Sure is a lot of body mutilation going on in Kill La Kill these days. Is DC Comics writing the episodes now?

Megan wasn’t able to catch up on the shows, but she does join us for the listener question segment. And what a long and strange segment that was.

Well, it seems I’ve switched XML sources and nothing has blown up yet. That’s good news. Some of the very early episodes (we’re talking, like, the first five pre-weekly-review Bakcasts plus the first handful of Bakacast Brief episodes) are not in the feed yet due to Libsyn shenanigans, but it’s a pretty easy fix.

Anyway, this week’s episode is pretty short, partly because Megan wasn’t with us (due to unavoidable circumstances) and partly because Larry and I were feeling pretty tired. As a result, these are probably some of the shortest reviews we’ll ever do on Bakacast. We also decided to skip listener questions this week so Megan wouldn’t miss them. I mention this in the podcast itself, but I suppose it bears repeating: if you posted a comment before the evening of February 10th, we totally saw it. We just decided to delay answering it.

Space Julius Caesar is completely wasted on this show.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Back when we first started Bakacast, I had been manually editing and uploading an XML doc to Project Haruhi’s server, which Feedburner would then turn into an RSS feed. I am really getting sick of doing this. So as of this episode, I’m having Feedburner target the XML file that Libsyn automatically creates whenever I publish a podcast. This shouldn’t change anything about recent podcasts, though older ones will lose the “clever” subtitles and descriptions I gave them (until I update those fields in their Libsyn entries). Also, since the only RSS URL I give out is the Feedburner one, no one should have to resubscribe to a different feed. You might see duplicated episodes in iTunes, though (I’ve had this happen to me for other podcasts I listen to). If anything straight-up breaks for you, let me know via comment or e-mail.

So you know all those shows we thought would at least be decent enough to keep watching?

Turns out almost none of them are.

How dreamy is Yang? So dreamy.

We don’t review quite as many shows this time (partly due to dropping things and partly due to me straight-up not having enough time); but we still manage to clock in at about two hours, because we’re terrible at time management. Also, we talk about the Mushi-shi OVA, which makes it one of the few OVAs we’ve actually reviewed in a timely fashion.

Oh, and Megan and I talk about a video game: Gone Home. We totally spoil it, so you should probably skip ahead (or just buy it already) if you haven’t played it yet.

I hope you like my voice, because you’re gonna get a lot of it.

On this episode, we add a handful of the shows that aired on the second week of the winter season. Or, more specifically, I watched them; because hey, why not? Turns out they mostly weren’t worth the effort. On the upside, I watched Hamatora, which was a hell of a thing.

On a scale of ridiculousness that goes from Mushi-shi to Aquarion EVOL, Nobunaga the Fool is approximately equal to a Star Driver.

Not a whole lot of winter shows had aired when we recorded this, but we at least got off to a fairly strong start with the few shows we were able to watch. In a completely unexpected twist, even Noragami was fairly good. However, in a NOT completely unexpected twist, Nobunagun wasn’t really worth the 24 minutes it took to watch.
