Thanks for listening! There won't be any new episodes after this one for some time.

Here's what we talked about in this episode:

-- Introductions

-- Graphics/Art Style

-- Plot

-- Gameplay/Mechanics

-- Characters

-- Misc. Things

---------

Post Pod Notes:

When I say "this year" at the beginning of the episode (during the intro), I mean 2023.

FE: Engages's break game mechanic reminds me of Honkai Star Rail's and The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III/IV's Break Mechanic. They're not exactly the same, but pretty similar.

When defeating the Corrupted Emblem Antagonists (from past games), I didn't look at the description of the characters. I just considered their title (ex. Demon Dragon). During the episode, I may have said "description", but meant "title" instead.

I mentioned that I thought Kagetsu wearing glasses is meo-shee-seo (멋있어). That is Korean for cool or handsome.

When I start talking about Binding Blade, I mixed things up a bit. I actually played Roy's Paralogue in Engage FIRST, then saw the Let's Play episode of the map in the original game by Nitesco.

The priest guy I was trying to remember is Pandreo.

June Yoon is a fellow voice actor. Ryan and I have both received coaching from him.

The raw audio for this episode was about 2 hours and 50 minutes long. LOL. I managed to cut off quite a bit.

Thanks for listening! Ryan and I were still able to see each other's video, but only the audio was recorded. So, some reactions or things said may not necessarily make sense since you can't see us. 

---------

Here's what we talked about in this episode:

-- Introductions

-- Ryan's Anime Preferences (I briefly mention mine)

-- Honorable Mentions

-- Ryan's Top 10

-- My Top 10

-- Closing Remarks

---------

Post Pod Notes:

I do feel like I am "kind of" leaning towards the Slice of Life genre of anime as I get older, but I still very much love watching shows like D-Gray Man and Sailor Moon. 

My Genshin pulling luck is terrible. It's either 50/50 or guaranteed pity, no in-between. lol. At least, that's what it feels like and what I happen to notice usually. Although, Nahida came home pretty early, about 50 or less pulls. 

It takes about 3 hours to drive from my house to Washington D.C. It takes not too much over 2 hours to drive to New York, which is what I was probably thinking when Ryan and I were recording this episode. D.C. is farther than I remembered. 

The guy Ryan and I couldn't remember from Demon Slayer was Tomioka Giyu, the half/half robe, the better Sasuke guy. lol.

MY PODCAST IS BACK! For now. LOL. It feels really good to be podcasting again. I have a few more episodes planned/to work on, and then I may go on another hiatus. MAYBE! This episode was recorded on Oct. 8, 2022. 

---------

Here's what we talked about in this episode:

-- Introductions

-- Childhood/Past Crushes

-- Current Anime Crushes

-- Current Video Game Crushes

-- Other Crushes

-- Closing Remarks

---------

Post Pod Notes:

The one character from Jujutsu Kaisen whose name I couldn't remember was Itadori Yuji. He isn't a crush, just wanted to mention that he's a favorite character of mine from the series. I also really like Inumaki Toge. He is a semi-crush for me. When talking about my Legend of Heroes: Trails crushes, I forgot to mention Rean Schwarzer. He's part of the reason why/how I got into the series in the first place. lol. I really like his Cold Steel III design. I also forgot to mention Kiro from Mr. Love: Queen Choice. I have never played the game, but I have seen some gameplay and screenshots/fanart of characters from the game. 

I do have anime merch! I can't believe I forgot about the Dazai plush my best friend gifted me. According to Bulbapedia, the Pokemon move Hypnosis has a 60% or 70% accuracy rate depending on which generation the game is part of. Male and Female Robin have different supports with Chrom in FE: Awakening. The crazy bath stuff happens between Female Robin and Chrom. 

I just wanted to clarify that in regards to Sword Art Online, I have only seen season 1 and 2. I believe I mentioned I saw things after those, and what I meant is that I saw the announcements being made on stuff on social media, not the actual episodes of the series themselves. Ryan and I have a mutual friend who goes by the name of PopSparkle. Sometimes we shorten her name to Pop.

This is the last episode I'll be posting for a while. In other words, my podcast will be on indefinite hiatus. I really want to take the time to focus on voice acting. I also changed the domain name of my website. It is now meenasharonkim.media. Ricky was a fantastic guest, and I would like to have him back on at some point in the future. 

