Vintage Anime Club Podcast

On this episode, we're down to a trio of hosts with Ed, Kate, and Dennis to discuss episodes 4 and 5 of El-Hazard: The Mysterious World. Ifurita is awake, and wrecking things. But there's more going on in El-Hazard than an ancient demon weapon. What's the deal with Galus and Nahato? Shayla Shayla and Nanami exchange insults, including a dub translation that probably wouldn't work today. Bugram party times, including a reference to one of the oldest AMVs we can remember. And our heroes' plans not really working out all that well for now. Luckily, you won't have to wait 10,000 for the conclusion. But we are pushing back the finale by a week.

On this episode, Diana hosts for one of her favorite anime series ever, El-Hazard: The Magnificent World, along with Karen, Ed, Kate, Dennis, and Garrett. We go over the first three episodes of this seven-part 1995 OVA series that came out when Pioneer was the dominant laser disc company. We talk bad princess etiquette, maniacal laughs, cute bugs, best cats, same sex relationships in the 90s, and being a functional alcoholic.

You can still find it on the secondary market. But RightStuf/Nozomi Entertainment will be re-releasing the set sometime in 2020.

On this episode Garrett and Han make their return to join Ed, Kate, and Dennis as they revisit another Leiji Matsumoto title, 1982's Captain Harlock: Arcadia of My Youth. Origins of Harlock, pirate radio frequencies, alliance changes, gene memories, and friendships that transcend time and space -- this film has a lot to unpack, and we try to make sense of it all! Thanks to returning guest Han for also joining us!

On this episode, Karen, Ed, Kate, and Dennis visit the made for TV 1990 anime movie Like the Clouds, Like the Wind. You think it's similar to the Prince and the Pauper set in ancient fantasy mainland Asia, but instead it turns Game of Thrones on us. And even though it might seem like it is an uncredited Studio Ghibli project, thanks to the sleuthing from Diana, we get down to the bottom of that error from so long ago. Yup, Diana also joins us near the end! We also talk ancient studying, Tamyun being the best girl, OG Mean Girls, and why boredom is dangerous.

On our final Gundam movie trilogy talk, Ed and Dennis are joined by Mike L over Discord to discuss Encounters in Space. Mike hasn't been on since Pom Poko, so it was a great chance to have him on again. Those missing epic battles from movie 2? Turns out they're all here in movie 3. We've also got suprise love squares, psychic battles and telepathy, horse back riding, fencing, betrayal after betrayal, and so much more regarding Newtypes. We think we're finally starting to understand them...maybe. Salute to the best ship names: Camel, Kwamel, and Swamel. Thanks to special guest Mike L (@HolySpacePug) for being on through Discord!

On this episode, we've got the a quartet of hosts in Ed, Karen, Kate, and Dennis discussing the second movie in the Gundam Movie Trilogy, Soldiers of Sorrow. Released just a few months after the first movie, the constant battles that White Base has endured begins taking its toll on the crew. Sayla, Amuro, and Kai become insubordinate. White Base security is non-existant. Fan favorite side characters have to die. Mirai shower scene? Won't someone think of the children!

On this episode, the club revisits one of main catalysts for anime mecha fandom and plastic model kit builders. That's right, we're going over Mobile Suit Gundam, at least in its movie trilogy format. Celebrating its 40th Anniversary, what better time to watch the one that started it all. Joining the hosts Dennis, Ed, Kate, and Karen, we have returning guest Mike, and brand new special guest Jet! Thanks to these two Gundam experts, we go over the first parts of the One Year War. From Amuro being a pro at reading the manual, figuring out what exactly Char is up to, Garma's fabulous hair, wondering why kids are on a battleship, and swooning over Matilda, let's go back to the year Universal Century 0079. Grab yourself a Gunpla kit, we're in the One Year War. Many thanks again to our special guests Mike and Jet (@jetspectacular) for being on!

