Re:Zero, Ep. 25- That's All This Story is About · Michelle Explains Anime, Poorly

0:00
Hey, it's your person, Michelle or something. And guess what, it
0:06
snowed out again yesterday. But guess what else today, we are wrapping up
0:12
the first season of REE zero. That's pretty cool, right Is it as
0:17
cool as snow? Not in the literal sense, but that's okay. So
0:24
yeah, Ree zero first, and then I'm just gonna talk a little bit
0:27
about last season shows and currently airing winter twenty twenty four shows, just a
0:34
little bit at the end. So yeah, let's get to re zero episode
0:39
twenty five, which is called That's All the Story Is About, which I
0:44
actually again think is a pretty good title of an episode. So we start
0:47
off the episode and the wagons that are I guess going to the capitol are
0:52
taking a break kind of on the road in the woods somewhere like I don't
0:57
know, I guess the ground dragons needed a break or something. And the
1:00
kids are like out of the wagons and they're like drawing in the dirt and
1:04
it looks like maybe they're drawing like little poops and stuff, and they're laughing
1:07
because they're kids. And Willelm kind of comes up to where Amelia is and
1:12
says, I have a small concern I'd like to take a small number of
1:17
our forces to eliminate it. And Amelia like looks at the kids and then
1:22
back at Wilhelm and says, you won't have any need for me, and
1:26
Wilhelm says, head to safety in the carriage, don't release the children's hands,
1:32
and then smiles, and Amelia looks kind of confused, and Wilhelm's like,
1:36
you truly are master and servant. Your eyes look just like his.
1:40
And Amelia seems a little shocked at this and thinks of super because obviously that's
1:46
who he was referring to. And Amelia is like Willhelm I and she looks
1:51
up and he's just already left. Great job, Like say goodbye before you
1:55
leave. And then we go to the show title card, which means that
1:59
the very last episode of the season does not have the opening again hooray.
2:05
Also, I should point out that this episode is five minutes longer than usual,
2:09
So I don't know how they do that. I guess they just get
2:13
limited commercial breaks, like they probably make a deal with the station to pay
2:17
more or something. I don't really know how Japanese TV works, but that's
2:22
how I think it works. So I shared it with you. I'm sorry
2:27
anyway. Then we go to Julius and Subru right, and Julius is cutting
2:30
the unseen hands and I don't think I mentioned in the last episode, but
2:34
his eyes are closed during this whole time because remember he's sharing Subru's senses,
2:39
so he's using Suberu's eyes, which is pretty cool, I guess, and
2:45
Beetle Juice is like, this can't be. You can't use such mean tricks
2:49
to make light of my devotion. And you know, Julius is still like
2:53
fighting and he's like slashing the hands and stuff. Unfortunately, though, the
2:58
hands are like getting him and like squeezing his body parts before he can like
3:02
slash them away. And remember they were like strong enough to like squeeze people
3:07
to death, so they are doing some damage to him. And one of
3:09
the unseen hands like grabs his shoulder and like squeezes it really tight, and
3:14
he gets all bloody and stuff, and Julius winces, and Subreu also winces
3:19
and starts to hold his shoulder, and he's like, this is some crappy
3:23
game where once you're caught it's over. We must be crazy too and trust
3:25
our lives to it. You would meet both, and Julius is like,
3:30
my body's slowly getting used to this. Shall we speed up? And Suber,
3:32
who is now dodging the hands as well, says, yeah, don't
3:38
worry, I'll keep up. So Julius runs like really really fast at Beetlejuice
3:42
and he ends up like slashing like a whole lot of the arms at the
3:46
same time, and they just kind of disintegrate, which includes the ones near
3:50
subrew. I guess he did a ton of damage. And Suber's like wow,
3:53
and Beetlejuice grows some more unseen hands and is like impossible, impossible,
3:59
impossible, impossible, impossible, and Julius is still like slashing the arms and
4:02
stuff, and Beetlejuice says, why how can this be? I thought I
4:06
was loved. I am loved by the witch, the witch, the witch,
4:10
the witch. And Julius is like, it's time to kill you for
4:13
real. He probably should have been doing that the whole time, but whatever.
