MAMBO NO. 5! – CITY: The Animation (Dub) | Episode 11 Reaction
Hello everyone. Welcome back to City the Animation. This is episode 11 out of I believe 13 in this show. Um I’m really looking forward to jumping into this. I love this show. We’re coming towards the end I think of the whole series which I’m I’m very sad about that. But um but I wonder like I’m imagining you know we’re going to have some some silly stuff going on. But I wonder what like the last episode’s going to be. Is it going to like wrap up? I mean, I imagine it’s got to try to wrap up some of these story lines, but it also could just be like a and life goes on kind of story, you know? Um, it doesn’t need to do like a major sort of finale since it’s it hasn’t really been a story show necessarily anyway, but there are a few character things that are going on that I would like to see how they play out. Um, so, uh, so yeah, I’m excited to jump into this episode. Let’s not waste too much time. Make sure to support the video if you can, liking, commenting, and subscribing. And go to my Patreon account if you want the full length reaction, early access, and exclusive videos for both this channel and my Gent Watchers One Piece channel. Let’s jump into this city the animation episode 11. What do you do first thing in the morning? Huh? You want me to tell you more about my morning routine? Yeah, I’m making you a video to post online. Oh, I got into that idea. I mean, who would want to watch it? You’re asking the wrong person to do this. You’ll have fans, Nikka. It’ll go viral for sure. Why would it go viral? Up until now, I’ve lived my home regular person. Thank you very much. Nice. That’s it. That face. That derpy face. [Music] This is all an act. Well, I can’t say I’m fully on board, but if the people want this, who am I to say no? She’s really doing the Cindere character type. Rolling there. Yep. It’s all an act. Good. Morning routine. She’s just like putting together this like candid video. She’s so cheeky. Nico has never given into nasty peer pressure before and never will. It’s so funny seeing the how it’s set up on a tripod. Is not No, there’s no way it’s going viral. You’re so dumb. I can even make eating seaweed look. This is crazy. Stop it. Silly. Crazy. What do you mean? A milk boy of seaweed. Traffic controlled. What does that mean, silly? There’s no sounds cute. I’m not going viral. That’s an insane thing to walk in on. You make me sound like a Sanrio character. What? Now I know you’re silly. I’m going to go do the dishes. If I do, stupid. I’ll let you know I’m in. It’s still going. I’m just myself eating a normal breakfast. You can’t touch him. Knock him out. Oh my god. She’s escaping on the roof. Knock them out. That’s embarrassing. Oh, that’s such a cool logo. Like logo reveal. Do you have any thoughts on her? Then as your senior, I order you to read it first. Ackonjour. Huh? A I forgot about this Waco thing. I had no store this whole time. It was pretty surprising for me, too. This is the pen you use. A She’s such a fan girl. And we have the exact same. I just realized there’s no OP today. You’re getting spoilers, girl. Has come to its bitter end. Oh, I know that line. It’s definitely from your old comic, Mr. Now he’s living the depressing life he wrote. The last line from the Mr. Bummer days of you park. I’m going to be love that line. That’s from Page Shakes’s palry as a comic. Read the room boy under the name of Damon Kamaboko. You’re so cool. The Superman. Of course. I read all of your interviews. You’re the creator. It’s your choice. Guess what? Chicken butt. You know, chicken butt. [Music] Confidence. [Applause] It’s so the shoes came off. That’s so inspired. Please, you have to get out. Ah, the little braay on her head. That is what wanted to say. Ah, that’s great. I know I have no right to be here. Onie, more than ever, I’m in desperate need of your help. This is great cuz we just get we just get more Wako voice actors if she’s the one doing the voices for these two. out. How dare you ask me to serialize with you again? Compels you to declare a bonjour in a buff like this. In my dreams, I would do this before one and all. A fitting goal for one who has his eye on world conquest. What the [ __ ] is going on? Idling on the fantasy. What do you need? If I may be so bold, may I bonjour? My bonjour. Say it together. Deep breath. Say it. Oh, no doubt about it. Really, this is X-rated new series. What if we started one? You can have a