AoY Podcast #121 – The Feast of Alvis Christmas Special (Penguin’s Memory Review)


Also known as: “Lost flippers in rice patties.”

Download Episode HERE! (Total Time: 1:39:35)

It’s an Alvis Day miracle to have another yearly Christmas Special ready to go! So this year Jonn and Dustin talk about another miracle of an anime that we never thought would be fansubbed, but it came to fruition. This year we review Penguin’s Memory.

(0:00 – 35:15) Alvis Day Review: Penguins Memory – This is an anime that has been mentioned on this podcast in the past many times, but it was only a matter of time before certain fansubbers finally got around to making this anime to the anime fandom public. It’s like the movie The Deer Hunter, but with penguins, only it’s not really The Deer Hunter. Penguins Memory is a unique film based off the premise off Suntory Beer ads mixed in with the common ethos of 1980’s Vietnam War movies at the time. It’s truly a film that anime fans need to check out eventually. Along with both hosts staying on topic for once, there is the off topic discussions of how CW superhero shows are trash, the passing of Hiromi Tsuru and other anime featuring animals fighting in wars.

(35:15 – 1:39:35) Closing Remarks – Typical banter follows this segment with Chris Chan latest stupidity on video and stuff about Ghost from TCR. Included is how Dustin has finally graduated university (since he’s been in school since three podcasts ago), the failings of Roy Moore, the US soldier that defected to North Korea died recently, how dumb people Master thesis’s can be, Thor 3 and Justice League discussion, upcoming movies in 2018, the Disney/Fox merger and a whole lot more. Stay tuned for the greatest religious story ever told by Captain Murphy in the zinger.

Music Selection:

OP – Left my buddies flippers in a rice patty in the Delta War long ago…

ED – Only the singing of children can calm the heart of a war vet…

This is NOT a kids movie…

Happy Alvis Day Everyone!!

Your pet rabbit is really a hardened killer…

He’s gonna make you feel alright!


AoY Podcast #119 – Go Nagaiween Special (Go Nagai World Review)


Also known as: “This podcast is a turtle… awkward turtle…”

Download Episode HERE! (Total Time- 1:38:19)

It’s that time of the year again where the Devilman brings good tidings and fear to Halloween, and bad comedy (should mention that hardly no editing has been done, so well just roll with it again to get this out on time – Dustin). This year we review CB Character Go Nagai World.

(0:00 – 1:07:25) Halloween Review: Go Nagai World – In keeping up with our hallows-eve tradition with the Devilman himself, this time we are joined by the more notable characters of Go Nagai that Devilman and the gang get to meet. This is an anime for the true Go Nagai fans out there, like those who own Super Deformed Double Feature because they are big ARTMIC fans. In this review we also go off the beaten path with “Dick”sploitation movies, Jeb Bush and his Turtles, what Dustin went as for Halloween, other Go Nagai properties (mainly Violence Jack, because that’s all that matters), our ideas of a Violence Jack video game, and much more.

(1:07:25 – 1:38:19) Closing Remarks – This was surprisingly short since this past month has been full of top headline stories, namely like how Chris Chan and his “Sweetheart” broke up, Dustin and Jonn thoughts on the world of Blade Runner, Toon Radio wont live again, how whoring out for cash like the rest of those YouTubers ain’t our style (not yet at least), and much more.

AoY Podcast #116 – A Gundam RightStuf Special (Gundam Thunderbolt / Belladonna of Sadness Review)



Also known as: “Is George Carlton your new daddy?”

Download Episode HERE! (2:00:37)

Holy Crap, two podcast episodes a week apart! How can that be? Well it is, and Dustin and Jonn are able to give you another RightStuf corporate sponsored Gundam podcast. Not only do we review what goodies we got in the mail from RighStuf, but also review Gundam Thunderbolt and Belladonna of Sadness.

(0:00 – 1:05:00) RightStuf GundamCast Review: Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt – It’s been months, but were here to deliver more Gundam to you guys. This time Jonn and Dustin review the web short series Gundam Thunderbolt, which for a one year war Gundam short, its probably the darkest that One Year War Gundam has done so far. Both hosts discuss the ONA, but also mention gross number statistics of estimated losses in the One Year War, trying to compare those numbers with losses in World War II, AU vs UC content, the different kinds of Jazz that exist, upcoming Gundam Bluray content and reviews of content currently out and much more.

