We forced each other to watch the WORST ANIME EVER MADE!!!
01:32:58 Share

I'm your host, Peter.

Today we are going to go over those shows and give our thoughts and air out our frustrations. Joining me today are Miles, Pat, Kat, Preston, and the host of the Anime D-Gents podcast, Tyler. I was thinking about using the wheel to decide who goes first, but then I decided I think whoever needs to vent their frustrations the most to go first. So, is there anybody here with a burning rage in their soul that needs to vent out their show that they watched? Nobody? Not you, Pete. You don't have...

A burning rage? Not a burning rage, but... A burning... All right, fuck it. I'll go first. If we have no volunteers, I will go first. So what we're going to do, we each got... We swam on a wheel. Terrible, terrible, terrible shows. And the one that I got was called Roku-Bo. Yes. The lolly basketball show. You guys like games, right? Yes. Okay. So I'm going to play a fun game with you guys.

I want you to guess whether there was more shower scenes or more basketball scenes in this show. Oh, Lord. This is an easy one. Yeah, that's showers. I'm going to go basketball just because I feel like this might be a trick question. And I have faith in Rokubo being a girl's basketball anime.

Why? I'm just going to go with showers because you can shower before and after a game if you so desired, right? Or like you can shower after practice in the morning. Then when you got home before bed or opportunities to shower, I'll say. Even at halftime. So, you know, even during the two minute media timeout that these girls certainly had. I mean, the bench can do it. You know what I mean?

I really hope it's basketball. It was a trick question. There were more basketball scenes, but were there more shower scenes or more basketball games played?

shower scenes probably shower scenes now now that you've already played it it's probably mostly practice that's correct so uh the main character of these shows are elementary girl students um there were six shower scenes in this show there was also three locker room changing scenes in the show uh to add up to a total of nine scenes that should not be seen by anybody living um i

I think there's a very strong correlation of people who enjoy this show and people whose names are on the Epstein Island list. This show was absolutely abysmal, but I don't want to hate on this show all the time because I do think it has some redeeming qualities to it.

And that redeeming quality is there's one, there's a one redeeming quality. Actually there's two. So the first one is, um, the friend group in the show is actually pretty good. Like I legit had a lot of fun when they weren't, um, butt ass naked or changing their clothes. Um,

It was while, while there is some weird ass scenes in this show, the actual like basketball scenes in the show were actually kind of fun. Um, I think everybody has seen the gifts of this show of like them passing the ball. I was like, Oh my God. Uh, is it going to be all of this, the entire show? And that's like literally all in the first episode. It wasn't as bad as the,

as I thought it was going to be in terms of like animation and things like that. But it was abysmal. Like their hands look like tentacles and not hands. So like when one girl passes instead of like pushing forward, they like cross. And I'm not sure how that works when passing a basketball, but they make it work.

They also do it in the scene where it's of a like a layup, like a behind the back layup or something like that. She just tosses it backwards and then her arms do an X and she makes a shot. Yeah, this show was made for.

four pedophiles by pedophiles i'm going to assume like is that the other redeeming quality pete no sorry so the redeeming qualities were the girl group was really fun and the actual basketball elements of the show were were fun so there was like a scene where like they play the other the other team plays like a two three zone and then they counter it by playing like a one three one which is like a legit strategy against a two three zone it's like oh

they're actually playing basketball. And then they have like a scene where, um, like they double team the tall girl. And so they play four shooters from the three point line. I'm like, that's like a real thing. Like, okay, there's some actual basketball strategy going into this show. So, uh, I gotta give credit where credit's due. There's two things that has the show going for it. Um, outside of that, it was like a, a rotting pile of trash. Like,

The dialogue was super bad. All the characters were super tropey. And the first episode, so the whole point of this is like they're trying to play, they're trying to get like a basketball team going and they're all kind of novices. And one of the teachers' nephew is like this high school prodigy.

And his team shuts down, so then they do this Mighty Ducks thing where it's like, well, you're not playing basketball anymore. Why don't you come coach these ragtag team of girls to play basketball? And you're like, oh, all these girls are supposed to be, like, really bad. One of them is, like, LeBron James, actually. She's, like, insane at basketball. Like...

She never really shows it because in her previous school, she got bullied for being too good at basketball. That makes sense. Yeah. So when she's on this team, she wants to have fun with her friends so she doesn't showcase her talents. And she's like LeBron James if she was a second grade girl. So to entice him to join when he visits the school, they dress up as maids.

And, you know, they do the welcome home master thing that they always do. Yeah. So this is in the first four bits of the show. This is where I dropped it the first time. Things progress, as you would expect in these types of shows with different elements like that. So we have our infamous beach episode because one of the girls can't swim because

which is very important to the game of basketball. So of course we had to enter in the beach episode. Then they end up playing another team in their swimsuits because, you know, that's what you do when you play basketball, you play in your beach wear. So a lot of like questionable scenes in this show. This show was terrible. So like the main character,

was played by Kana Hanazawa, and she sounds exactly like the Tuturu girl from Steins Gate. They aired roughly the same time. I think this was practice, or she just literally copied her character from Steins Gate and put it into a lolly basketball show. Pat mentioned this in the Discord. The eyes, they are three-fourths of their head.

It was jarring. There's some scenes where it's like not as bad, but it's very inconsistent with their eye size. So sometimes it's only half their head, which looks looks bad, but not as bad as when it's like three fourths. And then you can park a Tahoe between their eyes. So a lot of like questionable animation choices along with the tentacle arms that they had. I give the show a one.

I think it's on par with something like a Remo where it was clearly made to showcase little girls in really weird situations. It does make me really want like a drama basketball show. There was a girl in this show that had like a height sensitivity. And I think that would be something interesting to like showcase and like a basketball show.

Um, especially with, uh, if your cast was female, like different aspects to it where people have like insecurities with themselves, but then utilizing it to play something like a sport. I think that'd be really cool. And I think there was something actually here that you could make a basketball show about like beginners learning how to play basketball. However, that was not what they were trying to do at all. Um, I think whoever created this should be arrested. I think anybody who enjoys this show should be arrested, um,

And I really hope that nobody else has to watch this show because it was a pedophile's dream. And I think that's all I had to say about Rokubo. So, I don't know. Do you guys have any interest in watching this so I can shoot you on sight? No. Fuck no. Nah, not at all. Miles, you're muted. That's my bad. So I've been doing some research.

To see, you know, because sometimes... In private, incognito mode, I hope? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I have to mute myself. I was, you know, sometimes adaptations aren't faithful to the source material. And I saw the cover of the first Ryokubo light novel, which is what this is adapted from. A light novel, wow. Yes, and I thought to myself...

Maybe not. And then I saw the cover of the second Rokobo line novel, and I thought to myself, oh, okay, that's how we got here. This author seems to have a thing, as you have mentioned.

So they have gothic Lolita, both the clothing style and the small girl ping pong. That's another one of their series. They have a series called Pocket Aces, which is about a lolly who plays poker and all of everything they've ever made.

Every single show. I hate his life hearing this. You're making this up. This isn't real. No, this is super real. The Gothic Lolita thing is a real thing. I've seen the manga. Oh, no. Yeah. The person who illustrates the guy's light novel's name is Tinkle. Yep. Hilarious. Um...

