I did loose just a bit of respect for you when you admitted in public that you have not read Discworld.😇
"Fight you, Fuck me" Is an ABSOLUTE banger of a line I'm stealing that
that line absolutely sent me
Was not prepared for that ending.
Same
Sorry about your dad Scott. That segment at the end where you talked about him really hit me. My grandmother died before Covid from cancer. I didn’t get a chance to say goodbye to her either, and it tore me apart. But what you said about how your dad views afterlife really made me chuckle a bit. Because my grandmother was religious but she shared a similar sentiment to “returning to the universe,” as you put it.
Whether or not you’re religious, hearing people talk about those kinds of outlooks and perspectives makes you think. Nobody gets to choose how it happens. But there’s a nice sense of unity that can be taken from the idea that when our time comes, we all in a way flow back to where we started. Like the water in a river flowing towards a great big ocean.
That is not how I wanted to hear Kaiser can't cook...
Is it wrong that I find it even funnier knowing that he's gay and bragging about eating pussy?
Scott
I finally finished watching this, tonight, after Toriyma's death. Your ending here, even in to the earlier parts in frieren hit my emotions so incredibly hard right now.
Thank you, truly, and condolences. ❤
Frieren has been such a special show
Heiter completely changed my view on the afterlife. For a long time, I shared Frieren’s and Eisen’s own view on death. That afterwords, there is only oblivion. It terrified me. But now Heiter’s words resonate with me on a level I was never prepared for. “Heaven exists. It’s more convenient if it does.” I just… understood something in that instant, same as Frieren and Eisen. Whether something like Heaven exists or not is irrelevant. It’s much better to think that something like it exists. And as an adult now I can see that time truly does start to slip away in a blink. Time marches onwards faster than I can process and soon, I know if I don’t change something about myself I will forever regret the missed opportunities. Freiren is a masterpiece and I love it. It’s something I never even knew I needed until Frieren just fell into my life and flipped it upside down.
Hard anti-thiest here, but i will say something about the phrase "it's just more convenient if it does" means a good amount to me. There's nothing less than evidence that would convince me of an afterlife even without a religious context.
But the deep honesty of hoping that life always carries on even post-death is a romantic and hopeful idea. Even if you've every better choice to make sure you're 1 life is compelling and impactful, if your idea of heaven is just to live a good life to live a good afterlife, i couldn't bother anyone for making their life [and in turn, other's lives] better, happier and deeper commited to community they can help, its why I'm anti-thiest, and to share that value regardless of source, its what i want from the world.
I shed a few tears at the segment about Kaiser's dad, both for his loss and because it summoned my memories of the weekend my Grandpa died in 2022. He had been in a care facility for a while. I went home from college for the weekend, because we knew it was gonna be the last time I'd see him. We all visited him as he laid silently in his bed, and sometime early the next morning after he'd seen both his children and all three grandkids (myself, my sibling and our cousin), he passed away. We went back in to see him again. Life really is short. We don't really have that much time to spend it, and it's important to treasure the time that we have.
I WAS NOT EXPECTING THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MONOLOGUE ABOUT LIFE AND DEATH IN A LIST OF 23 ANIME FROM 2023. Oh my god Kaiser!! That was absolutely beautiful where I fully started crying.
Pst, you typed Lani instead of Kaiser. But thank you, all the same.
@@KaiserNeko I REALIZED MY MISTAKE TOO LATE IM SO SORRY 😅
Thank you, Scott, for your words at the end of the Frieren segment. I lost my grandpa in december under very similar circumstances, although I was at least able to see him one last time. I wasn't expecting to have that topic brought up today, but there's something beautiful in the ways people still feel connected to their loved ones and I'm glad you shared your perspective.
As for my perspective, my grandpa built a house where he did anything he could by himself. The entire property with almost everything on it is his legacy. He may be dead, but through his incredible dedication to building and maintaining a home for his family, he's still with us.
I hope no one decides to argue about Scott’s entirely based and objectively correct decision to include Scott Pilgrim Takes Off as an anime.
