Main Topic:

We sat down and talked about anime clubs and how they are viewed by everyone. We talked about how anime clubs are more seriously taken and abundant in Japan compared to the US. As brief as it was, we took a jump into what we thought an anime club could be for a potential club member or organizer.

As always any feed back for our main topics can be sent to animeshaft@gmail.com and we’d be happy to read them off on the air in response.

Releases:

Anime:

Fate/Stay Night (Vol. 5)
School Rumble (Vol. 1)
Big O II (Box)

Manga:

Fullmetal Alchemist (Vol. 14)

Review:

Gene and Chris took a look at Genshiken. This wonderful out of the box, anime about otaku and the clubs that they have really took us by storm. The art style was quite unique and impressive voice acting really was enjoyable. The story was fairly nice and somewhat original, while there could have been more we found points we really could be bored with. As for music, not really existent. We gave this a nice 9/10.

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.
