Need we introduce this podcast? We play the promo almost every episode. Suffice to say, I enjoy this delightful podcast immensely. Kent had the wisdom to not put the word, "Anime" in the title of his podcast, thus he can excuse himself for not always keeping on topic, anime-wise, unlike us!

Review: Dororo
Grab it at Asian DVD Club
Osama Tezuka's classic, set in the Sengoku period of Japan, was filmed in a quasi-historical setting and filmed in New Zealand. Which beckons the question; Why? It would have been actually easier to keep it closer to the source material.
Did I like it? Yes. At it's best, it's an entertaining film. At it's worst, it's slightly clumsy and ineffective.
The direction, special effect, music and action range from fantatic to inept and ineffective at the worst of times.
Regardless, it was a huge hit in Japan and two more films are on the way.
It's a wrap!
How could we not discuss the recent news regarding Space Adventure Cobra!
Until next week, farewell.
