WEBVTT 00:00.330 --> 00:02.106 Nowhere does it say that we can't. 00:02.138 --> 00:24.918 Bring it goat to class. Hello. 00:24.964 --> 00:33.234 Hello and welcome to our we variant in exploration and education and anime. I'm your anime idiot, patrick dugan. 00:33.362 --> 00:36.114 I'm an anime expert, dana hollander. 00:36.242 --> 00:43.210 And I'm brenda mccullough. Your anime. Jenny XJ nine. I don't know a lot about this show, but I think there's a robot. 00:43.790 --> 00:44.586 Okay. 00:44.768 --> 00:47.626 That's pretty much all I got. That's pretty much all I had going. 00:47.648 --> 00:54.302 In with this story of my life as a teenage robot. Can we get away with doing that show? 00:54.436 --> 00:56.874 Get that on Netflix, make that a movie. 00:56.922 --> 00:58.080 Anime enough. 00:58.450 --> 00:59.710 I love that show. 00:59.780 --> 01:05.620 I was like, good at show. And then you find out she had a bunch of, like, sisters in the basement. It's like, oh, no. 01:07.430 --> 01:12.420 Spooky, dark, slightly sad to think about. 01:13.270 --> 01:16.660 I mean, better that show than like rugrats or something. 01:17.830 --> 01:21.638 Tommy had a bunch of sisters in the basement too. We just don't talk about it. 01:21.804 --> 01:22.840 Oh, no. 01:23.290 --> 01:25.298 All the other pickle puns. 01:25.394 --> 01:38.490 Oh, God. Anyway, I bring up the robot because this show is you know what, I'm going to let someone else say it because I'm going to butcher the pronunciation. 01:38.830 --> 01:44.526 Yeah, and so am I, but I'll do it confidently. We're watching nietzsche show. 01:44.708 --> 01:45.760 There we go. 01:46.610 --> 02:17.506 This was a recommendation from delaney peterson. We are getting at this point, I don't know when school starts. From what I'm told, it begins shortly after the 4 July. So I don't know. Yeah, we're in school season time if you aren't just starting benin and you know what's up. So we are watching a good old school show. 02:17.628 --> 02:28.300 Good old school romp. Yeah, I know it's the school season because my morning commute takes twice as long now. I love it. Yeah, love it. It's so fun. 02:32.290 --> 02:39.760 Brendan, you said you don't know anything about it, but dana, do you do you have any information on this program? 02:40.130 --> 02:40.880 Program? 02:41.250 --> 02:41.950 No. 02:42.100 --> 03:13.658 Or stories? I don't know anything about it. Like story wise. I've just seen a ton of clips of it and like reactions and memes. We did azumanga dio and this is the show I got it mixed up with a lot and I was like, oh, I see a ton of memes and like remixes of this show. I've seen the opening for this anime, redone, but with weed and soup dog spaced on every character. So I'm just like, love it. It's a meme show. It's a meme worthy show. 03:13.744 --> 03:14.282 Yes. 03:14.416 --> 03:15.434 So that's about as much. 03:15.472 --> 03:18.890 Yeah, I've seen clips, but I've never seen the show. 03:19.040 --> 03:39.730 Yeah, I couldn't tell you what the story is or the characters. Yeah, this was a listener recommendation, but it's definitely been on my list for a while because I've seen so much of it and I've heard good things about it. So I'm glad we have an excuse to watch it for a show that we know good things about. Not like some of the last shows. A few shows we watched. 03:41.350 --> 03:45.894 I don't know. Wasn't the last show we watched Fire Force? I think that's the last one. I remember. 03:46.012 --> 03:48.722 No. Last show we watched was polar Bear Cafe. 03:48.866 --> 03:50.662 Yeah, got that tea. 03:50.716 --> 03:52.246 Not the other one. 03:52.348 --> 03:53.560 Not that one. 03:55.610 --> 04:14.910 So, yeah, this show came out 2011. manga was 2007 through 2008. So it's been around for a little bit. It's established, which is probably why it's so meany. So, yeah, we're going to watch the first three episodes. 04:17.490 --> 04:23.790 Back to school. Back to school to prove to dead. 04:46.970 --> 04:49.850 This show is very cute. 04:51.630 --> 05:13.534 Immediately, I like, what's the opposite of intensity? The opposite of that? It's not like pastel colors, per se, but it's just like, very soft tones color wise. And it's like, oh, this is nice in the eyes. This isn't straining. Yeah, I realized that I brought probably about halfway through the second episode. I was just like, oh, I don't mind. This is very pleasant. 05:13.662 --> 05:15.922 Yeah, this is like anime comfort food. 05:16.056 --> 05:20.740 Yeah. But it's also silly shit. And I'm on board for that. 05:21.270 --> 05:41.062 Yeah. So hey, listener. We're trying this show is very discombobulated. So we have a bunch of just very tiny interstitial sketches that are more fun to watch than to have described. 05:41.126 --> 05:44.780 To you every show. 05:45.390 --> 05:56.506 If what we're saying sounds good, we recommend you watch it because we're going to gloss over a bunch of this stuff that will just be and then this funny joke happened anyways. 05:56.618 --> 06:00.110 But it's a fun visual joke, so it is good. 06:00.260 --> 06:05.186 It's fun to watch. We're not going to describe someone else's bit to you. 06:05.288 --> 06:06.782 We're not going to do it justice. 06:06.926 --> 06:07.620 Yeah. 06:10.310 --> 06:11.570 With that preface. 06:12.390 --> 06:43.698 Yeah, with that preface. Let's get into the nonsense. So, yeah, we're starting a new school year, a new semester. Check on bingo card. We have two of our mains junkrat and reinhardt. Yeah, my mains sorry. One of the main characters I wrote back and forth, yuko and yuki. 06:43.894 --> 06:44.810 It's Yuko. 06:44.890 --> 06:45.178 Yuko. 06:45.194 --> 06:46.270 Yuko. Okay. 06:46.340 --> 06:47.374 With the no. 06:47.572 --> 07:13.682 Cool. I will try to remember that when reading my notes because I'm in. So we have Yuko and mio, who are two most main characters. We have some more people coming in and out, but these two are the main focus most of the time. They're starting a new semester. yuki is just laying out on the desk day one, saying, I am already so unmotivated. 07:13.826 --> 07:15.670 Oh, God. Why bother? 07:17.310 --> 07:27.850 And mio, our blue hair girl, just hits her with the old classic shila buff. Just do it, just do it. 07:27.920 --> 07:29.450 The shila buff classic. 07:29.810 --> 07:39.040 And that's our first segment. See what I'm talking about? That's sort of hard hitting journalism we're doing here. 07:39.490 --> 07:55.218 It cuts to them like just meditating with tea. And then I think it's you go think, oh, it must be nice to be a complete idiot. And then, yeah, that's kind of what I'm just like, what? That's how it interests the show. Oh, boy. All right, here we go. 07:55.384 --> 07:57.170 There's a show about idiots. 07:57.590 --> 07:59.990 We're in. This is a podcast about idiots. 08:00.810 --> 08:02.806 Hey, that's the final show. 08:02.828 --> 08:03.698 I can't complain. 08:03.794 --> 08:07.542 Oh, yeah. I was going to say, I'm not an idiot. I'm an expert. Thank you. 08:07.676 --> 08:11.020 I mean, one of them is our tagline, and then the other is me. 08:14.190 --> 08:15.530 I'm outnumbered. 08:18.590 --> 08:57.270 So we see our robot girl. She has a big old cute little gear in the back, like a wind up toy. And that's the only real indication she's a robot. But she's cooking a little fish on a little grill outside, making up breakfast. We get the full introduction later, but I'll do this. Here we have Nanoshina nome is the robot girl I was writing Cheeby robo. 08:58.170 --> 08:59.790 I kept calling her robot. 08:59.890 --> 09:00.346 Yeah. 09:00.448 --> 09:02.646 Am I the same robot? 09:02.838 --> 09:07.290 I think this is the first time I've used her real name the whole time. And everyone else gave her a nickname. 09:07.870 --> 09:16.858 Wow, weird. You've really done it this time, Brendan. I don't know how I could ever compete with your knowledge of names in anime. 