It's the Southern Senpai Show.

Where small town southerners explore big time Japanese entertainment.

Here's your hosts, Nicholas and DJ.

What's going on y'all?

Southern Senpais here.

Two southern guys who explore Japanese culture together.

I'm Nicholas.

And I'm DJ.

Southern Senpai Show.

What's going on today, DJ?

Today we're gonna be watching episode 6 of Solo Leveling.

What do you think of the series so far?

The series is getting better and better each episode.

Yeah, I wish it started off good.

I would, I hate to be one of those people that's you gotta watch

Four episodes before it gets good.

It's a lot easier when it's your job.

Because a lot of people are like, No, I want it to be good from the first episode.

Yeah.

That's why a lot of people are like, You gotta give an anime

at least three to four episodes.

And it's but you know what?

They never make that excuse for any American shows.

No.

They, to be fair, There's not an American show out there that they give that excuse.

Oh, you gotta give it a few episodes.

No, because americans don't have that type of patience or you're right like

I don't I'm not a big fan of the office Like yeah, no, i've seen the office Just

skip the whole first season man Just you I most people i'm like you want to watch

the office started season two season one It's not even it's like it's almost as if

they were practicing for the second season In fact, the characters are different from

season one to season two They're not even like the same like the same actors, right?

You But the characters themselves are like completely different.

Then why did they change?

Because Steve Carell was in a little movie called the 40 old virgin.

And so the first season he's modeled completely after the UK guy, right?

The original office.

But the issue is that it's a UK humor in America, which

doesn't fucking track at all.

And also he's like balding.

He's like bald.

And like the first season.

Oh, then he gets a hair transplant?

In this sec, they didn't even, they didn't even mention it.

They don't even bring it up.

In the second season, he just looks exactly like he looks in the 40 year old

version and is the exact same personality.

Oh, so that he's just the guy from 40 year old version just on.

And they were like no explanation of why there was such a huge

character change No explanation.

Why is this huge physical change?

None of that in the first season?

He's like a fat bald guy in the second season He's a skinny guy with hair,

but he's still a dumb ass, right?

But like it's totally different and then other people's fucking characters

changed, too So they basically literally made just a second show or just kept

all the fucking names the same Which is why people like oh wow now it's good.

Yeah.

Again skip the first season, but we're not here to talk about that We're

here to talk about Solo Leveling.

Alright I don't have any Xenohouses, but today does have We do have Liquid Death.

Liquid Death, yeah, that's right.

It's a The funny part about Liquid Death, though, is that

it does, it's not quenching.

Yeah, if it only has water, it does not quench your thirst very much.

It doesn't quench your thirst at all.

No, not really.

This is the Carbonation, you know what I mean?

I get thirsty drinking this.

Maybe that's like the trick.

They want you to keep drinking more.

Because Water that makes you more thirsty.

That is insane.

And it's a great business plan.

That's what energy drinks are.

Energy drinks actively dehydrate you.

And then you've been yeah, because the caffeine, then once you crash,

you're like, oh, I need another one.

That's like this, and then I leave mine out because I don't like

the carbonation, yeah, anyway, we're gonna be starting here.

We are starting at zero.

We don't have any of those Pesky.

Beginning studio Thing is we don't have that on here.

All right Let's see what's going on with episode six.

We can press play in three two one play Swirling blue stuff guy

working out of swirling blue stuff.

Okay.

All right Hey,

oh Yes

These people are so evil and they're they're designed so generic it's so

sad to know they're about to die Makes them less threatening actually Wow

a Few hundred million, that's crazy

Why you took so you already said they're as good as dead eight times

already, but we get it keep reinforcing the point Oh my gosh, they say oh my

gosh, you're gonna die again, bro.

I Seriously almost just pause this thing you just say bro.

Yeah.

Hey the anime just said bro

Did the dialogue just drop off They I think they just got lazy with

this dub episode probably I bet you I don't I don't not believe he

said that in the Japanese version

Huh What is this a girl facing Drake I'm level 18.

I can take you on

I love how that was.

That was really stupid.

I ain't gonna lie.

Yeah, that was really stupid at this intro.

How many more episodes are in this season with six more?

Yeah.

Woo, woo.

Hold on.

Let just turn off the light.

I think that I think hopefully it will better.

Yeah.

Okay, this anime just took a nose dive off a cliff.

