Petition to have Danny be the first to speak in the cold open next week

[@NCHammer23]

he always has the option! he just doesnt take the intiative

[@theferg420]

I second this!!!!! Free danny

[@Swickedy]

Danny! plot a harsh cold open man

[@the_cheff_zeff3997]

​@NCHammer 23 what a Nick view of things 🤣👌💯 lmfaoooo but also such a danny trait 💀 one day this dream will come true but it's also just basically apart of the show now 🤣🤣🤣

[@seraph_rj5700]

1:08:52 im interested in Danny’s big little special thing. 😌

[@Fsecret]

That fan art looked like its drawer was trying to draw you two with quirks in My Hero Academia. He/she even give you your hero names. Loved the podcast.

[@Rose-yv5sf]

Lol thanks 🤣 hi I'm the artist it was pretty rushed. And I use she/they pronouns 💞

[@peppermintfables]

the idea that the worst part of isekai is the protagonist is super fascinating to me. I don't really watch a lot of isekai but I love portal fantasy, which obviously has some major things in common (even though they also have some very interesting differences. Like a main theme is portal fantasy is having to leave at the end, which is not the case when you get reincarnated). When I think of a typical portal fantasy main character I think of someone like Bastian Balthasar Bux from Neverending Story or Quentin Coldwater, from the magicians. Like it has to be a dude that sucks just the right amount, where he's obviously trying but making all the worst choices. Because the point of portal fantasy is getting to go to a different world, learning how to be better and then getting back and putting that into action. Im not all that familiar with many isekai protagonist but from what I hear it seems to me that it's attempting a similar thing with a normal dude with obvious flaws having to make the best of a second chance but they dont often manage to give him enough depth to make that chance meaningful or it just starts conflicting with the power fantasy aspect.

[@jakewalker9420]

It would seem as though Danny’s sudden decision to shave his arms would indicate his low key desire for Nick’s anime arm sleeve. Might I suggest starting with Rengoku’s “set your heart ablaze” bit. Something he seems passionate about and wrecked all our hearts while watching. Providing he discovers something hype regarding the iconic scene and engraved it on himself I would do the same. Touching Grass: Danny’s First Tattoo

[@anm8990]

Danny finnally shaved his arms 😱😱😱😱😱😱 , for some reason that was the first thing I saw entering this episode 🤣🤣🤣

[@anm8990]

Nick's passport photo looks like Cillian Murphy on drugs 🤣🤣😴🤣🤣🤣

[@MeisuMeisu23]

shounen, shoujo, seinen typically refer to the age/gender of the target audience, not the main character's age. So shounen is typically younger males and seinen older males, while shoujo is younger females and josei older females.

[@restlessguy5943]

Yeah, I was like "I'm pretty sure Parasyte is a seinen taking place in HS" lol

[@tejaswanivardhan7597]

I actually did not notice Danny's arms until they mentioned it

[@monikabobb5552]

I already miss the wigarms. I think it completes his Brooklyn esc look with the beard.

[@zollybrown6291]

The song you were singing that have that grunge is called Haruka Kanata!!! It’s one of my favorites!!

[@vaertni2257]

You guys are so sweet about your girlfriends, and it is the most adorable thing in this entire podcast. On another note, at 45:00, pirates irl were extremely progressive for their time. The most successful pirate in history was a gay Chinese woman named Ching Shih. She was known as the queen of pirates and commanded potentially 80,000 outlaws! She was once a prostitute, and married a male pirate captain, who died not long after leaving her to inherit the fleet. 1:09:00 So excited for Nausicaa! Nausicaa was my introduction to anime at like 2-years-old and it was my favorite movie for a long time!

