Here’s to our end of 2024/beginning of 2025 podcastravaganza episode, combining out last recording with three other recordings made in the spring/summer of 2024 that never made it out in the time they were supposed to come out, because well, dumb reasons.
(0:00 – 1:39:08) Section A: Convention Recap, TV Series Talkback – It just works better to segment our discussions into these sections since it’s another big block episode anyways, so whatever. This gets into Internet Archive being down back in September of 2024, Jonn talks about someone passing out in a movie, Dustin being invovled with TigerCon 2024, Getting to chaperone with Voice Acting legends Dan Woren and Tiffany Grant, USA anime company talks, Dustin regards his tales of getting through a Property Management course for work, the 2024 Election Results talk, John concludes his crazy neighbors story arc, Jonn goes to a Mesa Toy Con, The Penguin and Severance TV series review and much more in the middle.
(1:39:08 – 3:39:22) Section B: The “Freeform Episode” Talk – This was our recording from sometime in late May of 2024, where it’s old-as-heck news now regarding Trump’s conviction discussion and how that’s going to effect the 2024 election (I don’t need to say more than that). This also gets into Jonn review of Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Freedom in theaters, Dune 2 and some Miyazaki film talk. Also included is the Toru Fuyura scandel, late night TV talk, the Nick Rekita online drama, how Youtube celebraties are trash, and much more.
(3:39:22 – 5:14:45) Section C: Summer 2024 Movie Reviews, Momocon 2024, and Mr. Jonn’s Sketchy Neighborhood Drama – This was the somewhat part 2 of the last recording we did, but this time we highlight the major beginnings of Jonn sketchy neighbors shenanigans back in June of 2024. Dustin talks about his highlights from Momocon, Jonn goes to a local toy con, and finding a cool Gundam tape from Otaku Joe’s. We also talk about Furiosa, Bad Boys: Ride or Die, the Resident Evil films, Micheal Bay filmography, the music of Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad, certain people in the video ripping/archive community, and much more!
(5:14:45 – 6:56:52) Section D: “Pissing Around” Con Review Episode – This was recorded late spring of 2024 where Jonn and Dustin talk about SC Comicon and another Con in Phoenix, AZ. This gets into talking about future travel plans that never materialized, collecting stuff we find at conventions, Dustin meeting Meeting Eddie Deezen in the most “intersting” way possible, how Chris Chan was kicked out of a con in Raleigh, NC; Star Trek and classic SciFi TV shows talk, The Eltingville Club talk, the solar eclipse of 2024 and much more.

AoY Podcast #176 – Deadpool & Wolverine Review (w/ President Debate Pt. 2 and General Talk)
Also known as: “Listen here Fat! I’d like to see you do a push-up contest with me!”
Download Episode HERE! (Total Time: 2:28:08)
Due to the Internet Archive being down for about a month, were finally back to release something a little later than we wanted too, but here we are! We’re back to (not) really talking about anime, but we do kind of talk about anime. However there are bigger fish to fry with our review of Wolverine & Deadpool and another re-cap of the Presidental Debate Part 2.
(0:00 – 28:30) Fox just had to go Bye Bye Bye! Wolverine & Deadpool Review – We heat up the mics a bit to discuss recent current events like the latest Trump surviving another assassination attempt before we get into our discussion of the movie. Wolverine & Deadpool seemed to be the best Marvel film to come out to catch Dustin eye, and it only took Fox to (nearly) die off before that could happen. This gets into Marvel films Dustin has never seen while Jonn recants them, and our history of popular music that made up the new millennium.
(28:30 – 1:24:15) New Challenger Approaches! Presidentail Debate Part 2 Discussion – Both Dustin and Jonn give their thoughts on the latest Presidential Debate between Trump and Harris going through the pros and cons of the event. This also gets into Harris recent ABC interview, Biden wearing a trump hat and giving no damns in the process, the perhaps maybe close affair with Trump/Laura Loomer, our gripes in general about the American Political landscape and more.
(1:24:15 – 2:28:08) You know we do chat about Anime from time to time – Both Dustin and Jonn give their thoughts on anime they’ve been watching on their own. Dustin gives a nice overview of Keep Your Hands off Eizoken! and first thoughts on 16bit Sensation. Jonn is keeping up with the theme of what this podcast is about with him going back to the 90’s to talk about Burn Up Excess, El Hazard, Sorcerer Hunters and a general chat of how 90’s anime was made, and also talk about Gall Force. This also ends with Dustin recieving an email from Timbox and his Google Drive Trailer Video (a Link for your VERY ENJOYMENT!) as well Timbox 2008 Video, and end things off with more of Jonn reading from the Mobile Suit Gundam novel. All this and more in this episode!

