YMMV / Tokyo Encounter

• Harsher in Hindsight:
  • In episode 26, Sugita and Nakamura were wondering if they invite Yui Ogura, they might get Kaori Ishihara, too. In June 30 2017, their unit YuiKaori has been on hiatus and the two young women are now focusing on their solo careers.
  • In episode 59, Sugita makes one of his many impressions of Unshō Ishizuka. Unshou Ishizuka died in August 13, 2018 due to esophageal cancer. The episode aired in October 6, 2018. It may be possible that Ishizuka was still alive when the episode was shot, as the series had revealed precedent cases before. Although, Sugita had done impressions of already dead Seiyuus in earlier episodes as well. Keep in mind that Sugita never makes impressions to make fun of other seiyuus; he likes and respects their performances, and he values quality in his impressions.
  • During late 2018 when no episodes were coming up, Sugita's family dog Naoji died. Naoji has been mentioned a couple of times throughout the series.
• Heartwarming Moments: In episode 74 which came out in mid-December 2020, when they play Moving Out, Sugita creates a dog character based on the aforementioned Naoji.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: Since it's a show about seiyuus play video games, some of their unmentioned roles are this.
  • Aoi Yūki mentions that her first game was Green. She doesn't mention that she voices Iris in Pokémon the Series: Black & White. Also, the Sonic Adventure 2 segment counts as one since she voices Sticks in the Japanese dub of Sonic Boom/Sonic Toon.
  • In episode 20, which was aired in August 2012 (but probably recorded three months beforehand), Nakamura said that he hadn't been in Pokémon: The Series and that one of the bigger shots had told him that he was not suitable to voice a Pokémon character. Months later, he voiced N in Pokemon The Series Black And White's Episode N arc.
    • Even better is that he was told that "his style doesn't suit to Pokémon". The character he plays is very different from other characters in the world Pokémon world.
  • In episode 31-32, Sugita had a field day of saying "Uesaka is cute" while imitating Hiroki Yasumoto's Guile. Years later, now in 2018, Uesaka voices newcomer Falke.
  • In episode 37-38, you would expect Daisuke Sakaguchi to be the funny sidekick of both, Sugita and Nakamura.
  • In episode 39-40, you have three seiyuus of three Key/Visual Arts anime protagonists.
    • Episode 57-58 does it again, but this time with all three Kyoto Animation protagonists.
  • In episode 43, as they mention Pokémon GO, you have to think about their roles in the franchise (Sugita as Takeshi in Pokémon Origins, Nakamura as N in Episode of N, and Komatsu as Manon in the Mega Evolution Specials and XY&Z). Komatsu's character also appeared around the time this episode was aired and stayed until the end of XY&Z.
  • Who would have thought Sugita and Tomatsu are the voices of Gintoki and Ginko where she dubbed as the latter in Dekobokko Arc.
  • During the box segments of episode 51-52, Sugita is wearing a Popuko T-shirt. Although the anime adaptation of Pop Team Epic was announced at April 2017 and it was supposed to be aired in October, it was delayed to January 2018. Episodes 51 and 52 were originally aired in August 2017 and had to be recorded one to three months beforehand at most. By that time, Sugita and Nakamura weren't casted as Pipimi and Popuko yet, especially if you consider that the two of them got their part thanks to a poll while the anime was already airing.
  • Episode 57 aired first in June 2nd, 2018, two days after the release of the second DLC character pair (Zamasu and Vegetto). Since the episode was recorded weeks earlier, Nakamura, Sugita and Daisuke Ono were only able to play all characters of Dragon Ball Fighter Z who were available prior to said release.
    • Interestingly, the episode was recorded around, if not at, Ono's 40th birthday in May 4th. Normally, the episode would air around that time, but it was delayed by one month. If they had recorded the episode earlier, particularly in February or earlier than the end of March, they would not be able to play with the first DLC character pair (Bardock and Broly) either.
  • After Sugita made a very spot-on Norio Wakamoto impression while playing YuYu Hakusho: Makyo Toitsusen, he later gets the role of JP of Street Fighter 6, who's touted as the successor of Wakamoto's character M. Bison/Vega.
• Ho Yay:
  • Sugita and Nakamura are already paired by the fandom outside of the show. Even Nana Mizuki pairs them in this show.
  • Ami Koshimizu and Yuko Sanpei also give this vibe.
  • Ryōtarō Okiayu mentions Hikaru Midorikawa so often, that you'd get weird ideas.
  • The prologue of episode 47 has Yuuki/Sugita scratching Taketatsu's/Nakamura's ass. With very suggestive noises from the guys.
• Memetic Mutation: The "Ore no Chu, dore?" meme came from this show. It's probably the most quotable of the bunch.
• Moment of Awesome: Episode 57 features Nakamura, Sugita and Daisuke Ono playing Dragon Ball Fighter Z, which is probably the nerdiest moment of the entire series, easily topping Nakamura, Sugita and Takahiro Sakurai playing YuYu Hakusho: Makyo Toitsusen.
