First up in the news was anime eyes.

 

Best before and after pic ever.

 

In the reviews first up was Scott with Maris the Chojo. From Rumiko Takahashi (yea she can make short stories too). We get girl type ranma only with 10% more buff. Find out if it’s any good.

 

Next up was Ed with Kilico. The cover screams bad assory but can its cash the checks its writing find out in the review.

 

And to close things off was Dan doing Cat Eye Boy. I think Kazuo Umezu is like the Chibi Tokyo dead horse. What is there to say about him that hasn’t been said….. find out!!

First off was Scott with his review of Black Magic M-88. Find out what he though about this mech filled anime. Also hear him as he discusses the sexuality of Massamune Shirow.

Next was Ed with Moetan. So being in the game for a while I’m sure you seen more then enough lilocon shows. So what’s going to make Moetan different? Well listen up and you’ll find out.

Finally Dan talks about the book. “The Astro Boy Essays” by Frederik L. Schodt. A book about Astro Boy and Osamu Tezuka.

Osamu Tezuka will always be an OG. Let us spill our 40s on the sidewalk, straight pimping fo life.

I could explain why it took so long to get this episode out but I think this picture and 2 words would make my point.

WE’RE LAZY

All news is pretty much old still listen its funny

Ed Starts the reviews off with Dear mine. Ed really loves Sappy ribbonest love stories. Find out what he thinks of this one.

Next Dan gives it a go with Bus Gamer. Nor in the review I heard nothing about buses or video games. Funny side story I used to be a Bus gamer, playing my ds on the metro.

Scott was next with Luna Varga. Now we make jokes about Scott just talking and talking about his review this one he must of gone on for 30 minutes lucky for you most of that is edited out.

To close things off was Dan again with Gyooooo!!. If the picture below doesn’t make you want to read it Dan review might. 

 

Instead of filling a whole Chibi-Tokyo show with ax news. We’re going to spread them out with Chibi-Tokyo news bites. Get the first mini episode here

If your going to ax don't forget to check out fellow Socal podcaster's Panel Ben From Anime Genisis.

We'll be there with bells on. wait that sounds really fruity we'll just be there minus the bells

Proof that to heart started the sucking of anime.

 

Scott talks about Iczer one. Which could be the god father of tentacle porn.

 

Ed Talks about D-ash. A manga about running ( I know you can’t tell from the name) if you like what you hear from the review you can download the manga from animewaves.

 

And Dan finishes things off by talking about our buddy our homi g Kazuo Umezu. Here’s the youtube clip we were talking about in the show.

 

Dan talks about Reptilla (not the Strokes song) and why Kazuo Umezu is so crazy.

On this episode of Chibi-Tokyo, Ed flies solo as he recaps our experiences at San Jose's (and in our opinion, the west coast's best Anime Convention) Fanime.

 

Fanime isn't the type of convention where big announcements made, but that didn't make the Dark Horse panel not interesting. Carl Horn (that's right, the mac-daddy, playa'-hata' of the year every year ) was the panelist for this year and even though he said he'd save some big announcements for this year's San Diego Comic Con, he did share a few things such as previews for Manga, such as Gantz, in the upcoming months and also some philosophies that Dark Horse practice in their manga division. He described Dark Horse going after a happy medium. If they were to release manga in it's original right to left form, it would alienate people who aren't familiar with manga, thus they would miss out on great stories. On the other hand, if they were to print it in a "flopped" style, or right to left, they would dissapoint the manga purists who want everything in it's original form. Dark Horse chooses to flip their manga from left to right in order to reach as many people as possible, while trying very hard to keep the original work's integrity. One example of his was Vertical Publishing who is enjoying some success putting out many of Osamu Tezuka's lesser known works for an American audience. A very interesting panel to attend and we look forward to seeing what Dark Horse has in store for Comic Con.

 

Also, this year at Fanime, we had a panel which was titled Mangaka Are All Perverts! and we think it went over well with the San Jose crowd. Our panel was video recorded and should be available soon. Until that happens... let this tide you over.

For our first interview, We were able to catch a moment with Jason Thompson. Notable for writing Manga: The Complete Guide.

 

Next, after attending their panel Why Girls Love Sentai we chatted with Panda Cube and had them explain to what the big deal is with Sentai.

Ever wonder how to pick up chicks at a con (not us, man. We're swimming in da ladies)? Now you can find out.

In typical Chibi-Tokyo fashion, since it was too hard to reach the panelists of How to Talk to Girls, we caught TWO chicks who attended this panel and they taught us how it really works.

...and then they joined us for lunch. Up yours How to Talk to Girls panel!

 

Finallly, we were able to interview Austin Osueke from eigoMANGA.

 

Picture of Austin isn't available because Ed was too busy drinking and not doing his damn job!

 

A little more than a week ago, someone over at Anime World Order pointed us over to this Fansubbers Documentary. It's an interesting Documentary and we agree that people who consider themselves an anime fan should watch it.

 

 

So all in all, Fanime continues to be a fantastic con. We made some new friends and it's worth the trip to anyone who is able to attend. Thanks for listening and sit tight for more Chibi-Tokyo coming soon.

Ed talks about the anime Human Crossing. With such a true to life series the boys here at Chibi Tokyo will ones again bring you a hard hitting serious review. That means no fart jokes….. well maybe just one. See if they can hold it together.

Oh well at lest we tried to be serious.

First up was Dan with his reviews of Blue Spring. Now we all know Tekkonkinkreet was messed up. So now Viz is striking while the iron is how with another of Taiyo Matsumoto’s books Blue Spring. Find out in the review if Viz knows what its doing.
