This week we had Neokage on the podcast, talked about some series we’re watching, why fansubbers release in HD for some stupid reason, then we went into the big topic at hand… a Year in Review!

We talked about news of the year from streaming services to companies going under. We talked about releases from Code Geass to Tweeny Witches!

We also took the time to finally review Excel Saga. This zany comedy gave us lots to talk about… but you gotta jump in and listen!

Hey look at that! SHAFT’s got a new look! We’re still going under some construction as we get all the sidebars and what not set up.

So let us know if you like the new design.

EDIT(Gene): Just in case you like RSS feeds and the like to follow your favorite site… SHAFT now has an RSS for its blog! Linked here.

It’d be one thing if it was just the video but the song just makes it that much better

…or maybe not:

Is this what we have to look forward to?

Thanks to Ryan for the link

As stated before in Gene’s absence the show will continue on…

The show will be delayed until Tuesday at 7pm eastern (instead of Monday)

Along with our review or School Rumble Season 2 Vol 1 Disk 1 we will be accompanied by the Girl Nerd from The Girl Nerd podcast we will also be discussing what we consider anime to be. If it’s written and directed/produced in America for an American audience yet outsourced/designed/animated else where (Japan, Korea…) is it considered anime?

We will be taking calls on the air so be sure to be in the chat room for the show on Tuesday to get your spot and tell us what you think.

You can also send in email and/or mp3 to tell us what your view is on the topic, animeshaft@gmail.com

Thanks goes to Ryan (not Kyle :p) for sending us this AMV.

Music: Masterplan – Sail on
