi, the one that I like who has the weird mouth.

370
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,520
No, probably not that one.

371
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:43,520
Uh, but yeah, I mean his jacket is cool.

372
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:44,520
Yeah.

373
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:46,520
Yeah, the fashion is pretty cool.

374
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:47,520
I mean, you know, I like futuristic.

375
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,520
Like I like this kind of setting.

376
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:54,520
Uh, the genre, I mean, it ends up being kind of tragic and like a bunch of other stuff

377
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:55,520
happens.

378
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:59,520
It has the, the, everything that trigger makes always has this thing for me where like, you

379
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,520
know, the action is really good because they animate action really well.

380
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:07,520
But like there's something about the story that makes me just wish they did more.

381
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,520
Like I'm always just watching these shows and being like, man, I wish they like did more

382
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:14,520
with this and like really explored more of the ideas here than what it is, which is usually

383
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,520
like just ends up being like a fairly straightforward action show.

384
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:23,520
Uh, but that being said, it's a good straightforward action show and it has very colorful and it's

385
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,520
extremely violent.

386
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:26,520
Yeah.

387
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,520
I mean, it's cut.

388
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:38,520
I feel like cyberpunk is not a world that's like, I like how do we get to that point where

389
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,520
it's so desensitized to everything.

390
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:41,520
Yeah.

391
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:42,520
Like, yeah.

392
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:43,520
It's like a game.

393
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:47,520
The number of jailbows is insane.

394
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:48,520
Yeah.

395
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,520
Like it's in that game.

396
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:56,520
Cyberpunk as a, as a, like the vibe of it is closer to Mad Max than like Blade Runner.

397
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:57,520
You know what I mean?

398
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:01,520
Like the setting is like Blade Runner, but the vibe and like the way people act is way

399
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,520
closer to Mad Max, which I think is interesting.

400
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:05,520
Yeah.

401
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:06,520
Yeah.

402
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:14,520
But it's not my favorite type of sci-fi aesthetic feeling, what it evokes, that kind of thing,

403
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:15,520
but it's still pretty good.

404
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,520
You know, it's only like 10 episodes.

405
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:18,520
So it's on Netflix.

406
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,520
They have Netflix for that.

407
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:21,520
Yeah.

408
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:22,520
And you know, pretty good.

409
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:24,520
So that's what I watched.

410
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:25,520
Pretty solid.

411
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:26,520
Nice.

412
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:30,520
Other than that, not doing that much, you know, I'm catching up on behind on stuff.

413
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:35,520
I have to make a bunch of dishes for a friendsgiving later today.

414
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,520
You said you had your mom read a manga.

415
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:39,520
How did that go?

416
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,520
Did she like it?

417
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,520
Was she confused by anything?

418
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,520
Oh, I mean, she was just reading the first, like I was showing my mom because she was

419
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,520
interested from the previous.

420
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,520
Because she's a big fan now.

421
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,520
So like check it out at Barnes and Noble or whatever.

422
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:59,520
And you know, you read that right to left and like down diagonally the other way.

423
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:06,520
So I let her read some of the.

424
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:07,520
Which hat earlier.

425
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,520
Manga just to kind of get used to reading in that direction.

426
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:10,520
And you know, seems fine.

427
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:12,520
Just being used to so.

428
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,520
Is your mom going to buy skip eat the manga?

429
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:16,520
So you get that.

430
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:17,520
Okay.

431
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,520
Do you tell her she can read online?

432
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:21,520
I don't know.

433
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:22,520
Okay.

434
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:26,520
She wants to know what happens with Kyoko.

435
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:27,520
Yeah.

436
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,520
Well, that's fun.

437
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:30,520
I got my step.

438
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:32,520
I think I was like 14.

439
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,520
I got my stepdad to read Gacken Alice.

440
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,520
And he was like, what the hell is happening?

441
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:40,520
And he'll still reference it.

442
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:45,520
Like that punching teddy bear from that one thing.

443
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:46,520
And.

444
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:52,520
Because that one has a lot of like little author like.

445
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:56,520
Scribbles like contact scribbles, but they're so tiny.

446
00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:00,520
It's hard for someone with not the best vision to read.

447
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,520
But yeah, it's fun.

448
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:04,520
It's fun that they're willing to try.

449
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:05,520
Check them out.

450
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:06,520
Yeah.

451
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:11,520
Always, always try to get your family members to engage with

452
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:12,520
stuff you like, I guess.

453
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:13,520
Yeah.

454
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:15,520
But I, that's a big deal.

455
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:16,520
Let's see.

456
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,520
Do we want to roll into our new series?

457
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:20,520
Yeah.

458
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:21,520
I think so.

459
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:22,520
So.

460
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,520
You have like a little blurb you want to say or do you want

461
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,520
me just to roll into the.

462
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:31,520
My blurb about the production of this.

463
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,520
I first watched this.

464
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,520
I like, I watched it when it first came out and I was

465
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:40,520
absolutely enchanted by it.

466
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,520
I was like, oh my gosh, this is like the best thing ever.

467
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:45,520
So I had never watched a sports.

468
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,520
But like something about sports and it just like evokes

469
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:49,520
excitement.

470
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:50,520
Like.

471
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,520
Like you're rooting and like, oh my gosh, what's going to

472
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,520
happen?

473
00:22:55,520 --> 00:23:01,520
And so it's like really fun to watch it.

474
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:06,520
It came out in 2013, maybe the first season.

475
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,520
But I'm sure Joe will have the details on that.

476
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,520
But yeah, it's just been a favorite anime.

477
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:13,520
One of my top.

478
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,520
Animes since I first watched it over 10 years ago.

479
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,520
So that's what I've got to say about it.

480
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:20,520
Very pretty art.

481
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:21,520
Yeah.

482
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:23,520
So you read this.

483
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,520
No, I haven't read it actually.

484
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,520
I've never seen it for.

485
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:31,520
Well, I try and like, if it's something I would buy,

486
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,520
I don't want to read it online.

487
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:37,520
So I haven't, but also I have never seen it available

488
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:39,520
for purchase.

489
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:45,520
But yeah, I would, I should, but also I should like

490
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,520
not spend all my money on manga.

491
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,520
So this is bouncing.

492
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:52,520
Easy to do.

493
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:53,520
Yeah.

494
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,520
Yeah, you saw it firsthand.

495
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,520
I bought so many books.

496
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,520
Ohio has all the manga for some reason.

497
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:01,520
Yes.

498
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,520
Oh, yeah, that's all I got.

499
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:05,520
All right.

500
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:06,520
So here's what I got.

501
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,520
So she hired for the anime.

502
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,520
Or I guess I could talk about the manga for a second

503
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:14,520
because I just happened to look this up.

504
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,520
So it's.

505
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,520
Where is the the manga was first published in 2007

506
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,520
and spanned up to 2022.

507
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:28,520
It appeared in the manga magazine, be love and is

508
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,520
created by Yuki Tsutsuga.

509
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,520
Be love sounds like boys love boys love.

510
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:40,520
Yes, but it is not that the anime season one came out

511
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:45,520
in 2011 and it spanned in 2012.

512
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,520
So it was the first 25 episodes.

513
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:49,520
There are three seasons of it.

514
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,520
I guess it's with some gaps in between.

515
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,520
So season two, so they're all 25 episodes.

516
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:56,520
So there's 75 total episodes.

517
00:24:56,520 --> 00:25:00,520
Season two showed up basically immediately afterwards.

518
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:07,520
So that was 2013 is when that aired and then season three aired

519
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,520
in 2019 and went to 2020.

520
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:11,520
So pretty large gap.

521
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:12,520
Yeah.

522
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:14,520
Between season two and season three, which seems to be

523
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,520
a common theme in the show because Kimi, you said, OK,

524
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:18,520
also the genre.

525
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:19,520
Yes.

526
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:20,520
Yes.

527
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:22,520
I don't know.

528
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:27,520
Maybe these companies only have a tolerance for so much

529
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,520
show Joe and or they are like waiting for enough of a

530
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:34,520
fan base to grow to then release another season.

531
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:35,520
I don't know.

532
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:37,520
It gives me hope that maybe there will be another season

533
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,520
of these shows in the future at least.

534
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:41,520
Yeah.

535
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:42,520
Yeah.

536
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:47,520
So the anime was from Studio Madhouse, which does a lot of

537
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:48,520
stuff.

538
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:49,520
You've probably heard of them.

539
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:50,520
They've been active since the 70s.

540
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:51,520
They did Ninja Scroll.

541
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:52,520
They did Perfect Blue.

542
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:53,520
They did Death Note.

543
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:55,520
They did Cardcaptor Sakura.

544
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:57,520
They did the original Try Gun.

545
00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:59,520
They did the 2011 Hunter Hunter.

546
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:01,520
Most recently they've done stuff like Free Wren.

547
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:05,520
So they're, you know, big production studio has a lot of

548
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:06,520
stuff.

549
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,520
The director for this series or the person who's credited as

550
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,520
the director for the whole thing, essentially.

551
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,520
Whereas like often individual episodes can be directed by

552
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,520
other people, but I guess you have like one chief director

553
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,520
is Mario Osaka.

554
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:25,520
He appears to be like a pretty long stay with Madhouse.

555
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,520
So he has directed things or is credited as like the chief

556
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:32,520
director of stuff, including Cardcaptor Sakura, basically

557
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:33,520
all of it.

558
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:34,520
Yeah.

559
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:41,520
My love story, Ace of Diamond, all of Nana, monster, things,

560
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,520
things of that nature.

561
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:47,520
So quite a bit of stuff that we will probably, yeah, we will

562
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:49,520
probably get some of those.

563
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:50,520
Yeah.

564
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:52,520
Nana is another Jose for sure.

565
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:57,520
Definitely more suited for that genre association than

566
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:02,520
Chihaya Furu, but give it Mario Osaka.

567
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,520
Give you all the good stuff.

568
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:06,520
So quite a bit.

569
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,520
Cornedium to be.

570
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:10,520
No, good stuff.

571
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:11,520
Yeah.

572
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:12,520
I like Skip B.

573
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,520
Where there's a bunch of random people.

574
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:19,520
Like it seems like who skipped B was the height of this career.

575
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:22,520
This is the benefit of having a studio that sticks around for a

576
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,520
long time is that you can have people that have long careers at

577
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:27,520
it and so they can touch a bunch of different stuff.

578
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,520
I mean, the other, you know, the other shows we've had.

579
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:31,520
Who did Angelic Layer again?

580
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:33,520
I don't remember.

581
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:37,520
I feel like you said it was, was it not?

582
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:39,520
Aren't they also another big one?

583
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,520
It was like a boner or something.

584
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:43,520
Oh yeah, Bone Studio Bones.

585
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,520
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

586
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:46,520
Yeah.

587
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:48,520
So we're going to, we're going to, the more we do, we're going

588
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:50,520
to run into the same studios over again.

589
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:53,520
So far, I don't think we've had any repeats.

590
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:55,520
Nope.

591
00:27:55,520 --> 00:28:00,520
But that's because we're trying to keep it.

592
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,520
With some variety.

593
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,520
We are not.

594
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:09,520
Believe it or not, we are not paying a lot of attention to the

595
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:10,520
production studio.

596
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,520
Would we decide what we're going to watch next?

597
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:16,520
Yeah, Joe's not anyone who pays to listen to that.

598
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:19,520
It'll start paying off when we get some repeats, when we get some

599
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:23,520
of the same people here, we could talk about how they, I don't know.

600
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,520
Maybe we're going to find we'll watch She Hire a Furu and then

601
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,520
we'll watch Nano and be like, ooh, this, this guy really likes this kind

602
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:30,520
of, well, I guess it's not written by the same person, but, you

603
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,520
know, camera shots, I don't know what the director does.

604
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:37,520
I was going to say, like, what does the director do within

605
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:39,520
animated series?

606
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,520
Like, I'm not that I'm in my mind.

607
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:46,520
They're just the person he like, coordinates and then watches

608
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:50,520
things unfold and then either gives the thumbs up or thumbs down.

609
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,520
But yeah, it seems we should go into this at a later point.

610
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:55,520
When I look at the Wikipedia for animation director, they just

611
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:58,520
kind of are in charge of the aspects of the animation process,

612
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:01,520
which I can't tell if that's like an administrative job more

613
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,520
than like how like a creative job, right?

614
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:06,520
So I assume that they're involved in like storyboards and stuff,

615
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,520
but like, who knows, maybe they really are just doing a bunch

616
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,520
of logistics all the time.

617
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:13,520
Yeah, we'll look into that later.

618
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:14,520
I'll look into that later.

619
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:15,520
That could be my homework.

620
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,520
Anyway, so for this show, we watched the first two episodes.

621
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,520
We're going to cover two episodes for as long as we think we can do

622
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:22,520
that.

623
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,520
If we think we can get away with three, then we will start doing

624
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,520
three, but at the at the at the moment, we're going to do just

625
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:28,520
the first two.

626
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,520
Yes, I actually, I watched all three.

627
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:32,520
Oh, you watched the third one.

628
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:33,520
Cool.

629
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:34,520
Yeah, it's fine.

630
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:35,520
You can just sit on that.

631
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,520
Yep.

632
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:38,520
Yep.

633
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:39,520
Yep.

634
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,520
But to start, we've got episode one.

635
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:46,520
Episode one of Chihair Furu is called Now the Flower Blooms.

636
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,520
We love titles like this.

637
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:53,520
I feel like Skippy had the same similar titles of like.

638
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:57,520
Declared in sentences like this is happening now.

639
00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,520
Decorative and making sense.

640
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:00,520
Yes.

641
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:01,520
Yeah.

642
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:02,520
Okay.

643
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:04,520
So we open on a high school.

644
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:08,520
We learned that a new student there is the younger sister of a model.

645
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:12,520
And the model's name is Chitose Ayase.

646
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:16,520
Some boys are eager to meet her and see a mysterious flyer that

647
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:20,520
says, let's start a competitive karate club.

648
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:25,520
We see the beautiful transfer student grab the flyer and then

649
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:28,520
she stands on a chair and starts to hang it up on the Bolton board.

650
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,520
She seems a little weird because she's wearing a skirt over her

651
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,520
track pants and a teacher gets mad at her because she's like,

652
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:36,520
I told you not to wear, but she gets mad at her.

653
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:38,520
She's like, why are you wearing a track pants and a skirt?

654
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:41,520
And this chick is like, will you tell me not just to wear a skirt if

655
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,520
I'm standing on a, like a table or whatever chair.

656
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,520
She's like, okay, but like don't wear the skirt over the track suit.

657
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:49,520
It's like a whole back and forth thing, right?

658
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,520
Yeah, I guess so.

659
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,520
Yeah.

660
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:55,520
Go ahead. You go ahead.

661
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:57,520
She's a weirdo.

662
00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:59,520
Yeah, she's just kind of weird.

663
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:01,520
Kind of weird, maybe a little airhead-y.

664
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:03,520
Doesn't care what other people think.

665
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,520
Yeah.

666
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:07,520
On a mission.

667
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:09,520
Anyway, we got the OP.

668
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:11,520
I think she's a first year.

669
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:13,520
So that's why she's a new student.

670
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,520
Not that she's a transfer student.

671
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:18,520
She's just some sub-center transfer student.

672
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:20,040
So I'm a transfer student.

673
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:21,160
15.

674
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:21,640
Yeah.

675
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:22,560
This is their first year.

676
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:23,160
Yeah.

677
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:24,400
Yep.

678
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:25,160
Let's see.

679
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:27,640
So we jump back after the OP plays.

680
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:29,200
We learned that this girl is our main character.

681
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,880
Her name is Chihaya Ayase.

682
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:33,360
She's very disappointed that nobody

683
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:37,000
came to join a karate club, which we have not explained yet.

684
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:38,280
But that is the card game that we

685
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:40,200
are going to be playing in this show.

686
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,680
Her friend tells her to just join the track team instead,

687
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:44,720
because she was good at it before in middle school.

688
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,040
But Chihaya just says that she was just doing that to meet people

689
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:48,480
and she doesn't really care about that.

690
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:49,960
She's super bummed out because she wanted

691
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,800
to focus on Karuta in high school,

692
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:56,880
but can't because she doesn't have anybody to play with.

693
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,160
She kind of just like lazes around and doesn't really do much.

694
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,960
But we're eventually introduced to her childhood friend

695
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:03,720
named Tai Chi.

696
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,800
He tells her that her nickname is Beauty in Vein

697
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:08,160
because she doesn't do anything.

698
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:11,200
Nope around because she can't play this card game.

699
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:14,880
Well, she's listening to the poems being read.

700
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:18,360
That's what she was listening to on her little iPod.

701
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:19,560
OK, so that's part of the game.

702
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:21,640
I have a section where I explain how the game's played

703
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:22,040
in a little bit.

704
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:23,480
Yeah, yeah.

705
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:25,200
And Tai Chi, I don't remember who,

706
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:28,160
but his voice actor was in one of our other series.

707
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:33,080
Yeah, I'll do the voice actors a little bit later on in the series.

708
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:37,720
She's excited to learn that he went to her high school

709
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:41,520
because she thought he was going to go to a different high school.

710
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:43,280
So she's excited that he's here.

711
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:46,200
He clearly has a crush on her and she is acting like super

712
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,600
familiar with him, which makes him blush.

713
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:51,240
While waiting for the train, he gets a phone call from his girlfriend.

714
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,680
She high figures out that he has a girlfriend.

715
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:55,320
It is shocked.

716
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:57,240
Tai Chi tries to be nonchalant about it,

717
00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:00,400
but she is mostly bummed because if he has a girlfriend,

718
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:05,760
he probably won't play Karuna as seriously because this is her whole life.

719
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:08,040
It's like so dismissive.

720
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,080
Like, oh, yeah, I have a girlfriend,

721
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,680
but I'm just dating her because like a thing to do, you know.

722
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:15,240
Yeah, she asked me not.

723
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,360
He does not come across well in these episodes.

724
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,040
Particularly now he doesn't.

725
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:21,680
Nope. No.

726
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:25,680
Also, Karina is how I say it.

727
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,320
But yeah, I don't know.

728
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,120
Somebody somebody tell us we're right or wrong.

729
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:34,960
Anybody I mean, I could just pronounce it.

730
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:40,440
Well, I don't have the best track record of actually pronouncing things correctly.

731
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:42,920
Yeah, we can say whatever they know what they're talking about.

732
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:48,880
OK, so OK, at this point, we get just a flashback that lasts the next two episodes.

733
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:50,560
So we go into flashback mode.

734
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:58,280
It's like doesn't there's no visual like implication that we're in a different time.

735
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:00,920
It's just caught to her being a kid.

736
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:03,200
Yeah, it's just they're on the train.

737
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:08,120
She was bummed out because Tai Chi probably isn't going to play Karuna anymore.

738
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,280
And then all of a sudden it's like she explains that three years ago,

739
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:13,040
she got into Karuna.

740
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:16,600
Chi Haya was a tomboy and was good friends with Tai Chi at the time.

741
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,840
But when they were at what it was, I guess it was three years since she was supposed to be.

742
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:21,440
Well, they were in sixth grade.

743
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:23,040
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

744
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,840
OK. So they're in sixth grade.

745
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:29,840
There was a mysterious reclusive transfer student that was getting bullied by everybody else

746
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,040
because he was like a bumpkin, I guess.

747
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:35,960
They say where he's from, but I don't I don't I didn't look it up.

748
00:34:36,720 --> 00:34:38,520
Foucoui or something.

749
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:41,960
Yeah, his name is Arata Wataya.

750
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:46,040
He's getting bullied by everybody, but she hire a stands up for him

751
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:52,160
without kind of realizing she's doing this because her whole deal is she kind of just says stuff.

752
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:56,280
The first thing that comes to her mind very loudly without thinking.

753
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:57,480
Yeah, she's yeah.

754
00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:04,160
So I mean, because she's climbing them out and then it makes them look bad, like, you know, saying,

755
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:10,920
hey, you're bullying him, which most people maybe would try to do it more tactfully.

756
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,400
But she's just blind and oh, yeah.

757
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,960
Because they're like, they're like the weird phrases he says.

758
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,320
And she's like, why are you all being jerks?

759
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:21,560
And they're like, oh, yeah, it's pretty funny.

760
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:23,400
Yeah, they're being so mean.

761
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:24,880
Kids stink.

762
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:26,280
Yeah. Let's see.

763
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:29,120
Still in the flashback we cut to Arata on his paper route.

764
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:33,360
He's really good at memorizing stuff, which makes him awesome out of paper route.

765
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:40,720
He delivers the paper to Chihaya's place and finds her waiting outside in the rain for him to give her the paper.

766
00:35:40,720 --> 00:35:44,880
She gets the paper and then goes shows it to her sister who's in bed.

767
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:50,520
She's showing her like an article about a beauty contest that her sister was in but lost.

768
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:54,720
So she's like in the background of a camera shot of the person who won.

769
00:35:54,720 --> 00:35:57,080
Chihaya is very proud of her sister.

770
00:35:57,080 --> 00:36:00,800
But she does say her sister is annoyed that she lost and is like, go away.

771
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:09,800
Back at school, we learned that the students are assigned a task to memorize 100 poems as like part of a school assignment, I guess.

772
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:13,880
Chihaya couldn't do it, but Tai Chi and Arata both did.

773
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:18,920
So they both qualify for the Karuta tournament because memorizing these poems is part of this game.

774
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:20,880
So I guess it's a game that you play in middle school.

775
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:30,080
Chihaya suddenly realizes that Arata was the one who delivered the paper to her and stands up and shouts it out in front of the whole class just during class.

776
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:32,800
Because she just says whatever comes to her mind.

777
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:37,840
This causes everyone to think that Arata is poor and needs money from a job.

778
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:40,400
It turns out he is poor, but what?

779
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:46,400
Yeah, well, he's because he I think legally he's not supposed to be working.

780
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:50,000
Oh, yeah, there's like, yeah, yeah, blue is cover.

781
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:51,040
You blew something.

782
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:52,680
He did not want people to know.

783
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:55,400
She's she's very bad at sensitive.

784
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:57,040
She's just not aware.

785
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,480
Yeah, I think her that one.

786
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:01,400
Through all of this, Tai Chi is jealous that she high.

787
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:03,440
He's giving Arata attention.

788
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:07,880
He sees them talking after school and then shoves them both down in the rain.

789
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:13,320
Arata invites Chihaya over so he can clean up and his place is a little run down.

790
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:17,280
So he is, you know, he might he might need more money.

791
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:20,240
It's just them in the house and Arata is shy.

792
00:37:20,240 --> 00:37:24,640
OK, eventually, Arata asks why she was waiting for him for the paper this morning.

793
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:32,720
Chihaya explains that her about her sister's beauty contest and says it's her dream to see her sister becomes Japan's next top model.

794
00:37:32,720 --> 00:37:37,480
Arata comments that it's not really a dream for you if it's something somebody else accomplishes.

795
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:43,800
Chihaya gets a fence defensive and asks Arata what his dream is, and he pulls out the Karuda cards.

