Anime World Order Podcast

Hurricane Irma may have left us without power for weeks but we are FINALLY back to talk about our time at Otakon 2017 before Daryl reviews the 2001 film Osamu Tezuka?s Metropolis. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

After saying we'd do it back during our Garzey's Wing review and then proceeding to put it off for nearly six years due to fear, the time has finally come. We're joined once again by The Internet's Mike Toole, now Editor-at-Large for the Anime News Network and still the biweekly author of The Mike Toole Show to talk about the six-part ONA series The Wings of Rean. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

In this episode, Gerald reviews the just-recently concluded (for now, anyway!) Saga of Tanya the Evil. Will this turn out exactly as envisioned, or exactly the opposite? ONLY ONE WAY TO FIND OUT. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Since we've got to spend most of June working on panels, we'll try and knock out an episode or two this month. This time around, Clarissa reviews the relatively recent anime series Flying Witch, for which print editions of the manga have just started to be released in English. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Though technically it's already like a year late, we finally review Mobile Suit Gundam 00! Note: this isn't edited. Like, at all in fact. Normally we edit for clarity and to remove cross-talk, excess noise, table banging, and the like. NOT THIS TIME. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

It's been entirely too long since we've reviewed something from before the 1980s, so we all checked out the Toei Douga 1975 film adaptation of The Little Mermaid to see how it compares to the original story...and yes, the Disney film everyone knows! Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

We're not done awakening the trailblazers yet as planned, so for this special extra large THANKSGIVING DAY episode, Gerald's put together another exciting trivia episode to expose how little Daryl and Clarissa know, even when the topics pertain to things previously reviewed on this very show! Plus, we're joined by Dawn from the Anime Nostalgia Podcast, who agreed to show up mere hours before the start of recording and mere minutes after waking up. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

It's a podcast. It's a special podcast. It's got super discussions about Code Geass, Berserk Season 2, Anime Weekend Atlanta 2016, and Gerald's review of a Most Dangerous film from 1986, Ai City. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

We missed the entire month of August, so we may as well double up with our con report on Otakon 2016 as well as Clarissa's review of the recent NoitaminA series Erased. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

We've got a bit of time between one convention and another, so Gerald takes this opportunity to review the recently-concluded Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

With Anime Fan Fest 2016 concluded and our writing deadlines met, we've got a short window before AnimeNEXT 2016 where we'll all be guests and be presenting panels to record and release a new episode. In this episode, Daryl reviews Food Wars!: Shokugeki no Soma. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Daryl was a guest at Anime Fan Fest 2016, and used the opportunity to finally get some time with Charles Dunbar, Darius Washington, and Sean O'Mara. The topic was allegedly How to Stay Excited Over Anime After Decades but it was early in the morning and everyone just talked at one another about who knows what. Same as usual, minus the early in the morning part I suppose. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

This episode came out a month late because of trauma incurred by a CG talking dog and also CG drifting cars, the one-two punch of which was enough to give Gerald pause before he could review the CG anime adaptation of Knights of Sidonia. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

The following episode contains zero edits whatsoever to remove microphone pops, crosstalk, dead air, us saying UM, clearing our throats constantly, or anything that in any way makes the listening experience palatable or enjoyable. That is because we are reviewing Initial D. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplementary links.

Ten years sure is easy to type, but living them's another story! To celebrate our decade of podcasting, we er, had nothing planned. But it's a new year, so let's do a 2015 Year in Review despite the fact that we never did 2010 through 2014. Look, we never figured this whole podcasting thing out, okay?
