Howdy.
Speaker:It's the Southern Senpai Show, where small town Southerners explore big
Speaker:time Japanese entertainment, anime, manga, and everything in between.
Speaker:Here's your hosts, Nicholas and DJ.
Speaker:What's going on y'all?
Speaker:This is Southern Senpais, two Southern guys who explore
Speaker:Japanese culture together.
Speaker:I'm DJ, and before we actually did this this whole episode was actually messed up.
Speaker:What are we doing today, DJ?
Speaker:The thing was full.
Speaker:So now he had a second shot.
Speaker:He did.
Speaker:He did a great job.
Speaker:Yeah, great job Then we'll see what do we watch along with episode two
Speaker:We saw the first episode and even though the I wouldn't say slow burn
Speaker:I just say it was slow until the end in the end of the first episode.
Speaker:Yeah it was a slow burn because the character is generic the setup.
Speaker:Excuse me Yeah, this well the setup is generic.
Speaker:But also the thing is it's like When you have this type of anime,
Speaker:it does have to be generic.
Speaker:It's all about the execution, right?
Speaker:Yeah, this is that a single ad is if you give you know a painter
Speaker:and a novice The same amount of paints the actual professional
Speaker:painter is going to do a great job It doesn't really work It doesn't
Speaker:matter that his tools are the same.
Speaker:It's not really about the tools that you have It's about the
Speaker:execution of those tools, right?
Speaker:You could give The professional painter Fisher Price tools and paints
Speaker:and you give the novice, Professional grade everything and thanks experts
Speaker:still gonna blow them out the water.
Speaker:This is great But we thought the ending was pretty good Today's scene
Speaker:enhancer is brought to you by Modelo.
Speaker:Yeah, hello.
Speaker:Yeah, dude You guys sponsor us, I didn't know Modelo was just Spanish for model.
Speaker:It is Yeah, Modelo is just special, it's Spanish for model, and when
Speaker:it says Modelo what is it, Modelo Especial or something like that?
Speaker:That's just Spanish for special model.
Speaker:Jack Daniels is just English for some guy's name.
Speaker:No, but it's like in Harry Potter where it's like, the reason why Harry Potter
Speaker:was, one of the reasons why Harry Potter was so successful is because, like, all
Speaker:the houses and, boarding school and all that kind of stuff adds to the mystique
Speaker:and magic of Harry Potter, when that's just regular shit that goes on in Britain.
Speaker:Like how they have like houses in, they, like they have houses
Speaker:and prefects and boarding school.
Speaker:Do they get sorted by a hat?
Speaker:Not a hat, but if they get sorted by personalities, no I don't know
Speaker:how they get sorted, but most of that is taken from British society.
Speaker:What's your middle school like?
Speaker:Middle school?
Speaker:Because my middle heathens.
Speaker:You were a heathen in middle school?
Speaker:Yeah, we were a bunch of heathens.
Speaker:Wearing Aeropostale and Hollister.
Speaker:Not personally, but in my middle school they did that.
Speaker:They had they weren't called houses.
Speaker:We were called sections.
Speaker:But I was, like, section C.
Speaker:We had A, B, C, D, and E in middle school, and now it's section C.
Speaker:You guys didn't have that?
Speaker:We like, you have your own hallway, and your own colors and shit?
Speaker:No, bro, we were just thrown in with everybody.
Speaker:That's the Louisiana education system for you.
Speaker:Yeah, we're just savages.
Speaker:I, I guess I, I never thought of that about being standard.
Speaker:Cause when you think, when you said, Wait, we're not teeing
Speaker:up with Harry Potter right now.
Speaker:Yeah, let's do solo leveling.
Speaker:Okay, alright.
Speaker:As you guys know, we do not have the studio intros here.
Speaker:We just have the, just the episode.
Speaker:It doesn't mean we don't have the intro of the actual episodes, yeah,
Speaker:whatever, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker:The episode is 20 minutes and 40 seconds long.
Speaker:So I'm going to press play in three, two, one.
Speaker:Do you like it?
Speaker:Whenever animes do this, where they drop off or they start right where they dropped
Speaker:off at, and then they do the intro.
Speaker:Or do you like it when they do the intro and then lead into the episode?
Speaker:I honestly believe that it's probably like a tactic of theirs because it's
Speaker:like, if they start off directly with the intro, some people who don't
Speaker:like, like people's attention spans drop off in half a second nowadays.
Speaker:They even do that in a lot of American TV shows, so it's called a teaser
Speaker:before any of the intros are shown.
Speaker:So it's just a teaser.
Speaker:Just immediate gratification.
Speaker:I think that everyone does that.
Speaker:I don't know, I think the times where it starts just directly off the intro, is
Speaker:because You know that this anime is fire and these episodes are about to be fire.
Speaker:So you don't need a teaser.
Speaker:Case in point, Naruto was done at a year and a half at Naruto episodes.
Speaker:I just started straight off with the intro.
Speaker:Yeah, a lot of Dragon Ball Z episodes start off just with the intro.
Speaker:What was that one?
Speaker:Full Metal Alchemist?
Speaker:Some sort of Dragoon, but those are like A tier episodes.
Speaker:You don't no one's ever been like, Ugh, I need a teaser to watch this,
Speaker:But, Full Metal Alchemist episode.
Speaker:Also, how did we go from A tier to S tier?
Speaker:Who decided S was like, Why not T tier?
Speaker:Why not A and then T tier?
Speaker:Yeah, it's usually A, B, C, D, E.
Speaker:You know what I think it is?
Speaker:What?
Speaker:Doesn't Dance Revolution do S tiers?
Speaker:I don't know.
Speaker:But I'm just saying, like, when you're grading papers, like
Speaker:you never got an S on a paper.
Speaker:Who decided, why can't it be V tier?
Speaker:All I know is that if I was in school and someone, a creature was great at paper
Speaker:and I'm like, all right, you got an S.
Speaker:I'd be like, dude, I failed beyond belief.
Speaker:This is beyond the fail on the F.
Speaker:This is beyond F.
Speaker:Which is weird because if F stands for failed, then it implies that the
Speaker:other letters also stand for something.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:What is C?
Speaker:It's D is for, it's like A is dumbass B is dumbass, B is eh, could be better,
Speaker:C is competent, you're a cunt, D is B is basic B is basic A is asshole,
Speaker:why'd you get it so high and then S is superb, yeah, suck my dick, you're
Speaker:too smart I, I'm gonna come up with a new create your own education system.
Speaker:Because you have to create an education system.
Speaker:You can't use A, B, C, D, or E, or the S.
Speaker:How are you, what's your grading structure?
Speaker:Oh, I would just go to a new country.
Speaker:I'd just go to Japan or Germany and see what their grading system
Speaker:is and just slap it on there.
Speaker:I think they do the same thing as us.
Speaker:I'll find somewhere that already has an established grading system,
Speaker:so I don't have to, all I gotta do is just adopt it over here.
Speaker:That's the American way.
Speaker:Stealing others.
Speaker:Stealing other people's shit.
Speaker:Nah, I think that's British, Britain's thing.
Speaker:Ours is more we act like we've owned it this whole time.
Speaker:We don't steal it, we say it was already ours.
Speaker:And if you try and prove me wrong Would just bomb you what you have oil
Speaker:Weapons of mass destruction you beat the crap of them by telling them I
Speaker:have weapons of mass destruction until they make weapons of mass destruction
Speaker:to get rid of your weapons of mass destruction They see their weapons of
Speaker:mass destruction I heard that he was actually was Saddam was trying to start
Speaker:a new currency And back it by oil.
Speaker:Yeah, it'd be taken down And everybody else was like, yeah, fuck the u.
Speaker:s and you know what's crazy?
Speaker:I remember watching like I was like, who was it?
Speaker:He did 9 11, didn't he?
Speaker:No, it was somebody else, right?
Speaker:Whatever.
Speaker:I remember watching 9 11 as a kid like on the television.
Speaker:Oh, no, it's not saddam.
Speaker:It's Hussein.
Speaker:No, it's saddam hussein.
Speaker:That was done 9 11.
Speaker:Oh, whoa You Hey, man
Speaker:Don't move Okay, but yeah, but it doesn't matter that's your space.
Speaker:That was your specialty.

