The “What If Anime” Premise

SPEAKER_00

This is your boy X-Fan. This is your boy Oski in the midst. Guys, do we have a bug one for you today? We are talking what if anime. What if your favorite show, movie, that's never been an anime was converted and turned into an anime? How would it work? France, man. You imagine France? So that's that's the basic idea. We're gonna turn your favorite TV shows, movies, books into a 12-episode anime. That's right.

SPEAKER_01

First form, so far, Tivid.

SPEAKER_00

Tivid. That's hilarious. That's a good one. No, I think honestly, if French was an anime, I would watch it. I'd watch all 10 seasons. You know what I'm saying? At 24 episodes apiece, I think it'd be hilarious.

SPEAKER_01

I want a rooftop episode.

SPEAKER_00

Like with Joeling's talking about homework. So instead of it being the coffee shop, it would be rooftop.

SPEAKER_01

That's great. Yeah, that's from rooftop. Fair enough. We did a uh beach episode as well.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, that's gonna be a beach episode.

SPEAKER_01

100% slice of life.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. And I mean, French did have that beach episode early on. Real? Yeah, with the jellyfish? Oh, where somebody has to get beat on, right? Yeah, Monica gets beat on. That's right. If you got it. I think it's anime that too. Bro, this is sad. I feel like they've ever done it, but you know. That will fit great in a Japanese anime.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

There's just Joey or Chandler relieving himself.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, like a splash of water.

SPEAKER_00

Wait, what kind of anime turn that turn too? Not the same one that you're taking about. But uh, but no, man, absolutely. Friends could work, different characters, different relationships, obviously, you know what I'm saying? Different locations. That'd be really cool. But are they still in New York or are they in Japan?

SPEAKER_01

Oh, that's a new one. They'd be in Tokyo, obviously. Right? There's a busy city comparison. I think the coffee shop is a tea house.

SPEAKER_00

Or maid cafe.

SPEAKER_01

Maid cafe.

SPEAKER_00

It would be a maid cunning. Right? Was that character? Gunther at the coffee shop? Oh, yeah, I forgot that. It's not an actual maid, just Gunther dressed up as a maid. I got the job for the summer. Don't judge me. That's hilarious. That's so funny. What else we got on that web button for?

Friends As A Tokyo Slice Of Life

SPEAKER_00

Oh, one that somebody suggested, one of our listeners, was like, Man in black could make for a great admin.

SPEAKER_01

Man, that was at so much low right there. In fact, you can even do like one which called the Men in White, where like they focus on the spiritual level of instead of the alien side, it's like the sister department. Like Dante? Like Dandana, pretty much. Organized, because there's a whole like a government thing. So you can even do like levels. These are S tier agents, you know. And instead of you know letters is Agent 1, Agent 2.

SPEAKER_00

Bro, that's such an anime thing where you're like class systems S, A, B, exactly, bro. Level 1, 2, 3. They're not gonna make like 10 symbols. Agent water, agent like fire. Interesting.

SPEAKER_01

It's like America is so much more. Like you could use like one season one, escalation with Bigfoot, you know, season two, escalation, like the Appalachian Mountains, all those like those screen stories out there.

SPEAKER_00

The American version. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. That would be wild. But again, if they brought it over to the States, I think that'd be really cool though, man. Like they're like, alright, we're going to the we're going far west, boys. You know what I'm saying? We we're something got amnival horror or something like that. I don't know. What did they introduce like real horror elements? That'd be really cool, like actual stories. Like uh they got what, the suicide force or something in Japan? No. No, anyway, there I mean so many stories. So many stories they can work down. Well, I like the men in white aspect. Okay, but like who trains them?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, that's a good one. Oh, well, I'm gonna go you know what part of it, you know what also made a good story? Which I'm gonna answer that yes, which was that movie Michael B. Jordan by the uh the vampires? Spinner? Spinner, yeah, yes. That's a good one. Yeah. Okay, so at the beginning of the movie, one was like what, like there were the Native Americans were hunting down the vampires? Oh yeah, yeah. I would say that. Like, like if I would animate that, who trained the Native Americans? Oh.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, bro, that's a cool origin, though. Like it started with dreamcatchers, then it's actually.

SPEAKER_01

But they they teach the the US government how to find a man, mend the wine, you know, it's just the opposite of when they go.

SPEAKER_00

Bro, that's what's up.

SPEAKER_01

But that's so story because a lot of people want to focus on the character of the Irish vampire. Their whole lore right there could have been like an animation.

