Yo everybody hopefully You guys can hear me all right because it's been a wild wild couple of minutes. I'm sorry that I'm super late on this stream but technical hiccups Got in the way. I Can see that I'm already delayed through the Streamyard but Um, oh shoot, I guess I shouldn't have done it through stream yard. That's gonna be awkward Um Yeah All right. Yeah, that was totally unnecessary. I shouldn't have linked it up to stream yard now that I think about it because Um, you can see the comments in the desktop um Yeah, that's It's been one of those days everybody, but regardless you're watching this live welcome Uh to another installment here at a weekend geek them Uh, gio here and today I decided to uh do this review a little bit early I am doing my uh anime season review typically I wait at the end of every season to Work on that stuff But I'm trying to change things up. I'm trying to do a couple new things here and there with the channel Take it in a new direction nothing too radical, but you know Ironing out the kinks here and there and I noticed that I Didn't really have to wait the whole three months for each season to end for me to talk about that stuff and compared to uh manga and comics in this channel I rarely talk about anime as often as I would like As often as I should so I thought I changed that and from now on maybe Like a month in to a new season. I can do a proper Video on it or like here's what you should be watching or what I recommend or like mini spoiler free reviews And if you want me to review the show I'll wait at the end of the season I guess Once it's over and I'll do a proper video on it review All that fun stuff. So hopefully All that works out So thank you to everybody in the chat I see there are a couple uh awesome peeps in here. I highlighted some comments before we started so that's awesome Um, I do apologize once again. Uh, I also I had some issues with the camera I had some issues with the lighting Uh, it's been it's been wild. But what's important is that we're here now.  I do apologize I wanted it to be in order of the shows that I I watch because I follow the weekly schedule, right? uh Mondays Tuesdays all that stuff And uh, I think the images are out of order. So I do apologize on that But it'll give you something nice to look at while you listen to Uh, the sound of my voice in slight delay because yay technology So thank you everybody for tuning in My boy Adonis, uh, check out his podcast Which is really cool. I saw the latest episode on Bloodborne. I really enjoyed it I'm actually trying to play that game, but I have to admit I'm not that great at it and it I I'm trying but it's it's not going so well Uh, check out mango and the champ here on youtube You can check out on my friends list on my channel and you'll find a link right there. You can subscribe help a brother out um Super nice guy, uh one of the nicest guys on on the platform And if you guys can sub to that podcast that would be super awesome Uh, I see post punk omni dog and man james. Thank you everybody for joining just mason. Thank you so much I find this is one of the best anime seasons ever They're on a lot of great shows and unfortunately I didn't have the time to watch every single one and I came to the realization that I didn't need to watch every Single one. I thought maybe it was a clout thing or or trying to be like the like the big Antitubers or whatever the hell they call themselves I don't need to do that. I just need to do whatever I want because it's my channel, right? So I was trying in seasons past to watch as many shows as possible And this particular season these past couple of months have been really difficult due to real life issues and Uh Work and different things that are happening that Sometimes I would miss shows entirely and I would have to play catch-up And it would screw up my entire week Especially this season where a good chunk of the shows that I'm going to talk about right now Came out or are coming out as of this video on saturdays like seven or eight of them at the same time So if I missed a saturday, I would have this huge backlog and I hate that because that actually gives me Anxiety and I'm trying to play catch-up with all that stuff. So yeah, uh, lots of good shows I dropped some shows, which is what I was getting at Lots of good shows, but unfortunately I had to drop some because of nitpicking or Whatever or I simply didn't like it or I thought, you know, it's not it's not for me. I'd rather Be productive elsewhere and do other things and continue to watch something that I'm not really enjoying So I dropped like three different shows, which I'll talk to in a second here Um, I hear you about to the catch-up on behind my in my manga reading Yeah, I was supposed to drop a video on two of the new shonen jump manga and do like a first impressions because I really like them the What are they called again? Jesus Christ Uh, can be flurry and blue box are the two that I'm working on to make a Neat little video on I know I'm super late. Don't really care. My impressions on it is with counts So I've been reading those two series along with everything else along with the physical stuff that I'm getting It's it's insane Plus trying to catch up with western comics and Regular stuff and I don't know it's a mess Hmm candy flurry, uh, adonis, um, I like it, but I really enjoy blue box a lot more like I missed having Something so soap opera-ish with teens in my life. So I'm really excited For reading that. Uh, oh art walker. Thank you. Hello from Texas. I'm late, but I'm here now That's what matters. Don't worry about it. I started a little bit late, but you're here now Uh, god bless. Thank you so much for tuning in art So we're talking About the season a lot of good shows right now the list is 25 Different shows, right? Let's let's see if I can get the number 26 different shows plus the ones I dropped That's a lot So what we're gonna do is we're gonna begin with the same image that you have here and that is The actual title and you'll have to have all uh, you'll have to excuse me. I should say I have here my any list profile because There's so many, uh different shows different creators names studios I I I tried my hardest to remember every single thing. I didn't So I'm gonna read some things off the, uh, any list here So the first one on mondays, uh for my viewing is hikahito After being rejected. I shaved and took in a high school runaway So the name is totally, uh hilarious and absurd This is an anime done by the folks over at where's the studio project nine They if I remember correctly. Yeah, they were the ones that did Super X heroes last, uh fall No summer 2020 they did super X heroes, which I I did not like that show. I do not recommend it I thought it was going to be A risque super sentai and and it I think the manga goes down that route But the first anime season was pretty uh, pretty terrible in my opinion and did not achieve the greatness of that opening Seriously, it had last year. That was one of the best Anime openings ever and the song everything about it was just glorious and I wanted to see that in the show I didn't get that the animation was pretty good actually So they also did uh, didn't I say to make my abilities average in the next life? Which I really enjoyed the art in that is super cute So the studio they know what they're doing. They're adapting this light novel that recently ended if I remember correctly and The manga adaptation is still ongoing for Higa Hido So what is this exactly about so we're following the character of Yoshida He is this 26 year old salaryman and he He just got rejected by his crush at work And on his way home that night after drinking and eating and all that stuff He vines this high school girl named Sayu sitting on the side of the road next to the The route near his house. I suppose his apartment Yoshida is drunk and ends up letting her stay at its place overnight because she you know, it's a young girl um He realizes she's a runaway and not having the heart to dump her and and tell her to uh Leave and stuff. She uh, he allows her to stay at his place so Right there you get some really yikes, uh warning flags of something kind of interesting where you have This relationship of a 26 year old with a high schooler. However, however I will say Uh, the beginning of this series There's this promise that it's not going to be As perverted as you might think and it might actually turn out to be quite wholesome because the character of Yoshida Actually does care about her and doesn't see her in a romantic way or anything and you get to understand the character of Sayu she however Unfortunately, I think it's for the past year or so has uh gone from Bed to bed if you will and different to get um across Town and and money and all that stuff and as the plot develops you learn why she's doing that or why she did that I should say and You know, uh, there's a whole dramatic thing there with with her and the relationship that forms. Obviously, uh, she's sort of She doesn't see him as a white knight stand and actually starts kind of maybe developing feelings for uh, Yoshida, but Yoshida just sees her as a this, uh, runaway student, uh Sister type character There are a couple tropes that go into this because you have other co-workers that actually do have a crush on our main character but he is too much of a moron to realize and Super stubborn and will just defend Sayu and I don't know eventually you find out that the girl, uh, her family is looking for her so that God comes into play and Yeah, I mean I like That you can do something unconventional like that however I do understand that people will be upset with a plot like this because immediately you think Uh, all right a full grown man taking it a high schooler. This is extremely creepy I wouldn't blame them but I do appreciate the fact that It's a really heartwarming relationship and you get to understand the character Of Sayu and why she would do the things that she did and and run away like that and and all that stuff Uh, the animation is gorgeous. I love part of the reason I kept watching is simply because of the character designs and the animation I think this is project not number nine's best Uh show by far best adaptation that they've done it looks amazing. I I really enjoy the character palette if you will I believe uh, this is by buta Which also worked on a couple other Anime that I have never seen like uh, himote house ova and seven senses of their reunion No idea what they're about. I'm just reading off the uh, credits list here But yeah, nonetheless, if you're willing to look past the premise of higahito Weird premise. I think you're going to be treated with something a little bit different There was another series that I can't remember the name right now It was another romantic comedy that was much creepier than this and that I stayed away from because I saw the first episode did not care about it. I don't even remember the name It was one of those things where you're like, uh, no, no, thank you. But for this, uh, higahito I I do I do recommend it. There are some weird things that happen But for the most part, it's it's interesting. I I dug it I think it's uh, it's an interesting take on the whole rom-com thing if you can look past the h difference and all that stuff because um don't get uh, the wrong idea here I mean