While the girls chat about their passions and influences toward them, Ninja tries to keep up by hanging back in the corner.

If you ever sit and ponder on the idea of people of a young-ish age drinking, let this new episode of the ESH podcast be the proof you need to "just say nay!"
This week, MagicMystic returns and brings with her balance to the force while Panda and Ninja enjoy some adult juice before, during, and probably after the episode.
This episode starts with Ninja talking about the new XBLive Arcade title Go! Go! Break Steady that she keep calling "Go! Go! Beat Street" reports on some of the feelings around the industry about E3, and the hopefully triumphant return of the fighting genre on the back of Soul Calibur IV. Magic chimes in with her new found XBox-y goodness and general discovery of "the new" as she shares first impressions of her new XBox 360 Elite as well as latent desires for an XBLive account, and then Panda brings up the rear and talks about the anime and manga series, Full Metal Panic. The gals are back to normal and completely off topic as usual.
Here are some of the random things said during the show that could have been used as titles, but weren't:

First off, it's new podcast episode time again here at Electric Sista Hood, and this one is a doosie. We've always tagged our podcast as "explicit" because it would take more time to edit out crap to make it "clean enough for iTunes" than it's worth. This week's really drives this fact into the ground, so I'm taking this extra opportunity to warn you, that this episode is NOT INTENDED FOR CHILDREN TO LISTEN TO!In case you haven't caught on yet, this is episode 69 of the ESH podcast, and we figured it would only be proper to do an all hentai episode of the show. Pandalicious gives you the low down on Please Teacher and admits to a few of her own personal fetishes while MagicMystic talks about the dojinshiAlice in Sexland by Mashumaro Jyuubaori. Closing out the hour, NinJaSistah chimes in with the reasons for her preferences in hentai, and desire for at lease some semblance of plot.
It's Monday people... let's talk about sex! Kick back, throw on some headphones, and take a listen to Episode 69: This Is the Other Podcast!

Monday has once again sneaked up on us from behind with intentions of molesting your ears with a new episode of the ESH podcast.
I don't want to ruin it for you by going into too great of detail about this show right now, but Pandalicious leads off the hour with hands on review of Mario Party 8 on the Wii, and MagicMystic steps up to the M1KT to share her thoughts on Shin Megami Tensei Persona 3. Then NinJa closes out the podcast episode talking about the anime series Moon Phase, and the new Ninja Gaiden 2 trailer.
Oh yeah, we have a candy bitch. Congrats Ariel!!

In this episode, Pandalicious rants about the anime series School Rumble which happens to be a "romantic comedy" shonen while MagicMystic shares her thoughts on the manga series Flame of Recca.

This week, NinJaSistah explores the popularity of classic games through online services like the Wii virtual console, XBLive, and the Sony Online Store. Don't forget the tangents. We sure didn't.