fantastic 32page volume and all approach to Mr. Mr. Bummer the story. Mr. Bummer the story. Maybe. I’m very sorry for taking up your time today. No, he’s going to do it. You to apologize again. I like how Waco is the one leaving. You can’t leave yet. The idea you pitched. They’re not even relaying this stuff to her anymore. Only I’ll do it for you, Siri. Mr. Boomer. How’d she do that? She’s so fast she can shake her own hand. A then they’re like, “Yeah, that sounds about right.” So she just guessed at the end there and they’re like, “Yeah, that’s how it would have gone. Damn, she went Luffy mode there. This town ain’t safe enough for me to stick around anymore. I think we’ve heard this character talk before, right? This character is a little [ __ ] Stop me. What the [ __ ] Giant Salam. Rub matter of time. Here’s an acorn soaked in sewage. Get so well with all the canc. Here’s an acorn soaked in sewage. Maybe I’ll look for a new place to live. Yeah, [ __ ] off out of this town. But mind if I were to take it from here? What animals this going to be? Oh my god. I back from your wonderful. Let’s hear your stories over sewer water. What do you say? What? This city is perhaps the safest place that I’ve ever been to. Really? That makes sense. Say it might in the world. I mean, this city is the only place where people bother to I feel like it’s not safe for the weird cat fox thing. This is heaven on earth. Nice. Except there’s a wanted poster out for him. And right now, my biggest problem is that there’s an active bounty on my head. Yeah, that’s what I’m saying. It’s not as you might think. Who is this? A beaver? No. minutes. We’ve seen we’ve seen a success just nice to them. Japanese wolf. Japanese wolf right in front of my eyes. And it would be good for Nagamo if you let Nagamo catch you. She gets the money. Glad you get Okay. Okay. Calm yourselves. Nobody’s panicking. This is a since you strange story or something. This guy. What the [ __ ] What is he? What is he supposed to be? Great question. We got no freaking clue. Go. Do you know what it is? I love all the different accents. And only this thing, my is certainly unsafe. Why? Why? Why is it unsafe for him? What’s going on? They will be given less than 30 seconds to complete each of their moves. Okay, let’s begin the match. Now it’s time for game seven. Tonnie commentating here. And I’m Lori. Thank you. But I guess this is what tournaments like this. Pawn second player 84 pound cake. Poundake. Wow, that came out of nowhere. Fourth D. Certainly surprising, but they have like a metallic like like a magnetic counter. You could call it a for a rashima eighth dan here. CTV the bottom surprisingly. Look at the heart rate monitor. This commentator is very cute. First player 85. This is a great concept for a skit. This move would be categorized as confusing instead of surprising. Second player 564 giant pawn. So, first player 656 flat pawn. Flat pawn. Here we go. [Laughter] 556 giant pawn. And by pulling his pawns back, but that’s not much of a counterattack. Second 765438 fried prawn. My god, a fried prawn. It’s perfect. That was a genius move. The perfect size. I think he predicted that. You see now the piece normally would leave gaps like this. Indeed. And just look at that incredible form. Amazing stuff. To get that bendy piece prepared in advance. Terrifying. This is so stupid. I love it. I love to witness. Let’s take a quick peek over at Arashim’s heart rate. This woman’s voice as well. So impressive. 7845 layered donut. Oh my god, it was promoted. I’ve never seen any turn the poundake into a donut. It’s all falling into place now. But controlled by the cop on the surf. It’s going wild. The machine can’t keep up and takes the bishop in his hand. Oh, he twists that as well. I forfeit the match. Oh my god. Game over. After moves to decide the victor eighth Dan has now won the match. That decides prizing cup. Most of the pieces are still on the board. Eighth Dan. They’ve barely made any progress. See you next time. That was [ __ ] insane. I really liked that. Just have to add Mambo number five as the background music. And I should Mambo number five. Wild. That would be awesome. Who’s going to watch that? There’s no way they have the right to Mumbo number five, right? That’s not I’ll put Mambbo number five over it in the background. Where did you get this unshakable confidence of yours? And wait, you’re going to get the license to mambo number five. The best I can do for