Episode Transcript

(00:00):
The Unwanted Undead Adventurer was, was really good.
It wasn't quite what I was expecting.
I don't know what I was expecting, but it wasn't that.
.999But, that one, and then also, this one was a little more known, but still, I think it flew under the radar more than it should have.
Hey, what's up, everybody? It's your boys.

(00:22):
It is I, Beautiful Crow with my co host, Vic Seal.
And we are back with the D.
N.
Anime Podcast. 10 00:00:29,120.1 --> 00:00:33,984.025 Woo hoo! I don't know why I started making SpongeBob noises. 11 00:00:33,984.025 --> 00:00:41,584.95 It's the end of 2024! We survived another year, one more, one more year. 12 00:00:41,584.95 --> 00:00:48,755 In this economy, how did we survive this year? This year has been insane for anime.

(00:49):
Everybody, it has been the best and the worst of anime has come out this year.
It has been absolutely wild, start to finish.
And today we are going to talk all about all of it.
Well, whatever comes up to our brains, but most of the 60 something anime that I watched this year, so That's the good thing about you having that list I don't have a list I got a word document Oh, yeah.

(01:14):
No, I I am big dum dums So I can't keep track of all the anime that I watch so I have I use anime planet to keep track of my List a lot of people use my anime list and I don't really like their UI a lot You I like that they have a lot of, like, news and stuff that goes through their through their website, but, I don't know, the, the UI for Anime Planet just feels better, except for, except for on mobile, for some reason, it is, like, when it is in portrait mode, the button to increase it by one episode is, like, halfway off the screen, and it's, like, it doesn't register as, as being off the screen, so I can't, like, scroll over to it, so I just have to, like, tap on the side, it, It's mildly annoying, but it's not too bad.

(01:59):
.999Usually I just click on the number because if I fall behind, then instead of just clicking one at a time, I'll just click on the number and then just go down to the episode that I'm on.
But yeah, we'll be going over all of our favorites and our least favorites I actually dropped a couple this year and normally it takes a lot for me to drop like I don't drop stuff because I Very easily hit that point where it's like, well, I'm already invested might as well You finished Osan! I dropped that! Like I said, the whole time, Osan was the most okay est anime that I've ever seen, and it firmly stuck its spot in the most okay est. 20 00:02:39,679.999 --> 00:02:43,280 So, but there are other ones that did not make it that long.

(02:43):
There was one that I dropped this season after one episode.
I was like, I watched it.
I usually give it the three episode rule, which is almost bad because I am then at that point, like, I'm already invested, but I couldn't even tell you what was wrong with it.
The banished former hero lives as he pleases. 25 00:03:03,269.999 --> 00:03:04,800.001 It was probably the name. 26 00:03:05,559.999 --> 00:03:13,710 Well, there are several other ones that I watched this year that have a similar name, but watching the first episode, something just felt really wrong.

(03:14):
Like the animation was like okay, it wasn't, it wasn't spectacular, but it wasn't bad.
.999And it wasn't like, super unique in any aspect, but it also didn't, wasn't like, looking at it wasn't terrible in any aspect, but I was really uncomfortable watching it. 29 00:03:33,375.099 --> 00:03:46,500 I have no idea, I have no idea, just every episode, it just felt like have you ever had that feeling where you just feel like Something is in a different spot, but you don't know what it is.

(03:47):
You ever have that feeling? Like, just in life? Yeah, just like when you're walking around and you're like, Something's not the same right now.
Yeah.
It felt like I was watching something.
.999Yeah, it felt like I was watching something that I was familiar with.
But it was just like, It's just all off the mark, and I was like, I could not tell you, and I was talking to Nova about it, cause he, he was telling me that it was bad, and I was watching it anyway, cause I was like, the synopsis sounded fine, and I was like, alright, I'll, I'll give it a look, and I took a look at it, and I was like, I watched the first episode, and I could immediately tell that I wasn't going to like it, But I couldn't tell you why and I was talking to him about it and I still was like the whole time I was like, I cannot figure out why I don't like this. 35 00:04:29,464.999 --> 00:04:53,650 It's so standard Then even but it was so standard that I, I can't imagine that it didn't land in the same spot that Osan did, where it just like, checked all the boxes, like it just went through, it just went down a list, but it was like, they missed one somewhere, and I don't know what it was, and thinking back on it, I still don't know what it was, I just know that I didn't like it.

