Seriously there's more to it than that, though. We start out chatting about the crazy marketing knick-knacks anime companies spent money on during the anime bubble of the early 2000s, and then get into Production I.G's latest all-CG kiddie flick Oblivion Island, with a discussion of the general quality of most Japanese CG.
After that we talk Japanophiles and the relationship between them and anime fans, and then after that it's all Twitter questions! Watch this show!

NSFW Language Warning: When Justin, Bamboo and I get together it is not unlike a horde of swearing, angry vultures arguing over who gets to consume the final bit of Zebra carcass. Take that to mean what you will!
