2009 is finally here, so we’re naturally taking a look back at
our favorite anime, manga, and video game titles of the past
year. The first half of episode #011 (this show) goes in the
following order: In Mitchy’s segment, he and Evan talk about
Mitchy’s favorite game, C&C: Red Alert 3. Then the duo moves
on to the 2008 manga Evan is currently geeking out over, Me and
the Devil Blues. Finally, Karl does a solo recording about The
Tower of Druaga: The Aegis of Uruk.

[0:00:00] Opening Song: “R.O.D Theme” by Taku Iwasaki
(R.O.D. OVA opener)[0:00:15] Evan’s wishing
everybody a Happy New Year and explaining the convoluted
recording plans that ended us up with two different episodes with
a different set of hosts.

[0:01:14] Mitchy is ready to rant and rave about Command
& Conquer: Red Alert 3 (developed by EA Los
Angeles), but first he adds a follow-up to our original
Mirror’s Edge discussion in episode #009. I cut
out some of the ME conversation, since we got
quite off-topic. Topics for this segment include psychic
schoolgirls, tripedal lightsaber-wielding robots, and
bearatroopers. Also, Golgo 13.

[0:10:48] Evan tries his hand at explaining Me and the
Devil Blues (by Akira Hiramoto). Basically, Japan
finally made something with black people in it that isn’t
unintentionally racist. Topics for this segment include
ten-fingered hands, bug-eyed white kids, and Golgo 13 again.


[0:22:13] Break: “SWINGING” by Muramasa (The Tower of
Druaga: The Aegis of Uruk opener)


[0:23:20] Karl goes this one alone, but he still manages to
talk up a storm about The Tower of Druaga: The Aegis of
Uruk. RPG cliches and D&D references abound in this
mini-review. Topics for this segment include D20s, the
Delicious Happy Fluffy Pink Cupcake of Redundant Happiness, and
COOPA.


[0:31:48] Ending Song: “WORLD END” by FLOW (Code Geass R2
second opener)
