Answerman - Time Well Spent
anime
Would a Japanese company ever buy a big American anime publisher? Plus, why long running shows don't stream to the West, why some shows have year-long gaps, and why Japanese fast food workers seem so freaking perky all the time!

House of 1000 Manga - 7 Billion Needles
manga
Shaenon takes in Nobuaki Tadano's science fiction opus, and discovers its chief influences along the way.
― 7 Billion Needles Sometimes I feel guilty for not knowing more about Japanese science fiction literature, because manga writers seem to be pretty well-versed in the American stuff. Osamu Tezuka borrowed liberally from Isaac Asimov's robot stories for Astro Boy. When Moto Hagio attended the San...

Oreimo 2 Sub.DVD
Entertaining, funny and often captivating until the final few episodes, where it trips up badly enough to stumble.
