Episode description

We enter present day with Kimi Ni Todoke Season 3 Episode 1. But first, Sarah and Joe must trade stories of our weekends. This week we must unfortunately say goodbye to pet of the show Shanks the ferret. He lived a good whole life and hopefully is on great adventures in the next one! Sarah cheered herself up with a Third Eye Blind concert. Joe meanwhile tries and fails to go on a camping trip, so stick around for that story.

In Kimi Ni Todoke, we pick up right where we left off…literally. We go through Sawako and Kazehaya’s first date in non-montage format this time. Then we meet the parents as Kazehaya and Sawako take a turn meeting the other’s family. We learn some fun tidbits about our favorite couple like how Sawako likes Rakugo and Kazehaya’s room has zero personality. What fun!

Transcript

Welcome back to our new season of Kimi Nita Doke season 3 coverage. This will be our first episode recovering of the series that decided to make every episode in our series. So we'll just cover one episode per episode. Really changed it upon us. Yeah. Really not something we were planning. Like maybe we'll drop it all at once. And then it's just like, what if we dropped all at once, but also it's five hour long episodes. Messing with the format. Keeping us on our toes.

Which I guess is the equivalent of like what, 15 episodes? Yeah, I guess so. It's just like makes it, you know, like I have to watch it in its entirety, which feels like it takes longer. It can't take breaks between or. It does. It does feel like it's really long by doing that. But yeah, I'm your host Sarah, joined by Joe himself. Hello. And before we get to it, let's catch up since I was lazy and took forever to edit the last episode. So. No, we had, we had big. It was a big things happened.

Life happened. That's why. Let's play with it. Don't admit to that. Okay. Yeah. Um, I lost my last ferret shanks. So that was also a bummer. Um, so we can blame it on him. He's not here to fight the. Allegations. Not beating the delay allegations. Um, yeah. So let's see. The last episode was. We recorded was two weeks ago and we had Jenny on. Um, so that should in theory give us more things to discuss that we've been up to. Um. You. I mean, that was a bit of mine. I guess. Let's see.

I went to a. What? What are you? You're like, you're like, it's been two weeks. We got so much stuff to discuss. Anyway. I don't know what I did. Um, no, I. Well, the ferret is part of it. Of what I did. I figured I just roll into the rest. Uh-huh. It's bad Joe. Actually, it's really sad. Okay. I'm sorry. Um, uh, I went to a third eye blind concert and they are very good. Um, I was like, yeah, I could see my chicks are into musicians. Then I looked it up in the front man's like 59.

I was like my God. Um, but yeah, that was fine. Um, let's see, went to work, been going into work more. So that's good. You know, exposure to the world outside my apartment. Um, let's see. Oh, oh, uh, I told you a little bit when we were talking the other day, but I am caught up on my hero academia. Um, yeah. Well, yes. Yeah. No, I haven't. I don't know. We're already in the anime. Like episode one, 49 is where we're at. Like what's happening? Oh, spoilers. Yeah. What arc is it?

I could say the last chapter of my hero. My hero, David, like a week ago or something. So like I've done. Um, it's, I don't know the name of it. It's when they have what's the major thing in the arc, all the bad guys. And it's like, Dequey accidentally got dragged to a different place and by the Tokyo. No, that's not our name. Is it? Nope. Weird blood girl. Um, okay. I've been into a different portal, blah, blah, blah stuff. Oh, wait, you're doing portal stuff. Like the big fight.

I think big final fight stuff. Oh, okay. I didn't realize you were in the like the last thing where they just do infinity war or whatever. Well, right. The manga just ended. I guess it wasn't that very far behind the manga. If it's already doing that. Yeah. And the manga just ended. Yeah. And then I finished the act like, um, kind of, I don't know, whatever about it. Oh, see, I have the opposite reaction. We're like the last like three episodes. I'm like, all right, okay. Here we go.

This should have been with the show list the whole time. What are we doing? Yeah. Um, yeah, I don't know. I haven't done it. No Star Wars show has yet to capture my. Bad guy. He is hot. Yeah. He plays such a hot dummy in the good place. So it's weird to see him be a bad guy. Um, he's got, he's got his lightsaber and he's got a smaller lightsaber inside his lightsaber. It's good. No, that looks lame. Oh, I think it's fun. No, it looks stupid. Cause it's a tiny baby one. Next to the one.

Like a soka has that kind of. Is that just a split? Like, Well, she just has two and one of them smaller than the other one. Well, it's not as noticeable. Um, okay. Yeah, I don't know. Been playing Coral Island updates still been playing the new sims love struck expansion. Um, yeah, nothing. Crazy. How about you, Joe? So. I'm supposed to be camping right now. You may notice that I am not camping right now.

Oh, you're still supposed to be coming back to you because we were camping in a place in, I was supposed to go camping this week for like a friend's birthday. Um, and in somewhere in Michigan, I don't know where. Uh, so it was like a five hour drive. So, and you know, I just moved to Ohio like a couple of years ago. I didn't bring any of my camping stuff because like I used to be in Boy Scouts. I used to like be able to camp and stuff. So I don't have anything.

My friends like, oh, I'm going to do this for my birthday. And I'm like, oh, okay. Yeah, sure. So I'm like, okay, I just need to like buy some supplies off of. Amazon or not Amazon right off of Facebook marketplace, right? Cause it's like, okay, I just need to like get some, cause I don't want to spend, you know, if you buy like a new tent, that's like nice. It's like really expensive, like $300 or something. And I'm like, let's just see what I can find on Facebook marketplace.

So I'm like, okay, I'm going to find a tent. That's like a backpacking tent. That's like 60 bucks. And I pick it up and the guy is like, oh yeah, like we're moving away. It's why I'm like going to this tent or whatever. I had some good times this tense, good. I'm like, all right, cool. You know what I said? I look at it. I'm like fine. And then I get like a sleeping bag, you know, and I get some other stuff.

And you know that that costs like, it's like probably like $100 total to get like a sleeping bag and a tent and like a little day pack backpack thing. Pretty good. You know, I got to buy all the other shit to like flashlights and things like that. Anyway, so I buy all this stuff, right? And we're driving up on Friday and for like a variety of reasons, we had to get in there kind of late. So we show up at like 9 p.m. So it's like, it's already dark. I even see where to set up.

Yeah. So I'm like, I got my little head lamp. I'm like, all right, well, I guess we'll set up. And then I get my tent out and it's a half dome tent. So I don't know if you've ever like, you've been camping. I don't know if I have. I don't know my tent that well, though. Okay. So it's like a two person half dome tent. Like that is a very standard configuration where basically like you have the, it's like a box kind of right. Like it's like a kind of like a square, but it's a dome on top.

That's the half dome thing. And every time I have ever had a tent like that, it had a configuration where you have one crossbar going like diagonally from one side to the other side. Right. So I unrolled this tent. That is not the way it's set up. Okay. The way it's set up is like, imagine like a dome of like the first two legs in front and then the, the two legs in the back and there's a cross beam in between them. So you're like making a big H kind of.

But the problem is that this, the tent poles had like, normally there's like elastic inside it, right? So like snap everything in place, like kind of hold it together. Right. And then, that was completely worn out. So it was basically just limp rope. And because it was limp rope, I couldn't put the poles together because there's all this slack rope, but like, you know, and I'm trying to shove it in and it's really hard. It won't stay in all those other stuff.

And so we're trying to assemble this and like, you know, the people I'm coming with like try to help me out too. And eventually we get to the point where like, you know, we have it in like the way it's tension is like, imagine it's, you know, like you draw an H, but you have to like get the legs of the H down at a curve. So it's putting a lot of pressure on this thing.

And at one point it like snaps in a way, like snaps out of place in a way that breaks one of the poles so it no longer fits where it's supposed to go. So essentially this tent is toast and like, I can't use it. So I have to sleep in my car. And so I feel like you've told me a different camping story that felt very similar to this story where you're 10. My last camping trip was also very bad. So I'm like, okay, well I have to sleep in my car.

