Speaker:Well, it, I mean the anime starts with 'cause I looked it up, the anime starts.

Speaker:dead and maybe he's gone to heaven.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:All these people, they get transferred over when they have died in our world.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:But they're not actually dead.

Speaker:He sits at a desk.
Speaker:Yep.
Speaker:And he's like, oh, I put drifters in this other world because they're
Speaker:like the good people we're supposed to help the world or whatever.
Speaker:And then there's just like, Some gothic , I guess I don't know what her name is,
Speaker:and she's like, yeah, I looked it up.
Speaker:Her name is easy, easy.
Speaker:That is, that is a horrible name for a, a woman.
Speaker:I would not have, I would, I would not have, would've not have gone that way.
Speaker:But that's it.
Speaker:It reminds me of you ever, you see, okay, so here.
Speaker:We have people like wear shirts with like Japanese characters on them.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And the thing is, is you know, somebody who's Japanese would be
Speaker:like, you know, that says soup, right?
Speaker:Like Right.
Speaker:I know you think it looks cool, but it says like someone told
Speaker:you it said warrior, but it actually just says soup on it.
Speaker:And then I've been to places where like they said like you know, the army surplus
Speaker:store that's in Yeah, that's in Burbank.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah, I've been over there.
Speaker:They have an army surplus store in at Burbank.
Speaker:I was looking for boots.
Speaker:Just some, some dress, it's not dress boots, but some
Speaker:army military uniform boots.
Speaker:The, the tan ones, right?
Speaker:So I see a sword.
Speaker:I'm like, oh, that swords kind of cool.
Speaker:It's like a black sword.
Speaker:I think it's kind of cool.
Speaker:I see these Japanese symbols on it.
Speaker:I'm like, oh, wow.
Speaker:What is this?
Speaker:I also am not stupid, so I'm like I don't know what this says, but
Speaker:I think it could be pretty cool.
Speaker:Let me see what this is.
Speaker:And I asked him and I was like, Hey man, what is this?
Speaker:What are these, what does these characters mean?
Speaker:He goes, oh yeah, that's like the death of something.
Speaker:He said he was the death of something like, so, something like really badass.
Speaker:Mm-hmm.
Speaker:And then, you know, you can use Google Translate on your
Speaker:phone with like a picture.
Speaker:And the said, cherry blossoms.
Speaker:I was like, bro, You can't kill someone with a sword that says cherry blossom.
Speaker:It's it not that I was gonna kill someone, but like, you can't,
Speaker:like you can't carry that around.
Speaker:You can't carry no.
Speaker:Chad sword is a cherry blossom sword.
Speaker:What's the sword say of just death Of the warrior?
Speaker:Death of the warrior.
Speaker:Something.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And you're like, Hey man, that says cherry blossoms on that.
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:Like, like Japanese people go, dude, what is this like, That is not scary to me.
Speaker:I wish you would've killed me with a different blade than this one.
Speaker:Like I would've be, I would've rather been killed by the sword of ramen.
Speaker:Right, right.
Speaker:Than cherry blossoms.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:But it's, but the guy but the main villain, 'cause they call
Speaker:'em, the good guys are drifters and the by bad guys are ends.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:So the bad guys are still people who, like, they are still
Speaker:famous people from our timeline.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:And they're based off of real people.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:By the way, they're not like fictional characters like sand
Speaker:clause or something like that.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:So, but the main bad guys, and this is Joan of Arc Anastasia.
Speaker:And which by the way, we don't know who Joan of Arc is.
Speaker:You might, you're probably not gonna like the same thing.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:There's a lot of historical stuff that is referenced here, so, right.
Speaker:We don't know who Joan of Arc is.
Speaker:You need me to explain that person?
Speaker:You're not gonna like it.
Speaker:Just go ahead and, yeah.
Speaker:That's my review for you personally, is that you're not gonna like it.
Speaker:I'm talking, talking to you personally.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:You're not gonna have a good time.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:If you don't know who Jon a is, you're not gonna like it.
Speaker:Anastasia she's the Russian daughter of the last SSAR.
