WEBVTT 00:20.730 --> 00:29.590 Hello and welcome to are we there yet? In education and exploration of anime. I am your anime idiot, patrick dugan. 00:30.010 --> 00:32.850 I am an anime expert, dana hollander. 00:32.930 --> 00:37.800 I'm Brendan. I don't get a title. I feel like experts too generous for me. 00:39.850 --> 00:42.780 Scholar? Do you want to go scholar or something? 00:43.870 --> 00:47.610 I'm your anime undergrad. I'm still working on that title. 00:48.670 --> 00:49.882 That makes sense. 00:50.016 --> 00:52.960 I get drunk and watch anime. Just like a college student. 00:53.890 --> 00:59.390 And joining us this week, we have our first guest. Please introduce yourself. 00:59.540 --> 01:04.290 Hi, I'm Paul. I'm dana's boyfriend. I'm the anime guest of the week. 01:04.360 --> 01:07.170 You are the anime traveling professor. 01:07.590 --> 01:08.542 The social suit. 01:08.606 --> 01:10.078 The guest speaker. 01:10.254 --> 01:21.030 Yes. This week we are watching Fooly couli flcl. I don't know which one's official. Hopefully someone will teach me that. 01:21.180 --> 01:24.098 Also pooty cootie, foodie cootie. 01:24.194 --> 01:26.982 Okay, so already I'm messing it up. 01:27.036 --> 01:29.994 Which is pretty much just how Japanese people would pronounce it. 01:30.032 --> 01:33.830 It's got a few names. Yeah, it's a mysterious entity with many names. 01:33.910 --> 01:35.450 It is definitely strange. 01:37.790 --> 01:47.518 So what is the reasoning for picking this? Oh, you actually picked this one this week. If you want to walk us through why this made the cut. 01:47.684 --> 01:56.738 Well, hooley coolie is probably one of my favorite animes. I think it's weird. And I used to watch it in the middle of the night when I was like, twelve. 01:56.824 --> 02:00.020 I think this has been a recurring theme for us. 02:01.190 --> 02:02.622 Late night anime sessions. 02:02.686 --> 02:20.214 Late night Anime I think the first episode I watched was the last episode. It didn't make any sense. So I watched the first episode and it didn't make any sense, so I kept watching. And it's been how old am I? It's been ten years after and I still watch it. I just really like it. 02:20.252 --> 02:33.146 I feel like that's a common especially with this show, it's a common story of like, yeah, I found the random episode one night. I had no idea what's going on and just stuck with it because that's how a lot of my friends saw it. 02:33.248 --> 02:46.900 Well, for me, it was like, I saw some of it. I watched all of it, I think, but I just didn't pay good attention. And then it's kind of more of like, yeah, I watched one episode and it didn't make sense. And then I walked the whole thing and it didn't make sense. 02:48.550 --> 02:51.342 You were selling this so well to me, Ron. 02:51.406 --> 02:56.360 I know, right? But I'm so curious to know what dudes thinks it's about. 02:57.050 --> 03:24.370 Yeah. So this is another show I knew nothing about except the title and that it was coming back in some way as of now. But I'm going to say it is about based off the title. It's a sequel to the hit game ftl. It's flcl. So it's a top down, real time strategy anime where you fly a space ship. 03:24.470 --> 03:25.790 God, I wish. 03:27.570 --> 03:29.120 That'S not too far off. 03:29.970 --> 03:31.742 All right, I'm on track. 03:31.876 --> 03:36.962 Shout out to Justin Ma, creator of fcl make an anime. It could work. Yeah. 03:37.016 --> 03:39.218 Call us up. We'll help you. 03:39.304 --> 03:45.326 We can't do anything which doesn't dodgely. Go. Yes, quite all right. 03:45.448 --> 04:19.166 So we will stop and watch the episodes, and we will be right back. I had to watch this twice because it was just undigestible to me on that first B one. 04:19.268 --> 04:22.622 It's very much yeah, it's a lot. 04:22.676 --> 04:26.942 It's a lot for a short series. It's like yeah, I think it's actually a miniseries. Yeah. 04:26.996 --> 04:48.040 For the past couple episodes, I realize I've been kind of guiding us through the episodes and saying, this is where we are. This is what's going on. And this particular instance, it all happens so fast that I have trouble remembering exactly where we are at what point in time. So Paul kind of might have to help me. 04:49.290 --> 05:03.002 Yeah. I was like, I sort of host. I need to pull my weight. I'll start saying what happens in the episodes, but I cannot help you this week. I cannot even begin to understand what's going on. 05:03.136 --> 05:03.820 Yeah. 05:04.670 --> 05:09.018 Fully cooley is our anime vision quest, and Paul is our spirit guide. 05:09.194 --> 05:11.882 Follow me through the anime wilds. 05:11.946 --> 05:13.082 The power within. 05:13.236 --> 05:14.322 The power within. 05:14.456 --> 05:15.890 We all took peyote. 05:16.470 --> 05:18.894 I feel like it's odd. 05:18.942 --> 05:20.894 Yeah. It's trippy as shit. 05:21.022 --> 05:28.980 Starting towards the beginning, I want to point out that I was expecting an anime intro, and I did not get an anime intro. 05:29.670 --> 05:33.960 Yeah. When we started watching it, I was like, oh, yeah, there isn't one. 05:36.490 --> 05:57.146 Which is kind of interesting considering how I don't know if this shows necessarily music oriented, but how impactful the music is in the episodes. Because I know the bands, The pillows got a huge following after the show because it's just so like, all their music, I think, is The pillows. I think it's one band. 05:57.258 --> 06:04.210 Yeah, it's all The pillows that does like they do every track. It's pretty cool. I really like their music. I think they're tight. 06:04.790 --> 06:13.154 Yeah. I was really enjoying it. I was getting the strong Scott pilgrim vibes that came from this. 06:13.272 --> 06:21.526 Yeah. So I guess we start off with now Time mimi hanging out, right? 06:21.628 --> 06:22.280 Yeah. 06:23.050 --> 06:27.574 So they're hanging out under the bridge where all the cool kids go, I guess. 06:27.772 --> 06:34.410 Got to pay the troll toll. Something came out of that hole. 06:37.870 --> 06:40.970 If it's where the cool kids hang out, they're the cool kids. 06:41.120 --> 06:43.402 Oh, yeah. I immediately take that back then. 06:43.536 --> 06:46.022 Yeah. recon. 06:46.166 --> 06:59.540 They're just hanging out. My my first note is literally a quote. And it says, what are you talking about? And I put oh, me too. But now it's just complaining about how boring the town is. 06:59.910 --> 07:14.978 Yeah. Nothing ever interesting happens, which feels like a quote in probably every anime ever. And then a dragon shows up or like, alien. Then something incredible happens. I mean, supremacy of every anime. 07:14.994 --> 07:32.250 I suppose I was starting to think like, hey, is this going to be, like, my first slice of life anime. Then the next scene, they move up on top of the bridge where they are ambushed by a mysterious stranger on a moped. 07:32.990 --> 07:44.690 He doesn't like sour drinks. And my favorite note that I wrote this whole time is when she gives him the sour drink. He says, this is half empty, and he throws it. So I wrote, this bitch is half empty. 07:49.190 --> 07:51.378 I wasn't proud of it, but I felt the same thing. 07:51.464 --> 07:59.814 Also very early on. This is my fifth note down the page I put, man, dubs have really gotten better over the years, no? 07:59.852 --> 08:01.650 Yeah, this is rough. 