After nearly us talking about reviewing this show for many years, the time has come for an Armored Trooper Votoms review once and for all!
(0:00 – 29:35) PreShow Votoms Talk: Seeing this as our first review of 2024 (even though it was recorded late in 2023) Jonn and Dustin finally get around to giving an over arching review of the Votoms universe. Our pre-Votoms discussion includes how we got into watching Votoms, RIP shoutout to RightStuf (our former supplier of content to review), Sentai Film and Steven Foster dubs talk, how you can watch the English test dub of Votoms on archive.org, and live action One Piece Talk.
(29:35 – 2:37:39) A War on Intergalactic Perportions – Armored Trooper Votoms Review: The time has finally come this podcast to dig deep into the Votoms universe of a series that has been in the discussions of anime mecha fandom since the 1980’s. Jonn recently watched all of Votoms while Dustin saw it ages ago and is going off his best memeory to well, remember what happens in this show. We cover nearly everything that has been made in the Votoms universe including what can be purchased from the Bluray set by Sentai Filmworks (i.e. ADV 2.0). Blended in this is our closing remarks in some form of fashion because that just how we roll. This goes into how Dustin moved into another apartment 50 feet from him back in October of 2023, what is considered modern gladiator sports, the influence of Tim Eldred in the Votoms universe, Gundam talk, Zeonic Scanlation releases Gaia Gear (a series Dustin has been interested in since the early 2000’s), Evangelion talk, that Calamity Jane kickstarter, the legacy of Tiger Electronics memories, the Speedrun Community, RIP Zippyshare, Jonn and Dustin discuss their watching of Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad, the Israeli-Hamas conflict and Ghost take on the war, and much more as usual.
Music Selection:
OP – Into the intergalactic mech trenches we go!
ED – This would’ve been a great dub to have for Votoms

AoY Podcast #170 – Conocalypse Now (Anime Blues Con/City of Memphis Review)
Also known as: “What’s yo Number?”
Download Episode HERE! (Total Time: 2:52:20)
This is a HORRENDOUSLY belated con review going back to July of 2023, but better to end the year on such a con story as this. This is in all honesty of why the city of Memphis is the place it is today, and Dustin cannot tell the con story without telling his own first hand accounts in Memphis.
(0:00 – 1:23:50) “This (con) ain’t better than DisneyLand” Anime Blues Con Declassified: The goal is to get this podcast out before Dustin heads to Anime Weekend Atlanta (which absolutely did not happen), fortelling the events that happened 6 months ago, so here we go. Highlights include meeting THE Dr. Rockso cosplayer, dealing with Memphis humidity, having the WORST. CUSTOMER. SERVICE. EVER at your local Wendy’s in the hood, the overhype of Beale Street, con attendees stories, seeing your work in the anime industry in the dealers room, the last to leave the convention, going to a Whataburger, Memphis being the Piss Ally of the south, being threated at gunpoint on the road leading to Memphis, bad joke telling, going to Bucee’s in Tennessee, and much more.
(1:23:50 – 2:52:20) “They say this convention methods are, unsound” Closing Remarks – Jonn and Dustin go over talking about the story arcs of Votoms, the new Gundam Seed Freedom anime coming out, how great Beavis and Butthead is as a show, the fake coup attempt against Putin, Dustin mini-reviews Serial Experiments Lain, Ghost TCR, talk, Gundam manga, mini Momocon video review and more.

ED – Absolutly right on the mark about Memphis…

AoY Podcast #143 – Anime Boston/ Avengers: Endgame Review
This show has: “Don’t mess with me and Yugioh, i’m the King of that game!”
Download Episode HERE! (Total Time: 2:12:48)
Sorry for the delay on getting out an episode, but after our hiatus in July, we are back with us talking about Anime Boston and Avengers: Endgame.
(0:00 – 1:12:20) Con Talk: Anime Boston 2019 – The excuse Dustin is going to give for nothing coming out for about two months is the fact that summer was busy for him to not sit down and edit something together, but that doesn’t mean we had nothing recorded. Here we have our recording from Cinco De Mayo to kick off our discussion about Anime Boston from audience member Cloud and his time at Anime Boston again. This includes talk about the new City Hunter movie, him going to panels, Steven Universe talk, people who get overly offended at conventions to complain about them on forums and much more.
(1:12:20 – 1:59:00) Avengers: Endgame Review – Seeing how this film has topped James Cameron Avatar for bestest biggest blockbuster spectacular film ever made, Jonn and Dustin go into the film and spoil things about it if you haven’t seen it yet, but that was over 3 months ago so you listener should’ve seen it by now.
(1:59:00 – 02:12:48) Closing Remarks – This one is pretty light but enough to garner some discussion on lowcows like Ghost and Chris Chan, our thoughts on that wonderful “just-came-out-of-a-time-machine-and-must-be-sent-back-to-1993” Sonic live action film, and some other interests to talk about per usual.
Music Selection:
OP – Everybody’s waiting, getting crazy and anticipating the con once more…
ED – A time capsule of a movie concept best forgotten…

AoY Podcast #141 – Takahasahi vs. Tomino Round 5 (Aura Battler Dunbine / Panzer World Galient Review)
This show has: “But Jonn, which is the better show: Digimon or Dunbine? … I’d have to go with Digimon…”
Download Episode HERE! (Total Time: 2:36:49)
What better way to celebrate Mothers Day than not only being a month over due on an episode, but two animes that really emphasize the importance of mothers with Aura Battle Dunbine and Panzer World Galient.
(0:00 – 47:25) Review: Aura Battler Dunbine – After a 3 year hiatus on this segment, we kick it off strong with another highly talked about Yoshiyuki Tomino series involving the world of Dunbine. We rate Tomino’s view on moms as a poor score since all women are always insane and no amount of Bright slapping can correct that action. This gets into how Dustin thought the series name came from this star, how Wings of Rean will be on our list of titles to talk about, but you can hear an already better review of that over at the AWO Podcast, Votoms talk, old anime to be licensed talk and more.
(47:25 – 1:15:40) Closing Remarks – Jonn warns the listener to avoid a movie titled “The Dead One,” The films by Barry Mahon, talking about old porno films for some reason, Joe “CreepinOnKidz” Biden and much more.
(1:15:40 – 1:17:32) Right Stuf Promo
(1:17:32 – 1:58:25) Review: Panzer World Galiant – A lesser known title from Takahashi, but nevertheless, one worth mentioning when it comes to his works. We rate Takahashi view on moms as a great score since part of this story plot is about getting your mom back from a creepy space conehead guy. This also includes the Shrek movie series, some bad review of Galiant on MAL, the Votoms series being released in the states, and much more.
(1:58:25 – 2:36:49) Closing Remarks – This includes the dramatic tale of Andy Warski and his dumbass exploits in the heart of Orlando, The Ghost Show talk, latest opinions of Chris Chan material, how Dustin and his buddy had a hand in shutting down an illegal purse seller at a sketchy flea market, and much more.
Music Selection:
OP 1 – The true test of your aura power is about to be shown…
OP 2 – MIO makes darn good anime music.
ED 1 – A tale of high robot pounding adventure.
ED 2 – See you guys next time…
