I've been keeping up with lot which well Should I spoil it for people? I mean it took a really disgusting turn today. That's all you have to say but I mean we'd now move from just low-lie territory to low-lie incest territory, so Potential I should say they haven't done anything yet and they may never do anything much like Komodo no jinke But it's gotten truly strange even for Japanese anime And then I've been I've still watching a little bit of tiger and bunny. I'm not up to all the episodes that have been released on that yet Keeping up with See the money in the soul or whatever, which is still absolutely awesome Though the animation quality on the second episode took an absolute nosedive It was unbelievably ridiculous And then oh caught up on three or four episodes of last exile, which I hope to be able to review soon and re-watching a little bit of Shoot hold on show the show that you watch that you really really liked with the crazy guy who are coding yes There we go.

Yeah Another show that we'll get a review eventually Is is a harem of samurai's I mean if he doesn't please them do they beat him up or I only watch the first episode, but Get this riveting plot Kid who lives on the mountains who's the samurai and he's strong He walks around with a wooden sword because you know, he's only a samurai in training he He has to go live in the city for the first time with four cousins and And he is we're all female. Yeah, so of course of course and so he's supposed to meet them at a mall and he gets in the hijinks and he grabs one of their boobs by accident somehow and He could fall and another gets a panty shot in his face because he falls on her and It's just no, it's wacky hijinks Yeah, it's one of them Why I'm watching it. Well, I don't know. I've been in this kick of fighting anime. I got through Episode 26 of Kenichi. I'm really liking it now. I still need to say the eggs the Ultimate yeah, whatever world strongest disciple. Yeah, you're actually enjoying that it's gotten it's grown on me It's still it's still say 50 episodes is way too freaking long But I mean it is what it is. I mean it seemed it sounded like just a you know Shoot daniel son clone Well, here's the gift me off though isn't that flex was cool and they they are streaming the first half of the season So the first 26 episodes So I threw the second I threw the second part dis you know dislike you know second part second season part one in my queue and There's a really long wait for them to show up So that kind of sucks and they don't even have the fourth. They even have the final the final two discs or what's the final? remainder of it So I don't get that away. Yeah, I didn't get that. I was like what in the world Netflix has been doing that lately though. We're like I remember they had the Gundam It was one of the Gundam movies I was watching Gundam seed maybe I Don't remember. It was a macho and I think it was Gundam related. It was only three episodes There was four no it was four episodes that made up this movie and They were only streaming the first half and then they didn't even have the DVDs for rent To finish it off. So it's like what am I supposed to do? I? Mean I thought about I've looking right stuff. They're only 1799 each and they're in you know all four of them I'll be like forty something dollars But this is gonna be one of those shows that I'm gonna watch it. I'm gonna review it or Whatever, and I'll never watch it again This isn't one of those shows. I was like. Oh my god. I'll show this to everybody. You know, you know Right just stinks Yeah, so I kind of Make sure and lot before I start something because well, you know, I don't know. I just it's just irritating but That's about all of it. I mean I've been watching a lot, but I mean just a lot of it just seems like a big jumble mesh I mean I've been watching my ordinary life. That's kind of blood. It's just kind of there Actually to bring my list of what I'm watching Oh, I watched a ton of my uh woman Aquamist. I'm on 36 Now you're still watching the not as good one. So where are you up to 36? Okay. What's going on? I Don't remember stuff Although I know I plowed through like ten of them in one night Have you have they killed any of the homaculae yet? No, okay? They're like Still going every scar or something gotcha like they're just ending that like I Don't know Yeah, he is not watching brotherhood. So unfortunately the way they killed the homaculae is not nearly as cool Whatever, but yeah, that's what I'm watching. So let's just go and get into the news cuz I got all ready I don't know right now. I mean just because I have one jumble mess of I'm watching it. I'm enjoying it, but nothing really Jumps out like oh my god. This is kind of see it kind of deal. Well, let's see Okay This week in anime news brought to you by anime news network See is good, but still I think it does a poor job of really explaining itself like I don't need like a plot, but I mean just like The thing I don't mind about see is just like No, it's not a battle and they're like micro micro free ziz this that's like what the fuck does any of this mean? But they just put English in there because they could because they're like hey, this will sound cool Yeah, I I want to know that too, and I hope it it does have some economic Symbolism going on there. I think it does so far if it doesn't then I'm gonna be upset and not like the show as much But I'm in mezzoflation. Come on. That sounds too much like an economic term not to be purposely that way but We can hope I don't know. Maybe it doesn't have anything to say and you know It's frickin avatar or whatever he fights looks like she's 12 and is wearing like Well, she's a demon of some sort. Well, yes, she does she looks like she's 12, but it's anime She's probably 30 And she's not human so it doesn't matter exactly and and then of them have done anything in any remotely sexual at all yet So hopefully they won't yeah, but the North American anime licensor sintai film works Revealed at its kawi con panel, which I love that.

