This week I rant about Haruhi, gush about Horace, leap through "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time", and give you a primer on "Primer". The reviews are a little spoilerific, so caveat emptor.
News
Futurama original voice cast coming back, for sure this time.
RUMOR: 4Kids for Sale. Whenever I think of 4Kids, I think of this flash. The nifty thing is that this was done by TVs Kyle, a frequent contributor to Otaku Generation. I've played a few of his songs on this podcast too. Good stuff.
Epic Mickey - It looks epic, to say the least. I just hope that a lot of the concept art makes it into the actual game.
Commenting on Controversy
I talk about the much maligned Endless Eight saga from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. I'm not a fan of it myself, but I don't think I'm taking it as hard as Hitler is:
EDIT: Apparently the Endless Eight Saga is coming to an end, after eight episodes. Who'd have thunk it? Anyway, it still sucked.
Reviews
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time
I haven't been able to time leap myself yet. I think I need to get some more height when I jump before it will work. If I leap from my apartment balcony, that should do it. I'll be back (in time) in a minute ...
Ow.
Primer
I promise if I ever get a time machine, I'll only use it for good. Specifically, I'll beat the makers of Endless Eight with the Smart Stick™
so they'd have had the good sense to not make Endless Eight in the first place.
Also, after relistening to this episode, I realized that I went into way more detail in my reviews of these movies than I should have. I guess I need to go back and beat myself with the Smart Stick™.
EDIT: I'd also go back and remind myself to include all the videos in the shownotes that I promised in the show. Here's the Back to the Future comparison:
