Speaker:Let's talk about that real fast.
Speaker:Because Funimation got bought out by Sony.

Speaker:Crunchyroll got bought out by Sony, so I guess then Funimation died.
Speaker:More tree stay.
Speaker:You know what they say, Americans will eventually rule everything.
Speaker:You will own nothing and be happy.
Speaker:Americans are like, hey, what are you doing with that anime stuff?
Speaker:Oh, yeah, it's pretty cool.

Speaker:So I'm just gonna get and get this party started in 3, 2, 1, play.
Speaker:It's black.
Speaker:It's black.
Speaker:Oh, it says three years ago.
Speaker:The real question is, will I care today?
Speaker:Also, you guys should know that this anime follows the typical format of
Speaker:everybody else is so much bigger, better than the main character.
Speaker:He's like the weak.
Speaker:But then, something happens where he becomes O.
Speaker:P.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:Which is cool, we're also watching dubbed.
Speaker:Because we're Americans.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Alright.
Speaker:Eventually, we'll probably buy Japan.
Speaker:So some mages firing an ant.
Speaker:To be fair, if ants were like, this big, They would be a real problem.
Speaker:Yeah, we would be screwed as humans.
Speaker:There's no way.
Speaker:They can, they, can't they lift ten times their body weight or something like that?
Speaker:Yeah, and they replicate so fast Look, he can head from an ant right now.
Speaker:What was that?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Bro, how come you have holes in your face that aren't bleeding?
Speaker:Do you see this anime man?
Speaker:Oh, Wow, what are you confused?
Speaker:He's healing you.
Speaker:Yeah
Speaker:He's doing that thing where he like he's not looking.
Speaker:Yep, and I get
Speaker:That's probably the tank Like a tank character.
Speaker:It's actually a rule in anime that all male tank characters
Speaker:have to show their abs.
Speaker:It's not negotiable.
Speaker:Just like for fanservice women, they gotta show titties.
Speaker:With the males, if you're a tank, you gotta show abs.
Speaker:You gotta show abs.
Speaker:And you have to have that confident smirk on your face.
Speaker:And if you're somewhat controversial, Or like maybe just a little bit
Speaker:like oh, i'm like the wild guy you have to have sharp teeth Yeah,
Speaker:even if you're completely human
Speaker:Hey that hey, that's me right there.
Speaker:Hey, I don't oh, I ain't gonna fight.
Speaker:You ain't gotta tell me twice
Speaker:I bet you he has the sharp teeth.
Speaker:We'll wait till we get like a close up shot.
Speaker:Yeah
Speaker:Oh That's what's up, yeah, that looked like it hurt really bad
Speaker:Oh
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:He says, you're a tank, and he says, and, but that's like your job.
Speaker:Oh, sharp teeth!
Speaker:Yeah, there it is!
Speaker:There's the sharp teeth!
Speaker:Oh, so he's like the Thundercats.
Speaker:And this guy wants to be Wolverine so bad, it's crazy.
Speaker:This guy is like Wolverine if he was a wizard.
Speaker:Oh, he's the smart guy, he's wearing glasses.
Speaker:That's how you know.
Speaker:Yeah, man, that's how you know.
Speaker:Look at these people with these generic haircuts.
Speaker:That's how you know, they're gonna die, right?
Speaker:Wait, I'm sorry.
Speaker:Do you say his name's the drill master?
Speaker:No guild master.
Speaker:Oh it's a drill master.
Speaker:I was about to say I heard drill master I think I know my new
Speaker:nickname My name is the drill master.
Speaker:I Will now be formally introduced Okay Oh, how are you telling about them then?
Speaker:They made swords.
Speaker:Of hunters.
Speaker:This reminds me of the Jaeger pilots.
Speaker:Oh okay.
Speaker:And that's probably where the main character is.
Speaker:Except for one guy.
Speaker:Except for this guy.
Speaker:Oh damn, so it's set from day one.
Speaker:So if you're like ranked S, that's life's amazing.
Speaker:In this world, being born white.
Speaker:That's what I was about to say.
Speaker:Being born white is S tier.
Speaker:Not that, what did the guy say?
Speaker:He goes, Look I, I recognize such and such is going on, but if I had to choose
Speaker:a race, Oh yeah, that was Who was that?
Speaker:That was the dude that was jerking off in front of those people.
Speaker:Yeah, that's that red headed guy.
Speaker:Who then went bald.
Speaker:He was in Parks and Rec, as a cop.
Speaker:No.
Speaker:Yeah he was.
Speaker:Really?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:What's his name?
