An Almighty Anime Mailbag
Koneko-kitsune –
Hey guys & ladies, love the show. The other week you spoke about familiars
and I have 2 questions.
1) In the anime The 12 Kingdoms, Keiki has those 2 fierce wolf-like
youma and Taiki has that super shapeless shadow youma. Would they
count as familiars to the Kirin?
2) I’m not sure who, but someone mentioned human familiars. In Sakura
Card Captors, would Yue- that smexy he/she moon guy- count as a
familiar to Sakura?
Yotaru Vegeta –
If Mitsugi only had enough time to kick one entire cast into a pit
leading straight to firey hell, would he pick Hetalia or Twilight?
Aeru –
Ciao, I’m Aeru.
I don’t know if this was a previous topic, I have not gotten through
all your episodes yet(shame on me.)
but what is your take on anime(or video games),being turned into live
action movies?
For instance, the rumored live action Cowboy Bebop

Solrogue – “Hey AAApodcasters
I recently thought about my childhood when I visited Mexico and I
remembered that I watched Dragon Ball Z for the first time other
there. Then I realized whether if there is a Anime fan base over in
foreign countries that are noticeable there as in the U.S. I want your
guys’ input about how foreign countries (besides U.S.A. And Japan) see
Anime as what it is.”

DevilSurvivor writes: “Hey Anime Addicts,
As requested here are some mailbag questions:
1.What is the first anime you remember watching?
2.Can each of you recommend your favorite uncensored hentai series?(if
its not show safe, please answer on next hentai episode)
3.If you could kill any anime character who would it be? Personally I
would go into EVA and take a katana and stab Shinji through the heart
and end the annoyance that is his existence.
– Main Topic 1 –
| Hot | Not- Hot |
| Revy (Black Lagoon) This one can go really wrong, but when it goes right, its really right | Meroko(Full Moon) You know a cosplay is not-hot when a super hot asian woman wears it and you’re still “meh” |
| Rikku (FFX) If you google “rikku cosplay” the girls which appear generally have 3 things in common – tits, tinyness and bikinis | Sailor Moon (Sailor Moon) Even the best cosplayers aren’t really hot |
| Stockings (Panty and Stockings) Thigh Highs = Win, Panty is good too, while we’re at it | Faye Valentine (Cowboy Bebop) Even if you are HOT super hot, it still somehow messes you up. Man Faye doesn’t help either |
| Sebastian (Black Butler) Fairly sexy to begin with members of both genders can enjoy sexy cosplay of this character | Chii (Chobits) Man Chii… enough said |
| Catherine (Catherine) One that is SOOO easy to mess up, when it is done right, rawr | Spike (Cowboy Bebop) Lanky white boy with a fro, great in theory, rarely great in practice |
Not traditional “hot” a good Haruhi cosplayer has cute and quirky nailed down | Vash the Stampede (Trigun) The hair, you just, cannot do the hair. Sorry boys, it either looks like a messed up afro or a torture device |
| Nami (One Piece) A show that revolves around the beach, sort of, lends itself to many hot cosplay costumes | Lucy (Elfen Lied) They say simple cosplays are the hardest to pull off… we agree |
| Yoko (Gurren Lagann) For those TWO PERCENT of ladies out there who can pull this off…. Thank you | Piccolo(DBZ) Now it could be debated if Piccolo is “hot” to begin with, but saying he is anytime you have full body paint, body prosthetics, and a number of other add-ons its very hard to pull off hotness even if its a good cosplay |
| Major Kusanagi (Ghost in the Shell) Legs, legs, and more legs, oh with a touch of badass | Hikaru Hitachiin Twins (Ouran High Host Club) The Host Club boys are near impossible to pull off in their original hot glory |
| Tifa ( the right way) Big boooobies!! | Nanami (Utena) It is hard to look hot when dressed in a canary yellow suit |
| Chi Twins??!?! (Chobits) Two for One sales win, every time. | Nausicaa (Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind) What makes Nausicaa hot is her inner strength and confidence, this does not translate well to photographs resulting in sub-part hotness cosplay |
| Deedlet (Record of Lodos War) Another case where the original character is so viciously hot that all cosplay pales in comparison | |
| Millie Thompson (trigun) When you have a kind of homely character to begin with, you get this | |

What is a familiar? Often times its that little furry annoying thing that tags along with the main character and does nothing other than look cute at best. We talk about the familiars we would like to put in a blender, and some we’d spare.

| mooseman263 | Hey guys, first of I gotta start by telling you your show is great and keep up the good work! Although I was wondering if you guys know of any anime that have very well choreographed fight scenes like samurai champloo, cowboy bebop (spike vs. Viscious) etc. It seems that the quality of action scenes has gone down, what do you think? Thanks! |
| Kenshiko33 | I watched Xam’d Lost Memories on Netflix the other day and I loved it. The reason I am writing to you is that it so closely resembled a Miyazaki/Ghibli film I was blown away. Do you guys also see the similarities in art, story, and character design, and is there a connection between the studios? |

Definition of a Familiar – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Familiar_spirit
Pierre A. Riffard proposed this definition and quotations[4]
A familiar spirit (alter ego, doppelgänger, personal demon, personal totem, spirit companion) is the double, the alter-ego of an individual. It does not look like the individual concerned. Even though it may have an independent life of its own it remains closely linked to the individual. The familiar spirit can be an animal (animal companion).
A. P. Elkin studied the belief in familiar spirits among the Australian Aborigines:
A usual method, or explanation, is that the medicine man sends his familiar spirit (his assistant totem, spirit-dog, spirit-child or whatever the form may be) to gather the information. While this is occurring, the man himself is in a state of receptivity, in sleep or trance. In modern phraseology [spiritism], his familiar spirit would be the control [control spirit].[6]
