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

When in doubt, sleep in and have androids do the work. Especially if humanity is is threated by extinction via machines sent for our doom by space aliens. At least that seems to be the case for our latest episode!  We are talking about Yoko Taro's NieR: Automata, developed by PlatinumGames and published by Square Enix. We also talk about some other classic OSMcast topics like TV shows from Norway, manga, and Pokémon! And at the end, feelings. OSMnotesHope everyone enjoyed the episode! We also just want to take a moment and point out that A.) Our wonderful editor Anna is very good and she deserves all the praise one can give. B.) Basil really should make a list of things to say at the end so he never forgets that. C.) That the actual sequel to NieR: Automata is happening in Final Fantasy XIV and somehow we for got to mention that in this episode! Thankfully, we have a whole FFXIV podcast now we can mention that for next time...But until then, have some Time Cues!We start the OSMcasting – 0:00General Gabbing –

Hello Adventurers! We are once again canvasing memory lane, bringing you the back half of the dungeons of A Realm Reborn. From Patch 2.1 all the way to Patch 2.5. Let us regale you with times long past, back when these level 50 dungeons were once the height of difficulty! The heady salad days of Final Fantasy XIV dungeons where you would get three, three whole new dungeons to a patch! The good, the bad, and the puns that graced the required quests to open them, in this issue of the Carbuncle Chronicle. 

Hark! What's that,  you hear? The grand return of the OSMquest?! Forsooth! It IS!!! So here's the game. Sometimes, you feel like a skeleton. In a dungeon. And you get bored. So you go on a road trip. Some may call it... An adventure. Especially if you are playing the game Adventure Skeletons by Grant Howitt and Chris Taylor. Which... we were! You can find the game we played, and a whole bunch more, over at https://gshowitt.itch.io/!

Hello Adventurers! With Patch 5.3 still very much something on the horizon we decided dig way, way back: To the original relaunch of the game. Patch 2.0, or as we tend to call it now, ARR for A Realm Reborn! And from our digging, we found dungeons! A bunch of them! So for this issue of the Carbuncle Chronicle, we are tackling the first set of dungeons introduced in Patch 2.0. From Sastasha all the way to Amdapor Keep.

Ever think that maybe the world would be a better place if you just blew some daggum Mako Reactors? Well, Barret Wallace did and maybe he was on the right track. In fact he was right in 1997, and he was right today too. And now you can live that Barret Wallace life in full glorious HD thanks to the Final Fantasy VII Remake. Which by the by, is the what our new episode is all about! All two hours of it. Well, most of it, anyway!OSMnotesOK, well we all can't be cool like Barret and blow up Mako Reactors to save the planet. But we can all go to https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/ and find out other ways to help. And now, Time Cues: We start the OSMcasting – 0:00General Gabbing – 0:46Moments of OSM – 05:08City Hunter – 05:17She-Ra and the Princesses of Power – 08:29Ranma ½ - 12:32Somali and the Forest Spirit – 14:38Final Fantasy VII RemakeFinal Fantasy VII Remake, Sans Spoilers– 21:16Final Fantasy VII Remake, Full of Spoilers – 61:21Doug and Kevin discuss Final Fantasy VII relationships – 79:31Questions from Lis

Hello Adventurers! So the world outside is pretty dire, where frankly the Garleans are feeling like the lesser evil to real life right now. So if you need something to take your mind off things, we have got you covered. In this Issue of the Carbuncle Chronicle we turn back to clock to where we got started with the Final Fantasy series. And we reminisce on our journeys through MMOs till we reached Final Fantasy XIV. 

