Episode Transcript

(00:08):
Home me now I'm finally fulfilled.
This is what my heart's been waiting for.
Home me, now I'm finally fulfilled.
Pick me up to dance and pick me up.
Hello ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Why You Say Anime.
I'm your host Peter on today's episode, After like a seven
month hiatus, we have returned with the fan favorite, the My

(00:31):
Anime List game, where we take the most elitist, prestigious
and poorly written reviews foundon the popular website My Anime
List and turn it into a game. How it's played.
Myself, Kat, Pat and Preston will each present two shows and
each of us will have to guess the show and the score of the
review it was written for. Guessing the show will get you a
point. Guessing the score within a two

(00:52):
point range will award you a point as well, and if you give
them both, you get an extra bonus point.
Winner after two rounds gets a nice pat on the back.
You get nothing. So play along.
Anybody can play this if you want to like leave how many
points you scored in, like our YouTube comments, Spotify
comments, Discord. Let us know how you did.
It's really fun and I know a lotof people like playing along

(01:13):
with us. So gentlemen, any questions
before we start? Sure, be good.
All right, I will start things out with our first show.
Here we go round one. Fight.
Remember when you were a kid, you were watching a few epic
shows and then constantly come up with cool ideas about epic

(01:34):
characters and epic fights? Now you've grown up and you look
back on your younger self and those ideas you had.
You cringe to find yourself something, distract yourself and
forget, and hope that nothing triggers you to recall those
memories again. Unfortunately, at some point the
author reverted to the state of this kid with cool ideas,
resulting in whatever this abomination was.

(01:56):
It's exactly that, epic characters engaging in epic
fights where nothing makes senseand the outcome is decided by
whatever comes to the author's mind.
I really wanted this core to succeed.
The promise of a new anime, Original Contact gave me hope
that it is that I could fix the flaws with its mangas poorly
received final arc. Unfortunately, this season could

(02:17):
have escaped the problems of itssource material.
No amount of nostalgic callbacksor solid animation or even
impressive sound could save this.
This feels like one of the most overhyped anime in recent
memory. That being said, if you're a fan
of this show like I am, I still recommend giving it a watch, but
go into with lowered expectations or you're bound to
be disappointed. The plot is where this core

(02:39):
falls apart. Just like in the manga, the
story feels bare bones and poorly constructed.
Many characters are shoved into the narrative not because they
serve a purpose, because their presence painters to their fans.
It's bloated, overcrowded, and detracts from the moments that
could have been better fleshed out.
There is a severe lack of stakesthroughout this core.

(03:00):
Weak characters somehow survive in possible situations because
of their fan favorites, but it'scompletely unrealistic given the
circumstances. This leads to plot conveniences
and fake out deaths that kill any tension.
By this point, the stroke feels tired and predictable.
Core 3 had the potential to elevate one of its series
weakest arts arcs, but it fell short in almost every way.

(03:23):
While the sound design and occasional moments of the
animation were enjoyable, the bare bone plots, bloated cast,
and lack of stakes made a slog to get through.
If you are a fan of REDACTED is worth watching for the
nostalgia, but keep your expectations low.
The genre is action and I will say it has come out in the last
five years. Pat, you are first.

(03:48):
OK, all right, taking notes on alittle notepad here just because
I realized I would forget thingshalfway through your reviews.
So epic fights, manga source, original anime original, finish
multiple seasons it sounds like,and something of recent memory

(04:11):
which you just confirmed with within the last five years.
This person sounds like they're so frustrated with this show as
like a manga. They're a fan of the manga, but
they also mentioned the flaws ofthem.
I don't know, I was leaning likeAttack on Titan or something,

(04:33):
but I don't know if it epic likeis epic fights and like a cast
that dies or, or that feels likeit should die or die in these
impossible scenarios. Like I, I don't know if that's
quite the the, you know, the setting or the feel of Attack on
Titan. You're on the right track, I'll
say that. OK, Yeah.

(04:58):
What? What are like impossible
scenarios though? You know, like I'm trying to
think of like is is there been any death game anime recently?
Has there been any? Oh, modachi game.
I'd be shocked if any death games had three cores.
That's the big thing is that themultiple seasons makes it harder
though. And death fake outs they mention

(05:21):
as well. Oh wait, I have a guess here now
because I finally worked something out.
OK, I probably should give it toyou right?
That's how this game works it. Would help if you want to score
points if you tell me which showyou're picking.
I'm just going to keep it in my head and then I'll.
Tell you guys, I'll tell you later.
Just trust me bro, just. Trust I'll have it written down.

(05:42):
Yeah, duh. Scribbles in the right answer
after. No, I'm going to go with the
Promise Neverland and I think score wise it will be the
numbers break 1-2, I'm gonna go 5. 6 for the score.

(06:03):
OK, Preston. So did Promise, so I think
that's a good guess. But also does Promise Neverland
have 3 cores or does not? Well, see, yeah, Season 1 was a
one core I thought, and season 2was a one core.
Unless you count that power thatslideshow as a third core in the

(06:26):
last episode. I I was more thinking like core
in like a sense of like I guess arc in my head.
But yeah, that's a fairpoint too.
I like. I don't know what other shows
though either. I'm.
Not yeah, I I I have no clue either because like anime
original core like the only thing I could would think of for
that as like super long running,but.

(06:47):
I will just say just because they wrote this on the review,
it doesn't mean they're correct.I know that's.
The worst part? Just because they say it's an
animal and anime original accorddoes not mean that is true
'cause I'm almost certain they are incorrect.
I really wish that there was a second genre and not just

(07:11):
action. That probably would have helped.
I'll probably just run with Demon Slayer because you hated
the second season for reason similar to what was said.
So I'm going to go with that and3/4. 3-4 All right, Cat, you're

(07:32):
up. When you were saying, when you
were talking about it and you said it had three quarters, the
first thing I thought about was first thing I thought about
because it's at least three cores, right or.
Yeah, it could be 3, it could bemore.
I don't like the way you said that.

(07:53):
This review is specifically for the third core.
Oh, OK, gotcha. Gotcha.
So here's what I'll say. I think that the show is Fire
Force. OK.
That's a good one. I was thinking that one earlier,
yeah. And I also think that it is a

(08:18):
5-6. OK, I just got to say you got
all three guesses. I think we're good.
Like especially when you get puton the spot sometimes we're
like, what's running through your mind is like, oh, yeah,
that's a good guess. And then what you guys said,
like maybe the promised everlinewasn't the perfect guess, but
like, at least your mind was going in the right spot.
You guys were all dancing aroundwhat it was.
It was like a battle action shown in it was bleach the fount

(08:43):
of your blood work, Corforean. I was thinking a remake as well
but I was like catching. Well, not.
Even a remake. It's just I was.
It's a. Continuation.
That's why I mean like the nostalgia, the whole.
Time. Yeah, then, but like the whole
like, oh, it's finally nice to see it come back or whatever.
I was like, oh, so it's either. Well, I also thought of Trigun

(09:04):
at one point, but I'm like, I don't think that that would be
not that you said battle shonen,but it you know, it wouldn't
really fit that or does it I. Don't know, I guess, yeah.
Yeah, like I don't follow it enough to know, so yeah, no,
that's a good one though. OK, that's very interesting
here. Do they really survive?
I guess it's like Naruto where people survive that crazy things
too. Haven't watched it, good tell

(09:26):
you, but yeah. That's a good point.
Pat and Pat, you were both getting a point.
It was a six out of 10. Damn it, I thought about that
earlier but then I was like wellthis is me this has to be lower
and I wish I looked at Kat's background sooner because when
he started talking I saw Bleach and thought I.

