AGP#040 – Goin' to Anime Club

David and Evan make their long-awaited return to talk about Magic
Knight Rayearth, Fruits Basket, Panty & Stocking with
Garterbelt, Darker Than Black, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Summer 2012
anime, the Neo Geo Pocket Color, and … Animorphs? This show was
recorded LIVE in Evan’s apartment, which means it has
approximately 50% better jokes and 70% fewer awkward pauses than
a typical episode of the Ani-Gamers Podcast (based on real
science). We tried a slightly different, slightly looser format
than usual for this episode. Drop us a line at our email address
(linked below) if you like it!

(Runtime: 47 minutes)



[0:00:00] Syncing with a clap is pretty
meaningless when you’re in the same room.


[0:00:15] Intro: “Kill Me” by Lame
Drivers


[0:00:33] Welcome! Our hosts are
Ani-Gamers bloggers Evan Minto and David Estrella!


[0:01:27] We partnered with Crunchyroll
News to cross-post our content. Cool stuff.


[0:03:52] “What’cha Been Doing?” Evan starts
with his self-education in shojo manga via Magic Knight
Rayearth and Fruits Basket. Also Evan keeps talking about how
much he loves Mars.


[0:13:55] David hasn’t been watching
anime from the Summer 2012 season. What this really means is
he’s been “barely” watching anime. Evan is the true master
of actually not watching anything. Series include
Joshiraku and Hyouka. David also hates on Kids on the
Slope.


[0:20:14] Evan’s watching Panty and Stocking
with Garterbelt.


[0:28:06] Evan and David are both
watching Darker Than Black (David’s already seen it).


[0:31:33] Evan is playing Batman: Arkham
Asylum, which is pretty OK.


[0:33:37] Superhero Comics? Huh? Evan
read Avengers: Disassembled in an attempt to introduce himself
to Avengers comics. It was… kinda lame and confusing. David
read a Hawkeye comic that was extremely purple and also pretty
good. Both bought from Aquilonia Comics.


[0:36:58] News: The Rose of Versailles
anime got licensed!


[0:38:42] News: The Wii U has a release
date and a bunch of super-weak launch games. Get your Nintendo
goggles on!


[0:42:01] David bought a Neo Geo Pocket
Color from Pastime Legends, which is pretty rad.


[0:44:45] News: Genericon dates are out!
March 1-3 in Troy, NY!
