Has Fanservice Gone Too Far? | Fake Fans #3

[@bamboom2338]

Yo Trash Taste looking a little different

[@stuntmonkey00]

They're actually talknig about anime!

[@totheendandbeyond]

​@@stuntmonkey00yep, this is not Trash Taste behaviour

[@yomulv]

Rubbish flavour

[@Johnnyhoboy]

It'd be awesome for a trash taste member to come on someday

[@FakeCdawgVA12]

Yes, I enjoy it a lot more if there's another one. Not to compare with another podcast but Im accustomed with 3 person podcast.

[@ImaNguyener45]

Scarra reading 100 chapters of 131 of silverspoon and stopping is crazy

[@abdullahpoyraz2838]

idk man early chapters are better imo, at some point you wanna see some character progression focus and it doesn't come so it falls off

[@jeffkc93]

Love this episode so far, secretly hoping Syd becomes a regular guest

[@FakeFansPodcast]

Syd is awesome, thanks for watching!

[@GhulamMustafa_54]

@@FakeFansPodcast i love how no comment was made on the 2nd half of ur comment 😂😂

[@mr.foxxie]

Sydney is straight up business smile cat for like the first 8 minutes of this episode LOL

[@cdot32]

I am someone who enjoyed Stein's Gate in the current day, but I do have to say that you will only enjoy it if you finish it. The first half is literally all buildup for the last 3rd of the season and it is all done so well, but it does require a lot of patience and if you cant handle Okarun's Chunnibyoness I get why you can't finish it.

[@godwinwong2809]

I want to say this 10 more times. It really is worthwhile. I don't want to over hype it or spoil anything, so I will only add, it is an experience. Please watch it.

[@YelovXD]

I'm weird and actually enjoyed the first half more. I liked the slow build-up because I knew it was building up to something, in a way it makes it more tense (imo).

[@agumon1605]

I dropped it after 6 eps, sell me why eps 7 will change my mind (spoilers are okay)

[@bastidota]

@@agumon1605 You're not part of the chosen ones, if the first few episodes don't convince you then I don't know what will. It's just great until you get to the end.

[@nemureki]

@@agumon1605 it genuinely took me until "the big reveal" episode to be like okayy now im into this, which i dont remember when it was but i remember it being somewhere around 7-10. which is honestly crazy for an anime. but i will say, once you finish the whole thing, the beginning is worth it and everything comes full circle. you'll only really understand if you finish it which kinda sucks but theres a reason it's one of the highest rated on MAL

[@AdrianAye]

"You lost me at slave" i cant breathe

[@cjmpanda8070]

Solo Leveling episode 7.5 was made due to production issues, as the main voice actor got sick. The show wasn't supposed to have it initially.

[@DarkSaitama]

I love that when Sydeon has something uncomfortable to say she just gives these fantastic smile 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@lobojc8]

Syd only liking Shonen series is crazy to me. Granted she's a new anime fan so it makes more sense to be in a shonen phase at the start. Once ya start noticing the repeated troups ya start looking for different genres.

[@kiidkif2009]

Tht was me too😂

[@TheGamer_MJ]

The Way Syd talks about the X-Men regardless whether it’s about the films or the new show which is phenomenal makes me have some much more respect for her. She also has a very good pick of her favourite superheroes

[@GregDD]

Steins; Gate is really just a slice of life until halfway through. But once shit starts going down it's a crazy ride all the way to the end, which only works because of the foundation of the first half of the show. Absolute masterpiece.

[@Cevichelicious]

Im ngl i dont love it, i watched it due to hype, it was fun once i finished it. It probably doesnt break my top 15. I just think if it takes you 4 hours to set something up befor it gets interesting its not that great for me. But to each their own

[@damnation6667]

The initial episodes are hard to get through but after episode 12, everything is so good that the later whole half is like the best thing in anime and its honestly a fair trade It had the perfect ending for a TIME TRAVEL FICTION which is so hard to do. And when you rewatch Steins gate again you feel like the initial half becomes sooo much more interesting and i feel like that makes this anime much more lovable and just amazing experience with this perfection honestly Like how rare is good ending these days and this one has the best one!

