Legacy listeners might recall the fantastic exchange they had about The Substitute on The HotSpot. It was pretty good.

What the hell? Those naturebox snacks actually look really goddamn good. Has anyone else looked at the website?
I used the free trial from one of the GB podcasts. The samples were really damn good. If I wasn't strapped for cash recently, I'd be pretty damn happy to stay subscribed to NatureBox.

I've only heard good things about it from those who tried it in the Idle Thumbs community.
Dan also needs to watch The Laughing Man arc from Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. I generally do not like anime, but the Laughing Man saga (and the Individual Eleven arc in 2nd GiG) is straight up awesome.
And fuck it, GitS: Solid State Society was pretty great, too. But you need to watch the other stuff first in order to understand the story and to truly appreciate how fucked up things had become for Section 9.

Rorie's position confuses me a bit. The same way someone can prefer a book's rhythm and tendencies over film or foreign film over american film or enjoy bollywood over all of it.
Different areas, cultures, and mediums do tend towards some specific things. I think it's absolutely legitimate to favor a medium because it often delivers you what you want.
I mean, you could say the same for liking certain series of games. "You shouldn't like genres of games, you should just care about whether it's a good game."
Like, sure.... but it can't be THAT strange to develop a taste for something specific right? I mean, giantbomb is all about knowing the tastes of the reviewers. "You know what we like/are like, so you can judge whether our opinion is useful to you."
Hell, in a certain light it's "seek what is objectively good" argument in a space objective good is the most disproven. =P
That being said if that's his personal taste to be sorta "Genre blind" That's cool too. Can someone's subjective good be what's objective good?
Or is it like a mobius strip "What is good? Things that are good."
(Also: I have seen Redline and that's absolutely the sort of insanity that Dan would love forever. Hope it's on his list)

rorie is great
I used it for 2-3 months over the summer. The snacks are really tasty but I didn't feel like I got enough for what I was paying.
They also talk about The Substitute on the bombcast before Jeff sang a song about adopting dogs on the eshop.
I had the exact same experience. It was good, but the quantities of some items were really small. Also, I didn't like having to wait for them to deliver once we ran out. I know where stores are, I can just go get healthy snacks when I need them.
you're a..great

I will give Dan Rykert credit for happily chomping down his crow. Metal Gear is anime, and maybe he sorta kinda likes that.
I don't know about Naruto, but:
There's always been a certain liking for that anime. I believe it was Ryan who described it as the ultimate power fantasy.
It all sense now.
Bombcast was censored by the shadow government for revealing the truth about UVB-76.
mhmm Dan played quite a bit
First, I thought you were all being mean to that one guy's email. Then, I even turned up my volume to try and hear UVB-76 in case you did splice it in and it was just super soft. When I couldn't hear it I went back to the you guys were being mean conclusion.
I think Rorie was the one to bring up how Ubisoft clustered their big releases this month, and its reminded how this has always been a problem for them. One of the factors that lead to Beyond Good and Evil not selling well was because they launched it the same day as Sands of Time. Ubisoft having their own games compete against each other for gamers dollars just seems to be a consistent thing with them. I dont get why they do it.

The first half hour was amazing lol. I almost don't want to finish this podcast so quickly.
Ryan was the biggest Dragon Ball fan known to man. Ryan loved Asura's Wrath as did Patrick as Patrick was willing to give it a chance.

"What's that website where you can get the free anime for a month?"
"I don't know" - Jeff and Brad.
Hahaha didn't they just advertise it last week? I guess they don't want to advertise it for free.

You are a bad person, and I hope that you feel bad. Redline is fucking great, and anyone that says otherwise is LYING

Why are Dan and Drew doing a book podcast instead of an anime podcast?

So are they not allowed to mention crunchyroll? Someone said "hey isn't there that thing you can subscribe to" during the anime discussion and everyone was like "I DON'T KNOW!". I just thought it was weird, thought they did crunchyroll spots previously

Some works are of such great quality that they appeal to a wider audience that is usually not into the genre.
Of course it's not a 100% percent thing and some people refuse to look at anything beyond the genre they already like but in all media/genres there's works one knows most people will enjoy.
