Also, what’s up with cat girls in anime?

As to what Hinano and JPMeyers fetishes are… I’m pretty sure Hinano said she likes perverted guys, how she meant that, we may never know, but take from that what you will. JPMeyer obviously has a thing for France and mecha meaning he would want umm some kind of French mecha musume or something. [I don’t know, work with me here.] you guys really should do some kind of Anime hot or not type of thing, that woud be awesome.

Wow I have commented three times now on this podcast, I guess I just like to hear myself talk, or rather read myself type, or something like that.

Also, my vote for length is just to keep having it be whatever length it comes out to be because you can never have too much Anime Nano Podcast, and because the artificial shortening of podcasts because of peoples complaints that they are too long is silly, and leads to weird endings. Just as long as you don’t get too far off on a tangent, its good IMO.

hornball started it, somewhat.

now for this week

1: Should we be concerned that english anime distributors will grow less dependant on the hardcore fans and in turn start churning out shittier product? (eg. more liberal translations, censoring, etc) *cough* like the north american manga industry

2. (on a related note) Any idea how well the uncut Naruto boxset is selling in relation to the edited?

And I guess I have a question I guess: besides anime, what else do you like about otaku culture?

Sorry Hinano, but I am going to have to agree with Haruhi > Haruhi, your art is not at professional artist level. You have to remember that with Manga just like conventional writing the hardest thing to get published is your first work, after which you have much more credibility as an author. Remember publishing an authors first work is a a potentially major risk to a publisher, so they have to see the work as being potentially profitable before they are willing to take that risk especially if you don’t have a preexisting audience like an established author or for example webcomic artist, which brings me to my suggestion; start bublishing your manga, or even something completely different as a webcomic, that way you can develop your artistic and story writing skills as well as create a preexisting audience that will give you more credibility with publishers, it worked for Fred Gallagher, who I think I can safely say is the most famous American Mangaka out there. Just a suggestion.

This is even hotter:

I didn’t say your art sucked, nor did I compare it to some Japanese mangaka. My point was that I can see issues with anatomy, proportion and perspective that could make a publisher reject it. Not that that’s going to stop anyone from buying the doujinshi if you go by the comments on DA. But if you say “fuck them” to everyone who sees a flaw in your art, if you’re going to dismiss every little criticism as an insult, isn’t that going to hold back your own development?

Hinano, you make some awesome videos. Don’t let the naysayers get you down, all artist go though the critisism sooner or later.

You didn’t list the op and closing this time, and I don’t recognize last epsode op. referance so could you please update them.

Keep up the good work.

.right

Wow so who’s next? This must be the “insult hinano” thread or something

and… /yawn at drama. At least, drama that isn’t in the form of an anime or j-drama.

Btw, I think the best part of your podcast is the portion where you ramble with no apparent goal or anything. It’s cool when you have a schedule and answer questions, but it’s just as good or better when you all have fun and laugh about random stuff (like at the end). Keep em coming, good shit. I wouldn’t worry about the time constraint, maybe split it up if it gets too long with relevant and non relevant stuff?

@Hinano: I dunno how you managed to stand up there and sing, cuz damn, that’d be hard as hell. Not only that, but there were probably like zillions of guys drooling n shit. @_@ Good job being able to move fast enough to keep up with the music though, i always thought the movement was too fast to be done smoothly in real life but it was pretty good.

[long comment, bleah]

It seems more people are jumping on the OEL bandwagon with someone starting an OEL anthology mag of BL stories. http://www.dqrush.com/ Sexual content aside, is it just me or is the art more polished and a lot less weeaboo than most of the stuff in Tokyopop’s OEL line?

Also, Hinano you have my sympathy, panties on teh internets = no good. You [ well Hung actually] have hornball’s e-mail, you could do something to him
