 Alain’s picks:

• Never Enough Raoh
  The Greatest Movie Ever podcast looks at the 1986 Fist of the North Star animated movie with M.O.M. and Daryl Surat. The real question is if the movie a real representation of Kate’s life as Supreme Ruler of the Century’s End.
• All I Want for Christmas is Your Love (and the Newsest Game Console)
  A chart of some of the hottest Christmas gifts from the last 50 years. I’m not sure the Wii U should be on that chart. I think either of those other two new systems would be a better pick.

 Kate’s picks:

• Your Next Favorite Anime
  Santa Company! The Kickstarter is more than 25% funded, let’s make this holiday wish come true!
• Downton Abbey Food Truck
  Get some high tea to celebrate the 4th season.

 Alain’s picks:

• The Other Wonder Woman Movie
  Chaos Theater looks at all the DC Universe animated original movies. There are a lot of them so it is a long podcast. Also proof positive DC’s main strategy has been: But Batman in EVERYTHING if was can for a while now.  I did not realize the Wonder Woman animated movie did that well. It just took a bit of time for it to get those numbers.
• UTENA IS NOT A RETCONNED PLOT!
  All Geeks Considered looks at two very different works with Stephen King’s The Stand and Revolutionary Girl Utena. I might have a FEW minor issues with the Utena podcats. Just a few. Also Kate might want to have a few words about them about their opinion on Touga.
• An Interstellar Flight to Vacation
  Megumi Nakajima sadly announced a hiatus from music. She will continue voice acting but her music career as well as her career in general is on hold. As someone who has enjoyed her work I am a little saddened to hear this.
• Deck the Halls With Patrick Swayze Cheer
  There’s no tradition like a new tradition.
• TETSUO! KANEDA!
  No you can build the bike from Akira with LEGO blocks.

 Happy Christmas!
