Voici un autre thème qui nous démange d'être refait depuis sa première édition : les musiques d'anime. On se réunit donc en comité extraordinaire pour causer de ce pan de la culture nipponne dont la consommation en France se place en deuxième, juste derrière le Japon. Raison, donc, d'en parler plus que jamais avec bienveillance et Amour, autour d'une table ronde de (pseudo-)connoisseurs. Bonne écoute.

Recently I've been thinking a lot about the things that divide up an anime episode, be it an OP or short intertitles - and so I decided to make a whole episode about them! In this edition of Get In The Mecha, I talk about how these dividing mechanisms make all the difference to how an episode / film feels and ask the question of what is so important about structure. This is the last episode of 2022! I want to get the podcast back on track next year so bear with me a little longer. Thanks for all your support, feedback and attention this year!

'March Comes in Like a Lion' is a masterpiece that beautifully delivers on character-driven stories via internal monologues, nuanced dialogue, and effective imagery centered around the world of shogi. Ionatan and Ravi dive deep into the series, discussing the strengths of Chica Umino's writing and Akiyuki Shinbo's adaptation, the realistic depictions of depression and bullying, and how the message of the series is ultimately optimistic in terms of personal growth and relationships.
Akiyuki Shinbo may be one of the greatest anime directors of all time - but how exactly does he direct anime? In this week's episode of Get In The Mecha, I do a brief study of Shinbo's OVAs to get to the bottom of what his style really looks like and what we can learn from his approach to anime.

Sonny Boy has blown me away countless times and the eighth episode of the anime storyboarded by Keiichirō Saitō honestly took it to another level. In this week's episode I want to break down my thoughts on the way this episode was directed and get to the bottom of why it's so effective at making the viewer uncomfortable.

It has been a long journey... but we finally made it to the final arc of Bakemonogatari, The Tsubasa Cat Arc! In this episode, let's talk about the final 'act' of this fifteen episode drama. From the mental health aspects of the show becoming more prominent, to the cinematic aspect ratio used throughout the arc, what makes this arc such a special one and why exactly is this one of my favourite stretches of episodes in TV anime?

Ahora sí nos ponemos densas, al hablar del animé Puella Magi Madoka Magica, dirigido por Yukihiro Miyamoto y Akiyuki Shinbo, y escrito por Gen Urobuchi. Hablamos de los densos temas que esta serie retrata en tan solo 12 episodios, sobre los milagros y tener mucho cuidado con las cosas que deseamos.

Episode 120 of One Week Only! Our key film this week is "Under The Tree," a hilariously twisted dark comedy about Icelandic neighbors feuding over a tree casting too much shade. Directed by Hafsteinn Gunnar Sigurdsson, it's a fiendishly funny tale of small problems that spiral disastrously out of control. (19:50) We also review the hilarious satire "Sorry To Bother You" directed by Boots Riley (4:15), and the beautiful anime fantasy "Fireworks" directed by Akiyuki Shinbo & Nobuyuki Takeuchi (12:55). Hosted by Carlos Aguilar & Conor Holt. Music by Kevin MacLeod at www.incompetech.com

Today on PodTaku, the group get's into a discussion about the works of director Akiyuki Shinbo, while Jeanne professes her love for the Garden of Words.
Guest VinceA comes around this time to talk about the Madoka movies.
What? Huh? What’s a podcast? I’m not even sure anymore. But luckily David Estrella is here to help re-discover the true meaning of podcasting in the latest episode of the Ani-Gamers Podcast. Unfortunately, he doesn’t help me remember to introduce myself. Whoops! In this episode, we talk about crying anime girls, genre deconstructions, and spurious voice acting performances as we tackle the hugely popular magical girl anime Puella Magi Madoka Magica. Don’t worry if you haven’t seen the show — we’ve separated our spoiler talk into a separate section of the podcast after the outro song. Everything in the main section is free of Madoka spoilers (though we might slip in some spoilers for older series on occasion). DIRECT DOWNLOAD – RSS Feed – iTunes – Send us Feedback! – More episodes (Runtime: 1 hour, 36 minutes) [0:00:00] Intro: “Kill Me” by Lame Drivers [0:00:17] Podcast-related news and introductions! (Host Evan Minto forgot to introduce himself, like an idiot.) We also talk about iDOLM@STER for a bit since David reviewed it on the site. [0:05:14] Madoka review starts. We decide on not spoiling the series until the end of the show (separated into a post-outro section). [0:09:58] The fan culture around Madoka is incredibly important to an understanding of the show, so we take a good look at the zeitgeist. [0:19:52] There’s a lot of suffering and sadness in Madoka. Which parts worked, and which ones didn’t? [0:23:53] The English dub has some spectacular hits and embarrassing misses. We also describe the fictional life story of Christina Vee. [0:32:35] Madoka is undoubtedly a deconstruction of the magical girl genre, but what does that mean? Does it help or hurt the show? Evan says the word “deconstruction” over and over without really explaining what he’s talking about, so, uh… sorry about that. In this case he’s basically talking about examining and taking apart a genre by looking at the consequences of the fantasies inherent therein. [0:43:04] Shaft and Akiyuki Shinbo are known for their quirky art style. Is it appropriate for Madoka’s ambitious narrative? [1:02:44] We lay down some final thoughts on Puella Magi Madoka Magica. [1:05:35] Leave us a comment! Review us on iTunes! Follow us on Twitter (@AniGamers, @VamptVo, @QX_20XX)! [1:09:38] Outro: “Kill Me” by Lame Drivers [1:09:59] David and Evan spoil the heck out of Madoka Magica as they continue their discussion of the series. Don’t listen past the end of the outro song unless you’ve already seen Madoka or are OK with having major plot twists spoiled. Also, uh, we kinda spoil some stuff from Gurren Lagann and Serial Experiments Lain. Sorry!
