Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad Review

WOOO ROCK AND/OR ROLL! ... 

Why is Rock and Roll so boring? And why do I want to keep watching?

Requested by Angel of the Wolf!

New Request Page

I've decided that rather than bogging down the podcast proper every once in a while with updates about requests, I've gone ahead and added a request page,  http://fivepointpodcast.blogspot.com/p/requests.html  If you have a request to... request, check here to make sure someone else hasn't requested it first. 

Introduction Video (Revised)

I decided to revise the site's introduction video.  We had one of these before, on the "about us" page, but that was recorded back in December and was utterly outdated. 

You can watch the video after the break.

Mecha Month! Schedule Update 3/28/12

 Firstly, we're happy to announce (formally) that April will be Mecha Month.  We'll be looking at a mostly older shows, with one more contemporary show to keep us from getting HOT BLOODED 70S AND 80S MECHA ANIME poisoning.

And yes, that's a thing.  And yes, I had to post that in all caps.  The hot bloodedness made me.

Our April schedule is:

4/1: Neon Genesis Evangelion (Mecha Month)
4/8: Beast King Go Lion (Mecha Month)
4/15: Mobile Suit Gundam (Mecha Month)
4/22: Getter Robo G (Mecha Month)
4.29: Asura Cryin' (Mecha Month)

Now for some housekeeping. 

It's been about two months since the last time we did a post on schedule updates; we've managed to get through most of the anime we'd had on the docket at the time.  What inspired this post is an e-mail from one "Angel of the Wolf," who made a whole bunch of requests all at once.  Beyond April, the schedule gets hazy, and we'd like you, the viewers, to tell us which shows you'd like to see us take on. 

Angel Tales (Request from Angel of the Wolf)

Avatar: The Legend of Korra (Request from Angel of the Wolf) (obviously, we need to wait until there are three episodes to review.)

Bartender (Request from Angel of the Wolf)

BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad (Request from Angel of the Wolf)

Black Blood Brothers(Request from Angel of the Wolf) 

Black Heaven (Request from Angel of the Wolf)

Chi's Sweet Home (Request from Angel of the Wolf)
Guilty Crown (Request from Runixzan)

Gun Frontier (Request from Angel of the Wolf)

Gun×Sword 

Hero Tales

Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit  (No matter what, this one is getting done in May.)
Princess Tutu (Request by SpacemanHardy)
Samurai Girl: Real Bout High School (Request by Sloth) 
The World God Only Knows (Request by Yerocha)

Trigun: Badlands Rumble (this one will have to wait until it's available to stream somewhere, or we get physical copies of the DVD.  It's just on our long range "to do" list.)

Also, since there's been some confusion: we don't review hentai.  Sorry, it's just outside our comfort zones. 

If you listeners at home have a request of your own, or you just want to chime in on which of these you'd like to see us do sooner, you can comment below or e-mail us at darthbobcat@gmail.com. 

Time of Eve Review

This week, we did a request by MadShadow, over at the Desu Des Brigade Forums.

In the not too distant future (somewhere in time and space)... In what is most likely Japan, humanlike androids are as common as toaster ovens. Yes, that's right. Everyone has a robot maid... but apparently, nobody uses them for naughty purposes. Maybe this isn't Japan after all...

Rules Changes-Requests

In the past, we always said that we'd immediately dump whatever we were currently reviewing in favor of requests.  However, that was before we started having a firm plan for our reviews a month or more in advance.  In light of that, from here on out, review requests will be done in a timely manner, but will not NECESSARILY knock our schedule out of whack.  Mainly, I'm covering my butt so we don't have to mess with April's Mecha Month. 

However, on the flip side: in the past, we've also said to shoot for the obscure.  However, go ahead and request your heart out.  Even if we have prior exposure, we'll give it a shot.
