• 0:22
  Well, hello all your cats and kittens out there.
• 0:25
  How are you doing? Welcome to another episode of
• 0:29
  Anime Club. First episode back recording of
• 0:38
  the year 2026. First of all, how are you doing,
• 0:41
  Phoebe? I'm doing great and I would just
• 0:44
  like to take a moment as we enter 2026 together to say thank
• 0:49
  you to all our wonderful guests that we had throughout December
• 0:52
  and into even into early January.
• 0:55
  Because that was not only were they lovely and let us pre
• 0:59
  record. So we got some time off, but
• 1:01
  they were some of the best episodes we've done.
• 1:02
  I think guests are good. Yeah, it was nice having our
• 1:05
  friends on. Josh Lace as well.
• 1:07
  Not that it's not nice, but it's nice.
• 1:10
  I've like I've been, I've been told them in messages and stuff.
• 1:13
  So you'd be like be talking about anime, like not on camera
• 1:17
  and stuff and it's oh, that's nice.
• 1:19
  Yeah, it's really nice. And it's nice to be back here
• 1:24
  with you, of course, as well. Oh yeah.
• 1:27
  Yeah, Yeah, that's all right. That's all right.
• 1:33
  What are we doing this week, Chris?
• 1:35
  Well. No, but I'll do this in a while.
• 1:39
  But have we got snacks this week?
• 1:42
  Do you have snacks? Did you remember?
• 1:44
  I don't I. Remember when I said that if you
• 1:47
  didn't bring snacks that you hate is and you never want to
• 1:49
  see this again? But have you, have you brought
• 1:51
  any snacks this week? It doesn't vape out.
• 1:58
  Why not for the sake of my pride?
• 2:00
  Shit. Yeah.
• 2:04
  Babe snack. Game snack, No.
• 2:09
  So it's a new year, new me. I've shed my skin, I'm becoming
• 2:11
  a new entity. I've started working out.
• 2:14
  I'm not snacking during the week anymore so.
• 2:19
  You can just eat healthy snacks, you can eat well grasslessly.
• 2:22
  But if a healthy people eat. I don't know, I'm going to have
• 2:27
  to discover, but I haven't got to the place where I've got like
• 2:30
  carrots in my fridge either. So, so I don't have snacks
• 2:36
  because I'm trying to be like healthier and like a better
• 2:40
  human or something so. At the first of all, that's
• 2:45
  great for you. I'm glad that you're trying to
• 2:47
  eat healthier and exercising, but I apologize because I'm not
• 2:50
  going to join in and I I've seen Lindo boys want.
• 2:54
  Me to die. Oh my God, that's so good.
• 2:56
  Oh yeah, love that. I'm supporting you by eating all
• 3:02
  of the sweets. Try and eat them all.
• 3:04
  In front of me and making noises that like delicious eat it going
• 3:09
  please oh I'll. Be very vocal with what?
• 3:12
  It's going to be great in the Spotify.
• 3:15
  Like what? Going to be horrible in Spotify.
• 3:18
  To be fair, my lack of snacking will probably improve the
• 3:21
  quality of the sound so much better because sometimes I
• 3:24
  listen back and my microphone really loves to like pick up on
• 3:27
  them noises. The gorge effect, it's when
• 3:33
  you're unheard, it's before the camera sometimes where you
• 3:36
  haven't had you even a meal and you're like, you dislocate your
• 3:40
  jaw and you just eat a full, I don't know, a Subway sandwich or
• 3:43
  something in one bite. That's when the noises are
• 3:46
  really. That's when they're at their
• 3:48
  worst. I put the gorge in gorgeous.
• 3:52
  What can I say? And go back.
• 3:56
  Well, that on. Well, that on my tombs don't so
• 4:01
  but we're also we're trying something new, aren't we?
• 4:03
  This year so far we've done too. We've we're doing little fun,
• 4:07
  little challenges to see who gets to pick each week's anime.
• 4:12
  So would you like to describe or are you going to like do some
• 4:14
  editing magic and shove the video in?
• 4:17
  I'll not because it showed the state of my front room after
• 4:21
  Christmas Day and it was an absolute bombshell, my son.
• 4:24
  It had all of the toys everywhere.
• 4:26
  There's rappers everywhere. I'm sure there was Molly was
• 4:29
  unconscious at one point in the floor.
• 4:31
  But we've decided to have a competition to see who hosts
• 4:36
  slash who picks the next anime. I mean, we can't take turns in
• 4:40
  hosting because it gets tired and doing it all the time.
• 4:43
  I'm going to be doing it now and I know that you're doing a very
• 4:46
  good job of keeping me on track. But we thought.
• 4:51
  That's what we do for each other.
• 4:52
  That's right. The best kind of competitions
• 4:57
  are RNG ones where it doesn't necessarily come down to skill,
• 5:02
  because we don't necessarily have any skill.
