spk_0
Hello and welcome to Anime Out of Context!
spk_0
The show where I attempt to explain, sometimes weird, sometimes wonderful, but always hilarious
spk_0
world of anime.
spk_0
And I am a silly frog.
spk_0
Thanks for those words.
spk_0
I'm Sean Rollins.
spk_0
I'm Remington Chase.
spk_0
Alright, Remington.
spk_0
You know, I was going to be nice to you today.
spk_0
You can still be nice.
spk_0
You can still be nice.
spk_0
I don't really have.
spk_0
We celebrate in your birthday in the free banter.
spk_0
We can keep on celebrating, baby.
spk_0
Well, we are going to keep celebrating in a weird way because, Rem, it's been a while
spk_0
since we've done something weird in short form.
spk_0
Okay, okay.
spk_0
Alright.
spk_0
And I was like, yeah, that seems like a...
spk_0
And I stumbled across something that was genuinely weird when I was searching for anime
spk_0
from a specifically 2020, because, you know, that was a year with lots of great things.
spk_0
Yeah, yeah.
spk_0
So I was like, uh, and I distinctly remembered that 2020 had a lot of anime that were not
spk_0
very good, and thus eventually led to the rise of a lot of streamed content, especially
spk_0
V-Tubers, because, you know, there weren't a whole lot of great shows around, but by
spk_0
God, we're the funny anime women playing video games, a nice distraction from all the bad
spk_0
things that we're going for.
spk_0
So I was like, yeah, what's going on in spring of 2020?
spk_0
Is there something specific that comes to mind?
spk_0
Because this...
spk_0
Because logically speaking, spring of 2020, right before things really went to shit.
spk_0
So, you know, the last of the, like, supposedly high quality stuff from the year.
spk_0
Uh, and I found one that was short form and weird, and like, it's been a while since we
spk_0
done something truly weird, and that I am going to go out on a limb and say not many people
spk_0
have heard of.
spk_0
Okay, all right.
spk_0
Hey, let's get weird with it, maybe.
spk_0
Because last week we did something insanely popular, much to your disdain.
spk_0
Yes, yes, yes.
spk_0
Uh, and this week I wanted to talk about something that was the exact opposite.
spk_0
Uh, but...
spk_0
We're digging deep into the depths of obscurity.
spk_0
Yes, and yet at the same time, it ended up accidentally kind of being a sort of eSekai as well.
spk_0
Goddamn it.
spk_0
All right.
spk_0
Well, this is a terrible idea.
spk_0
I don't, I don't like a back.
spk_0
Well, I, I, I, unfortunately, it's already gone.
spk_0
I've already watched all 24 episodes that you're going to watch.
spk_0
So, you know, we got to keep going.
spk_0
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, it's short form though.
spk_0
It better be really fucking short form.
spk_0
Ah!
spk_0
Short form means like, it's only 20 minutes instead of 22.
spk_0
I mean, some short form we've covered have been like 12 to 15.
spk_0
So like a minute episode.
spk_0
So it's short form.
spk_0
It has a wide margin.
spk_0
Yes.
spk_0
Uh, these episodes are only five minutes apiece, right?
spk_0
And that's including the, uh, like opening and ending.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
All right.
spk_0
So you're going to be able to blitz through it.
spk_0
Don't worry.
spk_0
Beautiful.
spk_0
All right.
spk_0
Back in.
spk_0
Yes.
spk_0
And, Rem, I'm going to tell you right now, it is a wild concept.
spk_0
And even wilder is the medium that they use to animate it.
spk_0
Because, Rem, uh, remember, remember years ago when we got like a
spk_0
Scrainer for a weird indie horror film.
spk_0
Uh, violence, violence, violence, violence, violence, violence.
spk_0
spk_0
It's one of the more memorable things we've ever covered and we're the only
spk_0
motherfuckers who ever see it.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
Cause our career, it was horror and our curiosity got the better of us.
spk_0
Um, and it was so visually distinct and weird and interesting.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
Uh, hey, what a violence Voyager was a historical, uh, reverse East
spk_0
A.K.
spk_0
Oh, that, uh, that sounds like a fucking trip, especially in short form.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
Uh, because today, Remington, what we're going to be watching is, uh, a short
spk_0
form anime from 2020, simply titled, uh, Besatsu Olympia, uh, Ky Close.
spk_0
Uh, and the last one is Greek.
spk_0
So I, I don't know if I'm pronouncing that correctly.
spk_0
Uh, but, uh, that directly translates to extra Olympia Ky Close.
spk_0
All right.
spk_0
All right.
spk_0
And sort of where we're getting Greek.