4:15
So he jumps into the air somehow I'm not really sure how, and
4:18
he's like avoiding the hands and such, and we get some like really nice
4:23
sokkaka here, which I didn't look up unfortunately, and as Julius is coming
4:28
down. He says, all Closuria, and his sword lights up all like
4:31
multicolored, and he lets it go down on the hands and the blast is
4:36
so big that it throws Beetlejuice back and he rolls and hits the stone wall
4:42
or rock face or whatever, and Bealjes is like, I will not let
4:46
you do that, and he holds out his hand and he says old Donna
4:51
or something, and all these rocks like rise up around Beetlejuice like a dome
4:58
and like shield him, and Julius is still coming at him. And then
5:02
we go to Subaru, who's holding like this little red rock stone thing that
5:06
I don't think we've ever seen before, and he says burn fighting spirit,
5:12
howel magic ball, and he draws back his arm and he's like, when
5:15
I get serious, I can pitch over one hundred and twenty kilometers an hour,
5:19
which I just learned about seventy four miles an hour, which is pretty
5:23
fast. And he throws the rock thing, and Beetlejuice is watching like there's
5:30
a little crack in his stone dome, so he's like washing through it and
5:33
he's like, what's this? And then the red thing hits the rocks and
5:36
it explodes, And at that exact moment where the explosion has taken down Beetlejuice's
5:43
defenses, Julius gets to him and pierces him right through the heart or stomach
5:48
or something, I'm not sure. And Julius says, you lost because you
5:51
belittled him as powerless. Yeah, and beetle Juice is like gagging and struggling,
5:58
and he's like speared, and Julie is like, my blade of all
6:00
six elements together will slice your very soul apart and scatter it to the rainbow's
6:05
end. That's kind of mean. Beetlejuice is like, I will not let
6:10
it end. I have been nothing but diligent. The witch is Love bathes
6:14
my entire body, and at that moment, a wave of something strange hits
6:18
Superu, and Subru says Julius undo necked, and Julius says very well,
6:25
and he opens his eyes, and at that Beetle Juice falls limp and dead,
6:30
and then from behind Julius we hear Subru, who is clearly not Suberu
6:36
anymore, say, ah, my brain is trembling. And then actual Subaru
6:43
manages to raise one of his arms, I think his left arm, and
6:46
he touches his head or like smacks his head or something, and he's like,
6:49
yeah, just tremble while you wait, And he's very obviously struggling to
6:54
maintain control of his body, and he says, I'll let you meet her
6:59
just this once. And then Beetlejuice takes back control and he's like, what
7:02
meed, who what are you talking about? And Suberus like gasping in He
7:06
says, the witch, the one you've been waiting for, and he takes
7:11
a deep, raspy breath and he says, I can return by death too,
7:16
And then Beetlejuice finds himself alone in a dark, misty place and the
7:21
mist parts and someone is standing there, and he smiles and he starts to
7:28
cry, and he says at last, and black, shadowy hands extend from
7:34
this partially obscured silhouette towards him, and he says, for your love,
7:40
for your merciful, affectionate love, And he reaches out his hands as the
7:45
black hands approach, like he's gonna like hold them or something, But as
7:49
the shadowy hands reach his they go right through his arms and just right through
7:56
him and then the shadow figure says, no, you're not the one,
8:01
and we see a silhouette of a girl with glowing blue eyes and the hands
8:07
are now like these tendrils or something, and they just smack Beetlejuice away and
8:11
Super opens his eyes and he's like, I'm back, and Beetlejuice is now
8:16
back in his body after being hit out of Subru and he's like this can't
8:22
be and Sub's like, I was spared to keep trying till you left me,
8:26
but you keep up after one go? How cowardly can you be?
8:30
Julius then raises his sword to Beetlejuice's head and he's like, this time I
8:35
will end you, and he spears him again in the chest maybe his heart
8:41
this time, I'm not really sure, and Beetlejuice is just like why why
8:43
why after everything I've done for you? Which which and I just want to
8:48
pause they really quick. I know we're in an actiony spot and say that
8:52
rewatching the scene after watching the second season really really hurt me a little bit,
8:56
So I suggest keeping what Beetlejuice is saying in mind as you watch the
9:03
second season. Yeah, so back to the story, an unseen hand comes
9:09
out of beele Juice and it like starts hitting the cliff and rocks are reading
9:11
down all over the place, and Julius like jumps out of the way,
9:15
and Beetlejuice is like, give me your love, and then he's crushed by
9:18
a big boulder. Yay, it's over, maybe, I guess, and
9:22
at that super size and he's like, Beetlejuice from money COUNTI you were sloth,
9:28
all right, And he picks up the gospel that's laying on the ground.
9:31
I guess when Beetlejuice was switched, the gospel like got separated from him
9:35
and landed a little ways away. And anyway, Subro starts flipping through it
9:39
and he gets to some blank pages and while he's looking at it, Julia
9:45
says Suber, let's hurry up and get back to the village, and Suber
9:48
looks at him kind of confused, and Julius is holding up that media little
9:52
compact thing and we can see Felix is on the screen and he says,
9:56
Felix just contacted me. It seems there's a problem. And now we go
10:01
to the village and Felix and Julius and Subaru and Otto are in a house
10:07
talking and Felix says, the magic stones a fire that were in the merchant's
10:11
inventory are gone, and I was like, we unloaded all the cargo so
10:16
we could transport the villagers, but the magic stones of fire are missing,
10:20
and Super is like, what does that mean. Felix says, someone left
10:24
the stones on board when they loaded the villagers, and I was like,
10:26
it was Ketty San's carriage. There are enough magic stones to easily blow up
10:31
a small village. Oh. Subaru gasps and thinks about what happened last loop,
10:37
where the village was partially blown up by apparently these stones, and Felix
10:43
says, Ketty's carriage is taking Amelia and the children to the capitol. Fuck.
10:48
And then we go to Amelia hanging out. They still haven't left yet.
10:52
I think they're still stopped and she's thinking about Subaru, and that guy
10:58
who actually is that cheap says Amelia it's time, and Amelia just kind of
11:03
doesn't say anything, and the kids ask her if something's wrong, and she's
11:07
like, I'm sorry, it's nothing, come on, let's hurry, and
11:09
she gets back inside and then we see that the stones are there under the
11:16
floorboards in a little bag and they're glowing so like a bomb. And then
11:22
we go back to the village and super Ro burst out of the house and
11:24
he's like, shit, my poor man's tendency to use anything at hand backfired.
