AGP#005 – Ghost Hound Review

Here we are at episode five already! Tune in this episode to hear
Karl “Uncle Yo” Custer and I ramble aimlessly about the recent
psychological drama anime Ghost Hound, Production I.G.’s 20th
Anniversary project. We’ve got the Links of the Day segment
thrown in at the end there, but What’cha Been Doing is M.I.A. for
this episode. FYI, the audio balancing on this episode is
probably going to be criminally off thanks to tech problems with
Karl’s new mic.


Oh, and check us out at New York Anime Festival. Karl and I will
be rocking the podcast gig at his artist’s alley table, so you
pretty much need to come say hi and bring meaning to our
purposeless lives.

[0:00:55] Karl and Evan get right into the Ghost Hound review,
forgetting about “What’cha Been Doing” and all that other
stuff. Whatever.


[0:18:58] There’s a jump here because we stopped and
re-recorded. Karl’s mic was being crappy and Evan couldn’t hear
him all the time. We (sort of) fixed it after this point.

Hound opener)


[0:44:45] Now we move on to animation and sound, the most
impressive parts of Ghost Hound.

Month Without Fansubs (Evan)

will be battling with the forces of anime fandom at his
artist’s alley table, complete with press badge and podcast
recording equipment. Come say hello!
