So, starting at 3, 2, 1.

Speaker:

I'm seeing a city here.

Speaker:

Some names I cannot pronounce.

Speaker:

Is this one of those animes where they fight the sky?

Speaker:

Oh, like, do they jump in the sky and just fight in the sky?

Speaker:

I don't know!

Speaker:

What is that?

Speaker:

What, what is that trend?

Speaker:

It's like, do you fight?

Speaker:

In the intros, where they're like, fighting in the sky.

Speaker:

Right?

Speaker:

Is that what you're talking about?

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

I do.

Speaker:

I wish I knew.

Speaker:

It's cool, don't get me wrong.

Speaker:

Right, I think it's just because it's cool.

Speaker:

I would love to see them like, fight in water.

Speaker:

Just shake it up a little bit.

Speaker:

Right.

Speaker:

Fire.

Speaker:

Earth.

Speaker:

Air.

Speaker:

Oh, see, bleeding.

Speaker:

Oh, that's the guy from the movie!

Speaker:

I love intros that are like, you know what, screw it.

Speaker:

Just, just, just play the intro music, but this is not the, the intro video.

Speaker:

Right.

Speaker:

Oh, Domineer's not working.

Speaker:

Isn't that what that was in the, uh, in the movie?

Speaker:

I think they call it a Dominator.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

That's quite a name for a gun.

Speaker:

That's awesome.

Speaker:

He can't shoot at this guy even though he's clearly trying to kill him.

Speaker:

Tool!

Speaker:

That was cool.

Speaker:

That was pretty dope.

Speaker:

Oh yeah, we're watching the dub, by the way.

Speaker:

And why are we watching the dub, Nicholas?

Speaker:

Because dub is better.

Speaker:

This dub is better!

Speaker:

And we are Southern Senpais.

Speaker:

Speaker:

I love futuristic Japan.

Speaker:

Speaker:

This pasty bastard?

Speaker:

That's who you think is so cute?

Speaker:

It's the crazy part whenever they hunt him down, they just like

Speaker:

instantly turn serial killer crazy.

Speaker:

Right.

Speaker:

It's like, hey, you've been scammed.

Speaker:

Alright, cool.

Speaker:

Now it's time to kill people.

Speaker:

Great.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

So has DJ.

Speaker:

Shut the fuck up.

Speaker:

Such a dick.

Speaker:

What would you do if you had

Speaker:

a gun that would like, obliterate any Like, you're an officer

Speaker:

of the law, and your guns can like, obliterate people, right?

Speaker:

Like, look at the fuckin sides of these things.

Speaker:

Also, would you trust an AI running your gun?

Speaker:

No.

Speaker:

That's crazy.

Speaker:

All he's saying is leave it to just fine.

Speaker:

You're the inspector.

Speaker:

You decide that you don't like the way I'm doing things?

Speaker:

Sure.

Speaker:

You're related to criminals too, no different than the Yes, it might help.

Speaker:

That stubborn bastard is Shinya Kogami.

Speaker:

And this old bastard is Tomomi Masaoka.

Speaker:

I'm looking forward to working with you.

Speaker:

Well then, I'll You know, I don't mean to get too far off subject, but uh,

Speaker:

You know what I've always wondered?

Speaker:

Like, those names, I mean That women are like?

Speaker:

These

Speaker:

Would you shut up?

Speaker:

Those guys have, uh, uh, Japanese names, but they're said in English,

Speaker:

so they sound kinda weird, right?

Speaker:

Okay.

Speaker:

Um, you ever notice in the Bible, like, the Bible's supposed to be,

Speaker:

like, in the Middle East, right?

Speaker:

Mm hmm.

Speaker:

How do they find someone whose name is, like, Tom and Mark?

Speaker:

I don't know.

Speaker:

How do they all just turn crazy?

Speaker:

Well, because he's like, oh, because they already said I'm a killer and

Speaker:

there's nothing I can do about it.

Speaker:

So I might as well be an actual killer.

Speaker:

That's what he's saying.

Speaker:

Oh, he's a virgin.

Speaker:

Oh, well, that actually explains like everything.

Speaker:

Yo.

Speaker:

Damn, bro.

Speaker:

You raping this bitch.

Speaker:

So, like, I guess because he goes, oh, marriage, a job, I can't get anything

Speaker:

because the civil system says I'm crazy.