Seriously, agree or disagree, I didn’t come here to argue something pointless. I came here to learn about banger shows I missed and nod in agreement about playing a game where I get to date the cast of Beastars.
It def didn't need to be here. It is no where near as good as Scott makes it seem.
I mean, the only people who seem to be upset about Scott Pilgrim being called an anime are MAL, and let's be real here. They have so many examples on their site that break the rules they arbitrarily decided on, that they pretty much lost all credibility long before they got their panties in a twist over this show that conforms to said arbitrary rules. Why expend useful energy worrying about what they think?
If we're still counting RWBY (I personally still do), then I see no reason to not count Scott Pilgrim.
@@MrFraknak Well yeah sure, it being on the list definitely makes no sense... If you didn't spend like ten minutes listening to him explain what the show meant to him, and why he thinks it's great. Truth is, these lists are never meant to be objective facts, they're just one person's opinion, and as long as that person explains why their opinion is their opinion, why complain? If you want a list that conforms to your own personal, subjective opinion, then why not make one yourself?
I was really excited to hear your thoughts on Frieren after you talked about it on Twitter. Sir. This is the first time a review video has made me cry ever. The way you talked about Frieren was the most eloquent and heartfelt description I've ever heard of any anime, of any show. Your opening metaphor about winter hit home straight through the chest. I found myself lost in your deep, personal oration and could feel my body grow heavier and heavier as you progressed. I can tell it really meant a lot to you from that segment. And tying it back to your dad broke me. I was just as awed by your thoughts as I was by the show if not more so. Thank you, so much, for your beautiful words.
Very sorry to hear about your father Scott, hope you've been well in the time since his passing and may he rest in peace. Comforting to know he at least left you with a touching sentiment before he passed, anything to hold onto to inspire some positivity after a loss helps massively.
I couldn't help but think of my grandfather. . . and my regrets that he never knew me as his granddaughter. I started transitioning back before covid. Time really does just start to slip away from you, it seems. My relatives are very Catholic, or at best, Protestant Evangelical. But my grandfather was a very kind man. I wish I had gotten to tell him. My grandmother was always quick to speak for him, and sometimes over him, and made it clear that she wouldn't have me talking to him as he was sick and in declining health. She said it would only make him upset. After 2 years of slowly, very very shyly and with great anxiety, coming out to more of the family, I didn't have it in me to argue with her at the time. Afterall, there would always be more time later, right?
In 2019 things came to a head with my relatives, and what was supposed to be me taking a much needed mental health break from them for a couple weeks while I sorted things out, became me leaving my home state to move in with friends and cutting ties for my own safety. I never got the chance to sit down with my grandfather, throw on a movie (he loved watching movies with us), and introduce him to his grand*daughter*. One year later, to the month, I got the notification that he has passed. By this point the constant online stalking and refusal to give me any peace had forced me to abandon social media and change my phone number, so it was quite the feat that they managed to find another way to hurt me after using him as an emotional blackmail chip against me when I left.
It all went so wrong so fast and only got worse, but my greatest regret is that I never did get to talk to him, the one family member that I knew would be the most supportive. He was a good man. He led a long life, and I knew him into my 30s, but he was still gone too soon. I still pull out his favorite cream soda each year and think of him.
Time really does just start to slip away when you get bogged down in the daily grind of survival. Frieren crying over having missed out on her chance to know Himmel better... it hurt. I worked just a quarter mile up the road from him. Everyday I had the chance to see him more, to hang out and get to know him better, and I let it slip away from me. I was tired, I was concerned with my own life's intricacies, and I didn't make time for him like he deserved. I will always regret that. And I will never make that mistake again.
Tell the people close to you that you love them. Make time to just sit and chat one in a while. Don't regret the time you didn't spend being near the people you love.
