Opening credits. But it's at the very end of it and like I said the worse you get is Index's rear end when she does a turn for a second, plus it's the first opening so you only have to deal with it for 12 or so episodes in
It's more frequent in Railgun than in Index due to a "Certain Lesbian Teleporter" screen time but it's not the main focus of the show |

As for the shojo question, as a girl, I have to say, I don't really buy sappy romantic stories, the only one I've actually bought was RomeoXJuliet. I do enjoy Fruits Basket and I started High School Debut, but nothing really appeals to me in the genre. And if Twilight doesn't sell, and that's not really a manga that's manwa, at least I think it is, then shojo isn't really going to sell, unless it's really good, or based off something we already know, like RomeoXJuliet.

Does anyone else think the guy at the end sounded really pretentious? Like he was trying to justify his love of anime because of the "Shakespearean" personification of the characters?
I really dislike when people try to say anime is some artform that transcends anything that would ever be done by Western studios. I don't know what anime he's been watching lately, but not everything gets that same detail of character. I enjoy Dragonball and Naruto as much as I enjoy Cowboy Bebop and Death Note. Just sayin', anime ain't ALL that. Besides, most American cartoons that get that type of detail are usually turned into movies. Like the Disney golden age of animation (before the 3D animation). |

You know I find it funny that girls don't really like shojou as much as guys do, everytime I ask a girl what type of manga she reads it's always in the shounen seinen variety and the most response I get in the shojou variety are either Fruit Baskets or NANA, but I know a guy who loves shojou manga. Hmmm, go figure |

Why did the creepy guy get two questions? Was he just too funny to avoid?

A few people got to go twice. We had a big room, but unfortunately a timeslot that put us up against the Trigun movie, AX Idol and several other huge events. We still got a decent turnout, but the line to ask questions was not insurmountable.
I think we might have had a bad wire or bad connector, hence the ground loop fault you heard. |

Guys, that was a great podcast. It was fun to hear it live and unfiltered. As I sat and cringed through some of the questions (or better described as a speech that eventually results in a question) I was reminded of Comic-Con coming up in a few weeks. You get the same kind of personalities, except in panels about movies or comic books, or maybe a little anime too.
Zac, hopefully you're headed to Comic-Con, it'd be great to see you roaming the exhibit hall floor.

Yes, it was the only screening. No I did not chastize my audience for being gracious enough to come and see us do the show. What's wrong with you? |

Great podcast once again. I was kinda worried for you guys when I heard it was going to be live because one never knows whats going to happen, but you managed it all really well! I hope you'll consider doing it again next year.

Poor Princess Knight Guy. Regardless, I'd love to Vertical license that manga, and I'd sign the petition to get it streaming. That is, if I could find it.
Princess Knight Guy, show me your petition so I can make you feel better! |

Another good podcast guys. I would totally sign a petition to get streaming Princess Knight. Though now I could think of some other classic shows I totally would want to see online (cough...Rose of Versailles...cough). If Vertical were to release the Princess Knight manga I'd totally buy it too.
I think with girls and shoujo (in America) there is a generational difference. I'm 30 and many of my first experience with with manga were senien titles. Senien is still probably my favorite demographic genre. I've like some josei but I haven't read enough of it to really say any more then that. I know a lot of younger girls like modern shoujo though. I like a lot of the classics but I find much of today's stuff bland and to focused on romance. I want to see cool female characters being powerful and bad-ass. That is one of the reasons I got into anime. I was tired of American cartoons with Power Princess or some crap. |

WARNING: If you're at work and you plan on listening to this, be prepared to tell your co-workers you're laughing at a new LOLCat image.
This podcast was absolutely hilarious. It's an anime roast, and it's a good one. It definitely retains one of my precious thoughts: you anime fans are freakin' weird. Really weird. But that's what makes the world go 'round. I cringed at the "What do you think of fansubs" question. I could literally hear Zac's forehead vein starting to throb (and it's not an audio problem), ready to pounce on the question. The comment about whipping it out and pissing right there was pretty funny, though. While we do have our disagreements on certain topics here on the forum, I must now confess I'd be very skeptical at approaching the booth. Not because I'm afraid of Zac, but in receiving anything related to Heat Guy J. I own the complete series. 
See you next time, leeches. |

Was the screening free? i mean, maybe if they were charging $10, then passing on it would be understandable.. But seriously, if that was the only screening then you guys should be slapping yourselves for not going D:. What were you guys thinking? |

Well, look at it from a different perspective. One, it's their job. Two, perhaps they had more fun doing the first live ANNCast than they could by watching the film? Did you listen to it yet? I'd say it was one of the best so far. Not worth giving up on that for a film you're bound to watch later... in your bedroom/living room, and without others around to annoy you.
