Transcript
Speaker:

Howdy, it's the Southern Senpai Show, where small town southerners explore

Speaker:

big time Japanese entertainment, anime, manga, and everything in between.

Speaker:

Here's your hosts, Nicholas and DJ.

Speaker:

What's going on y'all, Southern Senpais here, two southern guys who

Speaker:

explore Japanese culture together.

Speaker:

I'm Nicholas.

Speaker:

I'm DJ.

Speaker:

And I would like to sit here and state for the record that it's been, like, three in

Speaker:

a row and I've not messed up an intro yet.

Speaker:

Yeah, it hasn't been three, three, you know what?

Speaker:

You're correct.

Speaker:

It's been three in a row, yeah.

Speaker:

Three weeks in a row.

Speaker:

Exactly.

Speaker:

Three weeks in a row I have not messed up the Southern Senpai's intro.

Speaker:

So now you feel like jinxing it, huh?

Speaker:

Yeah, why not?

Speaker:

Cool, today we're watching Soul Leveling, episode 8 I'm, I don't

Speaker:

know, I might go to take a nap during this first 10 minutes since I said I

Speaker:

was going to be so fucking useless.

Speaker:

This toxic anime.

Speaker:

I'm not even, you guys know the deal, we don't have the studio

Speaker:

intros, it's 23 seconds for us I'm going to play in 3, 2, 1.

Speaker:

And this is generic hospital, and she's dying, and he

Speaker:

needs, it cures all diseases.

Speaker:

Yep, I can read.

Speaker:

You know what's weird?

Speaker:

I wonder if the Japanese, I wonder if it's in English.

Speaker:

I wonder if it's Japanese when it's typed up.

Speaker:

Because usually when you see a sign in anime, it's like they, I don't know.

Speaker:

It seems like it would be really annoying, I still don't understand why he couldn't

Speaker:

take the 30 billion and then go for this.

Speaker:

She'd be walking around and chilled, right now.

Speaker:

No, you would, you should go back to that guy and say yes to the money.

Speaker:

You're such a, it's actually really annoying.

Speaker:

Maybe we missed something.

Speaker:

We were talking during it.

Speaker:

No.

Speaker:

No, we didn't miss anything.

Speaker:

We were quiet during that part.

Speaker:

We offered him all the money to save his life.

Speaker:

And he said no for no reason.

Speaker:

Oh, actually, I'll tell you why he said no, because the anime would have ended.

Speaker:

Would have solved all of his problems.

Speaker:

Can't solve all the problems.

Speaker:

Let's get it.

Speaker:

Definitely.

Speaker:

This is what, do you think this is what Asians think rock sounds like?

Speaker:

Yeah

Speaker:

No, I'm not even, I'm not even gonna say that, man.

Speaker:

Because, there's too many people who know really good rock music, and

Speaker:

who are from from other countries.

Speaker:

That's an insult to rock music?

Speaker:

Yeah, it's an insult to rock music, just in general.

Speaker:

This is like the Nickelback of of anime intros?

Speaker:

I don't even know if I'd say that.

Speaker:

I'd be like, look, man, this is like the This is like the weird Al Yankovic

Speaker:

of ha music Where it just seems like it's a parody You know what I mean?

Speaker:

It seems like this whole intro is a parody of anime intros Not like it's an

Speaker:

actual anime intro Does that make sense?

Speaker:

You know what this anime seems Look, we got some really cool storylines We got

Speaker:

some really cool fights But You got D Eh B S Oh You went back and accepted it?

Speaker:

Oh, my brain hurts.

Speaker:

Oh, I'm so upset.

Speaker:

So then that makes the past two episodes completely useless.

Speaker:

The

Speaker:

last two episodes we watched were completely useless.

Speaker:

Does no one see you guys standing up and screaming every three seconds?

Speaker:

I feel like if you did this on a random McDonald's, people would look at you like

Speaker:

they look at Suspension of disbelief, man.

Speaker:

I mean gotta have the ass shot in there.

Speaker:

That was suspension of disbelief that there's ass there.

Speaker:

That is suspension of disbelief.

Speaker:

Heh What is with this African jungle music?

Speaker:

See if I would have said that would be racist.

Speaker:

Yeah, so that's why I said he wrote it down and then pass it over to

Speaker:

me And then I read it out loud That

Speaker:

was so corny, this is like a parody of an anime.

Speaker:

Yeah

Speaker:

Her name is Cha.

Speaker:

Miss Cha.

Speaker:

My name is Yoon Hello Cha, I'm Yoon.

Speaker:

You want this?

Speaker:

What accent is this?

Speaker:

You look

Speaker:

like two giant tits.