(04:54):
So if you're out there, you watched it and you liked it, hey man, good on you.
I don't know what it was that I didn't like, I literally cannot tell you.
It is like the most strangest feeling I've had watching anime ever, because it's like, I just, in my heart of hearts, knew that it was like, sucking, and I'm just like, why though? I think I got halfway through the second episode, and I was like, nah, I don't care.

(05:16):
.9But there's other ones that were, like, they were a little bit more obvious. 40 00:05:20,919.9 --> 00:05:30,879.9 The, there's Delico's Nursery, which I started late, I got four episodes in, and was like, this is, this is baby, babysitting Dracula, it's just like. 41 00:05:31,419.899 --> 00:05:35,598.32307692 Yeah, I was about to ask, that's the vampire babysitting anime that we were talking about earlier this year. 42 00:05:35,598.32307692 --> 00:05:41,989.9 Yeah, I was like, the idea was like, potentially good, and maybe it got better after four episodes, but dude, three episodes in. 43 00:05:42,819.9 --> 00:05:45,519.9 Everybody is an idiot or a dick. 44 00:05:45,969.9 --> 00:05:54,469.9 And it was like the kids were just like normal, real life kids, and they would just run around kicking and screaming. 45 00:05:54,899.899 --> 00:05:57,259.9 Except for one who was just like really reserved. 46 00:05:57,259.9 --> 00:05:58,859.899 I'm like, this is all normal children's stuff. 47 00:05:58,859.899 --> 00:06:01,19.9 So they're not unique. 48 00:06:02,579.9 --> 00:06:04,829.9 Then the like. 49 00:06:05,769.9 --> 00:06:08,199.9 The adults, I don't know if they're vampires or not. 50 00:06:08,199.9 --> 00:06:08,659.9 I'm four. 51 00:06:08,829.9 --> 00:06:09,789.899 I went four episodes in. 52 00:06:09,789.9 --> 00:06:26,554.899 I was like, are you the vampires? And then they're like, Vampires are the bad guys, and I'm like, I thought that was you, and then they're like, they're like, we're the vampire hunting team, and I was like, so you are vampires, and he's like, only vampires have the ability to do this, so I'm like, you're not vampires. 53 00:06:28,384.9 --> 00:06:33,484.9 How do you, in four episodes, Andy, you couldn't figure it out? Yeah, I was like, I don't know what is happening. 54 00:06:34,34.9 --> 00:06:35,484.9 But it wasn't all bad. 55 00:06:35,494.9 --> 00:06:39,54.9 We had some absolute bangers, like we had Kaiju number 8 come out this year. 56 00:06:40,294.9 --> 00:06:43,674.9 Definitely the literal only downside to Kaiju number 8. 57 00:06:43,674.9 --> 00:06:46,404.899 Definitely a grand slam for a new gen anime. 58 00:06:46,644.9 --> 00:06:48,804.9 The only downside was the characters looked a little flat. 59 00:06:49,114.9 --> 00:06:52,404.9 Okay, so can I talk about that really quickly? Because Kaiju number 8 is on my list. 60 00:06:52,404.9 --> 00:06:54,154.9 Obviously it should be on everybody's list for this year.