11:28
And Julius is like, we verified that no spell was used to set
11:33
the trap, but if something were physically rigged in the carriage, so definitely
11:37
bombs. And super is like, Felix, could a ground dragon catch up
11:41
with them? And Felix says that once they leave the Mather's domain and they
11:45
get to the leaf House highway, it's gonna be really hard to catch them.
11:48
Super's like that still wasn't enough. Even after all that, I still
11:52
can't And Otto says, may I say something right now. I'm actually in
11:58
a desperate position. If you would accept a trade. I promised to catch
12:03
up with the carric sit and then Suber cuts him off and he's like,
12:05
if there's anything I can do, I'll do it, and Otto looks shocked,
12:09
and then he smiles and he's like, I like a man who can
12:11
decide quickly. I actually really like Auto a lot, but you probably won't
12:18
find out why for a while. So I'll just tell you that. Then
12:22
we go to Auto and he's sitting in his you know, carriage wagon thing,
12:26
and Julius to Subaru says, I'll send EO with you. I wish
12:31
I could accompany you myself, but and like Ea flies over to Subaru and
12:37
Felix is, like, with all those injuries, how could you even help
12:39
them? Your man is not restored yet either, and Subaru says, you
12:43
just get some rests. Once this is over, we'll celebrate. I'll make
12:48
sure to invite you, so don't die, and Felix says, don't you
12:50
die either, and Julius says, good luck. And then we cut to
12:54
Auto and Subaru traveling, and Otto says, rather than take the row,
13:00
it's faster to go through the glade on the left. It's the shortest way,
13:03
and they like kind of cut off the path and into the woods,
13:07
and Suber says, man soul of language, divine protection is amazing. I
13:11
don't know if we've learned about what his power is yet, but we're gonna
13:15
learn about it now. And Otto says, I had a hard time learning
13:18
to control it, since I can hear all creatures voices from ground dragons to
13:20
insects, and Super says, but if we choose our path based on what
13:24
they say, this short cut will work. Catching up to a million the
13:28
kids will be easy, and Otto's like, what are you talking about.
13:31
It won't be easy at all. And then they just dry, like straight
13:33
off a cliff and they're just running down the side of the cliff face and
13:37
Super screams, and then we cut to them crossing a wood bridge that is
13:41
falling apart as they cross it, and Suber scream some more and Super is
13:46
like, we're gonna die at this rate. We're seriously gonna die. An
13:50
Auto looks happy, He's like on an adrenaline high, and he says,
13:56
what is this? I feel the wind hitting me. Honestly, I had
14:00
no idea I was even capable of this. And then he suddenly looks startled
14:03
and he looks at the side, and Super is like, what is it?
14:07
What's wrong? And Otto says, the trees are so loud. The
14:11
birds and bugs began to make a lot of noise and then they just vanished.
14:15
Uh, oh, you know what they say about when the forest gets
14:16
quiet. I don't know. They say something though, and then we see
14:22
animals running and hiding and birds flying away from them, and Otto's like something's,
14:30
something's coming, and they look around and then Subro seems to focus in
14:33
on a spot behind them, and then all of a sudden, the trees
14:37
start being pushed down by something shadowy and large, and Subro's like, faster,
14:43
auto, don't get caught, no matter what. And I don't know
14:46
what it is at this point, and he runs to the back of the
14:50
carriage and Otto's like nazki san and Suber's like, just how persistent are you?
14:54
Damn it? And we see that it is beetlejuice, and he's like
14:58
crawling on the ground with the unseen hands and he looks like a corpse,
15:01
like he doesn't have eyes. He does black holes. Now, it's not
15:05
a good look. And he's like, my body, my fledged body,
15:11
Oh God. And then we cut to the caravan and they have just cleared
15:15
the forests and there are explosions going off in the distance and the kids like
15:20
cling to Amelia, and Amelia is like, it's okay, hang on tight,
15:22
there's nothing to fear. And then we hear Puck offscreen like he and
15:26
Amelia are talking telepathically, and he says that old man just ran into someone
15:31
behind us. They're fighting, and Amelia says, do you know how many?
15:37
And Puck's like a lot. And then we see what's happening with will
15:41
Helm and it's the cultists, and Puck's like, the old Man's power is
15:45
no joke. Seems like you and I won't be needed this time. Taking
15:48
physical form without a reason trains Manna and I don't want to end up being
15:52
a plaything for the kids, and Amelia's like, if your acuteness could help
15:56
everyone forget their fears, I think it might be worth it. And Puck
15:58
says, you say some scary things, my daughter, and then they go
16:03
over a bump and the children are like ah, and Emilia's like, don't
16:06
worry. Whatever happens, I'll protect you, and one of the kids is
16:08
like, we're fine, and another kid says, you don't have to worry
16:11
about us, and then one other kid is like, we made a promise,
16:15
so this is nothing, and Amelia says promise and that first kid is
16:19
like that we wouldn't let you go, and another kid says, because if
16:23
we aren't with you, you'll do something crazy, and then that third kid's
16:27
like he'll worry if someone doesn't watch you, and Amelia says, worry about
16:32
me? Who told you this? And Petro says, we can't tell.
