Review:
We started part three of a four part series of reviews called First Impressions, which reviews an anime series based on its first episode. We took a look at Solty Rei this week. Gaining a 8.5 out of 10. Take a listen for our indepth coverage of the first episode and at our written post for this week under the show notes.
Extra Drop:
As you may or may not know our panel are avid fans of the World of Warcraft. When we’re not checking out the latest in anime, we’re usually tearing it up in Azeroth and Outland. For the horde! But glancing through YouTube, we found an interesting search when we were checking out cosplay. We found some Leeroy Jenkins cosplay. Complete with name, guild tag and sound bites! Check it out, he even lays down some phat techno beats.
Remember, we love emails, message board posts, comments. Send your email to animeshaft@gmail.com. Any email messages(we’ll read ‘em), audio files(we’ll play ‘em) or other questions.
If you’re talking about SHAFT then you can digg it.
Special Thanks to all of our listeners and behind the scenes contributers who make this podcast possible.
Extra special thanks to 132 Productions for hosting this episode of Super Happy Anime Fun Time.
