Ah, the breezy wind of early spring. What better time to catch up on anime? Justin and Zac reconvene to chat about all the stuff they've been vegitating in front of, including Initial D, Musashi no Ken, Rebirth of Buddha, and Princess Jellyfish, the latter of which launches Zac into a long monologue about who that show is for and why it works. FUN! Also: a whole buncha Twitter time, including questions on out of print anime, Verizon FIOS and the FUNimation Channel, the Oscars, Downton Abbey and more! HOW CAN YOU RESIST
