God, we do my makeup first. Do I look good? Oh, this is gonna be used, isn't it? What's up, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, and welcome to the first episode of the Trash Taste Podcast. Hell yeah. The official first episode.

The official first episode. We finally made it. I'm your host for today, Joey, and joining me every week is Gant and Connor. Hey guys. So yeah, it's finally happening. It's finally happening. Oh my God, you do not know how long we've been planning.

and how long we've wanted this to happen. This shit, like, how long has it been? I mean, we've been conceptualized in this podcast for like, what, over a year. Yeah, it's been year, a year, at least possibly years. Because I mean, when we decided we were gonna move to Japan, I think the first thing in our mind was, well, we've got to make a podcast.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But I think even before that, the idea of just us finally getting into a room and just, you know, not doing a one-off collab, but doing like a continual collab in our minds for ages. Yeah, I want to say several years at least. At least almost as known as long as I've known,

we've always like, you don't be really cool? A podcast. I'm just left out here. I was, I was tacked on at the end. Let's talk about that. Like how we first met each other because I think that's a good introduction to this podcast and how we've grown the relationship.

Yes, because you never know. There might be someone watching who doesn't know, like, who's that guy, who's that guy? Who's this guy? Exactly, right. Hi, I'm Connor. Hi. I'm on a channel.

I'd be pretty surprised if there is someone watching this first episode who doesn't know like all three of us. Yeah, exactly. I mean, maybe. Or maybe they've seen us. If you did, then can you please tell us in the comments about how you found this video? Yeah.

Because we're just so famous that you have no excuse for not knowing who we are. No, I swear. So, yeah, let's, actually, you know what, before we talk about that, we should probably talk about what this podcast is. Oh, yeah. That's true.

I'm just like rushing into things because we're so, we're so, like, excited to finally. I just want to talk, okay? I just want to talk. We're so excited to get this thing off the ground. So basically, trash taste, as the name implies, is a podcast where we, us three, and maybe sometimes even a guest, you never know,

comes onto the show and we basically talk about our trash taste, whether it comes to anime, manga, just otaku culture in general, or you never know. We might talk about whatever the fuck we want, who knows. Yeah, because, If you didn't know, we are all like anime YouTubers. Yeah. So we- No way.

No. Brer. This guy called the anime man. He's just, is maybe an anime. Dug your hole with that one. Yeah, I really fucked myself with that one, definitely. This guy called Seedog Vah, which. Yeah, God.

That, yeah, that too, I guess I'd like. Virginia is that all the comments seem to think. He's from Virginia, guys. It's okay, because the amount of years, I still get comments, which is like, they call me Gig UK and not gig up. How do you do that? I mean, listen, people might call you gig UK,

but I still know you as the anime zone, okay? That AZ in the thumbnails, in the old thumbnails, that's how I knew I was watching an anime zone video. I'm actually curious, how long have you been watching my videos? Because this ties into how we first met as well. I've known you, I mean, I obviously, as I said, I've known you since the anime zone.

That's like, that's a long time. Which is like a long time. But I think I like, I watched you probably not knowing that you were like this like YouTube personality because yeah, yeah, same. Yeah, like, cause I was in like a weird state. I don't think I discovered YouTubers until maybe about 2011.

Yeah, maybe. Because they've been around for a long time since then, right? And obviously you've been around since then. But I never like went onto YouTube being like, I'm gonna go check out my favorite YouTube. I kinda just use YouTube up until around 2011. I think I just use YouTube as to like, either watch music or listen to music videos,

Or just to like, oh, this is an interesting looking video. And I think a couple of your videos were like the interesting looking ones. I think I remember actually the first video I ever watched from you, surprisingly, was not Abo-Bridged. Oh shit, okay, okay, I know. I watched Ava Bridge when I, like,

the idea of a YouTuber came around, yeah. And I was like, oh, a-breeding, that sounds fun, but tedious as fun. But no, I think the first video I watched from you was, oh, God, I probably wanna say it's the Summer Wars review you did. Oh my God. Like the one you did in like 2008.

That's going so far back, what the fuck man? I never even saw your Aver, Average. Yeah, I just, because I hadn't watched Ava, so I was like, why would I watch the, I don't even know what this is British did. It's like, what I watched that. So I think I watched some of your stuff. I just knew you always the British one.

Yeah. The British, that was my branding. Yeah, because there was like Tristan and then you in my mind. I think that was it to a lot of people. At least when I got into it like 2013, I started watching YouTube a lot, especially anime stuff.

Right. Yeah, but then, so how long have you been doing YouTube for? I've been doing it since 2007. He's like an actual OG. I'm, I'll have to like trace back, but I'm think I'm like the fifth ever anime YouTuber of all the time, might be like fourth or fifth, but I've been there since the beginning.

I can recite the entire history of Annie Tube, which we're definitely gonna do it in like a future podcast episode, yeah. Because there's a lot to say, but for now like, I remember the first, I can't I remember what the exact first video I saw from you, Joey, but I remember your video is just getting recommended to me constantly.

And I'm just like, my first thought was, how was no one taking the handle the anime man? I've been on YouTube for so many fucking years, and just now someone is called the anime, there's no fucking way. No, but the thing is, someone did take the handle anime and it. Oh, okay. Because that's why, like, on, like, even my YouTube URL and like my Twitter and everything, it's the anime man,

but instead of it's a one. Because somebody, on like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, like YouTube. Someone took the anime, man. It was like this guy who never uploaded any videos. And he's been around since like 2007. Yeah, yeah. And so I was just like, oh man, you are such a son of a bitch.

So I was like, well, what am I gonna do? All right, fuck it, I'll just replace it one. Somehow that caught on, I don't know how to fuck, but yeah, I mean, I regret that name, let's be honest. I mean, it works for SEO, right? Because the reason I was called the anime zone is because- You're an anime. Yeah, yeah.

Because back in the zone, back in the day, when you could just type in anime and it was just all my videos, I'm like, man, I've won this game. I'm playing the game correctly. And then I came along, I was like, hold my being in. Exactly. You're in the zone?

I'm the man. But I remember the first time I was, I mean, I don't think I ever saw one of your videos. The first time I heard about you, Connor, was actually when you auditioned, for one of my abridge series. So really? Yeah, yeah, so I haven't told his story to Joe yet.

So I did a casting call for one of the in minutes videos, right? And I told people to send in their demo videos. I'm trying to remember what this was now. Because I don't remember. It's going all the way back. And so I asked people to send in their demo reel. And most people send in their demo reel. And this guy, this fucker, doesn't even send in a demo reel.

He just sends in a YouTube video of him doing League of Legend character to impressions. And I'm like, wait, let me explain. As to why you should also never do that yourself. Yeah, yeah, don't do that. Wait, when someone asks for demos, send a demo reel, yeah, no,

I think at the time I didn't have a character demo reel. And to be fair, I still don't have a character demo reel because I never needed it. Okay, here's the thing as well. A lot of character demos on Twitter, you'll hear them, they're really, really bad. Yeah. And the thing is, when you're making it yourself, you don't have anyone to say like, hey,

this voice kind of sucks. So like every time I've made a professional demo I've had like a director who's like handshows in every scene and told me what to do. And then it sounds good because someone who can hear your voice and be like, oh, do this and that. But back then I didn't know that. And this was before I started doing a lot of professional stuff

and there. It's a great way to introduce yourself to someone. This is why, okay, this is also another thing. You shouldn't send a demo to someone if it's garbage because you're gonna, like this guy still remembers that shit. I remember because he was the only person who didn't send a demo but just sent a YouTube video of him doing impressions.

Never send, like, if there is a, like, a checklist of things not to send for a demo, do not send character impressions. That's such a big, that's such a big dick mood. It's like, I don't even need a character demo. Exactly, like, my impressions are good enough. So, I mean, do you remember which characters you did? I think so. I think they were like,

it was just a bunch of the manly guys from League of Legend. Just anyone with a low voice. Yeah, yeah, basically. Wow, what a first. I did Lux too. I don't know I did Lux. No, it's like it's been awesome seeing you

how far you've come from sending in a character impression reel to like, doing a lot. That was like, that must have been just like a year or two after I started as well and I still like, you think that you figure stuff out after a year, but like you realize when you look back like you still, you didn't know shit. Because what year did you start?

