Um, they like they do a lot more comedic stuff. Yeah, they do that, like cindy do a lot of that. Tanjiro with the little eyes yeah which I like.
Speaker 1:I think it's funny. I think it's hilarious, it breaks it up real good yeah, instead of man, I can't stand Zenitsu, bro, yeah his time's coming, though this is like this is the arc where switch? You know what I mean?
Speaker 2:well, he stops being like a pussy, yeah, the whole way through, though huh, uh, it's because you know how he's sick when he's like in his mode, yeah, like when he's not, when he's in like sleeping mode yeah, nah, something real huge happens in zenitsu's life and he just like completely serious, like he.
Speaker 1:Just he just becomes complete serious and like, damn son. Yeah, like, obviously there's the funny parts. There's the funny parts like Once Tanjiro catches up to them Cause they're. Him and Inosuke are ahead.
Speaker 2:Oh, they're already training, they're already ahead, yeah.
Speaker 1:When Tanjiro catches up with them he's still a bit of a, but then he Like finds out some shit, and then it's just like he's, like he's like, let's go. Yeah, yeah, and he's just like it's on for hell. And then, yeah, next season will be the big, big fight, the big ultimate For Zenitsu man. Yeah, nice, so good. That's the last season, right? Yep, yep, they might split it into two, I don't know.
Speaker 2:They probably will. We'll see. They'll probably do a movie, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:I hope they do a movie, I don't know. I'm kind of like about the movies. Yeah, because, like I still need to go watch the, I've been anticipating, been waiting like so long for the Haikyuu movie to get to our shores here in Australia. Oh yeah, true it came out two days ago. I need to go watch it, nice. But I'm also kind of like this arc was like one of the best and like I don't know why they would make it into a movie. You know what?
Speaker 1:I mean, oh okay, like miss out on some stuff. Yeah, because like the last, the last match that they had was against Inarizaki High. They were like top dog, so good they were number two coming into it. Karasuno versus them, but like this team, after is the Nekoma team and they were like Karasuno and Nekoma have had like a long time generational rivalry. Yeah, but they've always wanted they're from different prefectures, like Nekoma's from Tokyo and Karasuno's from like the Miyagi.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I'm pretty sure, and they can't. They don't play in the play-in tournaments, they play at nationals, gotcha. So they've never, really they've never played. Oh, they've played each other. They've never played each other, yeah, but this is like they finally made it to nationals both the teams are great and they're finally like this is their match, nice.
Speaker 2:So they've both been like different sides of the table, yeah, but never versed each other.
Speaker 1:No, they've also been like they're because they train together and all that, but like it's not a. It's not a real, if you lose you go home, kind of game.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so I don't know, I think I just wanted more.
Speaker 1:Didn't want it to be over in like an hour and a half yeah but you get what you get. You don't get upset. You know you get what you get. Mate. Some new animation, just be happy for it that's it be grateful, yeah. I'm excited to see my little ranger boy again jumping high. Yeah, my little ganger, little ginger boy, little ganger.
Speaker 2:Hinata. Is that what it translates to? What does his name mean? Like ginger?
Speaker 1:nah.
Speaker 2:Hinata means son oh yeah, his name's Hinata.

Speaker 2:Yeah, but you will have to come back and realise how shit your life is. I wouldn't say like I can't explain today. Oh my ears, because you know, if you lived in Japan and you worked in Japan, you probably wouldn't enjoy it as much. Yeah, because you'd be working In their like work situations, yeah. But if you got to just live there and Figure something else out, I don't know, man, god damn, it's so good, how's? Yeah, it's so nice just catching the train, man, and not worrying about, like yeah, anything no you know what I mean.

Man, we have diseases you watch this and if you go to a train and you like legit, they won't come near you. Like there's a spot next to you, they'll just leave it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and you can just like it's just awkward Cause there's just a spot and you're standing because you're like, out of respect, I'm not going to sit down.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't think I did. I think the only time I sat was when it was like super.
Speaker 2:We always stood.
Speaker 1:Yeah, like the thing. Um, like our partners went and like when they would sit it'd be fine, like the old or bachans, the grannies and stuff. They wouldn't find any problems sitting next to you.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, they'll find like foreign women.
Speaker 1:It's just like the foreign men. It's kind of like we have. I don't know we have this kind of enigma that we're just very weird I think it's weird.
Speaker 2:I think they don't have some situation where they have to, like, talk to us, yeah, and so they're just like they'll just avoid that, their idea, which I get whatever, yeah they're so scared to speak english man yeah, and I don't know, I'm just scared to speak japanese, yeah same same when told I'm kind of intimidating though I have like a.
Speaker 1:I have a? Um intimidating aura. Uh like face in japan. No, just like my partner's told me, brain is Like some of the boys at work. It's just like Nah man. Apparently I've got like An aggro. Resting face Seems like I'm a.

Speaker 1:Can I?
Speaker 2:have a A beer. Can I have a whiskey?
Speaker 1:Beer man.
Speaker 2:Getting a whiskey on a plane.
Speaker 1:I was like this is sick. It was good. I expected myself to drink quite a bit more, but I don't know.