Speaker:

Ha!

Speaker:

Look at our infrastructure!

Speaker:

Everything now is two large orbs with little tiny things on top.

Speaker:

You're explaining the plot of Isis you're just stating the obvious, man.

Speaker:

You're basically saying, Isis if I've never watched the past

Speaker:

seven or eight episodes of this,

Speaker:

like There we go.

Speaker:

I know, actually I do agree with him.

Speaker:

The Hunter's Guild, whoever got that LLC first was probably happy as shit.

Speaker:

Yeah, that's why you're gonna get out there and do it, right dad?

Speaker:

So you have a brother who's super powerful, and that's

Speaker:

why you're doing this, okay.

Speaker:

Sibling rivalry.

Speaker:

Actually, it's not a rivalry, it's just, you suck.

Speaker:

Fuck the big three.

Speaker:

It's just big me.

Speaker:

Hey.

Speaker:

How are they supposed to be bad?

Speaker:

He chose the cursed one, what's that?

Speaker:

A bingo?

Speaker:

He got a stupid ass, haha.

Speaker:

You got that Nike tech!

Speaker:

What if I when you're like 90 years old, you still have to

Speaker:

do all that physical stuff?

Speaker:

That kinda sounds like it sucks.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Or he, by that time, he'd be so powerful that it doesn't really matter.

Speaker:

What if you're bedridden?

Speaker:

Then you can't I guess you can just cure yourself, so never mind.

Speaker:

Right.

Speaker:

Aren't you from the first episode?

Speaker:

Yep.

Speaker:

But you're still powerful, right?

Speaker:

You're still you still have the same rank.

Speaker:

It doesn't matter how old you get, apparently.

Speaker:

If

Speaker:

that makes sense.

Speaker:

But now, the other bullshit you just said.

Speaker:

Oh, he actually got to spend time with his family.

Speaker:

Remember, you're a weak ass little bitch.

Speaker:

You don't understand.

Speaker:

I want to try to kill myself.

Speaker:

Motherfuckers hate public school, dude.

Speaker:

Motherfuckers can't stand public school.

Speaker:

And it's not, it's public school in Japan.

Speaker:

It's not even public school here.

Speaker:

They get like lunches in boxes and shit like that.

Speaker:

They banned half the illegal trans fats.

Speaker:

Why you such a bitch ass nigga?

Speaker:

Ho!

Speaker:

I honestly, I would actually hate to be in this world and get the powers.

Speaker:

I'd rather be a regular person.

Speaker:

You know why?

Speaker:

Because then it's like now you're like obligated to go in there

Speaker:

and fight these demon things.

Speaker:

Yeah, if you are E or D, it's like why?

Speaker:

Why can't I just go off and do what I was gonna do before?

Speaker:

Like how was like, I can't just be a cook?

Speaker:

Oh, I forgot that dude was the voice for All Might.

Speaker:

Huh, what is this, Jojo?

Speaker:

Okay.

Speaker:

I don't know.

Speaker:

Is that, that chick you don't like?

Speaker:

I can't tell!

Speaker:

Her hair is dark.

Speaker:

And I think her hair is supposed to be brown.

Speaker:

You guys, oh it is, this is a person I hate.

Speaker:

Why are you such a scaredy cat, Judy?

Speaker:

What, you went through a traumatic accident where your friend fucking

Speaker:

died in front of you and now you're scared to go in there?

Speaker:

You're a bitch!

Speaker:

You little bitch!

Speaker:

What?

Speaker:

You went through trauma and now you don't feel like doing it?

Speaker:

Ugh.

Speaker:

What a little bitch!

Speaker:

Is that what every character does?

Speaker:

I'm glad you're depressed and you're having a horrible time.

Speaker:

You deserve this.

Speaker:

Now, if I see you again in the next scene, I'm gonna be pissed.

Speaker:

Looks like you're gonna be seeing her the rest of the episode, DJ.

Speaker:

It looks like this anime just tanked.

Speaker:

Guys let me set this down

Speaker:

You really set it down she's out the frame now she can come back DJ you know

Speaker:

I'm going to I Will make one more comment then a lot of these voice actors except

Speaker:

for the main character So like they don't care that they're here like at all.

Speaker:

Yeah

Speaker:

Unlike the background number 4837 825, section A of Naruto.

Speaker:

It's gonna be like, WAAA!

Speaker:

WAAA!

Speaker:

I love this!

Speaker:

WAAA!

Speaker:

YAMUTA FEIJO!

Speaker:

I'm

Speaker:

bringing it up so that way the audience has backstory.

Speaker:

Good.

Speaker:

But why?

