They Took The Dogman To The Dog Park
If you want to continue, if you had any further cat shenanigans you want to discuss.
Oh no, it's just a terribly sad, uncomfortable situation.
If I find homes for these babies, I swear I will never feed another stray cat again.
You swear I got this, I'm recording this.
This I just I need to find good safe homes.
Say someone in the LA, Bakersfield, anything in between fucking Fresno even or.
They'll be loved and cared for.
Maybe not Fresno, they're just going to get stabbed.
Like we brought them home so it ran up and just stabbed them.
Stabbed the capital of California, Fresno.
We have like 1 Fresno listener who's like man got us again if you're in Kern County.
Wait, I don't think Fresno's in Kern County.
I don't think no, it is and it doesn't.
No, it's in Fresno County.
I got to believe the video, though.
You are a weird Kern County smorgasbord of information that I have never once asked for.
I've never once been like, tell me more about those Kern of counties.
No, I was what I was saying before we changed gears because we were talking about.
Yeah, it's in Fresno County.
Whatever man, no one gives a poop.
They're a city and a county and they suck at both.
It's still a stabbing capital of California.
If you haven't been stabbed yet just give it a minute.
I was talking about my my Co workers Frenchie.
And how I give them, 'cause we did this thing that I, I adamantly was against.
And because I knew myself.
Yeah, I like to make all animals talk.
My cat has a dedicated voice.
My dog has a dedicated voice.
We have one of my other coworkers, he has a corgi, but his name is Gunther or Gunther, if you will.
And so every time I'm good because I'm like, yeah, I don't like these people.
You know, that's, that's Gunther's voice.
If he there's a couple dogs where I'm just like, they don't have enough personality to or they're not around me enough to give them a voice.
I'm just like, yeah, whatever.
But her Frenchies have a lot of personality.
And so I gave him like Auk St. voice.
Like he's more, he's like he's like bruv, bruv, what we doing here, bruv?
You know, like that's his voice.
And then his brother's name is Thor.
And I do more of like a prissy UK like like I'm trying to think of it.
I just did the other one so and I did Gunther's voice at the same time.
But anyway, I do I just do different voices for him, but I do Rufus's a lot because he'll just stare at me.
And now he's learned that if he hears me do the voice, he'll stare at me more than but what we do and bruv, what we doing and I'll be like bottle wall.
I need a bottle wall over here.
You know, which is this one one woman I work with every time I say bottle wall, she's just copies me and just start saying like she'll say it the same way 'cause she's like, how do you do that?
So well, I'm just like, I was like what you talk about love.
This is just how we say what a what here.
But yeah, that's my that's my that doesn't work jokes.
I'm going to just keep talking about work.
I I taught two people what see you next Tuesday means, which I don't think I'm supposed to 20s, late 20s, maybe early 30s they.
But they were just like, what?
And I was like, yeah, because it ties into a story about the pediatrician.
Like I went to the pediatrician with my oldest for a follow up appointment and we were in the parking lot and there's these two women just kind of like talked and passing.
Didn't really think anything of it.
Then one of them runs back and she goes see you next Tuesday.
This huge delay before she says anything else to where I stopped and froze.
Did you just call her a cunt?
Did you just call her that?
And the woman froze and was like, what would you say to me, motherfucker?
And she says for the appointment.
And I was like, that delay was too much.
Like I, I feel like the woman had heard people say it like that.
And that's why she had so much pep when she said see you next Tuesday.
Because I don't think people really say that a lot.
I say that around the office all the time.
I'll be like, that's a real see you next Tuesday type of situation.
And they're just like, what is he taught?
And a lot of them don't catch it and others catch it.
And then they're just like, should I report an HR?
And then that's how I keep getting by.
But but yeah, I froze dead in my tracks.
I forgot what I was doing.
Like my son was like, Dad, what are we doing?
I was like, hit the button.
I was like, hit the button for the elevator.
It's like, Dad just heard some wild shit and then just for the appointment and I was like, oh, OK, all right, OK, OK.
But even the woman, like, she was like, Oh yeah, Tuesday she was like, OK, And you could tell her she was just like, what the why the fuck did you say it that way?
So I was telling that story and they were like, what is that?
I was like, well it's like 1st letter, but yeah, switched the YOU to just EU and they were oh, and I was like there you go.
Yeah, it wasn't CYNT, it was AU and they were just like oh, same person I taught foobar to as well.
They were just like, I was like, it's all foobar.
And she was like, what does that mean?
I was just like, no, I was like, we'll put your helmet off.
There's a third thing I taught them on Friday that I don't remember.
I just know I I that's when I realized I was like, what am I doing today?
I just was like, what the fuck am I saying all this shit for?
They were like, we're loving it.
And I was like, this is this is not a good example of a boss me.
I'm I'm the not good example.
I was like, I don't think I should be teaching or saying any of this in front of you all did.
I Is that some word play already?
It's well, it's, it means it's like a, a wrong name for something.
And so we were talking, I go, oh, that's a misnomer.
And my coworkers are like, is there a Mr. Nomer?
You guys so So yeah, they've teased me about it for I think going on two weeks now.
That they didn't know, OK.
That I would use that word because.
Also known that I'm the I'm the girl in class in elementary school that said present instead of here.
Yeah, and I told my daughter. 100%.
So he gets into first grade and I'm like, when they call roll, make sure you say present.
And everyone stares at him like he's a weirdo.
And he's to this day he says, you set me up to look like a moron.
And I'm like, no, I say present.
No, that's that's what you're supposed to say.
Trying to make you look smart and eager to learn.
The teacher made a note like wasn't sincere that present wasn't sincere yours.
She wants me to think she's even smart, but my ass is damp from the brown nose so Oh my God that's anime.
I am your host Dustin, joined by the lovely Lindsay.
It is time for for anime.
Yup, I brought some stuff.
I just realized I didn't open my stuff.
So I'm just like, it's like I should have prepared a little more when we were talking.
Start off with Lindsay's ketchup corner.
I don't like that it needs a different name it it just feels like someone's mom stumbled in.
It's like chatting some anime and you're just like, no thanks, I'm good.
All right, let's catch up with you on some anime.
OK, you're going to be really upset so.
Then let's not we're done catching up with Lindsay on anime.
I I've just very, very, very briefly.
It's probably something horrible.
Akamoto days I finally finished season 2 that.
Was just Part 1 or Part 2 of season 1?
OK, well, I've, well regardless.
This is how you want to start the episode?
I know you were just enchanted with like the 1st 11 episodes you're really going to.
Be I'm not going to watch it.
So yeah, basically they've decided they have to infiltrate the the school that trains all the assassins.
So they go to take the assassin test and it turns into like a battle Royale on the island and the only plus sign.
The the class they already went right?
Like 2 of them already graduated They.
Have their assessments license.
And they just think like they don't keep good paperwork.
Yes, and Mr. Sakamoto is wearing a shirt, a yellow shirt that says Student on.
It you're like, excuse me, fat old man, what things?
What do you think you got going on?
So it's it really kind of went off the the rails, but there is a hot bad guy.
Oh God, so a red flag bad guy.
Yeah, he's got spiky white hair and red eye makeup.
Yeah, and he beats the shit out of people.
No, no, no, no, you don't get to say but you.
Like that and he'd be like, so anyway, let's move on now.
I don't know, it's kind of getting a little ridiculous and I'm not enjoying it like I did the first season.
If it was just ridiculous, that'd be fine.
It's the fact that it's not good and ridiculous.
Yeah, they and of course, this was a means to introduce a crap ton of new characters and they sidelined Lou.
Let's see, that's the thing.
This is just, it's doing the One Punch Man thing.
We got this crazy fun, over the top character that can basically be to everyone.
So we got to just introduce the world for him to beat up, and then we spend more time in that world than with the character and who gives a fuck?
So not it's, it's losing its, its shine.
I guess I'd give it a 2 if we're still doing ratings in Lindsay's catch up corner.
Stay tuned for next week.
No, I've still got like 3 more things to knock out.
We already forgot about them.
I should have gone first.
Because I'm catching up on something that's actually good, but now I feel like everyone's got a bad taste in their mouth from stock up days.
Wait, did you make that sound?
Oh my gosh, it sounds like one of those buttons that you push and it.
Thinks yeah, I don't know if you notices, Lindsay.
I like to do sound effects and voices and stuff.
It just, it was really good, yeah.
I've, I've been doing it for a long time.
You know, I can do several different types of farts that all sound convincing.
So which is great when people bend over.
Like they don't love it out of the office.
One of my favorite is when someone, someone takes a bite of food and go all like right as they do it like perfectly in time with them.
And one guy, he drinks a lot of water.
So I'll be like, and he the amount of times he almost spits out water when I catch him just perfect is worth it, you know, because I don't sit close enough to get sprayed with water.
So it's just like one day someone could be like, Hey, could you never do that again?
But yeah, Lindsay, it's raining, as you know, and my whole family has been sick for like a month and they finally were unsick.
Then I got sick and I'm still a little sick.
And but yesterday, no one, no one wanted to do anything and no one wanted to do anything together.
So I was like, I just sat with my youngest and I watched on my iPad while he watched on our TV.
And I watched, in a very rare move by me, the entire second season of Solo Leveling.
And oh, we didn't get to talk about this, huh?
Yeah, Did I not talk about it?
I don't think you did because of me, because.
Yeah, So we can we can have a discussion, but I was going to start off with some just deeper thoughts on it, a deeper thought, just some different thoughts that don't relate to maybe necessarily the episodic breakdown or whatever.
But I'm glad that it because like the reason I sat down and picked this one in particular, because there's several ones I could have done this too, obviously.
But I kept seeing like social media posts where people like soul levelling's mid as fuck.
And I was like, I can I can see that argument because it's got the Korean pacing that, you know, a typical Japanese animation viewer is going to be like, you know, it's going to fight against your natural viewing habit and and kind of like process, you know?
But what I noticed in watching this is that, and I'm going to have to give it a lot of kudos for, is that it really was set up from the beginning to the end to be more about the entire second season as like 1 viewing.
Like you could almost edit out the episode overlaps that they do, you know, like the little like like last time type shit and make just like one really long badass movie and it would fit perfectly because they just don't overlap other than like using the exact same animation.
They don't do that shitty thing that sometimes have sort of like here, we had a week and we didn't like how we illustrated that last week.
So we did this this way this week and you're like, hey, I've already saw that fight.
So there's just something to say.
I'm just like how easy and how dopamine fucking just like perfect it was to just be able to blitz through the entire second season 'cause I I just don't binge anymore.
I just don't find it that enjoyable.
I don't know if I ever really found it that enjoyable.
I think there was like a novelty to it when we first could all do it and now it's just like that novelty is worn off of me big time.
And unless you're like really good or really dumb or it's like a really short season, like hamsters versus humans, I watched those six episodes.
You know, I watched them all back-to-back because I was just like, this is dumb fun.
And I knew if I stopped watching, I would never go back.
So but yeah, there's just something like really kind of I think wonderful about the pacing to this that makes it great to watch all together.
And I'm glad I watched it that way.
I don't know if I would have enjoyed it as much.
And I can understand people's arguments if they don't, if they watched it like week by week, because I just don't know if it's as strong, you know, there's there's this, I don't know, something about me and we'll just click into the next one, click into the next one.
It really, the story is so perfectly paced for that entire season and 1:00 and 1:00 go that I'm like, yeah, I can see why people would, you know, put it down.
But I think they're still wrong because it's actually a really great show.
Did you talk about any of it?
I don't think you let me.
I don't know if I mean, I think that's the mischaracterization of myself, if I do say so myself.
But anyway, you didn't want spoilers and so I.
Well, I'm glad you didn't because I yeah, I would have been pissed.
His shadow people, Lindsay, just to talk about that since like, you know, who cares?
Most people if I already watched this, I think, and I think that's what makes this show look so good is like a one.
Everything just looks really good, like every little detail and the shadow creatures and people look fucking awesome all the time.
And then it's like giving the different levels when he powers them up differently.
We're almost like, oh, we got pink motherfuckers now.
Oh, we got purple motherfuckers now.
Oh, we got rage going on.
I just really like that so quickly.
I think the IT starts off with like Jin Wu.
He's he's doing parent teacher conferences, filling in for all his parents though I think this is the episode where we introduced his.
Dad with, like, the fucking lion's mane of hair.
I was just like, OK, that's a lot of hair.
Well, he's been, I don't know, traveling.
That's a lot of hair he got that long and luscious.
There's not a lot of hair products, but it does look it's.
They're like how he was conditioner.
You don't even need that much, man.
I made it last for 10 years.
These companies, they selling you hype in a bottle just like OK.
But he meets with the teacher.
His sister's classmates were all just like, wah, wah, wooey.
That guy is dreamy and making me, you know, feel things in the nethers that I haven't felt before.
And then the teacher's like, hey, if your sister awakens as a hunter, will you let her be a hunter?
And he's just like, God, no, fuck no.
He's like, I can do it all.
And she's like, well, then can you go talk to one of her friends?
Right, right, right, right.
And so he does and it's a girl you're already married into.
He's like, come on, we're going to go on AC ring job so you can see how AC ring dungeon is.
And I was just like, this ain't going to be no C ring dungeon.
I was like, this motherfucker doesn't understand.
He's he's got the touch right now.
Everything he touches is going to turn to shit every time.
I don't know why he thought after his whole past he's just going to do a quick.
We'll just lay back in the cut, whatever.
He gets there, turns into an A rank A Red Gate and and then the guy that's was leading it, who was there to do the training, he doesn't want to be there and thinks they're all scrubs.
He's like, this is how we're going to survive.
I was like, oh, here we go, here we go.
Yeah, he's just like all of us that are A's and B's and shit.
We're going to go this way.
And you guys, you guys, you guys are gonna die 'cause I'm not even gonna, I'm not even gonna waste my time.
Waste valuable resources to keep you alive, yeah.
And so the 11 of the women, I don't know what she is.
A major who who fucking cares?
No, you do you see her again?
Yeah, she's in the she's in the Battle of of the island.
She's like, I'm going to go with that guy because, oh, because some fucking badass, amazing looking blue elves, some ice elves shoot these two pronged arrows that kill one guy, like instantly just hit him in the eye.
His whole face turns to ice and he's dead.
And then he catches one with his hand and just whatever.
And so she's like, she sees it and she's like, yeah, that guy might be E ranked.
I'm going to go to that guy.
And even the the lead to the A ranked guy, he's like, all right, you got, he just starts talking to him.
He's like, you guys go over there and he's just like later on he's like, why the fuck was I talking to that E rank guy?
So the first party they go, they get fucked up by bears a little bit, but they survive.
And then they eventually get killed by the elves because the elves are just like, we're not going to stop killing you fuckers.
His party, meanwhile, he goes through that.
He's got like that bag that like holds like a million stuff and he's like pulling coats out for.
The like, here's your fucking Narnia fucking wardrobe coats.
They're all just like, oh, I'm so warm.
He sets up a campsite for them.
They're just like they're like, oh, that's pretty cool.
He's like, yeah, fucking bears, whatever.
He's just like he kills like, I don't know, like 6 or 7 bears and and then he goes and finds their their cave and he kills all of them until the leader bear comes out.
And this is my favorite character ever because he has like a Mohawk mullet that goes like all the way down his back for no fucking reason.
I'm not going to say it looks cool.
It looks dumb as fuck, but I loved it.
I loved how dumb I was just like, that's that's stick because of how dumb it is.
He kills the OR he sends a shadow guy out to to kill him.
Oh, the night, yeah, the night who?
I love how the night comes out and just like kneel down every time.
I'm just like, that's cool.
And so yeah, you just you get to see him do his like full power.
He's got the you know, the the mages, the other Knights.
It's leader night guy and he's like all right, cool.
And then he just he gets the bears.
He he takes that boss bear and I was just like, OK, so that's what we're doing this season.
We're getting all the bosses like you died for this man.
And so then he, you know, and they're just like kind of chilling, whatever.
And then the, the, the night or the, the a rank guy, he runs, leaving all of his guys for dead.
And he finds them just like in their Narnia coats, laughing, hitting by the fire, making some cocoa.
And he's just like, he's like you, you guys help with help supplies.
And I'm like, I'm pretty sure it's because those elves are fucking ranked way higher than you, dude.
And they are not fucking around.
He starts charging at him.
Jin Wu comes from behind, just sees him like knocks him in the head, sends him fucking flying.
He's like fucking rent out some from supplies.
He's like, and you lend him back to us, you Dick head.
So then he starts talking to the elves because he can understand them and they can understand him.
And he the elves are just like we hear a voice that says kill all humans but doesn't say it when we look at you because you smell different.
And he's just like, thank you, I guess.
And so he, he summons all of his people out, they start fighting and he starts taking on the main elf guy.
He's got to use all of his people.
He also kills his third batch of humans.
I guess he kills the A rank guy 'cause he's the A rank guy's trying to kill him.
And then makes him a rise into his his gang and gives him a shitty name because he can't remember anyone's names.
Anyways, just the ultimate disrespect.
I got to work for you while I'm dead now and you call me a shitty name that I don't that's not my actual name.
But if he beats that guy, he can't extract him.
That was my favorite part.
They were like, yeah, his mood changed when he got there because he's so pissed they didn't get to extract the elf he was.
Like yes, like he he wasn't like high definition for Nancy Iron.
That's what he named the a ring guy.
And Iron's goof, he's a goofball after that.
Yeah, he's, he's kind of he's.
He's smashing the fucking shit out of the dead elf.
He's what's your problem.
Then he starts celebrating with the mages.
They're just like, he's like, that guy's going to be a problem later.
So and then he like the one of the guys that he killed in the first season, the brother is there waiting for him.
He just wants to, he just wants to kill the guy.
He's like, he's just straight up telling people he's like, I'm gonna kill the fucking guy.
And everyone's just like, we don't know if we can stop you.
But he gets called away 'cause he's.
Yeah, he's an S rank, OK?
He gets called away to America because Jinwu's dad.
