In honor of our addiction, please have a podcast all about it. OSMnotes Don't worry! Our podcast New Year's Resolution for 2016 is to get back into the swing of things. For real this time.

So speaking of Momocon , this was the first year where they really blew up their video gaming to something truly huge. Something special. they called it the MGX, or Momocon Gaming Experience. Not only was there tons of tabletop gaming to be had, or console gaming, or even an arcade, as they had all of these things. But what Momocon also had, was an indies space for video games. And along with our...

Long time, no podcast? Well, let's fix that! We're going to start with an OSMinterview we did with Greg Weisman during this year's Momocon along with the Chainsaw Buffet podcast. Greg Weisman was one of the co-creators of Disney animated series Gargoyles, and also worked on Young Justice, as well as Star Wars Rebels. We talk to him about all those things, but we also chatted about his books Rain o...

In our final interview of the MTAC 15 to Life Series, we got found out who Erica Mendez's Love Live is!

But importantly, we find out who her favorite Love Live is. Because We Know What Anitwitter Wants™. Of course we talk about her a...

In our second interview of the MTAC 15 to Life Series, we had the wonderful chance to chat with Tiffany Grant. While best known for her role in Neon Genesis Evangelion,as Asuka, she has also been a ton of other roles!

Sometimes, you just gotta talk about cartoons. And in this latest, greatest episode of the OSMcast, we do just that! This is the episode where we talk about Rebecca Sugar's and Cartoon Network's Steven Universe. It's a show about a boy and his three awesome magical moms. Or aunts. Or, something. It's pretty great. We also remissness about that MMO we are always playing, as well as MTAC (next year...

Waaaaaaaaaay back in the earlier days of the OSMcast!, we met a young man named Micah Solusod. Turned out he was the English Voice Over Artist for the role of Soul in Soul Eater. Since then, the man has gone to do a whole lot more of that Voice Over Stuff! Guy's been in Wolf Children, Kamisama Kiss, and just recently was one of the main guys in the English adaption of Ping Pong: the Animation! So...

The OSMcast has returned! We have come back to to talk about all sorts of things! But primarily, Kami-Con, a fun anime con in Birmingham, Alabama.

Since last time we did it in the order of Video Games, then TV Shows, THEN Movies, we decided to switch things up! Into reverse order! So now it’s Movies, then...

The gang’s all here. It’s time to ring in the year two thousand and fifteen, and what better way to do that than with our longest episode title to date! Serioulsy… It could be the name of a light novel. Well, I guess we would need to make it “The OSMcast Roundtable of Our Youth and Current Age That One Winter Evening About PlayStation 3, 4, PSP and Vita.” Ok, now it’s a light novel book title. But...

The Sony PlayStation 2 We continue on our journey throughout all of PlayStation,.focusing this time on the Sony PlayStation 2. We talk about  the system, it’s games, and some more about it’s games. It’s a nostalgic action-packed episode that the whole family can enjoy! As long as they can enjoy some folks talking about the PlayStation 2 for a couple of hours, anyway. But to not leave all our Realm...

The Sony PlayStation As it turns out, there has now been twenty years of PlayStation. So we decided to talk about those twenty years on the OSMcast! But as it turns out, there was a lot, a LOT to talk about just about the first PlayStation! So listen on as we intend to talk about all of the PlayStation, then instead only talk about the first of PlayStation. That said, we had a ton to say. We talk...

Monthly Girls’ Nozaki-kun We here at the OSMcast! are very thankful for many things. We are thankful that you listen! We are thankful that when we ask for questions, people send them! We are also thankful for Monthly Girls’ Nozaki-kun. Which is an anime based of a manga by Izumi Tsubaki and adapted by Dogakobo. We are also thankful for Dragons, Ages, Tea, and Not Losing Your Way. We are not so tha...

Whoa! So, it’s been a while! Sorry about that. When we last updated, Basil and Kevin were heading off to AWA, while Doug left for Japan. And while there were plans for updates after that, instead we all got really sick. Really, really sick. But a few weeks ago we got back together, and recorded a podcast of questions solicited from Twitter. Then Basil got slammed with exams and getting stuff ready...

This is the happiest of cartoons~ So since we are gearing up for Anime Weekend Atlanta and we know you kids like those Japanese cartoons, we decided to talk about one! This time we decided to talk about Ringing Bell, an anime from the studio that Sanrio built, helmed by Masami Hata and base doff the book by Takashi Yanase. Also released by Discotek and with excellent commentary track by Mike Toole...

Pizza! Now, our tagline for the OSMcast has always been, “Your podcast for everything awesome.” And that normally has been in reference to anime, manga, video games,movies, things that we consume. However, food is also a thing that we consume. We have obviously left out a category of things that are awesome that we haven’t podcasted about. That, or we have officially jumped the shark and have ruin...

That’s them, alright. Another podcast, another episode where we talk about Monthly Girls’ Nozaki-kun. We mean Marvel’s latest movie, Guardians of the Galaxy. Which once again proved to us here at OSM Central that the way to our hearts is for Marvel to make awesome films about space and featuring wicked warhammers. That could be just for Basil, though. Eh, close enough! … That warhammer, though… OS...

If there was a bingo card for all that is good about Dragon Ball, this movie would win all the Dragon Balls. There are some things we thought we would never see. One of things being a Dragon Ball Z movie in theaters in America. Furthermore, a Dragon Ball Z movie in a theater in our own town. For that Dragon Ball Z movie to be highly entertaining. We also never thought we would see a movie called D...

Still cartoons! Cartoons are still great! And lo, a year has passed since we all watched the second season, or Book as the kids call it, of the Legend of Korra. But what does that MEAN. Was it worth it? Were they able to write themselves out of the hole that was the complete story arc of Book One? And by that we mean that Book One ended in a way that really didn’t need another season, so the hole...

You probably watched this a bunch when you were kids, but you may discover that you never truly watched it at all! Ooooo deep. So our last “normal” podcast about a movie reinvention of an old franchise. Therefore we decided to go back to an entirely different franchise, and talk about one of their earlier movies. That franchise is Jim Henson’s Muppets, and that movie is 1981’s The Great Muppet cap...

Martin Billany aka LittleKuriboh Wrapping up our MTAC in Love interviews we did, here’s the one we recorded with Martin Billany! Although most people know him as LittleKuriboh, creator of Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series. We here at the OSMcast know the name as the name that Basil cannot pronounce, ever. Thankfully, this interview is nothing about that. It’s instead about more fun, or Billany-esque t...
