1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:22,480
I'm going to take a guess as to what that was.

2
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:24,360
Do you have a harmonica?

3
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:25,360
Yeah.

4
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,360
Are you playing the harmonica?

5
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:32,360
I thought it would be fun to do a little.

6
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:33,360
Like, yeah.

7
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:37,360
Play us a new intro song.

8
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:38,360
Okay.

9
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,360
Discord picked up none of that.

10
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,360
So I'll have to listen to it.

11
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:45,360
Okay.

12
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,360
Well, my podcast.

13
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:48,360
Wait.

14
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:49,360
Yeah.

15
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,360
Just like, yeah.

16
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:52,360
That's great.

17
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:53,360
Just play us a harmonica song.

18
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,360
That could be our new intro music.

19
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,360
I just, I found it and I was like, oh, this will be fun.

20
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:03,360
Just start the episode with a little fade in.

21
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:08,360
The end of the year we can have like a, like a harmonica album release.

22
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:09,360
Yes.

23
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:13,360
Cause I totally know how to play a harmonica.

24
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:14,360
Yeah.

25
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,360
Why else would you have one?

26
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:17,360
Yeah.

27
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:23,360
Well, just cause I was from a Jean through some old stuff and found this like camping

28
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:28,360
kit and had a harmonica playing cards and like marshmallow roasters.

29
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,360
And so, yeah.

30
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,360
Anyways, welcome to so Joe.

31
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,360
This is a podcast about anime.

32
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:44,360
You may not have picked that up from our beginning here, but that's because we aren't just

33
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,360
the anime podcaster.

34
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:51,360
Just lovely to listen to regardless of what we're talking about.

35
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,360
We're partially a camping podcast now.

36
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,360
What's your favorite type of tent?

37
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:05,360
All I know is that Joe is ready to make his return to camping after we've heard his previous

38
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,360
saga of camping disaster.

39
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:08,360
Yes.

40
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,360
Disaster camping.

41
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,360
I do not want to be a podcast about camping actually.

42
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,360
They got to be out there already.

43
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,360
Oh, for sure.

44
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:23,360
What do we think the audience overlap between like people who like camping and anime fans

45
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,360
already think it's big?

46
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:27,360
I don't know.

47
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,360
There was an anime about camping.

48
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:30,360
There was.

49
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,360
Oh, you know, it's not these girls, right?

50
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:37,360
That like, yeah, it's like, it's like the cute girls doing mundane things genre of anime

51
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,360
and just go camping.

52
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,360
And apparently it's, I don't know.

53
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:42,360
I've heard it's like, all right.

54
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:43,360
Okay.

55
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:44,360
Go camping.

56
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:45,360
Yay.

57
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,360
Yay, camping.

58
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:48,360
Yeah.

59
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,360
I'm Sarah.

60
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,360
That's Joe.

61
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:58,360
We make up the dynamic duo of so Joe.

62
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,360
Which one's the Robin?

63
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,360
Am I the Robin?

64
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:06,360
No, I think you're Batman and I am Robin.

65
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,360
Oh, I'm the Batman.

66
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:09,360
Yeah.

67
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,360
I feel more like the Alfred to be honest.

68
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:12,360
Yeah.

69
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,360
Oh, he's cool.

70
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,360
He is cool.

71
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,360
Robin does turn into Nightwing.

72
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,360
Well, there's, which Robin are you?

73
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:21,360
There's multiple.

74
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:22,360
That's a good point.

75
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,360
I always, I am very partial to Dick Grayson Robin.

76
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,360
So I do like the Nightwing Robin.

77
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:29,360
Yeah.

78
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,360
I haven't seen that much stuff with the other ones, I guess to be honest.

79
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,360
I don't like the, I don't like his kid, his actual kid.

80
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,360
I think that Damien, I think, right?

81
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:37,360
Yeah.

82
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:38,360
Yeah.

83
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:39,360
Yeah.

84
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:40,360
He's wild.

85
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,360
Which can be fun, but it's kind of exhausting, you know?

86
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:43,360
Hmm.

87
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,360
Oh, Tim's cool.

88
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:46,360
I don't know which one.

89
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:47,360
Drake, is that it?

90
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,360
All I know is from young justice.

91
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:51,360
Yeah.

92
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:52,360
He's the one in that one.

93
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:53,360
Cause the other ones.

94
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:54,360
Yeah.

95
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:55,360
Yeah.

96
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:56,360
Already.

97
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:57,360
Yeah.

98
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,360
Um, but yeah, we've, we, I should probably be like, Oh,

99
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,360
me and Joe, good friends for over a decade.

100
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:08,360
We both love gaming and anime and I wanted to stay in touch.

101
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:12,360
So this podcast has been our way of doing that.

102
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:13,360
Um,

103
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,360
and we wanted to learn, I wanted to learn.

104
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:16,360
This is new to me.

105
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:20,360
So I'm learning a lot about, um, show Joe anime,

106
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:24,360
anime that is geared towards, uh, women and girls, I guess,

107
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,360
we're kind of in the little Josay space technically.

108
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:30,360
So that has been interesting to me.

109
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,360
What's the consensus so far?

110
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,360
What does Joe think of the consensus?

111
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,360
So Joe, so Joe,

112
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,360
Well, we watched, we watched four things, right?

113
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,360
They haven't compared to like, so like I've watched a lot of

114
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:44,360
shown it obviously.

115
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:48,360
Um, that tends to be more fantasy oriented.

116
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,360
And so far we haven't watched anything that's super fantasy oriented,

117
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,360
even the thing that we almost watched, Kami-sama kiss, like

118
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,360
fantasy elements, but it's still fundamentally like in the

119
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,360
normal regular world, right?

120
00:04:58,360 --> 00:04:59,360
Yeah.

121
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:00,360
Yeah.

122
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,360
But there is, I haven't seen that as much even like Sailor Moon,

123
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:03,360
right?

124
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:04,360
Like it's, it most of the time,

125
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:05,360
Yeah.

126
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:06,360
In the regular world.

127
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:07,360
Yep.

128
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:08,360
Yep.

129
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:13,360
I haven't seen, you know, it's not like one piece or, um,

130
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,360
what else is like, like Naruto or whatever, where it's like a fantasy

131
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,360
world that just like doesn't reflect reality at all.

132
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:20,360
Full metal.

133
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:21,360
I haven't seen that.

134
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:22,360
Well, yeah.

135
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,360
I guess it's kind of industrial based.

136
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:25,360
Um,

137
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,360
Which is interesting.

138
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,360
Yeah, I just wait till we do

139
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,360
Fushigi Yu-Gi, which is an ancient China.

140
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:34,360
Or whatever.

141
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,360
But ancient China is still a real place though.

142
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,360
Well, okay.

143
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,360
Totally fictional.

144
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:41,360
Um,

145
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:42,360
Oh dear.

146
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:46,360
So that one podcast or that one anime I talked about on the very

147
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:50,360
first thing we recorded for this sugar apple fairy tale with the

148
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,360
enslaved fairies thing.

149
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:53,360
That's

150
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,360
It's a world.

151
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:56,360
That's okay.

152
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:57,360
That's a good point.

153
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:58,360
Uh huh.

154
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,360
But that just feels like that feels like a very prevalent thing and

155
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:01,360
shown in.

156
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,360
And I just really haven't seen it at all in the world building aspect.

157
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:05,360
Yeah.

158
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:06,360
So that's a good point.

159
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:07,360
Yeah.

160
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:08,360
I guess cause.

161
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:09,360
Show,

162
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,360
Maybe shown in is more about.

163
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:12,360
Like,

164
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,360
Like doing things.

165
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,360
And Shojo is more about.

166
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,360
The characters.

167
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:19,360
Um,

168
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:20,360
So it's like,

169
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,360
It may also just be the environment and just more about.

170
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:23,360
Yeah.

171
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:24,360
Yeah.

172
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:25,360
The character specifically.

173
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,360
That may also be like a more recent thing that got more popular.

174
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,360
Cause we're watching stuff that's like a little bit older, right?

175
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,360
And like it's been adapted from manga that's older.

176
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:33,360
Yeah.

177
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,360
Like a lot of old.

178
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,360
Stories like this being written listening.

179
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:38,360
Yeah.

180
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:39,360
She's just like,

181
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,360
I know like a lot of details into like I'm sending them about.

182
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:43,360
tao nazis.

183
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:47,360
But I think is just narrating in that you've done that a lot of.

184
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,360
Brick on the reed like really well.

185
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:50,360
When you before the age fantasy world,

186
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:51,360
everything's different is like a newer.

187
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,360
A favorite Risen popularity recently,

188
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:55,360
I'm thinking of like,

189
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,360
Y a books that like our popular with women, like the.

190
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,800
I read the first volume.

191
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:03,400
OK, is that a book?

192
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,080
Is the first volume a book or is it like?

193
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,600
Yeah, sorry. Yeah, it's a book and a series.

194
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:10,680
OK, it's.

195
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,160
What was mediocre about it?

196
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,440
I don't know, like the writing average,

197
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,040
you know, like what?

198
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:19,560
It's like Twilight level.

199
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:20,840
No, get their ass.

200
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:22,800
I don't care. I have no stake in this.

201
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,360
I think I don't know.

202
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,840
I just it's like the new Twilight where it's like

203
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,640
the love triangle and, you know,

204
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,680
oh, she turns into this, you know, she was human,

205
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,760
but then like turns into the other thing.

206
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:36,240
Blah, blah, blah.

207
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,640
I don't know. It just it was fine.

208
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:41,480
It was fine.

209
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,840
I feel like a retread, like you're just doing this again,

210
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,480
but like with a different coat of paint.

211
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,520
I mean, I just kind of the whole time I was reading it,

212
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,160
just felt like this is someone

213
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,040
I just didn't feel very sophisticated writing

214
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:58,840
or it felt so cliche and of like, I'm the tough girl

215
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:04,680
who knows how to fight and I hate being girly and this and that.

216
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,160
And oh, really?

217
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,360
Like it means like really hard.

218
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:11,440
That's funny.

219
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,480
Yeah, my sister frigging loves a series.

220
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:15,680
It's fine. It's OK.

221
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:19,240
Maybe it gets maybe the author gets better at writing.

222
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,560
I just I just didn't feel remarkable to me in any way

223
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,600
as someone who's read a lot of romance and fantasy.

224
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:29,840
I don't know.

225
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,040
Christopher Poloni or whatever,

226
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:35,840
19 year old dude, just something he just crushed it.

227
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:37,880
Ergon is probably one of my favorite books.

228
00:08:38,680 --> 00:08:39,680
Oh, I couldn't read that book.

229
00:08:39,680 --> 00:08:41,880
I tried reading that book and I'm like, I can't do this.

230
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,680
And it's a little bit of a slusser.

231
00:08:44,680 --> 00:08:48,400
I can't do fantasy tropes where like

232
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:50,720
the thing is obvious what's going to happen,

233
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,080
but they have to act like this is the draw.

234
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:54,440
You know what I mean? Yeah.

235
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,760
That's the thing I can't do where it's like, oh, I'm like an orphan.

236
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,680
And I don't know who my parents are, but I'm really good at this thing.

237
00:08:58,680 --> 00:09:00,680
I'm like, let me get your parents are like, that's true.

238
00:09:00,680 --> 00:09:02,160
Legendarily good at this thing.

239
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:02,840
And it's like, yes.

240
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,120
And I'm just like, dude, I can't like that can't be the core thing of the book.

241
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,680
The book has to have something else for me to latch on to.

242
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:11,760
Yeah, that's a good point.

243
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,040
That's because I'm an adult and I've read a bunch of other stuff.

244
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,960
And this is like not written for a bunch of other stuff.

245
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:22,160
So yeah, I'm a novel or an adult genre.

246
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,720
Both of them. Well, now the.

247
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:30,080
Act are, I think, is what the short hand for a court of thorns and roses.

248
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:31,640
Oh, yeah. Yeah.

249
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:32,640
That sounds right.

250
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:37,560
I it's I don't remember how it's I feel like it's not that explicit.

251
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,720
That's what.

252
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,080
What, like there's sex in it?

253
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:42,560
What do you mean? Yeah, yeah.

254
00:09:42,560 --> 00:09:45,480
It's like it's like it's muddy a little bit,

255
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,240
which is like the big draw of it, I think, for most chicks.

256
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:51,600
Oh, really?

257
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:56,480
Yes. I kind of didn't read 50 shades of gray, but

258
00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:59,720
I'm assuming it's less than that.

259
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:01,000
I don't know. It's fine.

260
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:01,600
That makes sense.

261
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:07,400
Whatever gets women or just people more interested in fantasy and stuff is good.

262
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:09,920
But yeah.