00:17:28,395.0965 --> 00:17:29,135.0965 I could tell. 236 00:17:29,175.0975 --> 00:17:35,805.0975 I could tell right off the bat when Stark was fighting the dragon and his fucking little jacket started flapping in the wind. 237 00:17:35,815.0975 --> 00:17:38,245.0975 I was like, Oh, they're pulling out all the stops. 238 00:17:38,635.0975 --> 00:17:40,655.0975 The fabric animation is crazy. 239 00:17:40,675.0975 --> 00:17:41,95.0975 Watch it. 240 00:17:41,105.0965 --> 00:18:19,895.0965 Stark put on his like anybody put on their coat was like, Like art, like it looks so good, like the weight of the jacket and him putting his arms into the sleeves, like Oh, I love it when anime does that, where they like slide their arm in and it like flaps in the wind Totally unrealistic, but I love it It's so sick, like Like, for everyone, everything just felt quality, the story, the characters, the growth in the characters, the relationship between Stark and oh my god, Blanken, her real girl, Fern, yes, Fern, her name is so dumb, but yes, Fern, and their relationship, them meeting people on their travels. 241 00:18:19,905.0965 --> 00:18:28,95.0965 It's crazy that like, the most surprising part is there is no like, weirdly hyper character. 242 00:18:29,75.0975 --> 00:18:34,245.0975 In like every anime, there's always that one guy who just has an abundance of energy for no reason. 243 00:18:34,245.0975 --> 00:18:39,265.0965 Like Stark does kind of like freak out a little bit, but only a little bit. 244 00:18:40,5.0975 --> 00:18:41,475.0975 Like he's not Zenitsu. 245 00:18:41,505.0975 --> 00:19:02,990.0975 Yeah, everybody is just like Calm, cool, collected, like the whole time, and then like Stark gets scared and he like freaks out a little bit and then But then they put weight behind it But when he locks in though, when he locks in, then that's just as cool as hell And the thing is that I liked about Stark's character is that they put weight and meaning behind him being scared Like, it's massive. 246 00:19:03,0.0975 --> 00:19:05,960.0975 He doesn't just obey me like Zenitsu is. 247 00:19:05,970.0975 --> 00:19:07,890.0975 He's like, there's a reason why he's scared. 248 00:19:08,620.0975 --> 00:19:11,140.0965 Yeah, cause he's fighting terrifying shit. 249 00:19:11,440.0975 --> 00:19:12,780.0965 But it's not about being scared. 250 00:19:12,810.0975 --> 00:19:15,450.0975 It's about overcoming your fear and doing what you need to do. 251 00:19:15,960.0965 --> 00:19:16,820.0965 Fear is good. 252 00:19:16,820.0975 --> 00:19:18,10.0975 That's what keeps you sharp. 253 00:19:18,10.0975 --> 00:19:20,330.0965 It keeps you taking care of yourself and the people around you. 254 00:19:20,560.0975 --> 00:19:24,800.0975 I love that about Star's character because it would have been an annoying Zenitsu trope. 255 00:19:25,340.0975 --> 00:19:27,740.0975 But instead it's used to make his character have more depth. 256 00:19:28,140.0975 --> 00:19:29,700.0975 Fearin is perfect, dude. 257 00:19:29,720.0975 --> 00:19:31,189.9975 It's a 10 out of 10 anime. 258 00:19:31,190.0975 --> 00:19:35,180.0975 If you haven't watched it, it's, it's memes, it's cinema. 259 00:19:35,270.0975 --> 00:19:37,170.0965 Like, memes aside, it is fucking cinema. 260 00:19:37,170.0975 --> 00:19:38,340.0975 Watch Fearin, it's peak. 261 00:19:38,580.0975 --> 00:19:39,420.0965 It's so good, dude. 262 00:19:39,460.0975 --> 00:19:39,980.0975 So good. 263 00:19:40,40.0975 --> 00:19:48,400.0975 Do you think, do you think there is a world where Freerin takes the number one anime of all time? Over Fullmetal Alchemist. 264 00:19:48,440.0975 --> 00:19:50,30.0975 Over Fullmetal? Yes. 265 00:19:50,410.0975 --> 00:19:51,170.0975 You think so? I do. 266 00:19:51,280.0975 --> 00:19:51,850.0975 I think so. 267 00:19:52,20.0975 --> 00:19:52,980.0975 I, I think it would. 268 00:19:52,990.0975 --> 00:19:53,780.0975 I love Full Metal. 