[0:00] hey it's seto kaiba and you're watching
[0:02] anime egotists i don't know why these
[0:05] guys don't know how to duel unless they
[0:07] learn from yugi who cheats or maybe joey
[0:11] who's a dog oh why don't you have some
[0:13] more jelly donuts like brock and maybe
[0:16] you'll get better
[0:19] not
[0:20] oh and
[0:21] i play my blue eyes white dragon and
[0:23] kick your butts
[0:25] [Laughter]
[0:27] and welcome back to the anime egotist
[0:29] where zen osama would definitely eat get
[0:32] rid of us
[0:34] yeah and there would no there wouldn't
[0:36] be a chance for us to come back we'd
[0:37] just be gone yep gone forever
[0:40] but anyways you got me alex and i
[0:43] definitely have been skipping some
[0:46] school days at duel meister academy
[0:49] professor stein has been very upset the
[0:51] past few days and seoul has been too but
[0:54] not as much
[0:56] [Music]
[0:58] and i'm richard
[0:59] that's correct and we've talked before
[1:02] about the best and worst anime cliches
[1:05] but
[1:06] now it's time for the reverse because
[1:08] the last time we talked about another
[1:09] worst anime cliches and this time we're
[1:12] doing the best of which
[1:14] i hope is a good idea but people seem to
[1:16] like the worst of stuff more on these on
[1:18] this channel and i respect that
[1:21] they like to watch us suffer
[1:24] i don't blame them but anyways these are
[1:26] the cliches that we didn't get to talk
[1:28] about last time the cliches that upon
[1:31] further inspection we actually
[1:32] thoroughly enjoy just the cliches that
[1:35] we still like all this time either
[1:39] exactly i mean
[1:41] i know a few of mine come from the early
[1:43] 90s so
[1:44] that's kind of where i have the uh
[1:46] mindset of
[1:48] like this is where this started and all
[1:50] that so i'm kind of interested to see
[1:51] what you think of someone yep and but
[1:54] before we begin we got two new
[1:56] subscribers this time
[1:57] nintendozilla 98 and dorian y
[2:01] thank you guys for subscribing and thank
[2:02] you for the love
[2:04] yes thank you so much we really do
[2:06] appreciate all the support that's right
[2:08] and before we begin i have a bone to
[2:09] pick with you
[2:10] [Music]
[2:11] okay yeah um i seem to recall in the
[2:15] second worst anime cliches video you
[2:18] said you didn't like the fluctuating
[2:20] times and fights meanwhile on the last
[2:23] list of the best anime cliches she said
[2:25] oh the fluctuating times i just find it
[2:27] funny what's up with that what what are
[2:29] you what are you doing why are you
[2:30] confusing our long time fans
[2:33] no i i really view it looking back again
[2:35] i missed that i even put that on my best
[2:38] list but it is one of those things that
[2:40] i love and hate
[2:42] sometimes it makes sense but then other
[2:44] times like i specifically think of the
[2:46] tournament of power uh arc and dragon
[2:49] ball there's no way they had all these
[2:51] conversations that i mean lasted three
[2:53] episodes where they're just talking
[2:55] so
[2:56] i mean they literally have like a 47
[2:58] minute conversation between like three
[3:00] of the characters
[3:01] uh in like three up
[3:03] over the span of three episodes and then
[3:05] they
[3:06] uh fall out and it's like okay so they
[3:08] did that what
[3:09] 10 seconds
[3:12] i'm watching you
[3:14] no but in all honesty i actually
[3:16] i like and hate it it's
[3:20] it's overdone
[3:22] but still enjoyable so i'd love to hate
[3:24] it
[3:25] yeah i can live with that but i guess
[3:27] i'll start us off this time if that's
[3:29] okay okay go right ahead all right i'm
[3:32] going to say this the surrogate parent
[3:34] cliche
[3:36] just the p or the surrogate family
[3:38] brother sister anybody look
[3:40] life is hard life is hard and there are
[3:42] a lot sure or i'm not necessarily huge
[3:45] on the idea that every single person
[3:47] comes from a broken home an anime or
[3:48] something like that
[3:50] but it's nice to know that they have
[3:51] somebody else they can go to like naruto
[3:53] has jariah and aruka
[3:55] in some sense
[3:57] it's just a whole variety of characters
[3:59] that have other figures in their life
[4:01] that they look up to it's it's it's a
[4:03] nice feeling
[4:04] not a whole lot of jokes to be added in
[4:06] this one i just i just appreciate the
[4:07] wholesomeness of it that everybody has
[4:09] somebody they can talk to
[4:12] yeah and it shows that these a lot of
[4:15] times these relationships didn't start
[4:17] out as exactly
[4:20] a child parent-esque relationship i
[4:23] always think of uh
[4:24] aruka having to overcome his feelings of
[4:27] hate towards naruto to
[4:30] be that figure for naruto so
[4:32] i i can agree to that i do like
[4:35] the
[4:35] if there's a parent or parents missing
[4:38] that we do see other people step up a
[4:40] lot of times yeah that's and i i i
[4:42] especially like it in persona 5 because
[4:45] it really starts off like hey like i'm
[4:47] just taking care of this kid as a fake
[4:49] favorite basically and then it goes
[4:51] develops all the way into i'm taking
[4:53] care of you because i see you as family
[4:56] don't date my daughter okay
[4:58] you're not gonna do that right no
[5:00] definitely haven't
[5:02] done it yet dad what what
[5:04] nothing the next play through
[5:06] yeah yeah yeah
[5:08] basically i'm gonna make a great
[5:10] son-in-law someday in an anime sense in
[5:12] real life may it that probably probably
[5:14] won't happen but anyways surrogate
[5:16] parents
[5:17] i talked about it before or for pokemon
[5:20] then we're not going to get into that
[5:21] right now but surrogate parent
[5:23] or brother sister whatever
[5:26] yeah it's just the
[5:27] person who becomes family yes basically
[5:30] i can understand i'll agree um
[5:34] let's see
[5:36] so this one's
[5:39] a little weird uh
[5:41] it's the
[5:43] brief yell
[5:45] when a friend or ally dies in an anime
[5:49] i love how we started off with the
[5:50] wholesome one you're just like nope i
[5:52] can't last
[5:53] exactly
[5:56] it's just i i mean it's a great way of
[5:58] showing the emotion of
[6:00] losing someone in battle or uh to
[6:03] something and the person's just having
