Boy, you know how to make a girl feel loved.

We have never been anime exclusive. Our 4th episode was about a video game, our 12th was about Hollywood Zap, and our 18th was about Battlestar Galactica. We have been doing the occasional crappy movie since very early on.

I'm sorry you didn't enjoy The Worst Witch podcast, but maybe you should have posted your comments on that podcast, instead of this one about Kikaida.

Are we going to talk about more anime? Of course we are. But it was Halloween and we were having a little fun.

There's only about nine jillion anime podcasts out there. Clearly the market needs another bunch of nerds talking about the latest Evangelion movie, because Lord knows that anime podcasts are the ONLY place ANYONE could POSSIBLY learn that sort of thing.

PS I will admit that this podcast was a bit more scattered than others. It's all Star's fault. She sent Feddy to sabotage us. After all, she's just using us as a stepping stone, so she needs the podcast to be terrible unless she's in it!

MostlyHarmless....you gotta watch the language. We're allowed to criticize on this blog, but we're not allowed to say the 'F' word here. CDX zone, remember.

I'm sorry you did not enjoy this podcast, MostlyHarmless, but not every show can be about robots. Both DAPDX and CDX cover a variety of other topics including Japanese and American superheroes. We definitely have more robot anime on the horizon (Gunbuster is going to be very soon, for example) and while not every podcast can be a winner, we have done a number of podcasts after the Megazone 23 one that I am proud of including Champion Joe, Getting Any?, The Maxx, Aeon Flux, Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye, The Calamari Wrestler, Power Rangers, and even the Super Mario Bros. Super Show episode.

Transformers and Power Rangers are giant robot shows, so I'm not sure I agree with your assertation that we're not doing robots anymore. In point of fact, Kikaida is a robot show.

I think an issue here may be that I really love the anime series Android Kikaider - The Animation and didn't realize that the live action series would be so cheesy and superficial in comparison. The plan is to do the animation later and we'll see if that is more to your liking.

We miss Andrew's contributions to the show as well, you can still enjoy his frequent robot toy reviews right here on CDX under the name VF5SS. Most of them have videos so you can even get your recommended daily requirement of his voice too!

Yeah, I have to admit that the duck thing was not really as funny as it seemed at the time. I think I was more interested in teasing Feddy than anything else. Seriously, we just didn't get much out of Kikaider. I suppose we could have gone into the history of metal heroes vis-a-vis the larger sentai genre, and the thematic difference between a being created to be a hero and someone who has heroism thrust upon them, but seriously--we're talking about a show where the hero's costume is a bunch of tinfoil glued to his head.

This isn't the first time somebody repeated something over and over again on DAPC, I remember earlier on somebody repeating a musical phrase over and over again at nausea through most of the podcast. They though they were being so funny but it just made me turn it off.

But one aspect I liked about DAPC was they did other types of movies. My favorite ever will be the Mel Gibson review and I believe the hosts always pick good subject but the specific state if DAPC I don't know as I haven't listen to it in over a year.

Good luck to your next 100!

Yeah I know that Modcineaste, I've reluctantly brought this up with the Gondarharr podcast that they did and etc. I said reluctantly because I didn't want to hurt the captain's pride. I got admirable respect for the captain and his crew, and I know they don't mind angry letters...but still writing angry letters to a podcast ship that I admire a lot bruises my conscience and I don't do this oftenly.

I really meant what I said about supporting the subjects that they present are outside Asian entertainment. I'm all for that; they need to be presented outside the cultural norm. I hope that they review more hidden gems like Russian Animation films, more Brother Quay films, Fitzcarraldo, Super Week, Barnyard Commandos, Creepshow, Ren & Stimpy, Once A Hero, Alive from Off Center, Read All About It! etc. in the near future.

I hope that I wasn't harsh on my last comment to this episode. I was only expressing what I've experienced. Mr. Feddy, I hope I didn't hurt your feelings for calling you a wuss. I understand you're significant member of the crew and I expect you to appear more shows to come.

To Ms. Star, what I've said about your voice sounding like Meg Griffin, I want to be on record that I've meant nothing negative about your voice. I am an admirer of Mila Kunis & her performance, so your voice reminds me of her. I hope you didn't take offense at that statement. I want to hear more of you podcasting the ship for more missions to come. You are significant to the crew & that is affirmative.
