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!

AoY Podcast #6 – Golden-Ani First Loves (aka Valentine’s Day Special w/ Geoff Tebbetts)
Also known as: “Do you believe in ani-love?”
For our Valentine’s Day Single Awareness Day special, we bring on Geoffrey Tebbetts to discuss his contributing blog, Golden Ani. The blog is dedicated to the past 50 years of Japanese Animation, with written reviews by other anime bloggers/big kahunas out there. After a few questions to that, we get to our main topic, our “anime first loves,” where we talk about what anime’s we first fell in love with that really got us into anime. Geoffrey talks about Maison Ikkoku, my co-host Jonn and Josh talk about the glory days of Toonami programming shows that made them anime fans, and I bring up my personal favorite OVA “first love,” Sol Bianca. Oh, and me and Jonn talk about an “en espanol” station, Locomotion.
