Another time, another place. That time? 1984. That place? The movies! Where a rock & roll fable was born, yet no one watched it at the time. In America, anyway. In Japan, someone saw it. A few someones. A few someones, that would go on to make some of the coolest anime and video games around. Now, in 2025? It's the perfect time to go back to that another time, and another place. To go back to the 1984 cinematic cult classic, that is the theatrical film Streets of Fire. Or at least we did. You should too!OSMnotesSadly right now there is no easy to way to just find a handy dandy streaming service to watch Streets of Fire, but it's around to buy digitally…or even physically!Streets of Fire, How to Watch and/or Buy:Stream on Devices that Streamon Amazon Video (Buy or Rent)on Apple TV (Buy or Rent)on Fandango At Home (Buy or Rent)Buy on Blu-Rayon Amazonon Shout!

Hello Adventurers! We hope that this 24 Hour Maintenance of Final Fantasy XIV is treating you well. To help pass the time as we while away the hours for the game to come back online, we have a new episode covering the little things in latest Patch Notes for 7.2: Seekers of Eternity. Not the MSQ or the Combat Job revisions, or even the new raids… But the little things. The things you might gloss over at first glace, but once you dog in for deeper dive… Things that could still be pretty important!Spoiler Levels: Roast Chicken! Roasted to crispy perfection, then flavored with garlic and a hint of lemon, a single scent of this dish is enough to make the mouth water. The perfect dish to complement a podcast flavored with just a hint of spoilers! Just a few proper nouns here and there, really. Although it is about patch notes for the latest update for the game.OSMnotesHere are the complete7.2 Patch Notes, if you want to attempt to follow along!

Giant robots… What a concept! Who would have thought? Well, sure, lots of people have. In fact, we have talked about those great big ol' hunks of metal in animation a few times on this podcast before! Now? This time is no different. Okay, maybe a little bit different. But that's just the kind of show that Brave Bang Bravern! is. Different. Or maybe… Perhaps not so much? In any case, it sure was a show directed by the great Masami Obari and animated by the fine folks over at CygamesPictures. We also dig into the video games Suikoden I & 2 HD Remaster, the new Shonen Jump manga Star of Beethoven, and YouTube guy Mugiwara No Goofy.OSMnotesBrave Bang Bravern! is one helluva show, and you should go watch it!Brave Bang Bravern!

Well it only took us one hundred and ninety seven episodes, but we have finally done it! Our internet radio show has talked about actual radio. Kinda. We talked about an anime based off a manga that's about actual radio. Er, well okay, not an actual radio station, it was a fictional one. But the anime is real! It's called Wave, Listen to Me!, based off the manga by Hiroaki Samura. The anime was animated over at Sunrise, directed by Tatsuma Minamikawa. We also get into the anime Astro Note, the sudden reappearance of Ninja Gaiden games, and how One Piece is a good time.OSMnotesNow that you have listened to our song podcast, you may be asking yourself “Gosh, how can I check out this show and/or manga?” Do not worry!

Hello Adventurers! As Valentione's Day has just passed us by, we thought now would be a great time to show some of the characters in Final Fantasy XIV some love. As it just so happens, GPOSERS had kicked off the month with a post on Bluesky that links to a FFXIV character Tiermaker. And thus, after recording for three or so hours… and many… many more hours of editing after the fact, we now present to you The Official Carbuncle Chronicle Character Rankings: From ARR to Endwalker. But also, we talk a little bit about what we are excited for in the upcoming patch of 7.2: Seekers of Eternity.Spoiler Levels: Archon Loaf! Baked with either fish or vegetable flour, this fluffy loaf of rye bread is?from a nutritional standpoint?wholesome indeed. OK, so rather than fish or vegetable flour, this no-less fluffy loaf of a podcast is baked with love (and hate) for the many great (and terrible) NPCs that form the backbone of the MMORPG we all enjoy! So spoilers will, in fact, be aplenty.OSMnotesThank you to GPOSERS for the great idea prompt for the podcast topic! But without further ado, here's that final tier ranking image:But also, Time Cues! And just so you know, we end up going through the list alphabetically, so when you see a name listed in the cues that's where we are in the ranking: Ahewann thru Zenos.00:00:00 – Intro and Three Things We Are Looking Forward to in Patch 7.2!00:11:26 – The Character Tier Rankings Begin00:16:46 – Setting the Rules00:17:14 – We Each Pick a Winner00:24:41 – Ahewann, and Other Characters that Start With the Letter A00:40:31 – Beq Lugg, and Beyond00:56:00 – Estinien!!!01:14:59 – Kai-Shirr???01:26:33– Moenbryda, Forever in Our Hearts01:39:39– Pipin, and His Most Glorious Hair01:53:10– Ysayle, and Wrapping up the RankingsMusic is this episode features tracks such as “Sanctuary's Heart: Close in the Distance” (Remixed by DJ Mitsu the Beats), “The Aetherial Sea” (Composed by Masayoshi Soken, Arranged by Daiki Ishikawa), “Black and White” (Composed by Masayoshi Soken, Arranged by Yukiko Takada), “Pulse: A Long Fall” (Remixed by Takafumi Imamura), “estinien.mp4” (Remixed by Denmo McStronghuge), “Knowledge Never Sleeps” (Composed by Masayoshi Soken, Arranged by Yoshitaka Suzuki), “Magicked Skulls” (Composed by Masayoshi Soken), “Sultana Dreaming” (Composed by Masayoshi Soken), “Perfumed Eves” (Composed by Masayoshi Soken, Arranged by Daiki Ishikawa), “Your Answer” (Composed by Nobuo Uematsu, Arranged by Takafumi Imamura & Daiki Ishikawa), and “Pulse: Insatiable” (Remixed by Shoya Sunakawa).We also have YouTube Channels!

