Monday is here again, and so is a new episode of the ESH podcast. The girl team is complete on this one so expect randomness galore this hour and change.

The episode kicks off with Pandalicious and MagicMystic discussing how they came to love and specialize on the topics they, well, are experts on here at camp ESH. [In case you are new to the game, Panda shows anime some love while Magic takes us down the dark and [every once and a while] psychotic path of manga. While the girls chat about their passions and influences toward them, Ninja tries to keep up by hanging back in the corner.

When the dust settles, NinJaSistah jumps into the conversation to talk about the resurgence of the Science Fiction genre in mainstream entertainment and the pros and cons of it's new found popularity. It's another weird and wacky episode guys, check out the titles we didn't use for this one:

Finish What You Start...

It's the story about a MagicMystik who wasn't listening, a Ninja making profane T-shirts for children and a Panda who just couldn't wait. You might think of it as the latest episode of the ElectricSistaHood podcast, but we prefer to think of it as just another slice of life.

Magic starts it out by talking about the manga "Pet Shop of Horrors" and Ninja and Panda finish it up by giving their love to the new Soul Caliber IV. In between all that, they present another hour of hilarity for all of you.

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:

• Wallmart, Baby Come Back!
• The Big "E" Is Big
• MagicMystic Is Back, And Out Of The Closet
• Jobless Wonder To The Rescue-ish

NinJaSistah takes the mic first this go 'round to speak on a topic near and dear to her heart, Ninja Gaiden II. From new visuals, lamest ninja name ever, to best and worst aspects of initial gameplay NinJa brings the sexy black. I mean back.

Then Pandalicious talks about her newly addicted Wii Fit experience. The yoga that is easy, what the game is and is not, and how it affects her daily life.

LAUNCH
The podcast kicked off in 2006 with the first episode being released on May 3rd, and we have been cranking them out ever since. Over 100 total released shows [We have done a bunch of My Top Fives people] ESH has really grown into something unexpected, but ultimately an insane amount of fun to do.
 In this episode of the podcast we talk about how we got to be two years old.

CHANGE
I launched the site in April of 06 as SplendidBlunder.com. Originally, the idea was to have a space on the web to create, post, mix, and remix other people’s GarageBand projects. It was going to be a playground for Panda and I, and while we were having all of our conversations about the setup, we kept wasting time talking about Video games and anime.

GROWTH
We realized quickly that we wouldn’t be able to do just the site or the podcast alone, and began recruiting our more than geeky friends to join the family. The first recruit was MagicMystic, then came Evermore, MonkeyDoo, Douceswild, GeekWoman, madameRoslin, theAdmiral, colonelPanic, and most recently KingBabyDuck.
We started out small, with only 1000 people on average hitting the site, and now, we do quite a bit better. I figure it has to be the crazy that keeps them coming back, because there is definitely nothing out there like us.

We will be making autographed DVD’s featuring all of the podcast episodes over the last two years available on the ESH site shortly.

We thank you for your attention, and toast to another hundred. Enjoy podcast episode number 100: Go Team Venture!

ESH goes to the movies in this week's podcast and you won't believe how much Magic hates the new Indiana Jones film.

The Sistahs use Magic's bad review as a springboard for their dislike of most of the bad movies based on videogames and how much they wish there were more films like Iron Man and fewer like the last X-Man film.

Here are the titles we rejected for this week's show:

Indiana Jones and the Cake Is a Lie

Fluffy Man Boa? Not Today

Chia Pet Naruto -- Believe It!

FYI: Russia Is a Damn Cold Place

George Lucas Can Still FuX Things Up

Next, Ninjasistah and Pandalicious discuss their love for the gangsters, ho's and bitches in Grand Theft Auto IV. Sure, the game's violent and profane, but also loveable in its own twisted way.

Along the way, Panda even coins a new word: V'jayhole. You'll have to hear it to believe it.

In anticipation of Mother's Day next weekend, we've put together a very special episode of ElectricSistaHood (and we swear that, unlike Blossom, nobody's pregnant). You can listen to it right here.

The episode's a conglomeration of excerpts, both from the regular podcast and stuff that came from outtakes and pre-show antics, that feature conversations about and with the mother of Pandalicious and Ninjasistah, as well as an excerpt with MagicMysticGrl's mom.

Here's a impromptu poem for ESHmom:

M is for the Many times we taped her,
O means that this joke is getting Old.
T is for the Teasing that we gave her,
H means that Hell is getting cold.
E is for the Euros Panda's needing,
R means you aRen't going to get a break.

Put them all together, they spell MOTHER.
And your daughter Panda's on the take.

