just realized he stopped himself from throwing the hat down not because he wanted to control his anger but because it's the last memento he has of his brother holy shit
The stache falling off clearly signifies the turning point for this character, losing every shred of humanity and who he was prior to the loss of his brother. Truly masterful writing, Pizza Brothers is a literary masterpiece.
Thomas Manga really threw us all for a loop with this character development. The anime's choice of having an upbeat intro but an emotional outro with "Pepperoni Pizza Pie~" shows the contrast of loving pizza and yet at the end of the day questioning the value of what it all means. "A Slice of Life" really is in a class of its own. Such an original piece of content.
That's the dub name, you uncultured scrub. It's called "Piza Kyoudai" in Japanese, which means pizza brothers. Get it right. (Please don't think I'm actually attacking you, I promise it's just a bit.)
Headcanon: His brother gave him the hat on their opening day, when he made his first pizza for his friends just before closing time. He stood by his side the whole way, never stepping in directly, but giving him direct and indirect advice that later doubles as life advice. Maybe it was talent, maybe it was beginner's luck, or maybe it was his brother's coaching and his own love of the craft, but there was something special about it. Every last one of them knew it the moment they tasted it, perhaps none moreso than his childhood friend, who stayed behind the longest to tell them she'd happily work with them when they started hiring. She loved him, of course, and his older brother knew it. He looked forward to seeing them work together, slowly nudging them in the right direction until they finally spit it out and got together. But that could wait; for now, they headed up to the roof of their pizza parlor. It wasn't a remarkable view by any means, only reaching two stories at most, but at this exact time of day, when they sat on their chairs and looked out towards the bay, they could see the sun setting over the seaside shacks and summer homes, as flags danced in the wind all along the glistening waters. That day, as they sat and talked, he gave his little brother his old chef's hat, the same one he had worn when he used to cook for them when their parents were out of town. They didn't say much that evening, due to a mix of exhaustion from a hard day's work, and emotion at their dream finally coming true, but that simple gift said more than words ever could. He loved him, and he was proud of him, and he looked forward to watching him grow, both as a chef and as a person. The accident was two weeks later.
When the title translates to *‘Pizza Brothers’* this whole episode makes a lot more sense, of course the loss of a brother would affect the tone of the show.
@@cube4547 I actually think he’s a really good voice actor when he’s doing it seriously. If you’ve ever heard him officially voice act you’ll know how good it is.
Everyone else has commented on how great an actor SungWon is in this, so I'll just leave this comment to hope that he does a full Anime-Style "That's Amore" cover
Honestly tho he isn't even trying to write a full show but still gets those typical emotional beats perfect. I mean he is an voice actor so makes sense I guess.
Everyone goes berserk over ProZD’s vocal performances but his scripts never disappoint either! I was so invested in the drama of the scene that I almost jolted out of my seat when the OP started.
The opening of The Promised Neverland always gets me. An orphanage of adorable children, raised like cattle so their brains can be subsumed by demons, and then in comes the "YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!" pop beat.
It cuts literally half a second after it falls off, he did break character. It would have been funnier to hold the scene for another moment post moustache fall off, but he broke.
it falling off then immediately cutting to the other character was funny in itself, i was expecting it to be back on when it cut back to him but no it was just gone
Sure, the mustache falling off might seem like a comical gag at first, but looking at it from a more analytical angle makes it much more tragic. Perhaps the mustache falling off represents the emotional state of Pepperoni Pete at this point in the "Fallen Slice" arc. The more Pete let's the grief for his deceased brother consume him, the more he loses his old, pizza pie loving self. It's tragic and beautiful.
The symbolism in this anime is really what gets me. The falling mustache which foreshadows his descent into darkness, and (spoilers from the manga) the later growth of the mustache during his redemption arc - plain artistic brilliance.
The silence at the end of the dialogue was just perfection, and even though you saw the goofy song coming it still just killed. ProZD's timing on things is just so good.
Granted he’s a professional actor, but I love that he puts so much effort into these dramatic scenes even though it’s just going to be subverted by a joke. It could be just good enough to make the joke work but he goes all in.
I can't believe Slice of Life went this hard in the third season, I was so worried the creators lost the original artistic direction when they abruptly changed the theme song in-between the second and third season, but if you think about it it's actually quite symbolic of the main character wanting to embrace the childish spirit his brother so brightly held, but he's too scared to be vulnerable again.
