Podcast 86: Nicofun?

Hello! It’s been a long time! Lots going on in the world right now, but we’re gonna talk fun! We’ve got a couple of reviews for you all today, as well as some news bits. The most important or at least game-changing news bit is the news of Funimation and Nico Nico joining forces and the implications thereof.

Anyway, on with the show!

HIAAAATUUUUUSSSS

Hello my lovely listeners. It is with regret and some trepidation that I announce a slight break in our programming. We want so very much to bring you more reviews, but all three of us have insanely busy schedules and are finding it hard to continue doing the podcast as a hobby.

Please keep us subscribed in RSS or iTunes, because we WILL produce more shows, just not necessarily on our two-week rotation. In fact, you may notice a distinct absence of show this week. That is pure technical error, and we apologize.

We love you and leave you for today with the Girl Nerd’s guest appearance on the Crap Fic Theater production of “Until the End of Time.” Enjoy!

Podcast 84: I’m Catman, and I’ve dropped my bunny at the croisée.

We’re a week late, but that’s ok. You still love us anyway, right??

This time, we’re a man down, but we still have 3 shows to review. Usagi Drop from this season, Catman from seasons long gone, and Croisée in a Foreign Labyrinth also from this season. Two shows about raising kids and one show about being a grown up kid (kitten?).

News links for this week: Manga censorship at Comic Con, Supernatural comes to anime, NTV censors Ghibli and others over quake controversy.

Anyway, I’m excited to bring you this episode, and hopefully by the time the next show airs, we’ll have another exciting venture to share with you all :) !

Calling all Yaoi/BL fans (get in line, the Gay Nerd is first!)

Podcast 80: Shame on you. The Spirits of the Past are watching.

Gooooooooooooooood day folks! Sorry the podcast is up a bit late. The Girl Nerd’s been wiped out by schedules at her day job (well, it seems more like the buttcrack of dawn job) so she wasn’t able to post on Tuesday. Never fear, however, for the gnomes that be have given her a new lease on life today, so she can get this out to you, her darling listeners.

This week we review Origin: Spirits of the Past (“you’ll feel so good the TREES WILL KILL YOU”), C-Control: The Money of Soul and Possibility (“I don’t understand money.”), Health and Physical Education for Thirty Year Olds (not at all for children. AT ALL).

So there you are. Please to be enjoying the show! Next time we’ll implement some changes to the show’s structure, as we seem to do just about once a year. Ha!