08:01.730 --> 08:12.506 Yeah. I think the voice I have the most trouble with is mami. I just feel like her voice is like it doesn't look good with her. It doesn't sound good with her. 08:12.528 --> 09:06.358 I mean, I think she's a pretty reserved character. When she was talking, her mouth didn't move that much. Versus some of the other characters, like hakaru, whose mouth is just going crazy in a mile a minute. And all of heruka, I'm sure, both names, that's going to be a trend in this podcast. But yeah, her mouth is going like a mile a minute and just flying all over the place. Versus mami, who seems to be very reserved and yeah, I don't know about quiet, but a quiet personality. So she'll be talking, but her mouth won't even be moving that much. So it takes there's a few times where I was like, wait, is she just thinking this, or the main character? I kept writing his name down as Tacoon. I think it's a nickname formata. Yeah. A few times with him, he was talking or thinking and I couldn't naturally differentiate because it wasn't showing the mouth. 09:06.454 --> 09:10.914 Yeah. It was kind of hard to follow. What was the inside thoughts. 09:11.062 --> 09:11.760 Yeah. 09:12.450 --> 09:16.590 Stylistic. So yeah, they're ambushed. 09:18.130 --> 09:27.778 Well, one thing I noticed, my first note was very yellow. Like, this whole series has just got a big coating of a yellow and like a light orange across everything. It seems like. 09:27.864 --> 09:28.306 Yeah. 09:28.408 --> 09:33.250 Isn't bad, but definitely separates and gives it a specific style to it. 09:33.320 --> 09:34.690 Pretty ethereal. 09:35.190 --> 09:42.194 A lot of the afternoon vibes of like, post school between like three and five when you're supposed to be home. 09:42.312 --> 09:42.606 Yeah. 09:42.648 --> 09:44.840 And you just kind of like fuck around to do whatever. 09:45.210 --> 09:49.962 It feels like a very September show of early school. 09:50.096 --> 10:02.014 It also feels like if you think about it in a different tone, a little grimy, which I feel like is also pretty indicative of what the show is and what happens in it. 10:02.132 --> 10:03.738 Yeah, that's a little nasty. 10:03.914 --> 10:04.640 Yeah. 10:06.130 --> 10:21.810 I wouldn't say it's a pretty show, but not as an insult. Like if they were intentionally going for that kind of rough around the edges. nothing's very clean. It's very jagged for a lot of the style, but it works. 10:21.960 --> 10:24.258 Yeah. haruka rides in. 10:24.424 --> 10:26.050 A new challenger appears. 10:28.730 --> 10:31.750 Man, I love the direction they've gone with Smash ultimate. 10:33.290 --> 10:34.102 Oh, my God. 10:34.156 --> 10:36.726 Nothing'S off the table this time around. 10:36.908 --> 10:37.830 She'd be great. 10:37.900 --> 11:16.418 Actually, if we could get in before waluigi, I never trust Nintendo again. I'd be fine with it. But I wrote down she's kind of just this agent of chaos because before this, like Duke said, it kind of just seemed like a slice of life. It just seems like pretty chill. Two kids hanging out, talking, and everything seemed pretty tame. And then she comes, like, flying in, and they were rolling around on her moped, screaming super loud. Like, anytime she appears, it just becomes a crazy over the top anime. And it's, like, specifically centered around her whenever she's in a scene. 11:16.514 --> 11:20.280 That's what happens when you hang out with people that are just too extra. 11:25.050 --> 11:33.660 I love her. I think she's very funny and very pretty. I like her eyes. 11:34.430 --> 11:35.642 The yellow eyes. 11:35.776 --> 11:36.460 Yeah. 11:36.830 --> 11:50.720 No, yeah. She is definitely my favorite character because she actually has stuff going on and has, like, a personality which isn't super pronounced in the other two. 11:51.490 --> 11:52.240 Yeah. 11:53.090 --> 11:58.226 I don't know. They have personality. They're just not good personality. They're just shitty people. 11:58.408 --> 12:05.880 Oh, something we skipped over. Is that mami and nata kind of fool around? 12:06.650 --> 12:23.498 Yeah, I remembered it from the series from when I first watched it, but I didn't realize it happened so early. Not even kind of address it, but allude to it so quickly. It's within the first five minutes. Yeah, it's three minutes, maybe. 12:23.584 --> 12:38.640 And Paul actually put it in a really interesting way that I think we should probably get to in, like, a little bit. But, like yeah, he makes it make a lot of sense, and I think it's really cool and interesting. When he explained it to me, I was like, oh, yeah. 12:39.170 --> 12:41.178 But anyway, insightful. 12:41.274 --> 12:51.060 Yeah, because I got an idea. But like I said, I don't remember a ton, so I don't know how true it is. So I'd be interested to hear what Paul has to say because he knows more than all of us. 12:52.390 --> 12:57.874 But Saharika smacks nauta with her bass. 12:57.922 --> 13:00.470 Guitar, slapping the bass. 13:03.930 --> 13:04.850 Ouch. 13:05.010 --> 13:07.078 It just square in the head. 13:07.244 --> 13:14.726 Yeah, he gets run over by the moped, gets hit in the head, and they think he's dead because he's, like, out cold. 13:14.838 --> 13:19.100 Man, wasn't entertainment and cartoons much more fun before we understood what concussions were? 13:21.570 --> 13:25.870 This series is tainted by the developments in football science. 13:27.490 --> 13:30.298 Every main character of an anime I know wears a football helmet. 13:30.394 --> 13:32.170 Got to protect the noodle. 13:32.330 --> 13:37.726 Take that dome piece. It's coming from a person who's cracked his skull open three separate times. 13:37.828 --> 13:38.640 Oh, yeah. 13:39.750 --> 13:41.026 Wow, that's a lot. 13:41.128 --> 13:42.530 It's close to home. 13:42.680 --> 13:50.100 Yeah, it turns out super easy to do when you're a soft, squishy baby with a soft skull. I turned out. 13:52.330 --> 13:54.470 Well. I mean, you never remember names. 13:54.890 --> 14:04.380 That's not my fault. I don't understand Japanese. That's not true. I don't remember English American cartoons either. I just don't care about people. I'm dead inside. 14:05.550 --> 14:12.270 And brendan's a sociopath. Anyway, moving on back to the new stuff. 14:12.420 --> 14:27.842 Yeah. So he gets smacked in the head and we see he's got like a big super square lump, like an absurdly long square bruise coming out of his forehead. Yeah. 14:27.896 --> 14:31.460 Not normal. Not necessarily normal, no. 14:32.470 --> 14:39.480 But he's able to go back in when he just pushes on it. So he just puts a bandaid over top of it to keep it from exploding out of his face. 14:41.210 --> 14:43.720 What happens right after that? He goes home. 14:45.450 --> 15:03.374 Yeah, he goes home and then starts hiding the horn and then it cuts to him in school the next day with a big bandage on his head. Everyone's talking about the mysterious demon woman on a vespa that was seen last night. 15:03.572 --> 15:06.160 Yeah. Made quite a name for herself real quick. 15:06.530 --> 15:07.278 Yeah. 15:07.444 --> 15:17.890 I love glasses. Boy. Oh, yeah, he has, in my opinion I wrote this later on, too, I think, in the second episode. But I feel like he has the best voice actor. 15:20.070 --> 15:29.446 He seems to be the over to the top high energy friend out of that friend group. He seems quick to react to stuff. 15:29.548 --> 15:33.560 Although in this show give me all the exposition because I have no idea. 15:34.170 --> 15:34.918 Good point. 15:35.004 --> 15:39.270 Things happen so fast, I forgot how, like, fast everything happens in this show. 15:39.340 --> 15:42.022 Reminiscent of Death Note, but definitely. 15:42.076 --> 15:59.086 Oh, God. Yeah. Even Soul Leader, we skipped, like, from episode one to, like, episode, I think, like seven to the 23 or so. Yeah. This just drags out for five episodes. We don't need any of this versus this show, which is only six episodes. Like, we got go, go quick look like. 15:59.188 --> 16:12.482 So, yeah, when he's going on about her, I forget exactly what this is in reference to, but he says he she gives you something that shows you've been doing naughty things and it never goes away. 16:12.616 --> 16:16.290 It's a sting. She leaves, like, a mark on you, like a bug stings you. 16:16.360 --> 16:29.050 So I wrote I love abstinence. I mean, this is the first hint at what this show is really about, what it's trying to convey. 16:32.830 --> 17:20.042 I thought that also was a hint at tycoons and mami's fooling around from earlier. I thought that was kind of a hint towards that as well. So that's kind of an indication that's, like yeah, it's not just a tickle fight. I was going to say subtlety. wink, wink. nudge, nudge. Little too much nudging. Yeah. So his classmates see, he's got like a little red sting mark on his neck and immediately starts screaming that he's a pervert. Which as you do, as you do, you call your friends on there. You king shame them in public right away. If you can't king shame your friends, who can you? 17:20.176 --> 17:34.320 Yeah. And Mamimi preferably. At which point they say it bluntly in the second episode, but he is in elementary school and mami is in high school. 17:34.930 --> 17:35.680 Yeah. 17:37.330 --> 17:55.714 They never make it clear specifically what grade. He just says, like, grade school. I'm hoping it's, like, more upper middle school, if they're trying to go with that. And it's not like a fifth grader in a high schooler together. 17:55.912 --> 18:24.378 Yeah, I looked it up because especially with different countries, it's always tricky with schools and grades because, like, high school, freshman, junior, sophomore, senior, they don't have that, I think, in any other country. And then, like, England, they have primary school, which is like first grade to fifth or something. So it's always confusing. So I looked it up, but tycoon's twelve and Lemimi is 17, so I don't know about grade wise, but that's their actual ages. 18:24.554 --> 18:27.870 Okay. Yeah. That's still not great. 18:28.020 --> 18:52.934 Not good. It's better than, like, a third grader, but still not great. Still not great. So this immediately when I realized this, and when I heard this, I immediately was thinking, like, mumi is not a good person. She seems like a good, entertaining character for a show and a story. But I'm like, she's not someone I feel like the audience is supposed to have sympathy for. 18:53.132 --> 18:56.886 Yeah, she gets a little nuts, especially. 18:56.988 --> 19:16.442 Since it's also framed as well. When we get to the next few scenes comes up again. But they say that she is, like, his older brother's girlfriend crush something bone buddy. 19:16.586 --> 19:24.740 Which kind of ties into paul's explanation for me about why nata and mami kind of fool around. 19:25.510 --> 19:36.286 Because they both kind of, like, lose this. They both lose him, basically, because you find out he goes to America to play baseball. 19:36.478 --> 19:37.246 Baseball. 19:37.358 --> 19:41.480 And this is kind of how they deal with it, I guess, in a very fucked up way. 19:42.330 --> 20:06.154 Yeah. It seems like they're bonding over their loss of a person they both love or care for, but it's still unsettling them. He is taking her feelings both, I guess, emotional. We see a bit of emphysical for his brother and putting him on him, who is much younger. And it's like, that's not good. 20:06.352 --> 20:17.986 No. Yeah. It's really fucked up. I guess it's probably similar to what his brother did to her because she's, I guess, younger in high school than him, obviously, because he's already gone out of high school. 20:18.168 --> 20:19.620 Yeah, that makes sense. 20:20.230 --> 20:21.774 So it's just a cycle. 20:21.902 --> 20:22.338 Yeah. 20:22.424 --> 20:28.840 Like continuing the chain of weird, abusive age relations. 20:29.370 --> 20:33.160 This is the weirdest episode of Law and router svu I've ever seen. 20:34.730 --> 20:35.480 Done. 20:36.250 --> 20:44.166 So they kind of meet up after school, and now it goes home and surprise, haruka is his new housekeeper. 20:44.278 --> 21:22.280 Yeah. And the introduction of this is it just cuts to pages of manga for the rest of the scene. Which is not excellent because this is also how they introduce the dad and grandpa character in black and white. 2d. Well, it's all 2d, but just the pages of manga animated. And it's very weird. And this is mostly why I had to rewatch was they introduced a lot of things in this drastic and sudden style change. 21:23.530 --> 21:48.238 Yeah, it's not really a tonal change, but it's the style I change. And knowing it was weird going into it, I was fully prepared for something like this and loved it. It was so different and really well done. But if this is your first time going in, like, dudes, I can completely understand where it's like, I heard none of this. I didn't hear any dialogue. I was still recoiling from the dramatic change. So I can fully understand why you had to rewatch this scene in particular. 21:48.404 --> 22:07.110 No, I definitely enjoyed it. It was a cool shift. But if you're going to introduce that much vital information, as in, here are two central characters that are the dad and grandpa that you see many times after this, maybe you don't do it in a completely new style. 22:08.410 --> 22:13.654 Maybe this would have worked better when noita and his friends characters were already. 22:13.692 --> 22:21.494 Familiar with or even past episode one, or even the second scene with the dad and grandpa. 22:21.622 --> 22:42.954 Yeah, I think it really set a good point, though, for his family. His dad and grandfather are just fully on board with this wandering stranger being their housekeeper and the grandfather's caretaker and are just absolutely insane. Like, the dad's out of his mind and at one point actually says, Fooly Cooley. 22:43.082 --> 22:45.802 Yeah, the title of the show. 22:45.876 --> 22:53.650 In the show, they said the thing and then now it just says, what's fooly Cooley? And it's just like, oh, same. 22:53.800 --> 23:00.294 Yeah, I'm still wondering from what I. 23:00.332 --> 23:26.350 Get, I think he was just trying to ask, like, Noelta and Hukaro already know each other and he's like, now you're going to live with each other? How are you already familiar? How do you already have this relationship with each other? Are you going to be fooling around? Are you going to be cool and fooling around? Fully coolly and kind of just dizzling each other. So that's what I thought it was. 23:26.420 --> 23:34.890 I mean, he talks in circles for a while and it is just a bunch of nonsense, but that's what it is. Like, Fooly cooley is just fooling around. 23:35.060 --> 23:49.622 Yeah, I remember one, I didn't write it down, but he was like, saying something about cupcakes, like, finally cupcakes or something. And I was like, all right, he's talking in circles, but his method is still the same thing. It's just an incoherent mess. 23:49.756 --> 23:57.960 There's a lot of going on and tweaking motions and a bunch of weird stuff I would never talk to my grandpa about. 23:59.530 --> 24:07.820 I might talk to my grandpa about. It definitely not my maybe not my parents. I don't know. Maybe I'm more open about that than I should be. 24:08.750 --> 24:10.970 Were you just kind of cool, Grandpa? 24:11.710 --> 24:13.014 Give a shit now? 24:13.152 --> 24:15.150 Grandpa is kind of gross. 24:16.210 --> 24:34.254 Yeah, he's pretty gross. Real quick, it's in the next episode, but it's not really crucial. But he asks someone to go out and pick him up on Anna Nicole centerfold, which is very dated and time, like, very telling of the time because she's dead. 24:34.382 --> 24:36.450 Way to make that choice. funimation. 24:38.070 --> 24:57.482 But, I mean, I understand why they picked her because she is kind of like I mean, we don't really have idols as much in America, but she would have been, like, a beauty idol at the time that this was being written and stuff, but yeah, it's very like, oh, wow. How old is this? It's like yeah, it was dubbed in English, I think, in 2002 or three. 