09:16.954 --> 09:19.646 Oh, shit. Not prepared for that. 09:19.748 --> 09:21.630 Can you say her name for us, please? 09:21.700 --> 09:22.734 Yeah, what's her name? 09:22.852 --> 09:27.778 Nano. I mean, it is. Damn it. 09:27.784 --> 09:29.140 That's easy to say. 09:30.390 --> 09:40.150 Well, here's the thing. In episode three, they never said it. So, like, while I was taking notes, I was like, Robot. 09:40.890 --> 09:46.070 Roboto. Anyway, the little girl's name I took fucking lost. No idea. 09:46.140 --> 09:46.706 Professor. 09:46.738 --> 09:48.410 Professor. That's the professor. 09:48.830 --> 09:50.518 Yeah, I believe it's. 09:50.614 --> 09:51.046 Hako. 09:51.078 --> 09:52.358 Say, but professor. 09:52.454 --> 09:53.350 Professor? 09:53.510 --> 10:31.190 She's a little mad scientist, and she's adorable. So robogirl is cooking for the professor, making up a little fish breakfast, and a cat steals it off the grill and runs away. So robo girl is following, trying to catch up with it, accidentally runs into someone and explodes and like, a big mushroom cloud overtake the whole city. And that's another interstitial thing. And then we get the opening credits, which are adorable. 10:33.050 --> 10:43.850 I was prepared for some wacky, like, oh, no. And like, a big cloud. I wasn't expecting a tactical nuke to demolish the city. Oh, shit. 10:44.830 --> 12:01.460 I kept going, but yeah, the opening is very adorable. The song is very cute, and I love it. It turns into like a 50s little baby, almost. Yeah, it's fun. It's cute. I like it. So, yeah. As this explosion is going on, we see mio and Yuko meeting up to go to school, talking about how mio forgot her ID. They hear the explosion, and Yuko is hitting the head with a wooden doll and is like, oh, what are the odds? This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. I'll never have this again. I'm so lucky. Oh, no. I'm a luck god now. And she takes a couple more steps forward, and a wooden red cow toy hits her in the head as well. And she's immediately switched to feeling cursed. It's fine as long as she isn't hit in the head with anything gross, like raw meat. Could be one I bet you can't guess what hits her in the head next. 12:02.150 --> 12:04.270 What is it? Do you get a truck? 12:04.430 --> 12:05.990 A big old fish? 12:08.010 --> 12:10.466 I didn't want that. Raw meat. That's not raw meat. 12:10.498 --> 12:37.774 I want no one wants a piece of salmon falls on her head and she's all just out yucky. But yeah, they get to their school, and we're introduced to their friend May, who is sort of the bookworm stoic nerdy. Intense one. 12:37.892 --> 12:38.750 Nerd. 12:39.330 --> 12:55.300 Also, we see all the kids coming to school, and there's just like a kid with a big old afro and like a kid with a mohawk. And you're like, oh, that's interesting. And a kid riding a goat. And you're like, something's different here. 12:55.690 --> 12:57.190 He's my favorite. 12:58.090 --> 13:17.542 He is the best. We'll get to him shortly. But yeah, we're introduced to so many weird background characters. It's very beautiful. Like you said, punk, mohawk, afro. There's goat man's assistant just like, has an 1800s powdered wig. 13:17.686 --> 13:18.380 Yes. 13:19.230 --> 13:25.054 And there's a bunch of fun things to look at here. 13:25.172 --> 13:26.430 It's wacky. 13:27.250 --> 13:29.470 It's a wacky fun romp. 13:29.890 --> 13:31.082 Oh, shucks. 13:31.146 --> 13:56.034 No boy. The teacher comes out and addresses the class, and it's like, hey, all your fun students. Someone slipped a buddhist statue into my locker. Who did it? What's up? This is weird. 13:56.162 --> 13:58.120 You know that old prank forward. 13:58.570 --> 14:00.200 Why did you do this? 14:00.590 --> 14:04.460 Whoever did it, just tell me. We'll talk about it. 14:04.830 --> 14:06.170 You got booted. 14:07.070 --> 15:54.300 So the gang of Yuko, mio, and May are chatting about it in the back of the class. They're talking about, oh, it's probably a student who has a crush. And oh, mio has a crush on this upper classman sasahara, and she gets all flustered and embarrassed and don't talk about my crush. Yeah. And then we cut back to robot Girl, who after the explosion, is thrown onto a roof. She wakes up trapped, unable to get down. And she's just walking from corner to corner trying to find a way down. She's missing a sandal and one of her robotic hands. So she's like, oh, fuck. If someone sees me, they're going to know I'm a robot. Oh, no. Beans. Cheese. Yeah. So we have a bunch of short interstitials here. We get my I just keep remembering things. Yeah, there's a fun sequence where they're having lunch, and Yuko saved the last bite of sausage, so the last bite of the meal is the best. And of course, she drops it out of her chopsticks. And we get a very intense, highly dramatic film sequence of them trying to catch this piece of hot dog as it's thrown around the classroom, flying through people's mohawks and stuff. 15:54.750 --> 16:01.802 I like to have a party where we just have all this cute food because I want to eat little hot dog. Octopus. 16:01.866 --> 16:03.754 Yeah, little octopus hot dogs. 16:03.882 --> 16:12.194 I would love that because we see so much good food. There's so much good food shown in anime, and I just want it all. 16:12.312 --> 16:29.022 Japan loves the food looks so delicious. The sequence is probably also the most detailed notes I ever took on any show or any she grabs it, she drops it, she hits it over there. It's going through it, and just like a play by play of, like a sports event or something, just like, God. I was like, oh, Jesus. 16:29.106 --> 16:33.258 I interrupted dugan before it ended, though. dugan, how does it end? 16:33.424 --> 16:50.890 It ends. It bounces on the ground and in slow motion, we get a one Mississippi, two Mississippi, three. And she catches it. And the five second rule still applies. And she totally eats it because it's all safe. 16:51.050 --> 16:51.662 Yeah. 16:51.796 --> 16:53.454 I mean, who would? 16:53.572 --> 16:54.190 Yeah. 16:54.340 --> 16:58.882 The germs count to five before they climb onto your hot dog. Octopus. That's fine. 16:58.936 --> 17:03.726 Yeah. And it's only covered in a little hair gel from going through that guy's mouth. 17:03.758 --> 17:04.610 Oh, my fuck. 17:06.150 --> 17:08.638 You just mentioned it and I already forgot. 17:08.814 --> 17:11.940 Just gel and hair stuck to your hot dog. 17:13.030 --> 17:20.198 I mean, to be fair, is also a hot dog. So probably the worst thing about it is what's in it, not outside of it fair. 17:20.284 --> 17:21.946 But we don't think about that. 17:22.048 --> 17:24.570 We don't think about that. I love hot dogs, okay? 17:24.640 --> 17:28.746 They're made out of sunshine and rainbows. As far as I'm concerned. 17:28.928 --> 17:32.846 I'm a red blooded American, and hot dogs are the only thing I eat. 17:32.948 --> 17:36.110 I'll eat one cold for breakfast every week. 17:36.260 --> 17:37.678 Please don't do that. 17:37.844 --> 17:41.390 That just goes to me to eat cold hot dogs. 17:42.870 --> 17:46.162 No, that upsets me. 17:46.216 --> 17:47.570 They're fully cooked. 17:50.470 --> 17:52.130 They're just like rubber. 17:55.610 --> 17:57.800 That's why I'm a sociopath now. 17:58.410 --> 18:00.760 That was the moment. That's what did it. 18:03.930 --> 18:29.280 So, yeah, we get some more weird interstitial stuff. Every, like, ad break. They have the professor and robo girl playing rock paper scissors with a nice fun gag. dana, I'll let you get into it because you loved it, but there's a weird jump route thing. Can you list why? 18:29.730 --> 19:13.594 Okay. Do you think I can answer? I don't know. So there are two men. One of them is shirtless and wearing sweats, but they just have oblong white oval heads. They got eggs, no faces, eggheads. And they're turning the jump rope, and Yuko walks up. In the first episode, it's Yuko. She walks up and she gets ready to go in. No, it's neo. It is Mia. She goes up and she goes to hop in, and she jumps in. The top of the jump rope hits her head because she jumped in at the wrong time, and then it's over. And that shit had me dying. I thought that was so funny. 