The Podcast That Loves Anime
Niall Flanagan from Secret of the Sailor Madness and Let’s Go! joins us to climb into the TATDMU time machine and watch 3 more anime that geography denied our childhoods.
The Story of Pollyanna, Girl of Love (1986) – a World Masterpiece Theatre adaptation of Eleanor H Porter’s novels.
Violinist of Hamelin (1996) – based on Michiaki Watanabe’s manga.
Hakugei: Legend of the Moby Dick (1997) – based on Herman Melville’s novel, but in space.

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.

Dynamite In The Brain has had a strained relationship with Makoto Shinkai’s work in the past, but has he turned it around with the BIGGEST ANIME OF ALL TIME, Your Name? Grace Chan and Niall Flanagan join us to get our thoughts in order about this hit anime film.

Cast in name of Pod. Ye guilty. Guilty of keeping our promises, that is! As we discussed way back in Episode 145, we are back 3 years later to review Season 2 of Big O! Dwayne and Niall are back and we’ve got an Elliot Page here too. What’s changed in Paradigm City over those 3 years? Can we make sense of the ending? Will Brian somehow end up discussing Heybot? All these questions and more are answered on this week’s Dynamite In The Brain.
