Podcasts about Otakuthon

I finally made it to Otakuthon and I already want to go back. My generous Montreal host Chris aka Kurotsuki joins me to talk about pros and cons (mostly pros) of Canada's biggest and best anime convention. We also chat a little about this year's Anime Revolution in Vancouver, and I certainly had some things to say on that.

#escapefromnewyork #moviereview #spiraken In this long awaited episode, Xan is joined by Stefan Latour, friend of the podcast and head of Otakuthon. These two get to review a classic 80s action, sci fi dystopian film that has reached cult status set in the far distant year of 1997. Does it hold up? Well sit back and find out as they review the 1981 John Carpenter Film, Escape From New York,  starring Kurt Russell, Lee Van Cleef, Ernest Borgnine, Donald Pleasence, Isaac Hayes, Adrienne Barbeau, and Harry Dean Stanton. ----more---- Besides  discussing the awesomeness of this movie, our intrepid hosts debate on the legitimacy of Chock full of Nuts, the behind the scenes antics of Xan's TTRPG sessions and why Anime cons are so important.

Yoshihisa Hirano is the composer, arranger, conductor, and lyricist behind the wonderfully eclectic music of Hunter x Hunter, the unforgettably thrilling symphonies of Death Note, the inventive new sound of the Hajime no Ippo sequels, the elegantly Brandenburg-evoking concertos of Ouran, and many other anime soundtracks. When not scoring background music, he has collaborated with Mikiya Katakura to arrange theme songs of the Maria-sama ga Miteru series and various ALI PROJECT works, blending dissonant and atonal elements with modern pop music to craft a unique sonic experience. Anime only accounts for a fraction of his career that showcases influences from all eras of art music and modern film scores alike, along with his own signature touches. His early appreciation of classical music soon inspired him to teach himself composition, pursue it academically in America, and teach himself English in the process so he could learn as much as possible. After years of Kestrel shouting Hirano's name from the rooftops (or podcast, as it were) as his favorite anime composer of all time, he got to experience Hirano's first public concert featuring the man himself conducting his own anime compositions, front and center at Montreal's Otakuthon 2019. Thanks to Hirano's proficiency in English, the two were able to speak briefly, and a year later, they reunite for an exclusive exploration of an illustrious career in this very episode.

Editor’s Note: It took Mike more than ten days between taping this episode and eventually posting it. If you listen very closely, you’ll know why that happened pretty quickly We give our recaps of Funimation Con, Anime Expo Lite, and Aniplex Online a week after they had happened. Kevin and James talk at length on the licenses announced peppered with further thoughts on the digital and physical distribution of manga, light novels, and even video games (3:10). Then a thought on the concerts seen (37:30). And we finish by looking ahead to Anime North and Otakuthon’s online offerings (45:22) Hopefully the turnaround for the next episode won’t take double digit days Mike Nicolas, James Austin, Kevin Ng, Mohamed Sharmarke Visit the website for more information and links: https://animeroundtable.wordpress.com/2020/07/21/6ixtalk-anime-roundtable-v2-0-digest-5-july-10-2020/ Website: animeroundtable.com Twitter and IG: @animeroundtable Email: animeroundtable@gmail.com

Take part A1-2 and add part D3-5, then turn the middle part top-wise?? This week, we're talking about the world of Gundam plastic models, AKA Gunpla, with special guest, Lauren Orsini—The Otaku Journalist and author of Gunpla 101! Next week: Are you hearing voices? Animal noises? The creme-de-la-creme? The feminine abyss? I'm not sure what any of that means, but we'll be hear to talk Scott Pilgrim with a special guest! Where can I learn more about Lauren Orsini? If you want to learn more about Lauren, you can follow her on Twitter, or read about more of her work on The Otaku Journalist, _Gunpla 101, or the Gunpla 101 twitter! Episode outline Fandom Facts History and Origins: While doing the research for this week's topic and unearthing the history of Gunpla, we inevitably were lead to our guests on words. From Gunpla101.com's "the History of Gunpla": > Mobile Suit Gundam, the first Gundam series ever, aired in 1979. > > Less than a year later, the first Gunpla kit appeared. And for the past 30 years, people of all ages have continued to enjoy this unusual hobby. > ... > - The word “Gunpla” was coined at the same time as the first kit. Like “cosplay,” it’s a Japanese amalgamation of two English words—“Gundam” and “plastic,” as in “plastic model. English speakers will interchange this with “Gundam models,” but we usually say Gunpla because it’s shorter. > - The first Gunpla, released in July 1980, cost just 300 yen, or about $3. Obviously, it was a kit for making the very first Mobile Suit Gundam model. > - The earliest Gunpla kits, released between 1980 and 1989, are nothing like the Gunpla we build today. Instead of snapping together, you had to glue them together with cement. Even trickier, they were all one color, and you’d need to paint them first! You’d get a rigid, hardly poseable model for your reward. Today these are called FG (First Grade) kits. > - The first High Grade was released in 1990 and cost 1000 yen, or about $10. As would become a tradition, the first model of any grade was the original Mobile Suit Gundam. Today High Grade is synonymous with “cheap and easy,” but in 1990 it was considered a more detailed, poseable grade of Gunpla. > - The first Master Grade was released in 1995 and cost 2500 yen, or about $25. It is the first time the original Mobile Suit Gundam was named correctly, as the RX-78-2. The grade was originally designed to be used for a select number of models to commemorate Gundam’s 15th anniversary, but the popularity of these more accurate models is why they’re still being manufactured to this day. > - The first Perfect Grade Gunpla appeared in 1998 and cost 12,000 yen or about $120. Today’s Perfect Grades make this look cheap, often topping $200 or more. Perfect grades come in 1/60 scale and include so much detail that they can take weeks to build. They may even come with wiring for LEDs or other electronic features. > ... > - The first Real Grade showed up just recently, in 2010. It was designed to be a step up from High Grade in terms of realism, without being as complicated as a Master Grade. Search Data: Looking at some of the Google Trends data since 2004, Gunpla has gained some popularity, and is relatively stable in terms of search volume having grown by 50% since 2004. There appears to be some precipitating event around September 2013 where interest picked up quite a bit, possibly in relation to Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin being released in North America? It's unclear. The top ten countries by search volume are: Japan (by a huge margin), Hong Kong, Singapore, Philippines, Malaysia, South Korea, Thailand, China, Indonesia, and Taiwan. Canada is 11th, and the United States is 13th. Size of Fandom: Based on a number of different sources: The Gunpla Subreddit has over 48 000 subscribers The Advanced Gunpla Subreddit has over 3000 subscribers "As of 2015, Bandai has sold an estimate 450 million units, with nearly 2,000 different Gundam plastic models" Wikipedia. A simple calculation of units per model gives us over 225 000 units per model (and a good rough estimate of the number of fans). It's safe to say that there are probably more than 100 000 fans. Fan Demographics: We don't have data for this week's fandom, but we do have some data of fans of Gundam from the Gunpla subreddit, which is close (it's at least the same sample population). From a survey conducted by MrUsamaKhan... Most folks got into Gundam via the Anime (79.7%), but a large percentage also got into it via Gunpla (13.5%) Gundam Wing was the first Gundam anime that most saw (42.1%) followed by Mobile Suit Gundam (14.2%), and Mobile Suit Gundam SEED/SEED Destiny (12.7%) There was also a link to Gunpla demographics in Japan which includes some age data and a comparison of 2010 to 2015 (along with when different Gundam series were released): Age: The largest group is folks ages 40-50 (30%) followed by folks ages 30-40 (22%) then folks age 20-30 (20%). It looks like, for the most part, folks are growing up with the hobby, but also, younger folks are getting into it too! From Lauren's own Gunpla 101 stats: Age: About 33% are ages 25 - 30 (the largest group) followed by folks 18-24 (Google Analytics does not report on folks younger than age 18) Gender: Fairly even, with 54% male and 46% female Fanac Fast Facts: There are over 6300 works on Archive Of Our Own in the Gundam series: Age ratings: Teen and up (1900+), General Audience (1700+), Explicit (1200+) Categories: M/M (3700+), Gen (1500+), F/M (1200+) Fandoms: Gundam Wing (5100+), Gundam 00 (400+), Gundam Seed (200+) Japanese researchers discovered in 2005 that in a study of university students, building Gunpla before doing mathematical drills produced a significant improvement in completion time. Last Episode's Famous Last Words Michael How big can the models get? G Are there enthusiasts who don't care about the series at all? T What are the forbidden techniques of Gunpla? (think about Lego) Z Gunpla is the modern day ship-in-a-bottle building. This week's spotlight Gunpla Builders World Cup > “Gunpla Builders World Cup” is the official Gunpla global tournament presented by BANDAI where modelers around the world show off their completed Gundam models. The competition determines the greatest Gunpla builder in the world and let creators fight for the title of Gunpla World Cup Champion! If you happen to be at Otakuthon next week, you can probably participate in the Canadian semi-finals portion of the GBWC! OR if you happen to be at Otakon, you can check out Lauren's panel, 39 Years of Gundam Anime, or the Art in Gundam panel. Race Against Time IV > Now in its fourth year running, the Race Against Time is an annual charity marathon to raise money for the Alzheimer Society of Canada by beating the SNES classic, Chrono Trigger, as many times as possible in 24 hours. This year, the event is running every week until August 11 and 12 for the main event (see website for detailed schedule). > > Alzheimer's is a terrible disease that slowly robs those afflicted of their memories, and, eventually, their very sense of being. We are racing to help preserve those memories of loved ones and for a cure to stop it once and for all! > > All donations go directly to the Alzheimer Society of Canada. Famous Last Words This week's famous last words around next week's fandom, Scott Pilgrim! T How popular is Scott, as a character within the fandom? G Is the music portion of Scott Pilgrim as important to the GN fans as it is to fans of the movie? Z How divisive was the movie? Lauren What did you think of Lost at Sea?? Do you want to talk about Lost at Sea with Lauren? Where can you find us online? We are everywhere!

