• 1:16
  So Shelby Shelby. How, how did you feel like this
• 1:27
  year went in general for for anime?
• 1:33
  I think that this year went pretty, pretty well.
• 1:37
  It was a jam-packed here. I know that we met online so
• 1:42
  you've been monitoring, how many anime that I've been watching?
• 1:46
  And for those of you who do not know me, let me briefly
• 1:48
  introduce myself. I'm Shelby Rob and I have met on
• 1:52
  Twitter and as recently as this year, I've met not only robbed
• 1:58
  but a whole bunch of people who are in the anime community.
• 2:02
  And and so I've been able to be immersed in a lot of different
• 2:08
  content and a lot of different genres than I normally would
• 2:11
  have been. So I do feel like I have some
• 2:16
  things to say. So I'm also a part of slice of
• 2:19
  Anime Network. We focus on anime.
• 2:23
  Manga news, that relates to us over here in the Americas and on
• 2:30
  my own channels. I also talked about Anime
• 2:32
  discussions and have discourse and such like that, give
• 2:35
  recommendations. So, super thankful to be here,
• 2:38
  and really happy to talk about anime.
• 2:40
  Yes, indeed. And I'm so glad to have you here
• 2:44
  and also, like Chevy Mission or any who?
• 2:49
  Sorry? I'm getting tongue-tied, Man.
• 2:51
  Shelby, I also got to meet in person at dream con this past
• 2:55
  summer. So you did so and you didn't
• 2:59
  recognize me? No.
• 3:10
  Just like your pictures. Yes yes.
• 3:14
  It was a it was an awesome meeting.
• 3:17
  We definitely immediately immediately vibed and connected.
• 3:22
  I was like, yeah, Shelby is a cool person and we're going to
• 3:27
  have a great time and we definitely did and so So, so
• 3:33
  yeah. So, and as, for myself this
• 3:36
  year, I agreed, this was definitely a jam-packed year.
• 3:45
  Sometimes I think, I don't know if going into this year, I don't
• 3:49
  think I had too many expectations as far as like, oh,
• 3:52
  there's a bunch of stuff that there were like, a few things,
• 3:55
  kind of hearing their, there were kind of on my radar, but
• 4:00
  when I'm kind of, like, looking at my list, I don't really know.
• 4:07
  I don't think anything that's on my on my top 10 is anything that
• 4:11
  I even really even knew about going into this year.
• 4:14
  Maybe a couple of things I may be at least like knew were
• 4:17
  coming but yeah, yeah, I feel like this year was a little was
• 4:22
  full of a lot of great and welcome surprises for sure.
• 4:28
  No, I agree. I agree.
• 4:30
  I think I have one. Well, let me look, I'm looking
• 4:34
  over at my list. I have to say Things that I knew
• 4:38
  for sure. We're coming out prior to one of
• 4:42
  which is my top. I never won.
• 4:46
  I didn't expect it to be my number one, I had casually heard
• 4:50
  of it. But I do think that this year
• 4:52
  was a jam-packed here. I think that manga creators, and
• 5:01
  everyone who was involved in putting at putting forth anime
• 5:04
  have seen the big That it has had on the world as a whole.
• 5:10
  And so especially this year, they've just wanted to throw a
• 5:13
  whole bunch of content at us and to a certain extent.
• 5:16
  It was slightly overwhelming, but a pro of it would be that
• 5:21
  there is always something for you.
• 5:23
  No matter the genre are sub genres.
• 5:25
  So it really was. What do you like to see?
• 5:28
  And there's probably an anime out there for you?
• 5:30
  Yes, exactly. Exactly.
• 5:33
  And and I feel like it and granted, maybe this is also just
• 5:36
  partly Because we're a bit more active within the online
• 5:42
  community with this stuff, but I feel like I was saying a lot
• 5:45
  more people, branching out, and trying more new things then they
• 5:52
  might have before because because I was definitely
• 5:55
  talking, nothing recommendation for sure.
• 5:58
  And I definitely appreciate all the people yourself included.
• 6:02
  There were doing threads of a. Hey, here's what I'm looking for
• 6:06
  the season. For this year because because it
• 6:10
  kind of felt like doing threads, like that.
• 6:14
  It's kind of great for both, you know, for yourself to just kind
• 6:17
  of help you keep track of stuff. But for somebody that has okay,
• 6:21
  I know me and this person have a similar taste in anime.
• 6:26
  I see them talking about this one.
• 6:27
  Do they have a whole thread? What else is in this thread that
• 6:30
  I might be you know interested in and stuff so yeah yeah no I
• 6:35
  totally agree with you. You, I got the idea of making a
• 6:39
  thread later, on, in the year, I still had to go back and
• 6:43
  remember all of the anime that I had watched on January on.
• 6:47
  But I think I officially put the thread together in April.
• 6:51
  I joined Twitter or the anime Community specifically on
• 6:55
  Twitter around April and May. And so, as soon as I found all
• 7:02
  of these people online that do the same thing.
• 7:04
  I, you know, Not only was My whole bunch of people but I also
• 7:09
  was able to get so many recommendations be it manga or
• 7:13
  anime or anything under the sun. If it's just a TV show or
• 7:17
  anything like that. So I saw everyone doing threads
• 7:21
  and I obviously as you know why I'm here I love talking about
• 7:24
  anime and doing more deep dives into it.
• 7:27
  So I thought that was the most amazing thing because prior to
• 7:30
  finding the anime community on Twitter.
• 7:33
  I hadn't used Twitter before so I kind of created it on a whim
• 7:39
  to kind of be a burner account if you will and to just share
• 7:45
  different parts about myself or indulge in certain hobbies that
• 7:48
  I don't typically share on my all other social media
• 7:51
  platforms. Yeah, but then most of the
• 7:55
  things that I enjoy is centered around anime.
• 7:58
  So somewhere down the line, I found everyone.
• 8:01
  So I was super thankful and happy to see these other people
• 8:05
  creating these threads so that I can So grab some things and find
• 8:09
  recommendations. So to end my whole Spiel, I do
• 8:15
  think that we saw a lot of people watching different genres
• 8:19
  than they typically would. And that's exactly what happened
• 8:22
  for me and why some of these made my top 10?
• 8:26
  Yes. And and won't one last thing I
• 8:29
  want to recommend to this Museum, Watchers as well if
• 8:32
  you're not already using the site, a site that has been very
• 8:36
  helpful. For helping to, for myself to
• 8:39
  keep stuff, organized is analyst dotco.
• 8:44
  Good job. You use the good one?
• 8:47
  Yeah. That that site I'm trying to
• 8:50
  think probably, I probably learned about that same thing.
• 8:53
  Oh from from a polo until over on my chick waifu podcast
• 8:58
  because they, yeah, they talked about, they talk about it
• 9:01
  literally almost every episode in their podcast and it's a, you
• 9:06
  know, Him say a nap. Yeah.
• 9:08
  And like cuz I cuz because I'd always heard of the other kind
• 9:13
  of like anime last order. Yes, yes, yes.
• 9:16
  Yeah. And I kind of used that before
• 9:19
  and years passed but it was kind of.
• 9:22
  And so I thought this was the same thing until they actually
• 9:25
  spelled it out. I was like oh let me go look
• 9:27
  that up and then just the way everything is presented.
• 9:31
  Those are all the watch, my podcast.
• 9:33
  I have been watching. Y'all see me use it all the
• 9:36
  time. And so yeah, it is just very
• 9:38
  helpful, just to kind of like help keep yourself organized
• 9:41
  with, you know, stuff that you've washed in the past a few
• 9:45
  looking forward to watching or reading because they also have
• 9:47
  manga on there and they have live timers for all the shows.
• 9:54
  So, you know, if you happen to be out on vacation or just
• 9:58
  whatever, you've had a busy week and you're like, white, did I
• 10:00
  watch everything this week as I do I'm an episode or two behind
• 10:03
  on whatever show so bias. I just wanted to make sure I
• 10:07
  mention that because yeah, because yeah, it is.
• 10:11
  It is very helpful. I love that.
• 10:13
  I cosine it. I tell everyone to transfer over
• 10:16
  to the app. If they have the other one, I
• 10:18
  say no, I absolutely love my auntie list is what it is called
• 10:25
  on the app version or an eel is Taco.
• 10:27
  So it keeps everything up to date and on their Discovery.
• 10:31
  They also have what is popular and for the upcoming season this
• 10:35
  season all time. Time.
• 10:37
  It is very good to keep all of your things sorted and they give
• 10:41
  you updates on when the episodes are dropping and when the next
• 10:45
  one will be, so love that up. Yeah.
• 10:47
  Yeah, all right, shall be so are you ready to Dive Into The
• 10:53
  Gauntlet of? I'm very ready.
• 10:56
  I'm super excited. So for our list, dear, dear
• 11:01
  listeners. So we both have put together a
• 11:06
  top. And what we wash this year.
• 11:10
  Now I caveat some of the stuff on our list might be stuff that
• 11:14
  if they might have came out from previous years but this is just
• 11:18
  stuff that we watched this year regardless of when it might have
• 11:21
  released. So just because you know,
• 11:25
  there's always going to be somebody's first time hearing
• 11:27
  about a show whether it came out this year last year, five years
• 11:30
  ago, whatever. So the purpose of this like I
• 11:33
  said is just to kind of give you all some hopefully some dope
• 11:35
  recommendations. For some things that job might
• 11:38
  not have either seen or maybe even heard of potentially.
• 11:42
  And once we get done with our top 10, we will also go through
• 11:48
  some. Some they might have just barely
• 11:51
  missed our list cuz I know I was struggling earlier today, trying
• 11:55
  to like, okay, maybe if I do this and I started to pull the
• 12:01
  the this is my show move so I'm going to put two at once in one
• 12:05
  spot like No Robert. I'm trying to keep it so but
• 12:12
  yeah. So we're going to have some fun
• 12:14
  and we're going to get ready to dive in.
• 12:15
  So So starting off with our number Ten's and Shelby, I'll
• 12:22
  let you do the honors of going first.
• 12:24
  What is your number 10? Okay, my number 10 on my list is
• 12:32
  darling in the Franks. Mmm.
• 12:35
  So I don't know. Have you watched it before or
• 12:39
  read the Manga or even heard of it?
• 12:41
  Yes, absolutely. I am not a Mech anime fan.
• 12:45
  Well, I'll preface that with. It's not that I don't
• 12:48
  necessarily like it. I don't gravitate toward to it
• 12:51
  as much. Yeah.
• 12:54
  And I haven't had the history or background to really dive deep
• 12:59
  into it. So it's not that I'm not willing
• 13:01
  to do it because especially this year, I want to try as many
• 13:04
  different things as possible and so what I like, but I just don't
• 13:07
  typically gravitate towards it. But with darling in the Franks,
• 13:12
  it was a recommendation by a friend.
• 13:15
  Actually, I had lived in Asia a few years ago and China
• 13:22
  specifically and China is pretty clothes off to certain parts of
• 13:27
  the world. We had a anime community that we
• 13:31
  would talk about it with and discuss and so Crunchyroll is
• 13:35
  actually banned in China. And so you have to find other
• 13:39
  ways to watch your anime whether you download it.
• 13:41
  Etc. So, my friend who I had met in
• 13:45
  China, whose now back in the States, He follows my thread to
• 13:49
  and he said, no, you have to watch darling, the Franks, I
• 13:51
  just watched it. It's my top five of all.
• 13:53
  Time. I was like, whoa, top five.
• 13:56
  Now, I gotta see it. So it has made my top 10 of the
• 14:01
  year because I absolutely loved the second half of the season.
• 14:07
  I really enjoyed the post-apocalyptic World theme in
• 14:13
  not only the show but in some other shows also I find that
• 14:15
  interesting but I think that they took it to the next level
• 14:19
  in an another way of what if humans did this What if humans
• 14:24
  took it too far? I took science and their
• 14:28
  progression too far because people often look at
• 14:30
  post-apocalyptic worlds, as regressing and as like, you
• 14:35
  know, zombie lands or things like that.
• 14:37
  And so, I thought that darling in the frame said something a
• 14:39
  little bit different. Yeah, that I appreciate it.
• 14:42
  And I was like, wow. Now, I can see why this show is,
• 14:45
  is pulling people in the second half of the Season.
• 14:48
  Definitely was a lot more exciting than the first for me,
• 14:52
  but I enjoyed it that much. So it's my number 10 spot.
• 14:56
  Awesome awesome see. I already starting off with some
• 15:00
  surprises from for me. I know.
• 15:04
  Right. Who would have thought?
• 15:06
  Yes. Yeah I'm totally cuz I can't
• 15:10
  remember because so I'm trying to get my timelines right cuz
• 15:15
  Okay 2018. Yeah, yeah.
