The Anime Nostalgia Podcast ep 12

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

All March long (or as I've been calling it, RanMarch! *rimshot*) we're celebrating Ranma 1/2 in honor of Viz re-releasing both the anime and the manga here in the US. So what better time to do a Ranma 1/2 themed podcast episode?! Join me and my friend, Ranma-superfan Chevelle (or as you might know her on Tumblr, Kappatea), as we talk about things like the history of Ranma's release in America, the struggle of collecting unnumbered $30 VHS tapes, and my horrible Shampoo impersonation (among other things.)

The Anime Nostalgia Podcast ep 09

2013 is coming to a close. So join me and special guest Zee of the Armchair Fandomologists Podcast as we talk about some of the notable releases and re-releases of older anime that came out this year and got announced for next year! Some good, some bad, and some titles that were just hilariously weird. We obviously couldn't cover them all, but we tried to cram in as much as humanly possible, just for your holiday enjoyment. Special thanks to Nitro for making my intro music festive for the occasion!
