Ani-gamers Podcast

Somehow David and Evan manage to spend another half hour talking about Fallout: New Vegas and Final Fantasy, but after that the hosts discuss the removal of some controversial Fire Emblem: Fates features in the English version, Evan shames David for being an idol-liker, and they both trade thoughts on the Shuzo Oshimi manga Inside Mari. Topics include bangin' mini-games, literal objectification in idol games, and our favorite anime VHS tapes. Send us feedback at podcast@anigamers.com!

Despite our assurances that this would be a short episode, it still ended up being nearly 50 minutes long! Some of that is spent discussing timely anime subjects like Erased, Lupin III, and Dagashi Kashi, but there's also some video game talk (more Fallout and Final Fantasy) and then a bunch of gaming-centric listener questions. Topics include "possibly one of the worst anime seasons in recent memory," ill-advised compilation albums, and the glory of Robert E. O. Speedwagon. Send us feedback at podcast@anigamers.com!

We're back in our first episode of 2016 with a mix of light novels (Kizumonogatari), video games (Fallout: New Vegas and Final Fantasy VI), and anime (The Perfect Insider). Topics include the anime-only lifestyle, embarrassing Zelda confessions, and the best damn OP animation of 2015. Listen until the end for a Kizumonogatari giveaway!

To make up for last episode's audio issues, we recorded a slightly longer one this time, featuring a bunch of video game talk (including more Battlefront) and, yes, anime. Topics include banging the wrong person, Metal Gear Solid references, the moneymaking power of Anime Lesbians, and anime burnout. Send us feedback at podcast@anigamers.com!

We promised a new episode every two weeks, so, uh, please don't be angry that this episode is a little messed up. Audacity skipped every couple of seconds for most of the recording, but Evan scavenged what he could. In what's left of the episode, David and Evan discuss hilariously long Fallout: New Vegas quests, melodramatic crying in the AnoHana live-action drama, and a tiny bit of Star Wars: Battlefront (you'll need to buy the DLC for our full opinions).

Would you look at that, we hit 50 episodes! It only took us... seven years! To celebrate, we're aiming to put out episodes more regularly, though if you've been listening long enough you know to never trust any Ani-Gamers Podcast-related promise. This time David and Evan sit down to talk about what they've been up to lately, which includes being behind on the Fallout series, disappointed in Ninja Slayer, and confused by the new Ghost in the Shell movie.

Evan flew back East for AnimeNEXT this year, and he figured he'd mark the occasion with a now-rare treat: an actual podcast episode. Our guests include a bunch of super-cool folks you may recognize: Ani-Gamers' own Ink (@AnimatedInk), Anime News Network writer and prolific con panelist Mike Toole (@MichaelToole), longtime translator Neil Nadelman (@docsane), and returning podcast guest Patrick (@PatzPrime) from The Cockpit. Topics include: cool '80s anime Future Police Urashiman, Studio TRIGGER guests, English-speaking Japanese animator Aya Suzuki, the inherent superiority of East Coast anime con panels, and "ancient" anime conventions from before the year 2010. We tried recording this using two different portable recorders, and we think it came out pretty listenable. Show notes and links after the break. Send us feedback at podcast@anigamers.com!

After being a guest on Mike Toole (@MichaelToole)'s "Writing About Anime for Fun and Profit" panel at Otakon 2014, I hosted a similar panel at tiny college con Anime Destiny back in December. The guests are Nate Ming from Crunchyroll News and the Crunchyroll Newsletter and YouTuber Nick Robinson (@Babylonian), formerly of Revision3/Fandom Beat, Anime Vice, and Unwinnable. Topics include how to get noticed, our inspirations, and the importance of puns. Yes this podcast took forever to come out, but if it makes you feel better, it only took me a couple days to edit it and release it once I got my hands on the file.

We didn't do any E3 coverage on the blog this year, but seeing as Evan is now rooming with former Ani-Gamers Podcast co-host Mitch Dyer (a.k.a. @MitchyD), he figured "why not get Mitch on to talk about E3?" Topics include Nintendo goggles, the "difficulty" of adding women to video games, space simulation games both real (No Man's Sky) and vapor (Infinity), and Smash Bros: MUGEN Edition.

Evan's not flying back to New Jersey for AnimeNEXT, but he did attend FanimeCon 2014 in San Jose, CA. In this podcast, recorded on the fourth and final day of Fanime, Evan sits down with his Crunchyroll coworkers and arch-frenemies, Victoria Holden (@SailorBee) and Danika Harrod (@DarlingDaniChan) and cosplay photographer Ben Lam to talk about the con. Topics include Kill la Kill cosplay, Anime Hell, anime triathlons, and the "flipping off Evan" meme. This podcast was recorded in a hotel lobby, so the audio has a lot of background noise. Sorry!

It's been three months, but we're back! This time Evan and David talk about anime that's just old enough that you no longer care enough to be angry about it and video games so old you don't even remember them anymore. Topics include Super Sonico, Nidhog, Mother (the original, not Earthbound), Cardcaptor Sakura, Inside Mari, being a tourist in Japan, being a BAD tourist in Japan, Japanese food, and oddly-specific otaku stores.

In this episode (our THIRD episode this year — crazy, huh?), Evan, Ink, and David chat about some anime and video games that they've been watching and playing, including the Fall 2013 anime season! Topics include failed superheroes, poorly timed apocalypse stories, interminable space brotherhoods, hyperactive tennis clubs, magical glasses, fascist high schools, frog rappers, and the profound pain of game development. We talk about Kill la Kill for a while, so that's kind of the main topic of this show. Send us feedback at podcast@anigamers.com!

In this episode we make the mistake of trying to record a podcast in a moving car! Evan and Ink, exhausted from a weekend at Otakon 2013 talk about the ups and downs of the convention with Vinnie (http://www.allgeeksconsidered.com) and Vince Averello. The audio quality isn't great, but for a podcast recorded on a portable recorder in a car, I think we did a damn good job. Send us feedback at podcast@anigamers.com!