[6:05] to yell about it i always picture though
[6:08] like the um i'm a big star trek fan so i
[6:10] like uh and i
[6:12] um
[6:14] when i think of the klingons when they
[6:16] uh die they act they have something
[6:18] actually similar where they all just
[6:19] kind of yell to the skies
[6:22] theirs is more of a warning to the gods
[6:23] that they're sending a klingon to kill
[6:25] them but come on
[6:29] yeah but in all honesty i do really
[6:31] enjoy this it's a in my opinion it's a
[6:34] great way of showing the emotion of
[6:36] and the pain that the character is going
[6:37] through
[6:38] and
[6:39] uh
[6:41] i mean and it happens a good bit in
[6:43] anime when one of the characters dies
[6:47] i mean i'm not necessarily okay with the
[6:48] characters we know and love dying for it
[6:50] to happen but in all seriousness i do
[6:53] agree like if there is a good way of
[6:54] showing like turmoil and anguish when it
[6:57] happens
[6:58] admittedly i guess part of the thing for
[7:00] me is there are times it happens for me
[7:02] but it's not like oh my god i feel so
[7:04] bad so it's more for me it's like oh
[7:06] really
[7:08] this is what we're wasting our time with
[7:09] because i feel like i watch a lot more
[7:10] bad anime than you do because sometimes
[7:13] bad anime can be hilarious
[7:16] that's
[7:17] seems to be true a good bit um
[7:20] now but and
[7:22] the thing is it's
[7:24] when it's done well this grifle it's
[7:27] one scene they they yell
[7:30] and
[7:32] we usually will see like other in like
[7:34] the next episode or in the next few
[7:37] episodes we'll see
[7:38] the other stages of grief
[7:41] throughout this this is the
[7:43] this just happened stage in the griefing
[7:46] process they lose everything they so
[7:49] uh that's just kind of why i like it
[7:52] yeah i can i can i can definitely vibe
[7:54] with that
[7:56] all right your next one all right my
[7:58] next one this is gonna be a little bit
[8:00] of a weird one and knowing me i'm not
[8:02] really sure if you would expect this
[8:04] school festivals
[8:07] okay
[8:08] i guess part of the thing for me is like
[8:10] it always seems like despite the fact
[8:12] that like it's gonna sound a little
[8:13] cheesy but kind of it's nice to see all
[8:15] these characters working together and
[8:17] all these different interactions and
[8:18] setups especially since over here in
[8:21] america we don't really get festivals to
[8:23] that same level of extent and we don't
[8:25] really get scoop because it'll show
[8:27] characters oh well let's take time after
[8:29] school to set it up and then during
[8:31] school all this other sorts of stuff is
[8:33] happening
[8:34] it works in the sense of like persona 5
[8:36] when it was like actually hey we can't
[8:38] have too much fun in this time because
[8:40] there's there's some crap going on in
[8:42] the real world but other instances in
[8:44] like psychic a or other or daily lives
[8:47] high school boy is rich it's just people
[8:50] goofing off and just you get to
[8:51] experience all different sorts of stuff
[8:53] it honestly makes me wish i kind of got
[8:55] to experience stuff like that it just
[8:57] care
[8:58] character
[9:00] school festivals just seem like they're
[9:01] fun for the most part
[9:03] with the exception of anybody who has to
[9:05] clean that stuff up because that just
[9:06] does not seem fun
[9:08] yeah i
[9:10] i tend to agree these are
[9:12] that fun
[9:13] one-off
[9:14] they're definitely better than like the
[9:15] beach episodes
[9:17] uh that always try to be either
[9:19] perverted or
[9:21] have everybody think someone's going to
[9:23] be perverted and they're not
[9:24] this
[9:25] almost everybody all the characters seem
[9:27] to have fun
[9:30] a lot of times characters that even may
[9:31] not always get along seem to get along
[9:33] in these episodes so
[9:36] yeah i like these episodes as well a lot
[9:38] of times when i see them
[9:40] yeah i'm getting a little too wholesome
[9:42] on this list some of those things i'm
[9:43] gonna have to fix that in a bit
[9:47] this one actually ties well into one of
[9:48] mine so oh all right go for it
[9:52] and that is
[9:53] school in general in anime is either
[9:55] very fun or wacky
[9:58] it seems
[9:58] [Laughter]
[10:02] whether it's
[10:04] alternate universes where schools
[10:06] different things i'm thinking of like
[10:08] welcome to demon school irma [ __ ] where
[10:10] they've got a festival episode but it's
[10:13] literally a school for uh demons
[10:16] and they have and humans pretty much
[10:18] trying to survive going to the school
[10:21] they go through all i mean all the
[10:23] school adventures but
[10:25] you see the stuff like um
[10:28] i just i try to think of all the
[10:30] different animes i mean bl's above the
[10:32] school's just nothing fooled with
[10:33] nothing but uh delinquents yeah
[10:36] it's a war zone pretty much yeah i'm not
[10:39] even sure if there are actual grades or
[10:40] tests or anything like that it's just if
[10:42] you survive then if you survive the next
[10:44] three years you graduate
[10:47] yeah and i know
[10:50] school there is a lot different than how
[10:52] we do it here and again
[10:54] we don't do the festivals
[10:56] our big focus a lot of times is
[10:58] whatever your after school activity is
[11:01] again they do clubs but
[11:03] none of the clubs really come together
[11:04] for activities really usually and
[11:06] yeah
[11:07] yeah and that's
[11:08] plus l plus if you got a letter from
[11:11] whatever school is in my heroes universe
[11:13] you would you would jump on that in an
[11:15] instant you know that wouldn't you
[11:17] yeah i mean that's another one i mean uh
[11:20] ua high school from my hero
[11:24] um
[11:25] and it doesn't even have to be
[11:27] that i mean even when they've shown kind
[11:28] of regular schools
[11:32] the students always seem to have
[11:34] a lot more fun now
[11:35] i'm assuming that's
[11:37] just the way the culture the cultural
[11:39] difference between the us and japan it
[11:41] could very well be that
[11:43] um because i think i mean bleach focused
[11:46] a lot of episodes around being at school
[11:49] and having to
[11:50] uh
[11:51] hide
[11:52] uh
