[Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] Hey everybody, have a show at 106. [Music] [Music] What on the Bonsai Beat? 106, I am Jell-O-kun, that is all there. Yes, I'm glad I'm not on camera because I'm just rocking out over here. Full head of hair. That's right, my full head of hair and you know everything is just going all over. Who was that cool band? That was The Rocketeers. Awesome. I have to check some of that shit out, that was good. Yes, they are very good. They have Jack White as a guitarist and lead singer. Seriously? Yeah. I think it's like a third band or some crap. We are an anime podcast though, so yeah. Yeah, so let's not talk about music. This is about music. [Laughs] Episode 106. Yeah, man. We've been around. We've been around for a while, three years. 25,000 downloads. And counting. And counting. Here's 25,000 more. I hope so, man. If you told me this was our 25,000 download episode, I would have prepared like, you know, I don't know. Well, I suppose we had our fanfare at the beginning, so there we go. It works out. That was good. What fanfare? No one, fan, or anything. [Laughs] Well, you know, we've got to have a celebration, like 25,000 downloads. Oh, pfft. Ah, 100. Then we'll talk. Um, yeah. Anyway, go to the Bonsaibeat, Bonsaibeat.com. There you can go and listen to past episodes. And we have a review index. And, yeah. Yeah, yeah. In the the. We are watching shows about things. Yes, we are. In the show. With Aldo and I have actually been watching, um, uh, even Ojikan. Which is, no, not related to Kido and Ojikan. Thank God. [Laughs] Android kindergartners. Duh, duh, duh. Duh, duh. Or whatever, third graders or whatever. They're hanging over their teachers. Uh, no. We are watching Time of Eve, also known as Evan Ojikan, and Crunchyroll. Uh, we started watching that here a couple days ago. We're going to do a dual review and see how that works. So, it'll be one of our first dual reviews that we've actually sat down and watched the same show in the same timeline, at least. Yeah. It's been interesting so far. The, um, the show has been interesting. Not one episode, yeah. Uh, today we bring you a review of Animation Runner Carumi and Fullman Alchemist Brotherhood. So there you go. Yes! Two for the price of one, baby! Yes. Other than, uh, other than those two, are we even watching anything else? Uh, I started watching Baka No, because the guy on Anime Bice has been watching it. Yes. Uh, that, that, yes, I know, sorry. That show is just weird. No, yeah, it is weird, yes. How many episodes have you gotten through? I've watched one. Okay. And, um, and I think I'm really going to like it because it seems to be the kind of thing I'm going to like, because it, you know, jumps around to time. It does, yeah. And stuff. But it's just weird. Oh, yeah. Have you met, have you met the two crooks? I think so. They steal all the hats or they steal watches because they don't steal time. Eh, eh, eh, the show does not make any sense yet. So, no. No, not yet. I only own the first volume because I got it at that Best Buy. Hey, we're throwing DVD off the back window. Yeah. Come take some. Take some before it's grown. Yeah. It, uh, it, it, it was weird. I have to say, I, I actually was, couldn't sleep last night. So watched an actual, uh, Koichi. I think it is. I don't know. Some weird. It's, it's, it's, it's weird. I have to say. I, I actually was, couldn't sleep last night. So watched an actual, uh, Koichi. I think it is. I don't know. Some weird. Um. Oh, and don't swim. Or don't swim. Oh, it's Koichi. I don't know. I had to watch that one in forever and it's still just as bad as when I watched it last time. I just remember it's outside. I'm going to watch that. And I t-voted like five episodes for five weeks. I've never watched this in an episode. Uh, it's not worth it. Not worth it. Um. That's why we say the first bad anime that they've chosen in a while. Like it's so funny. Kawabibob. Epic. Uh, Code Geass. Epic. Uh, Bleach. Bleach. Yeah. Yeah. It's kind of spans, of course. Um, Inuyasha. Absolutely. I'm terrible. I liked it. But I mean, uh, what else did they have? Big O. That's a good one. I haven't, I'm not big in a big old place. Yeah. I was like, this is the way it ended too. It was, it got a little too ridiculous. I just got to think of them. You're like, Big O! Do something. Like my breakfast. Big O! It's Shocha! I mean, you're there. Yeah. Well, that, that was kind of cool. Uh, but they just didn't know what to do with it. By the end, they're like, well, we got to do something here. What are we going to do? So. I mean, they didn't, they didn't, for me at least, they did not answer all the questions that the show brought up. Hey, there's supposed to be a second season. Oh, no, there is a second season. I've watched it. Oh, there you go. I've watched it to, to what is supposed to be the actual end of the show. And it doesn't make any sense. Here's like, done. All right. Well, I, I've, I've watched Madoka. Maho, Shocho, Madoka. The only show I've watched currently this season. I think other than, I don't like you at All Big Brother. Where's that last season? I don't know. When, when was my little sister can't be this cute? That was last season. But there's another one now called, I don't like you at All Big Brother. Oh, it's the same. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. No, very opposite. She's just like, hey, I want you to fuck me. And. Oh, well then, okay. And she like jumps around naked or she'll walk on her towel and be like, whoops. All right. Howl fell off. And then she'll get mad at him for not like looking at her. I don't know. But she's in middle school. No, maybe, maybe the Tokyo mayor has a point. I don't know. Hey, that is very thought provoking anime. When I say I watch anime, I don't like it all big sister. That's one you tell people about. Or whatever. My little sister can't be this cute. And I don't like you at All Big Brother are the two gleaming examples. That's right. Wait, we need to watch next together. I've decided we need to watch gossick. Oh, gossick. Gossick. Is that what it is? Yeah, gossick. Yeah. I just can't get over there. I watched five minutes of that show. And their head hounds running around and her. I'm just going to get off the image of her fat fucking face. It's just like a goddamn chickmunk. She's supposed to be cute. She's the most adorable thing you've ever seen. No, she looks like a damn chickmunk with a bonnet. I just can't get over that still. What they use for the promo image. She looks like a fat, she doesn't grow up or baby fat yet. Which is supposed to be what makes her cute. But, okay. Yes, I watched Magical Girl, Moho Shojo, Madoka. We'll talk more about that later. Well, yeah. We'll have a little story about that. But, I have never watched, well, we've watched a little bit of a Magical Girl show. I've watched about five episodes of Nanoha. Miracle Magical Girl, Nanoha. And, it just wasn't for me. But, I kept hearing that Sinkaku Complex, everyone on Twitter raving about it. I've got like four followers. Oh my god, my dog goes awesome this week. OMG. Spill my guts everywhere. I love that show. So, I was like, okay. And then Sinkaku Complex every fucking week is like, most shocking anime ever. Death. And stuff. Alright. So, I watched the first episode. I was like, yeah, okay. I'll keep watching it. I watched the remaining eight episodes in about one sitting. And I was like, wow, this show kicks ass. Because, well, it doesn't make sense logically too much. But, come on. Well, it's anime. Come on. This is the Magical Girl show that isn't full of cute, fluffy things. It's full of dark, dastardly things. And if you screw up, you're dead. And there have been numerous deaths in this show. Yeah. That's what I heard. You don't want to be a