We’re joined by Daryl Surat of Anime World Order , Otaku USA , Crunchyroll New...

Continuing our Otakon podcast extravaganza, on the OSMcast proper we are joined by Hisui of Reserve Thieves fame as we talk about Otakon on a Saturday. The sights, the sounds, the movie premiers. The on-air crushing of a hearts as news of Satoshi Kon’s last work remains in limbo. We even get to talk to a few con goers to see how con was shaping up for them, at the con itself. All these and more aw...

It's like Chris Cason is going, "Here. have a podcast. On me." Back in the ye olden days of June 2011, we got to talk to one Chris Cason at HAMACON 2 . Who is this mysterious Chris Cason, you ask? Why he’s a voice actor and ADR Director for Funimation Entertainment . He’s done several roles for Funimation, such as Gluttony in Full Metal Alchemist, Mr. Popo in Dragon Ball Kai, and Holy Ro...

Because a house certainly cannot have four, or six leaves. That just wouldn't do. What’s this?! A podcast releasing on schedule?! Why yes… yes it is! The OSMcast_!_ once again returns faithfully to your audio-listening side as we discuss Natsume Ono’s House of Five Leaves, with the manga being released by Viz Media and the anime being streamed online by FUNimation.

It's a con that knows how to rock out with it's uh, anime out! THE OSMCAST IS BACK! And we have brought back with us the motherload of Middle Tennessee Anime Convention con report in audio form goodness. You can even tell it was even recorded at the con4! (Some parts, more than others. Also we originally planned on releasing this much, much earlier.) Since MTAC decided this year to Go to 11, so di...

This is the stuff! It’s BONUSPALOOZA! This time, Basil goes to digitally chill with the intrepid, dashing, and always classy Reverse Thieves on their Speakeasy podcast as we talk about Kekkaishi. You know, the greatest and most awesome shonen series you people still aren’t paying attention to! See, we know this, because we talked about this show on the OSMcast waaaaaay back in show #11. That was b...

For those keeping track from the previous BONUS, the PSN won. :( The MTAC podcast is on it’s way, but in the meantime here’s a podcast where Basil joins the fine fellows of   One Pixel Jump and talk about this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo, aka E3. Listen on as they discuss the conferences, the Cheetos, the Reggies, the Vitas, the Kinects, the dramas, the _pathos _of video games. And by pat...

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Basil releases a podcast a week and a half late! Not only is it late, but it’s fractured, depressed husk of a glorious experimental OSMcast that failed to be realized. In other words, pretty much you get Basil, Rail, and Kevin talking about some cool stuff then we tell you all about this awesome local anime con that has now already happened. That said, most of that time was...

Now let's see who gets back online first, the OSMcast! or PSN! So, unfortunately due to the nature of our producer’s job constantly sending him out of state as bookends to the natural disaster that hit Alabama, we haven’t had a chance to get our MTAC podcast mastered yet. However, Basil has also been pulling regular duty on another podcast, a video game podcast by the name of the Sestren Dreamcast...

Hey when you get to watch animation looking this good, your jaw is going to drop it like it's hot as well. Since last time we talked about a movie that was awesome and incredibly hard to find at a decent price, we decided to instead talk about a movie that is awesome and quite readily available! So here’a s a podcast all about Mamoru Hosoda’s and studio MADHOUSE’s Summer Wars. OSMnotes The interne...

Urusei Yatsura 2: Beautiful Dreamer So what happens when Mamoru Oshii decides to stretch his directing chops with a Rumiko Takahashi property? You get the excellent film Urusei Yatsura 2: Beautiful Dreamer. What happens when you get two anime geeks in a  room with a microphone to talk about said film? You get this podcast. OSMnotes You know, back when I bought this film last year, I paid around $2...

The best movie of 2011 you probably never saw! This podcast was in fact so angry, we had to let it cool down for an extra two weeks just so we could get it out here. It’s all about Nicolas Cage’s latest vehicle of awesomeness, Drive Angry. Always angry special guest Daryl Surat joins us for this drive-filled action packed people talking exciting episode of excitement. We talk about all sorts of th...

