What's New This Week:

-New Guest: We're happy to have with us this week yet another new member to the Jtor crew, Michelle Rodanes, whose sarcastic remarks and jaded sense of humor are a welcomed addition to the rest of these cynical pricks on this weeks podcast.

-PackedCast!™: There's six people on tonight's episode, so be sure to nail those voices down to a name or face, because this shit is getting talkative.

TIMECODES:
RunTime: [43:04]

00:00 - Aftermath of pulling a prank on Elliot.
00:45 - THEME SONG ["Milk Crisis" -- The Go! Team]
01:44 - Introductions [Elliot, Hiroko, Marcus, Josh, Michelle, Salvador]
08:45 - 2012 Winter Season Discussion - I take back a few harsh word I said last podcast about a certain show, and we breifly talk about Moretsu Space Pirates.
10:40 - Black Rock Shooter Simulcast- Michelle talks a little about 14-year olds and how little girls are soulless and why it's best to never have more than one friend. Some anime discussion is sprinkled in.
14:29 - Star Driver Film Discussion - Fabulous.
16:01 - Revolutionary Girl Utena Discussion - Which is a better spiritual successor: Star Driver, or Muwaru Penguindrum?
17:55 - Feature -- Anime Reflection: We attempt to attach an age to our names as we reflect waaayyy back to stories of when we were first watching anime. Hiroko begins with a couple certain titles...

18:35 - Elliot continues with a story about his uncle and sister...
20:11 - Josh talks about the first time he bought anime.
21:08 - Michelle talks about Cyberpunk and the great titles she's watched.

21:59 - Feature -- All of the reminiscing is COMPLETELY HALTED due to the following Evangelion / Raxephon debate that ensues between us all, which is understandably followed up by a Madoka discussion as well. We get no where with it.
30:15 - Nearly ten minutes later, we come back to the previous topic, with Marcus talking about The International Channel, as well as Sal talking about Toonami.
34:42 - We talk about what shows make us just increasingly upset the more we watch it: Panty and Stocking,  Lagrange, .hack//sign, and even this seasons' Poyo Poyo are all mentioned, but by whom? Check in here to find out.
39:38 - Closing - We talk a little bit more, wrap things up, and say our goodbyes to you all!
41:44 - Ending Song ["Polish Girl" -- Neon Indian]

NOTES:

-We didn't take a whole lot of breaks this week; as you can probably tell, we jumped from one subject to another to another to another to help fill in these 45 minutes for you fairly easily.

-Before the show, we ended up waiting for Elliot to work his ass off to get a connection before we ultimately hung up on him, not two seconds after he finally got hooked up with us. Hence, his bitter greeting.

-This week was a lot of fun to record, if only because it was the most sloppy, unprofessional podcast we've done yet. Oddly enough, I feel it turned out to be the best, most engaging show once it had been put into editing form, if only because of my desperate attempts to keep topics going to save this week from being a failure.

-This week, our Skype call lasted: 2hrs 40mins 36secs