Magical Girl in Madoka's world. It ain't fluffy and cute. We'll leave it at that for now. I've also been watching more of Full Metal Alchemist for the original, not Brotherhood. And, I don't know, I'm an episode 21. The last couple of episodes have been pretty good. They found the, you know, the stuff. I don't want to spoil too much. But the secret cavern, the lab, next to the prison. Yep. Yep. Five. Things get, things pick up from here. One of the main, well, the two main complaints about the first version of the show is that it is really slow in picking up. It is. Yeah. And it, but that will soon, that will, it will start taking its dark too. Yeah. I kind of tell with, because I think I have like Alphonse right now, with that stuff and I said about being real or not. Okay. You're to that point. Yeah. Well, then the guy, the guy's gotten killed, right? The scar? No. Never mind. Okay. No. That's not have happened yet or you know what I'm talking about. No. It's like the episode of Wrenry comes in visit for Ed's birthday. Right after that incident. Yeah. So yeah, I'm going to try to get further along here this week if I can. Maybe watch an episode or two a day. But usually I've been reserving it for the weekends and flipping on for background noise slash. Like I'm not paying attention to it like hardcore, you know, watching it as if it were subbed. But I mean, I get the gist of what's going on. It's worth saying. It isn't. Whoa. I mean, yeah, I'm paying a close attention to when things get interesting on the screen. But I mean, it's not one of those shows. It's like, oh my God, I drew a seat gripping. You know, how many short jokes can you have on one flipping show? Getting old, man. They kind of take the take for that. I have to say that's very true. They do, uh, yeah. They do take the cake for having the short jokes. Yep. So, all right. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. This week in anime news brought to you by anime news network. All right. News. You can read them because I even have them on my screen right now. I think I don't either. Come on now, you expected me to be prepared. When I think of these links, like three hours ago, yes. Well, yeah, but three hours ago, I read them and had them on my screen. All right. All right. I will tell them. Hold on. So the Tokyo pop CEO has had to lay people off. And of course, you know, being a CEO, it's never his own fault. It's never that he made bad decisions. No, no, no, no, not at all. It's always somebody else's fault. When your biggest customer goes bankrupt, that kind of kind of problems. Well, yes, you know, you don't foresee that kind of happen. Your biggest customer. Who decided to make them his biggest customer? But no, the Tokyo pop CEO cites borders bankruptcy for layoffs. Stu Leve. I love that. Stu Leve. Leve. Hey, CEO of the North American manga publisher, Tokyo pop, told the ICV2 retail news source. That the bankruptcy of the bookstore chain borders led to last week's layoffs of its editors. Leve. Who ever said borders? Our biggest customer went bankrupt, owed us a lot of money, which they didn't pay us. And as a result, we were in a very challenging situation and have had to react quickly to this situation. We did need, did need to let a few people go and it's horrible, blah, blah, blah, blah. We look forward to creating more businesses for manga customers. So he put his boat in with, you know, the idea that people were going to buy manga in a printed form rather than in an online form and found out he was wrong. So. Well, books. I mean, I went to books a million last night. I was shocked to see they didn't have people, too. Damn you, Darryl Surrat. You bastard. You make me want to read stuff? Um, they didn't have the two books I was looking for. They had a lot of the, you know, oh, funny thing is, they had Dragon Ball Z of the manga. And me and my roommate were talking about it. Make that version for Dragon Ball Z. Of course. It's long as hell, too. Well, that would expect so. No, it was so funny because I was like, you know what? I bet there's just pages and pages of roaring. I opened up the book. The first thing I see is something by going, whaaaaa! I'm like, see? Here you go. He's like, he doesn't know exactly! It's like, there you go. Point proven. I just randomly opened up a page and there was a guy roaring. It had big black, big black blathers. Rawr. And this is from the guy who actually watches. Hey! I'm really just watching the condensed version. Shut up. But I have the entire Dragon Ball Z series at my exposure if I want to walk on the living room and take it off the shelf. I could do so. What? I can't help my roommate watch the Dragon Ball Z and has it all collected? Jerk. Moving on. Niz America is offering to replace our home for the Fox DD case. So, yeah. Niz America. Get your shit together. I wonder- What's wrong with the case? The story I read, I read the story I didn't say. I'm like broke or some bullshit, I don't know. Someone got screwed up. Uh, let's see. So let's see the anime distributor, Nippon E.G. Software. Also knows Niz, as I like to call them. America announced that it will replace the outer slip case of its recent release. Our homes for the Fox DD volume 2 at no cost. According to the announcement, an error in manufacturing caused image quality problems for the case art. So it might have been blurry images or something, or maybe an overbladder, something like that. Probably too close, maybe possibly too close. If I say image quality, it probably got blown up too big. Probably half. Gotcha. You know, their printers should do a better job. I used to work at a printing company for three years, and I saw these guys dead. It wasn't like you just look at it and screw it up. It's like, you had steps and processes before you threw that into the big printer for millions of copies. He did shit right. You lost money. You lost money, yes. No, this is another setback for Niz America. These guys have been so- I don't know if anyone called Careless? But their quality checks system really needs a kick in the pants. Like, these people with half quality checks right now should be fired. They suck. They've had like five or six releases, and I don't say at least half, have had something wrong with them. I bought Torador when it came out, and I flipped into my TV. First thing I noticed, "Hey, there's IVTC going on here. What the fuck?" When they move, they look like they're freaking frame by frame and move their hand, and you see it five times. That's not good. Yeah, it's like you can't even encode your DVD proper. I had to wait four and a half months to get replacement discs. Then they came out with- I don't think I'd be buying them. The Persona DVDs had the same problem. Now this that I know of. It's like NizAmerica. You know, they charge a premium for their product. I paid 40 bucks for the first part of Torador. Granted, that was the only version that came out. It was a really nice set. You got a nice thick box. You got a really nice art book, and you got the discs and thin packs. Awesome! When you can't even fucking encode properly, you can't double check your quality on your box cases before you ship them off the damn door. I mean, who are you going with with many fat? Bob's best printing? Deep on? Jim Bob's DVD encoding express? Do you take it to the freaking corner store? Will we encode your DVD in half an hour? It's free? Well, no, they probably take it to China. But if they're charging that much for something, yeah, they need to get it right. That's just... I mean, it's just... Really, really bad. It just pisses me off. I would shock to get Torador here in the States. Awesome! It's a really good show, but it's niche. No, it's not. I'm going to be giving you my entire collection just so you can watch them. You know, it just