In the Method to Madness podcast, I’m joined with my good friend Kevin “The Business” Gray to discuss great anime and video games that you should be watching as well as ones you should feel ashamed you are watching.
This episode, we discuss…
Favorites from 2009
2009 was apparently the year of the cow. I don’t know who decides these things other than “some ancient Chinese guy”, but they remain to be true.
Kevin and I decided, as we enter Y2K+10, to reflect a bit on the samples of anime exposed to us in 2009 that sustain our faith in the genre. These shows weren’t necessarily produced or released in 2009, but it is when we discovered them. In a generation of anime lousy with perverse mediocrity, a few diamonds shine through the rough.
The video clip below is not from any of them, but it is cow-related and ridiculous.
As it happens, 2010 is the year of the tiger.

Very good picks! The tops for me this year were Black Lagoon and Guin Saga.
I did really like what I saw of Eve no Jikan, very post-modern to the point it reminded me of Bladerunner. The scenes where they go through what’s playing on tv really did it for me. Reminded me how in Cowboy Bebop they basically built up the setting through what was playing on TV. Very cool!
