Speaker 1: The Frans per Second Podcast.
Speaker 2: Welcome to another episode of the franch per Second Podcast.
Speaker 2: Today I have with me mister Kenneth b ing Olo
Speaker 2: and mister modest Media.
Speaker 3: That was good, man, not much, not much, And.
Speaker 2: As I can tell you about the title when you
Speaker 2: hit play, we are reviewing one piece. I know y'all
Speaker 2: are probably missing the other three that.
Speaker 3: Were on the last review.
Speaker 2: You know, we had Nay and Nick, you know they departed,
Speaker 2: but Mike said he wasn't doing this ship.
Speaker 3: He just said, straight up, he doing this ship.
Speaker 2: So we without Michael on this review, which is a
Speaker 2: kind of we kind of all knew that was gonna
Speaker 2: be what it was. It's unfortunate we couldn't get him
Speaker 2: to do it, but it's all good.
Speaker 4: It's unfortunate.
Speaker 5: The whole last view I went back. I can watch
Speaker 5: some of it. It was live too, I remember me
Speaker 5: and live. He was trolling.
Speaker 4: The the commenters and everything.
Speaker 2: But doing it in on that Yeah, it might not
Speaker 2: it might not be a bad thing. It might not
Speaker 2: be a completely bad thing. But with that being said, man,
Speaker 2: what's your overall view of season two? How were feeling
Speaker 2: about season two?
Speaker 4: Rot Man, I'm still I'm still here. For it, man,
Speaker 4: I like what this show is. Just like last time,
Speaker 4: like I said, I had to go back.
Speaker 5: I knew I liked it, but I wanted to kind
Speaker 5: of go back and see what part of my take was.
Speaker 4: I didn't watch the whole review, but I'm still I'm
Speaker 4: still with it, man.
Speaker 5: Just like last time, it took me a minute to
Speaker 5: like kind of settle into it, because you know, it
Speaker 5: is it is a bit different than what I'm used
Speaker 5: to watching, Like it's for like the hokiness and like
Speaker 5: the but they but I feel like they're very confident
Speaker 5: in what they want to do and what they want
Speaker 5: to create, and they stay true to that. And that's
Speaker 5: what I appreciated off the show. It's not something that
Speaker 5: I would typically watch like that, but I like what
Speaker 5: they do with this show. I like that they just
Speaker 5: they stay true to who they are, like like and
Speaker 5: and y'all felt the same way on this one. Now
Speaker 5: again they are like I have like my little gripes
Speaker 5: here and there or whatnot.
Speaker 4: But for the most part, I.
Speaker 5: Think it's just a continuation of of what they did
Speaker 5: last season that I that I messed with and like
Speaker 5: I said before as well, like this is this formula
Speaker 5: is something that that I like, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 5: from the Harry Potters of the world to the to
Speaker 5: the just just adventure stories of the world like this, this,
Speaker 5: this is fine, Like I can suspend belief in and
Speaker 5: when it comes to this type of stuff, what about
Speaker 5: you gain.
Speaker 1: I really enjoyed it. I really enjoyed it, you know.
Speaker 6: I think for me, it really started to take off
Speaker 6: around episode three or four exactly which one, but yeah, yeah,
Speaker 6: it really started to take off from there, and at
Speaker 6: that point I was I was kind of all in
Speaker 6: on the different adventures that they were taking us, so
Speaker 6: so yeah, you know, I messed with it, especially with
Speaker 6: all the new characters we got a chance to meet,
Speaker 6: and the different sort of powers that they have that
Speaker 6: they had so and the level of seriousness I think
Speaker 6: they displayed this season, especially as they progressed.
Speaker 1: It was.
Speaker 6: It was silly in spots, it wasn't as as silly
Speaker 6: and goofy as I remember, except when it kind of
Speaker 6: opened up.
Speaker 1: But now I messed with it, man.
Speaker 2: Where where as far as me, I hate this ship man, man,
Speaker 2: I hate this like h I guess you probably picked
Speaker 2: it up yesterday when we was talking about it, and
Speaker 2: I said, I had to watch all sixteen episodes.
Speaker 3: I didn't want season one. I picked up on it.
Speaker 5: I didn't know who sure, I know you were an
Speaker 5: animated guy, and I know it's gonna take a little
Speaker 5: bit more for you to like, you know, live actually,
Speaker 5: because you didn't really mess with what's the other one
Speaker 5: that was live actual?
Speaker 3: So Avatar Avatar?
Speaker 4: You didn't really rock with Avatar like that either, right,
Speaker 4: And see I even rocked with that a little bit.
Speaker 5: It made me want to go back in and watch
Speaker 5: the those are animated because that's American made, right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Enemy Car too.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but yeah, So, I mean I'm not surprised, you
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. I know it's gonna take I
Speaker 4: think so. I think Isaiah liked it, though.
Speaker 2: Hm, I may be a little disconnected because one Piece
Speaker 2: has been around since ninety seven and me getting to
Speaker 2: one Piece was like three or four years ago, like
Speaker 2: right when the first live action came out. I just
Speaker 2: started watching and Piece. So to some people when I
Speaker 2: when I listen to Nick watching watching it, maybe the
Speaker 2: nostalgia of watching one Piece from the beginning allows people
Speaker 2: to just be like, man, I'm just happy to see
Speaker 2: it in live action. For me, I'm just like this,
Speaker 2: this doesn't work in this medium for me at all.
Speaker 2: It's just it don't connect. And I thought maybe it's
Speaker 2: because it's like it's too goofy. But then there's certain
Speaker 2: things I do like that are goofy like this that
Speaker 2: don't bother me, or even more like comics like I
Speaker 2: can watch MCU stuff and like the Guardians of the Galaxy,
Speaker 2: it ain't as goofy as this.
Speaker 3: But you give what I say. This is something about this.
Speaker 2: It just I just can't get with it. Bro. I
Speaker 2: just it just it's not not meant for me. So yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm happy y'all do with joy, though like it does.
Speaker 2: It doesn't make me happy that a piece of the
Speaker 2: anime world people are embracing. And even true one piece
Speaker 2: fans aren't mad at this because they do stay true to.
Speaker 3: A lot a lot of things. But uh yeah, it's not.
Speaker 5: Remember the first season and like a lot of a
Speaker 5: lot of the fans of the shows like, oh, we
Speaker 5: got us one.
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. I saw a lot of
Speaker 4: that talk, and so I thought maybe they were staying true.
Speaker 4: And I remember, like, like I said, this made me
Speaker 4: want to.
Speaker 5: Go start watching the the anime and I and I.
Speaker 4: Think I got through the part of the first season
Speaker 4: and it was very true too. Like the anime, I
Speaker 4: was just like, oh, well, yeah, this this is what
Speaker 4: I watched a lot of action. So but no, I
Speaker 4: mean I rock with it. I'm not.
Speaker 5: I'm not as dedicated to it as someone like you
Speaker 5: or how Nay is and all that. It's definitely different
Speaker 5: from like what what like Nate watches. Right when it
Speaker 5: comes to the animes or whatever, It's not like this
Speaker 5: type of silly like it's a different type of it's
Speaker 5: it's like a different type of seriousness to the to
Speaker 5: the stuff I.
Speaker 4: See her watching sometime or whatever. So I know it's different.
Speaker 5: But for me, like I said, man like coming up
Speaker 5: watching like Harry Potters and.
Speaker 4: And Lords of the Rings and all that type of stuff.
Speaker 4: When these you know, you got like basically children like
Speaker 4: going on adventures, I'm with it, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: I grew up on the Goonies, you know what I mean,
Speaker 4: those were kids, you know what I'm saying, Like like
Speaker 4: that that that type of formula just works for me,
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: And once I get past. You know how silly this
Speaker 5: this one can get.
Speaker 4: Sometime I'm cool and I'm with kid Like it wasn't
Speaker 4: that even as silly as the first season. It was
Speaker 4: a lot more serious.
Speaker 3: I think.
Speaker 2: I think what I'm hearing when you talk about it
Speaker 2: is probably like the piece of your imagination. It taps
Speaker 2: into their creativity. And I think if I think, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna ask you a question as far as like your
Speaker 2: childhood when you watch things like did you watch more.
Speaker 3: With the cartoons that you watch?
Speaker 2: Or like, was it more watching uh more live action
Speaker 2: things like I'm trying to think of. I wouldn't know.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't have, Like what did your Saturday look like?
Speaker 2: If you said in front of the TV, what were
Speaker 2: you watching?
Speaker 1: Man?
Speaker 5: You got me thinking all the way back. But I
Speaker 5: watched everything, you know what I'm saying. Of Course I
Speaker 5: like the X Man, you know what I'm saying. I
Speaker 5: like that stuff. But shit, I like Animniacs, you know
Speaker 5: what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: Like I liked ah Man. What are some of my
Speaker 4: favorite shows?
Speaker 5: I even like some of the stuff that didn't even
Speaker 5: last long, Like I remember kidding Play had a cartoon,
Speaker 5: remember that can?
Speaker 4: And like James Brown was like they got their godfather
Speaker 4: something like that. I watched that stuff coming up.
Speaker 5: I watched Beetlejuice cartoons, like I watched just about anything.
Speaker 5: I mean, I went to school for animation, so my
Speaker 5: animation runs deep, you know what I mean, like when
Speaker 5: it comes to like cartoons and things.
Speaker 4: So yeah, to see this like just kind of like
Speaker 4: a live action, like, yeah, it was.
Speaker 5: It's fine for me, man, it's fine, But I totally
Speaker 5: get somebody that just won't.
Speaker 4: I don't. I wouldn't recommend it to just anyone. It's
Speaker 4: just me. I know.
Speaker 5: I can watch it, you know what I'm saying and
Speaker 5: appreciate what they're trying to execute, right, and then them.
Speaker 4: Staying true to it like I can't. I can't. I
Speaker 4: can't express that enough.
Speaker 5: Like they are absolutely staying true to what they want
Speaker 5: to do and I and I really really appreciate that.
Speaker 3: H Yeah, I don't like it. I don't like Harry Potter.
Speaker 5: So yeah, so yeah, if you don't like Harry Potter,
Speaker 5: yeah you're not gonna like something like this. Even though
Speaker 5: Harry Potter is different from this, it's not like it's
Speaker 5: it's a lot.
Speaker 4: More serious than this. But and I think what I
Speaker 4: what I said on now when I feel like the
Speaker 4: actors were better than Harry Potter too.
Speaker 5: Yes, so you know, as you can see those those
Speaker 5: actors are going along and done other stuff, you know,
Speaker 5: off of that show.
Speaker 2: All right, well, this review is gonna be a little different,
Speaker 2: y'all because it is a season long review and it
Speaker 2: I mean gonna beat by beat max just like some questions,
Speaker 2: and we're gonna we all gonna touch on the episodes.
