Dub Talk 237: BOFURI: I Don't Want to Get Hurt, so I'll Max Out my Defense

0:00 man this vr equipment is something it's it seemed to be all the rage last year i don't know i don't know why i bought it but no man time to set up a place of new world online know notice you must read the terms of conditions before continuing okay warning the following game you're about to play may contain language and content that's not suitable for younger audiences if your discretion is advised there may be spoilers about for the contents of new world online beaufort as well as any other eyepiece so be very careful if there's something you haven't watched yet okay the user pages expressed the dose of the places section

0:46 and does not reflect the views of the world online all like interactions that are raised by the esrb are you wondering son no dad all right man okay now that that's out of the way yeah i choose class great shield yeah it looks like a great class to start with choose username i can't use my real name so i'll take the name of the grace play in history leeward dragons all right name already in use what all right then how about maple name already

1:32 use clone name already in use how about jam star name accepted perfect now it's time to start this baby up let's start [Music] hello and welcome to dub talk where we cover the latest and greatest anime dubs i'm the guildmaster jamal and with me on this grand adventure tonight are my two guild mates andrew so uh have you noticed the new bug patch

2:17 like things are patched in but as it turns out if you do things in this particular order it's going to corrupt your save file and it's also going to straight up like fall through the floor a lot of bug fixes to work in yeah and next to him is the maple to a sally steph i legit thought for a second there when he was talking about bugs the minor bug problem we have in our apartment currently no i was trying to do a thing in character like the fact that let's let's be real we are working with a particularly clunky bit of software that's what we're working with tonight i mean sure but we also have for some reason little

3:03 centipedes occasionally we've been finding in our apartment so oh good god bucks when you said bugs i thought you gotta break up the ladybugs maple kept eating in the show no ah nope see like the bugs in this are adorable but also the bugs in our apartment are not adorable i don't care for those i would patch them out of here completely if i could get them grade they will help you get them raped speaking of breaking speaking of raids yes and tonight we are on the quest to cover the dub of both of me i want to get hurt so i'll max out my defense your typical your typical long ass light

3:49 novel title ladies and gentlemen surprisingly i believe i thought was what a pretty long one we are hitting that point where it is becoming a competition like it feels like we're hitting that point where it's like can this fit on a single line on a word doc they also do that to help get straight to the point to which if you want to know the synopsis of this show is she the game's last boss though she doesn't play many mmos maple either has a natural talent or impossibly good luck because my point every last step point she has to vitality she's created a character who can't be heard whether it's physical attacks or magic status magical status effects nothing poses a

4:35 real threat in no time at all news spreads across the server about the adorable terror who can't be defeated while maple may just be having fun her broken build is sure to attract lots of expected attention adorable terror is an understatement by god it's just she's not even trying no she's not even trying and she continually breaks the goddamn game like she is the way i can describe maple is that she is cute and unassuming but she is a godslayer through and through if i was to compare maple to anybody kirby

5:23 maple herbie yes cause kirby is a pink round huggable lovable fluff ball has like 20 plus abilities a giant appetite and has canonically killed gods yeah kind of like you mentioned kirby because i see a lot of faces in the maple guilt tree where she shows up for new abilities and i think ness from earthbound because that's what it looked like to me i mean at this point what else could she get into yeah it's a lot clearly she's kind of the span of what well 12 episodes this is

6:08 i think the best part is that she is not taking this too seriously oh no she's having time for life she's just like i'm gonna make friends we're gonna have a fun time and i'm gonna play the game you can tell like she's not gonna get hurt though cool yeah yeah you know cause her broken build is it'll take every ounce the creators have to like actually like she stay there for as much as they can but at the same time everything see they try to nerf her as much as they can and then she just finds more random [ __ ] to get into well at least she's not malware speaking about well it took a [ __ ]

6:55 long time to cover this dub man like because we wanted to cover it much earlier but i know you wanted to wait until the physical release because okay yeah so so here's what happened i'll be brief okay so this starts the cyber double january by march the world shut down she happened that for the next six months we were out right up until uh august that's when this does start coming back but at that point people started recording from home the re one of the reasons i wanted to wait for a physical release to do this was because the credits i had jotted down were from the funimation forbes and as you've as people don't doubt of no lately the fundamental forbes have shut down oh yeah okay yeah yeah yeah they were

7:42 originally posting some cast credits for a bit on the funimation forums before they decided that they were going to discontinue the forums so i could not do anything until i got my hands on the release which came out in march but more on that final thoughts but let's start as we always do with our adr directed scriptwriter heck yeah you need a good director when you're leading a big game project like this no no it's not you need an aviator you need a good director you need a great guild master you need a great guild master because otherwise you're going to make or break your build yep and this is a surprise one honestly it is actually very pleasant i'm good i'm gonna save

8:29 the surprise for that but right now let's start out with our guild mates first three script writers the director the assistant director one point double duty for our main script writer we have kristen mcguire who's written other stuff such as in the future monster girls magical girl racing project and the master of ragnarok and blessed i heard her for no other reason to say i dare her jamal if you're going to commit to saying that you have to say it exactly five times now oh no i knew her i hear her i hear her i hear her i hear her i hear her i mainly a million a million a million

9:16 yo give me that [ __ ] remix doc that's that's little wayne right i think yeah okay i'm gonna say i'm like a million amelia's little wayne right i get my rappers mixed up sometimes and i don't know hip-hop very well either [ __ ] anyway anyway she's also pouring double duties our sister adr director for episodes 10 and 11. she's also directed stuffs such as gamers citrus and sukigaki way uh our other two script writers for episode seven we have emily neves who is winning for planetarian pop team epic and 27

10:02 and for episode 12 we have caitlyn barr who's written for other shows such as africa saturday man black clover and zombieland saga now now adr director however this is this is a new name we haven't talked about well we have brazil's assistant but she's making a debut on the grand stage here our adr director is natalie rose [Music] she's also directed herself she's already credited in what other shows and adr directed that's for episode three of ulysses john the ark and the alchemist night but she's mainly been assisted direct to our shows such as fuca yeah this is i believe this is her first