SPEAKER_00

That's the whole art, bro. That's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_01

I always use the animatrix style. You know that animatrix style? If you guys see the animatrix, there's like a unique takeaway of anthology of anime. That style anime. Because it's not only okay, random anime. No, I'm gonna go as far as the type of anime. Because I always like the name giving the animatrix style, like the color green for sure, the how they use the black colors, and they resonate. Especially the one about the racing one of the animatrix anthology, that style anime. It has to be that uh very detailed EM Flux style.

SPEAKER_00

I like it. I like it, I like the idea. It's cool. Alright, what else we got, boys? Oh, what's our next uh somebody sent us?

Men In Black With Anime Ranking

SPEAKER_00

Harry Potter as an anime. Harry Potter seemed like an easy cash grab at first, but then I was like, let's let's take it from a weird perspective. Like, let's go from Hackridge's point of view and seeing generations of children come through. Some go to the dark side, some die, some end up becoming legends. You know, like kick trouble door, you know what I'm saying? Like a darker version of another.

SPEAKER_01

This is an insect guy. Because in sync guys, you can play with so much stuff. Like, wasn't Insecan like the military uh join into that world? Like the whole battalion tanks came up.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, you're talking about gate.

SPEAKER_01

Is that the one?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

I want something like that one, like with predator. Like predator, somehow insect guys into every part of magic world.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, bro. What is it? Alien versus predator versus mages versus wizards? Bro, that'd be sick.

SPEAKER_01

Hell, I can pay it like this. Like, you know how most insect guys start with the with the truck? You guys see the second predator, right? It starts in New York. Yeah. But this one will start in Tokyo, right?

SPEAKER_00

And it's a predator running down the street.

SPEAKER_01

And then as he's chasing somebody, this truck appears, right? Truck? Truck? He's just like, what is that? That's when you get predator, you know. I was hunting human beings and I got ran over my truck and woke up in a wizard world.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, absolutely. That works. I would watch that. You know what I'm saying? And then he comes back 20 years younger, though. You know what I'm saying? Like classic. He was like 50. He comes back like prime 30s, and he's like, alright. Absolutely. And he has to attend magic school. Yeah, now he's gonna attend magic school. Now he has to learn how to abuse the weapons. Anyway, I'll stop. That'd be sick. Like Xenomore started taking on like elemental powers, fire, ice. I can see the 12 episodes. All major type stuff, that'd be sick. I was looking at Harry Potter, not Harry Potter, but I think Fantastic Beast would make a good animal. Fantastic Beast and where they come from would be such a good animal. Take me to a Magic Force. I just want a beast of the week, you know. Like, give me a monster of the week that I want to be like the week. It's just him and his briefcase trying to catch a ball. Wait. So Pokemon. But with a briefcase. With a briefcase. You know what? I watched them. There's no uh, what is it like? Your all your poka uh Pokemon would be in a single bag. You wouldn't have to send it to Professor Oak and only have seven. It'd be like, I have my entire 200 Pokemon that I've caught, take my 200 toros at a single time and say open some up. Yeah, that'd be sick. You're like, alright, now for my final move. That would be that would be a good anime. And inside the suitcase, you know, there's a whole lot of space? Yes. It's like Asian, and there's like a RAM shop in there. I think that works.

Wizards Monsters And Isekai Predator

SPEAKER_01

I wanna I wanna make cafe style like Godfather movie. Like the whole thing, but instead of like mafia is made, the main cafe.

SPEAKER_00

Well, that makes sense. That actually don't give me sorry, I keep about made warning. Okay, is the godfather means?

SPEAKER_01

Bro, instead of the godfather, it's called the grandmother.

SPEAKER_00

When you gotta watch it, bro, you have a flash already in there, you said.

SPEAKER_01

This is the whole scene, like on the day on my dog. The godfather and us, Mr. President.

SPEAKER_00

Alright, uh, let's see. Godfather actually would have been cool. You know what I thought would be really good with Scrubs. Has anybody seen the medical show Scrubs? I'm not a phenomenal show, right? That is an anime for me personally, it would be great. Like watching JD go off into his daydreams, I think it'd be way more ridiculous one because it's anime, right? And then like the fact that everybody's aware of it, they just walk off and he comes back down. He's like, that's why you never eat bananas with a monster. You know what I'm saying? Like I think it'd be hilarious. So far. I would watch it. I think a friendship, like a slice of life, a romance. But it's like, you know, it's an anime, so it's actually a boy-love anime. There's a musical. It's gotta be a musical ex uh. I want to see this guy love. This is guy love. I thought Scrubs have been absolutely phenomenal. Okay, what about some movies that could be turned into anime? Do you see Rush Hour as an anime? Yes. Rush Hour, but again, take it even further, different perspective. Let's go from their parents' point of view, bro.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, I have to say it would be your daddy dad. Yeah, the whole scene.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, yeah. Like it goes back to the night of like it's a prequel. It's called Rush Hour Zero. Zero. I think we get to one. That is about their dads.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, bro. I would watch that. And then part three is about the children, a partner, and the Jackie Son for Rush Hour Shampooin.

SPEAKER_00

Rush Hour C Man. Yeah. And then we go move on to Rush Hour Super. No, Rush Over T T that nobody talks about. I need a tournament. I want a tournament. I want a tournament. Oh, bro. Cop tournament? It starts off with the comp exchange program, trying to educate everybody on the cultures of how the programs work. It's an underground comp tournament. You know what? I'll watch that episode, bro. And I don't know where you realize that he's a badass martial artist, that Lee's dad is like, oh, he doesn't just talk about it, he's actually about it. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? I think that'd be cool. And then they go to a beach for the beach episode. Don't forget the rooftop. Don't forget the rooftop. But again, I think it'd be cool if you took it to uh I mean the Rush Hour One 2 did also. Season one, it takes place in LA, season two in Japan or Tokyo. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Watch it, bro. I mean, they gotta spread the like the mystery over the 12 episodes. Yes. So over the whole week they investigated. Is it uh the triads are still involved as well, right? That still works as far as uh still worked. Or they get easy guy, but now they gotta investigate an org partner. I think it's true. An orc murder. That would be cool. Try to actually be just like they're getting along with each other and out of nowhere. Trunk just comes through the red life. I got hit by a truck. Jackie! Got hit by a truck. I love how the character's name is Lee, and we still call him Jackie.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, yeah, it is Lee. I can forget it, too.

SPEAKER_00

No, I forgot. It's Carter. I'm sorry, Vincent Carter. That was the only guy that's a name. I was like, what was Chris Tucker's character's? Anyway. It works. It works, guys. Trust. Trust. Trust the process. It

Rush Hour Zero And Tournament Ideas

SPEAKER_00

wasn't a good one. Well, another one sent in by listeners was Four Wing. They want to see Four Wing as an anime. Anybody a book reader? No? Novice? Yeah? Fourth one? Okay. Four Wing. I can visualize the whole book as an anime already. Dirty stuff. Well, actually, Four Wing is pretty clean compared to some others. Some moments. But for the most part. It's more like self-core, you know. Animated. But Four Wing would be Four Wing, like, like the plot of it already like lents itself for an anime. Yeah, I think Dragon Academy? The Wyburn, man, get reincarnated to a Dragon Academy. Dragon Academy. Yeah. As a Dragon Rider. But the Wyburn, even like the bad guys, we haven't got a bunch of their story to tell from that perspective, I think. Like, or from an internal for your like one of the things that we're talking about. Oh, you said that you wanted a prequel. Like hundreds of years in the past. Like the first one. The guy that tapped into the bad guys called. The bad guys' names? No? No? Of the Fourth Wing? The guys who can tap into the power of the Earth. I can't remember either. I can't remember. Anyway, guys, remember, shout out. I know you're right. For them where it first originated three months ago. That was originated cool. Yeah, those guys I thought would have been a badass story as far as like how they got corrupted, dealing with temptation, probably having struggles of like not being strong enough or not being able to will a dragon or ride a dragon, fearing for death, and they're like, okay, screw it. We're gonna go ahead and just tap into the dark side. Kind of like Star Wars. It could work. It could work. It would work. What are you guys looking at me for? Oh, I thought you had another one for coming up with the gap. What the hell? Sorry, back to the back to uh Back to the Future as an anime. Back to the Future did have like an animated run, but it wasn't an anime. I would it wasn't an anime, it was a cartoon, right? Yeah. Where like Doc and his family go around in the train. Yes. Yes. Okay, yeah, that's exactly it. Yeah. So it's like, alright, if that necessarily happens. Oh no, I saw a plot hole, bro. They talked about it. You remember when Bit goes back to the past and gives himself the alpha neck? Yeah, or back to the future. There's like several plot holes, right? What's the light situation is when he goes back to the future to give like to drop off the DeLorean? Give me that actual future, like the bad timeline. When he actually has it, give me that. He goes back to that and he has to see like the repercussions of his actions. And like his great great grandson is now like the president of the world and full as hell. He has a big casino or something. What he meant in the past. So imagine 40 years or whatever that is gambling, like Irish doing the gambling. Yeah, remember because their timeline is if you travel back to the future from that point, you go into that future timeline, not the original timeline. Somehow in the movie, if it goes back to timeline A instead of timeline B, even after he gives himself the almanac. So that being said, I gotta start in Back to the Future. That's my bad. Sorry, bro. Timeline of how bad it would have been in realizing that he made a mistake of like, I ruined the world, like World War III happens, and my son's like, I don't know, freaking uh what's that one movie where it's like uh end of the world but like desert and they're fighting in cars? Matt? Matt, yeah, it's like Mad Max Universe that he's created. You know what I'm saying? Anime style, bro. It'd be sick. Nobody would watch that. Oh man, let's go, let's go, let's go. It's like another timeline, you know? Absolutely. What's the the anime series that has a bunch of different timelines? Fate. It's like a fake, fake. There's like back to the future, fake zero times free. Square. Square. MC Square. Evangelia, redone. Back to the future. Thanks for me. Watch that, bro.

