Why Anime Pacific?
I’ve heard one of the hosts, Dane, on a few other podcasts and always thought he was a pretty bright and funny guy. Based solely on this, I decided to check out the podcast he runs with his co-host, Alex.

Initial thoughts:
I’m in for a long haul as today’s podcast clocks in at 1 hour, 45 minutes. Do I have the stamina to listen to it all? I’m interested in the discussion on Carl Macek as well as the continuing discussion on Summer Wars, a film I’m particularly psyched for.

Sand of Destruction (Nintendo DS)
Games like Xenogears, Grandia and Final Fantasy have been well known to RPG fans for a long time. With many developers from said games working on Sands of Destruction, it has a lot to live up too. Sadly, having a large group of talented developers sometimes does not result in a perfect game.

Sands of Destructions follows the exploits of a young boy named Kyrie Illunis who has the power to destroy the entire world. He finds himself in a bind when he gets involved with Morte Asherah, a leader of the World Destruction Committee. She is fed up with the world enslaved by a furry race called Ferals and has decided the only way to fix things is to end it all and bring about Armageddon. Other protagonists includes the teddy bear badass mercenary Taupy and Agan Mardus, a wisecracking friend of Morte who, like a certain movie hero, fights with a whip and wears a fedora.
