Its the episode you’ve been waiting for. The seriously awesome fansub based episode you’ve been waiting for. But make your voice HEARD!

Call in! Write it! Post on the forums! I know the community is really chatty on the topic so lets get your voice on the air and let us know what you think!

This week, we’re going to be also putting up the latest in anime news, new AMV Alert!, new Turning Japanese, and more as per usual!

Last Week on The Blog:

Review: Girls High
AMV Alert!: Burst Angel
Turning Japanese: Darth Vader vs. Japan
Dear SHAFT,
New Fullmetal Alchemist?!

Podcast Episode #78:

Bane of all anime, the inevitable way of keeping you from watching reruns.. FILLER!!

Do you care for filler in anime? Is it good, is it bad? What do you think of filler? Email or call the show and we’ll share what you think.

Also drop by for SHAFT live(right here on the blog!), 7PM Eastern! We’ll be taking some filler thoughts from the live chat room as well.

From the Blog:

This week Gene is cooking up some big blog content with a fresh new Behind the Otaku Curtain and a review of Girls High.

Chris is bringing home a new Turning Japanese.

And your usual favorites AMV Alert will round us out!

Need some more balls in the bath?
Well this ball not only adds just that problem but also displays the galaxy or if you flip it around it projects images of roses into the tub.

We want to have a show next week. We really, really, really do. However, Chris is going to be out of town. So we have some ideas on how to make it happen…

1) Gene and Angelo do a normal show without the mixer or awesome mics we usually use.

2) We prerecord a show earlier in the week devoid of any news thats going on(which probably there will be none). We would more then likely throw in release spotlight and two or three recommendation reviews.

3) We do a show with stuff sent in by the ever popular SHAFT community. Emails, voicemails, segments and/or anything you would like to send in to the program. It’d be a show that revolves around our awesome listeners!

So, let me know what you think. I think 3 would be amazingly cool. 2 would be good too if you don’t mind a rambling review show. 1 is a cop out… we’d do it but probably not as well without the cool equipment.

If I get enough material from everyone, 3 would be the choice we go with.

Comment Thread

This week there will be a new episode of SHAFT. And we’re back with an awesome topic. Top anime weapons. What weapons can you only find in anime? What weapons are made better through anime? And what weapons do you just like out of anime?

Let us know what you think, email the show animeshaft@gmail.com, call in 203-599-GEEK or oobedoob_benubi(through Skype) or post up in the forums!

Don’t forget to come back to the website at 7PM Eastern for the LIVE show and chat room! Its going to be epic!

Due to situations beyond our control, there will be no episode of SHAFT for this week. Thank you for your understanding.

Sorry to do this to all of you yet again but there is going to be a delay for show #74…

I hope to get it up later this night but if not it will be here tomorrow.

So the internets are here yet again to prove that people have WAY too much time on their hands and here’s the proof:

Thanks goes to Drew for sending the link along!