you is a sneeze. Then let’s film you sneezing. Now we’re cooking. Wait, no need to worry. I’ll just put Mambbo number five in the I guess I five, huh? That’s right. You’re unstoppable. There’s something else we could try, too. It’d be so funny if this ended with them getting a copyright claim here. Oh my god. Hit that like and subscribe button. Punch line. And if we’re feeling spicy, we can loop this again in another video. More content. If you put mambo number five in the background of this video, you’re catching on to this creator stuff pretty quickly. Okay. Mambo number five. You beautiful genius. Oh my god. [Laughter] This is not what I thought it was going to be. Yeah, she’s embarrassed. Oh my god. Now, I mean, there was a part of me that really wanted to hear them actually play Mama 5, but this there was no way. It would have been so funny, though. So, I liked hearing her sing it. What do we have? Take a look. It’s mostly random things from some new customers. Time to add them up. Don’t mind. They might still be very rare stuff. Me, but this must have been a joke. The guy left a dirty stuffed animal. Is it like really rare? Let’s kick off this celebration with a word from our team captainship by nailing a nailbiting hattick. That sounds like a famous from a famous moment. Congratulations on a stellar comeback from your knee injury. Thanks, man. Be like having a game winning. I’m tired, so I’ll keep you. You know, like a home run baseball or something or a famous home run. How about 50,000? Oh, sorry. I think that’s some trash. Some kid was asking for buzz cut. I like how this guy knows like the history of [ __ ] so well. So, yeah. famous famous musician pick gaucho 20,000 none of this makes any sense these like original manuscripts but I’d much rather keep my art is just a hobby a sorry again when I draw how young to be something I do for kids sweet he is [Music] Look at this animation. That’s so great. Let’s take a look. He’s going to be like 100 yen. Going to be nothing. Ah, this guy. Again. Oh no. Withered silver grass. 400,000. 400,000. This item is quite curs. This thing has a car. You have to pay him to take it. A so creative. I love it. Oh. Oh my god. Oh my god. I can’t believe it. They did it. The madman did it. [Music] Hit that like and subscribe button. That’s so funny. Oh my god. I can’t believe it. Oh my gosh, man. Just really [ __ ] good. Really great. Um I just want to really quick see did Did this episode credit the um the voice actor of the of the commentators? Do I see them anywhere here? Let me just see. Uh, not it doesn’t look like directly like it has additional voices, so they’re probably among the additional voices, but I don’t know which one which ones are playing the commentators. Um, oh, Max Middleman was in this episode. I feel like I I heard his voice somewhere, but I don’t remember where. Um, anyway. Oh, he might have been one of the like bor the bored guys saying bonjour. Like I I was trying to like there were there was some recognizable voice actors there. Anyway, um that was a that was a great [ __ ] episode. Um I there was like just like there were two things in it specifically that I thought were like really great and one was the whole Mamo number five thing. I think it’s just like it’s so specific. I think it also helps that it’s like a western reference rather than a Japanese reference. So, it’s so much like it’s some it’s something that I’m in on the joke of at least, you know, uh as opposed to a lot of uh a lot of gag anime and even a lot of City will make like Japanese references, you know, and um and so it makes it more difficult when you’re watching from overseas um to, you know, to pick up on just how funny what they’re doing is. Um, but at least this it’s like they’re choosing an oddly specific song and it’s an oddly specific song that that uh that I know and a lot of the western audience knows. I think so. Um, but it like I was it it was very funny cuz I was like, “Oh my god, they’re they’re setting like they’re saying this song so much. I wonder if they’ll actually play the song.” And then the segment ended and they didn’t do it and I went, “Okay.” So they, you know, they weren’t gonna buy the rights to the song or whatever. But then at the end of the episode, there’s like mumbo mumbo number five playing over the thing. I think it’s the I think it’s the original Mumbo number five that’s playing over it, not the like not the uh you know, the more modern one that