• 15:18
  I didn't remember watching that cuz I'm trying to say I feel
• 15:21
  like around that time frame. I was kind of just getting into
• 15:25
  watching a lot of Studio triggers, different anime and
• 15:30
  stuff because because I think because this one and then there
• 15:35
  was another one that they did. I think it was a kid's niver, I
• 15:39
  come if they commit, they came out the same year around the
• 15:42
  same time frame. But anyway, but by yeah, shout
• 15:46
  shout out to Darling, the Franks.
• 15:47
  Yeah. That that was a solid one.
• 15:50
  So So, in hearing your number 10, number 10.
• 16:01
  I don't know if I'll be able to keep pulling this up.
• 16:05
  I can get my stuff to cooperate with me.
• 16:10
  But my number 10 is one that came out earlier this year.
• 16:16
  Now, I'm not saying it was perfect by by any means, but it
• 16:26
  is one that had a very special spot in my heart this year.
• 16:30
  And that is so big. We bisco So, I don't know if
• 16:37
  you've heard of this one or you saw it.
• 16:42
  Yeah, so this one came out of retirement, for flies.
• 16:45
  It was it January or yeah January.
• 16:50
  So yeah, it started off this year.
• 16:53
  It's the one where it's best to kind of like sitting in kind of
• 16:57
  like a like a desert waste desert Wasteland type of setting
• 17:02
  and you had this guy who shot Rose That Grew mushrooms.
• 17:10
  Yeah, it was a very wild and fun anime.
• 17:16
  Now Myself included, I know a lot of people also, kind of
• 17:20
  hated how, like, some plot Point stuff went towards the end of
• 17:23
  the season, but I still enjoy just the whole journey and ride,
• 17:29
  just because it was just like this, just this wild crazy show.
• 17:34
  That honestly, kind of gave me some similar Vibes to one of my
• 17:39
  all-time favorites. Trigun likes to just because of
• 17:43
  the kind of like semi steampunk desert Wasteland world. and the
• 17:48
  main character has a giant bounty on his head because a lot
• 17:53
  of people in the world assume he's going around doing bad
• 17:57
  things, but he's actually trying to save the planet, but it's
• 18:01
  just that the, the government and different factions have kind
• 18:07
  of painted him and his Faction of people that he's with as bad
• 18:15
  guys. When it's like, actually know
• 18:16
  what they're doing is actually helping and saving the planet
• 18:20
  but but yeah, but overall it was just a just a fun time likes to
• 18:24
  just took tons of just unexpected surprises and stuff
• 18:28
  that happened throughout the anime including one very big one
• 18:32
  that happened like kind of like towards the end but yeah but
• 18:37
  that that is why that one is on my list because I kind of went
• 18:40
  back and forth on leaving punished Get on.
• 18:42
  But like I said, I just had just such a strong connection with
• 18:48
  their when it aired for, like I said, for a lot of those reasons
• 18:51
  that I mentioned earlier that I was like, you know what, I got a
• 18:55
  slide it in there, so so there's no, no, I can clear the way I
• 19:00
  can totally understand that. I have a few, that I wrestled
• 19:04
  with about putting on my top ten, especially as I got to the
• 19:09
  9 and 10th slot. So I understand.
• 19:13
  Yes, yes, it is. This is a struggle of some time.
• 19:17
  So, so on to the next one. So, what is your number nine?
• 19:24
  Well, my number nine, kind of similar to what you said might
• 19:28
  be. I guess controversial for some
• 19:31
  people but I really enjoyed it and it had a special place for
• 19:35
  me too. And it also came out in the
• 19:38
  beginning of this year. I think in January to so, or at
• 19:42
  least in the first season, I think winter 2022 sees.
• 19:47
  Yeah. So my number nine is my dress up
• 19:51
  darling. Yeah, okay.
• 19:57
  I really enjoyed my dress of drawing for a myriad of reasons
• 20:01
  I liked it because number one it's cosplay, I think that's
• 20:07
  cool. Number two, I really loved the
• 20:12
  connection between in Marin and what's his name?
• 20:19
  Do you remember? Go Joe.
• 20:22
  Well Joe yes Marin and go. Yes.
• 20:25
  See I knew it was like a name from another anime.
• 20:29
  I'm thinking about you know the good jumping around.
• 20:32
  Okay. So the connection in the
• 20:36
  chemistry between Marin and go, Joe, but in the in the sense of,
• 20:40
  she's the first person who really says, like what you like
• 20:45
  is cool, it doesn't matter if it's the most trendy thing or
• 20:49
  the best thing, like, if Like it.
• 20:51
  That's so cool. So I and I resonate with that
• 20:55
  because I say that to a lot of my friends and some people may
• 20:58
  also say to me that they appreciate that.
• 21:00
  Even if I'm not specifically interested in something, I'll
• 21:04
  still always that's really cool. And so I appreciated her showing
• 21:09
  him that different perspective and saying that you don't have
• 21:12
  to be embarrassed about the things that you like.
• 21:15
  The one thing I may say is we do know it is a little risque and
• 21:20
  so So, people may feel away because they are technically in
• 21:24
  high school. However, I have two things to
• 21:26
  say about that. Number one.
• 21:30
  Yes, maybe they could have AIDS them to college.
• 21:34
  Like they kind of did it and rent a girlfriend.
• 21:36
  But I'm also fine with that. It's not that there's a huge age
• 21:42
  Gap. They are both in high school,
• 21:43
  exploring things, and not for nothing.
• 21:47
  I really appreciated her personality in being like
• 21:50
  comfortable with her. Sexuality as a woman character
• 21:53
  and her being like, well what if I wanted this to happen?
• 21:57
  Because typically female anime characters are very shy.
• 22:02
  Very oh my god, there was blushing but Marin is like well
• 22:05
  what if I wanted that tab? So I liked it.
• 22:08
  I really enjoyed it. So that's my number 9.
• 22:10
  Yes yeah, shot shot shot out to you for mentioning that because
• 22:14
  that are you go inside. That was one that had just
• 22:17
  barely missed my list. I was struggling with so I was
• 22:20
  like Like I took a chance all over.
• 22:24
  I was like maybe it made Shelby's on my worst-case
• 22:26
  scenario. I'll mention it and my honorable
• 22:30
  mentions, but but yeah, I pretty much agree with you on
• 22:33
  everything you said about it. Yeah.
• 22:35
  It was just a it was just such a fun watch because like you said,
• 22:39
  first of all, the whole getting kind of like a, at least like,
• 22:44
  for me, as somebody who has never really done any cosplay
• 22:47
  stuff, whatever getting a deeper understanding.
• 22:51
  You have some of the different things people who make the
• 22:54
  costumes people who are actually wearing them the different
• 22:57
  things. You know, people have to go
• 22:59
  through or maybe even have to consider from making it to
• 23:03
  wearing it to excetera etc, etc. And yeah, it was just a super
• 23:08
  just a super awesome show over also so I'll some awesome pic.
• 23:13
  I agree. I was also wrestling with this
• 23:17
  one, this one. And another one that I put on my
• 23:20
  other comment. I understand how you feel.
• 23:25
  Yes. So for me, my next one is going
• 23:30
  to be your cooze has got to babysitting.
• 23:35
  Yay. This was my one.
• 23:41
  I'm trying to think of I'm trying to think if I had heard
• 23:45
  of it. I think I might have at least
• 23:47
  like heard of it before it aired or maybe at least in them.
• 23:51
  Longer something about at the store and so I was like, okay,
• 23:56
  you know what, I'ma give it a shot and I am so happy that I
• 24:02
  did because it has such a nice mix of sweet and wholesomeness
• 24:12
  but also some more serious darker Tom.
• 24:17
  I'm just kind of sprinkled throughout because Cuz jet just
• 24:21
  seeing the main character or the kirishima seeing kirishima.
• 24:30
  Kind of go from this, like, hardened jacuzzi guy to kind of
• 24:34
  slowly softening up and kind of becoming a father figure to this
• 24:38
  young girl. It was just so sweet and awesome
• 24:41
  to see, they're just watching that whole show.
• 24:47
  And I'm trying to think I'm honestly, but the whole cast
• 24:51
  because everybody else does kind of involved with the Yakuza
• 24:54
  family and stuff and just kind of seeing them seeing a change
• 25:00
  within kirishima, the little girl kind of her growing up and
• 25:06
  being more confident herself, making friends and overall it
• 25:09
  was just such a just a sweet, sweet show.
• 25:14
  I'm so glad you put it on your list because I have heard about
• 25:19
  this show before it became an anime and I've been waiting for
• 25:23
  it to come out and I haven't gotten around to watch it yet,
• 25:27
  but it really is. It's on my list of like the next
• 25:30
  thing that I'm going to get to but I was super excited about
• 25:34

• 25:41
  honorable mentions. Yeah.
• 25:44
  Kaku she-goat. Oh, my dad's secret ambition.

  So it could have been something else.
• 27:49
  I put that other thing that's not an alleged week.
• 27:53
  I can't wait to get to them because I really love, but for
• 28:00
  other reasons that I can't that I'll get to in a moment.
• 28:03
  My number eight was the new season of Demon, Slayer, nice,
• 28:08
  nice, nice. I have not read the Manga.
• 28:14
  I'm not considering the other opinions of people trying to
• 28:19
  sway me into thinking that Demon Slayer isn't cool.
• 28:22
  I like it. And I and for one thing I really
• 28:32
  enjoyed the the visuals it's the visuals that made it my number
• 28:37
  eight. Most of my pics are the
• 28:40
  storyline, the character development this and that, and
• 28:42
  this is simply, it looks beautiful.
• 28:45
  And I'm a person who before this year, this year, is the first
• 28:48
  time. I really dive deep into all
• 28:50
  these different genres and can speak on a whole bunch of
• 28:53
  things. But before that, I will be
• 28:55
  action-adventure shown in girl. Yeah, because And I was like
• 28:59
  seeing punch things seeing people flying and I love that,
• 29:02
  so to see it. So well, done and beautifully
• 29:06
  animated and in just something that I'm used to, I was like
• 29:11
  Demon Slayer, it did it for me especially the last fight.
• 29:14
  Come on. How can you not enjoy that
• 29:16
  fight? Yes, yes, yes, yes.
• 29:19
  And I know that that is an awesome pick and yet didn't Amos
• 29:23
  player continues to impress and deliver I am Say happy for
• 29:29
  people who have just stuck to just watching it only because as
• 29:36
  somebody I have read it I've read through the whole thing a
• 29:40
  couple years ago, but it's kind of like I'm like experiencing it
• 29:45
  again for the first time just because of how high the
• 29:48
  production value and stuff is for the anime as so.
• 29:53
  So yeah. So yeah, yeah.
• 29:54
  And like you said like, how can you not Love and be impressed
• 30:00
  with the fights and just like the and I'm really missing.
• 30:04
  I'm like yes, you see him through those moves and you tell
• 30:10
  me that's not cool. Come on, exactly, exactly,
• 30:14
  that's what I do. And, and, and good to know that
• 30:20
  you're not going to be having to wait too long because it's
• 30:22
  coming back in a few months. I'm so excited.
• 30:28
  I can't wait to continue. I want us to all the harsher, I
• 30:30
  want to see their different skills and the different moves
• 30:34
  that they have, and all of that super excited to see.
• 30:37
  Yes. Yes indeed.
• 30:40
  All right, so for my number eight, number eight, my number
• 30:46
  eight is a new anime from the current fall season.
• 30:55
  It is one. I had I had never Heard of
• 30:58
  before the season started, okay, but it stole my heart's, the the
• 31:05
  Cascade just stole my heart and that is Bochy, The Rock.
• 31:11
  Okay, very nice. Okay, good.
• 31:15
  Number e. Yes cuz I I had a Lynne hearing
• 31:20
  your opinion. Yeah, so so for Bochy The Rock
• 31:25
  on this way it pretty much follows this this young girl who
• 31:31
  at the beginning of the show she's in middle school and she
• 31:36
  is kind of wanted to make more friends and to get popular and
• 31:39
  stuff. Cough.
• 31:40
  And so she ends up taking up guitar.
• 31:45
  To as a way to kind of like, okay, you know what, I'm gonna
• 31:47
  learn guitar. My friend, people are accustomed
• 31:49
  to think about, it's good thing. I'm going to think I'm super
• 31:51
  cool or whatever, but she also has very bad anxiety.
• 31:55
  So she becomes very good at guitar, but nobody else knows.
• 32:01
  But she ends up becoming super famous on YouTube.
• 32:07
  So she ends up becoming a very popular person on YouTube, but
• 32:11
  nobody knows what she looks like though.
• 32:12
  She's just like a YouTuber. Just buy her, some music, or
• 32:16
  whatever. And I believe, I think, I think
• 32:18
  her, I think her YouTube name I think is like guitar o hero or
• 32:22
  Guitar Hero or something like that.
• 32:24
  And so but anyways, so best were started.
