Listen Now:

Show 62 was running pretty long and we needed to get SOMETHING out before Thanksgiving, so we figured we'd put the con report for Anime Weekend Atlanta 2007 up as its own separate thing. You know, so you have something to listen to while you're waiting in line/traffic on Black Friday. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Listen Now:

Are we deliberately trying to get people to stop listening to us? Not only is this episode late, it's also nearly three hours long. THREE HOURS LONG. And it's another all-mecha podcast! Gerald reviews Space Runaway Ideon, Clarissa tells us about Gravion, and Daryl might need a helping hand with Godannar. Huh huh, huh huh. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Listen Now:

Finally, an actual episode again! Clarissa reviews Suzuka, and Daryl not only recounts his experience at Florida Supercon, but also reviews Barefoot Gen, which is a very important work indeed.

Listen Now:

This is Gerald's report on Otakon 2007. It was the length of an entire episode on its own, so we have split it apart from the regular show and given it this separate feed item. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Listen Now:

Skype's acting haywire, so we don't have a show for THIS week either. Here then is the audio for the interview we did with Colleen Clinkenbeard at Anime Festival Orlando 2007. We're even more addled than in the first interview. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

We don't actually have a show recorded for this week, so here's the audio to our interview from Anime Festival Orlando 2007 with Funimation voice actor, director, and comicbook artist Sonny Strait (Krillin in DBZ, Hughes in FMA). None of us have ever done a live interview before prior to this. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

You thought last week was pain? This week is ALL bad anime. Daryl secretly loves Angel Cop, Gerald is ashamed to own The Humanoid, and Clarissa's blood pressure is DA BOMB when she watches Zaizen Jotaro. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Listen Now:

Everything this week causes pain one way or another as Daryl reviews Demon City Shinjuku, Clarissa reviews Birth / Planet Busters, and Gerald wraps things up with Megazone 23 III. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Listen Now:

After over a month of no new recordings, we have returned, but our attempt to resume normal releases hit some roadblocks. This week, Daryl's finally talking about the Sanrio film Sea Prince and the Fire Child, Gerald discusses the Gainax television series Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water, and Clarissa goes nuts over MPD Psycho. This file is the first hour or so of the show, encapsulating all segments except for the news and the Nadia review which are available as a separate download on the feed. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Listen Now:

We're releasing the news as well as the Nadia review in their own file separate from the rest of Show # 55 since these two segments alone run about two hours in all. We go over some of the news items arising out of Anime Expo 2007 and talk all about Fushigi no Umi no Nadia. Beware: discussion of "the island episodes" are contained within. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Listen Now:

After a month of procrastination and being occupied with actual work, we conclude the super-extended Show # 54 with Clarissa's review of Ai no Kusabi. Its DBR--Dudes Bein' Rude--rating is quite powerful indeed. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Listen Now:

It's time, it's time, it's...GERALD TIME! The extra drawn-out Show 54 continues as a result of Daryl's moving, so this week is Gerald's review of Black Lion by the almighty Go Nagai. Egged on by Daryl's solo recordings last week, Gerald follows suit. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Listen Now:

Please don't let this be your first impression of this podcast. Please? Show 54 continues with Daryl's advance review of 009-1...but due to technical difficulties and the onset of madness, Daryl decided to record the remaining segments...BY HIMSELF. As such, this is probably the single worst segment of AWO ever. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Listen Now:

In an attempt to at least release SOME content on a weekly basis, we're splitting Show 54 up across the next few weeks. This is our report for JACON 2007. Normally we'd try and keep this to 20-30 minutes, but...yeah, we failed at that. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Listen Now:

Daryl reviews Record of Lodoss War, Gerald reviews The Notenki Memoirs, and Clarissa reviews the BL anthology J-Boy. Apologies for the delay, but it's probably not the last of it. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Listen Now:

This week, it's all stuff we're feeling kind of "eh" about, which partially accounts for why it took so long for us to edit it.

Listen Now:

This is not like our usual episodes, so don't let this be your first episode you hear. We keep asking for voicemails, but we never seem to play them. Here we shall rectify this and also procrastinate on releasing Show # 50. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Listen Now:
