Otaku in Review Podcast – Bankruptcy is Bad, Toradora is Good
...especially when Taiga gets angry.
This week we cover general news and goings on. Scott Pilgrim, also known as “that awesome movie that every geek except me has seen,” is apparently awesome (And I really want to see it). Some awesome (or creepy, depending on how you look at it) news in the field of 2D love as we discuss Love Plus + and its use of augmented reality barcodes (whatever that means). Hatsune Miku is jumping overseas with her first U.S. “concert” that of course is on the opposite side of the country.
Drama’s a-brewing with FUNimation again, with what they did with the second ED sequence to My Bride is a Mermaid. Urban Vision might not be doing so hot, or maybe they’re just restructuring as they say? MangaGamer’s having troubles with Koihime Musou, but you should still buy it. NIS America details their upcoming releases of Toradora!, Persona: Trinity Soul, Pandora Hearts, and some generic foxgirl deity show. And the best news of all, MITSUDOMOE SEASON 2! (Scott was not amused by my enthusiasm).
Not all the news was good though, as two companies in Japan recently filed for bankruptcy. Hear our thoughts on this week’s episode.

I wouldn’t pass up My Bride is a Mermaid. It’s probably one of the funniest romantic comedies I have seen this year. You should definitely watch it! Plus the show isn’t an ecchi!
@Eric Robinson
My bad, I guess it just looked like it would be an ecchi show to me and so I assumed as such. I have actually heard good things about the show despite it being of the type of show that usually gets ripped apart. I’ll probably check it out to see if I like it.
Hope Toradora! does well enough for NIS America for a dubbed re-release. I manage to buy both boxsets for a reason despite being released without a dub. Even if anime doesn’t do well for NIS America, I at least own a legal copy of the show.
Also, in addition to watching the show, I’m going to create an AMV to help promote Toradora! See if any of these songs are upbeat enough:
