Anibros Podcast

Hey what’s up? This week it’s just the two of us coming at you with a little bit of info on some anime you might be interested in. We go over Silent Service, most of Space Battleship Yamato 2199, and the first half of Fullmetal Alchemist of all things. The main feature is a review of Michiko & Hatchin, a hot-blooded action show set in “Brazil”. Her name’s Michiko she is loco I said oh no. Here’s our thoughts on the matter, what are yours? https://archive.org/download/AnibrosPodcast/Podcast36-MichikoAndHatchin.mp3 Download MP3 Here

This week, along with the usual anime chatter that you know and love, we bring you a review of Giant Robo the Animation: The Day the Earth Stood Still. For a super robot anime, it’s surprisingly deep! Much to our delight we’re joined again by the handy Pat “Don’t Call Me Willis” Willis. We forgot to mention this, but for those of you who enjoy English dubs, this series has two of them. Thanks for listening, tell a friend and leave a comment. EVERYTHING FOR BIG FIRE! http://archive.org/download/AnibrosPodcast/Podcast35-GiantRoboFeatPatrick.mp3 Download MP3 Here

This week we’ve got Patrick W. joining us in the hot seat with a nice treat, and that is a review of Wolf Children Ame and Yuki. Did you know this was the only original anime film in 2012? We just learned that while writing this post actually. It’s also guaranteed to get those tears out of your body. Makes you want to call your mom right? We think this movie is good, to find out just how good listen to the episode. By the way our Space Brothers dub is blowing up so be sure to check it out. http://archive.org/download/AnibrosPodcast/Podcast34-WolfChildrenAmeAndYukiFeatPatrick.mp3 Download MP3 Here

Like a welcome cover of clouds on a hot summer day, please allow our report of Kumoricon 2013 to soothe your body. We attended this anime convention once again and what a scoop we got! Don’t deny yourself this. Say it with me, PATRIIIIIII- nobody else thinks this is funny do they? I-it’s not like we recorded too much audio or anything. In OUR opinion it’s even better than any previous episode that may have been about the same convention! P.S. our manga Smartular and our video Anime Jeopardy. http://archive.org/download/AnibrosPodcast/Podcast33-Kumoricon2013Review.mp3 Download MP3 Here

Whoa and wow, welcome to Anibros! We grab Patrick again and review Flowers of Evil and talk about a bunch of other anime we’re watching. You won’t want to miss our exciting opinions on all the hottest airing series, or our gripping explanations of Nadia: Secret of Blue Water and Suisei no Gargantia even though we haven’t finished watching either of those. It’s rough growing up in Japan, you don’t even know. Along with this great new episode we also have a new website and all kinds of big plans for the upcoming Kumoricon. If you’ll be in Vancouver, WA during Labor Day weekend come have fun at our anime jeopardy panel on August 31st. Don’t miss it! If you do miss it though we’ll understand. http://archive.org/download/AnibrosPodcast/Podcast31-FlowersOfEvilFeatPatrick.mp3 Download MP3 Here

Those Anibros have rolled back into town and they’re hooting and hollering about a new show. That’s right, Stella Women’s Academy, High School Division Class C3 has captured Laven’s heart and he tells all just how wonderful these guns (and to a lesser extent, girls) are. Welcome to the jungle! I will survive! Two tastes that go great together?! It’s more likely than you think. We also go on about No Matter How I Look At It, It’s You Guys’ Fault I’m Unpopular! and a few other airing shows that left an impression. Between you and me, this episode is a little out of date already because right after we recorded it we immediately watched a lot more stuff so I’m hoping as much as you are that the next episode comes very soon. Until then here’s your fix! Be sure to subscribe via RSS and follow us on twitter. http://archive.org/download/AnibrosPodcast/Podcast30-StellaImpressionsAndWhatever.mp3 Download MP3 Here

In this episode we recognize some recent anime with well thought-out and meaningful honors in our first seasonal awards ceremony. Spring 2013 was host to some very animated productions and we at Anibros look forward to each and every show next season as well. The suspense is killing these three, how about you? On top of “covering” two seasons in one shorter-ish episode, we also may have avoided spoiling anything! Let us know what you’re watching. http://archive.org/download/AnibrosPodcast/Podcast29-Spring2013.mp3 Download MP3 Here

Laven’s cousin is moving to Japan and has given us his anime collection to keep an eye on. We take inventory of everything and discuss manga, anime DVDs, VHS, novels, art books, bootlegs, and more. We’re not bragging that this haul is mind-blowing or anything, pretty sure he just handed this stuff over out of pity because he’s gonna have first dibs on the good stuff from now on. http://archive.org/download/AnibrosPodcast/Podcast28-LavensBigHaul.mp3 Download MP3 Here

The Anibros are back in the saddle with a review of Shinkai Makoto’s newest film Garden of Words. They also do a semi-review of America’s favorite animated film Spirited Away, so get hyped! This little thumbnail doesn’t fully represent how pretty that damn tree is. I don’t know what else to tell you this time, except to remind you to get at us with review suggestions. http://archive.org/download/AnibrosPodcast/Podcast27-GardenOfWords.mp3 Download MP3 Here