So my personal theory on why the main character's mustache falls off during this fight is because it's a fake mustache, it's something he uses to project a more mature appearance to everyone he meets, not just to get respect but to emulate his brother and his mature nature. It falling off his face is meant to symbolize the false persona he's built for himself starting to (or continuing depending on your perspective on the timeline) fail as the people around him begin to see through his act. That's why when he grows his own mustache in the final arc it symbolizes his growth as a person and becoming the kind of person his brother wanted him to be.
I agree with your take, but I believe Pizza Bro Jr realized his independence. He took the steps to be the person that he wanted to be, and, as a result, grew beyond the expectations he set on himself and his older brother's shadow.
Two brothers, young and bold Lovers of pizza, forever told Their bond is strong, their love is true For pizza, they will always queue From the streets of Tokyo To the hills of Italy, oh oh oh Their passion knows no bounds For pizza, they will always be found Through thick and thin, through good and bad Their love for pizza, never to be had Two brothers, united as one In their love for pizza, the battle's won! So come and join their quest For the ultimate pizza, at its very best Two brothers, a love so pure For pizza, their adventure's just begun!
The Japanese in the outro is ピザ兄弟, pronounced "Piza Kyoudai," and literally translates to pizza siblings. Any other PiKyo fans hyped for the new season?
The moustache, the only thing left of his brother after the oven accident, is a symbol of the protagonist's wish to keep his dead brothers' legacy alive. It falling, more importantly the protagonists inattention to it falling, demonstrates how anger and guilt have slowly taken the place of his love for his brother and how his self punishment is leading him to push all of the good things in his life away. Deep stuff.
Deep.. like Chicago pizza. Stuff.. like the cheesy crust of my favorite frozen brands. I agree 100% (like the 100% real tomato sauce on Paul Newman's vegetarian pizza options)
The only thing that would have made it better would have been if he pulled off the blond wig with the hat as the other character... Emotionally symbolic hair loss...
Hahaha! I was just watching what I think is the saddest episode of Fullmetal Alchemist. I was in tears, but was busting out laughing afterwards because my husband grabbed my hand and started dancing with me to the upbeat ending song. 😂
An upbeat ending theme is usually a bad move, since you know there’s gonna be that one episode that makes people bawl and you can’t just have a sick guitar riff and peppy lyrics after that
Saddest episode? Has to be either Nina or Hughes. Considering you were in tears as the ending started my guess is on Hughes since it basically gut punches you right at the end of the episode.
Actually, he took his chef hat off with the hand that is usually holding the camera. I would say that is why the character looked down at his hand. He realized what he had just done. He broke this: ua-cam.com/video/AUatO4HFuCg/v-deo.html First he loses his mustache, then he breaks reality. Truly one of the most skits I've ever watched.
I'm way more invested in the Pizza Bros Anime than I should be. The idea of two Brothers opening a pizzeria to fulfill their dreams only for one of them to die and leaving the other so distressed that he vows to never make pizza again is strangely compelling. Especially since I'm imagining that plot twist to come out of nowhere and completely taking us the audience by surprise just like it does the characters. Also I unironically love how you kept acting despite the moustache falling off. Fantastic performance
Exactly! The antagonist is actually the 'dead' brother who faked his own death because he felt like he was not getting the respect he deserved and was living in the shadow of his brother. How else would you explain the antagonist knowing the weakness of each and every recipe his brother threw at him in the Cook-Off season 1 finale episode?
I think we're at the point where someone needs to make a barely-even-ironic fanfic of this, because I genuinely want to know more about these characters.
Ok but I'm always genuinely impressed at how good your acting is to be able to play such ridiculous scenes completely straight and really sell the scene XD
Not always! Zankyou No Terror (Terror in Resonance) is very dark, and the opening & outro (ft. Yuuki Ozaki "Trigger", Aimer "Dareka Umi Wo") are the saddest anime themes of all time 😢 but yeah usually the intros are high energy no matter what the show is about 😆
I love how after the mustache falls off and he takes off the hat in anger it's literally just ProZD without any kind of character prop on standing there dramatically.
He really hasn't changed from when he started. He's improved, yeah, but this is a sketch on par with his other sketches in terms of heart. It blesses my soul that he puts love into all of these sketches. They're timeless.
