The Anime Nostalgia Podcast - ep 109: ReView: Lily C.A.T.

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

This month’s episode is another short ReView! What is a “ReView” episode, you might ask? Well, it’s my highly-clever (ok not really) name for episodes where I go back and revisit an older title I haven’t seen in a long time, and see if what I remember (and what my opinions on it) are still the same now that some time’s gone by. This month, thanks to Tim (the 2nd winner of the ANP Says Trans Rights raffle), I’m rewatching one of Sci-Fi Channel’s Saturday Anime staples: Lily C.A.T.! Am I feline any different about this movie, or do I think it belongs in the litter box? Let’s find out!

The Anime Nostalgia Podcast - ep 78: Akira Talk with Vrai

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

The Saturday Anime series continues with one of the most iconic anime (and manga) to ever be made: AKIRA! And with me to talk a bit about this massively influential franchise is new guest to the show Vrai Kaiser (they/them). Even with 2 hours to chat about Akira, we only manage to touch the tip of the iceberg on what makes this Katsuhiro Otomo classic so special. Listen as we discuss how we first saw this film far too young, how it appealed to more folks than just your typical anime fans, and why this 80s creation is a little too prophetic on how life in 2019 ended up being. Also in this episode: the premiere of my brand new opening theme!.....that you don’t hear until the end. (Whoops.)
