AoY Podcast #172 – No Need for (a) Tenchi Podcast



This show has: “The Tenchi author is Chris Chan, but more successful…”

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!

Music Selection:
OP – The life of Tenchi every day…
ED – This song explains the Troublesome Wives Committee pretty well

and also: “The Worm…. is Life!”

Download Episode HERE! (Total Time: 2:34:16)

This should’ve came out 2 months ago, but it didn’t, but better late than never. 10 years of doing this podcast, like dang. It’s the ususal fare that we’ll treat this as our holiday/general discussion episode with a minor review thrown in. So here we go.

(0:00 – 59:00) The blabbling of blabblers that like to blabble 2023 Edition: We’re going all over the map in this episode, so just chill out and enjoy. There’s plenty to talk about that happened the last two months of 2022. So we got our hot takes on when Vic Mignogna didn’t wear pants to a stream and the crazy VA’s that had their opinions on that, Ye on Alex Jones , American Political Redneck drama in the House / Midterms, the Dan Crenshaw/Solidus Snake conspiracy, and much more

(59:00 – 2:34:16) A “no craps given” Review of Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park / Christmas talk blabbling: I think Jonn and Dustin spend about a total of 10 minutes talking about this forgotten Kiss movie, which gets wrangled in with Limited Run Games drama. Then this goes into how our Christmas went with Jonn talking about Lupin the Third films, David Lynch filmogrophy, our thoughts on book-to-movie adaptations, fansub/anime licensing talk, and much more. Dustin goes on to say how his Christmas was filled with busted pipes and overtime because Hell froze over and came to South Carolina during Christmas, along with seeing NC State lose yet ANOTHER bowl game, and seeing a dead body in ATL on New Years Eve. All this and more in this episode…

 

Music Selection: 

OP – Welcome to our 10th Anniversary!

ED – 10 long years of podcasting is quite a price to pay…

Merry Christmas Listeners! We decided to go big with our yearly Christmas special to talk about the anime that starts with the letter V, as in Voltes V!

(0:00 – 1:23:25) Review: Voltes V (Filipino Dub) – With the upcoming release of Voltes V soon to come out from Discotek, Dustin was able to get the big hookup from Dave Merrill at AWA for the Honest and True English Dub of Voltes V that can only come from the great island nation of the Philippines. We go into spoiler territory, but that should stop absolutely NO ONE from watching this show on their own accord. This gets us into talking about the show history in the Philippines, how Dustin thought one of the characters was a Sesame Street character, fanfiction writers like Sephirothslave and the web 1.0 era, the Romance Robot Trilogy, pre show remarks on making fun of Anime Superhero Discord stuff and much more!

(1:23:25 – 01:45:51) Holiday Closing Remarks – Dustin wanted the world to know about the greatest anime holiday episode in anime, and that is episode 44 of Brave Exkaiser. Seriously, go and watch it, its got ripped Santa! This also gets into talking about that new Vice movie, politics, comic book talk, how George “Herbie Dubbya” Bush died, Chris Chan proves that his mom isn’t dead, Love That Goku reaction to the Goku float in the Macy’s Parade, Dustin going to the Wally Gator Bowl and more.

AoY Podcast #122 – The Dark Side Christmas Special (Star Wars: The Last Jedi Review)


Also known as: “What planet grows grey tomato’s… THAT ARE ROCKS!?”

Download Episode HERE! (Total Time: 4:27:09)

Happy New Year!!! 2018 will be our year and savior for humanity until such time when social media says its the worst year ever (like the end of every year on Twitter). So what better way to reign in the new year with our hosts ranting about Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

(0:00 – 2:40:15) The Dark Side Review! Star Wars: The Last Jedi – This film seems to be equally split between those who love and hate this film, just like the balance of the force. Dustin, Jonn and guest Vekou (who shows up about 45 minutes in) state their views on the film. As you can expect, spoilers are afoot in great detail. This lets us compare the Star Wars films to the Fast and Furious film series, how Jonn dog spoke up for animal rights on this film, how Disney can royally screw up a beloved science fiction series, and much more!

(2:40:15 – 4:27:09) Christmas Closing Remarks – This was recorded the next night with Jonn and Dustin keeping the mics warm on a post Christmas night, and more sound proof for Dustin since he recorded in his “sound proof” safe space closet (making his mic sound louder in the process). The remarks include bathroom gender rules, Dustin panels at Big Fandom Greenville, more Star Wars talk, what we got for Christmas, upcoming AnimEigo Kickstarters, video game talk, James Bond talk, Dustin Christmas movies he saw this year, 80’s cartoon themes and the goofyness of Voltron, Chris Chan and Ghost talk, the fall of Bitcoin and so much more!

 

Music Selection:

OP – The theme of Doom by the Disney Star Wars Machine…

ED 1 – This is the real Dark Side Review…

ED 2 – Our theme song for Disney Star Wars (a.k.a. I’m glad we said it all…)

AoY Podcast # 104 – Ho-Ho-Hokuto no Ken-mas Special

Also known as: “I’m looking at a picture of a migration with a pair of balls on it!”

Tis the Season to be down for a post-apocalyptic beatdown, where this time Dustin and Jonn travel to 198x once again to see how Christmas went down in Fist of the North Star Arc 4!

(0:00 – 1:07:38) Review: Fist of the North Star Arc 4 – After almost 4 years since we last talked about Hokuto no Ken, it’s time both hosts went head strong and battled for our lives against the Ken-Oh Army! This isn’t intended as a holiday special, but it seemed perfect to add this review into the show 4 months after it was first recorded back in August…..something. Both hosts tell their tales on how they got the ultimate set for the retail value of a 2002 ADV DVD, which gives you listeners almost another 100 episodes (maybe) before you might get a review from us on Hokuto no Ken 2 . If the story of Jesus is considered The Greatest Story Ever Told, then consider this climatic end to Fist of the North Star as the greatest story ever told, except on Christmas cuz baby Jesus has gotta come first. Both host also talk about dumb people on the internet, the new iPhone (from 4 months ago), anime forum stupidity, who Jacob T. Paschal really is and his secret buying habits (U NO IM RITE!),and more. (Oh yea, the audio in this is pretty garbage, but oh well, not gonna talk about Fist for a while, so just suck it up!)

Promo: I know its the holiday season, but i’m not gonna add in an audio piece this time for Anime Cart or RightStuf because those last two podcast promos I did explain all of that. But since your not gonna listen to them (like I know your not), for Anime Cart just type in the promo code AOYPODCAST when you check out something you want, which gives you a bit of a discount for this holiday season…. and any time after that. Just use your grandma’s money to pay for that Attack on Titan statue you really want, or didn’t but now you do!

(1:07:38 – 1:33:45) Closing Remarks: Seeing how this information is old as dirt, its about when Youtube was doing crackdown on monitization videos, Gundam stuff, both hosts having connection issues (which for the most part is fine now), and much more. Stay tuned for the holiday zinger brought to you by Sean Ryan and Kevin Gray.
