It's wild that they answered no to "anime can make you smarter". Of course it can. Any piece of media can. No one's saying "use anime as your only source of information." Heck, if you use "stuff you learned in school" as your only source of information you're also bound to be misinformed about a lot of things. Also saying that "you need to be curious/engaged" to learn from anime, no shit, you also have to put effort into learning from lectures or books or anything else.
Games were definitely "Better" in the early 2000's. The Advent of new game categories and implementation of new graphics tech, was unrivaled. Publishers we're pushing HARD for longevity and gamer attention share. Today is mostly remakes of old games. The same thing over and over and over. Games are stale, the grab isn't there, bc we've been there.
This can go both ways to be honest. On one side, a lot of smart ot creative people connect with niche mediums like anime and then on the other side, there are people who are interested in it just to go full degenerate.
I usually don’t agree with Joey and I hate when he’s confidently wrong, but he was correct here and there was absolutely nothing wrong with his response. Chat is dumb. The question was vague, but anime does not generally offer intellectual depth. Only an actively engaged and intellectually curious viewer will actually gain any sort of informational or cognitive enrichment, and only from a tiny minority of shows. Also, “smart” shows that touch on IRL topics almost always present them in wildly reductive and imprecise ways, which can be worse than zero information. There’s too many caveats to the argument that anime can make you smarter, the better general answer is no.
@@LAK_770based on an almost purely theoretical standpoint because of how vague the question is and the lack of any data. So it has no application to anything but this question. I saw some people making some wild statements on the clips that came out a while ago. I'm also gonna insert some statements I wrote for that clip later as a proponent for the fact that it does make you smarter, although due to the circumstances it cannot be set in as concrete of a base as yours does
@@lifesahellofarideI feel old because I don't need to look up the time period of the NES, lol. It was the first console my family owned. I often forget that due to how long we had our SNES, but I remember playing Duck Hunt with the plastic gun attachment on the NES.
Surprised they didn’t mention internet. 20 years ago a lot of homes still had dial-up. 15 years ago was the sweet spot of most homes getting high-speed internet, and stuff like RUclips and “competitive” gaming gaining popularity.
Honestly i find it funny how they compared Pokémon Gold to FF16 when Connor’s fave game is Jump King and it has 16-32 bit visuals. The reason I’d pick the video games of the past is at least we got the full and complete package.
EXACTLY, i forget how young joey and connor are, they were barely conscious enough to remember the games 20 years ago. i remmeber spider man 2, mario sunshine, HALO, fucking N64 was pure fun with pod racing and goldeneye
I can't believe the very first question. Garnt is right, ALL art can make you more intelligent. Just because most people just watch to turn their brain off doesn't mean it invalidates it. I learned about Ainu through Golden Kamuy for example, something I knew nothing about before. Avatar literally made me reevaluate my spirituality and morals.
THANK YOU. Someone with a brain. Connor basically dodged the question with that same argument and was like "Well, ignoring the 'can' of the question (which literally changes the question), I think no."
And, if you're a writer or an artist, watching anime can teach you a lot about animation, writing, artistic expression and all that. Becoming "smarter" isn't just about learning about other fields, learning more about the media of animation will make you smarter in relation to that topic. Also, like Garnt said, thinking critically is a skill that you can learn and improve by watching anime too
If you have even half of a brain, you tend to think about the media you just watched right? Like watching Evangelion makes you think "huh, being angsty and indecisive like Shinji sucks" or watching spice&wolf and going "oh yeah, I suppose that's how basic economics work" and you become better at bartering. Many other shows pose interesting morality situations and could get you thinking about how you'd act when put in that place. You learn about yourself mostly, and art doesn't tend to teach you things explicitly.
I disagree. I think it's a huge cope by people to justify watching anime. Yes, you can learn something from anime but you can learn something from almost anything. On top of that learning something =/= being smarter. Heck learning something wrong would actually make you dumber (which is the case when so many people learn wrong things about Japan from anime ). Your brain does not always have to consume things. A few hours of self reflection and sitting alone would do so many people better than always being distracted with shows. Not to mention anime is one of the shallowest media I have ever consumed and I say that as a Japanese. If you get into books or talking with people or travelling or even just thinking alone, you will realize that life itself has so much more depth and things to explore and learn. The most intelligent or deepest thing I have ever consumed related to anime might be vagabond or berserker and one of those manga is based on a book. It's okay to say that anime is just an entertainment media and you consume it for entertainment and that's a good enough reason. It's like when gamers say they play games to have better reflexes.
Joey: "What is the boundary between becoming smarter and more pretentious" Joey, I love ya man. But you should know EXACTLY where that boundary is because you flop all over it CONSTANTLY lol
Agreed. I expected Garnt to dive into that, but he argued learning about Japanese culture instead- which is a weaker argument tbh lol. Any media and art can develop our emotional intelligence greatly than without it.
@@sorenkairFor me, learning something new adds more to your experiences and general knowledge. If learning something new from Anime, sure, it gives you more thought on the idea but it doesn't make you smarter (If you get what I mean) like you just learned something and you grew from it, that's simple 😄😄
@@sorenkair yes, it makes you smarter. But being smart is not only about gaining IQ or getting better in acedemic, but you get better understanding how to see more some life perspective for ex: Koe No Katachi, Relife, Barakamon all of those animes are teaching about redeeming ourselves. Gintama, Hayate no Gotoku, Nichijou, Sakamoto, The legendary Kochikame and Crayon Shinchan give you knowledge about Japanese Comedy not in general but in one area you know there is kind of comedy that exists in Japan.
I feel like Q3 was kind of a given , the position they're in now is what everyone has dreamed of having. Not just the fame or money, but the rate of success and experiences they've had throughout their adult life. It's been nothing but great opportunities to so many fascinating places and meet amazing people in countries around the world, especially since the start of trash taste. So yeah, why would you change things in the past to create another path were you don't have the money or success that you have already?
Yea i agree but also looking at life of someone below I would say yes to change my life to make it better and for my family as well, so I would say neutral
RIP trash taste after dark. Tbh some of stream were mid but others like isekai one or try to not laugh were just peak, hope no longer maintaining after dark gives boys more time to make other content
I feel like with the last statement, Joey and Connor addressed a statement ‘Social Media is a benefit to *me*’ rather than looking at its impact on the entire society. I can choose to not use social media but I cannot choose for other people to stop using it. I would even go slightly disagree on this one.
Ya, that aspect was frustrating to listen to. They were arguing on a very person-to-person basis, and how it CAN affect people, rather than how it actually DOES affect people on a larger scale. Garnt was the only one who really answered the question.
Joey's argument for the first one is so shit. "Not everyone is gonna be watching for the intent of learning". Cool, I guess absolutely nothing would make us smarter then. You're only gonna be as smart as you are when you were born. For the gaming one, I would agree. Not because of the quality of the games, but because of the business practices being employed. Companies are far too happy to include predatory mechanics into games these days. I also feel that games are limited to two extremes now; they're either indie games or they're AAA games. Whatever happened to the, for lack of a better word, "mid-card"? Also, sports games were actually about the sports and not just a front for a casino.
13:54 ET??? Between 2003 and 2008? I asked chatgpt to generate a list of the top games released in those years and it seems like a powerful era lol The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (2006) World of Warcraft (2004) Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (2004) Halo 3 (2007) BioShock (2007) The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (2006) Gears of War (2006) Half-Life 2 (2004) Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (2007) Mass Effect (2007) The Witcher (2007) Resident Evil 4 (2005) God of War (2005) Portal (2007) Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (2004) Final Fantasy X (2001) - Re-released in 2002 and 2006 F.E.A.R. (2005) Bioshock (2007) Super Mario Galaxy (2007) Burnout 3: Takedown (2004) Shadow of the Colossus (2005) Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind (2002) - Expansion packs released in 2003 Civilization IV (2005) Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (2003) Team Fortress 2 (2007)
Also depends on the person. Some people, when they interact with art, completely turn their brains off and aren't interested in engaging with it in a deeper level - be it emotional or intellectual. Media literacy is at all-time low, and no media, no matter how well-crafted it was, can help someone who lacks the resources to approach it the way it yearns to be.
@@okapibibi then its not the medias fault, its the persons fault, if you really cannot learn anything after putting 100s if not tens of thousands of hours of your life into something then you are actually stupid beyond redemption.
"anime makes you smarter" - I think both Connor and Joey don't understand what the word "smarter" even means. They started conflating it immediately with becoming "useful". Yes, Anime makes you smarter, and it doesn't matter whether it makes you learn real or fake culture. How truthful the knowledge you learn is - has nothing to do with "smarting", it has everything to do with being useful. But learning a language, learning a culture, leaning an art style, learning a narration style that are foreign to you (no matter how realistic or unrealistic they are) makes you smarter by definition, because they stretch your brain, they force you to digest and adapt to new information, they force you to make new intuitive connections. It's a scientifically proven fact, that the way you reduce risks of developing dementia is by studying languages or solving intuitive puzzles as a hobby. Dementia makes you stupid, so the best way to prevent it is by doing smart things. Yes, Anime makes you smarter, and it's obvious. I'm so disappointed in Connor and Joey. They need to look into IQ and the concepts of fluid and crystalized intelligence.
I think watching anime can make you smarter. it's art and it can make you think more deeply about what you're consuming. I think that takes some intelligence
9:00 I think a lot of niche anime can grow interest in new things through plot and story. I legit learned several drinks from reading “Bartender”. Some stuff was wrong, but it made me research a lot of things.
100% especially since the question was "Anime CAN make you smarter" I would think the default/automatic response would be somewhat agree, because yes it CAN, it just might not in a lot of cases
On what Connor said at 1:17:15 about social media, "if it was really that bad for us, why would we all participate," I'd just like to chime in here that just because you do something doesn't mean it isn't bad for you. People do stuff that's bad for them all the time because a lot of the time, there's an impulse to do it. Social media is no different, they operate on algorithms that are designed to take in information about what you engage with and feed you more of it in a way that can game your brain's reward pathways and really fuck it up, depending on your level of exposure. Completely agree with Joe RoGarnt on this one. I do think Connor makes a great and interesting point about bad journalism being a problem before social media, and the internet allowing a more even playing field, but honestly I feel like that evening of the playing field is down to the internet itself rather than social media specifically. If anything, I find that social media tends to be a counter to fact-checking since if someone sees an article with tons of likes and comments affirming it, they are less likely to fact-check than if they see one with no indication of engagement. The reality is that most people simply do not check their news or sources because they do not have the time and (probably) want to lean in to their bias. Social media enables the worst of human instincts. I think if we all just kept 1-1 chat (and maybe allowed groups of up to a few people) and got rid of the rest, the world would be better off for it. Yes humans have always found ways of spreading negativity and misinformation, but to me that's kinda like the argument that gun control doesn't work because the perp would just use a knife. Like, yeah maybe, but one person can do a lot more damage with a gun than a knife. And that's not even getting into the prevalence of loneliness and parasocial relationships, as well as the business that have sprung up to prey on vulnerable people.
It’s funny Joey always talking about weebs being pretentious but I feel like he’s just jaded now and is the pretentious one 😅🤣 still love him tho no hate haha
I'd personally be on the side of the Gaming Industry was better years ago than it is nowadays. They released full games, no paid dlc bs, no half-baked games, no gacha, etc. There used to be a passion for the games they made and the communities they fostered. Now, it's all about rushing the devs as much as possible to be greedy as fuck. I should not have to pay $70 for an unfinished game. I hate that everyone has collectively accepted and normalized this half-assing from game companies. I hope Baldur's Gate 3 can wake some people up to what kind of games we should be presented with in the 2020's.
The boys really taking each statement seriously and going deep in discussion for the entire spectrum of each statement in terms of what the good and bad sides are just felt kinda different when you're use to them meming everthing😂But this was a very nice segment and I kinda learned more abt what goes on in their heads and how they feel about stuff
These guys built a career from anime and they can still be weirdly ashamed from it. Like ye it's anime but it can still be informative admitting that doesn't make you a degenerate.
I've only watched 40 minutes of this episode so far and it's making me feel depressed. The question about school and the question about going back to your past mainly. I've suffered so much bullying as a teen during school and I only found out I had severe ADHD last year, so I suffer from repressed memories as a 29 y/o. I don't remember a lot of my childhood and teenage years, and not even my early adulthood clearly because of that, I've been so emptied mentally for most of my teens and early adulthood that I went autopilot for so, SO long, and just hearing people having good memories about their earlier years makes me feel bad about myself. This episode is being hard to listen to while I work, but I feel like it's a duty to myself to think about where I am now and all I've been through compared to three dudes I have a weird parasocial friendship with.
Hey buddy, I'm at the same boat and well, I'm just about to complete university and my school life was so dogcrap that I suffered from severe impostor syndrome and severe bullying. I had the unfortunate luck of dealing with an abusive parent in an Asian country, so well, things didn't go well, I was depressed for so long and the fact that no matter how I want to change my decisions, the fact I'll have to relive my nightmares and my darkest times is a cost I'm not willing to pay. Anyways, TL;DR, you're still at your prime man, I know it's easy for me to just say "You've got your whole life ahead of you. And don't think of the past". But life rarely goes that way, so hope you are doing okay now, buddy.
@@JarlBalgruff_ Hey dude, thank you for your words. It means a lot to me and yes, I always rest assured it gets better, day by day. The future tends to be better than the past.
Its interesting, as someone who went through it and Like 80% of my school Life has been sh*tty but i Had a few very good years after moving and changing Schools, so i basically can relate to both,the Fond memories of the Last couple of years at school but the Bad memories are really so Bad that i would never be able to say i Miss it so i picked neutral for that one as well lol and for the time travel...i would try to Change Something that couldve saved the Life of my mom😢so yeah i guess the Boys didnt have that much Trauma, garnt kinda Had the best answers There. You guys are Not alone with Trauma/Bad stuff Happening and Life getting better after school❤
If you ever watched Yakitate Japan then you'd probably have a stock knowledge of random trivia. I mean there's no episode that you don't learn anything, there's also always the seed of knowledge segments after the end of every episode. Did you know that you couldn't get anaphylaxis from goats milk? I didn't. I learned it there. But still, double checking helps. So whatever it is you learn especially in anime double check it.
Yeah, me too! Back when anime was obscure, the only way I'd know who was an anime fan were the people who'd run like Naruto or try being expressive like the characters (Ex: Flailing their arms when talking). It was funny and I miss that!
I sprained my neck muscle swiveling so hard when I heard connor say "they had E.T. [15-20 years ago]". MAYBE TRY DOUBLE THAT TIME?! We're talking about 2003-2008, not the fucking 1900s. And listen, if all you do is play games to entertain yourself (JUST to entertain yourself, nothing wrong with that) then yes, of course the ones you played growing up, therefore their time period, would seem the best. But if you take games critically, then the AAA gaming space is at an objectively worse place. You pay more for less game, there's much less variety, everything coming out is part of a franchise or based on a franchise, there's been no significant leaps, so on and so on. I mean hell, compare wolfenstein 3d to doom to quake to quake 2 and then half-life. Then compare those to half-life 2 and bioshock. In the space of 6-9 years we've gone from blocky as hell, mostly gameplay-based storytelling to both graphically gorgeous games that hold up to this day and gameplay that on one hand revolutionized the goddamn industry and is the reason why every game coming out even today has a physics engine to one of the games that married gameplay and story in a way that elevated both them and the medium. Meanwhile, the modern AAA gaming has pretty much not been able to top games that came out in 2014-2017, if the fact that the last of us 1 got rereleased and blew so many people's socks off. Again. And even then, graphically the difference is negligible except that shit isn't, well, shit-colored anymore and faces look even more uncanny. And sure, some astute observers might argue "well graphics have pretty much peaked, it's not fair to compare the medium in its earlier days to now". 1-back then gaming had been a thing for 20 years alone, 15 of those spent after the NES came and codified the concept of game design. This wasn't the wild west. 2-then explain to me why in the sodding buggery have we had 2 nipple-chafing console generations that only sold themselves on what games they took hostage with only nintendo bringing anything innovative to the table. And people fucking gladly paid for it. You went from NES to SNES to N64 to gamecube to wii and you felt the leap each and every time. Same with ps1-3. But all this new power under the hood of ps4 and 5 and...we still spend most of the time smelling the main character's right ear as they shovel their ass around and quip glibly or glumly. And this isn't even getting into the sheer homogeneity inflicted on the space. Hell, back when the PS4 released we had two games that took place in two different time periods, one of them fictitious the other one with fantasy elements and they had different gameplay styles and yet they were both equally as dull! Remember order 1886 and ryse son of rome? Bet sony and microsoft hope you don't. Point is, the gaming medium WAS very different back then and AAA games were actually expected to be quality and worth the price instead of the same sodding thing with a different tiny flagpole on the sight of your gun. And sure, someone might argue "but indies!" and yes, I agree indies are fucking sweet. But when connor brings up E.T. for the atari 2600 then you know DAMN well we're talking AAA games.
The first question had the most overthought and trash set of responses that reminded me about the purpose of the podcast. Most anime make you smarter, the bare minimum that anime does to foreign viewers is present then with the fact that their media is not entire, and there is more culture beyond your country’s. For Japanese people, they get to learn more about their language and for some foreigners, it helps them learn another language. This was the equivalent of saying that you don’t become smarter with art, which is factually not true.
Connor needs to chill out on reading chat and reacting to everything he reads maybe he can do that on his channel but when on a group stream it's so arrogant and annoying poor garnt kept trying to make a point but Connor kept interrupting or laughing for what chat was saying
I somewhat agree were games better 15-20 years ago. Gaming industry now is pretty shit where back then most newbie companies put gameplay amd experience over profit. Also back then I was way more excited for new releases compared to now. I was so disapointed in the games con gaming trailers. Nothing was interesting.