(09:46):
Forgot to have the bleach musterback there.
Use your resources. OK, so Pat hat or tied in the
lead. Pat, it's your turn.
All righty, I'm not going to be able to look at you guys for a
second here. All right, review #1 Genre of
romance Have you gotten sick of romance anime consisting of

(10:09):
nothing but innocent teenagers blushing like tomatoes at the
mere thought of holding hands? Are you sick of seeing
relationships implying that there may or may not be a
confession in the last minute ofthe final episode and nothing
beyond that? Well, then this show might be
for you, because this anime has more romantic progress in its
first 5 minutes than most romance anime do in their entire

(10:31):
runtime, and it manages to break1-2, maybe even 3 taboos in the
process as well. This show, at heart, represents
the ugliness of human emotions and carnal base desires.
The, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the

(10:55):
thesaurus was brought out. That's really hard to say.
It was brought out for this review, I have to say.
All right, back to the review. Sorry.
It looks into the darker side ofromance and tackles matters
which romance anime basically never do.
This is not a story about how towoo your would be waifu of
choice, but rather it deals withthe issues such as how to

(11:17):
emotionally cope with having an impossible unrequited love.
Reflecting on yourself as a human being and opening your
eyes to your own flaws and considering what it must be like
for the target of your unrequited affection if you
force your own feelings on to them.
It showcases how love truly is blind and that you cannot end up

(11:37):
falling for the wrong person against your better judgement.
And you cannot just help, or youjust cannot help but desire them
anyway. That was not a good sentence,
but whatever. It is a very depressive and
heart wrenching story throughout, but also
psychological and packed to the brim with moral lessons to be
learned. And it all culminates in one of
the most unique, artistic, and legitimately fascinating romance

(11:59):
anime I've ever seen. The first thing I really like
about this show is that it does not beat around the Bush Will
sits. Most anime characters seem
scared to even hold hands with their respective crush.
In this anime, we have the leadswillingly tongue wrestling with
each other within the first 3 minutes of the first episode.
This then proves to be nothing more than a prelude of what is

(12:22):
to come, as the anime has a lot of actual sexual interaction
between numerous different characters over the course of
the story. The main question you have to
ask yourself whilst watching this anime is what is the right
thing to do in the character's respective circumstances?
More often than not, they're thelogical answer, and the
emotional answer stand in directcontradiction to one another.

(12:44):
Their heads tell them they should let go of their hopeless
feelings of affection, but theirhearts say that they have to
keep pushing forward no matter the cost.
And really, you cannot say that one option is any more or less
correct than the other. Is it acceptable to sacrifice
someone else's happiness in pursuit of your own?
And is it OK to keep feigning ignorance of reality just

(13:07):
because the current life you're living in or the lie that you
were living in feels good? There is not really a right
answer here, as regardless of what you do, someone is
guaranteed to end up miserable and unhappy in the end no matter
what. And this show showcases this
dilemma. It's a great effect.
Ultimately, what you are left with is one of the most

(13:28):
memorable romance dramas in a very long time.
And although it is certainly notan anime for everyone given its
controversial themes, I think itis also one of those shows which
if you manage to see it for whatit truly is, then there really
are not many series quite like it.
Overall, this show is probably the best romance anime I have

(13:50):
seen in the last few years, and one I will eagerly recommend
people for a long time to come as well.
All righty I. Like that rodeo?
I, I removed some of the fluff that was unnecessary, but no,
it's fun. I just, yeah, the the vocab that
they brought out was. Was quite good I.
Totally spaced out there and I didn't hear It's the vocab.

(14:14):
It's just some crazy words and agood language too, like like the
wilst was used properly and it was fun.
It wasn't the worst review I've ever read, that's for sure.
That'll be one of the later ones, but I believe it's Preston
next, right? And you mess with the order.
OK, Preston. With me, and I'm struggling here

(14:34):
because it can be two shows, in my head it's either and I don't
know if you would go with one ofthem because it's the watch club
show or not. So I'm thinking either Scum's
Wish or Domestic Girlfriend and I just have to pick in between

(14:59):
those two. I don't think you'd play that
move of picking the Watch Club show.
I'll go with Domestic Girlfriendand I really wish I could guess
8 or 9 instead of this, but 9 or10?
All righty, there you go, Cat. What about you?
I I also believe that it is either The Master Girlfriend or

(15:23):
Scum's Wish, but I'm like Preston, I do believe that you
would play that card, but then again, I don't think you've
watched Scum's Wish yet. He hasn't it.
It's only been us, not. All the reason why I say that it
would probably be scum Swish just because I I don't know if

(15:49):
this is a me putting something that I would do on you or
something that I really think that you would do on you, but I
think that you would do scum's wish and I want to say that it's
7-8. All righty and Pete, what have
you got? This was fun doing like riding

(16:11):
this train because when it started off, when you're talking
about like it doing different things and other romances, I was
thinking like the nice side. I was like, oh this is Tony
Kawa. He's talking about like when
they get married within like thefirst 5 minutes and then as you
kept going on, it's like Oh no, it's not the heart warming
stuff. He's talking about having sex.

(16:32):
I'm like oh OK it's the best girlfriend for sure.
I don't know if they have sex and scums or they do something
in scums wish in the 1st 5 minutes probably do but I I
don't know. So I'm gonna go with domestic
girlfriend just because it seemslike it's seems like something
Pat would search up. And then they also said it was
the best romance they've seen inthe last couple years but not

(16:53):
the best anime they've seen. So I'm gonna go with 7-8 for the
score. All righty, Preston, sorry, one
more time. Which show did you guess it was?
Domestic Girlfriend, 910. Thank you.
All righty, the correct answer. You guys were on the right
track. It was Scum's wish, after all.

(17:14):
Are you serious? Well played.
Well, thank. You.
I. Know trusted my.
God well played. So the reason I did that knowing
knowing you guys would also, I knew that you would know that I
would never do that. That's why I did it and then
number one and two, I did it especially knowing that Scum's

(17:36):
Wish and Domestic Girlfriend areoften recommended hand in hand
and there's a lot of connectionsbetween how they start the
taboo, blah, blah, blah. I love that your mind went to
Tony Kawa though. That's another great way like,
Oh yeah, it is different from other romance.
I I hope that the what they say tongue wrestling yeah like in

(17:57):
the 1st 5 minutes and then sex as well.
Like figured that that would take Tony Kawa off the board.
Yes, it did, but and the score that this person gave was a nine
out of 10. So I.
Believe only. Thank God, Preston, thank God.
Preston does get a point for that cat.
I do. You did say Scum's wish,

(18:18):
correct? I did.
All right, so cat gets a point as well.
And I'm sorry, Pete, you get nada, all good.
However, that was good. I'm proud.
I'm proud of that for you. I've.
Worked hard. I worked hard.
All right, Preston, what's? Your work hard.
Let me find it real quick. This show is a comedy.

