There's a Viewtiful Joe anime? That's a new one on me.
Shame on you Gia for jumping a head with Saki episodes! Love John's idea, which I will name the "Spoilerific Saki Squadcast." Alliteration ftw.
I'm completely up to date with the current Naruto manga chapters and Shippuuden episodes as I'm sure quite a number on AV forumites are so I'm good on that front thanks.
Great podcast, enjoyed it lots.
PS. Any chance of calling one of the plants "Floppy Tits?"

haha, thanks for the show guys ^^ i actually laughed alot and it's just what i needed.
i actually used to know how to play Majong (when i was like..6 @_@) and i can't believe i completely forgot how to play. Saki is interesting, but i just can't follow it T_T
if anything, i'd love for you guys to show Fairy Tail (as i hardly knew any of the shows you mentioned XD)

@AjayRaz: Ohhh, if we could show Fairy Tail I'd be doing it already! Unfortunately it's only available to paid users, and them for only 30 days, so it's not on my list of embeddable shows. :)
This was the first Squadcast I've listened to in many months - I mainly tuned in for the office and streaming parts of the conversation - and found it to be alright. IKEA furniture *can* be frustrating to assemble but it's not impossible.
I haven't been following along with the "X-a-day" posts but I could probably keep up with Eyeshield 21 (FOOTBALL!!) if that were to be picked as a future featured series. Gintama is a nice show, as well. However, both go on for 100+ episodes so that could be a test of endurance for whoever's put in charge of writing the related posts.
Re: Crunchyroll streaming under the Videos tab - I noticed that some of the newer simulcast episodes such as Tegami Bachi ep. 5 show only the first 2 minutes and then a prompt to sign up for CR Membership appears - the same way it happens on CR's own site to non-subscribers. Is the addition process too automatic, like through an RSS feed or otherwise, that it would be unwieldy to denote when such episodes would become fully available? This isn't a major concern to me - more of an observation - and it would probably be more work than it's worth to put dates in descriptions only to remove them a week later. A better solution could be waiting until a simulcast episode becomes broadly available but that might depend on AV's relationship with Crunchyroll.
Finally, the first plant names that came to mind were Twiggy and Palmer. Not great. I hope better names than those crop up!

@CalAggie: Official word from Ethan is that there will be a way to denote that "someday." :)
What"s the song they used at the beginning and end. I recognize it put I cant put my finger on it. ITS KILLING ME!!!