Something like that could happen in real life I'm not saying it's right. That's not for me to say or judge or anything. I'm just saying There's a possibility that it could happen somewhere some place. I don't know some time ago, whatever But you know what I mean? It's not out of the realm of possibility Uh, higahito, I Dig it. I recommend it. I guess let's After the rain after the rain is a good show, I really enjoyed that because uh, it's the girl falling in love with her boss and There's a psychological aspect, but it's more about growing up And it doesn't go the creepy route that you're thinking. I really dug that anime adaptation I haven't read the manga, but the anime I really dug it I heard some good things about blue flag earlier this year, but volume one that's hard to find is now easier to find. Yeah definitely blue flag is Interesting it's on my watch list. I don't know when I'll get to it, but I want to check it out all right, so after that we Go into let's see if the Stupid function here I don't think it's gonna work. It's gonna show something completely different Uh, all right, let's see The next one. Yeah, it's showing Godzilla. It shouldn't do that I I apologize the files and the file names were numbered so it shouldn't have been uh skipping around So just enjoy the slideshow just Uh, enjoy it The next show on the list Uh that I was watching on mondays is let's make a mug too. This was actually pretty interesting I typically enjoy I always add a cutesy slice of life show in my seasons because they are a great palette cleanser and sometimes we just need that stuff Simple plots simple characters, but it's the charm of their daily activities that puts a smile to my face And makes me appreciate the little things in life. So this season Yeah, let's make a mug two stars a couple of cute girls in a pottery class So essentially you have the character of Jimeno Toyokawa who moves into this To the gifu pre fractures Tajimi city And there uh, that's where her mother's from. Uh, she passed away when she was super young. So now she's attending her mother's school and Her classmate invites her to This special pottery club and over there you meet the rest of the characters Mika And all the rest and it's just them Trying to you know, they're competing in a contest to make a pottery item and her discovering the legacy of her mother and the things that she Did in the school and how she impacted the city and how she was famous for her skills and all that stuff That is really hardwarming stuff. I really enjoyed it. The art style is extremely adorable. This one is done by uh nipon animation And I I love the color palette animations not as fluid as I would have liked but Keep in mind. This is a 15 minute Show per episode type of show so what's Funny about it is that when you watch the first episode and then You're treated to an extra episode another 15 minutes of the Actors of the show the voice actresses uh Doing the things that the characters did in the show they're going to do that in real life and In the city and then doing the whole pottery and then if they go to a cafe They go to different cafe and try different foods and stuff. So it's actually pretty funny and it's very, uh Wholesome that you get live action content related to the show right after so that was really interesting So, yeah, let's make it look too simple to watch show I do recommend that if you're in the mood for something simple but cute and wholesome you got it the next show that I watched after that Is um to your eternity to your eternity, of course, based of the amazing manga of the same name, uh from Yoshitoki oima the mangaka, of course of uh a silent voice Uh, this I made a video on the first volume of the manga a couple years ago. I think it was 2018 when I made that video I really enjoyed the book and since then I've read Seven volumes of the manga and I'm watching this anime adaptation. So if you don't know what this is it's this gorgeous beautiful show about this orb that was cast onto the earth and it fueled by the stimulus around it and nature and all that stuff Um Comes to life and the first thing it does is transforms into a raka and then into a wolf finally to a boy and then proceeds from there to Live life and learn about things and meet new people and characters and extraordinary things are about to happen as he starts this wolf board, I guess um fushi he starts interacting with his environment and How to speak and and and the concept of a family and You know all these wonderful things the animation Is some of the best of the season of the year in my opinion um The show is Was it brain space? Let me check real quick Brain space. Yeah brain space The all who did last year inspector, which was my favorite shows of 2020 Um, I really enjoyed that and the animation on that was superb. So I really enjoy uh to your eternity I think it's a really faithful adaptation to the manga uh, be wary if you're going in the No attention to the opening because it It has some spoilers. I mean you're gonna look at it and you don't know what the heck you're looking at But it kind of spoils the entire season. They're doing 20 episodes Which should cover the first six volumes of the month And I every time I look at the opening. I'm like, yeah, that's a spoiler. Yeah another one. It's riddled with spoilers Again, if you're going in blind, you're not gonna care. You don't know what they're doing Or who the characters are but just a throwing con out there Wonderful characters a wonderful story and that that really tells that your heart Filled with emotion and I plan on doing a video on to your eternity as I catch up because I have most the volumes, right I have the up to volume 12 I think 11 or 12 or something. So that should be good Possible amounts that I can review Uh for the channel. Uh, but yeah the anime Easily going to be on my list of best of 2021 a wonderful adaptation Here are some the anime coming to Netflix this month record of ragnarok. Yeah, I want to watch that. That's going to be for summer God's ill a singular point. We're going to talk about it in a little bit And the seven deadly sins not really my thing, but a lot of people like seven deadly sins All right, so moving on from that, uh, what was the other one that I was watching? Oh, of course fruits basket the final season This I keep telling my friends. This is essentially like the FMA brotherhood for uh fruits basket They I'm so happy that they went back and animated the whole story And since day one since the first season, they've been knocking it out of the park such a great adaptation such a from such a beloved shojo staple of manga and Final season it's it's shorter because I think it's only 13 episodes But each one has the emotional weight of a season finale Of the other seasons you get what I mean. They're packed Everything pays off every every journey from the soma family and totu and her work towards Freeing them from the zodiac curse and the trials and tribulations and the relationship issues that get explored are just Wonderful beautiful and this final season. I I'm not kidding every single episode Really does feel like you're watching this series finale This emotional climax and it ends and you go on to the next episode and it's the same hype all over again I I I loved it. I think it's a beautiful gorgeous series There's a revelation the the big revelation that you're waiting for when you're following the story That happens in this final season and when it does it got animated so beautifully and I I couldn't help but get Goosebumps watching it and emotional myself. I I love uh, I love this final season of fruits basket. I hope that they're able to adapt the Uh ova they do ova's for The other story which I'm forgetting the name of was it another Let me see here real quick Because there's fruits basket the manga and Yeah, fruits basket another I hope that they're able to adapt that three volume series into maybe like a couple ova's or something like that because Uh, it'd be a shame if they did it because it's Yeah, it's a classic for a reason. I'm so happy and you can ignore the previous anime Don't don't ignore that. Just watch Uh, this uh new reboot of it. I guarantee you'll love it So after that Oh, thank you. Thank you, man. Gio is awesome. Um, thank you so much I'm okay. Nothing too special Uh, the next show that I watched is probably going to be on my list for best show of 2021 I'd love me some anthropomorphic animals. I've mentioned that in in on this channel, whether it's reviewing comics with furry like characters or manga or anime I think Compared to like b-stars and other stuff like that. Uh, bna brand new animal odd taxi I think odd taxi is in the running for the best story with anthropomorphic animals it I mean, it's It's such a gem of a show if you don't know what this is is this essentially, uh An alternate reality or an alternate earth. I guess with anthropomorphic animals living in the cities Same customs same technologies as the ones that we use with social media Radio television all that stuff So instead of people they're anthropomorphic animals and we follow this taxi driver called hiroshi otokawa A 41 year old, uh walrus Who drives around the city as a taxi cab driver? and You follow his life as he interacts with the people that he knows and the customers and all that stuff And as eventually as you start watching the first step One or two episodes the first two episodes All the characters are somehow interlinked interwoven into the narrative of the show and there is this High schooler that goes missing and that sort of Kicks the plot forward for odd taxi as you have otokawa Experiencing the life of the city and his quirky nature and and how he's sort of this oddball He doesn't really fit in with society, but um, he's actually a really smart person with a really witty smart ass persona And you just meet like uh go riki the gorilla who's his local doctor You meet in miho the alpaca. Is an alpaca or a llama one of the two. She's amazing I'd love that character so much. She's my favorite and then It continues going like that and one of the best things about odd taxi is the dialogue I do want to mention about the animation of it, but the dialogue on odd taxi is amazing. It's so fast-paced and cleverly written It feels like if you're not paying attention, you're gonna miss so much detail And I would assume there's a lot of puns and alliterations and all that stuff with the japanese language that's being missed, but I think the subs do a good job of um transmitting the transmitting that across the screen for the viewer in different languages The way oddakawa speaks and the multiple references that he makes to different media and and Questions about the language itself when he speaks with miho Stuff like that. There's a character that i'm not going to reveal who he is because it's a spoiler But he talks in rhymes He's this rapper wannabe and it's so cleverly done and and the beats of the character when he speaks are amazing, so honest honestly This is one of that show one of the best shows. This is done by olm studio They are the folks that uh, what was the what was the show that they? Did a couple years back I know they worked on yokai watch one. There was another one Um, oh the pokemon movie right pokemon movie and the sun and moon series but They're also going to be working later this year on