This episode was finished a while ago, but has not been uploaded until now… So if the information is out of date, it’s thanks to my bad habit of procrastinating and being a victim of the winter blues. Sorry… D;

The official first episode of the podcast edition of CEN.TAKU.ME is out! In this episode, a podcast version of “Anime at Large” is discussed. What anime series has been “captured” by myself and put in my collection (jail), and an oldie, but a really a new game: Dragon Ball Online.

Show Notes

Anime at Large
The concept of the “Anime at Large” series of posts is explained, and in the two years of the series, I go over the series I’ve finally caught thanks to special perks and the evolution of (legal) online streams.

Dragon Ball Online [Impressions]

Talked about two years ago on the blog, the online Dragonball game everyone has been waiting for… maybe. The first Dragonball MMORPG, Dragon Ball Online was released in South Korea mid-Spring 2010. It has yet to see the light of day in North America—including Japan.

Ni-Ongaku Spotlight
The first attempt of a music segment on the podcast. Ni-Ongaku (J-Music) Spotlight features music from independent Japanese artists (I could just play Anime music, but we’ll play it (pod)safe for now. Besides, J-Indies are awesome! ^_^)

After being asked, asking around, and contemplating, I’ve decided to branch out to the audio world. Well, here it is! The pilot episode of the official CEN.TAKU.ME Podcast! Be warned: this is my first attempt at recording an original podcast, so please bear with me. D;

Show Notes

In the pilot episode of the podcast, I, Sanjo-chan, introduce myself to the podcast world. I explain how I got this far into blogging, how “CEN.TAKU.ME” was created, and how I became an Anime fan one decade ago.

I apologize if I sounds like I’m speaking too fast. I plan on getting better as the show goes along! 私わがんばってよ！

There’s not much to hear, but I’m testing the podcast waves to see how things turn out. If I remember correctly, the actual first episode in in the works! The next episode should be better than this as there will be a solid topic to talk about. ^^

Also, I also want to get this to iTunes soon when the feed “kicks in” to optimize for FeedBurner… ^^;
