Danny you NEED to make Nick finish Bungo Stray Dogs

[@YellowNuggy]

I HEAVILY second this

[@LumpySpaceNinja]

This might be a hot take but Season 5 goes harder than Shibuya Incident in JJK

[@yob757]

@LumpySpaceNinja PIPING hot but like lowkey facts

[@ultimatebishoujo29]

@@YellowNuggyI heavily third this

[@jeremygrandison1040]

Bungo Stray Dogs is PEAK STRAY DOGS

[@MacKenzieAkari]

Bungo Stray Dogs is a mess, but it's our mess and we love it.

[@InugamiTheHound]

hell I started to watch bungo stray dogs a few years back in 2021-2022. So first season is kinda rough but I love season 2 and 3 and I saw the movie and then I watched season 4 and I waited for season 5(I watched all of it in english dub. Very good but sadly RIP vic mignogna as Ranpo's VA)

[@jeremygrandison1040]

Bungo Stray Dogs is underrated PEAK And thank God the manga is continuing now that Season 5 is done in 1 year

[@InugamiTheHound]

@@jeremygrandison1040 I finally saw all of season 5 of bungo stray dogs. I love it so much and I can't wait for next season.

[@oceanapearl3503]

Nick said doctor and Danny's traumatised brain went MORI!?!?!?

[@clarachase1422]

The singer for Trash Candy is actually Chuuya’s Japanese voice actor

[@ultimatebishoujo29]

Yup

[@riceonflowers]

Lol the Azure Messenger Arc was done really wonky in the anime because it was actually Kunikida and Dazai heavy in the light novel. It was Dazai's entrance exam into the ADA so it was showcasing his skills through Kunikida's eyes while also demonstrating Dazai testing if Kunikida would be a partner he'd be interested in. Also Keith Silverstein's (Mori's VA) got range lmao. But his most famous roles are always the creeps.

[@gargwinvinesnake6961]

Mori can change Elise's personality. He doesn't create new kids.

[@-AmateurArtist]

Danny didn't want to spoil it but Elise's personality changes to fit Yosano's after shhe left him

Shout out to Blank for all the editing he does. Very impressive. He's my third favorite person on this podcast, right after Neutron.

[@jamesolson6544]

Wait so if neutron is 2 and frank is 3 does that mean you're team Danny or team nick

[@-AmateurArtist]

Team Wagyu

[@ithinkicanwrite]

Last 3 words are legit genius. Kudos sir!

[@Gager3030]

Next game Danny needs to make Nick watch Skate the infinity

[@Royal__Kitsune]

and Nick has to make Danny watch *Blood Blockade Battlefront* so he knows how BSD really is the gayer ver. of BBB lol

[@danny-mottas-biggist-fan]

I second this

[@blue_sketchbook]

Yessss!

[@ultimatebishoujo29]

Yassss

[@samhead7062]

He did. Both the sub and dub

[@chlowiththeflow3518]

Danny should watch Ouran High School Host Club it would fit his brand

[@Jinxx9081]

Yes I would love to see him react to it (it has to be the English dubbed version)

[@altioremautem2568]

you are absolutely correct!

[@-AmateurArtist]

I want him to watch it cuz I know he'd hate it

[@sadie9205]

@@-AmateurArtistYeah it’s on brand for him to watch but ik Danny would despise it esp the twins 😭😭

Nick saying "I have so little loyalty" the same day I told my friend I would gladly sell him out to our future alien overlords for a better station in life is peak timing lmfao

[@LittleLegend22]

I haven't watched the video yet but BSD is one of my favourite anime and if Nick say something bad about it I will fight him (I'm only kidding don't take it seriously😂)

[@WhiteNoBeard471]

I would fight him, but he'd for sure whoop my ass so I'll have to pass.

[@finji53]

Same

[@youngspade573]

We all can take him. Jump Jutsu!! 😂

[@AJ__525]

bungo is not as good as you think it is

[@alphakowaclips]

Nah let's fight

[@Alphahunter456]

NICK LOVES RANPO LETS GO On another note new season of slime sounds an awful lot like overlord s4

[@ultimatebishoujo29]

Yasss

[@alphakowaclips]

The Ranpo arc was so funny to see across seasons 😂

[@g.s556]

Junichiro and Naomi aren’t siblings lol it’s a reference to the book written by junichiro called naomi which is about 2 stranger pretending to be siblings but they also bang

[@oceanapearl3503]

In the anime they do be siblings tho

[@melissamgmstudios8269]

The English dub actor for Ling from FMAB is Todd Haberkorn, not the English actor for current Ranpo. Todd is the voice for Edgar Allen Poe though.

