A lot of people hate your dick.

That's why I hate you and your dick. I count for a large chunk of that pie chart.

Doesn't Daryl LIKE that show, though?

Yeah he did say that in the last episode of AWO a month ago . But it is true there is not much to the show content wise, or too much as the case may be, which is why so many people dont like it. However, when i saw an episode segment where ...well you kind of have to watch it to get the full extent of it. I thought it was funny in its apathy to continuity, so i was entertained [isnt that what really matters?]. Also the random flurry of english swears and curses coming from the japanese voice actresses is funny to me as well.
It is unique and different and should be given a look at least. We dont get alot of creative outbursts from anime creators nowadays. I just hope this is not the only thing to get made...
i also kinda want somebody to make fun of it for what it is, more than just criticize it for what it doesnt do. If that makes sense at all.

[quote="Squirrel"][quote="Dave"]Can I get some of that pie.

Pumpkin, please.

I ated it. Twice. Teacher made me pumpkin pies for Thanksgiving and they was good.

None for me thanks I got me some chocolate bourbon pecan pie.

WTF IS THAT SHIT

Sekirei
http://atemonai.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/sekirei_scan.jpg

Minato Sahashi is an Ordinary College Student, even though he's failed his entrance exams twice. As he's walking down the street, he suddenly finds a Magical Girlfriend falling from the sky and crashing into him. She is Musubi, one of 108 beings known as Sekirei, about to be engaged in a Battle Royale across Tokyo, headed by the mysterious MBI organization. With a kiss, Minato "wings" Musubi and becomes her Ashikabi, or master, for the battle royale. The Sekirei Plan begins.

Trailer. I wonder if the guy who makes these Funimation trailers loses a bit of his soul with each new one he does. It's on Hulu at the moment and it does contain topless action.

Boobies for the win!

This is also relevant

@kindergraphs Shut the fuck up, I have watched season 1 and 2 and enjoyed it. It is a GREAT fucking anime, so dont fucking judge a book by its cover.

Nigger

It's good they put that last part in there, you know just in case you thought they might have not been a terrible person.

The fact that people need that info-graphic to point out what the show was referencing mildly annoys me. The Chuck to the Future segments before that lame-ass music video was fun.

I actually enjoy the show, it embodies the no-hold-barred, 'do whatever the fuck you want' attitude of 80s/90s OAVs. I also like when the Japanese try to parody western pop-culture because it's usually off in the oddest way.

Also the Transformers episode was pretty rad.

Do people need the info-graphic to figure out the show references?

I don't want to color your perception of the show going into it, so I'll give you what I had at 3 AM when a group of friends and I discovered this gem on Netflix Instant Watch.

"A plague sweeping across Germany creates a race of so-called Demoniacs, horrifying creatures that can fuse their bodies with technology -- including cars and motorcycles -- to become even deadlier. But not all hope is lost. Enter the Xenogenesis Assault Team, a human squad tasked with policing the Demoniacs and observing them closely -- without becoming infected by them. Ichiro Itano directs the visionary anime series."

I don't know what else you could possibly need, beyond AWESOME CG FRESH FROM 1998

This is, the ultimate Fast Karate anime to review:

http://www.ioffer.com/img/item/119/779/583/dobG.jpg

Wild 7, about a bunch of dudes on motorcycles taking the law in their hands. Its one part Easy Rider, one part Die Hard, one part Dirty Harry and all parts too awesome for one mans testicles to handle.

I DARE YOU, to watch this anime if you think your man enough. The ball is in your court, so what you gonna do now?

I figure what better show to review on a podcast about cartoons than a show about making said cartoons. Oh yes I'm talking about a 2 episode OVA Animation Runner Kuromi. The story of Mikiko "Kuromi" Oguro's experience as the new production manager of an anime studio full of some rather offbeat employees who need a swift kick in the pants to meet the deadline. Do this plucky young gal have what it takes to oversee production of cartoons or will her dreams all come crashing down? This is some serious business.