He's he's in, he's arrested because I think he's a magical beast, because he's, he looks like one with his fucking hair.
And then the white tiger Guild guy, he's there, they come out and because they're all in a Panther.
Oh fuck, man, we fucked up.
Like they feel like they fucked up because they're like, oh man, we sent a bunch of, you know, rookies on into an A gate and and he's just like, hey, what went on in there?
He's like, where's my guys?
He's just like, hey, why don't you show some fucking gratitude for the people I did bring back?
And he's just like, oh, damn, you're right, you're right.
So and after that, then he goes back to try to defeat and get the elixir of life to cure his mom.
I'm just going to say spoiler now he is successful in the end or by the end of the season and brings his mom back.
And I'm sure nothing crazy or weird weird will happen, especially when dad shows up at home.
You know, I'm sure he won't be like you ported your mother, but he goes, he tests his tests his bears, he gets a bunch of shit.
He levels up and that's a good episode.
But then he comes out and he's like, I think this is that when he starts doing, does he retake the test before he does the excavating or he does the excavating and that makes him retest?
I think he starts doing the excavating and something.
No, it's he does it first.
Cause yeah, 'cause the blonde chick is all like.
Something happens and he realizes if I'm going to like, I don't know, he like level like tops out on experience.
Well no he he figures he should just re evaluate so that he can just take on dungeon.
Oh, he got, he got the really expensive thing that he can't sell because he's an E, right?
And everyone's going to be suspicious of him.
Which he decides not to sell anyway.
Yeah, so he he retested so it wouldn't look suspicious that he's got, yeah, really good loot.
Yeah, so he retested and he gets dubbed officially an S rank and gets offered a job through the chairman.
Cause the chairman's like listen, like all these guilds are kept at balance because they have, you know, set amount of S rings and stuff.
But like we need someone that can keep them in check 'cause right now we can't keep them in check.
We just sent an A rank guys to like look at them and hope that they don't break stuff, you know, So he's like, do you, do you want to join us?
And he's just like, he thinks about it, but he's like, Nah, I could just I belong in the dungeons.
And so he thinks like, oh, he's just craving money or whatever.
And then he starts excavating and he just minds the shit out of stuff.
But he gets a chance to see like an A ring boss and and then the sword, the dancing sword Princess or some shit, I don't know who, who apparently like finds the smell of hunters just atrocious.
Something about when you become a hunter, you smell different.
But around him, he smells good.
He's just like, excuse me, man, can I help you or something?
And the excavating crew, they all love him except for like one guy who gives a death stare to he's just like that guy's killed someone.
I know it and he's not wrong, But it's also like, shut up.
You got, you got big ass dumb lips.
And then like this other crew is like, we need someone, you know, we're, we're short people.
We need someone just to carry our gear thing he's familiar with.
So he's like, yeah, I'll do it.
And they're like, no dude, it's like, 'cause the excavating crew, they're nice.
They're just like, no man, that's like, that's real dangerous.
And he's like, what's the worst kid that could happen when I go?
Yeah, no, it gets cursed.
Remember they this one gets cursed where they can't leave the gate.
And so, yeah, they find they're just like, oh, OK, what the fuck?
And then so they run across like six of these red orcs and he goes into stealth mode and starts like cutting him up and like 1 mage can see him and then she's just like he must think we are shitty because like I could totally see him and he just didn't give a fuck.
Like and I and I think that's just indicative that he's just like he thinks his his conceal is way better than it actually is.
I'm like, you love that shit up buddy.
But then more red orc show up after they find out they're like cursed and stuff or like the gate exits cursed and they're like show up or we're just going to kill you all.
So they show up and then like there's this big ass guy with like we're going to just go and call him Tusk.
He says his name like 14 times and I have never related to a main character, more of like I don't know your fucking name.
And I'm like, that's that works.
That's the one I think that's got a chip on his shoulder every time he brings them out.
Yeah, well, yeah, because, so, yeah, that like the the leader dude, the A rank guy because it's like an A rank B rank party.
He's like, what do you guys want?
And they're just like, we're just going to kill you one by 1:00 and you're just here to entertain us.
We're bored, you know, like your entertainment.
And he tries to go up against him, and then he gets fucked up and Jin Wu saves him, and he's just like, hey, I'm going to need your permission to kind of, like, take over this dungeon, man, you know?
And guys like, yeah, go for it.
Not in any position to stop.
Want to step on toes here?
To try to not take a nap right now, if you know what I mean.
He's like, yeah, I know you look pretty sleepy, but don't do it because he's like, taps him.
And so then he starts talking shit to the red orc Bob Tusk, and he's just like.
And he's just like, oh, because he kind of like uses his stuff and he kind of copies exactly.
He's like, yeah, he's just imitating.
He's just like, and then he brings up his people and I forget what he says exactly, but he's just like he's like, don't worry, you'll just be the next person I take.
And Tusk looks like he did a little doogie in his pants when he said that.
Like he's just like, oh fuck.
I don't want to be that because it's kind of like Tusk was transported.
There is what we start to learn is all of these like Gates are having people, someone's transporting them there and giving them like a voice and the voice says like sometimes, most of the time says kill all the humans, kill all the humans.
And so task is just like, no, this isn't how it's supposed to be.
That's not why I was transported here.
But he starts fucking them up.
He takes his generals, except for one.
There's 4/1 went down real.
I was like later on he's like, hey, what there four of you and they're like, you didn't you didn't absorb them.
Basically, they were like ceiling, floor.
He's like, oh, yeah, yeah, I'm like, dude, you killed him in two moves.
I don't think he was worth it.
I don't think he was going to be a great, you know, fourth general.
I think Tusk just didn't like odd numbers.
And he's just like, all right, you can be 1.
But it was what's he really like that?
So Tusk has a great power set.
He has like this spell wheel that he can do, but it doesn't matter.
Like, you know, just beats the shit out of them.
And again, they're like scrambling to get to this gate that got all fucked up and everything.
The Sword Princess, like this one's different 'cause people are able to get into it, they just can't get out.
So the Sword Princess goes in with a pickaxe.
She shows up just to see the chaos.
And then the, I don't know what they call it, like the Secret Service of these fuckers.
They show up after he's defeated everything and he's taking, he's made everyone a rise into his army.
And he's like, Oh yeah, I got so into it I forgot everyone was here.
And then they come there like everything you saw is classified.
No one's saying nothing and he's like, oh, cool, yay, and then one guy's like watch the news tomorrow and he's just like, does it pick up on that?
But then we do a like he goes in for a quote UN quote re evaluation, which is just, you know, him getting his license thing because they already re evaluated him.
But this Jackass that they've kind of introduced in the first season stuff who has claims against him for assaulting women or sexually assaulted women or minor girls or something.
He's an A rank and he's called his own press conference.
And then he Jinwu just trying to like walks up the stairs during the press conference, come try to stop him.
And they're just like, hey, fucking told you not to do a press conference here, You know, like get the fuck, don't touch him.
He's here on an appointment, special appointment.
And then they're just like, well, what about him?
Like no one sees the wizard.
And then and then he comes out and they've announced it to press that he's the 10th S rank hunter to awaken.
And it's great, 'cause the two, the two guys that he's been dealing with like the ultimate weapon and the the lion guy, the white tiger guy, they.
They're there trying to like kind of scout him and they're like, hey, we'll, we'll help you get through this crowd.
And he just like teleports away from the noon.
He's like, he's like, I'm good.
He puts up his hood and just walks away.
And so then he's just like, OK, back-to-back to climb the the the dungeon to get the elixir of life from a mom runs it to like this demon chick and she begs for his life.
So he helps her, and then he needs her dad.
He's like, there's a voice telling to kill all humans.
She said no, just to protect the place we're in.
The place they're in is on fire all day, all day, every day.
It's just cities after city of buildings collapsed on fire.
And then they're castle in the back somehow kind of sort of on fire at the base and excuse me.
And then so he's like, all right, well, I'll let you live if you give me the show me how to get up to the final, like levels and stuff.
So she he makes a deal with like the dad and and everything takes her with her.
She's just one of these goofy characters that just falls in love with his abilities and stuff, and he gets all the way up.
I mean, I'm not saying I wouldn't be like, swooped up into his eyes, you know, especially if they turn blue at me.
I'd be like, oh, tell me more.
But, you know, I mean, and granted, if we could have done with some more shirts off, you know, I I mean, I just think like him showing up in like, the cardigan to like the final battle.
Everyone else is all knighted out.
He's just like, yeah, I put on a nice sweater, You know, I had nicer, but I was afraid they might get ruined.
And you're just like, OK.
You know, it's just very it's just very on brand of like I could also have a concert later on a solo performance, if you will, you know, like that type of look.
But he finally goes to fight the demon monarch, which wasn't like the best battle, but it was kind of just like we just need to get this elixir, you know, and he needs to get that dragon.
Like, that's really what we're here for.
We need to get this fucking dragon on his team, Which was cool 'cause like you.
Yeah, Iron brought it over to him.
He's like, oh, how unusually thoughtful of you.
He's like, we do good now.
Smash and he learns instant teleportation.
Oh that's him 'cause he's like, oh man, I don't want to see cause demon girls like let's have a party.
