This week I talk about fighting in the streets, despair about punny teachers, talk about the latest kentagion, and command my podcasting brethren to entertain me.  I also talk about Coyote Ragtime Show. 

News Sayanora Zetsubo Sensei and Legend of the Overfiend licensed by Media Blasters.  Hmm.  Tentacles and school girls.  What an odd combination.  

Street Fighter IV on the iPhone.  I bet Madcatz will have a $200 joystick attachment for this game in no time. The iFightPad. 

New Super Street Fighter IV characters announced. 

 

I guess we'll need to wait for Super Duper Street Fighter IV for R. Mika to make her appearance.  BUMBA!!

Review Coyote Ragtime Show

 

It's no Cowboy Bebop, but neither is Origin: Spirits of the Past.  Wait a minute, that show sucked.  Ragtime on the other hand is a decent show, but it could have used a little more ragtime.  See the following video for more on this delightful musical genre:

Promotional Consideration given to:
Eeeper's choice: http://eeeperschoice.com - Since apparently you read these show notes Eeeper, please release the fabled lost episode of I Heart the 80s that Dane keeps mentioning on Anime Pacific and I promise to lay off the potshots and will focus on doing zingers instead.    

Anime Pacific: http://animepacific.blogspot.com - Since apparently you read these show notes Dane, I just want to point out that Canada is kicking Australia's ass at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. That's what you get for having winter during the summer time.  Also, our curlers are #1.  GO CANADA!

Musical Accompaniment
The song played was "In Space No One Can Hear You Scream" by Nuclear Bubble Wrap.  I also played a little Maple Leaf Rag (a Scott Joplin ditty) performed by Jeanne Backofen Craig  

Thanks for listening!

This week I talk about Gintama, reading for fun, and digital manipulation.  I also some other stuff, probably.  And I review No More Heros for the Wii. This episode is dedicated to the fine folks at Anime Pacific.  I have finally surpassed them, if only for a brief window, in terms of episode count.  Mwah ha ha.  My 10 day release schedule is undoubtedly superior to their biweekly schedule.*

News

Gintama to be released on DVD Or you could just check it out at Crunchyroll.  Do it now. I can wait.

Imagi Entertainment to lay off staff.  I guess Nick Cage's hair wasn't wild enough to save the Astro Boy movie.  Maybe if they release it on dvd with the rumored deleted scenes where his character runs around in a bear suit and punches out old ladies.

Nintendo is working on new hardware - This one will be 2 Wii's duct taped together.

Fun thing of the episode

Part 2

Catching up with Kent

Like I mentioned in the show, I'm currently reading The Art of Osamu Tezuka: God of Manga by Helen McCarthy.  I forgot to mention that I'm also watching The Kids in the Hall: Death Comes to Town.  I mention this now because for once I'm on the right end of "This content is not available in your country"  Suck on it, Hulu.

Review

No More Heroes

It's crass, vulgar, and morally questionable. I loved it. Here's the trailer:

Looks prodigious, doesn't it?  But instead of fighting you'll probably end up spending more time doing the following:

Well, and this too:

Is it just me, or does the guy in the lawn mowing video sound a little young to be playing this game (rated M for Marvelous)

The Time of the Assassins by The Jars

Thanks for listening! * Yeah, I'm working on this.  Issues with editing the podcast (and all the popping and locking) have been keeping me from releasing this show in a more timely manner. 

News The iPad is unleased upon the masses.  And lo, there was much rejoicing in the lands. 

Here's Conan's Farewell speech

And here's a camel punch

 
Now that Conan's looking for a new job, is it time to revive the almost classic Lookwell!  Yes, yes it is.
