"Jack is a better anime analyst than us" Well, of course. That is what happen when you actually watch anime

This is like interviewing a super star or idol and realizing they're super knowledgable on subjects outside of their field.

Gojo being more marketable than Kakashi is INSANE to me. It is easy to forget the vice grip that Kakashi had on the culture in the early 2000s. He was _everywhere_

"jjk is so by the book" jjk seasons 2,3,4: *MANIACAL LAUGHTER*

Crazy how Miura's best friend is the one that took up the mantle to continue berserk... I love that so much

Of course he is. Joey doesn’t watch anime, Connor only watches JoJo and Garnt watches Fate and hentai

Jack has gotten baited in by the fake simplicity of the earliest parts of jjk’s story, and I absolutely love it.

the amount times they said "yeah, yeah" or "right, right" while sean was talking is incredible

Jacksepticeye Says he's a normie but in reality he's better at reviewing it than most people

Jack surprised me with how he gets to the point and waist no time breaking down if something is good or bad

A better analyst than Trash Taste?! By God, that bar must be inches off the ground!

I love how honest Jack is and how (from what I've seen) no one is attacking him over his opinion.

So, not sure how many people know about Miura and Mori's relationship, but it was something that gave inspiration to Guts and Griffith, to the point that their dialogue has been taken and used in the manga. So as much as people tend to dislike the idea of a series to continue once the creator is dead, this shit is different, because the one who is continuing it is not only someone close to the creator, but was the inspiration of the story itself. So, Here's hoping that it keeps going!

I love how honest Jack is

A friend once described it as ''If MHA is the McDonalds of shonen, then JJK is Chick-fil-A'' and as someone who loves both shows, I'm inclined to agree

What I loved is when itadori put up a Jennifer Lawrence poster and when Todo asked him what his kind of woman is he's like... " someone like Jennifer Lawrence" and Todo is like ... 😭 " BEST FRIEND!" 🤣

He is such a ray of joy that seeing him in the thumbnail alone makes me smile.

"Mappa is better than this," I agree, but I doubt it's Mappa's fault. They were probably rushed.

Sean's point about Jujutsu Kaisen is EXACTLY what I tell my friends who have watched it and not Naruto or vise versa in order to make them realize they can enjoy both. Since Naruto is my favorite anime on it's own category due to the nostalgia,

Sean was such a lovely conversationalist during this segment. Really enjoyable to watch.

I feel like FMAB is considered "the best ever" by so many people not because it's actually the most mind-blowing anime ever made in the history of mankind but because it's pretty good under almost every aspect and that alone is good enough for the majority of people. Like, it has good openings, good animation, it doesn't needlessly drag out the story, doesn't really have any filler, most of the side characters are relevant to the overarching plot, has some funny moments, has a bunch of cool fights, it delves into more mature themes than the standard cookie-cutter shounen and it even has a pretty good english dub Yeah you can find another anime that has better animation or better music or more interesting and complex characters, but an anime that has "better everything" than FMAB? Yeah that's a bit harder to find

Jacksepticeye might be Trash Taste's biggest guest yet. Pewdiepie: "Oh just you wait guys. Just you wait."

It's interesting to see anime onlys opinions on JJK and how much they vastly differ from the manga community. It's praised because of how it diversifies itself from other shonen, yet none of that is really showcased until about 60 chapters in, so anime onlys have no idea. Anime onlys will be shocked by how incredible the rest of the series is.

FMAB is so fucking grounded and real. The world and its people feel like actual people. They arent just tropes, the premise isnt outlandish, the power system is simple and well-defined, and the world feels realistic. You can show Full Metal to anyone and they'd probably like it because its just so relatable and grounded. I showed my DAD, a boomer ass mf in his 50s who doesnt know shit about anime, FMAB and he fucking LOVED IT. He loved it so much he bought one of the openings on his itunes and actively binged the show on his own.

"Jackskeptic eye is a better anime analyst than us" not a feat

I don’t come here for anime, but whenever they talk about it it’s like a little dessert

Jjk is AMAZING. I love, like, every character in that show/ manga

FMA is my favorite because the story is overwhelmingly good. If I had to tell someone what FMA is about its basically the story of how people lost everything, went on a journey to find it, and at the end they realized they had what they were looking for the entire time. The show has a lot of subtle points about self reflection and fighting against your inner self to grow as a person--which is why the portal to truth room is a reflection of the person who enters. If you pay close attention, you'll notice that the people who enter the portal of truth and who gain the infinite knowledge of alchemy are often the ones who continue to hurt and suffer. It's an interesting point because despite having all the knowledge of alchemy at your finger tips you still can't stop the suffering. And that's a big point of the show and why Ed's relinquishing of alchemy was a really powerful moment. He had all the power and he gave it up so he could accept himself and his circumstances and move on with his life: which is something all the other characters, such as Teacher, were unable to do. It's overall a very good story that people should be exposed to because everyone is going to go through very difficult things in life. But if you're able to accept that those difficult things happened and you appreciate what you currently have then you're able to move forward and grow as a person--which is just one of the many powerful themes that FMA explores.