Fixing Back To The Future Timelines

SPEAKER_00

Parks and Rex. You guys ever watch Parks and Rex? Parks Marx was a great show. Parks Marx. How'd you make the anime? Bro, the anime is gonna work because the treat yourself episode for me is hilarious. You guys haven't seen it? That's a great episode. And they're just going around everywhere just buying dumb, unnecessary things. It's like, I don't use my still unnecessary. Well, like, if I got a giant Snorlax that was like a beanbag, not necessary. What's his name, Ron?

SPEAKER_01

Not Rom.

SPEAKER_00

Uh no. Is he a SARS character?

SPEAKER_01

No.

SPEAKER_00

Rom or Sons.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, the same face all the time. So just copy and paste that shit all day.

SPEAKER_00

That would be hilarious, bro. They'll take a man to make it into an anime if they're a high school club trying to like better the park in their CD. That's right. Oh, high school council? Environmental group or something like Club. Just park's recreation club.

SPEAKER_01

And he's like the cheerful hit one.

SPEAKER_00

And Ron Swanson is like the school club uh counselor. Andy has been the jerk, right? Andy has to be Andy has to be the jerk. He's like the Who Gang character with the buzz cut. With a pump a tour. There you go. Yeah. And he totally gives him shit the entire time and then finally he ends up like converting over to the club.

SPEAKER_01

That would go. But I want to be literally in the recreation part of the school.

SPEAKER_00

But it's going to be a festival day? You know what I'm saying? The festival episode. Well, different clubs beat and there's like a different organization.

SPEAKER_01

Also now, see, again, a tournament art, you know? Of all the high school council. They're gonna have the tryouts, right? Like the relays or whatever. Why don't we look at the office group? The office? Like the office. The thing is, you've got to like animate them looking at the camera.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, you have to do like the fourth wall breaks like looking at you and just totally like because anime doesn't have fourth wall breaks, do they? Sometimes they mention fourth wall breaks as far as like they look at the camera. Sometimes they make references to them sometimes. But again, I feel like that wouldn't be a show since it already exists in that in that culture to just introduce it even more. Like breakaway when you're talking to the camera one-on-one.

SPEAKER_01

Instead of Kevin walking with the uh what did that on his hand that he fell with this? Oh, chilies or something? Chili cheese? Chili, yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Uh what could be another good one?

SPEAKER_01

Because a lot of things have to change besides just like animated, because you have to change like the food and the culture with that too. Kind of like you're doing right now with Parks and Rex, but it would be in a high school. Yeah. In this case, there has to be like the details about beyond just trading and like what do they use out there and stuff like that?

SPEAKER_00

Dino Crisis. Dino Crisis? Well, Dino Crisis was Japanese, that's a problem. The media? Was there an anime?

unknown

No.

SPEAKER_00

Jurassic Park, bro.

Jurassic Park As True Horror Anime

SPEAKER_00

You know? Sure. Jurassic Park? That'll be fun. I mean, they have an animated series.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, but if you do do it, then this is what you bring into horror because you can finally follow the book. Because like the book is whole thinking about, oh careful, don't convince the reptiles with dying no DNA. Turns out the book is like waiting up at waiting uh ahead of its time where where the author was advocating, no, they come from birds, not really from reptiles. So I feel like in and I would even use like that that blood anime, the one about the uh your body type. Oh, the blood works? Yeah, but that'd be a perfect style of animation work on that. Oh, that'd be like or speaking quickly, we might show you some.

SPEAKER_00

I'll say MAPA does everything, bro. We're paying an attention.

SPEAKER_01

And this would be like, hey, unfiltered science is bad on this one.

SPEAKER_00

That would be cool. I don't know, man. I think like crazy designs for these dinosaurs would be dope. I don't even know if we need to go past the original trilogy, though. Like, where they said it's splice things together, would you would that be shipped in? Well, that's yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Alpha and Omega. And again, you get the dinosaurs, they put them in the tournament, see what's the most fun.

SPEAKER_00

Well, you get the body armor for no reason other than just like, you know.

SPEAKER_01

I'm just saying everything has to have a tournament. It's a best syllabus.

