Podcast Side Quest Episodes

 With the focus of the podcast being around weekly discussions of three new anime each season, there was no room for additional content or guest's, thus was born the idea of the Side Quest episodes.

 

    The platform needed a way to expand beyond the core concept while staying true to its format.  This coupled well with my intention of taking a look back at much older anime with newer eyes and a different perspective than when I viewed them decades ago.  Wrapping the co-host David's thoughts into the viewings adds another layer of dissection.   My own view points that have changed over time and become more cynical.  Adding in the perspectives of someone of a younger generation with very little time served in the fandom brings a completely different opinion to what are considered classics in American fandom.

    The first episode was devoted to discussing the crazed 2 part OAV series Puni Puni Poemy for its ease of access, instant cerebral impact and a small amount of mischievous intent on my part.  David had expressed some exacerbation in a recent episode of the main podcast when discussing a long sequence of unnecessary fan service in Seiyuu Radio followed up by a harem gang bang in Re:Monster.  I wanted to tap into that raw emotion with something that will push his limits further in the realm of fan service.  Puni Puni Poemy is both a bit ecchi and uncompromisingly hectic.

    I am not sure how frequent Side Quest episodes will come out, but I already have the next half dozen or so anime titles lined up, the next one should be wither Project A-ko or Ninja Scroll.  Keep tuned in and subscribed to know when they drop and don't forget to listen/watch the latest weekly episodes of the main podcast.