• 5:05
  And then we just play pray to R and Jesus.
• 5:08
  So basically we're first. The first one we did was a
• 5:12
  marble run. My son got a marble run for
• 5:14
  Christmas and it was fun. Me and Molly, instead of
• 5:17
  unhealthily arguing about decisions like who's going to
• 5:21
  get up and make the next drink, who's going to do this or that,
• 5:24
  who's going to let the dog out, we just said pick a colour,
• 5:27
  we'll put them in the marble run and then whoever wins has to do
• 5:30
  it so. And Molly did adjudicate because
• 5:33
  at one point you did one and then waited and then put the
• 5:37
  other one in. It's I think the camera must
• 5:40
  have liked or something because I wouldn't cheat.
• 5:41
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. But she was.
• 5:43
  So she kept you honest. But I could.
• 5:45
  But it felt like a woman who'd been keeping you honest on the
• 5:48
  marble run for a few turns. No, no comment.
• 5:55
  So you won the marble run? Is the I did, and so we started
• 6:04
  Anime Club because we wanted to try new anime that wouldn't
• 6:07
  necessarily try. And I feel that in 2025, the
• 6:11
  year that we've started this, we have done more old favourites
• 6:15
  and tried very little new stuff. There's been guests.
• 6:19
  Started off, we started off doing the new stuff and when
• 6:23
  guests have chosen, we've done stuff we wouldn't have otherwise
• 6:26
  done. But we very quickly got into do
• 6:28
  you remember that anime? Oh, I love that anime.
• 6:30
  Let's watch that. Yeah, yeah, pretty much.
• 6:35
  Pretty much. So I want to get out with
• 6:37
  Comfort Zone and I decided Phoebe absolutely hates horror
• 6:43
  films. I thought, why not?
• 6:45
  Why not immerse you a little bit of immersion therapy with Nite
• 6:49
  Nite with this Anomicias bull. It's the Nite of the living cat.
• 6:56
  No, she's in like, yeah. Yeah, isn't Nyan cat or
• 7:01
  something? Or is that Neko?
• 7:02
  There's Nyan Cat, who's the little cat that flies to the sky
• 7:05
  farting rainbow. Yes, that's him.
• 7:07
  Yeah, or her. But Nyan is like the cat a cat
• 7:11
  noise that you would see in manga if someone I see
• 7:15
  especially if it's like. I grew up having cats and if I
• 7:19
  ever heard one of my childhood cats called Nyan, I would take
• 7:23
  them with a vet. See, I think the problem is
• 7:26
  you're not saying it right. You have to really put like.
• 7:30
  Yeah, yeah, say. Do you, before we get into the
• 7:39
  anime, can I, can I share with you a cat thing that I so there
• 7:43
  are two cat things that I used to charm cats because I feel
• 7:46
  like when you're rejected by a cat, it's devastating.
• 7:49
  So I did everything in my power to charm cats when I come across
• 7:53
  them. All right.
• 7:54
  Yeah, Yeah. So that I don't have to feel the
• 7:55
  devastation of rejection. So needy.
• 7:58
  That's why I like dogs because you don't have to do that with
• 8:01
  dogs. They just love you instantly.
• 8:05
  And there are two things you can do.
• 8:08
  You have the slow blink. So I'm just sharing this for
• 8:10
  anyone else who wants to like charm.
• 8:13
  You've got the the three slow blinks where you, like squint
• 8:16
  your eyes and you're like, and you do that for a bit and then
• 8:20
  OK. My sister cat's in the street.
• 8:22
  This is to any cat anywhere, and it's like a sign of trick.
• 8:26
  Cats will do that to each other when they like, trust each other
• 8:29
  to be like, don't worry, I'm kind of dozy and sleepy so you
• 8:32
  don't need to like. So.
• 8:35
  So can you paint? Paint.
• 8:36
  There's a picture, right? So you're wandering in the mean
• 8:39
  streets of where you live right now, in an alleyway.
• 8:42
  You have a rustling behind you. You see a cat.
• 8:45
  You come face to face. What do you do?
• 8:49
  Well, first of all, I pick a name.
• 8:51
  Well, that's not true. Sometimes I let the name speak
• 8:54
  to me. This one is Gerald.
• 8:59
  You know, let's e-mail there for a cat.
• 9:04
  It's short for Geraldine, Don't be sexy.
• 9:07
  Oh yeah, yeah, sorry, my mistake.
• 9:10
  Do better, Chris. This is 2026.
• 9:15
  We've just covered that. Right.
• 9:22
  So OK, so I'm in an ally. I'm in an ally.
• 9:25
  It's 2026 and I meet a strong independent female cat called
• 9:29
  Gerald. Right and.
