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.

Bonus – Daryl and Gerald Saying Things About Robots

We don’t have a podcast of our own recorded yet, so we’re just going to abuse the Creative Commons here and post just our audio segments from the latest episode of the Anime82 podcast. We took so long to respond that just our “answers” take up 80 minutes of the approximately 3 hour running time of that episode, but if you’re into mecha then you definitely want to hear the responses from Jeff Tatarek of Lather’s Blather, Dane from Anime Pacific, Philip from Eeeper’s Choice, and the mastermind of Anime82 himself, Regan Strongblood.

Clarissa was absent from the recording since she has a real life, but worry not: she’s on the latest Anime3000 Panel to recommend spooky/thrilling/scary anime and manga titles just in time for Halloween along with manga grandmaster and the man whose life is the inspiration for Suda51’s Diabolical Pitch, Ed Chavez from Vertical Inc! In addition, Daryl was on the Greatest Movie EVER! podcast talking about another Golan/Globus work of art, Death Wish 4: The Crackdown. NOW DEES EEZ A CANNON FILM!
