A podcast with a foundation in Anime and Pacific related material, with a good dose of pop culture.
The dynamic of the show lies with Dane’s encyclopaedic fan-boy attitude, and Alex’s average joe anime-ignorance. The banter back and forth with Dane's ballistic, quick thinking quips and Alex's irreverent laid back Norm Macdonald-like snark make for an entertaining counter balance.
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.
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.

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