19:13.722 --> 19:15.118 It's just so quick. 19:15.284 --> 19:19.962 This clip lasts, I would say, under 10 seconds. 19:20.106 --> 19:27.230 Yes. That's what makes it so funny to me is that it just happens and then it's over. And the one in episode two is my favorite. 19:27.390 --> 19:32.338 Yeah, we get one of these every episode and I don't understand it. 19:32.504 --> 19:41.240 No. But I don't hate same with the rock paper scissors with the robot and the professor. It's just like, why? But there's a fun gag every time and I love it. 19:43.210 --> 19:48.440 So yeah, that's sort of the fun stuff we're skipping over sometimes. 19:50.890 --> 19:52.822 We used to skip the jump rope parts. 19:52.886 --> 20:05.680 Yeah, those are important. But we get to there's a big assembly. The principal is addressing the new class. He has a bunch of lame dad jokes that no one laughs at. 20:07.650 --> 20:09.710 Of course, you know, it's surprised. 20:10.210 --> 20:46.810 Shocking. Yuko of course hates it and is trying to subtly talk without drawing attention, being like, hey, why does he always insist on doing these lame jokes? Is this secretly a lesson in persistence of if you like it, you'll just do it and one day it will pay off? Because no student has ever laughed. But we see My laughing behind her and she's like, oh, maybe he's making a difference. One student at a time. 20:46.880 --> 20:48.074 It paid off. 20:48.272 --> 21:00.800 But My standing behind Yuko, and Yuko has a tiny piece of squid tentacle from lunch stuck in her hair. And she's eleven at that fun. 21:02.450 --> 21:06.210 I thought it was from the explosion when the salmon fell in her hair. 21:06.710 --> 21:08.514 It could be that as well. 21:08.632 --> 21:10.002 Okay, I wasn't sure if I miss them. 21:10.056 --> 21:11.586 I don't know the source of the. 21:11.608 --> 21:14.590 Squid, but that's the mystery source. 21:14.670 --> 21:17.000 You just take the squid as it comes. 21:19.770 --> 21:39.434 So the teacher, sakurai, gets up and she's addressing the crowd, being like, hey, I don't really feel I should need to say this, but if you're bringing a fucking goat to school, can you. 21:39.472 --> 21:41.360 Not could you just stop? 21:45.170 --> 22:21.482 Why bring a goat to class? Don't do it, just know. And naturally, our Goat Boy is outraged and responds, shouting back this do you know my family, my proud heritage as a farmer? And he is sasahara. mio's upper classman crush is the Goat Boy. So he's complaining and the teacher is like, oh, forget I said anything. I'm too meek to stand up to Goat Boy. 22:21.616 --> 22:26.330 Well, he says it doesn't technically say in the rulebook not to bring a goat. 22:26.990 --> 22:30.490 A dog can't not play basketball. 22:31.230 --> 22:37.760 It's the fucking air bud rule. I should have known. It's the oldest trick in the legal book. 22:39.090 --> 23:14.810 So yeah, he's standing up for the goat and mio's fantasizing about their goat wedding, getting married on top of the goat is cute. And sakurai also asks about who gave her the buddhist statue because it's really starting to creep her out that she doesn't know. And then the principal, this very tiny, meek, balls man, is like, oh, it was from me. I heard it was your birthday recently. 23:15.390 --> 23:17.450 Who doesn't love buddha? 23:18.110 --> 23:21.840 I guess it's not a great gift. I guess. 23:23.810 --> 23:28.880 We skipped over when I'm just going to call him EDA. He has classes. He's the EDA now. 23:29.330 --> 23:30.062 Stop it. 23:30.116 --> 23:47.078 He's talking. He's talking about like he could bring a go to school. And he's like, Well, I guess it's not technically in the rulebook, and then he gets fucking capped. Then someone shoots him in the dome, like point blank between the eyes. And I felt like we needed to at least address that. 23:47.244 --> 23:57.526 Yes. As adorable and cute as the show is, there's a lot of violence with no repercussions buck wild shit seems like. 23:57.548 --> 24:01.818 Specifically with this one girl, this one redheaded girl I don't think we ever get the name of. 24:01.984 --> 24:16.410 I don't think so. Yet there's one student that as he's defending his goat wrangling stuff, just shoots him in the head and is like, fuck you. You don't need a goat. You're a farm boy idiot. 24:16.570 --> 24:24.698 Yeah. This is also when we find out that his family is like farmers. They're not like aristocrats or like royalty. He's just weird. He's just real. 24:24.724 --> 24:30.930 He acts very upper class, even though he is ultimate farmer boy, apparently. 24:33.110 --> 24:34.878 I love there's no reason for it. 24:34.984 --> 24:44.680 Yeah. But yeah. So we get a couple more interstitial things. They pull the fire alarm. Cool. 24:45.850 --> 24:46.694 Fun stuff. 24:46.812 --> 24:49.270 I love intrusive thoughts. 24:50.350 --> 24:54.874 That's basically it. They're just like, hey, let's have this quick little thing. 24:54.912 --> 24:55.638 Fire alarm. 24:55.734 --> 25:07.760 But I like how yuka was like, yeah, I pulled it once and nothing happened. Just like, oh, fuck you, and yanks it or presses a button. Just like, wow, that really didn't take any convincing, did it? 25:08.370 --> 25:19.346 You know what's strange? At my school, it was like a little lever, and I never had the urge to pull it. But if it was a button, I would look at it and be like, I want to press that. 25:19.528 --> 25:24.402 It's so much more of a commitment to pull a thing than just press a button. 25:24.536 --> 25:25.026 Yeah. 25:25.128 --> 25:25.780 Yes. 25:26.950 --> 25:37.842 We have, like, glass cases around ours, so it's kind of like you had to have the key to do it so you couldn't do it accidentally. But then if there was a fire and you didn't have the key, you fucked. Yeah. 25:37.996 --> 25:53.230 Fun stuff. Well, but yeah, there's a weird little outside of the show different animation style clip here. I forget the name they had for it. 25:53.300 --> 25:54.798 Helvetica standard. 25:54.964 --> 26:22.600 Helvetica standard. Yeah. So it was like a quick little artists experiment to play with a different style. And we get the grim reaper death flying around the city asking, hey, what's insensitive mean? What's insensitive mean scaring all of these people? And someone's like, hey, you're insensitive. And it's like, ha ha. Fun little wordplay thing. 26:23.770 --> 26:28.780 It was like his captain. It was like the groom reaper, like captain or something. Yeah. What? 26:29.870 --> 27:01.374 But yeah, it doesn't matter. So we can move on. So this is where we actually get introduced to the robot girl and the professor. She accidentally stubs her toe on a doorway, and the professor just pulls it off and like, there you go. It doesn't hurt anymore. And she's like, hey, can you tell me why you gave me this twist crank thing? And the professor is like, oh, yes. Let me demonstrate. 27:01.422 --> 27:02.418 Let me show you. 27:02.584 --> 27:23.610 She cranks it a couple of times, and then her big toe just flies off like a missile. And she's like, hey, is that all this crank does? And she's like, yeah, that's it. The only function is to fire the toe like a missile. 27:24.350 --> 27:27.866 Can you take it off? No, it's cute. It's like okay. 27:28.048 --> 27:28.860 All right. 27:29.790 --> 27:38.110 I want to feel like a person, but sure, I'll keep this metal thing so you can fucking assassinate someone with my toe. 27:38.690 --> 27:40.014 Pop my toes off. 27:40.132 --> 27:56.606 But, yeah, then we get closing credits and then a little fun narration of the pinky toe at the very end being like, hey, I'm actually a memory drive. I can hold 1gb. That's not a lot anymore. Anyway, goodbye. And that's the episode. 