• 9:33
  And, and I'll be like, oh, so first of all, I'll be like, oh,
• 9:36
  that's a cat. And then I'll be like, oh,
• 9:38
  quick, slow blink. And then the second thing I try,
• 9:41
  which is to get the cat to cut. So the first thing is the slope,
• 9:44
  the three slow blinks. That's to get the cat to be
• 9:47
  like, I'm not a threat. The second thing is, how did you
• 9:50
  get the cat from I'm not a threat to come have a little
• 9:53
  cuddle. And there is a noise and I don't
• 9:56
  know if the noise suppression is going to cut me out doing the
• 10:00
  noise, but it is. And I've tried this with my
• 10:02
  mum's cat and I swear down it works.
• 10:05
  You do. Yes, yeah, I've heard that I've.
• 10:09
  Used to look at me. I'm not actually looking at you,
• 10:12
  I'm looking at the chocolates for sure, just next to the
• 10:14
  camera. I was wondering why you were
• 10:19
  looking at me with such love for the first time ever.
• 10:24
  Oh sexy, I'm out. So yeah, and then you do the
• 10:35
  matter. And then cat friend, me and
• 10:37
  Gerald, best friends. We swap stories, we laugh, we
• 10:40
  cry, we move on with our lives. Just really bad I've I've never
• 10:47
  had this problem. Because cats just love you.
• 10:52
  Most animals do, it's weird like ask Molly and she'll be like
• 10:57
  because it be like a dog or a castle in the bar.
• 10:59
  They normally hate people and they'll be rubbing me face and
• 11:03
  all that same stuff. Can I just say this only
• 11:06
  furthers my theory that you're actually a Pixie man?
• 11:10
  Maybe. So I have this thing where I've
• 11:13
  often, I've referred to Chris, I'm sure on this podcast, I've
• 11:16
  referred to you as a Pixie man. But it's because I genuinely
• 11:19
  think you are a creature of folklore and fable like you are
• 11:23
  like, man, it's really interesting, Pixie man.
• 11:27
  And you also have the mischief of a Pixie baked into you.
• 11:29
  And I still like Pixies. Of course.
• 11:32
  They would chant, be enchant all of the animals of the forest.
• 11:36
  Yeah, slash the Sunderland. Oh, I'm not in Sunderland.
• 11:42
  OR. Sorry, Northumberland.
• 11:44
  Yeah, yeah. So I've never had that.
• 11:50
  They just come up to us and then we're just open mouth kissing.
• 11:52
  It's weird. Just happens happens all.
• 11:57
  The time it's weird when it's with seagulls.
• 12:03
  Oh, a seagull did want to steal my my baguette so oh.
• 12:12
  No, my baguette. It's my French face, though they
• 12:18
  say I was Greg's used to do a sandwich, which was the IT was
• 12:24
  like, do you know the big baguette things is them, but I
• 12:26
  used to have prawn me off place. Oh, you raised your ass because
• 12:31
  you're because it's Zoom. You're that way in the corner.
• 12:39
  Let's not do that. Anyway, I better watch him on
• 12:42
  high board. You had gestures, would you,
• 12:44
  mate? Oh, no.
• 12:50
  Oh, it doesn't do it. Why is it not doing it?
• 12:52
  Oh no. It's fight.
• 12:55
  It's fight you. You all right?
• 12:57
  So panic. Oh, I'm.
• 12:59
  Still live. We're not live, it's fight.
• 13:04
  No, we're not live. Oh, I see what's happened.
• 13:07
  Yeah. Anyway, so you're like, you were
• 13:13
  out and about and you'd be like, Oh my tasty baguettes from Good
• 13:17
  Eggs. What?
• 13:18
  Yeah. You're.
• 13:20
  Basically. So I had this this prawn
• 13:23
  mayonnaise baguette. Just be a dog baguette.
• 13:26
  It's exactly what I was like. And so she'll see Front walk
• 13:29
  along. Arabic prawn.
• 13:32
  I don't know what prawn is. Little fish, I think.
• 13:40
  So that would be pescapity. Exactly.
• 13:47
  Peshpati, Peshpati, push it. Would you?
• 13:53
  I thought that was a gap. That's actually.
• 13:56
  That's actually there in you, yeah.
• 13:59
  Anyway, yeah, that's what's wrong there.
• 14:04
  You and about you and about in South Shields.
• 14:07
  You got your baguette. Yeah, and I've just.
• 14:10
  Prawn Baguette, which is a cloudy choice I appreciate.
• 14:13
  It obvious, obviously a magnet for seagulls so and all of a
• 14:18
  sudden I felt something clamped down on my shoulder and a
• 14:21
  seagull. Oh.
• 14:22
  That's horrifyingly scary. Yeah, when you mind your own
• 14:25
  business in a not not nice area, eating your prawn baguette.
• 14:30
  I felt something go inside my mouth, take the sandwich out and
• 14:34
  fly away with my baguette. It was a seagull.
• 14:38
  It was your. That's to be got.