Unironically Jack articulates his anime opinions way better than I expected this shit's great

2:33 "Gojo is the younger, sexier Kakashi" The funny thing is, Gojo is actually older than Kakashi. The latter acts more mature, but he's only 26. Gojo is 28 😂😂😂 Edit: Oh my god, you guys. I KNOW Kakashi gets older as the show goes on. I'm talking about the beginning of their respective shows. Why the hell would I cherry-pick their ages? Jeez...

If anyone enjoys Beserk I would happily suggest you read Vagabond too. It's a very beautiful manga and would recommend it to anyone that enjoys Beserks art style.

I guess they didn't expect Jack to go full on "Reviewer Mode" like he does when playing games. Love this episode :D

I was definitely in the same boat with FMAB - it may not be the best in terms of the individual aspects of what an anime is built off of, but it's so consistently good in every aspect that it feels like a truly complete story. There's no drop in quality anywhere and it tells its story cleanly from start to finish which is hard to do. Also all the characters are fully fleshed out and have real emotion and motivations that make sense for their personality.

I mean Mappa had to make AOT s4 in 9 months which is a joke. For that short period of time you can't have much better animation. The animators did their best. They had much more time for Jujutsu Kaisen.

I personally think that everyone can see it the way they want but as of right now having “someone” to continue, to carry on the massive amount of work done by Miura so that we all could see the finale the way Miura intended it it’s just the best thing for the manga and for all the work he has done, for everything he put into making without any doubt the best manga of all times. And as for that “someone” who is in fact K. Mori, who was there by Miura’s side when he planned the eclipse, who was his best friend since art school, who was like a brother to him, the only one he talked with about Berserk from start to finish it’s by far the best we could hope for along with the collaboration with Gaga studio, Miura’s “disciples” who worked with him and helped him getting through till it’s final days. Obviously we all have to keep in mind that it’s inevitable that the vision and the format we will get of the manga it’s not gonna correspond 100% to the unique style Miura had, having that in mind to me it’s so much disrespectful not to continue reading Berserk only because the direction HAD to change due to the obvious, so yeah it may not be 100% true to Miura style but I think that if he gave this enormous responsibility to the one he could trust the most so that everybody could see the end of his work just like the way he wanted, who are we to “disobey” the last will of the person who gave us that much? So I personally think that by continuing reading Berserk through the end it’s the best way of honoring and thanking him for what he gave us.

I love how much jack is going into detail about comparing and contrasting different anime's! I'd love to see him talk about gurren lagann!

if all anime/manga discussions were like this one I would engage a lot more in otaku communities

I think what makes FMA such a great series is the attention to world-building, the boundaries and limitations set in place by the the alchemy system, and even the care given to depicting characters who are physically disabled. It really makes it easy to connect with the characters and the happenings within their world. When it addresses serious topics, it does so with great sensitivity, and as I write this can still think of plenty of scenes that will stick with me for a long time.

Weird I knew Jack when he was a Gamespot user back in the day before he hit it big on youtube, he never once mentioned anything about anime. Glad he gave anime a shot.

Brandon Sanderson finished Jordan's Wheel of Time and did so masterfully. So there will always be hope that some day someone might be able to finish Berserk. Although in the case of Jordan and Brandon, it was Jordan's wife who made the decision, based on what Jordan himself wanted. He wanted someone to finish the series after his death iirc, and had a list of authors in place. I think. And ofc all the unfinished material he had created. Been a while since I listened to the podcast where Brandon explained it, so might not be remembering all correctly.

Jujutsu Kaisens' plot gets pretty crazy and complicated in the next few arcs. I can't wait for people to see the flashback arc.

They must be so hype that Berserk is back. Miura’s best friend is taking it over and showing us the ending Miura wanted us to see with his assistants taking up the artwork. I think this is the best we could’ve gotten

All i can say is just you wait for the season 2 of jjk and you'll see what Gege truly been cooking🔥 it's just getting better and better

Idk why, I love Mahito so much, and I have no clue as to why, just like the goofiness and the chaos but with the overall psychotic nature and awesome powers

Fully agree with Sean, Jujutsu Kaisen isn't mid. The story is just okay. But the show is self aware of that. The anime gets straight to the point; the fights are dope as shit, and that's all that matters. Edit: Now that it has been 10 months, and I got myself acclimated to the story (not the anime)..... it's pretty hype ngl. Edit 2: Not going to get rid of the comment, but story freaking amazing ngl 😂. Story, characters, fights, art... Just crazy. I love it as much as Chainsawman. The early parts are pretty simple, it gets straight to the point. Then there's the second half, like bruh, what is Kenjaku cooking

now gigguk has someone to talk about FMA with

im currently watching FMAB for the first time and i understand why its at the top of every anime ranking list. Na its not my favorite thing ive watched but its just overall really good in every single aspect. Story, music, animation, characters, action, it just does it all.