796
00:37:44,240 --> 00:37:47,040
She recognizes them and he insists that they play together.

797
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:49,200
We learn the rules of the game.

798
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:50,880
So I look this up.

799
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:58,320
They refer to the game in the show as Karuda, but Wikipedia says that Karuda is the type of cards in the literal game they're playing.

800
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:03,960
It's called Uta Garuta or like a poet like poetry, Karuda.

801
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:07,800
I don't think this distinction does not matter.

802
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:09,920
I just look this up.

803
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:15,880
So the way the games basically played is that there's a hundred cards that have the second half of a poem printed on them.

804
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:21,080
And then one non-player person will read out the full poem.

805
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:24,200
So there's the first half of the poem and the second half, which is printed on the card.

806
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:28,360
They'll start with the first half and then they will read all the way through the whole thing.

807
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:34,920
So the first player, so the two players that are playing will look at all these cards and they will listen to the poem.

808
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:40,080
And the first player to recognize the poem and tap the corresponding card with the rest of the poem on it wins the round.

809
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:43,840
And whoever wins the most rounds wins the game, essentially.

810
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:47,360
So you have to memorize a hundred poems. Yes.

811
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:55,040
Yes. So I think in a typical match, it's like there's 50 out of the hundred cards in play.

812
00:38:55,040 --> 00:39:01,360
So each player has 25 cards on their side, but they have to memorize all 50.

813
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:09,360
And there can even be dead cards, which are like lines from the poems that aren't in this session.

814
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:12,440
Because they like not all hundred poems are in play.

815
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:20,160
And then the point is to get to where you only or you get rid of your cards on your side first.

816
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:28,960
So there's things like if you pick the wrong card, then it's like a fault and they get to send you one of their cards.

817
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:36,240
Or if you take a card from their side, then you get to send them one of your cards.

818
00:39:36,240 --> 00:39:45,840
So the point is to get rid of all the cards on your side, but there are like things that can add cards to your side if you like mess up and stuff like that.

819
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:53,440
So it's very much speed and memorization are the two skills needed here.

820
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:56,640
Yeah. They don't they don't really go through all these rules.

821
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:58,240
Like they didn't really explain that much in this.

822
00:39:58,240 --> 00:40:03,240
I don't know if this is just like a common game that they assume the audience would know or we're just going to talk about those rules later.

823
00:40:03,240 --> 00:40:06,640
Yeah, it'll like those things will come into play more.

824
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:09,240
OK, right now this is pretty much all I got.

825
00:40:09,240 --> 00:40:14,040
Also, in this case, it's a recording like they don't have another person to read the poems out.

826
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:19,240
So it's like a tape recording because this is in the past where tape tape recordings popular.

827
00:40:19,240 --> 00:40:21,360
Arata and Chi Hai I started playing.

828
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:27,960
Arata is super focused and he recognizes the poem at the first word and flings the card so hard it gets stuck in a wall.

829
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:31,040
We like throws it.

830
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:34,840
Arata is crazy good at the game and Chi Hai is overwhelmed.

831
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:36,840
She vows to take at least one card.

832
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:40,840
So she sees a card she recognizes that she knows the full poem for and waits for it.

833
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:44,040
Eventually comes up and she like full body dives for it.

834
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:47,640
She gets the point and Arata is impressed.

835
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:54,840
After the game, he thanks Chi Hai for playing and he tells her that he's that where he's from in Kui.

836
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:57,440
This is a popular game, but nobody in Tokyo really plays it.

837
00:40:57,440 --> 00:40:59,640
So he has to play it by himself most of the time.

838
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:05,240
He also notes that because it's a Japanese specific game and that it's pretty complicated,

839
00:41:05,240 --> 00:41:09,640
if you can become the best in Japan, then you're basically the best player in the world.

840
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:11,240
So that's his goal.

841
00:41:11,240 --> 00:41:14,840
Chi Hai thinks that's pretty impressive.

842
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:21,840
And then Arata comments that Chi Hai's name is phonetically the same as the first half of one of the other poems in the thing.

843
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:24,440
So he's like, you have a good name.

844
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:27,640
And then Arata's mom comes home and they kind of get cut off.

845
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:29,840
Chi Hai goes home, your girlfriend.

846
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:33,040
Yes, she's like, you just randomly brought some girl home.

847
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:38,440
Yes, Chi Hai goes home thinking about Arata's dream with some inspiration as we cut to credits.

848
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:40,840
First episode. What do you think?

849
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:46,640
The first episode we get that we get shown we meet the cast, the main two boys, I am assuming.

850
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:48,640
Uh huh.

851
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:50,640
Taishi who sucks.

852
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:54,440
Yes, he is a little shit.

853
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:56,440
Taishi.

854
00:41:56,440 --> 00:42:00,240
Yes, even like older, even high school, Taishi ain't seen even.

855
00:42:00,240 --> 00:42:01,240
Yeah.

856
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:08,440
I mean, he's well, I feel a little bit like uninvested in his life at scenes.

857
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:10,640
This is a trend.

858
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:24,040
I'm noticing a trend with the main character women in these shows where it's like there are boys that are really into them, but they're kind of oblivious about it.

859
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:24,640
Yeah.

860
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:33,840
Yeah. Very, uh, not intentionally oblivious, but like more than the average person.

861
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:35,240
You know what I mean?

862
00:42:35,240 --> 00:42:36,040
Yeah.

863
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:52,040
I mean, it's mostly like it's better to be oblivious because you just want to be friends than like make it clear that you understand so that they then move forward with like trying to confess or something.

864
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:58,840
So it's better to just kind of not notice and nothing will have or nothing will change and you'll just stay friends.

865
00:42:58,840 --> 00:42:59,840
Kind of.

866
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:05,840
I mean, I get that as a tactic, but they seem like they genuinely don't understand.

867
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:06,640
Yeah.

868
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:08,240
Which is interesting.

869
00:43:08,240 --> 00:43:09,040
Interesting trend.

870
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:11,240
That's how much they are in the friend zone.

871
00:43:11,240 --> 00:43:11,440
Yeah.

872
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:12,440
They can even fathom.

873
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:13,640
Yeah.

874
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:17,040
I'm interested to see how they play it in adult because the next episode is all flashback too.

875
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:20,240
So, yeah, they're like, you know, 12.

876
00:43:20,240 --> 00:43:21,240
So that doesn't really matter.

877
00:43:21,240 --> 00:43:22,240
Yeah.

878
00:43:22,240 --> 00:43:39,440
It's kind of a strange start to a series where like, like what maybe you just start with the kids and then jump in time rather than like, like five minutes, maybe of current day and then like a long ass flashback or like spanning episodes.

879
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:41,840
I mean, there's starting.

880
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:43,040
There's some stuff in here.

881
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:47,840
I mean, I guess like at one point on the train, um, Tai Chi asks.

882
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:51,840
She hire if she has talked to Arata recently and she's like, no.

883
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:54,840
So like there obviously they had some weird falling out.

884
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:58,240
There's going to be some drama in their in their reunion, right?

885
00:43:58,240 --> 00:43:59,440
So like that's going to be a piece of it.

886
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:01,440
I see we're building up to that.

887
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:02,140
This is interesting.

888
00:44:02,140 --> 00:44:05,240
This seems like not the best game of all time.

889
00:44:05,240 --> 00:44:06,540
We played it.

890
00:44:06,540 --> 00:44:08,240
We did play it.

891
00:44:08,240 --> 00:44:08,640
Yeah.

892
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:11,040
I bought so you can buy.

893
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:12,940
There's this company called.

894
00:44:12,940 --> 00:44:21,640
Google, uh, Arata, I think and, um, that you can either, you know, obviously this Japanese game.

895
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:25,640
So it's like not very many options for translated versions of it.

896
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:38,840
But so they have like the option where it can be like like Western poet poems being read or it can be like the English translation of the original poems.

897
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:44,040
Um, that like those are the two different types you can get.

898
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:49,140
So I got like the original one just translated for my deck.

899
00:44:49,140 --> 00:44:52,440
Um, so they're kind of pricey.

900
00:44:52,440 --> 00:45:02,440
Um, and not that many options, but watching this was I was like, damn, we should have Karda and VR.

901
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:08,440
That'd be cool. I'm like, so few people would play it, but I'm like, I want that so badly.

902
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:12,540
The most niche product.

903
00:45:12,540 --> 00:45:13,140
Yeah.

904
00:45:13,140 --> 00:45:14,440
Yeah.

905
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:15,240
Yes.

906
00:45:15,240 --> 00:45:16,040
That's pretty funny.

907
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:17,440
Oh man.

908
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:18,840
I don't like it a lot.

909
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:21,640
I'm not good, but I think it's a lot of fun.

910
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:23,040
Mostly because it's yeah.

911
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:25,140
And I only got into it because of this anime.

912
00:45:25,140 --> 00:45:28,040
So I'm just a huge dork.

913
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:28,240
Yeah.

914
00:45:28,240 --> 00:45:29,940
We'll get more into the mechanics of it.

915
00:45:29,940 --> 00:45:32,040
Maybe this can win me over.

916
00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:32,540
Yeah.

917
00:45:32,540 --> 00:45:35,440
Oh, you're not one over.

918
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:36,340
I mean, it was fun.

919
00:45:36,340 --> 00:45:38,540
I just don't know any of the like the tactics, right?

920
00:45:38,540 --> 00:45:38,840
Yes.

921
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:39,240
Yeah.

922
00:45:39,240 --> 00:45:40,040
Yeah.

923
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:43,240
It just seems like a game where you memorize poems and then point it stuff, right?

924
00:45:43,240 --> 00:45:48,740
Which is fine, I guess, but like I want to learn the like the tricks.

925
00:45:48,740 --> 00:45:50,440
Mm hmm.

926
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:51,240
All right.

927
00:45:51,240 --> 00:45:52,140
Well, we haven't gotten the yet.

928
00:45:52,140 --> 00:45:57,440
So we're still in the flashback episode two is called the red that is we open on Child

929
00:45:57,440 --> 00:46:02,240
Chihaya trying to remember the poems she gets to class and everybody ignores her because

930
00:46:02,240 --> 00:46:08,740
Tai Chi somehow convinced everybody to ignore her as part of his bullying campaign against

931
00:46:08,740 --> 00:46:09,440
Arata.

932
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:13,040
Tai Chi tells her that they'll stop ignoring her if she stops talking to Arata and Chihaya

933
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:17,440
is like, wow, maybe you should just stop ignoring Arata because he's cool.

934
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:20,840
He could beat everybody here at Karuna.

935
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:24,540
Arata says that he'll beat Tai Chi without letting him take a single card because Tai Chi

936
00:46:24,540 --> 00:46:27,840
is also pretty competitive in this game right now.

937
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:31,340
Tai Chi tells him that if he takes at least one card at the upcoming tournament that they're

938
00:46:31,340 --> 00:46:35,740
going to have a school, then he'll just ignore until graduation.

939
00:46:35,740 --> 00:46:40,540
So if I get even one, I get to ignore you as much as I want the OP plays and then we

940
00:46:40,540 --> 00:46:43,540
immediately jump into the school tournament.

941
00:46:43,540 --> 00:46:45,740
Tai Chi's mom is there and is recording the match.

942
00:46:45,740 --> 00:46:49,240
So like the pressure is on for him, I guess.

943
00:46:49,240 --> 00:46:53,440
Every single parent has the camcorder glued to their hand.

944
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:54,240
Oh, yeah.

945
00:46:54,240 --> 00:46:56,340
It used to be how it is, you know.

946
00:46:56,340 --> 00:47:00,840
Yeah, I never had that, really.

947
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:06,640
You don't have a bunch of home movies of you playing a weird card game at school.

948
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:12,340
No, I'm assuming this is kind of like the equivalent of a spelling bee where it's like a thing that they do,

949
00:47:12,340 --> 00:47:14,340
but it's not like in the curriculum.

950
00:47:14,340 --> 00:47:23,640
It's just like a thing to gauge interest for them to then pursue on their own time.

951
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:25,440
Yeah, we had a couple of those in high school.

952
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:29,040
I remember doing or maybe in middle school.

953
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:29,940
I don't quite remember.

954
00:47:29,940 --> 00:47:34,840
Yeah, we would just like randomly do like a chess thing where you can go for one period and play that or something.

955
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:36,240
Yeah, yeah.

956
00:47:36,240 --> 00:47:38,340
No parents showed up though.

957
00:47:38,340 --> 00:47:39,240
No, no.

958
00:47:39,240 --> 00:47:51,040
Well, I have a fucking I did the spelling bee and you did my parents did show up and they were the only parents to show up.

959
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:55,840
And then I got OK, and then like the first word is skunk.

960
00:47:55,840 --> 00:48:03,040
No, first words were easy and then they were getting more difficult even though it was still like people's first word.

961
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:07,640
So like I got like a really hard word even though the first person had an easy word.

962
00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:14,440
Oh, the first word I was embarrassed and then my parents followed me so everyone knew it was my parents who were there.

963
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:16,240
And I was so mortified.

964
00:48:16,240 --> 00:48:17,740
What was the word?

965
00:48:17,740 --> 00:48:18,240
You remember?

966
00:48:18,240 --> 00:48:22,840
I can't I don't I think it was some kind of medical term or something.

967
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:23,640
Oh my God.

968
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:27,440
I was like what this is rigged.

969
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:28,840
This is crazy.

970
00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:32,540
They should they should know that's embarrassing for the people who put it on.

971
00:48:32,540 --> 00:48:35,740
Honestly, I was just I was so embarrassed.

972
00:48:35,740 --> 00:48:40,140
I mean, it's really nice that both my parents separately came to like support me in this thing.

973
00:48:40,140 --> 00:48:43,240
They were the only ones to do it.

974
00:48:43,240 --> 00:48:48,240
My sister sheltered so I think we were just both like, oh, parents. Yeah.

975
00:48:48,240 --> 00:48:55,640
Like she had our stepdad come to lunch in middle school for Thanksgiving or something and he was the only parent and she was too embarrassed.

976
00:48:55,640 --> 00:49:03,040
So she didn't sit with him at the lunch and our childhood friends out with him instead.

977
00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:05,540
Oh my God.

978
00:49:05,540 --> 00:49:06,840
That's pretty good.

979
00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:08,040
Yeah.

980
00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:09,040
I was continuing.

981
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:13,040
Yeah. Anyway, Titus mom showed up in a way that I think is going to be a net negative.

982
00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:17,840
He's doing pretty well though, but he's annoyed that she high isn't paying attention to him.

983
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:21,640
Arata has his match because they're kind of in waves that they do these matches.

984
00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:25,440
And he's incredible and he wins all the points and just owns his opponent.

985
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:28,240
This makes Titus a little nervous about Arata's win.

986
00:49:28,240 --> 00:49:34,040
She has tells Arata that he's got this, but Arata points out that she hired to a card from him.

987
00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:36,440
So it's not like he's, you know, unbeatable.

988
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:40,440
They go out in the hall to talk and Titus catches up with them and throws a soda at Arata for winning.

989
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:44,840
He's like on the house, man, but then Arata opens it and it like sprays soda all over himself

990
00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:47,640
because you just opened a can someone's through at you.

991
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:49,140
Yeah, dumb.

992
00:49:49,140 --> 00:49:53,640
He goes to clean up and Chi Hai tries to help him.

993
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:55,240
Yeah.

994
00:49:55,240 --> 00:49:57,640
T'ai Chi sees this and gets jealous.

995
00:49:57,640 --> 00:50:01,940
So he steals Arata's glasses because he is a boy with glasses.

996
00:50:01,940 --> 00:50:03,540
A little shit.

997
00:50:03,540 --> 00:50:06,040
T'ai Chi sucks.

998
00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:08,040
T'ai Chi sucks.

999
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:11,140
Chi Hai asks T'ai Chi if he's seen Arata's glasses.

1000
00:50:11,140 --> 00:50:15,640
He just lost them suddenly and he's like, no, Arata thinks that T'ai Chi definitely took them,

1001
00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:21,140
but Chi Hai is like, no, he's like, T'ai Chi might be a jerk, but he's not that mean,

1002
00:50:21,140 --> 00:50:25,540
which she is wrong about.

1003
00:50:25,540 --> 00:50:28,540
We also learned that Arata's eyesight is extremely bad.

1004
00:50:28,540 --> 00:50:30,940
Like he has to be inches away from a thing to see it.

1005
00:50:30,940 --> 00:50:33,240
That being said, they just keep going with the tournament.

1006
00:50:33,240 --> 00:50:36,440
It's the match between T'ai Chi and Arata, but he still hasn't found his glasses.

1007
00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:41,240
So he's like squinting real close at the cards so he could try to see him and T'ai Chi taunts him,

1008
00:50:41,240 --> 00:50:45,340
despite the fact that he stole his glasses.

1009
00:50:45,340 --> 00:50:49,240
That being said, even with his poor eyesight, Arata still starts dominating T'ai Chi

1010
00:50:49,240 --> 00:50:55,240
because he memorized all of the card positions because we know he's very good at memorizing things.

1011
00:50:55,240 --> 00:50:58,540
T'ai Chi realizes what's going on and starts to switch the card positions around,

1012
00:50:58,540 --> 00:51:00,240
which I think is probably...

1013
00:51:00,240 --> 00:51:01,640
Wait, is this a race?

1014
00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:03,240
Yes.

1015
00:51:03,240 --> 00:51:07,040
I don't know what the rules for this elementary level, but in actual matches,

1016
00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:11,740
you're supposed to raise your hand so that the speaker doesn't continue

1017
00:51:11,740 --> 00:51:16,540
and now it's that you're moving cards so that the opponent has the chance to re-memorize.

1018
00:51:16,540 --> 00:51:18,340
Dude, not supposed to do that.

1019
00:51:18,340 --> 00:51:20,240
Little freaking cheater.

1020
00:51:20,240 --> 00:51:21,040
We're going to find him.

1021
00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:23,440
This is a very not-regulation game.

1022
00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:24,340
It turns out.

1023
00:51:24,340 --> 00:51:26,640
Yeah, it's just kids at a school.

1024
00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:28,440
Yeah.

1025
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:32,040
So T'ai Chi is moving around cards, which means that Arata can't hit the right cards

1026
00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:33,640
because he doesn't know where they are.

1027
00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:36,340
So T'ai Chi starts scoring some points using this method.

1028
00:51:36,340 --> 00:51:42,240
Arata is frustrated and starts to cry when suddenly T'ai Chi shoves him out of the way from nowhere

1029
00:51:42,240 --> 00:51:44,840
and offers to be his sub.

1030
00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:48,140
The teacher thinks this is weird, but T'ai Chi says that he doesn't have his glasses,

1031
00:51:48,140 --> 00:51:51,740
so he's at a disadvantage and T'ai Chi agrees to the substitution,

1032
00:51:51,740 --> 00:51:55,540
so they just let him do it.

1033
00:51:55,540 --> 00:51:59,840
T'ai Chi starts playing and her basic strategy is to listen to the first syllable

1034
00:51:59,840 --> 00:52:03,540
and the second half of the card so you can actually see which one it matches up with

1035
00:52:03,540 --> 00:52:06,240
after it's read.

1036
00:52:06,240 --> 00:52:09,640
And then swatting a bunch of cards to throw T'ai Chi off.

1037
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:11,640
I don't really understand what's happening here.

1038
00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:20,040
So you, as long as you are getting the right card when you're making that just

1039
00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:26,240
or when you make the move to swipe cards, as long as the right one is in the group of cards you hit,

1040
00:52:26,240 --> 00:52:27,640
you can do that.

1041
00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:36,240
I think it's kind of frowned upon or not very polite way to play, but it's in the rules.

1042
00:52:36,240 --> 00:52:42,840
So as long as she's getting the right card, it doesn't matter how much of a mess she's making of the others.

1043
00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:46,440
Although, if you have to place them back where they were,

1044
00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:52,440
I feel like that's hard to put them all back where they were, except for the card you got right.

1045
00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:55,740
Yeah, this feels like it's technically allowed, but it's kind of bad manners.

1046
00:52:55,740 --> 00:52:58,440
But this game is off the rails.

1047
00:52:58,440 --> 00:53:00,340
Nobody cares.

1048
00:53:00,340 --> 00:53:02,040
Yeah.

1049
00:53:02,040 --> 00:53:08,640
But she does this and it starts looking like, or she also starts looking at T'ai Chi to see if she can like see where he's pointing.

1050
00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:15,240
So she could just like grab a bunch of those cards before he can because she's just trying to be as fast as possible.

1051
00:53:15,240 --> 00:53:16,640
Yeah.

1052
00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:17,840
It's a strategy.

1053
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:18,340
Losing.

1054
00:53:18,340 --> 00:53:20,540
So he starts to like focus and try to get on it.

1055
00:53:20,540 --> 00:53:25,640
And finally, it comes down to the last round, but she hire doesn't recognize any of the remaining cards.

1056
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:31,740
She suddenly remembers that one of them is the second half of the poem that her name phonetically is the first half of.

1057
00:53:31,740 --> 00:53:36,340
She's like, oh, it's that one that Arata pointed out last episode.

1058
00:53:36,340 --> 00:53:43,340
She tries to focus on that one and it turns out that that's the one that gets read aloud and she's able to tap it before the second half of the poem.

1059
00:53:43,340 --> 00:53:45,440
So she gets the point and she wins.

1060
00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:46,840
Yeah.

1061
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:47,440
Yeah.

1062
00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:48,840
Suck it, T'ai Chi.

1063
00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:51,740
Yeah, get wrecked, kid.

1064
00:53:51,740 --> 00:53:55,040
T'ai Chi is disappointed, but Chi Haya says it was a fun game.

1065
00:53:55,040 --> 00:54:03,840
Then she says that Arata will be a master one day and Arata says that she will be a queen, which is the title of the best woman player,

1066
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:07,940
which is a wild exchange to have an episode to.

1067
00:54:07,940 --> 00:54:09,440
She's going to be a queen.

1068
00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:15,440
Well, master is the male top player and queen is the top female player.

1069
00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:20,340
Those are not equal though, because like master isn't even a gendered title.

1070
00:54:20,340 --> 00:54:22,440
I mean, these are translations, but like.

1071
00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:24,240
Yes.

1072
00:54:24,240 --> 00:54:25,440
It's not king.

1073
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:26,940
It's a master and queen.

1074
00:54:26,940 --> 00:54:35,240
I mean, I could imagine it being like, oh, maybe originally only men were competing in this and then they open it up to women.

1075
00:54:35,240 --> 00:54:37,240
So they wanted to be like very clear.

1076
00:54:37,240 --> 00:54:38,340
There's a difference.

1077
00:54:38,340 --> 00:54:39,440
That's right.

1078
00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:40,140
Is this going to be it?

1079
00:54:40,140 --> 00:54:42,340
Wait, is this a gendered sport?

1080
00:54:42,340 --> 00:54:43,340
You can.

1081
00:54:43,340 --> 00:54:45,140
I think it just depends on the tournament.

1082
00:54:45,140 --> 00:54:54,340
Like for the official, like if you want to go against the reigning like queen or master, you would only be facing against that gender.