[@midnightshout69]

Sydney seems like the type of person to fall into the manga reading rabbit hole in a couple of years

[@beantama_]

kubo was an aspiring fashion artist that’s why he so good at dripping them out

[@4Gallego]

SYDNEY BEST GUEST! Also, I admit that I totally have blinders on when it comes to fan service, I just assume "its the culture" and explain it away while enjoying my manga. Great episode!

[@Donchunky346]

Peter so right, the eight earth benders doing all these dance moves just for one rock to fly by lmao it’s a banger

[@omegamanrad]

Silver Spoon is so BASED!!! ITS SO GOOD

[@JoltingZ]

Scarra is the absolute homie. He's seen every DC comic book animated show. The More you know. He's literally seen the cape. (Yes I jumped ahead only to give him props just before I watch it in full). You absolute CHAD.

[@gentullman2]

Steins;Gate has a lot of rewatchability since there is a lot of foreshadowing and small details in the first few episodes that you might not care about or be confused about when you first see it

[@NocturnalAce]

I agree that Kubo Tite is one of the best at making characters look cool, although if you guys have ever seen Air Gear I'm sure you would agree that Oh! Great is right up on that list as well. Either way though, artists that know how to draw drip are cool af. lol

[@deepwebmp3]

ARAKI

[@KyunShino]

It's very interesting to listen to a comic superhero reader talk to manga/anime consumers about an entire different kind of stuff. I like this combo

[@jozendesu]

so hype they've been posting weekly, we eating good fr

[@scythelee5513]

Yay! Love you guys! Thanks for a new episode

[@jambles62]

That Steins;Gate take 💀

[@Petch85]

12:06 I actually thing the first 10-20 or so episodes of Fullmetal Alchemist is better than the beginning of Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. I feel like the Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood versions jumps lightly over them, because they were seen before.

[@YightLagami]

This is true. Though I feel like some of the episodes were filler-y, there were a lot of good episodes to build up the main cast of FMAB and Hughes was more developed making his death more tragic. In FMAB, he’s not as relevant prior to his death.

[@Riluski]

Solo leveling was great tbh, music, voice acting, animation, action and the story are all pretty good and interesting to me and adapted decently. They did a lot with only 12 episodes. Loving the pod tho, keep it up!

[@ciaojay7025]

The english VA did a really good job too. Adapting his voice to Jin Woo's growth

[@lil_crossgg1029]

Sydney saying you lost me at slave is so real 😂

[@00angel4200]

I didn't know I needed this podcast but now I NEED MORE

[@Tucker_-ic5iv]

I watched steins;gate a couple years ago and loved it. I agree it was slow at the start, so I can see why people can't get into it, but I enjoyed it

[@campionedi1764]

DCAU is where it's at for DC. Animation, story, action, and actually sticking to the comic books is DC's formula of success and not that awful live action dc movies.

[@Shuruko-bn9gw]

100% check out Rurouni Kenshin live-action adaptation. Best adaptation for an old series in a form of a movie. Choreography is on point!

[@wesleywyndam-pryce5305]

unless you think its strictly better than the anime why not just watch that? live action adaptations are just pointless

[@Nicole_whatsgood]

"We got a real weeb on the show" "Yeah so i only really like shonen" lol

[@HadesElderSage]

This podcast is so underrated. Peter and scarra work so well together, you can truly see their passion and friendship breeze easily throughout each episode. Sydney was a fantastic first guest!

[@DiegoSzad]

Ok this was actually really good, will give the other episodes a shot.

[@Kabra2012]

True about One Piece. Greatest of all time in my mind, but I 100% would not be able to get into it from Ep 1 if I was a first-timer now. The Live Action did great things for One Piece. Hitting the Final Saga is gonna bring a lot of attention since OP stands head and shoulders over all other Shonen regardless, but having a digestible form is essential. Can't wait for S2

[@Aldridge517]

If DC can get Green Lantern right one of these days, then that character can do for them what Guardians of the Galaxy did for the MCU. The success of Guardians allowed the MCU to start telling space stories.