269 00:19:53,800.0975 --> 00:20:16,380.0975 I think it has the potential to do so, but I think Full Metal is probably going to hold it, just because it touches on so many different aspects that are real, like, Full Metal goes through, like, classism, and racism, and various other types of, like Segregation, war, discrimination, you know, and whatever. 270 00:20:16,630.0975 --> 00:20:19,940.0975 And it touches on so many things that so many people would resonate with in real life. 271 00:20:20,330.0975 --> 00:20:20,920.0975 Yeah, right. 272 00:20:21,80.0975 --> 00:20:22,280.0975 Freerunning has a perfect ending. 273 00:20:23,550.0965 --> 00:20:31,860.0975 Such a high quality anime that even though every aspect of it is fantasy, it can still sit among the top. 274 00:20:31,870.0975 --> 00:20:35,110.0975 Like, I would definitely put this in top three of all time. 275 00:20:35,110.0975 --> 00:20:37,810.0975 I anime as good as Freerun. 276 00:20:38,410.0975 --> 00:20:39,60.0975 Yeah, that's the thing. 277 00:20:39,60.0975 --> 00:20:41,630.0975 It's like, do I think Fearin has the potential to do it? Yes. 278 00:20:41,640.0975 --> 00:20:44,760.0975 Will it? I don't know, but I think it has the potential, potential. 279 00:20:44,760.0975 --> 00:20:46,400.0975 I don't, I haven't read anything about the manga. 280 00:20:47,620.0975 --> 00:20:49,900.0975 Yeah, like it just depends on how they go. 281 00:20:49,930.0975 --> 00:20:55,160.0975 Cause again another thing that happened this year, this ain't really anime related, but there's been a lot of mangas ending recently. 282 00:20:55,590.0965 --> 00:20:57,700.0975 You know, we've gotten the ending to My Hero Academia. 283 00:20:57,700.0975 --> 00:20:59,10.0975 We got the ending of JJK. 284 00:20:59,10.0975 --> 00:21:01,140.0975 We got the ending of a couple of different shows that wrapped up. 285 00:21:01,555.0975 --> 00:21:03,195.0975 You know, enders are very important, man. 286 00:21:03,245.0975 --> 00:21:07,75.0975 Enders will be the last and taste in your mouth, you know, with a show. 287 00:21:07,75.0975 --> 00:21:10,15.0975 And whether it ends well or ends poorly, that resonates with you. 288 00:21:10,15.0975 --> 00:21:12,155.0975 Full Metal Alchemist has an amazing ending. 289 00:21:12,435.0975 --> 00:21:13,405.0975 I don't know how they did it. 290 00:21:13,915.0965 --> 00:21:18,625.0965 The OG anime? Yeah, the OG ending of the anime? I thought it was awesome. 291 00:21:18,625.0965 --> 00:21:23,905.0975 That's the biggest problem I have with a lot of animes, like, to date, is they don't know how to end their show. 292 00:21:24,495.0975 --> 00:21:30,125.0975 It's like, it's really good, and then the last, like, two, three episodes is like, what the fuck happened?

So I read all the way to the end. 381 00:27:59,690.097 --> 00:28:24,920.0985 And I was like, It on its own isn't exactly bad, it just felt weird because the whole time every, every like arc, they were going like out of their way to make sure that nobody died, right? And then like, right at the beginning of the Thousand Year Blood War arc they just like, off like a hundred people and I was like, what? Yeah, it was crazy. 382 00:28:24,930.0985 --> 00:28:28,690.0985 And I was like, surely they're just gonna bring these guys back and then they just like, are gone. 383 00:28:28,690.0985 --> 00:28:29,740.0985 And I was like, well. 384 00:28:30,660.0985 --> 00:28:31,470.0985 So much for that. 385 00:28:31,470.0985 --> 00:28:33,660.0985 And I was like, that's kind of like off formula. 386 00:28:33,670.0985 --> 00:28:39,540.0975 I mean, I suppose it's, I suppose it kind of makes sense, but like at the same time, that's not how this went before. 387 00:28:41,760.0975 --> 00:28:42,950.0985 But yeah, that was my whole thing. 388 00:28:42,950.0985 --> 00:28:44,860.0985 It was like, I just would hear people say like, Oh, it's not good. 389 00:28:45,90.0975 --> 00:28:46,20.0975 I mean, you know, like. 390 00:28:46,475.0985 --> 00:28:48,815.0985 Making a manga in Shonen Jump is difficult. 391 00:28:48,875.0985 --> 00:28:50,615.0985 It's very taxing, it's very stressful. 