As unbelievable as it is to accept the fact that Hiroyuki Yamaga used to be capable of worthwhile output based on the absolute horseshit he says nowadays, it is true. This time, Gerald reviews his favorite anime movie of all time, Royal Space Force: The Wings of Honneamise.

Finding copies is becoming harder, but at least they’re not quite as expensive as they used to be. Right Stuf has a few copies as well, as does eBay.

NOTE: We know you people who’ve seen this movie (and some who have not!) want to immediately start commenting RIGHT NOW. We ask that you actually listen to this episode first and then abide by the requests put forth. This is, in all likelihood, a futile endeavor, but at least we tried.

This was not stolen from the Hot Tears of Shame podcast.
This was not stolen from the Hot Tears of Shame podcast. We made it ourselves.

MOST DANGEROUS Matt Alt is the author of books and things, but it’s cool because they have pretty pictures:
Yokai Attack!: The Japanese Monster Survival Guide
Hello, Please! Very Helpful Super Kawaii Characters from Japan
Super #1 Robot: Japanese Robot Toys, 1972-1982

Perhaps you have read Matt Alt’s articles within the pages of Otaku USA magazine, the finest of all magazines which you should buy/subscribe to if you love us as much as you say you do. Perhaps you have heard of the Japanese adventures Matt Alt has undertaken on the Hot Tears of Shame podcast. Or perhaps you have read about the exploits, adventures, and conquests of Matt Alt on your favorite Wapanese gamer blog. Or maybe you missed it because there are like, 70 updates a day on that site. Craaaaaaaaaaaazy, man. Regardless, the AWO decade in review will build off of Matt Alt’s writings at CNNGo.com, namely this article.

ENJOY YOURSELF.