16:37
And then the first kid's like Suberu, and that third kid's like Subrou said
16:41
it. He said you get lonely easily, and he was worried. And
16:45
then another kid's like Subro said wait, we weren't supposed to tell her,
16:48
and Petro's like, oh man, and Amelia looks back behind the cart,
16:52
and then we cut back to Subaru and Otto, who are now being chased
16:56
by beal Juice, and Otto's like, Natski is something behind and Suber says,
17:00
just some big black animal. It has a wild voice in a scary
17:04
face, so you're better off not looking. And Otto's like those things only
17:07
make me more curious, and Suber's like, forget it, just drive.
17:11
If it bites me, it'll munch on you next. And I was like
17:15
yikes, And then super turns back to Beetlejuice and it's like, how many
17:18
times do we have to play this last level? What about you? Is
17:22
slothful? Now? You uselessly hard worker? And Beetlejuice is like, which
17:26
Satella, give me love? Love, love, and he just keeps saying
17:30
love, love, love as Suber talks and he says, she doesn't love
17:34
you or me? In what kind of rom com does someone try to squash
17:41
their love's heart, And Beetlejuice is going like sata la, sata la,
17:44
sat de la, and Suber says, I'm your opponent. I won't let
17:48
you pass me, and I absolutely won't let you get to the kid in
17:52
front of me, and Otto starts crying and he's like, you care about
17:56
me that much? And Super is like, will you be quiet, I'm
17:57
trying to make myself look and then one of the hands like grabs the outside
18:03
of the carriage and another hand kind of goes inside and Super starts kicking at
18:07
it, and I was like, we're leaving the forest, and they do
18:10
in fact leave the forest and they are now traveling down a grassy slope,
18:14
and Beetlejuice is also, I forgot to tell you, bleeding from his eye
18:18
holes, which makes sense because there aren't eyes in them. And I also
18:21
just want to point out that usually when you die, if a scavenging animal
18:26
is going to eat your corpse or any animal's corpse, they start with the
18:30
eyes, so maybe he was a little dead for a while and something just
18:33
ate out his eyes and now you know, yay, so bleeding from his
18:37
eyes and he's like, love love love me, love alone is everything,
18:41
and Suber is like, I can't take you with me to where Amelia is.
18:45
And he starts like throwing pots at him, like you know, there's
18:48
just some pots, earthen pots in the carriage, and one of them like
18:53
smacks him in the head and it breaks and something spills on him, and
19:00
at this point I was like, I bet you that's oil, and Subru
19:03
says, I'm gonna need your strength, Julius, and he points his finger
19:08
and a little reddish orb shows up, which I guess is io, but
19:11
I'm not really sure. And Subru says rental goa, which is a terrible
19:17
name for a spell because it has the word rental in it, but whatever,
19:22
and the orb shoots towards beetlejuice and it hits him and he erupts into
19:26
flames. At least the corpse part of him does. The unseen hands don't
19:32
because they're not really real, but whatever, But despite being on fire,
19:36
he is still chasing the carriage and the unseen hands are like clawing at the
19:41
back of the carriage and they're like really messing it up. It's rocking enough
19:44
that Suber kind of falls over and further back inside, and he's like,
19:48
shit, that hurts. And Beetlejuice, who is still on fire, starts
19:52
clinging to the carriage and he's like, give it to me, hand it
19:55
over, relinquish it. And Suber's like, I told you, if you
19:57
try to enter my body, you're gonna get hurt. And Beetlejuice is still
20:02
destroying the carriage and he's like the witch, Seatella, Satella, I haven't
20:06
forgotten a single moment of the things you did for me, even if you've
20:08
forgotten all all. And he starts crying and he's like, with all my
20:14
diligence, I'll part with my sloughful self and repay your love. And Super
20:18
is like, you know, if you'd stayed a monster, you might have
20:19
beaten me. It's true. He is starting to really humanize himself here,
20:26
and Suber throws the Gospel like passed him out of the carriage. Beetlejuice sees
20:30
it and he grasps it and he says, satella, And while he's kind
20:37
of distracted. Subrou is able to punch him, and he loses I guess,
20:41
most of his grip on the cart and falls off, like I thought
20:42
he fell off fully, but I think he just kind of fell I'm not
20:47
really sure, Like he's just not on the cart as much as he was.
20:51
And this causes him to lose hold of the Gospel and falls back into
20:56
the carriage with Subaru, and Beetlejuice is like, I I will not I
21:00
won't let it end. It hasn't ended, and Subru picks up the Gospel
21:04
and opens it and with his blood, his finger blood, I guess he
21:10
writes something inside and he says, no, it's over, as of now
21:15
you are finished, and he holds up what he wrote in the Gospel and
21:18
it says the end in Japanese as far as I can tell, and beal
21:22
Juice finally loses his grip and he says, naski Subaru, and he tries
21:29
to reach for Subaru, but his hand kind of dissipates, and all of
21:33
the unseen hands dissipate, and that's it, and Subaru sighs, and it's
21:41
like this time, stay asleep forever. And then Otto's like Naski said,
21:47
look, and Subaru runs to the front and they've made it to where Wilhelm
21:51
is fighting those cultists, and Subaru asks where a Milia is and he points,
21:56
and Wilhelm's like, just ahead, go straight towards the great tree,
21:59
you mean, the one that they knocked over. And then the coldest kind
22:02
of like start following after them, but willhelp cuts him down, and he's
22:04
like, this is the perfect chance for me to repay my debt. Who
22:07
can stand in the way of a man on the way to see a woman?
