Anime World Order Show # 105 – Trigun Is Older Than Many Current Anime Fans

Due to anime conventions, magazine deadlines, and to a lesser extent DE REEPAZ we missed our chance to release this way back in March when this was initially recorded. But in this episode, after dispensing some advice on running mecha panels at anime conventions Gerald reviews the unjustifiably recent theatrical film, Trigun: Badlands Rumble.

Turns out that OSMCast! still isn’t posted yet, nor has the Anime Fans Give Back marathon been uploaded. But Daryl was on the ANNCast with Tim Eldred to discuss “Top 10 Anime of the 1980s.” Note that Daryl’s list is completely volatile such that the contents and rankings could change from moment to moment, but the ten he picked are all pretty darned good. Why, several of them have been reviewed already on THIS VERY PODCAST. Also, both Daryl and Gerald were guests on the Greatest Movie EVER! podcast to discuss The Perfect Weapon, featuring Jeff Speakman and the Hawaiian Mormon fist. You can get the links to those by clicking on Guest Spots up above.

Anime World Order Show # 104 – The [Sword for] Truth Has Set Us Free

We’ve been having a decent amount of guests on lately, huh? This time we are joined by Evan Minto from the Anigamers podcast and Genericon staff to talk about–PER HIS REQUEST–the notoriously disliked Sword for Truth by Osamu Dezaki and Akio Sugino.

We also weigh in on the bits of the ADV/FUNimation lawsuit that sounded interesting to us.

  • The cost to buy Sword for Truth has gone up a tiny bit since we recorded this. The cost of the live-action movie remains the same!
  • Here’s a pretty keen summary detailing the series of events that led to the Section 23 Films reorganization.
  • You can get the PDF of the filing directly from the Harris County Texas District Clerk site if you make a free account, but we’re not gonna lie: we got our copies from here. Obviously, the site will be updated as developments occur whereas a PDF would not, but the main page we looked at from that was this one.
