Tribute to Icons: Kevin Conroy & Jason David Frank
00:01:03
Speaker
One, two, three, it's time for animation deliberation. A conversation and a celebration of our favorite action animated series. Yeah.
00:01:16
Speaker
Just had to get that out of my system. It's been a couple of weeks. Greetings and salutations, animation deliberation listeners. It's your boy, Jay Scottie. I apologize for not being able to be on the podcast live. I know it's been a couple of weeks. Let's just say that I am currently locked in a battle with the eternity devil. I can't seem to escape the eighth floor of this cheap and seedy motel.
00:01:41
Speaker
but definitely wanted to chime in a little bit. I won't, again, steal my co-host Thunder, but just had to spout off about a few things. I know Andrew and Zuhar mentioned it, but I have to say my piece on, you know, Rest in Peace, Kevin Conroy, it's been a couple of weeks now, but such a significant loss.
00:02:03
Speaker
to the animation, you know, action animation community and a legendary voice actor will definitely, definitely be missed, but appreciate his valuable, valuable contributions to the legacy of Batman. He is the voice of Batman for me as he is for so many other people. Also, unrelated to animation, but just, you know,
00:02:26
Speaker
in a time of losses, I myself, you know, a big part of my morning routine was watching the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. And the Green Ranger was always my favorite before it became the popular thing. The Green Ranger was always my favorite. So with the passing of Jason David Frank, definitely want to make a mention to him and thoughts and condolences to his family.
Anime Highlights: Spy Family & Chainsaw Man
00:02:53
Speaker
Okay, in the realm of animation, I don't want to do any spoilers or anything like that, so I will just say Spy Family continues to impress. The introduction of a new character, a new supporting character bodes really well for me. I think this character will be an interesting foil.
00:03:14
Speaker
for Yor, who is one of my favorite characters, so if she can get a little bit more to do, I'm always on board and just, yeah, continue to be really delighted with the way that show's progressing. Chainsaw Man, wow, that's gonna be a tough one not to go into spoilers about, but I really like the rhythm of the show so far. It's like,
00:03:34
Speaker
We have these little vignettes where we get to see the devil hunters kind of embrace the normal, as normal as it gets around here, side of life. But, you know, just being able to kind of cut loose and have a reprieve from this intense, intense life that they have and then to go from that to the sheer insanity that we witnessed at the end of the last episode. I don't know the finality of a lot of these fates because
00:04:02
Speaker
So much happened, I don't see how the show could go on if some of these stick. But it's definitely got me on the edge of my seat. And finally, My Hero Academia, it's intense. It is intense and the show is firing on all cylinders. The animation, the music, the voice acting, the story. It's just...
00:04:24
Speaker
It's got me gasping again. Nobody feels safe, especially at the end of the last episode. I cannot wait to tune in for the next edition there. But I was actually talking to someone who kind of said they fell off after the second season. I was like, how is that even possible? And then
00:04:45
Speaker
if there was ever a better time to return and catch up it's now like binge those few seasons you missed in between and get on board because now is the time to really see where the series is going it's really up the ante and I really like I like the progression I like the stakes it's uh
00:05:05
Speaker
feels like the show is matriculating in a way much like it should, like our heroes are. So again, to make those Harry Potter comparisons, they're there. I will throw it back to Andrew and Zuhair. Thank you for keeping the ship going, keeping the ship steady, keeping the ship on course in my absence, and hopefully it's not too long before I can return in person. And thanks as always for tuning in.
Opioid Overdose Risks: A PSA
00:05:32
Speaker
That's TOO, and I in.
00:05:35
Speaker
When you hear about opioid overdoses, you probably don't realize half of the nation's overdoses happen in the exact same spot. It's happening right at home. Georgians are accidentally dying in their own homes because people don't understand the dangers of taking an oxy or perk for sleep, stress, or with a glass of alcohol. Learn how to protect your family from opioid overdose at opioidresponse.info. This message is brought to you by Georgia DBHDD.

Speaker
And sing along if you know the words. One, two, three, it's time for animation deliberation. A conversation and a celebration of a favorite action animated series. Yeah. Yeah. Welcome back to another episode of the animation deliberation podcast where we take action and animation. Excuse me. Where we take action. Oh my God.
00:07:15
Speaker
Are you missing cartoons? Is that the word that you're tripping yourself up on? Or what's happening there? Yeah. Well, ladies and gentlemen. I'd like to take action, animation, and cartoons seriously, but not too seriously. We took a week off. It was Thanksgiving. We're still full from all the food that we ate. We're keeping this raw because we are genuine with you and because we don't want to give our boy J. Scottie too much extra to edit. He's busy devil hunting right now. I'm Zuhara Lee.
00:07:45
Speaker
And I am Andrew Rogers. And we welcome you guys back. We hope you guys didn't miss us too much because clearly you haven't missed too much.
DC Animation & Future Integrations
00:07:55
Speaker
The show hasn't gotten better at the very least. You've just gotten a goofy energy. Just a loonier of anything.
00:08:03
Speaker
I wish all of you could have seen the minute that Zuhair like fumbled over his words. I thought he fell out of his chair. He just disappeared from you, like disappointed in himself and then popped back up out of nowhere to say action animation. I was in the process of like about to just like bang my head into my desk but then my keyboard was right there and then I didn't want to accidentally cut something off so I like froze anime style with my nose like perfectly over the keyboard trying not to press anything. Yes, I love that for you.
00:08:33
Speaker
Yeah, so whether you were having a big old turkey with big family, whether you're at a five day wedding or whether you're enjoying quiet time on your own, happy Thanksgiving. Welcome back, everybody. It's December. It's dark. It's cold. But we have fantastic shows to talk about with you this week. Yeah, and it's going to be a loaded one because we have two episodes of everything after skipping a week. So
00:09:02
Speaker
You didn't want to say stuffed one, stuffing. Oh, that's such a good. I'm having a hard time thinking about the Thanksgiving food because I'm still eating leftovers at this point. So it's just like been nonstop for the past week. I'm done. I'm ready to be out of the turkey coma. Now we had we had Indian food at all five days of the way. So the wedding festivities started on Tuesday night. I missed Tuesday because I had to work and it was in Richmond.
00:09:29
Speaker
and then Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and technically Sunday, because I didn't get to bed till about 5.30 a.m., was just festivities. No turkey for zoo, but lots of good times.
00:09:43
Speaker
I don't know if you can complain because Indian sounds really good right now and I might just get Indian for dinner. That is like... I just kind of want some... I might just go down to Wawa and get like one of the turkey bowls over mashed potatoes and gravy. They got a little stuffing on the side. So good. I like that we're just switching. Like, okay, you can do the Thanksgiving now. I mean, hey, you can always... I mean, now you're like a west coaster and you can find fancy foreign food. Oh my god, if all... You should have come back, but... But no, you come out here... You're stuck in your alleyways.
00:10:12
Speaker
Whoa, LA. Hi. Well, we talked about how happy we were to talk to you guys. We got a couple of feedback emails in. Why don't you hit us off with Andre Sparks. All right. So Andre Sparks hit us with an email. Hey, guys. I finally went ahead and watched it. I got it. Yeah, I just watched it. I know what the it is. Is it in the subject? The subject line. I have this point. I've read this email.
00:10:43
Speaker
That was the Green Lantern bit, right? Yes, the Green Lantern Beware My Power movie from Warner Brothers on HBO Max. Does the answer mention it? Yeah, that is the it. I finally went ahead and watched it. I gotta say, DC Animation does it again. I truly wish they would have done something like this in live action years ago. Story, character development, and animation were all top notch. If you need something else to watch, I definitely recommend it. Keep up the good work, Andre.
00:11:11
Speaker
Well, I'm sorry for butchering this.
Listener Feedback & Corrections
00:11:13
Speaker
That's kind of how DC operates, right? Like they make great animated stuff and they were just like, all right, everyone loved all this stuff. Make sure we do not use it in the live action movies.
00:11:23
Speaker
I mean, of course. And it's just the fact that Green Lantern is such an amazing character, and there's so much that you could do. Doesn't matter which one of the Green Lanterns of Earth it is, because there's four of them at this point, like just pick one and run with that story. So it is on my watch list, I will get there soon. But I'm glad to know it's as good as, you know, all of the other DC animation stuff, because it's just
00:11:48
Speaker
They're known for animation at this point and you know James Gunn just keep doing it It actually that reminds me we don't have a news section this week, but that was a piece of news that they announced This past week. They will be making games and animated shows that tie into the new greater DC you Because it's not DC EU anymore
00:12:11
Speaker
I'm just hoping that Young Justice makes that cut, but it is interesting that they're acknowledging at the forefront that there will be other things outside of just the movies. Young Justice just needs to be the foundation. Like, Young Justice should just be how DC operates. Yes, I mean, there's a lot of directions for them to go, but
00:12:39
Speaker
Justice is the way. Young Justice, this is the way. This is the only way. Speaking of DC stuff, what was the game called? Gotham Knights. They announced a new game mode that can be used from one to four players. And it's a specific game mode, but it's basically like a Starro invasion.
00:13:02
Speaker
starro yeah so it's like it's not part of the story it's like its own specific game mode and i don't know too many of the details because i haven't like i still haven't played the game yet
00:13:10
Speaker
But this is the only time that you can play with all four characters and have four people to play with. Because that's some of the things that people were talking about, about how you can only have one person in the campaign. So the fact that they open this up to have something over to the side and play with more people is pretty cool. Because a game with that system just has endless possibilities. So the fact that they're just slowly adding things on, this could very well be a game that survives two or three years.
00:13:38
Speaker
I mean, I sure hope so. I've heard some mixed things and I hopefully will be getting it soon, but my main request hearing that is do they get a fifth playable character that is Jaro at this point? Or are you looking at me like you don't know who Jaro is?
00:13:56
Speaker
Jaro is my favorite joke ever. Jaro is the sixth Robin. There's a comic run where Batman keeps a tiny piece of Starro in a jar and ends up naming him Jaro and like they bond and fall in love pretty not fall in love but like they have the camaraderie and then he ends up giving him a little Robin outfit and starts fighting crime with Jaro whom still has the bloodlust of Starro so it's just like let's go kill people Batman and Batman's like no
00:14:26
Speaker
We're gonna stop them, but still it's just this weird the sixth robin is Jaro in a jar. You're basically just telling me that you want Damien I Forgot Damien's not in the game Poor Damien Damien Okay, full circle let's go okay
00:14:53
Speaker
Alright, next up from Charles Horton. Do you want to take this one or should I? This was a fun one. I don't, I didn't take it. I know you want this, you giddy little bugger. Hello! I want to start by saying love the podcast. Thank you. I'm glad y'all are covering the shows y'all do.
00:15:11
Speaker
I love the coverage, the anime in the segment is great, the excitement you exhibit is contagious. The only piece of feedback I have, and it isn't a huge deal overall, but it's the pronunciation of Deku. It should be Deku, or Deku, it's kind of spelling so reading this is a little weird, but it should be Deku versus Deku. Deku.
00:15:35
Speaker
A minor thing, but I wanted to share. Hopefully I don't hurt any feelings. You all are awesome guys. Look forward to more animation coverage. Thanks, Charles. Charles, you did not hurt any feelings. I can promise you that much because I know I am the main culprit of this mispronunciation.
00:15:54
Speaker
Yeah, and we are primary English speakers trying to say Japanese words. So we are all open for corrections. But because this is one that I've called up before, I had a great laugh reading that this morning. So thank you for starting off my day on such a high note. No, trust me, Monica is getting an earful later that like she speaks Japanese and at no point decided to correct me on this like
00:16:16
Speaker
I mean, clearly, we've corrected you when you just looked past it and we just gave up, so... Yes, there are corrections. I could blame it on the, you know, Northeastern accent, but when... I probably have the least accent of the two of us here. There's not really... I could keep going. There's the Zelda thing, the Great Deku Tree. Oh, shoot, I said it right there. Okay, well, there's no excuse. Thank you for correcting us on that.
Chainsaw Man: Unpredictable Developments
00:16:46
Speaker
We...
00:16:46
Speaker
jay scotty to Look you keep saying it's a we we are all in this together. We think now you want to listen to me, okay Now thank you for that and if anyone else has corrections like this Please don't hesitate to do this like we take them with us Yeah, we take it as education because this is another language I want to do it right in the same way if we ever do culture things wrong or
00:17:16
Speaker
you know, tradition, whatever, feel free to reach out and let us know. This was an easy one that I will still probably screw up, but... And if Drew apparently listens to you guys, I'll make sure you write in, because... Well, why would I listen to Zuhair? I... Why? Why? See, that's the thing. I can choose whether or not to listen to you. They have to. They can't mute your parts in the car. That's what it is. They could turn the podcast off, but I'm just such a delight to listen to, why would they?
00:17:46
Speaker
I want that confidence. Speaking of confidence, let's confidently talk about as much of an anime as we can in one minute. We have two to cover within those one minutes too. Are you ready for this? Uh, I wish I was, but I don't have my phone here to be a timer. All right. So while he figures that out, Anna minute is a segment where we don't have enough time to talk about animated every week. So.
00:18:14
Speaker
Our primary is My Hero Academia, and throughout the week, the ones that we're obsessed with, we try to get as much of our thoughts out as we can in one minute. If there's one that you want to hear more about when the season is over, we will happily do an episode on it. So tell us what shows you love. Tell us which ones you love hearing about because we are here to talk about it. Now, are you ready to pick one? I'm so ready. I found a timer, everyone. Which one are we starting with? Chainsaw Man or Spy Family?