Yeah, and also, if I see this chick that we're supposed to like one

more time, who is a total bitch.

It's Sakura.

I, I, I would prefer Sakura from Naruto.

You know what the thing is I was watching this video where it said,

you know the reason why you guys all hate Sakura is because, Sakura is a

representation of the girl that you like that never gave you any attention.

Not really.

I personally I think this might be true for some incels, but it

doesn't really make any sense.

And I'll tell you why.

Why?

Because in in Naruto, Hinata really likes Naruto, right?

All he has to do is just realize it.

In this example, Like that guy saying oh because just cuz you know the girl

you like doesn't like you but else implies it like no girls like You I'm

like Naruto when Naruto and I that Isn't there like some other arc where some

girls like hey, I have to repopulate Naruto You want to help me out with that?

And he's yeah, sure.

I don't remember that.

Yeah, I know her.

No, it's in Shippuden.

Oh There's a few girls who like Naruto There's some girls in

Naruto that'd be like, yo, I heard that Ninetales Chakra go crazy.

Less talking?

You're talking to me, and you want to do less talking?

Then stop talking to me.

What's all that scars on his face?

Is he like an old school hunter?

I think he's just ugly.

I think at the end of the day, we need to stop giving explanations to all

these scar people and just realize that sometimes They just look like that.

If he was from Maryland, he would know how to eat crabs, but he

doesn't . He would know how, what to do when he has crabs too, right?

break out the shampoo.

why is what?

What, why?

Why is your the body of your ice?

Why is backing up?

Yeah.

Oh, he thinks he kills for fun.

He can't be sorry.

Now, typical trust fund kid.

That man said his armor's worth a couple hundred million.

Ugh.

Someone watched video games.

Someone watched Dark Souls and was like, yeah, actually, this is it.

Yeah, I can't help but think that this anime is pretty basic.

Generic.

The last episode was way better than this.

But I tell you what makes it hard is that alright, so you like have a story,

you want your character to get better because that's the only way he can

do, better and better more dangerous enemies is if they get better, right?

But you can't just be like, oh yeah, see look, he's like getting better,

like you can't really do that.

You know what I'm saying?

It's oh he's level, I know he's level 100, so him facing this tiny

level 2 boss gives me no excitement.

Compared to you don't know if Naruto went up against an actual ninja serial killer,

you have no idea what's gonna happen.

You even though he might be less powerful than Naruto.

He could have some stuff in there You don't know but this was like,

oh he's level 2 and he's level 100.

Okay.

Then why do I care?

right why don't you help him out instead of just standing around?

He has a shield the giant shield Use the giant shield or you're gonna

do it because you're friends now.

Oh He's a Saiyan and has full recovery

That's Plot Armor.

Oof.

It gives the excuse of Plot Armor, but it's saying, Oh, it's

part of the video game, man.

It's part of the game, man.

It's part of the game.

It's a Plot Armor video.

It was there from the beginning.

That's what he did.

Why did that work?

It just failed two seconds ago.

Why did it just not work?

Because he just did a full recovery.

It's not like one full recovery is gonna make you stronger.

Okay.

Yeah, I saw that.

Such an ass kisser, man.

Trust fund, that works out.

Trust fund kids love kissing ass.

They don't have an actual backbone, so when they sense that, they're like, okay.

Oh!

Oh, are you about to die?

Oh, so I guess he is a hunter.

Kill this guy.

You didn't kill him, you only punched him.

Yeah, but it doesn't matter, because you can't change ranks, right?

That's like the whole thing.

So what's the point of even training?

That's what i'm saying like if you are gonna default always be this powerful

not getting any stronger not getting like weaker It'll be different if you

got weaker so like you do regularly like you keep working out so you can

you know But if you can't get stronger And you also can't get weaker Don't

then why what is the point of training?

I don't know

When did you get to your exa You guys watched him kill the

thing, like as soon as it went thud, You looked up and saw him.

So let me ask you this.

I don't they say normal weapons don't work on these monsters.

But, does that mean, Normal weapons don't work on these hunters?

I'm just trying to watch and find out, man.

I don't know.

I feel like you would carry a gun in this situation still.

Even if they didn't work on normal monsters, I would still carry a gun,

for a multitude of other reasons.

This one in particularly.

Now you're asking this as you're about to kill someone?