263
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,000
Yeah. Oh, it's just like it's an interesting thing

264
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,600
that I know is popular now that is not present in any of these shows

265
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,520
that we've watched so far. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

266
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:19,680
I'll have to think on that.

267
00:10:19,680 --> 00:10:21,640
We've only watched four shows, so that's what I know.

268
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,440
Although I looked at the list and don't see a lot on the list either.

269
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:25,760
That really falls into that.

270
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,000
Yes, you're right.

271
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:31,040
I mean, like everything I think is a show, Joe is a shonen.

272
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:32,000
Now it turns out.

273
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,800
Or me, a shonen and just layer.

274
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,080
Yeah, shonen.

275
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,480
What is happening?

276
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,240
I mean, there's going to be some stuff that is like,

277
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,920
I know Utena is like a weird fantasy world, kind of.

278
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:45,800
Uh huh.

279
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:50,440
Um, yes, well, we'll get to that at some point.

280
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:52,080
Yeah, we'll get there.

281
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,080
It just seems a lot of these are the.

282
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,600
I'm a high school girl.

283
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:04,760
Things happen to me that are either like unusual or in some cases,

284
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:05,400
kind of one day.

285
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,320
And I mean, Kimi Nii Tadokie was kind of just like,

286
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:08,400
this could be someone's life.

287
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,680
I guess there's nothing like stopping it for being someone's life.

288
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,640
I guess it could be like when the demographic

289
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:19,240
gets like basically relatable, because if you're in school

290
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,760
and then protagonists is in school and then they have these

291
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,400
interesting things happen, that's exciting.

292
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,480
Thinking about them happening to you.

293
00:11:26,680 --> 00:11:31,400
Whereas boys like just want to fan her or more inclined for like

294
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,320
more exciting than what life is currently, maybe.

295
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:36,600
Or disasphide or.

296
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,280
Yeah, I'm trying to think of like, like what is the like US equivalent?

297
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,720
Like what were you watching that was not, you know,

298
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:47,920
like anime in like middle school, high school.

299
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,960
Avatar Lost Runner, which is technically not anime.

300
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,120
Well, but like geared towards like geared more towards women, right?

301
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,080
Like I'm thinking about like there's a lot of TV,

302
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:58,480
like there was like that's so Raven.

303
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,680
There was like, you know, Wizards of Waverly Place,

304
00:12:00,680 --> 00:12:03,480
like that kind of like the live action kind of like Disney.

305
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,480
Because you had like a victorious that was on what?

306
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:08,520
Nickelodeon.

307
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:08,920
We were.

308
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:10,800
Yeah, yes, we were.

309
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:14,400
We were like Ham on Tannin.

310
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:18,880
So I would sometimes see it by proxy.

311
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,920
But I feel like I think.

312
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,720
What I watched that I don't know, Teen Titans.

313
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:28,800
I try to think.

314
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:30,520
I don't know if I can see that much.

315
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,160
Because I started watching anime when I was in middle school.

316
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:34,520
So then that's like all.

317
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:35,480
Yeah, but I mean like.

318
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:36,960
Oh, OK, I see.

319
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:37,320
I see.

320
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,520
Yeah, like a lot of like cartoons.

321
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,480
Race Face.

322
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:42,200
I was a guy.

323
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:42,760
They weren't.

324
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:44,560
Yeah, they weren't like explicitly gendered.

325
00:12:44,560 --> 00:12:48,080
I mean, it's mostly just like like is the power of girls for girls.

326
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,360
Oh, totally spies.

327
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:51,240
Totally spies.

328
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:51,400
Right.

329
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,240
Like I also watch that even though it's like all women.

330
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:55,320
Yeah, yeah.

331
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,880
Then you had stuff that's like kind of on like Code Lyoko, right?

332
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,280
Like there are women and guys.

333
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:01,720
People watch both of that stuff.

334
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:06,200
So it's like there's a lot less obvious demographic.

335
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,000
Like shifts or like marketing for stuff, right?

336
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,320
And then you have like SpongeBob and things like that, which is just.

337
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:12,920
Rodney for everyone.

338
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,720
Long American Dragon was Danny Fanta.

339
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,520
These are things like Justice League Unlimited.

340
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:25,160
Yeah, but like I feel like maybe the like Hannah Montana kind of thing is the

341
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:29,360
analog I should be drawing for this because that fits more into what we've

342
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:29,920
watched, right?

343
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,880
Where it's like, oh, you're like a high school girl and here's some weird stuff

344
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,320
going on in your life that's like goofy and bizarre, right?

345
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:43,320
Yeah, I having the hardest time of thinking of like live actions that I watch.

346
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:47,320
I really was just more into the animated things.

347
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:52,320
Once I was of a certain age.

348
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:53,320
I don't know.

349
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:54,320
What were you watching?

350
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:58,320
I mean, I watched those shows like I mean, I watched like a bunch of cartoons.

351
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,320
I kind of just watched like everything cartoons.

352
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,320
I didn't watch any anime really because I didn't have any shows or like channels

353
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:05,320
that would play it.

354
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:10,320
I watched two Nami, you know, like once a week, essentially.

355
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:14,320
Yeah, like I would watch all the stuff that people remember, right?

356
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,320
I'd watch some of the stuff people don't remember as well.

357
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:17,320
Like I'd watch Cat Dog.

358
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:18,320
I'd watch Angry Beaver.

359
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:23,320
You know, I did like Nets Declassified School Survival Guide.

360
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,320
I like that one a lot.

361
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,320
That's another kind of gender neutral one, though.

362
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,320
I did watch Zoe 101.

363
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,320
Yeah, Zoe 101.

364
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:33,320
I did watch that.

365
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:37,320
A little bit of The Sweet Life of Zack and Cody, I guess.

366
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:38,320
But Drake and Josh.

367
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,320
That's another one that I liked a lot.

368
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:41,320
Drake and Josh.

369
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:42,320
Yeah.

370
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,320
Yeah, not like very.

371
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:48,320
Very much targeted content.

372
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:49,320
Yeah.

373
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:50,320
Yeah.

374
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,320
Like I watched even Stevens, you know, I mean, like there's stuff on there,

375
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,320
but it's like not as impossible.

376
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:56,320
Impossible.

377
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,320
Yeah, I did watch Kim possible.

378
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,320
That was that was quite good.

379
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:01,320
Yeah.

380
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,320
But yeah, nothing like super.

381
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:09,320
I did like the Barbie movies when I was a younger girl.

382
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,320
Like I probably got myself sealed by the time.

383
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,320
Yeah.

384
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:18,320
And those sometimes those are set in like fantastical places.

385
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:19,320
Yeah, sure.

386
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:20,320
Yeah.

387
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,320
Oh, that's interesting.

388
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:26,320
Like the comparison point of like what.

389
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:31,320
I guess like US media has to offer or did have to offer us growing up

390
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:35,320
versus like kind of what is we're watching now on this show and like

391
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,320
the different anima's and stuff like that.

392
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:38,320
Yeah.

393
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,320
I mean, they have that stuff there.

394
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:44,320
Like, you know, I mean, because they're just fun to know what the like

395
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:48,320
frequency of cartoons released at that time versus frequency of anime

396
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,320
released at the time, but if they had like a lot more anime coming out,

397
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,320
then maybe it's just easier to turn out.

398
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,320
Yeah.

399
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,320
Comparative action stuff than it is here.

400
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:00,320
Yeah.

401
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,320
So it is still like, oh, that's for kids.

402
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,320
Or at least for the older generation, very much like.

403
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:05,320
Yeah.

404
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,320
Anime is not for adults.

405
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:08,320
Yeah.

406
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,320
I mean, I think that's especially true here.

407
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,320
Like cartoons is like definitely coded for kids stuff, especially because

408
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,320
like, I don't know, like my parents were very much like,

409
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,320
thought it was weird that I would watch cartoons as I got older,

410
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,320
which makes sense because they the cartoons they grew up on were like

411
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,320
the Transformers TV show and like Thundercats.

412
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,320
And if you watch that nowadays, it's very obvious that this is just like

413
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:27,320
an ad for toys, essentially.

414
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:28,320
Yeah.

415
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:29,320
And we did not have writers.

416
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,320
And then when I grew up, they had writers.

417
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,320
So the writing was actually good.

418
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:34,320
So yeah.

419
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,320
Significant difference in terms of quality.

420
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:38,320
I don't know.

421
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:39,320
Yeah, I enjoyed being a kid.

422
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,320
So maybe it's just like being a kid at that time.

423
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,320
There's extra fun or I don't know.

424
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,320
Are we, um, I don't think I.

425
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,320
I think my family just knew I was quirky.

426
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,320
So they just, and my mom had my sister to be the normal one.

427
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,320
Okay.

428
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,320
Do the normal stuff with.

429
00:16:58,320 --> 00:16:59,320
Yeah.

430
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,320
Yeah.

431
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,320
Well, any other catching up you want to do?

432
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,320
Do anything fun, watch any anime?

433
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:12,320
I did try a couple of series and couldn't get into.

434
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:13,320
Any of them.

435
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:14,320
Let me pull up.

436
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,320
Okay.

437
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,320
Um, let's see.

438
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,320
I tried solo leveling.

439
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,320
I watched six episodes of that.

440
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:26,320
Okay.

441
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,320
Very, very unlikable protagonist.

442
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,320
So don't want to watch it.

443
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:35,320
Um, I tried the 12 Kingdom show that like all 2002 one.

444
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:36,320
Yeah.

445
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,320
It's a little rough.

446
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:39,320
Okay.

447
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,320
Or everything feels like a knockoff of fishy.

448
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,320
You sometimes like same with them.

449
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,320
Yona of the dawn, but.

450
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:51,320
Um, I was like, Oh, maybe I'll try that new Rooney Kenshin remake.

451
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:52,320
Um,

452
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,320
I never really watched the anime.

453
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:56,320
I just had the manga.

454
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,320
It was like a really gritty manga.

455
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,320
And I don't understand why that was like one of the first series

456
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,320
that I finished when I was like 13.

457
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:04,320
Um,

458
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,320
Yeah, I can't watch that show anymore.

459
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,320
Yeah.

460
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,320
Even the stuff about their creator of it.

461
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:12,320
What happened with the creator?

462
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:13,320
Oh God.

463
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:14,320
What?

464
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:15,320
Oh, you don't know this?

465
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,320
I don't stay up to date with anything.

466
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:19,320
Oh God.

467
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:20,320
What is it?

468
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:21,320
Okay.

469
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,320
Let me make sure I'm saying the right thing here.

470
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:24,320
So keep talking.

471
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:25,320
Oh dear.

472
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:26,320
Okay.

473
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,320
Well, everybody's sex.

474
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,320
It's just who's secrets come out or not.

475
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:31,320
I guess.

476
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,320
Oh dear.

477
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:34,320
Keep talking.

478
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:35,320
Let me let me.

479
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:36,320
Yeah.

480
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:37,320
Cause I have.

481
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:41,320
It's like 27 28 volumes.

482
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:42,320
Uh,

483
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:47,320
And yeah, for some reason I picked that up and it's so gory and so

484
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:48,320
political.

485
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:54,320
And I feel like I understood maybe like 50% of what the,

486
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,320
like I was so dumb.

487
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,320
I don't know why.

488
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,320
I don't know why that's a series I had.

489
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,320
I still have it, but I need to reread and see.

490
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:04,320
Um,

491
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,320
Cause I have the sense and goomy,

492
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,320
which I only know from the dating thing called Hakaoki.

493
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:10,320
Um,

494
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,320
I don't know what I'm talking about.

495
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:13,320
So.

496
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:14,320
What?

497
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:15,320
Well,

498
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,320
the creator of a runny kitchen in.

499
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,320
18.

500
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:24,320
Um, was charged for possession of child pornography.

501
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:25,320
Uh,

502
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,320
basically it seems got a slap on the wrist.

503
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,320
Uh, because you know.

504
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,320
Yeah.

505
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,320
Just as systems.

506
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:35,320
Yeah.

507
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:36,320
Uh,

508
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:40,320
I don't know if that's like totally resolved yet,

509
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:41,320
but yeah,

510
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,320
so ever since I learned about that,

511
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,320
I cannot engage with that.

512
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,320
And also like a lot of these manga creators hang out with each

513
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,320
other and see still like pals around with people like the guy

514
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:52,320
who made one piece,

515
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,320
which makes me pretty like not,

516
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:55,320
not great.

517
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:56,320
Yeah.

518
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:57,320
Yeah.

519
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:58,320
Um,

520
00:19:58,320 --> 00:19:59,320
you know,

521
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:00,320
yeah.

