Weird Sports Tech: Basketball's Glass Court Revolution?
The beloved World World Variety podcast makes its triumphant return with host Matt diving straight into an eclectic mix of strange news and passionate commentary.
Ever wondered what it would be like to play basketball on glass? Matt explores a German company's ambitious proposal to replace traditional hardwood courts with LED glass panels, creating dynamic visual experiences for viewers and players alike. The possibilities seem endless – customizable playing lines, animated graphics, and evolving visual displays – but at what cost? The segment thoughtfully examines both the exciting technological potential and concerning drawbacks of this innovation, from visual overload to the inevitable increase in advertising.
The show takes a fascinating detour through April Fool's Day history, uncovering centuries-old origins that might surprise you. Did you know the holiday potentially dates back to 16th-century France when King Charles IX moved New Year celebrations? Matt shares his personal strategy of completely avoiding social media on April 1st to escape the deluge of hoaxes and misinformation – a relatable approach for many listeners.
The episode delivers a satisfying update on the infamous golden toilet heist from Blenheim Palace, where thieves who stole a $6 million solid gold functional artwork have finally faced justice. Their downfall? A trail of poorly concealed text messages and digital evidence – a cautionary tale about crime in the digital age.
The most passionate segment arrives with Matt's deep dive into anime culture, where he defends Solo Leveling against criticism from One Piece fans while offering thoughtful commentary on toxic fandom behaviors. His breakdown of upcoming Spring 2025 anime releases showcases his genuine enthusiasm for the medium while providing valuable recommendations for viewers of all experience levels.
What strange news stories have caught your attention lately? Are you excited about any upcoming anime releases? We'd love to hear your thoughts!
Thank you. What's going on world? What's going on world? It is World World Variety with Matt, your host, and we're bringing it back. I know we have been gone for a while, I know things have been a little bit crazy, but we are bringing it back and I've got all kinds of weirdness for you, some funny stuff we're going to be doing this week. We're going to be doing an anime section, since we haven't done an anime section in a while. So, yeah, we're gonna go ahead and get started right on that. So let's transition to our first weird news story of the week. Let's get it going, let's get it popping, all right.
Speaker 1:So it's been a while since we've done any sports and I thought this one was interesting because it affects a lot of what we see on TV. So if you watch sports, some of you might like different sports, some of you might not. If you have a certain sport, please comment below or let us know what kind of sport that you like. But this one involves basketball. Now, basketball, admittedly, is not my favorite sport to watch on TV. It's kind of like I know I'm going to catch a lot of hate for this it's kind of like basketball is OK to watch. It's more of a background thing for me. I think it's more interesting when you're at the game, so I kind of view it as like baseball, whereas, like, I'd rather be there experiencing it than watching it on TV, because watching on on TV is kind of it's okay. There's some crazy things that happens during basketball games which make it a little bit more exciting than, let's say, golf or tennis or or racing or things like that. So, yeah, I'm probably going to catch a lot of hate for that, but that's okay. Everybody's got their sports that they like to watch. I also sit around and turn on soccer in the background, and that's a background sport for me.
Speaker 1:I think a major area of sports that I like is just the college realm. I know a lot of people like professional sports, but for me I like the college realm because the college realm is more exciting, a little bit less predictable than some of the professional sports, because some of the professional sports involve a lot of money, although, to be honest, college sports is getting to the point where there's a lot of money involved too. So it may not be long before I stop watching sports altogether, but the college sports realm is still decently fun to watch, and preferably. For me, college football is where my realm is at as far as, like basketball is concerned. College basketball is exciting too. It gets a little bit more exciting during march madness, and then of course, there's the nba. The nba is is kind of back and forth. I don't know, I honestly don't have a love for nba, but it's. It's still fun to watch with friends or have on the background. So we're gonna be talking about sports. The reason why is because this affects a lot of basketball.
Speaker 1:So if this were to be a thing, so this article that I'm reading here, if this were to come to pass, let's say if this idea was to come to pass, it would change a lot of the basketball game as a whole and how we look at what we're watching, say, on TV. It could be good, could be bad. Let's get into the pros and cons of each one, ok, so first off, the article itself. Hardwood is basketball's longtime foundation. A Germany company would love to change that to glass. Now, germany does have a lot of tech that they bring to the floor in the world, so no pun intended, but they actually do a lot of tech, and I'm sure if you know about German car companies and things like that. They're big and influential in the tech space. So for the fact that they'd like to change hardwood to glass in basketball courts, I've got to assume there's some tech involved. That's just my assumption, based on what it sounds like. All right, um, so let's see a little bit through.
Speaker 1:Okay, so this one says uh, chris thornton loves to talk about playing basketball on the most fragile sounding surfaces glass. Why, okay, a German company building floors made of fused-together layers of safety glass? Okay, first of all, it's safety glass covering LED panels. Now, what did I say? If it's involved Germany, there's got to be some tech involved. So this is where it starts. The courts are far more dynamic visual feast with customized playing lines, logos, colors, animated graphics and advertisement with multiple sorts, with multiple sports, not multiple sorts, all right. So this is where my issue comes in. All right. Issue comes in All right.
Speaker 1:First of all, if you watch sports in your sports connoisseur, or you, in your friends, watch sports a lot, you'll notice that there's ads in everything. Now, and I mean it practically runs everything. You can't even go online without seeing an ad. You can't read an article without seeing an ad. You can't do anything online without seeing an ad now, and there's a lot of advertising in sports right now, to begin with. So for the fact that they want to add LED panels to the floor, obviously you know where I'm going with this.
Speaker 1:There's some pros and cons, the pros being yes, we get a more interesting court to watch. Also, con might drive your family's eyes crazy, depending on what they put on the court. Now you're talking LED panels like this is basically like playing on a huge TV, like these guys would be playing basketball on a huge TV and the court could change colors and do all kinds of crazy stuff. Pros and cons on a huge TV and the court could change colors and do all kinds of crazy stuff. Pros and cons Again pro, you'd have a more interesting back court. You'd have a more interesting TV experience. Con right away.
Speaker 1:Tech is hackable. I'm just going to say it. Tech is hackable, so I don't see this going well at all. If you have anything with an LED panel, a computer, a TV screen, a monitor, it is hackable. Now, granted the NBA and professional sports, they already have LED panels and monitors and stuff and we do fine with them. Whatever already have led panels and monitors and stuff and we do fine with them, whatever.
Speaker 1:I'm just saying, with a target that big, someone's going to want to hack it, I'm sure. Uh, so there's that problem. The other problem is visually. Um, you could also drive people's eyes crazy, especially if they're older and they're watching the court that's changing a million colors and doing a million different animations. Third thing that might be bad is just the distraction from the game, so you're no longer watching the game, you're watching a, basically TV within a TV, which is wild. And then the last part is it's easy to distract players with a court that's animated. I'm sure it's not going to make it easier for them, although a lot of pros would be like well, you can play on anything if you're a professional, well, that's fine. But I'm still seeing the fact that you might be distracted just a little bit if your court is changing colors and doing things without your knowledge right below your feet.
Speaker 1:And the last bad thing that I see with this is they're going to use it for too much advertising and it's going to be already blown out of proportion more than it already is. And advertising today just is too much. There's too much ads on everything and you can't even enjoy the game anymore. There's no. I mean, they're getting back to creativity with some of the jerseys and designs that they're making, but at one point there were so many ads on the jersey and everything that they it just didn't look that great. So I don't know. You know, let me know what you think. I don't know if this is a good thing. This is definitely interesting and definitely up there with one of the crazier ideas. What? Let me know what you would think of an LED court. I know, as a kid I probably would have loved it, but in professional sports, I don't know, I really don't. So, yeah, let me know. April Fool's Day just happened. So I didn't want to record on April Fool's Day because, yeah, I didn't want to be taken as a joke. Quite literally, all right, joke, quite literally, all right.
