Osmcast! Anime, Video Games, Interviews, And More!

It's Christmas in Febua- We mean March! Yes, that's right. You heard us. Or rather, this is our 2021 AGC Secret Santa episode. Only three months late. For us, this is pretty timely. So, what are we talking about this time? Why it's the anime Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit! It was animated by Production I.G directed by Kenji Kamiyama (back when he did awesome stuff), based on a novel series by Nahoko Uehashi.OSMnotesSpeaking of timely, this episode was recorded in January so things may not be as rosy as we hoped they would be. If you are interested in donating to help support Ukraine, Zepla on twitter has tweeted out several ways you can help. Also, today they announced that Crunchyroll gets to absorb Funimation as a treat, so if you have a Funimation Now subscription you should probably cancel that soon. But don't worry, Moribito is on HiDIVE! Which is now owned by AMC Networks. Anyway, have some Time Cues:We Start OSMcast!ing – 0:00General Gabbing, Vinnie and Crepe Day – 0:33OSMplugs (Discord, Patreon) – 5

Well, here it is. Three interviews, and now four episodes later, we are now at the current conclusion of the OSM of Evangelion Project. (We say current, because you never know when John will stealth drop yet another interview out of the blue!) We have talked about the original show, the End of Eva movies, the previous Rebuilds, and now this. The final Rebuild of Evangelion film, Evangelion: 3.0+1.01 Thrice Upon a Time. Bye bye all of Evangelion OSMcast!s (for now)! OSMnotesWhile sure maybe we mention Centaurworld was our next episode at the end, and it was the next show we recorded... Our next release should theoretically be us finally catching up with our Anime Secret Santa episode all about Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit! So until then, have some Time Cues:We Start OSMcast!ing – 00:00General Gabbing – 00:45Moments of OSM – 09:02Life is Strange: True Colors – 09:50Final Fantasy II Pixel Remaster – 13:00Scarlet Nexus – 17:30Nvidia's GeForce Now Game List Leak – 21:50Doug’s Aquarium at Mystic Sisters Tattoos

Happy December! Hope everyone is doing well. Maybe catching up on some Netflix, perchance? Possibly enjoying the latest installment of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Stone Ocean. If so, we got some great news for you. We have a very recently done OSMinterview, where John gets to talk with one amazing Kira Buckland! Who is, coincidentally, the voice of Jolyne Cujoh. But has also portrayed voices of many others, like Mitsuri Kanroji in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, 2B in Nier: Automata, Trucy Wright in the Ace Attorney series, and ton of others. OSMnotesWe want to thank Kira Buckland once again for taking the time to chat with us!

Would you believe it, another Evangelion podcast!? It's true! Originally, the plan was to do a podcast on just 1.11 and 2.22 together. But we soon discovered by the time we were done talking about 1.11... We had already spent a whole podcast on it! We just could not advance to talk about Eva 2.22. Who would have thought? Anyhow, enjoy yet another OSMcast!, where we talk about the second movie in the Rebuild of Evangelion series. OSMnotesBoy Square-Enix keeps on wanting to hang out with us! Last episode, it came out the day Sora is announced for Smash. Today, the Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker Media Tour's embargo has lifted so there is a ton of great video footage of the new jobs and things out. But over here? It's all LCL up in here.

September 1, 2007. The Earth changed. It experienced a cataclysmic event that is known known as Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone. Then later it hit DVD and Blu-Ray and was was retitled as Evangelion: 1.01 then later still, 1.11. At the time of this podcast, it is now still 1.11, but is now on Amazon Prime Video. It still believed to (not) be alone. As it has the other three movies also on Amazon Prime Video. Chances are by the time you are approaching this episode, you know about Eva's whole deal. Nevertheless, please enjoy this podcast in the OSM of Evangelion series. OSMnotesSo Sora's in Smash, huh? Well that is a thing that also happened today. Not that we knew that going into this podcast. Also, not that would have changed anything! Or that you should join the Discord or support us on Patreon. Nor would it change these Time Cues:We Start OSMcast!ing – 00:00General Gabbing – 00:38Moments of OSM – 4:54Getter Robo Arc – 5:23Final Fantasy I Pixel Remaster - 8:15The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles - 16:18Cent

The OSM of Evangelion just keeps on rolling on as this whole interview train continues! Before we pull into the station and start releasing the episodes on the Rebuild movies, John once again surprises us in just the best ways. This time, he sits down at the virtual table with the returning champion and all around treasure, Amanda Winn Lee. You may know her best as the voice of Rei Ayanami in both the original ADV Films dub of Neon Genesis Evangelion and the End of Evangelion, along with the Amazon Prime Video dubs of the Rebuild Movies. However, she is also the voice of Yukiko Amagi from Persona 4, Rally Vincent from Gunsmith Cats, and just all around a great mom. And finally, someone that can explain whatever the hell Delta 8 is!  (Does contain Evangelion 1.0+3.0 Thrice Upon Some Spoilers)OSMnotesWe want to thank Amanda Winn Lee once again for taking the time to chat with us! We also want to say hey, if you have some donating cash for a good cause, please check out the Lady Eva Pilot Halloween Slumber Party

So there you are, chillin' on the roof of the school, as you do. Just going about your day, getting the latest instalment of the The OSM of Evangelion  series prepped for release. Then, out of the blue, comes in something just incredibly unexpected yet entirely welcomed. Just right on top of you. That was John yesterday with a fresh OSMinterview in virtual hand. He got the chance to talk with just the delightful Deneen Melody, who you may know now as the voice of Mari Illustrious-Makinami from the Amazon Prime dubs of the Rebuild of Evangelion films. But can also hear her as Zoé Lee aka Vesperia* in Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir, May in Pokémon Masters EX, and in all sorts of things! (Does contain Evangelion 1.0+3.0 Thrice Upon Some Spoilers)*Ok so maybe not that Vesperia. But as far as we can tell, Deneen Melody is pretty magical and is also a legit faerie... So maybe she is actually that Vesperia, too?OSMnotesWe want to thank Deneen Melody once again for taking the time to chat with us! And he

As the OSM of Evangelion continues, John sits down at virtual interview table with the voice of the ADV/Rebuild movies' Shinji Ikari, Spike Spencer! But unlike Shinji, Spike has no issues getting into the robot. In fact, he tends to get into lots of them! He's also a public speaker, voice coach, life coach, podcaster, real estate investor, just all sort of robots to get into. But what you should get into right now, is this interview! (Does contain Evangelion 1.0+3.0 Thrice Upon Some Spoilers)OSMnotesWe want to thank Spike Spencer once again for taking the time to chat with us! And did we mention that he gets into all the robots? He does!

September 13, 2000. The Earth changed. It experienced a cataclysmic event that is known known as The Second Impact. Or it did in another world, another time. In this time, it's August 24th, 2021. In this world, all of Evangelion can now be streamed in the United States.  With Netflix having the Evangelion TV show along with The End of Evangelion movies, and Amazon Prime Video having the Rebuild movies. So, on this day, in this world, we have begun the OSM of Evangelion Podcast Series. Four podcasts worth, to talk about this landmark show and movie franchise. For the first episode we are talking about the Neon Genesis Evangelion TV series, along with The End of Evangelion movie. Written, directed, and lived by Hideaki Anno and animated by studio Gainax (along with assistance by studio Tatsunoko for the TV series, and Production I.G for the End of Evangelion movie).OSMnotesFirst off, we want to say just BIG OL' HAPPY BIRTHDAYS to own nakama John Robbins! As well as fellow anime podcaster Austin from the Third I

Every once in a while, a show will come out of nowhere. And just, I dunno, slap you upside the head with it's goodness? But that slap, it's not always so fast. Sometimes, you get that slow slap. But when that slap hurts, it hurts so good. That's ODDTAXI. Or Odd Taxi, which is an easier way to read it. It's an anime that's a gritty noir about a taxi driver and the people he takes places. The driver, is also a walrus. The show is about a lot of things. Oddly enough, so is this podcast!OSMnotesFirst, here's a few things that we talked about in reference to ODDTAXI in the podcast!Interview: ODDTAXI Director Baku KinoshitaOdd Taxi Character Kabasawa's Twitter Account References Anime's Events in Real TimeSecond, in case you thought we were kidding about letting you pick what Kevin eats via the Patreon? Oh don't worry, we weren't! You can make that happen RIGHT NOW! (Or well, three months from now if you start donating today...) And also don't forget to join our Discord, and see what food the rest of us are eating!

So it's 2021 and supposedly things are returning to some semblance of, what some may call, normal. However, as it turns out, normal is still a ways away. And of course we know that because of video games! For example, E3. Usually the Electronic Entertainment Expo is a ginormous in person event with crazy press conferences, announcements,  and media and people on Twitch and YouTube playing all these vertical slices of games that may or may not be real.But not this year. This year it was all digital, where everyone stayed home and just watched the press conferences online like everyone else. And it became clear that not everyone decided to Bring Their "A" Game. And that's OK. Neither did we!OSMnotesSo that was E3! Kinda. In an hour or so in podcast form. If you want to talk to us about it, head over to our Discord! Or throw us a review on the Apple Podcasts with 5 stars. Or just I dunno... Donate to our Patreon? That would be cool.

So as it turns out, getting a puppy and seasonal allergies is a terrible combo, we do not recommend it. But with anime cons slowly returning to us, why not take a trip back to memory lane? That's right, we're back to our second episode of our OSMquest Kawaii Caper series! This time, we wrap up Thursday night and get into some Friday shenanigans. Cosplayers! A Dealer's Room! PANELS. And more!  Kawaii Caper is made by Ettin64, as a hack of Grant Howitt’s Honey Heist. It is the mid 2000’s in the beforetimes when anime conventions are still a thing and not a way to exacerbate a deadly public health crisis. CRONCH, the local anime convention in your mid-sized southern town is in its third year, and has unexpectedly risen to regional prominence. And with that prominence comes sweet, sweet swag. It would be such a shame if something… or someone… would happen to it. (Spoilers: We are those someones.) 

Ever wonder what's next in life? Perhaps even in the next life? Sure, reincarnation is a possibly, but have you ever considered reincarnating into a JRPG? Chances are you have as the genre of isekai is now an anime ever-presence, and people are just dying all over the place to score some sweet levels! But if you ever had to pick only one series to follow, might we suggest the series That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime? It's a light novel series by Fuse and illustrated by Mitz Vah, but also comes in both anime and manga varieties! The anime is developed by studio Eight Bit, and the manga is illustrated by Taiki Kawakami.PS I know it's listed in the Time Cues but do not sleep on preordering Dear Brother that show is so good you don't even know. Unless you do know, and have already preordered it.OSMnotesSo if you listen to this episode, we talk about puppies. And as Puppy Fever has caught on, it also grabbed Basil and Anna quite strongly. In short, they also have a new puppy! And well... As it turns out, get

Well just gosh golly gee do we have a podcast-a-rooney for you! Wait, was any of those actual words? And based on what AWO says, should we have called it a podcast-a-rooni? Either way, one of the shows that has really captured the imagination of a lot of folks in the year 2021 was been this Marvel Studios show on Disney+. It's called WandaVision, directed by Matt Shakman and written by Jac Schaeffer.Chances are, you've heard about it! In fact it's highly likely you have already watched it. And as is turns out, we have too! We liked it a lot, so much we went and made a podcast about it. It's just like... way out, man. OSMnotesSo may have listened to this episode and wondered just where could one find this WandaVision show? Well wonder no more, as it's on Disney+! ... You probably already knew that though, didn't you? You probably did. But maybe you didn't know we have a Discord (we do!)? Come on and join us and talk about anime and food and stuff. And you definitely didn't know that you can leave us reviews on

So as 2021 keeps rolling and as vaccinations seem more like actual things and not just dreams, we decided to look back to the times when anime cons were still a thing. But with a twist!  For our new OSMquest mini-series we are playing Kawaii Caper by Ettin64, as a hack of Grant Howitt's Honey Heist. It is the mid 2000’s in the beforetimes when anime conventions are still a thing and not a way to exacerbate a deadly public health crisis. CRONCH, the local anime convention in your mid-sized southern town is in its third year, and has unexpectedly risen to regional prominence. And with that prominence comes sweet, sweet swag. It would be such a shame if something... or someone... would happen to it. (Spoilers: We are those someones.)  

It may not seem like it, but this is a podcast about hype and expectations. About how one can get so excited for something, then be utterly betrayed by it. But also how, upon a second viewing, one can then feel much better about the thing. But still feel betrayed! Yet, before the terrible betrayal, there is still a whole lot to enjoy about the thing. This thing is an anime CG movie called Dragon Quest: Your Story. Created by the animation studio Shirogumi, and directed and kinda written by Takashi Yamazaki. We say kinda, as it's very much based on the story of Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride. But not... entirely. OSMnotesSo yeah, Dragon Quest: Your Story sure is a movie and you can watch it on Netflix. And you should! ... Mostly. Probably! And once you do, let us know what you thought of it over at our Discord! As well as any of the other things we talked about, which are listed in our Time Cues:We Start OSMcast!ing – 00:00General Gabbing – 00:32Moments of OSM – 02:45Laid-Back Camp Season 2 - 02:57

Plans are made. Then life happens! Plans are dashed. New plans are made. And while all that is happening, a whole lot of news happened! So we decided to talk about those things. Think of them like the friends we made along the way! We took those friends and bundled them up into a podcast. For you! Our friends, that are hopefully bundled up warm because it could be cold outside, and are listening. Perhaps the metaphor has long been lost now, but have a podcast on nerd stories this week!OSMnotesSo how did you enjoy the episode? Liked it? Hated it? Let us know! Poke us on twitter! Join the Discord! You could even comment on the post, but who even reads these things anyway? Well, if you are one of those you may would like some Time Cues: We Start OSMcast!ing – 00:00General Gabbing – 00:37The World of OSM Returns!, aka OSMnews – 2:19Anime, Animation, and Fraiser News – 2:32Final Evangelion Film is Finally Coming Out...

Oh, would you look at the time! As it so happens, almost a year ago we did a podcast on an anime movie from Science Saru, directed by Masaaki Yuasa, about folks and the ocean. So what better time to talk about an anime movie from Science Saru, directed by Masaaki Yuasa, about folks and the ocean! Only this time, it's the movie Lu Over the Wall. It's about a Tokyo kid stuck in a sleepy ocean town. It's full of fun, dancing, and as it turns out... mild potential horror?Now maybe you you'd think, "Oh, there is no way someone can make two anime movies about the ocean that also have a very heavy music component and yet be all kinds of different!" Well, to that we would love to introduce this director guy. His name is Masaaki Yuasa, and he is a mad genius. This is a podcast about an anime movie he directed, with the studio Science Saru.OSMnotesSo many ways to watch this movie right now! It's on Netflix, or you can just buy the dang thing on Blu-ray! (Basil swore he saw it on HBO Max, but it gone now.) Ho
