[00:00:37] Be sure to join the discussion in our Discord and submit your six word summary.

[00:00:40] Finally, to the Discord in our episode description on our website Shonen Flop.com.

[00:00:43] But we are not here to talk about that today. This week, we are talking about killing me and we are joined by the wonderful Voidberger, aka Jess.

[00:00:51] Oh my God.

[00:00:53] Hiya.

[00:00:54] Yo, what's up?

[00:00:56] What's up? It is earlier than usual than I talk about bad anime, but that's okay.

[00:01:02] That's usually save that for more of a 1130 kind of situation, so we appreciate getting up a little early.

[00:01:07] Yeah.

[00:01:08] Rise and shine. Talk about the bad anime. But yeah, I'm Jess O'Brien. You might know me from SkullTenders, which is a new-ish.

[00:01:15] I don't know. It's getting on in age soon, maybe. D&D actual play podcast that is like super edited. Too much by me.

[00:01:21] And I also, I'm on Twitch. I'm on YouTube, all that stuff. I was on Giant Bomb for a spell. And that's me.

[00:01:26] They might also know you from your Nightmare Before Christmas Let's Play.

[00:01:30] I've done a bunch of random Let's Plays, yes. I know a little too much about Nightmare Before Christmas.

[00:01:35] Oh gosh.

[00:01:36] We've had a bunch of vintage Let's Players on We've Had What? Chipchizza, Ironicus, or Crantz.

[00:01:41] Sorry, I think he doesn't like using that name anymore. And then, ah, Jordan, there's one more. Who was it?

[00:01:46] Slowbeef? Yeah, never heard of that.

[00:01:48] There you go. That was gonna be like, slowbeef, right?

[00:01:51] I think you might have heard of Chipchism. I don't know.

[00:01:54] I might have married him, yes.

[00:01:56] Whoa, sorry. What? Yeah, damn, he's off the market.

[00:02:00] I know, sorry, sorry everybody. Got him. Grabbed him. Bagged him.

[00:02:04] I think this is the first married couple we've had on the podcast.

[00:02:08] Married people don't read manga. They got adult stuff to do, like, taxes.

[00:02:13] Oh god. Oh god, he made taxes. Shit.

[00:02:16] There's only one who did their taxes as soon as they're available, because that's how you get your...

[00:02:19] This means you get your money back sooner. You're the only one here who went to business school, David.

[00:02:24] Wait, wait, wait. You get money back from taxes?

[00:02:27] Oh yeah. What? What? Yeah.

[00:02:31] No, not to brag, but I got a check for $11 from the IRS this year.

[00:02:35] What? That's a fortune! That's 11 burgers off the dollar menu!

[00:02:39] Oh, that's not a thing anymore. McDonald's is way too expensive for my blood.

[00:02:43] Yeah. But Jess, we are so excited.

[00:02:46] And also Jordan, I think this is a very special episode.

[00:02:49] Because what is it? This is killing me.

[00:02:52] Jordan's episode 100. Oh my god! Yeah, what?

[00:02:55] Episode 100? I'm on episode 100. Yes!

[00:03:00] Do you want any soundboard noises for victory purposes? Okay.

[00:03:04] Sure. What you got?

[00:03:06] Woo! Yeah!

[00:03:08] Our editor loves inserting that shit too, so he's a son of a bitch.

[00:03:11] I had a lot of really stupid ones, though.

[00:03:14] And I hit the wrong ones all the time, so you're lucky it actually was the one I intended to use.

[00:03:19] What's your favorite one? I have to know.

[00:03:21] Let's see. Is it? I really wish I had one of those ones that had labels on it.

[00:03:26] It's just a mystery. Let's see if it's this...

[00:03:29] It's gonna start reading off Jess' social security number.

[00:03:32] Let's see if it's this one. If it's not, I'll tell the editor.

[00:03:36] I love it!

[00:03:38] That was it. Yes! Yeah!

[00:03:40] That was it! I did it! I love it. Hell yeah.

[00:03:43] It's like a fucking audio hyper fixation of mine is I love eggs.

[00:03:47] Oh, there's also squeepoo. I don't know if squeepoo is on here.

[00:03:51] I got them both right. Three fucking soundboard things right. This is a lucky day.

[00:03:56] You are a pro in your craft if I've ever seen it. I'm on fire.

[00:04:00] I gotta say I watched the stream that you and Josh did of Final Fantasy 7.

[00:04:06] By the way, listener Josh is Chip Cheesem.

[00:04:09] I was about to say who the fuck is Josh.

[00:04:11] Yeah, he joins just on first name basis with Chip Cheesem. He's that cool.

[00:04:15] I assume Jess actually is though. I hope so!

[00:04:18] I sometimes call him Chip. I sometimes call him Chip.

[00:04:21] My parents sometimes call him Chip. Oh my god.

[00:04:24] Oh my god. He's been Chip for so long. Yeah.

[00:04:26] I remember the greatest audio sting ever was when Severoth stabbed Aerith.

[00:04:33] Oh, spoilers for Final Fantasy 7 by the way.

[00:04:36] And then just the Crash Bandicoot sound played that exact moment.

[00:04:42] Someone in my chat had like was from the future and knew exactly who hit play on that soundbite

[00:04:49] so that it synced up and it was like literally a pixel perfect.

[00:04:53] The instant the sword went through her body, it happened.

[00:04:56] I feel like Chip was really mad about that.

[00:04:58] He was so mad.

[00:04:59] Because then immediately after they played, I have a really long soundbite.

[00:05:06] You can play that. It's the song from Total Distortion when you die.

[00:05:09] It's just this big you are dead song and it's like three minutes long.

[00:05:13] Just like oh fuck.

[00:05:15] I think let's move on though. One last comment is have you two seen the

[00:05:18] Windmill Kids video where it was like this British, this like clip from a British

[00:05:22] television show for kids that went viral for some reason? No.

[00:05:25] Can you describe it?

[00:05:27] And it's like this really cheesy and there's a part where they're like all dancing

[00:05:31] at super campy and they all go woo.

[00:05:33] And I was showing it to Rachel and I'd seen it so many times.

[00:05:35] I said woo exactly when they did and she just turns and looks at me

[00:05:38] and she's like why did you know exactly when they were going to say that in this video?

[00:05:41] Because I've seen it a bunch.

[00:05:42] Yeah. She was just like you've memorized the timing of this really stupid video.

[00:05:46] That's not hard to do.

[00:05:48] It's actually because David was one of the kids in that clip.

[00:05:51] Yeah, I was actually yes. I was born in 1965. You got that.

[00:05:55] It's not it's not hard to do.

[00:05:57] I don't know. I memorize things that sound like stuff all the time.

[00:06:00] Can I memorize all of Nightmare Before Christmas?

[00:06:02] For example, that's why I know too much about Nightmare Before Christmas.

[00:06:04] I just know it off the top of my head all the fucking way through and still do.

[00:06:10] Oh man, but unfortunately as much as I'd love to talk about the Nightmare Before Christmas,

[00:06:14] we do have to talk about this manga. So why don't we migrate into that?

[00:06:17] All right, so let's get into the manga details.

[00:06:19] This is Killing Me. It was written by Enma Akayama.

[00:06:23] Notable people they had as assistants was Hikari Komaru who was actually an adult comic artist.

[00:06:29] That's not surprising.

[00:06:31] Yeah, I was going to say why doesn't that shock me?

[00:06:33] That's fine.

[00:06:34] Yeah, but live your best life.

[00:06:37] But Emma's other works include Killer in Love from 2020-2022.

[00:06:42] Five volumes in manga one that has won all capitals.

[00:06:46] A chance connection made between college students escalates into murder, violence and intimidation.

[00:06:53] How far will a man sink for love?

[00:06:58] Thank you, Maxi B.

[00:06:59] Another work of his is Noah is my senior and my friend.

[00:07:04] Starting in 2023 still going.

[00:07:07] Two plus volumes in Weekly Young Jump.

[00:07:10] This is about an exceptionally normal guy.

[00:07:13] Rihito, now let me tell you isn't normal just a setting on the washing machine.

[00:07:18] Forms a close friendship with a senior at his game company.

[00:07:22] Oh, the Buxom Human Trainwreck Noah who maintains a cool appearance at work

[00:07:30] but is in reality a huge dweeb prone to embarrassment and tears.

[00:07:34] I know what that's like.

[00:07:35] A very cute and funny series personally recommended to all listeners by Maxi B.

[00:07:42] Our comic historian Jess.

[00:07:45] It sounds like Akiyama got better at this?

[00:07:48] Perhaps.

[00:07:50] This has happened a few times where we've read offers that created like not great series

[00:07:54] and then knock it out of the park.

[00:07:55] Like a big one is Amalgam distortion was not very good

[00:07:58] and this current series Dragon and Chameleon is like legitimately one of my favorite things I'm reading right now

[00:08:02] where I'm like the artist way better the plot is way better.

[00:08:04] I'm just like how did the same person make both of these?

[00:08:07] Yeah, or you know it's simple to love his war.

[00:08:10] This big one.

[00:08:12] Probably a much better example.

[00:08:14] But yeah, Killing Me ran in Comic Cune.

[00:08:17] It is a Saiyan manga mostly known for 4-Koma.

[00:08:22] I don't know what that means.

[00:08:24] Those are those four panel gag comics.

[00:08:26] That makes sense.