Zom100 is imo shonen trash. I watched 5-6 episodes and it was just... not for me. Also, Social Media is a force multiplier where negativity will always be easier to amplify than positivity, so social media as a whole will never be good for humanity until it's more heavily regulated. It's brought both individuals and communities together, but it's also created a easily anonymized platform for harassment. You can't trust humans to be 100% responsible, 100% of the time; you can only trust humans to be human.

I absolutely love their friendship. I strive to be this close to any friend who's interested in my personality and weird takes. I'm just so introverted that I'm my own worst enemy. But anyway, I hope Trash Taste realizes what they have. Amazing friendship and family, that's very rare to find in today's world. Love you guys!
if it wasn't for anime, manga, light novel, web novel, and every doujinshi I have consumed for the past 5-6 years I wouldn't be able to get JLPT N1 easily don't get me wrong, you still do need to learn from another sources such as news, textbook, and stuff. but most of the question in JLPT is stuff I get from web novel and manga (tho I feel like my IQ keeps on dropping the more I consume them)
Games were better in the mid 2000’s. Than now. The only argument in favor of the games today is that we have better technology and more experience in the field. Unfortunately, it’s not the case. Many gaming companies make billions of dollars, have a team of 500 people and have the bets technology in their studio, yet lack the heart and passion to make a good game. Majority of triple A studios these days release buggy incomplete games and would rather update their store than fix issues their player base are begging to be fixed. Back in 2003 - 2008, triple A studios were sometimes innovating, but also making actual solid games. There’s a video on the timeline of Xbox 360 games that came out towards the end of that time period and those games alone can beat 99% of games today. Not only were many of them solid games that were actually fun, but they were actually complete. You didn’t have live service games back then that would release half the game and hopefully have all the originally promised content in a year. Back then the game was released completed and fun and that’s all that matters. Also saying a game is older with worse technology doesn’t mean the game is worse than one released today. I mean obviously you have a game like Hades made by a really small team compared to a triple A studio making an amazing game. They would have no where near the budget of a big studio, but their game was solid. Amazing from start to finish. Skyrim is becoming dated, but it’s such a fun immersive game that I can return to it any time. Gaming at the end of the day is about having fun and being entertained. Back then it seemed like developers actually cared about that. Developers today are too focused on their bottom-line and keeping advertisers and investors happy to make good games. Overwatch 2 is a prime example. They care more about their micro transactions than making changes that matter. It’s just sad when a good game comes out like Baldur’s Gate 3 and developers start crying about how they shouldn’t make it an industry standard or compare it to other studios. I personally haven’t played it, but I know the reception of the game is great. No one is going to compare the Baldur’s Gate team to a 50 person team or less with little experience in the field. That’s not the argument. The fact that having a solid and complete game is no longer the goals of these once great companies is terrible.
They all get a massive L for the gaming question. It's not about their opinions but rather the way they approached it. They basically compared retro games to modern games and went "yeap, newer look better so gaming is better now", which is dumb. Of course the graphics of the older games will seem dated now, and games of today will look like crap in 20 years from now - that's not the point. You have to compare being a gamer back then vs being a gamer now. And I think most people who were actively playing games in the early 00s will pick that era over what gaming has become now.
Anime can make you smarter, because all art can make you smarter and anime is just another art form. The problem... is that people have inmature ways of seeing anime, even when the anime is talking about very serious ideas. One Piece literally talks about racism, genocide, history, corruption, oppresion and liberation on a weakly basis. So much, that you completely understand where Oda stands in those issues. But there are still a lot of racist and classist fans of One Piece, because they are actively ignoring the messages Oda is explicitly saying. And I have to admit, that is a failure of the fans, not Oda. One Piece and many other series have pretty honest messages about the world, that many people are too broken or sorry to say, too dumb, to actually listen from those shows. Naruto is literally about how much war sucks and how becoming a human weapon without will is a bad thing, but many people would ignore that or not notice that they like those messages. People sometimes don't understand why they like stuff they like.
Personally, I would honestly pick a GBA game over a PS5 or Switch game. Pokemon Emerald has withstood the test of time and Megaman Battle Network 6 is one of my favorite games. They are both in my 3x3 Video games
The people who don't want to go back in time to change things don't want to lose what they have in the present and don't want to change their way of life, but if your life is crap they'd go back in time in a heartbeat.
Connor was the one that pointed out the word "can", and how that word alone does all the heavy lifting, and should therefore be ignored, as it clearly wasn't the intent of the question. Even he argued his entire point while openly ignoring the word "can". Stop trying to make it some sort of anti-joey thing. You're free to not like someone, but at least be consistent with your hate.
@@moistman3110 Its not an anti joey thing lol. If anything Im biased towards him because Im also Australian.. Im sure he'll be happy you came to white knight him in the comments though..
Btw "GOOD TASTE" is a name of a fastfood chain in the Philippines where it is love by many for it's affordable and big servings with really good tasting food for its value.
Really. The guys who grew up on jrpgs, halo and probably SuperMario 64. Think todays gaming is Better? Wow. We used to have magazines with creditable journalism(yknow instead paid for shills), cheat codes(instead of yknow DLC and Microtransactions and patches) and demo discs that allowed you and your best friends a crack at a new upcoming or game that they never tried before. So yall could make a informed decisions on your possibly one time purchase for the year. (Instead today we have a generation consisting of a bunch of uniformed pre-order idiots, who don't even bother checking youtube early playthroughs, influencing these hack studios, into putting out unfinished games with bs dlc and other microtransactions. And let's not forget the bs live service games. Looking at you Marvel and Overwatch 2.) But yeah today's gaming is so much better.
Anime sure. Even if for fun. The boys are wrong & want safe games/memes/their old game favs. Collectors research gems not only nostalgia. Pass ideas to Indies old/new. Modern gaming is bad sorry guys not gen loving. Tech/games before born hmm. Ideas DIED. So research/pass to Indies. Fair debate/dislike. Ryse Son of Rome came out 2013, God of War 2018 (besides the Uncharted/Last of Us following)took elements from it. That's fine but Sony games are all cinematic nowadays and third person where is the variety of PS1-3 hmm. People can play what they want but we got a mix of niche and safe now it's only safe due to management changes later. The PS5 is not exciting it's more power yet no new game design where is it I haven't seen any yet. Devs get lazy when they are on a innovation gold mine and ignore the tech possibilities or fan praise saying the right direction. The Steam Deck isn't rven new. It's good and a mix of elements I want to see of a controller on a handheld but Pocket PCs, GPD, Aya all before the 'popular brand did it then people care and take notice' sound familiar at other times of the industry, it happens all fhe time. Eternal Darkness sanity system? Thief's stealth system? Other examples? Hyrbids ruined some genres orhers are so boring of trends and not even doing anything interesting anymore not even quality of life parts worth mentioning. What 100th open world, cinematic, realistic..... yawn sorry what were you saying, they all blend together. Depends where you look and what you play. Ut if nothing exciting/innovating in modern. Buy up the ones that do and the rest retro to research ideas and get brains going for how to expand on those or make up new ones as inspiration. Hmm sounds like a good idea right then the ones not. Those can go to casuals or those still interested, us supporting the innovating ones. They already struggle to get support so someone/some of us have to right? If I didn't go back I'd have skipped my favourite puzzle games ever on PSP of all platforms. How 6th gen consoles have no gimmicks other than analogue face buttons, EyeToy on PS2, or GBA/GameCube for Dreamcast or Wii U like features says a lot for standard controllers yet so many mechanics are left behind by many games this are even 4th gen or 5th gen for second time 8bit approaches and first gen 3D polygons pushing and 6th gen 2nd gen of that besides the push away from FMV games to them being in engine or still FMV pre rendered cutscenes. But nowadays I need console gimmicks from PS/Nintendo to make me care unless the genre has a spin on it then I'm fine with no gimmicks on the controllers/console. But with so little innovation from some plays can you blame me getting bored with modern gaming if the past has ideas untouched and better aka no nostalgia just a wider perspective as a collecto and collector's tell people a lot about the past like historians that makes average people just wrong. Average people can enjoy what they want but I'd they want to say gaming is better now they need to be specific. Graphics sure. Stories yes. Game play or level design nope. I want a car builder mechanic in modern racing games, got them 15 years ago. I'm still waiting on that returning or other quality of life features and mechanics in the racing let alone other genres. Don't tell me oh nostalgia. Collector's seeking games not from their childhood can tell you otherwise that your opinion is wrong with more evidence. Tell me the last game that had Battlefield Modern Combat's swap feature or Driver San Francisco hijack feature? None. Where is the expansion on those? Then more realism and boring action adventure or shooter or RPG mechanics for years? Huh. Remember games without skill trees I do. Yes expansions existed 15 years ago I get