It looks like nevermind So yeah, save your money for better stuff coming out later. There you go Done and done. What's our what the fuck of the week this week? Well, we have three. How long is it gonna give you to choose one? We could have you know, japan telling people not to kick grenades Um, yeah, it looks like that one. That's kind of weird being upset with the french for disaster joce Hey, come on. That would be upset too Oh, no, I think those jokes were not too bad, but or the kon camera that will you take a picture will automatically insert a kon picture into it Yeah, no, we'll just do the kicking, the first one. Oh, come on. The kon one was just so ridiculous But all right, so evidently if this will actually load there has been a rise in um Crimes using grenades in japan just being japan A a crime. I don't know So they have released a um A warning sign about grenades now Basically saying that if you see a grenade don't step on it. Pick it up or kick it Which you know, um, the word no shit comes to mind among other things Um And sakura complex is not going to come up now because it knows i'm just going to give them free publicity and they just don't want it Definitely well, obviously Enough problems. Well, maybe they just decided to step on a grenade. I don't know there you go But yes, it's you know, don't step on grenades. Don't kick them. Don't pick them up and uh Yeah Well, you know, I'm sorry if you needed that as a warning. There's there's something wrong with you Yeah Well, here's where I don't get is last night I was listening to the ancast They had a really really really really interesting interview with with a guy who was originally from my name was Zuri He went over to Japan in the 80s after height. He went over there as a transfer student And then went to college as a journalist or He basically got he became a a crime beat reporter. He was the first like Gaijin over there to become you know on the on the biggest paper in Japan Basically, and he worried he did all the crime beat stuff But he got interested in the Yakuza and all that. He knows like all the Yakuza stuff He wrote a book that it's recently just came out Called tokyo vise. I'm really interested in reading it and then I read this and I was like really because I guess the Yakuza I was some kind of code of honor like we will not kill We don't like to kill to begin with but we won't hurt civilians and things of that nature And they said you can actually If would say a lower level guy like what say someone throws a game at you and that blows your heart your arm off and there's a video of this you can take the Boss of the yakuza that yakuza organization to court for damages and you'll probably win That's pretty hilarious because the yakuza are actually registered with the police departments and stuff. They're a They're not like hidden. They're not secret They're open you can go find where we are the organized crime and we're going to tell the police where we are Yeah, because they also see themselves as people who benefit society Are they enough? Yeah Okay This is weird This is interesting. Go listen to the latest and cast I'm going to play the late podcast. I read something and um a search for wow or the lady that lived in japan for a year and You know, they had in some of their Shrines and things like that when they would have Ceremonies. I mean the yakuza would participate in the ceremony. Yeah, and it was like Wait, what one of the big things now is Us as possible. They've been keeping order in peace in the areas affected by the earthquake Yeah, that's I read that too and I'm like really really But yeah, I'm gonna check. I'm just gonna read that book. I was really fascinated by the interview and They actually said that um in the thing that will never come up on saying i could complex now Evidently two two yakuza mishandled a grenade and blew themselves up while they were trying to throw it at a um rival yakuza's house at one point Evidently the yakuza have not gotten very intelligent. Apparently not. Okay, but All right, so you're gonna review something absolutely wonderful today that you unbelievably loved. Oh, yeah, it was great So When this originally came out We were like hey, this is trash And when we found out that funimation licensed it We were beside ourself. We talked shit about it Rightfully so well we did. Yes. I don't know what we found out about it. What what shit what show is this? We're talking Yeah, it was a martial arts No, I don't remember making fun of it, but I probably did. Yeah, remember we talked about how we looked about watch the trailer together And we saw how their pants are ripping off from like looking at it. Yep. Never