 This week on Fan Service, we discuss anime movies, staying through to after the credits, spy family and ugly babies on your TV. Not mine. Yours. Not mine. Oh, it's on mine. Welcome to Fan Service. That'd be a crazy way to start this show. Fan Service. Welcome to Fan Service. This is an official anime podcast. I'm one of your hosts, Cole. I'm Isa. I'm Tori. And I'm Miles. Right before we started this, I was like, Isa, does it hurt being on this podcast with us? I can't. No, it can't be that bad. For the first time in my life, I know how Gavin feels. Go on. You know what, Gavin? Are you super rich? Bro, I was definitely. No, where it's talking about science and knowing what you're talking about and people acting like you're crazy. You also need to not work here. It's also like it is a. Stop. Here's the thing. Here's the thing. Here's the thing. Here's the thing. There is a very different vibe that is set when someone comes in and is like, hey, guys, I want to have an interesting conversation about the States of Matter. Oh, then the vibe that is set when someone comes in says, hey, guys, is lava wet? I'm just saying it's a different sort of introduction to the topic. That's not anime. We've already had one episode where we didn't talk about anime. Yeah. So hey, that's my favorite thing. My favorite anime is the like dislike ratio. I haven't seen it. Oh, really? All the comments on YouTube are like, Steven Universe is not an anime. No way. You listened for a few minutes. It totally is an animation. But I'll tell you this, high level of interaction on that episode. We did it. Scrape in the bottom of the banner. So there you go. It's a good compliment. Sandwich. I did not know. I don't look at. I don't look at comments. Issa doesn't care about your comment. Yeah, I'm the syndarian. Make me care. Y'all, I watched a lot of anime this week. I watched more than I normally do. OK, how much anime do you normally watch in a week? It's Monday. It's Tuesday. We've had a full week since the last episode. Our week start Tuesday to Tuesday. How much is anime liquid and how much of it did you consume in a week? Actually, I normally watch a lot. OK, OK. No, no, no, no, no. I want if you can give me an actual time range, a quantifiable how many episodes of anime of 20 minutes anime would you say you watch a night? Let's just start with that night. Let's just say on an average night and then we'll multiply that by seven at least an hour night. An hour night. Seven hours. Seven hours of anime a week. That's more because there's weekends more more. Oh, you said night. You said right. You can wake up and watch anime. There's other times of the day. It's got an anime in his room. I did finish JoJo's part two. Oh, yeah. I am back on the one piece train because I want to roll a coaster. Oh, wait. I hate it. Oh, no, no. You hate it or you hate it, JoJo or one piece. Well, we can talk. I don't know what we're going to talk about first. I want to say reason I'm watching one piece now is because the movie One Piece Stampede just came out. It did. Yes. And yes, it did. One of the producer, one of the assistant producers of old fan service, Ben Ernst, he reminded me. He's like, oh, hey, one piece movie coming out. We're going to go see. I was like, yeah, sure. Why not? No, you watched it with a rain dress. Yeah. Can I take a guess? I've never I've never seen an episode. No, that's not true. I tried watching one piece years ago and was like, oh, good. You probably watched it. But I already guess knowing almost next to nothing about the one piece series. Can I rough guess of what happens in the movie? In the movie? Yes. Yes. All right. We've got a new villain in town and this villains not like the other villains you've seen before. This villains super strong. No one's ever seen a villain like this villain. And this villain, it looks like that villain is going to win. And all hope is lost. And ah, beans, this is going to change everything. Oh, beans. Then something happens. And Luffy. Luffy. Luffy. I'm going to go with Luffy. Luffy is he's stretching. He's squashing and stretching. And he's going to do a big hit. And he's OK. He's either going to defeat the strong villain or learn something crazy about the strong villain and maybe realize like the strong villain wasn't always a villain. They're going to say it's going to come to some sort of conclusion. And then he's going to get something. And then for whatever it breaks or something, it doesn't matter. None of this matters. We're never going to talk about this any again, ever forever after no one even mentioned it. Let's just go back to what we were doing before this whole thing ever happened. Spoilers. You were very close. I'll take it. I'll take it. I'll take it. You're not going to learn anything about the villain that makes them into a good guy. OK, because they're it's a movie. They're never going to see him again. Oh, yeah. They're done. Unless there's another movie waiting. We're past this, man. This man who was very strong and the most invincible is now gone. And we don't give a shit. And we're never going to mention him again, even though we've just beat the strongest thing to ever exist. At this point, what's Luffy's power level? That's Luffy. Left and right. Well, the other part where you were kind of wrong is you said stretch. He doesn't as much. He still stretches a lot. But now he bulges. But he has gears and stuff. He like. Yeah, it's weird. Luffy's is super weird. Luffy got thick. Luffy got thick. No, like literally. Can you pull up Luffy's snake form? Snake, Luffy's snake form? I think that's what it's called. OK, I'm weird. All I last I heard was gears. I just remember he ate a fruit, got stretchy, can't swim now. That's the rules, right? That's the rules? Look up to a picture. Is that a different or is it a different? There's so much going on with Luffy now. Is he just eating baskets of fruit at this point and just getting all the powers? I don't know, because this is way past where I'm at. Oh, OK. I'm still not to where they have the full crew in the series. Why is he buff? Because that's a snake form. Yeah. Snakes are ripped. Everyone knows that. Snakes are liquid. And he's that's like gum gum cobra. Whoa. And it's like a huge buff fist. The what? I love that. I love that. So we ate a fruit. See, like, yeah, gear four. OK, look at that panel's just shouting snake man. So here's the thing. Here's the thing. One piece fucking rules. As I just stated, this is so much farther past where I am in this series. Is he the king of the pirates yet? No. No. But what in the shit? No, and that's the thing Miles was saying. Like, by the time this episode comes out, the movie is not going to be around anymore. He finds something that would help him get to the one piece treasure quicker. And he decides to not use it because that would be cheating. What? I love it. I love it. I hate it. I hate the stretch to not have it be. I love it. This is the stretch to not have any use for the movie in the series. How baller of a move is that, though? For real? Like, it's like, oh, here it is. Here's the thing. Don't break that. Here's the thing we can use. That's what ours. So this seems like. This seems like with any type of elasticity power. Yeah. At some point, the person gets the ability to, like, harden the elasticity in. And it's like, you know, hardest steel or something. This seems like what's happening here, right? Yeah. I think I'll find out eventually. Because, like I said, I'm back now on the one piece train. I am episode 228. Yeah, you are on that train. I have been riding it for a while. Don't give it up. For real. Do you know how many episodes there are, though? Can I guess? 1,000. 500. Uh. You're wrong. You're wrong. Damn. You're close to half. There's like 900 and something. It's 900. Oh, it's close. I think, yes. 907. And the price is right. You lose. 907 just came out this week. You didn't have to rub my face in a period. Wowzers, ballers, man. That's a lot of stretchy men. Wow. There's only one. Well, there might be others. I don't know. There's only one. You're going to find out. One stretchy man. 678. One stretchy man I've seen so far. In fact, like, I mean, I just looked up the episode I'm at, I think, originally aired in 2005. I want to know. 2005? 2005. Before the greatest year. Jesus Christ. One is not better than the other. Because, like, that's a remarkable success. The show to go on that long and still be as popular as it is. That is awesome. I am genuinely curious how many people still watch week to week, like, super excited to see what's happened next. And because I'm sure that number is still very high. But I'm also curious what percentage of, like, the weekly fans are at this point. It's just like that that sunk cost fallacy of, like, I'm already a thousand episodes in. Also, I hate the show. I'm not stopping until I watch this whole show. A big part of it is that the manga is so good. Oh, that's so cool. That it kind of keep in the anime going. I mean, I know James Willems' Fun House is I think he's caught up kidding with fun. Yeah, wow. That's a fun piece. Nice. Yeah, it's I don't know. And it's also I really like. I remember when we were in Japan, we went to that one piece exhibit in the mall. They still have a great one. Like, someone is there right now. Yeah, he went to the Tokyo Tower. The One Piece Park. I don't know. It gets a lot of hate for, like, having nine hundred so many episodes, like, are they ever going to end? But, like, none of it makes you happy. Well, it also it, like, struck a weird, like, happy chord in my heart where I was like, they're just friends adventuring. Like, yeah, like, think about how long they've been going. I feel like I'm going to vomit. It's so funny. Do any of the romantic interests pan out? No. No. And nine hundred episodes? No one? Well, I don't know. It's not about romance. I hear it. They're toying. You keep calling him Tyrion. Damn it. I've been working on Ruby for too long. I don't know. There are nine hundred episodes. There seem to be maybe some stuff. Like, it seems like in the movie, Sanji and Robin were talking more. And I know Sanji was super into Nami. Here's the secret, man. They're all into edging. They all just want to get right there, but never carry through. That's what their king is. And we're not here to kink shame. Pirates, pirates. We won't come history. We did that last week. What did we do last week? Kink shame. What did we kink shame? Take away. Yeah. That's the king. I was like, yeah, absolutely. Oh, we're all right. We did talk about my hero academia. Yeah, we did. That's right. So what? OK, so something we did talk about later was I do. I'm pretty. That's it's a weird thing to see shown in movies like that now, where it's just going to reset. Which is why I'm so excited for Demon Slayer. Demon Slayer movie is going to be the next part of the manga. Oh, that's cool. All canon is so excited. And that's that's a baller move to go. Hey, yeah, we know you're invested in this free TV show by a ticket. Yeah, that's it. But that's some big energy. That's why movies and movies don't have a relation to the story. I was actually so funny enough. I was having that conversation because recently I borrowed Miles's version or a Blu-ray of your name had rewatched it. And I was having a conversation with this person who I was watching it with. And we are kind of talking about like, what is the film industry animated film industry like in Japan? Like, are there actual returns? It's just a kind of a weird thing to think about like the studio that you would love so much like a good chunk of their team is working on a year of this film for a full movie as opposed to working like half a season to make a season of anime. Yeah, I imagine it's pretty similar to the actual like anime to anime industry where it's I mean, with something like your name, it gets to be its own piece of art. Like Miyazaki, Makoto Shinkai, Mamoru Hasada, they all make cinema. They're like, here's an actual movie, we're going to get awards. Yeah, we're actually telling a complete story. Yeah, whereas stuff like One Piece, stuff like My Hero Movies, that's more so, hey, we're going to somewhere in manga because of this. Yeah, and I think that's an interesting, I think viewpoint I feel like for and just come in comparison to the Western animation film industry because most animated movies are just that animated movies. There's anything that's in relation to a TV show here is mostly direct to TV. Yeah, or it's like a Netflix one off maybe it's just something streamable. But then it's also like, oh, man, there was I remember a Twitter conversation I was reading and someone translated it luckily about Japanese animators who had watched Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse and they watched behind the scenes stuff and they're like, whoa, they have 200 animators for one film, that's nuts. They were just like, wait, really, there's so many people on staff. That's crazy. And you just imagine Detective Conan, they release a movie every year all top notch animation, like in terms of visual quality, they release a movie every year or every year, every other year or something. It's always a big thing. Japan loves Detective Conan and they're still making an anime that comes out every week on top of making a film every year. Yeah. So it's just like, what's the stuff on that for them? Yeah, that's it's also they block. They also have much worse working conditions. Yeah, it's not that great. True. They also, I mean, also, we have a lot of outsourced or they have a lot of outsourcing. Yeah, I mean, so do we. I just want to say like it's it's very on the surface level. Like, yeah, 200 people worked on this for like, you know, 30 of them worked on like four shots over the course of two or three weeks or higher than me, you know what I'm saying? Right, right, right. But they're also like, but they made they took like four to five years to make this. We get a year. Yeah, you know, just that difference in like production. How long did it take to make premiere? Premier premiere. I mean, I don't know, some stuff takes a little longer. Like, I remember seeing there was a breakdown of Mirai, Hasada's new film. Right. And it was like two years and they broke down like, OK, well, for the first six months, we were doing script. Then like within three months into that, while they were still working on a script, we started sending people out to go do research at the different locations that we would be going to. Then as soon as writing was done while they were doing research, we started getting concept in. So it's like. That was about two years for. I think that's premier is pretty similar, like two year. Oh, yeah. I think then Trigger was coming out with other stuff. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think it's also kind of interesting in the you mentioned scripting and like Hasada, and I was like, oh, I think another big difference is I feel like the directors on anime films, they actually have a huge hand in storyboarding the film itself, whereas here, usually that job is delegated to other people, literally a storyboard team, whereas the director just oversees everything. But the director in anime films, as far as I know, is so involved in almost every process. I remember that when we watched it's our favorite anime about anime. Sheerbaka. Sheerbaka, thank you. The director being locked in a cage trying to finish up the boards and stuff and like, oh, that's so interesting. It's super crazy. I like we had the privilege of a few years back getting to go over and speak with some people in the Japanese animation industry over in Tokyo. And it was just fun comparing now. It's like, oh, you use that software. Oh, we use this software. Oh, you use that plugin. Oh, that's really cool. Like, just like, I love that. You're so cute. Nice. Oh, God. So then. I think it's interesting. Yeah. So I get a question. What's up? I couldn't. I want to get in JoJo because I want to be a part of the memes. Yes. But. Is JoJo different every season? Because when I first started watching it. Yes, it did not have it didn't have any stands or anything like that. It was about these two guys doing stuff and I was like, where does stands the first where the fights JoJo has broken up into seasons. The first season is parts one and two. OK, so each part is following a different JoJo. First, you have Jonathan Joestar like a lineage. Yes. Look in the first like eight episodes, ten episodes, you have Jonathan Joestar. He does his entire story, finishes the next episode is his grandson, Joseph Joestar, Joseph Joestar. OK. And that's it for the rest of the first season, the first twenty six episodes. Oh, OK. Every season after that is like part three is. Jotaro Kujo. So it's Joe, Taro Kujo. And so then after that, it's like Dijon. Dijon, Dijon, Dijon, Dijon, Dijon, Dijon, Dijon, Dijon. So like it's current is the current season of JoJo like far in the future at this point? Yeah, no. So also part two takes place right before World War Two. OK. And then the next one was like it was kind of like 80s. And then hence the pompadour. Yeah. And then the the most recent one I think was 90s. OK. And then they do something where I think the next one is starting to get more modern and then they go back in time and they kind of have like an alternate universe. Hell, yeah. What a hear for it. I very like this is not going to be this is my understanding of it. This is probably not the most accurate. I think like the back in time is kind of a mix. The main character is a mix of the first villain and first hero. So can I watch? Can I watch them out of sync? Kind of, kind of parts one part two. The main ability is Hamon, which is like breathing. And it's using the power of the sun. OK, I do. Yes. Oh, I do. I do. Three, it starts to play into the lineages that had the ability to use Hamon. Those lineages start to develop stands. And from there on out, that's where it's like, oh, yes. Wait. Oh, OK. Stand is stand. OK, that's what I thought. For a second, I was like, hold on, wait. So I have a stand. You have a stand. We have stands poses, right? Nice, something kind of. It's essentially a persona. Persona based personas off of stands. This was like, I mean, this was a long time ago, right? Or when Rachel break down, right? Most people, I think, if you really want to get into JoJo, I have heard that you can start from part three. That's what Aaron went. OK, yeah, but you should. But if you actually get invested, then definitely go back to part one. Yeah, I also had a tough time getting into part three. I felt like I don't know. I was like, oh, I haven't earned this. Like, there's a lot of stuff that's happening. That's like they're mentioning stuff and there's even a character from part two who's in part three. And so he's showing up and you his character is very fun. And you're you're you want to have that experience of having gone through everything he went through in the first season to enjoy it. I'm sure that if like you would never watch the show otherwise, hopping into part three would be fun as well. OK, it also kind of switches to where part three is a little bit of a monster of the week. OK, whereas the first ones are much. I mean, you remember the first one. It's kind of more so, oh, we're doing this to eventually get to the final boss. I really like part four, part four. And that was like I started watching part four when it was on to Nami. And I was like, I like this enough that I want to go back and watch all the way to catch up because it what I like about it is it kind of takes the scale of world ending. It's like, no, what if it's just there's a serial killer in this town? I dig that. I dig that very much. And the powers are a little less crazy, like they're still like crazy and like bizarre. Sure. But it's not like earth shattering. Gotcha. OK. OK. Or at least as far as I got in part four. So but I still am not like in love with the series after part two. I really like the characters. I really it towards the end of it is when it started to get crazy enough for me to like, OK, I'm really I'm starting to actually like this. I am currently feeling that way about No Guns Life. I watched the show. If you all recall, it is the show with our big, big man with a big gun for a face. Yes. Yes. Though I'm still not in love with this show, it continues to have enough. It's having fun. Yeah. And I am feeling the fun. The main thing that that really got me through the latest episode, the second episode is we've introduced one of the supporting characters who is prominently featured in the opening. So I'm pretty sure she ain't going anywhere. She's sort of this like back alley doctor can fix people with like extensions. Like that's kind of her specialty. She's also sort of morbidly fascinated with that sort of thing. And like jokes about like, oh, I can take you apart and see what's going on. And stuff like that. She's really she's creepy cute. Yeah, she's got like creepy. She's creepy cute. She's blonde braided hair with freckles and just like she's constantly making this she constantly look kind of tired and is like, hey, what's going on? I could see what's going on inside your brain. Hey, remember, if you die, I'll dissect your body. Sounds so anime like that kind of character. She's great. She's super lovable. The there's still some stuff that's just like it seems kind of silly, but I won't question it too far. It's like, hey, you know, our main character has stolen from the most powerful corporate entity in the world and in order. They control everything. And so their first order of business is to use that influence to keep him from buying his favorite cigarettes. Sure, I was just like, sure. That's something I started to kind of like. Yeah, no, it's it's interesting. And it's continuing to have these like real shonen ass moments of like, oh, you thought you trapped me. Well, didn't you know about this ability? I love that. That's like my favorite thing in enemy. I feel like you'd really do. Have you watched anything yet? I did not know when it came out the last time we talked about it. I've been watching it on Hulu. Oh, they've got it. Unfortunately for you, subs only right now. That's fine. I don't care. OK, it's it's Funimation. So whenever it starts here in like the next couple of weeks, we'll probably be doing some of those. You know what I found out today? What's there is a known bug on the fun on the Funimation app for PS4. Oh, really? Yes. The entire that's why. Yes, that's why, because we've tried multiple times to get his Funimation account on my PlayStation so we could watch stuff together. Yeah, I buy the family account for Funimation to share with you lovely people, because I'm like, I want to want to give anime to people here and this is just because someone was tweeting it at me about it. The bug is if you're if your special character inside your password is not an at symbol, then it might get rejected. Well, I don't know. Maybe my password. It might be a crazy specific. Yeah, I don't know. That is that is I love Funimation. They need to they need to update some of their interface stuff. Don't need to update all of it. Sorry. But yeah, no good life, though, still not in love. It's having a little cool. Oh, it looks super cool. It's that we talked about this with what you were here. Yeah, we've established the gunfucks. The gun. Oh, the gunfucks. For sure, but everybody wants to fuck the gun and the guns like the guns very bashful, which I think is hilarious. Yeah, and he does a thing that I know every now and then for like comedic moments and full metal alchemist, Al would get like the big wide eyes and like a plushie, like very simplistic art style. They do that with him a lot. We just got one big wide. I was like, I mean, I mean, do you know who is producing it? I do not know. Tonight you watch it. But you know, it's interesting. I'm going to continue to follow this up. I get overwhelmed by all the fucking anime that's available. Even if I sit down, like I sat down yesterday because I couldn't sleep and I was like, you know, I'll watch the anime. I'm going to be on the podcast. Me watching the anime, freshen up, freshen up, like sat there for like 30 fucking minutes, scrolling through digital posters. Like, what do I click on? And then I just play the game in between. Yeah, between video game, my backup video game library, my anime backup library, destiny, just destiny to and now I have a big fat sack of comics that I'm slowly working through. Christine was really sweet, recommended black science to me, loving it. It's just like I got a lot of time. That's why we hope we hope this show can help kind of like now, you know, if you you should check out. Yeah, yeah, I'm going to go straight for that. I'm not going to get distracted by any other. You don't love the end of that. That first episode, I'm going to get distracted. The end of that pilot episode has a really awesome like film noir esque revelation and then some shonen ass anime shit. No, it goes down in like the last few seconds. Yeah, minutes of that episode. I need to speak in the event of episodes. Yeah, well, PSA, quick PSA, quick PSA. Anime, most of the time has post credit scenes. Here's watch through the credits or skip through the credits. I say watch through the respects of the people who helped make those credits call at the very least that it's not about reading it. It's the time you're giving them time as a respect at the very least. Isn't it like like what's coming up on the next episode? And I don't like that. I don't like that. I don't like it. Also weirds me out when they do and it's just because it's different. And I like I've watched enough animated where I'm used to it. But I just I just think it's weird when it's like fourth wall breaking. Nesco, do you know what we will be doing on the next episode? I love that. I don't. I'm like just next episode. Achieve and explain stuff to you. Do you know to skip to the next episode? They explain stuff to you. I kind of like the runtime doesn't say 23 minutes and 30 seconds. You can skip this like just skip that last 30 seconds. Here's the thing. Netflix is trying to get me to do it. Because when I watch through Carol and Tuesday, it's like, you don't want these fucking credits. Go to the next one. And I hate Netflix. Netflix auto skips openings. I hate that. Oh, I hate that. Mine just prompts me to auto skips. Yeah, it all it just does it for you. Mine for a while. When I when I watch it on my TV, it does it automatically. So you don't want to watch this. I install because I'm like jamming out one piece right now. Just like, hell yeah. So for one piece. Yeah, you're watching Joe Joe's. Either way, I have not because I forgot they existed. I have not watched an after credit scene like ever for my here at the area. Yeah, I've never I've I've. No, no, that's not true. Because I remember what was that? What was the one outro where they were like in a fantasy play? Yeah. I always watch every time. I love that. I'll tell you. Yeah, I think I'm pretty sure. You know, it's my favorite clothes. Closing clothes. Is that what is in Edie? Yeah, Edie like scene. Um, I'm going to butcher this. Black blood brothers blood blockade battlefront. Yeah, I like that. They're all dancing. And it's so good. I mean, no, it's a blood blockade battle. What kind of music? Um, I say sci-fi like sci-fi action action. I mean, my favorite thing about it is it kind of does something where the city is the main character. Yeah, I love that. That's my favorite part. First city or the first season, the first half. It's kind of like big O. Yeah, I think you would like blood blockade battlefront a lot. It gives me, I don't know. I get the same kind of eyes as a couple of people out from it. Yeah, it's like you're just kind of getting a look into this world through the eyes of these main characters. And it's like, oh, one episode, we're going to follow like the the kind of asshole side character. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, this episode. We're going to like get really kind of super serious into like oppression of immigrants. Like, oh, that was my favorite episode when I saw was like, oh, the burger kid one. Oh, yeah, that one was a little baby was cool. Have we established that Miles actually did not watch the ending of My Hero? The most recent I didn't watch the ending of My Hero. OK, because you were like, we got introduced to this girl. And I was like, what are you talking about? I just saw a boy jump around a room. Uh, I did enjoy the latest episode of My Hero. The moment when it revealed why he was going to be exempted, I was like, OK, anime man, dark is being real mean. Yeah. And and and, you know, and a man dark is some kind of double down like he can see the future a little bit, which is cool. Like, all right, sure. I'm sure, like for some reason, he's going to still accept him or something. And then like he fails. I'm like, all right. And then when he's like, you didn't touch any of my collectible posters. I was like, yes, yes, yes. They're both big fucking nerds and they love all night. And that's not going to be like, I see you're a man of culture and tastes and respect. I was like, I fucking I love the show. I love the show. This show is so fun. He is the symbol of peace. God, he is. He will be. He is. Like I was like the episode time that moment completely saved the entire episode of me. And I laughed so hard. I was like, I'm so happy. My her is starting to hit that point where we talked about it a little bit last week where it's like, let's slow things down. We know this the season is going to ramp up. So why don't we just take it nice and slow? Get in there. It definitely seems like it's having it's leaning more into like just fun, if that makes any sense. Like it's I feel like it when it first came out, at least like the anime, it's like we're the most shonen shit out right now. And now it's kind of like, look, you guys know what's up. Yeah. We're just having some fun. You're going to tune in every week. Yeah. You're going to watch every or, or you're going to get fed up with like this slow pace and you're going to go buy them all. Yeah. When it first came out, we're hitting you with the tournament arc. We're hitting you with the bad guys hitting the kids. We're training. We're hitting everything. We got the superpower back like, oh, whoa. Get it. You're shonen. Slow down. I got it. I can only watch the match. And now it's kind of like, ah, posters. Yeah. It's like the girl's invisible when she's taking pictures. They're like, ah, we're just having fun. Get it. Yeah. You got meatballs. They're like, ah, cool. Like it's definitely having fun. Cause like you said, it's going to ramp up. Yeah. I'm really, I'm pretty excited to see the stuff that's coming up, especially the battles. Yeah. Sometimes in manga, your eyes only see an image for like a quick second before you go into the next one. This time around, one of the few times I'm actually like, okay, yeah, I'll take it at this pace. I don't mind. Man, I'm still, I'm, I am so tempted to start reading the Demon Slayer manga. I've never come this close to being a manga board. I was at Austin Books and Comics the other day. Me too. The only thing that kept me from picking it up was that they didn't have the first issue. And I was like, no. I don't know. It's too soon. I shouldn't. Too many other things to read. Before the next time I get on, I'm going to do a little more research. The Shonen Jump app is so amazing. Every Saturday I get Demon Slayer, I get My Hero, I get Boku Ben, which is like harem boy tutoring. Oh yes, yes, yes. So good. Nice. That's not the one with the bench, is it? No. That's where I sit. I love the anime that makes me want to go read the manga. Like the very first anime that did that was, was Attack on Titan. Yeah. I need to know what happens. I need to know what's in that fucking basement. I need to know what's in that fucking basement. I need to know what's in that fucking basement. He revealed it. Yes. I should probably finish it. But then I kept reading. I just, the fire lost. And I was like, oh, there's a lot more going on. There's a lot more going on. And then I became a snob. My friends like, hey, I started watching this cool show. And it got like cool, you know, giant monsters and eating people and it's so cool. I wonder what's in the basement. I can't wait till we get there. And I'm like, ha, you pleb. Buckle up, buckaroo. Why are you hanging out with young children? I could have been like, one minute, shut up, Miles. Oh, speaking of manga, I don't know if I've talked about it. There's a new series out on Shonen Jump called Spy X Family. I heard of that. Spy X Family. I heard of that, though, whenever I left. Elevator pitch. Okay, so this takes place in an alternate history. Fuck yeah. Where essentially there are these two countries who are trying to, east-west country, trying to make peace. Main character is a spy who is making his goal to get these two countries together. He's taking out, or he's getting intel on targets who might win an election and not be for peace. So he gets a mission that he has to gain intel on the like overseer of this peace talk. And this is gonna be a long haul because the way he's gonna have to do it is he's gonna have to get a family and have his offspring, or have his offspring child go to the same school as the director's son, or as like the guy who's looking over his son. So he goes and he's like, okay, I'll go to one more fridge to just find any old daughter. Or find any old child. I was about to ask, I was like, how long of a long play is this? Cause he's gonna have to fall in love. It's still a pretty long play. Okay. So he finds this one girl. He's like, oh, maybe her, I don't know, how old, and she's like, I'm seven before he finishes talking. He's like, whoa, you seem kind of smart. And she like answers every question that he has to like test how smart this child is. Cause they have to get into a very prestigious school. So he needs a very smart child. Okay, okay. Soon as he, she like gets adopted, egg switches over to her point of view and she's a telepath. So she can read his mind and finds out that he is a spy and her favorite TV shows is spy shows. So she's like, that sounds like the coolest life ever. Also, I don't want to be an orphan cause people are always freaked out that I'm psychic. So, yeah, I'm just gonna get out. I want to go with him. So they're like, oh, perfect. Okay, cool. And they start like the interview process and it's like, okay, we're gonna get, we're gonna get this well. And she like gets the scores that she needs. You have to have a full family. You have to have a mom and a dad. So they gotta go find somebody. Enter this seemingly shy, quiet office girl. Oh my God. On the side to an assassin. I'm so into this right now. Nice. I'm so into this right now. But we got an assassin. Women who are that age in this industry or in these countries, it's like, the age that she's at, it's like, oh, you don't have a husband? Are you a spy? Like because you're not married, you're probably using like your sexual charm to go sleep with like politicians and officials. That's what we all do. To get there. That's what I do. So if you're this age, we're gonna take you in by the secret police and you're gonna get interrogated. Jesus, sorry, ugly and unlikable people. So? You're a fucking spy, I guess. They haven't run into one another and the little girl like reads her mind, it's like, oh, you're an assassin but you need to get married. Oh, I'll help you guys set up. Oh my God. Nice. So long. It is so much fun. So you said it's a manga right now? It's a manga right now, yeah. Oh. I mean, it's like super early like chapter 17, chapter 18. That was one of the like, when I was doing some research on like, oh, I feel like reading some manga, what do they have? That was one of the more like top recommended ones. It's so good. And I was like, that's an interesting concept, but I kind of just passed over it. It's so much fun. Kyle, could you pull up an image of spy ex-family? Probably spy family. That is awesome. It would take 100. Oh my God. That is awesome. The little girl is also the most precious thing that has ever existed. More precious than Brockaman girl? Yeah. Flippin' it. Oh my God. Oh my God. Look at that image at the bottom right. Bottom in the right. Yeah. Down one. That hell yeah, man. Hit. This is it. Oh, I love her. Oh boy. Oh my God, the best part is they're all attractive. Oh yeah. They're all sexy as hell. Oh my God. Oh my God, I love her. But like, it's so adorable because like the wife will come back after like a mission where she got like shot. There was like, once she got shot in the butt. And so she's like, she's trying to... He's like, oh, why is she so distant? Like she doesn't want to sit next to me. She doesn't want to like hang out. And she doesn't want to let it known that she got shot in the butt. So the daughter's like, oh, how do I help? How do I help her get along? Cause she's like, as long as they're a family, then we get to keep hanging out. Yeah. I love that cover. I am about... I'm gonna read this like immediately. Oh my God, Cole. This is such a good recommendation. The episode where she gets her school uniform is the most adorable thing. She just runs around apart going, look how cute I am. This is great. Oh my God, I love this. Oh, Cole, you've given me a gift. Are they, can I ask, can I ask, are they spies and assassins for the same side or opposing sides? Or is that not quite how it works? Not quite how it works. Okay, okay, okay. I still early on, her brother is a member of the secret police on the opposite side of him. So that's where like... This is so exciting. There starts to get more drama where... I'm so here for this. I'm so here for this. Look at this punch. She looks like baby Penny. This is super cute. You're right. It's that curl. How? Oh yeah, cause like she gets advice from her mom about how to deal with bullies. Oh, hell yeah. Nice. Oh, hell yeah. I didn't even think about that. Yeah. Like, because they're a family, you know, they have to act like a family to get family invicions. I don't know if I've said this yet. The parents don't know what each other's job is. I figure. It's a Mr. and Mrs. Yeah, exactly. Wow. I want to read that. Oh, look at that. Second row, second image. Wow. Perfect summary of the show. This is so cool. So I know, wait, did Mrs. Smith not know that each other? They eventually figured it out. I think that's the part of the movie is like them figuring it out. They try and outsmith each other. And then just bang. And then that. And then cheat on Jennifer Aniston. I don't remember. Whatever. That's the movie with Brad Pitt left Jennifer Aniston. Jennifer Aniston for Angelina Jolie. Oh, I wasn't allowed to watch. Yeah, I wasn't allowed to watch Brad Pitt movies growing up. Damn. Wait, what? Because my mom loves Jennifer Aniston. It's like, you're not gonna watch a movie with that cheater. So you now see how like I found anime because there's so much I wasn't allowed to watch for dumb reasons. So what you're saying is had Brad just behaved, you would have been a... I'm in live action right now. You would have been a Brad Pitt fucking Stan. This would be a Brad Pitt. This would be Brad's service. Brad is like that's with me. This might, we might be living in the darkest timeline, but at least we don't have Brad's service. We had a lot of like weird reasons we weren't allowed to watch shows. What's another one? Do you have it on off the top of your dome? Three cartoons I wasn't allowed to watch. Can I guess? Yes. The Simpsons, South Park and... What's a weird one? Doug, for some reason, your mom didn't like Patty Manning's. I'm not even gonna say like Winning and Stimping. You're right with one, The Simpsons. Okay. We were kind of old enough that she didn't recognize we shouldn't watch Family Guy or South Park. Like actually we didn't wanna watch South Park because we were like oh it's just dirty humor and then we watched it and it was like oh this is fun. Simpsons. The other was Fairly Odd