And like I said, and like, you know, all this stuff is happening and like we're eating super late and like I'm stressed. Anyway, I drink probably a little too much. And then I wake up and I felt like I haven't slept at all because I slept in my car and I'm kind of hungover. And the plan for today is to stay up until 3 a.m. to watch a meteor shower. And I'm like, there is zero chance I stay up till 3 a.m. to watch a meteor shower.

I think I'm in a bad mood and with a bunch of people that are in a good mood because they love camping and I don't love camping. It turns out I don't love camping. That's my takeaway from this is that I, there's a reason I distinctly remember, right? Because I like, you know, I was in Boy Scouts, I'm an Eagle Scout or whatever. And there's a certain point where I'm like, I did it. I did all the camping I ever need to do in my life. Yeah. And now I can stop.

And ever since then, I'm like, oh, maybe I should revisit it. No, I should never revisit camping. No. I do not like it. And so, yeah, I was like sitting there the next morning and I'm just like, I think it would be best for everyone if I just went home today. And they were like, oh, okay. Yeah. And I'm like, okay. How far was this going? And I was like, oh, this drive was, it's five hours. Actually, we drove to, we drove to like a little like town on the coast of Lake Michigan.

That was like an hour to the east or an hour to the west. So it actually ended up being six hours driving back. So basically I drove five hours, had a terrible night, I slept in my car and drove six hours back the next day. And I was like, oh, I'm hungry. I'm hungry. I'm hungry. I'm hungry. I'm hungry. Yeah. Hungover. Okay. The hungry part only sucks because like, I'm like, because I woke up and I'm like, man, I'm like more hungover than I should. I didn't drink that much.

And I realized that all, like all we ate the night before was like vegetables and sausage. And I'm like, well, that's not going to absorb any of that. And then I think about all the food we got because I had to buy all the food and I was like, oh my God. So yeah, there was no way I could recover after I left. Like I broke off with everybody at like two. I went to Burger King and I ate a burger and I felt way better.

Yeah. I went drinking yesterday with my sister's friends and, you know, see look at me trying. But as soon as it was over, it was again, this is the second time where I like felt absolutely nothing. And I was like, ooh, nothing is better than just like total garbage food after you drink or like, yeah, man, makes you feel better. Yeah. So I guess just not, you know, I shouldn't, I shouldn't drink when I'm upset because then I'll drink too much. And then I don't go camping.

She just don't drink when you're camping. This is the problem because like, if you drink a like a bit and you need to recover, the recovery isn't that bad. You just eat food and you drink a lot of water except like, guess what? You don't have a lot of when you're camping. You don't have a lot of excess food and you don't have a lot. It's like a pain in the ass to drink water because then it's like you drink water. You have to pee. It's like, gotta go out of your way for that. That sucks.

It's terrible. So anyway, that was my, and then I just drove back. So I drove back. I immediately fell asleep at like 10 p.m. when I got back and slept for 11 hours. So yeah. That sucks. Man, bang. Well, anyway, that was what I was doing. You tried to be a good friend. Are you just going to say? I'm just going to say. Now, I have to apologize to my friend. I'd be like, hey, sorry, I just left a day early and didn't do any of the fun things you planned. For the best for everyone.

For the best for everyone. It's true. It was not that hot. We were in Michigan. Okay. Freakin sucks. Now it's getting in the hundreds. There were bugs everywhere. And this was also like near a sand dune. So everything was super sandy, which sucks. Put anything on the ground and it just covered in sand and you're like, cool. Yeah. It was an experience. I got a little story to tell about camping and how I need to remember that I don't like camping.

I needed not fall into the nostalgia trap of being like, ooh, maybe camping is fun. Maybe now. I'm going to go to the tent. It's like, it's probably toast because I tried to look up how much the like replacement poles are. Like how much of the cost of buy a set of replacement poles, right? It's like a hundred and forty dollars and I bought this tent for like 60 bucks. I'm like, well, I guess this is done for a Facebook marketplace. Yeah. Yep. So that's what I did.

Okay. Yesterday, it's drove back up. I got a thousand or like a bunch of episodes of revolutions. I learned about some of the revolutions of 1848. That's fun. That's what I'm doing. Okay. Cool. Well, sounds like this is not our best week or weeks in a while. Let's see. I guess do we, we got a lot to talk about today. We need to do okay. I mean, there's a long ass episode. So I guess, I don't know. I should look at my notes. I don't know that I even made that many notes. I have notes.

Well, yes, you're old reliable. Oh my God. I have like no notes. Okay. We'll see. Wow. You got nothing? I have notes, but like, we'll see. I'll comment along the way. Yeah. I guess you want to get into episode one of season three of Kimi Nitsudoke uncharted for both of us for the first time ever on the podcast. Uncharted for everybody involved. Yeah. Sure. Yeah. Episode one. Sorry. I didn't have the title written down. Season three. Episode one is called there's no way I would hate you.

Which I don't. God. Okay. The very minor moment, the episode to become the title. It's also like a reference to older like, I think it happened like what season one or something. Yeah. It's kind of crazy. Yeah. Sorry. I like my notes got messed up. Okay. We open on solico getting ready for her day in cause a high or her date with cause a high that we're going to be doing.

Okay. We open on solico getting ready for her day in cause a high or her date with cause a high that we saw a bit of at the end of season two. They meet up at the park and have like a picnic kind of cause a high eats some of the food. So I was prepared and says it's great. Then solico wishes him a happy birthday because today's his birthday. She apologizes for finding out so late and says that she couldn't prepare that much. No cause a high is wearing a shirt that says cough on it.

It just says cough and there's like a picture of like a shield. Maybe it's a band or something. Why? I don't know. It's very off putting. Yeah. Cause I was in like a dress. I don't really like her dress either. But it's like it's not the most flattering. It's not. It's like a poofy hem. But it's like fitted under it. Comes back in. You know what I mean? And then like a early 2000s little slouchy dress. Yeah. It also breaks kind of how like the waist starts kind of high.

Yeah. It's a little weird. It's bad cause normally she has pretty cute outfits. But yeah, I know she's been doing so well. And then there's some skin. This is her fur. What? Like the shoulders. Yeah. And legs. Cause she like pulls down the skirt cause she thinks it's shorter than she thought. But yes, we're agreed on not liking, I guess the shirt or dress. Bad outfits for this day. Awful. She gives, you know, so the gifts are she gives cause I hi are like three different chew toys for Mark.

I would ask for dog toys for my birthday. Then she gives him a phone charm with a camera on it so they can match. They both have phone charms. He's not in the photography. Why would you go with that? I don't know. Is he in cameras? Like did you know, well, what, what, what would you have given him? Cause like the thing is like, you know, it's not, he's not in the baseball anymore. He quit that. So he doesn't, what's his thing? Just like a cute, like hers isn't about any specific interest.

It's just cute. Just get her some, get him something like that. It doesn't hurt again. So I guess it's just like a little clover. Oh yeah. Like silver clover with feeding. So nothing particular. It's weird to get. What are his hobbies? Hanging out. Like we go to like this whole episode, by the way, this whole episode is there like for a state and they like go and hang out with each other's family. So she goes to his room and he has like DVDs and like CDs of music. He can do like a music note.

I guess. The room he was borrowing CDs from and maybe he is into music. I guess that's his whole deal, huh? Maybe cough is a bad idea. You're right. We just can't relate because we're such interesting people with hobbies, but popular kids, they just are so busy socializing. I have time for hobbies. They just don't do shit. They're boring as fuck. Yeah. This is why I couldn't be popular. It's too interesting. That's what I tell myself. Can confirm. Totally.

They go on the date which involves walking around town and then they go to the planetarium like we saw before. Really nice. I like the date because then you're just kind of walking around and whatever peaks your interest you can do. That seems nice. It's not like the best first date idea, but it's fine. We know each other, I guess. It's not like you need to sit down. Okay. They don't actually know each other. They should have a rapport at least kind of so they can organically talk.

