On this episode we have Diana, Ed, Karen, Kate, Dennis, and the return of Sam to discuss the first Urusei Yatsura movie Only You, released in 1983. Based on Rumiko Takahashi's first serialized manga, and the feature length directorial debut for Mamoru Oshii, we see glimpses of story, design, and direction in their more globally known works that we're more familiar with. We can't help but bring up some Ranma comparisons, why Ataru is surrounded by all the ladies, weird alien customs, one of anime's earliest himbos, Wedding Crashers, and puns for days. CW: We also discuss briefly about the scandal with the writer for Shonen Jump's Act-Age manga in our news section. Urusei Yatsura: Only You is out of print on DVD and not available on Blu-ray yet, but Discotek does have plans to re-release it soon.

On this episode, we're going back to the fun, fantasy anime universe with Slayers season 2, more commonly known as Slayers Next!

| Episode 94 - Count Erfeit (Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro) | 03 Apr 2020 | 03:14:25 | |
Hope everyone is being safe out there. On this episode, the club gets together online again to discuss Miyazaki's first ever directed feature, Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro. This 1979 film was made by a bunch of people who would eventually make up the early core of Studio Ghibli. So it's a Ghibli film in spirit, but not technically a Ghibli film. We go over some of the reception to Lupin's portrayal, some differences in the Streamline version that's on Netflix, Lupin's age, old currency, extreme Home Alone, and so much more. Hope you have enough wine with you to enjoy this one, because it's a long one. And don't forget to wash your hands!

On this episode, join Dennis, Ed, Karen, & Kate as we return to the world of Slayers with 1997's Slayers Try. It's been roughly four years since we last covered Slayers Next, and the fans voted for this one after our ALA panel. New season, new allies, and new baddies. Talking points include who's that Pokemon, going from Star Wars to Dune, something about a Dark Star, sneaking around, and a fox man with a cockney accent. 0:00:00 - Intro & Winter 2024 Anime Rundown Unfortunately, Slayers Try is currently out of print, but you can still support the show by donating to our Ko-Fi link below.

| Episode 93 - Transporter Kenshiro (Riding Bean) | 19 Mar 2020 | 01:49:21 | |
With self-quarantining and social distancing well underway, we scrap our initial choice for this episode to one that we can all stream legally and discuss over Discord. So instead of Garzey's Wing, club members Dennis, Ed, Kate, and Karen discuss 1989's Riding Bean from Kenichi Sonoda. We're revisiting Chicago in an anime again! There's exciting car chase sequences, a tricked out super car, Mission Impossible style disguises, a different looking Rally Vincent, what is and isn't bulletproof, and some major gaslighting.

On this episode, the crew goes extra long after a corrupted hard drive loses the first half of our Gundam 0080 talk. So instead, Dennis, Ed, Karen, Kate, and returning guest Jet discuss all 6 episodes of War in the Pocket. We discuss Al's super powers of marathon running, terrible trade skills, Chris being the best girl next door, Garcia and Mikhail's dub accents, crocodile tears, and bad Federation policies. So grab yourself a hamburger, because daddy's coming home for Christmas. Special thanks to returning guest Jet!

| Episode 91 - She's Got a Gun-nife (Gunsmith Cats) | 06 Feb 2020 | 02:50:59 | |
On this episode the crew goes over the 1995 OVA series Gunsmith Cats, from Kenichi Sonoda. Action, thrills, excitement -- all in the classic anime setting of...Chicago? Hope you like action and fast cars. Where have we heard that tagline before? We discuss May's psyche, the picturesque look of the city, searching for a private yacht club in South Michigan, and why is Rally allowed to be so heavily armed as a private citizen. Featuring the voices of Dennis, Ed, Karen, Kate, and Garrett. Gunsmith Cats is currently available to purchase through Animeigo's website.

| Episode 90 - Anime, Drugs, and Rock N' Roll (On Your Mark) | 23 Jan 2020 | 01:49:56 | |
On this episode, we have more than a full clubhouse to discuss the animated short video of On Your Mark, with music by Chage & Aska and animation by Studio Ghibli from 1995. Diana, Ed, Kate, Dennis, Karen, Garrett, and Sam are joined by special guest Eron, making his first actual episode appearance (he was on the Project A-Ko Facebook Live we did on New Years Eve). There's a brief history on the super duo CHAGE & ASKA, trying to explain what went on in the music video visuals, some inspirations behind Miyazaki's imagery, and surprisingly so much more than what would be your normal music video discussion. Thanks to special guest Eron (@eronrauch) for joining us on this episode! On Your Mark is not available for purchase in North America, but you can officially own it in the Studio Ghibli Short Film Collection that was released in July of 2019.