522
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:01,320
Anyway,

523
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:02,320
that's,

524
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:03,320
that's,

525
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:04,320
that's,

526
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,320
that's my thoughts on that.

527
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:08,320
Okay.

528
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:09,320
Gotcha.

529
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:10,320
Well,

530
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:11,320
anyway,

531
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,320
it's not nothing caught my eye really.

532
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:14,320
How about you, Joe?

533
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:19,320
I watched the first episode of the Ronma one half remake having

534
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,320
never watched the original show or like knowing very little about

535
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:23,320
it.

536
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:27,320
All I knew was the gender swapping thing and there's a character

537
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:28,320
named shampoo.

538
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:29,320
Yeah,

539
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:30,320
I love shampoo.

540
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:31,320
That's all I know.

541
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:32,320
I don't know who she is.

542
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,320
I just know what's her name.

543
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,320
She's the lady with the purple hair.

544
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:37,320
Yeah.

545
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:38,320
Yeah.

546
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:42,320
So this was originally what in the nineties or something.

547
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:43,320
Yeah.

548
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:44,320
Yeah.

549
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:45,320
Yeah.

550
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:46,320
It was probably the nineties.

551
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:47,320
Yeah.

552
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:48,320
89.

553
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,320
So 89 in the nineties.

554
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:51,320
Okay.

555
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:52,320
Um,

556
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:59,320
this is a show about a guy named Ronma who is like a

557
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:03,320
martial artist and him and his dad go on a trip to China to

558
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:04,320
like train,

559
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,320
do some kind of special training and then go to this like

560
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:11,320
cursed springs area where if you fall into one of the pools,

561
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:12,320
you,

562
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:13,320
um,

563
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,320
turn into whatever creature died in that pool.

564
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:20,320
So the dad falls into a pool that turns it into a giant panda.

565
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,320
So when he gets wet with cold water, he becomes a giant panda.

566
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:24,320
Oh, when he become,

567
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,320
he gets wet with warm water.

568
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,320
He goes back to his like regular self and Ronma falls into one

569
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,320
that turns him into a young girl.

570
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,320
So it is a gender swapping thing where when he gets wet with

571
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:35,320
cold water,

572
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,320
he becomes a girl and when he gets wet with warm water,

573
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:38,320
he goes back to being a guy.

574
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:44,320
He is engaged to some other chick because their families

575
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,320
arranged this marriage to keep their dojos going.

576
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:48,320
Um,

577
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,320
and so it's basically just a story about that.

578
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:52,320
It's like a comedy.

579
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:53,320
Uh,

580
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,320
from what I, you know, from what I remember people talking about,

581
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,320
this is like a pretty, the original was like, you know, had a lot

582
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:00,320
of, um,

583
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,320
Oh, you have the manga for it.

584
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:03,320
Yeah.

585
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:04,320
I have the entire manga series.

586
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:05,320
Um,

587
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:06,320
Wow.

588
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:07,320
Okay.

589
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,320
I really liked the cover with this first one.

590
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:10,320
Um,

591
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:11,320
Yeah, it looks nice.

592
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,320
I've heard that the,

593
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:14,320
I haven't,

594
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,320
I've only watched the first episode as well,

595
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,320
but like it's heavily censored for this one.

596
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:19,320
Um,

597
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:24,320
as far as just minor things like, uh, apparel that had certain

598
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,320
symbols on them and stuff like that.

599
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:27,320
Yeah.

600
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,320
Like it, like, you know, the original show,

601
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,320
I know had like some like nudity and stuff in it.

602
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:33,320
The new show doesn't,

603
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,320
I don't know if I would consider that censoring because I think

604
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,320
it's just like a more pleasant show to watch.

605
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:39,320
I mean,

606
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:43,320
there's not like detail really being shown more than there is

607
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:44,320
in the anime.

608
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,320
As far as I don't know,

609
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:47,320
I didn't watch the way you said it.

610
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:48,320
I can't do like, oh, they censored this.

611
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,320
I don't really think censoring like nudity in this show is that

612
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:52,320
big of a deal.

613
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,320
I think that kind of doesn't matter.

614
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:55,320
I mean,

615
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:56,320
I haven't seen the original show.

616
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,320
So I don't know how much comedy in this,

617
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,320
in the martial arts in this series.

618
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:01,320
Um,

619
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:02,320
Yeah.

620
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:03,320
Yeah.

621
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:04,320
I mean, I found the show pretty charming.

622
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:05,320
Like I think,

623
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:06,320
like Ron was pretty fun.

624
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:07,320
Um,

625
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,320
I like sub or dub.

626
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:10,320
Uh,

627
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:11,320
I watched the subs of it.

628
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:12,320
Okay.

629
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:13,320
Has the original voice cast.

630
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:14,320
Oh, really?

631
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:15,320
Um,

632
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:16,320
that's what,

633
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:17,320
that's what Jenny told me.

634
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:18,320
Okay.

635
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:19,320
Uh,

636
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,320
I'll watch that instead.

637
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,320
Did not like the dub.

638
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:24,320
Yeah.

639
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:25,320
I like all the characters so far.

640
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,320
It's pretty funny.

641
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:28,320
Um,

642
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:29,320
it, you know,

643
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:30,320
the art looks pretty good.

644
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:31,320
It's just like,

645
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,320
it's totally charming so far.

646
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:34,320
I know this is like a long running series.

647
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,320
So I'm sure at some point.

648
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,320
It will be less charming or,

649
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,320
I don't know if it'll fall off or it'll maintain,

650
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:41,320
but so far I'm having a pretty good time.

651
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,320
I'm like three episodes in or something.

652
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:44,320
Nice.

653
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:45,320
Yeah.

654
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:46,320
Um,

655
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,320
it's the only like,

656
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,320
really it's like comedy first.

657
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:54,320
It's only series that I own.

658
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:55,320
That is like,

659
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,320
around that.

660
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:58,320
Um,

661
00:23:58,320 --> 00:23:59,320
that was a huge cast.

662
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:00,320
Like,

663
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:03,320
I don't know if there's been a series of more rivals introduced

664
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:04,320
than this one.

665
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:05,320
Like,

666
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:06,320
they just,

667
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:07,320
so many characters get thrown in.

668
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:08,320
Uh,

669
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,320
there's like 32 volumes.

670
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:11,320
Uh,

671
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,320
but there's like fun stuff like,

672
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,320
just like,

673
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:17,320
I really like that.

674
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:18,320
Yeah.

675
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:19,320
So it's like,

676
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:20,320
I'm like,

677
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,320
I've never had a show like this before.

678
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:23,320
Um,

679
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:24,320
I've never had a show like this before.

680
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:25,320
It's,

681
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:26,320
it's just like,

682
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:27,320
I've never had a show like this before.

683
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:28,320
Yeah.

684
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:29,320
I've never had a show like this before.

685
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:30,320
Um,

686
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,320
I was really excited for yoga and shampoo.

687
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:33,320
Have you ever met yet?

688
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:34,320
Um,

689
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:35,320
but yeah,

690
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:36,320
it is good.

691
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:37,320
So I hope you enjoy it.

692
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:38,320
Yeah.

693
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:39,320
So I'll keep watching that.

694
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,320
Otherwise I'm still going through Gundam wing.

695
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:46,400
All right. Well, all right.

696
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:48,440
I guess we should get this ball rolling

697
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:52,640
because I got to go for my freaking third wedding dress.

698
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,080
Expersion.

699
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:56,480
OK.

700
00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:58,880
All right.

701
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,000
Sorry. Sorry.

702
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:02,360
Make sure to cut that out.

703
00:25:02,360 --> 00:25:05,160
Mark that down. Right.

704
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,800
My sneeze is cute.

705
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:11,000
Um, all right. So Chiaya Furue,

706
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,000
I've learned a couple of things by paying attention.

707
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:15,960
Number one, they call the episode versus.

708
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:19,480
So I'm going to start calling them versus now like that makes sense.

709
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,240
Yeah. Yes.

710
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,360
But we'll start with with a voice actor talking about that.

711
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,720
We're going to talk about the voice actor for Tai Chi,

712
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,360
who is a repeat.

713
00:25:30,360 --> 00:25:32,200
We've had them before.

714
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:36,400
The voice actor for Tai Chi is Mamoru Miona Miano.

715
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:41,120
Sorry, who was the voice of Shofu and Skip beat the show we just watched.

716
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,720
It always plays the jerky characters.

717
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,600
He plays the jerky characters, but also, yeah,

718
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,000
I guess he does kind of play the jerky characters and a lot of stuff.

719
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,200
He has a thousand million credits

720
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,000
because his dude has done like a bunch of stuff and work.

721
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:59,480
You may know him as Light Yagami in Death Note, the main character.

722
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:04,200
He's also Kiba in Wolf's Rain, which you told me to watch.

723
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,200
Yeah, you saw it.

724
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:12,640
He is Ren Okabe in Steins Gate, the main character in that.

725
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,960
And for me, he is Riku in Kingdom Hearts.

726
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:19,440
Is that the white haired one?

727
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:21,440
Yeah, that's the like rival.

728
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:22,600
It's like you got you.

729
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:23,600
The Sasuke.

730
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:25,200
The Sasuke.

731
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,320
But better than Sasuke because he's an actually evil.

732
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,480
He's just he's just going through it.

733
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:31,880
Oh, Kingdom Hearts is good.

734
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:33,520
Did you play that?

735
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:37,400
You let me your PS2 once and I tried to play it.

736
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,000
I just could not get into it.

737
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:41,000
You know, it's OK.

738
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,120
I'm getting we got Jenny to play it and she hates it.

739
00:26:43,120 --> 00:26:45,400
She's she's having the worst time ever.

740
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:50,440
I just it was like, I didn't I tried it when I was a high school.

741
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,400
So I didn't have like that childhood fondness for it.

742
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:55,200
I'm not like especially

743
00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:01,440
I to Final Fantasy or Disney and I don't know, combat, whatever.

744
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:06,040
Or like I don't know, goofy having freaking goofy in your game.

745
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:07,040
It's it's rules.

746
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:08,640
Goofy should be in every game.

747
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:10,720
You just throw goofy as a party member.

748
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:14,520
Like if you could play Dragon Age and one of your party members is just goofy.

749
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:17,320
That would be that would be awesome.

750
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,200
Should be DLC for every single game.

751
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:27,720
All right, Gehia Furu, verse five is called the site of a midnight moon.

752
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,160
I'm trying to think of why that would be the game.

753
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,600
Yeah, please try to interpret what these mean.

754
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:34,760
I don't know.

755
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:38,160
Does Arata's name have like some double meaning?

756
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,440
This is the episode where they go see him.

757
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,000
So yeah, that's why I'm saying this.

758
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:49,640
Anyway, we open on Chihira and Tai Chi running on the running

759
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:51,440
onto the morning train together.

760
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,840
They're wearing their street clothes because they're on a trip to see Arata.

761
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:58,360
Tai Chi doesn't seem all that worried about him, but Chihira is extremely

762
00:27:58,360 --> 00:28:01,160
worried. She knows how his voice is different now.

763
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:07,040
And he has a Bakui accent, which is the region he's living in currently.

764
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,240
But if she doesn't go and see him now, she'll never see him again.

765
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,240
As a reminder, the end of last episode, she like called him to tell him

766
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,400
that she made class A and he was like, don't call me anymore.

767
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:17,840
I stopped playing.

768
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:18,840
Karuta.

769
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:21,840
Yeah, so angsty.

770
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:23,400
Yeah, so angsty.

771
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,840
On the train, Tai Chi speculates Arata just got a new hobby, and it's not

772
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,000
that big of a deal, but Chihira isn't having it.

773
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:40,040
He changes the subject to ask her if she likes anyone because he's worried

774
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:41,840
about love rivalries.

775
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:47,240
She says she tries to give Dr. Harada chocolate every Valentine's Day,

776
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,040
but he refuses because he's married.

777
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,440
Tai Chi says that it's not what he's talking about.

778
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:52,640
He means like actual love.

779
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:54,240
And she's like, well, what's love then?

780
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:58,240
And then he pauses and says it's when you don't enjoy being around each other.

781
00:28:58,240 --> 00:28:59,240
And Chihira is like, what?

782
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:02,240
You don't enjoy being around your girlfriend and Tai Chi deflects,

783
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:05,840
but he continues in a monologue that love is when nothing goes your way

784
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,640
and you're not having fun, but you want to be with him anyway,

785
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:10,840
because he is going through it.

786
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:14,840
I think that's the universal experience for love, my dude.

787
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,840
No, he's just describing what's happening to him right now.

788
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:19,240
Yeah.

789
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:23,240
He's got to kick the girlfriend to the curb, man.

790
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:24,640
This is eye control.