Scott's use of word play truly never fails to entertain
I would have loved a faithful retelling of Scott Pilgrim just fine. But what we got is what I didn't know I needed, and never would have dared hope for. It feels like the capstone on the story: a celebration of everything that came before, but also something that feels like it acknowledges how the culture and attitudes have changed in the years since it came out, and addresses those issues, by spotlighting and exploring all the flaws and cracks in the story that have emerged since
Frieren has captured the oddest feeling when I first read it. The idea of mourning someone you never knew meant so much to you. I had this experience before, it was after I found out that this person on their death bed did the smallest gesture for my health. It was so minute, but knowing he had that care for me in his final days, it broke me. It made cry the first most honest tears of loss of a fellow human in my life. So seeing Frieren crying despite thinking her relationship meant so little to her it moved me.
Also the story is strangely life affirming and that cottage core esthetic just gives me the good vibes.
So great to hear Scott finally talk about Jujutsu Kaisen Shibuya arc and wonder if Scott do a manga 23 of 23
Too bad he didn't mentioned Hidden Inventory/Premature Death once, which is part of season 2.
Vinland saga and pluto got the seinen curse of having a perfect manga... I blame berserk for it! lmao
Hey Scott, if you do happen to read this, I just want you to know the end of this is something I think I desperately needed to hear. For the past 4 years, but especially the past 2 in particular, I've been coming to terms with several things in my life. Feeling lonely, feeling older, feeling mad at myself, afraid of things only getting worse before they may never get better, and above all else; death. I'm not that old, and I'm sure ultimately in the end I have more life in me than I may think I do, but I'm starting to get to an age where I feel I can only call myself an "Adult" as opposed to a "Young Adult," and with that, the biggest fear that I keep thinking I've confronted is behind me, it starts to come back. I'm so afraid of pain and especially loss that it genuinely keeps me from sleeping properly most nights. I've not lost an immediate family member or close friend yet that feels out of the blue, and quite frankly that's what scares me more than anything. I'm so afraid of waking up one day and not being to say my last words of importance to someone important to me and I don't know if it's ever truly possible to be prepared for something like that.
But, in the end, I think what you said is especially important to me and something that makes not want to feel selfish in my fear; "When someone is gone, a part of them will carry on with you, always." And, I think especially after (please don't make fun of me lol) replaying all of Final Fantasy VII and it's remake counterparts, that idea is getting solidified for me several times over and it's something I really want to help comfort me away from my fear of death. I know it's probably impossible to kill a fear that large without being on deaths door itself, but I just want to make comfort with it easier. As someone who's fortunate enough to see my dad stare death square in the face more than 4 to times and watch him walk away unscathed, it's comforting to have him but ultimately so much more terrifying to see him go for good. "Some day death is gonna... Stick." I know that's a one off line for Goku in DBZA, but that line genuinely has stuck with me from the Pandemic onward.
I'm rambling and I'm sorry for that lol, but, I just want you to know that you said something I think I've been running from instead of confronting and I thank you a lot from that Scott. You're an amazing person and a great voice to listen to. I hope your dad is with you in spirit even now, and I'm sure he is. ❤
If I ever had the opportunity to meet TFS's big three, I'd want Lani to like me, I'd want Taka to respect me, and I'd want Kaiser to want me. I'd hope Nick thinks I'm clever, I'd hope Curt thinks I'm funny, and I'd hope Scott thinks I'm dashing.
The Frieren segment was already beautiful and making me emotional and then it got super real at the end and now I'm sobbing, thank you for your beautiful analysis and sharing that story with us.
As someone who really enjoyed Knives and Stephen’s friendship in the comics it was cool seeing it displayed in the Anime. Also I loved seeing a lot of Sonic fans go crazy over Scott mentioning Sonic
Great job with these lists! I loved your thoughts on these series, and very much appreciate that you were willing to share your tragedy with us as a capstone to it. It's not easy talking about losses like that, and I hope that your friends and community continue to rally around and support you. As for this list, there are a couple of surprising omissions, but the majority are great choices. I do highly recommend both The Apothecary Diaries, which has consistently kept pace with Frieren as one of the best anime of the last two seasons, and The Dangers in My Heart, which is the best anime romance I've seen in a long time and all the more exceptional during its second season.
Regarding Discworld, one of the great things is that there is really no wrong book from the series to start with. I have a friend who owns dozens of them and once in awhile when we are talking about a subject, he will mention one of the books having an interesting perspective on it and offer to loan it to me. I've gotten through Small Gods, The Color of Magic, The Last Hero, Hogfather, Going Postal, and the first three Tiffany Aching books (and a few others I can't recall at the moment) and I've never felt lost because Pratchett does a masterful job of giving you all the context you need (and letting you realize the full context when you read other the books). Characters from different series will appear of be mentioned in other series and it never feel unnatural or forced because they share the same world and space and it never drags to tell you about those characters more than fits for the story (such as who is the werewolf in the City Watch of Ankh-Morpork).
I got around to this video yesterday, and hearing you talk about your dad really stuck with me. I lost my older sister back in January of this year, and every single thing you said described exactly how I've been feeling these past two months.
And then of course, just a few hours after I watched this, they announced Akira Toriyama's passing, and I came right back to this video to hear your speech again. Those were words I really needed to hear right now, just as I'm sure they're words you needed to get off your chest, Scott.
Knowing that I'm not alone in my grief has been a massive weight off my shoulders, even if we're grieving for different people, and I thank you so much for sharing this with us. Keep up the great work, man. ❤
Thank you so much, not just for the list, but that ending. I'm so, so sorry, Scott, for your loss--I lost my uncle the same way. But I hope you'll always feel a part of him in your life--because like he said, he still is, in a way
Vinland Saga S2 being an honorable mention?! You have a lot of explaining to do, Kaiser!
- Hears Kaiser explain why Vinland Saga is great -
THEN WHAT IS THE PROBLEM, KAISER?!
Kaiser: I like the manga better.
...
That is acceptable.
much love Scott, i lost my mom when i was 16 to a brain aneursym. memories and my baby vhs tapes of her. one thing ive found out is the hole will always be there but if you fill it with love and people who love you that hole isnt so big as it feels. ill be 29 this year and shell be gone 13 years this june. keep strong and remember to get back up and EAT THAT HORSE!
I’m sorry to hear about your loss Scott and thank you for sharing such a personal story. Freiren really did come at a time to put death in perspective for me too, as I went through a similar loss this past year. Really loved this mini series was a great watch and love to hear discussions from you guys about series always
I didn’t expect an anime recap to hit me right in the feels. That was what they call a blindside.
I lost my dad last year as well. In October, to suicide. I didn't get to say goodbye either, and I'm still struggling with the sorrow and grief. But now I think I can start to look back at my memories more fondly. I'm sorry, Scott. And thank you for sharing, I know it must have been hard, but I can say for certain that it's helped me out. On a lighter note, I think that might get me to watch Frieren, lol. Stay safe out there, Scott, much love.
Thank you for sharing your opinions Scott! I've been pretty separated from most media, so this helped give me some ideas for things I think I'd really like to check out, and it's always just fun to here you wax on and off about the things you enjoy! :D And you sharing your story was truly heartbreaking and inspiring. Take care of yourself Scott, and I can't wait for what you share with us next!
My thoughts on Scott pilgrim takes off is that I genuinely can’t imagine being upset that we got something entirely new from the franchise rather than just another retread of the same story(and yes, before you go off on me saying you wanted a straightforward adaptation of book, let me just say I wanted that as well, but I accept the fact that Bryan Lee o malley wanted to do something different)the bait and switch really did make for a pretty great unexpected surprise.
No everyone is toxic these days i loved it
I didn't expect getting my heart ripped out when watching this. 😢😢
Your dad doesn't just live on in your heart and the lives of those he touched, but also in the lives of every single person that you have touched. You've had a palpable impact on multiple generations of people. Thank you for all that you do, comrad, and much love.
You’re a good man, Scott. And you deserve all the joy in the world.
