 to a very improvised, hopefully it works. It's been a rough Friday, and I am physically and mentally exhausted, but I already made the commitment and I wrote that I wanted to go live with all of you just to hang out and answer any questions. I was going to do some weeb style gaming, but I'm just not up for it tonight. I'm going to try and stream tomorrow night when I'm feeling refreshed and better physically, because I've been awake since five in the morning, and I worked till six in the afternoon or something like that or five. And I don't know if you guys can see, I got a cool little new bruise here as I bumped my head and hit a handlebar thing in the bathroom, so that really hurt. And it just gave me the massive headache for a while, but I'm feeling a lot better now, but Jesus, look at that. Got a new scar. Thank you to the chat for chiming in as always. Let's see if this works. If I click on James's comment, it's not showing up. Okay, okay, give me a second here. We're live. After I'm done with this, I'm probably going to take this stream down or just set it to private. This is just me goofing off. I have a new alert thing here where it should go like this. Okay, so if I hit default, oh, so if I hit properties, not properties. So if I hit, I don't know. There was a setting that I learned about where like StreamYard, I can highlight your comments. I don't want to use StreamYard, honestly. I like using it for Omnibros, Omnibus Collector's network and all that stuff, but not for my channel. And kind of like working on OBS for the first time, it's a little bit random because I have a lot of buttons here and gadgets. And I only have one monitor, one keyboard, one mouse. I'm working to get a second monitor so I can have the chat and do the gaming thing or whatever. But right now I have a million things open here and I have an overlay that if I click on the chat comments that you're seeing over there, they show up down here, which I thought was really cool. I literally spent a month last year looking that up and I finally figured it out and I've been waiting for this stream so I can use it. And I have the friggin' overlay here. Live chat, okay, oh my gosh, okay. If I click on this thing, hopefully I'm still live. Properties, you know, whatever. I'll figure it out next time. It's live, I don't want to ruin it. So thank you everybody for tuning in. Thank you so much. Now let me try again if I, I don't know if I'm gonna lose the audio, hopefully not. Give me one quick second while I switch to this little scene here. So you should still hear me. You still, oh I got it, I got it, I got it, I got it. Nope, that's not it, I bet. Okay, so it should be working. There it is, yes. Okay, we're in business. We are in business. Okay, okay, we're in business. Does it show up? Okay, okay. Live chat, properties, discard, okay. Oh, this is frustrating, okay. There it is, there we go. Oh, I see what I did wrong, my bad. I had it set, not visible. There you go, all right. So if I move this here, I can just do this. I don't know why the comment is all bunched up like that. Well, that's random. Oh, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know. Got it. I was actually my doing, I believe, right? I'm doing all right, Travis, thank you, thank you, buddy. Just Mason, thank you for joining. See, this is what I wanted to do. Like a stream yard, but not stream yard, but better. And yeah, so I have two books to show you guys today. Take your time, thank you. There's a slight delay from us seeing the comments, but not a huge one. I figured, yeah, that tends to happen. Happens with stream yard too, but I think here's more evident because it's a little bit more high end. So the idea was that even though I plan on making my Twitch debut on, I don't know, next month, I don't know when that's gonna be. I've just been super busy. And the idea was to make my Twitch debut sooner rather than later. I still wanted to live stream on my channel occasionally, maybe like twice a month on Friday nights because I like the whole TGIF vibe. And the idea was to stream anime, if I'm casually talking with you guys, maybe I can do some visual novels. I can finish that friggin' Doki Doki Literature Club, that James wanted me to finish because I hear great things about it, but I wasn't too impressed from what I played a couple months ago, but I do wanna finish it just to say that I did. So I can finish that while I chat with you guys and if I pick up something or discuss a movie or a comic or whatever, sort of bring that back to this channel. Not necessarily do content for graphic novels and comics because I'm sort of steering away from that on the channel because algorithm and all that stuff, I'm really making a push for this to be a cool spot for live hangouts and just manga discussions and stuff like that. But on these hangouts, I can talk about the books that I've been reading and all that stuff. So I think that would be really fun. So I promise that I will work on two video or three videos that have been looming over my head since, gosh, one of them was summer or fall of 2020 and that was finishing my Fable Fridays videos. They're not gonna be Fable Friday titled, but I am gonna talk about the remaining Fable books on these streams pretty soon in the springtime. And I promised you guys a Sailor Moon anime review and I still wanna do it, sort of like a retro review. And I never did the Tokyo Ghoul video that I promised. Those are three things that are still looming over my head that I am ashamed that I have not been able to put out yet on the channel. Ooh, more comments, yay. The artist formerly known as Jesse Sailor Moon. Thank you, Muddy. Thank you for joining. Aspect ratio, how do I fix the aspect ratio? I don't know how to fix it. It's all messed up. I need to work on that. Dang it. Ashley, thank you for joining. Getting ready for work, but thought I'd say hi. I truly appreciate it. Thank you so much. Kite 562 for 562. Long time no see. Thank you everybody. Thank you so much. It's really cool to have sort of a niche within a niche community here that view wonderful people. I love every single one of you. I'm just gonna say it now, I'm a little bit loopy because I don't know if you can see this little banger right there, bang my head a couple of hours ago and it still hurts, especially when I frown. James is talking about something really, really cool that the whole internet is talking about and I can't highlight it properly, but you can, no, that's not what I wanted to do. Anyways, I did get it. Here's Pokemon Legends Arceus. I do have it. I haven't started playing because I was busy all day and when I got home, I just wanted to relax for a bit and debate if I actually wanted to stream the game or not on Twitch, but I'm not gonna do it because it's like a cool story that I wanna experience it myself. I don't know, I'm weird like that. So we'll see what the hell I end up streaming for the first time because I tried last month, December and failed spectacularly. I did like three broadcasts at very random hours. The audio wasn't working. My microphone was muted and you could only hear the game or the game was coming through the microphone or something like that. I was playing Metroid Dread and I have no idea how to fix it. So I've just put that off and I've been just, I'm focused on making review videos and all that stuff. I really found a nice groove of things and so I'm really excited about that. That's one of the things I wanted to mention on this video, on this stream. Yeah, so I think I found a cool little schedule for me for the time being for four videos. I tend to do weekly content, not daily because that's too much work for a small channel right now, so weekly content, couple anime videos, hauls. I got some sweet, not unboxings, but like overviews of books and I'm gonna show you one today or the cover of it. I posted it on Instagram if you guys wanna check it out. So that's sort of what I'm doing and reviewing all my physical manga series, not each volume, cause that would be insane. I started the year off with random selections like The Brave Tuber, Tropic of the Sea, and I'm currently reading a couple more books. I promised, cause last year I finished reading a couple cool series like Doro Hedoro or what was the other one I finished? I'm up to date on the Gantz Obna Bus releases, but I don't know if I wanna make a video just yet cause I've never read the full thing and I'm up to date with Berserk, so I wanna make a video on Berserk. Basically I wanna cover as many books as possible on the channel. Your top 10 anime of 2021 was amazing. Thank you so much, sir. I really appreciate that comment. Thank you. Have you seen Nana Sentai's releasing a steel book for it soon? I only watched a handful of episodes. I gotta be honest, I never finished it and I'm excited for that steel book, but not at the price that they're asking for right now. I'm gonna wait a little while and see if it drops down a few bucks by Black Friday season. Hopefully it stays in stock or in print or maybe if it sells out they do more printings of it. Fingers crossed. But I am interested in owning it. Have you had a chance to read Deserter? Junji Ita's newest short story collection. Funny thing, if you guys follow me on Omni Rose Live, I was joking that I placed an order early December and I never got it until now. It finally arrived yesterday. And when I was looking through it, I had this epiphany where for the first time in a while I completely blanked out on a book that I was hyped about and never ordered Deserter. So I'm like, I'm missing something. What am I missing from this order? And I kept looking at the books and then I went back on the website. I'm like, son of a bitch, I'm missing the Junji Ito stuff. So I don't have it. I'm waiting for February to do my monthly order and I'll add it to that. So I don't have it. However, I still need to review Sensor, which I did read. Got some interesting things to say about it. Probably gonna be some different hot takes compared to some other reviewers. And I love Cygnus. I still need to review that. So I will try and post those soonish in next month or in March. It's just a lot of stuff. Plus I'm watching a lot of anime, as you guys might know. I do seasonal reviews on all the anime that I watch. And right now it's a pretty weak season. Honestly, there's like five shows that I recommend watching. I can tell you right off the bat. Demon Slayer, which is ending unfortunately. A tag on Titan Final Season. My Dress Up Darling. Ranking of Kings. And what was the other one? Let me look it up real quick on my Annie list. The fifth one that I recommend would be of the new ones. Sabiqui Bisco is the other one I recommend. I really been enjoying that. It's super crazy and awesome. My favorite manga author I would like to meet in person. Rumi Gotakehashi is one of them. She's awesome. Junji Ito is just a phenomenal dude. I love all his interviews and I follow him on Twitter. Thank goodness for Google Translate that I'm able to read what the hell they're typing. I tend to follow a lot of random Japanese accounts from artists, to cosplayers, to mangakas, to game developers. I just follow random people. Ooh, Teasing Master Takagi-san. I forgot. Is that streaming on Netflix or not yet? So, favorite manga author, yeah. Ito Takahashi. And ooh, my boy, Naoki Rusawa. He's a YouTuber, you know? Same with Asano. He does the YouTube thing with the live streams, but Udu Sawa has a really cool channel that I recommend. Really fun. Gives me an excuse to meet him, right? Cause we're in the same field. Only he's more talented by drawing cool stuff. I used to draw back in the day, like back in the ninth or 10th grade. And I was not to toot my own horn, but I was pretty damn good. And I just forgot to keep going and just lost all talent. Now I can probably do stick figures. Oh, High Dive is airing it. Well, AMC, right? AMC was the one that bought High Dive. Hopefully they do something with it so I can check it out. Each seat, right? Cause I remember Netflix. I watched one of the seasons on Netflix if I remember correctly. For me, it'd probably be Akira Toriyama. Love for him to sign my copy of Chrono Trigger. Dude, that would be amazing. Nice. Toriyama's awesome. Hell yeah. Also, I have a question for you guys in the chat. It was pretty interesting. So I got a massive haul that I'm working on, stuff since early late November that it's been piling up. And when I record my haul videos, you might have seen my videos where I do like an over the top shutter, whatever it's called and narrate what I'm doing with that and showing off the Blu-ray with a trailer. If it's the manga, I'll flip through the pages and talk about it, anime Blu-rays, et cetera, et cetera. I ended up, and I'll spoil it now cause I'm gonna mention it in the video, is it bad that I ended up picking up the, and this is pretty controversial because of the original creator. I ended up picking up the live action Blu-rays for the, what? No, no. No. Sorry, homie, you can't. Unless it's like, nevermind. So, let me a second here, there we go. So I got the, what was I saying? The Blu-rays for the live action Kenshin movies based on one of the most disgusting manga creators of all time. So yeah, Kenshin's part of my childhood, I can't deny that. And I really wanted to check them out and they were on sale during the right stuff on the holiday sale. I'm like, ah, screw it, whatever, I'll get it. I don't care. They were like 20 bucks. And I remember when one of those movies was going for like 200 on eBay for whatever damn reason. So I picked them up, brand new. And I was a little mad cause only one of them came with a slip cover, the other two were reprints. So no slip covers. And I love slip covers on Blu-rays. So now I'm thinking like, do I even bother talking about that stuff? Cause I know people, myself included, do hate the manga creator, but I do recognize that a lot of people are working on that and those movies are awesome and they deserve to be highlighted and talked about and there's a love that went into creating those movies and it's just based on the dude's work. So I don't really, myself personally, I don't see a problem with that. Same with the anime. I have the anime, almost all of it, on DVD. And I still enjoy it, even though I haven't seen it in like 20 friggin' years or something like that. Those Kenshin live action films are actually really solid. One of the rare times a live action anime adaptation film is good. Yes, from what I, I looked at the back and the little trailer of it and I was really impressed. I'm like, it looks to me. I'm pretty sure that that's what everybody's saying. They finally got it right because a lot of the Japanese live action anime adaptations are so weird and wonky looking that they just look off. But this one looks like, damn, this looks awesome. Like one of the still shots that I saw of Shishio looked really impressive, so I'm excited. And it's a shame that we don't have the other two movies, right? Because there are five total. So it'd be cool if we get those two released as well. Kenshin movies are good. The last two movies are on Netflix. I have access to a Netflix account, but I don't like to use it. It's a friend of mine's and I just passed it on to my mom and she's the one that uses Netflix that way. I don't really care for Netflix. It's a question. Can you separate artists from the art? It's really difficult. It's really difficult. I'm not gonna say I have the perfect answer for it, but if it's an older thing that was made, I don't have a problem consuming it, but if it's a new thing that said creators are doing, I'm not in any shape or form promoting it or getting it and stuff like that. That's just me personally. But yeah, I can totally separate the artist from the art. Some of my favorite musicians are highly controversial. So I don't mind. What's your favorite US? What? Oh, why did I highlight that? Oh gosh. Dude, my dude, come on now. I don't care. This is about manga and I confused your name with somebody else. Yeah. Sorry about that gang. This live stream will probably be unlisted after we're done. Who would you say is your favorite anime home video company? Mine's Disco Take Media easily. Disco Take's awesome. I don't have a lot, but they're sort of the boutique cinema of anime and I'm really