Cobra is one of the most sexist, cheesy and silly shows ever made. Naturally, this also makes it one of the greatest shows ever made. I first watched Cobra a good several months ago, and even after 31 episodes of this stuff, I hungered for more! Thankfully, I happened...

V V V VICTORY ef- a tale of melodies While I appreciated the artistic merit in the first ef series, I only half liked it. This is not to fault the geniuses at SHAFT or supervisor Shinbo– I just thought the story was boring half of the time. I...

If Toonami solidified my interest in Japanese cartoons, Adult Swim nurtured and matured it. The way I found out about Adult Swim was a little strange. I came to know about it by way of my first ever DVD purchase– Outlaw Star volume 1. It was on that disc...

Download [audio:http://mistakesofyouth.com/podcast2/MoY_2_ep_7.mp3] Bonertown and I go on for an hour on how useless Code Geass season 2 was. Lots of spoilers abound, as usual, so listen with that in mind. This one isn’t just filled with spoilers for Code Geass, though– it has Death Note and Gundam 00 spoilers,...

Ga-Rei -zero- I’m not sure what shocks me the most– the ending of this first episode, or the fact that asread is making an action show! Well, it’s asread along with AIC Spirits, but I’m still impressed. Ga-Rei’s setup is pretty risky. This is something that would be absolutely...

YOU’RE ALREADY DEAD Kurogane no Linebarrels Talk about a volatile combination: On one hand, we have the evil forces of Gonzo, Hisashi Hirari and Ali Project going at it; but then again we also have Goro Taniguchi and Ichiro Itano somewhere in the mix. To be perfectly honest, I...

I’m a pretty big Lupin fan, but I have to admit– the series hasn’t held up all too well since the 1980s ended. Sure, some of the ’90s specials were good, and Episode 0 was almost a masterpiece, but for the most part modern Lupin productions just… suck. I...

MIT and Harvard have this program called COOL JAPAN (I’m sure Marxy loves this name) in which public events such as movie screenings and the like are held to promote Japanese pop culture. These events usually have some kind of academic context, with Q&A sessions and discussions being held...

To make it all the more confounding, it seems this series of CDs is called “Lucky Star” I do like the loli on that last one, I will admit....
