The past week has not been kind to my memory.

We’ve got another long Bakacast for you, as we tackle a huge list of shows and Aaron subjects us all to Valkyrie Drive: Mermaid. Remind me never to let Aaron convince me to watch anything ever again.

Bakacast #269 – Improper Seatbelt Handling

They definitely aren’t following OSHA regulations.

This ended up being a pretty jam-packed fall season. To the point where–if Heavy Object is the only show we drop–it’d take around 6 hours to watch everything. That’s…a little insane, so we’ll probably end up making cuts to shows that aren’t bad but also aren’t quite interesting enough. So I apologize in advance if I make an executive decision to stop reviewing your favorite show; but in my defense, I would probably go insane doing this every week.

Also, during listener questions I end up rambling about the various sources I get my remixes from. Some of them come from me discovering them randomly through social media channels, but I also list off a few sources I regularly turn to for ending music. For convenience sake, those sources are: various Youtube channels I follow (particularly shoopfex, Triple-Q and Botanic Sage), OCRemix, and MashupYourBootz.

Also also, please watch the best AMV I’ve seen in my life. No, seriously, it’s incredible.

Bakacast #268 – Moe Jesus

The kawaii was made flesh and dwelt among us.

On this episode of Bakacast, we finally wrap up of the remains of the summer season. Which means I finally get to release the full force of my wrath against Gatchaman Insight. If you’ve been waiting for one of my old-fashioned impassioned rants, this is the episode for you. Also, we finally have some listener questions to answer! From Mark! Which means they take up over half the episode! It’s so nostalgic.

Also, here’s FathomlessBlue’s writeup on Gatchaman Crowds Insight, which you should probably read.

Bakacast #267 – The Ur-Mushishi

Now to try not to think about the fact that we won’t be getting any more Mushishi, but will be getting a million more light novel adaptations.

On this episode of Bakacast, we finish off most of the series that aired this season. And just like the season as a whole, the ratings for this week are another mixed bag. Next week, we’ll be catching up on the last episodes of Gatchaman and Saint Seiya: Soul of Gold to see if they ended on high notes.

Bakacast #266 – The System Is Broken

But the movie’s pretty good.

I’m making this post right before I’m about to help my mother shovel dead cactus limbs into a garbage can, because that’s the sort of thing you do in Arizona. So forgive me for being prickly, but I’m gonna have to cut this particular commentary short. To be fair to me, all you really need to know is that Ranpo Kitan got even weirder by the end, Shimoneta is still…Shimoneta, and the Psycho-Pass movie will help you forget that season two even existed.

Bakacast #265 – The Final Shot

Knowing it’s coming doesn’t make it easier.

Well, Flag is finally done, and I hope those who followed along with us enjoyed it as much as we did. Especially since there’s not a whole lot else this season to be particularly stoked about. One of these days, Dragon Ball will become interesting.

One of these days.

Bakacast #264 – Is That Horse Street Legal?

As if the Durarara police ever accomplish anything.

Well, this week was…suboptimal. Durarara and Flag continue to be solid, but Arslan, Ushio, Gatchaman and God Eater all ended up being disappointing in some form or another. To be fair to Arslan, though, at least it ain’t Gatchaman.

Bakacast #262 – But is the Sheep Okay?

Cute sheep are more important than mecha.

On this episode of Bakacast, Dragon Ball bores us, Durarara narrowly avoids sending me on a grief-induced rampage, Shimoneta continues beating a long-dead horse, and God Eater goes full grim-dark.

Also, I set up a poll where you can vote on which retro review we’ll do next. So go do that. You know, if you want to.

Bakacast #261 – It’s Time to D-D-D-D-D-D-D-Drift

What if we made “Fast and the Furious” into an anime card game?

Hello, everyone! I’m sick! Not, like, in a perverted sense (though that’s probably accurate), but a “where is all this mucus coming from” sense. If the next episode of the podcast doesn’t get uploaded shortly after this one, I’ve probably drowned in a sea of my own sinus drainage. If that comes to pass, please tell Larry I loved him.
