It’s always awesome when one of our very own succeeds. Mike Dent has been nominated for Best Anime Podcast by Parsec Awards 2007. Not only that, he’s made it to be one of the Finalists. Seeing as the production and entertainment value of his ‘cast is unmatched among any podcast I’ve ever listened to, this comes as no surprise.

Best of luck to Mike and R5 Central! Podcasting at its finest…… quite likely. ;)

Otakon Graffiti Begins…

3 08 2007

Thanks to fate, the promptings of Tyler from Rangercast and the chance to meet Ryuhei Kitamura, Mike travels to Baltimore to attend Otakon 2007. In this installment, an Industry News Recap, an interview with famed seiyuu Tomokazu Seki and a glimpse into the madness that was the Otakon Gundam Panel.

AND!
Due to confusion and chaos, Mike failed to get an interview with Ryuhei Kitamura (Although he did end up in an elevator with him). However, as a consolation, Mike did manage to get the Saturday Q and A session with the man himself. Here we hear about “Midnight Meat Train”, the future of “Versus” and how he feels about “Versus 2″-I mean “Death Trance”.
Otakon Graffiti 2.0 is on its way, stay tuned.
