This week’s episode marks the first time in a while that Bakacast has actually made it under an hour and a half. Frankly, I’m stunned and kind of hope this trend continues. It helps that we’ve trimmed down our list so it only includes three shows that we’re watching purely for masochistic purposes. The others are either genuinely good or showed early promise and are now suffering from an acute case of Occult Academy syndrome.

I’m looking at you Tiger & Bunny.

Frequent guest-host Thomas fills in Jon’s vacant fourth slot this week and, in a daring move, gives Battle Girls the highest score its gotten since the first episode. As stunned as I was (and still am), I admit it’s hard to argue with an episode that gives me 100% more Nobunaga (aka the only good thing about the show). But Glen, Larry and I being who we are, we find plenty of ways to argue about it anyway. Because we’re mean like that.

We cover:

• 2:09 – Gosick #16
• 11:27 – Tiger & Bunny #6
• 19:33 – Hanasaku Iroha #6
• 25:56 – Battle Girls #6
• 34:43 – Steins;Gate #6 (it seems appropriate that this show gets a palindrome for its time stamp)
• 43:46 – Dat Flower–er…AnoHana #4
• 52:17 – Deadman Wonderland #4
• 1:00:30 – [C] #4
• 1:10:06 – Listener question
