Anyway, we got-- Just like you don't like lolly porn. That's what it is. Yeah, there you go. There. I found the best site the other day. For lolly porn? No. Kinda. Not really. Fertosians, I'm guessing. Is that a yes? I said it to you, Pat. Oh, cool. I'm sure it's like-- I actually-- wait, where'd the window go? Just take it too long. It's perfectly legal. No, it isn't. Uh, no thanks. [LAUGHTER] Anyway. Anyway. No figure, no surprise you have that. You sick ass freak. Like, you remember the old days when people would just post, like, guts and pictures on message boards? Yeah. It's a long time ago when I come down it. I feel all now. I'm not that mean. You're 21. I know. What? You should talk. Shut your mouth. The world goes fast on the internet. That is true. It's like, oh, damn. What's a good analogy? What are you sending me? Why? Just watch it. [LAUGHTER] But yeah, no. We got news. Eventually, we'll get to it. And-- I found a Jolly Rancer. Oh, jeez. Could have muted my bike for a bit. Yeah. We're here with ferocious fapping. We ran out of three musketeers, though. Oh, God. The world's going to end. What the hell is this? [LAUGHTER] I don't know. It turns into a porn, but there's missile shooting and machine gun play, and I don't know. I don't want to watch this right now. Yeah, I was going to save it for the night. Exactly. Anyway, we've got news in our weekly pick. DVD thing. We haven't done forever. Yeah. A lot of good DVDs are actually have come out recently. Yeah, they have.

[LAUGHTER] [LAUGHTER] High on life. [LAUGHTER] Should you move to the zoos? I don't know. Patch is too happy laughing. You leave me by my-- anyway, moving on to the news since I could stop these guys from joking around. Hey, we're trying to be all serious and professional over here, trying to at least provide a journalistic, professional-sounding product. Yeah, right. And you're talking about three most [INAUDIBLE] years and stuff. And you want to send me a video so good or something? Hey, that's important. It gets you through each podcast. Anyway, now let's start with the news. OK. OK. OK. OK. This week in Anime News, brought to you by Anime News Network. [MUSIC PLAYING] What's that? [INAUDIBLE] Yeah, not really anything. Crunchyroll. Yeah, Crunchyroll finally did something that we've discussed at Nauseum. They went legit. Well, not quite yet. July 8th, they are going legit. They're going to stop accepting user-created. Oh, what'd I say? July? Yeah. Hey, is there with a jade? Good enough. Yeah, seven months different. Oh, my. January 8th, Crunchyroll is going to stop accepting user-created content and user-submitted videos and go all legit. And they've announced that they're going to be streaming a lot of new stuff. Yeah, an hour or two. An hour after the Japanese airing-- That's if you pay for me if you have an paid account. Yeah. Wait, how much is a paid account? Like three bucks a month or something. I guarantee you that'll go up. Otherwise, you get it at the same time as it, like, juiced hulu and-- Nouruto.com, which is like a week or something. Yeah, it's a week. It's a week later, which is still pretty darn good. And they're going to get some other stuff, too. They're getting some other-- they're getting Shugo Chara. Supposedly, they're getting Gintama and Skip Beat. And I think two more that they haven't said, which ones yet? Still. Now, I imagine the fact that they've got Nouruto and all these other TV Tokyo things is why they had to go legit. It was one of those things. They had to make a decision. And they made the one that is more lucrative for them. It raised hell in their farms. Well, hell, yeah, I was reading bitches. Well, exactly. Yeah, everyone was like, oh, God, this is terrible. Fuck this, I'm leaving. Yeah, well-- Oh, oh, they're killing their fan base. Oh, my God. Libraries shrinks so much when this actually decrease their ad revenue, eventually. See, it's a complicated one because their library's going to shrink in the short term and hopefully grow in the long term. Whoa, no. They're thinking long term, man. I'm not thinking-- But that wouldn't that depend on the success of-- Oh, yeah, but that's-- yeah, but obviously, that means that there are some good signs of what they've done already being a success. Well, once they go legit, they cannot go back. They can't-- Well, I'm just saying. I mean-- Are they removing everything? That's the one thing I was wondering about, and I'm thinking, are they just stopping me? No, they haven't. No, I've been saying new stuff. Well, they haven't-- I mean, on January 8, I'm starting to get out with the-- Oh, I think they're doing their-- I guarantee you they will. Or I guarantee they'll revamp, like, they come with a new layout or-- Hopefully, because that's probably-- That's the biggest problem with the site is its ass. [LAUGHS] The site is ass. You should call them up right now and offer your services. Well, I'm not a web designer, so I can't help them with that. Well, well, they need to get something like-- If it was as good as Hulu, I'd use it all the damn time. Because Hulu is so well done. It's like, well, Hulu is pretty. Well, Hulu is pretty. No, no, no, it works. It works good. It works good. Loads quick. Of course, I've had zero problems. Even on the H.264 mode, streaming-- I'm not saying that there's even problems with it. I'm just saying at what time it is. Oh, no, you don't like the layout. Yeah, the layout makes-- The layout makes my brain hurt and makes me go, hey, I don't want to be on this site anymore. Yeah, exactly. And Hulu is pretty, so I like Hulu. It's like a black-- Hulu and you just need some work on its navigation for finding individual shows. Yeah, but it's still better than used. Yeah. Juice is complete shit when it comes to it. I like-- I prefer Juice when it was a desktop app. Now that it's like-- But they had to go web-based, I mean. Well, yeah, they wouldn't have been able to compete otherwise. Yeah. Hulu is still better than Juice, though. Juice has been around longer. Juice has been around a lot longer. No, well, that's Juice's fault. Age doesn't make it better. Yeah, look at Yahoo. Yeah, Yahoo's old. Yahoo's old and they're dying. Yeah, it has a lot of money. I'm going to see basketball or football. Hey, I know there's a lot of crap that's completely worthless to them. Yahoo has so much extra shit. All right, before we digress-- Yeah, exactly. The only question I really have about this whole crunchy roll thing is now, OK, now they're offering Shugo Chara. Will they still be offering it a year from now? You know, is it going to be on a limited basis? Is it going to be like now where they just kind of index everything and it's at your fingertips? Probably. Probably. And do you think it's going to be a competing website? I mean, like, there's platforms out there you can download. Well-- I could do this right now. I can't think of the platform name. I've set it up for companies before in the past. What do you mean, like a-- It's a YouTube-esque platform. Someone that come around to replace the illegal content? Yeah. Well, yeah. I mean, that's inevitable. There are still already sites like that. It's just this one. I'm pretty sure one will just gain more popularity at this. People will all cling on to another one after this one goes off on the eighth. But this one will still get the people going for the legit. And it's just a slow process with this whole moving towards. Yeah, it's not going to happen overnight or I'll play with a switch. I don't know. Yeah, well-- But yeah, they're getting there and it's a nice thing to see. Yep. I mean, I mean, once they offer something that I'm interested in watching, I'll watch stuff on it. They have an offer to single thing that I'm really interested in yet, though. Same here. It's like I might watch Slam Dunk, but I'm waiting for them to put more than four episodes up before I start watching it on there. But besides that, not much. Some stuff on Hulu, I want. That's because they have-- There's some funimation stuff on Hulu. Like Mushishi. I want to watch Triple X Hollick on there and Mushishi. I just wonder if they're going to keep the sub versions or the dubbed versions or-- Well, it's also-- Oh, shit was like an option. Yeah, it's like a very show-to-show one. Shit, doesn't it? Yeah, well, I don't know. I don't know why they do that. I don't know. Change things up, I guess. It'd be nice to see more catalog things. Like older stuff pop up there. That's like out of print to me or-- Well, out of print. Or older stuff that isn't available in the US, even. That would be freaking cool. Like older stuff that never going to-- That stuff wouldn't happen for a while, though. Yeah, no. But well, all the Toei shit isn't available on DVD here. Some of it was released