The Five Figure Gacha King | Fake Fans #5

[@derf579111]

I did not go into debt for the record

[@rm_mxdj4245]

This is like the most relatable anime podcast. Between having a critical lack of understanding of JRPGs, not having watched all time classics like Eva or Akira, or talking about reading 10k+ chapters of shittily translated shity Chinese cultivation web-novels. I’ve truly never felt more at home lmao.

[@Alexcalibure]

They're called fake fans for a reason

[@duototreolife]

My favorite is them talking about how fast they read but they're not able to process what they're reading I'm like then slow down and read properly so you can retain some information

[@adam_antoise]

Scarra saying there are no modern turn based RPGs being made sent me 😂

[@aid4nski215]

there's literally Persona 3 Reload and Baldur's Gate 3, who won GOTY

[@AdamC2013]

Scarra sometimes says things, and with such confidence, it's better to just ride the wave XD

[@SDREHXC]

@@aid4nski215you aren’t exactly helping your case when you cite a remake of a near 20 year old game as a modern turn based rpg lmao They certainly exist and there is a market for it for sure, as evidenced by the swath of wannabe chrono trigger games that have come out in the past year or two. Idk why you said persona 3 though lmfao.

[@slinkypinky2012]

I like this style of podcast episodes, where it's manga/anime opinions sprinkled in with tangents about other topics or rl stuff. It's an easier format to consume cause it's laidback and we get to know the hosts better. Plus the tangents are manga/anime adjacent enough that it stays with the theme of the podcast as a whole. Don't be too critical of yourselves for straying off topic, it's still entertaining. Hope you don't get discouraged by comments on shorts or anything, it's a passionate community and you guys bring up good arguments to discuss. Good episode guys and looking forward to more "wrong" opinions lol

[@annojance]

Scarra is so real for admitting that he took on Kuro's trait of adjusting his glasses that way. The One Piece live action series actor for Kuro did such a good job. The entire casting for that show was so well done.

[@siddamo8256]

I'm here because I'm a hardcore fan. Got like more than 1000 manga read on mangadex

[@FakeFansPodcast]

real one

[@elementneon]

THANK YOU PETER @ starting One Piece back up, get at least to present day of anime. If I recall correctly, the entire Wano anime arc was 3 years in the making, which makes me *SO* happy that I did not start watching One Piece until last year, because it is so bingeable.

[@warninja288]

Scarra's idea of free-to-play is funny to me. I don't think most F2P players grind white artifacts like a job. I usually just log in for 30 minutes and then get off when the game tells me to.

[@PrinceMichixxx]

Bump. I literally paused at 23:00 because I was shocked. Roaming around for hours to collect the trash grey artifacts? The only explanation for that is because he genuinely enjoyed the game and the open world aspect. Not that because being f2p limited his progression to that. No way he thought that was an actual good use of his time back then.

[@lowbudgetgoblin]

yea, I just do the daily / weekly shit and check if there are free events, do them if there are and then log off

[@LejoTheAstro]

Scarra’s genshin artifact farming is an insane way to play. F2P can just use resin on the latest domain or get artifacts from quests. There are places you can buy green artifacts

[@iEppla]

You guys should check out the Manwha "Pick Me up" really cool rendering of Gatcha / Reincarnation. Seems like a mix of 2 worlds you guys enjoy.

[@22telo]

I found out you guys had a podcast through Fear& and I'm currently binging the episodes on Spotify and finally have the motivation to catch up with some manga 😭❤️

[@x5aber]

The solo leveling one is you roll for Jinwoo weapons, characters, and character weapons. You use jinwoo and other characters as support on 50% of the content and the other 50% is you use only other characters genshin style.

[@dapperdrifter5449]

Scarra: "I don't know if you've ever tried reading 3000 chapters of Chinese web novels" Me: *looks at how many chapters of Star Odyssey and Nine Star Hegemon Body Art I've read* "Uhhh, nope. Can't say I have."

