Long overdue for a reply… Thanks for listening!

ROFL THE TAIGA HOLE I remember reading about this on sankaku complex way back when. I can’t believe you haven’t used it…
I’d love to go to comiket, revitalize that feeling of amazement at an anime event that I used to feel at otakon.
“Go to Comiket” made me think of “Go to a Soapland”
January 17, 2012 at 9:52 pm
Why do you think “Go to a soapland”?
January 17, 2012 at 11:05 pm
Just made me think of that line from a Tatsuhiko Takimoto short in Faust.

Love the confrontation with Obi-wan the night before :p
This was really fun to listen to, especially since I’ve never really looked up information about Akihabara before. I didn’t realize that maid cafes were such a recent type of business. Comiket also seems like it’d be so overwhelming, and I hope that whenever I do, I have a good friend with me
January 17, 2012 at 9:53 pm
Surprised me too. Then again, looking back, I don’t think Kimagure Orange Road or any other “classic” anime had maid cafe episodes.

Great podcast as always. I always learn something when I listen to your podcasts.
The background sound effects really add o the overall quality too. I heard some Catherine, Mawaru Penguindrum and Lucky Star sound effects in there.
January 17, 2012 at 11:25 pm
Thanks.
Now you can see all the sound credits.

Yes.

Nice re-cap of that first (for me anyway haha) epic winter Comiket run…

Were you the one who bought the Kannagi doujinshi for Akira? I couldn’t include it in the episode, but he was very appreciative.
January 11, 2012 at 3:38 pm
A hundred thousand people in one location just buying Porn, now that’s an experience
. Awesome Podcast 2DT

That was really quite fun to listen to, and I’ve gotta say – you’ve got brilliant BGM timing, 2DT! It made the story ten times better.
