because if "chibi" wasn't in it, it wouldn't be about anime.

 

News:

Well this week welcome to the NHK volume 6 came out in Jp land but why this is cool is it comes with a free pc game with art by the artist and written by the writer of NHK. So not only do the people of Japan pay like 4 bucks for there manga but now there coming with free goods too. Man Tokyopop take note with you release Welcome to the NHK volume 6 also in case you didn’t hear the US release for this is out so pick it up. New Comic Imprint called Yen Press coming. Now lets see how big of a slash they came make in the manga world of course not being back by already exciting Japanese company could really hurt them. We’ll see as soon as they start putting shit out. We make fun of the American Anime Awards and like Scott said in the show American Anime Awards is an oxymoron. And we talk about Ranma ½ ending in manga form. After so many different kinds of release for this manga it finally ended in the started 10 bucks small book form. If anything this is a good indicator of how the release of manga has change through the years. From the comic book style release to the big and over prices books manga has gone though a lot in the USA

 

Reviews:

Dan Talks about First President of Japan I want to say it’s a book about people getting shot in the face (even though it happens a few times) this is a look at how government works in Japan when shit is going down.

 

Ed talks about the not to funny but still entertaining Momoiro Sisters. 5 minute long episodes won’t really kill anyone to watch this not much else to say about it that’s not already in the reviews. So listen up.

dan wants to be nice he can link to all the pics of the people we interviewed 

This week we talked a lot about PMX not just an anime con but a con about all type of media from Asia. So listen up! We did say on the show we would post some video we put from the con. 

 Ed playing the fist game. 

The game we couldn't stop playing. 

After that we meet the Shitty Cosplayers. Coolest group of people at that con also check out there myspace. Hopefully we will see them again in other cons. 

We also interview a lot of people at night. 

 

Review: 

Scott talked about the anime Rozen Maiden which seems to have a very comical plot. Yet Scott seemed to really like it. Even though everyone in the room was laugh hysterically at the major plot points. I guess Dan and I just couldn't take this show serious. 

I talked about the live action movie and manga for Kamikaze Girls. There is also a novel to this all owned by Viz. The creator of this Novala Takemoto was at PMX at an event called the twisted tea party, this was a high class deal and had to dress the part. As it was heard in the interview with the young lolitas my outfit total $45 bucks including part of which being my $30 dollar shoes and other 15 on the rest of the clothes.  Needless to say they were not going to let us in there to meet him, but you could listen to the review to find out what we thing of his work.

This week we did the Halloween theme show. Yeah,  I know its a week past Halloween but we recorded this days before.

 Reviews:

 First up was Ed with Jigoku Shoju aka Hell Girl. A story about a revenge for hire website. Revenge for the price of your soul. Which Ed thinks is a very good idea but after watching it 26 different times... the novelty kind of wears off. Aside from that, Ed likes stories about revenge and this is a series you want to keep around and watch an episode ever so often. Ed wouldn't recommend you watch them all at once unless you want to go mad. By the way Ed wonders if this really works.

 

Scott talked about the very weird manga Pet Shop of Horrors. 10 volumes about a guy named Count D (enter random "nuts" references after that if you want) who owns a very strange pet shop and the twisted stories that come out of that pet shop.

 

Dan talked about the manga Uzumaki. To really understand what Uzumaki is about, first you must know a little about Junji Ito. Good thing Dan gives us the lowdown on both him and Uzumaki so find out what the swirl filled manga is all about.

Reviews:

Scott talked about the soon to be on DVD Fate Stay Night. Themes taken from S&M we can only assume and one person takes on the role as Master and Servant.... well really its about the quest for the Holy Grail (for some reason it's not the mug Jesus drank his morning coffee) so if you're in the mood for a show where people with weird names fight each other for a mug .... You know what to watch. If you really want to know what the show is about listen to Scott.

 

Ed talked about the manga Othello (no relation to the play). Yaya is just your normal school girl with a secret (of course there's a secret or no one would want to read the book) on Sundays she goes out in full Goth Lolita cosplay (which I learn at PMX you're not supposed to call them Goth Lolita cosplay because there not cosplaying but more on that when we talk about PMX)

 

Anime You Shouldn't Watch:

Dan, a big Ninja Scroll OAV fan, and I'm (Ed) using OAV cuz thats what it fucken is, talks about Ninja Scroll TV. Find out why a big Ninja Scroll OAV fan hates the tv show so much.

You can now buy the great show monster on dvd……well on Chinese region 3 dvd even though I guess really importing these dvd break the dmz also but I guess its better to give money to the people that are paying for the show. CPM titles going out of print were really not missing much with these gems gone. And last a poll at anime news network for your favorite director I of course voted for Navashen.

 Reviews:

I reviewed the really episodic romantic comedy Midori Days. Where the whole plot is a girl replaces the right hand of the guy she loves……………. Man I love the Japanese I don’t know who could have come up with a more ridicules comedy and make it work.

Dan talked about the really short show Damekko Doubutsu which is about a forest of useless animals living together and when I say animals I mean people in animal suites so yea check this one out.

 For awhile now I've been having trouble sleeping, tis why this post is being written at 4:45 in the morning. Anywho, I was listening to episode 26 and was thinking about how great Japanese Tom and Jerry was. I wanted to see it again but don't remember where I saved it to. On top of that, I really don't feel like searching for it in over 200 gigs worth of anime.... as I'm sure many of you can relate,

Rather than (ghasp!) organize my hard drive, I did a little search and good ol' Youtube came through!

Couldn't find the episode where Tom goes to heaven but this is just as good.

Is anyone else out there really impressed with all the quality animes coming out this fall season? Usually, I'll have 2 or maybe 3 to keep track of. Gosh, this seasons, seems like I always have something to watch.... which is good and bad since I have alot of anime on the shelf... as does Ed.

Thanks much. Please continue your support and I apologize for the delay.

~Dan

So if you noticed the episode is a week late basically everything that could go wrong in postproduction did. We recorded this on 10/11 and it took all this time for me to get it out. Also I learned that you shouldn’t uses a usb hub to connect 3 usb mics. As you can hear in the episode for some reason the sound keeps going up and down hopefully I fixed most of it though. So you guys get 2 episodes this week the next will come out in a few days.

News:

Giant Robo site opens here

Second movie to open for Kino’s Journey aka Kino no Tabi man this looks really good. Everyone can’t wait also on the site you’ll see the ps2 game. Any one know what the game is about.

Also this list gave us a lot to talk about and fist did beat seiya this time.

The rest of the show is wasted talking about what were going to watch and stay always from this fall season.

Revews:

Well the biggest story this week was ADVs plans to sell you episodes over the internet. Of course this would have been a great idea if it didn’t cost about the same as a dvd. Also there dubed only who watches dubes…….. oh yea everyone else. Not only do they want us to watch anime on our computers…. Strange who watches anime on there computers…  *hides hard drives full of anime under his desk* but now they want us to read manga off a world reader. Hey its only $350 to own one then you just buy mangas online where if you hard crashes you loses them forever. This is expected to do really well in Japan and here in America Tokyopop has already signed on to put some of its mangas on this monstrosity. Else where the trailers for Death Note the second movie and the anime series are up. Anime looks great can’t wait!!! Also baka Tsuki started Translating Zero no Tsukaim light novels they also do some unknown series called The Melancholy of Harui Suzumiya if you know what is

Reviews:

First up was Sexy Voice and Robo like I said the first you noticed about this book is its big… big!!!. Come includes both volume one and two. Watch a girl get all the info she wants just by her voices.

Dan had some final thoughts on the Jubei-chan when he talked about Jubei-chan2 electric boogaloo. So hears prays Madhouse for really nice looking animation or course Dan like Jubi-chan one a lot more so listen up and find out why.