We've interspersed the comments about ESHmom in this podcast with messages from 2007 to the mothers of a fourth grade class at Hoover Elementary School (probably in Council Bluffs, Iowa). The messages are a great counterpoint to the Sistah's comments. If you want to hear more of these messages, just look for them at archive.org.

The gang will be recording a new episode next week, so look forward to that. In the meantime, please enjoy this behind-the-scenes tribute to ESHmom and all moms everywhere as we present Episode 96: M Is For the Many Times I Taped You.

You say you want a revolution, well, you know... we aren't here to change the world. Monday still equals new podcast episode day, and I don't see that changing anytime too soon.

In this episode of the podcast, the girls cover the popular creative peoples website, "Deviant Art" as well as the anime series "Vampire Knight" and examine the possible effect GTA IV may have on the national release of the "Iron Man" film. We are chock full of something on this episode people, and I think it just may possibly be caffeine. Don't quote me on that one though, just check out the titles we didn't use for this episode and draw your own conclusions:

• OC BC Does Not Equal AC/DC
• Everyone Is Social On Da InterWebs

Finish What You Start...

Pam grew up on stories her grandmother told, stories of a kind devil she'd fallen in love with. So, one day after school Pam uses a summoning square her grandmother taught her in the hopes of summoning a kind demon of her own. Unfortunately, she's pulled into the square and sent to another world.



Pam has accidentally landed in the land of the spirits. Almost immediately she is attacked by an angel, Linfa, who looks identical to her best friend back home, but is rescued by a mysterious man by the name of Remi. He tells Pam that there are no humans in the Spirit World, including her. Looking in a mirror, Pam sees that she's grown horns and a tail. Chaos ensues and somehow Pam ends up in a school for devils where everyone thinks she's a bit crazy and a lot dense. Pam doesn't know even the basics about the Spirit World, doesn't have a familiar and is willing to help anybody out, all in all she's a very strange stray devil. In this world where karmic consequences are enforced on devils and angels that work together, Pam works to become a full fledged demon, and to build a relationship with the angel that looks so very much like her best friend. Unfortunately for everyone in the spirit world, Pam also seems to have been summoned for a reason and may hold the key to saving them all from destruction.



This series is something I picked up a while ago in a bookstore, but I finally got my hands on all 5 volumes at AB this year. This is in no way a serious manga. Pam is stupid, klutzy and very socially awkward. She regularly helps Linfa out, only to be hospitalized later for the karmic consequences. Pam is one of those stupid nice girls so common to shoujo manga, and true to form she eventually ends up melting everyone's hearts. I personally hate characters like that, and suspect the real reason I like this manga so much is the abuse that she goes through due to her personality. (Also, the guy she eventually gets as a familiar is hawt) She is regularly dropped off cliffs, has giant rocks dropped on her, kicked with soccer-balls, attacked by animals, dropped out of trees, electrocuted etc. She even falls for a banana peel/ankle rope/water bucket combo trick. The not-so-little sadist in me *Squee*s with glee everytime she does something nice for Linfa, because I know the inevitable follow-up is coming.

If you actually like characters like Pam, or if you enjoy seeing them bite the dirt like I do, I recommend you check this one out. It's only 5 volumes and is a very quick read. Stray Little Devil is by Kotaro Mori and is published by DrMaster.

As Panda noted, the lines at AB were made of Epic Fail this year. On the plus side, when you get 10,000 people sitting around in a corridor for 7-9 hours they come up with interesting ways to amuse themselves.

Corridor antics included such things as 'The Game'. The rules of TG aren't unfamiliar to me, but I've never seen it played on such a scale before. TG is one part Pink Elephants one part Fight Club. Playing TG is simple, breaking into the game, not so much. When you hear people hollering down the corridors or across the Artists Alley "I lost The Game!" your first instinct is to ask "What game?" In that moment they have you and they have won. The first rule of TG, don't talk about TG. This leads to many, many people asking what it is and very few people willing to explain it. The second rule is don't think about TG. The moment you think about TG you've lost TG and have to shout out your loss. As an element of mind control, once you mention TG everyone in hearing distance will automatically start thinking about it and will also lose and have to shout out that they lost as well. It's quite a bit like giant radioactive brain spam-mail that automatically forwards itself to everyone in your contacts list.

As always there was lots and lots of bad singing in the hallways as well. The common favorites were Still Alive from Portal and I Know a Song (That Gets on Everybody's Nerves) because they were both included in the AMV finalists this year. A confused few forgot the song that gets on everybody's nerves and instead sang the song that never ends. Other serenades included, Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny (started by yours truly), various theme songs and the ever popular PIRATE! NINJA! and MARCO! POLO! chants.

