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!

ひさしぶり!

Hey, all! It's been a while, eh?
Real life has once again crept up on me, and so the podcast had fallen to the wayside. But I am more determined than ever to get up and running once more, this time on a more regular basis! To help me get pumped up for this, I've created a Tumblr blog for the podcast as well here: http://animenostalgia.tumblr.com/

This will basically be a supplement to this blog and the podcast itself, where in between podcasts I'll be blogging relevant stuff--news, images, whatever--to anime of the past. So feel free to add it and check it out!

Of course I'm not abandoning this place for Tumblr, think of it as a supplement to this one, like I said. ;)

Until next time!

I'm back!

Ok, so I took a small (err, I guess not that small, it's been almost a year?! How'd that happen?) hiatus from starting up the podcast for real so I could watch more stuff and take lots of notes (as well as other, real world type things, heh.)...but I think it's about time for me to actually start getting the ball rolling on this project. And what better way to get motivated with a new banner for the blog! The art for it (much like my profile picture) was done by the incredibly talented Chevi! (You might know her as the artist of the Diskowarp album covers.) Thank you, Chevi! My blog and podcast just got a little cooler, thanks to you and your adorable style. ^__~

Anyway, I'm just trying to decide what series/movie/whatever to do for Episode 1, and then I can get on my way to recording. I'm thinking I'll be releasing a new Episode once or twice a month, time permitting (once I get started!). Since this is my first attempt at a serious podcast, I'm really just doing most of this on the fly. But hopefully once I get started, everything else will fall into place.

Thanks for the support, and look forward to Episode 1 soon!

The Anime Nostalgia Podcast episode 00 - Maho Tsukai Tai! / The Magic Users Club

Anime Nostalgia Reviews Ep. 0 - Magic Users Club by usamimi

It's a little rough around the edges, but most "pilot" episodes are, right? This will give you a basic idea on what to expect for future podcasts, though. Episode 0 reviews the 1996 6-part OAV (original animated video) "Maho Tsukai Tai!", released in the US as "The Magic Users Club".

Comments and constructive criticism are always welcome. And if you have any ideas or requests for older (pre-2000s, preferably) anime shows, OAVs, or movies you wanna see reviewed, feel free to drop me a suggestion!
