00:00:39

00:01:29
wherever you have have time I've been
00:01:30
using it every day since we got back to
00:01:33
Canada to keep myself fresh for our
00:01:35
return to Japan sneaking in lessons
00:01:37
between writing and recording sessions
00:01:39
In This Very office and more than once
00:01:42
on the can and thanks to Rosetta Stone's
00:01:45
automated pronunciation engine I get to
00:01:47
keep that between me the app and my
00:01:49
toilet and the tens of thousands of
00:01:52
people watching this video now while
00:01:54
still getting helpful feedback on how
00:01:56
I'm saying stuff it also helps that
00:01:58
their audio tracks are recorded by real
00:02:01
native speakers and they even have
00:02:03
learner friendly stories to practice
00:02:05
reading aloud which really help pass the
00:02:07
time when I'm fighting for my life on
00:02:08
the porcelain Throne once again Rosetta
00:02:11
Stone has a great deal to offer
00:02:13
exclusively for mother's basement

00:02:27
fluency today and keep learning wherever
00:02:30
your travels take you next speaking of
00:02:32
bite-sized stuff every item on tonight's
00:02:34
menu comes with an optional side of
00:02:37
plus-size elf an anime about a world
00:02:40
that's got portals to other worlds and
00:02:43
sometimes elf Girls plus other types of
00:02:46
girl come through those and then they
00:02:49
get addicted to processed foods cuz they
00:02:51
don't have those in fantasy worlds but
00:02:53
then the portal uses a weight sensor so
00:02:56
they got to like work that off to go
00:02:58
back or to use magic without their magic
00:03:01
thong that they need to use magic
00:03:03
snapping on their bedona donks which is
00:03:05
obviously a problem cuz you can't do
00:03:07
magic without your magic thong also
00:03:09
there's this massage therapy
00:03:12
nutritionist type guy who helps them
00:03:15
lose that weight and sees them naked a
00:03:17
lot because their clothes are made of
00:03:19
tissue paper it's one of those anime but
00:03:22
you know for chubby chasers who frankly
00:03:25
are one of the most underserved kinds of
00:03:27
pervert in the entire anime community so
00:03:30
more powered tool I say aside from some
00:03:33
surprisingly good health and wellness
00:03:35
tips every episode that really is all
00:03:37
this anime has to offer it's basically
00:03:40
empty calories but that's exactly what
00:03:42
you want from a basket of french fries
00:03:44
at the end of the day sure maybe those
00:03:46
fries are a wee bit misshapen sometimes
00:03:49
due to the guys making them barely
00:03:51
having time to sleep between all day
00:03:53
shifts at their subminimum wage job but
00:03:55
they get the job done and you don't got
00:03:58
to buy the Blu-ray to see their nipples
00:04:00
by the way in those last few sentences
00:04:02
french fries was a clever euphemism for
00:04:05
big fat anime T I give plus size elf
00:04:08
three novelty trash can-shaped bread
00:04:11
baskets if that's too spicy a side for
00:04:13
your palette we also offer pseudo Harum
00:04:16
as a substitute which isn't a short
00:04:18
anime uh but it may as well be for how
00:04:21
much plot there actually is in it it's
00:04:23
also not particularly trashy just a cute
00:04:26
little comedy about theater kids
00:04:27
flirting via anime tropes but you're the
00:04:29
one who wanted a blander side dish don't
00:04:31
blame me one Bread Basket if you're
00:04:34
looking for something in a more medium
00:04:35
heat range 2.5d seduction might be just
00:04:39
the thing remember how my dress up
00:04:41
darling surprised Everyone by not being
00:04:44
a bog standard harm thing about a
00:04:46
stereotypical otaku loser surrounded by
00:04:48
insanely hot mostly naked amateur models
00:04:51
for some reason well you can finally
00:04:53
forget what they took from us because
00:04:56
this is that bug standard horm thing
00:04:59
anime Club Senpai masamune is a hardcore
00:05:02
otaku who's sworn off treacherous 3D
00:05:05
women for the 2D purity of Lili L the
00:05:09
scantily clad angel from his favorite
00:05:11
childhood battle anime he was way too
00:05:14
young for who's ever loyal to its
00:05:16
protagonist Ashford meanwhile love
00:05:19
interest kohai lilisa wants to be Lili
00:05:23
and is quite impressed with his castoff
00:05:25
figure collection cuz they make such
00:05:27
great costume references also if he
00:05:30
wouldn't mind too much she'd very much
00:05:32
like it if he'd take some sexy pictures
00:05:34
of her please all of which puts his
00:05:36
long-term life plan to die a virgin for
00:05:39
his waifu in serious Jeopardy though not
00:05:42
that serious since they're both dense
00:05:44
enough to have their own event Horizons
00:06:05
but further complicating matters and
00:06:07
filling out the Harum is this other
00:06:09
childhood kohai he used to play Ashford
00:06:12
and lilial with on the playground way
00:06:14
back in the day before she moved away
00:06:16
after realizing that he only had eyes
00:06:19
for his waifu even though she started
00:06:21
doing her hair like that waifu so
00:06:24
obviously since that wasn't enough to
00:06:26
get his attention she decided to become
00:06:29
a f famous model entirely so Senpai
00:06:32
would notice her and now she's back at
00:06:35
the school to see if that worked it
00:06:38
didn't but they both think she'd be
00:06:40
great as the succubus side chick from
00:06:42
the anime so long story short they end
00:06:45
up faking orgs together on the clubroom
00:06:47
floor though tragically they cannot
00:06:49
share the resulting pictures anywhere
00:06:52
because that would go against her
00:06:54
contract you know her modeling contract
00:06:57
that she has entirely because she's
00:06:59
obsessed with this one guy who she can't
00:07:01
stop thinking about how he ignored her
00:07:03
for anime that is seriously her
00:07:07
backstory also their sexy teacher is a
00:07:10
secret cosplayer though she does not
00:07:12
seem to be interested in protag Kun in
00:07:15
any way which is an important
00:07:17
distinction we will get to why that is
00:07:19
an important distinction when we're
00:07:21
talking about another anime this season
00:07:23
and credit where it's due speaking as a
00:07:25
cosplay boyfriend this show does get a
00:07:27
lot of the little details about the
00:07:29
Hobby and its culture right and it's got
00:07:31
some very solid women supporting women
00:07:34
Vibes which we love to see but let's not
00:07:36
split hairs here this is pure male wish
00:07:39
fulfillment horm anime nonsense which we
00:07:42
also love to see even if it is a little
00:07:44
toned down from the manga 2.5d seduction
00:07:47
gets three flaming dumpsters full of
00:07:49
sexy cosplay outfits and props Now
00:07:53
ladies worry not the anime industry's
00:07:55
cooked up something just as shallow and
00:07:57
shamelessly wish fulfilling for you to
00:08:00
enjoy in true beauty yet another
00:08:03
Crunchyroll funded webtune adaptation
00:08:05
that they're not calling Crunchyroll
00:08:07
Originals anymore because that brand is
00:08:10
radioactive though unlike their last two
00:08:13
unbranded webtune things about bullied
00:08:15
nobodies who become somebodies by
00:08:17
learning to fight real good this one's
00:08:20
about a bullied nobody who becomes a
00:08:21
Somebody by learning to do makeup real
00:08:24
good though she still does that with a
00:08:26
YouTube tutorial so it's not entirely un
00:08:29
like viral hit protag Chan even goes
00:08:32
unwittingly viral to the point that
00:08:34
random people she doesn't know are
00:08:35
talking about her over
00:08:42
burgers and speaking of not at all weird
00:08:45
psycho Behavior she's also nominated
00:08:48
behind her back for this face Mash style
00:08:50
hot girl ranking site that her new art
00:08:52
school has for some reason which is a
00:08:56
big point of stress for her actually not
00:08:58
for any of the obvious reasons that
00:09:00
would be stressful but because it might
00:09:02
expose her deep dark secret that she
00:09:06
uses makeup to cover her is that acne
00:09:09
freckles just general redness she kind
00:09:12
of just looks like a conventionally
00:09:14
pretty actress trying to win an Oscar
00:09:16
for being so brave which is wild because
00:09:20
this is animation the one Mass medium
00:09:23
where ugly characters don't have to look
00:09:26
like that but everyone at her old school
00:09:29
was tripping her and drawing clown faces
00:09:31
on her for being so ugly so I guess in
00:09:33
the context of this fictional world
00:09:35
where nobody understands how makeup
00:09:37
Works she must actually be that ugly and
00:09:41
need to hide it but oh no this hot boy
00:09:45
who likes the same metal bands and
00:09:47
horror books as her saw her without
00:09:49
makeup and he's a little bit of a jerk
00:09:53
whatever will she do basically this
00:09:56
shows Hannah Montana If instead of
00:09:58
singing her big secret is she's not like
00:10:01
other girls or for the cultured among
00:10:04
you it's K Koo if yukino didn't actually
00:10:08
have any flaws and was only worried
00:10:10
about people finding out she's kind of
00:10:12
frumpy sometimes animated in the style
00:10:14
of Totally Spies for some reason it's
00:10:17
exactly the kind of ludicrously
00:10:19
contrived lowest common denominator
00:10:21
pandering [ __ ] that sells like hot
00:10:24
cakes cuz a lot of chicks are just as
00:10:26
lonely and sad as the dudes self-
00:10:28
inserting M themselves into Soo leveling
00:10:30
though I will say girls if you're
00:10:33
looking for Comfort garbage last
00:10:35
season's vampire dormatory was way more
00:10:39
fun true beaut is definitely sweet but
00:10:42
so much that it's liable to make anyone
00:10:44
over 18 puke I give it two rusty old
00:10:47
dumpsters decked out in flowers and fril
00:10:50
pink [ __ ] and filled to the brim with
00:10:52
Stanley Cups as in the Tik Tock popular
00:10:56
collectible cup brand Stanley not the
00:10:59
famous hockey trophy I feel like that's
00:11:01
an important distinction to make because
00:11:02
the next item on our menu the Osan
00:11:05
newbie Adventurer is explicitly made for
00:11:08
sad men in their 30s and 40s who will
00:11:10
have no idea what those cups even are
00:11:14
though their girlfriends
00:11:21
might finally a fantasy anime for
00:11:24
Leonardo DiCaprio a fantasy anime that
00:11:27
dares to say hey remember all them Hot
00:11:30
Blooded big muscled fighting anime you
00:11:33
grew up on we got their theme song guy
00:11:37
and he's twice as old as you
00:11:45
are boy you can really hear the seven
00:11:49
years since kushida did the Dragon Ball
00:11:51
super theme you know I I feel kind of
00:11:53