Speaker 2: But before we do that, my first question before for
Speaker 2: both of y'all is what do you feel was that
Speaker 2: the the standout episode for y'all? What do you what
Speaker 2: do you feel like was an episode? Because I heard
Speaker 2: y'all say about three or four as when it got you,
Speaker 2: but it may not have been the best episode. What
Speaker 2: was the best episode of the season for y'all?
Speaker 4: Let me look at that.
Speaker 3: I can give you a little bit. Let's see. So
Speaker 3: uh actually.
Speaker 2: If you need to, we can just run through it
Speaker 2: and then you can stop me and say, yo that
Speaker 2: this this is my standout episode right here?
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, I could do that. Yeah, I just start
Speaker 4: talking about it. It gave me a.
Speaker 5: Refresher all right, but I'll still look while you're talking
Speaker 5: about it and then it might hit me too.
Speaker 2: All right, cool, Ken, do you have yours you want
Speaker 2: to do the way you're doing it?
Speaker 1: I do.
Speaker 6: I don't know what number it is though, but it's zero, man.
Speaker 6: This is a zero episode when he killed one hundred people.
Speaker 4: So yeah, that is a good episode.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that was That was the one episode he said,
Speaker 7: was this when they were let's see they miss the
Speaker 7: three and miss golden Golden week on that.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think with Zoro when he said he
Speaker 2: started killing people and when in that bar, yes, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: that was episode three. So yeah, that's when it's when
Speaker 2: it got y'all back.
Speaker 3: Okay, what about that? What about that episode made it
Speaker 3: to stand out one for y'all?
Speaker 4: What Ken just said, Zoro going through the hundred ones,
Speaker 4: and I find myself counting. I know you counted at
Speaker 4: some point he got like ninety something When he said
Speaker 4: ninety two, I was like, I knew it was ninety
Speaker 4: two because I counted. Was like.
Speaker 1: I got off about one.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I counted, and I was like, oh, he
Speaker 4: said ninety two. I was like, bet, yeah, I counted
Speaker 4: it right.
Speaker 5: But yeah, nah, man, that that was definitely a strong
Speaker 5: suit of that episode. I mean, yeah, that that was
Speaker 5: just a solid episode all around though, because that's when
Speaker 5: we also find out that the sad Lessons, well, the
Speaker 5: one assassin, she's like a she's not really an assassine.
Speaker 5: She's like a princess of another another Alabastas Alabastas. Yeah,
Speaker 5: so that was good man, that almost really good.
Speaker 2: And yeah because as far as like episode one, how
Speaker 2: it opens up and we're back into the world of
Speaker 2: One Piece, and like, like you said, right, it kind
Speaker 2: of takes a minute to get back into it if
Speaker 2: you're not familiar with it.
Speaker 3: It's like it's such a goofy.
Speaker 2: And so many many elements going on that it does
Speaker 2: take a time to sit in it if you not.
Speaker 2: For me, it was a little bit easier because you know,
Speaker 2: I watched season one on it right into season two,
Speaker 2: but I could understand someone just watching it after not
Speaker 2: seeing it for two years. It does take a minute
Speaker 2: to get back into this world. And they they open
Speaker 2: it up with some rand new characters with uh, some
Speaker 2: Assam from Barague Works and they go to the marine base.
Speaker 3: What did y'all think of that?
Speaker 2: How it introduced you back to the world, Did it
Speaker 2: did it was like off putting, Oh does it like
Speaker 2: all right? Did you still have a feeling of like, Okay,
Speaker 2: I see what I'm going back to. But it was
Speaker 2: like completely off putting because it was kind of serious,
Speaker 2: but it was goofy because they were killing people, but
Speaker 2: it was still in a goofy style.
Speaker 3: How did y'all feel with the opening?
Speaker 1: It was? It was off putting for me at first.
Speaker 6: Because I couldn't quite remember where we left off outside
Speaker 6: of them just being pirates, So you know, I was
Speaker 6: trying to figure out we are we in a different
Speaker 6: different storyline or what was going on? And because it
Speaker 6: opened with some action open with them going in there
Speaker 6: and doing all this sort of stuff, so I'm like, okay,
Speaker 6: what do I not remember? And you know, they're on
Speaker 6: the boat and they're doing their thing and being all
Speaker 6: silly and goofy.
Speaker 1: So it was a mixture of both.
Speaker 6: It was that the sort of seriousness of in the beginning,
Speaker 6: and then introducing us to these villains, which I like
Speaker 6: as they followed and chased them harassing for over half
Speaker 6: of the series, to them being back on the boat
Speaker 6: and Monkey Deslofi, you know, being his random goofy self
Speaker 6: and just looking at the characters and trying to really
Speaker 6: remember and get back into who the characters are, their roles,
Speaker 6: the personality types, et cetera, et cetera. So, yeah, that
Speaker 6: that first episode, you know, it's you know it was,
Speaker 6: it was it dragged for a little bit as it
Speaker 6: was kind of setting everything up for what was to come.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I definitely think it kind of dragged, But but
Speaker 4: I did like, like like him saying, like some of
Speaker 4: the stuff that came out of it, Like I feel
Speaker 4: like that one villain was very strong, like the one
Speaker 4: that did the hands with her name?
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, what's her?
Speaker 4: Damn? But she was. She was fucking like how the
Speaker 4: hell they gonna beat her?
Speaker 5: And so y'all already know, like you know, for the
Speaker 5: people that are you know, listening and watching, y'all know
Speaker 5: how I am about.
Speaker 4: About villains, Like the villain you know, your your movie
Speaker 4: or your show is just as strong as your villain
Speaker 4: or whatever. So like for her to be that strong,
Speaker 4: like I'm like, yo, like, how do how to heal?
Speaker 4: Do you beat her? I was like, Okay, cool, that's
Speaker 4: dope because I can't see it right now, you know
Speaker 4: what I'm saying, Like she she is she is super dope.
Speaker 5: The other ones were cool too, don't get me wrong,
Speaker 5: but her like just her confidence on how you know,
Speaker 5: it don't seem like she could be defeated.
Speaker 4: That that such what for? Okay, you know, they gotta
Speaker 4: do something to be able to beat her. It's gonna
Speaker 4: be epic, you know what I'm saying. It will have
Speaker 4: to be epic, you know. And then to find out
Speaker 4: that that's just the right hand to the main guy,
Speaker 4: it's like, okay, so mister zero got to be a badass,
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. So I think they said
Speaker 4: that part of nicely. So yeah, yeah, I did like
Speaker 4: that about episode.
Speaker 2: Did y'all enjoy the introductions of Smoking Tashigi, you know
Speaker 2: Smoke Captain Smoker, because he also is here in the
Speaker 2: in the first episode he's introduced. I did think when
Speaker 2: he got introduced it was cold because he does have
Speaker 2: that same bike in the anime, like the three motorcycle.
Speaker 2: I thought the way they introduced him that that was
Speaker 2: cold as hell. Like I did mess with that, but
Speaker 2: we still got some motivations and even him talking about
Speaker 2: how Lufy reminds him of Goldie Roger like all those things.
Speaker 2: How did y'all feel about me? These two characters?
Speaker 5: Same with him, like as someone that's trying to capture them.
Speaker 5: I'm like, Okay, he a badass too.
Speaker 4: So you got a villain that's strong, and you have
Speaker 4: have the authorities who are strong as well, you know
Speaker 4: what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: So it's like you got these two obstacles that are
Speaker 5: already strong. And so yeah, yeah, I was I liked
Speaker 5: his introduction. He came off like again, when I saw him,
Speaker 5: I was like, oh, yeah, that this is what this
Speaker 5: show is, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: Because he's kind of corny.
Speaker 5: Too, but he got a shirt all open and all that.
Speaker 5: But I'm like, well, this is what the show is,
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying. I can't come in here
Speaker 5: and criticize it for that because that's what it is,
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying. So and like I think, in.
Speaker 4: The back of my mind, I could just imagine it
Speaker 4: as an anime. So it's just like I'm forgiving on
Speaker 4: a lot of that stuff, you know.
Speaker 1: What I mean. Yeah, n he was dope. He was dope.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 6: They they let you know that he's a badass, you know,
Speaker 6: and with his powers, and I thought that that was good,
Speaker 6: you know, and they also I had like a flashback
Speaker 6: of the Mike, the Rogers guy you were talking about.
Speaker 1: That was also confusing to me.
Speaker 6: And when I started, I was like, man, I probably
Speaker 6: should have went back and rewatched the.
Speaker 1: First season.
Speaker 6: Because he was like, yeah, I got a son and
Speaker 6: this that, and I was like, Okay, well what is
Speaker 6: that about?
Speaker 1: What did I miss?
Speaker 6: And I don't think it really ever came back around
Speaker 6: until the end yeah, episode eight. So but you know,
Speaker 6: I also remember that the whole One Piece anime is
Speaker 6: over a thousand episodes, so it's a lot of like
Speaker 6: adventure and I'm guessing because I haven't watched it and
Speaker 6: unresolved things I would imagine.
Speaker 1: But but yeah, No, I liked him. I liked him.
Speaker 6: He was like he had spot appearances here and there
Speaker 6: from from for the rest of the season.
Speaker 1: But no, he was dope.
Speaker 5: Also surprised that he ate a double fruit too, so
Speaker 5: I don't think it hadn't been any Marines that had
Speaker 5: a double fruit or anything like that, so I thought
Speaker 5: that was interesting. So I'm not sure if they showed
Speaker 5: how he had how he did it, so yeah, so
Speaker 5: that that I think that's an interesting backstory to that,
Speaker 5: like how did he possess like, you know, a double
Speaker 5: food m h and what made him do it?
Speaker 4: You know, as a marine? So I thought that was interesting.
Speaker 2: And you I'm trying to I think when you asked
Speaker 2: about the person that you were talking about, you're talking
Speaker 2: about Alvida.
Speaker 1: That's the thing. I can't remember.
Speaker 3: My name is Alvida?
Speaker 4: Who you talking to me?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah, when I asked about who.
Speaker 3: You said you could remember her name. Oh, you talk him.
Speaker 3: It's all Sunday, never mind, never mine, all Sunday.
Speaker 2: I don't remember it came to me when came something Alvida,
Speaker 2: but you're talking it's all Sunday.
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, all Sunday, the one with the hands.
Speaker 2: And I was just thinking about her and Buggy because
Speaker 2: she wasn't in the episode that long.
Speaker 3: She was in that first scene. That's why I was like, Okay,
Speaker 3: he must be talking about her.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, cool, cool, cool, Yeah, Smoker, Smoker was
Speaker 2: staying out for me this season, like and I enjoyed
Speaker 2: Smoker during this art and in one piece, so like
Speaker 2: that did that? That was one thing that did help
Speaker 2: man the production.
Speaker 3: What do you what do you? How do you feel
Speaker 3: about the production through the entire show.
Speaker 2: Like for this to be an anime show and as
Speaker 2: goofy as it is, I mean it is Netflix. You
Speaker 2: know the budget is there. When you't aware with the
Speaker 2: budget that ain't that ain't gonna be the issue. But
Speaker 2: it's still execution. Do y'all feel like the production adds
Speaker 2: something to the to the show as well?
Speaker 4: Not necessarily for me, because this could be a lot grittier,
Speaker 4: and I think I was still like it. I probably
Speaker 4: would like it even.
Speaker 5: More if it wasn't so glitz and glamor and high
Speaker 5: production value, because yeah, yeah, because it's not about that
Speaker 5: for me, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: It's more so about the journey.
Speaker 5: And just seeing you know, day Lufy's determination right on
Speaker 5: wanting to be the King of the Pirates, like like
Speaker 5: it don't it's like you keep hitting him, but he
Speaker 5: keeps getting back up like Captain of America or some shit,
Speaker 5: Like you know what I'm saying, Like he's just he's
Speaker 5: just determined man, And like I don't know, I just
Speaker 5: think that's really really cool as a as a character.
Speaker 5: And then he's bringing along all of these other people,
Speaker 5: Like I said on the first review. It just reminds
Speaker 5: me of how I view life.
Speaker 4: He's just so like positive. Nothing could like just really
Speaker 4: put him in a mood like he it don't matter
Speaker 4: what obstacles in a way, he thinks he's going to prevail.
Speaker 4: He's that determined and that destined. Feel like he's that
Speaker 4: destined to be that person. So yeah, it's it's like like, yeah,
Speaker 4: he's like the heart of the show. And then like
Speaker 4: I like how they play too that, like what's the
Speaker 4: girl with the pink care? What's her name? Forgot her name? No? Me? Like,
Speaker 4: she's like, yo, when you see it, you know it.
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, So I like, I like that.
Speaker 3: What about you?
Speaker 6: Again, I didn't really think about the production all that
Speaker 6: much when I was watching it.
Speaker 1: Thinking about it now when they were on.
Speaker 6: I think that Island with the Giants, I think it
Speaker 6: definitely helped there with some of the things that they
Speaker 6: were doing with the characters. So so I think definitely
Speaker 6: investigate it in the way that they are makes sense
Speaker 6: for them, especially if the audience is high. They have
Speaker 6: to make sure that they retain their audience and keep
Speaker 6: people satisfied and not kind of shit the bed to
Speaker 6: keep their reputation solid, so you know, and I think
Speaker 6: it must be doing well for them. I haven't checked
Speaker 6: to see how it's performing since season two came up.
Speaker 4: I don't think this was performing like season one d
Speaker 4: because it wasn't even trending on my end, like it
Speaker 4: was even part of a top shows. So I was like,
Speaker 4: damn it, Mu's not be doing well. But I also
Speaker 4: didn't see a lot of a lot of marketing behind
Speaker 4: us either though like the first one. The first one,
Speaker 4: I feel like it was promoted very heavily, but this
Speaker 4: one I didn't. I didn't see as much, so I
Speaker 4: had to I had to put it in search I
Speaker 4: could even I didn't even it wasn't even in my
Speaker 4: list nowhere. I had to. I had to search for it.
Speaker 2: I think they're rested on their laurels or how big
Speaker 2: it was last time. They didn't promote it the way
Speaker 2: they should have, because even when we talked about it,
Speaker 2: like I had a couple of friends who mentioned it
Speaker 2: like in past, and they weren't like excited, they weren't
Speaker 2: going all out about it. I didn't see it anywhere.
Speaker 2: It was just me talking to people about it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: But as far as the production.
Speaker 3: Man, I think.
Speaker 2: I think that's the one thing that does draw me
Speaker 2: in to continue to watch, is to compare, like, how
Speaker 2: do y'all take these so so like eccentric characters and
Speaker 2: bring them into live action and still make it as
Speaker 2: accurate as possible, because it's not like they shine away
Speaker 2: from it like how X Men did when they first
Speaker 2: did the first movie, trying to like make it feel
Speaker 2: like some realism in real life. They're like, no, we
Speaker 2: gonna make y'll look as Goofy as y'all look in
Speaker 2: the anime and and the manga, like this is what
Speaker 2: y'all look like, and we're gonna do our best to
Speaker 2: execute it. And that's the that's the one thing that
Speaker 2: continues to make me want to watch and see how
Speaker 2: that how that is executed. I do disagree with you, Rod,
Speaker 2: as far as I think it being gritty. It may
Speaker 2: work for you, but I think because of the animal
Speaker 2: the anime is more colorful, and so this show is
Speaker 2: for me, it feels like it's not colorful enough to
Speaker 2: it feels like it doesn't like when I watch one piece,
Speaker 2: it's like a brightness to it, that feeling that you
Speaker 2: feel about Loofy. That's the that the colors do that
Speaker 2: for me with Loofy too, and it's like how bright
Speaker 2: this show looks like it's so it is.
Speaker 3: Like if you walk back like I couldn't.
Speaker 2: I know my nephew would fall in love with it
Speaker 2: if he saw it, only like I think, And I
Speaker 2: think that's what draws a lot of people into is that,
Speaker 2: especially if you grew up with it.
Speaker 3: It was one of those shows that.
Speaker 2: You just looked at and you were just amazed about
Speaker 2: all the different colors on the screen. How people do
Speaker 2: you'all talked about Cocomela at one point like it's just
Speaker 2: like amazing to see all these colors on the screen.
Speaker 2: And so I do I do think the production does
Speaker 2: add something to it for me.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I was gonna say with that with that, yeah,
Speaker 5: that's interesting. See I don't have that, you know what
Speaker 5: I'm saying.
Speaker 4: I don't. I don't have that background with the show
Speaker 4: like that, So that doesn't matter to me as much,
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: Like, but I understand like for you it does because
Speaker 5: it keeps like you said, it keeps it true to
Speaker 5: what you.
Speaker 4: What you your introduction to it. So yeah, for me,
Speaker 4: it don't really matter.
Speaker 2: So this is when watching One Piece, I'm for the
Speaker 2: y'all listening, I'm I just finished Scott Pia Scott Pia
Speaker 2: arc so I'm saying I got a long way to go.
Speaker 2: I'm just hitting like episodes two hundreds, Like I listen, y'all,
Speaker 2: it's a journey, bro, Like One Piece is a journey
Speaker 2: on top of all the other anime. So with Rod,
Speaker 2: I also understand why he don't watch the anime because
Speaker 2: I think something that draws me in with the with
Speaker 2: the anime compared to the live action is these episodes.
Speaker 2: They take time to really you invested in each character,
Speaker 2: like I feel like sometimes these episodes they do, I
Speaker 2: guess they do a decent enough job for me of
Speaker 2: giving these backstories and developing these characters. But in anime,
Speaker 2: I got multiple episodes like this. The first season that
Speaker 2: y'all watched, I think was forty four episodes or fifty
Speaker 2: episodes and then it So that's twenty minutes an episode. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's a whole lot more character development that I'm getting
Speaker 2: from each character as compared to watching this TV show
Speaker 2: where it's like, I don't think, y'all, you're not making
Speaker 2: me invest in these arcs when they're supposed to be heartfelt,
Speaker 2: and when they turn it don't. It don't draw me
Speaker 2: in the way I was with the anime, and I
Speaker 2: think that's something that kind of takes me out of
Speaker 2: it a little bit.
Speaker 4: But with that, but with that background and you knowing
Speaker 4: and already having it from watching the animes, how is
Speaker 4: that not applied to the live Actually?
Speaker 2: I guess for me, I'm there're two there's still two
Speaker 2: separate worlds. But I can only turn that off so
Speaker 2: much because I'm still connected to the show. So it's like,
Speaker 2: all right, I'm gonna allow this creator to show me.
Speaker 2: It's like listening to a cover an of a song.
Speaker 2: It's like, if you do a good job, I can
Speaker 2: kind of disconnect that cover the first time the original
Speaker 2: version that I heard from this song. If it's good enough,
Speaker 2: I'll be like, all right, that's a way to view it.
Speaker 2: That's a way to listen to it. That's the that's
Speaker 2: the way. But if you don't do it justice the
Speaker 2: way I think it should be done justice after the
Speaker 2: first one, then it's still gonna just be hard for
Speaker 2: me to connect to it. So that that's kind of
Speaker 2: it's a conundrum in a way, because it should be
Speaker 2: just easy to be I should be able to give
Speaker 2: them grace, same way you should be able to give
Speaker 2: an artist grace to be like, you ain't as great
Speaker 2: as that other artist who did it the first time,
Speaker 2: so I should give you more. But it's like, but
Speaker 2: you're trying to, so you also get critiqued for doing
Speaker 2: this this way. Interesting, So that's that's that's kind of
Speaker 2: how I look at.
Speaker 5: It, and I guess that's how Marvel Marvel fans are too.
Speaker 5: It's not like the comic books, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 5: d da da dah like.
Speaker 4: But me, I'll be looking at that ship like I
Speaker 4: don't care, Like you don't. It don't matter that much
Speaker 4: to me, you know what I'm saying, Shit looks dope.
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, Like, I don't. I don't
Speaker 4: care how close it is to these comic books. I don't.
Speaker 4: I don't really care.
Speaker 5: It's cool that y'all can pour from the stories or whatever,
Speaker 5: and and you know, of course.
Speaker 4: I want you all to stay true to it to
Speaker 4: a certain extent, but it doesn't need to be right
Speaker 4: on the money for me, And sometimes I don't need
Speaker 4: all of the backstory, like if you can, if you can,
Speaker 4: I'm losing my words today. If you can, fuck you.
Speaker 5: Know, condense, if you could condense it to where you know,
Speaker 5: I get the point, you know what I'm saying, Like
Speaker 5: that's all That's all I really need.
Speaker 2: And sometimes it works, like Infinity War works even though
Speaker 2: it's not and it's supposed to be based off Infinity
Speaker 2: the Gadlet and it's nowhere near what Thanos is doing
Speaker 2: and Infinite the Gauntlet, but it.
Speaker 3: Still works because it's still main Elemens.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like so yeah, it's like you get it. He
Speaker 2: still had bars exactly, And then we'll talk briefly about
Speaker 2: the next episode. Was just talks about La Boon in
Speaker 2: the Reverse Mountain.
Speaker 3: This is when.
Speaker 2: I was I became a fan of one Piece. This
Speaker 2: arc in the in the anime is when I became
Speaker 2: a fan of One Piece. Like I started, I was
Speaker 2: enjoying it. This maybe a fan. So I do appreciate
Speaker 2: this action scene when they first going up Reverse Mountain.
Speaker 2: That ship looked dope at hell. On me, that ship
Speaker 2: looked dope. I wish I was on that boat like that,
Speaker 2: that ship that was great to me. How did y'all
Speaker 2: feel about both the action scene and learning about La
Speaker 2: Boon and Crocus at at the lighthouse.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that that that was. That was that was pretty dope. Uh,
Speaker 6: him trying to figure out how to get through river
Speaker 6: or whatever that goes backwards, which is it was just
Speaker 6: kind of a wild sort of thing to kind of
Speaker 6: process and him stretching out like mister fantastic and doing
Speaker 6: all this stuff to just basically being heroic, being being
Speaker 6: we but monkey de loofy and uh and you know,
Speaker 6: it was it was it was like where are we
Speaker 6: going to go? Because we've just seen all these other
Speaker 6: villains and stuff that they introduced, and now we're out
Speaker 6: here in the water and we're basically in something like uh,
Speaker 6: Moby Dick or Pinocchio or whatever. It's just like these
Speaker 6: dudes got eaten by well and they're stuck and he
Speaker 6: got got to get his friends out. But man, the
Speaker 6: story they told about that well, and it was it
Speaker 6: was so good because I because I felt so bad
Speaker 6: for him, like constantly just banging your head up against
Speaker 6: the wall trying to get to them, and you don't
Speaker 6: even know why he's doing it. He looks like this
Speaker 6: this this crazy deranged beast that's terrorizing everything and it's
Speaker 6: not even the case like he just wants his friends
Speaker 6: and it was it was so sad, man, it was
Speaker 6: so sad, and the idea of instead of using violence
Speaker 6: to get your friends back, it was just we're gonna
Speaker 6: I'm gonna de escalate the situation in a completely different
Speaker 6: way and it worked. So that's one thing that I
Speaker 6: noticed that anime Maga maga, they do really really well
Speaker 6: when it comes to storytelling. It's insane when they when
Speaker 6: they knell it, they knel it.
Speaker 4: Mm hmm. No, that was really good. Like I'm agree,
Speaker 4: can't like that. It was touching, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 4: and for them, so.
Speaker 5: I guess when you're talking about production that that's a
Speaker 5: good production use or whatever, because you got the well
Speaker 5: like have exuding certain emotions. You got the well did
Speaker 5: like crying, like you know what I'm saying, that's wow,
Speaker 5: you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: So, and I like how you have like two things
Speaker 4: happening simultaneously. You got his crew inside the well doing
Speaker 4: going through what they're going through, and then you got
Speaker 4: Monkey day Loofy and the guy you know, telling their
Speaker 4: side of the story. So you got two things happening
Speaker 4: parallel or whatnot, and then just monkey day Loofy, just
Speaker 4: you know, having the idea like Okay, I think I
Speaker 4: know how to get my friends back, and like you said,
Speaker 4: just just basically you know, being that that bright spot
Speaker 4: for him again, just understanding that that's what he needed.
Speaker 4: And yeah, man, that ship, that ship, Yeah that shit
Speaker 4: was dope.
Speaker 5: Like like they said, Man, you look at on the
Speaker 5: on the surface, you look at this ship, it's like, man,
Speaker 5: this is Goofy ship. But when you really tap into
Speaker 5: the story, it's like, wait, this is actually a pretty
Speaker 5: decent story, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: And that's what I really liked that about it here.
Speaker 2: Hearing you talk like that always gives me hope that
Speaker 2: people who look at this year this cartoon will be like,
Speaker 2: oh bro, it can be. It's more than just like
Speaker 2: animation is like how you feel about Pixar, And that's
Speaker 2: how people really feel about ani anime. And I know
Speaker 2: I put in a group on time about why I
Speaker 2: just like the generation who grew up on anime compared
Speaker 2: to Disney cartoons are becoming different because as compared to
Speaker 2: always expecting a fairy tale, we become more resilient because
Speaker 2: you see stories like this where they teach you about
Speaker 2: you got to overcome an obstacle like you it's not
Speaker 2: somebody coming to save you, Like things aren't just going
Speaker 2: to work out. You have to figure out a way
Speaker 2: to overcome that with resilience and just keep going. It's
Speaker 2: a little bit different in the Eastern Eastern stories. Something
Speaker 2: that they did different and this is and it makes
Speaker 2: sense in the anime that house Crocus is actually living
Speaker 2: inside the whale. So they did a slight jab at
Speaker 2: the end of the episode. It's like, well, you could
Speaker 2: always live inside.
Speaker 3: The whale, Like that was a jab at the anime,
Speaker 3: like they were.
Speaker 2: Trying to it made sense to make it different here.
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's it was a nice little jab.
Speaker 3: I smiled at that. I was like, all right, I
Speaker 3: see y'all.
Speaker 2: Like, okay, I can't remember.
Speaker 3: I think it was a I can't.
Speaker 2: Remember who said it. It was someone of the crew had crew.
Speaker 2: I can't remember who said it, but they definitely I
Speaker 2: think it was Oopside.
Speaker 4: So who lived inside.
Speaker 2: The world Crocus the Old Man's Black House.
Speaker 4: Oh so the old man in the White House is
Speaker 4: actually the one that Okay.
Speaker 2: God, yeah he was outside the well, taking care of
Speaker 2: the will from the inside. So yeah, yeah, but it
Speaker 2: made sense to do it this way, all right. I
Speaker 2: ain't mad at this.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I wonder why they flipped that when you said
Speaker 5: they made sense to do it this way. While you
Speaker 5: feel that way.
Speaker 2: I think it just I think a part of it
Speaker 2: is still trying to make sure it's grounded enough. Like
Speaker 2: I don't think they're trying to go over the top.
Speaker 2: I think a lot of times, a lot of the
Speaker 2: people you see you can I think some people can
Speaker 2: excuse it because of the devil fruit. You look at
Speaker 2: it like, all right, this fruit. A lot of these
Speaker 2: things look weird. But living and you living inside a
Speaker 2: well rod like living a human being living inside the whale,
Speaker 2: and you need food, you need all these different things
Speaker 2: that you live inside the well.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I mean we've seen it though, like Kid mentioned earlier,
Speaker 4: But uh, was it Pinocchio?
Speaker 1: I don't think it was. Who was it was?
Speaker 4: It was one of those carts.
Speaker 1: It was somebody that got eating well.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah, but how did they how did they
Speaker 4: so how did they execute this in the in the
Speaker 4: in the anime.
Speaker 5: Then if you don't if you don't have anybody on
Speaker 5: the outside to do the singing, like, how did they
Speaker 5: resolve that.
Speaker 2: This ain't happened inside? I'm trying to remember exactly this
Speaker 2: ain't happened inside, like and and he let them out,
Speaker 2: so yeah, And I remember watching it and it kind
Speaker 2: of the action scene of the reverse Mountain brought me in.
Speaker 2: And then when they got to the living in the
Speaker 2: wh I was like, man.
Speaker 3: It's some dumb ship.
Speaker 6: I was thinking of what you Yeah.
Speaker 4: That's what I thought.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, but yeah cool.
Speaker 2: I'm glad y'all like that. And then y'all next The
Speaker 2: next episode is the one y'all said, y'all like the
Speaker 2: most when we get to Whiskey Pete, What were your
Speaker 2: thoughts on finally meeting Uh, well, we met Miss Wednesday
Speaker 2: and mister nine and then we get to Whiskey Pete
Speaker 2: where we ended up eating mister eight. We find out
Speaker 2: that they got a whole bunch of things.
Speaker 3: Going on and they were for Baroke Works.
Speaker 2: How did y'all feel about meeting mister eight and all
Speaker 2: these other characters of Baroke Works so far?
Speaker 4: Well, before we got to mister A, I did, like
Speaker 4: again just monkey plies like happiness, like you.
Speaker 5: Said, his gut can tell that mister missus Wednesday, you know,
Speaker 5: it's a good person.
Speaker 4: So I did. I do like that about him as well.
Speaker 4: And then mister eight was the one, the black dude
Speaker 4: with the considered mister eight.
Speaker 3: No, yeah he's black.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah, he had the white wig, right, that's
Speaker 4: what we've done. Yeah uh so uh yeah, I knew
Speaker 4: something was off with that.
Speaker 5: With that land, they were just too their friendly. I
Speaker 5: was like, man, some right, something right.
Speaker 4: But even that was good because it felt right when
Speaker 4: they kept feeding them and all that type of shit.
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh man, so some may right, some main't right,
Speaker 4: and it just leaves you like kind of on edge,
Speaker 4: just kind of waiting waiting for that moment to turn.
Speaker 5: And then it just kind of slowly started turning. You
Speaker 5: got the women that come to the bar and they
Speaker 5: bring them to the back, and you got some other
Speaker 5: people doing their things, and you.
Speaker 4: Just kind of see it unfolding, like yeah, man, I
Speaker 4: like this. I really liked this episode. But yeah, as
Speaker 4: far as mister eight, yeah, he was fine. I mean
Speaker 4: because he was played the flute or some ship something
Speaker 4: like that.
Speaker 9: Hair was guns was crazy, like, oh man, that ship
Speaker 9: was so dope.
Speaker 6: Because I did not see guns in this dude's wig
Speaker 6: broth insane ship and that was right after they just man,
Speaker 6: it was just they were just the action scene with
Speaker 6: Zero was is just so insane, all of it really,
Speaker 6: because all that stuff was running together. Because this is
Speaker 6: the one where uh Wednesday, the one in yellow and
Speaker 6: the black guy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they blew up somebody.
Speaker 6: That ship was Valentine, val Valentine, big bomb of something.
Speaker 1: He called that ship was dope at the end.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I forgot what he said, but he said that
Speaker 6: black as hell because he had a black sing he
Speaker 6: uh throughout the episode, but it wasn't. But he said
Speaker 6: something dope as hell because they got tired of his
Speaker 6: mess and.
Speaker 1: He just took that ship and just flicked and blew
Speaker 1: him up.
Speaker 6: But yeah, Zoro was that dude, man, And just the
Speaker 6: whole place full of just assassins is kind of crazy.
Speaker 1: So they did that really really really well.
Speaker 7: Mhm.
Speaker 6: And the and the loyalty that that guy had too
Speaker 6: to the princess, like he didn't even turn on her
Speaker 6: and he was basically defeated.
Speaker 1: He was done, and he know and he he you know,
Speaker 1: he held his own with Zoro for a little bit too.
Speaker 1: H he wanted out of the smoke.
Speaker 2: This this episode was was true to for him too,
Speaker 2: Like I remember.
Speaker 3: This and even when I.
Speaker 2: Found out that Miss Wednesday was a princess so VV
Speaker 2: and there's VV and she's trying to work from the
Speaker 2: inside to try to uh in baroque works like that.
Speaker 2: That all worked for me, and even the way they
Speaker 2: did it, He'll worked for me. So episode three, I
Speaker 2: see why Drew Yullen like you can start feeling the
Speaker 2: serious and then start to sit in with everything. Episode
Speaker 2: two made you feel things, but now you're starting to
Speaker 2: see there's there's some broader things going on and you
Speaker 2: can see different turns and twists happening.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we're starting to get action, and I think that's
Speaker 6: it started to pick up. Like an episode two, there
Speaker 6: was the story of the well, and there was action
Speaker 6: when they were inside fighting against the people that they
Speaker 6: met in there as well. But this is when it
Speaker 6: really started to pick up. There was a lot of
Speaker 6: action in this one.
Speaker 4: The other thing too that I didn't mention about one
Speaker 4: that's where Zoro got his swords right all the three Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 4: when he went to the shop or whatever, he was
Speaker 4: kind of like hassling them or whatever. That ship was
Speaker 4: really dope? What what was that three? Was that? This one?
Speaker 4: That that episode one? Yeah about episode so.
Speaker 5: Yeah one or two was a lot of set up,
Speaker 5: a lot of set up, a lot of reintroduction. When
Speaker 5: we get here, like Ken said, this is when we
Speaker 5: start getting that action real yet touching the action.
Speaker 3: Once again.
Speaker 2: I'm I'm new to the one piece fandom, but I
Speaker 2: remember listening to a couple of homies thinking they were like, man,
Speaker 2: they a're gonna talk do Logtown so episode one, people like,
Speaker 2: they don't need to do it, like but like you said,
Speaker 2: there's a lot of set up. So that's why they
Speaker 2: felt like they a're gonna do They're gonna do Lowtown.
Speaker 2: They gonna skip that in. But they surprised a lot
Speaker 2: of people by going to Logtown. That is that is
Speaker 2: one commentary I have I have heard, Oh they're surprised.
Speaker 3: That they actually did that.
Speaker 2: So yeah, that makes sense that you.
Speaker 3: See that set up.
Speaker 2: Next we end up at an episode four, We go
Speaker 2: to Little Garden where it is anything but little, which
Speaker 2: is like such a one piece thing to do, and
Speaker 2: we end up meetting the two Giant Warriors there. We
Speaker 2: also get them dueling in their backstory and just in
Speaker 2: a jungle that has freaking dinosaurs. How did y'all feel
Speaker 2: about Episode four?
Speaker 3: As we get this.
Speaker 2: Brand new and another brand new environment, we just keep
Speaker 2: on jumping from island to island, and that is one piece.
Speaker 3: Y'all like, And that is the best. That is one
Speaker 3: of the best things about it.
Speaker 2: You just the world just keeps expanding, the spanning, and
Speaker 2: the stories just draw you in deep like they go.
Speaker 3: They just find ways they hit you in the gut
Speaker 3: after you.
Speaker 2: I didn't believe people when they said, bro, it gets
Speaker 2: good and just gets get better on that. I was like, no, sure, no, no,
Speaker 2: nothing really does that.
Speaker 3: But One Piece really does do it.
Speaker 2: So how did y'all feel about Episode four?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Same man, Like it's like you introduced something totally different,
Speaker 4: like dinosaurs and giants, Like we just came off this
Speaker 4: one island and this is something that's like a totally
Speaker 4: new type of type of hurdle, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 4: that you got to get past or whatever. So I
Speaker 4: like how it made it seem like but I kind
Speaker 4: of I kind of felt like the giants were on
Speaker 4: like bad giants, But I like how they kind of
Speaker 4: made it seem like it was because again it's like, Okay,
Speaker 4: how the hell do you defeat these big ass giants
Speaker 4: or whatever?
Speaker 5: But but yeah, man, this is where where it kind
Speaker 5: of started getting kind of sinister. Actually, it's like, damn, man,
Speaker 5: this wax dude he kind of crazy, you know what
Speaker 5: I mean, like like you know, like the way he
Speaker 5: was trying to kill them or whatever. And so yeah, man, yeah,
Speaker 5: this this one was good too.
Speaker 4: Like like I said, man, it kept getting better, kept
Speaker 4: getting more interesting.
Speaker 6: Yeah, four and five, man, like to come off episode
Speaker 6: three and then to go on to four and five
Speaker 6: before being a setup for five was really really really good.
Speaker 6: And the the sort of character arc or development of
Speaker 6: who's whoserp whoso and what they did with him because
Speaker 6: he really ain't shit and they kind of let him
Speaker 6: have his moment and they showed him being like vulnerable
Speaker 6: and exposed and weak, and the giant kind of giving
Speaker 6: him some some game and some confidence, you know, to
Speaker 6: to to be that. And you know, I thought, like
Speaker 6: the advice he gave it was was really good as well.
Speaker 6: And then it just got having them split, you know,
Speaker 6: they went with one giant, the other one with the
Speaker 6: giant and they came together and they're being silly and goofying,
Speaker 6: this time both cheering for the giant that they were with.
Speaker 1: As they were fighting.
Speaker 6: Once again, you thought to h to a standstill, but
Speaker 6: it wasn't because these crazy motherfuckers put some shit in
Speaker 6: the al to get rid of the giant and they
Speaker 6: couldn't stop the guy from killing them. So when he's stamping,
Speaker 6: I was like, oh man, that's so messed up. And
Speaker 6: then they showed the blood on the ground. I was like,
Speaker 6: damn he he out of here. But yeah, but the
Speaker 6: introduced the introduction of.
Speaker 1: That wax guy.
Speaker 4: Yeah he looked.
Speaker 6: I was like, this is a silly, stupid ass power
Speaker 6: but my god, bro, he was nice.
Speaker 4: With Yeah man, I was just like, damn, bro, And
Speaker 4: like you said, and like we already got introduced to
Speaker 4: some badass characters like from that baroque works and then
Speaker 4: him to be like, oh y'all ain't experience ship.
Speaker 5: Wait you see this wax guy, this wax nigga, you
Speaker 5: know what I'm saying. And it's like he was nice,
Speaker 5: like can saying.
Speaker 4: He was nice. And again it's's like, Okay, how the
Speaker 4: hell do you beat this dude? Because he got wax
Speaker 4: that basically turns into steal what it sits, So and
Speaker 4: then you have fucking zero that could even chop through
Speaker 4: it with the knife that we thought was the ship.
Speaker 4: So it's just like god damn, like, how the hell
Speaker 4: do we do this? Like like so they keep introducing
Speaker 4: these these these obstacles that you just don't know how
Speaker 4: they're gonna overcome it. That is good ass storytelling. It's
Speaker 4: not predictable at all, Like it's constantly never predictable. You
Speaker 4: do not know what's gonna happen on one piece and
Speaker 4: that's what And that's another thing that I love about it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean they they took this guy and they
Speaker 6: completely took out the baddest fighter in the crew, which
Speaker 6: is Zoro to me, like he was completely nullified and
Speaker 6: Nami was nullified and monkey day loofy. They took him
Speaker 6: off the board. He got the paint on it, so
Speaker 6: he's a puppet somewhere. Yes, yes, she was insane. So
Speaker 6: he's gone. And they left with the weakest person there.
Speaker 6: And he used his weakness as a strength because they
Speaker 6: looked at him as weak. So they just kind of
Speaker 6: toy with their food and.
Speaker 4: They was like, I don't even know who you are.
Speaker 4: Like they like, we don't even have orders to kill you.
Speaker 4: God damn, they didn't even have orders to kill this
Speaker 4: nigga died like that, that's how they look at him. Man,
Speaker 4: that's so fucked up, bro. But but he is like
Speaker 4: he is the weakest link just.
Speaker 5: Just overall the show for me, you saw or whatever,
Speaker 5: because he was last time too on season one. I
Speaker 5: didn't like him then either, like many why they playing
Speaker 5: us with the black dude or whatever?
Speaker 4: But but but yeah, but.
Speaker 2: He did have bright spots and time goes on. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he got teams to get his bright bright spots of time.
Speaker 3: But I get an anime.
Speaker 2: I was like, man, this nigga always lying, like this
Speaker 2: nigga long, what the hell? Why why while we got
Speaker 2: in here, Like he was annoying at first, And I feel.
Speaker 4: Like and and and I know I noticed set up
Speaker 4: for something later. You know what I'm saying. It has
Speaker 4: to be because you can't just have this dude justin't
Speaker 4: that ain't ship? Like be this dude like.
Speaker 5: This whole time. So I thought we were gonna get
Speaker 5: a little bit more from him than in this season.
Speaker 4: But you know, it was just enough to give us
Speaker 4: hope that okay, it might be something else to this guy.
Speaker 1: It was.
Speaker 6: It was just enough from four or five to kind
Speaker 6: of to develop him, just enough for the ending of
Speaker 6: this when they have to do all the fighting. You know,
Speaker 6: now he's confident. He's still cowardly because you know even
Speaker 6: in the later seeing something popped up and he screamed
Speaker 6: like a girl.
Speaker 1: Whatever. But he's fighting now a little bit more.
Speaker 6: And and it all started from from here where he
Speaker 6: got his ass whoop, just so he can free old
Speaker 6: boy by using a miss Miss Valentine and the bomb
Speaker 6: guy to crack the wax. And and they, I'm not
Speaker 6: gonna lie, they got me when they were about to
Speaker 6: fight and they were upset about the giants or whatever.
Speaker 6: And you know, the wast guy running around, what's his
Speaker 6: name starts with something. It's a long ass name, guy,
Speaker 6: the wat guy, mister three, mister Okay, okay, that.
Speaker 4: Takes a lot to get used to.
Speaker 1: They he had a real name though, right his name here, Okay, okay.
Speaker 4: That be the only thing that that I just have
Speaker 4: to just be like, God, damn man, why why, like
Speaker 4: especially with the hair and ship, Like I'm like, what
Speaker 4: is the deal with that, like why are everybody hare
Speaker 4: got to be crazy? So so it.
Speaker 5: Does take me a minute to overlook that ship because
Speaker 5: I don't know if y'all saw, but in the town
Speaker 5: it was a dude.
Speaker 4: They had like a hangar as a head as a
Speaker 4: hair or some ship. I'm like, why did they do that?
Speaker 4: Like what's the point?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 6: When when when he when they got ready to fight
Speaker 6: and he was like no, and then he took off
Speaker 6: a ran. I was like, okay that and I was like,
Speaker 6: all right, yeah, that makes sense. He just he taught stuff.
Speaker 6: But then Monkey day Loofy chased his ass to the
Speaker 6: to the damn forest. Once he got free because of
Speaker 6: USAP and he was struggling, he created all of these
Speaker 6: different like figures of him and he just run around
Speaker 6: just punching all the ship, which was dope as fuck,
Speaker 6: and punching and kicking all of these wats figures and
Speaker 6: not knowing who he is. Kind of remind me of
Speaker 6: a mirror master, I think, where he would create these
Speaker 6: illusions of himself and cause a flash to run around
Speaker 6: and punch stuff and wear himself out.
Speaker 1: All that shit was was dope as hell.
Speaker 6: I'm like, damn, this motherfucker is a bad ass. Like
Speaker 6: he used his powers to his mat simare potential, like
Speaker 6: he had that ship down to a science, even to
Speaker 6: the end.
Speaker 1: And oh yeah. And then then Zero at the end
Speaker 1: took out the black guy.
Speaker 6: He took him my cold, just chopped him up like that,
Speaker 6: and there was a rap and then of course Three
Speaker 6: took out Valentine at the end.
Speaker 1: But is Sannji a trader? No?
Speaker 3: Why would you? Why would you think he's a trader?
Speaker 6: I think that I misunderstood the scene where they had
Speaker 6: the little weird creatures and Zero called on the phone.
Speaker 1: I thought that was Sodi to answer the phone.
Speaker 4: It was it was Sony. But he was just acting
Speaker 4: as the three.
Speaker 6: Okay, okay, so all right, all right, because I yeah,
Speaker 6: so damn I wish I would have because I rewinded.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, got it now. He was just acting as
Speaker 1: that makes sense.
Speaker 4: And that's why you said you don't wish you never
Speaker 4: answered his phone call.
Speaker 2: Mmm, because he was gonna kill mister Zero's gonna kill
Speaker 2: him regardless, because the job of not getting done.
Speaker 1: Damn. Yeah.
Speaker 6: No, four five was good, man, Four five was good.
Speaker 6: And then they started beefing again at the end.
Speaker 4: Yeah, by the end of it, yeah, yeah, yeah, no,
Speaker 4: it was Man four five was good. Like I said,
Speaker 4: got a lot more serious steaks. Seemed like they were hired. Well,
Speaker 4: stakes were.
Speaker 5: Hired because you didn't you really didn't know how they
Speaker 5: were going to get out of this ship. You got
Speaker 5: monkey Dave Loofy, you.
Speaker 4: Know, he under a trance. And then like I said,
Speaker 4: you got them in the wax. Yeah, yeah, that was
Speaker 4: that was crazy.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean if you think the stakes were hut
Speaker 2: there and then these final three episodes really take the
Speaker 2: stakes a little bit higher too, because they ended up
Speaker 2: getting back on the boat and in episode six they
Speaker 2: headed to the Drum.
Speaker 3: They headed to Drum.
Speaker 2: Island, where they don't really want to go to Drum
Speaker 2: Island because the VV has bad memories of the ruler
Speaker 2: of Drum Island.
Speaker 3: Wobble.
Speaker 2: And while they're there, before they get there, they realize
Speaker 2: they have to go there because Nami sick. And when
Speaker 2: they get there, they realize none of the doctors are there,
Speaker 2: and in order for them to get help the only
Speaker 2: doctor that they can see, they have to climb this
Speaker 2: massive mountain.
Speaker 3: In order to get to the top.
Speaker 2: Of the mountain, and in order for them to see
Speaker 2: a doctor. What did y'all think about meeting the two
Speaker 2: new characters in episode six, the new doctor and the
Speaker 2: creature that she had helping her.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was thinking grogu, like how people attached to
Speaker 4: like grou as a as a creature. I feel like
Speaker 4: this is the same type of situation. I don't know
Speaker 4: how it is, but I feel like this is exactly
Speaker 4: what that was.
Speaker 6: Damn chop man, I want, I want, I wanted one.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 6: I was like, I got it, I knew it.
Speaker 1: I knew, I do it, I do.
Speaker 4: That's how people looked at it.
Speaker 1: It's so well done. The voice, it's so.
Speaker 6: Small and cutty and that ain't even nowhere near that
Speaker 6: which we found out later.
Speaker 1: But nah, it was, it was, it was, it was.
Speaker 1: It was pretty cool, man.
Speaker 6: I think everything even leading up to that, like not
Speaker 6: me being sick, and I'm like, oh, man, I thought
Speaker 6: it was a remnants of something that happened on the
Speaker 6: island because we never saw her get a poked from
Speaker 6: what I remember, or bitten, so I didn't know what
Speaker 6: was going on with her and just.
Speaker 1: Man loofy climbing at island. Man, they did that.
Speaker 6: Ship so good and him, just really really showing his
Speaker 6: determination and will.
Speaker 1: To make for everybody to go up there.
Speaker 6: Like, dude failed, Sandy, I think failed, And he called
Speaker 6: him like he said her on the back and he
Speaker 6: went and and caught him with his teeth and threw
Speaker 6: him up.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Bro, this dude is a is a hero. Bro crazy.
Speaker 3: Investing in the anime.
Speaker 2: Bro the way he get excited about about loofy here,
Speaker 2: I just be wanting him to watch Animal because then
Speaker 2: he could watch like and everything else.
Speaker 3: He'd be like, damn, man, these things are so cool.
Speaker 4: No, yeah, I could give you that, but yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just yeah, I know you ain't got the time.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 1: It is an investment. It's an investment.
Speaker 4: It's an investment. Man. She watched that ship all the time,
Speaker 4: be like I can't do it. I can't do it.
Speaker 4: But nah, I'm with kidding man. Like I thought he
Speaker 4: was gonna I thought he was gonna use his stretch
Speaker 4: a little bit more going up that mountain.
Speaker 5: So I was surprised that he just was using his
Speaker 5: the strength and determination to climb that that mountain.
Speaker 4: So yeah, because it was like, okay, so he's just good.
Speaker 4: He's gonna get up there quick. Because he's gonna stretch up,
Speaker 4: stretch up, stretch up. But now he didn't do that.
Speaker 4: He didn't do that, So yeah, I wonder.
Speaker 6: If it was because of the cold, maybe having something
Speaker 6: to do with the elasticity possibly, or maybe sandy.
Speaker 1: You don't want to leave sod behind.
Speaker 4: Right, I thought he. I thought it was intentional. When
Speaker 4: he didn't put a coat on him, I was like, Okay,
Speaker 4: he must going to use the stretching power. That's why
Speaker 4: they didn't put a coat on him or whatever.
Speaker 5: But yeah, for him to just climb him there just
Speaker 5: without using it, I was just like, okay, cool, I
Speaker 5: stayed corrected.
Speaker 1: He was like, what are you.
Speaker 4: O? Man?
Speaker 1: I did like this?
Speaker 3: Uh And that that's true too.
Speaker 2: He was when he first met Chopper, like he didn't
Speaker 2: understand what the hell Chopper was and he just chasing
Speaker 2: around and he was scared of.
Speaker 3: Chop Plate like all that.
Speaker 2: I really appreciate them doing that, and doctor kier how
Speaker 2: a lot of this.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 2: Again, I give them problems for doing this, staying the
Speaker 2: true to the NME as possible, and something in the
Speaker 2: in the anime that's a running joke that's probably gonna
Speaker 2: end up here that he's a rain there. But you
Speaker 2: know how they do rocket and they call him everything,
Speaker 2: but like understand here raccoon, He's like, I'm not co
Speaker 2: That's what they do. The Chopper they call him like
Speaker 2: a possum and everything else. Right, That's that's how that's
Speaker 2: gonna be the running joke moving forward. So with y'all
Speaker 2: attachment to Chopper here, I thought it was cute here,
Speaker 2: the next episode gives us a little bit more insight
Speaker 2: about like why Chopper is there and what makes Chopper
Speaker 2: who he is, and you learn about his tragic backstory.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna mess up doctor Harrolok's name. I'm pretty butcher
Speaker 2: butchering it. But how did y'all how did this story resonate?
Speaker 1: Y'all?
Speaker 3: Did it not connect learning about.
Speaker 2: Chopter Chopper in the doctor's backstory and basically everything we
Speaker 2: learn to why he's with doctor Kuerhart.
Speaker 1: Now, man, I had no idea what they were about
Speaker 1: to do to me, Jay Bruh.
Speaker 6: The storytelling that they did with this, oh my, and
Speaker 6: the acting, the voice acting was just peak, as the
Speaker 6: kids like to say, bro it was I was.
Speaker 1: I was so caught up in it.
Speaker 6: And it started off with like how ki Eko Hawvey said,
Speaker 6: set it up. She's like, oh yeah, that's a terrible
Speaker 6: ass fucking doctor. He got with the worst doctor ever.
Speaker 6: And it may just seem like he was just this
Speaker 6: big light loser, and to a certain degree he was
Speaker 6: until he wasn't at the end when he sacrificed himself
Speaker 6: with that story about how man is forgotten, which is
Speaker 6: a hell of a.
Speaker 1: Like talk about a monologue.
Speaker 6: That shit's crazy, Like nobody ever said that outside of
Speaker 6: of here. The fact that I've never heard that was
Speaker 6: was it was I found fascinating. But yeah, him just
Speaker 6: being wounded, him being cared for developing this friendship, this bond.
Speaker 6: Talking about he the first fight, he said, Oh yeah,
Speaker 6: that makes sense because you never had a partner like
Speaker 6: these just emotional like small notes that by the time
Speaker 6: they get to the end, they make up this core
Speaker 6: and they it becomes very harmonic.
Speaker 1: Where you get to the end and.
Speaker 6: You see like you hear that cough, you were like,
Speaker 6: oh shit, and then he's walking back.
Speaker 1: He was like, oh yeah, it's time for you to
Speaker 1: get about I've seen this.
Speaker 6: We've all seen this in movies and shows over and
Speaker 6: over again where they were like whether person gets sick
Speaker 6: or definitely ill, and they try to force the person
Speaker 6: to go and and they were like you got to
Speaker 6: get out of here, and they curse him out and
Speaker 6: make him leave. The pain in Chopper's voice, the crying.
Speaker 1: Man, I was like, oh my god, I need to
Speaker 1: pick up up it. I hold it Chopper. Bro oh man.
Speaker 1: It was so so fucking good.
Speaker 6: And then for him to come back and see through
Speaker 6: the people of everything that was going on to try
Speaker 6: to rescue him and then end up k bruh, bruh.
Speaker 6: Like this anime, man, The storytelling and anime is insane.
Speaker 6: It's insane, and I get it. This is probably one
Speaker 6: of the I was This is by far. I liked
Speaker 6: three with the action, but in terms of like the
Speaker 6: best episode, this probably has to be the best episode
Speaker 6: now that I think about it. It's just it's incredible.
Speaker 4: Bro, No, they nailed this one.
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is probably argument for the best episode if
Speaker 5: I had, if I had to really really rank them,
Speaker 5: because at first I didn't know how I was gonna
Speaker 5: feel about a whole story about just them or whatever,
Speaker 5: because I wanted to stay with the crew.
Speaker 4: But for them to for this to still be that
Speaker 4: good and it has nothing to do with nothing we've
Speaker 4: seen so far. It's just a story about them, and
Speaker 4: it's just like and they and they nail it that way.
Speaker 4: And then and then the part I don't know if
Speaker 4: you mentioned this part camp, but when he brought back
Speaker 4: the fucking mushroom for him, Oh my.
Speaker 5: God, like damn man, like like he come back all
Speaker 5: bloody and ship because he went Valley of Death like man, yeah,
Speaker 5: like they they they killed that, like they kill.
Speaker 4: That, Jayalen, Man, you got it, man, come on, man, like,
Speaker 4: like I know you.
Speaker 1: We don't. We don't even know these two guys, bro
Speaker 1: the Doctor.
Speaker 4: We just met them. And how did they It's like
Speaker 4: we saw a whole movie. It's like it's like we
Speaker 4: were able to see like like a little short film
Speaker 4: or whatever about the story.
Speaker 5: And so I was like, and then I said, he
Speaker 5: gonna end up joining the crew because they ain't spend
Speaker 5: that much time on it for nothing, you know what
Speaker 5: I'm saying.
Speaker 4: So, nah, man, it was really good man, it was stellar.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 6: And I didn't think he was going to join the
Speaker 6: crew until it happened, and I was hoping he did
Speaker 6: because I thought he was dope. And then uh just
Speaker 6: that monologue at the end to cause him to portray Dalton,
Speaker 6: I think, to portray the guard and when it when
Speaker 6: you see the different versions of Chopper, when he turned
Speaker 6: into the rein deer when he was running up there,
Speaker 6: and then he turned into basically the Obama the snowman.
Speaker 6: They were talking about this whole time, but I think
Speaker 6: and he was like, bro, if you can't beat me,
Speaker 6: like what the hell you think you're gonna do when
Speaker 6: you get up in there, like come on that and
Speaker 6: he wised up and Johnson left and uh, it was man,
Speaker 6: it was, it was crazy.
Speaker 1: It was it was. It was so well done. Like man, bruh.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I could watch that one again,
Speaker 1: like he did it twice.
Speaker 6: The first time he kicked him out and then the
Speaker 6: second time when he thought he when he found out
Speaker 6: he killed him with the mushroom and then just the
Speaker 6: yelling and the owl and no, no.
Speaker 1: I was, oh my god, turn it off.
Speaker 4: And then the doctor to realize like that, you know
Speaker 4: what I'm saying, He knew, he knew that that that
Speaker 4: that that mushroom was daily, but he just made him
Speaker 4: believe that you know what I'm saying, that it wasn't like, man, yeah,
Speaker 4: they killed this.
Speaker 6: Man, and then he did take advantage of the top
Speaker 6: of about Yeah, I'm gonna just take a couple of
Speaker 6: these grenades because I might have to fight my way
Speaker 6: in to.
Speaker 4: Say right right right, don even makes sense.
Speaker 1: He was he was he was bombing the funk out
Speaker 1: of that ball.
Speaker 4: B was a suicide mission, yea, But he knew, he
Speaker 4: knew he couldn't tell that.
Speaker 1: Yeah. God, but yeah, absolute cinema, as they like to say.
Speaker 8: Yeah, okay, okay, okay, I guess.
Speaker 2: I guess for me, like I understand how great the
Speaker 2: storytelling it is, like because I already know it, so
Speaker 2: I know how great it is, and I'm not objectively
Speaker 2: I can look at it and be like this is
Speaker 2: still acceptable. It's just it's because I had to live
Speaker 2: with it so long. It She's like, all right, an
Speaker 2: hour doesn't do it justice to me. Maybe that maybe
Speaker 2: that's something that is disconnecting from me. Again, I don't
Speaker 2: have the complete answers and why is disconnecting from me?
Speaker 2: I'll be I'll be completely transparent with y'all. I don't
Speaker 2: know why is disconnecting for me, but it just doesn't
Speaker 2: completely go there for me, I can look at it
Speaker 2: and be like, all right, it ain't bad where I
Speaker 2: would tell nobody, don't even waste your time to watch that.
Speaker 3: It's just like I hate it because.
Speaker 4: I just want more. I just I don't know, man, I.
Speaker 2: Don't know, man, It's just it's another sound like a
Speaker 2: hypocrite when I say this, But it's just just something.
Speaker 3: That's not there.
Speaker 4: It's just a matter of fact. I know Rod gets
Speaker 4: what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: The sounds of Rod does this. He's like, it's just
Speaker 2: not there. Just doesn't even get there. I wish I
Speaker 2: could explain it. I don't have the words to describe.
Speaker 4: It right now.
Speaker 6: So you have a different relationship to it than you
Speaker 6: know than the rest of us because you've read it,
Speaker 6: so you probably I don't know if you watch the
Speaker 6: show or anything, so your relationship is different.
Speaker 4: Yea.
Speaker 6: So it makes sense to me. I'm I'm not even
Speaker 6: mad at it. It makes sense to me. I love to
Speaker 6: hear that and try to, you know, kind of discern
Speaker 6: like what are the things that cause this sort of
Speaker 6: this connection even if you don't know what it is,
Speaker 6: eventually you may figure it out.
Speaker 1: But no, it makes sense.
Speaker 2: And so yeah, he close out with with episode eight uh,
Speaker 2: where we basically we fight for the island man like
Speaker 2: Loofy fights the Tyrant and uh Chopper and you know, well,
Speaker 2: I won't go exactly when we go to the end,
Speaker 2: Chopper ends up becoming a part of the crew.
Speaker 3: How did this season finale work for y'all?
Speaker 4: Coming off an episode that took so much emotional we
Speaker 4: had everything working. How did the episode Chopper? And it
Speaker 4: was what's his name with the he only uses his
Speaker 4: feet or whatever, san Gie. You know, they had they
Speaker 4: had their fight off, you had you know, I think
Speaker 4: uh uh mechanical place, dude, walk ball wopple. I think
Speaker 4: his I think his payoff was good with his double
Speaker 4: fruit powers. So yeah, that that was good, Like you know,
Speaker 4: like I said, Man, just monkey day.
Speaker 5: Lupy's like wheel power and determination to to win man.
Speaker 4: Was just amazing.
Speaker 5: And then then and then his scene with the flag
Speaker 5: and what the bones represent and how he was willing
Speaker 5: to protect that or whatever and and for and for
Speaker 5: Chomper to see that, because that means that meant a
Speaker 5: lot to him, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: When he was like, don't touch that, don't touch that flag.
Speaker 5: So that that that brings it full circle, like, look,
Speaker 5: I respect this flag, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: I touched it because I respect it. And then for
Speaker 4: him to see just how much he he he respects
Speaker 4: it by getting him putting himself in the way of
Speaker 4: it from being damaged. Man, that ship was. That ship
Speaker 4: was strong. That ship, that ship was like damn man, Like,
Speaker 4: this is motherfucker real nigga true to this nigga he said,
Speaker 4: I'm not man, this nigga is true to this pirate ship. Bro,
Speaker 4: Like like for real, man, He's like that this ship.
Speaker 5: Means a lot to me, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: So he die for this ship. But like it's just
Speaker 5: so crazy, bro, It's so crazy.
Speaker 4: Like I said, like witness that you know, I should
Speaker 4: have that that nice something else in him, you know
Speaker 4: what I mean? You know? But but no, man, Yeah,
Speaker 4: all of this, all of this was good to see
Speaker 4: them team back up. And then yeah, man, they closed
Speaker 4: it out just far. For me, I did want to
Speaker 4: see more of mister Zero, but I understand you gotta
Speaker 4: be patient with that part. But but yeah, it did.
Speaker 5: It did just make me want to, you know, see
Speaker 5: more of these characters and and on Sunday, the Sunday check.
Speaker 4: I want to see what she does. So yeah, man,
Speaker 4: this this was good man.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, how he ate the the village people there,
Speaker 5: the soldiers there, and they came.
Speaker 4: Out like mutated or whatever.
Speaker 5: That ship was crazy, Like, yeah, this ship was really good.
Speaker 4: Mm hmm.
Speaker 6: Insurmountable odds overcoming them, I think, you know, because they
Speaker 6: the soldiers were tough. They couldn't beat the soldiers. They
Speaker 6: wouldn't die every time they think they would kill him,
Speaker 6: you know, even though even zero or he couldn't do it.
Speaker 6: None of them would win.
Speaker 1: Dalton.
Speaker 6: Dalton was all jacked up. He had arrows in him.
Speaker 4: M hmm.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he was out there fighting, so they were really
Speaker 6: not winning this fight. It was pretty ugly. His foot
Speaker 6: got stuck on the ground. That's the thing I found.
Speaker 6: One of the things I do like about uh anime
Speaker 6: is is how creative, weird, odd, whatever word you want
Speaker 6: to use.
Speaker 1: They are with their powers.
Speaker 6: As a person growing up reading comic books, I've seen
Speaker 6: a lot of different powers and costumes and stuff in
Speaker 6: my day. I don't think I've ever seen any of
Speaker 6: the ship that that that they do in anime. Bro
Speaker 6: like the ship that they have in my hero academia
Speaker 6: is crazy and then in this show just how creative
Speaker 6: they are. It's insane. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it really makes
Speaker 6: me think like they're like here in America with think
Speaker 6: so limiting.
Speaker 1: But anyway, but yeah, I thought all of this was
Speaker 1: was good. It was a good fight. But Monkey Delufe
Speaker 1: it's so freaking unseerious. Bro, Like wappoo shows up.
Speaker 6: He got he's ready to go to war and this
Speaker 6: motherfucker over here stretching and Ship.
Speaker 1: It's like, what are you doing? And he said, Oh,
Speaker 1: I'm just wondering because I know we're gonna have to fight,
Speaker 1: so I'm like, bro, what the hell is?
Speaker 6: This is the even to the Blackpool got so annoyed,
Speaker 6: like why would you take this series?
Speaker 1: He was so mad?
Speaker 6: Yep, yeah, and Ship think about all the way to
Speaker 6: the first episode where his neck about to get chopped
Speaker 6: off and he's sitting there fucking smiling. The only time
Speaker 6: you see Monkey de Loufe pissed off is when they
Speaker 6: sunk with his hat. Whenever they messed with his hat, bro,
Speaker 6: he turned into a different dude.
Speaker 2: Brof the hat he got. Yeah, Bro, respect the hat man,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but now all this was Yeah, just like Rod,
Speaker 6: it was.
Speaker 1: It was very satisfactory. Man.