on DVD for a brief period of time. But Toei fucked up their DVD release royally. So they kind of gave up on it, at least for now. It's like Slam Dunk was one of the only ones they did have released for, and they didn't even finish it. It's like, oh, man. Because that's what I'd buy. But I'm reading it out instead. Yeah, speaking of Toei, they're being sued because of the Dragon Ball, or the Gold Lion movie. Oh, the Voltron movie. Yeah. They're complicated, illegal, thingy. Basically, the movie studio is one of the rights and owns the rights to Voltron from Toei. But world entertainment, world-something pictures. Yeah, some gay name. Wet, I think they call themselves. W-E-P. I can't remember what the East-- I think it's entertainment. Product-- no, it's world entertainment productions. Yeah, that's a world entertainment productions who produced Voltron. [INAUDIBLE] Man. Yeah, that was really useful for me. Hey, shut up. And Jenny Ann is going to be merging with Universal Pictures of Japan. So-- I don't think-- I thought about that, and it's like, hey, probably Jack shit will happen because of this. Think so? Yeah. Nothing will happen. I don't see Universal and this stuff any time soon. So are you a big Macross fan, Pat? Kinda, not a huge one. Oh, yeah, this is one of the stories I was like, eh. Yeah. Keira Cowell is going to be launching a Macross themed magazine whoopie. I personally care less, but someone out there-- yeah. No shocker here. Four Kids is to end its Fox programming block in December. Four Kids is basically known for the whole one piece, and they're royally fucked up-- Dub of it. --heaps of it, and dub of it, and airing of it, times, and yeah, now I'm just going to focus on Yu-Gi-Oh. Basically, yeah, Yu-Gi-Oh is very important to them. Works for me. Why is it so popular? Yeah, I don't know. Because you've got to believe in the heart of the cards. Shut up. I mean, who the hell watches Kirby? Who the hell watches Sonic X? Hey, hey, hey, don't talk crap about Kirby. What? Who is it? Hey, talk to him. I like you watch this shows. No, I did it well. Exactly. Yeah, yeah, I did too, a long-ass time ago. Hey, shut your mouth, oh. When you're eight-- God, you don't have cable TV. All you get is locals. You learn to like shit. Well, shit was awesome back then. Yeah, Sonic the Hedgehog, the animated series with badass. Not really. Shut up. I'm kind of shocked, actually. Oh, Dragon Ball. Yay. Boo. Boo? No, boo. Boo. Oh, come on, let's see. Push you up the release date of the Dragon Ball live action movie to the 8th of April. Oh, it comes out right before Easter, neat. Woo-hoo-hoo. Because you know it's going to kick the incredible amounts fast. No, it won't. Anyway, CG, it'll be a CG-filled pilot garbage. And it won't even-- it'll just be a pilot garbage. It won't even have the CG. No, yah, yah, yah, yah. OK, movie's over. Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha. Hey, it will. No, I was pretty sure you're bummed about this. Well, you're fine. That's the broccoli. I actually know, because there's not a single thing from them that I was buying. Broccoli or national USA is shutting itself down, because they didn't release jack shit. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Come on, they did you, Tara, Galaxy Angel, and what, Sola, Aquarian Age? Not much that I care about. But they also, they owned all-- yeah. They also owned Cinch Point. Interestingly enough, the guys at them released FLCL. Oh, I'll be sure. I was hoping that-- so unless-- there's a chance we could get be released, but I guess I'm so-- Actually, I'm willing to bet someone is going to pick up that license and re-release it in a cheap ass box set, making all these rare box sets work for jack shit. But it wasn't like-- Nevermind. I don't know what I'm saying. It'll probably be like Bandai. I'm going to say now, Bandai is going to rescue the license and re-release it. Well, I know. They're kicking so much ass everywhere. They're whooping everyone's ass in terms of profit and-- I don't know. They're like-- Funimation's doing pretty damn good, too, though. Better. That's truly, actually. Funimation's doing the best, but-- Final story is this-- I think you're-- we're saying something with us on Twitter. Yeah. Me as God. Me as a dog's manga is getting an animated series, or an animated-- Never heard of this. Oh, it kicks so much ass. Explain. I don't want it. It's complicated. It's hard to explain. But I'm not saying, like, explain the fucking story. I'm just saying, like-- Well, it takes place in this weird kind of futuristic European looking city, and then it's like these. It's got a lot of very independent stories that are all kind of connected about this group of different people. There's this weird guy that's belong. That's like an albino who's-- I can't even-- he like can't die, if I remember correctly. I might be wrong. Sweet. This is one guy who's like this crazy-- or it's like an iPads or something. And there's this one big ass former sassing guy. It's hard for me to explain, because I'm already in a while, either. But the manga's like just started coming out. Or it's-- no, it hasn't even started. It starts coming out in, like, April here. Oh, I already have it pre-ordered. And I'm like, really excited to get a hold of it. Because-- I'm really looking forward to watching a switch. One I've heard about that-- that manga. And what I've read-- and I mean, I was going to purchase one, but they really didn't. But it seems really interesting. Yeah, I've got the first-- yeah, the dogs volume zero comes out in April. Volume zero. All right. They're doing computer numbering. Oh, no. Well, the first volume's like a prequel. I don't know that, too. So it's called bone zero. And that's what they're calling it. It works for me, as long as I get a hold of it. I don't even really care what it's calling. What? Go. So you know what came out on DVD this week? It's another week, and more DVDs are being released. What should you get? It's time for the weekly DVD mix. Yes, I do. Tons and tons of shit. Something that-- oh, Mr. Icy's car has. That was kind of excited to get. Whoa, whoa, whoa, what is it? He messed his pants because of it. Oh, snap. Oh, yeah. What is it? Um, Gorilla Gone, part one. All right. Yeah. I hope you enjoyed it. I already watched it. I immediately got it for the little light up cordial thing. So it's almost like I paid $45 for that. Yeah, but now you've got to buy the other two parts of the series so you have it all. Yeah, yeah. No, is this a dub version or no? Yeah. This stuff. Nice, how was the dub? He just watched it on TV. Well, I didn't watch anything on TV, so man. I don't really care about the dub either. I'm just buying the limited edition. You know, I'm just getting it just to have it. Yeah, basically. Although it'd be nice if it came out on Blu-ray. And it'd also be nice if I had a Blu-ray player. Nah. I think it'll suck as it comes out on Blu-ray because I already have it on DVD. I mean, like fuckers. You buy everything twice anyway. I don't buy anything twice. Bullshit. I'm looking-- I don't have like any double dips. Yeah, you've told us in the past. Yeah, I've got like stuff that I bought a box set of after I bought the first volume of. I don't have anything like rebying an entire series though. I don't know. I saw that full metal panic came out on DVD in Japan. $300 for the second raid. Oh, you mean the Blu-ray? Yeah, oh, sorry. Yeah, what am I smoking? Yeah, the Blu-ray. What I was smoking earlier. Yeah. I downloaded it. My computer's gay, or I don't know how to play it. So it was 48 gigabytes, so I was like, holy fuck. And I didn't see any quality-- I wonder if it's an upscale. Probably is. For 300 bucks, I better hope. Nah, damn. I think it is. I think all a full metal panic was upscale, but I'm not 100% sure. So I was looking at it, and I was like, oh, I wonder how much it cost to buy? $300. I'm like, go to hell. Yeah, that's kind of cool. No, thank you. Yeah, that was-- it was high even for Japan, if I remember correctly. Because, I mean, I paid 300 bucks for, like, the entire series. I mean, that's every single frickin' disk, you know, somewhere around that, after shipping and all that. But I mean, like, just to buy it all over again. I mean, I've got two copies of-- I've got two copies, you know, two sets of-- Fromafu. Fromafu, you know. Thank you. Look at me, fromafu. Should I? Yeah. Yeah, we'll see. There it is. After I ask her, I-- Dude, you've not seen the show. You don't know how badass it is. No, you know what else is-- No, just one week. What else cares about the same six? Really? Yeah? Volume 5 just came out two weeks ago, and I got six out now. No, I'm talking about the week that we're currently in. Are you talking about next