Kami-Con's mascot, Kosho. Apparently the con has sister mascots, and she's the dark one. I think. The con season has already kicked into full swing and lo, we bring you once more the REAL SHIT about a recent convention, specifically Kami-Con, in the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa that happened this past weekend. So here it is, a whole lot of on the spot audio interviews. At Kami-Con. OSMnotes...

PixelCon 2011 On a whim of a flight of fancy, basil decided to take a quick road trip over to Tuscaloosa to check out PixelCon: A Convention for Gamers , and see what the haps were. Is haps even used nowadays? Hmm. Well, here’s the haps anyway, straight from the con goers mouths, into a microphone, then regurgitated into mp3 format. Share and enjoy! OSMnotes Okay, so actually Rail drove Basil ther...

OSMrobo got into the whole video game thing a little bit TOO much... It’s time to kick ass , take names , and chew some gum as the OSMcast wraps up the 2010 OSMawards with 2 hours of video game talk. Which is a lot. OSMnotes The OSMcast have been pretty busy lately! Basil guest-started on the one of the latest episodes of the Chainsaw Buffet podcast , where they did even more year in review hijink...

According to Lee: "The blue lines aren't because I drew it on notebook paper. They are in fact the enemy robot's barrier shield that the OSMrobo is ripping through." As we all know, the first thing you do in a new year is to look back at the previous year, unless you have a decade to deal with. So to ring in 2011 we have got the first half of the 2010 OSMawards! In this just-shy-of-two-h...

Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier To finish off the year, we here at the OSMcast decided to give the gift that keeps on giving: chest puppies a podcast! In this case, we talk about Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier, from Atlus by way of Banpresto and Monolith Soft. And in the spirit of fan service, for the second half of the podcast where we actually TALK about the boobalicio...

You kids still like that Soul Eater, right? The OSMcast returns somewhat triumphant from our holiday hiatus with an episode all about holiday Christmas Specials! So warm up some eggnog, curl up at the fire, and do whatever holiday things that you do while we spin you a yarn of holiday cheer and bullets. OSMnotes We tried something off the cuff with Basil asking for comments from his Twitter. It se...

It’s time to hit another OSMcast out of the park as we talk about Mitsuru Adachi’s Cross Game! That said, the only actual OSMcast player on this one is Basil, as everyone else was brought in from other podcasts. We’re joined by the Reverse Thieves : Hisui and Narutaki, as well as by Drew of Akihabra Renditions . So one could say it’s an All-Star team this episode. Also, it’s two hours long, probab...

Micah Solusod Back in June at HamaCon here in Huntsville, AL we got the chance to talk to one of Funimation’s freshest talents, Micah Solusod! He’s probably best known for his work as Soul Eater Evans in Soul Eater. However he has already been in several roles, including stuff from Birdy the Mighty Decode, Big Windup!, and Corpse Princess. He recently has reopened his website which you should tota...

dollar dollar bill y'all Some people say that today is Columbus Day, where some _dude _in 1492 took an unexpected vacation to the Bahamas. Some others will tell you that today is National Coming Out Day, a day of civil awareness and discourse about LGBT , in which I have discovered is NOT the acronym for Legend of the Galactic Heroes , I just always get those confused! BUT NO. Today is actually th...

Anime Weekend Atlanta - September 17th-19th, 2010 Another year, another AWA. Another AWA, another podcast about AWA!

We talk about the graphic novels by Bryan Lee O’Malley, the movie adaption of said graphic novels directed by Edgar Wright, as well as the video game that adapts from _both _those things made by Ubisoft Montreal. That’s a lot of stuff! GET YOUR LI...

Black Jack. He's a REAL DOCTOR. For this episode of the OSMcast_!_ we decided to tangle with Osamu Tezuka’s Black Jack, being released by  Vertical . But frankly the dark doctor was more than we could handle alone, so we had to call in some  back up. Who in the world could save us? None other than Clarissa from the Anime World Order podcast! So come listen in as we talk about the surgical sweetnes...