[11:53] to be able to go fight the bad guy of
[11:55] the day for in some of the episodes and
[11:57] some of the minor arcs
[11:59] so
[11:59] it's yeah
[12:01] they can all kind of be fun and wacky
[12:03] and stuff and again i
[12:05] i don't remember ever being that fun
[12:07] wacky in high school but i could be
[12:09] wrong it wasn't like that in college
[12:11] either
[12:12] then again i didn't go to a school that
[12:14] taught you how to play card games so
[12:17] maybe i was just maybe my mom sent me to
[12:18] the wrong school but yeah i agree school
[12:21] i do like it the thing is that kind of
[12:23] makes me wonder or that kind of makes me
[12:25] feel like i actually do enjoy more
[12:27] school-based anime just because it does
[12:29] seem more interesting then again we're
[12:31] not the ones taking their tests so i'm
[12:33] sure some of them would be like uh no
[12:36] yeah and again and it's a very common
[12:39] place
[12:40] now again as i said i haven't seen all
[12:43] the school anime so i'm sure there's one
[12:44] where they're
[12:45] where it could be a bit more boring
[12:47] situations at the school or more
[12:49] standard school day seems like it's it's
[12:51] not the school you want to go to
[12:53] okay well there's a couple of reasons
[12:55] for that but yeah
[12:58] anyway so i i can go sign on to that
[13:01] so my next one
[13:03] go right ahead
[13:06] okay see this this one i kind of had to
[13:09] combine these two because they're more
[13:10] or less the same thing
[13:12] hey and i did kind of talk about this
[13:14] last time in another one of our our
[13:17] worstly shapes but i'm gonna say the
[13:18] bickering friends
[13:20] but only if it's done right because one
[13:23] of the problems i have with like the
[13:24] sooner like i've said before with the
[13:25] tsundere and the bland male protagonist
[13:27] is it all the tsundere feels justified
[13:30] with everything she does which is not
[13:32] true and it always comes off as toxic
[13:34] and kind of hateful but when the two
[13:37] friends are like always bickering with
[13:39] each other like i think like for example
[13:41] like in yu-gi-oh i kind of think of in a
[13:44] sense you could say joey and tristan or
[13:46] even that sometimes joey and mai or
[13:49] solely you could say soul and maca
[13:51] because they're basically the old
[13:53] married couple of their group group but
[13:55] like just friends who like know that
[13:57] their friends deep down but are able to
[13:59] kind of go back and forth with each
[14:01] other as long as it never goes too far
[14:04] in one direction of one person being
[14:06] like that i can live with it
[14:09] i like to agree to that um
[14:12] i i do like the part about this where
[14:14] they're like oh you like each other or
[14:17] are friends or something and they're
[14:18] like no i don't like that person at all
[14:21] i've had some i have so many friendships
[14:22] like that it's not even it's it's not
[14:25] that part that part that part i don't
[14:27] like as much but that's just for
[14:28] personal reasons
[14:31] oh
[14:32] but yeah i'll i i can completely co-sign
[14:34] on to this about
[14:36] the bickering friends it's
[14:39] a dynamic that
[14:40] actually exists
[14:42] but you know that when actual [ __ ] hits
[14:45] the fan they're going to come together
[14:46] and be friends yeah don't get me wrong
[14:48] though there would be times when if like
[14:50] you said if you and i were in the soul
[14:52] leader world and we were all just chill
[14:53] we were all just trying to get studying
[14:55] done and we kept getting distracted i'm
[14:56] like okay seoul monica when you two are
[14:58] done bickering like an old married
[14:59] couple can you guys like help us out
[15:01] please
[15:02] and the one i kind of want to tie back
[15:04] to the delinquent friend like just
[15:07] not necessarily the not necessarily
[15:09] always breaking rules or causing crimes
[15:12] or stuff like that but just the best
[15:13] friend the best friend character who's
[15:15] not all that bright who kind of gets
[15:17] into fights with one of the girls but
[15:19] like i said never like overtly like
[15:22] think like
[15:23] like i said ryuji from persona uh magna
[15:26] from black clover
[15:28] or i guess pretty much anybody from
[15:30] beelzebub because they're all
[15:31] delinquents it's just the friend that
[15:34] has a big mouth but at the same time
[15:36] will do anything to protect their
[15:37] friends and this is the most vocal about
[15:39] it
[15:40] okay yeah i can
[15:43] it's an interesting dynamic
[15:47] but the link with friend is kind of a
[15:49] weird scene because they
[15:51] when it's an actual main character they
[15:53] hardly ever do delinquent like things on
[15:56] screen it's just they dress a certain
[15:58] way and then they're called a delinquent
[16:01] and then they're like no i'm not and
[16:02] then magna will be like no i'm not
[16:03] delinquent i'm like dude look at your
[16:05] face
[16:06] like i love you magna but like dude look
[16:08] at your face
[16:10] so
[16:11] yeah
[16:11] it's like all the side characters the
[16:13] bullies that when they're actually
[16:15] delinquents then you see them actually
[16:18] do stuff yeah
[16:20] heck i actually have an example of delay
[16:23] because we talked that we've all talked
[16:24] about we don't like the perverted cliche
[16:26] because it just feels kind of wrong but
[16:28] in daily lives of high school boys they
[16:30] actually find a way a hilarious way of
[16:32] doing it because the delinquents become
[16:34] best friends with one of the girls from
[16:36] their sister academy and they end up
[16:38] looking up and they end up looking up
[16:40] her skirt late into the series and as
[16:42] she's leaving one of them looks it looks
[16:44] he's just like what we did can't be
[16:46] undone i feel so bad and then they're
[16:48] like yeah i tried to tell you and then
[16:50] at the bottom of the screen it says it's
[16:52] the boy felt so bad and guilty about he
[16:55] missed school for three days i'm like
[16:56] that's what i want to see i want to see
[16:58] more people who just feel inherently
[17:00] guilty about being perverted but like i
[17:02] said delinquent best friends and