enjoying that. I hate, and I don't use that word often in this channel at all. I think it's a word that people throw around carelessly. Don't, yeah, no, no. Don't worry about it, buddy, but the stream is not about that stuff. So I appreciate you tuning in. Stay safe out there, man. But that's not what we're doing here. We're just talking about anime and manga and geeky stuff. Not about whatever it is you wanna talk about. Sorry. There are other channels for that and you can go check them out and all that stuff. Sorry. Tolga, thank you for joining, buddy. So, yeah, Disco Take's awesome. What was the other one? Funimation has its issues. I can go on for days talking about them. I wouldn't like to make a video about that stuff, but it might come off as rude and obnoxious or pretentious and that's not what I want. I just wanna make an honest critique of the labels and normal releases, because for example, Antiplex, they're notoriously terrible with their pricing and I've talked about it. I sort of boycotted myself and I no longer support the business because of the ridiculous prices. I get it that some licenses might be super expensive but it gets pretty ridiculous at times when for example, The Promised Neverland, Kaguya-sama Lovers War sells at work and Rascal, Bunny, Senpai or whatever. All four of those that I mentioned have around 11 to 13 episodes each and they only come with a very strong chipboard box, usually a soundtrack CD or maybe a booklet but the booklet is super flimsy and it's only like maybe 20 pages and yet the prices for all four are wildly different. Like Kaguya-sama is 100 bucks or Rascal, Bunny is 100 bucks, Kaguya will be 110, Promised Neverland is 130 and I think sells at work is 115 or 120. I don't understand why the need for that at all. Why are we doing that scalping on prices? Lupin, Part One of Blu-ray with an English sub, very excited for that, yes. I need to get on that. I don't collect the, I don't wanna collect a loop on the third movies but I do wanna own the TV seasons, the parts. I only have Part Four and the Fujiko Mine OVAs and the movies and all that stuff but I do wanna get at least five and parts one and two. I don't know about three cause I didn't like the pink jacket era. Annie Plaks Makes Me Cry, I'd really love to have Nisa Koi, same here. There are a lot of Annie Plaks releases that I really wanna own. Kaguya-sama is one of my all-time favorite comedies and I don't have it cause it's too expensive. I mean, yeah, I could save money and buy it but I can't justify spending that much in a series when Disco Tech releases Konosuba for 30 bucks and that's a new series. There's a lot of people who make the argument, oh, then why don't you just like, you can't compare the two cause Disco Tech's releasing older stuff on SD on Blu-ray disc or whatever but no, they have some new stuff like Konosuba for example. They released the full series and it only cost me 40 to 50 bucks and it's a great transfer on Blu-ray and it has the OVAs and all that stuff. Why is Annie Plaks charging 200 bucks for me to get the series? Also, they released, what's it, last year? I think it was either last year or late 2020. They released Persona 5, the anime adaptation on Blu-ray. I believe that was 300 to 400 bucks and everybody was just laughing and mocking the post and people, there were a lot of odd people there defending their prices and getting angry when people were criticizing the company which we have every right to do so and they have every right to criticize other people so I totally get it but it was just a really weird environment. I don't know. River, thank you for joining. Little chat's a little buggy here. Sorry about that. If you have time, check out the new Netflix series. All of us are dead so far. First three episodes are very good. It has a Japanese horror vibe. All of us are dead. I'm gonna have to check that out. The third is so well done via Disco Tech. Yeah. Actually, I do have the part for the dubbed edition. I was dumb because they wanted separate releases in Japan. They didn't wanna do both dub and sub together and I was not gonna double dip on the same thing. I'm like, nah, I'm the same series. No, thank you. I'm fine with a dub because I actually enjoyed the dub for it. Was it Tony Oliver doing Lupin? I think it was Tony Oliver. He does a good job. Gio, when it comes to Funimation, I can't stand how they split up a season into two parts. I'm lurid like it's 2008 only to release a complete season like a year later. I was so pissed off that I spent so much money on the Dr. Stone Blu-ray sets, which I have somewhere up there. That was a lot of money because the first set was 48 bucks on ride stuff and the second one had the big box and all the extra goodies. That was like $63. That's a lot of money. And then this year, they announced a freaking steelbook of the whole season for less than 40 bucks. That, no. And now they have Stone Wars, the second season for Dr. Stone, because it's only 11 episodes for $63 with the limited edition. Why is that 63 limited edition? And the other one was split into two. I get it, 24 episodes, but you see where I'm going. Oh, why am I highlighting all these comments? I don't know, man. I'm not a huge fan of Dragon Ball. Sorry about that. I'd like to make this the year, an anime year for me. Last year I got into manga and I think I have a good idea of what I'd like there. Thanks to your channel. Thank you so much. I appreciate that. For anime, I did two videos where I recommended new shows to check out for like a starter pack video. I want to bring that back and talk about more, like I do a Halloween edition with horror of anime, or do another one just because of, just with a slice of live shows. Maybe I do another one with best sports anime and stuff like that. So I want to bring that to the channel. Okay, there we go. Okay, so yeah, the pricing on anime is pretty insane. So I kind of want to do a little deep dive video to say all that stuff while still being respectful because I know other companies, they have different policies and all that stuff. And sometimes they have no control over it. Sometimes it's the licensors and that's what they demand and that's what they do. I totally understand that. I'm just, I want to point out the differences so people are informed because it's pretty silly. Like for example, Sentai. Sentai has a couple of blu-rays that like the Nana anime, I think it's what, $80 or something like that. It should not be that expensive for a steelbook. And it's a blu-ray, I get it, but like, no. I'll just wait for a sale and get it for, I don't know, 60, 50 bucks or something like that. Ooh, here's a good one. What's an anime series that affected you emotionally? Glad, Grape of the Fireflies and Violet Evergarden got me. I still haven't watched Violet Evergarden and I know I'm going to cry watching that because it's such a, I know the premise of it. So it's the type of show that it'll just break my heart. Klannad, first one was all right and then after Story just beat me to the fricking ground with the feelings. Grape of the Fireflies is one of the few movies where I'm never going to watch that again. I only saw it once and that was enough for me. That was way too depressing, dramatic, sad and beautiful at the same time. I'm good with the one screening that I had for it. But yeah, another emotional show that I could add. Another emotional... Let me check my list here. One of the main issues I have is I forget stuff. When I'm live, people ask me and I just blank out. Anime list. The hell, what do I have as my favorite shows? Emotionally affected. You know what, you know what series affected me and it's going to be a random choice. You guys are going to think I'm weird. Recreators. I was emotionally invested in that show and certain characters that by the dust, I felt that. I was really sad about that, you know? And it's a fantastic show. One of my all-time favorite shows. I also need to do that video, like my favorite anime of all time, like Top 10 or something like that, because I know people like lists. I do too. I always enjoy your channel the most. Thank you, buddy, thank you so much. I really