Nicholas and DJ announce that they will be watching the "1000 Year Blood Arc" of the anime series Bleach. This is another special watch along episode with the Southern Senpais!

howdy.

It's the Southern Sin Pie Show, where small town Southerners explore big

time Japanese entertainment, anime, manga, and everything in between.

Here's your hosts, Nicholas and dj.

Hey, what's going on guys?

It's Southern Sims.

I'm Nicholas.

I'm dj.

And what are we going to be getting into today?

Dj, today we're going to be watching the thousand year blood arc, uh, for bleach.

Bleach has been off for like how long now?

Years.

Well, uh, we, we watched a recap because it's been 2012 is the last.

Was the last, like, arc after they had 366 episodes of, of, of, you know, bleach.

And then it was, was off and now it's back on this year in 2023.

Um, one thing that I, I, I will say is that a lot of people say that, oh, so for

clarification, The first season is done.

We're behind on this.

Right?

And this is a watch along episode, so we probably should

just jump right into it, right?

Instead of giving this intro, but regardless of which, um,

apparently there's a lot of the original people are back on this.

Yeah.

A lot of, most of, most of the people that did bleach before are.

On bleach now.

Right.

And which is very, very not typical.

Yeah.

Um, I gotta say, they said that, oh, this is gonna be like movie quality animation,

which I think everyone says that, right?

I mean, that's what you do to sell the.

Sell the series.

Yeah.

But, um, bleach is one of the big three, official big three, right?

There's only one big three.

Well, one, there's only three big threes.

And the reason why they're called a big three is 'cause they sold so

much, uh, manga at a time in which it was not popular International, that

it made it international popular.

Right.

Those big three are, uh, bleach.

One piece.

One piece.

And Ourto.

Yep.

Those are the big three.

There is no nineties big three with the Dragon Ball Z or the new

big three with my hero academia.

That does not exist.

That's just, it didn't exist before.

It just sold so much.

They had to make it a thing.

Right.

They're like, those are the, the actual big three is what everyone claims to.

Is that where I was ripping off of basically.

Right.

But this is a launch along episode.

Um, so we're starting on the first, this is the first episode.

Lemme just go ahead and get this all set up.

Go ahead.

I, I'm gonna have to go ahead.

I gotta move the mic over here.

All right.

So we're starting from, uh, spot 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, all zeros.

Yeah.

Um, and if you're going along with the timing, having it all set up

and give you a moment to set that up, we probably should do that.

We probably should give them time to decide the watch on, probably.

All right.

Pain pressing play three.

Tune one play

ah tv.

Tokyo.

Yeah.

Got them.

Scene enhancers, right.

Today's scene enhancer is brought to you by Crown Royal

regains his after nine.

And finally

the Quincy's are back.

How you do?

How'd you say that, Quincy's?

No, I do know that they just said it.

Oh, I probably should start with the volume, I guess.

Just take off one of your headphones and you can hear better.

Oh, you can hear better without the headphone on.

I think you might've had too many senior answers.

I'm high on life as a senior dancer.

Have you have nothing new to report?

Leave us you, sir.

Captain, what do you think it could be?

Isn't it obvious?

Is erasing the very existence of Hollows.

Only they're capable of that

first sip.

Huh?

So, you know, 'cause hollows, they, they, they quincy's destroy hollows, so

it like, makes things imbalanced, right?

They actually kill the souls instead of like sending beyond two now.

So try to get along and focus on ex terminating hollows.

Okay?

Five, damn, not each other.

You don't what he just said about that.

Fighting with each other.

Let's see.

A little more confidence.

Hey, stop looking so nervous and get a grip on yourself because like it or

not, we've been assigned to this post.

You got it?

Yeah.

Yeah.

I get it.

I just, why is, why is every, there's so many male Japanese men in, in anime.

They're just soft boys.

Isn't that a thing though?

Like that's, that's like.

That's their thing.

I had no idea.

Is it?

I, I thought so.

All the women are like very, like,

I will say this, bleach has one of the better designs when it

comes to animation, like an anime.

Well, I mean in, don't they in Japan, don't they date like

their phones or something?

Or marry their phones?

I have heard of like handy vending machines.

Yeah, it's dirty, right?

I, I think so.

That might be an upcharge.

That might be extra.

Maybe you're scared.

Is that what it's, if it's just say so.

Go ahead.

Unbelievable.

I'm through with you.

You're on your own.

Wait, wait.

I love how they're just casually flying.

Right?

It's, it's, it's all good.

