On this episode, we have just a small meeting with Dennis, Ed, and Kate as we convene over Discord. After butchering the title for The Night Is Short, Walk On Girl, the club tackles the main discussion for the 1985 OVA of Dirty Pair: Affair on Nolandia. As Dennis and Kate's first introduction to Dirty Pair, we see how it stacks up for those looking to jump into the classic series. There's references to other sci-fi movies and anime titles abound, as we cover the first of the three features in this release.

It's a holiday themed episode, as Ed, Dennis, Garrett, Karen, & Kate discuss 2003's Tokyo Godfathers by Satoshi Kon.

On this episode, join hosts Ed, Karen, Kate, Garrett, & Dennis as we discuss the 1998 OVA series Kite, also known as A Kite in Japan. Is this hentai or not? There's a lot of tough subject matter to discuss in this one, so this episode is not for everyone. But between the sex and the violence, is there enough in this revenge story that has garnered praise from some noteworthy Hollywood film makers along with inspiring a No Doubt music video? Let's find out more about our young assassins. 0:00:00 - Intro & News Support the show by donating to our Ko-Fi link below as Kite is currently out of print on DVD and Blu-ray.

08 Dec 2022 | Episode 158 - A-ko la Kill (Project A-ko) | 03:14:54 | |
It's our last rewatch/review for 2022, but it won't be our last episode of the year! Joining hosts Dennis, Diana, and Ed for the Project A-ko discussion are three special guests: Eron, Patrick, and Jennifer. There might not be a lot of plot to this one, but there sure is a lot of sakuga. And as deep as we try to dive into it, there are just too many bonus features on the recently released Discotek Blu-ray that we can't go over it all. So instead, we just pick some of our favorite segments. Thanks to special guests Eron (www.eronrauch.com), Patrick (TW @Zagposting), & Jennifer (IG @spacepizzacos).

On this episode, join Ed, Garrett, Karen, Kate, & Dennis for more adventures in The Universe of the Four Gods with our Fushigi Yûgi recap of episodes 36-39. We've reached one of the lowest points for Miaka, and most of the Suzaku Warriors aren't even around! There's so much running away, a couple of big truth bombs, more Street Fighter II homages, and more shells than you can shake a stick at. You are about to enter another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a perilous land of illusions. Next stop, the Tomo Zone. 0:00:00 - Intro & Some Anime News Unfortunately, Fushigi Yugi is currently out of print, but you can still support the show by donating to our Ko-Fi link below. | |||

On this episode, Ed, Dennis, Garrett, and Kate go over our final Tenchi Muyo OVA episodes that were previously broadcast on Toonami. Ryo-Ohki gets a new transformation! Ryoko's replaced by a doppleganger, who of course falls in love with Tenchi. And some potential inlaws from Jurai also happen to visit earth! We also discuss some dangling plot points like the possible Jurai spy, was Seiryo even necessary, those higher dimensional beings, and what exactly is happening with the politics of Jurai?

04 Aug 2022 | Episode 149 - Skirting the Issue (Legend of the Galactic Heroes: My Conquest is the Sea of Stars) | 03:01:04 | |
On this episode, join Dennis, Ed, Garret, Kate, and Karen as we take our first dive into one of anime's tougher fandoms to get into: Legend of the Galactic Heroes. We're starting with 1988's pilot OVA/first movie, My Conquest is the Sea of Stars. Two warring factions with their respective brilliant strategists who are still trying to earn the respect of their commanding officers, it's our first look at Yang Wen-Li and Reinhard von Müsel (who later becomes Reinhard von Lohengramm). We make some obvious comparisons to the Gundam, Macross, and Star Blazers franchises, appreciating the classical music after watching Princess Tutu, figuring out if these military tactics are actually brilliant or not, so much laserdisc talk, and too many mentions of skirts. So whether you're taking 5 ships or 8,000 ships for a diversion, we've got you covered.