Download Episode HERE! (Total Time: 3:52:34)
It’s that grand ‘ol time of every fourth year in America, where elephants and donkeys clash, feelings are hurt, conspiracies and formed, and everyone seems to be in dread till Election Day (and after).
(0:00 – 1:38:58) The Grumpy Old Man Debate Breakdown / Closing-Closing-Political Closing Remarks – Both Jonn and Dustin decided that the rematch debate among Trump v. Biden was by far the worst debate in recorded history. Both host give their own feedback on the debate and where this may go from here (most of which has already happened). Also talks about the American Political landscape, past Presidential debate talks, the Hunter Biden sentencing, Dustin talks a bit about Dirty Pair Flash, our thoughts on older 80’s mecha anime and more.
(1:38:58 – 3:52:34) The Ex-Prez Got Shot! / Closing Remarks Take Two – In the past month of this podcast episode release, you would think the American Election of 2024 has become some highly dramatized movie that keeps us on the edge of our seats every day when the American public wakes up to something new. This gets Dustin and Jonn talking about their theories behind the Trump shooting as well as Jonn Ghetto Hood Rat neighborhood drama, Kennedy assasination talk, the RNC 2024, were old people go to retire, the host future in assistant living, Jonn gives a quick review of Powered Armored Dorvack, Tomino character names, Dustin watching Mike Tyson Mysteries / China, IL, our anime backlog, the old way of releasing anime and much more!

Download Episode HERE! (Total Time: 1:59:32)
This podcast episode was recorded December of 2023 in the case that we really do release this halfway through 2024 because of reasons. Jonn and Dustin sit down one evening to really hammer home the wacky crazy universe of the Tenchi Muyo series.
(0:00 – 1:23:47) Coming back to the old crap shoot of the Tenchi World – We here at the Anime of Yesteryear podcast are good at one thing it seems; re-reviewing what we had reviewed ages ago. Dustin just recently ripped his GXP Toonami recordings and Jonn has been going down the interesting rabbit hole of the Tenchi OVA’s. This gets us into Tomino series talk, if Masaki Kajishima is a more sucessful Chris Chan, who is our best Tenchi girls, the FLCL remakes, general Toonami show talk, CN censorship and much more.
(1:23:47 – 1:59:32) No (real) Need for a Closing Remark – Just us talking about events at the end of 2023 like the Israel – Hamas war, our Christmas plans before Christmas, Dustin going to an Airsoft event, quick thoughts on Godzilla Minus One, remembering the legacy of JTurner and more!

This idealy was supposed to come out before Christmas, then on Christmas Day maybe, but none of that happened. Dustin Christmas weekend was a s***show day to say the least. Our real Christmas special will come out on the next episode, which in turn is really our 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY of doing this. 10 years of failed promises, broken dreams, lowered expectations, and somewhere in the middle of that is a review of Japanese cartoons somewhat. This time its a con report from the end of October at Atlanta, so enjoy that!
(0:00 – 1:36:45) Con Report: Anime Weekend Atlanta 2022 – Chalk it up to laziness and loss time that back to back episode releases are just more con reports, but we’ll get it right for the next one im certain! Dustin comes back to regail his tale of the major anime con in Atlanta for our listeners. This gets into his invovlement in doing AMV stuff with AMV people, winning awards at AWA, settling some issues with people, Jonn discusses what he did that same weekend that wasn’t at UwUCon, crime and drugs in our local major cities, the haters on Twitter, what we got at the cons, how Dustin is now officially an uncle, Dustin impressions with seeing the latest Mobile Suit Gundam: Cucuruz Doan movie in theaters since the last time he saw a Gundam film in theaters (which was Char’s Counterattack), a quick overlook at 801 T.T.S Airbats anime, Cardcaptors en espanol, how Gundam is seriouz buzinezz!, first impressions of the latest Gundam Witch from Mercury series, what panels Dustin did at AWA this year, Discotek future releases were looking forward too, the Legacy of VegettoEX, passing out in room parties on a Saturday night, get buried in KISS merch, how AWA has a line and drinking problem, and much more!
(1:36:45 – 2:06:05) Closing Remarks – Not too much to say other than addressing a few things from months ago that isn’t a big issue until we bring it up again to light. This includes our quick thoughts on the American mid-Term elections since this was recorded before Nov. 8th, Responding to a Gatomatt Video, the Return of Brick, Elon early reign on Twitter as of last month, 90’s fads, and a few more things to boot!