spk_0
We are getting Greek, uh, because, uh, this anime and I said you're not, um, it's about
spk_0
Demetrios.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
You know, Olympix Olympian stuff, uh, who is a statue from what I can tell because he's Greek.
spk_0
Um, and, uh, he's not, uh, having a great time with, uh, the Olympics, you know, cause
spk_0
they're going on and he's being berated for not taking them as, uh, a series and easy
spk_0
and easy.
spk_0
He's just not doing, uh, what he should be doing.
spk_0
Um, until he gets struck by lightning and is transported to 1964 Japan to compete in
spk_0
the Tokyo Olympics.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
And this is a short form anime about him blinking between the two time periods to impress
spk_0
the people in his time period with what he learns and does in, but massive air quotes,
spk_0
modern Japan.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
Sure.
spk_0
Why not as potential short form means they can just get weird with it.
spk_0
I appreciate that.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
They, they do get weird because there's a lot of paper and clay and it's strange,
spk_0
Rimm.
spk_0
It's strange.
spk_0
I, like genuinely, I, I saw the poster alone and thought to myself, no, what the fuck is
spk_0
this?
spk_0
So hey, I, I, I can appreciate some, some experimental visuals.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
And, uh, if we call it there, that means that this part one was around five minutes long.
spk_0
We have been reporting for 40 minutes.
spk_0
Hey, uh, shout out to our lovely patron where sometimes we go really long on our weekly
spk_0
pre-banners or our pre-banners good and ex, they're, well, they're bonus content.
spk_0
Are they enjoyable bonus content?
spk_0
They're bonus content.
spk_0
To, to, to two specific people apparently.
spk_0
But yeah, Rimm.
spk_0
And I, like, that's part of why I regret choosing this anime today because I didn't know
spk_0
you were going to fuck me in the pre-batter.
spk_0
So I don't have much prepared and I'm just recovering.
spk_0
He's complaining.
spk_0
He loved it.
spk_0
All right.
spk_0
He has a great time every week.
spk_0
Don't, you can just trust me on that.
spk_0
All right.
spk_0
You can, you can just believe it.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
But hey, look, this is a weird short form anime.
spk_0
It has claymation, it has paper animation, traditional animation.
spk_0
It's got a lot of weird shit.
spk_0
Uh, nobody talks about it.
spk_0
I don't think anybody has ever heard about it.
spk_0
And, uh, honoris the bard.
spk_0
Uh, very much does the ending song every time.
spk_0
So, you know, all right, I'm hyped.
spk_0
I, I hope so.
spk_0
So I guess without further ado, let's go watch it.
spk_0
Let's go watch some extra Olympia, uh, Kyklos.
spk_0
Fuck you, editor.
spk_0
I'm a slutty cat girl.
spk_0
And we are back after watching all 24 episodes of the 2020 short form anime.
spk_0
The Satsu Olympia Kyklos, uh, or extra Olympia Kyklos.
spk_0
And, uh, Ram, are you feeling, are you feeling inspired?
spk_0
Are you ready to give it your all at the next upcoming summer Olympics?
spk_0
Oh, for sure.
spk_0
You, you ain't seen somebody doing egg run like me.
spk_0
Yeah, no, no.
spk_0
The classic Olympic trial, the egg run.
spk_0
Yeah, yeah.
spk_0
Uh, or, or, what was it?
spk_0
Shooting olives out of out of your nose underwater.
spk_0
Yeah, the classic, the classic little lens, the Catholic, you know?
spk_0
Like, if anything, this, this little show prepped you for the, for everything you could
spk_0
need, really.
spk_0
Uh, but was I correct?
spk_0
And, uh, when I told you it has a little bit of, uh, of a violin's voyage or flavor.
spk_0
Oh, yeah.
spk_0
Uh, if anything, like artistically, even wilder, it is.
spk_0
Yes, yes.
spk_0
Because rather than horror, it's comedy.
spk_0
Yeah, it has a paper craft stop motion to represent everything Japanese, claymation stop
spk_0
motion to represent everything Greek, occasionally dabbling into other mixed media and live action.
spk_0
It's a wild ride, brother.
spk_0
Yeah, that's not like that.
spk_0
It also insanely has a brand new custom outro song after every episode.
spk_0
Yeah, like, and it's not just like, oh, well, we'll change the lyrics or whatever.
spk_0
They, it's completely new music.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
What the fuck?
spk_0
Ha, ha, ha, ha.
spk_0
Well, Krem, I told you it's been a while since we did something just raw and weird.
spk_0
And I wanted to give you that experience.
spk_0
They, they put truly an insane amount of effort into this show.
spk_0
It is crazy.
