ANNCast
Debinitely, Maybe

by Zac Bertschy & Justin Sevakis,

ANNCast Episode 016 - Debinitely, Maybe

Get the Flash Player to see this player.






So both of my usual cohosts are out of town - Justin's recovering from Singapore, and Bamboo's on her way out for the holiday, but I still wanted to have an ANNCast for you, so here you go!

First segment I've got Justin remote from Singapore to chat about his experiences attending the big anime con and eating, eating, eating. Then Bradley C. Meek (twitter) from themanime.org and anime3000.com shows up to chat about some of the anime he's been watching and then it's super awesome Macross 7 time!!

Then Deb Aoki, (twitter) resident writer of the Manga Guide at manga.about.com, shows up to school me on the ins and outs of expanded manga coverage. We talk about the fundamental differences between writing about anime and writing about manga, the connection you get with the artist in manga vs. the toned-down artwork in most anime series, and then it's Twitter time!

I apologize in advance for the janky audio in Deb's segment - we were having weird Skype issues. Sorry about that, it's listenable though, I think.

Next week we'll be back to normal. Huzzah!

NSFW Language Warning: Almost no swearing this time! Okay, a little. But almost none.