1083
00:54:54,340 --> 00:55:11,940
But there's like team matches where you can play like where it's like, okay, you have a team of five and like three of your your teammates need to win their matches to win the collective team round.

1084
00:55:11,940 --> 00:55:17,740
So that can be kind of of assortment of like different genders playing against each other.

1085
00:55:17,740 --> 00:55:19,740
And so, yeah.

1086
00:55:19,740 --> 00:55:21,640
And then there's like skill levels.

1087
00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:23,540
This will be addressed later in the show.

1088
00:55:23,540 --> 00:55:37,840
But like, because you this is kind of like how paintball works, like how much you play and how well you do like will propel you or like give you the points to be ranking up to a different level.

1089
00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:43,640
And then you can pee against people with the same rank as you.

1090
00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:47,140
So it's not like everyone's playing against everyone.

1091
00:55:47,140 --> 00:55:48,840
Yeah.

1092
00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:49,540
Okay.

1093
00:55:49,540 --> 00:55:53,940
So that's kind of but but this is all so unofficial at this point.

1094
00:55:53,940 --> 00:55:56,040
We'll get into that stuff later.

1095
00:55:56,040 --> 00:55:56,540
Cool.

1096
00:55:56,540 --> 00:55:56,940
Yeah.

1097
00:55:56,940 --> 00:55:58,940
So that game ends.

1098
00:55:58,940 --> 00:56:01,040
She'll be the queen one day.

1099
00:56:01,040 --> 00:56:04,140
She calls her calls home to tell her mom that she won the tournament.

1100
00:56:04,140 --> 00:56:09,840
But her mom tells her that a talent scout has come for her sister and she kind of just blows her off.

1101
00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:11,840
Her sister.

1102
00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:15,040
I know her like her mom is like, oh, there's a talent scout here.

1103
00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:17,340
Which she is also like, oh, that's awesome.

1104
00:56:17,340 --> 00:56:21,640
So yeah, but this is like the first time she's excited about something for herself and her family.

1105
00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:22,040
I know.

1106
00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:23,840
Totally disregards.

1107
00:56:23,840 --> 00:56:26,040
She's like totally going to be a neglected kid.

1108
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:33,840
Her sister gets on the phone and she hire starts to tell her that she won like a tournament, but her sister thinks that's lame and then like hangs up.

1109
00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:34,840
Yeah.

1110
00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:35,640
So mean to her.

1111
00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:41,040
Like our sister just wants her little sister worshiping her and doesn't want.

1112
00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:42,240
Yeah.

1113
00:56:42,240 --> 00:56:53,040
Like she was so proud of herself and excited to share with them and they just totally dismissed or didn't even want to hear about her accomplishment or anything to do with her.

1114
00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:58,040
It's like the household revolves around her sister's success as a model.

1115
00:56:58,040 --> 00:56:59,140
Yeah.

1116
00:56:59,140 --> 00:57:00,440
That sucks.

1117
00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:02,340
Yeah, that sucks.

1118
00:57:02,340 --> 00:57:09,240
Elsewhere in the bad family department, Tyche's mom tells him that he shouldn't spend his time on things he can't win and should focus on stuff he can win.

1119
00:57:09,240 --> 00:57:11,040
So I guess stop playing this card game.

1120
00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:12,440
Oh, mom sucks.

1121
00:57:12,440 --> 00:57:13,040
Yeah.

1122
00:57:13,040 --> 00:57:15,640
Another another shitty parent.

1123
00:57:15,640 --> 00:57:19,640
And she's like, oh, and you lost to a girl too.

1124
00:57:19,640 --> 00:57:20,640
I was like, it's fine.

1125
00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:24,140
It's fine for him to lose to a girl.

1126
00:57:24,140 --> 00:57:30,040
No, he can't lose to a girl in the poetry memorizing card game.

1127
00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:35,640
Yeah, she was like, I came and show this video I took to your father because he didn't win.

1128
00:57:35,640 --> 00:57:37,840
And a lot of pressure.

1129
00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:39,340
Just ending post.

1130
00:57:39,340 --> 00:57:40,840
Okay, it's fine.

1131
00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:43,440
You can you can give your dad misinformation.

1132
00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:44,940
He doesn't care.

1133
00:57:44,940 --> 00:57:45,740
Oh, man.

1134
00:57:45,740 --> 00:57:47,040
It was not fair.

1135
00:57:47,040 --> 00:57:48,540
Yeah, just lie to him.

1136
00:57:48,540 --> 00:57:53,440
She hired Tyche run into each other in the hallway and they hear some like thumping somewhere.

1137
00:57:53,440 --> 00:57:54,740
So they go and investigate.

1138
00:57:54,740 --> 00:58:01,340
They talk about a caruda on the way and she high tells Tyche that he shouldn't feel bad to losing in a fair game.

1139
00:58:01,340 --> 00:58:06,740
They find out that the thumping is a rata practicing slapping cards, but he's not he's not doing it with cards.

1140
00:58:06,740 --> 00:58:09,240
He's just slapping the ground.

1141
00:58:09,240 --> 00:58:11,240
That's kind of lame.

1142
00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:17,540
He's like he's doing what's the thing you do in sports visualization or whatever.

1143
00:58:17,540 --> 00:58:20,740
Yeah, shadow boxing, but with card slapping.

1144
00:58:20,740 --> 00:58:22,440
Yeah.

1145
00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:23,540
Yeah.

1146
00:58:23,540 --> 00:58:25,940
But he's doing this after the games already over.

1147
00:58:25,940 --> 00:58:26,640
He didn't do that.

1148
00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:28,340
Well, he's probably frustrated.

1149
00:58:28,340 --> 00:58:38,240
Yeah, that he didn't get to finish it and when she high remembers that they never found his glasses and she goes to look for them because then he can play caruda.

1150
00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:41,340
She runs off and Tyche hands the glasses to a rata.

1151
00:58:41,340 --> 00:58:44,640
He first lies and says that he found them, but then he admits to stealing them.

1152
00:58:44,640 --> 00:58:49,940
He asks him not to tell Chi Haya and a rata calls him a coward, but also agrees not to tell her outside.

1153
00:58:49,940 --> 00:58:51,740
She had climbed a tree.

1154
00:58:51,740 --> 00:58:53,240
Oh, sorry.

1155
00:58:53,240 --> 00:59:07,440
I was going to say, I thought you would like the I don't know what you call these like the little thing where the fun animation where he calls him a coward and then like a card like flies in with the word coward on it.

1156
00:59:07,440 --> 00:59:08,540
Oh, yeah.

1157
00:59:08,540 --> 00:59:10,340
Tyche and he's like looking at it.

1158
00:59:10,340 --> 00:59:11,740
He's like, what?

1159
00:59:11,740 --> 00:59:13,740
Yeah, there's a good visual gag there because the ride.

1160
00:59:13,740 --> 00:59:18,240
His whole thing is that he flings cards too hard and they like, you know, you're basically throwing a playing card.

1161
00:59:18,240 --> 00:59:20,940
So it gets stuck in the walls and stuff.

1162
00:59:20,940 --> 00:59:24,840
So the walls are like, yeah, the paper walls.

1163
00:59:24,840 --> 00:59:25,640
Yeah.

1164
00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:26,240
Yeah.

1165
00:59:26,240 --> 00:59:26,640
Yeah.

1166
00:59:26,640 --> 00:59:27,740
It's not like plaster.

1167
00:59:27,740 --> 00:59:29,540
I don't think you know, you could do it with plaster still.

1168
00:59:29,540 --> 00:59:32,040
You can mess things up with playing cards.

1169
00:59:32,040 --> 00:59:36,940
But yeah, the visual gag is that he says that it's like he does that flick into Tyche.

1170
00:59:36,940 --> 00:59:37,640
It's pretty good.

1171
00:59:37,640 --> 00:59:40,940
It's the most it's probably the most cartoony thing that happens this episode.

1172
00:59:40,940 --> 00:59:43,040
This is not like a particularly show.

1173
00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:50,140
No, but I like that even sometimes it like, I feel like the quality will drop for those little gags.

1174
00:59:50,140 --> 00:59:55,040
But I feel like at least the quality stayed the same for that.

1175
00:59:55,040 --> 00:59:59,240
I mean, this is mostly like a fond memories flashback.

1176
00:59:59,240 --> 00:59:59,840
Yeah.

1177
00:59:59,840 --> 01:00:00,140
Yeah.

1178
01:00:00,140 --> 01:00:02,940
It's like a little once we get into it, there'll be more.

1179
01:00:02,940 --> 01:00:04,340
Yeah.

1180
01:00:04,340 --> 01:00:11,940
Outside, she has climbed a tree looking for the glasses because I guess she thinks that like a bird picked it up or something.

1181
01:00:11,940 --> 01:00:14,140
Yeah, because they're shiny.

1182
01:00:14,140 --> 01:00:15,940
The boys come out to look for her.

1183
01:00:15,940 --> 01:00:20,740
She hears them and she jumps out of the tree and lands on them as we cut to credits.

1184
01:00:20,740 --> 01:00:22,040
Yeah.

1185
01:00:22,040 --> 01:00:23,240
Friendship.

1186
01:00:23,240 --> 01:00:23,740
Friendship.

1187
01:00:23,740 --> 01:00:39,040
I mean, I guess it's basically like establishing the stakes or emotional stakes of like this friendship they had as kids and like why it's still so important.

1188
01:00:39,040 --> 01:00:55,040
She hired especially, right? Because clearly she's to this day super into card is grateful for being introduced to it and has a lot of friendship memories tied into it.

1189
01:00:55,040 --> 01:00:55,340
Yeah.

1190
01:00:55,340 --> 01:00:57,240
I mean, we do have a good amount of work here, right?

1191
01:00:57,240 --> 01:01:05,040
Because like we understand like Tai Chi is a guy who's being very heavily pressured by his parents, both.

1192
01:01:05,040 --> 01:01:11,140
Well, it sounds like his mom on behalf of his dad in order to succeed at everything.

1193
01:01:11,140 --> 01:01:16,940
And despite being pretty good at everything, he can't get the girl he likes to pay attention to him.

1194
01:01:16,940 --> 01:01:18,940
So that bums him out.

1195
01:01:18,940 --> 01:01:27,840
Arata is a bullied nerd who's good at memorizing stuff and probably doesn't have a lot of good social skills, but he's super into this card game.

1196
01:01:27,840 --> 01:01:31,240
And likes hanging out with Chi Haya because she also likes this card game.

1197
01:01:31,240 --> 01:01:37,240
Apparently they have some falling out coming in the future. Not sure what's up with that. I guess we'll get more of that next episode, maybe.

1198
01:01:37,240 --> 01:01:48,040
And then Chi Haya who has very little going on in her life until this card game, which she's going to be obsessed with as her family basically ignores her.

1199
01:01:48,040 --> 01:01:50,440
And her sister outshines her at everything.

1200
01:01:50,440 --> 01:02:03,840
Yeah, I mean, like we've seen where like she sees things, she says them like she just seems to like fixates on a singular thing, like how she was with her sister.

1201
01:02:03,840 --> 01:02:04,940
Now it's Karada.

1202
01:02:04,940 --> 01:02:12,740
But I guess I mean, for what it sounds like in middle school, at least she was like branching out a little bit and doing like track and field to people.

1203
01:02:12,740 --> 01:02:22,540
I can't tell if this is going to be a regression because she seems way more closed off in high school and the, you know, five minutes we get of her in high school.

1204
01:02:22,540 --> 01:02:31,840
Uh-huh. It'll be just like a talker where it's like, girl, there is more to life than angelic layer.

