Mentos – Watch a funny movie here

After the usual set of business such as announcing contests, wondering what was up with everyone downloading SHAFT Episode #39, Chris’ unhealthy obsession with Strike Witches, our blog review and a quick run down of releases, we sat down to discuss the biggest topic in anime today…

Fansubs.

We covered everything from what they are, how they hurt the anime industry, how they help the industry, the stigma, the grey area and everything in between. After we were done talking, we asked what you thought with your awesome live calls! Sit back and enjoy.

This time around we’re bringing a review to the blog with a review of the 12 episode comedy, Girls High. Girls High focuses around Eriko, a young girl who has just made the transition from junior high to high school. Along the way with old friends and new Eriko experiences what its like to be in the world of high school.

Only the Japanese would even consider punching Lord Vader in the helmet.