Next I answered the question what the hell is To Heart. The name alone will send Japanese fan boys in to humbug. Being one of the most successful dating sim games ah dating sims something the hosts here at Chibi-Tokyo know nothing about (yea I’m sure they bought it) so anyways back to To Heart I talk about the manga adaptation of the story now of course being a game first and manga second doesn’t help it one bit.

Lastly Professor Dan talks to us about Romances of the Three Kingdoms. I added the Professor part because you’re going to learn some things about old Chinese mythology  this anime may have come out in the early 90s but hey the story is even older so find out what we thing about it

Next week is the fall preview episode well will also be giving our final thoughts on spring so let us know what you though about spring season what shows you like what shows you hated at chibitokyo@gmail.com since it takes me a long time to edited there’s not much of a gap in-between when an episode comes out and when we record so I’m sure we’ll also talk about this the 2 shows from now

News:

In the news this week Gosho Aoyama creator of such mangas as Magic Kaito, Yaiba, and a little unknown show called Detective Conan gets a museum. All I’m saying is where’s the Ed museum. Also all hops of the series Air Master and Slam Dunk finishing have been crushed this week as Geneon announced that they will not be distributing anymore of Toei’s dvds. Central Park Media not so dead….. CPM still seems to be kicking as they announced  a deal with google to stream some of there shit. And when I say shit I mean good stuff…. Also a movie from a manga that won’t die as Jojo’s Bizarre Adventures will be made into a movie.

 

Reviews:

I talked about the OAV for any old school arcade fan Arcade Gamer Fubuki. I guess only people that spent most of there childhood in arcade (Dan and me) would even think of watching this show. Most due to the fact that most of the comedy in this show comes from parity humor. A lot of parity of arcade games and anime. With a real shallow story and comedy that comes far and in-between I would wait till CPM goes out of business (cuz we know its coming) and get this dvd on the cheap if only if the subject matter seems good to you.

Dan talks about bread……………and the anime Yakitate Japan(if you would have heard Dan at anime expo when our friend brought his laptop to our hotel room and said lets watch some Yakitate Japan Dan responded with “hey I’m not going to sit here and watch anime about a guy making bread….. Now someone put some more rum in my mugâ€? now he seems to be turned around on the subject.  So as Dan explain Yakitate is less about bread as it is a vehicle for parity humor with constant comedy Dan really enjoyed this 69 eps series.

Scott talked about ADVs first release Devil Hunter Yohko. About well a chick who kills fucken devils.

More notes later

Preview:

Dan once again decided to talk about a sports anime Ashita no Joe. Being one of the fist sports anime to start the scene. It started getting fansub about a year ago it soon stopped after 3 eps. Hopefully the show gets license but the only company I bet who would even look at this is animigo. So hopefully the group starts subbing them again or Dan is going to have to get him self the HKs.

 

Review:

I talked about the hard to pronouns title Yoki Koto KIku. Labeled as a dark comedy most jokes come in the way of parity humor. This isn't really a bad thing its just that I don't know enough about Japans history to get these jokes. Of course there is all the super cute people trying to kill themselves.

News is pretty dull again. But...

 

Mitsuru Adachi's series "Rough" is going to be produced into a live action movie. Ed and probably 3 other people are super pumped about this.

 

Full Metal Alchemist is the #1 manga sold in 2005. Series is still  going on in japan. Other good manga titles in the list are Fruits Baskets and Naruto. There might be others, but these are the only ones we care about.

 

Summer Season Segment:

Binbou Shimai Monogatari

A moei type anime that focuses on 2 positive sisters' lives as poor students. That's pretty much it. Ed wouldn't reccomend it and won't watch anymore and Dan is interested enough to give it more of a chance.

 

Dan reviewed the manga Zombie Hunter. This is an action title that is very much about zombie HUNTING... kind of. Alot of sex, alot of violence. Very simple action anime. Fans of no nonsense violence will like this, so Dan will most likely keep tabs on this.

 

Ed reviewed Mermaid Sage the manga. A collection of short stories comprised of Forest, Gaze and Scar. This series comes from Rumiko Takahashi, so naturally Ed will love it. It's really about evil mermaids and immortal humans and all the fantastic violence that ensues. Fans of Rumiko Takahashi will very likely love this, but apparently not many other people will.

