The Anime That Didn’t Make Us #1 – Captain Tsubasa, Fushigi Yugi, Bonobono

A podcast about anime we could have been nostalgic for but for the curse of geography.

Each episode Anthony, Brian and possibly a Guest pick an anime TV show that aired in Japan during their youth, but they never got to see at the time. We then all watch the first episodes of those shows and discuss them.

This episode we’re joined by Niall Flanagan from Secret of the Sailor Madness and Let’s Go! to talk Captain Tsubasa from 1983, and a double bill of 1995 – Fushigi Yugi and Bonobono.

Episode 91 – Slayers The Motion Picture

Slayers The Motion Picture

Gary Hedges joins us today to talk about Slayers The Motion Picture (1995), Lina and Naga’s first animated outing together. Plus all the usual features, with this week’s Weekly Retro Recap being episode 1 of Zatch Bell.

And yes, there is a game. One which we had to record twice as the rules in the first attempt made it something of a disaster. Is the final version any less of a disaster? You be the judge!

Episode 90 – Memories

Aaron Long joins us again today, to talk about Memories, the 1995 anthology based on the works of Katsuhiro Otomo. That’s MAGNETIC ROSE, STINK BOMB and CANNON FODDER, three excellent short films. And because of what’s in this week’s Weekly Retro Recap, we guarantee that this review of Memories contains more references to MR STAIN IN JUNK ALLEY than any other you can find on the internet.

Plus we play a game of MEMORIES ARE MADE OF THESE as Aaron tries to improve on the performance in the whale-based quiz from the Mind Game episode.