He's like, yeah, no, I got shit to do.
And so she just, he transfers places with one of the shadow people because he left like him patrolling the city and shit while he was gone and one of the shadows, like what the fuck, where am I?
No directions given, whatever, you know, like, OK.
And so then he goes, he gives the Alexa to his mom.
She wakes up and it's all worth it.
And it's great, like, in that moment, cause, like, the dialogue's so great, 'cause he just wants to say it was all worth it.
And she's like, I could tell you've been fighting hard.
And he was like, yeah, yeah, I was, you know, And it's just very tender.
And it kind of gives him back his heart.
And then he starts to worry, like, am I too far gone?
Like I killed humans for this, you know?
And so it's just kind of like, you know, that part's kind of like, you know, the coming to the grips of like was, you know, it was all worth it.
But like, how has it changed me type thing?
I wish they had more time to dwell on that, but they were just like, we got to get you to this fucking island.
We got to wrap this island up.
We got bigger plans, so we got to wrap up this island.
But I think that's something that's like cool that they haven't forgotten.
Like when he killed the iron guy, like he wasted so much water.
Everyone in that bathroom just like staring in the mirror, splash in his face.
I was just like, turn it off, turn it off, turn it off.
Damn it, Jin Wu, I don't care if you got abs for days, you turn it off.
I want our babies that we're going to make together to have water.
And this is not the way to do that.
So and but I like, I like that.
So the, you know, mom's awake and now they're pushing the, the flying Ant has made it to the next closest island and it basically killed the whole fucking island.
And so they're like, we got to do a fourth attack.
Yeah, they've learned they're flying ants now.
They're not just unstoppable killer ants.
And so they get warriors from Japan.
I'm just going to touch base on this real quick.
The Japan warriors are just like, yeah, you guys look all week and shit, especially for S class.
But this guy, this guy named Goto, he and Jinwu like square off.
And it's, it's pretty cool what little fight they have because like both sides like jump in and just like, hey, hey, quick, real quick, like don't do what you're about to do.
There's people, there's the city, you're going to blow some shit up, you know?
And he's like, hey, all right, all right.
And he puts like shadows in some of their or like shadow warriors in their shadows.
So I was like, I love that.
And then he's like, by the way, not going to the final battle.
I was like, oh, we'll see about that.
The excuse me the plan works pretty well except for the Ant queen with who they do end up killing she and then then the plan.
The plan is kill the Ant queen, kill the flying 1 so they don't fuck off the island, and leave the rest to die after a year.
Because this is die after a year.
Yeah, with the Mama not making any more babies, they'll just die out.
They were already cannibalizing themselves.
So, you know, it was just.
Yeah, that's the plan, except for the queen has made this black Ant, this humanoid black Ant.
And he's, he's pretty intense.
So he also has apparently the worst aroma ever cause like, we know sensitive nose, she can't handle it.
But there's this one guy who's just like just starts puking, making ice.
He's like oh God, ice just make ice.
It's a life long enough to smell him very long.
Yeah, not for long, because he goes there and kills him with all the Japanese people just by popping their heads off.
We see so many scenes upside down of like POV of the head falling to the ground.
And I was just like, that's fucked up.
And he can absorb powers if he eats your head.
So that's kind of cool and gross.
But that begins the final battle after he kind of after the Ant kind of fucks everyone up because we're doing a live feed because we need to, we need to rally the people and see we need to get them behind.
And it's like, hey, if this fails, you guys might want to move like because it's not good.
This is our fourth rate on this island.
We're kind of losing control of shit.
But they get their assets handed to them.
And then Jinwu, just like Chance, transports there.
He just comes walking out behind me.
He's like, you guys mind if I take a crack?
And they're just like, I'm sorry, where the fuck did you come from?
Did you were you on the helicopter?
Were you here the whole time?
And he's like, we don't got time for that.
You don't have time for this.
Do you want a difficult explanation of how I'm way more cooler than you are?
Or do you want me to go beat that ant's ass?
And so he started doing this fight with the Ant.
I think it's a great final fight between the two of them because it starts out like the Ant has inflicted so much terror and so much hopelessness.
And then what I like about the stories like so the ants terror is very high.
And then it when Jin Wu comes in, it kind of all levels out.
And then we see Jin Wu's terror go high and Ant's hopelessness go, you know, raises his his terror lowers and his hopelessness raises.
So it's like, I wish you guys could see what I was doing with my hands right now.
You would see now I'm doing like a graph with my hands with.
On the X axis it's up here and then it's down here later on and then on the Y axis it's like low and then it's high.
You know that mean with the math in the air.
That's what's happening right now in my brain with my hands too helping anyway, I just really like that they just they start squaring off the Ant is fighting.
He's looking for the king to kill.
He wants to kill the human king because the the Ant queen was killed and I'm just like, and I was just like low key wine.
So we were like, yeah, man, we don't we don't really do that right now.
That's the kind of sore subject.
Don't be doing don't be saying kings of humans, you know, like no, we good, but they start fighting and he he wants to save the sword Princess because she smelled him and he's just like, I think I like her because she smelled me and said I smelled good.
Got a little stalkery for a bit.
Well, to be fair, everyone that meets this guy got stalkery for a bit.
They're like, we lost about 30 4th St. in the green light.
I had 14 people all in the circle.
We don't know how we fucking lost this guy, you know, so and then like all these other S rank guys, they're real fucked up.
They've been hurt and they're just like, oh man, I'm too tired, but I can I'm going to watch this fight and they're broadcasting it.
So everyone's seen when he's made his appearance in his card again, they're just like, who's the cardigan guy?
They're like, it's like the 10th guy.
And I was like, man, I bet they're going to be pissed that he didn't show up in the beginning and then that was a little bit later on.
He beats the Ant, he makes him part of his army and he's just like, you gonna be cool.
And he's just like, he's like, yeah, man, you made me reborn.
I'm I, I will serve with honor.
And he's like, all right, all right, I need you to kill fucking Iron if he gets that hand, OK.
And, and this is the first shadow that can talk too, and 'cause he's he's like general ranked so.
And you're like, all right, cool, cool.
And then he goes back, he's like, hey, feed guy, you got to cut the feed now.
And he's like, OK, He just takes the helmet off, faces it towards a rock.
And I was like, is the audio still running?
Couldn't you flip your little switchy thing that you were fighting so hard to get turned back on in the middle of this fight where it looked like everyone was going to fucking die?
He's like, I better broadcast my death.
And so he takes the healer guy, 'cause she's not even the elixir of life can't fix her, which I was like, damn, we wasted one of our six elixirs of life on this chick and it didn't do nothing.
And he's like, hey, I need everyone to get real cool with everything real quick, OK.
And he raises the healer guy, whose healing abilities for an S Frank healer are really fucking cool.
Actually like really fucking cool.
He heals her like the guy just he materializes, he heals her instantly.
And then the great scene, the the white tiger guy, he's just like, he's like, Hey, I'm sure that you can grow and this this guy would be amazing service to you.
But he he didn't want to be on the battlefield anymore.
And he's like, I can tell his personality just based on how he helped her without me saying a word.
He's like, I'll release him and he just releases him.
And then like he gives them like a knowing look to his his old comrade and it's like, all right.
And then they have a memorial and he's decided he's going to just start his own Guild, which I was like, why do you need your own Guild?
I don't even know whatever, because I'm like, you just want to.
I think he just wants to do his own Guild, the solo.
I think he just doesn't want to have to deal with anyone else.
Like I almost wanted him to replace the Chairman Go, which is such a great name, like Chairman Go.
Like I'm just like so good.
Like if I have a chairman and any story ever, Go is his last name.
Yeah, his little rich friend, he's like.
Abandoned his father, yeah.
'Cause you're you got money.
No, because he turns down his Guild too and they would have paid him a lot of money and he says he's going to hire him so.
But for a while like he thought he was Bros and gin was like.
He was like, you know, I have a brother and he's never treated me like 1.
And he's like, OK, from today on I'll be your brother.
You remember that when they're eating.
Well, yeah, I mean, you have to find it the right timing to make it official, Lindsay.
Like when he's drunk and cooking you beef, you know, you can't just be at the urinal.
But by the way, we're Bros.
And he's just like, this is weird.
We're both just here at the urinal.
And then it sets the stage of like, well, what's going to happen next?
We meet some other blue elf thing, some other very hairy man that's not the dad, but he looks, I mean, he just looks like Conan or not Conan Hercules.
And they show up and they're just like, we smell 1 here and it's alluded there's something bigger going on still.
And then the dad's just on the island too, still with like no pants, no shirt, no service.
And and then like Jin was leaving the memorial service.
He's like, I'm going to start my own Guild.
And then like the teenage girl that's in love with him, that's his sister's age and the new brother, just like we'll start looking for office space.
And then he find he gets a call.
He's like, hey, there's like a gate on a bridge.
And he's like, is it this bridge that I'm on that's backed up?
He's like, fuck it, I'll do it.
He's like B rank, whatever.
I could take it goes through a rank.
He's just like motherfucking fuck.
He's like, all right, let's just do this.
Let's get this traffic over with.
