Anime Diet Radio Goes to (Episode) 11!

Beck knows how to ROCK.

Because it’s one more than 10, right? Spinal Tap references aside, this is also the fastest I’ve put out a podcast, in like, ever. 🙂 Edited 30,000 feet above the ground in an airplane, too! In this episode we TURN IT UP TO ELEVEN and talk just about a few things: the Evangelion Rebuild movie (for my inner Anno fanboy), the Odex crisis in Singapore, and conclude with a roundtable discussion about the “Manga Bible” that’s recently starting to be released. This time, we actually kept it under an hour, too–though there was one digression that I thought was worth keeping and preserved it the extra file you can listen/download above. (Hint: it’s about how the Japanese plan to conquer the world!)

We welcome your comments and perspectives, and any questions and or provocations may in fact be handled over the air. 🙂 Send us your feedback and we’d love to interact with you.

  • –The “goof on” catchphrase stems from a seeming verbal gaffe I made a few episodes back, where when I said “let’s move on” it sounded like “let’s GOOF on.” Ray caught it and since it sounds like Wayne’s World kind of catchphrase we’ve decided to make it ours too!