mean raging on all the old man stuff
00:11:56
feels like bullying your grandpa for
00:11:58
going to see the roll in stones in
00:12:00
concert I love the young
00:12:03
people but it really is the show's only
00:12:07
distinguishing features story-wise it's
00:12:10
about an unfulfilled guy who quits his
00:12:12
job to go work out a bunch then comes
00:12:14
back strong enough to kill monsters in a
00:12:17
single punch although his ranking at the
00:12:19
local monster punching Trade union does
00:12:21
not reflect that skill and so people are
00:12:25
constantly underestimating him
00:12:26
especially rival monster punchers who
00:12:29
think they're hot [ __ ] do I need to
00:12:32
spell this out for you it's fantasy one
00:12:35
punch man with an age
00:12:36
Gap you think that's a gotcha Bud The
00:12:40
Sassy Lost Child is older than saitama
00:12:44
and look normally I'd be 100% on board
00:12:47
for some fantasy one punch man nonsense
00:12:50
I have been known to enjoy such things
00:12:53
quite a lot but the real trouble for
00:12:55
Osan Adventurer is it's airing alongside
00:12:58
I Perry everything which is pretty much
00:13:01
the exact same show only better in every
00:13:05
conceivable way like animation obviously
00:13:09
but also writing instead of a simpering
00:13:12
waifu sidekick I Parry everything pairs
00:13:15
its protag norup with a proper gender
00:13:18
flipped genos this literal princess who
00:13:22
is so convinced of his absolute combat
00:13:26
genius that she takes everything that
00:13:29
this sheltered Backwoods idiot who's
00:13:32
literally never seen a monster before in
00:13:35
his life says at face value in turn
00:13:39
perpetuating his misconceptions that
00:13:42
that's what a regular Goblin looks like
00:13:44
this is just a cow and he's still just a
00:13:47
regular unremarkable dude who's kind of
00:13:50
in a little over his head all of which
00:13:53
makes the joke that he doesn't know how
00:13:56
insanely overpowered he is in infinitely
00:13:59
funnier than how Osan tells
00:14:08
[Music]
00:14:10
it in Osan rickle just pulled the most
00:14:14
insane feet of strength and speed that
00:14:16
anyone has ever seen to absolutely stunt
00:14:19
on the hands down strongest other guy in
00:14:22
the room and then he's just like wow my
00:14:25
opponent sure was going easy on me based
00:14:27
on abs absolutely nothing despite the
00:14:31
fact that he's got this sexy 20-year-old
00:14:33
dark elf maid chick who happens to be
00:14:35
one of the strongest people on the
00:14:38
planet by the way clinging to his arm
00:14:40
and telling him what a tough guy hunky
00:14:43
is constantly and his old job for the
00:14:47
last decade was filing paperwork for the
00:14:51
official Adventurer ranking Bureau I
00:14:55
simply do not buy this jok's premise at
00:14:58
all for one second and I'm so glad they
00:15:01
drop it after the first Arc because
00:15:03
frankly it felt like the show was
00:15:06
gaslighting me it does get a bit better
00:15:08
after we meet the rest of the crazy
00:15:12
characters in Rick's Party and get into
00:15:14
their lifelong quest to collect a bunch
00:15:17
of McGuffin and beat up a really big
00:15:18
monster but compared to the geopolitical
00:15:21
shenanigans that I Parry everything's
00:15:24
gotten up to by its second Arc it's
00:15:26
still no contest which one's worth
00:15:29
watching though it's also no contest
00:15:31
which one's trashier I Parry everything
00:15:33
barely even does fan service and there's
00:15:36
not a stat screen in sight so the best I
00:15:39
can give it is one golden firework
00:15:41
dumpster Osan Adventurer on the other
00:15:44
hand gets three record store bargain
00:15:46
bins full of dad rock albums but even
00:15:49
osan's preferable to the other kind of
00:15:53
underestimated overpowered Adventurer
00:15:55
story you know Edge Lord Garbo like
00:15:58
berser of gluttony about kids who get
00:16:00
bullied super hard for not having good
00:16:03
abilities but then they discover their
00:16:06
abilities are good actually and use them
00:16:09
to make them pay make them all pay which
00:16:13
we got in isekai one of this season in
00:16:16
Failure frame I became the strongest and
00:16:19
annihilated everything with low-level
00:16:21
spells and it might just be the edgiest
00:16:26
isekai trash ever made I know that
00:16:28
that's a bold statement what with all
00:16:30
the slave owning Shield Heroes and
00:16:32
hentai goblins in this genre but this
00:16:34
thing is basically a more trench coat
00:16:37
Mafia pilled take on Ari fetta and that
00:16:40
shows edgy protagonist literally pulls
00:16:44
magic guns out of his trench coat in
00:16:47
contrast to Shield Hero's relatively
00:16:50
cheerful first episode which devotes
00:16:52
only 25% of its runtime to princess
00:16:55
bitch's betrayal failure frames pilot is
00:16:58
literally just a 20 minute long itemized
00:17:01
list of Toka MIM mori's 13 Reasons we
00:17:05
cut from a flashback of his abusive
00:17:07
stepdad abusing him to his present day
00:17:09
classmates bullying him for standing up
00:17:12
for this girl who didn't want to be hit
00:17:13
on on a bus ride then after they all get
00:17:16
iseki all his bullies and the popular
00:17:19
kids get all the high rank gotta skills
00:17:21
while he's stuck at e- rank with
00:17:24
abilities so trashy that the [ __ ]
00:17:26
gacha goddess decides to just throw him
00:17:29
in the literal magic
00:17:39
garbage but that gets announced like
00:17:42
halfway through the episode so at least
00:17:44
there's a little bit of time to balance
00:17:46
all that crap out with some action right
00:17:48
wrong because before he can go to that
00:17:50
death dungeon to do cool anime stuff all
00:17:53
his most popular and op classmates have
00:17:56
got to line up one by one to tell him
00:17:59
that they hate him and his pleading for
00:18:01
his life is totally just killing the
00:18:03
vibe and he should really just read the
00:18:05
room and die already also this unpopular
00:18:08
little emo [ __ ] who he used to be nice
00:18:09
to stabs him in the back the second he
00:18:12
gets a drop of srank social capital and
00:18:15
while that one girl he'd tell not to
00:18:17
come to school tomorrow does of course
00:18:19
stand up for him she just gets knocked
00:18:22
the out for her
00:18:27
trouble and what's our reward for
00:18:30
sitting through that episode long Born
00:18:32
to Die world is a Manifesto some
00:18:35
actually kind of cool CGI monster
00:18:37
designs if I'm being honest grotesque
00:18:39
gangly proportions generally very
00:18:41
creative interpretations of classic
00:18:43
Concepts like the minitar though let me
00:18:45
tell you right now those qualities are
00:18:48
more than offset by the CGI models of
00:18:51
the human characters which they use a
00:18:54
lot and those monster designs are
00:18:56
completely wasted by the show's High
00:18:57
concept anyway since the low-level
00:19:00
spells that his e- rank skill inflicts
00:19:02
are in fact guaranteed hit status
00:19:05
effects which is insane because all of
00:19:08
those have really low hit percentages
00:19:10
otherwise meaning he can instantly
00:19:13
poison and paralyze anything just by
00:19:16
pointing at it it's a Death Note with
00:19:18
extra steps and the extra steps are
00:19:20
torture so instead of fight scenes we
00:19:23
have a series of Big Air quotes dramatic
00:19:26
confrontations in which the hero instant
00:19:28
L wins in one move maybe too if he's
00:19:31
feeling spicy and puts on an act to
00:19:33
lower their guard first then spends the
00:19:35
next 5 to 10 minutes gloating while his
00:19:37
foe agonizingly and slowly dies with no
00:19:41
hope of Escape while turning just the
00:19:43
stupidest shade of Barney
00:19:51
purple don't you worry though failure
00:19:53
frame makes sure you know they all super
00:19:57
duper deserve it and not just his
00:19:59
classmates by an astounding coincidence
00:20:03
11 out of the 12 fantasy thugs he's
00:20:06
murdered so far across four separate
00:20:09
episodes were all distracted by debates
00:20:12
about how much they should his elf wfu
00:20:15
before they murder her right before he
00:20:17
murdered them and the 12th one was about
00:20:20
to do it this clown show makes sao's
00:20:23
Rogues Gallery look rich complex and
00:20:26
varied of course at the end of the day
00:20:28
all just blood bags for him to pop on
00:20:30
the way to murdering his first actual
00:20:33
classmate right we shouldn't expect guys
00:20:35
with screen time measured in minutes or
00:20:37
seconds to be much more complex than the
00:20:39
thugs he fooled by begging for his life
00:20:41
or the Rival type dude he promised he'd
00:20:44
get stronger and fight later but then he
00:20:45
just stabbed him in the back the second
00:20:47
he turned it but outside of those
00:20:48
archetypes they could at least be
00:20:51
different kinds of scumbag right like
00:20:53
surely there's got to be at least one
00:20:56
cannibal out there or a real estate
00:20:59
Speculator I mean Vibes are also the B-
00:21:02
rank classmate he's definitely going to
00:21:04
murder First's whole thing and this
00:21:07
other lesbian classmate who makes one of
00:21:09
the nice girl classmates murder monsters
00:21:11
even though she really doesn't want to
00:21:13
is also molesting her on the side hell
00:21:15
even the king who put a bounty on the
00:21:17
elf Wu's head only did it because if I
00:21:20
can't have her no one will it is
00:21:23
literally ists all the way down like the
00:21:27
author wanted tips from Dan Harmon's
00:21:29
Story Circle but accidentally found that
00:21:31
one deeply unfunny Pyramid Head meme
00:21:34
Instead at least the gotta goddess is
00:21:36
kind of entertaining no scratch that she
00:21:38
is profoundly entertaining like if Aqua
00:21:42
was the villain of konosuba on purpose
00:21:44
instead of by accident
00:21:58
[Music]
00:21:59
but after the intro is done she barely
00:22:02
gets a couple minutes of B plot an
00:22:04
episode to transparently Gaslight
00:22:06
gatekeep and girl boss the out of the
00:22:09
entire class which is some sumptuously
00:22:12
campy villain nonsense don't get me
00:22:14
wrong there's just so little of it next
00:22:17
to this massive heap of samyy dog [ __ ] I
00:22:21
give failure frame five trash cans full
00:22:24
of blood and razors you kind of need a
00:22:26
pallet cleanser after a heap of garbage
00:22:28
that pungent and a shower luckily Cafe
00:22:32
Terrace and its goddesses is back to
00:22:34
serve up another spicy season of classic
00:22:37
Harum comfort food we're now out of the
00:22:39
awkward early phase where all the girls
00:22:42