the anime adaptation of komisan Can communicate And that looks gorgeous as well. They really did replicate the manga into anime perfectly But with odd taxi, I like that. It's an original anime. There's a manga Adapting it at the same time it's being published This year and the manga looks great, but the anime is the original so I do recommend watching that I Absolutely love it. Hugo. Thank you for watching man. Get some sleep. Thank you for joining in So, yeah, I do recommend Odd taxi it is wonderful amazing. I love everything about it The next one on my list here is The saint's magic power is omnipotent This is an isekai. You know me. You know that I don't mind not saying I like all of them I don't mind isekai. Most of them are actually good to okay Some of them are actually really excellent like the isekai quartet universe. I really enjoy that but Every season you get a couple of them and this time around I decided to watch the saint's magic is omnipotent And it's actually quite clever. I do enjoy it basically this overwork Lady she gets summoned to a new world that's very magic oriented kind of um High society with kingdoms and bureaucrats and and all that fancy stuff and The character's name is say takanashi and when she gets her gets there Finds out that she was doubled summoned with another girl The idea behind it is that this new magical world is looking for this saint that will help them With that whatever saintly duties and title. I I don't know The other girl that summoned is believed to have been the saint and say was sort of like this extra I guess they used too much magic and summoned two characters instead of one so says push to the side and she's just living in one of the Royal grounds or castles or whatever and she starts taking an interest in spells magic herbs medicine stuff like that And they suddenly find through some hijinks that she actually has a huge amount of mana or magic or whatever it may be and it turns out that she might be The real saint and the other girl is not so I like That you are playing around with the tropes and the isekai stuff by having A character being summoned and the main protagonist is not really the protagonist at first But yeah, it's cute wholesome. There's enough intrigue and drama and Romance in it to entertain you week after week and I've really been enjoying the character of say she's really well written and her humor And how she observes this World and the different characters and how they interact with her. There's this commander hawk, I think It's falling in love with her. She's obviously She doesn't really know what to do at first and I like that they're older characters as well the girl that was summoned I what was her name? Shoot, I can't remember her name. Let's see if I can get the character list here Aida She's a high schooler. Meanwhile our protagonist say she is Office woman if I remember correctly an adult So I like that it's not about teens and teen hijacks when they get summoned into another world like that the animation on this is done by studio Amida I think they're the ones that did domestic girlfriend, which was a trashy show I hated that show, but the animation on that was all right. They also do ahiro nosora the basketball series. So That sort of gives you a Range of what they can do But I do recommend watching it. It's quite wholesome indeed Great characters and in great world building aspects You learn about stuff through say's eyes as she's learning about this world that she's now a part of Can she go back? Is she going to stay there? Is she really the saint stuff like that? And uh, obviously her learning about magic and all that I really enjoyed it If you like rpgs and all that stuff, I think you're going to be right at home There are monsters in the woods and they do fight them and all that stuff But yeah, like say is a great character and I do recommend that show After that The next one it's not really considered a show honestly because the episodes are a minute long It's a original net animation and ona It is miss kobayashi's dragon maid s short animation series. It's essentially Lead up into the july Premiere of the second season of miss kobayashi's dragon maid. I really really love Dragon maid. I think it's a really hilarious heartwarming series that Occasionally has a bit of fan service here and ecchi humor. I don't mind that stuff at all But with the animations the s short series They're just one minute episodes of a cute little moment in the lives of these characters Nothing really happens It's just a quirky little situation that the characters find themselves in and you can laugh at it The problem is it's beautifully done because it's uh Kyoto animation It looks gorgeous. It replicates the art of the manga exceptionally well You start watching it the minute passes It's over and i'm sitting here frustrated because I want more A lot of people are waiting until The premiere of the second season to just watch all the short clips I think they're gonna make up like a A 30 minute episode total if you add all the Episodes that they've aired so far, but if you like, uh Miss kobayashi's dragon maid you're gonna love the shorts Hopefully they do get ported or released on a blu-ray as an extra feature or something when they do the second season I don't know I do if you like the original season It'll be right at home with the shorts After that Where's the link? Oh, there's a link after that The next one on my list is super kaba So what the heck is super kaba all about well? You follow the character of koguma koguma. I think it's koguma. Sorry if i'm butchering the names She has no parents no friends or really any sort of plan for the future Koguma's daily activities, you know, she goes to school And she comes back Eats goes to bed and it's the same cycle over and over again However, one day she learns that a classmate shares her passion of riding supercubs the little bike motorized bicycle She I think she was riding her bicycle regular a traditional bicycle one day and saw people riding a bike and A motorbike and got the idea to get that she gets a super cub at a discount And starts learning how to ride that thing gets her license and it's really a quiet subtle series about introverted people growing up Finding out more about themselves through their hobbies and passions and meeting new people And that I do appreciate. This is a wild beautiful celebration of teenage years and growing up in A non-conventional way because there's no big explosion. There's no big characters. There's no isekai thing or Otherworldly shenanigans. It's just real people in real life dealing with normal issues and you have the character of koguma learning about life and riding that bike and Maintaining it. She befriends the character of reiko who loves Riding the bikes as well. So she's she gets her first friend and it just blossoms From there. It's beautifully animated there are a lot of gorgeous scenes of just the characters riding their bikes And in complete silence obviously you hear the ambient noise and the music score or whatever there There's no dialogue and there's a lot of scenes like that. So this is a show best enjoyed When you just want to unwind from the stress of daily life and all the craziness in the real world and you want to Escape into something a little bit more Um Beautiful and wholesome I do recommend supercup if you have you have to be patient because there are a lot of scenes where The narrative just slows down completely and you're just enjoying The moment for what it is and what the characters are doing and Traversing the scenery in japan and all that stuff I do recommend it, but yeah, it's a little bit of a slow burn, but it's worth it If you're into that sort of thing Dio you're pumping up supercup on the farm is what let me to watch and I love it. Thank you so much. Yeah, man. I I I can't recommend it enough. It's great. It's not as action packed as other shows, but that's not really the point But it's a wholesome indeed The next one and uh, no, um spoonful of brody, uh, did I miss shaman king? No, I haven't gotten to that yet If you're joining now or if you're watching this at a later time and you're Scrubbing through the video to get to your favorite series Uh, this don't let the slideshow fool you. I I have no control over the slideshow. I apologize Maybe for the next dream. I'll get a hang of it.  I love the manga I'd love the original show when it aired in the early odds Uh, such an emblematic anime for my Age group and my youth watching that stuff on uh tv tunami and all that stuff Was it tunami? I think it was tunami or was it vox kids? I'm not too sure whatever it was I really enjoyed it. So now 2021 we get a reboot um Finally and it's going to adapt the whole thing. I think it's going to be 52 episodes. So we're not going to be done Uh, the show is continuing. So I will be talking more in depth on the next uh seasonal review video But this is a new adaptation of the classic manga. It has all the tropes It has all the quirky characters the the funny humor of the uh ghosts And of course the wonderful yo asakura. I'd love that character. He's one of my favorite shonen protagonists His motivations and drives are so different But yet kind of similar to a lot of shonen leads, but it's the way he presents himself that I really like Obviously the kuki kak kuki cast of characters little tongue-tied there And such a wild imagination from the mangaka to make up all the uh spirits and their attacks and all that stuff You get all the tournaments. Of course, they're fighting to become the shaman king Really, I I really enjoy it. The animation this time however is different This is by bridge studios. They're the ones that did um The fairytale final season did they do the regular fairytale? Yeah, they did fairytale And what was the other show let's see over here that I recognize because there's a lot That I don't recognize here And roji the supernatural investigation detective team Whatever they did that uh adaptation as well. So you're getting quality artwork at times. It kind of dips. I didn't really dig it But uh for the most part it's solid and looks a lot better than the original Anime so I do recommend it. Also, I don't know if you guys know but discotec licensed the original To be released on two blue rays kind of sucks if you do you're doing the dub on one release and the sub and one and another one But that's a topic for another day But yeah, shaman king is super fun and action packed everything you wanted it to be Better than the original anime And I'm looking forward to the rest of it Shaman king holds a special place in my heart such a great series with awesome artwork. Yeah, for sure. They don't at some point the Some of the episodes don't look as great as I would have wanted it to be because I thought they were gonna I don't know it goes into very stocky filler blockish animation It's not as defined But when the big moments arrive you get some really nice artwork and great voice acting by the way um, I find it hilarious that uh, Manta The voice actress is the one that does the voice of meowth Which is hilarious and the other observation is the legendary Legendary, uh, rome park.  