God I hate BioGundam
I love BioGundam. He is very honest and I like that honesty. He has a masterful use of language, his eloquent language must be something to respect!

"Okay, so let me give you the real low-down people. A Certain Magical Index is about a guy named Touma Kamijou, he's off fighting crimes and saving dames. If there's villainy in the city of Academy City, he's the first one there to tell people that they're not living their life correctly and give them a punch in the face with his magical right hand. The right hand is a giant metaphor and he also saves a catholic nun, whose accused of pagan heresy."

I think one thing that can be talked about in the LN podcasts are foreshadowing and fan theories. I think something like Overlord and The Monogatari Series would be great for this. Stuff like "who is Ougi?" "What was Araragi and Kanbaru doing during Nekomonogatari (White)?" "What is Albedo thinking/up to?" And "Who did Demiurge see near the start of vol 6?" It was touched on a bit in Index podcast with the forgetting ideas part and Mental out. This can even be something you do as you talk about each volume individually of what was foreshadowed (or possible foreshadowing) were in each volume.

I’ve only heard the first episode but I found him to be neither honest nor eloquent and certainly no one to respect.
I found him a raging “I’m right you’re wrong” character with the depth of his critique being that Phantom Bullet was exactly like Star Wars (on a superficial level only, for whatever it’s faults the story structure and character interactions are completely different). Then he went off on how weak people who like High School anime are and how awesome and strong ninja shows are. He capped it off by going into some bizarre stories of his personal backstory that seemed to come straight out of fan fiction.
But what I liked least about him is how he forcibly bludgeoned his opinion so no one in the conversation got a word in edgewise. If I wanted that sort of personality I’d watch political commentary shows.
I am someone who likes good debate against the things I like because it lets me see facets and aspects to the story I might have missed, but Bio’s opinions only came across as blunt and rude and not well constructed at all. I felt burnt out after listening to him, not what I want on my free time.
So, yeah the podcast isn’t for me, but I’m happy others enjoy it. There’s plenty out there for me to enjoy without it.

I'm following the podcast and enjoying it. If I had been into light novels earlier (started this August with Grimgar), I would have applied to co-host.
My support for this show, the crew is good and fun. Lookign forward for the next ones. -
@the-green-death I was half joking, half serious when I said that. Justus did say in the first Podcast that he thinks Bio will be the most controversial out of the bunch. Some people are scared to say the things they really think and feel. Bio does not beat around the bush thus, making it easier for others to say what they feel. It is easier to open up a bit if someone else had already. Sometimes you just need a Ranta in your group.

We're recording an episode on Katanagatari next Tuesday (it won't go up for a bit though), so maybe we'll get a chance to do this. =]
Fan theories I avoid because, well, I don't read many fanslations, and a lot of fans do to come up with stuff. I could do my own personal predictions.

New episode up. This one is the Anime Expo / Kono Light Novel Rankings episode. So us looking at new series either announced or ranked on the list. =)

Terrence (Me)I believe there's a giveaway for limited free Bookmarks on this podcast, but I haven't listened to the end (I know that's weird since I was in it, but Justus was planning to add the giveaway to the end in editing; he also posted about the giveaway on his review though, so I don't know if there's separate giveaways or they're together).

Latest episode live. This one is fun since we'll be giving our picks of not just the best light novels, but ones we want for the next year
Pretty much a full house of hosts, but everyone gets their turn to talk in segmented sections for the most part.

My top 3 of 2018 were
Monogatari series
Danmachi franchise

Terrence (me)We get into only a little bit of best gal squabble in this one (Eiri or Renko was pretty much the debate).
Who do you want Kyousuke to end up with after the first 3 volumes?
Our next cast we plan to record is Shield Hero. I know me, Bio, and Justus are supposed to be on that at least.
The one after that is planned to be...
-
I decided to check out Psycome after listening to this podcast. I didn't watch the video since I didn't want too many spoilers but it always fun to hear what others have to say about light novels they enjoyed reading.
-
We're doing Isekai Quartet based series now for the cast (so that means Overlord, Konosuba, Tanya the Evil, and ReZero). We just uploaded the first one on Overlord.
-
@terrence Isekai Quartet is a hot topic on Youjo Senki Reddit page, many are following and commenting about it seems good to me.

Konosuba cast is live. This is a fun one (apparently the news is over 30 minutes long somehow too). x)
