It's so satisfying to see how Connor's thoughts about v-tubers expanded so much in these past few months, from the guy who didn't get the hype about anime girls streaming to being the Trash Taste member having the most collabs with them and forming an honest opinion about it to planning to debut as a v-tuber himself. That's one nice character arc.
Well yeah he collabs with them,but as he said it's different then being being super obsessed with and watching them nonstop rather of just being friends.
35:28: Connor acknowledges Music, establishes he read the Manga, and the boys are actually talking about Anime…truly, this is an episode from an alternate dimension.
Connor: "Guys wanna watch a guy who they think is their bro." This is one of the biggest reasons as to why I love watching this podcast. It genuinely feels as if I were just hanging out with my bros.
Eh, I'm a chick and it's the same for me. Though male Vtubers are going to want to tap into my THIRST. We need some interesting Vtube husbandos, damn it. Hopefully Nux can improve his rig and get emotes and props now that he's a millionaire. I'd simp for Nux.
Bro even Pewdiepie said he watches this podcast so he feels like he knows them super well etc. It is the same for me it feels like hanging out with your friends
@@nepomucenojohnbenedictc.9003 who? me? did finally someone notice me?🥺🥺 jk ik u r not talking about me nobody does side note: i comment on almost every video i see but it never gets enough like to get some attention
King of the Hill is honestly one of the best animated sitcoms. There’s another one that’s really good but hella underrated called The Critic. I totally recommend it
Hearing them talk about the future of One Punch Man is giving me hope. If the manga actually gets animated, I guarantee Garou is going to be everybody's favorite character.
I mean i heard talk about like 2 years after season 2 that MadHouse would be animatin season 3, but idk if that was just speculation or confirmed... kinda leanin towards speculation
The staredown guy is Taro Kono minister of fuckn everything known as the most CHAD politician on social media. Replies jokes to his own memes, fights fake news and scams, good reputation on honest work in general, best english skills, amazing guy. You can imagine how rare that kind of flexibility can be in Japan. If you need to know about any politician in Japan, It's Taro Kono.
It's speculated that Kuzuha's fanbase is around 70% men and 30% female. So it can add to Connor's dudes like to watch dudes that feel like their bro comment and 30% female in this field is a lot.
@@w花b Well unlike Jake, Logan has matured a bit, there's a huge difference in the way he acts now than he did back then, because he has been humbled quite a few times now but Jake....that Jake....
I don't see the "childhood friend who grew up into a fine woman and eventually develops a crush on the main protagonist, only for another more boisterous/spicy girl to come around and the love triangle ensues" girl anywhere
People saying they NEED to talk about animators being overworked/ they're shying away from talking about sensitive topics are stupid. They literally did a whole episode on it with Ken arto.
I think it's when Garnt has a different opinion than the others that it's at its peak, because it results in things like the Pizza Crust Argument, the Bacon Argument, the Bidet Argument, the Chicken Debate (later), it's just a blast when they argue in general.
I know this will get lost in the sea of comments but I just want to say thank you, to you boys and everyone behind the scenes. Watching the podcast has helped me relax a lot, especially recently since I've been in a less than desirable place mentally. Nothing but respect and love for all of you, thank you :) Edit: Thank you so much for the supportive replies
@@NeostormXLMAX Garnt said, in response to Connor’s opinion about Record of Ragnarok, that Connor doesn’t have eyes. Essentially, Garnt joked about how in season 1 Connor didn’t have ears; his appreciation for music came down to the beeps and boops, and now in season 2 he doesn’t have eyes. Then, this comment jokes about how in season 3 he won’t have a voice as another « sense » to disappear. Also Connor = monke
I love how Sydney just slammed her giant shwang on the table, on national Japanese TV, & called herself an Eroge RU-vidr. The Queen of degenerates has spoken.
