Nao Yazawa, die Zeichnerin von Wedding Peach, war auch auf der aniMUC in Fürstenfeldbruck und Acme.Nipp-on-AiR zusammen mit SailorMoonGerman hatte die Chance, sie zu interviewen.Erlebt das ganze Interview mit guter Musik dazwischen, wie es auf der Radiofabrik gesendet wurde.Nebenbei, kleine Anekdote: 25 Minuten bevor die Sendung startete, zerstörte sich der ursprüngliche Sendestick (bzw. das Gehäuse der Sendefestplatte) von selbst. Und ich durfte in 25 Min von der ARGE Kultur zum Hbf radeln, dort zuhause die Daten auf einen neuen Stick speichern und dann wieder zur Radiofabrik radeln, und kam genau 20 Sek vor dem Start der Sendung an. Da sag mal noch einer, ich würde mich nicht für Acme.Nipp-on-AiR engagieren ;)(The show is in english.)

Nao Yazawa This episode of the OSMcast! is one of those chances that when presented to you, you just have to take. It’s a truly rare thing to get to interview a creator of something that you love, and even rarer for it to be someone from another country. In this case, it was manga and and a manga creator from Japan. Specifically, we had the most wondrous opportunity to talk with Nao Yazawa, who has created such things as Wedding Peach, Nozomi, and most recently a series called Moon and Blood. We got to chat about her experience at cons, creating manga, and more. It was conducted at this year’s MTAC. Some may even know it as MTAC Devil’s Dozen. OSMnotes Once again, gigantic thanks for MTAC and Nao Yazawa for this opportunity to chat with her. While Wedding Peach is out of print, it’s currently not the hardest thing to track down. That said, Moon and Blood is very much in print, very shojo-riffic, and is a pretty enjoyable read. This is coming from Basil, who normally can tolerate vampire stuff only as Castlevania and Hellsing. The manga page in question that Kevin asked about. And as a favor we would like to ask the world: Like we mentioned in our previous MTAC podcast, when you have a chance to see a panel or talk to the creator of something? Take it. When it comes down to it, it’s that craziness that rests beneath their cranium that gives all the awesome in the world. The shows, games, comics that we get to experience and talk about in tweets, blogs, audio recordings set loose upon the internet. In many ways they are unsung heroes and heroines, and they are some of the most important people around in geekdom. In other OSMnews, we already have the next episode mostly ready, so you should see an actual update next Monday! It is the last long lost episode we had left in the Pile of Shame that was last year, a roundtable about Toonami with the Chainsaw Buffet and Voice-Over Actor Supreme Micah Solusod. It’s only almost a year out of date! That’s still fresh, right? RIGHT? So anyway look forward to it!
MTAC Devil’s Dozen March 29-31, 2013 It’s currently raining like mad out here in Alabama so what better time to curl up, grab a beverage of your choosing, and listen to us as we spin the yarn of MTAC 2013, aka MTAC Devil’s Dozen. The hopes, the dreams, the tribulations, the successes, and all the rest that this con brought to us, nay, the world. Including, not to the fault of the con, the worst panel we have ever, EVER been to! Listen in as Basil gets angrier than he ever does in life. And he works retail! As per Official OSMcast Guidelines, we are joined at the hip by the Chainsaw Buffet podcast. OSMnotes MTAC’s next year is going to full of LOVE so that should prove interesting! Speaking of love, we are planning to release our interview with Nao Yazawa this upcoming Monday. As I think we mentioned during the podcast it was kinda split into two small segments and Basil is currently figuring how to best handle that. And after that, we’ll have a LONG LOST EPISODE brought forth from the year previous year. It’s about the relaunch of Toonami! Topical. That’s the OSMcast Guarantee!™
