Super Secret Q&A Time: May 2021!

You must be extremely young, selfish, and naive to the world. Yeah. "you" paid for that alright, so now he needs to meet YOUR every demand and now its all about you isn't it?. I wont bother any further with you

David Kiley

So? I payed for that so he needs to take the time to answer the questions.

asriel

long time fan first time patreon love your content and happy to show mah boy some love. my question is although you've grown up japanese and know the language fluently do you have any tips or suggestions for learning it or any other language for that matter? I'd absolutely love to travel there for vacation to see the sights and the scenery once everything calms down in the world for it to happen

Andrew Belenets

6 different questions in one month's q&a? Really? If you keep this up and others follow it might incentivize Joey to limit the questions more.

David Kiley

Hey, I feel like starting with Monogatari series. Could you recommend in which order I should watch it? I'm kind of lost by all of these anime serieses... Same goes for the Fate series. Could you recommend an order there, too?

asriel

So I have a question, is it possible for a fan to participate in the trash taste podcast?

Hey Joey, are you a fan if hiroya oku and have you read Gantz or GIGANT, If so what are your thoughts on them?

Any plans for more collaboration with other people from the JAV industry? I understand there are quite a few other actresses (both former & current) giving YouTube a shot too these days. What you have done so far (with Kaho etc) has made for some pretty fascinating content actually! :)

hey joey have you heard about honoo no toukyuuji dodge danpei? it's like kuroko no basket but with dodge ball, and do you have any idea where I can find an English translation/subtitles for it ( I only saw it in Arabic) ... also your thoughts about Kingdom manga/anime? peace and love from Saudi arabia

Faisal Al Tayash

What shoujo and josei anime/manga made you appreciate the deeper character stories?

m0nm0n

Hey Joey, have you read dochokkyu kareshi x kanojo? it’s a really funny romcom (with a bit of ecchi) that just ended and i think you would enjoy it a lot.

Brianna

Hi joey, i don't know if someone already ask this, and I'm sorry if someone did it, but are you still considering doing the video on Oyasumi Punpun?

Ed(always)win

Sup Joey, love your content. Have you ever read Umineko No Naku Koro Ni (The visual novel or Manga. Not the anime) and if you have who is your favorite character? Cheers!

On the trash taste hentai episode i loved Connor his reactions to your and Garnt's choices. That's it. Thanks for that one Joey <3

MorbidRainbow

Hey Joey, have you ever watched the Ancient Magus Bride? My boyfriend, who's also into anime, says it has a good mixture of action and romance. I subscribed to your videos recently after watching trash taste and really enjoy your content 😊

Sally Lee

Hey Joey, do you ever plan on watching the fate heaven's feel movies? I watched your MOC for october 2020 and you said that you believe mugen train is peak ufotable for the animation, where I personally feel Spring Song (Heaven's feel III) is much better than mugen train and ufotables peak (animation wise). Your thoughts? Thanks for all the amazing work you do!

David Kiley

I actually realized I might have a more important question, you can decide whether you answer both, or only one lol Do you think it's viable to be a writer in Japan who writes in english? I've been thinking about it for a while, and I couldn't really figure it out. Like I realize that it'd be quite ridiculously hard, given it's a country with barely any english speakers, but I came to the conclusion that I'd try to go for an overseas audience. I also thought about going to Bookwalker in the future, and I feel like you're the only "expert" I could ask about them.

Bence Szollár

What did you guys do with that love doll Aki brought home? Did you like her gift?

Aailom

What is the best order to watch monogatari?

Hey Joey, what is your favourite year for anime, and what is your favourite season in that year? And what is your favourite anime from that season? I'm asking because I am considering watching every single anime from a certain year.

Hey Joey, loving the patreon content so far! You've mentioned on Trash Taste that your buffer of videos was running dry, partly due to moving etc. How's the situation now? Did this have anything to do with the "revival" of the second channel? Thanks!

Where did you buy it? I want to know

SkipperN10

Hi Joey! I love your work. This might be a slightly weird question so you don't need to answer if you do no want to but I was watching your "Cultured Manga Tier List" and I couldn't help but wonder: how often do you pop a boner making videos like this? Thanks.

