Up a Paddle - Episode 82 - Busting Makes Me Feel Good

This week I talk about the "dark spectre of moe"*, manga possessing your cell phone and I review Ghostbusters for the PS3.

News
According to one poll, otaku guys prefer moe and otaku gals prefer robot shows.  I have obtained a video of the horrible future that will result when the two ideas are inevitably combined to form a marketing juggernaut in Japan:


Shueisha to sell manga on US Phones next year.  If I had bothered to re-read the article before talking about it on the podcast, I would have realized that Shueisha is partnering up with Microsoft to do this, so their manga will most likely not be appearing on the iPhone.  Nuts, and I'm all set to get one when my current contract expires.

Fun Video of the Episode
I didn't actually mention this video in the episode but I think it's fitting.

It was an all right cartoon but it just wasn't the Ghostbusters.