• 14:41
  Tongued by a seagull, I would. Like to refer back to the French
• 14:46
  kissing comment. But animals.
• 14:50
  So yeah, proof always on it. Was proof all along.
• 14:53
  But I'm not allowed at the aquarium anymore.
• 14:58
  Fish just slinging their Dicks in the glass.
• 15:02
  Just. I just wanted to see the bright
• 15:07
  colours. Don't look, Charles, OH.
• 15:18
  This derailed. Really.
• 15:20
  Yeah, New Year, New ME journalist Nate of the Nate of
• 15:27
  the Living Cat. Living Cat.
• 15:31
  Join us. I did recommend this and there
• 15:34
  is, we'll get into it. But what did you think before
• 15:39
  you stopped watching it? Because I know you're not a fan
• 15:40
  of horror, and you're not the best cat lover either.
• 15:44
  I like cats. We had a lot of cats growing up.
• 15:48
  I say a lot because I used to kill them.
• 15:50
  I'm joking. I would never.
• 15:52
  Shit ate love. Don't come to me.
• 15:55
  No, I love, I, I like cats. He can't prove it.
• 15:57
  He can't prove anything. It was just he fell of the
• 16:02
  people. It was practice for my later
• 16:05
  endeavours with him. I'm not editing this, not
• 16:09
  editing any of this out. I wasn't expecting you to put
• 16:12
  that much effort in. It's fine.
• 16:15
  No. So I love cats.
• 16:17
  We had we've, we've had, we had different cats.
• 16:19
  Cat was actually my first word as a person because we had cats
• 16:24
  and that's quite an easy word for a baby to learn.
• 16:27
  It's not Cat Stevens. And and my parents were super
• 16:32
  into Cat Stevens at the time. It's in the cradle in that.
• 16:36
  Love it, father and son. Oh the complicated relationship
• 16:41
  with parent to child. So I like cats.
• 16:46
  I don't like horror films, but I saw anything with that many cats
• 16:49
  in the cover. Can't be bad.
• 16:51
  Yeah, it'll be all right. I'll be OK.
• 16:56
  But specifically, I don't like zombie films.
• 16:58
  And this is like a pastiche of a zombie film.
• 17:01
  So. But it turns out if the zombies
• 17:04
  are cats, I'm OK. I just don't like rotting
• 17:07
  corpses is I think, what I've discovered about myself from
• 17:10
  watching this. That's fair.
• 17:11
  I mean there's there is 0 gore in this like 0.
• 17:16
  Yeah, I thought. None.
• 17:18
  They don't even get bitten, they just get licked.
• 17:22
  Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
• 17:25
  Weird. You want to go?
• 17:27
  Did you want Gore? Kind of, but I wanted something
• 17:30
  different. And it was like when I when I
• 17:32
  saw the first scene because like you see someone get turned into
• 17:35
  it and it's just like the rub the pheromones or something on
• 17:38
  you. And it's not like a, it's not
• 17:41
  like a bite you turn. It's just, I don't even, I don't
• 17:44
  even know. You see someone's hand turning
• 17:46
  into a pole and it's like. I I liked that.
• 17:49
  That was cute. Also I don't get like literally
• 17:53
  if I could come back as any living creature on this planet
• 17:58
  in a heartbeat, I would come back as a really lazy domestic
• 18:01
  cat in a nice family home that loved me like in a heartbeat.
• 18:05
  What a blissful existence. Why is everyone running away?
• 18:12
  Why this doesn't make sense to? Me.
• 18:14
  Well, actually that's part of the problem because in this
• 18:17
  world, because there's an intro which reminded me a lot of
• 18:20
  Ultimate Muscle where. There is a touch of that.
• 18:24
  The narrator basically tells you the plot because it's like,
• 18:28
  well, in a world where 90% of the population has a pet cat,
• 18:32
  don't know what's happening to dogs and other animals, but.
• 18:35
  And in this world where 90% of the population own a cat through
• 18:41
  selective breeding, and some cats carry a virus that they can
• 18:47
  transfer to humans, which turns a human into a cat.
• 18:51
  Yes. That is the story, the plot.
• 18:54
  That is the apocalypse. That is the apocalypse, and
• 18:57
  that's how the world goes. And it's about as serious as
• 19:03
  that. Like, this is very silly.
• 19:05
  It's there are lots of jokes, there's lots of pop culture
• 19:08
  references. It's very much like a said so.
• 19:10
  Many. So many to the point where you
• 19:13
  were pointing them out and I was just like, I'd.
• 19:15
  I think at some point I just switched them off because you
• 19:18
  pointed out ones that I hadn't even noticed but were really
• 19:20
  obvious. Yeah.
• 19:23
  But I what I did like it's at one point they're like he's got
• 19:29
  like world leaders in like some secret bunker debating how
• 19:33
  they're going to handle this global crisis.
