This has been a long time coming, and its about time to bring on the space bootyliciousness into our podcast with Space Adventure Cobra.

(0:00 – 01:11:38) Review – Space Adventure Cobra TV – This was recorded in two different days, because for some unholier than thou reason, Skype was being a butt for two days, or maybe its just our internet at the time. Anyways, Jonn and Dustin travel across the galaxy in search of fine interstellar ladies and ones that turn into giants. Cobra is just good stuff period, in every episode, even when Dustin can’t recall most of it (since its been about 2 years since he last saw it). Upon the hosts travels to space casinos and combating against cyborg mermaid gynoids, the podcast crew goes a bit off topic on things like how Dustin panel for AWA didn’t go through, upcoming book fests in SC, Harry Potter talk, both Dustin and Jonn talk about moving (which, happened a month ago for me. Shows the timeliness of these podcast releases am I right – Dustin), The Fast Karate Podcast numbering system, Amazon prime has Macross, Mospeda and Southern Cross, which then just digresses to Macross licensing talk, other Cobra anime, how Trump will make Celebrity Apprentice for government positions (looking at you Dennis Rodman) and much much more.

(23:07 – 23:52) RightStuf! Promo – This was thrown into the review during our constant Skype issues, but RightStuf! has a sale on Viz and Funimation products going on right now. During the promo Dustin says the promo code to use, so give it a listen if you want your animoo swag on discount, cuz all ya’ll broke in some way.

(01:11:38 – 1:23:58) Closing Remarks – This gets us into why Dennis Rodman has some good points to him (though very few), TCR Ghost conspiracies, Dustin and others continued hatred towards Anime Abandon, Jason Bourne movie was alright, and MORE SKYPE ISSUES!!! See yea for episode 100!!!

Music Selection: 

OP – Cobra is a true kinda guy

ED – Pretty good anime ending

This was a review that was a long time coming, which this seems to be the most appropriate time to cover it. After making its mark in Japanese theaters on July 7th 1984, this has been a movie that fans have grown to love and appreciate over the years. From the die hard of them all to the young at heart, Macross has left an impressionable mark in animation going back to the early 1980’s. And what better way for there to be a retelling of a series than with Super Dimensional Fortress Macross: Do You Remember Love? I should note, we mostly stay on topic, if that means anything to you listeners.

Review: SDF Macross: Do You Remember Love? This film is a piece that, from the hardcore to the intermediate of anime fans, need to see once in their lives. This film is so powerful, that not even companies can obtain the full rights to it on both sides of the globe, which has been in constant legal battle since it’s creation so long ago. Even so, many people who worked on this film and were involved have made a name for themselves in the anime industry since then. So, what better way for Zeonic and Jonn to give a “semi” spoiler free (you heard right!) discussion on this film as a whole, where they both talk mostly about the history of this film and those who worked on it; and how it’s been distributed across the globe. This also gives Zeonic and Jonn a chance to discuss Macross and Robotech in the states, which was able to leave such a major mark in shaping anime fandom to where it is today. This also has them talking about their experiences seeing this movie for the first time, the legal issues surrounding the movie and the television series over the years, Harmony Gold rantings, bootleg anime talk, Gamestop/EB Games talk, the current issues with Let’s Plays, and much more. Also, CLASHING OF THE ZINGEROIDS SOUNDS! at the end.

Here are some versions on Youtube (as of now) that you can see this movie:

AoY Podcast #17 – The Hangover Cast 2013 (Animazement & Phoenix Comic Con Talkback)


HANGOVER CAST copy

Also known as: “Hey, you guys need to take that to the bathroom!”
Or could be known as: “DUDE, WHERE’S MY CAR?!?!”

Memorial Day weekend is a time to remember the brave men and women in our military armed forces who fight for our country, so that we can enjoy this nation’s liberties to heart. That same liberty applies to anime fans and fellow nerds alike in America also, because Memorial Day is also a nation wide convention weekend. With so many cons happening at the same time, my co-host Jonn and I decided to take in the sights of near local conventions that were a drive away. Jonn went to the Phoenix Comic Con, and I took the journey to Animazement.

Animazement for me has, and always will be, an adventurous weekend in it of itself. The con every year let’s me experience and see things that I probably normally should and should not see on a daily basis. My adventures include meeting people, catching up with fellow podcasters, seeing the sights, bailing my ride out of the impound lot, getting into virtual fights, giving a little review on Urusei Yatsura: Only You and a hell of a lot more. You could say it’s like its own The Hangover movie… minus most of the crazy stuff that happens, to that extreme of a level. Jonn also tells his tale of running into bootleg anime vendors and a neglected VA guest. So, let me tell of the days of high adventure…

Here is the Animazement photo’s I took while at the con!!