392 00:28:50,805.0985 --> 00:28:52,595.0985 You spend so much of your time working on it. 393 00:28:52,595.0985 --> 00:28:56,275.0985 Apparently Kubo was burnt out, and he was just like, I just gotta get this done. 394 00:28:56,965.0985 --> 00:29:10,605.0985 Kill everybody! Yeah, he was like, I can't write no more manga, everybody's dead! So, I get it, and now it feels like he's, like, after a decade, and he's able to come back and finish Bleach the way that he wanted to. 395 00:29:10,980.0985 --> 00:29:12,190.0985 With an amazing anime. 396 00:29:12,190.0985 --> 00:29:13,310.0985 The animation is incredible. 397 00:29:13,310.0985 --> 00:29:15,300.0985 It's so much fun having a comeback. 398 00:29:15,320.0985 --> 00:29:20,480.0985 I remember the first piece of media that I saw for the Thousand Year Blood War arc was the new Ichigo theme. 399 00:29:20,980.0985 --> 00:29:21,900.0985 And that got me so hyped. 400 00:29:21,930.0985 --> 00:29:22,970.0985 I was already in after that. 401 00:29:23,10.0985 --> 00:29:25,960.0975 I was just like, hearing the like, the redux version of it. 402 00:29:26,200.0975 --> 00:29:29,70.0985 Like the new like, Like the beat behind it. 403 00:29:29,70.0985 --> 00:29:30,25.0985 Everything like that one. 404 00:29:30,25.0985 --> 00:29:30,145.0985 Yeah. 405 00:29:30,660.0985 --> 00:29:33,780.0985 I was so, I was so, I was like, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in. 406 00:29:33,870.0985 --> 00:29:38,145.0985 Let me, I just put the credit card down, like just, I take, take my money. 407 00:29:38,745.0985 --> 00:29:39,660.0985 I take my money. 408 00:29:40,80.0985 --> 00:29:41,970.0985 But yeah, I'm so glad to have leash back. 409 00:29:41,970.0985 --> 00:29:46,680.0985 But another anime that I, I guess we can talk about, it's another continuation. 410 00:29:47,440.0985 --> 00:29:49,480.0985 I mentioned it a little bit, but a hundred percent. 411 00:29:49,480.0985 --> 00:29:49,990.0985 One piece. 412 00:29:50,405.0985 --> 00:29:52,955.0985 One Piece has been on top of his game this year. 413 00:29:53,5.0985 --> 00:29:57,185.0985 I have not been watching One Piece, but actually I even stopped reading it. 414 00:29:57,195.0985 --> 00:30:07,665.0985 The chapters got so tedious, that I was like, I cannot get the motivation up to read this fucking trilogy every chapter. 415 00:30:08,155.0975 --> 00:30:12,169.9985 And I was like, I was sticking with it for a while, cause I was like, they're gonna get off egghead. 416 00:30:12,740.0985 --> 00:30:36,710.0985 And it just, they just didn't let up, I was like, you have to, you cannot give me the dude in the corner, and then a giant panel with a bubble full of text in it, nine times a page, like, I, I would just read the light novel, I need pictures! But The anime has been on a different level recently. 417 00:30:36,710.0985 --> 00:30:54,40.0985 I believe it was earlier this year, I caught up to One Piece, and I started reading Wano, or watching Wano, as it was coming out to get hyped up for the episodes, right? And they put themselves on hiatus because their crazy ass animation wasn't good enough? Wasn't good enough. 418 00:30:54,80.0985 --> 00:30:55,150.0985 That's crazy to me. 419 00:30:55,805.0985 --> 00:30:58,795.0985 Like, next year is apparently gonna be fire. 420 00:30:59,315.0985 --> 00:31:00,725.0985 Yeah, I'm so excited for next year. 421 00:31:00,805.0985 --> 00:31:05,915.0985 Cause the thing is, with the end of Wano happening, in the anime, and everyone was hyped up for it, it was like the Super Bowl. 422 00:31:06,135.0985 --> 00:31:08,445.0975 It was Sanji versus Queen. 423 00:31:09,255.0965 --> 00:31:11,5.0975 Zora versus King. 424 00:31:11,15.0975 --> 00:31:12,455.0965 And then Luffy versus Kaido. 425 00:31:13,425.0975 --> 00:31:23,165.0975 And, and gear fifth every single week, we would sit in a discord and watch the episodes together because when I saw the Sanji fight, I was like, Oh my God, this is awesome. 