Oops, missed a week! And our schedule for 4/15/2011

You'll have to forgive me for forgetting to post last week's schedule. I wasn't here, but from the sounds of it, it looks like we need to watch more Ebichu.

This week it's:

EBICHU MINDS THE HOUSE (Ep. 3 & 4)
- The show that introduced sex and blood to Hamtaro fans all over the world (via piracy). What more needs to be said? From Studio Gainax (Neon Genesis Evangelion, Gunbuster, Gurren Lagaan)

OTAKU NO VIDEO (Ep. 1)
- An exaggerated (to say the absolute least) tale of how Studio Gainax got their start. Featuring mock interviews with the stereotypical 90's otaku, this anime was actually a little controversial as some felt that Gainax was making fun of its own fan base. But as long as you have a sense of humor, I'm sure you'll be fine.

TIGER AND BUNNY (Ep. 1)
- The super-hero animated reality show that is quickly gaining recognition as the best new anime of the season.

JIN-ROH: THE WOLF BRIGADE
- After witnessing the suicide bombing of a terrorist girl, Constable Kazuki Fuse becomes haunted by her image, and is forced to undergo retraining for his position in the Capital Police's Special Unit. However, unknown to him, he becomes a key player in a dispute between Capital and Local Police forces, as he finds himself increasingly involved with the sister of the very girl he saw die. (Description taken from Anime News Network.) This film is notable for being written by Mamoru Oshii (Ghost in the Shell, The Sky Crawlers, Urusei Yatsura 2: The Beautiful Dreamer)
