[@talwaldude148]

When you think about it, Anime Campaign Giovanni is extremely tragic in a way he refuses to acknowledge because his mom says, "No one likes you" (implying she doesn't even like him let alone love), then his worst nightmare is his mother loving him and doing it in the worst way (like a monkey palm wish to be loved by his mom), so he gives himself the most hype imaginable (possibly to be admired/love (probably feels like it's the same)), I'm sad the players didn't take Milly loving Giovanni as the biggest win of his existence and just fully accepting boufriend-husband and later realizing that means fiancee

[@chrissomnitz6123]

Prison of Plastic is a much better story and honestly has better comedy too, but I really prefer how Milly's epithet was done here. Taking the toy store and expanding it feels a lot more like augmenting it, rather than creating an entirely new, independent world. I feel like "dream" might be a better epithet to describe Lorelei's powers? idk I'm not the author. In any case, this was a blast! My favorite moment was the Giovanni-Sylvie exchange "In YOUR match you just cuddled with sheep for 20 minutes!" "Yeah. And I still won." I don't remember the timestamp so that might be misquoted, but still, it's so funny hearing out-of-context things about episode 0 lol

[@destinyjewel2588]

Yeah Lori's powers in PoP felt a bit confusing that way. Because I was waiting for a real life anchor to some connections of the bubbles. For example Lori's sword being a wooden one augmented because of the AoE area she's made. However, my interpretation of it is being a more mental augmentation of it. I'm not going to say how in great detail (cause who spoils a book?) but things such as Molly being able to connect areas to TV shows and how Lorelai seems to deal with Molly is more of a mental augmentation rather than psychical one to one.

[@insertnamehere1398]

All it’s missing is Agatha and sylvie ngl

[@purpleisdebeste]

I think Lori’s epithet powerset is meant to be more “augmented reality” esque, where the thing being augmented is physics and the fabric of the universe

[@7PMNewz]

I remember watching this episode of anime campaign live. I was in a really bad mental place and this (along with other Surprise Round campaigns) were some of the only times I was laughing back then. Anime campaign is definitely not as polished on revisit, but it sparked my love for TTRPGs and meant so much to me during a really hard time, so I’m delighted to get to watch them again.

[@KingTwelveSixteen]

[@BaronB.BlazikenBaronOfBarons]

I think the big issue with Anime Campaign Sylvie is that he only considers what happens in the sessions themselves and not anything else. Like, his sole motivation is Mera and the necklace and nothing else. Said obsession is so absolute that it actively hurts the party in AC Part 4, where he uses up precious investigation time on interaction with characters that have _nothing_ to do with the mystery. He thinks that some guy Giovanni fought in Part 0 would be his greatest fear. He considers a guy in Part 0 that he just met in said part to be his best friend (which isn’t, by itself, bad, but it’s worsened by the other stuff he does). That’s probably why I’m excited to see Epithet Erased Sylvie. I _liked_ Sylvie and I _want_ to like Sylvie. And from what I’ve seen of him so far from the Museum Arc (and his little cameo in Prison of Plastic), he’s gonna _be_ better. Maybe even be apart of the final party in the final part in the final final?

[@danhatter6823]

That fun fact in the beginning is true, as not even Sylvie gets a name-drop. While the business card he gives Molly is mentioned, it’s only described as “professional-looking,” and a name is never mentioned.

[@HolySnickerPuffs]

It's all-but-outright-stated that the kid buying a pack of cards at the start of Chapter 2 is Sylvie, though. They even used his VA in the audiobook.

[@dragon1130]

@@HolySnickerPuffs is it though? Using the same VA for minor characters is a common cost saving method. I'm pretty sure if the kid was supposed to be Sylvie, it would have been WAY more obvious. Far as we know, he was just some kid who wanted a pack of Horizontal Pilot Command cards. The book doesn't really do anything else to make us think otherwise.

[@harrisono.324]

No. It’s Sylvie. He mentioned that he was there to see his friend (Molly) and even if the voice actor was reused, voice actors can do different voices and would not have just done Sylvie again for someone who isn’t sylvie.

[@deadeyeguys]

@@dragon1130 no, it's pretty clear it's sylvie. it's said in the narration as hes leaving that he was 'actually there to visit a friend who worked there' (paraphrasing, it's something like that) and that this friend wasn't in the store at the time. yeah it's never explicitly stated, but it'd be very weird if this character didn't turn out to be him. the fact that shares the same va as sylvie AND is explicitly stated to want to have visited a friend who works at the toy store makes it pretty obvious. could you make the argument that comment wasnt about molly? technically, but that's grasping at straws for no reason.

man it is so cathartic reading all the tooltips on the boss fights, these first 3 episodes had the most painful combat in the series and i ended up skipping most of them on my first watch. thank you jello! 🙏🏽

[@Dxm2000andNinju]

Gosh. I'm pretty sure(not 100%, it might've actually been one of the "Welcome to" videos, a couple years prior) that this was my introduction to Jello (and Plaster, who's music I used to listen to a lot-- esp the song at the end of the the welcome to videos --and need to get back into). I do know he was one of the first people I followed on Twitch(Was AC really 2016? I swear it was further back than that.), after discovering the service through a webcomic artist a while prior and just never using it. Iirc, I popped in partway through this episode, watched what I could before life interrupted, binged it start to finish on the weekend after and fell in love immediately. I subsequently found and watched episode one, quite confused by the fast change, though I eventually warmed up to them too. I thought the whole thing was amazing, and made plans to watch the rest as it came out, in the mean time enjoying Jello's KZbin... unfortunately 2016 proved to be a not great year, and those plans were forgotten, though I never forgot the group. Later, I tried to hunt down the streams, only to find them gone. Managed to find a few archived in different parts of the internet and saved them for later, but for some reason never watched them. Later still, I heard mention Jello didn't *want* people watching them, and while that actually increased my interest, I obliged. I watched the Epithet episodes after release, and quite(understatement) enjoyed them, though I couldn't help but note the differences(e.g. the Sherriff being less present and less effective, "I swear there were other people involved in Red Wood Run!"-- sad to have seen I was correct, though I couldn't quite recall enough to know who I was missing, and I get *why* they were cut, much as I would have loved to have them around still in some capacity). Despite knowing these have been up a year and a half, I waited still, knowing Jello preferred it that way, before caving today and binging both. Unfortunately, I've not the cash to get PoP yet, and I don't want to delve into the sample, because I know that'll make the need worse, but I've been itching a long time to rewatch this. Actual years. And, much as Jello may not be a fan, I genuinely loved this, it was like coming home, or finding an old childhood memory that brought you comfort. I loved the bee collectibles, Quinton's zaniness, Giovanni's... everything, the byplay between the players, their nonsense and how they accented their character's obsession and flaws, while still trying to move forward (also their abysmal luck, esp Chris' which left me hoping that this wouldn't turn him off from TTRPGs-- which was actually a big reason I wanted to watch the other vids, because I was weirdly parasocially worried --). Thank you for re-releasing these. And thank you as well, for the years of content in the interim, and prior, as well as anything you make in the future. Thank you to your great friends who contributed as well. Yah'll were awesome. Stay awesome ^^

[@verdragon5591]

Honestly, as good as I thought Prison of Plastic was, I think this adventure might be a bit more fun, mostly due to Quinton and the NPCs like the Octoclackers.

Here's a randomly ordered list of my favorite bit jokes and dumb things from the episode. 55:55 If you somehow pull that off in Epithet Erased I am going to be shocked. 3:20 We were never going to get Agitha Fuckwhistle in Epithet Erased, but she's amazingly evil. (Pretty sure the spelling bee is her counterpart in EE) 5:18 Honestly, I forgot how great Agitha was. 6:00 Unlike her EE counterpart, she just sucks! 15:15 Flashback: D_______s looking s_______t 17:20 Sylvie's slow descent begins 19:44 Took two anime campaign episodes, but now we have [Soup] 26:03 The doctor has arrived. 55:58 EVERYONE LOVE _________! 54:25 Friendly bees! 1:00:30 before Epithet Erased. These were Giovanni's boys.

[@patdav56]

Agatha is one of the best worst people in this series XD

[@firekirby123]

Oh just wait... just you fucking wait... :)

[@BlankKnightt]

...This makes me try to think of a way Agatha could of fit into Prison of Plastic, and the only way I can think of is if she is a villian...

[@byrontheusurper6505]

It's rlly fun having molly as basically this uncaring god of destruction to the toy world, similarly to prison of plastic.

[@DamienStarry0w0]

God I'm fucking praying that Agatha Fuckwhistle returns in some way in epithet erased even if it's a cameo as long as there like a single line of voiced dialog I will die happy lmaooo

[@insertnamehere1398]

Bring her baaaacxkkkk

[@thesilverprincess]

Anime Campaign and Epithet Erased have quickly become my favorite series and TTRPG and I can’t wait for the rest of them to be released with the rest of Epithet Erased.

[@emeraldjayent2403]

I do hope Miss Fuckwhistle is in Epithet Erased, but unfortunately I highly doubt it.

[@tyrelljones8509]

They would have to rename her since the F word is too much for the level of maturity set up by the first seven episodes.

[@dragon1130]

@@tyrelljones8509 yeahh...despite certain characters saying sh!t a few times in Prison of Plastic (several times at once even) the other four letter swear just seems a bit to extreme...especially as a name. Though you could modify the name to make it more suitable. PoundFlute, ScrewHorn, or even FornicationOcerina could be suitable replacements. It works on multiple levels.

[@Sheepscope]

@@dragon1130 Or her name could be (Bleep sound effect)whistle--the joke being everyone makes that noise with their mouths.

[@fleshdadbot6852]

@@dragon1130 why was fornicationocerina so funny, it's not supposed to be funny.

[@dragon1130]

@@fleshdadbot6852 Short answer: it was supposed to be funny. That's why you found it funny Long version that explains the joke, thus "ruining" it: FornicationOcerina consists of two fairly long words that are both four syllables long. The longer the words the funnier they are. Especially when combined. Fornication is also too on the nose for a replacement to the word f#ck. Pound, screw, and even slam are perfect substitutes because they have multiple meanings (much like the root word itself actually). You can't say "go fornicate yourself" and expect it to have the same power as "go screw yourself" "go f#ck yourself", or even "go pound yourself". There's also the rule of 3, where the third thing in a list is funny because of how different or extreme it is to the other two items on a list. But that's more of a comedy guideline and not the reason it's funny. It also makes this explanation list a tad bit funnier.

The tool tips and Patreon audio (for only $5 go support jello) are both really helpful for any system. I love playing in the AC system and can’t wait to try these tips soon!

[@LINGWOW9]

Wait there's a commentary on the patreon??

[@DyxoXinoro]

Y'know, I've wondered what the relationship between Jello and Plaster have been since I realized how similar their avatars were. Its pretty wholesome to have them work together on Epithet Erased and do cross promotion. Anywho, fun as this is, I'll have to save the next episode for after the next book comes out. Thank you for reediting and reuploading these! Especialy with the tool tips. Even as an experienced GM there were some stuff I never considered thay came up here, and I'm sure my group will enjoy seeing how I experiment with the lessons learned.

[@malaksafa4074]

Their siblings

[@daschlubbster]

These are so amazing and charming! I really love all the characters here! Honestly, Lenny, Agitha, and Quinton share the top spot in my list of favorites (For Anime Campaign)

[@byrontheusurper6505]

I love the octoclacker so much that might be my favourite voice jello's ever done!

[@rickypedia999]

I'm not even 5 minutes in and rooting for Agitha to go to prison for life... also laughing my ass off

[@insertnamehere1398]

Ngl as much as I want her in prison I also want her to come to my house for tea on Wednesday evenings

[@tapwater4425]

Hearing Naven with the same voice as he has in PoP throws me off so much Also oh my god does the name “Prison of Plastic” originate from Lenny’s attack? I swear to god..

[@frostplays155]

I like to believe that Quinton moves around like a Looney Tunes character when he ran over the water I kinda imagined him running like the Roadrunner

[@user-xsn5ozskwg]

Oh boy, I love Jail of Styrofoam!

[@snapdragon242]

JAIL OF STYROFOAM 😭😭😭😭😭

[@tjcross2]

You know I used to be mad Anime Campaign was removed from the internet. Six minutes in and I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND.

[@DrewconicSorceress]

note: Due to the buff she got from the lava, Agitha's crit should've done 26 damage in addition to whatever buff she got from Euclid

[@wifishark8]

Quenton was the funniest character, couldn't stop laughing

[@neosaneo2]

i forgot how similar milly and molly's voices started! by episode 8 they sounded completely different

[@purpleisdebeste]

1:08:38 I actually disagree with this one. It's a good tip in most situations but this campaign was filled to the brim with long silences and anything filling that air is a good thing, especially since npcs initiating conversation can encourage other people to participate, like how lenny joins in here

[@JelloApocalypse]

It's filled to the brim with long silences because Roob and I initiate almost every conversation and the players can't tell if they're allowed to interact or if it's a cutscene. Because the NPCs are talking too much.

[@jo2003se]

@@JelloApocalypse yeah I remember a moment like that between Sylvie and Phoenie in adventure 6b, they the party thought it was a cutscene when they we’re supposed to proceed. Like listening to the milkman all the way before his level

[@DylanMdog1]

56:00 Woah, what a cool loading screen message :) I’m curious how Jello would do this in book form without it feeling a bit forced.

[@pbeardedl1201]

It is very weird to see proto-Giovanni with how much better modern Giovanni is

[@byrontheusurper6505]

WAIT HOWIE WAS THERE FOR INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION? That's so cute!

[@kiteecat2006]

These are just personal notes for my favourite parts :^ 10:45 Poor molly, still found this part funny tho 14:11 "*gasp* the bear!" 14:26 "Look at all these people!! Standing on your table!" Naven you were one of my favourites in the book and you still are in the campaign 19:31 Giovani introduction 26:12 Found this funny lolz 59:13 Love ya too howie 1:04:14 The way naven speaks just, idk man, it's perfect. I just like the sing songy voice he's got 1:07:45 Naven and bird Trust there will be more once I have time to watch more

[@anahata8285]

And sadly none of the players actually learned the lesson the duck told them, in order to guess Zora's epithet...

[@byrontheusurper6505]

Oh so sylvie actually HAS a yoyo!

[@Boomerkbom57]

OH NO IT'S HERE Now I'm forced to either get spoiled or have the awkwardly ask my parents for money since I'm at the age where I'm too old to ask for money but too young to be able get any myself. Or just wait to watch the video. That also works.

[@coldDrive]

They literally said they can't afford to yet. Be kind.

[@deadeyeguys]

the book is overall better, but i think that anime campaign has enough differences where i don't think watching it would completely ruin the emotional impact of the book. personally i would still recommend waiting on watching this until youve read prison of plastic though.

[@firekirby123]

Having watched this stream 3+ times and read Prison of Plastic twice so far, yeah, you're not going to spoil anything big by watching this one. The main set-pieces, most of the cast, and just about everything at the end of this stream is different than Prison of Plastic. The NEXT TWO are the ones you want to look out with, because THOSE will have _serious_ spoilers for the books at the end. No pressure to watch this video before you get around to the book, but if spoilers are the _only_ thing keeping you from this, you're definitely in the clear this time around. ;)

[@alandtic4616]

I don’t know your situation but if your family has the money ask if you can do jobs in exchange for them buying the book. Eg mow the lawn or cook dinner

[@caram5222]

Spoilers. Their aren't any real spoilers. Two of the main characters arent here. In my opinion phonecia acts completely diffrent in prison of plastics. Navien has a more minor role. And the story is much more focused on the two sisters relationship. Not even the battles in this are the same. So like your fine, your not really spoiling this for yourself.

[@Sleepy12ftPanda]

I literally forgot about goddamn Agatha Fuckwhistle holy shit

[@GusOmega]

3:57:00 I'd argue that if your side wins and you survive you should get spoils. Maybe no items of you get separated at the end, like surviving but falling down a chute.

[@StellarRetribution]

I really hope the shitty genie returns on the EE TTRPG wild magic table

[@halifaxsteppenwulf7980]

God that episode was absolutely hilarious, even edited down it's just as funny as it was all those years ago

[@firekirby123]

5:10 JELLO WHY?! Oh my god you're not allowed to be this fucking funny I'm gonna die.

[@DataDigi151]

I don’t really get what’s so embarrassing or disappointing about these old streams. To me, they just look like good fun between good friends. Kinda wish I could do this with a group of friends and hopefully I can when the Epithet Erased ttrpg book releases years from now.

[@bubbleboy1320]

there is a google doc that has the rules and it’s pretty fun and easy to run!! docs.google.com/document/d/1FDjPzvwzjypF0LUFjHpHELCMycIL7NA2g5BFPlEdYTo/edit

[@tentativegazer]

I feel like it's just a symptom of being a creative, a lot of times when you look at your past work you can only see the flaws, even if they aren't actually as noticeable to everyone else as they are to you.

[@MryMocha]

I read and heard the book so i can now finally watch this! I am so excited to see how old Molly, Gio, Lori and Silicy were (plus any other characters)

[@KawaiiBabyTragon]

YESSSSS I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SO, SO MUCHHHH 😭😭😭 THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU JELLO AND FRIENDS 💕💕💕