YouTube, uh, YouTube I started 2015, 2015, 2015. 2015, I started voice acting really? in like 2013, late, 2014. So that gave me a big advantage. I went into it with like a great microphone. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which a lot of people- Cause you had that voice acting.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I mean, funny enough how I met you, I actually have the email. I sent to him. Wait, wait, wait, what? You have an email? I have the email. Before we started recording this,

we were gonna talk about like how we all met one at our number. This guy was like, I don't think Joey remembers the first time we met. I think I do though. Okay, should we read the email that I said. Yeah, go, go, please. Okay, this is when I had. Well, you sent it to me, right?

Yeah, yeah, so this is about like, I must have been like four months into me doing YouTube and I think I had like maybe 3040K subs at this point. Yeah, yeah. I think Joey, I think he had like 900K at this time. Probably. It was something like, you had a lot. Like way more than I had.

And so I sent you an email saying, wow, this is so informal. Hello, there, my name is Connor, Connor or C-Dog VA on YouTube. Wait, this doesn't make any sense grammatically. or C. Dog VA on my, I need to use commas. Hello there, my name is Connor or C dog VA on YouTube, Channel here.

And then- Channel here. Okay, here's where it starts to get real cringing. I've been working on a Levi versus Sebastian rap battle. Oh my God. I remember that. Okay, wait, I'll finish it that I'll explain. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it is about 90% complete.

I noticed you recently did a rap battle and it was well done. Wow, I couldn't have kissed your ass more here, huh? It's more of an insulting each other character rap. I have the voice of Sebastian Michaelish English dub down to a T. Wow, I was really cool. Wow, well. And I was wondering if you'd like to be Levi.

If you wish to talk to me more about it and the logistics, feel free to contact me on Skype. The logistics is the logistics. What logistics? I wanted the sound professional as far as far as ordered to reply to this email. Any response is appreciated. Kind of regards, C dog Vee. Don't even use my real name, C dog Vier.

And then Jerry replied saying, Hi there, sure, sounds like fun, smiley face. I added you on Skype, we can talk about it. And I remember the first thing that Jerry sent me was like, yo, your voice is cool as fuck. Yeah, and I was like, I still think that to this. Yeah, yeah. So that's how, like, and to this day,

I thought that was so cool that you actually replied because I'm not gonna lie, I'm kind of mean. When I see a video, normally when it's like collab, it's normally like, it's normally like a, yeah, normally it's like, I don't know what I wanna do yet, but I wanna collab. Right, yeah, yeah. And it's like, what do you don't know what you wanna do yet?

You're pitching, What the fuck? So that's why I met you. Yeah, I fucking remember that too because yeah, the rap battle I did was, oh, so bad, don't watch it. It was pretty bad. It was pretty fucking bad.

At the time, it was the first time I ever used the green screen in my video. Oh! And like, because I was in my tiny bedroom in Australia, there was no place to prop up the green screen. So what I had to do, it was so ghetto. What I had to do was I had to get the green screen green screen and literally like tape it to the ceiling.

No, I've done exactly the same thing before, man. And just like let it droop down and just stand in front of it. And like I had no lights and you can see my shadow fucking flickering in and out the whole video. I obviously couldn't wrap at the time either. I'm a little bit better now. But yeah, it was a, what was it? It was a light, no, it was L-Dethnote versus Lloosh from Code Games.

Right, I remember it. And I played Looch and another friend of mine played L. Yeah. And I think the video has like half a million views. I don't know how. Yeah, I mean this is back when it was like epic rap battles of history. Yeah, we basically wanted to do an epic rap battles of history, but with no cosplay.

It's just two dudes just wrapping in front of a green screen. Checks out, that's like 2015 in YouTube. Yeah, yeah, but basically like that kind of somehow popped off on my channel and then, yeah, and then you messaged me about it. Because I actually was writing that with Grey Fox at the time. Yeah. Amazing guy. Yeah.

And I thought like, we had like a banger. We had like so many, like, Greyfox had made the tracks for many beats and they were like amazing. And sending emails, that's such a boom away to slide into someone's DMs. I mean, now it's Twitter. Yeah.

Not to mention, we added each other on Skype. Oh yeah. The back, the good old days of Skype. And then I think like your Skype account got hacked or something at some point. Yeah, it was like, it did. It got hacked twice. Yeah.

That, uh, I know how I've met you, but it was weird because I think Sydney, I saw Sydney was following me. Yeah. Sid's nap. my fiance. Yeah. And I think I followed her back

because I knew of Sydney. And then Sydney DM'd me. She'll say that she didn't, Sydney DM me first. I knew. And she was like, you're going to MCM, which is a convention in London. And I was like, oh, come, come to this meet up,

you can meet me and Gaunt. I didn't get to meet Gaunt, because he was too busy. So I turned up like an idiot, was like, hi, I'm like, sea dog and stuff. And everyone's like, who the fuck, who are, who are you? At the time, I had like 200K subscribers.

So it was like a substantial, amount for that time period. Well, it was funny because you had an audience that was vastly different from every other anime YouTuber. I mean, still like that to this day. Yeah, yeah, that's true. I reckon. It's gone like a lot less.

So at the time in around 2000, uh, the peak of it, at 2014, I had a 93% female audience. Which was unheard of it. Like, I don't, I think his, his nickname when we first met him was the 93%. Yeah. Was it? Yeah.

That's what? I would have heard of that. We were just like, how's the 90% doing? I'm okay. I got bullied for it. I really want to start calling you that from now. It's like 55, 60% now. It's leveled out a lot.

Because you've been doing Jojo. Yeah, it was crazy though. And that's like all the YouTubers in anime, all dudes. There was like one or two girls, but it was all dudes. So every time I turned up to like an Anachuber meetup, everyone's like, who the fuck is this guy?

How has he got 200K? How does, how did he get that? How did none of us know? Why does this guy from Virginia? You don't know what the fuck. Yeah, so I mean that's how I met gone and then we went from now, really. Yeah, can I tell the story about how the first time

we met in person? Yeah, because I don't know where you're gonna start this story from. So the first time we met in person, so it was like AX 2000, is it 17? It was 16 or 17. I think, so I knew Joey. I didn't know that he knew who I was. Right. Vice versa, I knew Garn, but I didn't know if he knew me.

Yeah, so this was back when I had, like, if you didn't know, I took a hiatus on, um, on YouTube for like two years because I got a real time, a real job and everything like that. And in that time, I had gone from being like one of the most popular anime YouTubers to just, you know, just someone who had taken hiatus. And in that time, Joey had like exploded. Like you were, you, you've reached numbers that. Back in my time, I didn't know it was even fucking possible.

Like you were like close to a million. You were like hot shit at the time. Yeah. So the first time. You're welcome. So the first time I saw Joey, we were like in Little Tokyo or something. Yeah, I remember exactly where it was too. It was that part in like the back half of Little Tokyo. Like right, it's like underneath a building and you go into where the,

it's like a figurine shop right at the end. Yeah, yeah. And you were walking with Jeff, right? Yeah, yeah, that's right. Jeff, because I think Jeff said hello to Misty because they're both tall motherfuckers. They're like two meters tall. So it was just like standing next to two fucking skyscrapers

while we're just hanging out. And I remember looking at you and you looked at me and we didn't say shit to each other. And I thought this motherfucker must hate me. This motherfucker hates me. And at the same time, like, Garne and I looked at each other in the eyes and in my head I was like,

This guy definitely hates me. This guy hates my guts. So I'm just like, man, Joey's such an arrogant piece of shit, man. I can't believe this guy. I remember we shook hands. We were like, hi, I'm Joey, nice to meet you. And I'm like, hi, I'm God, nice to meet you. And that was here.

And that was it, that was it. It was so awkward. I never heard this story. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Well, because the only people who were there was Misty, Jeff and Arki, I think, and us too. So it was like very small.

And then what, like fast forward? like what two years? I think it was just, I think it was next year. It might have been even less than that when I came to a trip, went on to a trip to Japan or something. And then- And you randomly DM'd me.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was like, for some reason he follows me, so maybe he doesn't hate me. Maybe he's cool. Maybe he's cool. So yeah, we DM'd each other and then we met in Japan and then we were just like instantly,

instantly just like, fucking great friends, you know, from that point. We went to an Isla, No, we met up in Akihabara, and we like hung out a little bit and then we went to an Izakaya in Ueno. Yeah, yeah.

Until like two in the morning or something, like something ridiculous like that. We missed the last train. Yeah, and then we were like. Wow, it sounds like a romance. I know. We missed the last train. We had so much fun together.

Because we had the moment when we just, we were seeing it in the Isakaya and I was like, I thought you hated me. And I was like, I thought you hated me! We don't hate each other, high five. And yeah, and then after that, we had like a karaoke night where we... Yeah, I think it was like a few days later.

