88: Chu-Bra and Scrotum

I can't wait to see the hits we're going to get with a title like that!

Download Episode 88, here.



Shootin' The Breeze


Alex wishes to inform you of American Apparel's Best Bottom Contest. Alex searched in vain, but no Tom Selleck.

What we're watching!

I'm watching the brand relatively new Anime, Souten No Ken.

Alex is watching Chu-Bra, which is starting to creep him out.

Katanagatari

A long OVA? That is so 1990's!



Could be good!

Review: The Girl Who Leapt Through Time

Note: I said it was profitable, which it wasn't, initially. However, subsequent DVD and Blu-Ray sales, beg to differ, I am told.

Eden of the East

Alex gives this Josei title, a mighty thumb up!

It's a wrap!

Sorry for the brief shownotes. Yet another victim of the scourge of time constraints.

87: Drive-by-Tomahawk

This episode, we review the Gantz Manga, the first episodes of some Winter season 2010 anime, Sherlock Holmes and...Toradora!?

Download Episode 87, here.

Yes, another episode, released for the sole purpose of being one move ahead of our First Nation friend: Kent from UpAPaddle.



Toradora!



Alex is right, that character is disturbingly loli.

We also get a delightful mail from an old listener. We achieve a new Anime Pacific record by staying on topic for TEN WHOLE MINUTES throughout the mail segment's forty minute runtime.

WATCH: The Legend of Koizumi



Promos played:

Up A Paddle
Anime 82
Fightbait Anime Podcast

86: Alex the Impailer

Not only do we greet the new year by looking at what the Winter 09/10 anime season has to offer us, we also review Gantz and talk about Avatar.

Shootin' The Breeze

Fansubbing once meant bringing the shows, we otherwise could not see. Now, it's a popularity content involving mainstream shows. Why are one hundred groups subbing Naruto, yet no one is subbing Souten Kouro?



Souten Kouro, in half of its 24 episode length, has valiantly stormed its way into my top ten anime TV series, ever.

Winter 09/10 Anime Season Preview

Thanks to Chartfag, for providing this jolly good chart.



Our picks:

Qwaser of Stigmata:
An anime in which our heroes get power from breast milk!? Too crazy to miss.

Dance in the Vampire Bund: Whilst it seems pedo friendly, the premise seems promising.

Chu Bra: My Daney sense is tingling. Daney sense as in penis.

Nodame Cantabile Finale

We haven't seen the other seasons, but its apparently a very solid show.

SPACE ADVENTURE "Freakin'" COBRA!

How did Chartfag miss this!? Easily the pick of the season, if not, 2010!

Review: Gantz



Am image says a thousand words...

Some Manga to Anime pacing issues notwithstanding, the first two-thirds of the show is rather solid. Check out the manga.

Avatar

An amazing experience, but the story is nothing new...

Promo: Anime 82.

Regan's back, baby! Check out his latest episode, its definitely one of the best anime podcasts out there.

Episode 85: Auction Hunter ANIPAC

In our epic battle to stay ahead of Up A Paddle, it's the 85th episode of Anime Pacific!

Download episode 85, here.



Pro-Empire News Articles

Alex finds some pro-empire Star Wars articles, here and here.

Japan Auctions it's porn stars

Maybe I won't get that mortgage after all!

Amongst the porn stars being auctioned for a whopping 150,000 yen an hour, Marie Ozawa. Article is here.



And finally, a delightful new website, ChinaSmack. Highly recommended by both of us!

Oh yes, third year anniversary? Whoops!

84: Patrick Duffy UNCUT - Fixed

Well, now that we know the REAL reason you people visit the website, we'll endeavor to add more Patrick Duffy material in the future.

Download episode 84, here.





Note: A Domino-Effect of poo happened in between episodes and I was sick in-between episodes and something happened literally every time it came to editing the episode. Apologies.

Review: Tokyo Magnitude 8.0

Thumbs up from Alex!

Alex also discusses how discovering Lady Gaga about 6 months late makes him feel old.
Watch these videos:






Note from Alex: This is a repost of the show due to an editing mix up. Well, okay, Dane pooched the editing job. But to be fair, he is practically on his deathbed. H1N1 or something I am sure. At any rate, the show now includes the proper spoiler warning, and I am once again in the last 5 minutes or so of the show.

Also as JakeTheRootbeerking pointed out, Dane never did finish his PS3 story. Sorry, we got side tracked. Maybe next week!

83: Kamikaze Podcast

It's an Alex-lite episode this week, but this allows me to make a review without any fear of sudden mentions of Napoleon, The Age of Reason or any links to Yale MP3 lectures.

Download episode 83, here.



Shootin' The Breeze



Alex beseeches you to try and get Stereopony on the Jimmy Fallon show. Here's a link to the forum.

Review: Kamikaze Taxi

What do you get when you cross a Peruvian immigrant, a Yakuza and a corrupt politician?

That's easy: One of the best films of all time. An absolute masterpiece and without a doubt, in my personal top ten.



Read Midnight Eye's excellent review, here.

An excellent review with director, Masato Harada, here; also courtesy of midnight eye!

Shootin' The Breeze

A mysterious thin Gaijin with glasses appears in the Japanese adult video classic, "100 innocent girls study the penis #3". Alex denies any involvement.
More on this cinematic gem, here.

We chat a bit more about the Ghost in the Shell live action film, I smell disaster.
Alex also rants about how he hates Hollywood not taking credit for their remakes. The departed comes to mind.

Look at the US Infernal Affairs DVD cover:



Now to those who have seen it; where the hell is the damn chick with the gun? She does not exist. Great job marketers. Great job. Now everyone thinks its some cheesy spy movie.

Dickheads.

Review: Bakemonogatari

Alex reviews a series centering on a high school student? Does this spell disaster? Listen and find out.

Note: Get THOR's 1080p release.It contains improved animation and art that was incomplete for the TV airing.

Until next time!
