Welcome back to another episode of Trash Taste. I'm Connor once again joined by the boys. Jerry and Garns. Did you say episode? Episodes. Episode. Episode of Trash Taste. It's one of those days where we all said,

yeah, we're ready, and then you started talking, and I'm like, wait. Oh yeah, I just said, yes, we're recording now. Sorry, it's, this is the first recording after the New Year's. My brain- She really looked dead, come. I think I look dead too. This is not going to be coming out just after the New Year, so it's going to be a little bit delayed, but this is, but this is for the record.

I've just time gated this episode. Gant, you should be excited because we're talking about your favorite thing on the planet. Genshin impact, dude. No, shut the fuck up. We're talking about that, the other thing. What's the-

Talking about your favorite thing you mean, Joey? No. We're talking about anime. Okay. It's our monthly or bi-monthly anime episode and we're gonna be doing another three by three, but we're not just gonna be doing a regular three-by-three because we've done that before in the past,

Instead, we're gonna be judging other people's three by threes. More specifically, we asked a bunch of our guests, our previous guests on Trash Tastes, to send in their anime three by threes, and we're gonna be judging their good or bad tastes in anime. We didn't get everybody's two by three. Because some of them guests haven't watched anime. No.

Yep. And some that have haven't watched enough anime, like Pete and Chris. So the people that we have, or the guests that have submitted their three-by-threes are, Charlie died as Emily, Cahoe, Kevin, Mooden, Chindo, L, Sydney, and I guess a laser beam is also included.

Okay. This should be interesting. I always like three by threes because you can normally get a gauge of someone's personality and taste just by seeing like a view of their three by three. So I think it'll be a fun game before we're revealed who the three by three that we're judging is,

that we have a guess of who that person is based on our, like get a quick personality. Yeah, get a piece. I'm just so tired that you explained it in a way this sounded more confusing than it was. You're like, I'm gonna guess. We're gonna guess the guest. We're gonna guess the guest.

We're gonna have a list. We're gonna pop one up and we're gonna try and have a gap, you know, try and gauge who it might be. Yeah. That's what I just said, Connor. I know, I'm saying it more excited, Guy. You both explained it like shit. What? You explain it then, Joey.

Yeah, you explain it out of them. Okay, here's how it's gonna work, ladies and gentlemen. Listen carefully, okay? We're gonna be shown a three by three. We don't know who it is. It is. And before we start talking about each individual one, we're gonna take a quick look at it and go,

hey, that seems like this person's three by three. We're gonna each have a guess. If we're right, then call. If you get it wrong, you don't know the guests. Yeah, then we don't know the guests and we've just shamed all of their family. All right, well, let's pull one up, shall we? Fuck, that's why he's the anime man.

That is why he's the anime man. All right, so give us our first three by three. Okay. Okay, so. What the fuck is. We've got, okay, it's over here now. Okay, so we've got Klanad, Or Clan it AfterStory.

Is that Gundam Seed? Gundam Seed. Is that Gundam Seed? I really hope it's not Gundam Seed. We have Princess Mononoke. We have Rama Half. We have Oriimo. God, did you make this?

We are welcome to the NHK. We have Naruto, potentially Shipoudan. We have Hajima Ipo and we have Yu Huksha. Oh, this is tough. Who the fuck would make this list? Can you pull up the name again? Okay, okay. There is one big like indicator here,

even without looking on the game. Yes names. Are you but sorry? Absolutely. Like absolutely 100% this person grew up in the same year. Like, well, what do you think? Absolutely 100% this person grew up in the same era as myself.

Yeah. Because there is no fucking way someone will put Gundam seed on their list if it wasn't the very first Gundam and maybe the only Gundam that they've watched. You know, that's, if you've seen any other Gundam, you would not put seed on here. That's what I'm saying. And no, like, nobody else would put it

unless it's like the first Gundam you put on there. Yeah, it wasn't, I think Gundam Seed, when it was airing on Cartoon Network or something, I don't know where it aired. It was like the most popular show on the entire network in the West. I think I actually might know who this is, because from the list we've been given, there is only one person I know that would have the balls

to put seed on here and also has openly explained how much they love Klanad and Oriimo. Don't? No. I think it's Ditis. It would make a lot of sense. He does love Hatt. He loves Klanad, he loves Hajima, he loves Oriimo,

and he would put C-Saint-Ira-Hippo. Yeah. I've never heard him talk about Hachemino Hippo before. And I think he's mentioned Ramaheuf before. Yeah. So I reckon this is Ditis. I see the degeneracy, like I know a fellow brother when I see one, and then someone,

like put Orimo right slap bank in the center as I would have done and I think I did do actually. See, I can already see it, right? Like Ditis is like, you know, he's listing off like the obvious ones that immediately come to his head like Orimo and like Princess Mononoke, Hajie, you know, Klanah, stuff like that. Yeah. And his attempt to seem cultured

is him putting welcome to the Enishke. You know what I mean? He's like, no, no, no, I actually, it's not all the mainstream stuff I love. I also watch other ones. like welcome to the NHK, but he also forgets welcome to the NHK 's mega horny as well,

which is also very dietic. Is this diatus? Yes! We know our friends. Rang you like a book. He does. I don't know anyone in this day and age who still references Naruto

as much as him. I don't know anyone else who references. He just always says something Naruto. Yeah, but is that anything like special? I don't know. I feel like a lot of people reference Naruto. I feel like narrative references becoming less common, Gant.

Yeah, now that Jujica-Kaysen. Yeah, as I'm saying, like, it's, I'm sure this is how like, I don't know, this is pretty some older equivalent involved here. Mm-hmm, that's true. I feel like he springs up narrator more than anyone else, or any normal amount, any allowed amount should be, it should be brought up.

That is true. That is true. Um, one thing that surprises me being on here, I'm really hoping you have seen more Gundams or this is, I'm just, I'm just not, I'm not gonna let this go. So I don't know what's so bad about Gundam Seed. Can you explain to me why Gundam Seed is bad and what even it is?

Well, it's a Gundam for one. Okay, great. It was just, I don't know, like, have you seen any Gundam? Nope. Hmm. Well, there's probably a fair amount of view of watching. You haven't seen any Gundams.

Okay, so when most people bring up what their favorite gondoms are, and I'm talking like the kind of older, the first half of the Gundam franchise, right? A lot of people bring up like wings, A lot of people bringing up double zero is a very common one. Seed, like, I don't know. How do you, I'm trying to figure out the words to describe

why Seed is questionable. It's hard. It's not hard, it's just the writing quality fucking jumped off of a cliff especially in the second season. It's that one Gundam that's got mega, mega popular. I mean, you mentioned Wing and Double O. I don't think any of them hold a candle to how popular seed got back in the day.

Yeah. And it was one of those Gundams that you look at the entire history of Gundam, right? You look at this entire franchise with how many shows there are. And then it's this one that gained the mega mainstream popularity and it's just confusing because- Probably right place, right time.

Maybe. It's the sort of online equivalent, you know? Holy shit. That is actually, oh my God, that is actually the perfect analogy. It's the seed is to the Mecca franchise as Sword Art was to the Issaquai franchise, where it was just right place at the right time, mega, mega popular, but not the best riding at in any stretch of the mean. Yeah, and you watch Gundam Seed, and that might be your introduction to Gundam,

and then you watch any other Gundam, and you're like, oh, this is shit. Yeah. And this is like, or you watch even like any other Mecca show, and you realize how... I don't remember... What is Gundam Seed out of 10 on a scale if you had to give it a rating? Like a five for me?

I like five, six. It's pretty brutal. Especially after the second season. There's more coffee, I need more coffee. Do we have a reason why he... Did he say why he chose the things he chose? He didn't give any reasons. Some of us have given reasons as to why he has it.

I do know for a fact that Didas always talks about how much he loves romance. and slice of life shows. Yeah. Yeah. And so I'm assuming that's why Klanad AfterStory's on here. Oh, he loves, like, if you wanna, if you wanna meet someone who loves Klanad more than I do,

it's Didas. Like, Didas fucking loves Klanad, which is based. Yeah. He also loves Oriima as well, which is not based. My, I like, Didas is like a fucking brother to me, man. Every time I watch a trashy romance show, I know he's like, I message him, and he's always into the same shit, you know? Yeah, yeah.

We both fucking love Oriamo. he gets the masterpiece that is domestic girlfriend as well. He understands that shit. Well, Dytus just likes car crashes. Yeah, that's the thing. When I talk to Ditis about shows, he often, one thing that he always makes very apparent

is that if he feels like he can predict what's going to happen, he's not interested. Right. Yeah, yeah. And I guess the reason why he likes our email and perhaps maybe domestic girlfriend is that there's such car crashes that he doesn't know where it's going. Yeah.

That is true. And to me, that is an interesting. indication of a show that's good. There's an indication of shirt that's just trying to subvert expectations. Sure. I wouldn't, of course, if you're gonna fuck your brother, that's pretty, that's a good way to subvers it.

I wouldn't say so, okay? Let me, let me defend the fucking trashy romance genre, okay? Because I'm, I'm addicted to the show. Okay, actually, you know what, you know what, did in the Christmas holiday? Yeah. I don't know if you would be, you know, if you know what this is, Joe.

I watch White Album 2. You watch White Album 2? For the first time. I fucking know it. I just say, okay. My question is you could have watched anything else. And you watched White Album 2? Because it was the one fucking car crash romance that I just did not watch.

What the fuck is White Album 2? Imagine school days but without... In 2000s... Imagine school days, but without the murdering. And it's about that... I actually think it's on the same level of school days in terms of like the pure fucking shitty reaction and the car crash of an ending that you got.

There's like, look at this, this screams like mid-2000s trashy romance. It was originally an Aroge, I think, or at least a visual novel. Probably an Aro-Gay. Probably an Aro-Gay from the mid-2000s got mega, mega popular in the Dojin world. Yeah. And then when the anime came out, I watched it when it came out and I, you know, I'd forgotten about it until you brought it up. That ending?

And I'm really glad, I'm really hoping you didn't bring it up. This was, this was an ending where they set up a, they set up like a love-tri- I fucking love this shit. They set up Love Triangle and then the author just sets everything on fire. And I fucking love that shit, man. That's, you just described a mid-2000s-deges. Huh? Sounds stressful.

I mean, okay, maybe, maybe it's because I'm in a, you know, happy relationship that this is like, I, to feel something anymore, I need this kind of romance. I need this kind of story in my life, man, because like, my real life, I'm like, okay. It's too solid. your real life. You need some fucking, I need some spice up in there, man. The imagination. Don't's gonna get to the point where the only thing

that'll like get his socks rocking is just playing the most egregious arrogance out there for the 2000s, because all of them are like that. No, but I've always liked, you know, car crash kind of romances just because it gives you an emotional response, like you are, you know, like it's kind of like drama YouTube, you know,

except no one's getting hurt. It's like, no one's, actually doing something outrageous. It's all in a place of fantasy and fiction. Sure, that makes sense, but again, over the Christmas holidays, you could have watched literally anything. Bro, I had a great time, man.

I got fucking plastered and I watched White Album with Sydney and we fucking shouted at the screen for all the characters were doing, and it was a great fucking time. This is the Weeb equivalent to watching sports, bro. No, no, this is the weep equivalent to watching Ninety Fiancee. I'm being like, yo, they did what, no.

She said what? Yo, she slept with him? Wait, wait, this bitch, this bitch came back and see she thinks that she can take over again? Ain't no way, no, it's a great time. Sounds like horrible time. One that I am kind of. How is just that you were defending or emo?

Yeah, yeah. So, Aramo is just that. The ending to Aramo is just one of like, seeing the react. to the internet to the ending of Oromo was one of the most funnest, like weekends I've had in my life. Just seeing the internet meltdown.

That was me with school days, bro. That was me with school days. Wait, what? Yeah, we're seeing the ending to school days and then just Japanese internet just being like, what the fuck did I just fucking watch. See, with school days, I didn't, I guess I was like on forums

and on social media less. I was on Tuchan. Oh, you're on Tuchan? Tuchan were caught on flames that day. What was the reaction? I didn't like to laugh. Everyone was like, wait, so was this like an April Fool's joke? Like, did this actually, is this the actual, like, no,

that they're setting up for a final, final episode, right? Yeah. No, it wasn't and people got mad as fuck. But it was really weird, it was so egregious that half the internet with a stable mind was like, this is the worst fucking ending I've ever seen. And then the other half of Tuchan was like, that was an absolute masterpiece.

I have the question about Rima. Yes. I actually don't know what the first thing. fuck our Emo is about. All I know is that there's incest. That's only from you. I actually, I- Wait, have you never seen it?

No, because it has incest. I don't wanna watch that. Well, I mean, it's not the whole way, sir. Just a little bit. It's literally, okay, let me explain to you. Let me explain to you. Oh, she's a little bit of incest. Just a little bit.

All right, let me explain to you why the internet fucking broke down. Yes, explain to me. Because people don't fucking believe me when I say this, but it was a show that jabated all of us. it like pulled like a reverse Uno card because RMO in season one came out and it was a show called My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute, right?

And then everyone was meming on it because, ha ha, it's a fucking show called fucking My Little Sister Can't Be this cute, obvious incest bait and then you actually watch season one. And then people are like, wait, they're actually like acting like real brother and sister like actual siblings and it turns out to be like a pretty interesting look on Otaku and like Akihabara Colour

which are in Japan. Okay. Because this came out before there was this huge wave of, hey, this is like webe culture. Yeah. This is a look into Archaehabo culture. 2000, when was it, eight, nine? Something around that time.

And so it was a genuinely interesting and good show that people hadn't seen before with what at the time felt like a more realistic depiction of a brother and sister in anime. And then season two came out. And that, it kind of went, It turned into this kind of slice of life, look into a tautauku culture

into more of like a typical harum, best girl kind of like show where every girl around him falls for the main character. Okay. And then... Crono Nickel got robbed, bro. Yeah, yeah, exactly. And then they released the last three episodes

as an OVA, where, spoiler, he chose his sister after the first season where everyone's like, no, this ain't an incest show. They're like, kiss or something or. Yeah.

Oh, dude, that's only the beginning. What? They got married. That was the like end of the show. Yeah. They got like fake married. And then they broke up. Oh yeah.

