Episode 42 - Great Teacher Onizuka



This week I take a look at one of my favorite shonen comedy series Great Teacher Onizuka, more commonly referred to as GTO. I also read some of the entries from the Castle Of Cagliostro DVD contest and pick a winner, and bring you all sorts of other tasty anime goodies.

It you visited the site in the past few days you would have noticed that the new WARP T-shirts are now available. These come in white with the classy Weekly Anime Review logo in Navy Blue. This is a test run to see just how well they will sell, so if you want one be sure to do it sooner then later. Shirts are only $10 shipped inside the US, and slightly higher outside the country. What a bargain!

Don't forget that I will also be a guest at SITACon next month. SITACon is taking place in Utica, NY at SUNYIT on October 6th, 7th, and 8th. I hope to see you there!

Episode 41 - SITACon & Mamoru Oshii


The last couple podcasts I've been telling you about how I'm going to be a guest at SITACon next month. So this week I have a conversation with con chair Andrew Corbin, and he fills us in on all the goings on at SITACon. It's going to be a really great time, especially if your a fan of podcasting. If your able to make it be sure to stop by and say hello.

Also this week I feature the first part of a three part feature which takes a look at the Works of Mamoru Oshii. A big thanks go out to Kellin Winslow who was nice enough to submit this piece. This part looks at the beautiful Angel's Egg. We also play some voicemail that came in this past week. Remember if you want to be part of the podcast, hit the voice mail at 206-339-WARP.

You now have until Spet. 20th to enter the Castle Of Cagliostro DVD contest. Last week I only received one entry. That's right only one! I can't believe you guys don't want a free DVD, but to spice things up I added another DVD to the mix. So now you can win two anime DVDs. So get off your lazy ass and hit me with a e-mail. 100 words or less, if you were a master theif like Lupin The III what would you steal and why?

Episode 39 - Speed Grapher


This week I take a look at the first volume of Speed Grapher and tell you if I'll continue watching this series after the first volume. Check out the above YouTube link for the original opening of Speed Grapher featuring the song "Girls On Film" by Duran Duran. I wonder how much more Funimation would've had to shell out to license the song? There are some minor spoilers since this is an opening from after episode 13.

I also have some pretty incredible news, we have been invited as guests to SITACon! SITACon will take place in Utica, NY October 6-8th at the State University Of New York Institute Of Technology (SUNYIT for short). We will be part of the podcasting guests at he con. We'll be participating in panels and podcasting from the con. So be sure to make it if you can! More information about the con will be announced in future podcasts.

  • Speed Grapher Official US website
  • Speed Grapher Official Japanese website
  • Funimation Productions - US licensor for Speed Grapher.


Other Mentioned links:

  • SITACon - I'm going to be a guest at an anime con. This completely blows my mind.