Speaker:

Do nukes work in this universe?

Speaker:

Probably.

Speaker:

All I'm saying is that, a lot of people are flying from other countries

Speaker:

to this Pacific Japan to do this.

Speaker:

I feel like America probably was like, Alright, just put in the nukes.

Speaker:

Right a new portal cool new kid, but what if there's something inside?

Speaker:

No, because it'll disrupt the companies that are already making tons of money

Speaker:

so go ahead do kids No, who is that?

Speaker:

I don't know Yeah, be a Marbury

Speaker:

cuz you're in college or our mom is dying.

Speaker:

You're upset that I'm working.

Speaker:

I'm physically a different person than I was earlier Yeah And I have blue eyes now

Speaker:

and you're asking if something's changed

Speaker:

I hate this person too, actually And she also does has she also

Speaker:

two long legs the long back what is up with the butt hate in this?

Speaker:

I don't Who made this to who made this?

Speaker:

It's anime dude.

Speaker:

They don't have asses in it.

Speaker:

Yeah You really gonna say that for real Not in this one.

Speaker:

Not that the guy who's favorite anime is what was it?

Speaker:

My, no it's not.

Speaker:

But one that you'd like.

Speaker:

Why do you always bring that up?

Speaker:

I didn't even, I didn't even name it.

Speaker:

You're being defensive and I didn't even say anything.

Speaker:

You're the one making it worse right now.

Speaker:

You're recording right now, right?

Speaker:

Yeah, I don't care.

Speaker:

He is a physically different person.

Speaker:

And weren't you way shorter?

Speaker:

I heard the white bill found ya, that's why you're high.

Speaker:

Yeah, why didn't you visit me then?

Speaker:

Like, when I was passed out in the hospital for several days.

Speaker:

Oh, they're both meeting Gotcha.

Speaker:

Yeah, but he was like, oh, I wanted to visit you in the hospital.

Speaker:

But I just didn't feel like it.

Speaker:

Okay, then why would you mention that at all?

Speaker:

No one thinks this is a setup.

Speaker:

No one thinks this is suspicious.

Speaker:

That only you guys got this email.

Speaker:

Oh wow, someone is pretty smart.

Speaker:

Oh my gosh.

Speaker:

Oh, didn't I just say this would happen?

Speaker:

This is exactly what I was saying would happen.

Speaker:

There are prisoners?

Speaker:

What's going on?

Speaker:

Dammit.

Speaker:

They did, I didn't know they were going to throw in criminals, but it makes sense.

Speaker:

For you guys who don't know, DJ doesn't like his anime so much

Speaker:

he'd rather swipe on hinge.

Speaker:

I am actually on my emails right now oh listen.

Speaker:

Look you were on the dating apps.

Speaker:

It's all good man I don't really care.

Speaker:

Fucking stupid.

Speaker:

It's my fucking email, man.

Speaker:

Yeah, alright.

Speaker:

Yeah, it's your email.

Speaker:

It is!

Speaker:

I know, you just showed me, it was your email.

Speaker:

He is correct though, I'm not paying a lot of attention to this.

Speaker:

How much time is left in this episode?

Speaker:

It's about to be over with.

Speaker:

No, we have two minutes left.

Speaker:

It's gonna be the most exciting two minutes of this episode.

Speaker:

Cause usually by now it's actually good.

Speaker:

They're hitting you with the nostalgia now.

Speaker:

That's what I have these prisoners attached to it.

Speaker:

They're like, hey, look, it's gonna be bad.

Speaker:

Remember when it was terrible before?

Speaker:

It's about to be terrible again.

Speaker:

Oh And it's over.

Speaker:

I'm gonna say this episode wasn't as good because they didn't have the big dogfight.

Speaker:

Not only that it This seems so late in this series to be like, hey,

Speaker:

we're also introducing the fact that prisoners can be doing this

Speaker:

You This is episode 8 out of 12?

Speaker:

Yeah I don't know, what do you think about this episode?

Speaker:

I'm losing a little bit of interest in this, but I still

Speaker:

want to see the storyline.

Speaker:

You know what I mean?

Speaker:

I'm interested in seeing what the storyline is going to progress

Speaker:

to, but I'm tired of the anime.

Speaker:

Oh, Actually, there is a way to win me back, and actually, potentially,

Speaker:

it'd be a really great anime.

Speaker:

What?

Speaker:

Julie dies, in the first few minutes of the next episode, in

Speaker:

just, this horrific accident.

Speaker:

And I will be back on board.

Speaker:

Back on board, baby.

Speaker:

In fact, I'm so excited about it, I can't wait till next time.

Speaker:
