Episode 446: Spring Previews #2

With no TC or Ichigo to join him, Red grabs another guest host from the community, this time it’s Link of Hyrule. Hope you got them beer goggles set on your ears, because Red isinebriated as hell. First up is the news, with topics like a lucky high school student living out the harem dream, A DBZ exhibit, and shrimp burger without the shrimp! How does that even make sense? Then it’s onto the discussion thread, where the question is about who your top three favorite seiyus are. Hope your ears are ready to hear Red flub so many names up, because Ichigo is not here to set him straight. And finally we have episode two of previews for the spring 2015 season, onlyone episode left before it’s back to reviews!

Script 2 Script 4: 1984

In this episode we tackle a request by a fellow comrade, 1984. It is a glorious tale of Big Brother’s march forward towards victory. We will discuss the tragedy of Winston and Julia, two ember of the inner party who became corrupted by Goldstein’s philosophy and turned traitor.

How could a man, given glorious work within the Party, turn against it? It begins with his corruption of truth when he believes he is short of razor blades. He becomes convinced that there is a shortage because he has so few when the records clearly state that there was a surplus that year. The only answer then is that Winston is a wasteful man who tosses his luxuries away without thought. Continue reading “Script 2 Script 4: 1984”

Episode 445: Spring Previews #1

First up is news however, with articles like 151 pokemon pancakes, Idols giving up their untouchable status to become mothers, and the villains in anime that would make the best friends. Then it’s onto the discussion thread, which has been sitting on the burner for two weeks so it’s a long one! If you could remove one animefrom your brain, which one would you remove? And finally a new season entails previews, as Ichigo and Red introduce a host of new shows they started watching. Continue reading “Episode 445: Spring Previews #1”
