    Hi guys!
    I recently (around ep. 120) found your podcast, and been listening to it ever since.
    Since
    I don’t know many people who are into current anime, I tremendously
    enjoy listening to your guys discussions and ramblings.

    Now, the main reason I comment today:

    Summer review – Why u no mention Uta Koi?

    It’s
    my definitely one of my favourites this season – but aside from the
    summer preview, I don’t remember it being discussed much in your
    podcast, I was hoping that at least in the review/wrap-up it’d be
    mentioned.

    So, what happened? Who dropped it and why? As far as I remember, ep.1 was just okay, but from ep.2 I knew that I had hit gold.

    It
    just seems strange that no one of you would like the show, especially
    since for the rest I mostly agree with your opinion about the other
    shows, so our interest don’t seem to be so different.

    Greetz,

      I just think none of us really clicked with that show. Also there are always shows that we like during the preview, but don’t get around to watching. Time constraints just prevent me from watching some titles. I might end up watching it at a later, but for now I don’t really see my self doing it. I did watch episode 2, but I am just not a huge fan of historical shows.

        Well yeah, I get that – I still have to watch Space Bros, which I dropped after ep.2
        I will give that another shot though.

        Keep up the good work!

      Sorry for the super late reply. I actually watched quite a bit of Utakoi, up to about the halfway point. I actually thought the show was pretty charming, well done, and quite funny. The only issue I had was that I was in the end just watching too many shows, so once I fell behind a bit (and started to run out of hard drive space, I just decided to drop it. Not because it was bad or anything, mind you. Glad you did enjoy it.

      Speaking of shows I forgot to mention, Humanity in Decline was a brilliant show that I loved all the way through and finished, it’s just that since I knew I was the only one watching it and because of how our conversation was structured this time around, it just slipped my mind. Hell, another show that completely slipped my mind was Gundam AGE! An entire year watching it, it finally ends, and I completely forget it. With the old format where we just went down the list talking about each show in turn, we didn’t miss anything, but things tended to get long in the tooth.

      Still though, really glad you’re listening, and we certainly hope you stick around for more.