SPEAKER_00

There's some easy ones that we could see as anime. Like Transformers, we could make an anime out of that. Yeah, I'm about to say it's called Gundam. Oh, wait, never mind.

SPEAKER_01

But that one promotes the uh war, right? Child war crimes is crazy. Gundam is crazy, no guys, nothing war. Shake out just blast, though.

SPEAKER_00

Right, and we all remember the blast. No, man, I think that would have been a really good one. Gundam obviously did a very, very good job, but just having the robots themselves speak and like not being piloted by people, I thought that would have been interesting. Like just talking Gundams? No people inside? Yeah, transformers. Yeah. That is the part of the podcast where we go around in circles.

Pacific Rim Origins And Blade Ronin

SPEAKER_00

Pacific Rim? Pacific Rim? Pacific Rim. Yeah, that's a real room. I mean, that one has a lot of Japanese influence, obviously kaijus, they're fighting kaijus. Yes. But Pacific Rim, they did an animated series in Netflix that was like I don't know what. I don't know which way it was going. Like that's certainly a lot of action. There was a clone, there was a clone mixed with a kaiju. Anyways, but a cool anime series would be like where Pacific Ring starts is the end of the Jagger serum. So from the start of the Jaggers all the way to the end of the Jaggers, we need that animated series, you know? Oh that was sick. And every every episode would be uh focused on one of the big bags for Jaggers. Yeah. Like the Russian one, the Chinese one, and all the other ones that they mentioned in the movie that get destroyed. Oh, that'd be sad. You know what happens at the end? We lose. So it's like Is that how it ends? Well, that's how you would lose it. Pacific Range starts. Right. Yeah. I'm not gonna go into it. You know, big shin money. We don't talk about the second one, but nah, yeah, yeah. You know what I thought would have been a really good one, bro? Easy cash grab also is Blade. Blade? Blade as an animal would be sick. Well, put it in Japan. Give him a samurai sword, give him like a lone, like lone Ronin, and he just goes to villages and just helps people out whenever they're in need of, like, you know, the bloodsuckers or whatever in the hell it may be the nightwalkers. And he's like, fine, I'll do what I can.

SPEAKER_01

But yeah, like and I know it's a trope, but we love the Japanese samurai thing. But uh, it would be cool if you put the timeline in there, like is like 16th century, 17th century. Yeah, like he's still a foreigner, like it's not he's not from Japan, and stuff like that.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, maybe not birth like in the feudal hundred feudal Japan, and there's like samurai stuff. Yeah, 100%.

SPEAKER_01

He's like even from Japan, because you do the historic context of like Portugal and England to Japan, people should be like he's like the the archdiocese of the church. And so they send them that. I'm already paying it, bro.

SPEAKER_00

Bro, I would that's good. That's good. I'll watch it.

Mortal Kombat High School Chaos

SPEAKER_00

Mortal Kombat during high school. During the where? High school. High school? High school. High school. Sorry, excuse me. Excuse me. Mortal Kombat. There's a tournament there for sure. Oh, tournament there, you know, but it's Katana, but then she has to go to the city.

SPEAKER_01

No, no, no. Mortal Kombat High School, yes, but it's flights of the line. The teacher stops it every time. Scorpio's a dude, and Sophio's a girl. So there's like a tension there, you know. Will they so old to him? But he's so good.

SPEAKER_00

She's a send the dude the whole time.

SPEAKER_01

You know, after all the fighting, he throws a lasso to her and he says, you know.

SPEAKER_00

And that would be flip hangers, we don't know if the kids are the manage.

SPEAKER_01

There's nothing to do. We can think about it that's awful. That's even worse.

SPEAKER_00

12 episodes. The curse of the 12 episodes. That'd be hilarious. Kung Lao's actually just wanting to be a cook the whole time. Like he doesn't want to be a martial artist.

SPEAKER_01

I got a little confused. Shao Kahn is a dean. There you go. Shao Kahn's a dean. No, it's like the arts and craft of church on the hang.

SPEAKER_00

Goro just wants to juggle.

SPEAKER_01

Hey, what's his name? Uh darn it, Johnny Cash. Johnny Cash. Johnny Cage. Johnny Cash, yeah. Johnny Cage. What is it? Johnny Cash? Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Bro. You first watched the movie not too long ago, bro. Tom Mortal Kombat screwed yesterday.

SPEAKER_01

The Ring of Fire. Mortal Kombat 2 was epic. The Ring of Fire.