There are multiple video games of Ryokubo. It got multiple visual novels that were published on the PSP. You should read them, Miles. You love visual novels. That's what I say. Especially ones with little girls. Especially Rokubo. You have one in your background, actually. Visual novel? Yeah, visual novel little girl character. Oh, I do. Right here.

Though it is from the anime. Nice save. Good save. And this is the most important difference. Rika never plays basketball. You should, though. She would be bawling. Preston, you had a question? No, I had a comment. I can't believe Pete didn't see the genius intricacies of having them learn how to swim. They're teaching her the swim move to tape the box out. Yeah, so...

There are some things in this show that don't make any sense. With that, the tall girl who has the insecurity to trick her, they put her at small forward. That way she doesn't feel tall. But then she plays center anyway. They also get invited to a training camp.

And then when they get invited to a camp, they play like another team that's there from the camp. And then the team refuses to play the team that invited them to this camp because they don't have 10 players. So they invited to a camp to not play because they don't have 10 players. I don't know why they were invited in the first place. If they knew that they didn't have 10 players. And that's like a whole, that's like the drama of the last arc, uh,

There's just some questionable storyline plots that don't make a lot of sense, including the swimming aspect, because there's no real reason for it to be there other than to put them in swimsuits. And yeah. Yeah. Oh, it's...

I have to say something real quick. I said that there was nine questionable scenes. There's actually 10. I forgot there was another scene with them in the swimsuits where they change in front of him and they're like cool with it. So there's actually 10 questionable scenes. So yeah, this is like, I would say it's a bottom three anime of all time for me. I think it is what it's, what it's portraying and what it's trying to doing is criminal. And which one is the top one?

The tall one, her name is Ari. They just all look so small, so I guess I was just... Yeah. Okay. Do they even shoot threes? Okay. I figured with their little tentacle arms that they wouldn't be able to get the ball to the rim. Well, surely the goal is lower, too. You know, that's what they do in Little League as well. It did seem like it, because they have...

I'm not going to dive too much into it, but it didn't seem like that was the case. They played on courts that didn't have three-point lines. I don't think they were really trying too hard to be accurate to the game of basketball, in a sense, but...

Yeah, just not good. It just blows my mind that this is like elementary school kids. I didn't know that that was the case. I thought they was like middle school, high school, and they just look like that. But that's just saying that people would write elementary school kids like this. You know what I mean? I'm just going to... I don't know, man. For me...

For me, you know, and obviously this is like a contentious topic or whatever, but like, it does not matter how old they are if they look like this. Thank you, Miles. Thank you. Because like, I don't know, like maybe the mental gymnastics I do of watching some show where you see some high school girl's bra or whatever is like she looks like she's 30 or whatever in the anime, but like

this is just i mean the basketball is one third their size it's the size of their head yeah like it's the same type of thing where i look at lucky start i'm like why would anybody make like smut of this you don't lie i don't actually because they're nasty um

Yeah, one of the running bits is they always call the main character, like, a lollicon pervert, but, like, every character in the show looks the same. So, like, I don't understand, like, how he's the lollicon when, like, literally they have the thing where one of the characters is the teacher and she's 23 and she's smaller than some of the basketball players. You can tell this lady's older because of her outfit.

Sure. Can you now? I don't know. That's how I guessed who it was going to be. You would be black. She does have a sweet car though. Can she see over the steering wheel? Yeah. Probably not. Oh my God. There's a seat. So she's driving them to the camp at the end and her appendix explodes and

And then the coach for the other team is upset that their coach isn't there. And they explained to her that her appendix exploded and she's at the hospital. And then she's still just like, well, I really wish we would have known that ahead of time. And it's like, are you kidding me? We were driving. Are you sure? Are you sure it doesn't deserve a two for that scene?

That sounds pretty funny. It was so dumb, dude. There was so many scenes. The only way I would give it more than a one is just like legit. I think their friend group was fun when they weren't being sexualized. Like they were actually like really fun. Just, I like like slice of life sports stuff. And it was, they had that element to it, but it just gets ruined within like the next four minutes of some other scene that they implement. So I've rambled on off the show as a one. Yeah.

um never watch it if you do watch it you're getting put on a list who wants to go next uh i can i can hop in next i just wanted to say though pete too thank you for stepping up and taking this show off the wheel before i went because this was pretty much the one show that i would have watched it but i would have been very tempted to decline it and back out like a baby but like

I am so thankful that you took this one off of the wheel before I got it. It'll be on the wheel next year, though. I'm putting it on the wheel next year. I'm putting it back on next year. Here's the thing. We need to... We can talk about this after. We need a metagame. How? When you get to do it? Because I also want to nominate it. Therefore, I cannot watch it.

we'll figure it out he needs to nominate it then it sounds like uh but yeah uh i'll go next uh so i got assigned uh a show about hockey and you would think knowing me big hockey guy that i would love it you look like a hockey player from in the place where the what's the minnesota team

The Wild? Oh, yeah. I look like that Russian guy on the Minnesota Wild. For about a year, I was confused about why you had a gif of yourself. Yeah, no, it was not me. I did not play professional hockey. At least not yet. You never know. Never say never.

yeah band goalie or whatever i've got the the flow going right now too the lettuce everything so this just screams a hockey enemy right you would think that that would be a slam dunk hit for me not if you have to watch poo literal poo or pride of orange for non-cultured people that show was so so bad i cannot begin to describe basically the show's premise is that

These random middle school girls that are love lives, shiny, whatever characters that they decide they want to play hockey. And then they go and play hockey at their local ice stadium, as they called it. It's an ice rink, by the way. The coach says, sure, you guys can play. They play. And then the coach says, you're on the team. By the way, when you guys win, we do a victory dance or victory performance. And then they...

They do an idle performance on the ice, not in skates either, by the way. Like you would think that that would be a connection that would be made. But no, I cannot begin to describe my disdain for this show. I guess the only caveat that I would have is that it's not offensive or offensive.

too creepy towards the women involved in the show in the way that Pete's was where, where it's a literal fetish show, right? Like it's not meant to be what Pete show is meant to be. It's meant to be an idol anime disguised as a hockey anime, but except also they only do the idol thing like twice in the show at the start and the finish and

Like the performances and they reference it multiple times that, oh God, we have to do it. And the players don't even want to do it either. But the coach is just insistent on it. Apparently I, I don't know this show. I think Pete, you watched, you watched all of this show. Yes. I don't know if anyone else here has. And I guess what I would say is that I do think that this show is

Was objectively bad as well. There are certain scenes. One of them I put in the discord, which you should join, by the way, we talk a lot of anime in there. Thanks, Pat. There's a specific frame in the final episode of the show, by the way, and one of the culminating scenes of the show where the

The goalie is standing there and they're all standing there and their fishbowls, their visors on their helmets are all blocked out with like a white light or whatever, like lazy animation, whatever you want to say, or cheaper animation, whatever. The goalie who has a cage on like a regular mask is sitting there and their face is just not there. They don't have a face. It's ridiculous. Like I cannot fathom

Like this show being and that's just one of many animation weird moments. There's a lot of CG in them skating. The way they skate looks like they're running or sprinting rather than gliding or actually like skating on the ice, even though they do try to act like they're training for it and they're showing it progress, whatever. They talk a lot about how hockey is a team game.