I lost my father... longer ago than it feels. Carrying the memories & stories, passing them on- well, its helped me, and in a small way, helps him live a little longer, a little further. The pain is always there, but the scar will grow, and it will hurt less often.
The comment your father made reminds me of a quote from B5: "The molecules of your body are the same molecules that make up this station, and the nebula outside, that burn inside the stars themselves. *We are starstuff.* We are the universe made manifest, trying to figure itself out..."
Best wishes, Kaiser. Frieren is one of those special series, it doesn't seem like it will lead to such thought provoking and remorseful thoughts based on out of context premise alone. I haven't been watching it, but I am reading the series, and it is up there as one of my favorite of all time. I am so happy it is getting the attention and love it deserves. And now I hope you do too Kaiser, these lists have been a treat and keep making wonderful content you enjoy making.
You asked me to do this, so, "You're wrong."
There, happy now?
On a side note about Frieren: your touching words put into full focus why I NEED to watch this, I lost a lot of family and friends in quick succession in 2010 and 2013, to then also find out my mums best friend, who has been such a massive part of my life is fighting terminal cancer brings home the message of this show. Thank you for putting into words what i couldn't, and sorry for your loss.
The segment on Frieren and your dad brought tears to my eyes. Being able to watch that insanely moving story was incredibly helpful for my own grief, and I hope it helped you too.
I'm getting closer to 1.5 years since my dad died (during my first semester of college, that certainly put a hold on things) and it's just... hard. sometimes. Hard when I miss him, hard when I feel guilty for missing him cause I remember he wasn't a good guy in the first place, and hard when I miss him again anyways. No matter who we lose, we always manage to find away to blame ourselves for something, even when there's nothing we could've done, or when the time has passed anyways. All I can do is process my grief and support my mom, who's going through it in her own way.
I hope you're processing everything and grieving him the way you need to, and I hope you have a bunch of mementos and memories to remember him by.
I‘m sorry about your dad. I just lost my grandpa on monday. He was in most ways extremely lucky to have a long life, to not suffer great pain at the end of his life and to die being held by my grandmother. Yet the reality of him just… no longer being there and any possibility of ever talking to him again being gone is still devastating. And you‘re right, Frieren is about that in most ways. And it gives me some comfort.
Good to see Buddy Daddies on here as well.
Too many people write that show off, like you‘ve described, despite it being a solid show on its own.
Scott's final words really resonated with me. I know all to well, how awful that feels.
I have experienced a really severe heartbreak, when my father, that i was very, very close to, died suddenly. I was 12 back then.
That's not an experience I would wish on anyone, especially at such vulnerable age. I wasn't just broken. I was completely devastated.
I got over it after a few years, and now I am not getting attached to anyone, so I don't have that problem any more. I also view the death in a different light (as a release from suffering) - that also helps.
In most ways, both his life and his departure has shaped the way I am.
As someone who has been obsessed with Pluto, outright my favorite manga for ten long years, I have two primary gripes with the adaptation, and funny enough is both concern the same character (spoilers obviously):
The first is they didn't adapt the moment where Gesicht actually DOES insert Brau's chip and is met with a swirling vortex of incomprehensible madness; I get that in terms of the plot it wasn't really THAT important but damn it was in the top five scenes i was most excited to see in animation and its lack of inclusion bums me out
The second is THE ENDING, specifically them putting the scene with Brau and Roosevelt BEFORE the final moment with Atom. In the manga it's the FINAL scene, played like an mid/after-credits scene (literally in the final volume you get a page of credits before the scene) as one final badass hurrah, and kind of ironically putting it where it was makes it feel like more of an afterthought than it would have putting it after the credits....
Bravo on your segment on Frieren. That was absolutely beautiful
After watching all 3 parts of this series I'm down to listen to Scott talk about whatever he's passionate about. TFS never disappoints. Best wishes yall.
Thank you for this wonderful video and an absolutely beautiful, personal, amd heartfelt send off. Thank you for sharing so much of yourself, in everything.