But maybe I don't know. I like it. I still feel like we don't learn a ton about Kazihaia in this episode, but we learned something. We never had a family life. So I guess it's that. We learn personality traits, but nothing about like what he likes. Well, like we meet his dad and stuff. Anyway, I'm getting ahead of myself. They go to the planetarium. We get that scene. It's not that much different than the montage we saw.

And then while walking home, Kazihaia sees the star Vega in the sky and then Solaco comments that Vega is a zero magnitude star, which means it's the index at which all other stars brightness is benchmarked against, which I guess they learned from the planetarium. Oh, that makes sense. Just like a real, like a random solaco is like, oh, it's Vega, the zero magnitude star. And I'm like, what? I gotta look that up. Like, why did you say that? I don't know. I guess I'm into astrology now.

Maybe that is that would be cool. Kazihaia teases her saying that if she looks up too much, she'll trip. And then she immediately trips on a rock and he catches her. They get into each other's eyes for a second. And then he retracts his hand and they start walking again. Keep your hands to yourself, mister. Yeah, I guess so. They start walking with Solaco, grabs the hem of his shirt and asks if they can talk for a bit. They take a seat and Solaco brings out more gifts from her bag.

And says she wasn't sure if she should give these to him or not. She pulls out the hat she made for him on Christmas. We learned that it is the exact same hat. She's like, you don't have to wear it. And then she brings out the chocolates from Valentine's Day that she didn't give them. I have a note that says it's not that it's just the same type and not the exact same one. I think she made a new one. It's just a re sorry. I know we got hung up on this. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.

You saying it's a recreation? Yeah, I have a note saying that. So I think that must be what happened. Okay, my note is saying that it's the thing, the actual thing. Maybe the chocolate. I'm going to the scene. I'm going to the scene. I'm pretty sure she said it's the same type. Like not. She said these are the Valentine's Day chocolates I wasn't able to give you. I made one for you with more toppings.

I think this is literally the same thing because I watched the scene and I'm like, well, I guess I got owned because of the end of the last episode. No, no, those are actual. Those are the actual things. The chocolates. What about the hat? I think the hat is. I think she makes a new hat for her dad. That's what I mean. Yeah, she but she take that's the one she gives to cause a high is the original one. She makes her dad a new one. Oh, you see what I'm saying? Whatever. So yeah, minor detail.

I know, but I got owned because I'm like, we learned that it is that hat and we learned that it is those chocolates. Yeah, I knew that I was pretty confident that the chocolates are going to be the same, but which is gross cause I have a way to eat the chocolates and so I look at looks on in admiration. My note is that this is disgusting. Yeah. I eat old Halloween candies. I mean, yeah, okay, but that's like that's like processed in a factory and like vacuum sealed in a little packet.

This is like somebody made this and then it sat around in like a refrigerator or a room or something for like four months. Yeah. It's summer now. That was February. It's fine. Gross. It's fine. Oh, I do have a note. So I ended up watching this on Netflix, but I got like the Netflix with ads. Surprisingly not terrible. Like they weren't super long and they were pretty sparse. I thought it was going to be like bad, like YouTube level ads. Like you're just going to get wrecked.

Yeah, it's actually not bad at all. She says she doesn't really know what a girlfriend's job is and cause I high I says it's not a job. Just be yourself. He hugs her and says that he's happy they're together. The opening plays my notes. No thoughts about this opening. Truly nothing to comment on about this opening. We can't speculate on I on a teacher with who she's showing up with in the title. So yeah, it's just like Sawika walking around and looking at pictures of her friends.

It's like, wow, it's like, wow, that's just lame. It's yeah, it's it's not that great. After the opening, we open on school ceremony to start off summer vacation. Cheesoo yells at some students for being excited about summer break because we learn that her and I on a suck at school and have to pay for remedial summer classes. Although Cheesoo comments that I only doing this because she's single and bored and I want to yells back at Cheesoo that she's single too.

I think some students like are bad, so it's mandatory and the other students can choose to do extra classes. So I think that's the difference. Cheesoo's forced to I on a guy is just doing it. So she's not a bad student. Maybe she's actually a good student. I would have known if she was that good of a student. She's not like ranking like how Sawika is. No, they're very impressed. She's not being forced to do because ranking. Anyway, that's so I guess so I guess Cheesoo single too.

So that's where we're at with that. That's like the only hit we get about what's going on with her at this point. Yep. I guess that we're just going to act like that thing at the end of season two just didn't happen. Yeah, I know I had no repercussions. I don't know if it was just a shoe in because the show was ending and they wanted some kind of. Maybe let's just pretend that the well unless the show addresses it, we'll be.

I mean, it's going to right because we saw it in the trailers, but like this episode is just about Kaziha and Salco. This is like the we get like one more scene with Cheesoo and I on a and that's it. Hopefully we get that kind of sense. Oh yeah. Well yeah, in the future. Sure. Hours left. After school, Kaziha and the boys separate from Salco and the girls. The girls talk about what it means to be a girlfriend.

I on a says that you basically just do stuff together and that's more or less it and she's just like, I'm kind of jealous, even though she didn't really describe it in a way that sounded super fun. I only decides that actually dating someone who you could be physically intimate with them and do stuff like kiss. So it gets freaked out because kissing would be too hard. I on is like, well, you're supposed to like want to do that stuff. So it won't actually be hard.

Like when you get to the point where you would do it. No, it's true. Anxiety is real. Because you don't know how to do it. Yeah, but it's fine. And then the first one's so bad that you develop a fear of it and then avoid doing it for years to come. That's like a practice thing. It's like, you know, iteratively, right? Like you get better at it. The first time. Don't want to do that again. Wow. Putting a lot of stock into this. There's a lot of pressure, man. There's a lot of pressure.

There's a lot of pressure because you're making the pressure. It's the whole thing. This is what I on is like, you can just do whatever. Like there's like, there aren't, you're not going to get like a grade in being a girlfriend or like an intimacy grade. And then go how her date was. She gets so excited and flustered that she says stuff too fast and they're like, I don't know what you're saying. It's scandalous. They held hands. Yeah, it's scandalous.

She gave him the expired chocolate and he ate it. Anyway, yeah. So after that, Salika walks home and thinks about her date with cause a high at home. We learned that Salika has signed up for summer school again. She wonders if she should tell her parents about her boyfriend, but she decides not to. She gets a text from causing high. It's a picture of Mar. She spends back a reply and I can't help but notice that the phone's interface is terrible. Yeah, well, okay. You pay attention to that.

Yeah. Yes. Well, for one, they didn't do where we're magically in the time of iPhone. So they still have their little flip phones. Yeah. I mean, I don't understand messaging in Japan because it's always like they're sending emails and then there's apps for messaging, but there's just no such thing as message like text messages. Yeah. I mean, like I know that the line app. Yes. It seems to be the lines a big deal and like more modern stuff.

Yeah. Well, like she says text message and then a thing comes up being like sending it. It's like percentage going up. What? I mean, I don't think I've ever had something like that. I think some phones were like that. I had like a little scroll wheel. It wasn't like big percentage. Like I'm installing an update or something. Everything I send a message. Yeah. It was very odd. Anyway, what do us Americans know? Hmm. Summer school starts.

Everybody is there, I guess, like just everybody, including Kazahaya and Rio and everybody. I would not be there. I'd be like, I would not be there either. After you do that. Okay. I'm not going to just study more just to hang out with my friends. Oh, no. Sawako asks Kazahaya if they could do homework together after school and he agrees. Outside Ayane is walking in Kento calls out to her using her first name. She's like, we're not that close, but he's like, no, it's fine.

I do that with every girl. I just call them by their first name. That's normal. She's like, but you call Sawako, Sawako. And then she remembers last season where Kento said that he was lucky. He didn't quite fall in love with Sawako. And then she's like, oh, are you doing that on purpose to like create some emotional diff distance between you two? And he says, yeah, kind of. And then leaves because class is about to start. This was a weird interaction. Why did he want to talk to her?

I thought he wanted something. No, unremarkable conversation. We just got to, we got to plant some flags so we can ship them together. It's not selling it to me. I'm not the raw force of being in scenes together enough times will make the relationship happen because TV. I'm still more convinced by the one sentence she said to Karumi than all the interactions. There was so much more emotional charge in that one sentence that anything that's happened with Ken ever.

I just can't take it seriously because he's not a serious character. Like it's like they didn't put effort into developing him as a person. Really. He's just kind of a block device. So it's like, I don't want him for a, I am a, he's not real person. He's a plant. He's not really even doing the thing where it's like, oh, like the comic relief person who's just like doing this so they can avoid something else. It doesn't seem to be any more depth behind it at this point.

I'm sure he'll get a tragic backstory or something. I'm not sure. I don't know. And then I don't know. I don't. Oh God, we'll have to see. Yeah. Sawako tries to make her uniform look like the other girls by tucking in her shirt and unbuttoning the top button of her blouse. Finally tucking that damn shirt in. It looks so bad on tux. It looks way better tucked in. She should just, she should just know how to do that. Yep. Yep. Yep. That seems like better school code, like dress code.

That seems more like what it would be like tuck your shirts in. Seems like a, what the standard would be not on talk. Yeah. It's good because it creates a dividing line in your frickin silhouette. So you don't just look like a cone. Yeah. Anyway, she finds the scandalous, but goes for it anyway. She comes out to see Kazehaya and he comments that her button on her blouse is undone and she gets embarrassed and rebuttons it.

And okay, Sawako, the thing is that it doesn't look very good because you have a bow tie. Everybody else does not have a bow tie. So it just looks like he just didn't do it. Yep. Yes. She doesn't do the tie. Damn. It's a deduction failure. Callerbone didn't do it. She needs to, she needs to commit, you know, you can't, you can't be, you got to take the tie off. It's summer school. You can cut loose now. That's right. Let's see.

They do homework together while Sawako doubts her ability to be a good girlfriend. I have written down Kazehaya's homework questions, which are written in English. Question one. Who discovered Eurasia? He writes, Honaka used the machine. What? And then Eurasia was discovered by whom? And then he said this machine was used by Honaka. So I guess we just have some like random reading passage or something, but it's just really funny to see this is what he's writing in English. Just some nonsense.

Yeah. Wild. They walk home. Sawako lags behind and says that it's so she can look at him while he walks. He says he was looking at her because her uniform was different. Because she like tucked in her shirt. He says that he would have commented on it, commented on it sooner, but he was kind of shy about it. While walking, she reaches out a hand to grab his, but he doesn't seem to notice and then flinches when she actually touches him.

Sawako gets flustered, but Kazehaya realizes what's happening and grabs her hand. He says he's also flustered. They walk home holding hands. The first he's just like holding her fist almost and then it kind of turns into actual hand holding. That's sweet, I guess. Yeah. Well, it's right. They show the silhouette of their shadows and then he saw that her shadow is reading for him and then he's like, wait, what? Is this real life? Looks and yeah. cinematography is pretty good.

It was weird because he like grabbed one hand, but then dropped to grab the other one to hold. Yeah. I mean, this whole like the thing that they're basically doing is like, oh, they're like not committing to stuff and then they decided to commit to such as they do it a little bit too aggressively. You know what I mean? And I'm like, that's kind of cute. Yeah. I guess like fumbling kind of awkward because this is the first time.

Yeah. Yeah. Everything's going great until Sawako's mom shows up and sees her holding hands with Kazekai. That's wild, right? That's how you find out. Yeah. At least it was her mother. Lay more laid back. Yeah. Sawako jumps and let's go Kazekai his hand and then Kazekai introduces himself and tells her mom that they're seeing each other. Sawako then tells her mom that they're dating and her mom's like, yeah, he just said that. And then Sawako starts explaining their entire backstory.

Her mom invites him to dinner and he says yes. And she's like, you should call your dad Sawako and tell him. Sawako does this and her dad hangs up without saying anything. And her mom's like, it's cool. Like he's fine. And then on the way to the current nomas, Kazekai is introduced to all of Sawako's neighbors. So I guess know her. Pretty well. And when she's calling her dad, he calls his parents is like, I'm going to have dinner at my girlfriend's.

So it's clear that she hasn't told her parents, but he has told her. At least there's no like, oh, why didn't you tell your parents? Me. Tiny drama. Yeah, no, I would not think that would happen with this. Yeah. So Kazekai has to meet all of Sawako's neighbors or like, oh, you're dating Sawako. That's so great. And Sawako apologizes to Kazekai, but he says it's fine. He's having a good time, which probably isn't true.

But maybe if you've like been desiring this relationship for so long, it probably would be nice to be like introducing yourself as the partner of the person you've been wanting to be with so long. Like, yeah, it's true. Bragging. That's good. They arrive at Sawako's home and dad is there. Sawako introduces Kazekai to her dad. Her dad makes a fuss and says she was supposed to just make friends, but it's so obvious that she's dating this boy.

Sawako takes this as a compliment because that means, or because like we get a little cut to like some flashbacks of some mean girls at school that are just like assuming that there's no way those two could be dating. So she's like, oh, my dad can reaffirm my dating status. This is great. Yeah. Pretty funny. Yeah. Kazekai says he will chair Sawako and her dad shows off by making some sashimi for Kazekai and then analyzes his manners.

Her mom tells her dad to go change out of his work clothes and like go away. So he leaves. It's like a very weird scene where he's like, oh, our neighbor brought us some fish. Let me seriously cut up this fish and like serve it to you and see how well you hold your chopsticks and stuff like that. Be intimidating with the knife wielding. Be intimidating. Or try to be. Even though he's not intimidating. Not at all. Not a thread. Nothing. So he leaves Sawako's mom apologizes for her husband.

Kazekai says that he can tell Sawako was raised with love and care. Mom recognizes his voice as the one on the phone for Christmas. When he called, it was like, oh, can Sawako come over and she's like, oh, yeah. She thanks him for giving Sawako the push she needed then. Then she asks him a bunch of questions about how they started dating. And the dad shows back up and makes her stop asking all these questions and then shows off the hat Sawako made him as a flex.

And it's like, oh, I bet you don't have a hat like this and Kazekai is like, well, actually I do have a hat like that. Yeah. Devastating. Yes. That's pretty good. But that is this is when I'm like, okay, it looks like she made a new hat. Yeah. Her dad, because that one looks a little different. I guess he didn't notice. I don't know. Call out her dad. Call it again. Um. Her mom tells them like Sawako and Kazekai had to go wait in Sawako's room.

Kazekai says being in Sawako's room is a nerve wracking or is as nerve wracking as meeting her parents, which I don't understand personally. Oh, because, oh, I don't know. It's intimate, I guess. I don't know. It's a big deal to them for like to see. Because I guess after a certain age, just gendered folks don't go to each other's room. So it's like a big deal when you do. Yeah, I guess so.

This was just like not what it was for me because like I was friends with like girls in high school and they would just like, I like, I remember one time I like had them in my room like some like one of my friends in my room. They're like, oh, like you can just like have girls in your room. Like, yeah, it doesn't matter. I guess we also have like a game room. So it's like not the room we would spend time in because it's just my room.

Yes. No, there's definitely like leave your door open policy in my house. I don't know if I had that, but also I was not doing anything anyway. So it's fine. Yeah. They they sit together in solico's room cause I hi has a flashback and says there's no way that he'd hate you solico. What is the context around this? I had this in my notes, but like, I think they're just memorable. I think they're just memorable. He's just like reminiscing on the past, like being in the room.

He sees like some photos and stuff. Yeah. Yeah. I think, yeah, it's just kind of that. But like what it was like back then versus now and I don't know, she still has a 10 stuff. So it could be things like that lingering in her mind that's causing that. Yeah. It's just a little awkward because I know this is the name of the episode, but this is also kind of just unprompted coming because he's thinking a lot of stuff, but he's not thinking anything, you know.