[@ultimatebishoujo29]

Yep

[@Sun7838]

36:35 I need a gif of Danny staring at the camera going "I don't know 😀" lmfao

[@hey_itspaigey]

The reason Atsushi can control his power so early is because once you pass the exam, Fukuzawa's ability allows him to control the abilities of his subordinates. Also, i think the reason Nick is so puzzled about each person's abilities is because to fully comprehend BSD, you need to extensively read into each author they're based on. Chuuya doesn’t get enough screen time, in my opinion. But everybody downplays his ability. The most useless character is Higuchi.

[@ultimatebishoujo29]

He definitely doesn’t get enough screentime

[@soff-zv5qk]

I don't even care if you just shit talked bsd I'm just happy y'all finally talked about it in the podcast I swear 😭

[@merobiba413]

same lol, i like bsd but i was laughing at some of the good points that they made about its flaws

[@sageleaf8962]

+ most of the takes r reasons I actually like it

[@KayRich-kw4xh]

Possible spoiler: Note on Atsushi mastering his power, it’s actually Fukuzawa’s ability to make anyone in the ADA have full mastery over their ability. So as soon as he joined Fukuzawa’s power was used on him.

[@maddieplays1010]

36:21 is so funny because Danny knows about Mori when Nick doesn't

[@ultimatebishoujo29]

Yup

[@yob757]

atsushi and kyokas relationship is not romantic in the slightest😭😭 the writers arent even trying to push that agenda with them either lucy is the love interest

[@theweebcommander]

THEY GO ON A DATE

[@yob757]

@theweebcommander THEY THOUGHT IT WAS HER LAST DAY ALIVE ATSUSHI WANTED HER TO HAVE A GOOD NORMAL DAY WDYMMM

Wgat it was supposed to be her last day alive 😭😭​@@theweebcommander

[@lydialubach8872]

It is cute and loving. And in Beast it made me cry a bit.

[@SoooOriginal]

I'm unreasonably excited that Nick and Danny are talking about BSD

[@ultimatebishoujo29]

Same

[@replicatv1463]

A themed pod could be fun, have Nick and Danny pull three anime character tropes out of a hat and show up in character as a combination of the three

[@Dawg-ou3gd]

Yes

[@merobiba413]

yeah!

[@Pal-605]

Im pretty sure atsushi and kyouka are more of a brother-sister type relationship(not like the tanizakis)

[@ultimatebishoujo29]

I’m pretty sure about that too

[@Thegreatbritshpenquin]

Also kyokua is 14 atsushi is 18

[@isabellecross2742]

exactly what I needed Nick in short shorts facing away from the camera 😍

[@AshleyDavisOtaku4life]

18:08 There is so much trash talk in Haikyuu! It’s mostly trash talkl lol. Nekoma vs Kurasuno is like Asta versus Yuno. They are rivals that respect each other and have worked really hard to get where they’re at so that they can prove who’s the best. Even then they shit talk each other 😂

[@femurremover]

1:24:30 Slime Isekai is one of my all time favorites BECAUSE the world is so in depth. The consequences of actions are actually thought about, with other nations needing to respond to world altering events. There are so many power fantasy shows that don't take into account real world consequences of killing THOUSANDS of people, destroying nations in one go, or announcing yourself as a DEMON LORD. Plus the latter half of the season is litterally a tournament arc so I hope Nick will atleast enjoy that part.

[@FreeBird2291]

Love y’all’s podcast so much. I love the fast paced bits. It feels like talking with friends the way you bounce from topic to topic. It keeps things fresh and fun. Not boring like a lot of other podcasts I listen to.

[@wizonezen2655]

They do mention how atsushi is able to control his ability afterwords just in season 2

[@rhyanedgcomb9868]

When I saw the title I had to see this

[@freshcupofangst]

17:59 “there’s no shit talking in haikyuu” Tsukishima, Oikawa, and the Miya twins would say differently but sureee.

[@oceanapearl3503]

Danny exploding with laughter when Nick mentions Aku looking like a vampire XD

[@saimasajid4779]

Was i the only kinda hoping that danny would mention helluva boss to nick and make him watch it as well

[@victoralfonso354]

I do have to say that Haikyuu is a more than just a story about volleyball their themes of talent vs hard work, losing, winning, the court as a stage, and so much more and the characters are great. Highly recommended!!!!

[@maddieplays1010]

im just gonna say the Light novels and the manga are 100% better then the anime. Like stuff actually makes sense Studio bones clearly doesn't like Bsd

[@ultimatebishoujo29]

That’s true

[@oceanapearl3503]

fiSHEye

[@GabeMiddleton-zh2ko]

Completely unrelated but i wonder if nick and Danny know the beastars author is the daughter of the guy who made baki

[@SkylarBlake411]

I'm so glad both of you are back in action. I was having withdrawals my guys.

