Vintage Anime Club Podcast
On this episode of the podcast, join Ed, Sam, Dennis, & Karen for their discussion about 1989's Wrath of the Ninja: The Yotoden Movie. It's actually a compilation film based on a three episode OVA series. Talking points include how three ninjas come together, ninja names might be hard to remember but ninja powers aren't, Nobunaga's anti-Buddha stance, crossing the streams, and comparing this to Ninja Scrolll but in a good way. 0:00:00 - Intro & Some Anime News 0:15:52 - The Watchlist 0:32:47 - Production Notes 0:40:53 - 08th Year of Tensho 1:00:43 - 09th Year of Tensho 1:13:30 - 10th...

Episode 211 - Sponsored by Supovitan C (Assemble Insert)
Vintage Anime Club Podcast
On this episode, join club hosts Dennis, Ed, Kate, Karen, and returning host Caitlin to discuss 1989's Assemble Insert! Only one thing can stop this mecha gang from wrecking Tokyo: super strong idol singer Maron Namikaze, that's who. See her rise to the top of the charts and her fanbase's hearts. Just watch your surroundings, because there's a lot of collateral damage in this one. It's enough paperwork and phone call complaints to make the chief cry. But as long as there's a nearby video rental store and a morning pick-me-up energy drink, the Anti-Demon Seed brigade is on the case. 0:00:00 -...

Episode 209 - El Ponyo Loco (Ponyo)
Vintage Anime Club Podcast
It's our ninth anniversary! And on this episode, join Dennis, Ed, Garrett, Karen, & Kate as we return to the world of Studio Ghibli with Ponyo. It's a literal fish out of water story, with the most cutesy imagery for an apocalypse, and perhaps the coolest Ghibli mom. So put those elixers away, because that's what crabs crave. And hit up that deli counter, because Ponyo wants all of the ham. 0:00:00 - Intro & Some Anime News 0:12:06 - The Watchlist 0:37:50 - Production Notes 0:50:46 - Ponyo the Goldfish 1:19:50 - Ponyo the Human 1:52:03 - Sousuke's Trial 2:20:02 - Voices, Final...

Getting closer to the finale, come join Dennis, Diana, Ed, Karen, & Kate for more Fushigi Yûgi, covering episodes 40-43. Miaka's dream school scenario turns into a recurring nightmare, we've lost track of how many times Miaka & Tamahome have broken up, there's new Byakko Warriors, another Boshi Boy (no relation to Flute-aboshi or Rope-aboshi), and giant insect monsters. And just when you thought he couldn't, Nakago gets even creepier. Also, we talk abou the new Gundam GQuuuuuuX film at the beginning of the show with chapter time stamps, so feel free to skip that chapter if you did...

Vintage Anime Club Podcast
On this episode, join Ed, Garrett, Karen, Kate, & Dennis for more adventures in The Universe of the Four Gods with our Fushigi Yûgi recap of episodes 36-39. We've reached one of the lowest points for Miaka, and most of the Suzaku Warriors aren't even around! There's so much running away, a couple of big truth bombs, more Street Fighter II homages, and more shells than you can shake a stick at. You are about to enter another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a perilous land of illusions. Next stop, the Tomo Zone. 0:00:00 - Intro & Some...

Before they founded Gainax, these two amateur animation shorts are still inspiring folks in the industry today after more than 40 years. Fandom crossovers and cameos, galore. It's the first anime bunny girl committed to film. And if you haven't heard ELO's "Twilight" yet, do yourself a favor and stream it. Still a banger.