That's what this, what do I do like about bleach?

Like some of the things that you're like, oh, like why is she jumping?

Says she's jumping from, but you, you could just walk on the wall, on the air.

Yeah.

But then it wouldn't be aesthetic though.

They think it wouldn't be.

That's one thing I, I, I will give bleach so much credit for.

I love the design.

That's what a lot of people like about bleach.

Yeah, it just looks great.

Like the art style is great.

The, um, they had, they draw black people without having giant lips.

They draw black people like they're actually black.

I will say though, the people who have the best design and the best

animation, damn, what the hell is that?

Is, uh, demon, slayer False.

I would say they have the best animation.

I will give you that animation.

Yeah.

I don't like, if you like, the design, design is a totally opinionated

thing, so if you think they're the best, you mean it is what it is.

You know, I I I'm surprised.

I thought you were like, I would think you would think Bastard

has the, the best design.

I actually think Bastard's Designs is better than, yeah.

Yeah, I would definitely say that.

But as far as animation, I mean, come on, demon Slayer, just come on now.

It's just they set a new standard, so head and shoulders above, whoa, whoa, what?

Damn.

Whoa

have to do this.

It's only only the two of us here.

There's no one else to say if she know I have to do it.

Oh, he's dead.

Is this, is this the part where, where Ichigo comes in and saves today?

I hope so.

Just

die.

What happens when AAMI dies?

Do they, do they turn into a, a, a baby?

Uh, I don't know.

Let's find out.

Oh, it's the crew.

It's the crew.

There.

Now.

I've stabilized you.

And don't be back.

No, those tints are bigger than they were last time.

Oh, heme.

Oh my God.

What's going on?

You want some coffee?

Let's get this over with squad.

The squad.

The squad.

This is exactly how.

Me and Nicholas and our friends, we pull up to Crispr Kreme at

00 AM on a Saturday.

Right?

It's like

the squad, right When that, when that fresh baked light comes on, it's like,

yeah, you know what we're here for.

Gimme that creamy delay, and you're like, pause.

Right?

Damn.

They are huge.

They are bigger.

They were last night, although I'm not complaining, I'll be honest with you.

No,

you much crazy is like bleach.

Like, so he's so that guy, whoa.

That's cool.

So he's, he's Latino, right?

Oh, is he?

Yeah.

He's like a dark skinned Latino.

I think it's okay.

I think bleach has, like, they started off with such, such D, this

music reminds me of the goofy movie.

What the, oh, that's hot, right?

You.

Are, is it just me or are these hollows like, are like huge.

They're like way bigger and look way more powerful than what I'm used to saying.

Didn't they usually just be like tall people and like one black cloak?

Yeah.

And

like Bleaches has such great diversity in designs.

He's always like, you know what, this girl's.

Tits aren't big enough.

We gotta, we gotta do something about that.

A quick plug, we're also on K H T S radio.

Sundays,

six o'clock at 6:00 AM If you're, you're up at that time,

you know, right before church, get your sim pie in.

Right.

Um, but generally they hear the watch alongs on the, on the podcast.

So I was about to say, why are you doing that?

But yeah.

So yeah, I mean, you know, that's what, why on the podcast also,

the podcast is the only place where you can hear us cuss freely.

Right, right.

I am gonna do it again.

Watch this as, damn.

Look at.

Those were all the leftovers that didn't sell.

Right.

Fine.

If you're gonna be rude about it, you won't get any.

She's right.

You're being rude.

You enjoy your bread more than anyone else, so maybe you should

stop being So wait, he was just talking through his teeth.

Did you see that?

Yeah.

Barging.

And it sounded like it too.

We might use you outside and she let us in.

Now, how about you stop talking and pitches and plates?

What?

Since when do I take orders for you?

Huh?

I'm not boring you.

I'm just making this like, look at this character design.

He's like, you know what I like, I was just putting white spots on his head.

Just fuck it.

That's the design, right?

You're the guy who saved me last night.

If you just realized that now you really were out of it.

And for the record, that was two days ago.

Not last night, huh?

Yeah.

You were asleep for over 24 hours.

It's been that long.

What about Sheena here?

You're hungry, right?

Eat.

We have plenty.

Thanks, but I, yeah, I know you can't eat like that, so climb into that Gee

guy suit next to you there next to me.

Do you have to scream all the damn time?

Why are you so scared of your own gee guy?

Anyway, it's not that.

There's just something else.

I, because he is a little girl.

Listen, that's eating Sheena.

Was she alright?

I will be enough drinks for all.

Are you gonna cry now?

Oh, she is crying.

That was, that was a joke.

My goodness.

Oh wow.

No, you seem, oh no.

She's gonna beat the shit at him.

Okay.

Okay.

Let's see.

Okay.

Yeah, that's what I thought.

Bread, who you gonna say for Boy, you don't like fish heads

and fins in your sandwich.

You know what they say?

Like two people who like yell and argue with each other, other

girl and the guy they like.

They like each other.

Yeah.

I'm Ebert.

Was it my full name?

You wanted Ask Ro Ebert were any other questions?

I don't know who the hell you are.

Get off my bed.

I'm sorry I didn't quite catch what you said, but you might repeating that.

I said I don't know who the hell you are, but get off my damn bed.

Damn.

The man came into Flex and he.

I guess in wrong car.

Whatever.

I'll teach him to put his feet on my bed.

Fucking protagonist.

Swag.

Yeah.

Nobody puts their feet on my bed on.

I love how the rest of 'em don't give a shit.

They're like, ah, villain, who cares?

What the hell was that?

They just kicked me without warning.

Hey.

Huh?

I figure it's me.

You're after.

Right.

Look, why don't we take this somewhere else?

You think I'm here because of you?

You have laddering yourself.

Why did you follow me?

You're curious about who I'm right.

Not really.

You're like, do you know any villains we face?

Like, fuck it, dude.

Can you just hurry up?

You in a wrong car?

In wrong car.

Are you on your own or did someone send you?

What do you have to gain from fighting me?

You have the nerve to call me in that wrong car.

It bitchy.

He's a Quincy.

Oh, yep.

There it is.

Whoa.

Whatcha doing with the Cy?

What's the matter to something?

It is true nobody's here.

There's no way everyone in the district could vanish without it being noticed,

especially not with our squad on watch.

Last report said there were at least a few villagers left here, which means

that the situation is getting worse.

Thi manama.

We searched the whole area and couldn't find a single man.

Hold out.

I thought they were speaking Japanese at first.

Oh boy.

I thought this was the English dub.

No, it's, they're speaking English.

Ridiculous man.

Has had too many scene enhancers, sir.

What is it?

Did you find something else?

Actually, it's something you should see for yourself.

They all come together in this one spot that just stop.

You see what I'm seeing you Chika.

I do.

These footprints were made by either sandals or bare feet, so it

clearly wasn't the work of hollows.

It's hard to believe that the villagers must have been

abducted by their own people.

What?

But why would they do that?

It's hard job to find out.

It's probably the Quincy people.

Yeah, I'm probably trying to make a comeback to fight.

Yeah.

For revenge.

But then why would you kill innocent villagers?

I don't know.

That Uche eyes did.

It did being passed innocent.

Yeah,

sir.

What?

Whoa.

Head captain, the 13 court guard squads, I presume a pleasure to meet you.

We have come to declare war.

That's crazy.

'cause when a Quincy kills you, your soul is like gone forever.

Like you don't have like Yeah, but it can't be that

hollow mask he's got on worn.

I must admit, I was surprised.

This is the private office of the head captain of the 13 Court Guard squads,

and yet it was so easy to infiltrate.

Perhaps your attention to security is a bit lacking.

I have nothing to fear because I am here and there is no

greater security than that.

I see.

Don't Lord, he deserves praise for single-handedly demonstrating the

fate that awaits all your soul reader.

Namely, a desperate public struggle followed by a miserable death.

Five days from now, the Soul Society will be annihilated by the black

bro.

These villains, this drip is hard, bro.

You ain't lying man.

Look in your eyes.

You must wanna ask us, who are you people?

And yet you must know that we would never answer that question.

You should know who we are by now.

Farewell.

I mean, this was the only logical next step forward.

Yeah.

I mean, there's no other groups to fight, right?

So he was like, oh, what?

What did I do the first season lasted the Quincy.

That's a good idea.

I still.

I will play along.

They're gone for now, master, there is something, something about this

enemy that you must know, but here.

What absorb it or something?

What's going on?

And if you watch, you probably, you probably would know.

I mean, if he lost it though, possible would've been the end of the series.

Now you're talking about my bonky disappearing man.

In the last five minutes, I've come up with a ton of questions I wanna ask you.

You are still coming with me.

Am I?

Hello.

Don't worry it isn't for you there.

Hide chokes.

Damn it.

What was that shadow?

It wasn't the za.

