I apologize for the audio skipping in this episode. It occasionally cuts out a quarter of a second of speech, which rarely hinders intelligibility, but it’s embarrassing all the same. The lesson here is that we should never use iFree Skype Recorder ever again. Which reminds me, we’re currently trying to find alternatives to Skype, because ever since Microsoft bought it it’s been even more finicky and annoying than it was originally. So if you have any suggestions, let us know in the comment section or by sending us an e-mail. Remember, it needs to a) be free, b) work on Windows, c) be able to do conference calls and d) have some sort of audio recording option either built in or by using third-party software. Being able to text chat with people in the call would also be very nice, but not necessary.

Anyway, it doesn’t seem like we’ll be dropping more shows anytime soon, since Penguindrum just earned itself a second chance, Chihayafuru finally switched to the interesting versions of its characters, and we’re so desperate for Guilty Crown to make good on its potential that we’ll probably give it a couple more episodes. At least Squid Girl skipped a week and gave us a slight relief from the many shows we’re covering. Oh well, better a flood than a drought, I suppose. To paraphrase a certain penguin-owning badass, “We shall not be crushed.”
