Ani-Gamers Podcast

Hosts: Evan “Vampt Vo” Minto, Kyle Hebert Topic: Street Fighter IV (2009) As promised, this episode features a special guest appearance from anime/game voice actor and podcaster Kyle Hebert (of The Big Bald Broadcast ), as he joins Evan to discuss the always fun and often frustrating Street Fighter IV , a game which Kyle starred in as Ryu. I fully recognize that our release schedule is...

Hosts: Evan “Vampt Vo” Minto, Karl “Uncle Yo” Custer Topics: Natsu no Arashi (2009), Shikabane Hime: Kuro (2009), Ristorante Paradiso (2009), Shangri-La (2009) The formidable Uncle Yo makes his triumphant return to the podcast to help with our Spring 2009 Anime Season preview (and to insult Russians, theatre-goers, pink-haired people, and pretty much everybody else). We&#82...

Hosts: Evan “Vampt Vo” Minto, Mitchell “MitchyD” Dyer Topic: The Professional: Golgo 13 (1983) We went well over an hour in this, one of our longest recent episodes. Maybe that’s because Mitchy’s back, and he and Evan can’t help but talk for an hour about awesome things like Golgo 13 and, um, Golgo 13. This episode’s got “What’cha Been Do...

Hosts: Evan “Vampt Vo” Minto, Brigid Alverson, Alain a.k.a. “Hisui,” Kate a.k.a. “Narutaki,” Scott VonSchilling, Greg Topics: New York Comic Con 2009 Recorded on the last day of the New York Comic Con, this episode has four other bloggers and Evan talking about our experience at the con, our favorite announcements and events, and our opinions on the state of the...

Hosts: Evan “Vampt Vo” Minto, Alain a.k.a. “Hisui,” Kate a.k.a. “Narutaki” Topics: Fate Tiger Colosseum Upper (Game-PSP), The Daughter of Twenty Faces [or Chiko, Heiress of the Phantom Thief ] (Anime-Sub) We’ve got a really short one this time, as the Ani-Gamers Podcast is invaded by Hisui and Narutaki (real names Alain and Kate) from the Reverse Thieves a...

Hosts: Evan “Vampt Vo” Minto, Mitchell “MitchyD” Dyer, Karl “Uncle Yo” Custer Topics: Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 (Game-PC/360), Me and the Devil Blues (Manga), The Tower of Druaga: The Aegis of Uruk (Anime-Sub) 2009 is finally here, so we’re naturally taking a look back at our favorite anime, manga, and video game titles of the past year. The first...

We finally made a second promo! This one is just Evan, because last time we used two people who never actually ended up on the podcast. Oops, false advertising! Luckily for you, Promo#02 is mostly true, because we promise to cure “bad otaku” of their evil ways. Said evil ways may or may not include a “Super Happy Moe-chan” body pillow. If you want us to feature a promo for...

Hosts: Evan “Vampt Vo” Minto, Mitchell “MitchyD” Dyer Topics: Playstation Home beta and Christopher Handley’s manga obscenity trial As if last episode’s mind-bending advance recording didn’t confuse you enough, this episode was recorded a full twelve days ago. That means that we’re not even thinking about Christmas or our end-of-year top-10 lists, be...

MitchyD makes his debut appearance on the podcast to review Mirror’s Edge with Evan. We pretty much love this game to death, but – believe it or not – we find some problems with it. Also, Links of the Day are in there at the end. As for future shows, I’m going to try to find a guest host to come in and mix things up. If there’s anybody you want to hear on the show, em...

It seems that we’re back on the horse with our release schedule, at least for now. This episode was recorded at MangaNEXT, which started three years ago as the first ever manga-centered convention. An hour or so before I left the con, I pulled together a motley crew of podcasters, bloggers, and (apparently) some random people who were hanging out with us. As such, this episode features a cac...

This episode is totally late, seeing as it was actually recorded sometime in mid-October. Anyway, if you think our old shows had audio problems, this one will blow you away. Luckily, the show itself sounds good, but the road to this episode was long and hard. First, Mitchy, Max and I sat down and talked about Shadow of the Colossus . Naturally, Max forgot to hit record. Then, when we tried to rere...

(Ack! I accidentally titled this episode 005 for nearly a week. Sorry for the error. This is actually episode 006.) In this special episode, straight from the 2008 New York Anime Festival, I interview prolific voice actors Tony Oliver, Kyle Hebert, and Steve Blum. All three of them worked on Gurren Lagann (ADR Director, Kamina, and Leeron respectively), but they’ve also played characters fro...

Here we are at episode five already! Tune in this episode to hear Karl “Uncle Yo” Custer and I ramble aimlessly about the recent psychological drama anime Ghost Hound, Production I.G.’s 20th Anniversary project. We’ve got the Links of the Day segment thrown in at the end there, but What’cha Been Doing is M.I.A. for this episode. FYI, the audio balancing on this episod...

This is a simple, 60-second promo for the Ani-Gamers Podcast recorded by Editor-in-Chief Evan “Vampt Vo” Minto, Contributing News Editor Alex Osborn, and Anime/Manga Reviewer Jessa “MimixRose” Rose. Equip it to your podcast for a +3 Awesome bonus. Also, I’d like to apologize if anyone’s been having any problems with the feed. I just changed it over to a new form...

So, alright, this is the, um, first “n-normal” episode of the Ani-Gamers………….Podcast? Yes, Maxwell “Pigeonflu” McGee (my gracious co-host) and I will be the first to admit: This episode is fraught with awkward pauses and radio no-no’s (so, like, um, alright, basically) On the bright side, there is only one audio error this time! In this episode...

What’s this? An episode of the podcast that comes out less than three months after the last one? BLASPHEMY I say! This particular episode contains voice actor Greg Ayres’ AnimeNEXT 2008 panel, “Fansubbing.” It’s all about the negative effect of fansubs on the American anime industry, and Greg really gets his point across well. Listen. You owe it to yourself. Also, I s...

At long last I have found the guts (and the technology) to publish episode two of the podcast. This episode features my hour-long press conference with voice actors Brian Drummond, Aidan Drummond, and Brad Swaile. Since there were only two other news outlets in the room, it was almost like a private interview, which was quite awesome. The other interviewers were the hosts from the Anime Jam Sessio...

Oh yes, welcome to the first EVER Ani-Gamers Podcast! The podcast is going to host any bonus audio content that I want to add to the site, including audio reviews, interviews, and debates. This episode contains a brief interview I held with world-renowned video game and film composer Andy Brick. Show notes below.
