As promised in last year’s Angel’s Egg episode, this year we watched
Carl Colpaert’s In The Aftermath, a strange hybrid of Angel’s Egg and a Wasteland themed LARP.
It’s likely for this reason that we couldn’t find a guest for the show…

Niall Flanagan from Secret of the Sailor Madness & Let’s Go JoJo joins us to discuss 1999’s Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade.

Philip O’Connor (and assorted kitchen noises) is back on the podcast, to talk Mamoru Oshii’s 1985 enigmatic OVA, Angel’s Egg (ova? egg? geddit?). Plus, the last Just Enough To Bluff for the foreseeable future is another Oshii project – Patlabor on TV. And Brian is really, really tired.

Jon Anning joins us to make good on our promise to watch Mamoru Oshii’s 2004 movie, based on Masamune Shirow’s manga, Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence. AKA the one with barely any Major. Plus we play a game of “Anime TV Cops”. And that’s about that.

Episode 150! And what better way to celebrate than discussing the 1995 film Ghost In The Shell with Jon Anning? Turns out there is a better a way, to celebrate with cake, in a game we like to call BATEAU OR GATTEAU?
Even after that there’s room for dessert, Dessert Punk that is, as it enters week 3 of it’s Weekly Retro Recap.

Bradley C Meek from THEM Anime Reviews joins us to talk Urusei Yatsura and the film Beautiful Dreamer. It’s a long one and we will spoil the hell out of this 1984 film that is now out of print, and so it doesn’t really matter. As well as lots of UY talk, we digress into Brian’s WAR ON NARRATIVE, Lupin III and Mamoru Oshii’s fear of eating in.