Diana is the girl that everyone thinks is going to fall in love with the chef, right up until this scene when we all realize that there’s just no way they can make it work.
I was thinking more plot twist that Diana used to be his brother girl friend but keeping it a secret that's why she's concerned about the younger brother.
Diana will come back, she needs this job too..not for the money or the fame, but because she needs to prove to herself she can do this. We still don't know Diana 's backstory, but in the manga...oh boy.
@@fanskucing597 I don't think they were involved romantically, but the brother may have actually been the one to teach Diana how to make pizza in the first place.
We already know what a tremendous voice talent you are, but clips like this, remind us that you have incredible range as an on-screen talent, as well. I felt the dramatic tension, until the moustache fell off, then I just died.
The fact that someone made a metal instrumental cover of Amore is surprising and actually amazing at the same time. Why aren't more people talking about this on top of the incredible acting and writing?
@@aeron8293 The fact you call it cringe makes me laugh. Maybe it's not your genre but someone else enjoys it so maybe you should let them have their fun.
Absolutely. And the 'you think you know' line shows a level of nuance to this type of scene that really elevates it. The combined scenes so far comprise the pizza Anime equivalent of Up's beginning sequence.
I much prefer the season 1 opening “Toketa Inochi no Kakera,” (roughly translated to “Slice of Melted Life”). It was completely original and a lot of time and care was put into it (not to mention the animation was stunning). With that being said, I was really disappointed when they gave into the memes and used “Sore ga amōre,” as the opening and “Pizataimu” as the ending. It was at that point it became clear that the company only cared about the ratings and NOT John Manga’s original story.
@@willowism I actually wouldn’t fully blame John Anime, though. He was just doing what the head of the corporation (John Corporate) told him to do. If anything, I’d blame John Government for making laws that censored a lot of stuff in the anime that had parallels to real-world politics. They had to cut a lot of stuff from the manga just to air it on public tv.
Major vibes of the first half of MHA season 3. A super dramatic and dark, angst and action filled episode.....followed by the cheeriest ending song you'll ever hear.
I feel like Sungwon could get like a full-budget drama series on TV with his ideas, and I don't know if I'd rather see him worked to death playing every single character like the skits or having a full cast
There's this anime from about 11 years ago I rewatch with randos on the yearly. It's about a young girl who joins the military since it's the only place that will still teach music. The world has long gone to shit with everyone fighting over the last resources left on the planet, but she's stationed next a wasteland so shenanigans ensue instead. It's usually pretty light hearted and the ending song reflects that by exploding into a song about friendship and love. Well some of the episodes end with a heavier tone like a dead grandma or crying orphans or a gun fight. And you can guess the mood whiplash that comes when the scene ends and the ending song comes on.
Always reminds me of Victory Gundam. Opening felt like the good guys are winning and overpowering the bad. Shouldn't have watched it. Same goes for Soldiers of Sorrow in the original. First heard in the ps2 game Federation Vs. Zeon. Always thought what a cool rock song. Welp reading the lyrics, wasn't sure why it was so hopeful.
@@sb15skg sora no woto it's one of my fav anime!!! i'ts great, there is a n oav where it's all a battle with waterguns but it gets super intense as if they are really dying
@@sb15skg The other two got it. Looks like it's on Crunchyroll. The OVA is numbered 7.5 which is kind of an odd spot for it. Episode 7 was one of the heavier stories and so episode 8 already follows up with a slow episode about waiting around a phone. Though doubling up on the comfy isn't such a bad idea depending on how you feel about episode 7. Fun fact: This is part of a trio of shows under "Anime no Chikara". TV Tokyo and Aniplex wanted to fund more anime original productions and so they partnered with A-1 who made this show, Senko Night Raid, and Occult Academy; the stories don't have anything to do with each other.
The only manga I ever read entirely from start to finish *(yay for stories that are self contained and end eventually)* was called Kitchen Princess, and it was about a little girl who was an amazing chef and her friendship with two brothers, one of whom died, so safe to say regardless of the underlying joke this video kind of gave me a little deja vu.
Gods, that was genius on so many levels. Hearing an anime-style version of That's Amore got me seriously psyched, it's something the world absolutely needs!
i know this is a huge thing for the pizza bros lore and all and it _is_ incredibly gripping but can we talk about the fact that we've reached one of the incredibly rare times where Sungwon has put down the camera for a shot and it doesn't seem to be taken by anyone else, just a tripod it's an advancement in angles it's an advancement in the lore the characters... have access to both arms.