appreciate that. It has a good balance of anime, manga games. I had to cut back because I just like to talk about everything. If you guys follow me on OmniBros, I love talking about media, like news and comics and books and TV, movies, games. I love it all, but I can't have that on the channel because it's just going to break the channel apart because people are expecting anime and manga content and here I am talking about Spider-Man and the No Way Home or whatever. No. But I do make the most of it. I try my hardest. How did you watch Berserk then? I only watched the 90s Berserk. And even though it's brutal, same with the manga, I've read all the manga. I own it all. Even though it's super brutal, it's still a dark fantasy story. It's not like Grave of the Fireflies, which could have easily happened in real life and it probably did. And it's a very heavy, real subject. Whereas Berserk, I can turn my brain off and just enjoy the themes of Berserk and the action and the hero with the PTSD searching for acceptance and friends and all that stuff and his fight to get Koska back and all that. I still can't muster up the courage to watch Grave of the Fireflies. I say watch it, maybe do something else while you watch it so it's not as harsh, but I think everybody should see it at some point because to me, at least, it's one of the best animated films. Far none. It's just extremely sad. But watch it for the animation. Go for it on a more critical level. Speaking of insane prices, remember that $600 Legend of the Galactic Heroes release? Right, that was absurd. I think it was more, I think it was 800 bucks. Maybe. And another thing that annoys me about anime pricing is that when they do limited editions, I don't care about art cards because I have no way of displaying or what's the word I'm looking for or showing them off or storing them on a different place other than the extras box that comes with the blu-ray. I can't do that. Also key chains, how many key chains do I need? A lot of these sets offer key chains. I'm like, how many keys do you have? I only have like 10, come down. I only need one key chain and I currently use a Zelda one that a friend of mine gifted me a while ago. There's that, the lenticular stuff, it's okay. I love the art pamphlets or when it's like chunky little art books, those are really cool. I like that a lot. Just give me art books and we're done. I don't care about the acrylic stands or the cardboard or the key chains. I'm good with that. Ashley, thank you so much. We'll watch the replay. Have a good night. Have a good night, stay safe out there. Nice way of logic, I got depressed but still loved it. Yeah, you know, I just like when you play or you watch a really dark movie or play like a Dark Souls game or whatever, it's brutal but you can switch off your brain because you know it's dark fantasy and it's about monsters and stuff that will not happen in real life whereas Brave of the Fireflies being World War II and then atomic bombing and all that stuff. It's a lot more, it's a lot darker to me. The Klan visual novel is awesome. It's just really long to me. 70 hours, oh dude, I wish I had 70 hours for a visual novel. I wanna get into them, honestly. I had Fate Morgana, is that the name of it? I'm really mad that last year I did not order the limited run version of the game. The physical edition and now people are asking like 80 to 100 bucks on it, on eBay. I really missed the train on that one. The majority of the editions are kinda buns. I really only buy them for series of absolute love. Your name is one of my favorite ones. Oh yeah, I thought you meant my name for real. I'm like, oh thank you. My name is one of your favorites. Your name is one of my favorite limited edition sets. That's a good one. 4 a.m., my dude, get some sleep. You can watch me later. Yeah, yeah, go to bed. Sleep is important, guys. Don't be like me. Played the Klan visual game on Steam years ago. Didn't know it was an anime. Yeah, the anime for that was amazing. I still have a funny memory. When I was watching the first, I think it was after story. And I was watching the episode and I was tearing up watching something. I don't remember what scene it was. Somebody either was sick or hurting or childbirth or whatever. And because it was in Japanese, there were a lot of random noises from the speakers and somebody walked in and I'm like, it's not what you think it is. Literally, I'm watching somebody going through emotional pain right now. But Klanad was awesome. It's one of those shows where it breaks you, but then it makes you smile at the end. I dug it. And I was tempted at some point to get the Switch Klanad game, which is the visual novel. But I figured I already have the show. I don't need to double dip. Same with Steinskate. I kind of want to get that Steinskate game for the Switch. I'm thinking about it. But I have a lot of games that I still want to get. Gio, would you want to travel to Japan, especially since you're into a lot of Japanese media? Yes, that's one of my bucket list things. I want to make enough money so that I can do a freaking month-long trip and just see everything that I want to see. Like, dedicate days to just certain things. Because I love the folklore and history of Japan. I love history as a whole. That's my favorite subject growing up in school. And Japanese history always interested me. I always found it super fascinating, not because of the manga or anime or none of that, but just the feudal era and samurai lore and all the different folktales. And if you follow me on TikTok, Preacher Gaiden, if you want to follow me there, I do a lot of videos explaining or just doing a little summary on the different yokai of Japanese lore. I really love that. I'm actually working on a video that's in my head. I haven't written anything or recorded anything of how it's gonna be more of a video essay on how I'm starting to realize that Japanese yokai are kind of saving my life and mental health. I don't want it to sound like weird or anything. I don't want you to think I'm depressed or going through something. It's just getting into that stuff, just sort of like, I don't know, like when you take a nice breath of fresh air and it just clears your mind, going into that stuff has sort of done that for me as of late and getting all the Mizuki books, the Shigeru Mizuki, and it's just been a lot of fun. And I've really been enjoying it. So I want to make a video covering that stuff, not just a review on, for example, Gege no Kitaro. I actually want to do more of an essay and deep dive on that. But yeah, one of my goals at some point, I want to make a lot of money just so I can afford a month-long trip and explore the sites, go to the Mizuki Road, that's something I really want to see and dedicate, of course, you got to do some anime, manga, gaming, video, game shopping, right? That's essential for nerds. I want to, I don't want to buy it from eBay. I want to go to a store, a retro video game store in Japan and pick up a copy of Pokemon Red and Blue, with a little box from there. That's the goal of mine. Pokemon cafes, I love Pokemon and Godzilla stuff and Gundam, I love Gundam, but I'm not crazy over it with the model kids and all that stuff, that's not for me. But I do like it. And I would like to buy volume ones of my favorite manga in Japanese. My friend, I don't know if he wants me to say the name or not, but Sherlock from the Facebook groups, he gifted me a copy of Naruto when he was over there and he bought it for me, the Japanese edition. So I would like to get at least bleach one piece. Hunter, Hunter would be nice to get that first volume, maybe some udusawa, stuff like that. James, you bought the legends of the Galactic Hero thing? The price was very high, only bought because they said they wouldn't reprint the series. Last time I looked on eBay was selling for over $2,000. Bro, that's a lot of money. I would consider buying it. Maybe you can, you know the people that rip their blue rays into like a private home server? Do that, rip it and then sell the box it because that's a nice chunk of cash. Now how much I can do with $2,000 right now? I can use that, pay some bills. Are