That's one of my favorite characters from shaman king Um, I really enjoy, uh, her interactions with yo and all that stuff So, yeah, uh shaman king is great and followed by that is Godzilla singular point. This is coming out in a couple weeks on regular Netflix so Uh This was done by bone studios, right if I remember correctly Yeah, it's a collab between orange and bones Orange does a lot of cgi work They did uh, b-stars um Land of the lustrous dimension w which all have heavy usage of cg animation. I'm not a fan of that However, they're collaborating with bones. Um bones is a legendary studio, you know them from stuff like minor academia from an octopus brotherhood caroline tuesday Now what else? A lot of good good stuff mom psycho 100 blood blood uh, blockade battlefront Anyways, it's a collab the actual 2d animation is done by bones and orange steps in to help with the cgi for the kaiju This is a very cerebral take on the Godzilla mythos and by that I mean It's confusing as hell. I I I will be completely honest with you guys half the time when I'm watching the episodes on Godzilla I don't know what the hell is they're talking about. Um Stuff like quantum Uh psycho and now a analytical thing in the jigs that are happening. They're talking about the singular points and the um the super calculators that are going to do something with the red dust and the um The device I forget the name of it. Um the organizer or something. I'm probably butchering it but um The story is very easy to follow because obviously, uh, these characters are reacting to the emergence of kaiju For the first time But characters like 50 or 60 years in the past also experience this There's this whole element with this mysterious red dust that is invading and it all begins with uh rodin and um the famous bird the famous uh fire turkey Crosses over and it's a very different rodin. It's more like a pterodactyl and there's actual Swarms of rodin. So it's not a singular bird. It's a lot of them I really like that. It's a nice twist. Uh the character Art for Godzilla is not my favorite out of everything that they've done with Godzilla But it's badass enough and also the original score from the movies Is there so when that stuff plays Goosebumps baby, I love that so much. It's just The techno babble Kind of gets in the way of me enjoying the series The there's a point where the characters are being spoon-fed all this crazy metaphysical Talk about parallel universes and and quantum physics and all this craziness um That they just accept it and they're like, oh, yeah, this is that thing. Yeah Yeah, for sure no problem about it because we got to do this and that and everybody's a smart Uh character here and they know all about it. I don't I don't know that aspect I think it wasn't a hundred percent for me but the animation on on this thing is absolutely gorgeous and the cgi work actually blends really freaking well With what bones is doing they found a nice mesh of the two studios Where you don't mind the cgi monsters and when Godzilla shows up and starts wrecking shit all over Japan it looks stunning amazing stuff and really hectic apocalyptic scenarios that happen So just be wary of that. There's a lot of talk also Don't expect to see Godzilla until way later in the show Just a heads up. There's literally episodes of just them discussing theories about how They're trying the producers are trying to Make it Make the show Like they're explaining mathematically and scientifically how these creatures could pop up and exist And it's just a techno battle that I didn't enjoy or like but everything else I really love jet jaguar is amazing and the cutest thing you'll see in this show Same with the robo dog the shiba inu just absolutely cute us out Should I include a thumbs up thing? Is that cool? Yeah, you're the best Thank you so much on men. I do appreciate it So that's Godzilla that's on netflix And before I continue You guys got to give me a quick minute because I am Parched give me give me a minute. Let me get something to drink I'm gonna leave you leave you with this screen right here and we'll be right back so I can Get some fuel on the tank. Give me a second here guys Yeah I need to work on that transition To fade things out, but it's a work in progress.   There's a lot of shows left to talk about so i'm gonna go by a little bit faster on the next one The next one on the list is Zombieland saga revenge. This is the second season of zombieland zombie land saga So if you enjoyed the original from studio mappa, I think it was one of the best shows of 2019 if I remember correctly a beautiful hilarious mash-up of idle manga tropes with The quirkiness of it being horror comedy with zombies essentially This second season continues. I think it's a couple years or maybe a year after uh, the events of the first season and the The girls are split up or the idle group because they failed miserably at this Concert, uh, what was the name of the group uh franchise show? They overcome some technical difficulties and stuff in the first season But in the second one, uh, they bombed pretty bad and uh, they owe a lot of money and a lot The idle group is in a lot of debt So you have a lot of episodes where they just focus on One of the girls as they're doing things in uh saga The saga prefecture and that uh from the beginning the idea of Of course, uh their manager essentially building this Idle group together to save the saga prefecture has been a theme running throughout the first season and the second one as well And it's not until the later half where you finally understand the craziness The bold craziness that is this show the real story behind all the antics of zombie land saga Is phenomenal I I was in awe. I mean, it's hilarious weird and and uh Really, uh funny but the creativeness to You know just make this original story about this prefecture the history of the saga prefecture and how Ancestry comes into play and legacy and you have characters that they're obviously dead They can't they were resurrected as zombies and you actually have an answer as to how they were summoned why and for what purpose and It's phenomenal. It's so much better than season one and even then I mean season one. I really enjoyed This just goes to another Emotional level as you get more dedicated episodes to the girls sakura sake I Uh junco the legendary tai yamata and uh yugidi Or yugidi or however you pronounce that Do not miss zombie land saga revenge. It is phenomenal if watch season one and Enjoy season two because man the things that they're doing on that really impressed me. Also the animation is Gorgeous every episode. I love Studio mama, you know, they're in the spotlight right now with all the Different shows that they're doing especially, you know coming off of the hype of jujutsu kaisen Now they're tackling zombie land saga. They got a punch. They got a couple of series coming up That are really interesting, but yeah, what was the name of the show that they're doing? Aside from attack on titan they did yasuke Uh, they're doing the jujutsu kaisen movie. Oh this one. Um Oh my gosh, how do I pronounce this hay on Sidai There's a there's gotta be a name for this I'm not gonna say the full japanese name It is the blame is Eda 10 deities in the peaceful generation I don't know what the hell that's about But I'd love that animation and I'm gonna check it out Also attack on titan. They're also going to do chainsaw man. So yeah, mop is on a roll Uh, all right, so we got that out of the way. I do recommend watching that We're continuing. We're um The first season of soma spider. So what? soma spider. So what is interesting because it's it's another isekai But with a really cool twist I At the beginning when the whole isekai Boom started to happen and I'm not talking about the 90s because That was different from the isekai that we're watching now When the boom happened I really did not like that every single one of these shows is so dependent on video game mechanics to drive the characters forward I don't I don't really like that. I don't mind the aspect of someone like Reincarnating in a different world or being summoned or transporting or whatever the hell they're doing to get to another world And this new world is more fantasy based. I don't mind that at all. I like that stuff but to have characters like Do magic spells based off of stuff that we play on video games jrpgs and stuff like that It's really distracting I would prefer if these characters just show up in that other world and just do the magic thing without having Having to call out spells and stuff. So with This one so i'm a spider. So what? The nameless protagonist is reincarnated I guess into this spider character and The fans have named her kumoko She doesn't really have a name She's nameless or I believe kumoko means nameless correct me if I'm wrong on that and our yuki she steals a show kumoko is such a wonderful character The references that she pulls out of nowhere are hilarious The characters cute style does not reflect the actions that she takes in the show She's a great great great female lead. I absolutely love that character The main issue I have with this show, however is that When they switch over to the other characters that have been summoned or reincarnated into this world The the human characters I really do not care about any of them. I could care less I just want to follow kumoko's journey and her quirky adventures and all that stuff There's a big revelation towards the Middle point of the season and to where we are with this series Where it kind of changes your perspective of the dynamic of the show I really don't care. I just want to follow the spider And I see a lot of that online and I see a lot of people saying like oh you got to give it a minute The characters, you know, they get better developed and that's all fine and dandy I just really like that you have this introverted girl In her past life and now she's Expressing herself in a very comical fashion and she's over powerful for a spider I find that extremely fascinating and awesome And I want to follow her adventures. I'm tired of the human characters with their Wars and backstabbing and magical things and all that stuff. It's fine. It's okay Uh, also the animation a the character designs are great. They look gorgeous But when they switch to certain fights or when they show certain monsters or kumoko herself, it's all cg Sometimes it looks okay other times. It's super awkward and it kind of looks like a Like a playstation game mixed with a psp report of said game. I I don't know I'm not a huge fan of it. It doesn't really bother me, but I'm not a fan of it But at least kumoko looks good when she's doing her thing The character model of the spider is actually nice to look at I don't know why I just went on this technical rant, but if you have been watching Tyler, thank you for joining Yeah, yeah, thank you so much, man So I do enjoy the character a whole lot. She's great um But it's one of those things where you have multiple people on the show this Great world-building aspect and as you're trying to find out why they've been summoned why they have the technical rpg terms and the skill sets and all the game mechanics There's a reason for that. I I like that Whereas other izakai, they just have the magic skills based off a video game This actually has an answer to that which I thought was pretty clever But yeah, definitely. I do recommend watching that Just for awi yuki's performance as kumoko Last year I talked about wave listen to me this year. It's all about awi and her performance as the spider It is hot notch amazing I mean there are freaking spider-man references There's so much humor in this and the way she presents herself and the jokes that she's Telling herself because a lot of it is in her dialogue But for the most part, it's a solid series.  