1205
01:02:31,840 --> 01:02:35,240
There is more to life than Karada.

1206
01:02:35,240 --> 01:02:38,740
You can take it seriously, but also don't forget.

1207
01:02:38,740 --> 01:02:40,140
Yeah, we'll see. We'll see where that goes.

1208
01:02:40,140 --> 01:02:47,940
But yeah, so far compared to the other shows, this is does not seem like it's going to be super romance based.

1209
01:02:47,940 --> 01:02:55,740
The romance also seems like it's going to be Tai Chi's very into her and she is very not interested in engaging in romance in any way.

1210
01:02:55,740 --> 01:03:04,140
I'm assuming Arana will probably also be interested in her and she will similarly not be so very interested.

1211
01:03:04,140 --> 01:03:04,940
We'll see.

1212
01:03:04,940 --> 01:03:06,740
I mean, there's.

1213
01:03:06,740 --> 01:03:15,140
Yeah, it's well, it's like hard games and like the bonds and friendship and teamwork.

1214
01:03:15,140 --> 01:03:22,040
And then the romance is very lightly covered in at least from what is covered in the shows.

1215
01:03:22,040 --> 01:03:28,440
I'm assuming you're the conclusion of the series, but it becomes more like a that comes to a head.

1216
01:03:28,440 --> 01:03:34,040
But yeah, it's very much I don't know this game bringing people together kind of.

1217
01:03:34,040 --> 01:03:38,540
Is right, like it's going to be a place. Maybe I mean.

1218
01:03:38,540 --> 01:03:41,240
That's what's anime we got.

1219
01:03:41,240 --> 01:03:42,940
Yeah, that's true.

1220
01:03:42,940 --> 01:03:49,940
But that's like popular and this is like a thing that maybe is more popular like back in the day.

1221
01:03:49,940 --> 01:03:53,440
But now in this new age of technology and stuff, people aren't as interested.

1222
01:03:53,440 --> 01:03:57,740
So it's like a much smaller tight knit community.

1223
01:03:57,740 --> 01:04:01,240
So like Arana coming from a more rural area.

1224
01:04:01,240 --> 01:04:08,940
That's a thing they do a lot there, but here in the big city of Tokyo, like it's not that common of a thing.

1225
01:04:08,940 --> 01:04:18,240
So the people who are into it, it's like exciting to meet them because it's not as often that you find them or something along those lines.

1226
01:04:18,240 --> 01:04:27,340
So yeah, it's like it can be intended for women and not be super fixated on the romance elements and still be interesting.

1227
01:04:27,340 --> 01:04:29,440
Oh, no, I wasn't I wasn't saying that I'm just saying.

1228
01:04:29,440 --> 01:04:33,140
No, no, yeah, yeah, where that's the card game is going to be the focus.

1229
01:04:33,140 --> 01:04:40,740
I mean, you already said this sports anime more kind of thing, which will be interesting, I suppose.

1230
01:04:40,740 --> 01:04:43,040
Yeah, I'm excited.

1231
01:04:43,040 --> 01:04:44,640
Not not a skit.

1232
01:04:44,640 --> 01:04:47,040
No, I think we're going to get a lot of visual gags.

1233
01:04:47,040 --> 01:05:08,440
Skit is very like like humor is so enthused with skit be in Kyoko and and Chi Furu is just a lot more like competitive, like getting better training kind of things like that rather than humor.

1234
01:05:08,440 --> 01:05:11,040
Yeah, I don't quite have the tone yet of this show.

1235
01:05:11,040 --> 01:05:13,840
No, no, I mean, they're kind of strange.

1236
01:05:13,840 --> 01:05:18,840
Yeah, yeah, so we'll see.

1237
01:05:18,840 --> 01:05:22,640
Well, I know you'll see.

1238
01:05:22,640 --> 01:05:31,040
But yeah, so those are our first two episodes of Chi Furu and yay new series.

1239
01:05:31,040 --> 01:05:40,240
I guess I'm trying to think because this is not as like the game is happening.

1240
01:05:40,240 --> 01:05:45,440
It's like every step of like, oh, they made this new thing that move like we haven't gone to that point.

1241
01:05:45,440 --> 01:05:49,840
So I don't know what the coverage is going to look like as far as like recapping it.

1242
01:05:49,840 --> 01:05:53,840
Yeah, I'm going to be fascinated to see how they present this game.

1243
01:05:53,840 --> 01:06:00,840
Like because I don't even have an analog of like what other games would be similar to because I'm usually, you know, most sports anime I've heard of the sport before.

1244
01:06:00,840 --> 01:06:05,840
So I like, you know, even if it's something like water polo or whatever, right?

1245
01:06:05,840 --> 01:06:08,240
Like, I know I understand the basic rules of it.

1246
01:06:08,240 --> 01:06:10,840
This is like totally a different thing.

1247
01:06:10,840 --> 01:06:12,240
I don't even know how you would cover this.

1248
01:06:12,240 --> 01:06:15,040
Like, is it really going to be like move per move?

1249
01:06:15,040 --> 01:06:18,840
Like, are you going to have episodes where one game takes place?

1250
01:06:18,840 --> 01:06:24,440
Yeah, it's not like they have a commentator for official matches being like, yeah, it just seems like it's going to be kind of tough.

1251
01:06:24,440 --> 01:06:27,040
But so I'm interested to see what they do for that, especially for this.

1252
01:06:27,040 --> 01:06:30,440
Yeah, you'll in turn.

1253
01:06:30,440 --> 01:06:34,040
Yeah, like how that will, what the experience will be of watching this.

1254
01:06:34,040 --> 01:06:35,240
Yeah, we'll find out.

1255
01:06:35,240 --> 01:06:36,240
Yeah.

1256
01:06:36,240 --> 01:06:39,040
So I'm interested in this bizarre card game.

1257
01:06:39,040 --> 01:06:41,040
I love it.

1258
01:06:41,040 --> 01:06:43,640
I'm not very good at it, but I really like it.

1259
01:06:43,640 --> 01:06:46,440
But you think it's hard to get people to play with you there.

1260
01:06:46,440 --> 01:06:49,240
Just imagine you're here and your whole family is lazy.

1261
01:06:49,240 --> 01:06:51,240
They don't want to memorize anything.

1262
01:06:51,240 --> 01:06:52,640
Please, please, please, please, please.

1263
01:06:52,640 --> 01:06:53,240
Yeah.

1264
01:06:53,240 --> 01:06:56,240
I mean, the problem with this card game is that like in order to be good at it,

1265
01:06:56,240 --> 01:06:59,840
you would have to memorize the first and second half of all of these poems.

1266
01:06:59,840 --> 01:07:03,240
But like that's a hundred poems for a card game.

1267
01:07:03,240 --> 01:07:03,440
Yeah.

1268
01:07:03,440 --> 01:07:04,440
It's like, yeah.

1269
01:07:04,440 --> 01:07:05,240
Not a casual.

1270
01:07:05,240 --> 01:07:12,040
Well, I mean, the only way I've done is that it's more like, OK, I just as soon as

1271
01:07:12,040 --> 01:07:17,240
I hear the actual card being read, look for it or have it memorized versus like.

1272
01:07:17,240 --> 01:07:21,040
Yeah, I mean, when we played, I was just waiting for the read what's on the card

1273
01:07:21,040 --> 01:07:24,040
and then just trying to pick it out there.

1274
01:07:24,040 --> 01:07:28,040
That wouldn't fly in competitive game plays, what I'm saying.

1275
01:07:28,040 --> 01:07:31,240
Yes, you could never be competitive.

1276
01:07:31,240 --> 01:07:32,040
I know.

1277
01:07:32,040 --> 01:07:34,040
Oh, man.

1278
01:07:34,040 --> 01:07:36,440
Well, yeah, now I just want to play this.

1279
01:07:36,440 --> 01:07:39,440
I'm now in the play of it.

1280
01:07:39,440 --> 01:07:43,840
I'll just be like, aren't I play by myself because on Spotify,

1281
01:07:43,840 --> 01:07:47,240
I have it where I can shuffle the poems being read.

1282
01:07:49,240 --> 01:07:51,560
You can just you can slap the ground.

1283
01:07:51,560 --> 01:07:54,160
You can shadow box like Arata is doing at the end.

1284
01:07:54,160 --> 01:07:56,600
You don't even need the cards to start slapping the desk.

1285
01:07:56,600 --> 01:07:58,200
Oh, man.

1286
01:07:58,200 --> 01:07:59,440
No, no, no, no.

1287
01:07:59,440 --> 01:08:04,840
Also, they play on Tatami maps and the cards are like like thick.

1288
01:08:05,320 --> 01:08:10,880
They're like not playing card material.

1289
01:08:10,880 --> 01:08:13,480
They're thicker.

1290
01:08:13,480 --> 01:08:18,320
So like, I don't really have optimal playing conditions for how it would

1291
01:08:18,320 --> 01:08:24,200
or where it's like this flighty is more like this slap on it rather than like.

1292
01:08:24,200 --> 01:08:29,400
Which oh, yeah, movement. Yeah. No. Yeah.

1293
01:08:30,200 --> 01:08:31,800
And let's see.

1294
01:08:31,800 --> 01:08:33,800
But yeah, so that's that's yep.

1295
01:08:33,800 --> 01:08:36,760
Bad adults again. Another show with with shitty parents.

1296
01:08:37,400 --> 01:08:39,840
Yeah. Yeah.

1297
01:08:39,840 --> 01:08:41,720
We got a fine one where like the parents.

1298
01:08:41,720 --> 01:08:43,800
Well, I guess teaming needs to doke ahead.

1299
01:08:43,800 --> 01:08:45,520
Her parents are cool.

1300
01:08:45,520 --> 01:08:47,200
Yeah.

1301
01:08:47,200 --> 01:08:49,600
Just not very many.

1302
01:08:49,600 --> 01:08:54,200
Um, I think that covers the first two episodes.

1303
01:08:54,200 --> 01:09:00,880
So now we'll switch to gears and go into our recommendations where we just,

1304
01:09:00,880 --> 01:09:05,280
you know, obviously, if you're listening to this, you have a very specific

1305
01:09:05,280 --> 01:09:09,840
interest in anime and, you know, there's a lot of like overlapping.

1306
01:09:09,840 --> 01:09:15,520
Like, oh, I feel like anime a lot of times you like games or this or that.

1307
01:09:15,520 --> 01:09:20,040
And so I think it's fun to just share like things that we like.

1308
01:09:20,040 --> 01:09:24,800
And I know at least one person is rolling with these recommendations

1309
01:09:24,800 --> 01:09:26,760
and checking them out.

1310
01:09:26,760 --> 01:09:28,760
So that's cool.

1311
01:09:28,760 --> 01:09:31,120
That person being Joe's mom, but still.

1312
01:09:31,120 --> 01:09:33,280
Oh, is she doing the recommendations?

1313
01:09:33,880 --> 01:09:37,480
You said she started watching something I had recommended.

1314
01:09:37,480 --> 01:09:38,280
Oh, yeah. Yeah.

1315
01:09:38,280 --> 01:09:39,760
OK, I should do that.

1316
01:09:39,760 --> 01:09:41,720
She's not taking my recommendations.

1317
01:09:41,720 --> 01:09:43,960
No, that's because clearly.

1318
01:09:43,960 --> 01:09:46,040
She's not doing my I have the better taste.

1319
01:09:46,040 --> 01:09:49,440
Yeah. Oh, you read your book about gambling.

1320
01:09:49,560 --> 01:09:50,960
I try to give it to her.

1321
01:09:50,960 --> 01:09:53,680
I got close to being able to give her the gambling.