10:49 uh solo gig oh yeah it is very first so good on natalie first of all very good uh who'd like to take it from here uh i'll give it a start i took a sip of coffee and had coffee in my mouth okay we'll ask the coffee first coffee what did you think of the show it's it's hard to argue with that you made a very good point yes i literally just took a slip of my coffee i'm not like see judging from the coffee's face it has a very it has a very consistent it has a very consistent layer to it it can be a

11:34 little shaky at times but the consistency is solid strong and has a firm yet lasting taste with just the right amount of energy to really keep it going i cannot believe i'm actually making this bit work okay you're welcome i can't believe it either you're welcome boys so all in all uh kristen kristen has proven herself a very reliable uh scriptwriter when it comes to a fun little light novels and casual shows like this i think the dialogue is very natural without being too extravagant you can definitely

12:20 tell like when scripts go a little cr when she has a lot of a lot of creative craziness when it comes to some of her scripts i think this one's a little more controlled than some of her other projects but i think you could really tell from the way these characters talk and interact with each other that she has a really great she has a really great feel for character chemistry and that's a big thing about beaufort is just the way maple interacts with her friends and the world itself and i think kristin has a very natural natural penmanship with her dialogue that works really well for the fun light-hearted casual nature of the show and i think she really gets that across in the dialogue uh the direction is pretty good i'd say for

13:07 the most part the cast is good not particularly memorable but i definitely say like the stars of this one definitely stand out quite a bunch including like our main our main two in particular i think they are excellent in particular and i think the direction that like honestly considering this is her first solo gig it actually is a pretty like impressive it is pretty impressive and strong too consistent throughout i think natalie did a pretty pretty bang-up job for this one and i look forward to seeing her log back in for her next one she's gotta get those dailies you know

13:54 this isn't a gotcha game dude there's daily quests for mmos too still there's like there's daily login bonuses for any sort of like online game where they incentivize don't you ignore me for the i'm coffee not to spit it out all over everything okay i guess while steph's trying to drink her coffee i'll go next so yeah with kristen i know she does very well with these kinds of things uh write a lot about fantasy video game worlds of course this is not a first rodeo i i do i do like how like she doesn't

14:39 really have to punch up as much if she doesn't need to but she manages to stay faithful to the original source which in some cases was a little hard because you know at the time the the light novel manga wasn't available yet but she did very well with what she was given made everything stand out i think my well one of the episodes she directed was kind of my favorite because episode 11 i watched episode 11 so many times in both the japanese and the english because i was so weak words i couldn't wait to finish both of you it slaps so damn hard like no bad it still makes me emotional no matter how many times i watch it if you know what happened to episode 11

15:26 you know and the fact that it still matches to maintain that integrity in the english that's a very good part question but as a whole i am impressed with how natalie handled this stuff very well because like you said like some of the people aren't that memorable but like the way she balances this cast out out you know like you got your old school people you leak of legends you do school uh basically like she manages to pass out everybody very well you know like yeah i guess take fakes one week at a time like up until you know when covered happened and then it was just like we go from here but when she came back she came back in full force man and she saw that dub to the very end and i i

16:12 applauded that that was one of the reasons i gave her w was because you know yeah doing some shows with some stronger cast so it's a more defined cast but i thought with both of me you know you you could take people out of the elbow a little bit and still make it work if you have the proper direction you know i think for that command very well as for emily katelyn though emily wrote the uh episode episode 7 where they went to the level 3 world where i know maple had a quest to help a mother daughter out there i thought that was kind of a little difficult because you know you're right for npc dialogue but they can't address because they don't have ai

16:58 themselves and caitlyn writes the last episode which uh maple really goes off the deep end i thought that was [ __ ] impressive i thought those two did a very good job every time i did a very good job you know all right so i'm good here how about you steph you finished your coffee yet ah i didn't i didn't finish my coffee but um i did put it down i'll stop slurping it now okay um writing wise i really really enjoyed it i've really the more shows with kristen as the head writer um that i've seen the more i kind of have understood um not only her process having talked to kristen herself um but how like the quirks and the

17:46 little bits uh that she would integrate into um her scripts in the dialogue as well and beaufort is no exception because it's so it's punchy it's a lot of fun um it's just so easy to breeze through and understand especially especially for someone like me who's not generally a big video game nerd um the gaming logic and not logic the gaming um lingo system that's probably the best way but the gaming ecosystem and the lingo and all that fun stuff was made easy for me to understand um so i commend kristen on that one and emily and caitlyn too um it may i i'm not gonna lie

18:32 i did not know emily and caitlyn helped write a couple episodes before you showed me this lineup i didn't know until i saw the whole video released so the fact that all three of these ladies made the script basically seamless um even with three different writers essentially kudos to all three of you uh directing wise i really like the direction on beaufrey and i have to commend natalie for that one the casting's a lot of fun um she definitely had fun with someone directing probably the more comedic moments especially and some of the game-breaking [ __ ] that maple does oh i can imagine how much fun natalie had directing

19:18 um maple as well as the rest of maple tree and their reactions to maple suddenly breaking the game for the sixth time or millionth time in the show um the casting is so much fun the comedic timing is there um yeah 100 kudos to natalie on her first solo directing gig and i really hope i really hope she gets to do more directing soon we haven't she hasn't like directed anything since this i don't think which is kind of sad but i hope she gets to get her hands on something again soon or at least gets to come back for season two because this [ __ ] this show does end with a confirmation that season two is coming right but i i hope she gets to direct something else soon

20:05 i hope so too so but everybody did a very good job are we ready to move on here heck yeah let's do it okay also on the off chance kristin might be listening i know you read the manga for the shows you like uh file you tend to magical go basic project if you want some backstory anyway let's move on to uh i i always got the impression that kristen very much always goes off her way to get the source material for her stuff but there's a very special reason that magical girl racing project is basically her favorite one that she's done i know but there's a very special reason i mentioned volume 10 but let her find that out so uh anyways so anyways before we move on i have a question for you what's happening uh what's your favorite candy

