ANNCast Episode 042 - Totally Boss |
Get the Flash Player to see this player. |
Starting out this week we've got brand spankin' new associate editor Gia Manry joining us for the top of the show! We talk a little about her history and then dive in to what everyone's been watching, including X, My Bride is a Mermaid, Durarara!! and more. Then we get right into the bludgeoning awkwardness that is New Voice Productions. It's a doozy!
Then for the first time in 42 episodes, Anime News Network's editor-in-chief Christopher Macdonald joins us all the way from Shibuya, Tokyo, to talk about all the new stuff that ANN is going to debut this year, including a ton of new video, a casual news feed and a bunch of other stuff. We also discuss his summertime world tour and his penchant for driving a really expensive car in a circle really really fast! Then it's Twitter time! Get ready to lose your minds!!
