Radio Shows Scribblings #9

Yeah it’s been a really long time since I wrote stuff bout radio shows. Since then (when again?), animate.tv has revamped its site and navigating the thing is more stupid than ever before and totally not worth the effort so I’ve taken to listening to everything via NicoDouga instead (comments are fun too). Also, there’s a new streaming site HiBiKi Radio Station that’s opened and already hosts a pretty good selection of shows plus it’s easy to access, which earns it a couple more points in my book.

It’s been a case of (and still is) playing catch up for me, I haven’t even gone through the summer anime radio shows and another season is upon us already. Awesomeness. Over the past couple of days I managed to sift through a few that were top priorities for me, though a few months out of the loop and I’ve no real idea what shows are hot and what are not so it’s a case of throwing darts at the anime radio wall and seeing what sticks.

Once again, repeating the very useful site I use to keep track of what shows are airing. You can get hold of all the shows below by searching on NicoDouga.

Radio Shows Scribblings #8

This post has actually been in draft for close to a month now so I thought I’d just knock it out of the backlog while I prep for a fresh bunch of posts – there should be a bumper radio shows update sometime within the next fortnight as soon as I catch up with all the backlogged SoraKake.

Radio Shows Scribblings #7

I wish there was a way I could make all these scribblings a bit more coherent, they look an utter mess to me at times. Anyway, there are a couple more shows I’d like to cover but they’ll have to come in a future entry because the Anispa ones got way too long.

Playing catch up again, and it’s not even 2 months into the new year… and yeah, SoraKake is my current priority – both the anime and radio.

Hetalia fuss is causing Animate.tv servers to melt down

OK, so I’ve gotten a few enquiries as to why animate.tv radio hasn’t been working for the past week or so. Actually, it was working sporadically for me yesterday (tested Kara no Kyokai and Yozakura Quartet radio) but it was reeaallllllyyy slow and I gave up after 5 minutes of spluttering. Apparently it’s not just us foreigners that are facing this problem, there are people within Japan who also find it difficult to access the site’s hosted radio and web TV programmes.

And the reason?

Because all us gaijin people have been flooding animate.tv’s servers to try to watch Hetalia to see if Koreans kiss somebody’s ass or whatever the controversy was all about again, overloading the server and crashing the website.

Yes, really. I have no idea whether there’s an region block in place or anything (there certainly wasn’t last night). According to a message posted on 2channel, on the newest episode of Sayonara Zetsubou Housou they were poking fun at the whole situation (overseas access is killing us!) and apologising to overseas listeners for not being able to access the show.

So yeah, I dunno how long this shit is gonna last but I hope it’s not permanent. The animate.tv website isn’t even working for me at the moment, not even with a Japanese proxy ip *shrug* Damn you people watching Hetalia spoiling it for us poor old seiyuu fans who just want to listen to radio shows! The only solutions are to download the programmes via proxy server (too damn slow, for me anyway) or listen to them on Nico Nico Douga (if anyone bothers to upload them).