[17:03] bickering best friends just the friends
[17:05] who you know will always be there for
[17:07] you and who are vocal about it even if
[17:10] they're a pain in the ass at times
[17:12] yeah i can understand that and i i tend
[17:15] to agree usually this kind of standard
[17:17] characters
[17:19] when they're not
[17:21] annoying they're done well if they're
[17:23] annoying then it gets
[17:25] like it's not good i'll say well that's
[17:27] it well that's everything i've never
[17:28] thought this is annoying but i like
[17:30] anyways what's your next one
[17:32] all right um
[17:34] so this one is
[17:36] let's see which one do i get
[17:38] um
[17:42] pulling out of a random item it's
[17:45] usually done for slapstick
[17:47] i was about i was about to say please be
[17:49] more specific with what you're talking
[17:50] about because i heard pulling out in my
[17:52] mind went completely elsewhere
[17:54] well no that's on our hentai channel
[17:56] jesus christ
[17:58] hey if we get enough subscribers we
[18:00] might have to anyways contain you please
[18:03] but this is the stereotypical the giant
[18:05] hammer the frying pan
[18:08] uh
[18:09] that's done a lot in anime i
[18:11] i picture i i think chichi does the
[18:13] frying pan on occasion usually when
[18:15] she's kicking goku out to go work in the
[18:16] fields
[18:18] uh usopp uses the giant hammer with
[18:20] actually this inflatable balloon in the
[18:22] earlier part of the series
[18:24] uh to scare one of the characters it
[18:27] it's always played for laughs and it's
[18:28] always someone who's not necessarily as
[18:31] strong as the main characters but
[18:34] they're
[18:35] like everybody gets afraid when this
[18:37] item gets pulled out yeah i'd also like
[18:40] how in the rockley show 1010 would
[18:42] always pull out that fan to smack lee
[18:44] whenever he was doing something stupid
[18:46] when in real life well in the actual
[18:47] show we'd be thinking you know if she
[18:49] was strong with that fan in that show
[18:52] that she would be real in the actual
[18:53] show she wouldn't get more screen time
[18:56] but it would it would still be helpful
[18:57] but i do agree i do agree gentama in
[19:00] particular does a really good job uh
[19:02] they even find a way to do a switcheroo
[19:04] with it but i'll get into that with one
[19:06] of my next points but yeah i i can i can
[19:08] i can vibe with that especially
[19:10] especially with that time in pokemon
[19:12] where jesse just pulled out a frying pan
[19:14] i know where to cook something but where
[19:16] where did you get that you don't have
[19:17] bet never mind that
[19:19] some answers you just don't some
[19:20] questions you don't want to know the
[19:21] answer to
[19:23] yeah and again it's always played for
[19:24] laughs and it's usually
[19:27] a funny moment
[19:29] yeah but anyways my next one this is the
[19:31] last one before honorable mentions right
[19:34] yep
[19:35] all right
[19:36] just the nice wholesome characters look
[19:39] look this is com
[19:40] look the world is a nihilistic awful
[19:43] place that that probably will be better
[19:45] off once we're all off of it that being
[19:47] said though it's nice to see people who
[19:49] just try to do their best look on the
[19:51] positive side i have things like
[19:54] gordon gordon from black clothe over
[19:58] her own era i mean best girl i mean yeah
[20:01] best girl from nisa coe just characters
[20:03] who try and look on the bright side of
[20:05] things who really wouldn't do anything
[20:07] to hurt a fly but do care about their
[20:10] friends and some of them can be shy at
[20:12] times and that can be annoying at some
[20:14] points but it's just nice to see that
[20:16] there are people out there who have some
[20:18] joy in the world because lord knows a
[20:20] lot of us don't have it
[20:23] yeah it
[20:26] it helps in anime i think when
[20:30] especially when it's darker moments and
[20:32] it's
[20:33] uh someone trying to
[20:37] put it they're
[20:39] they they're still trying to stay
[20:41] positive even in that dark moment it
[20:44] it it can be a really good message for a
[20:46] lot of people need to hear
[20:48] yeah my favorite probably being in chief
[20:51] from chile's just well to be fair she's
[20:53] also learning more about the world so
[20:55] she doesn't necessarily know how
[20:57] nihilistic and and depressing it could
[21:00] be at times but at the same time it's
[21:01] just a nice change of pace and some
[21:04] people might be saying oh well aren't
[21:05] these people it's not really all that
[21:07] realistic it sound like trust me i know
[21:09] some wholesome people and admittedly i
[21:11] do bicker with them at times but i do
[21:13] appreciate their existence just like i
[21:15] do in anime
[21:18] yeah so
[21:19] i'll agree to all that so my last one
[21:21] and then honorable mentions let's do it
[21:25] i'm gonna kind of combine these two
[21:26] because they're both involve how
[21:28] characters look at a moment so
[21:32] the first one is first part of it is the
[21:35] big colorful hair of the main cast
[21:40] i think we've even mentioned this before
[21:43] but it
[21:44] one of my favorite things is to see the
[21:46] crowd and then it's like yes the main
[21:49] character one they're actually moving
[21:51] and two they actually they've got hair
[21:53] that's six times the size of everybody
[21:55] else's and has usually
[21:57] a bright primary color yeah yu-gi-oh
[22:01] i feel like yu-gi-oh started the at for
[22:03] the most part but then they're just like
[22:05] you know what let's just go crazy with
[22:06] it for everybody else
[22:09] yeah it's so funny when you see those
[22:10] crowd scenes and the crowds either
[22:15] and then and then the main cast is all
[22:17] talking around them and they don't move
[22:18] from that position i swear i i've talked
[22:21] about that before and it still creeps me
[22:24] out to this day because i just think to
[22:26] myself oh they're they're all listening
[22:27] to our conversations like they have to
[22:29] be they have to be listening to us
[22:33] that is probably very true but
[22:35] uh
[22:36] again back to the big color for hair
[22:38] it's
[22:40] it makes the characters really pop and
