This month, I'm joined by returning champion Tricia to check out the brand new Mappa-animated Rose of Versailles anime film on Netflix. Released a whopping 46 years after it's first anime adaptation (and a musical to boot?!), what do we, as Rose of Versailles fans, think of this new vision of Oscar & company? Well...it definitely surprised us, alright, but it also left us asking quite a lot of questions. Listen in as we discuss what we thought worked, what we thought didn't, and answer your burning questions--like what other anime & manga should get musicals!

The Anime Nostalgia Podcast ep 01 - Convention Talk with CandyAppleCat

It's finally here! The revamped Anime Nostalgia Podcast! In this episode, I talk to longtime fan & friend of mine, Heather (aka @CandyAppleCat). She's been going to A-kon longer than I have (since I just moved here about 5 years ago), so we talk about this years A-kon as compared to ones prior. I pick Heather's brain about how she got into anime, her feelings on fansubbing today, and various similar topics--as well as the recent resurgence of popularity for things like Ranma 1/2, Sailor Moon, and Rose of Versailles. Sit down and listen in!

If you listened to my Pilot episode (Ep. 0), you'll notice the format is different than the "review" episode I did. Fear not, review episodes will still be similar (though with considerably less music). I just thought it'd be fun to alternate between reviews and talking with guests from time to time.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy! Feel free to leave me your thoughts, opinions, and ideas for future episodes, and thanks for listening!
