I flew back East for AnimeNEXT this year, and I figured I’d mark the occasion with a now-rare treat: an actual podcast episode. Our guests include a bunch of super-cool folks you may recognize: Ani-Gamers’ own Ink, Anime News Network writer and prolific con panelist Mike Toole, longtime translator Neil Nadelman, and returning podcast guest Patrick from The Cockpit. Topics include: cool ’80s anime Future Police Urashiman, Studio TRIGGER guests, English-speaking Japanese animator Aya Suzuki, the inherent superiority of East Coast anime con panels, and “ancient” anime conventions from before the year 2010. We tried recording this using two different portable recorders, and I think it came out pretty listenable. Show notes and links after the break.

We didn’t do any E3 coverage on the blog this year, but seeing as I’m now rooming with former Ani-Gamers Podcast co-host Mitch Dyer (a.k.a. MitchyD), I figured “why not get Mitch on to talk about E3?” Topics include Nintendo goggles, the “difficulty” of adding women to video games, space simulation games both real (No Man’s Sky) and vapor (Infinity), and Smash Bros: MUGEN Edition.

DIRECT DOWNLOAD – RSS Feed – iTunes – Send us Feedback! – More episodes  (Runtime: 52 minutes) Opening Song: “Read Or Die Theme” by Taku Iwasaki (our old opening music from back when Mitch co-hosted!) Our guest is IGN Editor and former Ani-Gamers Podcast co-host Mitch Dyer. We talk about E3 2014, the huge annual video game trade show in Los Angeles. Nintendo showed off Super Smash Bros. (new characters: Palutena, Mii Fighter, and Pac-Man), a new open-world Legend of Zelda game, Toad’s Treasure Tracker, and Splatoon. Mitch’s favorite game at the show was Rainbow Six: Siege, the demo of which sparked an outrage about female representation in games. Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed: Unity has four playable co-op characters, all of whom are dudes, prompting MORE gender representation controversy. Mitch liked Battlefield: Hardline, a.k.a. “Battlefield: Cops & Robbers.” No Man’s Sky is a cool procedurally generated space exploration game. Infinity is a still-in-development game (not shown at E3, just something Evan likes) with a similar concept, but a more realistic art style. We loop back and chat about Super Smash Bros. again. In the outro we name drop Star Wars: Battlefront and Mirror’s Edge 2, two games that EA teased but didn’t have full trailers for. Check out Mitch’s stuff at IGN (IGN Arena is his new MOBA podcast) and Rebel FM. Otaku USA Magazine: Evan and Ink wrote articles for the new issue (cover is JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure). Evan wrote about Yuyushiki and Red Data Girl (that one was supposed to be in the last issue) and Ink wrote about Problem Children Are Coming From Another World, Aren’t They? (it’s credited as “Evan Minto” but it’s really Ink) Twitter: Ani-Gamers, Evan, Mitch Email us at podcast@anigamers.com! Ending Song: “WORLD END (Instrumental)” by FLOW (our old ending music!)

Evan’s not flying back to New Jersey for AnimeNEXT, but he did attend FanimeCon 2014 in San Jose, CA. In this podcast, recorded on the fourth and final day of Fanime, Evan sits down with his Crunchyroll coworkers and arch-frenemies, Victoria Holden (a.k.a. SailorBee) and Danika Harrod (a.k.a. DarlingDaniChan) and cosplay photographer Ben Lam to talk about the con. Topics include Kill la Kill cosplay, Anime Hell, anime triathlons, and the “flipping off Evan” meme. This podcast was recorded in a hotel lobby, so the audio has a lot of background noise. Sorry! Show notes, links, and comments after the break.

The “Flipping off Evan” meme is a thing that Danika started on Twitter for no good reason. Former Ani-Gamers blogger Elliot Page started a Tumblr compiling the best shots. Evan ran/participated in four panels: Introducing Studio Trigger (slightly updated version of the “‘Trigger’ Warning” Genericon panel), The Beautiful Backgrounds of Anime, The Changing Faces of Anime, and the Crunchyroll Industry Panel. Victoria/Danika’s cosplays: Elf/Sorceress (Dragon’s Crown), Utena/Maou (Revolutionary Girl Utena/Maoyu), Griffith/Guts (Berserk) Panels Evan went to: Takami Akai (Gainax char. designer) Q&A, Noir (Gainax marketing) Q&A, Anime & Manga for Parents (run by Gilles Poitras), Anime Hell (this one is from Ryan Gavigan), Most Hilarious Bootlegs (run by Heidi Kemps), and History of Sports Anime/Manga (run by Tom Langston) Kill la Kill was the most popular show for cosplay at Fanime.