[00:08:27] Like Pop Team Epic, yeah.

[00:08:29] So the name is for 4-Koma and a good bit of Yuri.

[00:08:32] What?

[00:08:33] This ran from September 27, 2017 to May 26, 2018.

[00:08:38] The series it replaced was Choco Basket by Asu Komashiro

[00:08:43] and the series that replaced it was Shouan to Hibi by Asa Kawayoshi

[00:08:48] which was not a planned replacement just a coincidence of timing, okay?

[00:08:52] Series that started at the same time as it, well one month before as Maxi B says

[00:08:58] was Bento Yabayo Minase-san by Dark.

[00:09:03] Just named Dark.

[00:09:04] Dark.

[00:09:05] Edgy.

[00:09:06] If he teamed up with one they would have a very ominous team name.

[00:09:10] The Dark One.

[00:09:11] Yeah.

[00:09:12] Oh my God.

[00:09:13] Then make a 4-Koma gag comic.

[00:09:15] I would absolutely read a 4-Koma gag comic by one.

[00:09:19] He'd probably call it four.

[00:09:20] Oh Jesus.

[00:09:22] Another series was Godchans by Yukihiro and It's Huff Being Niko by Alde Hyde.

[00:09:30] Mr. Hyde wrote that.

[00:09:32] But this series killing me read for 10 chapters only got one volume.

[00:09:37] Boo-boo.

[00:09:38] Oh yes, arguably 10 chapters, arguably one volume.

[00:09:42] Yeah.

[00:09:43] But let's get into the fucking Platte Summary for killing me because it's killing me.

[00:09:50] Such a long manga with such a plot.

[00:09:53] This manga, if I would describe it as one thing, certainly it has a plot.

[00:09:59] It was the one piece of our generation.

[00:10:01] Yes.

[00:10:02] Vampire, lesbian, one piece.

[00:10:05] Oh that'd be good.

[00:10:06] Uh, Saki is your average vampire hunter schoolgirl, of course, whose classmate Miyoko is in love with her.

[00:10:13] Just one problem though.

[00:10:14] Miyoko is a vampire!

[00:10:17] Oh no!

[00:10:19] Get out.

[00:10:20] What?!

[00:10:21] Saki and Miyoko regularly fight with Saki using her special vampire fighting weapon, a gun,

[00:10:28] to fail to hit her while Miyoko just drinks Saki's blood.

[00:10:33] Saki catches Miyoko trying to suck the blood from another girl and gets insanely jealous, tearing her away popcorn, David.

[00:10:42] Miyoko says some creepy shit about how she only likes young girls and Saki will eventually stop having tasty blood.

[00:10:48] Saki gets mad at her for being selfish, which like, yeah I guess that's one thing wrong with it.

[00:10:53] I guess!

[00:10:54] Yeah, Saki has convinced her inability to kill Miyoko is because she's being controlled by the vampire, I guess she doesn't know about hormones.

[00:11:01] Miyoko however says she doesn't have that power.

[00:11:04] She's apparently too young to have mind control abilities.

[00:11:07] Damn, I wonder what it is then?

[00:11:09] A vampire hunter named Chiharu, which knows Saki, shows up to kill Miyoko and is horrified and confused when Saki saves her popcorn jess.

[00:11:16] Oh, she then attacks them at school attempting to stab Miyoko but Saki steps in front of her and blocks the knife with her forearm.

[00:11:23] She tells Chiharu that Miyoko is her prey and only she gets to kill her.

[00:11:28] And Miyoko kisses Saki and tells her that she hopes she keeps trying to kill her for a long time.

[00:11:33] And then in some extra stories, Saki bites Miyoko's neck which makes her blush and fly away.

[00:11:38] And Miyoko also discovers after looking through some pictures that she actually met Saki years ago when Saki was like a toddler and helped her find her parents.

[00:11:48] And it's like, wow, the red string of fate and it's just like, ew.

[00:11:52] I guess it would be creepier if she did remember that was Saki.

[00:11:57] Yeah.

[00:11:58] But it's still weird as fuck.

[00:12:00] It's treated like, oh, it's cute. How cute is that?

[00:12:03] Their fates are intertwined.

[00:12:05] I've been watching you this whole time.

[00:12:07] We run into this problem with every vampire media that takes place in high school.

[00:12:11] It's the question of like, why are you still in high school, dude? Aren't you 400 years old?

[00:12:14] Yeah.

[00:12:15] Don't you hate this? Why are you hanging out with kids all the time?

[00:12:17] Let's get into talking about the characters.

[00:12:19] So Jess, do you mind telling us about the main character Saki?

[00:12:21] So we got Saki who is the taller one.

[00:12:25] Seems to have darker hair also and longer hair.

[00:12:27] She's got a gun, got knives too I think.

[00:12:30] She is like a perfect student but I think the other one is actually smarter.

[00:12:34] She's the vampire hunter and wants to kill Miyoko.

[00:12:37] Or does she?

[00:12:38] Or does she?

[00:12:39] Or does she?

[00:12:40] She's a sundae.

[00:12:41] Textbook.

[00:12:42] Everyone is Sundae in this series.

[00:12:44] I don't think Miyoko is a sundae.

[00:12:46] I think Miyoko is very much aware and open about her feelings to Saki.

[00:12:51] There's another word for the one that's like really bubbly and obsessive.

[00:12:54] Is it like seme or something?

[00:12:57] Yandere?

[00:12:58] No, yandere is when they're crazy.

[00:13:00] Yes, she's crazy.

[00:13:01] She's pretty crazy, David.

[00:13:03] Oh yeah, that's fair.

[00:13:04] Yeah, seme is a, I think that's a yawii term.

[00:13:07] Yeah, I think seme and uke is a yawii stuff for top and bottom anyway.

[00:13:11] Yeah, anyway.

[00:13:12] Today I learned.

[00:13:14] Yes.

[00:13:15] Oh man, imagine if these guys had massive hands.

[00:13:19] Just imagine it.

[00:13:20] Just imagine.

[00:13:21] Wow.

[00:13:22] I love how there's a moment where she like fires a gun in the nurse's office at school

[00:13:29] and the nurse is just like shh.

[00:13:31] It's they got a different culture over there with guns than we do.

[00:13:35] I think guns in school.

[00:13:36] Guns in school, yeah.

[00:13:38] They're super fictional in Japan and over here it's just like ha ha oh.

[00:13:41] Could you imagine?

[00:13:43] Oh my goodness.

[00:13:44] It's crazy.

[00:13:45] Let fantasy anyway as David has mentioned she is very confused by the concept of hormones.

[00:13:52] Yeah.

[00:13:53] And believes that the fact that she is into Miyoko is clearly due to mind control.

[00:13:59] Mm-hmm.

[00:14:00] Vampires do a lot of to be fair.

[00:14:02] Yes.

[00:14:03] Often times.

[00:14:04] Yeah, that's not an unfounded conclusion.

[00:14:06] Not completely.

[00:14:07] Yeah.

[00:14:08] All right.

[00:14:09] And then Jordan, do you want to actually tell us a bit more about the vampire?

[00:14:12] All right.

[00:14:13] So this is Miyoko Kujo extremely aggressive very much is constantly going after sake and

[00:14:22] like kind of too much and just being like, oh, I love you.

[00:14:26] I love you.

[00:14:27] I love you.

[00:14:28] And it's kind of like, do you?

[00:14:29] Because she's just not bombing the shit out of her.

[00:14:32] Nothing is healthy about this relationship.

[00:14:34] Nothing is healthy about this.

[00:14:35] She's teasing her at best.

[00:14:38] She says that she's a young vampire, which makes it seem like oh, she's only 100 years

[00:14:44] old versus 400 years old.

[00:14:47] FreeRyn meets an elf that's much older than her and says that you are young

[00:14:51] but FreeRyn is still 1000 years old.

[00:14:53] So it's all relative.

[00:14:54] Yeah.

[00:14:55] And she says that she loves you very much.

[00:14:57] I must drink your blood.

[00:14:58] Oh man.

[00:14:59] You give you the tastiest blood until you get past your crime, until you hit the

[00:15:04] wall or whatever.

[00:15:05] That's gross.

[00:15:07] Miyoko, you're gross.

[00:15:10] Who's the real predator amongst these two makes you wonder?

[00:15:14] It's never fully confirmed whether Miyoko actually loves sake or views her as just

[00:15:21] her blood.

[00:15:22] Because at one point I don't view you as food sake, whereas I don't know.

[00:15:26] Her actions seem different.

[00:15:28] I don't know how reliable she is.

[00:15:31] Well, I mean because she's like a yandare, it's hard to tell because they do

[00:15:36] just sometimes be acting like this where it's like somebody who has like an

[00:15:40] obsessive crush is like actually just harassing the person a lot.

[00:15:44] And then they tie you up in your basement.

[00:15:46] Yeah.

[00:15:47] Because I love you so much.

[00:15:48] Yeah, exactly.

[00:15:49] Yeah.

[00:15:50] You suck your blood, ignore your denial of consent for that stuff, whatever.

[00:15:55] That is just yandare bullshit, man.

[00:15:58] I don't know what to do.

[00:15:59] Such yandare bullshit.

[00:16:00] And you know who's got a lot of bullshes that last character?

[00:16:02] Well hold on because I want to say the fucking rules for this with these

[00:16:08] vampires and the sunlight.

[00:16:10] Well she wore sunscreen.

[00:16:11] She wears sunscreen, whatever.

[00:16:13] And has a parasol.

[00:16:14] She's good.

[00:16:15] Yeah.

[00:16:16] I mean it does make sense that it's like she's young and she's 400 if

[00:16:20] being a vampire is that easy.

[00:16:22] You don't really have to worry about the sun and stuff like that.

[00:16:24] Yeah.

[00:16:25] Maybe it goes by what we do in the shadows where you lose your resistance

[00:16:28] to the sun as you get older as a vampire.

[00:16:30] Oh, I need to watch that whole show.

[00:16:32] It's really good.

[00:16:33] Me too.

[00:16:34] But yeah, did they actually explain why she was in school in the first

[00:16:36] place?

[00:16:37] Because what's she in school before Saki enrolled?

[00:16:39] Uh, Saki came to this school to kill me because there's a

[00:16:44] vampire at it or something.

[00:16:46] Yeah.

[00:16:47] So she was already in the school.

[00:16:49] Yeah.

[00:16:50] Saki's like the exchange student I think in this scenario.

[00:16:52] I just assume it's like Twilight roles where she moves every year or

[00:16:57] something.

[00:16:58] She moves to forks and yeah.

[00:17:00] That's fair.

[00:17:01] But it also means that she only goes after like 15 year olds.

[00:17:04] But that's if Bella was a vampire.

[00:17:06] Better book, honestly.

[00:17:08] The last character is Chaharu who she is a newbie so she's

[00:17:12] Kawai but she genuinely is actually trying to kill Miyako.

[00:17:15] Yeah.

[00:17:16] So we actually get some good strong positive vampire hunter

[00:17:19] representation in this.

[00:17:20] Finally, God that's not in media enough.

[00:17:24] It's a problem I feel.

[00:17:26] I feel she would wear that shirt where it's I'm not

[00:17:28] Tudarei.

[00:17:29] I actually hate you.

[00:17:30] Good shirt.

[00:17:32] I've never seen that shirt.

[00:17:34] I'll get it for your birthday.

[00:17:35] Yeah.

[00:17:36] There's a lot of implications here that Chiharu is also

[00:17:40] in love with Saki.

[00:17:41] Oh yeah, of course.

[00:17:42] Yeah.

[00:17:43] Because Chiharu is very like you know it's that kind of like Senpai,

[00:17:47] Kyodai.

[00:17:48] Do I respect you or do I love you?

[00:17:50] Yeah she's also unaware of the concept of hormones I think.

[00:17:53] That's just a fun teen trope to do.

[00:17:56] Yeah.

[00:17:57] I'm doing that in Skull Tenders Christ's sake.

[00:17:59] Whoa spoilers, spoilers.

[00:18:02] It's a fun angle to be like I don't know what I'm feeling right now.

[00:18:05] What is this?

[00:18:06] Whoa.

[00:18:07] Intrital conflict.

[00:18:08] Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa.

[00:18:10] Oh man, showing into what it failed.

[00:18:12] I was trying to figure out a way that doesn't sound like I'm passive aggressive

[00:18:14] in Skull Tenders.

[00:18:15] Be like on the topic of fakes that are not well written.

[00:18:18] No no.

[00:18:19] In bizarro.

[00:18:20] In bizarro world.

[00:18:22] It's opposite day.

[00:18:24] Yeah where we have existing sandwich instead of void burger.

[00:18:30] I don't know what the opposite of a burger is.

[00:18:32] Fucking hot dog.

[00:18:33] Yeah existing hot dog be like I have a badly written D&D character.

[00:18:38] Alright let's get into why it failed.

[00:18:40] Point burger please kick things off.

[00:18:42] Why it failed, I don't know it's just boring.

[00:18:44] Yeah.

[00:18:45] Not a lot happens.

[00:18:46] I also feel like it doesn't have, I don't know, like when you start reading a manga

[00:18:51] it's good to have like a hold open thing where it's just like whoa what's going on here

[00:18:56] I need to read more to find out and just feels like you just know the premise immediately.

[00:19:00] It's just like oh okay there's not like any intrigue to this.

[00:19:04] No.

[00:19:05] You know to grab me and it's like yeah it's like a fluffy, urie thing.

[00:19:07] I probably shouldn't expect that shit but my comparison point for fluffy urie bullshit is card

[00:19:12] captor Sakura so I'm spoiled right?

[00:19:14] Oh.

[00:19:15] I'm just like oh well maybe some more characters show up, maybe they have conflicting motivations

[00:19:19] or anything it's just like no no not a ton happens.

[00:19:24] This series reads like a fanfic of another series.

[00:19:28] It does actually yeah you know what it reminded me of this thought occurred to me in the

[00:19:33] middle of the night last night.

[00:19:35] Yeah, Eureka.

[00:19:36] Oh, Eureka.

[00:19:38] Eureka.

[00:19:39] Oh interesting.

[00:19:40] That's a good name for series about lesbian scientists.

[00:19:43] That's a podcast name.

[00:19:46] But I was thinking like what does this remind me of and I struck me like lightning it

[00:19:50] reminds me of being a kid and into Invader Zim but I couldn't watch Invader Zim so

[00:19:55] I read fanfic of Invader Zim and there was so much fanfic of Dib and Zim having

[00:20:02] this relation the same fucking Sundare slash Yandare relationship and I was just like

[00:20:07] oh my god everyone was doing that.

[00:20:09] That's what was happening there.

[00:20:11] I didn't like that.

[00:20:12] I was just like okay that's really out of character.

[00:20:14] I don't think Zim would.

[00:20:15] Just as like I didn't like that.

[00:20:18] It sure did come up a lot though.

[00:20:20] Oh my god.

[00:20:21] Yeah, I feel like the easiest way to say the issue with the series is and this

[00:20:24] is going to sound really pretentious but this doesn't have any like jinnis at

[00:20:27] Kwa.

[00:20:28] There's just an emptiness where there's just not it's like when you eat something and

[00:20:31] it just doesn't have like any fat in it and it tastes kind of off or it's like when

[00:20:34] you eat like one of those diet foods and it's like you can tell what they had to

[00:20:37] strip out to make it a diet food so it just doesn't feel like you're getting

[00:20:40] full by eating it.

[00:20:41] Yeah, there's no intrigue.

[00:20:43] There is no like plot and there isn't even like that many like sexy moments

[00:20:48] either so it's just like why am I here?

[00:20:50] What is this?

[00:20:51] Who's this for?

[00:20:52] I can read this in public.

[00:20:53] What am I doing?

[00:20:54] Yeah, I can read this in public.

[00:20:55] Who's this for?

[00:20:57] Well, you know, we mentioned plot a little bit and to that I say what plot?

[00:21:04] There's nothing here.

[00:21:05] Yeah, it's cotton candy the manga basically.

[00:21:09] I feel like the author towards the end was like, oh fuck, fuck, I never introduced

[00:21:13] a plot.

[00:21:14] Yeah, that's what it felt like.

[00:21:16] Vampire Hunter not save him.

[00:21:18] Please don't cancel my manga.

[00:21:20] Oh, too late.

[00:21:21] Too late.

[00:21:22] Well, apparently the series did not get canceled but we're going to learn

[00:21:24] more about that as we read Maxi V's notes.

[00:21:26] Oh, also they don't really have any vampire rules.

[00:21:29] A big thing is Miohoku comes into Saki's house, which is like one of the most

[00:21:33] famous things about vampires is you cannot just break into someone's house.

[00:21:37] So I was like, did you actually give a shit?

[00:21:39] I get dropping things like the OCD but that's like the thing that I would

[00:21:42] say is in the top three things people know about vampires.

[00:21:45] That's up there.

[00:21:46] I didn't even pick up on that.

[00:21:47] It's true.

[00:21:48] It's like sunlight sucking blood and can't come into your house.

[00:21:51] Yeah.

[00:21:52] And this girl's going to regular ass school.

[00:21:54] It's also how does a vampire hunter not have like a fireproof house on top of

[00:21:58] that policy too?

[00:21:59] Yeah, why isn't there garlic in every single threshold of her house?

[00:22:03] It shows like the lack of shit this offer actually gave about this topic.

[00:22:06] Like in the first chapter she's like, huh, she can't get to me now.

[00:22:11] I'm wearing garlic and have a cross around my chest.

[00:22:13] All right, it's time to eat.

[00:22:14] Let me take both of those things off while I eat.

[00:22:17] What do you do?

[00:22:18] Sloppy work.

[00:22:20] Sloppy as fuck.

[00:22:21] Imagine if it was 800 IQ when she was eating garlic in all our food.

[00:22:25] Oh, I see.

[00:22:26] Yeah, sloppy, I think is a good way of putting it.

[00:22:28] And it's just like the offer clearly just ran out of steam, which is a shame

[00:22:31] because we'll talk about it in like where could it go?

[00:22:33] But there is a lot of interesting space of making a cute Yuri vampire

[00:22:37] cotton candy manga.

[00:22:38] Yeah.

[00:22:39] And like I feel like by taking out a lot of the restrictions that come

[00:22:42] with vampires, you're like killing a lot of interest because having

[00:22:47] that kind of friction is important in like anything interesting.

[00:22:51] Oh, how are they going to overcome this one thing?

[00:22:53] There's nothing to overcome in this really.

[00:22:55] GbGest is where they would get a relationship and like she would have

[00:22:59] like a hell sing like parent.

[00:23:01] And the problem wasn't that they were lesbians.

[00:23:03] The problem was that one was a vampire and that was going to be the joke.

[00:23:06] Romeo and Juliet sort of style thing just seems so like obvious

[00:23:09] but they didn't even try to like there's a lot of low hanging fruit.

[00:23:12] The series didn't even try.

[00:23:13] It's really weird that they introduced her mom for a single panel

[00:23:16] and like it never got brought up again.

[00:23:18] Oh, but there was a whole different character.

[00:23:20] Can we go back to that?

[00:23:21] Who was that?

[00:23:22] Yeah.

[00:23:23] And that counts, Jordan.

[00:23:24] For the record that counts she has a Van Helsing parent.

[00:23:26] Okay.

[00:23:27] Yes.

[00:23:28] We score our guesses in our GbF episodes.

[00:23:30] We score our guesses.

[00:23:32] Yeah.

[00:23:33] I mean there was a brief.

[00:23:34] They were like, oh, there's StarCross lovers, you know,

[00:23:37] and this like their family is not going to like you,

[00:23:40] not going to like this or something.

[00:23:41] And then nothing happened.

[00:23:42] I don't know.

[00:23:43] Maybe that would have been more interesting if you focused on

[00:23:46] that, that instead of focusing on like nothing.

[00:23:49] Maybe it like would have went there if the manga kept going,

[00:23:52] but it's I have to see it a little bit of that ahead of time.

[00:23:55] I don't know why I'm thinking that this was supposed to go anywhere.

[00:23:57] I keep applying real story narrative rules to this.

[00:24:00] It's like how come they didn't foreshadow anything

[00:24:02] or have an interesting cold open?

[00:24:04] Maybe this was never supposed to be interesting and it was

[00:24:06] just supposed to be cute girls almost kissing.

[00:24:09] I feel like that is true.

[00:24:11] That was the main goal.

[00:24:13] And I feel like, yeah, I don't know.

[00:24:15] Things just kind of happen in this series.

[00:24:17] I feel like another kind of missed opportunity.

[00:24:20] Sure, you'd be fluffy all you want if you're not going to be

[00:24:23] interesting, you should be more funny.

[00:24:25] Like it's almost funny.

[00:24:26] It's like adjacent to funny.

[00:24:28] There's like little things where she's like, oh, they're

[00:24:29] going to be funny.

[00:24:30] And then they kind of just like this sort of felt more

[00:24:32] like a web comic than an actual comic.

[00:24:36] It's also like the pacing was weird where it was very

[00:24:38] fast paced with the pages because the pages took very little

[00:24:42] time to read, which the art was good.

[00:24:44] I mean, again, the positive point it was like a really just

[00:24:46] want to show off the art and so the office seemed to not

[00:24:48] want to actually put dialogue or really show things in the series.

[00:24:51] Yeah, I think like the backgrounds look nice too.

[00:24:53] Like the art is definitely very solid.

[00:24:55] Why don't we move into what it did well?

[00:24:58] But a but was coming.

[00:25:00] Oh, what's your butt?

[00:25:02] What's your butt, Jess?

[00:25:03] What's your butt?

[00:25:04] I do have a criticism with regards to the readability

[00:25:07] of certain panels when it comes to action shots.

[00:25:09] There's a couple of different moments where they have a little

[00:25:12] will they won't they tumble around and it's hard to figure out.

[00:25:15] Okay, what happened there?

[00:25:17] Like actually bodily how did that person move into this position?

[00:25:21] Like we're over here now.

[00:25:23] There was like a couple of instances, you know,

[00:25:25] compositionally where I was just really confused about the action.

[00:25:27] Yeah, I think that's a good call.

[00:25:29] This author is not an action mangaka.

[00:25:33] They have problems with that, I suppose.

[00:25:36] A lot of stuff is ill defined.

[00:25:38] Yeah, the fight scenes aren't great.

[00:25:40] I will say that the artists are pretty good.

[00:25:42] So why don't we get into what it did well?

[00:25:44] Jordan, go for it, my man.

[00:25:45] The art's really cute.

[00:25:46] I don't know just like you Jordan.

[00:25:48] Thank you, David. Just like you.

[00:25:50] It's not as thick as you though.

[00:25:52] I think in general, the art is actually pretty good.

[00:25:55] Yeah, I like the style.

[00:25:57] Yeah, everything seems to be pretty on model.

[00:25:59] You have a pretty strong sense of the figure with each of

[00:26:04] the drawings, I suppose.

[00:26:06] And the comic itself is cute and sweet.

[00:26:09] When she realized that she wasn't being hypnotized,

[00:26:12] she's just a lesbian.

[00:26:13] That was cute.

[00:26:14] It was.

[00:26:15] It was pretty obvious, but yes, it was cute though.

[00:26:18] I was like, oh no, she's not hypnotized.

[00:26:19] Absolutely not. She's just gay as hell.

[00:26:21] The kiss was cute. No, it was.

[00:26:23] This rides the line pretty nicely between being cute

[00:26:26] and being like, oh, OK, hominah.

[00:26:28] OK.

[00:26:29] OK, that's a little hot, but it's just OK.

[00:26:32] Wait a second. These are like 15 year olds.

[00:26:34] It's Manga.

[00:26:35] Welcome to Manga.

[00:26:36] We don't care.

[00:26:37] We've seen a lot worse.

[00:26:40] Yeah.

[00:26:41] This series at least wasn't offensive.

[00:26:43] No, it could be more or see a.

[00:26:45] Yeah. Well, there was the pedophile stuff, I guess.

[00:26:48] She is that kind of comes with the territory of vampires.

[00:26:52] And it also comes with the territory oftentimes of just

[00:26:55] being taking place in a Japanese high school.

[00:26:58] Like both those things combined, you know what's going to happen.

[00:27:01] You know what you're getting into here.

[00:27:03] It's going to have that in there, right?

[00:27:05] In some measure.

[00:27:06] By our powers combined, we form sex offender.

[00:27:10] We form something that Western audiences don't know

[00:27:13] how to talk about with any text.

[00:27:16] I'm just imagining the vampire sex offender

[00:27:18] just keeps getting arrested and thrown in jail,

[00:27:20] but since they're immortal,

[00:27:21] they just keep waiting out their sentences.

[00:27:22] Oh God.

[00:27:23] Well, I just turn into mist and leave.

[00:27:25] Yeah, pretty much.

[00:27:26] Can't jail a vampire.

[00:27:28] And then the cop chasing the vampire suddenly develops

[00:27:31] feelings for him.

[00:27:32] He just merges with his car.

[00:27:34] Yeah, it's a prequel to vampires.

[00:27:36] Oh God. Yeah.

[00:27:39] Oh man.

[00:27:40] Gary Oldman.

[00:27:41] I literally last night.

[00:27:43] Gary Oldman.

[00:27:44] I watched the Gary Oldman vampire movie.

[00:27:47] Just to prepare.

[00:27:48] Not that good actually.

[00:27:49] I don't recommend.

[00:27:50] Sounds like a flop.

[00:27:52] Yeah, honestly.

[00:27:53] It has a pretty high IMDB rating.

[00:27:55] I'm like, really?

[00:27:56] It's only a half a point less good than

[00:27:59] interview with the vampire.

[00:28:00] And I'm like, that is just straight up wrong.

[00:28:02] Get out of here.

[00:28:04] That one had accents that made sense.

[00:28:06] Come on.

[00:28:07] The only good thing about that movie is if you want to see Keanu Reeves,

[00:28:11] be handsome and do nothing else.

[00:28:13] I'd have the funniest worst accent.

[00:28:15] It's so funny.

[00:28:16] It made me feel a lot better about my own bad as hell British accent

[00:28:19] in my show.

[00:28:20] So that was good for me.

[00:28:23] It's always good to hear worse accents.

[00:28:26] I was listening to an audiobook reading of Dracula by Christopher Lee,

[00:28:31] which pretty cool, except he had to do a text and accent.

[00:28:35] Oh fuck yeah.

[00:28:36] Oh my God.

[00:28:38] Holy shit.

[00:28:40] British people doing like American accents.

[00:28:42] I'm like so intrigued by sometimes they're great at it.

[00:28:46] He was not.

[00:28:47] It's Christopher Lee British.

[00:28:48] Hang on a second.

[00:28:49] Yes.

[00:28:50] Yeah, Christopher Lee's British.

[00:28:51] Yeah.

[00:28:52] He is right?

[00:28:53] Okay.

[00:28:54] But yeah, so George, what were you saying though about something you enjoyed about the series?

[00:28:56] It's just cute.

[00:28:57] I think the love triangle started to be cute.

[00:29:00] I don't know.

[00:29:01] And then of course it went nowhere because the series ended.

[00:29:04] I like the little shopping date they have.

[00:29:07] I'm a sucker for that.

[00:29:08] Yeah.

[00:29:09] I'm a sucker for a shopping date.

[00:29:11] You know, it's as cute.

[00:29:12] You can see them in different outfits and blushing at each other

[00:29:15] and complimenting each other on the outfits and stuff.

[00:29:17] And it's like, oh, that's not okay.

[00:29:19] Yeah.

[00:29:20] And I also like Miyoko's bat form.

[00:29:22] It's cute.

[00:29:23] Yeah.

