If you guys have a preference,there you go.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
We got to talk to a lot of people.
Our first panel was actuallythe real name of the panel
Western Animation vs JapaneseAnime.

Speaker 3 (08:32):
Basically.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
US cartoons vs anime.
This one always sparks a lot ofdebate.
Surprisingly, there were somany people standing up for US
cartoons.
I don't know if it was theOlympics or what but like the
crowd stood up, they saidTeenage Ninja, mutant Ninja,
turtles.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
USA USA.

Speaker 1 (08:54):
I mean, they went out swinging.
I heard an eagle screech in thebackground.
What's the voice?

Speaker 3 (08:59):
actor for Bugs Bunny I heard somebody play and I'm
proud to be in America.
Well at least I know I heardsomebody play and I'm proud to
be an American.
Well, at least I know I heardit in the back as soon as I said
Gundam did it better.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
somebody stood up for Transformers, it was.
But no, there was a lot ofdebate and we always bring up
the good points.
Oh my goodness, people weretalking so much crap about the
Suicide Squad Isekai.

Speaker 3 (09:21):
Oh, that's right.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
Not when I stood on business squad is a guy I still
say suicide, suicide squad is aguy is peak, y'all need to watch
it japanese harley quinn goeshard.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
Yep, so I'll die on that hill.
Our boy, jeremy g, also voicesuh, rick flagg and english stuff
.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
Yeah, he had to freaking go up there and fight
for these and from sentai filmworks and, uh, he's a friend of
the show, so we love suicidesquad.
He's got yeah, man, andapparently a lot of people had a
lot to say about it.
They did everybody.

Speaker 3 (09:43):
I was like that's a friend of the show, so we love
suicide squad east guy.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
Yeah, man, and apparently a lot of people had a
lot to say about it they dideverybody.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
I was like that's a great attempt.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
You know that was a.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
That was a heel I had to die on yes, he went out
swinging on that one, but webrought up a bunch of great
takes and we appreciate all thefans that came out and supported
us and and interacted and hadtwo cents to give but, like I
said, america was repping outthere strong we.
We really thought Japan had itin the bag.
Everybody's like bro, y'allslept on a lot of people.
Y'all are forgetting a lot ofthings that y'all are mentioning
.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
Y'all slept on some stuff.
I'm like bruh, and somebodycame up with a really deep take
that we're like.
Well, it's because you'renaturally going to like
something that you're notexposed to, obviously growing up
in the usa yeah you're, youknow what you watch is normal to
you, and then somethingdifferent, of course, is going
to be, since the difference isgoing to be more um.
Exciting for you, yes, but I'mlike I'm an immigrant, so us

(10:33):
cartoons are new to me too.
That's what I'm saying butthey're not wrong though like,
but I'm not gonna die on thathere yeah, the us does more live
action.
I've seen Chavo de Lucho inMexico.
Yeah yeah, mexican cartoons area whole other stuff.
We might add that portion tothe next panel.

Speaker 3 (10:50):
Yeah, talk about.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
Mexican cartoons.

Speaker 2 (10:52):
Love that, but no, it's true, though, like Japan
does animes before they do alive action variation of their
anime.
So we go based off.
They have to go based off of.
Is there anime?
So how do?

Speaker 3 (11:00):
you, you talk the anime right versus the live
action.

Speaker 2 (11:02):
When they do an animation version over here in
the us.
It's not the same.
The live action is normallyalways better absolutely you
know, no, you know what.

Speaker 3 (11:08):
And also it was like, also like the abilities that
what they both could do and howthey complement each other were
like the us has capabilities oflike doing crazy, fusion, fast,
exciting animation, but theychoose pixar because it's
cheaper, more economic and, likeyou get it out faster, like the
movie's done within four orfive months.
I imagine that's a culturalthing in the US, where I want my

(11:30):
hotcakes and I want them now,while it's like in Japan they
apologize, like hey, bro, I'mover the late 10 years, but it's
worth it.
Of course we cooked.
Of course this is an exceptionfor Spider-Man into the
Spider-Verse.
They are probably doing theJapanese style harder, taking
their time.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
Oh yeah, I'm glad you know that's something we didn't
bring up in the panel theSpider-Verse movies.

Speaker 3 (11:57):
Yeah definitely.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
I mean, but the Spider-Verse movies are really
influenced by anime.
Yeah, A lot of people said that.
A lot of people said like, well, some of the cartoons you're
bringing up are being influencedby anime.
And then you were like, well,some of the anime you're
bringing up is being Americanstyle cartoons.

Speaker 3 (12:10):
Yeah, bro.

Speaker 1 (12:11):
Absolutely.
You know that's a street thatgoes both ways.

Speaker 3 (12:13):
Yeah, man, absolutely , and that was part of the.
It was like a gag, as always,just like this podcast.
You know, don't take us tooserious.
You know, what do we know?

Speaker 2 (12:22):
Speaking of don't take us too serious.

Speaker 3 (12:26):
Say it, say it, I fuck feet, what do?

Speaker 2 (12:27):
I know.

Speaker 1 (12:31):
Just so you know, that panel was raised in
Amphimature that's right we'regonna post the full panel on our
YouTube channel and alsoprobably on Spotify next week,
so look out for that.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
That's right.
Check me go on my fucking rantabout Sony and how they fucked
up with the universe facts.
I went in on that shit.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
The X-Men timeline?
Yeah, how Fox messed up theX-Men timeline.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
Fox just fucked everything up.

Speaker 3 (12:52):
Yeah, man, there was no structure, there was no like
how to connect them, you know.

Speaker 2 (12:56):
Nothing.
I mean, they just wasted itAgain.
The timelines got smushedtogether and then, within 20
years, these guys turned fromgreat-looking men to old-ass
people in wheelchairs.
Decrepit old men of.
Yeah, you know the.
What was gonna happen with, uh,professor x?
Nothing ever happened with that.
Yeah, blade trinity finishedcliffhanger.
Nothing ever happened with that.

(13:16):
The uh, the second fantasticfour galactic was shown so we're
still alive.

Speaker 1 (13:21):
Nothing happened with that I was actually kind of
cool, you know, like I wouldhave said something crazy and
just nothing fucking, not evenelectric.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
Had something daredevil.
Got a spinoff movie from thecameo that was made in there.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
I always forget Elektra had her own movie, yeah.

Speaker 2 (13:36):
And just nothing.
I mean just Fox dropped theball on so many levels with
their cinematic universe, but itwas weird they were doing just
individual movies and never auniverse.
I feel like that really wasn'tbrought into the fold until
later.
But anyway, Let it go bro.

Speaker 3 (13:50):
That and much more.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
And so much more.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
Check out the full panel.

Speaker 3 (13:56):
But that was our first night.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
That was our first night.
Yes, yes, it was.
What else happened, boys?
Oh, we also got a chance to doanother panel with our friends,
the Blaze Brothers yes,Iridescent Manga Special
screening on Friday night.

Speaker 1 (14:12):
We've known the Blaze Brothers for a while.

Speaker 3 (14:14):

Yes, they are.
One is the artist, the otherone is the writer, yep, and it's
their very own manga that theycreated themselves.

So they actually have voiceactors that have come in and
recorded lines for the manga andthey were showing off what's
basically a motion comicanimation with the voice actor

(14:41):
recordings in the background,and I think it was one of the
first times they showed off thefinal product.

It's really good man, Absolutely.
So it was the whole chapter one.
Yeah, it's really good man.

Speaker 3 (14:52):
Absolutely, absolutely.
Like the amount of time andeffort it takes, like I imagine
it's like staying up late, thedrawing, the process, the
connecting the dots, going back,does it make sense?
And the most, the most.
I imagine like one of the mostdifficult part, cause it's like
I know you guys do it.
None of you guys have likereaching out to events and all
Talking to my good co-host here,but because I see it from you

(15:15):
guys, I imagine how difficult Ican.
I see how difficult it is to,like you know, asking to open
the right doors.
You know it's like, hey, youknow the voice acting, hey the
music, hey the editing, who cando it better?
You know what if it crashes?
You know, I know it's allfamily and friends, but you know
I know it's difficult and itwas a great project, how large

(15:36):
is.
Because I see what you guys,you know how much effort you
guys put in and also you can see, like man, you've seen the
capabilities of what they can doand what the possibilities out
there.

We've been to a lot of how toStart a Podcast.

Speaker 2 (19:23):
We have.

Speaker 1 (19:23):
And it always like struck me kind of odd that how
to Start a Podcast.
They don't tell you how tostart a podcast.
They don't tell you how tostart a podcast, they just give
you like funny stories andanecdotes about how they got
started yeah, which?

Speaker 2 (19:33):
of?

Speaker 1 (19:33):
course I incorporate, we incorporate into our panel,
uh, but I decided to make thepanel more from the educational
trip where I give you equipment,microphones to use, headsets to
use software, to use editingtips and much more.
And, of course, I tell youabout how we got started, our
humble origins and funny stories.
Funny anecdotes you guys maylike it's usually a treatment

(19:55):
panel, but this one I had to rawdog it by myself.

Speaker 2 (19:58):
Yeah, how'd that go?
It was meta.

Speaker 1 (20:00):
Yeah, but it was good .

Speaker 2 (20:03):
How is that one?
As a matter of fact, it's notgood.

Speaker 1 (20:06):

Speaker 2 (20:08):
They're not all wet.

Speaker 3 (20:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (20:10):
Now I have to eat it, just like I did with mom.
You know, when somebody's likeoh, this tastes terrible, do you
want to try it?
The worst thing is.

Speaker 1 (20:17):
I have to swallow it Sorry.

Speaker 3 (20:22):
I can't, I don't like it.
That's funny, do you like it.

Speaker 1 (20:25):
Maybe it's just meat.
I don't know what that is.

Speaker 3 (20:27):
What is it?
What was it?
Is it mochi or was it likegreen tea?
I think it was like green tea.

Speaker 2 (20:33):
Yeah, it was like green tea.
It's got a bitter aftertaste.

Speaker 3 (20:35):
Okay, so it's not all night winters.

Speaker 2 (20:37):
That's why I kept chewing it.
I was like where is it?
I can feel it, it's in there.

Speaker 3 (20:40):
You got more of the God's one.

Speaker 2 (20:43):
We'll save that for the end, Of course.

Yes, that's right, the Iridescent Human Spirit.

Speaker 3 (24:44):

Speaker 2 (24:45):
Yeah, man, it was fun , but that was pretty much the
con for the most part right Bro.

Speaker 3 (24:49):
I think my theory is cool.
I think my theory is cool.
Yeah, man, I mean I like it alot.

Speaker 2 (24:56):
I don't mean to really cool I like the way the
setup is on this one like theway they have the show so much
for everything is really nice.
And then they have like theexclusive stuff in a different
area, and then they have thatgodzilla stuff was cool exhibit
he go show me they had theoriginal costume.

Speaker 3 (25:11):
Yeah, props, it's the godzilla.
And there was a dude there whoused to draw the gazilla posters
in the 80s and 90s, right yes,well, he's still.

Speaker 1 (25:17):
He's still an illustrator over at toho.
He still illustrates a lot ofGodzilla stuff like the
animation and the manga.
The animation and the manga.

Speaker 3 (25:28):
Yeah, homura's there bro.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
He does live drawings , man.
It's crazy to see how he drawsGodzilla for nothing, you know.

Speaker 2 (25:36):
Damn dude.
How do you see that?

Speaker 1 (25:38):
He starts with a few lines and you're like I don't
see where this is going and nextthing you know.

Speaker 3 (25:42):
You see that he starts with a few lines and
you're like I don't see wherethis is going.
And next thing, you know, yousee Godzilla, oh, he's doing the
blast.

Speaker 1 (25:45):
I'm talking about in like seconds, Like in two
minutes.
It's like all these like superdetailed Godzilla drawings.

Speaker 2 (25:52):
Yeah, he's like, and it's down here like masterpiece,
just for drawing it so much.

Speaker 3 (25:57):
I'm picturing the SpongeBob episode where he's
like so how do you draw aperfect circle?
First you draw this picture andthen you erase some details,
and then you erase some moredetails.
Before you know it, it's aperfect circle.

Speaker 2 (26:08):
It's a perfect circle yeah.
He starts off with like amasterpiece, yeah, and then he
erases from there.

Speaker 1 (26:13):
That's crazy, no, no no, that's pretty cool man.
I mean that they got somescreenings and they brought in
some of the Japanese creatorslike for Mecha Ude.

Speaker 2 (26:23):
Mecha Ude.

Speaker 1 (26:27):
Mechanical Arms, which is coming out in October.
They got the producer for theanime and one of the
illustrators from the anime aswell, and it's really cool to
hear from the actual Japanesecreators my dear friend Nokotan
for that one too.

Speaker 3 (26:41):
The one that's a brain, rob, but it's hilarious,
yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (26:44):
Yeah, girl.
Uh, it's pretty hilarious.
Yeah Uh, they had somecosplayers doing the characters
from the show on that Saturday.
Oh, that's funny, but again itwas like the producer for the
anime and then there startinglife in another world as a loner
.
That's a really long name, thatone's going to be on high dive,
it's cheaper than a cup ofcoffee, I think it's starting

(27:06):
life in another world as a lonerstarting life for a second
chance in another world.
Something, something, somethingloner, something something,
something but basically he'sgoing to take the easy guy, as
he's going to try to be a loner,but of course he's going to
take the Isekai, as he's goingto try to be a loner, but of
course he's going to build agiant harem, a hell of a squad,

(27:28):
and everybody's going to knowwho he is.
I do like that these Isekaianimes are like starting to be
self-aware.
So the character in the animeknows that he's going to be
Isekai and he knows the tropesof Isekai.
So he uses the tropes against heuses, drops against it, like in
this case.
Like he gets isekai with thewhole class and he didn't want

(27:49):
to be isekai because the wholetruck hit the class he's like I
don't want to be this guy, fuckthis, I would have to deal with
everybody in the class.
So he tries to run away and hedoesn't make it out.
Of course he gets isekai, buthe gets isekai last and
everybody had already pickedtheir abilities.
So he gets all the bunch oflike random abilities that
nobody picked and ensue chaosyeah uh, the first episode was

(28:12):
actually pretty cool, so checkthat out on high dive.
But uh, again, the japaneseproducer and what's it called?
I'm a loner starting life inanother world as an is guy loner
something, something, something.

Speaker 2 (28:23):
Don't believe us, add us in the comments I'm excited
about mecca, the animationlooked wild.
The story looked really reallycool.

Speaker 1 (28:32):
The characters were dope that one's gonna be on
crunchyroll in october, yeahlike the trailer, for that was
really dope.

Speaker 2 (28:37):
Uh, it's out there on youtube.

Speaker 1 (28:38):
Go check it out now if you guys haven't seen it so I
like that they're bringing outlike I really like this trend
that's coming up, where they'rebringing out the actual Japanese
creators that were to theStates.
And Anime Otsu is not the onlyone that's done it.
Some of the other cons haveactually brought the Japanese
creators to the States.
Anime Otsu did it last yearwith some of the Blue Lock
producer and illustrators, so Isee traders um.

(28:59):
So I see another cons do it aswell.
Tokyo x, tokyo x for the voiceactors, uh, from from some of
the japanese shows.
The voice actress for nami,that's right from one piece.

Speaker 2 (29:09):
So I really like that trying to bring in the japanese
actual uh creators yeah, herein the us man, to me that's such
a a bigger deal, you know,because it's official japanese
brand, like coming to the statesto talk about the product, the
thing you know that's reallyinfluenced people.

Speaker 1 (29:23):
This is mint ice cream ice cream.

Speaker 2 (29:25):