it. Yes DLC for your horse came out with Oblivion, updates and MTX existed. You can prefer newer games that's fine but nostalgia I'm sorry but your just wrong. With Indies that aren't nostalgia inspired and AAs your telling me you guys buying AAA and meme worthy Indies to make content off of you say that so how can I believe you when you don't do the deeper research and what trends only AAA or memeworthy Indies. No just no. So Mario sports games having bad content followed up is a good thing? So New Leaf isn't better than New Horizons on how they handled updates. So old mechanics overlooked for the popular games aren't worth a second try just better marketed? Yeah think a bit and yeah sometimes there is more than surface level games with good ideas. Resident Evil was Sweet Home on NES revived on PS1. The metroidvania genre...... There is nostalgia and there is a spin on ideas from Indies. Viewfinder is a brilliant perspective game it is not a Portal game yet an IGN review would rather push for what they wanted or oh it could overtake it for good ideas oh no. Good I want a good perspective puzzle game has so since Echochrome on PSP/PS3 years ago. Never tell me oh nostalgia I prove people wrong I even research the dead corners of history and remember them. I look at dead failed game consoles and what they did and didn't do ahead of their time. What most people don't care about. Where is your evidenc I mean graphics sure but game play design has taken a nose dive 7th gen onwards so yeah 15 years ago it was better. Not even nostalgia I still find abandoned ideas through research of old games. Only some experiments have been good since 8th+ gen, but when most games are so bland on their own and peripherals and controller gimmicks are all I enjoy besides the what 2% of games with new mechanics Indies or AA. You guys have your preferences but when you want generic Sony games and whatever multiplayer/trending Indies games for content I stop listening. The racing genre is generic yet two gens ago filled with ambitious mechanics for it. I want a car builder, yet we haven't gotten those mechanics in 15 years because licensed, ads, nostalgia for cars and eSports have killed them. The career modes are trash. More focus on other things than genuine changes to the formula. Many other genres do the same thing. Some with fair spins on the genre, but most following trends and not innovating further. Tell me why Resistance 2 is trash. And 3 is better..3 has that Dev's prior games and other ideas back in it. 2 was a trend follower and the worst in the series. When a Dev did what they do best it was praised. When they followed the trend it sucked. When I can literally understand the potential of game design and they don't try hard enough that's when I call Devs on their BS and the marketing teams out because I know they didn't do it. Rift Apart is trash why because Crack in Time exists on PS3 in 2009. Any other examples like Test Drive Le Mans for a day. Ight cycle. We have seen attempts at it since but not really gotten past the basics it did we are still waiting for something to. I understand how the Wii U works and how dual screen phones can push past things. Does the average person nope. Dual screens have a future. Split screen in Microsoft Edge or other apps and games or swapping between them is awesome. I want dual instances on console like PC virtual desktops. Ever think that far ahead didn't think so. Shooters are bland besides a few titles. Hack n slash are doing great still with innovation in some areas. Tactics are still great at evolving.
Hey, for the 'can anime make you smarter ?", it depends on your definition of "smart". If it makes you understand people better (yourself included) then yes. If it makes you gain knowledge then yes. If it makes you understand the whole medium (so va, animation, production process etc ...) then yes. If you improve your logic and all then yes. Hell, you even can learn new languages and more. But inherently it will never make you "smarter". It's like any medium. Gaming can in a sense because you interact with it but it's really little. Sorry if it looks like a rant but anime made me grow a lot, to the point where i could say it saved my life, so i can't understand disagreeing with it changing you.
They also seemed to answer the question "anime will make you smarter" instead of "anime can make you smarter" which is nitpicking and semantics (kinda) but it does affect the answer a bit right? Can it? Yes. Will it? Probably not. But it depends on the person
This was by far the best After Dark ever. This was just all based takes. The biggest problem with this episode is that they didn't specify which type of isakei you came back from makes the show valid for continuation. Like if Joey came back as a vending machine, should trash taste continue? Seriously though, all the takes were so grounded and realistic. Loved it.
"gaming was better 15-20 year's ago." I feel like this question should be phrased as. "the impact of games from 15-20 years ago was larger." I feel like you can make strong arguments that early fantasy games, etc. Made such revolutionary changes and features with the likes of Morrowind, etc. Paving the way for the industry and making culture-defining changes. My reasoning is as tech progresses I feel it's near impossible to start making "worse games." but it's very possible to make *less impactful* games.
Nah, they’re crazy. You can say there was a lot of crunch and bad conditions in the gaming industry, but a lot of people were passionate in making the games fun. Most of the developers were GAMERS. They wanted to make sure their games were ready, fun to play, and send out. Some stayed up to work because it was their PASSION. Nowadays, most people making games hate video games or are genuinely trying to make easy money.
My biggest issue with this so far is these guys talked like15-20 years ago was Atari/Early PC/NES/SNES when it was actually Xbox 360, Dreamcast, PS2, Gamecube and PS3 days. Meaning 15-20 years ago the games they should have been arguing against are as follows. Bioshock, Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty Modern Warfare, God of War 2, Persona 3, Mario Galaxy, Halo 3, Portal, Half Life 2, Mass Effect, Team Fortress 2, Uncharted, World of Warcraft, Skate and Rock Band. And yes gaming was far better back then even as an 80s/90s kid 100% it was better than now and in some respects even better than the 90s. Also Pokemon Gold didn't come out in the early 2000s swing and a miss Joey. Honestly an awful take because they didn't know what they were talking about in the first place but that is Trash Taste for you. :P
Anime can provide some kind of value, yes. "Smarter' is a weird word to use, I wouldn't use that per se. It can teach good moral values, but not necessarily much practical knowledge (generally speaking, there are some exceptions). All the trash taste lads were actually right on that in their own way somehow, a rare thing to see indeed. Garnt is right that it can provide some value, Joey is right that only a few smart people can generally take much advantage of it, and Connor is right that most anime probably can make a lot of people dumber lol. As for anime being mainstream... I miss the old days of fansubs, but the amount of YT content is nice I guess, the anime coming out are solid enough I suppose, and the fact that I can make friends with people who share interests IRL much easier. I agree with Joey's take mostly otherwise, its a weird situation. People treat anime like its just part of their entertainment schedule and its kinda... RIP. I hope the industry doesn't change to pander to these people but it probably will. Rare Trash Taste W.
Most chill episode in awhile. I expected hot debates. Almost like they were about to be isekai'd. 😂 emotional episode isnt trashtaste style but i'm loving it!
I like this format of random questions and discussions, really nice if it isn't the norm but appear every once in a while
Yeah it reminds me of those Middle ground videos, pretty cool

It's wild that they answered no to "anime can make you smarter". Of course it can. Any piece of media can. No one's saying "use anime as your only source of information." Heck, if you use "stuff you learned in school" as your only source of information you're also bound to be misinformed about a lot of things.
Also saying that "you need to be curious/engaged" to learn from anime, no shit, you also have to put effort into learning from lectures or books or anything else.
Games were definitely "Better" in the early 2000's. The Advent of new game categories and implementation of new graphics tech, was unrivaled. Publishers we're pushing HARD for longevity and gamer attention share.
Today is mostly remakes of old games. The same thing over and over and over. Games are stale, the grab isn't there, bc we've been there.
I love the boys so much, genuinely my only source of happiness
Least parasocial person be like
Feel like the anime would actually make someone smarter, like watching Vinland Saga, and understanding the MC's viewpoint of why we shouldn't fight.
If Trash Taste ends and they make something new it should be called After Taste
This is such a good comment
I think the question actually meant would they continue trashtaste after they got isekaied instead of one of them getting isekaied.
Missed opportunity for this show tbh
@@headknocker2020actually true lmao
It still wouldn’t be the same if one of them got isekaid
The real question: Can you get smarter by watching Trash Taste?
Short answer: yes
yes (ive learned all my knowledge about america through TT 🦅🦅🦅)
Legit was smart as fuck before watching trash taste
@@t111ran3damn
No
dude garnt is actually so smart, I really like that they went the serious route with these statements
LMFAO you fucking troll. That's the funniest shit I've read all day.

7:30 watching Joey defend his take while the entire chat is spamming L take is hilarious😂
Chat on copium (although I do agree with Garnt lol)
This can go both ways to be honest. On one side, a lot of smart ot creative people connect with niche mediums like anime and then on the other side, there are people who are interested in it just to go full degenerate.
I usually don’t agree with Joey and I hate when he’s confidently wrong, but he was correct here and there was absolutely nothing wrong with his response. Chat is dumb. The question was vague, but anime does not generally offer intellectual depth. Only an actively engaged and intellectually curious viewer will actually gain any sort of informational or cognitive enrichment, and only from a tiny minority of shows. Also, “smart” shows that touch on IRL topics almost always present them in wildly reductive and imprecise ways, which can be worse than zero information. There’s too many caveats to the argument that anime can make you smarter, the better general answer is no.
@@LAK_770based on an almost purely theoretical standpoint because of how vague the question is and the lack of any data.
So it has no application to anything but this question.
I saw some people making some wild statements on the clips that came out a while ago.
I'm also gonna insert some statements I wrote for that clip later as a proponent for the fact that it does make you smarter, although due to the circumstances it cannot be set in as concrete of a base as yours does
@@ellusiv5121most people probably experience both sides to varying degrees
29:25 Connor: did they leave a note or something? 💀
probably the hardest I've ever laughed at anything said on trash taste
What I've learned from this is that Connor has no sense of time if he thought the NES was 20 years ago
had to look it up, this thing is fkn ancient
@@lifesahellofarideI feel old because I don't need to look up the time period of the NES, lol. It was the first console my family owned. I often forget that due to how long we had our SNES, but I remember playing Duck Hunt with the plastic gun attachment on the NES.
Surprised they didn’t mention internet. 20 years ago a lot of homes still had dial-up.
15 years ago was the sweet spot of most homes getting high-speed internet, and stuff like RUclips and “competitive” gaming gaining popularity.
Honestly i find it funny how they compared Pokémon Gold to FF16 when Connor’s fave game is Jump King and it has 16-32 bit visuals.
The reason I’d pick the video games of the past is at least we got the full and complete package.
EXACTLY, i forget how young joey and connor are, they were barely conscious enough to remember the games 20 years ago. i remmeber spider man 2, mario sunshine, HALO, fucking N64 was pure fun with pod racing and goldeneye
I can't believe the very first question. Garnt is right, ALL art can make you more intelligent. Just because most people just watch to turn their brain off doesn't mean it invalidates it. I learned about Ainu through Golden Kamuy for example, something I knew nothing about before. Avatar literally made me reevaluate my spirituality and morals.
Even if people choose to watch for entertainment and shut down their brain. They could learn without them realizing.
THANK YOU. Someone with a brain. Connor basically dodged the question with that same argument and was like "Well, ignoring the 'can' of the question (which literally changes the question), I think no."
And, if you're a writer or an artist, watching anime can teach you a lot about animation, writing, artistic expression and all that. Becoming "smarter" isn't just about learning about other fields, learning more about the media of animation will make you smarter in relation to that topic. Also, like Garnt said, thinking critically is a skill that you can learn and improve by watching anime too
If you have even half of a brain, you tend to think about the media you just watched right? Like watching Evangelion makes you think "huh, being angsty and indecisive like Shinji sucks" or watching spice&wolf and going "oh yeah, I suppose that's how basic economics work" and you become better at bartering. Many other shows pose interesting morality situations and could get you thinking about how you'd act when put in that place. You learn about yourself mostly, and art doesn't tend to teach you things explicitly.
I disagree. I think it's a huge cope by people to justify watching anime. Yes, you can learn something from anime but you can learn something from almost anything. On top of that learning something =/= being smarter. Heck learning something wrong would actually make you dumber (which is the case when so many people learn wrong things about Japan from anime ). Your brain does not always have to consume things. A few hours of self reflection and sitting alone would do so many people better than always being distracted with shows. Not to mention anime is one of the shallowest media I have ever consumed and I say that as a Japanese. If you get into books or talking with people or travelling or even just thinking alone, you will realize that life itself has so much more depth and things to explore and learn. The most intelligent or deepest thing I have ever consumed related to anime might be vagabond or berserker and one of those manga is based on a book. It's okay to say that anime is just an entertainment media and you consume it for entertainment and that's a good enough reason. It's like when gamers say they play games to have better reflexes.

Hi

Joey: "What is the boundary between becoming smarter and more pretentious"
Joey, I love ya man. But you should know EXACTLY where that boundary is because you flop all over it CONSTANTLY lol
Our definition of ‘pretentious’ is so diluted now. This comment was possibly a reflection of that lol
I think anime can make you emotionally smarter
Agreed. I expected Garnt to dive into that, but he argued learning about Japanese culture instead- which is a weaker argument tbh lol. Any media and art can develop our emotional intelligence greatly than without it.
True, rent a girlfriend, wonder egg project and Darling in the franxx increased my tolerance for cringe and disappointment.
Agree, GTO, gintama, and silence voice and Violet is really good and help me understand myself more
@@cyan_oxy6734LMAO
Vinland Saga make me want to be a better and kinder person
Anything new you learn from anime no matter how small it is, if it's of value it made you smarter even if it's by a fraction.
learning something new doesn't necessarily make you smarter, that's how well you can think
@@sorenkairFor me, learning something new adds more to your experiences and general knowledge. If learning something new from Anime, sure, it gives you more thought on the idea but it doesn't make you smarter (If you get what I mean) like you just learned something and you grew from it, that's simple 😄😄
@@sorenkair yes, it makes you smarter. But being smart is not only about gaining IQ or getting better in acedemic, but you get better understanding how to see more some life perspective for ex: Koe No Katachi, Relife, Barakamon all of those animes are teaching about redeeming ourselves. Gintama, Hayate no Gotoku, Nichijou, Sakamoto, The legendary Kochikame and Crayon Shinchan give you knowledge about Japanese Comedy not in general but in one area you know there is kind of comedy that exists in Japan.
@@bimapriambada1098That's PERSPECTIVE and consequently added WISDOM. Nothing to do with smartness, which is literally a synonym for intelligence.
এনিমে চোদা
This is one of the best segments they've had in a while now. Hope they bring it back again!
Connor: "It's hot as balls in here". Gaurnt " Yes my balls are pretty hot". Joey: " I have no balls".
I feel like Q3 was kind of a given , the position they're in now is what everyone has dreamed of having. Not just the fame or money, but the rate of success and experiences they've had throughout their adult life.
It's been nothing but great opportunities to so many fascinating places and meet amazing people in countries around the world, especially since the start of trash taste. So yeah, why would you change things in the past to create another path were you don't have the money or success that you have already?
Yea i agree but also looking at life of someone below I would say yes to change my life to make it better and for my family as well, so I would say neutral
RIP trash taste after dark. Tbh some of stream were mid but others like isekai one or try to not laugh were just peak, hope no longer maintaining after dark gives boys more time to make other content
"We'll be back next week" just like my dad. smh
I feel like with the last statement, Joey and Connor addressed a statement ‘Social Media is a benefit to *me*’ rather than looking at its impact on the entire society. I can choose to not use social media but I cannot choose for other people to stop using it. I would even go slightly disagree on this one.
Ya, that aspect was frustrating to listen to. They were arguing on a very person-to-person basis, and how it CAN affect people, rather than how it actually DOES affect people on a larger scale. Garnt was the only one who really answered the question.
Joey's argument for the first one is so shit. "Not everyone is gonna be watching for the intent of learning". Cool, I guess absolutely nothing would make us smarter then. You're only gonna be as smart as you are when you were born.
For the gaming one, I would agree. Not because of the quality of the games, but because of the business practices being employed. Companies are far too happy to include predatory mechanics into games these days. I also feel that games are limited to two extremes now; they're either indie games or they're AAA games. Whatever happened to the, for lack of a better word, "mid-card"? Also, sports games were actually about the sports and not just a front for a casino.

I think consuming any piece of media can make you smarter, it just depends on the type you consume
I'll always be grateful to those indian tutorial videos that were better than most of my teachers and professors
yeah but most people consume it as entertaiment not something to learn from and implement in life
Also depends on the person. Some people, when they interact with art, completely turn their brains off and aren't interested in engaging with it in a deeper level - be it emotional or intellectual. Media literacy is at all-time low, and no media, no matter how well-crafted it was, can help someone who lacks the resources to approach it the way it yearns to be.
you: any, but depends on the type
huh
@@okapibibi then its not the medias fault, its the persons fault, if you really cannot learn anything after putting 100s if not tens of thousands of hours of your life into something then you are actually stupid beyond redemption.
Bread aside, Garnt seems to most consistently have good takes in comparison to the other two.
He's older, and more mature. I'd imagine that monk training helped in his character arc and how he views the world.
"anime makes you smarter" - I think both Connor and Joey don't understand what the word "smarter" even means. They started conflating it immediately with becoming "useful".
Yes, Anime makes you smarter, and it doesn't matter whether it makes you learn real or fake culture. How truthful the knowledge you learn is - has nothing to do with "smarting", it has everything to do with being useful. But learning a language, learning a culture, leaning an art style, learning a narration style that are foreign to you (no matter how realistic or unrealistic they are) makes you smarter by definition, because they stretch your brain, they force you to digest and adapt to new information, they force you to make new intuitive connections. It's a scientifically proven fact, that the way you reduce risks of developing dementia is by studying languages or solving intuitive puzzles as a hobby. Dementia makes you stupid, so the best way to prevent it is by doing smart things. Yes, Anime makes you smarter, and it's obvious. I'm so disappointed in Connor and Joey. They need to look into IQ and the concepts of fluid and crystalized intelligence.