00:18:41
Speaker
I'll do chainsaw man Chainsaw man episode 8 gunfire. He might talk about episode 7 in which I do not have the title up in front of me I Could give you my guess at the title, but it's gonna be wrong Sure Okay You pronounce that right Maybe I don't know if you have any thoughts you can email us at animation deliberation podcast at gmail.com
00:19:12
Speaker
We are in a mood today. We really are. All right, I'm gonna start this timer.
00:19:20
Speaker
What the actual hell is this show at this point? I don't know. Everything's a surprise between these two episodes. I kind of knew this was coming because I saw the manga panel of the big event that happened in episode seven and I was still so caught off guard. This show is just insane definition of not for children anymore, but it's still weird that I love these characters and I love what they're doing and I hate that I love it. It's just bizarre
00:19:45
Speaker
that they can have these interactions and I'm still on board with the show because it doesn't make sense. And then this most recent episode is just even more of I can't follow it. I can't guess it. Everything is insane. I don't know who lives. I don't know who dies. I don't think I felt this stressed about characters since Game of Thrones like nothing else has gotten me this level of invested and hype. And it's just
00:20:07
Speaker
Oh, it's amazing. And Mappa, why did you do it so well? Why did you do all of this to such a flawless degree? But I'm sad and I'm happy and I need to know what comes next. I hate you. I love you. I hate that I love you. Unintentional reference, but I'm glad that it came through because that was definitely what was happening in my sub count.
00:20:35
Speaker
Yeah, this show definitely was hitting the point where it was just, yeah, we're gonna have our funny stuff, it's gonna be our film noir look, it sits at a cliffhanger, we start off with some cool action, it's over quickly and then, you know, rinse and repeat. But I believe it was J. Scottie that said the last time that we spoke that
00:20:52
Speaker
this whole gun demon thing the gun devil thing is what seems to be the ongoing story and what we're actually going to stick with a little bit so the fact that there seems to be a bit of a following a bit of a cult of these people like actually
00:21:06
Speaker
stopping the devil hunters from making the progress. It's very intriguing. We do have a bigger story. I wasn't expecting so many people to die right off the bat. I don't feel like they're actually dead and they're coming back, but that was just a wild series of events and things really are gonna get hectic from here on out. So I'm putting aside my, okay, this is just gonna be a redundant thing and we actually have a story moving forward. I feel like yours was so much more composed than mine was.
00:21:36
Speaker
Because you got it out. No pun intended, mine was just a word vomit. Pun intended. Who am I kidding? Um, God, let's see. Well, and what's worse is like, I'm upset that I looked this up the name of episode seven.
00:21:53
Speaker
the taste of kissing um uh yeah i completely forgot about that and like dude the end credit oh the end credit video where it was actually the rainbows coming out the end credit was hilarious what am i watching oh it was just dude i was screaming throughout that sequence like what was going on and what we had today was like what is going on pick a mood people
00:22:23
Speaker
Yeah, I don't I don't think it knows how like this writer is Insane and the like information that keeps coming out. I love about anime though
00:22:32
Speaker
But they've like done interviews recently and the information that keeps coming out is hilarious to me because did you see the headlines that were like he wrote these very strong bossy female characters because he met a girl in college that like bullied him and he realized he liked it so now he's just written all of these characters that bully the male characters?
00:22:55
Speaker
Yeah, that's apparently his initial reasoning for having Makima be this very dominant woman. Interesting. I just love her character overall. Hopefully not rest in peace. I do have a friend who did not want his name disclosed, but he did want to disclose that he was a doctor, that he was very upset that all of his waifus were killed off in this episode.
00:23:27
Speaker
What? You said doctor. I'm like, oh, is this going to be something about vomiting in another person's mouth? No, it's that he just straight up said, I'll start listening to the podcast if you share this message to your listeners for me.
00:23:39
Speaker
So I am doing this so that he listens and realizes how amazing this podcast is and starts telling his patients about it every day. And then there's already like a banner of another brown doctor in the waiting room. I'm hoping to have mine up with it with the animation deliberation. And this is, this is literally just to get the listenership up. Marketing baby. I did that message. He has to listen now and let's hope you have more listeners.
00:24:11
Speaker
Well, on that note, I'm gonna let you take Spy first, since I got to do all of the blustering Chainsaw Man. You know, before I do that, I wasn't happy, because Chainsaw Man is supposed to be my silly thing after Bleach.
00:24:31
Speaker
What episode was this silly? There was like one silly point. Everything else has been full on. This is the first episode that didn't have like pure comedy in it. But anyways, yeah, so I was mad that it was just two what the hell episodes.
Spy Family: Heartfelt Humor
00:24:50
Speaker
But moving on to spy family.
00:24:53
Speaker
The fun thing about the show is it's very reminiscent of Looney Tunes or Tom and Jerry where it's like two episodes within that 30 minute block. We're just getting a couple of shorts. It really is fun. I'm glad that we finally got to meet Nightfall because we saw her in a previous episode and we see her in these closers all the time.
00:25:12
Speaker
with i was wondering if it was just like steam from your cooking in the background from that epic closer or if she's actually jealous and now i'm getting like what they were actually going at so the fact that they're telling us like little bits of the story from
00:25:26
Speaker
the closer and now that it's just like unveiling what it is, it's really fine. Uh, everything between Anya getting mad at Bond and then all the stuff Penguin stuff and saying, I hate you, like that broke my heart a little bit, but the whole sequence was making like a Franken-Penguin and all. It was just so good. I just, this is, this show is so good for the solo and if you're not watching it, you're missing out so much.
00:25:50
Speaker
Yeah, the Looney Tunes comparison is great. It's heartfelt. It's genuine. There's just so much fun to be had. And two episodes ago, we got that great time of Anya just running around the hospital being a little menace that could read minds. And I just love that. It's just this new energy all the time with these characters that you think they're going to be serious. And they're just emotion. The one woman, Nightfall, is just falling in love with him. It just doesn't need to make sense. And I love it. And I don't know why.
00:26:19
Speaker
The penguin saving arc here has been one of my favorite things that has happened this season. So much fun. So cute. I was on board like Anya said I hate you and I was like, no, don't do that to Mr. Dog. You can't know.
00:26:34
Speaker
And there's just so much happening Lloyd bringing out the full like daddy energy with that entire arc He was just on it like if yours not in love with him I am at this point and then the number one laugh that I have gotten was not a boar But open the door boar food And yes, I hit that right on the minute mark, but just adding the you to the boar killed me You started with daddy and now you're at daddy
00:27:04
Speaker
Oh, yeah, I've like, like, yes, friend. Yeah, no, they were already way too attractive of a couple. But the just there was something about the caretaker energy there that was just like, Oh, no, this is daddy. This is not there. There's a line that's been crossed. About that show is so great. And that closer is still so perfect.
