Sorry for the wait people. Had way too many technical difficulties so it took a small while to release this. So now that I got a new laptop, there shouldn't be any more problems, for now. Now as far as the episode, we bring to you some suggestions of things that you should watch, all from the kind folks of Madhouse.

(0:00-8:26) Intro

Seriously, try out orange marmalade. It really is very tasty. It works very well with biscuits.

(8:27-9:12) Review (Wicked City)

Well, this really is just three sentences of the synopsis.

(9:13-10:41) Earcatch

Animeshon Hey, Josh. Make sure you make something for 3JP that way I have another promo to put in here.

Rangercast I just happen to have their promo with me and said screw it. Is it legal to promote them without their knowledge?

(10:42-15:50) Review (Wicked City for realz this time)

OK, here is the actual review.

I think the trailer captures everything you need to know. Hell, you don't even need subtitles.



(15:51-22:09) Review (Pet Shop of Horrors)

The good people of the Anime Network have the entire show on their YouTube channel. You can watch it there.



(22:10-26:18) Review (Oh! Edo Rocket)

I rushed through this review.

This shows how unique this little show is.



(26:28-) Earcatch

The Unofficial One Piece Podcast If any of the fans from that show came to here, please let me know so I can rub it in their faces.

(28:29-35:11) Review (Casshern Sins)

I cannot recommend this show enough. I want to put this video that shows everything I said, but you have to watch the show to understand the context of what is going on. All I ask of you is to at least make it to episode 8. If you don't want to watch it after that, that's alright with me.

This is the trailer to the live action movie.



(35:12-43:25) Review (Hulk Vs)

We should make sure that Mexican doesn't go too long next time.

(43:26-53:22) Review (Batman: Gotham Knight)

In Darkness Dwells

Deadshot

We only talked about these two parts, but the entire anthology is a very good watch. Especially, if you are a Batman fan.

(53:23-57:31) Review (Paradise Kiss)

This one is short, so I don't think it really counts as a real review.

(57:32-1:05:58) Review (A Wind Named Amnesia)

It's weird that this is the second show that was set in America. Did someone at Madhouse really want to live in America at the time?



(1:05:59-1:09:44) Review (The Gokusen)

Wow, they do run a lot in the drama.



(1:09:45-1:23:04) Discussion (Our favorite shows and some stupidity)

Seriously, I don't know how the hell he did that. If you look now, there is a cheap mic you can buy on our Amazon widget. Along with a few more titles we recommend you should buy.

(1:23:05-1:25:41) Closing

Since I didn't do this before, here is the link to our own Cool Hip's review on Wet (yes, it's called that) that she did for another blog. I am sure its been buried in pile of posts due to this being a Buffy blog.

Welcome. This is the second episode of the SSAG podcast. In this episode, we discuss all things RPG, even the stragglers of the genre. Also, sorry for the noise in the background, we're actually recording on the set of Ratatouille 2.

(0:00 - 23:20) Introduction – RPG 101 and your favorite

It seems that the SSAG crew (and by crew, I mean a bus load of people) has a very diverse selection of RPGs. What’s yours? Once again, feel free to answer any of our questions via email or comment. We’ll read it on the air. We swear.

[Hey people. This is Doctor. Peterson invaded my account and is posting under my name. Hope you guys enjoy the episode as much as I enjoyed having Peterson do the editing for this episode.]

(23:21 - 47:57) Clichés

Here’s a website with a huge list of RPG clichés. We went through the cliches that hit us the most.

(47:58 – 1:28.05) Why is everything screwing me over? Memory Cards, Moms, Bosses

How many times has a memory card stood between you and finishing a game? Unfortunately, we lost count of how many times our luck ran out.



(1:28.06 – 1:42.10) JRPG vs. WRPG

The differences between the RPG sub genres.

(1:42.11-1:43.29) Earcatch

The Unofficial One Piece Podcast [See that Zach? We can release multiple episodes in a single week too.]

Animeshon Podcast [Hurry up dude]

(1:43.30-2:01.21) MMORPG

This conversation might be boring to some, so I decided to put a video of someone who said less, but entertained a lot more.



(2:01.22 – 2:14.37) JRPG Dead?

Is the RPG genre dying? Is it depended on a certain console?

(2:14.37 - 2:44.43) Review: Fallout 3



Whitey, Foxy, McBeefy and Doc reviews the massive game called Fallout 3.

(2:44.43 - 2:49.28) Closing

… and that's it. It's over. Almost three hours of the sweet and sour times playing the games that put smile or grimace on our collective faces. Thanks goes to McBeefy for joining us in our discussion. His website and podcast can be seen between the theres.

[Once again, I want to thank Peterson for the production and note writing of this episode. The original title was I Shit On You. lol Censorship]

Since this episode is no longer relevant, I might as well release it. That's right everyone, it's time once again to take a look into the future.


The future, Doctor?

That's right Andy, let's take a look all the way to the 2009 Fall anime lineup. Also, Hellsing...again...

