Solo Leveling Is FINALLY Good?!? - Otakus Anonymous Episode #58

Danny: "Is there a way you can make it both shorter and gayer?" Barber: "Say no more"

In solo leveling I am pretty sure he is not able to bank full recoveries. the full recoveries only can be used for that day, after complete his workout.

[@Darkstone13]

You’re right, it’s a daily resource that expires if not used before completing the next daily quest. Also, they will go away once he is stronger

[@azrazerz1445]

I also think he stops receiving rewards from the daily quest or it’s less rewards at a certain point.

Dragon ball is going to be done by toyotaro who actually helped create the last few arcs and even created the previous arc before the movie with toriyama’s help as granola ultra ego vegeta and the final draft of the storyline (rough draft being toriyama’s) are his work. Toriyama has been preparing Toyotaro to take over since he hired him from his fan made manga dragon ball AF 💯( there were 3 writers for Dragon ball AF however Toyotaro created Xicor which made dragon ball AF blow up and catch toriyama sensei attention)

[@ravenheartink]

My headphones connected randomly to my computer at min 52:00 and went silent for a bit, so I only saw Danny moving his arms around in silence. For a moment I thought there was real beef and they muted the show hahaha

[@pathfinderGM]

I'm nearly certain that the full restores for solo leveling is capped at once per day. So if he doesn't use his daily reward that day then it fades away. They don't stack up.

[@TheScumMonkey]

“Goku is this mountain of a man” He’s literally 5’9” and Vegeta is 5’5” they’re a couple of short kings

[@jdelly30]

I thought the same thing crucial arc

[@user-zr9rk7yb9h]

He doesn’t have stacked full recovery’s he just gets 1 a day, that’s why you’ve never seen him use it more than once in a fight. It wouldn’t make sense if he can just have like 10+ full recovers and an example of this is in his Cerberus fight he used it once and then has to look for new ways to recover such as buying potions from the store and there isn’t an excuse of him not having any stacked up since he took like 2-3 days of before going into the s rank gate

[@darknesswave100]

Yeah I hate it when people don't pay attention to obvious stuff. He's only ever used it once a day. There's literally no time in the entirety of the manwha where he uses more than one. Like for people that talk about stuff they don't do their research half the time

[@thomasffrench3639]

I think that the reason why Batman doesn’t kill isn’t only just morality, but because one he kills, he is nothing but an angry rich person who kills criminals out of revenge.

[@Retro_Rejects]

It's unfortunate that it's not getting more coverage and popularity, but "To your eternity" is a killer anime.

[@eduardoarzola7544]

What i find to be a positive to them aging at a normal rate instead of anime rate would be that Naruto and Sasuke's relationship would make more sense, like in the cannon story I believe they only interact with one another only a couple of years. Imagine if they both actually stayed in a team for a good couple of years, Naruto's need to save Sasuke would make much more sense.

Imagine thinking Dragon Ball was only good because of his editors. The reason why Dragon Ball is a masterpiece is mostly due to Akira Toriyama. Also he made RPGs mainstream with Dragon Quest artwork.

[@Dontdoit_]

FF literally started as a copy paste of that series as well

[@thomasffrench3639]

@@Dontdoit_ They are almost entirely different. The only one it is similar to is Dragon Quest III, which came out afterwards, but I doubt it was the other around either. They were both inspired by Ultima III

[@machopewell7026]

Hear me out Naruto movies Movie 1: prolog -> forest of death can be done in 2.5 hours and it ends on the "kabuto is a bad guy" hook Movie 2: fighting tournament - konoha crush also 2 hours Movie 3: search for Tsunade and Sasuke retrieval arc can be stuffed into 2.5 hours Movie 4: kazekage rescue and Sasuke Hunt arcs 2.5 hours (3 hour maximum) Movie 5: hidan and kakuzu and the The Master’s Prophecy and Vengeance arcs (with the end being the beginning of jiraiya's infiltration of the hidden rain)3 hour max Movie 6: jiraiya v pain fight and pains assault (The Two Saviors arc) 2.5 hours easy Movie 7: 5 kage summit and the beginning of the 4 great shinobi war (including the Sasuke stuff and Naruto making friends with Kurama) needs the 3 hours IMO Movie 8: the meat of the 4th GSW ending at madara becomes the 10 tail jinchuriki 2.5 hours Movie 9: main jibidara fight and that leads into the final fight of Naruto 2.5 hours Movie 10: live action Naruto the last . Any tweaks anyone thinks are needed?

[@cheyennemoore8380]

This is my fav breakdown so far so I hope these are it, but I'm setting my expectations rock bottom. I'll be happy to get prologue, build up as team 7 and land of waves arc in the one. Done well.

[@Alexanderfranksofficial]

I find with dub vs sub in anime. Sub I find is better consistently with voices that match with the characters (for the most part) and is a smoother sound. However Dub I find has better epic moments due to line modifications depending on how much creative freedom is given to the dubbing team and of course acknowledging there are lines that to an english speaker just hits the ear better. Like SK8 The Infinity dub being a great example but also Attack On Titan to this day the line modification Eren had when fighting Reiner for the first time and changing the line about, "You shouldn't taught me how to fight," to "Wanna eradicate humanity? Maybe next time don't teach me how to kick your ass!" is still the most epic line I have heard in anime dub or sub.