Brother and sister. Because it was illegal. Yeah. And it was just, seeing the internet fucking go into flames because of the author just being like, ha ha, this isn't actually an incest show. Just, like, just joking.

Actually, it was incest the entire time. You guys fell for my reverse baits. It was just everyone broke down. The author is such a goddamn troll because then afterwards, he was just like, I'm gonna have to go in and made Aramanga Sensei. It's just round two. Yeah, the big difference between Orimo and Aramanga Sensei

is Eramanga Sensei just didn't even pretend. From episode one, it was like, Genuinely, there was a time when I thought, Oremot for like season one, genuinely, I think it's a good show. Ariranga Sensei, that was always, that was always in the trash, man, that was always. To give Oriimo the benefit of the doubt, it did, as Garn said, have a lot of interesting aspects to it

that was actually created a compelling story even for a harem anime. Yeah. But my problem with it is that it didn't follow through with that. Yeah, exactly. And the author was just like, Nah, I'm gonna make some DJ shit instead. What about this, do you think maybe was so compelling to Dytis?

Because obviously, Garne, this is a big show favorite of yours. What about it? Do you think it'd be so compelling to be in the top nine? To me, Orimo was the first show that I would say turned me into a weeb, I would say. Before Orimo, okay, here's what I'm here's, here's what I'm here. For what reason, gone. Okay, here's the difference. Before Orimo, right, I was, I went through this kind of like pretentious critic.

I have good taste kind of like, you know, everyone goes to that phase where they're like, oh, I went through the Mao Top 100, that's my taste. I like Legends of the Galactic Heroes. I like four of the classics. You just described me in 233. And then I'll watch Orimo and I'm like, huh, the first thing, I was, I went into this ready to shit on it. And the first season, I was like, wait a minute, this is enjoyable, but this goes against everything that I thought I enjoyed.

And I think for, I think because at the time, this was a very kind of like original take on it or a very new take on it. I think that was the first kind of like show for a lot of people in my generation. And I think people still gravitate to it even now because even though it came out in 2010,

there have been so many orimo clones that have come out since then that have tried to like replicate that feeling of the show to not that much success. because people just see right through it. In this day and age, Orimo doesn't stand out as much anymore because there's like a million different shows that revolve round.

But it does stand out in a sense because it, I would say out of all of the Oriomo clones and all the shows that kind of bit off Oriomo, or Emo, still does Oriimo best, if that makes sense. Yeah, because there was a point where it was genuinely, I think, a good show. Yeah. And then every, every show copied the second half

of the Yomo show. Welcome to the NHK, I hear a lot of people talk very positively about this. One of the shows that's been on my like, I'm sure I'm gonna watch this at some point That's a fantastic show. That is the anti-Ori-mo. Mega, mega depressing. Yeah, it also deals with otaku culture

except the fucking depressing side of shit. Well, yeah, from my understanding, I just seems about like a show who guy, a guy struggling with how to be normal. Yeah, it's kind of, Walk to the NHK, I think is one of the best anime that- Joey didn't want one.

Yeah, I didn't want one. Walk to the NHK is one of the best shows, in my opinion that tackles the idea of loneliness in Japan. Okay. Because, you know, as that's not- You're talking, so there's definitely gonna be on camera of God's spilling or something. Great.

But yeah, so like, yeah, as, as Gant said, like, you know, if the ideal Weeb world is the main character of Orimo, then the total opposite of that is the main character of Welcome to the NHK. Yeah. Where like him being ostracist, and him feeling lonely as a result of being an autarko and struggling to connect to people

through his hobbies and his interests is the entire philosophy of Welcome to the NHK. It's a bit more of a real take as opposed to the, or emo. This is just, uh, fuck my sister take. Yeah. This is just if BoJack Horseman was a weeb. That is, welcome to the NHK.

That's, okay, you sold me. Okay, you've sold me. It's, it kind of, yeah, deals with exactly the same thing. Is it as depressing as BoJack? It's fucking depressing. It's pretty depressing. Brojack is pretty depressing. Because it's, I mean, you know about Heikamori, right?

The main character is a Heikamori, and he, the entire show is him struggling to fucking not become a Heki Kikamori and actually become a member of society. And it sounds like a great show. Fucking hard. He just, it's brutal. Like, this was before, this came up before kind of like the whole mental health. Awareness was more of a thing now in this day and age.

And it's so weird. So see this coming out back in the day before that conversation was really as prevalent as it is now. It's very poignant even now. Yeah, and it still hits just as hard. And, you know. It's just so funny, just hearing the dichotomy routine, or emo and this.

You're like, yeah, yeah, fucks his sister. They're married. Yeah, yeah, it's not a bad thing. And you're like, so he's just trying to be a normal human being like, damn, that's tough. Yeah. I can really see. But like, it's like, fuck your sister.

to easy pill to swallow, function in a member of society. Fuck, that's tough, that's tough. Real shit. It's like, why are we at the world where these two shows are described in this? Dianus was really like double dipping into like the otaku world,

like both ends of the spectrum of like the wee world with these two shows. I am surprised with you, Huckshaw though. I've never heard him talk about you, Harkshire. Yeah, I've never heard him talk about it either. If I knew I would fucking geek out about you Huxhawe's him. Yeah. Solid choice, presumably. Very solid choice.

It's fantastic. It's literally Shonen and Weeb. One of the best 90 Shonen shows in my opinion. Yeah, I think the most important thing is that he also has Radma on here as well. Also good. So he's just, you know, dipping in all generations. He's got good taste.

Yeah, except for Gundam Seed. Except for Seed. I don't know why. Or about Naruto. I mean, Naroto's just Naroto, isn't it? It's probably just Shonan number one that you first follow, to I imagine. It's like whichever showin you follow first

for the longest time. See, I don't know. I'm looking at this and I'm like, was the first anime he ever watched Seed or was a Naruto? I don't think, does the first matter that much? It does, because it kind of sets up.

I watch Narrato first and I wouldn't put it out. And now you like Oriimo, so. I mean, there's a nostalgia cells gone for a reason. People tend to be very, even if they, it might not be their favorite, they tend to have a subconscious kind of,

kind of tie to the first real long share they watch. Right. Because Princess Mononokea was definitely his first. I don't know what's my first anime film. It's like a gritty film. It's like a... I mean it's one of my favorite jibble films. Yeah, it's one of my favorite as well.

Still haven't watched it. What? No, you never seen monaoka? I think you would enjoy it actually. You would really like it. It's more... It's more adult than something like Spirited Away. Spirited Away is a bit more...

Is that it trippy? Because Spirited Away is just fucking weird a lot of the time. Oh, Mononoke is trippy. Yeah, it's pretty trippy. Yeah. Trippy is shit. It's fantastic. Yeah. Those kind of films, it's like leaning forward

you have to watch because you're like, oh shit, okay, let me. Oh yeah. On or okay, in some scenes, it's just like, oh fuck, okay, they went there. Yeah, and then of course, Hajimaeo, considered one of the best sports anime of all time.

Oh, absolutely, it is amazing show. One day I will watch it, yeah, but it is long. It is long. You have not watch Hajimaipo? No, it's long. If I have, I've lied. I have said that I've watched it, I've lied.

You would love actually. Yeah. Every, every, any single time I see a clip from the show, it looks so goddamn cool. It's awesome. It seems fun. Some of the most, I think Hajimae Upo is some of the most hype you could get in anime,

just period. Like, when I think about the hype anime, what comes up at the top. It's something like, Giron Lagan, I think, is the ceiling of how hype a certain show can be. Hachima No Yippe was like a very, very close second there for me in terms of, of how hype I felt watching a scene, or just watching a piece of fiction. I've never had the adrenaline rush of some of the scenes that have happened

in Hajima Hippo. Have you seen you, Harkshire? I've seen one episode. One episode? Yeah, I think we spoke about this on a podcast where I tried watching it and I, I wasn't in the right frame of mind. It also starts off slow as well.

It's so slow. First episode, it's like, okay, he dies. Because Togashi didn't know which direction he wanted to take the story. So it actually started off as like kind of like a slice of life show. Until Togashi was like, all right, I'm gonna pull a Dragon Ball route

and just do an action show. Yeah. All right, but that was Dydis's list, which I think accurately represents everything I know about him. Yeah, that's very Ditis. So I'm not gonna calling up him out for lying. Yeah. So that definitely screamed his name.

Good job, Didis. Okay. All right, here's the next one. Jesus. Fuck. Chris right. I immediately know who this is. You do?

Yeah. I immediately know who this is. Ain't no way school days is on here. I immediately know. I immediately know. I saw Arjuna, I saw School Days, I saw Made in Abyss. Don't tell me. I don't know actually.

What's the bottom, what's the bottom right one? That's the Shinkai film. Voice of the Distance Stars or something like that. Yeah, it's the first Shinkai Mokoda short film. What of these is not like the other? I know, I know, why is Pokemon, though? Because the Lugia movie's fucking lost. The movie does slap, but not as good as the,

not as good as the Mutu one, dude, come on. Oh, I mean, the first one, yeah. Yeah, the Mutu one goes hard. Yeah, the first movie is definitely the best one. Is this, is Shinduil? I can't tell. No. Kevin? I think this is Kevin.

It's Kevin. It's Kevin. It's Kevin. Look at this. Everything aside from fucking school days. Has amazing. Has amazing. I just wasn't sure if Kevin would put his own It's a show on there. This is Kevin, right?

Yeah, of course. Because literally every show other than school days is considered to have some of the best soundtracks in all of anime. Yeah, it's definitely much, it's very much, hey, this is a composers. Dude, the Lucia movie, the soundtrack is fucking insane. I don't remember that.

It's actually really good. I, was this the Japanese version? Because in the English version, I can't even, I can't remember. Sometimes they would re-do songs in English release. Well, they did that for the Digimon movie, right? The soundtrack probably didn't show. Oh no, in the Digimon movie, the soundtrack's completely different.

Yeah, they, um, All-Stars. All-Star is a track in the Digimon movie. Why? They put like bowling for soup. Yeah, so it's like less than Jake as well. That's actually, it's actually sick. That's officially in the Digimon movie. It is the most late 90s, early 2000 soundtrack you'll ever hear. I'm gonna say, I think they made an improvement. I think it's better.

I think the English soundtrack for the digital movie is better than the original. Yeah. When that bowling for suit track comes on, bro? There must be some, there must be some like, you know, sometimes you used to watch a movie and you're like trying to pirate a movie as a kid. And then like the Korean version comes,

like, what the fuck is this? Yeah, I imagine maybe there's like a Japanese kid somewhere should have watched Digimon. Yeah. And then he pulled up like the English version. He starts hearing all stars like, yeah, none he caught it. Bangor, Disney.

Holy shit. They had bare naked ladies and stuff. They're being naked ladies. Dude, that soundtrack is goaded. It's such a good soundtrack. Okay, look, look, let's break this down, right? Obviously, Kevin's gonna put him Maiden Abyss because he made the fucking soundtrack for it.

Then it could have been a three-by-three of his entire Kevin's greatest hits, but it's not, so. Well, I think, knowing Kevin... I think Kevin has favorites. He has favorites for sure. Like, Maiden Abyss is probably his... I mean, it is his favorite, obviously, because it's on you. But also, Kevin just giving himself the gold medal, okay?

You deserve it, Kevin? Akira has an amazing soundtrack. Mononoke, Arjuna also has an amazing soundtrack. What the fuck is Arjuna? So Arjuna was, it was a, where was it? Early 90s, I think, late 80s? Something like that.

Was it a, what's his name, Anahidearchy show? I'm trying to remember. What? No, no, no. Ardigena anime 2001 Oh wow

Oh it's actually wave Oh that's the series right Yeah Yeah it's a series Yeah it's a movie Perhaps Is it a movie? No I think it's a series

Well the one Oh really? Yeah it's the director's cut Yeah Chikyu Shōja Ardajena Is it? Is it Anno? The 2001

What is that ad? 2001 What is that a fucking ad? What is that ad? Scroll down Scroll down for a second No, it's not. Anyway, I haven't seen all of it.

I've seen clips from it, but it was a... Well, let's look at the mouth. Yep. Because I actually don't remember. Juna Adiyoshi is an ordinary Japanese schoolgirl. Connor's like, I sleep. Who possess a childlike curiosity and a strong admiration towards nature. One day, while on a trip with her boyfriend,

Juna dies from a motorcycle accident. However, she's given a chance to live by an individual named Chris Hawken, well, he offers her powers that makes her the avatar of time. In exchange, she must fight to protect the Earth from evil forces. Okay, so it's like an early 2000s, like sci-fi. But I do know for a fact, though, that I have, when I've talked to Kevin about, like, anime music, he does bring up Ardajuna a lot, and he says that this series is the reason why he started making music and why he wanted to make music for anime.

I hope it is because it's scored as 6.78 on my anime. Yeah, so you gotta have a good reason for liking. Yeah, yeah. But he, according to Kevin, he's like, Ardijuna has one of the best soundtracks that he's ever heard in all of anime. Yeah, because I know, I think what immediately gave this away from me, just immediately seeing this is, number one,

a lot of these are films, and films normally have, you know, are more, especially of your composer, you know, You're allowed to have, I guess, sometimes it's more impactful to be able to score, like, music for certain, like, for like a feature film. Whereas for a certain, like, anime series, you know, you kind of just have to make certain tracks, not knowing what final scene they're going to be used in.

Yeah. And that just means a lot of film scores end up being very, very memorable and very, very impactful. I have talked to him about Terran Resonant, Zanku No Terra as well. What an amazing soundtrack. That is his favorite soundtrack of all time in terms of anime, and it is mine as well.

It's one of my favorites of all. Actually, to be fair, it does say something because I actually don't remember much about the show, but I do remember that the songs are always very compelling. It was the Icelandic-infused music, yeah. Do like the terrorism, that was fun too. Nothing matches terrorism more than an Icelandic music. Do you know, I don't know if we need to cut this,

but do you know something interesting, about terror in resonance. So, okay, so the show is obviously about a group of terrorists, right? Yeah. So when this was airing, there, I can't remember if it was their ninth or 11th episode got delayed. I do remember this happening, yeah. Yeah.

