Another small update...

wwong — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 04:08:00 +0000

Hey everyone. I've been getting quite a few e-mails this week asking if we'll be at Otakon next weekend. With the way gas prices are and the ridiculous cost for hotels in Baltimore, I'm afraid we won't be making it this year. However if your going to be at the Providence Anime Conference in October we'll be there. If you haven't heard of PAC it's the first ever 21 and over anime convention. This is pretty intriguing to us, so if your planning on going drop me an e-mail and maybe we can meet up for a beer or three. » Read More »»

Still alive.

wwong — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 02:03:00 +0000

Hey all. Just wanted to post a quick update and let you know that I'm still alive. Been pretty busy these last couple months. Went on vacation, went to a con, and have just been generally busy with life stuff.

Look forward to a new episode soon though detailing our excellent time at Anime Punch this past April in Columbus, Ohio. Some of you long time listeners may remember that we attended this con back in 2006, but skipped 2007 since we were saving up for our trip to Japan. 2006 rocked, and 2008 was even better. This may very be the best anime convention around. Seriously. We'll tell you all about it real soon.

In the "welcome to 8 years ago" category, I started myself a blog. There will be some anime and Japanese content, but for the most part it will be an outlet of sorts. So if your going through withdrawal, surf on over to schnuth.com. » Read More »»

WARP Vidcast #2: Look At My Eva!

wwong — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 20:00:00 +0000

Here is another attempt at me doing a video cast. I think it actually turned out pretty decent, but you be the judge. I take you on a tour of the Evangelion Memorial Theater laserdisc boxset. The Japanese have a knack for putting out insane (and insanely priced) collector's sets, and this one is no exception.

Episode 69 - Let's Mailbag!

wwong — Sat, 01 Mar 2008 23:30:00 +0000

This episode I do what most lazy unprepared podcasters do, read your e-mail! I've been playing a lot of voicemail lately and have been neglecting all your great e-mail, so we start correcting that in this episode. I also take a look at some news including the upcoming live-action Akira movie, and some strange individuals in Japan. Don't forget to keep those e-mails and voicemails coming in, I always love to hear from you. The voicemail number is 206-339-9277 in case you forgot. » Read More »»

Episode 68 - GameCenter CX

wwong — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 08:39:00 +0000

This episode I take a look at the awesome Japanese reality video game show, Game Center CX. Even though it's not anime I still highly recommend it. Highly entertaining, even if your not a fan of old Nintendo games. But everyone loves old Nintendo games right? I also talk about the state of the podcast, some anime news, and of course your voicemail. Don't forget to call those in at 206-339-9277! » Read More »»

Bronchitis is not fun.

wwong — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 01:34:00 +0000

Really it isn't. I don't recommend getting bronchitis at all. But unfortunately it's what happened to me last week. I was hoping to get a podcast up this week, but that may not happen. I'm pretty much better now but I still have some coughing going on. You really don't want to listen to me cough my head off since that doesn't make for good podcasting. So there might not be a show this week. Just wanted to let you know I haven't fallen off the face of the Earth again. :) » Read More »»

Episode 67 - Wings Of Honneamise

wwong — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 19:34:00 +0000

This week I review the awesome classic anime film Royal Space Force: Wings Of Honneamise. It's a fantastic film, but it's too bad that Bandai Visual is charging an arm and a leg for the DVD. I also look at some otaku news, and catch up on e-mails and voicemails. Don't forget to leave a voicemail at 206-339-9277 and get on the podcast. See you next time! » Read More »»