Speaker 1:So with our April Fool's article, april Fool's Day is celebrated with pranks and hoaxes worldwide. Now, I knew that we celebrated it here in America, but I didn't know how it worked around the world. I guess it is a worldwide thing. Let's check in and see what happened here, from France to Iceland to the United States, april Fool's Day will be celebrated on Tuesday, with practical jokes and elaborate hoaxes. So to make sure to triple check viral posts. You know, honestly, I don't even look at the internet that day. I don't look at my phone. I try to avoid my phone because basically everything that you see online is probably a lie or a hoax. So I try not to look at anything and we kind of agreed in my family to not look at the phone at all on April Fool's Day because it's all bogus.
Speaker 1:Your location. It could be marked with a fish secretly pinned to someone's back, or a whoopee cushion, or even news reports of flying penguins. Yes, that actually happened in the us. Pranks are typically followed by screams of april fools to make sure all are aware of the unsuspecting recipient of a practical joke. Here are some things to to know about April Fool's Day and its history. Where did it come from?
Speaker 1:There are plenty of theories about where this day of pranks and hoaxes came from. It's not clear exactly which one might be true, but what is clear is that April Fool's Day has roots stretching back hundreds of years. One idea is that it dates back to France in 1564, with King Charles IX moved the New Year celebration from its week-long observance beginning March 25th to a celebration on January 1st, according to the Library of Congress, congress Congress. Those who forgot or who were never told about the change were mocked, although the library notes that the true history of the new year is more complicated as different parts of the country is reserved on different days. So, as a similar theory ties April Fool's Day to the 1582 change from the Julian of the Gregorian calendar, according to the library, but it explains that this type of origin story has been used to explain several holidays and maybe more of a migratory legend, could be connected to the march 21st, vernal equinox, which is known as a day when people are tricked by unexpected weather changes.
Speaker 1:Interesting, according to encyclopedia britannica, whatever its origin, the first time there was clear documented reference to the day was in 1561, when the Flemish writer Edward I don't know how to say this Edward de Dene I think it's D-E-N-E, d-e-n-e. You can you know what you can debate about that yourselves Wrote in his poem about a nobleman sending his servant on pointless tasks. According to the library of congress, the servant soon realizes that he has been sent on a fool's errand because it's april 1st. There you go. Where do you guys think it came from? That's some cool theories, uh.
Speaker 1:And what are your favorite pranks? I know, for it's always these like I can see them coming a mile away. But, like when I go online and I look for new movies or new TV shows, these pranks are usually like posters or things they try to announce that are like the most absurd TV and news shows. Or they might try to trick the public into like oh, they're going to announce a season two, or they announced a season two, or whatever. And when you know it's just bogus because we don't get shows that fast, or you know you don't get your show that fast, or whatever. So yeah for me, and drink water here. For me. It's got to be that it's got to be bogus, because a lot of the shows that I watch do not come out that fast. All right, so please, yeah, why don't you guys tell us what your favorite April Fool's prank is and let us know where to watch it or if it's recorded online? That would be cool. Next, all right.
Speaker 1:So we did this story a while back and I thought it'd be cool to cover this again because it has an update. If you listen to this show, you remember that we reported on a certain toilet that went missing. Yes, kids I said toilet family, I said missing. Yes, kids. I said toilet Family, I said toilet. Yes, this is toilet talk. We reported on a certain toilet that went missing, and this toilet just happened to be solid gold stolen from an English palace. Well, we got an update today. That's quite interesting because the thief who stole the golden toilet from the English palace got convicted today. So he got caught. Bad guy got caught London. He got caught. Bad guy got caught London. A thief who swiped a golden toilet from the English palace was convicted Tuesday, along with an accomplice who helped cash in on the spoils of the 18-carat work of art insured for nearly 5 million pounds. Now for our US listeners, that's a little over six million dollars.
