JJK Is Getting CANCELLED?? - Otakus Anonymous Episode #43

[@salty_fishcakes]

Only in a Nick and Danny cold open can you get lines as raw as “You’re watching the sandcastle of your argument crumble to my shore”.

[@salty_fishcakes]

And then end in the most heated one sided argument I’ve ever seen on camera lmao

[@dorian5846]

That shit was funny asf

[@rydersedge198]

So dramatic… I love it 😂

[@4x4lo8o]

I'm a zookeeper. A giraffe is taller than two horses. You're vastly underestimating the length of giraffe legs. In a fight I'd also easily take the giraffe, it's not even close

[@darknesswave100]

I've seen the way giraffes fight each other. Ain't no way in hell I'd take a horse in that one. They just swing their necks like baseball bats from what I've seen

[@danielcollinson101]

Need more Danny ripping into Nick uninterrupted. Those last 5 min had me in tears

[@gustavfrye2736]

Love the "most of the anime community don't deserve the anime we got" take. Totally agree I'm tired of seeing people complaining about animation 99% perfect instead of 100% when animators go through hell to make it.

[@jalilbrizan]

The horse vs giraffe debate will forever live in my head now 😂

[@YaBoi906]

also for those who didn't like the animation, the animators said they could only get 30% of the vision in time, so be grateful for what we got with their horrendous scheduale

[@Moonmi747]

But I bet they would or at least I think they should go back and complete episode 17 at some point. Because that shit was an acid trip, but understandably so since it's not even half way complete.

[@YaBoi906]

@Moonmi747 I personally liked it, but I understand where your coming from. It's just sad the animators can't pour their souls, only their bodies on a series they love.

[@postorrooster5779]

Danny being so damn pissed at nick at the end is the funniest thing I've seen on this podcast Edit:I got 69 likes best day of my life

[@nolanbritten8542]

One might say we manifested Mappas downfall with all the memes we made

[@darknesswave100]

Good. If that makes the industry treat animators better then that might just be what needs to happen

[@jordanl5436]

Where do u think the memes came from

[@ErosIRL]

Not manifested. We probably helped some of the animators realize “this is not the industry standard and is not ok. We’re overperforming and valuable” I think it’s less manifestation and more exposition. Always hoping companies like Mappa and Blizzard understand that treating your employees like garbage doesn’t make your product better, having the best animation and animators happy and performing their best WILL and will always produce more money long term

[@mehybe]

The immediate argument about horses and giraffes height 😂

[@aaronyaegar1557]

I think it’s crazy that so many people thought Mahoraga died when at the start of the episode Megumi explains he can summon it as many times as possible to tame it

Nick saying that Nanami stays burnt from now on is just cruel 😭

[@landenvincent8195]

the part of the pod with nick and danny talking about themselves and what makes them and how they run their accounts and the future was so beautiful to me

[@nhc7772]

I heard that Mappa was founded by a animator that got sick of being told what to work on so he made mappa to do his own stuff. Years later Mappa gets huge and the vision of what Mappa was when it was founded is completely gone. I also think that animator that founded it is also gone too. Again, this is just what I heard. Don’t know if it’s a fact or not.

[@darknesswave100]

That would go in line with a lot of businesses in general. The guy who founded Walmart for example always talked about how he wanted people to come in and be treated like family and if people needed stuff then there would be people there to help them. Now look at how it's run. Places get too big and make too much money and all of a sudden the original vision gets replaced with dollar signs

That ending had me dying lmao. The hardest I've ever seen Danny lay into Nick xD😂😂😂

[@jarrodtollison3530]

I have no idea why Danny hates Yuji so much but loves Tanjiro who’s the most nothing MC there is

[@darknesswave100]

Sukuna is NOT a cursed spirit. How are people still getting this wrong? He was a human sorcerer that was turned into a cursed object. Sukuna himself even confirms he isnt one at least twice at this point where the anime is. He even said it when he was hit with Mahoraga's blade. He basically says if i was a cursed spirit it would have killed me. Also Yuta used reverse cursed technique to heal maki and panda in chapter 0. So its not just Shoko and Sukuna who can use it on others

[@georgethehernandez]

Nick losing his cool about losing his edge, hilarious as hell!😂

nick saying “bye mahoraga, he’s gonneeee” is hilarious to manga readers😂

[@miskathonic]

@@denzelmarshall7324 I've never heard it phrased that way in my life. That sounds like it was passed through Google translate a few times.

