Anime World Order Podcast

In this episode, Daryl reviews one of his favorite titles from the 2010s which is finally readily available for viewing in English: the two-part theatrical film adaptation of the formative shojo classic Haikara-san: Here Comes Miss Modern! (Spoilers: Gerald thought it absolutely sucked and is of appeal to nobody who is watching anime in the 21st century.) Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

We are joined by Evan Minto of the newly launched digital manga service Azuki as well as the Ani-Gamers podcast to recap Otakon 2021, which we all attended. How are anime conventions faring in what was supposed to be the tail end of the COVID-19 pandemic? Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

It's our 200th episode! To celebrate, we interview the UK's Most Dangerous anime scholar garderner/poet, Helen McCarthy! Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

We slacked off on getting to this one, but at least it's thematically appropriate for Daryl reviews The Irresponsible Captain Tylor, soon to be released on Blu-Ray in the US. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Yeah, yeah, we missed releasing this in March. But hey, it means that we can talk about the anime that just ended, and what's about to start! In this episode, Gerald reviews the 1992 3-part OAV series Green Legend Ran. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplementary links.

We flip-flop a bit on our promise to be the anime podcast that sticks to talking about anime, but after a while Clarissa gets us back on track by talking about 2016's Flip Flappers, per request of our Patreon donors. See? We pay attention to those requests sometimes! Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

It's our Sweet Sixteenth year of podcasting! To celebrate, Daryl decides we need more Ken Ishikawa so we review 1989's Kyomu Senshi Miroku. But we think it's probably Kyomu Senki Miroku? Whatever, you'll surely be hearing about this from the YouTubers soon enough. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

At long last, it is finished. The words of triumph may be spoken now. The debt is paid in full, for the 2010s Decade in Review COMES TO A CONCLUSION~! as we talk about the notable titles of 2019...that we managed to see, anyway, because truth be told we still haven't seen a lot of the shows we wanted to from last year. NEVERTHELESS. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

It's the 7th annual trivia episode! For this edition we're joined by Ryan aka BlacOtaku1 on Twitter and OldtypeNewtype on Tumblr. How infuriating will the categories be this year? ONLY ONE WAY TO FIND OUT. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

We may be losing our grasp on the passage of time, but it's still almost the end of 2020 and we never finished our 2010s Decade In Review. We'd better get 2018 out of the way RIGHT NOW. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

You asked for this. Literally. Thanks to Patreon support, we have brought The Internet's Mike Toole on to discuss the theatrical film Mobile Suit Gundam Narrative, whose US Blu-Ray release is now but mere days away. Oh boy. It's one of THOSE episodes. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

In what Gerald describes as possibly the greatest episode of AWO ever recorded, we review the 2018 Netflix anime adaptation of Baki. We thought we'd have the Gundam NT episode out before this, but we're doing that...SOON. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Think you can prank OUR Patreon? We?ll show YOU. Here are TWO episodes this month (technically, by a few hours)!

Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

It's 4th of July as we post this, so what better way to commemorate than by Clarissa reviewing a tale of the pursuit of the American Dream gone awry? I guess you could say that's what 2018's Banana Fish was about. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

We give our thoughts on the virtual anime convention Anime Lockdown, and then the Decade In Review continues on as we get to 2-2-2016!!!! Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

The last episode was supposed to come out in February but didn't come out until March, so in order to make up for lost time we are double-dipping and continuing on with THE DECADE IN REVIEW~!, as we look back on the year 2015. This is quite a task, considering that a year's worth of world events seem to have already happened between January 2020 and March 2020 alone. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

In this episode, we technically do but don't fulfill a Patreon review request as Gerald reviews the greatest OAV of all by Koichi Ohata, the 5-part saga of Genocyber.

Another decade is upon us, so we figure the world is finally ready to hear about 2003's Beast Fighter: The Apocalypse. Also, the Decade in Review continues as we get around to covering 2014! Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

For our last show of the year, we interview Right Stuf co-founder Shawne Kleckner and tick off another year of the 2010s Decade in Review. That's our way of saying this show is over three hours long.

We?ve got a short window between conventions, writing assignments, and natural disasters to release an episode, so let?s take advantage!

It's October now, so that does mean we missed September.
