- 1:07Oh my God. And this week we're doing, I
- 1:09don't think we've ever done a second series of anything
- 1:12before, but we're revisiting the sleeper success that was I was
- 1:17reborn as a vending machine and and now I wonder, The Dungeon
- 1:21Season 2. And of course, because of that,
- 1:27we find ourselves inside our vending machines.
- 1:30Chris, what does your vending machine sell?
- 1:33Sell us anything you want. Oh my God, if I put a little
- 1:37coin in. If oh, actually, because because
- 1:43I I couldn't do this podcast without you or have be able to
- 1:47watch new and fun anime every week, I'll let you put a coin
- 1:52inside of me and you can have a have something.
- 1:56Weirdly, that's not the first time you've asked me to do that.
- 2:00Don't leak the DMS. OK, how do I do this?
- 2:04Yeah, just like if I just drop it down.
- 2:06Just use your psychic powers like like Boxer does.
- 2:10Oh, wrong one, but I've took it in.
- 2:23Oh, there you go. There you go, Fields.
- 2:27Thank you so much. Yeah.

- 2:32I'll just, I'll just pop it in there and yeah, yeah, trick on
- 2:35that. Oh.
- 2:37Would I just make? Cheers, sorry anytime.
- 2:42Are you OK if I'm define try it? Well, I mean it's a bit
- 2:47personal, a question to ask plus ladies slot, but shove a coin
- 2:51in, why not? Oh.
- 2:58And then, then listen. Where was it?
- 3:03And. What have you got from me?
- 3:09Oh. Classic.
- 3:12Don't think I want that feature. I'll just.
- 3:14You know, as I was doing this, I was like, is this flirty or is
- 3:17this just Constipation? But you were two steps ahead of
- 3:22me on that. Oh, good thing I've got me on
- 3:24drink, isn't it? So here we are, trapped in
- 3:35vending machines. Now we're wandering the dungeon.
- 3:38Season 2, in a short summary of season 1 is young man gets hit
- 3:43by a vending machine lorry. He's obsessed with vending
- 3:45machines and in a bizarre twist of fate is Issachyde into a
- 3:51fantasy realm of dungeons and magic where as a living as a as
- 3:56a human soul trapped in a living magical vending machine.
- 4:03And he starts to make friends and they start to wander the
- 4:06dungeon together. Where do we find ourselves in
- 4:11season 2? Chris, give us a a little
- 4:13summary of what happens. Oh, I can totally give you a
- 4:16little summary because not a lot happens.
- 4:19So right, there's these these kind of Izzy guys or animes
- 4:24always run 12 episodes. So yeah, 1st 10 episodes is much
- 4:29more of the first season, but less plot.
- 4:32It is, it is fluff. It is on in the background.
- 4:35If you miss something, it doesn't matter.
- 4:37I miss. I miss a lot.
- 4:40They they have a few moments where they're like little twists
- 4:43for some characters, but by and large, it's so it's really
- 4:48simple. It's like blessedly simple,
- 4:50Yeah. So.
- 4:52There's a lot of things because obviously we did went into the
- 4:57archives and saw the the first series where I did that last
- 5:01week or anime club. So I've, I've put that back out
- 5:05and I've put some short out of it.
- 5:07And there's a the reaction is like, why the hell is this being
- 5:12made? Why have they got three seasons
- 5:14of this? And I can't, I can't kind of
- 5:19understand the anger towards it because people are like, Oh
- 5:22yeah, yeah, you could have made this of my, of my favorite
- 5:26anime. It could have been a season 2 or
- 5:28you could have more budget. But no, they pulled the
- 5:30resources and made this. And I get it from that end, but
- 5:34it's like, I don't see life like that.
- 5:39I also, I think the world is full of very serious anime,
- 5:44right? If you want to go and watch
- 5:45something that's going to like like make your heartbeat faster
- 5:49and feel, make you feel stress and a deep emotion and it's
- 5:55going to make you invest like part of yourself.