22:11
So they continue until finally they see it, and Otto's like, I
22:17
can see it. I know that's the carriage with the refugees, and Subru
22:22
is thinking about a million and stuff, and he thinks, back then,
22:25
I promised, and we see that he's thinking of the very first sloop where
22:30
he's holding Amelia's hand. Is they both died and he says, no matter
22:33
what it takes, and he kind of flexes his hand thinking about holding her
22:37
hand, and he says, I'm going to save you. And then we
22:41
go to Amelia with the kids, and Puck still telepathically is like you're thinking
22:48
about Suberu and Amelia says, yeah, but I still can't believe it.
22:52
And Puck's like, if he really is leading the army, lots of things
22:56
make sense, like why Ram didn't argue and why the villagers agree to evacuate,
23:00
And Amelia's like, but why after all the pain and summering he went
23:04
through after I made him look so sad, why would he? Oh my
23:10
god, Amelia. And then the cart shakes and Puck's like, something big
23:15
is coming up behind us, and all the carts suddenly come to a screeching
23:19
halt, and then Subrou jumps into the back of their cart. Oh my
23:23
god, and Amelia looks surprised, and they like stare at each other for
23:26
a second, and Subru has this incredibly pained expression on his face, but
23:32
then he shakes it off and he just starts looking around and he sees an
23:36
uneven spot of the floor and he just runs over and he rips up the
23:38
floorboards and there it is the bag of fire things, and he's like,
23:45
I found it. And then Puck actually appears and he's like, I thought
23:48
this reunion was a little sudden, so that's why you're here, and he
23:52
grabs the bag and he just runs out of the cart and Amelia's like wait
23:56
and she runs to the back and see Suber's already on Patrasie and she's like
24:03
why and Subrou turns back and he says, I love you, Amelia,
24:07
and she's like so confused, and then he just takes off. So Subrou
24:11
is riding away from the carriages and the bag is like steaming or burning or
24:18
it's doing something with smoke, and he's thinking about Amelia and he's like,
24:23
shit, get there in time. And he makes it to like, I
24:26
guess this cave that he was looking for or something, and he tosses the
24:30
bag inside and then he turns and starts to try to move away as fast
24:34
as possible, but he doesn't get very far and it explodes and he's knocked
24:40
from Patrasie, and everybody in that convoy sees the explosion and they actually get
24:47
a shock wave, knocking them back a little. And Amelia of course knows
24:51
exactly what happened and runs to find him, and then we fade to black
24:56
and then to white, and we hear Suber say, where am I?
25:02
I can't see anything? Is that which lady coming to grab my heart again?
25:07
I don't feel too bad though, and then we hear, kind of
25:11
muffled in the distance, Amelia say SUPERU, and then a little bit closer,
25:15
SUPERU, and super is like, oh hey, I can hear after
25:19
all. And then we see Amelia searching for him in the smoke and she
25:26
catches something out of the corner of her eye and she rushes over and it's
25:29
Suberu laying on the ground with Patrosia next to him, and he looks like
25:36
he's passed out, but he kind of stirs a little bit, so we
25:37
know he's not dead, and Amelia falls kind of onto his chest and it's
25:42
like SUPERU. And then it's later and the sky is cleared and the wind
25:49
rustles through the open field and super opens his eyes and Amelia is staring directly
25:55
at him and his head is on her lap, and Amelia's like, awake,
26:00
thank God, I'm so glad. And Subro, you know, he
26:03
suddenly becomes a little bit more aware of the situation, and he's like,
26:07
I'm lying down. Amelia's kneeling and considering our distance and the heavenly sensation under
26:14
my head, and Emia's like, you don't have to go through all that.
26:17
Your head is on my lap. It isn't uncomfortable, is it?
26:21
And Suber is like, I know of no finer, more divine pillow and
26:25
she smiles and he says, can I ask you how things turned out?
26:30
And Amelia's like, seriously, I'm the one who wants to know what's going
26:33
on, and Subro asks, is Patrosia okay? I want to become the
26:37
wind with that little guy again, and Amilia's like she was pretty burned,
26:41
but she'll be fine. Felix is looking after her, and Super is like,
26:47
oh he joined us too. Have I been out for a long time?
26:49
And Amelia's like it's been like an hour or two and Super says,
26:55
then everyone's together now, and Amelia's like, Julius too, I was really
27:00
surprised. I never expected to see you two together, and supers like it
27:04
was for reasons bluer than the mountains and taller than the seas. I think
27:08
you got it backwards. He kind of looks over at everyone down the hill
27:14
and he says, I finally made it back. I feel like I was
27:17
having a really long dream, a terrible dream. No it wasn't. And
27:22
Amelia's like a good dream then, and Super says a good reality. Back
27:27
then, you asked me why I saved you, Why I try so hard
27:32
at everything. You asked me why, And Amelia looks kind of sad and
27:36
she's like, yeah, you said it was because I saved you, but
27:38
I haven't done anything like that. She looks like she's gonna cry, and
27:42
she says, I've never been able to. You're the one always saving me.
27:47
I can never do anything for you, and yet you got yourself hurt
27:52
and said it was for my sake, and Suer is like, no,
27:55
I was messed up back then. I was only thinking of myself. I
27:59
said it was all for you when I was really just drunk on the idea
28:02
of doing it for you. I had it in my head that you'd accept
28:04
it. And Emeia says Super and Super is like, I'm sorry, I
28:11
use you for my own self satisfaction. Everything you said back then was true.
