Podcasts about Aquarion

Yes, it's a wrestling reference given that the only two on here for this show have names that start with A. And yes, this show is late, once again due to a more-than-hectic week. Apologies for the not-great scheduling, but we're working in the background to get things more stable. Also, there's a thing happening on November 5, so maybe do it either on that date or before - you all know what the thing is, it doesn't need to be said. Anyway, we've got an abbreviated recap of the summer season, thoughts on Look Back and MHA: You're Next, a major shift for GKIDS, and the biggest change to the One Piece anime yet - that's all in the first hour, and there's plenty from NYCC to dive into, both good and not-as-good. Convention season is wrapping up and we've got some bangs to go out on, for sure. We'll be back with the fall dub cast rundown next time, after... you know, the thing happens. Please make sure the good thing happens, folks. intro - schedule's still screwy 10:13 - best and worst of summer (from AniChart) 27:55 - main stories 1:17:06 - New York Comic-Con 2:15:18 - and the rest 2:26:08 - home video releases 27:55 - Look Back is incredible (and on Prime Video on November 7) 34:42 - MHA: You're Next is more of the same 39:01 - TOHO International acquires full equity stake in GKIDS 48:48 - My Hero Academia's “final season” slated for 2025 51:24 - the One Piece anime is changing in a big way 57:27 - The Colors Within film coming to theaters in January 59:23 - Hideaki Anno and Khara making a Space Battleship Yamato film project 1:01:10 - Viz announces several big book pickups (Steel Ball Run) 1:17:06 - Lazarus previewed at NYCC 1:20:10 - Toonami has things in November (Invincible Fight Girl, Mashle, Blue Exorcist) 1:29:02 - new Kodansha book pickups 1:41:35 - new Square Enix book pickups 1:47:40 - new Yen Press book pickups 2:01:50 - The Beginning After the End anime announced 2:03:23 - Viz has the YAIBA anime and some more book pickups 2:06:04 - GO FOR IT, NAKAMURA! anime announced, all is good 2:08:48 - other Crunchyroll announcements 2:11:29 - what's up with the new Zenshu PV? 2:15:18 - Yen Press simul-publishing the new Haruhi Suzumiya light novel digitally 2:15:58 - Glitter Force and Voltron LD leaving Netflix? 2:17:48 - SK8 the OVA finally coming in the winter 2:19:17 - HiDive locks in Otaku NEET Kunoichi 2:19:51 - the next Gintama spinoff is coming next October 2:20:49 - a pair of Doga Kobo BL anime are coming 2:22:58 - the new Aquarion anime starts in January 2:23:44 - AnimEigo gets a niche film license 2:26:08 - Naruto full series Blu-ray box coming in January 2:26:55 - Aniplex December releases (Rascal, Blue Exorcist) 2:28:10 - Crunchyroll January releases (a lot of isekai, Horimiya, Apothecary Diaries) Apple Podcasts – https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/podcastona/id1348141210?mt=2 Spotify – https://open.spotify.com/show/2JZLO3LfoeHepomejTw4TP iHeartRadio – https://www.iheart.com/podcast/256-podcastona-43099114/ TuneIn – https://tunein.com/podcasts/Podcasts/PodcastONA-p1249922/ Where to find us: Alex – @Xander_Thoughts Andrew – @MangaMan9000, youtube.com/DubTalk As always, check out surrealresolution.com for more content, and follow @SurrealReso for more updates on the show, our continued news posts, reviews, and our fellow podcasts.

Connecticut releases guidelines on cell phone use in schools. New York health officials will look into cancer rates in communities surrounding the Long Island plume. Aquarion asks some customers to limit their water use after Sunday's flooding. And a long-awaited renovation of an East Hampton theater is finally complete.

New York Republicans urge the state to cooperate with ICE. Governor Lamont wants an additional $43 million to fund early childhood education. Eversource says it plans to sell Aquarion water company. Tom Suozzi wins NY-3's congressional seat. And love is in the air at the New England Aquarium!

Ever seen a family drama as intense as 'Game of Thrones'? Well, Hager und Elsässer (H+E) has had its share of suitors and heartbreaks, and it's about to get more dramatic.

