I must’ve woken up in Bizarro World; that’s the only explanation. Here I am watching a Yuri anime comedy that not only isn’t perverted, but it contains an actual plot?! AND IT’S GOOD?! Yes, boys and girls, miracles can happen, and 2009’s Sasameki Koto is surely one of them.

Finish what you started…

As I have grown disappointed of the anime industry in the past year, I decided to search for a couple series that have yet to be licensed in America that were released before the “anime crash.” One show that I came across via Crunchyroll was called Skip Beat, and man is it shiny.

I find that most anime series dealing with butlers have been both successful and entertaining. Hayate the Combat Butler, They Are My Noble Masters and Kuroshitsuji are three fine examples of butler-based anime series that prove my point. When I heard about Ladies versus Butlers!, I thought I was going to watch a great comedy that would help turn the anime world away from the funk it got itself into last year. Alas, I was dead wrong.

For those of you who have been following the antics of NinjaSistah and Pandalicious for nearly four years, you don’t need anything more to convince you to listen to the latest podcast. But what if you’re new to the Sistahs? We’re trying to solve that by introducing a new video feature to the lineup with “183 Seconds With the Sistahs.”

Finish what you started…

Well, not really as this fresh Monday episode of the Electric Sista Hood podcast is just chock fulla ladies!

Pandalicious and NinJaSistah welcome guest host PyroGirl to the show to chat about the anime and manga series Shugo Chara which former host MagicMysticGrl talk about back in the day. NinJa pretty much just adds the color commentary [sometimes with a really bad "valley" impression] as both Pandalicious and PyroGirl try to impart the seriousness that is Shugo Chara. By seriousness I mean heart of people birthing eggs housing their inner selves… cute, little, chibi selves.

Shugo Chara is a hard series for me to explain so we’ll just impart a quick run down: Cat-Boy not-so-bad-baddie, hints of pedophilia, magical girl syndrome, and girls that turn out to be boys. Oh yeah, probably has some incest in there as well, but the anime series is 102 episodes deep keeping Chara from being some fly-by-night series. Need more convincing to listen to the episode? Here are some of the titles we didn’t use

• All these 80’s Movies are Turning Her Into ValleySistah
• Ferrets Steal Shiny Things Like Magpies (But Magpies Aren’t Shiny)
• For Most Eggs, Their Dreams Ends At KFC
• I Thought Keybearers Liked Small Locks
• and finally
• It’s a Good They Didn’t Mention the Incest Until Last

It is not the San Francisco treat, but it’s just as yummy… it’s a new episode of the ElectricSistaHood podcast.

In this episode of the podcast, the ladies chat about various gaming news items and answer a couple of audience questions, and it’s a good ride. We have another “what should I be for halloween” question, a question about the upcoming 2010 “Alice in Wonderland” release, and revisit how being being financially strapped in our youths has shaped how we purchase games in our adult lives from SlimTaurus78.

Randomness doesn’t escape the show, once again the Vampire/Daywalker/Twilight debate rears it’s ugly head but it is counter balanced by upcoming video game releases for the month of October, the anime series “Alice Academy” and Pandalicious rounds out the hour with her late impressions of Call of Duty 4.

Here is a better way to give you the gist of what this episode is like:

• Let’s Give Twilight the Silver Bullet
• I Want to Spit Love, Peace, and Acid
• ESHmom, sign This – Don’t Read, Just Sign
• Is Jay-Z Beyonce-Whipped?
• Where Bastards Are Found, Wenches Always Follow
• and finally
• Soap McTavish Is Not the Scottish Version of Irish Spring

Helmed by a solitary host this week, a new ESH podcast episode is born…

The Ninja girl came down with an abominable case of laryngitis that she just could not shake, so it was left to Pandalicious and Evermore to put together a great show. Would they be able to pull it off? What kind of show would they produce? First of all, of course they would pull it off, they are awesome and “B” it would almost have to be a clip show ya silly.

It’s a cutting room floor show ladies and gents, featuring all previously un-aired ESH bits like an audience question from Jerel Smith, some Portal and Portal 2 talk from Episode 107 and even Ultimate Quest podcast host Xenocore’s top 5 anime series to learn by. There is a bunch of fun tid-bits, extra tangents, and as always cursing and laughter.

Oh yeah, shameless plugs for our sibling podcast The Boston Bastard Brigade. So grab your favorite frosty and/or heated beverage of choice and enjoy Electric Sista Hood Podcast Episode 157: On Our Hands and Knees On the Cutting Room Floor
