Episode #0009 – Anime on the Cheap, Part 1

(Note: yes, I announced the date of this episode as Monday, September 21. I really did intend to release it on that day, honest! Oh well, better late than never, I suppose!)

Pretty much everybody agrees that we are indeed going through some troubling times, economy wise. Most everyone is feeling the pinch of the […]

FUNimation Announces New “Anime at the Palace” event, where you can watch anime on the big screen!

OK, I know I”ve been promising a new episode for… weeks now. Let’s just say that Fate has been conspiring against me, assaulting me with everything from a massive heatwave to massive computer failure (which caused me to lose an episode I had already recorded more than half of). Arrgh. Anyway I’m re-recording now (and […]


Quick, set your DVRs: Spike TV to show exclusive Halo Legends preview tomorrow night!

Psst – are you a fan of the wildly popular Halo video game franchise? Do you get Spike TV on your cable or satellite lineup? Then you might want to set your DVR to record Spike TV’s “GTTV Presents Halo 3: ODST Countdown to Launch” special. Which, at least according to my TV schedule, starts […]


Want to find good places to eat in Tokyo? There’s an app for that!

One of the latest buzzwords in mobile technology these days is augmented reality. It’s the combination of a live (real-time) view of the world that is overlaid – or augmented – with computer-generated imagery that somehow builds on what you are seeing and enhances it. Probably the most well-known example of this is a heads-up […]


The TJX crew talk about Onsen Etiquette (among other things)

The fine folks over at TJX – The Japan Xperience bring us yet another episode of their fine show. This time around, they talk a very important subject — well, important if you ever want to visit one of Japan’s famous hot springs – Onsen Etiquette. (I wish I had this information back when I […]

ADV is dead, long live ADV!

Another one bites the dust… or does it???

At first blush, the recent announcement that ADV Films is shutting its doors, sounds dire indeed. All across the Intarwebs there has been the expected wailing and gnashing of teeth among anime fans, and comparisons to other grisly anime company implosions such as Geneon and Central […]


Eureka Seven feature film to be screened on September 24

Still working on the next episode. We’ve had a bit of a heat wave lately, which has made recording impossible (unless you happen to like the sound of a loud air conditioner droning on in the background while I’m talking…) Fortunately it’s cooled down this weekend, plus we have a holiday on Monday (so no […]


OMG! Real Life Ritsuko Tainaka!

Sorry for the lack of updates, folks. Work has been crazy busy this past month… which, of course, gets in the way of non-work activities such as anime and podcasting. But since the money that it generates goes towards paying for said anime and podcasting gear, well, it’s a necessary evil that must be endured, […]
