Episode 16 – It’s Okay Eyebrows, We believe in You

Posted in Podcast Episodes with tags , , , , , , , , , , on December 16, 2011 by damedrfoxybrown

Due to some unforseen circumstances (car troubles) only Bullet Beast and I are in this episode. We do our best to soldier on without a third voice, and well, judge for yourselves.

Luckily Diego was unable to attend because he was going to defend the censorship in episode 11, and now we can save you having to type the hate mail and both of us having to read it.

Episode 11 – Trouble X With X The X Gamble

Short episode this week due to not doing the manga recap play.

Episode 15 – Majority Decision

Posted in Podcast Episodes on December 12, 2011 by damedrfoxybrown

An experimental new format for the anime episode review, which means YAY you get to hear less of me and more of Diego and Bullet Beast. Let us know how you feel about this way of doing things.

Download Episode 15

Trick to the Trick covers the aftermath of Kurapika’s battle in the Trick Tower.
Episode 10

Chapters 70-74 cover the beginning stages to the Auction at York Shin, introduce the Phantom Troupe and their purpose for being there (Spoilers: IT’S AWESOME), and tell us a bit more about Greed Island and Gon & Killua’s plan for raising money.

I for one, bow to our new censor overlords, because there's no way we get this panel animated as is.

Chapter 327
Our discussion goes off on a wild tangent and it really does seem as though the more episodes we release the more likely it is that our anti-pedophilia PSA is going to be recorded. You can hear us get progressively more and more tired as the session went on. It ended after 1am, so forgive us.
Opening Song: Kettou He No Jokyoku
Insert Songs: Haha to no Saikai & Kataki Ka Mikata Ka
Closing Song: York Shin no Masanami
All Songs Found on the Official Hunter X Hunter Soundtracks.

Episode 14 – Dynamic Duo

Posted in Podcast Episodes with tags , , , , , on November 30, 2011 by damedrfoxybrown

First there was Batman and Robin, and then came the teamup of Marshall Mathers and Andre Young, but Hunter X Hunter boasts a potentially even greater teamup, replete with what appears to be backstabbings galore. Unfortunately, that’s completely spoiler and hypothetical territory.

Download Episode 14

Spiders, gotta name them all.

Episode 9
To all of my poor friends that got slandered, I apologize on behalf of the other two. There has yet to be a PreCure episode of the Ass Backwards Anime Podcast, I was instead thinking of this Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha episode instead, so if you’re into that sort of thing, it exists and Dominic was most definitely not in it.

Chapters 67-69 are setup chapters for the York Shin arc that is just about ready to jump off and it also hints at the followup Greed Island arc.

After the disastrous events of last week regarding the Chapter 325 discussion you’re instead treated to a discussion on why my personal hangups prevent me from liking Killua in this arc. Chapter 326 is discussed in full and both Diego and Bullet Beast throw out some interesting thoughts on how the next few chapters will go.

Episode 13 – I’m going to Kill Bullet Beast, but he sounds good as a woman

Posted in Podcast Episodes with tags , on November 26, 2011 by damedrfoxybrown

So good news, we have Dominic of the AniManga podcast. The bad news is that this week’s episode will not have the manga recap of chapter 325 due to me not even knowing what happened. So you all will miss out on hearing us talk about the latest manga happenings with a near-noobish Dominic listening and not contributing at all.

Download Episode 13

One of these days Tonpa, straight to the moon!

Episode 8
Chapters 64-66 give us some more detail about Ging’s life before being a Hunter, as well as clarifies Gon’s relationship with Mito a bit and gives context to the statements that he sees her as his mother moreso than whoever his biological mother is. Do we know why Mito hated the idea of Gon being a Hunter so much? Maybe? Do we know why she’s so bitter? Well…we’ve got theories.

Next week’s episode is going to have a double manga recap (at least) so those of you that join us for that, look forward to a discussion of why I like Killua less now.

Opening Song: Toi Kioku
Insert Song: Ganbarishiyou
Ending Song: Curtain Call

Episode 12 – A Wing and a Prayer

Posted in Podcast Episodes with tags , , , , , , , , , , on November 19, 2011 by damedrfoxybrown

The episode begins as it always has, and it always will. We discuss episode 7 of the new anime series where we finally decide we can dig Killua’s portrayal this time around, even though we still have some nitpicks. The chapter review is of the conclusion of the Heavens Arena, chapters 61-63, and lastly we get more of the Zoldycks and their beautiful dysfunction in Chapter 324.


Download Episode 12

It's shit like this Hisoka. This is why we can't have nice things.

We discuss some info a fan passed to us regarding the licensing of the new series and Hunter X Hunter’s horrible position in Weekly Shounen Jump.

I wish I had some PSA or “A very Special Episode” type music for the last segment. And you’ll only know why if you listen to the end. That’s a horrible tease I know, and I’m not sorry.

Also, this Alluka stuff is complicated man.

Opening Song: Youko Keshi Soshite no Masanami

Ending Song: Yoake

PPS. As for the ending blurb, well, I’m on this other little podcast called the Ass Backwards Anime Podcast, and we’re even more insane.

