Today's amazing adjective is NIKUI, which is used to modify verbs to make it "difficult to verb." This is a great Japanese lesson for beginning/beginner learners.

The crowd at the Cannon Busters premiere at Otakon. Evan, Clarissa, Gerald, and Daryl are up in front. Evan and David went to Otakon 2016, but David got an early train out of town, so Evan had to settle for a huge supergroup of podcasters and bloggers in this post-Otakon show.

Evan managed to convince David to watch Erased, so this episode the hosts sit down with freelance video producer Bill Zoeker (currently working at Crunchyroll) to talk about the popular anime series. Having an extra person on the show and having a series with so much to talk about resulted in us going WAY overtime, so this episode is almost two hours long! Topics include fish tails vs. fish heads on a mermaid/merman, the power of #branding in Shadow of Mordor, and whether the weird age differences in Erased are more or less OK than the one in Garden of Words.

We talked about two notable creators on Gundam: Yoshiyuki Tomino, creator of Gundam and director of the original series; and Yoshikazu Yasuhiko, character designer of the original series and manga artist of The Origin. Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor is available on PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Mac. Triton of the Sea is available from Digital Manga Publishing. Evan mentioned Osamu Tezuka’s “Star System,” an explanation of which is available on Tezuka in English. The term “gekiga” refers to an alternative style of more hardboiled and/or down-to-earth manga popularized in the wake of Tezuka’s success in the 1950s and ’60s — notable artists include Yoshihiro Tatsumi and Takao Saito. Tezuka himself sought to copy the style once it started to gain traction, though Triton doesn’t exactly fall within the artist’s series of “dark,” more adult works. Erased is streaming on Crunchyroll, FUNimation, and Daisuki. Twitter: Ani-Gamers, Evan, David Evan hosts the Crunchycast podcast on Crunchyroll and writes for Otaku USA Magazine.
