2DTC S3 Episode 10: OHHHHH ELDEN RING

Okay it HAS been a long time since we have been on anchor, and that is 100% Tim's fault, but 2D Trash Cast has still been going on Twitch, so check us out on there!  With that being said, HELLO AND WELCOME BACK TO SOME GOOD OLE FASHION 2D TRASH CAST BAYBEE! Now equipped with sound FX sometimes. In this episode Nick and Travis were able to finally do the thing they've been talking about since 2020 and that is travel across the Pacific pond to Japan! They talk about the cool stuff, the bad stuff, and the awkward stuff. Starting 2023 with a clean slate and so with that we hope you enjoy this episode!  NOTE: Due to the nature of these episodes coming through stream. Some things may not make sense on audio. Don't think that's the case here, but putting it out there in the event you start scratching your head :) 

The homefries discuss just how ridiculous manga author's schedules can get, as well as how "meh" alot of anime games can be. Travis also mentions that in certain places a dog can be an ordained minister. Shield Hero might be mad boring (It was up to episode 3 when this was recorded), and there is a discussion about the pros and cons of playing the "waiting game" in romance/harem anime. All this and more on this episode of 2D Trash Cast! 

The boyos discuss game companies that try to reinvent the wheel too often, as well as the issues that come with cloud gaming and yearly sports game releases. There are also talks about how equipment gachas can be the bane of a mobile gamer's existence. On the anime side of things, Travis and Tim spitball a bit about Aoashi while Nick and Tim discuss Summertime rendering. All this and more on this episode of 2D Trash Cast! 

Nick and Travis try and figure out why Tim hates Umaru so much. Will Tomodachi Game get slept on? Will Travis ever find passion for anything? IS CARBONATED MILK THE END ALL BE ALL OF ALL BEVERAGES?! Find out on this episode of 2D Trash Cast! 

To boyos discuss their lament over purchasing merch that they may or may not have room for. There are additional discussions about how wild some roller coasters are and how people just don't DIE on the rides. Tim also tries to sell to you, the viewer, on a manga series called "Sousou No Freiren".

Nick and Travis discuss their experience of seeing Jujutsu Kaisen 0 in theaters while griping about anime films not really getting much air time in a lot of areas in the States. There are also talks about Halo Infinite's current status and issues with AAA games not meeting many players' expectations. All this and more on this episode of 2D Trash Cast! 

In this final episode in a trilogy talking mostly about Elden Ring, the boyos discuss just how large the game really is (in hindsight, none of them had discovered anything north of Liurnia. The game is massive). There are also talks about how much Ash kind of sucks as a Pokemon trainer, as well as figuring out the next shounen poster child for future generations to come. All this and more on this episode of 2D Trash Cast! 

NOTE: This was recorded while Elden Ring was still hot off the press.  The homies mainly discuss Elden Ring this week; Talking about and sort of in awe on how much depth there is to this game's content.... with some possible gripes here and there. Near the end there are discussions regarding FuniRoll season 2. All this and more in this episode of 2D Trash Cast! 

NOTE: Recorded a week after Elden Ring had dropped. Tim is still VERY far behind (He's still VERY sorry). Discussions take place on the polarizing opinions on whether or not Elden Ring is too damn hard for casual gamers (and in general). There are also conversations about Hero Academia and Boruto's recent writing (at the time), Tim brings up Orbital Children and it finished out with the extremes of parasocial relationships still continuing to ruin people's fun. All this and more on this episode of 2D Trash Cast! 

NOTE: This episode was recorded over a month ago. Tim is playing catch up (he's sorry).  The boyos hash out how some companies seem to be allergic to free money, as well as talking about how sometimes the internet believes that only studio Mappa exists within the anime sphere. There are also speculations on what Ufotable may do to handle the remaining arcs in Demon Slayer. Will they movies, or will they continue a seasonal anime format?
