This year, Go Nagai's magical super heroine turned 50 years old! So what better time to have an episode in her honor? And joining me to talk all about her is No. 1 English-speaking Cutie Honey Fan (who has worked on many official American Cutie Honey releases!), Salvatore (aka @retrosofa)! We discuss not only the history of the franchise, but how even though Honey is a pulpy, sexy, and sometimes goofy Magical Girl originally created for boys, she influenced the Magical Girl genre in all sorts of ways we're still seeing today! Also in this episode: the decades-long argument of if Honey even counts as a magical girl, the appeal of giant Go Nagai monster women, and answering all your questions in this extra-long episode!

The Anime Nostalgia Podcast - Ep 54

 

  iTunes & Stitcher subscribers! Be sure to go to the blog to read the description easier & check out links for this episode!

This month’s podcast episode is a double feature! First, returning guest Nitro & I discuss the Atsuko Tanaka panel from this year’s AnimeFest convention, as she’s a very prolific animator who’s worked on many notable things--including working with Hayao Miyazaki on his various Lupin III works! And speaking of Lupin, this month was Lupin’s 50th Anniversary! So part 2 of the podcast is me, Nitro, and returning guest Tricia (aka boobly) to chit-chat & ramble about Lupin as a franchise & what we love (and maybe don’t love so much) about it.
