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

Welcome to 2019, everybody! We are just so glad you could make it. In honor of such an auspicious occasion, we have an episode we recorded back in November of 2018! It's actually a whole new format! Kinda. Since our uh, "acquisition" of the Chainsaw Buffet Podcast a short while ago, I have these amazing guys on occasion to gab with. So we decided that whenever we can pin them down (usually at cons), we will! And we did. So here is an episode with mostly the TN Crew! It's all very exciting. OSMnotes! Time Cues? Time Cues! We start the OSMcasting – 0:00 General Gabbing - 0:46 Charlie Got Married! - 03:54 Moments of OSM – 08:09 Smash Ultimate – 08:29 Assassin’s Creed Odyssey on Google Stream Beta – 12:56 Work – 17:38 Stardew Valley – 18:25 Marvel vs Capcom Infinite – 23:31 Who do you want to see as a DLC character for Smash Brothers? – 39:16

Hello world! The OSMcast is back yet again with questions and answers, but we're asking the questions here this time! That's our deal! Well, we struck a dark bargain with Erika Harlacher, at any rate. What was that dark, terrible bargain? That we could ask her questions, and she would give us answers! All in all, it was a pretty sweet deal. Now, you may wonder whom this Erika Harlacher is. Do not fret, for we shall tell you! She is an amazing voice actress, that has done many a cool Japanese animation. Things like oh I dunno... Violet Evergarden in Violet Evergarden? Or perhaps Jeanne d'Arc (Ruler) in Fate/Apocrypha would be more your speed. Netflix folks (aka everyone) would recognize her from her role of  Elizabeth Liones in The Seven Deadly Sins? I particularly enjoyed her work as Kurapika in Hunter x Hunter!But let's face facts, I'm sure everyone really recognizes her as  Ann Takamaki in the smash hit video software known as Persona 5. And that is perfectly fine.

So back in the far flung past (last month or so*) we solicited questions from the people. Mostly on Twitter. Also via spamming Third Impact Anime's Facebook Community. These are those questions. And our answers! In December. Look, time is an illusion, we all know this.  *Pretty sure the idea was to record in October, then release in November? But now it's December. Hi December!  OSMnotes Ryan is a pretty cool dude and you can check out his Twitter right here! Thanks everyone for sending in questions! Some, we'll have to come back to you all on them. As some are really whole episode topics in their own right (Looking at you, Top Ten Anime Betrayals)! But until next time, have some Time Cues: We start the OSMcasting – 0:00General Gabbing - 0:36New Podcast Announcement – 01:35"Acquisition" of Chainsaw Buffet! – 03:18Our Triumphant Return to iTunes! – 05:01Moments of OSM – 08:35The MISSING: J.J.

Hi everybody! This time around we have got yet another awesome interview for you! At Hamacon 9, we had the chance to sit down with Marianne Miller, whom you may remember from our previous interview, but more likely remember her from her roles on shows like Little Witch Academia, or FLCL Alternative. Either way, enjoy! Warning of Triggers: We do go down some dark rabbit holes. Maybe all of them? certainty a bunch of them. It's an excellent listen, but be forewarned! OSMnotes Thanks once again to Marianne Miller for the chance to chat! Also, welcome back everybody! With the FFXIV FanFest done, and Thanksgiving, and half the crew getting sick in between... it's been rough. But we have some awesome episodes already and lined up for the next few weeks, so get ready!

OK so, we here at the OSMcast are not exactly a um, well. dealers in the visual medium. We deal more in the business of audio. If we were a Transformer, we'd be best represented by Blaster or Soundwave. Really what we are getting at here is that this episode is a whole audio feast about a visual medium known as costume play. You know, cosplay. Specially, an interview with the wonderful cosplayers Scissor Wizard Cosplay and Lula Cosplay. There were the cosplay guests for Hamacon 9, and we were very happy to chat with them about costuming. OSMnotes Thank you to both Lula Cosplay as well as Scissor Wizard Cosplay for talking with us! You can follow Scissor Wizard Cosplay on Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr, and YouTube! You can also find Lula Cosplay on Facebook, as well as Instagram, Twitter, and check out her store on Etsy! If you happen to be in North Alabama this weekend, Lulu Cosplay will be at the Hamacon Minicon 2018, selling amazing things and also running a workshop about making kanzashi flowers~ Also Basil

When we last checked into the Momocon Indie Games area when they started in 2015, we covered 18 games. Well, now it's 2018! So how many games did we check out in this year's Momocon? counts 23? GOOD LORD. Here's our takes on said 23 games, live from the archives during Momocon 2018.

In this latest and greatest of the OSMcast, we have yet another OSMinterview! John sat down with the one and only Austin Tindle, a voice-over artist that has been in many a great anime. He was folks like Crowley Eusford (Seraph of the End), Ken Kaneki (Tokyo Ghoul), Marco Bodt (Attack on Titan), Karma Akabane (Assassination Classroom), Avilio Bruno (91 Days), and more! So stay a while and listen~ OSMnotes Thank you Austin for chatting with us! If you haven't yet, check him out on Twitter! And while you're at it, check out John's Twitter, too. And speaking of Hamacon, they've got thier one day Minicon coming up in November! If you happen to see around North Alabama at the time, you should go. Next time on the OSMcast, we'll be digging into the backlog and releasing our take on all the indie games we saw this past Momocon! We'll see you next week.

