Intro (0:15-6:20)

So we're back for another week of unbridled nerd talk. In this opening segment Xan and I discuss the finer point of the French press coffee maker. We also talk about this video that some guy Xan went to high school with made called, "Super Bowl Gang Bang." It's not porn, I promise.

If you're interested in writing for Anime3000 send me an email with a writing sample. Also tell me why you think you'd make a great addition to the staff. The job technically does not pay, but their is the opportunity for free stuff. I've already gotten $30 worth of free manga. Keep in mind, that you're obligated to write a review about the things you receive.

Baccano! (39:13 - 01:08:02)
I can not stress enough how much this show belongs on your shelf. We talk mostly about our favorite characters in this portion. We touch briefly on the story, but we leave everything vague because we didn't want to spoil the show.

If you're still not convinced, be sure to check out Daryl Surat's review of Baccano! with special guest, Mike Toole. He also wrote an article on Baccano! that's featured in the April 2009 issue of Otaku USA.

Contest
If you can somehow prove that you bought one of the official DVDs, I'll buy you the next volume and mail it to you. Only one person can win, so you need to email me your proof as soon as you can if you want to win. If you consider that roughly 50 people listen to the podcast and that none of them email me, your chances of winning are pretty good.

Closing (1:08:53 - 1:14:36)
Next week we're going to be looking at another 16 episode anime from Brain's Base--Kamichu. It may not be as crazy as Baccano!, but it does have a few enjoyable moments. See you next week.