spk_0
It is mind-boggling.
spk_0
And the, the tragic thing is I would, I bet everything that they were not rewarded with
spk_0
the effort they put in.
spk_0
I don't, this isn't the type of thing that gets mainstream appeal.
spk_0
It's my thinking.
spk_0
And I would be surprised if it had a lot of people who've seen it at all.
spk_0
Which is unfortunate because holy shit, it's different.
spk_0
And it's fresh.
spk_0
It has so much effort put into so much of it at all times.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
It doesn't really help that they took it off of Crunchyroll as well.
spk_0
Yeah, I will, I will know, you know, not the easiest thing to find.
spk_0
And, and the last episode I watched without subtitles because nowhere, I looked at multiple
spk_0
sources, nowhere had subtitles.
spk_0
No.
spk_0
Just nowhere.
spk_0
So I got the vibes.
spk_0
I got the vibes.
spk_0
Yeah, you get to interpret it.
spk_0
But, but yeah, it's, oh man.
spk_0
Yeah, yeah.
spk_0
So ultimately though, Rem, did you have a good time with the weird esoteric Olympia show?
spk_0
Oh, yeah, it was, it was a fun time.
spk_0
I think, I think that their comedic timing works pretty well.
spk_0
The very energetic, very fast paced, which admittedly, especially when, uh,
spk_0
Udels and Udels of infomercial texts also appear on the screen, uh, can make it difficult
spk_0
for somebody using subtitles, right?
spk_0
Yes.
spk_0
Because at times, you know, depending on where you're watching, just the screen will be filled
spk_0
with subtitles because they're doing an infomercial bit where there's text everywhere.
spk_0
Yes.
spk_0
And it's like, oh, fuck, all right.
spk_0
What, what do I actually have to read here?
spk_0
Oh, I mean, hey, if you just learn to read Japanese, then I don't think you'd have a problem.
spk_0
Yeah, see, there you go.
spk_0
I, I think that it's not, especially for those reasons with how fast paced it is and often doing crazy shit.
spk_0
Probably not the most accessible watch, probably not.
spk_0
Not something that you can bring to the pub and be like, oh, man, what you want recently?
spk_0
Oh, man, I watched that new, uh, that new Squid Game show or, or, or, or latest new Netflix craze.
spk_0
What about you?
spk_0
It's like, oh, yeah, I, uh, I watched extra Olympia, uh, kind of close.
spk_0
Uh, you guys should give it a watch.
spk_0
It's, uh, it's really exciting.
spk_0
Uh, nothing quite like it.
spk_0
It's going to be a hard sell with the lads, I think.
spk_0
Yes.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
And, and here's the thing, right?
spk_0
I, I, fuck with this because it is fresh and different.
spk_0
If you are looking for anything that is familiar, you're not going to get it here.
spk_0
You're just not.
spk_0
You're going to be disappointed.
spk_0
Uh, but if, if you, if you genuinely want something different, I mean, it's, and it is, it's, it's a solid comedy.
spk_0
There, there are multiple, uh, very entertaining moments.
spk_0
So, it, it, to me, Trees, a lot of it is him sort of developing, um, some Olympic games for a small town.
spk_0
By getting inspiration from Tokyo.
spk_0
At one point he has to come up with a bunch of different games and he comes up with a bunch of them, but they're shit and the, the mayor of the village is like, these are all shit.
spk_0
What are you talking about?
spk_0
So he goes, Demetrius, he goes to Tokyo.
spk_0
He gets inspiration.
spk_0
He's like, oh shit.
spk_0
Oh shit.
spk_0
We look, our village is, is by the sea.
spk_0
We should do some water events in Tokyo.
spk_0
Look, look at all these different water events that they have, right?
spk_0
In their sports.
spk_0
Uh, so I can go back.
spk_0
Um, but then instead of just stealing any of the events from Tokyo, uh, he, he just puts all of his shitty events underwater.
spk_0
And that was great.
spk_0
That's a great moment.
spk_0
That's a very fun moment.
spk_0
It's a very good joke.
spk_0
Um, at the same time, sometimes like really kind of so nine.
spk_0
Uh, they, they just show Demetrius the horrors of modern warfare and it has no punchline.
spk_0
They're just, they're just like, yeah, no, it's insanely fucked now.
spk_0
Imagine, imagine describing nuclear weapons.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
Somebody in ancient grace, nuclear weapons, chemical weapons, uh, fucking trench warfare.
spk_0
Like any of it.
spk_0
Oh, oh, fuck.
spk_0
Um, it's, which makes that, uh, particularly wild episode.
spk_0
Uh, but you love it.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
It's great.
spk_0
It's a very solid show.