24:57.616 --> 24:58.202 Yeah. 24:58.336 --> 25:04.618 So around then. But yeah. The grandpa you see where all the crazy comes from? It's genetic. 25:04.794 --> 25:07.614 Yeah. This family has a lot going on. 25:07.812 --> 25:09.760 You understand why the brother left. 25:10.930 --> 25:15.140 So haruka is going to be living in nauta's room. 25:17.350 --> 25:27.350 Not on the top bunk, though. No, that's for the brother. Got to preserve it. And I think that's kind of it for the first episode. 25:27.930 --> 25:29.670 TV man arrives. 25:31.610 --> 25:37.686 Yeah, that's it for the first episode. Nothing else happens. Nothing cool. Yes. I entirely forget about that. 25:37.788 --> 25:51.646 Yeah. And I forget what they talk about, but I feel like harika and now to have a pretty cool conversation in his room where he yells at her about something. 25:51.828 --> 26:11.154 Oh, basically, he's starting to get mad at her for some reason, and then he ends it with, if you like my dad so much, you came here with him, you should go stay with him, pretty much. And then she's like, Well, I'm here for you. Kind of that's kind of weird now. 26:11.192 --> 26:16.510 That I say it back, because she is 20 ish. 26:16.670 --> 26:24.726 Well, there's a scene in particular, I think she says she's 19, and then I think she's immediately called out about lying about her age. 26:24.828 --> 26:25.238 Yeah. 26:25.324 --> 26:27.382 So I think she is 20, but lies about it. 26:27.436 --> 26:29.478 Yeah. She can't be that much older. 26:29.654 --> 26:41.270 Yeah. So I think she was kind of, like, hinting at, like, I'm here for you. You're important. And that like a young boy. You get very flustered, and he turns very red and leaves. 26:41.350 --> 26:42.766 Yeah. You run outside. 26:42.948 --> 27:02.206 Yeah. And then that's when he bumps into his dad, who was sent yeah. mami came by and gave him some of the pictures she took earlier because she snapped pictures all the time. She's a shutter bug. And she gave some pictures of noota. 27:02.398 --> 27:05.800 Getting hit by heart because moped that's right. 27:06.970 --> 27:22.234 For insurance purposes, he got injured statistic. Yeah. But so his dad gave mami a bunch of day old bread. I guess they're some sort of bakery or something. Is that very clear? 27:22.352 --> 27:23.046 They make bread? 27:23.078 --> 27:23.178 Yeah. 27:23.184 --> 27:24.298 They run a shop. 27:24.464 --> 27:44.146 Yeah. So he gave her a bunch of the leftover bread from that day, and he's asking noah if she's pretty blunt with it. He's asking if she's poor, like, if she needs free food because they can't afford it. At which point, no to just immediately takes off and runs after her. Guess he had some things he wanted to discuss. 27:44.328 --> 27:55.326 Yeah. So they meet up again on the bridge where they were earlier, and bammi is eating the bread, just hanging on the bridge. Has a cigarette. 27:55.518 --> 27:59.442 Cigarette. She's a she's a tough tier. She smokes. 27:59.586 --> 28:00.280 Yeah. 28:00.730 --> 28:07.302 They start talking about how hard it is to have the brother out of the country for both of them. 28:07.436 --> 28:07.926 Yeah. 28:08.028 --> 28:16.554 And that's kind of when I started piecing together, like, oh, she's substituting. noota, like, her feelings for his brother and just putting them on him. 28:16.672 --> 28:17.338 Yeah. 28:17.504 --> 28:21.082 I was like, mimi seems cool, but. 28:21.136 --> 28:48.034 She'S not her story. Her stuff with nauta's brother is, like, really upsetting and sad, and that's kind of what leads her to do stuff with nauta. As a viewer, you have mixed feelings about her because you feel bad for her for what happened with nauta's brother, but also you feel kind of gross about her because she's messing around with a maybe eleven or twelve year old. 28:48.152 --> 29:19.550 The preposter boy. Yeah. It seems like she's in a pretty bad situation. Like, 17 year old is not smoking just for the hell of it, just for the cake. It seems like she's using it as a stress reliever or something. And yeah, she was taking the free bread. And some of the other school kids have talked about how she's kind of weird or gets picked on a bullied. So it seems like she's clearly in a bad situation, but that doesn't excuse bad things she does herself. 29:19.890 --> 29:20.640 Yeah. 29:22.530 --> 29:34.594 It'S unfortunate, but that's good character writing. It's good where you empathize with the character, but you're also not sympathizing with them, you're not approving of what they do. Yeah, it's a tough situation. 29:34.792 --> 29:46.934 And then while they're talking, there's some weird, like, frequency that they hear, which triggers some pretty interesting reactions in both mami and nawata. Yeah. 29:46.972 --> 29:51.490 Mamimi says she has to fool around. Momotoral, she overflows. 29:51.650 --> 29:52.360 Yeah. 29:53.610 --> 29:58.566 At this time, she starts holding her head, saying that she's about to overflow, whatever that means. 29:58.748 --> 29:59.510 Blink. 30:02.130 --> 30:17.460 And what that means, naturally, is a giant robot out of the giant horn that was there from being hit. And this giant robot starts fighting another robotic thing that sort of flies in. 30:17.990 --> 30:32.930 Yeah, it looks like it's. Another robotic arm gets pulled out of his head, but then it gets cut off before the rest of the body does. But the arm is still, like, centine. It's still moving around and alive. So the whole robot is fighting the one robot arm. 30:33.090 --> 30:34.760 Man, this show has everything. 30:36.330 --> 30:40.186 Yeah. This is where I was like, oh, yeah. Not slice of life. 30:40.368 --> 30:45.740 Cool. This is the weird stuff. If it wasn't already right. 30:46.270 --> 30:51.358 They fight, robot fight, robot fight, robot fight. 30:51.444 --> 30:53.690 And then haruka. 30:53.850 --> 30:55.120 You said it right. 30:58.130 --> 31:19.926 I'm reading it the entire time. It's up on my other monitor, and I still can't get her into it. Just now, she hears something. Oh, no. She's got like, a bracelet with, like, a link on it, like, sort of chain link. And it starts, like, flailing around, and she looks over at where noota is and starts riding over to it. And that's when she gets there and sees the big old robot fight. 31:20.028 --> 31:22.226 She smacks them with the base, jumps. 31:22.258 --> 31:24.626 In, slams them down when she hits. 31:24.658 --> 31:34.714 The full robot, and it goes from red to blue. And then does she do the killing blow on the robot arm or does the robot do it? 31:34.912 --> 31:44.590 I think she does it because then that leads into now it's looking up at her and saying, in that moment, I probably shouldn't have said it, but she looks like my brother. 31:44.930 --> 31:56.350 That's right. So it's very reminiscent of baseball and beating the shit out of people with a bass guitar. The same thing feels like a comparison of a sincity. 31:57.350 --> 32:00.740 So now they have a robot man yeah. 32:01.510 --> 32:11.442 No one really addresses it. It just cuts, like, the next scene and the robot's making dough. Okay, everyone's cool with this? 32:11.496 --> 32:31.786 Okay. I love this boy. Also, toward the end, I forget it happens earlier, too, when they just say Japanese words toward the end. One of them just goes on it instead of saying, like, what? In English. And earlier, too, when haruka's shaking. nawata, he says something in Japanese. But I didn't write down what it was. But I just love that they do. 32:31.808 --> 32:34.238 That I didn't even know because it. 32:34.244 --> 32:41.280 Really just contributes to the absolute nonsense and inability to understand what's going on. 32:42.630 --> 32:44.446 But, yeah, that was it for the first episode. 32:44.558 --> 32:45.220 Yeah. 32:46.230 --> 32:49.934 So, still super confused going into episode. 32:49.982 --> 32:59.266 Two, we didn't even talk about the big factory that's in town. That's just a giant iron. Like, it just blows steam out steam at the time. 32:59.288 --> 32:59.534 Yeah. 32:59.592 --> 33:00.854 Everyone's okay with that? 33:00.972 --> 33:03.970 It supposedly makes, like, medical machinery. 33:04.130 --> 33:09.802 Yeah, supposedly. You're suspicious of it? dugan oh, yeah. 33:09.856 --> 33:12.858 The giant, mysterious factory in town that. 33:13.024 --> 33:15.930 Has no windows and no doors. 33:17.230 --> 33:20.682 Super normal. I'm sure nothing bad will happen there. 33:20.816 --> 33:24.414 It's like the wonka factory. That's normal, right? 33:24.452 --> 33:36.110 Yeah. I think, again, this episode kind of starts like it seems like stuff is a little normal, except there's a robot. 33:37.350 --> 33:55.190 Because I do, like, at the end, after the robot fight, nauta's. Like, yeah, nothing happens in this town while a robot is just needing some bread and helping with the store. And I was like, okay, yeah, I'm into this. Just, like, normal life with my robot friend. 33:55.260 --> 33:59.478 I have a lot fewer notes for this episode, I think just because I was watching it. 33:59.564 --> 34:12.166 Maybe I've had a few problems like that, too. With other shows we've already done where I'm like, I have to not watch it, not be sucked into it. As, like, a viewer, you have to actively pay attention and write stuff down. 34:12.208 --> 34:24.542 And with this one, it's tough because as a viewer, you're trying to understand what's going on and. It's hard to be like, oh, that's significant. Or like, that's an interesting thing that happened because you're just watching it. 34:24.676 --> 34:29.410 Yeah. Progression just really ramps up in this episode of story stuff. 34:29.480 --> 34:31.902 It's a good episode. I really like this episode. 34:31.966 --> 34:42.200 This is probably one of my favorite episodes, honestly. It's kind of a little darker than the first one. I think. It just feels a lot different. 34:42.810 --> 34:57.114 Yeah, there is some dark stuff going on. They announced that there is potentially an arsonist in town that is right around when they show mami playing an arson video game. 34:57.232 --> 35:00.990 Yeah. Where you light stuff on fire for Lord Conti. 35:02.610 --> 35:03.360 Yeah. 35:04.450 --> 35:14.930 It sort of seemed like they were going for a reveal at the end. Is she the arsonist? But, like, the first shot, she's playing an arson video game and it's like, okay. 35:15.080 --> 35:22.580 And she also refers to TV Robot Man as Conti saying, pretty obvious. 35:23.110 --> 35:26.930 Yeah. It's not their best kept secret. 35:27.750 --> 35:39.750 I think after watching the full episode and seeing the Anti, it's like, oh, yeah, it's so obvious now. But early on it was kind of like because I don't know, maybe it was just me. I didn't really realize what the game she was playing was at first. 35:39.900 --> 35:52.220 Paul asked me, like, straight up after we were done watching it, he was like, so you could tell mami was the arsonist, right? And I was like, yes, but I guess for some people it's not obvious. 35:53.230 --> 36:04.866 I kind of got the idea of it, but the game wasn't the big giveaway for me because, I don't know, maybe I was distracted to thinking about something else. But it wasn't super obvious that the game was about burning buildings down. 36:04.968 --> 36:34.730 Well, it's sort of in another stylistic change later on in the episode. It sort of cuts to now to giving the rule manual for the game of, like, you have to burn down all these buildings for your god and then your god will release you from this world. And then a lot of very deep stuff for what seemed like an arcade game on early cellphone Tomagotchi. 36:36.110 --> 37:03.922 Yeah, that was pretty much the giveaway moment, where it's like, yeah, here's all the pieces. And while he's explained the rules of the game, they're also overlapping earlier scenes from the last two episodes. And all of them sitting around. My mimi and the school her and noah's brother went to burnt down when they were younger. And noah's brother saved her from the burning school and, like, a bunch of other stuff. So it's kind of like laying it on pretty heavy, of like if you didn't catch it yet. Here you go. 37:04.056 --> 37:12.962 Also, she sits in a circle of candles with lighters on her head. So, I mean oh, no, they weren't candles. 37:13.106 --> 37:19.890 They were cigarettes. The one she was smoking, they had, like, texts written on the side of them. They had, like, words written. I forget it's. 37:19.970 --> 37:24.794 Never knows best. I think they're written on like, most of her cigarettes have that written on them. 37:24.912 --> 37:29.878 Yeah, I think it does introduce it when she's smoking on the bridge at the end of the previous episode. 37:29.974 --> 37:30.666 Yeah. 37:30.848 --> 37:46.034 I will say at the beginning of this episode, my first note was just seizure warning because God damn last drove right off the bat. They do X rays on noah's head. Chicken out. If he's got at the end of the first one, he gets a second horn. Yeah. 37:46.072 --> 37:50.126 When it opens up, he has more horns after being like, oh, that's all resolved. 37:50.238 --> 37:54.340 Yeah. I forgot about Nurse haruka. I love that. 37:55.190 --> 38:10.554 He's got, like, a traditional spike horn out of the front, and he's got a really big, like, I don't know, flat horn out of the back of his head now. And they're doing X rays on him with the Mr. TV Robot Man, who can do X rays because why not? 38:10.672 --> 38:17.034 His dad refers to him as TV Boy. He's TV boy to me. 38:17.072 --> 38:17.980 TV Boy. 38:19.150 --> 38:26.318 I think he can do X rays because he's possibly made by Medical mechanica, the medical place. 38:26.484 --> 38:31.530 I believe he's said to be, like, a broken medical robot. 38:31.610 --> 38:32.318 That's right. 38:32.404 --> 38:34.640 And he can't really do anything else. 38:35.270 --> 38:37.582 Except for fighting giant robots. 38:37.726 --> 38:39.170 Yeah, he does that pretty well. 38:39.240 --> 38:50.610 What's the part where he I wrote down there were quotes that made me laugh in this episode, and one of them was this referring to now it says, dad, someone said he wrote a whole book on eva. 38:50.690 --> 39:21.930 Yeah, because he starts kind of monologuing about because noah has given him shit of like, hey, don't have the robot load up your car full of stuff because our neighbors will see a crazy robot and start asking questions, which is a reasonable response. And noah's dad just starts monologuing about, I guess, free will and what it is to be human and a robot. And yeah, that's my note that says, oh, yeah, he wrote a book about eva, which is evangelion. 39:22.010 --> 39:27.330 And it's a good joke because the same company made evangelion. 39:27.750 --> 39:28.500 Okay. 39:32.310 --> 39:37.410 I thought that's what they're referencing, but I wasn't 100% sure. But that's good. 39:37.480 --> 39:38.100 Yeah. 39:39.590 --> 39:48.310 I think even gellion is on our list because I haven't watched it, and apparently I am a terrible weebly. 39:49.930 --> 40:00.778 Paul got the bluray, and he brought it here to watch fooly. cooley. And there was a trailer for evangelion, and we were watching the trailer, and we were like, how come neither of us have watched this? 40:00.944 --> 40:12.394 This looks sick. Yeah, I know it seems like a big mix show, but there's a lot of philosophical what is life questions in it. So I'm guessing that's what the joke in this episode was. 40:12.452 --> 40:19.506 Yeah, it just seems wild, but yeah, I think Harica tries to break in. 40:19.688 --> 40:22.900 To Medical mechanica, that place. 40:24.890 --> 40:32.950 Wait, she drives her moped through the glass windows because there's no doors, right? 