On this episode of Bakacast, we review the long-awaited finale to Eureka Seven AO. Did it measure up to the quality of the rest of the series? Well, let’s just say we spend a few minutes just trying to unravel the time travel logic.

And it still leaves us baffled.

Unfortunately, Megan is busy with important stuff, so she was only able to catch up on Eureka for this week and will be skipping the podcast for at least two more weeks. The silver lining, though, is that I was able to convince my good friend Aaron to fill in for her.

Normally I try to match the album art with the title of the episode, but Kenneth Alexander once again made us some art we couldn’t pass up using. Thanks, dude!

On this episode, we have mixed feelings about Sword Art, Shin Sekai Yori dips into shoujou territory, JoJo’s goes back to being totally rad and FLCL finishes with a bang. Also, we answer one of our strangest “what would you make” questions yet.

No, don’t worry, all those guns are definitely just guns. FLCL would never use symbolism.

Also, there are certainly no boner jokes in any of the episodes. That’s just your imagination.

Now get your mind out of the gutter and pay attention to this scene were a boxing glove comes out of a female’s nether region.

I’m sorry, but you’ve been diagnosed with Key virus.

You have one year before your face becomes disfigured and you develop a verbal tic.

There is no known cure, but you can at least take solace in the fact that people who are easily entertained will throw money at you.

On this barely Halloween-themed episode of Bakacast, we flip out over Shin Sekai Yori’s tense fifth episode, JoJo’s super-zombie version of Jack the Ripper, and Space Bros’ decision to finally send one of the characters into space.

Oh, and I guess I ask a listener question that completely derails the podcast.

Well, I did it.

I watched Girls Und Panzer, and it’s all your fault.

In addition to our usual reviews, I talk about the first two episodes of this surprisingly not-terrible show with Larry. While I don’t hold the same love for it as Scamp and Inushinde, I have to admit I’m impressed that it turned out to be more entertaining than half the stuff we’re reviewing right now.

On this week’s episode of Bakacast, we have our shortest episode review ever.

Which show earns that distinction? It shouldn’t be too difficult to guess. Mostly because the timestamps will totally spoil the surprise.

Also, we have our first retro review of FLCL, which I’m going to have a lot of fun with simply because I’ll be able to put this B.A. in English to good use.

No matter what shows each new season holds for us, we always know that one thing will stay the same.

There will always be breasts. In both great size and quantity.

Whether those breasts are in a show that’s any good is an entirely different matter (no, I’m not still bitter about Battle Girls; why do you ask?).

It’s time, friends, for Fall 2012, which has a pretty good start with Shin Sekai Yori and Kyousogiga. Sadly, Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun is exactly what we thought it would be: terrible and kinda sexist.

Also, we review the second Mardock Scramble movie, which is slightly less weird than the first movie only because it doesn’t contain Pervert Squad. It does, however, have a gay dolphin boyfriend and anti-gravity sharks.
