It’s been a few years, but our special guest is Mike Toole, whom we have summoned forth so that we may review the 5-part OVA Macross Zero from 2002, now available in the US after over twenty years.

Clarissa reviews the hottest anime of the year! The year 2016, that is. YURI!!! on ICE isn’t as rude as the hockey player dudes of today, but men’s figure skaters can have their own heated rivalry! Or maybe they’re an extended series of “Russian taunts.” Introduction (0:00 – 43:07) The Crunchyroll Anime Awards just concluded, … Continue reading "Anime Worl...

In this episode, Gerald has this terrible feeling of…of déjà vu. Nevertheless, we’re getting this episode out just on the edge of tomorrow. Fitting, since we’re in a live, die, repeat sort of cycle this time around, as Gerald reviews the feature film anime adaptation of All You Need Is Kill, which is not quite … Continue reading "Anime World Order Show # 252 – Your Ch...

In this episode, Daryl doesn’t seem to understand that we already reviewed Serial Experiments Lain 20 years ago! A shame, he seemed an…incredibly dishonest man, but still! How close/far to the mark was this speculation fiction on the Internet from 28 years ago? Introduction (0:00 – 32:32) Daryl just celebrated his 46th birthday, and that … Continue reading "Anime World Orde...

It’s our 250th episode, except it’s actually closer to 332! No better time for Gerald to review 1983’s Prime Rose: A Time Slip of 10,000 Years by Osamu Tezuka, now officially released in English. Nudity! Eye gouging! Beheading! Slavery, and not even the B.S. “ethical” kind you see on a curiously elevated basis within contemporary … Continue reading "Anime World...

It’s a brand new year, but not quite a brand new animal as Daryl reviews the somehow already half decade old TV series Odd Taxi. Since it’s something of a mystery series, we’ll note the review contains minor to perhaps moderate spoilers. Introduction (0:00 – 52:07) We sound off on the sudden and dramatic shift … Continue reading "Anime World Order Show # 249 – A...

This episode marks our 20th year of podcasting, to the day! After some reflection on the two decades journey we’ve undertaken, it’s down to business as usual as we give some thoughts on the concluding anime season before once again recapping some Christmas-focused episodes of anime. Introduction (0:00 – 52:55) How were things twenty years … Continue reading "Anime World Ord...

It’s that time of year again: our annual trivia episode We’re joined by YouTuber Red Bard this time around, who we met at Anime Boston earlier this year. Like Daryl, they are a contributor to Anime Herald Magazine, which is now released in both print and digital! BUT HOW MUCH DO THEY KNOW ABOUT ODIN … Continue reading "Anime World Order Show # 247 – Red Bard Carves Thanksgi...

Halloween is upon us, and while we don’t quite have any bona fide horror anime lined up, after everyone gives initial impressions of the Fall 2025 anime season Clarissa reviews the somewhat eerie and entirely too short anime adaptation of Pet Shop of Horrors. Introduction (0:00 – 43:03) The new Fall 2025 anime season is … Continue reading "Anime World Order Show # 246 – The...

As the Fall 2025 anime season approaches, we talk about our favorites of Summer 2025 before Gerald reviews Bubblegum Crash!, the 3-part sequel to Bubblegum Crisis which we reviewed roughly 17 years ago. Introduction (0:00 – 50:50) We start off by reading an email from a listener who watched Aim for the Top! Gunbuster for … Continue reading "Anime World Order Show # 245 – If Sylia...