Speaker 1:Michael Jones had used a fully functioning one of a kind latrine as he did reconnaissance at Blenheim Palace, the country mansion where British wartime leader Winston Churchill was born. The day before the theft, prosecutors said he described the experience as quote unquote splendid. He returned before dawn on September 14th 2019, with at least two other men armed with sledgehammers and crowbars. They smashed a window and pried the toilet from its plumbing within five minutes, leaving a damaged flood in their wake as they escaped in stolen vehicles. Now, I don't know about you, but that's gotta be one heavy toilet to try to steal. I mean, regular toilets are heavy enough, but have you ever tried to lift a gold one? At least not in my time, I haven't.
Speaker 1:This was an audacious raid which had been carefully planned and executed, prosecutor Sean Saunders said, but those responsible were not careful enough, leaving a trail of evidence in the form of forensics, cctv footage and phone data. The purloined potty has never been recovered, but is believed to have been cut up and sold. Yeah, I think that was what we read in the first story, that the actual toilet itself was cut up and sold, but they caught supposedly the person who did it with his. I don't know if they caught his accomplices, it says, but they definitely caught the thief, which is crazy. Let's put it this way. The satirical work titled America by Italian conceptual artist Mariso Catalean poked fun at excessive wealth. It weighed just over 215 pounds. The value of the gold at the time was 22.8 million or $3.6 million. The piece had previously been on display at the Guggenheim Museum in New York. The museum had offered the work to US President Donald Trump during his first term in office, after he had asked to borrow a Van Gogh painting.
Speaker 1:Jones, 39, was convicted of burglary in Oxford Crown Court. The theft was planned by James Sheen, 40, who previously pleaded guilty to burglary, conspiracy and transferring criminal property. Sheen then worked to broker a deal with Fred Doe to cash in on the haul. Prosecutors said In a series of text messages Sheen referred to the loot as a car, but he was actually talking about the gold. Yeah, that wasn't really hard to piece together. Doesn't take a genius to figure that one.
Speaker 1:If you're going to plan a heist, it's probably not the right way to do it. To be honest, I'll link up with you. I got something right up for your path. Shane told Tone one message. So here's my thing. Nowadays it's so hard, it's so difficult to be a criminal, and here's my reasoning it is so easy to trace. So, like if you use any sort of technology in your quote unquote heist or anything like that, these messages and everything can all be traced Like someone can get a clue on it, someone can find it. There's nothing that you do online or on your phone or whatever that can't be traced. So the fact that they did this heist and they used messages to kind of convey, even though they tried to be cryptic in their messages, y'all still got caught. So the question is who knows where the pieces of toilet is now? Imagine if you're one of these people that bought a piece of toilet. You're like yeah, yeah, I got a gold toilet that I got off a black market. It was just a piece of it, though. All right. Well, enough of toilet talk, but that was crazy. Thank you All right.
Speaker 1:So to our last section of the day. I wanted to do an anime section because we haven't done anime for a long time and we haven't had an anime section on the show, and we've got a few minutes here, I believe. Yes, we got a few minutes here. To wrap it up, I wanted to do an anime section because, number one, we haven't talked about it and, number two, the anime content has been absolute fire.
Speaker 1:Okay, first of all, if you've never watched anime in your life and you're like what is this? This kids cartoon nonsense, which a lot of people are, they're like you know what Anime is? Kids cartoon nonsense. I don't think I'm going to watch it. Well, first of all, you're wrong. Second of all, it's not all for kids. It's quite unsafe for kids sometimes, and sometimes it's purely safe for kids.
Speaker 1:So here's the thing Anime is just another genre of TV in my mind. So I call it, you know, just another TV genre. Because, just like you would watch a streaming service like Netflix or Hulu or I mean you name it there's all kinds of streaming services. Now it is a separate genre of TV. Just like you would watch sports, you would watch drama, you'd watch romance, watch sci fi, watch fantasy, whatever All of that is available in the anime world as well. So the anime is a genre of TV to all the way to not safe for kids and more adult anime. Just like you would have movies where you'd have kids, safe movies and not safe movies. So there you go. So that's kind of a rundown definition of anime.
