Hey guys welcome to the new but also old Anime.Sr that you've all come to know and love. We decided to shake things up a bit this season, Al's work has finally become so overwhelming that he is no longer able to record on a given schedule so we pulled our good friend "Matt" who will be taking over from here on in. You may remember "Matt" from the AX 2011 shows where he was referred to as [Airquote] Matt as well as the "fact checker". Hopefully you all enjoy. In this episode Carter and Matt discuss the goings on in upcoming anime as well as put out a tentative schedule. Be on the look for new episodes every Tuesday afternoon!  

We start our Hayao Miyazaki marathon / reviewathon ... with this timeless classic right out of the 80s. Kind of a boring review overall but to be honest we were both too infatuated with Patrick Stewart to really pay much attention to the actual movie (or maybe just Al was). In either case enjoy and please stay tuned for more reviews from acclaimed director Hayao Miyazaki. ——————————————————————— Carter: Thumbs Up Al: Thumbs Up ——————————————————————— Movie Download link: Torrent Link - 1080p 15.00 GB ——————————————————————— Music: Just filler stuff. Sorry couldn't find any music from the movie.

I'm gonna start putting an ANN link to the wiki page for the animes we watch because people seem to want to see a summary thats not me ranting. So enjoy!