(18:43):
This is like a power fantasy butin a romance anime.
Man girl is beautiful, athletic,smart, perfect, etcetera, but
she is shy. Conveniently she has a crush on
our very average main character.Isn't this a bit too
self-serving? They shoved the perfection trait

(19:04):
on a girl and made her dependenton the emcee and conveniently
also in love with him. Why do people enjoy this?
Do they try to insert themselvesinstead of instead of the emcee?
Good grammar there. Fantasizing about having a
perfect girl crush on them. There isn't really a good story

(19:24):
to be found here. Hell, there aren't any.
There aren't good interactions be found here because main girl
being shy is her top defining trait.
I hate shy characters with the passion.
They are always predictably boring.
If you ask them if they want to play video games, they'll act
shy. If you ask them if they want to
eat lunch together, they will beshy.

(19:46):
If their name gets called, you guessed it, they will act shy.
A shy character does only one thing without fail.
Try to end any interaction because they are shy.
Before fancying fantasizing about perfect girls being
dependent on you and in love with you, fantasize about

(20:07):
touching some grass please. This is boring and that is the
review. Touching some grass.
Did they remove? Did you remove anything or is
that literally word for word what they wrote?
Pretty much. I removed sentences, but other

(20:28):
than changing character names and the show name, I did not
touch any of the wording. Gotcha.
Alrighty. Oh.
Man, and it is Cat's turn. I know it's my turn and I'm
trying to think I'll probably gowith the score first.
It's probably a 3-4 OK, but the show is, I can see the face of

(21:00):
it. It's the it's the the big dude
that like puts Saran wrap on hisfriend's face to practice
kissing. I can't remember the name of
that show. That's not a lot of scary, yeah.
I think I'm pretty sure it's a comedy.
Yeah, yeah. Is that your choice?

(21:21):
I I think so I don't I'm very this is I'm out of my depth
here, dude. Like I don't know the show.
So this is what I'm going with. This is the first thing I
thought up. OK, my love story. 3-4.
OK, Yeah. OK, so you mentioned a couple

(21:46):
things. The girl's shy.
It's about. 10 times. Yeah, and you, you specifically
said it was a comedy first, but then mentioned romance in it.
So I think it's something funny to start out with and then the
romance blooms later type of thing.
I'm trying to think of shy girlswho are good at everything.

(22:06):
There's two that came to mind, but as a comedy, I think.
Did you mention there was like school involved or no?
I let me check. I might of.
I said that she was athletic, smart, perfect.

(22:27):
That was what I mentioned. Athletic, smart and perfect, but
she shy. OK 'cause I I'm thinking of two
people, one in school and one's not in school, so I'm gonna go
the safe route. If it's bait I got baited.
I'm gonna go with Comedy, Can't Communicate and 3/4.

(22:49):
OK. OK.
Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah.
All righty, that is where my mind went as well.
I, I think I can't think of any other show that would fit as of
right now at least, So I'm goingto go with Comedy San as well.
However, I don't think that his review was that that negative.
It was just more like I'm bored than it was I'm offended or I

(23:11):
think the show's bad. So I'm going to go with the the
5-6 category, but I am going comedy San 5-6.
OK, Pete, what was your other pick?
I was thinking your forger and Iwas thinking spy family.
Oh, that. Would be an interesting
interesting. So I was hoping I would trick

(23:35):
somebody with this, but unfortunately for me it failed.
It was comedy can't communicate and it's a four out of 10.
So P got three points, Pat got 1, Cat got one.
Pi was hoping you would guess high score girl because she
sounds a lot like Ono. I I don't think she's at is she

(23:59):
athletic in high score girl? That's the thing I was trying to
think. About She is trained in martial
arts. OK, I I forgot and I just
thought comedy was like also like a track athlete if I
remember correctly. So that's kind of like what put
it like that's why I was also thinking you're a forger cuz
she's like a freaking ninja. So.
More than that. She's she's a woman.

(24:23):
Yeah. I was really hoping the video
games sentence would have tricked you, but turns out it
didn't. That's a good one.
That is a good one. I'm happy I got it right.
I didn't know comedy was an athlete.
I kind of just took the gamble because I was like, well.
There's like a track and field episode and I think she does
well, but like, that's it. I think in terms of athletic

(24:47):
like. Athleticism is going.
It's the physical aptitude test that they that's the episode
where she's where she's running and does and outperforms
everyone. She's not actually a track
athlete at all. I think Bill I.
Think she's a track athlete in the manga.
Anyway, Cat, you're up next. I am up next.

(25:08):
All right, so my first review, it's a slice of blood.
Slice of blood, OK. One of the biggest draws of this
anime for me was that it was adults in an adult world not
dealing with any supernatural stuff.
It's it's a change of pace from so much to the rest of the anime
out there. They deal with real life adult

(25:29):
issues and this anime delivered that.
And as a gigantic departure fromso many other anime and Meteor
General, they don't shy away from using actual brand names.
The animation itself is very solid.
The voice acting is very good. Almost all of it is understated,
which goes to the vibe of the show.
The music, when you notice it, works.

(25:50):
I generally like it like a lot of the characters.
Two things. One I said I like.
I generally like a lot of the characters, but I like them at
an arm's length. Over the 12 / 12 episodes was
the show, which with this show, each episode feels long.
I couldn't feel any connection with any of them.

(26:11):
It's like every character was kept on arms length.
I don't think they were that that that's what they were going
for. Some were supposed to engender
some level empathy and connectedness, but for me none
of them clicked. I know sometimes the goal was
for one or more characters, but I don't is that's the goal for

(26:32):
one or more characters. But I don't think that's what
they were going for there. Everyone just seems so muted and
attached. I don't know if it's because the
anime characters are in general are over the top, are so over
the top that everyone here was normal so they came off as flat
or their ideal of sophisticated or something, but I had a hard

(26:55):
time cheering that hard for anyone. 2 The show became
unintentional comedy at certain points with how it how up its
own ass about Blank it was. Look, there's no slide against
Blank at all. But even in a show called Blank,

(27:19):
it was too much. And I wish these characters were
a little bit more in caging. And that's going to be in the
repeat. OK.
Huh. So not a whole lot to go off of
other than it's a slice of life with adults.

(27:44):
I will also imagine that they douse brand names.
Yeah, that does seem very specific.
And that seems like an anime I should know off the top of my
head that does that. Maybe it's a movie.
And a lot of times, no. Yeah, because sometimes movies
use real brand names and shows. McDonald's with Shanghai.

(28:05):
Yeah, that's what I was thinking.
But those aren't really slice oflifes.
I think you mentioned something about like making something as
well. You said something like along
the lines of even if it's its name, it's too much for the
show. That makes me seem like the name
has something to do with like something in this show like Food

(28:29):
Wars has too much food in it or something like that.
Man, I I don't really know a whole lot of slice of life with
adult cast, so I'm gonna go withDiamond.
Recipe for happiness, Pete. You're this slice of life guy,

(28:51):
you have to carry us here. It's my second favorite genre.
I don't know as much, but and I'm gonna go with, I'm gonna go
3/4. OK.
All right, Yeah, like like Pete said, all the details are very
scarce. He did miss the 12 episodes
comment though, which so I guesshe he had a good thing.

