The Anime Nostalgia Podcast - ep 94: 2020 Year In Review with Zee

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

2020 is finally almost over! So you know what that means–that’s right, it’s the Year in Review! And much like Krampus, Zee is back to help discuss the results of my annual year-end survey as filled out by you, the listeners! What older anime titles were you excited to buy (sometimes again) this year, and what titles are you looking forward to coming out in 2021? We also talk about all the memorable news stories from throughout this long, endless garbage fire of a year (though if you are utterly exhausted from hearing about 2020 news things, once you get around the time stamp 2:02:49, you can skip to right around the 3:36:56 mark!) I should note that, due to the year 2020 being ABSOLUTELY cursed, my original audio for this ep didn’t turn out great, so I was forced to fall back on my basic Skype recording, ON TOP OF the fact that the survey results got a little borked. So apologies that this episode is far from perfect, but hopefully it’ll still give you some laughs as we try our best to cast out the demons of this wild ride of a year in this extra long episode (with some bonus bloopers after the ending theme! Happy holidays!!)

Currently, many of us are staying & working from home due to the global pandemic.

But we didn’t stop there: we have way more than 10 if you count the random tangents and honorable mentions we crammed in there as well. So sit back, relax, and enjoy a podcast ep where we try to just have a fun, chill vibe and talk about various series you might be interested in trying!

Next month (April 2016), a brand new season of the Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure anime will begin! So what better time to talk about the classic series & what makes it tick. And who better to talk about it with than my friend & Jojo superfan Zee, as well as special surprise guest, Jason Thompson! Jason is not only a JJBA fan, he’s the editor of Viz’s English release of Stardust Crusaders! Listen as we talk about the many influences of Hirohiko Araki, what went on during Viz’s Stardust Crusaders manga release, and how right now is one of the best times to jump into this 30 year old franchise.

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.

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.
