Review:

Gene reviewed Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children, kinda vaugely. It fits our format as it is standalone from an anime series and is the only movie of its kind. The stunning CG visuals and nice story really round it out. The requirement of clearing through the Playstation Final Fantasy 7 kinda shuns people away as does the odd dubbing. We gave it a nice 9 out of 10 nonetheless.

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.
