Throwdown Show

On this episode of Otanime, we go in-depth with our two anime series of the month: Fooly Cooly and Eden of the East. As always, we bookend the episode with the anime we’ve been watching and the anime we plan on watching.

Next month we’re spotlighting the Trigun series and its movie, Badlands Rumble. If you want to join in on the conversation about the series and the movie, make sure to watch them before the next episode which will go up at the end of October.

This episode features: Tony Polanco (host), Emilio Lopez, Chris Sealy, Michael Crawford, LeRay Williams, and Carlos Romero.

Intro & Outro music: 8 Man After.

What do Titanfall, Evolve, Star Wars: Battlefront, Call of Duty: Black Ops III on last-gen systems, and Rainbow Six: Siege all have in common? None of them feature a traditional single player mode. Why has this become a trend despite the outcry from the public? We examine this in our featured topic.

We also give our impressions of the recently released PlayStation 4 3.00 firmware update, and talk about the complete disaster that is Tony Hawk 5.

It's that time of year again where the gaming world's eyes look eastward to the Land of the Rising Sun. That's right, the Tokyo Game Show is here and is giving us a taste of what we can expect to see from many Japanese gaming companies, as well as Western ones in the future.

Unlike previous years, this year's TGS showcased many top quality titles that many from all over the world will soon be able to enjoy. We discuss all of what we've seen so far, what games excited us the most, and what we think this TGS means for the Japanese gaming industry as a whole.

Even though TGS has dominated the gaming landscape this week, we discuss some other news items such as: the latest controversy surrounding Mighty No. 9, Tatsumi Kimishima taking over as Nintendo's President, how the Xbox One Experience Preview Program is causing all sorts of problems for users, and the interesting meta-game that players of Metal Gear Solid V are engaging in.

This episode features: Tony Polanco (host), Emilio Lopez, Chris Sealy, and special guest, Michael Crawford.
