Apologies for the odd cuts at 38:20 and 1:22:49. We had some copyright issues with TMS in regards to some of the Cybersix footage and didn't want to risk a copyright strike fighting it or time it would take to go through the dispute process. Fortunately most of the cut bits aren't vital to the conversation, but it did mean we had to remove the section of John discussing his favorite episode (the one about a werewolf lady, obviously). If you want to hear that section in its entirety, you can go listen to the uncut audio version, which you can find on versuswolves.libsyn.com or any podcast app like Spotify or Itunes.

The progressing attempts to match or exceed the other’s energy from previous episodes is a fantastic bit. From the end of the Omikron episode leaving Woolie in terror to the start of this one leaving John in terror. Masterful. These wolves truly are versus. Bravo Nolan!

Woolie is just there with a suit... Menacingly

Woolie standing up to reveal his tie has EVA-01 colored stripes on it is an underrated moment among the rest of that insanity.

To put into context what Woolie just did to John a games journalist titled their review of Dokapon Kingdom "A Taxing Experience".

I think Cybersix got away with a lot of what it did and wound up flying under the radar (for the most part) was because the whole issue of gender identity wasn't nearly so politicized back then. Sure, things definitely weren't good for trans and gender-queer people, and general attitudes towards those issues have improved and certainly become better understood, but at least it wasn't an issue that was being used as ammunition to galvanize the moral majority yet. The manufactured moral outrage just hadn't been focused in that direction back then.

17:00 I think I know what John's saying here? Like Hades' design has an identity that feels like it has been perfected by a single artistic lens (Jen Zee's) over the years. Compare that to other attractive character design types (Over Watch, Genshin Impact, etc) that feel more like they have a bit more of a design-by comittee feel. Which maybe is unfair because I do really love many of those game's character designs. Maybe to put it differently, Hades feels like the realization of an aesthetic that clearly began as someone drawing these character designs in the margin of their highschool/college text books. Whereas the others maybe came about later after deliberation and collaboration of many artistic ideas in a work environment.

Too bad he's already seen it! Good section of CSB, described exactly what that movie is (a love letter to Seed fans at the expense of everyone else)

Love the world's only full aggro podcast starting off with Woolie calmly showcasing the super he already has charged and then proceeds to hold on to for the next three and a half hours. Cybersix is wild in that it even exists in the form it does at all, I did not expect the rabbit hole to go as deep as it did. Though it was funny seeing you two (especially John) lose your minds over an amount of boobage that's not actually all that crazy for adult eurocomics, which the style seems heavily based on even if it's not actually from Europe. I really appreciate the breakdown of the history of HxH between you two because I never watched Gon in 60 Seconds aside from a little bit I caught many years ago in the middle of season 3 when I had no idea what was going on or who either of you were, so I just bounced off of that real hard. But now that I do I'm actually really tempted to watch it because it sounds like a riot. You know, just one I wasn't prepared for at the time. Two things I noticed during the HxH discussion - first, it's good to realize with HxH that while Nen is involved in pretty much every conflict from this point onwards, it is not the *only* thing involved in conflicts. There's non-Nen users who can do some impressive things, and even when it's Nen vs Nen it's rarely a straight up confrontation of who can anime magic better and win. That's the fun of the series, it has its 'thing' in the form of Nen only insofar it makes sense and drives the story forwards. It's specific enough that it doesn't invalidate everything that isn't Nen. Killua's Rhythm Echo for instance is not Nen, since Killua had his aura nodes closed until Wing opened them during Heaven's Arena. That's just assassin martial arts bullshit. It's helpful to keep that in mind, because I can imagine some scenarios where you'd otherwise get confused when assuming something was done with Nen or involved Nen when it actually didn't. Secondly, there's some weird editing around the part where you're talking about Killua threatening Sadaso (the one-armed guy who threatened Zushi). You kind of got the motivations and the order of events mixed up. Which is fine, if you binge a show you're bound to forget some details, but in the edit the corresponding scenes from the anime are cut to be in the order you're recounting the story in, which is distinctly not the order they actually happened in. And that's all the same episode too, so that would've been obvious when grabbing the clips, which happen within like 5 minutes of each other. I suppose it doesn't matter too much, but all the same a 'I remembered the order of these scenes wrong lol' disclaimer wouldn't have gone amiss.

I thought Woolie was gonna tell John to play it with his wife

Good god - what does it take to make Woolie and Eyepatch watch Aeon Flux? How is it that so many people haven't seen that show? Goddamn.
