 Kate’s picks:

• Slayers 25th Anniversary Exhibit Fanart
• Delightful Ukiyo-e GIFs
  Classic prints brought to the modern age.
• Hundreds of New Tests Reveal Shocking Information about Octopuses
  They are exactly as crazy as you believe and basically unlike anything we’ve ever known.

 Alain’s picks:

• The Other Battle of the 5 Armies
  A look at the 5 armies from Europe who gathered to fight in the First Crusade. They show an enthusiasm for pillaging the cities they are ostensibly trying to defend even before they get into the first fight of the Crusade.
• Probably not Going to Get a Separate Warriors of the Wind Cut
  They would remove and change so much of the original podcast that it would be impossible to listen to.
  The podcast is actually talking about Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind in terms of apocalyptic fiction.
• You are Still Doing it Wrong
  Is there a right way to review things and in turn look at reviews?
• Insider Information
  Since several members of OtakuGeneration are staff members they always have a very different take on the convention.

 Alain’s picks:

• OK. 3, 2, 1, Let’s Jam!
  After a good deal hemming and hawing the All Geeks Considered Podcast looks at Cowboy Bebop. In the process they have inadvertently signed their own death warrants. So sad.
  Listen to find out exactly were they doomed themselves to death by Kate.
• The Hero Appears!
  GME! Anime Fun Time reviews Ping Pong: The Animation. I am amused by their suggestion that fujoshi could not find anything to do with Ping Pong. I think a metric ton of Nobuyuki Fukumoto doujinshi speaks to the contrary.
• Enter the Earth Cult
  Episodes of 14 through 17 of Legend of the Galactic Heroes have Amuro Ray, Char Aznable, the FPA being morons, Yang and Reinhard showing their ability to read the script, and the introduction of those sash wearing psychos.
• Get in the Way Back Machine
  These 4 Extra Credits videos are all about the past in one way or another.
  • Crusader Kings: A look at what started the First Crusade.
  • For a Guy Named Peter the Hermit he Sure Had a lot of People Around Him: Peter the Hermit tries to lead a band of peasants and poor knights to conquer Jerusalem.
  • Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster: That game’s title alone is why they had to do an episode about all the remasters that are currently happening in the game world.
  • We Have Run Out of War: Is there ANYTHING left in games centered around WWII?

  Kate’s picks

• Gangsta Isn’t All Dark
  Actually it is, but these interviews keep it light!
