I’m finally back from my exile in Minnesota and watched three weeks worth of anime in just a few days, all so I could argue with Jon. Unfortunately, he had to be responsible and go to a job interview; so he’s escaped my vengeance this time. But soon, Jon. Soon, I will destroy you.

Karen’s back too, and we start off the podcast by giving her a chance to talk about her Otakon adventure, which was a bit of a mixed bag. Then we lead off the review segment by ripping the disappointing final Break Blade episode to shreds. As for our regularly scheduled reviews, Steins;Gate continues to not act like Steins;Gate, Double J botches its last chance, our predictions for Sacred Seven‘s trainwreck potential end up being scarily accurate, No. 6 completely wastes an episode, and I finally get the chance to release my pent up rage toward Ringo of Penguindrum.

We cover:

• 2:11 – Otakon
• 17:19 – Break Blade #6
• 32:12 – Steins;Gate #18
• 40:58 – Double J #5
• 45:28 – Sacred Seven #5
• 52:48 – Ikoku Meiru no Croisee #5
• 59:43 – Bunny Drop #5
• 1:06:04 – No. 6 #5
• 1:10:50 – Mawaru Penguindrum #5
• 1:19:47 – My Little Pony #11 & 12
• 1:29:55 – Listener questions

Unfortunately, we didn’t have time to get through all the questions this time. So if we didn’t answer your question this episode, don’t worry. We’ll get to it eventually.

It’s the Bakacast Comeback Tour!

Any rumors of our death are grossly exaggerated. After going on hiatus last week due to most of our staff being on vacation, we’re back this week with a vengeance! Well, half a vengeance anyway, since Karen and Dustin were still unavailable. But Joris (aka Aquagaze) filled in for them, so that brings us up to a solid three-fourths of a vengeance… and I’m pretty sure the album art makes up for the rest.

1:15 – Steins;Gate 16 & 17
7:58 – Hanasku Iroha 16 & 17
13:43 – Double J 3 & 4
16:09 – Sacred Seven 3 & 4
22:26 – Ikoku Meiru no Croisee 3 & 4
30:34 – Nyanpire 3 & 4 (DROPPED)
34:54 – Bunny Drop 3 & 4
42:53 – No. 6 3 & 4
49:43 – Mawaru Penguindrum 3 & 4
58:17 – Dantalion no Shoka 1-3
1:09:51 – Listener questions

It’s been seven hours and fifteen days (ten days but who is counting)
Since you took your podcast away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since you took your podcast away
Since you been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I choose
I can watch my anime on a fancy tv
But nothing
I said nothing can take away these blues
`Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you

It’s been so lonely without you here
Like a bird without a song
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Tell me baby where did I go wrong
I could load my Ipod with every podcast I see
But they’d only remind me of you
I went to the doctor n’guess what he told me
Guess what he told me
He said you should watch HOTD and Fractale too
But he’s a fool
`Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you

All the flowers that you planted, mama
In the back yard
All died when you went away
I know that listening to you baby was sometimes hard
But I’m willing to give it another try

Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you

Sorry I didn’t get to all the listener questions this week, but I felt the ones involving My Little Pony should be saved until Dustin and Karen returned.

Bonus Trivia: This episode of Bakacast was exactly 1:44:44 long. I’m sure that means something. Somebody call a numerologist!