which it is, but then they still do the thing where they basically turned it into like basketball where it's like, okay, it's a team thing, but one player can score all the goals, you know, which once or twice may happen in a game, but that doesn't happen throughout a season. You know, it's just not how it works. They also play as five, even though there's 10 people on the team, they play as those are both six. There's the, including the goalie, the six of them play all game, which is,

For a goalie, it's normal, but hockey shifts on average are like 20 to 30 seconds because it's just so exhausting and you got to keep moving. You got to sprint, rest, sprint, rest, sprint, rest. They don't do that in this show. They just play the entire games and they kind of like – I don't even remember if they try to justify it beyond like the first time it happens. No, they don't. Yeah, there you go. I am – this show was like so offensive to me in the least –

offensive way possible, if that makes sense. Like it's everything I hate about sports anime, idle anime shows that are clearly made to sell a mobile game, which this is by the, I forgot to mention that this game is literally a mobile game or the show is really a mobile game. That was, it's like a gotcha basically from my understanding, I cannot see myself wanting to watch this ever again or consume this in any way ever again because

I am very, very sad. Very sad. Like that this is the one hockey anime that exists because hot and I'm praying that that manga by the baby, the by the guy that does go and Kamui come sooner than later. Holy moly. Will that be a fun time? Is it? All right. That's good to know. You know, I really like a few sports. I like soccer. I like hockey.

And I like golf and we're like, I guess there's good soccer anime out there. Not, not that I would really want to watch those, but the golf and hockey anime that have existed are really, really not very good. And so we're, we're kind of swinging and missing a lot on this in my, in my vein of interests, like sports anime and stuff. If you're a big fan of it, I feel like you criticize it more too. So it, like, since you're a big fan of hockey, obviously like,

You're going to be more harsh on it because you're going to know what's going on and stuff. So it's going to be even worse. So why cater to that audience, you know, if, if you're not going to do it right. I agree with that. Yeah, that's a good point too. And I only commented on a few of the things that were weird about the hockey in it, the show, and I will give it credit. It does show them practicing and on ice a lot. It also does this thing where, um,

you know how shows will get lazy or be broke, whatever you want to say sometimes. And they'll, instead of actually showing like montages where they're working on stuff, it'll be like a screenshot or. Oh, the blue lock treatment. Yeah. Yeah. Essentially, essentially that that's what happened. I think every episode it had to have happened at least twice, like once before the ad break and once after I, I swear it happened frequently. So, um, I, it's just sad. Um,

Sad that this is the hockey anime that exists. But yeah, exactly. The hockey stuff aside, though, too, this show is not very good. The characters are boring and one dimensional. Some of them are even just repeat versions of each other. It's like the most vanilla gotcha BS you'll ever see. It really is that bad.

I remember watching it and it wasn't, it never really like committed to either being an idol show or a hockey show. Cause I think you mentioned, I think there's only like two performances in the entire show. So like the whole set is for them. It realistically was like the coach was trying to get them to be like idols. And then they didn't really showcase that. And then the hockey games themselves were like mediocre at best.

And so, like, it never really, like, picked the lane, which I think was worse. I really wish they just, like, committed to at least one of them. And then that way we can at least have some expectations. But, like, when you're waiting for, like, the episode to be over for, you know, the idol performance, it just never happened until... I think it was, like, episode one in, like, a flashback. And then I think, like, towards one of the last couple episodes of the season. It's the last...

of the show is the idol performance. Like, it's that...

And like you said, it is like a flash forward initially to, oh, by the way, when these random middle schoolers are suddenly playing in the equivalent of the World Junior Classic with Japan, who, by the way, never makes it there because they're not good enough. They make it to the World Junior Classic and are facing Canada in, well, what's referred to as the World Cup of Hockey, but it's clear that it's like an under 18. Oh, ew. No, wait, you were just there. Never mind. That's okay.

Boo. Boo. No, just kidding. I'm not. We're not like that. We're not like that. He's like that. France. You are definitely like that. Only in sports, though. You know, like, I don't know. Rivalries are fun. Anyways. Yeah, this it sucked that that aspect of the show is so dumb. It's it's so like preposterous. Like, can you imagine picking up soccer as like a freshman in high school, let's say, and

Like that's the anime premise. And then it flashes forward in the first 30 seconds to you then in the world cup final, like taking a penalty kick against Brazil for, I don't know, let's say the U S Virgin islands, like not even the U S making it to the world cup final, the U S Virgin islands making it to the world cup final. Like how, like it's, it's the most preposterous thing. It's hard to suspend your disbelief. And I get it. You're supposed to, cause it's an idol show, but man,

Uh, so I guess, uh, I'll wrap up too. Cause I feel like I'm rambling. Um, got one question for you. Oh, I'm ready. Yes, please. Okay. This is important. What's worse this or season one of Uma Musume? Ooh, that's a good question. I mean, while, while he's been talking about it, like it kind of reminds me of Uma Musume in a way because they do idle stuff too, but they don't really focus on a lot, even though they try to or whatever. So, um,

But it sounds like Uma Musume at least done the horse racing more correctly. Season 2 did it a lot better than Season 1. I think Uma Musume saves itself at least the tiniest bit with some horse puns and stuff. Yeah, like there's some humor in there and they eat carrots for lunch or whatever. Yeah.

Yeah, I guess. Oh, yeah, it's the lore of Uma Musume really keeps coming back. Or like the horseshoes where they do that. That sort of thing, I guess. I think I gave them both the same score of a three. My enjoyment level of both of them is pretty low, not to mention the production side of things.

I like this show though. I will give it some credit. It did not like, like vehemently insult me. What like, uh, happy sugar life or, or emo, as you mentioned earlier, like shows like that, that are just disgusting fetishes that are, you know, meant to excite people that need help. So I, you know, like I, I, this show was not that, which good for it, I guess, you know, like congratulations. Uh, yeah.

I cannot, if anyone has any other questions, I'm happy to answer them. And this show stunk. It was, it was not, not for me, not my cup of tea at all. And I'm sad now that hockey has been blasphemized like this in the eyes of Japan.

So there's auto performances and stuff. Was the songs any count or like, did they just already shit? There's one performance. There's one real performance and it's kind of just mid. Like, I don't know. It doesn't, again, they're, they're performing at the center ice, not with a carpet put down. It's just the six of them to the other teammates fuck off for whatever reason. And then they, they're wearing like special, like love live outfits, whatever you want to call them.

but they're not on skates. So they're just walking around, moving around, shifting around on the ice, which I guess like when you're a hockey player or whatever, you know how to walk on ice all the time, but like performing on ice would be really, really hard to do. It's so ridiculous. And the song was so not memorable at all. I, I don't remember it. I can't even remember like how it starts or anything. It was,

It was not very good. Pete, I'm glad you're reaffirming that because maybe it was good. I'm not that into idle stuff either, though, so maybe it was an all-time performance. Who knows? I will never know. It's not memorable. Honestly, the best thing about the show is their team name is called the Dream Monkeys, which goes hard as fuck. That is pretty fun. That's a sick team name. And the other one that they face, their main opponent, are Snow White.

For whatever reason, there's no other part to that name. It's just Snow White. And I guess it's implied that they're from Hokkaido up north or something like that. That would make sense. It does make sense. More hockey up there, I would guess. Oh, yeah. They just randomly go to Okinawa for a summer training camp and go to the beach and they play volleyball, beach volleyball. And that's supposed to help them train for hockey explosiveness. It helps you with basketball if I learned anything from Rokubo.