28:15
I was wrong, but there's one thing that I wasn't wrong about.
28:19
I want to save you. I want to help you. I honestly mean
28:23
that, and Emilia says, yeah, I know. Why do you always
28:29
save me? Super says because I love you? Why am I almost about
28:34
to cry now? And I want to be your strength, and Amelia is
28:41
really surprised and she starts to like tear up, and she's like, I'm
28:45
a half elf and super says I know. And Emelia says, I'm a
28:52
silver haired half elf and many people hate me because I look like the witch.
28:56
They despise me, they absolutely detest me. And suber says, I
29:00
saw, I know. Those guys are all blind, and Amelia says,
29:06
I don't have much experience with people, so I don't have friends. Naive
29:10
and not very worldly, so I say strange things sometimes. And the reason
29:15
I want to be the ruler is really really selfish. And Subero shakes his
29:21
head and is like, no matter what anyone says about you, no matter
29:25
what you think about yourself, I love you. I really love you like
29:29
crazy. I want to be with you for all time. If you need
29:33
ten things about yourself that you hate, I'll say two thousand things that I
29:36
love about you. And at this he sits up and says, that's the
29:40
kind of special treatment I want to give you. Oh, you're finally explaining
29:42
the special treatment thing, thank god, And Amelia starts to cry and she's
29:48
like, that's the first time I receive special treatment that made me happy.
29:52
Oh, And Subro wipes one of the tears from her face and she grabs
29:56
his hand with both hands and she says why two thousand and he says,
30:03
because one hundredfold isn't enough to express how I feel about you. Oh,
30:07
smooth there, And Amelia's like, I'm happy. I'm so happy, and
30:11
she's holding Subru's hand to her face and she says, I never imagined i'd
30:17
see the day where someone told me they loved me. What should I do?
30:21
You've told me so many of your feelings, but I don't know what
30:22
to do. And Suber's like, you don't have to stress over it.
30:26
I'm not demanding an answer right away. As far as I'm concerned, it's
30:30
written in stone that you'll give me an answer, and it'll be a positive
30:33
one at that. And then he gives her thumbs up, and Amelia says,
30:37
is that really all right for me? Someone like me to be given
30:41
such happiness all the time, shit, to be so overjoyed. I actually
30:47
feel like it's indulgent, and Subru says, sure it is. Go on
30:51
and be indulgent. You can never have too much happiness if you have so
30:56
much that overflows. You can always share it. Take your time, Amelia,
31:00
you can take your time and slowly, steadily fall in love with me.
31:03
I'll do my best so I can walk by your side, so you'll
31:06
fall head over heels from me. And he kind of like winks, and
31:08
Emilias smiles and cries, and then she says, thank you, Subro for
31:15
saving me, and Subaru looks a little shocked, and then he smiles and
31:18
he opens his mouth to say something, and then we go to the title
31:22
screen and then credits, and that's it. Yay, we did it,
31:29
folks, we finished the first season of Maree zero. Oh my god,
31:32
did you really think we were going to do it? I mean, I
31:34
hope so, because that's the point of the podcast right now. But if
31:38
you didn't see we did or something. Anyway, this is one of my
31:44
favorite anime. I'm sure you already know that, probably because I've already said
31:48
it. It's usually in my top three in case you're interested. Number one
31:52
is mob Cycle one hundred. Number two is usually eighty six, and this
31:57
is usually number one three, but the top five kind of move around a
32:01
little bit depending on how I feel. So I love this. I love
32:07
the character development here. I think the whole ending scene with Superu and Amelia,
32:10
which is pretty long, actually is really really good. I think that
32:15
kind of one of the strengths of Bree zero is the dialogue, and that
32:21
probably comes from the fact that this was not originally a manga. It was
32:24
a light novel, so it's more like a book than it is a comic.
32:30
So you have dialogue really shining because it has to. But I obviously
32:37
think that Amelia has feelings for him and that she is just so fucking confused
32:43
about the way that he feels about her, and it's very sad that she
32:46
doesn't believe that she deserves love, because she does. We all deserve love,
32:52
except for me, So remember that you deserve love too. Even if
32:59
you're not a silver haired half elf, you still deserve love. I don't
33:05
know where this is going, but I think this is a great ending episode.