Yeah. So anyway, he says that there's no way he'd hate her. Solico then goes and sits next to him because they were sitting like across each other at like a little table. Then she goes and sits next to him and says she never knows if she's making a mistake around him or not. They're real close to each other and her dad Bersin and tells them the dinner is ready and also stop being so close to each other. They eat hot pot. I want that so bad. I still haven't had a hot pot yet.

You've never had a hot pot. So lovely. Yes. Well, I know it's expensive and yet that we should have had it when you were here. Right. Yeah. Yeah. We talked about it, but we never did. Also, it'd be nice to do it during winter. That seems so lovely. I've done lots of hot pot before. I've like done it at like a person's apartment. Yeah. Her dad's being an aggressive host to cause a higher after dinner cause I high asks or bring some edamame to dad that mom made.

They sit together outside and eat some dad. I'm just going to call him dad. Dad asked cause I high a white. He likes Sawako and cause I high tells him, you know, all the good things he likes about Sawako dad says that he want just one saw a code to enjoy herself since she was a never a very expressive as a child. But now she seems like she's having fun like later in her high school career. So that's great. He thinks cause I high a. For it. And that's the end of the scene. And that's sweet.

He's excited. He doesn't look like a. Coosa or something like a biker. Yeah. It's pretty funny. I don't think anybody in their high school looks like that. No, they wouldn't. You can't know. I don't think so. Mm hmm. Yeah. The night ends cause I high a leaves without telling Sawako something and he thinks to himself that she has no idea that he has also been struggling to act like a boyfriend to they're both going through it and he didn't say anything. Yeah, I mean.

This I'm assuming his first time dating someone as well. So I think yeah, maybe if he. He's just caring a little bit better. Yeah. Well, if he shares that he's nervous too, then that might make her feel. I mean, it could be either two ways like comforting cause you feel the same or it's like, okay, great. Neither of us know what the heck we're doing. Are you even doing this right kind of thing?

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I think it should take it well cause like her whole thing is like, oh, I don't want to put him on a pedestal. Right. So it's like, oh, like we're on the same wavelength here. It's the next day. I'm kidding. It's August now. Summer school is over. It's almost the open holidays, which are a Japanese, Buddhist holidays to honor one's ancestors, but it's like several in a row. We open on Sawako getting jumped on by Mar who is considerably larger now.

Huge. I don't understand this dog bill. Like he's very big, like big, but just huge. Yeah. It's like a fluffy bulldog or something. Yeah. It's pretty weird. We learned that Kazakaya has invited Sawako to do homework. But he, but also figures that she's probably already done hers. He's like, oh, I invited you to do homework, but I didn't realize that you probably already did it because you're like a nerd and I didn't. Just next to you. Yep. Just an excuse to hang out. Yeah. You don't need to.

We learned hang out. I know. Always doing homework. It's not even something cool. Yeah. I don't know. They're actually doing the homework. I have no money. I, yeah, I guess that's doing things, but it's not even like, oh, we can just hang out. You know what I mean? It's like specifically to do homework. Well, I guess they actually specifically do homework because they're nerds. Don't listen to CDs together, kids. What are you doing? I don't know.

I guess if you don't have something pious to be focused on, then what if you, your thoughts, you know, like a very, like I haven't seen them be religious, but this feels like religious conservative kids a little bit. Just without the religion. You know what I mean? Yeah. I mean, she's, she's very formal. Yeah. The light. So I don't see her just kicking back ever. No, I don't think she's ever relaxed in her entire life. She's never slouched in her life.

See, oh yeah, we learned that Salco is going to meet Kazai family today and she's a little bit nervous about it. They go to cause a house, which is also a sports store. We just walk up to a store and he's like, oh, I live here. And it's like, oh, okay. What? And you come in to have a storefront to your house because it's the same thing as Ryu's thing where like the storefront is the store and then you keep walking past it and you get to the house.

Well, there's a lot of, I mean, this is the countryside, but when I was in Tokyo, it's like every building seemed to have a restaurant in it. So, and with the limited space they have, I see it just being like, just put them together. Yeah, I guess I'm gonna, like it's, I guess it's not that uncommon to have like stuff on the first floor in like apartments above it or whatever, but like, I don't know. Here it's more like there's wingtale space and then there just happens to be apartments.

Yeah, a lot of the zoning laws here. I don't know. Because normally it's like, it's like that stuff and then it's office buildings or whatever, right? Like here, because that's how zoning works. It's like commercial space and not residential space. But that's interesting. Next to you. His mom runs the front desk. She introduces herself to Sawako and Sawako introduces herself very formally, but Kazehaya's mom is super casual and tells her to relax the things she cannot do. His mom seems cool.

His mom seems cool. She's like very chill. Yeah. Sawako has a gift and gives her yokan, which is like jelly like candy. Kazehaya and his mom like have a little back and forth and you know, his relationship with his mom is very jokey, which is, which is pretty fun. They're like very casual. Yeah. Anything to say about her partner? Mom? Her guess mom? I mean, I don't know. I mean, I guess I'm glad we're needing something that has to do with his background. Yeah, his mom seems cool.

We'll talk about the other two. I'm surprised that Kazehaya doesn't make more jokes. He's like jokey here because like his mom is very like that, you know, I mean, he might be on his best behavior in front of Sawako because maybe jokes go for her. I feel like in general, like at school and stuff. It's got that kind of also pretty formal. He's being swarmed by people constantly. So it's probably just people talking to him rather than listening to him. Maybe.

Yeah. It's also just like, what does he talk about with all those guys like Joe and stuff like that? You know what I mean? I don't know. What are you boys talking about? Dynamic likes. I mean, you just kind of like hanging out and goof around and stuff and like joke around. But like, I haven't really seen him do that all that much. Well, really, this is my being really is not joking around. That's because Ryu, it takes a nap every five minutes. Can relate. I was like, I don't know.

It's just interesting. Yeah, like makes a little more sense when we get to his dad. Yes. Yes. Yeah, that's right. Can't cut at least with that guy around. Man, I wonder what their marriage is like. Okay. They go into the house proper. I guess so. We learned that his dad and brother are in his younger brother at baseball practice. So they're not at home. They go into Kazahaya's room and that boy has no pictures or posters on his wall. What? They're walls.

Yeah. But he does have a lot of books and CDs and there's like a big ass bookshelf. And is a bed and he has a bed instead of a futon. So, you know, that's a little bit different. Also, his entire room is extremely blue. Yeah, he's a boy. It's got to be blue. And hers. She's a girl. Pink. I can't get over how his room has like the least personality of any place I have ever seen. I mean, I guess, I don't know, like, that environments get that much detail in anime. Like, I guess so.

You know, I mean, but I feel like this is an art wall art. But that's a personality, right? That's me like, Shoko has bad taste in art. Seems true. I believe it in my heart. Cause I hide his room like literally it's like the bed. I'm looking at like a screenshot of it. It's like he's got curtains that are blue. He's got a bed and the spread is blue. And then he's got like, you know, a little table set up with the little seat pillows that are both blue.

And then he just has a bookshelf and most of the books are blue. And then he has like a TV and a little game station and that's where like CDs and stuff like a little TV stand. I must that's also blue. And that's his whole room. He's got cheese's room. She had some posters up. Yeah. I mean, Sawako's room has stuff. I mean, I guess it could depend. He's always out, right? So maybe he doesn't spend that much time at home. So it doesn't matter what his room looks like.

Or maybe his parents are strict in like they set what the room looked like and he just happens to live in it or something. I'm looking at Sawako's room. She's got a calendar. She's got pictures hung up. Like a shelf with like some pictures and like a plant on it. His mom will teach him if he puts photos of people up or something. It's yeah, it's just it's wild how little personality his room has. Yeah. I mean, also the photos in Sawako's room are very funny. Sorry, I'm watching that scene now.

