Vintage Anime Club Podcast
On this episode, join Garrett, Ed, Kate, & Dennis for a City Hunter Double Feature! We're talking about Bay City Wars along with Million Dollar Conspiracy. Both feature CIA agents, and both feature a lot of Ryo Saeba shenanigans. The bullets are flying, bombs are exploding, Ryo is perving, and Kaori is trying her best to keep him in check.

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 -...

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...