Speaker:Nicholas ii.
Speaker:Yeah, Nicholas ii you probably, she was shot at 17 by firing
Speaker:squad of the Bolsheviks.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:You also probably do most people know who Anastasia was?
Speaker:There was a movie.
Speaker:Called animated movie called Anastasia.
Speaker:And then there, dude, there was also a Siebel card.
Speaker:Barda, I think.
Speaker:Oh, really?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:It was about the, the bad, you know, and then Disney bought
Speaker:the rights to Anastasia, even though it's not a Disney movie.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:And then the other bad guy, his name is Hika Chi Jata.
Speaker:He's a 19th century guy from Kyoto.
Speaker:He was the demon vice commander of the Gummi.
Speaker:And all I gotta say is that there's a lot of people famous people from Japan in
Speaker:this show who are the demon of something.
Speaker:I have no idea what's up with that.
Speaker:Well, maybe that's like the most intimidating thing, like.
Speaker:That you can be like, everyone from Japan is now a demon in this, this anime.
Speaker:Oh, that was like the demon lord.
Speaker:This guy's like the demon vice president.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:But there's also the, the black king who's like the leader, right.
Speaker:Of everything, like of the end.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And that's why I made the joke, like, you know, it's, it
Speaker:doesn't say that he's Jesus.
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:You don't know who this guy is.
Speaker:He's covered in shroud the whole time.
Speaker:But all I will say is that he says a lot of like walk with my brother and
Speaker:like he goes around healing people.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:There's a hole in one of his hands.
Speaker:We haven't really seen the full other hand or his feet.
Speaker:'cause he's usually always covering shrouds.
Speaker:But one of his hands, it looks, it appears as if there's a hole in it.
Speaker:It's, the hole's not confirmed in the middle of his hand.
Speaker:Right, right.
Speaker:It looks like there might be, And he just goes around healing, called him
Speaker:to his brothers and stuff like that.
Speaker:And so they're supposed to be realistic figures right Now, I will
Speaker:say this, the reason why, like a maybe thing, 'cause the bad guy,
Speaker:they, you're giving like superpowers, like the regular guys, they're
Speaker:like, they like coach catching them.
Speaker:They're just.
Speaker:I don't really know what makes those drifters special.
Speaker:That's really good at killing people, it seems.
Speaker:Yeah, I think, I think they they were just like, man, let's put, I heard of
Speaker:the Butch Cassidy and Sundance kid.
Speaker:Let's put that in there.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Because they're definitely not heroic people.
Speaker:Well, whatever.
Speaker:And I mean, they're on the they're on the drifter side.
Speaker:Oh, they're on, yeah, that's right.
Speaker:They're on the drifters.
Speaker:The other, yeah.
Speaker:The other drifters are like Hannibal and who was the other one?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Sipo.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Sipo.
Speaker:And then but the enders, they have like fire powers and like wind powers and like,
Speaker:dude Jon Jonah Vark is on the evil side.
Speaker:Yeah, she's evil also.
Speaker:St.
Speaker:Jermaine is also evil.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:He's a, for some reason he's a little feminine in the, he's feminine and evil.
Speaker:This show makes me kind of feel like they don't like Christian for some reason.
Speaker:Like they don't come out and say it, but, All the bad guys have,
Speaker:like, you know, there's too many on one side, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Just not that they all need to be on the good side.
Speaker:Not saying that other religions aren't important and da da da, but like,
Speaker:it's like specifically Christianity.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:It, it's, they're not making a great case for themselves.
Speaker:But basically so what happens in the show is that, like I said, she's on me.
Speaker:They, he gets 10 with his other world.
Speaker:He meets up with Natsu and Oda.
Speaker:And they discover they're in the middle of this view between the enders and these
Speaker:humans who are trying to take over like.
Speaker:The whole magical world, quote unquote.
Speaker:Like there are LSS and doors and stuff like that who are being oppressed.
Speaker:Well, the black king is trying to wipe everybody out.
Speaker:Right, right.
