Anime Podcast of Some Sort: Beastars & SAC_2045. Also, the return of Slice of Life Apr 27, 2020

Jack and David review Beastars and Ghost in the Shell: SAC_205. Which one is which? Well, I didn’t use the word “respectively” for a reason. Listen and find out! They’re both on Netflix, let us know what you thought, if you’ve watched.

Plus, Jack brings an Eva ad to David that totally redeems the entire franchise for him!

LOL.

Also, in the wake of covid-19, we both have thoughts on how anime will come out of it. Listen in.

Big “thanks” to Red Bard for bringing this Eva ad to light.

Anime Podcast of Some Sort 67: Eizouken’s Hidden Tribute Mar 30, 2020

On the newest APOSS, David takes Jack’s (and pretty much everybody else) recommendation and watches Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken. What did ol’ D.j.m. think of the series starring three young girls and a dream?
Plus, you’re probably going to be mad about our opinions on Steven Universe Future’s finale, and the series as a whole. Yeah, you’re not gonna like it. We gon’ be fightin on the Internet.

Plus, what noted lefty lib SJW David Majors thinks of the new Marvel Heroes, Snowflake and Safespace.
And….virtual conventions?

The Sonic Movie Was Good! Anime...Kinda Isn't! Mar 02, 2020

Also, events in Japan revolving around anime and gaming are being canceled due to the outbreak of the Coronovirus.
And in lighter news, the upcoming spring 2020 anime season looks kinda meh.

The Fanime/ColossalCon/SacAnime Debrief and Preview Show w/ Shay Taree Jun 06, 2019

Anime Podcast Of Some Sort took a bit of a vacay. A convention vacay. Jack was at Fanime, and David was at ColossalCon. Stories! Adventure! Cosplaying! A merry old time was had by our APOSS Team at conventions across the continent! So merry, we had to call our friend Shay Taree, who was at Fanime as well.

Plus, Shay and Jack give their respective previews of SacAnime. Last year, it was D.j.m. that did a double summer convention dip, now Jack & Shay go for it.

Plus, Detective Pikachu. It’s pretty darn good.

Dating Sims Are Okay. No, seriously. May 09, 2019

We’re joined by Irina March from the Drunken Anime Blog this week on APOSS, and it is a melding of anime-related drinking games! The classic APOSS drinking game gets an upgrade, and Irina is along for the ride!

We’ve all got seasonal shows we’re into! We’re all watching anime and talking about it on a podcast! It’s an anime podcast, yaaaaay!

Plus, David and Jack scold the internet on the rubbernecking over the announcements about the Sonic the Hedgehog movie. The monkey’s paw is real!

Plus, we go around the horn with a video game pitch for a movie! David cheats and says make it a Netflix show, because Netflix is great. If you’ve got a game you’d make into another medium, let us know!

Later, Irina tells David why dating sims aren’t so bad and he stops being a judgement jerk. At least for now.

Anime Podcast of Some Sort: Steins;Gate, Gundam Streaming, and reverse adaptations Apr 11, 2019

On the newest episode, we’re joined by ANN seasonal contributor Christopher Farris.

Just what does Steins;Gate have in mind for the ten announcements to celebrate their 10th anniversary? It could literally be anything.

Chris has a take on Yu-No, a new anime from the Spring 2019 Season, and it may be slightly lewd.

Later, Jack goes Around The Horn and asks what WESTERN franchise would you like to see adapted into an anime! @ us and tell us what you think! Djm’s answer will surprise literally no one.

All that and a little nod to the celebration of the 40th anniversary of Mobile Suit Gundam.

Attack On Titan, and the Case for Anime Filler (and Alita, FINALLY!) Feb 27, 2019

Welcome to the Anime Podcast of Some Sort.

On today’s episode, we’re joined by the founder of the Damage Control Blog, Angela Moseley!

Jack was gifted an old school OVA, Detatoko Princess. Pudding is important

My Hero Academia and Attack on Titan have had their first seasons removed in the wake of the Crunchyroll/Funimation Divorce. We kinda don’t care. Who hasn’t seen them?

But Attack on Titan is in trouble, isn’t it? Maybe keeping it around may have worked. Maybe filler isn’t a terrible idea?

Plus, a new anime from Shinichiro Watanabe, and why you should watch EVERYTHING he does.

Oh, yeah. David saw Alita, and has a take. It’s kind of a big deal.

Thanks again to Angela for joining us!

On the top, Jack gives us one final push for the Playstation Vita and the Nintendo 3DS. Is the portable game console on its final legs?

Jessi tells us about a great manga deal from Humble Bundle, go get it!

All this, and the unprecedent hype and positivity for Alita Battle Angel. Do we have an actual good adaptation on our hands?

Also, Masaaki Yuasa is making his own version of Krypto The Super Dog, and Jessi is hype.

An All-New Immersive Laifu With Your Waifu Jan 30, 2019

On an all-new mostly Kingdom Hearts-free APOSS, Jack and David managed to watch anime and play video games, thanks to circumstances, timing and a little polar vortex.

Zombieland Saga has Jack’s attention and the ongoing story of Lily Hoshikawa’s transgender status is Jack’s take du jour. D.j.m. is keeping up with Egao No Daika and its hotly discussed young princess.

Detective Pikachu ALREADY has a sequeul, but Toei won’t make more Dragon Ball Super. Where is the money going, people?!?!?!

All this, and some recommendations for anime opening things you may have missed, courtesy of a good-old-fashioned anime list!

Crunchyroll announces “New Crunchy City”, an immersive experience where anime comes to life

Toei denies reports of new episodes of Dragon Ball Super being produced.

Detective Pikachu sequel announced. Yes, already.

The Anime Podcast of Some Sort is back from holiday vacation, and there’s a lot of ground to cover!
David is excited about seeing Gundam NT in theaters. A Gundam movie on the big screen. And Jack attended SacAnime Winter in Norcal.
On top of that, the Winter 2019 Anime Season has David feeling positive. 3 airing currently and one Netflix series. Yes, we do still like anime here.
Plus, Pokemon FINALLY doing something new in its anime, maybe? And Nintendo abandoning consoles?

Adulting While Animeing, Evo Japan and the End of Tumblr Dec 20, 2018

Our last episode of what has been a damn tumultuous year for the leaders of the APOSSE.

Jack and D.j.m. talk about the anime they HAVE been watching, and discuss a newfound appreciation for dubs when you can’t sit down.

The EVO Japan tournament in January’s lineup has been announced, and D.j.m. found a few ommissions to be rather puzzling.

All this, and Jack’s take on tumblr taking on adult content, which apparently was a thing.

Big thanks to Andrew Davis, host of PopAnimeComics, for joining us to talk on STACKED Anime Podcast of Some Sort

Avatar The Last Airbender (whether it’s an anime or not) is getting a live-action adaptation. It might be great. It might be awful. People are going to the movies to see more anime. Make friends! It’s fun! Popcorn! Drinks! Comfy chairs, if you’ve got the money!

Jack’s beloved Osomatsu-San is getting a dub, and he explains why he’s excited. Jack has discovered his “new Cuphead”, and it’s called Underhero. Get in before the hype machine!

Andrew & Jack love the expansion of the Overwatch League, and David gives the sports angle as to why this is great for communities and fans worldwide. (IT’S CALLED COMPETITIVE GAMING. DON’T SAY THE E WORD)

All this, plus David gets to wax poetic about the PlayStation with the advent of the Playstation Classic and further expansion of Playstation Now! Did you play Jumping Flash? Do you finally want to see the greatness that is Battle Arena Toshinden?

Jack and David take a look at the upcoming Summer Anime Season. Will Jack actually find something current that he likes? What is the out-of-comfort-zone special that D.j.m. has picked that has him gritting his teeth while recording a podcast?

Plus, Jack makes the case for the Playstation Vita (again).

Later, #OldManDjm reminds everyone that sometimes, when you’re an adult and you have to do adulating, you have to cancel your streaming services and reorganize your finances, BUT THAT DOESN’T MEAN YOU SHOULD PIRATE.

Because services like Verizon’s Go90 will die.

E3, Toonami, and Why We’re Not Sold on Cyberpunk 2077 – Anime Podcast of Some Sort Jun 19, 2018

Lots of news to cover on the newest Anime Podcast of Some Sort.

We actually liked a whole lot from E3 2018, but there was only one thing that Jack & David weren’t entirely sold on, which is obviously in the title.

Also, Pop Team Epic is premiering on Toonami. We talk about why that works, and why it’s good.

All this, and Teekyu the anime Jack watched for laughs, and Rose of Versailles the anime David watched to impress a girl.