And that's that's where it ends it.
And I thought it was just he's just like on to the next one.
And I was like, oh, easy, DJ Khali, like I don't know if I said his name right, but so overall really good.
Lindsay, is there anything you want to say that I just realized I steamrolled through that and even give you an opportunity.
My apologies, I mean you did a great job chiming in but I I was like I should have really kicked it to her a few Times Now that I've stopped talking.
You were, you've seen that.
Like, I don't even think this was last season.
I think it was the season before.
Yeah, I think you're right.
So it's way fresher in your mind.
There's a fresh 3 hours, you know.
I just remember for a while kind of not liking Jin Wu.
He like, I felt like he got like kind of cold and cocky and I'm like, you're being a Dick man.
But then like after like, you were right that moment with his mom when he was finally like, like, he's he steeled himself to do that.
And so then I'm like, OK.
But then afterwards he kind of went back to being like kind of cock of the walk.
Yeah, and I think, and he starts to recognize like, Oh yeah, he's like, I don't know why I, you know, attract these kind of goofball character 'cause he calls the demon girl like a goofball or something.
And he's like, but, you know, maybe I can, maybe that's just who I'm, I'm best with or whatever is what he says.
And I think that's accurate and stuff.
But I, I do think like that attitude is very much like part of the Korean Society of like, that's how the men are like taught to kind of act.
And I think that like back and forth that he has of it, you know, works.
I do wish that sometimes it would like kind of like, I think the mom humbled them a little bit.
And I think that's why he's like, well, I don't need to fight in this battle, you know, like they're, they should be fine.
No, he's they're not going to be fine.
But so I'm hoping we'll see more of that where he's like, you know, accepts this kind of like leader role and position that he has and that responsibility that comes with it, You know, So because I think there was a spot in the, when he was finding the demon monarch where she was like, who should I, who should I get behind?
You know, like, 'cause obviously she agreed to help him get there and she.
Did that right, Right but it.
Was like, do I go for him or do I go for the demon monarch?
And then the demon monarch was like, I'm going to light up and kill everything that's here, including her.
And she was like, no, all right, I know who I'm picking, you know?
And his moment's like that where it's like he's like the cock of the walk against like really arrogant strong people, but he always helps the weaker people, you know, Like, I think they show that over and over.
And they showed at the start of the season.
But then like, that was a good reminder too, and that he's always there to help, like anyone who's weaker than him.
He he does make it a point.
You know, it's only when you step to him.
But like, Nah, I'm more powerful than you that he's like, all right.
And like that one guy, I'm like, well, we saw his dad decimate that one guy.
I think he can take them.
I ain't worried about him no more.
But overall it's it's really good.
I didn't give out a Super S last time and I know this is from 2 ago, but I'm giving it a super S just because I got I got a spare one laying around over here.
I'm just like, oh, there you go there you go.
And so and anyone who thinks it's like real mid or whatever, I can see that.
But again, I go, this is a Korean storytelling, not a Japanese storytelling.
Yes, it's a Japanese team, but it's still just it has different pacing and stuff.
And I just think overall, you know, whether that's a good thing or bad thing, it's made to watch in one sitting.
Like it's made to watch as a whole, not as individual episodes, but I think the individual episodes are so extremely well paced.
Like a 1 is so good and so mashful.
I kind of wish that I was seeing more from them right now, but I think they just are just kind of doing the opposite of Mapa instead of being like, we're going to kill all of you and do multiple projects.
We're just like, this has been our heart into like one right now.
But and then Mapa is just like crack the whip.
Crack the whip actually reminded me I had something different to talk about on this episode now.
OK All right, Lindsey, what have you been watching?
We're done catching up, everybody.
I hope, he said confidently, not knowing the answer for sure.
Yeah, that was that was Dustin's ketchup room, not corner.
Oh well, how about this monster wants to eat me?
It's what I think of every time, what I think of every time.
I'm just like add out all.
OK, so so the little mermaids following Kinako, right?
She called herself Shiori.
Anyway, she calls herself.
I don't know what we're just saying, but OK.
So she she joins the class and she's like, hey, I'm going to eat you.
Hinako is like, pretty pleased because she's like, finally a loophole.
That's what I've been waiting for.
What was the loophole again?
She's not willing to kill herself.
Yes but she doesn't live as her family died.
They said live Hinako and she's like, well, crap.
About it on your own, this is really long.
But if somebody were to come along and eat me, then hey, problem solved.
I can join my family in heaven and I didn't do anything to shorten my life.
I didn't do it, I just made myself look yumptious.
OK, there's nothing wrong with that.
Just all the time with this wet suit.
With the with her wet suit OK, the.
Amount of this dry skin I got going on underneath here.
I don't know, maybe I just put some.
Back clean in here and I'm just swimming in it.
Got some pretty gnarly skin which is why she wears the wet suit.
What do you mean gnarly skin?
So she's like pre cooked?
It's all like a scarred up and burnt.
So her her family, they were on a little road trip and something happened and the car went off a Cliff somehow.
We saw a goddamn mermaid.
It got set on fire and and thrown out, so she got all burnt.
The mermaid's like, I'll save you guys.
And then just like pissed fire.
And she's like, oh, I forgot, this kills you guys.
She gets thrown out onto the Cliff and then the car just goes into the water and then she watches the car just like on fire and and just sink.
So she's she's a little traumatized.
Yeah, I bet you know, doesn't sound fun.
Especially having that long conversation live for us.
What live for us, I can't hear.
There's fire stuff happening.
That sounded like you gave up on me though.
So Shiori is like, OK, all these little demons are trying to eat you because, you know, you smell so delicious.
She's she's like they're, they're eating lunch.
And the mermaid Shiori is just like watching her.
And she's like, oh, you have pig and cow and leaves.
And she goes, that's that's a salad.
Wait, I'm sorry, what type of what type of salad has pig and cow in?
It she had meatballs, little beef meatballs, and then she had a little hot dog weenies.
You know how they like to cook the little weenies.
OK, so anyways, so she she's like, think about your lunch.
Those pigs and cows, they weren't just slaughtered whenever they were cared for, they were tended to.
They were fed and they were fattened up and they were killed at the just right moment of peak deliciousness.
That's what I'm going to do to.
And she's like, the problem is you want to die, so you kind of stink, so I need you to enjoy life and get out of your little depression bubble.
And then I'm going to eat you.
And so he not goes like kind of pissed.
And she goes, oh, this is on your terms now.
I have to enjoy life before.
You all want to eat me because of how death wanting I am and now you want me to not want death.
Yeah, well, apparently something happened, and I think whatever that little crispy glacier got on her shoulder is what changed, because nobody wanted to eat her before.
OK, yeah, but you mean before the accident?
Before the accident, but after the accident, yeah, she's a little morsel that they all want to eat.
Or just the the death stink on her.
Yeah, they're like, no death stink it.
And so it's like all the lower level yokai would just like, eat her.
But like, you know, the mermaids with a discerning palate, they're like, no.
We need you to enjoy life and be happy and not want to die so you could die, please.
Yeah, I don't like stinky meat.
I want to make octopus weenies out.
So she worried just starts being friends and she makes her go to a festival which was traumatic for her she just tries to pull her out of.
Oh, it's traumatic for wet suit.
Oh, OK 'cause she's like.
What does a mermaid know about fucking festivals?
She's like, no, this is fun.
There's like fireworks, fireworks.
Sorry, I know I really blew out the fire.
She's like, look here, she bought her like a a caramel apple or a candied apple.
And she took like the tiny like I'm like, you didn't get any apple in that bite.
I swear you did not get any apple.
And then she threw it on the ground and ran away.
'Cause we went on the ground and ran away.
Yeah, 'cause Wet Suit was sad, 'cause last time she was at a festival she was with her whole family, and now she's at a festival and everyone's dead and a mermaid's trying to eat her.
I got to do more research on my victims.
Can't be bringing them to festivals where that's the height of their trauma.
Sort simple like a bath house.
But Hinako also has a friend named Miko who is, like, super cheerful and nice and is just, like, always there for her and invited her to the festival first.
And Hinako said, no, that's that's not my thing.
And Miko's like, OK, well, I'll give you space.
I know you've, you've have some trauma.
And that's when Mermaid shows up at the doorstep and she's like, no, hey, you're coming.
And so Miko was at the festival and she did see her there with Shiori.
And she did just run up and like you changed your mind.
I kind of like Miko honestly, but no Miko.
Miko's about to do some red flags.
Everybody OK, I won't, I won't say anything.
And then the next day she acts totally normal and but he not go, oh, she's got a guilty conscience 'cause she's like, Oh no, I thought maybe she had seen me there.
And so she tells the mermaid, hey, don't say anything to Miko.
Mermaid and Miko do not like each other.
It very yeah, like I'm her best friend.
No, I'm her new best friend kind of thing.
So things start coming to a head when Miko is like, come on, you're going to hang out with me, we're going to go eat all this fun food.
And she's just like her normal self.
And Shiori interrupts the party and she's like, I have all the proof I need.
Kinako wetsuit girl, get away from that monster, yes.
Wait, how'd she get the proof?
She snuck into the teachers lounge and went through the student registry, it just says.
Mermaid on the paperwork, like fucking mermaid I didn't want to get.
OK so OK, so mermaid, I forgot this big part here.
OK, so nobody can see monsters except like other monsters and like I guess people who smell really good to monsters like cannot go so whenever they have like creatures.
Because if they get like splattered with blood, because she's always just like killing all the little Caterpillar things that are trying to eat her.
And she's just like, we're covered in blood And she goes, ah, don't worry, it'll burn off.
Nobody's going to see it.
So while they're doing they're cleaning up and wet suit goes to throw the trash away and the mermaid kills another Caterpillar thing.
Yeah, and that's when Nico, the the old best friend, walks up and she's like, Oh my God, what did you do?
And she always like, oh, you can see that something's odd.
So that's why she goes into the office and looks at the student records and finds out that the red headed best friend is a monster.
I get the names are just starting to fucking confuse.
Was the former best friend went to the mermaid.
And went dude and was like.
I love all the evidence that she's a monster.
No, sorry, Mermaid is calling out the old best friend of the monster.
She's a monster trying to eat you, but she's like, no, I would never eat you because I I was.
But then I fell in love with you because your story is so tragic and I just want to protect you now.
But then this fucking mermaid's ruining everything.
Is that where we're going then?
Damn it, she's the opposite.
She wants to eat the hell out of her.
OK, so 1/3 option I can't think of at the.
Moment OK so this this girl Miko old best friend she is AI want to say she's a six tailed fox but I have a feeling she's been eating her own tails so I think she started out as a nine so.
I'm sorry, eating her own.
You can't lead with that then, because that's a very crazy statement that you just made.
So she was a Fox, Yo Kai, and she got beat by a priest, a little Buddhist priest, and he wrapped her in red beads so that she had to, she couldn't hurt people anymore.
And so very begrudgingly, for a couple 100 years, she's been helping people.
And she at first she was like, there's I killed all the monsters.
So they're not even the people anymore.
And then like people started like being nice to her.
They're like, Oh my God, thank you.
And they started like bringing her food and stuff.
And then it kind of turned into like she was like a local deity.
And then they started like they built a little shrine for her and they started praying to her.
And she's not really a God though.
She's just, she's a monster.
But she started, you know, it, it started touching her heart a little bit.
And wet suit girl and her family frequently went to the shrine and prayed.
So she knew she knew the girl before she was ever born.
Actually, they knew the family.
And the day of the car accident was when they went and they prayed.
We're like, oh, we're going on a trip.
Let's let's pray to her for safety.
She couldn't stop anything from happening.
Yeah, she's just like on the couch watching TV.
She's like, oh fuck, that's what.
So I think she she was the one who found her and saved her and like brought her back and then all.
And so then she turned herself into like a little human and kind of manipulated her memories that, oh, she's always been here.
She's always been my best friend.
And he would be the one who was like, come on, let's go to school.
Like she was just like always showing up for her.
And she did that because she felt so guilty about the whole family dying that she couldn't let anything happen to wet Suit Girl because what, what had already happened to the people that she cared about was just too awful.
So it's it's kind of like out of love.
So she started biting off her own tails because the month because her blood tastes very good or smells really good.
So to stop her from ever attacking Wetsuit Girl herself, she bites off her own tails to decrease her powers.
Yeah, that's still gross and weird.
I feel like there's some sort of like.
Symbolism there that I don't want to.
And so wet suit girl said that the one regret she would have being eaten by the mermaid would be that she would leave the fox girl all alone because she goes, ah, it's just she's so like, people love her and she always, she never says no.
She's like involved in so many activities at school because she can't ever say no to helping people because she's not allowed to say no to helping people.
She's like coming to school has been the worst day of my life but people just won't stop asking for shit all the time.
So if you could hurry up and get eaten by someone.
So the fox and the mermaid fight a little bit and.
So now she's got 2 monster best friends.
And then of course she stops them and she's like, no, this this fox really is my friend.
She unlike you mermaid, who's very self-serving and you only be nice to me so you can eat better.
This monster is a genuinely good monster, and I can't stand by and let you kill her.
And she's like, of course, fox girl, we're going to be friends, but I'm not going to tell you.
But yeah, so they kind of do an uneasy alliance where?
And because then she goes, oh, I was wondering who was fighting off all the demons that were coming after her before I got here.
And the fox is like, yeah, I've been doing it her whole life.
And then they were like, well, why?
Why didn't you want to eat her before?
And she goes, oh, no, I've known her since she was born.
She did not smell like this till after that car crash.
And so they're like, huh, what's going on here?
Some sort of third demon perhaps?
So when it left off, they went to she because she can't say no.
She the fox girls like the manager of the basketball team and she has to go to some training camp and she goes come with me, it'll be fun.
So they went to help out and there's some other really weird lady around and the mermaids like something's weird about this girl.
This isn't going to be good for for wet suit.
Something's something that.
And she was, she was sitting, she was waiting to go in the bath because she doesn't want anyone to see her because her skin's all, all pretty gnarly.
So she didn't want to take a bath with anyone.
So she was kind of waiting.
And that's when the nice looking lady, I guess, shows up and she goes, oh, you're here all alone.
And then she gets a really creepy smile on her face.
And that, of course, is the end of the episode.
But one thing I thought was really.
That's where you're leaving us too.
Yes, that's where I got left.
I want to know what happens that's.
So I'm enjoying the show.
Mika's like cute and adorable and like the bracelet that the the monk bound her with.
When she's in her human form it's always like around her wrist, and then when she's the demon form it's like wrapped around her muzzle.
Where is it wrapped when she's eating her own tail 'cause that part is not it's.
In her mouth it's so it's like it's like wrapped around her, her jaw, like her bottom jaw, so she can still open and eat stuff.
She just has like a necklace in her mouth while she's eating things.
She's like, it took me 100 years to move it down there.
She's a very talented fox.
Yeah, it's just the tail thing that I can't move past, you know, eating.
Her tail, Yeah, it's a sacrifice.
Like, yeah, it's still gross, Lindsay.
So the the episode that what that ended with her turning into her real form had a a different ending theme song, completely different, and it was all about Miko and she was just like all cute and and bouncy and and eating stuff and just being like a wonderful person the whole the whole time.
I was like, oh, you're so cute.
So yeah, that's it so far.
The animation and the character designs are really pretty.
And even when she's like cuz she hasn't full on, you haven't seen her in her full on mermaid form yet.
She usually just transforms an arm and then her face starts getting scaly.
But they've even said they're like they're like, this isn't western mermaids.
She is a Japanese mermaid.
Have you ever seen a Japanese mermaid?
Yeah, that's why I'm just living it vicariously through you.
And now you got this fox eating its tails and I'm like, I'm a kid and.
It's a, it's kind of a gnarly looking fox.
I'm like, I probably wouldn't want to.
So they really lean into the monster part.
Oh, and then one time they went to the beach and all these like hands were sticking out and like waving and they're like all dead and rotted and he knocked was like what is that?
And she goes, oh, that's just humans that died at sea and have regrets.
And she goes see anyone you recognize Jesus.
Like if you do I'll I'll learn to sure.
So you could say hi to your dead family.
Wow, just a real, real sweetheart.
Yeah, that's that's grotesque as well.
Oh oh the Fox is my favorite voice actor.
She's the busiest working.
Well, I like her, she's a good character.
She's the busiest working person ever.
And then she better make it out of this.
Wait, she's in the fucking?
She's in the tojama wants to be AK Rider, which is why I had to say it that way.
Not a monster, but she's one of the Yeah, I.
All right, back to you, Dustin.
Well, Lindsay, we, we had plans, you know, You, you, me, a friend of ours.
I'm not going to spoil it for you, but I saw the Chainsaw Man movie and Lindsay.
They better not do a demon Slayer and make those episodes because it won't make any fucking sense.
Hey, when are we going to watch the Demon Slayer movie?
I'm just going to watch the season.
That's what they've done with all the other ones.
Anyway, back to Chainsaw Man.
OK, first of all, they abandoned the whole full CGI thing that they were doing.
Like, I don't know, they it just, it looks a bit different.
OK, It's a fantastic story.
I just, I feel like that's just indicative of Chainsaw Man.
But I just, I love this world and this idea of like, you know, you're you're the this devil and the future devil and all this stuff.
I just, I think it's really, really cool.
Power is basically taken out of the story, rightfully so.
She has, she has no place in this, this episode or in this story arc.
He is minimal, but he's there.
He's involved but at key parts, if that makes sense.
And and he has a new fiend partner and it's the Angel guy.
So and he's just like, I don't think I could, I don't think it could work with this fucker.
But it's just this is really good, Lindsey.
I'm I'm looking forward to seeing it and then we can fully talk about it.
But I just wanted to, you know, say that it is really good.
And if it's still in the theaters, you should just go see it.
You know, just just go see it.
So I mean, it's been like a month now, so I don't know how much longer it's going to be in the theaters, but you should go see it.
The theater I did see it in had annoying people.
There's a guy just like watching, I'm pretty sure hentai in the theater at full volume.
My gosh, I was just like watching while.