week? No, 25th. Oh, wait. Oh, fuck, I'm sorry. Yeah, we'll get on this down the front page of the internet. Stupid. Hey, you know what, quiet, Jungen. Back to your essays. You can get Itsudate, my Santa. That's out this week. They released that last year. I know, and they re-released it this year. Isn't that a hand-to-hand? No. Oh, I'm thinking of-- oh, okay, I'm thinking of my 60 Santa better on the market. Santa OVA, I'm from Kenakamatsu. Yeah. Everybody's favorite mangaka. Who's that again? The love female guy. I don't know. I got it. I ordered it, and it came like two weeks ago. It came way early. It's like, I'm not going to watch it till closer to Christmas. And also, I only paid eight bucks for it, so-- There you go. Because I got it on sale, so it ended up being dirt cheap. Oh, let's see, the 18th. Yeah, we're on the gun. Woo. Thanks to volume four. There you go. It's like, hey, you want to be so we can hear you? Oh, right. And Death Note, my girlfriend or my fiance, AKA wife, soon. Also, no. We love that. She loves death. Oh, no, I'll get it out a little earlier than that. Yes, I am getting married in two days, and this is the last time you hear me as a free man. Two days? Two days? Saturday. I'm going to a wedding in two days. Good for you. I don't know you that well, man. I'm sorry. Yeah, I know I read that. I was like, oh, that's kind of cool. I need to get lucky. Star volume-- Yeah, I need volume four. I need volume four. Yeah, I need volume four as well. We've seen one through three so far. But not-- I'll get four eventually. I hooked my wife on "Frickin' Death Note." She loves that show and-- No, no, it's "Boxets" or-- No, exactly. That's the first half of the show. Yeah, that's where she was bummed out. I just got Death Note volume seven, and she was like, can we watch it? Because every time we'd watch it, it was a shit we saw on TV. So we're walking pretty sad. But we never finished anything. Why don't you check the episodes? What do you mean? No, because I just get it just because. So I have it, because Death Note kicks ass. Supposedly. What do you mean, the show is good? Oh, you're not a drama, yes. Oh, I don't know. Did either of you see the Astro Boy teaser that came out today? No, I'm not sure about Astro Boy. Exactly. I did not-- What is wrong with you, people? I don't have-- Yeah, you don't want to-- Yeah, I'm sure it's cool. No, I just don't care about old-ass anime. Yes, I know it's significantly important. But I just don't care. Yeah, but this is the new CG animated. Whoopi-- hey, maybe a CG does not make it better. Yeah, but that's implying that Astro Boy was bad in the first place. Hey, I watched bits and pieces of it. I did not enjoy it. I did not care for it. Well, you're just not-- Come and try it. Probably never will. Well, I'll see the CG movie, because the trailer looked cool. And I want to support a magic, because they're a damn cool studio that's working on Gotcha Man next. And I have to see that movie. Because I haven't seen Gotcha Man either. And that movie is going to kick ass, hopefully. But it is this term, like-- Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Hey, coffee with the show. Yo. This is family-friendly fucking stuff. Well, watch your language, bitch. This is family-friendly, motherfucker. God. That's a shit. I'm gone. We have advertisers, we have to please. Do we? No, we don't. Yeah, we do, actually. Hey, I got Twizzlers. Oh, that's it. You're fired. No, we don't have any advertisers. I signed us up for Skype, and then I just never bothered. We've got Twizzlers, rainbow twists. Oh, yum. Other than bite size? Yes. Aw, sweetie. They're not for individual retail sale. Aw, snap. You want to tell me something? No, they're not for individual retail sale. We're supposed to be badass hardcore against that. Well, I could sell to you anyway, because I'm not retail. Big guy sell this shit on the corner to young kids. I sell Twizzlers to young kids on the corner. Shut up. Shut up. Shut up. No, no, no. I'm not going to-- How do I view-- You mute yourself, bitch. That's too funny. Hey, it's a weird looking cover. For what? Afterboy? No. No, it's almost identical, yeah. Oh, man. I have been looking at DVDs, and it's like, fuck. I wish I could buy some. There's so many good, complete boxets that have come out. I know. They certainly have. There have been. I know. It's like-- It blows your