(0:00-4:59) Intro

Take a guess who we were talking about in the beginning.

(5:00-37:29) Discussion (Semi-final thoughts on Hellsing)

At this rate, it will take 6 years for the rest of the OVAs to finish. I'm sure we are going to podfade before we ever decide to give our final thoughts on it.

(37:30-38:49) Earcatch

Animeshon Podcast Sigh...

The Unofficial One Piece Podcast I still don't know who Greg is.

(38:50-1:23:58) Discussion (2009 Fall Anime Preview)

Yeah, it's already late to call it a preview, but screw it. If you want to know what exactly we were discussing in that episode we were upset about, you are going to have to write in and ask.

By the way, we used the first version of that chart. I am sure we could have waited for the newer versions, but let's be honest, we are not that dedicated.

(1:23:59-1:25:32) Closing

It's weird releasing consistent episodes. It's like we care or something.

So I became aware of some Podcasting Awards that have a nominating process that start today. So we over here at the Ass Backwards Anime Podcast are asking our one fan. You know who you are. You with the keyboard and the monitor. Do something to help us out and expand our fanbase and recognize us for the glorious beams of awesome that we are. Nominate us over at their website, please only fill out the form once and only nominate us in one category, and from my examining of the site we'd fit into one of three categories: People's Choice, Entertainment or Movies/Films.

We've got a lot of good shows upcoming to justify your continuing subscription to our show. So hey, it's an honor to be nominated, if we make it that far, and we're counting on you to do your thing as fans. You love us...don't you?

How many episodes are podcasts suppose to make within a year? Either way, we are going to be releasing this a bit early due to us being behind on episodes. That is to be expected since we are the Ass Backwards Anime Podcast. This is our freshly baked review on Yakitate!! Japan. Sorry, I needed to do at least one.

(0:00-4:44) Intro

We just hit the ground running in this episode. It is kind of the format of the old episodes. I will say this now. We had notes in front of us, but we completely ignored it. I am sure you can hear the random clicks of a mouse looking at Wikipedia throughout the episode. Though that is where we get most of our notes anyway. Trust me, you will need notes for this show.

(4:45-11:40) Discussion (This is where you could stop listening.)

We just said the entire show by now.

(11:41-1:11:32) Discussion (If you are not already convinced, here is the whole show.)

I would break this down some more, but we jumped back and forth so much that it would have broken down into one minute segments. So, to make up for it, here are some clips from the show.

Kuro-yan being Kuro-yan



Get learned by Ken



Naked Fight



Super Kuroyanagi



Naruto parody



Yo Dawg I heard you like parodies



Worth a shot



You will now notice every time he says that phrase



We will see you at forty



(1:11:33-1:12:53) Earcatch

The Unofficial One Piece Podcast How dare you pass our episode count! Hope you did good on that test Zach.

Animeshon Podcast I feel like I'm promoting a dead show. Get something out dude.

(1:12:54-1:31:50) Discussion (How are you still listening?)

Ken. He is made of afro and win.



(1:31:51-1:34:57) Closing

Yep. It has been a year already. It was amazing that after all the podcast listening I have done, the thought never came to me earlier that we should do this. I know Foxy and I thought about making a panel for con long before doing this. We even considered using it as a way to teach members of our anime club, which now consists mainly of our cast. After listening to an episode of Gundamn@MAHQ (good people), I realized "If these guys can do it, why can't we?" So, after a random instant message, we were on our way to making our craptacular show. I want to that thank everyone involved in the making of this podcast. You guys are all great friends for, not only the support, but just being yourselves and it shows on the podcast. Throughout the year, there have been times where I wanted just to stop doing this. Random crashes, losing data, lack of notes, lack of sleep, lack of time were just a few things that made me nearly collapse. But, you roll with the punches. All of it was a learning experience. The podcast, in some ways, has only started to evolve and it will continue to do so. As a great man once said: We are not there yet. Evolution is slow, smallpox is fast.

The last people I want to thank are the fans, whoever you are. In some ways, I am still thinking that my friends are just using proxy servers to visit the site at work and are redownloading episodes on multiple computers. We have, however, gotten emails from fans saying that we actually entertain them. Trust me, that beats getting 100 downloads any day. We don't have a voice mail line (Yet.) or a forum (Doubt it. Here is a cheap substitute.). So by emailing us, it allows me to know there are real people behind those numbers. I guess as a fan of other podcasts, and not wanting to voice an opinion on their shows, I can see most of you are coming from. But, now I see from the other side. Without an audience, we are just talking to ourselves. Actually, that is what we normally do anyway, so that is not a legitimate excuse. That is all we do really. We are giving you the opportunity to listen to a bunch of interesting people talk about whatever comes to our heads. Without your feedback, you will be that awkward person that is sitting there not saying anything. So, speak up. You may learn something.

That was longer than I wanted. Trust me, I am no blogger. I can leave that to my co-hosts. I am sure my wall of text will get done eventually.
