Transcript
- 0:03What's up y'all? And welcome back to Danny's
- 0:05talk. I'm your host, Robert.
- 0:07And today, today, we're going to talk about a one of my favorite
- 0:13Little Gems that is currently running in Shonen.
- 0:16Jump a Kane Bonacci. Now this series it is the
- 0:24stories written by you chi-su a Naga and the art is done by
- 0:30takamatsu. Maui.
- 0:33And yeah, like I said, it's still a fairly new chapter as of
- 0:37today. There occur is still a fairly
- 0:40new series and as of today there are currently 35 chapters out.
- 0:46Now, this series follows basically the story of a girl
- 0:52named The Kane, thus the title and her journey into the world
- 0:56of rock ago. Now Rock ago is something, That
- 1:02I am kind of slowly learning more and more about from this
- 1:05year, mainly because of this series but I've also enjoyed
- 1:09another. There's also a currently running
- 1:10anime called a. I think it's like my master.
- 1:15Hold on. Let me see if I can find it real
- 1:16quick. Yeah, it's called.
- 1:19My master has no tail but that was a little bit different still
- 1:23revolves around Rock ago, but that's another animated I'm
- 1:28watching. But so what is Rocco?
- 1:32So, basically, the best way I can, kind of describe Rock ago,
- 1:35is that rocker. Go is basically the it is like a
- 1:40one-person entertainment performance, to where it is,
- 1:43just a single person on a stage sitting down, and they are
- 1:49telling a story with multiple characters and they do all of
- 1:54this stuff by themselves. So low with that, they
- 1:59traditionally, they might have a paper fan in there.
- 2:01Hand and maybe like a cloth, but other than that, it is a solo
- 2:05person and they just using a different pitches in their voice
- 2:10and facial expressions and stuff to kind of help the audience
- 2:13distinguish between the various characters.
- 2:17And so through my time reading a Kane.
- 2:21Oh It has been, it has been very insightful and to learning about
- 2:28this art form because, you know, over here where I live in the
- 2:31especially here in Texas in the u.s. never even heard of rock
- 2:34ago. Like I said before this series,
- 2:38maybe in passing it maybe being mentioned within other anime and
- 2:43manga that I've read over the years but this is the first time
- 2:45that I've really got like a deep dive into this.
- 2:49Now this area specifically with what's going Wrong with Kane.
- 2:54Is that a Kane is basically on a path to avenge her father, who
- 3:03was Basically, kicked out of the, the Rocco school that he
- 3:10was in when she was younger. Now, I believe where we are on
- 3:13the story, currently, I think I think a Kane is 1819 somewhere
- 3:18in that. A dress, she's in her late teens
- 3:23but early at the beginning of the story is, you know, we see
- 3:26her father basically do his best.
- 3:29And basically, there are various levels in the world of Rock ago.
- 3:37And so, basically, you know, you basically take various tests and
- 3:40stuff and do performances and you're judged by, you know,
- 3:46higher up. Legendary, rocket Goa to see.
- 3:51Okay, how do you pass the test to advance to the next level?
- 3:55Well, her dad was basically about taking a test to advance
- 3:59to basically the highest level. But his master deemed him and
- 4:05Buddy in his class. I'm worthy and failed,
- 4:08everybody. And so from that point forward,
- 4:13the story kind of Skips ahead several years because I think a
- 4:16kinase, she was, she was, she was for sure under 10.
- 4:20So they might have skipped like 8 to 10 years to where we are
- 4:24currently and she had been secretly taking lessons and
- 4:29stuff. From one of the other well-known
- 4:32Rock Goa and now she As her own journey into the world of rock
- 4:38ago and I kind of herself just, you know, those elegant, the
- 4:43video of this, like she just has a certain Flair an attitude
- 4:48about her even just from her. Just general Style with her
- 4:52hair. Having the black up top and the
- 4:54purple streaks at the bottom just her attitude and
- 4:57personality. It is just very refreshing and
- 5:01the series as a whole is very refreshing because I like it
- 5:06too. You know, I am somebody for
- 5:10further, especially for those of you who have followed me for a
- 5:12while whether it be here on YouTube or my podcast on Twitter
- 5:16wherever y'all know, I like trying out a variety of series
- 5:21and I feel like we all should try out a variety of series just
- 5:24because there's so much out there in the world that, hey,
- 5:27everything doesn't need to be about, you know, action and
- 5:30fighting and combat itself. Whatever is like, no, you know,
- 5:32we can enjoy psychological thrillers.
- 5:35And do our romance series. We can enjoy stories about rock
- 5:39ago, which, like I said, is something that isn't very widely
- 5:42known. At least I can the circles that
- 5:44I'm in and stuff. And the reason why I decided to
- 5:50finally do this today, is that in the most recent chapter?
