• 0:04
  What's up y'all and welcome back to Daddy to talk, I am house,
• 0:07
  Robert. And today we're going to be
• 0:09
  talking about Saturn Apartments volumes 1 & 2.
• 0:16
  So yeah, so this is a slightly older series that ran from 2005
• 0:27
  to 2011, across 11 volumes. So not a super long series.
• 0:33
  Some in general, but it is, you know, about the dates a little
• 0:38
  bit of, of all the series. And yeah, so like she just
• 0:43
  wanted just to give quick thoughts on, you know, these
• 0:46
  first couple couple volumes and if we want to say first off,
• 0:51
  shout out to the homey Gemini manga because I found out about
• 0:57
  this series through a recommendations video.
• 0:59
  He did sometime sometime last year and so yeah.
• 1:06
  Decided to track down this series and check it out.
• 1:09
  So shout out to Gemini manga, go check them out, show them some
• 1:13
  love. And so yeah.
• 1:16
  So with with this being at older series sum of the volumes of
• 1:22
  this are very hard to find. So luckily I was able to give
• 1:26
  volumes 1 & 2 but pretty much for sure.
• 1:31
  Bottom three. Four maybe five are like super
• 1:35
  tough to come across or they're super expensive.
• 1:38
  Just because I think that, you know, the series is more or less
• 1:40
  than kind of out of print for a while and so it's like, okay, so
• 1:45
  I think I might end up going digital for the rest of it
• 1:50
  except for Volume 7 because I saw Volume 7 is available.
• 1:53
  So I think I think it'd be kind of nice to these have the first
• 1:56
  couple physical the last one physical and then, you know, I
• 1:59
  can I can finish up the rest in between Tween but so Saturn
• 2:04
  Apartments so funny thing is. So the first time I heard about
• 2:08
  this from from Gemini's video and I was doing some initial
• 2:12
  research misheard, / wasn't paying attention and I thought
• 2:16
  it was saying Saturday Apartments which I figured I was
• 2:19
  like kind of a bit of comedic irony I'll put this out on
• 2:23
  Saturday but I was searching. I was Googling Saturday
• 2:27
  Apartments manga and I couldn't find nothing.
• 2:31
  Now It is, you know, very few people over the years, have even
• 2:35
  covered this series, let alone, you know, trying to find any
• 2:41
  information if you're not such about the right name.
• 2:44
  So yeah, so Saturn apartment. So so first of all, you know,
• 2:50
  just kind of just going over the, the general premise of the
• 2:52
  series. So, or the synopsis so far in
• 2:59
  the future humankind, has he evacuated the Earth in order to
• 3:03
  preserve it humans. Now reside in a gigantic
• 3:06
  structure that forms a ring around the earth, 35 kilometers
• 3:11
  up in the sky. The Society of the ring is
• 3:14
  highly strategy. Stratified, of course, the high
• 3:17
  class. That's at the top of the Ring.
• 3:19
  Middle class lower class. And so the main character is
• 3:24
  mitsui. The lowly son of a window.
• 3:27
  Washer has just graduated Junior High, when his father.
• 3:31
  The peers and is assumed dead mitsu must take on his father's
• 3:36
  occupation. As he struggles with the
• 3:38
  transition to the working. Life mitsu's Drive treats him to
• 3:41
  an outsider's view into the living room, dioramas of the
• 3:45
  Saturn Apartments as so. Yeah.
• 3:48
  So it's kind of a slice-of-life suit or sci-fi series, but also
• 3:53
  kind of say, maybe like a little bit of minor Slice of Life
• 3:57
  because And he's like going off about these first couple volumes
• 4:01
  and just kind of how things are structured.
• 4:02
  Whatever it is, it is really just following mitsui around as
• 4:08
  he's going to go into these different jobs and interacting
• 4:10
  with other window washers and stuff.
• 4:13
  As ya like I said like it's like the synopsis a like him trying
• 4:16
  to figure out like what happened to his father.
• 4:20
  That's all they know. Is that he was out doing a job.
• 4:23
  Which first of all, That's a scary freaking job because I'll
• 4:28
  be I'll be saying nope to normal Window Washers that we doing,
• 4:33
  you know, cleaning own skyscrapers.
• 4:36
  Let alone you telling me you outside washing windows cleaning
• 4:42
  windows on a structure that is in outer.
• 4:45
  Space floating way above the Earth.
• 4:48
  No, thank you. But um but yeah but with this
• 4:53
  series, you know, of course he's definitely had no action or
• 4:57
  nothing really but there is definitely like some suspense
• 5:00
  and stuff just because You know, the saying some things might
• 5:04
  happen potential accidents, or whatever days, at my
• 5:08
  competition, called the person to fall off, you know, off of
• 5:12
  the Ring. So yeah, so definitely some some
• 5:19
  some stress inducing thoughts. You know, like I said, just kind
• 5:23
  of just seeing them do their jobs but I'm but yeah, but it's
• 5:29
  honestly this series is really about the characters.
• 5:33
  You know, about Missy trying to figure out who he is trying to
• 5:37
  figure out stuff about his father because you know his
• 5:42
  father you know, is gone. And presumed dead.
• 5:47
  And so through, working this job, mix between the other
• 5:53
  window washers that he's working with on the team as well as I
• 5:56
  different customers, they run into he slowly starts to learn
• 5:59
  and piece together. Information about his father who
• 6:03
  his father was, you know, beyond the man that he knew you know,
• 6:07
  because you know because his dad was always working a lot and
• 6:11
  things of that nature. So you know he knew him but
• 6:14
  didn't fully know him, you know. But but yeah it's just like a
• 6:18
  really chill series, you know? Definitely a very, very
• 6:23
  slow-paced and slow-moving, you know, like I said, not now
• 6:28
  really like no action, heavy stuff, whatever.
• 6:31
  But it is just kind of neat in a way, you know, singing like it
• 6:37
  like this. And after said, getting a look
• 6:40
  inside. And yeah, get just getting a
• 6:45
  chance to see like a peek inside the lives of all these different
• 6:50
  people. As, you know, as they're kind
• 6:55
  of, you know, washing the windows and stuff and kind of
• 6:57
  like, looking down through the glass and seeing, you know,
• 7:01
  these different people. And, you know, it, I don't know,
• 7:06
  like I said, it's kind of hard or what you're trying to
• 7:08
  describe whatever. But just in general, it just
• 7:11
  does a really good job. Like I said, I've just kind of
• 7:14
  really putting you into this world and feel like you're going
• 7:19
  through, you know, the the day-to-day ends and outs of
• 7:23
  these. yeah, but I am definitely going to continue to read it
• 7:29
  because like I said, I've enjoyed both of these volumes
• 7:33
  and I definitely want to You know, find out if if will we
• 7:38
  learn, you know continue to learn more about his father
• 7:41
  continued. Maybe learn that his father
• 7:43
  actually died that he just, you know, somehow fall down and make
• 7:46
  it to Earth or whatever. So that's all that that's enough
• 7:51
  to kind of like keep me interested and keep me wanted to
• 7:54
  be curious to know more. Now, the only problem I kind of
• 7:57
  have what the series is like with with the art style of it.
• 8:02
  A lot of times with some of the characters and stuff sometimes
• 8:06
  it'd be kind of it can be kind of hard to tell how old somebody
• 8:12
  is just because like they all kind of have like these like
• 8:15
  really round Kitty look at faces.
• 8:19
  You know? Of course you know some of them
• 8:20
  you know they might be looking a bit wrinkly or whatever and
• 8:25
  stuff to kind of like Noah's to kind of show.
• 8:27
  Okay. This is an older person but
• 8:30
  there's been times to like a character.
• 8:32
  Oh, it's another kid like him and there's no, no this person
• 8:35
  is 30 or 40 years old, you know? But Yeah, so that that that's
• 8:42
  honestly light. Like, really, the only complaint
• 8:45
  I have so far from reading. These two volumes is just like,
• 8:48
  sometimes to design of the characters, it's hard to really
• 8:51
  tell until they outright say, oh, hey, mr.
• 8:55
  And mrs. Or hey, buddy.
• 8:56
  Hey, Frank, you know, type of stuff.
• 8:58
  So, but um, but yeah, so Yeah, like I just wanted to kind of
• 9:03
  give my thoughts on the series The you know, next time you hear
• 9:06
  me talking about this, at least like an individual thing, you
• 9:09
  know? Hopefully I'll be whenever I get
• 9:10
  around to reading the rest of the volume.
• 9:11
  So like I said, it's only seven volumes So not super long so
• 9:16
  I'll be slowly buying them and reading them as time goes on and
• 9:20
  then. Yeah.
• 9:21
  In the future look forward to a full overview of the whole
• 9:25
  series once I get to that point. But yeah but yeah.
• 9:30
  So if any of this sounds interesting and maybe go out
• 9:35
  here to try to find a copy online or like I said if you
• 9:38
  don't mind buying digital they're all available digitally
• 9:41
  you know and candle books and Google bugs so on and so forth,
• 9:48
  whatever. So it's definitely easy to find
• 9:50
  visually very hard to find it. He's like with that pain Crazy
• 9:54
  Prices physically but yeah, so check it out.
• 9:58
  Like says that in apartments, it's seven volumes total.
• 10:04
  The author is his say I was car, probably butchered of the name.
• 10:11

• 10:14
  series. Stop but anywho I never amblin.