Speaker:be inappropriate to ask for them sneaks though and be like yo, let me get them
Speaker:off You're not using them no more bro.
Speaker:Hold on man.
Speaker:It's not Saddam Hussein That's like really a
Speaker:Man I sound really stupid right now, but I'm a southern senpai.
Speaker:So I guess it's own brand, right?
Speaker:Yeah, you're you know part of being American is not knowing America's
Speaker:history is having the utmost confidence and being wrong At the same time right?
Speaker:We're Americans.
Speaker:It doesn't matter that we're wrong.
Speaker:We keep doing the wrong thing till it turns out, right?
Speaker:That's our foreign policy, right?
Speaker:We don't negotiate with terrorists because we don't know how.
Speaker:We don't negotiate because that would be work.
Speaker:It's just easier to Just bomb the crap out of people.
Speaker:We had hostages.
Speaker:Yeah, just let them die.
Speaker:Eh, it didn't really Did it take like forever to get that famous
Speaker:basketball player out of Russia?
Speaker:And they were like, Ow!
Speaker:Can you just please just give us the bomb guy?
Speaker:If you stop asking me about it, I'll do it.
Speaker:And the people, and the person we traded her for.
Speaker:Yeah, he's like a It was, there was a Nicolas Cage about that movie.
Speaker:About the person.
Speaker:Oh, okay, so wait a minute.
Speaker:They're supposed to be following certain rules.
Speaker:You guys didn't look at the rules when you first got in here?

Speaker:But Nicholas, I grew up with three younger sisters.
Speaker:Do you know what that means?
Speaker:No, everything is shared.

Speaker:It was an old TV trick but yeah.
Speaker:I honestly, I did like the episode.
Speaker:This was an interesting challenge.
Speaker:But, I assume that this show gets liked.
Speaker:And the thing, I I assume because it's the series that he passes some
Speaker:grand test and then Because the it's about the fact that he's the
Speaker:only one that can level up, right?
Speaker:You know what's weird?
Speaker:There's not anything I can Bless you.
Speaker:Appreciate it.
Speaker:Is there anything that I can point to that I really like about it so far?
Speaker:It could be only because it's only the second episode, but I,