Apparently it helped you with hockey as well. You know, the explosiveness that you develop on skates, which are, you know, you dig into the ground very firmly and explode and move forward and use momentum and

Basically the same thing as like planting on sand, right? Like there's totally no physical differences there at all. I don't know. I get that they were trying to do like a teamwork arc thing, but these girls are also just automatically best friends from the second they meet. So it's like there's no...

Which, of course, some of them already were friends. So I... It's like such a low-effort attempt to hide an idle anime into a sports anime. And it's so frustrating. All right, I need to stop talking about this. Kat, please. What did you watch again, Kat, my friend? I watched Pigsakai, but the actual name is Budareba. The story of a man who turned into a pig. Well...

So, let me start off with, I hated the first three episodes. But, honestly, after the first three episodes, it started to turn a corner. Like, what the fuck, Miles?

It started to turn a corner a little bit because it doesn't really set up its social conundrums well in the first three episodes, but it does introduce the idea of yesmas who are kind of like the serfdom of the world and they end up having to... They basically get sold off into servitude and

for the first 16 years of their life and then after they turn 16 they have to go and take this great journey to the royal castle where they're supposed to do something. It's not really known what they're supposed to do but they have a collar around their neck that is full of magic that people are trying to hunt them for. Budareva is the name of the show.

They're trying to hunt them for because it has a bunch of magic in it. So they have to behead them so that they can retrieve the magic and sell it or harvest it. There's also some interesting technology in it where they have M1 Grands and they have some... It genuinely does do a bit of discrimination and it reminds me of some of the... Oh, sorry.

It reminds me of some of the stories about slave hunters when researching history, especially when I was learning about some of the...

flowers when it comes to trying to get slaves to run over to the docks and get on boats and things like that. It's fairly interesting because I didn't think that a pig would teach me so much about discrimination. Alright, I'm going to stop lying to you. This fucking show sucked. This fucking show sucked ass. You had me worried there for a minute, not going to lie. I can't

I can't. Okay, so what I said about the yesmas was true, but all of the discrimination is half fucking baked. Jesus Christ, this show does not understand discrimination. It doesn't, like, ugh, like. So what's the basis around the discrimination in the show?

The basis around the discrimination is that there's a bunch of white... Well, sorry. There's a bunch of chicks who have collars around their necks that are sold into servitude. And a bunch of people go and try and cut off their heads so that they can harvest their bones and their collars. Spoiler is because they have magic in their bones. But, like, it's like...

When we see it, there's like, oh, it's supposed to be super ominous and there's supposed to be a bunch of danger. It's not much danger in it. You're going on a fucking trip with a pig that you want to fuck. Like, that's not a whole, like, moral conundrum. It's not like...

And the thing is, the show fucking sometimes acts high and mighty about how it's, like, trying to be super anti-discriminatory, and this is the world that we come from. Like, there's also laws against... Like, there's also laws in some of the cities that are prohibiting, like, sexual assault and travel for these people, which is, like...

Like, that's... That's literally them saying, yeah, these people are protected as long as they're in cities, but they have to go to this giant tower. Why do you have to go to this giant tower? Also...

The thing is, this chick wants to fuck the pig. This chick wants to fuck the pig from the first episode, and they want to fuck the pig the entire way through. There's no subtlety in it. The pig wants to fuck her too. Don't get me wrong. This pig is horny as fuck. This pig...

So, alright. So, the pig sees the girl and he's like, oh my god, this chick's so hot. Also, the girl can read the pig's mind. And then it gets to a point where the pig can think in his subconscious so he doesn't have to think where she can hear, which is fucking wild and it isn't explained. It's fucking stupid. Anyway, so she...

So she hears him going like, Mmm, baby. Mmm, baby, I would love to see you naked. It would make me oink. And then, like, she just starts playing with him. And it's so...

Oh, God, it drives me insane. It goes through... That happens the entire... That happens the entire show. Also, the pig calls... The pig calls her... Sorry. Excuse me. Flip that. She calls him brother for, like, four episodes. And then stops because...

There's another yes ma in the in their group that is and it's making them feel like subconscious like like this make them feel like a little embarrassed about them about her being able to hear them.

It's so stupid. Also, like, the other Yesma, like, there's a whole, uh, a whole, like, uh, what's it called? Like, not allegory, but, like, there's a whole example about how, like, yes, the other Yesma has bigger boobs than you do, but you're, like, she's, like, a, uh, she's like a sunflower, and you're like the, uh, the...

the daisies underneath the sunflowers you're still beautiful there are people who still uh who still prefer you over the sunflowers which is basically like hey i know i'm demeaning you but you know i have to look down at you and that's okay that's because i'm looking for you rather than the sunflowers who will automatically look at when i see them oh my god this show fucking sucks

I have two questions for you, Kat, if you don't mind. Okay. First off, are you aware that this is done by Studio Project No. 9, who also does some other anime that we've watched here in Rokubo? They do a lot of shit. If you want to look at their...

Look at their anime list and sort it by score, and you'll just see. It's like, okay, wow, they did... What was that goddamn show? The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten. That one's fine, right? And then the superhero and supervillain... Love After World Domination. Thank you. They did that show, too. People liked that one. And then after that, it's everything else is like...

incest disgusting gross weird all sorts of shows like that and i guess tomozaki yeah no they have tomozaki coon it is big ppsp like to call him yes sir they did high school prodigies have it easy in another world this this ad this this studio is the opposite of goaded yeah yeah they are they're pretty awful aren't they uh you're going to like getting garbage shows

Yeah. Someone's got to do them, except they don't, you know, they really don't have to, but they do. That check clears my man.

They need the money, Pat. What was your second question? My second question was going to be, so you discussed how this show doesn't, well, at first you were praising, I thought, but I guess that was part of the bit. That was a bit and a half. So this show does discrimination. I want you to tell me what show handles discrimination and stories of racism better. 86 or Pig Sakai?

Holy sh... Okay. So, here's the thing. Simple question. Burning trash versus... Pretty good. Burning recycling. It is not a simple question because you have not watched Pixakai. No, you're right. Well, I can only imagine, based off of everything you've said, that there's one correct answer here, and I would love to hear it. Don't make me play devil's advocate here. I will absolutely say the show that you don't want me to say. So, here's the thing.

This show tries to be, like, tries to do, like, slavery, or at least servitude, while 86 also tries to do that, but it's also, like, really, it's different. I would honestly say that 86 does it worse than

Okay, Kat. Okay, Kat. Next question. I believe it. I believe it. My turn. My turn for a question. What's up? And this is the most important question. Did they kiss or have sex, Kat? Miles needs to know because he needs to watch this show. So they do kiss. They do. Oh, my God. But they do not have sex.

Okay. You're safe, Miles. You're safe. You're safe. Okay, honestly, I'm impressed they kissed. I have some questions about the pig. One, can he speak? Yes. Well, no, he cannot speak to normal people. But through his mage girlfriend, he can. His mage girlfriend. Okay, does the pig...

Have a potential harem? Or is it just one love interest? It is just one love interest. He does look at others, but every time he does that, his mage girlfriend starts crying and is like...