OK folks strap in, because we are about to get up into some serious moon power. That's right, we are talking about the animated sensation that's bigger than Power Rangers and Turtles COMBINED. Aw yea, we are talking about everyone's favorite, Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon! Well, the movies anyway! We recently got to catch theatrical release of Sailor Moon R, S, AND SuperS and we just couldn't wait to yammer about them on a microphone. Please share and enjoy! OSMnotes Out of the three, you can buy Sailor Moon movies R and S pretty easily! SuperS will be along soon though, we're sure. Sailor Moon R: The Movie - Amazon | RightStuf Sailor Moon S: The Movie - Amazon | RightStuf You ever think we would be smart to look into any form of referral links for these things? Geez, that would be smart! Oh well, maybe next time? Probably not. Meanwhile, here have some Time Cues: We start the OSMcasting – 00:00 General Gabbing - 00:43 Minecraft Watch – 01:51 Pokemon News – 03:55 Final Fantasy XIV (Stormblood) Minute

Why hello there! We're glad you could make it! Because we had the chance to sit down with Denmo Mcstronghuge and chat a little bit in June during Hamacon 9. Denmo is a YouTube/Twitter/Twitch sensation that  makes with the Final Fantasy XIV funnies and jokes. You may even find him scampering across Eorzea as his buddy Mr Face. Sometimes he even plays other video games! You should also make sure to listen all the way to the end. You'll be glad you did! Protip: We were/are trying to play around with a new travel mic and the settings somehow got jumbled. So you make need to raise the volume on it here and there.

Same show, new podcast, and a slightly different way to title them! So let's get to the whole point here. We have an episode of the OSMcast! right here, for you, about Aggretsuko! That wonderful rocking red panda pal from our friends at Sanrio. The show is on Netflix, made by the studio Fanworks, and directed by Rarecho. We also talk about other things! Which you can find out about by listening to the episode! Or check the Time Cues, but that's not nearly as much fun! OSMnotes! Hope you like Netflix! Chances are, even if you don't, you have Netflix anyway. So go hit up some Aggretsuko, why don'tcha! Oh, here is that link to the Guardian article we talked about during the show!

Protip: This was recorded in a hotel room at 3AM+ in the morning, so the the audio is not always the best. That's mostly due to the whole hotel room thing, though!

So why not tackle a podcast in 2017 with the anime everyone has been talking about??

So speaking of Momocon, this was the first year where they really blew up their video gaming to something truly huge. Something special. they called it the MGX, or Momocon Gaming Experience. Not only was there tons of tabletop gaming to be had, or console gaming, or even an arcade, as they had all of these things. But what Momocon also had, was an indies space for video games. And along with our pals from Chainsaw Buffet, we played almost all of them. These are those stories. As recorded late at night during some night at Momocon. OSMnotes GOOD GRAVY there were a bunch of games at Momocon this year! Frankly, I have no idea how those actual video game sites cover even bigger shows like E3! Wait, I think they get paid though... huh. Oh well! Of course, thanks to the Chainsaw Boys for helping us cover all these games! But you did not come here for this part of the OSMnotes, clearly. What you want, are those Time Cues: We start the OSMcast!ing – 0:00 General Gabbing at Momocon 2015 – 00:56 We're talking about

Long time, no podcast? Well, let's fix that! We're going to start with an OSMinterview we did with Greg Weisman during this year's Momocon along with the Chainsaw Buffet podcast. Greg Weisman was one of the co-creators of Disney animated series Gargoyles, and also worked on Young Justice, as well as Star Wars Rebels. We talk to him about all those things, but we also chatted about his books Rain of the Ghosts, as well as it's sequel book Spirits of Ash and Foam. OSMnotes Firstly, big thanks to both Greg Weisman and Momocon for making the interview possible. You should all check out his books! Basil sure did, and will probably report back in on those soon enough. Secondly, hi we're back! And we even have a second episode being prepped for next week! So that's exciting.

In our final interview of the MTAC 15 to Life Series, we got found out who Erica Mendez's Love Live is! Oh, I guess we should mention that Erica Mendez is the voice over artist of Aladdin in the Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic series as well as Ryuko Matoi in Kill la Kill. But importantly, we find out who her favorite Love Live is. Because We Know What Anitwitter Wants™. Of course we talk about her adventures in the acting of voices over things, as well as video games, and Mobile Fighter G Gundam! You know, all the finer things in life. This happened at MTAC 15 to Life, in a press conference style sort of the affair along with the Chainsaw Buffet and some other wonderful folks. Please, have a listen. OSMnotes We have switched hosting! The OSMcast is now powered by simplecast.fm. What this means is that in May/June we will be switching RSS feeds! So if you would like to switch your RSS now, that might make things easier for the future! That said, we have been able to switch it already over at Sticher. They’re goo

In our second interview of the MTAC 15 to Life Series, we had the wonderful chance to chat with Tiffany Grant. While best known for her role in Neon Genesis Evangelion,as Asuka, she has also been a ton of other roles! From as early as Kome Sawaguchi in Blue Seed (1996), to even Lune from The World God Only Knows (2015), Tiffany Grant is one of the most decorated Voice Over Artists around. So it was extremely thrilling to gotten to have talked with. About all sorts of things, from Hello Kitty, to speaking German, to Hello Kitty some more. Possibly while speaking German. Oh, and some things about voice acting in anime, too. Sure. This happened at MTAC 15 to Life, in a press conference style sort of the affair along with the Chainsaw Buffet and some other wonderful folks. Please, have a listen. OSMnotes We have switched hosting! The OSMcast is now powered by simplecast.fm. What this means is that in May/June we will be switching RSS feeds!
