fightbait podcasts • nonsense first, anime maybe

You damn right I read Kodomo no Jikan! It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. But it wasn't as good as I've heard it was either.

My favorite story this week was the Borderlands 2 review from Wall Street Journal. Follow along on the Newsfeed!

This episode is also known as Shin Megami Tensei vs. Neo Megami Tensei. This OVA is ridiculous.

I found this while looking for Kodomo no Jikan (I'm going to look at that next week. I promise. It's already recorded). I had heard of this manga a few years ago when they announced the movie. I enjoyed what I read. I just wish I was able to finish it.

The most talked about thing this week was probably how much Bakemonogatari is going to cost. Did we care? Not really. Follow along over here!

This is a clip from a local radio show in Minnesota. I tuned in on September 1, 2012, and to my surprise they were talking about this bizarre model from Japan. The name of the radio show is Weekend Dirt. It's on every Saturday on MyTalk 107.1.

Intro | 0:00-0:42 Our voicemail is broken! Newsroom | 0:43-1:09:45 Follow along by going here! Release Dates | 1:09:46:02-1:10:21 Did you buy anything this week? Ninja Resurrection | 1:10:22-1:30:26 This is probably the craziest thing ever made! Outro | 1:30:27-1:32:06 See you next time!

Intro | 0:00-0:33 Yes, this podcast was delayed because I didn't have enough of a voice to record a 30-second intro. Sue me. Newsroom | 0:34-39:01 Turns out the countdown Square Enix was doing was for an iPad port of The World Ends With You. Release Dates | 39:02-39:58 Did you buy anything this week? What Are We Watching? | 39:59-56:00 We watched a bunch of stuff. Listen to us talk about it.

This week I take a look at Hideo Azuma's Disappearance Diary.

Intro | 0:00-0:51 I took forever to put this together because my job hates me and decided that I should work 50 hours a week. Voicemail/What Are You Watching? | 1:05-6:26 PoopyBarfy asked us a question about Macross Plus; we pretend to know the answer. The News Room | 6:27-54:20 MadnessMark joins us this week as we talk about everything from Sex World to Lupin III. Release Dates | 54:21-55:03 Did you buy anything this week? NTR Radio Promo | 55:04-56:07 It's the best podcast on the internet! Rethinking My Opinion on Lolicon | 56:08-1:23:08 I did some research on lolicon, and changed my mind about it's followers. Madox-01 Review | 1:23:09-1:36:46 It's not amazing, but it's worth seeing at least once if you find it for cheap. Outro | 1:36:47-1:40:31 Be sure to stay tuned after the outro for the Fast Karate version of the Madox song.

This time on Manga Monday I look at the five few volumes of Grappler Baki. I've never read the very beginning of this franchise, so it was cool seeing where everything started.

This is the first time I've talked about guro in a long time. I review Drafting a Water Godess by Shintaro Kago. I also talk briefly about Supergirl Begins.

It's another all news episode of The Anime Show. Since I was on "vacation" I didn't have anytime to watch anything. That's probably for the best, however. Even without any of the other segments this is nearly two hours long. Maybe I need to start being a little more picky when choosing news items. I tried something news this time with the audio. Normally the podcast is a 96kbps file. This one is 64kbps. I figured since it's only talking that the lowered bit-rate wouldn't make too much of a difference. In layman's terms, that means faster download time and more room on your mp3 player for other stuff.

It's a Double Dose of Tetsuya Saruwatari as I review Damned and Dokuro!
