Episode 177 – Cutie Honey : Live Action

It’s a round up of all remaining Cutie Honies this week on DITB as we watch the live action Cutie Honey film from director Hideaki Anno and in the Just Enough To Bluff segment we check in on New Cutie Honey, Cutie Honey Flash and Cutie Honey The Live. Which probably means we are due another Cutie Honey any minute now.

And we round things up with a quick resurrection of our old feature WATCHUWATCH. Which is surprisingly Cutie Honey free!

Episode 175 – The Anime ‘n’ Wrestling Connection (Part 1)

Six weeks late, but just in time for Wrestlemania, we are finally releasing our first Wrestling and Anime podcast. With special guest Bradley Meek from the Anime Now podcast.

Our theme is loosely New Japan Pro Wrestling, and it’s one that works itself very loose as we start with this week’s Just Enough To Bluff topic, 1969’s Tiger Mask and work our way to the barely wrestling related Love Live. With stops along the way for a Go Nagai bio-armour show, a gag episode of a long running anime series and the thing that pays NJPW owner Bushiroad’s bills – card games! Plus we watch some related wrestling matches and of course, play a game.

Part 2 to follow later this year, as we look at Kinnikuman and more!

Joining us today in the soothsayer’s booth are Bradley C. Meek from The Anime Now podcast and Niall Flanagan from Secret of the Sailor Madness.