SkipperN10

Also, what's your opinion on Domestic na kanojo? Thx

Sory if already asked, but: have you watched Brynhildr in the Darkness (if you haven't, you should have done it) and also I wonder if you studied in the japanese or the Australian school? Greetings from Russia :3

Kinda curious since you are quite fluent in multiple languages, are there manga that you enjoy reading more in English as opposed to the original language? Probably not as major compared to dub vs sub but it was just a thought I had

Hey Joey, what do you think would be the best way to support the anime, manga, otaku industry (even if it is very limited) for someone who has just started earning their own money?

I have heard that a lot of Japanese words and phrases in anime and for example names of restaurants in Japan have a play on words on multiple "levels". Is that true?

asriel

Hey, what's your favourite J-pop/J-rock artist? Also where do you listen to them, if anywhere special, since some/most are not on spotify? Cheers

patros36

How long do you work in a week (it's up to you want to define work in this context)?

asriel

Hi, is there an anime you could recommend which is similar to Attack on Titan in terms of its unforeseeable, but reasonable plot twists?

asriel

Hey joey <3 i know that you said you have all the volumes of hunterxhunter and you are planing on reading it, but have you considered watching the 2011 anime first? don’t get me wrong hunterxhunter manga is a great manga and is one of my all time favorite manga but the anime (2011 version) in my opinion is perfect in every single aliment that i can easily say that it is my all time favorite anime and i really thing it will get you back to enjoy watching anime again.

Banan

Heyyo Joey, so regarding the last Q&A, you said that having multiple waifus is polygamy, and you won't stand for it. What do you think a Harem is? What do you think our bois Hyoudou Issei, Rito Yuki, Orimura Ichika would say?

Bence Szollár

A bit controversial but what is your opinion on redo of healer?

Do you test all of the products/games of the sponsors you include in your videos?

asriel

How much *cultured* media do you consume regularly?

Artemis

Top 5 anime OSTs? And favourite tracks from each if possible?

Will you ever plan to cover anime/game themes on your second channel? If you do what game/anime songs will you cover.

HarvZGames

I am planning to take a trip to Japan with my buddies next year n heard Spring is one of the best seasons to go. What is your opinion for the best time/months to visit and any other recommendations?

Tomoki88

Hi, Joey. I was always told you are not an adult until you look at something you did and thought wtf was i thinking. So with that said do you have one? If you feel you can share. (I'll go first i thought it would be a good idea to move in with my best friend it end with me and him fighting and one of us (him) going to jail so that was mine.)

aundria mallett

Screw it, I’m putting in an extra question. How is or was your day?

Dead

Hi, Joey! A while back you mentioned Nakayama Atsushi in a video and he quickly became my favorite artist/mangaka of all time. Do you have any more manga recommendations that are extremely pleasing and unique visually or just mangaka with unique art styles in general?

Dead

Hi! I this is the first time I'm asking questions! Nice to meet you bud! Do you like puns? I feel like the majority of anime I watched as a kid were fairly messed up now that I look back at them. Have you felt this way about any anime or manga before? My first few animes were: Candy Candy, Saber Marionette J, NGE and Serial Experiments Lain.

DreamingCannibal

Best pint in Sydney? and why fosters isn't it ? :D :D

My question is what are your top 5 favourite music artists so far this year?

Bruh Momento

Hey Joey, hope you manage to have time to yourself with your work. I wanted to ask, did you play any of the Rance games and if do, do you plan to do a video or else about it?

Leonardo Doujinshi

You have all the money you want, all the free time you want and nobody is judging you... what hobby do you pick up?

Timor Safian

Hey Joey! Just joined the patreon and wanted to let you know to take your time and that you have really good content <3 I think it is really cool that you have a rich music background. Do you watch other music youtubers like samurai guitarist or adam neely? You should definitely check out J-Music Ensemble, they make jazz covers of jrpgs and other j-games. And speaking of jazz, do you listen to any fusion bands, especially japanese fusion bands like Casiopea or even ALI who did the opening for beastars? sorry for the questions, its just really cool to see your two favorites cultures combine, "anime" and "music".

On the computer build, what troubled you the most? The number of people watching or the shit talking from the couch?

WT

If you and the bois had to train for a boxing match who would win

Homeless Transfem who cums

Hello Joey! Occasionally I run into people whose work I admire, and I let them be, since sometimes we all just want to go out for a drink in peace (and obviously, just because I consume their work doesn't make us friends, etc.). A few times, though, I've paid for their drinks as I leave - without interacting, mind you, just paying for their drinks. As a creator, how would you react if a fan did that for you? Do you think it would be odd, or would you appreciate it? I hope you have a good day!

