Episode 67 - Wings Of Honneamise



This week I review the awesome classic anime film Royal Space Force: Wings Of Honneamise. It's a fantastic film, but it's too bad that Bandai Visual is charging an arm and a leg for the DVD. I also look at some otaku news, and catch up on e-mails and voicemails. Don't forget to leave a voicemail at 206-339-9277 and get on the podcast. See you next time!

Episode 65 - Project X: Seven Eleven



This episode I finally get around to reviewing a manga. I kept promising to do it and this week I make good when I take a look at Project X Challengers: Seven Eleven. I also share my thoughts and reactions about the conclusion of the second season of Genshiken and the first episode of Macross Frontier. Did I also mention that if you listen closely you could win your very own Dragonball Z Blu-Ray movie? It doesn't get much better then this.

Music in this episode is from the game, Ginga Fukei Densetsu Sapphire. I've been spending the holidays with my Duo and I'm addicted to this soundtrack.
