Dragonaut: The Resonance Review

In our first request from Angel of the Wolf (who is very patient considering that she gave us about 20 suggestions more than a month ago and this is the first one we're getting to), we take a look at Dragonaut: The Resonance.  Robot Dragons From Outer Space!  What could possibly go wrong?

Apocalypse Zero Review

We've had series recommended to us for a number of reasons. This is the first that was specifically asked of us because of how bad it was. Thanks a lot, SpacemanHardy. On the plus side, it gave us an excuse to bring in reinforcements, in the form of Paranormal Rob.

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. 

Poll Results

A few weeks ago, I decided to throw up a poll.  I decided to see what sorts of shows people wanted us to review.  You can see the results after the break.

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...

Episode 10: Fate/Stay Night

Woohoo! Ten episodes! And you all thought we'd collapse after a month. Well, we showed you!

... ahem.

In this episode, Bobcat and Burkion look at Fate/Stay Night at the request of Bobcat's friend Thanqol. In a world like our own, teen magicians battle one another for the fate of the world. Also, it's a show that eerily resembles a dating sim that cleaned itself up after a stint in rehab.

Schedule Update

Since I posted about the last requested review, we've had another review request.  So, here's our schedule for the next few weeks (assuming we can keep up our weekly update schedule, knock on wood.)

(Actual schedule after the break).

Origin: Spirits of the Past Announcement

We're proud to announce that next time we'll be reviewing the anime movie Origin: Spirits of the Past.  This is a request from friend of the show Flaktrap. 

Gravitation Review

In this episode, Bobcat and Burkion tackle a shounen ai show. Gravitation is the story of two young men trying to make it in the cutthroat world of J-Pop, and the budding (?) romance between one of the band members and an emotionally distant and abusive novelist. Did this series draw us in, or did it plummet to Earth at a rate of 9.8 meters per second squared?

Tales From Earthsea Review Announcement

Now that we've actually watched it and the capricious schedule of Netflix can't stop our review, we're proud to announce that our next review (which should be up sometime tomorrow) is of the studio Ghibli film "Tales From Earthsea."  Hopefully we'll be able to get to Ponyo at some point in the future. 

Remember, if there's a series you'd like us to review, you can comment below or email us at darthbobcat@gmail.com. 

Nanaka 6/17 Review

This time, Bobcat and Burkion review a cute anime based on a teenager who thinks she's six years old thanks to horrific brain damage. Does the concept work, or will you want to bludgeon yourself back to the first grade to forget it?

And a special thanks to Hika Yagami for giving us our first audience suggested review!

Five Point Podcast Episode 2: Nanaka 6/17 by fivepointpodcast Here are all of the places (that we found) where you can view it for free:

http://www.theanimenetwork.com/Anime/Nanaka-6/17/Watch

(This is the website of the current license holder, but you're still watching it through Hulu).

http://www.hulu.com/search?query=Nanaka+6%2F17&st=0&fs=

http://www.youtube.com/show?p=L7Grkkm34Pw&tracker=show_av The option of last resort; it's buggy, it likes to clip off the last minute of the episode and they put episode 9 at the end of the series inexplicably.

If you decide to buy it, please go through one of our Amazon.com ads; that way, we get a percentage of the sale, and it doesn't increase the price at all.

Finally, if you have any questions or comments, you can comment on the blog or e-mail us directly at fivepointpodcast@outlook.com.

Introductory Video

Are you confused about who we are and what we're about?  Then please check out this informative video.  If you've been keeping up with my blog posts, then you know all of this already; this is intended for people who stumble across the blip page directly without coming here first.  Why post it here then?  I'unno.  Maybe someone out there doesn't want to read, or maybe you just enjoy the dulcet sound of my voice.  If it's the latter, then... good for... you?

Episode 2 Announcement

At the suggestion of my friend Hika Yagami, Burkion and I will be reviewing the anime Nanaka 6/17. Heat Guy J is still on the docket for later.

Just as a reminder, we do take suggestions. If you want us to look at your favorite show (or least favorite, if you hate us and want us to suffer for your amusement), e-mail us at darthbobcat@gmail.com.