20:51 huh andrew if i tried to add to that we'd be here all night anyways mine's nerds you serve a [Music] andrew look that was an awful joke look i did not know that there was a name for this group of characters until i looked at this document we had to call him we had to call him something besides administrators i just i'll just try to be funny oh wait that's not their actual name no i just wanted to call him something i just was trying to be funny was right there so i figured hey why not that was a very okay so so for context here uh dear

21:37 listener uh jamal has this next group which is basically we were talking about the administrators of new world online here he listed them as the non-exclusionary responsible developers or the nerds i thought that was actually their official title no andrew could have [ __ ] fooled me okay i didn't know i thought you were doing a thing okay i was doing a thing he was doing a thing that's that's what they're called anyway anyway this bit is over can we talk about the administrators yeah the administrators the developers that's what if you want to call them

22:23 they're behind the scenes it try to keep the gamer check as well to try to keep the maple check because like steph said maple keeps breaking the game so many times because she defies all logic how that happens they'll never know see it happens because this game is not really well made no the reality is there's a lot of game there's a lot of mmos out there that are like really immaculate every like anime games seems like it is very immaculate they put their heart body and soul into it and sometimes sacrificed a couple thousand people for their uh unexplained reasons but you know a lot of anime mmos seem

23:09 very like state-of-the-art like high-quality things this is the kind of like lame like six out of ten game that's kind of just it they're basic you could tell everybody is like pulling all-nighters trying to make sure this doesn't fall apart these are the group of people making sure that this game doesn't fall apart how are you [ __ ] did you make a sword on online reference within that spiel andrew oh and i can explain that it's because there was long story short there was a q a with the creator and the voice of me or not the creators the people licensed at the impress and the voice of maple who will get to later and uh apparently it's pretty much uh

23:56 yubica red sword online and said hold my bear y'all watch this oh god no i know andrew just made that for reference for shits and giggles but that's funny actually hold my beard watch this i like that there's there's so many references in the show like at the administrator's headquarters you see a giant pokeball at the bottom to which the administrative buddies you see them in the middle of episode four what looks like after what looks like to be a pokemon style battle which an iceberg was defeated which was supposed to be a killable oh you mean the articuno i was wondering myself what is that inaudible i couldn't remember anyway they showed it uh four five eight

24:41 at the end towards the other 12 for a total of five minutes overall any time maple gets a new power up they have to spend ten more hours patching the game yep pretty much it got it got to the point that the for the fourth event had to be cut short by two days which you know because maple tree just [ __ ] destroyed the event oh my gosh who plays these people in no particular order they're played by off you ben phillips david wald lucy christian and sonny straits i'm not going to go over previous votes because they're not the show all that much they're just integral to maple's development if you will as well as the development of this game

25:26 or maple's nerf ament if you will that was a bad joke that was pretty yes it was yeah air just stared at me like really like that was not even worth a chuckle that was just pretty terrible i tried you try your best but you don't succeed just like the administrators oh man they are bad every every single like line of dialogue from them is just pure anxiety and betterment they always freak out they're like why what has she done now see at the end of the day they're only like this because of their own oversight like at this point all of the problems that they have that they are dealing with with maple

26:12 are things compounded for their own oversights and things they didn't factor in and consider yeah basically because like a lot of the things that they do with maple was like okay yeah no having a skill where you devour everything and making it so there's no no limit on that's pretty bad let's devour a goddamn poisonous hydra and gain even more poison resistance and summon the hydra the fact that like if you just make your vitality strong enough you're not going to take any damage and the more hits you get you acquire more better skills so you don't get any hits it's basically just like like if the vitality build is this [ __ ] imagine how ridiculous some of the

27:00 like agility builds are because you could affect like honestly if you put your skills and stats so much into uh agility you could have actual sonic the hedgehog ocs going around in this game and you can never stop them sally the hedgehog oh you you you joke but there's a video i made on twitter one time i put it to both the theme to city escape at green forest from psychic adventure 2. also i'm going to put on my invisible glasses right now there's already a sonic sally in the sonic universe her name is acorn thank you very much oh i'm away outside the acorn i just haven't seen

27:46 the sonic saturday morning version so uh she is sonic's girlfriend in sonic 7am she was a big part of the archie comics thing i got it yeah anyways is that the pink looking hedgehog no no that that's a b woes though i almost said sally's an acorn sally is uh god what the [ __ ] is she i um do i have to look this up she okay she she's a furry she's a furry and she has no pants on and i'm sure she was probably somebody's awakening that what look all i'm saying is before the era of b stars and bna no there were other furry awakenings

28:35 way back when in the early arts yes but most of us were kids back then so uh you awakening be damned you know see look when you're a child you discover a lot of things you don't quite understand about yourself or it's just like now i understand why do i have a crush on this furry looking female character i wonder if that means anything or not how many people have had crushes on like the furry disney characters like that one prince like how many people were into the fox robin hood characters i guarantee you how many people were wow i'm going a lot longer listen here yes you are listen here robin hood's a good movie [ __ ] off look nala gives simba [ __ ] me eyes

29:24 like but anyway going back to the administration i really don't have much to say about them i'm like funny i don't either they are a lot of fun what's weird is like okay so i saw your list jamal and i'm like wait offi is one of the administrators she does not show up until the last [ __ ] episode she does not it's funny because you see five administrators but she doesn't talk to the last episode right yeah and then here's what i don't know if you if you picked up on this jamal i know andrew did because we watched it together i think they swapped two of the administrators at the end of the show too cause like throughout the course of the ep of the show it david wald is the yellow one and sunny's the green one but in the last

30:10 episode for some unknown reason david suddenly becomes the green one and sunny's the yellow one i'm like what i'll probably have to check that again after this recording i noticed because we watched the last episode right before we were recording and i saw that i'm like wait i thought david was the yellow one and sunny was the green one hold on look all i know is they look like the things that step down madoka magicka oh lord but they do a very good job forcing these characters to provide insight they're from it's they provide insight to the game not much else there's some fun comedic voices with them kind of kind of cute it's like a cutesy mascot character is probably what the aim for this is and i

