Anime World Order Show # 110 – Your Christmas Gift is Us Reading Emails

No, it’s not the end of the world: Clarissa’s semester has ended, which means we can get back to the usual…er, actually it didn’t end so recently that we have something to review. So we read three emails instead.

Daryl has two new articles up on the Otaku USA website. He reviewed the 1990s OAV remake of Casshan: Robot Hunter, and has a recommendation guide for what Lupin the Third anime you should watch next, depending on how people are most likely to be introduced to it in 2012.

(0:00 – 4:21): What we’ve been up to

(4:21 – 15:57): What do we think of Rainbow? Are we looking forward to Mamoru Hosoda’s new movie?
(15:57 – 32:00): Why aren’t there more females in positions of power in anime, manga or videogames? If you’re curious, the names mentioned offhand were as follows:

You can use this very resource to find other key names that we neglected to mention when you make your comments. BUT WE’LL KNOW WHAT YOU DID.
(32:00 – 47:00): If music licensing is so screwy, couldn’t they just release Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure in America with the ending credits song changed?
(47:00 – 49:55): What’s coming up next (maybe)

Bonus – Answering Emails the Otaku Way: On Christmas Eve

Christmas is typically a time for family and loved ones. But for us, it’s just another day. So let’s answer some emails. Oh, and announce the winners of the contest we’ve been running for the last several months.

Recording quality is a little tinny/below par since we didn’t run these through the usual filtering methods. We’ll list the notes and links…another day…

  • Gunshow Comic – Daryl will state for the record that he was down with the GSC before the Anime Club saga elevated it to immortality; for ease of reference the Anime Club arcs have been linked via the site. In the event those links someday go down: Part 1 Part 2 Part 2.5 Part 3 (For the record, if you want to know which Anime Club members we all correspond to, all three of us are Mort. We may think otherwise–Daryl thinks he’s Dave, Clarissa thinks she’s Mark, Gerald knows he’s Mort–but we’re probably all Mort.)