• 32:28
  But now with her going into high school, she's okay, I'ma try
• 32:33
  again to make friends and stuff. And so basically, it is just a
• 32:37
  story of her being meeting. These earlier other young girls
• 32:41
  and her school and they end up forming A rock band and it is
• 32:47
  just a super yes it is just a super sweet and wholesome show
• 32:55
  because like I said with the main character, her having her
• 33:00
  very bad anxiety. So she'll have moments to where,
• 33:04
  you know, she'll have to like turn her back so people can't
• 33:08
  see her face but she'll be like rocking out on the guitar or
• 33:11
  whatever and stuff like that but just slowly over the course of
• 33:14
  the show. Show you kind of start to see
• 33:16
  her kind of come out of her shell making friends and stuff.
• 33:20
  Whatever. So, but but yeah, but she's a
• 33:22
  rock is a super awesome gym that that I super highly recommend.
• 33:28
  So That's so great. I love that.
• 33:31
  You put it on the list. I recently heard about it after
• 33:37
  several episodes had already passed, but it on my radar here,
• 33:42
  ET, shut up some QT. He was raving about it on one of
• 33:49
  the Twitter spaces. And so I put it on my list
• 33:53
  because one, I love, Coney can't communicate.
• 33:56
  It is probably in my top ten like A of all time.
• 34:00
  And I really love for a myriad of reasons.
• 34:04
  I won't go into it right now, but for people who also have
• 34:07
  social anxiety, it's a great show to watch.
• 34:12
  And so I also have like a personal, you know, connection
• 34:16
  with it. So I feel like Bochy The Rock
• 34:18
  would be something that I would absolutely enjoy.
• 34:22
  I didn't watch it myself, but hearing you Rave about it and
• 34:25
  Huey's. And now I got watching.
• 34:27
  Yes, for sure. And And and the other cool thing
• 34:30
  about the show to access our from likes it, like just like a
• 34:33
  very awesome cast of characters and very Dope music throughout.
• 34:38
  They also do some, very cool stuff with the visuals and
• 34:44
  animation because they, they're constantly switch of the kind of
• 34:50
  like the art style too. Kind of like, kind of like
• 34:51
  represent. How Bochy is feeling?
• 34:56
  No with likes, what? She's like freaking out or just
• 34:59
  Like overthinking or whatever. So they're kind of like change
• 35:02
  of the kind of our style or whatever and it is just it is
• 35:05
  just a visual treat as well. No I'm definitely going to watch
• 35:09
  that. Yes sure, yes.
• 35:12
  All right, so up. Next number seven, what you got
• 35:17
  for a show? Well, number 7 is actually an
• 35:23
  anime that came out this year. I believe it was the summer
• 35:28
  season and it was also my first ever Sports Anime and that is
• 35:35
  Allah she I love how she loved it in a way that is actually
• 35:46
  different than block because I was very interested in seeing
• 35:51
  the differences in playing the game of soccer in block and I'll
• 35:55
  she and for people who do not know she is a soccer anime, it
• 36:00
  is a based around a sheeple, who is a forward and he wants to be
• 36:06
  the best. And Go on to the the j-league
• 36:09
  and Beyond. So you see his different
• 36:12
  struggles and you watch him, you know, learning different things,
• 36:16
  overcoming different hurdles and such in the game of soccer.
• 36:19
  If anybody has seen High Q it has a similar Vibe and if you
• 36:23
  love hike you like many people do then.
• 36:26
  I believe you would love a Tashi not just because of like the
• 36:30
  feeling and the character development and the teamwork but
• 36:33
  also it explains soccer and such a Way for people who don't
• 36:38
  understand the the game I am a sock former soccer player.
• 36:42
  And so, as my first sports anime ever, I was like, enthralled.
• 36:49
  I really, really loved seeing. It was, it was like, I've
• 36:53
  envisioned myself on the field back when I was in high school I
• 36:56
  saw and from the perspective of different players and the
• 37:00
  explanations that they were saying, I was like, that's
• 37:03
  exactly what my coach was saying.
• 37:04
  Those are the things that they talked about maybe I could Have
• 37:07
  been if I would have. Did it like this?
• 37:10
  Maybe then I could have been a star.
• 37:11
  I don't know. But I love.
• 37:14
  I do enjoy watching the game of soccer.
• 37:16
  So I thought this is this was fitting for me and in comparison
• 37:20
  to Blue walk for people who really like hardcore competition
• 37:25
  based anime, or if you like even tournament style kind of anime,
• 37:31
  then bluelock would be more for you if you like kuroko's
• 37:35
  basketball or something like that.
• 37:37
  Maybe. That would be for you.
• 37:38
  But for me, I like growth. I like to see you start here and
• 37:43
  not that he doesn't go through growth in Google but in a
• 37:45
  different way. Yes.
• 37:48
  So I just really enjoyed seeing that in a more wholesome.
• 37:53
  Not so aggressive. Yes, I love that.
• 37:58
  She a lot. That's my number seven.
• 38:00
  Very, very awesome pic. And I'll just say that that is
• 38:03
  on my list as well, because I hope it's not know who sent him.
• 38:09
  No, no hisses. It will appear later.
• 38:14
  I just want to mention are because just for anybody who's
• 38:16
  been following my pockets for a while and know how much I've
• 38:18
  talked about is like Robert, why have I have?
• 38:21
  You know yet but our I will expand upon what shall be said
• 38:29
  when I get to but I but I will go ahead and say though you
• 38:35
  pretty much picked the perfect comparisons because I think the
• 38:37
  same things for the people that are between this and blue.
• 38:42
  Like I'm like if you like haikyuu style the Sports Anime I
• 38:47
  Oishi if you like Kirk has no basket style Sports Anime
• 38:51
  bluelock. So you the whole time I was
• 38:54
  thinking in my head and you said the words I was like see that
• 38:57
  that's why I mean on the frame on the same way home.
• 39:02
  Yes. Before on your podcast then at
• 39:09
  least I can tell all of your listeners, he's not lying.
• 39:12
  Have to watch it so good. It would have made it higher,
• 39:16
  but as far as Sports Anime is concerned.
• 39:19
  It, it it makes my list, not only because I love it, but
• 39:24
  because it showed me that I don't necessarily have to be
• 39:28
  super into sports to be able to enjoy this.
• 39:32
  And there are different things that I, that I take away from
• 39:35
  Sports, Anime that I like, and so after, Watching that I
• 39:37
  started a whole bunch and was trying to find more like and
• 39:42
  didn't like and things like that.
• 39:43
  So, if you haven't watched The Sports Anime before and you're
• 39:46
  curious, I think it would be a nice one to start.
• 39:49
  Yes. Yes.
• 39:50
  I agree with you. So for my number seven, Y'all
• 39:57
  know. I I am one, I'm not afraid to
• 40:02
  admit that I love me some good Isa Kai's but I know to, I know
• 40:09
  some people are, oh my God, I'm terribly seasick eyes and to an
• 40:14
  extent, I understand. But y'all know me I am a man of
• 40:22
  refined taste, so only the best of the esocast.
• 40:26
  Sighs. Well, maybe this man subscribe
• 40:33
  and for me that is parallel world Pharmacy.
• 40:39
  Okay hey good choice. Yes so this is one like the
• 40:48
  become like the first thing that can I stood out to me is that it
• 40:52
  wasn't the typical. Oh you know person gets
• 40:55
  reincarnated They're super overpowered and they're going on
• 40:58
  some fantasy Adventure. No, we start off with a guy who
• 41:03
  is basically in the medical field and he dies from
• 41:07
  overworking himself and gets reincarnated into a fantasy
• 41:12
  world but what are the odds that he is reborn into a family of
• 41:17
  Pharmacists, everything. Yes.
• 41:23
  So funny, every is, the guy is we born into some Something that
• 41:26
  had to do with what you did. Yes.
• 41:28
  As so. And so, you know, that, that
• 41:32
  within itself is pretty cool, but I really enjoyed like the
• 41:38
  main character was super awesome because he legitimately cared
• 41:42
  about the people. He was trying to help with his
• 41:45
  medicines and stuff because, you know, the world he gets
• 41:49
  reincarnated into, it's kind of in a older time period.
• 41:53
  So a lot of things just like Modern-day a lot of stuff that
• 41:59
  somebody has a common cold. Okay.
• 42:02
  You know, go take some Tylenol and you're good to go.
• 42:07
  Well, you know, hundreds of years ago, you get a cold you
• 42:10
  die for, you know, and so, it was just kind of just
• 42:15
  interesting seeing him using his, modern-day medical
• 42:21
  knowledge to help. Bring newer treatments to these
• 42:29
  people, as well as like different ways of thinking as
• 42:34
  well to these people. Oh because also I forgot a big
• 42:38
  thing with him to is that with his ability one of his abilities
• 42:42
  he has he can pretty much create any element or whatever the he
• 42:47
  thinks of as long as he knows like the as long as he is long
• 42:51
  as he knows like the basically the ingredients to make Whatever
• 42:56
  thing says, okay, I know to cure this disease, it takes this
• 43:02
  medicine. Well, what are the ingredients
• 43:04
  of the medicine? It's not just oh, I need
• 43:06
  Tylenol. It is.
• 43:08
  What is the ingredients to make it?
• 43:11
  And so seeing that other element, just just made it just
• 43:17
  that much more, awesome. And so, and like I said, just
• 43:21
  saying, just as growth and him having a cool family, Family him
• 43:26
  having a course Supporting Cast of characters around him as well
• 43:30
  as why, you know, that this is one that, that made it up to my,
• 43:36
  to my number seven on the list. So, so yeah.
• 43:38
  So like say if you enjoy Isa cuz go check out parallel world
• 43:43
  Pharmacy. It was it was a very fun watch
• 43:45
  and super interesting because I too am a sick.
• 43:50
  I love her and I was if I'm going to, you know, rank my
• 43:55
  genres. It's We'll be in my top three
• 43:57
  that I would prefer to watch reason being for people who
• 44:01
  really like again. Like I mentioned action
• 44:04
  adventure but more on the adventure aspect on the World
• 44:07
  building if you even like World building type of games where
• 44:11
  you're exploring or format stuff then like it's like I might be
• 44:15
  something that you enjoy. I think people get tutored from
• 44:19
  the wrong titles and the oversaturation that's happened.
• 44:22
  As as recent as this year. Yeah.
• 44:26
  Especially after that time. I got reincarnated into slime
• 44:30
  which was the shirt I was gonna wear, but I wear this.
• 44:35
  But I always say a good is a chi is a great anime, like a really
• 44:41
  great. It's a chi is always like a
• 44:44
  great anime to me. But I think that other who may
• 44:48
  not gravitate towards it would still say the same with certain
• 44:52
  series that have gained a lot of popularity.
• 44:55
  I You have parallel world, Pharmacy on my list and I've had
• 44:59
  it since the season and because of a whole bunch of things, I
• 45:04
  haven't gotten around to watch it yet, but because I love the
• 45:08
  genre. I it's still on there and I'm
• 45:10
  really happy to hear how much you like it because it only
• 45:14
  makes me want to watch it like faster.
• 45:16
  Yes, yes, for sure. And so, so one of the quick I
• 45:23
  just want to mention as well with the holistic odd thing is
• 45:27
  that I feel like it is also kind of LED people to assuming the
• 45:33
  any time they see something that is like fantasy that it's a nice
• 45:37
  acai cuz cuz there was some show that's coming out for other for
• 45:43
  the winter 2023 season. And somebody had mentioned my,
• 45:49
  oh my God, another Isa car. And I had to tell him.
• 45:53
  I was like, no, it is not an Izakaya.
• 45:56
  Why? Well, this is just a fantasy
• 45:58
  show is just the regular his just a person in a fantasy
• 46:02
  world. So you know, but it is what it
• 46:07
  is. But by I just wanted to mention
• 46:10
  as just because you see somebody in a Fantastical setting that
• 46:16
  does not mean that it's a Mexican.
• 46:20
  All right. So on to number six, what is
• 46:25
  your number 6? Toby?
• 46:28
  My number six is actually a film.
• 46:32
  It is not. Yeah.
• 46:34
  It's not a series that it is a film and I'm a little late to
• 46:37
  watching it but it is, your name, very nice.
• 46:44
  I really enjoyed it. If you do not know for those of
• 46:51
  you who. Yeah, who did?
• 46:52
  I know? It is about two people who
• 46:58
  switch bodies in their sleep. And so a boy and a girl, Marin
• 47:04
  two, totally different locations, don't know, oh why
• 47:14
  they're connected, how they're connected.
• 47:17
  And we do find as of the, the different things that they had
• 47:19
  in it. I enjoyed the story, The Love
• 47:22
  Story behind it all. Squire Spike spectacular and
• 47:27
  that's why it's so high on my list for people who really enjoy
• 47:30
  like Studio Ghibli, that's definitely right up, your alley.