Hello Adventurers! And wait for it, no longer! Since we've gotten the vast majority of things one can do in the current patch that is 7.1: Crossroads, we figured now would be a great time to talk about it. But not only that, we also delve into some of things that we are looking forward coming to Final Fantasy XIV this year. (And in fact, after we recorded, we learned even more about what is coming soon since there has been a Live Letter all about 7.2: Seekers of Eternity!)Spoiler Levels: Popoto Chips!

It's now the year 2025, so what better way to kick off a new year… Than to release an episode that we meant to record and release in 2023! If it helps, it's about an anime that came out in 2020 that not enough people watched at the time. Including us! But we have now rectified that problem. As we have watched it, enjoyed it, and now are releasing a podcast it all about so you can hopefully enjoy it too!And that anime is Appare-Ranman! It's a wild crazy racing romp across the United States of America, brought to you by the studio at P.A. Works and directed by Masakazu Hashimoto. We also get into the anime version of I'm in Love with the Villainess, the tabletop role-playing game Fabula Ultima, as well as the video game hit sensation Balatro.OSMnotesLike we mentioned on the podcast you can both watch the anime on Crunchyroll, as well buy it on Blu-ray (Amazon | Crunchyroll Store)!

You know that ye ole holiday tune, The Christmas Song? You probably do, only most people would know it more as the “Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire” song. Well, this podcast is kinda like that. Only it's not chestnuts roasting, but spent mobile suit artillery shells. Still on a open fire, though! That's right, in the spirit of the season, we are talking about Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket. It's an anime OVA animated by Sunrise, directed by Fumihiko Takayama and written by Hiroyuki Yamaga. It's a great six episode story all about the wonders of asshole children, secret giant robots, and the true spirit of Christmas. Kinda.OSMnotesHappy holidays! All of them.

Ah, Fall. For many, it is the time for crisp, cooler air, pumpkin spice lattes, and bundling up all warm and toasty while you watch the leaves change from the colors of green to the colors of autumn. But if you're us? It's all about families of assassins, yakuza, military complexes, bear cults, and devious pro wrestlers. Or perhaps intrigue, spy craft, and amorous rendezvous aplenty! Oh, and murder. Just lots and lots of murder. All kinds. But mostly the kind of murder that's best served up by feet-knives.That's right, this time on the OSMcast we are talking about the manga and anime that is Crying Freeman! The manga was written by Kazuo Koike and illustrated by Ryoichi Ikegami. The anime was adapted by Toei Animation and was directed by Higashi Shimizu and Ryunosuke Ono.OSMnotesCrying Freeman!

Hello Adventurers! While our last episode was all about our journey through Dawntrail as it was happening, this one is looking back at after finishing the Mainline Story Quest (colloquially known as the MSQ). Since we are now in the thick of Patch 7.1: Crossroads, we wanted to make sure to take a beat before the patch hit and get our thoughts out before the game continues to change and grow.Joining us in reminiscing of uh, times not all that long passed, is our pal Umi aka Doug from OSMcast proper. He gives us a blow by blow of all the Jobs he's been playing since the new expansion came out, and came up with some excellent sound design tips! And how about that MSQ , huh? Stuff sure happens, and we talk all about it! Finally, we get ourselves all hyped up for the new patch (which is already out). If you want our thoughts on that however, you'll just have to… Wait for it.Spoiler Levels: Creamy Alpaca Pasta! These rustic handmade noodles are boiled until tender, then tossed in a pan with grilled alpaca fillet and broccoli florets in a cream sauce. This hearty dish is the perfect compliment to both speeding up your spells' cast times, but also for really digging into the spoilers that we chat about in the later portions of the episode.OSMnotesYou know it, you love it, you may even use it!