[@tmiller12051]

I'm watching Frreeirrin in dub and the dub is fantastic Edit: The VO from Stank broke me lmao haha

[@jaredtheastralartist2510]

In my perspective I’ve only ever watched things in dub. Cus I think the writing in the dub is way better and can fit the scenes a lot better. Like for serious scenes, or comedy. Plus I love the performance of the va’s and a lot of anime really benefit from a dub. Like I don’t think there’s a single person who watched panty and stocking in sub and not dub. Cus in dub it’s STRICTLY better. Also Shangra-la frontier is popping of and I love it

[@bigred3x1]

The light novel does give more details to the side characters in the earlier chapters so I think the anime is a combo of both the manga and light novel

[@serpaservicess1568]

he made super because he HATED dragonball evolution

[@kgblackout1]

I feel bad for the actor.

[@jjthewannabe5466]

The only reason I feel like the early setup is fine is because it reminds me in episode like 4 or 5 of jjk season 1 when we meet the villains, geto is talking about needing the prison realm and sealing gojo. That's all set up for shibuya that we dont get pay off until season 2 so I'm like oh yeah think of all that happened in between that and season 2. Makes it much more reasonable for me.

[@JacksonJonez]

The boys are back in town

[@dajtoad1]

I think you’ve misunderstood that full restore. He gets one per day - he cannot carry them over if he does not use them that day. When he’s used them, it’s because he did not use them earlier that day.

[@JrFFoo]

Long time fan for both of you guys new to the podcast parts tho I’m excited to see more content 🙌🤝

Nicks description of why he likes jjk (the overly explained abilities) is exactly why he needs to stick it out with jojo.

[@jeremyvasquez7506]

I have got to say one of my favorite Dragon Ball references from another anime was in Assassination Classroom when the kids find out that Koro-Sensei has a brother and they keep thinking of the Goku and Raditz occurrence.

Bruce Wayne does do a lot for the city. It can just never actually solve the problem because then there'd be no more Batman comics. It's like reverse Plot Armor. Failure Is The Only Option.

[@zeestar0112]

It's like when marvel released that one comic where If Peter Parker never became Spiderman, he'd be of equal status to Tony stark💀 Thing is, I feel like comics have the option to say "this is another universe, let's make a series out of these few concepts." Which is where the Ultimate(1610) Universe comes in

32:30 minor correction, Full Recovery Does not stack otherwise a certain Elf/Beast Tag Team would not go so poorly for him.

[@EXP493]

I actually really hope Nick gets the chance to be involved in the making of Naruto's live action adaptation. seeing what he can bring to the table as someone who understands to some degree what we as the audience want from a live action anime adaptation would be really exciting.

Fun fact Oda has stated if he stays with his family too long he'll stop writing one piece because he can't bear to leave them again but he has to finish

You guys talking about Solo Leveling reminds me of a few of my friends getting mad at me for "spoiling" that the main character gets a unique power to level up. In Solo Leveling.

Kaiju no.8 is soo fucking good I cannot wait to see it animated and so far the story just bangs

[@stanchyeti]

I've been reading the Light Novels for Solo Leveling and this added context that you guys talked about seems to be content from the light novels.

[@nzsaiantt]

I agree with you about Solo Leveling, but I read the web novel which I don't know if there are any differences from the manhwa. I think the check ins during the dungeons are annoying and are making the world feel lived in but also makes it feel like the story is dragging because of it. I'd also like a stat sheet at the end of each episode. That was super cool in the web novel to actually see his progression.

[@jennadisbury3634]

Nick being the Naruto guy but Danny being the movie guy really showed at the end there

[@bigoso3853]

[@cheyennemoore8380]

One Piece ending gives me the same feeling as Ash not being the protag in Pokemon. Idk what to feel. Wait. It acfually might have worked, Nick?! I need to know the end to that convo. And yes, kids are some of my favorite actors when done well. I'm with Danny, but if this guy Nick mentioned gets in he could probably be Asuma or Kakashi. My favorite DBZ ref is always Timmy Turner video game mode. But I remember and loved the Billy and Mandy one.

I think the negative connotations to cuvkolding generally refer to it when it's not consensual kink play but when it happens behind one partners back.. And as far as consensual cuckolding goes, I don't think most of them want to get rid of the stigma or shame implications because that is very much a part of the kink

[@ryanhfc]

I think it's really interesting that you say that sort of thing about JJK and comparing it to Solo Leveling. I'm a huge anime fan (of course, I wouldn't be watching this otherwise) but genuinely the animation quality barely even enters my mind, everything is just top notch to me so I don't even really have to think about it. I remember hearing people saying the animation in Naruto vs pain was bad and thinking "who cares, the fight was fucking amazing"

[@darknesswave100]

Yeah I've never understood that with people. Like how people with video games are so focused on fps and graphics. If it plays well and the story is good if its story based then who cares?

[@malevolentk1tch3n]

Will you know halfway through dragon ball Z of his other animators picked up the story for him. That's why the pacing and the story started to go down.

so I watched a manga recap like a few years ago on solo leveling which at the time I did not know anything about solo leveling but I remember Jin Woo I think that's how you spell it killing the prisoner I didint remember how he did it but I did remember it so in the anime I was like wasint he going to kill one of the prisoners
