• 0:03
  What's up y'all? And welcome back to Danny's to
• 0:06
  talk, I'm your host, Robert. And today, today we're going to
• 0:10
  be diving into a manga called are didn't ring the road to the
• 0:15
  ER tree. Now this is a very this is a
• 0:21
  very interesting manga for for a couple of reasons for one.
• 0:27
  It is a crossover between two. Different hobbies that I enjoy
• 0:33
  gaming, and manga. And the manga itself was
• 0:38
  actually a really nice surprise. Now, of course, before I dive
• 0:43
  into it, of course, I got to, you know, give a shout out and
• 0:46
  thanks to the publisher and press for providing me with a
• 0:52
  digital review, copy, and yeah. And so, like I said, it's
• 0:57
  published by Yen press. And the story art of this or the
• 1:02
  at this adaptation is by nikichi tobita.
• 1:07
  But, of course, the original creators of the ordering series
• 1:12
  is from software now, firm software, which Speaking of
• 1:19
  which those, you are, watching the video version of this.
• 1:22
  I'm of course, rocking my blood-borne shirt May you find
• 1:29
  your worth in the waking world? This is like, one of my all-time
• 1:33
  favorite shirts. Shout out to my homie Kelly from
• 1:36
  back in the day. God gave me this many years back
• 1:38
  from blood-borne came out but I have I have been kind of like
• 1:46
  Loosely a fan of from software stuff from a distance.
• 1:51
  So to speak because I've did my toe in some of the stuff like,
• 1:55
  of course, Play through blood-borne.
• 1:59
  Love that game. I think I paid through a little
• 2:01
  bit of like Dark Souls 3. Maybe a, some other Dark Souls
• 2:04
  back in the day. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten
• 2:07
  to play second row or outer ring itself, but that's kind of where
• 2:15
  things get very interesting with this.
• 2:17
  Because this manga, as, as somebody who even though I
• 2:22
  didn't play outer ring, I have a pretty good General.
• 2:31
  General knowledge of the series just because I watched dozens of
• 2:36
  hours of people streaming get especially that those early
• 2:40
  parts of the game. So a lot of these like some,
• 2:44
  like certain character names and different stuff.
• 2:46
  And of course, I certain just Beams and tropes and stuff of
• 2:53
  from software games. I'm just familiar with, like I
• 2:55
  said, just between playing blood-borne and they're just
• 2:58
  common things, you know, DNA that a lot of the gangs and
• 3:03
  stuff sharing between. And so honestly, I was I was a
• 3:07
  little bit hesitant going into reading this because Because I
• 3:14
  hadn't played the game. I was like, well I don't know if
• 3:17
  there would be anything in here for me, you know, because I'm
• 3:19
  like, okay, maybe this would be just like a retelling of it or
• 3:22
  whatever and then might be nothing in there but I decided
• 3:25
  to give it a chance. And I'm glad I did because
• 3:28
  surprisingly, this is actually a gag manga of sorts.
• 3:34
  Now they start of it and I'm going to show just a little bit.
• 3:39
  It's like comparison of the manga starts off with them,
• 3:46
  going through a more or less kind of like a close shot for
• 3:52
  shot of that opening, cinematic of the game with the dramatic
• 3:59
  narration and talking about all the different demigods.
• 4:03
  Sighs and what happened up until the part where it says, you
• 4:07
  know, arise ye tarnished. But, you know, as I'm reading
• 4:15
  this, of course, like in my head, you know, I, I can just
• 4:20
  hear the narration oxygen has just been familiar with the
• 4:22
  games and stuff, whatever. But then it gets to a point to
• 4:26
  where it gets to the best Glee showing the, the main character
• 4:32
  and It's pretty much just like in the character creation where
• 4:36
  you can do like different custom bills.
• 4:39
  And a lot of people do basically like a no armor run, that is
• 4:43
  what this main character starts off with in this in the manga
• 4:47
  where he literally is, just that nothing but underwear.
• 4:54
  And I can remember her name, the, the maiden in the
• 4:59
  beginning. She has basically like this.
• 5:02
  This can't be. This can't be the The Chosen
• 5:06
  One. Basically that we've been
• 5:08
  waiting for and the freaking first chapter is literally named
• 5:13
  you thought this would be serious, didn't you?
• 5:18
  And that's when it kind of hooked me.
• 5:20
  Because like I said, of course, I was all here for it for The
• 5:23
  Dramatics and stuff like that because because I enjoyed
• 5:27
  watching all these streams and all the sin, all the different
• 5:30
  stuff. On the world of outer ring but
• 5:34
  it was kind of like like this record scratch moment.
• 5:38
  It's where I'm like, wait and then as I continue to read it,
• 5:44
  they do a nice job of like I said, hitting some of those
• 5:48
  story points and stuff. Like, of course, you know,
• 5:51
  you're the main character encounters, the giant armored do
• 5:57
  this riding around the, the horse and that opening area.
• 6:02
  Of course, you encounter the kind of shady-looking dude in
• 6:06
  the castle just like, hey, there's a shortcut this Sway.
• 6:10
  Of course, there's godric. Of course, there is a Ronnie.
• 6:15
  Of course, there is a, the, the wolf dude.
• 6:18
  I'm that you do a side quest for the game blade.
• 6:22
  I don't know. Must forgive me from
• 6:24
  mispronounced any of these names but And blade.
• 6:29
  For example, I never really saw him too much, any of the
• 6:32
  gameplay stuff that I watching the streams, I wash whatever.
• 6:36
  So I was like okay. And I googled an hour and I
• 6:39
  literally paused my reading and I watched like some of like his
• 6:46
  footage from his side quest and stuff whatever and the fight
• 6:50
  that happens with the person you're going on or side quests
• 6:55
  with him for whatever happens in the mind.
• 6:57
  But like I said, there's different gags and tropes and
• 7:00
  stuff all along the way to even wear.
• 7:04
  Like when you're like, leveling up and stuff, and the maidens,
• 7:07
  like, you're stupid, we're going to dump all your all your
• 7:11
  experience at the leveling up your intelligence and just
• 7:14
  little stuff like that. So all in all this is just me
• 7:17
  just just straight to the point saying this was an unexpected
• 7:23
  fun, read. And like I said if you're
• 7:26
  somebody like me, Me who maybe you've maybe play some of the
• 7:31
  games in the past, like, you know, blood-borne or some of the
• 7:34
  Dark Souls games. Maybe even play do during, but I
• 7:37
  feel like I said, somebody who primarily just experienced those
• 7:41
  series from afar but enjoy even just watching streams over where
• 7:46
  that then you might get a at least a fun kick out of reading
• 7:50
  this because like I said, you get some sprinkles of actual
• 7:55
  story and World building but just with a funny Twist on
• 8:00
  different things happening within the world.
• 8:01
  Collect said, he still goes through those three beasts and
• 8:05
  counters. These characters still going on
• 8:08
  side quests, and getting items and all this other weird stuff,
• 8:13
  But they have fun along the way, literally almost breaking the
• 8:18
  fourth wall, and some of the stuff and I said that, that's
• 8:22
  what just made it. Just such a, such a fun and
• 8:26
  like, say unexpected read I think in a band about 70, 177
• 8:33
  pages, I believe and I think you have maybe like seven eight
• 8:37
  chapters something like that. So pretty pretty, pretty decent
• 8:42
  length. 'The like, said all things
• 8:45
  considered I said, if somebody went in not really knowing what
• 8:48
  to expect. I came out on the other end,
• 8:51
  very happy with my time reading this and I wouldn't mind reading
• 8:58
  more. Like I said, just because I'm
• 8:59
  interested in seeing more of this, interpretation of the
• 9:03
  world and this journey and stuff and so who knows honestly.
• 9:09
  Hey I would be down. For maybe like a goofy anime
• 9:16
  adaptation of this, whatever. So but of course, I don't know.
• 9:20
  I would be curious to see how hardcore ordering fans would
• 9:26
  react to reading this as people who actually play through an
• 9:30
  experience with their blacks. It is somebody who just kind of
• 9:33
  expensive from a distance, whatever.
• 9:35
  This is a very fun read and one that I would like to definitely
• 9:40
  recommend, maybe not, you know, if I don't know, maybe if you do
• 9:44
  get it at full price has wet, let me see USS 13 bucks, you
• 9:49
  know, maybe even catching on Stellar some point but I don't
• 9:53
  know. Hey, this was an elder and bring
• 9:55
  the road to the, ER, tree was a very, very fun, fun read.
• 10:01
  And sometimes you can't ask for nothing more than that, you
• 10:05
  know, such me just like all the crazy stuff going on in the
• 10:07
  world and just sometimes like some manga take themselves too
• 10:10
  seriously. This was nice to kind of get
• 10:12
  that. unexpected, swerve of, they kind of having the the the
• 10:16
  comedic angle And stop stop, but I'm being so, shout out to
• 10:23
  impress. Once again, thanks for the copy.
• 10:25
  And like I said, shout out to her from software for creating
• 10:28
  such a lower-end wrist World. They got adapted to this other
• 10:37
  thing. Other Quicken is also known as
• 10:38
  well as I love how at the end of every chapter, they do item
• 10:43
  descriptions like they do in the game to where there might be an
• 10:46
  item that they might kind of show in the chapter whatever or
• 10:52
  they might show it in a more goofy or way than the game.
• 10:55
  But at the end of the chapter, they always go through my, hey,
• 10:58
  this is what this item is, this is what it's used for in the
• 11:01
  game but they are all. They also also have like a
• 11:05
  second little box underneath that with the main character,
• 11:09
  doing something Goofy and in relation to the item and stuff,
• 11:13
  whatever. So, because even like, when he
• 11:16
  got his Bell to summon, The other the, the astral wolves and
• 11:22
  he the main character freaking name them and and the Wolves
• 11:28
  just scattered to the winds when they went to godric.
• 11:32
  But but yeah following are like said I don't need to go through
• 11:35
  the full play-by-play of the series blacks.
• 11:38
  I just wanted to just share my joy from reading this manga so
• 11:46
  let me know. Out there, which I think of
• 11:49
  this. If from both sides like I said,
• 11:53
  if if you haven't played earlier rain but you maybe know it from
• 11:57
  a distance, does this interest you?
• 11:58
  And also hey, if you have played it does reading this interest
• 12:03
  you, I'll be very curious to know, but but it's always.
• 12:08