In this episode we’re joined once again by special guest Pat AKA Patrick 2.0 AKA P-Willie in order to discuss Robotics;Notes. We love previous entry in the series Steins;Gate and we love robots, so this show should go over like gangbusters, right? Genki girl Akiho enthusiastically presents Gunbuild-2. Listen in as we explore some of the show’s sticking points and fight over whether it’s great or terrible. And if you’re on twitter, follow us already! http://archive.org/download/AnibrosPodcast/Podcast26-RoboticsNotesFeatPatrick.mp3 Download MP3 Here

To celebrate the BD/DVD release of Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo the Anibros (along with both of the Patricks and Laven’s cousin) held a private screening of the film in the theater of a local university. After experiencing it, we went outside and talked about the impact it left on us with good friend of the show Patrick 2.0. Both of you, play piano like you want to win! By the way if you haven’t seen the movie, the first 7 minutes of this podcast are spoiler-free! http://archive.org/download/AnibrosPodcast/Podcast25-Evangelion3FeatPatrick.mp3 Download MP3 Here

You wanted the best, you got the best!! And by best we mean random anime discussion! Wait, don’t leave, because we’ve got Patrick 2.0 AKA D-Pat on the mic and the three of us weigh in on topics such as Psycho-Pass, Ghibli films, Robotics;Notes, visual novels, and Super Sentai! We don’t mention the great Municipal Force Daitenzin though. So have lots of fun listening to what is definitely a real episode and not just outtakes from the previous episode pasted together. Thank you! http://archive.org/download/AnibrosPodcast/Podcast23-WorldOfSentaiFeatPatrick.mp3 Download MP3 Here

This time we are joined by special guest Patrick. No, not THAT Patrick. The new Patrick suggested that we watch They Were 11, yet another classic anime film we were blissfully unaware of. The three of us give our opinions on the flick and a slew of other topics as well. These ten must brave the entrance exam for Cosmo Academy. We got derailed pretty hard for at least another half hour so we’ll spare you our discussion on video games and super sentai. Unless you’re into that sort of thing… then let us know. http://archive.org/download/AnibrosPodcast/Podcast22-TheyWere11FeatPatrick.mp3 Download MP3 Here

Way back in 2012, we sat down with Pat and Mr. Gentleman to watch some Grade-A anime, because that’s what people do at a New Year’s Eve party right? You might remember the first one we watched but we also viewed Aikatsu! which eventually translates to “Idol Activities.” This gave Pat the chance to literally sing his heart out and see if he had what it takes to be an idol! The smile exam is gonna be tough this year! We apologize for not including a lyrics sheet. Feel free to lip-synch; no one will ever know. http://archive.org/download/AnibrosPodcast/Podcast19-LetsWatchAikatsuFeatPatFeatMrGentleman.mp3 Download MP3 Here

This episode is brought to you by our sheer determination to buckle down and watch all four episodes of the original OVA series You’re Under Arrest! We then took time out of our busy day of watching other anime to review and give our impressions of these women in uniform. Miyuki on the left is in charge of acceleration, and Natsumi on the right is in charge of brakes. Feel free to keep track at home how many times a perp is placed “Under Arrest!” http://archive.org/download/AnibrosPodcast/Podcast21-YoureUnderArrest.mp3 Download MP3 Here

This week we bring to you the thrilling conclusion to the night we watched anime with Pat and Mike (parts one and two of this trilogy). We finish things off with a little Code Breaker, or CØDE:BREAKER as it likes to be called. The show gets much better if you imagine it as a parody of the superpower/action/shounen genre. This guy can pet a dog, he must be all right. So set aside half an hour for laughs and get ready to find out who (if anyone) doesn’t get burned. http://archive.org/download/AnibrosPodcast/Podcast13-LetsWatchCodeBreakerFeatPatFeatMike.mp3 Download MP3 Here

The Anibros are back in action and armed with their opinions on Royal Space Force: The Wings of Honneamise. It’s a sci-fi movie from 1987 about the first astronaut in an alternate universe. It’s one of Laven’s favorites, and since he had already seen it we decided to talk about it. Is it as good as they say? Let’s find out! This review is pretty comprehensive so there are some “spoilers I guess.” So go ahead and watch Wings of Honneamise first if you haven’t yet but were just about to. If you weren’t about to, just listen to this episode and save yourself an hour. http://archive.org/download/AnibrosPodcast/Podcast20-WingsOfHonneamise.mp3 Download MP3 Here

In our continuing adventures with Pat and Mike, we watch and review the recent hit Girls Und Panzer. Will these schoolgirls and their tanks manage to win us over or will we spend the whole episode making fun of them? Listen for the unsurprising but hilarious result! Here we can see the girls and panzer in their natural habitat.
