The Podcast That Loves Anime
Dwayne Moloney joins Anthony and Brian to play a game of Anime Baldy Poker. Somehow we get a lot of mileage out talking bald cartoon characters despite not really having a enough people to properly play this game or talking about all the bald guys we had on our lists.
Plus, another bald guy is our Weekly Retro Recap, the completely hair free (except when he has an Afro), Sergeant Frog. So grit your ears and get ready for your weekly dose of DITB!

Anthony and Brian are joined this week by Ebbie and Niall for a game of ANIME FATTY POKER. Each has selected a team of fat anime characters to represent them in a duel of the corpulent cartoons. Who will win? Find out on a big boned episode of DITB!
Oh, and Genshiken is still our Weekly Retro Recap.

List podcasts! We’ve all heard them, and some of us have even recorded them. But taking our cue from the cruelly shuttered Treehouse, we are now adding the spice of competition to our list shows, beginning with Villains. Brian, Anthony and guests Bradley C Meek and Elliot Page have each created a list of anime villains and will battle it out to see whose list is the most diabolical.
Plus, WATCHUWATCH is introduced with an especially strained pun and our Weekly Retro Recap is episode 1 of Beck Mongolian Chop Squad.

Bradley C. Meek and Dwayne Moloney join us to ostensibly talk about the 2012 One Piece movie, Film Z. However, Anthony has lots of questions about One Piece, and so it ends up more of a general One Piece discussion.
Plus all the usual features: WATCHUWATCH, Major Episode 2 is our Weekly Retro Recap and a game! This week it’s ANIME ALPHABET.
NB: There’s a few connection problems with Bradley late in the episode due to his housemate watching things on Netflix, but they are mostly confined to the game section.

Here it is, our second XMAS SPECTACULAR~!
Debbie Crisp and Gary Hedges join us to once again review Xmas musical fare from the world of anime (and tokusatsu). And then we all assemble around the old Joanna for a festive sing song.
All this plus the usual stations of UK anime releases and WATCHUWATCH.
00:17:00 – Xmas Anison Armageddon
00:59:00 – Xmas Karaoke
Check our facebook page for full versions of the songs.
No episode next week, but will be back in the New Year with our run down of all that was good in 2012, so see you there.
Marill Christmas Everyone!

Today we continue our look at Mamoru Hosoda’s cinematic output, with special guests Niall Flanagan and Aaron Long. Following Digimon, the next movie should have been Howl’s Moving Castle, but instead we got the sixth One Piece movie, Baron Omatsuri and the Secret Island. Which may or may not be sort of about the process of failing to make Howl’s Moving Castle. Whatever it is, it’s still a great film!
All this and a rousing game of Play Your Long Running Shonen Franchises Right!

It’s here, DYNAMITEINTHEBRAIN.COM
So tell all the boys and girls. Your brother and your sister and your mamma too.
And then get mad that Google autocompletes “word up lyrics” as “word up lyrics korn” before it does “word up lyrics cameo”. I ask you, what’s the world coming to?
Well it’s come to this – Anthony and myself running down our top five anime shows of 2011. What will win? What will have been forgotten? Will we mention Madoka Magica at all?
SPOILER ALERT: NO
Then, not satisfied with that, we pick what shows look good to us in 2012. HINT: Spherical cats and swordsmen feature.
All this and the revelation of what anime character Anthony most identifies with!

Ho! Ho! Ho! or should that be Moe! Moe! Moe!?
No. Because that’s not a sad girl in the snow, it’s Leon Everett, here to join us and review anime related Xmas songs. And then test his mettle and anime knowledge against Anthony in Brian’s Awesome Anime Quiz.

If you like swearing this episode is for you. We are really earning the explicit tag on iTunes this time round with the final segment of this episode. Otherwise it’s just a casual chat about recent anime. So beware of spoilers (though I think we generally brush over anything too significant outside of the last segment).
And as we cover a lot of stuff, time codes!