00:27:30
Speaker
opening and closer across the board. Like I think anime has started to really realize how important that is because it feels like all of the newer stuff is just killer open and closer. Whereas like they were good before, but they weren't a focal point. Now it's now it's top of the like mine, I suppose. Did we ever talk about how Chainsaw Man's opener is based off of like scenes from different movies?
00:27:59
Speaker
Hollywood movies did you watch that montage? I know I put it on our Instagram story like after the first episode came out and I think I mentioned hey there's references in there but I don't think we've like talked at length about it but it's so it's so much fun and that song is stuck in my head non-stop. I think this was the first time I skipped the opener just because of how wild the show started off.
00:28:25
Speaker
Fair. As a fair reason. I don't care enough to listen to a song on a regular basis. What is happening? Yeah. But yeah, if you weren't aware, the opening enclosures for Chainsaw Man, they're just, they are proper art. Stay for every closure. Yeah, I was about to say, stay for every closure. It's not only a different song, but a different animation to go with it every single week. I hated this one. It was so sad.
00:28:53
Speaker
Oh, it was so sad. It kept evoking emotions. It really...
Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Analysis
00:28:58
Speaker
Make it stop. We got one more. Bleach, Thousand-Year Blood War, Episode 8, the shooting star project. Everything about the show has been bonkers. I kind of want to talk about the last episode more because
00:29:13
Speaker
You know, we watched the head captain show off every part of his powers. We're like, why does the main hero need to come in? Now he's dead and the main hero does come in. We're like, all right, let's see him just like wreck shop. No, he gets his ass handed to him too. We get the big availing of him being a Quincy.
00:29:31
Speaker
We're gonna see more about his family and this and that and then we go into like the ramifications Within this episode so a few people are still alive, but you know everything is just shattered The Soul Society is destroyed the 13 head captains are just kind of like an all-time low right now And now we're gonna see the palace for the first time so what they have in store for Ichigo We don't know of course we're gonna have another training montage for a while like how could you not? but
00:29:58
Speaker
Things are wild in this show, like it's about as gut-wrenching as My Hero Academia is, and we're here for it.
00:30:04
Speaker
yeah obviously i'm not watching bleach but i think i even messaged you like as much as there was crazy stuff going on in chainsaw man crazy stuff going on in my hero i think i saw more bleach what is going on than anything else so the oldest one the start of a naruto did like bleach started when i was in middle school and now they're just like making this like reemergence so like the the fan base behind that is much higher than the other shows that we talk about
00:30:34
Speaker
Well, I mean, they're the only one of the big three that like, took a break and came back fresh. Because you got, you know, one piece, as we've talked about is still just hanging out and Boruto is Boruto. Boruto's another one that has better openers and closers than it does actual episodes. That's interesting. But I was looking at some of the manga excerpts that are out right now. And it's like, oh, it looks like things are getting interesting. Again, try to skip all these fillers and start reading.
00:31:04
Speaker
I mean, it's not the only time I ever read manga. So it's like, kind of makes sense to just read for border journal. Wow. Yeah.
00:31:12
Speaker
I could not wait for Naruto and I was in high school at the time so first it went to I was watching the dubbed episodes and then I was watching the sub which is easier to do when class was going on because I could just read the subtitles while the teacher was talking and then I ran out of those episodes so I started reading the manga because I could just click through every week and obviously I didn't make the time to learn Japanese so I couldn't do the Japanese manga but yeah I was locked in from middle school until college when it finally ended.
00:31:41
Speaker
Love is love, that's for sure. Such a great show. So that is it for
My Hero Academia: Battle & Strategy
00:31:47
Speaker
our animators. If there's anything that you guys want to hear from, make sure you hit up our socials, you email us at animation, elevation podcast at gmail.com.
00:31:54
Speaker
And if there's any of these shows that you want to hear more about, let us know so that when the season is over, we can have episodes dedicated to it. But bah bah bah bah bah bah bah! 25 minutes in. The biggest, never ending heartbreak on a week to week basis. My Hero Academia season six, episode eight, episode nine.
00:32:20
Speaker
Can't handle it. Neither can I. I'm going to do a synopsis of episode 9, Katsuki Bakugo Rising for everyone. We are going to talk about both episodes 8 and 9. I don't want to sit here and make you all listen. I'm going to do a talking order while you do that. Yeah, I'm just going to not make a... We're not going to prattle on about this forever, so I'm just going to do the synopsis of the most recent episode, and we will go from there. But in case you were somehow looking for not spoilers or whatever, we're covering both of those episodes.
00:32:51
Speaker
To desperately halt the effects of the quirk-destroying drug, Eraserhead cuts his leg off. Despite this, Shigaraki manages to reach his face, slicing one of his eyes just as Shoto appears, who had been following Deku and Bakugo. I'm sorry, I mispronounced it. I was trying, I was consciously- You wouldn't have a version of it! You're throwing in letters that don't belong anymore, you're just out of spite! Wait, what did I say? It was a neko.
00:33:21
Speaker
I said Deku and Bakugo, blasting him with a mountain of ice and further knocked back by Deku.
00:33:28
Speaker
Jesus. With Eraser unconscious, his quirk is undone and Shigaraki begins to regenerate all of his injuries. Meanwhile, the evacuation team overhear the mass destruction caused by Gigantomachia as he makes a reckless beeline directly towards his master. The rest of the UA students in Gunga can only look out in fear at the devastation left in his wake. Shigaraki prepares to finish everyone off only for his body to suddenly split open, realizing that he has awakened too early.
00:33:56
Speaker
Deku figures out that, just like him, his body can't withstand the power of all for one. At this moment, Midoriya unlocks the quirk of the seventh user, Nana Shimuru's float and combined it with black whip pulls Shigaraki into the air and rescues his companions. He proceeds to duel Shigaraki in the air alone while the heroes recover on the ground causing Bakugo to get anxious. He recalls a conversation with All Might during their training prior where Bakugo voiced his worries regarding a mystery of the one for all users.
00:34:26
Speaker
and admitting that his bullying of Meteoria came from not understanding his unselfish attitude. While unleashing the full power of One For All to overwhelm Shigaraki, even despite the damage to his body, Bakugo and Shoto get Endeavor into the air so he could finish Shigaraki off for good with Prominence Burn. As he burns alive, All For One's voice calls out to Shigaraki, his body suddenly releasing an array of ribbit stabs to knock Endeavor away. Shigaraki
00:34:55
Speaker
in quotes, shoots out several toward Meteoria, but with no hesitation, just like he had done before, Bakugo blasts forward pushing Meteoria out of the way and getting stabbed instead. All right, so a lot of last week's episode was class A and B trying to stop Jack onto Machia. We didn't get to talk about that. So I do want to put that aside so that we can just give the attention to the big
00:35:25
Speaker
Oh my, moments. That was, what the show has been doing to us is making us feel like we have this hope and there's a chance that we're going to win and that the tides are turning in our favor. But ever since Kamenari took that shock, that has not come to fruition. I feel so bad for these heroes just watching Gigantamaku just break through wrecking these towns.