stuff like this really ticks me off because it's like, we're paying very good money for this. We're paying a premium and you can't get your basic shit right. And they're just really wrong with you. You need to be the one going out of business, not Jinion. Well, I'm not going to say, you know, business, but if they keep this crap up, they definitely will be. They should. Yes. I mean, granted, I love that there's more... I'm not going to say competition, more studios that are willing to cater to the American audience for anime. Awesome. But get your shit right if you're going to charge for it. Get your shit right, yeah. You know, 50 bucks, 60, but whatever I paid. I mean, every Niz release is expensive. You're not going to walk into Best Buy. You cannot buy these in Brooklyn Mortar, you know. Right. So, I just... This has been bothering me all week. It's just like Jesus Christ. Get some fucking quality control, Niz. Because really, the only reason I haven't bought Tordor a bar, too, was because I didn't fucking know that... Oh, hey. Just screw up again. I've got to wait four and a half, about five months to get brand new discs to watch my stuff I paid for. And a decent quality. Why is it I can encode your crap better than you can? Okay, sorry, I'll get out of that now. No, no, no, I mean when the pirates are doing a better job than... Well, no, that's fair. It happens a lot. Honestly, I prefer the fact that... I prefer watching pirated subs because they're actually easy to read. They've got the nice type setting with the color around them and they're easy to read against what's happening on the screen. You know, retail releases are either white or yellow. Blu-ray was supposed to get this fixed and they still haven't done it yet. Blu-ray was supposed to allow different font type settings and, you know, stylized text. And it hasn't happened yet. They've been putting it off and putting it off and putting it off in every version of the new Blu-ray. So, I mean, I'd rather just, you know, typically what I do is I'll just buy the release. But I'll keep the fan subbed version because I can actually read it if I want to sit down and watch it. I find watching retail sub anime monotonous because if it's like white and it's a bright background, then good luck reading it, you know, or the text might be blurry or whatever. The Funimation does good jobs with our subs. I haven't had any problems. I have never watched a Funimation show subbed. I always watch dubbed. That's just me. But, you know, I've watched some stuff I own that is dubbed or sub only and I just can't do it. I'll go download a fan sub version of it. But I mean, I'll be honest, the majority of the stuff I buy is because I watched it fan subbed. Like the show. It's like, heck yeah, I'll go buy it. Would I ever have bought Toradora to begin with when I never watched it fan subbed? Hell no! But I watched a fan subbed. I really liked it. And I was willing to part with the amount of money I paid, you know? So. Sorry, I'm going to go off and rant like that. But the stuff just really irks me. It's like, you know, you expect us to buy your product, but you keep smiling. And your product sucks. So many times. Yeah, it's like, okay, the first time, first release will give you a slack. But this keeps happening with Niz. Something seems to always go wrong in the link. You know, it's like, okay, our DVDs work great. Oh, what are packaging, you shit? Oh, our DVDs, we're bad now. Our packaging is great. Or, you know, whatever. Funimation's been having this problem too though. They've recalled numerous discs in the last four months for, they call it, DVD authoring issues. Usually episodes getting in the wrong order. Or in some cases, I don't know how the hell this happens. The wrong series showing up on a disc. Are you watching, like, Dragon Ball? It would be like, Dragon Ball. And, like, one episode would be like, my wife is a mermaid or some bullshit. Wow. Whatever to Goku next. My life is a mermaid. What the fuck? What the fuck? No, they've had a lot of... You married a mermaid? Damn, I'm a boy. I might watch the show if that happens. You're changing. But, yeah, it's just... I mean, I don't even yell at Funimation. Granted, I've not bought any of the releases. And these guys have been good about getting back out and saying, "We messed up here." So does your discs and whatever. But, I mean, like, for me, it even is. It took forever. And literally, I even emailed them, like, three and a half months later. I'm like, "Um, where are my discs?" And they're like, "We're sending them out shortly." And I didn't have to send anything back or anything like that, but... I just tossed them out, but... Still, it's like, "Geez, come on now." Yeah, okay, that's my rant for the week, sorry. Just stuff just really just ticks me out. This is like... I'm always a proponent. Yes, I pirate. But, if I like to show enough and it comes on America, you damn right, I'll buy it. I've got a DVD shelf behind me with 100+ DVDs. Nothing but anime. You know, I spent over three or four grand on anime, probably. I'm not a product with that much, but still. Maybe it could be, I don't know. But, uh... You know, this stuff like this just really... ...ports off, you know, what we're saying, you know, support the industry, help the industry, when they can't even do a quality product. So... Alright, let's move on to, uh... ...our DVD picks of the week, shall we? Alright. It's another week, and the more DVDs are being released, what should you get? It's time for the Wheelie DVD picks. Alright, DVD picks. There's a lot more coming out than there was last week. Yeah, but unfortunately none of it's... ...any good. Speed-grapher is what I would choose. Really? It's not the greatest series, but... I don't know if they had Dragon Ball Kai stuff. They're not much about Speed-grapher. What I've heard has not been great, but... I didn't review on it, remember? Hmm... I didn't review it. No, I don't remember what I've gotten, remember, I've just... ...anymore. Not that it was any good. Yeah, it wasn't the greatest thing in the world, but it wasn't the worst thing in the world either. But, uh, I'd choose Speed-grapher this week. I'm guessing you're gonna say nothing. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, Nazica Valley of the Winds is good. It's kind of a little... It's a little too preachy of, um... Oh, what's the guy's name? I can't remember. The guy that makes all these shows. It's a little too environmentally preachy even for me. Oh, I owe Miyazaki. I mean, Miyazaki, yeah. It's Miyazaki at his preheist. Wasn't it? Wasn't that... Right. Wasn't that his first movie, if I'm trying to say? I do not know. What was his first... I wasn't... No, I think his first movie was, um... Princess Mononoka, wasn't it? Or was that...? I have no clue. Later. We should know this. I don't know. Alright. Let's see. Google! There's my Google through strong today. How do you hell do you spell Miyazaki? Miyazaki. Miyazaki. Miyazaki. Yeah, that's not gonna work well, is it? Hmm. Except she got an audio podcast. Yeah. Well... Aha! Let's just do Studio Glee, and... First... Oh, okay. Enough of that crap. You can find that information out. Alright. Well, I'll let you continue. What the fuck? I can't see any dirty words. Really? You can't say fuck? Yeah. You can't say shit? Yeah? What the fuck? What the fuck? Oh, look at this. Huh! I got a fatty re-rip that. Alright. Evidently, it was their first one. Score one for Joe Lagoon. It does. Wow. Interesting. Do not pick up the Tales from Earth Sea One. Read the book. Don't pick up that one. That anime is absolutely terrible. I tried watching Na-Nosco- Actually, over Christmas break. I tried watching the valley. Whatever that show is. And the whole... The bugs are chasing me. And we make the houses out of their shell or... Whatever bullcrap she was doing was boring to me. I was like... Darn. So, yeah. But... That's it. It's him at his most... His Preachiest. And evidently, he now thinks that, you know... Learning how to use technology is not as important as learning how to do flint-napping or, you know, making... ...thing fire from... The way people used to do it. From rocks? From rocks, yes. Come on. Zippo needs to be living. Zippo has people they need to pay. Yeah. Well, I'll see if I can find this on San Goku Complex. This is not what you're talking about. I know what you're talking about. 