From 1988 to 1989, the anime studio Gainax gave us a six episode OAV(OVA?) series known as Gunbuster. It had it all: Giant robots, space aliens, ladies from an all-girls school training in giant robots to fight the space aliens, the whole nine yards! Then in 2023, Discotek Media gave an outstanding Blu-ray release of that show complete with a brand new English dub handled by Sound Cadence Studios. And then in 2024, the OSMcast! gave the world a podcast about Discotek Media's Blu-ray release of the anime Gunbuster by Gainax. But also joining us to talk about Gunbuster is Melissa Sternenberg, the voice of Kazumi Amano from the Sound Cadence Studios English dub production for the Discotek Media Blu-ray release of the anime Gunbuster by Gainax. We also talk about Glass Mask way more than expected, but not unappreciated.OSMnotesGunbuster! You should go watch it. There's a really good Blu-ray you can buy!

John is back with another interview, and this time it's with the one and only Rebecca Forstadt. Her voice has been in tons of anime, like for example: Nunnally Lamperouge in Code Geass, Rika Furude in When They Cry, as well as Tima from Metropolis. Or perhaps you may better know her as Reba West, when she was the voice of Lynn Minmei in Robotech. It's a great conversation that covers her career, her blogging, and all sorts of things.OSMnotesWe want to thank Rebecca once again for taking the time to chat with us!

Hello Adventurers! OK, we are actually finally here! It's Dawntrail time! Now that said, it's been a month and change since release. But this episode is a amalgamation of multiple sound bites that we all recorded when the expansion was just launched into early access. It covers the first, oh we dunno, two-thirds of the game? Right up into Zone 5. All those early moments, storytelling beats, the various dungeons and trails? Hanging out with Wut Lamat and scopin' out Tural? As we experienced them, we set voice to microphone and recorded them for you. Enjoy.Spoiler Levels: Tender Shortcake! Layered with whipped cream and sliced nopalitender tunas, this light and fruity desert is the perfect summertime treat. Just like this episode! (Okay look. We already explained the actual spoiler levels in the paragraph above.

Hello Adventurers! Well, we are finally here! Kinda. Not quite. We are now just days, days before the latest Final Fantasy XIV expansion: Dawntrail! The servers are down, the patch is up for download, and Square Enix is already asking folks to not spoil stuff. So we're not gonna! Because this is all pre-Dawntrail stuff. The latest Letter from the Producer LIVE, our muses, our crackpot theories, all you need to keep that Dawntrail hype alive for a couple more days! And then we're in it! So go forth, listen, and enjoy.Spoiler Levels: Baked Eggplant! Now, you would think that Baked Eggplant wouldn't be all that spicy. You'd think. But this is a potent DPS-rich meal! So perhaps this isn't an episode spoiler filled per se, but we would recommend that you listen to this episode after you are current playing right before Dawntrail. And then listen right before you start Dawntrail!OSMnotesSo after you have listened to this episode, some other things to help while away the time!Husky by the Geek's Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker Medley with 300 Musicians: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjoFug9U5y4Sharlayan Dropouts‘ Dawntrail Predictions Episode: https://open.spotify.com/episode/3McYv7GfvmyUdnw2dO28OJ?si=8a91a0921ff24cadRong Rong's When the final boss is a gen Z: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6D8EUUV448But until then, how about some Time Cues:00:00:00 – We Start the Carbuncle Chronicling and Letter from the Producer LIVE Part LXXXII (82) Thoughts00:50:17 – Our Last Minute Predictions, Wants, and Thoughts for DawntrailMusic used in this episode: “The Carbuncle Chronicle Theme” composed DJ Inubito and arranged by Anna, “Miracle Works” from the Sanctuary's Heart Chill Arrangement Album, “Unwound (Qitana Ravel)[Chiptune Remix]” by EzeDuzzIt https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRBYECQ4tFI,”Equilibrium” from Pulse: FINAL FANTASY XIV Remix Album, “On Blade's Edge” from EndwalkerWe also have YouTube Channels now!