791
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:25,840
It's not great.

792
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,040
Again, not the best look for you, bud.

793
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:29,040
No.

794
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:30,640
She's also not going to be into you.

795
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:31,840
She knows you have a girlfriend.

796
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,640
Like this is your, this is a little self-sabotaging.

797
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:38,440
Tai Chi is so clearly in love with Chihira.

798
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:39,440
It's not even funny.

799
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:40,640
That's my next note.

800
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:44,640
He's frustrated and thinks this is a trip that's kind of a waste of time,

801
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:45,640
but keeps on going.

802
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,040
Anyway, they take a taxi to Arata's house.

803
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:51,840
Chihira almost chickens out from ringing the doorbell and tries to make Tai Chi do it,

804
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:55,040
but Tai Chi doesn't think that he had the best of relationship with Arata,

805
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,040
so he doesn't want to do it either.

806
00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:01,040
A schoolgirl sees Chihira and Arata standing in front of Arata's house

807
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,840
and tells him that she's their neighbor

808
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,640
and that he has a part-time job at the bookstore now.

809
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:10,040
So they rush over while bickering about it.

810
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,240
Chihira is better at running than Tai Chi,

811
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:14,240
even though she's a little bit of a loser.

812
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:17,240
Tai Chi is better at running than Tai Chi, even though she's wearing boots.

813
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:21,240
Well, she was in track and her running form is really good,

814
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:24,240
because she has her arms going to the side,

815
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:25,240
popping wears.

816
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:28,240
Freaking Tai Chi is almost doing the anime girl run,

817
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:33,240
where his arms are going side to side and sloppy running form.

818
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:36,240
Tai Chi cannot run for shit.

819
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:41,240
He tells her to stop running because she's just going to chicken out approaching him anyway.

820
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:47,240
She stops and looks up at the cherry blossoms because they're running through like a trail.

821
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,240
It's like very scenic.

822
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:51,240
A road with trees over our trees.

823
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:55,240
A road with trees, but it's not for cars.

824
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,240
The walking path.

825
00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:00,240
She asks if she really wants to see Arata,

826
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,240
and Tai Chi says he doesn't really care either way,

827
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,240
and they can just go home if she wants.

828
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:05,240
We can just leave.

829
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,240
They walk next to each other and we have several shots of their hands slaying

830
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:13,240
as Tai Chi decides if he's going to try to hold her hand before they see his love rival.

831
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:16,240
He almost goes for it when a guy on a bicycle rides past.

832
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,240
She hire notices that it's Arata and runs after him,

833
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:23,240
pulling him off the bike very dangerously.

834
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:27,240
They both tumble down a hill and Arata ends up on top of Chihaya.

835
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:31,240
Arata takes a moment to recognize her and only does when Tai Chi calls out to her.

836
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,240
Chihaya cries saying that she missed him.

837
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:37,240
She's so pretty and he is blown away by her beauty.

838
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,240
She's so pretty.

839
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,240
They both fell down a hill.

840
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:42,240
He landed on top of her.

841
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:46,240
How the tables turn from Tai Chi trying to hold her hand to Arata being on top of her.

842
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:47,240
Yeah.

843
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:48,240
Oh, man.

844
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:49,240
They go to Arata's house.

845
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:50,240
Dangerous.

846
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:51,240
Yeah.

847
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:56,240
Chihaya has to take a bath because she got covered in dirt while falling down that hill.

848
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:59,240
The next door neighbor girl, Yu, her name is Yu,

849
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:02,240
helped them out and Tai Chi offers her some sweets as a thank you.

850
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:06,240
She seems somewhat off put and rushes home.

851
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:10,240
Tai Chi and Arata both catch up and sighs each other up at the same time.

852
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:14,240
Chihaya comes in and starts talking about her underwear with Tai Chi.

853
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:16,240
I don't know why this happens.

854
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,240
Arata's not having it.

855
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:24,240
It just kind of shows how like she hasn't matured because she's still kind of panty like a little girl and

856
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:28,240
like not aware that she shouldn't be discussing those things in front of dudes.

857
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:29,240
Yes.

858
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:32,240
She does not have boundaries with Tai Chi, which is bad news for everybody.

859
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:33,240
Yeah.

860
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,240
Yep.

861
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:38,240
Arata's not having it and tells him to leave as soon as her clothes dry.

862
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,240
Tai Chi is like, whatever, we'll just leave.

863
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,240
But Chihaya insists on reading a letter she wrote to Arata.

864
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:48,240
She gets it from her bag and she sees like a stack of Karuta cards that she brought with her.

865
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:49,240
I have a note here.

866
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:53,240
This is Arata like tells him to leave, but he also brought out tea for everybody.

867
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:54,240
So like what's going on, man?

868
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:59,240
I think it's just like the obligation or expectation that you have tea for guests,

869
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:03,240
even if you don't necessarily want them there.

870
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:04,240
Yeah, which is weird.

871
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:05,240
Just be mean.

872
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:06,240
Whatever.

873
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:09,240
You're telling me to like fuck off forever and stop talking to you.

874
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:10,240
You don't need to bring the tea.

875
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,240
It only made two cups of tea.

876
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:13,240
It only made two cups.

877
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:14,240
Who are those for?

878
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,240
Him and Tai Chi?

879
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:17,240
What's happening?

880
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:19,240
Maybe because she was still on the bath.

881
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:20,240
Maybe.

882
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:21,240
Yeah.

883
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:22,240
Weird.

884
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:27,240
She pulls out the Karuta cards and says that the three of them should play.

885
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,240
She walks over to a side room to like set up the game.

886
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:33,240
Arata doesn't react and Tai Chi thinks that this is a bad idea.

887
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:37,240
Chi Hira talks about how much she loves Karuta and how much they used to love

888
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:39,240
Karuta growing up while setting up the board.

889
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:42,240
Arata walks over and kicks the cards.

890
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:45,240
He tersely tells her that he can't play anymore.

891
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:49,240
She turns to see that the room she's in is actually a family shrine to his now

892
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:50,240
departed grandfather.

893
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:51,240
So he died.

894
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:52,240
Eternal master.

895
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,240
That's right.

896
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:55,240
The big shot.

897
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,240
Tai Chi rushes over and shoves Arata.

898
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:01,240
He tells Chi Hira that they're leaving and that Arata isn't the same anymore and

899
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:05,240
then drags her out telling Arata that they're not coming back.

900
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:10,240
Tai Chi tries to drag Chi Hira off, but she tries to like get away as they're like

901
00:34:10,240 --> 00:34:12,240
walking back down the trail.

902
00:34:12,240 --> 00:34:17,240
She breaks free and starts to head back, but sees an upset you running at them

903
00:34:17,240 --> 00:34:21,240
and shoves and she shoves the Karuta cards at her saying that they can't leave those

904
00:34:21,240 --> 00:34:22,240
there.

905
00:34:22,240 --> 00:34:23,240
Like you got to take the cards.

906
00:34:23,240 --> 00:34:27,240
You can't leave the cards with Arata, which means that you came back at some point,

907
00:34:27,240 --> 00:34:28,240
which is wild.

908
00:34:28,240 --> 00:34:29,240
She is the neighbor.

909
00:34:29,240 --> 00:34:31,240
She is a neighbor.

910
00:34:31,240 --> 00:34:37,240
So she could have heard them like storm off or something and then gone to check on Arata.

911
00:34:37,240 --> 00:34:38,240
Maybe.

912
00:34:38,240 --> 00:34:39,240
Perhap.

913
00:34:39,240 --> 00:34:45,240
Chi Hira picks up the cards out of a puddle and explains how Karuta gave her life meaning.

914
00:34:45,240 --> 00:34:50,240
She asks you why Arata quit and you explains that four years ago his grandfather had a

915
00:34:50,240 --> 00:34:51,240
stroke.

916
00:34:51,240 --> 00:34:53,240
So Arata had to come back and take care of him.

917
00:34:53,240 --> 00:34:56,240
That's why he, you know, had to leave after elementary school.

918
00:34:56,240 --> 00:35:01,240
But one day when Arata had gone or was gone, his grandfather had a relapse and died.

919
00:35:01,240 --> 00:35:05,240
He would have normally been there to take care of him that day, but at that time he was at

920
00:35:05,240 --> 00:35:10,240
a Karuta tournament getting his class a rank and ever since then he hasn't played.

921
00:35:10,240 --> 00:35:15,240
We got a flashback between young Arata and his grandfather where his grandfather explains

922
00:35:15,240 --> 00:35:20,240
that the secret of his Karuta playing is that a Karuta God whispers to him while he plays.

923
00:35:20,240 --> 00:35:22,240
We jump back to Arata in the present day.

924
00:35:22,240 --> 00:35:26,240
He sees the envelope that Chi Hira, that Chi Hira's letter was in, but she never got to

925
00:35:26,240 --> 00:35:27,240
like read.

926
00:35:27,240 --> 00:35:31,240
He picks it up and a bunch of notes fall out with questions and reminders about meeting

927
00:35:31,240 --> 00:35:36,240
Arata like get his cell phone number and also take a picture of him for Dr. Arata.

928
00:35:36,240 --> 00:35:38,240
He takes out the actual letter.

929
00:35:38,240 --> 00:35:42,240
It says that Chi Hira thinks of Arata as a Karuta God and Arata says that he is no God.

930
00:35:42,240 --> 00:35:44,240
He just wanted to play with their friend, with his friends.

931
00:35:44,240 --> 00:35:47,240
We got the Tai Chi and Chi Hira on the train.

932
00:35:47,240 --> 00:35:50,240
Chi Hira is depressed and says that she never should have come.

933
00:35:50,240 --> 00:35:54,240
Then she hears something and looks out the window and she sees Arata riding his bike alongside

934
00:35:54,240 --> 00:35:55,240
the train.

935
00:35:55,240 --> 00:35:58,240
He calls out to them and they bang on the window.

936
00:35:58,240 --> 00:36:02,240
He thinks to himself that he didn't want them to see what he had become, but in reality

937
00:36:02,240 --> 00:36:04,240
he had really missed them.

938
00:36:04,240 --> 00:36:06,240
The train pulls away because it's a train.

939
00:36:06,240 --> 00:36:10,240
Chi Hira collapses and cries, thinking that it's so good that he doesn't hate them.

940
00:36:10,240 --> 00:36:12,240
Tai Chi is like, come on, we're in public.

941
00:36:12,240 --> 00:36:15,240
You need to like not cry on the seat of this train.

942
00:36:15,240 --> 00:36:19,240
He wonders if she's able to hear Arata somehow like through the train.

943
00:36:19,240 --> 00:36:21,240
Like how did you even know he was there?

944
00:36:21,240 --> 00:36:25,240
He looks at her and tells her that he'll help her start a club at school.

945
00:36:25,240 --> 00:36:30,240
At school we see a mysterious girl in full Kyoto gear, which is the Japanese archery thing

946
00:36:30,240 --> 00:36:32,240
with like the huge ass bow.

947
00:36:32,240 --> 00:36:36,240
Looking at the Karuta club poster as we cut to credits.

948
00:36:36,240 --> 00:36:38,240
Who are first?

949
00:36:38,240 --> 00:36:40,240
The T's.

950
00:36:40,240 --> 00:36:41,240
The T's.

951
00:36:41,240 --> 00:36:44,240
The T's are the newest member.

952
00:36:44,240 --> 00:36:52,240
They mentioned in the part where they're walking as April, so good to note that the time of year we're at right now.

953
00:36:52,240 --> 00:36:57,240
What do you think of, I feel like Arata is the only one who had anything distinct on his clothes.

954
00:36:57,240 --> 00:37:00,240
He had like a jacket that said ER.

955
00:37:00,240 --> 00:37:09,240
Arata has the best fashion sense, I feel like.

956
00:37:09,240 --> 00:37:11,240
It's just straightforward, I guess.

957
00:37:11,240 --> 00:37:15,240
It's straightforward, but I do like, I mean, you know, they're all weird.

958
00:37:15,240 --> 00:37:17,240
They all just have weird phrases on it.

959
00:37:17,240 --> 00:37:18,240
I think it's funny.

960
00:37:18,240 --> 00:37:20,240
Yeah.

961
00:37:20,240 --> 00:37:26,240
I feel like the voice actor, Arata especially, I don't know, the voice actor did a really good job

962
00:37:26,240 --> 00:37:29,240
of when he was on the bike and the yelling to the crying.

963
00:37:29,240 --> 00:37:30,240
Yeah.

964
00:37:30,240 --> 00:37:32,240
It sounded very authentic.

965
00:37:32,240 --> 00:37:36,240
There's a lot of saying words while you're like upset in this episode.

966
00:37:36,240 --> 00:37:37,240
That was good.

