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

News

Here at Chibi Tokyo we always say Naoki Urasawa = good so hopefully the live action movie based on his manga series 20th century boys will be good. Also we talked about top selling magas of Amazon jp and why Japan can’t get let Nauisica of the valley of the wind die. And ADV gets Ah My Goddess season 2. and maid cafes.

Reviews:

Scott talked about the anime good Witch of the West. At first he was expecting an anime with magic girls. What he got was a serous love story and men suduesing find out what else he thought of this show.

Ed talked about the manga Eagle “The Making of an Asian American Presidentâ€? loosely based on the election here in the US of 2000 find out what it takes to be the president of the US. And that’s not even the main story line. All the drama of the campaign trail told though the eyes of a report of Japan.

Well good news Agent Aika the show we give way to much attention too has another oav coming. New characters meaning brand new panties to look at!!! Also we didn’t talk about this on the show but Ikkitouse is also getting a news series. It’s basically the same joke about the panties as Agent Akika. New cast new panties I tend to repeat my funnier jokes. And Dan and South American can rejoice Fist of the Blue Sky got fansubbed. I was really expecting to see a Spanish fansub for this show before the English one.

Reviews:

Scott talked about the uber sad anime Now and Then, Here and There. Akitaro Kaichi worked as the Camera guy for Grave of the Fireflies. That’s where he must have learned the art of telling a story where the characters get fucked around a lot. Sure not as sad as Grave of the Fireflies (few things are) the anime will leave you with a lot of (ah crap I can’t believe they did that) moments.

Dan and I caught the last showing of Paprika so to kill two birds with one stone I that’s what I reviewed. From the looks of the trailer was expecting some kind of cyber punk action. What I got was further from that. Paprika mostly deals with dreams and a devise called the DC mini.

Dan talked about the beginning of the anime noein. He’s going to break this show into 2 parts so find out what he thinks of being of the show. Oh yea the show is really weird. Also the main character looks like the “father� from Azumanga Daioh.

Hi this is Ed no show last week we’re using a combination of thanksgiving and the fact that the Wii came as to why that happen. But really it’s because we did do a show it just sucked really bad and decided not to release it. (I mean it sucked a lot). So for the 2 people that go to the website. I though I would leave a blog post. 

The fall season has really let me down from the look of our fall preview show it was going to be good, but from most of the shows I’ve seen I can’t really get into many of them. Shows I was really jazzed about like Kanon and Death Note I’ve stopped watching. Kanon I’ve seen already so there is noting really new about it and like Dan said on Death Note its just like the manga so nothing new about that show either. The Wall Flower aka Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge aka Perfect Girl Evolution aka has to many dam names is still my favorite show to have come out this season. Hataraki Man is also a very good show now sub ep 4 already! What this show has done more for me is got me really excited in the manga. Which is doing really well in Japan right now. I hope all this gets entropy to scan more of it. And History’s Strongest Disciple Kenichi rounds out all I’m really watching. Which is a good thing because I can caught up on my old dvds. After so much fanfare from Scott and Sal I’ve been watching Macross. I have had the bug to watch it for a while now, but I wanted the AnimEigo dvds so I have the first 2 boxes. Also specking of AnimEigo I’m also trying to finish up my Urusei Yatsura dvds only to have to go back and buy more…. I don’t think I’m ever going to finish watching this show.  

Now for some follow-ups on reviews we have done in the pass. In the podcast it self we don’t really do follow-ups on anything my whole logic behind that is we have already talked about it one time people don’t want to hear about it again, but I did plan on following up series on blog post like this one. Hot Gimmick which we talked about in episode 5 volume 12 came out sometime ago it had the parental sticker and was wrapped in plastic I knew shit was going to go down in this book. Now I like to retracted my statement about Hatsumi being the dumbest girl of anime/manga that tilted now goes to Shinju from Toriko ~Aigan Shoujo~ (read the manga if you want to know why). Still I found Hatsumi extremely stupid so much so that towards the end I was more into the Akane/Subaru love story then the main story line. As far as her hooking up with Ryoki (the dude I was rutting for anyways) Azusa was a jerk and Shinogu was a pussy. I rather have he go to the dude that you know…… beats her and puts her down…. But the love is there right? Or maybe Miki Aihara secretly made me hate Hatsumi so much that I wanted the worst match for her. I think I heard for the true ending I have to read the Hot Gimmick novel and read another manga, then kill the giant spider and answer thee questions 3. so looks like no true ending for me. The reason I read all the way to the end was I couldn’t stop with the shoujo smut. And oh this had a lot of that. I still found the book as a whole enjoyable but really lags a lot in the end…. Maybe not so long next time. 

Now if you listen to our reviews it clear that I am more of a manga fan then anime fan. So in this last part I’m going to talk a little about the titles hyped up about this December: The Drifting Classroom (3) its part lord of the fly’s part battle royal. Ever since volume one I have been hooked on this manga it doesn’t take very long for the story to settle in the only turn off to people might be the old art. Naruto (12) even though we don’t seem like it on the show I’m a big fan of Naruto I love the manga the only thing I don’t like is how slow it takes each volume to come out. Beck (6) I love music and I love mangas which is why Beck is a defendant pick up for me this month. Crying Freeman (4) we talked about this manga on show on episode 18 so of course right after that I had to buy the manga. Golgo 13 (6) I saw the movie a long time ago on Showtime (yes Showtime shows anime) but after listing about it on anime world order I’ve been really turned on to this book. Monster (6) Scott can not stop talking about it and I can’t stop reading the manga for it. With volume 6 we are really getting deep into the story now. O-Parts Hunter (1) aka 666 satan (how can you not love that fucken titled) done by the twin brother of the guy that did Naruto and I have already read some of it and I like it. Gacha Gacha (6) we talked about in episode 2 all I can say about this series is I love the fan services in this. I love Hiroyuki Tamakoshi art. That’s enough for me to keep reading this. And the Wallflower (10) yes I know I can’t stop talking about it. So I won’t. And just to make this post longer then it should be. My new obsession Eiji Ohtsuka (I’m reading and digging all his work) he has a manga called The Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service. Which I’ve been trying to get for some time now Dark Horse manages aren’t easy to find in Borders. So I went to a comic book store near where I work. And all man did they have some hard to find stuff there. KCDS was there, but I also found a lot of out of print Viz books that I though I would never be able to read like: the first 2 volumes of Phoenix and the only Mitsuru Adachi work even brought over here Short Program. It’s great because both of which I though I would never read.
