Before we had things like Toonami and Adult Swim, anime fans spent their Saturdays huddled around the TV watching a block of anime called Saturday Anime on the Sci-Fi Channel (way back in the days when it wasn't spelled "SyFy"). Returning guest Zee and I reminisce about the programing, the impact it made, and yes; even Apollo Smile: The Live-Action Anime Girl.

The Anime Nostalgia Podcast ep 07

 

Just in time for Halloween, this episode is all about Ghost in the Shell!...ok, so Ghost in the Shell has little to do with Ghosts (or Shells!) But in this episode, returning guest NewtypeLady (who you might remember from my Gundam episode not too long ago) & I talk about the legacy of Masamune Shirow's 80s cyberpunk classic, and the many incarnations of it and The Major. Listen as we talk about philosophy, Mamoru Oshii's dog, and what a surprisingly great role-model Major Motoko Kusanagi is for women & cyborgs everywhere.
