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

 

News:

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:

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