(29:16):
Good thing you guys to show anyways.
But I was. Wondering if you're going to
pick like a Shinkai movie by accident or not.
Just going off of what I know about you and like racking my
brain for a slice of life with adult cast.
I'm gonna go with my roommate asa cat.
That's a great. Guest, I really have no other
ideas. I, there was nothing really in
the review that made me think ofthat other than the characters

(29:39):
are kind of bland. I, I like them enough, though
that I wanted to keep watching, but I, they didn't really attach
to me that much. And yeah, that's my guess.
And I swear, yeah, I wish I could do a 6-7, but I'm going to
do 5-6 just to be on the safe side.

(30:00):
OK. That's the exact range I want to
do I it just sounds like the perfect 6-7 review.
Luckily I've watched My roommateas a cat recently and I don't
remember any actual brands in it, so it can't be that.

(30:20):
Yeah, damn it. All right.
So I'm happy about that. And like, I doubt this is a show
I've seen because like I'd usually notice when shows use
like Katakawa or McDonald's or like High Score Girl literally

(30:41):
had every single Bandai Namco game ever made in the 80s.
I'm going to go with gamers. Oh, what a poll.
What? Because they make games?
Or is that new game? I don't know when.
That's not yeah, that's I was gonna say Gamers is high school.

(31:04):
Well, thanks Pete. New game 5-6.
I always get those two confused.I'm very glad I did a good job
choosing this review. You none of you got it right.
Is that a good name? The anime is Bartender Glass of

(31:25):
God. Oh my God.
OK, OK. That's not a real anime, that
doesn't it? Is I want it.
Is that it used to? Be real.
It is. Oh man, see I would put that as
a drama but if it's labeled as aslice of life then that's what
it is. And it uses every single real

(31:45):
brand. That makes sense.
What was the score? Score is a. 7.
Wow, God damn it, I almost. Got it.
If we could do custom. Yeah.
Yeah, it's, it's 0, Yep, 0 point.
If we could do custom, I mean Pat would at least have one.

(32:07):
Big old goose egg. Yeah, I'm glad I choose this
review. This was I like very.
I knew that there was one thing in the original view, the
original review that I absolutely had to remove and
that was it mentioned Smirnoff. And I could not bring that in
because it would be a big clue. Yeah, that's a good, that's a

(32:28):
good removal. OK, Well, that, I mean, that's
only the first round. We still got another round to go
after the first round. I have 3, Cat has three, Pat,
you have two and Preston you have one.
So really anybody's game Bill you, I only got one out of the
three correct. That is just have to get the
bonus point though. Really anybody's game moving

(32:50):
into round two, I will let you guys choose.
Do you guys want the long reviewthat I have or the short review?
Which one's funnier? I think they're both pretty
funny. I I think that illusion.
Let's go with the short. One going longer.
I'm going to do the short one because if it's the I have to
use the long one in like overtime, then I'm going to need
you guys to. It's a tougher overtime one than

(33:12):
this one. This one's fun because it has an
edit, so here we go. Oh, even better, that's gonna
be. Great.
All right, here we go, Round 2, where all points are doubled and
then halved. OK, real quick, this one, this
one's really short. OK, the action or sorry, the
action, The genre is action. I feel like this show gets a bad

(33:34):
rap. I can understand why people
wouldn't like it but still I seeall the one ratings and I'm like
damn how you going to rate 150 episodes show after just
watching 15 episodes. The story is all over the place
but that's just how the show is.The animation is nice and it's
even better looking than some mainstream anime.

(33:55):
This is also good. I I'm not this is like the
actual grammar. This is also good.
I like the sound effects that gowith certain powers.
Characters are a little confusing and bad at first but
the story goes on they get more mature.
I am a fan of the series and I really liked watching this.

(34:16):
It's nice seeing all the characters grow up with
families. Sorry, grown up with family.
Overall, I really do like the show.
To the people who gave it one ratings, I beg you to just watch
the rest of it. Sure the characters could be
annoying at first, but isn't that why character development
exists? Question mark, I like it, but

(34:37):
hey you have your own opinions. Edit After 200 episodes the
series really picks up. Like I know me saying after 200
episodes may sound bad but jeez so so much.
People who quit before 100 don'tknow what they're missing.

(34:59):
Gentlemen, I need the show and the score.
Oh my God. Oh, I know this.
I know this. Pat, you go first.
Over 200 episodes, huh? Also if you if you are watching

(35:20):
150 episode show and you watch 15 episodes and it's not
clicking you could totally drop the show.
Like that is 100% valid if you gave it six hours of watch time
and it wasn't clicking, but hey,after 200 episodes it's bumping.
It's bumping. Apparently, all right, I well, I

(35:44):
feel like the bait answer here is like obviously like one
piece, right, like that feels like the the the bait, but
knowing Pete, I don't think he would do that to me.
I like in this scenario with now, not with One Piece at
least. So just I also was thinking that

(36:06):
Gintama maybe, although that's technically kind of split up
into seasons, so people don't really view it as like a 100
plus show. You know what I mean?
Like like when when referring tolike 1/1.
Piece you're like, I think just one series is and then it's like
the 1400 movies it has is like separate.
No, a bunch of the seasons are separated.

(36:27):
Are they by? Yeah.
Like season 1 has a bunch of episodes, Season 2 has a bunch
of episodes, and then as it keeps going on it gets less and
less episodes because they stopped doing the launch shown
in thing of just. Cramping, right?
They did do that. That's why I was saying this is
like you look at the top rated anime list and like Gintama's

(36:48):
littered all over it. Yeah, most of it's the actual
seasons, not the movies. However, I'm going to flip this
all 100% different direction here.
I'm going to go with a show that's on my plan to watch list
still that I think has just the right number of episodes or just
around that. I'm going to go with The Prince

(37:09):
of Tennis. As my answer.
I love it. And because I do think like it
described, like surely the surely that's gotta be it.
I'm I'm big brain in this way into tennis and they liked it a
lot. So I think I'm going to go 9 out
of 10 or 9 or 10, OK. Sounds.

(37:30):
Good Preston. Before, before I guess Cat, do
you have a guess? Because I know my answer no
matter what and you're going to get 3 points off of me because
I'm right the. Fuck.
No OK you're going to get 3 points because they mentioned a
few things to the 150 episodes and then the edit to 200.