spk_0
Uh, it's just one that I, uh, I, I think more people would enjoy than I, I think it's almost certain that not enough people have checked this out.
spk_0
And that if more people did, a lot of them would appreciate it.
spk_0
At the same time, I cannot good faith say, hey, this is for everybody.
spk_0
Come check it out.
spk_0
Uh, if, look, if, if you were angry at my eminent,
spk_0
and some of the men's in shadow, review and thoughts, you probably wouldn't to vibe with this.
spk_0
You probably, it's probably a little too out there.
spk_0
And hey, it's not a one to one.
spk_0
You might, you might be the rare person who likes both, uh, or, or, or, or who dislikes both.
spk_0
Uh, but I, you know, I, I just think that it shirks convention in a lot of ways.
spk_0
but man, truly the animation is stunning.
spk_0
It is a stunning scene.
spk_0
It is a high effort.
spk_0
The fact that they mix media in so many ways
spk_0
and they have so many creative thoughts
spk_0
and then they have silly ass music videos
spk_0
at the end of every custom, just custom,
spk_0
do whatever they're talking about.
spk_0
Which if you're wondering, my favorite,
spk_0
or at least the one I found the most hilarious,
spk_0
probably episode 13's Lady Discrimination,
spk_0
which was insane and is a retro song
spk_0
about sexism and bigotry and it's a fucking trip.
spk_0
It's, as a lot of this show is.
spk_0
And there's Dolphin Sidekick who's around
spk_0
and he's enjoyable.
spk_0
It's a wild ride.
spk_0
I don't know what the fuck to say about this show,
spk_0
beyond what I have, which is unfortunate.
spk_0
Cause it's like, I watch it a lot.
spk_0
I watch there's a good amount of fucking content here, right?
spk_0
I mean, it's an episode 24 episodes.
spk_0
That's over two hours of content.
spk_0
Yeah, it's a lot of, and I thought
spk_0
that it was going to be more episodic,
spk_0
but no, it follows a linear story.
spk_0
It's completely linear story,
spk_0
which if anything, what I, more or less expected,
spk_0
I was like, oh, it's going to be silly Greek man competing
spk_0
in real or imagined events or something, right?
spk_0
And each episode is a different event,
spk_0
which would make sense.
spk_0
And that's an easy way to do it.
spk_0
Not the way they do it.
spk_0
They're crazy.
spk_0
And I also appreciate that this clearly comes from,
spk_0
from someone or some people who do enjoy
spk_0
and appreciate Greek history and ancient Greek history.
spk_0
Because it's not that it's like,
spk_0
it needs to be educational, it needs to teach.
spk_0
It plays fast and loose,
spk_0
but it's pretty obvious whenever it's playing fast and loose.
spk_0
And it'll also, it will genuinely show you things
spk_0
about ancient Greece,
spk_0
but in a fun, humorous way and silly way.
spk_0
And it's clear that, yeah, they've studied the fuck out of it.
spk_0
Ha, ha, ha, ha.
spk_0
I mean, yeah, which, you know,
spk_0
you got to love for like a quote, quote historical show.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
And once again, they do that with however
spk_0
toning down the humor or the energy.
spk_0
It's, it's great.
spk_0
This is a fucking wild show.
spk_0
And I, I'm gonna be heartbroken by, first of all,
spk_0
I'm sure how many people have rated it,
spk_0
because that's indicative of just how few people have watched it.
spk_0
And then two, I, I know, I know,
spk_0
I know that when we get to the question
spk_0
of asking about the rating,
spk_0
I'm gonna be disappointed, John,
spk_0
because it's a short form.
spk_0
And the weaves, I don't, I don't know why.
spk_0
I don't, they, they bounce off of short form,
spk_0
despite the fact that short form is, is pound for pound,
spk_0
higher quality than the vast majority of, of normal length shows.
spk_0
Often, I think it's because they,
spk_0
they, they need to make the most of their time.
spk_0
They need to, to make their moments count.
spk_0
It's more deliberately and thoughtfully crafted, right?
spk_0
Whereas a lot of shows with normal, normal timing,
spk_0
that's the default, right?
spk_0
That's, that's not a deliberate decision at any point.
spk_0
You just sort of have to, to do the standard thing.
spk_0
And that can be done unthinkingly and generically,
spk_0
very, very often and much more easily.
spk_0
Yeah, to put, to put some perspective,
spk_0
the author of this, Yamazaki Mari,
spk_0
she apparently lived in Italy for 10 years.
spk_0
So you could say that she's a big fan of,
spk_0
you know, that European culture there.
spk_0
So yeah, no, it completely makes sense.