'Cause this is old. Yeah. But... Let's pick the... Let's do it this week. Fuckio Miyazaki. These movies are all about... Don't hurt the planet! Fuck you, old man. Ahhh, some of them are good now. Come on. And we don't do need to be not hurting the planet as much as we are. But... Alright, let's talk about the what the fuck of the weeks this week. Alright! So... The Modoka staff is a static because beautiful school girls love Modoka. So... And we'll talk more about Modoka in a minute. Well, it gets out to be pretty important because there's a lot of people that evidently really hate it. Man. So the director of Pula Magica... Modoka Magica. I love how... I have magic in there twice. I spoke with Mr. Light at seeing ordinary Beshujo, school girls, speaking of Modoka on the train. I showed you. Anyway. He evidently tweeted that he was on the train and they started talking about it in front of him. And he was absolutely delighted and they were both total hotties. Who the hell speak like that anymore? Evidently they still do in Japan. I don't know. But why this is entertaining is they have evidently received complaints. The Japanese government has received complaints from people on the internet of all places about the show. About the show being too graphic and being too disgusting. And the people on the forum were actually talking about how great it was that it might now actually get canceled. No, that's the thing though. There's nothing graphic in this show. There is not even a single pet. Well, there is one since they haven't nude, but they don't show anything. Well, no, I mean we're talking about violence here. There's no violence. They're having little girls get their heads bitten off by monsters. They don't show anything though. They just show our body go limp and some blood on the brown. But it's not like graphic detail. It's nothing like three by three eyes or gans or noir or gunslinger girl. It's not like they're getting into little children I suppose. They're fucking middle school. It's not like they're like elementary school girls. I mean, I'm sorry. This show is very tame in terms of like the graphic content. I just, after seeing the show, no, I disagree. This is one of those things where it's a lot of bullshit. You want to know what it is? It's because it's a magical show and it's not about fluffy and happy things. No, it's a very, almost sad and, um, how would you put it? Sad and somber show. This isn't your happy fluffy, everything's alright and you can do anything you want in as being a magical girl. Maybe that's why everyone's all pissed off. I don't know. That's what I'm going to assume. Because every magical girl shows about empowering women and showing that girls can do things and stuff. And the show is like, "Hey, become a magical girl and you can get any wish you ever wanted granted." But if you die, that wish also screws you over and screws the wish over as well. And then they found out why they were basically lied to about what the magical girls are and what they do. And, yeah, it's not happy. Let's just say that much. Oh, I'm tired. I don't understand why this show, out of everything. It's actually crap, like, I don't like you at all, big brother. And other, I kiss x6, all the other bullshit that gets put on, that people bitch about this show. Like, the girls are in middle school. You know? Yeah, are they a little young and they're not in high school? They're in third year of middle school. That's one year away from high school. And give me a break. I just don't understand why this show would be taken off the air. There's no reason. I don't know. No reason at all. The complaint is that it's a late night anime, but it still had scenes of a little girl having her head bitten off by a monster. See, that's the thing. No-listers have stated their intent to go on profiting from these cruel scenes each week. Oh, yeah, because they're just so fucking real. No. You know what the scene was in particular? They showed her from the neck down and they implied that her head got bit off because she went limp. And then they showed up on the ground and they said, "Yup, she's dead." It was a horrible death. They didn't revel in the fact like, "Oh, yeah, great, she's dead." No. She was an important character and she'll be missed. It just bullshit. This is tame by standards of anime. Very, very tame, in my opinion. Now, if they showed graphic detail of her head being bitten off, okay, I could understand. But I just, I have to disagree. Sorry, I'm angry this week. This shit just pisses me off because it's just the same kind of bullshit that the parent's television council does here in America. Oh my God! Family guy had a joke that was insensitive. They should get kicked off the air. Oh my God! It doesn't tell you about Christian morals. Fuck off! It's the same bullshit that happens here and it's just bull crap. It's like you're all good for morals and honesty and I understand you don't want the world to go down on the hand basket. But lying about and exaggerating about your cause doesn't lead to anything. It leads to trouble. True. Now the manga is even worse. It's quite interesting. I don't think about the manga. Yeah, the scene they have on the manga, they have the scene where she's getting her head bit off and it is disturbing. Okay, that's different though. Is that both the manga? Okay. You know what though? This isn't. They're talking about the anime. I mean I was actually shocked that this show had no tr- they have transformation sequences but they're quick one and done things. It's not like they have this whole big long 15/22 sequence of the clothes being ripped off her and you know they usually spin around and the bow tie magically appears and the clothes come out of nowhere and attached to her head. I don't fucking know. But you know what I mean like it was like they jump in the air boom they transformed. One time did they have any kind of nudity of any kind but there was nothing there. Like it was literally like hey everything is her chest is just you know everything. Her body is like a fucking kendall. The flat and there's nothing there or whatever. You know? Like I was actually shocked at how little this anime has for fan service or anything of that nature. This is like a no nonsense anime where it's like we will suck you in with the plot the characters and what's happening in the show. And that was not with sex and sex appeal and fan service and you know lollies or any of that crap. I just find it funny that the shows that don't seem to push the envelope. Other ones being you know massacre you know getting the wrath of the censors in Japan or whoever these groups are or demanding for the show to be taken off the air. You know? Why don't you take crap off like I don't like you at all big brother or some of the other more racy shows like freezing. Yeah that one's supposed to be pretty bad. You know it's like at least those have things you can point to and be like hey I don't want my kid. Well you know I don't know. On the hand you know what it's late night. Maybe some kid teavote it. His parents found out and they didn't like it so it's like wow that's terrible. And the funny thing is the character doesn't get killed