For our final podcast of the year, we celebrate our third year anniversary with our special guest, Ryan Gavigan! Took us long enough; we'd been meaning to record this since before our first year anniversary. In the first part of this show, we talk to Ryan about his sordid life in anime fandom and Daryl reviews the Bubblegum Crisis OAVs, aka "the only Bubblegum Crisis that exists" or if you prefer...

Here's the last of our con reports for the year, this time for both SITACon 2008 and EXPCon 2008. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Even though the convention was back in September, here's our con report for Anime Weekend Atlanta 2008. Show 75 is recorded and will hopefully be posted soon, but there may be one more convention report bonus edition posted first. Three bonus recordings in a row? Man, we are lazy. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Kept you waiting, huh? For this episode we're all reviewing manga titles. Gerald's reviewing Dororo by Osamu Tezuka and Daryl's reviewing Ressentiment by Kengo Hanazawa. Clarissa's review of Part 4 of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure will be posted soon. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

This episode probably sets some sort of AWO record for going off-topic, so if you find yourself wondering "when are they going to actually talk about anime" then you are encouraged to consult the timecodes listed on our website. Gerald reviews Witchblade (which he repeatedly paid money to own), Daryl reviews Strait Jacket (probably the newest thing he's ever done), and Clarissa reviews Moyashimon....

Here's an interview we conducted at Otakon 2008 with the Philadelphia Animation Society's "Old Farts" of anime: Bill Thomas, Kevin McHenry, Sydney Whitfield, and Jim Kaposztas. All of these gentlemen were present at the Old Farts Anime Appreciation panel, hence the moniker. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Clarissa's reviewing the BL manga Dog Style, Gerald reviews the terrible wannabe cyberpunk OAV Burn Up! which unfortunately got multiple sequels, and Daryl reviews the awesome non-wannabe cyberpunk OAV Cyber City Oedo 808 which unfortunately got no sequels at all. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Alternate title: "Noah, When I Want Your Opinion I'll Take My Cl*t Out of Your Mouth and Ask You For It." Rather than edit our own con report which was hastily recorded a few days ago, here's the Ninja Consultant Otakon 2008 report recorded LIVE at the con! With special guests Daryl Surat and Gerald Rathkolb from AWO! Also, Mike Dent from R5 Central, Tyler Waldman from Rangercast, and James Veroni...

The remainder of Show 71 is quite lengthy, but let it tide you over for a while since we've got conventions coming up. Gerald reviews Nobody's Boy Remi, Clarissa reviews the anime version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Daryl finally covers Part 3 of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Here's an interview we conducted with veteran anime voice actor and ADR director Richard Epcar at Florida Supercon 2008. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Show 71 ran a little long, so here's just the news segment rounding up what transpired at Anime Expo 2008. It's not as well-edited as usual due to a broken monitor plus writing deadlines, so bear with it. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Caught up by greed and the war economy, this episode is all about the pursuit--and parting--of cash. Clarissa reviews the Black Jack TV series, Gerald opines on Tekkon Kinkreet, and Daryl gambles it all away on Kaiji. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Here's a live podcast we recorded at JACON 2008 for the dearly departed Snacktime Online podcast to tide people over in the meantime. For this bonus installment of AWO, the role of Gerald will be played by Paul Chapman from the Greatest Movie EVER! podcast and the role of Clarissa will be played by Joey Snackpants, whom we interviewed back in Show # 18. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show...

Show 69 concludes with Clarissa and Zero-chan's introduction to doujinshi. But since that would be ONLY an hour, we've got yet another news segment in front of it too. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

The hentai hoedown that is Show 69 continues, with our special guest Zero-chan from Japanator. Gerald reviews Cream Lemon and Daryl doesn't review Wicked City so much as synopsize it scene by scene so you don't have to see it. Psst: see it. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Behold the much-dreaded Show 69: another all-hentai episode! With special guest, Zero-chan from Japantor! Both Clarissa and she will be talking about doujinshi in general. Gerald's reviewing Cream Lemon, and Daryl's not-reviewing Wicked City! Actually this is just the first part of the show where we don't technically talk about hentai since the recording ran extremely long. This is just the emails...

The full-on Podcast411-approved rig is officially in full effect! Daryl reviews The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, Clarissa has the baseball anime Ookiku Furikabutte ("Swing Big"), and Gerald catches Clarissa's moe infection brought on by Potemayo as he reviews Lucky Star.

After over a month of no new episodes, this show--recorded a month ago--is now out. Nothing but absolute evil is contained within as Daryl reviews MW by Vertical Inc (featuring nonstop depictions of evil), Gerald reviews Dangaioh (the dub of which is truly evil), and Clarissa reviews the most evil of them all: Potemayo (a moe show). Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplementa...

Clarissa's reviewing Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann and we speculate on this whole ADV / Sojitz scenario. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

The much-belated, and hopefully final, segment of Show # 64. We discuss the news, which is rather hilariously out of date as there have been several further developments since the time this was recorded. With the current craziness going on, expect more on these topics in the future. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.