• 47:35
  I love the slow almost like b-roll of people break cracking
• 47:41
  an egg or making some food, or just ironing some clothes or
• 47:45
  like the way that the Chimes like move in the wind.
• 47:48
  Like it's just so beautiful. And I think Japan is also going
• 47:52
  to some of the most beautiful places I Love that.
• 47:56
  I love when they showcase the the scenery and stuff in Japan
• 48:00
  and more like those slower towns and stuff like that.
• 48:03
  So I really I really loved your name like so many reasons.
• 48:07
  So it is it. That's my number 6.
• 48:10
  Awesome, awesome. Yeah, I definitely have a Have
• 48:16
  great Mouton. Great memories of watching that
• 48:20
  when when they can actually no no I didn't watch it when it
• 48:23
  came. I remember I gotta I gotta run
• 48:24
  into it myself a little bit after the fact but it is
• 48:28
  definitely one of those ones that kind of gets a recommended,
• 48:33
  a lot for people and okay. Hey, I'm looking for for anime
• 48:37
  and stuff to watch and yeah, your name is definitely a noise
• 48:42
  up there. Yeah.
• 48:44
  Social nice. Yeah, exactly.
• 48:51
  I'm looking back over. I'm sorry.
• 48:55
  No, no, I'm sorry, what? What did you say?
• 48:58
  Oh no, I was saying that I'm looking back over at my list.
• 49:01
  That's why I keep looking and turning your head but I'm
• 49:04
  looking back, hold my list and I'm looking like some of these
• 49:10
  my honorable mentions I really like and and I'm like do I
• 49:16
  really want to keep some of them?
• 49:17
  But I'm keeping it. My list is my list, everyone and
• 49:19
  not moving it. But I will say that some of
• 49:22
  these but I put in my honorable mention I'm really struggling
• 49:25
  with keeping them there. So they're also very Additions.
• 49:29
  Yes, yes, I know that building. Like I said earlier is like,
• 49:33
  yeah I had that, I had that internal struggle of like yeah.
• 49:39
  So yeah it's it. It was just such a Packed year
• 49:47
  and was, and looking at how pack this year was, I'm already
• 49:54
  afraid of of next year, but we will probably talk about that
• 50:01
  and once we get through the rest of our list.
• 50:10
  So my number 6 was, One that felt like it was just a weekend
• 50:20
  Adrenaline Rush of a watch. And that is cyberpunk Edge
• 50:26
  Runners. That so, now, you know, I've
• 50:33
  never played the video game or whatever, but of course I am,
• 50:36
  you know, I'm familiar with the game, and with the property.
• 50:40
  And so when it was announced, that there will be a Anime
• 50:45
  coming out Loosely connected to it and that it was going to be
• 50:49
  done by Studio trigger. I was like, how could I not
• 50:55
  watch a studio trigger anime as so this show just I feel like
• 51:04
  from the moment you press play, it is just a Non-Stop.
• 51:11
  Yeah, yeah. That that, first episode kind
• 51:14
  of, like, immediately sets the tone of this is not going to be
• 51:20
  a family-friendly anime. We blow a hands-off people are
• 51:24
  dying. No One Is Safe.
• 51:27
  There are drugs and nudity and everything in between and is
• 51:32
  going to look beautiful. We show y'all.
• 51:36
  Yeah, my you someone. I'm rise that for sure.
• 51:40
  Yes, yes. So yeah.
• 51:41
  But by a cyberpunk edgerunner is I don't need to belabor the
• 51:45
  point on it because I did a whole episode with with the
• 51:50
  homie Rome back. When a ROM from a worse
• 51:54
  champaka? Yes, yes.
• 51:58
  So, if you want to hear some even more in depth for serious
• 52:01
  discussions, go check that out. But yes, So, shout out to to
• 52:05
  cyberpunk Edge Runners for, for band.
• 52:09
  My number six. Now.
• 52:12
  Yeah, we are moving it to the halfway point with our table
• 52:18
  fives. So Shelby, How fast?
• 52:25
  Yes. My number 5 comes in as ranking
• 52:32
  of kings of my man. Bogey, I will love you g.
• 52:40
  He has a special place in my heart.
• 52:43
  Yes. Not only do you see all of the
• 52:47
  development and I think that you guys can see a theme here, I'm
• 52:50
  14 characters going through a big impactful moments and
• 52:56
  Harding, some That seems like super low and it's super low
• 53:00
  point and having everybody's support shift along the way.
• 53:04
  Kind of like Shield hero if you guys watched season one at that.
• 53:11
  But ranking of King, I loved everything about it.
• 53:14
  I loved how people were against him.
• 53:16
  I loved seeing how people started cheering for him.
• 53:21
  I love seeing a sign language in an anime.
• 53:24
  That's so different. I've never seen that before.
• 53:27
  I don't know it or it's something like that, but I loved
• 53:30
  it. And I loved the fact that they
• 53:31
  also have fact Checkers from the Japanese sign language
• 53:37
  sociation. I believe to check make sure
• 53:40
  that it's actually factual. So, I really did enjoy an all
• 53:47
  about making King's. It has the action and adventure,
• 53:49
  it has the fight scenes. That surprised me at first was a
• 53:53
  little too cold from the art style because it was little
• 53:55
  different than, you know, something.
• 53:57
  A Time typically used to, but I thought a clip from the one of
• 54:02
  the fight scenes and I was like, whoa, this is not a, they're
• 54:06
  they're, they're cutting hair cutting limbs off.
• 54:11
  So I was, it wasn't just a happy-go-lucky anime that I
• 54:14
  thought it would be. And I really did enjoy it top
• 54:18
  five. Yes, yes.
• 54:20
  And and, and I am so happy that you mention this one because As
• 54:27
  much as I love it, it didn't make my list.
• 54:30
  But but I always say for me, ranking of Kings ranking,
• 54:38
  akane's would have been like a like a understood top of the
• 54:43
  list for me of, like, I like a king of kings presents their
• 54:51
  needs to talks 2022 list because our country because pretty much
• 54:56
  all the points. That you made because I know it
• 55:01
  was also one that a lot of people even just from like that
• 55:05
  that initial poster of him and his basically like his like
• 55:10
  underwear, just sitting on the throne people, like, what is
• 55:13
  this? This big baby sitting on her own
• 55:16
  Throne. I'm not going to watch it and
• 55:18
  like you said with the our style, but I am so happy that I
• 55:23
  gave it a shot because yeah, it is differently.
• 55:27
  Moved into one of my all-time favorite series and stuff as
• 55:31
  well, because from beginning, through like you said, the whole
• 55:35
  journey all the way through to the end.
• 55:38
  It was just fantastic and and it continued to keep me on the edge
• 55:43
  of my seat and continue to keep me guessing because I was like,
• 55:47
  what's coming, what's going on? Maybe even like a little bit of
• 55:51
  like some Game of Thrones elements because it's out.
• 55:54
  It's like some like politics and stuff involved as well,
• 55:58
  characters that you hated it at first, but ended up loving and
• 56:02
  they cares that you loved it first that you end up hating and
• 56:06
  everything in between, but But you're making a king's is a
• 56:10
  fantastic, fantastic series are so, so I guess I shot to the
• 56:16
  season. Once Again, shout out to you for
• 56:18
  putting it on, putting a sofa. I feel like I'm kind of getting
• 56:25
  some some free extensions of my list.
• 56:32
  So yeah, so so shout out to wrecking a king.
• 56:34
  So Number five for me. Now, let me bid.
• 56:41
  Now this is one that is a slightly older series that I had
• 56:50
  heard talked about as seen. I can spell it right.
• 56:58
  That I have seen mentioned many times over the years, but never
• 57:04
  really knew too much about it or what it was about.
• 57:06
  But last year, when square games came out, people kept on saying
• 57:12
  all squid games is just a lesser version of this anime and that
• 57:18
  anime is kaiji, the Ultimate Survivor, okay?
• 57:24
  Now, like I mention Kaji, See the anime for this?
• 57:28
  I think this is from shooting, like, 2007, the first season in
• 57:33
  that thing, like, season 2 is my 2011.
• 57:35
  So well over a decade ago, but I finally decided to just give it
• 57:42
  a shot because I don't know, I just had a mood one day and I
• 57:46
  was like you know what, I want to finally try out that show.
• 57:50
  So kaiji, the Ultimate Survivor basically follows this main
• 57:55
  character Who loves to gamble and so big thing, people who
• 58:03
  gamble a lot of times is that they end up in a and almost
• 58:05
  dead. And so he is in millions and
• 58:09
  millions and millions of dollars in debt and so he basically gets
• 58:13
  offered an opportunity to play these various games which they
• 58:18
  all involve some type of gambling for a chance to get his
• 58:22
  debt cleared. And so this show like I said
• 58:26
  pretty much kind of like squid games is just a series of just
• 58:31
  stressful moments of how are these characters going to get
• 58:37
  out of this? How is our main character going
• 58:40
  to overcome these eyes? And will he be able to clear his
• 58:45
  debt? And so, it was just a fantastic
• 58:50
  Adrenaline Rush of a show, the whole way through and, and, and
• 58:57
  it was a lot of show because I think Jack a season 1 by surface
• 59:01
  26 episodes and I think season 2 is 26 as well.
• 59:04
  So I'll wash well over like okay episodes of this show over the
• 59:07
  course of like a week or two. That's how I invested.
• 59:12
  I was to work when I started watching, I'm glad.
• 59:16
  Yeah, as so and of course it has the Super dramatic narrator as
• 59:22
  well. That's just not narrating
• 59:24
  certain things throughout or whatever.
• 59:26
  They just as more tension and suspense to What's going on?
• 59:31
  And just like a lot of other death game shows people die.
• 59:36
  You lose limbs. There is there is serious Stakes
• 59:40
  to these games but they are. So shout out to to kaiji
• 59:45
  Ultimate Survivor for for making it to my tomorrow.
• 59:48
  Five. Have you did you watched over
• 59:53
  that again or or read it? Yep.
• 59:56
  I'm curious I believe but I'm sure Curious at some point, your
• 1:00:01
  opinion. Yeah.
• 1:00:02
  So was I watch Did you watch what I say that again?
• 1:00:08
  I did watch Tomodachi game this year.
• 1:00:11
  Okay. Yeah, so sign for me.
• 1:00:13
  I tell me that you game. It has some rough patches for me
• 1:00:19
  but it always say it has some really high highs, particularly
• 1:00:27
  the I'll just say the stuff when they were in the forest during
• 1:00:32
  the hide-and-seek stuff, that was one of my highlights and
• 1:00:37
  then kind of towards the end of I think that would be like the
• 1:00:41
  second game where they're kind of like moving.
• 1:00:44
  Like I'm like the tiles the like the lies and stuff whatever, but
• 1:00:51
  I would say it was one, I had to kind of come back to because I
• 1:00:56
  wash me about that first episode or two and was kind of like
• 1:01:00
  lukewarm on it and then I heard people talking about some of the
• 1:01:05
  later episodes. So I was like, okay, you know
• 1:01:06
  what? Let me go back and And watch it.
• 1:01:09
  And so I think me binge-watching it was better than me watching
• 1:01:15
  it week to week at First. So, you know, and the, the end
• 1:01:20
  of it was kind of Soso as well, but I would be interested if
• 1:01:27
  they do a season 2 I would check it out or maybe even at some
• 1:01:32
  point, maybe even reading the manga, maybe cuz Because that
• 1:01:37
  was the other thing that kind of got me back or as somebody was
• 1:01:40
  talking about the manga. And I had just blindly went and
• 1:01:46
  looked at whatever the most recent chapter was at that time
• 1:01:50
  and I saw some insane stuff and I was like, oh okay, I do not
• 1:01:56
  know that y'all were on this type of crazy.
• 1:02:00
  Yes so so that was kind of another thing.
• 1:02:03
  So I was like, maybe I might Read it at some point or
• 1:02:06
  whatever. So but but your hahaha how did
• 1:02:09
  you feel about it? Well, your entire response plus
• 1:02:13
  one. I feel the exact same way down
• 1:02:17
  to the examples that you used when they were in the, in the
• 1:02:21
  forest that part, as well as when we were moving on the
• 1:02:24
  pieces. Those are to the the parts that
• 1:02:26
  I thought were most interesting, but I grew about it.
• 1:02:29
  Starting out a little bit iffy. I also have my own personal
• 1:02:33
  opinions about like how they, I guess, what about telling the
• 1:02:36
  story I feel like I don't want to give much away.
• 1:02:43
  I do think that people should check it out because I have also
• 1:02:47
  heard that the story gets crazier and that the manga is
• 1:02:50
  more interesting. So I would also be interested in
• 1:02:53
  season 2 and such but I did feel the like they could have did a
• 1:02:58
  little bit more convincing of us in the beginning on like their
• 1:03:01
  friendship and other things I wasn't totally sold that it was
• 1:03:06
  all a solid foundation anyway so going through the game it's not
• 1:03:11
  like Unnecessarily surprise me except ra, I think the most
• 1:03:14
  surprising points was actually with the aftermath and what
• 1:03:18
  exactly happened in some of the further games.