40:33.020 --> 40:44.790 Yeah, just the lobby area. Real quick, though, noota's hat it's like a headband with ear flaps. It's not really a hat. It's dumb. 40:46.730 --> 40:48.390 I think he looks cute. 40:49.810 --> 41:01.086 Ah, just annoying me. It looked like, you know, a hat you'd have in like, winter with the ear flaps that you could like, tie up, but it looked like someone just ripped the top off of it. So it's just like a headband. I don't know, that just kind of, like, bothered me. 41:01.108 --> 41:08.366 The whole web puffy vest for your head. You're only slightly cold. Just put it on your ears. 41:08.478 --> 41:11.934 My ears are cold in my forehead, but not the top. Not my scalp. 41:12.062 --> 41:14.900 Not the part where most heat leaves your body. 41:15.670 --> 41:21.430 But yeah, so they break into medical machine. I forget the name already. 41:21.500 --> 41:22.786 Medical mechanica. 41:22.898 --> 41:23.880 There it is. 41:25.210 --> 41:30.950 And there's a gross man that looks like a parka skirt, which is fun. 41:31.100 --> 41:36.586 It's a very sinful, disgusting man. Get that big old hairy mole on. 41:36.608 --> 41:49.360 His face, as most men are. But this is where another quote that I thought was very funny comes in. When nata gets there and they're like, why are you here? And he's like, I have custody. I don't know. 41:51.250 --> 41:59.060 Yeah, this twelve year old boy has custody of this 20 year old, which he's not wrong. Like, he pretty much does have to take care of her. 42:00.390 --> 42:02.798 Doesn't she call him her guardian? 42:02.894 --> 42:03.540 Yeah. 42:04.070 --> 42:08.360 So there's a lot of weird power dynamics going on. 42:08.810 --> 42:25.820 The power move, she flies in and breaks her moped. So he comes with tools to fix it, but the tool he gives her is a gundam figure. And when she puts it on the vespa, it just morphs into like a nut and screws into place. 42:26.590 --> 42:27.340 Sure. 42:29.870 --> 42:31.980 I was so thrown off by that. 42:33.070 --> 42:50.286 Well, even the gross security guy was like, looking at it. And I guess he has some knowledge of mopez or something because he's saying, like, oh, I've never seen parts like this, or like, what kind of vehicle is this? And he seemed very interested in it. And then that's when he's also looking up her skirt like a dirty old perv. 42:50.398 --> 42:51.090 Yuck. 42:53.190 --> 42:57.730 By notice of one skirt guard was voiced by Steve bloom, very early Steve bloom. 42:57.890 --> 42:58.600 Wow. 42:59.050 --> 43:07.606 And then yeah, after that they leave and do things which forget when's the. 43:07.628 --> 43:15.482 Weird part where they're waiting for conti to come back from the store and it's like all weird looking. Does that happen after this? 43:15.616 --> 43:24.350 That's later on. Next is nata meets mami under the bridge and where she found the cat. Is that right? 43:24.420 --> 43:25.040 Yeah. 43:26.370 --> 43:46.280 And before that, it's no to walking across another bridge with his friends from school. And they see mami from a distance, and she's ringing out the water from her skirt like she fell into the river unexpectedly. And that's when we found out more from the other kids that she gets bullied a lot from other kids in her high school. 43:47.690 --> 43:54.502 They make note that she doesn't act her age and is very childish and. 43:54.556 --> 44:08.634 Kind of a hint of another reason why she's hanging around. No. It's so much yeah. And then after that no. It goes up to her and meets her, and she's playing the fire starter game. That's when Tacoon meets other Tacoon, the cat. 44:08.752 --> 44:09.462 Yay. 44:09.606 --> 44:11.600 Because that won't get confusing at all. 44:12.050 --> 44:12.800 No. 44:14.050 --> 44:19.680 Who grew up with their best friend, also named Brendan. It's never confusing. It's never a problem. 44:20.530 --> 44:24.302 So she has a cat now, and. 44:24.436 --> 44:36.562 The cats are spas. Like the cat's just freaking the fuck out in every scene it's in, like, just darting around and jumping around. It doesn't seem like it interacts. It's almost like they don't see it, but it's just like flying all over the place. 44:36.616 --> 44:38.130 Have you met a kitten? 44:39.690 --> 44:40.966 Yeah, I guess you're not wrong. 44:41.068 --> 44:41.720 Yeah. 44:42.090 --> 44:44.370 Just like no one reacts to it, though, which is funny. 44:44.450 --> 44:48.098 Is this when she tells him about when she saw Conti? 44:48.194 --> 44:48.840 Yes. 44:49.550 --> 45:07.680 Yeah. So she kind of goes off about how she saw Conti, and that kind of starts to give us more of a hint that she's been doing the arson. Because at this point, we know the rules for the video game. And she's like, I saw him. I swear I did. 45:08.210 --> 45:21.266 Yeah. Because now I'm not sure if they I might have missed it, but now TV boys got a little halo and wings tied to him. I'm not sure who tied him onto him, but that definitely gave the illusion of, like, he's a god for her. 45:21.368 --> 45:23.380 So mommy's going a little crazy. 45:24.150 --> 45:46.218 Yeah. And then that's when she follows him. And the TV boy goes back to the burnt down school that supposedly she might have burnt down and that noah's brother saved her from. That's where the robot flies for the first time. So I don't know why a medical machine would need to fly, but I. 45:46.224 --> 45:51.020 Guess he can go to do that rapid emergency response stuff. 45:51.630 --> 45:52.380 Yeah. 45:53.390 --> 46:01.022 It's so obvious now. The next thing I've written down is Anna Nicole centerfold, so I don't really know what else happens. 46:01.156 --> 46:03.102 Yeah, that's when that's the weird scene. 46:03.166 --> 46:04.626 Okay. That's when he comes back. 46:04.728 --> 46:09.380 Yeah. If this was rough around the edges of Ford, like, this one's, like dirty looking. 46:11.510 --> 46:14.370 Gross, nasty, squiggly lines. 46:15.430 --> 46:27.822 Get those wiggles. Yeah. So they just sent the robot off to the store. So if noah was concerned before about his neighbor seeing it's kind of out the window now. The robot is just part of the town. 46:27.986 --> 46:31.930 Yay, your friendly neighborhood robot. 46:32.270 --> 46:32.874 Oh, hi. 46:32.912 --> 46:37.980 TV Boy Hello, TV I do for your dirty mags again. 46:39.310 --> 46:48.602 Well, haruka even said she saw him looking at hustlers at the 711. So she clearly passed by at some point of the day and saw him out about town. 46:48.666 --> 46:49.646 Just hangs out. 46:49.748 --> 47:04.674 I do. Like when he's loading up the car when noah to his dad just rambling on. You see every few seconds a neighbor coming by and staring and, like, a little kid running around, like, super pumped. Yeah. Robot man. It's like, yeah, well, little kid wouldn't be. 47:04.792 --> 47:05.506 Yeah. 47:05.688 --> 47:10.386 So I did like seeing that and everyone actually reacting to it. Not like this is totally normal. 47:10.498 --> 47:12.870 Yeah. Just immediately accepting it. 47:12.940 --> 47:13.560 Yeah. 47:14.090 --> 47:36.990 Is that when they go back to the burned out school where mami is? The narrative of these episodes is so hard to follow. I watched this twice and I could not tell you the plot progression between scenes. It's just mumble core at its fine mumblecore anime. 47:37.970 --> 47:46.818 And it's also just like so much is happening. Every scene, you're still processing stuff from the last scene and they're like, oh, we're already, like, four scenes after that. 47:46.904 --> 47:56.660 In my notes, I have stuff written down, but I don't remember when or why. Like, I just wrote down zoink scub and I don't remember why. 47:57.050 --> 47:58.726 That helps no one. 47:58.908 --> 48:14.940 I also don't remember when this happens, but haruka calls the stuff at Medical mechanica enemy Robots. So I said, Is she trying to fight big business? And Paul kind of, like, gave me a sideways glance and I was like, oh, what is this show about? 