you gonna buy Horizon Forbidden West on PlayStation 5? Yes, I'm super excited for that. I don't know if I'm, I don't know if I'm gonna wait a little bit, just a little bit to see if some offers start popping up on eBay. Instead of paying the $70 retail, maybe I wait a little bit and I can get it for 60 or 50 because that tends to happen with PlayStation games or do I fork over more money and get the steelbook? The reason I say that is because my Horizon Zero Dawn PS4 copy is a steelbook edition with the statue or the figure or whatever. So maybe I wanna do matching sets, I still don't know. But PS5 games are expensive, so I might just wait for a little discount on eBay. Aki bahara, aki bahara? I always butcher that. It's like a haven for otakus. Like they have a one-piece themed restaurant, how awesome is that? Yes, I need to see all of that. And the made stuff, the random made stuff that yes, might be a little bit lewd. I don't care, it's still cool. Part of the culture of the weakness. Like obviously the Pokemon cafes is something that I really wanna do because they have, depending on the season, right? They have limited edition stuff like play mats or posters or, I don't know, glassware or whatever it may be. Figures and figurines, that would be really awesome. I bought Galactic Heroes when it was on Sentai Filmworks Store, not on eBay. No, no, yeah, I got you, I got you. But like 2000, I would think, maybe sit on it a little bit more and see if it goes up in price. So like 5,000, go for it, why not? It's a beautiful looking set though. It's just pricey. So, I showed you guys earlier, I got Arceus. You don't know if I'm gonna stream it or not. I probably will, just stay tuned. I'll make an announcement on the community tab. Here's a book I got. Now here's a cool story. This is why I wanted to make the stream tonight and talk a little bit about this. This is the Godzilla art of Kaida Yuji. Very famous illustrator, painter and just a fantastic artist overall. This is the first ever English licensed book, art book from Yuji. And I had to have it because I'm a huge fan of his work and I'm a huge fan of Toho films and Godzilla. So this, as you can see here, here's the back of the book. I don't know if I wanna do a, I'm not gonna do a video on it. I'll share it on my haul but I'm not gonna do a dedicated video overview on an art book, but it has really amazing art. You can see right there, all painted by Yuji right there. So the funny thing is I ordered this through RightStuff, right? I'm a big fan of Godzilla and I was super excited with that huge order I placed that I placed I was still missing MIA as of late but I finally got it. And this did not, whatever. No, this was a November release that got pushed back to December. I placed the order on it. It got delayed for December and then RightStuff shipped it by itself around December 16th or the 20th or something like that. And I ended up getting it just before Christmas Eve, couple days, like the 22nd or 23rd. And I never made a fuss over it on social media but I just got an empty box. It was missing, the item was missing. Two things, either somebody, it was ripped and they could see what it was and they stole it or in transit it actually broke the seal or the taping or whatever that RightStuff uses and it fell out. But they still delivered to me an empty box with no receipt or nothing. And it was just, I was so pissed off that day. You had no idea how angry I was because unfortunately I can't find this stuff. Whoa, you can't see that. I can't find this stuff anywhere here. That is one of the limitations, right? A lot of the stores in good old Puerto Rico disappeared and if I wanna get anime or manga, it has to be super popular stuff for it to be on Walmart or Frickin' Sam's Club or whatever but I don't have any local comic shops near me. So almost everything that I enjoy has to be online. I'm not such video games, you can find that anywhere. So I do my shippings with RightStuff through the route insurance service and I'm like, all right, let's put you guys to the test because it was only 98 cents on it. So I emailed them, they asked for pictures or I did the file acclaim thing. Added the pictures, wrote what was wrong. The USPS worker told me, oh, you gotta file a claim and let them know, I did that. And when it arrived, when the email was sent, they immediately got back to me and like, I wanna say in less than 12 hours, they replied. I filled out their form and they basically said, hey, don't worry about it, we got you. You wanna refund or a replacement? I'm like, no, I want a freaking replacement. I really want that book. And I don't know if it's gonna sell out or not. So they ordered, they placed an order and they shipped it to me and holy crap, I had to wait a long time. It literally arrived today. Since December 20, it was after Christmas. But seriously, why did it take a freaking month before it to arrive? I've ordered stuff through Media Mail and it wasn't as slow as this. So if you have any issues with write stuff and do the route claiming thing, they will hook you up, they'll work with you. Really nice people working there that I chatted with. But it was slow as heck, man. But finally got it. I love this book so much. And I'm gonna share with you, before I answered more questions, I'm gonna share with you my favorite image if I can find it here, because I haven't memorized the contents yet. This is my favorite painting from Yuji. I love this so much. One of my all time faves. Oh, and the Shin Godzilla one looks amazing. Where is it? There it is. I love this movie. And this just looks amazing. Love it. So you'll see more, a little bit more of it, higher quality, higher graphics on my haul video. Why can't I scroll up? There we go. What's your opinion on the Demon Slayer game? I haven't played it yet. It seems to me that it's very similar to what they always do with anime games, where it's just based on like 12 episodes or 20 episodes of a long running series. And then a year or two or a year and a half later, you release a second game covering more episodes. It reminds me of Budokai and Ultimate Ninja Storm and games like that. So I would not get it unless it's on sale for like 10 bucks, physically, honestly, because they're gonna put out more. They're gonna milk that license. Look at my hair academia. That already has like three or four games, I think, and there's a new one coming out, Battle Royale game. Have you read Jujutsu Kaisen? I have. I have not kept up with it, but I've read like four or five volumes. And I forgot to keep going. I do that a lot. That's the thing on the channel. What are some of your favorite pet peeves when it comes to anime blu-rays? For me, it's damaged slip covers, steel books with stacked discs, and of course, splitting up a 24 episode series into two parts. If you're gonna split it up into two parts, at least sell them at a reasonable price. Like if you combine the two prices, it makes sense for a full season release to be that price, right? I dislike when the slip cover and the interior artwork are the same and there's no reversible artwork. I hate that so much. Sentai has the bad habit of doing the artwork on the slip, or not the slip, the on the case is there, but in the inside it's just blank and just a two disc. And you're charging a lot of money. Recently that happened with Dororo last year. Last year? Yeah, or whatever. Dororo, such a high profile release. I think it was like a $60 release. And it's just a two disc. Bare bones. At least give me reversible artwork or maybe a little paper pamphlet there like the old school days where you would have the chapter selections or the menus. Then just give me a plain box. I could do that at home, right? I can print that out myself. Oh, and almost all the Funimation releases, the disc will be, one of the discs will be loose and the plastic will break in the corners. And when I open it, it's like sand falling out of the case. Almost always happens with Funimation releases. And I get it. Some companies like Antiplex, you pay that super premium price and it's not gonna happen. My Fate Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works, that was the last thing. The Fate Stuff is the only releases that I got from Antiplex. I stopped after that. I only got the Fate Zero Unlimited Blade Works and Heaven's Feel. Those would stand in atomic bombing. They're amazing chipboard boxes. Super high quality. And I get it. And their encoding is probably one of the best in the game for the Blu-rays, but unless you're looking for that stuff, you're not gonna notice from a regular Blu-ray release, honestly. Is the book paperback? Yes, that was another thing I was disappointed at. I thought it was gonna be a hardcover, but it's sort of like the size of a Treasury Edition book for comics. And it's a trade. I do like the spine. Oops, sorry. I do like the spine. The Godzilla art of Kaida Yuji. And it has interviews at the back as well as I assume, yeah, sketches, pinups, character profile and dioramas. Like here's one for Mechagodzilla, my favorite of the Godzilla villains. And it has, yeah, interviews. So it's a really nicely put together book from Titan Books. And here's a cool shot of everybody. Check this out. Check this out, Jet Jaguar by Alante, Frankenstein, or the, whatever his name is, the, oh my gosh, Gargantua's, all that stuff. Really cool. So yes, anime is hard to get here in Canada too. I go to Walmart for groceries and because they have low prices. I don't know why I need to point that out, but whatever. I go there and I look at the Blu-ray section, just window shopping. I'm not picking out anything because I'm, I put a stop to it because at some point a few years ago, I'm gonna say 2014 to 2017 around that, around those years. I was really into movies. I've always been into movies, sorry. I was really into movie collecting and I wanted to build a really kick ass movie library with all the cool releases and the superhero stuff and like classic cinema. And then I realized that's a lot of money. I didn't have that amount. So I'm like, I'm done with this. I'll just stick to the other stuff that I collect. So I stopped and the collection's kind of incomplete. It has some good titles, but not like the definitive ones that you might think for a Blu-ray collection. And so I always go to stores and browse through the Blu-ray section, even if I don't pick anything. I just like looking at the Blu-rays and I look at their anime section and almost all of this media and funimation and the manga section at Walmart is pretty weird. It has a lot, almost all of it is Viz Media because they have a huge chunk of the market, unfortunately. And a random Kodansha books. Kodansha's getting up there in popularity in terms of presence on shelves. Like, because yeah, they have stuff like Attack on Titan which a lot of people are into. So I see that a lot. But the other niche manga releases that come out that we like to collect here on the internet, I don't see that. Are you into any of the Kurosawa films such as Ikuru or Seven Samurai? Yeah, yes, I have a pretty small, I would say decent Asian collection of movies. I don't, it's not here, I can't show it. It's in the living room. But next time, I'll take some pictures and show it or maybe film a little video for you guys and air it because I can do that on OBS, air it here. But yeah, I have a couple Kurosawa films. The latest one I got was the RAN or RAN 4K steelbook which looks really cool. And stuff like Throne of Blood, Seven Samurai, Yojimbo. Yeah. The shelf is just focused on Asian blu-rays, Asian cinema, sorry. So it's a, is it two by four? Kalex or whatever, it's two rows standing vertically. And the way I have it set out right now is one cube for samurai slash feudal Japan movies like the Daimajin trilogy and Akira Kurosawa, Samurai movies, stuff like that. Added the Kenshin movies to that from earlier. And then the next one is like contemporary Asian stuff and maybe some of the, some Yakuza films or whatever, even though it's not my thing, but I do have one or two. I have another cube for Kaiju and Toho films. So like Godzilla stuff and Mysterians and Matango and stuff like that. And then the other cube is Korean cinema which I've been really enjoying. I have a few movies already. And then the other two are just for anime films. So from this shelf, which I have all my anime, I took out all the movies and just set them over there. Like Studio Ghibli and standalone anime movies. Marcello, thank you for joining, buddy. Zack, oh, how you doing, buddy? Did you pre-order Nana Complete Collection Blu-ray? We were just talking about that, Daniel. No, unfortunately I did not. It's a little bit too pricey and for the same price of that, I can get more volumes of series than I'm reading. So I'll wait to see if Sentai discounts that collection later in the year. But I do want it. Protein releases a lot of really awesome Japanese films. One of my favorite releases from them is Long Wolf and Cub. I need to get that. The only reason I didn't get it was because of the price. And yeah, I was on sale for like half off, I think, but I was getting, for that price, I got a bunch of other stuff. So I typically leave the expensive block sets for a later time. So maybe this year when they do the sales again and all that stuff and those come back at half off or whatever discount, I'll get them. Cause I need to get that. Is that Soichi? I would like to own it, honestly, yeah. So we'll see. Looks like the Nana Steelbook is readily, is already unavailable on Sentai's website, might be out of print already. I'm gonna say out of stock. I'm gonna say out of stock. I don't wanna be pessimistic and say it's out of print already. Let's wait a little bit because I don't wanna get depressed over missing out on that steelbook. Oh, and I did get something really fun, but a lot of people are on, I don't know how you guys are gonna react to it. And it arrived today, but the post office was already closed, so I didn't go. Maybe I'll go tomorrow. I got the, this is very weird, but I got the, oh my gosh, I forgot the name. The interspecies reviewers, Steelbook Edition, I watched the show when it came out and I loved it. It was so funny and perverse that I really got a kick out of it. And you know what? I said screw it, I'm gonna treat myself and just get that steelbook. So it arrived and thankfully, it has no lewd artwork on it, outside nor inside. So I'm good, I'm happy with that. What else, did I get anything else? Oh, even though it's a great movie that I hadn't bought it yet, I saw it on Hulu, but I did get 13 Assassins. I posted that on Instagram. That was a movie that I wanted to own. Takashi Mike Films, there are a lot that I wanna get, not everything, because again, I'm not a huge fan of crime movies in Yakuza. I am very positive about that, so thank you for pointing it out. I don't like to talk about guilty pleasures, because if I like it, why do I have to feel guilty about it? But interspecies reviewers, I do plan on making a review on it, because I think it's a really underrated series that a lot of people got upset about for no reason, because I have manga volumes of it, and it's not as bad as you might think. The anime, however, did go a little too far. It was kind of bordering on a Hentai level, but the manga is pretty tame in comparison. Well, don't get the wrong idea. It does have nudity in it, but it's not sexually explicit is what I'm getting at. I really wish I could fix this, but I have no idea how to highlight, how do I do the whole comment? It's probably a setting that I'm not figuring out at the moment. Anyways, crazy, the effect the pandemic has had on manga, I've noticed certain manga volumes are going for crazy prices, like certain volumes of Vagabond are going for like 80 plus dollars. That is a series that I really wanna get. I've not read it online. I don't own it, and I really, really, really wanna own it. And I'm waiting patiently because they are going to reprint it at some point. It's not out of, it's not out of prints, it's out of stock. And a lot of websites still have that little tab like coming soon, the reprint or restock. Sorry about that. Stupid chair who makes a lot of noise. So I do want that. And I made a live stream, if anybody's wondering, I made a live stream on my channel where I