Remember back in the day, when you could throw a bunch of people into the same space together? Just bunch a people all grouped up into rooms, to be able to get some education? Yeah, it was a fairy tale then too. But maybe, just maybe, if you went to Greendale Community College you could learn a lesson. About life. Or, at least how TV shows work. This is the OSMcast! episode where we talk about the TV show Community, created by Dan Harmon.OSMnotesFirst things first, congrats to John and Mike for finally getting Twitch Affiliate for TheseAreVideoGames! Secondly, sure you should probably watch Community on Netflix, so they'll spend Netflix money on the hopefully eventual Community movie!Thirdly, MomoConline just wrapped up! I hope everyone enjoyed the virtual con experience. If you want to go back in time to relive those virtual memories, check out Momocon's YouTube page! We know that they are uploading panels from the weekend, which include some of ours! At least, until the copyright faeries take them away...Fo

Hello Adventurers! We have once again braved the wilds of Eorzea and Norvrandt to bring you latest in all things awesome in Final Fantasy XIV. Last time, we broke down the latest Liver Letter and got hyped for Patch 5.3. This time, we break down the latest event in game, starting today! It's the latest in the Itinerant Moogle series, where you can run old content, and get cool loot. 

It's a dog eat dog world out there! Or rather, a wolf eat rabbit world? At least a predator could eat prey world, expect that's looked down upon and really just a bad idea to do. At least that's the world of BEASTARS, the latest Netflix craze from the anime studio Orange based off the manga by Paru Itagaki. Which coincidentally, is the topic of this episode! Crazy how that works.  OSMnotesWatch BEASTARS! Read BEASTARS! Join the Third Impact Anime Discord, the unofficial official OSMcast Discord Because Basil is Lazy and Also Scared If We Had a Public OSMcast Discord No One Would Join.  Anyroad, also don't forget Momocon is doing online things all this month!

And now

Hello Adventurers! Warriors of Light Darkness! Welcome to the latest addition to the OSMcast! Family: The Carbuncle Chronicle, our dedicated Final Fantasy XIV podcast! Every other week, we're gonna tackle a different subject about FFXIV. In this episode, we cover the recently released Letter from the Producer LIVE from Naoki Yoshida and the FFXIV team. They talk about the impact that COVID-19 has had, causing development delays. They also read a wonderful letter from a doctor who plays FFXIV, and a preview of the eventual Patch 5.3: Reflections in Crystal. If you would like to read along with us chattering away, the dev team just released their text digest of the Live Letter!We hope you enjoyed this new podcast series! Next time, we're gonna talk about a more personal topic, about our experience with Final Fantasy and MMOs in general.

Our boy John is back with yet another amazing interview! This time, he sits down virtually with the wondrous Deva Marie. You may recognize her voice best as the role of Flayn, from Fire Emblem: Three Houses!OSMnotesWe want to thank Deva Marie once again for taking the time to chat with us! Anna probably put it best:Currently editing the interview @J5isLive did with @deva_marie for the @OSMcast and can I just say I love her? She sounds like such an awesome and sweet lady and someone I would love to hang out with!—

WELP. This has sure been a thing. You see, the OSMcast has always been a "folks in person in front of a microphone" kind of podcast. With world events being what they are, that wasn't gonna fly anymore. So we decided to try something new. Recording via the Internet. Which is very exciting!So, we tested our recording with asking, receiving, and now answering questions  from Listeners Like You! As well as some Moments of OSM. Hope you all enjoy!OSMnotesWe also want to give big props to our wondrous comrades in arms, Third Impact Anime! Not only are they an awesome podcast and blog in their own right, but they also host an outstanding Discord! Which everyone should join and talk anime and video games and other things with us. Also whenever Denpa puts out a book, just buy it! And as always, after the OSMnotes, are some Time Cues: We start the OSMcast!ing – 0:00General Gabbing - 0:35Moments of OSM – 3:06Animal Crossing: New Horizons - 3:16Behind the Curve; You Are Not So Smart - 9:42Code Geass: Lelouch of the Re;s

Oh, hello there! Fancy world we live in now. It's sure has had a lot of ups and downs lately! And what better way to make your way through it all, than to watch Ride Your Wave, by Science Saru, directed by Masaaki Yuasa? There isn't, so thankfully we have a podcast for you all about it! Also... other things.  OSMnotesSo yea! Of course, you can always hit up GKIDS Films' website for potential future theater viewings, although really you may be best off waiting for the home release.

So this past few weekends ago, Seishun Con happened. And it was fun! One of the fun things was yet another attempt at an OSMcast LIVE! show. This time, we planned on doing a podcast about Crusher Joe with our pals over at Akihabara Renditions. Only... Funny thing! Communication failed, and half of us did not watch Crusher Joe in time for this panel. So, this is the audio you get instead. Next time, a slightly more planned episode recorded at Seishun Con, along with our Tennessee compatriots. 

Whoa what's this craziness this is not the normal OSMcast?!? Nope this is a whole new OSMcast-produced thing, we're calling Touched by a Duelist! It's a new weekly, show where we are covering the anime series Touched and Yu-Gi-Oh!Touch being the baseball anime, based on the manga by Mitsuru Adachi, and Yu-Gi-Oh! being the card battling anime, based on the manga by Kazuki Takahashi.This episode we are covering the Touch episode 1, "No matter what everybody says, we're twins!!" And the Yu--Gi-Oh! episode 1, The Fearsome Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

Accidentally continuing on a spooky-ish track*, we are gathered tonight to release a podcast about demons! And slayers! Of, well, demons! It's an anime and manga called Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. The manga is by Koyoharu Gotouge, with the anime adaption by Ufotable.*Clearly you can tell by how echo-y it is. Because it's spooky, not because it was much a more open room this time or anything... OSMnotesAs of this recording, the anime is out there streaming courtesy of Aniplex. So you can find it on Crunchyroll, Funimation, and Hulu. The manga is released by Viz, and they can be bought via volumes either physically or digitally. Or, you can stream the volumes on your electronic device via their Shonen Jump Plus app. But while you are buffering, have some Time Cues: We start the OSMcasting – 00:00 General Gabbing - 00:32 Moments of OSM – 04:29Sexiled: My Sexist Party Leader Kicked Me Out, So I Teamed Up With a Mythical Sorceress!

Feeling up for something s̵̹̲̒͝p̸̥̔͂o̶̫̩͂o̸̦͋̓k̴͖̝̋̀y̷̘͌̿? Well we have the podcast for you! In the last of our Hamacon 10 podcasts, here is another OSMquest guest starring the Master of Decreepitude himself, Mr Creepy Pasta! Or is it MrCreepyPasta? Or Ḿ̷̻̳͉̞͑͝͝r̸̢͕̫̃̓̏C̴̘̀r̸̺͌̽̔e̴̤̎̍̀̎e̷͓͑̃̍p̴̝̟̽͜͝ý̶͖̬͖́́͜P̴̢͍̺̈́̾a̵̭͓̪̤̓̀š̵̖ṭ̸̄́̃a̵̯͎͌? Either way, we RPGed it up with him! Creepily. OSMnotesOh no, a cliffhanger?!? Sadly. sometimes you can't always get a full game into an interview slot. But what can you do? Invite the OSMcast and Mr Creepypasta to your next con! I dunno about the Creepmeister, but the OSMcast comes pretty cheap. The name of the game is The Beast, made by Grant Howitt. It is a game where you are monster hunter hunting the monsters. Somewhere in Eastern Europe, because that's where all the best monsters are. You can ask anyone, they will tell you this. Speaking of things you can do, you can find all of Grant’s wonderful games at https://gshowitt.itch.io/.

Sometimes, you get interviews at a con. But sometimes, you get them straight from the source. You get some of that good stuff. Fresh, uncut, farm to table, pure internet kind of interview. For this episode, our wonderful master interviewer John sat down with the amazing Dorothy Fahn.Lately, you may have heard her as the voice of Mercedes in Fire Emblem: Three Houses. But she has lent her voice to many characters, like Meryl Stryfe in Trigun, or Melody from the latest take of Hunter x Hunter. Or perhaps, all the Digimon? She's been a few (Lalamon, Sunflowmon, Lilamon, and Rosemon)!OSMnotes!We wanted to thank Dorothy for her time with us. It was our pleasure and we hope everyone enjoyed listening!