[@Chonny2964]

Just wait til you delve into the wuxia novels and that rabbit hole LMAO

[@siddamo8256]

I've always wanted to get into tales of demons and gods, but the chapter count and artstyle turned me off

[@dapperdrifter5449]

@Chonny2964 I've been subbed to Wuxiaworld for years so I'm well down that hole

[@Chonny2964]

​@@dapperdrifter5449I can't read fr I read webnovels as webtoons

[@atlasstudios]

It's one of my fav comics. It's a pretty quick read, the chapters are split into 2 and are only a few pages each. Art style is fine IMO, but can't help with that

[@BrwnPowerRanger]

lmao the part of you guys trying to think of good turn based games when Baldurs gate 3 swept the game awards last year is too funny

[@Crytaljam]

This is a banger episode, more of this please. Would love to hear some old stories of gaming in the 2000s from Scarra

[@hollywishes]

I love love love Paprika! It's like anime inception - so good! Another great one was Summer Wars! Also I started watching anime with what was on Adult Swim - Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, Code Geass, Deathnote, FLCL - all bangers (though, I'm not a huge mech fan for Code Geass)

[@RealOGdessy]

I really like your guy’s podcast!and I feel like y’all are right when it comes to more of a hardcore audience will find you guys interesting because it I can understand exactly what y’all are talking about when it comes to like dumpster diving cause most mangas and manha do be trash but I still end up trying to understand why while reading😅

[@FilP71]

Fina fantasy tactics was an insanely good game. Really glad to hear you guys mentioned it. That brought back so many memory!

[@MrMustashio12]

Watched every single episode of the podcast and I have been loving it. Just not that many manga podcast out there. There are dozens of us manga fans out there

[@sleepinxonxbed]

I've literally spent all day today binging all 5 podcast episodes, please keep making more

[@AdamC2013]

Ah the speed reading art makes me so sad for the creatives but each to their own

[@Mahar3b]

started watching this podcast recently, binged all episodes in one day. love the content, ps I relate to scarra's manhwa readlist sm lol, the guilty pleasure is so good

[@OneSmolMistyBoi]

I was a slacker and didn't watch episode 4 until today morning. Now I get hit with this, can't wait to watch

[@turi8946]

Hi! Casual anime watcher/manga reader here

[@santiagowho]

God Chinese Novels(Like I Shall Seal The Heavens) are so amazing, I don't know what it is and several Korean ones also hit insane(Second Coming of Gluttony). But I barely could even pull myself away from those two among other great ones.

[@takanuva456]

Jjk has one of the most internally consistent power systems and this current arc is essentially the author showing how his power system fits together. I think the series is incredible, but it took several read throughs and being one of my more thorough weekly reads to really start enjoying this arc. When I read it more casually week to week with my other series, I did not enjoy it nearly as much (and sometimes didn’t enjoy it at all). This arc is jjks Chimera Ant Arc, where Shibuya was it’s Yorknew. Shibuya was super fast paced and easy to digest. The Culling Games is much more dense and painstakingly detailed Also, regarding Hakari’s domain, part of his domain expansion is a brain dump to confuse the enemy. I think the author was being a bit meta with his explanation to make the reader feel like his opponent does

[@kevinzhe3513]

kashimo, a guy from the ancient eras whos never heard of gacha in his life still somehow understood the domain before me, a literal gen z somehow.

[@KillerBee300]

Shorts are a different breed compared to the comments on your actual video.

[@JiooguProductions]

I remember reading psyren like 15 years(?) ago and kept thinking there would surely be an anime eventually.

[@RafikiafReKo]

To answer what kind of manga reader I am, I'm limited to mostly only physical. Something about reading on my phone or tablet doesn't do it for me. A series I haven't heard you talk about yet is Witch Hat Atelier which has probably the best magic system and increadable world. It is a bit slow and not a typical shounen, but it focuses on magic as a science and the world is also created so you feel unease through every perspective.

[@Seregy7]

I'd love to see watchalongs for the classics like Evangelion or Akira. And watching the reaction to some episodes of popular titles you didn't really like(e.g. Steins Gate) could be fun as well

[@LoneWolfOtaku]

Honkai Star Rail respects your investment, time and money.

[@alchemist1122]

Please try reading 'Killer Pietro'. It's like John Wick, but a manhwa with a much better story and art. The fight scenes and the art are absolutely top tier!

[@shadygamerfreak]

I never really watched either of you guys before but this podcast is good and friendly for people who don't watch your other content/streams

[@dakuma]

Korean Manwha is intresting because solo leveling got so popular every other action manwha now is about some weakling guy with a bowl cut who awokes necromacy like the solo leveling MC, and has a gaming level screen that only he can see, and they all dress like the solo leveling MC Tho I recommend Debut or die, is a manwha about a guy who wakes up as some kid and now has to debut as an idol or he'll die its pretty fun

[@13Cro]

I want to hear your thoughts on Naruto! I haven’t read the manga, only seen the anime but big fan! Great pod so far!

[@Gentulman]

I remember seeing the results of a poll in Japan about an anime they wanted to see and Psyren was 1st

[@n-z0]

Hi Spotify listener here, just had to come by and check the comments because I heard the jrpg discussion, carry on

[@n-z0]

And I got an ad for Blue Archive mid-gacha discussion so we're on brand folks

[@Andrew_Daniel]

I am loving this podcast please keep uploading 🙏

[@tylersullivan3257]

I NEVERRRR hear people talk about MAR....one of the best imo

[@gg_mazino]

I wish to continue Air gear and Hitman reborn

[@danic3459]

Came expecting summoners war talk, got summoners war talk. Let's gooo New event for 10yr anniversary is crazy, worth checking out again if you ever liked the game

[@dapperdrifter5449]

Might check it out because I saw they're doing a free nat 5. Any thoughts on best nat 5 to take for a new player?

[@PlebianNoob]

Hearing Peter talk about reading One piece and then he will probably fall down the rabbit hole of the trading cards and gacha is like looking into a mirror of myself 6 months ago. Great series but I am running out of money.

[@urahakat]

A great food manhwa i love reading is Please Have a Meal. Mc is a chef that loses his sense of taste through an accident. A new VR is introduced as experiencing all of your senses or something and he decides to give it a shot. Horrible synopsis a much better read.

[@AMV_KINGDOM_mv]

I still play summoners war and i keep playing it i camebackfor the 10 years anniversary

[@JL_99]

Please don't change your genuine opinion because of negative comments. I just binge watch all your ep and I enjoyed it (came from watching the fear& ep). I may not always share the same opinion, have a sort of different moral compass, or dont relate to some topics and THAT'S OKAY. I find it more enjoyable to watch someone who shares some of my likes and dislikes but also has different preferences, rather than always having the same preferences as me. Also, short viewers and commenters DON'T ALWAYS translate to podcast viewers and commenters. Even trash taste gets harsh shorts comments and even reddit post. In our fandom there's always people like that. So guys are doing just fine.

[@kiidkif2009]

I spent on genshin, sssnaker, and infinite lagrange but then i decided to miss a day then a nxt day then a week, now it's been months since i played them and all i do now is watch othera play and its great 😂18:46

[@jay_bird83126]

I love One Piece, my favorite Anime and Manga, but it's so hard to recommend it to anyone, it's just one of those IPs you have to WANT to get into haha The Egghead Arc is absolutely PEAK OP though imo

[@jeffchan459]

Love this podcast excited to keep watching

[@kristenmelancon]

I stopped reading the jujitsu manga too. Even though its a huge fight i just wasnt comprehending it.

[@kunai92]

I just want to point out that Peter thinking Scarra was talking to an alien makes sense when you look at Scarra's sweater. My man was in the Andromeda galaxy trying to hunt down new manga to read.

[@DriftAngel]

yes! psyren and team medical dragon is so good!

[@cardkaizoku]

One Piece Card Game mentioned! Join ussss

[@idonotmakevidsyet]

Man Scarra's takes are wild.

[@_Slypi]

This might be a huge stretch, but the mangatuber Boogiesnacks would make for a killer guest. (Silver Spoon is one of his favorites)

[@raidgoblin6933]

bg3 legit won game of the year and its turn based. Also scarra is so damn cute lol

[@landonlp-1520]

i love this podcast

[@michaelhuang7007]

I like Honkai Star Rail far more than Genshin. I didn’t play at launch cuz I thought turn based would be boring - but it’s honestly quite fun. Not a game you play for hours every day but it’s fun if you pace yourself

[@SaltedAnimation]

holy shit, psyren mentioned goated

[@primedevil3883]

peter and a guest discuss romance manga/anime in podcast

[@odan49ak47]

I wonder if Peter know that monster hunter had a collab with raid shadow legend and the characters used armor and weapons from the game

[@kurosaki0046]

Peter should start reading the light novel of Tondemo Skill/Campfire Cooking in Another World (cuz the progression of the manga is just sooooooo slow)

[@Araxel100]

just here to say i love MxO was mentioned, I'm still sad about it getting axed

[@francisdionysius7172]

Who want to tell scarra best mobile game of 2023 was honkai star rail on android, apple and The game awards

[@ariefsantoso9066]

martial god reversal lvl 2 have no update from last month so maybe they update it once a month

[@DenverEight]

Welcome to five episodes.