No question from me this time, just hope you have a nice day and thanks for all you do :))

ONSK

Hey Joey! I'm not sure if this is something you've answered previously but why do you think Vagabond has not had an anime adaptation?

What books written by Japanese authors would you recommend? [outside of the light novel format] preferably some you know or assume are translated, for personal taste, I will ask for mystery, fantasy, sci-fi, and less contemporary fiction

YamiHotoke

Do you think that Studio GaGa should continue Berserk where Miura left off or do you think that Berserk lives and dies with Miura?

Light Yagami

Hey Joey! You and the boys brought up Godzilla in a Trash Taste episode and you said you were a fan. As a huge Godzilla fan I was curious which movies you have seen? Which is your favorite? Do you think you might ever do a Kaiju video or a Kaiju based Trash Taste episode? Loving all the content keep up the great work!

Sebastian Ferrari

how was your day so far?

What's ur favorite loli hentai? asking for a friend

Adrian Christoffer Rugelsjøen

Oi, what is your favorite catgirl hentai? Asking for a friend

Señor Headphone

I apologize if you've already answered this, but would you recommend reading or watching the monogatari series and why? Also have you read past the third season? What are your thoughts on it? Greatly appreciated!

The anime outcasts

Good afternoon young sir~ There's something that I've been wondering about. I watch a lot of the MOGRA streams on twitch, and I was wondering if you have ever gone to the location, and if you are into those types of places at all?

Elanau

Hey Joey! I love your monthly otaku collection videos as they always introduce me to a bunch of cool new manga to check out. For example, I got into the Nagatoro-san manga based on one of your recommendations. I actually collect the physical volumes as well and I love how colorful they look on my shelf. Just wondering, have you heard of the band Yousei Teikoku? They’re a gothic rock/metal band that I was first introduced to via the opening for Mirai Nikki. Since then I’ve listened to the rest of their albums and they’ve quickly become one of my all time favorite Japanese bands.

Alex H.

Thoughts on Alice in Borderland on Netflix?

I like Slice of Life animes like Lucky Star, Azumanga Daioh, Nichijou, but I'm not sure if I only like them just because of their Comedy Aspect and not their Slice of Life. Is there any anime that is just Pure Slice of Life and no comedy to sugarcoat them?

EZ-kun

Since you said that you replayed Perona 5 multiple times on the podcast, I'm curious as to who your P5 waifu is and why? Better be Makoto or Futaba.

Jose You

What is your opinion on Steins;Gate? Is it a good show?

Hey Joey, I’m from California and I just graduated community college and I’m starting University soon. I really want to get into my Unis study abroad program so I could go to school in Japan, I am vaccinated but I but I still would like to know the current COVID situation in Japan and how university is like over there for Japanese and foreign student. <3

Would it be possible for you to invite someone like https://twitter.com/TofferTeam on to the Trash Taste Podcast? They are an eroge games developer, as far as I know they are based in Japan and they are currently working on a very cool kickstarter game :) Im just a huge fan of both TofferTeam games and Trash Taste podcast and it would be awesome to see that interview :)

Azumi

I’m planning on studying abroad in Japan once I graduate high school what program do you recommend I go through?

Is there a way to follow what kinds of music you listen to(spotify, soundcloud, etc.)? cause i've noticed liking most recommendations you've given. I'm trying to broaden my rock/metal/rap horizons lately. I wish you a calm and stressless day. <3

MorbidRainbow

How do you manage to get wonderful opportunities of interviewing novel writers, can you tell us the process behind the scenes?

Alvin Law

I've recently gone on a mecha anime tear. Of course, your classic series such as Gundam, Ideon, EVA, Patlabor, and Metal Skin Panic, to name a few. If you dig the mecha genre, what is your favorite series and if you can dig deep into your heart, even your favorite show?

India Actual

In the Japanese learning community there is a debate going on if pitch accent or 高低アクセントactually matters. You're very fluent in both languages so your take on this would be very unique. Do foreigners who haven't studied pitch accent really sound that weird to japanese people? Is it like "oh they sound kinda foreign.. " or is it more like "I have to really focus to understand what this person is saying lol".

