“Okay. But what specifically”

“Like the art, the story, or-“

Nominating "The Vibe" for a new Trash Taste Awardw category - The Confusion Award

The talk about what a vibe is and art without humans has to be simultaneously the most insightful and most frustrating conversation I have ever listened to involving these guys.

The whole “vibe” discussion just destroyed my brain cells

The mistake conor made with the "vibe" explanation is that he kept switching back and forth from it being a subjective thing to an objective thing. That's why Joey and Garnt were confused.

When Connor's talking about "vibe", he seems to be talking about a work's tone or atmosphere and the art style that provides that. For the "art" description, me and my art professor discussed about it. "Art" is a human-made creative expression through a medium. It's why scenery or objects that are naturally created by nature rather than humans don't count as art just because it looks "beautiful".

I swear "the vibe" is a fucking all time legendary segment imo

"The episode they filmed 20 mins ago" as mentioned by Joey, is 196 .

Joey was so based talking about shoujo. Yes we need more shoujo rep!!!!

This was such an enjoyable episode.
Please do more anime and manga episodes.
Maybe you guys can talk about specific anime and manga you've all seen?
😊

Clearly this episode was to give us more options for "Worst Take" and "I Made it the Fuck Up" awards.

Wake up babe new trash taste episode just dropped

Also, for those who are not on reddit, they decided to delay the annual trash taste awardw because the bois have been busy. So look forward to that in a few weeks!

I love how mudan edit the podcast. The beginning of this video is so funny!

The way Connor start speaking like a cult leader the moment they started talking about THE vibe is insane

In an attempt to help Connor try to understand what "Vibe" is
Vibe is basically STYLE. And it's not limited to art style.
Style can be fashion direction, cinematography (how the panel is sliced/framed), music direction, etc etc.
You, Connor, happen to like dark + cool + violent vibes, which lines up perfectly with Berserk.
One Piece's vibes are silly + fun vibes.
And yes, slice of life stuff ALSO HAS A VIBE. Chill vibes.
Stuff like Domestic Kanojo and Kuzu no Honkai has a vibe. Angsty vibe.
Yes, "Vibe" can be quantified, but not by the average laymen.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Listening to a discussion about "vibe" devolving [evolving?] into a metaphysical discussion about the relation of the human mind to reality is a peak moment.

I love listening to these idiots just waffling. Feels like a night out with your lads when no one makes any sense. Super grateful for this podcast, I can't say I've ever stumbled upon other content creators who capture this feeling as well :)

Them being surprised stuff like Horimiya or Pandora Hearts were popular really tells you that they only started reading manga in recent years. When I was getting into reading manga back in the early 2010s, these were the manga that were recommended to me from looking up manga recommendations so its not really that surprising that they have a lot of members on MAL.

I like how Garnt is so used to their BS that he just goes silent and picked up his phone when they were talking about "Bean Piss"