[@4Gallego]

Ignore the negativity, this podcast is sick. Great Content!

[@colosusgodkong3833]

You guys should make syd a member or semi-permanent member if she can’t make it for every shot

[@criticaltipper7699]

episode 5 of me tuning in hoping they say were they read manga so I can start myself

[@ieMreteP]

I still play PAD! Just got mail with 10 free stones for hitting 3200 days played a couple days ago actually.

[@Deathstar0wannabe]

Peter should try dungeon meshi lol

[@GarryFPV]

Okay 5 figures on a gacha is insane

[@parrotwit]

Scarra never watch evangelion broke my heart .....

[@FakeFansPodcast]

this is gonna be his new homework

[@AlvinBryanAbun]

another day another sakamoto days plug

[@MoonDasher07734]

I recently watched a streamer go thru every single ff mainline single player, no sequels no spinoffs. FF games being 50-60 hrs long is an inflated nostalgia filled number. Half of the mainline FF is 30-40 hrs at best if you book the main storyline. Still lengthy thou as jrpg's or just video games go.

[@odan49ak47]

You know what ive already watch most of one peice i too will start ewadong the manga. Note ive never read manga anime is my preferred medium

[@inosens069]

the new eiyuuden chronicle is a good turn based jrpg

[@sanabachi]

If Peter plays langrisser it'll absolutely send me haha

[@Helz071]

One piece should be read weekly to know how insane Oda writes the story...

[@Naqraumor]

I want Scarra's sweater

[@nubcakeee]

Peter i still play PAD it's has all the ip collabs you can think of old mecha's anime sports curremt shonen one piece demon slayer monster hunter fighting games etc only difference is that jp gets like all of them na collabs are like 20%

[@Intellectual_Degenerate]

have you read LORD OF MYSTERIES its peak and highly recommend to anyone

[@luismiranda1854]

anyone knows the name of a manhwa or webtoon about MC drifting around in this very empty plains/world and it is all about killing colossus/titans? aery solitude but daunting vibe like shadow of colossus

[@Anidot787]

23:40 ngl i had the same opinion till I tried it and now i love the game

[@aryuuma]

Yo i'm so sorry but can you guys talk more about your favorite thing in manga/manhwa/manhua or any other thing than jjk powerscaling or domain expansion thing, it's been 5 week man and you guys still talk about it

[@shindo161]

Have either of you read cage of eden and if you have what do you think about it?

[@annojance]

The webtoon format definitely leads to quick scrolling. There's a high focus on aesthetic.

[@DuckTapeGuru]

Have you guys gone over a good way to read manga digitally?

[@KuzcoGX]

damn no wonder Peter stopped playing FF7R :(

[@annojance]

"3000 chapters of Chinese web novels " *Cue the flashbacks* Yes. And yes, the translation is often... lacking. Why was that guy called "Brian"? That wasn't his name for real right?

[@beantama_]

YESS the jjk eng translation is sooo bad rn like *SPOILERSSSSS* they said that yuji could use malevolent shrine when the original said he could use one of sukuna’s slicing attacks (i can’t remember from the top of my head)

[@Azrael-ty7gq]

The Couple Breaker

[@JL_99]

Grant and Josh the Manga Lad special guests when? 😂

[@Ryuku-Clips]

Garnt and Joey you mean? Or Connor?

[@Wilderxone]

if ur going into one piece trying to see "whats so hype about this" "why do ppl like it so much" ur only going to see the negetives.Go in with a sense of adventure, try to understand the politics from that world its the best I've ever come across. One piece for me is the best story ever told, if it wasn't tied to the stigma of manga this story wud be discussed in literary classes

[@7lolol]

I just wish Katekyo hitman reborn would get a reanimation

[@calebtu-do1133]

if you make it to chapter 1000 of OP u got to watch episode 1015 trust

[@DarrieusJohn]

For JJK it's better to read the TCBscans translations than the official ones cuz the official translation is SO bad and confusing.

[@yiyang4733]

I heard turning arc too lmao

[@solodolo7161]

Read the TCB Scans translations for JJK. Official is actually just wrong at this point most of the time.

[@applejuiceman]

i like this podcast very much

[@Boba_Fettuccine.]

TOP Anime = iCarly TOP Manga = Green Eggs and Ham TOP Setting = Narnia TOP Character = Scooby Doo
