Eeeper's Choice Podcast
Oni and Eeeper, two longtime anime fans review anime, manga. Oh and they're Irish to boot!I can hear the ocean…and my co-host crying
Posted on June 06, 2010
Today we tackle Ocean Waves (or I Can Hear the Sea) from Studio Ghibli, our first review from that studio. I hope we did ok with the review but you lot can me tell other wise. While talking about Ocean Waves, Oni makes a connection in the roles of Liam Neeson of late.

and this:

finally:

Sense a pattern forming here?
We briefly touch off the passing of Robotech producer, Carl Macek. We will talk about Mr. Macek on another show but Oni does share some opinions on the man. In the meantime check out the tributes to Carl on Robotech.com.
We also tackle the thorny issue of what will Oni review for the next show. We had a fair few suggestions. Which one won? You’ll have to watch it and see!

If you’re wondering what I’m chewing on during the show it’s a yoghurt desert.
1) Get a glass, like a whiskey glass, fill the base with fruit preserve.
2) Fill in with fresh yoghurt (flavoured or not).
3) Top with crushed biscuit.
4) Leave in fridge (uncovered) for two to three hours.
5) Enjoy!
Now see, you do learn something new!
Apologies for Oni’s poor audio. Mic change soon.

This time round I interview Keith, the con director for Eirtakon 2007. I must say that Keith and the rest of the staff helped me immensely recording and photographing the event. Shoutout goes to Ross! Shoutout goes to Barry!
I’ll add more links later today. It’s 3:20am now and I’m tired.

This time around I’m posting up the audio from the Lolita/Cosplay panel from Eirtakon in November 2007!!! Well better late than never, I suppose. On the track you will hear Amy, Holly and Sinead with CuLT running the Powerpoint presentation again. You may be able to hear me asking stupid questions but hey that’s why you all love me, right? RIGHT!?!
If you’re into Gothic Lolita fashion or cosplay in general in Ireland then check out this forum on Eirtaku
Things mentioned on the panel:
Cons in Ireland:
Lolita/Cosplay:
- Gothic Lolita Bible
- Irish Bebo Lolita Page
- Lolita Snap, Huge Lolita Community and Gallery(Requires Sign up)
- Cosplay.com(Huge cosplay community – Warning Flaming ahead!)
Thanks to Butterscotch @ Eirtaku for the lolita/cosplay links!
UPDATE:In relation to Lolita clothing, Sinead pointed out that a person dressing lolita should never show off skin however this is not true. There is a genre of Lolita clothing that shows of a lot of skin and it is called Erololita. A good name for it Burlesque Lolita. See the image at the top of the post for an example.
