Plus the usual UK anime releases, WATCHUWATCH, the Weekly Retro Recap featuring Airmaster episode 2 and a game we like to call FINAL SCORE.

Episode 77 – Emergency Podcast

ditb077

A last minute scheduling clash meant we were left guest-less and couldn’t do the planned topic. So we put a call out on twitter and Facebook for question and topics and you, the listener, came through for us. So episode 77 includes discussion of diverse topics like Ghost In The Shell Arise, Cats, Moomins, kigurumi, embarrassing moments and much, much more.

Episode 76 – JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure

ditb076

It’s a podclash as we are joined by Secret of the Sailor Madness (aka Niall Flanagan and Dwayne Moloney) to talk about the first nine episodes of 2012’s JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure television adaptation, the arc known as PHANTOM BLOOD. And for the spoiler adverse, we arguably spoil most of those episodes, so there you go.

Plus all the regular stations, namely UK Anime Releases, WATCHUWATCH and WEEKLY RETRO RECAP, which this week is episode one of Please Twins.  To wrap things up we play a round of the popular game, JOJO or NONO.

Episode 75 – Gag Manga Biyori 2

ditb075

Well this isn’t quite the episode we intended it be, as we both managed to botch something. Nevertheless it is still AN episode of Dynamite In The Brain.

As a follow up to our fourth episode (!) we talk about the first seven twelfths of the second season of Gag Manga Biyori and the Jump Festa OAV that acted as a pilot for the ongoing series. In far more detail than you could possibly want.

Plus, the usual round of UK anime releases for the coming week and the DEBUT of our new feature the WEEKLY RETRO RECAP. Or possibly WEEKLY RETRO REVIEW depending of if we can remember it’s name on a weekly basis. It’s our replacement for dedicated reviews of entire TV shows from ten years ago. First up is episode 1 of .hack//Legend of the Twilight, will it be back next week or will it have been replaced?

Find out on today’s flu-ridden episode of the show the lazy call DITB!

Episode 74 – A Look Back At 2012

ditb074

Hello and Happy New Year. This is our 2012 in review episode with guest Bradley C Meek. We recorded this early in December, so it is entirely possible that some things we say now look foolish. I guarantee that some things we said looked foolish then. There’s also probably some things I meant to edit out at the time, but I can’t remember what they are, so they are definitely still in there.

All I know for sure is that my backing the JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure anime in this podcast was totally proved right by episode 10 containing the greatest scene in television history.

Plus we play another game of “When Did People Give A Damn About…” that we forgot to play in episode 72, making this probably the biggest episode of DITB ever~!

Enjoy, and we’ll see you next week for the first episode of DITB 2013 proper and our all new feature THE WEEKLY RETRO REVIEW…

Episode 72 – Winter Preview

ditb072

Bradley C. Meek joins us to look forward to next years new anime shows. Warning: there might occasionally be references to events in next week’s episode. This is because we are power ESPers and definitely not because we recorded our December episodes out of synch.

Here is the Idolmaster video I mention on the show.

Episode 70 – Azumanga Daioh

We get back in the DITB time tunnel and set the co-ordinates for 2002. Only this time Anthony has left Brian on his own as he’s too busy playing videogames to talk about this adaptation of Kiyohiko Azuma’s manga. Or a least that’s his excuse, possibly he thought AZUMANGA DAIOH was too “girly” for his tastes.

Never fear, for we have the inimitable GRACE CHAN as our co-pilot on this week’s exciting trip back to the anime of the recent past. Plus: Boy bands! Mountains! Twitter suggested topics! All this and more on Episode 70 of Dynamite In The Brain.

NOTES:

Here’s the comparison image we discuss on the episode:

And here’s the “In The Midnight Hour She Cried Moe, Moe, Moe” post that is mentioned.