967
00:37:37,240 --> 00:37:39,240
Yeah.

968
00:37:39,240 --> 00:37:42,240
Yeah, I mean, it's nice, right?

969
00:37:42,240 --> 00:37:53,240
This kind of had a nice little mini resolution, at least where this didn't drag on and weigh on T-PIA for tons of episodes and stuff.

970
00:37:53,240 --> 00:37:54,240
Yeah.

971
00:37:54,240 --> 00:37:56,240
I mean, it's good that we get this addressed immediately.

972
00:37:56,240 --> 00:37:57,240
It's very funny, the last episode.

973
00:37:57,240 --> 00:38:00,240
I'm like, I wonder when we'll see him and you're like, ah, he's probably like a train right away.

974
00:38:00,240 --> 00:38:02,240
And then yes, he was a train right away.

975
00:38:02,240 --> 00:38:06,240
Yeah, so sweet.

976
00:38:06,240 --> 00:38:18,240
Now that you've seen Arata and T'aiichi as a older, who's cuter?

977
00:38:18,240 --> 00:38:20,240
Arata looks the same just as an adult.

978
00:38:20,240 --> 00:38:22,240
Arata looks the same, but taller.

979
00:38:22,240 --> 00:38:23,240
Yeah.

980
00:38:23,240 --> 00:38:25,240
T'aiichi looks different.

981
00:38:25,240 --> 00:38:29,240
T'aiichi looks taller than T'aiichi.

982
00:38:29,240 --> 00:38:35,240
Well, T'aiichi's like the pretty boy and Arata's more just the, I mean, I know who's personality.

983
00:38:35,240 --> 00:38:38,240
I'm liking a little bit better, I guess.

984
00:38:38,240 --> 00:38:40,240
They both kind of suck actually.

985
00:38:40,240 --> 00:38:44,240
It's like Arata, he's going through it.

986
00:38:44,240 --> 00:38:45,240
It's fine.

987
00:38:45,240 --> 00:38:49,240
Although, but like his neighbor, Yu does seem like kind of scared of him.

988
00:38:49,240 --> 00:38:51,240
I mean, he's a little emo boy.

989
00:38:51,240 --> 00:38:55,240
He's a little emo, but he's not, he's not like being emo.

990
00:38:55,240 --> 00:38:56,240
You know what I mean?

991
00:38:56,240 --> 00:39:01,240
He just like has the emotions of an emo, but without any aesthetics of it, right?

992
00:39:01,240 --> 00:39:03,240
I don't know.

993
00:39:03,240 --> 00:39:07,240
Maybe she's just, I was like, maybe she has a crush on him or something.

994
00:39:07,240 --> 00:39:10,240
Well, I mean, she's like, it feels like she's taking care of him.

995
00:39:10,240 --> 00:39:12,240
Like he's like suicidal or something.

996
00:39:12,240 --> 00:39:13,240
You know what I mean?

997
00:39:13,240 --> 00:39:16,240
Like it seems like she's doing like wellness checks on him.

998
00:39:16,240 --> 00:39:24,240
It could be like her mom asked her, oh, that poor Arata boy, keep an eye out on him.

999
00:39:24,240 --> 00:39:26,240
Won't you dear or something?

1000
00:39:26,240 --> 00:39:27,240
Like that maybe.

1001
00:39:27,240 --> 00:39:32,240
Or small community, small town community just take care of each other kind of.

1002
00:39:32,240 --> 00:39:33,240
Yeah.

1003
00:39:33,240 --> 00:39:34,240
Perhaps.

1004
00:39:34,240 --> 00:39:37,240
We don't, we haven't got anything about his like immediate family situation,

1005
00:39:37,240 --> 00:39:38,240
like his parents, right?

1006
00:39:38,240 --> 00:39:39,240
Yeah.

1007
00:39:39,240 --> 00:39:45,240
Was the implication that like if he was there, his grandfather wouldn't have died?

1008
00:39:45,240 --> 00:39:49,240
No, I think just like he missed out on the chance to say goodbye to him.

1009
00:39:49,240 --> 00:39:50,240
Okay.

1010
00:39:50,240 --> 00:39:56,240
Or like when it was his grandfather was in dire straits that he wasn't there to.

1011
00:39:56,240 --> 00:40:02,240
They say it in a way that makes it sound like that could be the case, but then it's also like,

1012
00:40:02,240 --> 00:40:03,240
but he had a second stroke.

1013
00:40:03,240 --> 00:40:05,240
You can't stop somebody from having a stroke.

1014
00:40:05,240 --> 00:40:06,240
You know what I mean?

1015
00:40:06,240 --> 00:40:07,240
It's not even you could do.

1016
00:40:07,240 --> 00:40:08,240
No.

1017
00:40:08,240 --> 00:40:09,240
So.

1018
00:40:09,240 --> 00:40:10,240
Interesting.

1019
00:40:10,240 --> 00:40:11,240
Yeah.

1020
00:40:11,240 --> 00:40:13,240
Good episode, I think.

1021
00:40:13,240 --> 00:40:14,240
Yeah.

1022
00:40:14,240 --> 00:40:17,240
Like this one felt like a lot happened in it.

1023
00:40:17,240 --> 00:40:18,240
Really size.

1024
00:40:18,240 --> 00:40:19,240
Yes.

1025
00:40:19,240 --> 00:40:20,240
Yeah.

1026
00:40:20,240 --> 00:40:23,240
Well, it's nice to get this payoff right after the three episodes of the show.

1027
00:40:23,240 --> 00:40:26,240
Yeah.

1028
00:40:26,240 --> 00:40:27,240
Yeah.

1029
00:40:27,240 --> 00:40:28,240
Yeah.

1030
00:40:28,240 --> 00:40:29,240
Yeah.

1031
00:40:29,240 --> 00:40:30,240
That feels pretty good.

1032
00:40:30,240 --> 00:40:34,240
How do we feel about a tight G being hope we'll say in love with Chiaya?

1033
00:40:34,240 --> 00:40:39,240
I mean, nothing's changed since she was a kid, I guess.

1034
00:40:39,240 --> 00:40:42,240
It's not, it's not happening, dude.

1035
00:40:42,240 --> 00:40:48,240
Like she's not really fixated on Arana.

1036
00:40:48,240 --> 00:40:49,240
Yes.

1037
00:40:49,240 --> 00:40:53,240
But like, I don't even know if she's fixated on Arana in that kind of way.

1038
00:40:53,240 --> 00:40:56,240
Anyway, I think it's going to be the worst of all worlds for him,

1039
00:40:56,240 --> 00:41:00,240
which is like, you think of Arana as your love rival, but he's not even that.

1040
00:41:00,240 --> 00:41:01,240
Yeah.

1041
00:41:01,240 --> 00:41:09,240
Well, you can't have a love rival with someone over someone who's not your

1042
00:41:09,240 --> 00:41:11,240
freaking girlfriend.

1043
00:41:11,240 --> 00:41:13,240
Break up with your girlfriend, dude.

1044
00:41:13,240 --> 00:41:14,240
My God.

1045
00:41:14,240 --> 00:41:15,240
Yeah.

1046
00:41:15,240 --> 00:41:16,240
Break up with it.

1047
00:41:16,240 --> 00:41:18,240
I mean, I guess it's been like one day, right?

1048
00:41:18,240 --> 00:41:19,240
Yeah.

1049
00:41:19,240 --> 00:41:22,240
There hasn't been like a ton of time.

1050
00:41:22,240 --> 00:41:23,240
No.

1051
00:41:23,240 --> 00:41:27,240
Shall we get into versus first?

1052
00:41:27,240 --> 00:41:28,240
Yeah.

1053
00:41:28,240 --> 00:41:31,240
This is, we're like immediately pivoting to something else.

1054
00:41:31,240 --> 00:41:35,240
So this is kind of the end of the Arana talk for the most part.

1055
00:41:35,240 --> 00:41:36,240
Yeah.

1056
00:41:36,240 --> 00:41:40,240
You know, you should like talk about his feelings instead of keeping them all

1057
00:41:40,240 --> 00:41:41,240
bottled up all the time.

1058
00:41:41,240 --> 00:41:43,240
Always been his problem.

1059
00:41:43,240 --> 00:41:48,240
But also I'm like the least convinced that Arana and Tai Chi were ever

1060
00:41:48,240 --> 00:41:49,240
actually friends.

1061
00:41:49,240 --> 00:41:51,240
Like they just played a game together.

1062
00:41:51,240 --> 00:41:52,240
They were like teammates.

1063
00:41:52,240 --> 00:41:54,240
Both into Chi Haya.

1064
00:41:54,240 --> 00:41:56,240
So they just happen to be around each other.

1065
00:41:56,240 --> 00:42:00,240
Chi Haya is like going to get a rude awakening at some point and

1066
00:42:00,240 --> 00:42:04,240
realizing that she doesn't understand the social dynamic that she's in.

1067
00:42:04,240 --> 00:42:06,240
She got her sand.

1068
00:42:06,240 --> 00:42:08,240
It's tough.

1069
00:42:08,240 --> 00:42:10,240
Have guy friends.

1070
00:42:10,240 --> 00:42:11,240
Yeah.

1071
00:42:11,240 --> 00:42:14,240
The only one who's truly the friend of everybody is Dr.

1072
00:42:14,240 --> 00:42:15,240
Harada.

1073
00:42:15,240 --> 00:42:16,240
Yeah.

1074
00:42:16,240 --> 00:42:19,240
Who's like a picture of Arana for me.

1075
00:42:19,240 --> 00:42:22,240
Also don't give me chocolate.

1076
00:42:22,240 --> 00:42:23,240
I have a wife.

1077
00:42:23,240 --> 00:42:24,240
Yes.

1078
00:42:24,240 --> 00:42:25,240
Yes.

1079
00:42:25,240 --> 00:42:26,240
So good.

1080
00:42:26,240 --> 00:42:27,240
Very good.

1081
00:42:27,240 --> 00:42:28,240
All right.

1082
00:42:28,240 --> 00:42:30,240
Verse six time.

1083
00:42:30,240 --> 00:42:34,240
Verse six is called now bloom inside the nine fold palace.

1084
00:42:34,240 --> 00:42:38,240
And this is where I decided that these are meaningless titles.

1085
00:42:38,240 --> 00:42:41,240
I was saying that's a reference to one of the poem.

1086
00:42:41,240 --> 00:42:42,240
Yeah.

1087
00:42:42,240 --> 00:42:45,240
That's like how often do like folding.

1088
00:42:45,240 --> 00:42:48,240
Folding dividers.

1089
00:42:48,240 --> 00:42:50,240
That makes sense.

1090
00:42:50,240 --> 00:42:52,240
That's probably what it is.

1091
00:42:52,240 --> 00:42:53,240
That would make sense.

1092
00:42:53,240 --> 00:42:54,240
Yeah.

1093
00:42:54,240 --> 00:42:55,240
They're all like the first line.

1094
00:42:55,240 --> 00:42:56,240
Yeah.

1095
00:42:56,240 --> 00:42:57,240
Something.

1096
00:42:57,240 --> 00:42:58,240
We should look at it.

1097
00:42:58,240 --> 00:43:00,240
But I'm not going to.

1098
00:43:00,240 --> 00:43:01,240
Look at your cards.

1099
00:43:01,240 --> 00:43:04,240
Look at your card of cards and see if they.

1100
00:43:04,240 --> 00:43:06,240
Start with those.

1101
00:43:06,240 --> 00:43:08,240
You're not going to do it.

1102
00:43:08,240 --> 00:43:09,240
Yes, I am.

1103
00:43:09,240 --> 00:43:10,240
Get to it.

1104
00:43:10,240 --> 00:43:11,240
Verse six.

1105
00:43:11,240 --> 00:43:12,240
Verse six.

1106
00:43:12,240 --> 00:43:17,240
We open on Chi Hai and Tai Chi carrying a Tommy Tommy.

1107
00:43:17,240 --> 00:43:21,240
It's Tata me Matt up a big ass hill while the students watch.

1108
00:43:21,240 --> 00:43:25,240
If you don't know a Tata me Matt is like a soft mat that's used

1109
00:43:25,240 --> 00:43:26,240
as like flooring.

1110
00:43:26,240 --> 00:43:27,240
It's what they play on.

1111
00:43:27,240 --> 00:43:31,240
So like you can be on like your knees on it and it doesn't hurt

1112
00:43:31,240 --> 00:43:34,240
because it's like a soft padded boring.

1113
00:43:34,240 --> 00:43:36,240
The Q-Doh club passes.

1114
00:43:36,240 --> 00:43:39,240
That's the Japanese archery club and they comment that one of

1115
00:43:39,240 --> 00:43:40,240
their members is missing.