[@bretwaldafps6724]

I love the Solo Leveling takes and this is coming from a BIG solo leveling fan. I agree with the points - I don't think the IRL game is lame per say - since its just leaning heavily into the power fantasy trope - but the animation needed to be at the level of Sung Jin Woo vs Igris consistently, I feel that would have elevated the show.

[@Cirv669]

this is the wildest first 7 minutes of a podcast ever

[@urahakat]

15:40 Surprised myself with a scream at Scarra’s response

[@2LettersSho]

Look, I Love NGNL. I don't know if that opening scene with Shiro was clickbait back in the day but yes, a lot of handwaving required but I really like the worldbuilding and plot so, worth for me.

[@ieMreteP]

as someone who was pretty disappointed with solo leveling, they at least did the igris fight pretty well

[@UberKrysk]

I think syd should look into ranking of kings

[@kassygo1375]

Dude yeah she’s probably really like it!

[@scarra]

she hates it LOL

[@xiimorals]

There is fan service that isn't lewd. Nanami (JJK) gripping that guys ponytail was fan service FOR SURE.

[@madgoonproductions8406]

"...What did I do before anime?" She's real for that one

[@spartnfish]

i dont know man, I started doing One Piece reacts this year and I've really been enjoying the show, the live action is definitely what pushed me into finally watching it

[@iPancake3]

On FMA vs FMAB, I see how people can prefer FMA. FMAB was made under the assumption a lot of the fans already watched FMA, so the early story was more rushed to get to the parts of the story that didn't make it to animation the first time. With FMA the early story had a lot more time and depth to really hit. For example, the arc with the Tuckers lasted several episodes in FMA and you really got attached to them making what happens next much more tragic and heartbreaking. Whereas in FMAB, the whole Tuckers' story was done in one episode.

[@Jakethedo]

After last week’s ep I’m back into reading manga 🎉

[@slimthecatdad]

Syd's take on Solo Leveling is spot on. I've described it as 2 anime premises smashed together for no reason. The starting premise was cool alone. I wish they would have never brought in the weird gameified shenanigans. It would have been more interesting if the main character would have just reawakened with better powers and stuck to the first primises

[@danielcastillo9514]

Omg I hope you guys get a panel at AX one day, the live reactions to the hot takes would be hilarious‼️💀

[@ZadkeilMercy]

Syd please please give Frieren a chance. There is zero fanservice. Its got mature themes and its action slaps. Highly recommend giving it 3 episodes

[@bengee2640]

Thank you for the episode, I appreciate the way you guys thoughtfully talk about these shows! Chainsaw Man anime is another cool topic I'm excited to hear your opinions on!

[@get_rieled]

Guys pls keep it up I'm already waiting for trash taste guests 🙇‍♂️

[@snowinmay2996]

Will Scarra and Peter talk in depth about certain mangas? Would love to hear your takes on kingdom!

[@Jzrad]

4:20 straight into the complicated overtones

[@congcyclist71]

i love silverspoon and peter bring it up every episode is awesome!

[@saintyoo]

Recaps are most of the time a result of production issues. They reuse footage so that they can catch up or skip a week.

[@twitch_takeutchi]

GUYS Don't forget - RIP Nujabes. Pour one out for an OG

[@twitch_takeutchi]

Also - would y'all accept fan submissions of audio clips of like an elevator pitch on why you should like (insert anime here) or (insert manga here)? I think that would be great to see y'all react to that. Not sure how much capacity this podcast has though in terms of staff and stuff.

[@Min1mum]

I wish more people read comic books sydeon is so real for that

[@lonebanana6753]

This episode was hilarious. Scarra dropping the line about a slave anime 5 minutes into the show with Syd's response "you honestly lost me at slave" to Scarra being absolutely concerned whether there was a new Green Lantern or not. "WAIT ...who holds the ring for EARTH?!?"

[@kiidkif2009]

29:59 currently rewatching bleach and yes the animation looks so old now but i hav to refresh my memory caus i don't remember shit

[@abhilashpillai2131]

I laughed when Scarra mentioned the Cape he under sold how bad it was

[@trevornguyen7542]

I would argue that the best way to maximize anime time would be to watch anime at a faster speed. 1.5-1.7x speed for standard anime. 2.7-3x speed for something like dragonball super

[@WillSmith-wf4nd]

Thanks to Peter saying Mato Seihei no slave on each episode I’m no halfway done with reading it 🙃

[@alextote2271]

The God of Highschool anime also is kinda like you guys described Demon Slayer. They were super focused on the fights with the animation

[@jozendesu]

I watched steins gate well after it aired (late 2010s era). I got to episode 6 or so and dropped it, rewatched again a couple years later and it jumped up to one of my favorites of all time. I'd imagine each passing year attention spans are getting shorter though, so maybe even that's an opinion of a bygone era

[@nugwisomu]

I don't remember fanservice in soul-eater, but to be fair it was more than 10 years ago and I don't really remember anything at all, not even its plot xD

[@Jam_Jon07]

I think she would really enjoy 86. Don’t remember any fan service. Definitely has stakes and is pretty dark. Great animation and soundtrack. Story is so good imo. It is the only light novel I have ever read and even bought the hard copies. Def recommend in my top 3 anime for sure.

[@souffleneutron]

As someone who never finished watching Bleach, I went back and decided to actually finish it. I realized watching it at 1.5x/2x speed really helped me enjoy the series xD. Just too much dead air of a camera panning for like a minute over an empty field.

[@wesleywyndam-pryce5305]

that should be illegal just read it at that point

[@1stchosenoneever]

I TRIED TO WATCH STEINS GATE like 4 times after I got to the first 3ish episodes and then I watched the entire thing in a few days

[@cdot32]

FINALLY A GOOD SOLO LEVELING TAKE! I can't believe how popular this dog-shit anime has become.

[@Silver-xu5er]

Opinion denied

[@ZQuago]

Ong! So based that someone has an actual opinion and isn't just hopping onto the hype-train

[@YightLagami]

It’s Korean SAO at least the anime rn. You’re free to like it, but it’s not really my style that I don’t tend to like a lot of Korean manwha to anime

[@davidguerra2328]

I am a person who watched steins gate recently and loved it.

[@xaviersgiantego1453]

Syd would love kekkai sensen

[@marcedouard421]

i watched steins gate in 2020 and i liked it. also one of the first animes i watched. watching this podcast where everyone hates makes me think thats a test for a true weeb

[@Sac_153]

Talk about or watch or read the “Toaru”series it’s soo good or “a certain” in English my favorite series the world building is amazing. Edit: the main show is called “ a certain magical index” or “Toaru majutsu no index” (not sure if I spelled the Japanese name right) and it has two spin offs “a certain scientific railgun” and “a certain scientific accelerator”.

[@kaialsh4321]

We need John in this asap. Keep it up guys❤

[@dpw157157]

This is my new favorite thing❤

[@PurGePose]

man I hope this continues for a good time just to hear you two just talk. anime/manga podcasts will turn into something else eventually bc you can only talk so much about it but I'd def still continue listen if you guys talk about other topics without the anime segments.

[@shortgamer6269]

Episode 7.5 is the most disliked anime episode in crunchyroll, but then it was revealed one of the voice actors was super sick and it couldn't be recorded in time.

[@shiryon0]

Steins Gate is so good! Trust me there is a reason they build up so slowly let them cook LMFAO (i understand why ppl cant be patient w it tho)

[@kelpklepto]

Have a debate episode with topics like "Which manga has the worst main character?" or "Best anime OPs/EDs".

[@Meh_Lone_Bah]

I was told to watch FMA Brotherhood first, but I was stubborn and needed to know why ppl preferred the Brotherhood than the original. No one would explain. So I watched the original, I liked it. The plot was good and was sad it ended shortly compared to Brotherhood that had more episodes. Then I watched Brotherhood, I liked the sharper animation and enhanced colors, the beginning followed the same, but then it turned to different parts. It felt very weird to me. I tried to think it as an alternative universe of a different decision. Brotherhood is good if you watched it first and you will be satisfied. Watching original first then Brotherhood would ruin brotherhood for you. Maybe that's why people strongly suggested Brotherhood. Hmm

[@FullmoonPhantom-dn2sr]

I loved FMA 03, too. I enjoyed it more than Brotherhood. Though, I saw Brotherhood first and then FMA03. 03 was funnier to me and I also found the tone more fitting for the series given the story and premise. I preferred the brothers ending as well. It just fit the story so well. I enjoy having both endings and both series though.

