Manzai is what everyones talkin about with the straight man who whaps the dummy over the head with an oversized fan. Youre thinking of Rakugo where the guy tells funny stories, and if theres more than one character he turns his head and faces different directions and uses a different voice for each as if he were Gollum

It's as if in America people went "how is this supposed to be funny, he's not standing in front of a brick wall!" (I bet there are people in this country like that)

I've been watching the newest Bombin' the AM, and how can someone hate the voices in Dangan Ronpa? How can you hear Mondo's interstitial dialogue and not think it's amazing? Also, are "truth bullets" really such a horrific term for someone who has been through 999 and VLR?

Real talk, the official localization of Steins;Gate comes out at the end of the month and it's going to own. It's probably something Patrick should try out.

I dunno, Patrick playing up how weird Anime is and how he's ashamed of it because of "truth bullets" and "talking bears" was kinda cringey. There's plenty of anime bullshit that would be embarrassing to be exposed to, but laughing about "truth bullets" (which isn't even that weird in the context of videogames, where 50% of what goes on makes no sense) seems kinda like they're just going "lol, japan right? so weird."

And then that discussion was followed up a conversation about what children's movie they want to watch next.

Especially when his daily stream game is one involving naked children running around a basement vomiting blood on flies and collecting mom's used pad as a power up.

Winnie the Pooh is my favorite Anime.

Edit - Stepping away from being ironic for a second, Persona 4 had a talking bear that ended up growing a human adolescent within the void inside it by doing loads of push ups. I'm pretty sure I don't remember Vinny and Jeff's reaction to the character of Teddie being "Wow, so Japan guys! Talking Bear!".

I've been watching the ER again lately actually, their reaction to Teddy was basically 'that's weird' and then Teddy's situps to become human was basically "HOLY poo poo THAT RULES TEDDY IS HILARIOUS NOW" also Jeff loved the bear puns.

The weirdest part for me with how Patrick was reacting to a talking bear was that in the game it's made obvious that the bear is a machine the mastermind is using to talk to the captives and not an actual bear, and in VLR the main villain was a talking rabbit so I don't know why "talking animal is villain" would be so wacky for him now.

Yeah, that's the one. It's a really good, super disturbing Lovecraftian story. It has a couple of gratuitous anime porn scenes in it, but you can remove them with a patch.

There are some things better not brought up outside of ADTRW and Saya no Uta is probably one of those. Let's talk about how incredible Steins;Gate is instead. They make a freaking time machine out of a cell phone and a microwave oven!

If we wanted to get creepy about it we could discuss Chaos;head.

Seriously though, Steins;Gate is the poo poo. It's both really funny and super sad, all at once, and I cried many times (I even teared up at the anime movie even though it wasn't really that great from a story perspective).

Think of anime like indie games. A lot of them are derivative garbage, some more racist and/or sexist than others, but there are a few gems that stand out from the pack and are worth checking out.
