It's our ninth anniversary! And on this episode, join Dennis, Ed, Garrett, Karen, & Kate as we return to the world of Studio Ghibli with Ponyo. It's a literal fish out of water story, with the most cutesy imagery for an apocalypse, and perhaps the coolest Ghibli mom. So put those elixers away, because that's what crabs crave. And hit up that deli counter, because Ponyo wants all of the ham. 0:00:00 - Intro & Some Anime News 0:12:06 - The Watchlist 0:37:50 - Production Notes 0:50:46 - Ponyo the Goldfish 1:19:50 - Ponyo the Human 1:52:03 - Sousuke's Trial 2:20:02 - Voices, Final Thoughts, & Kanpai Support the show by donating to our Ko-Fi link below or by purchasing Ponyo on Blu-ray through our Amazon affiliate link: https://amzn.to/441Bh6a Dennis: @ichnob | Ed: @ippennokuinashi | Garrett: @blkriku | Karen: @ryacosplay | Kate: @taikochan Linktr.ee | Ko-Fi | RSS

So, the only solution available to achieve BOTH starting at the right time, AND syncing to the right moment was to break the opening conversation into several small chunks and then create a little space between all of the chunks. So, that's why the opening conversation sounds the way it does. I actually had to break up the conversations on one or two other tracks too - but to so much less extreme of a degree that it's not noticeable other than on the opening conversation.

Next in our Throwing it Back w/Lola season is 2011's City Hunter! (And many of you guessed right it last week!) As we know, in this season of the podcast, we're jumping around the past 20+ years of Kdramaland to find and rediscover what it is about these small screen masterpieces that make us love and appreciate them so much. It's also a journey for me to return to my beginnings of watching Kdrama and remember what things I've learned from these dramas and what more I hope to learn as I continue watching them! But with today's episode, I officially am discussing one of those pivotal Kdramas for me in my Kdrama journey. It's a drama that I unfortunately spend over two hours talking about in this episode because of this very fact. It's also a podcast episode about a drama that gives almost episode-by-episode spoilers...so proceed with caution! I do include time stamps if you want to listen to the production notes about the drama and/or just skip to the end where I give my favorite and least favorite things about this drama and any other general thoughts on it! But the bulk of this episode is a play-by-play of why I love this drama and it's a good episode for a drinking game! Drink every time I describe something as "so good!" So, join me as I revisit one of my favorite Kdramas, City Hunter.

It's a holiday themed episode, as Ed, Dennis, Garrett, Karen, & Kate discuss 2003's Tokyo Godfathers by Satoshi Kon. Less away in a manger and more thrown in the dumpster, listen along as we discuss points like how dangerous driving is on snowy streets, found family versus real family, so many Kiyokos, not the mama, and miracles on the streets of Tokyo. It's no silent night with how much trouble our trio gets into throughout the film, so hope you enjoy, and have a happy holidays! 0:00:00 - Intro & The Watchlist 0:23:20 - Some Anime News 0:35:16 - Production Notes 0:42:52 - Tokyo Godfathers Discussion 2:03:03 - Voices, Final Thoughts, & Kanpai Support the show by donating to our Ko-Fi link below or by purchasing Tokyo Godfathers on Blu-ray/DVD through our Amazon affiliate link: https://amzn.to/4743qre Dennis: @ichnob | Ed: @ippennokuinashi | Garrett: @blkriku | Karen: @RyaCosplay | Kate: @taikochan Website | Email | Facebook | Bluesky | Twitter | Instagram | RSS | Ko-Fi

We're continuing the spooky in November with the first of our two -part miniseries covering the 1996 OVA Master of Mosquiton, featuring hosts Diana, Ed, Kate, Dennis, and returning guest Samantha. Why is this vampire and his minions being bossed around by this young woman? How many O-parts are there in this world? What are Honou and Yuki's real forms? Who knew Mosquiton was actually a ladies man? And finally, won't someone back Dr. Hubble his photograph? What looks like an ecchi-comedy from the box art is actually a globe-trotting adventure for a macguffin (but yes, there's comedy and some ecchiness). So strap in and earn that money for travel expenses, because we're going O-Parts hunting with Mosquiton and Inoha. 0:00:00 - Intro & The Watchlist 0:12:39 - Some Anime News 0:19:10 - Production Notes 0:28:34 - EP1 - London Panic 0:52:49 - EP2 - Satellite Float 1:13:41 - EP3 - Ocean Encounter 1:42:58 - Voices, Final Thoughts, & Kanpai Thanks to Samantha for being on!

On this spoopy episode, join Ed, Kate, and Dennis as we discuss the 1988 OVA series Vampire Princess Miyu. There's different vampire rules here than we're used to seeing. Though none of the standard weaknesses apply, Miyu's unaging is typical but granting eternal life is new. There's exorcisms, creepy dolls, not-Alphonse Elric, double sad backstory, and Himiko doesn't even need a warrant for any info. 0:00:00 - Intro & The Watchlist 0:18:10 - Some Anime News 0:30:33 - Production Notes 0:38:16 - EP1 - Unearthly Kyoto 1:00:26 - EP2 - A Banquet of Marionettes 1:17:03 - EP3 - Fragile Armor 1:34:00 - EP4 - Frozen Time 1:48:19 - Voices, Final Thoughts, & Kanpai Support the show by donating to our Ko-Fi link below or by purchasing Vampire Princess Miyu on DVD through our Amazon affiliate links.

On this episode, join Dennis, Kate, Ed, and the return of Caitlin as we discuss the 1987 OVA Metal Skin Panic Madox-01. It's not like prototype mech suits just fall out from the back of a truck, but in this anime, they do! There's a severe case of toxic masculinity for our antagonist 1st Lt Killgore, Ellie's amazing pilot skills for a woman we guess (?), Koji's priorities, Shiori's ten lines of dialogue, and (mostly) reading the manual.

On this episode, join Kate and Dennis with first time special guest Rhys as we discuss 1990's Cyber City Oedo 808. Lots of action, violence, and profanity (for the dub at least) in this one, but for a Yoshiaki Kawajiri project, there's actually no nudity.

On this episode, join Dennis, Ed, Garrett, Kate, Karen, & Diana as they discuss the 1997 film Princess Mononoke, which was released in the US in 1999. One of Ghibli's iconic films, there was a lot to talk about this time. So much to discuss that we actually had to edit a bunch out because it would just be too long. Let's see if you can notice some of the cuts! Besides the many themes of the film and the moral grayness of a majority of the characters, we also discuss some of the amazing action sequences, is leprosy still around, cannot help comparing the dub vs subs on this one, Gaiman praise, and discussing the "you're beautiful" line.
