We missed a month. And another. We thought we could quickly record something where we just read emails. We were wrong. Gerald and Clarissa recorded in the same room, so the sibilance on those “s” sounds is much higher than normal. Every once in a while there’s an echo. As such, any promises by Gerald of reviewing Gunpla Builders made at the start of this recording shall remain lies until the release of the second half of this recording. Unbeknownst to the rest of us, Gerald instead deployed a series of anime trivia questions of his own devising upon our unsuspecting selves. The results…are as follows.

This is a pale shadow of the Atomic Trivia War 9000. Did we forget to mention the recording ended up being three hours? We split it into two for ease of listening; this is Part One and Part Two will follow next week or so. We also forgot to mention that our special guest host is Erin Finnegan, whom nobody would know about were it not for us mentioning her a lot and conscripting her for Otaku USA (new issue’s out soon!), thus making her cool enough to become the writer of Shelf Life for ANN. At least, that’s OUR version of history.

Anime World Order Show # 101 – ABSOLUTE ZERO! NNNNNOOOOOWWWWWW!

After entirely too many years we once again have as our guest Youtube’s Patrick Macias! He’s an author, editor (of both Crunchyroll News and Otaku USA Magazine), podcaster, Internet video star, admirer of bad fashion, and television personality. He’s also a paranoiac who’s a menace to our society, which is why we need HIM to back Gerald up as he reviews the…divisive…Rintaro film Harmagedon!

You should buy Harmagedon because it’s dirt cheap. If you want to watch that Entropy AMV we mentioned, it’s on the Corn Pone Flicks website. You should watch the other things they have on there too if you want to get the references to them that Daryl continues to make after all these years. Particularly B.A.D. 1-3 and all of the shorts.

Full disclosure: we do mercenary work for Patrick in exchange for money and Mutant Growth Hormone. And you know what? We repeatedly forget to plug that work here! In the issue of Otaku USA that will soon be out, Daryl’s writing about the Dirty Pair OVAs, the Axis Powers Hetalia movie, and the Blade anime TV series. On the website, he’s done a few writeups on such grand topics as the original Bubblegum Crisis OAVs, the criminally underrated Karas (if you like GARO, you really should watch this; PS: nobody understood from the AWO Karas review that the sound clips were from Thief II: The Metal Age, not the anime dub), and legendary “bad anime” Dracula: Sovereign of the Damned.