[00:29:24] It is very cool.

[00:29:25] Also, the series was pretty easy to read.

[00:29:27] It went by pretty quickly.

[00:29:29] It was paced decently.

[00:29:30] It was like a 30 minute read.

[00:29:32] Total breeze.

[00:29:33] Yeah.

[00:29:34] I just read it again this morning just zoomed by.

[00:29:36] Just because you could just the flex on us.

[00:29:38] Just cause I could.

[00:29:40] I didn't learn anything new.

[00:29:42] I was just damn, I really needed that cute vampire manga.

[00:29:46] Your fix.

[00:29:47] My fix of cute vampire cotton candy.

[00:29:51] My vampire can't be this cute.

[00:29:53] Oh, David.

[00:29:54] Don't don't.

[00:29:55] Well, all right.

[00:29:56] Why don't we on that?

[00:29:57] No, why don't we get into where it could have gone?

[00:29:59] Yeah.

[00:30:00] So Jess, what really stands out to you is some things

[00:30:02] you would have tweaked or extended the series to have made

[00:30:04] it more successful.

[00:30:05] I think that there's like a lot of things.

[00:30:07] And of course, this is a lot of me just wishing it was

[00:30:10] a different genre or something.

[00:30:12] Yeah.

[00:30:13] It is what it is.

[00:30:14] I don't think it was really like intending to have a

[00:30:16] intrigue or something.

[00:30:17] But I personally like a little intrigue in the stuff I read

[00:30:19] even if it's like slightly horny, but I don't know.

[00:30:22] Hey, nothing wrong with that sometimes.

[00:30:24] I don't know.

[00:30:25] Yeah.

[00:30:26] That's my fetish is intrigue.

[00:30:27] We could have not known she was a vampire for a goddamn

[00:30:30] minute or something like right out of the gates.

[00:30:32] That's what I was thinking too.

[00:30:34] Right out of the gates, you know exactly who they are

[00:30:36] and what they're about and like what they're doing.

[00:30:38] And it's just like nothing ever really goes in here

[00:30:40] with that.

[00:30:41] Of course, it's very short.

[00:30:42] So maybe it could have, of course, but I don't know.

[00:30:44] You could have did a little will they won't they with is she a

[00:30:47] vampire?

[00:30:48] Maybe you could have had a cast of like suspects.

[00:30:51] Who is the vampire and they're all like hair of me and

[00:30:54] flirty and stuff like that.

[00:30:56] And you're it's oh, who do you think is the vampire of this

[00:30:58] crew in this high school that she's supposed to be hunting

[00:31:01] a vampire in that could have been neat.

[00:31:02] I think that would have been really great.

[00:31:04] I'm just some sense of intrigue.

[00:31:05] I also just there's so many cute things that could have

[00:31:08] done with the series.

[00:31:09] Like I think a really low hanging fruit is they could have

[00:31:11] done the selfie together and the vampire girlfriend doesn't show

[00:31:14] up in the camera.

[00:31:15] Yeah.

[00:31:16] And I just feel like that's such like a fun idea.

[00:31:18] And that's like the energy the series had, but it just

[00:31:20] doesn't do things like that.

[00:31:22] And like having just watched Bram Stoker's Dracula, they did

[00:31:25] that absolutely goddamn constantly.

[00:31:27] They're constantly like he doesn't show up into reflections.

[00:31:29] Oh, his shadow does different stuff.

[00:31:31] And it was like borderline pretty funny when his shadow

[00:31:33] was doing different stuff.

[00:31:34] There's so much joke potential in this type of creature.

[00:31:38] They really didn't go for it.

[00:31:40] They did the holy water gun gag.

[00:31:43] Yeah.

[00:31:44] That's a way to kill a vampire with a water gun.

[00:31:46] Or is it?

[00:31:47] It seemed like it just stung a little bit.

[00:31:49] Yeah, nothing.

[00:31:50] The vampires didn't seem to actually have any weaknesses.

[00:31:52] Not really.

[00:31:53] The cross kind of made her faint for five seconds.

[00:31:56] And the garlic or whatever.

[00:31:58] The garlic just smelled bad.

[00:32:00] But it's like, you know, is this girl dangerous?

[00:32:03] There's even like after the shopping scene, it's like,

[00:32:06] yeah, she even worth killing.

[00:32:08] She doesn't.

[00:32:09] I mean, she's a terrible girl. She's not harming anybody.

[00:32:11] What's the point?

[00:32:12] Do I even need to kill this girl?

[00:32:13] And it's like, yeah, I'd like to ask that myself and not just

[00:32:16] have it like told to me, but maybe she could be a little

[00:32:18] dangerous.

[00:32:19] I don't know.

[00:32:20] She sucks this girl's blood a bunch of times and nothing bad

[00:32:22] happens to her.

[00:32:23] And she doesn't turn into a vampire or anything like that.

[00:32:25] Yeah.

[00:32:26] And she's also like, I get blood in a blood bank.

[00:32:28] So it removes like, so she's not harassing anyone else.

[00:32:31] Yeah.

[00:32:32] She has a friend that works at a blood bank to hook her up.

[00:32:34] No, no tension.

[00:32:35] No friction.

[00:32:36] Yeah.

[00:32:37] She says, oh, I would never kill you, Saki, because I love you.

[00:32:41] Maybe she kills other girls that she's not in love with.

[00:32:43] Yeah.

[00:32:44] I don't know.

[00:32:45] Have a reason where we're just, as he said, where we're

[00:32:48] just not like, yeah, don't kill her, Saki.

[00:32:50] Why?

[00:32:51] Yeah, there's like an implied menace just because

[00:32:54] she's a vampire, but it's like she's clearly not dangerous.

[00:32:57] So it's if she was a little dangerous, maybe that could

[00:33:00] have been even hotter guys.

[00:33:01] What if that like cleaned into the danger?

[00:33:04] I don't know.

[00:33:05] There's a presumption of danger that isn't actually present

[00:33:08] in the actual story.

[00:33:09] Would you do have liked it if Saki genuinely was trying

[00:33:12] to kill Miyoko the entire run of the series instead of giving up?

[00:33:15] She gave up pretty quick, didn't she?

[00:33:17] Yeah.

[00:33:18] It's a asterisk.

[00:33:19] It's like, oh, if anyone's going to kill her, it's me

[00:33:21] because she like saves her from the other vampire hunter

[00:33:23] and it's like, no, this is my prey.

[00:33:24] I'm going to kill her.

[00:33:25] So it's not like she changes her mind on it,

[00:33:27] but it's just like this is pretty weak.

[00:33:29] What if they didn't immediately say, oh no, I'm not

[00:33:32] controlling you.

[00:33:33] I can't do that.

[00:33:34] What if they kind of let it go for a little bit?

[00:33:36] There's this concept of you start a story at the most

[00:33:39] interesting part, like maybe when she's, as we've said,

[00:33:42] the intrigue trying to figure out who the vampire is,

[00:33:46] trying to figure out maybe like who's leaving these bodies.

[00:33:49] Maybe there's another vampire who's evil.

[00:33:52] If there is any friction in the story,

[00:33:54] if there is any conflicts, they are resolved

[00:33:56] like the next panel.

[00:33:58] We are not going to have any issues here.

[00:34:00] Our general criticism is maybe add a plot to the series.

[00:34:05] Yeah, as she may say, quaw.

[00:34:06] Maybe you have some kind of plot.

[00:34:08] Is that the genocide quaw, David, having a plot?

[00:34:11] Yes.

[00:34:12] They don't even have like midterms to stress out about.

[00:34:15] Like there's nothing in here.

[00:34:16] Well, they talk about Socky's like a 300 IQ student.

[00:34:19] So they're like, she'll never, so that's how they're like,

[00:34:21] well, school is never a concern for this series.

[00:34:23] Well, they have a joke where, yeah,

[00:34:25] Socky gets like 98s on everything,

[00:34:27] but Miyoko gets hundreds because she's taken it so long,

[00:34:30] which goes back to has she been held back like 20 years

[00:34:34] at this one school where she knows all the midterms?

[00:34:39] That's the exact same thing that people level against Twilight.

[00:34:42] And that's why vampires in high school is just a funny concept.

[00:34:46] Yeah.

[00:34:47] Who would want to be in high school forever?

[00:34:49] That's the world's worst place to be.

[00:34:51] Right.

[00:34:52] You could just go to college to wait easier and just do that.

[00:34:54] Yeah.

[00:34:55] Like Edward just like work at a fucking store or something.

[00:34:59] You don't have to go to school.

[00:35:01] Why?

[00:35:02] Especially with the money that Edward has anyway,

[00:35:04] this isn't about Twilight anyway.

[00:35:07] Gary Oldman was not going to high school.

[00:35:10] He was being young, but he wasn't being like high school young

[00:35:13] and fucking around there.

[00:35:15] Oh God, could you imagine Gary Oldman in high school?

[00:35:18] I also think by the way it would have been really funny

[00:35:21] if they had like other monster lesbian friends.

[00:35:24] Oh, I wish.

[00:35:25] So it would have been like imaginal werewolf in a cat girl.

[00:35:28] Isn't this just one of the Bratz toy lines you're describing?

[00:35:32] Oh, nice.

[00:35:33] Yeah.

[00:35:34] I think there's like Monster High or something like that

[00:35:36] and there is just like, you know, a Dracula girlfriend.

[00:35:39] He would have added something though.

[00:35:41] Or Monster Prom.

[00:35:42] Monster Prom.

[00:35:43] Oh, we've played Monster Prom.

[00:35:44] That's a great game.

[00:35:45] Yeah.

[00:35:46] Oh, I never get asked out.

[00:35:47] But I do have miscellaneous thoughts.

[00:35:49] So how about we get into that?

[00:35:50] Yeah.

[00:35:51] It's actually interesting that there is a bonus comic by Toma Usi

[00:35:55] who did Cheerful Amnesia, which is a much better cotton candy

[00:35:58] Yuri series that I have actually read.

[00:36:00] And I was like, wait a second.

[00:36:01] I recognize that art style.

[00:36:02] So it was just fun to see that I knew one of the creators

[00:36:05] of the bonus content that they added into the volumes

[00:36:08] for the series.

[00:36:09] Was that the, oh, I knew you as a child.

[00:36:12] And so because I knew you as a child,

[00:36:15] we must be together when you're also kind of still a child.

[00:36:19] Let me double check with one she made.

[00:36:21] I feel like vampire relationships are inherently,

[00:36:25] inherently have some kind of age gap.

[00:36:27] Yeah.

[00:36:28] I mean, vampire mortal relationships.

[00:36:30] Yes.

[00:36:31] That's true.

[00:36:32] Yeah.

[00:36:33] Then, you know, we get Anne Rice over, over here.

[00:36:35] Oh God.

[00:36:36] Making like a child into a vampire and then that child

[00:36:39] is all spending eternity being like this fucking sucks.

[00:36:42] Nobody wants to fuck me because I look like I'm seven.

[00:36:45] And it's like, yeah, why'd you do that?

[00:36:47] Why'd you write that?

[00:36:48] For the record, by the way, Jordan, so the bonus content is

[00:36:51] literally Miyoko just starts undressing Saki.

[00:36:53] And then it has the comment from the author saying,

[00:36:56] beautiful girls assaulting each other.

[00:36:58] I think it's great.

[00:36:59] Oh, I saw that.

[00:37:00] Yeah.

[00:37:01] Yeah.

[00:37:02] Yeah.

[00:37:03] Fantastic.

[00:37:04] Thank you, author.

[00:37:05] This was the most skin shown in the manga.

[00:37:07] Like actually them and their bras is the most you see.

[00:37:09] The author of Cheerful Amnesia is very horny.

[00:37:12] Let me be clear.

[00:37:13] You know, comes with the territory of making vampire

[00:37:17] Yuri, I suppose.

[00:37:19] It should at least.

[00:37:20] Yeah.

[00:37:21] Otherwise what the hell are we even doing here?

[00:37:23] You know?

[00:37:24] Yeah.

[00:37:25] And then did you guys have any other miscellaneous thoughts?

[00:37:26] Imagine you're just like drawing Yuri manga being like,

[00:37:29] God, I hate my job.

[00:37:31] Too many lesbians.

[00:37:33] I hate this subject matter.

[00:37:35] But you're just so good at it that it's like.

[00:37:38] You're cursed to draw Yuri for your entire career.

[00:37:41] Born to kill, cursed to draw you.

[00:37:45] 100 million dead lesbian.

[00:37:47] Undead lesbian.

[00:37:48] Oh yeah.

[00:37:49] True.

[00:37:50] All right.

[00:37:51] This is fucking.

[00:37:52] This is fucking.

[00:37:53] Jordan, we haven't even talked about the vampire series we tried writing like 15 years ago.

[00:37:56] Oh, but where we have the space Dracula's.

[00:37:59] Yeah.

[00:38:00] So it was called Cracker Fist and White Lightning versus the space Dracula's

[00:38:02] Voidberger and it was just two kung fu masters fighting Dracula's from space.

[00:38:07] One reason we didn't keep going with that.

[00:38:09] I don't know what I don't know.

[00:38:11] It was so as a black exploitation parody and their masters name was Blake'sploitation.

[00:38:15] Yeah, I could see why you stopped.

[00:38:17] Yeah, it was a good idea to stop wasn't it?

[00:38:19] Especially since Black you already exist.

[00:38:21] That's true.

[00:38:22] Going back to the same the same well that has been done before.

[00:38:25] Well there's a lot of vampire lesbian content.

[00:38:27] So you know there's only so much you could do a vampire Sunday or the sun.

[00:38:31] You can play that rim shots now.

[00:38:32] Now if you want.

[00:38:33] Hey, hey, hey, hey.

[00:38:34] I don't have a room shot.

[00:38:36] What do you not have a room shot sound on my thought that just comes by default in this.

[00:38:41] No, I mean this is a custom rig man.

[00:38:44] But no, I just have I love eggs and oh well then that's the closest we got play that one.

[00:38:49] This squee poo I forget.

[00:38:51] Hey leaving after my job after she learned about a cracker fist and white lightning.

[00:38:57] Bye.

[00:38:58] Bye.

[00:38:59] No, no, no.

[00:39:01] Yeah.

[00:39:02] Okay.

[00:39:03] All right.

[00:39:04] Does anyone have any other actual miscellaneous thoughts or should I read off what Maxi B's

[00:39:07] got tinkered in their brain?

[00:39:08] Yeah, go ahead.

[00:39:09] All right.

[00:39:10] So from the wonderful Maxi B the author is very online and you can actually find a link

[00:39:14] to their Twitter in our show notes which is found on the Patreon.

[00:39:18] So they just post constantly on Twitter a lot.

[00:39:20] They have a picture and yeah, Maxi B said that is the whole sentence just saying

[00:39:24] that you can see all of their shit online.

[00:39:26] The intention of this title is to be like you're killing me in English but the

[00:39:29] author interpreted that as being I love you to death.

[00:39:32] It's not the author's strong suit but I kind of get it.

[00:39:35] You're killing me.

[00:39:36] You're just killing me.

[00:39:38] Jerry, you're killing me with this Yuri.

[00:39:40] Called Jerry Galt.

[00:39:43] Chapter one which is not a part of volume one which had already come out is only

[00:39:46] six pages and immediately followed by cancellation notice.

[00:39:49] Apparently the cancellation is described as being at the author's convenience

[00:39:52] in a long since deleted tweet.

[00:39:54] The offer explains that it had become difficult to continue due to their

[00:39:57] circumstances and apologizes to readers.

[00:39:59] But yeah, the offer actually just kind of quit making this versus them being

[00:40:02] canceled.

[00:40:03] I don't understand how it was hard to make this series.

[00:40:06] Power to you though.

[00:40:07] I mean if you get too much on your plate, you got too much on your plate.

[00:40:09] Hey, there's a lot of series where I would rather them just call it quits.

[00:40:14] Like 99% of things we cover.

[00:40:16] Yeah, it's not like this was like going somewhere and people were

[00:40:19] really on the edge of their seats for some sort of conclusion.

[00:40:22] Where am I gonna find vampire lesbians now?

[00:40:25] We've read series where the author is just like fuck.

[00:40:28] I don't know where this is going.

[00:40:29] Bye everybody.

[00:40:30] I'm canceling this.

[00:40:31] One of which was very good.

[00:40:32] Tricks to educate the witches.

[00:40:34] Yeah, the author just straight up was like, I don't have any more ideas.

[00:40:38] I'm done here.

[00:40:39] Sorry.

[00:40:40] Appreciate the honesty.

[00:40:42] Yeah.

[00:40:43] And finally, vampireism, lesbianism actually have a long history

[00:40:46] from Carmilla to Dracula's daughter to hammer or hammer horror to

[00:40:50] lesbian vampire killers.

[00:40:51] And this manga is no exception to this.

[00:40:53] Vampires, the vexations of a shut in vampire princess kiss

[00:40:57] the scars of the girls.

[00:40:58] I won't let mistress suck my blood loads of stuff out of there.

[00:41:01] So I won't let mistress suck my blood.

[00:41:05] I super love that format of title.

[00:41:08] Yeah.

[00:41:09] And when it comes up, like is it wrong to pick up girls in a

[00:41:11] dungeon?

[00:41:12] Like I just love like the idea of having a super long descriptive

[00:41:15] sentence of a title for something.

[00:41:17] What is it about like my mom and her and her like to hit combo

[00:41:21] attacks combo attacks or something?

[00:41:23] Yeah.

[00:41:24] I took a horror movies class in college.

[00:41:28] Boy, that was a sought after seat.

[00:41:30] Oh, I'm living.

[00:41:31] I did vampire studies or sorry, zombie studies.

[00:41:34] But it was just like about like how horror movies tend to like

[00:41:38] reflect the environment of, you know, the social environment

[00:41:41] at the time and what people are scared of and all that stuff,

[00:41:43] basic stuff.

[00:41:44] But like vampires were, you know, they're pretty old, you

[00:41:48] know, this goes back and it's kind of just generally like a

[00:41:51] fear of like foreigners, but it kind of turned into more of a

[00:41:55] fear of queer people like as time went on and it's just the

[00:41:58] vampires got even sexier and even weirder and even like more

[00:42:03] super duper gay.

[00:42:04] Oh yeah.

[00:42:05] Then they were to begin with because like being gay was also

[00:42:08] like considered like a foreign idea, like all those queer

[00:42:12] strange foreigners with their peculiar ways and stuff like

[00:42:16] that.

[00:42:17] And here we are today in high school.