fucking mind, right? It does. Shipwrecks. That sounds painful, doesn't it? Yeah, I assume so. You know what, I've got comin' in the mail. The "Toward the Terra" movie, the new remaster that came out from Nozomi. Oh, my god. It's super exciting. You're my excited-- you're my excited tone. Oh, hi. Freakin' remastered, man. Remastered. You know what that means? It's extra good. No, it probably cut a bunch of extras, and just slapped the remastered to stick around it. No, it's Nozomi. They actually do a good job. And I've seen comparisons. They actually did a good job. Oh, it's the 25th. You know-- you know, yeah, next week. You know what's confusing me? No. Why these companies are doing, like, complete box sets, but then, like, three months later-- Oh, pretty in collection. Well, that's Funimation's thing. Well, yeah, the Funimation's being a homo. Hey, that's offensive. Hey. Well, what the seriously? Like, for example, they're on, like, their 19th gunslinger girl, like, complete whatever. They're on, like, fourth peach girl, like, whatever, complete thing. Well, this is a whole concept of-- well, part of it is they got to change packaging and shit to keep it on the shelves. That's part of it. They got to keep shit on the shelves. It's not that fast. You're exaggerating a little. Also, like, with Gunslinger Girl and a couple others, like, the first shows that were released in Viridian sets, the sets were really shitty. Oh, so they're just repackaging them and-- Basically, they're packaging them and not shitty? That kind of sucks. Buy that stuff and get crapped on. Yeah. Oh, well-- It's your fault for buying shitty. Well, I buy you to sell whatever. Well, I got-- Well, I'm using shitty or different. I'm going to have to leave. OK. It's OK. So long, I guess you store them. Thanks for having me. So long. Yeah, check out the minimum tempo. Go.com thing, where you can find all the lollifun that heat per takes in. She's not really about the lollies. He's about the traps. It's all about the lollies, yo. No, he's all about traps, man. There you go. Traps are welcome, too. Anyway, I'll see you guys later. See you, man. He's man. All right. See you. Bye. Bye. Bye. Now that he's gone, man, that jerk. God. Barely says anything. Ridicules us. I think we should kill him. Tell you what, man, flatulence. What? [LAUGHTER] That was having fun tonight, man. Yes, I know. This shows a lot of nothing. But I'm happy to be back doing this, because, yeah, I don't know. Do my thing. Do my thing. Man, that is a thing you do. What is a thing I do? I actually know what's been crazy is we are getting a more and bigger presence in Singapore. Singapore now is our number one listening base. That's kind of weird. It is, because all we talk about is like R1 releases. Hey, Singapore. You rock. Yeah. Whoo! Yeah, go Singapore. I know people in Singapore. I think. What the hell? Let's do a webcam. All of a sudden, Skype popped up. Hey, video enabled. Chat has enabled. No, it's not. [MUSIC PLAYING] Yeah. [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] All right, this week we have Detroit Metal City. Basically, the show is 12 episodes, and it's fucking hilarious. They go back and now flipping out of the head, because it's death metal, they're swearing, drug use. And hey, who doesn't want to be in a death metal band? Unfortunately for us, Negishe doesn't want to be in a death metal band. But he found himself from wanting to be a Swedish pop singer into the quickly rising band known as Detroit Metal City. And basically, he's really good at what he does. He plays his name as Crowzer. And Jonas Crowzer is his name on stage. And Crowzer is a freak. He does anything. He does anything to get a crowd moving and just crazy. It's crazy. So basically, Negishe is a soft-spoken 22, 24, get kind of range. He's done with college, and he runs into a friend. And she does not like death metal at all. And she remembers Negishe as a nice, soft-spoken guy, calm, and who likes Swedish metal music? And so she still asks, well, are you still into that? And he says, oh, yeah, of course. And yes, he secretly wants to still become a Swedish pop artist. But unbeknownst to her, he is Crowzer. So the series is really Negishe keeping the secret and getting into a lot of wacky situations, like the band's album drops. He's running from an interview at a local record store all the way across the street at a cafeteria or at a cafe and having a switch costume and things, and blah, blah, blah. You could figure it out. But there's a lot of really weird, oddball characters, like the president. She's like the management of the record label, the death records. She uses, like, intimidation and, like, threats to get what she wants. Like, Negishe is always, like, oh, I don't want to do this. Or, you know, I feel bad at that in shows. You know, that was great. You know, that was great. One point he threatens to quit the band because he's just so tired of being Crowzer. And she, like, is going to whoop his ass. Then there's also-- one of the character stands out-- is the pig. It's a millage, man. He does get his own episode, actually. And he's basically a masochist. He dresses up in a woman's underwear and makeup. And Crowzer hates and, like, rapes them and stuff. But that's another thing. These lyrics are so over the top. Like, the song I listen to now is the intro song. It's talking about murder and rape. And one of the songs is-- I'm a terrorist straight out of hell. I raped my mom yesterday. I'm going to ask, fuck, my dad tomorrow. I'm a terrorist straight out of hell. Yeah, it's crazy. And that's the other thing that makes it serious-- so kind of funny-- is because the fans are so rabid. Like, Negishe goes back to his farm thinking-- you know, maybe see his parents' brother thinking, oh, OK. Finally, I get away from DMC for a while and be me. Well, Turns out his brother really likes DMC. And treats his mom like shit and his total asshole. So this was so funny about this. There's other instances that happen in the show that could take on the context or anything else. Which leads to, let's say, rape of inanimate objects, which is quite hilarious. You know, these guys have good songs, like death penis and rape pig bitches and all kinds of great stuff. So they're really Detroit Metal City in an nutshell. I mean, it's a really good anime. What I found really nice about it, though, was the episodes are eight wins long, with, you know, if you skip past the intro, and then you turn it off after, you know, when the outro starts, eight minutes. Oh, I just thought it was there, 13. But you get eight, seven, eight minutes worth of content. Boom, boom, boom. I sat through the show in about three hours, not even. I have to definitely check it out. If you're looking for something quick, short, sweet, there was a movie actually made and released in August, which looks really funny. After you see the anime, check out the trailer on youtube.com. Just freaking spot on. So yeah, that's Detroit Metal City for you. Now we'll go back to where we left off. I did not feel good of a review. I didn't get it a few days to think about it. Yeah, can't hold this up on my head, so thanks for listening. Pat took the bonds I'd be. That's good to hear. Yeah. So I'm going to cut that down just a little and editing, but whatever. Yeah, check out the bonds I beat, as always. I haven't been posting there too much, just because it's been kind of dead and quiet for things. I'll add the trailer for the show on there. Yeah, check it out. Well, got a new one. The bonds I effect has been, quote unquote, pre-released. Basically, it's gone live. Oga started. Some new blog. New blog, yeah. I think it's going to be-- Anime Banzai is going to be episode reviews and stuff only. And this is going to be more of an expanse on everything. Yeah, like you're going to be finding our podcasts at the Banzai effect.com and whatnot as well, but I mean, yeah, it's interesting to say the least. Yeah. I think it's been defined. Basically, yeah. Well, I think that's it for this week, my friend. Indeed, I'm happy to do this. Yeah, it's fun to do. And let me say one more thing before we leave, and that is congratulations. Thank you. Good luck. Oh, well, that much is going to change. I mean, just because you get married differently, I think that much would change, I hope. Well, congratulations. That's how about that? Gracias. There you go. Two more days. Exactly. No. Yeah. Anyway-- Get all the gate porn in that you can before it happens. What? I don't know. It's going for something funny. I wanted to wear it. You can cut that one out. Wow, OK. [LAUGHS] Anyway, there's Jilikun saying Sayonara. That's Pat saying something besides Sayonara. There you go. If that's tomorrow is on, yeah. Mm-hmm. Wait, you.