Yeah. Oh, they're all just like not. They're all her being awkward from behind. Yeah, they're not like head on photos. They're all like taken from afar and secret and stuff. Yeah. I mean, also her carpet is like got big circles on it. I think his carpet is just like one color. Let me look. Anyway, his room sucks. Okay. I don't know. Oh, it's a wood floor. It's a wood floor. That's fine. Put a rug down, man. Put down a rug. Put a piece on everything. Maybe. Where does Maru stay?

Did he have a doghouse? They have a doghouse for him. But he shouldn't sleep in a doghouse outside. I can't tell if the doghouse is inside or outside because we just kind of think about how they left him. And it was just like him in a doghouse laid over like a backdrop, not the actual place it's at. Yeah, that's true. Okay. Are we done with our room? Yeah. We'll be roasting his room. His room that sucks. Yeah. Hey, it's fine. It's bad.

Kazahaya brings in drinks for her because she's like looking around and being like, oh, it's all the stuff Kazahaya likes. Books and CDs. And then he brings in drinks. And then he brings out a box full of pictures from the last few years, which he keeps in a box, not hung up on his walls like a person who cares about his life. Savako sees a picture from the test of courage in episode one. He says that she's better at scaring people now and could probably do a lot better if they did it again.

Kazahaya agrees and says that they should go together next time. I do like, I do like Savako's pride at like, oh, I'm way better at scaring people now. My character growth has been really directed at scaring people better. That's great. Yeah. Kazahaya tells her that he had already fell for her then in episode one and she gets all flustered. She says that he or she fell for him when he called her by her first name for the first time or called her by her name for the first time.

And Kazahaya is surprised. She heard him say her name at the sports festival after party, which she fell asleep on the stairs. Yeah. Savako's like, what? She's like, yeah, it's the first time I said it. And she's like, oh, no, I was talking about the time we talked by the flowers and you said my full name. And then he gets all embarrassed and has to explain that he said her name one time when she was asleep on the stairs, which is an embarrassing thing to have to explain to somebody.

Yeah. Alleya-yana knows. Alleya-yana knows. Right. He uses the opportunity to say her name again and then she calls him Shota, which is his first name, but it's too embarrassed to lead it without an honorific. So she adds it on at the end. Yeah, that's fine. Don't be too bold here. Yeah, wouldn't want to be too bold in his room alone. Yeah. Call him by his first name without the honorific. Oh man. Open a window. Kazihae gets a phone call.

Him and Savako have to run some errands and bring them to his brother's practice, which I guess mostly just consists of buying them ice cream. He's buying all the kids ice cream for after practice. While walking to the practice, Savako asks him about his brother and dad. He says that he and his brother are alike and that he and his dad look alike but are not alike in personality. At practice, his brother, whose name is Tota, are talking about ghosts. They're like, oh yeah, ghosts look like this.

They do that. And they see Savako and they're like, oh yeah, ghosts look like that. They look like that lady. His brother is a little punk. The team sees Kazihae and then runs to him because I guess he always brings them ice cream. So he's like, his brother's a little punk. Yeah, it's great. It's very funny for Kazihae in the scene before it'd be like, oh yeah, me and my brother were super alike. And then we meet his brother and he's like a little shit. And I said that they look alike.

They look alike. No, even his dad look alike. No, his brother is a little carpet copy of him. Yeah, his brother does. Well, that's because he just shaped his head because he's like in baseball. Yes, that's what he's called. So they all run to get ice cream from Kazihae. Kazihae introduces Savako to Tota. I like that name. Tota? That's not great. Stupid. Yeah. And he's like, oh, are you Shota's girl? And Kazihae clunks him on the head and is like, you don't say that to people.

She introduces herself and he calls her Savako first name only. And it tells her that he and it tells her that she looks like a ghost before running off. Incredible, incredible opening on this kid. The boys comment that she doesn't have big boobs like a ghost is supposed to. Savako is like, yeah, I guess I don't. And Kazihae yells at them. Yeah, then Kazihae's dad approaches. He's very terse. He's like.

Yeah. He's he's all business except he's like his business is, hey, did you get the right ice cream for me? He asks who Savako is and Kazihae is like, this is my girlfriend. His dad is like, why are you saying this instead of her? And Savako is like, you're right. And then she introduces herself and adds like a bunch of extra information that he did not ask for.

But in this information, we learn stuff like Savako likes Rakugo, which is like a traditional type of comedy show, which is like old kind of like old school stand up. Like you just sit on a stage and you're like by yourself and you say like little like funny poems and stuff. And you do like little bits. And she's like, oh, I would like to try that sometime. Which is a very weird story. Not what I was expecting from her because I didn't get like a public speaking vibe.

What her parents happened to be watching and she doesn't watch TV on her own. So she just only likes whatever TV her parents watch. Yeah, I mean, I guess it fits in with like she likes old traditional stuff. But that was that was interesting. Yeah, I learned something about Savako there. Still learning more about her than him. That his own family. Yeah, we didn't, you know, how come Kazihae didn't do this when he met her dad?

He's gonna be like, I like the Beatles and I like, I don't know, what kind of music do we think Kazihae would be until? Like Creed, you think he'd be into Creed? Kazihae? What? Into Creed? Kazihae? Yeah. I just had a little thing about the Creed cruise. Have you heard about the Creed cruise? No, like a cruise ship. Yeah, like a cruise ship, but it's creed themed. Oh, dude, we should go on that. That'd be fun. Yeah, I think Kazihae would like Creed. I don't think he listens to that.

You think he likes Nickelback? It's that time period, but they're popular. He doesn't listen to that. Well, you think he's listening to? I don't know, freaking Justin Timberlake or something. Justin Timberlake. I don't think he's into like... It was like 2007, right? What's the top 40? 2007, top 40. Is it 2007 that this takes place in? 2011. Oh, 11. Okay. Oh, this was earlier. We're on the brink of Katy Perry. Oh, that's true. Let's see. They're not listening to this stuff.

Number one song of 2011, Rolling in the Deep by Adele. Number two, Party Rock Anthem by LMFAO. You think he's listening to that? No, I don't know what he's listening to, but none of those things. I want him to. That would be so good. Mmm, I don't know. I got Fuck You by Cee Lo Green. We got SuperBase. Do you think he listened to Nicki Minaj? A SuperBase came out then. No, I don't know what he listens to. SNM by Rihanna. I mean, they don't think this is in the rotation. I don't know. We got it.

We got to make Kazi Haia's mixtape. Make a playlist. No, I think he listens to all of these. He listens to like Classic Rock Channel. We don't know enough about him. We don't. I have no idea. Anyways, OK, anyway, back on track. His dad is like, OK, that's enough. You can stop talking to me now. Also, Sawako, you should bulk up more. And then they talk a little bit afterwards. About like that. Anyway, she's along pretty well with them.

Afterwards, Sawako comments that Kazehaya's dad is like a stereotypical father. But different. Interesting. I don't know if you got that idea. Uh, I have no idea. Oh, I can see men being worse stern in Japanese culture, maybe. Yeah, maybe. I mean, he's not like rude, right? Well, I mean, he's not like welcoming, but it was like, oh, you should. That is going.

The bulk up thing feels more like something like a grandma would say, though, you know, I think it's because he's like, oh, you're like a wave. You're going to like fly away. When you ask her if she exercises, so I think he's just more like athletic minded. Oh, yeah. She's like, oh, yeah, I like running the mornings. She's like, oh, OK, it runs once a week. That is not enough to maintain, girl. If you laugh in three days and you're already losing what you've built up running. Yeah. He's right.

You should bulk up. The next arc should be Sawako bulk arc. He's just like swam in protein drinks. Lack of boobs and he's like, maybe that'll help. Have you ever thought about getting massive pecs and being cool and lifting? Oh, dude, if Sawako becomes a power lifter, that would be great. No, I mean, you know, I just think you when they're all oiled up and posing and that's not. No, that's like strongman stuff that you don't like if you're actually a lifter, you don't do that. I don't know.