And it's like, you can look at them if you want, and then he's like doing bullshit. Yeah. I need you to clarify. Other pigs or human girls? Human girls. Definitely not pigs. This is going to be the latest question. Does his pigness ever slowly seep into his consciousness as he loses what it means to be human?

Absolutely not. This is not that deep. Fucking cowards. What do you expect from a show about the story of a man who turned into a pig? I want him to fuck a pig. I have a question if nobody else does.

sure what's up the voice actor who plays the pig has played a lot of very prominent fantasy lead roles of the three that i listed can you name his best role the pig from this show uh kirito from sword art online or um bell from is it wrong to pick up girls in a dungeon is it wrong to pick up girls in the dungeon that's his best role that's the best role all right what's his second best role

really over Kirito I haven't seen it but that's impressive like I hate that I'm saying it as well part of it is just because I want to make Pat mad but like that's not here or there the thing is

That's funny he has some shitters when he's my favorite voice actor. That's tough. The thing is... The character voice acting is pretty good, honestly. Yeah, he's a good voice actor. Have you watched Pixakai yet? Maybe the pig has good voice acting, I don't know. No, Pat, you dance Freeman in Disney. Which I hate!

Of course I didn't. I bitch watched it today. The guy is Pedo Goose in ReZero as well. This guy is a legend. He's Futuro in that harem that Miles likes. He's Yuki Hirasama. He's everything. Holy shit. This guy is really good. And he's also this pig guy apparently. He's the main character in Aramanga Sensei.

You know? Can't all be winners. No. He can't. He's also Thorin, no game, no life. He does at least, okay, that's three incest shows. No game, no life. Yes. Sword Art Online and Aramaka Sensei. Yeah. One of those is actually incest. The big three, baby. One of those is, well. One of them is not incest, I should say. Sorry. Yes. Well, it's his cousin.

It is his cousin. They're first cousins. If we're going by blood relation, only one of them is incest. Correct. Cousins are blood related to you.

Yes. That's what I'm saying. Oh yeah, Aeromagus Sensei is less incestuous than Sword of Alarm. Aren't they half brother and sister? Or no? No, they're step. Oh, okay. Cool. And you know what they say, that erases all of the issues. Yeah. Any more questions before I have my last underlining thing about this goddamn show?

I think you could take it away. Okay, cool. So, you know how, like, your hockey anime pet had, like, some of those, like, slideshow things? After episode 9, it was just a slideshow. Like, there were just points in the show where it looks like...

Like, they had, like, the background, and then they had the chick there, and then they had just... It looks like they just put a sticker on top of the background and just had that there. It was that bad. There were also parts of the show where, like, the pig is supposed to be walking, and the pig is, like...

The pig is not synced at all with the background or with the sounds of the pig walking either. Like, it is awful. It is genuinely terrible. And this show brought me almost no joy. The one part that brought me joy was when the fucking dickhead noticed

Was about to die. I thought he was going to die and it brought me a modicum of joy and then he escaped. So it took, it gave me joy and then took it away. Like the damn, like the damn cuck this show is. What was your rating? This show is a, it's a one. Oh, okay.

oh my god another one another i remember i remember when this show come out um i'm pretty sure there was like a little bit of excitement like a buzz about it um about what direction it was gonna go and stuff i think i watched like half of the first episode before like saying no i didn't even put that shit on my mouth i was just like no i don't want people to know i watched half an episode so

I did that with Pride of Orange. I also did that with Pride of Orange before now it's on my mouth forever. What's great about this show is that this show airing single-handedly made the manga stop making the manga. Really? It ended in 2024. It ended in 2024. And I think they were supposed to have more stuff that came out from it.

wasn't it originally a light novel? so is the light novel still going? yeah, I think the light novel is still going well, you can't always beat the same thing cause manga adaptations don't always go for the whole run the light novel somehow won an award what? love to see it it got second place in the Denkai Novel Award it won a million yen

Nice. It says gold place on my notes here. Yeah, gold place is second. Grand prize is first. Also, at the end of the anime, the pig goes back to the world because he didn't actually fully get reincarnated. He wasn't fully a pig.

So his actual physical body was in the real world and was just comatose because, oh yeah, I forgot to tell you, the reason why he got reincarnated is because he ate raw pig liver. I forgot about that stupid plot point. Yeah. He ate raw pig liver and then just fucking died. Then didn't die. Went back to his old world.

wrote a novel about the story, then met other people that got reincarnated as a pig, or reincarnated into the other world, and then they sent him back. Why them all agreeing to eat pig liver together? Oh my god. You mentioning that stuff, it's kind of similar to Zenshu, weirdly. Yeah, but Zenshu's good.

Yeah, but, like, she ate a rainbow clam and is most likely comatose in a movie world. You know, sometimes we have to make shit for good things to come out of it. This just happens to be the shit. Who Tarima watched so Zenshu could run? He lived life as a pig for, like, however long and then woke up and immediately ate pig? Yep. No. No.

No, that's not what Kat said. Oh, I thought he said that... He said he wrote a novel, met more, and then he ate pig liver to go back. It's like that meme of, like, you know, let's take ibuprofen together, but the ibuprofen is raw pig liver. That's what's up. All right. I think I've had enough pig liver for today. I have too. Good. I'm glad.

Who wants to go next? Was it Preston, I think, right? Yep, I'm going next with another gacha game adaptation show. Spoiler alert, the show's terrible. The show I got was Senjushi, also known as The Thousand Noble Musketeers in English. This show centers around a group of musketeers whose souls come from ancient guns throughout history...

And they fight the evil world empire who has taken away the freedom of the citizens. Some of the ancient souls that have been reincarnated are like a rifle that Napoleon owned. And now he believes he is Napoleon. Just very dumb. The show's really bad.

They have some good voice actors in it, but it really feels like they half-assed it most of the time. OP's good. I like the OP. But other than that, this show has no redeeming quality, really, at all. I'm usually lenient with bad animation. This show's animation was trash the whole way through. The CGI was awful.

The action was never interesting because it was basically slideshows of them moving the characters and then them just shooting their guns. And then the best parts of the show really were just slice of life. And even then, that was bad. They chased around kittens for half an episode. That seems random.

Oh, trust me. It was, but that was the best episode of the show. What was the point in that? Was they trying to kill them for chance or just catch them? No, no. So the musketeers, they're like broken up into groups and one group had to go to a town and do odd jobs to like create a bond with that town so they could get help to fight the empire. Um,

and their odd jobs were being a waiter. Somebody had to do shipment loading. One was a mailman. And then they just randomly all decided to face a litter of kittens that these two kids owned for the rest of the episode after they finished their work. I have a very, a very important question. What is it cat? Did you watch, uh, Senjushi, uh,

He juicy touchy no happy birthday. No, that was not part of the assignment. I saw that earlier today and I was like, I'm not watching this. They can't make me. I'm surprised. So it seems like they went just based off the names I'm reading on Mal.

They started with guns, named after guns, like Springfield, the Browning, assuming it's Browning. Yeah, Brown Best is the Browning. But, like, then there's Iyasu, which, that's just a... That's the Tokugawa Iyasu, you know, like, and... So, yeah, their names are also off of who owned them. So, like, Brown Best was...

highly manufactured, so there's a lot of them. While Napoleon owned a specific gun and that gun became Napoleon and then he had two pistols that became twin pistols.