It’s been three months, but we’re back! This time Evan and David talk about anime that’s just old enough that you no longer care enough to be angry about it and video games so old you don’t even remember them anymore. Topics include Super Sonico, Nidhogg, Mother (the original, not the good one or the other good one), Cardcaptor Sakura, Inside Mari, being a tourist in Japan, being a BAD tourist in Japan, Japanese food, and oddly-specific otaku stores. We’re not putting timecodes in the show notes anymore starting with this episode because it takes too long and you guys probably don’t even care about it anyway. If you’re angry about this development, click that “Continue Reading” link to read the new show notes and leave us a hate-filled comment! Those are our favorite kind! DIRECT DOWNLOAD – RSS Feed – iTunes – Send us Feedback! – More episodes  (Runtime: 1 hour, 18 minutes) Opening/Ending Song: “Kill Me” by Lame Drivers Super Sonico is an anime about Nitroplus’s mascot character. A few days after Evan said nobody would license it and David said Sentai would… Sentai actually licensed it. (Watch it on Crunchyroll) Nidhogg is a 1-v-1 fencing football game or something like that. (Get it on Steam or the official site) Mother is an weird old NES JRPG. The sequel is Mother 2, better known in English as Earthbound. (You can’t get Mother legally in English, but you can get Earthbound on the Wii U Virtual Console) Cardcaptor Sakura is a famous magical girl manga series by superstar manga artists CLAMP. (Buy it on Amazon or RightStuf) Inside Mari is a creepy bodyswap manga by Flowers of Evil author Shuzo Oshimi (Read it on Crunchyroll) Japan is a country with some pretty cool stuff in it. We both visited it and talked way too much about it. The otaku meccas we discussed were Akihabara (just south of Ueno) and Nakano Broadway (just west of Shinjuku). The pirate-themed shop in Nakano Broadway that we talk about is called Bambool (here’s the official listing on the Nakano Broadway site). It turns out they’re not strictly pirate-themed, so I guess Evan was mistaken. The indie manga shop is Taco Che. Here’s the official site (in Japanese) and Nakano Broadway’s listing for it. For more info on otaku stuff to do in Japan Evan highly recommends Cruising the Anime City: An Otaku Guide to Neo Tokyo, by Patrick Macias (Otaku USA and Crunchyroll News Editor-in-Chief) Otaku USA Magazine: Evan and Ink wrote stuff for the new issue (cover is Attack on Titan). Evan did a review of .hack//Quantum (anime) and Wolfsmund (manga), and Ink did features on Beyond the Boundary, Kamisama Kiss, and (his favorite) Chihayafuru, as well as a review of the ongoing series Samurai Flamenco. Read more stuff from Ink at Fandom Post. He just did a pretty great Paranoia Agent writeup recently. Twitter: Ani-Gamers, Evan, David We didn’t mention it in the show, but we’re going to Genericon in Troy, NY again this year! Evan, Ink, and David will be there alongside Ed Chavez and possibly a couple other online anime folks. Evan’s not staff anymore, but he’s running two panels: “The Beautiful Backgrounds of Anime” (about anime background art) and “‘Trigger’ Warning: Birth of an Anime Studio” (about Studio Trigger, Kill la Kill, Inferno Cop, etc.)

In this episode (our THIRD episode this year — crazy, huh?), Evan, Ink, and David chat about some anime and video games that they’ve been watching and playing, including the Fall 2013 anime season! Topics include failed superheroes, poorly timed apocalypse stories, interminable space brotherhoods, hyperactive tennis clubs, magical glasses, fascist high schools, frog rappers, and the profound pain of game development. We talk about Kill la Kill for a while, so that’s kind of the main topic of this show. Show notes and links after the break, yo.

In this episode we make the mistake of trying to record a podcast in a moving car! Evan and Ink, exhausted from a weekend at Otakon 2013 talk about the ups and downs of the convention with Vinnie and Vince Averello.

It’s been far too long since we’ve put out a podcast, so here’s a little discussion of the drooleriffic 2012 anime series Mysterious Girlfriend X, featuring Ani-Gamers contributing editor Ink and our two buddies from across the pond, Phillip O’Connor (Ani-Gamers columnist) and former Ani-Gamer Elliot Page. I’m also there to do the intro/outro and ask a few questions, but seeing as I never watched the show, I mostly just listen this time. NOTE: The podcast has some mild spoilers for Mysterious Girlfriend X. If you’re in the area, remember to come out to AnimeNEXT 2013 this weekend in Somerset, NJ to see Ink and I (I’m running two panels: “The Beautiful Backgrounds of Anime” and “Panel Lightning Round”).

This show was recorded LIVE in Evan’s apartment, which means it has approximately 50% better jokes and 70% fewer awkward pauses than a typical episode of the Ani-Gamers Podcast (based on real science).

For years we have languished under the oppression of our ANNCast overlords, who refuse to even record a podcast at the East Coast’s largest anime convention, Otakon. So, with the help of our fearless captain Ed Sizemore, an intrepid team of Otakon pirate podcasters — including yours truly — have hijacked the Anime News Network‘s popular podcast to talk about Otakon 2012. Unfortunately the audio recording is one iteration away from Alvin Lucier’s “I am sitting in a room,” but I guess it’s in keeping with the pirate theme.  Show notes and links after the break.

Ed Sizemore (@edsizemore) from the Manga Out Loud podcast forgot to introduce himself, but he’s hosting. [0:18:12] We discuss the city of Baltimore and the weather (seriously). [0:21:33] Otakon culture! The infamous Ice Cold Water guy! Memes! [0:30:32] How safe is Baltimore? It has a reputation as a pretty dangerous city. [0:34:44] We talk about nearby restaurants, the huge number of attendees at Otakon, and their effect on the Baltimore economy. [0:41:05] Justin drops some final comments about the con before we close out the show. [0:43:25] Outro: “Yo Ho (A Pirate’s Life for Me)”

Just in time for Otakon 2012, we’ve got a quick little podcast check-in from David Estrella and I. We talk about our Otakon plans as well as what we’ve been watching/reading/playing. This includes the Muv-Luv visual novels, Black Jack (manga), Mars (manga), Bodacious Space Pirates, Spelunky, and The Dark Knight Rises (yeah it’s not anime, manga, or games, but we keep the discussion of it to a minimum). No show notes this time, since I need to pack for Otakon. (Also I apologize in advance for any audio problems I might have missed in my lightning editing session.)

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.

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.

[1:09:38] 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!

I was recently on an episode of the Anime World Order podcast, chatting with Daryl, Gerald, and Clarissa about the big lawsuit between FUNimation and ADV as well as the fine piece of Japanese animation known as Sword for Truth. It was a really fun show, and I want to thank the hosts for having me on. I’ve reposted the episode to our podcast feed, and I plan to continue doing this from now on when our bloggers are guest hosts on podcasts. (I’ve been neglecting to repost guest spots for about two years now…) Of course, if you’re not already listening to the Anime World Order podcast, get on it! They’re a veritable treasure trove of information about anime and manga, and they’re funny to boot.

What’s that? SIX MONTHS? Well, if you listen to the Ani-Gamers Podcast, I guess you’re probably used to super-long waits by now. Anyway, we’re back, and we’re starting off the year 2012 with something very timely and totally not recorded in the spring of last year: a review of the 2008 Spice & Wolf anime with Evan, Ink, and THEM Anime Reviews‘ very own Bradley C. Meek. Prepare for economics, wolf girls, and infuriating moé shepherds. That, plus a few mild spoilers, but there honestly isn’t much worth spoiling in this show. (Check the show notes for timecodes if you’re really spoiler-phobic.) We’re also trying out some new intro and outro music, so we would appreciate some feedback on those from our listeners. DIRECT DOWNLOAD – RSS Feed – iTunes – Send us Feedback! – More episodes (Runtime: 52 minutes) [00:00] Evan introduces this super-old podcast. [01:08] Intro: “Kill Me” by Lame Drivers [01:23] Let’s meet our guests! [01:53] The review begins with a summary of the setting and characters of Spice & Wolf, and some of our general impressions. [11:17] We start by talking about the sly wolf goddess Holo. [16:27] Next up is our straight-man protagonist, the trader Kraft Craft Lawrence. [29:35] Evan gets super-angry about Nora, the shy shepherd girl. [30:22] Season one spoilers start here. [31:27] Evan likes to see people die. Also, more spoilers. [37:27] Incredibly mild spoilers about the final scene in season one. [37:24] The spoilers are over now. You can uncover your ears, you babies. [39:16] We talk about the animation, background art, and some of the music in Spice & Wolf. [44:09] Final thoughts [48:08] “The awkward ending.” Twitter: @AniGamers, @VamptVo, @AnimatedInk (Ink has split his accounts between poetry and anime since this podcast was recorded), and @BradleyCMeek. [51:10] Outro: “Kill Me” by Lame Drivers [51:37] We read food nicknames from Parks & Recreation‘s Tom Haverford.