Speaker:

But you haven't actually done anything to make you crazy.

Speaker:

It just says that you're crazy.

Speaker:

But then you prove it correct by then acting crazy, cause you're like, oh

Speaker:

it says I'm crazy, I'm gonna go to jail, so I might as well do have some

Speaker:

fun before I go to jail, but then you like, you like did the thing.

Speaker:

Well see that's the crazy part, and it's like, just earlier today, they were

Speaker:

like, oh this guy is over a hundred, he is now crazy, it's like, this just

Speaker:

happened, how did you turn and devolve into a serial killer that quick?

Speaker:

So, you became crazy cause they said you were crazy, that's all it took?

Speaker:

Well fuck it, you might be crazy!

Speaker:

People callin me crazy all the time, I'm just mad to turn crazy.

Speaker:

Okay, I like that feature.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

The police would be in riots and have triggers on their fuckin guns.

Speaker:

Right.

Speaker:

It's like, this bitch was about to fuckin shoot me.

Speaker:

I am a normal person.

Speaker:

Yeah, exactly.

Speaker:

So just cause you're capable of violence doesn't mean that you'll do violence.

Speaker:

That's why I said all this at the beginning of every like, detective stuff.

Speaker:

Would you go to school?

Speaker:

Yeah, fuck that!

Speaker:

None of that means anything.

Speaker:

Okay, then why did I go to school?

Speaker:

And also, why is that also, Hey, throw away everything you knew.

Speaker:

I, I feel like you, we know this character from before, right?

Speaker:

So, they could've just not said anything.

Speaker:

What?

Speaker:

Wait, does he have clothes on?

Speaker:

So, I guess he's really bad at sex, cause you're supposed to I

Speaker:

think he's torturing her, I don't think he's having sex with her.

Speaker:

Damn!

Speaker:

Damn!

Speaker:

So you just kill him?

Speaker:

Yeah, pretty much.

Speaker:

They'll lock you up as a blatant criminal and torture you for the rest of your life.

Speaker:

Because you got kidnapped?

Speaker:

So, oh, but it, that,

Speaker:

OH!

Speaker:

Damn.

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

officially like this show.

Speaker:

What's gonna happen with the girl now?

Speaker:

It's okay.

Speaker:

No, cause she is a cloudy thing too.

Speaker:

Yeah, cause she crazy too now.

Speaker:

Oh

Speaker:

Speaker:

She's just gonna get paralyzed.

Speaker:

Yeah, man.

Speaker:

You know what's crazy?

Speaker:

This is like, I can, what makes this so eerie is that

Speaker:

I can imagine this happening.

Speaker:

Oh yeah, and this probably happens a lot.

Speaker:

All the time.

Speaker:

Unfortunately.

Speaker:

Oh!

Speaker:

He's not doing anything wrong, he's following the law.

Speaker:

That's the law!

Speaker:

That's

Speaker:

right what he said, he said, I'm just following the law.

Speaker:

Oh!

Speaker:

Because that's the job.

Speaker:

Yeah, that's pretty crazy, man.

Speaker:

But

Speaker:

you don't kill innocent people?

Speaker:

What's wrong with you?

Speaker:

You don't kill hostages?

Speaker:

What's wrong with you?

Speaker:

You don't like to torture people?

Speaker:

What's wrong with you?

Speaker:

I wanna full report on why you just lethally murdered this hostage.

Speaker:

She's probably in trouble.

Speaker:

Probably.

Speaker:

They think about it probably from their perspective.

Speaker:

Cheaper to kill them.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Yeah, you know, like the slave labor isn't even worth it anymore because it's the

Speaker:

future, so they probably have robo slaves.

Speaker:

Probably.

Speaker:

Work faster, don't bitch.

Speaker:

Can't fight for their own rights.

Speaker:

Uh, how long, you know, this is another thing about anime, they're

Speaker:

like, alright, so, for this scene, she's gonna sit on a ledge, and then

Speaker:

the wind blows through her hair.

Nicholas is scared of blood and graphics.

Speaker:

Well, I'm not scared of it.

Speaker:

It's cool.

Speaker:

It's cool.

Speaker:

The story is fiction.

Speaker:

The name of the individual is a fiction.
