Anime 3000 Podcast
Date: March 30, 2009

The Fightbait anime podcast joins Anime 3000 as they discuss the depressing state of anime. We also raise several questions. Is this show sponsored by Otaku USA? Is Astro Boy the future of manga in Hollywood or its final chapter? Finally, on a totally unrelated note, is St. Cloud, MN ready for its own super hero? All of this, plus a startling announcement in regard to the future of the Anime 3000 Podcast.

This week, John-Paul "T-Pain" and Andrew fight the power in the Quick Time, over the shoulder shooting, genre defining franchise, Resident Evil. Sean and our special invited guests, Aaron and AJ take a mud bath in the debate over digital distribution. Finally, we discuss the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya... well, sort of. And why are we so into boats and T-Pain?

Anime World Order’s Daryl Surat dispenses his unique brand of animication (anime + education) on the unsuspecting A3K cast. John-Paul joins the regular panel and Joshua reaches his boiling point with the Gundam universe. As an added bonus, watch Sean squirm as he defends the honor of Anime 3000’s existence.

It's the most pretentious episode of the Anime 3000 Podcast yet, as John Paul "Fightbait" from Fightbait and perennial guest Benu join Andrew and Sean to discuss why the otaku uses words such as seiyū and mangaka--is there a weaboo ulterior motive? The panel also weighs in on to what extent anime merits analytical discussion, with asides related to "fauxfundity" (pretentious) and NPR (über-pretentious). BONUS! Andrew explains how to cheat your GameFly queue, and JP cries Nazism. Wait, what? I'm not clarifying,
