Sci-Fi Malady

What can be said about this show? Other than utterly fantastic, not much else.

Hey there Otaku and Weebooo sickies! For our first anime, we are promoting an audio American anime with Raving Lunatic’s own, Zodiac Task Force. What is audio American anime? Listen to find out.

Here it is you Otaku, we are finally doing a month dedicated to just anime. We’ll be covering some sci-fi anime classics with special guest, our editor and chief, Sara. Oh, and some guy named Ruk is popping in. I guess he knows a lot about anime or some such. We’ll give him a listen loo.

From out of nowhere, we got another Matrix film. What’s that, you weren’t expecting it? Neither was Lana Wachowski and by the looks of it, nor was it desired. That’s perhaps the biggest heart problem of this film. It’s clear Lana couldn’t be bothered to write the best, so why should you be bothered to watch. Lucky for you and thanks to us, you don’t have to.

How could it have gone so wrong? The Matrix was revolutionary and amazing! It was a film that was worthy of the highest sci-fi accolades. However, the sequels spiral happened immediately. Tune in to hear some reasons as to why The Matrix went from glorious to garbage.

What do you get when you combine the Matrix and anime, the matrime? Wait, that seems wrong. What about anime and Matrix? Anim… Whatever, just listen to Rage review this.

The Matrix was a groundbreaking film which combined a new concept with groundbreaking sci-fi action effects. As great as this idea is, it is also a heartbreaking example of what can happen when, for whatever reason, a brilliant concept is rushed and not fully fleshed out. In the meantime, let’s enjoy the ride as we review The Matrix, the good one.

Can you believe we’ve taken this long to talk about the Matrix? Between the new film coming out recently, and the fact that we just took the red pill, it should come as no surprise. So buckle up Dorothy, cause all this month, Kansas is goin’ bye bye.

We conclude First Contact February with The Day the Earth Stood Still from 1951. This classic is a warning to us which rings true today just as much as it did back then.

Today’s symptom could just as easily be called “Theology Malady,” as this film discusses religion as much as it does sci-fi. It also is the accidental inauguration of Ragemaster’s Soapbox; a segment which may or may not continue. Tune in sickies!