(37:53):
That edit secured it in my mind because I dropped this show
after 150 episodes because I hated it and it has an all grown
up cast because it's from the previous series.
This is Boruto and this is a nine out of 10 it got it became

(38:15):
bumping because 200 episodes in,that's fine.
When they finally got back to the manga and it wasn't just
filler and that's when Kishimotocame back and started writing.
So it is that 100%. Really good.
I I didn't even think about thatlike I was thinking Naruto and

(38:37):
Shippuden, but I was like, wait,who you know, there's no way
like that doesn't make any sense.
But now I see it. I see what you say in.
All the ones as well. Because it's it's massacred what
Naruto created. All right, Cat, you're up.
I I want you to know that as youwere talking, I was literally, I

(39:00):
was literally making more, more tabs of shows that it might have
been so that I would be like, OK, this is, these are all the
shows. And I've never thought about
Bartow, but as soon as you explained it, it clicked.
It made so much sense because I remember being in some of those

(39:21):
Bartow or Bartow discussions about how the manga is OK, but
the anime is absolutely ass. So yeah, that's Bartow.
Yeah, I think if we go down to hell, we go together.
It's a nine out of 10. OK, well you are you guys are

(39:42):
all getting one point. It was a nine out of 10.
However, none of you got the show.
It was Naruto Shippud. Just kidding against Bartow.
OK. I got excited.
I was about to. Lose it.
I was about to lose it. I don't understand why
everybody's giving it a 10. I don't know.
Because the show sucks. OK, well, Cat and Preston, you

(40:06):
guys got 3 points and Pat got one.
Pat, you're up. I'm hanging in.
You're welcome. Cat.
Hanging in there, I appreciate it.
All righty I this is my second review genre of fantasy.
I used to be agnostic but this anime has turned me into an
atheist. Oh my God.

(40:30):
Seriously, look at this abomination and tell me there's
a God. Where did we go wrong?
I had just started forgiving JC Staff for One Punch Man season
2, but now my anger and disappointment, mainly
disappointment, have been rekindled.
This show is an anime about a guy being transported to another
world. You might be thinking, OK, it's

(40:51):
another one of those, but don't be hasty because there's a twist
about a boy who gets transportedto another world along with a
family member. What A twist, right?
This new world is made for them to embark on an adventure,
become closer to each other in the process.
Ergo, the protagonist and his family member are transported to
another world in order for them to reconcile and appreciate each

(41:13):
other's presence more. I know what it is, so don't get
premised. It's this.
Show I know what it is. It's this title.
Though it's an OK premise, but the execution is absolutely
horrendous, filled with cliches,insipid comedy, and your usual
harem set up. Whatever enjoyment could have
been found is lost. The plot heavily relies on over

(41:34):
saturated tropes and fanservice.The characters have no
personality of their own and their characterization relies on
the setting instead of being theother way around.
I will not be getting into the fanservice aspect of the show in
this review. All you need to know about it is
that it's probably a degenerate weebs specific fantasy.
The main cast of characters consists of your quintessential

(41:55):
unsophisticated hair and protagonist and his family
member, a Sundaray, A Lolly, andanother weird character, all of
whom don't contribute anything to make the setting interesting.
There's one more annoying recurring character who makes
garbage puns for the sake of dryand bland comedy as well.
The characters really get as banal as they can be.
The Sundaray girl is basically aSundaray girl, nothing more,

(42:16):
nothing less. The pink haired Lolly basically
annoys you with her helium infested voice.
What a way to describe a voice. It feels like no character has a
free will of their own and are just following in the footsteps
of their ancient counterparts that have been seen about a
billion of times in other anime.The lead is practically a

(42:36):
useless character as he's only used for slapstick comedy and
for worthless virgins to protectthemselves upon, and he's the
protagonist. His family member is just an
irksome heap of tits, ass, and seizure inducing voice.
Speaking of seizure inducing voice, the voice actors try
their best to produce the most painful voice they can.

(42:57):
Every character sounds like someone scratch it a scratched a
blackboard with their fingernails.
The voice acting is pure cringe.Whenever I don't like a
character in a movie or anime, Iexpress my anger on the
character as I know that the actors and voice actors are just
playing the roles they're given.But family members cringy AF
voice makes me want to punch thevoice actress in the face.

(43:19):
But then again, I should perhapsdirect my anger towards the
writer. Good self reflection going on in
this review. You know some therapy going on
in this review. He's talking it out in real
time. And this is with stuff removed
as well. The comedy is deplorable.
The author probably watched a bunch of harem and E Skye anime

(43:40):
and tried to parody them but utterly failed.
The lines are insipidly delivered with no regards to
characters emotional state. Family member always sounds
cringy. The lead always sounds like a
basic bitch. The sundry is always stuck up.
The Derry. Derry has as much personality as
a whiteboard and I really don't know how the lolly sounds
because I had to lower the volume whenever she spoke as I

(44:03):
don't have the mental or physical strength to endure her
helium infected lolly voice. The music is bland and I was
really pissed when they didn't play Sweet Home Alabama even
once. The animation is basic.
I don't even know what I expected from this show and I'm
shocked and disappointed in myself.
Mostly disappointed for having finished this show.

(44:23):
So guys, what show could this be?
Preston, give me your best guess.
If this isn't a one and two one to two, I don't know what is.
Yeah, I'm going to just go off of a message in Discord to read
out this full name. It's is it?

(44:44):
My guess will be do you love your mom and her two hit multi
target attacks? And that will be my guess with a
one to two. Got it.
All righty. Next up is Cat.
Correct? Cat, What have you got?
I don't tend to watch a lot of alot of he's a guy with anywhere

(45:05):
near incestual undertones. So my first thought went to
bless her, the master Ragnarok, bless her Reinhart, No game, no
life and and conception, but conception is conception.

(45:28):
He comes in by itself and like absolutely undermines the wait,
no, wait, no, it might be conception because he does come
in with a sibling because that was the other thing.
That's that's why I didn't thinkthat the the.
Do you say sibling? I think so, I said.

(45:48):
A family member. Yeah.
I specifically replaced it with family member because it could
be one of any part of the family.
It could be a anything, it couldbe the dog, be the family dog
for all that matters. It's he's a guy, all those guys.
But it did also explicitly say that they needed to appreciate

(46:08):
each other a little bit more. OK.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. OK.
That line that helped me be secure in my thoughts, OK.
Yeah, I actually, the more that I talk about, the more that I
that I push myself away from my choices.
I'm gonna do the same thing I did last round and I'm gonna

(46:30):
steal Preston. You got 3.
To 4 though. I felt he has to get the name
right to get the points. What number?
Did you say you love your mom and your and your and her
overpowered 2 hit inter kill power?

(46:51):
Whatever the hell. Close enough.
Close enough. And sorry, what score did you
say? 3 to 4 all.
Righty. And lastly, Pete, what have you
got? Just for the visual listeners on
my notepad and I'll show my SO you guys, you can't really see
it, but I wrote do you love her mother?
Because that's immediately what I went with after you said you

(47:12):
were specifically saying family member and not like sibling.
Because I was also thinking no game no life.
But then I was like, I don't think Jabril is a lolly.
And I'm pretty sure sort of likethe handyman person in the mom
show is like the pink lolly who sounds like she's sucking up
helium. I didn't mind your voice actress

(47:34):
though. The show is awful.
The show is especially the OVA. Oh my God that OVA is the worst
OV one of the worst Ovas I've ever seen in anime.
I'm gonna go one or two and I'm gonna go with do love your
mother and her two hit multi target attack.
All righty, so based on my quickmaths, Pete and Preston are

(47:58):
getting three points. It was do you love your or your?
It's not just any mom. Do you do you love your mom and
her two hit multi target attacksquestion mark or affectionately
or unaffectionately depending onwho you ask referred to as well
as Okasan online. I I love that name nickname.

(48:25):
It's a pretty funny nickname. Yeah, that this show stunk, and
I did rely a little bit on family member pulling the
weight, but yeah, it also was a 1.
So, Pete. I hope so after the first line.
I know, right? Yeah, I know.
They really dislike this show. So Cat, you do still get one

(48:46):
point for getting the correct show.
Pete and Preston are getting 3 each.
The OVA I have a two. It is terrible.
What is that the on send one or whatever?
It's like a beach of some sort, I think maybe.
OK, it's a beach episode. I don't know.
I have not seen it. I I remember it.
It was really bad. Yeah.

(49:07):
I don't know why I watched this show either.
I think I thought we all went. Funny.
Phrase, no. I think we thought it would be
funny though when it was first announced.
Kind of in like a. Yeah, that's why I watched it.
I mean, fair enough, but not. Because of the hot bilf on
screen. The the way that this person

(49:27):
referred to the characters was colorful, Will will say.
Suck me up, Helium. Irksome heap of tits and ass and
seizure inducing voice is a crazy crazy line.
Like I, I can't believe that this person.
Existed, Dad, you took a collegecourse in order to make a bad

(49:49):
review. Yeah, she they said that about
the mom. Yes, the mom has a great voice
actress. That's crazy.
He also said he wanted to fight them, so that's pretty crazy
too. So yeah, this guy, this guy had
a bad day and clearly watched the show at the wrong time.

(50:10):
But yeah, Preston, this time youwon't get your answer stolen by
Cat because you are going up first.
Let's hear whether or not you'regoing first.
Give your review please. OK this show is a drama and I'll
just tell you now in case you get confused later.

(50:30):
This is a sequel season review. The entire premise of season 1
was main girl being a boss ass bitch, clearing up
misunderstandings and navigatingrelationships by communicating.
And then they all threw. They threw all that away in
season 2. What the fuck kind of
misunderstanding is getting broken hearted over not feeling

(50:53):
the same? Like I get I get it that they're
like 15 and man girl hasn't had much experience with friendship
nor bromance, but she's not a complete idiot.
Whatever the writers did to build man girl character for
season 1 threw that out the window when they decided to
write her as some dumbass who doesn't think about not a single

(51:17):
thing in the world. Because there was no need for an
8 episode long miscommunication arc when the entire premise of
season 1 was trying so hard for it to not come to that point.
Did the writers think we would be feeling bad or emotional
about the whole situation? No, it just makes the audience
frustrated. The whole season was 1.

(51:40):
Main girl misinterprets what main boy says or does 2.
Her friends cheer her up by giving real advice 3.
She forgets about all of the advice and makes up the most
baseless conclusions and takes what main girl says out of
context. The show calls her dense but
it's giving dumb ass fuck. That is the end of the review.

(52:03):
Wow. I feel like we got to talk this
one out. So OK, it's a drama, it's a
second season. It's a second season where the
first season was really good andthe second season was really
bad, right? What shows have really bad
second seasons outside of The Promise Neverland?

(52:25):
I was about to say it's the. Promise Neverland.
That was my first thought. First thought as well when it
was the battery of the second season man.
The main character is a what girl?
If you want, I can get the second genre that I have written

(52:45):
down, even though I think you can interpret it from the
review. I'm assuming it's a romance as
the second. It is a drama romance, OK.
And she's solved. She's a boss bitch.
In season 1, wait. Season 1 Who's a boss bitch in
season 1 to romance the second? I have a question for you,

(53:10):
Preston and you can you can say.Yes I'll, I'll answer it.
Fuck it. Depending on how well, it might
be bad to answer. I'll answer it unless I don't.
Yeah, I realized Cat says some shit that's out of left field
and would be bad to answer. Yeah.

(53:33):
What's your mom's name? What Patricia?
I didn't actually. Need you.
That's a lie. That's a lie.
Fat. I hoped.
I hoped I. Think I know what it.
What do you say? Fuck me for like like.
What's your mom's? OK so main girl is boss bitch.

(54:04):
Boss has bitch, yes. And a second season is?
She was no longer a boss has bitch.
OK her friends would give her real advice.
Oh man I have no idea. I think the score is 3 or 4.

(54:28):
OK, hopefully going to go goldentime.
I don't know. I I don't know.
That show has one season. Also it'll be tough since the
main character is a dude. Yeah, and they're not 15.
Oh yeah, that's true. That's really bad guess.

(54:49):
When you're on the spot and you got to think of something, I get
it. It's hard.
It's hard. Not that it's hard.
Yeah, it's a valid guess for sure.
I had to break this down becauseI was having a hard time
thinking of multiple season dramas that turn into romance,
but then I realized who was giving the review and it all
came together. This is a 5-6 and I believe this

(55:12):
is the second season of Fruits Basket.
Ah yeah, I never watched this bad because I wouldn't know
Pete. How many you seen season 1?
What? I was asking Cat if he's seen
season 1 of Fruits Basket. Oh, Nope.
Good show. Yeah.
So Pete, well done. I think you and I are both going

(55:37):
to get 3 points here because I also, I had written down Roots
basket eventually there and 5-6 as well.
I'm pretty confident on the 5-6 range because you don't watch
the second season and then writea review for it unless you at
least or finish it too, you know?
You don't finish it unless you at least liked it enough to

(55:57):
finish it, you know. So I think I think anything
lower would be very surprising. I started with Inspector at the
beginning of the review because it was all about solving
mysteries or solving things. Then I was like, oh, maybe Bunny
Girl would work, but not. It's technically not really
seasons after the first one, butI do think Fruits Basket's the

(56:19):
answers. Yeah, it's or NOVAS or whatever.
So I do think it is Fruits Basket.
I did have that written down. I think I wrote it down when Cat
was talking, though. I didn't write it down before we
started deliberating. You can.
Steal my answers, it's cool. No, no, I know.
I swear. I just, I swear to God, I, I, I
agree. Like it's part of the game.

(56:39):
I just for my own sake, I did not steal it, I swear.
I handed CAT6 points and he still only got 4 somehow.
So I'll just tell you this now, It's first season was also a

(57:01):
drama romance. It didn't turn into a romance.
It was always a drama romance and it is not Fruits Basket.
What? Is it Spice and Wolf?
It is not Spice and Wolf. Oh my God, what other shows
could it be? Nisakoi.
It is not Nisakoi, that's a. Comedy.

(57:26):
The show was rated a A four out of 10.
This is the second season of Kiwi NI Tadoke.
Wow. OK, Yep, definitely not a
romance first. Definitely not.
Or definitely not drama first. No way it is.

(57:48):
That's what the charm rose on mouse.
Oh no, no, I think that's just alphabetical, but it is.
Well, yes. Well, it is definitely not a
drama first. It has it has two genres on Mal
and I figured you would interpret some romance through
it so I just gave the other one.Being no, no, for sure, it's
fine I because community OK was the other one I was thinking of.

(58:11):
I would just definitely think it's a romance first before it's
a drama, but it is a drama romance so like it's it's not
like you were wrong. You fooled me, but Cat got a
point so. Cat got a point.
He's the only one that guy that.Actually is the only one who got
a point. OK cat, you're up.

(58:31):
Wrap. It up in the final round, by the
way. I let me see what the score.
I thought you guys were going toguess one to two off of that.
It seemed like a pretty like middle of the road.
Yeah, that's how I felt too. It didn't feel like particularly
passionate either direction, youknow, at least not to me.