• 19:36
  And one of them is like, well, humans will still be needed in a
• 19:39
  post post cat regime because the cats don't have thumbs.
• 19:48
  No, it's just like, this is insane.
• 19:51
  But this is do you know what I really like where it was like
• 19:55
  guns and tanks were useless because who could shoot the cat?
• 19:58
  They're just so cute. Yeah.
• 20:01
  No one, no one wants. It's not that people can't, it's
• 20:04
  that just people don't want to. Yeah, they're like I I do think
• 20:09
  there is an element of but this, do you know what this feels
• 20:14
  like? You know when you have like, you
• 20:16
  know when you've got friends over and you just have a bit of
• 20:18
  a sesh and you have a like a bit of a drink.
• 20:21
  Maybe there's some other substances floating around the
• 20:23
  room and you start talking about do you know what be a really
• 20:27
  good. Film isn't.
• 20:29
  Isn't this how they created the musical Cats?
• 20:36
  Maybe, but it feels, well, no, because Cats is based on TS
• 20:40
  Eliot's poems. Maybe he had a sash.
• 20:43
  But even the space bit. The space bit.
• 20:48
  I haven't seen it but don't they go into space and stuff?
• 20:54
  That would be amazing if they did.
• 20:56
  I haven't seen the film. Maybe they did some changes but
• 20:59
  in the like original what's it Andrew Lloyd Webber musical?
• 21:02
  Absolutely not. One of them gets called into
• 21:05
  Jellicle heaven. Like one of them dies and gets
• 21:09
  welcomed into heaven. Do you like on the film?
• 21:14
  Do you see James Corden's bum hole on it?
• 21:18
  I haven't seen that film. I've seen the older film, which
• 21:22
  is like a recording of the stage show.
• 21:25
  That's not a film, sorry, but that's a record of a stage show.
• 21:30
  I'm sorry that you, I'm sorry that you're challenged by art.
• 21:36
  Nobody dies in it, but one person does, apparently.
• 21:38
  But not not. Things die in it, so we're going
• 21:41
  to watch it. Well, you watch this and no one
• 21:45
  dies in this, they just get turned into cats.
• 21:47
  True, true. Yeah, so that was that's, but
• 21:53
  that basically is it. It's just a zombie film, but
• 21:55
  instead of zombies there are cats.
• 21:56
  There's zero gore. There's a lot of culture
• 21:59
  references. It's very silly.
• 22:00
  There are lots of jokes and you also get some really good cat
• 22:03
  facts. Yes, speaking, Speaking of cat
• 22:07
  facts, right, I have actually got how many, how many questions
• 22:12
  is it? Read that This is what this is,
• 22:14
  what whatever you're about to do is.
• 22:17
  This is why I call you Pixie Chris.
• 22:21
  So my tape was shy, I've got some true or false cat questions
• 22:28
  and that I have inserted into this because I don't think
• 22:31
  there's a lot to talk about about this anime.
• 22:33
  So what do you feel like? Somehow, yes.
• 22:37
  We've got to plan it out. Got to plan it out that.
• 22:40
  Got to hear that or more. I do love a quiz.
• 22:44
  Do I win anything? No.
• 22:49
  So this question is true or false.
• 22:55
  A group of cats is called a clouder.
• 23:00
  True. True.
• 23:03
  No. It's true.
• 23:08
  For those listed on the Spotify, their film Cat Dancing.
• 23:11
  Oh yeah. Let's look like that, OK?
• 23:17
  Set question. True or false?
• 23:20
  Cats have identical tools. Tool counts on all four paws.
• 23:28
  Oh, false. Do you mean like, like, yeah,
• 23:34
  false. Yeah, you've got real beans.
• 23:36
  Yeah, yeah, little little toes. And most cats have 5 toes in the
• 23:41
  front paws and four in the back. I didn't know that until I
• 23:46
  googled it. Yeah, and true or false?
• 23:50
  Once served as a mayor of AUS town.
• 23:54
  Oh, this is true. It is true.
• 23:57
  Oh, sorry, I forgot to play. Let's keep this quiet.
• 23:59
  Yeah, you've got to put. Yeah, come on, This is my only.
• 24:01
  Reward split. Take it wrong.
• 24:05
  The US have some crazy laws about their mayors.
• 24:11
  Yeah. And I think didn't the cat get
• 24:12
  elected as like a protest vote? But then it ended up being one
• 24:16
  of the better mayors that they'd had, so he got re elected again
• 24:19
  or something. Yeah.
• 24:21
  Or there's the because they were.
• 24:22
  I don't make the headless chicken.
• 24:25
  I don't have that much info about it.
• 24:27
  It just says an orange tubby named Stubbs was where of
• 24:32
  Talkeetna in Alaska for 20 years.
• 24:34
  I probably said that wrong, but. 20 years is what I'm saying.
