S.W.A.T. Reviews: Spring 2014 Pt. 2

Leave a comment

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 final batch from the new season:

Listen – First impressions of The File of Young Kindaichi Returns from Toei Animation. It is streaming on Crunchyroll.

Listen – First impressions of Riddle Story of Devil from Diomedea. It is streaming on Funimation and Hulu.

Listen – First impressions of No Game No Life from MADHOUSE. It is streaming on Crunchyroll.

Listen – First impressions of Mekaku City Actors from SHAFT. It is streaming on Crunchyroll.

Listen – First impressions of Mushishi the Next Chapter from Artland. It is streaming on Crunchyroll.

Listen – First impressions of M3 the Dark Metal from Satelight. It is streaming on Daisuke.

Drink #052: Death of a Virgin
PAX East 2014

Our first experience with PAX East was an overwhelmingly positive one. So much so that we hope to add it to our list of regular, staple cons we return to each year. It was a whirlwind weekend with all the trappings of other cons we’ve attended, but this one was all about gaming. We discuss everything from the hotel location, the convention center, PWNMEAL, PA themselves, and lots of other stuff.

(Listen)

And now your helpful bartenders at The Speakeasy present your drink:

Death of a Virgin

  • 1 1/2 oz vodka
  • 1 1/2 oz peach schnapps
  • 1 oz lime juice
  • orange juice
  • 7-up soda

Pour vodka, schnapps and lime juice into a glass. Add orange juice until the glass is half-filled, and fill completely with 7-up. Stir well, and serve.
