This has been a long time coming for I guess all of us, at least in terms of Complex Age. Apryll has a pull quote on the back of the volumes, and Helen and I previously covered volume one over on Taiiku. If it hasn’t been obvious yet, our current series we’re covering in this episode is Yui Sakuma’s Complex Age published by Kodansha. And our classic series is Nobuaki Tadano’s 7 Billion Needles published by Vertical. That song you heard at the top of the episode was “29” by Run River North. As always, you can find me on Twitter @ImpassionateK, and my co-hosts Helen (@WanderinDreamr) and Apryll (@manjiorin) on Twitter at those places in the parenthesis. You can find both of their writing at The Organization of Anti-Social Geniuses, more of Helen’s writing at Narrative Investigations, and my writing at the Fandom Post. Listen Show notes: 0:56 – We talk about 7 Billion Needles! 15:54 – We talk about Complex Age! Next time is Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind and Sweet Blue Flowers!
Welcome to episode five! We’re halfway to a milestone. Around this time in the Taiiku Podcast, I imagine I sort of had an idea of what the heck I was doing, and rolled with it. Then I learned a bunch of stuff I was doing wrong over the subsequent months, and general improving at editing, which I’m sure will be the case again come three years from now. But I digress. This time, we’re talking about Izumi Tsubaki’s Monthly Girls’ Nozaki-kun published by Yen Press and Satoshi Mizukami’s The Lucifer and Biscuit Hammer published by Seven Seas. The song you heard at the top of the episode is “Kimi Janakya Dame Mitai” by Masayoshi Ōishi from the Monthly Girls’ Nozaki-kun anime. As always, you can find me on Twitter @ImpassionateK, and my co-hosts Helen (@WanderinDreamr) and Apryll (@manjiorin) on Twitter at those places in the parenthesis. You can find both of their writing at The Organization of Anti-Social Geniuses, more of Helen’s writing at Narrative Investigations, and my writing at the Fandom Post. Listen Show notes: 0:40 – We talk about The Lucifer and Biscuit Hammer! 20:07 – We talk about Monthly Girls’ Nozaki-kun! Next time is 7 Billion Needles and Complex Age!