Speaker:He's a dude who jerked off and then to himself in that hotel and people
Speaker:like called the cops on him, even though Dave Chappelle was like, this
Speaker:is the least threatening person ever.
Speaker:What's his name?
Speaker:He was on SNL.
Speaker:He had Louie.
Speaker:He had Louie.
Speaker:Louie.
Speaker:Louie.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Louie CK.
Speaker:Yes.
Speaker:Now, to be fair, I might try white once, but I think I would eventually
Speaker:revert back to black once I don't, I like being able to dance, man.
Speaker:That's like a real big part of life.
Speaker:You know what, man?
Speaker:I'm cool with not dancing, it's a, it's whatever.
Speaker:I also like having a large penis.
Speaker:That's, Not gonna lie, that'd be pretty cool.
Speaker:Just have a much larger than average penis.
Speaker:You know what's crazy?
Speaker:Is that in anime They have big penises too?
Speaker:No.
Speaker:In anime, they're like Mostly in Japan, like a lot of animes are
Speaker:either in Japan, or based out of Japan, or Japan like in some way.
Speaker:And what does this have to do, penis related?
Speaker:No, ah, so I was gonna say is, it's okay, If you guys like the only reason
Speaker:that Americans know a lot about like other races I guess have certain
Speaker:opinions about them is because there's so many different races here, right?
Speaker:I don't think this would the same joke would translate in Japanese or
Speaker:like China or something they would everyone's the same race like what?
Speaker:That's like when we were talking about we had that conversation a while back
Speaker:about Why are Guys who grow up in the church strange You weird and you are
Speaker:like and but the thing is like other people hang out with other people
Speaker:But this one guy and you are like that's because he's homogenous, right?
Speaker:They don't have any other cultures, you know when you expose you to other cultures
Speaker:and stuff like that you become like a better more rounded person and Ironically,
Speaker:most people are somewhat rounded, right?
Speaker:If you only hang out with one group of people become very weird and homogenous.
Speaker:Oh, they're about to go in
Speaker:What I'm waiting for is for the really great guy to, once they get
Speaker:into action, look at the weakest guy and be like, You fucking piece
Speaker:of shit, and then go do his thing.
Speaker:Yeah, either that or he gets just murdered straight off the top.
Speaker:Okay, so what do you think?
Speaker:He's getting murdered, straight off the top, so that way they know how
Speaker:dangerous it is, or you think they're just gonna do the, oh, you suck.
Speaker:I think it's you suck.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:First of all, I'll tell you why you're E Ranked.
Speaker:What is this little dagger you have here?
Speaker:What are you doing there, sir?
Speaker:Also, Ahem.
Speaker:This anime, I already see the, A huge, glaring plot hole issue.
Speaker:What?
Speaker:Now, I'm, we just started this anime, And it's pretty good so far, It's pretty
Speaker:interesting so far it's not like I don't like it, but, They have the Pacific
Speaker:Rim problem in which why are you going into the portal in the first place?
Speaker:And if what's coming out of them is just monsters Why don't you just put up some
Speaker:like instant kill thing right next to the portal because problem solved anime?
Speaker:Oh, I forget.
Speaker:I keep forgetting that Be no series.
Speaker:I keep forgetting that part.
Speaker:Oh That's why I do it for money.
Speaker:Now that makes sense The essence stones inside the monsters
Speaker:are valuable for money that
Speaker:It just became so realistically as soon as I said that, they instantly
Speaker:explained why they would do this.
Speaker:It's for money.
Speaker:Okay, that makes sense.
Speaker:Ooh.
Speaker:You have to fight them off?
Speaker:I couldn't have thought of that.
Speaker:I never thought about that.
Speaker:Are you a healer?
Speaker:I sure do hope so.
Speaker:He's gonna be on the brink of death, and then something crazy's gonna happen.
Speaker:I don't know.
Speaker:To be fair I don't know how much I would enjoy being this you're
Speaker:dying and you're healing and dying and healing and dying and healing.
Speaker:That sounds like horrible for that to happen again and again.
Speaker:Yeah, that does sound pretty bad.
Speaker:I think you'll be pleased, Guildmaster.
Speaker:Regardless of age or gender.
Speaker:Yeah, because if you, whenever you're born in a certain class.
Speaker:That's how you know someone's evil, or like they're super powerful, when
Speaker:they just, when they don't look at you.
Speaker:Aw, you see that fan service?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Not enough, because these string bean legs are not doing it for me, I gotta
Speaker:be, I gotta be for real with you.
Speaker:But she does have slow motion hair, so I think we're supposed
Speaker:to assume she's attractive.
