For the tenth time, it’s our annual trivia episode! We are joined by Basil, head honcho of the OSMcast as well as The Carbuncle Chronicle and OSMquest podcasts who’s been doing this for just about as long as we have. Basil has been doing this for about as long as us and is from our same fandom generation, though he’s got more experience on camera as our Patreon supporters at the $5 and up tiers were able to see during the live recording which was held about a week ago.
Introduction (0:00 – 18:20)
We talk to Basil about how he became an anime fan and what inspired him to start podcasting, while also going over his contributions to anime conventions in the Southeastern United States which are numerous enough that we couldn’t get into them all.
Trivia Round One (18:20 – 1:18:22)
The carnage commences! Yell in frustration as we are unable to identify famous anime catgirls, are asked questions about animals in which not one single person says “call me YOON-kers!”, and have to remember anime by their OP/ED song titles…to limited success.
Trivia Round Two (1:18:22 – 2:11:11)
This one’s got a music category aka the sort of thing that would prevent us from posting this to YouTube and the like. We’ve also got to identify titles whose international titles don’t necessarily align to what a translation of their Japanese titles are, aka “absolute anathema to adherent users of MyAnimeList.” There was going to be another round of Anime Family Feud, but regrettably Basil actually had family committments over the weekend and could not simply sit around all day and talk about vague memories of cartoons. There’s always next year, I guess!
