Time for the Anime Nostalgia Podcast's Year in Review!

It's become tradition that in December, I do a year in review podcast episode. And once again, I need your help! So please, dear listeners, take a moment to let me know your opinions on older anime titles that were re-released this year (among other things) on the survey HERE! One lucky listener who fills out the survey will be chosen at random to win a special holiday prize (open world-wide!) But hurry--you gotta do it before December 15th. I'll announce the winner on the new episode of the podcast when me & returning guest Zee (from last year's Year in Review episode!) will discuss the results.

Good luck, and thanks again for listening!

The Anime Nostalgia Podcast's Year in Review

Last year, I did my first ever Year in Review podcast episode...and a new year means a new one! But this time around, I thought I'd try something different: I want your guys' input!

One lucky listener who fills out the survey will be chosen at random to win a special holiday prize (open world-wide!) But hurry--you gotta do it before December 11th. I'll announce the winner on the new episode of the podcast when me & returning guest Zee (from last year's Year in Review episode!) will discuss the results.

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!