Can you

not read?

What

was that?

He just hit him with a fireball, hey!

You're the one whose brothers are slaves so you can study sociology, right?

That's crazy.

Isn't your brother like risking his life every single hour?

Yeah, this is oh if you went into the sit down and drink coffee, right?

This is as if you went into the infantry military For you know your sibling to then

be like, hey, look I have an art major

No Absolutely not.

Oh, is that the hulk?

Oh, there's an ogre.

For him to try and tell me he knows about life and stuff like that,

it's you don't know about life.

I know about life!

And death!

Hey, and death!

In animes, the glasses are always so big, don't you think?

I think that's the style in Japan, actually.

I think it's a Japanese style.

She must not be his sibling, cause she's talking about she's in a guild too.

So That means that these designs are confusing the heck out.

That looks like his sister, right?

Yeah, but I guess it's not

That Adam's Apple is fucking huge.

It's like a giant spike coming out of his neck

Warning if you're not complete this quest you will receive an appropriate penalty.

What is that death?

Go into the avatar state If you

will defeat them all Or your heart.

Oh kill them or you would die.

That's interesting it's not a, it's not a hard choice, bro.

They're trying to kill you.

It's really not.

I don't know why you're having an ethical dilemma about this.

Don't you like murder stuff every day?

What do I have to do that?

Oh, and now it's time to hunt.

What happened to that, bro?

I think a normal person would do this in self defense.

Let's see.

I don't.

I have a real question though.

You didn't upgrade your clothes, bro.

You fit.

The shoes is not it, bro.

If you had a gun, you could just shoot him in the face right now.

Or do that.

That works.

Oh!

His head fell off!

One out of six.

Alright I'm sensing a pattern here.

It sucks at first, and then it has good payoffs.

Which is This is a toxic anime.

It is, it's yeah.

Yeah.

Why don't you stop watching it?

Because every so often, it'll show through.

It's good.

No, it's not.

Yeah, but it has its moments.

It's a toxic relationship anime.

No wonder there was like six girls who asked for us to review this.

They're in a toxic relationship.

Actually guys, dude, they're in a toxic relationship with this anime.

This man is straight up murking these dudes.

Oh, their eyes came off.

Can't get popped out blood.

One more.

I'm just gonna stab him and you just casually stab the guy.

That's pretty hype, man.

No, you were gonna, you were gonna kill him.

Why would he do that?

I think he's honest.

He's yeah.

Oh, it's like Vegas.

Who my younger brother is.

Ah.

I don't care, man.

I do not care.

Do you ever play that card with your younger brother?

Do you ever know who my younger brother is?

Have you ever said that before?

I've never said that before.

Shout out to Adam.

Shout out to Adam.

Shout out to Adam.

Yeah, I

know, oh wow, shocker, oh my god.

Okay that's it.

Skill, murderous intent.

Panic.

So you're less likely to get panicked.

You know who's the real star of the show?

What?

The menu.

The menu makes such sarcastic bullshit comments somehow.

It's actually, it's actually funny.

Yeah, I like it.

Shut up,

Edgelord, now.

My name's Shadow the Hedgehog.

You glad her gave her the umbrella?

Who?

The bitch from early.

Oh my God.

Please don't cut to this girl.

I beg of you.

No.

Is that him?

Now?

Cut to a girl.

I did not expect to see man has, I would rather have been

Oh, and he's back.

And of course, that's the end of the episode.

They always end on a high dose.

All right.

This is episode six.

Nicholas, what do you think?

This was a toxic episode.

Did I think the whole anime is toxic?

It was good in some parts and it was ass at the beginning.

You know what this is you ever hear the song forever that

LeBron James theme with Drake?

Yeah.

Little Wayne.

Okay.

It's like you are listening to Drake knowing damn you're expecting

eminent to come at the end.

A Lil Wayne and Eminem to come at the end.

And in the middle, there's Kanye.

And you're like, oh.

You're like yeah, I gotta get his powerhouse Drake part,

oh, what is that, Kanye?

That's a cool buffer.

Before we get to Lil Wayne and Eminem.

The actual good parts of the song.

And that's what this is like.

That's crazy when Kanye is the mid one.

Drake is, whatever.

Because Kanye is Okay, but it's like we came here to

listen to Lil Wayne and Eminem.

All right, cool.