Two guns. Does Iyasu own a blunderbuss or something? Because that's a weapon they would have had back then. It would have been like a musket, essentially. I'm not a gunhead at all. I can't tell these guns apart to save my life.

But, yes, Yasu owned one of them. And then there's, like, there's Yukimura. He's named after, I think, a place in Japan. And then, yeah. But...

I have no clue whatsoever. I'm just trying to understand it because it's like, you know, if they committed to it, like like as Elaine, right? They're all named after ships, warships, right? Like so I would have thought that this was just like gone as Elaine, but I guess it's not because and I was surprised when I was looking at the character list that there was no like Colt. There was no Remington, you know, two of the major characters.

most influential gun manufacturers in the world and in the history of guns as well. So,

They didn't want to get sued, but they, but they use Springfield and they use, I guess Brown and you could get away with it. And I guess Springfield you can too, but like, that's like one of the most major ones too. So like, that's why I was just surprised. It'd be like having Mount Rushmore be like your guideline for the show. And then having like Abe Lincoln and Roosevelt, but not having Jefferson and Washington like in the show as well. You know, like, like it would make, it's just weird. Yeah.

Not that I'm surprised. The show has a 4.91. Don't expect too much. Yeah. By rating, I got the worst show this year. Yep. Does it feel like it? No. Roku Boo is almost certainly worse. That's the worst. Pig's Pekai is almost certainly worse. Pride of Orange is probably better. And I'm terrified of Bakugan. So I don't know.

The crazy thing is... Detective R.A. Pet is the best show, though, by far. Broke You, B.U. is a 6.75. It's been our highest show tonight. Just letting y'all know. Yes, it is. It is the highest show. Well, that's because, like, legitimately the only person who would watch that knows what they're getting into. Yeah, true. Like...

I was literally got a 2000 people rated this a 10, bro. It's insane. Okay. Um, yeah, just want to mention one last thing about this terrible show. So they, the guns reincarnate into basically human, like they're humans, but they have supernatural powers with, while holding their guns called absolute nobility. Um,

And so it basically allows all these single-fire shotguns to just shoot infinitely without ever having to reload, which is something they showed in the first two episodes and then never showed again. And then the ultimate power of it is they can spawn dozens of guns in the air to shoot with, and it's basically unlimited gun work.

The show makes no sense. And like they all serve this one master, which is just like a callback to the gotcha game where the master is the one who pulls all of them. Oh my God. It's so bad. It's it's, it sounds so awful. Uh, and the, the not needing to reload thing, I guess that would make, yeah. Yasu's gun actually relevant. Cause like meanwhile, Browning, uh,

most known for that massive machine gun that won world war one and parts of world war two no no no it was a rifle pat it wasn't it yeah it was a rifle he used a rifle like oh why does the show exist i don't want to talk about it anymore all right i'm done i'm done thinking about this show it's too much question what was your rating on this one

I put it on a four on Mal and Annalise, but I'm thinking I should probably drop it to a three. Terrible show. Don't watch it. Kat did a good job picking a garbage show for somebody to watch. Binding it, even.

Yep. I wish I got a Hollywood Day touchdown. You were so close, too. You were so close. It was this close, I remember. Yeah, so close. And then he didn't even three-peat either. Fuck you, Kat. Yeah, that was dirty. That still hurts. That one hurt. That still hurt. All right, Tyler, you're up. Lost by 40. Well, I got a show called Bakkion.

Not sure who nominated it. I don't know how many of y'all have watched it. It was Miles. I didn't nominate it. I don't believe. It was the spirit of Jeep Dave. Oh, yeah. For the wheel? It was you, Miles. Was it? Okay. Yeah. I was going to do it because I wanted to avoid it at all costs. Oh, okay. That's, yeah.

I've watched it. Yeah. So are you the only one who watched it? Yeah, man. For sure. No one's voluntarily watched this. I had to do an exact exercise last year. Trent also watched it, but Trent is not here today. I got you. Trent was forced by Chief Dave during Secret Santa. Yeah. That was even worse. Yeah, the fact that he was like, oh, but you should like this show. It's funny. He laughed about the rape scene and said it was the best part.

Which one? Checkmate. Let's try again. Let Tyler talk. Yeah, like, come on. Tyler, what do you like? What was your favorite scene from this? I don't think. Oh, so I do have a favorite scene, actually. There's some positives, I guess.

Uh, like the, the little bike club skit and like the last episode nine or 10 or something like that, that they did on the stage when they was trying to recruit people to join their club. Uh, they wasn't able to, uh, bring their box on the stage because, uh,

Can't have boxers at school, right? And they started doing like a little skit with handlebars and singing that little song. It was pretty fun. Like I'll give it to them. That was probably my favorite moment of the episode or show. Real quick. Can you do like a synopsis of like what the show is about? Oh yeah. So basically this is about a bunch of high school girls. They learn to ride box and,

motorcycles, scooters, whatever you want to classify them as. And then they basically join a bike club and,

the rest of the time is spent just riding the box and talking about box and trying to recruit people to that cult that is pretty much it that's the entire premise of this it's not a gang it's a cult yeah they even meet like other like biker gangs and stuff but it's not the same so I'm just gonna tell you um

Obviously, this show is bad. But outside of like... So the biggest issue I had with this show was literally episode four and five. That was the worst episode in the show. Now, if I was watching this on my own, I wouldn't have made it that far. Just saying. But if I did, I definitely wouldn't have made it past episode four. I think that the rest of the show, outside of the few, like...

I don't know, questionable, you know, anime doing anime shit scenes. Like this show was like, it was okay. You know, like it wasn't nothing to write home about. It was okay. But episode four and five and those few things is what kills the show. I just like the only good thing about this is I just want to say my other good thing, uh, the voice actors, it was actually really good. Um, like, and like the, some of the characters was pretty fun. Um,

like the little uh the group that they had going on it was a pretty fun dynamic uh but they had like three really prolific uh voice actors that like like aqua voice actor for aqua voice actor for like yui uh mio and my my happy marriage like it was really good voice actors and they've done a really good job but outside of that the show wasn't good um episode four and five like i said

You literally had these girls stripping naked. They was jumping in the water together. We had the teacher get drunk, try to force the kids to drink alcohol. Then once they didn't, one of them passed out and she started trying to grope her, I guess you could say, after she stripped her naked, by the way. And then the friends was like, hey, that's only allowed for other friends.

Not for people, other people, just friends. And so then she starts chasing them around and starts trying to take their clothes off. And then she ends up just licking their feet. That's awful. What the fuck? Yeah, so this was all in episode four. That's the craziest part. It's all one episode. This was one episode? Yes. And then after all this...

The girls end up blackmailing her. It's a woman teacher. The girls end up blackmailing her into becoming their advisor for the bike club. And they explain it that when she gets drunk, it makes her like girls a lot. That was her reasoning behind acting like that. Is this an all-girls school, by the way? No, but you don't really see a whole lot of guys. Like I said, it's mostly a lot of girls.

May I ask a question? Yeah. Who was your favorite character and why was it God?