26 Aug 2021 | Episode 128 - When Doves Fly (Cowboy Bebop 6 of 6) | 03:08:22 | |
Join Dennis, Ed, Kate, and Karen as we discuss our final recap episode for Cowboy Bebop. So many new emotions during our entire rewatch, and it all culminates to this one. There's a lot of goodbyes for some of our favorite characters, and unsurprisingly, they hit just as hard emotionally now, if not more than when we first watched the series. Friendship, love, trust, betrayal, family, home, farewells, honor, duty, revenge--and we still have to properly get introduced to Julia, too. Hope you enjoyed rewatching this along with us. And if you don't have Cowboy Bebop in your personal collection, well, you know where to find a copy. You're gonna carry that weight.

20 Nov 2019 | Episode 88 - Hubba Hubba Zoot Zoot (El-Hazard: The Magnificent World 2 of 3) | 01:21:59 | |
On this episode, we're down to a trio of hosts with Ed, Kate, and Dennis to discuss episodes 4 and 5 of El-Hazard: The Mysterious World. Ifurita is awake, and wrecking things. But there's more going on in El-Hazard than an ancient demon weapon. What's the deal with Galus and Nahato? Shayla Shayla and Nanami exchange insults, including a dub translation that probably wouldn't work today. Bugram party times, including a reference to one of the oldest AMVs we can remember. And our heroes' plans not really working out all that well for now. Luckily, you won't have to wait 10,000 for the conclusion. But we are pushing back the finale by a week.

Kate, Ed, and Dennis continue on in the adventures in Gaea with special guest Karen. The romance subplots in Escaflowne come to the forefront now.

And of course, Club Escaflowne part 5.

On this episode, join the OG trio of Ed, Dennis, and Kate as we discuss the next batch of Gundam Wing episodes, 26-30. That's right folks, we're back in the After Colony era. The downside for this batch (or upside in the shorter podcast length) is that there are two recap episode covering the first half of the series.

On this episode, join Ed, Kate, and Dennis as they discuss the 1997 prequel OVA series Sakura Wars.

We also talk about steampunk mechs, the dual life of a stage performer and soldier, if granny deems you worthy, and comparisons to another Taisho era based anime that involves fighting demons.

Diana, Ed, Kate, Dennis, Karen, Garrett, and Sam are joined by special guest Eron, making his first actual episode appearance (he was on the Project A-Ko Facebook Live we did on New Years Eve).

03 Jun 2021 | Episode 122 - Lifetime Achievement Award (Millennium Actress) | 02:02:16 | |

On this episode, Ed, Diana, Dennis, and Kate are joined by returning guest Michelle and first time guest Kristen to talk about Sailor Moon R: The Movie. One of the most recognized anime titles ever, we definitely wanted some other experts on to share how much this series means to them. Viz put out an uncut remastered release on streaming and home release, but that also doesn't mean we can't talk about the DiC release from the 90s either. So sit back, reminisce, and enjoy the episode. Otherwise, in the name of the moon... we'll... release another episode. No punishment involved!

03 Apr 2020 | Episode 94 - Count Erfeit (Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro) | 03:14:25 | |
Hope everyone is being safe out there. On this episode, the club gets together online again to discuss Miyazaki's first ever directed feature, Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro. This 1979 film was made by a bunch of people who would eventually make up the early core of Studio Ghibli. So it's a Ghibli film in spirit, but not technically a Ghibli film. We go over some of the reception to Lupin's portrayal, some differences in the Streamline version that's on Netflix, Lupin's age, old currency, extreme Home Alone, and so much more. Hope you have enough wine with you to enjoy this one, because it's a long one. And don't forget to wash your hands!

And before that, we also get into some of our highlights of the Winter 2022 anime season plus looking forward to Spy x Fa--I mean the Spring 2022 anime season. Other talking points include Diana's origin with Ruin Explorers, comparisons to Slayers and Lodoss Wars, which anime characters does Ihrie remind Dennis of, what is Fam's D&D class, Wacky Races, and is Lyle like Steve Urkel?

On our final Gundam movie trilogy talk, Ed and Dennis are joined by Mike L over Discord to discuss Encounters in Space. Mike hasn't been on since Pom Poko, so it was a great chance to have him on again. Those missing epic battles from movie 2? Turns out they're all here in movie 3. We've also got suprise love squares, psychic battles and telepathy, horse back riding, fencing, betrayal after betrayal, and so much more regarding Newtypes. We think we're finally starting to understand them...maybe. Salute to the best ship names: Camel, Kwamel, and Swamel. Thanks to special guest Mike L (@HolySpacePug) for being on through Discord!

We get to hear what Diana's been up to, how Ed's trip to Japan briefly was (he's still jetlagged), and Alcuin's anime history. We also debut a new corrections and special shout out segment. Then Diana and Alcuin recall their Escaflowne stories, and that's just the first hour of the show! There's lots of feels for the ending, some unexpected. Hope you have enjoyed our journey through our first 26 episode rewatch and review.

Monsters roam the land, and our hero has to deal with taking out his best friend. But there are a whole lot more things to unpack. Like just what is that flashback that Hikage keeps thinking about? Why are so many ninjas pantsless? There's a literal sea horse that gallops underwater! And two different women love interests, both named Aya.

Join hosts Dennis, Ed, Karen, Kate, and Garrett along with returning special guest Kristen and brand new special guest Daniel as they talk the first five episodes of Gundam Wing. From Heero's death wish, Relena's death wish, bonding through music, or a popcorn bubblebath, when that Two-Mix song starts, you know you're in for a good time. 0:00:00 - Intro + Getting to Know Daniel Special thanks to Kristen (@kori.starfire) and Daniel (Sanctuary of Kain Patreon) for joining us!

It's the intro episode to the Vintage Anime Podcast! Like older anime? Miss the days when it was a more of a social experience watching with friends? So do we! Come join in our anime club where we'll watch one disk each episode and discuss it over a bottle of wine or two. For this episode, we discuss how we got into and remained in the anime fandom. There's weekday afternoon Toonami reminiscing, Gundam elitism, T-1 college internet, and when Sci-Fi had an anime weekend marathon. Kanpai! | |||
22 Sep 2021 | Episode 129 - Big Hair, Bigger Conspiracy (Megazone 23 Part 1) | 02:07:19 | |
On this episode, join Dennis, Ed, Karen, and Kate as they discuss Megazone 23 OVA 1. One of the breakout hits of the early years of original video animation, we get to see all the tropes and other things we have taken for granted in modern anime with this 1985 release. Besides a great soundtrack and some potention inspiration for things like The Matrix and Dark City, there's also the sci-fi lineage from some of the minds behind Macross, Yamato, Gundam, Legend of the Galactic Heroes, Urusei Yatsura, and so much more. From government cover-ups, deepfake AI, prolific product placement, motorcycle robots, and the always fun plot explanation over a sex scene montage (which we call "sexplanation"), grab your leather biker gear and have a listen. Because it's time to get into the zone. The Megazone.

On this episode, hosts Dennis, Ed, Eve, and Kate are once again joined by special guest Karen to continue our Escaflowne TV talk, this time for disc 5. We finally get some answers to some burning questions, but that also leads to even more questions! We also talk about Anime Los Angeles, current anime con trends, Escaflowne/Avengers parallels, Guymelef hair, Allen's backstory, Escaflowne/Fullmetal Alchemist parallels, mirror worlds, the power of wishes, and the ultimate question: who does Hitomi really like? And the second non-Sekitomo CLUB ESCAFLOWNE, with all the denim clothing again. | |||
28 Feb 2017 | Episode 20.5 - Voltron Legendary Defender | 03:03:28 | |
You've had plenty of time to see it. We've watched it a bunch of times, too. Dennis, Kate, and Eve are joined by guests Caitlin, Karen, and Garrett to take a break from anime to extol the virtues of Dreamworks' Voltron: Legendary Defender seasons 1 and 2 (currently on Netflix). We also talk a little about the original Voltron/Beast King GoLion, other Voltron reboots, season 1 and 2 spoilers, and what we hope for season 3. You'll also learn what a "dilq" is. So suit up, grab your bayard, and lets go get those Galra. And I'll form... the head! | |||

On this episode, Dennis, Eve, Han, and Karen are joined by special guest Bryan Newton, director on Rick & Morty and previously Teen Titans GO! plus host of the Animation Success Stories Podcast. Bit of a downer in the intro as we discuss Hiromi Tsuru's passing and Nobuhiro Watsuki's arrest. The discussion does pick back up as we discuss the banned from Toonami episode "Hot Springs Planet Tenrei" including the fashion choices, fan service, villain ineptitude, and just all in all silliness of it before we get into the three-episode finale. The big fights at the end, the reveal of the mysteries behind the Galactic Leyline and Melfina, ludicrous space ship combat! What will happen to the crew of the Outlaw Star at the end?

With self-quarantining and social distancing well underway, we scrap our initial choice for this episode to one that we can all stream legally and discuss over Discord. So instead of Garzey's Wing, club members Dennis, Ed, Kate, and Karen discuss 1989's Riding Bean from Kenichi Sonoda. We're revisiting Chicago in an anime again! There's exciting car chase sequences, a tricked out super car, Mission Impossible style disguises, a different looking Rally Vincent, what is and isn't bulletproof, and some major gaslighting.

On this episode, Kate, Eve, Ed, and Dennis are joined again by Caitlin, Karen, and Han to talk about The Special Combat Duty Unit Shinesman! But bear with us as we recall and recover our experience at this year's Anime Expo. For the sentai parody that is Shinesman, we talk a lot about the dub & translation differences (which we highly enjoyed), monster corporate sabotage, unfulfilled plot points, hero color choices, and the mysterious translator Tokyo Rose. | |||

On this episode we have Diana, Ed, Karen, Kate, Dennis, and the return of Sam to discuss the first Urusei Yatsura movie Only You, released in 1983. Based on Rumiko Takahashi's first serialized manga, and the feature length directorial debut for Mamoru Oshii, we see glimpses of story, design, and direction in their more globally known works that we're more familiar with. We can't help but bring up some Ranma comparisons, why Ataru is surrounded by all the ladies, weird alien customs, one of anime's earliest himbos, Wedding Crashers, and puns for days. CW: We also discuss briefly about the scandal with the writer for Shonen Jump's Act-Age manga in our news section.

On this episode, join hosts Garrett, Kate, Ed, and Dennis as we discuss the 1989 film Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland. Similar to our Unico watch, we discuss if this actually is an anime title or just anime adjacent? Many of your favorite dreams and least favorite nightmares as a child are featured, such as trains, clowns falling, monsters, magic, flying, derigibles, and a lot more. Except for that one nightmare when you're late for school or work and you don't have any bottoms on.

On this episode, join hosts Ed, Garrett, Karen, Kate, and Dennis as we discuss the 1970 film Cleopatra, by Mushi Productions. Part of the adult targeted "Animerama" trilogy, this is not your Tezuka's Astro Boy or Kimba the White Lion. This film plays it loose with history while also showcasing fine art from various cultures, at times both childish and adult, and filled with lots of heartache and loss.

On this episode, we somehow survived the inferno known as Anime Expo. Dennis, Ed, Kate and Karen come back from being melted to discuss Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie. After a blitz of news from and during AX, we go into some Street Fighter game memories, or for some, the lack thereof. We discuss how often they actually fight in the streets, Cammy's brief appearance or Cammy-O if you will, Seattle-raised Kate not being able to get over "North Seattle" being a thing, Ken's shorts, fighter bromances, what's in Ryu's bag, the famed Chun-Li vs Vega fight, the lack of Psycho Crusher, and we settle the debate of wizardry in Street Fighter.

On our last episode for 2019, the club gets together one more time this year to discuss the last two episodes of El-Hazard: The Magnificent World. While we all knew how things would ultimately play out, it was more about the reveals and repercussions. What is Fatora actually like? Will we know more about the Phantom Tribe? How do Nanami and Shayla Shayla feel about Ifurita? How will all this timey-wimey nonsense resolve itself? Featuring the voices of Dennis, Ed, Karen, Kate, and Garrett. Also stick around for an extended post episode stinger. Before we go over this episode's wine pairings, we also discuss our favorite anime titles of 2019.

We've got the last of our side story adventures where Gourry gets a lesson in posing for justice along with a replacement sword, some new baddies who look like possible Dragon Ball Z villains, Jillas' return with a precocious fox kid, someone who's not Aerith Gainsborough, are we the baddies, and curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal. 0:00:00 - Intro & The Watchlist Unfortunately, Slayers Try is currently out of print, but you can still support the show by donating to our Ko-Fi link below.