Speaker 1:Also, if in case you were wondering, a lot of shows and movies that we get today come from the plot lines of anime writers. Sorry if you didn't know that and you feel betrayed by the world. That's how it is. A lot of stuff came from animation writers. Um, a lot of stuff. I mean the plot lines, for a lot of anime is genius and fun and convincing and rewatchable, and that's where all these writers they just get. They just get inspiration from other writers and just bounce ideas off of each other and that's how we end up with these awesome shows.
Speaker 1:So, that being said, a lot of people in the anime community, just like a lot of communities, are very toxic and the funny part is you can tell kind of the fans that like the real anime fans from the people that just watch one show, and then you can tell the people that fans that like the real anime fans from the people that just watch one show, and then you can tell the people that just hate on the show just because it's popular. So the funny part is when you go to watch, when you go to watch stuff like I don't read, I try to avoid reading anything online from any fan ever, because the problem is when you get into a comment section from anything online, you could have the best day of your life and there's going to be something toxic in the comments. So I always tell my my kid to avoid the comment section at all times. Like when you're going online, never look at the comment section, because it's always someone being a troll or someone you know there could be nice people in there, but there's also a ton of people that just want to ruin people's day and that's their whole thing in life. We don't know why. They're just like that. So it's funny because people want to hate on great works of art too. So, like, just because an anime is popular, people want to start hating on it. And you know, they say they have good criticism when they really don't. They can't even back it up because they're just saying anime stereotypes and at that point they're just trying to list off a bunch of things that are similar to other shows so they can justify their hate. It's crazy. And the reason why I say that is because the number one popular anime this year is solo leveling. Sorry, it is. It was worldwide, it was, it took over, it was huge, and not just because, I mean, there was a lot of hype around it, but it was just the whole anime as a plot.
Speaker 1:I've looked at the manual, I've looked at the novel. I've looked at the manhwa. I've looked at the novel. I've looked at the manga. I've looked at the manhwa, the novel and the show itself. I've seen the whole show. I've seen seasons one and two so far. We're hoping that they're going to do a season three.
Speaker 1:Right now it's kind of up in the air because everybody's taking a break to do other projects. That's fine, but I don't really think it's fair that we have to take another break from solo leveling when you've got things like One Piece. And that's the thing. The One Piece fan base is so toxic. They like everything is inferior to One Piece.
Speaker 1:But I tell you what One Piece drives me crazy, because, yeah, I have a controversial take on One Piece, number one the main character. He loses all the time and the only people that save his life is his friends, which it's not a bad thing to lose, guys, there's a lot of learning lessons in losing. But when you're looking at an anime main character, it's it's kind of ridiculous. Like the guy I mean, let's put it this way, we're at over 1500 episodes probably way more than that in one piece and the character does like it shows him kind of getting stronger, but he does the same thing every fight. And not only does he say it does the same thing every fight, he announces it before he does it. He gets beat almost every time and then not only that, but the fight could take like 40 episodes.
Speaker 1:So these One Piece fans are hating on solo leveling because they're all devoted to One Piece. But One Piece is only super popular because there's 1,600 episodes, solo leveling. We've had two seasons, that's it. There's like how many seasons of One Piece? There's so many. There's so many seasons of One Piece, there's so many. There's so many seasons of One Piece.
Speaker 1:But that's the only reason why people are like well, one Piece is the best. It's because there's like over 1,500 episodes, and that's not the case. Like One Piece annoys me, it really does. It's a fun show. Don't get me wrong. I love watching One Piece because I love pirates. So for all of you saying, oh, he's hating on One Piece because he doesn't like One Piece, no, I love pirates, I can watch pirate shows all day. It's just that the characters drive me crazy sometimes and a story like doesn't progress as much as you would think it would and the characters don't progress very much. So they do progress, but it takes a long time. So and that was my issue with the first Naruto season to the first Naruto season was really slow when we got to Shippuden. I think that was everybody's favorite because the pacing started to catch up and then we started to see more mature storylines and more things happening in the village and things like that. So, yeah, that's my take on it.
