Prepare to be swept away by the electric atmosphere of our latest discussion where the animation world meets expectations, diversity, and strategy. We're kicking off with a bang, tackling the buzz around the "Solo Leveling" anime, diving into the unique fusion of modernity and fantasy it promises. With the manhwa's legacy looming large, we dissect the initial episodes and the controversy it sparked, all while savoring the narrative craftsmanship that has fans on the edge of their seats.
As we spin the globe of animation, we land on the distinct artistic expressions of Korean, Japanese, and Chinese storytelling, such as the arresting "Fog Hill of the Five Elements." The debate heats up with a foray into the world of dubbing, where iconic shows like "My Hero Academia" and "Dragon Ball Z" join the fray. And if that's not enough to whet your appetite, the mention of Netflix's "Monsters" from the "One Piece" universe is sure to ignite a flame in the hearts of anime aficionados everywhere.
Finally, we anchor down in the influence of Korean content and Netflix's shrewd animation tactics that are reshaping our viewing traditions. From integrating anime marathons into fitness regimens to championing the power of women in the Korean show 'Siren,' we're unpacking it all. The discussion takes a wild turn to the zombie frenzy with "The Walking Dead," and we speculate on how streaming platforms could amplify superhero sagas. It's an episode packed with laughter, insight, and a sprinkle of The Wiggles – a true testament to the diverse palette of entertainment we can't get enough of.

Speaker 1:So lemon lime solo, no sugar.
Speaker 2:It's a lemon lime, solo bitter.
Speaker 1:It's a level up from the original solo.
Speaker 2:It's definitely not a level down. It's not a level down. Because you can't go from the bottom down to the bottom.
Speaker 1:No, once you put it right bottom, there's only one way to go Diagonally.

Speaker 2:Acidacy, acidacy, that's a Pokemon Acidity, sorry to me If you don't know, to my brain damage. Yep, let's talk about solo leveling guys. Yeah, just come out what a fucking.
Speaker 1:What an entrance to an anime. Honestly.
Speaker 2:I just want to say you know when an anime comes out like this Jinwoo. It's Jinwoo is good, but don't take my track, please. Yeah, woo, when a Manga is this hyped up? Yeah, 100%, for a year, I would say, I'd say a year yeah.
Speaker 1:It's been finished for like two years.
Speaker 2:Two years been finished, so you know I had a lot of big expectations.
Speaker 1:Yeah, as you should, as you should. Sometimes they don't pay off Yep 100%, but this time so far.
Speaker 2:So far I'm up to episode three.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Is two, but he's bred the Manga.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, I haven't watched episode three yet, but Okay so the leveling.
Speaker 2:Very good, very different.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I love the fantasy mixed in with modern-ish kind of shounen-y kind of vibe.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I guess it's its own kind of like Genre, genre.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And a lot of man was have branched off from this, from solo leveling success. There's a lot of man was in like out there these days from Korea, because solo leveling is first and foremost a Korean man was, which is just a manga, but man was colored and they are scroll reads. They're not. They're not right to left reads and not they scroll. Very good, very cool, very cool.
Speaker 2:Thank you for that fact.
Speaker 1:There's a. There was a lot of controversy leading up to solo leveling being animated. As you know, if you want something animated, you want a Japanese, like a Japan company, to animate it.
Speaker 2:It's like Obviously, obviously, you want to taco you go to a Mexican place. Yeah, you got to go to Italian place 100 percent.
Speaker 1:That's what that's. That's the thing I'm putting down. Yeah, but I'm solo leveling as a man was had a lot, of, a lot of negative things to say about Japan. Japan was portrayed as the enemy multiple times in the Manwa.
Speaker 2:Oh really.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so that's why I'm solo leveling. Took so long to get animated and that's why it's not the first Korean Webtoon to get animated. I mean like God of High School and Tower of God were. Tower of God was first, god of High School was a second, and now we're moving into a solo leveling. I don't know about any others that may have trickled in solo leveling is the best for me so far, yeah. Solo leveling is the highest selling Manwa all time Makes sense.
Speaker 2:It seems like it's got some good juicy shit in there that I'm ready to unpack. Hell yeah, eat that gum. The whole pack, five gum.
Speaker 1:Five gum. Yeah, feel the flavor. Feel the flavor. Yeah, flavor's been filled.
Speaker 2:Like a late night, late Um those days, late night, uh, thursdays, thursdays.
Speaker 1:Thursdays Burn off. Burn off If you know you know, if you know, you know, if you know, you know, if you know you know. But it's great. It's been great so far. Started off excellent. The first chapter ends on the creepy smiley face. If you know you know, but um, that went. That happened midway through episode two. So it's like kind of like the pace. I'm liking it, but I don't know if the pace is going to pick up after this, because apparently we're only getting 12 episodes Okay, so they're probably gonna jam some.
Speaker 2:They're gonna jam a lot of shit and jam some shit in bro.
Speaker 1:Yeah, there's gonna be. There's gonna be a lot of marshmallows coming in for the fluffy bunny. Do we find they?
Speaker 2:cut all this shit out of Japan. That'd be hilarious. Yeah they're gonna happen. I don't know, I can already imagine the community They'll be there we yeah, I can feel them.
Speaker 1:There'll be some things right now dude, 100% I can feel those fucking keyboard, fingers fucking. Some opinionators, some people with opinions, I don't know about it.
Speaker 2:I do know about the history of Japan and Korea.
Speaker 1:Yeah, not the yeah what was said. Yeah, I don't know about what I don't know about what the.
Speaker 2:The manga was said. Anyways, I'll enjoy it if it comes up. If not, you can feel me pretty funny.
Speaker 1:We're pretty funny loving that they're keeping the Korean names to Song. Yeah, that's cool, yeah.
Speaker 2:I feel like they spoke Korean to An episode three.
Speaker 1:Oh, oh, the scene between.
Speaker 2:Like the back, what do you call it flashback? Flashback of him and his mom and his sister. Oh, did she get sick? Yep, sorry guys. Spoiler this will come out after episode, like on Thursday. Yeah, yeah, you have time to watch episode three.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you'll be ready, you'll be ready. Solo leveling is, like that's not even like that bad you find it's a crash crunchy wall win a first game out, so a lot of people watching it, get on.

Speaker 1:It's like a Samsung phone. It's like a Samsung Galaxy man, oh god. Like 71, like back in the days you dropped it. Fucking battery goes everywhere it's. It was so like demoralizing and like just you really feel down if your phone falls out of your pocket and your battery starts flipping around On the concrete or wherever you are, it's like if you get knocked out and your pants get pulled down at the same time.
Speaker 1:Literally, it is not good and, like you know, you don't just like a quick pickup, it's like a down, crouched down on your knees.

Speaker 1:Hmm, never been on a segue.
Speaker 2:I've been on one of those little you know boards. Yeah, it's kind of like a segue, I guess.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, same thing, yeah just doesn't ever handle the whole. Yeah, so I love the old version. We should go segueing one time?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'd love that. I love segueing about segues. Poor blart, more cop. Do you guys just feel like you got gas lit? Cuz did? That's the end of the podcast.

Speaker 2:This is right, lemon 54, and that's amazing and we appreciate you to make it to you, my cousin. So back on solo, leveling solo. What a show.
Speaker 1:Yeah yeah.
Speaker 2:So yeah, I think I Heard some come, some need us, that's all. That's definitely Korean, and I'm pretty sure that's Korean. Yeah so I don't know if they were some leader. I don't know if they just did you between the family and then it was like yeah, he's Korean, yep Um I. But anyways, it's yeah, look out for it. I don't think.
Speaker 1:I would mind. If it was in Korea, I would either.
Speaker 2:I would mind but I guess Japan is the major Audience that watches that way. Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, cuz like you look at, chinese anime is like animation styles way different, yeah, but immaculate, very cool it's. I think it's the the five elements on fog hill. That was like one of the first Chinese enemies that came out and it was like I need to watch it so good. Hmm, so exceptional. Season 2 just came out mm-hmm end of last year.
Speaker 1:Good, great, okay, good shit. Good animation, good fight scenes. It's just like for a lot of people that watch anime, getting into an anime that has a different language. It kind of just feels like you're watching dub for the first time. Yeah, I get, you know, I get it sounds weird, but the more you listen, obviously you get used to it. Some of our people still listen to dub. Yeah.
Speaker 2:Fair enough, looking at you can't do it looking at you can't do it, but congratulations.
Speaker 1:You know it's can get to you wherever you are.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I just puts me off, man puts me at least a watchdog. Yeah, yeah. And you used to look at me and be like, why do you watch dog?
Speaker 1:It was my hero, though they did it for you, like I said, yeah, it's Deku's voice tried, and so I hated. I hate my hero to Academy's dub voice actors yeah they're all like oh my yeah, yeah, it's so.
