Just finished listening.
Ok so here goes my thoughts.
Sacred Cow.Piracy yeah it aint an easy issue to deal with considering legal sides view Piracy to begin with.
We are in the 21st century not the 20th century, some companies are adapting to these new ways but still there are things which affect or limit things.
Politics does affect so much, down here in Australia about 2-3 years there was an attemtp to introduce a mandatory internet filter for every Australian to censor objectional content
They decided to treat all Australians inclduing paying adults as if they were not consenting adults and able to say view adult content.
This eventually got dropped due to pressure from lots of people and groups in time, buisnesses, internet analysts, ect.
Part of the vocal side FOR the filter were very vocal religious groups, namely the ACL(Australian Christian Lobby)
Not to mention the minister made some STUPID comments, including calling those who oppose the filter, support child pornography.
Simillarly at the same time yet a simillar issue.
We had issue with the Video Game rating system being affected by the Office of Film and Literature Classification.
Games rated R18+ normally were being censored and shoe horned in to MA15+ which meant 15 year olds could get access to games like that.
It's only more recent years this has changed due to pressure from alot of gamers and also talking, since some state premiers at first held it back opposing it.
Well that time 1 premier got kicked out off office and that changed things with a new open minded premier for South Australia.
In fact on the news earlier, it was mentioned in fact because it's going to be implemented after a good year or 2 of 98% of Aussie gamers in support of it.
(I'm one of those 98% people)
NOW on to the main post replies for the other stuff.

Ok High School of the Dead I haven't seen it, heard of it, but now after hearing this it has my interest.
I might wait and see if more comes for the anime though.
As for voicemail and mailbag replies.
Pedro, it's cool, so long as you get to GaoGaiGar sooner or later man, I want to hear your thoughts on it.
1.Glad you guys enjoyed them and I agree with them being alternate interpretations of Sherlock Holmes, yeah I heard A Game of Shadows got 1-2 rough reviews, including spill.com which I disagreed with.
2.Magical Girl Fighting Anime aint a regular thing I watch, but it is sometimes.
I will say I totally agree with Pedro on the end of Mahoromatic Something More Beautiful.
Typical Gainax BS ending if you ask me.
Steel Angel Kurumi was rather fun, 2 was kind of odd though.
Sekirei is somewhat interesting thus far.
3.Mezzo DSA does have a prequel related work Mezzo Forte.
The series can be considered possibly loosely connect or set in the same universe as Kite and the reboot Kite Liberator.
As for the thing I refered to it was episode 19.
Was that the Posion thing?
Seems like it anyway, didn't mean to make Chris relive traumatising memories

Also seems like UNIVERSE!! has been going around lately.
EDIT: Also caught first 2 episodes of High School of the Dead via Madman's streaming room.
It's kind of interesting series, but oddly to me, it's kind of sad seeing so many kids or people get caught out by the Zombie Apocalypse so soon.
Might look in to it more, also Chris I understand what you mean with Shizuka's boobs they are too big and used comically, it's off putting.