Every time a P/N chant would flare up I'd calmly bide my time until everything had settled down a bit and then would holler SHINIGAMI! at the top of my lungs. It's very important to me that I always have the last word. Other random 'hall'erings included SO I HEER U LIEK MUDKIPS! and OVER NINE THOUSAND!

So despite the lines having OVER NINE THOUSAND! people in them, AB2K8 reaffirmed my belief that if you get that many (it was actually over 9 thousand) dorks, geeks, nerds and socially unacceptable misfits together you're gonna have fun. Even if you're just waiting in line.

Finish What You Start...

In which a Ruffled vigilante, diabetes immune doll and pacifist berserker run a clothing store and fight demons.

One day, a young girl named Sumire accidentally pricks her finger on a strange broach and is suddenly able to see demons, called Viruses. Of course, she immediately gets attacked by one. Coming to her aid, a young woman dressed in Goth-loli with an eyepatch dispatches the demon. The frilly pirate, Lucia, runs a clothing store/detective agency, Venus Vanguard, and she recruits Sumire to help her rid the world of Viruses. Lucia uses special anti-virus bullets and during a mission she accidentally shoots Sumire who goes berserk and kills the virus with her bare hands. Enter some badguys pulling all the strings from the wings, a soulless doll that won't stop eating chocolate and Lucia's tragic backstory and you've got a glimpse into the world of Venus Versus Virus.

This is a pattern anime through and through. Nothing in it was new or revolutionary, and 99% of it was easy to predict. None of the 'twists' surprised me, but that doesn't mean that I was disappointed. Sometimes it's nice to sit down and watch something that doesn't require you to think. Knowing in advance what's going to happen isn't always a bad thing either, anticipation is half the fun. This anime had me getting all exited when I knew shit was gonna go down and then turning to the empty air beside me to say "See! I TOLD you that was gonna happen." There's something very satisfying about lording it over the void sitting next to you. Like hearing an old familiar fairy tale. I mean, people are never going to stop remaking favorites like Cinderella, and I will always be right there waiting to read/see it again. This anime was like that. It's a story I've seen many times before and it was nice to see it again without actually having to watch the same title.

I love berserkers. For example, I hate both Ichigo and Naruto but squeal like a fangirl on crack laced with helium whenever they go Kyuubi-ish or Vizard. There's just something really awesome about a character that'll rip up their best friends like tissue paper. So, despite her over naivete and sickeningly sweet personality, I have a bit of a soft spot for Sumire. Another reason I really like her is that she has to frikkin shoot herself to use her power. Some of you may not remember, but a few months ago I talked about Persona 3 in the podcast and I raved about the same thing there. The main characters all had to shoot themselves to release their powers. I think that it's an awesome concept and I find it utterly hilarious to watch them shoot themselves.

I'd give Venus Versus Virus a 3.5 since it's the same ol' same old, but still worth a look. It's 12 episodes long and is currently being released in the US by ADV Films. Some pink for being cutsy, some teal for being just a tiny bit cool, some red for violence and an itsy bit of black cuz technically demons are scary.

I'm sure you've noticed by now that we haven't put up a new episode of the podcast. And we won't be putting one up this week, and for good reason.

As you may or may not know, Pandalicious took very ill suddenly and quite unexpectedly. For a while there it was a very precarious situation, but I'm happy to report that she has been released from the hospital into the pampering care of our mother. In recent weeks you may have also noticed MagicMystic missing from the podcast on a regular basis as well. Magic has been dealing with some life issues [you know, accepting the need for a day job, and all that crap] and has been unable to make our recording sessions on a regular basis. Hey, life comes at you fast and sometimes you can't duck that mofo. So with both of the girls down this week, not to do a podcast. I could have recorded a top 5 by myself [I had the topic together and everything] but I felt like, in these circumstances not doing one without the girls would just be wrong.

An ESH podcast so close to the holidays just isn't as fun without the sistahs.

So call me lame, call me old fashioned, hell, you can call me lazy... but one thing I am is missing my girls

We will be back to normal-ish next week on the podcast tip, until then... enjoy the jewels and reviews coming at you this week!

It's yet another clip show, but this time we're joined at the mic by videogaming superstar Mario. He adds his 2 cents worth as we present some of the best comments about videogaming from earlier episodes of the ESH podcast.

In this episode, we concentrate on the subjects the Sistahs love talking about most: videogame addition, the controversy about violence in games, what it's like to be a girl gamer and the platform wars. And, of course, the sistahs talk about Boonga-Boonga.

So join Mario and the ESH regulars as they present the best in videogame talk in Episode 72: Super Mario Brothers and Sistahs.

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!!
