Ep. 187 Premium - #severheads [VIDEO]

Comments

i actually study physics and hearing them talk about the phases and matter and time crystals and shit was genuinely so rough. NOO THE FUNNY INTERNET MEN ARE BEING INCORRECT ABOUT SOMETHING I CARE ABOUT NOOOOO

jeephater90

The anime conversation made me remember when I was in high school, a classmate and I found out each other liked anime and in some small talk I asked him what his favorite one was and bro really straight faced said “Testament of Sister New Devil” and knowing my anime titles I knew that had to be an ecchi (I was correct) or an isekai and I have seen a few episodes since (I made an ecchi drinking game in college) it’s…. Omfg I found out too much about that classmate that day

Corn

MADOKA MAGICA MENTIONED OMFG amazing show

Corn

I get that you can't binge it because the episodes come out weekly, but try to have some patience

Tyler Horn

this generation is doomed if it can't wait 4 episodes for the biggest plot point of the entire show. that's wild

Severance is the slowest show in recent memory, the fuck do you mean it wraps up arcs in a few episodes, Mark has been reintegrating since episode 3

Joshua Haskett

Severance crits valid, especially this most recent episode (episode 8) Ludwig literally watches CP on his peleton

Joshua Haskett

need to comment to say dandadan is absolute garbage slop and ludwig saying its the best anime in 5 years made me physically recoil i dont trust anything that man recommends anymore

steezfm

I feel like film nerds, such as Nick, usually make fun of people who complain about shows being too boring because of there pacing. I'm surprised he felt that way about Severance which I have always loved because while some shows spend an entire season to work out certain plot points, Severance usually ties them up in a few episodes. So much crazy shit has happened and the show only has 16 episodes total so I don't know how anyone could think it's slow. But then he said "issaKai" and now I'm back on board

Tyler Horn

that's mark scout, not mark s... i'll see myself out

Tyler Horn

Honestly you'd think Nick would love it given he's a director videographer guy and the show is just beautiful especially the most recent episode

Johl

Yeah definitely like 99% Nick. He's funny and probably a good comedy writer but I genuinely don't think he knows Jack about drama writing. If it was slime I'd still be annoyed but at least he has the credentials to back it up.

Johl

I feel like only Nick was acting that way but yeah I agree

Tyler Horn

do you think people in their 20's playing high schoolers is the same as animation where visually the characters can only be perceived as high schoolers?

Tyler Horn

same! how can I trust anything else a show has to offer after immediately doing all that to its female protagonist? 😭 lol I'm good

Falka

Just watched the latest episode of severance and how did Nick predict there would deadass be a Mark S puts together IKEA furniture segment

Jimmy

Watching the episode out of order knowing what happens on Friday makes me feel so bad for Ludwig

Tyler Cousins

Three of them are on the screen buddy

Sleeepy Shadow

You just don't have to watch the anime with underage sex scenes. You can just watch Vinland Saga or something.

Ryan Abouchedid

I back up Lud that Dan Da Dan is a certified banger with a killlllller opening.

Dylan Paxton

Dan da Dan is actually really really good I recommend watching it for yourself

Levi March

Ludwig defending some to the death is always funny...until it's something you care about then I feel secondhand embarrassment like never before.

JuanM

yeah i get why the first episode can be a bit rough. but honestly i've read far worse alien abduction scenes in fiction. It adds suspense, but the 'gobble your schlong' line kinda gives the rest of the chapter an absurdist lens for me. lud honestly gave just about the worst description for it possible lmao, not the most stunning review!

Taro

dan da dan is actually good ludwig is right its one of those shows where you have to just cringe and watch it for context for more of the show. its a comedy

dmr

Brother I am a day 1 and love this pod very much. Ain't gonna pretend things that bother me don't though. It's a low stakes argument but it's frustrating to listen to. I'm not rallying a hate mob, I'm making a mild criticism.

Nate Weeks

Maybe take a chill pill bro you paid to watch this

Brody Miller

Some of the most insufferable Ludwig has ever been. He's right, but when he argues/explains things with that tone it's like sandpaper on my brain.

Nate Weeks

Lud needs to watch solo leveling now that’s a great peloton show

Gage Cooper

"that's when you're watching isakais cuz nothing is going on in your life" I'm trying bro, I really am

Patrick Straker

ludwig holy shit it is not "Dan" in Dandadan, its pronounced more like "Dondadon", like how the sing it in the opening. Say words right !!!

Gwen

Nick i want you to know the “issa kai” joke was a banger dont let them tell you otherwise

Daimondz

dude my first melee match in a tourney, single elim, 2007, at a local anime convention, me in middle school, I played against a gannondorf main who was just full cosplayed as gannondorf and got my shit kicked in. He won that tourney.

Murkus

woowie !

Aaron R.

Ludwig saying he’s dating an older woman is up there for most unhinged things said on the podcast

Alex

if you think severance is a slow burn try watching From

Abrey

wait which tier is it

Pizzabuffeyy

i had parosmia after covid and it unfortunately lasted a while but eventually went away. something that helped was picking something u know the scent of well (spices, essential oils, etc.) and closing ur eyes and trying to remember what it should smell like while ur smelling it. ik this sounds weird but im pretty sure this is like the doctor recommended method of doing it lol.

Cassie

It wasn't even discussed that much until the anime came out. Then it became a big stink.

Matthew Alvaro

I'm caught up to the manga and I can say all that ends pretty early on. It was just done early on when the mangaka didn't have a direction for the story and that kind of shit is a cheap way to generate buzz. Also to what you said it isn't really sexualized. Nudity isn't inherently sexual and can represent vulnerability, especially paired with the alien abduction mythos of probing and what not.

Matthew Alvaro

At the same time that Lud is better than more people in League than Aiden is better than in Melee, more people are probably better than Lud at League then there are people who play Melee in general.

Matthew Alvaro

Stuff is popular so I must clown on it guy is the worst type of guy

Pranav

wahoo!

Faye852

I really appreciated the Ludwig spoiler hands in the air thing that made me feel good I’m not sure why

Dickass

The people coming to bat for Dan da Dan, the show outside those scenes, pretty good, but to say it isn’t sexualizing the characters when she’s in underwear pinned down by an alien; it’s weird, just like the pseudo rape scenes in sword art online are weird, you don’t have to see titty for it not to be extremely gross

Kevin Reece

That's crazy u should watch ep2 fr

Alex Meiller

Yeah the intro says it a dozen times lmao

Alex Meiller

dandadan is great but its really held back by how it depicts the female lead being assaulted

Kas

Why the hell does Ludwig keep using that as Dandadan's selling point as if the show shows it as a normal or good thing 😭😭

sebz

hey, cool little info, one of my high school acting teachers was the police lieutenants wife in the wire

Z-Byrd

Yk what follows a sunset? A sunrise

REAPERKING

Weebs blowing up the comments, Serbs blowing up the geopolitical sphere we are not the same

Beau Persoon

The DanDaDan slander from Ludwig is so bad, I have to make my first comment on the Patreon to let you know it. Its peak, he is just unfathomably bad at explaining the show.

Draco TheFemboi

Them getting all updity about that shit is funny when like Glee, Riverdale, and most CW shows are like dandandan.

Woodus

Insane that they had the time crystals conversation for a second time

levii

I'll always have a soft spot for reddit because I met so many cool people on r4r, but the community is pretty different now from what it was ten years ago

beebs

the fact that i watched like 2 animes, got to steins gate, loved it, and have been in the trenches since is so funny, how did bro know

Gab Lad

i think nicks fit works

thenewwave

completely right about isekai, rezeros different tho

Duncan Wallace

jesus christ ludwig had to have been doing that on purpose dandadan "sexualizing high schoolers" is like saying the original dragon ball was mostly about "sexualizing kids" because of how goku used to check gender LOL

Kevin Martinez

nick's shirt glowing makes it look like Im watching a flashback memorie

Ryan Nogueira

dandadan episode 7 is very well choreographed

Nick Reed

AND i would rather watch dandandan w my entire family than game of thrones. ESPECIALLY when sansa just flat out gets raped on screen. Its the difference between mentioning something bad and showing it in entirety for no reason.

Isaac sivley

Also talking bout som innies and outies is like saying doggos and puppers

Isaac sivley

I am in line to die for dandandan. Also there is no sex in the show and ludwig just framed it horribly.

Isaac sivley

Man I love steins gate and then went back up for air lol

Evan Federico

Peach supremacy 🙌

Ashton Hellwig

I can’t with this Ludwig guy. bro said Dan da Dan is better than Arcane and said it’s the best anime in past 5 years over JJK which is WILD

Parker Jowers

Dandadan is ight

Joey walnuts

Ludwig doing such a bad job selling DanDaDan 😭 not that any of them would watch it either way but still

Draco

I cannot stand the severance shit talking cause it's like the one drama show where shit does actually happen and y'all are acting like it's as slow as a shifting glacier

Johl

Dandadan would be peak fiction but damn is it fucking wack every other episode

Spicy

aimen complaining about icies chain grab is peak sheik player cognitive dissonance

den

Dandandan is a pretty great show.

Natali

Wasn’t euphoria about high schoolers?

Kyle Cupelli

Dandadan is pretty good but slime saying MAPs fucking took me out

CJ Bingman

Insane how accurate the Steins;Gate example was to how I was introduced to anime. Durarara was my Death Note/FMA, Steins;Gate put me down the rabbit hole and Food Wars was my "I can't explain this to a normal person"

Theo Higgins

this is why it's YouTube Premium these days

Netflix: Red Rooms

the simple answer for being an anime fan and not falling down a loli pipeline is to have a normal moral compas+

Yofted

a real kidneystone of a joke

As someone who’s currently riding a bicycle 500 miles a week in my garage on a stationary trainer, you need a solid 4-6/10 show so you don’t have to pay attention but you’re distracted enough that it makes the time go by faster. That or The Yard podcast because it’s funny (80 miles into my ride today thanks for the patreon Ep.).

Garrett

dandadan is the best show of 2024 I'm waiting for my forehead bullet

shadenfreude

Dandadan is good, episode 7 is standout and amazing.

Scott Brown

mario seeing kai cenat was all time

joey

There are 3 states of matter, unless you're the annoying kid in class, then there's 4. Anything past that and you need a PhD in physics lul

Adrian Dupre

I thought guys from the smash community would get that having something in common with pedos doesn’t make you one

Notsodeadpool15

Slime saying the pirated website activated my tism like a sleeper agent. Spent the following 3 hours on crosswords.

Ryan

Dandadan is unironically heat, still pisses me off on how Ludwig pronounces it tho

Oddish Boi0

yep last i heard it was like 6 or 7, terrible for those folks but insanely oversensationalized by news outlets

Logan Impink

Mark S, what's this an iPhone review? (I'm bad at this)

jmiester26 _

AND we're casting the reeeeel

Jonster Jones

Watch Silo, loveeeeee Rebecca Ferguson (also a great show)

Scoopa

Totally valid. I think in the modern lexicon, loli and lolita are distinct to most people

Jack N

I haven't watched it but I agree

Jack N

It's tang because its the pussy juice of Lilith

Jack N

Mark S Brownlee

Andrew Uddin

Idk what jjk is but it's horny and mid

Andrew Uddin

Dandadan is great show

Lexerz

cream and white is like navy blue and black,,frowned upon but not illegal

Cole Garvais

i wanna watch the super secret episode :(

doddi

I mean, they're both from Lolita, the novel about an old professor who kidnaps and abuses a 12 year old girl. Loli is just short for Lolita Complex, so let's not act like it's some noble split between a fashion trend and trash people. I'm sure you can find just as many things titled Lolita for the trash people as you can for fashion.

Joshua Lopez

No shot he hasn't watched it bro

swindlehadyn

I hereby stand with ludwig & I think dandadan is fire even if it gets me shot by a sniper-rifle

swindlehadyn

I know he's joking but Ludwig saying "He's saving me money" about Shake's Adobe trials is so out of touch it's painful. How much do you make man? Compensate your employee. Coming from a place of love of course. Otherwise I wouldn't be on here.

Dylan

The fact that Aiden didn't point out that there are also way more people that are better than Lud at league than there are people better than Aiden at melee is so funny. Like the numbers game goes both ways, there are more people that are better than Ludwig at league than there are people who play melee actively.

Thothrax

I'll say it, Dan da Dan is a great show. First ep, kind of skeevy, but nothing ultimately happens. Makes your skin crawl though, which is the point. But, character interactions are well written, action goes crazy, the lead is a girl which is rare in a shonen anime, and yeah, Ep 7 will make everyone cry. It's fucking heartbreaking.

Joshua Lopez

I have been watching anime for 10 years and dandadan was the first anime that I strongly disliked after one episode

Mari

Jesus christ Lud. Dandadan is a coming of age story. A kid who loves aliens and believes in them. A girl who lives with her grandmother whose a psychic. She believes in ghost. They end up meeting and make a bet to go to a place each has seen sightings of their respected belief. Only to find out both are real. The boy has to save the girl from the aliens and she has to... get his balls back from the spirit he found. The coming of age has to deal with awkwardness of sex and being a kid and all that jazz. Japan could present these things more, suggestively, but alas they regrettably show it often. I on the other hand understand people not wanting to watch the show because it does show the kids in often suggestive phrasing. But it really is just a whacky time that's not to serious. If it's not your cup of tea then I'd suggest Mob Psycho 100. A coming of age story with supernatural elements much like Dandadan.

Zadkiel _

I love that the Apple Music description is forever tainted by the fact that Slime's twitter name was Aimen Ross when they started it

Thothrax

I hate siding with that whole side of the argument but dandadan is an amazing show. He sold it horribly

Kremit _Frog

Insane to voice this take here and not in a place meant for anime discourse

Valintine142

Dandadan is genuinely just horny & mid JJK and my mind won't be changed

Chase

for the record lolita is not loli, lolita is a cool fashion style and loli/lolicon is the nasty freak shit

PIGEOT

league talk was rough but severance talk is a trudge

paul

Ludwig could not have done a worse job at selling Dandadan. It’s a really good show.

Jamie

Ludwig would love euphoria (I watched it when I was in highschool)

Ango

yeah i wanna say that i hate it for that reason but i also love evangelion so who am i to talk

nell

why did I find "should be impossible" so incredibly funny? the cadence and way he said it had me cackling

Ktoree

That was premium Nick @7:50

Jamie Wallis

Are the people hating Dandadan in your walls

Sam F

about the rivals layoffs - it wasn't the dev team that was laid off but like a 15 person support team in seattle. sucks that people lost their jobs but it wasnt anyone "important"

kyrb

Honestly ppl hatin on Dandadan validates my feelings so thank u

Sleeepy Shadow

Insane to describe dandadan that way, I’ll be the first to admit there is an uncomfortable scene in the first episode but there is no rape or nudity, the other underlying cultural stuff behind that scene is uncomfortable at best and stomach churning at worst but it is an amazing show

Valintine142

Ludwig should 100% watch Attack on Titan, story telling on par/better than death note’s first half & genuine contender best anime of all time across the board

Alserex

also Slime is brave for saying Mulholland Drive sucks

AJKay

The Mulholland Dr. slander hurt my soul.

Brandon Kelly

Ludwig is so funny for describing DanDaDan like that lmaooo

AJKay

Dan Da Dan is really good. The show is creative, refreshing, and beautiful. The anime tropes in it are annoying though.

shiny bidoof

Saying dandadan is the best anime in 5 years is Frieren erasure

Aaron

I dont want to be at work anymore aimen pls save me tank u

ALEX BREEDON

Dan da Dan is a great show, the nudity i feel like is ment to be more of a comical type but obviously either way naked high schoolers is weird

omelet

I really don’t get the severance is too slow now criticism I’m only a few minutes into the pod rn but season 2 has been phenomenal imo

tubbagoob

Gotta love the yard!
