  4. 4:54 Good news on that front, not only is Yen Press finally reprinting the manga, volume 9 was just announced with a release date of May 2023!! Woohoo!
    39:15–39:34 Personally, I disagree because while I do like Bryson as an actor and his performance here is fine, I do think his voice is too deep for Mikhail, and I feel like they should have cast Steph Garrett as him completely, not just for his younger self. Plus I found Bryson's crying at the end of the series kind of forced. But that's just my personal opinion. Everything else is fine, though I've seen others be much harsher towards Bryson's casting. I do agree that he deserves to be in more dramatic stuff.
    53:20–53:27 Wow, that is a description I never expected to hear, but that certainly is a funny mental image.
    55:20–56:34 I love Brandon as Astolfo. I found him so gloriously hammy and unhinged.
    1:44:52 How come you hate Wizard of Oz? I think it's kinda meh myself, especially since I read the book and Dorothy's a lot less neurotic in the book.
    1:59:30–1:59:44 Funny story, my dad happened to be in the room while I was watching episode 11 of the series, and he immediately thought Ruthven was a villainous character. Why? Because of the way Ruthven laughed in the cafe scene with Noe, and my dad said "Wow, that's an evil laugh right there. Wonder if he's a bad guy?" And it turned out he was right.
    2:05:31–2:05:38 How the hell DO you pronounce Jeanne's name?! I've heard five different ways to pronounce it and I don't know if any of them are right. I used to think it was pronounced "Jeen-ee" like Genie for the longest time.
    2:08:04–2:08:30 Yeah, I hate Veronica as a character. She's SUUUUCH A BITCH. I mean, you don't just tell your grieving sister that you're happy he's dead, drop a bombshell like that, and then say "Oh, but if we let him live he'd probably fulfill our expectations way better than you ever will!" God I wanted to punch her so bad.
    2:23:43 Yeah Domi does have some big dominatrix energy going on.
    2:27:28–2:27:52 My favorite scene with Luca is when he demands that Vanitas apologize to Jeanne for kissing her, Vanitas just goes "whoopsie!" and Luca yells at him like "WHOOPSIE?! IS THAT ALL YOU'VE GOT?!?" And he's right to be angry at Vanitas, since he basically kissed Jeanne without her consent.
    2:41:38–2:42:20 That makes a lot of sense. Jeanne would be the innocent Catholic schoolgirl who wants to get it on upon first learning about sex, Shimoneta-style.
    2:50:37–2:51:21 I also love the big teddy bear man that is Noe. I would let him suck my blood. He's a better vampire than Edward Cullen will ever be!! He's a good widdle goober.
    3:00:34–3:01:00 OMG you actually talked to Howard Wang about that?! Aw man, that's funny! I love it when stuff like that happens.
    3:09:04–03:11:24 I absolutely agree, and I've heard that Zeno himself considers this, Akudama Drive, and Link Click to be his best performances of all time. And yes, I also agree Zeno's raunchy moaning noises are sexy, too. Why do you think I requested that one Twitter account post that clip of Jeanne sucking Vanitas' blood after their date?
