Transcript
- 0:04What is up, y'all welcome back to Daddy's to talk, it's your
- 0:08boy, Rob, AKA father, Advanced here with another first
- 0:12impression of a manga and today's manga is going to be
- 0:17young ladies, don't play fighting games.
- 0:20Now, this is what I make sure. I'm like, really excited to talk
- 0:24about because it kind of exceeded any expectation.
- 0:29I had was granted going in, I really didn't know too much
- 0:32about Aside from just like the general premise.
- 0:34But this is like really spoke to me in so many ways, just like
- 0:41being a gamer, a just, like, spoke to me in my core.
- 0:45But before I jump into that, of course, just let you know, the
- 0:50story and the are is done by a very edgy mama and to read a
- 0:55little bit of the the synopsis Forbidden, Love for videogames,
- 1:01Kuro me. Girls Academy is a refined.
- 1:04Elegant school that expects the very best in deportment from its
- 1:08young ladies. I got into this perilous rich,
- 1:13girls institution on a scholarship and hopes to grow as
- 1:18lovely as a fellow student and idle the so-called Sherry Yuri
- 1:24Sama. But sure, Yuri has a terrible
- 1:27Secret. She's a trash-talking combo.
- 1:31Chaining new be Stompin, ruthless hardcore, gamer kid a
- 1:39mutual indulges in Hope and No Holds Barred video game.
- 1:43Combat. Grow into a deep Rapport Rapport
- 1:46between the two girls. And on the back here you have
- 1:50our two main characters. So I is the one with the dark
- 1:55hair and Sherry is the other one who is also on the cover of the
- 2:00manga. So, Like I said, just to just
- 2:04reading this premises. Okay, something about some, you
- 2:07know, girls playing games, whatever, but no kind of like
- 2:14the first thing that kind of really got my attention is on
- 2:15the back, they both have fighting sticks, which I'm not,
- 2:21okay, okay. And I'll just have the belt like
- 2:27just like shit about the gate. Even if you're not necessarily,
- 2:32I can to fighting game specifically because, you know,
- 2:35I've played Friday games a little bit over the years but
- 2:37I'm not like, hardcore hardcore into that genre and stuff.
- 2:43Like a lot of friends and buddies of mine that I knew back
- 2:47in college. And that I've met over the years
- 2:49is, but just the fact of being a gamer, I feel like most of us
- 2:56can understand from a competitive point of view,
- 3:03because this manga like really, really, really truly speaks to
- 3:11that part of me that part of my heart and soul just, like
- 3:16understanding the competitive nature that you can get in video
- 3:20games, period, and even more. So, you know, oh, in the
- 3:23fighting game Community, because A couple of just like a couple
- 3:30of days it's just down like so well in this series is I enjoy
- 3:37when they have mamas where they're actually playing the
- 3:40game and they might show like the, their in-game characters
- 3:46and like a little small, side panel, whatever.
- 3:48And they actually show like the flow of motion of them doing
- 3:52certain combo, moves and special attacks and things of that
- 3:56nature. And they even have little
- 4:05mentions here and there. They might explain certain
- 4:08fighting game terms and stuff, which I think is like really
- 4:11cool. Especially you know, for for
- 4:14anybody that might not see might not necessarily be too familiar
- 4:18with the genre or just might be more of kind of like a casual,
- 4:24you know, Observer of it but That that is definitely like
- 4:29like like like one really dope thing that they do and they know
- 4:37like certain you know, like abbreviations or terms they
- 4:42might use they also explained that stuff as well.
- 4:46And it is just a really fine, just really fun story, so far
- 4:53and I enjoy. Just these two interacting with
- 4:58each other. Because I she used to be a
- 5:02really big gamer back in the day, but she's trying to try to
- 5:07go about around each other like more fit in versus this other
- 5:11girl sugar Yuri, who everybody thinks is this perfect?
- 5:16You know, figure and symbol of what a young lady should be, but
- 5:22she secretly is like this hardcore gamer and I just I just
- 5:25love because like, because honestly, and I'm not going to
- 5:29try to go into like, too many like specifics Bros, whatever.
- 5:31But one of the first times that it just like, truly spoke to me,
- 5:37was the first time I came across sure Yuri playing a fighting
- 5:43game and just look at this. Just like the the clinking and
- 5:49clanging of at the motion of like playing on the fight stick
- 5:53and then the moment where she got the Three.
- 5:56And this is what I'm talking about with like the the range of
- 5:59motion with like the Combos and stuff like that and then yea
- 6:06like I said like oh that's like was grabbing my attention but it
- 6:09was at this moment where she won and it's just this double page
- 6:15spread of her gripping, the fightstick just screaming.
- 6:20Hell yeah. Yeah. because we've all been
- 6:24there, you know, if you played a game and like I said, whether
- 6:28you're playing competitive against somebody or if you just
- 6:31know going against the boss, or just something in the in a game
- 6:36that you just like being like trying to overcome and it's
- 6:38like, yes I did it, I did it, I did different have some those
- 6:42moments, you know, years back when I freaking played
- 6:45blood-borne, you know, why you taking out a boss at it just
- 6:52like yes, but yeah, that was like, I was like, like I said
- 6:57between, I said, the, the synopsis on the back and seeing
- 7:04that the flow of like the fighting game cards, whatever
- 7:07that panel, I was like Okay, I'm man and then just seeing these
- 7:14to go about because like they said, like Forbidden Love Like
- 7:19like fight like video games, period is legit band at the
- 7:24school to the point was like, hey if you get caught with a
- 7:26life, there are stories like hey somebody from a previous year or
- 7:30semester whatever got caught with the game console or
- 7:33whatever, and they got expelled from the school.
- 7:36And so, is this really fun deal? These girls, you know, really
- 7:43digging into their love of fighting games of of gaming
- 7:48period, but trying to do it discreetly in a way where they
- 7:52can like hide and, you know, not not get discovered by the
- 7:56janitor because they're liking an a, you know, room that they
- 8:00thought about coming to in the generous coming in to clean and
- 8:02then miles. Spoiler fly like a part that
- 8:06just like, like, if if that pounder of heard you screaming
- 8:09Harry, I didn't get me. The one that truly did was they
- 8:17were playing they like, you know, the first time I came
- 8:22across because she's walking through the hall, and she passed
- 8:24my room, and he sharing like the Click again, and she's like,
- 8:28what is that sound? And that's where you get that
- 8:30part where you see her, but the fight stick and all this other
- 8:34stuff. And so know she isn't getting
- 8:36roped in and so anywho one point and or One time they were How do
