I love when Joey does games. Anime A-Z, Anime Openings, Real or Fake Anime, Anime Eyes Challenge, etc. They are all good, and he shines as a host.

[@aohige]

I am constantly triggered by how many facts Joey gets wrong about manga though. In almost every single video he mentions manga and its magazines he gets the magazines wrong. He has less than 50% accuracy for crying out loud. For example in this video he says ToLOVEru Darkness is Jump+ (the online web magazine). It's not. It ran in Jump SQUARE, a seasonal sister magazine to Jump. And Rave wasn't on Champion, almost nothing popular is. It ran in Shonen Magazine, just like other Mashima works. In fact he does this a lot, mixing up Champion and Magazine, and almost every time he's said Champion in the past videos it was wrong. I know this is a nitpick to vast majority of viewers, but as a manga buff it triggers me lol.

Truee the raid after this stream on his twitch was funn

[@MysticCat21]

fun fact: in NGNL, they did play othello. They were trying to get the elf chick's cooperation when fighting the furries, so they played othello where they bet each others' memories/existence, which is why Sora vanished for a while. But shiro won the game in the end and he returned. But the real fun facts is that: - Garnt doesn't remember the othello scenes, and says he knows best cuz he wrote NGNL Abridged. - Indeed, NGNL abridged doesn't include the othello scenes - BUT, the script of NGNL Abridged says: Shiro: Brother! You're back! Why did you disappear? Sora: I literally don't even remember! And neither does anyone watching this! So yeah, Garnt predicted the fact that he, and everyone else in the anime community, would forget the othello scene xD

[@sericsson1996]

As a wise Grant once said... life imitates art!

[@Veronicz]

It was probably more like he forgot the scene, and maybe other ppl he knew didn't know, which is why he included the joke. So it's not really a prediction. I do wonder how many ppl don't remember it, bc I remembered the whole scene (and it's probably been over 6 years since I saw the show).

[@HollowPurple-if2co]

@@Veronicz I completely blanked that one from my mind

[@siliconhawk]

conspiracy theory, maybe ngnl deleted our memories of the game.

It's also a HUGE moment of tension and unease and I'm honestly so confused they could forget about it. There are certain moments that stick out, like the reality word game or the big isekai/gaming thing at the end and the Othello moment is right up there for me.

I mean even if it wasn't true for the SAO author, age does make a big difference when someone's telling a story. Eragon is a prime example. Dude was super young when he wrote that and you can absolutely feel it. That and his inexperience as a writer in general, I suppose. Shit, I mean the book's title is literally just Dragon, with the D shifted one letter to the right and the good king gets dethroned via kick to the nuts. LITERALLY. Even 26 seems a little young to think up a full separate universe with its own rules and a story that weaves inbetween those.

[@diehard7517]

@@dowfreak7 It isn’t true for SAO author. Reki Kawahara is 48, first volume of SAO was published in 2002. Christopher Paolini is a prime example of nepotism. The only reason he was published is because his parents own a publishing house. I don’t know,Rebecca Kuang published Poppy War when she was in her early twenties. And, while I didn’t like the novel, I think the worldbuilding and story were alright. It’s the weak character writing and cheap anime-style tropes that made me drop the book.

[@darkhelliadarkfire6109]

I will never consider SAO to be an Isekai anime for the simple fact that the people that get trapped in the Aincrad game only have their minds trapped and once the game is cleared the survivors wake up and return to "normal life". An isekai is either defined by a person or people dying and having their souls be transported or reincarnated to another world or being physically transported or summoned to another world and for the most part being unable to return to their original world. Log Horizon is an Isekai because all those players were physically transported and stuck in another world that had similarities to the game they were playing when the mass summoning occured. Another two anime I am firm in the belief aren't Isekai is the entire Digimon franchise because the Digital World is still part of the character's main world but is just part of the internet or network and also most of the digimon series' have parts that take place in the human world so the characters are not trapped in the digital world forever. And also InuYasha is not an isekai because Kagome is still on the same planet in the same country except she's 500 years in the past, sure there are "fantasy" elements but for the most part I would classify InuYasha as a romance, action, adventure, time travel, supernatural, historical anime not an isekai.

[@haatothetomato]

Rather tham technically not an isekai, I would agree that SAO is Spirtually not an isekai for the same reason, because that is what actually matters. The point of Isekai is less "The New World" but rather "The New Life" and putting someone in a new world is a way for someone to have a "New Life" even without reincarnation/cheats/character creation.etc. Whether Reincarnation, Transmigration, Summoning, Memory Insertion or whatever, what matters is the blank slate: The New Game. Reincarnating in an alternate modern world and joining a prestigious academy for young actors to enter the 'world' of showbiz can be an Isekai, Timetraveling to ones younger self to do the same is adjacent and hits the same 'spot' but not an Isekai due to retained attachments and future knowledge that change the genre slightly to Second chance time travel. Aincrad is not a 'new game' but at best a hardcore mode side story dlc that can't be interrupted where players need to finish and return to their regular game before they are killed or their battery runs out otherwise the full 'game' of their life permanently ends. Since the 'battery' that is their body slowly drains without charging while in Aincrad, the audience has never been under the impression that they will stay within as if its a new life, nor was there ever any question that the main characters would try to leave or die trying. Yes it is a life changing long term get-away group experience, but its fleeting, bittersweet, and gave more PTSD then the main characters would have liked. Aincrad was a Death game marathon against the clock that would have otherwise been an enjoyable dlc to their lives and has more in common with other death games, rather than isekai. We all knew they would either die or return to their lives a few years out of date and atrophied, as pegs too sharp and oddly shaped to fit in the flushed holes they left behind within collectavist japanese society.