---------

Here's what we talked about in this episode:

-- Introductions

-- Genshin Impact Identities

-- Thoughts on Genshin Impact (ex. story quests, events, hangouts)

---------

Post Pod Notes:

I had started a Legend of Heroes: Trails Review series, but to be honest, I'm not sure I want to make my thoughts into podcast episodes anymore. I don't hate, but I also don't like taking notes as I play. I don't mind giving my thoughts on games and other things, but maybe I'll just talk what comes to mind, like for this episode about Genshin Impact. Maybe I didn't particularly like how I was organizing my thoughts. I didn't throw out the outlines I already made. I was thinking about putting my thoughts into Off the Pod notes, but maybe I will still record my thoughts. I haven't decided. 

I prefer to use sword and polearm characters, but exceptions for me are Sayu and Childe. I don't use them a lot, but I do from time to time. I tend to use Sayu when fighting the Geo Cube by myself.

I want to edit my Vision Story a little. I believe at some point I mentioned how I met Ayaka and began helping her out. Instead of gaining my vision defending kids from hilichurls, I get it when I become an honorary member of the Yashiro Commission/Kamisato Clan. I always wanted to be someone to defend others if they need me, to give help when I can. I enjoyed helping my father at his restaurant, but I have a greater reach being with Ayaka and the Yashiro Commission and Kamisato Clan. I'll still help him out from time to time though. =D My resolve was strengthened after meeting Ayaka. 

This episode was recorded before the 2.6 update.

The English VA of Itto is Max Mittelman. 

When my best friend and I play together during our Beat Up Childe hangouts, nowadays, we fight Azhdaha, Childe, and the Raiden Shogun together. We used to fight all the weekly bosses and do level 5 bounties. 

I think my best character in terms of crit rate/damage percentages is Ayato. I am getting better at choosing artifacts for my characters, but I will never be an expert. I believe Zhongli and Albedo when put on the same team have dealt the most damage for me so far. They deal at least 20K+ damage from time to time, which is a lot better than before. 

The character stats that I mentioned in this episode are probably not the same as they are now. I gave Ayato a crown before Albedo. It was just easier to work towards giving Ayato his first crown before Albedo.

June and now Alex have taken on the Guess that Anime challenge given the plot. This episode and the episode with June Yoon were really fun to record. 

I'm going to get rid of my podcast Twitter soon (relative to the posting of this episode).

Post Pod Notes:

Isekai is a sub-genre of fantasy. The main thing is that the main character is transported from their original world to another. The English voice actor for Joseph Joestar in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is Ben Diskin. Billy Kametz is the English voice actor for Josuke Higashikata and Crazy Diamond. Koro-sensei from Assassination Classroom Birthday: March 13. 

The first Pokemon games, Red and Green (in Japan), were released February 1996. The anime premiered April 1997. The average drinking age in Europe is 18.

I kept saying top 10 until I finally corrected myself with top 5, but.....uh......oops. lol. 

June and I started recording a little after 8 PM PST (11 PM EST). We both had to work the next day, but it was especially late for me, and I had to wake up early the next day.

Sorry the "digitally" sounding audio especially with my audio at one part. The internet wasn't the greatest for me the day of recording. It actually dropped out for a little bit. I think the audio overall for me and my guest Alex is pretty good even still. 

Here's what we talked about in this episode:

-- Pokemon World Identities

-- Pokemon Honorable Mentions

-- Top 10 Favorite Pokemon

-- Our Full Teams

-- Ending Remarks

---------

Post Pod Notes:

When I tell Alex about the part in Pokemon Sun/Moon of Kukui being asked if he was cold, I meant to say League, not Center. I meant to say Kimono Girls not Ka/Komona Girls. There is a point in the podcast when Alex and I talk about the middle stages of starter pokemon, and the one time, I meant to say 2nd not 3rd. Dewott is a solid pokemon. 

Other legendaries/mythicals I like include Celebi and Suicune. This episode was recorded the day before the Pokemon Legends Arceus release for North America. Alex and I live in the Eastern Standard Timezone. Alex meant to say Ghost not Gas when referring to Haunter's typing.

Thank you guys for being so patient with me and my podcast. I had so much fun talking with Alex about this episode's topic! I apologize for certain noises such as my chair creaking that I couldn't take out. I have a tendency to shift in my chair, so yeah. haha. The episode was recorded on October 23. There is a bit of mention of certain things that may not necessarily be the most accurate because of the time that has passed, but there shouldn't really be any confusion hopefully. Some distortions in sound are present because I kept peaking at times. Sorry about that. Got too excited. haha.

Here's what we talked about in this episode:

-- Anime Genre Preferences

-- Anime Series Honorable Mentions

-- Anime Top Ten

-- etc. (lol. there's some random bits at times, sorry for the catch-all term)

-- Ending Remarks

Post Pod Notes:

The "new" Cardcaptor Sakura I mentioned is Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card. The one character Alex and I were trying to remember was Maes Hughes. Violet Evergarden the Movie released on Netflix on October 13.
