Anime Pacific Episode 23: Blabbity Blah!

Download Episode 23 Here.


Talk about stuttering!

Update: Added a link to Alex's precious Polka Dot Door

Shootin' The Breeze

We talk about the future plans of our show. We decided that quality is more important than quantity. Thus, the epic 140 minute show might be a thing of the past. It's exhausting for me to edit and make show notes of, so I think things would be all-around better if we made things sharper at about 70 minutes an episode. What do you think?

Here is a rather amusing clip from an old Australian kids show, "Agro's Cartoon Connection".



Me and Alex also talk about Japanese baseball and it's passionate fans.





We then discuss Anime Genesis and DuoMatrix's entry into the public radio quest. Check it out and help the fellow out!

Wait a minute Mr Postman!

David Lee discusses the wonderful Skullman with us as well as sending us a torrent link to the subbed, live action episode 0. The torrent link can be found in the comments section of our previous episode. Check it out!

I also mention FourZeroFour. The wonderful website for fansub direct download links! Many of which we talk about every week!

We also get a fantastic e-mail from a listener called "Jim" who made our week with his kind comments. He brought up an interesting point about dubs which we mentioned earlier.

Our conversation kind of verged off into politics and Alex was lamenting on how he could not think of any good contemperary political anime or manga.

I mentioned "Eagle: The making of an Asian American President". If anyone has read this, what is your opinion of it?




Eagle's Wikipedia Page


And two great articles about this manga, here and here.

News

Not much news this week, folks. We mostly talk about the remastering of Macross 7 and Macross Plus in Hi-Def as well as a remastering for DVD. Alex thinks that High-Def anime is pointless as high definition anime won't add much to the quality when compared to Standard-def.

Review: Agent Aika Virgin Mission



I think Alex liked it more than me. We will be watching future installments, so it wasn't that bad overall. I just felt that if a panty fetish themed show is lacking in story, then it shouldn't be lacking in panty shots or vice-versa. However, I think both aspects were just lacking enough to leave me sadly, underwhelmed.

You can download it directly from:

FourZeroFour.

It's a wrap!

We talk about a few other "pervy" Anime comedies, such as the always hilarious Goldenboy. We'll have to review that one!

Until next week my dears!