I was so genuinely captivated that I sincerely didn't notice the mustache falling off until the comments pointed it out. Bravo on that surprise gag, the expected gag, and the dramatic chops!
The mustache falling off is a beutiful metaphot of him "letting go" of the memory of his brother. The same mustache that he wore when he was alive, abandonig his face as he doubts of his brother's dreams. Truly, this is NOT just a show about pizza... it's about the people you share it with.
I love how the mustache falling off at the end signifies the loss of his true passions when he talks about losing his brother since he was his initial inspiration to keep going even when it was hard and he was heartbroken from his fiance running off with the Garbage boy. You can also tell that it's not an animation mistake because the mustache is still gone at the end of the scene. It even mirrors the fact that his father died after losing his own facial hair in the great Restaurant Wars where they shaved their captives symbolically before execution. I know a lot of people say it's a sloppy show, but they just don't see the little details showing how much the creators really understand and the unique way they express the themes of the show.
i love how although i have never seen this video before as soon as he said "i dont make pizza" i right on the timing said with him "not anymore" . Prozd u remain ever so brilliant with these reenactment of the most cheeziest of animes. thank u for ur work
This is turning into the spiritual successor to King Dragon and I love it. Just like how we had a full game by the end of that, we’re gonna have a full anime by the end of this.
I love it especially when the first episode or so does actually match the tone of the theme song and then it gets darker real quick so that they are out of sync in tone. This also reminds me of a game I played recently: Murder by Numbers. In one of the final chapters, there is a literal gun fight and the main characters are caught in the middle of it. You have to find a way out by doing a Picross puzzle and the freaking music is so upbeat and cheerful that it is super jarring when you get back to the intense drama of the story.
The drama... The mustache falling off... Him not bothering to put the mustache back on (It's gotta mean something!!) And just the... SHEER SADNESS that they both share but can't work through... Art. Pure art. Also, that opening is pretty neat.
Ive noticed this more often in the closing credits lately, often times presenting a completely different genre than the actual series, sometimes a better one
I feel like these early parts of the series are best served by rewatching them. I remember the first arc in particular being really slow on first viewing but after getting to know both where the characters were before now and where they’re going to end up, well I’d be sobbing if I wasn’t in complete awe at the level of planning and foreshadowing that goes into this show that it manages to rival the likes of One Piece
just realized he stopped himself from throwing the hat down not because he wanted to control his anger but because it's the last memento he has of his brother holy shit

The moustache, the only thing left of his brother after the oven accident, is a symbol of the protagonist's wish to keep his dead brothers' legacy alive. It falling, more importantly the protagonists inattention to it falling, demonstrates how anger and guilt have slowly taken the place of his love for his brother and how his self punishment is leading him to push all of the good things in his life away. Deep stuff.
Deep.. like Chicago pizza.
Stuff.. like the cheesy crust of my favorite frozen brands.
I agree 100% (like the 100% real tomato sauce on Paul Newman's vegetarian pizza options)

"Kurapika is now drowning in indescribable sadness"
*sick guitar with badass drums*
I legit want to see a full series of this concept
I actually think pizza bros is a really old concept of ProZD, if you look you can find some stuff from like a decade ago
Love how these are basically just pizza brothers the manga
@Jack Wrath what the fuck
It’s called Ghost Stories (English Dub version)
I would reccomend to you the hit new series "The Bear"
Even though I read the title, I was still not prepared for the anime intro equivalent of getting hit with a flash bang
I know! it really hit me in the eye like a big pizza pie
I couldn't figure out what anime this could be so I didn't know what kind of opening to expect
“Don’t tell me what my brother would’ve wanted; We’ll never know what he would’ve wanted now.”
I physically felt thaf, though.
I love this pizza saga. They should make an anime already.
@our hero yep. I totally clicked on that link.
Who’s they?
@@thevioletbee5879 lizard people
I love this text. They should make it a comment already.
I'm surprised no one making pizza anime yet... It seems bound to happen sooner or later.
I know this is supposed to be a joke but he's just such a good actor that I want more
I’m pretty sure he has a video on all the anime characters he’s voiced acted on the past but I think it’s outdated
He voiced a boss battle in Yakuza spin-off Lost Judgment which has a banger theme
I appreciate that you can hear the stache fall on the floor when it changes perspective at 0:33. Really kept me immersed.