[22:43] i think one of my fav one of my favorite
[22:45] moments and i don't remember what anime
[22:46] it's from
[22:48] it's
[22:50] uh the main character has like the most
[22:52] plain hair so that it's played the exact
[22:54] opposite like everybody else has big
[22:56] spiky colorful hair and they're like
[22:59] they're like panning across and they
[23:01] show like one student they're like
[23:03] and this is me and they cut to the
[23:05] i don't remember what it's called i've
[23:07] only seen like a one or two episodes of
[23:08] it
[23:09] it's like
[23:10] that is true and it makes me it i wanted
[23:13] to watch more and i think i for i think
[23:15] i stopped watching it and just never got
[23:18] back to it yeah to be they kind of play
[23:20] with that in psyche k because when it's
[23:22] showing the normal guy it's like oh i
[23:23] have to congratulate sato for all of his
[23:25] normal stat hats in gym class first of
[23:27] all why do you have those stats why are
[23:29] you taking them now um and it's like oh
[23:31] wait wait wait the camera missed oh oh
[23:33] there he is sorry he's so blunt his hair
[23:36] he and his hair are so bland that the
[23:37] camera didn't notice him at first
[23:42] and then the other one i wanted to talk
[23:43] about uh that kind of
[23:47] like a moment of a visual is the
[23:50] glow means power in anime
[23:54] when characters have this glow
[23:57] it's either they've powered up they're
[23:59] having some sort of emotional
[24:02] control issue where they can't control
[24:04] their power
[24:05] something's going on and it means that
[24:07] they've they're powering up past what
[24:09] they normally are yeah or or it's in gag
[24:12] anime that just means they're like super
[24:14] happy
[24:16] that too yeah it's
[24:19] but it always means that something is
[24:21] happening and it's
[24:23] hey look at this person they're glowing
[24:25] with power
[24:26] yeah i can understand that
[24:28] now it's not the one of the ones i think
[24:30] about all that often but i definitely
[24:32] don't mind it i i combined with it
[24:35] but i mean it happens in like every
[24:36] anime now like yeah i think pokemon's
[24:39] done it
[24:40] all the different
[24:41] uh shonen animes do it and then most
[24:44] comedy or slice of life enemies do it
[24:46] when they have the person who's obsessed
[24:48] with uh manga and stuff they're like i'm
[24:51] gonna power up and then they show a glow
[24:53] and then they don't usually don't end up
[24:55] actually any stronger yeah yeah that
[24:57] happens i mean i feel like saint sam
[25:00] might have been like the first case
[25:01] because that re because when they power
[25:03] up up they re like they actually shows
[25:06] like an aura around them like a glowing
[25:07] and that eventually leads to some power
[25:09] ups down line
[25:10] i should talk about that
[25:11] more on this channel
[25:13] yeah i've i need to go back and watch
[25:15] them and find where i can watch the
[25:17] original series i've tried watching the
[25:19] new one of st
[25:21] apparently it's still on netflix so
[25:23] or crunchyroll but either way honorable
[25:26] mentions
[25:27] exactly i actually ended up thinking of
[25:29] another one so i'm on thr so i have
[25:31] three honorable mentions
[25:33] oh well i took mine down to sevens
[25:36] combining those two so all right so i
[25:38] guess i'll just
[25:40] i'll just go with mine first fantasies
[25:42] or skits
[25:46] okay
[25:47] like just be i just appreciate when
[25:48] characters have active imaginations and
[25:51] they'll just start and their
[25:52] imaginations will just start coming up
[25:54] with the most random stuff up that does
[25:56] pertain to what's happening but but
[25:58] they're just completely exaggerated and
[25:59] people will be like uh no that's that's
[26:02] not what it is particularly one of our
[26:04] favorite ones from pokemon the boss
[26:06] fantasy is where team rocket
[26:09] it's like oh well let's get this pokemon
[26:10] back to the boss and jesse and jim be
[26:12] like why what's he gonna do with it and
[26:14] then rather than showing oh he'll use
[26:16] his powerful pokemon to fortify his
[26:17] forces or everything he's like oh this
[26:19] pokemon can give him a massage or this
[26:21] pokemon can sing him to sleep or just
[26:23] something something stupid like that but
[26:26] my favorite ones of those were probably
[26:27] the ones where things would go poorly
[26:29] and giavanni would always be like meowth
[26:31] and friends will pay for this and
[26:32] they're all just like yeah let's not do
[26:34] that let's keep it for ourselves or
[26:36] something but just but just skits
[26:39] fantasies a bunch of different it shows
[26:42] off the imagination of the characters
[26:44] and some of the more goofy stuff
[26:47] yeah i
[26:48] they're fun little excursions especially
[26:51] when they're
[26:52] a lot of times i've noticed they're also
[26:54] done
[26:55] like they lower the quality of the
[26:57] animation by a lot for the fantasies or
[26:59] change it to
[27:01] like
[27:02] drawings that are like
[27:03] either a really bad drawer or kid drew
[27:06] it and it's
[27:07] it could be kind of cutesy and look
[27:09] really funny so it's
[27:11] i i tend to agree they're a fun little
[27:14] escape yeah heck sometimes they even do
[27:16] fan mail for that stuff like like in
[27:18] gentama they have a see they have fancy
[27:20] work gentoki is like a teacher and this
[27:23] and all the other characters are in
[27:24] school or stuff like that
[27:26] and one of the family questions was
[27:27] what's gintama about i don't get it edit
[27:30] and then the author himself said yeah i
[27:31] don't get it either i don't understand
[27:34] but it's just it's just a fun
[27:36] distraction it never feels like too much
[27:39] it especially helps with the two nibio
[27:41] characters with but i've talked about
[27:42] them before so i'm not going to get too
[27:44] much into that
[27:46] all right see you next time i'll mention
[27:48] all right
[27:49] this is this one this one's gonna be a
[27:51] little bit of weird one like i
[27:53] but character songs like just
[27:55] music that pops up for certain
[27:57] characters like the delinquent character