• 24:38
  I've seen loads of videos of like mascots are Japanese train
• 24:43
  stations as well. Do you know what?
• 24:46
  Like they'll dress it now like a little train conductor hat and
• 24:49
  stuff, and they'll be like, oh, it's reporting free shift, but
• 24:52
  we're paying in food kind of thing.
• 24:56
  Yeah, which is like saying to people, I'll pay you in clout.
• 25:00
  Really. They should be giving him a
• 25:01
  wage. Yeah, yeah.
• 25:04
  I think he pays for board and he works for board.
• 25:08
  Yeah, but. Last and final question, the
• 25:12
  first can see ghosts, they just refuse to acknowledge them, true
• 25:17
  or false. So I think that cats can see
• 25:23
  into ultimate alternate dimensions, but I think they do
• 25:26
  acknowledge them because I've seen a cat run from a room for
• 25:29
  zero reason. For the first time, false.
• 25:34
  None of the cats are talked to in prep for this podcast.
• 25:38
  Confirm. This, but if they're not
• 25:41
  acknowledging them, then false. Yes, Chris, OK, I love that.
• 25:54
  2026 the year of I find that they can put gifts on obs.
• 26:02
  Oh if Oh yeah, if anyone was listening there I'd just put the
• 26:05
  the grumpy cat, you know, the one over Phoebes face and it was
• 26:09
  doing it. About I've never felt so
• 26:10
  powerful. You asked me what kind of cat in
• 26:17
  So in the lead up to this, one of Chris's prep questions to me
• 26:21
  was what kind of cat do you think I would be?
• 26:23
  And I found specifically a cat in a purple carrier bag with its
• 26:27
  head peeking out that felt like that specific cat.
• 26:32
  I'm I'm quite glad I didn't see that because I did not want to
• 26:35
  Google a cat in a plastic bag. Oh, it had its head peeking out.
• 26:40
  It was OK, like a carrier bag. It wasn't like, yeah.
• 26:48
  Anyway, like the loving cats and tell by the way, that you dodgy
• 26:54
  blink at them and I'll be with you.
• 26:57
  And then call them over. What's the matter?
• 27:00
  We're just going. Because that doesn't work.
• 27:04
  It does every time. If you're a Pixie, it does.
• 27:08
  We've established that whatever you do doesn't necessarily work
• 27:11
  for normal mortals. I don't know if I've got like a
• 27:14
  pheromone or it's a magic dancer they do beforehand, but they
• 27:17
  just come to us. It's weird.
• 27:19
  What's the magic dance? Do the dance.
• 27:22
  No, I can't show you. Oh, because of the Pixie coat.
• 27:26
  No, because I'm wearing clothes. So were there any stand out
• 27:34
  moments in Night of the Living Cat do you think?
• 27:38
  So the one I mentioned of them in the bunker, I thought that
• 27:40
  was funny. I I liked the moments where
• 27:44
  they're like everyone because the so the main characters are
• 27:49
  people who work in a cat cafe. We had to be like.
• 27:51
  Hell, for them weirdly buff people who all work in a cat
• 27:55
  cafe and somehow are action heroes, and there's a bit where
• 28:00
  they're like running away. And one of them is like, I'd
• 28:05
  like, really tortured by the fact that he can't go and play
• 28:08
  with the cats. And I thought that was funny.
• 28:11
  Yeah. But I think that's, yeah, that's
• 28:13
  probably it. It's not like a highlight kind
• 28:16
  of anime as someone is like I when we I when we were talking
• 28:21
  before, I compared it to Way of the House Husband, which is like
• 28:26
  a really silly short thing except for the episodes of this
• 28:29
  are really long. Yeah, yeah.
• 28:32
  For for what are a series of just cat puns and jokes?
• 28:37
  Yeah, don't know if I liked Cats a bit more, this would be more
• 28:42
  entertaining for us, but I'll answer this first.
• 28:47
  But my next question was going to be with you watch past
• 28:49
  episode 3 because as you know, we'll always watch your first 3
• 28:52
  episodes to make sure if we're going to carry on with it and
• 28:55
  see if it's any good. And I'm not mainly because I
• 29:01
  don't think there was much story.
• 29:03
  I mean, even in normal zombie films there's normally drama or
• 29:06
  anything the had nothing to compel us to be like this is a
• 29:11
  standalone thing. There is good humour, there's
• 29:14
  Freddie Mercury, I'm sure I've seen the pigeon lady from Home
• 29:17
  Alone. There's even in the keyword
• 29:19
  reference and it's just like, Oh yeah, spot not.
• 29:22
  But I'm like, it's not enough to keep us engaged the whole time.
• 29:26
  And when you said it was we have the house husband, I said it was
• 29:30
  like it was like a manga artist was doodling on the side of his
• 29:36
  page while creating something he was meant to.
