Episode 70 - We Are Making Anime Empire Relevant Again...Twice Actually

I am sure you are probably wondering what Anime Empire has anything to do with this episode of the podcast. No, we did not interview any of the staff of A-Empire. Actually, this episode is not even a continuation of our piracy episode. This really is a way for us to thank the people of Anime Empire for all the hard work and dedication they put into their dozens of projects. While most of the talk about them is in our feedback section, we are still going to give you another list of mistakes that we have made during this last run of episodes.

(0:00 - 5:48) Intro

If you are wondering if we have that Power Rangers argument, we don't.

(5:49 - 31:38) Discussion (Errors)

You know what would be really funny, if all of those episodes that Casper didn't do had no errors in them.

Here is the recipe for The Peterson aka. The Bartender (Peterson version).

Dry gin
Dry sherry
Dry vermouth
Triple sec
Splash of sparkling wine

Please drink responsibly.

(31:39 - 34:26) Earcatch

Jammer's AniMovie Podcast Glad you released something.,

Otaku Home Podcast Sucks your laptop got stolen.

Animeshon Podcast Need to schedule Marvel a bit better.

(31:27 - 1:22:05) Mailbag

All of your Anime Empire needs are here, but obviously there is something more important that needs to be said.

As most of our listeners know, we are an interesting set of characters with a variety of interests. With this show being an open forum to express our interests, time and again, we tend to reference certain shows as our respective favorites. We have gotten enough feedback that requests us to bring more discussion on those shows and, if possible, talk about them more exclusively. I had intended this podcast mainly as a catch all show. So the idea about talking one specific show exclusively is a bit outside my comfort zone. That being said, I will try my hardest to make this work. I think that is enough buildup, right?

For the people who actually read the notes on the site before or during listening to the episode, I am proud to announce that we are starting up a new podcast, twice actually. Sorry, I had to get that joke in somehow. Yes, two new shows. Foxy and I will make our running joke a reality by starting up a Gintama podcast. I will blame this trailer to be the final push we needed for this to happen.



Now, the next show that I am mainly going to spearhead with Bond Girl will be a Detective Conan/Case Closed podcast. Obviously, this is a big show, so dedicating a whole podcast about will be a challenge. Now you know that I am going to have a lot of manga purchases in 2011.

The question now becomes, what will become of the SSAA Podcast? This simple answer: Nothing will change. We will bring you same show we always have, maybe with me sounding a bit more tired as we go along. I don’t want the show to be hindered just because we are starting more shows. We already did our Gintama and Detective Conan episode already, so we don’t need to talk about it again on the main show. The most you will hear is us mentioning new episodes of those podcasts. As of the day I released this episode, we have not finalized the release schedule, a web site, or even names for these podcasts. This why we are going to be taking a few weeks off to sort everything out. Do not think of this as us podfading. It took a little time to originally start this show. Now that we are experienced, the turn around time for these new shows will be a lot shorter. Until then, we will premiere these two shows together on our podcast. The episode will be titled “The Pilot.” Look out for it.

Thank you to everyone who has written in, especially our anonymous friend.

Episode 69.5 - She Stared Towards The Sunset...Twice Actually

Since Doctor often records episodes without warning or our prior knowledge for the sole purpose of creating a bigger fanbase for himself for the inevitable day when he vote-kicks all of us from the podcast, Peterson and I made a promise to ourselves that we would one day record our own solo episodes that would be better and grander than his. Of course, the results are a lot different when we actually tried. He did his thing about some manga or something like always & then I tried talking to myself for hours and hours. Since the Top of the Aughts is mostly my project I decided to make things easier for myself and talk about some things I love from that list and some things I hate about them. Sorry about the Christmas music and the little children next door.

(0:00 - 3:30) Intro

It's that thing that pisses me off when everybody's happy when pretty much nothing's really resolved. Hooray for brushing everything under the rug. It's not that I hate happy endings, I hate badly written happy endings.

(3:31 - 27:39) Review (Mai-Hime)

It's not that I would know how a typical magical girl show works so this whole bit is assumption. I'm not a fan like Doctor. Most of this summary is done from memory so sorry about not being professional.

Spoilers everywhere.

(27:40 - 28:33) Earcatch

Anime 3000 Hope to see you at that anime club again.

(28:34 - 41:03) Review (Last Exile)

Last Exile is phenomenally gorgeous for a 7+ year old show. There's a subtle plug in there for a cable TV show in there that you should watch. Seriously if you can find it, watch it.

Link to the concept art here.

If you couldn't tell that I'm a totally shippy fangirl, it's all in this part. And Delphine probably met Claus, but my memory sucks. My gaydar is broken in case you couldn't tell, has been for years but I refuse to take it in to the shop.

(41:04 - 42:10) Earcatch

Jammer’s AniMovie Podcast Still haven't watched the new Harry Potter.

(42:11 - 56:39) Review (Claymore)

Main character be trolling. Sidekick character is ultimately annoying.

Image shamelessly stolen from earlier blog post.



Not flashbacks be happening without warning. The minute the twin goddess statues are explained my brain exploded. In summation, like Berserk, after watching Claymore, buy the manga.

(56:40 - 57:09) Earcatch

The Unofficial One Piece Podcast Good luck with that award.

(57:10 - 1:10:32) Review (Shaman King)

Asakura Hao has the single greatest pants/shoes/gloves combination in the history of anime. I defy you to present to me a better combi.




The Necrophilia was what amused me the most about 4Kids picking up Shaman King (It was the only thing amusing about 4kids picking up Shaman King). Ren's older sister clearly falls in love with her dead Bruce Lee zombie & 4Kids instead of burying it plays it up even more.

Hey Kids it's Bruce Lee



Chocolove's jaguar is named Mick. Mick Jaguar, get it? GET IT?



THIS IS NOT RACIST AT ALL. No sirree massa. (He tells awful jokes too)

(1:10:33 - 1:27:25) Discussion (Questions?)

I ask questions of myself now. Please try to watch these shows, voting for them doesn't matter so much. The endings really aren't all that bad (except Claymore), I just have high standards.

(1:27:26 - 1:29:26) Closing
