Drops of God and two Movies
Tonight on GeekNights, we review the manga Drops of God, now in print in English from Vertical. We then briefly review Welcome to the Space Show and Children Who Chase Lost Voices from Deep Below (two anime movies definitely worth watching). But before that, we GeekBite the underrated Wolverine and the X-Men and we discuss the devastating news that Satoshi Kon's last (unfinished) work - The Dream Machine - has ceased production.
Be sure to check out our many lectures and other videos from PAX East 2011 and Pax Prime 2012 on the Youtube channel. We will be at Nerd Nite this Thursday presenting an abbreviated version of "Losing Should be Fun," nevermind MAGFest!
- Rym's Thing - Sentinels Can't do Anything Right
- Scott's Thing - Mr Hipp Strikes!
Final Thoughts: Puella Magi Madoka Magica
Tonight on GeekNights, we present our final thoughts (spoilers!) on the fantastic and recent Puella Magi Madoka Magica. It is safe to say that this is one of the better shows we've seen in recent memory. But first, we geekbite issue #1 of Justice League! Also, since Madoka is on the mind, check out this interview with Atsuhiro Iwakami.
- Rym's Thing - Link with a Portal Gun
- Scott's Thing - Fat Tabby
Arrietty the Borrower
Tonight on GeekNights, we consider Studio Ghibli's Arrietty the Borrower (借りぐらしのアリエッティ). In the news, Redline is now available on Booray with English subtitles in Japan, and Black Dynamite has a cartoon.

Anime We Want to See
Tonight on GeekNights, we consider the anime we want to see other than Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Third Gig. Otakon was this past weekend and Frank Miller was at Comic Con.
- Rym's Thing - Sailor Moon English
- Scott's Thing - Scary Go Round Photostream
Galaxy Express 999 Movie
Tonight on GeekNights, we consider our recent rewatching of the Galaxy Express 999 movie, recently remastered and re-released. Otakon is next weekend, and while we won't be there, Makoto Shinkai and his newest work -- Hoshi o Ou Kodomo -- will be. SDCC is this weekend, it's really, really hot, and Scott's reading Lady Sabre & the Pirates of the Ineffable Aether.
- Scott's Thing - Warm Today
- Rym's Thing - MLP:FIM Opener as Girls
Anime Only Rym or Scott has Seen
Tonight on GeekNights, we consider anime and comics that only Rym, or only Scott, has seen. In order (surprisingly), we thus present Wolverine, Iron Man, X-Men, Galaxy Railways, Birdy the Mighty: Decode, Votoms, Scrapped Princess, Patlabor,
Odoru Daisosasen/Bayside Shakedown (which we've actually both seen), The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Irresponsible Captain Tylor, 7 Billion Needles, Urusei Yatsura (manga), Ranma 1/2, and Rose of Versailles.
But before all of that, Spiderman is dead, AKB48's newest member is fake, and Makoto Shinkai's studio is looking cloud and power line interns.
- Rym's Thing - It's Dragonite, Bitch!
- Scott's Thing - Mameshiba