(58:53):
I tasted the tinge of negativityso.
OK, so this is the cat's the last review, the cat you
finished with eight points, so you're technically in the lead
at the moment. Preston, you're at, you're in
second with seven, I have 6 and Pat, you have 3.

(59:16):
I was just, I think I'm out of it boys, so.
You're obvious though, me and Preston could win it here.
Otherwise, Cat, you got the leadgoing into the last one, so
whenever you're ready, take it away.
All righty, so this show is a comedy.
Great animation won't save this comedy from absolute failure.

(59:39):
Overall, if you're looking for afast paste pop cultured infused
humor of Blank, The Strangers ofBlank or The Cuteness of Blank,
look elsewhere. I can't.
I can't say the names of the show of those shows.
Meet you, Joe. Fuck.
Wow. OK, well now we know what the

(01:00:00):
show is. OK, I got one point at least I.
Have a second second group you. Do your backup.
Please do your backup then, all right?
That's why I. I'm a guest niche Joe and two.
7-8 Niche Joe. Yeah.

(01:00:25):
That was so bad. This is This is why I every time
I edit my reviews I purposely change the names to main
character and then the show to this show.
I never keep aspects. I typically do, but I think I
think the 80. You just missed one, Yeah.
You. Might have just missed one too
because I control F it to like find it every instance of the

(01:00:47):
word. No, that's it.
We've all, maybe we haven't all done it, but we've all come
close to pretty. Close, yeah.
Other people have definitely done it too.
I feel like I've done it once during the review Once I have an
extra 1 if you need one as well.Cat still that.
Cat was supposed to bring 3 and it looks like he's Googling up
one, right? No, I've got, I've got this one.

(01:01:08):
This is another one. We've edited one.
I'm going through it and blinking out all the other
things so that don't. Run.
Run with it. And I if you guys somehow end up
tied, I can I, I have my final one so all.
Right, so the second season of Blank for sure did not live up
to the first season. For some context, I watched the

(01:01:29):
second season of the show after I finished the first season.
I did not watch Blank as. No shit sorry you watched the
second season after the first season.
Really reviewer, Congrats. Sorry, sorry, Kat, I just.
Oh no no you're, you're good. I did not watch Blank as the

(01:01:50):
basic plot had already been madeknown to us in the first season.
I think it could have been Blank, I don't know.
My reasoning for doing this was because I wanted the story to
keep on going and watch this later on, but man, I sure was
wrong. The pace of the plot from the
very start is fine, the animation, the voice acting, and

(01:02:13):
the rest is all on point. But as the plot progresses, it's
so fucking slow. I cannot stress this enough.
I mean, the plot does not move forward at all.
It is filled with unnecessary dialogue.
The characters are pondering so long over petty things only.
Filled with unnecessary dialoguewith the characters, with the

(01:02:33):
characters pondering so long over petty things, only in the
end to brush them aside, saying that they don't matter.
But then the characters thinks about another petty thing, a
problem, and the cycle starts again.
Just think about two or three episodes.
It's a session where the character, whoever's point of
view the story is being told from, wanders around town all

(01:02:56):
the time monologuing what to do about a problem at hand and then
arriving at no clear conclusion.The plot is dragged through the
mud and it becomes so boring andimpossible to binge watch
without feeling like you should go take a walk outside.
I'm sorry about being so vague but I just don't want to give

(01:03:16):
any spoilers. So in conclusion, the plot pace
is slow but it is not all that bad I feel.
In my opinion it does. It does not give all that.
Enough of the electric funds andspoiler Blake is rarely even
seen in the season, and that's the end of that's the end of

(01:03:42):
review. What's the?
Job. I legit do not know what you
said. Oh, give me a second.
The genre is mystery. Mystery.
Wait, wait, wait. What?
Yep. Well, that changes everything
that I was going to go with because I was thinking, well,

(01:04:08):
does that have a? Mystery.
Mystery because it's it's an alphabetical order, so it could
be like mystery. What's after M romance?
Half of the alphabet, Yeah, it'slike.
The right after. Pure thank you.
Thank you, Preston. I appreciate.

(01:04:29):
Something because originally I was thinking it was either going
to be Harui Sousamiya season 2 and we're talking about Endless
8, or we're talking about that time I Got Reincarnated as a
slime and we're talking about the freaking what's it called?
Well, they're at like the pantheon.
They just talk for like 6 episodes.

(01:04:49):
Yeah, but if this is a second season of a show with a mystery
as the main genre, I guess. It is one of the genres.
There are 4. Well, the genre should be what
the show is like. That is what the show is.
OK, if it's a mystery show, the aspect of the show should be

(01:05:10):
centered around this. OK.
Yeah. OK.
So if it's a I'm just even though I, I just hope that this
is just like a really poorly written review.
I'm a go with Apothecary Diariesbecause I really can't think of
a mystery show with like a second season really.
So I'm a go with Apothecary 3/4.OK.

(01:05:32):
All right, I yeah, I was a little lost until the end.
The like I was kind of like again in that, oh, is it Bunny
girl inspector or something along those lines?
Because like the I was almost leaning mystery before you even
said it. Like if I had to guess the
genre, I would have guessed thatas well.

(01:05:53):
The wandering around town made had me thinking of like, yeah,
the like Bunny girl or a guy Rueas well.
Yeah, mystery. I don't think Origiro would call
itself a mystery, like not at all right, like I would hope
not. So then I kind of stumbled into
a probably a wrong answer, as we've proven throughout today.

(01:06:17):
I think it's RE0 because they mention multiple seasons and
then they also mention that a certain character or blank is
absent for most of the season. Oh, I forgot you said that.
And there's a lot of people thatget stuck.
There's a lot of and, and the they say that, oh, it feels like

(01:06:43):
nothing happens for a few episodes.
Lots of talking what happens in Rezero, the same shit.
It's Groundhog Day over and overagain.
So I think that I think I here'sthe thing though, Pete, based
off everything that we've done today, I'm going to be wrong.
I think. I think it's a 5 out of a 5 to 6
range as well, because it soundslike this person liked the show

(01:07:06):
and you don't want to review bomb a bad season of the show
that you like. I would think at least.
So I'm going to go 5 to 6, but I'm probably going to be wrong
about that too. Preston, what's your answer?
Fuck if I know walked around town character was missing so

(01:07:28):
like can't be Harrow he even though Harrow he's like has a
mystery genre. I know it does, 301 is a good
guess but also I would think like fantasy would be it's its
main genre. It if it's 30 it should be

(01:07:49):
fantasy. It should be and like walking
around town. Oh that's so fucking weird.
I hate mystery. I can never guess mysteries.
I have no clue. 5-6 and I'll go RE0.

(01:08:24):
I'll just piggyback off a pat 'cause I have no clue.
I got a big back. I'll carry ya, don't worry.
OK, instead of giving you the exact answer, I'm going to
reread the second the second paragraph.
For some context, I watched the second season after I finished
the first season. I did not watch Necco as the

(01:08:44):
basic plot had already been known for it's.
Monogatry. It's monogatry.
Oh, yeah. OK, OK.
That's fair. I like to glad that.
You've oh, you cut out Necco. I was like, if you have said
Necco, I would have got that makes more sense.
He did cut it out. Yeah.
He he said Blank. I didn't watch Blank.
That makes so much. Yeah.
And I was wondering if it was something along those lines too.

