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. I should probably go through some kind of podcast training camp, because whenever I invite superstars on, I end up...
The Fierce War of 2008: The Dead Art of “Original Video Animation”
The OVA is almost a dead art in the fast, 100MB-per-second world of today, but even so there were a few direct-to-video titles that hit shelves this year. Of course, they were either lame eroge adaptations, lackluster fanservice romps or straight up porn. However, despite these odds, an intrepid...

Gurren Lagann volume 1 came in the other day
What’s notable is how they use a variation on ADTRW’s “kick reason to the curb” line on the back. Sadly, “Reject common sense to make the impossible possible” is used in the show proper, but it’s good to see that Bandai has some kind of idea about the pulse...
Comic Site Rant: キ ラ ッ ☆
Original Post For the 100th comic I decided to go full circle and refer back to the beginning of the comic to kind of pat myself on the back for getting this far. As far as art goes, I really like how this one turned out. Aside from a...

Bandai saves Gurren Lagann from the depths of license hell
Subbed only, first DVD hits in July. Dub release in 09. Man, I wish I could’ve been there for this announcement. Not like I could’ve possibly been at the NYCC, but it would’ve been neat. I like how they’re doing a sub-only release just to get it out there...