- 5:58There are so many anime out there already to have an anime
- 6:02that is like like even that. So I think we both said like
- 6:06compared to so season 1, we went in and we were kind of a little
- 6:09bit, it was a like because our expectations were so low because
- 6:14on paper, this is everything that certainly everything I hate
- 6:18about anime, like all of the tropes that I'm just kind of
- 6:21over. And yet somehow it became weird
- 6:24and compelling and we went, we both watched the whole season in
- 6:28a week. And even season 2 is, I would
- 6:32say there's even less going on. And yet I've still watched a
- 6:35whole season. Like at no point have I gone, do
- 6:40you know what? Let's just do the first 3
- 6:41episodes. I'm ready to tap out now.
- 6:43Like, and I could have done that at any point and I just haven't.
- 6:47And I can't explain that funny to anyone.
- 6:50So I was tempted to say that I've got I've got to episode 7
- 7:00and because obviously we've had two weeks where we can watch
- 7:05what we want and just watch things for fun.
- 7:07So I've been exploring a bit and watching different anime.
- 7:10I've been watching that that magical garden thing one all the
- 7:15gods. I've been watching Revengers and
- 7:19I've had a break from One Piece as well.
- 7:21And I'm like, Oh, it's like a nice little palate cleanser and
- 7:23it's been a chore to go back to this because I'm like nothing's
- 7:27happening or capturing my interest.
- 7:29I don't have the same like this is quite quite nice the.
- 7:35Novelty's worn off. Yeah, I didn't have any
- 7:38expectation going at the first one and it surprised us.
- 7:42I had a little bit of the expectation of the first series
- 7:45going in and it hasn't met up to that.
- 7:48It did on the last episode, I think it was.
- 7:51I was like, oh, actually I wouldn't mind continuing on
- 7:55this. I kind of want to continue on to
- 7:56season 3 just to see these unanswered questions that all
- 7:59just blow past an ignor. That is my main problem with
- 8:05this series is it raises some really interesting characters
- 8:08and questions and at no point does it delve deeper into them
- 8:12like it is so so on the surface. And I think because of that it
- 8:15is very refreshing. Palate like palate cleanser I
- 8:18think is the perfect description for this anime.
- 8:21Like if you're deep into like a really big arc.
- 8:25So oh, oh, because yeah, obviously we had two weeks and
- 8:28we watched gun we, well, we created a Dragon Ball drinking
- 8:32game, me and my boyfriend, and he then like printed them out
- 8:36onto fun cards. So we've been watching a lot of
- 8:38Dragon Ball and drinking way too much apple sours for any human
- 8:41body to consume. I don't know if you've ever had
- 8:44to like shot 4 apple sours shots in a row, but it is undeathered.
- 8:50Oh yeah, definitely. Know so syrupy and so we've
- 8:56watched that and played that and you can see the rules on our
- 8:59Instagram if anyone's curious about how that that plays.
- 9:02So go check out anime anime podcast UK on Instagram and we
- 9:08also watched the Gundam Wing movie endless waltz, which was
- 9:13just and I think God bless my boyfriend was very much I think
- 9:19he that was a labour of love for him because it picks up right at
- 9:22the end of the first of the like series Gundam Wing doesn't know
- 9:27who any of the characters are. I spent most of the film trying
- 9:30to explain it to him and being probably very annoying and nerdy
- 9:34about it. Could you not just watch the
- 9:37season recap on YouTube recently?
- 9:42No, just went into it really cold.
- 9:44And he did it. And he did it purely because he
- 9:47knows how much I love Gundams. So if that's not love, I don't
- 9:52know what it's. Got your little Gundam there?
- 9:55Yeah, I am now obsessed. I really want to buy a Gundam
- 9:59kit and build my own little Gundam.
- 10:02Is that what I did from? Yeah, They're supposed to be
- 10:05really beautiful to build and I've never built one from
- 10:09scratch before. It's like, it's like Lego once
- 10:12you start, you know when you you lose a couple hours and you're
- 10:14like, Oh yeah, I feel like Zen and relaxed now.
- 10:20Nice. I'm probably the stickers on and
- 10:23I don't watch Gundam so I don't know what one that is, but he's
- 10:26got a gun and a shield. OK, OK, could be gund away one
- 10:31the usually the sticker will tell you but yeah, probably put
- 10:34it on. It was one of them once.
- 10:36You know, like the temporary tattoos where you put them in
- 10:38water first and then they just slide them on and they'll say, I
- 10:41don't have time for that. I'm here to build, not to moist.
- 10:46That's how you do like nail art. You don't have any, You don't
- 10:52have fingers. At this point they're just nubs.
- 10:55Yeah, just got nubs. So I also did the whole thing of
- 10:59like taking a break and then coming back to this about half.
- 11:02I think I got up to Episode 9 and I was like, OK, I'm going to
- 11:04tap out for a little bit and then had three episodes left to
- 11:09come back to. Yeah, so I get that.
- 11:13I think this, I think the the fact that there's almost so
- 11:18little at stake because you never go too deep into anything
- 11:23it can. It started to lose its shiny a
- 11:27little bit, but I still enjoyed it.
- 11:29And I still thought as like in terms of season finales, the
- 11:32last episode was definitely the strongest for sure.
- 11:36I thought it was it was the, the, the got to season 2 when
- 11:41they're like, right, OK, we kind of want to go for a season 3,
- 11:45but we've got nothing to continue on.
- 11:47Let's Chuck a load of plot in this episode.
- 11:49So I'll leave, leave people wanting more or something.
- 11:53Yeah, yeah, we just need to do something.
- 11:57Although I'm kind of curious about the new the Lord, but you
- 12:00know, we'll find out I guess. You said there was 1 character
- 12:04that reminded you of me, which was the one of the generals, the
- 12:09singing general who's a ghost who sings all her words.
- 12:16There was, there was that and there was be offensive, you know
- 12:23that. Be offensive because I I'm
- 12:26already slightly offended that that was the character like
- 12:28because I was like, it can't be this character and I was
- 12:31watching the anime being like, surely not this character.
- 12:33And then when you finally revealed who it was, I was like.
- 12:37What it was the areas the the one was the you know, the the do
- 12:44the catch people what the calls the the.
- 12:47The little doggy cat. Yeah, the menagerie of greed,
- 12:54gluttony or something. Yeah, you know the one that as
- 12:58the as the competition for free food.
- 13:02So that was just like you could display your talents.
- 13:05Some of them are doing archery, one of them sort and coins and
- 13:08the other one's just called Speed eaten.
- 13:10Thanks for the free food, bitches.
- 13:14That is something that I would do to be, yeah, just like, oh,
- 13:18you've got a competition, let me game this for my own benefit.
- 13:25Yeah. I can see that.
- 13:30Yeah, there is. There is.
- 13:31Like in addition to some weird characters in season 2?
- 13:36There are some weird characters there, but can we get back to
- 13:39why is it that the ghost woman made you think of me?
- 13:42It was it was the hair port where I think the the
- 13:46electrocute or something. And I frazzled her hair and she
- 13:49was just like, you can, you can beat me, but you'll never mess
- 13:52up. My hair then flies away on a big
- 13:54crow. I am notorious for doing that.
- 13:59Yeah. So if I see a crow, I'm gone.
- 14:05That's how you get off, isn't it?
- 14:08Yeah, yeah. That's how I'm going to get up
- 14:09to Sunnycon next month. It's next month, Chris.
- 14:13Oh. Yeah, I should probably.
- 14:15Start. We need to.
- 14:16Finish our cosplays. I don't know, I just need to get
- 14:20a shirt and pants. Oh, OK, fine.
- 14:23Done. Maybe some suspenders, Not the
- 14:26leggy cane, the the to have a belt.
- 14:29I was expecting both. Maybe.
- 14:32But what you wear under your trousers is entirely up to you.
- 14:35I'm not interested the Yeah, so there are other weird
- 14:43characters, though Heavy is a great example.
- 14:46I think I take I think I messaged you and was like, I
- 14:48character has just appeared. That reminds me of me.
- 14:53Sniffer. It's a poop sniffer.
- 14:59Like he's got like a weird weirdly hyperfixated on people's
- 15:05shoes almost poetically. But it's definitely a kink,
- 15:07weird kink thing. And it's at times uncomfortable.
- 15:16Like it's shit. Sometimes you can kind of ignore
- 15:19it, other times you're like this is borderline it.
- 15:24Kind of reminds me of Brooke for One Piece.
- 15:26So when you ask to see everyone's panties and it's just
- 15:29like what? Why is it doing this?
- 15:33I also like, yeah, I mean, they the thing I thought was funny as
- 15:37well with it, because they like they give him this like defining
- 15:40personality trait, which is that he's obsessed with people's
- 15:43shoes. And it has to be people's shoes,
- 15:45like people's who've worn in the shoes as well.
- 15:48So it can't just be like any new shoe.
- 15:51It has to be something that they've worn for ages.
- 15:53And the more worn it is, the more hit, the stronger his
- 15:56attraction is to it. It's like it's a whole.
- 15:58They make it quite in depth. In fact, I would argue that they
- 16:02go more in depth into his weird fascination with shoes than they
- 16:05do any other bit of. Law.
- 16:07Yeah, yeah. In season 2 and then they give
- 16:11him a tragic back story related to to the boots.
- 16:17So it's like, you know, there's a magical field at one point
- 16:21that is like supposed to be similar to Boxo.
- 16:25And they'd they tell you hardly anything about that major thing.
- 16:29They tell you like hardly anything about snow fairies.
- 16:32We now know snow fairies are a thing.
- 16:34They don't go into any detail about that.
- 16:37We've got like all the different, all the different
- 16:40generals who are popping up. They don't tell you about their
- 16:43back story or why they're serving the Nether Lord.
- 16:47Yeah, and and it's weird how Zorro, the the Captain Bear or
- 16:53whatever, and he's talking. Yeah.
- 16:54So obviously with the snow elf show, Doctor Bear could call
- 16:57you. Yeah, Director Bear.
- 16:59And he's just like he said, I think she's a snow elf.
- 17:02And they're very like, they don't like humans because humans
- 17:06have like cut them like to extension because if you behead
- 17:10one on it's 18th birthday, when it becomes an adult, it it
- 17:15brings a plague or something on the stratus that you're in, but
- 17:18its body can cure any illness or ailment that you have.
- 17:22And then it's just like, but we'll keep that secret between
- 17:25me and you. By the way, everyone knows that
- 17:27she's a snow elf. Everyone the common contact say,
- 17:29oh, is that a snow elf? Yeah, definitely take.
- 17:32Almost certainly that's a snow elf and have you heard about
- 17:34what snow elves do? The worst kept secret ever.
- 17:37But like they give her like half an episode of like explanation
- 17:42around that and it's like one of the pivotal moments in the plot.
- 17:46They give shoe sniffer 2 full episodes and multiple side bits
- 17:52in other episodes like they give they devote so much to to heavy
- 17:57to animals shoe sniffing. The menagerie of fools.
- 18:02It's insane. The menagerie of fools.
- 18:04That's great when they betray and they betray everyone because
- 18:09you find out they're sons in a critical condition in like a
- 18:11crystal coffin. Half an episode, half.
- 18:16It's half an episode for that, for that, for like 1 of the
- 18:19biggest betrayals in up until now.
- 18:22Yeah. And I was really getting to love
- 18:24those characters as well. Like I was like kind of invested
- 18:27in it. And then they just disappear for
- 18:29the rest of like that happens in episode like four or five.
- 18:33And then they just disappear from this, the rest of the
- 18:35series. And we're left with shoe sniffer
- 18:40from the menagerie of falls. He's one of the ones who doesn't
- 18:44betray us. Shoe sniffer and girl that's
- 18:48always hungry and. Shoe.
- 18:52Yeah, Snow Elf that is like physically a 7 year old, but
- 18:57actually 17. Yeah, bit.
- 19:01Weird. Yeah, llamas, the strong one and
- 19:05hula me. I don't know, it's weird because
- 19:08some aims to split up and I forget.
- 19:12Like do you know what yet? Like there's a big part.
- 19:14Do you know again? Are you like an?
- 19:15Are you like a dog? You don't have object
- 19:17permanence. Like once it's gone from your
- 19:19vision, you forget it exists. Not, not these, because it's
- 19:22like even on the second last episode, episode 11, it gets in
- 19:27there and heavies like back story and all this sort of
- 19:31stuff. You have a beauty pageant thing.
- 19:34Oh. Yeah, that's that episode.
- 19:36Like 9 or 10? Yeah.
- 19:38And then one of the first prizes that Lamas wins is a pair of
- 19:42shoes. And he's like, oh, shoes.