[27:59] shows up they'll have a certain track
[28:01] from for background music the whole sum
[28:03] character just that sort of thing
[28:06] it honestly it it's one of those things
[28:08] where it really upsets me that when i
[28:10] hear this like they don't have like cds
[28:12] or stuff because i would be listening to
[28:13] this all the time but
[28:15] it's it's a nice way of making the
[28:17] characters feel a little more special
[28:22] yeah i i've noticed that a lot of animes
[28:25] especially lately
[28:28] uh
[28:29] have
[28:30] like
[28:31] one theme
[28:33] that's
[28:34] for everybody for that
[28:36] sudden appearance thing so i i tend to
[28:39] agree when it does when they do get
[28:40] individual ones
[28:42] it does feel more special and
[28:44] more earned i would guess is the right
[28:46] term yeah but like it's an honorable
[28:48] mention so i didn't want to harp on it
[28:49] too much
[28:51] all right and my last one i really hope
[28:53] this is on your list training arcs or
[28:55] just characters actually training
[28:58] it is honorable mention
[29:01] i'll move it to honorable which i was
[29:02] going to discuss it a bit more but oh
[29:04] damn but just just just characters
[29:06] actually growing stronger and not
[29:08] sitting with their thumbs up their asses
[29:10] just it's seeing all the progressions
[29:12] and stuff they go to and thinking to
[29:14] myself wow i could never actually do
[29:16] this
[29:17] but in all seriousness it's nice to see
[29:19] the characters actually want to improve
[29:21] if it's for a special attack an upcoming
[29:24] battle or if it's just that or if it's
[29:26] just oh i have to get stronger and like
[29:28] actually learn to beat make friends in
[29:30] class and and they have like weird
[29:32] training sequences just just that sort
[29:34] of thing it's nice to see
[29:37] yeah they could be so unique i mean i
[29:38] think back to the original
[29:40] one in dragon ball
[29:42] where
[29:43] it's
[29:45] uh goku and krillin running with 50
[29:48] pound turtle shells on their back
[29:49] delivering milk to the residents of an
[29:51] island that's literally their training
[29:53] to get stronger
[29:57] that's that's some that's some that's
[29:59] some karate kid stuff like the wax on
[30:01] wax off thing but that feels a little
[30:03] more useful than hey
[30:05] hey wash clean my car but yeah i
[30:08] think that like as like we said there
[30:10] are so many different unique ways of
[30:11] going about whether it's serious or
[30:13] completely comedic they find ways of
[30:15] making it interesting every time
[30:18] yeah and they're
[30:20] all over the place they've again
[30:23] as you said they could also be in other
[30:25] styles not just fighting and shown in
[30:28] animes they can uh
[30:30] literally show them
[30:32] doing physical training to overcome
[30:35] like
[30:35] social anxiety or speaking in front of
[30:38] people they'll show them doing physical
[30:39] exercises to train for it's like
[30:42] wait why are we doing this
[30:45] it's just like the writers are just like
[30:47] you know what we kind of just let the
[30:48] character go off so we're
[30:51] we all want to go home let's just let's
[30:52] just move on we're good
[30:55] yeah that was going to be my final one
[30:57] but i'll uh
[30:59] just so i'll uh go down to one honorable
[31:02] mention and then my final one as well
[31:04] okay
[31:06] let's see so i kind of touched on this i
[31:09] think in our previous one where
[31:12] the
[31:13] uh how to put it the
[31:17] uh heroes running late to the fight was
[31:20] the original topic i was about to say i
[31:22] was about to say you brought this up you
[31:24] brought this up on both videos
[31:28] but this one is
[31:30] the
[31:31] all hope is lost moment
[31:34] it could be
[31:36] they think um i think of like the frieza
[31:38] moment when he
[31:40] uh
[31:41] everyone like that moment right when he
[31:44] comes out of the water after everyone
[31:46] thinks he's dead before the super saiyan
[31:48] transformation
[31:50] that feeling of
[31:52] that was goku's best attack and
[31:54] this guy and all he did was piss him off
[31:56] more
[31:58] i'll still never understand how we
[32:00] survived that
[32:04] no idea but
[32:05] it's that moment the
[32:07] hero maybe have been on time this time
[32:11] but something's happened though all loss
[32:14] of hope um in berserk i think of the
[32:17] final
[32:18] uh part where uh
[32:20] guts is uh pretty much being
[32:23] eaten alive i think at that point i
[32:25] don't know what else to house to
[32:27] describe it
[32:28] and
[32:29] uh
[32:30] what's his name the
[32:32] the guy who transforms in the end uh is
[32:35] uh pretty much turned into an e the bad
[32:37] guy griffith griffith yes i was let's
[32:39] say we've been friends for a reason long
[32:41] enough and you're forgetting characters
[32:42] from berserk he's gonna find you for
[32:43] that
[32:45] it's been a long time since i've watched
[32:46] berserk
[32:48] but i i guess one of the things for me i
[32:50] guess my dragon ball example would
[32:52] probably be one once piccolo died in the
[32:54] sand that's not because i was like oh
[32:56] crap that's
[32:59] krillin you might want to bust out that
[33:01] destructive disc thing because that's
[33:03] that's the only chance you all got at
[33:04] this point or heck at the end of i don't
[33:07] remember the
[33:08] specifically what the ark was called but
[33:10] in solely they're one of the arcs or
[33:12] ends pretty much like we failed we fail
[33:16] old guys and the world doesn't look good
[33:19] right now
[33:22] i mean another
[33:23] good example of kind of all hope is
[33:25] lost
[33:26] uh that i remember a lot from a kid and
[33:29] it's kind of a tragedy loss of a friend
[33:31] moment similar to the grief yeah it's in
[33:34] mega man nt warrior at the end of the
[33:37] net one grand prix when mega man's
[33:39] deleted
[33:41] and
[33:42] it's like oh
[33:46] yeah we're kind of screwed here because
[33:48] we don't have him anymore
[33:50] lamb did you back him up no that that
[33:52] concept doesn't exist yet i'm like oh
[33:54] damn oh damn
[33:56] this is why we like this is why i like
