[0:21] I I I'm trying to gather my thoughts. I
[0:23] I'm I'm trying to just
[0:28] They are actually unironically like we
[0:31] we got we just they are making an anime
[0:35] about
[0:37] drugs like just just that they're
[0:40] they're making
[0:42] literally the best way to summarize this
[0:45] is Moa blob lolly girls
[0:49] do fentanyl. That that's that's
[0:51] literally
[0:53] that is that that's that's literally
[0:55] what this is.
[0:58] Okay. Okay. We we we have finally
[1:01] reached the point where we're getting an
[1:05] anime about drugs and it's cutesy moa
[1:11] blob characters at that like
[1:15] bro.
[1:17] Oh,
[1:19] I I what what is the comment?
[1:25] Hey, I saw this,
[1:28] bro. It's
[1:34] what? Like, dude, this is the craziest
[1:38] anime announcement I think I have seen
[1:40] in a very long time. Like I think this
[1:44] is top three craziest anime
[1:46] announcements because unironically I I
[1:50] might get some heat for this take, but
[1:52] unironically this kind of looks good.
[1:55] Like it looks like something I will
[1:58] probably enjoy. So we we need to just we
[2:01] need to just address the elephant in the
[2:02] room here. Okay. So first off, this is
[2:04] being done by Studio Mappa. Yes, the
[2:07] Studio Mappa. the same studio that has
[2:10] made JJK, Jiu-Jitsu Kaisen, Attack on
[2:13] Titan's Final Season. They've done, you
[2:15] know, Hell's Paradise. They've done
[2:17] Chainsaw Man, the Chainsaw Man movie.
[2:20] You you get the point. They are um quite
[2:22] the animation studio. Regardless of your
[2:24] personal feelings about, let's say, the
[2:26] anime they do, or um your personal
[2:28] feelings about how they treat their
[2:30] employees, the point of the matter is is
[2:31] that Studio Mappa does make good anime.
[2:33] They do. Like, you you can't you can't
[2:35] deny that. They they make highquality
[2:37] projects that legitimately are the talk
[2:40] of the 2020s. Like everything that they
[2:42] pretty much have made for the 2020s has
[2:44] been a successful mass hit in from what
[2:47] I have seen. And so when I take a hard
[2:49] look at this just this anime adaptation,
[2:52] this feels like a weird middle ground
[2:55] between like mainstream anime fans and
[2:58] then like moa blob cutesy enjoyers of
[3:02] anime. And like let me let me explain
[3:04] how I arrived at this conclusion. So
[3:06] obviously this the the design of these
[3:08] characters just straight up they're moa
[3:10] blob. They are like the traditional
[3:12] cutesy moa blob like characters that you
[3:14] know you can see in a lot of comedy
[3:16] slice of life shows. And the fact that
[3:19] you have studio Mappa that is very well
[3:21] known for making hyperrealistic or
[3:23] trying to make realistic looking anime
[3:25] that's just you know very mature
[3:27] looking. I mean let's let's like let's
[3:28] look at Chainsaw Man or you know let's
[3:30] look at JJ K. Seeing them go into a Moa
[3:33] Blob adaptation is honestly it's a
[3:36] whiplash. Now, I'm not saying they
[3:37] haven't done stuff like this before.
[3:38] They've done some different projects in
[3:40] the past, but this one really just takes
[3:42] the cake because it's like it has a
[3:44] blend of the art style that a lot of
[3:46] traditional anime fans enjoy, but it
[3:49] also clearly has action and quite a an
[3:52] interesting topic. A very interesting
[3:54] topic that um I feel like uh is it's a
[3:58] dark topic actually. I I I feel like
[4:00] looking at this, this is probably going
[4:02] to be a very dark anime. Like the front
[4:05] appearance of this seems to be kind of
[4:07] just very funny or comedic and all that.
[4:10] Don't take it too seriously. And I could
[4:11] be wrong, maybe you shouldn't, but I
[4:13] feel like this is going to be like a
[4:16] kind of a very dark title kind of
[4:18] addressing just like the damage that
[4:20] stuff like fentanyl and stuff like that
[4:22] can do to people. And I mean, I'm all
[4:23] for that. I think there's nothing
[4:25] necessarily wrong with that, but it's
[4:26] just it's quite a quite a different
[4:28] anime. like it's not something I
[4:30] expected Studio Mappa to tackle, but
[4:33] here we are. Um, I will say though that
[4:37] first impressions of this, I'm not
[4:40] against it. I like I said, I know
[4:41] there's going to be a lot of people that
[4:43] are going to be like, "Oh no, what is
[4:45] this?" Like, "This just looks like like
[4:46] there's going to be propaganda and
[4:48] stuff." And maybe there might be, but
[4:49] the point is is that I don't really hate
[4:51] it. There's not anything about this so
[4:53] far I've seen that makes me want to
[4:55] outright hate it. I think it looks
[4:56] cutesy. I think it's probably going to
[4:58] be it's going to tell a very dark story.
[5:00] Probably going to have some funny
[5:01] moments as well. It's going to have some
[5:02] crazy animation. I mean, this sequence
[5:04] alone is just insane, by the way. Holy
[5:07] crap, that tongue detail, by the way.
[5:09] But, um, like it's Yeah, I I I feel like
[5:12] this is this is going to be interesting.
[5:13] I I'm excited, honestly, to see when
[5:15] this comes out because, uh, we don't
[5:17] necessarily know exactly when this is
[5:21] coming out. Like, it's a working title
[5:23] apparently, like Gimoto Psycho. So, we
[5:25] we don't know if it's going to air this
[5:28] year or next year. I'm going to assume
[5:30] by how these announcements work, we
[5:31] might get this maybe either at the end
[5:33] of this year or the beginning of next
[5:34] year. I could be wrong. This is Netflix,
[5:37] by the way, that announced it. So, it's
[5:39] it's entirely up to how Netflix wants to
[5:40] release schedule stuff. But yeah, I I
[5:42] kind of wanted to just take a few
[5:43] moments to talk about this because it's
[5:45] like, yeah, that title I'm not lying.
[5:47] That's a real title that it's it's not
[5:48] even clickbait. I mean, look what you
[5:50] see on screen. It's it's absolutely
[5:52] wild. So, I I'm interested to see. I
[5:55] feel like Mappa could tell a very mature
[5:56] story while also having some uplifting
[5:59] and comedic moments. So, let's let's
[6:00] just see how this goes. I will
[6:02] definitely be watching this with great
[6:04] interest in seeing, you know, when I I I
[6:06] don't know if we got a staff reveal or
[6:08] not yet. So, hopefully like when more
[6:10] information comes out about this, you
[6:12] know, or I might make a follow-up video
[6:13] tomorrow if I need to. If there's more
[6:14] information that comes out, I I will
[6:16] discuss it. But, uh, thank you so much
[6:17] for watching. May all of you have a
[6:19] fantastic day or night wherever you
[6:20] live. Be safe, stay healthy. She be out.
