Osmcast! Anime, Video Games, Interviews, And More!

If only France was actually this cool! Podcasting to be the very best, like no one ever was, the latest OSMcast! is all Nintendo’s and Game Freak’s latest duo of RPGs, Pokémon X. Oh, and also Y. For you see, as it turns out, Basil, Doug, and Kevin all ended up getting Pokémon X. So we brought in our buddy Barry to represent the Y. But not the Ys. That would be different game entirely. Still a pretty awesome one, though. HOWEVER, this episode is all about the awesomeness that is Pokémon X (and also Y). And whatever else we talked about! OSMnotes You can buy Pokémon X and Y pretty much anywhere video games are sold! 3DSes, too. You can also listen to only the most premium Pokémon raps via Shofu on YouTube. And the return of Time Cues , as provided by WinampRIP: We start the OSMcast!ing – 0:00 General Gabbing – 0:39 MOMENTS OF OSM –3:00 PlayStation 4- 3:17 Season of _Spoooorts: _Ace of Diamond – 7:35 Gundam Build Fighters – 10:50 How I Met Your Mother – 14:05 Kill La Kill – 19:30 The fact that there is m

Object- Oh you know what they are doing already! Tonight, on the OSMcast we plumb the depths and crack open the case of one Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies. A lawyer-esque video game for your 3DS Nintendo Portable Entertainment System. And by we, I mean Basil aka uh… Basil aka Ed Chavez fan #1 from said OSMcast as well as one Alain aka Hisui aka Saber fan #1 from the The Reverse Thieves blog as well as The Speakeasy podcast. But you should listen on as we share the dual destinies as guys who likes video games about being lawyers that can tackle even the greatest of yokai crazes! OSMnotes Later folks, later. Right now I (Basil) am about to be drug into some Dr. Who THING and who knows how this will turn out! I assume lots of flashy lights on sticks that people will SWEAR to me that they are screwdrivers. Even though they don’t have neither orange  juice OR vodka so what use are they?!

So with Hamacon’s Minicon going on this past Saturday (Which went very well thank you for asking!), we did not have a chance to record an OSMcast proper. However, we didn’t want to leave you hanging and as it just so happens… Basil was on the latest episode of the Chainsaw Buffet talking about GMX, Tennessee’s Geek Media Expo. Listen in on talks of Peggle! Awesome shojo-esque Kickstarters! How Basil reads books! AND SO MUCH MORE!

Yeah, I got nuthin. But chainsaws. Why hello there! Would you like a podcast? Because we have one! The  story of this podcast is thus: Basil was super busy and did not have to plan or assemble a normal OSMcast, and so enlisted the mightiest warriors from throughout the land. And ended up with John and Dylan from the Chainsaw Buffet. And as we had more Buffet than OSM this time, the podcast runs the gambit of wild and crazy things such as  TV shows, anime, table top gaming, and more. It’s a cornucopia of a scattershot of topics that will be sure  to please one and all. Or at least Hisui. OSMnotes LOOK YOU ARE LUCKY TO GET A PODCAST, ALRIGHT?! We’ll try to get some  time cues in here, but no promises.

AWA 2013 So here we are. A podcast about Anime Weekend Atlanta 2013. A podcast about Anime Weekend Atlanta 2013 with Basil and Kevin as well as Charlie and Dylan from the Chainsaw Buffet. A podcast about Anime Weekend Atlanta 2013 with Basil and Kevin as well as Charlie and Dylan from the Chainsaw Buffet where they talk about many things, from the sudden conventions growth, to food trucks, to what they did, panels that we were, lines that were long, fun that was had, some food trucks again, and just how big of a Carl Horn fanboy really is Basil, anyway? So in other words, it was a podcast about Anime Weekend Atlanta 2013. OSMnotes This was recorded on Sunday, edited all night on Monday, and released before we went to sleep. Therefore, no matter when you see this, or what the website may or may not say: We are calling this episode Up On Time. Throwing it up on the board. Claiming victory over defeat. Editing a photoshop file in our favor. This was the time it was ordained to be. Speaking of  time, here have s