SPEAKER_00

No, but anything could work, man. A lot of stuff could work as an anime. Well, Marvel had a whole thing. Remember that they got like an animated run of their stuff, too. So that's very thing that has a comic book could work as an anime. That's a thing. Yeah, that's easy. But just put them in high school. You put them in high school, that puts a whole new spin up. Oh, yeah. Like Suicide Squad, Isakai. That was great. Yes, the Isakai. Yeah, so it'd be cool to see more comic book heroes like put into like Isakai's. Different worlds? It's a nice idea for any idea, really. I think so. It's a cool mix when you put things in like that so they'll want to perspective. Rancher Reswell. That's the anime. I mean, I guess that would just be initial D. But Initial D was gold though, bro. Like, I don't I don't skip a bunch of car animes like that. Retro's work as an anime. Shrek as an anime? The Devil Wars Prada. That could be an anime. The Devil Wars Prada.

SPEAKER_01

Just watch that.

SPEAKER_00

She doesn't even go here. She doesn't even know. Bro, if they made it in a musical, it could work as an anime, you know what I'm saying? Well, school too, yeah. Hamilton as uh as an anime would be sick. Somebody's like really serious, but 100%. And they show like deaths. The wars? The war. The Civil War series. The American Revolution. The whole way through, all the way into his day. Founding fathers, but they're Japanese. I died and woke up as a founding father. Sorry, bro. I don't know what to say. It's good. But all serious, like that would be cool, man. I'm not gonna lie. Just like American history anime war style. That would be dope, man. The British? The 32,000 ships from New York Arbor, bro. That'd be wild.

SPEAKER_01

No, there's a lot of potential for sure. There's no franchise that I do like. I always thought it had like the capabilities as Warhammer.

Dream Studios And Animation Styles

SPEAKER_01

Oh. Always thought, yeah, especially like the whole lore behind it. Thomas did a little snip of it, remember? But don't get me wrong, the 3D thing is cool too, but I would not say animate. It's like pop-up budget, you know. Pop-up budget. Yeah, for sure. Because there's so much going on, chaos, war.

SPEAKER_00

I think like AOT levels like style. Like final, final seats, like the movie styles.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. But if you can put Ghibli, like I always push Ghibli style. Still for everything.

SPEAKER_00

40k Ghibli Studio. Mortal Kombat Adaptation. Yeah. Yeah. Studio Ghibli. What was the other one to say? Beverly Hills Cop. Which one? With uh brother, three Beverly Hills cops. Oh, yeah, yeah. Sorry, I planned for something. Oh, that sounds like I enjoyed it. No? No. Bro, Martial Artists would be so dope because he was like already kind of cool. I mean, I forgot his name. Dallas? Was it Dallas? I don't remember it was Dallas till now.

SPEAKER_01

So we talked about tournaments and you talk about 80s style movies gonna say in the 80s genre. There's one by Jacqueline Van Damme that we thought was be you know worthy of it. It's called Bloodsborne. Yeah. That one was always like worth your tournament. No, it's not right, no, it's right in the middle, it's my bright. You know? If you can really go like seasons, like one character each has his own like story.

SPEAKER_00

And then you got the overarched plot of the revenge of his brother, I think, or somebody like I killed. I forgot.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I got it because it's his 80s theme about the uh Rickman Sales cop.

SPEAKER_00

Bro, if you want to go 80s, the movie that Bruce Lee never got a chance to finish. Oh death No?

SPEAKER_01

Him with the yellow jumpsuit? That fights in Keep a Dwight Mark? Yes, yes, yes, yes. But I'm using I want to use the Kill Bill style. You know that scene Kill Bill with Jazz band? Yeah. Use that one all day.

SPEAKER_00

Yes. Well if if you haven't, since you haven't seen it, there's it's so bad, bro. Like, since Brucey died before the actual film was released, they have like a cutout picture of his face taped on the mirror, and like it's shot over, and that's like how a guy is supposed to be him in the film. It's it's there's really, really bad moments in it. But there's the bike scene specifically with the Kum of Jewel Jabbar and stuff like that were shot done. I've never seen it actually done by him. Yeah. So I'm like a whole theme, uh, a whole feature animated film with him just fighting through all the levels. Oh, filling the gaps.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Filling the gaps, you know, like the animated, animated, you know? Yes, 100%. Like I'm sick, dog. Potential for that movie. You know what I'm saying? I never got a chance to read it. I want Dust Till Dawn as well animated, but I want to set behind the scene in detail, you know. Rob is that. Like Rob is Studio Mappa for that one. No, I want the uh the Nemeslayer budget. No, Demon's.

SPEAKER_00

You want to get homeboy from Vinegar Solid because of his feet thing. Kochima Kochima hasn't y'all haven't seen the thing about feet with Kochima?

SPEAKER_01

I thought that was uh Quentin Tarantino. In addition to Quentin Tarantino, Kochima's not sorry, no, I'm gonna stop.