Do you know what date it aired on? 9-11? Yes. Oh, my God. Really? Yeah. Holy shit. I was like, when I was.

Is that why it got delayed or it pushed it? it back to like. I can't remember. I just remember how long guys. Hold on. You know what you're really funny? We had such a funny moment. Someone in the board room was just like,

we can make something really, we can send a message with this. We can make something really funny happen right now. Jesus. No. But to me, I still think that I still really, really fucking like Zonky Notara. Yeah, it's a good show.

Yeah, I remember when it came out, everyone was talking about it. I mean, they just kind of disappeared after that year. I think a lot of people were not happy with the plots and the characters, but I don't know, something about the feeling that show gives is there has been very, very few shows. And a lot of this is to do with the soundtrack,

but a lot of this, just a lot of individual scenes as well. I don't fully remember what the plot was, but I know that they were terrorists and they had a solid reason. And hope so. That's it. That's all I remember. But I also just remember being like,

ah, okay, we did terrorism and now it's over. And now the show's over. It's like, okay, cool. Terrorism is over. Guys, it's like, I remember watching it feeling it should have been longer. It was, what, 12 episodes, right? Yeah, it was 12 episodes.

Because, you know, nowadays we're starting to get some 24s popping up and even longer. That was, I think when this came out, it was, there was only 12 episode anime's coming out. Does Kevin have any reasons for why he put these on, or? No, no reasons. I mean, I guess it's self-explan.

I can pretty much guess which with most of these. No, I just wanna know why I put school days on there because I'd love to shake his hand. I just, because let's just say, Kevin didn't put it on there for the fucking soundtrack. He was probably grinning going like, I could do a cheeky move here. Put school days on while I'm like, that's my Kevin.

Is that your Kevin in friend? I can do a cheeky mode. Sounds like a Brexit geese. Go ahead. I just. Wake up. School. days watch. Kevin, Kevin, you realize now that you are one of the most actual respected,

you know, staff members in the anime industry right now, especially in composers, you know, found an industry alike. What the fuck is school days putting like doing on here, Kevin? What is it doing on here? I mean, my respect went off right. You know, well deserved. I would say. I don't want to hear. If I didn't already love you, I love you even more now. I don't want to be listening to fucking mean and abyss having the existential crisis of my life. He definitely did the And then in the back of my mind, I'm like, you know, school days played a part in making this, you know. You're talking like anime creators

of the most well-adjusted views on most things. God, come on. I mean, what I am also surprised about is him putting the voice of the distant star. Yeah, what the fuck, Kevin? Because like, what is this thing? So this was, Makota Shinkai.

This is Shinkai Makota's first directorial debut. It was a, what was it like, it was a short film, I think it was like 20, 30 minutes or something. Uh, kind of, Mecca, but also including a lot of like the Shinkai-isms of like, you know, lots of emotional scenes and stuff like that. It does have a good soundtrack, to be fair. Does it? I don't remember it.

I remember the soundtrack being pretty good, but the problem is is that I barely remember the plot because- Because it was shit. Because it was not very good. Because Mako Shinkai didn't learn out to do plots until your name. Yeah. Is he the director who keeps making the same movie? Yeah.

Weathering with you, five centimeters per second. Okay, that's a very generalization I said, but that's, it generally makes, it generally makes very similar things. Yeah, no, because I remember. You're not gonna believe it, his next film is a romance. Okay. Well, I can figure that one out.

Well, he does like different variations, but I remember before your name. Different variations. It's almost more insulting, I think you're saying, I just the... He does the same thing, he changes it up sometimes. His, I actually watch his newest film over Christmas, and it was like...

Oh, the, the Cizermere. The Sizemair, yeah. Yeah. That was kind of felt like Shinkai was like, I'm gonna try making a Ghibli film. Right. That's what it felt like. And then there was romance in there.

That was the part that actually was the weirdest part. Well, no, because before he did Mirai, which was another one that no, that's the other director. Oh, that's for Soda. Sorry, my bad. But before that he did, what's the other radwitin's fucking thing? Weathering with you. Weathering with you, yeah.

I liked weathering with you. Yeah, a lot of people like that. Yeah, I prefer it of your name. I have, I did not. Yeah, but you're fucking, you have a bono for your name. I just think that he, like, here's the thing about Shinkai, because I am a big fan of Shinkai, and I'm very familiar with, I've watched everything that he's put out.

Something that was always strong in his works pre-your-name was that he always had a, I could always tell the idea and the emotions and the feeling that he wanted to put across in his films. Yeah, like that was, was always something that really resonated with me no matter what Shinkai did, including voice of a distant star as well.

And the thing that I always thought he was missing was he would always have this idea or emotion that would resonate with me, but the plot would always be fucking boring. You know, it would always- Yeah, in my opinion, in my opinion, it was more like, you know, because my favorite Shinkai film is five centimeters per second,

but not because I think it has like a really good plot. It's more so the fact that like, as you said, like, Shin-Kai's moving, a lot of the times were not like a singular story that was being told. It was kind of just like a collection of emotions, just like kind of stitched together.

Yeah, I mean, five centimeters per second, I think it's a beautiful idea for a story. But there's no story. What's the story? There's no story. What is the compelling, like, plot line of that, you know? Why is it called five centimeters per second? Because that's how fast it felt the story was going.

No, it's called five centimeters per second because that's the speed which a cherry blossom pedal falls. That's legitimately why it's called five centimeters per second, because the cherry blossom falling motif is just the law in that movie. Yeah, but I feel like he discovered, like he discovered something with your name where he took all of these, some of these ideas and emotions,

and he weaved it into what I thought was a pretty compelling plot line. And I thought that was the only piece of the puzzle he was missing, and then he found that with your name, and then he was like, I don't know how to do something else other than some, other than some kind of like the same kind of ideas as that. So like one thing I respect by Susan May is that he tried something new.

It's definitely different from weathering with you. That's good. I would have liked more if it actually did not have any romance in it, funnily enough. You're asking Shinkai to not do romance. Yeah, yeah. I thought that was the least interesting part of that plot. It's like asking light novel authors to not do incest. It's not going to happen.

Well, funnily enough, I also thought the romance part, You guys have seen your name, right? Yeah. I also thought, No. You never seen your name? No. I've had this struggle, honestly,

with watching anything romance related in anime. Yeah. And I don't have this problem with normal, like, Western media. I don't know what it is about. So the Japanese interpretation. Japanese interpretation of romance stories that I just don't connect with.

Really? A lot of them I just don't care about. I'm completely the opposite. Yes. I see a Western romance story and I'm like, You know, it's just like, except the notebook, notebook is banga. It is my favorite.

Unironically, it is my favorite Western romance film. Like all these women fucking cry about like, oh, Titanic is the most fucking blah, blah, blah, I'm like, no, it's just a fucking ship singing. Well, that kind of romance, I don't really fucking care about much either. Notebook was actually,

that's very, like, angelical Christian interpretation of romance. Yeah, I don't know if this is a hot take, but the notebook gave me the feeling of a Japanese interpreted romance. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Because in the sense that it's like, if the notebook ever got an anime adaptation,

I could totally see Shinkai doing it. Because it gives that same feeling of like the notebook having this like, it has, unlike a lot of Shinkai films, it does have this coherent story, but there's so many different emotional points that feel very Shinkai in the way that like how the characters change

and develop and stuff like that. I mean, like, for one, it's just a really solidly written story, in my opinion. I think the only reason why it's had this stigma is because it's the fucking relationship test a movie that everyone talks about, right? But when I actually finally sat down and watched it with Aki, I was like, wow, that was actually a fucking beautiful movie.

I cried in The Notebook, bro. I think I watched The Notebook, too. It was a great film. I liked it. And it was, I don't remember much about it. It wasn't Japanese, so I didn't feel anything. You know. Chang Tatum was good in it.

Sorry? Chan Tatum was good in it? Chang Tatum. It's not Channing Tatum. No, who's it in the network? It's not Ryan Gosling. It's, uh. Wait, was there another movie around that time

with Chan Tatum? That I remember. Wait, it was Ryan Gosling, wasn't it? Was it Ryan Gosling? Was it Ryan Gosling? I just, I just kind of like, it's that guy. I just kind of like, what's the guy?

Yeah, it's right goes. Oh shit. Fuck, there must have another. I got, because I remember I was dating this girl and she forced me to watch like three of these films and they all blended into one in my head. That had Chenning Tatum in it? At that time, I swear.

21 Jump Street. No, no, I swear there's a movie, because before 21 Jump, before Chan-Tayton was a comedy actor, he was doing romance only. Was he? Do you remember this? No, I remember this.

Yeah, Chanitaine was the romance guy. I think I found out about Chanit Tademan through 21 Jump Street. That was when he started to like, are you serious? That was when he wanted to like, he was like the American like romance go-to, heart flog.

Really? Yeah, yeah. Wow, I did not know that. That's why he did a bunch of weird films to try and kind of get out of that notion. Oh. What American or what Western romance stories do you like that? When I said this out loud and I know that we were talking about it, I was trying to think of my head

because I knew you're gonna ask me this. And I'm trying to think of a piece of media that I think I did romance really well. Oh, what's the fucking Jim Carrey one? Eternal Spotless Mind. Eternal Sunshine Spotless Mind. That's a romance, technically. I love, and I swear, I feel like I haven't seen this ever

in a, and maybe that you can correct me because I'd love to be wrong about this. There's rarely ever stories about romance going horribly wrong. That's why I like my fucking romances, man. No, yours doesn't go horribly wrong. No, I think what kind of is talking about is that it seems like it's going in the right direction and then it ends up going horribly wrong

because the protagonist is- As it so does in life. Yeah. What are you talking about? What are you talking about? Oops, I stuck my dick in my little sister. Your one is, your one goes wrong from minute one. No, no, it doesn't go wrong.

Okay, this is, this is a horrible example, right? Yeah. But I really fucking love how they deal with romance and peep show. Are you fucking serious? And where it's this fucking mess of a comp, because romance is super messy in real life. That's one step away from the fucking Dennis system, man.

That's so fucked up, but there's, I love the whole arc with like Mark getting married in the, because in this peep show, he gets married to this woman that he's, He doesn't really know if you wants to get married to you, but he just thinks it's the right thing to do. Sure. And then he realized it's fucking horrible idea

and he didn't wanna get married. And I kind of love that they did a story that like in Western media, we can have a bunch of these stories about stuff like that. I feel like an anime, they would never be a show like that. There would never be a show where a guy gets married. Turns out he doesn't like his wife. And they would commit to it in a way

that would actually make you think, hold on, these guys are horrible people. It would make you think like, oh, his wife is a demon lord, that's why he doesn't like her. It's like nothing, They can never make an, like, just unlikable characters that we can figure out that we don't like.

It's like, hey, this is a character you shouldn't like. I think it's because it just hits too close to home for a Japanese people. That's what I want. But Japanese don't want that. All right, how many Japanese people, right, are in fucking loveless marriages? Why can't we get a fucking anime

about a loveless marriage? That's why shows like Agresco was so not popular in Japan because it's too close to home and Japanese people don't want to watch anime for that reason. that it was about fucking animals. Yeah, but they were so like, well, this is too real. But they were still like,

yo, Haida is totally me, dog. This guy said he doesn't like, work. I don't, okay. No, I'm, based on what you said, I'm gonna say something fucking outrageous. Okay, all right, fuck. You want escapism? No, fucking rent a girlfriend, man.

That is almost exactly without the marriage part, but with the everyone being assholes. Yeah, but here's where you're gonna lose him. They're all high schools. Well, okay, no, they're- University students, actually. They're all university students, but it's the suspension of disbelief is to a degree where I'm like,

ah, I think this is just, this is silly. But I think if it was grounded in some reality. Yeah. How come every single goddamn love triangle in anime has to be so corny and stupid? Why can't it be an actual love triangle? What do you mean? Well, they have to actually like, they would have to actually explore the mechanics

of what it would actually mean to have to juggle this realistic love triangle. And how fucked up it would be. That's why Gordon Time is one of my favorite romances. Yeah. I did exactly that, in my opinion. That's probably the most realistic depiction of a love triangle, not counting. They also did that Nietzsche go 100%.

I think the problem is that also a lot of the times, if you were to really depict an actual love triangle, you probably wouldn't like the protagonist much. Yeah, and then you end up with school days. Yeah, so how do you juggle that? But I feel like that could be, like, and why golden time is so compelling, because it tries to do something different

and doesn't play this safe route of, in the romance, here's what's what's, gonna happen. Here's the two people gonna get together. It's all gonna be very happy. Oh, maybe, you know, and my, my pet peeve is that they're like, this romance is tough. Or how do we, how do we throw some spice into this romance and make it kind of difficult? I don't know, fucking kill their kid or kill someone else around them that makes them have to be sad as opposed to having some actual problems stem from their romance. Like let's make the problem come from an out, like an outward source, not not something that they're having to deal with. Yeah. And I feel like

that's a much more mature way of approaching romance that we are a little more inclined to exploring in a Western way, but that's, I don't think we do as like a good job either, but I feel like we just do not get this flat out at all in anime. And that's kind of the reason why I'm not too huge into anime. Yeah, I think just in general,

everything you described is- I don't have anything to be depressing by the way. I'm just saying I would like, mature-takes-old romance. I actually, yeah, give me more depressing romance stories. I think, I think the reason for, it works for me in anime, is because there is that suspension of disbelief

because I think I have a lot of the same problems that you have of romance. Except when I see real actors, I'm like, this isn't, this ain't real. This is like some. No, no, when I see real actors, that brings it out, brings me out of the story even more. Because with anime, it's like an animated medium,

something in my brain just, this thinks, okay, you have a higher suspension of disbelief just because you know that this is, kind of like a fantasy cartoon world. But when I see real actors and something doesn't replicate real life how I know it, that actually makes the intricacies

of what doesn't work. That's crazy. Come out even more for me. I feel the opposite. Because I feel like when I'm watching a movie and there's some really talented actors and just seeing all the little body language that they're doing to really sell this emotion

or what they're thinking, I think that's just saying that you just cannot replicate in anime. because you can't have all these tiny little body movements. They all have to be deliberate. Whereas an actor can kind of put in these little, maybe an arm movement, maybe a tongue in the, like literally like,

I don't know, you know, like little, really tiny little body movements that we just can't express an anime. It can really sound emotion or a scene or doubt. Well, I would go the opposite way where, you know, animation is a different form where you can express a certain idea or a certain motion in a different way

than any real actor can. You can draw expressions. You can exaggerate. moderate movement and emotions without making it feel like it's out of place just because it takes place in a world of cartoon. So it's, yeah. I think it totally, for me, it's,

I'm kind of in between you guys where if for me, it just totally depends on the actual story that is taking place. I think some stories works better in animation. Yeah, absolutely. Some stories work better in live action and I don't really have a preference. And that's why I generally prefer live action stuff

for romance just because I find that those very slight body movements really sell romance. You know, the little things that actors can do. I get it. I had that feeling when I watched the anime version of I wanna eat your pancreas, and then I watched the live action version of it. I way preferred the live action version of it

because of what you said. You can add a lot more to it, but you just can't. Like the feeling of the emotion was just so much more potent with real people, as opposed to the anime. There are some stories that I would absolutely want more in anime than I- Oh, totally. Just how it goes.