I like how he doesn’t put the mustache on after it falls off. Meaning it’s an intentional piece that signifies tension
holy schmokes, thats genius
It's a fake mustache that he wears to be more like his brother! Did you not read the manga?
The only thing that would have made it better would have been if he pulled off the blond wig with the hat as the other character... Emotionally symbolic hair loss...
@@melvint-p9500 ...but Older Brother never had facial hair, did he?
0:32 Damn, that's some fast character development, my guy lost facial hair out of pure stress
Hunter x Hunter Knov be like
Winston Payne at the end of Turnabout Memories
And it stays off. Continuity goes hard.
Hahaha! I was just watching what I think is the saddest episode of Fullmetal Alchemist. I was in tears, but was busting out laughing afterwards because my husband grabbed my hand and started dancing with me to the upbeat ending song. 😂
An upbeat ending theme is usually a bad move, since you know there’s gonna be that one episode that makes people bawl and you can’t just have a sick guitar riff and peppy lyrics after that
@@longbeing
Kurapika is drowning in despair
*Guitar riff*
Saddest episode? Has to be either Nina or Hughes. Considering you were in tears as the ending started my guess is on Hughes since it basically gut punches you right at the end of the episode.
@@raziel710 Good guesses. It was when Nina died. Hughes dying was super sad too, but didn't make me cry surprisingly.
@@longbeing That's when you run just that episode with the silent credits sequence and it hits way harder
The way prozd still hid his hand even after changing to a tripod is art
Keen eye! 😆
Actually, he took his chef hat off with the hand that is usually holding the camera. I would say that is why the character looked down at his hand. He realized what he had just done. He broke this: ua-cam.com/video/AUatO4HFuCg/v-deo.html
First he loses his mustache, then he breaks reality.
Truly one of the most skits I've ever watched.
@@MagicalDanny Not even sure if that's a typo or if this really is one of the most skits you've ever watched.
@@aef34234dfx morbius bro
it's canon now that the skit characters only have one hand
I'm way more invested in the Pizza Bros Anime than I should be. The idea of two Brothers opening a pizzeria to fulfill their dreams only for one of them to die and leaving the other so distressed that he vows to never make pizza again is strangely compelling. Especially since I'm imagining that plot twist to come out of nowhere and completely taking us the audience by surprise just like it does the characters.
Also I unironically love how you kept acting despite the moustache falling off. Fantastic performance
Yeah, I imagine the twist happening like it did in Gurren Lagann.
@Vaccinated Kid oh my god I'm hoping that you didn't get vaccinated rn
Wow. Pizza Bros. That’s a throwback.
Exactly! The antagonist is actually the 'dead' brother who faked his own death because he felt like he was not getting the respect he deserved and was living in the shadow of his brother. How else would you explain the antagonist knowing the weakness of each and every recipe his brother threw at him in the Cook-Off season 1 finale episode?
These bots man jesus
Relevant to Dungeon Meshi episode 11
I think we're at the point where someone needs to make a barely-even-ironic fanfic of this, because I genuinely want to know more about these characters.
No you dont
@@यशवर्धनसिंह-म3थ Yes actually we all do
@@Noahdaz You dont't know. You can say you know, you can say you understand, but you Don't.
Look at the comments from last time, people wrote bascially entire epsiodes.
Go watch the Bear.
The fact that the mustache wasn't put back on after it fell really speaks to the pain the character felt
GROUSE????
Ok but I'm always genuinely impressed at how good your acting is to be able to play such ridiculous scenes completely straight and really sell the scene XD
Almost like he's an actor lmfao
@@BlueDragon1504 Isn't he a voice actor? That's a totally different kind of actor.
@@justinjakeashton Voice actor is still an actor. He's played a live action role in the past too though.
He's also just straight acting in these videos
Yo🔥ua-cam.com/video/rdJ9bsN7JAw/v-deo.html..
i legitimately get so invested every time he makes one of these videos, this feels like it could be an actual anime
No matter how dark the anime is, the opening always pops the F off
Death Parade.
@@facelessfan8203 I was gonna say it. It’s like the law of anime that if the anime is depressing the OP must be go hard asf.
lain
Evangelion and Cruel Angel Thesis come to mind.