I watched this episode, heard Connor recommend “Invincible”, paused it, and binged the whole thing in one weekend. Holy crap it’s so good: I haven’t been this excited about a show since Attack on Titan.
I've never watched a podcast ever because I always thought listening to people talk about random shit is the most boring thing ever, but after listening to trash taste it feels like crack cocaine for my ears. I love it.
2 years late lol but I always listen to this podcast while doing housework, makes me almost look forward to it 😭 especially when I'm cooking or baking (which I already like lol)
What I like about the Invincible comic… it actually ends…. It doesn’t go down an endless 30+ year loop like DC or Marvel heroes… it has a beginning middle and end
Dc and marvel superhero Stories now are fan service . They're not trying to make masterpieces they're just trying to make people happy/entertained There are good stories once in a while But mainly it's to make money off of previously established superheroes and give fans what they need (tho it's sometimes done very poorly) Yeah there'd be good story arcs every now-and-then but it's like they're making ovas for a show that already ended. The writers who do end it at some point some other writer is going to undo it and continue it As long as dc and marvel keep making money off supes there'll be no end
This was literally before that,and if you believe that then I guess it's because you want to, unless of course this is sarcasm in which I look like a dumbass soooo........GOMENASORRY.
@@cuy50 It's just preferance I suppose, but it is special in the term that it's better then most shows out, at least shows that are similair to it's medium. Of course it's got it's flaws, but it's one of the funnest watches (IMO)
Fun fact: While Kuzuha has a like 95% female fanbase, his partner Kanae who is the second biggest male VTuber in Nijisanji used to have like an 80% male fanbase. It has evened out now to about 60%, but it's still interesting.
Man, I love Trash Taste and pretty much everything they do, but it does feel like you're coming home to a home-cooked meal when they're actually talking about anime 😌
@@npc4805 As a VN reader, it's definitely not the "Magnum Opus" of Visual Novels, but it's a classic for a reason, it's just one of those stories you HAVE to experience at some point in your life as a VN reader, on the same level as Katawa Shoujo, VA11 Hall-A. Danganronpa, and DDLC.
The podcasts are recorded weeks in advance, Connor getting verified is a recent development. I’d estimate it’ll be 3 or four episodes before he talks about it.
Something to note about "The Promised Neverland" is that the manga also had a stable downward trend in quality after the (SUPER strong) first arc and completely fell off a cliff towards the end. Which I think was a reason why they wanted to change so much for the anime in the first place, because I remember the original writer was unsatisfied and wanted it to be different. Which, ofc, made it even WAY worse because they cut out some of the best parts of the manga (the "old" man, Goldy Pond, Ayshe, Geelan...) to quickly rush to the worst parts (Peter Ratri) and then just end on that nothing final episode. So, it's less "Ruined a fantastic manga" and more "Amplified the flaws of an overall hit&miss mediocre manga".
Yeah after all that struggle and hard work on their own the first thing that happens is they just run in to some really really important/crucial people. Which disappointed me
I cried when I watched the second season of TPNL OMG I cried so much because even though the manga had some weird twisted it was good--- the anime--- no just no
I mean the manga wasn't fantastic but I wouldn't call it mediocre. it had high highs and low lows, but I wouldn't say it was mediocre. Goldy pond and the first arc were really good ! but yea it really fell off around the Peter ratri part. I liked the ending, though.
The funny thing about what they said with male V-Tubers is that whole "streamer being your mate" thing is actually the vibe that Holostars has if you check them out but it seems that the Japanese audience is less interested in that, which has lead to them getting upwards of 80% international viewership while the girls in hololive JP have that up to 50-30% at most.
@@leeyiu742 If the guys collabed a lot with the girls other than the same 3 (which bless the few girls that do collab with them), they would be much more popular. There would be a lot of annoying elitist "purists" that would be mad about man talking to their waifu, but that's insignificant in the long run.
