Um, actually the thing that was most wrong about the HunterXHunter question was Chrollos ability to summon fish because that is contingent entirely on his real ability which is to steal the abilities of other people after meeting excessively long conditions for that stealing. Basho's ability is only implied to get more effective the better the haiku, not cease to work entirely if it's not a good one.
People trying to get me on this one are instead exposing themselves as posers because they didn't read the Manga where it is implied that Chrollo lost all of his previous abilities in order to take on stringer requirements to steal a person's nen abilities which allowed him to wield multiple stolen nen abilities at the same time. So no it's probably not even a power that he currently has! You're wrong! It's not even the one he uses most he just uses it one time because it's a super cool way to kill that guy!
@@rinpaisys gainax is still around though they have went through legal troubles via lawsuits and one of their directors went to jail for apparently assaulting a voice actress
Um actually, panty does not need to use her underwear specifically and spent an episode driving around stealing underwear trying to find one that transforms into a decent enough weapon to fight a ghost.
honestly i thought this was the intended correction when he was talking about it (mainly because stocking being an demon makes no sense whatsoever, so my brain disregards that as noncanonical to keep the fun show free from the dumb plot twist)
The "tanuki paratrooper movie" actually is a Ghibli film called "Pom Poko" and it is off the walls crazy. It's a morality tale about destruction of animal habitats framed in a plot about raccoon-like creatures where the males have magical powers derived from their junk. You know, normal Ghibli stuff.
Worth mentioning that Pom Poko was directed by Isao Takahata, not Miyazaki who directed most of studio Ghibli's best-known movies. (Including My Neighbour Totoro, which featured the catbus.) And yeah, Pom Poko is a very good movie.
I'm actually surprised I got the Death Note one because in the back of my mind I thought it couldn't be but it was the first show to pop in my head so I would have unconfidently answered it anyways. With Bebop and MHA too, I would have gotten only 3 correct.
Um, actually, if we're counting Envy's "true form" (the little green slug thing) as being not humanoid, we should also be counting Pride as not being humanoid, because his true form is just a shadow monster that's using Selim Bradley as a container.
He didn't mention Pride, tho. He said: "Some have humanoid form like lust and greed, and some have monstrous form like envy". He didn't say if Pride had human form or not and neither he said only envy was a monster, so there's nothing to correct there
Um actually, while pride is usually seen as a shadow monster while not in the selim case when Ed defeats him it’s revealed his real real form is a miniscule baby and or fetus. But either way it’s humanoid.
Um Actually, in The Tatami Galaxy not every episode features the main character joining a campus club. In Episode 4 the plot revolves around becoming a disciple in an odd proxy war between two sides whose purpose has been lost to time. For the last two episodes, the main character finds themselves trapped inside infinite tatami rooms after not joining any clubs their entire college career, instead choosing to spend all of it in their room. On another note, they totally should have mentioned the explicit rock climbing wall.
First two seasons with some changes, including drastic ones to some character designs and personalities, and extra anime only episodes yeah. It ends on the special children in Cold Oak but changes who it is that Sam already knows so instead of knowing Andy and Ava he had met Lily and Jake in earlier episodes.
The Fullmetal Alchemist question should have gone to Orion.. While Eli was the first to give a sorta-in-the-right direction answer, he didn't say Um, Actually, while Orion did. (though he did give the proper answer, but only after Mike said he was getting the point) So it should have been a 3-way tie, 4-4-4.
I would've done it too, even tho most of those questions were very difficult. People who are big Evangelion fans probably have that scenery in their subconscious at this point, since it left such an impression in End of Eva. On top of that, yeah she mentioned the memes - that white sands red sea + misc characters and background scene from the movie has been an iconic moment poster whatever you name it since release basically, and memes made it debatably even more iconic these days
Good plan, except that no one could see anything when they were stone so you would have to remember all the episodes (or just make them up, half of what you made up were probably a real episode).
I feel like the FMA point should have gone to Orion, yes they said the same thing but Eli didn't say "Um, actually" so he got a point while breaking THE rule of the game
I mean...if you want to be even more pedantic technically none of them got it right on the first go around, while the wording was a little vague it wasn't actually wrong. Envy's original form isn't a humanoid which is true (Even if he usually takes a human form). Therefore Eli still earned the point when he corrected the proper incorrect statement afterwards (Although he didn't say um actually...but there was an edit there so I'm willing to throw a bone and say he MAY have said it before the cut? If not...then no one gets a point)
Um, actually, Senku doesn't count just to keep his mind active. His primary objective in counting is to keep track of the time and date, aiming to be released from his petrification in Spring so that he has the best chance at survival and preserving the human race. If memory serves, 10,000 is the number he gets to each time before nearly succumbing to sleep and starting count again. Also, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is a fantastic anime (with an excellent English dub), and you should watch it as long as you have watched a lot of other anime first. Yes, you need to watch the series before watching the movie. I'm almost surprised that Hare Hare Yukai wasn't one of the Legal Limit songs.
Wouldn't mind hearing how it is when you play it. I know this sort of game isn't for everyone so I'm curious. Also wondering if it's like the show and will have other things wrong with their statements that only true fans would know but "Isn't what they're looking for"
Um Actually, there could be a few more things wrong with the FMAB question. Greed is basically the spirit that possessed different people, the last being Ling, so his form was depicted as a spirit and not human. On top of that, the question phrases it so all the homunculi are antagonists. Greed flips halfway through the series, so he’s definitely not an antagonist by the end of the show.
Um actually while Greed may have been a spirit it definitely **appeared** human the vast majority of the time. Additionally while Greed did flip he **was** an antagonist so he still counts as a FMAB antagonist.
@@Syrange13 honestly it just boiled down to Ling being willing to become a Homunculus for power and Father going "Ah, fuck it. Here you go" and put Greed in him.
yeah, Greed is NOT a spirit that possess people. THe thing with Ling was a unique situation caused by FATHER, Greed does not have the power to possess people. Its actually basically the same process more or less that turned the person that became King Bradley into a hommunculus
Um Actually, bears are in fact native to Japan and are generally one of the more prevalent dangers you have to worry about up in some of the more mountainous regions.
And the tanuki aren't raccoons, they're more closely related to dogs, because they're raccoon dogs, not raccoons, who are a different family entirely under Carnivora
I somehow managed to guess that it was evangelion before she did without ever having seen the show… giant t-posing robots in an ocean of blood is too iconic for this world
Some day there should be crossovers with Game Changer - one where Sam hosts here and one where you host there to see how things are changed around. Shame ProZD wasn't here for this one.
I think there might be a factor of age with the ninja animals getting speech ability. The Sannin summon animals, which can talk, are all supposed to be leaders and Pakkun, like Condor, is likely pretty old and have seniority
Man, I thought I knew a lot about anime. I hardly knew any of the answers (sometimes even about shows I had actually watched!). Fun episode as always. Thanks for sharing!
Um actually Chrollo's power is a book that steals other people's nen abilities and add them to his collection once conditions have been met and he can then use those abilities as long as the book is open to that page or he has his special bookmark on the page.
It wasn't the Good one! What's up People by Maximum the Hormone is so much more recognizable. The World sounds like 90% of any generic shonen opening, like it would fit just fine in Naruto.
Not a correction as much as a suggestion or request. Would you be willing to compile some of the more repeated Shiny Questions into their own video? Like all of the Hear Me Roar in one, or all the Once More Without Feeling?
Um actually, in hunter x hunter, Chrollo Lucilfer’s nen ability is that he can conjure a book that allows him to steal and copy other peoples’ nen abilities as long as they fulfill 3 criteria within an hour: 1) he sees the ability with his own eyes, 2) the person answers a question about the ability, and 3)the victim must touch the handprint on the cover of the book. At the current point in the anime, he is only able to copy one ability at a time, and is required to keep the book open to the page the ability is on, however [SPOILERS] after his nen exorcism to remove Kurapika’s judgement chain that sealed his nen, he developed a new way to use his power which involved a bookmark allowing him to close the book and still maintain the ability (giving him 2 free hands), and could even hold the book open to a second ability at the same time.
this this episode is super old buuuuuuttttt um actually Chrollo power is to "barrow" others powers and store them in his book, that he can use them at anytime. rendering the person who had it unable to use it.
In the web serial worm, there is a super scientist called Bonesaw who can in fact eject her spine and head and use them as prehensile weapons. Among other things she also carries a liquid that grows into a full lab in her femur.
26:46 this segment had me shouting at the screen. Getting the classics wrong is already painful to watch, but having the guesses be way the f off course hurts all the more. 😩😫
Um actually, chrollo’s ability allows him to steal other people’s abilities, and that’s how he can summon the fish. He can summon them, but it’s not his nen ability. Also on Bassho’s ability, the restriction that it has to be a good hiaku makes his ability stronger. When you put a self imposed restriction on your ability you can boost its power in a kind of risk/reward system
Um, actually, Makoto Kusanagi looses her entire body by the end of the first movie and exists as a Ghost by combining with an AI. She's shown in a child body later (which could not accommodate an adult spine and brain) and several other bodies which she transfers to at will.
Even at the beginning of the movie, the cyborg has what's known as a "cyberbrain" which is a new organ hybrid of an individual's original nervous tissue with cybernetic components. A cyborg's can even have their consciousness downloaded into a new cyberbrain if, say, their previous one has been destroyed. There are indeed some biological elements remaining in her brain, but it is a stretch to say her brain is biological and there is no telling whether it is even her original one.
It's the same in the anime and manga too, she jumps bodies with just her ghost quite frequently; very unlikely she still has her original organic brain (especially considering she was cyberised as a child, doubt the spine would grow to adult size in a full prosthetic body)
Beyond that, the first Um actually.. was right, they aren't a secret group, their actions are classified for sure, but they are known but literally every other agency and government workers. They quite literally introduce themselves as "Public Security Section 9" everytime they see cops or other authority figures
In fact in different adaptions and in the orginal manga the answer is different. In the movie she has her brain and spinal cord. In SAC, she has a fully prosthetic body. IIRC, in Arise they mention that there is some original biological material remains, but the way they say it makes it seem like less than a full brain. I'm not sure about the manga, live action movie and PlayStation game. There are some other differences between different adaptions as well. For example in the movie full body cyborgs can be recognized on sight. Whereas in SAC prosthesis look entirely like the real thing and a cyborg can't be identified until they do something unnatural. For the most part this distinction doesn't matter, but Gouda specifically is a full body cyborg who pretends to have his original body, including disfiguring scars. And there's an episode where Pazu may or may not have been replaced by a stalker.
Um Actually, that Hunter X Hunter statement is all wrong. Basho is just shitty at writing Hakus so what he creates is trash, and Chrollo's actually ability is to steal abilities with a book after four conditions are met.
I’ve never heard of any of these and have spent most of the episode obsessing over all three of their glasses and trying to read background book titles 😊
I was right there with her the evangelion one was obvious, like before I recognized the shapes through the pixels I saw the color pallet. Also there are bears in Japan
They went a different direction with the PSG question than I expected. "Panty can transform her underwear into guns" is also incorrect because she can only turn her underwear into 'a gun' (singular), not 'guns' (plural). In order to wield multiple guns, she requires additional underwear from someone else (mostly from Stocking, but also that one episode where she steals a bunch of underwear from random teens in an attempt to find an adequate weapon to replace her usual one).
I guessed the MHA theme! I mean, I've never heard that particular theme, and have only watched a season of BHNA plus a few clips on youtube, but i have read a lot of fanfics. I also have the english version of peace sign more or less memorized. so I pretty much guessed because a) there was a sound resembling "Deku" in there b) it was upbeat and had a similar tone/style to peace sign and c) it was a high, younger male voice, which isn't actually that common in anime themes. so uh... thank you for your time :)
Ugh, the Urusei Yatsura one is such an age test. I know a remake just came out, but I haven't checked the music for it. Urusei Yatsura is such an 80s/90s otaku thing cuz we were all up on Rumiko Takahashi works back then. I only know it because my Uncle had a laser disc of all the songs from it and recorded it on casette for me and I listened to it constantly.
I think they were related, but I thought that as well, since I think they establish it isn't the droppings itself and bat poop is kind of liquidy, but it was more a build up of that nitric acid from the bats constantly pooping. To be fair, they don't go into huge detail on that and it doesn't really factor in much as I recall
RE the final question. I LOL when people tell me they ate a Kobe burger. The entire point of Kobe beef is the fine marbling of the fat. 1) if it's ground Kobe, it's not from a premium cut. 2) Once you grind it into burger meat, it's pretty much like anything else. 3) You should probably garnish that with some useless gold flake for $200 more.
I had completely forgotten the ending of PSG and went to check, and I was immediately struck with the same feeling of "yeah, let's wait for next week's episode because there's no way this is the ending"
@@benjdelphi His nen ability might be to steal other peoples abilities, but using those abilities consist of his powers. And if Um Actually is anything it's very nitpicky.
14:00 in a book called "Legion of the Damned" their cyborgs have what they call "brain-boxes" which are cubes that they effectively smoosh the brain into and comes attached with a handle and a heavy dose of drugs to incapacitate the brain while it is being transported. So when they get damaged beyond repair, their bio-bod (effectively regular soldier that accompanies them) can hit the eject button and pull the brain box to escape so the cyborg can get a new body and continue fighting... it is stated (in the book) that veteran cyborgs are worth platoons of bio-bods and should be kept alive even at the cost of regular soldier's lives... there is an ongoing debate vs the use of cyborgs or tanks as being more effective.
Um actually in the tatami galaxy, not every episode is about him joining a different club. There are some episodes where he does not join a club and one episode where he gets stuck in the titular tatami galaxy. Assuming some pedantry about not including the final 2 episodes there are 3 episodes in the "episodic" section of the show that are him pursuing avenues of love where he's not joining a club.
Me: I bet these question are all going to be about recent shows that I haven't watched because I'm way more into the classic stuff. Show: Up next is a question about Galaxy Express 999. Me: You know what, you called my bluff and I respect you for it.
Considering this was still being shot remotely, I’m surprised there weren’t any Vtubers on this episode. I mean, how much more weeb are you gonna get for the Anime episode than a _literal_ anime character?
Um, actually the entire planet was hit with the petrification beam, the area of the beam covered all of earth, yes senku did count to keep his mind active but others weren't driven mad their minds simply stopped functioning and turned fully to stone, senku with his active brain made it easier to become unpetrified by the nitric acid in the bat guano
This subject really needs a question related to all the ridiculous "reincarnated as" stories. Slime, vending machine, spider, asmr mic, magical truck death god, an actual inanimate truck, panties, sword, a weed, and fire are all actual answers, so you could easily slide in something random if you can find something that hasn't been done yet. xD
I think a "Isekai" themed episode would make more sense, you get all those weird things but also the "stuck in a game world " like Log Horizon and whatever the "Saga of Tanya the Evil" is. You get all the weirdness but you get a bit broader subject.
@@jamespryor5967 That isn't a category or genre. Neither is WW1 with magic, tactical warfare and some fantasy elements. But yeah, I like the show as well. Some shows are pretty hard to describe though.
Ok am I crazy? I was 100% certain that in the original ghost in the shell movie Kusanagi is fully cybernetic. There's a whole thing where she wonders whether or not she's real because her mind is uploaded. At what point is it established that her brain and spine are organic?