| Episode 89 - Big Bad Beetleborgs (El-Hazard: The Magnificent World 3 of 3) | 19 Dec 2019 | 02:06:59 | |
On our last episode for 2019, the club gets together one more time this year to discuss the last two episodes of El-Hazard: The Magnificent World. While we all knew how things would ultimately play out, it was more about the reveals and repercussions. What is Fatora actually like? Will we know more about the Phantom Tribe? How do Nanami and Shayla Shayla feel about Ifurita? How will all this timey-wimey nonsense resolve itself? Featuring the voices of Dennis, Ed, Karen, Kate, and Garrett. Also stick around for an extended post episode stinger. Before we go over this episode's wine pairings, we also discuss our favorite anime titles of 2019.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

| Episode 80 - Gig Economy Woes (Kiki's Delivery Service) | 01 Aug 2019 | 02:17:07 | |
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.

| Episode 79 - Devil is in the Details (Belladonna of Sadness) | 18 Jul 2019 | 01:37:57 | |
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.

Rezo's back, and he's brought some friend; but our heroes get a new ally in Sylphiel.

| Episode 75 - Unexpected Proposals (Slayers 4 of 6) | 23 May 2019 | 01:48:50 | |
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.

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 of the podcast, the Club welcomes a new, special guest Michelle, as we go over the first four episodes of the 1990 OVA series Record of Lodoss War. After our special guest interview, we cover the gamut with high fantasy talk. There's everything from board games, books, movies, and even other anime. We also discuss how hard it must be to start a tabletop character at level one, who actually gets credit for the monster kill, what character class is Deedlit, dwarf-elf antagonistic relationships, and just what is Parn's potential that everyone says they keep seeing.

| Episode 68 - Short for Gallita (Battle Angel) | 07 Feb 2019 | 02:19:35 | |
On this episode, the club gathers to discuss the 1993 OVA, Battle Angel. Or more commonly known by the Western manga release as Battle Angel Alita. But, it's originally known as Gunnm in Japan. All of this of course, because we wanted to discuss this before the theatrical release of Alita: Battle Angel, the live action adaptation. Confused yet? Good. We go over just a bit of the manga/anime name differences, other similarities to Dr. Ido, awkward cuts, brain lasers, cyborg feelings, and bad Super Mario skills.

After going over Samantha's anime origins, we go deep into the movie discussion. There's the standard Ranma points of someone looking for a bride, cursed water, and martial arts everything.

Happy 2019! For the first episodes of the year, we finally dip into the long running series Ranma 1/2 by going over the first two movies. First up, Dennis, Ed, Kate, and Karen talk movie 1, originally known in North America as Big Trouble in Nekonron, China; but also known with the actual subtitle The Battle of Nekonron: The Fight to Break the Rules. We talk all the Ranma tropes from the TV series, bad dietary practices, winning one's hand for marriage, the will they/won't they Ranma and Akane relationship, and whether or not this is a good intro for someone unfamiliar with the Ranma mythos.

On this episode, join hosts Ed, Karen, Kate, Garrett, & Dennis as we discuss the 1998 OVA series Kite, also known as A Kite in Japan. Is this hentai or not? There's a lot of tough subject matter to discuss in this one, so this episode is not for everyone. But between the sex and the violence, is there enough in this revenge story that has garnered praise from some noteworthy Hollywood film makers along with inspiring a No Doubt music video? Let's find out more about our young assassins. 0:00:00 - Intro & News Support the show by donating to our Ko-Fi link below as Kite is currently out of print on DVD and Blu-ray.

My Goddess: The Movie, which originally premiered in 2000. Knowing of the issues some of us had with the Oh! My Goddess OVA discussion, we see if anything changes our opinion for the movie sequel. We also discuss creepy teacher/student relationships, the abundance of goddesses, who are all these new characters, and the power of love. Thank you all for listening and joining us this year.

Some fun things we talk about: the West Wind is still bad, hazing cats, magical flutes, Kaloo-cuckoo, Tyrannosaurus Solo Cup, and the worst castle building materials. And Bryan eventually gets Kuruku's name correct. Or is it Kukuruku? Thanks to special guest Bryan Newton for joining in.

On this episode, Karen, Ed, Dennis, and Kate help you relive some of your supposed repressed childhood memories as we go over 1981's The Fantastic Adventures of Unico. How could an adorable baby unicorn cause so much trauma? Osamu Tezuka, that's how.
