Sometimes our first impressions in S.W.A.T. Reviews aren’t right. This may result in us continuing a show that goes to hell and we later end up dropping it. We figured our listeners might be curious to hear why we just couldn’t stand to continue on with a series. Just like the S.W.A.T. Reviews, these will be five- to ten- minutes long and completely off the cuff. There (hopefully) won’t be too many Postmortems in a season, but you never know.
Every once in a while we like to try to add new content to the site. I recently got a tablet with the ability to record video and so I was thinking if there was anything I could do for the blog with that. Now that combined with the fact that we recently started a YouTube account and we have reduced the written post schedule I want to do something that would add to the daily content on the site. Thus was spawned A Chapter a Day Keeps the Doctor Away.
The idea of the series is that I attempt to read a chapter of manga every day and then do a five to ten minute video review about what I felt. With Crunchyroll Manga and Weekly Shonen Jump releasing manga chapters online day and date with Japan it seems like the perfect time to start such a series.
I make no promises on releasing a video every day, seven days a week, but that is the plan. Theoretically I should be able to record a few videos whenever I can and then release them once a day. Kate has already suggested maybe I only do it five days a week. We shall see how well that works.
Also the series I review is hardly set in stone. Hayate the Combat Butler, One Piece, and Yamada-kun and the Seven are fairly certain but other than that I will mainly just talk about whatever strikes my fancy. I am still taking suggestions, as well as looking at what people react well to.
Other than that I will try and post what I have recorded each week on the blog on Fridays so you can just pick what you want to listen to from a convenient list.
This week’s selections:
Hisui was just on the OSMcast! to talk about Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies, the 5th game in the main Ace Attorney series. As always the first part of the OSMcast! discusses what everyone is doing, the middle part is the spoiler free discussion, and the end is for people who have played the game. Does Dual Destinies overcome the somewhat tarnished legacy of Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney? Can it surpass the high point that was Trials and Tribulations? Or is it more Justice for All than anything else? Listen in and find out.
This episode was recorded shortly before the DLC case Turnabout Reclaimed was released so while that case is mentioned in passing it is not part of the review. There might be a supplemental episode in the future about that.