27:56.798 --> 28:04.438 We also see the guy the guy that the robot lady bumped into, and then it caused the explosion. We see him up on a roof like, Where am I? 28:04.604 --> 28:08.280 Oh, yes. But, yeah, that's episode one. 28:09.050 --> 28:22.320 Yeah, he got shot off. I feel like that the robot lady's. Like, there's nothing special about me except that I can feel pain. I was like, yo, that's, like, morally fucked. suck ethically, that's fucked up as hell. 28:22.690 --> 28:29.534 I can't enjoy things, honestly. Yeah, I can't have fun or feel pleasure, but pain. 28:29.652 --> 28:30.480 Got it. 28:31.010 --> 29:26.190 What a hell's game. Nightmare. Anyway, so we get to episode two, and it opens with the gang, the three girls playing this rock, paper, scissors game to decide who's going up the stairs to play this, like, stair game. And it seems like they have to they come up with some word or phrase and depending on the number of syllables, it's the number of steps they can go up, and they're trying to see and get to the top first. It's not very clear. I don't know if this is just a game they play or if this is a real game somewhere else. And Yuko tries to pull a quick one, trying to do, like I guess it's a company's name that's normally abbreviated, but she extended it to the full name. And me is like, hey, that's cheating. Like, whatever. It's like, all right, now for my turn. And my does this, like, prayer incantation or something that's just like a big old Bible verse, I guess. And she just flies up the stairs instantly and gets to the top and just like, oh, shit. 29:26.350 --> 29:38.018 I need you to know that I just looked up stair Game Japan and all I found is a Japanese game show where people try to maneuver a staircase of slippery staircase. 29:38.114 --> 29:44.994 That is a great video and highly entertaining. I recommend it more than a lot of the stories we watch on this podcast. 29:45.122 --> 29:49.130 Mid show plug for weird slippery stairs. 29:49.470 --> 29:55.946 Oh, wow. No information on the actual game in the show, but that sounds fun. 29:56.128 --> 32:15.158 It's a good time. And then we get the opening again, and then we cut to mia waking up late. And she looks at her clock and the clock died. She's like, oh, God. Didn't wake up and say, mom, how come you didn't wake me up? And she runs downstairs and sees a no for my mom who's going to a kick volleyball game with, like the home association, like president or something. And we just see a static image of like two guys jumping up at a volleyball net and then kicking the ball really high. She's just like, what? It's like soccer, volleyball. So then Mia is running to school late. She's like, oh, geez. And doing her hair, like as she's running down the street. And she passes by someone wearing a school uniform in a big mirror mask. And she keeps running and gets to the light. And she's waiting for the light to change, for the crosswalk. She's trying to catch her breath, like, all right, if I keep running, if I go my full speed, I'll get there at a regular time. And I'll wait a minute. And she sees her memories, like rewinding, like going back to her house. And it's like, no, too far. And then it goes forward again and stops on the person with the bear mask. And it's like, what the fuck was that? And as she turns around, you see the person in the bear mask just running it full sprint, like T 1000 from the terminator, just like flying out. She's like, oh shit. And she starts running too, trying to escape from them. Every time she looks back, it's just going faster and faster and catching up to her. She's like, oh God, what do I do? And the person, the bear master, ends up flying past mio and skidding in front of her and cuts her off me. It's just kind of like freaking out loads. Like, oh God, what's going to happen? And the person, the bear mask just reached into a bag. Did you happen to drop this wooden fish or maybe this golden fish? And it's just like a statue of a fish buzz made of gold, and just like you just pulls out her wallet, just throws money down. You can just have it, just take it. Like she thinks she's being robbed. And then the person, the bear master, I didn't catch it. I didn't write it down. But they make some sort of bear pun and they take the money and they're like, well, I could take this. It's not a bare necessity, but I can bear with it, or something along those lines. And they're like, ah, I'm just messing with you. Let me show you who I really am. And they go to pull off the bear mask. And there's like a Mexican lutein door mask underneath it's, just like, what? And I'm just kidding with you. 32:15.164 --> 32:16.082 Again, incredible. 32:16.146 --> 32:45.006 Let me take off this mask too. And it turns out it's mia's sister. Mia just like punches her in the face, but her hand is spinning like a drill when she punches her and sends her flying. And then we just get like this old monopoly man and his assistant. She's like, oh, wow, that was a quality quirks screw punch. It's like yes. You don't see that too often these days. Like, very impressive. And that's it. That's all they do. And then you never see him again. She's like, oh, why? 32:45.188 --> 32:46.670 Sure, but why? 32:46.820 --> 33:44.366 She's like, weird. Immediately comes back up. I was like, sorry. I'm just like, sorry. You got to appreciate that it took a lot of work to dis able your alarm clock. And she punches her again. It's like, you disabled my alarm clock and maybe late. It's like, I'm just sorry. It's just like a prank here. I'll go out and buy you serraman and holds up Miyo's money. And Mia punches her again. So it's just showing that her sister is kind of a jerk and just like a prankster. And then we get another, like in a nd. Then we get to I'm just calling her the professor. We see her just looking out the window, and she sees a big shark cloud. And robot lady comes by, and she's like, oh, look at this. Look at the big old cloud. Oh, yeah, look at that. Looks like a shark. And then the professor just falls asleep. Okay, this is the dynamic of these two. And then it cuts to the robot lady that's coming home with milk. And professor is all excited, like, oh, yes. Fuck yeah, you got that sweet, sweet milk. Sweet, sweet cow juice. 33:44.558 --> 33:51.830 Oh, I got to get my fish. Fuck yeah, milk, put it right in my veins. 33:54.250 --> 34:36.126 And roboti is kind of like, why did you want this specific milk? Like, you asked for very specific, like the percentage of cream and soften it and stuff. She's like, Why this specific milk? And she's like, oh, it's just really good and it's cold, and it goes, Great, my Swiss roll roll. What? And then the professor hits a button on the remote control, and the robot lady's arm shoots open. And then just a Swiss roll falls out of her arm. And she's just like, what the fuck? Why is there a Swiss roll on my arm? Like, why do I have a Swiss roll dispenser in there? She's like, oh, because it's good. And I like Swiss rolls. She's like, Why make something so specific built into me that I don't know about? Why don't I tell me if you're. 34:36.158 --> 34:37.506 Using me for storage. 34:37.618 --> 35:53.130 Yeah, basically. And then she's like, well, if you're having a Swiss roll and some milk, can I like, it looks tasty. And professor's like, yeah, here's some milk. She's like, all right, cool about that Swiss roll, though. What are we doing with this? She's like, oh, well, like, I finished the Swiss roll, but I got this extra sweet bun. And she hits another button, and the robot lady's. Like, forehead just pops open and a sweet bun slides out of her forehead like a cd tray. She's like, what the what did I just tell you about putting stuff in me that I don't know about? And she was like, imagining a scenario, like how bad it would be if someone saw that in public. Despite the big key in her back, she's still trying to pretend to be human and not let everyone know about it. So she ends up having the sweet bun. Professor finishes her Role and takes a nap. And then she wakes. It just lays down. Really? And then gets up and sees a lady eating her sweet bunch. She's like, oh, can I get some of that? No, you just had your sweet roll. What do you know? Say fine, then I'm going to have my own. And she goes to the fridge and opens it up and there's just like all this food in there and just a big old cake will leave. Like, the fuck? You got a fridge? Why are you using me for storage? Put it in the fridge. 35:53.470 --> 35:56.190 No, it's already there. Just keep it all together. 35:56.340 --> 36:23.830 Yeah. She's like, why don't you use the fridge for storage? She's like, I don't want to. And that's her only reason, because she's still eight years old, despite being a super genius professor that can make a sentient robot. And then we get another rock, paper, scissor bumper between the two. And when they do like, rock, paper, scissors, rebel lady puts her hand out and it's just a sweet roll instead. She's like so she loses that round. And then we get another jump rope bumper. 36:26.170 --> 36:29.822 This is the one with the absolute favorite for summer. 36:29.986 --> 36:32.330 This is so funny. 36:32.910 --> 36:37.100 Don't remember too well. So if you want to describe it daniel fuck yeah. 36:38.830 --> 36:40.380 Get ready for this. 36:40.850 --> 36:41.760 Get ready. 36:42.450 --> 36:46.074 You have to hold on to your seats, ladies and gentlemen. 36:46.122 --> 36:49.806 It's a very visual stop making fun of me. 36:49.988 --> 37:11.758 It's the same exact thing. The same two guys with the eggheads and nuclear goes up and she's like getting ready to do it. And she hops in and just falls on her face. It's so good. Especially the way her body is shaped. Yeah, I'm sure if you looked up like nietzsche Joe jump rope, you could find it. 37:11.864 --> 37:21.740 Yeah, I think I was taking notes, like when this was happening, so I didn't catch the whole thing. But it looked like echoes, like jumping over it, like trying to jump over a fence. She's like, all right, I got this. And it just falls flat down. 37:24.190 --> 37:30.454 It's the over preparation and then the complete failure exactly. In the span of maybe 7 seconds. 37:30.502 --> 38:18.090 That just gets me so quick. And then we come back to school and you guys asking to borrow me his homework. Hey, I didn't do the math homework again. Can I borrow yours? This keeps happening. Fine, but this is the very last time. I'm not giving you my homework to do after this. He goes like, all right. And then someone calls her. Okay, yeah, I'll give you your math homework back after I'm done copying it. And she goes off to talk to whoever was calling her. And then Me was just sitting at her desk. And she was like, fuck, I just remembered I drew a picture in my homework. A very steamy picture of eda, my crush. And I don't know exactly what's happening in that picture, but he's definitely shirtless and or pantsus and very sweaty. 38:18.990 --> 38:20.954 Looks like someone's sucking his day. 38:20.992 --> 38:27.760 Yeah, looks like he's getting a beach. So how dare you just said the same thing. 38:28.130 --> 38:32.250 I did not say beach. 38:32.410 --> 38:33.710 That's what it is. 38:33.860 --> 38:37.380 Yes, sucking a dig is a much more dignified way. 38:38.390 --> 38:47.398 That's not what I mean. I should be like, you said sucking a dig or like getting a blowjob. I'd be like, whatever. It's the use of bees that really. 38:47.484 --> 38:50.194 Just you get in the mind massage. 38:50.322 --> 38:52.390 She was slobbing on a knob. 38:53.370 --> 38:56.120 Why do you guys should do this to me? 38:56.650 --> 39:02.200 I mean, if we want it to be worse, we can make it worse. Now. Beach doesn't sound that bad. 39:03.290 --> 39:04.680 I guess you're right. 39:05.530 --> 43:34.094 So miko like runs up to eco, or Mike runs up to eco and just like, I gotta get that homework back. Can I grab it? I forgot something, you guys. She's like, nah, I got to do the homework real quick. Like you can get it after I'm done. Like, don't worry. And she thinks Me is like trying to pull pranks. She's like, hey, you're not going to get me this time. Like I'm going to finish my homework in time. And mia starts panicking of like so I get to help. She's going to tell people it's going to spread. It's going to ruin my life. I got to get it back. She's getting real intense about it. So she flies up. She's like, oh, hey, actually that's not the right homework. This is you guys just like, no, it says math on the notebook. Like, this is your math homework. Pretty sure I got the right one. Shit. And then she tries to come up with like other ideas. Like, I need my homework back because stomachache and just real desperate. And miu just freaks out. And it's like, you come give me the homework back, I'll buy it off of you. I don't know if she says like a specific homework. She's like, I'll give you a lot of money to buy it back from you. And you two just stands up and it's like, oh, she's going to give it back. And just sprints out the door like full speed running out. She's like, oh shit. And mio goes chasing after and trying to get that notebook back. She's like, fine, I'll tell you the truth. That notebook is going to explode. And still just trying to think of anything to get it back. And you could just start traveling faster and faster, really run. And it's like, oh god. And then mia starts like we get a whole flash flash of mia's life before our eyes. Like, this is it. This is over. I had a good run. And we see her with her sister and she's wearing different costumes. And we see her like the first day of school and stuff. And it's just like the whole very dramatic sequence. And then right at the end of all the memory flashbacks, neo gets like determined. She's like, no, I have to do this. I have to get back. My heart's on fire. I'll win. This just like jettisons into light speed where the animation just starts bending and stretching to show how fast she's going. And just like the hallways all black and white to show that the colors can't even keep up with them. And it's just so just this sequence was really entertaining to me just to see how over the top they were drawing them, running down the hallway at light speed. And right as she's about to catch yuko, you could just push into like second or third gear and just goes even faster. And he was just like, I can't catch up with her. It's like, wait. And she just goes up. yuko, no running in the hallway. And yuko just comes to a dead stop and mute just like trips and just starts rolling down the hallway, like behind her. And she's like, oh god. And yuko goes up. She's like, oh, jeez, mia, are you okay? That was a pretty nasty fall. And as soon as she gets close me, it just snags a notebook. It just takes off. It just disappears. It's like, shit, she got the homework. And yeah, she cuts to, I guess, back in class. And they're handing in the homework and she goes standing outside because she didn't do the homework. And now she was caught. So she has to stand in the hallway and everyone else is passing that work forward. And mia got it back. So she's cool. And then immediately she's like, oh fuck, I forgot to a reason drawing. She stands up. It's like, teacher, I forgot my homework. Even though she already handed it in, she's just like panicking again. I'm like, I got to get it back. And then we cut to the robot woman and the professor and they're cleaning up their house. And robot is just like, oh, hey, could you help clean this up if you're done here? The professor just stands up and walks up to her and she's like, I don't think I'm capable of doing that. I'm going to go to play now. And just walks away. I don't know why this scene really got me because it was just like, no, I'm not going to do what you tell me, but just done in a very poised and professional way of just like, no. And she keeps walking away. She's just, like, a very indignant child. And then what happens? There's, like, another inositial thing that really doesn't matter. And then we see mio goes to the store. She sees the meeting sweep on. They go together. Yeah, there's just, like, a lot of, like they're not even, like, commercial bumpers. They just seem to be, like, scene transitions, because I can't imagine the shows this many commercials. 