On this week’s episode of Maury, we find out whether or not Tylor is the father of Azalyn’s baby! Wait, this isn’t daytime trash TV? You could have fooled me. I wish the premise of this episode wasn’t summed up by that first sentence, but here we are! Lies and jokes abound this week as the crew reviews Episode 21 of The Irresponsible Captain Tylor, “Paco-Paco Junior”!

Listen to Season 9: Episode 9 – Yuriko is Not Amused

After a few weeks off, we’re back with a brand new review of Captain Tylor! This week it’s an old fashioned anime girl feud. We certainly don’t miss this old media trope. Instead of lifting one another up, Yuriko and Kim are at each other’s throats all throughout Episode 11, “In Demotion Does a Woman Bloom.” Thankfully, things don’t stay too strained for long, especially when they have something in common: a distaste for the Captain’s antics.

Welcome to the next installment of a new articles series,Tuesday Top Five! From time to time I’ll be coming up with a Top 5 spanning a number of geeky topics. This week we celebrate the release of Final Fantasy XV with an article chronicling my favorite Final Fantasy protagonists.

Greetings, fans! It’s been a while since I’ve posted a Top 5 article, but I’m back with a promise of several Final Fantasy themed articles. Final Fantasy XV dropped today, and a lot of people have been eager to get their hands on the game. I may try it myself, but for the first time ever I’m not rushing out to get it on Day 1. Perhaps I was burned by every game after Final Fantasy X-2.

The first of several weekly articles will be my personal top 5 playable characters from the history of the series. I can tell you right now that my list is probably going to be VERY different from your own. As always, let us know what your own list is in the comments section below!

Tuesday Top Five: Best Final Fantasy Games

Welcome to another installment of Tuesday Top Five! Each week I’ll be coming up with a Top 5 spanning a number of geeky topics. This week, I’m going to rank my favorite video games from the Final Fantasy series.

Out of all my NES games, the one I treasured the most was my copy of Final Fantasy. This JRPG from Square was published in 1987 and was supposed to be the very last video game for the failing company.

I am a child of the Nintendo era. Growing up, I owned the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES for short), and I would lose myself in its many worlds, such as The Mushroom Kingdom and Hyrule. The games had simple graphics, but many of them were insanely difficult to play and master.

That being said, it turned out to be a massive hit, and as most people know, it spawned a number of other games in the series. Most of these games are not sequels, but many of them had similar themes and mechanics that evolved alongside the hardware of new consoles.

Trying to rank my Top 5 this week was extremely difficult, and I’m sure those of you out there may disagree with my list.  If you do, leave your own list in the comments below. We may read your comments on a future episode of the Tooning Japanese Podcast!
