Show Notes
00:49:

09:50: Mike also wrote up impressions for Soni-Ani: Super Sonico The Animation
10:23: Fancy Lala was a magical girl show produced by Studio Pierrot. The series wasn't too unlike American movie Big in its general concept.
10:57: Full Moon wo Sagashite was a 2002 magical girl series by Arina Tanemura. The series received an anime adaptation by Studio Deen in April 2002.
11:23: “Wonder Baristas” was actually Wizard Barristers: Benmashi Cecil. The CGI really is quite jarring!
12:55: Geneshaft was a 2001 series by Bandai Visual. It tried to tell a coherent sci-fi story, but just ended up being five different kinds of terrible.
13:20: Initial D is indeed getting a film trilogy
16:55: Shinesman was a two-episode OVA that parodied the super sentai TV genre. It became famous for its surprisingly good (for the time) dub.
16:57: Jewel BEM Hunter Lime was a 3-episode OVA based on PC game series Houma Hunter lime -
17:04: Garzey's Wing was a 3-episode OVA by Gundam creator Yoshiyuki Tomino. It became infamous for its nonsense plot and horrible dub.

29:20: The Lost Universe episode “Yashigani Hofuru”, or “Coconut Crabs Kill!” in the western release, was originally worked on by Korean company San Ho Studios. The production materials were lost in transit, leaving the studio with only basic production manuals to work with for the episode. The final result was so god-awful, that it prompted a rework for future releases.
30:38: Pupa was… well… you have to see Pupa
33:01: Synch Point originally released DiGi Charat in two editions. The limited edition, which came with a fancy box, volume 1 of the manga, and some limited edition goodies like a T-Shirt, had a retail price of $59.98. After shipping and tax, $75 may not be too far-fetched.
30:10: Gonzo is known for their big budget titles like Last Exile and Gankutsuou, and their countless “near misses” that fall flat in some way or another.
40:03: Nobunagun is another series you just have to see.