off until like the fourth episode or fifth episode. It's not like it happens on the first ten minutes of the show. So I don't know. I'm in a bad, I'm in a happy mood this week but I just want to like argue because this stuff just really pisses me off. Everyone always seems to think what's best for me or my family or the kids or whatever. That their agenda is good enough for everybody. You know what? If you don't like the show don't watch it. You know the show there's eight, the show in particular airs late at night. Go to bed. Yeah you know I don't know what else to say. I'm just so sick of these watchdog groups that I think they know what's best for everybody in a country or what they're morals and they push their agenda on everybody. Go do something else. Anyway. Exactly. Go ahead and do your review of Brotherhood. Oh I get to do my review first. Alright. Talk too much. So I have been watching Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood and I'm going to review this. You know I'm going to be talking about this relationship to the first one. I'm going to kind of review it as if you were, if you've seen the first one and if you haven't seen it. The first one and if you haven't seen the first one. So just be prepared for that. Well are you spoiling anything though because I don't want to be spoiled? No no I'm not going to be trying very carefully not to spoil things so this may be a shorter review. That's fine. Even for me. I have to do that. So we'll have more time though to listen to Jellicoom Ranch. I'd be prepared for that. Alright. So Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood. First off with Ed and Al which are two brothers. You know either about eight I would assume when this starts out. And they lose their mother. Don't know where their father is right away. He turns out to be rather important later but they. They have his blood. They do. Their mother dies and there's evidently a alchemy is evidently real in this world. And you can actually kind of is kind of like a science. You can do things with it. It has rules that you have to follow. One of them being that you can only get something if you sacrifice something of equal value. You can prove like exchange motherfucker. Yeah. Equivalent exchange. Otherwise known as you cannot create or destroy matter. They second law of thermodynamics. But you know the thematic potential here is quite obvious from the beginning. And are talking about equivalent exchange and all these kind of things. So what do they try to do? Well they try to bring their mother back from the dead using the power of alchemy. Despite the fact that this is a big huge no no. Becomes quite obvious why this is a big huge no no as soon as they try it. Not only do they not get their mother back. Not only do they get something that is unbelievably disgusting and evil and thankfully dies very soon afterwards. They all ends up losing his arm and his leg. And his brother ends up losing his entire body. And almost ends up dying completely except that Al is able to using the power of alchemy. Put his soul into a suit of armor. Which leads to some of the more entertaining humor throughout the show. Since his brother is a literally a walking suit of armor. Yeah I love the fact. Yeah I love the fact when one of the other running gags on the show is everyone assumes that Al finds. They call him the full metal alchemist and they call Al the full metal alchemist. Because he has a, when he loses his arm and his leg there is something called auto male. Which is basically mechanical replacement mechanical body parts that you can put on people. So he gets a mechanical arm and leg and they call him the full metal. But everybody assumes that his brother who is actually full metal. And that leads to some of the running gags of the show. One of the other running gags is that Al is short. Which seem to have some thematic play throughout the rest of the series too. And he always gets picked on for being short and is quite entertaining. When any one of the big bad enemies calls him short you know the smack down is about to happen. Because he will go off the deep end and kick some major ass basically. Which is always rather entertaining. You know to get him mad no you kill his best friend no no you just call him short. Then he goes all rocky on you and destroys you utterly. It's quite entertaining. So the first quest throughout the show is they're going to try and use the power of alchemy to get Ed's body back. And to get Al his Ed his arm and leg back. And that's their first quest throughout the show. Things however very quickly especially in brotherhood take a turn for the very dark. And you find out that there are other things going on. There are wheels within wheels throughout the show. The thing there you meet characters that call themselves lust, envy, greed and wrath. Who wrath turns out to be becomes very important. And then somebody called that calls himself father who evidently is related to regreed wrath lust. If you haven't caught up on the thematic elements now then you probably need to go back to and think about things a little bit. Were there movies seven sins or something? Yes yes we obviously are talking about the seven sins here. Not going to go too much into that. It does become very important. One good thing about brotherhood that is better than the first show. Their powers do actually fit with the sin that they embody. Greed actually acts like greed. What have you bank faced everything? Gluttony actually acts like gluttony. Lust is actually incites lust. And they didn't really do that as well in the first one. If you watch the first show the homuculae were not very scary and the way they go about having to kill the homuculae was pretty ridiculous. They improve that in the second show drastically. A little bit about the, okay you had a question sorry. Well I mean like out of those seven deadly sin characters. The only one I can think of that's been the most prominent is gluttony. Because he's a sad kid. Yeah but you're talking about full metal alchemist. Yes the original. Correct. Right. Greed becomes very important later in the one you're watching. He's even more important in brotherhood but they all do get screen time I think in both of them as you go along. I mean it's a 64 episode show so there is enough time to take care of everybody. And that's one thing that is good about the show. All of the secondary characters are actually interesting. They are all memorable. They all get screen time. You have an ish violin who calls himself scar. The ish vellins are a race of people that have been treated badly by the main. A Lestra? No I don't know Lestra. A mestris. Which is the main country that Ed now are part of. Not going to go into much of that. Don't want to spoil things. But he's a very interesting character. Becomes very important. Even much more important in brotherhood than in the first show. The problem really with the first show is it went too long being just kind of almost a kitty adventure show. And the first time I watched the first one I actually did not watch it all the way through when I watched it on Cartoon Network. I watched the first ten episodes, was like this is really not fun. This is just another Dragon Ball Z clone. I'm going to go do something else. I come back later and they're on like episode 40 and I turned the show on because I couldn't sleep at night. And I'm like what the hell is this the same show? Now everything from the opening to the opening scenes, the opening credits was extremely dark and extremely different. It was a much better show and I was hooked then for the last 20 episodes. The first this brotherhood gets to that point of being dark and being gritty much faster. This does lead to a problem if you haven't seen the first one. That's what