Thanks, Scott. I've made a list of the stuff I'm interested in to check out later.
Thank you for sharing about your father and the wisdom he left behind. I unexpectedly lost my father in September of last year (unforseen complications in what was supposed to be a routine surgery), and I also didn't get a chance to say goodbye or let him know one last time how much he meant to me. So your father's words, and your interpretation of them, mean a lot.
I have also been meaning to start reading Discworld. I have heard nothing but good things, but lately have found it difficult to sit down and just read. Now I ALSO have to watch Frieren (Something else I've been meaning to do). I always feel like there's so much to do and so little time to do it
Hearing someone else go through what I did makes my heart ache.
I know that feeling of a hospitalized loved one feeling like they simply faded away before you could say goodbye.
When I was a teenager, I lost my mom to cancer. There was a feeling of dread I couldn’t shake when I left that night and the hole that was left the next day when I found out she was gone never truly went away.
This November marks the turning point of I’ll have lived my life longer without her in it…and yet I carry her voice in me, never forgetting the kind, fun, loving woman she was.
Stay strong, Scott. That’s the greatest thing we can do for the ones we loved…that we lost.
OMG a Beck - Mongolian chop squad reference! Legit one of my favourite ever anime's that doesn't get anywhere near enough love! Great list Kaiser, completely agree with Frieren, it's got me out of my semi-retirement for watching Japanese anime, and is just beautiful. It feels both more adult and slower paced than a lot of animes, and I hope it means we get a new wave of animations focused at a more mature audience (although I guess Attack on titan may have started that).
the quick shots of "Gen Urobuchi's "A" material" for the Revenger honorable mention has me curious now if Scott's watched Thunderbolt Fantasy at all, and if so how he feels about it.
I'm sorry for your loss Scott. I unfortunately understand the feeling as well as I lost my father back in 2020 due to cancer. Only time will heal your aching heart but as you said....their memory will live on forever in you. Keep your chin up and take care of yourself and spend as much time as you can with those u love as we never know when our time will come.
Absolutely banger video scott! I really hope you keep making these types of videos in the future!
Frieren has made me laugh and cry more than any other anime these past few months…and nothing else is all that close, either.
(Even if I can’t get past the octave change in the dub, despite being able to tell the VA is doing a great job).
Really glad to have you back doing review videos, Scott - the MHA roundtables are how I got into 4SB…and 4SB is why I now read manga.
I'm so sorry for your loss, Scott. That segment simultaneously broke my heart and filled it with love.
I lost my mother under similar circumstances a few months before Scott's father passed. Less than a day after she'd been admitted to the hospital for a sudden illness, I received word that things had taken a drastic turn. We had a complicated, often strained relationship, but I can't express how quickly some of the bad memories melt away when you're left wishing you'd had more time. Let the people you love know it.
Thank you for the video.
49:30
Yes...but that's exactly how Frieren felt.
Before she knew it, in just "One episode" the great hero is dead. With frieren wishing she could have developed their relationship better, but it's too late. Only her memories remain. And she can only look back on them.
I was just saying how I felt *at first*. It took a couple of episodes for me to understand what it was getting at.
Way to miss the point in your haste to "um actually" 🙄
Great video Love your list.
Thanks for this project! Definitely helped me get off the fence about watching a few shows. Also yes, Discworld, Terry Pratchett is wonderful stuff!
That ending hit me hard. Condolences man. Im glad you were able to take something beautiful and comfort so many others from a sad time in your life. I needed that man. Thank you.
Beautiful work, Scott.
Man, didn't expect to tear up at the end... Wonderful list, Scott!!
Very glad we got a bunch of the same shows in our lists :)
Also, Vampire Dies in no Time!!! Heck yeah!