spk_0
And from what I can tell, most of her other works,
spk_0
at least have like vibes of Italy
spk_0
and that little area around the Mediterranean.
spk_0
So, you know, and apparently also did a Steve Jobs manga.
spk_0
What the fuck?
spk_0
It's crazy, it's wild.
spk_0
It's like a manga adaptation of the Walter Isaacson
spk_0
biography.
spk_0
So she made like a brief, oh, I say brief,
spk_0
25 chapters of a Steve Jobs manga.
spk_0
But then I know this is her most recent work
spk_0
from what I can tell and also,
spk_0
her most current work I should say.
spk_0
It looks like she has another thing
spk_0
that she's working on that also has a Roman theme to it.
spk_0
I don't know what the fuck to expect from like manga.
spk_0
Oh, this guy.
spk_0
Oh, I mean, I haven't looked at it myself,
spk_0
but I can guarantee it's probably a bunch of
spk_0
gags just lined up very similarly in a fairly simplistic style.
spk_0
And then the studio just went buck fucking wild
spk_0
with how they interpreted that style.
spk_0
Like here, I'll send you the image of the cover of the manga.
spk_0
And you'll already get an idea of the vibe
spk_0
of what the manga is probably like.
spk_0
His weiner is out.
spk_0
I mean, yeah, of course, that's the traditional way.
spk_0
His Greek weiner.
spk_0
Would you love me if I had my Greek weiner out?
spk_0
You're not Greek.
spk_0
My weiner might be.
spk_0
I don't think that's true.
spk_0
Are you a biologist?
spk_0
No, but I also know that your exact,
spk_0
your exact makeup in terms of point of origin is,
spk_0
let's just say there's room for debate.
spk_0
And if there's room for debate, why can't I have a Greek weiner?
spk_0
And then look, if you want to give your blood
spk_0
to one of the people who steal DNA and find out for yourself,
spk_0
then go for it.
spk_0
But yeah, just I more people should check this out
spk_0
because holy shit, it's so different, so strange, so fresh.
spk_0
Especially whether you're looking for just like something
spk_0
a weird, different little comedy or if you just care
spk_0
or give a shit about animation, especially stop motion,
spk_0
but just generally, right?
spk_0
Then then you gotta give it a chance.
spk_0
You gotta come check it out.
spk_0
Oh, yeah, it is a trip and a half.
spk_0
And it's a trip and a half that, as you might expect,
spk_0
not as many people gave a watch.
spk_0
So if you had a guest room, what do you think the score for
spk_0
this lovely little little forgotten piece of 2020 is?
spk_0
Oh, come on, it's gonna be the weeps fucking
spk_0
hate short form.
spk_0
It's always underrated as fuck.
spk_0
And if you wanna know some extra weird things about this,
spk_0
the studio that made this is apparently one called
spk_0
Ghost Hay Studio.
spk_0
This is the only thing they've done.
spk_0
That's insane, this is, this is,
spk_0
it was directed by a fella named Rio Fuji.
spk_0
He has, this is the only full anime he's directed,
spk_0
but he was also an episode director for a show called
spk_0
Ichiman, which looking at, is this the show?
spk_0
Oh no, they're wet.
spk_0
Buh!
spk_0
Oh, excuse me, I'm sorry.
spk_0
He directed several commercial episodes
spk_0
of an online job search site.
spk_0
I'm not gonna keep it.
spk_0
This is crazy.
spk_0
So just like a director pretty new to this shit,
spk_0
a studio pretty new to this shit, and that this is,
spk_0
this is what they create.
spk_0
They're just like, hey.
spk_0
Well, with like an original story from an author
spk_0
who lived in Italy and apparently loves everything
spk_0
about like the Southern Europe area.
spk_0
And either way, yeah, do we want to do it
spk_0
in any of a familiar way?
spk_0
Maybe we start smallers like, no, let's fucking go crazy.
spk_0
Let's do some insane shit.
spk_0
Oh God, okay, I think, I think,
spk_0
oh God, how trash do I think the weeps are?
spk_0
You're pretty fucking trash.
spk_0
Every number I'm thinking of, I'm like, I don't think,
spk_0
it, every number simultaneously too low and too high
spk_0
because of the weeps bias against short form.
spk_0
I think that he's also directed something called Tarot Man,
spk_0
which looks like a surreal like power ranger style thing.
spk_0
So yeah, this is the only animation thing he's directed,
spk_0
but apparently he directed this.
spk_0
I honestly, I give this director more money.
spk_0
I just want to see them create some more shit.
spk_0
Okay, I think that, oh God, I can't say,
spk_0
I can't predict that it's going to be below seven,
spk_0
even though my brain is telling me it's below seven,
spk_0
but my heart refuses.
spk_0
So I'm your heart, tell you.
spk_0
My heart says, hey, come on, the weeps aren't the total worse.
spk_0
Maybe they gave it at least like a 7.2,
spk_0
which is under rating it, but in a semi reasonable fashion.
spk_0
I'm going to say seven, but my brain says it's going to be lower,
spk_0
but I don't want to, I don't want to believe that.
spk_0
So seven point zero zero.
spk_0
Yeah, I'm guessing at the floor of what I'm comfortable guessing
spk_0
because you genuinely think it should be way higher than that.
spk_0
Yeah, but I, oh God, it's going to be lower.
spk_0
I don't want to be sad.
spk_0
I just know it.
spk_0
I just know it.
spk_0
Well, Ram, since this came out in spring of 2020,
spk_0
only 7,000 people have reviewed it.
spk_0
Come on, people, come on.
spk_0
Genuinely, like it appeared on Crunchyroll for a bit,
spk_0
and then at some point they removed it.
spk_0
And why?
spk_0
Probably because now enough people were watching it, I guess.
spk_0
Yeah, Sam, so now it's a pain in the ass to find everywhere.
spk_0
So, but if you can find it, go watch it.
spk_0
But with those, God, with those 7,000 ratings, Ram,
spk_0
extra Olympia Kykflos is sitting nice and pretty at 6.96.
spk_0
Yeah, yeah, there we are.
spk_0
There we are, folks.
spk_0
Yeah, and genuinely speaking, like,
spk_0
there's like the score breakdown isn't as dramatic
spk_0
as you would think.
spk_0
It has like a similar curvature to most.
spk_0
It's just that there aren't a bunch of people blindly giving it 10 out of 10s.
spk_0
Why is it only with the short form
spk_0
that the weaves can rate things more accurately?
spk_0
Why is it only there?
spk_0
Well, I don't know if it's more accurate
spk_0
because genuinely over half the votes are five or below.
spk_0
That's crazy.
spk_0
Y'all fucking suck.
spk_0
Oh, sorry, that's a rough, I, I, I,
spk_0
I fourth of the votes be a little more generous.
spk_0
Yeah, because yeah, the vast majority of the votes
spk_0
about 2000 of them are seven out of 10,
spk_0
which I feel like is normal for a normal piece of media.
spk_0
There's something about short form that I feel like almost all weaves are like,
spk_0
it caps out at seven, maybe eight if it's transcended.
spk_0
Why?
spk_0
Why do the weaves put that, that random ceiling on short form?
spk_0
Well, there's about 11,100 people who gave it a nine or 10 out of 10.
spk_0
And it's like, I, I probably end up giving it like a seven, seven point five,
spk_0
but with an asterisk of like holy shit worth checking out
spk_0
because it's so different in fresh and neat.
spk_0
But like if he calibrated that to webrainings,
spk_0
I'd be a fucking 8.1.
spk_0
Yeah, you'd think.
spk_0
And genuinely, when you look at the fully written reviews,
spk_0
most of them are praising the show.
spk_0
They're like, hey, this is a weird fun experience.
spk_0
Give it a watch.
spk_0
Like I, I, I have to scroll a bit to find,
spk_0
because there aren't many.
spk_0
And yeah, I don't see any straight up negative reviews.
spk_0
There's two mixed reviews, feelings reviews.
spk_0
Come on listeners, listeners, lovely listeners.
spk_0
Give it a shot.
spk_0
Give it a shot.
spk_0
If you are into animation or weird little fuckers, then check it out.
spk_0
I mean, they have to be in weird little fuckers.
spk_0
They listen to us.
spk_0
You're here.
spk_0
So I mean, come on.
spk_0
There's gotta be a thought.
spk_0
Like, look, I'm not expecting this episode of our podcast to do amazing numbers.
spk_0
But the people that do listen and give it a watch will be pleasantly surprised.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
That generally the most negative thing on this review is in this person's opinion.
spk_0
They think that this anime was made primarily for Japanese people,
spk_0
because it's, it's got a lot of very, you know, Japanese coded comedy.
spk_0
Oh, sure.
spk_0
Sure.
spk_0
A lot of it, a lot of it is comparing and contrasting ancient Greece and modern Japan.
spk_0
Where I suppose like Japan in the 1960s.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
Which, hey, guess what?
spk_0
In 2020, at the time of this anime, not a lot of people outside of Japan probably have
spk_0
any experience or knowledge of.
spk_0
But I think that that's despite that, that's still great.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
Because if anything, if you have questions about a thing, it could cause you to do a little
spk_0
more research and look up some things, you know, spark that curiosity.
