Download Episode #33!

It's March Madness with a loaded podcast! Kent and Shamus talk about Mamou Hosoda's latest film, The Boy and The Beast, which they just saw in theaters. Not only that, they discuss the effect of illegal streaming sites on the anime industry and fans stepping up to make a couple recent kickstarters for classic anime very successful.

The Final Stretch For Production I.G's "Kick-Heart!"

About two weeks ago, we at Propeller Anime began our push to support "Kick-Heart," a unique anime project created by the famous production I.G with Masaki Yuasa as the the director. This would be the first anime to ever be crowd funded, using kickstarter as it's primary means of donations.

Since then, the project has succeeded in not only being funded, but it's even reached it's first stretch goal! But we're not done yet, folks! At midnight tonight, there is still one more stretch goal and it's a significant one!

Help fund Production I.G's "Kick-Heart," dammit!

The famed Production I.G - the studio behind Patlabor, Ghost in the Shell, Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade, Dead Leaves, and even Mass Effect: Paragon Lost - want to make a new, experimental anime project and they need our help!
