Here’s the first of many audio interviews we conducted at Otakon 2008 with some of the members of the Philadelphia Animation Society, an anime club that’s been around since 1982. All of them were present at the Old Farts Anime Appreciation panel, so listen to it for the sake of us AND FOR ROMINA, THE AL-IEN PRINCESS!

From left to right: Sidney, Kevin, Bill, and Jim.

Other news: this weekend is the Providence Anime Conference over in Rhode Island, which we sadly won’t be attending on account that we’re still trying to recuperate after Anime Weekend Atlanta. But in a few short weeks in upstate New York is SITACon, with special guests Gerald and Clarissa! Then after that, it’s EXPCon, followed by Anime Supercon! Man, remember when AWA was the last con of the year? Or when we were able to actually play the videogames we bought?

(please note: Rowena the AL-IEN PRINCESS is not to be confused with Ruruna, the DA-TA-BASE PRINCESS)

Here’s an interview we conducted with veteran anime voice actor and ADR director Richard Epcar at Florida Supercon 2008. Some of his more notable roles include Batou from Ghost in the Shell, Jigen from the Geneon dubs of Lupin the Third, Guld Goa Bowman from Macross Plus, Hiko Seijuro from Rurouni Kenshin, and Coach Kamogawa from Hajime no Ippo. That’s not even scratching the surface.

This interview also doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface, since Richard Epcar’s got tons of stories to tell. Be sure to check him out if he’s at a convention near you! At about 30 minutes, this might be the very first AWO release that falls within conventional accepted guidelines for podcast length!

Show 71 will be released hopefully within the next week.
