Nigorimasen Podcast Ep. 3: Pangya Is Life

September 2, 2008 in Podcast by Tom Langston (calaggie) | 5 comments

On this edition of the Nigorimasen! Podcast, I converse with Hinano and jpmeyer about RenAi Blogger, Pangya, a certain almanacker, fan artists, how the number of interesting series has declined year-over-year (I was trying to think of Michiko To Hatchin), a bit of graphic novel talk, and more. Don’t forget to attend the panel that they and DS are hosting at NYAF – Saturday, September 27th 12:30-1:30 pm in the Anime Fandom Room (Room 1A14)!

I’m sorry if you can hear faint static – when I tried to use noise removal, the speech sounded like we were underwater so I ended up not tweaking it that way. Also, I’m also experimenting with podPress because I want to get download estimates; the former streaming interface will show up if you click “Play Now” below. Enjoy!

Nigorimasen! Blogcast Ep. 1: A Good Kind of Boring?

July 22, 2008 in Podcast by Tom Langston (calaggie) | 3 comments

Videotapes of the Digi-Bowl

The first episode of the Nigorimasen! Blogcast was recorded last night with IcyStorm of Minimum Tempo fame as my guest. There was actually some more interesting stuff after the main recording, like magazine subscriptions and rhythm games, so I also crafted a ‘mega’ version that is twenty minutes longer. P.S. I apologize in advance for laughing into my headset mic.

Nigorimasen! Blogcast Mega Edition [75:35m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (254)

Show notes:
- we began talking about AX a bit (it’s dakimakura, not daimakura – my bad)
- I try to explain Mave-chan (which transitions into discussing the Lucky Star dub & pack-in extras)
- we changed topics to digital anime sales (iTunes, PSN, et al.)
- PLUG: MT is looking for writers! (I also promise to submit some articles.)
- my impressions of playing Naruto: ROAN
- I ask to have Aria explained to me
- I later try to pitch Kiba to Icy
- Mega Version: yet another slipup by me – Donkey Konga and Taito no Tatsujin don’t have lyrics but rather kuchi shoga.

Music:
Opening: “Punctured”, performed by Electric Eel Shock
Ending (standard): “You are the only one”, sung by Kotono Mitsuishi [lyrics]
Ending (mega): “Boin VS Boin” from Gurren Lagann BEST SOUND

Gonna Try Rebooting the Podcast

July 20, 2008 in Podcast by Tom Langston (calaggie) | No comments

It has been three months ago since I recorded the last episode of Amateur Otaku Radio and I felt like it was time to try reviving it with a different name – the Nigorimasen! Blogcast, at the moment (very unoriginal) – and an slightly altered style. I’ve given up on TalkShoe because of the time scheduling and general interface and also because I feel more comfortable recording on my own time, hopefully with some other people, and posting a finished episode instead of pulling down a low-quality recording and uploading a reworked version.

I want to use Skype more so I plan to involve other people through interviews or dual-hosting – anything to make it more interesting than going solo and rambling for almost an hour and being distracted by sports on the TV. I will likely do this first one solo but if anyone wants to help me get more acclimated to using Skype, my handle is on the contact page and if you are available tomorrow night or would like to be on the air, let me know.

I’ll also try to answer any questions and topic suggestions on the show that are submitted through comments on the previous episode’s post or emails to ~~blogcast [at] crumplednapkin [dawt] net~~ podcast AT nigorimasen DAWT com.

The least of what I plan to cover when I record tomorrow afternoon/evening PDT are:
- my experiences at AX 2008 (won’t try to dwell on this too long)
- short reviews of the stuff I picked up there (manga and others)
- my first couple weeks owning a 360
- recent happenings in legal downloadable anime

Reading Out Loud #02: Inside Bee Train

June 15, 2008 in Reading Out Loud by Tom Langston (calaggie) | 1 comment

While flipping through some of my older issues of Newtype USA recently, I found a feature story on Bee Train within the March 2005 issue. Written by Amos Wong, the story was well-timed as the first DVD volume of Madlax was to come out in America soon after on April 12th of that year. I enjoyed reading the feature when I originally bought the magazine and again when re-reading for this episode because it gave me a look into the origin and development methods of the studio that was deeper than I had obtained through the inserts packaged with Noir DVD’s.
