Episode 34 – Slow Jam

Posted in Podcast Episodes with tags , , , , , , , on May 28, 2012 by damedrfoxybrown

We finally made it to the episode we’ve been waiting for the last month or so, and after discussing it seriously we devolve into silliness. Episode was not bad, it was pretty good actually. Anime only this week due to lateness (of recording time, not date).

Episode 34 – Slow Jam
Watch episode 32 A X Surprising X Win

I’m about to lose my mind. You’ve been gone for so long, I’m running out of time. I need a doctor. Call me a doct-Oh, never mind, you got this.

Episode 32 discussion warrants a mild spoiler warning (and blasphemy warning) once we get into the metaphor surrounding the Phantom Troupe.

Opening Theme: Kijutsu Shi no Baire (Hunter X Hunter 2011 Soundtrack)
Ending Theme: Slow Jamz by Kanye West ft. Jamie Foxx & Twista (College Dropout)

Episode 24 – Rumors of Brother Trouble Greatly Exaggerated

Posted in Podcast Episodes with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on March 12, 2012 by damedrfoxybrown

This episode is a bit late because our Tuesday recording was canceled after Diego took ill this past week. After a period of getting ill, getting worse, dying and being buried on successive days, we decided the show must go on and recorded on Thursday.


Download Episode 24

For a guy getting his arm broken, Illumi is awfully carefree.

Watch Episode 21 – Some X Brother X Trouble.

We make up for our lack of manga theatre by covering Episode 21 and Chapters 337-339 of the manga.

I think the show went quite well despite the lack of Diego, don’t you? And no, not just because I did most of the talking. Bullet Beast did some heavy lifting as well.

Opening Song: Youko Keshi Soshite no Masanami (Version 2) (Hunter X Hunter Original Soundtrack)
Insert Song: Get Funky (Hunter X Hunter 2011 Soundtrack)
Ending Song: Hiiro no Hitomi no Aika (Hunter X Hunter 2011 Soundtrack)

Episode 19.7 – The One Where the Recorder F*cks Us

Posted in Podcast Episodes with tags , , , , , , , on January 26, 2012 by damedrfoxybrown

Episode 20, was amazing, in total we spent well over 4 hours talking to each other and hanging out on Skype. Unfortunately, my recorder decided you guys weren’t worthy of hearing all of the on-topic stuff and corrupted the files, so all I have to give you this week is the anime discussion. I doubt we’ll ever be able to replicate that level of magic, even if we have Doctor of the Ass Backwards Anime Podcast and Just A Gintama Podcast and his fraternal twin Michael of the One Podcast Prevails – A Detective Conan Podcast on together. I’m sorry it has to come to this, so I’m releasing this short fraction of an episode early to make up for it. By next week I’ll try to look into a different program and setup.

I’m Sorry this isn’t a full episode

(insert meme here)

Episode 16 – Defeat X And X Disgrace

There was going to be a meme-tastic insert song but I ended up so dejected by the missing audio files that I don’t even care anymore. Enjoy the short episode, I’m off to go drown my sorrows in overpriced, lukewarm hot chocolate and last week’s SUPER HERO TIME.

Episode 18 – 100 Nakamas on Moon

Apologies for the somewhat late episode, I completely forgot I was supposed to be editing this until yesterday. Oops.

Download Episode 18

Episode 14 – Hit X The X Target

See Title of Image.


If you need assistance with what we found so hilarious about seven minutes in, here’s 9 minutes of completely golden audio, because I’m 90% sure Diego had no idea what we were laughing at.

If you’ve never listened to any of the other shows I’ve been on, Doctor/Michael is from The Ass Backwards Anime Podcast, the Just a Gintama Podcast (both of which I cohost) and the one he claims here, One Podcast Prevails – A Detective Conan Podcast

Randy Johnson vs. Bird

Sadly, our confidence in the York Shin arc airing in its entirety is very diminished as we’ve gone back over volume 9. Censoring this doesn’t seem like it would work as well.

Opening Song: Joou no Theme (Gensou) – The Queen’s Classroom OST
Insert Song: Spider vs. Mafia – Hunter X Hunter Original Soundtrack Volume 3
Ending Song: Apricot Adventure – Perfect Report OST (All of the songs on this soundtrack are named after colours for some weird reason).

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.


Download Episode 16

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

You have to enjoy watching this guy. He's awesome whenever he's on screen.

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

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

PS. Adopt abused dogs.

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.

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 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.

Ookina Ringo no ki no shita de (Under the Big Apple Tree) – Hisoka

Posted in Media with tags , , , on September 6, 2011 by damedrfoxybrown

In case you were wondering about the creepy song I chose and the ending theme, well hearing it randomly on my iPod made me feel a bit weird so I decided I had to share it to see if it was just me. According to my cohost, NOPE. This song is definitely traumatizing. I scoured the Internet and found some translated lyrics along with a performance of it from the musical linked below.

If you’re lazy, here you go.

ookina RINGO no ki no shita de
BOKU wa KIMI o mitsuketayo
Under the big apple tree
That’s where I found you

issho ni asonde agetai kedone
KIMI wa mada hon chiisana RINGOchan
I’d like us to play together, but
You’re still really a cute little teeny apple

ohisama o abite
rippa na RINGO ni narundayo
iiKOda iiKOda iiKOdane~
makka ni nattara moide ageru yo
chotto mattetene
Bask in the sun
And become a fine apple
Good boy, good boy, you’re a good boy~
Become redder, grow bigger
I’ll wait a little bit

nakayoshi tomodachi dekitakana?
kukuku… homete ageyoune
I wonder if we’ll be very, very close friends?
Hehehe… Become someone admirable

donna gohoubi hoshii to iuno?
kukuku… TORAMPU asobi wa mada hayai
What kind of reward do you want?
Hehehe… It’s too early to play the trump card

motto yoku kao miseteyo
nn~~nante ii kao nano
iiKOda iiKOda iiKOdanee~
BOKU no te no naka ni ochiteoide ne
zutto matteruyo
Let me see an even better face
Ah~ What a delicious smell
Good boy, good boy, you’re a good boooy~
Come and drop down into my hand
I’ll wait forever

Things like this are why I worry about the new voice cast for the upcoming anime and instantly hate everyone who won’t give the original anime a try.
