AGP#034 – Still Talking

Hosts: Evan “Vampt Vo” Minto, Elliot Page, Ink
Topic: “What’cha Been Doing?”

After a ridiculously long break between episodes, we’re back with a 100% Ani-Gamers staff episode (i.e. both co-hosts are Ani-Gamers contributors). We discuss the anime, manga, and video games we’ve been checking out in these last few weeks, including Ink’s Anime Secret Santa pick, Fate/Stay Night. Plus, in the last fifteen minutes or so, Evan and Elliot have an in-depth discussion of the wildly popular indie game Minecraft.

Check out show notes and links after the break.

[02:50] Elliot is reading the slightly disappointing fifth volume of Kiminori Wakasugi’s Detroit Metal City manga.

[22:30] Evan’s watching his roommate’s Gundam Unicorn Blu-rays. (The show is from studio Sunrise and directed by Kazuhiro Furuhashi.) We talk a bit about where the best place to start is for fans who want to get into the Universal Century Gundam timeline.

[32:25] Ink watched the beginning of the Masaaki Yuasa anime The Tatami Galaxy, but had to frequently pause to read the dense dialogue.
