Bakacast #310 – I’m Just Glad They’re Alive

iTunes | Direct Download | RSS

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.

*looks at backlog*

Only 3 more episodes to edit. Yaaaaaaaaaaay……

Bakacast #306 – Where The Gundams At?

iTunes | Direct Download | RSS

In outer space, apparently.

Due to scheduling difficulties and life interfering, we were forced to skip a few weeks of recording. So of course the logical thing to do was to recap, like, four episodes of each series we’re watching, because we’re a group of people who make great life choices. Long story short: Drifters loses its appeal but everything else stays pretty much on course. Overall this has been a pretty impressive season; and judging by the what I’m seeing for winter, we’re about to face a pretty steep drop in watchable shows.

Also, there was a bit of an unavoidable technical problem with this episode. Megan’s computer fan caused a noticeable high-pitched buzz in the recording, but one can’t simply turn off a computer fan (it tends to end badly for the computer). I did my best to remove as much as I could, but it will likely still be noticeably when she talks. I apologize for any bother this causes.

Bakacast #305 – The Red-Head Corollary

Also falls under the “Anime Witch Hypothesis.”

So we’re back with normal episodes of Bakacast. Yes, I know, JoJo’s Bizarre Rewatch isn’t finished yet. Scheduling issues made that basically impossible to do before the fall season started; and there’s such good shows airing right now that it would be a shame to delay talking about them until JJBR ended. So instead I’ll be attempting to stagger the production of both podcasts. Will it work out? Who knows! Life is chaos!

With winter finally gone, JoJo’s season has finally arrived, bringing with it another JoJo’s. On this podcast, we watch JoJo’s and talk about JoJo’s. There are some other anime that aired, I guess, but they don’t really matter.

Bakacast #291 – Everything Is Sad Now

To be fair, it’s been moderately sad for a while.

On this final episode of the 2016 Winter season, we have a sudden upgrade in audio quality! If you’re wondering what brought this on, the answer is, “The much easier but lower quality method we were using previously no longer reliably works with Skype.” So now everyone is individually recording their audio tracks in Audacity, and I’m stitching it all together. Hopefully this will end up making the podcast nicer to listen to.

Bakacast #280 – Jazz is the Mobile Suits You Don’t Murder

I’m guessing Careless Whisper probably won’t be blasting out of that Gundam’s speakers anytime soon.

We usher in what is technically the first week of the winter season with a mercifully short episode for a change. It’s just under an hour! AMAZING! Since most shows from fall were done and the majority of winter shows hadn’t aired yet, we padded the episode out a bit with reviews of the first two episodes of Yamato 2199 and the first Mobile Suit Gundam: Thunderbolt OVA. Considering all of us on Bakacast are sci-fi nerds, both of those shows being very good made us quite happy. It certainly makes up for KyoAni going from the critically-acclaimed Sound Euphonium to the dreck that is Musaigen no Phantom World.

Yeah, this guy looks legit.

We’re finally done with this marathon of a season, and we’ll soon be testing out our new review system so we won’t get nearly as worn out as we did this time. In the meantime, we rave about the endings of One Punch Man, Owarimonogatari, Noragami and Planetes.