Hello Adventurers! While last year was the 10 Year Anniversary of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, this year is our 10 Year Anniversary of playing Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn! So, we thought it would be nice to look back at those halcyon days of times long ago. Specifically, ten years ago. And to join us down this trip on memory lane, we are joined by the fellows Chille and Paul of Moogle Go Round Radio! MGR is a FFXIV podcast and stream where they, if you can believe it, talk about Final Fantasy XIV. They also just recently celebrated their own 8th Anniversary of existence! You can trust us when we say they were the perfect pair to chat with us about how TP used to be real and could hurt you.Spoiler Levels: La Noscean Toast! This is not an especially spoiler-filled episode, unless you have never played Final Fantasy XIV at all ever. In which case, have you heard about the free trial? And then come back to us after you finish up with ARR. Otherwise: Enjoy this delicious episode that has been soaked mixture of buffalo milk and eggs, and then fried in creamy butter. A specialty at the Drowning Wench in Limsa Lominsa!OSMnotesOnce again big thanks to Paul and Chille for chatting with us! And as you may have noticed, this is a Part 1! Because we had planned to talk about the expansions leading up to Dawntrail, but we only got as far as A Realm Reborn. Guess we'll have to schedule a Part 2 at some point!

We just got back from MTAC Dueling Dragons in Nashville, Tennessee and there we decided to try something different while we were there: A live panel! Look, all of the other podcasts are doing it, so we decided to jump off a bridge too. But don't worry, we jumped onto some dragons. Some, theoretically, anime dragons. One could even say we drafted these dragons. Into a dragon draft. Look, it's all right there in the episode title, really.Protip: This episode was recorded live from the panel at the con. The audio is decently listenable though! Kinda.OSMnotesDid you like the episode? If you did and were there, or liked the audio version… Let MTAC know! Here is a link to their survey for this year: https://forms.gle/47TwTCkCNZGJPyU86Also, it probably would be a good idea to post some images of the various dragons from the panel! Also… One Piece?

Hello Gentlepeople! We here at The Manderville Minute have been covering the amazing work of Manderville Family in all facets of Ul'dah life, and this time we have decided to tackle the most gentlemanly of gentlemen: Hildibrand Helidor Maximillian Manderville. He is a Manderville Man that can only do what a Manderville can, as he travels the realm as a self-titled “agent of enquiry, inspector extraordinaire” alongside his assistant, Nashu Mhakaracca. Now wait just a gosh darn moment… No, what do you mean this about an MMORPG called Final Fantasy XIV? No, this is an audio recording all about one of our great Thanalan heroes! Perish the thought that this could be about some mere game.Spoiler Levels: Truffles à la Manderville! This is a sweet and fluffy episode. We do talk about all sorts of the events that you can find in the various Hildibrand Adventures in Final Fantasy XIV, up to and including the events and trial in Patch 6.55. While we don't get into too much MSQ talk… If you want to go into Hildibrand completely unsullied, this is your warning.Manderville NotesHope you all enjoyed the episode!

Hello Adventurers! Now that we are solidly in the true “Wait Till Dawntrail” part of our Final Fantasy XIV life cycle, we thought it was best to look back to what we just got to play through. And that is Final Fantasy XIV Patch 6.55: Growing Light – Part 2! Not only did we get our true onramp storyline-wise leading into the upcoming expansion, but we also got a bunch of capstones to a lot of side content. From Hildebrand blasting off again, to seeing how our allied tribe quests sorted out, we are talking about it all. Yes, even the part about the cheese. Spoiler Levels: Very Hot, like Spicy Stellar Soup hot! This is a very hot and savory episode. We namedrop Endwalker Extremes from the get-go, we talk about stuff that happened in Stormblood, and how everything is leading into Dawntrail.

Hello Adventurers! Welcome to the Year of Our Yoshi-p Twenty Twenty Four. It's going to be an exciting year, this 2024! Not only it's the Lunar Year of the Dragon, it's ALSO the year of the next Final Fantasy XIV expansion: Dawntrail! And earlier in January we got a whole bunch of announcements made at the 2024 Final Fantasy XIV Fan Festival in Tokyo, Japan. From the final CG teaser trailer, to Pictomancer, to hrothgals lion ladies, and even [REDACATED], if it was in the keynote, we are here to talk into microphones about them.Spoiler Levels: Hot! We may say it's medium to hot in the episode, but let's be honest. If you don't care all that much about spoilers, they are medium. If you do care, they are hot. Maybe not Blazin' Knock Your Butt Off... But you'll probably will want to wrap up the latest stuff in Endwalker before you hit play.OSMnotesThanks to Tobias for continuing to pitch hit edit the podcast for Anna, it has been a life saver. Since we almost just go in order of the keynote, we don't really have Time Cues this time. Just kick back, put the podcast on, and go grind some tomes. Tobis did do, however, is that he gave use what music is used in the episode. Which are The Carbuncle Chronicle Theme by Anna and DJ Inubito, "Battle on the Big Bridge" by The Black Mages, "Return to Oblivion (Scions & Sinners) by The Primals, "And Love You Shall Find" FFXIV Shadowbringers, and "Heartless (Chiptune)" by TESTS04.We also have YouTube Channels now!

When knowing is half the battle, your battle half for this podcast is that it's a big ol' humdinger. John got the chance to talk to one of the greats: Neil Ross. It's hard to be more prolific than Neil. He was the voice of Shipwreck in the original GI Joe cartoons. The voice of Kieth in the original Voltron from 1984s. He was the voice of the Biff Tannen Museum Narrator in Back to the Future Part II. He was the voice the Green Goblin in the 1994 Spider-Man: The Animated Series. He was the voice of Mayor Domino in Final Fantasy VII Remake. He was the voice of, okay we could just keep going but then we'd never get to the interview. He has been in a lot. He also happens to now be the author of Vocal Recall A Life in Radio and Voiceovers, a book you should absolutely read.OSMnotesWe want to thank Neil once again for taking the time to chat with us!

It's a brand-new year, and we're kicking of 2024 with a look back on 2023. In video games. If you want other media mediums, sorry but you'll have to settle this time. Because aside from a tabletop game in Dylan's list, that's all we got this time. I'm sure anime and other things will be talked about in future episodes. Just not this one. But this one? This one's for the Gamers™.Protip: Also, this episode is barely edited. And I do mean barely!OSMnotesHope you enjoyed this episode! If you were expecting Time Cues, sorry! Like mentioned previously, this episode was only barely edited so we could get it out in a remotely timely manner. Huh, what's that? Something about how we are supposed to have an Anime Secret Santa episode or two out before Christmas? So why are we worried about being timely? Weird. Must be hearing things.

Hello Adventurers! As the year of our Yoshi-p 2023 comes to an end, we thought it would be good idea to talk about the patch that we've all been playing as the year closes out: 6.5 Growing Light - Part 1. And to join us in these talks, we had the excellent fortune to bring on Mippa to help us break it all down. (And if you need yet more Mippa, and you assuredly do, we actually had an interview with her not too long ago.) From the latest storyline reveals, to the shores of Aloalo Island, the depths of the Lunar Subterrane, and the hidden mysteries of Thalia, we leave no stone unturned as we dig into all the good stuff Final Fantasy XIV has to offer us right now.Spoiler Levels: Extremely High! It's the latest patch! All of it that's fit to print! We're talking about it! And then some! You are warned.OSMnotesThanks to Mippa for joining us on the podcast! It was a super fun conversation, and we can't wait to have her on again. And if you want to follow more of Mippa's adventures in Eorzea and beyond, don't forget to check out her Twitter and Tumblr! (Or... You know, Bluesky if it ever comes to that.)Also, Tobias did Time Cues:00:00:00 - We Start the Carbuncle Chronicling00:18:23 - New Main Scenario Quests!00:37:45 - The Lunar Subterrane01:04:37 - Thaleia01:14:52 - Aloalo Island01:29:11 - The Singularity Reactor (Unreal)01:36:00 - Splendorous Tools and Custom Deliveries01:38:03 - Fall Guys Collaboration and Island Sanctuary Update01:51:52 - Closing CeremoniesHe even went ahead and listed the music used in the episode.

Finally, John got me. Me as in Basil (the one that writes all of these). He has finally made another true OSMcast? by returning to the Ken Akamatsu well. If you recall, we have actually done an OSMcast? on Itsudatte My Santa! before. And while I refuse to double check anything that reminds of having to watch it ever again, I do remember this: That when I said I had only watched episode one John said that was fine, episode two was worse and that we only were covering the first episode anyway. And thus, he played his trap card. Three years later, he has sprung it upon on us all. So here, have that podcast. OSMnotesSo yeah, once again, that was sure an episode!

Just time for the holidays, we here at the OSMcast have a couple of presents for you! First up, a brand new OSMinterview! This time, John chats it up with Kira Vincent-Davis. She has done a bunch of roles over the years, like Lucy/Nyu in Elfen Lied, or Ayumu Kasuga in Azumanga Daioh, or hey maybe Najica Hiiragi in Najica Blitz Tactics. But real OSMcast listeners should remember her best as the Queen of karuta, Shinobu Wakamiya in Chihayafuru.OSMnotesBig thanks to Kira once again for taking the time to chat with us!We also have YouTube Channels now!

Hello Adventurers! The next Final Fantasy XIV expansion, Dawntrail, is arriving next year but this past October during the 2023 London FanFest we got yet more details about it. And perhaps the biggest news (that's not the new Viper job) was the announcement of the next alliance raid series being in collaboration with Final Fantasy XI. You know, the other Final Fantasy MMO! We need a FFXI expert. Someone who has been in the trenches, really seen some stuff. So, to talk about this we recruited a longtime friend of both The Carbuncle Chronicle and the OSMcast!, Cevian, who was more than up to the task to tell us all about it.OSMnotesOnce again, we want to thank Tobias for stepping up and editing the episode. And did you know that his other FFXIV x One Piece podcast released an episode this week as well. Well, you do now! It's actually much heavier on the One Piece this time, so one might think of our episode doing it's due diligence to make sure the FFXIV side is properly represented. And thanks once again to Cevian for making sure that the FFXI side was also properly represented! In fact while we were talking, Cevian kept throw us some FFXI pictures to give us some visual references. And now, you can have them too:Also, Tobias did Time Cues:00:00:00: The Basil Addendum00:01:55: Introductions and What's Been Going On Lately00:14:19: 2023 London FanFest Keynote Discussion01:03:59: Echoes of Vana'diel Discussion with Cevian01:24:18: Final Keynote ThoughtsHe even went ahead and listed the music used in the episode.

Hello Adventures! With the advent of Dawntrail (the new expansion) on the horizon, and the current post patch cycle winding down, we thought it would be a nice time to talk about one of the new things Endwalker (the current expansion) introduced into Final Fantasy XIV: The Variant and the Criterion Dungeons. These are brand new types of battle-style content that kind does their own thing, and they're pretty dang fun! And you can get cool stuff for doing them! But since they are optional things, maybe you haven't done them yet? If not, let us take this chance to talk to you about why we think you should. And if you have already tried them out uh, well… listen to us anyway! You're already here, why stop now. Spoiler Levels: Pretty Low! Ignoring that you kinda have to have cleared the main chunk of Endwalker just to get to the post-patches where these dungeons show up, we don't really delve too deep into any spoilers talking about them.OSMnotesHave you tried the new Variant dungeons? Did you dip a toe into Criterion to see if it's as hard (or as easy!?) as you thought it'd be? Were we the ones that finally convinced you to take the plunge, or were you already on board with the idea? Let us know in the Discord! Also:Tobias' other FFXIV podcast, the one that's also a One Piece podcast? A Grand Line Reborn? Yeah that one! Check it out here: https://thirdimpactanime.com/a-grand-line-reborn-a-one-piece-x-final-fantasy-xiv-podcast/Also, Tobias and his nakama comrades over at Third Impact Anime have panels at AWA pretty soon, if you are gonna be there check them out: https://mastodon.social/@ThirdImpactAnime/111246015821654437Also, we are all on Blue Sky!

So sometimes things are an OSMcast!, and sometimes they are an OSMcast? Where one is unqualified awesome, and everyone should watch it. The other, maybe not so much but we wanted to talk about it anyway. And sometimes, we'll start thinking it was an OSMcast? and it turns that no… This is an OSMcast! only it just has a lot of super mega dope ass violence. And that's Genocyber, a 1994 anime OAV series by Artmic & Artland adapting the manga series by Tony Takezaki. OSMnotesMan, as the guy (this is Basil by the way, the guy that writes all of these posts that no one reads) that normally has to cat heard episodes? I really appreciate John taking the time to put these episodes together. Even if after he records an episode thinking it should get a question mark, I instead decide that it gets the exclamation point as benefits the subject matter. Also, a hearty welcome to Abby for getting roped into this whole podcast shindig. You're doing great.

Why hello there! You may be wondering, “Are they ever going to release a normal standard plain good ol' fashioned OSMcast! episode?” Well today is your day!! That's right, we are here to talk about anime, tv shows, games maybe? But mostly about the first season of Satelight's Symphogear! It's a cool anime for cool people about punching weird alien blobs real hard, but also with the power of song. You know, normal standard plain good ol' fashioned anime stuff for a normal standard plain good ol' fashioned OSMcast! episode. As you do. It's also kinda a lot. Don't worry we'll talk about it. OSMnotesNow, was this our Anime Secret Santa pick from 2022? Yes. Did we also say that this episode should have be out around MTAC… Which was during Easter weekend? Also yes. Should anyone worry about that? Nah no way don't worry about it, it's all good. Just uh… go watch some Symphogear.

So previously we Aimed for the Top with interviewing the voice of Noriko, but this time we are interviewing the voice of Kazumi Amano in Gunbuster: Melissa Sternenberg! Where she outs herself as a huge nerd. Which is good, because this is kind of the podcast for that sort of thing. We chat about LARPing, Freakazoid, Animaniacs, 90s anime, all sorts of things. Like, what makes a great dub? Also, a great dub: Gunbuster. And as one would expect, the critically acclaimed MMPRPG Final Fantasy XIV.OSMnotesWe want to thank Melissa once again for taking the time to chat with us!

Hello Adventurers! So in our previous episode we talked about the big announcement from the 2023 NA FFXIV FanFest in Las Vegas: The latest FFXIV expansion, Dawntrail. But this episode is about everything else that happened at FanFest! The highs, the lows, the events, the lines. All the fun parts, and some of the not so fun parts. The terrible, terrible heat. Speaking of things that are hot off the presses, we also talk about The Rising and the latest Moogle Tomestone events. It's a grand ole time!Spoiler Levels: Pretty Low! Since we already talked about Dawntrail, we kept the spoiler talk to as low as we could. This is about the event of FanFest itself. I guess if you don't want spoilers as to what might happen at the EU & JP FanFest? But honestly, they are gonna be pretty different anyway.OSMnotesSome things!Those new Carbuncle Chronicle T-shirts!

Hello Adventurers! Everyone it's been 10 long years, but we have finally done it. We're going to The New World, Tural! And while a few of us did just get back from the 2023 NA FanFest in Las Vegas a couple of weeks back, even now only the thoughts of new level caps, two dyes, and taco cats arw what keep us going. And, or some of us, the thoughts of wearing glasses and a summoner's horn at the same time. All of that is to say, we are very excited about the new Final Fanatsy XIV 7.0 Expansion: Dawntrail!

Hello Adventurers! Saddle up your chocobos folks, because we are heading to Las Vegas! Some of us figuratively, some of us literally. This upcoming weekend (July 28 & 29th, 2023) is the first of the set of the Final Fantasy XIV Fan Festivals. Which means fun is to be had, Keynotes and Live Letters to watch, and a new expansion to be announced! So, Basil, Anna, and special guest Tobias from Third Impact Anime and A Grand Line Reborn got together to talk about what one can expect to do at FanFest, what to see, and then get into all the ideas we have they could announce for 7.0. Spoiler Levels: Highish! Look, you are best served by playing through 6.45 since we are talking about everything that could possibly happen after that. You'll want those context clues intact. We are somewhat vague on details about what's been happening, but I wouldn't trust us either. Don't worry, this episode will still be here when you're done.OSMnotesIf you can't make to FanFest in person (we really, really lucked out in being able to go), worry not!

There are times when getting these interviews from John can be kinda wild. For example, just the other day he messages me, and the message went something like this:“Hey, I just interviewed the voice of Minnie Mouse.”Which is not something one normally hears! But today you get to listen to that interview. Which is with the wonderful Kaitlyn Robrock. Who is the current voice of Minnie Mouse from well… Disney. But that's not all! She's also the voice of Retsuko's mother in the English dub of Netflix anime series Aggretsuko, Felicia Sundew in Amphibia, and also the voice of Chloé in both Fire Emblem Engage as well as Fire Emblem Heroes.

I dunno if you have heard, but there is a brand-new Blu-ray release of Gunbuster from Discotek. It's out there! It's great! And one of the great things about it, is that it features an excellent all new English dub. And the lead Noriko was portrayed as Kiane Chula King. Who, coincidentally, is also the subject of this OSMinterview! While Noriko may be one of her first big roles, it was really nice to dig in a little to find out more about her. And while I am not John, I also want a whole new interview with her all about her experiences in tabletop roleplaying. That would be, as they say, awesome.

So this is something new! Your friend and mine, John Robbins normally does a lot of our OSMinterviews. But this time, he got to instead moderate a Question-and-Answer panel for Amanda Miller at this year's MTAC Blackjack. This is the audio from that panel. And chances are, you have heard the voice of Amanda Miller before! Some of her most well-known roles include Sailor Jupiter, in the Viz Media re-dub of the classic Sailor Moon series and the new Sailor Moon Crystal series, Junko Enoshima and Toko Fukawa in the Danganronpa video game series, Sully and Cherche in Fire Emblem Awakening, Takeru Aizawa in Squid Girl, and Boruto Uzumaki in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations.

The real Easter Miracle that was performed at MTAC this year was that we were able to land a last-minute chance to chat with Marin M. Miller! We've had them on the show a few times, but it's always good to catch up. They have only grown yet even more prestigious since those bygone days, for example now being the voice of Nimbus in Destiny 2: Lightfall! That said, this interview is more than about that.

So, like all good weebs, we spent this past Easter celebrating by going to an anime con. MTAC Blackjack, specifically. And while we were there, we got the chance to chat with some cool voice over artists! This episode is a chat we got to have with one Kyle McCarley. He's probably best known for his roles like being Mob in Mob Psycho 100, 9S in Nier: Automata, Alm in Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, Gatekeeper in Fire Emblem: Three Houses, amongst many others. He's also the host of The Board & Barrel, which is a really fun weekly live board gaming show on Twitch.

Oh hello there! Our boy John is back with yet another OSMinterview, this time with the excellent Mark Hildreth. Mark has been acting, both voice acting as well as theatre and forms of live action acting, since the age of 10!

As a voice actor, Marrisa Lenti has portrayed such roles as Libra in Fairy Tale, Moze in Borderlands 3, Sister Jill in both Cutie Honey Universe and Re: Cutie Honey, among others.

Hello Adventurers! As the new year rolls on, so too does the critically acclaimed Final Fantasy XIV Online patch cycle. In fact, we are in the midst of Patch 6.3 hyjinks right now! And not only did we get a new 24-person raid, a new dungeon with MSQ alongside, but we also got a bevy of great Quality-of-Life improvements as well. To help us walk through all this 6.3 Patch stuff is our special guest for this Issue: Alex Fraioli! When he's not dispensing sage life advice as the proprietor of the Critical * Hit bar used game store in Nagoya, Japan, you can also find him on Twitch or on the No More Whoppers podcast. But from Umbrellas to Ultimates, he's with us this episode to talk about all the things you love about the game we all play and are addicted to.Spoiler Levels:Incredibly high!... Sorta. The first hour or so is actually pretty light on them, as we cover mostly the Quality-of-Life improvements the patch brought, and gripes about the important things in Eorzean life: Dyes. But after that first hour? Buckle up cause it's spoiler city over here! (Sidenote: Ever notice that none of the mounts in FFXIV have seat belts? It's like an episode of Star Trek or something.)And if you are tuning in the week we are releasing this episode, all week-long Alex is also doing charity streams for TELL Japan! It's a great charity organization that dedicated to providing effective support and counseling services to Japan's international community and its increasing mental health needs. So if you are feeling at all generous, please head over to Alex's Twitch and donate today! (And if you are tuning in later, we wouldn't be surprised if Alex isn't planning on another charity stream in the future. Or just go to the TELL Japan site and donate anyway!)And as always, feel free to leave us a review on Apple Podcasts!

Hello Adventurers! As we leave the Year of Our Yoshi-p 2022 and enter into 2023, now is the perfect time to dig into some seasonal events! Final Fantasy XIV is packed with them throughout the year, and we are chatting about them all. Yes, even Hatching-tide! From Heavensturn to Starlight Celebration we talk about the basics, when they usually are, where the quests start, some of the backstory behind the events, and what are the NPCs you tend to interact with. We also reminisce about our times with them. Plus, the current events that are going on: like the current Starlight Celebration, the latest Moogle Tomestone Hunt, and even the very quickly upcoming Heavensturn! And just how do we feel about Pa-Paya?Spoiler Levels: Incredibly low! I mean, I guess you need to be at least level 15, and have unlocked all three initial city-states of the Eorzean Alliance. But chances are, if you are listening to this episode, you have at least gotten that far! Probably.And as always, feel free to leave us a review on Apple Podcasts!

Then we get into the meat of the Patch 6.2x series, and adjacent topics. New Hildys! Fat Cat Hoodies! Island Sanctuary! Nihilism defeating soup!? Why shirts should not have belts attached to them, and so much more. So much latest patch series chitchat, you'll just… Scream! Ahem…Spoiler Levels: EXTREMELY HIGH.

You know the saying, "Anything can happen on Halloween?" And sure, they may follow that up with things like, "Your dog can turn into a cat!" Or maybe, "There may be a toad in your bass guitar, or your sister could turn into a bat!" But have you considered the possibility of perhaps instead on Halloween... "You are the ancient strategist Kongming whom has died in the distant past, only to reborn as your younger self and dropped into modern day Shibuya?" The fact is anything can happen on Halloween. Any. Thing. So in this episode of the OSMcast, along with special guest Tobias from Third Impact Anime, we tackle this conundrum by talking about the hit anime Ya Boy Kongming! It's streaming on HIDIVE and is based on the manga written by Yuto Yotsuba and illustrated by Ryō Ogawa.OSMnotesTwo episodes in two days? What madness! And actually, it's three! For you see, along with this episode, we also have the accompanying OSMbonus episode for our 5$ and up patrons up over at our Patreon! Now if you need more of us talking and yammering it up, you got options. Some useful links! First, there is from Patrick St. Michel's Substack: Make Believe Mailer 45: Party People's Pathos, "Ya Boy Kongming!" And A Vanishing Shibuya. It covers how the anime really shows off pre-pandemic Shibuya and the club scene that show mirrors. And for Saint Seiya, George J. Horvath recently wrote a great article about possibilities on why Saint Seiya never really took off in North America like it did... in the rest of the world. That one is called: Theory Musing: Why Does Saint Seiya Consistently Fail in "North of Mexico"?And now?