426 00:31:23,355.0975 --> 00:31:27,275.0975 Then you got to the Zora fight with King and I was like, they are going insane. 427 00:31:27,545.0965 --> 00:31:32,174.9975 And then when you got the Luffy moment where he went gear fifth. 428 00:31:32,625.0975 --> 00:31:35,5.0975 And that, that was incredible. 429 00:31:35,285.0975 --> 00:31:42,195.0975 And the thing is with the animation, cause like, I've always loved One Piece, but, I'm not gonna lie, varying arc to arc, the animation is not that great sometimes. 430 00:31:42,465.0975 --> 00:31:45,345.0965 The pacing in One Piece is, is always notoriously terrible. 431 00:31:45,725.0965 --> 00:31:51,25.0975 You get the intro, you get the intro song, you get the guy be like, Oh, Roger, put all this shit in one place, and whatever, fuck. 432 00:31:51,325.0975 --> 00:31:58,85.0975 And then that's like 8 minutes of the fucking episode, and then it's like, recap for like 3 minutes, and I'm just like, that's half the episode, it's just bullshit. 433 00:31:58,85.0975 --> 00:31:58,225.0975 Shit. 434 00:31:58,810.0975 --> 00:32:07,330.0965 But like, they really stepped it up this year, man, like, big shout out, big kudos to the animation team and everybody at Toei. 435 00:32:07,550.0975 --> 00:32:10,100.0975 One piece has been on another level, man. 436 00:32:10,470.0975 --> 00:32:15,990.0965 Like, seeing the love and care from the animators, because I follow a lot of animators on Twitter. 437 00:32:16,350.0975 --> 00:32:20,110.0975 So they'll be talking about, like, after the episode comes out, they'll be talking about their shots and what they did behind the scenes. 438 00:32:20,110.0975 --> 00:32:23,260.0975 And they'll show, like, some of their preliminary animations or storyboard stuff. 439 00:32:23,260.0975 --> 00:32:23,634.9975 So, yeah. 440 00:32:23,755.0975 --> 00:32:33,715.0975 And one of the best things that I, that happened from like this new generation, like animators on one piece and all the cool new animation is all the little like secret hidden details that you would see. 441 00:32:34,485.0975 --> 00:32:38,25.0975 One thing that I find is on everybody's tongue in impact frames, impact frame. 442 00:32:38,25.0975 --> 00:32:38,625.0975 Awesome. 443 00:32:38,625.0975 --> 00:32:39,375.0975 I love that shit. 444 00:32:39,375.0975 --> 00:32:43,455.0975 It is seeing them, like seeing like this is also not animate. 445 00:32:43,505.0975 --> 00:32:45,215.0975 But Arcane did that too. 446 00:32:45,245.0975 --> 00:32:48,185.0975 There is apparently impact frames in different. 447 00:32:48,780.0975 --> 00:32:52,280.0975 Like openings that change based on what happened in the previous episode. 448 00:32:52,740.0975 --> 00:33:05,555.0975 And then there is, there is also one instance that I know of where one of the impact frames is like Revealing their true, their true colors right before disaster strikes. 449 00:33:05,575.0975 --> 00:33:07,874.9975 No spoilers. 450 00:33:07,875.0975 --> 00:33:09,525.0975 I love that's so cool. 451 00:33:09,525.0975 --> 00:33:17,395.0975 Like I never see it because I don't pay that close of attention, but when somebody else sees it and then they rewind it, they show it off on, on tick tock. 452 00:33:17,395.1975 --> 00:33:21,185.0975 It's so sick. 453 00:33:21,195.0975 --> 00:33:26,865.0975 Cause it was like, you see, like when Lou is about to go gear fifth, The impact frames go through every gear. 454 00:33:26,865.0975 --> 00:33:31,145.0975 So it's like basically the gear, second gear, third gear, fourth, all the way up to gear fifth. 455 00:33:31,495.0975 --> 00:33:36,835.0975 You know, you got the Zoro impact frames where it's like the dragon will come out while he's fighting King. 456 00:33:37,105.0975 --> 00:33:43,125.0965 Like, it's so cool to have these little Easter eggs to be able to go back and kind of like sit back and enjoy it. 457 00:33:43,125.0985 --> 00:33:45,945.0975 Kind of like, you know, like a little hidden secrets that the episode. 458 00:33:46,95.0975 --> 00:33:51,465.0975 One of my favorite ones was when Law and Kid were fighting Big Mom and it'd be Big Mom and impact frame. 459 00:33:51,875.0975 --> 00:33:56,605.0975 The impact frame comes in and you see the fire spells out smoking on that big mom pack. 460