1116
00:43:40,240 --> 00:43:43,240
Her name is Oe and she skipped today.

1117
00:43:43,240 --> 00:43:47,240
We see her in the storehouse reciting a poem as the OP plays.

1118
00:43:47,240 --> 00:43:50,240
Tai Chi and Chi Hai make it to their destination, which is one

1119
00:43:50,240 --> 00:43:52,240
of the store rooms in a separate building.

1120
00:43:52,240 --> 00:43:55,240
Chi Hai says that they need three more members to make a club

1121
00:43:55,240 --> 00:43:58,240
and Tai Chi is not confident they're going to be able to find those.

1122
00:43:58,240 --> 00:44:02,240
They leave to bring over more Tata me Matt's they want to have like

1123
00:44:02,240 --> 00:44:04,240
something we cut the Oe.

1124
00:44:04,240 --> 00:44:07,240
We learned that she doesn't really like Kyoto all that much and

1125
00:44:07,240 --> 00:44:09,240
she just likes the uniforms where they're wearing like the old

1126
00:44:09,240 --> 00:44:10,240
style clothing.

1127
00:44:10,240 --> 00:44:14,240
She sees that she sees the Karuna club flyer and things that she

1128
00:44:14,240 --> 00:44:18,240
hire must be very pretty because her sister is you know a famous

1129
00:44:18,240 --> 00:44:20,240
model and that this game is old.

1130
00:44:20,240 --> 00:44:23,240
So maybe they can be like fancy ladies together.

1131
00:44:23,240 --> 00:44:25,240
She checks out the storehouse where the club is.

1132
00:44:25,240 --> 00:44:28,240
She's nervous to go in and here is the tape recording of the

1133
00:44:28,240 --> 00:44:33,240
poems. So she goes and looks through a window and sees Chi Hai

1134
00:44:33,240 --> 00:44:35,240
and Tai Chi playing Karuta.

1135
00:44:35,240 --> 00:44:38,240
She's surprised to learn that Karuta is like that because I don't

1136
00:44:38,240 --> 00:44:40,240
think she's actually familiar with this game at all.

1137
00:44:40,240 --> 00:44:42,240
Chi Hai and Tai Chi finish their game.

1138
00:44:42,240 --> 00:44:45,240
Tai Chi is still shaking off the rust and loses but he notes that

1139
00:44:45,240 --> 00:44:48,240
Chi Hai relies on her ears too much because she's not good at

1140
00:44:48,240 --> 00:44:49,240
memorizing the card positions.

1141
00:44:49,240 --> 00:44:52,240
So like where they start at the very beginning of the game.

1142
00:44:52,240 --> 00:44:56,240
They notice they notice Oe outside and Chi Hai is way too excited to

1143
00:44:56,240 --> 00:44:58,240
greet her and she like runs away.

1144
00:44:58,240 --> 00:45:02,240
So Chi Hai like chases after Oe and like runs her down.

1145
00:45:02,240 --> 00:45:06,240
She asks Oe if she likes Karuta and Oe says yes.

1146
00:45:06,240 --> 00:45:09,240
Then she proceeds to give a detailed account of the history of

1147
00:45:09,240 --> 00:45:15,240
Karuta poems like their authors and you know like which

1148
00:45:15,240 --> 00:45:18,240
authors were from which eras because she really likes the

1149
00:45:18,240 --> 00:45:21,240
history and the poetry aspects of Karuta.

1150
00:45:21,240 --> 00:45:23,240
Chi Hai is like yeah that's cool but like do you like the game

1151
00:45:23,240 --> 00:45:28,240
though and Oe asks if they get to wear Pakama which is like the

1152
00:45:28,240 --> 00:45:31,240
big flowy pants you wear over a kimono.

1153
00:45:31,240 --> 00:45:35,240
Like it's you know they wear that in archery thing and Chi Hai

1154
00:45:35,240 --> 00:45:38,240
is like what no we don't wear any special clothes playing this

1155
00:45:38,240 --> 00:45:39,240
game.

1156
00:45:41,240 --> 00:45:43,240
Oe is frustrated because yeah.

1157
00:45:43,240 --> 00:45:47,240
Sorry I was like oh I should give Joe a break.

1158
00:45:47,240 --> 00:45:49,240
No it's okay.

1159
00:45:49,240 --> 00:45:57,240
Okay did not see any cards or whatever but I mean I like that

1160
00:45:57,240 --> 00:46:00,240
it's like a different you know showing that there's different

1161
00:46:00,240 --> 00:46:04,240
ways to enjoy Karuta you know it doesn't have to be super

1162
00:46:04,240 --> 00:46:06,240
competitive like that you know.

1163
00:46:06,240 --> 00:46:09,240
Yeah well this is funny because it's like this is the part of

1164
00:46:09,240 --> 00:46:13,240
the game like it's a game about like poetry technically but

1165
00:46:13,240 --> 00:46:16,240
like you could swap it in for anything right like these could

1166
00:46:16,240 --> 00:46:19,240
just be any phrases you remember so unless you like actually

1167
00:46:19,240 --> 00:46:22,240
care about the poetry it kind of doesn't really have that much

1168
00:46:22,240 --> 00:46:24,240
to do with Karuta so it's very funny to see somebody who cares

1169
00:46:24,240 --> 00:46:28,240
about the like history and poetry of it not the actual

1170
00:46:28,240 --> 00:46:33,240
gameplay which I think is funny but I'll have more to say about

1171
00:46:33,240 --> 00:46:35,240
that later.

1172
00:46:35,240 --> 00:46:40,240
Oe is frustrated because archery and kendo club get to wear the

1173
00:46:40,240 --> 00:46:43,240
Pakama so why don't they.

1174
00:46:43,240 --> 00:46:46,240
Tachi Shihaya says that they're expensive and hard to wear.

1175
00:46:46,240 --> 00:46:48,240
Oe cries and explains that her family owes the traditional

1176
00:46:48,240 --> 00:46:51,240
clothing stops so she's like super into clothes but they

1177
00:46:51,240 --> 00:46:54,240
don't get business for like the nicer clothing because people

1178
00:46:54,240 --> 00:46:56,240
only want cheap stuff.

1179
00:46:56,240 --> 00:46:58,240
She eventually calms down and says that if she can't wear a

1180
00:46:58,240 --> 00:47:00,240
haka mother she isn't going to join.

1181
00:47:00,240 --> 00:47:03,240
Tachi comments that she doesn't really seem it into the game so

1182
00:47:03,240 --> 00:47:05,240
she probably wasn't that cut out to be in it anyway but

1183
00:47:05,240 --> 00:47:07,240
Shihaya has some different ideas.

1184
00:47:07,240 --> 00:47:09,240
Shihaya ambushes Oe in the library.

1185
00:47:09,240 --> 00:47:12,240
We learned that Oe's first name is Kana so I'm just going to

1186
00:47:12,240 --> 00:47:14,240
call her that from now on.

1187
00:47:14,240 --> 00:47:17,240
Shihaya invites her to play kata Bakana insists that she isn't

1188
00:47:17,240 --> 00:47:20,240
interested in the sport only the poems.

1189
00:47:20,240 --> 00:47:22,240
Shihaya tries again but Kana rejects her.

1190
00:47:22,240 --> 00:47:25,240
Tachi has to tell Shihaya to stop pushing so hard since she's

1191
00:47:25,240 --> 00:47:28,240
like not going to be into it if you just keep asking her.

1192
00:47:28,240 --> 00:47:30,240
We cut to Kana at her family's clothing shop.

1193
00:47:30,240 --> 00:47:33,240
Her mom steps out leaving her to watch the place alone.

1194
00:47:33,240 --> 00:47:36,240
She looks at an ornate kimono that they have on display.

1195
00:47:36,240 --> 00:47:39,240
When Shihaya walks in and compliments the kimono.

1196
00:47:39,240 --> 00:47:42,240
She recites that Shihaya Furu poem and says that it's about

1197
00:47:42,240 --> 00:47:45,240
a beautiful river.

1198
00:47:45,240 --> 00:47:48,240
Just like there's a river on the fabric design of the kimono

1199
00:47:48,240 --> 00:47:51,240
they're looking at because that song is about scenery.

1200
00:47:51,240 --> 00:47:54,240
Kana comments that classical poetry is interesting when you know

1201
00:47:54,240 --> 00:47:56,240
the context behind it.

1202
00:47:56,240 --> 00:47:59,240
She says that she thinks that Shihaya Furu poem is about

1203
00:47:59,240 --> 00:48:02,240
love and then explains how the poet wrote the poem for a lover

1204
00:48:02,240 --> 00:48:05,240
that he couldn't be with since she was a betrothed to the emperor.

1205
00:48:05,240 --> 00:48:08,240
Which means he had to conceal his love for her in the guise

1206
00:48:08,240 --> 00:48:10,240
of scenic language.

1207
00:48:10,240 --> 00:48:13,240
Kana then says that Shihaya Furu means impassionate as a

1208
00:48:13,240 --> 00:48:16,240
decorative word for gods that implies great force.

1209
00:48:16,240 --> 00:48:19,240
Then she basically walks through the entire poem line by line

1210
00:48:19,240 --> 00:48:22,240
explaining the hidden meaning behind all of the words.

1211
00:48:22,240 --> 00:48:26,240
Shihaya is blown away by poetry and asks Kana to do that again

1212
00:48:26,240 --> 00:48:29,240
for all 100 poems.

1213
00:48:29,240 --> 00:48:32,240
Yikes.

1214
00:48:32,240 --> 00:48:36,240
Kana is into it though and starts going through some of the juicy details

1215
00:48:36,240 --> 00:48:39,240
behind the poems like how some of them are attributed to authors

1216
00:48:39,240 --> 00:48:42,240
even though everybody thinks they were like shadow written by someone else

1217
00:48:42,240 --> 00:48:44,240
stuff like that.

1218
00:48:44,240 --> 00:48:47,240
And other historical context that makes the poems make more sense.

1219
00:48:47,240 --> 00:48:50,240
Kana and Shihaya have a blast talking about poetry.

1220
00:48:50,240 --> 00:48:54,240
Later that evening Kana thinks about how Shihaya was the first person

1221
00:48:54,240 --> 00:48:56,240
to take actual interest in her love of history.

1222
00:48:56,240 --> 00:48:59,240
We cut to Shihaya and Taichi playing Karuta.

1223
00:48:59,240 --> 00:49:02,240
Shihaya can now look at the poems in a new way and has refreshed

1224
00:49:02,240 --> 00:49:04,240
her interest in the game.

1225
00:49:04,240 --> 00:49:06,240
Kana outside and goes to see her.

1226
00:49:06,240 --> 00:49:08,240
Kana says that she'll join on one condition.

1227
00:49:08,240 --> 00:49:12,240
We cut to Shihaya doing a promotional photo shoot for Kana's family's

1228
00:49:12,240 --> 00:49:15,240
product catalog.

1229
00:49:15,240 --> 00:49:17,240
We jump back to school and Kana says that they need to wear

1230
00:49:17,240 --> 00:49:20,240
Hakama during matches and that's her condition for joining.

1231
00:49:20,240 --> 00:49:23,240
Also she wants them to clean up the club room so they can like

1232
00:49:23,240 --> 00:49:27,240
have space to do things so they all get to work clearing out the storehouse.

1233
00:49:27,240 --> 00:49:30,240
Taichi starts teaching Kana how to play the game and we get a quick

1234
00:49:30,240 --> 00:49:33,240
scene of Arata before we cut to credits.

1235
00:49:33,240 --> 00:49:35,240
Kana and Taichi playing Pajama.

1236
00:49:35,240 --> 00:49:38,240
What is the information on Karata with Karuta cards?

1237
00:49:38,240 --> 00:49:40,240
He's got inches of weight back into it.

1238
00:49:40,240 --> 00:49:44,240
I don't know what the duration of time between when he stopped

1239
00:49:44,240 --> 00:49:46,240
playing and now is.

1240
00:49:46,240 --> 00:49:49,240
I don't know how often that is.

1241
00:49:49,240 --> 00:49:51,240
Oh yeah, Kana.

1242
00:49:51,240 --> 00:49:53,240
Kana is great.

1243
00:49:53,240 --> 00:49:54,240
I love her.

1244
00:49:54,240 --> 00:49:57,240
Yeah.

1245
00:49:57,240 --> 00:49:58,240
I mean, I think her full name is...

1246
00:49:58,240 --> 00:50:00,240
It might be Kana.

1247
00:50:00,240 --> 00:50:05,320
Full name is it might be Kanade, but kind of for short.

