In this episode of Anime Pacific, we discuss the latest happenings in Tokyo regarding the new indecency laws involving minors and some of the more disturbing aspects of the Junior-Idol phenomena. I fully expect more visitors than normal due have the term "junior idol" in our body of text. I also finally take a look at, "Tekkonkinkreet".

Second Look: Tekkonkinkreet
Tekkonkinkreet was reviewed by Alex in episode 46, which as I recall, was a jolly fine episode. Despite my
corny description of Alex's opinions on Tekkonkinkreet.
Tekkonkinkreet, we thought it would be sweet
but *sigh* alas, now we must weep,
As it put dear Alex straight to sleep
I DON'T remember writing this about Najica Blitz Tactics:
If with panties, ye take no issues
drop ye pants now!
Ye best Prepare tissues!
I should write all my reviews like this.
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.

Shootin' The Breeze
It's time for some Dane Rage! I let loose about the the newly wealthy mainlanders who invade Hong Kong during the Lunar New Year.
What's wrong with mainlanders visiting Hong Kong? This video says more than words can:
Also: Akihabara 360
Review: The Ultimate Teacher
Toyoo Ashida: Why don't you direct more?
Again, pictures are louder than words:

Again, pictures are louder than words:
Directed by one of my favourite Anime directors and Madhouse veteran: Toyoo Ashida, The Ultimate Teacher works almost solely due to Ashida's ability in directing with the proverbial straight face. At first glance some may ask why the veteran director of such classics as Hokuto No Ken and Vampire Hunter D, would be a suitable choice to direct something that is blatantly a zany comedy yet is audacious enough to demand you to take it seriously at times? Theirein lies Ashida's genius: The Anime film and television adaptations of Hokuto No Ken walked the fine line of letting you laugh and / or cry, guilt-free.
That man; The Myth; The Legend. Toyoo Ashida!