[@wesleywyndam-pryce5305]

@meh_lone_bah brotherhood is the actual story. the original fma anime caught up to the manga and then instead of adding filler and waiting they just changed the entire story for a new ending. and people liked it at the time. however since brotherhood actually follows the manga to the conclusion and is generally viewed as having the better 2nd half and ending it is what will always be recommended. we all watched fma first years before brotherhood came out but brotherhood is still the better of the 2 to most people who grew up through the release of both. the actual best way to watch it is to watch original fma anime until it departs and then swap the the episode in brotherhood that was supposed to come next. brotherhood rushes the early bit somewhat assuming you be already seen it which leaves that part weaker than the original anime. so its the original fma anime thats the alternate timeline, not brotherhood.

[@Phoqup]

Should bring more comic book readers on and discuss the differences and similarity between them in their perspective

[@geronimoortiz5413]

Made in abyss was so tragic for me because the anime was great but when I read the manga I saw ALL the creepy drawings of the main character and had to drop it because the mangaka is obviously a pdf file based on the shit he draws and inserts into the plot

[@ZQuago]

More Solo Leveling slander, let's go! Also there are colored versions of Bleach manga out there

[@JonathanMooney97]

Absolutely loving this show

[@伍智愷]

karakuri Circus is really good. has duo storyline. has fan service but not minor if i remember right.

[@valentino9916]

Peter is my bro man, gin no saji is one of my most favourite anime

[@Liversh0t]

oh just saw Syd did a Yoruichi cosplay

[@nugwisomu]

I tried picking up one-piece like a four or five separate times, I even watched a recap till like episode 100 and still can't handle watching it further

[@smoothpandan]

I feel like it's easier and more fun reading stories in manhwa, manga, webtoon, etc. format because its easy to skip the tiny slice of life random fillers that they put between fight scenes, I think that's why I'm like Scarra and prefer reading because I always end up not continuing the anime💀😭😭Kinda wish more adaptations would just put all the main important parts of the story together and just make mini seasons or do what JJK does and put mini fillers at the end of the episode

[@KeeyPie]

YES SILVER SPPOOOON IS SO UNDERATED FR FR FR!!!

[@Alexcalibure]

I'll back up Peter and say Mato Seihei no Slave or Chained Soldier in English is a really good action ecchi (fan service) series. I really like the art style, character designs, as well as the world building/setting of the manga. The anime adaptation wasn't bad, but I prefer the manga. However, it is an ecchi or fan service series, so I can't recommend it to everyone unless they are fellow degenerates. I find it interesting that Syd can't watch old anime. She's missing out on a lot of good shows. I didn’t think Solo Leveling was that bad. Granted, I read it back in 2019 and didn't continue or finish it.

[@urahakat]

Fun fact: the Japanese VA for Sunraku and Emul are married irl ❤

[@kiidkif2009]

27:46 Kimetsu no yaiba spoiled us all JJK too😂😂😂

[@nowimwrong]

I can see Syd liking Kaiju No.8

[@sleepinxonxbed]

I'm pretty sure recap episodes aren't a new thing to Solo Leveling. A LOT of 2000's anime had recap episodes to let the studio catch up on work, back when seasons were weekly 52 episodes

[@Blakers37]

Y'all really should try One Pace and see how that makes you feel about the pacing. It's definitely the bad side of it being so old, series would spend a lot more time with exposition back then.

[@stormridersk]

I'dsay Sydney should try reading som Manwha if she wants color in her reading. They do a really good job. currently reading The Boxer and it is soo good!

[@lanyardodo]

Surprised there’s no mention of Frieren or 86

[@DesiringANewDawn]

Scarra, Peter podcast goes hard. found this on recommended, and I've been binging this.

[@kiarashtaheri7478]

I watched steins gate last year and it became my favorite anime until I watched attack on titan and it's still my second favorite