mind. Yeah, I remember this now. This was bad. Yes so On Netflix they have this show airing you watch all five episodes And uh, you know, it's a quick show. We're only 20 minutes a piece So I sat through this in one sitting Well, yeah, this show delivers what it promises Girls that I think and things will occur um so basically Uh, show us a level It's no VA. It's five episodes of automation. You can like say get on fun even get on Netflix now so basically it's one of those girl named Ayah She's walking home with her best friend not sue me and they come upon two girls for teenage girl and a She's dressed as a priestess and this like flight attendant fighting in this street And priestess enough flight attendant. Yes, they're just fighting for no reason Wow, they're talking stop about martial hearts and things and for whatever reason I had decided to get in to intervene And help the priestess out Not the co-on now not the um um Not the other lady. No, not the flight attendant. Not the flight attendant. My gosh flight attendant is way into her gimmick. She's just over the flight attendant. You know, she is into her gimmick. She She is like, oh the passenger, please slide your trays up Oh, we're gonna take off and then she'll do like a crazy like punch. I don't know It's ridiculous. So Basically, she helps beat up and she retreat. She's like, oh, this isn't over. I'm going away now So the flight attendant lady runs away So we find out that they're fighting over this thing called the martial heart And It's a gem. They basically Each fight they get a little segment on the gem and they have to fight to the death And this is a secret apparently So keep that in mind They're supposed to be secretly fighting due to death to the death and And every time you win your battle you get a small segment on the gem And they don't even tell you how many how many uh They don't even tell you how many fighters the one there's like, yeah, he has another fight go fight this person at this location and uh They end up going out for burgers And we find out yeah, and she's so hungry because she was fighting the priestess was fighting so much that she orders a shit ton of burgers and like eats them and They become friends. They're like, we're gonna be friends forever Until you have to fight me. No, no So her name is uh miko And she's like, oh, we're gonna be friends forever, right? Because her wish was to have friends That was her ultimate wish. She's gonna murder people so she can have friends so Yeah So basically they go back to my miko's house and they're like, oh, here's some chain. They're Here's some cell phone straps for friends for life Everyone's happy They leave not sue me go through her way um, I out goes her way and you know miko goes her way and Well, I is walking home the The the her cell phone rings And she gets a text message saying you've been invited to the martial hearts Because miko's wish has been granted. She has friends So she no longer has to be in the she no longer has to be in the tournament So she gets put in her place So when she's walking home She gets jumped by the flight attendant lady hahahaha Fight to the death exactly so They got a fight so they fight each other And you know, they'll even get to choose if you want to be in this. No, that's the other thing They're going what didn't even ask to be a part of this. I just got an email sent her a text message saying I was and now i'm fighting people and um So Beautiful. Yeah, so they fight And they're doing like a palm thrust and the shirt will rip open And they'll do like a front leg kick to like her hip In the back of a dress will show where we're off And You know, they are going to be beaten up because their top falls off and they're brought their boobs are exposed That's the killing blow when your top falls off you're done for So the after some You know usual bullshit talking of arm to do this and that Aya wins And she's like, all right She actually kills the flight attendant lady kills the flight attendant My goodness and her wish will never be granted. So Well, yeah, no because she's dead exactly so aya was upset. She's like, I don't want to do this I want to kill people for a wish And she was what I don't even want to wish for anyway So she's worried so she goes back to miko's house to try to talk to her about this And miko is nowhere to be found The her her house is rammed her her little room is ramsacked And the burgers are on the floor And she's nowhere to be found So she goes and gets a police officer And the room is sparkling clean. It's empty like no one's been there and the The monk says, I've never had anyone here in the last six months. I don't know what you're talking about.