treat their live-in love interest like
00:22:43
something unpleasant they tracked in off
00:22:45
the street and start catching actual
00:22:48
feelings which is really the make or
00:22:50
break point for this sort of Harum and
00:22:52
in a refreshingly straightforward move
00:22:54
to keep the story moving the show has
00:22:57
opted to just have the all openly
00:22:59
declare their crushes to each other at a
00:23:01
little house meeting that they have
00:23:03
except the suere of course because she's
00:23:06
the suere also the one who does all the
00:23:08
street fighter references and comic
00:23:10
relief may actually have the mind of a
00:23:13
child so no one's sure whether to count
00:23:16
hers but at this point it's all a matter
00:23:18
of tropy formalities before this thing
00:23:20
congeals into a proper competitive
00:23:23
polycule well tropes and the Sunder got
00:23:26
to realize she's more of a soon SST not
00:23:29
to be confused with a Dar that's when a
00:23:32
girl acts like a SST when she's not
00:23:34
being all dar dar to protagon oka's
00:23:37
default mode is still very much soon
00:23:40
soon sadism how she shows her
00:23:55
affection with the will they won't days
00:23:57
resolving into who will first send the
00:23:59
titular Cafe is business booming though
00:24:02
the show does kind of need a new
00:24:04
conflict to keep things interesting and
00:24:07
the one that it's cooked up is just I
00:24:11
mean
00:24:13
so there's an evil horm now this
00:24:17
corporate ass Cafe opens up down the
00:24:19
road run by this old real estate [ __ ]
00:24:21
who hates hayato's Granddad and wants to
00:24:24
tear down his house and business out of
00:24:26
spite so in order to undermine familia's
00:24:30
reputation this new Cafe family has
00:24:33
hired five waitresses who look exactly
00:24:36
like the goddesses and has them doing
00:24:38
just the most insulting impressions of
00:24:41
them while also wearing much [ __ ]
00:24:44
wickd Donald's versions of their iconic
00:24:47
handmade uniforms and of course all
00:24:51
those girls are eventually going to fall
00:24:52
for hay to too and just make that whole
00:24:54
side of things crazier but for the
00:24:56
moment these wuss are Out For Blood
00:24:59
business blood and I'm honestly
00:25:03
impressed with how uning hinged this
00:25:06
show has managed to get without any
00:25:09
sci-fi or fantasy elements just a story
00:25:13
about a Tokyo University student running
00:25:16
a small business so the hot girls who
00:25:19
were squatting in his grandpa's house
00:25:21
don't become homeless it's truly
00:25:23
carrying on the spirit of that mid 2000s
00:25:27
Anything Goes horri wave which is why
00:25:29
I'm upgrading Cafe Terrace's rating this
00:25:32
season to four modest restaurant waist
00:25:35
bins full of slightly stale yet once
00:25:38
delicious bread sticks and half eaten
00:25:40
Cake Plus someone lit a fire in the
00:25:43
napkin dispenser how's that pallets
00:25:45
cleansed
00:25:48
enough no still got some Edge in there
00:25:51
luckily we've got sweet and spicy menu
00:25:53
items for days this season Alia
00:25:57
sometimes hides her feelings in Russian
00:25:58
is an exquisitly crafted piece of romcom
00:26:01
trash that deafly swerves around
00:26:03
countless will they won't they cliches
00:26:06
by Simply Having its titular girl tell
00:26:08
the nerd she likes that she likes him
00:26:11
upfront in Russian because she's half
00:26:13
Russian and thinks that he as a cute
00:26:15
Japanese boy won't understand what she's
00:26:17
saying but what she doesn't know is he
00:26:19
had a half-russian childhood friend and
00:26:22
thus speaks the language fluently so for
00:26:25
once the shoe is on the other foot or it
00:26:28
ends up there at least after a
00:26:30
suspiciously long and well animated
00:26:32
stocking putting on scene Alia doesn't
00:26:34
suspect his secret though because he has
00:26:37
a fake childhood friend covering for the
00:26:40
real one who happens to be on the
00:26:42
student council with her and also
00:26:45
happens to be his secret sort of
00:26:46
estranged sister who pretends to be his
00:26:49
childhood's friend at school because
00:26:51
look they relationships complicated
00:26:59
[Music]
00:27:03
but then masach is a complicated man a
00:27:06
beacon of genuine Charisma amid a sea of
00:27:09
wet blankets it completely makes sense
00:27:12
that the cool Beauty from Russia would
00:27:14
have a thing for him not to mention his
00:27:16
sister and that he'd have a certain sort
00:27:19
of effect on many other types of girl
00:27:26
too we have quite a few spicy items on
00:27:29
tonight's menu some quite a bit spicier
00:27:32
than this but of all those bold flavors
00:27:34
this one might just be my favorite it's
00:27:37
complex mature with many different
00:27:39
intermingling notes every character has
00:27:42
a distinctive entertaining voice and the
00:27:45
plot moves at a surprisingly brisk Pace
00:27:47
with genuinely surprising twists
00:27:50
elevating what are fundamentally the
00:27:52
lowest possible Stakes with confident
00:27:55
witty presentation if you enjoyed kaguya
00:27:58
Love is War this show hits a lot of
00:28:00
similar notes only with way more panty
00:28:03
shots which you won't hear me
00:28:04
complaining about it's also got some
00:28:06
shades of Rascal does not dream of bunny