Speaker:She has a pink hat on, she must be a celebrity in disguise.
Speaker:Hey, I was right . That's cool.
Speaker:Disappearing to no one.
Speaker:Yep.
Speaker:You's crazy.
Speaker:Imagine.
Speaker:Okay, you okay?
Speaker:You did not need to back flip onto that.
Speaker:You dealt with, you were trying to flex.
Speaker:That was extra.
Speaker:So imagine this happened some real life, right?
Speaker:People get powers X, Y, Z, and you had to be one of the normies.
Speaker:That must suck.
Speaker:That sucks, dude.
Speaker:Look at this frame right here.
Speaker:Her tits are right there, right next to his face.
Speaker:Oh my gosh.
Speaker:This is your friend?
Speaker:You need better friends.
Speaker:Like she's Oh, I'm doing it because I'm worried about you.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:But what's this, all this personal shit.
Speaker:Like, why are you calling me a bitch all the time?
Speaker:If you're actually worried about me, help me get better.
Speaker:Cause I'm clearly not going to stop.
Speaker:And then you want, and then you want me to take you on a date?
Speaker:Follow.
Speaker:It's a cultural thing, man.
Speaker:I guess I just don't get it.
Speaker:It's a cultural thing.
Speaker:All right, let's see.
Speaker:We got what?
Speaker:Four, eight, twelve, thirteen people.
Speaker:At least five of them gotta die.
Speaker:You said five?
Speaker:I'm gonna go everyone but the solo guy.
Speaker:Maybe the chick his friend lives, maybe.
Speaker:But at least everyone else is going to die.
Speaker:You think so?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah, because I bet you he goes Oh, I didn't.
Speaker:I'm not letting anyone know I even have this solo leveling power.
Speaker:Okay, I choose no.
Speaker:Yeah, how is it a mystery?
Speaker:We've gone through it so many times in which there's a
Speaker:whole organization about it.

Speaker:It was a really slow start.

Speaker:Yeah, a very generic start.
Speaker:But yeah, no, towards the very end, I was like, Oh, okay, it got better and better.

Speaker:What, why?
Speaker:The episode is over, what are you guys doing?
Speaker:Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker:I don't know.
Speaker:Maybe they're maybe they're huge fans.
Speaker:Oh please, we don't have fans.
Speaker:We got some.
Speaker:We got a few.
Speaker:Today we're Nicholas.
Speaker:What?
Speaker:You know in our office
Speaker:Anyway Nicholas your office is set up with a lot of Harry Potter stuff.
Speaker:Yeah?
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:What do you, did you, cause you know how they made that Star Wars anime?
Speaker:Would you want them to make the Harry Potter anime?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah, that'd be pretty cool.
Speaker:They went from the live action itself was pretty cool.
Speaker:They, there's a Star Wars anime?
Speaker:Probably.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:I didn't know that was a Star Wars anime.
Speaker:Yeah, they made it.
Speaker:They made it anime when?
Speaker:Two years ago.
Speaker:Oh, I'll have to check it out.
Speaker:Yeah, there's like a whole bunch of Japanese anime people that
Speaker:made Star Wars legend and stuff.
Speaker:They're like, this is like one person has like a light saer in the shape with
Speaker:an umbrella or something like that.
Speaker:They should do a Harry Potter anime one, I thought that'd be pretty cool
Speaker:here's the real thing if you want Harry Potter anime It's like I feel like when
Speaker:they take something and they make it live action first and then they go to
Speaker:animation Ends up being pretty good.
Speaker:But their track record are going from like anime to live action.
Speaker:Yeah, it's like Terrible.
Speaker:Because the thing is because whenever You . Whenever you have
Speaker:animate, you're not limited by anything, just what you can animate.
Speaker:That's true.
Speaker:And then if you start in live action, then it's going to be good because
Speaker:then you can make it, it's already limited unless your Game of Thrones.
Speaker:Who has 200 million for what, one episode?
Speaker:No, the thing is, once you go from live action to anime, it
Speaker:can then be whatever you want.
Speaker:Oh.
Speaker:Like it gets better.
Speaker:It, it's not constrain constrained to reality.
Speaker:It's now anime.
Speaker:I'm thinking about putting like more, so in my office, I have
Speaker:a whole bunch of Marvel stuff.
Speaker:I have a comic books on one wall, like a comic book wall
Speaker:and some other signature stuff.
Speaker:I don't have any Do I have any anime posters up?
Speaker:I don't I gotta get my anime poster game up.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Oh my gosh My office doesn't have any anime posters in it.
