Bakacast #322 – Finally Free from Our Orphan Prison

iTunes | Direct Download | RSS

And unlike the main characters, all of us managed to survive.

Not only does this episode of Bakacast mark the end of the Winter 2017 season, but it also marks the end of me hosting these things on Libsyn. Starting at the next episode, we’ll be part of the Audio Entropy podcast network. I will, however, still be posting shownotes like this on Project Haruhi in addition to Audio Entropy; and assuming an RSS feed merger works like I think it should, there shouldn’t be a need to swap RSS subscriptions. Ultimately, this change will save me a whole lot of money each year and (hopefully) bring in more listeners for both Bakacast and the podcasts my friends are doing over at Audio Entropy.

Bakacast #321 – Tanya’s Consequence-Free Philosophy

Generally speaking, character development requires someone to experience hardship.

On this episode, we celebrate Rakugo and Maid Dragon’s finales, give Ben and Larry a chance to discuss what they thought about March Comes In Like A Lion, and talk about a change coming to Bakacast in the near future.

I just want it to be over.

This episode is somehow just under 40 minutes long. No, I have no idea how we managed that either.

The balance of the universe depends on it.

On this shockingly short episode of Bakacast: Gundam tires us out, Little Witch gives us the Sucy episode we’ve been waiting for, Maid Dragon gets surprisingly emotional, and Youjo Senki continues to be not quite as good as we had hoped.

Bakacast #317 – Meloncide

Can we just erase Gallagher from existence and replace him with Kanna?

On this episode of Bakacast, Maid Dragon has its first dud segment, we start to suspect Iron-Blooded Orphans isn’t as critical of pedophilia as it should be, and Youjo Senki shows signs of being just another military anime.

Bakacast #316 – Mad About Succubi

iTunes | Direct Download | RSS

It’s an important subject to me, okay?

No, I didn’t make a typo. I intentionally skipped #315, because I have some of the audio, but Megan’s track did not save properly. I might be able to salvage some of it to release at a later date, but until then I just wanted to edit and release the episodes I didn’t have to do any editing wizardly for. Thus this episode, where Megan and I rant about the Demi-Chan’s portrayal of the succubus character.

Bakacast #311 – A Beautiful Mess

At least it was interesting.

We finish off the last of the fall season shows and look back on this year of anime by handing out some awards to our favorite stuff. In addition to the typical Anime of the Year award, we had some extra categories, too: Best Male and Female Characters, Best Soundtrack (with Best OP/ED added at the last minute), Best Style, Biggest Disappointment, and Biggest Surprise.

That’s a rarity these days.

As some of our fall shows reach their conclusions, we reflect on what they did right, what they did wrong, and what a possible continuation might mean for them. Also, Ben takes this opportunity to talk about some shows he’s been watching that we haven’t been covering on the podcast.

Normally I try to avoid this kind of album art, but Keijo is a very special show.