Shout-out to Constant Cosplay for fostering the conversation on the play.

Jack attended FanimeCon 2018, and tells of cosplay stories, and video games. D.j.m. attended both Anime Central and ColossalCon and partied EXTRA hard, and discovered that he may be superhuman.

BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle has hit the public, and Djm has a quick review of the ArcSys multi-franchise fighting giant.

All this, and Jack finally has a “old man moment” as he celebrates the 10th anniversary of Soul Eater.

And actual anime was watched, mostly thanks to others reminding us that this is an anime podcast. For the Deej, a slice-of-life called Yostuiro Biyori. And Jack watched The Disastrous Life of Seiki K.

Anime Podcast of Some Sort – BlazBlue, Podcast Reset May 15, 2018

Welcome to APOSS – The Anime Podcast of Some Sort.

Your hosts, David J. Majors (aka D.j.m.) and Jack D’Allistar. We took a bit of a break to work on some outside projects, but are back together!

BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle is on the docket. How will the ArcSys multi-universe game work with so many characters from so many games? And how will the characters from RWBY fit in to a fighting universe?

Plus, Steins;Gate Zero & Aggretsuko have our attention. Djm has had many an office job and has a strong affinity for metal music.

Plus, conventions. Lots of them. Including two within a month for Djm. He explains why he’s an absolute madman.

Like the show? By all means, send us a message on deltajulietmike.com, and you are welcome to @ us on Twitter @jackdtyler & @pleasecallmedjm

Anime Podcast of Some Sort: It's OK To Like Anime Mar 15, 2018

The newest APOSS addresses the news that celebrities like anime.

Jack brings Flip Flappers, and Djm brings B: The Beginning. Each remind everyone that anime is actually good sometimes.

Also, Djm debates on what to bring to his local anime club, as his turn is next. His tastes in “grimdark” have been called out.

All this and a question as to when a person reaches their limits in regards to how much they can tolerate from a creator in the wake of the conviction of the creator of Rurouni Kenshin.

Anime Podcast of Some Sort: BlazBlue Cross Dub Battle is Victorious! Feb 23, 2018

The winter 2018 Anime Season has been a bit of a pass for APOSS, however Djm & Jack have caught a few.

In Djm’s case, Pop Team Epic, and the mighty Dragon Ball Super, which leads in to a discussion over shounen. Why it works, why it doesn’t, and why it’s just too hard sometimes.

For Jack, Kakegurui: Compulsive Gambler. Does Netflix have yet another hit on their hands?

Also, in APOSS refresh news, Djm did indeed check out a personal favorite of Jack’s, Osumatsu-san. What did he think of the sextuplets and their wacky antics?

All this, and ArcSystem Works correcting sins of the past.

Anime Podcast of Some Sort: I’d Like To Thank The Academy Jan 30, 2018

ANN writer and contributor Christopher Farris joins APOSS this time around for a number of topics.

The 2018 Oscar nominees for Best Animated Feature are questionable at best. Not one feature from Japan was nominated, and The Boss Baby was. Jack & Djm offer (sorta) opposing viewpoints.

Chris & Jack bring up the numerous issues over Doki Doki Literature Club, mental illness, and the dating sim genre of visual novels.

Of course, we’ve all been playing Dragon Ball FighterZ. Spoiler: We all enjoy it.

Plus, the story of an Evangelion Bullet Train, Osomatsu-san, and the tale of Djm getting suspended from Twitter.

Big Thanks to Chris Farris for joining us.

Anime Podcast of Some Sort: Don't Watch Devilman Crybaby At Double Speed Jan 14, 2018

Anime Podcast of Some Sort

Our first non-retrospective APOSS of 2018 welcomes the nicest guy in podcasting (that we’ve meet at least) Grant The Thief from Blade Licking Thieves!

Alongside the tokusatsu aficionado, we talk about the two big anime of the current zeitgeist, Devilman Crybaby & Pop Team Epic. And in a rare period, Djm expresses pure unbridled anime enthusiasm over one of them thanks to voice actress extraordinaire, Monica Rial and a favorite anime from his past.

Also, Otaku Coin. It’s a thang, ain’t it? About as well-received as the now-officially DEAD Anime Strike.

All this, and Jack’s triumphant adventures at Sac Anime Winter in California.

Show Notes

Why Some Fans Watch Anime at Double Speed
Anime Strike is Dead, and was almost certainly a mistake.
Otaku Coin, the cryptocurrence from Tokyo Otaku Mode.
Programming Note: The cosplay artist Jack mentioned was more than a little difficult to find. “tyskcuhs” is the name.

The trailer for Alita: Battle Angel is finally out, and we finally see James Cameron & Robert Rodriguez long-awaited vision. Sci-fi fan Djm takes a look from all angles.

Jack has finally joined the seasonal anime brigade, and has two more updates, along with the regular APOSS Inuyashiki conversation. Hiro, you sick twisted psychopath. Nothing you do is okay.

Later, Djm fell into a hole known as Twitch IRL, and breaks down the streaming giant’s controversy, including the much-discussed “tittystreamers”.

All this and why 2018 may match 2017 for fighting games.

Anime Podcast of Some Sort: Hire Lisa Wallen. Have Faith in Mario. Survive Marble Zone Nov 27, 2017

APOSS is joined by comedian, HunterXHunter evangelist, and owner of cool Zelda tattoos, Lisa Wallen! So what better topic to have an actual funny person discuss than the arrest of Rurouni Kenshin creator Nobuhiro Watsuki? Yeah, we went there. It IS news, guys. Along with that, Jack is hype for an upcoming Dangan Ropa, but is struggling (mightily) with the previously mentioned Sonic The Hedgehog playthrough, much to Djm’s chagrin.

All this and why the possibility of a new Super Mario Bros movie may not be so bad. Plus, if you want Jack to suffer, there is a game for it, and if you commit to it, Djm has a penance of his own, and you know you want David to suffer, right?

It’s In Season – Fall 2017 (Evil or Live, Kino’s Journey, King’s Game) Act 3 Nov 25, 2017

Episodes 5 and 6 of our three fall anime all come out with some good and some things to work on.

Kino’s Journey puts a clear picture on how the main character appeals to audiences. Is Kino a character or an avatar for the viewer?

Evil or Live quickens its pace. Shin has a point to keep an eye on, and a few new characters catch Cody’s eye.

King’s Game redeems Ria, much to our delight, and the revelation of what the game actually is comes to fruition.

Anime Podcast of Some Sort: Cuphead is OK. Inuyashiki is OK. Fighting Games Are Insane Nov 15, 2017

A piece from Yussef Cole on the animation style in Cuphead and its connection to the racial stereotypes of the 1930s animation gets our attention. Jack, noted Cuphead fan. Djm, noted non-white person. We discuss.

Later, Jack & Djm are both enjoying Inuyashiki, Osomatsu-san is back, and Gundam is in stores…including one that wasn’t so well-received. Can Djm make a case for Gundam AGE? And does he really have a Gundam flow-chart?

And every fighting game is M.U.G.E.N, and everyone is okay with it.

Show Notes:

We’ve reached episode’s 3 and 4 of the three shows we’re reviewing for the fall—Kino’s Journey, King’s Game & Evil or Live.

Djm recalls a time where anime viewing had a rule of four episodes before making a final decision, and did it ever come into play on this podcast. Which anime redeemed itself? Which one needs to pick up the pace for both Shay and Djm?

All this, and extra helpings of backstory on the newest It’s In Season.

Is this an extra-spoopy episode of APOSS? Possibly.

Hayao Miyazaki has announced the name of his movie, and Jack & Djm finally open up on their less-than-warm feelings about the famed director.

Also, stories from travels. Jack in San Francisco (complete with cosplay) and Djm in Chicago (with cosplay, but not mentioned much). Plus, Djm’s hometown convention, Youmacon is coming up!

Later, in the spirit of fall and all things scary, Jack brings up things in media that stuck with you as a kid and left you with scary memories. Djm shares his own as well.

It's In Season Anime Podcast: Fall 2017 Anime Season Debate & Decision Oct 08, 2017

It’s In Season Podcast, Fall 2017

Thanks for listening to It’s In Season, the youngest of the Delta Juliet Mike Podcasts.

It’s In Season is an anime review podcast in which Shay Taree, Cody, and Djm pick shows from the current airing anime season and review them a few episodes a time with each podcast.

Past seasons, we’ve normally chosen two shows per season, but it’s time for a change. The Fall 2017 Anime Season ended up having so many shows we all agreed on, we’re expanding to three!

Which shows did we decide on? Which shows will be reviewing after our debate and decision? There is even one show that caused Djm to cave into the mighty Anime Strike! Tune in and find out. And feel free to chime on in what shows you’re watching this season as well.

Anime Podcast of Some Sort: Neo Yokio: It Ain't That Deep Sep 25, 2017

The Big Story – Neo Yokio

So, Neo Yokio. The Netflix animated original starring Jaden Smith as Kaz Kaan, demon-hunting socialite and 2nd Most Eligible Bachelor. Now, we’re not saying Jack may have been dealing with food poisoning. And we’re not saying Djm had a migraine that lasted for nearly a week. And we’re not saying Neo Yokio had anything to do with those. We’re just sayin’.

Jack, Djm and Kevo dive deeply into the series everyone is talking about and whether they hated or loved it. Is it an allegory for leftism? Is this a self-aware parody on the part of noted Twitter artist Jaden Smith? Did Neo Yokio come from tumblr-and-deviantart-fueled fever dream? Do Desus & Mero have a future in voice acting?

All this, and referendums, rants and special comments galore on the episode of Anime Podcast of Some Sort that soldiered on ’til the end. The bitter, bitter end.

Big thanks again to Kevo from Anime Maru for joining us!

Jack & Djm, old school style.

Conversations about the shows we’re watching, and a little taste of what to look forward to after Jack decided to take the first dive and watch the Death Note Netflix series.

Our Dandelion-headed friend also attended SacAnime, and had a few interesting encounters with guests.

Djm is actually watching anime, including one he may not be too proud of admitting that he enjoyed.

Later, Jack is excited for Cuphead, David still loves Sonic Mania, and we have a message for everyone that thinks video game journalists should be absolved for being terrible at games.

Welcome to the Anime Podcast of Some Sort. Welcome back to some of you. David, Djm & Jack D are back after David’s no-longer-calling-it-retirement from podcasting.

Jack took an old recommendation from Djm and ran with it and has an update, and the Deej has the convention story of convention stories.

Funimation has turned the clock back to the early 2000s to when everyone hated them for their dubbing decisions, thanks to the simuldub of Miss Kobyashi’s Dragon Maid.

Jack has discovered Non Non Biyori, inexplicably getting some buzz. What even is this show?

Also, Crunchyroll is going to the movies!

All this, and just why Sword Art Online is so polarizing, in the wake of the announcement of a 3^rd season.

Later, Djm brings back a favorite from It’s In Season of 2015, God-Eater. The show was notable for having to stop temporarily during its run last fall, but finishing in the spring. Was it worth the wait? And how did Jack feel about the God-Eater Vita game?

Pokemon XYZ, or Ash Ketchum is STILL a loser! Aug 23, 2016

Quite a few hot topics this week, and David & Jack dive right in. Doesn’t Jack sound great? THANK YOU PATRONS!

Final Fantasy XV got delayed by 2 months, and people are generally okay with it. Sausage Party has some question to answer, because people aren’t happy with it.

All this, and an explosion of disconent towards the vaunted Pokemon anime. Ash Ketchum’s finish in the Kalos League did not meet people’s expectations. David & Jack talk about why people were upset, and cover all sides of the debate of what always stops the anime from giving Ash his big moment after nearly 20 years.

TOPICS:
Final Fantasy XV delayed 2 months. Not a lot of people are actually that upset.

Shay joins the A-posse to talk about all sorts of anime things under the sun!
Jack has discovered Steins;Gate via visual novel, while Shay & Djm make comparisons with the anime, and how much we all love saying the main character’s name with his mannerisms. There’s a 90s nostalgia grip, thanks to Sega & Nintendo, and old man Djm is nearly in tears thanks to his ol’ blue buddy, Sonic the Hedgehog.
Later, Jack gives his take one One Piece being 65 percent complete…which leads to Shay triggering Djm’s rage.
All this and a couple of updates on some shows we’ve talked about being a little TOO quiet, but are apparently beginning to open up. You’re welcome, shounen fans. APOSS <3 you.