Speaker:That's you got to get.
Speaker:Our friend ozzy the virus You got to buy some more posters.
Speaker:Oh, yeah.
Speaker:Shout out to ozzy the virus.
Speaker:Shout out ozzy the virus Yeah, that artist we know that guy in fact
Speaker:nicholas is in some of his videos.
Speaker:Yeah he's actually he's actually on our he's one of the guests
Speaker:You For our film center one.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah, we run a lot of podcasts.
Speaker:Actually, we do that a lot and I don't know Nicholas
Speaker:what is the number one thing?
Speaker:That you always say when someone asks us to help them out with
Speaker:our podcast What's your budget?
Speaker:Yep!
Speaker:That's good!
Speaker:You always gonna be like, I don't know!
Speaker:What do you want?
Speaker:What's your budget?
Speaker:It's crazy, usually the what do you want part that's hard,
Speaker:that's like more difficult.
Speaker:There's so many people that have money, who are like oh, I have Oh, the money's
Speaker:not the issue, the money's not the issue.
Speaker:Okay, but what do you want?
Speaker:I want to be successful.
Speaker:Congratulations.
Speaker:So does everybody else.
Speaker:The thing is the reason why the what do you want part is so hard is because
Speaker:they haven't done any of the work.
Speaker:They don't know what they want.
Speaker:They just know that they want a successful podcast that makes them money.
Speaker:But they haven't done any work.
Speaker:None at all.
Speaker:They haven't done any work on what exactly it is they want.
Speaker:They haven't figured out any logistics on it.
Speaker:It's difficult okay, so when we started the podcast, it was like what, we
Speaker:went down to a bar, and just with a whole bunch of neon flashcards,
Speaker:and wrote down stuff, and then it was like, oh, okay, this one sounds
Speaker:really catchy, we should do this one.
Speaker:Yeah, but we also have been doing this for a year and a half now.
Speaker:Oh.
Speaker:Yeah, there's a lot a whole lot of growing pains and a whole lot of things
Speaker:we had to learn But I also think that we also knew we wanted to do we just
Speaker:wanted to sit down and then talk About anyway, and that was like the goal
Speaker:That was as far as the goal went.
Speaker:Because we knew at some point that we weren't going to have time to
Speaker:watch anime and this was the reason to do it And lo and behold, we
Speaker:don't have time to watch anime.
Speaker:Yeah, it's why we created this podcast.
Speaker:We had to create work You To make us have fun.
Speaker:Yeah, that sucks.
Speaker:We foresaw the future We had to like with like schedule out time to have
Speaker:fun and also need to like Logistically make it financially right feasible
Speaker:to have fun and we had to justify Watching anime in the future, right?
Speaker:Gosh, like the world is so crazy right now.
Speaker:It is pretty nuts Yeah, man, I mean You I remember when I was in middle
Speaker:school, if I wanted to get through a, I don't watch a ton of anime I watched
Speaker:more anime in high school, but if I wanted to get through an entire season,
Speaker:I would be done in like a night.
Speaker:Oh, okay, cool, 13 episodes?
Speaker:I guess I'll just finish this later today, because you have nothing else going on.
Speaker:You just wake up, and then it's oh.
Speaker:Yeah, I still haven't finished Ippo.
Speaker:Oh my gosh, it's so good though.
Speaker:Yeah, it is pretty good.
Speaker:Ippo's really good.
Speaker:I honestly I watched I want to re watch Gundam.
Speaker:Wing?
Speaker:Yeah no, all of them from the beginning.
Speaker:But, That's a lot of episodes.
Speaker:Yeah, that is.
Speaker:That's a lot of like series.
Speaker:Wasn't there a time it was like, there was like multiple Gundam series like on at the
Speaker:same time, like having at the same time.
Speaker:There, there are, Gundam started in the eighties, right?
Speaker:The eighties.
Speaker:Oh my gosh, that's 40 years ago.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Gundam started, I think Gundam started in like the early eighties
Speaker:and it's had many incarnations.
Speaker:Actually.
Speaker:My favorite is Gundam Wing, obviously, just because it was my first anime
Speaker:that I watched and Is that the anime that got you into anime?
Speaker:Yeah, first of all, everyone's seen Dragon Ball Z.
Speaker:Probably.
Speaker:So let's not act like anything on Toonami, you, everyone's just basically seen.
Speaker:If you had a childhood in the 90s or early 1000s.
Speaker:Yeah, no no, Gundam Wing, I think Gundam Wing was like my
Speaker:first anime that I watched.
Speaker:That you were like, oh, okay.