Speaker 2:And we don't have to pay anything.
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:That's what the best part is You're in a plane and you're in like the shit you know in the economy. You just get like they're like do you want anything for the menu?
Speaker 1:And you're like oh, can I have like? A coffee, and they'll be $7.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that hasn't been roasting for years, bro. I don't want that man, you've had that in a bag of aluminium.
Speaker 1:For what, like fucking, 17 years?
Speaker 2:Mate, the thing's fucking faded bro. It's probably been in that pot for like 20 minutes, what?
Speaker 1:is going on, so but I will say like yeah, jetstar Great deals, man yeah, great deals man. Yeah, great deals like that's. The best thing about them is their deals.
Speaker 2:Look, dude if you're gonna look this is my way of putting it right if you're going Virgin or Qantas, right and you're going economy, still, what's the point, what's the point of paying $1,500? Yeah for economy, which is gonna be pretty much the same, dude, if you're going to pay that and save money on like, so you can buy like, get some nice hotels there and spend more money in Japan.
Speaker 2:Trust me, you will not even remember the flight. You'll get off the plane and you'll be, if even it's a shit flight, and you're going to be like, oh fuck.
Speaker 1:Yeah, in the moment you'll hate it, but like even a day later it's so overwhelming. The memories that you have from it, like from your trip.
Speaker 2:Dude, I forgot to tell you a story of my from your, uh, my second, your second trip. Yeah so second trip. I went by my myself and jojo met jojo there and I didn't. He wasn't there, so he was in like uh hakuba, he was doing his um snowboarding snowboarding, yeah, yeah, and so I got to.
Speaker 1:I had to get to man.
Speaker 2:This is my plane story. This is the bad part about Jetstar, but I think it's more Cairns Airport. It's not Jetstar Cairns Airport. Man, I've always had trouble there, true.
Speaker 1:And that's the new transit thing for Jetstar. It's not Gold Coast anymore. Okay.
Speaker 2:We did the last Gold Coast route.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I remember them saying that.
Speaker 2:So now, it's Cairns, so I go to cans on that flight, all good. I was like dancing, running smooth, went through customs. I was like sweet Sick, that's gang, gang. Last time it took me like fucking like three hours. Yeah, we're feeling juicy, it's good. I was feeling good Yep, and then I'm going to line. And then the semi now delay. I was like fuck Cause, because I was going to get to Japan about 8 o'clock, 8 pm and I was like that's good, because I had to drive from Osaka Airport and I had to go to Kyoto. So I had to catch like an hour and a half train which would have got me like there 9.30-ish.
Speaker 1:Which I would have been able to get like a bus or like a taxi or something. Now it's 10.30, 11.
Speaker 2:Now it's 10.30, 11. I'm getting there and like my pilot hits his head walking into the plane. So they get a call and they go call a doctor in the airport to go and like to see if there's a doctor in the. Because there's no doctor in the airport. So they ask one of the passengers who's a doctor and he goes in and like fixes up the pilot and so it was another two out like two hours to labor. So what, you didn't, I got to. Kyoto I get to Kyoto about 11.30.12.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's alright.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but everything's like. Yeah, it's shit. Transport wise Like. I just got on the last train to Kyoto. That was my main thing.
Speaker 1:Because it's an express train.
Speaker 2:Oh fuck, no bro, I would have to buy like a Capsule or something for the night.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, that's a good idea.
Speaker 2:So, anyways, I go to Osaka, but to get my express ticket, I've got cash on me ready. I go to the ticket machine, because I know how to do it. I get my ticket. It doesn't give you my ticket.
Speaker 1:What.
Speaker 2:It just took the money. So I had to like do the. I got to experience. You know that little door thing.
Speaker 1:They pop out of.
Speaker 2:I was like ask for assistance and the guy's like oh. I was like I was like I was like fuck, this is going to be a challenge, dude. It was a challenge, cause I was like I was like trying to like money. I was like oh, money, oh, yeah, okay. And they put the thing in like I was like no, no, it took my money yeah, I had to get the translator out, man, and that took like 20 minutes off and it was freezing man.
Speaker 2:It was because this was like in winter, it was fucking cold dude, it was a bad time to go but also a great time yeah I had to go on the hello kitty train to kyoto that was pretty cool also a little tip if you, when you go to, from osaka to kyoto or whatever, if you need to get to like an express train, you need to tap on your ic card to get into the place.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and then. But before that you need to actually order a limited express ticket from the machine. But if you don't, you can get it on the train from the. You know the people. They come and check yourself.
Speaker 2:Yeah, if you have cash on you, you can say just one ticket and from the you know the people they come and check yourself. Yeah, if you have cash on you, you can say just one ticket and they'll give you like a ticket. Wow. So don't stress if you get on the train and you're like, oh fuck, fuck, fuck, just wait, just have you. As long as you have cash, just make sure you have enough cash on there. So like say, if you're in a rush you're like, fuck, I need to get on this train yeah, cause it's like a large train.
Speaker 2:It's like another 20 minutes, 30 minutes, and cause I had these people, man, and they were about to get off and I was like, dude, just sit down yeah. I was like just I didn't know that was gonna happen. I was like fix it out, just have you got cash and they're like next station next station and figure it out.
