Anime World Order Podcast

If you thought we were done with this A and B nomenclature thing just because we said we were, THINK AGAIN. We were going to have this after the Otakon 2012 report but things were running long, so here's where Gerald reviews the Discotek Media releases of The Fantastic Adventures of Unico as well as Unico in the Island of Magic. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental li...

Three months between proper episodes is pretty deplorable even for us. We had meant for this episode to contain our Otakon 2012 report as well as the review of Unico, but the report ran long so we're splitting this in half. Joining us for the con report via rather low quality landline reception is AWA Video Programming Director (and amateur Strong Sad impersonator), Darius Washington. We tried rec...

Due to overwhelming demand--well, it was more like one person--Daryl has posted more audio of himself that can charitably be described as "filler" while the next episode proper of AWO is prepared. Contains a hopefully fair overview of Sakura-con 2012. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

In this episode, Clarissa SPEAKS~! about her favorite things: gay porn and horror, the two girliest genres there is. After a slew of yaoi manga recommendations that gay men might like, she reviews the anime mystery/horror series Another. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Due to anime conventions, magazine deadlines, and to a lesser extent DE REEPAZ we missed our chance to release this way back in March when this was initially recorded. But in this episode, after dispensing some advice on running mecha panels at anime conventions Gerald reviews the unjustifiably recent theatrical film, Trigun: Badlands Rumble. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and s...

We've been having a decent amount of guests on lately, huh? This time we are joined by Evan Minto from the Anigamers podcast and Genericon staff to talk about--PER HIS REQUEST--the notoriously disliked Sword for Truth by Osamu Dezaki and Akio Sugino. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

In this news-only installment, we discuss the recent Bandai Entertainment downsizing and cancelation of new releases. Our guests are professional anime translator Neil Nadelman (who's done many Bandai translations) and Anime News Network columnist Mike Toole. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

For the final segment of Show 102, Gerald reviews Model Suit Gunpla Builders Beginning G, which for brevity's sake we'll just call "Gunpla Builders," and continues to bombard us with trivia questions. Our guest remains Erin Finnegan, who is very displeased that we did not inform everyone that ERIN EDITED THIS PODCAST. Well, she did! Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplementa...

We missed a month. Again. We thought we'd record a thing with Erin from the Ninja Consultant podcast, aka Erin from ANN's Shelf Life. We thought we could win a war on trivia. But we lost the war against sibilance. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

After entirely too many years we once again have as a guest Patrick Macias! He's an author, editor, podcaster, Internet video star, and television personality. He's also a paranoiac who's a menace to our society, which is why we need HIM to back Gerald up as he reviews the...divisive...Rintaro film Harmagedon! Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Gerald and Daryl were on the latest episode of the Anime82 podcast, and since we STILL don't have a podcast of our own recorded yet, we're just going to abuse Creative Commons and post our audio segments from it. The full episode was 3 hours long; our part was 80 minutes! We said some...endearing...things! Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

The AWO was all present for this installment of the Ninja Consultant podcast, recorded at 2:30 AM on Saturday of Anime Weekend Atlanta 2011. Also present: the OSMCast!, the Most Dangerous Ed Chavez of Vertical Inc, and a [quite possibly Most] Dangerous Mystery Person! Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

It took about four years longer than it should have but we're finally at Show 100! To commemorate this occasion, we bring back Mike Toole to discuss Yoshiyuki Tomino's most heartfelt work...Garzey's Wing. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

This is the most un-weekly podcast ever. It?s been yet another month since episodes. You know what we were doing during that time? Being at Otakon 2011, followed by Anime Festival Orlando 2011. This is our convention report for the former. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

In the final hours of Otakon 2011, it was decided that the true Fantastic Four should covertly gather in a press room to talk about the final episode of Mad Bull 34, the prior 1:00 AM viewing of which threatened to keep Erin and Noah awake despite their 9:00 AM panel. This unedited podcast audio is the result. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Between the Steam Summer Sale, magazine deadlines, grad school, and con prep we forgot to record podcasts for 2 months. Gerald reviews the Dirty Pair TV series here. Listen to find out how to win a copy! Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Here's our review of our experience at Anime Boston 2011. We went to panels and did some too. Daryl overuses the phrase "wing it" in his recollections of events. Oh, and we talk about bara. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

For this episode we're joined by SF author, un-milky DJ, and Twitter entity Tim Maughan for a spoiler-free discussion of Redline by Takeshi Koike. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

We still haven't got the next episode edited yet (because we haven't STARTED editing it yet...) but in the meantime the three of us were interviewed by Andrew over at Podcast Squared, a podcast which specializes in reviewing other podcasts. Listen and find out THE SECRETS OF HOW TO BE COOL...or the direct opposite. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

In this episode, we interview the voice of like, everybody EVER, the one and only Steve Blum! Best known to gradually aging anime fans as the voice of Spike Spiegel in Cowboy Bebop and less aging anime fans as the voice of Leeron in Gurren Lagann, Steve has been warping youths for decades now. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Wow, we missed...quite some time! It's as though we disappeared! (Or perhaps expired?) To that note, Gerald reviews the manga Disappearance Diary...after we spend half the show talking about US animation for a change! Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

It took something like nine months, but now that Clarissa isn't working full time and taking a full load of graduate school classes she can now bring to us her review of the Viz Signature release of Kingyo Used Books. Joining us is "Chiaki" from the AAA Podcast. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

We didn't record anything at Genericon 2011 ourselves, but we did sit down for an interview with the Reverse Thieves for their podcast, The Speakeasy. We basically disrupted whatever was planned. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

We haven't posted anything lately, and with our convention appearance at Genericon impending, Daryl figured we may as well let people know that the convention appearance at Genericon actually exists! Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

In this recorded-on-New-Year's-Eve installment of AWO, Gerald reviews the recently-concluded Gainax anime series Panty and Stocking With Garterbelt...eventually. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.
