[display_podcast]

And here it is–a somewhat late podcast episode for you all, the first since our big address change and move to our own independent host! (For iTunes subscribers and others who haven’t heard–we’re on https://animediet.net now.) In this episode, we talk about the upcoming Fall 2007 season–specifically Mokke, Genshiken 2, Ghost Hound, Blue Drop, Sketchbook, Straitjacket, and even Kawaii Jenny (which Jeremy calls a possible Japanese Robot Chicken). We also discuss the recently concluded fanboy fetish poll, the possibility of “manga nerd” Taro Aso becoming Prime Minister (since disproven), and mostly mock the choices IGN made for the upcoming bastardization Hollywood adaptation of Macross Robotech.