The, I ain't gonna lie, the, this looks really great compared to what

I remember bleach looking like.

Like when I Oh, yeah.

Ichigo is still kind of wearing a dress, but cool.

Yeah.

You know, I would've given him some pants or something.

Right.

But you know, I get it.

You know, Japan, I don't care what's going on in Asia.

I'll tell you this, I have never been scared of a man in a dress, bro.

You ain't lying.

Even, even, uh, even Scottish men call 'em like what?

Kilts.

They're not dresses.

They're kilts.

Yeah.

How commendable you to be head bow?

How many times do I have to say it to make argue?

You're in my presence.

You know how I dislike conflict?

Oh my God, no.

Then tell me how work towards peace is progressing.

Damn,

that man said, Hey, cut the bulls.

Is, is this the opening?

Lemme Yeah.

We've done so much work.

You could just play like the I everyone's doing the M C U now where it's like, oh,

we're gonna just show all the previous stuff we've done and that's the opener.

Yeah.

Or Marvel Star do that for their movies.

Well, I mean, it's easier, like a lot easier.

They're like, dude, we have 10 decades worth of animation.

Can we just put, just, just put it together, man, I, I, not 10 decades,

but like 10 years of, of animation, but.

Just thought, that's what I said, 10 dickhead.

Just go ahead and put it together.

No, I like dickhead working in animation.

I was like, what?

Yeah.

We have only some 10 dickhead who work in animation so they can

fucking just put the shit together.

I don't really care.

That's what I thought you said and you were like, no decades.

Am I decade.

Yeah, but I was wrong.

I meant like eight decade.

Yeah.

Have you think about like the story of bleach?

It is like a whole bunch of stuff that really, like, there's a lot of,

they have a whole bunch of filler.

There's not really a lot that happens comparative to like NATO or like, you

know, one piece of stuff like that.

No, it's not a very compelling, however, like the fights are just like, they're

like Dragon Ball Z length fights.

They're like very long.

Well, yeah.

Also, I think it's kind of like Sketchers when they were like, okay, we're

just gonna be the work persons shoe.

We're not gonna try and sell anything else.

We're just, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Remember they tried doing the LightUp shoes?

They tried doing the, yeah.

Shape Up.

Joe Montana did the Shape up and then he got sued for it

or Shape Up, got sued for it.

Remember they had those the, they tried to do the Spinella shoes for

like girls or some shit, right?

Only reason I fucking know that is 'cause I have three sisters.

Well, and then, you know, they're always trying to hype up Sketchers for the

school year and everybody's like, no, no.

Oh, everyone knows what Skechers are for.

They're for, yeah.

When you Caucasian dads with cargo shorts who want to grill and really,

to be fair, they're not branching out.

Now they're not only for Caucasian dads.

There's really for middle class dads.

Middle class dads in general.

That grill outside and they cut grass and you know, and work in the restaurants.

Yeah.

Lemme ask you something.

You think that like, 'cause like no one in real life has

all these crazy powers, right?

Obviously this is a story, right?

Right.

So if you think that this, if this shit could really happen,

you think that art would suffer.

Because like the only reason people come up with like cool imagination shit

like this is 'cause it doesn't exist.

So if it did exist, we wouldn't think of it as cool or interesting.

I think it would evolve to something even cooler.

Damn, this universe sucks ass.

I gotta, we gotta go to some other higher playing universe.

Sometime you gotta take a visit or something.

Right.

Also, um, I'll take, I'm not a fan of this opening.

Yeah.

Uh, no.

I'd rather it be just something cool and original and never return

the sea of blood of the universe.

Alright, well, uh, that's the first episode, but, uh, man, what do you think?

It's all right.

I, I'm, you know, it's pretty, it was pretty good.

I mean, this, it looks great.

Just a whole bunch of like questions, like, basically like people showed

up and they were like, ah, we don't care that you're a bad guy.

Then you go, Beat some guy's ass and like, that's it.

It's like, okay, what am I supposed to get from this?

I mean, there's a whole bunch of nothing that happened.

Oh yeah.

All right guys.

Well, hey, that's the watch along for Southern Symia.

Yeah.

I'm Nick a bleach.

So this is episode one of the thousand Year War Ark.

Um, this has been Southern s I'm Nicholas.

I'm DJ and we'll see y'all later.

We'll see you next.

This has been Southern Sin Pies on Comic-Con Radio.

You can follow the show at Southern Sin Pies on all major social media platforms.

Tune in next Wednesday for a fresh episode.

Y'all come back now you here.