- 19:45And then he looks at it and he's like, oh, and his face drops.
- 19:48And then you're like, Oh no. Shoes.
- 19:51Yeah, and then you're like, oh, what's happening?
- 19:52And then the episode finishes, the next episode, the inner hot
- 19:58stratus in a hot country. You've no idea why.
- 20:01And there's only like 3 of them. And you're like, all right, this
- 20:04just happens now. And then it does a weird
- 20:06flashback to them why they're there.
- 20:08You're doing this out of order. It's like, what is going on?
- 20:13It does say, do you know what the first series it felt like I
- 20:16was watching someone who'd taken too many mushrooms, Right?
- 20:20An anime based on like trope cards that they just put on a
- 20:24table. And I feel like like, and, and
- 20:27in the first series, they'd hit the sweet spot.
- 20:30They were right at the like the peak of the high and they hadn't
- 20:33gone too far in this. They've gone too far and things
- 20:35have like they've lost the coherency.
- 20:39I, I think they're very aware of it though, because there's some
- 20:42moments where you're like boxers talking to lamas and these, oh,
- 20:46this lamas going to kiss me here.
- 20:48And then it does something at the last minute where, oh,
- 20:50there's need to be behind you that I had to hit it.
- 20:53And they're kind of like, you think, or are they going to
- 20:55leave this harem thing or a weird love story between a girl
- 20:58and then in a vending machine. Yeah.
- 21:02And then it's like, Nah, they'll not.
- 21:05It's always kind of stays weirdly innocent and I kind of
- 21:08love it for that though. Besides shoe sniffer.
- 21:13Besides. Shoe sniffer that.
- 21:15But even then he never really had.
- 21:18He says repeatedly. He's not interested in the
- 21:20people who are wearing the shoes, he just wants their
- 21:23shoes. I mean even getting turned on by
- 21:26an R object like a shoe, especially a used shoe, is still
- 21:30weird. Here's my question.
- 21:32What is weirder, getting turned on by a vending machine or
- 21:35getting turned on by a pair of shoes?
- 21:37Pair of shoes. I don't like feet.
- 21:41At least a vending machine can better.
- 21:43I don't know you can get something from it besides the
- 21:46stinky yeah appendage. And if you were going to be a
- 21:51vending machine, I think we asked this originally in series
- 21:54one, but we've had time to sit with vending machine culture
- 21:57now. Yeah.
- 21:58So it could be anything. Could you be?
- 22:04You could be any vending machine ever to have been created ever.
- 22:08What vending machine would you be?
- 22:10I did have an answer for this as well.
- 22:12Where is it? Because I said it.
- 22:15It was a really good one. Oh yeah, so at the minute, my
- 22:22weirdest obsession at the minute is customizing like zip all
- 22:24layers and stuff. And I thought I'll be an
- 22:29engraving vending machine. Oh, it's not a vending machine
- 22:32yet. You see insert the picture now
- 22:35there or whatever the one I found on the Internet, because
- 22:41they are very self aware as well, because at points in this
- 22:45like he turns into a giant ice vending machine and he was just
- 22:49saying like he kind of turns to the camera and goes, oh, I'm not
- 22:53a vending machine again. Well, that's nothing new kind of
- 22:58thing. And then you'd be like, you may
- 23:00recognise this giant vending machine from a famous harbour in
- 23:04Japan. And as you say, who you talking
- 23:07to? You talking to me they're.
- 23:10Talking to the vending machine purists out there because my
- 23:14response and we had a small back and forth about whether or not
- 23:19this counts and I think it does, which is I would be a dog wig
- 23:24vending machine. And there's one in Japan that's
- 23:26like gatcha ponds, dog wigs. And my argument is that yes, you
- 23:30could say that's not a vending machine, it's gatcha.
- 23:33My argument is what is gatcha if not just a lucky dip vending
- 23:37machine? You put money in machine vends
- 23:41product, but this time it's a dog wig.
- 23:46A wig for dogs. Because I think the world would
- 23:49be a better place if dogs want more wigs.
- 23:55Again, I'll repeat this like I did in the discord.
- 23:57I think he just forcing unhealthy beauty beauty stem
- 24:02standards onto animals. But I think how gorgeous Eddie
- 24:08would look like with like a little 70s like Ferrah Fawcett.