If you could have one day to go on vacation to anywhere in the world that you haven’t been, where would you want to go? Not to make it all awkward, but your content helps me when I’m at my lows so thank you for being yourself! It really means a lot. Keep it up! ^^

LoyalSerment

Do you think you will ever be able to have as a guest on trash taste the other hololive EN girls ?

i wanna start learning japanese but i cant find my motivation for that. it happens to me a lot. i played drums, bass and piano but quickly lost motivation and it will probably will happen with japanese as well even tho i want to know the language cuz it is a beautiful one and i love it. do you have any idea for what i can do about that?

Seeing Aki wrapping your figures in her move video, Do you store all your figure boxes flatten and toss the inserts? Does it de-value the figures value if you ever plan to sell any of them? Not saying you would since all those in your collection all mean something to you and I know thats most likely a big space saver to flatten the boxes.

Animator22

I recently got into Evangelion on your recommendation, and I love it! Where do you watch the Evangelion movies? Is there a correct order to watch them in? I’d love to hear your input. :)

Sin

Unsure if this has been asked before, but as a Singaporean (and knowing that you have visited Singapore before), what was your favorite moment from your trip(s) and what are your favorite dishes from the country?

Raveille

Is there any gacha games you would recommend? btw luv your videos!

Have you read the mangas, dress up darling or sweat and soap? If so, what do you think about them?

Jessie

What was the first anime that got you hooked? Mine was Serial Experiments Laine & it blew my mind. Definitely still relevant to this day. Love your content man! Hope you're doing well

Cultured_Individual69

Thanks to your video on it, I actually went out and bought my own copy of Euphoria to play. First time in years I ever 100% completed a game like it and greatly enjoyed doing so. Can you recommend a VN/anime/manga in that same vein?

John McKenna

thx for the recomediation. i've enjoyed it!

hi Joey.. love your content and of course with the bois in Trash Taste I wonder when we will hear what you bois think about gundam or even mecha (apart of Eva / Code Geass) in general? Maybe tour to Odaiba / Yokohama so see life size Gundam? cheers..

F. Collsaur

Hey Joey, Japan has been raising the bar constantly with what can be shown on tv with anime for example redo of a healer, reviewers, etc. considering this, what are your expectations with Japan on what can be allowed to be shown on tv without it being full blown hentai

Howdy, how ya doin joey. small question, how did shinobu became your waifu? since she is also my waifu. i was very happy the day i saw your video from u for the first time to hear that u love her aswell. Also, have you seen the 1/2 scale shinobu figure from furyuu? i missed out on the preorder so i couldnt get it. qwq

Shinobuswolf

Am I normal for thinking the first season of clannad is complete and utter garbage well after story is a 10/10 masterpiece?

Thank you for answering my question last time! After the news about Kentaro Miura, I just wanted to know if you could share a few of your favorite moments from the epic saga that inspired millions of people around the world to keep struggling? Sorry if this is bringing the mood down, but I really appreciate your take on big topics like this. Thank you.

Jaegermeister

Just wanted to talk about this cuz this is a great question, I honestly think it depends on whether or not Miura left any instructions behind. If he wanted the story to be finished, it should be, but if they don't know then maybe there's a way they can wrap things up a little more. Especially with where everyone is right now. I think if Guts chooses to leave vengeance behind they can wrap up the story within a couple chapters.

Jaegermeister

You and the boys have stated you would only have guests on Trash Taste that are in the studio. But a lot of folks on the subreddit have petitioned for ironmouse to be a guest. Since she can’t travel due to her medical condition, have you ever thought about doing interviews on the After Dark channel for folks like her that you boys or the fan base may want to see collab, but they can’t make the journey for whatever reason? Just thinking this may be a way to keep the rule of the main show but still interact with more people.

Blake Kercovich

YO Joey! Curious to know if you've got plans and getting any tattoos since the relaxation of tattooing laws in japan. Would you get anime/manga tats first or something completely different? Thanks

Buongiorno Joey! I started watching your content since the early days and experienced the evolution of the channel over the years. What has been an important change of direction for the channel? Personally i think stepping away from daily uploads really helped preserving the quality of the videos.

Michael W

If you had could create an anime from the ground up what would be its aesthetic, music, art direction, setting, etc.