[@Royal__Kitsune]

At this point i dont think MHA could do anything right in nick and danny's eyes. and it's sad to see cause MHA's newest episode and OP are incredible! And Danny saying MHA has to have JJK level animation is SUCH a bad take. as the ONLY reason S2 looked as good as it did, was because the animators were treated like dogshit. I'd rather we have the animation we have now then get better animation at the misstreatment of said animators

[@KlintKaras]

He doesnt realize that him saying that works towards further normalizing animator abuse ... But what fo you expect from " the credits mean its over! So i turn it off!" My brother in Christ... Your two niches are anime and film... BOTH HAVE POST CREDIT CONTENT! Hes the absolute worst at his job while being the absolute best at his job... Hes a paradoxical idiot but we love him. Lol

[@whitenobeard]

Jjk had such great animation because the animators were incredibly skilled at their jobs. The animation can be achieved without mistreating employees. The issue with MAPPA is that they were forcing the animators into animating the episodes as they came out.

[@Royal__Kitsune]

Okay, im not denying that the jjk animators werent talented, because they are. BUT the crunch they were under was definitely a part as to why some episodes were as crazy as they were.

[@whitenobeard]

@@Royal__Kitsune I think it was the opposite, I feel like the crunch lessened the quality of what we could have gotten.

[@Royal__Kitsune]

i guess we'll agree to disagree, i do appreciate you being civil with my comments. twitter makes me forget people can have civil conversations lol

[@adambarnwell9180]

Anime is subjective. Trying not to take the Bungo slander personally

[@mediaocrity4]

Go Go Loser Ranger Episode 4 blasted through 7 chapters of the manga. Like there's a whole chapter dedicated to why Hibiki and D need to go to such lengths to sell the switch but the anime condensed everything in that chapter to about 10 seconds.

[@ChristinaSobel]

13:27 My first date with my husband was an empty theater like that. We saw Paul, and it was perfect because we could laugh at all the nerdy in-jokes and chat a bit. Fantastic experience!

[@oceanapearl3503]

The Boys: Talking about Windbraker ---> It somehow turning into a bsd convo

[@Cheeseface615]

I’ve experienced empty movies theaters before multiple times but it was mostly at night and it’s empty and we just talk while the movie is playing

[@bobmarley9181]

Man I've had a long week. Needed a good pod episode to listen too!!

[@flamefoxy2242]

I was on Danny's stream on Friday, and I had an absolute BLAST! I joined around an hour and a half in and immediately felt involved. The chat was a really nice community, everyone was talking to each other and when Danny went to the toilet, we all spammed "smash" for no reason to make him confused when he got back and when he did he thought we were saying "smash" about him😂Was also there when he whimpered and some amazing hero paid Danny 100$ to whimper again. Then he had a big fight agaisnt a moving house, and I was saying the house was hot in the chat the whole time as a joke and arguing with people over it, then Danny saw my comment and agreed the house was a smash and the entire chat spammed "nooooo" because they had been arguing agaisnt me to it and Danny agreed! When the stream ended I realized I was there for two hours and it felt like 20 minutes at the most. Can't wait for the next stream, I will say though, I would prefer if Danny looked at the stream chat a little more often, because the chat is constantly active and he only really checked once every 5 minutes. Other than that, amazing stream!

[@yourstruly9013]

I totally agree w you except for Danny reading the chat bc I can’t blame him for playing the game when ppl are just constantly spamming “watch ____ show!!!” constantly 😭

Nick over here completely miss understanding the entire point of slime isekai literally being about the worldbuilding lmao

[@NonProductiveGaming]

Fr lmao, the political stuff is deff a little boring at times, but I don't think it's bad enough to drop it. Especially since we saw the potential in season 2

[@rebeccaliar9873]

Having watched all of Danny's reactions to Bungou, I genuinely think these characters are just too clever for their own good. The Gifted are all so convinced of their superiority and genius that it genuinely hasn't occurred to them to use guns, so obsessed with their powers that they assume Dazai would be able to kill all of them because they don't actually think about anything else. Like, I genuinely don't think it would ever occur to Akutagawa and Chuuya to just beat Dazai to death because they'd get distracted gaming out a five-dimensional way to kill him with their powers without his power stopping them.

