Summary

I don’t even know how to describe this one, other than by simply stating that it is the 2020 anime adaptation of the South Korean manhwa Tower of God, and even that I’m not too sure of. Meanwhile, Remington thinks we are watching Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo. How many floors up can Remington make it? How does Shaun feel about balloon creatures? Why is Samantha wearing a fake mustache?

0:00.0	This is anime out of context, a comedy review podcast hosted by a weeb of the highest order, alongside a cynical man who knows nothing about anime.
0:07.6	Our show features spoilers, explicit language, and poor fact-checking.
0:10.7	Neither of our hosts or experts on any topic and none of their opinions should be taken as fact.
0:14.4	Thank you for listening and enjoy. Hello and welcome to anime out of context, the show where I attempt to explain the sometimes weird, sometimes wonderful, but always hilarious world of anime.
0:32.1	And I failed to test on both my weeb knowledge and human decency. I'm Sean Rollins. I'm Remington.
0:37.7	It's amazing to say this, but we are still alive.
0:42.4	We are, we are impressively, both because of the sheer saturation of anime and bad opinions and also COVID.
0:51.3	So that makes it a pretty deadly combination, but we're making it through
0:55.3	day by day. Yep. And it's our duty to try and give some people a bit of a distraction from all
1:00.4	the scary stuff out in the world. Here's my concern, Sean. So like on paper, it's like the way
1:07.0	we're providing a distraction is like, oh, we provide some laughs and lighthearted
1:11.2	giggles so that they can find something, a gram of hope and optimism in the world.
1:16.8	But I worry that instead, what it actually ends up being is those times where, like, you
1:22.8	would complain to a sibling, like your uncle or your brother or something, and you'd be like,
1:27.3	oh, my arm hurts. And then they would like punch you in the leg and be like,
1:31.3	is that better? And you're like, no, but then they're like, well, the pain in your leg, now that's what you're focused on.
1:36.3	Don't even worry about the pain in your arm. So we're inflicting more pain to distract from the existing pain.
1:42.3	I didn't know you're the president, Remington.
1:48.6	That seems to be my general strategy, apparently.
1:51.6	Yeah, so if you can call it a strategy, honestly.
1:58.6	But yeah, with my terrible opinions, I don't think it provides the levity that a lot of people are looking for, but hey, if you're here, congratulations.
2:02.2	Yeah, we're happy to have you. But it might get a little hinky here from here on out.