43:34.222 --> 43:34.900 Yeah. 43:35.830 --> 43:57.080 And here we go. We come back to the redhead girl from earlier from, like, the introduction ceremony thing. And she's standing on the desk, and she's putting a gun at eda, who's just wearing the bear mask we saw miya's sister wearing earlier. It's just like, okay, I wish I had some context for this scene, but there just isn't any. 43:57.530 --> 44:00.678 And she could have possibly gotten here. 44:00.764 --> 46:22.600 Yeah, like, what would have led to this? And she stands down. She gets off the desk, and they're facing each other at the desk. And it looks like she talks about how they're in charge of planning the cultural festival. Check check that off the bingo card. And they're the ones in charge of it. So they're, like, having a meeting after school or something or during a free period. And they're trying to plan it all out. And he's just not helpful at all. He ain't doing jack shit. And he's talking about all the different kind of tea brands they have at school. Like, oh, they changed this one out. And then he just started reading, like, a manga. And so she's like, oh, come on, you're not doing anything. You're killing me here. And while he's reading the manga, we have this very dramatic moment where he's, like, holding the book. You see his hand shoot up, and we see the after image of the hand, and it's like, slow motion. He raises it to his mouth. It's just like, something dramatic. And he just does, like, this weird laugh, like he was just laughing at, like, a joke in the comic. And it's just, like a very, like a very tainty laugh. And then the reddit girl just jumps up on the desk and just pops him in the head again and just shoots him between the eyes. And I guess that's her way of rebelling, of him goofing off. And they're trying to come up with more ideas. And she sees playing a Game Boy, and she shoots them with, like, a machine gun. And then she sees him playing, I think, a virtual boy with, like, the red headset that has the legs propped up. And she's like, wow, that's a fucking reference. And she shoots them with, like, a bazooka and, like, unloads, like, 15 missiles at himself. And he just gets up and walks out smoking from the bazooka attack. And yeah, this is it. Smoking with the Bazook attack. He's like, I'm going to go to the bathroom for a bit. He's still smoking as he's walking down the hall. And when he gets to the bathroom, his butler is there with the powdered wig. And when he goes to the bathroom, butler is like, change can fix him up and cleaning off all the smoke from him. And as he's walking back down the hall, he's changing his pants. Like, very elaborate. That just seems to be what happens for a farm boy. And when Edo walks back into the classroom, he sees the reddit girl just staying there with the bear mask he had on earlier, and he's just, like, frozen in place. And she says, It's not like you're special to me or anything. And then it ends. And I don't know what the fuck any of that was for that's episode two. 46:23.290 --> 46:24.134 Love it. 46:24.252 --> 46:27.960 I love context. I miss it. 46:30.410 --> 46:33.782 This show is really made for me. I love this shower. 46:33.846 --> 46:36.490 I'm enjoying it. I just don't know what the fuck's happening. 46:36.640 --> 46:40.990 Yeah, it's a lot of fun. Oh, boy. It's hard to describe. 46:41.890 --> 47:13.320 It is. I don't need context for any of it. I love it. Anyway, episode three starts with a little black kitty in a cage. And it sees a bird, and it tries to get the bird, and it jostles the cage and escapes. And it pounces at the bird and falls out the window. yuko and mio are walking to school, and they have a riveting conversation where yuko says, why do you always use those hair ties? To which mio says, I just do. 47:13.690 --> 47:14.438 Cool. 47:14.604 --> 47:15.510 Innovate it. 47:15.580 --> 48:00.406 And then miyo says, oh, I forgot my math notebook. And then yuko is like, oh, why do you need it? And she's like, we had homework. I'm going to go get it. And yuko is like, I didn't do my homework, so it doesn't matter if I bring it to class. So she turns the corner, and she sees maya, and she walks up to maya and says, hello. But maya does not acknowledge her. So you go it's just falling close behind, trying to figure out why maya is mad. And they approach an intersection, and they're stopped, waiting for the light to change. And you go as like, I know why you're mad at me. It's because I took the broccoli from your lunch yesterday. So she offers her some broccoli, but maya ignores her. 48:00.508 --> 48:02.166 She just has broccoli on her. 48:02.268 --> 48:19.066 And then same thing happens. She's just falling close behind. She's like, I know why she's mad. I have to apologize. And then she just goes down this list of all of this food that she has taken from my's lunch. Some of them, but that's still some. 48:19.088 --> 48:29.754 Of them are pretty elaborate too. It wasn't just, like, a piece of broccoli. Some of them were like we saw some pictures of them as she was listening to them. It's like, that looked really elaborate and took time to cook. 48:29.802 --> 48:31.262 And you just took it. 48:31.316 --> 48:32.670 Yuko sucks. 48:34.210 --> 48:35.870 Yuko'S problematic. 48:36.530 --> 48:37.530 Canceled. 48:37.690 --> 48:38.462 We're done. 48:38.516 --> 48:39.118 With her. 48:39.204 --> 48:39.840 Done. 48:40.690 --> 49:33.730 And then euco was like, is it because I stole your buddha and did all this shit to it? Pretty much. She stole her buddha. And in order to fix this, she left it. She broke it. She took the buddha broke the buddha, and then put it on my's desk with, like, offerings. And then she changed her mind. That wasn't the solution. So then she tried to bury it, and then she tried to burn it. And she was just talking about all this stuff that she did to my buddha statue. And then yuko finally reaches out and she puts her hand on my shoulder, and Mike turns and looks at her and takes out an ear bud cause she's been listening to music the whole time. And she's like, oh, man. Oh, I didn't know you were listening to music. And like, in her head she's like, I almost spilled the beads. And ama is like, I didn't know you did all that stuff to my buddhist statue. 49:34.070 --> 49:35.090 Busted. 49:36.150 --> 49:45.080 Also, who's the real bad friend? If you see your friend but you still have your headphones in the whole time, as you see they're trying to talk to you. 49:45.850 --> 49:55.286 She didn't see yuko, though. She had her eyes closed the whole time. But she's been walking, but they were closed. She knows that route so well, she could do it with her eyes closed. 49:55.398 --> 50:19.778 My goodness. And then there's a very short thing where the teacher, Miss sakurai, stops a boy with an afro and says, I think your hair is a little inappropriate for school racist. And he's like and then he just reaches into his afro and pulls out a snack. And he's like, you want this? Great. 50:19.864 --> 50:21.166 The ultimate deflection. 