After many years of putting off this series and then deciding to watch it within a week on a whim, Jonn and Dustin dive into the futuristic world of Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040. Also included is the greatest novel review you’ll ever hear about the Mobile Suit Gundam Novels.
(0:00 – 1:20:45) A Ninties ADV Cyberpunk Classic: Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040 – This episode was a long time coming, and if anime were considered vintage by the standarts of automobile collectors, this just made it within the 26 year acceptance date. Our last review of Bubblegum Crisis was the OVA’s back in 2012 on another podcast we had, and you can find those episodes in our Review section. This also includes talk about the Legend of Galactic Heroes Test Dub on archive.org, Dustin history of first watching this show on the long forgotten cable network in South American countries named Locomotion in the summer of 2002, the musical talents of Akira Sudou and other colabs with the band, Pool and HVAC maintenance woes, Bubblegum Crisis merch talk, Discotek media talk and much more mixed in.
(1:20:45 – 3:02:50) The Jonn’s Review Closing Remark Segment – Jonn basically takes over this segment with anime he’s gotten around to watching Genesis Climber Mospeada, Red Photon Zillion and dives straight into our first ever book review of the Pulitzer Prize Raspberry Winner of the Mobile Suit Gundam novels. This also includes a bit of political talk, but its mostly the most glorified book review you’ll ever want to hear. This also includes our second recording to finalize the epic saga of Tomino storytelling JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT we were going to be done on the recording! This all includes our thoughts of the online Discotek Panel stream from Otakon 2024 and Dustin talks about Initial D dubbing for an ungodly amount of time. All this and more in this weeks episode!

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…

AoY Podcast #164 – Hathaway’s Flash / Book of Boba Fett Review
This show has: “…There’s nobody else in my (…) space suit, why do I have to wear a mask?”
Download Episode HERE! (Total Time: 2:10:54)
So you thought it might be another couple of months before our next episode, well we’ve come to prove you wrong! We got a double dose of content in this batch with our review of Hathaway’s Flash and The Book of Boba Fett.
(0:00 – 44:55) Opening Remarks – Somehow “Ok so let’s start talking about Gundam” turned into a hodgepodge of closing remark material to kick off this episode. But hey, its all good. This gets into probably the podcast no one asked for that requires a YouTuber to give commentary on, the Shenmue anime that is on Toonami, differences of electrical outlets in different parts of the world, video gaming talk, Dustin having the ability to watch whatever he wants to on physical media, coming back around to Sol Bianca, Discotek media releases, crazy girls online, how to promote 90’s nostalgia for GenZeerz, minor Chris Chan talk and a few more things.
(44:55 – 1:28:04) Review: Hathaway’s Flash – So far this is the best Gundam to happen to Gundam in a decade (minus Unicorn probably). For a film that came out last year that is adapting a book from 1989, both host find great promise in where this story is going to lead the viewer in the next two films. This gets into The Great Reset talk, politics in Gundam, an upcoming re-enactment of what Dustin believes Bright Noa is going to do to Hathaway, anime releases on Bluray, the world of Crowdfunding, Dustin first thoughts on Bean Bandit Kickstarter release, and much more.
(1:28:04 – 2:10:24) Review: The Book of Boba Fett – Both Dustin and Jonn were very impressed with the latest Filoni series by Disney+, and both go into detail on what they liked and didn’t like about the series that has been properly named The Mandalorian Season 2.5. This also gets into Star Wars canonical debates, general Star Wars talk, Dustin fouling up once again on who is going to win the Super Bowl, WILL THERE BE ANOTHER PODCAST WHEN WW3 STARTS?!?!, and much more.
Music Selection:
OP – It’s actually a pretty good Gundam…