I love elves There's sort of a weird kink of mine when it comes to fantasy stuff. I love me some uh elvish people girls What no we gone? The next show on my list Is uh, do I say it s s s? Dino Zen Dino Zen on? Or do I go Dino Zen on? Whatever it's part of the uh grid man universe. This is a sequel to s s s grid man In my opinion This is a better show than grid man all the way and I've loved the grid man Um, I'm not going to spoil the twist for grid man because I think you ought to watch it and find out because it's a really awesome twist with this You don't get any of that you get uh, a really simple story of these characters meaning gaoma Who proclaims to be this five thousand year old warrior who's after the eugenesis and these Eugenesis I think I'm saying that word right. I do apologize if I'm not they want to Tame and destroy the world through the uses it's through the usage of kaiju There are a lot of kaiju like monsters. They're more mechanical in nature not like Godzilla type creatures, but still they're kaiju giant monsters And dina zenon is a wonderful robot has multiple forms. It could be a race car. It could be a t-rex. It transforms into this gigantic optimus prime looking monster It's badass.  It's amazing. It's studio trigger. So you're getting top notch character Character models and and interactions and all that stuff and the relationship that forms between the five main characters is really nice and There are some real issues that happen within the craziness that uh, really um I really enjoyed uh, the character of yume is dealing with something that would happen that would happen to anybody And they go about it in a really Honest realistic way of that. Uh, it pertains to a family member of hers Um, and you have the character of yomogi Uh, who is just this average kid who gets thrown into this wild adventure as gamma You know, he's proclaiming crazy things. He's here to stop all the kaiju. He's uh, he's 5000 years old he can he can control the robot and Splits the parts up so that each kid has a part of the robot So they're essentially that robot part pieces guardian if i'm saying that right It's really fun action packs. There are a lot of great animations Here by studio trigger and I if you like that sort of thing but giant robots and monsters I think you're gonna be you're gonna be right at home It's a lot more straightforward and a lot more action packed and Grounded in reality even though there's a lot of craziness. It's a lot more grounded in reality than gridband was gridman's awesome But this is a totally different animal and I think you're gonna be surprised by it I'd liked it. I enjoyed it more than gridman, but It's still great nonetheless Hmm, I like when the cool terms like shonen is a guy. We're not a thing. I'm old Yeah, they're a thing now So next up on the list is uh, one of the titles I dropped This is um, the world ends with you the animation This is based off the square annex game the world. Is it square annex? I think it's square annex The world ends with you I've never played the game. I've always wanted to and I thought you know what? Um, I watched the show I haven't played the game. I'll enjoy the show the animation is amazing. It's stunning the character models How they replicate the feel of the video game and it literally looks like you're playing the game on screen Just a little bit flashier.  I could not Get into it. I was not that emotionally invested and one of my friends suggested I think you should Play the game and ignore the anime and maybe then come back to the show And that's what I plan to do and since I was busy with other real world stuff. I dropped it I only watched the first five episodes and It shows promise and it's interesting But those first couple of scenes and the first two episodes the pacing is Pretty bad in my opinion. I I don't know. So I dropped that and moved on to The next one on my list, which is of course My favorite anime of 2020 and it continues to be my favorite anime of 2021 so far and it is of course dragon quest the adventure of dying I can't speak highly enough of this adaptation this reboot of the manga of the Adition of the manga and this reboot of the original anime It is amazing toway animation. God bless. They're knocking out out of the park They're going non-stop where how many episodes have aired so far? 36 episodes so far and some of the things that happen Are just breathtaking. I'm not going to spoil it But the recent episodes with dies big battle that happens Just blew me away same with episode five if you've been watching It's the height levels and the fun of old school dbc That height that you would get of watching that for the first time and you're watching these characters fight sword and sandals with magic elements the dragon quest lore with the With the drag with the monsters, I should say and the spells and all that stuff It's just so freaking good and die is one of the best protagonists He's so wholesome and nice And a badass when it when it counts. I I'm in love with this show. I don't want it to end I want it to keep going I want it. I want 100 episodes if possible. I really enjoy Dragon quest the adventure of die if you haven't watched it Check it out. It's going to be worth your time. Uh, toi, uh, just Killed it with this the animation on this thing is gorgeous. The characters are great.  All these characters are just wonderful. I love them Leona, especially she's my favorite. Um, just a really good stuff Next up on my list Oh boy the saturday shows Welcome to demon school iruma koon season two. I really enjoyed season one. It was early odds uh shown in esk fun with this what is essentially like what if my hero academia But it's demons In the demon realm in school. It's that kind of dynamic where all the characters have unique personalities Appearances and powers. You have the character of iruma. He's a human. He's now in Uh, essentially the hell I guess, um His parents sold them out because they're douchebags and Uh, his new grandfather is the principal of the school And he just wants to have a grandkid Because his peers have grandkids and he wants to experience that So he ends up excuse me. So he ends up adopting Iruma and the season the first season sort of established that world and the characters you got to meet Asmodeus and clara and all the other classmates and now with season two You get more of that and more exposition on the characters and iruma's evil cycle Which is the highlight if you saw season one They teased it at the end and you were like wait, what is going to happen season two right away? We get that and it's awesome. I really enjoyed it. I like the fact that this new version of iruma is essentially The same character just more confident because iruma. He's super shy.  Also my favorite character is Amity Azazen I probably butchered that. Uh, I'm just a big fan of oh here we go. Uh, Yeah, we got a subscriber and anime just subscribed Thank you so much for joining a week in geek them. Thank you. That is really cool Um I'm just a big fan of saori hayami. She's one of my favorite voice actresses. I'd love her I'd love every role that she does. Uh, I love her voice in the different characters. So Obviously, Amity is going to be my favorite in that show So, yeah, iruma koon season two I love it. Clara is also one of the best characters Uh, I really do recommend that Next up is I've been killing slimes for 300 years and maxed out my level I got to give a shout out to the folks at seven seas because they gave me a Uh review copy a digital copy of volume one of the manga and I made that review Last year I think so I was really excited when it was announced that it was getting an anime adaptation because I really enjoyed that book it's It's an izakai, but it also has parodies of like harem tropes and stuff like that. It's all girls. There's no dudes anywhere, which is great Um, it's a it's a refresher. It's a breath of fresh air when it comes to these sorts of things I'm so used to certain things. So it's nice when you're able to Subvert expectations. So what happens in this series? You have the character of azusa aizawa who again is voiced by aoi yuki She is she dies in the real world from overwork Which is a real thing that unfortunately happens in japan And she is reincarnated as an immortal witch in this high fantasy world And she spends 300 years Enjoying a very relaxing life and at some point she maxes out her level Because she spent all that time just killing slimes for easy xp points and now she's this uber high powered badass and A lot of characters just gravitate towards that you have dragons that can turn into human form you have two slime creatures that Get adopted by her and take human forms and become um her daughters You have an elf girl that makes What is essentially energy sports drinks for people? But with natural herbs and all that stuff and it's just a really funny show that the The hijinks that they get that happen are hilarious The art is really surprised me this was from Revolute I don't know the studio. I know they did the fully coolly alternative and Babylon So they're a brand new studio from 2017 And I think they're doing a really good job with it. It's very faithful to the manga. It looks great And there's a lot of cool moments where like there's high action and really badass moves And they really did a good job because with a comedy series, you know, you can be a little bit Lazy about it and skip some frames because there's not a whole lot of action just people talking and reacting but in this anime They're all over the place. The character art is wonderful. The costumes are fantastic and the funny situations that they can get themselves into is really endearing And a lot of people like to joke that asu says basically creating this harem of all females eventually you get the demon lord Beelzebub Who is one of the fan favorites? She also has a spin-off manga So I do recommend it if you want some lightheartedness and some quirky characters With some really nice Jokes and humor. I think they land pretty well There's some fan-servicing bits here and there, but it all it's all played for the jokes Not for it to be gratuitous. I do recommend watching Killing Slimes for 300 years The next one here on my list is studio wit's latest anime and original series called vb Fluorid eyes song This is a Spectacular series and it is going to be on my list of best anime of 2021 It is essentially a time-traveling story think terminator and ghost in the shell mashup with not With less guns Yeah, you follow an ai named matsumoto who appears before vb who's the world's first Autonomous humanoid ai Matsumoto is on this mission to rewrite history with bb in order to stop the incoming war or the impending war Between ai's and humans a century later So most of the episodes they time skip a lot like Between the first episode and the second one I think it was like 10 years past and then later on like 15 or 5 and stuff like that. So you get different moments in These characters lives as they're trying to stop this war that will happen