Introduce Yourself!
  • Oh snap. Burn. Aaaaaaaaaw daaaaaamn.

    Also, Lord of the Rings would like a word with you.
  • To be fair it was only filmed there.
  • weta workshop would disagree
  • I would include them under the auspice of filming.
  • Disappointed. :(
  • Counter: I prefer to pretend we are known for Xena.
  • Hi.

    This podcast introduced me to the movie Wild Zero and the band Guitar Wolf.

    Thanks Dave and Joel.
  • Yo. I have migrated here from the Geeknights forums. Been listing to the show since 2006, but just signed up now.

    Clearly, I'm a little slow.

  • Clearly, I'm a little slow.



    That would explain listening to Geeknights.
  • I look like you want to look, I post like you want to post, I am smart, capable and most importantly: I am free in every way that you are not. If you know what I mean.

    Seriously though, I think I first heard Fast Karate like...five-six years ago? So, thanks guys. You've made a lot of interminable campus job shifts more bearable. (It's not that hard, just long and dull.)

    PS: My name's not Steve.




    PPS: Your Mom. I'm free to do your Mom.
  • PPS: Your Mom. I'm free to do your Mom.

    Thanks for clearing that up - I get nervous when I have to guess.

    You're welcome.

  • Ahoy hoy! I'm a simple man, I like Australian new wave films (along with most other country's new wave films), peanut butter and banana sandwiches, dogs (but not *my* dog, he's just awful), and parentheses. I have listened to Fast Karate for a good long while now, but have only recently thought to join their official community for listeners. My endeavors have proved successful, and here I am.
  • Hey guys. I have been listening for a little over a year, but I have recently been digging into your archives. I travel a lot for work, and listening to you destroy some of the crappiest anime in existence makes it much easier. So thanks!
  • Hey everybody. Been listening (from the beginning of your archive, because I am completely insane) for...2 years now, maybe? At any rate, you are men after my own heart, and I salute you. In retrospect I should have picked at less shitty username as well, but oh well.
  • Your username better than my.
  • hey everybody, i started listening a few months back and i pretty much tore through the archives in that time, so i thought i'd join the forum.
  • Greetings everyone. I'm a 19-year-old shiftless dreamer who found your podcast through The Greatest Movie Ever!, and have been plowing through your backlogs the past couple months. 3 or 4 podcasts a day makes the body strong.

    Anyway, I'm a big movie buff, though I have to say I also play way too many video games and watch way too much TV for me to have a proper social life. Netflix: both a blessing and a curse. I'm sure I'm missing a lot for the purposes of an introduction, but fuck it, you'll get to know me through my posts.
  • I'll introduce myself, I suppose.
    I'm a teenage girl who listens to a shitload of podcasts of grown men talking about anime and vidya. I attempt to run a podcast of my own (with little to no avail-- http://nyancast.podbean.com/). Anyway, I am pretty much a giant douche bag among my other traits.
    Oh, and I really like Sengoku BASARA and Kpop.
    Hopefully I don't annoy you all too much...
  • Please accept this fist of greeting.



  • Well, Digitalguardian sir, this is of such relevance to my interest I more than accept it.
    OYAKATA-SAAMMMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
  • You had the best application since I switched over to vanilla.
  • Well now you have to tell us.
  • I really like kpop too. My favourites at the moment is SNSD (Girls Generation).

    Taeyeon is NUMBER 1!!!

  • I up your SNSD one G-Dragon
  • I call your G-Dragon and raise you 2AM. Also colloquially known as BEAST MEN! (Cause they're so RIPPED!) *no homo*

  • I'll raise you one SHINee

  • It's game on! All in with Wonder Girls! Gotta give the girls a fair chance too.

    Ahn Sohee is a cutie.

  • New Evolution of the Twenty First Century, To Anyone, Twenty-One, 2NE! is great by any name (always and forever my favorite girl group):

  • WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE.
  • Well, if we're going for all time favourites, mine would be BoA. It would have to be debut BoA and not trying to break into America BoA.

    BoA and Britney 4 EVA!!!

  • Boy, I'm glad I miss this.
  • Please note: the "application" form on this forum is there to filter spambots. It is not a serious application. HOWEVER, putting "I want to post on this forum so I can reply to comments about our podcast, which is posted here" doesn't exactly engender love-love feelings inside of me.

    By the same token: if you post your podcast here and that's the ONLY thing you ever post... don't you feel bad about that? Like, at all?
  • Nope, I don't feel bad about that at all.
  • I joined because I was able to read all of the terms and service conditions.
  • That ability will soon be put to the ultimate test. Ready yourself.
  • We have "terms and service conditions"? When did this happen?
  • Don't worry it's not for us, we got grandfathered in.
  • Hello everyone. Been subscribing to the podcast since 2006 and finally decided to join the forums.

    Mainly I am hoping that the forum can act as a methadone for the actual podcast experience. I am currently in China teaching English and the podcast's rss is being blocked by the "Great Firewall". So the real question is what has Fast Karate done to anger the CPC?

    Besides that I enjoy real robots, Civilization (4 and 5) and Buffalo area sports teams.
  • That's weird. I just happened to stumble across that website that tells you if you're blocked in China the other day, and as far as I could tell, our site isn't. Maybe it's libsyn that's blocked in China?
  • Wow, China doesn't like Fast Karate? It was Wicked City wasn't it? I bet it was.

    I can access the website and the forums just fine without any finagling.

    To tell the truth I am actually still listening to the podcast. I just have to log into a VPN account I created before coming here and then your feed both on the site and through Itunes works just fine a.k.a. no cryptic error messages.

    It could be libsyn since a couple other podcasts I listen to are also blocked for no discernible reason.

    I don't know the set up for these shows but Great Movie Ever, AWO, Slate, and anything NPR work just fine without a VPN but I also need to "burrow" to download the Rooster Teeth podcast and anything from Librivox.

    The firewall overall is really silly and piecemeal. I couldn't sign an online petition my Father sent me to keep the Buffalo Bills in WNY because it was political action.

    I would wear your block as a badge of honor unless you had any plans to visit China soon.

    This line has made my day.
  • Been doing a lot of driving this summer and started listening to the podcast rather than music. Needless to say, love it and ended up deciding to post here. Hola everybody ^^