Yeah. Jesus is in this. That is important. Jesus is in this. He has a halo. He has a halo. I see his picture on Mal. It's pretty funny. I got to say like, what, what is, how relevant is he? Is he like frequent or? So he helps the main girl, Hanay. She is the one that like, it kind of centers around the most. I mean, it centers around all these girls, but centers around her the most because she's the one that starts

Started riding the bike. She learned how to ride a bike and all that stuff. And she meets him going down the road one day because all the other girls left her behind. And it was cold outside and she ran out of gas. And so he helped her get to the gas station. Or no, he ran out of gas and she was about to run out of gas and they split the gas or something. And they got to the gas station. I think he appears like three more times like chance encounters.

And the last encounter was at the end where they was at a book, a book magazine store or something. And he was buying a porno magazine, a bike porno magazine. And she questioned him about buying it and was looking at the pictures and she was making comments about how these girls are naked and why is he buying this? And you could see their,

there are nether regions and stuff. And then he was like, but what if box didn't exist? And then she just, it's a dream or something. So I don't know. I have some quick questions. Yeah. So you had mentioned that after episodes four and five, it gets a little better. I wouldn't say it gets better. I'm just saying without those two,

Okay, okay. I would ask about the scene in the episode where, you know, the black-haired girl whose name I can't remember, Onsa, gets that Suzuki disease and attempts to have sex with a Suzuki bike in her room. You didn't find that one questionable? That episode wasn't questionable to you? Well, so, not as much as four and five. Fair enough. Because...

In 5, they manually wash their bikes with their bodies in bathing suits. And this includes two main parts being soaked up and rubbing it on the bike. Yes, they do the car wash scene thing. Really? Yeah, to raise money.

Yeah. It wasn't, was it to raise money? It was, I thought it was for the bike club. Was it just for fun? Yeah, it was to clean their box and they, it was because it was because washing their box manually was so tiring. So they decided to do this. And then the second girl joined in because one of the other girls said, you don't love your bike unless you do it like her. And so she started doing it too. Um, so, uh,

To answer Miles' question, I did say outside of 4 and 5 and the questionable anime doing anime shit scenes, and that would qualify as one of those scenes. But that is like a super stupid thing that happened later on because it doesn't even make sense. Yeah.

And like then she, one of them got branded by a Suzuki hood ornament because her dad done a stoppie on the motorcycle and she like flew no telling how many hundreds of feet probably just into a random car that was sitting there and the hood ornament was burning hot. And now she's branded on her ass cheeks S.

And we find that out in the episode four when they got naked and jumped into the water. So it was a whole backstory. So there was a lot of things going on in this. But like I said, I think the, I think the, the girls was fun outside of the things happening. It was, it was a, I wouldn't say decent show, but it was,

It wasn't horrible. It's not the worst thing I've ever seen, but it's the worst thing I've ever completed. Just to clarify that. Outside of the sexual misconduct, it was an okay show. Yeah, I say if episodes 4 and 5 didn't exist, and I think even if episodes 4 and 5 didn't exist, I think the rest of it, you could look over some of it, you know, probably, and just be like, oh, well...

you know, it's just anime doing anime shit, but I probably wouldn't have still watched it because it was outside of the girls interacting with each other and like just, uh, stupidity and of the show.

Like, it just wasn't for me. I'm not a big bike person. I feel like, just like Pat, you know, watched his hockey thing. If you was a big fan of bikes, you would absolutely hate this show. I guarantee it. Because the things that they do in this show isn't legit. My understanding is it is. But I don't know. So, so...

In the first couple episodes, Hanay, the main character, she is at the training thing trying to get her bike license. And they tell her that the most important thing about getting your bike license is if you're able to pick the bike up or not, if it falls.

Not if you can drive it in a straight line or keep it up. It's just if you can pick it up. That's the passing and failing line, I'm pretty sure, is if you can pick it up. And it's insane. And then we got the box talking as well. One of the bikes has a soul and it talks and it's just very horny for men. It randomly talks about how

It feels good when men's crotches are on their, on its body. I don't know. I don't even know how to talk about it. So it was interesting. Um, I'll say that much. Uh, uh, there's also like some kind of half-ass bondage gear too. Um, that's what it's, uh, being portrayed as, but it's, it's like they, they have it as a training, uh, harness, uh,

I think, but it's literally just like them trying to make a sexual reference. So, but, uh, anybody got any questions? I still don't know what your rating is. Yeah. I'm curious. Probably like a two to three. Okay. I gave it a two.

Yeah, it's like I said, if you didn't have four and five, it could probably be a six, honestly. Like it was pretty decent. Like I said, the voice actors was pretty decent too, but it just had four and five ruined it. And it just had like questionable themes throughout too. But four and five was definitely, if you're going to watch it, try to watch them very fast. So yeah,

All right, Miles, you are the last one. You are up. Take it away, sir. Yeah, so I got The Detective is Already Dead. And the best part about this show was that it was fine. This show is bad, but unlike it seems sort of like everyone else, the show is bad in a very fun way.

Like they let whoever wrote this cook like way too much. And it is like so filled with bizarre anime plot points and stuff that just don't make any sense and are not ever foreshadowed or whatever that,

or even if they are foreshadowed, they're just like, it's just crazy. Like, so you follow a guy named Kimi, who used to be the assistant for Siesta, who's the great detective. Siesta is a great character and she is in fact already dead. Though 90% of the show is a flashback. So the fact that she is dead is more or less immaterial to the show. So you flash backwards and forwards between the,

the past where he's working for Siesta in the future, where he is now working for Nagisa, who inherited Siesta's heart and some sort of organ donor program and is kind of part Siesta. In the past, they're going after a bad guy whose name is Hell. It's a very original name. And in the future, they're trying to solve problems

some things i guess i don't know just saw she's like about nagisa has like some issues with with not being a good detective even though she is the detective but she is like a different person none of it makes a ton of sense siesta and kimi have a fun dynamic the it's also sort of like a mild harem um kimi is surrounded by women and

who are like also detectives slash supernatural people that he helps in some way, uh, that are all interested in him, but he clearly only has one love interest who is Siesta and maybe Nagisa. I'm not sure how that's going to go. Um, you find out later spoilers for the show, by the way, that, uh, Nagisa's body is from hell. So like hell was the bad guy and they kill, uh,

her, but then she gets Siesta's heart and makes this new person. It's pretty contrived. Overall, though, I had a relatively pleasant time because it was just so off the walls and sort of crazy.

It was sort of fun trying to guess what they would do and everything. And the main two characters had good banter. But I guess the part where this becomes like a bad show is that if you were like really trying to follow what would happen or like the writing, it would make no sense. It's like horribly contrived. Do we have any questions about the detective already being dead?

I remember watching this when it aired and being like extremely confused through two episodes. And so does it sound, it sounds like it just, is it continue like that throughout the series? Yeah. Yeah. Like it, it's so like the first episode of this is actually pretty fucking sick. Um,

It mostly takes place on a plane. Yeah. Yeah. And it like sets up all of, all of these like scenarios and everything. And it like ends with, but it's a shame because the detective's already dead. And you're like, oh, like, okay. So we introduced a really cool character, but she's dead. Like, how's our main guy going to continue? And then it immediately goes to the past. That's like six episodes.

