I knew this movie would have different effects on everyone but never did I expect this!

It appears the one of my cables is going bad and I will get to the root of it! Anyway, we actually watched anime in our free time since we recorded last and by extension have a lot to say. Note to listeners: Be proud of Dan, very proud. He is watching anime of his own free will!!Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind 26:32 - 41:40Hayao Miyazaki is a very popular and prolific anime director and this, based on his own manga and created to start up Studio Ghibli,is no exception. What does everyone think? Find Out!Closing 41:40 - 46:06What's coming up next week? Another movie that can prove extremely controversial amongst the U.S. Anime Review...Perfect Blue! I'm excited and you should be too. Plus, at the request of Nolan and Garrett a fan fave is coming soon...

Forward Progress...

Welcome back everyone. We have a new episode already to go for your consumption.Download The Episode Here!!5 Centimeters Per Second 0:00 - 22:29We forgo the usual introduction this time around because this episode was recorded immediately after the last one. Jumping straight into the review, we discuss Makoto Shinkai's film 5 Centimeters Per Second. A fantastic film no matter how you slice and the only thing left to say is:SOMEONE PLEASE RESCUE LICENSE THIS AND RE-RELEASE IT!!!!Closing 22:29 - 25:11So Dan has been exposed to the "new Miyazaki", next time I feel it only appropriate to introduce him to the REAL Miyazaki! Let's see how this turns out, and if you have any suggestions on what we should show Dan based off of his previous judgments please let us know!