Episode 11.55 – I hope nobody out there is a Milluki fan

Posted in Podcast Episodes with tags , , , , , , , , , , , on November 9, 2011 by damedrfoxybrown

Yeah, like the title says, if you like the largest of the 5 Zoldyck siblings, apologies, we’re not nice to the man at all, though admittedly it’s well deserved. By the by, no I do not remember what Bullet Beast was talking about at the very beginning of this segment but it sounds funny so I left it in.

Download Episode 11.55
In retrospect I probably didn’t need to split this episode up. Oh well. We forgot to cover some news that maybe we’ll get to next week, and apologies to Sam, we’ll discuss your question next week too.

See now that's a face even your mother could hate. Even if your mother was Kikyou Zoldyck, she who possesses Hellgate betwixt her legs.

Opening Song: Silver no Toujou
This song from the Hunter X Hunter original soundtrack.

Ending Song: Ogon Soul by Shonan no Kaze
This song is obviously not but it’s too awesome to not expose everyone I can to it.

Episode 11 – Menchi doesn’t even eat pork

Posted in Podcast Episodes with tags , , , , , , , , , , , on November 9, 2011 by damedrfoxybrown

Since the total audio length runs in at just about 3 hours, I’m splitting this one up again, but this is totally not a habit, nor is this early release. I’m just taking advantage of a rare chance to release around the same time as the new chapter.

Download Episode 11

In this first half we’re covering episode 6 of Shin Hunter X Hunter, chapters 58-60 of the manga, and we answer a pair of emails sent in by Twitter’s BOYWEC.

Me too Hisoka. Me too.

Episode 10.2 – 98% of the Zoldyck family problems could be solved by talking to each other and then hugging it out.

Posted in Podcast Episodes with tags , , , , , , on November 6, 2011 by damedrfoxybrown

Chapter 322 discussion runs a bit long, so here you have it in its entirety, and non-manga listeners can avoid being spoiled. Everyone else, you know the rules, spoilers for the whole series.


Download Episode 10.2
Bullet Beast accurately predicts Alluka’s ability as we know it so far in chapter 323 by comparing him/her to Neon Nostrade and her (former) Ghostwriter ability.

Ghost Rider

By the way, this episode has very minimal editing, but there shouldn’t be any major issues. We also take some time to talk about our disappointments with some directorial choices in the anime series so far, namely the censorship and the damage to Killua’s character as it stands 5 episodes in. We talk a bit about some other mature series MADHOUSE has handled lately, namely the Hellsing OVAs (itself a truer to the manga adaptation rather than the TV series like Hunter X Hunter 2011) and mention Black Lagoon in passing.

Ending Song: Hotaru

Episode 10 – Gliding into a Shoryuken

Posted in Podcast Episodes on November 4, 2011 by damedrfoxybrown

Because this is a Hisoka episode of course we got super carried away and recorded for almost four hours. Luckily for you I cut the episode into two chunks, one mostly spoiler free for the episode 5 coverage and chapters 55-57 recap and one super long spoiler monstrosity for chapter 322.

Download Episode 10
A Goo (Japanese Portal) poll of hit Shonen Jump manga people stopped reading before the end.

Celebrating the Upcoming York Shin Arc in our manga recaps.

Posted in Media with tags , , , , , , on October 31, 2011 by damedrfoxybrown

I was going to add pictures and everything to this, but apparently the Internet has some sort of weird moratorium on awesome pictures of the Genei Ryodan, so this is going to have to do. Yes I am aware that the York Shin arc is a couple volumes away.

Episode 9 – Boy or Girl?

Posted in Podcast Episodes with tags , , , , , , , , on October 29, 2011 by damedrfoxybrown

This week both the anime episode and the manga recap discussions outline what manner of maniac our dear sweet clown prince is. The chapter 321 discussion and 322 speculations are [spoiler] as always, but also hilarious.

EDIT: Now the audio should be less broken.

Download Episode 9

This episode covers episode 4 of the anime “Hope x and x Ambition”, Chapters 51-54 in Volume 6 (Hisoka vs. Kastro) and Chapter 321 “Monster”, followed by our usual ridiculous speculation on chapter 322.

Voice cast added for Menchi & Gittarackur.

And Feedback! We got some more!

Don't lie to us about your age Ossan! We're still impressionable children.

Opening Song: – Atsuizu!! (Leorio’s Theme)

Episode 7 – Not Working

Posted in Podcast Episodes with tags , , on October 18, 2011 by damedrfoxybrown

So yeah, episode 7 had JWHoof’s first appearance after trying to be on the show since we first started taking guests. Except then his power went off, so byebye to him. Then my recorder (or Skype) suddenly it didn’t care anymore about who spoke first and was recording things out of order. Thankfully that problem only persisted for the first half of the show and I managed to nip most of it in the bud. So if things sound weird, I apologize profusely, I’m still quite new to this.

Download Episode 7 here

We are joined by @Trickthetm and @JWhoof and we’re going through episode 2 of the anime and the first three chapters of Volume 6 (Chapter 45-47). Thanks to listener/frequent commenter Snowylocks we try something silly that led us to toying with forces we don’t quite understand.
