Speaker:And I'm DJ.
Speaker:Southern Senpai Show.
Speaker:What's going on today, DJ?
Speaker:Today we're gonna be watching episode 6 of Solo Leveling.
Speaker:What do you think of the series so far?
Speaker:The series is getting better and better each episode.
Speaker:Yeah, I wish it started off good.
Speaker:I would, I hate to be one of those people that's you gotta watch
Speaker:Four episodes before it gets good.
Speaker:It's a lot easier when it's your job.
Speaker:Because a lot of people are like, No, I want it to be good from the first episode.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:That's why a lot of people are like, You gotta give an anime
Speaker:at least three to four episodes.
Speaker:And it's but you know what?
Speaker:They never make that excuse for any American shows.
Speaker:No.
Speaker:They, to be fair, There's not an American show out there that they give that excuse.
Speaker:Oh, you gotta give it a few episodes.
Speaker:No, because americans don't have that type of patience or you're right like
Speaker:I don't I'm not a big fan of the office Like yeah, no, i've seen the office Just
Speaker:skip the whole first season man Just you I most people i'm like you want to watch
Speaker:the office started season two season one It's not even it's like it's almost as if
Speaker:they were practicing for the second season In fact, the characters are different from
Speaker:season one to season two They're not even like the same like the same actors, right?
Speaker:You But the characters themselves are like completely different.
Speaker:Then why did they change?
Speaker:Because Steve Carell was in a little movie called the 40 old virgin.
Speaker:And so the first season he's modeled completely after the UK guy, right?
Speaker:The original office.
Speaker:But the issue is that it's a UK humor in America, which
Speaker:doesn't fucking track at all.
Speaker:And also he's like balding.
Speaker:He's like bald.
Speaker:And like the first season.
Speaker:Oh, then he gets a hair transplant?
Speaker:In this sec, they didn't even, they didn't even mention it.
Speaker:They don't even bring it up.
Speaker:In the second season, he just looks exactly like he looks in the 40 year old
Speaker:version and is the exact same personality.
Speaker:Oh, so that he's just the guy from 40 year old version just on.
Speaker:And they were like no explanation of why there was such a huge
Speaker:character change No explanation.
Speaker:Why is this huge physical change?
Speaker:None of that in the first season?
Speaker:He's like a fat bald guy in the second season He's a skinny guy with hair,
Speaker:but he's still a dumb ass, right?
Speaker:But like it's totally different and then other people's fucking characters
Speaker:changed, too So they basically literally made just a second show or just kept
Speaker:all the fucking names the same Which is why people like oh wow now it's good.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Again skip the first season, but we're not here to talk about that We're
Speaker:here to talk about Solo Leveling.
Speaker:Alright I don't have any Xenohouses, but today does have We do have Liquid Death.
Speaker:Liquid Death, yeah, that's right.
Speaker:It's a The funny part about Liquid Death, though, is that
Speaker:it does, it's not quenching.
Speaker:Yeah, if it only has water, it does not quench your thirst very much.
Speaker:It doesn't quench your thirst at all.
Speaker:No, not really.
Speaker:This is the Carbonation, you know what I mean?
Speaker:I get thirsty drinking this.
Speaker:Maybe that's like the trick.
Speaker:They want you to keep drinking more.
Speaker:Because Water that makes you more thirsty.
Speaker:That is insane.
Speaker:And it's a great business plan.
Speaker:That's what energy drinks are.
Speaker:Energy drinks actively dehydrate you.
Speaker:And then you've been yeah, because the caffeine, then once you crash,
Speaker:you're like, oh, I need another one.
Speaker:That's like this, and then I leave mine out because I don't like
Speaker:the carbonation, yeah, anyway, we're gonna be starting here.
Speaker:We are starting at zero.
Speaker:We don't have any of those Pesky.
Speaker:Beginning studio Thing is we don't have that on here.
Speaker:All right Let's see what's going on with episode six.
Speaker:We can press play in three two one play Swirling blue stuff guy
Speaker:working out of swirling blue stuff.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:All right Hey,
Speaker:oh Yes
Speaker:These people are so evil and they're they're designed so generic it's so
Speaker:sad to know they're about to die Makes them less threatening actually Wow
Speaker:a Few hundred million, that's crazy
Speaker:Why you took so you already said they're as good as dead eight times
Speaker:already, but we get it keep reinforcing the point Oh my gosh, they say oh my
Speaker:gosh, you're gonna die again, bro.
Speaker:I Seriously almost just pause this thing you just say bro.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Hey the anime just said bro
Speaker:Did the dialogue just drop off They I think they just got lazy with
Speaker:this dub episode probably I bet you I don't I don't not believe he
Speaker:said that in the Japanese version
Speaker:Huh What is this a girl facing Drake I'm level 18.
