วีดีโอ

I have just watched Stanley Kubrick's Strangelove movie and noticed that the music at the end of this episode in Black lagoon is originally from this movie. It's a very sarcastic and deep movie about nuclear competition between ussr and usa in the cold war era. If you didn't watch it, I definitely recommend you this great movie, too. Its "a bit" old but gold.

that's honestly such a great season, definitely my favorite

Definitely his uncle or nephew❤

His dad is the reincarnate of him

Not his dad but yoruichi the best swordsman to meet muzan

Good taste in anime mob is a gem

Good stuff. Thoughts/clarifications: * Kazama is Yuri's cousin, which is odd, but I guess less frowned upon in that culture. However, the guy doing something questionable to her poster was not Kazama/her cousin, it was Sanada-- He's got a very..... questionable mentality. * Kazama's backstory is very cryptic-- the result of it is directly told, but what happened to his family has to be pieced together and interpreted. More on that when more is shown. * Peco's tragic mentality was hinted at earlier, but it's subtle. After he was beaten by Kong in the first episode, his first thought was "maybe I should quit", Smile affirms it, he hesitantly responds "Yeah..... no reason to force myself," and there's this powerful silent dolley shot of his back that communicates the lost/hopeless fear in him, before he immediately starts talking about the upcoming tournament again. It's clear that he loves Ping Pong/winning and takes defeat harder than anyone, but also can't let go of it. * Character motivations are a lot more clear after these episodes, where they initially may have been confusing (especially Smile). Peco plays Ping Pong out of a genuine desire/dream to be the best, Kazama plays it out of joyless responsibility/necessity (putting the reputation of his entire family name on his back), Smile (also pretty joylessly) plays it because it's the only thing he has in his life (on top of giving him a father figure in Koizumi), Kong is learning that there's more to life than Ping Pong, and Sakuma needed perspective. * That Christmas montage is so good. I love the recurring bit with the random tertiary character who lost to Smile and is now wandering the earth looking for purpose in his life.

Kong and Sakuma are darrrnn cool people.

That’s not his Dad 😭

What to say? May I suggest "Mortal Combat!"

a rare ping pong reactor nice

it's a little late but 32:41 mentions about Pyrrhic victory. It's a kind of success that you would be exhausted and lose your recover strength in the end. it's origin is from King of Tarentum Pyyrus. He defeats Romans in many battles but suffers casualty. At last, his strength is finished and lose the war once and for all. So, it is the etymology of this term and reflects Rock's mental situation at the end of arc.

Good stuff. One thing that you can see at this point is that all of these characters are like different combinations of attitudes and dispositions that you find in any competition/walk of life: it's like a Venn diagram between having or not having natural talent, dedication/willingness to work for it, passion/interest, positive/negative influence on others, work/life balance, and different reasons for playing/not playing (some of these haven't been revealed or hinted at yet). And every time any two characters pair up, you can see those similarities and differences more and more clearly. And a lot of times, the things that make someone good in some way are also what makes them bad in another way. I really like how it's a more brutal, realistic, and relatable take on things. No character is just "evil" or a throwaway plot device, downright everyone has unique substance that gets explored, and it's not just one ultra passionate protagonist who proves they can accomplish anything simply by wanting it hard enough. Hell, many of the characters that you would initially expect to be villains are actually more likeable than Smile is, and arguably are no less important to the story.

i know it's out of context but I definitely recommend you Drifters written by Kouta Hirano. actually i don't know that it suits your taste but it's definitely one of the my favorite manga/anime. so, i want to suggest it to you. it is isekai anime that includes many historical figures not just from Japan but almost all over the world and ages. Especially, the character of Oda Nobunaga was a perfect. However, i need to warn you because it has "a bit" savage and bloody scenes. if you have watched Hellsing before, you definitely know what i mean. A last thing, Drifters' ending music Vermillion is a masterpiece as well.

your reaction at 16:09 is hilarious hahaha

i have watched your black lagoon reactions, it has very good written scenario and very good animation quality. i don't ever mind demon slayer a bit but i will watch these just for your cuteness.

Clarification: Kaio is the name of the school. Kazama and Sakuma are the name of the two characters from that school. Bit of context that isn't obvious: The characters' play-styles often reflect their true nature and attitudes to life. Smile is a "chopper", which is a purely conservative/defensive/reactive style where you stay back and wait for the opponent to make a mistake or run out of gas (that's why everyone's surprised when he switched to an attacker style before the Kong match), while Peco is an "attacker", which is a straightforward, aggressive and instinctive style where you dictate the play (specifically, Kong said that he plays sloppy and leaves himself wide open). Some food for thought: Viewers automatically leap to winning = good in a sports anime, and want Smile to keep doing what gives him success, but there's a bit of ambiguity here-- the only way he's able to meet Koizumi's challenge is not by coming to a healthy conclusion or finding real passion in what he's doing, but instead he's adapted to what's being asked of him by shutting off his emotions and not caring about anything/becoming a robot (aka. exactly how he has passively dealt with his problems in the past, by retreating into a shell). The metaphor's a bit troubling/tragic, if you think about it.

Ooh, very nice-- love seeing more people react to Ping Pong-- Easily one of my favorite shows. The note-taking is very promising, too-- someone analytical could really have a field day with this show. It's very character/theme-driven, and has a shocking amount of depth/meaning/attention to detail condensed into a very short 11 episodes.

