Last year we lost Akira Toriyama, creator of Dr. Slump, Dragon Ball, and the character designs for acclaimed video games like Dragon Quest and Chrono Trigger. To honor Toriyama-sensei, Evan, Inaki, and special guest Dawn from the Anime Nostalgia Podcast got together to look back at the entirety of Toriyama's most famous manga: Dragon Ball. That's right, all the way from Goku and Bulma's first meeting to the final tournament after the Buu Saga. This is Part 1, covering what's commonly known in English as “Dragon Ball.” Part 2 will cover what's known as “Dragon Ball Z.” (Confused about the naming? We cover that in the podcast too!) Topics include: getting strong by delivering milk, best girl Lunch, and the Home for Infinite Losers.

What is a “ReView” episode, you might ask? Well, it's my highly-clever (ok not really) name for episodes where I go back and revisit an older title I haven't seen in a long time, and see if what I remember (and what my opinions on it) are still the same now that some time's gone by. It's Halloween season once again, so for this month's ReView episode, let's revisit a more unconventional pick for a Halloween movie night: the 1994 anime OVA adaptation of Hideyuki Kikuchi's Darkside Blues! Will this dystopian cybergoth thriller make for some great vibes, or is it just not "all that jazz"?

This month's episode is another short ReView! What is a “ReView” episode, you might ask? Well, it's my highly-clever (ok not really) name for episodes where I go back and revisit an older title I haven't seen in a long time, and see if what I remember (and what my opinions on it) are still the same now that some time's gone by. This month, while I dream of the upcoming Dirty Pair bluray set, let's revisit some other space adventuring troublemakers from the same universe! That's right, it's 1983's Crusher Joe: The Movie! But will this movie crush it, or will it crush my heart?

This year, Go Nagai's magical super heroine turned 50 years old! So what better time to have an episode in her honor? And joining me to talk all about her is No. 1 English-speaking Cutie Honey Fan (who has worked on many official American Cutie Honey releases!), Salvatore (aka @retrosofa)! We discuss not only the history of the franchise, but how even though Honey is a pulpy, sexy, and sometimes goofy Magical Girl originally created for boys, she influenced the Magical Girl genre in all sorts of ways we're still seeing today! Also in this episode: the decades-long argument of if Honey even counts as a magical girl, the appeal of giant Go Nagai monster women, and answering all your questions in this extra-long episode!

For those that missed out on it, this is the audio from said livestream, in handy podcast form! The first part of the stream I was joined by Leiji Matsumoto translator and superfan, Zack Davisson, as we give some background on Matsumoto's live and work. After that, I reached out to the Leijiverse fandom to get audio and written submissions on not only how Matsumoto's work touched our hearts, but also significantly changed some of our lives.
