Sakura Wars

Sakura Wars

This week, Ben and I watched Sakura Wars. For the first time ever (for this show), I watched it with the subtitle track, because I didn’t realize I had an English track available. Oh well.

This is an anime about an acting troop that also fights monsters by piloting steampunk mech water heaters. Based on a dating sim/tactical RPG for the Sega Saturn, this series features a cast of eligible women (and one bro). Cute characters. Fun story. Awesome theme song.

It’s Sakura Wars!

This also happens to be our shortest show in quite a while, so if you’re aching for more audio content…uhhhh…listen to episode 35 of Retrunauts, where they talk about the Saturn. Shut up! You can never get too much Saturn!

Segata Sanshiroooooo!!!!!!

Due to some unforeseen difficulties involved with our cartoon music themes episode that should have been released last week, we’re presenting you this week with a special double-length episode in which Ben and I brainstorm about upcoming episodes. Ben and I also talk about writing characters and adapting them for different mediums, and we trail off-topic a lot. (No shock, there.) We even talk about Dasien for a bit! Dasien almost took over our humble podcast!

The second half is us discussing the fan series Star Trek: Phase II. Set phazers to Shake ‘N’ Bake. This one’s gonna be a hoot!

Topics:
Upcoming episodes.
Weird superhero costumes.
Gay characters.
I used to be such a letch. What happened?!
Nazareth wrote the best dick song ever
Neil’s rendition of a typical episode of 2 Stupid Dogs
Star Trek fan wankery
Songs that are literally about wankery
Not mentioning anything that starts with “S” or ends with “onic”

This is the true and original Sonic. All other Sonics after this are invalid.

Due to a busy week and poor planning, the Animation Aficionados have taken the week off. But we still have a podcast for you. We have the remainder of our conversation with The Chu as well as an extended version of our reactions to the Sonic fan film, which was released after we had recorded the last episode.

Yes, it’s just us complaining for over an hour, but your reward for this is Stardust Speedway.

Some people REALLY need to get their facts straight!

Tonight, we talk about Sonic cartoons. All Sonic cartoons. Longtime listeners know my views on this for the longest time, and now you can hear it, in full!

Joining us is Sam from the Afr0Blu3 Youtube Channel (he’s done several Sonic reviews), and once again, The Chu of Slightly Damned. Now I know SatAM has a following… I don’t care. It’s still a bad cartoon. And an even worse Sonic cartoon.

Topics Discussed
The Archie characters don’t deserve to live
Sonic birthing Furries
TRUE AND ORIGINAL!
Being too faithful, yet less faithful
Sally goddamn Acorn
Cleaning flecks of gold out of shit with your tongue
Echidna Politics
Chili dogs
There is no good Sonic cartoon