Interesting. Yeah. Other than that though, I mean, Ghost in the Shell, Akira, amazing soundtracks, totally get it. The Lugia movie, I guess that's just nostalgia for Kevin. He is a Pokemon, man.

It was Ente was the third one, right? Ente was the third one. That one was pretty good, but I remember not being as solid as the other two. But I know a lot of people love the Ente movie. Yeah, and the Celiby movie as well. And then there's the Unknown movie? Wasn't there a movie about the unknowns?

Pokemon? Am I crazy? I don't know, I haven't seen all of them. Is it a movie? I swear there's a movie there's a movie about the unknowns. And then fucking... I think a lot of the other. Lucario got his own movie. Oh yeah.

I think the last one I actually remember watching was. Oh, maybe it was, oh yeah, it might have been the third one, actually. The unknown, because I think the unknowns played a huge part in that movie. The last one I watched was the Selby movie. That was a good movie too. That was great. And then there was a Latios and Latios one? Yeah.

Fuck me, bro. They printed money. Printing money. Amen, good on. All right, solid list from Kevin, though overall. Solid list from Kevin. Definitely this is your composer's favorite anime kind of. favorite anime kind of list. Yeah.

Is that Ghost and the Shell the movie? Yeah, it is the movie. I haven't watched a movie, only the series. That's good. It's not. It doesn't matter everything about Ghost in the Shell, no matter what, except for maybe the live action movie, everything flaps pretty hard.

Oh yeah. What about the 2045, the new one? Oh, I don't, we don't talk. Yeah, we don't talk about that one. The back flipping up the stairs. Yeah. It's still my favorite. If it's a ghost and shell, like anime, anime,

like an actual. Yeah. Still my favorite scene ever when the guy gets all his money from getting the one yen's from bank transactions. Oh yeah. He's still my favorite scene ever. Yeah. So good.

All right, nice last. Good job, Kevin. So we have our next three by three up and I can already tell who this is. Wait, really? I, I'm pretty confident. Okay. So we got Hunter Hunter 2011, I assume, U-GyO,

Dragon Ball Z, Code Gias, Attalion, Teges, Attalion, Death Note, Vinland, Saga. What's that last one? Code Gias. Oh, it's code, why do they pick that picture? I think that's a loosh. No, Codegease is up there.

So what's that one? That is... What is that? What's the last one? That is Code... That looks like the Luson. That looks like the Zero Mask. I don't know what that is.

Oh, Cashern sins? Cashern. Oh my God, I haven't known that. What's Cashern? Huh? What the fuck is Cashin? Cases is... The beta Code Chias.

I wouldn't go that far. Is this Charlie's last? I'm pretty confident. in his Charlie's world. It's got to be. This is the most male anime fan generic list ever. Okay, yeah, that makes sense. That made sense.

Not a single romance or slice of life to be seen. Not a single sports anime. Everything is action, manly stuff. Yeah, I respect it. Men, men, men, men. Boys, boys, boys. This is the boys only. Is this Charlie's?

Yeah. That's got to be. What's the bottom right one? Oh, this cash and. Wow, he watched Cash and Sins? What the fuck is Cash and Sins? I don't even know what this is. It did come up before or after?

I can't remember. It's before, right? It is an action anime. That's all I really know about it. I didn't watch it. I didn't actually watch it. I haven't watched it in years. I think it might be kind of like...

It's a mecca, I'm pretty sure. It's a 7.5 on Mao. That is literally the most seven... That means it's like a five out of ten. But one thing that I am guessing why Charlie put this off. is that it just has a very badass R-style and a very badass visual kind of like identity. And it's true.

Which, you know, I know Charlie would be a big fan of. Does Charlie have a reason for putting Cashin and Sinsen? No. Hmm. All right, well, I mean... Okay, let's go, let's go through this, even though this screams, this already screams everything. Code Yes makes sense because he said on trash taste that that's his favorite anime of all time.

That's valid. Which is valid. I can see why someone would be that favorite. I know you went through a phase of collecting Yu-Gi-o cards as well. And you go's just great. I just love the memes, I just love the, I don't know, the Ugo fandom seems like they have a good time.

It's so quotable as well, it's such a great show. The dub is great. The dub is so good. You're a third-rate jewelist, no, you're a fourth-rate jewelist for the third-rate deck or something. See, the problem with the dub is that I don't know, like I literally can't tell which scenes are from the original dub

and which scenes are from U-GU-GU-GEL. I think I want to quote it's from the abridge, actually. So I think the, no, it should have been me. I think that's from the, I think that's from the... I think that's from the... That's from the U. No, no, no, it should have been me, not him. I don't know any more.

But I keep quoting like... Well, the abridge... My deck has no pathetic cards, Yugi, which I think is from Yugi if I... And then obviously the fucking pot of greed meme is all from the... Oh yeah. That's from the... That's from the abridged.

Yeah. That's from a bridge. What does pot of greed do? What does pot of greed do? And like no one never, no one knows. No one knows what pot of greed does. Oh no, I think that just became a meme because every time-

Pot of greed came on. Pot of greed came on, they would always explain the power, even though it was the most simple card you could possibly pull from the deck. It wasn't it like, it was like that you explain how pot of greed works by using pot of greed or something? Yeah.

And then I had summoned another pot of greed. I unfortunately have no idea which memes, yeah, like you said come from the abridged and which come from the actual dub. I have, you know, just pot of greed is basically just every ugly bastard fucking design you've seen from Hentel. Yeah, it is kind of confusing.

And kind of concerning. Yeah, look at this shit, man. That's my favorite fucking card, bro. Can we agree that the- Look at that. It's that smile, man. You're gonna saw it and got turned on and thought, hold on now.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Oh, actually, I have an actual pot of greed. That's actually kind of bad ass. That's really, really sick. I, I, I, I, I think the dual disc is probably the hardest, right, yeah.

The hardest piece of equipment in all of all time. It goes so hard. The what, so dual disk? Oh, the fucking coolest piece of anime merchandise that you can own. Every kid, every kid one of the one. I had one as a kid. You did?

I couldn't get my parents to buy me one. I wanted one of these so bad when I was a kid. It was so sick, but I remember it was so annoying having to keep your arm up all the time while you're playing. Yeah. But it felt so fucking badass that you didn't even mind. I, what a cool piece of equipment. That is the coolest card game,

kind of like piece of equipment that has ever come out. That's crazy that someone's making a video being like, I got a real dual death, like it's some kind of ancient artifact. Whereas I just had them as a kid and I'm like, what I loved was the little section above where you, yeah, where you could like put your actual deck inside of it and you could pull it out.

Yeah, and there's the graveyarders at the bottom. And then your life points were there. It was such a cool, such a fucking cool piece of equipment. What a fucking genius. God, I was, I wish that Yu-Gi-Go came out when nerd culture was a bit more accepted because, yeah,

dual-disc, un-ironically, one of the coolest things ever, I would love to see what a high, like, high-spec build. We should all buy one. An actual high-spec custom build of a dual disk would look like, because obviously this looks like, you know, typical kids toy. Can we all buy one and play Ugo with it? Sure.

I really want to do that. I've never played Ugo before. Oh, you want? I've never played Ugo before. I've played Ukio a few times in my, in my life, but I've recently played the Forbidden Memories PS1 game. Oh yeah, yeah.

Yeah. Which came out before the official rules of Yu-Gio were established. Yeah. I played it because there's a, they, it's like the craziest speed run of all time. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Because the game is fucked.

It's also R&G. Yeah, they made the game impossible. It's so fucking hard. Isn't like the 100% record is like 70 something else or something? Yeah, because you have to get like 700 cards and some of the cards, actually a lot of the cards

have 0.1 drop rate. Yeah. Yeah. So you have to just grind. And it's like Konami was just hated kids. But that was a fun game. And maybe we really wanna play more Yu-Gi-Yo. Yeah, totally.

Yeah. So cool. The monster designs are just so cool. So cool. Yeah. I mean, of course, Attack on Titan is on there as well. I saw his video where he did very much enjoy the ending. On the same, I mean, I think Charlie puts it on the same level as Code Gias now just as a whole, as it's like favorite anime. DBZ he obviously grew up with.

Yes. Same with like, uh, death note, I would assume. Vinlan Saga, yeah, I mean, who fucking doesn't like, like Hunter, Honda, Vandlin Saga, like who doesn't like it? Uh, Judi-Kaysen, I'm not surprised. Not surprised. I think it's, if you're watching Djutsu Kaysen right now, well, I guess, it's season two.

Well, when this is, when this is out, it's finished airing, but there's like two weeks, two episodes left before. It's so hard not to think that it's like, fucking amazing. I just all like, it's the only anime I really wanna keep watching every week. It's like the latest Shibia are, has just been that modern Shonen art classic,

in my opinion. It's insane. People are gonna be talking about this arc for generations to come, so that doesn't surprise me. But yeah, this is, this is it. This is the boys only club. You know, this is, sometimes, I don't know if your guys' Twitter feed

has been just taken over by Shonen fans recently. I think it's because Jiu-Sycin Thankfully not. Is it not? No. Every day I log onto my Twitter, and someone is making a certain thread of like, oh, here are some manga panels that go hard.

Oh, I've seen those. Yeah, yeah, manga panels that go hard on and shit like that, and it's the same fucking 10 shows. It's like, they're my throwing done to don't, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, it was just like, out of nowhere incest scene in Jutsu Kaysen recently, and that kind of blew up.

And I remember when I watched it, I was like, huh? They kept that in? They kept that in. Yeah, there was just a random incest part. They kind of came out of nowhere. Yeah. It was really weird.

It literally came out of nowhere. God, not even Jesus, Sykeson, safe. Yeah, and it was really funny watching Twitter react because they were like, it was like a bunch of like, all the, because there was this one tweet that blew up that was like, ain't no way they put this in the anime and it was just showing off.

Incelling, but even more concerning, incest with like a really older sister and a very young brother. Oh, switching off, I see. And they're actually blood related. And they're blood related. It's none of this like step sibling bullshit. And it was just out of nowhere in the middle

of like the most hyped shit ever and they were like incest. You're like fucking what? Jesus Christ. And then all the replies were like Vegeta with like bloodshot eyes like screaming being like why is she so bad though? And it's like what is wrong with Twitter?

It was like literally like Regina coughing up blood being like I don't care though I would. And it's like what is wrong with? with Twitter. Like, what have we, what have we done? What have we done to these people? It's, it's so amazing how, like, DBZ is just one of those shows

where every non-DBZ anime fan just loves the clown on that community, but fuck me, they make, they still make some of the best goddamn memes and reaction images. Honestly, after modern showin, I'm like, maybe, maybe we were too, maybe we were too harsh on DVDs.

Well, I think it's because Goku and Ritjita have such, like, they're so recognizable, which lends to their memeability. In the same way that, like, Mario and Sonic are often memed, because they're so widely recognized. Yeah, totally.

I'm just liking the fact that there are more anime screenshots that are just becoming widespread memes now. Like, the one I've seen recently that's been spread around is the one where like GON's about to go for the attack and Kilauea just like got his hand on the shoulder, which is like normally used when someone's like overshooting a tweet or someone's like, someone's like saying something that might've been going

a little bit too far and someone just replies that. And I'm like, that's so fucking good. Oh my god. Yeah, I mean, there's not much else to say about this one. Good taste, Charlie. I mean, Charlie, this is just a good taste. We know this is a good taste. It's just like your bro comes to you who is like,

hey, I wanna get into anime. Welcome to the starter pack. Yeah. All right. All right, let's look at the next one. Moving on. Oh shit. Okay, ooh.

Wow, all right. So we have Taryn Resonance, Afro Samurai, Hellsing, death note, one outs. What's the left one? That looks familiar. There's one thing that stands out to me. Yeah. Like a sore thumb.

Prince of Tennis, Kokoku, and... Handshakers. In the bottom right, which is one of the... Consider one of the worst animos of... It's one of the worst shows ever made. It's awful. It's that handshakers or is that whiz? No, it's handshakers.

This has to be Shindo Al, right? You reckon? I don't know if it is. I really... You know, I love Shindon. and I really hope he doesn't say handshers. Oh wait, no, no, no, wait to Mudan. I think it might be Mudans.

You know why? Because Mudan told me he loved handshakers one time. What? Yeah, and I was like, wait, isn't that like the worst anime of the year when it came out? Yeah, so this is definitely Moodyan. I fuck with One outs though. One ounce is great.

Sick, I'd, sick. Is this is this Moodong? Oh my God, Moodon, why the fuck? We put handshakers on there. I saw handshakers and I was like, it's either Shindowel or Moodan and I'm leaning more towards Mudan just because, um,

From a visual standpoint, like from a purely visual standpoint, it's pretty impressive how- Shout out to go hands. Yeah, it's pretty impressive how bad something can be from a visual standpoint. It's not like it's, it's not like it's bad and nobody, because nobody's trying. Someone is trying, the team is trying really hard

to make something look visually interesting. Yeah, the team said how many texts do you want? Didn't it look like to fucking, yes? Shit. And they just added way too many different textures. So it just looks horrendous. They added way too many textures. And I think at that point they discovered

like dynamic camera movement. And they tried using that shit for everything. It's like the equivalent of, you know when you're making your first PowerPoint presentation and you learn about the Starwipe transition? And you use that for every single slide. That's what it felt like the team was doing. It's like you do that with every single slide

and all the text is in word art. That's what it's like rainbow font word art. So what are the three in the bottom left corner? What are those three? The one with the orb. Oh, the orb one? Yeah, what's that one? Hina Matsuri.