30:57 think it worked anyways they are fun and you can feel their anxiety and i hope they don't work themselves to death well i mean they're just letting mabel do whatever it is she wants at this point well that was after them trying to fight it before they realized we can't fight this she's basically become our unofficial mascot yeah basically yeah mabel's the unofficial mascot because the game has now seen a [ __ ] ton of new users so they're like okay i guess we'll let her do what she wants right now actually by the way if i'm to make one criticism about the actual anime adaptation they really should have done the chat logs in a much better way than just silent chat logs i know that's easy to do with a light

31:42 novel and i understand like i get what they're trying to do a cute chat room thing but like by god like no dialogue chat boxes do not do the show any favor and the subtitling on funimation is almost unreadable yeah i can tell you two things uh one i thought there was a special feature for that the blue race and two uh you you could pretty much like see that in the light now for the manga if that weight bothers you it didn't bother me y'all didn't show it so i i mean i can read it a lot better in the light novel i can read it at my own pace the problem is it is basically impossible in the anime and it feels like it feels like a waste of time and resources the segment kind of goes

32:29 really quickly and it's really just like a wall of text basically yeah i did it for the whole video release so it it does get a little bit difficult especially when the segment goes rather quickly it feels like they should have done like i know not every decision is always like necessary i feel like they either should have just straight up skipped those or they should have done it in a much more like creative way of just like a couple people just chatting and maybe they're ready to get over like computers all things considered they could have i mean it's probably at the end of the day japan's doing but um i mean somebody made the call i just don't agree i'm just saying okay they could have had some create like they could have done some narrating stuff because like for instance uh kuromu's character basically ends up

33:14 in the chat logs early on too i believe so they could have done it so okay not that sweet okay so let me sum this up real quick one the chat logs oh they just basically provided somebody the episode two you find out that you chat you i was gonna bring up late but you'll find out that the chat log most of it is from kurobu's perspective oh really is it so is it 100 yeah because i picked it up earlier on i didn't realize it went through the whole time though interesting wow that's really interesting it's a shame that the anime does a terrible job highlighting yeah he's the anonymous great shielder yet and three at three the buddy's a good good job just not well with the chat logs can we move on please this went

33:59 longer than i expected let's i mean yeah we went to talk about the administrators and then we just kind of delved into more nitty gritty yeah but yeah oh oh boy can we set things on fire jamal uh yeah but andrew's right next to you so uh it's fine he'll live yeah we are now we're gonna be talking about fire emblem three houses he says as megan played fire emblem tonight on twitch come watch us twitch.tv slash dub talk podcast we have fun [Music] yes we're gonna be talking about uh the

34:45 three guilds that make up the show start with our first guild we have the flame emperors aka the black eagles is that good oh it's going over my head okay uh massive guild you see them at the beginning of the second event of course the leader you only see the leader at first but everybody else you'll be later i think episodes eight or so yeah in the middle of the they're the third part yeah you'll beat the rest of the squad the third defense and they are made up of uh misery the priestess

35:30 marcus the i guess the skill trap master uh [ __ ] yeah or split split short split sword shin the warrior and the leader me so how do you say his name marcus i i know they say it in a weird way it's it's german they say german i think it's about germany but i think it's spelled is this about the same i gotta check the light not forget oh wait they haven't gotten that far never mind but yeah it's marcus mbrk us that's south sherman's police and yeah i said we do a eternal leader the eternal the charismatic leader that still becomes

36:16 very awkward when she thinks she did a bad yeah she's basically if you think about she's basically pride pastor because you see her true colors in the midst of a battle with a sally yeah as well as maple she awkward little girl awkward yes it's cute but playing these four mii is played by terry dodie shannon is played by derek snow marcus is played by eric disbuke and misery is played by borgia lorraine terry dottie you've also heard his boy koboyoka a recovery of an mmo junkie and maniac wave listen to me that's know you for the slowing and dance with devils eddie twitter and smile on the runway thank you for

37:04 the dance with devil's reference the pomeranian choir yeah what i've tried to do is i've tried to fit at least what i've tried to do is fit at least a video game go for each of these gotchas that's what devils was the closest thing i could get for derek snow even though he hasn't shown up in the mobile game so barbarian choir and this week you've heard this tamaki amaziki sun eater in my hero academia and my hero one just once justice to god that is a stupid goddamn title and and senku ishigami dr stone morgan lorraine you've heard this jessie how do you pop two double date and make kata okay in the sass addiction classroom cool so uh

37:53 i'm gonna go first on this one i'm gonna start with uh morgan and because these two don't do much as much of the show i told that i tell the i guess the push to the limit because i know morgan she usually plays like the sexy type of characters as well sometimes quiet types but lately she's been vegetarian to other wolves and i'm kind of impressed but misery he's a very good character very great nothing to stand outish i say that and i picture her in my head uh aaron is marcus and he's just being a little emo boy and for two years we mostly kind of known him for that so there should be no problem that's one of the reasons i list i'm a cheeky so uh

38:38 yeah i'm a cheeky's not emo he's just socially awkward he's not evo he just has anxiety don't you call my son emo you bastard he just wants to go home okay okay then seriously like i i love the first episode of season five where him him and uh have to play villains for the training exercise deku's trying to get into it it's like what do you want from us villain to go home as soon as i catch up i'll laugh with you

39:25 you love it it's so good it's a fun little moment yeah my son oh my god the odd one out of his derrick snow and i i've never really heard derek's notice these types of characters before but i think this if i remember correctly i think this proceeded but smiled [Music] oh yeah they were both at the same time happening at the same time because smile got delayed too when when yeah it was the same it was the same winter season yeah it was the same season yeah that's right but hearing derek's on show is pretty impressive because when he heard in japanese a little the japanese had a little deep and daring it was just being his usual self but i guess with a different tone it actually kind

