We made a little guest appearance on the Ani-Gamers podcast this month. It is broken into two parts, the first here is just a little bit about what we’ve all been reading, watching, and/or playing recently. It’s not particularly insightful but we each talk about stuff we haven’t gone into on the blog much like Tetsujin-28 (2004), Candy Candy, and Sakura Wars 5.The second part where we finally get to let out our thoughts on Code Geass should be up in a week or so, we’ll let you know!

The Sore Feet Song: Mushishi MMF Podcast
The Movable Manga Feast is a project started by David of the The Manga Curmudgeon. Once a month a different manga that needs some attention is highlighted and over the course of a week everyone participating writes an article about the title in question. It is called a Movable Manga Feast because every month a different person is in charge of aggregating all the articles for the MMF. This month’s topic was Mushishi by Yuki Urushibara. You can read our contribution to the MMF here. Ed Sizemore of Comics Worth Reading was the host who decided to cap off his turn by having a podcast with some of the participants reflecting on Mushshi. I sadly went on without Narutaki since he was feeling a little under the weather. Along with Ed, David, and I was Linda from Animemiz, Daniella from All About Manga, and Johanna from Comics Worth Reading. We had a lively and stimulating discussion about the franchise.

May’s Final Denouement: How it should have ended.
Warning: I am talking about the endings of Mitsuru Adachi’s Touch and Cross Game in this post.
As many other surely do, whenever I read a manga or watch an anime I have a habit of trying to predict where the story is going and how it will end. I like to see how in tune I am with the authors train of thought. This on rare occasion can lead me to coming up with a better ending than the one I was presented with in the original story. I do not want to come off as though the ending of Cross Game was not excellent. I just feel that there were important loose ends that were never answered that the version in my head addressed.
