Vintage Anime Club Podcast
A group of friends, a disc of anime, a bottle of wine...better make it two. We're an anime podcast taking a look back at some older anime titles on physical media, and seeing if they still hold up or not. Sometimes time lets us appreciate overlooked titles, while other instances require us to remove those rose-tinted glasses. So grab a glass of wine and have a listen.

Episode 212 - Swordcery (Wrath of the Ninja: The Yotoden Movie)
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 Year of Tensho 1:34:28 - Voices, Final Thoughts, & Kanpai While out of print, used copies of Wrath of the Ninja are available at various online stores, but you can support the show by also renting/buying it from Prime Video: https://amzn.to/4dSgzZu Dennis: | Ed: | Karen: | Sam: | |

Episode 211 - Sponsored by Supovitan C (Assemble Insert)
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 - Intro & Some Anime News 0:06:53 - The Watchlist 0:32:32 - Production Notes 0:39:14 - EP1: Part 1 1:17:22 - EP2: Part 2 1:54:34 - Voices, Final Thoughts, & Kanpai Unfortunately, Assemble Insert is currently out of print, but you can still support the show by donating to our Ko-Fi link below.

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.

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.

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.
