Galaxy Express 999 The Movie05 Jul 202302:54:48

All aboard, anime fans! Join us as we punch our ticket to space adventure, science fantasy, and beautiful melancholy. Listener, you're on a one way train to a three hour discussion of 1979's Galaxy Express 999 The Movie! We talk about Leiji Matsumoto, the Leijiverse, Rintaro, and some of the notable seiyuu. We discuss Maetel, Tetsuro, Emeraldas, Harlock, and all your favorites. We get into this film as a story about class struggle, Matsumoto's depictions of women, and how certain scenes affected us now that the original creator of the Leijiverse is sadly no longer with us.

Bonus Episode - Final Fantasy VII Chat feat. Emily Rand19 Mar 202001:33:48

The Final Fantasy VII Remake launch is only weeks away, so in this bonus  episode of Warui Deshou Shadon and returning special guest Emily Rand  take some time to banter about a game they both have fond memories of,  covering the ever increasing relevance of the game's story and themes,  Palmer getting hit by a truck, the design and inclusion of optional  dungeons and structured loot, an examination of Cloud's mental breakdown  and of course, Barret uppercutting Biggs into the ceiling.

Emily wrote a fantastic article on her first impressions of the Final Fantasy VII Remake which you can find here: https://www.espn.com/esports/story/_/id/28823744/first-impressions-final-fantasy-vii-remake

Follow  Emily on Twitter at @leagueofemily for League of Legends/e-sports  related content and @AJTheFourth for anime related content!

Her (2013)05 Aug 202202:47:57

After some delays, we're back to talk about Spike Jonze' film "Her" from 2013! Shadon enjoyed this film back when it was released, but he wanted to revisit it now, almost a decade later, to see how it held up. We discuss the film's relevance in 2022, its core message about learning how to love others well, if anything about it would be made differently in 2022, its depiction of societal change in the wake of radical new technology, if the film sufficiently establishes Samantha's humanity, which app we'd like to fall in love with, and much more!

The 2010s: A Decade In Anime (FIXED AUDIO)13 Feb 202003:20:55

It's our decade-in-review podcast! We wanted to accomplish a couple of different things with this one: (a) reflect broadly on the decade as a whole rather than just doing another top ten list and (b) feature a variety of perspectives from all sorts of folks in order to better accomplish (a). We feel we've succeeded!

Audio issues from the last version should be resolved. Please let us know if there are others.

Doc plays MC asking 12 questions about the decade in anime to a whole passel of Friends Of The Pod including:
- Alexander Smit
- Danny & K
- David Majors
- Emily Rand
- Grant The Thief
- James Beckett

Huge thanks to all of these wonderful friends for helping make this podcast special. Give them all a follow, a listen, a read, etc. Special thanks to Anime82's Regan Strongblood for the idea for this format.

Here are the questions along with time codes:

  1. Introduce yourself/yourselves! Talk about what you do and where to find your work online. - 00:01:34
  2. When you look back over the decade, what do you think were the most significant trends in anime (the content, not the industry)? Were these positive, negative, or a mix? - 00:06:02
  3. What, beyond the trends, do you think has defined anime of this decade? - 00:25:53
  4. In terms of the quality of anime content, are the 2010s better or worse than previous decades? - 00:37:44
  5. How has the way you consume anime changed over the decade? Are there any unintended drawbacks you’ve found to these changes? - 00:49:04
  6. What are the most significant changes you’ve observed in anime fandom (domestic or foreign, whichever you know best) over the decade? - 01:06:51
  7. Do you think these changes have lead to an overall better fan experience? - 01:27:07
  8. What was the anime industry’s (domestic or foreign, whichever you prefer) highest high and lowest low of the decade? - 01:35:03
  9. Do you find yourself more or less excited about anime now than ten years ago? If you haven’t been a fan for ten years, than now versus when you began. - 01:54:56
  10. What individual creator or creative team do you think really put their stamp on this decade? - 02:06:14
  11. What is your favorite anime that came out this year? Gush about how great it is. - 02:22:51
  12. Did this decade produce any of your all-time favorite anime? Which and why do you love it/them? - 02:37:15

Kino's Journey, Evangelion & Arguments About Collective Consciousness03 Feb 202000:24:49

It's Doc's first patron request audio essay! And...it's become a  multi-part series! In setting out to review Kino's Journey, Doc realized  there was so much in the very first episode, that he had to make a  thing about just that. At the time, he had Evangelion on the brain as  well, and this is the result!

This is our third and final Christmas Ghibli of 2019! We hope you’ve  enjoyed this series, as doing it has been an absolute blast. As usual,  Doc & Shadon sit down and discuss their thoughts on a Ghibli for two  and a half hours. It’s a good time!

We talk about the creatives involved with the movie, mostly Hayao  Miyazaki this time out. We gathered up some interesting quotes and fun  anecdotes to share. Then, we move on to praise the Joe Hisaishi and the  music, the English dub penned by Neil Gaiman, characters Ashitaka and  Lady Eboshi, empathy, villains, living in our present, compromised  reality, and many many more topics.

Burning (2018)01 Jun 202203:08:43

We are discussing one of the best films, Korean or otherwise, made in recent years, Lee Chang-dong's "Burning." In fact, this is Doc's favorite movie! "Burning" is an adaptation of Haruki Murakami's short story, "Barn Burning" (itself an adaptation of sorts of William Faulkner's short story of the same name) and features incredible performances from Yoo Ah-in, Jeon Jong-seo, and Stephen Yeun.

There is a lot of ground to try to cover in this discussion. We tackle the movie's focus on class and wealth divides, what it says about creative individuals and the creative process, reality vs unreality of certain elements of the film and what those possible conclusions mean for the film as a whole as well as its individual elements, and so so much more. All of this discussion is near, very very near...all you have to do is press play!

Christmas Ghibli #2 The Tale of Princess Kaguya21 Dec 201902:37:28

Support us at: https://www.patreon.com/waruideshou

Hello everyone! It’s round two of our Christmas Ghibli’s with The  Tale of Princess Kaguya, a much more recent entry into their filmography  with a number of substantial differences in it’s production and time of  release, but nonetheless leaving quite a mark on myself and Doc.

Myself and Doc are hardly experts on, well, anything, so we find a  certain trepidation in covering Ghibli works given the abundance of  critical literature on them, and Kaguya is no exception as one of their  most recent works. Nonetheless, we march on and talk at length about the  film’s production and background before tackling the film’s themes and  ideas on identity, roles, the defiance of simply living and much more!

Happy Holidays to all of our wonderful Patrons who make these podcasts possible. You’re all awesome!

Christmas Ghibli #1 – Laputa: Castle In The Sky18 Dec 201902:36:04

Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/waruideshou

Welcome to the first episode of the first ever Christmas Ghiblis!  We’re so excited to share our love and admiration for this studio, these  creators and these films with all of you. We subconsciously associate  the holiday season with these movies in our minds, so this felt like the  right time to do these episodes. Creating something like the Christmas  Ghiblis felt a bit intimidating, as we are far from experts. However, in  addition to our cursory research, we also bring to the table our own  unique emotional experiences with the films, and we believe these are  valuable in their own right, as well as entertaining.

Doc and Shadon deep dive into the first film produced under the  Studio Ghibli name, Laputa: Castle In The Sky. We talk about creators  Hayao Miyazaki, Toshio Suzuki, and Joe Hisaishi, and what these guys  have to say about the film. We also discuss what we think the film’s  core themes to be such as: humanity’s sense of discovery, a turn to the  post-modern, the moral ambiguity of technology, believing in order to  understand, hiddenness, and more! Enjoy, and happy holidays!