• 1:03:21
  The ending was also the same thing that I talk about in my
• 1:03:24
  thread. I didn't make a after I did make
• 1:03:28
  a knot Episode by episode but a few Tweets in a thread for
• 1:03:32
  Tomodachi game. And then when I put it on my
• 1:03:35
  completed anime list, I did touch on how the ending kind of
• 1:03:39
  took me by surprise in terms of Did No No Song.
• 1:03:43
  No, that's like no. Just stop like that.
• 1:03:46
  That's okay. Yeah, I don't know.
• 1:03:50
  I feel the same way about how you do but I was curious your
• 1:03:54
  opinion based on the game's aspect with the debt and such
• 1:04:00
  from the other one that you yeah.
• 1:04:02
  Yeah. And won't wash our Amish out.
• 1:04:05
  I just very quickly just because we're in the name of the death
• 1:04:09
  game stuff or whatever is Is the live-action series Alice and
• 1:04:15
  Borderland. I was because I thought you were
• 1:04:19
  talking about that before you set or something similar one.
• 1:04:23
  Before you said that one. And so I thought you were going
• 1:04:27
  somewhere and then you then you surprised me.
• 1:04:29
  Yeah. So I just wanted to shout that
• 1:04:31
  out because I I have watched that first season and read the
• 1:04:37
  first couple of arms of the manga, was that earlier this
• 1:04:42
  year, end of last year, or something like that, or
• 1:04:43
  whatever, it's just back of my mind again.
• 1:04:46
  Because season 2 came out The weekend or the day that we're
• 1:04:49
  recording this. Season two is out, so I'm
• 1:04:52
  excited to go and watch that. So if you want another really
• 1:04:58
  good death game topper show and you want to actually solid
• 1:05:03
  live-action. One Alison.
• 1:05:05
  Borderland is a good recommendation and that's on
• 1:05:10
  Netflix, by the way. So Totally agree.
• 1:05:14
  Totally agree. Alright, so Number four.
• 1:05:19
  What is your number four, right? My number four is my other son
• 1:05:25
  and I'm sure you could think about it.
• 1:05:27
  We have the Trinity of anime kids.
• 1:05:29
  He's my other son and he is kotaro lives alone.
• 1:05:34
  Yes, yes, yes. Do I have to say anything?
• 1:05:39
  Okay. If I must came out earlier in
• 1:05:45
  this year and I saw That before I saw a ranking of Kings, not
• 1:05:53
  exactly. Sure.
• 1:05:54
  If it, if that impacts why I typically put guitar was alone
• 1:06:00
  before ranking of Kings, I like them both but what Katara Sloan
• 1:06:04
  did for me personally, and with my life experiences, it impacted
• 1:06:08
  me on a different level than wrecking, a king in terms of
• 1:06:10
  like, it just being a great story and a great watch.
• 1:06:14
  I have taught children. I am Everybody knows.
• 1:06:20
  I'm always fun games. So I've been an English as a
• 1:06:24
  foreign language teacher abroad in here.
• 1:06:27
  I'm just often The one taking care of kids, whether it's my
• 1:06:32
  cousin's or things like that. I have also been around, you
• 1:06:35
  know, children. He don't come from the best
• 1:06:37
  circumstances and things like that.
• 1:06:39
  And I know people who have, unfortunately, a similar story.
• 1:06:44
  And so, for all of those reasons, watch guitar, lives
• 1:06:47
  alone, the life lessons that you learned from it.
• 1:06:50
  The different Little Gems like this, the little phrases that he
• 1:06:56
  says to explain a certain situation are just So, profound
• 1:07:00
  to me, and I cried like three times an episode.
• 1:07:03
  Like it was just so impactful and just 10 episodes.
• 1:07:07
  So, I, it just, it really, it really was great to watch.
• 1:07:11
  And I really love shows who wear like a child often influences,
• 1:07:17
  the adults in something or the pigs guardians, or whoever have
• 1:07:21
  you in his around him. I think that also the other,
• 1:07:25
  some of the other ones that made my, I guess.
• 1:07:29
  Honorable mentions list are also some that may have a child that
• 1:07:34
  taught something to someone else, but I really do enjoy that
• 1:07:38
  because I not only, you know, have a connection with kids, but
• 1:07:43
  I do think that we, as we get older, we tend to lose some of
• 1:07:47
  our, you know, innocence and we send tend to forget things or
• 1:07:52
  get stuck in our ways or go through life.
• 1:07:54
  And it's always like, The young ones are the people who are you
• 1:07:58
  know it's seen as oh you don't know anything.
• 1:08:01
  You're just a kid or those are the people who impact you the
• 1:08:05
  most and make you learn something about yourself because
• 1:08:07
  one thing about kids, they're honest and they and their,
• 1:08:11
  they're just good. And I know, you know, that means
• 1:08:16
  to talk, so I sure. I just, I love that.
• 1:08:21
  That is my baby. Yes, yes, once again, Shelby
• 1:08:26
  strikes, again for for sneaking, sneaking this stuff to her list
• 1:08:31
  that that I want to add to my list.
• 1:08:34
  So I agree with everything you said with that and the other
• 1:08:40
  thing that kind of like was just like constantly and my mind
• 1:08:43
  watching the show is that kotaro is for during the win, win win.
• 1:08:50
  This is going to war. And at the time when this was
• 1:08:56
  Was airing my son. Vast.
• 1:08:58
  She's since had a birthday. So he's five now.
• 1:09:00
  But he was also for when I was watching this as so Me send all
• 1:09:06
  the stuff kotaro was going through and all the things he's
• 1:09:11
  having to do on his own from cooking to going shopping and
• 1:09:16
  everything else in between. I'm like looking at him.
• 1:09:20
  Then I'm looking over at my son and I'm like, I cannot fathom.
• 1:09:25
  You know, you've been in this situation and there were
• 1:09:30
  differently. I'm right there with you.
• 1:09:32
  There were definitely some tearjerker moments, Throughout
• 1:09:38
  that got me. And I also enjoyed The
• 1:09:42
  Supporting Cast of characters of the other adults.
• 1:09:45
  And so those kind of around there was at the can I help
• 1:09:49
  support him and it's kind of, like, like build up this new
• 1:09:52
  family, you know, and this new location and stuff.
• 1:09:58
  Whatever sober. But yeah, I agree, I can't.
• 1:09:59
  Our Lives alone is a, is a fantastic.
• 1:10:04
  Fantastic. Jim of a show.
• 1:10:05
  Show. I also have a friend who's like
• 1:10:11
  one of my best friends and he has a daughter who was for every
• 1:10:15
  time so it I told him to watch it.
• 1:10:18
  He's not an Anime Watcher. He's maybe just in the recent
• 1:10:23
  years like this year watched something that I've recommended
• 1:10:29
  kotaro being the first one and based on just his own life.
• 1:10:36
  It's period. Susan looking over at her.
• 1:10:39
  He cried too. Yeah, it was like, that's a
• 1:10:47
  great show and it's a whole different thing and watching
• 1:10:51
  looking over at your Child, it will help you be going through
• 1:10:58
  the life alone like this. Yes, I know. all right, so my
• 1:11:07
  number four, this is a I don't know if I'll call this an oldie
• 1:11:15
  but a goodie because it's technically new And that is
• 1:11:22
  bleach thousand year old Art of War.
• 1:11:27
  Now. Okay why did major West?
• 1:11:31
  Yes. So bleach coming back.
• 1:11:36
  This has been a decade in the making.
• 1:11:41
  It is wild that it has been 10 years since the anime stopped
• 1:11:47
  Hecate. I think even Five or six since
• 1:11:51
  the manga ended. So it's been a while since we've
• 1:11:53
  had no bleach content pretty much.
• 1:11:56
  And so, with this series coming back, obviously there's a lot of
• 1:12:02
  hype, a lot of anticipation for it but I did not expect me
• 1:12:08
  watching the show. Every Monday to make me feel
• 1:12:12
  like those same that same excitement and Vibes.
• 1:12:17
  That I felt when I was a teenager Watching this show when
• 1:12:23
  it was originally airing. And that is why it is so high on
• 1:12:28
  my list, just because of the emotions, The Nostalgia and just
• 1:12:35
  how well they have executed on this show because when they put
• 1:12:44
  out that first, kind of like teaser trailer and maybe like
• 1:12:46
  last year, or whatever, and we saw the pretty Visuals and
• 1:12:52
  stuff. And people was like, The show is
• 1:12:55
  not going to like that, they just they just did that for the
• 1:12:57
  trailer. But when we got the first
• 1:13:02
  episode and now we are eleven twelve episodes in and every
• 1:13:08
  episode it has been consistently that good.
• 1:13:15
  How could I not have it all my list?
• 1:13:20
  And like I said, and and have it at such a high spot because I
• 1:13:24
  started to put it somewhere lower, but I was like, no, no
• 1:13:29
  has been disrespected long enough.
• 1:13:33
  It is time that it that it gets his do so, so yes, a bleach
• 1:13:37
  thousand. Your blood War is my number
• 1:13:39
  four. I can even watching it.
• 1:13:45
  So I have not because I have not seen any bleach so tired to it,
• 1:13:54
  coming out of the, you know, the Thousand-Year blood Mark, I try
• 1:13:59
  to watch some bleach so that I can eventually get to a point
• 1:14:04
  where I can watch it. Because me I like watching them
• 1:14:06
  from the beginning. I'm not just going to jump into
• 1:14:08
  it. I want to get the experience
• 1:14:10
  know the story. So I want for of bleach.
• 1:14:16
  At least, you know, I'm going to get out of the big three.
• 1:14:27
  I'm a one-piece Stan, and I've already done all the episodes.
• 1:14:32
  I've already seen him caught up and so I think that's honorable
• 1:14:35
  and stuff. I need a break from catching up
• 1:14:38
  to another, you know, enemy that has a lot of episodes, but I
• 1:14:41
  will get to bleach. Yes, because I've seen Clips,
• 1:14:44
  I'll try to avoid add them, but I've seen some little bit of
• 1:14:47
  fight scenes here and there and I'm like, when I get to that,
• 1:14:50
  gets it. Yeah, yes, yes, yes.
• 1:14:54
  Yeah. One day, one day, one day, it's
• 1:14:58
  all good. So, Top three.
• 1:15:03
  We we we, we are clearing. We're nearing the top of the
• 1:15:07
  mountain. So what is your number three,
• 1:15:09
  Shelby. Number three, we talked about,
• 1:15:13
  we love it Sakai. So we have a nice guy coming in
• 1:15:17
  at number three and that is the world's finest assassin.
• 1:15:21
  Nice reincarnated. I very much enjoyed this anime.
• 1:15:30
  I enjoyed actually, it. I saw after another is Sakai
• 1:15:35
  that I won't mention because it's my number one.
• 1:15:39
  I'm excited. But I saw it right after and
• 1:15:43
  they have some similar themes. Can't wait me too but it's not
• 1:15:50
  right after I was already on a high from that so I wanted to
• 1:15:52
  see and another is acai that was like going to you know leave me
• 1:15:59
  like super interested and I think that this one definitely
• 1:16:03
  did a little different where he was re-encoding hated as a baby
• 1:16:09
  and you know, not Rewind gets the opportunity.
• 1:16:12
  So I like that but also the fact that I don't know if I wanted to
• 1:16:16
  say it, but I don't think I don't think it's, you know,
• 1:16:20
  cheating, but I enjoyed that he got some pickle asleep.
• 1:16:24
  Pick out what skills he wanted in order to his task.
• 1:16:30
  I thought that was very different.
• 1:16:31
  I thought it's a different way that characters can be Opie.
• 1:16:36
  You know, you get to see their thought process and he is very
• 1:16:40
  meticulous. Louis and this as he is an
• 1:16:43
  assassin I really enjoyed. I think that oops that a lot of
• 1:16:51
  times light novels when they're adapted their a little bit more
• 1:16:54
  mature and I really do enjoy that because it's there are more
• 1:16:59
  elements to it. If you know what I mean, like
• 1:17:01
  there are more nuances. There are it's not just cut and
• 1:17:05
  dry, it's not just wholesome, there's just different things
• 1:17:07
  going on. And so I thought that was pretty
• 1:17:09
  cool and the world's finest assassins So overall, y'all know
• 1:17:14
  that I love is Sakai action-adventure.
• 1:17:17
  It has all of that. Great story.
• 1:17:19
  And you get to Deep dive into his mindset and I am, I'm always
• 1:17:24
  enjoying that. I love psychology, I love, you
• 1:17:27
  know, finding out how people work.
• 1:17:29
  So it takes off all the boxes for me, that's why it's number
• 1:17:32
  three. Nice.