[@aunyua5790]

I couldn’t pinpoint what was different about Danny, I was like “why is he…glowing?” and then i was like “oh he looks so smooth and soft in this lighting” and then “WAIT NO THE WIG ARMS😭”

[@GeeGee_Izzy]

All fairness to Nick, Danny - you looked amazing in the white banana shorts

[@groudon1326]

Holy shitt I just realized NC hammer stands for his initials 😂

[@redriot2506]

RIP wig arms, you will be missed

[@matte5705]

:(

[@Omega_Nova]

That Naruto opening is called Haruka Kanata by Animelmack. I love that song so much, you guys are so right😭

[@Rose-yv5sf]

Eeeee it's so strange to see that piece on the screen I love y'all so much

[@justda2ous]

It's so cool that I'm rewatching these and now I'm at the same spot in one piece that Nick was while recording

[@Landez97]

1:05:37 that drawing of Nick's pointy ass elbows makes him look like a Gallade😭

[@Rose-yv5sf]

Lol 😂

[@cheyennemoore8380]

Nick bashing the way books are meant to be read is inherently wrong. I like the accessibility of audio books and online media, but I can’t help but prefer the old school way of the tactile-ness of holding a book in my hands. The struggle of finding a good reading position only to lay heavy books open on a table is the best way in my opinion to experience that form of literature (but I also prefer audio while doing stuff). Danny is correct this week, sorry Nick. Also you guys knowing Garnt made me so happy. He’s actually Thai by the way. Lived in Europe and now japan, married to an American. Just for reference. You guys collaborating with Trash Taste (his podcast with his two best friends) would be epic.

[@brycetaylor2671]

I'm just gonna say it, Danny's shorts don't look that bad and are better than Nick's shorts

[@melissamgmstudios8269]

For Danny: the English VA for Hisoka is Keith Silverstein and the English VA for Adam is David Wald

[@jonsol8016]

Officially begging for one of these guys to watch/read Ascendance of a Bookworm. Isekai with an MC with an actual personality, zero sexuality, and an astounding style of world-building and conflict portrayal. Also, horrified that Danny caved and shaved the arms. Also, fearing additional screen time? Hisoka and Madara

[@samdavis1128]

Dam danny looking good in this maroon shorts fuhk it Danny wear them heirlooms baby!

[@h0bb1t322]

love this podcast

[@dr.bright87587]

first baby! im way to happy about that tbh. and by way to happy i mean im happy, which is not normal for me.

[@bloopityboop8434]

The Hell's Paradise OP is GREAT, and I will fight you on this. 🥊🥊

[@codydailey4130]

Favorite ending of Naruto is when they are like pushing design just walking across the screen 🤣

[@DrawnoutChase]

Yayy first I love you Danny woooooo also I mention danny shaving before he brought it up in live steam he'll yeah victory its rare for me

[@MrMartin_541]

thats the first thing i noticed

[@samdavis1128]

"I'm a full dick out amongst the dudes guy" 😂😂😂😂 I can relate

[@lightzthestarz]

Thank you for reminding me of Haruka Kanata form Naruto, shit is so good

[@MrWofli]

favourite opening is Again from FMAB or any of the other openings from brotherhood

[@flwrchldbeck]

I totally agree about how this premise sounded so unbelievably idiotic but I got completely sucked in.

[@jhmxk]

18:35 I agree with a lot of what is being said about isekai, but i dont think jobless is the best example of that. Yes rudeus is a perv but there is more to him than that. I feel like Nick was talking mostly about the 1st few episodes and not the entire show

[@LizardMan8675309]

50:20 “Hologram” from FMAB is hands down my favorite opening of all time

[@5001Fergies]

Nick just proving how goated his taste is saying angel beats is one of his favorite openings. I got goosebumps just thinking about it, that anime will always have a special place in my heart and the opening is easily my favorite of all time

[@bross2793]

There was a UFC fighter (the crow) that had elbows like Nick. I swear every fight he won was because they called it when his opponent's face wouldn't stop bleeding from elbow cuts.

There is an English cover of Unravel that is AMAZING. He also has an awesome English cover of Kickback.

Danny, you should check out Ace of the Diamond if you haven't already seen it.

[@aidenphilp-reid3743]

I started watching bisco cause you recommended it and omg it's phenomenal 😍😍

[@turtlepiece]

49:45 Now what I really want to see is y’all play a game where your hum out a theme song and have the other guess the anime. Or just have a segment where y’all try and sing OPs/EDs together.