[00:42:19] I mean, hey, Bram Stoker, not a straight man.

[00:42:22] Just saying.

[00:42:23] Oh, I didn't know that.

[00:42:24] I didn't know that either.

[00:42:25] Yeah.

[00:42:26] Big if true.

[00:42:27] Yeah.

[00:42:28] I think he hung out with Edgar Allen Poe a little bit.

[00:42:29] He wasn't gay.

[00:42:30] No, I was just saying.

[00:42:31] Okay.

[00:42:32] I just like that they were friends.

[00:42:33] I think Bram Stoker was really into Walt Whitman.

[00:42:38] Like was it Walt Whitman?

[00:42:40] Or the guy who wrote The Little Mermaid like stalk

[00:42:42] someone.

[00:42:43] Yeah.

[00:42:44] The Little Mermaid is very much a story about how Hans

[00:42:47] Christian Andersen's about the man that Hans Christian

[00:42:50] Andersen was in love with was getting married.

[00:42:53] Yeah.

[00:42:54] That is very much.

[00:42:55] Yeah.

[00:42:56] Oh yeah.

[00:42:57] Did you know there's an RPG?

[00:42:58] Someone made a tabletop RPG where it's like he won't

[00:43:00] leave my house.

[00:43:01] It's like if he's in my front yard and I can't get

[00:43:04] him to leave and it's a role play.

[00:43:05] Is it a one page role playing game?

[00:43:07] Yeah.

[00:43:08] Okay.

[00:43:09] I don't know where else that could go.

[00:43:10] Yeah, no.

[00:43:11] Bram Stoker was in love with Walt Whitman to the

[00:43:14] point where it is speculated that he based Dracula on

[00:43:17] him because he viewed Walt Whitman as like the ideal

[00:43:21] perfect man or something.

[00:43:23] As we all do.

[00:43:24] Yeah, that's like me and Jordan.

[00:43:26] Yeah, exactly.

[00:43:27] Googling Walt Whitman.

[00:43:29] What did he look like?

[00:43:30] How hot was he?

[00:43:31] Not very.

[00:43:32] Wow.

[00:43:33] Yeah.

[00:43:34] Oh my God.

[00:43:36] He's basically a really ratty Santa Claus if I had

[00:43:39] to describe him.

[00:43:40] Yeah.

[00:43:41] Basically.

[00:43:42] Presumably he was young at some point.

[00:43:45] I'm also thinking about Jordan how friend of the show

[00:43:47] Shen of Shen Comics, how his latest comic that came

[00:43:49] out with someone reading his mind just says his two

[00:43:52] thoughts are lesbians and depression.

[00:43:54] That goes into vampire lesbians very easily is all

[00:43:57] I'm saying.

[00:43:58] Yes.

[00:43:59] So we told him he was very interested in the series

[00:44:01] that we're covering.

[00:44:02] All right.

[00:44:03] Does anyone have anything else or should we go on a

[00:44:05] final verdict?

[00:44:06] No, go ahead.

[00:44:07] All right, let's get started with some six word

[00:44:08] summaries from the community from Tucker,

[00:44:09] sucking the excrement from queer romance.

[00:44:11] Oh my God.

[00:44:12] Dammit.

[00:44:13] I caught myself.

[00:44:15] I caught myself.

[00:44:17] They don't do that.

[00:44:18] Whoa.

[00:44:19] It's a different manga.

[00:44:20] Oh God.

[00:44:21] Maxi B cancellation.

[00:44:22] More like lesbian read death.

[00:44:24] What?

[00:44:25] Red, red death.

[00:44:27] Oh, sorry.

[00:44:28] More like lesbian red death.

[00:44:29] Hey.

[00:44:30] Or paladin.

[00:44:31] Good luck writing the plot summary.

[00:44:33] Yeah, Jordan.

[00:44:34] Get fucked buddy.

[00:44:35] No, you did great job.

[00:44:36] There was not much to do with it.

[00:44:38] No, you did great job.

[00:44:39] There was not much to do.

[00:44:41] This was short plots.

[00:44:43] Chicken Warlord says it's all bite and no bark

[00:44:45] and only succeeded in killing my interest.

[00:44:48] Dude Rock says the offer is barely disguised,

[00:44:50] biting fetish,

[00:44:51] Glornaq a better love story than Twilight.

[00:44:53] Great Potter says vampire hunter unfortunately into

[00:44:56] being bitten.

[00:44:57] Maxi B has an arm and says about the same level

[00:44:59] as Twilight.

[00:45:00] Wow, a little bit of a conflict there.

[00:45:02] Yeah.

[00:45:03] Fight, fight, fight.

[00:45:05] Go.

[00:45:06] Portal Man says ask for consent before drinking blood

[00:45:09] and why Saki sucks at vampire hunting.

[00:45:11] Quack says vampire gui has never been this boring.

[00:45:14] Ooh.

[00:45:15] Redblade has actually worse love story than Twilight.

[00:45:18] Whoa, okay.

[00:45:19] We got all three arguments here.

[00:45:22] God damn.

[00:45:23] The entire spectrum of feelings for Twilight.

[00:45:25] And is this consensual non-consent role play?

[00:45:28] Resident Warhammer nerd says the vampire series sucks.

[00:45:30] No bite.

[00:45:31] Boom.

[00:45:32] Spubby says doesn't suck.

[00:45:33] It scrapes in licks and then they have a gift

[00:45:35] that the criminal ventures ability in Mandy.

[00:45:37] Spike, the fetish stream is killing me.

[00:45:39] And finally T-Wolfwood says my vampire lesbian

[00:45:41] experience with loneliness.

[00:45:42] Or.

[00:45:43] Hey.

[00:45:44] Manga was killing me with boredom.

[00:45:46] That's a good one T-Wolfwood because yeah,

[00:45:48] I actually brought that up in the chibi so good thought.

[00:45:50] That was actually what my six word summary was going to be

[00:45:53] before he wrote that one so I had to think of a different one.

[00:45:55] How about you David?

[00:45:56] What are your six word summaries?

[00:45:58] My first one is the gay vampire agenda wins again.

[00:46:02] Nice.

[00:46:03] And it's vampire hunter with Lady D.

[00:46:05] So that's a reference to vampire hunter D.

[00:46:08] But I think it didn't work out so well so that's why I said it second.

[00:46:11] With Lady D from Resident Evil for some reason.

[00:46:15] Yeah.

[00:46:16] I don't see it but alright.

[00:46:17] Well she's a vampire.

[00:46:18] Okay, alright.

[00:46:19] I was just making a joke because there's vampire hunter D

[00:46:21] and then Lady D.

[00:46:22] Seven feet tall though.

[00:46:23] Yeah.

[00:46:24] Could you imagine though?

[00:46:25] Oh my god that would make the series go.

[00:46:28] What if a woman was really tall?

[00:46:30] Whoa.

[00:46:31] What?

[00:46:32] And Jordan what was yours?

[00:46:33] No, don't suck my blood blush.

[00:46:36] Baka.

[00:46:37] And then chess have like pierced.

[00:46:40] And since I wrote mine just now I just said I wish this was Tokyo Ghoul.

[00:46:43] Unravel just put in a sound clip of Unravel that we legally could play.

[00:46:49] I just like yeah like I watched a decent chunk of Tokyo Ghoul

[00:46:53] and also like the whole time I was like I wish this was not this

[00:46:56] at the same time so there's this kind of like

[00:46:58] kind of like Jena Seqwav like nobody's doing like vampire ish,

[00:47:03] zombie ish, in high school ish, trying to be normal ish,

[00:47:07] romance ish stuff in the way that I wish it was doing.

[00:47:11] That's a good point.

[00:47:12] It's like a different combination of that stuff than what we've seen.

[00:47:17] Yeah.

[00:47:18] So now I guess is this a flop or not?

[00:47:21] I kind of thought it wasn't a flop and then I was discussing

[00:47:23] I was like oh yeah this is kind of shit.

[00:47:25] So I'm gonna say it's a regular flop.

[00:47:27] How about you Jordan?

[00:47:28] I was at the exact same boat actually

[00:47:31] because my issue is that I wanted more kind of.

[00:47:35] Yeah.

[00:47:36] But I don't know if the author was going to give it more

[00:47:39] is the problem.

[00:47:40] So I guess it is kind of a flop.

[00:47:43] Yeah.

[00:47:44] I think it's a flop and it's mostly like you said Jordan.

[00:47:48] Yeah, I want more and it's there's different definitions of more

[00:47:52] like I either want more story or I want more horny

[00:47:55] and it's kind of in this uncanny valley of not doing either well

[00:47:58] and so like why would I be invested in either you know.

[00:48:01] Inside of you are two wolves.

[00:48:03] The horny one and the plot intrigue one.

[00:48:08] Yeah no it just feels like if given more time

[00:48:11] the author wasn't gonna give this series what it needed.

[00:48:15] Nah nah.

[00:48:16] No.

[00:48:17] So Jess what would you say someone should check out instead of those?

[00:48:20] The first three episodes of Tokyo Ghoul.

[00:48:23] I really wanted that to be something I don't know.

[00:48:26] I really did too.

[00:48:28] I really wanted it to be I really thought it was going for this

[00:48:30] and this is a bit of an aside.

[00:48:32] I really thought Tokyo Ghoul was going for a eating disorder allegory

[00:48:36] because it was really focused on like eating, consuming

[00:48:40] and the morality of it and like weird stuff like that.

