Anime World Order Podcast

Since we've got to spend most of June working on panels, we'll try and knock out an episode or two this month. This time around, Clarissa reviews the relatively recent anime series Flying Witch, for which print editions of the manga have just started to be released in English. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Though technically it's already like a year late, we finally review Mobile Suit Gundam 00! Note: this isn't edited. Like, at all in fact. Normally we edit for clarity and to remove cross-talk, excess noise, table banging, and the like. NOT THIS TIME. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

It's been entirely too long since we've reviewed something from before the 1980s, so we all checked out the Toei Douga 1975 film adaptation of The Little Mermaid to see how it compares to the original story...and yes, the Disney film everyone knows! Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

We're not done awakening the trailblazers yet as planned, so for this special extra large THANKSGIVING DAY episode, Gerald's put together another exciting trivia episode to expose how little Daryl and Clarissa know, even when the topics pertain to things previously reviewed on this very show! Plus, we're joined by Dawn from the Anime Nostalgia Podcast, who agreed to show up mere hours before the s...

It's a podcast. It's a special podcast. It's got super discussions about Code Geass, Berserk Season 2, Anime Weekend Atlanta 2016, and Gerald's review of a Most Dangerous film from 1986, Ai City. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

We missed the entire month of August, so we may as well double up with our con report on Otakon 2016 as well as Clarissa's review of the recent NoitaminA series Erased. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

We've got a bit of time between one convention and another, so Gerald takes this opportunity to review the recently-concluded Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

With Anime Fan Fest 2016 concluded and our writing deadlines met, we've got a short window before AnimeNEXT 2016 where we'll all be guests and be presenting panels to record and release a new episode. In this episode, Daryl reviews Food Wars!: Shokugeki no Soma. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Daryl was a guest at Anime Fan Fest 2016, and used the opportunity to finally get some time with Charles Dunbar, Darius Washington, and Sean O'Mara. The topic was allegedly How to Stay Excited Over Anime After Decades but it was early in the morning and everyone just talked at one another about who knows what. Same as usual, minus the early in the morning part I suppose. Visit www.animeworldorder....

This episode came out a month late because of trauma incurred by a CG talking dog and also CG drifting cars, the one-two punch of which was enough to give Gerald pause before he could review the CG anime adaptation of Knights of Sidonia. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

The following episode contains zero edits whatsoever to remove microphone pops, crosstalk, dead air, us saying UM, clearing our throats constantly, or anything that in any way makes the listening experience palatable or enjoyable. That is because we are reviewing Initial D. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplementary links.

Ten years sure is easy to type, but living them's another story! To celebrate our decade of podcasting, we er, had nothing planned. But it's a new year, so let's do a 2015 Year in Review despite the fact that we never did 2010 through 2014. Look, we never figured this whole podcasting thing out, okay? Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Is THIS going to mark ten years of our podcast? Clarissa reviews THE BASKETBALL WHICH KUROKO PLAYS, or as rational people call it, Kuroko's Basketball. Any native English speaker who says Kuroko no Basuke or even weirder Kuroko's Basket probably reads pirated scans. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplementary links.

In this episode, we've implemented multiple new ways to drive away listeners as this episode is primarily about sports anime. We also give our convention report of Anime Weekend Atlanta 2015 and Gerald reviews the bicycle racing anime Yowamushi Pedal. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

As a result of donations sent in via his Twitch channel at www.twitch.tv/suratd, Daryl was tasked with reviewing an anime selected by those who donated. The decision was unanimous: Ben-To. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental details.

After giving our convention/panel coverage of Otakon 2015, Gerald reviews the recent released theatrical film Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection of F (or, if you prefer, Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F'). As Gerald does not actually like Dragon Ball Z, this makes him either the least qualified person to do such a thing...or perhaps the MOST. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplement...

With Hama-con over and Otakon mere days away, we go over some of the major Anime Expo 2015 announcements (this takes 28 minutes) and Daryl reviews the now 20-year old OAV series El Hazard: The Magnificent World (invariably bringing up the original Tenchi Muyo! in the process). Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplementary links.

Yep, we missed an entire month, but Shirobako is all about missing deadlines, as Clarissa points out this episode. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Wait, did we turn the clocks back to the early 2000s for this episode? Only partially, for while it?s true that we?re reviewing The Anime Encyclopedia, it's the newly revised 3rd Edition as opposed to the older editions. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Freelance videogame journalist Heidi Kemps of the website gaming.moe joins the battle to discuss the recently-concluded short comedy series Hi-sCoool! SeHa Girls. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

It wasn't easy, but we finally managed to get a hold of Ardith Carlton, who played a formative role in American anime fandom and is still going strong to this day. Her tales of 70s geekdom and what it took to make it to Japan where she now lives is one of Attack No. 1 levels of determination. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

To celebrate roughly nine years of this podcast existing, Gerald has decided to do this episode in the style of a podcast he ACTUALLY enjoys: Atomic Trivia War 9000. Joining us for this episode is Paul ?White Daryl? Chapman from Otaku USA Magazine and The Greatest Movie EVER! podcast. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Clarissa and Gerald thought they could get a podcast review done with minimal editing and minimal viewing overhead if they just watched something that was already on Netflix. But then they chose the 2013 Space Pirate Harlock CG animated film directed by Shinji Aramaki. How does this compare to what Daryl said in Show 125? ONLY ONE WAY TO FIND OUT.

This is not a standard style episode, as we're interviewing Robert W. Gibson, a longtime anime fan who was there in the foundational era of US anime fandom. Part 1 is available at Tim Eldred's Cosmo DNA website. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

In this episode, Gerald reviews the 1978 theatrical film Lupin the Third: The Mystery of Mamo. Be forewarned that this episode is heavier on spoilers than usual and the person we are likely to model our pronunciation of ?Lupin? after is Dennis Moore. Dennis Moore. Dum de dum. The night.
