  Speaker 1: Yeah that's what I kind of chuckle on the inside.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Because it's the tenth annual Country Role Anime Awards and
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: I'm going ten years of this and there are gonna
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: be people that are gonna go on really and it's saying, no,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: come on, we've been on this for all these years.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: How do you react to that?
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Do you?
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Is it like martial arts, no matter what, you're always
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: going to meet a white belt and you've got to
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: go to their level.
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: I think that's the fund bit though, Oh is bringing
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: in new people and talking about some you know, something
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: that you love and they love you know. It's you know,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: even if they're new, even if they're experience, it's it's
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: fun all around. So just like martial arts, as long
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: as you're having fun, you know, if you're having.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Fun, well, don't you think that. One of the things
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: that has made anime so strong with our structure of
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: life is the fact that it is about the lifestyle.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: It's about community, It's about what we wear, how we're speaking,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: how we treat people. I mean, it really does come
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: from that source. You can be in the everyday world
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: looking at somebody and go, I know what anime you're watching?
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: I think that's what makes anime so special as a
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: medium is that it can have all of those things
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: in one single show, and it can have you know,
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: there can be ten shows that do one of those
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: things super well, and that no matter what you're into,
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: you can find the show for you. But to your point, like, yeah,
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: you can walk around and people are showing their fandom
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: in a ton of ways.
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: Whether it's like they're literally wearing the merch from their
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: favorite show, or they might just be.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Like, you know, wearing clothes that are color coded to something,
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: and it's like if you know, you know, And so
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: it is really cool to see that spectrum, you guys.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: I actually had a student in my broadcasting class. She
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: sat there and said, well, I want to get into
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: broadcasting because I'm an anime professional. I said, what are
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: you talking about. She travels the country and competes in
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: competitions for setting up anime scenes up on that stage.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: And I guess there's a competition for that, and I'm
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: going back those crunchy role know about this. She knew
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: about you guys in a frickin hard beat.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot of convention have a whole ton
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: of uh, you know, tournaments, competitions, you know friendly of course,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: you know, you have karaoke competitions, cosplay competitions, and yeah,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: there's like anime scene recreation and just yeah, a bunch
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: of people having fun and I'm glad.
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: I'm glad they know about us. Yeah, that's good to know.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And does it excite you though when pop music
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: is now becoming a part of it, because I think
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: it's going to reach beyond K pop. First of all,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: I love me some K pop, but I think eventually
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: it's going to make it to the Goo Goo Dolls
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: and they're gonna say, yeah, this was part of the anime.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, we love I'd love to work with the
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: Googurt Dolls.
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah yeah. You know, Iris is one of the greatest
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: songs ever written.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: No, I think it's It's one of the things that
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: we focus on at crunch Role is like seeing the
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: impact of anime on broader culture.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: At crunch Roll, I co host a podcast called The
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: Anime Effect, and we quite literally have massive musicians and
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: celebrities and artists and creators on the show every week
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: talking about their fandom and the influence that anime has
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: had on their work. And now I need to know
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: if the lead singer of the Goo Goo Dolls is
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: an anime fan.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: But see, you know, there's a lot of closet anime
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: fans out there, because there's a guy that I know,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: he's up in his sixties and he tells me all
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: the time, do not tell anybody I watch it. He said,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: why this is not a kid? Come on, dude, And
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: then of all things, he going and he has to
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: break it down for me. I don't watch the stuff
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: that's that looks like normal anime. It's got to be
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: really really digital AI technology driven and I'm going I'll
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: give you that, but I still love the original roots
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: of where anime is coming from.
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you should tell him that that that animes.

  Speaker 2: Yeah, and everyone's repping anime. They'll love the anime now
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: in the open. So yeah, if you're listening, sir, you
• 4:48

• 4:58
  Speaker 1: We are back Tim and Nicholas. So like during the
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: eleventh Annual Anime Awards, will you involve Regal because Regal
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Movie theaters have really embraced anime with their festivals that
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: go on all year long, and I just love the
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: fact that these theaters have finally realized there's an audience here.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: They're going to buy popcorn and they're going to buy tickets.
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: I mean think about the way that anime has kind
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: of exploded onto the box office scene in the last
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: ten years. It used to be might go and you
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: get a couple of days, but now it's you know,
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: movies like Demonslayer, Infinity Castle or are breaking records and
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: they're packed theaters. You're getting to watch it with English subtitles,
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: in Japanese and also in English.
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: Stuff like, It's never been a better time to be
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: an anime fan.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: And one of my favorite experiences in the community is
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: getting to see an anime on the big screen.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: What's your personal vibe though, when it comes to anime
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: that becomes real actors and they're pulling from anime, is
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: it still looked at is being anime?
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: It's a live action anime adaptation, so yeah, in a way,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: it's it's adjacent, so yeah, yeah, yeah. And if more
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: people can get in, uh and on the stories that
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: that that I love, Yeah, I'm all for it. So
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: I'm excited.
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: Anime is for everyone, is like.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: To say, and we need to let people know the
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Tantaniel crunchy role. Anime Awards is for everyone as well. Now,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: how do you keep it simple enough for those that
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: saw Demon Slayer and think they know anime and they're
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: just getting started.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: Think the beauty of it is is that, you know,
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: fans that may have just watched Demon Slayer, you know,
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: they're just as much anime fans as folks like us
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: who might be watching twenty or twenty five shows every season.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: I think the beauty of celebrating it on the world
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: stage with something like Anime Awards is getting to see
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: the art and music and creativity and passion on display,
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: getting to see the creators behind these things, getting to
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: hear the music performed live.
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: There's not another experience like it. I think. You know,
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: we talked about other award shows before, Right, you might not.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: See every you know, film that's nominated for an OSCAR,
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: but you're there to understand the experience and the culture
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: and to dive deeper into this thing that you love.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: I love that word culture, dude, because you're absolutely right.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: It is a culture, you know, and it's one of
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: those where I think people were saying, oh, it won't
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: last that long. Yeah, it's still here.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but you're someone saying it won't last that long
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: when he keeps coming again.
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah next year.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: So yeah, so what do you guys do from this,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: because I know how much energy goes into an award show.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, you take a week off, maybe two days off,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: and then you got to jump back into something.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: I think the you know, that's one of the best
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: things I think about what we do at Crunchy Role
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: is like there's always something to look forward to when
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: it comes to jumping into the anime community, and so
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: it's less about seeing it as something that like we
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: need a break from and more like things that we
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: look forward to. So, you know, after Anime Awards, we're
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: going to jump into convention season. We've got Anime Expo
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: in La. You know, the comic cons are always coming up.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: There's always something to look forward to and I gotta
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: watch more anime.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: So yeah, well you guys have got to come back
• 8:13
