Podtoid-san 29: The season of Gurren Lagann photo

This week the men of Japanator talk about the spring season of anime. The reason behind this is because most of the shows are actually ending pretty soon. It was the best of times, though it was definitely not the worst of times, because this season will be known as: “The season of Gurren Lagann”, cited by professor God Len. We talk about that, and other extremely fascinating tidbits of information, like why paying for porn is stupid.

Starring:
John Martone
God Len
Dick McVengeance

02:35 – We talk about our fond memories of the spring season

Iiiiit's NAGI. Nah-Ghi. Like Naga the Serpent, but with an i. Silly! ;) (And my name? Soft "g." Like gee-ahh. :D)

At the beginning, my favorite spring show was probably Gurren Lagann at the beginning and Gurren Lagann at the end, though there was a little slowdown around eps like, 9 through 12 or so. And I liked Lucky Star right from the get-go! :D

Romeo x Juliet is definitely getting good again towards the end. Heroic Age was okay. Not great, but I'm still watching it. (One ep left!) LOVELY COMPLEX IS AWESOME. John, you've been missing out. It's one of the best romantic comedies I've seen on TV in aaages.

Re: Lucky Star / Haruhi-- Yuki's seiyuu is Minori Chihara, who plays the green-haired girl who's friends with Konata's cousin. Kyon cameo'd as one of the dudes in the cosplay cafe.

ZETSUBOU SHITA~~~~~

...I...hey, wait, what? Marriage, huh?

Great ep guys (much better than last week's), the fangasm moaning was a nice touch.

God Len

we will be sure to moan more in the next episode.

...and yes are getting married

giapet

Hey, it just occurred to me: where was the Darker than Black love, guys?

What did Joystiq do to you guys?

Slim Daniels

according to the blogger Gia, all pastries are the dirtiest! >.

Slim Daniels

You guys get upset when people post video's you didn't create and v-blog them? lol

John

Slim: Its moreso the fact that we get upset at the non-linkage.
Alot of times (usually not joystick) we'll end up seeing near verbatim reposts of our work on other sites within a day or so of us posting it. Mostly its just a pissing contest, but I've seen people restate things like Len's Weekend Japanertainment or Kia's Artist Spotlight...

They just leave out the title. We a) weren't expecting it from Joystick (since they should be better than that, and they usually don't touch anything that relates to anime) b) apparently have lingering threads of dtoid's resentment of them.

Cyber34: You didn't like last week's Porntoid-san? Sad pandas

I'm totally live-blogging my reactions to this show...

Yeah, I've been busy, but I also haven't been watching anything. Like, literally. For about two or three weeks. It's pretty sad.

I AM still sort of watching Lov Com, Seirei and Darker Than Black. Also SZS.

Oh, yeah, Denno Coil too, but I'm waiting to binge on the rest all at once.

Zac, you are going to have to turn in your otaku badge

Zac Bentz

Yay 9mm Parabellum Bullet! That singer hits some pretty sour notes though...

You can probably DL all the Xenosaga cut scenes and just watch those. I did it with the first game and it was actually really cool. It was like 12 hours of material.

Kitsune says:

Argh. If you guys are going to talk about this kind of stuff, you need to call me in!!! It's been too long since my last spoiler-san.

My opinions:
+ I agree with DMV: Lucky Star sucked at first, but the change of director by ep 5 totally turned it around. Not the "greatest show ever" and I hated most of the Lucky Channels (annoying!!!).
+ I don't get the hype of Gurren Lagann. I thought it was OK to start out, but by the time Nia turned into �ber-Nia, I was so bored with the show that that turn of events just pushed it over the abyss for me. I could no longer give a damn what happened to anyone.
+ Hayate is good filler-fun but not at the top of my list. Romeo x Juliet�still downloading it, but haven't watched an ep since around 8, so not at the top of my list.
+ Lovely Complex was pretty close to the top of my list at first, but has slipped significantly. I'm currently 3 eps behind.
(just to I don't keep to ad infinitem:)
+ My two favorites of the spring season are definitely Darker than Black and Reideen. Reideen had a decently satisfying ending, so we'll see how DthanB does.
