After checking in with the usual we jump right in with the news coming straight out of Otakon two weekends ago. Aside from the big time attendance numbers the real showing was from Crunchyroll who announced a continuation with Gonzo and ADV along with a new deal with Media Blasters. A streaming success. Bandai bringing .hack//G.U over from Japan for those of us too lazy to play the Playstation 2 games. ADV with an underwhelming announcement with one anime license and several live action licenses. We end our coverage with some finer points of Funimation’s panel showing they’ve gone from hated door stop to fan favorite in 6-7 short years.

After a break, we put some time to a topic we brought up last week. Filler! What’s your gripe with anime’s way of keeping you constantly entertained while they make more relevant episodes. Check out what we thought was the worst parts and how it could be better for us.

We talk a bit about Black Lagoon and its release this week… plus a few other releases. And we end with a review of Azumanga Daioh. In all this time we haven’t reviewed this fan favorite. Check out what we thought.