00:28:09
girl Senpai it's just a ton of fun all
00:28:12
around I give it five solid gold
00:28:15
dumpsters full of
00:28:17
fireworks okay that's a normal amount of
00:28:20
blood I think we're ready for another
00:28:21
potential Edge Fest why does nobody
00:28:23
remember me in this world is basically
00:28:26
that most classic of Christmas movies
00:28:29
It's a Wonderful Life only this timeline
00:28:32
doesn't hinge on the protagonist's
00:28:34
existence barring any extremely obvious
00:28:37
plot twists instead there was this big
00:28:40
war 30 years ago see where every race
00:28:43
but one was ethnically cleansed from the
00:28:46
entire planet in a mass Holocaust where
00:28:50
literally all of them were shoved into
00:28:53
Mass Graves and that's the good timeline
00:28:57
in the bad one the genocide didn't work
00:29:00
out and now the humans who to be
00:29:03
clear 100% would have done it are living
00:29:07
underground in fancy sci-fi bunkers that
00:29:10
provide a reasonable if uncomfortable
00:29:12
fact simile of surface life not dead to
00:29:16
be clear I mean some of them are
00:29:19
offscreen presumably but not all of them
00:29:22
which again is canonically what these
00:29:26
people would have done to every other
00:29:29
race given the opportunity and then they
00:29:32
have a yearly anniversary celebration
00:29:35
for it but you know they look like us
00:29:39
and the other ones have like horns and
00:29:43
and fur so we're supposed to feel bad
00:29:46
for the humans that they didn't get to
00:29:48
do the genocide anymore and want the
00:29:51
protagonist to bring things back to how
00:29:54
they were look even without the moral
00:29:56
considerations I'd keep the timeline as
00:29:58
is just to make sure I never have to see
00:30:00
this animation again no childhood friend
00:30:03
Sean not the liquefy filter to be fair
00:30:07
the plot is shapen up to be a bit more
00:30:09
complex than I'm letting on the prophet
00:30:12
Sid Humanity's legendary hero from the
00:30:15
good timeline who nobody knows what he
00:30:18
looked like in the old timeline because
00:30:21
they never took his photo and somehow
00:30:23
protag has his magic sword now H I
00:30:26
wonder if that going to be a plot Point
00:30:29
later anyway Sid may have slightly
00:30:31
overstated the finality of his solution
00:30:33
Visa the other races seems like he and
00:30:36
some of their other Heroes were secretly
00:30:38
working together to stop whatever robot
00:30:41
snake lady timeline fery is happening
00:30:44
now so it may have actually been some
00:30:46
sort of 8D chess fake genocide Gambit or
00:30:50
something I don't know I have not read
00:30:52
ahead in the light novels and I'm not
00:30:54
going to but that doesn't change the
00:30:56
fact that protag
00:30:58
thinks he did it and looks up to him for
00:31:00
doing it and his entire motivation is
00:31:04
godamn bro things were so much better
00:31:06
back when we won the race war doesn't
00:31:08
even seem particularly driven to
00:31:10
uniquify filter his childhood friend
00:31:12
anymore since he's got this new Angel
00:31:15
main squeeze who somehow manages to look
00:31:18
more generic than the literal parody of
00:31:22
a generic angel waifu from 2.5d
00:31:25
seduction please set me free from these
00:31:27
chains
00:31:29
so generic I kind of want to give the
00:31:32
show the benefit of the doubt on all
00:31:34
that other stuff I mean Cas suzane does
00:31:37
come out with a new fantasy light novel
00:31:39
series on average every two years that
00:31:42
is not a lot of time to think about
00:31:44
World building it is entirely possible
00:31:47
he was just mindlessly mashing together
00:31:49
fantasy tropes and put literally zero
00:31:52
thought into the ethical implications of
00:31:54
a global race war outside that cont
00:31:57
context likely even given how the last
00:32:00
anime with his name on it turned out so
00:32:03
I'm hedging my Edge bets and giving this
00:32:05
one two trash cans full of tomato sauce
00:32:07
and safety scissors I don't want to
00:32:09
leave you hanging on all that edge I
00:32:12
promised though so let's see if we can
00:32:14
find it elsewhere like in this show with
00:32:16
a Scary Skeleton Man on the cover that's
00:32:20
got to be edgy right the strongest
00:32:23
magician in the Demon King's Army is a
00:32:25
human is about that guy from the title I
00:32:28
just read who yes I'm sorry to say is
00:32:32
CGI like 90% of the time and yes it
00:32:36
always looks at least that bad from
00:32:39
every angle and there's so many other 3D
00:32:43
models and none of them are better but
00:32:47
in Ike's defense he's got to keep that
00:32:49
horribly rendered mask on so nobody
00:32:51
figures out that he's not a demon at
00:32:54
least not until he finishes his quest to
00:32:56
build a world where everyone can get
00:32:58
along a goal he starts toward by taking
00:33:01
over a human City with his big demon
00:33:04
Army then putting the demons in the city
00:33:06
next to the people whose home they just
00:33:09
sacked and partially destroyed and
00:33:11
saying hey get along and then they do it
00:33:15
just works the strongest magician
00:33:18
sometimes threatens to become a kind of
00:33:20
genuinely interesting anime about
00:33:22
fantasy politics and Civic planning and
00:33:25
[ __ ] but then it just keeps shoving all