Speaker:Because he used to love humanity.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:So he used to love humanity, but they did a big betrayal to him.
Speaker:So now he goes around and heals monster.
Speaker:So, hey, it's really hard not to draw parallel.
Speaker:It's really hard not to.
Speaker:But no, it's, it's really, I think it's, I was actually telling him
Speaker:while we were watching the episodes, like, man, I wonder why they don't
Speaker:have more episodes of this anime.
Speaker:So we then we saw Saint Jermaine and we were like, Hmm, maybe.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:The worst part is I, I really like the show.
Speaker:So, no, the show is great.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:There is a lot of blood in it, so though people don't like Gore, stuff like that.
Speaker:I mean, it's not straight with Gore, I mean, There's blood in it,
Speaker:there's people getting their heads chopped off and stuff like that.
Speaker:So that's too much for you.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:However, there is also, like, they go in and they've free the first village.
Speaker:Right, right.
Speaker:Put those, like, they're like full of Ls.
Speaker:All these LSS are dudes.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:So they're like, yeah, there's no women, right?
Speaker:So they're like, oh, hey.
Speaker:And then we find out what happens to the women.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:They're like, oh, where, where are these women at?
Speaker:Where, where are they?
Speaker:And Nicholas, you want, you wanna tell us what happens there?
Speaker:So this is back then, right?
Speaker:And the garrison is full of dudes, right?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:So they kind of, the gar they by the way, clarification.
Speaker:Who, who are the garrison?
Speaker:Like we, we talk, we didn't talk about the, the antagonist.
Speaker:Oh, the, the garrison is the the oppose the humans, right?
Speaker:The, the evil humans who have their own like kingdoms and Right.
Speaker:Stuff like that.
Speaker:That was started by, Adolf Hitler, right?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:It was also, which is wild.
Speaker:So Adolf didn't die back then.
Speaker:He was transport.
Speaker:He was the first one isec hide, right.
Speaker:To a magical world.
Speaker:So I, that one time I was tried to destroy the regular world and
Speaker:then ended up in a magical world.
Speaker:So I actually destroyed that one.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And I succeeded in, you know, creating, I think they call 'em the Otis.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:But so it's, you know, horrible, terrible people.
Speaker:The only other people in this world are these people call these magicians.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Who basically are the ones who are helping bring the drifters Yes.
Speaker:To the world and trying to like, make them do good stuff.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:They're, they're having like a chess battle is what I Yeah.
Speaker:But appointed it to the main girl.
Speaker:She's his name, who's a magician.
Speaker:Her name is OMU, O L M I N U.
Speaker:I don't know.
Speaker:LY knew really whatever, regardless of which they are the Ls.
Speaker:After they trap the, after they kill the people who were coming after them
Speaker:the first time, and then they trap more of the army and kill more of them
Speaker:with the help of the main three, right?
Speaker:They're like, oh, we gotta go see the women.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And they don't skimp on the graphic details of what
Speaker:they're doing to these women.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:I thought that they would just like imply it or like, 'cause
Speaker:it's war, like ancient war.
Speaker:Dude, they showed it, they opened up the door because if you notice, it was
Speaker:right before he opened up the door.
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:Right before he opened up the door.
Speaker:Toyo.
Speaker:That's the guy in the red.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:One of the elves was like, I wanna kill this person who dropped on his sword.
Speaker:He's like, but he dropped his sword so we don't show.
Speaker:The human was like, oh, you know, I'm sorry, I surrender.
Speaker:And then he was like, well, we have to kill him with the stuff he's done.
Speaker:He is like, yeah, but you want to kill with honor.
Speaker:And then he opens up the door and like, Bro, they have the elf woman
Speaker:bent over and tied down to this table.
Speaker:It's not just her.
Speaker:Like there's a whole bunch of 'em in these like crazy positions and Guy is standing
Speaker:right behind her and they're both naked.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Like they did not skimp on that.
Speaker:Like you don't see genitalia Exactly.
Speaker:But it's not, it's not pleasant to see.
Speaker:So like, yeah.
