Bakacast – The True Villain is Shaft
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...

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...

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
I swear to God, if we record another podcast that's as long as this one, I'm going to send it to the trash bin and upload an audio file that's just an hour of Yakkity Sax on loop. I won't even be sorry about it. If my l...

Bakacast – The Week of Hate

Bakacast – We Shall Not Be Crushed

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...
Bakacast – Fire the Skirt Missiles

Ouran High School Host Club and Adventures in J-Drama