I wanted to bring up. I don't mean to cut you off. I'm sorry. Go ahead. Go ahead. For me, because you were recommending, you know, full, you were recommending the first one. Oh, sorry, brotherhood. I mean, I watched the first episode and already ails in the military. He's fighting people and you have no clue what's going on or what anything really is. It's like, hey, action scene. Hey, all the stuff happened. Why should we care? They did take care of that by catching you up to speed in a little bit in the second episode. I thought some more about that and you are right. I love the fact that the first season they actually go through the chronological events. Why they're important. I felt like they made brotherhood for the people who enjoyed the first season that were like, hey, you've already seen the first season. You know what's going on? It's kind of, we'll just push ahead way further, but for folks, I mean, for the first time, I feel myself kind of lost. I mean, I can't answer the content of the show. I've seen a couple episodes here and there from the early on episode, so I'm back when they're on Current2Network. But, like, just watching brotherhood, I was just like, what's going on? Why is he in the military already? There was a big deal in the first one that I remember. What's going on? It was. Sorry, I'll let you continue, though. In the first one, it was a very fun episode. It was kind of, you know, another adventure-a-kitty episode, but when he was doing the test to get into the military, that was actually a well-done episode. And the episode was after that, when the Khmeros and stuff. That was sad. Now, wait. That was when it started getting really good from when I went back and watched it again. That was like early on, I should correct you on a little bit. Brotherhood is not really a second season for Full Metal Alchemist. Okay, the retelling. Right, they are both complete shows. The first Full Metal Alchemist has a middle beginning and an end. And Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood, for the first few episodes, is pretty much a complete retelling of the first Full Metal Alchemist. Gotcha. The first Full Metal Alchemist, they didn't really have all of the manga to work off of when they did the ending. So, they had about half of the manga, and then rather than waiting for the rest of the manga to come out, they just kind of went off with it and did their own story. So, about after, really, where you are right now, about after episode 21, is about where you have where it completely diverges. So, everything that you are seeing now in Full Metal Alchemist will be completely different in Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood. Jesus Christ, it's 31 episodes. Yes. Or 30 episodes. Yes. And so, every, so, all of the rest of the show, while good, to my mind is better in Brotherhood. So, now, what about his Brotherhood pick up? Like, if you were to say to someone who's seen Full Metal Alchemist 1, we'll say it. Or the original, would you say that Full Metal, would you say Brotherhood does a good job picking up where I left off? Or does it pick up like, does it do a good job of like, where about a biological? Where it diverges, after from where it diverges, it is an incredibly good show. Until then, it does move things along very quickly. And you get to know the characters less, and you don't get to learn about as much as they're passed, and, you know, these kind of things, as you do in the first one. You don't spend as much time with the characters getting to know them. Afterwards, the new characters they do that for. Gotcha. So, you're right if you haven't seen it. I mean, I almost want to say, watch the first 20 episodes in the first one and then go pick up Brotherhood and watch Brotherhood from the beginning. You know, I don't know. If you are enjoying the first one, I would go ahead and finish it. I'm going to, yeah, I plan on it. It is different. So, know that going in. I'm trying to figure out if some, if one particular thing had happened without telling you about it. But the character who's always showing, the military character who is always showing pictures of his daughter, have you met him yet? Oh, of course. Yeah, that guy gets hilarious, but then he's like all serious. Right. Is he still, never mind. He's still like all, he's serious, but then he can be all happy with his daughter. And then he can be serious again. Okay. Yeah, you are not exactly to where it diverges yet. Okay. And you are not exactly to where it gets completely really dark. He becomes very important later. The character who always showed pictures of his daughter. Okay. Talk to me in about 10 more episodes. All right. So, the show, so, the Brotherhood does a lot of things very, very differently. The way you kill the homucula is different. The way the homucula were made were different. The ending is much, are they up to the ending is actually much darker. One of the complaints about the first show was that the ending was way too dark. The ending of the first show is way too dark and is a little kind of ridiculous and doesn't fit very well. The ending of the, of Brotherhood is actually one of those really, really rare things in anime, an actual happy ending. Wait, it's over with already? Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood, yes. Oh. I'm, now I'm watching it on Funimation online on YouTube. I do not know if it is airing somewhere currently, actually. I remember it aired on Adult Swim when it first started. Yeah, I have no idea if it's airing there anymore or not. So, I should say I am watching it. I believe. On YouTube, on the Funimation channel. And it actually pulls it off very well. They have to go through incredibly hard things to get to the happy ending. There are definitely sacrifices that they make. The Winery Show is very good about putting the main characters in the worst possible situations, where they have to make bad or worse decisions, where they have to basically say, yes, I am going to use this to do this thing that I would never do because it is actually kind of evil to prevent and even worse evil. You know, kind of a, do I, kind of like, you know, what it must have been like in World War II to think about having to drop the atomic bombs. You know, do I drop these atomic bombs and do absolute utter terrible destruction, but in World War II. You know, and it's very, very good at doing that. There are a, like in Brotherhood, I mean, like in the first show, there is humor in Brotherhood. And sometimes the humor does not work. Especially in the very beginning, the characters will go chibi at certain times and it just seems to be, sometimes it works, sometimes it's a very good break from what's really a dark and gritty show. Other times it just doesn't seem to fit very well. But the show is very well done, the show is very emotional, and by the end you do actually somewhat feel for some of the evil characters, which is very hard to do and very hard to pull off. One in particular, Envy, has a very moving death scene and, you know, I couldn't completely feel for the character because she was evil, but you, I got really close, much closer than I would have on a less well done show. The animation is absolutely gorgeous, and as you go along, it just gets better and better. The budget they must have had for some of the later episodes, it must have been absolutely phenomenal. It's made money for years and years. They're probably like, well, pay whatever you want. Yeah, no, I mean, the first one did make a ton of money and it shows, and they spend a lot of money on the animation. The animation is great, the story is wonderful, the characters are all memorable and interesting. It's a happy ending, so don't go in thinking, you know, you're going to get dark, gritty, life is awful