33:09
It made me feel satisfied enough that when I saw it, I didn't
33:14
feel super disappointed that I didn't know if it was gonna have a second season
33:19
or not, even though it did. It was a nice ending point,
33:22
is what I'm trying to say. I also just wanted to clarify some things
33:25
about Beetlejuice. As far as I know, as I've looked up into it,
33:30
I guess he just died because he was dying. It's not like super
33:34
writing the end in his book killed him or anything. Apparently. I guess
33:39
in the light novels we know this, but we don't know this in the
33:44
anime because I didn't explain it. But like brown dragons have some sort of
33:46
blessing on them that creates like a barrier or whatever around them, and I
33:52
guess around the carriages. So for a while their Beetlejuice was in the blessing
33:57
barrier. But then he kind of like fell out, and then that's why
34:00
I don't know, guys. All I know is he died, and honestly,
34:04
after watching the second season, it was a little sad. So that's
34:07
gonna be fun. I mean, for you, I assume you're probably gonna
34:10
watch the second season. I'm not going to do the second season, at
34:15
least not anytime in the near future. Maybe eventually. But it's another like
34:19
twenty five episodes, I think, and they're all like super long again,
34:22
and they don't have openings or endings. There were episodes that just didn't have
34:27
commercial breaks at all and are like thirty one minutes, so that's a lot
34:30
of writing. But yeah, I hope that you do watch the second season
34:36
after this. And I wanted to point out that between this and the second
34:40
season there were two OVA's, which is original video animation, which I don't
34:46
know if they're called OVAs anymore because we didn't really watch things in video type
34:51
format, but let's assume they're ovias, and they are Memory Snow and Frozen
34:57
Bond, and they are both canon by the way. Memory Snow is just
35:01
kind of a side story of something that happened in one of the arcs when
35:07
Suberu was still in the mansion. It doesn't take place between the first and
35:12
the second season, so you can actually watch it at any time now,
35:15
and I thought it was just okay personally. And Frozen Bond is actually like
35:21
an Amelia prequel, like we learn about her past and stuff. And also,
35:24
you don't have to watch that before the second season, but I actually
35:28
think you should because you're gonna learn some really interesting things about Amelia that kind
35:35
of humanize her a little bit more. So definitely watch it. And I
35:37
really liked that one too, so yeah, and in case you don't know,
35:44
because I don't know that if I've said it or not. There is
35:46
a third season of Ree zero on the way. We are hoping it's sometime
35:50
in twenty twenty four, but they haven't announced when it's going to be airing
35:53
yet. But everyone's pretty excited about that, So yeah, get excited,
35:59
or what I'm saying. So yeah, I think the strengths of Rezero are
36:02
just the dialogue, the growth that Suber has. I mean, I just
36:07
think it's a cool, interesting story, and I like that he dies a
36:10
lot, and I like that he is a failable, imperfect main character who
36:19
really really gets to redeem himself and really gets to learn from his mistakes and
36:24
has mistakes that aren't immediately fixable. You know. I think those are all
36:30
huge strengths that I don't actually see a lot in anime. So yeah,
36:36
I really really like Rezero, is what I'm saying. And that's pretty much
36:40
it. So again, I hope that you enjoyed this. If not,
36:43
that's cool too. You have your own opinions. You've been hanging out with
36:47
me for twenty five episodes, so I hope that you at least hatelessened If
36:52
you didn't like it, but yeah, whatever, So, as I said
36:58
earlier at the beginning, there are a couple more things I wanted to cover
37:00
before we go again first, and for most whatever that means, I am
37:08
taking the rest of Winter Season twenty twenty four off because I just need to
37:15
do other things, I guess, and I will be back Spring twenty twenty
37:19
four, which at the moment, I'm probably going to do Tokyo Revengers,
37:23
which is twenty four episodes, so we will run that until we hit the
37:29
fall and do the don Dahn. I think if I change that plan,
37:35
I'll let you guys know, because I do have some thoughts like maybe I
37:37
should do Momsco one hundred the first season, or like maybe I should do
37:42
eighty six since they're like really good and it might be fun. I don't
37:45
know, so I'm still thinking about it, but you'll find out sooner or
37:49
later or something. Yeay. And again, if you have any ideas,
37:55
you could tell me that you don't have to. You could also just leave
38:00
me hate mail and I'll cry. I don't know, whatever you want.
38:05
And then the other thing is I just wanted to very quickly talk about the
38:08
shows from last season that I liked in case you haven't watched them, and
38:14
the ones that have started in winter season. So in fall twenty twenty three,
38:19
there were only a few shows that I ended up really liking. Despite
38:23
what anyone else said, I liked the second season of Jiu Jitsu Kaisen a
38:28
lot. I will say though, that I do understand people's criticisms of it.
38:34
A lot of people were saying like they didn't feel like they knew the
38:37
characters enough when they died. They didn't feel like it was enough emotional impact,
38:39
and I think that they're just kind of missing what the problem is.
38:44
The problem is that we after the first season, as soon as we enter
38:49
should be ARC and beyond, we just stop having any sense of slice of
38:53
life at all. There's really nothing going on here except fighting, like fighting.
39:00
There's no comedy, which is okay. Sometimes there's really no drama.
39:05
There's really nothing except beatdowns. So I understand why people didn't feel as invested,
39:12
and I think that that's a really big weak point of the series,
39:15
especially moving forward. I'm reading the manga. I'm a couple chapters behind,
39:20
though, because I don't actually enjoyed that much. So I started reading this
39:25
chapter that was out a couple weeks ago. I'm like two chapters behind,
39:29
I just said, and I like stopped after a couple of pages, and
39:31
I was like, hey, I'll get back to it. It's just you
39:35
need something besides fighting for the fighting to be important, I think. And
39:39
there's also a bunch of new characters that I'm not even sure who they are,
39:43
but that's okay, which is interesting because if you take something like chainsaw
39:46
Man that from the beginning of part two has been almost all drama, it's
39:52
so weird how this series have diverged. But chainsaw Man is continuing to be
39:58
really really interesting and really engrossing. And any new characters that they've added in
40:05
the second part, including Asa and Yuru, are really interesting, Like I
40:08
want to know what happens with them. It's not like a character that they
40:12
were like we just put him here or they have a power now, Like,
40:15
they're really interesting, fleshed out characters. So I'm just saying I really
40:17
like chanceaw Man, I guess, but I'm gonna stop talking about that now.