On this episode, Dennis, Kate, Karen, and Garrett go over the 1984 pre-Ghibli founding classic Nausicaa of the Vally of the Wind. We discuss Yupa's all-around badassery, Nausicaa breaking standard princess archetypes, some Captain Planet and Metal Gear Solid references, and the return of special features talk thrown in for good measure.

On this episode, Ed, Kate, Dennis, and Karen have survived SDCC and have gathered to talk about a much more wholesome anime title, Kiki's Delivery Service. While we do take a moment to reflect on the tragedy of the Kyoto Animation fire, there are some places where you can donate to help those affected. Every little bit helps. After that, we discuss problems of growing up at age 13, how not to talk to girls, the kindness of strangers, red earrings on moms, Jiji being best cat, and lots and lots of bloomers.

On today's episode, special guest Byram returns to join Ed, Kate, and Dennis as we discuss 1973's Belladonna of Sadness. This film deals with a lot of heavy, mature themes, and is definitely not one for the kids to watch. So have a listen, and maybe don't make a deal with the devil.

On this episode, our original host trio of Ed, Kate, and Dennis go over the cult classic two episode OVA of Otaku no Video, an early Gainax release from 1991. Part fantastical history of Gainax, part parody of early 80s anime otaku culture, and a little bit of live-action mockumentary interviews with characters who maight be more famous than you think. This series delves into a lot: manga, anime, cosplay, doujin, model building, garage kits, ero-games, tapes, tape trading, animation cels, conventions, airsoft, turning fandom into business, and so much more. Are you ready to being the ultimate otaku, the Otaking?

On this episode, we go into our final batch of Slayers to discuss, with hosts Ed, Karen, Kate, and Dennis. After the briefest of E3 2019 talks, we still have to talk about anime after all. And since it's anime, how will Eris be defeated? How will Rezo be defeated (again)? And more importantly, how are our OTPs doing in this series? Find out this and more as we go over the final four episodes of Slayers season 1.

On this episode, Dennis, Kate, Karen, and Ed go over the penultimate batch of episodes for Slayers season 1, episodes 18 through 22. Rezo's back, and he's brought some friend; but our heroes get a new ally in Sylphiel. There's also new animal monsters, one of Vrumugun's secrets revealed, possibly the last match between Zangulus and Gourry, and the return of Zelgadis, this time with new dub voice.

On this episode, we go over what just might be the funniest batch of episodes in the first season of The Slayers. There's not one, but two marriage proposals to two different characters, potential inspiration for one of our favorite Avatar: The Last Airbender episodes, Team Rocket style antics of Zangulus and Vrumugun (or Z & V as we like to shorthand), and the problems with wanted posters. Featuring Ed, Karen, Dennis, and Kate.

On this post-Endgame episode, the crew goes over the next batch of episodes of Slayers season 1. Shabranigdo is defeated? And who are these new crazy characters? There's talk of out of character Lina, strong sense of Justice, Will Smith, and ghostbusting. Got a lot of thoughts about these episodes, but we promise, no tangent spoilers for Avengers and Game of Thrones.

On this episode, returning guests Sanjay and Rishon join Karen, Kate, Ed, and Dennis on this batch of Slayers episodes. After some sad news regarding the deaths of two manga titans, we go into the discussion of episodes 5-9. There's talk of one of the greatest anime characters ever in Noonsa, more of that time of the month, Gourry's family treasure, talks of all things red, and how badly can we butcher the name Shabranigdo. Now buy us some time as we cast a spell, because Dragon Slave takes a while. Koala!

On this episode, the convention crunch and con flu bug hits the club hard, as we're only able to gather three intrepid adventurers to discuss the 1995 classic anime series Slayers. Join Ed, Dennis, and Garrett as they discuss the first four episodes of season 1. Also with some deep dive talk in the intro segment regarding the Cowboy Bebop live action casting.

Hail and well met, fellow anime fans. The club once again gathers to talk old school anime, and we continue to discuss Record of Lodoss War OVAs. In part two, we go over the more meatier episodes with help from returning special guest Jill. We discuss some new character motivations, fantasy shipping, new characters, some animation discussion, and why almost everyone wants to either be or be with King Kashue.