Yeah, and I think that's when the seeds of the podcast was sewn, I think, because we were up to, we missed last train and we were just with karaoke with each other and Sydney and there was like two other people. Yeah. And then everyone else had fallen asleep, but it was just us two and one other guy.

It was like 5 a.m. I didn't remember who the other guy was. I don't remember either. He wasn't like a friend of God or mine. He was just a dude. He was just a dude. He didn't know who we were. Like he didn't know that we were like anime YouTube or anything.

So we were up at 5am, drunk as shit. And then me and Joey just start hosting this panel for this one guy. Right? We each had like a karaoke microphone each. Like echo you shit. We were just like welcome to the panel. And there's just one dude across the table and be like, who, yeah, he didn't know who we were,

but we still just hosted this anime panel for him. I don't know if, I didn't even know if he watched anime or not. But I'm like, Joey, what's your opinion on Bakimonegatari? Who is best girl? And this went off for like an hour. Yeah, and this went on for like an hour. And then after that we were like, we need to host a panel together.

Yeah. And we managed to do that last year at AX. Which was awesome. First time, that was amazing. Yes. Yeah, like two. two, three years in the making. And in between that, we were like,

surely we gotta make a podcast sometime there. And here we are after fucking, what, three or four years? Yeah. From like first conception. Yeah. And like even like planning this whole podcast out as well, like took a very, very long time. Because this is actually a studio for it.

Yes. So we had to like get our own studios. As you can see, we're still working on it. Still working on it, but give us some time. Stick around for that. Just like getting a studio in Japan. near Tokyo, my fucking God. Don't even get me started on how hard that was, okay? It's fucking impossible.

I'm sure we can talk about in future or experiences with just renting and all that stuff in Japan, my God, but yeah, no. You know what's funny when you guys are like, you said you like just clicked like that after you guys start talking? It's so like, I think that happens easily when you're both like around the same like sub thing

because there's no question if you're trying to leach off each other. Right, yeah, yeah. Because I remember like when I first started, And when I was trying to, like, when we were like first like hanging out, I always felt like, man, do they wonder if I'm just like a leach or something?

Cause like I had like 150, 200. And they had like million plus, right? So you just get this thing in your head, you're like, man, am I, am I, like, leaching? Do they think that? But then like when you get like, I think now I don't give a shit, because like I, I mean, I mean like,

concerning you and I, like, we popped off very naturally. Yeah. Because, spoiler, we never ended up doing that no, no, no, no, no, no. That just like disappeared because I think The first time I like publicly did something with you was on your stream.

Yeah, yeah, you did. And we played BroForce together for like three hours or something. Yeah, those highlights are still up on YouTube as well. Oh really? Yeah, they are, yeah. Yeah, and then I think we just, I played a lot of games on your stream with you. And then I think we just hung out at AX and it just went.

And then obviously- We play like metal slug and shit on my own job. Oh yeah, metal slugs on like my favorite games. And then I think we just did British things and met up and got drunk. Did British things. Yeah, I feel like it's so easy to befriend other British people because it's just like,

we just get it, I don't know. No, like, going, going, off to what you said about feeling like you're leaching from someone. It's weird, right? Because as someone who's been in the position of, you know, not, you know, being a smaller YouTuber and a larger YouTuber,

it's, you can kind of get a sense just from meeting a person, especially if you meet them in real life, right? Online, it's so fucking difficult. That's true. To gauge what a character, what someone's character is actually like. And, you know, if they're trying to, you know,

bleach off you or get clout or whatever, but especially at an event like AX. Oh my God. Where the real person comes out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can definitely get a better judge of character at a convention or meeting someone in real life like a big event like AX.

I think there's also a lot with that is that when you're at AX, I think some people think, okay, I've only got five minutes with this guy and I've gotta like befriend him. So they, I think they like, sometimes they go overboard with like trying to impress you where it's like, what the fuck is this guy? I mean, one thing I've noticed,

with when it comes to like, because I've been to so many conventions where like people have come up to me just for that like five minutes that they have time with somebody. So like just, I don't want to say kiss ass, but you know when someone's trying to kiss ass you're right. Or like, but like the thing is

is that like at least earlier on when I would meet people like that and they're trying to be nice to me during those five minutes. Yeah. I didn't know if they were just trying to kiss my ass or if they were genuinely nice people. Yeah.

But the one way I found it is if they, can, I guess, like, try and maintain that friendship with you and try and stay contact with you after that event, then I think they're like genuinely nice people. Yeah, yeah, because I don't want to make it sound like we're all fucking assholes, you think. Just jaded cunts who don't like a fly to anything. I'm talking, hearing about how you just message Connor back

from just that one email. I also remember the point when I would just try to like talk to everyone and clap with everyone. But then you get to a point when you see that 90% of these emails and 90% of these people talking to you don't actually mean what they mean or looking for something. And you get a sense for that as time goes by.

So it's... I feel like you can just glance at an email now and you know what they're up to. Yeah. Usually if it starts with, I'm 13 years old. Then that's something you just need to insta delete. Actually, here's a question for you. What's the weird...

I know you've got some stories of this, Connor. Oh, God. What are some of like the weirdest fan emails you've ever received. I get them every week. I like to say every week, but it's like, I've gotten somewhere, it's just like, I genuinely think,

like I'm actually scared to open it, even though there's like no attachments, no links or anything, not even a subject title. It's literally just, I open it and it says, you're cool. Opening an email like that at like midnight is like the scariest shit. ever because I'm just like, did my computer just get hacked?

I don't know if this is like an elaborate like trojan or if it's just like a 10 year old who's learning to use email for the first time. Like, I'm like thanks but who are you? Or when they just send a link, that's creepy. Oh yeah, that's just send a link. It's like, do I click? No, that's always a sauce.

Yeah, yeah. Man, I don't know, I've got so many stories, I guess, of emails. Because I guess it's my fault because I kind of encouraged it a little bit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've made multiple videos where I've got content from my email. Sometimes it's good, but then also,

I think now since I've joined an agency, I feel bad for the agency where they sometimes see the shit I get sent. Luckily, I normally like delete the ones that I know are like, just trolling before by agency you can see it because I don't want some Japanese worker opening my email and it being like, hey, I think you're dummy thick and I'm 13 by the way.

Like, that's like, you get stuff where they'll say, like they wanna date you and they'll put their 13 and like, it's just like, is this Chris Hansen? Is Chris Hansen emailing me? Yeah. I think I spoke about this in a video once, but there was someone who emailed me and I still remember this because like,

I had an interact, I replied to it. And it was this interaction where they sent me a script of phone sex that we were gonna have. So it was like, what? What? I actually still have the script. I'm not gonna read it out

because there's more to the story. There's the reason why I decided to not make it into a video. But it was like a script and it was, first it was one script was me and her and there was also a music set list that she'd chosen. So there was when the music would play.

She had the music chosen and a few in the end by Lincoln Park. No, no, the worst point was it was like pour some like sugar on me. Oh my, it was, you know, like the cheesiest songs. Yeah, yeah. And so I thought in my head,

because back then I read all of them in depth and I thought wow, this is a video idea if I can like keep this going. Right. And there's also another script where it's me having gay sex with Sebastian Michaelis. Of course. I mean that would be expected. Yeah.

That's funny that that's like not the weirdest story. I'm surprised you didn't make a video. Well okay so here's why and I feel bad. I hope this person isn't watching. So I interacted with them a bit and they were like, obviously I knew they were gonna be strange right because who sends an email like that. Yeah.

And I started interacting with them more and more And then they started sending me way too much information about themselves. There's also another guy who sent me his birth certificate by the way, that's a whole nother email. Oh, don't do that. Yeah, that's dangerous. Don't do that.

I didn't ask for it. His opening email was his, his my birth certificate driving license address and I was like, what is it wrong with you? I also mentioned this, I don't know which video I said, I mentioned all this, but yeah, so I replied to this person, I kept replying with them

because they kept replying with really funny stuff. And I was like, oh my God, I can get an amazing video out of this. And then, with the one thing they said, which made me think, okay, now I just have to like completely scrap all this is that they said like, oh, here are my hobbies, hobbies, blah, blah, blah. By the way, I'm in the Special Olympics team for the USA

and I was like, oh my God, what? What? No, no, no, no. Like, why you shouldn't be sending me this? And then I explained to them, you know, I was like, hey, maybe you shouldn't send this email to me and, you know, I don't think this is like an appropriate way and I'm really sorry for like messing with your time

and stuff. I just, it was a whole thing where I was like, oh my God, I'm an asshole and Jesus Christ, like, yeah, there's so many emails where I've gotten where I mean, I made a whole video where I went on a date with someone and I was a date. Yeah, yeah, yeah, from an email. That was scary watching that video.