1322
01:09:54,200 --> 01:09:58,720
I recommended a book about gambling machines called Addiction by Design.

1323
01:09:58,720 --> 01:10:00,360
Incredible book. You should read that book.

1324
01:10:00,360 --> 01:10:02,320
It's not my recommendation because I recommended it earlier.

1325
01:10:02,320 --> 01:10:04,160
Go back to a thousand.

1326
01:10:04,160 --> 01:10:07,680
Go back to Angelic Layer and skip to the recommendation sections

1327
01:10:07,680 --> 01:10:08,480
of all those episodes.

1328
01:10:08,480 --> 01:10:11,480
If you want to hear all of our recommendations, we should put them

1329
01:10:11,480 --> 01:10:12,880
somewhere. I don't know if we've done that yet.

1330
01:10:12,880 --> 01:10:14,280
Probably not. No.

1331
01:10:14,280 --> 01:10:18,160
Well, I had been, but I've gotten lazy.

1332
01:10:18,160 --> 01:10:20,480
But yeah, I should update.

1333
01:10:20,480 --> 01:10:24,480
Well, once more people freaking listen to us, then they'll like

1334
01:10:24,480 --> 01:10:28,000
justify the effort of me going through and let's do this somewhere

1335
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:29,640
other than in the show notes.

1336
01:10:29,640 --> 01:10:32,760
I see because we have them linked in the episode description.

1337
01:10:33,120 --> 01:10:34,360
Yes. At the very least.

1338
01:10:34,360 --> 01:10:36,800
So what are you recommending to us, Sarah?

1339
01:10:36,800 --> 01:10:39,400
I can't mix it up.

1340
01:10:39,400 --> 01:10:44,000
I'm going to be recommending a app or store.

1341
01:10:44,880 --> 01:10:49,000
I'm not sure how to best describe what it is exactly, but

1342
01:10:49,960 --> 01:10:57,160
I'm going to recommend Thread Up, which is a site where people will send them

1343
01:10:57,880 --> 01:10:59,080
their old clothes.

1344
01:10:59,080 --> 01:11:02,600
You know, obviously they have to be in like good condition and still have tags

1345
01:11:02,600 --> 01:11:08,080
and stuff, but they send them and then they will, you know, like take photos

1346
01:11:08,080 --> 01:11:12,560
and present them for repurchase by people using the app.

1347
01:11:12,760 --> 01:11:17,240
And then you'll get like a cut of it from your stuffing sold.

1348
01:11:17,240 --> 01:11:23,080
But it's really good because I don't know, fast fashion is like a big thing.

1349
01:11:23,080 --> 01:11:27,280
It's terrible for the planet and stuff.

1350
01:11:27,760 --> 01:11:34,040
Like the amount of water that goes into making a pair of jeans is wild.

1351
01:11:34,040 --> 01:11:40,400
And but so this is like a good way to like reuse clothing like me, you know,

1352
01:11:41,440 --> 01:11:45,280
the one man's trash is another man's treasure kind of thing.

1353
01:11:45,600 --> 01:11:49,160
So a lot of my clothes I've gotten from there and they recently improved

1354
01:11:49,160 --> 01:11:54,440
like the because you can like upload a photo and it'll like find similar

1355
01:11:54,440 --> 01:11:56,600
looking items to suggest for you.

1356
01:11:57,480 --> 01:11:59,360
It's constantly getting new things.

1357
01:11:59,360 --> 01:12:02,400
And so like or it could be something really old that you can never purchase

1358
01:12:02,400 --> 01:12:06,120
from a store and it's all like very well priced.

1359
01:12:06,120 --> 01:12:08,200
Like and they have a ton of sales.

1360
01:12:08,920 --> 01:12:13,000
And if you buy from them, then like it points that can then be like

1361
01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:17,320
redeemed for five dollar, ten dollar coupons or freak shipping and stuff like that.

1362
01:12:18,240 --> 01:12:22,720
And so they sad thing is they don't have a men's section.

1363
01:12:22,720 --> 01:12:26,040
They have women's and then they have boys and girls like children.

1364
01:12:26,040 --> 01:12:32,800
And but they have like dresses, pants, tops, accessories.

1365
01:12:34,400 --> 01:12:37,080
And then they you can search by like brand.

1366
01:12:37,080 --> 01:12:39,760
So like, oh, anthropology, I love their stuff.

1367
01:12:39,760 --> 01:12:42,760
And look through everything from that brand that they have on there

1368
01:12:43,600 --> 01:12:45,480
and buy your size and stuff.

1369
01:12:46,800 --> 01:12:49,800
So yeah, if you're looking to like get new clothes,

1370
01:12:50,200 --> 01:12:54,640
but want to get something at a good price and, you know,

1371
01:12:54,640 --> 01:13:00,640
like not impacting the planet, then I recommend using thread up.

1372
01:13:01,840 --> 01:13:08,200
It's the app that you can find on both Google Play and Apple's.

1373
01:13:08,200 --> 01:13:09,200
That's like.

1374
01:13:09,440 --> 01:13:11,040
Read.

1375
01:13:13,040 --> 01:13:14,040
Oh, yeah, I got.

1376
01:13:14,040 --> 01:13:15,040
I just.

1377
01:13:15,040 --> 01:13:16,800
It's like the specific product.

1378
01:13:16,800 --> 01:13:18,600
I mean, I guess I recommend that.

1379
01:13:18,600 --> 01:13:19,400
You can just like that.

1380
01:13:19,400 --> 01:13:21,040
No, it's good. No, it's just good.

1381
01:13:21,040 --> 01:13:22,040
Yeah.

1382
01:13:22,040 --> 01:13:25,680
Yeah. Find it in stores today.

1383
01:13:26,280 --> 01:13:27,280
They should.

1384
01:13:27,280 --> 01:13:30,800
I mean, maybe I just I really like it.

1385
01:13:30,800 --> 01:13:32,440
I just got a new package from them.

1386
01:13:34,800 --> 01:13:38,800
I have been needing like little little camis to wear

1387
01:13:39,560 --> 01:13:43,000
that I can wear like a long sleeve, but not have to like button up all the way.

1388
01:13:44,240 --> 01:13:48,000
And it's just like easy to find like it delivers pretty quickly.

1389
01:13:49,880 --> 01:13:52,000
I really, really like it.

1390
01:13:52,000 --> 01:13:54,800
Is anything like fine, really?

1391
01:13:54,800 --> 01:13:57,280
You know, it's like the ref shopping, but online.

1392
01:13:57,280 --> 01:14:00,680
So it's, you know, more and that maybe higher standards

1393
01:14:00,680 --> 01:14:02,280
than maybe your local thrift shop.

1394
01:14:02,280 --> 01:14:05,920
But yeah, I really like it.

1395
01:14:06,920 --> 01:14:09,600
Oh, yeah, that's that.

1396
01:14:10,600 --> 01:14:12,320
And how about you, Joe?

1397
01:14:12,320 --> 01:14:14,280
What are you going to recommend today?

1398
01:14:14,280 --> 01:14:15,760
I'm going to recommend a movie.

1399
01:14:15,760 --> 01:14:20,880
I'm going to recommend the 1981 Hungarian animated fantasy adventure film,

1400
01:14:20,880 --> 01:14:23,080
Son of the White Mare. Did I recommend this last time?

1401
01:14:23,680 --> 01:14:25,360
I have never heard of this.

1402
01:14:25,360 --> 01:14:27,160
No, you did not recommend this last time.

1403
01:14:27,160 --> 01:14:31,120
Good, because this movie is very weird.

1404
01:14:32,000 --> 01:14:35,120
So this is a animated movie.

1405
01:14:35,120 --> 01:14:41,440
It's it's fairly famous amongst like animation circles is what I made

1406
01:14:41,440 --> 01:14:43,200
because I like won some awards and things like that.

1407
01:14:43,200 --> 01:14:45,200
Yes, sir. Yeah.

1408
01:14:45,200 --> 01:14:49,720
Yes. And I also had a 4K restoration in 2019, which is cool,

1409
01:14:49,720 --> 01:14:53,400
because this is a movie that is

1410
01:14:54,960 --> 01:14:57,200
for me really about like spectacle.

1411
01:14:57,200 --> 01:15:02,480
So it is about this is some like Hungarian legend

1412
01:15:02,480 --> 01:15:07,280
or like a combination of several like mythological legendary

1413
01:15:07,600 --> 01:15:12,920
kind of stories about some gods that have these sons.

1414
01:15:12,920 --> 01:15:16,480
Then there are wives for the sons and then they unleash a bunch of demons

1415
01:15:16,480 --> 01:15:18,440
or dragons and things kind of go bad.

1416
01:15:18,440 --> 01:15:23,200
It's the plot of the movie really isn't that important.

1417
01:15:23,200 --> 01:15:24,840
I mean, one hand is fairly straightforward.

1418
01:15:24,840 --> 01:15:27,400
It's like, oh, we got everything gone bad in the kingdom.

1419
01:15:27,400 --> 01:15:30,680
We have to restore balance by defeating these evil things

1420
01:15:30,680 --> 01:15:32,840
and freeing these women, etc. etc.

1421
01:15:33,360 --> 01:15:36,080
The thing that's interesting about this movie is that the visuals are striking.

1422
01:15:36,080 --> 01:15:38,120
You could basically take any shot of this

1423
01:15:38,120 --> 01:15:41,520
and it would be like a pretty good screensaver or background

1424
01:15:41,520 --> 01:15:43,480
because it just like looks really great.

1425
01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:47,560
A lot of interesting visual stuff going on

1426
01:15:47,560 --> 01:15:50,120
because they will call the bad guys dragons.

1427
01:15:50,120 --> 01:15:52,520
But then it turns out they are these weird things,

1428
01:15:52,520 --> 01:15:54,160
like sometimes these big golems.

1429
01:15:54,160 --> 01:15:58,080
Sometimes they are one of them is just like a literal tank with a bunch of guns.

1430
01:15:58,840 --> 01:16:01,960
One of them is like a weird multiheaded creature

1431
01:16:01,960 --> 01:16:04,600
that is difficult to even tell what it is.

1432
01:16:04,880 --> 01:16:08,160
So it's very fascinating in terms of the like visual imagery,

1433
01:16:08,400 --> 01:16:10,800
how stuff is drawn, how stuff moves around.

1434
01:16:11,280 --> 01:16:15,720
It's like her son of bosses or something.

1435
01:16:15,720 --> 01:16:17,640
Yeah, they're a little weird.

1436
01:16:17,640 --> 01:16:20,440
They're a little weird stuff going on in it.

1437
01:16:21,120 --> 01:16:24,800
You know, it's like that kind of fantasy feel

1438
01:16:24,800 --> 01:16:26,560
or like an old time myth feel.

1439
01:16:26,560 --> 01:16:29,040
So some of it's a little weird.

1440
01:16:29,040 --> 01:16:32,600
But I think that can kind of contribute to the overall feeling of this movie,

1441
01:16:32,600 --> 01:16:34,920
which is very interesting.

1442
01:16:34,920 --> 01:16:37,800
So I would check it out.

1443
01:16:37,800 --> 01:16:40,720
Distribution wise, I don't.

1444
01:16:41,680 --> 01:16:44,400
You can find this in places.

1445
01:16:44,400 --> 01:16:48,320
Well, if they just had the redo, it's got to be somewhere.

1446
01:16:48,600 --> 01:16:51,360
Or the. Yeah, I think you could rent it.

1447
01:16:53,160 --> 01:16:55,520
They posted it. They posted it on Vimeo.

1448
01:16:55,920 --> 01:16:58,200
I don't think it's translated, though.