So trueee (i exclusively watch isekai trash)
I think watching anime can make you smarter. it's art and it can make you think more deeply about what you're consuming. I think that takes some intelligence
Yea i would say it develops are emotions intelligent specially as kids
Is the order a rabbit improved my iq by 200💯
I totally agree with you.
!so to Chino and Cocoa definitely. Or Rin and Nadeshiko
9:00 I think a lot of niche anime can grow interest in new things through plot and story.
I legit learned several drinks from reading “Bartender”. Some stuff was wrong, but it made me research a lot of things.
100% especially since the question was "Anime CAN make you smarter" I would think the default/automatic response would be somewhat agree, because yes it CAN, it just might not in a lot of cases
any sort of media can make you smarter tbh
only thing that will make you lose iq is if you read tweets or something
33:12 that Windows sound made me do a double take and I thought it was my PC lmao
was looking for this comment
On what Connor said at 1:17:15 about social media, "if it was really that bad for us, why would we all participate," I'd just like to chime in here that just because you do something doesn't mean it isn't bad for you. People do stuff that's bad for them all the time because a lot of the time, there's an impulse to do it. Social media is no different, they operate on algorithms that are designed to take in information about what you engage with and feed you more of it in a way that can game your brain's reward pathways and really fuck it up, depending on your level of exposure. Completely agree with Joe RoGarnt on this one. I do think Connor makes a great and interesting point about bad journalism being a problem before social media, and the internet allowing a more even playing field, but honestly I feel like that evening of the playing field is down to the internet itself rather than social media specifically. If anything, I find that social media tends to be a counter to fact-checking since if someone sees an article with tons of likes and comments affirming it, they are less likely to fact-check than if they see one with no indication of engagement.
The reality is that most people simply do not check their news or sources because they do not have the time and (probably) want to lean in to their bias. Social media enables the worst of human instincts. I think if we all just kept 1-1 chat (and maybe allowed groups of up to a few people) and got rid of the rest, the world would be better off for it. Yes humans have always found ways of spreading negativity and misinformation, but to me that's kinda like the argument that gun control doesn't work because the perp would just use a knife. Like, yeah maybe, but one person can do a lot more damage with a gun than a knife. And that's not even getting into the prevalence of loneliness and parasocial relationships, as well as the business that have sprung up to prey on vulnerable people.
It’s funny Joey always talking about weebs being pretentious but I feel like he’s just jaded now and is the pretentious one 😅🤣 still love him tho no hate haha
I'd personally be on the side of the Gaming Industry was better years ago than it is nowadays. They released full games, no paid dlc bs, no half-baked games, no gacha, etc. There used to be a passion for the games they made and the communities they fostered. Now, it's all about rushing the devs as much as possible to be greedy as fuck. I should not have to pay $70 for an unfinished game. I hate that everyone has collectively accepted and normalized this half-assing from game companies. I hope Baldur's Gate 3 can wake some people up to what kind of games we should be presented with in the 2020's.
The bois always cure my after school socializing mental anguish. Thanks for making the world feel better after a long academic day

"I learned alot about economics from spice and wolf" "Does it make me smarter in economics? No."

@@neoastral7950they don’t give themselves enough credit
I've only watched 40 minutes of this episode so far and it's making me feel depressed. The question about school and the question about going back to your past mainly.
I've suffered so much bullying as a teen during school and I only found out I had severe ADHD last year, so I suffer from repressed memories as a 29 y/o. I don't remember a lot of my childhood and teenage years, and not even my early adulthood clearly because of that, I've been so emptied mentally for most of my teens and early adulthood that I went autopilot for so, SO long, and just hearing people having good memories about their earlier years makes me feel bad about myself. This episode is being hard to listen to while I work, but I feel like it's a duty to myself to think about where I am now and all I've been through compared to three dudes I have a weird parasocial friendship with.
Hey buddy, I'm at the same boat and well, I'm just about to complete university and my school life was so dogcrap that I suffered from severe impostor syndrome and severe bullying. I had the unfortunate luck of dealing with an abusive parent in an Asian country, so well, things didn't go well, I was depressed for so long and the fact that no matter how I want to change my decisions, the fact I'll have to relive my nightmares and my darkest times is a cost I'm not willing to pay.
Anyways, TL;DR, you're still at your prime man, I know it's easy for me to just say "You've got your whole life ahead of you. And don't think of the past". But life rarely goes that way, so hope you are doing okay now, buddy.

You guys are Not alone with Trauma/Bad stuff Happening and Life getting better after school❤
If you ever watched Yakitate Japan then you'd probably have a stock knowledge of random trivia. I mean there's no episode that you don't learn anything, there's also always the seed of knowledge segments after the end of every episode.
Did you know that you couldn't get anaphylaxis from goats milk? I didn't. I learned it there. But still, double checking helps. So whatever it is you learn especially in anime double check it.
I miss when anime wasn’t maninstream only because of how many creepers it made.
Yeah, me too! Back when anime was obscure, the only way I'd know who was an anime fan were the people who'd run like Naruto or try being expressive like the characters (Ex: Flailing their arms when talking). It was funny and I miss that!

it is fuckin dogsheet. (i haven't watched it)
None of the writing is good. It's just plain crap. 4/10. just because I thought the first episode was not crap.
Nobody still has told Connor that leaving his marker uncapped for a long time dries it out.
I sprained my neck muscle swiveling so hard when I heard connor say "they had E.T. [15-20 years ago]". MAYBE TRY DOUBLE THAT TIME?! We're talking about 2003-2008, not the fucking 1900s.
And listen, if all you do is play games to entertain yourself (JUST to entertain yourself, nothing wrong with that) then yes, of course the ones you played growing up, therefore their time period, would seem the best. But if you take games critically, then the AAA gaming space is at an objectively worse place. You pay more for less game, there's much less variety, everything coming out is part of a franchise or based on a franchise, there's been no significant leaps, so on and so on. I mean hell, compare wolfenstein 3d to doom to quake to quake 2 and then half-life. Then compare those to half-life 2 and bioshock. In the space of 6-9 years we've gone from blocky as hell, mostly gameplay-based storytelling to both graphically gorgeous games that hold up to this day and gameplay that on one hand revolutionized the goddamn industry and is the reason why every game coming out even today has a physics engine to one of the games that married gameplay and story in a way that elevated both them and the medium. Meanwhile, the modern AAA gaming has pretty much not been able to top games that came out in 2014-2017, if the fact that the last of us 1 got rereleased and blew so many people's socks off. Again. And even then, graphically the difference is negligible except that shit isn't, well, shit-colored anymore and faces look even more uncanny.
And sure, some astute observers might argue "well graphics have pretty much peaked, it's not fair to compare the medium in its earlier days to now". 1-back then gaming had been a thing for 20 years alone, 15 of those spent after the NES came and codified the concept of game design. This wasn't the wild west. 2-then explain to me why in the sodding buggery have we had 2 nipple-chafing console generations that only sold themselves on what games they took hostage with only nintendo bringing anything innovative to the table. And people fucking gladly paid for it. You went from NES to SNES to N64 to gamecube to wii and you felt the leap each and every time. Same with ps1-3. But all this new power under the hood of ps4 and 5 and...we still spend most of the time smelling the main character's right ear as they shovel their ass around and quip glibly or glumly.
And this isn't even getting into the sheer homogeneity inflicted on the space. Hell, back when the PS4 released we had two games that took place in two different time periods, one of them fictitious the other one with fantasy elements and they had different gameplay styles and yet they were both equally as dull! Remember order 1886 and ryse son of rome? Bet sony and microsoft hope you don't.
Point is, the gaming medium WAS very different back then and AAA games were actually expected to be quality and worth the price instead of the same sodding thing with a different tiny flagpole on the sight of your gun. And sure, someone might argue "but indies!" and yes, I agree indies are fucking sweet. But when connor brings up E.T. for the atari 2600 then you know DAMN well we're talking AAA games.
The first question had the most overthought and trash set of responses that reminded me about the purpose of the podcast. Most anime make you smarter, the bare minimum that anime does to foreign viewers is present then with the fact that their media is not entire, and there is more culture beyond your country’s. For Japanese people, they get to learn more about their language and for some foreigners, it helps them learn another language. This was the equivalent of saying that you don’t become smarter with art, which is factually not true.
Connor needs to chill out on reading chat and reacting to everything he reads maybe he can do that on his channel but when on a group stream it's so arrogant and annoying poor garnt kept trying to make a point but Connor kept interrupting or laughing for what chat was saying
I somewhat agree were games better 15-20 years ago. Gaming industry now is pretty shit where back then most newbie companies put gameplay amd experience over profit. Also back then I was way more excited for new releases compared to now. I was so disapointed in the games con gaming trailers. Nothing was interesting.
Zom100 is imo shonen trash. I watched 5-6 episodes and it was just... not for me.
Also, Social Media is a force multiplier where negativity will always be easier to amplify than positivity, so social media as a whole will never be good for humanity until it's more heavily regulated. It's brought both individuals and communities together, but it's also created a easily anonymized platform for harassment.