50:21.278 --> 51:26.566 That's my shit. And then yuko again. Classic yuko. Forgot they had a math worksheet, but she can't ask Neo to copy hers because she asked her yesterday. So she asks My, and My hands her a folded piece of paper, and yuko is like, oh, great. Thanks. And then she opens it, and it's just a pencil drawing comic of a boy being like, oh, I'm late for school. And then his dad is like, It's not even your early. And then he's like, no, dad, I'm late for school. And then the dad's like, I got laid off. And then she's like, oh, my, he handed me the wrong thing. And she hands her another piece of paper and she opens it, and it's a continuation of the comic. And the guy's like, I'm late to school, and my dad got and then she hands her another piece of paper, which is a worksheet, but not the right one. 51:26.668 --> 51:28.360 It's like physics or something. 51:28.810 --> 51:30.150 Mine is sad. 51:31.630 --> 51:32.666 I love it. 51:32.768 --> 52:25.338 Yeah, same. Honestly. And then it's like during class time and they're doing math, and you go he's like, I don't understand this. And the teacher is looking for someone to call on to answer the question. And no one raises their hand. And he's like, oh, well, participation counts toward your grade. So everyone raises their hand, and yuko is kind of like, what are the odds he'll call on me? So she like, raises her hand really small, and then he just starts picking random people, and she's so afraid that she's going to get picked. And then her arm cramps, and then her stomach growls, and everyone hears it, and they kind of make jokes about it. And then the teacher tries to joke about it too. And there's just a shot of every student in the room, and their face is the exact same drawing of just this disappointed look. And that really got me, too. Loved that. 52:25.424 --> 52:28.106 Nothing kills a joke faster than when a teacher knows it. 52:28.208 --> 52:41.630 Yeah. And then there's the interstitial of the robot and the professor doing rock, paper, scissors. Robot's hand blasts off this time. And then this jump rope bit was so disappointing. 52:42.370 --> 52:48.366 Are you ready for the most hilarious thing you've ever heard of this one's? 52:48.398 --> 52:58.894 Disappointing because it's the same thing. Exact same thing. But it's my turn. And I was like, oh, what's she going to do? And she's reading a book. She just jumps in, starts jumping. 52:59.022 --> 53:00.998 She's good at it. It's not fun to watch. 53:01.084 --> 53:06.326 She's good at it. It's not funny. She doesn't fall down or get hit in the head by the jump for a while. 53:06.428 --> 53:10.602 That's what makes it so good. It subverts the thing that's been set up. 53:10.736 --> 53:11.850 Go back to film school. 53:11.920 --> 53:13.178 Comedy 101. 53:13.264 --> 53:14.010 We don't want you. 53:14.080 --> 53:16.490 Rules of threes. bidges. 53:18.510 --> 53:20.060 Yes and no. 53:23.250 --> 53:37.842 And then the robot is on her way home from shopping, and she sees the kitty from the beginning, and she thinks, oh, I shouldn't take this. We can't keep a cat. And then she gets home, and the cat is already there. 53:37.976 --> 53:39.022 You got plea. 53:39.166 --> 54:02.458 And she's like, all right, listen. If you keep to the professors, she's like, if you keep this cat, you have to do this, this, and this for him. And she's like, Aren't you going to do anything? If you're not going to do anything, then I just won't let you touch him. Which is kind of my feelings about my cat, where I'm like, if I'm going to do everything, you all can't even look at him. 54:02.624 --> 54:04.730 You touch him. That's my son. 54:04.800 --> 54:13.982 But I don't do everything, but he is still my son. And then the robot is like, no, that's not what I mean. I still want to hang out with him. 54:14.036 --> 54:15.070 That's kitty. 54:15.650 --> 54:46.674 And the kitty falls asleep, and the robot's laugh, and they start rubbing him, and look at how fluffy his paws are and how fluffy his tail is. And then it wakes up. And clyde gets down on the floor and starts meowing. It's just crying. And then the professor is like, I got this. So she leaves the room for a second, and it comes back with a little red bandana. And she's like, I'm going to put this on the cat. And then we can understand what it says. And the robot's like, you've done it again, genius. 54:46.722 --> 54:49.660 Genius. Your only good invention for fun. 54:51.550 --> 55:12.734 And they put it on him and he jumps on the table and he says, you pet me too much. And they're just like and he says, how old are you? And the professor says, I'm eight. And robot says, I'm one. And he's like, all right. Well, I'm about 20 in adult years, so I think I know a little better than you. 55:12.852 --> 55:14.670 I'm in charge, robot. 55:15.270 --> 55:19.410 And robot picks him up and says, should I leave him where we found. 55:19.560 --> 55:21.038 He just toss a bag. 55:21.214 --> 55:28.558 Professor is just like, yeah. And then he's like, oh, no, I'm sorry. And he jumps down and apologizes. 55:28.654 --> 55:52.300 I also like that the professor calls him like, oh, which call him sakamoto. Why? It's like, that was the name on the box. And both the robot and the cat, once he gets to the scarf, is like, isn't that a little too simple? Just calling him what was ever on the box. But then when he was chastizing him saying like, I'm 20. I'm your senior. You should be calling me Mr. sakamoto. So he still calls himself Bad. He just wants the respect of the Mr. 55:52.610 --> 56:28.774 Yes. And there's a very strange scene after this that I was not going to talk about, but it's so weird that I want to mention it. The vice principal is walking by the principal and he drops, like, something that looks like a voodoo doll made out of straw. And the principal picks it up and he's like, vice Principal, what is this? And the vice principal is like, look inside the body. And he opens the body and it just looks like it's filled with b. And the principal, like, freaks out. 56:28.972 --> 56:31.570 I had this is one of the themes baffling. 56:31.650 --> 56:33.206 And I love the yeah. 56:33.388 --> 56:35.090 Span of like 6 seconds. 56:35.170 --> 56:35.994 Yeah, very short. 56:36.032 --> 56:36.620 Yes. 56:36.990 --> 57:01.550 Yeah. This is when I looked up because I saw it, I was like, is it filled with spider eggs? Because it looks sticky. Like, it looks like there's like something in there. So I'm like, what the fuck is this? And yeah, you're right. It's like fermented soybeans called nado, which is like a Japanese snack or something. So I guess the vice principal is just using it as, like a lunch box. So he's just like, oh, he's just super weird. 57:01.710 --> 57:33.822 I love it. And then we cut to yuko, My and miyo in the classroom. And yuko wants to have an arm wrestle battle with My. And I guess the winner gets juice. And my just wins. And then yuko was like, I was just warming up. Let's try again. And of course My wins again. And yuko just keeps being like, no, I wasn't ready. I wasn't looking. No, we have to do this again. 57:33.876 --> 57:36.750 The classic double or nothing conundrum. 57:37.250 --> 57:51.460 Yes. And yuko is like, oh, you just have beginner's luck. And then she has this dramatic anime moment where she, like, pulls off her bow on her school uniform and tosses it to mio. And she's like, Hold this for me. 57:51.990 --> 57:52.882 I love that. 57:52.936 --> 58:14.698 It's time to pull out the big guns. And I'm realizing now that each episode has this weird moment of intense anime where the first one was the thing with the hot dog. The second one was the moment where with the notebook, where she was running after yuko. And then this was like, this dramatic, like, time to bring out the big. 58:14.864 --> 58:16.730 Time to go over the edge. 58:17.390 --> 58:28.538 And May just fucking obliterates yuko, but yuko just won't win. maya is very strong, and she loves juice. 