- 5:55So currently in the story, akane is basically going on.
- 5:59She's basically an apprentice at this.
- 6:03I guess I kind of come out like this, like, theater center were
- 6:06different. Professional Rock ago are coming
- 6:11through during the performances and stuff and so she's been kind
- 6:14of helping out backstage, getting things set up and
- 6:17prepared for the performers and stuff.
- 6:19While also taking in lessons at learning to help her own
- 6:22Journey. Well, there is this one guy who
- 6:27basically kind of cocky and different things of that nature
- 6:32was talking down on her in the previous chapter.
- 6:35Accusing her of, oh, you know, you're you're Serving meaty that
- 6:41hasn't been changed, like the leaves have been changed out.
- 6:43Yada yada yada even though that even though she did do that or
- 6:45whatever he is, just a whole just trying to pick on the new
- 6:51recruits the apprentices and stuff.
- 6:53And so in the most recent chapter chapter 35, she
- 6:58basically got an opportunity to cuz cuz I have basically your
- 7:04time, there is an apprentice wherever also kind of helps you.
- 7:09To get an opportunity to perform, I guess.
- 7:14Kind of kind of like how bands like like like a new like a new
- 7:18and upcoming band might get an opportunity to perform the
- 7:23pre-show so to speak before. Oh, hey, we're here to see this
- 7:27big well. Now performer while to fill in
- 7:30the the time leading up to whatever, we give new people
- 7:33time to shine. And so that's what I kind of got
- 7:37this chapter. Ask.
- 7:39So. A so in this chapter XI rescue
- 7:46was telling the story. And the thing that I found
- 7:52interesting worth rocker girl that I've been learning with
- 7:54this is that, of course, you know, if know, you these people
- 7:57are telling different stories, a lot of them are like, long,
- 8:02well-known stories and stuff, but the thing that kind of makes
- 8:06them interesting with come to these performances is that even
- 8:09though you might have heard the story before?
- 8:11That is the way it is told or delivered as what sets that per
- 8:15step. You took a person apart from
- 8:18everybody else that has told the story.
- 8:20And so, it might just be the weather performance is giving it
- 8:23might be. So I'm making some slight tweaks
- 8:25and changes to the story. And so, during a kinase
- 8:29performance, she has a moment. We like majority of the story is
- 8:34a sign or whatever but then towards the end she adds in her
- 8:38own little tweaks. And flavors to it.
- 8:43That's basically calling out the dude.
- 8:45It was making fun of her and it was just, it just felt so good.
- 8:50Everybody come to the realize that's because the guy was, you
- 8:52know, he's backstage, listening, whatever.
- 8:53He's kind of like, wait, I don't remember that line or that scene
- 8:57and then one of the other princesses kind of supposed to
- 8:59chuckle because he knows what a Kane is doing.
- 9:02And then when the guy when the guy realizes like, yo, she's
- 9:06basically calling me out. And she's saying that this
- 9:08character in the story is me, So that's just one of the things I
- 9:13love about. Like I said, kinda is just her
- 9:16attitude. She does not bag Dash, you don't
- 9:18care who you are and stuff like that.
- 9:22So it's so, yeah. So that that is just like one of
- 9:25the many reasons that I feel like this is a series that more
- 9:28people need to give a chance. Like I said it is currently at
- 9:3135 chapters on the viz / Shonen Jump websites as well as the the
- 9:40Shonen Jump app. And if you want to give it a
- 9:42shot. So Andy the physical volumes.
- 9:44We actually just got an announcement that the physical
- 9:46volumes will be coming out of English sometime in 2023.
- 9:51So be on the lookout for that. But yeah, definitely go give
- 9:55this. Give the series a chance is what
- 9:56I said. Because like I said I like to
- 9:58try to push new different series and plus like said for those who
- 10:04are watching the video and stuff.
- 10:07This is like the art looks fantastic and the series has
- 10:11been doing so well that it is constantly getting these
- 10:15beautiful color spreads and a Kane has some of the best color
- 10:21spreads that I have seen in a long time and stuff.
- 10:24So, but yeah, definitely go give her a kind of a Bonacci at
- 10:28chance. And if you have already checked
- 10:30it out then, hey, let me know what you think, you know, either
- 10:33coming down below if you're watching on YouTube or hit me up
- 10:35on social media, So you can find me everywhere at dad needs to
- 10:38talk and yeah. So I love this series and I hope
- 10:43you give it a chance and I hope that you love it too.
- 10:45And with that, your boys out. Yeah, I'll be easy.