You can't trust humans to be 100% responsible, 100% of the time; you can only trust humans to be human.

If the question "Can Anime make you smarter ?" yes it can but if you talking about the audience actually smarter after watching anime ? Definitely not
Well 15-20 years ago they made games to be fun and not treadmill money farms that a lot are made to be today..
i kinda prefer after dark lately
I absolutely love their friendship. I strive to be this close to any friend who's interested in my personality and weird takes. I'm just so introverted that I'm my own worst enemy.
But anyway, I hope Trash Taste realizes what they have. Amazing friendship and family, that's very rare to find in today's world.
Love you guys!
That hit me in the soul :(
real
if it wasn't for anime, manga, light novel, web novel, and every doujinshi I have consumed for the past 5-6 years
I wouldn't be able to get JLPT N1 easily
don't get me wrong, you still do need to learn from another sources such as news, textbook, and stuff. but most of the question in JLPT is stuff I get from web novel and manga (tho I feel like my IQ keeps on dropping the more I consume them)
Games were better in the mid 2000’s. Than now. The only argument in favor of the games today is that we have better technology and more experience in the field.
Unfortunately, it’s not the case. Many gaming companies make billions of dollars, have a team of 500 people and have the bets technology in their studio, yet lack the heart and passion to make a good game. Majority of triple A studios these days release buggy incomplete games and would rather update their store than fix issues their player base are begging to be fixed.
Back in 2003 - 2008, triple A studios were sometimes innovating, but also making actual solid games. There’s a video on the timeline of Xbox 360 games that came out towards the end of that time period and those games alone can beat 99% of games today. Not only were many of them solid games that were actually fun, but they were actually complete. You didn’t have live service games back then that would release half the game and hopefully have all the originally promised content in a year. Back then the game was released completed and fun and that’s all that matters.
Also saying a game is older with worse technology doesn’t mean the game is worse than one released today. I mean obviously you have a game like Hades made by a really small team compared to a triple A studio making an amazing game. They would have no where near the budget of a big studio, but their game was solid. Amazing from start to finish. Skyrim is becoming dated, but it’s such a fun immersive game that I can return to it any time.
Gaming at the end of the day is about having fun and being entertained. Back then it seemed like developers actually cared about that. Developers today are too focused on their bottom-line and keeping advertisers and investors happy to make good games. Overwatch 2 is a prime example. They care more about their micro transactions than making changes that matter.
It’s just sad when a good game comes out like Baldur’s Gate 3 and developers start crying about how they shouldn’t make it an industry standard or compare it to other studios. I personally haven’t played it, but I know the reception of the game is great. No one is going to compare the Baldur’s Gate team to a 50 person team or less with little experience in the field. That’s not the argument. The fact that having a solid and complete game is no longer the goals of these once great companies is terrible.
They all get a massive L for the gaming question. It's not about their opinions but rather the way they approached it. They basically compared retro games to modern games and went "yeap, newer look better so gaming is better now", which is dumb.
Of course the graphics of the older games will seem dated now, and games of today will look like crap in 20 years from now - that's not the point. You have to compare being a gamer back then vs being a gamer now. And I think most people who were actively playing games in the early 00s will pick that era over what gaming has become now.
Anime can make you smarter, because all art can make you smarter and anime is just another art form.
The problem... is that people have inmature ways of seeing anime, even when the anime is talking about very serious ideas.
One Piece literally talks about racism, genocide, history, corruption, oppresion and liberation on a weakly basis. So much, that you completely understand where Oda stands in those issues.
But there are still a lot of racist and classist fans of One Piece, because they are actively ignoring the messages Oda is explicitly saying.
And I have to admit, that is a failure of the fans, not Oda.
One Piece and many other series have pretty honest messages about the world, that many people are too broken or sorry to say, too dumb, to actually listen from those shows.
Naruto is literally about how much war sucks and how becoming a human weapon without will is a bad thing, but many people would ignore that or not notice that they like those messages.
People sometimes don't understand why they like stuff they like.
Finally a Nabi mic! Elevates the TTaD experience so hard!
why does the title get changed from the initial one every single upload?
Such a thoughtful and deep episode, really loving this one! 🥰
Personally, I would honestly pick a GBA game over a PS5 or Switch game. Pokemon Emerald has withstood the test of time and Megaman Battle Network 6 is one of my favorite games. They are both in my 3x3 Video games
The people who don't want to go back in time to change things don't want to lose what they have in the present and don't want to change their way of life, but if your life is crap they'd go back in time in a heartbeat.
Went to the Dublin Live Show yesterday and had a great time. Glad I got to see you guys live!
The question was CAN.. not, WILL EVERYONE.. Joey keeps arguing against his own answer. lol
He really loves being pretentious
Connor was the one that pointed out the word "can", and how that word alone does all the heavy lifting, and should therefore be ignored, as it clearly wasn't the intent of the question. Even he argued his entire point while openly ignoring the word "can". Stop trying to make it some sort of anti-joey thing. You're free to not like someone, but at least be consistent with your hate.
@@moistman3110 Its not an anti joey thing lol. If anything Im biased towards him because Im also Australian.. Im sure he'll be happy you came to white knight him in the comments though..
Btw "GOOD TASTE" is a name of a fastfood chain in the Philippines where it is love by many for it's affordable and big servings with really good tasting food for its value.
After dark LET'S GOOOOOOOOO
Was re watching old streams, was just finishing the beer tasting one. Good to have new one right before school starts🤌🏼
Really. The guys who grew up on jrpgs, halo and probably SuperMario 64. Think todays gaming is Better?
Wow. We used to have magazines with creditable journalism(yknow instead paid for shills), cheat codes(instead of yknow DLC and Microtransactions and patches) and demo discs that allowed you and your best friends a crack at a new upcoming or game that they never tried before. So yall could make a informed decisions on your possibly one time purchase for the year.
(Instead today we have a generation consisting of a bunch of uniformed pre-order idiots, who don't even bother checking youtube early playthroughs, influencing these hack studios, into putting out unfinished games with bs dlc and other microtransactions. And let's not forget the bs live service games. Looking at you Marvel and Overwatch 2.)
But yeah today's gaming is so much better.
whoa whoa whoa connor said ET 20 years ago?? bruh HALO WAS 20-15 YEARS AGO, CHILD I SWEAR!!!
Anime sure. Even if for fun. The boys are wrong & want safe games/memes/their old game favs. Collectors research gems not only nostalgia. Pass ideas to Indies old/new. Modern gaming is bad sorry guys not gen loving. Tech/games before born hmm. Ideas DIED. So research/pass to Indies. Fair debate/dislike.
Ryse Son of Rome came out 2013, God of War 2018 (besides the Uncharted/Last of Us following)took elements from it. That's fine but Sony games are all cinematic nowadays and third person where is the variety of PS1-3 hmm. People can play what they want but we got a mix of niche and safe now it's only safe due to management changes later. The PS5 is not exciting it's more power yet no new game design where is it I haven't seen any yet.
Devs get lazy when they are on a innovation gold mine and ignore the tech possibilities or fan praise saying the right direction.
The Steam Deck isn't rven new. It's good and a mix of elements I want to see of a controller on a handheld but Pocket PCs, GPD, Aya all before the 'popular brand did it then people care and take notice' sound familiar at other times of the industry, it happens all fhe time.
Eternal Darkness sanity system? Thief's stealth system? Other examples? Hyrbids ruined some genres orhers are so boring of trends and not even doing anything interesting anymore not even quality of life parts worth mentioning.
What 100th open world, cinematic, realistic..... yawn sorry what were you saying, they all blend together.
Depends where you look and what you play. Ut if nothing exciting/innovating in modern. Buy up the ones that do and the rest retro to research ideas and get brains going for how to expand on those or make up new ones as inspiration. Hmm sounds like a good idea right then the ones not. Those can go to casuals or those still interested, us supporting the innovating ones. They already struggle to get support so someone/some of us have to right?
If I didn't go back I'd have skipped my favourite puzzle games ever on PSP of all platforms.
How 6th gen consoles have no gimmicks other than analogue face buttons, EyeToy on PS2, or GBA/GameCube for Dreamcast or Wii U like features says a lot for standard controllers yet so many mechanics are left behind by many games this are even 4th gen or 5th gen for second time 8bit approaches and first gen 3D polygons pushing and 6th gen 2nd gen of that besides the push away from FMV games to them being in engine or still FMV pre rendered cutscenes.
But nowadays I need console gimmicks from PS/Nintendo to make me care unless the genre has a spin on it then I'm fine with no gimmicks on the controllers/console. But with so little innovation from some plays can you blame me getting bored with modern gaming if the past has ideas untouched and better aka no nostalgia just a wider perspective as a collecto and collector's tell people a lot about the past like historians that makes average people just wrong.
Average people can enjoy what they want but I'd they want to say gaming is better now they need to be specific. Graphics sure. Stories yes. Game play or level design nope.
