After watching the opening song, I expected to hate the show. However, it comes across as being like Azumanga Daioh. High School girls just talking about random stuff. Kinda funny. <BR/><BR/>Thanks again for playing my promo. You guys rock!<BR/><BR/>* I've tried this on previous seasons. I ended up airing the Fall Preview episode at the end of Winter. I'm aiming to get the Spring preview out by next Spring ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3169992858212845600.post-59379416761218917482007-04-19T09:09:00.000+08:002007-04-19T09:09:00.000+08:00Wow!

It wouldn't matter if the script that they were translating from was written in broken Catalan, I'd still check it out! <BR/><BR/>I suppose Skull Man and To Terra would eventually be subbed by bootleggers, but with their "quality output" we'd probably be better off downloading a Brazilian fansub of it or something.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again, David!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3169992858212845600.post-53934839370694408882007-04-19T05:14:00.000+08:002007-04-19T05:14:00.000+08:00Well heres something that might brighten your day ...Well heres something that might brighten your day just a little bit. It seems there's a fansub group that has chosen to pick up Kiss Dum -Engage Planet- Here's a link to their site:<BR/><BR/>http://www.mendoi-fansubs.com/home/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1<BR/><BR/>I haven't downloaded many fansubs from them due to the fact that they seem to mostly sub romance/harem/moe shows, but i do have a few from them and i can attest that they put out quality work. I'm just worried that it will probably get the same treatment that most unpopular shows will get. Which is that they'll start off working on it on a daily basis and then start slowing down on their releases. I have a lot of fansubs backlogged at the moment because of that. <BR/><BR/>No word on Skull Man or To Terra which isn't all that surprising. Both are based off 70's manga which is like a red flag for the majority of the fan base. Very disappointing since I was looking forward to watching both. Oh well, I'll either have to wait and hope they get licensed or learn Japanese. I'm pretty sure we all know what will come first :pAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3169992858212845600.post-60579372019113654712007-04-16T11:31:00.000+08:002007-04-16T11:31:00.000+08:00http://www.genie.x0.com/alabout/list.phtmlThis is ...http://www.genie.x0.com/alabout/list.phtml<BR/><BR/>This is the link, (at least Alex has assured me it is)<BR/>Brokenenglish, thanks! We appreciate your praise a lot :)<BR/><BR/>I think you hit the nail on the head with that comment about "non typical anime fans". Case in point; To Terra has been completely untouched by fansubbers.<BR/><BR/>As mentioned, judging by the first episode of Xenoglossia, it seems that a fair amount of money went into the show, the producers obviously think that this mish-mash is an ingredient for success.<BR/>I'm pretty sure this anime will be forgotten a few months later.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3169992858212845600.post-42573082508482876872007-04-16T06:27:00.000+08:002007-04-16T06:27:00.000+08:00About Xenoglossia, I think the show is targeted at...About Xenoglossia, I think the show is targeted at the classical Japanese anime fan. 15 to 35 year old virgin males, that get all hot and titillated by merely looking at cutesy high school girls in pseudo-erotic poses. Where the mecha aren't even used as a plot device, but only there to make the voice actresses yell squeaky moe phrases.<BR/><BR/>I think there is an audience within Japan who don't fit the typical anime fan stereotype. Why else are good shows like Ghost in the Shell or To Terra still produced. The problem is we aren't the majority, so cutesy shows like Xenoglossia rule the airwaves.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I've been listening for a couple of weeks and I really enjoy your podcast. Keep up the great show.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3169992858212845600.post-85646422786233314132007-04-16T01:39:00.000+08:002007-04-16T01:39:00.000+08:00Give me that link to le porn!Please...Give me that link to le porn!<BR/><BR/>Please...Root Beer Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10275410040923183128noreply@blogger.com