You were like, Connor's gonna get cancer. I'm like, this kid's gonna get stabbed. Yeah, I remember you pitching that video idea to me and I'm just like, Conno, I don't know if that's the best idea, but I mean, it turned out a good video. Yeah, I pitched it to like 10, 10 of our friends and everyone was like, whoa, Whoa, whoa, no, don't do that, don't do that.

I love how Arki, my girlfriend was like genuinely worried for you. It's like, I really don't think. I think Connor's going to die. I think if you watched the video, they felt more concerned for the girl because we turned up with like me, Evan, Moudan and another guy and just one girl. Yeah, and just like one girl alone, right?

So like, you know, but it was like, I'm wholesome in the end, it was all wholesome. She's really nice about it and, you know, she liked the video, so that was good. Jesus Christ. She just walked into our casting couch. All right. I guess like I don't get so, top that, top that.

Yeah, exactly. I can't top that. I can't top that. I actually, I actually don't get that many weird emails or weird fan mails. Yeah. I don't know. I guess it's because I mostly talk about anime and it's,

it's less about my own personality, I guess. I don't know. I guess like one weird email I got recently, which wasn't even an email to me, right? So someone used my email and pretended to be me and emailed Studio Witt. Okay, okay, I got the email here actually. The emailed studio Witt pretending to be me

because they used my email and I got a notification from the official studio Witt. Like you know like the automatic notification that says hey you've submitted this email to us. Okay, so the email reads, Hello, I am anime reviewer Gigac. I will make a request of you. Many people want Erin and Micasa to have a relationship.

Erin X. Micasa. I think if this happens, many people will enjoy the anime more. This has to be a troll. This has to be a troll. I would be pleased with the development of events in this direction. That's how it was.

I hope you will evaluate my proposal. I wish you good day. Man. I wish you good day. This sounds like the email I said, contact me for more so we can figure out the logistics. We can figure out the,

logistics of Aaron X. Micasa. Oh my God. You know, let's just completely bypassed Isayama. Just go straight to Witt. They have the final saying. Fuck you, Isayama, we're doing this. Like, I like how they just emailed Studio Witt, who has no creative control over how Attack on Titan's gonna end anyway.

I really want, I really wish that, like, Studio Wid took that email seriously and, like, actually hooked up, like, Isayama being like, so, uh, this popular anime review on. You know Giggo, right? Yeah, we- You know Giggo, right? Giguk, right?

Giguk, he wants Aaron and Micasa together? Do you think that's possible? Can you make this a thing? Can you please make this a thing? Hey, season four, Attack and Titan, I'm ready, I'm ready. Hey, you never know, man, like, none of us have caught up on the manga, right? No, no, no, might...

It might happen. I feel like, I feel like it's a crime to experience it through the manga. And if it does happen, we can thank a certain email. If Aaron X and Micasa is a thing, I'm a thing, I know who calls this fake gun gets all the credit. Jesus Christ, yeah, I think, I mean, I think we'll break out the beers. This has been a long time coming.

Welcome to Trash Taste Podcast. If you want to know, drinking is going to be a quite frequent occurrence on this show. Yeah, so get used to it. Yeah. So that was, I didn't imagine our intro was gonna be that long. In my head, I was like, You didn't even come by, bitch?

Yeah, I'm, Jesus Christ. I'm an alcoholic. Finally. Now, I think, would you guys all say that? Attack on Titan season four is your most anticipated anime season? Absolutely, absolutely. How do you even match that hype at this point? Wait, is it next season?

It's, uh, it was meant to be airing this fall, I think. No, this summer, I believe. No, it was definitely, it was four. Really? Yeah. You're wrong, Joey. I'm sorry, I shouldn't, I should have gone up against the guy email studio. He's got a personal contact that way.

But yeah, I think it's, I'm pretty sure it's airing it was scheduled to air next fall. And I've heard from, because I made a video about the first three seasons of Attack and Titan, and I've heard from pretty much everyone who's read the manga that season four is going to be the best season.

Oh, no, I have also heard that. I mean, even if it was just mediocre, I feel like we'd still like, just think it's amazing because the journey to get there has been sold. And this last part was, oh my God, every episode was a bang-up. My God, like, it's so rare that you get to see a series just improve over time every season.

Because I remember when Attack on Titan season one was airing, right? And I was, it was great, it was great, but I felt like it was very forgettable in the sense of, well, I remember when season two aired, I didn't remember anything that happened in season. You know what? I remember specifically in your video of the like seasonal review, you said,

remember to attack on Titan? And then you just play cricket noises and moved on. And I remember being like, what? I'm watching Attack on Titan season two, it's good, I think. No, but like, no, I do agree though, that like season two, because season one, when I watched it, I was like, okay, this cool. The hype was insane.

Yeah, and then season two came around and actually dropped it. No one cared during season two. Yeah, because I think what it was was that, because season one was, you know, all about, like, the action and just like building the world. And then season two was a lot of politics and a lot of talking.

Yeah, season two just took the pace because season one was like a fucking roller coaster. You were going up and down every few episodes. It was like you didn't know what was going to happen, but to me it felt a bit empty. And season two felt much slower pace. It was more of like a slow burn when they focused more on the characters.

But I actually got really drawn into the world way more into season two. But by the time season two ended, I was like, okay, I'm now way more invested, but nothing really big has happened. Because it was 12 episodes. Yeah, yeah, it was just 12 episodes. I think everyone was really true.

was like, what the fuck, we've waited four years or something for 12 episodes. Well, because they rushed it out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They didn't expect it, but I mean, definitely I think in season three when that scene with Levi came out, as I think when it just exploded. Yeah, yeah.

Because everyone saw that GIF on Twitter and was like, I gotta fucking catch up. Like, this is insane. Like, just thinking about that scene, like gives me goosebumps. It's so good. It's so good. Because I remember season three, part one,

I enjoyed so fucking much. Oh yeah. Because I didn't realize I could care about the politics that much in Attack on Titan. Because I remember by the time season three started, I was enjoying Attack on Titan for completely different reasons than Season 1. You know what I mean?

And I can say the same thing about every season. So I've heard season four is going to be completely different, completely different to what's previously been. Because I mean like, I don't remember when it was, but Me and Aki went to the Attack on Titan exhibit that they did in Roppongi. And basically it was really tight. because what they did was essentially,

they really catered to the manga readers, unfortunately, and I am not the manga reader. So in like the later rooms of the exhibit, they basically, like on all the walls, they would have like the original genga of the manga right, right, in these frames, which is fucking cool. Yeah, but then as you got further down the exhibit, they would start showing stuff that hadn't been adapted yet.

Right. So I was like, all right, let's just, let's just cover my eyes. But obviously there were just some stuff that I couldn't really avoid. scene and the tiny little bits that I did see out of context, I was like, what the fuck? Wow. There is no fucking way that's happening.

And then to top it off, there was this room, this was like a really experimental move on them, their part, but there was this room that you had to go into and it was completely pitch black room. And there's just audio playing on the speakers in this pitch black room. And what that audio is, is it's audio of what Isayama envisions the final chapter of Attack on

It's not timed to be. So there's no visuals. He's just a spoiler card. So there's no visuals. It's just audio and it's what he envisions. It will sound like when it adapted to an anime. The only thing we heard was a lot of like background noises and like ambient noises and and Micahasa yelling Aaron

from a long way away. Okay, that could mean anything. Which could mean anything. I mean like I'm obviously not doing the audio justice, but it sounded epic. Can we get a one-to-one reenactment right now? It was just like, Buh-W-W-H-D-A-D-Hs.

That's all it was. Yeah. Just a Wilhelm scream in there as well. Oh my God. Yeah, but I mean, I'm obviously not doing the audio justice, but it sounded like, when I just like closed my eyes and heard that, I was like, wow, I've never been more excited for an anime in my life.

It's good to know that the anime and the manga will end with Mikasani screaming Aaron, as she has done. Technically a spoiler. As she has done for the entire fucking series. I mean, is there, I mean, with the track record the Attack on Titan has right now, I mean, it's, I mean, every episode,

you could argue, it's been really good, right? I mean, the story's just been, there's no, like, faults in the story so far, right? It's holding out pretty well. Yeah, yeah, I'd say it's, and it'd been building on its story. Right, really, really well. Like what, if this, if they nail this ending,

what, like, category is this in of like, Masterpiece. Masterpiece. What would you put it as like anime in the same category then if it killed this last season? My fucking good. Like could it even be in its own thing where like no anime is like as good?

I would say. That's hard. That's hard to say. That's a big statement right there. But I mean how I'm just trying to think how many like how many anime series have there been where it's stretched out for I mean. Over 50 episodes.

Over 50 episodes like let's say four or five seasons and has like killed it this hard. Yeah, I would say, it be similar to something like Full Metta Alchemist, Hunter Hunter. Although I'd say it's, I haven't seen Full Meta Alchemist. I get that's, so my fan base, my, my fan base knows this.

It's a big fucking meme, but Full Meta Archimus is that one anime that I haven't seen. We all have that one anime. Yeah, I guess when I think about it, you know, Hunter Hunter for, it's, I mean, it hasn't ended though, which is probably the problem where you couldn't argue it's in the same class,

but I guess Full Milakus Brotherhood, maybe you could. Yeah, because you never know, like Hunter Hunter might, I'm hoping, but you never know, but Hunter Hunter might end up like a Yu-U Hark show where the ending's just like. I think that's the problem is that

I think everyone's kind of beginning to accept that slowly. I think so, yeah. Because the world is just, especially now with the dark continent stuff, which, you know, it's a lot of stuff with Hunter Hunter, but it's looking like it's even more ambitious than before

and he's not releasing chapters. No. Well, he is at a very slow rate. It's gonna take a whole lifetime to catch up, but going back to attack on Titan, I think, I called it like, If it's, even if it was of the quality of season three part two,

ended in that quality, it would be a modern classic. Oh, for sure, for sure. Yeah, I agree. If it's even better than that, I have no fucking clue. But that makes me so excited. That makes me so-

The fact that we might be getting that in our generation. The fact that there's a possibility of that is just nuts. I think the last time I was possibly that excited for like a follow-up was One Punch Man season two. We all know how that happened. Like it wasn't, okay, I really, I watched a few clips recently of One Punch Man season two. And it wasn't that bad.

I think it's just, we set our expectations disgustingly hard. It wasn't bad, it was painfully mediocre. It was like seven deadly sin season one. And then it like, so what I'm hoping, what I'm hoping is that the next season, assuming we get another one of One Punch Man, is that it doesn't go to seven deadly since season three. Yeah.

Oh my God, that shit is still, like I haven't seen any of Seven Deadly Sings. I don't know anything about it, never read the manga, never watched the anime. But not gonna lie, there's a part of me when I saw footage of season three. Yeah. I was like, I kinda wanna watch this now

just to see it devolve into this current state. Like, I remember because the fight that they fucked up was one of the most hyped fights. Yeah, in the manga, right? That's what I heard. Yeah, it was one of the most hyped fights. And then they fucked it up so much that fan animation of that fight

that was released before looked better than the official fight. Because when I found out about that scene, someone put it up on Twitter and had to preface it by saying, no, this is not a fan animation. This is the official episode. Because everybody in that tweet was like,

is this fan made? This has to be fan made, right? This is like some guy who just learned how to use Flash like a week ago. Just, you know what sticks out of my mind? That kick. The kick. When that gift first came out and I saw

The kick, which you'll probably see you on screen right now. I fucking lost him, like, I laughed so hard. I don't think I'd ever, like, I'd watched all of Seven Deadly Sends up at that point. And like, I wasn't like a huge fan boy, but every time a new season was announced to the OBAs, I'd watched them.

I'd never so quickly lost interest in a series just from seeing that one screenshot of Melly Otis, like, getting up from the bed. I was like, what did they do to him? What did they do to him? We've never seen anything, like, has that happened? in the anime before, like where a season has like so drastically like changed,

like changed studios and lost. I'm sure like if you think through. I know, I know I'm going to kill myself for not remembering like what this is, but there's been so many times that's. That drastic though? Yeah. There's been a few examples. Maybe because the difference was when it happened back then is that there wasn't Twitter

and when it happens now, oh, you know when it happens now. Yeah, exactly. There was just like a bunch of like otaku gathering being like, It's in the only season season and shit. Like the only thing I can think of right now is like off the top of my head is Berserk. Oh God. Which, I mean it's changed studio

but it was technically a continuation. Okay, okay, okay, what's worse then? Berserk, the second adaptation of Berserk or the Seven Deadly Sins of the new season? Berserk. Really? I'd say Berserk, yeah. That, okay, alright? Because I mean like, you know,

I'm saying that from like a hardcore Berserk fan. I haven't read the manga, so. Yeah, because if you read the, if you read the Moller, I'm sure everybody who's read the manga can agree with this, but like, I have never wanted to like cry from sadness. I'm like, how could they do my boy guts like that?

And like, I've, yeah. Because the Berserk adaptation was just a failure on pretty much every level. Every level from like the animation, which everyone likes to point out, but like the composition, the sound design. I mean, if you've heard that like, bong,

Like sound that, it's just, what, how did you get this? Who did you hire to do the sound design? Yeah, what folly artist is like, fucking came up with that sound? Like how did you see this big fucking iron sword and just like, let's pull out a cowbell? Just do a Jojo, make everything a gunshot. Yeah, exactly.

Every punch kick. I mean, that would have been even better. Honestly, can I talk about Jojo sound design? I love Jojo sound design so much. Because sound design is something that people don't normally talk about. No, no, no. And you don't, you don't really, you don't really hear people. It's like voice acting, right?

When it's done well, you don't notice. Yeah. So with Jojo sound design, it's one of the few shows where if you hear, if you hear like a sound. You know it's from Jojo. You know the exact stand and you know the, like sometimes it's the exact episode and the exact fight because they're,

that recognized one that they're like not generic at all. And I fucking love Jojo sound design because the reason why I think the anime is as good as it is, one of the reasons is that the sound design is so fucking good. Like, have you guys seen the, I assume you guys have seen the Jojo OPs where they add the sound effects. And it's so much better, isn't it?

So cool. I don't know why they don't do that for the airing versions. I mean, it's not really what you see in an OPE right? Right, yeah, I guess, I guess. It is pretty unconventional. But I mean, there's so many sounds that you could say, like, I can't, like, when you hear that gunshot for the punch,

you know it's a Jojo. And it makes it sound so meaty, it's great. Oh, I love it. Just the punching sounds. Like every time, you know, like there's like a muda or like a, you know, or an aura, like, like, it's like the, it is almost like gun-like, isn't it? Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's like gunshot.

Like you can hear it, it's a gunshot. Like, and then obviously the Zawarado time stop, which I feel like it's almost become the universal sound of stopping time. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. And then there's also, you know, the, I mean, if you talk about music alone, my God, the new season, he killed him. Oh my God, yeah.

It's like, I think Super Eye Part 12, John said this in his review of Golden Wind and I feel the same way, like this is, Golden Wind was the first adaptation of a Jojo where I think the anime is better because you lose so much when you take away that sound and especially the music. When you hear that Jordanos theme, come on,

oh, do you get shit hot? John's theme is one of the few tracks in anime that has been memed to death. Yeah, it is, it is Al Megalavania. And I have not, I have not gotten bored It's so good. At all, at all. Every, like, every version I've heard of Jonas theme,

I've equally just been like, yes. It's so, like a piano version, metal version, I don't care. It's always been so good. Like when we can go back to the gym, some of the best music to put when you're working out is Jojo's. It works so well. And I know it should work well, but man, when that piano hits, you're doing an extra rep,

no matter how tired you are. You're doing that extra rep. for a rap. Oh, it's so good. It's almost too hype sometimes though. Yeah, yeah. You're like, oh shit, I gotta keep doing this rapper. I'm dying right now.

Don't let my boy Jojo down. Speaking of anime adaptations though, there is one topic I would like to cover because it is quite timely. Yeah. But just yesterday actually, as of us recording this episode, I found, or I guess, Aki found,

that somebody is adapting, killing stalking. You mean, it's not an official. This thing's the biggest quote marks ever. Adapting, killing stalking. You mean, it's not an official anime adaptation like everyone on Twitter thinks it is? Oh, okay. It was like, the problem was

is the original Twitter post that blew this up, said an official adaptation of, and then in the replies to that tweet, they doubled down saying it, yeah, it was all official, but the thing that caught my eye is the picture that everyone was retweeting. Right, three pictures of this tweet. One of them was like, chaos ups,

I'm like, what the fuck is a chaos up? Yeah, yeah. What the fuck? Yeah, so like, because Aki found that on a timeline and was like, holy shit, they're making a killing stalking anime adaptation. I'm like, really, let me see.