58:28.714 --> 58:33.230 She's on the tooth. That's why she's so strong. steroids. 58:33.890 --> 58:48.470 And then we cut to yuko crying, and she's like, I couldn't win. And she gets up to leave, and maya's like, yuko, you owe me 23 juices. And the thing from the station. And then that's the end of the episode. 58:49.210 --> 59:22.762 Oh, there was one little snippet, like, kind of a hint at the end. And then it's just yuko and My in class, and she goes like, I didn't do the homework again. And she turns to mine and she's like, My, I got to find out what happened to your comic. And she just wants to see what the next page is. I just handed it to her, and it's the kid. Like, the last one was he was getting attacked by a tiger. And in this one, he's just sitting on the tiger, but he's sitting in, like, bumper to bumper traffic, like on the highway. And he could just sitting there going, I don't get it. And then it ends. 59:22.906 --> 59:24.560 That sounds good. 59:26.130 --> 59:30.420 I'm glad we're not the only ones who talk to me. I also enjoyed it. 59:31.190 --> 59:33.170 This show is incredible. 59:34.310 --> 59:55.980 Yeah. Now that we're in the overall discussion portion of it, I don't want to say better executed as among godo, because this is trying to be much more out there than the other show is, but this is just so much more fun to watch. 59:56.430 --> 59:58.220 There's something actually happening. 59:58.910 --> 01:00:09.962 Yeah. I thought of a scale, so I can think of four shows that are kind of like this. And this is how the scale goes. One is Aussie manga dio. 01:00:10.026 --> 01:00:10.654 Got you. 01:00:10.772 --> 01:00:25.830 Two is a show that we have not watched yet, but it's called Lucky Star. And it's a very similar thing, but a little less out there than nietzsche Joe. So Niche Joe is three and then four is just pop team epic. 01:00:27.290 --> 01:00:39.320 I feel like with the intensity and how random things were coming out, I was getting Pop Team Epic of the little few clips I've seen of it. 01:00:39.710 --> 01:00:40.460 Yes. 01:00:40.830 --> 01:00:45.660 Those little clips you've seen might have been a full episode of Pop Team Epic. They're very fair. 01:00:46.670 --> 01:00:53.150 Yeah. But all four of those shows kind of just share a similar vibe but at different intervals. 01:00:54.290 --> 01:00:58.494 The absurdity level goes up 25% per show. 01:00:58.612 --> 01:01:00.000 Yeah, exactly. 01:01:00.370 --> 01:01:14.798 Yeah. I haven't seen a lucky star, but the context of the other three. Yeah, I'd agree with that. That's in good scale. Yeah, they are. It's not even like I was thinking you were going to go with the mountain colony of Hero. Mountain colony? 01:01:14.894 --> 01:01:15.678 Haruhi. Susan. 01:01:15.694 --> 01:01:24.038 I'm really bad at character names, so I thought you're going to go with that one as the last one. But yeah, that's that's more of a narrative. Like that has an overarching story. 01:01:24.204 --> 01:01:27.014 Yeah. That shows very different from these, where. 01:01:27.052 --> 01:01:37.910 All of these are just like sketches. They're all just like sometimes there will be a bit of story that carry over between part one and part two of the episode. But more or less it's just like random scenes. 01:01:38.070 --> 01:01:40.294 Just nonsense. This is absurdist. 01:01:40.342 --> 01:01:41.130 Animal. 01:01:41.570 --> 01:01:43.114 This is my type of anime. 01:01:43.162 --> 01:01:46.542 Yeah, I enjoyed this. This is very fun. 01:01:46.596 --> 01:01:49.440 I bet you millennials are loving it. 01:01:50.370 --> 01:01:52.990 Oh, man. It's just like mine. 01:01:54.390 --> 01:01:55.970 Find the anime. 01:01:57.350 --> 01:01:58.820 I don't want that. 01:01:59.830 --> 01:02:03.202 But have you seen Pop team epic? Because that's all it is. 01:02:03.256 --> 01:02:05.614 It is. They were roommates. 01:02:05.742 --> 01:02:07.118 I'm conflicted. 01:02:07.214 --> 01:02:09.030 My god, they were roommates. 01:02:10.010 --> 01:02:18.680 Oh, god. And there are so many matches where people take the audio vines and just put them over scenes in anime and like god, it works. It does work so well. 01:02:19.550 --> 01:02:24.778 You all been seeing the Animal Crossing ones. 01:02:24.944 --> 01:02:25.642 Oh, no. 01:02:25.696 --> 01:02:33.414 Yes. The guy that remakes vines is Animal Crossing. They're so funny. Oh my gosh. 01:02:33.462 --> 01:02:53.150 Anyway, we're getting distracted. The show, though. I'm glad I finally had an excuse to sit down and just watch a few episodes of it because it has been on my list for a while. And I did enjoy it as about as much as I was expecting to. The few clips I've seen were like the absurdist, like the girl shooting the busukuz that I'm and stuff. So I'm happy it lived up to the expectation. 01:02:53.310 --> 01:03:09.720 Yeah, I like a show that can make me laugh out loud because I enjoy I love comedy, obviously, but very few shows can get me like laughing out loud. Yes. And this fucking jump from every time. 01:03:14.190 --> 01:03:38.660 I was a little disappointed because there's a scene I've seen a lot and I was hoping it would be in the first three episodes. But it's of the principal fighting the goat and pulls just like a full half nelson, like rear naked choke on them and just flips back and slams the goat. It's just like, what the fuck? And there seems to be no context for it even after watching it. So it's just like I want to get to that part. 01:03:39.830 --> 01:03:41.422 Well, this was delightful. 01:03:41.486 --> 01:03:46.500 What about you, Duke? And are we there yet? We chucking this up to a yes. 01:03:47.350 --> 01:04:13.742 Yeah, I definitely enjoyed my time. This is something I would put on. Because, again, you can tune in and out and still have the full context, because you have no context if you watch every second of it. So, yeah, this is definitely something I would put on in the background as so I could look up and see, like, an alien playing hopscotch or something. I assume they get to that level. 01:04:13.876 --> 01:04:18.730 Yeah, they'll hit there eventually. Sweet. Thank you for the recommendation. 01:04:18.890 --> 01:04:20.554 Yes. Thanks, delaney. 01:04:20.682 --> 01:04:24.980 Thank you. And what do we have going on next week? 01:04:25.990 --> 01:04:29.540 Oh, boy, I've been waiting for this. 01:04:33.430 --> 01:04:39.342 Oh, boy, I have sunken into a hole in the ground. I am so afraid. 01:04:39.486 --> 01:05:18.180 Yeah, that's not going to save you. That ain't going to help. So the last few picks I've made were out of genuine earnesty and I thought, hey, this might be something diggin likes, this might be something that catches interest. Maybe he liked the characters, the story or something. This pick, I'm being selfish. This is my pick. I don't give a fuck. I don't care if this is a quintessential part of anime that you need to experience, whether you like it, and you definitely will like it. Next Episode we're watching Monster massume yes. Episodes one, two and eight. 01:05:19.430 --> 01:05:21.134 I love monster girls. 01:05:21.182 --> 01:05:27.874 I know nothing about this, but no, you too. And how much joy you're getting out of it. I'm so afraid. 01:05:28.002 --> 01:05:28.680 Yes. 01:05:29.290 --> 01:05:36.200 I'm so excited. I've never seen it, but I know what it is and I'm so excited that I just watched it. 01:05:36.730 --> 01:05:42.890 It's going to be so much fun, especially having dana on board. I'm excited. 01:05:44.030 --> 01:05:45.574 I'm so scared. 01:05:45.622 --> 01:05:49.660 I mean, we'll see how on board I am after we watch it. 01:05:50.450 --> 01:05:53.120 It's going to be interesting, I'll say that. 01:05:53.890 --> 01:05:55.178 How exciting. 01:05:55.354 --> 01:06:19.002 Well, if you, the listener, has a pick that will hopefully be better than next week, you can send your recommendations to us.
