I had given up on the show during episode 5, but after you all talked up the last few episodes I decided to give it another shot. I’m glad I did, episodes 8 & 9 were more along the lines of what I was wanting out of this show. I’m hoping it will keep this pace up!

So what we really need to do is send Matt packs of the one piece TCG and he’ll be all in on the show.

Appreciate the periodic One Piece updates, Nick! I've continued my journey to the Grand Line with Wiger's Piece, on chapter 165. It's been excellent, and my pal who has seen the entire anime is reading through the with me as well. What I've been doing to efficiently chip away at this daunting project: reading "one chapter per day" but often letting a few build up. So if I'll miss 5 days, when I get some time to read I'll try to catch up on 5 chapters. I started March 24, 2024, so I know "where I should be" and I catch up to that point. If I continue with this "one chapter per day" plan, we will be caught up to the current chapter (1124) on April 21, 2027.

Proud and embarrassed to admit that I did have a Duel Disk when I was a kid

Matt you NEED to read the YuGiOh manga vol 1. The entire premise of YuGiOh was completely different and based around the pyramid thing, and then like <10 issues in, he plays a card game, and then they just play that card game instead for the rest of the series.

Nick Barbella

I don't watch the episodes, idk why I'm here

KidKimura

I don't understand how anyone can say "What is love?" without immediately following up with "Baby don't hurt me".

Murphy

I read Violet’s relationship with the Major as romantic on her side and fatherly on his side. I always just saw him at treating her like a little girl whereas she can’t/doesn’t separate the two kinds of love.

So I got influenced by Heather and ended up buying a pair of gundam crocs….despite the fact that the only gundam I’ve seen was with the pod.

BensDecoy

I wanted to point out Benedict’s slutty high heeled motorcycle boots after, I think, episode 2 when Nick was really going in on him being a lunch cuck but these comments can only be so long.

J-Train

I like how Violet met a lady, stormed out of her house then said hey she had a cool name I think I'll take it.

Firstly, I recently got into Plamo (like Gunpla without the Gundam) because of all the Gunpla talk between Matt and Heather. Built Asuka and Shinji's Evas, and now on to Rei's! Got my eye on that MG Sazabi next... Secondly, I just want to say that I'm one of the folks who listen to the show and don't always watch the animes. Pluto, Eva and Cyberpunk were the only ones I watched along with y'all. I come for the banter and stay to see if Nick spills his drink each week.

I agree that these 2 episodes felt like a really satisfying conclusion to the show. But I agree with Heather on this, triscuit is the best cracker and even better with cheese. I love the texture, the flavor, how it breaks in half easily. Also adding that I to watched yu go oh but in high school since it was on after school. I would hate watch it to make fun of it, but then get absorbed into the show and how magic bullshit saves the day. Matt I would recommend the manga on Shonen jump app. I read a lot of it when Shonen jump was first published in America. The first part has YuGi lighting a guy on fire.

Robot House

Yu-Gi-Oh makes little sense but that's because they pulled a Dragonball Z and started in the middle of a story. Before the card arc Yugi was basically Jigsaw and it's worth tracking down the manga

David Mucci

I share Heather’s general feelings on X-Men ‘97, and I will say, it’s also generally how I feel about Violet Evergarden overall. I don’t think it’s bad, nor do I love it, but I am glad I watched it.

Chris Reyes

As someone not watching the show, I was genuinely confused by the sudden inclusion of Santa

Echo in the Mirror

Of course the Gundam fan would be in once we got to the war crimes and the child soldier parts of the story. Just kidding Heather, we love you! <3 <3 <3

SchniedelWutz

I used to really like Léon: The Professional, but "I like to read it that way" doesn't work anymore, when you read Luc Bessons Wikipedia page...

Ted Kord

Triscuits slap, the fire roasted tomato and olive oil flavored ones are the best cracked pepper and olive oil are a close runner-up though

Michael Pemulis

Triscuits are the best store bought cracker. Triscuits and peanutbutter and an apple, SweeTango or Rave, is often my post workout snack. Also, I'm ripped and jacked and I have a full thick head of hair and I'm handsome.

Buddy Jones

Just wanted to throw out a recommendation because of all the yugioh and TCG talk. There is a manga finally getting a western release next month called Destroy All Humans. They Can't Be Regenerated. A Magic: The Gathering Manga. The manga is about a middle school kid in the nineties playing MTG, dueling against rivals and trying to be the best. It also heavily references what 90s Japan otaku culture was like.

LagerB

It’s me, I’m the guy who doesn’t watch the show who now thinks Violet Evergarden is a Santa origin story

Old Man Kate

Finally, something interesting happens.

Riley Flischel

I think Violet's coworkers sending her a letter instead of talking to her in person was beautiful. They respected her desire to be alone while also showing that they were thinking about her. Violet could read the letter at her own pace and in the safety of solitude. I love this show!

fab jelly

Heather is right, goldfish suck. Triscuits are good but I don't think they belong in the same category... ain't nobody putting cheese on a goldfish cracker

Will Hoff

Violet Evergarden has stirred such strong emotions in me with its stories about mail, finally fulfilling the 27-year-old dream of Kevin Costner's The Postman.

Spudowski

I unfortunately haven't watched Violet Evergarden yet, but listening to you guys is more important to me by a long shot. Also, I don't have Netflix and I'm paying to listen to you. P.S. As far as crackers go, I gotta say that my favorite cracker in the discussion is Nick Wiger.

Transfem Surge!

The breif action here reminds me of D-Dog from Metal Gear V: Phantom Pain. She just moves soldier to soldier like Diamond Dog does with his little tactical knife.

Peter Yao

re: my last name, you got it on the second try (like "yow"). Thanks for reading my comment !

Steven_pistachio

I watch about 1/2 the shows! Some I watched prior, some along with, others nope! Violet is a just listen for me.

Jamie Hill

Fuck this show lol. Episode 10 had me and my wife weeping. I do think Matt had a point though where each episode is teaching Violet a different type of love (especially the early episodes); sibling love(sister with drunk brother), overbearing Familial love (Iris’s family), Duty bound love (royals), Lost Love (letters without a home), etc.. I’ve been loving this show and never would have watched it without the podcast.

Luke Lamar

I share in Heather's frustration that we didn't get more context to the child soldiering of Violet. Like is she the only one? That would be weird. Makes me wonder if the subtitle of 'weapon' is a mistranslation or carries different weight in the Japanese as for what she is.

Doc Robot

I was taking in these eps and when the montage of Violet walking around town and the people she's helped was playing tears just started pouring out of me. I didn't think this show was "working" on me but I literally had to pause it and get some tissue. Something about Violet having such a hard time validating her existence and feelings while being surrounded by the memories and images of the people she's touched and helped through her journey really cracked me open.

I don't usually watch the episodes. I tried this one but I wasn't into it.

S

this might be one of my favorite episodes. you guys were In a silly goofy mood

Spider-Skull Island

I just searched Ash Ketchum reading and immediately found pics of Ash reading. Was he just pretending to read because he was embarrassed!