Today on APOSS, Djm is joined by his brother-in-podcasting-arms, Colton Solem!
The gents talk about the biggest anime properties of them all to start off with and point out how the Silver Age is real and the quest to give the filthy casual a gateway into the wonderful anime world is ever stronger.
One Punch Man is coming to Toonami, Dragon Ball Super’s manga is easily accessible thanks to Viz (along with many others for free), and Bleach is finally ending. Colton tells us just how long some of his favorite shows have been a part of his life, while Djm struggles with coming to grips with old age. And yes, Virginia. Attack on Titan’s second season is coming.
Later in the podcast, we talk about Crunchyroll’s big announcements coming out Anime Expo. The former not-so-legit hub has gone all the way in with video distribution, with an all-star line-up of upcoming DVD and Blu-Ray releases. One show in particular, is Gintama, Colton’s pride and joy.

Anime Podcast of Some Sort – Dragon Ball Super—Oversight or Overdone? – Delta Juliet Mike Media Jun 29, 2016

On this episode, David Majors has made an observation that no one seems to be talking about.
Why hasn’t Funimation said anything about Dragon Ball Super? Is it just us? Is Toei having a hissy fit? Ain’t this a license to print money for everybody?
This leads Jack & Djm to lament over the fading opportunities for new and original IPs and material, even in Japan! Because now, we have Sadako vs. Kayako, starring the two characters from The Grudge & The Ring (or Ringu, you pedantic sons-a….please subscribe!). There is no money in being new and creative. There is all of the money in making what has already been successful again.
Jack introduces a Vita game that is also on the PS4! Bet you we got your attention now, huh? Yes. Jack tells us about Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir.
Later, the leaders of the APOSSE introduce each other to two more shows. Djm’s curiosity about Mr. Osumatsu prompts Jack to give a rundown, while the Deej throws My Hero Academia back at Jack.
All this, and stories of the anime conventions that were (Fanime)…and were not (ColossalCon).

Anime Podcast of Some Sort: Cabernet of the Iron Fortress – Delta Juliet Mike Media May 24, 2016

Welcome to APOSS!
This episode, Jack & Djm are joined by Josh Dunham, host of Senpai Coast to Coast and founder of the Wave Motion Cannon blog. He says he takes anime waaaay too seriously, but he knows what he’s talking about, so Djm can have someone else other than Jack to lean on this episode!
After running through the news (including one upcoming premiere that David is particularly excited for), Jack, Josh and David discuss the streaming of Satoshi Kon’s Millenium Actress and his ongoing influence as a director.
Jack gives us an update on the next Ace Attorney game and his ever-evolving thoughts on the anime.
Later in the show, Josh finally explains what he doesn’t like about one of this current anime season’s more popular shows, Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress.
All this and a little Japaneezy-Weezy.

Two Nerdy Black Guys: 100 Episodes! Then. And Now – Delta Juliet Mike Media Apr 08, 2016

A milestone in podcasting. 100 episodes.
The two nerdy black guys have been shooting the shit with one another and a few others for long enough to officially produce and release 100 episodes.
On this occasion, we decided to invite a couple of guests on. One that has known us from the podcast’s inception, Swaggy P, Patrick Swagger. And we finally answer the question of why we never invited him on the podcast as a guest until now.
Also, on the show, a man that needs no introduction, Patrick Kohn best known as TimeJumper319. Djm personally invited him on to get an insight into his beliefs behind why he contributes to various creators through patreon. Who he picks, why he sees patreon as important as it is, and why the hell did he jump on the Delta Juliet Mike train.
All this, and after all of these years, David Majors and Brandon Cooper (Djm & kingkaz) have really not changed at all.
Thank you for listening, and enjoy.
If you want to be as gracious and as wonderful as Mr. Kohn & Swagger, check out patreon.com/deltajulietmike.
And follow them both on Twitter @TimeJumper319 and @TheSwagger

Anime Podcast of Some Sort: Keep It Legit. It’s Easier Now! – Delta Juliet Mike Media Apr 05, 2016

This week, Colton Solem of Life Lessons, Manga Mavericks & The Manga Corner joins the Aposs-y while Jack is out on assignment.
After a few recording mishaps in the pre-show we get things under way (thanks to crunchyroll, daisuke, hulu, and most recently Funimation Now), and talk about how anime streaming is so prevalent, and why that’s a great thing, as opposed to the days of fansubbing and fan-lations.
Also, Colton runs down the Spring 2016 anime season and what shows he’s looking into. Can he sell David on a future potential pick for It’s In Season (also at deltajulietmike.com)
All this, and opinions on HunterXHunter & FLCL coming to Toonami. D.j.m. welcomes your tweets and letters. @JustCallMeDjm & djm AT deltajulietmike dot com.