Reason why the show was late Mates of State free show one Wednesday, Dan watching Los Amigos Invisibles On Thursday, Friday we watched Captain Ahab. So with Dan watching 3 bands  and I watched 2 so anytime an episode is late its going to be due to bands playing that we like.

Oh yea so I’m sick now and during the show so that’s why you hear a few coughs in there as that’s why the show notes suck this time.

News:

Dates for anime Expo announced. Now I know when to ask for my vacation time.

 

New Negima manga to come. So it’s a manga based on an anime that’s based on a manga….. good idea japan!!!!

 

The wallflower to be turned into an anime. Dam I love that manga.

 

Yet another eve game where you do stuff that wasn’t even in the anime.

 

Reviews:

I talked about what is probably going to be one of my favorite mangas of all time Koi Kaze. The so wrong love story between bother and sister. You really have to read it to find out what it’s all about. Not out here yet but the download the scanlations here. Now everyone go read it now. Or get the dvds

 

Dan talked about the series Gokusen. He liked the show but loved the live action which could be found here if the torrents even work.

News:

Ah news was slow this week I just plucked a few lame stories not even worth linking to them.

 

Previews:

I talked about the first couple volumes of the manga Tough. The thing with Tough is it’s a long series for a genre that’s not very popular in the US. I would recommend this title but I feel that viz will not make it to the finish of this series and it would be a waste of money for half a series but if that doesn’t bother you and you like people getting kicked in the face then pick up Tough.

 

Reviews:

Dan talked about a show that every since I know him would not stop talking about (not fist of the North Star) Crying Freemen. The old school bad ass of anime if there ever was one. This OAV looks great for its time. If you love dudes cutting people and chicks fighting with no clothes you should have bought this already.

Scott talked about the hard rocking Bastard. I remember watching the tapes of this with him a long time ago. Kind of old but still action pack if you love D and D give it a check out.

Email us at chibitokyo@gmail.com

News:

New Gantz series to start in November ah me and Dan have been reading the Gantz manga for to long we just want an ending this is a slap in the face for both of us

 

Rush the news stands for this new bl anthology to hit the mean streets…… what more can we really say. Well seen as Viz has a pretty big hold on the anthology seen with sj and sb. Though are aimed and youths could Rush win over the same market.

 

Scott talks us about Robotech: The Shadow Chorales.  Just hear to the show for this part

 

Previews:

 

Scott talks about random walk with a very thin and predictable plot you just might want to skip this one. Group doing the scanlations here

 

Reviews:

I talk about Kimishika Iranai. A 2 volume book a very decent with about high school love with an original twist. A for sure check out, Group doing it can be found here

 

Dan took on Ultra Maniac Tv. What we think is something new from Wataru Yoshizumi. Instead of just the same love story she added some magic in there, you should all atlest check this out manga is done by viz and dvds by Geneon

News:

Toonami Jetsteam goes live. I will be killing a lot of time at work on watching P.O.T. when it comes out on this.

How good are fansubbers find out what Japanese people think of the quality of US fansubs.

Oh yea Detective Conan J-Drama. Dan the one that’s big on J-dramas in the group but with Detective Conan even I might have to watch…..  Can’t be as bad as Sailor Moon live action….  right??? 

Man how lame are we this last story sucks. The only reason I talked about is the let everyone know about the slam dunk movie which will probably suck ass anyways.

 

Previews:

I talked about Magic Kaito. Gosho Aoyama first book. I highly recommend this. About a thief that’s not all to evil, and the crimes he commits. You can find the scanlations here hopefully someone picks this book up cuz I want an American release. 

Reviews:

Dan talked about Twin Spica. A show that might not be for everybody. A serious drama about a young girl trying to become a rocket pilot. and all the events in her pass that makes it really hard to do so.  

Scott talked about Gunbuster. I think he said all there had to be said in the reviews. If you like giant robots…..well if you like giant robots you should have seen this show all ready.

Promos:

Our friend Mike was in the room while we record this show and snatched a mike away from Sal to plug his band so I’ll though up there site here go check them out if you live in the LA area (and if you like hardcore)

Links from email

How to convert anime to your ipod you need this. If it’s on a DVD then you get this. Just read both programs and it should teach you how to uses them also if it’s just a straight fansub you won’t need the second program.

News:

 

Even though this story pretty much bored the whole cast. I still think its intrusting. This story just backs me up on what I have been saying that the ADV devotion sucks.

 

Kimagure Orange Road going out of print Animeigo lost its license. So it won't be able to make anymore dvds. Which really sucks because as Scott told us from last shows review the show is really good. So buy now or else these dvd will become expensive and hard to find. Lucky Scott still has his VHS copys so were good for a while.

 

Tohru Furuya coming to ax now Sal can ask him to reenact parts from Saint Seiya.

 

Now I don't know how FFAC made it on this list. Mostly movies and really popular shows always make list like this so it's no surprise to see what's on this.

 

With the world cup in full swing Captain Tsubasa is showing up everywhere. Even when Dan was in Mexico he said there where showing both series. Even in Japan Captain Tsubasa has even made it to a water bottle.

 

Previews:

 

Scott gave a brief intro on the anime Monster. A drama with a first-rate story line. Not much could be said its just best to watch this show

 

Reviews:

 

I talked about the Agent Aika best known as the anime with the most panty shots. Of course there is also a somewhat story that goes along with all those panty shots an action that delivers what it says.... Pantys and action. Also on a side note I made a mistake on the review I sad cmp has the license to this show where its us manga corps.

 

Scott talked about Angel's Tail. A very odd harem anime where the ghost of Goro's dead pets come back as girls to and help him around the house....... Yea its kinda odd.

Promos:

We played the Anime World Order so check out there show because it's really good.

Previews:

I preview the Angelic Days. An alternate universe of Evangelion. Even though it’s set in an alternate universe I’m starting to see more of the same themes from the original storyline. If they were going to make a change they should have gone gun-oh and made something completely new. With 4 volumes I’ll probably see this book till the end mostly because I like Evangelion.

Reviews:

Scott talked about Princess Tutu a kind of magic girl show set to dances. With a very original story and just a different take on the magic girl genre in general Scott really like Princess Tutu.

Sal talked about Project A-Ko a movie that came out in 1986. Project A-Ko was a series of OAV that were release as movies by CPM. This is just one of those shows that not many new anime fans would have heard of but probably should have. Project A-Ko the first one is probably the best to start off with.

Scott took it old school with Kimagure Orange Road. This is another of those old shows that were show all over the world on TV but not that is not very popular here. Like most show in the 80s it had to do with a love triangle.

Man I suck so much with getting up these show notes. Is it like how Dan says and no one reads them…

NEWS:

PREVIEW:

I talked about Air Gear and I seem to be the only that likes this show after talking to a few of my friends they all seem to hate it. Must be my almost fanboyish love for the Jet Grind Radio series.  

REVIEW:

Nanaka 6/17 a show I rarely hear other people talk about. For not being that old the show never stud out or it didn’t just enough to get licensed. At its core this show is just a very light hearted comedy the 13 episodes are just enough to get its point across. If you’re not a fan of teen romances then this isn’t going to float your boat.

Synopsis:

Since there is going to be a new Fist of the North Star Series coming out Dan though he would outline the show so anyone that didn’t watch it back then could enjoy this new fist show. Seemed like a good plan with Dan and I talked about I just didn’t think Dan could talk about Fist for a hour. So if you didn’t know about first now you will

Hey i got the show out on time

 

NEWS:

Be the last one on your block to final get the eva box set. Man I'm sure they have sold like 5 other box sets like this, but you can't blame ADV for trying to make some extra cash.

 

Dan Captain Tsubasa shoe has some competition with the Narto shoe. I would have like to see it open toe but you know...

