fightbait podcasts • nonsense first, anime maybe

I've put it off long enough. It's time to talk about the first two parts of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. This is the first time I've read JoJo's. So far I like it, but it's definitely not for everyone.

We had a blast at CONvergence 2012! If you live in Minnesota and haven't been to this con, you're missing out. Here are the pictures I was talking about on the show:

This is a Newsroom only episode. I had a lot of show I wanted to talk about, but I didn't have enough time to put together a full episode. Considering this is a 90 minute show, that's practically a full episode anyway. If you want to follow along, all the stuff we talked about is here!

Have you ever wanted to hear me rant about Inuyasha for a half hour? Your wish has finally come true. Even though I enjoy the series, I can't in good conscience recommend it to people. I know I said I was going to talk about JoJo's Bizzare Adventure as well, but I lied. Maybe next time!

Despite it's flaws, we had a lot of fun at AniMinneapolis 2012. We even signed a few autographs. Since a lot of the problems we had with the convention were location based, we have high hopes for next year kicking a lot of ass. Hope to see you there!

Intro | 0:00-1:04 It's the return of Ryan! It's not like I fired him or anything. Our schedules just clashed for a while. Although I was kind of grumpy after the fight we had. What Are You Watching? | 1:05-2:02 This bit was supposed to be a little longer but the audio I had of both Tony's got corrupted somehow. The News Room | 2:03-30:12 Even though we had lots of cool Anime Expo news there isn't a whole lot to say when it's mostly license announcements Release Dates | 30:13-30:55 A lot of people are picking up Panty & Stocking! How about you? Yu Yu Hakusho Rant | 30:56-47:55 A lot of people are picking up Panty & Stocking! How about you? Diebuster Review | 48:52-1:08:06 This show is badass! Outro | 1:08:07-1:09:46 Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast! Theater Nippon | 1:09:47-1:13:44 A lot of people are picking up Panty & Stocking! How about you?

This time I preview two of the online shorts from this season--Chitose Get You and Peace Eco Smile. I watch at least three episodes of both, and didn't really care for either of them. PES is okay from a style perspective, but it doesn't do anything cool with it until the third episode. Chitose Get You doesn't do anything cool ever.

This was actually posted one Anime3000 a month ago, but people have been mentioning it a lot lately so I thought I would throw it on my feed too. Is anime better now or then. The crew goes over what got us in the fandom. John-Paul from the Fightbait Anime Podcast joins Sean Russell, Jahmere Duraham, Sean Ryan and Cody Baier. We look at the phenomenon of Ninja Scroll, Pokemon and Cowboy Bebop. Lines are drawn, feelings are hurt and we present one of the most controversial episodes of anything in A3K history. We discuss Baki the Grappler, Cowboy Bebop, Evangelion, Fist of the North Star, Dragon Ball Z, Macross Plus, Spice and Wolf, Dirty Pair, Toonami and more.

I'm trying something a little different this season and doing quick audio previews. There isn't much that I'm interested in checking out from the Summer season, so there will probably only be a couple of these this time. Let me know what you think!

Intro | 0:00-1:07 I'm trying something a little different this week. Hopefully everybody likes it. This is the most heavily produced episode I've done in a long time, but that's isn't exactly a bad thing. What Are You Watching? | 1:08-3:01 This is a segment I've been wanting to do for a while. It's just what it sounds like...people saying what they're watching. If you want to participate, just leave a quick voicemail. Hey Internet! | 3:02-6:48 Anime Expo is already over, but last week I asked people what they were hoping would be announced. The News Room | 6:49-54:11 We have a crap load of news to talk about this week. There will probably be even more next week. Release Dates | 54:12-55:04 This is a bit I used to do on the original fightbait anime podcast. I kind of missed doing it. Anohana Review | 56:13-1:26:14 I really loved this show, and I highly recommend you check it out. Outro | 1:26:19-1:27:59 Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast! Welcome to the NHK Radio Drama | 1:28:00-1:54:19 Contrary to what the ending may lead you to believe, there WILL NOT be a second episode. It took over 40 hours to put this together and I really don't like how it turned out.

This is the panel that MadnessMark did with Linkara (That Guy With The Glasses, Atop the Fourth Wall) on the DC 52 Reboot. They go though most, if not all, of the titles, letting people know which ones are worth reading and which ones should be burned. To be honest, I didn't know who Linkara was until halfway through the panel. I just assumed it was one of Mark's friends until I looked him up on my phone. At that point I turned around to notice to room was packed. Silly me.  

Here is the Toonami panel that MadnessMark and I did for AniMinneapolis 2012. It's mostly Mark giving a history lesson of the programming block with me spitting out random facts that I know about certain shows. The part at the end after the fade out is the pre-intro where we mostly made Nos Energy Drink puns. Your welcome. I have to apologize for the audio quality on my microphone. I swear they must have spent ten dollars on the thing. Mark has most of the talking parts anyway so it shouldn't matter too much.

It's another episode of Your Mom's Favorite Anime Podcast! This was actually recorded last Sunday, but I was too lazy to edit it. You'll find out why when you get to the moe rant. What Did We Talk About? JoJo's Bizzare Adventure...sort of A bunch of news of varying degrees of importance This joke of an editorial Why I don't like Gunbuster Watch this instead of Gunbuster

It's the end of the world as we know it! This isn't the last episode ever, but it will be for a while. What Did We Talk About? You mom!

We actually did the show on Tuesday. No homo. What Did We Talk About? Toddlers in Tiaras Rap v. Metal Nancy Grace Fucking
