Review:

Dispite the fact that we were going to avoid this… Chris reviewed the first disk of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. Chris gave the simply stunning visuals and non-embarassing dub highlights as a part of his review. While finding the music track a tad bland, his biggest problem with this series was the absolutely zany plot(or lack there of) that this series portrays. If you’re looking for a nice brainless comedy to enjoy feel free to add this to your shelf. For those looking for something deeper, even for a comedy just rent it or borrow it from a friend. We gave this over hyped sensation a close 8/10 for impressive visual quality and the ability to make you laugh without having to think too much.

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.