She shows up the teacher shows up in MMA gloves in knee pads and the MMA gloves and knee pads glow and she can yell out Periodic tables and they become they show the symbols on the gloves and the knee pads and apparently carbon dioxide and oxygen form a fighting move, but they don't tell you They just go, oh, well, there's two there's number twos in the sea Let me just mean two left punches or something So she like yells out like carbon dioxide and then starts beating her ass. It's awful Oh my god That is I thought of you As a chemist, um, oh Carbon dioxide oxygen This is just hilarious. I'm gonna have to watch this now She's like it's full force like MMA gloves like Brock Lesnar. Come on at least do like ozone. No, she did she had ozone sulfur dioxide Exactly what she had acid she had nitrogen carbon dioxide Sulfur oxide and ozone and then she'd combine them But they didn't seem like a difference make anything see you got to do like sodium and h2o They did they did that there was another one Her punch made it explode. Yeah, they did stuff that made sense but they didn't do a very good job. This kind of showed punching and yeah but I could have worked really well. Well, it didn't work. So it's not I mean, I could have been a cool idea Yeah So She gets all dark and she's like, oh, I'm gonna beat you And she does So, yeah, she kills chemistry teacher Yeah, she kills the chemistry teacher. It's sad Yeah, let's have a moment of silence. Yep. I thought of you But uh, so Finally They she goes, oh, I've heard I've killed my teacher. I'm a horrible person And not sue me. It's like, oh, he has to do what she has to do though. She's gonna kill you And not sue me shows up to these battles with her For no apparent reason. She just shows up It's crazy So and she doesn't do anything. She just stands by and is like, yeah, I'm uh, I'm watching All right, um, so then in the next fight Is again, now I remember this what hey, I'm just look found I'm just did a web search and found a picture of this. Yeah, I remember this now. Yeah. Wow. Yeah, did we ever make fun of this? Yes, like god. That's kind of why we read it. Yes. So yeah, the next fight is against three sisters and At first they're like come join us. We're evil and we run the martial hearts were evil You can go join us because you beat your teacher up and You beat up the player. You're obviously evil too. Exactly You beat that flight attendant It's okay. The teacher does not show up the next day. Just class. Nope. She's dead. No. She's somebody noticed something here. She's in the hospital And then she disappears into the nether and like some realm they call it like the black realm And they're killed or something. I don't know. That's one of the contradictory things Where where are the police here? I mean come on. Exactly. I mean they were fighting They were like fighting in the fucking schoolyard And nobody like nobody was noticing Exactly it's so secret, you know Yeah, we're secret. We're in the middle of the schoolyard here So she gets us off for to join these three sisters and she's like no, fuck you And they're like what fuck you bitch. We're gonna kill you three on one She kicks these guys's ass eventually And one scene in particular She goes to almost get run over by one of them by a car She runs and does a flying knee drop through a windshield to this girl driving the car Then she jumps out in time And not even bloody or anything apparently the glass doesn't cut you She drives into a lake and drowns And the other two girls just jump in the lake And they drown as well apparently Like no you and they jump into the drown A big day all three just drowned Okay See it was cool when she was doing a knee drop through a car windshield that was all that was pretty hot But the other three just killing themselves. That's pretty steep. No, the other two were just like no Not you too. I don't want you to die and they just jumped in And they show air bubbles in their perspective weapons floating to the Service and one was a police officer Yeah, I'm looking at a picture of the police officer right now. One was a nurse Yeah, looking at a picture of the nurse nice big breasts And the other was I don't know. I remember I remember as she threw bobby pins And she would know sell these attacks like she would get whooped on the first attack But then she would no sell the other attacks She was like superman here No sell She would not Show any pain or anything It's a wrestling term. I'm gonna be using color wrestling terms here. Yes, you are. Sorry That's almost what this is Not bad. She knows sells these attacks She only can get hit by one of the three people And the other people like she'll get fucking bobby through pins thrown in her back And she'll be like raw fucking bitch and she'll fall out or she'll get us a wrench thrown in her into her arm And she'll be like whatever and take it out and throw it on the ground But yeah, she'll get punched in the face and she'll like oh my face Yeah So she murders these three girls They drown After doing the night the flying knee three windshield And the car was like a you go Well, obviously she'd need through the windshield. I mean it wasn't gonna be a Volvo or anything here Was it a toilet? Yeah, well So you must have been a forward, right? Yeah, exactly so Meanwhile, she's like getting all depressed because she's like murdering all these women For trying to get her friend back. Her mom is like, what's going