On this episode, the club jumps into their first foray with City Hunter, as no one on the podcast is that familiar with the series. Join Dennis, Ed, Kate, and returning guests Pat of The Pat Chat podcast & Chika from the award winning Shoujo Sundae Podcast, as we cover City Hunter Movie 1: .357 Magnum. Ryo Saeba's pervertedness is cranked to eleven, as a famed pianist is caught in a cold war between East and West Gariela. The action is intense, the music is bopping, the bullets are flying, and Kaori's hammers are pounding (Ryo Saeba's head that is). The first of three movies we're covering, come hang with us for a bit in the mean streets of Tokyo.
Special thanks to Pat (@patloika) & Chika (@chikasupreme) for joining us this epsiode! And check out their respective podcasts The Pat Chat & Shoujo Sundae (@shoujosundae)

On this episode of the podcast, join Ed, Sam, Dennis, & Karen for their discussion about 1989's Wrath of the Ninja: The Yotoden Movie. It's actually a compilation film based on a three episode OVA series. Talking points include how three ninjas come together, ninja names might be hard to remember but ninja powers aren't, Nobunaga's anti-Buddha stance, crossing the streams, and comparing this to Ninja Scrolll but in a good way.