SPEAKER_00

What do I know? What do we know of feet and toes? Feet and toes.

SPEAKER_01

Animate that too. But yeah, feed and one. I'm cool with it in one thing.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, Robert's only wing more than that's what worked.

SPEAKER_01

That's why this still gone will work, trust. Any honorable mentions before we wrap it

Honorable Mentions Speed Round

SPEAKER_01

up? Honorable mentions.

SPEAKER_00

John Wink is an anime, pretty cool. But that's an easy one. John Wake. Y'all ever seen Con Air? Con Air, man? Nickel escape. But that's an anime? And like we get the backstory of every inmate? Oh, 12 episodes, everybody gets their terrible backstory. Like, how you figured out they ended up in the prison? And then we see the escape. See, the final boy? Sorry. That's Conair's C Rub, and then Connor's Santa. Oh, look, and then the way that's telling, it's like uh you start off on the plane, but then it goes back, and then everybody's story is all leading to getting onto the plane.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, then in that case?

SPEAKER_00

No, that's dope. And then after after six episodes, then everybody's got their backstory. We got all the main bad guys. Okay, now six episodes of like everything that transpires.

SPEAKER_01

I'm gonna go play scratch on. As soon as I hit the lottery, I'm gonna put all my money to Waterworld.

SPEAKER_00

And everybody. Oh, that was cool. That would have been cool. That's a good one. Waterworld, yeah. Waterworld. That wasn't like a surprising amount of lore. That's like an hour and thirty minutes.

SPEAKER_01

Like there's just so much there. A city under just more like.

SPEAKER_00

They really thought they were doing something. And then they were. I'm a fan of that movie, bro. I love that movie. Oh, Bioshock. Did you guys ever play Bioshock? Uh like And to be again? Yeah. Oh, that would be a good one, too. And the second one or whatever, they go into the sky or something like that.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, you animated right? But everything's still POV. Ooh, you know, everything's still POV. You know, just feel that, you know.

SPEAKER_00

Bro, when animes do that, when they give you that perspective from the main character of the villain, dude, it's it's so rarely used and such a cool technique that I think that would be so dope to the game like that. Like if they did that animated style, yeah. A hundred percent. And then the third one introduces like time travels or like alternate dimensions and shit. Oh, so time travel. Excellent. Like it's you know, time travel and phone boot for twelve. No, no, he's great, present. But it's a slice of light too, you know. Cassius be a slice of light. Super chill. Super chill, then they show up and they're like you know what I mean.

SPEAKER_01

Like in theory, the extra adventure, get in the phone booth and then boom. Yeah. I got insected.

SPEAKER_00

Bro, I got easy guide inside of a phone booth and ended up in our parents and Napoleon. Our phone boot like travels

Doctor Who As Long-Run Anime

SPEAKER_00

dimensions.

SPEAKER_01

Um Doctor Who will be upgrading the hall. So we're talking about they just stole that from Doctor Who.

SPEAKER_00

Wow.

SPEAKER_01

Doctor Who's the anime would be epic. No, yeah, for sure. Like, Doctor Who's freaking forty, bro. But Doctor Who would be a good one. I think especially the old lore. Like, yeah, you can appreciate the 60s, the 50s, the 70s one. But I feel like there's some more right there.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, 100%. Bro, there were nine seasons that we don't even count in Doctor Who. That's just all great build-up stories, and then we got the modern version, like 2000, 2005 or something like that. But it was awesome, man. For me, I think that would be great. So many stories.

SPEAKER_01

So many times, like battle lore, they didn't adventure meetup, but all the who is meetup.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, they have a good one, bro, where like the the the great war. So you haven't gotten there in Doctor Who, but there's a moment where he has to like kill all of his enemies, but he's not just killing them, he's wiping out like every version of them in every existence, in every universe. So he's committed mass genocide to a specific group. And it's like, well, I'm doing this to prevent wars and people from dying and civilizations from being enslaved. But like in the anime, it still has to press the button. His wild star, we got him started on Doctor Who.

SPEAKER_01

It's a good one. Go on, I'll pick an anime.

SPEAKER_00

Sorry, I'm excited about it. Perfect. No, I'm good, I'll good. I love it. Like, oh, dude, and the companions? The companions are still you can do like different regions. Like you say, different, it would work. It would work. Yeah, that'll be like a 25-minute episode anime. Easy, bro. They're 45 minutes in the show, you know what I'm saying? So they could do 25 easy. 25 episodes. We'll give that one 25 episodes. Yes. With special Christmas episodes every year. Oh, anybody have any guitar confrontations for honorable mentions out of curiosity? No. Five club!

SPEAKER_01

Five club others.

