AWO on Anime Fans Give Back to Japan

We haven’t quite got a new episode recorded or posted, but if you want to hear a LIVE session of us recording, we will be part of the Anime Fans Give Back to Japan podcasting drive being set up to help raise money for earthquake/tsunami relief efforts. The website is here.

We will be on at 2:30 PM EDT talking about–what else!–overlooked anime. We know it says 30 minutes, but knowing us we’ll probably stick around. The podcasting drive runs 24 hours, from 6:00 PM 3/19/11 to 6:00 PM 3/20/11, with a variety of guest podcasters and voice actors filling in. Check the schedule for the full listings.

In the meantime, we’ve all made guest appearances on other podcasts recently. Gerald and Clarissa have been part of the latest theme session of the Greatest Movie EVER! podcast devoted to the film adaptations of HP Lovecraft works, and Daryl was on Atomic Trivia War 9000 (he didn’t know about any of that STUPID STUFF they were talking about, and if you don’t like him saying that, YOU CAN SUCK IT). He was also on the OSMCast! talking about what is almost certainly the greatest film of 2011, Drive Angry 3D. Shame on the world for not seeing it.

We could post links, but uh…check the Guest Spots page. They’re all over there.

It took something like nine months, but now that Clarissa isn’t working full time and taking a full load of graduate school classes she can now bring to us her review of the Viz Signature release of Kingyo Used Books.

For this endeavor, we are joined by “Chiaki Tachibana” from the Anime Addicts Anonymous Podcast. We make this distinction to note that she is NOT he Shin Megami Tensei character, NOR is she the one from the hentai After Class Lesson whose character bio according to MyAnimeList is “The fifth girl who was raped, she is lesbian and a miko.” (That biography is completely inaccurate since she wasn’t fifth.) Daryl was previously a guest on their podcast; for links to that as well as all of our other guest appearances on other podcasts, refer to the “Guest Spots” link at the top of the page.

In the emails, we end up talking about Infinite Ryvius and somehow BLASTER KNUCKLE~!, which prompts the question “do we even need to review Blaster Knuckle now?” You already know everything you need to know based on what was said about it here! We also mention this Yotsuba&! Photoshop on moe (featuring a more different manga about manga than what we reviewed this episode).

On the subject of Kingyo Used Books: Volume 1 and Volume 2 are currently available for sale, and you can read sample chapters from each volume as well as Volume 3 via the Viz SigIkki website.

Oh, we almost forgot: Bob from Pittsburgh made this logo for us! Well, not so much FOR us so much as practice for himself, but we’ve decided we would steal it and maybe start using it for publicity things someday. Thoughts?

Unlike our current logo, this was not created by us in MS Paint in 5 minutes.
