OM DENNE EPISODE
As is tradition on Pilot Program, we cover an anime every tenth episode, and for our 40th show, we're talking about one of Chase's favorites: 2014's Ping Pong The Animation. Based on the manga from Taiyō Matsumoto and directed by Masaaki Yuasa, Ping Pong centers around two high school table tennis players -- one brash and filled with natural talent, and the other who doesn't even seem to really want to be there. With a unique and entracing presentation, Ping Pong pushes past the traditional sports anime to become something more.
Show Notes:
- Chase claims mysterious games' reviewer Sushi X wrote for GamePro, but Pierce was correct that it was EGM instead. We deeply regret the error.
- Chase also theorizes that Ventus from Kingdom Hearts is another variant/clone of Sora, like Roxas. Ventus is actually a previous Keyblade wielder and the protagonist of Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep. We do not regret this error as Kingdom Hearts' story is ridiculous.
- And finally, Chase mentions seeing a behind-the-scenes clip of Ping Pong that shows off the use of Flash animation. Here's the link to that video.

Feeling there was more to dig into though, Berg would rework the concept into a TV show, with a (mostly) all-new cas…
The Golden Girls is not just one of the most popular shows of the '80s -- It's a television icon. What started as a parody became a show whose popularity has endured for over 40 years. But how much did they have figured out in their first episode? Chase and Pierce take on this TV classic on this ed…
As its twin hits of Mad Men and Breaking Bad were coming to a close, AMC was looking for another premier drama to add to its catalog. While it would never achieve the same commercial success of those earlier titans, 2014's Halt & Catch Fire would find a small, but passionate fanbase that has ac…
Chase and Pierce boldly go where many, many, many people have gone before. That's right, we've set our sights on 1966's Star Trek. Created by Gene Roddenberry and starring William Shatner, Star Trek delves into complex topics with thoughtful analysis. Or, in the case of this episode, showcases a ra…