I'm happy to see a reaction to Ping pong. #1 Show on the planet

This is a great show. If it was longer and had a standard art style, it could have gotten really huge, but they didn't compromise their artistic vision, so it's more of a cult classic nowadays.

Get to kalm and watch this good movie 🎥

❤ FF7

Let the poor man crossdress if he wants to. Just because you're a murderous man eating vampire lord doesn't mean you can't have a hobby.

I literally had the same reaction with woman Muzan 😆

Omg not him and his farther

Don't say badword hehe cmiw

Personally dub doesn't bother me cuz the voice for Tanjiro really grew on me especially for season 2 and the movie. Season 1 yeah it sucked but the movie really improves Zach's performance

Fun fact: Rengoku translates to purgatory in Japanese so when Rengoku used the Esoteric Art, it's really 9th Form: Purgatory

Anyone who says "watch sub its more emotional" shut up. How about you guys watch it in sub with japanese subtitles. See if you can understand then.

Please watch in subtitle

Intenta verlo en japones y subtitulado a tu idioma Es mucho mejor.

I really wish you were watching demon slayer in sub. Its such a dramatic difference. So much better in sub. Dub is unbearable i have a hard time watching it lol its like a downgrade to the show in my opinion..

Vicious finally begins his coup, positioning himself to assume leadership of the Red Dragon Syndicate. Gunshots ring like the sound of a choir of angels, a premonition of damnation. Knowing that the Red Dragon's civil war has begun, Julia breaks her long silence and tries to contact Spike, who drops everything to find her, the only woman who could complete this hollow man. At the fulcrum of a fragile balance, Spike is possessed by the spirits of his past. Jet and Faye can do nothing but watch over him. -Cowboy Bebop Guide, Book 6, Page 28 After a long time apart, Spike and Julia reunite. But their happiness is short-lived at best. That which Spike has longed for slips through his fingers as easily as it came into his embrace. This is one man's fate, converging unto death as it were a predestined circumstance of his young life. Having lost his future, Spike is left only with his past. He confronts Vicious in a battle that should have taken place long ago. What does that right eye, left in a wounded body, see at the very end? -Cowboy Bebop Guide, Book 6, Page 44 The right eye which sees Spike’s present sees Julia at the end, as was foreshadowed to happen in Jupiter Jazz Part 2.

I love your reactions 😂 have a great day! Hope you enjoyed❤

Yeah... F*** GRIFFITH! First he gets upset because his boytoy becomes a man and doesn't want to be his boytoy anymore. Then like the soyboy he is, Griffith decides to be extremely rash and have a little fun. Even worse, it looked like he stayed the whole night instead of yeeting out of there instantly, like an amateur. Oh, but yeah he'll place the blame on Guts instead of realizing that he screwed himself. I mean without Guts, Griffith wouldn't have been in as good of a position as was in since Guts kind of carried his army at times, while Griffith reaped the rewards. This was well displayed by the gap that was created between Griffith and Guts in martial skill, when only 3 years prior they were near-equals with a slight advantage to Griffith. I only just started reading the manga but hopefully Griffith gets his just desserts. Side note: I think that Guts' and Casca's relationship was kind-of toxic. I don't know if this is a hot take, but it felt like when you get with someone who just broke up with their ex but they still have feelings for them. I know some people say that Casca just saw Griffith as a leader, but it definitely seemed like there was significant romantic investment on Casca's part. Thus, when Griffith displayed some semblance of interest by jumping on top of her in his initial broken state, Casca immediately was like "Ehh I can't go with you Guts because (I love) Griffith (more than you). Maybe I'm wrong, maybe not Holy cow that was long, END RANT Anyways, subscribed because this was a great reaction series! I really like the introvert vibes and wit, it really felt "cozy" in a way, at least as an introvert. I'll probably watch your HxH reactions next Edit: Because my grammar was atrocious, and it probably still is but oh well.

I’m really glad you got to watch RoK!! It gets a bit awkward at moments but it’s such a beautiful story. And I guess probably my favorite overall cast of characters. I’m super hyped (i.e. worried) for whatever will happen with the Desha situation and with their jorney to cure Ouken. I feel so much for them 😭

I'm pretty sure Trindamir doesn't mind watching a gorgeous lamb during his rage. Plus the wife doesn't see Kindred :)

nice video.if you wait long enough you can react to one piece remake, have a nice day.

0:38 Wow, that's not that far off. Good job! 👍

Recommendation: tenshi no tamago

0:41 Ha nice

Hi! You should react to undead girl murder farce. Its a good anime

12:07 W for that animation 😂

the waning and waxing stuff also made no sense to me, but its basically lower 6 demons and upper 6 (these are the strong ones that lived for hundreds of years) this was such a great finale, that lower moon meeting scene came out of nowhere and was a really interesting way to introduce them and then display muzans sheer power... it also helps keep the fast pacing of the show cause theres no need to go through each one and kill them the tanjiro scenes were really sweet hes such a genuinely nice person, i really like how he helps everyone around him

i think its the next one that it starts to make sense again. They really backloaded a lot of the explanations

英語版声優めっちゃ上手いな

about rui, theres a line in that episode 'he has special permission to do this because hes one of the masters favourite' smth like that chill period is over, stuff is going to get intense from here on out

I searched for Gon vs. Pitou reactions and I found your channel. You are gorgeous!!

it's a sword baldric, not a tail.

ye, definitely no a lot of reaction videos on this anime. Good stuff.