• 1:17:33
  Yeah that. Yeah, that that show different
• 1:17:36
  was a very dull pain and I'm right there with you it was
• 1:17:39
  interesting at the Beginning seeing him pick the different
• 1:17:45
  things because it was like, as like as he had dozens, if not
• 1:17:49
  hundreds of options of, hey, when you pick whatever you want.
• 1:17:55
  And yeah, just saying like, it's like his thought processes like,
• 1:18:00
  hmm. Okay, I'm gonna go with this and
• 1:18:02
  this and this up right now. I'm right there with you that
• 1:18:05
  that was a very dope one. So for numb, for my number
• 1:18:11
  Three, and it is funny because I will also continue with the with
• 1:18:20
  the Asic I train. Let me get it, I know so more
• 1:18:32
  izakayas and for me, that is ascendance of a bookworm Whoops.
• 1:18:41
  this is a Did you hear me? No, you lag.
• 1:18:48
  So I can, I can see when you do lag.
• 1:18:50
  All right, and that's what make the audio cuts out.
• 1:18:53
  So I was I was thinking that you might cause again, okay, got
• 1:18:56
  you. Okay, so I'm good.
• 1:18:59
  You're a good now. Okay.
• 1:19:01
  Alright. So I saw a sentence of a
• 1:19:03
  bookworm. This is one, this is one that I
• 1:19:12
  heard about thanks to a friend jesseman because she is also a
• 1:19:19
  very big, it's a cafe. And so I saw her mention this
• 1:19:26
  one and of course, several others that I have since watch
• 1:19:28
  throughout this year. Here.
• 1:19:30
  But the thing that really that I really loved about this one and
• 1:19:35
  that stuck with me is that. So the main character she is a
• 1:19:41
  she is a librarian but she is up having an accident at work as
• 1:19:49
  up, dying Crush my books and she gets reincarnated into this
• 1:19:55
  world but she ends up taking over this little girl.
• 1:19:59
  Body by the name of mine who has this.
• 1:20:04
  Basically this like magical illness to where it makes a
• 1:20:08
  body, very frail and very weak. So she can't really do a lot of
• 1:20:13
  physical activities. Whatever she can't exert a lot
• 1:20:15
  of stamina or whatever because she just has a very just short
• 1:20:19
  stamina bar. Well she still has this of
• 1:20:23
  course, Big Love of books but in this world it is kind of More
• 1:20:29
  like a like a medieval setting and only the wealthiest of
• 1:20:34
  people even have access to books.
• 1:20:38
  And so she basically her constant goal throughout the
• 1:20:42
  series is just to either get her hands on some books and if she
• 1:20:48
  can't, she is going to make books herself as so by any
• 1:20:54
  means. And so we see her go through
• 1:20:57
  different struggles and stuff. And meeting a fantastic
• 1:21:03
  character cast of characters along the way as she is on this
• 1:21:07
  goal to make books and sometimes some of the things that she goes
• 1:21:15
  through and her pursuit of this goal.
• 1:21:20
  Sometimes there are repercussions or there are
• 1:21:27
  consequences to sometimes her Action.
• 1:21:29
  Is that she might not think about because she is so focused
• 1:21:33
  on. Hey, now I just want to get my
• 1:21:35
  hands on this book or I want to get the get the next material
• 1:21:38
  and my journey to make books. And the other thing too with
• 1:21:42
  this series that I love that we don't see too often in anime is
• 1:21:46
  that? She also has a very supportive
• 1:21:49
  family. She has a mom, a dad, and a
• 1:21:53
  older sister, who all love her and who are also supportive of
• 1:21:59
  her. Her goal is and her dreams and
• 1:22:02
  you see that from the beginning, all the way through, there are
• 1:22:05
  currently three seasons and it is a fantastic show.
• 1:22:10
  So one I would definitely highly recommend to my fellow Izakaya
• 1:22:17
  fans. Let's go.
• 1:22:20
  Yeah, I've briefly heard about it and I think even because I
• 1:22:27
  was watching like a compilation of on YouTube or something like
• 1:22:30
  that and I have come across the name but seeing as a maid so
• 1:22:35
  high on your list there's got to be a reason, especially over a
• 1:22:38
  living. Like it's a company that you've
• 1:22:39
  mentioned. So I'm intrigued now.
• 1:22:42
  I kind of want to go and see what's going on with it because,
• 1:22:47
  you know, me, love and his package.
• 1:22:51
  Yes, definitely, definitely. All right.
• 1:22:54
  So what is your number two? My number two is a popular one,
• 1:23:02
  one that everyone should know, even if you didn't watch it,
• 1:23:07
  Fruits Basket. Nice, nice.
• 1:23:11
  Well, that's good. So, this year, like, I mentioned
• 1:23:16
  before, was the first year that I really expanded my palate on
• 1:23:20
  anime and observed. What I'm actually watching in
• 1:23:26
  the past that is typically stayed towards, you know, a
• 1:23:30
  certain genre. However, occasionally I would
• 1:23:34
  dip my toe into other things that happen to be something else
• 1:23:37
  that this year, was the first year that I was really
• 1:23:39
  intentional about my pick. But the reason why is because it
• 1:23:51
  Fruits Basket. Yeah, I don't know what made me
• 1:23:55
  do it by just kept hearing people talk about it and since
• 1:23:59
  it's popular, it's, you know, been happening before, it was
• 1:24:03
  being rebooted and the final season came out this year and
• 1:24:07
  the movie. So when he's in did come out, I
• 1:24:11
  was like, okay, you know, Know what?
• 1:24:12
  I am going to go through this journey and I at the end, I was
• 1:24:17
  like, why have I never seen this before?
• 1:24:22
  And what else is out there? Because if there's so many cool
• 1:24:26
  anime, that's not just this, that I need to watch it.
• 1:24:30
  Yeah. And that what fruits basket did
• 1:24:33
  to me? And that's part of the reason
• 1:24:34
  why is my number two, but for people who haven't seen it, and
• 1:24:38
  who do kind of gravitate towards romance or thing.
• 1:24:42
  That I love every episode. Has a profound, take away that
• 1:24:49
  you can even take away in your own life.
• 1:24:53
  Tohru, the main character is my my heart and soul.
• 1:25:02
  I absolutely love her. She's the most whole say I've
• 1:25:05
  ever seen in all of anime, I think genuinely.
• 1:25:08
  And I think that she is able to evoke So much change and all the
• 1:25:13
  other characters, you know, character development.
• 1:25:16
  But she also goes through her own change and you just see
• 1:25:19
  similar to what you said about seeing a character who has so
• 1:25:22
  much support. You see someone who's gone
• 1:25:24
  through so much, but every single person in her life loves
• 1:25:28
  her to the moon and back from wants her to be wants her to
• 1:25:32
  grow once her to have such like love.
• 1:25:34
  And it's just so different seeing.
• 1:25:36
  Everybody just loved on you and we love on a person and I love
• 1:25:41
  that Aspen. Only do you see that?
• 1:25:43
  You also get to get those gems in those life lessons that
• 1:25:47
  happen in every single episode. There's at least a lesson in
• 1:25:50
  every single episode so all the way up until the third season.
• 1:25:54
  So that's why Fruits Basket is my number two, that is very
• 1:25:57
  awesome. And so Fruits Basket is all is
• 1:26:00
  one that is on my list of stuff I need to watch that.
• 1:26:04
  I know, is highly rated highly acclaimed, so I have it on my
• 1:26:11
  own I have a hot on my priority list of stuff I want to watch
• 1:26:16
  sooner than later just because of flex and all the praise and
• 1:26:21
  stuff that I've heard of it over the years and stuff.
• 1:26:25
  So so that that is very awesome to see that that you dive into
• 1:26:31
  it and that is also, you know, so high on your list that is
• 1:26:35
  very dope, move it up. My so okay my number two is one,
• 1:26:47
  I alluded to earlier and that is a Aussie bad.
• 1:26:54
  That is my number. 249 lat. All the reasons that you
• 1:27:01
  mentioned earlier, but expanding on that.
• 1:27:05
  So this is one I had never even heard of until this year.
• 1:27:11
  Year because like the other one, you mentioned bluelock.
• 1:27:17
  That's the one. I feel like, feel like that's
• 1:27:20
  got, like, two more water. No name.
• 1:27:24
  And so I've known about bluelock since like last year or a new
• 1:27:28
  block was coming even a year plus ago.
• 1:27:31
  And so when we got to the beginning of this year and I
• 1:27:37
  believe this was this was the spring season.
• 1:27:39
  Yeah. So when the season was starting.
• 1:27:42
  Whatever and people are like, oh okay.
• 1:27:43
  There's another soccer anime and I was kind of like well okay I
• 1:27:48
  know block is coming but that's going to be at the end of the
• 1:27:52
  year. So let me see what this is.
• 1:27:55
  And Hoshi tell who he is, he is he is one of my size.
• 1:28:07
  I would take him under my way because he just has so much
• 1:28:12
  heart because just like what you mentioned with Haiku, it is just
• 1:28:19
  so awesome just seeing not only him but All his teammates and
• 1:28:25
  the various tenses they encounter and stuff along the
• 1:28:28
  journey. It is just so awesome.
• 1:28:31
  And once again, like I keep saying, I love a supportive
• 1:28:38
  family and his brother and his mom I forget I believe it was
• 1:28:50
  episode 4. I think I thought that gives up
• 1:28:55
  a so for but it was basically the so yeah.
• 1:29:02
  So that episode When he got his, the acceptance letter to the
• 1:29:10
  team and the scene when his friends are out the slept
• 1:29:17
  celebrating with him and it's kind of this beautiful sunset
• 1:29:21
  and his mother's there is blowing and she's like a like
• 1:29:25
  soccer is taking you away from me.
• 1:29:29
  And that moment along with when he was actually leaving his you
• 1:29:38
  know, he got the gift and The Mamas are hey do not open this
• 1:29:42
  until you were on the train and him Mi minor, very minor
• 1:29:50
  spoilers but I just got to talk about this but hey I'm getting
• 1:29:55
  the signature orange clee. He's and then the letter has mom
• 1:30:01
  wrote, I was right there bawling right along with him because
• 1:30:07
  now, you know, yes. Yeah, dude, and then this show
• 1:30:13
  just continued to surprise me and just it was so good seeing
• 1:30:22
  you. Yes.
• 1:30:24
  And it just continued to show His growth both as an athlete
• 1:30:32
  but also as a person because every time he kind of hit a
• 1:30:37
  wall, he figured it out and learn something new and made it
• 1:30:44
  to the next level and all the way up to the freaking last
• 1:30:49
  episode of the Season, where he, he gets the jersey and all that
• 1:30:54
  stuff. I Go on and on and on, but hey,
• 1:31:01
  why? She is my important?
• 1:31:06
  Yes, when even I don't want to spoil it.
• 1:31:09
  But you know how what they did in the last episode, going into
• 1:31:13
  the ending scene and the ending song How It continued.
• 1:31:18
  I was blown away. I was about till the last moment
• 1:31:21
  that blew my mind. I was like what?
• 1:31:24
  I personally haven't seen an anime like ended like that where
• 1:31:28
  the ending You mean like it flows seamlessly into the
• 1:31:31
  credits and that's what we've been seeing the whole time and I
• 1:31:33
  was like wow I there's so many moments in our Ashley and now
• 1:31:37
  looking at my list and how much I loved it, it's probably going
• 1:31:40
  to have to switch with somebody but we did you really really
• 1:31:45
  showed me. You said everything and
• 1:31:46
  highlighted it even then some it's such a good show.
• 1:31:50
  Yeah. Even when the mom, when he
• 1:31:53
  called, when he didn't want to call and the girl called the
• 1:31:56
  poem Lee and oh my goodness. Yes, that's a good show up you
• 1:32:00
  guys and that's what I want to mention too, is that I also I
• 1:32:07
  also love when a series kind of has a character that seems like
• 1:32:12
  he is like a enemy or antagonistic early on, but you
• 1:32:17
  know that later on he's going to be integral to this characters
• 1:32:21
  growth. I don't remember the character's
• 1:32:23
  name, but it's the guy that's on the on the higher.
• 1:32:28
  A team that's kind of like kind of like a butthole to here.
• 1:32:33
  And the same word where I she took goes to him is like, hey,
• 1:32:39
  can you teach me? Hmm.
• 1:32:43
  Why? I already know?
• 1:32:46
  I already know that it's not and it's don't give enough credit.
• 1:32:59
  Exactly. And and I already know that.
• 1:33:04
  Whatever comes later I want to see their growth.
• 1:33:08
  Because like I said, just just a little thing of like, okay, he
• 1:33:13
  was mean to you at first but he's going to be so integral
• 1:33:18
  like yeah, yeah. So many on to our number ones.
• 1:33:30
  So Shelby. What's what's clock?