- 24:12But I was thinking give up by the berries and cream guy his
- 24:21wig. Like a pageboy.
- 24:24Yeah, yeah, yeah. That would be my vending
- 24:29machine. Insert picture here.
- 24:35Put a different yeah. So yeah, that would be it.
- 24:42Here's my other question if you were going, because the other
- 24:45thing is that in this, you have like, different powers.
- 24:47They have like blessings. So Lamas has a blessing of
- 24:51might. And like some of the people that
- 24:54they fight, like, they fight a ogre who has like the blessing
- 24:57of like, hardened, which makes their skin really tough.
- 25:01And the blessing of strength, if you were going to so say you'd
- 25:04get transported to another world and you unfortunately do not get
- 25:08turned into a vending machine that engraves things, but you do
- 25:13get given a magical blessing. What, what?
- 25:18What blessing would you want? I'm going to say as a 36 year
- 25:26old person, energy. The most relatable thing you've
- 25:35ever said on this podcast. I'm so tired today sober.
- 25:41It's horrible. I'm constantly tired.
- 25:46Yeah, fast. For for you.
- 25:56I would want the blessing of I think.
- 26:02I think along a similar line, like the blessing of like, like
- 26:06to make like my lump or the back tougher.
- 26:12I've been really feeling life in my lower back lately.
- 26:17And either that or the blessing of like to have like, yeah, and
- 26:27like. Health.
- 26:30Yeah, health is good. Or like teleportation, I always
- 26:33think is a man in terms of magical powers.
- 26:36Teleportation feels like the Moat, the one I would use the
- 26:39most. I hate travelling places but I
- 26:41love being at the places and I just hate that you have to
- 26:45bookend being somewhere fun with getting there and get home
- 26:49again. Do you feel my favorite X-Men is
- 26:53nice Crawler, Yeah. So he's a good X-Men.
- 26:59I like that it's blue so. I think, yeah, maybe tell the
- 27:02blessing of like, like eat like see fast travel or something,
- 27:06whatever that would look like you did.
- 27:09As the reminders as well, because they do talk about
- 27:12blessings and this very briefly and they don't go in and like
- 27:17what is say oh the God's favour, whatever she's got this blessing
- 27:20and then all of a sudden. Don't explain what gods?
- 27:25No gods. And then then they're like, Oh
- 27:29yeah, and the guy who runs a menagerie of fools, his one of
- 27:32his three sons plot twist and has a one blessing.
- 27:39Oh, what's that? Yeah.
- 27:40He's, I can't remember now, doesn't he like waste a skin
- 27:44decays or something? So he's, he's double, he's
- 27:47double blessed or double fucked depending on your situation.
- 27:50So he's, he's blessed with the power of healing, but he's also
- 27:54blessed unblessed with or cursed with the sense of decay.
- 27:59So his body is constantly like unmaking and remaking itself.
- 28:03So he lives in like a constant state of agony and they're like
- 28:06a very slow death, basically. Isn't that Deadpool?
- 28:13Sort of. Yeah, because he's got like, get
- 28:17he's riddled with cancer, isn't he?
- 28:19And then but he's got like super, super regeneration power.
- 28:25I think he gets cured with the of the cancer though, doesn't
- 28:28he? When he gets the regeneration
- 28:29power? But he's just like, he gets like
- 28:31horribly disfigured, doesn't he? Or does the cancer stay there?
- 28:35I don't think the cancer stays there though.
- 28:38I thought the comics stayed there and it was kind of like a
- 28:41constant battle. I can't remember that.
- 28:43I'm not. I'm not too big into.
- 28:45If you've read Deadpool and you know about it, put it in the
- 28:47thing below. And even if you do only one
- 28:49sentence, that'll be more law than we get in the whole of this
- 28:52second series of vending machines.
- 28:54Yeah. Just say Chris is wrong.
- 28:56Chris is right. And that'll be more information
- 29:00than we get. Yeah.
- 29:02Yeah, it's fair. Yeah.
- 29:06So did you have like, any favorite, like, new characters
- 29:09that were introduced in this series?
- 29:11Jar of dirt. Jar of dirt field.
- 29:16Field. Yeah, that's his.