Fanthropological is an anthropological (ish) podcast where we bring the fan's-eye view to you! Each week, we take a look at a different fandom, dig up interesting background, trivia, and history, and try to get to why it is that people are a fan. We also try to highlight good causes related to that fandom, and find interesting things that fans have created to share those to the world. Each episode is about an hour. Ish. Who is "The Nickscast"? We are the Nickscast! Three products of late-80s / early-90s pop culture who love exploring fandom and everything geek ... who also happen to have been best buddies since high school, and all happen to be named Nick. Yes, we are super creative (dare we say, the most creative). Ahem We are Nick Green, Nick Terwoord, and Nick Zacharewicz: We started the Nickscast as a labour of love, and as a place to entertain and to discuss our love of fans and fandom, and all that is shiny and interesting in that realm. It's what lead us to start our first podcast, our satellite podcasts, Fanthropological, and so much more. We want to help others learn more about different fandoms, and to create empathy with other fans: We dream of a world where other fans aren't "those Weird-o's", but just folks with different tastes. A world where fandom is full of discourse and analysis, and there are plenty of tools and resources to help. Fans building communities to do good in the world. Because everyone's a fan. Thanks Special thanks to Lauren Orsini for making the time to chat with us, especially as she was in the midst of a move when we had chatted with her!

In this episode, Andrew talks with his old friend Peter from Medallion Comics about the anime that made him the watcher he is today and inspired his writings. They talk about Digimon, Yugioh, Dragonball, pokemon and a whole host of other anime. They also take a reminisce about how they met and tell a few fun stories from their college anime club days. Though before all that, they gab about some games that were shown at E3, including Kingdom Hearts and Smash Bros Ultimate.