A new podcast creation has been assembled by that crazy robot while the ESH podcast crew takes a mini vacay. I would try to describe to you what you are about to hear, but I'm not sure I understand it all myself.
What I will say is enjoy podcast episode #65: Where Do I Buy Manga?
Episode 64: We Reveal the Secret to a Womans Pants
posted by ESH NinJaSistah @ 8/26/2007 06:05:00 PM
Since it's nearly Monday and I am pooped, I decided to go ahead and post this weeks episode early as I may very well sleep the entire day away tomorrow.
Sure, sure, you may think I'm sounding like a lazy ninja, but I'm not. Every ninja worth his shuriken knows that one must heal all wounds and restore his strength before returning to a fight. That sounds so much better than just being "lazy!"
Back to this week's podcast episode. Pandalicious shares her experience with the cyberpunk comic Transmetropolitan, MagicMystic remembers the anime series Saiyuki and NinJaSistah drops the 411 on some upcoming game demos, releases, and general game deliciousness.
It's a fun day in the hood, so enjoy Episode 64: We Reveal the Secret to a Womans Pants!
It's Monday, so you know we had to put up a new episode of the podcast, right? And so we have... I give you Episode 62 of the ESH podcast!
In this episode of the podcast, the sistahs are all by themselves and spouting off about everything from Manhunt 2 to the PS3 price drop and the hot guy in a little coat manga God Child. We don't lack for tangents here in this episode of the podcast folks, so jump right in and sample the ESH goodness of Episode 62: It's Animated Violence FFS!
The Sistahs are in agreement about one thing about this week's podcast -- the topic is Naruto. And it's not just the anime series they talk about, but also the manga and the video games.
Downloads of Naruto art are among the most popular things on the ElectricSistaHood website, so it's natural that they finally devote a whole episode to the series. But the things they say! You'll just have to listen to the thing to get all the ESHland goodness as the Sistahs deliver Episode 60: The Topic is Naruto, But I Digress.
And for those of you who were wondering, here are the rejected titles for this week's podcast:
Our Naruto Episode Goes Into a TaleSpin
Naruto Sucks, But the Headband Is Cool
The Vice President Would Never Accidentally Shoot Naruto
Naruto: Believe It! It's Not Going to Suck!
Ok, so I got a little distracted by my purdy new gadget [iPhone BITCH!] and sorta kinda forgot to post this weeks podcast episode. My bad homies, my bad.
That damn phone seduced me people. It lured me away from my most treasured responsibilities, and I'm sorry. I am weak in its presence... but here's the new episode of our podcast.
Enjoy episode 56: Incest Makes Me Feel Ikkie!
Monday brings with it once again a crunchy new episode of the Electric Sista Hood podcast, and this one is just as off the wall and fun as the other ones!
All three regular hosts hop on the cast this week to bring you some info about some cool and not so cool goings on in the worlds of anime and video games. First up at bat is Panda "Stop Saying I Have Herpes" licious who shares with us her experiences with the anime Hare+Guu, which [like many anime series] is very weird.
Magic "I Forgot About the Giant Ball Monster" MysticGrl chimes in at the number two slot to share with us EVEN MORE.Hack// goodness with us by imparting her sort of found wisdom from .Hack//roots.
And bringing up the rear [as usual in this weekly menage] is NinJa "Get a Twinkie, Cuz Yer Gonna Need Brain Food" Sistah dropping her 2cents on the whole Manhunt 2 debacle.
Yeap! Grab yourself a Twinkie and something to drink, Episode 55: Welcome to the Eyefor Towel is up and running!
Mmmm, Monday morning new podcast episode freshness coming right at ya folks!
The girls are back after a quick mini vacation with a new podcast episode that covers [among other things] the anime series Peach Girl, the works of Mayu Shinjo [including Akuma Na Eros and Love Celeb, and the XB360 title Bullet Witch.
Tune into this weeks episode to find learn more about all of that stuff plus get the answers to other questions. Questions like, are worms kosher? Does Pandalicious watch hentai with her mom? Can we go an episode without mentioning Bleach
So give Episode 52: The Darkness Tells Me To Hurt Puppies a listen, you'll enjoy it.
Episode 51: The Vatican's Vampire Has a Drinking Problem
posted by evermore @ 5/21/2007 11:46:00 AM
It's podcast time once again and the Sistahs have a lively show for you this week. You can get a load of it right here.Pandalicious takes the Mic of a Thousand Truths (M1KT) and talks about an anime she really hates: Baki the Grappler. In her own words, "It's not a Happy Funtime in Panda's pants," which was almost the name of this podcast.
NinjaSistah reports on a much better property: the anime and manga of Trinity Blood. Although Pandalicious has never seen it, Ninja's description of the anime made Panda anxious to catch the series.
It's typical ESH goodness, so don't miss it.
With a new Monday nearly upon us it seems only fitting to hit you up with a new episode of the Electric Sista Hood podcast.
This week, the whole gang gets together to chat about [among other things] Yaoi vs. Yuri [wikipedia that stuff if you don't know what it means] MagicMysticGrl shares with us one more example of where the manga version of a title is better than the anime version with her take on Air Gear. Then NinJaSistah brings the show home with her 40 second review of Virtua Fighter 5 for the PS3 and then dives head first into her latest anime obsession, Phantom Memory Kurau.
It's a fun episode. We yell at each other as usual, and maybe have a profund-ish thought or two. But let me assure you, it's not about a chicken.
So grab a fresh cup of joe, and enjoy Episode 47: The Physiology of Donuts.
It's Monday, so you know what that means: a new episode of the ESH podcast has been edited and submitted for your approval.
In this episode of the podcast Pandalicious shares her take on the World of Warcraft: The Sunwell Trilogy manga series by Jae Hwan Kim, and NinJaSistah sheds some light on the Ubisoft game Rayman Raving Rabbids.
It's fun, it's fast, it's Episode 42: WoW, Wii have an addiction!
First off, it's
