For the final episode of 2013, here’s the third and final installment in which Gerald and Daryl answer another batch of Anime82?s questions.

04:48 – Are there any anime titles on your “to-do” list you are embarassed to admit you have yet to watch?

10:28 – What’s your favorite Ghibli title and what’s your least favorite?

14:00 – English dubbing is less common these days, but how do you compare early dubs to more contemporary ones?

22:49 – Are you reading any manga? If so, what’s the last manga title you’ve read?

28:58 – What’s an anime title the listeners might have forgotten about? Remind us.

33:53 – What’s a newer anime that you feel has taken real creative risks?

38:16 – Do you feel your passion for anime is not what it once was? [I think we semi-misanswered this, as it was relative to non-anime cartoons gaining strong fanbases. Gerald and Clarissa certainly have a strong affinity for Flash animations about baby horsies and French MMOs.]

41:58 – Please ask your fellow podcasters a question. Do you have a question to ask us? Can you also answer it?

Here’s the second of three parts in which we answer another batch of Anime82’s questions.

Below is an approximation of said questions along with a timecode:

4:52 – What is the most under-appreciated anime of all time?

9:47 – Who’s the next “big dog” in anime, or is there any dogs at all?

18:14 – What’s your favorite magical girl anime? And yes, you must pick one.

22:29 – What is an aspect of contemporary anime that you feel has really improved when compared to earlier times?

28:13 – What’s the most important anime of the non-“golden era”? [In retrospect, he might have actually been asking about the “known golden era” but Canadian accents are screwy.]

35:37 – What’s your favorite anime of the 80s, and what’s your favorite anime of the 90s? Why?

41:57 – The most popular anime of today, much like videogames, tend to be set in more realistic settings compared to the past. What are your thoughts on this?