spk_0
See if that, see if that, see if it's like, is that true and look into it and be like,
spk_0
oh, wow, fascinating.
spk_0
You know, learn a little.
spk_0
Stop talking to AI bots.
spk_0
Google a document and read it or something.
spk_0
It's not hard.
spk_0
Oh, yeah.
spk_0
More people should check it out.
spk_0
Unfortunately, not enough will, even with our recommendation.
spk_0
It's, yeah, it's short form.
spk_0
It's weird and unfortunately, those are our hurdles that many, for some reason, can't
spk_0
overcoat.
spk_0
And truly, Rem, that is a definition of horror, wouldn't she say?
spk_0
Oh, but of course, because this is the first episode of the October month for us because
spk_0
I spaced some things.
spk_0
We got our buffer back and I was like, oh, yeah, I got one more week before we got
spk_0
this time.
spk_0
My timing is a little off, but hey, you know what?
spk_0
We talk about all kinds of weird horror throughout the month of October anyways.
spk_0
I always think that the first week of November is a great time to celebrate Halloween.
spk_0
I'm in fairness.
spk_0
We do that anyways.
spk_0
That's true, true.
spk_0
Halloween is like a week long event.
spk_0
But, you know, it's fine.
spk_0
It's fine.
spk_0
It's fine.
spk_0
The true, this very spooky themed episode, the horror is, hey, people are underestimating
spk_0
high quality short form content, which is insane because we live in the world of TikTok
spk_0
and apparently that's what people like these days.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
Alright, so I guess with that in mind, hey, Rem, any chance you'd like to go back and
spk_0
watch some more Besatsu Olympia Kai Klos sometime?
spk_0
Oh, look, I'm not big on rewatching.
spk_0
I'd rewatch it.
spk_0
I'd love it if they created just more, something new.
spk_0
Come on.
spk_0
You want more?
spk_0
Maybe we can watch a tarot man and see if that's worth watching.
spk_0
Just this weird, weird live action Kaiju thing with a man and a morph suit and definitely
spk_0
not wearing a dancer's belt.
spk_0
They very carefully placed a building in the promotional image just to make sure that
spk_0
not much attention was drawn to it.
spk_0
But having seen some of the other images, oh yeah, the costume budget went all into the
spk_0
mass.
spk_0
But with that, thank you also for tuning in.
spk_0
We really appreciate it.
spk_0
If you enjoy Rem being absolutely excited for the future of Olympics, then please head
spk_0
on over to wherever you get your podcasts and leave us a review.
spk_0
They mean the world to us and we do read every single one.
spk_0
And if that's still not enough for you, which.tv slash anime of context for myself building
spk_0

spk_0
So Rem who we think in this week.
spk_0
Well as always, we would like to send our guards to our blind bitch for tag nests as
spk_0
well as our magical girls.
spk_0
We really appreciate.
spk_0
But moving on, we get to our yonderay waifus.
spk_0
And on that list we have, Rogue 91, Crystal Vigue, Totally Good, Gandalf the Barbarian,
spk_0
Sean admitted to fucking to the Digimon theme.
spk_0

spk_0

spk_0
Hey, what Sean's email again missed it before was.
spk_0
I'm not gonna rush you level.
spk_0
I'm not gonna.
spk_0
I call Sean my little sea turtle while he's choking on my plastic strap.
spk_0
Jesus Christ.
spk_0
So I was ready.
spk_0
Jake Dend will fire 56, Leonard 98.
spk_0
Like he starts the king of Bowie.
spk_0
God fuck it.
spk_0
No more trans, Sean.
spk_0
We want Chinese.
spk_0
Sean.
spk_0
What's your ice?
spk_0
I don't think that I don't understand the only possible rebel relevance.
spk_0
I just remember there was a guy on Twitter for a while where he would reply to people
spk_0
who post pictures of themselves.
spk_0
And he'd be like, cool, this is what you would look like if you were black or Chinese.
spk_0
And he would post pictures of them if they were black or Chinese.
spk_0
And then he got doxed.
spk_0
Right.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
And they were like, this is the guy who's behind this because people were getting angry
spk_0
at him.
spk_0
And then he was like, cool, this is what I would look like if I was black or Chinese,
spk_0
which is a power move.
spk_0
I know nothing more about the scenario, but that is one hell of a response.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
I look exceptionally, but man, like to teach to like get doxed and just be like, and I
spk_0
will do it to myself too.
spk_0
Like that's, that's why that's crazy.
spk_0
That is truly insane.
spk_0
I can't believe I made me count for this.