Truly, a dashing entrance. “When what you want to do and ought to do are one and the same, you can hear the OSMcast_!_ speaking to you,” as they say. Well, they do when you when what you want- nay- OUGHT to do is listen to this latest podcast! This time we cover the show Star Driver, the anime created by the studio Bones, directed by Takuya Igarashi and written by Yōji Enokido. You know, as they say. And by they, I mean we. As  in the OSMcast! We say that. We also say a whole lot more!

Mmmm, cartoons! They are the best. So, you may have heard about this Korra cartoon THING that just had it’s second season opener and you may wonder if you should go back and catch the first season. But hey, if you ARE wondering that, well we have the answer for you! Short answer: Yes, of course you should. We even did an OSMcast all about it. Long answer: You listen to our latest episode that tells you all about it. That’s right here. You can just click about or download it or maybe you have done one of those things. In that case you should have already begun watching the first season. If you haven’t, I guess just  listen to the podcast again. TL;DR: This episode of the OSMcast is about The Legend of Korra: Book One, Air. It’s a pretty cool cartoon made by  Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino and a sequel to Avatar: the Last Aibender. You can go listen to us yap on about how cool we think it is. OSMnotes Firstly, here’s a link to the Blu-ray of the first season. Here’s a link to the DVD version. Seco

OTAKON 2013 AUGUST 9-10-11, 2013 Con season* is upon us again folks and this time the OSMcast went to one of the biggest anime cons of them all: Otakon! The anime con SO big the city it is in can barely contain it. And so big, the OSMcast alone could not handle it. Well, we probably could but we thought it would be fun to chat about the con with some friends. And what better friends could we have asked than Daryl and Gerald of the Anime World Order podcast!? True friends, you know the kind that make sure to get their burger orders right, so that nothing terrible can happen. … As you listen, you may discover that we may not be the best judge of character, at least with THAT criteria! But all that, and more, so much more on this episode of the OSMcast! OSMnotes Here is the Otakon 2013 mug. The Chi’s Sweet Home is used for scale. Sorry for the couple of days hiccup, folks! But things are back on track! We would once again like to  thank Otakon for their kindness and generosity for letting us cover their conven

Yikes, time moves forward what’s the deal with that. 5 years and change ago, three idiots with a microphone sat down and started talking into it. Then, they turned that microphone on. And plugged it into a computer. And conned a friend to edit the audio. And created a podcast. Today, those same idiots release their 100th full-featured episode. This the OSM100, where the OSMcast looks back to the eerie past of the five years ago, to today, and to the future. We thank you all for this most amazing and well, awesome ride, and thank you for  sticking with us for so long. Here’s to 100 more.

Sorry folks there are no more blockbusters now, this one took all the blocks. Well, when when we decided to podcast about monsters we created a monster podcast. Clocking in with 2 hours and change, the OSMcast returns with a rousing episode dedicated to Guillermo del Toro’s love letter all things giant, monster, and robot, the movie Pacific Rim. We also talk about comments and emails and things! BUT NOT ONLY THAT, we also dig into Shin Megami Tensei IV, Shadowrun Returns, Free!!, The Eccentric Family, and more. And by more we mean Overdrift, which will make more sense at the end than at  the beginning. So strap in and get ready to drift into some OSMcast~ OSMnotes SO GO SEE THIS MOVIE ALREADY OKAY thanks a bunch folks. As we said, Basil and Kevin will be at Otakon maybe we shall see you there! But at any rate, please feel free to send us comments, and emails, Facebook us, or whatever correspondence you like to send our way. We always appreciate it.

