AGP#014 – Offensive to Pretty Much Everyone

Hosts: Evan “Vampt Vo” Minto, Karl “Uncle Yo”
Custer
Topics: Natsu no Arashi (2009), Shikabane Hime:
Kuro (2009), Ristorante Paradiso (2009), Shangri-La (2009)


The formidable Uncle Yo makes his triumphant return to the
podcast to help with our Spring 2009 Anime Season preview (and to
insult Russians, theatre-goers, pink-haired people, and pretty
much everybody else). We’ve got four different anime up for
discussion, as well as our usual “What’cha Been Doing?” and “Link
of the Day” segments.


Oh yeah, Evan mentions in this episode that we have a contest
going on. If you were unclear on how the rules work, go ahead and
read up on them in the show notes, or send us an email to
clarify.


And as a final note: Our next episode will most likely feature
the awesome voice actor/podcaster Kyle Hebert as a guest-host.
That is, as long as Evan can find a chance to play Street Fighter
IV, the topic of our upcoming discussion. Look forward to it.


Show notes and links can be found after the break.

[0:00:00] Intro: Stephen Totilo, MTV Multiplayer blogger, who
resigns from that post as of…today! This makes us sad.[0:00:06]
Opening Song: “R.O.D Theme” by Taku Iwasaki (R.O.D.
OVA opener)

[0:00:18] Hey hey, welcome to the show. We do some con talk at
the beginning. Karl’s been performing at Animeland Wasabi
(Denver) and Tekkoshocon (Pittsburgh), while Evan just ran a
panel at Castle Point Anime Convention in Hoboken. Watch the
second half of the panel here! Evan also pimps two podcasts.
One is Luke and Elliot’s Bearfighting Extravaganza (link
below), since we got a nice email from the titular Elliot, who
listens to our show. The other one is the Anime 3000 Panel,
where Evan guest-hosted on the season opener.


[0:06:16] What’cha Been Doing? Karl’s watching
Shikabane Hime: Aka and White Album,
and playing Mirror’s Edge. Evan’s watching
Cyber City Oedo 808, reading Schoolgirl
Milky Crisis (which you can win a copy of in our
contest!), and playing a bunch of stuff that he already talked
about in previous episodes.


[0:11:33] Break: “Kimi Shinitam Koto Nakare” by May’n
(Shangri-La opener)


[0:12:23] Discussion: Spring 2009 Anime
Season. We talk about four different 2009
spring season anime: Natsu no Arashi,
Shikabane Hime: Kuro (yeah, it’s not technically
the spring season, but just roll with it), Ristorante
Paradiso, and Shangri-La. Highlights of
this segment include: strawberry bombs, zombie kisses, and a
giant tank-cutting boomerang.


[0:47:57] Promo: Luke and Elliot’s Bearfighting Extravaganza


[0:48:20] Links of the Day: Karl proclaims his
love for humor site Cracked.com, and links to a fake script by
Michael Bay for Transformers 2. There may or may
not be transforming boobs in the script. Evan can’t get over
how funny this Mega64 “Cosplayers” video is. “Wheeled Beast
Cosplays!!”


[0:52:56] That’s it! Show’s over, buddy! Review us on iTunes.
Enter our contest! (Oh right, should probably mention the rules
right now) “Schoolgirl Milky Crisis” is a made-up anime
title that Jonathan Clements uses throughout his essays.
Pretend that it’s a real anime, and write up a brief plot
summary (it can be one sentence if you want) describing what
its about. Send it either in audio or text form (via email).
And make it funny, because we’re grading on how funny it is.
Got it, punk?!


[0:54:46] Ending Song: “WORLD END Instrumental” by FLOW (Code
Geass R2 second opener)


[0:55:07] Outro: Boobs. No, seriously.