(1:05:00 – 1:26:40) Your Grandpa’s Hidden Anime Porn Review: Belladonna of Sadness – Belladonna is the oldest anime we’ve reviewed so far on this site, and by far the most visually interesting since Angel’s Egg. Despite being an art house smut style movie produced by Osamu Tezuka, it has a decent story to go with it which is loosely based off this book. But none of that matters when you got psychedelic imagery of phallic animation being shown on screen (links NSFW just FYI). This also gets Jonn and Dustin talking about the other works by director Eiichi Yamamoto, the sexual revolution in the 1960’s, and what kind of people (other than the hosts) that would find out about this anime at 2 a.m. on a Saturday night on TCM.

(1:26:40 – 2:00:37) Closing Remarks: Nothing too much to say, other than Chris Chan has a new GF, which a new saga will unfold from that. Dustin has joined up with a local Gundam group, Ted Cruz leaked porn scandal, Jonn trolls the podcast with trains and more.

Music Selection:
OP1 – War gets harder towards the end…

OP2 – BRELLADONNAAHHH…

ED – How Jonn successfully trolled the podcast…

This show has:

Dustin’s new office chair, for podcasting reasons of course.

 

Well see how long this saga last for…

AoY Podcast #115 – General Discussion Part II: The Hurricane Cast


Also known as: “…AND THAT COMBINATION WITH SEXISM IS WHY I NEEDED TO WRITE THIS POST!”

Download Episode HERE! (Total Time: 02:31:24)

So, its been 4 years since we titled our last episode as a “General Discussion” episode, so we figured it’s time for a sequel episode, longer and (un)better than ever! Of course, this is coming out after Hurricane Henry and during Irma, so it’s pretty fitting to release this episode in this manner. This time we are joined by guests Josh and Daft to talk about bad animated/live action movies like Batman and Harley Quinn and Death Note.

(0:00 – 1:19:30) Something of a Review: Batman and Harley Quinn / Death Note – We figured we can just bundle this into one segment with everyone crapping on the live action Americanized Death Note and Batman and Harley Quinn. This comes with discussing what “really” constitutes as rape, how Bruce Timm needs to come clean and make animated Batman porno films, the changes made in Death Note, talking about the Defenders show, Jonn moving back to Poseidon’s Revenge on Texas, and much more.

(1:19:30 – 02:31:24) Closing Remarks – Here the hosts dive right into Dustin banning from Toonzone after over 11 years of (dis)service, the symposium of a pure autistic post on Toonzone, Toonami speculations of upcoming shows in the future, anime on Kickstarter, Gundam dubbing talk and a bunch other nonsense.

Music Selection:

OP – Were gonna “Pod” you like a Hurricane…

ED – Did we mention this came out during a Hurricane…

This show has:

How to get kicked from Toonzone, the Zeonic Freak way!

And that’s the end of that chapter…

AoY Podcast #114 – Robotech: The Movie (w/ Grant the Thief)


Also known as: “LOTS OF GUNS, LOTS OF SHOOTING, LOTS OF ROBOTS, NOW THAT’S A CANNON MOVIE!”
and also: “This is Megazone 23 Rebuild… (You Cannot Macek)”

Download Episode HERE! (Total Time: 02:21:55)

After a long time coming (that no one asked for), the podcast covers one of the worst greatest blunders of Robotech history; Robotech: The Movie: The Untold Story. This time the podcast is greeted by Robotech fan Grant The Thief.

(0:00 – 1:23:40) The Untold Review: Robotech: The Movie (ie, Talk-About-Robotech-Than-This-Crappy-Film-For-Over-An-Hour-And-Twenty-Minutes) – No the headline isn’t lying to you guys, Dustin, Jonn and Grant really did talk about other Robotech stuff than this film. Think about it, if the hosts really “did” talk about Robotech: The Movie, this podcast would have been really short, and who wants that? Before ever going into trying to summarize the wikipedia article of this film, the hosts just talked Robotech from property rights, fandom and silly crossovers throughout Robotech lifetime. This also gets into discussion on Harmony Gold properties (like that Captain Harlock dub), who Carl Macek really is, how people forgot how to draw Robotech officially, how anime being shown on television has changed for the better and much more.

(1:23:40 – 02:21:55) Closing Remarks – Dustin and Jonn bring in the verdict for the Rise and Crash of KidsClickTV, Grant brings in how great Lupin the 3rd is, Dustin being a panelist at Electric City Comic Con, Cartoon Network shows, crazy Robotech podcasters, and how breaking up with your fiancee is hard to do. All this and more in this weeks episode.

Music Selection:

OP – Why can’t I be saaaaaaaved, from Harmony Gold!

ED – The future is looking grim for Robotech, oh wait, that’s nothing new…

This show has:

I hope the rest of this gets on TV for real…