Garnt is getting a back surgery for carrying the entire game lol🤭

I've never felt more patriotic before. SEA gang let's gooooo

[@NaNa-wy2tk]

They were shading SEA in a joking manner. Read between the lines. What's there to be proud of, it's just embarrassing that they're aware of SEA's rabid behavior on the internet.

[@MetronaJ]

@@NaNa-wy2tk look we are just happy people are talking about us, even if its shade :v

[@NaNa-wy2tk]

@@MetronaJ get some self respect and don't be desperate for non-sea validation.

Whooo rise up SEA gang!

Joey rocking more rings than a Irish gypsy on a night out. But low-key actually rocks it.

[@haziq3251]

watching jonathan aint enough when you missed the stream

[@wittawinjiang1198]

You can watch it on twitch replay

19:14 Garnt casually slipping in a Bertoldt impersonation

[@andrewpappas9311]

I honestly had no idea that these guys had a Twitch, I'll definitely check it out next time

[@sonicfan11o9]

The irony that everyone, including myself who watched the series like 10 times, forgot about the othello game where they were literally betting their existence and memories...Just lmao. To be fair though, it did sort of take a backseat to Shiro's depression imo. Texas Hold Em did get me confused for a moment because I knew they played some kind of card/casino game, but im not well-versed in those.

[@Rizwaan122]

Love how for question 12 all the chat was laughing at Connor saying "it's berserk obviously" then garnt goes yh its vinland saga 100%

[@MattFromHawaii]

I know that yellow was the king's favorite color (Thailand), so a lot of Thai people 'like' the color yellow cause it represents the royals' favorite color. That's probably why Garnt's mom dyed her walls yellow. Idk about the new king, but I'd assume he doesn't want to change the color. A lot of my Thai friends gave me lots of yellow tshirts that says we love our king in Thai and I still have them from years ago lol maybe over a decade 💛

[@niftyiskristy2355]

It’s always a pleasant surprise to see an After Dark episode randomly posted 😌

[@junktion]

Didn’t Connor voice in the dub of Serei Gensuki? How did he not know it was an anime adaptation

[@jimmyjeff1777]

This video probably came out a while before the dub did

[@lawrencemasula]

As a Filipino myself, I felt really happy when Connor said he love me.

[@Meuduso1]

Not gonna lie, this was fucking awesome, even watching it after the fact on KZbin Well done boys and especially well done Joey Btw I got one right that I actually knew which was the Quints one because it's the series that pulled me into the shitty romcom rabbit hole that I can't fucking get out of no matter how bad the works are

[@smnghmn]

I love the fact that Garnt says they didn't play othello because it is not mentioned in his abridged series, but in NGNL in minutes he skipped that part saying nobody understands it anyway

[@Nielssie0420]

1:16:00 I like how Connor actually voices in Spirit Chronicles right now lol

[@FumioIzumi]

love that if this is not a teamwork, the L connor will take is huge...

[@Peayyyyy]

And the best supporting roles on this episode goes to *Drumroll* : Corner-san!! Congratulations on doing almost nothing 😂😂😂👏👏👏

[@jackandjillif]

Giggarnt: "I think this came out in 2008" Connair: "Oh shit, it came out in the 90s???"

[@notzay9105]

Connor is literally Okuyasu. "YOU MUST BE TRYING TO TRICK ME!!!"

[@rageyuter]

Can we apretiate the fact that if SAO is an isekai (not saying is not), then Digimon is also an isekai.

[@Shadowserpant00]

Digimon is an isekai either way lol

[@aghadlarhen9397]

If we're splitting hairs and being SUPER technical, even if SAO isn't considered an isekai, Digimon is still an isekai cause the kids are physically transported to the digital world; mind, body and all.

[@s3curityfr34k]

We used to have brown floor tiles in our bathroom. Not gonna lie, that was the most beautiful bathroom I have personally been in. And you can definitely see if the floor is dirty.. Our toilet is yellow though that thing looks awful

[@jagerbager2212]

Coming back and watching this conner is actually in spirit chronicles now 😂

[@BakiSenshi]

I like how Garnt strains to get Rave Master Final Answer and Connor "To Love-ru!" gut feeling. And at the end "We did it" this reminded me of Monster Hunter World.

[@oldcowbb]

this is the most aggressive product placement i've ever seen, they have to mention them for ever damn question

[@pixelguy9922]

Connor referencing the avokado sketch shows that he is indeed a man of great taste