on? It couldn't be No, it can't be And her she never talks to her mom. Her mom's all worried This is like the first time I found like a caring parent in the anime She's like the best mom ever and so Basically, we get to like the semi-finals. Does she ever have to fight her mom? That would be hilarious So we get to the semi-finals like every episode. There's a fight Hmm Actually, no, we'll wait to get to that so Not soon. My brother is really cute and she always hits on him and she's like like some and stuff I does Okay, it was like wait a minute. Is none new me sitting on her? What? They went to a pool And that's when they first meet the three sisters. They started brawling in the fucking pool like This is like a high school pool like you go to the high school and this is all supposed to be secret, right? Exactly. Oh, he didn't know about it. He was just like, I don't know what happened over there I turned away worse than Highlander. Yeah, so Then they go fight like a doc That's all they drew So they get to the semi-finals. They're like auto blue. They're just like you've made it to the semi-finals. Congratulations Go to this location in Akihabara Of course exactly So like so her aya and natsu may go to Akihabara And they go to a place called like bamboo and pine I don't know basically, it's a maid cafe beautiful and This maid and there's all these guys who were cheering on this one maid And she sings And they buy the cd's and they have the cd's for some reason and Then they go I need your help and they cheer And then they start to fight aya and this maid And the crowd boos her And it says you're not as good as this maid that we love and adore And think about all the time like the creepy otaku Well, her clothes start getting ripped off, you know, because they're fighting So she's like, oh shit. I need new clothes. So she gets knocked into the wardrobe And she comes out wearing a maid uniform with cat ears and a tail Of course And the crowd instantly Backtracks and starts loving her And said, oh man. She's so cute with her tail and ears. I can have her And they boo The original maid they loved they just bought cd's for And she sank to him and now they're like boo you suck You're not as good as a cat girl made And she's like, oh, that is it. It's like it's pissed And her magical Wand turns into a chainsaw That rips clothes off. It doesn't dismember her. No, it just rips her clothes Yeah So you get your maid This should be like a drinking game. I mean So of course Then she somehow wins And knocks her bra from boobies are exposed. So that's how you know you won And they have an animation where They do it in slow motion Literally, you know, I don't know you're a little older than me I had stepsisters growing up And they had those polypocket things And they used magnets to put the clothes on It was like that in reverse Literally, they just drew the bra with like the boobs in there And then they just frame by frame took it away And the the bra shaped didn't change or anything It was a very lazy animation to be honest. I'll get to that in a moment but uh so the maid loses and she's sad because I don't know. She liked the attention and stuff. Well, she's just gonna die now. I'm exactly she was killed or something Yeah, she had a breast expression. She's a breast expression. Yeah, apparently they don't care And they were like booing at years. I didn't get They had this maid who was probably in college And they're booing a high school girl who was younger And not bad looking at all But they are ravishly booing her For no apparent reason and then they just and then And then they're like, yeah, we love you Fuck you maid We like to sell the girl because she's wearing Caddy ears and then she gets molested after she wins No beautiful They like try to gang up on our molester And they ask for like a kiss and a hug and they'll pay her and it's creepy I couldn't wait for that scene to be over. I mean It was awful like they're making a comment on otaku here Well, they gotta get every fucking stereotype. They gotta get every cosplay in Yeah, that seems like they have here So then they finally get to the final fight finally At the top of a building She has to fight Guess guess what it is Okay, what what cosplay have we not done yet? We've done a nurse. We've got a nurse We haven't done a business woman. We've done a business woman No, it wasn't a business woman. It's not a business woman. All right Hmm We've done an airplane stewardish, which I would not have thought of Were we done like a meeko or a japanese traditional japanese dress or something? Okay, kind i'll give you that She has to fight a psychic Okay, I would not have come up What the fuck on the top of a random building And how do you fight a psychic? She knows what you're gonna do exactly that's exactly where they go at that She goes, but i'm beating you because I know exactly what you're doing and she's holding a globe, you know the the wizard's ball And she says oh, this is just a prop, but I can just read your mind anyway yet the globe lights up when she's thinking and Talking about how she can read minds and it's weird. It's like, why do you have this? Or at least why aren't you using it as a weapon because she doesn't So I just need to destroy the globe. So, you know not soon. He's been in every fight except this one the very last one so She's not there and I uh The psychic reader says I uh you were a terrible person You've used the