If you would like all of the audio shows of Super Happy Anime Fun Time on DVD we are asking for a donation of $10. If you donate more then $25 we'll throw in something special with the DVD.
So just to get you all hyped up for our review of Dragonball: Evolution tomorrow on show 106 we thought you’d all like to see an interview that Rotten Tomatoes did with Justin Chatwin (Goku) and Emmy Rossum (Bulma). If you haven’t decided if you want to see the movie yet just listen to Justin Chatwin as he tells you not to.
EDIT:Speaking of Rotten Tomatoes… the current score is 15%. Which is actually up from 14%.
This week, Gene and Chris bring in regular listener Phantom for the show.
After Gene well… acts himself… the panel gets into quite a few announcements for the podcast and take a call about anime publications.
Then the big topic at hand, Steampunk! What we like about it? What you should probably like about it? And why its one of the more under utilized genres in anime. We also talk about some existing steampunk anime and video games to get to the bottom of this.
From there we talk a bit about Funimation taking their sweet time on announcing their license of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, a boxed up release spotlight and a start to our live action month with a review of Cutie Honey!
We thought we’d remind everyone that our Spring Preview episode is next week, not Tuesday. What we’d like to do is ask our listener base what they’d like us to review. Obviously, we’ll be reviewing Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood but what else would you like us to take a look at?
We’ll also mention this on the show this week as well.

*Update*
For those that are interested or can’t remember what’s is coming out this spring you can view the line up here.
FUNimation, as we knew they would, has picked up the rights to air Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood 4 days after the Japanese airing. In addition, several other countries are joining the action of the simulcasting including Australia(which announced this last week), France, Hong Kong and other Asian markets.
The series will air through FUNimation’s own video streaming service off of their own website. We love their streaming site and I’m really looking forward to this.
While this is hardly a surprise that this would happen, it is a bit surprising that FUNimation would wait this long to announce this even to the point of being beat to the punch by other markets. This seems to have less oomph to me now after the announcement last week from MadMan Entertainment. We’ll be talking this up on this weeks episode of the show in addition, some Steampunk.
