First off, here’s some background music. Anyways, >>1, please listen to me. That it’s really related to this thread. I am in Japan right now; you know, Japan? Well, anyways, there was insane number of foreigners there, and I couldn’t get in. Then, I looked at the poster on...

Download [audio:http://mistakesofyouth.com/podcast2/MoY_2_ep_15.mp3] As per the title, I speak with Mike Dent for a bit about the new-ish first Gurren Lagann movie, and little on the properly new second movie.
