Picks of the Week (DVD/Blu-ray)


A First Look at Neon Alley

One of the many announcements that we heard at Anime Expo (although they actually announced it a few days earlier) outed Neon Alley, a new 24-hour anime video service from Viz Media. At the time all we knew of the service was that it would be debuting on a “major game console,” and will show […]


Rejoice, PlayStation3 owners: The Crunchyroll app for PS3 is here!

Crunchyroll is, in my not so humble opinion, one of the best things to happen to the anime community (and the anime fan). Gone are the days when you had to agonize over whether or not you felt like buying the (highly priced) first volume of an anime DVD series, only to find that, ehh, […]


The PMX 2011 Meta-Post of Doom!

You’re probably wondering “gee, where the hell has the Otaku no Podcast crew been?! Surely they must be back from PMX by now!” Yes, in fact we have been back for a few days; however one of us is more or less incommunicado while she’s helping to housesit for a relative…. and I have contracted […]


Cool Find: ProPlayer Video Player for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad (Updated)

Update 12/26/2012: Due to Dolby’s new aggressive policy of going after app developers who use their AC3 and TrueHD audio codecs, ProPlayer has been removed from the App Store and is no longer available for sale. However I have found an even better app for video playback on iOS devices! See my review of HD […]


New Audio-only and Video-only Podcast Feeds are now available

When I started putting out video podcasts a few years ago, I was worried that this decision might meet with some controversy. After all, video files are large and consume lots of bandwidth, which some people just can’t or won’t want to download. (Especially these days, when many internet service providers are imposing data caps.) […]


Cool Find: Meridian Media Player for Android

Those of us with large digital anime collections, either ripped from DVDs that we own or acquired from, ahem, other sources (we’re not here to judge, let your own moral compass be your guide), are faced with a problem when we want to consume this content while out and about — or even just kicking […]


Announcing the Otaku no Podcast YouTube Channel

As you may know, we’ve been posting our videos up on Vimeo for a while now. This has been working pretty well, and I really don’t have much to complain about the service (other than having to pay $60/year for the increased upload capacity we need :-P). But, as the old blogger’s adage goes, […]


Cool Find: Watch the classic 80s anime “Bubblegum Crisis” for free on Hulu

I’ve been busy working up the next show, where I’ll FINALLY be completing my “Anime on the Cheap” segment I started over 9000 years ago (not really, but close enough), and so I’ve been exploring all the options available for downloading and streaming anime on the Internet. But I came across something that I […]


Cool Find: Chad Vader

A long time ago, in a grocery store far, far away…

Sure, life in the Empire looks pretty glamorous. You get a shiny powerful spaceship capable of destroying entire planets with a single blast. You get to rule over legions of subjects that cower at your might. You get cool powers that you can […]


Presenting the all-new AnimeFinder™!

Looking for some new anime to buy and watch? Do you need to find that “one more disk” to complete that box set you’ve been working on collecting for the last 5 years? (gotta catch ’em all…) Are you bummed that you didn’t make it back to the dealers room on the last day […]