talked about my manga collection and I mentioned sort of the problem I have with space. And I want to sell a lot of books to make room because right now my goal is to get rid of four eight cubes of graphic novel and put them right there in my closet of doom so that I can fit more manga in there. But to do that, I need to sell a lot of books that are there. And behind me, I have a giant stack of books, but they're mostly comics. So I'm probably gonna highlight them on Omibros and not here to see if somebody wants to buy them. So I don't have to put them on eBay and Facebook groups and all that stuff because it's too much work. But I have a couple deluxe editions and hard covers. Not super rare stuff, but I think people will want some of what I got to offer. Do you like steel books? I'm not the biggest fan of them since they easily get dense but I do get some if they have nice artwork on my favorite movies. I don't mind the dense, but I'm with you on that. Nice artwork on your favorite movies. Yes. For some reason, I started collecting the DC movies in steel books. So I don't want to break that tradition, even though I'm no longer getting the superhero stuff either. But like those are in steel book form, which I love. For anime, I don't really care too much, but steel books are nice. A little bit overpriced though. The one steel book that I do want to get is the Universal Monster series that the steel books were drawn by Alex Ross. That's something that I want to get. And a couple of years ago when they came out, I had the opportunity to get them. I just didn't have the money at the time. And now they're really expensive, of course, but I want to own those movies in the steel books. They look amazing. So, I'm trying to think if I'm missing any announcements. Talked about the books. Oh, okay. So this isn't going to give me a lot of views, I think, but I recently got, how do you pronounce it? Freyren, the new manga from Sean Sunday that everybody's talking about. I decided to pick it up. I think Amazon had it for nine bucks. So I got that. And I know it already came out back in November. Is it still late? Am I late to make a first impressions video on it? That's what I'm debating, because I have it over there somewhere. So, yeah. What did you think of the Watchman film, 2009? I personally loved it. I've never been bothered by adaptations. I know they will never surpass the original, and I just enjoy them for what it is. It's adapting something into a different medium. I don't get too hung up on the changes. Sorry, a little tongue-tied. I really enjoyed it. I like a lot of what Snyder does. I'm a big fan. I know it's pretty heated and a lot of people don't like him or the movies. I'm just an okay guy. I like everybody, you know? I don't try to hate on anybody. But I think it mostly did justice to Alan Moore's book. Maybe not on a philosophical political level like the graphic novel, but at least visually, just getting the message across. I think, I think it somewhat did a good job. That's just my opinion. Donate me on that. Noir Wolf, thank you for joining. That's awesome. Hey, if just one person is watching and enjoying it, that's good for me. But 10, 11 people watching and 12 likes, you guys are the best. I love every single one of you. Free A-Ren is great. I don't think you are early. Wait until volume three drops, then the series will be on everyone's mind. I have volume two on its way. I ordered that, but I kind of, because my thinking is, do I make a first impressions video on the first book or do I do that and wait for three volumes? I don't know. Because I have a lot of other shows, other series that I want to review. I also started reading Planets. Is that how you say it? Because I've never read that and I have the two omnibus editions and I will be making a video on that soonish on the channel along with the million other stuff that I mentioned on this stream already. But I did get that. And what was the other thing I got? Ooh, I got, you know, I'm gonna do a first impressions just for the hell of it on a record Wait, not record. Is it record? Yeah, Record of Ragnarok. I ordered the first one. It hasn't arrived yet. I made a pretty big order this month. I got Record of Ragnarok. I got the Battle Angel Alita. I've been getting that series in the smaller format. I got Beastars. And I started collecting I Am a Hero. So I got like four more volumes of that. Same with Happiness from Oshimi. Lots of cool stuff. I'm excited for that. Majority of the time, how do you watch anime? Dubbed or subbed? I don't hate on dubs at all. Because growing up, I watched all of it dubbed. And I love the different voice actors. And I know about their filmographies and I follow them on social media and I've chatted with them. I'm actually friends with a couple on social media. But ever since I started doing my seasonal reviews and whenever I got the Crunchyroll account back in 2016, I think, or something like that, everything was subbed because it was released an hour after the Japanese broadcast. So I just stuck with subs. And I can recognize when there are bad dubs. But there are a lot of good ones too. A lot of people have the mentality that everything's terrible and it's not. But I haven't watched a dub anime in ages. But I do remember Funimation was doing great. They recycled the same people over and over. But when I stopped watching, which was around when Attack on Titan debuted, they were starting to get a lot of new people involved. And now I see it all the time when they announced new dubs on Twitter. A lot of voice actors that I've never heard of, which is awesome, that's great. Don't recycle the same voice pool. But I mostly watch subbed. I try to learn the Japanese say use, but it's really difficult for me to memorize all the Japanese names. But if I hear one, I'll recognize it from many other shows. And if you go to my anime list, I have a list of my favorite say use and voice actors. Go to AnnieList.com and search for this channel's name. A week in Geek them. You can keep up with what I watch and read. It's pretty cool, I love that site. Brotherhood had a great dub, Death Note. Yes, Death Note is really underrated in my opinion. Bebob is solid. Ghost in the Shell standalone complex as a phenomenal dub. That was another one. Yu-Yu Hakusho has a great dub. My hero academia for the most part, I like some of the voices, most of them. Gundam, I think, what was the Gundam that I watched that was dubbed? Double O, had a good one. Double O. Fade Stay Night, I think has a good dub. Yeah, but some like Food Wars and other comedies, I'm not a fan of, so I just watch them some. And right now, just in case you guys are wondering, because I do talk about anime, right? Right now, check this out, guys. I'm watching, it's a slower season. I'm not watching a lot of shows compared to last year. Last year was insane, four seasons, and it was like 24 to 27 series per season. And that was a lot. This time I have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 18 shows that I'm watching, right? Yeah, I'm currently watching Yasha Hime, which is airing the final part of season two. My Dress of Darling, Akebi's Sailor Uniform, Digimon Ghost Game, Demon Slayer, Attack on Titan, Final Season, Tribe Nine, Princess Connect, Redive, season two, that's a long name. Sabikui Bisco, which is insane and I highly recommend it. In the land of Leidali, it's an Isekai, whatever. Police in a pod, just been surprisingly fun. Orient, which surprisingly bad, honestly. Tokyo 24th Ward, pretty interesting. Shaman King, I'm still underwhelmed by it, but I keep watching it. Ranking of Kings is solid. Platinum Man has been really underwhelming. Whoa, I need to talk about this. Dragon Quest Adventures of Die. And for some reason, I decided to watch Worlds and Harum, just for the hell of it. Ooh, yes, Bakano, I remember that. That's a good dub. Thank you for pointing that out. So I decided to watch Worlds and Harum because I just thought the concept was too funny. It's basically why the last man bit hornier. There's no gun fighting. There's no guns. It's just about mating. And I just wanted to see, because I read some of the manga and