Speaker 2:Can they not talk like normal people?
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, like I don't mind dub, it's just like yeah, there's some actually in my saga, season two, was okay.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but I think that's because I can imagine them having voices like that if that makes sense where, like some of the other ones, like I can't, I could imagine that my hero is too, but there's like a do really good with their dub voice actors, their choices.
Speaker 1:Yeah you know like we have demon slayer, not bad.
Speaker 2:Yes, I know it. Oh, very good, I'm just a jujutsu kaisen, but I've heard it's good yeah jujutsu, either dragon ball z. Exceptional. I just go to.
Speaker 1:I would have to, like I have to watch dub. Yeah, go talk, number one.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I can't go. Cute voice irritate to me in Japanese. I just can't imagine it.
Speaker 1:Sorry, I like I love Vegeta's voice and pick a loads voice in Japanese.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they're very deep yeah but so is the dub pick a lot. I know it's hard for me.
Speaker 1:Yeah, pick a lot is just like I don't know. Pick a lot is definitely one of my most favorite.
Speaker 2:Like the Vegeta English one is like really good iconic you know it's like you know it, you know it, you know it. Anyway, solo, leveling, solo. There's a level and it's solo Um. First three episodes are good. Let's uh, it's kind of there, um, no, um, yeah well, we got it we got some other stuff.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you guys know it's good stuff.
Speaker 2:We'll watch it.
Speaker 1:Let us know. We'll leave a couple. We'll watch a couple episodes. Yeah, come back with what we think later on, like jujutsu kaisen. Yeah, haven't come back, we will come back. We will come back because I feel, like, um jujutsu, there's a lot to unpack. And it's gonna it's gonna take a while, like the last episode I was ten minute, I'm not gonna go on it, we'll go into another episode.
Speaker 1:Yeah, this would be kind of like one of our one-piece episodes where we kind of unpack solo leveling and then maybe yeah, just cause you just have we'll need that for jujutsu, because that shit was like exceptional Iconic Yep, good shit. And the last episode kind of confused me, but that's okay. Yeah, that's all right, you'll get back to it. You're after we watch it again. Yeah, um, what else has been coming out? Will monsters?
Speaker 2:we got monsters coming out this is didn't know I was coming out tomorrow, so that's we can cut into some a bit of one piece. If you want to finish up, we've got a bit of one-piece news. Yeah we can talk about. So monsters is coming out on Netflix. Yep, and that's created by odor. Yeah, and he created before one piece, didn't he like? It was like yeah yeah.
Speaker 1:I'm not sure if it's connected to the Universal he had a lot of one-shot mungers, got you that kind of like interlocked Into romance dawn, yeah, which was this, the original one piece. But then one piece became what? It is today, yeah, and those one shots kind of just have been gaining Momentum lately, especially this one monsters, because it's about what's his name? He's the user of shi sui in One piece, it's like from way no mm the god of samurai. Pretty much, but I forgot his name. Forgot his name.
Speaker 2:I don't know. Offdome but is he? It is about him, it's about him, okay, cool, so it's kind of connected.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's definitely connected.
Speaker 2:It's definitely connected.
Speaker 1:It's a it's a prequel, so it's like way back in time.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay, I have to watch that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we definitely have to.
Speaker 2:We definitely have to watch that once you get into one piece, you cannot watch anything connected to the one piece universe. Well, this is. This is the first.
Speaker 1:Yeah, one piece pretty keen, pretty keen pretty keen, so that's coming out on Netflix.
Speaker 2:This would be what's this Monday, so if you're watching, this will come out on Thursday night. Hmm, so it should already be here to be out. I don't know how many episodes in a release.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, I haven't dug too deep into it. Yeah, it's coming.
Speaker 2:So it could be fun if you want something to watch about one piece. If you haven't watched one piece yet, that's kind of cool. That's kind of cool to watch a prequel series and then go watch one piece and then you're gonna eat up. Once you get there.
Speaker 1:Yeah. So I don't think it's gonna have a lot of Like callbacks or call forward for one piece, but we'll see. We'll just have to wait and see. I haven't looked too much into it.
Speaker 2:I don't want to spoil myself, yep.
Speaker 1:So a lot of the time I read a lot of mungus. So when stuff like this comes along, it's like it's good, it's refreshing. Yep, get you back into it. Yeah, it's back in the zone back in the zone.
