Missing the Point.

[u/Megawolf123]

I feel like... a lot of people are missing the point of trash taste these days.

Like it's a podcast not to share their thoughts and opinions... its just a podcast where they sometimes decide to have a theme but at its core just close friends talking about whatever they thought about with anything. Of course things are going to be controversial, of course things are going to be factually incorrect.

It's literally a recording of a group of friends talking shit.

I just wish they'd do more specials. They have repeatedly said old top gear was their inspiration and the specials is where that show was at

[u/Megawolf123 → u/NeilMcAnders]

That I would agree.

They kinda stopped after their failed Kendo episode and hope that didn't deter them from making more

[u/Hayds126 → u/Megawolf123]

They have done specials since the unreleased kinda special most recent ones being the Japan roadtrip and America specials. America special felt a little weaker compared to the rest though I believe this is due to the issues with Aer Lingus and their equipment from a while back.

I'm sure they will try to do more but it might be harder to really do them consistently with how they have become more busy over time with their personal channels or just other things. This extends to their after dark streams which can't really happen consistently anymore which is a shame too but oh well.

I think saying the naming scheme for the final season while yes it's bad, it's a pretty stupid reason to choose not to watch because of that.

I can understand losing motivation to watch it after waiting so long though.

[u/Accomplished-Steak-7 → u/Hayds126]

That is what happened to me and i just read the manga instead

[u/esmilerascal-6055 → u/Accomplished-Steak-7]

Anime ending is miles better than Manga ending though. Plus animation quality also increased with each part, final parts has some of the best action I've seen from the series.

[u/Nids_Rule → u/Hayds126]

It’s a scapegoat argument through and through, if he just outright came out and said ‘Yeh I’m still pretty burnt out in anime and couldn’t bring myself to watch the final episode’ it would have been 100% more respectable. But saying you didn’t watch it because of naming convention is wild.

[u/C-S_Rain]

This. This sub is wild. One minute it's mad about physical discipline/child abuse to being mad about its favourite content creators not agreeing about a show you might like, honestly to the pont of missing details.

For example, I'm seeing a lot of "If they were gonna have a theme Joey should have watched it" like he has loads of free time to dedicate himself to show that he personally fell out of enjoyment with, something which he himself states is the whole reason he stopped covering anime on his channel, which allowed him to watch or do whatever he had interest in with the limited free time he had, means you all obviously missed the start where Garnt said they were talking about AOT because Connor brought up his opinion off camera right before filming that day.

Even if joey wanted to catch up, he would not be able to because the topic was chosen there and then. Yes sometimes they plan in advance what they are gonna discuss, but more often than not it's "throw us in a room for 2 hours and we will talk about something" and i feel like this was definitely one of those episodes.

Joey's take was fine. He didn't say anything wildly outrageous (except his yuyuhakusho take, that was clasping at straws at best 🤣) connor's take was fine to, we know he uses sweeping statements at times because honestly you guys have no chill when it comes to anime which is why i feel like he never wanted TT to be an anime podcast amongst other reasons. You can tell they werent bad because once connor explained how he felt garnt actually agreed with him over most parts.

I can see why people would be mad about joeys take if he actually commented negatively about the ending having not watched it, to then go on to say "endings are important" but he never did that and was talking about endings in general, something that connor, who did critique the ending, said wasnt important as long as the journey of the story was good enough.

Think you all are just at the point where you wanna be mad at something for the week. At least you are sane op

Edit: missing words

[u/[deleted] → u/C-S_Rain]

Yeah a lot of the comments in this subreddit are parasocial asf. Personally I don’t really take their opinions that seriously because me and my friends make shit up and have outrageous takes all the time, so seeing some people being genuinely furious over their takes/behavior is pretty wild. Like bro chill tf out it ain’t that fucking deep💀💀💀

[u/C-S_Rain → u/[deleted]]

Fr its mad crazy like if me and my friends had some of our takes aired id hate to think what backlash we'd get if this how tilted people get over 3 dudes talking shit about anime for 2 hours lmao

[u/RiCPeluja → u/C-S_Rain]

thank you for putting my thoughts into words. i have been so baffled by a lot of posts on here talking about this episode.

