Anime World Order Podcast

Due to overwhelming demand--well, it was more like one person--Daryl has posted more audio of himself that can charitably be described as "filler" while the next episode proper of AWO is prepared. Contains a hopefully fair overview of Sakura-con 2012. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

In this episode, Clarissa SPEAKS~! about her favorite things: gay porn and horror, the two girliest genres there is. After a slew of yaoi manga recommendations that gay men might like, she reviews the anime mystery/horror series Another. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Due to anime conventions, magazine deadlines, and to a lesser extent DE REEPAZ we missed our chance to release this way back in March when this was initially recorded. But in this episode, after dispensing some advice on running mecha panels at anime conventions Gerald reviews the unjustifiably recent theatrical film, Trigun: Badlands Rumble. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

We've been having a decent amount of guests on lately, huh? This time we are joined by Evan Minto from the Anigamers podcast and Genericon staff to talk about--PER HIS REQUEST--the notoriously disliked Sword for Truth by Osamu Dezaki and Akio Sugino. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

In this news-only installment, we discuss the recent Bandai Entertainment downsizing and cancelation of new releases. Our guests are professional anime translator Neil Nadelman (who's done many Bandai translations) and Anime News Network columnist Mike Toole. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

For the final segment of Show 102, Gerald reviews Model Suit Gunpla Builders Beginning G, which for brevity's sake we'll just call "Gunpla Builders," and continues to bombard us with trivia questions. Our guest remains Erin Finnegan, who is very displeased that we did not inform everyone that ERIN EDITED THIS PODCAST. Well, she did! Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

We missed a month. Again. We thought we'd record a thing with Erin from the Ninja Consultant podcast, aka Erin from ANN's Shelf Life. We thought we could win a war on trivia. But we lost the war against sibilance. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

After entirely too many years we once again have as a guest Patrick Macias! He's an author, editor, podcaster, Internet video star, and television personality. He's also a paranoiac who's a menace to our society, which is why we need HIM to back Gerald up as he reviews the...divisive...Rintaro film Harmagedon! Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Gerald and Daryl were on the latest episode of the Anime82 podcast, and since we STILL don't have a podcast of our own recorded yet, we're just going to abuse Creative Commons and post our audio segments from it. The full episode was 3 hours long; our part was 80 minutes! We said some...endearing...things! Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

The AWO was all present for this installment of the Ninja Consultant podcast, recorded at 2:30 AM on Saturday of Anime Weekend Atlanta 2011. Also present: the OSMCast!, the Most Dangerous Ed Chavez of Vertical Inc, and a [quite possibly Most] Dangerous Mystery Person! Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

It took about four years longer than it should have but we're finally at Show 100! To commemorate this occasion, we bring back Mike Toole to discuss Yoshiyuki Tomino's most heartfelt work...Garzey's Wing. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

This is the most un-weekly podcast ever. It?s been yet another month since episodes. You know what we were doing during that time? Being at Otakon 2011, followed by Anime Festival Orlando 2011. This is our convention report for the former. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

In the final hours of Otakon 2011, it was decided that the true Fantastic Four should covertly gather in a press room to talk about the final episode of Mad Bull 34, the prior 1:00 AM viewing of which threatened to keep Erin and Noah awake despite their 9:00 AM panel. This unedited podcast audio is the result. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Between the Steam Summer Sale, magazine deadlines, grad school, and con prep we forgot to record podcasts for 2 months. Gerald reviews the Dirty Pair TV series here. Listen to find out how to win a copy! Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Here's our review of our experience at Anime Boston 2011. We went to panels and did some too. Daryl overuses the phrase "wing it" in his recollections of events. Oh, and we talk about bara. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

For this episode we're joined by SF author, un-milky DJ, and Twitter entity Tim Maughan for a spoiler-free discussion of Redline by Takeshi Koike. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

We still haven't got the next episode edited yet (because we haven't STARTED editing it yet...) but in the meantime the three of us were interviewed by Andrew over at Podcast Squared, a podcast which specializes in reviewing other podcasts. Listen and find out THE SECRETS OF HOW TO BE COOL...or the direct opposite. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

In this episode, we interview the voice of like, everybody EVER, the one and only Steve Blum! Best known to gradually aging anime fans as the voice of Spike Spiegel in Cowboy Bebop and less aging anime fans as the voice of Leeron in Gurren Lagann, Steve has been warping youths for decades now. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Wow, we missed...quite some time! It's as though we disappeared! (Or perhaps expired?) To that note, Gerald reviews the manga Disappearance Diary...after we spend half the show talking about US animation for a change! Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

It took something like nine months, but now that Clarissa isn't working full time and taking a full load of graduate school classes she can now bring to us her review of the Viz Signature release of Kingyo Used Books. Joining us is "Chiaki" from the AAA Podcast. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

We didn't record anything at Genericon 2011 ourselves, but we did sit down for an interview with the Reverse Thieves for their podcast, The Speakeasy. We basically disrupted whatever was planned. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

We haven't posted anything lately, and with our convention appearance at Genericon impending, Daryl figured we may as well let people know that the convention appearance at Genericon actually exists! Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

In this recorded-on-New-Year's-Eve installment of AWO, Gerald reviews the recently-concluded Gainax anime series Panty and Stocking With Garterbelt...eventually. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

So concludes five years of podcasting! We begin Year 6 by reviewing Peepo Choo by Felipe Smith with special guest, Paul Chapman aka "The Almighty Gooberzilla" aka "White Daryl." Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Daryl decided to record this by himself in lieu of a real episode since everyone else has been busy for over a month. If you're naughty this Christmas, this may happen again. And you don't want that. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Boy, we sure put this one off! Daryl finally bites the bullet after saying he'd do it for four months and reviews Gosenzo-sama Banbanzai!, a little-known OAV from Mamoru Oshii. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Ah, Garcian...how long has it been? Entirely too long; we missed about two months of podcasting! But fear not, for we are back?long enough to record ONE review anyway! Gerald?s reviewing the old 1990 OAV series AD Police Files. If you haven't already done so, we recommend listening to our Show # 75a podcast on Bubblegum Crisis before this one, since AD Police Files is a prequel to that. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

It's been a month since the last episode due to Otakon 2010, so the least we could do is give you a convention report of it! While we're at it, we review the new theatrical film Welcome to the Space Show. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

We forgot to record a closing and tell people what we were reviewing next time. In fact, we took so long that we lost the voicemail number! Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

We sort of forgot to do news segments for the last several months! Oops! We also forgot to do a convention report for Anime Boston 2010, which Gerald attended as Press and Daryl/Clarissa attended as panelists. Let's tackle these before we get into the reviews. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

In this episode, we finally review that which had been suggested to us in that "suggest things for us to review" contest. Well, not THIS episode. Here, we're just answering emails. But you can listen to it for now since it's edited. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

What was supposed to be one or two bonus installments at most became a month-long affair, but it's finally over: the last bonus installment of our decade in review! Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

What should have been the final installment of the AWO 2000-2009 Decade in Review is now the penultimate since the recording went too long. No matter! That makes this a "mere" 45 minutes long! Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Matt Alt had to peace out to DC on a business trip, so we?ll be hitting up this installment of the decade in review without him. We cover two more years, and from this point on things start looking slightly bleak. You've been warned. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

The AWO decade in review soldiers on, and we are joined once again by TV's Matt Alt! We only got through two years this time, but there was a lot to talk about. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.