Sean was the reason I got into aot back in 2015 it was my first anime, and today it’s still my favorite anime 😭

3:33 and Jack cracked the code lmao. I can’t believe it never even occurred to me that Naruto could use it’s own version of Kai to get to the god damn point. Cuz he is totally right, even cutting out the filler Naruto feels like a drag to watch. It’s too long. But a Naruto Kai? That would, in theory at least, be perfect. More anime could use a Kai version honestly

I'm really happy the trash taste boys, are giving small creators like jack, the attention he needs :)

FMA: Brotherhood has a really glaring plot-hole with the way the "Truth" works (by it's own description), but it was still fairly good. Granted I don't put it on a pedestal because I grew up exposed to a bunch of anime. So, for my top list it has stuff from all over the 80s, 90s, and 2000s, and if I include movies FMA:B or FMA don't breech my top ten, but B is in the top 20 and FMA is in the top 30.

thankyou trash taste, i used to be anime only fans and now i'm also manga reader, you guys literally makes me falling deep into manga

Man, he's so wholesome. I'm not big into his let's plays but man do I enjoy how down-to-earth he is.

FMA has this something extra that makes you feel like the main characters are actually human. You can immediately suspend your disbelief and engage with their struggles.

It's so awesome to see this legend be on the podcast

I totally agree with what they're saying. I love a lot of older shows, but going back and watching them now after experiencing well-paced, well-animated modern anime is rough. Like, if JJK's episode next week came out and dedicated two and a half minutes to a shot-reverse-shot of two people glaring at each other across a battlefield while slow, drawn-out tension music played in the background, there would be riots.

I agree with Jack about the quality of AoT compared to JJK talking about the animation quality. I mean idk what they could have done besides pushing back other shows and their movie and have more animators work on AoT

Jujutsu kaisen’s overall story might not be that amazing because we’ve only scratched the surface, but man the middle episodes with itadori, mahito, nanami and that kid are incredible whether in terms of fights or even the story and dialogue

there are soooooo many 12-24 episode animes out there that are absolute fkin master pieces, some of which I have re-watched a few times and still was glued to the screen. Most of what they talked about was the mainstream really heavily marketed stuff, which are still good, but still missing out on loads. At least they mentioned berserk which is fkin awesome.

I think the reason that FMAB sucks you in is the worldbuilding. The best magic system ever made with a convincing world and strong dynamics between the characters

I feel that. It's so lame when you know about "obscure" stuff or hidden gems but all you can talk about is the popular series that you may feel lukewarm about. And people don't take those recommendations seriously enough cause the former aren't really discussed often

I feel like Sean really fits so well with the rest of the boys. I want more content of all of them.

I started watching Naruto for the first time last year too, I made it to Naruto Shippuden episode 452 day before yesterday, still working on it, I decided to watch every episode. I love the show! Naruto and Sasuke dynamic does get confusing, and Sasukes reasoning can get strange, but when it hits it hits hard, like the Pain Arc, and for the original, The Land of Waves arc, Chunin Exam, and Sasuke Retrieval arc.

In my opinion, I think the pacing of demon slayer is fine. I personally am not a big fan of just rushing into fight scenes, because I want something relevant to the storyline as well. I also want to get more attached to the characters, ofc you can do that during the fight scenes as well but you need to do it out of stuff like that too. For demon slayer I actually feel like they have a good mix of 'resting' episodes, you know characters chill, learn about each other, learn about different things relevant to the storyline but it does not go on for too long, where it gets boring.

Jack: "Naruto is way to long" Oda: "hold my Sake"

I could watch all four of you talk about anime all day. So happy to see Sean on here!

I like they are talking about this before second season cuz from my opinion the battles in second season would be on a whole different realm in comparison to first season

I dont watch or particularly enjoy anime but i like these guys and listening to them talk about anime

I genuinely think, as someone who loves Naruto, that you should play the Ninja Storm games if you want the story. It’s quick, you could play it all over a couple days, and CC2 does such an amazing job with their cutscenes that it is just as good as the anime if not better in some places

I totally agree that Fullmetal alchemist is an engaging story. Had a friend in high school who was not into anything anime related at all but had somehow watched Fullmetal and said it was amazing.

As much as i love succinct stories, i can't help but remember dragon ball Z and the funny filler episodes that ill go back and watch to this day. Goku and Piccolo trying to learn how to drive will never stop being hysterical.

