  Hey, it's your whatever, Michelle, And this is a special episode where
• 0:06
  I just apologize a lot, so let's just get on with the apology.
• 0:10
  I am really really sorry, but I started Tokyo Avengers and then panicked about
• 0:17
  it because I am exhausted and I have a lot of work and I don't
• 0:24
  think I can commit to a two core anime right now, so I'm gonna
• 0:31
  have to stop. I mean there are other reasons too. As I've watched
• 0:35
  some more episodes because I was a little bit further than what I have published,
• 0:41
  I remembered how like not very good this is. It's not bad,
• 0:47
  but there's just so much going on that's weird and kind of nonsensical about the
• 0:54
  narrative that is only fun to talk about like one time, and then it
• 0:59
  just keeps going, going and going, and then it's not fun anymore.
• 1:03
  So I have to back away from Tokyo Revengers, and I'm really sorry.
• 1:07
  If you were really interested in the first episode or the second episode, that's
• 1:12
  that's how far we got. You can go and like watch the show yourself
• 1:19
  and it'll probably be less upsetting than me just talking to you about it.
• 1:22
  Anyway. So here's what we're gonna do, and if you waited and you're
• 1:29
  done with me forever, I totally understand. But I am going to start
• 1:33
  covering a show that's airing currently that's only going to be probably one core,
• 1:38
  I hope, and that is wind Breaker. And maybe you're thinking, oh,
• 1:44
  I know wind Breaker. That's a Korean webcomic. No, it's not
• 1:49
  that one. It's the other one. It's the manga. I don't like
• 1:52
  that they have the same name, or that wind Breaker makes more sense for
• 1:56
  the webcomic one because it's about people riding bikes or something. I don't know.
• 2:00
  This Windbreaker is about delinquent's fighting each other. I figured, if we're
• 2:04
  not gonna do Tokyo Revengers, we might as well take the same concept and
• 2:07
  do another one, except that there's no time travel in this. I don't
• 2:10
  think it would be so cool if I found out that there's time traveling Windbreaker,
• 2:15
  but I don't think there is. It's just about a kid who moves
• 2:19
  to a new town with a really rough high school, and he's excited because
• 2:23
  he's gonna beat the shit out of everyone and get respected for once in his
• 2:28
  goddamn life. So, and you may or may not know that. I
• 2:31
  love watching people beat each other up in anime, so I figure this will
• 2:37
  be fun. I've already watched the first couple of episodes we're gonna be like
• 2:40
  two weeks behind or so or three, and they were really good. The
• 2:45
  first episode was great, So I have some relatively minor hopes for this.
• 2:53
  And if it's bad, it's not like Tokyo Revengers is gonna be any better,
• 2:58
  So it's all the same, right, I don't know, so you
• 3:02
  know, just so you have kind of an idea of like the staff and
• 3:06
  what's going on. As I said, it's based on a manga by Satuo
• 3:12
  Ni and the director is a Kai Toshifumi, who does not have a lot
• 3:19
  of directorial credits. I think the only thing they've been a complete director on
• 3:23
  that's like an anime series was Fake Grand Order, whatever part of that was
• 3:28
  released in twenty nineteen. They have done a lot of key animation and also
• 3:32
  episode directions, so that's good. And it's also being produced at Cloverworks Studio,
• 3:40
  which has been pretty solid for the last couple of years after the whole
• 3:46
  fiasco with that show that I don't want to talk about. Promised Neverland and
• 3:52
  the other show that I don't want to talk about. Wow, I don't
• 3:54
  want to talk about it so much. I don't even remember what it's called
• 3:58
  right now, so we're just not going to say it's name. But since
• 4:00
  then, they've kind of fought their way back to be good and relevant again,
• 4:04
  and based on the first and second episode, I have a really good
• 4:09
  feeling about how this is going to handle the contrast between like the action and
• 4:13
  drama and comedy that's in the manga. I did start reading the manga too,
• 4:16
  to just make sure I wasn't making a huge mistake, but then I
• 4:18
  stopped myself after a couple chapters because I was like, I actually really liked
• 4:23
  this enough that I don't want to read ahead. I was really into the
• 4:27
  first and second episode. I watched them on the same day because I somehow
• 4:30
  missed when the first episode came out, so I watched them like a day
• 4:33
  after the second episode was released and was immediately like, no, I would
• 4:39
  really like more of this, So yeah, we'll see where this goes.
• 4:44
  And again, if you just want to like leave and never talk to me
• 4:48
  again, I totally understand. But I'll be back next week with the first
• 4:53
  episode and going forward, hopefully we'll be able to complete this no problem,
• 4:59
  and then I will take the summer off, and then as long as this
• 5:02
  goes well, I will probably be back in the fall for a dunda Dan.
• 5:08
  That's the goal at least. But I do just want to preface this
• 5:11
  by saying I am not in a good financial state right now, and I
• 5:15
  need to really take as much time as possible to work. And since I
• 5:19
  have opportunities with my part time job now where I talk to the AI and
• 5:26
  try and make it do a better job, I really need to take every
• 5:30
  opportunity I can get to kind of crawl out of the hole that I've made
• 5:34
  trying to start my business. So I can't guarantee anything going forward, but
• 5:42
  I'm going to try my best to just not disappoint you anymore than I already
• 5:46
  disappoint you every week. So again, sorry about this, and I'll see
• 5:51
  you next week as long as the world doesn't end, which it might,
• 5:56
  so I hope you a really good whatever. See yea bye bye.