Not always! Zankyou No Terror (Terror in Resonance) is very dark, and the opening & outro (ft. Yuuki Ozaki "Trigger", Aimer "Dareka Umi Wo") are the saddest anime themes of all time 😢 but yeah usually the intros are high energy no matter what the show is about 😆
I love how after the mustache falls off and he takes off the hat in anger it's literally just ProZD without any kind of character prop on standing there dramatically.
0:48 Is it just me or does he look like he's greenscreened into his own kitchen?
its just you
I know he's a professional actor but his acting is really good in this
He really hasn't changed from when he started. He's improved, yeah, but this is a sketch on par with his other sketches in terms of heart.
It blesses my soul that he puts love into all of these sketches. They're timeless.
Diana is the girl that everyone thinks is going to fall in love with the chef, right up until this scene when we all realize that there’s just no way they can make it work.
I was thinking more plot twist that Diana used to be his brother girl friend but keeping it a secret that's why she's concerned about the younger brother.
@@fanskucing597 This is a good theory!
Diana will come back, she needs this job too..not for the money or the fame, but because she needs to prove to herself she can do this. We still don't know Diana 's backstory, but in the manga...oh boy.
@@fanskucing597 I don't think they were involved romantically, but the brother may have actually been the one to teach Diana how to make pizza in the first place.
YES! THIS IS WHAT WE WANTED! It is so refreshing to see a director listen to their audience. We wanted better art quality, and we got it!
The Stache dropping was one of the most tragic moments in anime history.
I wanna be that guy and say this isn’t anime, come at me bro
We already know what a tremendous voice talent you are, but clips like this, remind us that you have incredible range as an on-screen talent, as well. I felt the dramatic tension, until the moustache fell off, then I just died.
Well ye voice actors are actors :) they can perform well on screen alongside off of it
Me too, then the mustache falling off made me laugh until I cried
What really got me is that he didn't put the moustache back on between cuts. It just stayed gone.
Yo🔥ua-cam.com/video/rdJ9bsN7JAw/v-deo.html..
This is basically like if The Bear was an anime
i was searching for this comment.
to not break character when the stache fell off is the most impressive thing ive ever seen in my life
Yeah i thought the same
Would it crush you emotionally to consider the possibility that he might have attached a piece of fishing line and pulled it off intentionally
The fact that someone made a metal instrumental cover of Amore is surprising and actually amazing at the same time. Why aren't more people talking about this on top of the incredible acting and writing?
Surprisingly or not surprisingly in my case, there's a metal cover for every song out there, and if there isn't, there will be soon.
That is a very good point.
@@Topdoggie7 it's like a rule of the internet at this point. Edit: rule 34.8 states: "There is dubstep of it, no exceptions." so i was close!
dude there is a cringe metal cover of everything that exists
@@aeron8293 The fact you call it cringe makes me laugh. Maybe it's not your genre but someone else enjoys it so maybe you should let them have their fun.
As a huge sailor moon fan, I recognize that moon wand proplica and I just want you to know how much I appreciate that effort to canon. 10/10
Once again ProZD reminds us that, on top of being hilarious, he can act EXTREMELY FUCKING WELL
Absolutely. And the 'you think you know' line shows a level of nuance to this type of scene that really elevates it. The combined scenes so far comprise the pizza Anime equivalent of Up's beginning sequence.
I much prefer the season 1 opening “Toketa Inochi no Kakera,” (roughly translated to “Slice of Melted Life”). It was completely original and a lot of time and care was put into it (not to mention the animation was stunning).
With that being said, I was really disappointed when they gave into the memes and used “Sore ga amōre,” as the opening and “Pizataimu” as the ending. It was at that point it became clear that the company only cared about the ratings and NOT John Manga’s original story.
Such an apt reply. Truly worthy of the artistry evident in every episode. The sub is so much richer than this dubbed cut though.
John Manga would be so disappointed at John Anime's butchering of his work
Here before John anime copyrights this
Wait is this a real anime
@@willowism I actually wouldn’t fully blame John Anime, though. He was just doing what the head of the corporation (John Corporate) told him to do.
If anything, I’d blame John Government for making laws that censored a lot of stuff in the anime that had parallels to real-world politics. They had to cut a lot of stuff from the manga just to air it on public tv.
I was laughing through the whole thing because I knew exactly what was coming, and I was not disappointed. The moustache was just icing on the cake.
