S.W.A.T. Reviews: Summer 2014 Pt. 1

Follow us directlyon Stitcher, or on iTunes

The premise of these reviews is simple: watch the first episode of a series and then immediately sit down to record a review mini-podcast. The reviews are five- to ten-minutes long and entirely off the cuff. As always we only review new shows (so no sequels or continuations) and try to avoid anything that just looks outright awful. These are the first batch from the new season:

Listen – First impressions of Sailor Moon Crystal from Toei Animation. It is streaming on CrunchyrollHulu, and VIZ Anime.

Listen – First impressions of Aldonoah.Zero from A-1 Pictures. It is streaming on Crunchyroll, Hulu, Daisuki, and Aniplex Channel.

Listen – First impressions of Samurai Jam -Bakumatsu Rock- from Studio Deen. It is streaming on Crunchyroll.

Listen – First impressions of Glasslip from P.A. Works. It is streaming on Crunchyroll.

Type-Moon Weekly News Roundup: Eri Takenashi has a Crush on Bazett

This Saturday post is the weekly Type-Moon news in addition to the regular APB post on Sunday. If you have any suggestions for what to highlight on the Type-Moon Weekly News Roundup drop me a line via email or Twitter.

  • Everyone has a Crush on Bazett
    Or at least they should. She is damn hot. But beyond that truism there is a nice write-up on the doujin game The Law of Contradiction that features Bazett as the heroine. It is not translated but the J.The.E has a fair amount of information about it in the post. The game has Ciel with Seventh Holy Scripture in it so it has my thumbs up.
  • Speaking of Less Popular Purple Haired Heroines
    Under Night In-Birth was picked up by Aksys Games for North American release. That might not seem like something worth noting here BUT Sion Eltnam Atlasia is a playable character in that series.
  • Caren Hortensia Quietly Judges You
    The website for the PlayStation Vita port of Fate/Hollow Ataraxia now has a bunch of voice samples for the game including characters who have not been voiced until now (in the visual novels).
  • I’m REALLY only Linking to this for the Picture at the Top
    There is some BS about Rin’s new costume. Whatever.
  • LOVE LIVE ILLYA
    Live character drawing is always fun to watch.
  • Saber Takes Over Everything
    Apparently Arturia Pendragon is on the cover of Hana no Miyako! volume 3. That woman is everywhere.
  • Sword of Promised Victory
    Maybe we will see Caliburn: Golden Sword of the Victorious in the future?
