Stryker While The Iron is Hot

Leave a comment

Sometimes it takes a real hero to talk about a visual novel. And sometimes it just takes and ordinary person who has traded his memories to amoral spirits for super powers. But that is besides the point. In this case I will be talking about MangaGamer’s Dengeki Stryker on the Eroge Bus podcast with the Digital Bug. Once again I will be talking about the surprisingly melancholy hot-blooded tokusatsu visual novel. As with all the other Eroge Bus episodes there will be visual novel news at the front, new game announcements at the end, and a spoiler free and spoiler filled discussion of the game in the middle.  I will probably talk about this game again if MangaGamer picks up Chou Dengeki Stryker but until then consider this the last word on it for a while.

A a side note, apparently there is a visual novel using the concept of Maxwell’s demon. Can’t say I saw that coming.

UCHUU KITAAAAAAA!!

While I am hardly Mike Dent when it comes to tokusatsu I do keep my eye on it. So when everyone was talking about how cool Kamen Rider Fourze was I had to check it out. It turns out they were right. It is pretty out of this world (thankfully I do not constantly make puns like that in the podcast.) When the series was about half done Patz from Insert-Disc mentioned we had to get together and do a podcast on this. We then teamed up with Dave Cabrera as he was periodically talking about the series on his own blog, Subatomic Brainfreeze.

In the premiere episode of the Cockpit podcast we discuss exactly what makes Kamen Rider Fourze so darn super cool. We also go into a bit of the general Kamen Rider franchise as well as the newest entry called Kamen Rider Wizard. So if you like Kamen Rider, tokusatsu, or just campy but awesome things in general you just might want to check this out.

“Space…a wondrous world, filled with infinite cosmic energy. Using the Astro Switches, these young people will open the door to the future of space. Space on your hand! Reach out and seize the universe!”

Otakon 2012: Pirated ANNcast

2 Comments

Every Otakon I try t’ be at least on one podcast at th’ convention. Thar be somethin’ about capturin’ th’ spirit o’ th’ convention while ye be in th’ thick o’ it. This year Ed Sizemore gathered together a crew t’ do some rumination on wha’ had transpired o’er th’ weekend.

The Pirated ANNCast is a solid mixture of voices from around the anime blogosphere and podcasting community. Sadly the first hour of conversation while we waited for people to trickle in was not recorded. But for everyone involved that was probably for the best. The porn war tales alone might be enough to damage most people’s reputations. The audio quality is a bit fugazi but the conversation is worth it.