So instead, Dennis, Ed, Karen, Kate, and returning guest Jet discuss all 6 episodes of War in the Pocket. We discuss Al's super powers of marathon running, terrible trade skills, Chris being the best girl next door, Garcia and Mikhail's dub accents, crocodile tears, and bad Federation policies.

In our second Ghibli movie for our second anniversary month, we've got a new visitor! Mike joins the show (a different Mike than previously) along with Diana, Dennis, Ed, and Han to discuss Isao Takahata's film Pom Poko. For this review, we go over some bits regarding Japanese folklore, especially regarding one of the tanuki's prominent body features. We also discuss some of the more serious messages within the film as it also contrasts the more light-hearted tone. In memory of Isao Takahata, thank you for all emotions you have given us through your works. Thanks to special guest Mike, who you can find @HolySpacePug on Twitter.

On this episode, the club revisits one of main catalysts for anime mecha fandom and plastic model kit builders. That's right, we're going over Mobile Suit Gundam, at least in its movie trilogy format. Celebrating its 40th Anniversary, what better time to watch the one that started it all. Joining the hosts Dennis, Ed, Kate, and Karen, we have returning guest Mike, and brand new special guest Jet! Thanks to these two Gundam experts, we go over the first parts of the One Year War. From Amuro being a pro at reading the manual, figuring out what exactly Char is up to, Garma's fabulous hair, wondering why kids are on a battleship, and swooning over Matilda, let's go back to the year Universal Century 0079. Grab yourself a Gunpla kit, we're in the One Year War. Many thanks again to our special guests Mike and Jet (@jetspectacular) for being on!

We get to meet two main cast members in the story, with an antagonist in Vicious, and with the final member of the Bebop crew in Ed.

On this episode, join Diana, Dennis, Kate, Garrett, & Ed for the season 1 finale of Fushigi Yugi, covering episodes 23-26. All of the Suzaku Warriors have finally gathered plus 1 (wait, what...), and the melodrama just gets thicker. Tamahome is back to his old ways for a bit, Miaka has accidentally unlocked Hard Mode for the "summon Suzaku quest," friend zoning and promise rings, twin powers activate, river wall discrepancies, only one person freaking out over polaroid pictures, and of course, resurrecting a Tom Cardy joke from a previous episode. 0:00:00 - Intro & Some Anime Related News Unfortunately, Fushigi Yugi is currently out of print, but you can still support the show by donating to our Ko-Fi link below. | |||

On this episode, Han returns after a long hiatus to join Dennis, Kate, and Ed for Megazone 23 Part 3. New characters with Eiji Takanaka, Ryo Narahara, and the mysterious characters of Sion, Jacob Halm, and Won Dai, plus the real Eve Tokimatsuri and not her digital persona. We have to get the Akira comparisons out of the way, along Eiji's current favorite game, Hard On II, just to get through this wild plot of a sequel. Did they succeed in adding to the story that seemed complete from Part 2? What of Shogo and his friends? Why can't E=X and Orange Amusement share network coverage? And is everyone just cool with Garland tech now? Quarter up because you got next on Hard On II, and listen in before you cycle out. Let's see what's up with Megazone 23 Part 3.

We also discuss Aisha's cooking, Aisha's nickname for Suzuka, Aisha's work ethic, and what if Aisha were Jim's partner instead of Gene. It's a very Aisha focused podcast this time. You better get ready. Thanks to special guest Han for continuing to stop by and drop some wine knowledge on us.

04 May 2022 | Episode 143 - Edel's Advice Truck (Princess Tutu 1 of 6) | 02:36:13 | |
On this episode, join Karen, Kate, Ed, and Dennis as they discuss the 2002 series Princess Tutu. We somehow avoid a major recording disaster with Dennis forgetting the actual microphones, so this episode's audio sounds different than what you're used to hearing. But we still have much to discuss, such as all of the dance battles, what we think happens in Once Upon a Time, why do people like Mytho, more animals than we realize, and is Neko-sensei worse than Kimura-sensei? Maybe you can help us decide. Un, Deux, Trois! It's time to discuss the first four episodes of Princess Tutu.
