No podcast this week... stupid cold!



As you could tell from the intro from last week's podcast, I had a cold. Well... I still have this stupid cold, and it's driving me crazy. I thought it was seasonal allergies but then I got Diana sick as well. I almost got it beat but my nose is still stuffed up. As I discovered when I sat down to record this week's show, it makes me sound like crap. So unfortunately there won't be a podcast this week. Sorry guys.

Episode 28 - Anime Punch 2006 Report



It's time again for another convention report. On March 31st - April 2nd, 2006 we attended the Anime Punch convention in Columbus, Ohio. We had a great time, and we're going to tell you all about it.


Assorted Anime Punch links:

  • Anime Punch 2006 photos - pictures we took at the con.


  • Anime Punch website
  • Lawrence Eng's website - he may very well be the Otaking. Don't miss his panel if he's a guest at a con your attending.
  • Crispin Freeman - this guy came off like a real cock-knocker at Mr. Eng's panel.
  • Joshua Seth - he'll make you bark like a dog, or at least rap in Japanese.
  • Steve Conte - he did a concert, but we didn't go since we saw him a couple years ago at Ohayocon. Instead we went for Irish Stew and Guiness for dinner. His anime music is cool, but I couldn't get into his original work.
  • The Spoony Bards - As always these guys rocked. Definetely check them out if you get a chance. The only bad thing is that they had to play next to the white noise generating fountain in the Holiday Inn's lobby.
  • OSU's Library Manga Collection - I wish the college I went to had one of these. I'd would've been in the library every day.


  • If you have any comments, feedback, suggestions, or submissions please send me an email at weeklyanimereview@gmail.com. Or you can always hit me up on the voicemail line at 206-339-9277. Thanks and be sure to tune in again next week!