Speaker:Then after that, they just kill all the dudes.
Speaker:Like it's, yeah, no.
Speaker:They're like, okay.
Speaker:Actually every one of these soldiers has to die.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:They, they all have to die.
Speaker:They all just, they can't breathe anymore like this.
Speaker:I don't care if it's dishonorable or not.
Speaker:Like all betts are off now.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:The only like, so this anime is one of those that are like, Not a lot
Speaker:happens in every episode plot wise.
Speaker:It's more about, right, talking about building it up right, building it up,
Speaker:talking about theories, stuff like that.
Speaker:In fact Butch Cassidy the Sundance Kid, Hannibal and Skeo, they haven't
Speaker:they haven't even met up with, they haven't really done too much.
Speaker:No.
Speaker:All they've done is A show up in the world and the magicians were like, Hey, help us.
Speaker:And they were like, we have no idea what's literally going on.
Speaker:I have no idea what you're talking about.
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:We don't know what you're doing.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:Who are these people?
Speaker:What is going on?
Speaker:They're like, oh, too late.
Speaker:We lost the fourth this run.
Speaker:And so they're like, oh, okay, let's run.
Speaker:And that's the whole Olympus episode for that one.
Speaker:'cause Jon of Arc comes and she has like fire powers and stuff like that, right?
Speaker:And she has like the dude behind her as gals de Reyes, who was
Speaker:basically, he was a French nobleman.
Speaker:That was Joan of Ark's, like right hand man or like Spearman
Speaker:or whatever you wanna call it.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:But yeah, no, and they were like, alright, well, you know, let's book it.
Speaker:I will tell you though, one of the highlights that I thought so far was
Speaker:pretty cool was whenever Toyo is facing the Lord, That first time, that first
Speaker:time they go into and he beats this man almost to death with just the scabbard.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Started cutting this guy's head off.
Speaker:Like he's been slicing up people this whole, you know, show whole time.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:He's like, you know what?
Speaker:I'm just gonna start beating the crap out of him with like the actual
Speaker:blunt end of my, of my sheath.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And no, Nanga was like, oh, , that's kind of.
Speaker:That's kind of badass.
Speaker:Like you were about, we thought you was just gonna cut his head off,
Speaker:but you were just like, nah, I need to get this elf to kill this dude.
Speaker:Nah.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:I gotta get the elf to do because that way the elves can like rise up and
Speaker:have like pride in themselves, right?
Speaker:Pride in themselves and no, it's.
Speaker:I really enjoy the series so far.
Speaker:But I'm these, this is my kind of anime where it's like a historical
Speaker:battle royale fantasy Yeah.
Speaker:Type of thing.
Speaker:So other than the fact that they make Jon of Ark Evil, which I guess I kind
Speaker:of understand where they're coming from.
Speaker:So the reason why they're evil supposedly the enders are, is because they have.
Speaker:Rejected humanity.
Speaker:So in some ways in which they have died, they have now said, yeah, the
Speaker:way they died, the way they died.
Speaker:Now they, they hate humanity.
Speaker:So it's like, okay, well Jon of our, I can kind of see that Saint Jermaine.
Speaker:Yeah, that's iffy.
Speaker:The black king, if he is who we think he is.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:It's like, you mean technically you supposed to, you know,
Speaker:have been resurrected.
Speaker:So it's like, When was this?
Speaker:During the, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker:It's like confusing then.
Speaker:Like why would this have happened to him if he was, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker:It doesn't really make any sense.
Speaker:Adolf Hitler, I mean, that's, that's pretty, that's pretty.
Speaker:He started, he the humans while he was alive.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:So I get why he's, he's on that side.
Speaker:Anastasia.
Speaker:He's just, well, in the, in the anime, she's.
Speaker:Pretty apathetic to the whole thing.
Speaker:Like, yeah, she's like, she like, like freezes them so they go to sleep.
Speaker:Not 'cause she like, she wants to like, just straight up murder them because, I
Speaker:mean, you know, she died by firing squads.
Speaker:So she's just kind of like, you know, I'm kind of, I don't really wanna do this.
