iTunes | Direct Download | RSS How is it possible for Nisemonogatari to hook us as hard as it has? On paper, it shouldn't work. Yet even the most dialogue-heavy and plot-irrelevant episodes leave us begging for more. I still haven't exactly figured o...

iTunes | Direct Download | RSS Daily Lives of High School Boys is really good, you guys. Just so good. In fact, it and Persona 4 alone made this a good week for comedy, and more than made up for the shows that stumbled (or flat-out sucked). We end up...

iTunes | Direct Download | RSS Great Scott! That was a lot of shows to watch! It's a good thing some of them really sucked, or we'd be in for an incredibly busy season. Unfortunately, Karen won't be with us to mock the shows that fail. It turns out t...

iTunes | Direct Download | RSS It's the first episode of the winter season, and Karen from the Otakusphere is back to help us usher in the new shows. It's a bit of a mixed bag, unfortunately. Moretsu Pirates and Nisemonogatari live up to expectations...

iTunes | Direct Download | RSS It's story time, dear listeners. I did not intend to get this episode out so late, but the universe was working against me. The day after I finished recording the podcast, my dear PC that I built with my own hands and h...

iTunes | Direct Download | RSS On this episode of Bakacast, Scamp is back to help is thoroughly discuss the series finale of Mawaru Penguindrum. We talk about what the final episode did right, what it did wrong and how it stacks up with Revolutionary...

iTunes | Direct Download | RSS Scamp couldn't be with us for this episode because he was actually spending time with his family; but we don't let that stop us from blathering on as usual. Besides our normal reviews, we also take a look at Kyousogiga-...

iTunes | Direct Download | RSS Hey, good news! This podcast is finally under two hours, despite starting our reviews a little later than usual! Also, this is one of the most positive episodes we've had so far this season, with only one stinker (you c...

iTunes | Direct Download | RSS Because some of our listeners kept bugging us, we finally got around to watching one of the Macross Frontier movies. And boy are we ever glad we did. Besides hearing me gush about Macross, this episode also features me...

iTunes | Direct Download | RSS This week's episode is a very special one: it's the first podcast ever where I've been the one to choose the album art. In fact, because of Jon's new, busy schedule, I took control of ALL of the publishing duties. It fe...

iTunes | Direct Download | RSS Since both Jon and Karen are officially sitting this season out, we've decided to bring Scamp on as a co-host for the rest of the season. Which means that, yes, I did end up watching Guilty Crown even though I said last...

iTunes | Direct Download | RSS Oh dear God, this episode is over two hours again, which simply strengthens my belief that this season is trying to slowly drive me insane. Or, perhaps more accurately, drive me into rage and despair, as no less than tw...

iTunes | Direct Download | RSS I apologize for the audio skipping in this episode. It occasionally cuts out a quarter of a second of speech, which rarely hinders intelligibility, but it's embarrassing all the same. The lesson here is that we should n...

iTunes | Direct Download | RSS In an effort to prevent more episodes that are over two hours, we're starting to unceremoniously drop shows that just haven't been entertaining enough. This week, Hunter X Hunter, Phi Brain, BokuTomo and Un-Go got the a...

iTunes | Direct Download | RSS Jon and Karen were both too busy dealing with real life this week, so we brought Scamp--who writes one of our favorite blogs--to fill in for them. While this may seem like a daunting task, his soothing accent practicall...

iTunes | Direct Download | RSS Oh dear God, someone save us from all these shows. We review so many of these blasted things that we skip every other extra segment (except our beloved listener questions) and speed through the reviews; yet we still get...

iTunes | Direct Download | RSS Bakacast, hasshin! We start off this episode by debating the role of 'liberated sexuality' versus feminism in American comics, then we take advantage of the lull in between seasons to get a couple of extra reviews in. F...

iTunes | Direct Download | RSS Y'know, as the end of each anime season rolls around, I grow a little wistful. While editing this podcast, I reflected on the many happy memories this season has brought me, mainly in the form of Bunny Drop. It's certai...

iTunes | Direct Download | RSS Jon is once again absent for this episode, which means it's the perfect time for all of us to praise Dantalian no Shoka and finally give it perfect scores. Other than that, it's business as usual, with Hanasku making no...

iTunes | Direct Download | RSS I could start off this post with a bunch of poppycock about who appeared on the podcast and which news stories we covered and BLAH BLAH BLAH, but there's really only one thing you care about. Yes, this is the podcast wh...

So, a lot of fansubbers are switching over to a magical new H.264 profile called Hi10P. Basically, 10 bit color is supposed to deliver anime MKVs in smaller filesizes and with less banding. A few fansub groups have already made the switch, and many m...

iTunes | Direct Download | RSS Karen wasn't able to appear on this podcast, as she was off bravely challenging the Hurricane Lord to a battle of wits and martial strength. As a result, we delayed our Redline review by one week. It will be on the next...

iTunes | Direct Download | RSS I apologize for the occasional audio glitches in this episode. Jon was too tired from his job to record, and I was at my parents' house, so I had to use a five-year-old laptop to record this week's podcast. I've done th...
