This week, Jared and I continue the trend of watching live action adaptations of anime/manga with Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable Chapter 1. (Say that three times fast!) We talk about how the crazy aesthetics of Jojo translate into live action, how they handled stands, the insane acting ability of Kento Yamazaki, why Jotaro is 50, how they truncated the series and what we think about that, and the future of the live action film series.

Almost a year ago, Jared and I talked about the anime Orange. I really loved it, and so when Jared and I found out that there was a live action film (via the main actor also staring in live action Jojo), we decided to chat about it. We talk about what’s different, how the story translates, and Maxwell tells us all how he feels.

Recently, I decided to binge watch Hi Score Girl while on my elliptical, and since Jared had already watched the Japanese version, we decided to chat about it this week! We explore the world of Japanese arcades in the 90s, the unique art and characters, and why Guile should always be your moral compass.

Ages ago, Jared and I discussed Final Fantasy X-2. Jared argued that Final Fantasy X-2 was a much better game than Final Fantasy X and has since argued that FFX is a bad game. With the rerelease of the HD versions, I finally got Jared to play through Final Fantasy X with me, and so on this episode, we discuss the laughing scene, the fantastic character development and my forever love of Rikku, our thoughts on Tidus as a deuteragonist (Yuna is a deuteragonist y’all) and character, and whether Jared still thinks Final Fantasy X is a bad game.

Have you ever wondered what being a clone is like? What if you found yourself stuck on an island with a ragtag group of folks that range from an heiress, a farmer, a children’s doctor, a writer, a cop, a flower shop owner, a rope enthusiast, or a child with robot prosthetics? What if all these people were led by two mascot characters on a television show to confront their dark pasts? What if all of this was created with some of the Danganronpa team? Well, all the and more is in Zanki Zero: Last Beginning! We talk about what works, what doesn’t, and spoilers galore.

This week on the SAC OVA, we ask of you remember the DL-6 incident. A lot. We’re discussing the very first Ace Attorney series, which is nearing 20 years old now. We talk about the development history, all the cases, and how sometimes you just have to have spiky hair, cross-examine a parrot, and yell “OBJECTION!” a lot.

What a variety of topics we have here today on SAC OVA! Jared and I recently read through the light novel and manga of I Want to Eat Your Pancreas, so we talk about the story, what we liked and didn’t like, and what we’re looking forward to seeing in the movie. After that, we move into the wild world of Pop Team Epic since some new episodes were released for April Fool’s Day. We get more references, more insanity, and MORE SHOUTA AOI! <3

This week, Jared and I reach into the grab bag, and we talk about several games that we played while he was visiting me for spring break! We talk about Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, Sailor Moon, Sailor Moon R, Sailor Moon S: Jougai Rantou!? Shuyaku Soudatsusen, Sailor Moon Super S: Fuwa Fuwa Panic, Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy’s Kong Quest, K-ON! Houkago (After School) Live! HD Ver., and Jared briefly talks about Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and AL talks a bit about The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel. Y’all, my mind is blown that the actual title of DKC2 is Diddy’s Kong Quest not Diddy Kong’s Quest. I have never realized this, and it’s been out for decades. I PLAYED IT SO MUCH AS A KID, and I never knew!!!