And when you see Micah at conventions, make sure you ask him for that Fresh Tokyo Smile. He’ll appreciate it! In a world where ALIENS live on EARTH and listen to podcasts that no HUMANS know about… That’s right in our latest episode of the OSMcast we are chatting about Studio Pierrot’s and David Production’s anime adaption of Yoshihiro Togashi’s Level E. We are joined by our fellows the Chainsaw Buffet as well as the man, the myth, the LEGEND (in our own minds) Micah Solusod. Who also happens to be the voice actor for the up and coming baseball player Yukitaka Tsutsui, and much like character is known for his Fresh Tokyo Smile. OSMnotes BUY IT. STREAM IT. STREAM IT SOME MORE. It’s Good Stuff™. One might even say…  OSMstuff. I mean, OSMstuff™. And once again, much thanks for Micah for coming on and chatting with  us this  year. You should immediately go read his webcomic Ties That Bind_ right now_. It’s also OSMstuff®©£¥¶™. Two updates on the correct updating schedule MY word what have we gotten ourselves int

Thanks a bunch for coming back to anime, Kunihiko Ikuhara. We appreciate it. In the latest, greatest, and most Fabulous Max episode of the OSMcast_!_ to date, we talk about all sorts of things. But by far the most important thing we talk about in this episode is all about Kunihiko Ikuhara’s (with studio Brain’s Base) latest project, Penguindrum. Or as the cool kids liked to call it, Mawaru Penguindrum. And we talk about it. A lot! You might even say we liked the show, or something. But probably not. It’s not like this show is over two hours long. Why would we ever do that?! Spoilers: You can totally say we like the show. OSMnotes As we mentioned during the podcast, Sentai Filmworks has released the show on Blu-ray and DVD and Amazon has it for $45-$35 a set at the moment. Which is a pretty awesome deal, befitting of an awesome show. Set 1 on Blu-ray | Set 2 on Blu-ray | Set 1 on DVD | Set 2 on DVD Unleash your walle- I’m sorry I can’t go through with that pun. but please check out Shaintar: Legends Unleashe

Hey folks this was a podcast re recorded last year at Hamacon 3 about Toonami with the Chainsaw guys and voice-over artist Micah Solusod. We had a lot of fun please listen also come to Hamacon 4 it’s in Huntsville this week it’s gonna be great and oh god our panels aren’t done what are we gonna do oh gooooodddd

Nao Yazawa This episode of the OSMcast! is one of those chances that when presented to you, you just have to take. It’s a truly rare thing to get to interview a creator of something that you love, and even rarer for it to be someone from another country. In this case, it was manga and and a manga creator from Japan. Specifically, we had the most wondrous opportunity to talk with Nao Yazawa, who has created such things as Wedding Peach, Nozomi, and most recently a series called Moon and Blood. We got to chat about her experience at cons, creating manga, and more. It was conducted at this year’s MTAC. Some may even know it as MTAC Devil’s Dozen. OSMnotes Once again, gigantic thanks for MTAC and Nao Yazawa for this opportunity to chat with her. While Wedding Peach is out of print, it’s currently not the hardest thing to track down. That said, Moon and Blood is very much in print, very shojo-riffic, and is a pretty enjoyable read. This is coming from Basil, who normally can tolerate vampire stuff only as Castlev

MTAC Devil’s Dozen March 29-31, 2013 It’s currently raining like mad out here in Alabama so what better time to curl up, grab a beverage of your choosing, and listen to us as we spin the yarn of MTAC 2013, aka MTAC Devil’s Dozen. The hopes, the dreams, the tribulations, the successes, and all the rest that this con brought to us, nay, the world. Including, not to the fault of the con, the worst panel we have ever, EVER been to! Listen in as Basil gets angrier than he ever does in life. And he works retail! As per Official OSMcast Guidelines, we are joined at the hip by the  Chainsaw Buffet podcast. OSMnotes MTAC’s next year is going to full of LOVE so that should prove interesting! Speaking of love, we are planning to release our interview with Nao Yazawa this upcoming Monday. As I think we mentioned during the podcast it was kinda split into two small segments and Basil is currently figuring how to best handle that. And after that, we’ll have a LONG LOST EPISODE brought forth from the year previous year. It

It’s like he’s pointing at himself! In tonight’s ACTION PACKED episode of the OSMcast!. we team up with the Chainsaw Buffet to interview one Mark Meer at Momocon 2013. You probably have heard him giving voice to the male half of everyone’s favorite Commander on the Citadel, Commander Shepard of Mass Effect*. As it turns out, he’s worked with BioWare for much longer than one might be aware! *Not that the OSMcast has liked the Mass Effect series of games or anything. OSMnotes We’d just like to thank Momocon and Mark Meer for letting him chat it up with us, even if all it did was make us wish we could have talked with him more! Also, hey did you see the new website? We have one! It’s looks all NEW. Unless this is your first time, in which case it probably looks all old. Or at least normal, I guess. Either way, welcome! If you haven’t checked us out lately, please peruse our Index of OSM, the archive of all our audio to date. As it turns out we have been running on and on for five years and you tend to accumulat

Momocon 2013 What the- A podcast posted by the OSMcast! about a con that is more recent than a year ago, perhaps even posted within the  month it actually OCCURRED  in?! Could… we be actually getting our act  together!? Maybe! Although really it’s with the help of the wonderful, gallant, and lovely gents from the Chainsaw Buffet, our ever awesome OSM compadres from the land of the North (of Alabama, in Tennessee). Once more, we have teamed  up our forces to bring you the tales of derring-do! This time, we have dared Momocon: Atlanta’s Anime, Animation, and Gaming Convention. And we have returned to audio spin those yarns! OSMnotes Speaking of cons, we will be heading out this weekend to the Middle Tennessee Anime Convention, or you know, MTAC. As is his want, Basil will be hosting some panels at the con! They are: Even More Manga You Need to BUY RIGHT NOW (Friday 10 AM, Fan Panel 2) Manga, the world of Japanese comics. There used to be an absolute ton of these things on the market, but times are changing and

MTAC Omega. Another world, another time. And our first actual episode of 2013! Recorded in 2012! It is the interview we had with some of the wonderful people that run MTAC we recorded on site last year. Sadly the file is the most tsun tsun file we have ever had and as such is mostly unedited. But the staff we got to talk to are anything but dere as they tell us all sorts of things about last MTAC and this upcoming MTAC. Which you should totally go to. To MTAC. Go to MTAC. Also Momocon.

Welcome to 2013! The usher in this bold new year, we decided to run content that we were in as an update so you know that we are not quite yet out of the game. And by we, I mean Kevin. He joined up with the Chainsaw Buffet guys at this past GMX to talk to “That Guy With The Glasses” himself, Doug Walker, to talk about his past, present, and upcoming projects. Or so UNDERSCORE JOHNNY GO claims. Next week, something no one HAS EVER HEARD OF BEFORE!!!!!!!!!

Geek Media Expo Volume Number Four It’s Catch Up Week* here at the OSMcast where we realize that the Chainsaw Buffet guys posted audio we were in and so we should PROBABLY post that up as well. So for today’s** Catch Up we have got for you the greatest GMX Vol. 4 topic-ed podcats a podcast could podcast about in a podcast. Basil and Kevin from the OSMcast throw down with John, Charlie, and Dylan-chan* from the Chainsaw Buffet to rap about all things GMX Volumed The Fourth. The guests, the events, the DENZELS, and all the rest, here on OSMbuffet Isle! *Actually it’s just today. **We posted both Catch Ups today. *** OSMnotes I thought we should point out that the Chainsaw guys are celebrating their FIFTH BIRTHDAY this year and and now that they enter  their Fabulous Fives we hope that they continue on in epic fashion. While at GMX, they filmed several of us recording some of our most loved memories from their fives years of existence, in a documentary that is all 100 percent true and factual. It’s in three par
