We are certainly back this week. However, due to testic… er.. technical difficulties.. there is NO live show this week. Repeat, there is no live show this week. If you had something to say in the chatroom, we welcome you to email the show… animeshaft at gmail.com

This week we’re talking about FUNimation’s New Years Roll out, Kanokon coming to the US on DVD and the shake up at AX and what that means for the largest anime convention in the US. We’re also reviewing Spice and Wolf. So let us know what you have to say!

So this week we’re talking about some anime news that is well.. interesting. A story in which anime is making up the majority of Blu-Ray sales in Japan, a story about who’s gonna be in Soul Eater, and a happy ending in a sad tale involving One Piece. Plus our review of Sherlock Hound, thereby ending Miyazaki month…. for now.

Also, we’re planning on Septembers edition of SHAFT TV. We have some ideas on making things work for now, but we also need your emails, suggestions for reviews, suggestions for anything you want to SEE us doing. Thats right, SHAFT isn’t just for audio… its for video TOO! We hope that by this time next month we’re bringing you a new SHAFT TV… at the end of every month.

Also you may have noticed that every week day we’re posting something new to the column. Here’s the schedule:

Monday: SHAFT Live

This our regular show. Just live on UStream to give you a chance to directly effect the show. Remember, every time I call out to the chatroom, you could be there being called out with any and all of your wacky antics making it on the air!

Tuesday: Podcast Edited with Show Notes

This is our regular show, with all the post production added in. With our regular segments edited such as “Thomas’ Prerogative” and “Where’s My Subs?”. Along with what other sound clip nonsense we put in.

Wednesday: Turning Japanese

This is our weird crap from Japan column featuring well… weird stuff coming out of Japan. Chris brings you the oddest stuff coming out of the land of the Rising Sun. Remember, Japan: Bringing you 83% of the worlds weird crap since 1957.

Thursday: AMV Alert!

This is our weekly look into Anime Music Videos and the talented people who make them. Gene brings AMV’s, from the award winning, pulse pounding, laugh rioting… and even the frighteningly bad. If you need a series summed up by popular American music and 3 minutes of fast paced clips… we’ve got you covered.

Friday: The Mad Gamer!

Angelo is a very angry man… because they don’t make enough video games to feed his need. Check this column for the latest in anime based video games or games that should be based for anime. If it came from the Rising Sun, its fair game here.

Saturday: Con-Goers

Our weekly webcomic brought to us by Ryan. If after a long week, you need a good laugh, well check out Con-Goers. The misadventures with everyone you’ve ever met at a convention… of any kind. Sit down with SHAFT and enjoy your Saturday Morning Cartoon!

And Sunday we rest… well we don’t really rest… we sort of watch stuff to review, make fun of other people and well… have fun and enjoy life.

Just remember to check the blog because while we might not be posting a podcast, we’re always posting something!

I’m going to try and post our upcoming episode information in advance again so that everyone has a chance to weigh in, send in email and speak their peace about our upcoming topics this week.

This week we’re talking about some surprise licenses out of Sentai and ADV this week which are all subtitled only. How do you feel about subtitled only releases? Do you prefer them, or do you wish there was a nice dub layered on top?

We’re also reviewing Spirited Away in our second Miyazaki month of reviews. Let us know what you think of this fine advancement of anime movie excellence.

And if there is something you want us to talk about or want brought up on the show, give us an email or a call!

Its summer time and that means its time to go outside and have some fun(unless you live here in which case you stay inside and avoid the rain)! And there’s one thing that screams summer fun, sports! Thats right we’re going to talk briefly this week about Sports Anime. We’re not going to talk about anything specific but just the sub-genre at large.. what constitutes a sports anime?, why are sports anime appealing? why sports anime might just suck? what an anime fan might look for in a sports anime.

We’re also going to be tackling some new releases coming out this week and reviewing The Sky Crawlers.

Also keep your eyes pealed to Gene’s Twitter for the twitter question which will be read and answered on the show! For those interested it’s: Are there any releases you’re looking forward to by the end of the year?

That and of course your email! And if you want to send us email or give us a call for this weeks topics, feel free!