48:15.790 --> 48:24.090 She's fighting capitalism? Yeah. There's a few scenes where Heroka is talking to someone and it's not very. 48:24.160 --> 48:24.780 Bad. 48:26.770 --> 49:25.890 But she's clearly responding like someone's asking questions back. And in one of those conversations, she says, like, oh, I converted an enemy of robot, which we're guessing is Robot Boy. And that's why he was red when we first see him. After she hits him with the bass guitar, he turns blue. Or like a teal. Yeah, it's kind of plying, like, oh, are there more of these? Is this one, like, gone rogue now? And it's kind of like the single good doing robot. I know words. I got words. I actually brought up the episode now, and I'm watching it because so much happens. I was after one of these scenes with haruka talking to someone. The cat just goes fucking starts attacking her. But not mommy's cat, the fat cat at no oates's house that at this point hasn't done anything yet, and just starts crawling at her for some reason. I don't know if that was actually like a plot relevant scene or if that was just like a goofy slapstick. 49:26.230 --> 49:34.420 Because in the weird cuts where she's talking to the mysterious someone, it kind of looks like she was talking to the cat. 49:34.870 --> 49:44.854 Yeah, the cat was sitting on the desk and she was facing it while she was talking. So it's not sure if she's talking to the ether, like space, or to. 49:44.892 --> 49:50.200 The cat itself, or to there's a transmission station inside the cat. 49:50.650 --> 49:54.298 You know what? There's a robot in this boy's head. And don't doubt it at this point. 49:54.464 --> 49:55.034 Yeah. 49:55.152 --> 50:02.534 And it was about this time when, yeah, mami's out by the old burnt down school doing her weird witchcraft circle. 50:02.662 --> 50:16.814 I don't think she burnt down the school originally. I think it just burnt down when they were kids. And she's there because she wants to get rid of it. She wants to get rid of this memory. So she's trying to burn down the ruins of it. 50:17.012 --> 50:41.434 Well, she says even later, after that scene, that she hated that school. She didn't like that place. I think she did burn it down, but I don't know if she necessarily burnt it down intentionally. She might have wanted to get rid of it, but she didn't mean to burn it down and anyone to get potentially hurt in it. But even after it burnt down, she said it's not actually really gone. There's still ashes and debris and stuff. It's still there. It's not cleansed from the earth that she wanted. 50:41.552 --> 50:45.660 Yeah. This is a moment that kind of makes you feel something. 50:48.350 --> 51:29.078 This is the scene where I started thinking, like, oh, I think whatever trauma mamimi has gone through either started or tied to that school somehow. And that's why she wanted to get rid of it. And that's why she's kind of a bit broken inside. And that's when his brother both physically saved her from the fire and might have spiritually saved I don't know. It makes him sound like a priest saved her, like, emotionally. Like, she tied into saving him from her, from the building building emotionally with him. And then that's maybe when they started going out or seeing each other more often. And that's why she's so tied to his older brother. 51:29.254 --> 51:42.778 So, surprise, another robot shows up while they're gathered at this burned down school, and they start fighting again. TV Boy and this new, bigger robot. 51:42.874 --> 51:48.830 Call him Internet Streaming Service Boy because he's made up TV. He's killing the old industry. 51:49.730 --> 52:04.820 Wow. And I do have something written down, and I do know what this is in response to. I wrote oh, fuck by nata because TV boy eats him. 52:05.370 --> 52:08.520 Yeah, this is a weird Mac show now. 52:08.890 --> 52:25.466 So he eats him in a weird silhouette. We see that TV Boy has a bunch of eyes and a lot of big, sharp teeth and then chomps down on him. And he sort of combines with TV Boy. 52:25.568 --> 52:27.754 Their souls become one. 52:27.952 --> 52:34.954 Yes. They drift or whatever. The Pacific Drift Compatible. 52:35.082 --> 52:39.790 It was a dumb movie. I enjoyed it. A lot of that's dummy. 52:41.250 --> 52:50.638 Yeah. So the robot turns red again and then turns into a big old gun that shoots the other robot. 52:50.814 --> 52:57.730 I noticed that the hand of this new robot looks very similar to the hand that they fought in the last episode. 52:59.510 --> 53:07.846 It seems to be the same type of mech or robot or whatever this weird forehead monstrosity is. 53:08.028 --> 53:28.782 Yeah, it seems like it's coming from the same place. So it's definitely like it seems like that's the enemy that Heroco was talking about before. Oh, but when noah's in TV Boy, he's getting, like a big, like, crazy technicolored red and green screw or pipe or something being shoved into the back of his head. 53:28.836 --> 53:29.582 Oh, yeah. 53:29.716 --> 53:35.906 That's when they fuse control and get, like, full Super Saiyany. Yeah. 53:35.928 --> 53:43.540 It turns into a light bulb that goes off as the robot transforms. Yeah, there's a lot going on. 53:44.390 --> 54:04.278 And that's also when her bracelet chain thing starts flailing about again. So clearly, whenever there's crazy big brain activity going on, it's something tied to her that increases the mystery. 54:04.454 --> 54:15.934 She runs to the scene where the robots are fighting. They blast that new robot with the now canonized TV Boy. 54:16.132 --> 54:17.822 He's bashing him now. 54:17.956 --> 54:24.650 Yeah. This is very Iron Giant of you're. Not a gun. You don't have to be a gun. 54:24.730 --> 54:39.400 You know, weapon. You stay, I go. One thing that they call me a card is the bullet they shot goes back into Tea people. He comes back, I was like, oh, I don't know. I don't like that. 54:40.410 --> 54:42.550 Hey, it's preserving energy. 54:42.700 --> 54:46.786 I mean, like, I get it. Just seeing the bully go back into a gun in reverse. 54:46.978 --> 54:49.420 We are all about recycling here. 54:49.870 --> 54:51.580 That's what the show is about. 54:53.950 --> 54:55.382 Captain Planet. 54:55.526 --> 54:56.778 There we go. 54:56.944 --> 55:08.446 Voiced by Tom Cruise. Oh, speaking of being uncomfortable after the big fight and they're done with the superpower move, TV boy just straight up shits out. 55:08.628 --> 55:10.880 I was not a fan of that. 55:11.650 --> 55:24.782 Yeah, that was not great. Little toilet paper on his face, and then the note comes out, all brown and slimy in a coil. 55:24.846 --> 55:26.706 Like straight up a turd. 55:26.818 --> 55:27.480 Yeah. 55:29.210 --> 55:31.074 That was weird. And he's got a new lump. 55:31.202 --> 55:32.262 Another one? 55:32.396 --> 55:36.150 Yeah. He should see a real doctor. 55:38.330 --> 55:42.070 Yeah, the one who's giving him the lumps. 55:42.430 --> 55:43.962 The one who caused all of this. 55:44.016 --> 55:46.060 What are you talking about? It's fine. 55:47.150 --> 55:48.586 Everything'S great. 55:48.768 --> 55:54.974 It's like a coca cola. Is your dentist keep happening? I don't know. Keep drinking the soda. I don't know. 55:55.012 --> 55:59.230 I've just been washing your teeth with premium coca cola. 56:00.130 --> 56:04.580 I've seen it. Clean a toilet. I can do that with you, pearly. What? 56:05.590 --> 56:10.020 Drink this mountain dew It can dissolve a rat's body. It can dissolve anything ailing you inside. 56:10.790 --> 56:16.180 So, yeah, that's sort of where we end off. As confused as when we started. 56:16.710 --> 56:17.742 Not a lot of answers. 