Ey yo! Shoutout to Kissanime Hoshigaki of the hidden mist village. You saved a lot of us young dudes who grew up on Naruto and other classic shonen animes. Now we all grown up to afford crunchyroll😂

[@salty_fishcakes]

To answer the question about the CGI, I’m currently taking a computer animation class and yeah the computer can make it automatically smooth between key poses. In fact that’s the default. You have to turn it off if you don’t want that, at least in auto desk MAYA

[@raishado]

Haruka Kanata is that Naruto theme song. I used to have the OST from that period.

[@Sergio-wc1wn]

Jaya is definitely not a nothing arc in One Piece. Not only do we meet Blackbeard, we get Luffy vs Bellamy. It also is an incredibly important arc to the themes of One Piece.

[@johnnypollack3243]

Love the video and keep up the great work nick and Danny

[@JamesCPotter13]

My favorite opening, HANDS DOWN. One Reason, from Deadman Wonderland. Close second, Digimon Frontier Dub. Because the ENTIRE SONG IS GOOD, not just the part they include.

[@dragonquestfan2002]

I don't know how likely it is that you guys will see this but I'd highly recommend Danny watch Natsume Yuujinchou on his channel. It's an amazing series and I feel like his viewers could really get behind it

[@seraph_rj5700]

51:35 nick fully “speaks” to neutron like Christoff and Sven

[@stevenklimp4486]

I really said damn when Danny said he didn't have a love letter even though I sent him one almost a month ago.

[@calebtoles3819]

The problem child character that worries me every time I see them has to be Mahito from JJK. Between the extreme body horror, plus the child like glee he gets from mutilating people, and the fact that if you don’t have cursed energy you cannot see him coming. He’s a menace. You could quite literally be minding your own business and cross the street at the wrong time, Mahito will just decide “yeah, this will make a good people nugget” and that’s just the end of it. Absolutely terrifying to think about

[@humourlessjester3584]

Since you were in a mini rant about there's not much on HIDIVE, let me just put out the recommendation of Made in Abyss at ya. It won the anime of the year awards back in 2017, has a movie that aired in 2020 and now season 2 is there and that aired last year of 2022. HIDIVE isn't that great but its benefits are that a lot of anime that bigger services would be hesitant to air due to darker content is easier to access through there.

[@Dam1tDanny]

30min in I noticed Danny's arms, as I start to make this comment he points them out 😂. Love you guys thanks for opening me up to new anime

Hey it says that sabikui bisco is ongoing and has 7 vol till date. I am confused what are you even saying

[@5001Fergies]

For the berserk deluxe edition, i place it flat on my desk and just read it that way, which normally wouldnt work but since the books are so damn heavy they just naturally lay flat, i wouldnt dare try holding it for an entire sitting (ill read thru an entire deluxe volume in one session, so id be ridiculously sore 😂)

[@bryanponce5560]

Nic! Do you have to shave so your tattoos look better?

[@LizardMan8675309]

33:40 as someone who swam competitively and had to full body shave numerous times from middle school through college, elbows really aren’t that bad to shave, the back of the ankles is 1000% the worst to shave

[@2hy745]

i have watched this about seven ties and i always find a new back handed complement by nick every tyme

[@2hy745]

[@tenryuubito1]

Why did Danny shave his forearms if it's something he truly wanted to do nothing wrong with that but if it's because people bullied him to do it by making fun of him that's fucked up

Ok, imma say it. Mushoku Tensei would not be the same or as good without Rudy. Mushoku Tensei is a story about how the main character uses his second chance at life to become a better person. Yes the main character is a pervert in the beginning, because he was a pervert literally yesterday. Change doesn't happen over night, and Mushoku Tensei shows that. As the series progress we see Rudy maturing as a person. Becoming less perverted and more normal. Take out him and you just have an average cookie cuter fantasy. Mushoku Tensei is an iseki for a reason.