11:45 glad you gave mention to Concierge! Such a wholesome breath of fresh air, my favorite was the Pikachu episode it had a really sweet message
Of all the shows I didn't expect to see in a list like this is The Vampire Dies in No Time. That is a nightly hit and I never be in a space where people talk about it outside of where I watch it. You got me smiling today. #PraiseJohn
My mom died five years ago and it still hurts. She was not only my mom but one of my best friends. You're right, Scott. We need to appreciate the time we have with those we love.
I lost my dad in October and that sentiment about your dad is how i feel too. Sorry for your loss but it's a good to think they live on in us.
I really feel the last part of this. Thank you for this video.
I assumed Young Neil's performance in the show was on porpoise because it was kinda amazing (like you said)
Thanks, Scott. This was a nice series to watch.
Scott, My heart breaks for your loss. While I have lost, I can't imagine the grief of losing one's own parent. I'm glad you're getting through these tough emotional times. My best wishes for you and thank you for the tremendous amount of joy you've provided.
My condolences, Scott. Thanking you for sharing that with us and for making this video
Kaiser, I'm so sorry about your dad. I lost my mom in late 2019 to the other big C, it's a club that no one wants to join but you know you're not alone. May your father's memory be a blessing to you.
"fight you fuck me" was amazing and I'm stealing that
another amazing vid
Shout out to Attack on Titan season 4 part 3 that finale went hard with its visuals. Also it fixed a controversial scene from the manga. I appreciate that the ending however remains the same and I’m still mixed on it.
And yet ANOTHER set of shows to add to the every growing bucket list.
Your father would be proud of the wonderful things you are doing right now. Thank you for sharing with us Scott.
14:20 lmao pure gold coming from you xD
"... as the souls of the dead live for'ere in my mind, I live all the years that they left me behind. I stay on the shore, but still gaze at the sea. I remember the fallen, and they think of me, for our souls in the ocean together will be." - The Longest Johns, *Bones in the Ocean*
So talking about Frieren had me emotional before the real world tie in, My Sincere condolences. The show had me thinking of my Elder Brother whom I lost over a decade, and it he whom introduced me DBZA Abridged right when it first started.
Kaiser I mean this with all the love in my heart, Fuck you for always making me cry one way or another in your videos.
Also would love more anime breackdown videos of yours. Yours are the only ones I watch or recommend.

If you start reading more, I’d love to see your reviews. I’ve been thinking about starting disc world myself. It’d be cool if you did some kind of book club or book review
I loved these scott thx
Scott's writing for this 23 of 23 is fantastic. The little in-jokes and quips are 👌
Thank you Kaiser for making this vid so glad I'm not the only one who watched all these animes also
Lmao 17:54 caught me off guard.

Scott, never change.
"Campfire Cooking in Another World with my Absurd Skill" has an English dub for those that didn't know. This anime went so long without an English dub. I think it was released about a month ago.
11:59 You had me at Naoki Urasawa. I LOVED Monster back when it aired on the Sci-Fi Channel and I'm hoping that show can get a better release here in the US.
Frieren is just a *delight*. It's one of those shows that is ostensibly about medieval D&D-esque fantasy that has been cropping up in recent years, but what becomes apparent is it is ACTUALLY about grief. And for those of us who have been through that ourselves, it's very hard to NOT get sucked in by the emotional beats of this show.
It is achingly beautiful in its storytelling, structure and animation style and I *hate* that we only get but one episode per week. However, consequently, every Friday afternoon is a special treat.
Excellent work to all the team @4SB - and especially Scott. As a toe in the water weeb, I’m so happy to have a wise guide.
My one issue with Shangri-La Frontier is that is does not understand how insanely obsessive gamers are about games they like. SLF has been out for like a year, and in that time about 100 no lifers would've picked it dry just to fill out the wiki and get details on every bit of lore, gear, and build synergies possible. Most of the Colussi would've been documented within a few months, even if they weren't beaten in that time.
This is awesome and you're awesome!
absolutely agree on Pokemon concierge. It looked absolutely amazing. Foccused on an unseen aspect of the pokemon world, didn't have kids as the protagonists, no drama or conflict whatsoever. More of this please. I'm almost begging here.