That is Hina Matsuri and that is a fucking great series. Hina Matsuri and then Prince of Tennis. Prince of Tennis. Corkoku. I don't know much about Corkoku. I would be very, very interesting. All I know is that the opening is one of my favorite openings from that year, in fact, is an absolutely bad.

or opening, watched the first four episodes and I don't remember anything about it. What was that show about? Some, it was time travel thing, man? Was it time travel? I'm not sure, I don't even remember. I also maybe watched the first two or three episodes and then didn't get up.

Prince of Janice. That's surprising. That's a classic. I thought that was, I haven't met anyone who said that's their favorite sports anime. You'd be surprised, a lot of people in Japan. I know in Japan is very popular. Yeah, it's huge.

But in the Western, It's one of my, I would say, like, guilty pleasure sports anime, because the one thing that Prince of Tennis and a lot of sports anime does that I personally don't really like is the whole like bullshit power-up thing. I fucking love that in sports anime. Yeah, but shows like Prince of Tennis

do it in a way where it's just fucking entertaining. Didn't he hit like the, like the sun or something? No, he, okay, okay, so let me explain this. Let me explain the play by play, because I know exactly the one you're talking about. I might have talked about this before, but there is a C, where one of the powers is Teska.

Tezka zone. He has a power called Tesga's Zone, right? And the power, the power is, no matter where you want the ball to go when you return it to him, the ball will always spin towards his zone of control, right? So that's the power. So the visual metaphor that they go to,

is that, so Tesca is like, kind of like the beginning of everything, the start of the universe, basically. This is, okay. Every time you hit a ball, it always orbits around him. And then the balls turn into planets, that turn into the galaxy, that turn into the universe. And Tezika started the big bang,

and the big bang turns into a tennis ball, I think, and then he hits the tennis ball, and then the ball turns to an asteroid that wipes out the dinosaurs. Oh, that's it. So good. It's like Shefferoff's final attack. It's so good.

But like that's the thing. It's like Prince of Tennis and Ischil 21 are the two sports shows in my opinion where these like completely unrealistic bullshit power-ups just make for some of the most entertaining matches. I like Corcorna's bullshit powers too. See, I thought Carocco's was just kind of whatever. I like them, I like them.

Really? Yeah, I like them. I wish Croco went further like Prince of Tennis too. I actually, when it was when Prince of Tennis started going a little bit further though, it started to lose me. Really? Yeah. I think Tesco's zone was like funny.

I mean, I wasn't taking that scene seriously at all. I didn't take the entire show seriously. There was a point where I took it seriously. And then I kind of realized, number one, I think I fucking despise the main character. Is he a dick or like why? Okay, like, I just, I was with him until it kind of made me realize that he's like this like 11, 12 year old prodigy who's just so fucking

and cocky and arrogant. And I'm like, man, imagine if he existed in real life. And- Did you imagine 11, 12, you're going, Mother, Mother, blah, blah. Yeah, exactly, that's what I'm saying. He points this fucking Dennis racket at you and you do, and you just go

and I'm like, you are 12. And I'm like, you, okay, listen to you little shit. Shut up! Yeah, but like Prince of Tennis was actually my first sports anime as well. I still have a lot of nostalgia over it, but I can't- It was fun. It was stupid fun. I can't say it's better than other sports anime that I've watched

after Prince of Tennis. That's why I say it's kind of like my guilty pleasure of sports show, because it's like a sports show that's so ridiculous that you can't take it seriously. Yeah. It just goes beyond the sports anime. I love that we have Death Note and then Sports Death Note on here. Yeah. One Outs. I love One Outs so much. One-Rourts is such an underrated sports anime. It's not many people talk about it anymore, but But this is my kind of like pick for a sports anime that not enough people have watched. So good.

And I still think the equality is there. If you want to watch Death Note, but with the Death Note logic applied to baseball, watch one else. Does Modon have opinions? No? You didn't get any? Okay. Because like Afro Samurai is an interesting pick.

I mean, it's a fucking fantastic show, but I've never heard him even mentioning Afro Samoa. I mean, the fact that Samuel Jackson voices Well, yeah. Didn't he produce it? Crazy. I'm not sure actually. He was, I think he was like one of the lead staff in that.

I think he either wrote it or produced it or something. I've actually never watched it. I just know that Samuel Jackson voices him. Oh, you would love it. Really? You would love it. It's such a good show. I mean, yeah, who doesn't like Helsing?

I love the dub of Helsing. The English is so fucking good. It's just fucking handshakers. Like, why? I can see why he likes it. Really? I mean, it's... Minal loves Bals Bailin.

bad things. Yeah. He loves. I get that. Because he loves weird shit. No, I get that, but like, you know, there's, I have a lot of shows that I love where it's like, it's so bad that it's good. But handshakers wasn't even, it's so, so bad that it's good.

It's just so bad. On a visual perspective. Even a storytelling perspective. Well, storytelling perspective, I think, was just very- I can't power up, unless I'm touching a girl's hand. That's literally the entire premise of handshake. The storytelling perspective was very generic, you know, but from a visual perspective, it is, it is actually like incredible.

I'd like to imagine that he's rebuttling all that we're saying. Yeah, the text notes right here. This is why you're wrong. But Ham would say something like he'd look at you dead in the face and go, yeah, and it's awesome. That's what he would say.

That's a really good mood. Yeah. I do like how out of everything here, there's just this nice fuel good anime that's Hinamatsuri, you know. I never actually watch If there's one, handshakers isn't the thing that stands out to me the most in this one,

because it's actually Hina Matsuri, because it proves me that Bhutan isn't a robot. He's a human. Yeah, he's a human with emotions, because everything else, I'm like, ah, okay, this is like, only an AI could enjoy handshakers, you know. I can understand the enjoyment from just a purely, it's just fascinating.

From a purely technical perspective that is fucking fascinating. Heena Matsuri is just so fucking feel good. It looks feel good. It's, yeah, it's, it's. Would you recommend? I would actually recommend. Okay. The only thing, the only reason I think that more people didn't talk about it was because

it came out on a year that was an absolute banger of anime years in terms of shows coming out, so it just got swept under the rug. But it's one of those shows that does this whole, you know, showing the relationship between a father and a daughter really, really well. If you watching a Matsuri, you will, and you are a father and you have a daughter, this is the show for you, cause it'll make.

So it's a soggy drug with a good ending. It's not even good. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All right. All right. You sold me. All right. All right, cool. Thanks moving on.

Let's do the next. I'm looking forward to the amount of shit he's gonna talk on screen. A lot of death notes on the list. So, yeah. And terror resonance as well. I think that's the second. Terran too, is that third time I've seen death note now?

Or? Yes, I think so. All right, say no more. Say no more. Yeah, I know. Yep, yep. Yep, three, two, one. Emily. Yeah.

I saw fruits basket, I saw fucking card captor. I saw Oremonogazadi, I saw, fuck, what else is there? Everything, is that Tokyo Mimi on the bottom there? That is Tokyo Mimi on the bottom. Yeah. I mean, every show is, um, follows girls. This is everything.

Emily draws. Yeah. So literally everything Emily draws. So there's Nietzschejo, fruit spasket, Kaikapta Saka, Kha-Kapta Sarka, Oremu-Sokin, which is based. Yeah.

Fucking Konasuba, Tokyo Miu-Mu, and what's the point of right one there? Skippin Lofa. That's something to add this year, Joe. They love Skippin Lof-R is great. I didn't see it. Shockingly. Yeah, genuinely, I know why Emily put

put Skiff and Lofa there. That show screamed Emily. It looks like Emily drew that. It's cute, it's feel good. It's one of my favorite romances that aired this year as well. And it's been a long time since I've seen characters that actually feel like people and not anime characters. It's just a very genuine show.

Honestly, the one that sticks out to me is Panning Stocking. I did not expect. I mean, I assume Emily's going to say like, oh, I like Panning Stocking because the art style is so unique, which it was. it still is to this day, but it just, I don't know, it doesn't, it doesn't seem like a show that Emily would be into, you know what I mean?

I can, I'm like, hang out with Emily, I wouldn't be surprised if she put this on here because she saw, it was like, you know, knowing what type of person Emily is in the background that she has, no, it's like seeing Panty and the stocking for the first time, I'm just hearing the amount of fucking swearing.

Yeah. And just how grossly, just how gross it is at some point, she's like, oh my God, maybe this is, like awakening something in me. I don't know, why do I, why don't I kind of like, why don't I kind of dig this? What the hell and I love-

I feel like saying fuck. They just say fuck and shit in my anime. And it has a transformation sequence as well. Yeah, like magical girls. What? Yeah, because Pani and Stalking is just a magical series in disguise. It's so good.

Yeah. And Painting Stalking season two coming out soon? Fuck yeah. Let's go. I'm so pumped for that. Obviously, Cardcaptor Sakara as well. I don't know if Emily watched Cardcaptor

or the OG card captors, which I count as a different show. That is a different show, yeah. What's the difference? Because it was dubbed for America. And it kind of, did you hear about the One Piece Four Kids dub controversy at all? Well, when they changed like animation.

It's just, they- Which controversy we talk about? Yeah, there's a lot. Okay, just the fact that it exists. I remember, because I watched One Piece on Cartoon Network, and I remember that they'd change all, like, their weapons to, like, toy weapons. Sanji doesn't smoke cigarettes, he eats lollipops. I remember that, too.

It goes more than that. They change all of the music to resemble more, like, Saturday morning cartoon, so all the original soundtrack is gone. Best anime opening ever been. They changed characters to be, hey, hey, wacky, I'm going to say, a pun, kind of like character. So they basically changed the entire vibe and everything about the show.

And I wouldn't say card captors was on that same level of changes, but there definitely was a hell of a lot of changes. I mean, they changed the names of the characters. I think Sakra is the same because it's Cardcaptor Sakara. I think her best friend, they changed her name to Madison.

Madison? Yeah, they changed her name to Madison. What was her real name? I can't remember. remember. Because I'm not gonna lie. It certainly is in fucking Madison. I'm not gonna lie.

Dog looks like it's fan art inserted into that picture. It doesn't. Furious and like salivating. It doesn't look real. It does look like a piece of furry art. It looks like it's put in there. God, cats. My OC with Sakara.

Like what is that? Is that Madison? No, Madison's the black hair chick. Yeah, yeah, no. Yeah, yeah. Well, I forgot, I forgot what his name was. I haven't seen Cardcaptor in so goddamn long. I'll be honest, I remember more about Cardcaptas

than Card Capra's. In Japan, there seems to be these shows that are more aesthetic shows and this seems to fall into that where I see a lot of people who like more so the aesthetic than the actual show itself. Well, Card Capter Sacro is written by Clamp who made some of the most like, you know,

visually aesthetic shows of that kind, right? So like everything Clamp made was just like, oh my God, this looks so pretty. Because like when I asked people, you know, who really liked the show, I'm like, why do you like it? They're like, I just love the like aesthetic

and I love the vibe of it. As opposed to here, it's got a great story. Yeah, yeah, I remember the vibe of Cardcaptus Sakra. I don't remember. Oh yeah, her name was Tomoyo. Tomoyo. Oh, oh. Yeah.

And it became Madison. Madison. Madison. Hey Madison. Wait, so was, was. That is out of pocket. So did they change all the character names? No, I think Lee, they didn't change because Lee, there's,

you know, we just say. Caravaris is the same. Kiro was his name. Kiro? Yeah, Kiroberos was too long. Kira Berrera's was too long. Kisaronsana, it was Kira. I think they changed, they changed his,

her brother's name as well. So it's not Yukito. So, any- Like John. Sakura and Clive. I like how they just kept Sakura. Because it was like, Sakura. Sakura.

The beautiful. God. Card Captain Sakura, dubbed character names, here we go. Okay, let's see. Let's see, let's see, what do we got? On, a Sakra Avalon instead of Sakra Kinimoto. Sharon Lee is Lee Shoron.

Oh my God. Kara Barris is still Caro. Okay, that's good. Tomoio is Madison Taylor. Toya Kinomoto is Tori Avalon. Okay, okay. Yukito is Julian Star. What the fuck?

Okay, Mailin Lee is Maylin Rue. What the- Why? Why? Why did that change? That makes no sense whatsoever. Ariel Hiraigizawa is Eli Moon. What the fuck? Yeah.

They didn't change Nakura's name, though. Ruby Moon. Leila McKenzie. Kaho Mizugi is Leila McKenzie. Well, yeah. That's- Chi-Hu is Chelsea. Oh, why?

Oh my God, why would you do that? Why would you do that? Zachary. God, back in the day of English localizing dubs. Oh, Wei Wang is still Wei Wang. We're like, that's just a bang. That's a bang. Yeah, Wei Wang is just a banger name.

We're not changing. Mackey-Masumoto is just Maggie. Maggie. What the actual fuck. Oh my, yeah, so I'm interested, I'm assuming she would have watched the dub of card captors because that was the thing that aired on TV back in the day.

God, it's so funny. Of course, yeah, Nietzschejo is there. Yeah, I went to the Nietzschejo Cafe with her. It's awesome. Yeah, Nietzscheo I've still been meaning to watch. So funny. Still been meaning to watch that. I know it's so goaded and everyone talks

about how amazing it is, I should watch it. I mean, it's like, obviously the comedy is always subjective. So like, it's a lot of, I know a lot of people who don't really understand the comedy of Nietzschejo because they just don't really like the kind of lull random, subverting expectations kind of humor. But what makes the show so goad is just Kyoto animations, just work on it.

It's so aesthetically beautiful. It's so impressive and expressive. And they managed to like hold onto Adai K. She's like manga art style as well. Like the manga looks exactly the same. Yeah. Yeah. I'm surprised Nietzschejo hasn't been, like maybe it came out too early

or maybe not enough people watched it. I think it was ahead of its time. But it was, it's the perfect meme reaction show. Oh yeah. You know, to the point where I'm surprised I don't see more meme reactions of just Nietzscheo characters, you know? Totally.

Um, yeah. Ori Monagatari as well, my love story. I only watched, was there only one season of that? I can't remember. Yeah, I believe so. It was, it was, it was I, I guess. It was, it was I. It was I.

It was good, but a character just looks out how Emily draws herself. I mean, that's a very common theme with Emily favorite shows. Like, Emily wishes- Kick at this, good, no, I don't do that. Emily wishes she was Toro from Fruits Basket, bro. That is Emily.

This is just, hello, I'm a klutz main character energy. The one scene I remember from my love story is just the scene where she, I don't know, she's running off for something and then she trips over and then she just, and then they show her tripping over and she's just lying flat on the ground. Just like dead.

Just like dead. And I was like, why did they have to put that scene in? I don't know. Yeah, I did think all those character types were made up until I met Emily and I was like, where people are actually this clumsy. Yeah, because I know exactly why she put a fucking connozuba in as well.

Yeah. Because Aqua is Emily. Yeah. Acqua is Emily with blue hair. Tokyo Muimu, I guess, you know, you just grew up on that stuff. It's a solo magical girl show. And yeah, Kagiyasama is just a really fucking good show. Just, you know, in general.

It is the modern, like, equivalent of that first romantic, anime that this new generation is gonna look back on. Totally. And think, hey, what would you say is the Kagiyosama of our generation? Romance? School days? No, I'd say, oh.

Well, because like, I don't know, was there a romance comedy like Kagayasama that came out, because like I feel a lot of the romance shows that we look fondly over. I feel it was Toradora. Yeah, but like, I was gonna say Toradora, but like it's not the same vibe, right? because Kagosom are definitely, especially early.

I don't think it has to be exactly same vibe. Oh, I was just talking romance in general? Just the big romance. Yeah, Torridor. Okay, so, because here's the trajectory every, like a lot of anime fans take, right? Which is you discover anime through one of the mainstreamed showtons. Maybe it's probably Narito.

Sure. Back in the day. And then you're like, oh wait, there are things, there are anime about things that aren't people punching each other. And then there's always like that one guy or that one friend who recommends a romance anime for you to watch. And I feel like in this day and age, it is Kagiyosama.

In our generation? It'd probably be Toradora, because that one guy was probably like, don't worry, there's some actual epic action scenes in Toradoids. I feel like he was either Torodora or Klanad. Is Klanad counts as a romance? I'm not sure.

Yeah, totally. It's just the slowest romance of all fucking time. That's also one of the most depressing romances of all time. Part two is. Yeah. All I'm just depressing because you're like, fucking talk to each other.

Yeah. And, uh, yeah. I mean, what else can we say about this? All of these romances is the kind of romances that Connor absolutely despises as well. Yeah, yeah, these are all romances I would despise. I mean, the only one you kind of like is panning stalking. I fuck with panning stocking a lot.

Yeah, Konasuba you like, right? I love Konasur, yeah. And you like Kagoshima? I haven't watched Kagoshima. Oh, okay. I think you'd like Kagoshima. I don't think you would like Karatezana. Really? No.

Why not? Well, because Kagga Sam has a lot of comedy elements to it, which I think he might find one. He can't look past the high school element of that. Yeah, the high school element It's frustrating. Okay. It's the entire, like a lot of the comedy

revolves around this idea of them being the student council. Right. I fucking hate student council. Like, I know Connor. I'm like, he'll hear high school, he's like, okay, okay, maybe, maybe I could look past it. He'll see student council who was like,

I'm out, I'm out. Why is the student council in Japanese anime have more power than the fucking presidency? They somehow can get shit done. Because that's what Japanese high school kids wish. in their head. That's how they envision it in their head because that's all they know.

I don't know. It's just a power fantasy, you know. All right, but yeah, this was very typical of Emily. Good job, good job, Emily. Good job, Emily. Good job, you know, fulfilling your stereotypes. Let's go on to the next one. Next one.

Oh, good thing to know that. We do indeed know our friends. Yeah, we're pretty good at this. Yeah, we're four for four so far. Yeah, four for four. Oh, I know who this is. Oh, I think I know who this is as well. Yeah, I know who this is.

Yeah, I know who this is. Wait, hold on. Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, my bad, my bad, yeah. Wait, what? You have three people left, Shindo L, Sydney, and Kaho. One of them doesn't make sense, but I'm pretty sure the rest is... Wait, no, this one's...

I actually don't know this one. This could be any of them. No. Really? Yes, I know who this is. Okay, should we go on three, two, one? Okay, I'm going to take a guess. Okay.

Ready? Three, two, one, Sydney. Okay, okay. Ina Hanna and Orimo. Yeah, okay, I looked at like Aiken, Kamichama Kani, like Anahana, Orina. What the fuck is that Aiken art? I just saw that.

Why does everyone have the most giant tits? Aiken is, A, one of the worst anime ever made. B, one of the funniest shows, because it's just so bad. So, I remember, so the reason I know this was because she obviously told me to this, told me the shows to put on. I noted down some things about why, they're on there as well. Okay.

Because she was saying some of this shit. See, she was saying some of this shit. The first show she says is Naruto. And I'm like, I've been with you for 10 years. We are married now. I didn't even know you've watched Naroto. I was, yes, I was. I think she was just trying to please her husband.

She was like, what the fuck? You've watched Naruso? Sydney, we've been married. And she was like, yeah, this was her first anime. And it was the very first time she felt goosebumps watching watching any shonen or any show in general. She talks about the Vock Lee versus Gara fight. And I'm like, excuse me, how have you never talked to me about this?

You've never referenced taking off the weights. Yeah, you've never referenced taking off the weights. You know, you clown on everyone who watches Narito. And so that was the biggest kind of like surprise for me. So, A.K. Aiken. What is the show about of the big tits? So Aiken is a show from the early 2000s

and one or two episode OVA, if I remember correctly. Yeah. And it's set in high school. Yeah. And it is one of the most overtly, over-sexualized, overreacted, just like comedy shows, I guess. Imagine if fan service characters

were some Lovecraftian nightmare creatures. That's Aiken because you look at their, like you look at their tits and it's, it's like it's, it goes beyond not even knowing how the female anatomy works. Yeah. It's just, I just remember the character, the character with like literally the biggest pair of tits

I've ever seen in my life. Like it's like the size of her entire body. Yeah. And they go full jiggle physics as with it as well. The fucking jump rope scene? Yeah. And Sydney told me that this is on there because this is the very first etchy show that she watched.

This was the very first etchy show that she watched. I didn't even stumble across this. I never even heard of this show. Because this is such an infamous show. Yeah, because this show got infamous because of the tits. Like, you go on like any forums and someone would have like some sort of like gif of one of the girls with her tits like fucking flopping about.

I'll check this out on YouTube right now. You'll watch any scene from Aiken and you'll be like, what the fuck is going on it? Definitely gonna get age restricted if we show any clips on here. But she told me that this was the first etchy show she ever watched. And she was so terrified that her dad

would find out what she was watching that she literally system rebooted her entire computer after watching Aiken. I mean, you know, that's a great fucking choice. I think I would just smash my computer with a hammer. What the fuck? Yeah. Yeah.

Which scene are you're watching? They're just like their boobs are like sentient things. Yeah. Yep, yep. That's the scene I remember. That is the scene. That's the scene I remember. What the heck?

I was gonna make a video on this show years ago and I was like, I don't think I can without getting like fucking community guidelines strike for showing anything. Okay, see, I looked at this three by three and the reason why I got confused is because of Boba. Same me, bro. Same air. I have, I had no, I fucking love Boba-Boh and Sidney and I've never talked about Booba-Boh. Sidney's never mentioned this to me either.

Yeah, what the fuck? No way, she's what, Bobabobo? Yeah, she fucking, what? When she, that was, actually, that was the second thing she said after Narita. She was like, Naroto, Bubba, Bo, Bo, Bo. Because, uh, yeah, those- It's Boba-Bo-Bo-Bo-Boh-Boh. I don't fucking know. Come on, do not put disrespect on my man's name.

I'm fucking no man. It is one of the funniest manga series I've ever read. I'll be, I'll be honest, I haven't seen it. It's so fucking funny. So what was the reasoning for putting it on list? That, it was Narito and Bobobo, Bo, Bo, Bo, Bo, Bo, Bo Bo Bo. Did they say it, New Mount Romo? Bo Bo Bo Bo Bo Bo Bo Bo.

Boba. Those were like just her two childhood anime. It was huge on Cartoon Network, I remember. Yeah, yeah. The dub was really popular overseas. Yeah, I think Naroto and Bobo Bo Bo Bo Bo. I didn't know this because in England, we did not get Bobo Bo Bo Ato at all. So Narita I knew about,

I didn't know that was like widely spread on television as well. Yeah. Boba Bo is just the most like, if you took every kind of poo-poo-pipy humor and throw it into a, I think the original, I think the original manga was like almost 30 volumes. Yeah. But it is, oh my God, like this is still to this day

one of the most absurd yet hilarious comedy shows. And the anime as well is really fucking funny as well. Yeah. Obviously, Oren, High School Host Club, that checks out, that is like, that checks out. Hello, I have just, I have just discovered my first Shogho anime.

Anahana checks out, I think I've heard Sydney sing the ending more than I've actually heard the actual ending. Do you think Anna Hanna- Does bring up Anahana a lot? Yeah. Yeah, do you think Anahana would have aged well, that's all?

Um, oh, that's a good question. I watched it and when I watched it, I was like, this is a show that I never, ever wanna watch again. So I'll never find out. I just never wanted to watch it again. I'm fine. I mean, I for one.

If I needed to cry, I would put on Anna Hana. Yeah, I for one, fucking loved to this show when I watched it. Cried like a baby at the end, beautiful music as well. Yeah. Opening and ending banger. Yeah. I don't know if I would recommend it to people today though.

I know, right? It's hard. I think it's really, like, I think people who watch it now, some people will like really fucking connect to it and then others will be like, this is so cheesy. I'm scared to rewatch it because I hold it really, really close to my heart.

It's the vibe of the show is everything that I love, but at the same time, I think back to it and I'm like, a lot of this, I love the crying of the sad part of the aspects, just feels really cheap. Like, here, let me play this really sad song when I want you to cry. And it worked, it worked, it worked. it like conditioned us, like we were a fucking dog.

We're like, okay, you hear the bell, or you cry now, you cry. What I would recommend instead, I think, instead of Anahana is Markia. Markia? Yeah, because that's written by the same person. And I think Markia is just, I think is the better aged version of Anahana.

God, do you know what I think would be interesting? Because I had this story the other day, where you take a show like Anahana or some other really popular show, and you do kind of like an after story of all of the characters is grown up, right? And just seeing, just seeing where, like,

I think, Kyle, can you pull up the Anahana 10 years later? Like, they did a 10 years later drawing and I saw it and I'm like, oh, just give me like, just give me one, like a side story. I don't know if I'm ready to this. Look at this, look at this. Look at that poster. Oh my God!

Click, yeah. Ah! No! Click on the close-up. Can we see a close up with this man? He's got a beard. He's got a beard. Oh my God.

Nah, no, no, oh my, no. I'm not, bro turned into a hippie man, look at the main character. Yo, the guy on the left is me for real. I wasn't ready for that. They're like, they're like salary man, bro. Yeah, I know. Right in the fields, man. Oh, that's just, I will say.

like the fucking blue-haired girl. Like be careful who you make fun of in high school, man. Be careful of who you make fun of in high school. They should have done anime from this age. Would have been more interesting. Yeah. I mean, there's still hope, you know, they might remake it, who knows?

Yeah, hopefully. I mean, I mean, I would, not necessarily Anahana, but I would love to see something like this in general, especially because all we get is like the fucking, what if official collaboration pieces, or what if fan arts. But I would love to see something like that because I think that would be absolutely incredible.

All right, going back to the three by three, though, here's another question I had for Sydney. Higarashi. Now, on this three by three, it's the recent remake, re-adaptation of it. It should have been the original. Is the original? Okay. I wanted to ask,

I'll be talking about the original Higirashi? Yeah. I mean, checks out. She loves her horror, so this is not surprising at all. And there is not a lot to pick from. It's the most solid entry, I'd say. Yeah.

The original one for sure. Yeah, I can see this one, this is always the first horror anime that got spread around just because it was like so shocking that Q girls could actually, you know, it's a cutesy art style, but actually they're all murderous girls and there's blood and there's gore. And it has one of the most convoluted stories

ever written in horror. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I've never finished the second season of Higarashi. Which I know Kai. Yeah. No, I liked it. I thought it was too slow.

Really? Yeah, in the first season is too slow too. I mean, I've played the original vision novel and that is way slower than the anime. So, yeah. That attracts a certain kind of person. You know what's good though? The Higarashi manga is actually, I think,

more terrifying than the anime. Because what they did with the Higarashi manga, which I really like, because you know how Higaraschi split up into like different sections, I guess, in the story? So what they did in the manga was each section is actually

illustrated by different manga artists. So each section, yeah, so you actually, when you go through each section, you actually get completely different visuals and different interpretations of that part of the story. And some of them are, some of the most terrifying manga panels I've ever seen.

I cannot think about the show without that scene from that documentary where the guys like, yeah, today I researched how much gas it would take to blow up a school. Why, what? What? No. No.

What he told you? There is this documentary on YouTube following, I think like the family that was like making the visual novel game. If you go to YouTube, type in like, Hegorashi documentary. It's actually a pretty cool documentary just following the family that makes it.

Right. And, uh, the Uki Shio 7, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I don't know if it's all dedicated to it, but there is like one scene where the old guy, I guess, where he looks at his PC, Yeah, he turns around and he goes, well, today for accuracy,

I had to figure out how much gas it would take to blow up a school for one of the scenes. And I was like, I don't, I don't think you had to research that. Well, you needed to make it realistic, right? I was like, did that have any bearing on the plot? It was like a question that was like, how much gas should we buy, guys? Oh, yes, officer. That's why being an author is just the best way to give yourself 629.

How the fuck do you find that? It was, I think it's been real. uploaded a bunch. Yeah, it's a former an NHK program in 2005. There's no way they uploaded in 60 FPS

in 2005. Yeah, I don't know what the fuck why do they do that. But yeah, they basically followed him and there's a scene where he's like the old man. Yeah, I think it's this one.