kind of thing. This is not technicalized. You're not going to go to suicide after watching it. You're not going to go to suicide after watching it. No, no, you're not going to want to commit suicide after watching it, which after watching technicalized, you may very well do. You know, this is not technicalized, or what's the other show? I don't remember. You can't remember right now. But it is a happy ending, but it does it well. The characters are well drawn, they're interesting. The sound effects and the music are good. You know, some of the openings are better than others. They do some very cool things where the ending of the show will fit the beginning of the opening. There's a couple of times where the first line for one of the ending shows is let it all out, let it all out. The show will end on a really moving emotional scene where one character, usually winery, is breaking down into tears over something. And then you'll start the let it all out song, which is done very well. Yes, winery is one of the problems is winery. She becomes being there just to be saved by other people. A lot of times. And she becomes somewhat of a stronger character toward the end, but never as much as I wonder to be. So that would be if I had to have say one bad thing about it, that would be it. But this is one of the better shows I have seen in a long time. Gotcha. It is not as good, you know, as other shows. It's not as good as Hannah Berenmay or things like that. But it is definitely worth watching. If you saw the first one and did not like it, the people that have watched the second one that I know who did not like the first one, like the second one. So give it another shot. I would recommend watching at least the first 20 episodes, 20, 30 episodes, maybe even of the first one before you start watching the second one, just so you have some idea of what is going on. Now, okay, because you watch the first part or wrong, you call me the first season. Because you watch the original that have any bearing on how you came into Brotherhood or any kind of, any kind of like what expectations or anything of that nature. It might have lowered my expectations, expectations, if anything, because of the, you know, the chibi-ness in the first one worked even less than it does in Brotherhood. There's more of the humor in the first one and it fits less. The ending, you know, was just incredibly dark and I was afraid they were going to do that again, I think, in the second one. I had heard and I had read that the ending was better and that the show was generally better. So, I had that going on. But so definitely if you just picked this one up, you would probably have a different experience if you just started with this one. But I can't put myself in those shoes. I think even if I had just seen Brotherhood first, I would have liked it. Oh my god, this is wonderful experience because, you know, I wouldn't have seen the first one and seen how bad it could, the same material could be if handled not as well. So, I don't know. The first one I would say is just an average show. It tries to be, the original is just an average show. It tries to be above average but really doesn't succeed. Brotherhood is definitely an above average show. Bordering on Classic. Oh wow, that would be the difference, that would be the difference, I would think. Okay, so what would you rate it out of ten? Out of ten? Seven. Okay, the first one is a lot. You're calling it a Classic and yet a seven? Hmm? It's ready to go higher. Okay, give it a seven. Oh, I mean, if you are a Classic, you're an eight or nine. If you're ten, I'd only have one show that I have ever watched that I would give a ten. Okay. Okay, fair enough. No, that's the way you feel. That's yours, Corey. Mm-hmm. Yes. Yes. I score, if you get a ten for me, you are the best show ever made. So, yes. Okay, fair enough. Animation Murakurumi. I first heard about the show back in 2009 during a con event. It was being shown at 3 a.m. in a screening room. Yeah, and I didn't bother to check it out because I was like, "Well, this is 3 a.m." Yeah. I heard nothing but bad comments about it. Really? Yeah, when I asked people about it, they were like, "Oh, show's terrible." So, I got, well, you know, animation, or sorry, anime news network is streaming shows and this was one of them, so I decided to check it out. So, you too can watch this for free. Animation Murakurumi is a one-episode OVA, technically two. They call it Animation Murakurumi two. Oh, just do both of them here. It's about a newly graduated 20-year-old girl named Makik. Makikio. Or girl. But she prefers to go by the name "Kurumi," which is a health-out either say to. Yeah. And it doesn't sound like you're saying "My Cock" when you're doing it. Exactly. "My Cock"? "My Cock" or "Rugo." So, she lands a job at Studio Petite. She quickly finds out the producer, the head guy, is anxious to leave, and it's on a merger heart attack, and then he has a heart attack and he dies, not before giving her his position. He said the only way he could leave the company was if they found a replacement, and then he died. So, now "Kurumi" finds herself in charge of basically lazy people, lazy animators who often cut corners and make excuses as to why their job isn't being done. Yeah. So, this is an anti-animator show. I guess, yeah. I talk about everything. The current running animated title "Time" journeys. Episode is almost ready to be aired, and yet they're not done. It's almost coming due, and little work has been done. "Kurumi" considers working for Studio Petite her dream job and is anxious to start. But she quickly realizes that the animation industry isn't what she thought it would be. Directed by Daichi Akitoro, who has been a director on such shows as Fruits Basket, Kononcha, or Konocha, and most recently directed an episode of the recently released here in America, Myoneka Overrun. The series focuses on "Kurumi" doing her best at managing her small six-person team and finding out each has a different quirk to them to get their job done in a timely and efficient matter. That's really the plot for this first episode. It's a briefly introduced to each member of the staff, but only being a 40-minute show, they have to run quick. Basically, there's people there who don't like being yelled at or something. Like being told you're doing a bad job, so they'll do worse. It's like her going to like, they have like a guy who is like an alter-o-taku who does like, I don't know, things. He's got like all these distractions, like video games and stuff like that around them. So he has to be brought into the office to get work done. There's another girl who hates her relationship right now with her husband, and she always feels like she doesn't want to talk to about it. So "Kurumi" would be like, "Oh, so how's your husband treating you?" And you're like, "Oh, that guy. She gets angry, but the anger she gets, the faster she gets stuff done, and it's always good work." But it was her kind of muse. So basically, like I said, we're introduced to each character, but it really doesn't get to get dig deep into anyone particular. At the heart of it, you're just left with "Kurumi." Just hoping she can do as best as she can. We found out that "Kurumi" had been in love with one and only anime, and this one is being the animation industry, which I felt was kind of silly because, I mean, in this episode, it doesn't make a big difference. It was referenced a show that she liked, it was referenced a lot and used this motivation, but that was it. And that's what I find funny. He's like, "You know, you get into a job for something you love." There is an episode where, in the very beginning of the episode, one of the animators goes, "Oh, you're an anime geek." So you went into the animation industry and went to