00:33:27
that to the background while in the
00:33:29
foreground the annoying Dy maid and the
00:33:32
horny guu succubus Chase each other
00:33:34
around the dinner table yelling he's
00:33:36
mine no he's mine back and forth while
00:33:39
the fat pig dude who only ever opens his
00:33:42
mouth to glaze up the protag is like
00:33:44
ausama your dick is so big how are you
00:33:48
so handsome and such a genius at the
00:33:52
same time like they're in the local
00:33:54
theater putting on a production of
00:33:56
Overlord and then when he actually does
00:33:58
get a chance to flexx his tactical
00:34:01
genius on screen by outwitting an
00:34:03
opponent in an evenly matched war game
00:34:06
his brilliant solution is invent guns
00:34:11
which he doesn't even do himself he just
00:34:14
has the idea that guns might be useful
00:34:18
and then someone else makes them for him
00:34:28
as you can see I was not exaggerating
00:34:30
with my Pigman impression the best thing
00:34:33
I can say about this show is it finally
00:34:35
made me get around to playing tyranny a
00:34:37
half-finished obsidian crpg the best
00:34:41
kind of obsidian crpg that actually
00:34:44
explores all the cool ideas about
00:34:46
managing a more Equitable evil empire
00:34:49
that strongest magician just sort of
00:34:52
hints at then leaves on the floor while
00:34:55
it goes off to do more anime [ __ ] I
00:34:58
give it two waste baskets full of
00:35:00
fantasy City Zoning maps with obscene
00:35:02
Doodles just all over them dang that
00:35:05
wasn't very edgy either we do have one
00:35:07
more thing that might cut that itch but
00:35:10
I'm saving the best trash for last
00:35:12
tonight so let's Explore More of our
00:35:14
romance options first with maain too
00:35:18
many losing heroins how'd that get in
00:35:21
the trash pile I mean I guess meta
00:35:23
commentary on anime romcom tropes is a
00:35:27
little bit trashy conceptually but all
00:35:29
them cinematic angles are clearly art
00:35:32
whoa whoa okay Madam this is a YouTube
00:35:37
video you cannot sir could you please
00:35:39
stop
00:35:40
Pro I thought D was supposed to be next
00:35:51
season and that's not even the most out-
00:35:53
of-pocket teacher at this school
00:35:57
[Music]
00:36:03
no like that's still not even the half
00:36:06
of it she is straight up committing
00:36:21
crimes I recommended maain on the ones
00:36:24
to watch for its remarkably fleshed out
00:36:26
characters and razor sharp dialogue and
00:36:28
I'm recommending it here because the
00:36:30
characters spouting that dialogue are
00:36:32
remarkably fleshed out trash sometimes
00:36:35
non-ch childhood friend type home recer
00:36:38
trash sometimes otaku trash
00:36:42
[Music]
00:36:58
what's real crazy is she almost
00:36:59
described an actual anime there although
00:37:02
Mishima isn't in the Osamu daai isekai
00:37:05
no longer allowed in another world and
00:37:07
it's only rated 14a for excessive elf
00:37:11
titty I'm honestly not even sure if I
00:37:13
can call that one trash since it's a
00:37:16
surprisingly literary deconstruction of
00:37:18
the isekai genre for a comedy that
00:37:20
hinges on the Japanese equivalent of
00:37:22
Kurt Cobain jokes or maybe not
00:37:24
surprisingly given the choice of pro tag
00:37:28
uh who's a famous author if you're not
00:37:30
familiar with the Japanese literary
00:37:33
canon Andor bungo stray dogs but then
00:37:35
I'm kind of in the same boat with maain
00:37:37
and My Philosophy is any animator who
00:37:40
puts that much effort into tummy shading
00:37:42
knows exactly what they're making so I'm
00:37:45
happy to award too many losing heroins
00:37:47
five golden dumpsters full of fireworks
00:37:50
and the daai Sakai does have a big
00:37:53
tentacle monster in episode one so I
00:37:55
guess that knows what it is too it only
00:37:57
gets three golden dumpsters though
00:37:59
animation could have been better
00:38:01
sometimes though you don't want a clever
00:38:03
subversion of romcom trash you just want
00:38:06
to guzzle that [ __ ] straight and
00:38:07
unfiltered and for those times we have
00:38:10
love is indivisible by twins the story
00:38:14
of these two smoking hot twins who could
00:38:17
not be more different except for one key
00:38:20
detail n's a bratty guaru oaku with few
00:38:24
friends who can match her razor sharp
00:38:26
wit roomies a popular go- getting gy
00:38:29
tomboy athlete but they're both head
00:38:32
over heels for the same boy next door
00:38:35
June and now that puberty's kicked in
00:38:37
boy howdy are they both ever ready to
00:38:41
Jun up
00:38:52
emotionally so roomy asks him out first
00:38:55
cuz you know go getting and they have a
00:38:57
really happy healthy productive
00:39:00
relationship for a solid minute there
00:39:02
but this is Anime so of course that
00:39:04
ain't going to fly halfway through
00:39:07
episode one she dumps him out of nowhere
00:39:09
pretty much the same way she asked him
00:39:11
out actually then orders him to date her
00:39:13
sister because as she later explains
00:39:15
when her friend quite justifiably asks
00:39:18
her what the girl she's popular so she
00:39:23
can eventually find another good dude
00:39:25
probably but her sister you know with
00:39:28
her personality and all if she doesn't
00:39:30
get together with Jun now she's liable
00:39:33