She's like very alive, which is bizarre. I was really confused by that when I was. Yeah. And so like you do figure out that it's just in the past, but like a lot of the show is baiting her dying. Like, is this the scene where she died? Is this the scene where she died? And then it's just, of course it happens to like the single last episode or something. Well, you know what I mean? Like they don't show her dying until like the very end. They just, but they like do a fake out death of her.

I mean, unironically, maybe like five or six times throughout the previous episodes, which is very dumb. You know, like maybe once you can get me, but like, come on now. You know, so it's confusing. Pat, what's up? Doesn't sound like you hated it. No, no, I for sure didn't. Think about this is like if...

And this is like, this is me, like, take this from coming from me. This is sort of like, if Rascal doesn't dream of Bunny Girl Senpai was like fucking ass. Oh, okay. I was getting ready for something like, all right. Yeah. So like, hell you say fuck me for it, you know? So it's like vaguely supernatural. Like there's some stuff going on. It's like more actiony than that, but you have the main guy, you have his main character.

female sidekick, well, he's the sidekick, but his main companion, they sort of have that relationship where they're snarky towards each other, and then there are these side girls who are

interested in him but like clearly not on the level of amai um and so he's not interested in them but he like will help them out and they will like join the group in a similar way of like bunny girl senpai or monogatari or any of these things that that have that general dynamic and uh

What makes this one bad is that the characters are less likable and the plot makes no sense. And it's not even like a bunny girl Senpai thing where I'm like, Oh, the plot makes no sense. If I apply, you know, physics, the way that they're saying it works, you know, like the author wasn't good in their metaphors. It's the plot just doesn't make a lot of sense at all from like a very cursory reading, you know, it's just not there at all. Um,

You know, where I have an issue with Bunny Girl where I think it like lacks depth where it tries to add this. This lacks a surface, which makes it a little difficult, but it still has some of those fun characters and interactions and stuff. It's like a, you know, it's like if you put all the parts of that show there in the pile and you can tell the parts are good, but they're just not assembled correctly.

So Miles, this show was announced almost three years ago that it was getting a second season and we still don't have a date for it. Would you be interested in continue watching the show? Who? Yeah. So this is a tough one for me. I think.

I might, um, because there's enough of like, oh my God, this, this silly thing is like, you can sort of see not through like good foreshadowing, but just through like, I don't know, color schemes and shit that like the bad guy is our main girl. And that's going to be like a thing. And so, um,

Like, she used to be the bad guy or whatever. Anyways, it's like, there's a lot of like, ooh, but you didn't see this coming twisted like you did because they're the same person or whatever. And like, I think there's a lot of good of that. There's some bad episodes that are like boring slice of life sort of thing. Like, you think about that Steins Gate episode where he went on a date, but like without any of the work to make the characters...

so you don't care. Like, the characters exist entirely as banter as opposed to having any sort of depth. They are the Marvel one-liners of characters. Interesting. Which can be fun, but it's also, like, it's purely... I didn't retain anything, right? Like, I just...

watched it and it entered my brain and left it. That's sort of how it went. I don't know. Has anyone seen this? I dropped it after two episodes. Okay. I also watched, I think, one and a half and I was like, I didn't really drop it, but I was like, I'm not going to watch this right now. I think it was when it was airing and I might not watch it even still. So...

It just don't seem like it holds my interest, so. Yeah, I don't, especially if you watch, like, two episodes and it wasn't doing it, because, like, by far and away, the best episode is episode one. I saw that, uh, I saw that people were watching it, and then I was like, oh, yeah, I'll watch it, just to be in the conversation. Never did it, because I was, uh, 2019, I was doing stuff. No one missed out.

I was told it was bad, so I just never watched it. That was probably from Pete. Yeah, that was correct. I clicked on the spoilers, though, and it actually looks kind of interesting to see where it might be going. No, no. See, like, don't let it trick you. Okay. Because the points in time, right? Like, what spoiler did you click on? If you go on Mal and you click Siesta and you click Race...

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. So that, one, we know that pretty early on. Two, none of that matters. Okay. Like, it does matter. Like, there's a big thing about the corporation that, like, makes the android-y parts and stuff and, like, trying to gather. But, like, none of it matters. It's, you know, that's technically what the plot is about, but it doesn't matter. It's, um...

It's been four years and I only watched two episodes, so I don't really remember anything outside of the plane. So seeing that raised my interest a little bit, but I'll take your word for it. Yeah, it's like, if you were to take a loaf of bread, right? The show is a loaf of bread. I love bread. And you were to cut out a single point and look at it, you might be like,

This looks like it could be pretty interesting. But then you look at the whole loaf of bread and it's not a solid loaf. It's all like there's some ham in there and it just doesn't make any... Not in a sandwich way, in the way that the bread is ham instead of bread. It just doesn't know what it's trying to do or how to piece it together or anything. But there are individual plot points that are fun. It's just the interconnectivity of them are...

okay yeah um i don't know i gave this a six um because i i had an okay time watching it and i thought some episodes were fun and some episodes were boring and it didn't make much sense and that averaged out to a to a six out of ten gotcha okay well that sounds good anybody have anything that they forgot that they want to get off their chest before we wrap up absolutely so you know how like i

Yeah, of course. So you know how, like, in Bakugan, they were doing the things with the bikes and, like, they were having to ride it and do... Or not ride it, but, like, sit on it and be in promiscuous positions? There was a part in Pigs Akai where, like...

What's-Her-Face, the main chick, was riding on the pig. And it's part of an episode that is literally called Be Careful How You Ride a Pig. Yeah, so...

It just talks about how the spine is just tickling her and how it feels really weird. And she makes promiscuous noises. Like that's a whole thing. I, I, I hated that episode that, that like, I didn't realize I was going to get a piece of Baku on out of my, uh, out of my pig show. So like, I feel like this makes the show even worse and I can't lower the score anymore. Hmm.

I also think we should mention that the pig character that we're talking about is actually a pig. I don't know if we ever made that clear because we were talking about like a man character and calling him a pig. And sometimes I was just the listeners that don't know what pig's guy was. It is an actual pig. Yeah. He's a pig in, he's a pig in personality and a pig in like physicality. So he oinks basically literally. Yeah.

That reminds me of the intermission screens when you said that of Bakuyan. Literally, the intermission screens was just them in very sexual poses on the box and very few clothing. So that was nice. Not by the way. Not by the way. I completely forgot to mention earlier that

The musketeers with all their single fire shot rifles fought fully automatic rifles the whole show, and they somehow won every fight without any of them dying. Because, yeah. The way you were describing it didn't even seem like there was any fighting in general.

There's nothing to talk about because the animation is so bad. But even with the show being as bad as it was, I'm so happy that Miles told me to go last so I didn't end up with Bakugan and I want to thank him again for that because he saved me.

we found out later that the math might not have mattered but regardless it did matter in reality it saved me still I almost want to say I'd rather watch Baku than whatever you watch or Roku view I'd rather watch Baku than all of them same I don't know episodes 4 and 5 of Baku sound horrific it was bad boring and bad anybody else

All right. Sounds good. We will be wrapping it up. I want to say thank you to everybody who joined. Uh, hopefully next year we actually have somebody to win. Uh, this is two years straight of every single person losing. Uh, it can't happen a third time. Right. So, uh, I would like to, I would like to see if somebody actually wins next. It'd be fun. Um, and hopefully next year we'll have the winner. I don't know. Gloat instead of watching the show or something like that. Um,
