Oh man, talk about your head trips, this one's a doozy! For once in my life, a show may have left me speechless. How speechless, you ask? Not enough to prevent me from doing a podcast about it! It's Battle Royal High School, and you too, dear listener, can suffer my pain here.

Manime Podcast Ep. 8: Blood Reign: Curse of the Undead Yoma

zach.mccue@gmail.com (Zach McCue) — Wed, 1 Sep 2010 22:51:00 -0700

I've gone and done it, I've decided to review an OAV based on a shojo manga. But fear not, this has little romance, and more ninjas, shurikens to the eye, ghosts, zombies, spiders, demons, intestines and body parts than you can shake a stick at. In short, it's manlier than many shonen series today! It's Blood Reign: Curse of the Yoma, and you can listen to the review here.

Like the idea of a bunch of nerds letting loose on Japanese cartoons? Then shut up and drink your Shirley Temple and listen in here.

Second up, I've recorded a new version of the show's intro, with better audio sampling of the music, so that should be attached to the next episode that gets uploaded, stay tuned for that!

I've had a few other podcasts that have asked for a promotional clip to advertise my show, and so I have now made one, and I'd like to thank all of the shows that have asked me for one that have been so willing to promote my work. Thanks guys!

Quicky News Item! The Space Cruiser Argo Has Re-Launched!!

zach.mccue@gmail.com (Zach McCue) — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 21:30:00 -0700

Just as a quick shout-out to listeners of this podcast, I am also currently voicing a character in my good friend Devin Cox's fan-production Sea of Stars: A Voyage of the Space Cruiser Argo! Forward Momentum Productions has been hard at work on this series for the past two years, and now episode 1 and 2 have been released!

This is basically a "what-if" continuation of the original Starblazers / Space Cruiser Yamato show in a radio web-show format, and there's been a ton of hard work put into this, with the original music and sound effects as well, top-quality stuff!

You can download the first two episodes at Forward Momentum's official website for the series here.

Casshan! Now with 100% more gratuitous Uni-Luna boob!

This show keeps right on-a-rollin' with episode 3! This episode is covering an OAV that's near and dear to my little nerd heart: Casshan: Robot Hunter, the 1993 OAV remake of the now-classic Tatsunoko superhero series! (And no, there will not be talking of the travesty known as the live-action adaption Casshern. And no, I will not call him Casshern. It's Casshan, get over it.)

zach.mccue@gmail.com (Zach McCue) — Tue, 2 Mar 2010 23:46:00 -0800