Same! I was suppressing my fits of giggles and then burst out laughing when the music started xD
THIS MAN DESERVES ALL THE AWARDS AND MEDALS FOR THAT ACTING, I was actually legit getting choked up until the ending credits, lol.
and then you just choke 😆
I mean he is an actor
That was the opening credits, this was just the pre-opening setup scene.
@@wmooring Yeah, it’s called a “cold open” or “pre-credit” scene.
Major vibes of the first half of MHA season 3. A super dramatic and dark, angst and action filled episode.....followed by the cheeriest ending song you'll ever hear.
wow I forgot about this song until now. I was trying so hard to remember. time really flies
I feel like Sungwon could get like a full-budget drama series on TV with his ideas, and I don't know if I'd rather see him worked to death playing every single character like the skits or having a full cast
Make crunchyroll bring back anime crimes division! I’d watch a third season even if it was the last
There's the full series Anime Crime Division on UA-cam already if I'm not wrong. Just look it up.
@Skinny Legend This is going way too far man
There's this anime from about 11 years ago I rewatch with randos on the yearly. It's about a young girl who joins the military since it's the only place that will still teach music. The world has long gone to shit with everyone fighting over the last resources left on the planet, but she's stationed next a wasteland so shenanigans ensue instead. It's usually pretty light hearted and the ending song reflects that by exploding into a song about friendship and love. Well some of the episodes end with a heavier tone like a dead grandma or crying orphans or a gun fight. And you can guess the mood whiplash that comes when the scene ends and the ending song comes on.
Always reminds me of Victory Gundam. Opening felt like the good guys are winning and overpowering the bad. Shouldn't have watched it. Same goes for Soldiers of Sorrow in the original. First heard in the ps2 game Federation Vs. Zeon. Always thought what a cool rock song. Welp reading the lyrics, wasn't sure why it was so hopeful.
What's this anime called? It sounds really interesting to watch!
@@sb15skg
I think it's "Sound of the Sky"
@@sb15skg sora no woto it's one of my fav anime!!! i'ts great, there is a n oav where it's all a battle with waterguns but it gets super intense as if they are really dying
@@sb15skg The other two got it. Looks like it's on Crunchyroll. The OVA is numbered 7.5 which is kind of an odd spot for it. Episode 7 was one of the heavier stories and so episode 8 already follows up with a slow episode about waiting around a phone. Though doubling up on the comfy isn't such a bad idea depending on how you feel about episode 7.
Fun fact: This is part of a trio of shows under "Anime no Chikara". TV Tokyo and Aniplex wanted to fund more anime original productions and so they partnered with A-1 who made this show, Senko Night Raid, and Occult Academy; the stories don't have anything to do with each other.
The only manga I ever read entirely from start to finish *(yay for stories that are self contained and end eventually)* was called Kitchen Princess, and it was about a little girl who was an amazing chef and her friendship with two brothers, one of whom died, so safe to say regardless of the underlying joke this video kind of gave me a little deja vu.
Gods, that was genius on so many levels. Hearing an anime-style version of That's Amore got me seriously psyched, it's something the world absolutely needs!
@bignosebillybass
Lmao you’re right, so unbearably cringeworthy 💀
@@Samstar369 it's really not that bad lmao
An anime would have absolutely changed the rhythm to triplets instead of the original syncopated rhythm for an end theme.

Damn, even his mustache left him
The comedy characters always leave during these scenes. Moustache had no place here.
not everyone commenting Dungeon Meshi episode 11 😭😭
i know this is a huge thing for the pizza bros lore and all and it _is_ incredibly gripping but can we talk about the fact that we've reached one of the incredibly rare times where Sungwon has put down the camera for a shot and it doesn't seem to be taken by anyone else, just a tripod
it's an advancement in angles
it's an advancement in the lore
the characters... have access to both arms.
Oh. My. GOOOOsh. Can you IMAGINE the possibilities!?!?
I JUST DIED AT THE FINAL SENTENCE. *SIR*
THEN HE LOOKS AT HIS HAND SO AS TO SIGNIFY THE IMPORTANCE OF THE MOMENT!!!
I was so genuinely captivated that I sincerely didn't notice the mustache falling off until the comments pointed it out. Bravo on that surprise gag, the expected gag, and the dramatic chops!
Man hes such a good actor.
@Jason Voorhees You seem obsessed.
Fun fact: The ending text translates to “Pizza Brothers”
Wish it was "Pizza Brothers: A Slice of Life"
@@ritxman now it is
The mustache falling off is a beutiful metaphot of him "letting go" of the memory of his brother. The same mustache that he wore when he was alive, abandonig his face as he doubts of his brother's dreams. Truly, this is NOT just a show about pizza... it's about the people you share it with.
Yeah, it's a metaphot all right...
The mood whiplash moment where it went from a melodrama sequence into an upbeat metal cover of that's amore got me cracking up.
The continuation we didn’t know we needed
Here’s your first bot-free reply cookie! 🍪
I love how the mustache falling off at the end signifies the loss of his true passions when he talks about losing his brother since he was his initial inspiration to keep going even when it was hard and he was heartbroken from his fiance running off with the Garbage boy. You can also tell that it's not an animation mistake because the mustache is still gone at the end of the scene. It even mirrors the fact that his father died after losing his own facial hair in the great Restaurant Wars where they shaved their captives symbolically before execution. I know a lot of people say it's a sloppy show, but they just don't see the little details showing how much the creators really understand and the unique way they express the themes of the show.
Finally it’s here YES ua-cam.com/video/oHg5SJYRHA0/v-deo.html YOYOYOYOY YES FINALLY IT IS HERE
literally Dungeon Meshi episode 11
I was so into the plot I didn't even notice the mustache falling off until I checked the comments.
Same...😭
Same lmfao
This two characters have the same voice actor (you won't believe this):
-shous chef chan
-king dragon
Well they did reference it in the convection episode!
Hey talked to him (his voice actor in universe) and everything!
Dunmeshi you cant just do this to me
The Part where the mustache fell off was just perfection.
@Jack Wrath begone bot
I think it would have been funnier if the mustache was back on in the next shot
It’s creepy how much I want a full series about every one of your skits.
Can't be creepy if we all agree on it!
i love how although i have never seen this video before as soon as he said "i dont make pizza" i right on the timing said with him "not anymore" . Prozd u remain ever so brilliant with these reenactment of the most cheeziest of animes. thank u for ur work
I can close my eyes right now and imagine anime characters speaking out these English lines with this video
This is turning into the spiritual successor to King Dragon and I love it. Just like how we had a full game by the end of that, we’re gonna have a full anime by the end of this.
I love how your mustachio has a mind of it's own for over a decade now.
I love it especially when the first episode or so does actually match the tone of the theme song and then it gets darker real quick so that they are out of sync in tone.
This also reminds me of a game I played recently: Murder by Numbers. In one of the final chapters, there is a literal gun fight and the main characters are caught in the middle of it. You have to find a way out by doing a Picross puzzle and the freaking music is so upbeat and cheerful that it is super jarring when you get back to the intense drama of the story.
A lot of puzzle games are like that.
You should watch School-Live if you haven't already.
Can we talk about how good the acting is in this. like its shockingly good.
yeah it's like he's a professional voice actor or something, crazy
@@catoticneutral Not everyone knows that, for some people this is their first video
@@catoticneutral I mean, there is a difference between being an actor and being a voice actor
Sometimes I forget he's a really good visual actor as well as a really good voice actor
The drama... The mustache falling off... Him not bothering to put the mustache back on (It's gotta mean something!!) And just the... SHEER SADNESS that they both share but can't work through... Art. Pure art. Also, that opening is pretty neat.
Ive noticed this more often in the closing credits lately, often times presenting a completely different genre than the actual series, sometimes a better one
The second Kill la Kill ED in a nutshell.
when the fuuto tantei characters all just dance
If it were the ending the unfitting music would have started halfway through the scene drowning out the dialog and destroying the gravitas.

@@BonaparteBardithion Like in the latest season of Overlord?
Dungeon Meshi episode 11.
This is beyond superb. 10/10.
Also I'd love to see a full "That's Amore" OP
"We'll never know what he would have wanted now." Probably for your mustache to stay on, at least 😂 That was hilarious timing!
So how about that new Dungeon Meshi episode?
I feel like these early parts of the series are best served by rewatching them. I remember the first arc in particular being really slow on first viewing but after getting to know both where the characters were before now and where they’re going to end up, well I’d be sobbing if I wasn’t in complete awe at the level of planning and foreshadowing that goes into this show that it manages to rival the likes of One Piece
Damn I actually caught myself holding my breath there. That was amazing acting