Fight Club With Perspective Episodes

SPEAKER_00

Like every episode is a different perspective. Oh, I think. And the next episode is like Rapid's character. Yeah, Tyler Dirk's character. Yeah. And then uh we don't see the other character in the whole episode. That's like why. Dude, if nobody saw that. Well, I mean, we know we know why. Yeah, but if nobody saw that movie, like that Pogreville, bro, it'd be so mind-blowing for somebody to be like, what do you mean they're the same person?

SPEAKER_01

Tyler Dirk, Tyler Dirk! I don't get it.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, what's my name? Tyler Dirk? Yeah, what's my name would be so sick, bro. That would be so cool in the anime. That was a great. Like, you know, in Japan they all got their office jobs. Yeah, so you see what? Yeah. My homeboy's bleeding. He's pulled out a tooth. He's like, I think it's molar. That would be nuts, man. Like, yeah, just the crazy work schedule of like you never know if you're dreaming of your big. Oh, they drink. Yeah. Yeah, like dog, and that's just how it starts. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. But that would be like he goes, he goes after work to leave to drink or whatever, and he says that that's where that's where he meets. And that's when the episode ends. And then we see we see the other perspective.

SPEAKER_02

Tyler.

SPEAKER_00

He's like, dude, this guy's the best. Anyway. And he takes off at the owner benchers. Dog, that'd be so cool. That would have been dope. That's a great reference, though. That's a good cut. That was a good one. Damn, that was a good one. They have the line, you know. We don't talk about a five colour boo. Well, that one should get so I was ready to go into it too.

SPEAKER_01

It doesn't even fight. They use the katana sticks, like no armor. Just everything just each other with two.

SPEAKER_00

No, actually, that is an interesting twist. And they're like, lose your katana, straight fish. Straight fish, yeah. Just run the ones, bro. Run the ones.

SPEAKER_01

Like they ran it back in the day. They're reminiscing of their old days. Like this is our grandparents used to do it back in the day. Oh, the original, like Japan? That makes sense. Fight club, yeah.

SPEAKER_00

They're releasing the lies, and they're like, alright. One guy was like, well, I don't want to kill you. I don't know, bro. It'd be cool. Tyler Dirt, Tyler Dirt, Tyler Dirt. Oh, but then you see cameos the whole time. Like it's there with little Easter eggs the whole time. Dude, like cool.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Fight Club being very one. Fight Club's awesome. I'm gonna watch it tonight now.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

Horror Comedy Picks And Deep Cuts

Avatar, bro. Avatar bender. Oh, the blue people. The last air bender putting that as an actual anime. Well, the last arbender is pretty much his, bro.

SPEAKER_01

Every time Jason wakes up and comes back as a blue guy. Technically, it is a thick guy.

SPEAKER_00

That's right. That's good. I would start firing water at the easy guy. It is. But the blue people though. Now the blue people as an anime would be sick. That the whole planet's explorer? Oh, regions and like the smurfs? They are the smart. They are the smurfs. Uh what about some horror stuff? What about like Freddie versus Jason, but anime? Ooh. Freddie versus Jason anime. Mike fires. Not nothing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because I feel like, again, he doesn't say a single word. Neither does Jason. Freddie gets the most lines at anybody, and they're the funniest shit ever. Yeah, he does. That would be funny, then I guess to see a Freddie. Or a leprechaun. Give me a leprechaun anime. Oh. Leprechaun? Leprechaun in the hood anime.

SPEAKER_01

That was a real one, bro.

SPEAKER_00

I'll just call it that leprechaun. That would be something. Ernest! Ernest Ernest obviously? Bro, give me everybody in every single one. Ernest. Ernest Mexican. Somewhere different, bro.

SPEAKER_01

I love Street Sharks. Right after uh the turtle, Street Shark was also.

SPEAKER_00

They had a crossover episode. But that would be sick. Modern day animation style with sharks. I think it would be dope. Make them uh get me somewhere else. But again, demon slayer budget, you know? Gargoyles. What animated? Gargoyles with an animated piece. Oh sick. Modern day Mapa?

SPEAKER_01

But it's not a castle, it's like those the castle in Osaka in some building.

SPEAKER_00

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Mr. Bean!

SPEAKER_00

Mr. Bean.

SPEAKER_01

Stop easy. Oh. Okay, please stop.

SPEAKER_00

Isn't it earlier, Mike Miners? Austin Powers. Austin Powers as an anime would be hilarious. Hilarious. Give me all three. You know, in the movie, he he's trying to stop like these big things. But in the anime, he's just going on like little missions. Little random missions. So he's like a friendly neighborhood, Austin Powers? Yeah.

SPEAKER_01
