And by that I mean splitting episodes into two and suffixing each part with a letter, as they are wont to do.  Although technically speaking, I recorded both halves at separate times so I probably could have gotten away with calling this a new episode, that is, if it weren't for those meddling kids ....

News
Funimation streaming anime again.  But not One Piece yet, so the news story in my last episode is still relevant. 

New Hajime no Ippo anime on the way.  Heck yeah!

Tatsunoko vs Capcom - One Character To Be Dropped Due to Licensing.  But it's not Gold Lightan, so we're good for now, Internet

This is the guy that's being dropped:


Admit it, knowing you can't play as him makes you want to all the more.

SPACE WEDDING - Well, Zero-G, which is just as weightless. 

Spring Anime Preview Part 2

Basquash
Cars that play basketball.  Crazy, I say!  Crazy!


If you want to torture your ears, check out Pun-Colle.  Punk songs by Japanese voice actresses.  It's as scary as it sounds.

Also be sure to check out their take on Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit.  For a better cover of the song, check out the Ukelele Orchestra of Great Britain. 

Restaurant Paradiso 
If this show is correct, then due to my graying hair and glasses, I should be irresistable to a significant segment of the female population (in Italy, anyway).  So yeah, feel free to throw yourselves at me ladies.

Cross Game
This show gets a little sad, but remember, there's no crying in baseball! 




Valkyria Chronicles
Based on the Game (and probably manga) of the same name.  Like I've said before, it's next on my queue.


This is what the game looks like:

Review - Mirror's Edge

Warning: Playing this game will not make you good at parkour.  You'd also need the same shoes that Faith wears in the game.  Possibly white pants too, but not after Labour Day.  

Promotional consideration given to:
The Ninja Consultants Podcast (Hey, like from the tv.  Of course, the show jumped the shark when the hosts got married)
Anime Genesis (the anime podcast equivalent of FIRST!)
Anime World Order (following their nomeclature will guarantee that I never reach episode 100 -- as if that was a concern before.  Now if I could also copy their consistently high level of quality, I'd be set).

Like Saturday Morning Cartoons, I finally have enough episodes to be syndicated. And all it took me was three years. If only I had action figures to sell. That would be glorious.

Local News

Look forward to a "very special" episode of UAP where guest Jake the Root Beer King  will say no to drugs and I'll learn what is ok and what is not okay to put in my mouth. Dane, if you're reading this, whatever you are thinking of, that is NOT okay to put in your mouth.

This special episode will be powered with the power of the Three Wolf Moon shirt.

If the reviews aren't enough to convince you, this educational video should:

News

Episode of One Piece illegally copied from Funimation's servers before it was set to stream for free legally.  - No one better be streaming this podcast for free, I'll tell you what. 

Director of Basquash canned - I'm not prepared to rule out the possibility of a chaos dunk here. 

New iPhone - iPhone 3GS - That's pretty good, but I'm waiting for the eventual iPhone 3GS-US.  Just think of the savings. 

New Futurama! Woot! - There will be 26 new episodes, but to be fair, 25 of those will be pure Hypnotoad.  You need to watch all of that to fully appreciate it.

Surge in Valkryia Chronicles sales - Seriously, go buy this game.

Neat thingys of the episode