Sunch, whatever the fuck that is.
spk_0
I mean, do I need to do some suspicious Googling now or something?
spk_0
Here I'll do it because it's spelled pretty well.
spk_0
Let's see.
spk_0
Let's see.
spk_0
It is.

spk_0
Rem choice of the week.
spk_0
Who would be the better East A.K.I. protagonist to Jesus or Shakespeare?
spk_0
Um, Shakespeare, Jesus.
spk_0
Uh, he's just, he's kind of a blan bitch and then the
spk_0
Gospels, right?
spk_0
It's like, oh, look, he's been, he's been nice and then like randomly whips sometimes.
spk_0
Uh, and sometimes he's kind of like whips sometimes.
spk_0
Yeah, and sometimes sometimes in some of the Gospels he gets unnecessarily sassy, but
spk_0
it's not even.
spk_0
It's, it's more like it feels out of character.
spk_0
You're like, where the fuck did that come from, Jesus?
spk_0
Uh, but, but Shakespeare, I think, I think that could be interesting because then you
spk_0
could have him be writing plays about the weird East A.K.I. world.
spk_0
Um, and I think, I think there could be something there.
spk_0
Ross Palmer, Glenn Michael Dolan, Cassidy, and now we move on to the boy wizard, Tiershahn.
spk_0
What are they going to get this week?
spk_0
Uh, man, they're obviously going to get in a Olympic sport.
spk_0
All right.
spk_0
And on that list, we have Will the thrill?
spk_0
Uh, they can have artistic swimming.

spk_0
Failed hockey.
spk_0
Well, got you.
spk_0
Is everything you ever said you want in anime?
spk_0
This week are watching the freaking one and I or you're not.
spk_0
Flag football.
spk_0
I'd like to start a petition to replace the word Brad with good array.
spk_0
Uh, regular football.
spk_0

spk_0
he takes every day.
spk_0
Chris.
spk_0
Rowing.
spk_0
And now we move on to the inappropriate Joey Wheeler tier.
spk_0
Where?
spk_0
Sean as Joey Wheeler will, uh, will give you something that is is underrated.
spk_0
And I will tell you what crazy fucking art style that thing will be provided to you in.
spk_0
On that list, we have follow in and may have the context on blue sky.
spk_0
Happy birthday, Sean.
spk_0
You're now an uncle.
spk_0
We love you and the many years of happiness and comedy you brought all up and then it gets
spk_0
cut up as as it always, it always happens, you know.
spk_0
Yeah, but they still made sure to call me an uncle.
spk_0
Uh, yeah, you're the young God.
spk_0
I don't want to think about it.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
Uh, something underrated.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
Uh, I feel like something underrated is mask people wearing fun socks because like not
spk_0
enough people do it.
spk_0
And that's and I feel like that's, uh, that's an underrated thing.
spk_0
And, uh, uh, we're wearing fun socks.
spk_0
That's going to be given to you in the style of, uh, what, what, what's in
spk_0
the climate, claimation specifically?
spk_0
Oh God.
spk_0
Sticky sticky clay socks.
spk_0
Then we get, well, smack my ass and call me a princess.
spk_0
Seriously, Sean, please smack my ass.
spk_0
Uh, let's see.
spk_0
Uh, something that's underrated is definitely proper knife safety because dear God, the amount
spk_0
of times I've heard stories or seen things in the past fucking two weeks alone about people
spk_0
doing sketchy things with knives scares the shit out of me.
spk_0
And I think that qualifies as underrated guys, please use knives responsibly.
spk_0
And that's going to be delivered in a mix between, uh, classic comic style and live action.
spk_0
And let's, but not least we have, we didn't have tornadoes here until we started putting
spk_0
in those traffic circles because when people go round, round in circles, and then it cuts
spk_0
off.
spk_0
We don't get any fear of the full theory, but I think we got it.
spk_0
Yeah, I think we have, we got the vibes.
spk_0
Uh, uh, your underrated thing is, uh, Remington chase and that will be delivered to you in
spk_0
the style of analog horror.
spk_0
Fuck it.
spk_0
Oh, no, I don't want to see analog horror Remington.
spk_0
I'm coming.
spk_0
But you better not.
spk_0
You better stay in my weird niche YouTube recommendation list.
spk_0
I'll watch a theory of video breaking you down later.
spk_0
I don't want to watch that specifically.
spk_0
Thank you all for doing it.
spk_0
If you want to reach out for a common question feedback or recommendation, you can send an
spk_0
email over on to anime out of context at gmail.com.
spk_0
Once again, guys, thank you all so much for tuning in.
spk_0
We love and appreciate you very, very much.
spk_0
And as always, don't fuck your sister.