[@frida826]

Chuuya definetlly knows how easy it would be to kill Dazai

[@oceanapearl3503]

IT HAPPENED AGAIN! 1:19:45 Them: Talking about Kaiju #8 Also them: Bring up Bungou out of NOWHERE

[@carlogemigniani5720]

(this is in response to them not understanding the "New order quirk" when she makes the Air Stan and then the Lazer beams could be held rule, she then lost the rule to be strong AF, yk like as soon as she made a new rule, the "I'm always strong" rule, got replaced by the newly given rule, so she only had two active, big Stan, and Lazer beams being held " But they don't SAY she turned off the strength" do they have to? 😂 She said "I can only make two rules" and we see her with the Stan and Lazar beams... So it implies she turned of the "I'm always strong" (btw ik I'm late as hell )

[@TheGentlemanVox]

The perception limiter on New Order is basically just the True Name limiter that is a common trope in magic systems in fantasy media. You have to have something's true name to affect it.

[@blunk778]

Nick, slime is a talking show from like this point on until a potential next season. Its peace talks with luminous, and then a festival for a whole book.

[@DankDoozlton]

Can you sell the camera when you show each other pictures? I know it’s a podcast, but I exclusively watch on KZbin. Feels like the three of us are hanging out but you two are keeping secrets.😂

[@badpiggy4177]

tbh, a lot of Suzume really only hits if you know about certain disasters that happened in Japan, since all of those doors were based on areas where disasters happened irl. A lot of Japanese people were actually hit hard by this movie because of that That said, I personally loved it lol. It was fun

[@herokid11]

Danny is insane. Spy Family was a great movie. Everyone's character was on point, great animation, action and music.

1:36:45 the small pause before Danny specifies "who ask" was unbelievably funny to me and I don't know why. Like you guys are consistently funny throughout the entire podcast, but that had me in stitches.

[@Victy_]

They don't forget about dazai being suicidal he slowly grows to accept himself and becomes less suicidal throughout the sireis

Tho that makes sense I see it more as the people he loves are in danger he stop his pursuit of death to help them live

[@Thegreatbritshpenquin]

So fun fact about the ending song it can do read as a later from one character to another Dazai not being able to kill himself it’s that he’s tried shooting himself he’s tried jumping off of a building it didn’t work also the guid to suicide is a real book They don’t want Dazai dead they just know he will survive but here’s some things some agency members to keep Dazai alive kunkida calls Dazai twice a day to check up on him if he doesn’t answer kunkida with go to his dorm to check if he’s alright they have yosano who can bring Dazai back from the dead. Also because I think bsd does deserve some criticism I will also do some criticism what fukuzawas ability is, is stupid I hate it’s a plot device There’s to much death baiting Mori doesn’t have a different Elise in the Yosano backstory but when he met dazai he changed what Elise looks and acts to match how dazai looks and acts

[@tamurlane_aloia]

On the topic of the perception clause, Tomura literally says in his mind "she got me" after Star says his name. If that isn't the most straightforward acknowledgement of perceived identity possible, then I don't know what is.

[@kamronspencer4910]

She turned off her super strength. And the air is in her form. So when she moves it moves to follow her form.

i like bsd powers bc its not just normal ones (apart from kenji love kenji) so it makes it more fun

31:25 is the reason my fav characters are kinda obsucre, like #1 is q #2 is aya and #3 is nikolai

omg my mind was spiraling i thought nick was small enough to sit with his legs crossed on the chair 😭

[@xNico1412]

How does Nick find these Slime episodes too much, but managed to watch Season 2? Season 2 Part 2 was literally like 7 episodes of pure meetings in a row. That being said from the next episode onwards its less meetings

[@oceanapearl3503]

Watch Nick completely 180 on his bsd opinions place bets below on how long it'll take

[@Shabang_]

me sat here twitching (bsd is my fav show of ALL TIME and has been for about a year now)

[@mo7444]

Danny I know u scrounge through the comments so I hope u see this but idk if u just simplified mori’s ability but it is way worse than anything u said cause yes Mori chooses but he “CHOOSES” he could make Alice a fully grown woman maybe even a man but more than that he can control her intelligence and personality so technically Alice is Mori and he chooses to make her a bratty 12 year old who does questionable shit

[@brettingram4496]

I ain’t accepting the suzume slander. Objectively you ain’t wrong bout the shit that happens but it do be the underlying message that they’re driving

[@Shabang_]

im pretty sure dazai isnt actually suicidal, well yes he is but in a way that he fantasizes about death and wants to have a good way to die, he obviously believes suicide is the best so he kinda fantasizes over the obtions, yk its a weird obsession icl but its not that he hates life, he just doesnt really see a point in it idk why i know this i have no recelection why so it mighy be wrong