[@jalahjava_]

Seeing the explosive end... I still wanna say i agree with Nick. It might not be the most profitable endeavor theyve done, but it's definitely my favorite of both of theirs xD

[@Alexanderfranksofficial]

I mean there is going to have to be (and for the record I do think it is underway but we are still far off) a change in consumer culture that says, "I don't care if my next anime episode is delayed or if the next season takes a long time to get to me. The treatment of these workers and them getting the compensation and healthy work conditions they deserve and need matters way more." Because the current consumer culture is what a lot of these major corporations base their practices off of in order to squeeze as much fast cash as they cant out of it and it is coming at the expense of their employees in very abusive ways.

[@AlexSciChannel]

I don't know why Nick keeps saying Sukuna is a cursed spirit. He's not. He's a reincarnated human. If he was a cursed spirit Mahoraga would've one shot him with the reverse cursed technique blade, but he didn't. Sukuna even comments in that scene how he himself is not a cursed spirit

[@lanevaught2841]

Sukuna actually became a cursed spirit at some point in the past. Maho didn’t one shot him because it technically struck yuji’s human body

[@lanevaught2841]

He’s the king of curses

[@AlexSciChannel]

@lanevaught2841 that's doesn't mean he's a cursed spirit. Sukuna himself admits he's not a cursed spirit in the most recent episode. Otherwise he wouldn't be able to use reverse cursed technique to heal megumi which curse spirits can't use.

[@darknesswave100]

​@@lanevaught2841sukuna isn't a cursed spirit. He was a human sorcerer who became a cursed object who then used Yuji's body as a vessel. He's called the King of Curses because of his ridiculous amount of cursed energy and his ability to wield it and the damage he inflicts. That name doesn't literally mean he's the king of actual curses

[@luceafarul5740]

​@@lanevaught2841 exactly, he's never stated to be the "king of curse spirits", he is stated to be the "king of curses". Curse energy and curse technique are the basis of the power system and he is the king of the power system due to his understanding of it

[@nirbanjyotidas5828]

Clarification 1. Sukuna is not a curse spirit ( he is more of a incarnate sorcerer) 2. No them changing shrine to kitchen is a mistranslation ( they correct it now) 3. A curse is stronger not cause of fear ( yes it plays a part in it) but they need to get stronger themselves by training and having sense of self 4. The other countries doesn't have CE cause of tangen barriers ( it's already explained in the manga) 5. Mahoraga's fight is important as it plays a big part in the upcoming arc( we all know what it is) so i doesn't think it was a wasted fight

[@HonestlyApollo]

I love when you name drop "bigger" channels that I've never heard of😂

[@saulvaladez6946]

Nick is so desperately trying to win his argument back

[@wasabishot1]

On Sukuna, I think it's cooking, other context clues include. Him saying 'time for a tasting' and the fire move when it lights the city end as a circle. A lot like a burner. Does the tasting quote happen in the manga, I don't remember

[@BankaiBoogie]

Pretty sure I dm'd Danny like 6 months ago asking this question and got no response soo.. thx for finally answering my questions 😅

[@chuuyaism1653]

[@broblerone413]

This entire episode was like Danny: What do you have? Nick: A KNIFE Danny: nO-

[@jmarti1997jm]

Took me a little bit to understand the ritual but from my understanding, megami summoned that shikigami because he wanted to beat Haruta in a last ditch effort because he was gonna die anyway. Correct me if that's wrong. I think that's a bit overkill but I get it. I'm more confused how sukuna was able to beat mahoraga. It didn't look like it was the domain expansion that killed him but the fuga technique

[@noventaeum]

Basically, what finally ended Mahoraga was the fire technique. Mahoraga can eventually adapt to any sort of attack thrown at him, so the only way to beat him is to end him before he adapts to something. So Sukuna used the fire, cuz he hadn't used it not even once against Mahoraga, meaning, Mahoraga wasn't ready for it.

[@itsjustvin7630]

​@@noventaeum Not just that but he also buried Mahoraga with multiple slashes from his domain beforehand so he was in the middle or regenerating

[@Ichisuitetsu]

Danny's flavor needs to be Piss Boy Lemon

Misinformation. Mappa did not lose a bunch of money on chainsawman. They were disappointed because it didnt do jjk season 1 numbers or better. They said this in an interview recently. It was still profitable and most anime dont make moneynon blue rays anymore so its an outdadted metric to go by
