Introduction (0:00 – 9:58)
The panel talks about some of the series they’re watching as well as plugging their websites and projects. Jeff discusses the Madhouse series, Aoi Bungaku as well as his role with Colony Drop. Bradley Meek shares his latest treat, Yogo Vera. John-Paul Natysin talks about being drunk, Law and Order and maybe some anime.
Music:
The House by John Williams (Main Home Alone Theme)
Past Trends (9:58 – 23:31)
We talk about anime on adult swim and the sci-fi channel and the interesting programming choices of Tech TV. We credit the anime aisle at Blockbuster for corrupting hordes of anime fans. Inuyasha takes its place as a major force in our panelist’s life.
Music:
You’re a Mean One from The Grinch That Stole Christmas

Present Trends (23:31 – 39:34)
The panel has a hard time coming up with current gateway series and Robotech is put on the stretcher. We look at current television trends and pick at Bleach and Naruto. A quick note, I did not catch up on Bleach before the recording of this show, only to find out they screwed me on new episodes. We also talk about the quality of anime on SyFy.
Music:
Schroder plays Jingle Bell

Promos (39:34 – 41:06)
A3K Vol. 01: This is our attempt at levity, so have a sense of humor. It’s a take on Now That’s What I Call Music commercials.
Christmas Song: Considering the demographic of the anime audience, I doubt anyone will be able to pinpoint the reference of the final promo. Here’s a hint, I’m not referring to the original artists of both songs.
Future Trends (41:06 – 59:12)
Before we look at the 2010 Winter season of anime, the panel goes on an Obama tirade that is sure to get at least one of us on the NSA terrorist watch list. This final half is filled with so much explicit material that it brands the entire episode. Thank goodness it’s all in the spirit of spreading anime awareness. This is your definitive guide to the new winter season of anime.