And I saw the pictures, I'm like, the first two, look legit, yeah, they look. And it was like coming soon, 2020. I was like, oh shit, okay. And then I looked at the last one and it was like, Kops Up Studio. I'm like, yeah, yeah, right? Who?

Like, who the fuck? What is the studio? I legitimately had to look it up on Wikipedia being like, maybe it's just one of, because, you know, recently there's been so many fucking Japanese anime studio that just come out with like ridiculous so I'm like, oh, it's probably just one of those.

Exactly. I looked it up and I'm like, nope, it's literally just one dude. It's one dude. But I feel bad for whoever's making this because like my god, the amount of hype they just got thrusted on them and everyone's assuming this is like legit. Yeah, I mean, how did the hype just happen?

Did they just- It's literally just the tweet. Just the tweet, yeah. The original tweet I think as of us recording, I think it has like 40,000 likes and like 20,000 retweets or something. Wow. Because killing stalking fans are ruthless. They are ruthlessly dedicated.

And also the thing was, I saw in Laura in the replies is that people weren't questioning whether like it was legit. People were just questioning should it get an adaptation? And that was the main argument. I think that's why it was getting so many.

Do you guys think you should get an adaptation? I mean, let me answer, let me change the question. Have you guys read it? I've read the first, like, what is it? Like, because it came out in like stories, right? It's like seasons? Yeah, I watched, I read the first season. And I quite liked it and, you know, it's a lot.

But I feel like, from what I've heard as well, it handles it quite well towards the end. Yeah, I've, uh, I did a, video on it, I actually looked back on when I did my video of it. It was four years ago. Oh, holy shit. Was it that long ago? Yeah.

I remember you releasing that like yesterday, it doesn't seem like yesterday. Yeah, I thought it was only like maybe like a year or two ago. Yeah, yeah. It was four years ago and that's because I only reviewed the first season because I think the series ended like, I think it was like last year. Yeah, like over a year ago, but there was like a huge gap, right? So I've only really seen or read like the first half of it.

And it was marketed as like, oh, it's a really hardcore like gruesome Yowie. So, you know, all these fan girls getting on it. And I was like, okay, I mean, I don't know if I'm gonna enjoy it as much because I'm not exactly the target demographic, but I'll give it a go. And it was like a genuinely good story.

Like yeah, it had YOWY elements in it, but you know, I'm an adult, I can handle that, right? Yeah, yeah, exactly. Other than that, if you take away the Yowie elements, it's just a really, really good horror mystery. But when I saw that they were gonna make a quote-unquote anime adaptation for it, I was like, I don't, I don't,

because immediately what I thought of is all of these other like over-sexualized series getting anime adaptations recently, right? Because as someone who hasn't read it, seems like it's a very sexual story that would have to be heavily censored. It is hardcore. It's like, as well, I think it also has such,

like it's divided a lot of the community because I think a lot of people really sexualize it when it's just a really fucked up dynamic. Yeah. And a lot of, I mean, a lot of, a really deep shit of like possessiveness and all that, but if you're thinking about reading it, it's a lot, like it is hard.

Yeah, go into it with caution, definitely. Definitely be over the age of 18. We have to legally say that. I mean, I think you should read it, but then also like, I can totally recommend you not to read it. Like, it's, your life would be totally fine if you don't read it. Yeah.

Maybe I'll, I'll, watch the anime instead and make, get my opinion there. Talking about the anime, like I said earlier, I feel bad for this person because a lot of people are putting a lot of hype on it, but also what I saw, it's a one man job. Like this guy's doing everything

and I don't know if it's a guy or a girl, but they seem to be in charge of, they seem to be 3D modelers, I think, that's what that trade is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I saw the voice acting casting call and is someone who's, you know, done a lot of voice acting casting calls,

I've made my own, I've worked with a lot of professional ones, like it is, Not normal, I'd say. I don't wanna be mean to them. What do you mean? I don't wanna be mean because I don't think they're like that experience

and I think other voice actors are helping them with it. But first of all, normally you don't name who's got in what role publicly. So on this casting call document which I think we maybe show on screen for a second. It says like one person who has the role and it's showing publicly.

That's not normally the case. Normally it's just here with the lines, audition for it and whatnot. Yeah. And the way it's laid out is really odd and it's just over, I mean over Twitter isn't that weird, but there's no mention of pay or anything. Like, I guess, I mean, it is a fan-made project,

but normally still you say if it's paid or not. Yeah. You normally say how, you know, how many lines are they gonna be. It just, I don't know, it looks like it belongs on like casting call club, which is an amateur voice acting website. Yeah. Which makes me uneasy, because if it is gonna be a USB microphone kind of deal,

it's not gonna sound good, because there was no, there was no, hey, here's the minimum requirements, you need a sound treated room, there was nothing, it was just, if you wanna audition. And I saw the replies to this thread, and it was like all 13 year old sounding girls auditioning.

Yeah, but that's because the main fucking readership of Keele and stalking are 13 year old girls, even though it shouldn't be. From purely based on context, it should not be. It's just worrying with these kind of things as well, because normally, like when I've done plus 18 projects, I normally ask for proof of ID, when if I cast someone, like they need to show me their idea.

And this should definitely be one of the situations where like those precautions should be taken, even if it's fan made, right? Like, yeah. Not a good luck for you if you're getting 13 old girls to voice in your thing about like, you know, it's some pretty fucked up shit. I mean, it's still very early days.

I mean, it's, from what it sounds like, it sounds like a situation where someone just made the- Too much press. Got way too much press, way too quickly because I have no doubt that they probably have no fucking experience. Because I saw on their Twitter,

actually just this morning that they tweeted out being like, oh my God, after someone retweeted my thing, I've gained like 10,000 Twitter followers in like overnight. And like, you know, this person obviously like came from like pretty much close to zero followers. So for them, that's a lot. Yeah. That's a lot of like pressure just immediately built up on them.

Yeah. Because you're going after such like, I don't want to say iconic, but like a very like, very, very dedicated series. I think it's not just that as well. because I think what really built up the hype as well is we're in like this environment now where webtoons anime are being major so it wouldn't be it wouldn't have been so surprising

to say killing stalking is getting an anime as opposed to like last year or even two years ago where you know we didn't have any precedence for that but now with Tower of God airing and god of high school and noblesse all getting animas it's like maybe we're in a new era where where people are expecting that their favorite web tunes or their favorite web comics from whatever country could get anime adaptations. Yeah, true, true. I mean, to be fair, I wouldn't be against the idea

of it actually getting an official adaptation. Well, killing stalking. Yeah, I think it could be, definitely make waves. I mean, it would make sense considering that recently there's been like a big trend of like, as I said earlier, like over-sexualized series. Like we've got a Schumat-Naharan getting out of adaptation. Yeah, my fucking God, how are they gonna handle that?

How are they gonna handle that? Because there is legitimately a sex scene every three pages. Like I'm not even kidding. So I don't know anything about this manga. So wait, what is it called? Okay, it's called Schumatsna Haram. Or Worlds End Haram.

World End Haram. And basically, the overall plot, I'm oversimplifying this, but basically. It's a Hent-type plot. Humanity has gone to shit where there is a disease that is killing all males. It's only affecting males. So basically now-

You can tell where this is going. You know where this is going. It's a hentai point. It's a hentai point. So basically males now are becoming like a commodity. They're basically being treated like, males that have like survived this disease are basically like treated as like national treasures.

Let me guess right. First of all, the difference between this and hentai, right? Is that if it was a hentai, it'd be an ugly bastard. And I guess it's like a handsome young guy. It's like several handsome young guy. Okay, well that's how it happens. If it's an ugly bastard, it's a hentai. Pretty much.

But like the dynamic, see this is where a difference from a hentai though, is that our main character has like this girl that he's been thinking about his whole life. And basically like doesn't wanna just go around and like just, screw, yeah, sex everyone in order to save him out. He'd rather keep his like purity for the goal that he'd been thinking of.

So it's a Christian. So it's a Christian, so it's about waiting for the right person. It's basically Blue Ball, the the manga. Because everyone else, all five other guys, having a fucking great story. They're fucking different chicks every fucking day. Yeah, they're pretty much, they're pretty much like

what hentai protagonist should be. I'm not being sold on this, but saying that, I wasn't sold in interspecies reviewers until I watched it and I thought, this is pretty funny. It's not gonna be as good as in species. Oh no, it won't be. Interspecies reviewers is like a really weird case

because it was something that was definitely, definitely etchy in the manga, in the manga. In the anime, they just made it porn. Yeah. But I still like, I, I, I, I still, I don't know, interspecies reviewers, to me, is that line between hentai and etchy, because you don't watch interspecies reviewers to jack off, right?