00:35:52
Speaker
You were asking before, like, how far do you think it is from, like, one of the salt sites to the other? Oh, my gosh. The number of cities that they named in between was terrifying. Like, you know, when I mean, you were in Buffalo, but, you know, school days, you wake up and you're like waiting for your school to get called because there's so many that are going to be closed because it's snowing. Yeah, it was just this was the amount of cities that might get just fully trampled with those survivors.
00:36:23
Speaker
It just kept going like that was the feeling inside me they listed off like three or four and I was like oh my gosh this is crazy and then the fifth came and then the sixth came and I would guess there was about a dozen cities mentioned that we're going to just be absolutely leveled.
00:36:40
Speaker
And it was heartbreaking amongst all of the other heartbreak, because not only were we getting that, but we were also just seeing the defeat that was on the students' faces that they couldn't stop what was happening, that the tranquilizer wasn't going to take effect, that something had gone wrong. Just that pure, raw, it's over.
00:37:05
Speaker
was so crazy and that was before we even knew that some of the heroes had sacrificed themselves getting the students out to safety like so they are already guilty about that now there's all of these other cities in the way and they're trying to convince them to like hey you guys made the right call whatever happens like you guys made the right choice don't worry about that don't let that sit the dude who probably gave that message is dead right now yeah no it
00:37:33
Speaker
It's the pure heart of like, this is what it takes to be a hero. You know that All Might and Endeavor have had to sit there at night thinking about not who they saved, but who they couldn't save. And unfortunately, these students now have to go through that. And it's crazy that we have said this is what it is. And I mean, we were warned it's going to be dark. And I fear this is not as dark as it gets. And that's what's even crazier.
00:38:03
Speaker
Yeah. There's just so much going on. It's crazy how Aashi though actually knew Gigantamakia. Like that was the bully that she stopped when there were kids. Oh yes. That moment when she put the pieces together of that happening. And she froze because of it. Her entry was so incredible.
Character Interactions in My Hero Academia
00:38:22
Speaker
Like they had the quicksand in, right? She got her booze. She had this acid armor getting through all of it.
00:38:28
Speaker
And then as she was supposed to toss, it just froze because she recognized him. And there was just that sink that happened. But then Red Riot coming in to be able to return the favor of wrestling, like everything ties together so nicely. Like, why did we need this story between the two of them? We thought it was all about Red Riot. And then to find out that, like, those were just more seeds that they planted for season six. It's just, man, that's the attention to detail in this show. It's just always so baffling.
00:38:58
Speaker
Yeah, and that one feels like another budding romance possibility that we have going on there. Those two seem to have a pure moment between them, no matter how fleeting it was. But yeah, it's definitely one of the ships. I wouldn't be surprised. It's also that weird, like,
00:39:20
Speaker
They are all coming together, whether it be in a familial love, or a platonic love, or a romantic love. When all of this is over, they're going back to the dorms and just all being together in some capacity of just like, we did this together.
00:39:37
Speaker
But I will say we talk about how heavy things are getting and how great things are. I feel like the attempts at comedy are slowly falling by the wayside in these two episodes. Like, they're still trying, but it's not enough to pull through this because, like, this most recent episode, I know the comedy moment was, like, splits open with injury. Wait, what month is it? Like, no, I wasn't laughing at that. That was just... What was it?
00:40:06
Speaker
It was when Shigaraki split in half, and instead of being like, oh no, I'm not fully formed yet, he just looked at the heroes like, wait, what's today's date? Oh, I didn't think that was terrifying. I didn't think that was a comedy attempt at all.
00:40:19
Speaker
I took that as a comedy attempt that that might just be misreading but yeah that was like the only thing that I could think of because I'm still gonna hang back on this previous episode before like so many things happened I almost forgot that they nearly killed Gran Torino off.
00:40:38
Speaker
Like they gave us a whole episode of Gran Torino pummeled into the ground just there. And I like nearly forgot about that because there's so much happening. I'm like, that's not that's not okay. He is one of our like big characters in all of this. And I nearly forgot that that happened. My important is not stature.
00:41:01
Speaker
There's a comedy attempt! Hey, I will say that's one nitpick. How did he go from 6-2 to like 3-4? He needs to be like that. You know like all the gas he's pushing off once he got older like he had to compensate with the size. He's just getting shorter every time. Just getting compressed. That's why he tried to retire. Yep.
00:41:22
Speaker
That one just doesn't make any sense. You can convince me that All Might can get bigger, you can't convince me Gran Torino can get smaller. I'm not, I don't agree. It's like Fatgum, like he was just building up like all the compression into his height and now he's just like letting it out, but he's too old to like refill. Clothes are much cheaper in the kid's aisle, okay? It's funny because it's close to looking at Benito. He's working on Social Security now.
00:41:51
Speaker
He's not part of an agency. Let the man do his thing. He could be dying soon. Yeah, that's... I still... He doesn't feel safe. No one feels safe. I don't... No. No, him getting his ribs broken in was the start of Deku being like, I'm not going anywhere. Like I'm in this fight. That's what he started considering 100%. And when you have to start off an episode with Aizawa, just...
00:42:20
Speaker
cleanly just taking a knife out of his hip and shopping. I understand that it's anime or supposed to be quick with that but like the level of power that goes into cleaning off somebody's leg with one swipe the power of determination that needs to go into that and then to still be conscious like while it's happening
00:42:41
Speaker
Yeah, Endeavor, cauterize that. Let's close that off. No, because that was my thing. When they had that, like, tease. Did Endeavor cauterize it? Maybe he did. I can't. There's so many things. I know. I know. Like, one of the two heroes was trying to, like, get the scarf around to tie it up. And I know Blackwhip was, like, holding it for a second. But just the sheer shot, like, that's how the episode started. We're like, oh, he lost his powers. I'm wondering about Aerie at this point. Like, is she gonna...
00:43:11
Speaker
Reversing this yeah, you're gonna reverse leg coming back. Oh my god. That was one of my questions can airy reattach legs Because they gave us an even it wasn't even the decay that was hitting his face It was Shigaraki with pure will just ripping his face off trying to get to his eyes like Dude, the rating had to have gone up for this episode. I don't pay attention to ratings cuz I'm a grown man I don't think I did when I was a kid anyways, but I
00:43:39
Speaker
It had to have gone up for that because that made me just as uncomfortable as the vomiting kissing.
00:43:44
Speaker
Yeah, no, for sure. It goes back to my question at the beginning of the season, like, was this the first time we saw blood? When Twice was killed, that felt like a weird moment that we could see his blood spilling off the balcony. And I'm wondering if we did a little age up, like, okay, we can't show this to kids anymore. It's gonna change. But yeah, I don't know. Between
00:44:10
Speaker
Like, I didn't know what was gonna happen when we had that cliffhanger last episode because it was just the bullet going into his legs and his eyes fading. And I was like, why is he pulling out his knife? What does he think he's gonna do? That wasn't an option in my head. Like, that one did not cross my mind as a possibility. That was like, maybe drain the blood, you know, get the poison out of it, like a snake bite, like, nope, not taking any chances.
