Daily Lives of High School Boys is really good, you guys.

Just so good.

In fact, it and Persona 4 alone made this a good week for comedy, and more than made up for the shows that stumbled (or flat-out sucked). We end up pruning our list a little bit more, I trip over myself trying to explain why Senjougahara is sometimes not a fun character to watch, and we end the listener questions with an anti-climax by talking about how funny a picture I found on Twitter is.

Yes, we realize this isn’t a vidcast. Sometimes we just don’t care.

P.S. I’m on a another podcast now! This one is all about video games and–probably because it was our first episode–is also over two hours long. Thank God I wasn’t the one editing it. Be warned that there is R-rated language used.

Great Scott! That was a lot of shows to watch! It’s a good thing some of them really sucked, or we’d be in for an incredibly busy season. Unfortunately, Karen won’t be with us to mock the shows that fail. It turns out that watching over a dozen shows while keeping up with her actual adult life can be kind of difficult.

Since we had so many shows to talk about, we skipped the Watcha Been Doing and news segments; but don’t worry, the sacrifice is more than made up for during the question segment, where Glen makes what is arguably the best pun we’ve ever heard on this podcast.

It’s the first episode of the winter season, and Karen from the Otakusphere is back to help us usher in the new shows. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, unfortunately. Moretsu Pirates and Nisemonogatari live up to expectations, and Symphogear is at least terrible enough to be hilarious; but Rinne no Lagrange is just boring and Kill Me Baby is…well…just see the Bakacast title.

Also, we start our retro review of Noein and continue to discuss Persona 4 and Chihayafuru.