martial hearts to have control over your friends and that's why you want You always want to put self it, you know, you always want to be selfish and Feel controlling and look like the bigger girl in front of your friends and I don't know It was lame So I have to kind of get a moral in it at this point. Yeah, exactly. Yeah And she snaps And she beats this person to a bloody pulp Where she is covered in blood She beats the psychic up. She beats the psychic up. She'll oh no her her heart is full of evil because she can read her heart I don't mind her heart Or something. That's the way they put it. I don't freaking know Okay, so how how did she overcome the psychic being able to read her? She became evil in full of hate and that's all that she could read So she's the hate was so much. She couldn't figure out what was gonna happen What she was gonna do because all she could read was the hate exactly she took her down with a ground and pound UFC style and beat her face in until it was a bloody mess Damn So yeah, this is the first time We're actually saw any blood and her boobs didn't pop out or anything It was literally she just snapped and the next frame. She's bloody covered in blood with blood all around the woman It was crazy. It's like what? So this time she just really beat somebody up Yeah, this is like the first time we actually see someone die per se like yeah, like yep, okay She's dead. We know that for a fact We know that one now because you know, it was just implied that they died Prior they just said they died, but they didn't show it so Miko comes back How to the blue? She just shows up and she's like hey, I'm back The girl you've known for a little lesson little you know, he's known less from 24 hours You've murdered all these women and now I'm back Let's go back. I'll be back to life. Exactly By killing other people exactly so happy ending right Happy ending right well except for all the people that died. Oh no, there's more This is what just lost me Like I said stop this recording now because I'm gonna spoil the shit out of this ending Because it is awful This is the most convoluted ending ever. I think I've heard in any anime Especially one that is five on Ellie and there's something oh no, it's worse Wow, all right So miko and her And I go back down to elevator to an empty room in this basement of this building And it's not lit. It's dark Okay, why did they go down there? Well, you'll see So they go down there and not sumius down there Her brother who we think is the leader because in an earlier episode the leader of The heart martial heart shows up and it looks just like not sumis brother And then they look alike of an assumis brother And they murder Then look alike for no apparent reason. They're saying that he gets plastic surgery. You look like whatever he wants And they murder him for no reason so miko and not sumi and not sumis bra uh brother and Her mother who lost her voice and she's just kind of there She's at home But anyway, not sumi His brother and miko Made this grand plan called the martial hearts to lure ayah into fighting so that they can get revenge 20 years later from events that took place long before any of these children were born Because apparently there was another martial hearts tournament where ayah's mother won and they had an affair with not sumis father who was also Ayah's father who was murdered who they said died in trap accident And that ayah's mom was the only one who won the martial hearts the last time around and this was This was all Used as a ploy to lure him so they can kill her So now she has to fight off the person she saved she brought back to life and the brother so Somebody else they pull a gun on her and shoot her twice Once in the shoulder and once in the leg And then other lights turn back on And there you see the teacher you see the three t these three of c-sisters through three sisters Oh everybody's still alive everyone's still alive Even the lady that he's faced she beat to a bloody pulp. Oh, she's dead. Okay. She's gone. She's gone. We know she's dead We got one of them. They show her teacher in like this Very limited state of they said because she was beat up so bad She can no longer function and she's gagged and bound and she's eating dog food off the floor I guess after they lose they become sex slaves Oh god Yeah So She's like, oh god. I'm a terrible person And they're like we're gonna get revenge for your father our father for You I something I got lost through the convolutedness of this So They were like we planned all of this We run the martial hearts and we did all of this Because 20 years ago My father being your father hurt my mother and made her voice box not hurt and took her voice away and had you and Yeah And her mother was like some grand champion of martial hearts So they're like you're the only person who was actually one martial hearts And now you're gonna die and we're gonna murder you So her evil So her best friend is been plotting this entire time And they own some diatribe of I couldn't stand being your friend. I couldn't wait for the moment That you Fell into our trap that we set We promised all these girls wishes And they go through of what wish every girl wanted the teacher wanted to find her father or long lost father the Airlines stewardess wanted to find her like long lost brother and you know some other crap So it was all a setup Just to get you so meanwhile I as mom is planning dynamite outside