Great podcast, Otakon sounded awesome and I can't wait till Raging Blast 2 comes out (I'm only really looking forward to see The Plan to Eradicate the Super Saiyans). Also, what was that at the end?

[JulieYBM]

Drunken Sempai? Is that code for Wakamoto? :p Speaking of which, it seems like Wakamoto wears glasses!!

So much great news and fun stories. I wish I could've gone. Kenshin stuff, too!!

EDIT: By the way, you're still going to request the Daizex YouTube account be reinstated, right? I hope you and Heath can get those back!

EDIT 2: #35? You never did #34!! O.o

EDIT 3: Wow, it seems you did and I very much forgot! O.o

EDIT 4: What the Hell was that at the end?! O.o

EDIT 5: Interestingly enough, nobody metnioned the musical score for Plan to Eradicate the Super Saiyans. We don't know if it will use Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans' score, Raging Blast 2's score, or Dragon Ball Kai's score.

I just have one thing to say:

What the bloody fuck was that at the end?

[VegettoEX]

I don't know why some of you regular listeners are surprised or curious about the things that show up at the end of episodes sometimes. Rule #1 about end-of-show material is that there are no rules.

And yeah, I totally had music for Plan to Eradicate the Super Saiyans in my mind as a discussion point, but it slipped that forgetful mind of mine since I didn't actually write it on the outline. Oh, well.

Well, if you get around to the review of Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans you can always cover it then. :p

Yo! Good episode as per usual. I had some house cleaning to do so it was nice to have something new to listen to. I've been sticking to old episodes of Smodcast for a while because it seems all my subscriptions are on break.

I'm really looking forward to the new animation. It's always fulfilling to hear about others that are too.

How come you guys generally stick with the original Japanese pronunciation of the special rather than the English translation?

No real reason, I guess. Same reason I usually stick with saying "Saiya-jin" (though I've been moving over to "Saiyan" lately... pronounced correctly, of course ). Not something I even think about. Things just come out of my mouth.

I had thought it was due to the various ways one could translate the title, espicially after you jokingly brought up how the official translation will use 'Eradicate' instead of another synonym.

[Rory]

Woo, I.... kind of got a nameless mention this week!

[Son Wukong]

Holy shitz I love Daizex and Wasted Wisher.

[ThunderPX]

About the ending segment; I'm never surprised by the crazy stuff that you guys put there anymore... just sometimes amazed by how you even think of it. Like this one.

[Sabin Deus]

Mike, when are you going to post Ain't No Rest For the Wicked?! It was really good and I want it on my hard drive.

Also I enjoyed the hell out of your Otakon panel... and I was totally going to go up and say hi after the panel but they were doing the silly room clear and I got shooed out.

[Hujio]

Yeah, I was disappointed that everybody got kicked out of the panel room right away by the Otakon staff, but I understand they had another panel to prepare for. We honestly didn't know that was gonna happen, although we would have if we would've actually looked at the rest of the Panel 6 itinerary, since it was noted there. I had planned on talking to a lot more people afterwards, but everyone ran away. However... thanks to everyone that actually did stick around to talk to us in the hallway outside the panel room!

Hopefully next year there won't be such an issue, as there's a pretty good possibility that we'll get a better time slot. *crosses fingers*