[33:58] geo more
[34:01] but anyways yeah i could it's a good way
[34:03] to sell the trauma and just the
[34:06] potential heartbreak the characters
[34:08] could be facing right before the
[34:10] character showing up late thing because
[34:12] that's usually what it's followed by
[34:16] and
[34:16] or a sudden power up or
[34:19] the power of friendship
[34:21] yeah i was gonna say the uh the group
[34:23] uniting and standing up again to fight
[34:25] the bad guy once more and somehow
[34:28] they're half healed again even though
[34:30] they might have suffered a punch through
[34:31] the stomach or
[34:33] limbs pretty much broken off
[34:35] yeah but basically like we can't have
[34:38] everybody die richard we can't have
[34:40] everybody die in the anime because like
[34:42] that would be so much more depressing
[34:44] i'm not saying that they're all dead i'm
[34:46] just saying
[34:47] they literally had arms legs
[34:50] broken and then they s and then they get
[34:52] up and continue fighting there it's like
[34:54] no someone else needs to stand up here
[34:56] you're crippled pretty much right now
[34:58] yeah but i do i do understand oh yeah i
[35:01] can i can agree with that
[35:04] all right so
[35:06] what is your final entry point to this i
[35:09] i have a feel you know i i didn't expect
[35:12] training arcs to necessarily be on your
[35:14] list because i actually expected this to
[35:15] be on this one to be on your list but i
[35:17] just i can't not i can't not mention it
[35:20] i feel stupid that we didn't even
[35:21] mention it last time
[35:24] tournaments
[35:26] we really didn't mention that last time
[35:27] no we did not we did not we were not a
[35:30] good channel back then although to be
[35:32] fair we're not a good channel right now
[35:34] but regardless tournaments are awesome
[35:37] dragon ball oh yukihaku show oh just
[35:40] tournaments are just fun and there's
[35:42] usually it usually helps when there's
[35:44] something at stake to them like a grand
[35:47] prize or hey hey if we don't win they're
[35:50] going to kill all of us just it's nice
[35:52] because it usually gives a good variety
[35:54] of characters something to do
[35:56] sure we're not all expecting side
[35:58] character number 25 to do to win the
[36:00] whole tournament for the main heroes but
[36:03] it's nice to see that they're that for
[36:05] the most part they might be able to do
[36:06] some damage or at least like learn a new
[36:08] power-up or something like that
[36:12] i mean
[36:13] we've talked about it a lot on this
[36:14] channel already but the tuning exams is
[36:16] a good example because it it introduces
[36:20] the kona 11 and the sand
[36:23] siblings
[36:25] and lets you get to know them
[36:27] learn their powers learn
[36:29] kind of where they stack and the
[36:31] power between all of them at this point
[36:33] that i think
[36:34] unfortunately after the tuning exams
[36:36] doesn't really go away you don't really
[36:38] change that much position anymore
[36:40] yeah it's just it's just and normally
[36:43] for the most part anyway the fights are
[36:46] if anything i feel like tournament
[36:47] fights are where they the animators and
[36:49] the writers decide to step it up
[36:50] actually and it's not just the best part
[36:53] nowadays it's not even hey what if you
[36:55] knock out your opponent or you kill your
[36:56] opponent you win like there are other
[36:58] things like hey you have to protect this
[37:00] part of the bay so you have to do this
[37:02] sort of thing black clover had an
[37:04] awesome tournament episode and it was
[37:06] completely filler it's just hey all the
[37:08] captains get together do just fight do
[37:11] whatever you want uh and it was an
[37:13] awesome episode what
[37:15] it's just it's tournament tournaments
[37:16] are cool like if you don't like
[37:18] tournaments you're not gonna think what
[37:20] are you doing here go get lost
[37:22] go away
[37:25] yeah i kind of include like
[37:28] olympic games style stuff in this as
[37:30] well where it's teams of people
[37:32] competing in different activities so it
[37:34] doesn't necessarily all have to be
[37:36] fights for this it could be
[37:39] i mean i've mentioned the uh fairy tale
[37:41] grand magic games arc when it comes to
[37:43] this stuff there is fighting in it but
[37:45] there's also
[37:47] ah god one of them's like the train
[37:50] where characters have to run on a train
[37:53] uh style thing uh and make it to the
[37:56] front from the
[37:57] end of it to the beginning of it uh
[37:59] while it's moving and
[38:01] uh different obstacles are coming so it
[38:03] can be different things it doesn't
[38:04] necessarily have to be physical fights
[38:06] heck in hunter x hunter i'm pretty sure
[38:08] there was a volleyball tournament in one
[38:10] arc but i could i could be thinking
[38:11] about something else
[38:13] no i'm pretty sure there is there's also
[38:15] rock paper scissors
[38:17] i think that's
[38:18] more of a move but
[38:20] yeah but base basically it they're just
[38:23] they're just they're just fun
[38:25] they're just fun and we just get some
[38:27] awesome moments between characters and
[38:29] just them getting stronger and sad but
[38:31] sadly it's the peak for some characters
[38:34] because you know some after this we're
[38:35] never going to see them get this strong
[38:36] again
[38:39] yeah unfortunately i think of that as
[38:40] like
[38:41] the yamcha's and the krillins
[38:43] yamcha comes back supposed to be strong
[38:45] and then
[38:47] he's kicked out in like what the second
[38:48] round of the original tournament and
[38:50] then
[38:51] his legs broken by tien in the first
[38:53] round the next year yeah and like
[38:56] like going back to pokemon a lot of
[38:58] people will tell me you know i don't
[39:00] watch pokemon on a consistent basis
[39:02] anymore but when the tournaments for at
[39:04] the end of the season starts that's when
[39:07] i check in and honestly i'm i'm kind of
[39:09] with them on that now sure we all know
[39:11] not every tournament is going to be
[39:12] amazing but i'm willing to let
[39:15] tournaments continue because with every
[39:18] mediocre or even bad one we get there
[39:20] are tons of ones that are just brilliant