the building And She lights the dynamite and it blows up. There's like a bazillion explosions going on in the background while all this fire is going on and How anything is flammable because they're in a fucking concrete room and beyond me So I as mom saves the day It's like I didn't want it to end up like this And she's like guess what? Your father my husband had nothing to do with this Your grandfather 80 years ago did And they're like no you're lying And then she murders not sue me And then she breaks the neck of Not sue me's brother Damn and then she shoots Niko miko And she goes I'm going to pay for your sins. I get out of here and The building blows up and I as mom is a presumably crushed Under the top only building so she gets away bloodied and banished And meanwhile while they're doing all this bullshit talking about why they Built up this convoluted plan They show her mother I as our uh Not sue me's mother She's such a hate field for this family of aya and her and her mother She she's shown stabbing a family photo Of them with an exacto knife just just standing there stabbing this photo and The show ends with the doorbell ringing And aya being at the front door and a shocked look on not sue me's mother's face That is the fucking show I know this isn't much of a review I just figured this would be much more fun of a review Because holy shit There is no way to talk about this show without actually spoiling it But you've got to watch this ending it is Makes no fucking sense So why does she go to the mother of the lady who wanted to kill her I don't know exactly like I said I got I got lost in trying to finish this out. I think if I watched it again I could Probably figure it out and go oh, okay Well, hey now if you watch it again, I'll watch it with you and we can both laugh at it together There you go. And then we can talk about you know how terrible it is. I'm wondering if anime On dvd reviewed this and what they said about it Because it must have been terrible This just sounds unbelievably awful I um I mean is this worse than arcade girl fabuki? No, I mean, yes Yes, who is worse than that, but then other times they're just like The whole story starts to make less sense because it's like I said They're they're supposed to be doing this in secret. They're to a point blank We fight in secret. No, they're fighting in fucking public spots They fought in front of that big-ass crowd over tacos And like that's not secret. They're doing it in public Yeah, there's people cheering them on exactly It's not secret when people are cheering you on The ending was overbooked as a lot of people would put it There was just too much thrown at you that made no sense at the end time that was also undone everyone's always said, you know anime is a lot of pan shots and a lot of snails with pans and Things are like konichi things like dragon ball and things like this show Really really point that out The animation in this show was lazy Like I said with like how The clothes, you know Would make no sense to do a palm thrust in the top and your shirt rips open We do a front kick in the back of your skirt rips off And it wasn't it was just like it was lazy animation it was Very much a Here's a still shot. We're gonna do some pans and call it a day You know the backgrounds were boring and Not very exciting to look at I mean shit The the rooftop was literally just great You know, I think the most I guess you'd say the most interesting background was probably at the autocam thing on stage But even then it wasn't that great So the voice acting was all right. I mean it wasn't terrible But it wasn't like oh my god These people did great. Oh, excuse me What I want to know is like why phonemations bothered dubbing this why waste your energy on dubbing this people are watching it obviously for We watch the trailer all they showed was pants and stuff being ripped off And there's new we should end this by watching the trailer again and laughing at it No, because we were an audio show and it's not genuine anymore But uh Yeah, that's master's of marginal hearts. It was everything I expected it to be And nothing more I didn't this one. I'll say this. I didn't expect the crazy ass convoluted ending I thought it'd be like oh and she got her wish And yeah, who does That's just a dumb ass wish I only met this girl a couple hours ago and I want her back What? Yeah, I gave it a one Whoa, damn It won't have been so bad if it wasn't for the fucked up ending That's it the ending was good I've been like hey Yeah, it had tits and ass and Pointless fights just because they could but I'll give it a pass No, the ending of what roamed it Next week I bring it even more crazier show called strange love Oh, you're actually gonna review that In a two episode ova I'll leave it with this two girls frenching on the title on the front cover And The title of oh strange love crazy triangle love thing follow me on twitter if you want to and you know Send us mail Hey, thanks for listening for more information about this or older episodes visit Or subscribe to us in iTunes by searching the bonsai beat you can also follow us on twitter username jellocoon Or send comments questions and feedback to our email bonsai beat at gmail.com or you can leave a voicemail at skype username jellocoon If you are looking for other great anime podcasts check out oda cast radio That's ota K a s t hit their website at ww w w dot oda cast radio.com [Music]