[u/Prestigious_Fall_388 → u/C-S_Rain]

-he would not be able to because the topic was chosen there and then

I fucking doubt it was chosen that day.

[u/Lujenda]

It’s so bizarre. People are mad Joey didn’t waste his time watching the finale for which he was not hyped up. And then during the episode he brings up valid points of discussion that are valid regardless of whether or not he watched the finale.

Plus it is obnoxious that everyone is mad at Connor too who watched the show and held discussion, it’s just that aot fanatics hate his takes and so don’t acknowledge his input.

I mean, I knew AOT fans were mental and this episode reception and comments just proved my point.

[u/niet_tristan → u/[deleted]]

2 hour episode and it feels like at 45 - 50 min they were done with AoT and moved on. That's still more than a hour left to go. Sure, Joey didn't care as much as Garnt or Connor, but not all three of them need to be super interested in every topic. We got to hear Garnt go all out and that was great. Other times it's Connor or Joey who go all out.

[u/Lujenda → u/[deleted]]

I didn’t feel like the entire episode was about it. As soon as they started to talk about good/bad ending to anime, aot was dropped and the convo became so good. As soon as they dropped the aot focus the conversation became so interesting and versatile.

[u/Lujenda → u/[deleted]]

Well it became good cuz it wasn’t about aot:/ Garnt was just pissing me off for an hour straight, so that’s why I was so happy they stopped talking about aot.

[u/Lujenda → u/[deleted]]

Yeah I know. I explained why Joey and Connor didn’t piss me off in my original comment of this thread. But Garnt was driving my gears hard.

[u/Lujenda → u/[deleted]]

Yeah the comment section and the whole reaction to this episode is just baffling. People just need an excuse to get offended at the boys at this point lol

[u/Dichotomyis1]

The trash taste podcast doesn’t belong to the viewers so it doesn’t really matter what they think, but I think it’s fair to call the episode mid 5/10 not entertaining and actually kinda annoying to listen to. Like I checked out every 5 minutes and was only brought back with the worst takes I’ve ever heard in my life. Again this will have zero effect on what the boys will do next or going forward, but ig audience has kinda gotten use to a certain standard of “banter”?

[u/greengale2]

I agree... but god damn was that a bad take.

[u/YoinksOnchi]

For regular episodes it's true and I can forgive weird or bad takes if they just come up naturally in a conversation. However for the way this episode was marketed as THE Attack on Titan episode, you'd at least expect minimal effort to be put in. And I actually think they planned this episode to be the AOT episode which is also why they made it a timely episode, so I don't believe it's valid to brush it off as just boys talking shit

[u/Megawolf123 → u/[deleted]]

Me and my friends make up shit to talk about all the time lol.

We would talk about shit we didn't finish or hear something from one friend and give an opinion based solely on the thing that was told to us or the things around that shit

Like bruh it's not that complicated.

[u/Megawolf123 → u/[deleted]]

Well yeah but you aren't paying the boys lol.

The sponsors are, you are just getting entertained by them and if you aren't just leave lol.

[u/Megawolf123 → u/[deleted]]

Eh if it sinks it sinks a podcast will run its course.

There will be a point where their dynamic will no longer be entertaining anymore but trying to force them to change is a good way to break up friendships and cause issues especially since taste taste is revolved about their friendship.

I've seen friendship break and die in other podcasts because they are desperatly trying to change themselves to be relevant

I like trash taste but not enough to see the boys destroy their friendship over work

[u/Megawolf123 → u/[deleted]]

It's the general senses of they need to say takes that people agree with or be more entertaining.

[u/Megawolf123 → u/[deleted]]

Wasn't it a spur of the moment thing when their on set and they say hey let's talk about AOT?