And it's like, no, that's not how it works. 531 00:37:45,500.0965 --> 00:37:46,690.0975 That's exactly what happened. 532 00:37:47,470.0975 --> 00:37:48,850.0965 Yeah, because she didn't do anything. 533 00:37:49,40.0965 --> 00:37:52,430.0965 She did it as like a sign of like her father's. 534 00:37:52,945.0975 --> 00:37:57,345.0975 Wishes coming true and her making like his dream come true. 535 00:37:57,565.0975 --> 00:38:00,255.0975 And that's important for her story with her dad. 536 00:38:00,655.0975 --> 00:38:02,605.0975 You know what I mean? Like it helped wait that way. 537 00:38:02,605.0975 --> 00:38:04,815.0975 She wasn't like a god tier powerful character. 538 00:38:05,265.0975 --> 00:38:06,455.0975 I think she did one punch and that was it. 539 00:38:06,845.0975 --> 00:38:08,945.0975 But it was like this weight of everything. 540 00:38:08,965.0975 --> 00:38:11,395.0975 All the pain and suffering Kuma went through. 541 00:38:12,130.0975 --> 00:38:16,560.0975 Being like, like pretty much him sowing the seeds and tilling the garden. 542 00:38:16,770.0975 --> 00:38:23,150.0975 That was his daughter and her blossoming into the sun god that he was praying for to save him. 543 00:38:23,360.0975 --> 00:38:24,820.0975 Like I thought that was fucking beautiful. 544 00:38:25,70.0965 --> 00:38:30,850.0975 I think people just fucking dumb, but I thought the body stuff was amazing and care was peak. 545 00:38:31,20.0975 --> 00:38:31,980.0975 Oh my God. 546 00:38:32,220.0975 --> 00:38:33,910.0975 And I, and I really, really enjoyed it. 547 00:38:33,920.0975 --> 00:38:40,770.0975 I can't wait for one piece to come back and let him build up more in the manga so that he can do better pace and for each individual episode, because. 548 00:38:41,180.0975 --> 00:38:43,70.0975 Doing one chapter per episode is crazy. 549 00:38:43,70.0975 --> 00:38:44,970.0975 It's excruciating how much time they waste for stuff. 550 00:38:45,280.0975 --> 00:38:49,470.0975 Let them build up a a catalog of chapters so that they can adapt things well. 551 00:38:49,550.0975 --> 00:38:50,160.0975 That's what I want. 552 00:38:50,210.0975 --> 00:38:54,730.0965 So I hope this break, they're able to rest, they're able to relax, come back rejuvenated, give us some amazing peak animation. 553 00:38:55,0.0975 --> 00:38:56,500.0975 Cause it's been really, really good, man. 554 00:38:57,180.0975 --> 00:38:57,800.0975 Agreed. 555 00:38:58,350.0975 --> 00:39:36,820.0975 So, what do you think, for this whole year, for whatever you've seen, what do you think is your, like, top three, top five, What That you've, for you, not like, just for you, not like subjectively, like, don't count Freerun either, because that's like, that's already, you know, it's gonna be at the top of everybody's, we just went over all that, we all know, everybody here knows that we all love Freerun already, we, we talked about it, I love me some Freerun, everybody should love it, everybody should enjoy it, it is fantastic, but Freerun, honorable mention, is, is so good, but my top three should be, okay, so, my top three's gonna be a little weird, one Number one, solo leveling. 556 00:39:37,840.0975 --> 00:39:40,620.0975 I thought solo leveling was amazing. 557 00:39:40,630.0975 --> 00:39:45,800.0965 Again, we had a lot of people in the community talking about solo leveling when it got announced for, you know, getting an anime adaptation. 558 00:39:45,980.0975 --> 00:39:50,590.0965 And I was excited, but I was cautiously optimistic because like, I know people said it was peak. 559 00:39:50,630.0965 --> 00:39:52,450.0975 I've heard good things about solo leveling for years. 560 00:39:52,500.0975 --> 00:39:56,710.0975 Yeah, and it was slowly breaking into the, to the manhwa sphere. 