Otaku in Review Podcast – This is [not] 4kids
It was a slow anime news week this week, so Scott and I mostly talk about some random stuff in this episode. We do, however, get into the topic of speculating which show 4kids has recently licensed. Also, I discuss my experience with Summer Wars, which I was lucky enough to be able to see at NYICFF.

This is going to be blunt, and I’m sorry because I like your website, but you guys are horrible at podcasting. It sounded more like you were having a casual chat that you recorded. I listened to some of your older ones and it sounds the same. I really tried liking it but Jon you laugh way to much and sometimes, most of the time, it sounds fake. Half the time it seemed like you two were in a match to see who could cut each other off the most. The other half you were only agreeing with each other because you need to share some opinions. You know I would have been more pleased if you guys would have whipped your dicks out for the measuring contest and started talking about what was really on your mind not just fake laughs and nods.
However, maybe I’m wrong, there is a strong possibility that I’m wrong and I don’t want you to take this at all the wrong way. I’m just trying to give you some helpful criticism because that is what your podcast needs. I will be back for next weeks episode.
PS. Love the blog and you (Jon) had a very nice sense of humour when you said “It doesn’t matter how old they are” …. “That’s why I watch Black Lagoon” The complete opposite of what he meant. I wish you’d show that more in the podcasts.
@William Wolf:
Thank you for the feedback. The truth is, I’ve noticed a lot of these problems myself. The way I talk on the podcasts is very much how I talk in real life, and I know that’s not how it should be. My laughing isn’t fake, it’s just that I laugh at almost everything.
This particular episode was lackluster simply because we didn’t have much to talk about. I think we’ve done much better on past shows, though I admit the problems you mentioned are present in those as well.
I’m still very new to podcasting, so anything I do is going to be far from perfect. So, I appreciate the criticism and I’ll try to keep this in mind in future shows. It may take a while for me to adjust though.
Thanks for the compliments as well, I’m glad you enjoy reading my blog.
My spider sense is tingling. Are you perhaps a INF (Introverted, Intuition, Feeling, Fill In The Blank). You seem the type of guy that would know what I’m talking about but if not I’m talking about a psychology placement theory called MBTI. I’m an ENTP.
Now onto the reply. Sometimes it is hard for me to distinguish fake laughs from real laughs. Especially if they continuously change tones [Soft & High]. So, as I said it was possible I was wrong and I’m glad I was.
I understand that you’re new to podcasting and in that I’d suggest you listen and analyze a few other podcasts to get a feeling of how they speak and talk to everyone as if it is a big party instead of a solo conversation. Also, you didn’t touch my issue of you to agreeing with each other. I say if you to disagree than disagree.
I’ll be listening and I’ll continue to give you C&C as long as you want it.
Actually, I am an ISTJ according to an online test I took a while back.
I’ve been listening to some other podcasts recently and I hope to learn some things from them. As for the agreeing/disagreeing thing, I haven’t really noticed this, but me and Scott actually do agree on a lot of things (that’s one reason why he wanted me as cohost). Maybe I’m just not expressing my agreement well? Anyway, I’ll try to be more aware of this in the future.
ISTJ. I can see it as I did think you were ISTP to begin with. However, I haven’t met a lot of ISTJs to know and the fact that I said INF adds to this because STJs shadow to NFPs. It would also explain your lack of looking for a deeper meaning. It’s just the ISTJs I’ve met have been more monk like.
Well, as I said. I’m an ENTP. Ne Ti Fe Si.
I find that if you two are going to be agreeing on a lot of things you should bring in a part that won’t. No one wants to much of one side. It needs to all balance out. You can’t have one without the other or your audience will be limited. I suggest listening to the Sarcastic Gamer Podcast for a few episodes.