40:22
If you like shown in I do think you should watch Jujitsu Uisen I
40:25
do so, do it or not? I don't know. Then at the
40:30
beginning of last season I mentioned Apothecary Diaries and I had seen one episode and
40:36
I was like, I don't know if I'm gonna like this. I don't
40:37
know about the main character. I don't know if this is good writing or
40:39
not. Yeah, I'm stupid. It's really good if you like Shojo and
40:45
you're okay with kind of self contained episodes, like I think that there might
40:51
be a running plot in there summer, but it's very very in the background.
40:54
It's kind of like solving mysteries and stuff. But Showjo then and you
41:00
should watch this. The main character is super weird and I really like her
41:05
and the kind of love interest jin. She is pretty cool too, So
41:08
like, yeah, I would get this a shot. Other than that,
41:13
there was so so no Freren, which is Freeran Beyond the Journey Ends I
41:17
think is the English title. It has been consistently very very well produced.
41:22
It's a really interesting story. If you haven't been watching it and you like
41:28
fantasy, this is one that you should get on. Yeah. It's really
41:32
very good, and it's really very nice to see something produced by Madhouse,
41:38
you know, being pretty cool again because they've kind of been in and out
41:44
of making good anime for a long time. And again this is the one
41:47
that was directed by the Boat of the Rock director, who I love.
41:52
So it's really good. It's not my favorite thing ever, it will probably
41:57
never be one of my favorite shows, but that's probably just on personal preference,
42:01
because I really really think it's good. And at the very end of
42:06
last season, the rest of zomb one hundred came out because it kept being
42:10
delayed because of the production problems, and it was totally fine. Yeah,
42:15
it was fine. That's all I can really say about that. And I
42:21
also just wanted to mention Undead Unluck, which is also kind of a shonon
42:27
in battle shown in thing. I really want to like this, and I
42:32
kind of in and out find it not engaging. Every once in a while
42:37
they'll drop something about the universe and I'll just go like, what the fuck
42:42
what is going on here? And I want to know more because there were
42:45
like no days of the week or something, and there was like no stars
42:51
in the sky and shit, it's really interesting, but in general, like
42:54
the fights, not really invested in them. So I'm continuing to watch this,
43:00
but that's okay. Now talking about the current Winter twenty twenty four season
43:07
that we're about two or three weeks in. There's not a lot new that
43:09
I'm watching, but I will tell you shows that are continuing that I'm watching
43:13
Our Apothecary Diaries that's having a two core and so so no Free Run,
43:16
which is continuing as well, and I'm still kind of watching on ned Unluck
43:21
because it's getting like twenty four episodes as well. The two shows, however,
43:24
that are new that I'm very interested in ish first and least really is
43:30
Metallic Rouge, which I don't even know what it's about. It's like the
43:34
future, and I think they're like a Mars and there's like people and like
43:39
androids or cyborgs. I'm not really sure which one, and I'm pretty sure
43:45
that they're like the cyborgs are like second class citizens, and there's like people
43:51
in like suits fighting other people or something. I didn't really like the first
43:55
episode, actually, but I thought the second episode was really interesting, maybe
44:00
formulate. It kind of reminded me of a Trygun episode specifically, but I
44:04
thought the interactions between characters, the main two characters were really really good,
44:07
and there were also like all these new kind of like characters are probably only
44:10
stick around for an episode or so that I actually liked all of them,
44:15
so like, I think they're doing a pretty good job so far, and
44:17
it is done by Studio Bones, which is one of my favorite studios.
44:22
They are just really good at doing animation, so gonna stick around for that.
44:28
And then my absolute favorite thing that's happening right now is Dungeon Meshi,
44:32
which is translated I think to Delicious in Dungeon, which I think is a
44:37
terrible translation. I think delicious Dungeon would have just been better, or Dungeon
44:43
food, which is what it literally translates to, or food Dungeon even but
44:47
Dungeon Meshi is a basically D and D inspired thing, but like they're in
44:54
a dungeon trying to save someone and as they go find monsters to eat,
45:02
like they're they kill things and then they eat them. I know that doesn't
45:06
sound good, but it's been really good so far. In the third episode,
45:09
which just stared a couple days ago, was like really good, and
45:14
it is being done by Studio Trigger, which is one of my favorite studios
45:19
and probably my favorite studio for like stylistic animation and actual fluid animation They just
45:24
do some really cool things. You may know them from Kill a Kill or
45:30
I think Little Witch Academia, that BNA thing, Brand New Animal. They
45:36
just have a very specific style that I love, and I am pretty invested
45:43
in the story already. I really like the characters. I really like the
45:45
take on this genre so far. So yeah, if that sounds good to
45:51
you, which it probably doesn't because I don't think I explained it very well,
45:54
please please go watch it. It just started, and I believe it
45:58
is two cores, so we're gonna have a continuous like twenty four episodes or
46:02
something, so that'll be cool. I think I said everything I needed to
46:07
say, and I just wanted to thank you again for listening and continuing to
46:12
listen because I really don't know why you are. It scares me a little.
46:15
Why do you want to hear me talk? But I do really really
46:20
appreciate it, because like I don't know what I'm doing. Guys, everything
46:27
sucks all the time. So yeah, I don't know. I just I'm
46:32
glad that anybody is listening or something. I appreciate it. So yeah,
46:39
I hope you have a really good whatever, and I will see you soonish
46:45
and you know a bunch of weeks, so see you bye bye