Speaker:I'm, I'm kind of done with all this.
Speaker:Oh yeah.
Speaker:Yeah, imagine like you die to a firing squad and it's
Speaker:like, oh, finally war is over.
Speaker:And just to go to like another war.
Speaker:It's like yeah, I'm, I'm good.
Speaker:It's not, it's not exactly what I wanted to dom.
Speaker:I'm chilling.
Speaker:So this anyway is more for people who are, like you said, for like historical,
Speaker:like historical stuff and like EEC high, it's basically historical fiction.
Speaker:EEC high, right?
Speaker:No, it's, it's definitely historical fiction.
Speaker:Isaka like battle royale type of thing.
Speaker:The.
Speaker:We're not even, we haven't even gotten into the Good Park yet.
Speaker:Like they haven't even, they haven't even had their like, main battle yet.
Speaker:Yeah, no, everything's still building up.
Speaker:It's still building up.
Speaker:And this I feel like this is gonna be one of those enemies where it's
Speaker:like they expect to have a season two, but never got a season two.
Speaker:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker:Like the episodes they move kind of slow.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:I'm not gonna lie, the plot moves kind of slow.
Speaker:Like everything we just described to you is what happened
Speaker:over the past six episodes.
Speaker:Like yeah, we're missing some stuff where he made now we'll say this, they do
Speaker:have some like war tactics that I didn't even not even know, know about that.
Speaker:This thing called Salt Peter.
Speaker:Yes.
Speaker:I don't even know what salt Peter was.
Speaker:We had to stop the anime and be like, Hey man, what is Salt Peter?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:This guy's like, all right, so OTA goes, well take all, take all the, all our
Speaker:urine feces and dump it in this mound.
Speaker:Also cut off their heads of the enemy's bodies and they also
Speaker:put their bodies in this mound.
Speaker:And in two years, well salt Peter.
Speaker:And I'm like, he's doing what in the what for two years, bro?
Speaker:You gonna wait two years for what?
Speaker:And we had to look it up and it's like, oh, it's like gun powder and fertilizer.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:I was like, what?
Speaker:That's crazy.
Speaker:Well, then also the other crazy part for OTA is the fact that he knocks out
Speaker:the fact that he knocks out Toyo right before they execute the the men for
Speaker:like raping all the women and stuff.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And dude's like, Hey man, what'd you knock me up for it?
Speaker:Like, I'm a warrior too, which is one thing I will say about this.
Speaker:It's like, Him and Oda have such similar personalities.
Speaker:They kind of like are pushing to make like this father-son relationship.
Speaker:It doesn't really, it's not really ringing very well 'cause
Speaker:they're basically the same person.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:Also, just disclaimer, it doesn't matter if you watch it dubbed or subbed, like
Speaker:the first three episodes of this, there's some fictional language that these people
Speaker:are speaking that is like mad annoying.
Speaker:You know, usually when you watch a show and there's a fiction language, right?
Speaker:Like, When they're talking to each other, it's either in, whatever the dub
Speaker:is, whether it's Japanese or English or whatever, Spanish, whatever, right?
Speaker:They'll, they'd say one or two words in their other language, right?
Speaker:And then they'll start speaking whether the dub language is, so you
Speaker:get it like, oh, they're speaking a different language, right?
Speaker:These people went all away.
Speaker:There was at least 10 minutes.
Speaker:And each one of these episodes where they're speaking fully
Speaker:this other language, That clearly has like no rules to it.
Speaker:At least we, we were watching the dub version.
Speaker:Yeah, we watched the dub version.
Speaker:We were watching the dub, the English version.
Speaker:So maybe in the Japanese version it's different, but I don't know.
Speaker:We took a glimpse at it.
Speaker:It looked like they're the same.
Speaker:They're like,
Speaker:and I'm like, and they say like, it sounds like some Star Wars.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Hutt.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Like it's clearly a fake language that they're just like saying random . And
Speaker:you, you even like, Hey man, I kind of don't wanna watch this because
Speaker:I can't get past the fake language.
