Another opportunity to get out of the basement and into the theater, how lucky! This week the Anibros caught the showing of Short Peace, a new compilation movie by Otomo Katsuhiro and featuring an all-star cast of anime creators. The theme is of Japan, by Japan, and for Japan, but can it be for us too? Listen and find out!

The Blu-ray won’t be out for a couple months, so unless you’re as cool as us you can’t even see this movie yet! Feel free to hang on our every word, we don’t mind.

Shout out to the Banzai Beat for sending us a gift! The unboxing video is below:

Anibros return to banter about Japanese anime in a brotherly fashion! The main topic of discussion is the movie The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, a modern classic. Required watching- or is it? We get right to the bottom of it, because time waits for no one.

Thanks again for listening, we hope you enjoy the show!

What’s up? It’s been a long time since we last rapped at you, hope you didn’t miss us too much! This time on the anime hour of power we talk about all the shows we’ve been enjoying, plus some that we haven’t. Eventually Laven and Willis give their review of Mobile Police Patlabor.

This is the episode you’ve all been waiting for (technically speaking)!

Just as the snow melts and the plants bloom once again, one season of anime ends and another begins. What was great? What was terrible? What was worth watching? What was a waste of time? The Anibros are here to provide a guiding light so that you don’t lose your way.

We also take a peek at which airing shows we’re looking forward to this Spring. Let us know if you run across something good.

Turns out we had a previously silent majority that vehemently dislikes the Riffcast format, so that plan has been nixed. Thanks for your feedback! Besides, it takes a lot longer to upload a video file than an audio file on dial-up.

ANYWAY to round everything out the crew watched and reviewed the first episode of Saki, a show about cute girls playing mahjong. Just how much drama can be squeezed out of these simple tiles?

Hit us up if you want to play a match, I’ve been devising an autumn-flavored north wind two-headed dragon orchid strategy that I want to test out.