[39:23] masterpieces
[39:25] yep i tend to agree i remember i only
[39:28] watched what the first
[39:30] season
[39:31] theories of
[39:33] sun and moon and then came back
[39:36] after it fit after it wrapped up and
[39:38] watched the
[39:39] uh
[39:40] finals in that one so
[39:42] i've seen pretty much i think i think
[39:44] i've even seen parts of the black and
[39:46] white one uh just to see what happens in
[39:48] there but still no we're gonna have to
[39:50] just completely finish black and white
[39:52] at some point you know that right never
[39:54] we have to we have to
[39:57] but anyways what's your last one
[40:00] so this is one that i
[40:02] love and hate at the exact same time
[40:07] and
[40:09] it it's
[40:11] it is stupid
[40:14] when you think about it but
[40:16] it it it's it always happens in enemy
[40:19] swords are better than guns
[40:24] go ahead
[40:26] so in almost every anime
[40:29] there uh that involves
[40:31] someone who's a master sword fighter
[40:33] they're going to face someone with a a
[40:36] gun they're going to chop the bullet in
[40:37] half they're going to beat the person it
[40:40] doesn't matter that
[40:41] oh they were a sniper and 100
[40:44] meters away shooting it's
[40:46] they're still going to run up and
[40:48] chop the gun into pieces or
[40:50] disarm them that person with the gun
[40:53] never wins
[40:54] yeah battlefield friends will be far
[40:56] more interesting when the characters
[40:58] start using swords and stuff like that
[41:00] but i i do it's a it's a funny cliche to
[41:03] me to think of like all right i i have
[41:06] this person tracked i have know
[41:08] everything about them their vital
[41:10] sponsors everything and the guy with the
[41:11] swords like
[41:12] sword gober and then just takes them out
[41:15] it's silly but to me it's just the right
[41:18] amount of silly
[41:20] exactly it's
[41:22] one of those things every so often i do
[41:24] kind of want the
[41:25] indiana jones thing where the person
[41:28] comes out and is doing all their sword
[41:29] moves and the person just pulls out
[41:31] their gun shoots them and walks away but
[41:34] you never get that really an anime you
[41:35] get you get the
[41:37] i'm gonna shoot you from 100 meters away
[41:39] you'll never get close to me and then
[41:41] the person takes off running with the
[41:43] sword and man just close the distance
[41:45] and
[41:45] take them out so yeah it happens all the
[41:49] time at least it seems like
[41:51] yeah the only time i'll really start
[41:52] hitting it is when the sword itself
[41:54] starts shooting actual bullets then i'm
[41:56] act then i'm going to be like all right
[41:57] this is jump this this is officially
[41:59] jumped to the shark it's jump the keys
[42:01] to me
[42:02] [Music]
[42:03] i mean yeah i think that's even happened
[42:06] well i don't mean i don't mean like
[42:08] energy blasts or something like that i
[42:09] mean like the sword actually starts
[42:11] firing bullets like a gun that's that's
[42:13] what i'm going to be like all right i
[42:15] got i gotta kick richard's ass for this
[42:16] i'm gonna yell at him for this
[42:18] no i think it's happened before i think
[42:20] it might be in tri-gun or something it's
[42:23] quite possible with something like that
[42:25] oh my god your robber you're probably
[42:27] not even wrong but
[42:29] i i can side with that like i said it's
[42:31] just goofy enough for me to it's goofy
[42:33] enough for me to like i can tolerate it
[42:36] exactly it's
[42:38] one of my ones that i love to hate
[42:41] but i still love it
[42:43] [Music]
[42:44] so i'm starting to find out what you
[42:46] love to hate now and i'm i'm not quite
[42:48] sure how i feel about it but
[42:50] i guess that i guess that's that that's
[42:53] all we have that's all for today
[42:55] yeah i believe so
[42:57] all right so ladies gentlemen and others
[42:58] which what anime cliches that
[43:01] what anime cliches do you love of do you
[43:03] like the more wholesome characters like
[43:05] the characters who will do anything for
[43:07] their friends or just be supportive for
[43:10] stuff like that or d are you one of
[43:12] those people like richard you're just
[43:14] like oh i like when all hope is lost and
[43:16] people just are just empty and sad that
[43:18] sort of thing just let us know what
[43:20] cliches do you like that we haven't
[43:21] really talked about just that sort of
[43:23] thing
[43:24] exactly and also let us know if there's
[43:26] any that like how i like
[43:28] love to hate
[43:30] it seems like i have a lot of lovey uh
[43:32] cliches here yeah but yours are more
[43:34] your love hate stuff with anime is more
[43:36] than anger and mine's more i'm just
[43:38] laughing like an idiot also just let us
[43:40] know what other sequel videos would you
[43:42] like for us because i do because i'm
[43:44] gonna be honest we could do the our
[43:46] favorite anime arcs we could do that
[43:48] video forever but we could also do the
[43:50] anime arcs that need fixing thing
[43:53] oh and the worst anime episodes i have
[43:55] so much i have so much ammunition for
[43:57] everything nowadays so we could do this
[44:00] for a while
[44:02] exactly um
[44:04] i think our next episode might be uh
[44:06] kind of how we feel about the new
[44:08] pokemon games coming out because this is
[44:11] actually coming out on or this has been
[44:12] filmed on the day that those games are
[44:14] being released so yeah that is correct
[44:17] and we get to talk about just how awful
[44:19] and dreadful those games are and how
[44:21] game freak is screwing us over or talk
[44:24] about how we're going to start kissing
[44:25] game for each feet because they know
[44:27] everything of what we want or we're just
[44:29] like somewhere in between like
[44:31] or just like i like it but or i hate it
[44:34] but i don't like it but like it's i
[44:36] don't know people get crazy about stuff
[44:38] on the internet we try to be a little
[44:39] more tame about it for the most part
[44:42] exactly
[44:44] but anyways we will catch you guys later
[44:46] thank you for listening comment and buy
[44:49] the stuff on the shop and everything and
[44:51] we will see you guys next time this has
