We haven’t posted anything lately, and with our convention appearance at Genericon impending, Daryl figured we may as well let people know that…the convention appearance at Genericon actually exists!

The Genericon website is here. In other convention news, the Florida Anime Experience is coming Memorial Day weekend courtesy of Wasabi Anime/Green Mustard Productions and many of the former JACON staffers. We’ve provided them with a list of AWO-approved titles to show in their video room. More announcements on that to come.

For those who don’t have the Otaku USA website in their RSS feed, Daryl wrote a peachy-keen Macross Plus web article. Also mentioned in this podcast: Battle Angel.

It’s hard to believe that the episode of Dave and Joel’s Fast Karate for the Gentlemen about MADOX-01 was from so many years ago, but it was.

The episode of Anime3000 where we talked about Miyazaki was a supplemental or bonus to this episode that was distinctly NOT about Miyazaki, but I’ll be damned if I can find the link. It’s there…somewhere. Maybe.

PS: we would never dream of putting anything weird after the end credits. We wouldn’t do that to you guys. Especially not twice in a row.

Boy, we sure put this one off! Daryl finally bites the bullet after saying he’d do it for four months and reviews Gosenzo-sama Banbanzai!, a little-known OAV from Mamoru Oshii. Only part of the reason it’s little known can be attributed to the fact that it’s not easy for us in America to spell “Gosenzosama Banbanzai” correctly.

Due to time constraints and not wanting to delay this any further due to warnings from the future, we just answered one email. WILL THERE EVER BE A RAINBOW?

Catchy theme song, isn’t it? For Kenji Kawai’s 2007 full-orchestra concert–18 years later–he was sure to include it:

It’s probably been out of print for a while, but you can still find people selling the Mamoru Oshii Cinema Trilogy for about $20.

Other stuff:

Clarissa’s in grad school and next month is finals, so who knows when the next episode will come out? NOT US, THAT’S WHO.