(01:09:05):
But that's why I said OV0 has like the ova right between the
two technically that or the OR was it a movie with the white
whale? What was No, the white whale was
the. 2nd That's the end of the first season.
Oh, it is. That's right, It's the first
season. OK.
I mean, that's good. Baki Monogatry makes perfect
sense. Yeah.
It does, yeah. And the reviewers rating is A5

(01:09:27):
all right. So me cat tide.
You and I are tied. Oh baby.
Oh. Yeah, yeah, you.
Guys are, yes. OK, so just we'll get to the
finals here in a second between Cats and Preston.
Pat, you got dead last. You got 4, I got 6.

(01:09:50):
So Cat and Preston, you guys aregoing to go into the overtime.
I'll go first. If you guys both get it wrong,
then Pat, you'll do yours. Make sure you write it down.
Preston doesn't have a camera, so he will answer.
I'm Adm Pat. Oh, do you want to do that?
Yep. Yeah, I'll give you time to
think. And then you'll say your answer,

(01:10:11):
Cat. You'll write down your answer
and your score. You're not allowed to change it
after the fact though. You can DM me Preston too for
validity I guess, if that makes sense.
Yeah sure. And then read it out after.
I guess that was all. My point was just to.
OK here we go. Sounds good.
Overtime between Cat and Preston.
The genres are Superpower and Action.

(01:10:34):
Sometimes I don't get anime fans.
If you pay attention to the sales charts, you'll see that
this show current sales numbers are going toe to toe with Shira
Bako, AKA the most acclaimed andimportant anime series in recent
times. And that just baffles me.
You can tell that this review might be a little years old.
I mean Keo Annie's own beautifulanime with believable characters

(01:10:55):
and motivation, depth to its story, and importantly of all
actual changes the characters have to overcome in the same
season around the same time. And yet it's sold decently,
which is below the studio's usual standard.
OK fine, maybe this anime has a swanky soundtrack, maybe it's
being directed by one of the most dynamic TV directors in the

(01:11:16):
current market, maybe it's one of the most unique and
eye-catching premises that come out of the market in years.
But this on a whole is just not the least bit good and I don't
understand why anyone is trying to convince me otherwise.
Unfortunately, the manga decidedthat his new work that this show
would be a generic slice of lifestory combined with Bachanos

(01:11:37):
tone. And you know what that means?
Let's do absolutely fuck all while trying to cover up the
fact that this show has a lot ofenergy.
Honestly, I'm still racking my brain regarding who contributed
more to this show's problem, butto make no mistake, neither the
production team nor the originalwriter helped me in making the
show good. The phrase nothing interesting

(01:11:58):
happens is overused in general, let alone by me, but I can't
think of a better summary of this show's problems aside from
it being eloquently and eating nothing but a giant bag of
Eminem's for lunch. Sounds appealing at first, but
until you become sick and even in 10 minutes you've got 5-6 of
the bag still to go through. The show does not live up to the

(01:12:19):
hype surrounding it pre or post release.
Well be fair and admit that not even Cowboy Bebop would have
live up to the amount of jizz that is covered in before this
is airing. All the show's good traits are
from Matsumoto's dynamic direction to the adding credits
are outnumbered by the shit ones.
Namely the fact that there's so much about these characters and

(01:12:40):
settings that's ripe and good for storytelling, and yet it is
wasted on predictable humor, shell characterization, and
pointless world building. Also, dear God does the action
suck. A big fat one.
It's completely 1 sided and keeps flavoring or favoring
stylization over interesting choreography.

(01:13:01):
The finale in particular avoiding to scratch the action
loving itch of mine when it comes to take them down with a
bunch of faceless. I'm not going to say that word
because it could be. I can't believe that that got
through a bunch of face like possible racial slur that stood
perfectly and still and took it from the top.
All of this horrendously boring and overly long philosophical

(01:13:22):
dialogue. OK, OK.
I'm gonna give you guys like 20 seconds if you have any.
Questions. I think I know the show.
I think I know the show, I just don't remember its name.
Do. You want me to repeat any
sentences? I can do that, but I'm gonna
give you guys about 20 seconds. Can you repeat like the sentence

(01:13:47):
before the Bacano one and then the Bacano 1?
Sure, unfortunately the Magaka decided for his new work that
this show would be a generic slice of life story combined
with Bakanos tone. And you know what that means?
Let's do absolutely fuck all whilst trying to cover up the
fact that this show has a lot ofenergy.

(01:14:08):
That being said, the genres are superpower and action.
Yeah. OK.
OK, OK, OK. Cat, have you written down an
answer and a score yet? I've written down a score.
This is going to be my I'm. Going to need.

(01:14:31):
I'm going to give you like 10 seconds now I'm pressing you got
your answer and score. Yep, I just sent Pat it OK for
Phil duty. Cat, write down your final
answer. Yep, it's there.
OK, pressing go first. OK, so I was stuck between

(01:14:55):
what's the is it tiger and Bunny?
Is that what that show's called?Netflix show Yeah.
OK, I was thinking that for a while, but then Bachana was
mentioned and I maybe you just left it because, like, it's a
comparison and not actually the same.

(01:15:18):
But I think Tiger and Honey's also an original, so it doesn't
work. I think this is Durara.
It's the same manga as Bakano. I know that for a fact.
And I'm gonna guess 1:00 to 2:00.
OK, Cat, what'd you write down? Oh I so there's a lot of this is

(01:15:41):
all backwards, but Yep, I wrote down Blood Blade Battlefront and
3:00 to 4:00. That's a that's a really good
guess, Kat, But you're, well, no, actually.
It's not Keo Annie, is it? Yeah.
But I like to guess. Isn't Cheryl Baco, Keo Annie?

(01:16:01):
Is that why I was mentioned? No, I think Keo Annie was airing
in that season. OK, so that's why they.
Said that like. Yes, yes.
OK, well your guys's guesses arein and I am happy to inform that
one of you is winning based off guessing the score correctly and

(01:16:23):
the show correctly. It was Blood Blockade
Battlefront and it was a three out of four.
Cat Cat, you got the dumb by man.
Let's go. You get you're on the podium.
Do you have any final words to your adoring fan?

(01:16:46):
Cheat. It's part of the game, yeah.
This cheater was looking at Mao the whole time.
I I wasn't looking at reviews, Iwas just just having like.
Looking at the show, it seemed, oh, this show has these genres.
That's cheating. We'll.
Discuss it afterwards, it's whatever, it doesn't matter.

(01:17:08):
I don't think I lost because of that.
I just lost. Yeah, no.
That's true too. I was thinking that as well.
Because the the thing with following people behind is they
could be wrong and you could getcaught up in whatever the person
was saying. But Cat, congratulations man,
you won. Thank.
You I was not expecting. You I mean you got you got the
show right you got the score right.

(01:17:29):
It worked out perfectly. So that is now review game 8.
Congratulations, the cat. I have you won before?
Is this your first dub? Second, I don't.
Think so, All right. I think, I think I might have
tied before. We tied before.
That's what happened. I think I and.
Then I read Pete's review. Yes, you did.
You did slow loop. I remember that well gentlemen,