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/video/10358/#play-1 Here's the first episode dubbed (the sub is also available)

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/video/10360/#play-1 And here's the second

Next up the BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad the music anime about a Japanese indie band. The majority of the story follows Yukiko "Koyuki" Tanaka who takes his boring life and shoves thanks to the rock and roll he's introduced to by Ryusuke Minami, a guitarist with shady past who once lived in America. Ryusuke is out to form a new band after a few too many disagreements with his current one and Koyuki becomes their singing sensation. The band starts to get noticed and that causes Ryusuke's past to resurface and the band may not survive the fallout. It's a story about growing up, becoming a man and learning how to rock out. The dub is fantastic especially if you enjoy your excessive f-bombs but this show is all about culture clash and while the Japanese version has heaping helpings of Engrish and some obvious cultural barriers implied the dub leaves a lot of that by the wayside so the best way to watch this show the first time would probably be in Japanese.

That's the Hulu page with all 26 episodes. You can get the box set for around 20 bucks now though and this is a show worth owning.

I've lurked a bit and have read that at least Dave has seen Dai-Guard the series that combines giant robots with office politics and I seem to recall he said he thought it was pretty good but regardless I'd like to hear you guys talk about it because if nothing else it's a pretty unique show. Likewise I recall props being given to Baccano and Durarara on the podcast but I'd like a more thorough dissection of those two shows, I suppose that might run into the dangerous territory of being too good to get a good podcast from but I think they'd be worth a shot.

A couple more giant robot shows I don't think you've covered (and I could be wrong about this) are Godannar and Gun x Sword. Godannar's cast should leave you with plenty of things to talk about and so should the fights. Gun x Sword is a lot more low key but it's got a giant robot piloted by stripper poll dancing among other absolutely absurd and kind of awesome concepts. What can I say, I love me some giant robots.

Keep up the funny guys.

Dave and Joel don't review mediocrity, most people in this thread haven't seemed to notice that.

Gaiking: Legend of Daikyu Maryu is on hulu. Its a remake of a 70's robot anime without much linking it to the old show.

Zillion Burning Night

EDIT:Now with synopsis

In the peaceful aftermath of the Nozsa wars, the charismatic heroes known as "The White Knights" have changed career paths to becoming music making rockstars. J.J., Dave, Champ and Apple have formed a rock band called, "The White Nuts". Their music career would soon be interrupted by a new threat of colonial settlers. Apple is kidnapped by the sadistic ODAMA Clan - a family of ruthless killers. Located in a heavily-fortified mountain retreat, J.J. and company attempt a rescue mission with their laser weapon Zillion. But the former Knights only have a limited supply of Zillium for the Zillion guns. A mysterious stranger named Rick turns out to be an old lover of Apple.

I did enjoy this Zillion OVA, and enjoyed the Method to Madness Podcast on it like 3 months ago.

[quote="Policetruck"]I will never get those 600 minutes back.

You waited that long? I really don't understand anime fan tolerance at all.

Half an episode was my tolerance level, too.

I've been using Lucky Star to fall asleep to whenever I take an afternoon nap. I don't think it's bad, it's just that it has no substance. I just find it boring.

http://static.reelmovienews.com/images/gallery/street-fighter-the-legend-of-chun-li-poster.jpg
I recommend this solely for the fact that the Japanese ghost from Black Eyed Peas plays Vega . I'm sure it contains a lot of fodder for a good episode.

I think we are forgetting the best part about Lucky Star which is that I BUY SAUSAGE

Legend of Chun-Li is comedy gold. M. Bison steals some poor bastard's bucket of fish.

The implications were there, you just needed a douchebag to make them.

I hear that one is full of mind-rape and fail. Supposed to be a total downer. Might be perfect for D&J.

I watched the first four episodes this mourning and it's at that level of badness that I can enjoy. I love things that have  a nonsensical plot, improbable/impossible weapon usage and idiotic actions that the characters take. So far it's been hinting at some stuff, but I would not imagine that the ending would have mind rape or anything like that. I'll find out tonight.