• 29:40
  And it kind of feels that. So if they were in short
• 29:43
  episodic 510 minute episodes, I think that would be amazing.
• 29:48
  I know this this hasn't been confirmed for another season so
• 29:51
  I don't think it'll happen but. I don't think it needs to be
• 29:54
  confirmed for another season and I'm the same.
• 29:56
  I don't think I'll be watching past episode 3 because I feel
• 30:00
  like I've got the joke. Do you know what I mean?
• 30:02
  Like there weren't that like the jokes I think I've heard, I've
• 30:05
  heard there's just going to be more cat jokes and they're only
• 30:08
  saying really cat jokes that you can laugh at.
• 30:09
  Before you were like, OK, I'll go watch something else now.
• 30:12
  Yeah, I mean, I don't dislike it, but I I'm up in a way by it
• 30:17
  to the point where normally on this I try to refresh myself and
• 30:22
  get other names on screen so I can get them all right, so I can
• 30:24
  reference to them. But none of them really stood
• 30:28
  out to his as characters. There was a weird guy who had
• 30:32
  lost his memory and throat by the third episode.
• 30:37
  I wasn't really that bothered if you guys memory.
• 30:39
  Back, yeah, he also clearly caused everything.
• 30:44
  I mean, I think that's just obvious.
• 30:46
  He's obviously got something to do with that.
• 30:48
  Yeah, yeah. Badge and resides.
• 30:49
  He's obviously evil, yeah. Yeah, but that's me.
• 30:54
  It's it's bad, but I'm not saying it's good.
• 30:57
  This is something where. If you need a diversion, yeah.
• 31:02
  If you need a diversion. If you've just watched Berserk
• 31:05
  and you need something silly where you could just watch an
• 31:09
  episode and then dip out again, this.
• 31:12
  I think this would be a good anime.
• 31:14
  If you're looking for like a like, tense action or compelling
• 31:18
  story, or even characters that you want to get behind a root
• 31:21
  for, this is probably too silly. Yeah, Palate cleanser.
• 31:26
  Yeah. It's a palate cleanser and I
• 31:30
  would say go watch where the house has been first because
• 31:32
  that's a better palate. Yeah, and then even before then,
• 31:37
  maybe Shin Chan or something. I will say that there's no weird
• 31:44
  sexism in this. So that's it's got that on Shin
• 31:47
  Chan. Yeah, even because they're very,
• 31:52
  they're extremely buff in this. And you, you look at some of
• 31:54
  them and you're like, are you some sort of weird biker guy
• 31:57
  from Akira? You know, the clones?
• 32:00
  Yeah, Go over the goggles. I thought he was, that's what he
• 32:03
  was meant to be. And I was like, is he going to
• 32:06
  like, but she cat or something? This is it's a bit weird, but
• 32:10
  you get you get none of that. There's there's no goal, there's
• 32:13
  no real violence. And if there's anything like it
• 32:17
  does go into cat facts like at one point someone sprays, there
• 32:21
  are some. Good cat facts.
• 32:22
  Yeah, and it's just like, it it it kind of takes you out of it
• 32:26
  and be like, why do cats hate water?
• 32:29
  And then it goes into like, how they don't like getting the fur
• 32:31
  wet in the biological way. There's another one where he
• 32:35
  throws a cucumber at a group of cats and they're like, oh, yeah.
• 32:39
  It reminds us of the snake of a snake, a cat's natural enemy.
• 32:43
  And then he gets really upset because he scared the cats
• 32:45
  because he's a cat lover. And it's just like, this is kind
• 32:49
  of entertaining, but not enough to rippers.
• 32:53
  Yeah, I'm glad I've. Tried something new?
• 32:56
  Yeah, same. I thought it was fun to do
• 32:59
  something completely different. It was fun watching something
• 33:03
  new. And I had the same thought that
• 33:04
  you had, which is that I wanted to also take us into watching
• 33:08
  something new. So our next challenge of to who
• 33:11
  was going to pick for next week was a random vote in the
• 33:15
  discord. So basically I just put up a
• 33:17
  poll that was like, don't ask why, but Phoebe or Chris.
• 33:22
  Obviously I'm not going to win that.
• 33:26
  But there were there were lots of people going, do you think
• 33:29
  they have to eat something weird?
• 33:31
  So I don't know if I won because people wanted to see me suffer
• 33:34
  or if I won because people are like, who's the best?
• 33:36
  Like the bigger anime fat like people were coming up with what
• 33:40
  do you think the the reason for this is?
• 33:41
  And it was actually just help us pick who's going to pick the
• 33:44
  next anime. Yeah.
• 33:46
  And so the next time, the next anime we're going to watch is a
• 33:48
  sporting anime, and I don't know how to say it yet, so we're just
• 33:52
  going to have to wait until next week.
• 33:54
  But I will tell you that this is a clue.
• 33:58
  Spike is the clue for what anime will be doing next week.