Speaker 1:Feel free to to hate on that all you want, but all you one piece stands out there like I can't stand you because you, you just it's one piece is what it is. It's a great show, but it's it's got an MC character who's, I'm sorry, dumb as heck and he doesn't fight very well and he gets beat all the time. He should have been like beaten by now is the safe way of putting it, but he's not. Because of all these other things and mostly because of the stereotype tropes that y'all one piece hater, the One Piece stands say that every other anime has. So you know what? I don't want to hear it, all right. So that's my rant on that. One Piece is a good show though. So if you're looking for a pirate show, that is fun, it is a good show.
Speaker 1:I'm not going to say it's not a good show. I love a lot of anime. So I'm not just gonna hate on anime. I criticize, but I don't hate. I'm not doing the work. The work is amazing. I'm never going to like say, oh, they didn't do any work, like no, like every anime show that is in depth and the animation. Like you should see some of the behind the scenes of these animations. They're just insane and the amount of work they put in is fantastic.
Speaker 1:For me, I love solo leveling, this second season and the first season. Some people didn't like the first season. I love the first season. It set our story up. It was great, the conspiracy and mystery and the plot behind solo leveling.
Speaker 1:A lot of people don't get it yet they think they get it but they don't really get it. So they keep saying it's a stereotypical trope of other anime when it's not so. It's just how far we get into it. A lot of people are saying that the third season is where it really picks up, which I'd have to agree. I don't even know all the spoilers yet, but I know it gets really crazy in season three.
Speaker 1:And as far as other animes, like the mainstream animes, I still love them all. Guys, like I'm not going to hate on anime, I'm not hating on anime, I'm just saying I still love them all. They're just certain things about certain animes that drive you a little crazy, but they're bearable, but they're bearable. So, that being said, but they're bearable, but they're bearable. So, that being said, we've had so many anime go crazy in the last year. I don't know how you can just pick one. To be honest, I don't know how people can say, well, one piece is the best, or solo leveling is the best, or bleach is the best. I love them all, even the crappy anime, even the anime that they don't spend any time on and you see mistakes and things like that. It's so funny to watch and it's. If it's an enjoyable storyline and it's just enjoyable to watch, I don't have a problem with it. So I don't know.
Speaker 1:I think there's people that like to love to hate on anime because they want to criticize every little thing. But then you got your people that just love anime. Period, we'll watch almost everything under the sun and just will enjoy it for the sake of enjoying it. Those people know joy in life because they found something that they're passionate about, whether it be movies, tv shows, anime, whatever and they're just having fun. They go to work, they go through a hard week, whatever they got to do, they go home and they watch anime and TV shows, and those people aren't hurting anybody. So I don't, I don't see the problem with it. So I wanted to talk about 2025. We are hitting spring because we just passed April Fool's Day and it is April. The April drops are here.
Speaker 1:I wanted to talk about a few anime that might be on your radar, might not be on your radar Fire Force. Do I recommend it for kids? No, fire Force is really intense. It is a weird one. It's definitely not your typical story. It's definitely a weird one, but it is an extremely captivating and intense anime and there's a lot of fighting scenes, a lot of mystery, a lot of conspiracy around the whole thing. There's different organizations, there's all kinds of stuff. Without spoiling it, there's just all kinds of craziness. And this, this one mc, is wrapped around making friends, going from not having any friends to having a bunch of friends. So it is a really good anime. Do I recommend it for families? Not really, because of how intense and crazy and violent some of the scenes get. But is it a great anime? Yes, we have Fire Force Season 3 coming back.
Speaker 1:My Hero, which is more family friendly. This one I'm not sure because I haven't seen this, but this one's called my Hero Academia, vigilantes. As you can guess if you haven't seen my Hero, my Hero Academia is based off superheroes and villains and that's the whole entire plot line. And Vigilantes is for those heroes that never really found like a legal hero license or didn't have a legal hero license or couldn't qualify or whatever. They start doing hero work on their own. Some people would call them vigilantes, some people would call them mercenaries. You know the whole deal. So it's kind of that in-between thing. So that's what that film is going to be about. We have One Piece coming back and all the One Piece fans are going to be going crazy. I know I am almost caught up with One Piece Still not my favorite season. It is crazy.
Speaker 1:His new anim, his new power, is cool to a point, but the animation is so loony tunes I just can't get on board with it. Um, and I know that's how it's supposed to be from what I've heard from manga readers and things like I know that's what it's supposed to be like. It's supposed to be kind of comical and that kind of thing. But it's like this guy takes so long to get stronger and then he gets a new power and it's so Looney Tunes-esque. And it's weird because I want to say One Piece isn't one piece in the anime, right? So why is it like his new powers? Somebody correct me if I'm wrong. But his new powers is kind of like somebody else from another nation, if you know where I'm getting at.
Speaker 1:Ok, and then there's the beginning after the end. This one was supposed to be monumental, like solo leveling was, but I've heard that it's being done by the wrong studio. So who knows if this will be good at all. Some people are not holding out hope, but a lot of people are the beginning after the end. I haven't seen it, but I don't think I would recommend it for kids. One Piece is more mainstream, my Hero is more mainstream. So those are more family oriented than some of the other shows.
Speaker 1:The Apothecary, the Apothecary, apothecary Diaries, season 2 now I haven't seen this, but I've heard it's a phenomenal show. It's all based on mystery. Got to check it out sometime. Yet not exactly family friendly, not family friendly at all, but it's like one of those mysteries. Like how do I compare it? It's just a good mystery and romance anime and I think a lot of people really enjoy it. I really would like to check it out.
Speaker 1:All right, and then other things coming. We have Windbreaker coming back. Windbreaker is an interesting show. It's a backdrop of troublemaking students that love to fight. But there's a twist the troublemaking students are respected by the community because they protect their community, and this anime is about one main character and the surrounding friends that he makes, and then this whole school and the way they protect their community and then how, like these different plots uh, coincide with other communities and problems with rival gangs and all this other kind of stuff. So it's an interesting, interesting anime. We have a bunch of other stuff coming out, but those are the main ones coming out. And then summer we have a bunch of more huge drops which I can't talk. That was a bunch of more, bunch of more cheap drops. All right, but yeah, we have a bunch of drops and uh, let's say, the one anime that's not so popular that I have thoroughly liked so far is um is called the Unaware Atlier Meister.
Speaker 1:So what's really cool about this one is this guy is an adventurer. So typical kind of like kicked out of the hero party story, where this guy is an adventurer. He's kind of useless in the hero party. The hero party disrespects him, kicks him out, treats him like crap, and then he goes to apply for work and they find out that this kid is really good at building things. So his skills are like S tier and like building and in alchemy and different things like that. So so when he goes to do like these, the extremely Monday projects, he finishes them like not only fast but with crazy quality. So he ends up getting recognized by nobles and people that work under nobles and just all this other crazy stuff that happens to him and it looks like a really fun. So far it's wholesome, so it looks decent. So I'm definitely checking that one out.
Speaker 1:There's quite a few others. If you want to see the whole lineup, go to Crunchyrollcom anime season lineup. There's also other websites that have different anime websites, so there's another list that has different anime websites as well. As far as like other anime, there's Hulu releasing some. There's Netflix. Far as like other anime, there's hulu releasing some. There's netflix. There's um high dive releasing some and several other animes coming out as well. So keep on the lookout for those. There's highly anticipated animes coming out this april and it's going to be a lot of fun. Oh, and I think that was good for one day, so I'm going to get off here and I will see y'all next week and, uh, no-transcript.
