Greetings and salutations from the Crystal Gondola here in Japan! This week, we record in the middle of one of Ian’s Japanese Death Colds.
As for topics, we look into the Christian Manga world of Zondervan, invoking the horror of Mark Twain’s “The Mysterious Stranger”. We touch on the Wikipedia hullabaloo over control of the Gundam Ministry, with a quick look at Japanese life insurance plans. Aaaaannnndddd… We go on and on about the split between ADV and Geneon, degrading into our usual rant on the bad new-media practices of the Anime industry, and the rest of the world… Then we remember Duel Love, the answer to the little girl witch touching game, Doki Doki Mahou Shinpan. And we wrap things up with a discussion on the end of “School Days”.
So put on your mask, listen in, and enjoy this special contagious Dai-Cast. Just make sure to wash your hands afterwards…
Hosts: Ian Horner, Eryn Dearden, and Jason Hill, with Brendan Dery as “Beej”.

You were quite right Beej, I was listening to the cast at work. However, I was not in the lab, I was at my desk when I listened to it.
The nipple bit wasn’t that funny. It was a bit different but even when mentally picturing it, it was bland.
However I did have to bite my tongue at the misquote “Love Juice 2: bukkake or whatever boogaloo edition” I didn’t need to picture it, I was foolish enough to have watched the video and I remembered. It made for a good laugh.
Keep up the good work.
Marc.
For my part, I _was_ on the bus on the way to work but I didn’t roll my eyes. I just sort of shook my head at the Beejness of it all.
Why yes, I am just now catching up on 2 months of Dai-Cast.
