Anime Podcast Aso Radio

Woo-hoo: back in full force baby! We were gone for a bit after our triology of Episode with DB3, but now Nz17 is back with a nutritious serving of anime news and reviews. But lest not our manga and video games fans be left out in the cold, this Episode we have two manga reviews and two portable game reviews. As a matter of fact, how about we do that for the next two Episodes as well as this one? Sounds like a plan! Anime Review: "Hyper Police," "Yugo the Negotiator in Pakistan" HotSpot Manga Review: "Comic Party," "Maison Ikkoku" HotSpot Video Game Review: "Castlevania Adventure (Game Boy)," "R-Type DX (Game Boy Color)"

More silly news ensues this Episode. There is also some Dreamcast nostalgia. Good times, good times. But of course there are also anime reviews, including one based on a fighting game -- a fighting game for the SEGA Dreamcast. Coincidence? I think not, sir! Anime Review: "Power Stone," "Tenchi Muyo GXP" HotSpot Video Game Review: "Elite Beat Agents (Nintendo DS)"

Another Episode with DB3? Believe it! We have some funny news this Episode, so be sure to listen to that. Also behold a pair of shotgun reviews and a video game review. Then we wrap it all in a warm and fluffy look forward at things in 2007. Anime Review: "Martian Successor Nadesico," "Tenchi Muyo GXP" HotSpot Video Game Review: "Yoshi Touch 'n' Go (Nintendo DS)" HotSpot: "Editorial: 2007 Anime Expectations"

A special surprise is in store for this and the next two Episodes: we have DB3 as our cohost! So thrill to our hijinks comradery as we tag-team some anime reviews, some news, and a spicy HotSpot editorial about the anime-ignorant masses. Anime Review: "GTO: Great Teacher Onizuka," "Planetes," "Scrapped Princess" HotSpot: "Editorial: Ignorant Frat Boy"

Oh glee and rapture, we begin our interviews from Anime Banzai in this Episode. (Sarcasm does not even apply.) What a good way to begin things with our excellent interview featuring the creator and producer of Schlock Mercenary, Howard Tayler. Anime Review: "Last Exile" HotSpot: "Howard Tayler Interview from Anime Banzai 2006"

Behold, dear listeners, our promised new cohosts! I now proudly introduce jd10t and Cat13, the two new femmes d'animation here at ASO Radio. This is their first Episode, so please do give constructive criticism so that they may become the best new cohosts this season. And how do we begin our new tenure with these cohosts? With a hearty helping of baseball anime and our ASO Radio Live! panel that we did at Anime Banzai, that's how! Listen and enjoy, or face the wrath of... straw! (Straw can be quite dry and scratchy and even uncomfortable at times, you see.) Anime Review: "Princess Nine" HotSpot: "ASO Radio Live! from Anime Banzai 2006"

All aboard, the review train is now leaving the station! We have a car-load full of reviews this Episode courtesy of Nz17 including the remainder of Comic Party and new entries from Licensed by Royalty and Kodocha. And since we didn't load any video game reviews before we left the platform, this week we have a new Ravin' Rant about all those little things about localisation that can annoy someone. Anime Review: "Comic Party," "Kodacha," "L/R Licensed by Royalty" HotSpot: "Ravin' Rant: Localization irks"

Hey we got some great stuff for you this Episode indeed! We were able to go to the advance theatrical showing of Fullmetal Alchemist: The Movie: The Conqueror of Shamballa: The Subtitle, and we have a full and thorough review waiting for you. Did we like it or was it awful dreck? Find out inside. Anime Review: "Animation Runner Kuromi," "Fullmetal Alchemist: The Movie: The Conqueror of Shamballa" HotSpot Video Game Review: "Kirby Canvas Curse," "Meteos"

What more can be said? We are really at Episode #100 after all these years. Awesome possum and bake an apple pie, we did it! So join Nz17 and special guests Warpshadow and Link1986 for this spectacular show. We have anime, manga, and video game reviews galore and more and more and more. Encore! Encore! Anime Review: "Boys Be...," "Comic Party" HotSpot Manga Review: "Sgt. Frog" HotSpot Video Game Review: "New Super Mario Bros.," "Zoo Keeper"

We poke fun at Capcom's craziness concerning Power Stone, and then we feature a music-themed HotSpot full of rhythm games. Too sweet to beat! Just one more until Episode #100... oh yeah! Anime Review: "Power Stone" HotSpot Video Game Review: "Dance Dance Revolution Mario Mix," "Mad Maestro"

Episode #098 is short and sweet just like that darling midget girl who rides the bus on Thursdays. Sitting next to her this week is a Paranoid Agent and a Sonic Rush of rush-hour riders. Let the countdown to #100 begin! Anime Review: "Paranoia Agent" HotSpot Video Game Review: "Sonic Rush"

All right! Woo! We got some awesome new audio introductions for our reviews. Expect to see more next Episode too. This time we review the second entry in the Super GALS! series and the classic Dreamcast game Shenmue. And this Episode is host to the second entry in Azure's Corner. Get to downloading, this Episode is sweet and spicy! Anime Review: "Super GALS!" HotSpot Video Game Review: "Shenmue" HotSpot: "Azure's Corner"

Well otaku-of-all-ages this Episode is packed to the brim with the unpatented ASO goodness. After all, if we patented it, how could we so easily share it? *wink* We have dual reviews dueling for supremacy this week, a smorgasborg of international anime news, fan art contest winners, and a HotSpot video game review with special segment. What sort of unique offering are we bringing this week? The HotSpot has the first entry in a hopefully long-running series we like to call "Azure's Corner." Anime Review: "The Hakkenden - The Legend of the Dog Warriors," "Paranoia Agent" HotSpot Video Game Review: "Taiko Drum Master (PlayStation 2)" HotSpot: "Azure's Corner"

Poor Nz17, he has a sore mouth from his dental work. But he is dedicated to you listeners, so here is the fruit of his painful labor, Episode #095. This Episode is going to be a whole show instead of the daily segments we've been having lately. Herein we shall review three different anime (one excellent, two not-so-much) and one video game. Congratulations go out to Cat, our newest fan art contest winner! Be sure to get in your artwork for the next contest; for more information, please check out our fan art page. Anime Review: "Catnapped! The Movie," "Yugo the Negotiator," "Kimagure Orange Road" HotSpot Video Game Review: "P.N.03 (Gamecube)"

Manga or manwa? Neither one, really, but we feature a review of the OEL manga Van Von Hunter. HotSpot Manga Review: "Van Von Hunter"

We read on up the fanmail and comments about last Episode's 'pirate,' and feature the Archer Avenue single "Breakdown on N. St. Mary's."

Nz17 does his final review of Maison Ikkoku. What does this mean for the series? Listen and find out! Afterwards we go old school with a review of Hyper Police, practically fall asleep with Night on the Galactic Railroad, and DB3 powers up with Power Stone. Anime Review: "Maison Ikkoku," "Hyper Police," "Night on the Galactic Railroad," "Power Stone"

Like savage beasts of the wilderness, Nz17 and DB3 rip apart Otogi Zoshi and reveal it for what it is. Then Nz17 points out all the zany and somewhat inexplainable quirks in Hellsing. Have we no mercy? Anime Review: "Otogi Zoshi," "Hellsing"

Huzzah and good fortune, for we have DB3 present and accounted for in this Episode of ASO Radio. DB3 even hand-picked the news for this segment, so you know it is like the freshly-squeezed orange juice you always see in the commercials. You know the ones.

This HotSpot brings us a spicy pair of reviews, one manga and one video game. What can they be? Who knows? I do! And you can too if you listen to our Episode. HotSpot Manga Review: "Fruits Basket" HotSpot Video Game Review: "Gunstar Super Heroes (Game Boy Advance)"