Okay Jacksepticeye- you've earned my respect

Even if Berserk does come back a least we have Kentaro’s friend who he’s known since college he’ll be the one to continue the series and he’s also a very talented mangaka I unfortunately forgot his name cause I’m a dumb ass but there’s still hope for Berserk and it will hopefully get a satisfying conclusion.

Title is not tongue in cheek, Jack's got good taste. Even his take on Berserk seems reasonable, I don't really understand the pessimist who don't want anything to do with more Berserk, Miura probably wanted/wants the story finished most of all. I guess if Joey is right and there was nothing really left behind in a literal sense, who cares? If you've ever earnestly tried to write a story you probably agree that inspiration comes from real life and the people that worked with him making Berserk surely have had some sort of influence on their collective work. To answer Garnt and his question of who would want to take on finishing Berserk; his friends, work associates, and people who shared the making of his dream would want to finish their collaborative masterpiece in his honor and memory. At least that's how I envision I might feel if I knew him personally. If feels like a horrible shame for such a prolific story to not get a bookend.

In the continuity of the art after the creator have left depends on the fanbase or story imo, because I like fan made ending of doraemon maybe because the shows is mostly the daily lives of Nobita and Doraemon without any ending in sight at that time I think, maybe that's why it works well with me.

I dunno man. As a 35 year old who completely skipped anime (except some big classics like Akira, GitS, Ninja Scroll etc) until a couple years ago, I fucking LOVED Naruto. I skipped almost nothing until I was nearly done with shippuden and of the couple hundred shows I've watched since I stated with anime, it is absolutely my benchmark for shonen.

I wonder how many people realised that Jack basically said JJK is mid but the fight scenes are hype.

Have we reached that point now? Where there are normie anime fans? I've never seen those words together in a sentence like that. Also, you know Jack is one of us when he not only because he casually name drops an anime studio, but because he uses "Kai" and "Brotherhood" like verbs.

The statement about FMAB being legendary status is so true. Even my math teacher in 10th-12th recommended the anime to my whole class every year.

jjk manga after season 1 is chefs kiss can’t wait for Shibuya arc

Number 1 thing that's godlike about FML is the characters.... The characters are so well written you quickly get attached to them and their relationships.... I mean Mustang and Hawkeye's relationship is just the cutest shit I turn into a bitch just when i think about those two... And they're so cool too.... The vilains are awesome completely fleshed out characters... It does such a good job of humanising them... That show really does everything perfectly except for having an unremarkable artstyle

Jujutsu Kaisen has an insane amount of buildup, so its crazy to me that people saw it only as a pure action show. I guess the other shoe hasn't dropped yet, so nobody has realized it was buildup. A lot of minds are going to be blowned when season 2 comes out.

"It insists upon itself"

It’s cool when they talk in depth about anime not just recent events I enjoyed this clip

Jack saying JJK lacks the heart of Naruto is a point I agree with but have never really been able to put into words. Like I'm caught up to the manga and while I do think it's very well written at points I've come to realize I don't really care or have a real connection to most of the characters and I feel like Gege will kill them off before I really can. With Naruto while a lot of the side characters did get the short end of the stick I at least feel there was a good chunk of them that I felt an attachment to though

I think another contributing factor to FMA Brotherhood 's lack of haters, is the fact that it's came out in pre/very early social media. (Changed - "internet" to "social media")

They did continue the manga of berserk and im really happy they did, they ve done a done a great job so far

I loved Jujutsu Kaisen! Maybe I'm biased because I crave violence but Mappa seems to nail action in a way no other media ever has for me

Damn. This makes me love more Jack by just knowing how good his analysis in anime are.

Not trynna be THAT guy, but Jujutsu Kaisen takes almost a complete 180 degree turn and it is FUCKING AMAZING

7:50 Can't wait for Chainsaw man to get in and show the world what "fucked up shit" truly means.

the guy who is taking the reins of berserk is miuras closest friend and the one who has helped with berserk the most and with some of the inspiration, Mori sensei

Jack's piercings are so cool

"There's no Toudou in Naruto" Might Guy: 👨‍🦽

I started watching Naruto last year for the first time and it was AMAZING. I started skipping fillers after ep 67 but it is such an amazing thing to watch and now to read everything about it. I would recommend it to everyone.

Berserk Joey:"You can somewhat predict" Mori: you have no idea 😂😂

people tend to forget that even the ofiginal FMA was pretty big and well regarded back then

There was a really old fan project called Naruto Shippucut, that was painstakingly going through episodes and cutting out long sections of character panning, and stuff like that, then fixing the background music to sync up again. They would get like 4-5 episodes cut down into a 40 minute video. They never finished it, and it's basically lost to time as far as I'm aware. But maybe you can find something on it

The dude called us obscure 💀

It’s underrated if anything and more so for adults. A lot of anime the older I get the more I’m just like “ugh man wtf am I watching right now..”
