Jeremiah - Episode 12

So another long hiatus kept us away from recording more episodes, we are back with Episode 12 of the CTANCast, entitled Jeremiah! This is our holiday edition, so sit back and enjoy!

Here's what's on the plate this time:


Shoujo Kakumei Utena! + RING!


More crime on the streets!


Jeremiah!

So on this episode of Jeremiah, Tom and I came back with a bang. I reviewed a Revolution! Well, actually, just Revolutionary Girl Utena. Tom took a look at Saints Row 3, the game he's been hyping up for months! Did it live up to his standards?! Find out on our show. Some news and holiday salutations make the episode a whole. So take a listen and enjoy! Could be the last episode of this year!

Jules - Episode 11

Yeah, so we had this episode recorded like 5 days ago and edited like 4 days ago, but due to someone's laziness (mainly mine), it's not up until today. Sorry! Also to make note, during recording, you'll hear some problems with my mic during my review and so I must apologize for that, there was nothing we could really do to fix it. Other than that, I'm not sorry for anything! Enjoy the cast.

Here's what's on the plate this time:


Some wicked news!


Zombies! AHHHHH!


Take a picture, it lasts longer!

So on this episode of Jules, we talked quite a bit of news especially those concerning the merger of FUNimation and Niconico and even bigger, the VIZ Manga news of starting up a new digital magazine, Shonen Jump Alpha. We also did our little segment on Shit Otaku Say, which comes to us indirectly from Colony Drop, so please go check them out if you like anime and stuff.

Tom reviewed a little PSN game called Dead Nation, while I discussed the pretty popular (even in Japan) anime, Nodame Cantabile. Also mentioned on the podcast was the fact that pre-orders for Redline are now available at Rightstuf.com so don't delay and get your now!

Emilio - Episode 10

Well, after an incredibly long break from our podcasting routine, Tom and I are back with a brand new episode of the CTANCast. Plenty of laughs to be had so I hope you all enjoy and hopefully we'll get back to a more regular recording schedule.

Here's what's on the plate this time:


That's some whacked out otaku shit!


It's not weird! At least not yet!


Those rascally plumbers from NY are here to unclog your toilet!

On this episode of Emilio, we have some catching up to do. We discussed a good bit of what we've done in our "spare" time as well as me managing to make a mistake of calling Naruto's seiyuu a he! See if YOU can catch it! I introduced a brand new segment on our show, which will probably not be on every episode, but every now and again, called Shit Otaku Say. It's brought to you fully by a website of the same name, which is an offshoot of the really good website, Colony Drop. CD has some fantastic editorial pieces written by grizzled Otaku veterans so give them a look see.

We then go on to discuss some anime and video games. I took a look at a Summer 2011 11 episode noitaminA block anime, Usagi Drop, while Tom delved deep into the toilets of Bowser with his look at Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story.

We wrapped up the show with some discussion of the release of Mardock Scramble and delay of the Redline release. I also took a few moments to talk about a little piece posted on Anime News Network called "The Running Man", which I encourage all to go check out. So a lot happening on this episode of Emilio, give it a listen!

Jimmy - Episode 9

As I said last week, Stewart had it coming and got killed by his greed for string cheese. But that just means that there's now room for our new show, Jimmy.

Here's what's on the plate this time:


There's no way our podcast could be this cute!


About time!


I got nothing...

On this episode of Jimmy, Tom and I discussed a couple of news topics, one of which being that Hunter x Hunter was rumored to be getting a new anime season and earlier today, that news was actually confirmed at Anime News Network. For those of you that have been waiting for years for a new season, rejoice! It's coming this fall apparently. In other news, at San Diego Comic Con, which is coming to and end today, FUNimation announced the Blu Ray release of Dragonball Z proper; something we will begrudgingly discuss. Also on the cast, Tom finally finished the epic game, LA Noire and gives us a very comprehensive review of said game. I on the other hand, look at an often overlooked little piece of anime from 2009, titled RideBack. Now that that's done, time to go watch Captain America! Enjoy the podcast!

Stewart - Episode 8

Alright, Gloria's out, and Stewart's in, but for how long will he last? After a three week hiatus, the rude dudes with attitude from CTANCast are back with a bang.

This following show is about some of the things that delayed us:


This is Madness!


Tabletop Booty and Cast


Da Hood

Tom and I look at the weekend that was July 8th through the 10th, at ConnectiCon 2011. I do a small review of a little known work to most fans, Trava: Fist Planet, a short OVA and predecessor to Redline the new anime film from Madhouse. And Tom nicely wraps things up with his review of Saints Row 2... That's right, he's lied to us again, no LA Noire yet! Send him e-mails to complain! Anyway, enjoy the show, which is now 30% longer... at least for this week.
