Man, these two episodes had me cryin' in da club for real. Violet chasing that woman through the streets like the T-1000 was hilarious. And then, a twist! Violet Evergarden? More like Violent Evergarden standing on deck with knife in hand like Thorfinn...very excited for the next episodes.

Me writing a letter that will make every man’s heart pound: ( o Y o )

Don't let Matt make you worry about Chainsaw Man, it's currently great. Truly absurd, funny and horrifying in equal measure. But if Matt wants some recommendations for complete manga to read with a Shonen Jump subscription, Golden Kamuy and Dr Stone both got to wrap up as intended. Mashle did too, but if you're finding Chainsaw Man testing, the pacing of the final arc of that might drive you up the wall.

I’m self-proclaimed guy who gave up on Violet Evergarden halfway through episode 5 and rewatched Detroiters instead! Maybe if the twist at the end of episode 5 that you all mentioned pays off I might jump back in, but I was just too bored unfortunately. But I’ll happily continue to listen to you all talk about it!

I didn’t catch the special on my first watch of Violet Evergarden a few months ago, so I’m glad you covered it because it gave me an opportunity to watch one of the better episodes of the show! I think it’s one of the vignette-like episodes that does a great job at capturing one of the show’s larger themes: what it means to love amidst the despair and violence of war.

Rachael

Once again, I’ve barely made it into the episode and I have to scream with joy that Heather mentions the Vision of Escaflowne. I love that series so goddamn much! ❤️

I have to really agree with Matt regarding CSM for a while now I've felt like I was reading it out or obligation more than anything. It does some interesting stuff, but im ready for it to move on. As for violet evergarden the special episode really hit me. I had a funny moment because I was watching it on the treadmill at the gym and the whole song reaching out to her lost lover really touched me. I was tearing up a little and had to be like control yourself! Great couple of eps

I found it funny but not surprising that Heather was like "FUCK YEAH!" at the prospect of seeing war machine Violet Evergarden mowing down people while I was like "OH NO! I WANT HER TO FIND OUT WHAT LOVE IS!" Really only "funny" because I'm posting this with the username "MacheteOfOdin" and I'd rather see kawaii stuff. I was so happy to hear Heather bring up The Vision of Escaflowne. I mentioned it in the comments a few eps back as a great shoujo anime to watch. I agree that it straddles the line between shonen and shoujo but it definitely feels more directed towards young women/girls. I am enjoying the current arc of Chainsaw Man quite a bit but I do understand Matt's frustration. The release schedule and speed at which you can get through a chapter definitely makes it "drag" a bit. Matt, you might need to go back to banking the chapters or just switch to reading the volumes (tankobon) to fully enjoy it again. A clip from Plus-Sized Elf not-so-randomly showed up in my Instagram suggestions the other day and I am not surprised to hear Nick already binged all available episodes. If I had hidive, I would have done so as well.

My fellow weebs, it is week 2 of my campaign for Mob Psycho 100. It is my goal to have our hosts watch Mob Psycho, either on the pod or on their own time, as well as any other listeners who may be interested. I’ve heard the criticism of Violet that she is an autism-coded character within the cliched trope “robot who doesn’t understand human emotions.” If you’d like a show with a well-done and respectful representation of an autism-coded character allow me to introduce Mob. Mob is not a character devoid of emotion, although he often appears stoic or spaced-out. This is not because he has no emotions, but because his powers are directly fueled by his emotions. If he were to let any emotion fully overcome him, whether it be rage, sorrow, joy, he fears that he will lose control of himself, potentially hurting others. This show also shows well-written interactions and relationships between Mob and the other characters. Mob is shy and unskilled despite his immense powers, but strives to improve himself personally over the course of the show despite his natural affinity as a psychic. While this brings the ire of others who choose to tease or manipulate Mob, he also gains friendships and develops a support system of people who truly respect and appreciate Mob for who he is and his efforts to better himself. If you want a show that provides a respectful and relatable representation of this struggle, I urge you to check out Mob Psycho 100.

Jay Leno made Cop Rock jokes, during his monologue, for, at least, ten times as long as the series actually ran. Also, once Steven Bochco was mentioned, I just knew, after nine years of listening to Wiger, that the Benzali dump anecdote is 100% the kind of thing that would be floating around at the surface of his brain.

Lydon Bergin

I don't really have anything interesting to add, but it's very disorienting as someone named Lydon to hear the hosts saying "Leiden" (city name pronounced the same as my weird name) multiple times per episode... and then they say Lydon Shaft Lick...

Gamblore

Nick: "Nah, not like ChatGPT" (goes on to describe exactly what a large language model does...) She takes a massive amount of input and transforms it into human sounding writing without actually understanding the words she is writing. Might as well call her Gemini.

BensDecoy

Violet Evergarden the character in the anime makes me wonder how Violet Evergarden the light novel is written. By episode 4 I realized my problem with her and by extension the show is that it feels like we’re missing all of Violet’s interiority. I’m not saying a journal format where she narrates, “and this is how a warehouse of love letters made me realize…” would be amazing but I’m struggling to see how she learns or pretends to learn anything. PS The Special needs to be where it is to keep the stuffed dog continuity correct. It is on its side on the floor in ep 4 and then upright on her desk in ep 5. Violet puts it there in the Special.

As soon as Nick started talking about his “What We Been Weebin’” I knew he was talking about “Plus-Sized Elf.” I too had checked it out thinking it looked funny. I was not expecting it to be THAT horny but anyway I also watched all 5 episodes and checked out the manga.

GoonScape

Matt! While you’re waiting for Chainsaw man to pick back up I think you would LOVE Bleach. The manga rips 🤙🏻

Deacon Raid

I took an edible and watched the special, then followed it with Suzume (I had skipped it previously because my lovely wife expressed some interest), and finished the night with an episode of My Deer Friend Nokotan. It was a wild and very enjoyable evening that I gave you all to thank for it. Excellent vibes.

Eric Krohn

I work from home and still login late every day, so I can't really criticize that actor 😂

MK

I kinda wish this show wasn't so beautifully made so I could just write it off. I was already iffy about Violet and her commanding officer's relationship given the power dynamic and now they've added in that she's around 14 years old. Heather is right! This shit is made up, Violet has robot arms for fuck's sake, just make her an adult!

Jeff Byrne

I didn't recognize the major's brother at the end of episode five but once Heather pointed that out my immediate thought was maybe the major is still alive... but he was a war traitor and that's why nobody wants to tell Violet what's going on with him. She was just a tool of war so she was let go but he's doing hard time in a gulag somewhere never to see the light of day again!

Will Hoff

As a grad student I taught first year composition courses, and watching the OVA I had the realization that I would have shown this show in my class. The lessons that Violet is learning are the same ones I had to teach my students: about genre, voice, context, audience, research, plagiarism, code switching, and on and on. Not to mention the most important lesson any twentysomething English instructor can impart: the true meaning of love.

Pete Ficken

Oh man heather! My best childhood friends and I, watched this entire series of The Vision of Escaflowne, back when we could originally rip it off of the pirate forums! The first half is kinda flawless! The movie and second half…. I can’t wait to hear what you think

Rory McDaid

I know that it’s kind of redundant of me to say “Yoko Kanno is great” when they’re arguably one of the most important and well known anime composers around but… goddamn she really is so good. The Aquarion/Aquarion Evol soundtracks are great, and some that don’t get talked about as much as her better known shows. I’ve been rewatching Macross Frontier since it dropped on Disney a few weeks back and that’s another banger Kanno OST. Other favourite is definitely Stand Alone Complex as I just love that show so much, and her soundtrack is a big component of that for sure.

Andrew Ingram

Does Heather have any affinity for Sailor Uranus? Also put this in the ReYou crew thread because the Question Block was closed.

XRedGambit

I enjoyed the special and episodes, but it seems like there were some big steps taken out. She starts to understand feelings and is able to write. The special has her teacher calling her out as the best for lyrics when the last letter the teach read was "glad you didn't die." Episode 5 has her reported as the best in the city. As a tangent, can I request that Heather gives one nickname for big jugs in every episode of birth podcasts. I missed it after hearing it for 3 episodes in a row of the get podaverse.

Jamie Hill

Listening to Matt talk about no anime showing process made me remember “Keep your hands of Eizouken!” An anime about a high school girl who wants to make an anime and forms a club with unwitting other members. Honey and clover sounds awesome too.

Steven_pistachio

Here is suggestions for things to cover- the three gundam movies and char. FMAB! Is longer but so rich! Some Cowboy Bebop?

Will cline

I started a rewatch of the show and was reminded of a horrible fact about the animation studio having a fatal arson attack in 2019. Looks like they have rebuilt and at this point have produced two anime seasons as of this comment.

Murphy

Shaking my head during episode 5 so everyone knows I don’t agree with chile marriage.