to die alone how thoughtful I would I
00:39:37
would just love to have a sibling who
00:39:39
thinks about me like that then she dumps
00:39:42
him again at the end of the episode only
00:39:44
this time it's from her sister's
00:39:46
perspective because this show thinks
00:39:48
it's literature and you know to be fair
00:39:51
the dialogue is pretty well written as
00:39:53
these things go even the otaku talk
00:39:56
which is rare to see for
00:40:34
these aren't just cringy nerd references
00:40:37
to Spotlight things the author is a fan
00:40:39
of they actually tell us more about who
00:40:42
these people are what they value their
00:40:44
differing tastes and opinions and the
00:40:46
points they connect on and more
00:40:48
importantly the ways they're not
00:40:50
connecting nari and Jun spend so much
00:40:53
time trading barbs and references
00:40:55
they're not really together in the
00:40:57
moment a lot of the time whereas he and
00:41:00
roomy have much more natural
00:41:03
conversations there's some genuinely
00:41:05
good character writing here just in
00:41:08
service of some of the most
00:41:09
aggravatingly inexplicable melodramatic
00:41:12
[ __ ] I've ever watched also it's not
00:41:15
always you know good otaku meta
00:41:18
commentary they do get real scream
00:41:21
sequels with some of
00:41:24
it which really makes you appreciate app
00:41:27
just how good mí is at this but you know
00:41:31
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't hooked
00:41:33
on this crap anyways I just got to know
00:41:35
how these stupid horny teenagers are
00:41:37
going to hurt each other next I give it
00:41:39
three flaming dumpsters full of jun's
00:41:42
therapy bills speaking of stupid teens
00:41:44
hurting each other though it's been a
00:41:46
while since we last served up a good
00:41:48
old-fashioned big dumb death game and
00:41:50
let me tell you they don't get much
00:41:53
bigger or dumber than tasu ketu fate of
00:41:56
the majority majority the first death
00:41:58
game anime I've ever seen that ropes the
00:42:01
entire population of Tokyo into the
00:42:05
festivities a game in which a yes or no
00:42:08
question is posed on TV every night at
00:42:10
midnight based on viewer submissions to
00:42:13
a magic mailbox that moves randomly
00:42:15
around the city every day and then
00:42:17
everyone with the majority answered dies
00:42:19
immediately unfortunately the deaths
00:42:22
themselves at least at the hands of the
00:42:23
game are a little underwhelming
00:42:28
especially compared to the genre's
00:42:31
[Applause]
00:42:35
great but tetu still has its fair share
00:42:38
of horrible animated Violence by which I
00:42:41
of course mean violence that is animated
00:42:44
just
00:42:53
horribly now simple math tells us those
00:42:56
rules will create create a hard limit of
00:42:58
25 days before there's one or less
00:43:01
people left alive in the city which also
00:43:04
quickly calls the massive player base
00:43:06
down to a more manageable and
00:43:08
traditional death game roster of five
00:43:11
naive goobers United by the power of
00:43:17
friendship plus several dozen unhinged
00:43:19
Psychopaths conveniently there are also
00:43:22
several dozen death game superpowers
00:43:24
floating around the city which come into
00:43:27
flavors wrs minor Supernatural
00:43:30
advantages that can be gained for free
00:43:32
just by opening an envelope and Prime RS
00:43:35
straight up reality warping abilities
00:43:37
that can only be attained by sacrificing
00:43:40
a body
00:43:43
part you laugh but Bros out here playing
00:43:47
5D chess I'll kick you in the
00:43:51
balls I have not seen an anime fly this
00:43:55
far off the rails this fast since King's
00:43:58
game it might even be worse we've got
00:44:01
endgame betrayals and third act plot
00:44:04
twists dropping while players are still
00:44:07
learning the rules over half the cast is
00:44:10
dead by the end of episode one but don't
00:44:13
worry they get better and the apparent
00:44:17
big bads opening Gambit in the very
00:44:21
first scene we meet him in is blowing up
00:44:24
his own allies with a car bomb
00:44:27
you know once all the episodes are out I
00:44:29
might just have to give this one a full
00:44:32
dedicated roast of its own just to do it
00:44:35
justice although if there are any other
00:44:37
anime from this or past trash menus that
00:44:40
you'd like to see get that same
00:44:41
treatment let me know down below if
00:44:43
you're curious to watch it now though
00:44:45
I'm giving tasu ketu the same rating I
00:44:47
gave to the legendary kamikatsu a
00:44:50
freight train full of fireworks crashing
00:44:53
into a septic tank I feel a little bad
00:44:55
leaving that one on stay tuned for
00:44:57
future roasting but at least I know I'm
00:44:59
not leaving you folks hungry I mean I
00:45:02
promise the hottest load of trash this
00:45:04
restaurant has ever served and I think
00:45:06
I'm more than delivered if you agree
00:45:09
there's like a button down there that
00:45:11
you can click to let me know under the
00:45:13
table in this restaurant and when you're
00:45:16
ready to leave our valet will be around
00:45:18
with a burlap sack to get you back where
00:45:20
you came from I'm Jeff th I've been your
00:45:23
waiter this evening and don't worry
00:45:25
about the bill we've already r to you
