Fighting will get you the girl. Or stuffing her in a barrel. Whichever works for you.
This time round we are looking at the classic manga Apollo’s Song
Reviews
Apollo’s Song
What’s an Apollo’s song? In a shell an Osamu Tezuka story full of deep inner meaning, self denial and oddly placed humour. Shogo (Apollo) is cursed by the goddess of love, Aphrodite, as a penance towards his cruel and cold hearted approach to love. Shogo is given a couple of chances, during various times thorough human history, to experience real love but because of the curse is destined to lose that love every single time. The story its self is well crafted and enjoyable apart from the unusually placed “fourth wall” comedy moments. If you find it, add it to your collection , it does appeal to a broader audience then most current publications.

Carl Macek will be denied!!!
This week myself and Aaron from the Weekly Anime Review take a look at Super Dimension Century Orguss, a classic series from the 1980′s. You know “the before time”. Anywho, a hiccup has meant that the two volumes I own and the one volume Aaron owns, are the only ones we can have at the moment. Imaginasian and TMS are working to start printing more DVD’s soon but it’s not looking good folks.
This show is the twin to my appearance on the WARP anime podcast hosted by Aaron. Check out it here. Aaron released his show AGES ago before he even went on holiday! Oh, well.

This week I have Gerald from Anime World Order join me to review Fight! Iczer 1 an anime from 1985. With angsty naked schoolgirls, high eyeliner, lesbians, giant robots, the best damn Earth Defense Force EVER and Kaneto Shiozawa as a naked, evil, blonde-haired alien child(!?!) this title has anything and everything. Check out this tribute YouTube video(thanks to Regan for the link):

Eirtakon 2007 Fan Subbing Panel Special
Well it’s that time again. This is where I make excuses about the show being late. Well to hell with that. It’s Christmas after all. Season of Good Will and all that, right? RIGHT?? Ah, forget it. Anyways, this is the audio from the fansubbing panel at Eirtakon 2007. Present at the panel was Pazuzu from SD Project, Hybridchild from Shin-Getter and CuLT from Studio ADTRW. Also if at times the panel and ourselves are laughing out loud for seemingly no reason, it’s because CuLT kept typing jokes with the running PowerPoint presentation at the panel. They talked about the ins and outs of fansubbing and also talking about Bandai’s troubles with the dub-title fiasco with Gundam Zeta.
If you don’t want to listen to me then the panel itself starts at 01:45 and runs until 58:14.