40:10 of worked to be honest uh shin is pretty cool and i like his unique sword ability that seems like a really fun power to have an mmo it kind of reminds me of like i'm not sure what i would describe me but i i really think that's a cool power anyways and i think derek's guy derek's got a fun little voice and he has a lot of fun playing the part with shim i like his little rivalry with uh cosmic cosmic still kicked his ass though oh yeah yeah cosby still kicked his ass and went uh ultra instinct so that was fun oh yeah you're right [ __ ] it was literally ultra instinct you're right yeah and uh and then getting to terry

40:56 dory's week i like terry dodie in this world she uh after four she was actually my favorite of the guild because it kind of it kind of resembles a person a little bit because you see her she's a leader she stands out of the group to me it felt like she was being put on the pedestal a little bit that she she ends up being natural he's charismatic but when she lets her guard down like she's just a good person on the inside because i i know what well when i was a weak welder that ended up finishing this in japanese and this is a japanese and uh me was kind of kawaii i was worried myself how is terry gonna match that and it turns out she didn't really need to match that like she still reflected the uh

41:43 the same value that uh the japanese actress did but per old spit on it because she didn't need to be kawhi she could just be herself and it worked out very well and i thought that was a reflection of i guess of terry's personality a little bit and then wave listen to me happen but that's for another day i still need to watch waveless me i'm behind on a lot of things i only just finished [ __ ] um skating auditing shimamura yesterday like you said you thank you i saw the finish hori mia higurashi you think you're behind on a lot of things the studios are catching up at full force steph i am unstoppable oh [ __ ] i'm still here waiting for moriarty to patriot though

42:28 what the [ __ ] manifested so i am manifesting please give me more hour to the patriot i have been patiently waiting for a while now funimation the [ __ ] anyway but yeah everybody in this group was very good of course terry joyce might stand out as a matter of fact if you're watching this you're on the the on the discord i'm on you see my advertisement so oh yeah now i got it i'm like okay i didn't put two and two together mommy i'm good so uh i'll jump in uh so shin marcus and misery are probably gonna be very very quick for me um because they're not

43:14 too too involved uh misery morgan the ray kind of plays it as like the big sister role of the group big i'm sorry both figuratively and apparently literally um well then um she's got a really big heart yes she has a very big heart and she's very sweet and caring and she has so much faith in me and her leadership and morgan brings that across very very well and i enjoy it oh here's the three houses reference for you babe misery is mercedes see that doesn't work for this scenario

44:00 it doesn't quite work for the scenario but considering misery as a character now if you want to really bring this to the whole black eagles edelgard thing she's dorothea no i know why you're saying mercedes because she's got a little more of the blonde rrr healer energy to her but dorothy has also got some huge knockers and she's basically everybody's big sister that everybody wants anyway i still think mystery is more of mercedes but i digress um morgan the ray is fun big sister all right uh marcus is lindhardt will you stop aaron is marcus um

44:48 he sounds kind of casual but he's also but he also sounds like he's done with this horseshit it's it's almost it's not socially awkward like amajiki is but amaziki is also done with horseshit sometimes and that's the same kind of similar energy that aaron brings to marcus and i really enjoy that he's just like why what it's like you really sure this works like yeah and he just wants he's done he just wants to go home he's like all right whatever um derek as shin oh man i have not seen a derrick snow character that is this level of cocky

45:35 and snarky like i've seen derek play kind of cocky characters before i guess shinra from fire force kind of goes there sometimes but not to this level of cocky and snarky um and i really enjoyed derek's performance of shin even though kosumi kicked his ass like she like she like a badass um but derek is fine but yeah terry is 100 the standout in this group um she is she's both she has a strong and kind of a regal presence um the charisma that you've said before is there and is so good but when things kind of start falling

46:21 apart and they don't go her way she kind of starts freaking out silently like away from other people because she doesn't want people to see her this way because they all see her as like this tough like strong leader and on the inside she's just like i don't know what to do i don't want to make people sad i don't want to disappoint them it's very cute it's very cute and it's very adorable and terry just has a blast with this one um but yeah i really like these performances so you bud uh derek snow is fun as shin also i wasn't quite sure who he was at first but then you said cocky attitude and then i realized he's he would be

47:06 ferdinand von hire oh sorry i i good lord no it's i it's ire it's it's pronounced ire not no it's ferdinand von eyer yeah no joke it's ferdinand van ir i listen to y'all too much anyways so yeah uh derek does a good job as uh shin that's furniture funnier that's very danger uh the sleepy gay lynn hart aka marcus uh aaron his muke does a good job sounding like a good little uh shy boy that's doing his best and trying not to stir the pot too much uh morgan lorraine sounds does a really good job as merciful all right all right stop comparing them

47:53 to three houses characters uh morgan lay sounds fine she's very she's very sweet supportive big sister rr energy uh terry dodie is delightful she's regal she's tough she's cool and badass but i love when she becomes a little she becomes a little bratty like really pissy and it's really funny i love like seeing her like how to break break her like regal strong authoritative character and then she's just the kind of she's kind of a sore loser it's really cute actually no yeah no terry does a good job and i like her b not not the me for we it's not nintendomies but me

48:40 god imagine some man you think somebody's made adelgard meatopia yet i wonder oh jesus anyway anyways no terry's great all right so i haven't said let's move on to the next skill the order of the holy sword i'm sorry i have i know i just said no more three houses comparisons this is just the blue [ __ ] it's just the [ __ ] blue lion i will figure this analogy out to make this pain is dimitri [ __ ] so i quit okay so pain is dimitri 100 drag is the dew drag is the guy with the big axe yeah

49:27 okay i kind of see dread is let's see he's an assassin dread could be felix because he's [ __ ] dread could be felix and frederica would be annie annie annie okay cool perfect now that we've established that and gotten out of the way now we can stop okay what's interesting about this guild is we're introduced to everybody the episode 2 however pain doesn't speak to episode 7. you see dreaded drag just ah oh well drag you've seen before the may defend as well as frederica dread you see after they these people would somebody decide to back together the former guild because paige is a level 60 player oh payne is supposedly the strongest