No, yeah. But it's undeniable that there is just a straight up sex scene in it. Which is really interesting, though, because the one sex scene that everyone was raving on about in the anime, I think it was episode four, I believe, three. Episode three was never in the manga. No, it wasn't. It was implied.

All sex scenes of that series is implied in the manga, but in the anime that was just like, yeah, fuck it, let's just show it. Yeah, like, to put things in perspective. You didn't even see nipple in the manga. No, that was like how- Actually, no, that's a lie.

Really? Yeah, you did see nipple. Oh, okay. Joey knows. I know all, I own all the volumes. You seen this man's Twitter? He knows a nipple when he sees her. I own all the volumes and I've enjoyed every single one. Can we talk about your Twitter in a bit?

Can we please talk about Joe's still? I want to talk about my Twitter. By the way, follow me on Twitter guys, at the anime man with a one. It would make a great clip is what I mean. Can you please explain your Twitter? And okay, first of all. What do you mean explain my Twitter?

Whenever I go on Twitter, right? I don't follow hentai artists on Twitter because I don't need to. Because this man's got me cover. Because as you know on Twitter, when you like, when you like a picture, there's a good chance for some reason, especially Joey's, of specifically,

it comes on my Twitter. And I must get at least every time I open Twitter, six or seven like either like full on sex things or like very, very lewd. It's always Joey. It's like, I'm like, I don't follow porn. Oh, it's liked by Joey Bissinger. And it's like, how did you get to this point?

Okay, here's what I don't understand, right? Like, how many people do you follow on Twitter? Like on average. I think I have 600, something? Yeah, about that many. Okay, right? You both follow about over 500 people. Yeah.

And like this isn't just you too. Like I've had this from like, mutual friends of mine. Everyone says it's you. How is it that my likes end up on everybody's timeline? Am I on like Twitter preferred? Like what? I have no fucking clue, but it is,

I'd say 70 to 80% of the time I see ludes on my timeline. It is you, it is straight up you. Because first of all, you're welcome. Okay, because this didn't used to be the case. And I swear you were way more timid about it. How do it, because I'm scared of doing that, I don't know, because I mean, I shouldn't really, because I basically get half naked in some of my videos,

but I don't know, I guess I was worried about, like, just having porn on my thing, but now I guess I can get away with it, but. How did you go from not sharing porn to basically just, to being the hentai man? I've always shared it, that's the thing. Have you? Yeah. I swear you didn't. I mean, maybe not as frequently.

No, no, no, because- Now, I swear now you're seeking it. I think it was just Twitter changing the like button to be basically the retweet button. Yeah, pretty much. Yeah, that's exactly what it is. Because for the entirety that I've been on Twitter, I've liked hentai.

Because I've followed hentai out, like hentai out of as I like or like antithis I've discovered, but I've never retweeted it because of this exact reason. I don't want other people's timelines to be filled with hentai. But Twitter was just like, hey, let's just like make the like like a beta retweet button.

I gotta ask how much of your feed is just hentai? That's what I asked. I asked to see his, phone. Do you want to see it now? It's not, it wasn't that bad when I first saw it. Right. I mean, the thing is I don't follow that many anti artists. Yeah. I know that's hard to believe. But I genuinely don't. The thing is I follow a anti artist that love retweeting other handtweeting other hand artists. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And that's where I find all the people. Okay, here. Scroll, scroll through his Twitter. Why don't you scroll down

my Twitter? Let's see. Let's see how many, how many come up? Oh, there we go. One, one, one in three. Can you also like everyone that abuse? Yeah, could we go to his likes from when this is from. Oh yeah, yeah, go to my likes. Go to my likes. All right, oh, there's another one. There's two in a row. Oh, wait, there's a Jimmy Neutron there,

that's not anti. Jimmy Neuton? Who am I following? Okay, that's basically. Okay, let me, while they're looking through the Twitter, let me defend myself real quick, okay? The reason why I like it is because at the end of the day, these are just drawings, right?

There's a difference between liking, like, actual human porn versus just a picture. This man's about to go to the hentai's art route. Isn't he? I am genuinely one of those people who looks at hentai as art. No, I totally agree with you. Like, like such fucking degenerate. Shut the fuck out, man.

No, it's off. Shut them. I assure you. Listen, I'm talking on behalf of every hentai lover watching this episode, including you. I like hentai. I don't know if I look at it and like just crack open a beer and just enjoy.

No, no, I've gone to that point, right? to that point, right? I've gone to the point. You've seen my fucking room, you've seen my fucking office, which is just like full of like anime thighs and stuff like that. Because it's gone to the point

where sometimes you just see this like drawing of a girl or a thigh or something and I just don't even get horny anymore. I'm just like, I'm just fucking impressed at how good they make it look. How good they make it look. Yeah, that was me when I saw

the Meli Odessa and Seven Deadly Deadly. Because they're genuinely like some anti-artists that I've seen and I know of where I'm just like, if you made an all ages manga, you would sell like crazy. Oh no, and people have. And people have like,

look at like Nanashi who made, fucking I'm gonnaeanay de Nagatoro-san. Yeah, yeah, I love that. Yeah, I'm sure. I'm sure. I know, I'll put up a picture of it, okay. Everyone has seen this chick before, all right? Okay, okay.

Nanishi was originally like a hardcore lowly anti artist. Oh wow. And he made a really fucking successful all-ages comedy manga, which is hilarious. Yeah. And even if they don't make all-age's stuff, look at artists like Napata, who is like genuinely an amazing artist.

Yeah. And that's what I were like, because, you know, we've gotten to this point where hentai has just become like, ha-ha, anime boobs, hilarious and horny on me. Like, it's all just become like a joke thing. I don't want that anymore.

I don't want that. I'm sick of those jokes. I'm like, I wanna save this topic because I want this to be a whole episode. I'm, I wanna dedicate a whole episode. I am ready, I have too many things to say about hentai and hentai artists that I can't fit it all in like five minutes.

Smash like on this episode if you want a hentai episode because we're gonna do it either way. We're gonna do it anyway. You give these guys like three sips of beer and they just start talking about hentai. I shouldn't have had a strong zes. It's strong. This shit's strong.

I just, I don't know. Like when I watch hentai, it's like, It's for a service, you know? I guess I do it to do, I do the deed, right? Like I don't sit there and like swirl my wine glass and thing like, am I weird, am I, okay, I wanna know. Yes, it's probably the answer to this question. No, no, hold on, sure.

Am I weird to be like, sometimes I kind of just wanna watch hand-tied just doing it? Yes, that's totally. Yeah, that's fucking weird. Come on, he's probably going through that phase right now. No, no, no, no, no, no. I don't, I, I, Hentai to me hasn't got to that point.

Right. Dijinghi and manga. has definitely gone to that point. Doji right? See, this is why I love it. There is no part of me in a porn where like I watch a porn and I don't immediately skip to two minutes in.

You are the degenerates here, motherfucker. There is a no. I've bought a lot of Dojinchi from like artists I like. Yeah. I don't think I've actually read like physical copies of Dojishi and like jacked off to it. I know that's TMI, I'm sorry, but. I will recommend you some shit. Okay, wow.

I'll come on in three. Have you seen my Twitter lights? In like four episodes, I'll come back on, I'll be like totally agree with everything, everything these guys say. I don't know, I just. I'm looking forward to like your like progression from like, oh, what the fuck to like,

you know what, I love this artist. Yeah, because it's, if you've read enough Dijinghi and if you've read enough like H-Manga, there are so many Dijinchis that just have really, really good plots. Yeah. And, and it's, it's. Sips beer, I do agree, I must say, It's gotten to this point where sometimes you just want these series

to be adapted into a hentai, just so you can see it animated. And sometimes you read these series that just do something new with porn or hentai that you just have never seen before. And you're like, wow, this is like awakening something in me right now. This is amazing. Yeah. No, I'm serious.

I've never heard someone describe, I've watched hentai and it awakened something. How have you not? There were some Dojeeches that I've read where like at first I was like, okay, I dig this art and then I see like the etchy scenes and I'm like, okay, I'm digging this.

Like, you know, I have like a quarter child maybe. But then as the story continues, I'm like, you know what? Fuck the etchy scenes. I think I started the podcast of the wrong boys here. Question to you and question to all of you watching, why do you think thigh highs are sexy? And if the answer isn't anime,

an anime awakened your love for thigh highs, your fucking lie. It did, it did. Because let's be real, Japanese girls don't have thighs. No, that's true. Yeah. So like, if you just think, if you, thigh highs is like entry level, right? In the world of Dijingis and H manga,

that's like some normy shit, man. We've gone to that point where thigh highs are normy as fuck. Maybe in future we can return to this topic when I've, you know, done my research. Yeah, we'll come back to this. We're gonna come back to this. Don't worry, don't worry. So we're getting ahead of ourselves right now.