@@leeyiu742 This is my opinion: Having Nijisanji that huge amount of male livers, there should be at least a few with a good amount of success, right? It's a matter of numbers. Sadly, not all their members are successful, male or female. Holostars has only 9 members, but they have that close relationship that Nijisanji may lack. And of course there's the promotion issue, which honestly bothers me as well.
I think it’s more that most of Hololive’s audience wouldn’t be interested in Holostars (and a few are in fact actively hostile). The separation of branches was as much for the sake of Holostars as it was for Hololive - reduce as much harassment as possible so everyone can grow in peace. People often say Holostars would be bigger if they’d been combined with Hololive like Nijisanji is, but I’m not sure that’s true. Nijisanji has been around for a while to establish itself, and Holostars’ growth has been far more alike an agency starting from new. People who may have been interested in Holostars already had the boys in Nijisanji to interest them. And many people don’t like to look at “new” agencies with talents they could get attached to that disappear due to lack of support. That said, for a “new” group that’s only been around for 2 years, Holostars is actually pretty big. Not as big as Hololive, sure, but their growth is actually huge. Just a year ago Aruran was streaming to 2 people, and now he’s up to 2k sometimes. Same with Astel, who had 58 viewers and now averages 1k plus, up to 3k if an Apex tournament or an unarchived karaoke. Many JP Vtuber fans actually have a high opinion of them and are more frequently starting to check them out now, even if their main preference is still a girl or Nijisanji.
Suprised they didn't talk about the mappa controversy. I feel like they need to spread the word about how truly sad the situation is. Cloverwork also had a incident months ago where one of the wonder egg staff had to be hospitalized because of overwork
I doubt they will talk about it, since they have connections to many people now and it's just another things that I guess they want to talk but they have boundaries that can't be crossed
I listen to BonsaiPop's podcast, and they were actually talking about how the bois don't really talk about these topics, suggesting they have influence they aren't using to try to and change things for the better. That they'd rather spend their money on their trips to Akihabara, and everything else they've done. Like I get it, singularly they're big. Together they're even bigger, but I don't get why just because you have a large platform, people think that means you HAVE to say something. If members of the fanbase here didn't care before, the bois saying anything won't change that. And at the end of the day, there are plenty of people talking about the mistreatment of workers in the industry. They would just be regurgitating the same views we all have, that overworking people, and not paying them is bad.
It's not like you have to say something just because you have a platform, but it would be cool of them to do. I mean that's how you force companies to change stuff. Companies don't care about right or wrong, they care about making a profit. And they're only gonna change stuff when it is more profitable to do it, and the way you make that happen is through social pressure. If it's bringing negative attention to them, they'll have no choice but to change it. It's basic PR. It's not just "regurgitating the same views". People with eyes on them have influence over their audience like it or not. And while some youtubers use this to make money on crypto scams (like they talked about on this episode) it would be cool if TT used it to change working conditions for the better. Even if there are other people talking about this, most of those people don't have an audience of a few million and a respected position in the industry.
The realisation is hitting that Demon Slayer S2 and Chainsaw Man are likely to be released in the same season. Holy shit the next season is fucking stacked.
@@miguelyap3699 never seen the fate series, I’ve heard good things, but it’s bit outside of my comfort zone from what I’ve seen though, I’m a pretty casual anime fan
In case anyone's interested to learn more about the "Save the kids" scam, Coffeezilla and SomeOrdinaryGamer made videos covering and explaining what happened.
I love how Connor sticks w his opinion and doesn’t care he fights for his side against twooo people lmao although I agree mob is better than OPM but still respect for taking on both the boys alone loahdhhaggdhw
Everyone is different; the fact that their argument had to lead to a 2v1 means Joey and the other one can’t come up with a good premise for their side and just jump to mob tactics. The other guy is Definitely the most annoying one.
I found out yesterday about Connor getting verified from Chris Broad’s tweet lol 😂 I’m honestly okay with them not always talking about anime because the tangents are the best parts. We’re obviously all here to watch grown men fight over their weird food takes.
