Lupin III ep 2: great episode, I love this show. Although I wonder if this was just a flashback or if Lupin will not be much in this show.

Sankarea ep 2: Rea's dad sure was creepy... I don't understand why they don't take the story to the police or something. It should be pretty obvious what'll happen in the next episode.

Natsuiro Kiseki ep 2: That was pretty fun to watch. Where can I find a stone like that?

Mysterious Girlfriend X ep 2: The saliva in this show is very gross... besides that, I really liked this episode. Guess I'll have to keep watching this.

Does anybody know where I can watch the remake of Nadia Secret of Blue Water that came out this season? Is it out yet?

Supposedly, It comes out in Japan, every saturday since April 7th. I don't know if there's any fansubbers who want to sub a HD re-broadcast lol.

[Yupa]

Yes, apparently it's just the same show, so nobody is subbing it. You can find subs for the blu-rays if you want to watch it though. Just keep in mind that this show has 39 episodes.

I'll just give another 'subtle' hint: the remake of Lupin III isn't watched by another podcast host yet.

[Kron]

wait, so you mean none of them picked up Lupin?

........

seriously?

[Yupa]

They didn't mention it on the podcast (episode 126). They didn't mention Jormungand either, so it looks like they're missing out on two badass action shows.

You guys are killing me. Kron and Yupa you both are valuable members of our podcast community. I appreciate both of your contributions in different areas. At some point, you gotta realize that we live busy lives outside of the podcast.
I mean I'm watching 10 shows right now from new seasons. What else can I offer you? I added Lupin to my list, but I cannot guarantee I'll watch it. We are in a transitional period right now. I work 50 hours a week, Chiaki is graduating from grad school, Kimiko and Roukou are both graduating from college (aka we are smart lol). We are doing our best.

If either of you would like to write a blog post for one of these shows or something that is great.

I am watching the basketball anime only for now.
Love it

[Yupa]

I'm just joking Mitsugi. My last post was just me thinking that dropping Nadia would leave a gap in your schedule. Nobody could've seen beforehand what was going to be good and what not. At least you have a life, that's something I can't say. I'm just a college student with WAY TOO MUCH time on his hands. In the past two weeks I watched 30 first episodes, and that's only the first episodes counted. I'd be happy to trade 20 of them for a social life lol.

I guess that's part of being an anime fan: being overly enthousiastic about the shows you love and trying to convince other people to watch them. Isn't that what got you guys into podcasting?
I know I've been too demanding the last few weeks (also in pm), I apologize for that.

But let me ask you a question. Why do you bother to keep watching the shows you don't like? If after three episodes you still think it has no value, just give us an impression, tell us we should avoid this anime and drop it, like any other anime fan would.
I know you're watching it all for the podcast, but I think people would rather hear about the good anime. And isn't that much more fun to talk about?

Just my two eurocents.

[Mitsugi]

Yupa give yourself more credit.

We are a very forward thinking podcast and we tend to sometimes concede to the desires of the members of the forum. Chiaki and I have considered allowing you guys to vote on the initial 25 animes which we will cover and then we will select from those.

This would ensure that we cover what you want. I almost always end up watching an extra show per season as a result of your (the forum's) clamorings anwyway.

This of course is a ponderance and has in no way been decided to be implemented.


Also, your two eurocents are valuable. I hear what you are saying. We have in certain instances abandoned anime. I abandoned Kampfer awhile back. However, we don't want to get into the habit of dumping an anime just because we don't think its good. We cover 80% of the shows anyway, so by watching them all we generally touch upon the important points I feel.