David Granados

Hi Joey, knowing your love for the monogatari series, have you read the zaregoto series? If so what did you think of it?

cristi filip

Can I please have a hug? 😭

Sutashi

Small correction, the j is like an h. Now that you've tried both, do you prefer Gfuel or Gamersupps? I like Gamersupps, myself

Corbyn Mejia

Hi Joey! Thank again for answering my Muv Luv question last Q&A session. I really dig these impactful, inspiration and coming-of-age titles (like Oyasumi Punpun), and definitely want to keep my streak up. I asked you before on most inspirational moment in anime/manga, but for this question, which anime or manga character has made a significant impact in your life and what kind of lessons did you take from the character's story/actions that impacted your perspective in certain aspects of your life?

Jason V

I absolutely love that Leiji Matsumoto painting you have in your office, where did you get yours, and what's the best way to get one for myself?

If you have a chance to create a story for a manga, which manga artist would you like to collab with that you think can convey your story just like you envisioned?

chickenrice51

You missed my question last month so let's try this again - Chichi Chichi had a similar vibe to "Saotome Shimai Ha Manga no Tame Nara!?" Have you read that one? It's about a young mangaka and his two assistants, who are his sisters and VERY in love with him. Probably right up your alley. - Daenen

Douglas Whittaker

Hey Joey, have you watched/ read Bloom Into You, and if so, what are your opinons on it?

Finn Murray

What manga is similar to shuumatsu no walkure because I thought that was pretty cool

Do you listen to Kana Boon?

Antonio Vazquez

Fellow European here: bookdepository is still good.

Bastehrd

Hey Joey. Have you watched mekakucity actors from the Kagerō Project and if yes, did you liked it? I for myself really enjoyed watching it but I never found someone, who watched it to or talked about it, so I was wondering if you know about it. Also thank you for always bringing out so awsome content! Love it :3

Vilo

I enjoy the content of you putting light to underrated anime and mangas. Though I do wonder,have you ever thought of exploring the tokusatsu genre?

Johnson Do

With the recent passing of Kentaro Miura ( of which has left me devastated), what do you think of the future of Berserk, and if it does end up continuing, will you continue to read it?

Sheff

First just wanted to thank you for such great content as I’m always addicted to watching your videos when they drop. As a fellow creative which are you drawn to more, art/illustrations or the written word like in light novels? P.S. you have a bad ass collection of art and memorabilia.

MrMahoghany

Are there any plans for more "collab" videos with Aki? Love your videos together, much wholesomeness and fun ^-^

Aailom

Do you still hang out with alexi ?

What is your favourite non-anime show/movie

Tory Provenzano

Are there really places in Japan that only allow people of Japanese decent in?

Liam Rose

Do you know where can a manga lover buy manga in Europe ( particularly in Eastern Europe )?

Spasimir Trichkov

i just finished playing persona 5 so i wanna know who is your favorite character from the 5th game

How is the new house?

Have you read or heard about Tamarowa? I think you'd enjoy it. The simplest way I could describe it is if a hentai writer made among us, and the illustrations are pog af

ReHaz

While watching the video you just posted, "I regret not reading this manga sooner." I noticed in the background on your manga shelf that you have "Blue Flag" and I was wondering, if you have read it yet, what are your thoughts on it? It's something I picked up some time ago and had thoroughly enjoyed! Also just want to throw in some other "Blue" manga recommendations that I quite like lol, "Blue Period" and "Blue Giant" are also really great if you haven't read them already! Thanks for all your hard work, looking forward to future videos and I hope moving wasn't too stressful!

HikariU

How does one start off with creating content and writing scripts? I feel like once I start editing videos I have a little bit of a vision that I want to create, but every detail before editing (script, filming, etc.) is just a big question mark to me. What do you do when creating a script, and has it always been easy for you? <3

Calvin

If a big studio came to you and said you have blank check to direct any anime you want into a live action which one would you choose?

Hector

Second post, this time a question. What Motörhead albums do you recommend to metal heads?

Brumakian Productions

When the anime spring 2021 came around, the anime that caught my eye is Godzilla Singular Point on Netflix. Caught up with 10 episodes (thank you, VPN 👍) and HOLY! Highly recommend it. It deserves more love.

Brumakian Productions

a culture question, how is you're favorite from shoujo ramune

Me and my friends and my brother are all planning on going to Japan in a few years when things get more back to normal in the meantime what do you suggest we should do to get ready for when that day come side question would you and the boys be willing to hang out when this day comes

Who is your favorite catgirl, and why is it Chocola from Nekopara?