 

Anipike on your phone. For the anime fan on the go... I guess if you need anime news 24/7 now you can get it on your phone. I don't know anyone who needs this.

 

Finally Animesuki Mascot Contest is over. It's been on the front page for so long it's finally over. You can see it here.

 

Reviews:

 

 We spent the whole show talking about fighting anime that have a female as the lead role

 

Real Bout High School we talked about both the manga and the anime. The manga I can barely recommend and the anime looks like it was just made to show off Gonzo's work. With even a harder to follow story an a lot of filler (they had a recap episode at episode 10).

 

Ikkitousen I've seen bad shows before but and would say Ikkitousen is one of them. Now I am a fan of fan services but not when it completely takes over the story. So with a lame story not much to save this show.

 

We touched a little on Mezzo Forte and Mezzo DSA. Both pretty good action shows I just found it a little weird with cuz Mezzo Forte is a hentai title. If you're looking for action with a chick in a skin tight body suit check out Mezzo DSA.

 

Air Master the last show we talked about, and probably the best out of all of them. This show did everything right with the right balances of comedy, fan services, and fighting. Now the story isn't that strong but no one watches a fight anime for a story (I mean you should at lest have something). Strongly recommend if you're a fan fighting anime.

Yes,  Jubei-Chan's art has that "classic 90's" kind of feel to it. I like it because it's at the point where anime is very much cartoony and not all razzle dazzle and realistic as it is today. Not that I have a problem with today's anime. But I digress.

    It's a great series that's rediculously affordable. Also, Bravo to Ed for doing all this stuff. When do you get actual work done....at work?

Viz views on piracy. A view Dan and I disagree with.

 

Tokyopop and Pop fiction lable. More and more Japanese novels are staring to come over here and now there tokyopop made a label for them.

 

Death Note anime this fall. I can�t read squiggles but I�m sure its there.

I�ll do when I get home.

 

Previews:

So I talked about the ninja filled anime Haimawari. I�ve only seen the first 3 episode and so far I�m not digging. The show isn�t all the way bad but I just fell like I�ve seen it already I�m still giving it a few episodes to see if it turns around.

 

Dan talked about Jubei-chan 2. The second season to Jubei-chan which Dan talks about on his review.

 

Reviews:

I talked Miyuki-chan in Wonderland. A lot of shows that have chan in the title today. So anyways Miyuki-chan in Wonderland is only one volume and not even a full one. Like I said in the show you only going to like it if you�re a clamp fan other wise stay away.

 

Dan talked about Jubei-chan. He really dug the show much that he got the second season. He also when on about the art style which seems like kind of early 90s anime art style. You could add more to this Dan.

 

So you could email us at chibtokyo@gmail.com

I previewed Ouran High School Host Club I though it was a really good show just hope there not going to cut a lot of parts on the manga to make it fit the 26 episodes I think it's going to be. 

Dan talked about his new love Nana

*side note: In this preview we kept using the line "I don't want to sound like queer or anything but..." which comes from the movie Orgazmo. Which you all should go pick up. 

Reviews: 

Keeping with his theme of Nana Dan talked about Nana the live-action movie. And here is a link to the torrent

I talked about Digi Charat mostly about the original series. I forgot to say on the show even though it's a 45 minute dvd there are a lot or extras like commentary from the creators. Which is something I like about Synch-Point dvd releases. So not a bad idea to pick up

New Page 2

In my review of I''s, I said that in the past, Ichitaka and Itsuki didn't do the stereotypical "promise" as children. After reading the series again... turns out they did. Ed sure knows anime. Heh. Also, I mentioned that there is an anime series out there about I''s that people shouldn't watch. I was referring to I''s OVA. I've seen it and didn't like it. However, I did find that there is another anime out there called I''s Pure. After watching the first two episodes, I can say this closely follows the manga, thus making this series good. For those of you who want to maybe see what my whole fandom is about, you should watch I''s Pure, but I still recommend the I''s manga because I just love the damn art so much.