- 29:19Name. Yeah, I just think it's weird
- 29:23because it's like obviously even even boxers just say right,
- 29:28there's a human souls being is a can it and I'm a vending
- 29:31machine. But it's a bit weird that he's a
- 29:34field, isn't it? It's like he's talking to the
- 29:36audience. This is weird, isn't it?
- 29:38Yeah, yeah. Like this is too far.
- 29:41Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
- 29:44And I've got to say Field because they're the person that
- 29:47has is the most interesting, has the most intrigue about them,
- 29:54and that's what makes us want to delve in the Series 3 just to
- 29:59find out the answer. They'll never watch it again.
- 30:01I yeah, I this is not, I don't think, I don't think this is an
- 30:05anime I'll be revisiting, but I probably will be watching Season
- 30:083. I really liked Mitchell, who's
- 30:12the the guy who can't talk to anyone and how weirdly slurty he
- 30:17got with Boxo in this series because it becomes a bit Haram
- 30:20anime, but in a very innocent way.
- 30:23But occasionally it kind of is a bit of a nod.
- 30:25Again, that kind of nod to the audience.
- 30:27And I think Mitchell's like flustering was a bit of like a
- 30:32oh, look like, you know, that you've been writing fanfic, you
- 30:35weirdos. It's that kind of like moment of
- 30:39like self self aware anime culture, which made me laugh.
- 30:42I also like director dark, who's like the shadow man, yes, and
- 30:46you know, do you know his full he's that like does terrible
- 30:49jokes and stuff. He he was funny to me because I
- 30:52felt like, oh, here's a middle-aged person trying to
- 30:55make people laugh and failing miserably.
- 30:58I've been there. Do you know his full name
- 31:01though? No.
- 31:04Duck, duck. Duck, duck.
- 31:08That's his full name, Direct Duck Duck.
- 31:10His full name, Duck Duck. So yeah, I was into him as well.
- 31:16I thought he was a great addition.
- 31:18Joyce, I'm going to change it. Character I'm.
- 31:22Going to change it to duck duck. Dark Dog's your favorite
- 31:25character? Yeah, I, I forgot about him
- 31:27because he was like a bright gold suit and he is a man who is
- 31:31he looks like a shadow. He looks like.
- 31:34Do you know when you have an unlocked character in a game and
- 31:36you haven't unlocked it yet? That's why he looks like.
- 31:38Yeah, yeah. He looks like if someone was
- 31:40wearing like a black morph suit. Yeah, yeah.
- 31:44Yeah, Yeah. Highly amusing.
- 31:47Yeah, Director. Dark, dark dark and he can like
- 31:50flatten himself into like a shadow form as well and like
- 31:53slip into places and things. I thought he was hilarious.
- 31:56I also really liked is it Director Origin, the kind of
- 32:01sexy soldier lady. Oh yeah, yeah.
- 32:05She was quite fun as well. So the blonde one of the dark
- 32:09hair born. That's the blonde one.
- 32:12Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Who Dark Dark persuades to join
- 32:16the pageant? Yeah, my special skill was
- 32:20trying to beat him up as well, Yeah.
- 32:25It was good. I enjoyed it.
- 32:27Yeah. So there we go.
- 32:29And that was Season 2 of Reborn as a vending Machine.
- 32:32And now I wonder. The dungeon.
- 32:34Chris, are you going to be watching Season 3?
- 32:37Johnny's I might just Google Google.
- 32:39The questions I've got might be easier, but depending on if the
- 32:43answer to my Google is interesting I might.
- 32:47Fair. That's fair.
- 32:49I probably am going to watch it, but only when I need a break
- 32:52from other anime, I think. I think this is the this is the
- 32:55anime I'm going to go to to dip it when I'm just like, I see
- 32:57something silly. Gintama.
- 33:01It'd be fine. Yeah.
- 33:03That too is joining the roster of like, Gintama and like,
- 33:07what's the one where it's like Way of the House Husband?
- 33:10That's another favorite anime of mine, which we can't really do
- 33:14on here because the episodes are so short.
- 33:17Yeah. I mean, yeah, what kind of,
- 33:20really? So next week, you asked.
- 33:24You've got some sort of. Weird challenge, yes, right.