Connecticut employers added 3,200 jobs in September and unemployment dropped to 3.5%. Aquarion and Connecticut Water are being sued over PFAS contamination. Governor Kathy Hochul vetoes offshore wind cables in Long Beach. And the USS George Washington is back after a series of crewmember suicides.

Well, it took a month, but all of us are back in the swing of things, and not a moment too soon either - Sakura-Con, Anime Boston, AND AnimeJapan 2023 all happened and they brought their own slew of announcements to the table for us to sift through and discuss. And to go along with that, we have another dabble in the wild world of lost media, our brief thoughts on the now-over winter season, plenty of non-AnimeJapan project announcements that run the gamut of quality, and Sentai coming out with a double-shot of dub goodness... at the cost of one title not getting a dub, sadly. Next time, Suzume and episode 150 - what a wild ride it's been, and we're not stopping any time soon. intro - to the “Max” 7:15 - what did we think of the winter season? 30:00 - main stories 55:02 - announcements and updates 1:26:22 - AnimeJapan 2023 2:09:22 - Sakura-Con and Anime Boston panels 2:24:20 - home video slates 30:00 - a new Kinnikuman anime is happening 32:11 - Kodansha launching their own digital manga platform in May 35:32 - “but why tho” (and it involves Stu Levy) 38:30 - ANOTHER lost Saban animated pilot has been found 42:20 - Adult Swim gets another hour, Toonami gets… things? 47:26 - Scott Pilgrim, the anime, gets the movie cast 52:45 - Birdie Wing, the anime, gets a Switch game 55:02 - +Ultra is sticking with Crunchyroll 1:03:54 - My Happy Marriage set for Netflix 1:04:44 - Shaman King Flowers coming in January 1:06:43 - Solo Leveling set for winter 2024 1:09:17 - Ishura anime set for Disney+ (and Hulu) 1:11:04 - “somehow, GoHands has returned…” 1:14:58 - Given movie announced, coming soon 1:16:32 - The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You anime announced 1:19:23 - a fourth Aquarion series announced 1:20:00 - To Your Eternity S3 announced 1:21:01 - Wind Breaker anime announced 1:22:10 - Tonikawa S2 dub details 1:26:22 - AnimeJapan's annual “make this show already” poll results 1:30:03 - the AnimeJapan 2023 RUNDOWN OF DOOM 2:09:22 - Yen Press Sakura-Con panel (Bocchi the Rock manga licensed) 2:19:58 - HIDive Anime Boston panel (Re:cycle of the Penguindrum) 2:23:01 - Crunchyroll AB/SC announcements (summer/fall acquisitions) 2:24:01 - Anime Limited May releases (Free finale film, Looking For Magical Doremi) 2:26:07 - Crunchyroll June releases (SPY x FAMILY) 2:33:02 - Media Blasters' latest thing and more Boruto 2:34:33 - Discotek June 27th releases (Medarot, more Lupin) 2:35:28 - Sentai July releases (Tokyo Mew MEw New, Re:cycle of the Penguindrum, Eizouken) additional audio from: The Simpsons The X-Files Excel Saga Apple Podcasts – https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/podcastona/id1348141210?mt=2 Google Play – https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cDovL3d3dy5wb2RjYXN0b25hLnN1cnJlYWxyZXNvbHV0aW9uLmNvbS9mZWVkL3BvZGNhc3Q Spotify – https://open.spotify.com/show/2JZLO3LfoeHepomejTw4TP iHeartRadio – https://www.iheart.com/podcast/256-podcastona-43099114/ TuneIn – https://tunein.com/podcasts/Podcasts/PodcastONA-p1249922/ Stitcher – https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/podcastona/ Where to find us: Alex – @AuraOfAzure Andrew – @MangaMan9000, youtube.com/DubTalk Jet – @Divinenega, youtube.com/DubTalk Duelist – @HeartofSword75, youtube.com/DuelistG As always, check out surrealresolution.com for more content, and follow @SurrealReso for more updates on the show, our continued news posts, reviews, and our fellow podcasts.

Meet the new CEO of LifeBridge Community Services, a Bridgeport agency partnering with individuals, youth, and families to improve well-being, strengthen resilience, and create a brighter future. They've got an exciting event coming up called 'Creating from the HeART' - so we'll invite you to that while learning about the agency's recent designation as an Urban Trauma Center. Then, we'll welcome a panel of individuals putting the power of two wheels behind a drive to create legislation that will help greatly improve the lives, health and mobility of the thousands of folks across Connecticut who either temporarily or permanently utilize wheelchairs to get around. Finally, you've heard about the increasing levels of PFAS and forever chemicals in our environment and especially in our water supplies, so we're turning to an expert from  Aquarion Water Company to learn what that public utility is doing to better identify and filter these potentially harmful chemicals from their numerous state water systems.

This hour, George Logan joins us to discuss his campaign against incumbent Democratic Congresswoman Jahana Hayes. The 5th District face-off has attracted national attention. With three weeks to go until Election Day, we sit down with the Aquarion executive and former state senator, to hear more about his stance on issues like education, inflation and what he has referred to as "the energy crisis," and even his take on 2020 election denial.

This is a text review of the second disc of the Aquarion Boxed Set 1 comprising Episodes 6-9 from Funimation. Click on the following link to hear podcast review # 104 of  Episodes 1-5: http://sesho.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=356987 The Elements of Aquarion have become stronger and are functioning better as a team, but the pilots still have a lot to learn. First up, Gen Fudo, the strange Merlin-like commander of the Elements sets up a Thought Projection Exercise. Partners will stand a kilometer away from each other, with one facing away. The goal is to make your partner turn around with the force of your thoughts. You just know everyone is gonna be paired up with their least favorite person. Sirius and Reika are getting kinda cozy and it's starting to drive Silvia crazy. You see, she has a bit of a "brother complex". She wants so bad for him to be the Solar Wing, her reincarnated lover....uh, but if he is, that brings up some pretty weird issues. I think at this point everyone has decided that Apollo is the real deal. Everyone EXCEPT Sirius and Silvia, and that's probably due to their hypocrisy. Surely, the Solar Wing would be reborn as a noble and not as an animalistic street kid. All these weird resentments reach a boiling point when the Shadow Angels use a device that feeds off negative emotions. Two supporting characters take center stage in Episode 8 as Tsugumi and Jun contemplate what it will be like to merge for the first time with all the attendant innuendoes and comparisons to losing their virginity. But when the time comes will they be able to step up to the plate? And then there's a Mythic Beast lurking in the dreams of the Elements that brings A Nightmare on Elm Street to mind.  I'm not really a big fan of giant robot anime but I don't dislike them either. As with any anime genre, if a show is good, it doesn't matter to me what it is about. I will tell you this. I think Evangelion was way overrated and that Rahxephon took the same path but did it even better. Aquarion falls into a cross between Rahxephon and Gravion (I mean the good parts of Gravion) and comes up with a very enjoyable anime. To start with, this show just looks good. The character designs are very beautiful and distinct. The sleek and acrobatic robot designs give a humanity to the battles. There are very few static cut scenes and the CG blends as well as it can with the traditional animation. Everything about this series screams the word EPIC with its attendant 12,000 year old battles between angels and humans and its take on Greek mythology and Christian scriptures. The music of Yoko Kanno just adds to the grandeur with her symphonic and choral score. But, like the director and writers of this show, she never forgets the more intimate characterization elements of the show, composing with simple instruments and singing and a variety of electronic instruments when the mood calls for it. A great show so far. My Grade: A You can view the first two episodes for free at the official Aquarion website: http://funimation.com/aquarion/

Anime DVD review of Episodes 1-5 of the Aquarion Complete Series Box Set Part 1. Published by Funimation. 12,000 years ago the human race was saved from defeat by the Solar Wing, a Shadow Angel who betrayed his own race for the love of a human girl. All of these thousands of years passed with no word of the Shadow Angels but they reawakened in the aftermath of the Great Catastrophe which devastated the planet 11 years ago. Now the only force that can stand against them is Aquarion, a giant mecha composed of three seperate vehicles called Vectors, that unite to battle the Angels. Only those with special psychic abilities, called Elements, can pilot the Vectors, so a world-wide search to find the best candidates has been launched. It is the hope of the searchers to find the reincarnation of the Solar Wing in the hopes that he can save mankind. You can watch the first two episodes for free at the official Aquarion website: http://funimation.com/aquarion/ My Grade: B+
