Rental Magica

Thursday, February 4th, 2010 – running time 24:05

This week Rental Magica gets a look from the panel and we make a brief stop over at Anime L.A.

Roy, Jenny, and Kaiji give us a small taste of this year's Anime L.A. Convention, Kaiji is fighting again in Hima, and Rental Magica gets a look from our panel.

Hima - Gakuen Alice, Street Fighter, Lovely Complex, Sasameki Koto

You'd probably guess that Kaiji's been playing Street Fighter, but there's also the manga Gakuen Alice, and two animes mentioned in Hima. One is a girl-girl anime called Sasameki Koto and the other is called Lovely Complex. Between Miley, Laura, and Roy you might think you can match the title with the panelist. But, it's not as easy as you might think.

AnimeTV at Anime Los Angeles 6

Anime Los Angeles is a fan-driven convention that is in its 6th year. Over 3000 people attended the event in January, where the big attraction was the cosplayers. So, we sent Roy, Jenny, and Kaiji to do a quick spin around the convention and bring back a taste of what there was to see and do.