We were waiting for the movie to start and there was 27 minutes of previews.
So I timed it because I was just like, Jesus Christ, if I see one more fucking trailer.
I mean, it was really good.
There was a trailer for a movie called Scarlet that could be OK.
It's from a director that we've never watched a movie of theirs.
I've seen their movies, but I've never been like, oh, that looks interesting enough to watch.
But but yeah, that's, I mean, that's all I'll say.
It's just, it's really good.
I can understand why everyone like does loves Reza and the fan art for Reza and I yeah, I understand it.
Where she in season 1 or is?
But the movie's called the Reza arc, so.
You need that name at least so.
Like when the first season ended, I saw nothing but fan art for her, and I was just like, who the fuck's that character?
And now I'm like, oh, I see why?
I see why yeah, there was one cool thing of animation where they basically kind of copied the the manga, which the manga is like, I don't know if you Remember Me talking about how like people hated the animation and they did a petition to redo it.
They were like redo the whole season and make it look like the manga because it's a very like I'd say like Doro.
Doro is more in line with a.
Doro Hedora, there we go.
I was like, I knew I said it wrong, but thank you for correcting me.
I was like, correct me, damn it, so I can move on.
It kind of looks more in line with that of that like kind of grimy, grungy used look and stuff and just way more dynamic art.
But yeah, it was really good.
So do you have something else you need to talk about?
I do have one more thing.
OK, I have one more after that that won't be too long either, so.
Well, I teased it last time.
I don't remember last time.
With you, our love, we'll make it through.
That's the one with the beast person.
OK, you should have led with this.
Obviously it's it's a commentary on.
I think it's probably dating outside your.
Yes, probably is the is the thing I'm this.
But it's pretty saucy, so, OK, so of course I think I left off.
They were pinned up in in that thing and he was really kind of licking her a lot.
And she's like, Oh no, he's gonna eat me.
But the nice guy had overheard the mean kids and he went and rescued them before anything untoward happened.
But he's like, you know what?
Let's be friends, the three of us.
And like they stopped the bullies from the.
They stopped the bullies from throwing out his textbooks.
And he's like, OK, we could be friends, but he's like, but I can't be friends with her.
Oh, no, I'm going to call him Yuki.
OK, OK, Because yeah, his.
You just call him his name.
Well, his name's Yukihiro.
And so he's like, would you guys quit saying Yuki?
It sounds like you're calling me.
Like come here, boy, come here, come here.
Boy, they start calling him Yukihiro, but Yuki's just easier.
OK, So Yuki is like, no, no, no, no.
She's an integral part of this trio and she wants to be friends with you.
We all want to be friends and have a great high school experience.
I'm going to go to pound town on her if you leave her in this group.
So we're going to figure this out.
So you're going to come to my house?
Oh boy, I'm going to leave conveniently to.
Get ready, we'll lock you in the room.
And you guys are going to figure out your limits.
Does this guy have any idea what he's doing?
Outside beating his meat, too.
He's just like, and he's, he's listening, right?
Lord, and then he just starts hearing a lot of licking and panting.
He's like, maybe I should check, maybe I should.
Does get concerned his little brothers are around and they're like no the beast man's scary don't go in there and they start like pulling him away from the door so that he can't save her.
But anyway, so they just kind of start.
That's a that's that's for the gentleman.
OK, that I guess is pana Lingus.
My head started to get fuzzy.
I'm just doing the best I can here, Lindsay, you know?
So at first they're just kind of talking.
I mean, did we really need a gender specific term like that for, you know.
Alicia is way funnier to say.
Anyway, continue with the cunnilingus.
They eventually start touching each other, you know, a pat on the head and she wants to feel his fur.
And it's, things start getting a little heated.
And he's basically, he's saying he's, he's going into heat, which isn't unusual for beast people, but it's never happened to him before.
And it's past a mating season, which I guess is in February and March, which is why beast people don't go to school until April because normally the school year starts in March.
And so, yeah, he's like, yeah, that's why we're late because we're getting it on.
Dumping the tank out and refilling it.
He, he starts just licking her again and kind of pushes her on the bed.
And then he like picks up her thigh and he starts licking and then nibbling at it and it turns all red.
And she's like, uh oh, I think things are going too far.
And then he like flips her over and she's like, yeah, things are going too far.
And she goes, OK, time out.
And he's like, OK, I will.
And then that's when Yuki finally comes back in.
Why are you on your stomach?
So they're like, OK, yeah, I she's.
Like I think I'm allergic to them.
Look, I broke out instantly.
Look at the spot in my inner thigh.
He was like, you're where?
So then they, they, they hang out.
Oh, he scores higher than anybody else on their test.
And one of her friends gets really angry because she has to be #1 and if she's not number one, her parents won't let her write.
So she starts saying beast people suck and throwing her story off of the roof.
And of course, God, I don't remember the beast guy's name.
Sunagu I think is his last name.
But he he hops over and easily collects all the pages and he's like, here you go.
And she goes, you can't read that story.
And he goes, this is just trash.
And then she realizes, oh, these people aren't that bad after all.
And she's like, well, I'm not going to be friendly, friendly friends, but I'm going to stop being mean to him.
That's not spray painting you suck on your every morning.
And I'm trying to remember they they go on an an outdoor date where they go to a dog park.
The three of them, The Three Musketeers.
Yeah, they go to a dog park.
Why are the three of them on a date?
Well, they're just hanging out outside of IS.
It's a total love triangle.
He's just using the beast man to get close to her.
Yeah, he kind of, well, he's getting close to her.
He he realizes how sweet and kind she is and that he's falling for her.
But he has a feeling she likes him and he catches them making out at the dog park.
Why did you take a dog man to a dog park?
It gets really jealous and so at the end so when they're.
Leaving out with that snout they're.
Yeah, that's kind of like I get that it's a metaphor or an allegory or.
Nice, I'm having a hard time with that imagery and now the science of it all is working without it.
Just seem like you're licking your dog's mouth.
Oh, and then a couple times, yeah, she just, when she likes him, 'cause she likes him clearly, and she starts, her heart starts going doki, doki.
And I guess it sends off some sort of pheromone that makes his heart go doki doki and.
So they do have a couple close calls like that.
And then they actually finally kiss and she's like, I like you.
And he goes, yeah, but we can't be together.
You should be with just a normal guy and then normal guy their friend.
He's like normal guy here.
Her You guys just left me with the dog and so.
Be fair, we didn't want to come here.
You brought a dog man to a dog park.
Like OK, OK, Dustin, Dog or beast people are only allowed at certain places in the city, so they can't like go hang out in the mall dog.
It's next to the library.
Are they allowed at the library?
Yes, they're allowed at the library.
They they were allowed at the dog park because I guess it's right next to the library.
Is it a lot of stuff right next to other stuff?
Can you just buy that logic?
Be like, well, we're allowed.
Of these six buildings around the library, one of them is a roller rink.
So so she she, she takes her dog and goes home and it's just the two guys and Yuki is like, so you guys like each other, huh?
And the dog guys, like, yeah, you like her too, huh?
And he goes, I could smell it on you.
Jesus calling me out like that.
And he's like, well, that's really not very fair.
I had to ask questions and be polite and you could just smell me.
Like that's a little embarrassing, but he just.
So then they're like, you know what he's like, I'm kind of not interested in stepping aside.
And dog guys like, you know what, I was going to step aside, but now that you're jealous, I'm kind of not interested in stepping aside either.
Let's be love, rivals and who?
It sounds like they want to fuck now.
And and the friend Yuki, I his clothes are just.
But oh, I was like, that's your leisure wear.
Yeah, the dog guys out dressing you.
We've seen that so many times in anime.
Like I just don't know if the animators can dress themselves either.
I know I'm like is this the style?
Like, I'm pretty sure they're just getting women's fashion magazines, but like, all right now, the girl's dressed and then they go to the guy.
They're just like, I don't know, so put some writing on AT shirt, I guess, and make it purple and then his pants green and you're just like, what the fuck?
Did we lose color theory?
He's wearing like one of those baggy sweatshirts, but it ends like at his elbow and then he's wearing like a skin tight shirt underneath it.
And then he's like wearing, like, his pants are rolled up and he's got like, sandals on.
And it's just like, ah, that's not a good outfit.
I don't know, I'm curious.
So so then it's the Sports Festival and.
Oh God, there's more after we're.
Pretty sure they just said they were.
They were love rivals and spitting each other.
Jerked each other off behind the library and then went.
Yeah, they kept fighting over her during the the sports festival she had.
How is he going to be the dog man?
He, of course, she cheered for him and he won the race.
And then there was like he.
I think he won everything and just like 2 steps boop boop.
They're just like how this isn't fair.
And then she was in the three legged race with him, with Yuki, and he's like, just concentrate on me right now.
And so like, she wasn't like she was thinking about him.
But then at the end he was like, we won.
And it was because you were thinking of me in this moment and just concentrating on being my partner.
And she goes, Oh yeah, I know.
I was thinking about the odd guy and thinking about, you know.
What listening off of his dog abs and heading him.
Later and then the the clincher.
I shouldn't say that it's an allegory.
That's an allegory that it's so hard not to just see the bestiality happening in the way that they've chosen to present and.
Pack and they're they're going to bring in a cat girl because I've seen her in the the opening song.
She 8 feet tall though, just.
She's like a chubby cat too.
They're just like, oh God, did she have like the smashed meth face that.
You're like bro she's real mouth breather.
Every when I was late for school start smoking.
They're like how old is this cat girl?
She's pretty old, yeah, but then got long to live the.
Kind that just had the ears and the tail.
She's got like the nose and the mouth that just like he's like a bad guy.
Like, Miss, we're trying to teach.
I just, it helps me calm my nerves.
They're just like, oh God, this fucking cat. 1st we started.
Making Why did we make these abominations?
They it was the end of the OR towards the end of the Sports Festival and she like had gone up to the classroom to get an extra towel.
I think yes, 'cause she was all sweaty and she gave her towel to the, the dog guy.
And so she, she goes up there and he followed the dog guy follows her and they're, they're just like chit chatting, 'cause she's like, how did you like your first festival?
And he's like, well, it's really loud out there 'cause you know, he has sensitive beast man hearing.
And somehow I think her heart went Doki Doki.
Like you want a bag right here there's.
Another gnocchi and he grabs the the curtain and just kind of like pulls it over the window and they start sucking face.
That's where they left us.
I just did not need that imagery right at the end.
Again, Lindsay imagery I'm battling with on how logistically it works.
And you're just like, and that's where they leave it again.
And it's like great, cool, fantastic.
Well, it's just a little steamy, but I mean, I guess the, the, the whole idea behind it is, you know, they love each other for who they are and not appearances, but they're.
Yeah, they're not hormone.
Recognized by society kind of thing.
I get that that's what they want, but they still chose to package it as bestiality.
And it's very, it's not just like a guy with ears and a tail he's.
That doesn't matter to her.
It doesn't matter because she's seen that dog Dick and she's like, yeah, I don't.
Think she's quite seeing it yet.
But she's seen them abs well.
I got to switch gears and hopefully like this will be a good palate cleanser for everyone.
Your palate needs to be cleansed.
Yeah, it's just the it's just the dog making out.
Yeah, that's what I'm just thinking.
Like just like the wet nose touches and you're like, no, I'm out, I'm out, I'm out.
Instantly start doing the side tongue thing out of their mouth and they're like, Nah, gross.
I don't know how to say his name.
The it's the massage one.
Yeah, he's doing massages and sports medicine.
I think I watched the 1st 2.
So now after the first one, now we're just doing 2 episodes per character.
Get some, get some motivation.
So second part of the, I don't remember what sport she plays, but he goes and he makes her some rose tea and they're going to do another massage to loosen her up, you know, and she's, she's the one that's like, I'm going to make him fall in love with me.
So she takes her top off while he's gone and he comes back, he's like, why do you have your top off?
We're massaging your legs.
Like what are what are you doing?
She's like, what do you have a problem with this?
He's just like, and he's like, OK, she's trying to like get me to react so she can get me fired.
So I got to just not react.
And so we do some, you know, some topless massaging.
'Cause she just wanted, she just wants to mess with guys and make them fall in love with her.
I don't know, that's her motivation.
OK, so the tea makes her sweat so she's sweaty.
He's, you know, rubbing her hammies the right way and stuff.
And then he's like pushing his body into her, you know, to stretch the leg.
So there's like some, some contact and friction in that area and she starts moaning and stuff.
And then this other girl who has like 1 eye covered in purple hair and a purple eye, she's like at the door.
And they're just like, can we help you?
And she was like, no, you guys can continue having sex.
And they're like, we're not having sex.
And she has a notebook and she's just been writing and stuff now.
Yeah, she's like, I'm just observing and such fake.
And we find out it's because she, she wants to be a manga artist.
So he starts to talk to her, 'cause he's like, I don't, I don't wanna.
He's, like, starts to talk to her, 'cause he wants to make sure she's not gonna, like, turn in everything and say it.
He's like, he just wants to clear it up.
He's like, we were, we weren't having sex.
I was giving, I was stretching her.
Oh, steamy, steamy manga, you know, I mean, and that's what he sees.
He sees her drawing some stuff that she saw in the room kind of.
And he's just like, what?
And he's like, I thought you were a swimmer.
And she's like, oh, I am, but I'm going to give it up and I'm just going to do manga.
He's just like, he's like, why are you giving up swimming?
And basically she has lost her like her nerve because she's so afraid of disappointing everyone.
She does really bad at the meats, but in practice she's like breaking world records and shit.
And everyone's just like she's the, she's the Olympic hope of the our future and everything.
And so he's like, I can't let her quit because then I'm going to lose my scholarship because they said all of them have to, you know, be in peak condition and graduate from the school for me to get my medical ride.
So he's like, OK, so he starts like watching her at swim meets and stuff and she's got another one coming up and he's just like, he's like, I know what your problem is.
You need your Shuska rubbed or something.
I forget what he calls it, but I'm going to call it the Shuska because it started with an S and I don't know the name.
And he's like, do you want to live?
Like, do you want to swim?
Do you like swimming still?
She's like, I love swimming.
And she's like, she just is tired of the disappointment.
So it's right before her meet, like right before, which I don't think is the appropriate time to get a massage because you've had a massage, Lindsay, you're kind of tired, you're dehydrated.
I don't think anyone's been like loud.
Yeah, like, let's go swim.
But his whole thing is like, you got to relax these chicks, you know, they're all get relaxing through the power of massage.
And then it'll be amazing at sports, really.
And he learned this from his mom, this whole massaging art.
It's the, the message I took is that women perform better after an orgasm.
That's what I'm learning.
That's 100% what I think that the story is telling us.
So she's like, OK, do it.
So he starts giving her a massage and he's just like, all right, I'm going to, I'm going to get in there.
And she's like still in her swimwear or whatever.
And oh, going back to the other massage real quick, the animators couldn't decide if they wanted her to have her underwear on or not.
So they kept the scenes, kept jumping where I was like underwear, no underwear, No wonder.
And I was just like, make up your mind, guys.
Like clearly someone drew one part and was like, another person was like, oh, we're putting underwear on.
And then the other person didn't get the memo and they're like, ah, fuck it, no one will notice.
And I was like, I noticed.
So this girl, she's in her swimwear, she didn't want to take it off.
And so he's like, all right, you're going to rub your shuska, which I feel is probably a real word that I shouldn't be saying, though.
Oh well, anyway, some sort of Russian that Lindsay's going to find now and be like, it's you're staying clam biscuit.
No, no, no, it's not on her back, Lindsay.
No, that's like your, her leg goes up your, your sciatic nerve.
Yeah, go up the back of your leg and across her butt.
Yeah, I'm bet it goes across here like back area.
That's where most people feel that anyway.
We're not here to discuss the sciatica, OK?
Her Shuska is in her breast area.
OK, it's like a full fucking biology class.
Aortas, aortas, areolas, there we go.
Not a good biology class.
No one's coming here to learn actual biology, Lindsay.
All right, You're talking about dogmen making out the.
Aorta is like a valve in your heart.
Well technically I'm not wrong there either because he's rubbing that area too.
The pursuit goes around the areolas.
So he's like rubbing and she's just like, are you giving me 1/2 ass massage?
Because if I'm going to go full steam ahead of this, you got to give it to me, right?
And he's just like, all right.
And he so he just starts pumping them titties, Lindsay.
He isn't just pumping and milking and moving and shaking.
And I was just like, this is less of a massage and more of just like he's just or play with the nipples, you know.
And so he makes her orgasm.
We introduce the vice chairman, president person and she's like, what happened in them in that that locker room?
Because then she's like, I'm going to go, I'm going to go swim, going to swim my heart out.
She wins and he's like, he's like, I just gave her a massage.
I just rubbed the shuska and she's like, they should have no problem rubbing my Shuska and he's so he's like, OK, fine, I'll rub your Shuska.
But then they they're like, hey, her meat's about to start.
She's like, you got lucky this time, kid.
And he's just like, OK, sure.
And I was just like, he's going to rub her good.
He's going to give her all the massages.
She's the final boss of the massages, so, and that's as far as I am in it.
But yeah, it's hot, it's steamy, it's got full on nips.
You know, when they're not covered by a swim.
Well, the when he starts rubbing, the clothes kind of disappear.
Anyways, that's why it was weird that the underwear kept popping on and off, on and off 'cause they, they couldn't decide like wait, is this the she's orgasming or just the rubbing part?
So, but yeah, it's, it's hot.
It's just basically pornography.
So just a lot of like e-mail pleasuring, you know, which I'm OK with.
And I think a lot of people are probably OK with that.
That that is how you leave them.
Quincy writing down a name, hands off, and looking up Shashuska, which I swear to God is probably a food or something.
It's something I stole that from.
I took that from somewhere.
And it definitely doesn't mean what I'm saying.
And someone's going to know or hear me say that and be like, why does he keep saying that?
That's embarrassing for him.
And I'll be like, most things are.
I mean, I just said Areolas or aortas.
Anyway, so that is the end of this episode.