I got my nails done yesterday and they were playing women's soccer. So that's the only thing I've seen of the Olympics. Well, we know how good she is at soccer. Yeah. And I've seen all the stuff about the Australian break dancer. It's all over the place online. Oh, yeah. Poor girl. I'll see. Kasey Haya says that her dad that his dad likes her and probably his whole family does and Sawako is happy as we cut to credits notes about the credits. They're fine. No notes.

Very uninspiring credit sequence also lame. Because the opening and ending songs for the original seasons were pretty good. Maybe not like that dynamic visually, but I like the audio a lot of those ones. So lame that after a long return, they don't give it proper opening treatment. But. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Episode one. We got a post credit scene. In the post credit scene. Cheezoo hands Ryu some sushi from her mom, he asks her how remedial classes are going and she says it's a lie.

He says that she studied more to get into high school. He's like, well, you studied more to get into high school because you wanted to go to the school that my brother went to. Right. She's like, no, I wanted to go to the school you were going to go to. Okay. This is a scene I did not see. It's really like a pretty important scene. I didn't know I was watching a Marvel movie. Okay. Oh man. Yeah, we're in the era. We're in the poison by Marvel era.

After all, if they went to different schools, she wouldn't be able to cheer for their baseball team because then they'd be competitors with Ryu's team. She gets up to leave, but he grabs her by the hand and tells her thanks. She. Walks away. Okay. I mean, the rewatch that, I guess. Camber pans up to a shit ton of stars. Where's Beamer? What are they? Oh, where's Virgo? Or whatever. So I guess next episode is going to be about them. Okay. Sweet. Good. Cause her and cause I hire in a good place.

I think we can. They're just, they just need time. So in that time, we can get some more. Cheezoo and then Ayana, hopefully. And maybe even some Karumi at some point. Yeah. So what'd you think? What'd you think about the first fifth of this season? Is there only five episodes? Only five episodes because episode six is a 10 minute recap of the season two. Oh, okay. Um. Yeah. I mean, I did it. It's, I didn't, it seems weird to have them meet both parents within the same episode.

Like you would think it, I guess it technically it's been like, what was the time? The episodes. What was the like time that went between the two visits of parents? Cause. Uh, a couple of days. Yeah. That seems pretty tight. Turn around. No, wait. I don't remember if it happened before the end of summer break or not. Let me look at my notes. When was the time skipped to August? Um, hmm. I'm just doing my notes. August. Control F. Control. Only just play the offspring's intermission song.

So good. Huh. You think that would be on his playlist? Maybe. I could maybe see him listen to the offspring. Okay. Maybe I could see that maybe. It's not punk. Like you think you listen to like my chemical romance? Like there's no way. Like, I don't know. Maybe like smashing pumpkins or. I mean, I don't, you know, I don't know what the penetration of Western music is into.

I don't think it's, I've seen videos of people asking, uh, Japanese citizens that they recognize celebrity photos and they do not. So, okay. Well, I don't know. I don't know who Evan Am was. International top four. They, they gotta know that. He knows who Adele is. Maybe he's secretly obsessed with idols and he's a weird little otaku. Oh God. He took out all his posters when she came over. Always got nothing on the wall. Uh, okay.

So they, she meets, he meets her parents and then there's the time skipped to August. Okay. Then that makes more sense. Okay. So what have been broken up probably within multiple episodes then cause it, it felt weird to have them be. That's a really big, like imagine you meet like your, if like your, your boyfriend meets your parents and then you don't meet there is for like two months. Yeah. It's a long time. Yeah. That is true.

Um, and like how much did they hang out between that time where they like, we gotta be studious in that waste time. Probably looking around, but. Um, yeah, it was fine. I really just, I mean, they're established, right? So now I really, I'm just looking forward to the, the B plot, the other characters. Um, so yeah. You. Yeah. Feeling. Uh, this is fine. Like I did some of the stuff I want, but I also feel like, I, this doesn't propel into a next episode. You know what I mean?

Like this doesn't give me anything to work from here off phone. This is the problem. Like I know that we plant the little flag that I like, I don't know. It's like, you're, you're gonna have to kiss him at some point, right? And then she got work, but like that didn't go anywhere. No. So like we're kind of just spinning our wheels a little bit. I mean, it's fine. Like I like these episodes. It's good to meet the parents, you know, but it's not like that led to any strife.

Particularly it's just like, I met their parents and they like me. It's like, okay, cool. Yeah. What are we doing? Next time we learn that they go on an international flight. So, we get like a next time on trip. So if there's hot springs, then freaking Joe is going to be trying to peep on the girls and then I got to throw something at him. I don't know. I feel like that's too cartoony for this show. Uh, Joe is a cartoon. Look at his face. He's not even a really anime character.

Like, well, cause we know they're going to like whatever Hawaii or something, right? From the trailer. I think I know. So I'm sure. Ok, now whatever. Or they're going to, they're going to somewhere with the beach. Yeah. Um, so you think we're going to have like. Like being like, we see all the girl. Yeah. We're going to see everybody in the bathing suit. It's definitely going to be that. And so I was going to have one that's like, like, she's going to wear like a wet suit or something.

Red stripe, like body suit. Yeah. Somehow it's going to make her look like she's dead. No, I don't make sure she looks good. I love Godmother, so she'll make sure she wears a cute one. And she's going to be all plushy in the cause of high is going to be all plushy. I think she will have like an athletic. Yeah. She's going to be like, look at these hot legs of mine. Sounds like they look good. Do you think Saloko knows how to swim? Yeah, she seems pretty athletic.

Oh, well, I bet one of them doesn't know how to swim. I bet one. This is my call to someone. How somebody does not know how to swim. I don't know. May I? I may. Maybe I feel like she would know how to swim. I don't know. We shall see. I feel like she's just going to be laying out under the sun. Gangs, gang cancer. Oh, she's going to be doing a hotoco. Oh, you're going to be going to be sunbathing. I'm doing it. Like in my movies.

They're going to be like a cave where they do a different kind of test of courage or the spooky cave and blah, blah, blah. I feel like that's always by the beach. I feel like there's always a spooky caves at the beach. An anime where there's like rumored. I don't know. It's a pixie pop, this random ass manga. I only have three volumes. Okay. Because I feel like all of the anime show up going to the beach stuff is like you're going to split that watermelon with that stick.

The game that sounds like fun. Well, if they're there for a trip, they're there for extent time. So there's like nighttime activities such as the sparklers and all that crap. But yeah, sometimes there's like a cave on the beach side. Usually I feel like they're usually drama episodes too. Like you get the high drama stuff. Like Kotaru and that's right. We got them in the nail clear. So hopefully we'll get some of that.

Maybe. Well, this is where I think this is where the Chizu Ryu like some other girl hitting on him happens. Yeah. So that's going to be the drama. And then who's going to sneak into whose room? Somebody's going to sneak into the girls room where vice versa or you got to avoid the teachers and need out at night. That's the thing. Pin pin's going to be on the prowl trying to catch kids trying to sneak out at night. Yeah. Yeah. That's definitely going to happen. Yeah. Yeah. All that typical stuff.

Maybe there will be bugs. There's going to be big cicadas and beetles to capture. Chizu's going to be catching bugs like she does a kid. Oh, that's right. She's going to get bugs. Maybe. And then I got nice going to be like freaked out by them. No, I already is going to have lots of lots of scenes with Kent probably. It's going to happen. You think they'll get better? You think they'll sell you on the relationship? I don't like it. I don't like the idea of it. I'm having a hard time.

I just don't like him, which means I'm not going to like them together. He's got a lot of work to do. He does. He does just feel like a plot device. It's weird to be like in this also a person. They were. Yeah. I need Karumi to be in it. Yeah. So she'll be wearing the sunglasses that she wore. Save me. Karumi cries. This white ones. Yeah. Well, well, that's that's episode one. Pretty good.