Speaker:And I was like, listen, it probably won't be like that forever.
Speaker:Like people who like subbed will probably be more used to it 'cause
Speaker:they don't speak Japanese and yet they like, they need to read subtitles.
Speaker:But even then they aren't speaking Japanese.
Speaker:They're speaking whatever language, random Gogo, Gaga language
Speaker:pretending like it's something else.
Speaker:Well, and then also You were talking about the father son relationship
Speaker:between Toyo and Nobunaga.
Speaker:The thing was, is in the very earlier episodes, Toyo was
Speaker:like, Hey man, I ain't your son.
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:Like, if That'ss what you're trying to do here, I'm not with it.
Speaker:You kill that.
Speaker:Kill that right now.
Speaker:Also, he's not a teenager.
Speaker:He is like, yeah, I'm 30, bro.
Speaker:Like, yeah.
Speaker:I'm a, I'm a man.
Speaker:Like, right, like that percent older.
Speaker:I think you said he's like in his like forties.
Speaker:In this one.
Speaker:He, I think he's like 47 or 50.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:'cause remember whenever they were running towards the first confrontation, he was
Speaker:like, haha, I'm so much faster than you.
Speaker:And he was like, yeah, that's 'cause I'm 50 man.
Speaker:Like, yeah.
Speaker:And then what NASO, he's like 19.
Speaker:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker:We were, this might be con controversial, but we were like debating on if
Speaker:this person was a guy or a girl.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:So we said, we said we watched a little bit of the sub, not that it matters,
Speaker:not that it matters, but like we watched a little bit of the sub first
Speaker:before we started watching the dub.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:And in the sub, he's voiced by a woman, and the guy kind of has
Speaker:this figure where he kinda looks like he's like in the middle.
Speaker:Like you can't really tell Androgynous.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Androgynous.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:So, but then in the dub they call him, he and say, talk to him like he's a man.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:But in the sub it's not like that.
Speaker:They kinda like refer to him like as if he's a woman.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:So we were kind of confused.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:It's not like, it's not like in dragon ball's.
Speaker:He where like freeze is voiced by a woman in the dub.
Speaker:But you could tell it's a, it's a, it's a girl.
Speaker:It's the care just supposed to be a man.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:But it's voiced by a woman.
Speaker:Like they say, oh, frizza, he's so evil.
Speaker:But in this one they're like, oh, okay.
Speaker:In the subversion in Japan, this person's referred to as if it's a female, and
Speaker:the dubs virtue to as it's a male.
Speaker:I don't know if, look, maybe we caught something wrong.
Speaker:I mean, we are, it is possible.
Speaker:We are from the south, so Yeah.
Speaker:Are southerners, we might not be that cultured.
Speaker:We might, it might be just confusing to us or something like that.
Speaker:Like I, dude, I have no idea, but Yeah, he's in, he's in drugs.
Speaker:He also says that he has like 13 other brothers and sisters.
Speaker:Now when you look up this person, historically, it says it's a guy.
Speaker:So I'm not really sure.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:But yeah, then it's like the, the Japanese people are referring to
Speaker:this person as if they're a woman.
Speaker:Here's the crazy part though, like not historically, but throughout the
Speaker:characterization of elves, they're, they tend to be very attractive.
Speaker:And they even say like, Hey man, like, You're like really good looking.
Speaker:Yeah, they do say that.
Speaker:And he was like, oh, I had, what did 13 si brothers and sisters and they were
Speaker:all leagues leagues more attractive.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Do you, do you understand?
Speaker:Do you believe me?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And they're like and they're like, whatever man.
Speaker:I guess like, yeah.
Speaker:Are you gonna teach us to shoot the bow and arrow like or not?
Speaker:Yeah, it is.
Speaker:So also one thing that I think is kind of interesting is that they
Speaker:are, apparently there's like.
Speaker:Just a guy who, we haven't really learned his name yet, but he is like an airplane.
Speaker:He's like some sort of World War II Japanese fighter.
Speaker:I think he, I don't know if he was a a Ka cosley pilot or what happened, but he's in
Speaker:a pilot who shot down a bunch of dragons.
Speaker:Dude, that was crazy.
Speaker:It was an awesome scene.
Speaker:And then that just like, he just crashes his plane and they're like,
Speaker:oh, yep, I'm gonna fight people.
Speaker:I hate to break it to you, but like, if you're, you feel like an airplane, how are
Speaker:you gonna rebuild this airplane in this I.
Speaker:Fantasy world.
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:And if your skill is only, oh, I fly planes.
Speaker:Sorry bro, there's no planes.
Speaker:These other guys are ura and archers and like, you know,
Speaker:dragons and magicians and Right.
Speaker:Butch Cassidy into Sundance Kid, they have guns and gunpowder and ammo for
Speaker:somehow they get like more ammo somehow.
Speaker:Whatever.
Speaker:Somehow, yeah.
Speaker:Suspension of disbelief.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:I mean like, at least with the Hannibal is, he's like, oh,
Speaker:you know, I never had any guns.
Speaker:So my whole thing is like I, I know what tactics.
Speaker:If your thing is flying planes, there's no planes, bro.
Speaker:I don't know how you're gonna do that.
Speaker:Well, they might, they might do some do some hocus pocus and, you
Speaker:know, I only got six episodes left.
Speaker:I hope that I leave it up to chance for the second season that does not exist.
Speaker:Yeah, well, I mean, do you think it was, do you think Well, I mean,
Speaker:there's no seasons that are just six episodes, so, I mean, there, there
Speaker:are some, an enemies where I, I, I mean, I haven't seen really any.
Speaker:And if you guys know any listening that I, we love suggestions, but like
Speaker:that are like only 12 episodes long.
Speaker:I don't really know of any that are like that.
Speaker:At first I thought that are even one season long.
Speaker:I mean, I, were kind of newer.
Speaker:We're kind newer to this anyway, right?
Speaker:So it's very possible.
Speaker:I mean, the only one that I know that I thought was going to be
Speaker:one season was I saw part of Guan Log, not part of Guan Log.
Speaker:I saw him part of code Gaz.
Speaker:Yeah, and then I was told, oh, there's a second season of this.
Speaker:I was like, oh, okay.
Speaker:But even that one had a second.
Speaker:So I have no idea.
Speaker:Yeah, I don't, I don't know.
Speaker:I'm, I'm, I'm really excited to watch.
Speaker:It is a bit slow.
Speaker:It is.
Speaker:It's slow.
Speaker:Yeah, it is a bit slow.
Speaker:But it's still pretty good though.
Speaker:It could be because we're, they talk a lot about like philosophy
Speaker:and how they're doing all these tactics and there's not explanation.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:That's what it is.
Speaker:We're just Americans and we're just like, get straight to the goal.
Speaker:We wanna see, we wanna see violence, we wanna see people
Speaker:getting up and like that.
Speaker:We wanna, we wanna see it.
Speaker:Just skip straight to it.
Speaker:So, out of 10 what would you give it so far?
Speaker:I'd give it like a, 7.5 outta 10.
Speaker:Yeah, no, that's pretty solid.
Speaker:Yeah, I'll go with that.
Speaker:I'll go with 7.5.
Speaker:Yeah, like, I mean, I'm trying to be partial impartial.
Speaker:Because I mean, I really like it, but I mean, I can see how it's
Speaker:not a, you know, Great lon saga.
Speaker:Not, it's not everybody's thing.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:But, alright.
Speaker:Well this has been the review of drifters part one.
Speaker:Part one, yeah.
Speaker:And then we'll be right back with a part two.
Speaker:If you guys really like Drifters and you think that it
Speaker:deserves like a second season or something like that, let us know.
Speaker:Or if you think we're like talking on it, you know?
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:Or if you actually don't know who the Black King is, we said it might be Jesus.
Speaker:We actually don't know.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:Just a whole bunch of implications.
Speaker:You actually do know.
Speaker:I mean we're only on episode six, so, alright.
Speaker:So we don't know.