1248
00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:10,480
But yeah, I mean, I mean, my sister, when we were in Japan,

1249
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:14,240
we did the whole she were come out and I wore a comma.

1250
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:19,840
So it is like the big flurry pants, which I found I thought would be more

1251
00:50:19,840 --> 00:50:24,000
comfortable to wear and they're really cool.

1252
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:30,080
It's fun to like, because you get to pick like the sleeve part and then

1253
00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:34,640
like the OB, which is the bell and then like the fabric that's under that and

1254
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:37,760
the pants. So it's like fun to because you kind of like

1255
00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:41,160
pick which parts you want to go together.

1256
00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:44,760
It's not like the common set of individual pieces that you assemble,

1257
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:47,840
but whatever color coordinated patterns you want.

1258
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:49,560
So it's really fun to pick those out.

1259
00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:54,040
And yeah, so we just rented them.

1260
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:58,640
I could see most people not owning those because they wouldn't have

1261
00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:01,040
need for them for the most part.

1262
00:51:01,040 --> 00:51:06,880
So I could see the shop struggling a bit if you're not in a touristy kind of place.

1263
00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:10,280
Yeah, this would be like equivalent to like getting a.

1264
00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:15,360
Like a tuxedo or like a suit for like a prom or something right, where it's like

1265
00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:17,640
you probably could just rent that because you're only going to need a

1266
00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:20,640
dress five times in your life or whatever.

1267
00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:22,760
Yeah, yep.

1268
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:25,120
So yeah, that makes a lot of sense.

1269
00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:28,400
I love kind of like she's a little nerd.

1270
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:32,080
I like that she's like into history and likes

1271
00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:36,760
Carter from like the history perspective and like the poetry perspective

1272
00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:40,200
as opposed to like the sport side, which everybody else has been so far.

1273
00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:41,320
Yeah.

1274
00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:44,640
Yeah, that's great.

1275
00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:48,560
This is the most like I think she's just straight up right about like

1276
00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:52,240
poetry is interesting if you learn about the context around it, because

1277
00:51:52,240 --> 00:51:57,200
most of the time, like especially in a lot of me growing up has been

1278
00:51:57,200 --> 00:52:01,480
realizing that if you get context for things, they're actually interesting.

1279
00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:03,920
We're most of the time if you're just told about them, they don't matter

1280
00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:05,480
that much, you know what I mean?

1281
00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:10,520
Like things like Shakespeare are a lot more interesting when you understand

1282
00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:14,160
like the context in which they're written in and like who the audience is for.

1283
00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:16,640
And what else is going on in the world at the time that they're written

1284
00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:18,480
in like what this is a reference to?

1285
00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:22,040
Then if you were just to like read it, which we kind of just did in high school.

1286
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:28,040
You should get because I have the like direct translated card that's set,

1287
00:52:28,240 --> 00:52:32,840
but they have like the English poet version is said where it is like Shakespeare

1288
00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:38,720
and all like what we would consider like classic poetry on the cards instead.

1289
00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:40,280
You should get that set.

1290
00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:41,280
Uh huh.

1291
00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:43,720
Yeah.

1292
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:44,920
It's great.

1293
00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:48,720
I think this is really fun.

1294
00:52:48,720 --> 00:52:53,880
I do like the like again, a lot of the ways in which I can enjoy things now

1295
00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:57,400
are like I need to dig deeper into a thing to understand what's going on,

1296
00:52:57,400 --> 00:53:00,040
because I can't just like enjoy the surface level thing of it anymore.

1297
00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:01,560
Yeah.

1298
00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:06,600
So kind of doing this and like teaching Chiaya that like the stuff is like

1299
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:07,880
stuff has meaning behind it.

1300
00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:11,720
If you understand why things are this way, it'll make you appreciate

1301
00:53:11,720 --> 00:53:16,280
like why we're playing a game about poetry as opposed to just like a poetry

1302
00:53:16,280 --> 00:53:18,560
being on the cards better of the game.

1303
00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:19,880
Yeah.

1304
00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:21,680
So this is very fun.

1305
00:53:21,680 --> 00:53:23,120
I think this is great.

1306
00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:24,160
I think it's great.

1307
00:53:24,160 --> 00:53:28,480
So now they have three members and then need five total to make a club.

1308
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:30,560
So we've got two more to recruit.

1309
00:53:31,240 --> 00:53:32,240
Right.

1310
00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:37,000
And yeah, each of them kind of has like a different relationship with

1311
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:38,760
the part, which is fun, right?

1312
00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:44,000
Tai Chi is much more like technical and like memorizing and Chiaya is more

1313
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:51,440
like just impulsive, but fast and kind of, you know, with the sentimental value.

1314
00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:53,320
And so we'll see what else we get.

1315
00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:59,400
Yeah, this is where we get the new folks that we're going to get more

1316
00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:03,840
of like an introduction to how the game works over time, because they'll

1317
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:07,080
be teaching these new folks how to play.

1318
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:10,720
Yeah, we haven't gotten as in depth on that end yet.

1319
00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:12,560
Right. Right.

1320
00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:12,840
Yeah.

1321
00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:15,760
Because I guess if I think about like what kind of players everybody is like

1322
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:19,440
Arata is full memorizing everything, really leaning into the fact

1323
00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:21,080
that he's really good at memorizing stuff.

1324
00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:26,280
That's his basic like tactic, whereas Chiaya is all about speed.

1325
00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:27,920
It's all about going real fast.

1326
00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:30,360
This is why she did track and the starter gun and all that stuff.

1327
00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:34,400
Tai Chi kind of seems like an all rounder. He's kind of just trying to do it all.

1328
00:54:34,560 --> 00:54:37,080
Balance. Yeah. He's like a more balanced player.

1329
00:54:37,280 --> 00:54:40,320
I don't know how the Kano is going to play.

1330
00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:43,520
She was just learning how to play at the end of the episode.

1331
00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:45,440
So tiny.

1332
00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:46,520
He's also very small.

1333
00:54:46,520 --> 00:54:47,520
Tiny. Yeah.

1334
00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:48,160
Very small girl.

1335
00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:50,160
Very cute. Yeah.

1336
00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:52,080
Yeah.

1337
00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:54,840
So I'll be interested to see like what her play style is.

1338
00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:58,760
I'm very interested in how her and Tai Chi will interact.

1339
00:54:58,760 --> 00:55:01,080
Are they going to get along? I don't know.

1340
00:55:01,080 --> 00:55:03,480
Oh, Kana and Tai Chi.

1341
00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:07,000
Yeah. Oh, because he was like dismissive of her reasons.

1342
00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:11,880
Well, it's like she can bond with Chiaya over the like history stuff

1343
00:55:11,880 --> 00:55:14,160
because Chiaya takes an interest in that.

1344
00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:16,760
I don't know if Tai Chi is going to take an interest in that.

1345
00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:21,120
Maybe he'll pretend to so that him and Chiaya can talk about more stuff together.

1346
00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:24,680
Yeah. Well, it's just interesting because like this his interest in Carda

1347
00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:27,880
has been so driven by his crush on Chiaya that like I don't know

1348
00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:30,800
how it would be him interacting with other people around it.

1349
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:33,400
Yeah. Mm hmm. We'll see.

1350
00:55:33,400 --> 00:55:37,200
So I'm looking forward to seeing how all the other people interact

1351
00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:39,280
with all the other people. Yeah.

1352
00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:44,480
I feel bad for Kana and all of her friends make fun of her for liking history.

1353
00:55:44,840 --> 00:55:47,520
Well, they're not really her friends, are they?

1354
00:55:47,520 --> 00:55:50,920
I guess not. Just former teammates.

1355
00:55:51,720 --> 00:55:52,760
Yeah. Her peers.

1356
00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:55,840
She's blamed for liking history, which is so wrong.

1357
00:55:55,840 --> 00:55:58,280
You know, history is cool, it turns out.

1358
00:55:58,280 --> 00:55:59,800
The problem is that you need a good hook.

1359
00:55:59,800 --> 00:56:02,000
This is the thing where like if it's presented to you,

1360
00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:04,880
so many things in my life were not presented to me in the right way.

1361
00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:06,080
And so I wasn't interested in them.

1362
00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:08,320
And then later on, they were presented to me in the right way.

1363
00:56:08,320 --> 00:56:10,080
And now I am interested in them.

1364
00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:13,040
Like the presentation of the thing.

1365
00:56:14,720 --> 00:56:18,600
Is like critical as to whether or not you're going to be interested in it or not.

1366
00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:23,000
Like Chiaya would never learn about history or poetry if it wasn't for this game, right?

1367
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:27,920
And even this any card to as the game was only introduced to her as like a vector

1368
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:33,280
for interacting with Arata and like having a thing outside of her sister.

1369
00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:37,440
Like the motivations don't really match like what the actual thing is.

1370
00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:40,720
But the way it was introduced like makes a profound difference.

1371
00:56:40,720 --> 00:56:43,280
And I really do think that's true for a lot of stuff.

1372
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:46,200
Like I kind of like for me, I can be interested in a lot of different stuff.

1373
00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:48,440
As long as it's like pitched to me in a way that I'm.

1374
00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:50,040
Yeah. Yeah.

1375
00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:55,000
Yes, so I find it fascinating to have an episode that's basically all like about that.

1376
00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:57,080
Right. We're like.

1377
00:56:57,080 --> 00:57:01,440
Kana is able to pitch learning history or like, you know, teaching her history

1378
00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:05,120
or like showing her about like the poetry and stuff through the lens of Karate.

1379
00:57:05,120 --> 00:57:09,360
And then Chiaya is able to do the opposite of like pitching the sport aspect of it

1380
00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:14,040
through the lens of you get to interact with the poetry and pieces like that.

1381
00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:16,200
And also, you know, we'll wear the old clothing.

1382
00:57:16,200 --> 00:57:19,200
Yeah.

1383
00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:20,240
Yeah.

1384
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:22,280
Also, it's fun to dress up.

1385
00:57:22,280 --> 00:57:25,280
Yeah, it is.

1386
00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:33,520
Although that is heavy clothing that doesn't seem the best for movement or sitting,

1387
00:57:33,520 --> 00:57:36,800
which is like what you do in Karate.

1388
00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:39,600
So we'll see.

1389
00:57:39,720 --> 00:57:41,920
But it's only on your legs.

1390
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:43,560
Yeah. I don't know.

1391
00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:46,560
I guess it's like this is that fabric crinkle.

1392
00:57:46,560 --> 00:57:51,080
A lot. Or is it like what these buildings look kind of shoddy?

1393
00:57:51,080 --> 00:57:54,520
Maybe they're conditioning socks and then they're going to be really hot.

1394
00:57:54,520 --> 00:57:56,640
And well, they're only wearing it during matches.

1395
00:57:56,640 --> 00:57:58,600
They're not going to wear it during a.

1396
00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:00,640
Yeah.

1397
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:04,200
Well, yeah, I'm not doing that kind of aren't those kind of pants like pleated.

1398
00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:06,080
I guess they're pretty.

1399
00:58:06,080 --> 00:58:07,560
They could fold, right?

1400
00:58:07,560 --> 00:58:08,560
Yeah. Yeah.

1401
00:58:08,560 --> 00:58:10,640
They're not like confining or anything.

1402
00:58:10,640 --> 00:58:18,160
Um, anyways, we should we should move on because I am a tight schedule.

1403
00:58:18,160 --> 00:58:19,160
Yeah.

1404
00:58:19,160 --> 00:58:21,160
Um, so.

1405
00:58:21,800 --> 00:58:24,880
Let's breeze through our recommendations of the week.

1406
00:58:24,880 --> 00:58:26,480
I'm going to start.

1407
00:58:26,480 --> 00:58:35,520
So I don't know if you've ever tried a tax based game before, like where it's

1408
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:38,200
entirely tax that the game.

1409
00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:40,800
Plays is. Yeah.

1410
00:58:40,800 --> 00:58:42,000
Like an old game.

1411
00:58:42,120 --> 00:58:43,120
Yeah.

1412
00:58:43,360 --> 00:58:46,400
Yeah. It's not it's not like where you input commands or anything.

1413
00:58:46,400 --> 00:58:51,720
This is just narrative where you like read and then you like select your

1414
00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:55,440
choice and then that affects how the rest of the story plays out.

1415
00:58:55,920 --> 00:59:02,600
Um, and so there's this developer called choice of games and it's not a long

1416
00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:03,880
time since I played one of them.

1417
00:59:03,880 --> 00:59:08,560
But the first one I played is called heroes rise the prodgy and kind of like,

1418
00:59:08,560 --> 00:59:11,920
you know, this world with superheroes and your new hero and you get to like,

1419
00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:16,680
kind of determine like what you're here to look like and what kind of combat

1420
00:59:16,680 --> 00:59:20,360
and that like changes all of the tax that you read through.