00:44:34
Speaker
Here's your dinner tonight. Yeah, it's, it's again, like, and they almost did a fake out and then they retconned the fake out, so to speak, of like watching his eyes fade and the color go away. So it's like, oh, his quirks gone. No, that was actually him losing focus. Like they had us so fooled. But again, you said it at the top. It's a feeling of hopelessness that that
00:44:59
Speaker
episode seven or eight rather episode eight ended and I didn't know what the hope was I was like eyes out was out we don't have his power anymore it's over and they didn't even give us hope back by having his leg cut off they just gave us moments
00:45:19
Speaker
And then this episode is the same thing of like, there's no hope at the end, we hit the end of this road and I just feel hopeless and I don't know where it goes. I'm scared for everybody. But Bakugo, like, it can't be Bakugo, right? Before we get to that,
00:45:39
Speaker
there was a guess that you had that Shigaraki's two missing fingers was a weapon of some sort. I was so upset that that wasn't true. When he pulled out the bullet, I was like, Oh my God, is Andrew right? I saw it actually. And then he flipped it. I was like, Oh, thank God. I can't let him be right.
00:46:02
Speaker
Yeah, I was, I was so ready for that. And I mean, that I don't also still it doesn't make sense how he just also bit me to Rio's arm during the 100% smash and then also still had enough wherewithal to flick the bullet. Like his physical and mental prowess at this point is off the charts. That's just that's a spiritual drive. So
00:46:30
Speaker
The readiness triangle, if a triangle makes readiness, you got three parts of it. Mind, body, spirit, and for each mind, body, spirit, you have preparedness, awareness, and willingness in that order of mind, body, spirit. Sorry, I switched to them. So preparedness is having what you need, physically, the tools.
00:46:53
Speaker
Awareness is obviously just being aware of the situation understanding surroundings understanding what it takes and the willingness is actually like the spirit to do something So these are this is like this triangle that I live by right it the first time I learned about it just blew my mind Can I? Point literally just willingness like he is shredded and just kind of like I need to hit this cool guy with this ball that what is your question? so my question is it a
00:47:20
Speaker
And this might be pedantic, but I'm trying not to be. Is this like a pyramid of like, you want to build up to this? Or is this a triangle of like, you can only, but is it a triangle of like, you can only pick two? Or you need all three? Okay, so it's building to the thing. Okay, I didn't know if it was one of those like triangle, the whole triangle represents readiness. And if you do not have preparedness, awareness and willingness, you are not truly ready to do something.
00:47:49
Speaker
So to make a phone call preparedness, do I have the phone awareness? Do I know who I'm calling willingness? Do I actually want to do I had the desire to make this phone call, which a lot of time with phone calls, most introverts don't. I was just about to say me ordering Chinese. Like, do I have the triangle in front of me? Yeah, exactly. So it's something as simple as that. And it's something as elaborate as do I want to put this core killing bullet into this goat slig?
00:48:19
Speaker
That's super cool, and I don't know. I get that he has that drive, but the fact that his motivation is just, I hate you, is crazy. His drive is not, I wanna avenge my parents, or these people have wronged me. At least we could kind of logic our way to how Aaron Yeager got to what he did, even though it's not right. Shigaraki is just raw,
00:48:47
Speaker
Anger and angst and it's just crazy that he's still at this level that like I want to have the Zuko moment of well You could be more powerful if it wasn't just anger like but it is a life of resentment right like he was looked at wrong and he killed his whole family and you know how much does he know about his actual mother that apparently left him and Like you see how much has still affecting Gran Torino
00:49:17
Speaker
Every punch he puts into Shigaraki. He just talks about how oh my god. Excuse me. What is her name? I was trying to find in the paragraph as I was going down that shimura He was like shimura would be so disappointed you and this and that like I mean, it's got hate belts up and you know that all for one is just
00:49:40
Speaker
Feasting on it. He's just pointing this weapon in the direction of like yes everyone hates you everyone's out to get you heroes are frauds and It's a lot Yeah, no, it's and that's my thing. I don't disagree with like he was wronged but by heroes by a small group of people to kill people on mass like this is and
00:50:08
Speaker
But yeah, it does make me wonder how much is all for one behind this. Now that we've kind of gotten this, we saw it coming a little bit. The whole, is he actually in control? And we got that confirmation at the end when he looked at Meteoria and went, oh, hello, brother. It was like, okay, so this is all for one. At what point do we find out Shigaraki was literally just a vessel?
00:50:37
Speaker
It seems to be getting that way because first Shigaraki was like, no, I'm going to do this on my own terms because you haven't been doing it the right way. I appreciate you raising me, but like we're doing this a Shigaraki way now. And now that he actually is just getting absolutely pummeled like.
00:50:54
Speaker
Endeavor's entrance was so cool and I called it that Shoto was gonna come in like just to cool him off to give him the power to do it but that scream that was a nightmare scream of Endeavor just hogging in from behind hitting that prominent blast just You see him burning in his face and I was like, oh my god, they can stop But like he's just he's he's done and now
00:51:25
Speaker
All for one because you see him like grinning in his cell too. It's just kind of like I'm going to take over. You don't want to die now. And yeah, he's he's taking the wheel and it's terrifying. Like that was his power. The little zigzaggy dark side looking spears that came out. The the rivet stabs. Yeah, I guess they're called rivet stabs. The more you know. Yeah, I.
00:51:51
Speaker
It also feels very Voldemort horcruxy, I guess. There's a possibility there's another body out there. Even if they manage to kill Shigaraki all for one, they're still the all for one that is in the prison cell. Could there be more?
00:52:13
Speaker
I don't know. It's never ending. It's hopeless. I'm terrified. I need to know more. Also, it's episode 9.
00:52:23
Speaker
There's so many things happening. Does Eri even play a part in all of this? There's just... There's so many questions. I don't even know anymore because also the Nomu are still running rampant. I don't even know if any other heroes could get from the civilians to Shigaraki because of the Nomu army that's standing between them. As much as I want to see Uruaka show up and help, I don't even know if they can get there.
00:52:52
Speaker
Unless Eda gives her a piggyback ride. Maybe. I don't know. In the little bit of like next time on, like you see that Eda is getting involved somehow. I don't know if he's actually going to make it to the battlefield or if he's just doing stuff in his area or I feel bad talking about the next time on, but it's like I'm in shock throughout the credits, so I don't like hit back before it comes on. And then I'm just sitting there in absolute silence and then spy family plays by itself and then I'm happy again.
00:53:23
Speaker
Oh my God, I forgot to mention, thank you for saying this. So you watched the credits this week, right?
