OSMcast! & The Carbuncle Chronicle

I GUESS you could see it in 3D but we didn’t! So. Podcast. Gozilla. 2014. What else is there to say? Well a bunch actually as this is a pretty packed OSMcast! We introduce a brand new segment all about this MMO that the whole crew is playing aka Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn! Sure we say it’s a minute do is it ever? We also bring back the love as well with the hate, and then top it all off wit...

Vedetta Marie ScatterDOTFashion Sometimes, you gotta spin the wheel, play the cards, hit the Greed button in an MMO and hope you come out of the dungeon with a pretty cool new thing. At this past MTAC (that MTAC In Love con you’ve been hearing so much from us about?), we took a chance. We had an interview that we seriously had no clue what was going to happen. Thankfully, we came out of it with a...

JUST ONE uh… something? Just one.. Yeah… What happens when you get a starry-eyed fresh cut vigilante paired up with an only slightly-nonsense cop? Oh, and make it an anime? You get Samurai Flamenco, animated by Manglobe. What happens wehn you get some people talking into a microphone about an anime about a starry-eyed fresh cut vigilante paired up with an only slightly-nonsense cop? You get a podc...

The Hatmaster. Or Meister. Anime loves Meisters. We’re not done MTAC in Lovin’ yet, folks! We had a chance to sit down several amazing people during this year MTAC , and we have only just begun releasing those interviews! But out of all of them, Samantha Inoue-Harte might be the most interesting of bunch. At the very least, she has them all beat in just sheer quantities of hats she has worn throug...

Another Year, another Easter, another MTAC . Like in years  of the past, we ventured into the Middle Tennessee Anime Convention for their latest year, MTAC In Love. But. were we in love with the con this year? Well, like any loving relationship, we had our ups, and our downs. There were some missed communications, but at the same time there were moments of bliss. Ultimately though, at the end of t...

It’s time to ta- ta- ta- talk! At MTAC in Love, we got the rare opportunity to interview the king of games himself, Dan Green. Dan Green is an American voice actor, voice director and script adapter who has worked for 4Kids Entertainment, DuArt Film and Video, NYAV Post and Central Park Media. He is best known as the voice of Yugi Muto from Yu-Gi-Oh!, Trudge from Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s, Knuckles the Echid...

Don’t lose your- Man does that joke get old? So far… no! No time for filler introductions, this OSMcast is about studio Trigger’s first time to really shine and put on it’s Sunday Best for their latest show: Kill la Kill. It reunites director Hiroyuki Imaishi and writer Kazuki Nakashima of Gurren Lagann fame, and we talk all about it. We also talk about the merits of owning a Nintendo 3DS versus a...

We may be launching this episode on April Fool's Day but this is podcast is no joke! By and large, anyway. This is more an excuse to show off Doug's extensive (and still growing teapot!) collection. If you have ever wanted to know about teapots, what to look for in teapots, or just general teapot knowledge, this the podcast for you. For teapots. TEAPOTSnotes SURE we talked about some teapots but i...

Look, it may come as a surprise to discover that the children might also be wolves. But don’t worry, it’s cool. So when we last OSMcast!ed we ended up trying a Japanese animated film from an acclaimed filmmaker, we ended up not liking the film nearly as much as we hoped. This time, we decided to go back to our standard method of talking about something we knew we already really liked. Which, so it...

This past weekend the OSMcast decided to hit up our local cinema and see the latest (and perhaps last) film by Hayao Miyazaki, and Studio Ghibli. And as it turns out, it’s kind of a conflicted movie. So here is our own conflicted take on this dual adaption of both the life of Jiro Horikoshi, the man who designed the Mitsubishi A6M Zero, as well as Tatsuo Hori’s short story, The Wind Has Risen. It’...

Kami-Con Season 6: Heartless in Wonderland, where the hearts roam free and wild and uh, less? In our first con report of 2014, we decided to head down to Birmingham, AL to check out Kami-Con ‘s sixth year. As it turns out, we had a great time at the con! Sadly, not such a great time in the city. However, you’ll be able to hear all about the good, the bad, and the awesome contained in audio form th...

Even in the age of ancient gods, I have never heard that the Tatsuta River dyed its water in autumn red. Like the salt sea-podcast, Recording in the evening calm.

Here we are with OSMcast Show #113, all about Madhouse’s anime adaption of Yuki Suetsugu’s poetic card conqueror manga, Chihayafu...

 OK no I get it this just an OH LOOK THE OSMCAST JUST JUMPED THE SHARK joke just waiting to happen but I DON’T CARE so THERE. It’s only a couple of days, perhaps even less of 2013, so we decided to send of the year with an extra supplemental episode of the OSMcast, covering the extra DLC case for Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies, the ca...

It’s beginning to to look a lot like awesome. Everywhere you go~ It’s the most wonderful time of the year and so we decided to podcast about a most wonderful movie. Since it is the season of holidays, we brought out one of our favorites: Satoshi Kon’s and studio Madhouse’s film, Tokyo Godfathers. You know, that lovable scamp of a movie all about three homeless people and a baby? Yeah, that movie....

If only France was actually this cool! Podcasting to be the very best, like no one ever was, the latest OSMcast! is all Nintendo’s and Game Freak’s latest duo of RPGs, Pokémon X. Oh, and also Y. For you see, as it turns out, Basil, Doug, and Kevin all ended up getting Pokémon X . So we brought in our buddy Barry to represent the Y. But not the Ys. That would be different game entirely. Still a pre...

Object- Oh you know what they are doing already! Tonight, on the OSMcast we plumb the depths and crack open the case of one Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies. A lawyer-esque video game for your 3DS Nintendo Portable Entertainment System. And by we, I mean Basil aka uh… Basil aka Ed Chavez fan #1 from said OSMcast as well as one Alain aka Hisui aka Saber fan #1 from the The Reverse Thie...

So with Hamacon’s Minicon going on this past Saturday (Which went very well thank you for asking!), we did not have a chance to record an OSMcast proper. However, we didn’t want to leave you hanging and as it just so happens… Basil was on the latest episode of the Chainsaw Buffet talking about GMX, Tennessee’s Geek Media Expo . Listen in on talks of Peggle ! Awesome shojo-esque Kickstarters ! How...

Yeah, I got nuthin. But chainsaws. Why hello there! Would you like a podcast? Because we have one! The  story of this podcast is thus: Basil was super busy and did not have to plan or assemble a normal OSMcast, and so enlisted the mightiest warriors from throughout the land. And ended up with John and Dylan from the Chainsaw Buffet. And as we had more Buffet than OSM this time, the podcast runs th...

OTAKON 2013 AUGUST 9-10-11, 2013 Con season* is upon us again folks and this time the OSMcast went to one of the biggest anime cons of them all: Otakon ! The anime con SO big the city it is in can barely contain it. And so big, the OSMcast alone could not handle it. Well, we probably could but we thought it would be fun to chat about the con with some friends. And what better friends could we have...

Yikes, time moves forward what’s the deal with that. 5 years and change ago, three idiots with a microphone sat down and started talking into it. Then, they turned that microphone on. And plugged it into a computer. And conned a friend to edit the audio. And created a podcast. Today, those same idiots release their 100th full-featured episode. This the OSM100, where the OSMcast looks back to the e...
