It’s the final week of the summer season, and the whole gang is here to close it out.

And while we certainly have a lot to say about the anime we, you know, actually watched, we eagerly take the first opportunity given to us by our listener questions to spend God knows how long talking about Macross. Because we will never get tired of talking about Macross.

Of course, as soon as I decide to actually get productive and release these things in a timely fashion, I’m hit by a fever so bad I can’t even work up the energy to sit at a computer and talk for an hour.

Thankfully, I recovered a couple days later, well in time to record something this Wednesday. Megan was unable to make it, but Aaron was kind enough to fill in for her on Titan, Monogatari, Gatchaman and–of course–Kara no Kyoukai.

And in case you’re wondering, I did actually finish Juniper’s Knot before the podcast. I just forgot to actually mention it. I will do so next week.

Occasionally, when the stars align and the phase of the moon is just right, I’ll stop being lazy and get these things out before all the reviews are outdated.

This is one of those times.

On this episode of Bakacast, I totally forget to finish Juniper’s Knot. Whoops! I, uh, will try and get it done for the next recording.

We do, however, remember to review the next KaraKyou OVA–and just like we expected–it leaves a significantly better impression on us than the first.

On this episode of Bakacast, we finally review the first episode of Kara no Kyoukai and talk at length about the wonders of Netflix (and the many, many shows I feel compelled to watch).

Oh, also, Megan and I talk about Analogue and Hate Plus.

A lot.

Dang. It took me ten days to post this. Sure would be nice to have a vampire buddy who could use time travel powers.

In my defense, I just started college again and I’m still working around 30 hours a week, so my schedule’s been a bit full. That said, I’ll do my best to get the next podcast out much sooner.

Yet another album art courtesy of our friend Kenneth Alexander. And thanks to serendipitous timing, it actually fits with the stuff we talk about this week.

We skipped Monogatari this week due to it being a clip show, but the rest of the shows continue their fairly predictable trends. Well, except for our retro review. Yes, for the first time in Bakacast history, we dropped a retro review. And what will replace it? You’ll have to listen to find out.

Or just, like, use the timestamps, I guess.

Instead of choosing album artwork that has anything to do with the title of this week’s episode, how about I just use a fanart of JoJo and his dog? Is everyone cool with that?

Awesome.

Anyway, this week is surprisingly positive. Titan doesn’t waste time for once, the end of Monogatari’s first arc isn’t an anti-climax (and is probably the best conclusion an arc of that series has ever had) and Gatchaman proves it’s got substance to go with its style.

Yeah, sure, the Major’s cool and all, but I think we all know the real reason we watch Ghost in the Shell.

As you might have guessed, this week’s episode of Bakacast has us finally reviewing the first part of Ghost in the Shell: Arise. Spoilers: the worst thing about it is that there’s only one episode out right now. In other news, our love/hate relationship with Attack on Titan continues as usual, Watamote takes a tumble, and I begin to suspect I have made a poor decision.

Despite having a good number of shows to watch, we actually keep this podcast to a reasonable duration.

Though that might be because we didn’t have any new listener questions at the time of recording (which was before I posted the previous podcast).