50:13 player of the game supposedly yes supposedly the shrugs played the game dread came in third in the first event frederica is worthy wait i thought maple was third no i mean no he was no trey was second sorry yeah red was second red was second frederica is the one of the first characters maple encounters when she starts up new world online drag came in fifth in the first event yep but we but yeah after a while these p just before the third event these people said the bad together for the guild and one of the things i realized is they did yeah these are some very tough [ __ ]

50:58 like you see them at the last third of the show they don't yeah the last they do they do not pull punches they do not pull punches dresses good at stealth federica is good to cast the spells drag is great as a warrior but it's pain that takes the cake because i realized something i said there was going to be some seo capacities in some ways he he kind of reminds me of heathcliff a bit he's kind of tough and actively seeking out oh no let me finish let me finish this you're right i hate it let me finish you're right he's tough and actively seeking out pretty much the strongest warrior he's calculated he's also voiced by cliff chapin

51:46 i say oh he cliff so who are the other members of the cast now that you've just straight up said that red is voiced by mike mcfarland federica is voiced by lindsay seidel and drag his voice by jed green clifford chapel you've also heard this katsuki bakugo with my hero academia my hero was justice 2 and the mew beecher burgers how about the suburban lord mike mcfarland you've heard of charlie dash in street fighter 5 and john kurdistani attack on titan let's decide though you've heard this

52:32 that jury had my hero academia by heroes awards justice 2 and nagisa giotto in assassination classroom chad green you've heard that supposed to go with grip guard ashes and illusions and hitoshi's shin shinzo and mayhew academy my son sorry shinzo is a good boy that hasn't been said you want to go first steph shinzo's a good boy i will hear no arguments i suppose i'll go first god damn you for that goddamn heathcliff like comparison jamal i swear to god add pud don't forget the puns i'm trying to forget the [ __ ] pun right now you bastard

53:18 um i gotta say this gag's a little steep let's remember cliff it's watching i swear to god andrew sorry steph i didn't mean to drive you over the edge you're asleep on the [ __ ] floor this keeps up i swear don't you touch me don't you pat my shoulder you [ __ ] oh lord okay so lord um all four of these characters are a lot of fun um trying to find my notes on this uh

54:04 micah's dread is a bit more of like a casual tone similar to um similar to jean kierstein an attack on titan in a way um but uh did i have another note for him too but he's also he's also a sneaky son of a [ __ ] and he knows it and it cut and it really just comes across um with his performance and it's so much fun especially especially when he goes on his own to try and steal the orbs from maple tree and he goes 1v2 against the twins um lord he's a pain in the ass both great uh lindsay as frederica uh she's very cute she's very adorable

54:54 but um lindsay lindsay has some spunk of some sass here that's my note she has some spunk and some sass to her uh she she's very intelligent too because she's very much about like information and getting a leg up on everybody to the point where she falls for uh sally's fake skills bluff very hardcore um and to see that shock was kind of funny um but yeah lindsay is is adorable and precious uh jared green is drag is also a lot of fun i did i actually have notes i don't think i did for him um he's drag kind of gives an interesting

55:41 dynamic to this group this guild here um in terms of like the typical warrior like a bit more gruff is like come fight me peasants like that kind of thing um and i think it works very well and jared has had some experience playing a warrior type character because moguzo though moguzzo is a gentle giant um then we have clifford's pain [ __ ] heathcliff i swear to god um and similar to terry's me cliff has a kind of like noble and regal tone to him like a full-blown leader um will lead his men to lead his men into battle in order to win

56:27 and the left home works very very well but he's also pretty casual when he [ __ ] loses too cause cause when um maple decides to go full monster mode on them in episode 12 and goes into like take a bite out of pain pain justice series like eh all right i i i'll take this loss it's fine whatever and he doesn't give a [ __ ] that he's getting eaten or nothing he's just casual about it it's kind of amusing it kind of makes me giggle about it a little bit actually um but no i think i actually real i can't really say

57:14 there's a standout in this group because all four of them did very very well um the closest i could probably think of could either be mike or lindsay but that's probably because they have more screen time compared to um cliff and jarrod but um no all four of them i really do enjoy them and and they [ __ ] deserve to get their asses handed to them by mapletree you [ __ ] they got consumed by a kaiju as they [ __ ] deserve bastards all right you wanna go next andrew uh so uh mike mcfarland does a good job being sneaky ninja man he's fun and cool

57:59 but i hated him when he threw a knife at obero i'm like you [ __ ] [ __ ] you leave that adorable baby fox child alone how dare you how dare you how dare you hurt oprah anyways mike does a good job oh wait doesn't he doesn't he also throw a knife at [ __ ] mape he got syrup he throws a knife too he's got this guy dred's a [ __ ] he's a [ __ ] labeled bonafide [ __ ] alert mike mcfarlane does a good job don't hurt syrup syrup is the goodest little bean syrup is good turtle and natalie is good turkey all right yeah we're not gonna talk about it natalie is good turtle natalie is

58:47 adorable as syrup and i love i love syrup's relationship with like kuromu because they're just kind of hanging out when he's just going off doing it we're best friends it's so precious it's so cute anyways i should probably actually talk about these characters uh mike's good [ __ ] dread um uh frederica uh lindsay seidel is an adorable little sassy gremlin child uh she's pretty casual and cool at first but i kind of love it when she loses her cool at the end it kind of starts freaking out and is basically rage quitting at the fact that uh maple kicked their ass and she's just going hacks i call hacks like a yep loser frederick is like what

59:33 the [ __ ] yeah uh drag is big buff beefy boy and he does good big beefy muscle screams and clifford chapin does a very good job as this edgy little hero man he does a good job being very uh chuni fantasy man and he does kind of look like to be he he's like a mix of looks like he's a mix of pre and post time skip dimitri yeah because he's got he's got the bappy virgin energy of pre-time skip demetrius like the look of ghost but the long hair of post dimitri yep wait now they think but i forgot he's also a character in fire up the face isn't he