[00:48:43] I thought it was gonna go for something like that

[00:48:45] and then it was just like oh no we just it's a lot of drama

[00:48:47] and fighting and okay fine fine.

[00:48:50] Oh man it's just shown in manga.

[00:48:52] God damn it.

[00:48:53] Fine.

[00:48:54] And if you want lesbian stuff I don't read a ton of that.

[00:48:57] No it's fine.

[00:48:58] I don't need a ton of manga to be given.

[00:49:00] Hey it doesn't have to be manga actually

[00:49:02] I'm not gonna recommend a manga it's gonna be something else.

[00:49:05] Jordan's gonna recommend a fucking painting again.

[00:49:07] Yeah nah check it out.

[00:49:09] Check out a fucking whatever.

[00:49:13] Satter devouring is fucking sucks anyway.

[00:49:16] I knew that Jess wasn't gonna say Bram Stoker's Dracula

[00:49:19] for one thing.

[00:49:20] No I don't recommend that one.

[00:49:21] Interview with the vampire watch that instead

[00:49:23] if you want horny vampires.

[00:49:24] There we go.

[00:49:25] And if you just want a horny comic

[00:49:27] that is also very fucking funny but is explicit

[00:49:30] I would recommend Crime Hot by Alec Robin.

[00:49:32] Nice.

[00:49:34] I would recommend actually hey you want monsters

[00:49:37] you want high school you want teen hormones

[00:49:40] check out Ginger Snaps.

[00:49:42] I've heard good things about that.

[00:49:44] Oh that's such a good movie.

[00:49:46] I love that movie.

[00:49:48] That movie is so good.

[00:49:49] It's great also I want to say Jennifer's Body.

[00:49:52] Oh I haven't seen that one but I've heard of it.

[00:49:55] That's a vampire in fucking high school.

[00:49:58] That's a good one.

[00:49:59] And it has a lesbian scene.

[00:50:00] That's a good one because she's a recent vampire

[00:50:02] so it makes sense that she's in high school.

[00:50:04] She's not hanging out here for 400 years

[00:50:05] for no fucking reason because she's a pedophile.

[00:50:08] Yeah and then I have one recommendation in particular

[00:50:10] so if you want to see some horny

[00:50:12] and funny high school ramps there's 100 girlfriends

[00:50:14] which is really probably the dumbest

[00:50:17] manga I've ever read in my entire life.

[00:50:19] Is that the 100 girlfriends who really love you?

[00:50:22] Jess are you familiar with that manga?

[00:50:24] The name is ringing a bell but I don't know anything about it.

[00:50:27] I think the title probably tells me a lot though.

[00:50:29] Yeah so it's a guy who the god of love or fate

[00:50:32] fucked up his like paperwork for this guy

[00:50:34] so instead of having one soulmate he has 100.

[00:50:37] It's all about him falling in love with 100 people at the same time.

[00:50:41] I love clerical errors that cause like a cascade of mistakes.

[00:50:47] And he meets God and God just like my bad.

[00:50:50] So it's really stupid.

[00:50:51] Didn't we read that series?

[00:50:53] No it was called Love Rush.

[00:50:55] I'm just kidding.

[00:50:56] Yeah Love Rush is different.

[00:50:57] Love Rush is different and worse.

[00:50:58] The 100 girlfriends who really really really really really love you.

[00:51:02] Yes yes yes

[00:51:03] It's really stupid.

[00:51:04] Also I want to just give a shout out to Nick and Lever

[00:51:07] which is my favorite gag comic I'm reading right now.

[00:51:10] It's so good.

[00:51:12] Jess um I don't know have you ever read the Perry Bible Fellowship?

[00:51:15] Oh yeah.

[00:51:16] It's literally if the dude from the Perry Bible Fellowship

[00:51:19] made a manga.

[00:51:20] Got a very similar art style too.

[00:51:21] And it's just this stupid shit.

[00:51:23] I guess one like good example from an earlier comic is

[00:51:26] so one of the characters is trying to find something under

[00:51:28] a vending machine and they're trying to figure out what to do.

[00:51:30] And the other character has like a light bulb.

[00:51:32] You know like a like a comic like a light bulb and he grabs

[00:51:35] the light bulb and uses it to illuminate under the vending machine.

[00:51:38] That's fine.

[00:51:39] I like that.

[00:51:40] I like those hammer space jokes where someone just conjures

[00:51:43] something out of nowhere loony tune style.

[00:51:45] What was the name of this one?

[00:51:46] Nick and Lever.

[00:51:47] Nick and Lever.

[00:51:49] Yeah.

[00:51:50] Very well done pencil drawings too.

[00:51:52] Oh yeah look at this art style damn.

[00:51:54] Yeah it's legitimately if you had told me the guy from

[00:51:57] the Perry Bible Fellowship just like was it fucking like

[00:52:00] witness protection and moved to Japan and made this I would believe you.

[00:52:03] I see what you mean about that yeah.

[00:52:05] Oh man.

[00:52:06] Oh god all right so Jordan I would say this is not the

[00:52:09] worst thing we have ever covered on this show would you agree?

[00:52:12] I would say so as well also not the best thing but hey you know.

[00:52:16] Can't always be.

[00:52:17] Can't always be time paradox go straighter.

[00:52:19] Oh god all right well let's get into wrap up and

[00:52:22] end this show how's that sound.

[00:52:23] Let's do it.

[00:52:24] Cool.

[00:52:25] Jess thank you so much we could not have asked for a more

[00:52:27] exciting guest to be on our hundredth episode.

[00:52:30] Oh shucks.

[00:52:31] Keep this between us but Jordan has been you have been very

[00:52:34] high at Jordan's like wish list for guests on the show.

[00:52:36] Yes it's true.

[00:52:37] But just keep that between us.

[00:52:39] Aw shoot.

[00:52:40] Oh thanks David.

[00:52:41] It's embarrassing me.

[00:52:43] Embarrassing me in front of Senpai David.

[00:52:47] That is very nice of you to say I'm honored.

[00:52:50] I did not know I was going to be on the hundredth episode

[00:52:52] now I feel like out of place and special.

[00:52:54] I didn't know either was a little surprise when I arranged

[00:52:56] that for episode 100.

[00:52:58] Congratulations on the hundredth episode.

[00:53:00] Thank you.

[00:53:01] Oh my god.

[00:53:02] Oh my god.

[00:53:03] legitimate.

[00:53:04] Oh school tenders will be at that before you know it.

[00:53:06] Oh god.

[00:53:07] 45 by the time.

[00:53:09] Oh god.

[00:53:10] We're up to episode 1213.

[00:53:12] I don't know when this comes out though so I might be.

[00:53:15] This will be out in two weeks from recording.

[00:53:18] Probably 14 then by then.

[00:53:20] I don't know.

[00:53:21] Nice.

[00:53:22] Every day you get closer.

[00:53:25] And Jess where can they find school tenders and all of the

[00:53:27] other great things you do?

[00:53:28] Oh boy.

[00:53:29] You can find Skull Tenders which is a actual play D&D

[00:53:32] podcast and don't know don't run away.

[00:53:35] Come back come back.

[00:53:36] Wait wait wait.

[00:53:37] It's good though.

[00:53:38] It's funny though.

[00:53:39] I swear to god.

[00:53:40] It's pretty good.

[00:53:41] I can attest to that.

[00:53:42] I've listened to it pretty good.

[00:53:44] Yeah it's like it's more like a radio play that was

[00:53:47] made up on the fly.

[00:53:48] You know so we make all this shit up on the fly.

[00:53:50] We have a bunch of fun.

[00:53:51] Intriguing and then I put a bunch of sound effects and

[00:53:53] music all over this thing so it sounds professional.

[00:53:56] Can you give us a sound fact right now for the audience?

[00:53:59] Oh a sound fact right now.

[00:54:01] This sound is my favorite sound in the world and I try

[00:54:06] really hard to put it in every episode somewhere but

[00:54:09] it's hard to tell where it's hard to tell where it

[00:54:11] is because I fuck up the sound and make it sound

[00:54:13] different.

[00:54:14] So it just so organically fit into our recording right

[00:54:17] now.

[00:54:18] How do you do it?

[00:54:19] Yeah.

[00:54:20] Just fitting in those sound effects.

[00:54:22] Nothing happened I just opened the door actually.

[00:54:24] Yeah my doctor in her head she was very confused.

[00:54:27] I would love to know the history of this sound god

[00:54:30] I'm just fixated on it.

[00:54:31] It's all over.

[00:54:32] You watch the X files?

[00:54:34] God every episode there's a goddamn squee poo in

[00:54:36] that thing.

[00:54:37] The whalem scream of door opening sounds.

[00:54:39] Everywhere I love it.

[00:54:40] It's like I've seen an old friend from across

[00:54:42] the way every time I hear it but yeah like

[00:54:44] I try to like I slow it down.

[00:54:46] I put a bunch of weird reverb on it.

[00:54:48] Like I speed it up.

[00:54:49] I only use half of the front half or the back

[00:54:51] half of it so it's like where's Waldo but

[00:54:53] audio style.

[00:54:54] It's remixing sound effect.

[00:54:55] If you want to look out for my squee poos.

[00:54:57] Well I'm definitely going to do that now.

[00:54:59] Yeah.
