Hey folks, Sylene here! Hacking the podcast feed real quick to deliver a bit of a short message. It’s tied into the crisis in Japan and some words of reassurance from an old friend….

This Week:
Not a new episode. Rather, it’s something a bit more special: Mike’s contribution to Anime82‘s Mecha Madness podcast extravaganza in the form of a review of Choudenji Machine Voltes V!

This Week:
It’s the end of Series 5…and possibly R5 Central for all of 2010?! To take things out, Mike salvages what is left of this much-delayed episode by tag-teaming with Paul “Igadevil” Sullivan to have a free-form discussion about Kikaider The Animation–is it truly as controversial as the fans made it out to be, is it even worth the trouble? We’ll try to figure it out here!
This Week:
Anticipation is hyped for the new Ultraman movie, Mega-Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy Legends, set to come out next month! Through chance, Mike finds the time to chat with yet ANOTHER Mike: Mike Verta, the film’s composer! In this short but sweet (and exclusive!) interview, Mike tells R5 about himself and lets us in on what went into creating the soundtrack behind this epic new adventure in the Ultra Series!

This Week:
To ring in the Halloween season, Mike and Ai take a literal stab into the Vampire craze by praising the solution the problem: Vampire Hunters. More specifically, a short and sweet “Lite Episode” review of Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust.

This Week:
In an age where Godzilla lies dormant, the fans have taken the stage and given birth to The New Age of Monsters! R5 Central examines the phenomenon by reviewing “Negadon, The Monster From Mars” and interviewing one of the minds behind the forthcoming German Kaiju-Inspired audio drama, Gualagon!
This Week:
It took us long enough! Sylene and Ai team-up to unleash an extended shoutout reel, featuring the likes of Kyle Hebert, Little Miss Gamer, Benu from Anime Genesis, and more! Also in the mix is a never-before-heard gag reel from Series 4 and 5, and a surprise cameo appearance that will make you freak!