- 33:29So as you know me and you have been competing a little bit last
- 33:36couple of couple of weeks. Yeah, to to know who's going to
- 33:40be alpha anime president of the anime club.
- 33:44Yes, kinda. I didn't know that was on the
- 33:46line, but I'm winning so I'll go.
- 33:48Oh, that, that's fully on the line.
- 33:51Oh OK then. So we've both got fancy new
- 33:54watches now that. Oh God, are you going to make a
- 33:57step for it? Shit, so.
- 34:01So basically we've been nervous. I'm not like trying to get fit,
- 34:06but like, I don't know, kind of like.
- 34:08I think, no, I think I think it's fair to say that we're
- 34:11trying to be healthier and to get fit.
- 34:14Like I've consciously try to do that.
- 34:16Yeah, yeah. So I propose we have a step off.
- 34:23OK. So what day is it today?
- 34:26It is Wednesday, Yeah, and I'm going to say by Monday, whoever
- 34:35has the most steps or do you want to do a single day?
- 34:40I mean, tomorrow I'm volunteering somewhere, so it'd
- 34:44be a terrible day. I would say no.
- 34:46Let's say let's go Monday. Fuck, let's go for it.
- 34:49Let's go Monday by Monday. By Monday, who are very simple
- 34:52steps will pick the anime and what is your choice for next
- 34:57week if you win. My choice for next week will be
- 35:00Witch hat Atelier right if I win.
- 35:05Right. What's that about?
- 35:08I don't know, but I've seen it on a YouTube show of of her
- 35:11casting magic. So I think it's about a young
- 35:14girl who does so in a world where magic is an innate gift.
- 35:20She discovers a way to create magic that is like technical
- 35:25using ink and things. So she kind of discovers alchemy
- 35:28in a world of like sorcery, which I think sounds quite cool.
- 35:34And I like, I've looked it up on the parent guide because
- 35:38sometimes you have to be really careful about picking anime,
- 35:40especially like, you know, certain types of anime.
- 35:44And so I like, oh, well, you always have to check the parent
- 35:47guide. But apparently the only thing
- 35:49that is like really is that someone gets turned into
- 35:51crystals or something in the first episode and it's a bit
- 35:54scary. So I feel like it will be a good
- 35:56animator. There's no weirdness in it other
- 35:58than that. Fair enough, I didn't check my
- 36:00parents before mine. Fair.
- 36:03What are you? So it was actually from a
- 36:09someone who commented on the Instagram show that we put out
- 36:12of the OR the one before and he said, I've got a conversation
- 36:16and they were like, I can't believe they made a season 2 and
- 36:183 of this. I said, oh, and instead of like
- 36:22renewing one of my favorite animes, which is really good, I
- 36:25said, oh, what what you what would you like to see season 2
- 36:29of? They said a list of a couple of
- 36:30things. One caught me.
- 36:32I it is called blood lad. So the story which Andrea a
- 36:40vampire punk falls in love with a kind human girl and when she
- 36:46is killed and turned into a ghost and he he sets on a quest
- 36:51out request a resurrector It is. I don't know how many episodes
- 36:57it is. Actually does sound quite good
- 36:59and I'm kind of into. It yeah, it's from 2000 and
- 37:02yeah, OK, 13 OK, so. Blood, lad.
- 37:07Blood or. Witchy thing.
- 37:10But either we'll be doing vampires or witches.
- 37:12I kind of love that. Umpires will always win team
- 37:16Edward who? Yes.
- 37:21I mean, what's the other one, Jacob?
- 37:27Is that the werewolf one that falls in over the baby?
- 37:29Is that whose side you're on? Yeah, that's that's not the side
- 37:32I want to be on. Well, that's what you chose.
- 37:37No, I choose the witches every time.
- 37:42We roll Dahl's witches. Let's turn a load of kids into
- 37:45mice instead. Oh, I love that film as a kid.
- 37:48Yeah, it's great film. I thought it was Stuart Little
- 37:51when I was first watching because I saw the white mouse.
- 37:53I was like, oh, what's this? Nope.
- 37:56Very different film from Stuart Little, but yeah, cool.
- 38:03Sounds like a plan. It does so till next week.
- 38:09Vampires or witches? Vampires or witches get step in.
- 38:15Bye bye, love you.
