This week we welcome a special guest-host, Theory From the Closet host Clyde Rhoer! While Clyde is primarily known as an RPG podcaster, he’s also something of a Japanophile and offered to help us pick apart Noboru Iguchi’s 2009 gonzo flick RoboGeisha.
We also discuss the latest news about the FUNimation 1337 lawsuit, FUNimation’s current financial state, and even chat a bit about Joss Whedon’s Firefly.
(Note: No, we didn’t forget about Epsiode 14 – it’s done and ready to release. We simply felt that, given the time-sensitive nature of some of the material in this episode, it would be best to release it quickly. Episode 14 will follow shortly.)

What the HELL did I just watch? Japanese people in blackface would be bad enough, but leave it to the Japanese to never do anything halfway. That was seriously disturbing.