that most people know. Um but uh but anyway, it just it’s very funny that they set up they they set that up the whole time. Um, I just I I was just like very delighted when they did end up showing it there. Um, and uh I mean the Waco and the manga story line was very good where it’s like Waco’s there at the mangaka thing and is like going back and forth and she’s having to do all the dialogue between them. And I like that towards the end she just starts doing all of it without consulting them and then looks at them and goes, “Is that about right?” And they just both nod. It’s like it’s very funny, but it’s also very cute, I think. Um, but I think the funniest part to me, I mean, that shogi match show like that was so funny to me. I I like I there’s something about it that really tickled me of like the, you know, I think, you know what makes it really really work is like that they didn’t do it over the top. that instead it’s like they’re doing ridiculous things, but you have these calm commentators like just like commentating it as if it’s the most normal thing in the world, you know, instead of like I feel like a lot of the time with I would expect City to do the joke of like the commentators being like, “They put out a car. Is that even allowed? Why is that happening?” And like just screaming the jokes, you know? But with this one, just having these two like ultra calm commentators like just be in awe of what’s going on and and it’s like all expected moves is very funny. I I really like that. And just like one of them having like a a large shogi piece and then one of them like putting a flat shogi piece on the other side is is so is so good. Um so yeah, that that bit made me laugh a lot. I I really liked that part of the episode. Um, but uh something that was surprising is this episode didn’t have any Matsuri and Etchan in it. Well, it had a bit of Etchan walked past the hairdresser or whatever and said hi, but like it didn’t have a story line with them in it. I feel like we’ve had one of them like every episode it feels like. Um, and this time we didn’t, which uh, which you know, like we don’t we don’t need one every episode, but as I have said in the previous episodes, like the way they’ve done the anime has made it feel like they’re like the the kind of the main characters of this show. Like as opposed to the manga, which you know is apparently has like Nagamo and Nikura and Wako are supposed to be like the main characters, especially Nagamo, right? And like Nagamo does give me the vibe of the main character of this show still, but in terms of like how much we’ve seen of their story. Um, it does feel more like we’ve seen a lot of Matrichan and that it’s been a major focus on those characters. So, them not being in this episode at all is is surprising to me. Um, but that’s fine cuz I’m I feel like we’re certainly going to get um some good Matsuri and Echan stuff coming up considering we’re coming towards the end of this show and they’ve they’ve really set up those um that story line is quite sweet and I I want to see how it plays out. I don’t know how like what will be a satisfying ending for me, but I’m just like cuz I’m going to be so sad when they have to leave each other. But well, we’ll see. We’ll see what ends up happening. Anyway, um that’s uh City of the Animation episode 11. There’s not much to talk about for me this episode. I just had a great time. Uh thank you for joining me.

he bonjour on my bonjour til i bonjour
also. now only ecchan is the only character with a speaking role in every episode we got no matsuri at all in this one
I have to assume Nagumo thought Niikura was doing some kinda kink roleplay ASMR or something
Havent really watched the video yet, but I want to mention this is the FIRST episode to NOT include Matsuri, who has now broken her perfect attendance record she had with Ecchan. Now the latter is the only charachter to be in every episode.
I have now seen the vid, and I can now dish out my opinions.
I quite like the surprising shogi bit, its absurdist humor at its finest.
I also absolutely adore wako interpretting the mangaka and editors exchange, its real funny. Also little known fact, the mangaka that drew the bonjour manga is actually Mio-chan from Nichijou!
The mambo number five bit is also obviously a standout, but I also adore the whole barber sequence. That guy has very quickly gained my favor
i love the part where she sings mambo no 5 so much its so funny for no reason