animation school. And she said, "No." And they're like, "One anime. I don't even like anime. I just like one." "Then what the hell?" Yeah, and I was like, "Okay." I just can't see anyone doing that. I work in IT. I love computers. I love doing what I do. Not just one? There's not just one computer somewhere that you like? Exactly. I like that. I like the Tandy I first started out with. I loved using DOS 1.0 or whatever I used. But I just find it kind of goofy when she's like, "I don't even like watching anime." I just watched that one that really liked. It's like, "How often does that happen?" You know? I would assume not all bad. Yeah, it's like, "Hmm, I really liked it. I'm going to shape my career around it." That's right. I like one thing of chemistry. That's it. Yeah, exactly. Now, did you become planning on becoming a teacher? Um, at first, no. After I got a little taste of teaching in grad school. Yes. Gotcha. It's certainly better than working in a lab and being alone all day where nothing ever works. Come on. You'd be like the naughty professor and make yourself a fat serum. Well, with me, it would have to be an actual fat serum. Fat serum? It has to make you back, too. Yeah, because I am extremely thin. But, yeah, you know, it was working in a lab was not for me. There you go. But still, it's not like you said, "Hmm. I've watched one show about chemistry here right about before." That's right. I'm going to be a chemist. I'm going to be a chemist. So, yeah, that's just kind of good. Um, hold on, one sec here. All right, so, um, so for me, this was like something new. I don't know Jack's squad about the anime industry or how things get done. And all I ever known was like either draw frame by frame or you can do it on the computer now. It gets done a lot. And they use terms like keys or keyframe or cuts or in betweens or tweens. And after the fact, as you go out and like Google and find out what these terms meant, I mean, some of them are pretty, you know, like in between. Okay, this is the animation in between the animation or whatever. But I had no clue what a key, I've heard the word keyframe used. But I'd never, you know, we heard it. You know, I never knew what a meant or cuts. I still don't know what that means. I couldn't find a good definition. So they didn't, so they don't explain these terms in the show. No, no, and it felt really inside baseball. Hmm, that's too bad. It's not because I'm in the anime. It's just like, I don't work in the anime industry. Exactly. Well, I mean, if you're in the business or understand the business, I mean, you'll get, you'll be at home with these terms. Um, so I mean, so it's a show only for people that are animators. No, no, not at all. It's just, it's one of those shows like, here's a tiny, maybe not realistic glimpse into the anime industry. I mean, there's another show right now called Bakuman, about these two kids who team up and become manga artists, and kind of the same thing. So, I mean, like this show by no means does it, uh, probably isn't even close to being realistic. It just has a very loose affiliation with it, you know. But I mean, it was fun for 40 minutes of an episode. It was pretty fun. I liked it. And, uh, I'll just quickly gloss over the episode too. There's also another episode called Animation Runner Crew Me 2, easy enough. Basically, they do a good job on the time journeys. It's like three or four months later or something like that. They get given three shows. So now they do three shows with the same amount of people, and then they bring in, like, these veteran animators, or whoever, or the anime, or directors, or something, who will cost and cut corners and don't do the in-betweens. And it's just like, okay, silly. But it's like, for the love of anime, we must do the right thing, and this and that. I didn't care for the first. I didn't care for the first. These are actually somebody that, uh, that sounds there. Did I make the pose? They, you know, it's good. For the love of those anime. Not quite. Oh, okay. Well, that's good. Basically, they saw what the outcome was of not. Basically, they referenced the show she really liked again, and showed her what these... It has happened to be that the people who came in working on that show. So, yeah. So, Crew Me 2, in my opinion, isn't as good. But they show her, like, here's what these guys did on your favorite anime when they cut corners, and it looked absolutely terrible. And she's like, no! That can't be. That was my favorite scene. And it looked awful. We must do what we need to do. Screw what those veteran guys say. And it's not as good as my opinion. It's just one of those... And it was okay. So... So, the first one was actually better? Yeah, in my opinion, it was... Much better, in my opinion. So, I give it a 6 out of 10. Wow. You write "chirps things higher" much better than I do there. Well, I mean, I was entertained. It would get kind of entertained. It wasn't something that I was, like, bored while watching. The 40 minutes kind of just flew by. And it was interesting. I wasn't bored, you know what I mean? So, I'll give it on that merit. Could I find probably some faults? Like I said, I did, yes. But they weren't, like... You know, they weren't story-killing plots. You know, plot holes. They were just kind of silly. So... You know, that's all. But, um... Yeah, I gave it a 6 out of 10. I enjoyed it. Was it great? No, not by any means. But... You know, it was interesting. And then you come on, one episode. You can only do so much. Yeah, you can... It's no VA, I mean, come on. It wasn't like it was a 14 or 12 or whatever episode, you know, TV series. So... It's all a nice little story. But if you like more of that stuff, check out Bakuman. Um... They, like I said, they have kids who want to be manga artists or something. And I think it's along the same lines, I guess. So... All right, that is... Animation Runner-Kurumi. All right. Anything else you want to say here before we go? No, I don't think so. So we... Our friend, he's really into cats. And I was gonna... The manga of whatever that... The cat playing thing. G Suite Home? G Suite Home? Yeah, they said that was better than the actual show. Oh, the manga is? I don't know, you told me once it was, I think. Yeah, no, the anime is. The anime, I'd rather just watch the anime, honestly. But like five minute episodes. Can you get that? Okay, I mean, does that something you can buy somewhere? No, you can watch on Crunchyroll though. Okay, I'll see if I can probably get her to teach her how to do that. All right. There you go. Um... Yeah, check out my other podcast, The Titans of Tech. T-O-T podcast.com. If you're into that sort of thing, you can listen to me and my co-host Simon talk about tech. Wait, wait, what? You're cheating on me? I am, I'm sorry. I'm just not satisfied enough. You can't satisfy my podcasting list. My podcasting, your podcasting needs, huh? Exactly, I'm sorry. We could always talk about the, you know, the 3DS or, you know, what's better, um, opera or Internet Explorer. I mean, I can't... Who the fuck is this opera anymore? That's hilarious. I'll use Firefox myself. Yeah, I use Firefox everyday. Based on opera, but... Yes. I'm sad. I tried to use Firefox at work and you got to install it. I have admin privileges. And they're like, I go to the login. You've been blocked. It's like, damn it. I know I'm blocking you, but I shouldn't. So I was like, okay, I'll install. But, uh, yeah. So check out my other tech podcast. You can hear my real name. It's awesome. Of course, if you listened to the very first episode of this show, you'll know my name. Or, yeah, stuff. Yeah, if you listen to the episode with my ex, you can figure out what my real name is to show you now. No one wants to know your crappy name. Of course. Anyway, alright.
