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.

And of course you can always bug us at chibitokyo@mail.com

Dan here.

 Here is that music video with the world's greatest guitar (at least until the Kenshiro SG comes out)

And here are our PMX photos... blame me if you think they look crappy.... SCOTT...

Every morning... this was our breakfast... if we were lucky...

Our new friends, The Shitty Cosplayers.

One cool guy, Kapitan Kartoon displaying some of his work.

The lovely Lolitas. (Don't call them cosplayers)

And the charming ladies who made off with my hamster ...

(No coincidence that I had to sneak in a shot of the KOF machine in the back too...)

 We'd like to thank everyone who we've interviewed.

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. 

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.

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.