So there's a lot of twists and turns the animation is Gorgeous there are some really nice Choreographies being used here in fights hand to hand combat actual shootouts And just the overall aesthetic the fact that vv with her long beautiful bluish Aquatone hair yeah, she's gorgeous to look at and There's some really nice frames where with studio width switches between regular anime and like super hyper detailed I suspect this show is going to look amazing on blu-ray Um I do want to get that blu-ray for that fact alone because there are a lot of emphasis on the eyes of these ai's See what I did there It just looks super detailed and if you like that sort of thing with time travel and actioness I think you're you're going to be right at home with vv fluoride eyes song Wonderful series that I highly highly recommend great acting great premise. I love it. It's a wonderful series The next one is the 86 This one surprised the hell out of me I was really hesitant because of the first episode but as soon as I got over that I fell in love with this basically There's two warring nations and the republic of san magnolia Is answering attacks from unmanned drones of the neighboring empire um Empire of giad giad however you say that the legion so the legion there's this spider-like drones and they're attacking so We find out that Our protagonist countries san magnolia They have these drones right combat drones called juggernaut And they're actually piloted. I hope i'm saying the name's right because it gets a little bit confusing I'll get to that in a second. They're piloted by 86ers They are considered by the people of the capital to be less than human and they are very racist towards these characters And discriminatory and they treat the 86ers as tools There are a lot of things that I don't know yet because I I know there's a sequel There are multiple light novels and manga So I don't have all the answers but what I've watched so far. I absolutely love The characters are fantastic and you really get a show talking about things like ptsd racism Just the discrimination that countries can have on their own people and stuff like that The the criticism of military Life and all that stuff really wonderful I enjoy that it's not It's a mech show, but it's not like flying robots Gundam style. You have these spider drones And you have the character of melise. I hope I said that right She is she is assigned to be the like the oracle from dc comics essentially She's coordinating between the 86ers as they are fighting in the field against the enemy legion The people of sang magnolia do not know of this and they're living their best lives drinking and eating and and just Having a wonderful life not knowing that these people are sacrificing themselves to defend that a country that doesn't love them Or value them as humans and that's pretty sad Once you get to learn about the 86ers and their wonderful personalities and all that stuff A really really heartbreaking action packed war show that I Cannot recommend enough. It's getting a sequel. It already got green lit. So I'm looking forward to that sequel as well The animation on that is by A1 pictures You might know them from Shows such as sword art online They did one of the Gundams. I don't know which one but I do know they worked on Gundam Seven deadly sins They worked on fairytale Darling in the Franks Wotokai Wotakoi. Sorry Wotakoi blend s Lots of cool stuff their animation is Quite popular and this is not the exception 86 looks amazing So moving on from that, uh, the next one is Eden's zero. I'm really excited to talk about this Uh, Eden's zero is uh, the latest manga from uh, Hido Mashima You know Hido Mashima, of course from fairytale Rave master and all that stuff and this is his latest manga which takes place in space And a lot of people are going to compare it to fairytale. I get it. I think this is better I watched some fairytale Anime fairytale didn't really dig it that much but Eden zero is another Beast. I really enjoy it. I'm having such a good time with it It's hilarious that this is animated by JC staff You might remember, uh, the way of the house husband and the horrendous job that they did on that That was deliberate. I don't know why they decided to do a motion comic, which is the worst thing you can do But this is so beautifully crafted. A lot of the episodes just have great movie quality to them I really don't understand what happened with house husband But here with Eden zero, uh, you have, um The character of Shiki Who grew up in this, uh, planet with robots and he's the only human there until he meets the character of Rebecca And Rebecca is awesome. I love that. She's essentially a futuristic space youtuber But it's called bcube or bcuber She films her thing on a little cube that she wears as a necklace And she's trying to be a essentially a big time youtuber I can relate to that because I don't have a lot of subs and I'm trying to get a lot more subs So I get to talk to more people. So I totally get you Rebecca I love that character for that and you also get some easter eggs Of course happy is going to be there and the freaking dog from rave master Freaks me out plume plume whatever that it's called. So it's essentially Similar tropes and similar characters but in space But it has a lot more flavor of action and adventure a la one piece Than fairytale even though fairytale was accused of the whole the same thing of being too similar to one piece but I feel this is more in line with the The adventures of one piece of them sailing here. You have Them sailing in space, but shiki's a wonderful, uh, dumb wholesome lead Um, I I like it. It's it's funny. It's great, uh, great animation And just wonderful voice acting especially on uh, rebecca. She's voiced by mi kako komatsu I believe she was the actress that did the voice of Uh, which character was it? Minerva from, uh Rain zero season two. So, yeah She's great in that. I highly recommend uh, eden zero If you get a chance to watch that, uh, it's it's fun. I like Greatly great great fun Spencer, thank you so much. Uh, just woke up to this good start to the day. Nice My boy sequential consequence. Nelson. How you doing man? Hey gla to the stream, but hope you're doing well hanging in there, man Oh, look at that. We got eden zero right there. Nice timing. So yeah, I do recommend eden zero in my opinion rave masters great and um Fairy tale I suspect I like the manga. I do want to eventually collect the manga But so far, I think eden zero is my favorite out of uh, mashima's work Yeah, I said that Next up on the list is Uh, let's see. Let's see. Let's see Oh, let's do uh, don't toy with me miss nagatoro There's this uh trope of Uh comedy where you have like teasing takagi sun uh, don't toy with me miss nagatoro and um Oh my gosh What was it called uzaki? Is it uzaki chan? Uzaki chan wants to hang out. Yeah, where you have These really funny female leads who are tormenting These loser type characters, but There's a lot of teasing involved, but they actually like the boy character, but they want to admit it The boy characters are oblivious dumb and predictable and that's sort of the funniness of it Of seeing how she uh makes fun of the character and how they grow as a potential couple because there's obviously a chemistry there And they actually do like each other, but they're kind of dumb and won't admit it and with uh, this one Miss nagatoro is animated by telecom animation Who worked on tower of god looping the third fuji goes lie looping the third part five Uh, what else did they do? Uh orange A lot a lot of loop on part four the italian adventure Jigan's gravestone senkoku basara What i'm getting at is that miss nagatoto? Looks amazing the animation on that is crisp clean and beautiful to look at Uh hayase nagatoto is a wonderful character. She's so crazy She really likes naoto or her senpai And she's going to tease him torment him and just call him names, but it's so adorable And I find it kind of funny because if the roles were reversed and it was the guy doing those things The reaction would be totally different, but I know the mangaka used to work on some h stuff Doesn't really bother me. This is something completely different. Uh, and quite wholesome indeed Beneath the ecchi huber and fan servicey stuff. There's a lot to like about this series And I do look forward to to watching it Episode after episode and it actually makes me laugh with the jokes and stuff that happened There are a lot of references to video games and pop culture and stuff Uh that I really enjoy there's even jokes about street fighter Final fantasy junji ito. There's a lot to like in uh don't toy with me miss nagatoto So I do recommend that Oh my gosh, okay, we're nearly done guys. Uh next up is tokyo revengers. Let's talk about that So tokyo revengers is starts the character of takamichi hanagaki hanagaki and this is essentially if you've seen Shoot, what was the time traveling one? I forgot the name Blanking on the name of any event in the chat knows Where the character goes back to the 80s to prevent a murder. Oh my gosh. What's the name of that show? As a manga manga is pretty great too Hmm traveling anime I'm googling this real time the hell's name of that show Erased thank you So I just now in a comment. All right erased If you remember erased tokyo revengers is essentially erased but with gangs in 2017 I think it was or 2014 But the actual plot takes place in the present time with takamichi essentially being a deadbeat kid with a Low-income job at a convenience store. I think or was it a library something like that and he finds out that The girl that he dated in middle school hinata Was killed by the ruthless tokyo manji gang An accident happens at a station platform and he gets pushed over into the tracks As he's about to die He realizes that he's been sent back in time 12 years back to middle school And he now has an opportunity to stop prevent the murder of some of his friends and his The love of his life hinata tachibana so he also comes goes back into the present time and is able to time travel I guess Really awesome stuff a lot of people have been digging tokyo revengers Kodansha has the license in the u.s. But they're only doing Digital releases for the manga which sucks because I think they have a huge hit on their hands It's one of the top-selling mangas right now Alongside chainsaw man one piece yada yada So it's really unfortunate that we don't have physical volumes, but at least we can enjoy the anime animation is Not entirely my favorite. It's by linen films Which can be Hot or cold I remember last season they did Cells at work But they also worked on last dungeon boonies and other side picnic All three shows look weirdly different from each other You can't even tell it's the same production company working on the three titles They're also working on farewell my dear kramer, which is based off a popular sports manga about a girl's football soccer team in Japan that I did start watching and was one of the Anime that I dropped simply because I had way too many shows And I wasn't really digging the art style And the show is great. It's it's a serious coming of age story with great wonderful female characters I just really did not like the art style at all and a lot of things I saw coming with the plot It's an underdog team. The protagonist is actually pretty good