• 34:01
  And it'll be and. Neither.
• 34:06
  But anyway, yeah. Oh that's fine, I've them for
• 34:10
  because genuinely new I've done I've got no experience with
• 34:14
  watching sports anime me. Neither.
• 34:18
  And also I've from what I've seen some sports like so we need
• 34:21
  to have a rule on anime club to avoid certain categories.
• 34:26
  And it's hard when a lot of sports animes are set at schools
• 34:31
  where you get like over sexualized underage people,
• 34:35
  whereas that from what I've seen, that will not be the case
• 34:37
  with this. So it'll be all right.
• 34:40
  OK. But I mean, even even if there
• 34:42
  is, we can talk about it. Yeah, let's just talk about it.
• 34:47
  I didn't get out. Yeah, get ourselves through it.
• 34:50
  Because to be honest, that was that was a hard rule for me.
• 34:54
  And then moved on down to down. That skates close to it, No.
• 35:03
  Yeah, it goes right over the line because she nobbles his
• 35:05
  GOG. Don't know what GOG is.
• 35:11
  You'll have to watch it down to down the.
• 35:13
  Face gobbles his knob. I was this close to choosing
• 35:20
  that as my to Turbo having Turbo Granny as my cosplay for Sunny
• 35:26
  Con, but I do. With all the makeup and the wig
• 35:30
  and everything. It'd be way too warm in June and
• 35:32
  I would just sweat it all off and look insane, so I chose
• 35:35
  something that would be a little bit more weather friendly.
• 35:38
  I think I'll be amazing because I want to see you sat in a pub
• 35:42
  in Newcastle with horrible drippy makeup down here.
• 35:45
  And they'll be, oh, how are you? Oh, I'm a granny.
• 35:47
  Can I have another pint please? Don't go, please just ask
• 35:52
  questions. I actually that would be my go
• 35:56
  to. I love a side.
• 35:59
  Actually, Speaking of which, Speaking of Sulecon, where's my
• 36:02
  Where's my Latex? So we've started a anime club
• 36:08
  Facebook page and. Yes, we have.
• 36:11
  Yes, we haven't got much on it as of today or might have by
• 36:15
  Friday. I don't really like it's what
• 36:16
  Wednesday today anyway anyway and I've bought a litre of
• 36:20
  liquid liquid latex rubber and because we're we're both going
• 36:26
  to go to Sony Con and we're both going to be cosplaying so.
• 36:30
  We are, and it's exciting. I'm really looking forward to
• 36:36
  it. So go to the Facebook page
• 36:37
  because that's where we'll be posting updates to our cost as
• 36:40
  to what we'll be costuming as we get ready to go.
• 36:45
  Nice. And the other thing is that
• 36:50
  we've got an affiliate code now for Japanese snacks and stuff.
• 36:55
  Japanese things. Yeah, do.
• 36:57
  Not forget about that I can say. It somewhere if you want to say

• 37:06
  grab some stuff or you know, I know Christmas has just got come
• 37:10
  and gone and everyone's wallet is a bit short.
• 37:14

• 37:17
  helpful for me personally. But for anyone, so, you know, if
• 37:21

• 37:25
  below, you can find out all the link to the website, which is

• 37:37
  an import website where you can get cool snacks and some
• 37:41
  stationary and stuff as well. I think it's like a yeah, it's
• 37:45
  like an online Japanese mall. So yeah.
• 37:49
  And you're kind of wanting to like treat yourself because
• 37:51
  you've spent all Christmas treating other people and now
• 37:54
  it's time to treat yourself. But you don't want to break the
• 37:55

• 38:10
  Ready for Sunnycon this year? I don't know and I'll probably
• 38:15
  need advice. So if you are a cosplayer or
• 38:17
  know anything about Aztex rubber, honestly messages or
• 38:22
  I'll probably make a post of of this saying does anyone know how
• 38:26
  I can do more certain things because I want to make it from
• 38:29
  scratch. I don't want to like buy
• 38:30
  something from Amazon or whatever and put it on.
• 38:34
  I'm not saying that's a lesser cosplay or anything.
• 38:36
  I just kind of want to give it a good one.
• 38:39
  You know what I mean? Yeah.
• 38:41
  No one else will look like you. I also do need some advice
• 38:44
  around wigs. I'm trying to decide do I dye my
• 38:47
  hair or do I wear a wig? Do you have wigs?
• 38:51
  Do you have wigs? Wigs.
• 38:56
  So like, yeah, please, if you are listening to this and you're
• 38:58
  a cosplayer and you know anything about latex or wigs and
• 39:03
  you're not busy on a Friday night because that does also
• 39:05
  sound like fun Friday night plans.
• 39:07
  And head on over to our new Facebook page.
• 39:10
  All the links and information in the description below.
• 39:13
  Yes, yeah, see you next. See you next week, love you all,