I want a car builder mechanic in modern racing games, got them 15 years ago. I'm still waiting on that returning or other quality of life features and mechanics in the racing let alone other genres. Don't tell me oh nostalgia. Collector's seeking games not from their childhood can tell you otherwise that your opinion is wrong with more evidence.
Tell me the last game that had Battlefield Modern Combat's swap feature or Driver San Francisco hijack feature? None. Where is the expansion on those? Then more realism and boring action adventure or shooter or RPG mechanics for years? Huh.
Remember games without skill trees I do.
Yes expansions existed 15 years ago I get it. Yes DLC for your horse came out with Oblivion, updates and MTX existed.
You can prefer newer games that's fine but nostalgia I'm sorry but your just wrong.
With Indies that aren't nostalgia inspired and AAs your telling me you guys buying AAA and meme worthy Indies to make content off of you say that so how can I believe you when you don't do the deeper research and what trends only AAA or memeworthy Indies. No just no.
So Mario sports games having bad content followed up is a good thing? So New Leaf isn't better than New Horizons on how they handled updates.
So old mechanics overlooked for the popular games aren't worth a second try just better marketed? Yeah think a bit and yeah sometimes there is more than surface level games with good ideas.
Resident Evil was Sweet Home on NES revived on PS1.
The metroidvania genre...... There is nostalgia and there is a spin on ideas from Indies. Viewfinder is a brilliant perspective game it is not a Portal game yet an IGN review would rather push for what they wanted or oh it could overtake it for good ideas oh no. Good I want a good perspective puzzle game has so since Echochrome on PSP/PS3 years ago.
Never tell me oh nostalgia I prove people wrong I even research the dead corners of history and remember them.
I look at dead failed game consoles and what they did and didn't do ahead of their time. What most people don't care about. Where is your evidenc
I mean graphics sure but game play design has taken a nose dive 7th gen onwards so yeah 15 years ago it was better. Not even nostalgia I still find abandoned ideas through research of old games. Only some experiments have been good since 8th+ gen, but when most games are so bland on their own and peripherals and controller gimmicks are all I enjoy besides the what 2% of games with new mechanics Indies or AA.
You guys have your preferences but when you want generic Sony games and whatever multiplayer/trending Indies games for content I stop listening.
The racing genre is generic yet two gens ago filled with ambitious mechanics for it. I want a car builder, yet we haven't gotten those mechanics in 15 years because licensed, ads, nostalgia for cars and eSports have killed them. The career modes are trash. More focus on other things than genuine changes to the formula.
Many other genres do the same thing. Some with fair spins on the genre, but most following trends and not innovating further.
Tell me why Resistance 2 is trash. And 3 is better..3 has that Dev's prior games and other ideas back in it. 2 was a trend follower and the worst in the series. When a Dev did what they do best it was praised. When they followed the trend it sucked.
When I can literally understand the potential of game design and they don't try hard enough that's when I call Devs on their BS and the marketing teams out because I know they didn't do it. Rift Apart is trash why because Crack in Time exists on PS3 in 2009.
Any other examples like Test Drive Le Mans for a day. Ight cycle. We have seen attempts at it since but not really gotten past the basics it did we are still waiting for something to.
I understand how the Wii U works and how dual screen phones can push past things. Does the average person nope. Dual screens have a future. Split screen in Microsoft Edge or other apps and games or swapping between them is awesome.
I want dual instances on console like PC virtual desktops. Ever think that far ahead didn't think so.
Shooters are bland besides a few titles.
Hack n slash are doing great still with innovation in some areas.
Tactics are still great at evolving.
I learned everything cells at work could even begin to teach me in not even 2 days
Cells at Work putting a face and character on all the different cell types genuinely helped me study for a physio exam
@pancakedroid i do like thrombocytes, ill give them that.
This Episode got effing real
I learned that people die when they're killed from anime
Never would I have ever known. 5:50
Hey, for the 'can anime make you smarter ?", it depends on your definition of "smart". If it makes you understand people better (yourself included) then yes. If it makes you gain knowledge then yes. If it makes you understand the whole medium (so va, animation, production process etc ...) then yes. If you improve your logic and all then yes. Hell, you even can learn new languages and more.
But inherently it will never make you "smarter". It's like any medium. Gaming can in a sense because you interact with it but it's really little.
Sorry if it looks like a rant but anime made me grow a lot, to the point where i could say it saved my life, so i can't understand disagreeing with it changing you.
They also seemed to answer the question "anime will make you smarter" instead of "anime can make you smarter" which is nitpicking and semantics (kinda) but it does affect the answer a bit right? Can it? Yes. Will it? Probably not. But it depends on the person
Anime is art and consuming it can make you appreciate it on a deeper level. I think that takes intelligence
This was by far the best After Dark ever. This was just all based takes. The biggest problem with this episode is that they didn't specify which type of isakei you came back from makes the show valid for continuation. Like if Joey came back as a vending machine, should trash taste continue?
Seriously though, all the takes were so grounded and realistic. Loved it.
now i low key want to watch a episode with a sword, a slime and a vending machine.
my actual favourite part of the livestream the past vods were part of
"gaming was better 15-20 year's ago." I feel like this question should be phrased as. "the impact of games from 15-20 years ago was larger." I feel like you can make strong arguments that early fantasy games, etc. Made such revolutionary changes and features with the likes of Morrowind, etc. Paving the way for the industry and making culture-defining changes.
My reasoning is as tech progresses I feel it's near impossible to start making "worse games." but it's very possible to make *less impactful* games.
1:03:06 what, and risk them getting SHOT! As a american I can say this.
What if all 3 of you we're isekaid would you continue trash taste in isekai land
Trash Taste isnt an anime podcast. Strongly Agree
Where can I watch this live?
Try not to shit on HoYo for 1 episode challenge (Impossible)
Nah, they’re crazy. You can say there was a lot of crunch and bad conditions in the gaming industry, but a lot of people were passionate in making the games fun. Most of the developers were GAMERS. They wanted to make sure their games were ready, fun to play, and send out. Some stayed up to work because it was their PASSION. Nowadays, most people making games hate video games or are genuinely trying to make easy money.
I learned some cooking techniques from Campfire Cooking in Another World!!
My biggest issue with this so far is these guys talked like15-20 years ago was Atari/Early PC/NES/SNES when it was actually Xbox 360, Dreamcast, PS2, Gamecube and PS3 days. Meaning 15-20 years ago the games they should have been arguing against are as follows.
Bioshock, Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty Modern Warfare, God of War 2, Persona 3, Mario Galaxy, Halo 3, Portal, Half Life 2, Mass Effect, Team Fortress 2, Uncharted, World of Warcraft, Skate and Rock Band. And yes gaming was far better back then even as an 80s/90s kid 100% it was better than now and in some respects even better than the 90s.
Also Pokemon Gold didn't come out in the early 2000s swing and a miss Joey.
Honestly an awful take because they didn't know what they were talking about in the first place but that is Trash Taste for you. :P
The vod is finally up, nice!
Connor being the midle ground was funny and was fucking (EQ) smart of F
Anime can provide some kind of value, yes.
"Smarter' is a weird word to use, I wouldn't use that per se. It can teach good moral values, but not necessarily much practical knowledge (generally speaking, there are some exceptions).
All the trash taste lads were actually right on that in their own way somehow, a rare thing to see indeed. Garnt is right that it can provide some value, Joey is right that only a few smart people can generally take much advantage of it, and Connor is right that most anime probably can make a lot of people dumber lol.
As for anime being mainstream... I miss the old days of fansubs, but the amount of YT content is nice I guess, the anime coming out are solid enough I suppose, and the fact that I can make friends with people who share interests IRL much easier. I agree with Joey's take mostly otherwise, its a weird situation. People treat anime like its just part of their entertainment schedule and its kinda... RIP. I hope the industry doesn't change to pander to these people but it probably will.
Rare Trash Taste W.
For the first question : Evangelion, Akira how can you think that it's not made to make you think? Wtf
1:18:13 these answers piss me off. I swear Garnt is the only one who's still somewhat grounded.
Most chill episode in awhile. I expected hot debates. Almost like they were about to be isekai'd. 😂 emotional episode isnt trashtaste style but i'm loving it!
"If a Trash Taste member got isekai'd would we continue Trash Taste?"
Just substitute him with Chris. Problem solved. 😂
He has his own podcast though, gotta save some topics.
I'll take a quick moment to appreciate Connor's Hamster joke ... thank you
22:01 I didn't expect to get a philosophical lesson from Conner...
Can someone tell me who does that penis signiture belong to? I’ve been wondering for a while now
I could be wrong, but I think I remember seeing people say it was Michael Reeves'
@@riv7797Thank you!!! I think you’re right, just noticed the MR initials underneath
First question should've been answered with Vinland Saga 😢
If you consider anime as art than it can make you smarter, im guessingg the boys didnt consider the impact art can have on emotional intelligence.
5:15 is always a blast to rewind to