I just wanted to see how the hell they're going to adapt a borderline hentai manga into an anime. And Crunchyroll got it for some reason, but it's censored in the most awful, hideous way where it's just scratches of pixels and black lines across private parts. And obviously that's what you gotta do because that's the TV broadcast where it's censored. But damn, does it look terrible. And the animation itself, the studio that's doing it is horrendous. And if I may be lewd for a minute, you'll have to excuse me. If this is a show about human anatomy and people doing the deed, shouldn't it be well animated? Just saying. The studio that's doing it is Axis AXSIZ. They delayed the show from October, 2021 till now, January. And I thought maybe they're doing it to improve the artwork because it was pretty bad. The manga looks great compared to the anime. But it was, it's not good. I have two studios here, what the hell? Axis and Studio Gokumi. I don't know which one's doing it, but I think it's Gokumi. But man, that's not a good show. So I just needed to feature more shows because I didn't want to talk about just like eight different new ones. So I added it just for the hell of it. I don't recommend watching it, honestly. It's pretty terrible with horrible characters. But it would make great content for YouTube if I talk about it, right? Because that's what I do now. Watch a lot of shows. I stopped watching movies. I stopped watching TV shows. Now I just consume anime, manga, video games and YouTube. That's my life now. So I watched that. And if you guys are wondering what I'm reading, let's see. I am reading Blood in the Tracks, which I think it's on its final leg. I don't like where the manga's at at the moment. I think the quality dropped, for me at least. Again, I'm reading through the omnibus editions when they come out. I ordered the new one. Hasn't arrived or hasn't shipped actually because it's out of stock. So I'm waiting for them to stock up so they can send me my copy. I'm reading Dr. Stone, Shoten. Ayashiman is great. Doron Dororon is fun to your eternity. I'm really excited for number five and Die Dark. Those are fun series. So yeah, lots of interesting things. Give me a second. Okay, I'm back. Oh, what happened to the chat? Oh, there it is. What are some of your favorite memories from Toonami back in the day? Ooh, I could fill a whole fricking show like that. And it would be fun if I get some of my friends on board and we can talk about that. What are some of my favorite memories from Toonami back in the day? I've watched Toonami since its inception. We're close to it. I remember vividly the weekday afternoons coming home after school. And that block was like religious to me and getting exposed to Japanese animation, Yu-Yu Haku show, the first Gundam shows and all the different stuff that they aired. Then I remember vividly when they moved to Saturdays and it was an even bigger block because it started at 8 p.m. until 11. Then it switched to adult swim and adult swim continued airing anime up to four in the morning, five in the morning. And back then we had just gotten our first DVR. So that was great because I would watch up until midnight or maybe 1 a.m. and then fall asleep and record everything else. Inuyasha, Code Geass, Ghost in the Shell, a lot of cool stuff. But what I'm mostly fond of when it comes to Toonami, aside from the promos and the little music videos that they would do and Tom and all that stuff, I think it was just the weekday lineup. That would forever hold a special place in my heart and I wish I could go back to that era, you know? 14, 15 year old me going back or 13 year old me going back and watching that stuff. Like the first time I watched Full Monarchimist when that aired, that was great. Do you have in my anime list, I don't use Mal but I do have any list. The anime list I think has a better user interface. It's a lot simpler, cleaner and it has all the forums and all the info that you want with the voice acting and the manga and creators, et cetera, et cetera. It's gonna have its talks of fanboys. Nothing you can do about that. But I don't tend to follow that. I just track what I'm watching and I don't do reviews but I do rate all the stuff that I watch and read. So if you're interested, annieless.com search for the name of the show, a week in Geekton and you'll see me there. You can browse through my catalog of shows. Let's see right now. Oh my gosh. If I go to my anime list on the site, I've completed 542 different shows. That's a lot. And manga not so much because I watch more than I read. Completed, it's somewhere around what it's 54. So not a whole lot. But I'm getting there. This is gonna be the year where I make that happen and read a lot of stuff and make as many reviews as possible. I wanna have those reviews on this channel. Like this catalog of stuff that people can rely on and go back and see from your Berserks to Blade of the Immortal and Akira and all these classics. I wanna try and review them all this year. Farhand, my dude. Thank you for joining. Hi Geo, nice to see you. Hopefully everything is good there. Peace and love. Peace and love, my dude. Yeah, it's all good. I'm kinda getting ready to wrap it up because I've been talking nonstop and I need to rest. And I am, I'm tired. Bump my head. There's a nice little scar there and I've been tired all day. So I need to rest. So give me like five more minutes. Throw whatever random questions you got at me. And I'll wrap it up. But I do promise. I will try next week to do the Doki Doki stuff just for the hell of it and talk more with you guys. So if you'll allow me, we can do another meetup, another little hangout next Friday. Because again, I have a weird schedule and when I'm not doing my YouTube, I'm on Omnibros, Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. So I have to split my time between that and this channel and watching stuff and reading stuff and not being on the internet because I've been trying since last year to use less and less social media but it's a vice, it's an addiction. And I have that Twitch thing. Twitch channel, sorry. Twitch that hopefully I'll stream Arceus or retro video games, arcade, main stuff like that. A goal for you can be to watch more anime than the number of manga Riley has. Riley's collection is insane. I love that guy, but that is an insane amount of books. And I mean that with peace and love. If I had the same cash flow and space, I would probably build a collection like that, honestly. I just have the two shelves. I can't do much with that, you know? So we're gonna leave it at that. Thank you everybody, thank you so much. You guys have no idea how much it means to me that you support the channel and you watch and I like the videos. And it's a long-term goal but I kind of wanna make something out of this channel in a later point in time. Not now, because it's so growing, but I don't know if that means going full-time or something but I just love creating content online, putting out videos and talking and all that stuff. I'd love to talk with people about all these hobbies and whatnot. So hopefully we can make it happen and build a solid, positive, wholesome community. Talk about anime and manga and a little bit of comics here, why not? But yeah, it's my promise to you guys, I will try and stream next Friday, a little bit earlier so more people can join in, probably around 8 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. And yeah, we'll do some weeb gaming while we chat and talk about life and all that stuff. So thank you everybody. And I probably should have been clapping because the microphone's right there. Thank you everybody for tuning in. Thank you for supporting the channel. Like I just said, thank you to the chat. You guys are amazing. I love every single one of you. Even the weird comments from earlier. Stay safe out there everybody. Thank you, I will be back next week with my review of a manga, which we'll see what it is. We'll see what it is. I'm still undecided. Maybe I'll do Freyren, maybe I'll do something else, we'll see. But thank you guys, love every single one of you. Stay safe and I will see you on the next video.