Yeah, yeah, can you play it from here? Yeah, yeah. I think it's like around here. The father who once banned games is in charge of background research. For one game, I had to research and chart volcanic gas composition.

And for another, I had to figure out How much gas was needed to blow up a classroom. I literally cannot think about this show without just imagining an old man Googling how much gas it takes to blow up a classroom. I'm surprised I'm getting on some government list. I'm surprised I remembered that exact,

what are the exact scenario. And I just, I have no idea. Hey man, they had to make sure if it could be a real, because remember, Higiarashi. You do not need to measure that. Higarashi is a mystery horror. That has to be realistic. How did he calculate that?

I don't know. I'm sure there is some way. He asked someone on 2chan probably. Yeah, I just can't. Reddit, figure it out. There's gonna be someone in the subreddit on this episode. It's been like, I figured out the gas composition

and how much you need needed. It's probably someone on the red of being like, depends on the size of the question. How did you research that? Tell me, like, okay, did you really need to research that? I don't know. I've never once seen an explosion, a piece of media,

No, no, there wasn't enough ass there. It doesn't seem right. Hey man, some authors want the believability of their story to be watertight. But it's just the fact that it's the whole family producing it and it's the father. It's just the old, this old man who's just sitting there looks deadpan on the camera today.

I had to research how to blow up at school. It's like what? It's the deadpan voice over that fucking kills me. Yeah, it's so good. It's so fucking funny. But yeah, good choice I think for a horror anime. What on earth is this, uh, Kami Chama Kami Chama Kami Chama Kani.

I've heard Sydney talking about this. I've never seen it myself. All I know. This is like a Saturday Night Live parody of anime. Yeah. The eyes are so monstrously big. All I know is that there is one scene or one clip screenshot that got really, really memes.

And it's the one where it's like, search up, search up Kmitzma Karin eyes. And I'm sure it's gotta be. I know which one you're talking about. Yeah, yeah. Where she looks like a fucking bug. Yeah. That's the one.

Wait, this looks like my drawings of characters. Everybody thinks this is an edit, but this is actually in the episode. Why? Because this is what the art style was in the early 2000s. What the fuck? This is the mid-2000s, how to draw anime art book.

Oh, there's also cannons. What the fuck is the plot of the show? I don't even know. I think it's some kind of magical girl show from the looks of it. It looks like a magical girl show. 13 year old, cutting Hannah Zona feels like her life can't get any worse. Parents died when she was young.

Jesus. That was not how I thought the show. Leaving her with an aunt who doesn't hesitate to call her stupid unless and useless over her poor grades. God damn. Her only friend, her cat named Cheechan, passed away recently.

Oh my God. She can't catch a break. Begins her moment her life turns around for the better when she's approached by a guy girl who also has lost her parents and her cousin who finds girls to be troublesome, both of them searching for a goddess. The mother's memento ring shines brightly in their presence and fills her with its radiance, making a smarter, faster, and capable of granting wishes. Okay, so it's like a mega-depressing magical girl spin, I guess. God. So why does,

why does Sydney, like, I don't know. She, uh, so what the fuck? Well, so that leads, So that leads into Evangelion, right? I know, but... Well, Evangelion is how you guys met, right? Evanguelan is how we met, but also, she actually watched it because I showed it to her and it really, really fucking, fucking, fucking, it's a legendary show for a reason.

Yeah, so I would say, Camacho, Karen. I don't know, like, I've talked to her a lot about Camichael Karen. She just holds it close to her heart. This must be like that one nostalgic, you know, guilty pleasure show that you grew up with. Yeah, yeah, exactly. You know it's not the best,

but you have a special place. True. With it. Yeah. Which is fair. All right. All right, cool. Very fun, less than less do you though.

Very fun. Well, now I know next time I see Sydney, I'm going to talk to her about burger. So we have, Kaho or Shindo Al. Okay. Okay. Let's see.

Okay. Okay. So here's the second, the last one that we have. I'm pretty confident. Wow. I am pretty confident. I think I am also confident.

No, actually, fuck. be either Kahur or Shindo. Oh, shit. You're right. You're right. Kaha or Shindo could see. It's like a mixture of what I think the two of them are like. Macross Frontier.

So we have Digimon Adventures. We have Isakai Quartet. We have some show I've never seen. Vampire dies and nose time, which is quite a recent one, if I'm not mistaken. Neon Genesis of Angeline, Akibis, Akibis Sale uniform, Marika. Oh, what is that middle one at the bottom there? I've seen that before.

Is in her circumstances. Oh, yes. You're right, and Macross Frontier. Yeah. Shit. I think I, no. Actually, it's literally, I was confident and then I looked at some of them and I'm like, wait. I'm leaning more towards Shinda, but some of these choices could be, is also Carho.

Okay. I'm pretty sure. I'm going to say Shinda. I think it's Carho. I think it's Carho. Really? I remember. Caros more up to me, Macross, more than anyone else in my life. Yeah, I can- really.

Kaho has brought up Macross in the first podcast that we recorded, I remember. She loves Macross. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I believe, I remember talking to her about Digimon as well. She does like Digimon too, yeah, yeah, yeah. Otherwise, I would, I would have been like,

oh, this is Shindowell. Right, yeah, that makes sense. All right, who is it? Oh, thank God, all right. Okay, wow. So this is such an interesting, what is that top right one? Medea.

Nudia it says. Oh, nudia, sorry, I don't think is me. Oh, God, Catacana. It looks like maybe 80s, early 90s, maybe. Yeah, so Kaho has watched an ungodly amount of anime. Yeah. I didn't fully appreciate this when we first had Kaho on when she started bringing up fake weeps.

And I was like, I thought she just meant like, some people who watch like two anime. But I think she means like 90% of people who watch anime. Because Kaho has watched so much anime. Yeah. Yeah. And her knowledge of it is very impressive. So this looks like a very, very list.

Very, very. And I've always wondered why Calholt likes Digimon so much. She actually did give me reasonings though. Oh, she did? She did, yeah. It's because it's the superior Pokemon. How fucking did it. Okay, well, is the one you'd like to know about first?

I can... What is the top right one? What is that? The top right one? Okay, that's a good question. Okay, let me scroll up. Okay, here we go, I have the list. It is...

Is it? I've never seen it before. It looks like a... Akebi Chan's Sailor Uniform? No, no, that's a different one. No, no, that's the one on the middle right. Akazukin Chacha. Akazukin Chacha.

I've seen this around, but I have, no, is this like a really, O-G-Shojoo anime? I mean, look at that second picture there. That is OG-Sho manga, Katoos-Flock. Kaho says, Capturing the mesmerizingly cute art from anime, the show manages to hold both say-so vibe and Yuri fan service.

It's a gem. Wow. Say-so and Yuri. They say-so. Wow. Wow. Okay. I've never seen it or heard of it, but...

This is OG. When did it come out? Can you go to Wikipedia? This must have been pretty old. Car was also mentioned to me... 194. Yeah, Cal has mentioned to me in the past that she really likes a lot of OVAs. Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, the 90s was the fucking... Peak OVA. Peak OVA. I mean, I do kind of miss the OVA... era of anime just because you had so many interesting and different fucking ideas that didn't always appeal to the mainstream masses.

Yeah. But they would be able to be mage just because it was like a three-episode OVA. We'll never get like another genocide or like Violence Jack or any of those. Yeah, I was talking to Cai about it and I was like, yeah, I really wanna watch more 90s OVAs because I remember I'm watching a show,

like a random show from the 90s. And the show did not call for it at all, but randomly like five minutes in, just titty, titties and like naked. Yeah, like, it wasn't brought up in like a sexual way. It was just titties and then he's moved on. No, no censor bar either.

Nothing. And I was like, okay, wow. Yeah. Jeez, we're really doing this. If you want to see anime in its rorous form then just watch much 90s over years. Yeah, everything was weird. That's the point. Yeah. It didn't really matter about appealing to

kind of like writing like a mainstream story. People just had weird fucking ideas. That's why it's so fascinating to go down that rabbit hole because you just find some of the wildest stories. And not everything. is a banger. Not everything is like the best written story, but you all have a very unique time.

You will see some very unique things. Yeah, it's been fun. I've been watching, what do they watch? This one called Key the Metal Idol. Have you heard of this one? I have not. It's fucking weird. It's basically like people who are trying to make

robots that are, that you can pilot via humans, but to pilot it, you need to take the, like, soul out of someone. And it's just this weird, it's so weird. And it's like 15 episode OVA, and it's all got, it's like titties all the time. Is this on Netflix? No, no, I just found it, look weird, and I was like, I'll fucking watch it.

Yeah, all of these you just have to find online. Yeah. It's like way too dark for no reason. It's like, I kinda, I kind of fuck with this 90s stuff. Oh, you go through your metal phase of, yeah. I'm kind of having fun time. It's fun just watching these random shows that are, I don't think they're good or bad,

I just think they're weird. It's just fascinating, yeah. And I've been trying to find shows that have no existing manga, and this show was all just original. Yeah, yeah. It's so weird. Yeah, totally.

I mean, I think for me, Ava and Madoka Magica, Macross and Digimon make a lot of sense. Yeah. You know. A KB Sailor uniform, that was... I never saw that one. That came out recently.

Came out like two years ago, three years ago. Did it come out? Oh, wait, sorry. Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry. The description I gave was for sailors uniform. Oh, oh, well. Capturingly mesorizingly cute art from the animation

managed to hold say-so-vibe and Yuri fanso. Okay, I was about fucking say. What Kao actually said about Akazuki and Chachai is this is one of the most differently adapted anime from the manga in 1994, adding magical girl theme which the original comic didn't have it all. Oh, totally worked. Wow. Oh, okay. Okay.

And then Kaho liked the Yuri and Say-So vibes of Akibu-i-chan's sales. Yeah, because I was, I was, uh, I'm going to say that this came out, yeah, last year, okay, it wasn't too long ago. Two years ago? Two years ago? Kahoe's reasoning for Digimon?

Shut the fuck up, shut the fuck up, Joey. Kahou's reasoning for Digimon is the best thing I've ever heard of my life. What? So the reason why Kahoe likes to, has put Digimon on this list. She said, I was a student at a Protestant school. I stopped going to church on Sunday morning for this show and chose my religion, anime.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Based! Cahos English is so good that Cahos use a semicolon. In a correct way. What the fuck, Cahow? My God. I've never used a semicolon. I think one time I used it, I had to add a quadruple check,

I used the right. I always get the green, like, squeakily. Yeah, yeah, yeah. In my word, dog. It's like, I don't need to use this. Like, do I use a colon or a semicolon here? I stopped going to Protestant school and chose my religion out of it.

Hell yeah. That's so good. Yeah, I mean, I think Digimon, I mean, being a Digimon fan, myself. It was, I don't know, it was what I thought people found in Pokemon, which is you had your animals and shit like that. But to me, Digimon just had a more engaging storyline to me. No, totally. I mean, I watched both. I enjoyed both Digimon and Pokemon. I like, as you said, I like Pokemon for completely different reasons to Digimon. Um, Pokemon is just like heroin of nostalgia. Yeah. Yeah. Pokemon is just like, turn your brain off good fun times, whereas

Digimon is actually like an engaging story. Yeah, it has an engaging narrative even for its, you know, for its target demographic. Until that is until Pokemon gives you the fucking Butterfree episode, then you're like, all right. Real shit. Only men cry to this shit and the Charzard episode. The leading forward meme.

That fucked me up. The Charzai's episode, fucked me up. Caritas for Evangelion, the show made anime more meaningful to a lot of adolescents, even contributed to forming new categories. Like Sundere and Chunebio. Yeah. Yeah.

I don't know, what is Chunebio is like the trope where it's like, you think you have magical powers, but you actually don't. You know that. And then Kau says you just cannot ignore the impact. Well, yeah, I mean, Ionami Ray is the reason why Kudda is fucking exist. Like she, there are so,

and Aska is the reason why Sundettis are so popular. Like, Isakai Quartet? That one. I thought it was ReZero, but I only just saw. It's Issaqi's Quartet. Basically like Avengers or Justice League of Isakai shows, turning them into chibi characters and making them go to school together.

Could this be more anime? The comedic chaos works so insanely well, even made a movie with solid story. Yeah, I enjoyed Issaquay quartet enough just because, hey, this is an insane idea. Let's just put a bunch of different characters from different IPs and let's see what happens. Yeah, I think the only reason of why I liked it

is because all of the Issaquai characters that are in it are from Isikai's, I actually enjoy. Yeah, it's, I like, I like, I like, Kwanasuba, I like, way, way, way. I like ReZero, Tanya was, was good enough, you know? Yeah, so I'm just like, all right, yeah, all right, cool.

Yeah, it was like a nice little fun show. It was like, to me it more felt like fan service than an actual, oh, totally, than a natural show, you know, something like the Avengers, you're like this kind of like built up to this massive narrative point where all of these different characters coming together. This just more felt like, hey,

it's nice like, what if, fan service show where they all come together. So it was enjoyable. What did she say about the vampire dies in no time? Yeah. Vampires die, vampire dies in no time. The misdupidity and comfortiness is superb in this comedy.

Also, voice fits each character so perfectly, including the singing part. It generally captures the original manga while making it more colorful and fun. I don't know this show. I don't, I saw this show, like first couple of episodes, but yeah.

I've heard from a lot of people that This is actually a really solid show, like solid comedy show. I knew Cai would bring out the more. The left hookers. Yeah, yeah. Shows that we hadn't seen as much because Cai has just watched so many. One thing that I'm very happy with

is that she's watched his and her circumstances and it's been so long since, if you're talking about a romance anime that brings back pure nostalgia for me, it is his and her circumstances. Which shows this? It's the bottom, bottom, bottom, what's the Japanese title of that?

Because there's a show called Karekano. Karekano. This was a mass piece of Gynax with Ano. It's also Ano as well. And you can tell because the ending is whack as shit, man. The ending is a whack as shit. With cool transitions and pacing of its own, the show exemplifies one of the rare times

when I prefer watching anime over reading manga of the same title. For the animation greatly helps you be emotionally invested. Was it, was it Karekano used a bunch of music from Ava or was it the other way around? I think they both use music from Inchava. All the shows, right. Yeah.