Speaker 1:Whatever. You don't want to be here cause, oh man, yeah, oh, it's so. There's so much anxiety that comes into you and just like being in those super busy, like dude places like the Osaka airport or like even just like some of the train stations that we went to, just like the anxiety that you get just trying to get somewhere and then, like when you can't get there, it's just like super confusing have a little bit of an explosion. My worst one was at Kyoto train station. That place, ridiculous. I hated it bro.
Speaker 2:I hated my life that day. I know it now. Yeah, cause.
Speaker 1:I've been cause. I was around there.
Speaker 2:But man, that place is really confusing.

Speaker 2:I do love how, like jetstar always has these deals yeah, so if you ever want to just go back like you ever feel like that, fuck man something about for a week and just just have a night, just go to the nightlife yeah, because I had.
Speaker 1:I had the blues so hard leading up to our last trip just like, because I went when I was 21 and then, we didn't go again until I was 20, 20, 26, 27, 27 I would have been 27 because I'm 27- 27 dude we would have been 27 when we went again. That's like six years of just like fucking, twiddling my thumbs waiting until I can go again. You know what? I mean yeah, fuck me, it was worth it. Japan.
Speaker 1:Japan love it yeah also another recommendation for you guys. I've um. I started Kaiju number 8 just gotta put it out there um let's end on some anime end on some anime some animal anime. Um Kaiju, number 8, is a glorious anime. It's a shounen, so it's from Shounen Jump, but I feel like this is definitely a part of the new wave of shounen that have come through to acceptance and love of the gore and horror kind of culture. Because we started off with Jujutsu Kaisen.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Demon Slayer is a bit gory.
Speaker 1:Demon Slayer's gory we have. Now we have Kaiju, number eight. My Hero Academia realized it needed to go dark, yeah. And then we have Kagura Bachi also, which is a new, a new manga in Shonen that. I recommend to everyone.
Speaker 2:It's about a young boy blacksmith.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, I started ringing that powerful katanas yeah, it's great, also part of that new um culture that they got going on at shonen I wonder when they'll start animating that yeah, probably a while, because it's only the first thing, isn't it yeah?
Speaker 2:first um season, or like first like series. Yeah, arc would you call it yeah, because kaiju was.
Speaker 1:Is that like chapter 140, 150? Oh, so it's still pretty early as well yeah, but then like when um jujutsu kaisen came out, same.
Speaker 2:Thing gotcha, is that around? 140 150 gotcha, yeah, so it's pretty much like a two years the manga will finish then a few years yeah. And then the anime will pretty much catch up.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so Kaiju number eight is about a middle-aged man which is not really. Yeah, it's pretty cool. I think he's 32 in the show and he's the main character and some things happen to him. He always wants to be a hunter because in this world there are kaijus which are goliath, or gigantic, massive monsters Godzilla, King Ghidorah, King Kong yeah.
Speaker 2:Rodan, are they in it?
Speaker 1:no, no, fuck, that'd be cool.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it would be cool, that'd be fucking sick if they made like little cameos, little yeah yeah, um, yeah.
Speaker 1:So the whole, the whole world's been taken over by these kaijus? Well, not taken over, but they keep coming and they have this subjugation unit that takes on the kaijus. And this man, who's 32, has been trying out for the subjugation unit every year since he was been allowed and he hasn't been getting in.
Speaker 1:Yeah, damn and then then obviously he gets in and the whole thing is just about him and something happens to him, you'll find out, and it's all about him trying to use what's happened to him but also not let anyone know and also just trying to be a subjugation. His main goal is to stand beside the captain of the unit, the captain of the entire military that they got going on, because she is his childhood friend and they made a vow to fight kaijus together.
Speaker 1:That's sick, but he didn't get, he didn't get in, he didn't get in. He doesn't have the. What would you call it? It's like when they merge, it's when it's oh, the sync.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, yeah, like the syncing, it's like a Pacific Remy, right, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:Like he can't. He has. I don't know he can't sync well with whatever it is, but she was like ultimate and she has a high proficiency in railguns. So her whole power is rail guns and she's a beast. She also has a pet, white tiger that's fucking randomly cool yeah.
Speaker 1:Mike Tyson of the anime world. It was. It's pretty cool white tiger taking all little monsters, man chasing them, badass. Anyway, it's up to episode 8. We're at some. We're at a climax of an awesome fight about to go down and shit is getting real oh and shit is getting real.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, shit is getting real. I'll give it a watch, man. Yeah, kaiju, number eight. Kaiju number eight Crunchyroll, crunchyroll, crunchyroll.
Speaker 1:It's good stuff, guys. I binged it honestly because I've been in such a weird rut for this past year. I reckon With anime. With anime, yeah, reckon with anime, yeah, like because I've read the manga.
Speaker 1:It's kind of like it's kind of like I don't want to watch it. You know, oh yeah, because I've already read it and I can read it so much faster than I watch it. Yeah, but then, like I was, I was bored, I had nothing to do on a friday night and I was like you know what? I'm just gonna watch kaiju, that's actually what I've been doing lately.