00:53:30
Speaker
Yes! Oh my god, what was different? What was different? I can't remember what it was. I knew that there was something different. Usually right near the end, it's Shigaraki standing on the roof with his cape fluttering. This time, it was baby Bakugo holding out his hand and big Bakugo holding it in the water instead of Midoriya grabbing it and pulling him up. And I was just like, no, this feels like an actual goodbye like it was for twice, and I'm not ready for that.
00:53:59
Speaker
No, that was Midoriya's hand both times. No, it was Baby Bakugo and Big Bakugo. There was no... No, there was Baby Bakugo and Big Bakugo in the water, and there was a hand reaching out to each one.
00:54:13
Speaker
I assume it's like them connecting, like it's the idea of one helping up the other. No, this was the exact scene from when Bakugo fell off the bridge. And even though he was okay, Midoriya ran down to grab him. Right. That was showing. So it was showing Midoriya lifting him up because we had that conversation of Bakugo and All Might and like how much he actually does care for him.
00:54:36
Speaker
That's what that was representing. That wasn't Bakugo picking himself up. That was a symbolism of how much of an effect Midoriya actually had on Bakugo that we're hearing him confess for the first time in a flashback scene.
00:54:50
Speaker
Well, yes, but I think you're most of the way there in the fact that it's symbolism. I think the symbolism is he's in his head, he's replacing Meteoria with himself. He's the one that has to do the saving now. It's finally his time to be selfless enough, so he's the one pulling the little boy out this time, not Meteoria.
00:55:15
Speaker
I think this is his way of saying thank you for pulling me back then, but I don't want to get too much into it. This is his artistic interpretation. I think it's Benoria both times picking him up. Because of everything that happened with Twice, I was like, I gotta pay attention to this because something's about to switch up. And I was like, whoa, there it is.
00:55:38
Speaker
Yeah, but again, it felt too final. Seeing that was a problem to me. There's no way they're gonna kill off Bakugo and Endeavor. And that's the weird thing. I think someone has to die, but I don't know who.
00:56:00
Speaker
At this point, it feels like the gravely injured are kind of safe. I just need Eri to show up Goku style and just rewind Shigaraki before he got implanted and Aizawa with his leg. Can she just be the sense of being that we need?
00:56:23
Speaker
Yeah, well, it is that like, interesting, how far back can she go? Because when she initially showed up, I think we all assumed, oh, she'll reverse La Milleons, or actually, they even said, that's the goal is to train you up so you can reverse La Milleons, you know, loss of quirk. Yeah. So like, does she need to touch the things? What's the, what's the activation? Eyes always, eyes always like supervision at all times, because her power can get out of control.
00:56:52
Speaker
How is she gonna respond when she finds out what happens to her caretaker? Oh yeah, maybe she actually does save the day because she just goes buck wild. On the topic of her being a little baby, I got a mini Funko the other day that is the scene of Mederia going infinite with Ariana's back.
00:57:20
Speaker
Yeah, it's so good. I've seen the regular size Funko. That's cute. Yeah, I got a I got a little baby one Midorias powers There was a lot of speculation of Is he gonna get all of his powers? Are we getting one at a time? And do we still have more of the story is are we just gonna see everything and this is like the last season of the show when they're just not telling us and
00:57:45
Speaker
I'm sure there's a bunch of people who are reading the manga right now, like read the damn manga so we can tell you. Thank you everybody who hasn't done that yet, but we're sorry. Thanks Fabian. There's a lot that could happen. I want there to be more story, like there's no way that this can be like the final showdown. But it's cool that
00:58:09
Speaker
float was Unlocked already and he's actually been working on this as opposed to him unlocking something and figuring it out right away So at first I was like there's such an intense situation going on. Why do I care about a flashback? But that was a very good flashback It was I don't know why this was I paid so much attention to this but it's cute how like Iraq actually had like Her hair was so cute like it goes to go out of like
00:58:36
Speaker
a character's normal style is like a lot of work for animators. So the fact that they did that was just kind of like, oh, I love this. And then her like yelling at Bakugo for beating him up to the point that he can't learn all the time was just so cute. So that was her tape arms. I'm sorry, I can't remember his name. And Sue just kind of going over the power. But then that deep talk between All Might and Bakugo, the fact that he actually sat and had a civil conversation for a solid two minutes. Such growth in Bakugo.
00:59:05
Speaker
Uh, now there's a growth coming out of Bakugo's front and back. Oh no. That's interesting. I like how Gran Torino recognized her right away too. He's like, ah, that's my master's power. Yeah, no, they were totally on board. That was epic. How like he was about to hit the decay because I saw his power turned off and then he was like, nope, we're going for it.
00:59:33
Speaker
Oh, and Decco's arms, he was like, if my teacher can cut his own leg off, I can bust up my arms, no problem. It's worth it. And that's the thing, there's a real chance that this is the final season because his arms, like, can't take much more. Like, we have to hit a point where it's like, this is all that I have left. Even though we know he's going to continue being a hero.
01:00:03
Speaker
I don't know. There's still a lot left for these characters to give, though. I think that's the one big piece of hope. Like, Shoto just got there. Todoroki has all the power. How does he use it from here? Unless, of course... Unless, of course, Dabi shows up. Yeah. Giganta Mecha could very well show up to all this, with all the Nomu still being there. That's such a terrifying thought.
01:00:32
Speaker
Yeah, like I am. I beg the question. Is this the last we've seen of Giganto Machia for the first 12 episodes? Like we've talked about it's going to be two chunks. Like do we even have time to focus on the story anymore? They find a way to make it relevant. They do. Every time I'm not upset by the extra relevance of what's going on, that's for sure. Nick, the last time we talked, we were talking about how like they cut to like where it would cut to commercial.
01:01:01
Speaker
Like we had Midora and then it cut to midnight. I was like, I don't care that it happened. I was just kind of like, this is a dragon. Side note, made some real interesting animation decisions with Midnight, but that's neither here nor there. That was some weird fan service. You know what I'm talking about. That's the funniest part. I have confirmed. Never mind. We're going to ignore it and keep going. I have confirmed you were correct with the Bakugo.
01:01:26
Speaker
in the water thing that both times he is reaching for Deku's hand. Yes, so you were correct interpretation was correct. But watching this back reminded me like I was so sucked in. I barely noticed bachelors in art school boy. Well, you bachelors in art school will appreciate the interesting like
01:01:49
Speaker
old-school TV set animation they decided to use for that little bit of like Bakugo's mind that it had the rounded edges and was like a little faded and grainy so that like when they wanted to cut it out it was the old-school TV like and the line to the middle like I don't know why they did that
01:02:10
Speaker
But it just it felt right to trigger your brain that like this is something happening outside of the battle. It's not just a flashback. It's like in someone's mind, I guess. They just they wanted you to just hear your heartbeat for a second. Because well, yeah, you had that that second of pin drop signs. Yeah, like, I don't know. Did you think he was going to jump in the way?
01:02:41
Speaker
I don't know what was happening. 20 minutes of my Saturday is literally just pure shock. Stress. 100% stress. I told you like, this is why I love TV shows and movies because like my brain sits at the door and I'm just locked into somebody else's world. This is why I love theaters. If I could watch these 20 minutes in a theater every week, it would be so much better.
01:03:08
Speaker
But yeah, the fear, I don't I don't think about I mean, I do. But it's so far back in my mind of like, Oh, this is gonna happen or there's gonna do this, we're gonna do that. Like, it's, it's, it's like you shove the voices in a closet and they're trying to tell you and you're just like, I'm in the moment. This is what's happening right now. Yeah, it's
01:03:38
Speaker
It's a great way to watch it. I just ask these questions as a podcaster, so to speak. I don't know how much of this is like, I actually did think about it in the moment, or it was just like a hindsight. Like, of course I thought about that. Because like, in the mo- I just, I seriously am just locked in. Yeah, no, I totally agree. It's just- And this is why I have to watch it by myself too. I can't have anybody say like, oh, well, that's gonna happen. Because I will want to like, just push that person out of the window.
01:04:08
Speaker
the second that they take me out of that trance. I was about to say it's the after the fact it is like put on the movie theater every time before don't text don't call don't post like you do not do anything you don't talk you don't yeah nothing happens when that screen goes on that's it unless it's a like we're rewatching something or it's a comedy whatever when it's go time it is go time for things like this
01:04:35
Speaker
Yeah, like I love my little cousin. But and he's so excited that he has like somebody that he can talk to about MCU stuff. So he was like, Hey, the Guardians 3 trailer came out and I'm like, Yeah, I'm swamped with work stuff right now. I'll watch it in a minute. He was like, Oh, I totally think that blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And I'm just like, bro, I don't want to know. Respect the fact I haven't seen it yet. I don't want to know that like,
01:05:01
Speaker
This is going to make me cry or this is going to be really funny. I need my own opinions on things and my own perceptions on things. I can't have outside voices. That's why I watch shows by myself now. That's why I'm very particular about who I go to the movies with.
01:05:18
Speaker
Like, this is my escape from everything. And I can't have little things ruined like that. And I wish people could just understand to STFU until that person says that they have seen it. I'm trying not to cuss, so Scotty doesn't have to cut it out. Yeah, we did a weirdly good job.
01:05:40
Speaker
Yeah, no, I completely agree. I have a silver mouth. It's really hard to wash my mouth. I live in an AV town. Oh, come on. There's a camera. You can watch your mouth. Just look in the screen. Bad jokes are bad. And he's giving me some fingers here. Yeah, they're flying away.
01:06:00
Speaker
No, I don't. Yeah, I don't want to harp on it too much by any means. But yeah, the the more I go to the movies, the more I think there are a lot of people that should not be allowed to go to the movies. There's just like, it's just lock in, enjoy yourself disappear in that world. If I'm sitting through three hours of avatar, you're sitting through it with me. Like, you know, just let's just, you know, disappear from the rest of the world. And no, it's on the 16th. Two weeks. Two weeks.
01:06:29
Speaker
Yeah, I got my tickets for that already. Oh man, this episode really tired me out. We came in with a lot of energy. I think we maintained it very well. I'm very happy with how this came out. I hope your doctor friend really enjoys what was...
01:06:44
Speaker
This was some two brain cell energy for sure. We were just playing ping pong back and forth a little bit there. But that's... I had coffee before I started editing and I think it kicked in. I put my head down a couple of times while I was editing and it seemed to all have kicked in for the podcast. Fantastic. Well, do you have fans to the listeners? I hope this made up for the week that we didn't give you anything. Yeah, we did give you an hour here.
01:07:18
Speaker
Oh, man. Well, to all of our fans out there, you know, give us a five star rating and review is the easiest way to support us as a show completely free. And you know, we love getting all sorts of feedback from you guys, whether it be in the form of emails, reviews, it's great to know that we are getting to our listeners out there. And on top of great ways to give us feedback,
01:07:42
Speaker
all of our social media platforms. You can follow us on Twitter at animation to live one and Facebook and Instagram animation deliberation. That is a great way to reach out. We didn't want to read them on the show, but we got some messages over the Thanksgiving holiday here in America. And they were just, you know, thankful for us just as much as we talked to the topic. We are so thankful for all of you. It's just so nice to hear these things that, you know, there are people on the other end of this rambling microphone.
01:08:09
Speaker
And there's just so many ways that you can reach out, don't feel pressured by any means, but we love hearing that and we love growing as a show and growing as a community as well. I still think my favorite thing ever was when we were getting so many emails during Young Justice that the email started replying to each other on the show. Like we were here, they were just responding to each other. It's so much fun to know that there is a group of you guys out there and yeah, we appreciate you.
01:08:37
Speaker
There's so many things that we have going on and we just love doing them. But outside of animation deliberation, Zuhair, what do you have that you do?
01:08:46
Speaker
Uh, this week I finally hop back on to 3-2-3 with Reed Murphy. The timings just haven't been able to work out the last few times. But, updated Commander's Talk, we are six? Five and one since Heinecky started? Uh, so I'm very excited that we're actually on a hot winning streak right now and in the playoff picture. Um, we got Marvel stuff coming out, so go to Marvel Cinematic Universe podcast and, or just wrapped up, we got the Star Wars Universe podcast.
01:09:16
Speaker
There's just a lot of good content. Strandapainted.com, find it all. Listen to them, show them love too. If you know people who listen to them, they don't listen to us, get them to listen to us. Apparently they don't watch anime, like we're just a goofy bunch. Apparently we're just fascinating to listen to. I guess so. And I mean, you know, it's not just limited to anime. We will be back to regular animation at some point as more of it comes out. Maybe even talk some Pokemon at some point. I'm just digging into the games. So that's...
01:09:44
Speaker
That's a possibility on the horizon for sure because I'm having a lot of fun no matter how goofy that game is. Part of me wants to get the game now like while the glitches are there because those highlight videos crack me up every week.
01:09:58
Speaker
Like I'm not even mad. It's just so funny. I saw that it was like it was a montage of like all the glitches from the game and then it was like with this happy like silly music and then it gets like super dark and then like the characters like passing them out and cuts the corner and there's just like Giant deli bird that looks you get in the eyes and then like just waddles towards you at full speed
01:10:27
Speaker
The horror music that went with it was so perfect. Yeah, so all of that stuff that we're excited to talk about, make sure you tune in next time. That's T-O-O-N-I-N-E-B-A-T-M-I-S-S-I-S-S-A-P-P-I. What? Beefuss, I'll try it as always. Stay well. And until we pull each other out of the water again, friend. Muscle, muscle.

Learn how to protect your family from opioid overdose at opioidresponse.info. This message is brought to you by Georgia DBHDD.
