The Anime Nostalgia Podcast - ep 103: Roujin Z Talk with Paul Chapman

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

The Saturday Anime series is back! These are episodes where we talk about anime that aired on the Saturday Anime block of Sci-Fi Channel back in the 90s on US Cable TV. This month just happens to be the 30th anniversary of Katsuhiro Otomo's Roujin Z, so what better time to revisit it? And joining me is new guest to the show, from The Greatest Movie Ever Podcast, it's Paul Chapman! Listen as we discuss how well the movie's social commentary has aged, why it's ok that it wasn't the "next Akira", and lamenting the fact that we're definitely getting older. Mild spoilers for the basic plot throughout, with spoilers for the ending starting around the 55:01 mark.

The Anime Nostalgia Podcast - ep 89: Whisper of the Heart 25th Anniversary with Nitro

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

25 years ago today, Studio Ghibli gave us Yoshifumi Kondo's first (and sadly, only) directorial debut film: Whisper of the Heart! And with Studio Ghibli's movie catalog finally streaming on various online platforms around the world, what better time to revisit this beautiful love letter to art and the creative process? With me to gush for several hours about just how much I adore this movie is returning champ Nitro of MDiskPlaylist! Listen as we discuss why Shizuku is one of the most relatable Ghibli heroines for us personally, how it's filled with whimsical Ghibli magic regardless of it's seemingly more down-to-earth story, and just rambling incoherently in general about how much we love it. All this, singing, and answering your listener questions, too!

This month’s episode is another ReView! What is a “ReView” episode, you might ask? Well, it’s my highly-clever (ok not really) title for episodes where I go back and watch an older title I haven’t seen in a long time, and see if what I remember (and what my opinions on it) are still the same now that some time’s gone by. Funimation recently announced they’d picked up the original Record of Lodoss War anime, but did you know that there are other series out there tied to Lodoss? This month I revisit one of those with The Legend of Crystania: The Motion Picture!