Parents. Why? There's also a third. So these two, my mom didn't want us watching any show that undermined parents authority. It was if we make the parents seem really stupid and like they don't know what they're doing, then you're not allowed to watch. And like Timmy Turner's parents are idiots. They are idiots. So the third and final cartoon that we were not allowed to watch growing up, we also watched all of these, don't worry. Don't worry. We just stuck around behind their backs and watched them anyway. Because their parents are so dumb. I'm just kidding, I'm just kidding. That's why they didn't want you watching them. Rugrats. Rugrats. Rugrats. Rugrats. My mom didn't wanna walk in the room and see a bunch of ugly-ass babies on her TV. That's fair. They were ugly. Verbatim Quo, I don't wanna see a bunch of ugly-ass babies on my TV. This is the most wild censorship. They're pretty ugly. I agree with that last one. They're ugly. She was like, I don't know what's going on. And then like, she probably watched an episode later was like, oh, this is actually fun. Even when they grow up, they're still ugly. Oh, very ugly. When they're all grown up, they're worse when they grow up. They're worse. They're so bad. They're like 12 in that show? Yeah. Who gives a shit? They're 12 and it's all about banging. No, it is not. It is not. Oh, a good bit of it is about relationship stuff. That's why I thought they were older. What you're saying is, in this one regard, Rugrats All Grown Up was more satisfying than some anime that you've watched. Ooh. Well, I didn't watch it. My Rugrats All Grown Up was like more of my sister's jam. So like, I would come in, like she, if she gets the TV first, then we're watching. You have to sit down and watch that whole 22-minute adventure. We talked about last week. What did we watch? The number one way you get somebody to watch anime is to put it on in a room. So every morning, this is around the time Kingdom Hearts 2 come out. That's very specific because I just set the timeline, right? Every morning, I would get up first and go into a living room to prepare for school. And I would either put on Kingdom Hearts 2 and try to be self-wrote and get leveled up because you automatically get a level up. Or I put on some anime. Okay. And it was either like Inuyasha. Or like Kavojiba. Yep. So that's how my sister was kind of, she started liking the little fox thing for me, Inuyasha. Oh yeah. The one that can talk, not the one they write. No, the one that can talk? That's Chippo. The one they can write is Keita. Yeah, she started liking Chippo. And then she was like, how do we find more cartoons like this? And I was like, well, I will see you tonight at 12 a.m. There's also a little place called FYE. And she's like, I don't know if I can stay up that late. I was like, don't worry, I'll come wake you up. So I did and it was cool. You're a good big brother. I woke up, but she fell asleep like halfway through Kavojiba. Like she can't, she doesn't have the mental point to it. I was just imagining the fucking slow jazz playing as like a dead corpse floats through space. She's like, you're missing it. Yes. Like, it was the one when you first meet Vicious, so I was like, okay, this is a good one. You got some action stuff. You know, got some action and stuff when she's asleep halfway through it. And I was like, oh. Vicious's showing up, he's showing up. But Julia, but Julia. Fucking every time real folk blues comes on, she's gone. This is how I knew I loved my sister. Yeah. She got super into G Gundam. Hell yeah. She did not know what was going on, but she like stuck to a Gundam and it was her Gundam. Oh, that's so cool. It was her Gundam. Her Gundam was, I don't want to, because the Gundam was a racist. Let's just put that. They were very... I remember. She had, she liked the, she liked two of them. She liked the Mexican one. That was my first guess. Because she not. And then she liked the master. The main character's master. Yeah, was that the Shadow Gundam? I think so. Because she wanted the main dude to be the master. Like she was just into that and then she just thought the Mexican Gundam was funny. Like, it was great. That's got to have some rich. Might is. My brother and I, we had a very... I'm wearing like a... My brother and I had a similar G Gundam experience where he loved the Bolt Gundam. Really? Like he's always been about like brute force. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And the Bolt Gundam has like a ball and chain that just throws and like electrocutes people. Very cool. It's the Russia's Gundam. And then I loved the Dragon Gundam, China's Gundam, because they had like the arms that could... And like shoot fire. She didn't like the ending though. She didn't like the fact that he got the girl. I don't know why. Maybe because she wanted him. Maybe. She wasn't that invested. Get out of here. It was like a fun thing to do and it was all colorful and stuff. But she was like, so what? They're together now? And I was like, yes. And they used all that love to get out of here. And you got to go. And that was when your loved ceased for your sister. Yep. Haven't spoken to her since. Well, hopefully we'll try to figure that out. I think it's about time. Yeah, yeah. Time for friends to leave. Time for friends to leave. And go watch more anime. And hopefully we will too. Yes, actually I'll be gone next week. So it'll... We are on our own again. We're gonna not talk about anime. Definitely not gonna talk about anime. Oh my God. You heard it then. Tune in next week for Rugrats. All grown up service. Oh yes! Please talk about anime. All grown up. We will know. Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da. Stop singing. Stop singing. Stop. Stop. Stop out.