and they're gonna build this team From the ground up. I've seen that before I I wasn't in the mood for sports at the moment So I dropped it But what I'm getting at linen films are doing tokyo revengers. It's it's decent The manga and art is a lot better, but it's decent It looks good and the action is great and you it's cliffhanger after cliffhanger You want to keep the story going especially on a premise like this So I do recommend watching it and holding out because I know we're going to get those manga releases eventually But the anime for tokyo revengers Pretty good stuff Yeah, a race volume one was hard to get in late 2020 then was available in early 2021. Yep, definitely Sorry Been talking for so long now Jesus my throat Next up is Digimon adventure 2020 we're near it and at an end which is a shame because I've really liked this at this reboot I know a lot of people are upset about it because the pacing is all over the place It's not as good as the original But I like it. Anyways, I'm a huge fan of digimon. I don't mind I like that they took their time to craft something completely different Similar story beats, but the villains are different the Evolutions there are new forms for certain characters in digimon The real villain of the show is different from the original series, which I really Really really freaking appreciated. You probably saw the visual key on the little slideshow Everybody's getting their mega form, which is awesome. I love that so much That's something I've always wanted to see in the traditional digimon timeline and it's happening now I loved it We're near an end because I believe Episode 53 is airing soon Out of 66. So I'm really curious to see how they wrap the series up And if they potentially do a season two or continue the adventure, I hope they do Not all it doesn't have the best animation at times That kind of got sacrificed thankfully because of dragon quest getting the like the a team Uh With their artists and stuff But it's nice and decent enough. I don't mind it. I like it. It's it looks good. I I dug it Uh, next up on my list here is um Combatants will be dispatched. This is from the same mangaka that did, uh, kono suba and Uh, what was the other one that he did that I liked? Um, kimono michi Uh, kono suba and this of course part of uh creative team at Isakai quartet.  Uh, or this world's aqua Grimm grimm's my favorite out of the series. She is She's a sorceress But she's very terrible at her job and her Her, uh spells backfire So she's constantly in a wheelchair unable to move because The hex or a thing that she wanted to do backfired on her So now she can't walk which I thought was actually pretty good to see That kind of representation to see a disabled character In a wheelchair in a series.  Um, just a crazy wacky series. Uh, it's filled with a lot of ecchi humor, but Um, if you're into that sort of thing, obviously agent six and alice they have to earn um evil points By doing evil things that's a plot point So they'll do lettuce things and stuff like that especially agent six to get items From their home base if they earn evil points to further along their Potential conquest of this planet. So yeah, really wacky fun premise with a kooky cast of characters, especially snow Sorry, especially snow And her interactions with Agent six are really nice I enjoyed what I watched not as great as konosuba, but I'll definitely watch the rest. Yeah, it's not I think konosuba's is best work by far kimono michi. I really loved I would put this at the bottom, but it's still fun to to watch and enjoy compared to uh, the other stuff I would rank it konosuba top tier Kimono michi Mid tier right there and combatants at the bottom, but it's still fun It's a funny little series kind of reminded me of the stuff that Funimation would have gotten in the mid mid Odds that's what I want to say the mid odds. I enjoyed In finally, oh, there's another series Let's see if I can highlight it here with the slide show There we go the princes of snow and blood that got canned as well. I I could not stand that show I'll tell you in a little bit Next up on the list the final show on my watch is dragon goes house hunting Dragon goes house hunting is awesome hilarious wholesome fun. It's essentially a world with monsters. It doesn't play with the whole RPG game mechanics. Even though they have skills like that You follow letty a dragon that can't fly can't breathe fire and just got kicked out of his family's lair He's homeless and he wants to get a new house so he finds Diaria the demon lord of this realm and together they go they go house hunting So it's very funny and wholesome lots of funny references to other material in similar similar genres and A lot of world building with the lore and the characters the different species a lot of funny Jokes about that stuff. I really do recommend watching it. It's it's a nice Breath of fresh air and another palette cleanser Like let's make make a mug too That type of show I really enjoy Animation is great. This one's done by Signal md. You might know them from Mars red, which is currently airing. They're going to do platinum end the anime anime adaptation of that Uh, they did yuna and the hot springs uh fully coolly progressive Uh napping princess movie pokemon generations. So they've been around they they've done some cool stuff I do recommend it. Uh, letty is an amazing dragon. I love that character And I was speaking of of the snow princess, right? Need search because I want to read you guys the description for Joran the princess of snow and blood This is a mess All right I dropped the show The show i'm gonna summarize the description here. The show is in 1931 Prince Tokugawa Yoshinobu is 94 years old and holds absolute control over japan remnants of the Meiji era's culture can be seen around the city but scientific technology and japanese as esoteric cosmology are also developing exuding a sense of modernity Yet lurking behind the glitz is kuchinawa a dissident group planning the assassination of the prince and effectively the fall of the regime Tasked to extinguish these dissidents is new a the government secret executioner group Sawa yukimura who works for this organization suffered from an an early age at the hands of the kuchinawa boss Her entire family was murdered and she dedicated her life To avenging their death If you paid attention to that mess that I just read there's like four different Plots happening at the same time and the show has no idea how to tackle them. I dropped it after six episodes um, I Have no time for that did not care. It's a gorgeous looking show Don't get me wrong But the plot is all over the place and it's very inconsistent in my honest opinion. So I dropped it also, um I didn't talk about it. I forgot the other show i'm watching is of course Kio in Kyoto, which I talked about last season.  It's a nice wholesome series um slice of life of uh mako house geisha in training characters and we follow kio nozuki as she's uh house cook for the mako house and her best friend, uh sumire Is wanting to be a uh mako So it's a really wholesome beautiful series and the relationship between the two girls is really great So I do recommend it But maybe watch it after it's done because it's a monthly series You're gonna you're gonna watch the first episode and be wanting more And you're gonna have to wait 30 whole days to watch next installment But yeah, lots of fun there Unit and the hunted hot springs. Yeah, you've been after that for a while. I remember So that Is that We've been at it for a while. Jesus christ. I'm tired Ah, so I said it was 26 different shows and I dropped three of them Uh, I don't know if I want to do maybe I'll do a stream died for summer Stuff I want to watch and maybe talk about that stuff. I I'm not too sure yet I'm making some changes to the channel. Like I said at the beginning of this long ass stream So yeah, that's that A really fun season with a lot of great shows I couldn't watch every single thing but I think at 25 or 26 different shows It's a healthy amount to add to my repertoire of anime But yeah Whole season if I had to pick a top five Definitely would be uh to your eternity odd taxi fruits basket final season Uh Zombieland saga of revenge And the final pick will go to man. It's Because dragon quest I want a dragon quest But let's not put dragon quit. I don't know. Yeah, that's a tough one. Let's see Top five would be to your eternity dragon quest odd taxi fruits basket final season And it's either between Shoot it's either between 86 vv or zombie land I think i'm gonna go with I think i'm gonna go with uh Zombieland even though all the other shows are great. So that's my top five to your eternity fruits basket odd taxi zombie land saga Dragon quest that's the top five of the spring 2021 anime season And that's a wrap folks. I've been uh, it's been fun.

Steve Rhodes, what's going on? Hey, do you get snow flurries up there in the great white north of Tampa? Clearly, you know, on Saturday? No, we didn't. It just sounds like Old Man Winters attacked you a little bit. Oh, it's a little bit cold. Yeah, no, no, I know. I sound a lot worse than I am. That's the bottom line. I'm good, but this is leftover, I guess. That's what it is, you know? Yeah. Boy, was it cold here over the weekend? Oh, listen, we're little babies. When I was listening to you, you're cracking up when you're saying it's 35 degrees. By the way, folks, where Steve is, is always about 10 degrees hotter than where we are, because he's lower in the south. Tampa's here, and Delray's down here. So that was surprising. I know. What a cold front, man. But that's it. It's 70 degrees out now, folks. That's true. Come on down and visit us. Exactly. So let's pick up where we less left off, which was the seasonal perspective for the Dow, which typically tops and bottoms in the month of January. So on average, the top comes in around January 6th, and the bottom comes in around January 30th. So folks, this is an 86-year cycle that we have out here. So we take a look at this year. The Dow actually topped on January 5th. That's when it made its high. And at this stage here, the month is over. We know how the markets are rallying right now. On January 24th. Pretty cool how this cycle has worked out. Now, what we look for, Tom, and everybody that's listening, what we look for is some type of pattern completion near these turn dates. So we don't just use those dates as definitive, and it doesn't have to be on that date. It just needs to be near that date. So we know that we're looking for some type of turn. So the top on January 5th was actually what we referred to as a TD-9 count top. So perfect where we've got this blue arrow. If we look at the bottom, it turned out that it was a buy the deep. It was an A to B equal CD to the downside. It made its move to about the 2.618 level. And how I make a determination of when an A to B equal CD pattern completes is it needs to form some type of reversal candle. So in this case here, the market's moving lower. It needed to generate a bullish reversal candle. It did that last Monday, which was just a wild trading day. And at the end of the day, it generated a bullish hammer candle. So that was a confirmation of a bottom for the January 24th low. Now this past Friday, the Dow actually confirmed a second bottoming signal. And that's what I refer to as the