• 1:33:33
  Climbed to the top of the mountain for you.
• 1:33:39
  I kind of want to know yours first, but I know, okay, you
• 1:33:42
  know what? Okay good.
• 1:33:50
  Yeah, that's it, right? So my number one, let me get it
• 1:33:57
  pulled up. This is one that I was
• 1:34:04
  anticipating coming in because the premise and stuff.
• 1:34:07
  Sounded interesting but I did not expect it to hook me from
• 1:34:14
  episode one and Carry On Through the final episode and that is
• 1:34:21
  summertime rendering. Okay, all right, That's good.
• 1:34:28
  We're not on the same page. That's good.
• 1:34:30
  That's a good choice. Yes.
• 1:34:33
  Summer time rendering. And before, before I give his
• 1:34:37
  Praises, whatever I have to air my grievances with with mr.
• 1:34:44
  Disney and I know I know I want even belabor the point, but I
• 1:34:53
  just gotta say one of the biggest travesties of the year
• 1:34:57
  that They still haven't put this show up for international
• 1:35:03
  release. And the crazy thing is is that
• 1:35:06
  I've been seeing online that it is being dubbed in other
• 1:35:10
  countries and stuff. I sound like a like, a double
• 1:35:13
  like Australia or something. Whatever.
• 1:35:14
  I'm like, our polling or something.
• 1:35:17
  I'm like, what are y'all doing then?
• 1:35:19
  Who Summertime rendering. Was a fantastic ride of twists
• 1:35:27
  and turns and mystery, and suspense every freakin episode.
• 1:35:34
  You didn't know who was safe. You didn't know how we were
• 1:35:37
  going to make it through but somehow our Boy shinpei comes
• 1:35:44
  through with the mind with the smarts, we love a smart MC and
• 1:35:52
  One thing that I also enjoyed about this series is that they
• 1:35:56
  set up rules and they stick to the rules and the characters
• 1:36:01
  operate within the parameters of the rules that they set up early
• 1:36:06
  on in the show. Previously.
• 1:36:07
  Yes, Sr, I'm sorry. I so summertime running was just
• 1:36:11
  fantastic. And this also if I remember
• 1:36:14
  correctly, I think this also did the thing that what you talked
• 1:36:17
  about what though with a Ric where they had the the ending
• 1:36:20
  theme playing. As the show it was involved in
• 1:36:25
  to the end. Yes.
• 1:36:27
  Yes. So this is our shot at the
• 1:36:30
  summer time rendering. Hopefully, hopefully it gets
• 1:36:36
  water or these someday, but I actually am midwatch of
• 1:36:44
  summertime, we're doing. And that's the only reason it
• 1:36:46
  didn't like make my list is because I didn't get to finish
• 1:36:49
  it. I am I know what episode I'm on.
• 1:36:53
  I'm on episode 10 and literally said this morning.
• 1:36:58
  Oh, I wish I would have finished this this and another show so
• 1:37:02
  that I could talk about it and I would have to it's too late now
• 1:37:06
  but I was grabbed my attention was grabbed quickly in
• 1:37:11
  summertime rendering. The only reason it took me a
• 1:37:14
  little while to watch his because I was watching what
• 1:37:17
  someone else initially. Yeah and so I am definitely
• 1:37:22
  looking forward. To finishing up that show it is.
• 1:37:25
  It is a show of twists and turns.
• 1:37:28
  I was shocked at some of the scenes.
• 1:37:30
  It happened so early on. I was shocked that it didn't
• 1:37:35
  work out like that fast. So I definitely.
• 1:37:40
  It's such a cool show. I'm watching it.
• 1:37:42
  You know, we have to watch it on the other sites but that's
• 1:37:47
  typically how I walk by. I demand a way, to be honest.
• 1:37:50
  So I'll cheer good number. One.
• 1:37:53
  I approve. Thank you now.
• 1:37:56
  What is now for you? What is your number one?
• 1:37:59
  What is, what is this? A this mystery is Sakai.
• 1:38:03
  I was wondering if you were going to pick aneesa Chi so I'm
• 1:38:06
  glad that she didn't to expect. So, drum roll, please, my thank
• 1:38:13
  you. My number one is shuko tense, a
• 1:38:16
  jobless reincarnation. Awesome.
• 1:38:23
  Love joblessness and all of its little, controversial moments
• 1:38:28
  included. I think that it is such a well
• 1:38:32
  done. Yeah.
• 1:38:37
  So, even with that, I think that there is something line in terms
• 1:38:42
  of it is actually it is, it does have some things that, you know,
• 1:38:45
  you would think do. I agree with that necessarily,
• 1:38:50
  but I think those things aside, the actual story is shocking.
• 1:38:56
  This was the first show that I got to hear a characters inner
• 1:38:59
  dialogue. This was the first show that
• 1:39:01
  I've watched and someone being reincarnated as, you know, baby
• 1:39:05
  and having Their past self talking and thinking, while also
• 1:39:09
  growing up, I, I loved his thought process, I love the way
• 1:39:14
  he went through, things his development as a person, the
• 1:39:18
  fight scenes were crazy. The different Side characters in
• 1:39:21
  their growth Harris is my girl. Yeah, I love her, and her
• 1:39:29
  growth, the growth of the side characters.
• 1:39:32
  You can see it clearly, and they're not just like, on the
• 1:39:35
  side. They Still feel like they're a
• 1:39:38
  cohesive part of the story that you see.
• 1:39:40
  Go along with him the entire way and I can't wait until season 2
• 1:39:45
  on January 1st. I'm so excited and jobless is my
• 1:39:50
  number one. If you guys have not watched it
• 1:39:53
  please it's a fantasy. It's like a obviously it's a
• 1:39:56
  fantasy and what he do, he's going through his his Adventure,
• 1:40:03
  it is derailed completely. And the thing about the show
• 1:40:07
  that I like that, you mention in summer time, rendering, is you
• 1:40:10
  couldn't predict what was going to happen, and in every single
• 1:40:13
  episode I had no clue. I was completely caught off
• 1:40:16
  guard and all of the things that are happening.
• 1:40:18
  And so I can only imagine especially after the shocking
• 1:40:22
  ending last episode, our last two episodes.
• 1:40:26
  How he progresses. Yeah, I was actually in Barnes &
• 1:40:33
  Noble yesterday and I came across the manga.
• 1:40:36
  It is A light novel but it does have a manga and I saw him
• 1:40:40
  growing up and I was like, no but I kept looking at the
• 1:40:43
  covers. But I just can't wait to get
• 1:40:48
  there. I know he's doing so many
• 1:40:49
  amazing things. Yeah.
• 1:40:51
  So yes, that is my number one jobless reincarnation.
• 1:40:55
  Yeah, that yeah, that that's so. So one thing I want to talk
• 1:41:03
  about real quick with that show to the other end of the
• 1:41:07
  spectrum, from the from the from the outro music, the intro
• 1:41:13
  music, I love Of how every episode the music is playing,
• 1:41:21
  but it's not a set intro thing, whatever.
• 1:41:24
  It's like the same music plays, but we see actual story
• 1:41:29
  progression and I love cause I'm not talking about this was
• 1:41:33
  somebody a while back about how they literally use every minute
• 1:41:38
  of this show to make progress. Because even like cuz I cuz I
• 1:41:44
  love how like a lot of times with the a Throw they kind of
• 1:41:46
  use that time for sometimes, the more like mundane things, it
• 1:41:51
  could be. Oh, we're just showing our
• 1:41:53
  characters traveling or we're showing the scenery of although
• 1:41:59
  this the city that like that they're coming to whatever and
• 1:42:01
  that is such a beautiful way to do that because it's like all
• 1:42:05
  like no two birds with one stone joke.
• 1:42:07
  I had you're getting the intro music but we're also
• 1:42:10
  progressing, the story, or at least give us some type of like
• 1:42:13
  nuggets of set up for what you're about to.
• 1:42:15
  To see but but yeah job is reincarnation is so dope and I'm
• 1:42:20
  right there with you, I have seen many covers of stuff that
• 1:42:24
  is like way down the line. So I'm like okay step is going
• 1:42:30
  to happen but it is just exciting to try to wonder how do
• 1:42:35
  we get from here to that? So yeah, I do.
• 1:42:47
  Can't skip the intro music in that one at all.
• 1:42:50
  And I love it. And I absolutely loved the
• 1:42:52
  difference. Yes, so totally.
• 1:42:55

  That, that that's in there too. So Before we wrap things up,
• 1:44:53
  this episode, we're going to sound off and Shout out some
• 1:45:01
  shows that maybe just barely missed making our list for for
• 1:45:08
  various reasons and imma go first.
• 1:45:14
  Just so just like so I'm just going to shout out a couple of
• 1:45:16
  them because mentioning Macker, One that I struggled with
• 1:45:22
  putting on my list or not but I decided to wait because we're
• 1:45:26
  Midway through the season and that is Gundam.
• 1:45:30
  The witch from Mercury because yes I am loving that show right
• 1:45:37
  now and like I said, I almost put it up there but I was like
• 1:45:41
  no robber, just just hold it. Hold it for now but I freaking
• 1:45:46
  love that show. It is so dope.
• 1:45:49
  I'm I'm For what's going to happen in this next episode.
• 1:45:56
  Another one for me that. So earlier when I mentioned, I
• 1:46:02
  thought about cheating and putting two at one spot.
• 1:46:05
  So one of them one that I was going to put along with my dress
• 1:46:09
  up darling, that you mentioned was more than a married couple.
• 1:46:17
  Oh yeah. Yeah.
• 1:46:20
  That that is been such a pleasant surprise of a slice of
• 1:46:26
  Life romance show. And honestly, like parts of it.
• 1:46:31
  Kind of gives me some way similar Vibes as my dresser
• 1:46:38
  darling. Because you have these two polar
• 1:46:40
  seemingly polar opposite characters but Shoot akari the
• 1:46:47
  main girl and more than a married couple.
• 1:46:50
  Just like margarine and drechsel.
• 1:46:51
  Darling. She is unabashedly herself.
• 1:46:55
  She dresses how she wants to. She, you know, she she basically
• 1:46:59
  does what she wants to do, and but she also has another side to
• 1:47:04
  her that she begins to show the guy that she's in this
• 1:47:09
  quote-unquote marriage with. But yeah, so that was another
• 1:47:14
  one. Of course, I got a shout-out
• 1:47:19
  made in the best season to that's in there.
• 1:47:24
  My teens I was looking like uh, made an abyss.
• 1:47:31
  Okay, I know cuz like his it was a fantastic season but I don't
• 1:47:37
  know. It was just something it just it
• 1:47:40
  just couldn't make my top ten, but it was still a fan.
• 1:47:45
  Fantastic heart-wrenching gut-punching season, and trying
• 1:47:54
  to think, I think the other will, they probably those last
• 1:47:58
  one, I think. Yeah, I thought that this might
• 1:48:03
  be the last one. I wanted to mention it was a
• 1:48:08
  lycoris recoil. I was also in there and I kept
• 1:48:14
  switching it out cuz that that show was just another just like
• 1:48:19
  unexpected show of. I had no clue what this show was
• 1:48:23
  because it is also one of the few anime only shows or anime
• 1:48:29
  original shows this year, that they actually did the reverse
• 1:48:32
  after the anime came out, they've since been putting out a
• 1:48:35
  manga for my back. Yeah, if somebody yeah.
• 1:48:41
  It was. For it was just a dope show with
• 1:48:45
  cute girls blowing has off people down.
• 1:48:53
  Yes Slice of Life with guns pretty much.
• 1:48:58
  Oh one more ended. This is my last honorable
• 1:49:01
  mention and I can't believe I almost forgot it because I
• 1:49:03
  watched the season format for now their few hours ago.
• 1:49:06
  And that is a DIY, do it yourself.
• 1:49:13
  That show is just okay. Yes, like just a name.
• 1:49:18
  Yes, it is. Pretty much just it is just a
• 1:49:22
  simple slice-of-life show about our group of girls and high
• 1:49:26
  school that form, a DIY Club where they are just building
• 1:49:31
  stuff. They're building, you know,
• 1:49:33
  little bookshelves or building treehouses and other just cool
• 1:49:39
  things. And it's just this random
• 1:49:42
  assortment Of these girls who just happened to find each other
• 1:49:46
  through school and slowly one by one.
• 1:49:49
  They start joining this club and they just form a just a
• 1:49:53
  wholesome Bond while they're making cool stuff.
• 1:49:59
  So cute girl Creek you girls with power tools but that's
• 1:50:06
  cool. I'm happy.
• 1:50:09
  We had some overlapping ones too.
• 1:50:11
  We couldn't quite Right. Route to put up there?
• 1:50:14
  Yes. So, we're what are some that are
• 1:50:17
  the they just that you wanted to shout out as well.