56:17.806 --> 56:27.080 Both episodes kind of have the same cadence, like, when you think about it, because it's just like to go back to what we said before. It's just mumble corps, mumble core. Mumble core, robot fight. 56:28.350 --> 56:34.634 The whole episode, pretty much. Oh, but the endings, like the ending credits. 56:34.752 --> 56:38.618 Oh, yeah, I love the ending credits. They were great. 56:38.704 --> 56:39.900 I knew you would. 56:41.090 --> 56:48.634 It was just such peppy, like, indie rock intercut with, like, stop motion moped footage. 56:48.762 --> 57:08.120 And then there's heroku, though, messing around on the moped, too. Driving it and then fooling around on it and then falling off, chasing after and just all the dumb stuff she has to deal with, with the moped. So it's clearly not like she's not a master of it. It's like a brokerageing relationship. 57:08.810 --> 57:21.274 I don't know if you guys watched the coming up next time on fooly cooly Things, but it's pretty much just haruka. Just, like, rambling about nothing relevant, which is fun. 57:21.472 --> 57:23.050 I expect nothing less from her. 57:23.120 --> 57:33.760 I watched it for the first one, and then I was like, okay, I got nothing helpful out of that. I didn't really process it as much as I should have. 57:34.450 --> 57:38.270 Yeah, but I mean, that's what we watched. 57:39.570 --> 57:43.860 That's a third of the series and we have no idea what's happening. 57:44.470 --> 57:52.340 Yeah. That was an adventure. I enjoyed several parts of it. 57:55.190 --> 58:13.210 I wrote this in my notes that I think knowing what it's about and knowing the message that they're trying to tell or the story they're trying to tell, whatever, it really helps, I think, now, like, watching it now, knowing what it's about, I enjoyed it a lot more. 58:13.360 --> 58:13.722 Yeah. 58:13.776 --> 58:35.250 I hope to get to that point. I did definitely on my second watch through Go. Oh, okay. I can see a lot more lines being drawn between things and things starting to make more sense, but I'm still sure I'm grasping about 30% of what I should have. 58:35.400 --> 58:36.100 Yeah. 58:37.750 --> 58:44.900 Paul, was there anything that you think we might have missed or, like, any little Easter egg that went by too quickly that we didn't talk about? 58:46.390 --> 58:51.862 I don't think we mentioned that harika is an alien. Yeah, I think we forgot to mention. 58:51.916 --> 59:08.010 That because you're never really sure. She mentions it twice, but it's sort of introduced as a joke because nata is immediately like, yeah, right. And moves on. So it's never, like, solidly established that, yes, she is an alien. 59:08.590 --> 59:16.078 Treat the audience with giving the critical plot relevant information to the comedic joker character. So you don't believe them. 59:16.244 --> 59:18.640 Yeah, but she is one. 59:19.330 --> 59:22.842 Yeah, it's true. So dugan. 59:22.906 --> 59:23.520 Yeah. 59:24.150 --> 59:26.914 How'D you like it? Would you continue watching it? 59:27.032 --> 59:44.146 I think knowing that it's only six episodes well, at least for, like, this first original run, I think I will finish it as I need to know what is going on because I am so confused. 59:44.258 --> 59:53.500 And even when you watch it, you're going to come back to us and be like, what is it about? And then we'll tell you and then you'll love it. 59:54.990 --> 01:00:01.542 Yeah, I'm going to finish it. And then I'm going to go to you for the Cliff Notes of everything I missed. 01:00:01.686 --> 01:00:11.214 It's like the masons will lower your body temperature so you're just on the cusp of dying, whisper the secret and then bring it back to life. It makes all the sense. 01:00:11.412 --> 01:00:22.020 See, this is like, the only enjoyable part of non narrative avantgarde type stuff, is the puzzle piecing of trying to put stuff back together after. 01:00:22.790 --> 01:00:36.354 I think it's good with it being so short. If this is, like, a 23 episode series and it was all like this, I think people would get burnt out real quick because it's only six. It's like, oh, yeah, it's a nice bite size, enjoyable meal. 01:00:36.482 --> 01:00:57.150 Yeah, I think any more and then they would also try to bite off more than they could chew and add 50 more nonsensicals. They would need to tie in. So I think six episodes, especially if they're going this, like, nonlinear and yeah, mumble corey. It needs to be short. 01:00:57.300 --> 01:00:59.950 Yeah. But yeah, we did another one. 01:01:00.100 --> 01:01:05.674 We won. dugan likes the weird ones. He doesn't like the straightforward Death Note narrative. 01:01:05.722 --> 01:01:08.142 A Death Note? Is it not straightforward? 01:01:08.286 --> 01:01:11.906 Yeah, I'll fight you on that one. 01:01:12.088 --> 01:01:19.382 Compared to this and Soul eater, it seems at least more grounded in reality. A little better. At least what we saw. 01:01:19.516 --> 01:01:31.930 Yeah, I am liking the little bit more grounded stuff and not the I'm the prince of a dark kingdom and I need to devour all these monsters. 01:01:32.830 --> 01:01:34.730 Well, I guess we're not watching kirby. 01:01:36.430 --> 01:01:38.422 But that's my favorite. 01:01:38.566 --> 01:01:42.400 Kirby, right back at you. That's only on fox kids. 01:01:46.610 --> 01:01:47.690 Good job, Paul. 01:01:47.770 --> 01:01:48.558 Thank you. 01:01:48.724 --> 01:01:51.520 Yeah, that was an interesting pick. 01:01:53.250 --> 01:01:59.570 Definitely a good one, though. I think I'll probably end up rewatching it all too, just because yeah, like you said, it's only four more episodes ago. 01:01:59.720 --> 01:02:02.820 Yeah, I definitely want to watch the rest. 01:02:04.070 --> 01:02:15.142 Just understand better. And the other one is it's a sequel series, so I'm not sure exactly what's tied into it, but it's like new characters, new location, all that. And it was done last year. 01:02:15.276 --> 01:02:17.094 Yeah, I think harika is still in it. 01:02:17.132 --> 01:02:19.014 Yeah, hercule might be still in it. 01:02:19.052 --> 01:02:34.910 There's actually going to be it's technically two more seasons. There's fully coolly, progressive and then I think it's alternative. Yeah. And I think they're both six episodes, so it brings it out to 18 total. 01:02:34.980 --> 01:02:36.590 Yeah, all doable. 01:02:37.170 --> 01:02:37.582 Yeah. 01:02:37.636 --> 01:02:41.600 And since they're telling different stories, it keeps it interesting. 01:02:42.950 --> 01:02:48.850 It's also been so long. It's not like they pumped all these episodes out in one session for one season. 01:02:50.870 --> 01:02:53.778 But yeah, good show. 01:02:53.864 --> 01:02:54.500 Yeah. 01:02:57.030 --> 01:03:00.758 I believe you have what we are watching next week. 01:03:00.924 --> 01:03:16.950 Yes. I prepped a little ahead of it because I got real excited and figured we did a few weird ones. Let's do a pretty standard one that's super crazy popular right now for good reason. And the next show we're going to watch is my hero academia boca new hero. 01:03:17.110 --> 01:03:20.582 Paul also really likes Boko. No, hero academia. 01:03:20.726 --> 01:03:22.830 It's like a good old fashioned narito. 01:03:24.370 --> 01:03:34.110 I love people calling it just the main character majoria. Everyone just calls Green naruto because pretty much he's a similar character, but better and less annoying. 01:03:34.270 --> 01:03:36.180 Don't spoil it ahead. 01:03:37.910 --> 01:03:41.714 It's part of the shonen Jump, which are naruto bleach one piece, like those. 01:03:41.752 --> 01:03:46.082 Big dragons, big action, even I would have heard of. 01:03:46.216 --> 01:03:55.814 Yeah. Huge cast, like 30 characters are like the supporting cast, like every episode. And it's just crazy stupid popular right now. 01:03:55.852 --> 01:03:56.310 Oh, yeah. 01:03:56.380 --> 01:04:12.026 So we're like, hey, let's get into this. For good reason.