1:00:19 he's i'm probably fire emblem heroes he's in heroes is a different game it's one i own the collector's edition but i have not finished heroes is the mobile game with all of the heroes that people get that actors get to get there's a lot of people there's a lot of characters you can pull from them i haven't played heroes in a hot minute either anyway yeah he's wanting to fire up the bills anyway yeah [ __ ] dread this is the name of my anxiety cover bad so [Laughter] i'm for it let's go yeah feel free to have that one maggie boys anyways i'm i'm gonna stop backwards uh we start with drag i don't know why but

1:01:06 i spot a big beefy boy bustle or what if it was he just said so dude that's a pretty good job he doesn't get a lot to do but what he does bad is something let's excite though is frederica uh federica she she could be a bit charming of course she could be annoying as well but i think one of my favorite things about her is she can kind of get food easily if she's not paying attention such as to duel with hers between her and sadly which sadly kind of faked her out her few attacks or you find out in the fourth event those were not real attacks she's just that athletic yeah she's she's another monster just

1:01:53 like maple no she's not monster she's naturally skilled sally i mean not maple sally i mean sally is just sally may be naturally scaled but she could borderline being a monster like maple can yeah mike mcfar in this dread i don't really hear mike mcfarlane a lot of big roles as much but what i do i know it him he did very he did very well as strange like playing the character like of course we don't know what the age of characters he's just very stealthy very reserved his emotions are basically steeled away and he purchased this character as if

1:02:39 this was a a very serious thing but he knows how to have fun at times but why everybody had their own respective moments i gotta give the edge a little bit to pay and clifford chapel is paid because like i said i was weak will that continue this is the japanese so the end of episode 11 really hit so i was wondering myself when the uh dub finally came back in six months later like would it have the same effect it actually did and part of that was clifford's dedication because if anybody ever follows cliff at any given time by twitter you know how big of a gamer he could be here the man is dedicated he's he's dedicated to the preservation of the ps vita

1:03:24 so he he she's been hunts all day every day armor kids veda means life that's why but that's not even a meme stephanie it lit vida quite literally means life he doesn't achieve behind all day every day that's part of the rooster teeth but uh well yeah he still stands i know i know but yeah he did he did a very sad job as this character fake convinces uh it's a non-vocal character that you could really dig the performance into you know because you know nowadays he's known for being what's supposed to be keg explosion murder but who the hell knows so hitting him as a different type of character with a different type of person that uses a

1:04:10 different type of voice it's always refreshing you know no matter what cliff does you know it just kind of seems like it's natural range except just a little bit it is it is natural a little more heroic which is cool yeah like it's kind of interesting that some people sometimes forget that actors are more than just one character and that they can actually you know act um like i think a lot of the characters from my hero because that's the big show nowadays in recent memory where people kind of forget cliff is a good example of us like cliff is more than just back ago he could do things like pain he can do things like [ __ ] um kirschites from uh galactic heroes and like he can do other things and just

1:04:59 go it's just bakugou was very popular all of his performances are worthy of our grace oh good good i'm gonna bring up my hero nato right foot entirely different reason but i think we're all good to move on how about that all right don't you start don't you [ __ ] start i know what he was getting that i was just wonder if you do no and i don't no i don't yeah you don't

1:05:44 play a lot of mario that's for sure [ __ ] i hate you both can't wait okay can we talk about this can we talk about the hammer twins yes the habit hammer twins hammer twins hammer twins the cutest the cutest and yet but probably among the most deadly [ __ ] little girls you could ever see or ask for they're so sweet cute denny that's the fiba to that show i know right it's beaufort in a nutshell yes so we have the habit twits made you we it will introduce them episode four but we don't see them again so i think just before the third event when

1:06:30 they recruited by the maple tree guild much like maple they wanted to max out all their attack points to the point of insanely strong yo and break a damn table actually in case you want to talk about this is a game where if you just basically hardcore pump it into one skill you could just make insanely broken builds these girls are insanely broken pills yeah i think it's i think it's what the i think is what is the like novel called the maximum bill that kind of thing oh they're oh yeah no they're total mid maxers for sure yeah i i i owe you heard that myself recently but yeah these two ways said these drugs they're twins and sisters this that would there's not too much to

1:07:16 describe the mother that they're adopted cute they're but they were deadly i want them to grow big and strong and they grow up very big and very strong i won't say you were actually writing more ways to word that trooper play these two base voiced by sir ragsdale and yuri's voice by scriptwriter kristen mcguire [Music] oh yeah yes it's been a hot minute since we talked about sarah ragsdale i think so yeah but i did this uh christopher

1:08:03 mcguire you've also heard this hidden occur hoshiki the sass addiction classroom murray it's dr stone and because this is me for a video game bro she is mother furious in borderlands 3 3 psycho creek at the fantastic foster club dlc that is a title i i'm more impressed that you said the entire full name of that good on you bud that is a name of a all right i'm assuming a dlc i'm pretty sure it's a dlc pack yeah i said it was a dlc i know i haven't played the e5 i haven't played borderlands 3 yet so it's been a hot minute anyways i i lost myself i need to play borderlands again since i bought it a couple months back all right

1:08:48 uh can i go first yeah yeah uh so i'll start off first uh kristen does a great job as yui she does a good job giving her the older like she definitely has older sister vibe but she does a good job playing little sassy bean and she is just like she has that feeling of where she will basically she will be big she will act bigger and bolder than she actually is and it's adorable and precious and i can feel her doing like a fake like so full of herself laughs like when she gets something to go her way but no she's actually just a cute little dork and kristen does good job making her sound like a cute

1:09:35 precious little dork i wasn't sure how i felt about sarah as meg at first i think of what i've heard of sarah this is a lot higher airier raspier than i'm usually used to her hearing i think she does make it work out but it kind of took me an episode or two for it to really adjust for me where i feel like most of this cast it sounded like everybody was at least adequate too strong i felt like sarah as may took the longest for me personally to adjust but i think by the end of it both uh sarah and kristen did a really good job uh getting getting into these rules

1:10:25 all right didn't mean to hammer that point in that hard but hey oh jesus christ forget a rib shot just take a habit to his head i need a hammer first oh wait i have an actual hammer and my little tool kit i could grab stop okay much like much like the wood decks don't go for it steph it's not hammer time andrew shut the [ __ ] up i i the way her eyes lit up he said he said stop and i look at him immediately like eyes wide and i'm like you [ __ ] i love you so much i i wasn't sure if you tried to quote mchammer yes he was anyway i think i'll go out next that steph copped out a little bit

1:11:12 before i punch him and throw him on the floor for this stupid take yes yeah so with christopher mcguire i thought chris i gotta be careful but chris mcguire did a very good job play yui you're definitely right it's to me it sounds like she might be the older sister but she carries herself like the older sister yeah yeah but we can't we can't actually be sure to like more d like that forces stuff come on anyway she did very of a great very good job killing herself as what could be the older sister especially when paired up with the same accidents big because that's the thing too why you realize between the two christie only had to picture her voice a

1:11:58 little sarah told hers up high because i've heard sir of accident other roles as well and she it actually to her it actually sounds like i could differentiate between older s between uh older characters several places and younger characters but also she has like a it's kind of sick soggy quality to her voice too much anytime i hear it i like automatically know what sir back still [Music] like 2t but sometimes can be tricky but i think they both did a very good job portraying sisters if it is to find that amazed younger sister fake definitely very good job sir and very good job kristen i did very well that's all i have to say

1:12:45 how about you steph um kind of gonna sorry disagree no sorry um so i kind of have to lump the two of them together because they're twins and it's not that they're hard to differentiate the two apart because they both do have um different personality and tones to their voices it's because i can't take them apart because they're basically like like these cute but deadly little girls with hammers that will like knock you knock you off right the [ __ ] out and they're both so precious um they're both so [ __ ] precious and

1:13:32 when they attack they usually attack together so they always talk at the same time with the same lines and it's for me that's why i can't differentiate them really that much because a lot of stuff they do they do together and especially in their fights it's so [ __ ] precious um yeah but based on what based on actually trying to put these two separate for a hot minute um i do agree kristen kind of gives up got gives off the vibes of being like the older sister of the pair um she has a lot more spunk more energy of the tu uh and it comes across really well sarah first of all sarah's always a welcome voice to be heard because i don't get to

1:14:18 hear sarah ragsdale too often please i would love to have see hearing more things again that'd be great okay thanks bye um but my only point of reference because it's been a hot minute since i've seen surrey dairy children but my only frame of reference really that i can remember at least remember somewhat for sarah is dikashikashi and this is very different obviously um because she's saying yes she is okay because kasaya is more of like the no-nonsense no-nonsense attitude kind of like casual kind of girl where mei is more like the quiet kind of shy

1:15:04 kind of girl compared like between her and her sister huey and so very different tone of voice that i've that i'm hearing from sarah one um two like i think it's very cute and adorable i have i had to adjust for like at least one episode maybe two only because it's a very different tone for sarah that i've never heard of before um but other than that like the two of them together are very cute and precious and i love them and i want to protect these girls with my life dude the [ __ ] [ __ ] um what was mike's character dread [ __ ] dread for being such a dick such a dick don't throw your knives at

1:15:50 girls and foxes and turtles rude rude so rude anyway yeah they're both cute and durable and i like them hey so good move on then jeez oh you bastard for this labeling of the next section oh again i told you there'd be sao comparisons it's true uh the late novel author legit did say sao hold my beer watch this didn't she no it was okay what was it was pretty much a black i remember he talked about a few factors regarded sao i'd have to watch the interview again but i remember that was one of the things being mentioned like

1:16:35 especially with like some of these light novel protagonists of shows like that like be like uh you know bob bob here kind of boys like i think so he decided to make it girl wait right yeah that was one of the things he mentioned about it hang on you cut out for me what'd you say that was one of the things they mentioned in the interview i'd have to watch it again no though the thing in the thing before that you didn't repeat that i said that is i he talks about like you know this usual show that like novel protagonists be like bob head kind of boys like kirito yes yo that kind of thing oh you mean being vanilla insert lamos yeah he figured i'd be switching up and making a girl

1:17:21 so and he he did certain things in the market that was just because he didn't really have a reason entirely for certain things one thing i don't remember well thankfully this show is more of a comedy and it works very very well because mabel becomes op as [ __ ] uh contrary to the voice actor the voice actress who voices maple this is daddy no it's not she she's not an easy guy she can get out of the game whatever she wants she knows she kind of said that i hit the q a oh i'm like no no you do that right anyway let's talk about these two characters

1:18:07 because they're pretty much kind of little sao patties themselves we have to elizabeth of the group we have is an inventor crafter and we have to kind of the group kurobu or crow mr lightning awful likes to call it hey crow hey steph you wanna know what your sense for your block oh it's too close too many um well this chrome's not matt shipman so no this is not my science son thank you i i it's a cute pun but this is not my science son so no it's not but the the source material they actually call him quote that's pretty much what kroger

1:18:54 is in japanese i think he's still not he's still not my science on chrome so no he's not even chrome he's more crimson hey consider the next section thank you for that andrew but he is clanded armour though yeah no he he's he's kind of klein but a little more chad he's not a chad he's more chad than klein oh my god kurt no kuromo is a bro he cares about his guild mates you [ __ ] he's a good dude he respects his friends that he gets along with turtles yes how is that like a chad it gets more

1:19:40 screen time to cry you though after decline as evidence as if this by the tr despite the treasure he picks up half in the second half of the show he calls himself like the king of dying it's like boys you gotta you got a bad shield if you're getting off that much bro yeah and as we alluded to in the uh early sections uh the chat logs you see at the end of the show is mostly from the is mostly from crow's perspective because if you if you read titles you see a diamonds great show that he's the united show wow that would be very interesting to actually explore and maybe even elaborate and go into that a little more here we go i'm

1:20:26 sorry that chat log is [ __ ] terrible in the anime i'm gonna have to like i'm gonna have to go back to those chat logs now that i know that like 100 it's through kuromu essentially like i have now that i know that yeah go back and read them that is interesting but i i genuinely couldn't i thought it was the one time like i rewatched the show i think three

…