Okay, like this, this, As an understatement. This was meant to be an introductory episode when we introduced what we're gonna be doing. If you don't like these topics, I'm sorry. It won't always be hentai, by the way. I can just preface that. But I think, I mean, the main reason we started this as well

is because we always hang out together. Like it's not one of those things, like some YouTubers hang out, they make videos. Seems like their friendship's great. We all actually hang out together all the fucking time. And we always talk for like two hours straight. What you're looking at is essentially what we do on a daily.

Yeah. We easily have conversations where we just talk for like three hours about manga and anime. We're like, why don't we just fucking- Not even about manga anime. Anything, anything. I remember the last time we were at your house and we talked about like, what was the best burger joint?

Do you remember that? We like legitimately like hardcore argue about like is in and out overrated or not for like 40 minutes. It's not, by the way. It is. Okay, we're not gonna get into that. Okay, whatever. But I suppose, I guess that's,

we're gonna be talking about like anything and it's gonna evolve over the time. I mean the core of it is anime and manga. I mean I have a lot of things about anime and manga that I wanna talk about but I also wanna talk about the culture, the community, hentai, more hentai, I guess. Yeah and I mean I'm also like just general

because we're all we're YouTubers we wanna talk about sometimes if there's YouTube drama that we feel like we can probably add something too, like of course. Well you know sometimes if there's just like standard banter of just like whatever the fuck then yeah we'll talk about it. And if any of our mutuals are ever in Like if you wanna talk anime and manga with us, hit us up. Yeah, absolutely.

And not even just our mutuals, like if you wanna like come onto the show and like talk, first of all, you gotta come onto the show physically, sit right here next to me and talk about it. Because we wanna, ideally this will be a four person podcast and hopefully, I mean, I'd be really interested in to bring YouTubers on who don't really get to talk about anime. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, and just hear their side.

I guess, yeah, I mean, if there are any YouTubers watching this video, or the tweet or whatever, then I guess let us know if you'd like to come on to the podcast because we'll happily welcome whoever wants to come on. It's surprising. I've met so many YouTubers who have nothing to do with anime or anything.

Who watch anime. Who watch anime and just really want to talk about anime to someone. I think it's pretty awesome because I remember anime was nowhere near this popular before. And I remember the feeling of being the only anime fan and having nothing, no one to talk about. I mean, I think that's why I started my YouTube channel. That was like my reasoning is that I had no one

to talk to this about. Let's just say like kids today have it fucking easy. Like if you're an anime fan like today in high school, you have it so much easier than any of us did. My God, I wish I, I'm so jealous because I wish I could have just talked to my fucking friends about Naruto or bleach or One Piece or something. I had to convince my friends to get into anime.

In order for them, in order to find someone to talk about anime. See, this is like another thing that I, When I talk to Americans, they don't have this problem. At least in my age group, I imagine yours as well, right? Yeah. It's like weird, Americans had it good. But British people, and I think probably Australian people are more closer to British, like,

people fucking ruthless at school. Oh yeah, no, definitely. And I remember I got shit for gaming too much in school. So how the fuck am I gonna sit there? Like, I never had that. I got shit for gaming too much in school. So how am I gonna sit there and be like, all right, so Call of Duty, that thing that you play,

but give me shit for, how about you check out these anime titties, right? Like, how do I, I, I, I, I, I built up years getting to like a medium level of like, in between a level of popularity. Yeah, never popular, but I got out of the bullying zone, if you will. Didn't wanna go back in there. It's really crazy just how like,

I don't wanna say mainstream anime is called. It's not mainstream, yes. It's not mainstream at all, but like I guess just how much more accepted it's become as a sub-culture. It's getting there, it's getting there. It definitely is because I feel like anime works so well with meme culture. Oh my, I mean.

You know what I mean? Yeah. Anime in a sense is meme culture in a lot of ways. I mean, Big fly in a room when you mentioned meme culture and anime. You all know what we're talking about. Yeah. But I feel like because of that,

it's a lot more people know what anime is, or at least have seen a meme or a screenshot or a gift of probably Jojo. Yeah. It's usually where they start. That's usually what happens. And as it should be. It's the only anime that matters.

Yeah. And then people would just recognize it a lot more. Because I remember when I was growing up, people didn't even know what anime was. Yeah. The words anime, they're like, what the fuck is this shit? Yeah, that's some cartoon porn shit, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

It's weird because I think one of the biggest, like, double-edged swords to anime has been Netflix. Like, in the sense that, like, it's got a lot of people into anime. Yeah. But then when you get really into anime, it becomes like the fucking worst place to get. Oh, yeah. I mean, we're definitely gonna talk about, like, Netflix.

But I think Netflix has also helped a lot, because I mean, they've been pushing, like, I remember, like, when they start I'm getting anime like Death Noot would not get off my fucking recommended on Netflix. Really? Yeah, yeah. And like Full Metal Archmas Brotherhood, I think they have that.

I think they have like all the classics, which is pretty impressive. Yeah, yeah. I mean they have all the entry level. Right, the stuff that you like need to watch. And now they have even Galleon as well. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Which is crazy that they got that.

Like that's just, I can't imagine how much money Netflix threw at Arno to be like, hey, can we grab your series that has been pretty much out of print for like 20 plus years. Yeah, I wanna hear the story about how they got that because people have tried for decades,

literally decades, to get the, after ADV died, to get the licensing over to the West. So that must be a- I remember when I heard that- Lots and lots of money. I remember when I heard the news of that, like I actually couldn't believe it. It was like, this is like one of the biggest achievements

because it is like, like, you know, without, you know, wrapping it up in a package nicely, like, Evangelion is one of the biggest anime, like, ever made. and like, Arno, we all know Arno is like hardcore when it comes to protecting his IP. Oh my God. Because remember for the longest time,

Hollywood wanted to make that Ava adaptation. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And Arno was just like, hell no, fuck off then. He did us a solid, he did as a solid. Yeah, yeah, he really saved our ass from that. There are so many fucking live action adaptations being made right now. I can't even keep track of them all.

Remember when there was just one and everyone would just wait to shit on that one? Oh yeah. I think there's like over 10 adaptations being made right now. We need to do an episode or we do like a tier list of the worst Netflix adaptations. We need to do a tier list of the worst live action. Oh God, yeah.

So anyways, guys, like look forward to all of that stuff. Yeah, this was just a taster. We didn't really plan much of what we were gonna say here. As you can see, we're just talking out of our ass. We were just talking about, there wasn't a topic plan and we just kind of evolved. Yeah. The only topic we talked about was killing stalking,

which lasts five minutes. There'll be a lot more structure in future when we get a bit more used to it as well when we have more topics to talk about because right now, we do want to cover, I think it would make it really interesting for you, the audience from, you know, you hear our opinions pretty early on

about things that are like evolving situations. Yeah. Also, if you want to hear anything or if you want to request anything that you want to hear us talk about, you can tweet at us. Yes, at Trash TastePod. Go on to Twitter and give us your suggestions.

If you guys would also like to ask like any questions like Q&A and stuff like that. Yeah, we'll probably have a Q&A section. And then we'll probably grab some questions off of Twitter as well. Basically, if you'd like to interact with us in any way for future episodes, then definitely follow us on Twitter.

Yeah. And also, yeah, just subscribe. I don't wanna be that guy to be like, subscribe, like the like button. Smash that motherfucking like button, fam. But if you do, then that would greatly help us out and be greatly appreciated. Yeah, as you can see, We're still in like, I'd say like beta right now,

the beta stage of this podcast. Yeah. We're gonna be, we're gonna be filling up the background and everything, don't worry about that. If you found this episode and enjoyed it before we've even pushed it on our main channels, thank you, that's pretty cool.

Yeah, thank you. Really appreciate it guys. Yeah, I think that's a good place to end it for now. Yeah, we're gonna be uploading at least one a week and we have a highlight channel as well coming out. So yeah, you can expect at least one of these a week. Yeah, but look forward to that guys. Thanks for watching.

I've been Joey, I've been Gant. Connor or Sea Dog Virginia. Giguk, Gik UK, the Anna Mood Man. And we appreciate you guys for sticking around this first episode and we hope to see you guys in the next one. Nice. Bye bye bye.