561 00:39:56,710.0975 --> 00:40:00,180.0975 So it was like, it was kind of almost uncharted territory. 562 00:40:00,400.0975 --> 00:40:02,740.0975 So it was, it was all, it was hit or miss. 563 00:40:02,740.0975 --> 00:40:08,765.0975 Like it was either going to be really good representative of, or the worst thing ever, power of God, season one, or it was gonna be really bad. 564 00:40:08,765.0975 --> 00:40:11,855.0975 A representative of God, of high school, God of high school. 565 00:40:12,35.0975 --> 00:40:18,10.0975 So I was very pleasantly surprised when I sat down and I watched the first episode of the leveling and I was hooked. 566 00:40:18,765.0975 --> 00:40:28,684.9975 Every episode after that, I will watch it at Discord together with the homie Ajin Ra, and we would just watch every episode, and then when the episode ended, and that, that, that, that, like the, it was kind of like that for Kaijin No. 567 00:40:28,685.0975 --> 00:40:38,465.0975 8 as well, but whenever the ending started to play, I was like, there's no way this episode is already over, like, I was fiending for more, whenever an episode ended, it's a level with, or Kaijin No. 568 00:40:38,465.0975 --> 00:40:38,474.9975 8. 569 00:40:38,725.0975 --> 00:40:41,395.0975 I was like, I just want more and solo level was amazing. 570 00:40:41,535.0975 --> 00:40:48,645.0975 It was so good that when I finished the first season, I read the entirety of the manhwa to get excited for the second season. 571 00:40:49,345.0975 --> 00:40:50,555.0965 I was like, I just need more. 572 00:40:50,795.0975 --> 00:40:51,685.0965 This is so cool. 573 00:40:51,685.0975 --> 00:40:55,745.0965 And it's also great because if you go from the anime to the manhwa, the manhwa is fully colored. 574 00:40:56,70.0975 --> 00:41:04,460.0975 It looks amazing like it looks like an anime just still frames like it's such an easy read to hop into it And I'm so excited for second season. 575 00:41:04,460.0975 --> 00:41:06,760.0975 The second season is coming out soon, man I saw that trailer recently. 576 00:41:06,760.0975 --> 00:41:07,420.0975 I'm so excited. 577 00:41:07,710.0975 --> 00:41:21,985.0975 But yeah, 100 percent solo leveling kaiju number eight It's all it doesn't happen a lot for me because I don't really keep up with a lot of stuff just because I'm a busy Boy, I'm exhausted, but I was reading kaiju number eight before the anime got announced And so it's always fun when you're reading. 578 00:41:22,365.0975 --> 00:41:25,415.0975 I know, I saw it and I was like, Oh, that shit, that's gonna be awesome. 579 00:41:26,165.0975 --> 00:41:28,755.0965 Yeah, so I was like already hyped up for it. 580 00:41:28,995.0975 --> 00:41:30,665.0975 And it came out and it was sick. 581 00:41:30,675.0965 --> 00:41:35,245.0975 And I got to like be like somebody like waving the flag of like, yo, you need to watch this. 582 00:41:35,255.0965 --> 00:41:35,825.0975 You need to watch this. 583 00:41:35,955.0975 --> 00:41:36,495.0975 You need to get hyped. 584 00:41:36,505.0965 --> 00:41:37,345.0975 Dude, it's gonna be so good. 585 00:41:37,355.0975 --> 00:41:38,395.0975 Trust me, trust me, trust me. 586 00:41:38,725.0975 --> 00:41:40,225.0975 And then getting to talk to everybody about it. 587 00:41:40,225.0975 --> 00:41:41,65.0975 The episodes are coming out. 588 00:41:41,65.0975 --> 00:41:42,105.0975 And just everybody getting hyped. 589 00:41:42,425.0975 --> 00:41:44,215.0975 For, you know, Kafka to be able to do stuff. 590 00:41:44,215.0975 --> 00:41:45,284.9975 And become Kaiju number 8. 591 00:41:45,285.0975 --> 00:41:49,645.0975 One of my favorite things about Kaiju number 8 is that they They, they, they get on with it. 592 00:41:49,945.0975 --> 00:41:53,385.0975 Like, normally an animator's always like, Oh, you know, oh, they're gonna keep it a secret. 593 00:41:53,395.0975 --> 00:41:53,875.0975 They go, I don't know. 594 00:41:54,535.0975 --> 00:41:56,465.0975 Like, they don't dilly dally with that stuff, man. 595 00:41:56,475.0965 --> 00:42:09,210.0975 You get that