I guess you've made a banger. Just why not? Yeah. Well, he directed Shin Godzilla as well. And he just straight up uses the iconic dun, doon, doon, doon, in like the planning scene. Yeah, the- and I'm like, wait,

hold on a second, Arno. Yeah, even 2.0 OST is the Cutta-Cana OST. Yeah. So Arno is just like, y'all, we made it. I'm a recycle. I'm a recycle. Is it even the same? It doesn't matter, doesn't matter.

We're gonna reuse it. I asked Kano about Maddo Magica. She says everything about Maddo Magic is unique. Art style music and more importantly story. Considering a lot of bait and switch shows came after this, the anime was so evolutional that it made a trend. Yeah, I mean, like Madoka Maggha was kind of the reason why the whole like deconstruction of genres thing happened now.

He started the deconstruction trend and everyone's like, wait a minute, does anyone know what deconstruction actually means? And then everyone's like, wait, we just been using that word. I don't know. We're just making parodies. We gotta think about this. It's like when people finally realized they didn't know what the word Sakuga meant.

Yeah, it's just like, we're just using it because it sounds cool. And then Macross, Kano says, not only the songs by Yoko Kano were bangers, the romantic and professional battle between two girls was well written, plus the fact the boy's, boy in the love triangle was a career-focused pilot who had a pretty face with the career background

of playing a female lead in Kabuki, gave him more depth than this typical, why does he get to be popular dudes in Haram show? God, she's more in depth than like, 95% of Hage. The show was catchy in so many ways. Yeah. It was good shot.

I mean, Macross, that was like. Legendary for a reason. That was legendary for its time, legendary in Japan as well, legendary for its genre. It was also kind of like a fucking monkey paw, I guess, because I think we have Macross to thank for idols. Yeah. Oh God.

The first ever anime idol was in, yeah. I mean, it was a Mecca show, originally a Mecca show. There was an idol in it. And then everyone was like, Like, wait, we really like this idol storyline. And now we have- And here we are, how many years later? And now we have the YouTubers.

And now they're like, wait, what if we just remove the Meccas and just keep the idols, right? Yeah, damn. What could go wrong? And now we have V-Tubers. AKB-40A push the glass up. It was like, we know what to do. I feel underqualified, do even rate Carahers List.

I feel like Carous List is probably good. It is, yeah. It is, yeah. It's solid and very car for sure. All right, do you wanna check out this last one? Let's check out Shindos. I wonder if they've kept it for last because it's weird.

Yeah, let's find out. I have no clue what he could have put on. Just look at this be the most. All right, here we go. Ooh. Oh, wow. Wow. This is not what I would have expected.

This is not what I expect. There's a like of fucked up stuff. He's got some fucking good shows here, bro. All right, so Ghost in the Shell, Jojo Stardus Crusaders. Record of Lotus War, fucking based. Grin-Lagan, Evangelion, Nausica, Musishi, Escaflone, and Attack on Titan.

Fuck yeah. Fuck yeah. I fuck with it. Dude, Musishi and Escafloni and Nalsika on here, so good. Excuse me, Gurin-Laghan as well? Yeah, obviously, do. Yeah. I'm not counting, I'm not counting like Jojo, Gorillagan, Ava, and,

and I very much, like, he put Ghost in the Shell, but standalone Complex, which is, to me, the best ghost in the shell. So it, yeah. Dude, big props for fucking Musishi though. That is still, in my opinion, one of the most under-ed anime. That is the most joey anime of all the time.

It's such an under-ed anime. It's so good. It's not the anime equivalent of lighting a blonde. I mean, kinda, yeah. I've never, I've only, it's just going off clips I've seen of the show. It's the equivalent of like, it's kind of more the equivalent of like,

you know, smoking out of a pipe. Yeah. Yeah, a little bit fancier. No, but Musishi is, I still think visually, it was so incredibly ahead of its time. And the story's just so fucking captivating. And it's so good. And the manga is amazing as well. Yeah, it's a great show.

I just, it's funny looking back when Musishi and just like knowing Joey as a mate, I look at Musishi and I'm like, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is everything that encapsulates Joey as a vibe in there. Yeah. If, you know, this could be a fucking album cover or something, you know, and, uh. Dude, Musishi manga covers, our album cover. Yeah, that's just, this is so aesthetic.

What is record? I mean, I know what is this, but what is record of Lotus War about? Record of Lotus War is, oh God, when did it come out? Fuck, 90s? 80s. I think it's 90s. 90s, right? Yeah, that it came out.

Let me see. Records of Lotus Wars. 1990. 1990. T. Okay. Well, I was technically right. What was the show about?

It's about a Lotus War, isn't it? Yeah, have you seen it? I haven't seen this a lot of time. Have you seen it? I haven't seen it. Oh, okay, so none of us have seen this. So we, yeah. I've heard about the show.

It's weirdly awkward. I have seen it. I remember nothing about it. They'll still think you. Created from the aftermath of the last great battle of the gods. Lotus and his kingdoms have been plagued by war for thousands of years

as a quiet piece. And unity finally, became foreseeable over the land, an unknown evil being begins to stir, an ancient witch has awakened, bent on preserving the island of Lotus by creating political unbalanced throughout the many kingdoms

and keeping anyone from maintaining central control. It sounds like a political... There is a certain... Is it an Issaquai? No. I think it's just a fantasy, isn't it? Is it, okay. This is a political fantasy.

Because I have seen, like, a lot of... It's kind of nostalgic, looking back at a lot of 90s fantasy because the 90s era of anime did have a lot of fantasy and funny enough, a lot of Isakai as well. It was just totally a totally different vibe

than what you see in like the modern Isakai landscape right now. A lot of the fantasy back then was about these kind of like epics and something more traditional, something more in line with what you see with like traditional JR token kind of like world-esque.

Yeah. I think one of my favorites was three kingdoms as well. That was a big fantasy that came out as well. What about, um, obviously. What's the one from the now and now and then here and now? Yeah. Now and then here and there. Um, because he has another East guy fantasy on here as well.

I'm not sure. I think this is just a fancy, but Escaliflone. Eskoflone. People forget that it is an Isikai. It is technically an Isikai. Just totally different vibe. I'm telling you, there's so many Isakai that came out in the 90s. It was just totally different. Yeah. He wasn't seen as bottom of the Barrow Entertainment.

It was just more classic, kind of like, 90, I guess, I guess. They were better at hiding the concept. Maybe it's just people who grew up with those are now working and the ones making all these damn stories because they were so inspired by stuff like Askerflai. I mean, technically, you know, Inniashu's an Issaqa. Inniash is an Issaai, yeah. Which everyone forgets. I think the big difference is that nowadays Isikai is used. as kind of like a mechanic to get the main character somewhere to a fantasy world. And the big difference is that the protagonist

always has no problem being in the fantasy world. But all of the 90s-Eas card that I remember all revolved around, hey, how the fuck do I get back home? So I have the reasonings for some of these, which is there any that you guys wanna hear about? Yeah, we'd love to know records of Lotus War. Okay, record of Lotus War.

OG Tolkien slash D&D anime that lives rent free my soul. There we go. Deedlit is best goal and everybody's first elf crush. Nice. I love to know why Jojo's on that. Jojo's Missouri Adventure. OST-Alone makes it one of the best ever.

Stardust Crusaders is my favorite. Stone Ocean best Opey, barely beating Bloody Stream. Bloody Stream is fucking goat. Yeah, Bloody Stream. But Bloody Stream isn't StarDust though. No, Bloody Stream is battle tendency. Battle tendency, yeah.

That is the most fucking hype. Opie all time, fight me. What about, Eskiflone. Eskaflone. Isakai before it was cool. Okay. Okay. Fantasy mex, great OST, fantasy mex.

He said fantasy mix twice. Say no more, fantasy mix. Mishishi, epitome of anime as vibe. See what I mean? Characters are so drenched in sadness, I can't help a love them. Agreed. Okay, Nauska.

Nalsika, let's see. Peak Miyazaki, fantastic storytelling with great characters, amazing and haunting OST, still waiting for a manga adaptation. Huh. Yeah, there is a manga adaptation, isn't there? There isn't apparently. Oh shit.

Evangallion, because he's another person who's put him to the list, would love to know why. Evangillion, where is it? Evengillian, it's just simple. Have you felt depression? This series is probably on anybody's top five, a genre in itself, perfect mix of edginess, militarism, talks at nostalgia, and emotional trauma,

Oscar Best. Hell yeah. How dare you. Hell yeah. I love that's how I knew he was about. How could you shindo? Only anime fans would be like, yeah, militarism, some deep topics, also this girl's best girl.

Does you imagine? That just sums up weeps perfectly. Yeah, yeah, I'm surprised of the lack of, I guess, like, you know, like sexual shows. I am not, I am not. Really? This is like the free-rent thing, where, you know, if it's too in your face, then a lot of,

a lot of like artists or fan artists that I've seen just aren't fucking interesting. Because why would you, there's no imagination there. There's no way you can take, you know, there's no interesting thing you can take that character that hasn't already been presented. Yeah, he does like, he did mention that he likes, what is it like, like not looting, but like,

pushing the boundary. Yeah, like figuring out how to you can take it further. This is- It just does surprise me that the guy who made minimorphises likes Musishi. That's just that, not a combination I thought would work, but I guess it makes sense. I see it. Because like I feel like a lot of the times,

I'm sure with you as well, talking to like different authors and what they like. Sometimes you ask them what kind of series you're into. And it's never the series you think it's going to be. Sometimes the most fucked up or sometimes the authors that make the most fucked up stories or sometimes the most like deep. I remember when Shindo was on the show,

he said his favorite manga was Spy Family. That was kind of out of pocket. Which is like, whoa, all right. Good on you, I guess. Yeah, I was talking to, uh, oh shit. Bin's like of, uh, Yukimura. Mukita Yukimura.

Yeah. And I was like, so why, why do you want to do Vikings? And, uh, wait, let me, let me, let me, let me remember the name. There's this, there was this like Viking cartoon that inspired him. And, you know, inspired him to kind of like make a Viking story outside of just being Vikings. What, like, asterisk? Is it Vicky, Viking? He's such a Vicki the Viking or something like that?

Vicki the Viking. Oh yeah, animated series. And he showed me this shit. And I was like, what the fuck? This became villain's saga? This is Spryd I have no evidence. What's next? One Punch Man author, watch Cal you growing up like.

It's pretty bizarre. Like, you're like, well, this is, this is not the vibe I thought it was going to be. That is awesome. I love that. I mean, he just seems very wholesome in general. He just seems very wholesome in general, which, you know, surprising.

Oh, they had a live action apparently. Yeah, sometimes surprising when you see these authors that do these heavy, deep piercing stories. And then they're like, what you actually like? What do you watch? And I'm like, oh, I like spy family. You are like, Vicky the Vikings. I'm sure it's fire.

I'm sure it's fire. I just like the fact that Vicki had no enemies. I mean, this looks like a show where she does have no enemies. Yeah, like what feels like it's like, when you, like, whenever you find out any inspiration is so simple. Yeah. You're like, what?

Like, have you seen that this like short that's fucking going around? It's, um, I think it's when the, one of the guerrillas artists, he's saying, how he got like the starting of, um. Oh, I've seen this one. Yeah, and it's the preset. It's a clear pre set.

Yeah, yeah. and it's just the entire, like, it's the rock one precinct. You're like, what? That's how you can't, that you didn't even cover, that you heard it. He just heard that was like,

I'm just gonna add a rap on this. Yeah, it was, what is it, it's, it's, uh, the act is, Clean Eastwood, yeah. Clean Eastwood. It's like, and it's like, and it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like,

same with like Daft Punk where you find out some of their, some of their songs, some of the beats are just straight up, just on the song. Yeah, it was like, it was like a 90s Cassio keyboard that he bought at a garage sale.

And he just like pressed the rock one very soon. And it was literally just clean his. Yeah. That's so awesome. Got some. Damon Albarn, what did you? Yeah. When that short became viral,

I'm sure some audio engineer somewhere around the world was like, see, that's what I've been saying all of these years. Buy out all the Cassio keyboards. It's free range. Oh my God. But yeah, interesting picks, Shindo. Yeah. And I guess.

Great picks all around. Great picks all around. Some interesting stuff. Some, some, some, some, Clear favorites keep popping up, Death Note, Attack and Titan, Evangelion. Yeah. Zanchani Tera. Zankan Oterra.

Zankan Oterra. Twice. Great music. Great music. What can I say? Oh yeah. And I would say nothing was too surprising as well. Everything.

Sidney's was probably the most surprising. Yeah, I'd say so. I think she, I think it's because she became more of a manga reader. A lot of her anime kind of like represented the shit she watched when she was younger. And I just stopped watching anime. Yeah, that's fair. Because she showed me her manga three by three. I'm like, oh, this is,

wait, let me see, let me see what she put on her manga three by three. Why, is it like a bunch of not very well-known shows? Or just very Sydney. Okay, so I'm just gonna name these out. Sure. So kitchen princess, drops of God. Okay. Okakuzake, monster,

okay. Shiki, stargazing dog. Never heard of that one. It's a manga about a dog. All right, that's- Okay, say less. That's a manga about the dog. This one was the biggest one that surprised me. Onani Master Curisawa.

Really? Yeah. Huh. That's, that was like, that is a great fucking manga. That was her most surprising world. Onani Master Curisarerastabation Master Curisawa. It's actually, uh, it's actually really funny though. No, it's actually like, it's like an in-cell redemption story.

It's actually one of the, one of the, one of the, yeah, it's actually one of the hardest. This was before like the in-sale movement. and came out, but it's actually a story of a really, really fucked up guy, and it's kind of like an inspiring redemption story of this fucked up in cell. Yeah, a lot of these are just cooking manga, alcohol, and cute dogs.

I'm surprised. Yeah, which is Sydney. I'm surprised then she didn't put the shiki anime on a three by three and instead decided to go with Higarashi. She put the shiki manga. Yeah. Because she was like shikimonger's way better.

It is better for sure. Yeah. But that was, That was all the three by threes. And guess what, guys? If you are over on our Patreon, patreon.com slash trash taste, then we've actually released a three by three