Speaker 2:I'm a zone. Yeah, another thing about one piece that. I thought was kind of weird. That people getting upset about is they're remaking the one piece series. I don't know if you've heard about this the not really making reanimating good one piece series. At wit studios gonna be doing it, yeah, and it's gonna be coming out on Netflix, so they're doing the whole thing.
Speaker 1:So, yeah, well, netflix has gained the rights to one piece. Oh, that's why the new season cuz.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so also the new season of one piece is coming out on Netflix.
Speaker 1:It like week by week, week by week. So egghead is getting done. I through Netflix. It's gonna be on Crunchyroll and stuff and your usuals, but like Netflix has the primary rights to One Piece now.
Speaker 2:Pretty cool. Yeah, I think it's cool.
Speaker 1:It's cool Like yeah, they made a lot of money for from One Piece and if you are, if you haven't watched One Piece right, perfect opportunity.
Speaker 2:Once this new series comes out, like because you'll be, all of it will be reanimated, so you don't have to go back and watch like because I did that. It was rough watching East Blue, yeah.
Speaker 1:East Blue is rough. You're better off watching the movie, hey yeah, I think so.
Speaker 2:I think so, although you do miss a little, like some stuff, there's a lot of like niche stuff, like a little some niche fun stuff.
Speaker 1:I think you yeah, you miss out on like some boats, bonchan, you know yeah 100% like when you watch on the East Blue saga.
Speaker 2:And is he in East Blue saga?
Speaker 1:no, he's in um, he's just crocodile alabaster, alabaster in the alabaster movie.
Speaker 2:They kind of like I don't know if, like they skip over it, they miss a lot.
Speaker 1:They do the same thing in the Skypea arc yeah, that movie they skipped a lot, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:So I watched the Skypea one, two and I was like that's missing a lot yeah, yeah, you can tell too watching it, yeah so yeah, if you're new to One Piece, you haven't watched it yet.
Speaker 1:Maybe just wait maybe, yeah, maybe just wait and then you can kind of enjoy it weekly yeah like I don't know if they didn't do it weekly or just gonna release a season yeah, they probably do. Hopefully they do just like release a season. That'd be cool, yeah, cuz then you don't feel overwhelmed yeah, I think that's surely that's what they're doing. That's a Netflix thing too is like a binge, yeah. So yeah, for sure, why not do it? Yeah, get on the one piece train guys.
Speaker 2:Netflix is making moves and animation back behind the back behind, like two episodes oh yeah, yeah, I stopped after we on a kid.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we're on a kid. Yeah, I stopped after way no, like the final episode of way no, I've just been kind of oh, so you're the same with me? Yeah, yeah, I haven't really been watching it, just kind of like taking a back foot. Yeah, you know there's other stuff that I want to watch, like juju to solo leveling, yeah it's not hard to catch up on One Piece.
Speaker 2:No, no, once you. Yeah, it's not hard, guys, it's not hard once you made it past a thousand. It's not, it's all hard, so stop complaining. You're there. You're there, get on your. You know it's a good idea. Came up with it. Watch it on. If I do some exercising right yeah if you're like you know I need a bit exercise, grab a treadmill, put, put episode one piece on and just watch it pedal and watch it as you go and then you've done what?
Speaker 2:30 minutes yep, you've burned a Snickers bar off you've burned a Snickers bar if you want to watch two episodes two Snickers, bars two. Snickers bars. That's a lot of calories. That's a lot of calories. And if you can do that every day, mm. If you watch one episode a day, yeah, we finish it by no, you need to watch more than yeah, yeah yeah, you might have finished some East Blue yeah, you need to watch, like I think I was watching.
Speaker 2:Like gotta be 8 to 10 a day, yeah, but skipping some buffers shit yeah yeah, cuz trim the fat. Sometimes you watch some episode you know like this is an important at all. Cuz doesn't highway add like I know they add like heaps of like filler episodes.
Speaker 1:Yeah, especially in the early stages and with one piece. One piece is very much like you watch the episode cool, next episode half that last episode is in there, and then you're only really watching 10 minutes of new stuff yeah so you can. Yeah, there's a lot of like fat that can be trimmed.
Speaker 2:Yeah, off the pork belly wait, netflix, you should sponsor us. By how much?
Speaker 1:we fucking talk about one piece, bro, you're like man the amount of the amount of times we've said for Netflix, like Netflix to sponsor us, because we're chatting about Netflix and how good it is yeah shit they're giving us bullshit, man like come on man yeah, come on, come on Netflix. Yeah, give us a fucking I get a big core, throw me a bone. Yeah, throw me a bone.