roads mint and indicator bottom. That was confirmed with this bullish and golfing candle out there. Now, both these patterns, folks, the TD-9 count, the roads mint and indicator signal. I teach subscribers there in your archive workshops. So I'll try the newsletter for the next 30 days out there. You'll be able to learn these patterns. So today, it looks like we're going to get it, although I'm not looking at the active market right now, a close above it's what I refer to as the oscillator and change line. A close today above 34, 8, 16 is going to suggest that we should get a further rally. So it really ties into your opening segment of a counter trend move that is inside of the market. So to figure out where the Dow is headed to, what I like to do is then change over and take a look at the futures charts. And that's what the, here we're taking a look at a daily and upper left, a weekly and the upper right, monthly and the lower left and a quarterly and the lower right. So as we take a look at the futures chart and then the daily for the Dow is in the upper left hand corner, the first target, because price is above a bullish structured profile, as long as price remains above 34, 374, price then should go to the upper range, which is the top of that profile, which is up at 38, 054. But before it gets there, Tom, there's this nice little trend line in the swarm. So that becomes the next target to the upside. It's around the 35, 500 level and that is for the Dow. So the next question should be for folks that are looking at the seasonal cycle is are the markets going to rally into the May timeframe or is this time different? And what I believe the answer to that question is this time may very well be different. And the reason is, or one of the reasons is because we have a yearly, an annual TD9 Count Top. And you and I, Tom, we talked about this probably four, five, six, seven weeks ago as we were preparing for 2022. Markets were rallying. I'm sure people were saying, what's this guy talking about?  Because like even, you know, I mean, my take is that's the counter trend bounce, but we all know that, hey, man, if this grabs a lot of strength, it could be something different, but that yearly TD9 is a big deal, man. Yeah. It is a big deal. Yeah. And that's why I say this really could be different. I want folks to remember it was the, this daily TD9 Count Top on January 5th that helped us to identify the top out there. So therefore, I think we could be looking at a significant top, and that's significant top, folks, if it really does take hold, then so far it has. So until it's proven otherwise, it has taken hold, and we could be looking for a move lower for the next two to three years out there. Now, many folks, Tom, this is what I always find is amazing. Many people, not you, but many people, if you take a look at just the national media out there, they think that the move lower that took place last week was because the Fed is talking about raising interest rates. But that conclusion is factually incorrect if we take a look at the last two decades, the last 20 years out here. And here at the bottom of the chart is the Fed discount rate. And if we take a look at the Fed's funds right out here, we can see back in 2003, it began moving higher. If we go and take a look at what the Dow did during that same timeframe, it moved higher. We have an even more recent event than that. And that's 2016, when the Fed began raising interest rates, what happened to the stock market, it also continued to move lower. It also continued to move higher out there. So the Fed raising interest rates, folks, is not going to be the thing that croaks the market. So then what is it? If it's not interest rates that are going to cause a decline, then what is it that's going to cause that move lower? And one possible answer is war, because stock markets, Tom, they do not like war.  And what's nice about that is you and I, we can go back, take a look at stock charts, take a look at price behavior and prove or disprove that theory. If we go back to June 25, 1950, we look at the Korean War, North Korean Army, they crossed the border on June 25, the Dow here continues to move lower. It moves lower until the market senses some type of feeling of positive optimism. In this case here was Task Force Smith, which generated that optimism inside of the U.S. If we go and take a look at Pearl Harbor, soon as we saw the attack, we can see that the Dow continued to move lower, and it was the battle of the Coral Sea, May 7, 1942, that generated that feeling of optimism out here. If we take a look at the Persian Gulf War, we had several instances where there was a sense of a positive outcome, a positive resolution that led to the rebound. It was the final Operation Desert Storm that commenced on January 16, 1991, that put in that bottom. Here's Operation Rocky Freedom, the same type of thing. Here's the Cuban Missile Crisis, the same type of thing out there. So, folks, it's all about optimism, and the key is that when wars or skirmishes begin, it's not until you get that sense of optimism in the U.S. that we see bottom. So, in summary, if you believe the U.S. is likely to be drawn into a war or a skirmish, then use the counter-trend rally that Tom is talking about out here to adjust your portfolio. If you don't think there's any kind of war, then maybe the market moves sire to Maine. I don't think that's the situation. You're going to love it. Great rundown, Steve. Really easy to get his website, his newsletter, folks. Come over to TFNN. You're going to hit newsletters. Mastering probability. Steve, have a great one.  Look forward to the show tomorrow. Thanks, Tom. Thank you. Stay right there, folks. Come right back.


Are you guys ready for a lesson in a logic guys? Hello, today. Today I want to introduce an idea and Mike Wayne He didn't follow me back on Twitter Or even text me, he didn't even know me, but I have to Hi guys, my presentation today is on proximity chat. Proximity chat is when you're in a game and You can voice chat with people near you That right there is a good idea. The closer you get to your opponents, the louder you are. Does that make sense? So I can't click a button and talk to you from across the map, but if you happen to be standing Right there, me and you could communicate Can I help demonstrate sir? Okay, how you doing? What's your name? Hi, Mr. Agent. I'm Malina, nice to meet you. I've never seen you in this class before I'm just a big fan. Okay. Nice. So proximity chat would be if mean we were able to speak now but Now we can't hear each other as loud because we're further apart, but if I set the leap out of the room I Wouldn't be able to hear him at all you guys understand. All right. I found this very funny video I want to share with you class. So let's watch I'm coming back to the day How you going? Did you sort everything out you needed to here for the day sir?  Class, you guys can start talking amongst yourselves. That's a guy to your hour later. I don't know who he is or what he's looking at. He can't see us. Okay, so where would you like to live today sir? Take us to get guy Polaris right but without proximity chat those players would have never been able to communicate with one another Do you see what I'm talking about now proximity chat opens you up to this whole new world of opportunities Not just for content creators, but when you're playing the game itself, you see what I'm saying All right, so let's get into the meat of this presentation our friends my close friends I know these guys since I was like five years old at the University of Melbourne these three professors had nothing better to do Than to study proximity chat. So they put out this study knocking live to be brought anytime I see a study I just skip to the conclusion.  Bane's radar covered that particle and they talked a lot about proximity chat as well because they see it as being the future of gaming What a small Incredibly tiny feature that makes such a gargantuanous difference the first time I played proximity chat was in so calm confrontation Now we're gonna do a visual eyes in session right before we talk about the details of that study Imagine you're in the playground right and once you get into the playground Let's say you're walking around and instead of just walking by people you can't talk to home That's during your squad and turn their mic on let's say they have the mic You could communicate by just walking close to the other individual.  I've never been in a neighborhood where I could not talk to people around me Wow, so not only 18 did they add a neighborhood, but then they took out the ability The ability to talk to the other team in the game So it's like you're in a neighborhood, but you can't talk to nobody I lose my mind a thousand annually because I talk to my neighbors all the time with proximity chat I can't talk to them from across the community, but if they're right beside me, I'd say hi You get what I'm going with this.  You don't even have to use you Let's use it every day example. Let's say that I'm in the park. I load in I'm going to my mic work Chilling right and a guy at the door. He's a user player, but he has proximity chat on and he's like yo You want to play a game on the mic or you guys add each other? Boom, you've just made a friend with proximity check. You see what I'm saying PUBG does this see if thieves does this Friday 13th Does this so calm confrontation back in the day did this? This is not nothing new People been doing proximity chat more and more in recent years, and I don't know any game Where it integrates better than every 2k because you're trying to create that social Translucence like you can really talk to everybody this immersive experience. Do you see what I'm saying Mike? That's why I wanted to talk to you bro. That's why I wanted to talk.  In the article, I took a quote. I'm not stealing they did this that's why I put quotations The chat system created an environment of social transitions.  Do you see the brilliance now? Is it clicking for you guys you walk, you know And it's supposed to be this immersive experience. No, it looks stale.   All right. I'm gonna play 2k So some of you guys need good ideas and I recognize that all right Some of you guys like to see the problem and you know ideas were changed So I got solutions for you guys to see this agent.  What if what if there's a toxic individual and he's trolling you right? It happens. You're on the internet page. Believe it or not, you're not gonna be immune to that shit Have an option to view you Not Ronnie I did an option to mute ladies and gentlemen It makes all the sense in the world if someone's trolling you you can mute them in two seconds and be done with it Okay, so what are the downsides? I'll wait. Can you guys respond to me and tell me the downsides of this idea?   The type of friends I'd be able to make the type of challenges and fun videos The type of enjoyment I'll be able to have in this immersive I'm sorry class. I have an ingratitude and this immersive experience Grab to the channel. That was the last one Shout out to Ronnie 2k. Dude is the giant for in life.  I'm following you you can text me I'll give you my number. I'll just tweet it out actually, but only Mike Wang I only want Mike Wang to be up ladies and gentlemen drop a like subscribe to the channel.  Thank you