Not really doesn't really set us up for the next episode, but I guess it's just like the reunion tour kind of like we're just happy to have something. That's true. Probably being like here's the payoff to them being in a relationship. They go on this date wearing bad clothes. Everybody's family. Ah, yep. And we learn that cause a high room is depressing. Yeah. Unremarkable. He does run a sports. His family runs a sports store, which is pretty good.

Yeah. It seems like a waste that he's not doing sports. I know what's up. We're going to learn something about that. I thought we were getting some more angst about his dad because like clearly this is like he quit something with his dad. Right. Yeah. I probably treasure or maybe he had a injury. And that's often. Yeah. All you boys. I'm a little nervous. Because like that sounds like some good drama, right?

Like that sounds like a good story, but like we only have four more episodes and we got to do I on a Kent. We got to do cheese and Ryu and then we got to learn something more about cause a higher right. Yep. Yep. And that just feels like a lot for the manga is like over 30 episodes. So I'm trying to think I don't know that season three even is that that would be the end. So maybe hopefully hopefully we'll get there. Oh, all right. I want to roll into recommendations. Yeah, sure.

Okay. Cool. Take away. Okay. I will have one. I'm going to recommend the podcast I was listening to. Oh, I'll drive a. Evolution. It's called it's yeah. It's podcast ended a while ago actually. I'm not sure what the guy is doing next. I don't know. But I like this podcast called revolutions. It goes through a bunch of different revolutions that happen in kind of a chronological order starting with the English Civil Wars, which is the stuff with like Cornwall, Cornwall is whatever his name is.

His name. Yeah. And then it goes like the American Revolution and the French Revolution and the Haitian Revolution like keeps going on and like it's pretty interesting because a lot of those things build off of each other. Like, for example, the Haitian Revolution happens at the same time as the French Revolution and like stuff that happens in one affects the other one. And so that's really cool. And you know, it goes through it.

It goes all the way to the Russian Revolution or like the Bolshevik or that revolution in, you know, 19 whatever 15. And it's cool. It's just like it's like a fun to learn about that period. Like I haven't known that much about the period between like all the different kingdoms and stuff like how did the kingdom of or like how did Italy become unified out in Germany become like a state?

So it's interesting like walk through all of these these things here and kind of get in this very like nice serviceable you know, podcasts, these episodes are all about, you know, 30 minutes to an hour each. They're like very well kind of laid out in terms of like now we're going to focus here. Now we're going to focus on this thing. It's like good at building a narrative of like what's kind of going on. It's like very listenable.

You know, I just listened to these like five hours just back to back to back because it's like very engaging, very good history podcast if you are into that kind of thing. So revolutions its podcast. Okay. That is inspiring. My recommendations. Um, have you ever heard of a show called making history? They only had one season.

It's like a this is comedy where basically this just kind of dumbass discovers time travel and goes back and then starts like, you know, like a bunch of movie quotes or songs. He's like claiming as his own creation and it's just kind of like all the founding fathers are like bros and there's a lot of parallels being drawn between like the British and Americans then versus like Democrats and Republicans now and the Americans are like, don't take her guns and all this stuff.

But, um, it's really funny. It yeah, it only had one season, but. Uh, it's, you know, like everything smells back here or back in time and this and that and it's changing the future and it's got there's one recognizable actress. I think the girl who plays Blair from gossip girl, Leighton, uh, maester, meester, um, she's in it and I don't know. I just fondly remember it and it's, you know, revolution time face like your recommendation just totally false though. And yours is the true one.

So if you want a comedy companion show to go along with Joe's recommendation, then check out making history, which is on. Apple and prime, baby. Yeah, it's on stuff. Um, yeah, history themed recommendations. We like history here. That's right. Um, sweet. Well, wanna talk about how sad it is, our laps and reviews and how we need more to keep us inspired. Oh yeah, right. It's in review us. We're feeling real sad.

Um, you know, sometimes we feel sad and to comfort myself, I'm like, let's see how the podcast is doing. I'm sold out after this. Basically doing the same camping trip. Sometimes things go bad for me and I need something in my life to pick me back up and it could be this podcast. If you rate it five stars and leave a comment on your podcast platform of choice, the one that you listening to right now. So please do that.

If you've not done that, tell your friends about this because I was, I'm always trying to figure out like, can we game the algorithm in some way? Can we do so? Should we be like, should we do, should we like rename the show? Should we name the episodes to get some real, um, what? S-O-S-E-O. Yep. Engine optimization. I just, I don't know, you know, I'm at a loss here. So I think you should just tell all your friends and then I won't have to care about algorithms ever again.

Yeah. Not like it's my job or anything. So please do that. Yes. Pretty please. With a cherry on top. Um, but yeah, so I'm going to be good and edit this on time. And we're back into the swing of things and, um, looking forward to next, or hopefully, cheesy content. Everyone look forward to that. Um, we'll see if it's handled properly. We'll see how to remove emotes. That'd be cool. Ooh. Or he's going to like fall asleep at the beach and then get a horrible sunburn, maybe that could happen.

Um, but yeah, uh, any parting words, Joe? Um, remember if you have pictures that are important to you, maybe you should frame them and hang them on your wall instead of just keeping them in like a pile. Yeah, I didn't. I just had all my posters. So I don't put like people. I know. He just pulls out a bin with a bunch of photos in it. I'm like, dude, your wall's got nothing on him. Just like throw a collage up there or something. Get a, get a, get a corkboard going. You know, yeah.

With the hangers. Yep. That's right. You got to give yourself something to look at in your room, man. When you bring your girlfriend over to your room and you're going to like do something. Yeah. Like later on when you don't just do homework and maybe you want to like, I don't know, make out in your room or something. It would be nice if you had like something on your walls. I weren't there. This is what you get.

Like cause I high is definitely like going to become like a bachelor that has like one single chair and like a mattress on the floor. Feels like, you know, yeah, he does not got it. No. Well, his mom did say he had cleaned before she came. So we don't know how tight he is. Yeah, that's right. Um, yeah. All right. Thanks for listening. You got to come up with a cause I high on mixtape. I think he listens to Creed. I don't think so. Do you think so? Listener, then let us know.

I think it'd be funny if you did. What do you think cause I high? It was like a good like whatever, like my religious friends listening to high school. People thought I was religious and I was listening to like, I don't know, disturbed and stuff. So looks can be deceiving. People thought you were reliant. They think you were religious cause you're so conservative. No swearing and this and that. Oh my God. You need a party.

I went day drinking for the first time yesterday and I was like, it's so hot. This is awful. And then my sister is trying to auction me off like trying to it's interesting hearing her pitch for me like. Trying to wait. She was actually off you to you. No, it was like there's like, what's the single guys here? This is like a big group of people and then I was like, oh dear. Wow. So that was interesting. That's pretty good.

We just we need to get we need to go to hot pot and order like one of those big Steins of beer or whatever like the ridiculous ones that you see. Ew. Oh, okay. The ones that pluckers they have my mom got a large beer once and is embarrassing how big it was. Great. I think it's so funny. They're huge like a little tankard. Yes. I'll ask you if like, can we get this tankard full of seltzer? What do you like to drink? You like seltzer? No, I don't like carbonation. Oh my God. That's right.

It makes it top. Wine. I don't know. No, I don't like why you're there. What are you danger if you got in there? I've had margaritas and tequila sunrise. Okay. It felt right. You like tequila. Nothing felt nothing. What is happening? I'm not going to drink anymore. If it's just nothing happens because it doesn't taste good. Well, I should probably stop drinking so much because then I won't mess up my camping trip. Even worse than it's already messed up. It was already messed up.

It was already messed up. I can't believe the tank broke. It's like the most important thing about camping now. Not there. Okay. Yeah. Bear spray just in case. No, yeah, they're not bears over there. Okay. Okay, guys. Thanks for listening. Talked to you next week. See you later.