Minor correction: Harry potter spell names aren't english, they're Latin. English fantasy tends to use Latin as a "magic language" in a similar fashion to how Japanese fantasy uses English.
Well, it's more like Latin-inspired. Some words do exist in Latin, but others are just words that look Latin but aren't really There's a video by Polymathy on the topic
The cutting of lesser popular VTubers has actually happened very recently. Nijisanji had introduced Nijisanji IN branch a while back to tap into the Indian audience, but they really struggled to pull any numbers since VTubing is still not very well known in India and Nijisanji didn't do any marketing to let people know about the new branch. They tried to increase the numbers by putting them in a few events, but a few months back they decided to make all three VTubers in the branch graduate.
Don't forget renaming Niji IN to Niji EN, way back then to try to boost them, then they closed it down when the official EN was going to debut. Ichikara, this is why you don't expand to too many places without doing market research
The episodes where you talk about anime are just the best! Just full nerd out about the studios and the animation and trends within the medium. So good!
@@andanjv you can add actual anime episodes too. Some companies post full episodes both subbed in half a dozen languages and dubbed in English for free on RU-vid.
@@kkiouris5719 I would personally say season 1-4 was amazing. Season 5-7 there was a drop in quality but Negan saved it. Season 9-11 Haven't watched it all because I lost interest
@@kkiouris5719 I just don't like how the director thought he could tell a better story than Kirkman and fuck over his actors, but hey, people like what they like.
But I love how wholesome this podcast is. To me it feels like on their own channels they talk anime and on this podcast it's like your weekly hangout where you talk about everything and anything and nothing in particular with some anime on the side.
The thing about OPM is that unlike Mob it doesn't pass directly the message of finding meaning in life while feeling empty inside and it comes of as just "beat the monster in 1 punch gag". Mob starts from a anxious highschooler with problems to express himself because of trauma (a very normal and common situation) and constantly develop on this and address it. One became better at passing his messages with Mob and it reflects on the same time OPM chapters were released, so yeah it's valid to think one is better than the other
how is that an awful take? i literally couldnt believe my ears that someone had the exact same opinion of that adaptation as me. it was a genuinely good anime
@@ChrisChoi123 For me, if a shonen has the same level of animation as the next iterative harem it's pretty bad. It wasn't horrible, but good? Hell no. At times, it straight up looked like it was missing frames in between.
@@ChrisChoi123 It literally look like it's made out of Microsoft PowerPoint. For an anime that revolves around fight scenes, that kind of animation is whack.
@@RewZes it isnt about the destination, it is about the journey. We all know MC wins in the end and accomplishes the goal but how does luffy actually get the one piece?
But are you sure about that? I think the writers should be aware that the industry is oversaturated with shows and try to at least make it less predictable. But for me, I don't mind the predictability of a show as long as it doesn't involve plot twists (that's just boring)
Yea yea I actually get Connor's point of "just don't f*ckin animate if you can't animate it properly" and just put the actual colored manga art with freakin speedlines, voice acting and camera shake, it would actually look better than f*ckin Escanor vs Meliodas fight scene animated horribly
There's already "manga videos" on RU-vid that prove it works if they don't have the conviction for an actual adaptation. I watched Armin's transformation in Liberio on RU-vid when I couldn't wait for AoT S4 and that doesn't even have the voice acting.
@@mrnickname850 anime are made so people would get into Visual Novels not the other way around. Also, how would a battle-centric manga like RoR work in VNs? I never read one before, only psychological horror with magic systems that feels badass by explanations alone. RoR is pure adrenaline on the other hand.
Eromanga is like sliding down those fast food places’ play places, where you get shocked from all the static as you slide down, but at least you had fun and for some they’re willing to slide again. TPN2 is like going down the same slide, but halfway through is a homeless guy who you woken up and he’s screaming and grabbing at you in a drunken rage.