1421
00:59:20,360 --> 00:59:24,480
And there's even a little romance romance and stuff.

1422
00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:26,320
Um, let's see.

1423
00:59:26,600 --> 00:59:31,920
A hundred thousand words of interactive fiction, multiple endings.

1424
00:59:31,920 --> 00:59:34,040
Um, let's see.

1425
00:59:34,080 --> 00:59:40,000
Yeah, I just, I mean, if you like reading, it's probably not the highest

1426
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:43,200
quality writing, but it's like a fun little thing to try out.

1427
00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:44,640
They're super cheap games too.

1428
00:59:45,240 --> 00:59:51,640
Um, so maybe get they have and they have a bunch of different.

1429
00:59:52,640 --> 00:59:58,920
The like dragons or, you know, werewolves or kung fu, you know, all kinds

1430
00:59:58,920 --> 01:00:04,200
of different settings for the voice of robots, be a robot, you know, all sorts

1431
01:00:04,200 --> 01:00:04,920
of stuff.

1432
01:00:04,920 --> 01:00:06,200
So maybe check those out.

1433
01:00:06,920 --> 01:00:07,440
Yeah.

1434
01:00:08,200 --> 01:00:08,720
Yeah.

1435
01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:10,640
That's my recommendation.

1436
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:12,640
Yeah, I'm looking at it now.

1437
01:00:12,640 --> 01:00:13,800
It looks pretty interesting.

1438
01:00:14,040 --> 01:00:17,640
My recommendation is going to be a recommendation I gave at the very,

1439
01:00:17,640 --> 01:00:21,400
very beginning of this show, but I didn't give it as a pitch specifically to

1440
01:00:21,400 --> 01:00:24,440
you and I feel like I probably could, unless you looked at it in which case

1441
01:00:24,440 --> 01:00:25,640
I'm giving this to nothing.

1442
01:00:25,640 --> 01:00:28,760
I'm going to pitch you on the webcomic.

1443
01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:30,080
Harpy G, did you ever look at that?

1444
01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:33,840
Uh, no, I haven't like actually read any of it.

1445
01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:37,960
I do just simply remember you and I had like looked at the cover and stuff.

1446
01:00:38,400 --> 01:00:38,800
Yes.

1447
01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:42,240
So this is a webcomic about an elf named harpy.

1448
01:00:42,440 --> 01:00:49,160
She is going on a journey to where that's brought her to this kind of like

1449
01:00:49,440 --> 01:00:52,360
small town name.

1450
01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:54,840
I think it's punkadillo maybe something like that.

1451
01:00:54,840 --> 01:00:55,840
That's cute.

1452
01:00:55,840 --> 01:00:57,160
She makes some friends there.

1453
01:00:57,680 --> 01:00:58,920
They go on adventures together.

1454
01:00:58,920 --> 01:00:59,640
It's very cute.

1455
01:00:59,640 --> 01:01:02,400
The art is really, it's extremely charming.

1456
01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:05,200
There's some romance subplots.

1457
01:01:05,200 --> 01:01:06,640
There's some magic subplots.

1458
01:01:06,640 --> 01:01:10,160
Harpy is like a kind of a go getter, swashbuckler.

1459
01:01:10,160 --> 01:01:11,160
It's very cute.

1460
01:01:11,160 --> 01:01:12,760
There's magic in the world.

1461
01:01:13,640 --> 01:01:14,760
It's very fun.

1462
01:01:14,760 --> 01:01:16,200
You can, you know, it's a webcomic.

1463
01:01:16,200 --> 01:01:19,480
It's not super duper long, but it is like pretty substantially long at this

1464
01:01:19,480 --> 01:01:21,560
point, so it'll take some time to read it.

1465
01:01:21,560 --> 01:01:23,600
I'm just going to like blow through all of it in like an hour.

1466
01:01:23,600 --> 01:01:24,600
It's very cute.

1467
01:01:25,600 --> 01:01:27,600
I like almost all of it.

1468
01:01:28,600 --> 01:01:30,600
I'm a little behind right now, but I need to catch back up.

1469
01:01:31,600 --> 01:01:33,000
You should definitely check this out.

1470
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:34,600
I do think you would be interested in it.

1471
01:01:34,600 --> 01:01:39,000
I do think the art style is very nice and you would probably like it.

1472
01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:43,600
And, you know, it's kind of a, you know, she's like an elf girl.

1473
01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:45,600
So it's like it's like a fantasy thing, you know,

1474
01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:50,600
yeah, kind of like it feels like there are aspects of when I watched you play

1475
01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:54,600
Dragon Age, Vale of like, yeah, that kind of thing, which might be

1476
01:01:54,600 --> 01:01:57,600
okay. Banser party Banser.

1477
01:01:58,600 --> 01:01:59,600
Yeah.

1478
01:01:59,600 --> 01:02:01,600
So, I think you should, I think you should check it out.

1479
01:02:02,600 --> 01:02:03,600
Yeah.

1480
01:02:03,600 --> 01:02:07,600
Where we like follow up and see like you even, I hadn't recommended this to you,

1481
01:02:07,600 --> 01:02:12,600
but you've like tried which spring are and so I should try something you

1482
01:02:12,600 --> 01:02:13,600
recommended.

1483
01:02:13,600 --> 01:02:15,600
So I do read webcomics.

1484
01:02:15,600 --> 01:02:18,600
So yeah, I should check it out.

1485
01:02:18,600 --> 01:02:20,600
So back on that one.

1486
01:02:20,600 --> 01:02:21,600
Okay.

1487
01:02:21,600 --> 01:02:22,600
Yeah.

01:02:22,600 --> 01:02:24,600

1496

depending on how we're feeling or we may take a break from the

1497
01:02:46,600 --> 01:02:48,600

Pretty please.

1504
01:02:58,600 --> 01:02:59,600
All right.

1505
01:02:59,600 --> 01:03:00,600
Sweet.

1506
01:03:00,600 --> 01:03:01,600
Okay.

1507
01:03:01,600 --> 01:03:03,600
Thanks for listening, everyone.

1508
01:03:03,600 --> 01:03:06,600
Thanks for spreading the good word about so Joe.

1509
01:03:06,600 --> 01:03:09,600
We expect many new listeners next week.

1510
01:03:09,600 --> 01:03:10,600
So get on it.

1511
01:03:10,600 --> 01:03:15,600
And, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and,

1512
01:03:15,600 --> 01:03:18,600
and, and, and remember that classical poetry is only interesting

1513
01:03:18,600 --> 01:03:20,600
if you know the context behind it.

1514
01:03:20,600 --> 01:03:23,600
Don't just try to look at classical poetry without knowing anything.

1515
01:03:23,600 --> 01:03:25,600
It probably won't work for you.

1516
01:03:25,600 --> 01:03:27,600
Yes.

1517
01:03:27,600 --> 01:03:28,600
Yeah.

1518
01:03:28,600 --> 01:03:30,600
Shakespeare has never hit with me.

1519
01:03:30,600 --> 01:03:33,600
So Shakespeare still does hit for me sometimes.

1520
01:03:33,600 --> 01:03:36,600
Like that one survives time pretty well.

1521
01:03:36,600 --> 01:03:37,600
There was older stuff.

1522
01:03:37,600 --> 01:03:40,600
Like one time I read the night of the burning pestle.

1523
01:03:40,600 --> 01:03:42,600
I had to get that explained to me.

1524
01:03:42,600 --> 01:03:43,600
It plays much fun.

1525
01:03:43,600 --> 01:03:45,600
I'll never get it.

1526
01:03:45,600 --> 01:03:46,600
Listen,

1527
01:03:46,600 --> 01:03:49,600
sometimes you just need someone to explain what's going on in a

1528
01:03:49,600 --> 01:03:50,600
thing.

1529
01:03:50,600 --> 01:03:52,600
Sometimes just experiencing the thing isn't enough.

1530
01:03:52,600 --> 01:03:53,600
That's fine.

1531
01:03:53,600 --> 01:03:54,600
You don't even feel bad about that.

1532
01:03:54,600 --> 01:03:56,600
Sometimes that's just how things are.

1533
01:03:56,600 --> 01:03:57,600
Yeah.

1534
01:03:57,600 --> 01:03:59,600
That's like one time I showed up.

1535
01:03:59,600 --> 01:04:03,600
For a test in AP English and then everyone was talking about

1536
01:04:03,600 --> 01:04:05,600
beforehand and that's when I realized, oh wait,

1537
01:04:05,600 --> 01:04:06,600
that's what this book is about.

1538
01:04:06,600 --> 01:04:07,600
I was totally, I was on her.

1539
01:04:07,600 --> 01:04:12,600
Totally different person. Good thing I found out right before I

1540
01:04:12,600 --> 01:04:15,600
started doing the test for this book called I am the cheese.

1541
01:04:15,600 --> 01:04:16,600
Yes.

1542
01:04:16,600 --> 01:04:17,600
I did not pick up on.

1543
01:04:17,600 --> 01:04:19,600
Never feel bad about that.

1544
01:04:19,600 --> 01:04:21,600
Like I don't pick up on shit all the time.

1545
01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:23,600
Even though it seems like I won't.

1546
01:04:23,600 --> 01:04:24,600
No, but it doesn't matter.

1547
01:04:24,600 --> 01:04:27,600
Like if you aren't in that exact headspace while reading a thing,

1548
01:04:27,600 --> 01:04:29,600
you may just not pick it up and being like, oh shit.

1549
01:04:29,600 --> 01:04:30,600
Like, oh really?

1550
01:04:30,600 --> 01:04:31,600
I don't know.

1551
01:04:31,600 --> 01:04:32,600
I don't know.

1552
01:04:32,600 --> 01:04:33,600
I don't know.

1553
01:04:33,600 --> 01:04:34,600
I don't know.

1554
01:04:34,600 --> 01:04:35,600
I don't know.

1555
01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:37,600
I don't know.

1556
01:04:37,600 --> 01:04:38,600
I don't know.

1557
01:04:38,600 --> 01:04:39,600
I don't know.

1558
01:04:39,600 --> 01:04:40,600
I don't know.

1559
01:04:40,600 --> 01:04:41,600
I don't know.

1560
01:04:41,600 --> 01:04:42,600
I don't know.

1561
01:04:42,600 --> 01:04:43,600
I don't know.

1562
01:04:43,600 --> 01:04:44,600
I don't know.

1563
01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:46,600
So I just picked up and being like, oh shit,

1564
01:04:46,600 --> 01:04:48,600
like I'll read like a review of a thing or like a criticism of a

1565
01:04:48,600 --> 01:04:49,600
thing.

1566
01:04:49,600 --> 01:04:51,600
And all of a sudden I'd be like, oh, it was about this.

1567
01:04:51,600 --> 01:04:52,600
I didn't even notice.

1568
01:04:52,600 --> 01:04:54,600
Totally a normal reaction to have to stuff.

1569
01:04:54,600 --> 01:04:55,600
Okay.

1570
01:04:55,600 --> 01:04:56,600
Cool.

1571
01:04:56,600 --> 01:04:57,600
Sweet.

1572
01:04:57,600 --> 01:04:58,600
That's all right.

1573
01:04:58,600 --> 01:04:59,600
I'm not a dummy.

1574
01:04:59,600 --> 01:05:00,600
Joe said so.

1575
01:05:00,600 --> 01:05:01,600
No.

1576
01:05:01,600 --> 01:05:02,600
It's hard.

1577
01:05:02,600 --> 01:05:04,600
It's not a skill that you have to use all the time.

1578
01:05:04,600 --> 01:05:06,600
I'm not going to say anything and she had a free room.

1579
01:05:06,600 --> 01:05:07,600
Maybe we'll catch on.

1580
01:05:07,600 --> 01:05:08,600
We're going to,

1581
01:05:08,600 --> 01:05:10,600
we're going to get to the end of this series and it's all been

1582
01:05:10,600 --> 01:05:14,600
about like a metaphor for like growing apart or something.

1583
01:05:14,600 --> 01:05:17,600
And we're going to be like, ah, shit, but we didn't know this.

1584
01:05:17,600 --> 01:05:19,600
That's anime.

1585
01:05:19,600 --> 01:05:20,600
All right.

1586
01:05:20,600 --> 01:05:21,600
Okay.

1587
01:05:21,600 --> 01:05:22,600
See you.

1588
01:05:22,600 --> 01:05:23,600
Yeah.

1589
01:05:23,600 --> 01:05:24,600
Bye-bye next time.

1590
01:05:24,600 --> 01:05:25,600
All that.

1591
01:05:25,600 --> 01:05:27,600
All that.
