Anime World Order Podcast

Nope, it's not really a new episode, but here's the audio to our interviews with Christine Auten and Nobuteru Yuuki, conducted at Otakon 2006. We should be back on schedule next week. Visit http://www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Better late than never, I guess. Daryl reviews the horror anime Requiem From the Darkness, Clarissa reminisces on The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya now that it's ended, and Gerald talks about his favorite anime of all time, Gall Force. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

In an attempt to more accurately reflect what this podcast is SUPPOSED to be, Gerald reviews the new(ish) anime Fantastic Children, Clarissa reviews the not-so-surprisingly forgotten A Wind Named Amnesia, and Daryl's search for THE TRUTH at anime conventions continues with Part 2 of The Japanese Animation Convention is Decadent and Depraved! Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

It's another 90 minutes of mirth as Gerald talks about Goshogun: The Time Etranger aka. Time Stranger in the newer DVD release, Daryl reviews Discotek's latest classic anime DVD release Puss n' Boots, and Clarissa gawks over little boys more than even Michael Jackson would as she discusses CLAMP Campus Detectives! Visit http://www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

This week, our special guest is Steve Harrison, which is fitting because this week none of us have a clue what we're talking about! Gerald rants about the state of the anime industry, Daryl does a braindump of MD Geist, and Clarissa reviews Shinesman! Informed viewpoints? What are those?! Visit http://www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

It's all about the catfights this week as Clarissa talks about Air Master, Daryl reviews Shadow Skill, and Gerald discusses Project A-Ko! Outrageous! Truly outrageous! Visit http://www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

The sound quality on this is pretty bad. We did the best we could to amplify this sufficiently so that people could hear it, but the levels are all over the place and we apologize in advance. This week, Gerald reviews one of his all-time favorites Crusher Joe, Daryl reviews the Often Overlooked Prefectural Earth Defense Force, and Clarissa continues her "pretty boys in armor" overview by telling about Ronin Warriors aka Yoroiden Samurai Troopers. Visit http://www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

The theme of this episode was "disasters," and that's what befell us all. Gerald was going to review Spriggan but couldn't find the words, Clarissa reviews the "gay porn only without the porn" title My Sexual Harassment (and eventually found the words), and Daryl's ongoing search for THE TRUTH leads him to the simple, startling, and plagiarized revelation that The Japanese Animation Convention is Decadent and Depraved. Visit http://www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

This episode is entirely about anime and manga which itself is about obsessive fans of anime and manga, or otaku. Gerald reviews Otaku no Video, Clarissa reviews Genshiken, and Daryl reviews Welcome to the NHK. Visit http://www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

It's flexible, it's metal, it's our 21st podcast as Daryl reviews Giant Robo (perhaps his favorite anime ever), Gerald reviews Combattler V, and Clarissa tackles Saint Seiya! Visit http://www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

This week, it's all anime reviews as Clarissa talks about Ouran High School Host Club, Gerald reviews the limited edition release of Patlabor the Movie, and all will receive the anime blessing...and the cleansing. But will they lift up their arms and praise Daryl for reviewing Karas, as the vapors make them pure? NNNAYYYY, they will WAIL and SCREAM, most ungrateful...! Visit http://www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

It's a sappho-riffic episode of Anime World Order this week as Clarissa reviews Maria-sama ga Miteru, Daryl kicks SCIENCE~! like no one else can by talking about the Often Overlooked Ippatsu Kikimusume (in clear defiance of the episode's yuri theme), and Gerald reviews the hentai title Another Lady Innocent. Visit http://www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Our special guest (via a kind of flaky telephone line) is Ken Nabbe aka Joey Snackpants, the chair of JACON, a local Florida anime convention which all of us attended and ran panels at. We talk about the history of the convention and the club which founded it, what happened at JACON 2006, and what we can expect from JACON in the future. THE TRUTH about JACON will be revealed at a later date. Visit http://www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

We skipped a week because of Jacon, but we're still lazy! As compensation for this relatively segment-light episode, we present to you the long-awaited next part of Daryl's search for THE TRUTH. This time, at Megacon. Visit http://www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

The show was running long this week, so we're pushing the Megacon report back yet another week. Clarissa explains it all about Eyeshield 21 and Gerald reviews the classic anime Taro the Dragon Boy. Visit http://www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.
