We’re back with a special episode of Let’s Go JoJo, the JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Podcast from Secret of the Sailor Madness and Dynamite In The Brain. In this episode we take a look at the OAV series from 2000-2002 that adapted the first half of Stardust Crusaders. Plus, the last two and a half months in JoJo’s news!

Episode 162 – Leeds Film Anime Day

LEEDS

Once again, Anthony, Brian and Greg headed to Leeds Film’s Fanomenom Anime Day. Only this time Lewis came with us too! We saw 6 animated films in 11 hours. Appleseed Alpha, Dragon Ball Battle Of Gods, Short Peace, Giovanni’s Island, Ghost In The Shell and Grave of the Fireflies were on the bill and you will hear what we thought about them on this podcast.

PLUS: Anthony and Greg went to the Day of the Dead so they will also tell you about a whole pile of horror movies too.

It’s a special ALL RETRO RECAP episode as we go back to 1984 and look at the opening episodes of five anime shows from that year. There are giant pink chickens with GU-GU GANMO. 1984’s answer to Space Dandy shows up in HEAVY METAL L-GAIM. There are more giant chickens in PANZER WORLD GALIENT. The concept of car tuning gets its very own show with YOROSHIKU MECHADOCK. And finally we visit 80’s New York in GIANT GORG.

Plus our regular Weekly Retro Recap too.

Better late than never, it’s Dynamite in the Brain!

Episode 160 – Judge

my name is judge

It’s Halloween and for a change we aren’t talking about a vampire anime. Instead we take a look at the 1991 supernatural law OAV, Judge with guests Niall Flanagan and Leon Everertt. Maybe we should have stuck to the vampires.

On a less spooky note, Ninja Nonsense episode 2 is our Weekly Retro Recap and we play a game of MEGA CITY ONE or MEGA CITY NONE?

Boo!

Episode 159 – Space Dandy Season 2

We are joined by Ebbie from OKKO Anime Club and Niall from SOTSM to talk the best anime of all time, Space Dandy Season 2. All thirteen episodes, episode by episode.

Plus, Brian has the flu and wouldn’t realise until five days after recording this that it wasn’t his turn to do the Weekly Retro Recap on Ninja Nonsense. So who knows what other fever inspired delusions he might spout this episode. He doesn’t know, because he didn’t listen back to it. So find out for yourself and let him know in the comments.

And as it was a week or so into the new season of anime when we recorded this, we do a WATCHUWATCH as well.

ENJOY!

Episode 158 – Silver Fang

[anime_fin]_Ginga_Nagareboshi_Gin_14_DVDRiP.ogm_snapshot_01.15_[2014.10.18_18.22.56]

Greg Driver joins us as we follow up our ALL-DOG EPISODE with a look at our favourite show from that episode, SILVER FANG or GINGA NAGAREBOSHI GIN. Do you like dogs? Do you like bloody 80s shonen violence? Do you want to see that violence performed by realistically drawn dogs? On bears? Then this is the show for you!

Also contains some MOBY DICK and JAWS for good measure.

Plus, our Weekly Retro Recap is My-HiME and WATCHUWATCH weturns!

It’s a week late, but it’s always great, it’s DITB.

Episode 157 – Autumn Anime Preview

Hansa

All you really need to know about this Autumn’s anime is that the duck above is wearing a crown, and it appears in Shingeki no Bahamut Genesis. But should you need to know more about what guest Bradley C. Meek and ourselves thought about the Summer anime that we checked out and the upcoming Autumn anime that catches our fancy, then here is nigh on two hours of chat about that very subject!

Let’s Go JoJo! Episode 24 – High Priestess (Part 2)

car

And so we end season 1 of the show that only Brian is calling LGJJ with a classic podcasting audio nightmare. To paraphrase Wallace, “It’s the wrong microphone Gromit and it’s gone wrong!”.

In this episode Brian is recorded via a microphone placed off to the side on top of his printer and not the one he was talking into. Because of this he sounds like he is broadcasting on an AM station, at the bottom of well. What a idiot.

Luckily everyone else is fine and Niall is doing the synopsis this week anyway, so shut up.  Please enjoy the last episode of Let’s Go JoJo Season 1, the JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure podcast from Secret of the Sailor Madness and Dynamite In The Brain. See you next year.

 

Episode 155 – Armitage III Poly-Matrix

OOOHYEAHSNAPINTOASLIMJIM

Lewis Smith joins us today to talk about Armitage III Poly-Matrix. Don’t worry if you haven’t seen Armitage I or Armitage II, they don’t exist. Instead listen to us discuss the relative merits of Kiefer Sutherland, voice actor, and whether Randy Savage is Cyberpunk. Plus, more Paranoia Agent and a round of the game “Get Your A(nswer)ss To Mars!”