Speaker 6: I think they did it well, even the wine down
Speaker 6: to how the end of the episode we're asking Chopper
Speaker 6: to go, Chopper saying now where I'm at, to him
Speaker 6: agreeing to go, to getting cussed out in a very
Speaker 6: similar fashion like his first mentor did to her, showing
Speaker 6: that she knew it by having the little packet ready
Speaker 6: for him and stuff like that, so he got a
Speaker 6: chance to show that, you know, she really didn't mean
Speaker 6: it even though he knew it, because she was an
Speaker 6: asshole the whole time, which I liked her. I liked
Speaker 6: that she just really didn't give a fuck. Yeah until
Speaker 6: him going and just being part of the crew, and
Speaker 6: I didn't get the whole mister Zero thing. I didn't
Speaker 6: know if that was supposed to be this big reveal
Speaker 6: at the end, and Miss Sunday I think just kind
Speaker 6: of been lurking in the background. We saw her kind
Speaker 6: of talking to the Princess a couple of times, so
Speaker 6: we'll see what happens with that in season three.
Speaker 1: But overall, man.
Speaker 6: By the time I got to episode eight, I was like,
Speaker 6: I'm in it.
Speaker 1: I'm in it, and I think it. It did well.
Speaker 6: I liked the tone show too. It was just enough.
Speaker 6: It was just enough to where it was. It was
Speaker 6: enough to be serious but still goofy.
Speaker 1: But I'm with it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean I'm happy y'all to do it.
Speaker 3: I mean, y'all didn't mention this.
Speaker 2: I think the one part I did really that they
Speaker 2: gave me the feel similar to when I watched the
Speaker 2: anime was the fireworks at the end with the cherry blossoms,
Speaker 2: like they put it in there and as a celebration
Speaker 2: when Chopper's leaving and he's looking back at it, like, yeah,
Speaker 2: that that hit. It felt the same way the first
Speaker 2: time I saw it in the animate like that that
Speaker 2: was the one feeling. And again, man, one piece, just
Speaker 2: like how y'all, how y'all are feeling is how I
Speaker 2: am now watching the show too. It's just like it
Speaker 2: just keeps like putting the antil like just lifting it up,
Speaker 2: and you be like, you can't make me feel nothing
Speaker 2: else better than what you just made me feel, Like,
Speaker 2: you can't make me feeling. So I am excited for
Speaker 2: y'all to see in season three too, because with mister
Speaker 2: Zero and a whole bunch of other things with miss
Speaker 2: All Sunday all that a lot.
Speaker 3: Of things start to start. You start to see things.
Speaker 2: Formulate, like yeah, and I'm listen, I'm telling y'all this,
Speaker 2: and I'm only twenty percent done with the animes that
Speaker 2: have been released, Like I'm not even as deep as
Speaker 2: other people are into one piece. So I enjoyed hearing
Speaker 2: y'all talk about this and the excitement.
Speaker 3: It make me excited. So made me see the three.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna feel a whole lot better watching it, you
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. I'm sorry for y'all listening because
Speaker 2: I had different questions that I did want to ask,
Speaker 2: but I also realized that going through the show, it's
Speaker 2: a show compared to a movie, so it takes. It's
Speaker 2: not as easy to bounce around with questions the way
Speaker 2: I wanted to.
Speaker 3: But we kind of hit everything that I kind of
Speaker 3: wanted to touch on.
Speaker 4: Man, over excited.
Speaker 3: How excited are y'all for season three?
Speaker 6: I did see that that they said that there was
Speaker 6: gonna be another tonal shit for season three, so I'm like, dangn,
Speaker 6: what else are they gonna do?
Speaker 1: Bro?
Speaker 6: So uh so, yeah, I mean I'm excited, I think too,
Speaker 6: and I'll go see what the reactions have been to
Speaker 6: this one. But but I think it's already renewed, so
Speaker 6: I'm excited to see where they go from it. It's
Speaker 6: it's something that I didn't think that I would enjoy,
Speaker 6: but you know, I settled into it and I accepted it
Speaker 6: for what it was, and I'm just kind of.
Speaker 1: Going along for the ride.
Speaker 6: And not that I've been watching more and I mean
Speaker 6: becoming more and more familiar with the world, the culture
Speaker 6: and everything like that, Like I'm starting to kind of
Speaker 6: get it understanding a little bit more and even to
Speaker 6: the point now after watching this, like the only the
Speaker 6: only deterrence to reading or watching is a thousand episodes.
Speaker 1: But I'm I'm interested.
Speaker 6: I'm interested in watching the series now because you're saying that, man,
Speaker 6: there's stuff that I mean, they're condensing it down to this.
Speaker 6: I can only imagine what I have not seen, you know,
Speaker 6: and I'm kind of curious to now, like how the
Speaker 6: hell are you gonna wrap this up?
Speaker 4: And the show when I think about just I don't
Speaker 4: know whether they are out there and then and it's
Speaker 4: actually still going I'm like, well, damn, Like I don't
Speaker 4: want to get that damn if'ested Like you know what
Speaker 4: I'm saying, Like, it's just like, you know, like because
Speaker 4: I don't want to I don't want to not like.
Speaker 5: The show, you know what I'm saying, Like like I
Speaker 5: don't want y'all to stick around for too long.
Speaker 4: And then now I don't even like the show. But
Speaker 4: like I said, man, I mean, Harry Potter was a
Speaker 4: was a huge success and you're talking about but see
Speaker 4: the difference.
Speaker 5: With that though, because it was movies, it wouldn't even
Speaker 5: like show. So we only had like with eight movies.
Speaker 5: So it's just like it's a lot of room for ever,
Speaker 5: you leave a lot room for error, which when you
Speaker 5: keep going with these and so that's that's the only
Speaker 5: thing I'm afraid of.
Speaker 4: How long can they keep this up? So I do
Speaker 4: think about that, But right now, I like the ride
Speaker 4: right now, man, And they seem to be doing a
Speaker 4: good job with the introduction of the new characters and
Speaker 4: new new circumstances and stuff. So I think they could
Speaker 4: probably they could probably.
Speaker 5: Hold like like you said, can because they write so
Speaker 5: well and they're so good at storytelling, they might.
Speaker 4: Be able to keep it up. They might be able
Speaker 4: to keep it up, So we'll see, we'll see.
Speaker 5: But you know, live actually can be a lot different
Speaker 5: from from from animation and stuff, you know, so.
Speaker 4: Mm hm m hmm.
Speaker 2: But I think they're doing that job because like for me,
Speaker 2: I'm I'm an anime fan, like like I'm even me
Speaker 2: watching yeah is more so it's like how we talked
Speaker 2: about with mic and Star Wars. They got you, like
Speaker 2: they ain't worrying about you.
Speaker 3: They're trying to get the person.
Speaker 2: Who who doesn't isn't going to like it in this medium,
Speaker 2: and y'all are enjoying it in this medium. And I
Speaker 2: guess a similar to a similar circumstance would be Game
Speaker 2: of Thrones was great when they had something just to
Speaker 2: adapt from, and these writers here have something to adapt from,
Speaker 2: so they should be fine. When Game of Thrones started
Speaker 2: to go off the rails is when they started running
Speaker 2: out of material, And so with them, they aren't because
Speaker 2: it's in its final final SAIDA. Now, so by the
Speaker 2: time they get close to that, it'll probably be five
Speaker 2: five years done of ten years. There could be ten
Speaker 2: years at this point. The way they're rolling this out,
Speaker 2: they're banking on this to be their next Stranger Things honestly,
Speaker 2: they need something to be that next thing, and one
Speaker 2: piece may end up being that if people keep if
Speaker 2: people talk about season two a little bit more, it
Speaker 2: has potential to be that. Because y'all aren't going to
Speaker 2: invest in going to watch the anime. Y'all are fine
Speaker 2: with having eight episodes of this world and it's good
Speaker 2: enough to be fans of it. If you see a
Speaker 2: shirt with one piece on it from the from thet,
Speaker 2: you cop that shirt like, you'll buy, Like that's what
Speaker 2: they're banking on, and so I think they're executing it
Speaker 2: me my opinion, no matter that much. It's just I'm
Speaker 2: just giving y'all more context of different things, so if
Speaker 2: something else happens out, y'all can be like, yo, just
Speaker 2: disconnect to that. And if you really want to know,
Speaker 2: I can tell you let me actually next to that,
Speaker 2: but you just enjoyed and that.
Speaker 1: Which I like that.
Speaker 4: And where are they in the anime? If you had
Speaker 4: to guess, we'll not guess. But how where are they
Speaker 4: enforced episodes in the anime?
Speaker 3: I think they're right.
Speaker 4: They've been able to tell right up in there, one
Speaker 4: hundred episodes fifteen interesting, interesting, interesting, So they able to
Speaker 4: do that successfully. Yeah, they might be able to do
Speaker 4: this King, so they able to tell one hundred episodes sixteen. Yeah,
Speaker 4: they might be on the song.
Speaker 3: Mm hmmm.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah they might. They might have it so they don't.
Speaker 3: Don't doubt him too much.
Speaker 2: So but I'm happy.
Speaker 3: Y'all enjoyed it.
Speaker 2: Man again, I'm still gonna check out, like they talking
Speaker 2: to a kid and Rod makes me appreciate it a
Speaker 2: little bit more, you know what I'm saying, just just
Speaker 2: to see the excitement, especially Rod, because Rod, don't you
Speaker 2: cared about no damn anime?
Speaker 3: Like every time you.
Speaker 4: See he'd be the music, I'm like, what the they
Speaker 4: don't even match the scene, Like what is happening right now?
Speaker 4: That music don't even match what's going on. It'd be that,
Speaker 4: and it just be some of the just like creepy ship,
Speaker 4: it just be because it's ain't creepy this. I don't
Speaker 4: think this is like the ship that she watches, which
Speaker 4: which is why she's not really a big fan of
Speaker 4: this thing. She's not a big fan of this how
Speaker 4: she is and some of the other yeah, like like
Speaker 4: because this it is not this, like like it's just
Speaker 4: not this and so this is this is more kitty
Speaker 4: than the stuff that or whatever.
Speaker 2: Mm hmmm. That's this is considered like there was a
Speaker 2: big the Big Three like shown in and it was
Speaker 2: like well one piece basically Naruto, Dragon ball Z, one
Speaker 2: Piece Bleach like all them are more of this type
Speaker 2: of feel. Nowadays we got more like that guys in the.
Speaker 4: Look at her like who are you? Like? Like like
Speaker 4: what the like? She be in it? Bro, like she
Speaker 4: be in it? I just I can't m m.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Hey man, now that you say that, though, I am
Speaker 2: gonna find a quick that they are quick animates that's
Speaker 2: not that long. It's like twenty episodes of a full
Speaker 2: story that you probably get with and you just be like,
Speaker 2: this is my ship. I can fuck suggested shrinking from
Speaker 2: Apple TV.
Speaker 1: That's my ship.
Speaker 2: I can fuck with that world. I can fun with
Speaker 2: that world.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 1: That bro.