• 1:50:22
  Well, I well, I guess I'll start with some of the ones that you
• 1:50:26
  touched on to you said, made in a base.
• 1:50:30
  I actually didn't get to watch season 2 yet.
• 1:50:33
  I hope it is because I watched season one this year, like maybe
• 1:50:37
  a week before season 2 was going to come out.
• 1:50:39
  And I had intentions of watching one of the movies and then going
• 1:50:42
  into it, but so still going to do it.
• 1:50:47
  But I even so chose it to be in my honorable mentions.
• 1:50:51
  Because I feel like I really enjoyed the adventure and it
• 1:50:55
  does have all the elements that I like.
• 1:50:57
  It also has like the gut-wrenching things and the
• 1:51:00
  difficult parts to watch, but I think that some other shows like
• 1:51:04
  did something a little bit more for me so I couldn't quite
• 1:51:07
  figure out putting that in my top 10, the same on the same
• 1:51:11
  token, similar token, licorice, recoil I was debating whether I
• 1:51:17
  wanted to switch Demon Slayer out or my dress up darling out
• 1:51:20
  for licorice. Recoil reason being yes it's a
• 1:51:27
  slice of life with guns. It has cool action and it has
• 1:51:31
  wholesome stuff where you know people are learning and
• 1:51:33
  developing. But the thing that was the best
• 1:51:36
  for me was the conversation that they were having.
• 1:51:40
  I think was it your Sato and the the guy with the green hair at
• 1:51:45
  the And then final battle that entire conversation, the fact
• 1:51:49
  that they stopped Midway like to like, you know, rest or like
• 1:51:53
  reload, and the conversation was about Good and Evil and who's
• 1:51:57
  actually good, and who is evil and we're baby, who's on the
• 1:52:01
  same side and basically, like when people talk about, you
• 1:52:06
  know, like Attack on Titan and they talk about the final
• 1:52:08
  season. And how it's basically like what
• 1:52:11
  side you're on determines how you view us such as Certain
• 1:52:16
  situation. And that's how I felt like the
• 1:52:18
  conversation was going in the end of Liquors recoil.
• 1:52:21
  And to me, that was just so profound, and I've struggled so
• 1:52:25
  much putting it up there, but because that moment happened a
• 1:52:28
  little later on, even with all the growth I was like, you know
• 1:52:31
  what? I'm putting it in honorable
• 1:52:33
  mentions but that was a great show and the cutscenes those
• 1:52:36
  little cutscenes. They're so cool.
• 1:52:39
  Yeah, different than other shows.
• 1:52:43
  So they did the best licorice recoil.
• 1:52:46
  And also I love the fashion them girls was dressed.
• 1:52:51
  That's a that to they were they were and I love the traditional
• 1:52:56
  outfits. They were at the cafe.
• 1:52:58
  It was cute. I really liked it.
• 1:53:02
  So yeah. Those two spy family by Family
• 1:53:07
  took the World by storm and I really did love it.
• 1:53:10
  It was super wholesome. It's actually I've known about
• 1:53:13
  it since the manga first came Out since volume 1 and I
• 1:53:18
  researched it soon as it took the World by storm when it
• 1:53:21
  dropped. And I was upset that there was
• 1:53:24
  no manga. Sorry, no anime because I was an
• 1:53:26
  anime only at this time. I've only dived into manga this
• 1:53:30
  year actually. So I waited all this time and
• 1:53:34
  spy family was the first manga ever purchased because I was
• 1:53:37
  like I will read it her friend. I do like volume 1 and then all
• 1:53:43
  of a sudden years later became an anime and I was like my time
• 1:53:46
  is here but I love this story and I love it but it's just it's
• 1:53:52
  so it's so nice to just, you know, as a casual watch.
• 1:53:56
  Yes. So that's why I feel great
• 1:53:57
  things put it up there but the two things that I love the most
• 1:54:02
  as someone who sings and does music, the intro song And the
• 1:54:08
  outro song, everybody loves the outro song comedy and it's
• 1:54:12
  great. Yeah, but for me, it's the intro
• 1:54:16
  song and the the band, I love them.
• 1:54:18
  They're my favorite band ever. So I just thought it was well
• 1:54:22
  done. I just you know so spy family
• 1:54:26
  that's there, I have two more. Yeah.
• 1:54:29
  And they're both price of lives, the slice of lives seem to not
• 1:54:34
  make it quite up on the list as much but that Kamisama Kiss.
• 1:54:39
  Well, I guess more romance. Yeah, it's an older anime.
• 1:54:47
  It's a Shoujo. A lot of people already know
• 1:54:49
  about it. So when people heard that I was
• 1:54:51
  watching it, they thought that was really cool.
• 1:54:54
  I enjoyed it because it's one of the first shows that I saw where
• 1:54:57
  the woman MC actually admits her feelings to herself way early
• 1:55:03
  on, and it's for him to decide if he wants to, like pursue
• 1:55:07
  because she tells Has him straight up.
• 1:55:08
  Like I love you and she's like, you gotta get, like, get it
• 1:55:12
  together. And so it's like, even though
• 1:55:14
  he's not the MC, it's kind of watching him come to terms with
• 1:55:19
  something because she already is like, this is what I want and I
• 1:55:23
  don't, I don't mind if it takes you a while to get there.
• 1:55:25
  So I thought that was cool. Yeah.
• 1:55:27
  Because I don't, I I'm fine with, you know, women and MCS,
• 1:55:32
  being a little bit more Shire, or things like that.
• 1:55:35
  But I really think that there is a space for a woman.
• 1:55:38
  Be the main character and not just a side character and be
• 1:55:42
  true to herself confident, you know, in control and that's, you
• 1:55:46
  know, some of the things that why people really like the new
• 1:55:48
  Gundam which Mercury, which set out to Ked from chaotic culture
• 1:55:53
  podcast, he was you know, Gundam King and he's the one who told
• 1:55:58
  me to watch it so it's on my list as one of the next things
• 1:56:02
  I'm going to watch. So all of that to say I really
• 1:56:05
  love more. We need more women MCs He's so
• 1:56:09
  can we just missed it? And the last one, very last one
• 1:56:14
  and then, I'll be quiet is Barack come on, it doesn't have
• 1:56:20
  a, it's basically, it's another slice of Life.
• 1:56:25
  The MC, he is a, what do you call it?
• 1:56:31
  He is an artist, but he makes he writes characters, Japanese
• 1:56:36
  traditional care, Allegra fee. Literacy.
• 1:56:39
  There we go. He's a calligraphy artist and he
• 1:56:42
  wants to be like the best in the world.
• 1:56:44
  His father was like really famous and he is working on his
• 1:56:48
  things. People typically tell him that
• 1:56:51
  he is to buy the book and it looks very standard and there
• 1:56:55
  were looking for something to have a lot of creativity.
• 1:56:58
  So he gets he ends up going to like a town and you know like an
• 1:57:04
  offshore like C-Town that you know, by the The countryside and
• 1:57:10
  the other characters basically helped.
• 1:57:12
  Give him inspiration for his art.
• 1:57:14
  It's super wholesome. This is another one where the
• 1:57:17
  little girl impacts the main character and some of the things
• 1:57:22
  that they talked about in some of like the gems are just
• 1:57:25
  really, really great so much so that I debate putting it in my,
• 1:57:30
  like top 10 of like all the time, you know.
• 1:57:33
  Yeah but for this it doesn't hit the top ten of the year.
• 1:57:38
  I say in terms of all the other anime but it's definitely
• 1:57:41
  something I would tell people. Awesome, awesome.
• 1:57:45
  And I have one more thing I want to shout out real quick just
• 1:57:48
  because so there was an anime that I super love to last year.
• 1:57:54
  But the final like two or three episodes, got delayed like
• 1:57:59
  several months and that is 8686. Okay, so that's also on my
• 1:58:09
  actually. Yes so this is also another
• 1:58:13
  Mecca but it is just the story, the characters, the lore of
• 1:58:20
  what's going on in this world are some of the best I have seen
• 1:58:25
  in recent years and the ending to this to that to that season
• 1:58:33
  was fantastic because this also heavy outro music playing over
• 1:58:39
  the final scenes and it was 12 where I literally, I was
• 1:58:44
  shedding tears as well because It was just like the stuff that
• 1:58:47
  was happening in those final moments.
• 1:58:50
  It was just such a build-up from the very beginning all the way
• 1:58:55
  to this big moment happening and then it was just like, wow.
• 1:59:00
  So say it. So I had to make sure I mention
• 1:59:04
  that one in there whatever. So but as we talked about,
• 1:59:09
  there's been so many freaking anime this year.
• 1:59:11
  There's there's a bunch that I have like And progress cuz I cuz
• 1:59:17
  I still haven't finished all of her JoJo Stone ocean yet.
• 1:59:23
  So I'm like chipping away at that and lots of other anime and
• 1:59:28
  stuff. So but but yeah there's like we
• 1:59:32
  said in the beginning, this has been such a fantastic year for
• 1:59:39
  anime that yeah, I feel like you you could have found Something
• 1:59:48
  something to watch somewhere. And so, with that being said, I
• 1:59:54
  want to do one final thing. Before we wrap up, looking
• 1:59:58
  towards next year, 2023. Is there another might be hard
• 2:00:05
  to pick but what is maybe one show that is on your radar of
• 2:00:12
  like yo, that is one that I am waiting.
• 2:00:19
  Just one. Just one.
• 2:00:25
  Okay. Well, you know what?
• 2:00:27
  I already said it so since I already said it, I'll sneak into
• 2:00:33
  so jobless reincarnation. I told you January 1st, I'm
• 2:00:37
  ready. I am ready.
• 2:00:39
  That is the one, but if I were to pick something else, I'm also
• 2:00:45
  excited. I think dr.
• 2:00:47
  Stone's coming out. Yeah.
• 2:00:49
  April, thank you. Stone and slime.
• 2:00:55
  Another movie comes to the states next year and it's all
• 2:00:58
  right now, but they're not mistaken.
• 2:01:01
  They might be another season coming.
• 2:01:03
  I think so. Cuz actually, I'm pretty sure
• 2:01:06
  because I think that they had announced two and three
• 2:01:09
  together. And so I'm pretty sure that you
• 2:01:12
  had that day yet, that that's coming.
• 2:01:14
  But I'm like, yeah, I'm yeah, doc doctor sounds a good pick
• 2:01:17
  mine. Fine for me up there.
• 2:01:22
  Yes, dr. Stone is cool too.
• 2:01:25
  I wanted to mention that before when you were talking about
• 2:01:28
  parallel world Pharmacy and when you were talking about like the
• 2:01:32
  different materials and stuff like that, watching, you know
• 2:01:35
  dr. Stone and watching him have to,
• 2:01:36
  like come up with everything and how things are created.
• 2:01:40
  And even the little cut scenes of saying like, hey guys, this
• 2:01:43
  is actually how you make a bomb. Don't try this at home, things
• 2:01:46
  like that. Is it makes Dance, like, you
• 2:01:50
  know, it puts signs in a different perspective and I
• 2:01:53
  think it makes people find something interesting in
• 2:01:56
  something they didn't previously, think they'd be
• 2:01:58
  interested in. So, those are what I'm excited
• 2:02:01
  for, yes. All right, so, How about you?
• 2:02:07
  I will also mentioned to one is one that I am struggling to not
• 2:02:14
  read the Manga for is very tempting but but that is a
• 2:02:19
  hell's Paradise. Mmm-hmm because I decided not to
• 2:02:26
  read it. Yeah, I think I think imma try
• 2:02:29
  to stick to that because I've heard nothing but great things,
• 2:02:33
  and I know it's complete, but I think I want to try to be a
• 2:02:37
  anime only person for this at least, to start.
• 2:02:40
  We'll see where I'm at a few episodes in but that and then,
• 2:02:46
  of course, How could I not mention?
• 2:02:54
  I knew, I knew it. Yeah.
• 2:02:57
  You try again? Stampede because for one is try
• 2:03:03
  again. Y'all know I have my freaking
• 2:03:06
  son is named after the main character of Ash but I am just
• 2:03:10
  excited about the potential because I'm a little saddened.
• 2:03:18
  No, I understand. But I'm still a little saddened
• 2:03:20
  of how many people are immediately saying that they're
• 2:03:23
  not going. To watch it and did their
• 2:03:24
  writing it off because of his going to have CG and stuff.
• 2:03:29
  But I say come on, people have an open mind and at least watch
• 2:03:37
  the first episode. Hey, if you watch the first
• 2:03:39
  episode of you're like no that's fine but don't just immediately,
• 2:03:43
  I don't want it because if this actually does fully tell the
• 2:03:50
  full story of the manga like they said it's supposed Then
• 2:03:55
  this is going to be a wild ride. So subtracting Stampede and
• 2:04:01
  hell's Paradise or my to now, with that being said, I think
• 2:04:07
  that is going to do it for our favorite, animes of 2022,