Speaker:I can take you on
Speaker:I love how that was.
Speaker:That was really stupid.
Speaker:I ain't gonna lie.
Speaker:Yeah, that was really stupid at this intro.
Speaker:How many more episodes are in this season with six more?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Woo, woo.
Speaker:Hold on.
Speaker:Let just turn off the light.
Speaker:I think that I think hopefully it will better.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Okay, this anime just took a nose dive off a cliff.
Speaker:Yeah, and also, if I see this chick that we're supposed to like one
Speaker:more time, who is a total bitch.
Speaker:It's Sakura.
Speaker:I, I, I would prefer Sakura from Naruto.
Speaker:You know what the thing is I was watching this video where it said,
Speaker:you know the reason why you guys all hate Sakura is because, Sakura is a
Speaker:representation of the girl that you like that never gave you any attention.
Speaker:Not really.
Speaker:I personally I think this might be true for some incels, but it
Speaker:doesn't really make any sense.
Speaker:And I'll tell you why.
Speaker:Why?
Speaker:Because in in Naruto, Hinata really likes Naruto, right?
Speaker:All he has to do is just realize it.
Speaker:In this example, Like that guy saying oh because just cuz you know the girl
Speaker:you like doesn't like you but else implies it like no girls like You I'm
Speaker:like Naruto when Naruto and I that Isn't there like some other arc where some
Speaker:girls like hey, I have to repopulate Naruto You want to help me out with that?
Speaker:And he's yeah, sure.
Speaker:I don't remember that.
Speaker:Yeah, I know her.
Speaker:No, it's in Shippuden.
Speaker:Oh There's a few girls who like Naruto There's some girls in
Speaker:Naruto that'd be like, yo, I heard that Ninetales Chakra go crazy.
Speaker:Less talking?
Speaker:You're talking to me, and you want to do less talking?
Speaker:Then stop talking to me.
Speaker:What's all that scars on his face?
Speaker:Is he like an old school hunter?
Speaker:I think he's just ugly.
Speaker:I think at the end of the day, we need to stop giving explanations to all
Speaker:these scar people and just realize that sometimes They just look like that.
Speaker:If he was from Maryland, he would know how to eat crabs, but he
Speaker:doesn't . He would know how, what to do when he has crabs too, right?
Speaker:break out the shampoo.
Speaker:why is what?
Speaker:What, why?
Speaker:Why is your the body of your ice?
Speaker:Why is backing up?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Oh, he thinks he kills for fun.
Speaker:He can't be sorry.
Speaker:Now, typical trust fund kid.
Speaker:That man said his armor's worth a couple hundred million.
Speaker:Ugh.
Speaker:Someone watched video games.
Speaker:Someone watched Dark Souls and was like, yeah, actually, this is it.
Speaker:Yeah, I can't help but think that this anime is pretty basic.
Speaker:Generic.
Speaker:The last episode was way better than this.
Speaker:But I tell you what makes it hard is that alright, so you like have a story,
Speaker:you want your character to get better because that's the only way he can
Speaker:do, better and better more dangerous enemies is if they get better, right?
Speaker:But you can't just be like, oh yeah, see look, he's like getting better,
Speaker:like you can't really do that.
Speaker:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker:It's oh he's level, I know he's level 100, so him facing this tiny
Speaker:level 2 boss gives me no excitement.
Speaker:Compared to you don't know if Naruto went up against an actual ninja serial killer,
Speaker:you have no idea what's gonna happen.
Speaker:You even though he might be less powerful than Naruto.
Speaker:He could have some stuff in there You don't know but this was like,
Speaker:oh he's level 2 and he's level 100.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Then why do I care?
Speaker:right why don't you help him out instead of just standing around?
Speaker:He has a shield the giant shield Use the giant shield or you're gonna
Speaker:do it because you're friends now.
Speaker:Oh He's a Saiyan and has full recovery
Speaker:That's Plot Armor.
Speaker:Oof.
Speaker:It gives the excuse of Plot Armor, but it's saying, Oh, it's
Speaker:part of the video game, man.
Speaker:It's part of the game, man.
Speaker:It's part of the game.
Speaker:It's a Plot Armor video.
Speaker:It was there from the beginning.
Speaker:That's what he did.
Speaker:Why did that work?
Speaker:It just failed two seconds ago.
Speaker:Why did it just not work?
Speaker:Because he just did a full recovery.
Speaker:It's not like one full recovery is gonna make you stronger.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Yeah, I saw that.
Speaker:Such an ass kisser, man.
Speaker:Trust fund, that works out.
Speaker:Trust fund kids love kissing ass.
Speaker:They don't have an actual backbone, so when they sense that, they're like, okay.
Speaker:Oh!