1449
01:16:58,200 --> 01:17:00,480
But like, I think they have an official post of it there.

1450
01:17:01,760 --> 01:17:04,480
So you can go and look at some of the visuals like for free on Vimeo.

1451
01:17:05,800 --> 01:17:07,720
If you are interested. Yeah, it's cool.

1452
01:17:08,240 --> 01:17:09,240
Yeah, there.

1453
01:17:09,240 --> 01:17:14,600
That's a taste of what our recommendations can and.

1454
01:17:16,280 --> 01:17:18,240
I don't know. I feel like at some point I've been like,

1455
01:17:18,240 --> 01:17:20,360
I'm just going to recommend pets.

1456
01:17:20,360 --> 01:17:24,040
It's like a thing to recommend my dog to you.

1457
01:17:24,960 --> 01:17:27,200
Now, just pets in general.

1458
01:17:27,520 --> 01:17:28,320
Yeah, I don't know.

1459
01:17:28,320 --> 01:17:30,960
I've done like a band before.

1460
01:17:30,960 --> 01:17:34,560
It can just be anything that others can enjoy as well.

1461
01:17:34,640 --> 01:17:37,080
Yeah, sure. It's our podcast. We can do whatever we want.

1462
01:17:37,080 --> 01:17:39,640
That's right. It is our podcast.

1463
01:17:40,040 --> 01:17:42,840
So speaking of which, if you had a good time,

1464
01:17:42,840 --> 01:17:47,840
you should rate us five stars out of five stars on your podcast platform.

1465
01:17:47,920 --> 01:17:50,160
Whatever you're listening to right now, go to it and do this.

1466
01:17:50,160 --> 01:17:52,600
Also, leave a comment. If you can leave a comment.

1467
01:17:52,600 --> 01:17:54,360
We like that. It's good for discoverability.

1468
01:17:54,360 --> 01:17:56,120
This is our first new.

1469
01:17:56,120 --> 01:17:57,760
This is the first episode of a new show.

1470
01:17:57,760 --> 01:17:59,960
So hopefully we have some new people jumping on.

1471
01:18:00,120 --> 01:18:02,240
Maybe this is a good time to tell people to jump on.

1472
01:18:02,400 --> 01:18:04,280
It also means we just finished up another show.

1473
01:18:04,280 --> 01:18:06,400
So if you have any friends or anybody

1474
01:18:06,400 --> 01:18:08,280
you think might be interested in Skip Beat,

1475
01:18:08,280 --> 01:18:11,280
they can listen to our coverage of Skip Beat.

1476
01:18:12,240 --> 01:18:13,920
I've also covered some other shows.

1477
01:18:13,920 --> 01:18:15,760
We covered Kibbe de Tadoké,

1478
01:18:15,760 --> 01:18:18,080
which is how did season three come out earlier this year?

1479
01:18:18,440 --> 01:18:22,760
We covered Angelic Layer, which shows it's not streaming anywhere.

1480
01:18:22,760 --> 01:18:26,400
But you know, maybe that's like a little more reason why you should watch it.

1481
01:18:26,400 --> 01:18:27,880
Right. What are they hiding from you?

1482
01:18:27,880 --> 01:18:29,880
What do they not want you to see?

1483
01:18:32,200 --> 01:18:34,600
So please, please recommend us with that.

1484
01:18:34,600 --> 01:18:36,800

Yeah. So if you're playing or making

1489
01:18:46,840 --> 01:18:51,480
card into a VR video game, let us know at that email

1490
01:18:51,480 --> 01:18:55,400
because I am so down to promote where I can.

1491
01:18:55,440 --> 01:18:58,800
Oh, I want to play a fictional thing that does

1492
01:18:58,920 --> 01:19:01,240
will never exist so badly.

1493
01:19:01,240 --> 01:19:02,800
Uh huh.

1494
01:19:02,800 --> 01:19:04,680
Or like at least a phone. I don't know.

1495
01:19:04,680 --> 01:19:06,680
Yeah, it's tough.

1496
01:19:06,680 --> 01:19:11,400
Um, I guess because I like I don't know what it is.

1497
01:19:11,400 --> 01:19:13,280
It's like even.

1498
01:19:13,280 --> 01:19:15,960
Yeah. Well, it's like a thing is not based off.

1499
01:19:16,120 --> 01:19:19,680
Well, some scenarios can be come down to luck.

1500
01:19:19,720 --> 01:19:21,120
But I don't know.

1501
01:19:21,120 --> 01:19:28,160
It's like memorization is a good thing to work on and anyone can play it.

1502
01:19:28,160 --> 01:19:30,000
You know, I don't. Yeah, I just like it.

1503
01:19:30,000 --> 01:19:34,200
Um, the sport I don't have to go outside for.

1504
01:19:34,320 --> 01:19:37,160
Oh, it's not a particularly athletic sport is what you're saying.

1505
01:19:37,160 --> 01:19:39,400
You saw sweaty. They got playing it.

1506
01:19:39,400 --> 01:19:41,600
Yeah. OK, I see why you like this.

1507
01:19:41,600 --> 01:19:44,000
Uh huh. Uh huh.

1508
01:19:44,560 --> 01:19:46,480
Um, yeah. So.

1509
01:19:46,480 --> 01:19:48,480
Or something.

1510
01:19:50,280 --> 01:19:52,240
Uh huh. I guess.

1511
01:19:52,240 --> 01:19:54,400
I don't know.

1512
01:19:54,400 --> 01:19:56,000
Volleyball is indoors.

1513
01:19:56,000 --> 01:19:57,000
That's indoors.

1514
01:19:57,000 --> 01:19:57,880
It is also pretty.

1515
01:19:57,880 --> 01:20:00,480
Yeah, you do got to jump around, though.

1516
01:20:00,480 --> 01:20:02,480
Yeah, knees.

1517
01:20:03,000 --> 01:20:04,600
Not good. I'm.

1518
01:20:04,600 --> 01:20:11,400
I oh, I like fell down in a parking lot like a week ago.

1519
01:20:11,520 --> 01:20:13,400
So hard, like.

1520
01:20:13,400 --> 01:20:15,800
Oh. So hard.

1521
01:20:15,800 --> 01:20:18,000
It like I had like my hands are scuffed up.

1522
01:20:18,000 --> 01:20:19,480
Oh, it was all bruised.

1523
01:20:19,480 --> 01:20:21,480
I was like, damn, like I could have.

1524
01:20:21,480 --> 01:20:23,560
I could have boxed a hip at my age.

1525
01:20:23,560 --> 01:20:25,040
Like. OK.

1526
01:20:25,040 --> 01:20:31,040
Yeah, I like what?

1527
01:20:31,040 --> 01:20:33,680
Luckily, I mean, my phone case is kind of scuffed up,

1528
01:20:33,680 --> 01:20:36,480
but my phone is it because I like had my phone in my hand.

1529
01:20:36,480 --> 01:20:40,120
And I like fell and it was like like scraping as I was flying.

1530
01:20:40,120 --> 01:20:41,720
Oh.

1531
01:20:41,720 --> 01:20:46,320
So at least it kind of protected my right hand from getting to.

1532
01:20:46,360 --> 01:20:48,200
Could have been a disaster. Yeah. No, that's good.

1533
01:20:48,200 --> 01:20:49,120
I know.

1534
01:20:49,120 --> 01:20:49,400
Well, it's better.

1535
01:20:49,400 --> 01:20:51,200
I still went into Barnes and Noble.

1536
01:20:51,200 --> 01:20:52,280
Was it stopped me?

1537
01:20:52,280 --> 01:20:55,200
I was hobbling around the bookstore.

1538
01:20:55,200 --> 01:20:56,320
I still went shopping.

1539
01:20:56,320 --> 01:20:58,720
Nothing nothing can prevent me from my mission.

1540
01:20:58,720 --> 01:21:01,440
No, that's right.

1541
01:21:01,440 --> 01:21:02,440
I would have just gone home.

1542
01:21:02,440 --> 01:21:05,000
I just feel like that's it. I'm done for today.

1543
01:21:05,000 --> 01:21:05,840
It's over.

1544
01:21:05,840 --> 01:21:07,520
No, I was determined.

1545
01:21:07,520 --> 01:21:11,640
I'd already walked out of my car is.

1546
01:21:11,640 --> 01:21:13,400
And. But yeah.

1547
01:21:13,400 --> 01:21:15,760
And so that's the pod.

1548
01:21:15,920 --> 01:21:17,840
Yeah, we'll see you next week.

1549
01:21:17,840 --> 01:21:18,960
Two more episodes.

1550
01:21:18,960 --> 01:21:22,520
Yeah, welcome new listeners.

1551
01:21:24,120 --> 01:21:26,000
Yeah, we're we're happy to have you.

1552
01:21:26,720 --> 01:21:31,920
And we'll we'll we'll hear from us next week.

1553
01:21:31,960 --> 01:21:33,200
Every Wednesday.

1554
01:21:33,200 --> 01:21:34,520
So till then.

1555
01:21:34,520 --> 01:21:36,560
What have we learned this episode?

1556
01:21:36,560 --> 01:21:38,800
Don't steal someone's if you.

1557
01:21:38,800 --> 01:21:39,800
Well, yeah.

1558
01:21:39,800 --> 01:21:43,360
You're being interested in your child, all your children.

1559
01:21:43,360 --> 01:21:44,600
Like I pay attention to your kids.

1560
01:21:44,600 --> 01:21:47,120
Just favor one.

1561
01:21:47,120 --> 01:21:50,400
Yeah, don't don't just favor one just because she's winning.

1562
01:21:50,400 --> 01:21:53,560
You contest maybe.

1563
01:21:53,600 --> 01:21:57,160
You're not going to press the girl by stealing some other kids'

1564
01:21:57,160 --> 01:21:59,200
glasses. That just isn't going to do it.

1565
01:21:59,200 --> 01:22:01,480
She's probably never going to be into you.

1566
01:22:01,480 --> 01:22:02,360
You should just give up.

1567
01:22:02,360 --> 01:22:04,200
Don't tell her she looks like a boy.

1568
01:22:04,200 --> 01:22:06,560
That's also not going to also your 12.

1569
01:22:06,560 --> 01:22:08,200
So like none of this matters.

1570
01:22:08,200 --> 01:22:10,760
You're 12. Who cares?

1571
01:22:10,760 --> 01:22:13,400
If you if someone asks if you have a girlfriend,

1572
01:22:13,400 --> 01:22:16,080
don't just like immediately be super dismissive of her.

1573
01:22:16,080 --> 01:22:17,080
That's not great.

1574
01:22:17,080 --> 01:22:21,000
Yeah, even if that's true, it like reflects poorly on you.

1575
01:22:21,000 --> 01:22:22,000
You know what I mean?

1576
01:22:22,000 --> 01:22:23,880
Yeah, you shouldn't say that out loud.

1577
01:22:23,880 --> 01:22:26,680
You should at least be like, oh, you know, I'm still kind of like new.

1578
01:22:26,680 --> 01:22:30,680
So I'm like, you know, don't immediately like girlfriend.

1579
01:22:32,200 --> 01:22:34,240
Get in between you and card.

1580
01:22:35,120 --> 01:22:39,200
Like, yeah, why even date somebody play this weird card game?

1581
01:22:39,720 --> 01:22:41,200
Yeah, that's right.

1582
01:22:41,200 --> 01:22:42,200
Yeah.

1583
01:22:42,200 --> 01:22:43,480
All right. Playing weird card games.

1584
01:22:43,480 --> 01:22:46,400
But OK, on that note.

1585
01:22:46,400 --> 01:23:11,720
Bye bye. Bye.