Speaker:Oh, are you about to die?
Speaker:Oh, so I guess he is a hunter.
Speaker:Kill this guy.
Speaker:You didn't kill him, you only punched him.
Speaker:Yeah, but it doesn't matter, because you can't change ranks, right?
Speaker:That's like the whole thing.
Speaker:So what's the point of even training?
Speaker:That's what i'm saying like if you are gonna default always be this powerful
Speaker:not getting any stronger not getting like weaker It'll be different if you
Speaker:got weaker so like you do regularly like you keep working out so you can
Speaker:you know But if you can't get stronger And you also can't get weaker Don't
Speaker:then why what is the point of training?
Speaker:I don't know
Speaker:When did you get to your exa You guys watched him kill the
Speaker:thing, like as soon as it went thud, You looked up and saw him.
Speaker:So let me ask you this.
Speaker:I don't they say normal weapons don't work on these monsters.
Speaker:But, does that mean, Normal weapons don't work on these hunters?
Speaker:I'm just trying to watch and find out, man.
Speaker:I don't know.
Speaker:I feel like you would carry a gun in this situation still.
Speaker:Even if they didn't work on normal monsters, I would still carry a gun,
Speaker:for a multitude of other reasons.
Speaker:This one in particularly.
Speaker:Now you're asking this as you're about to kill someone?
Speaker:Can you
Speaker:not read?
Speaker:What
Speaker:was that?
Speaker:He just hit him with a fireball, hey!
Speaker:You're the one whose brothers are slaves so you can study sociology, right?
Speaker:That's crazy.
Speaker:Isn't your brother like risking his life every single hour?
Speaker:Yeah, this is oh if you went into the sit down and drink coffee, right?
Speaker:This is as if you went into the infantry military For you know your sibling to then
Speaker:be like, hey, look I have an art major
Speaker:No Absolutely not.
Speaker:Oh, is that the hulk?
Speaker:Oh, there's an ogre.
Speaker:For him to try and tell me he knows about life and stuff like that,
Speaker:it's you don't know about life.
Speaker:I know about life!
Speaker:And death!
Speaker:Hey, and death!
Speaker:In animes, the glasses are always so big, don't you think?
Speaker:I think that's the style in Japan, actually.
Speaker:I think it's a Japanese style.
Speaker:She must not be his sibling, cause she's talking about she's in a guild too.
Speaker:So That means that these designs are confusing the heck out.
Speaker:That looks like his sister, right?
Speaker:Yeah, but I guess it's not
Speaker:That Adam's Apple is fucking huge.
Speaker:It's like a giant spike coming out of his neck
Speaker:Warning if you're not complete this quest you will receive an appropriate penalty.
Speaker:What is that death?
Speaker:Go into the avatar state If you
Speaker:will defeat them all Or your heart.
Speaker:Oh kill them or you would die.
Speaker:That's interesting it's not a, it's not a hard choice, bro.
Speaker:They're trying to kill you.
Speaker:It's really not.
Speaker:I don't know why you're having an ethical dilemma about this.
Speaker:Don't you like murder stuff every day?
Speaker:What do I have to do that?
Speaker:Oh, and now it's time to hunt.
Speaker:What happened to that, bro?
Speaker:I think a normal person would do this in self defense.
Speaker:Let's see.
Speaker:I don't.
Speaker:I have a real question though.
Speaker:You didn't upgrade your clothes, bro.
Speaker:You fit.
Speaker:The shoes is not it, bro.
Speaker:If you had a gun, you could just shoot him in the face right now.
Speaker:Or do that.
Speaker:That works.
Speaker:Oh!
Speaker:His head fell off!
Speaker:One out of six.
Speaker:Alright I'm sensing a pattern here.
Speaker:It sucks at first, and then it has good payoffs.
Speaker:Which is This is a toxic anime.
Speaker:It is, it's yeah.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Why don't you stop watching it?
Speaker:Because every so often, it'll show through.
Speaker:It's good.
Speaker:No, it's not.
Speaker:Yeah, but it has its moments.
Speaker:It's a toxic relationship anime.
Speaker:No wonder there was like six girls who asked for us to review this.
Speaker:They're in a toxic relationship.
Speaker:Actually guys, dude, they're in a toxic relationship with this anime.
Speaker:This man is straight up murking these dudes.
Speaker:Oh, their eyes came off.

Speaker:I'm just gonna stab him and you just casually stab the guy.
Speaker:That's pretty hype, man.
Speaker:No, you were gonna, you were gonna kill him.
Speaker:Why would he do that?
Speaker:I think he's honest.
Speaker:He's yeah.
Speaker:Oh, it's like Vegas.

Speaker:Ah.
Speaker:I don't care, man.
Speaker:I do not care.
