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 #86 – The RightStuf Product/Spectre Review
Also known as: “It’s Allah of….Yesterday…”
and also: “It’s all… good… clean, big booty fun!”
Download Episode HERE! (Total Time: 2:14:40)
We can officially announce that we have once again sold out to “The Man,” particularly the RightStuf Man. This time we have a pretty full show of Jonn and Dustin reviewing RightStuf! Mobile Suit Gundam and Zeta Gundam Blu-ray Sets, Space Adventure Cobra DVD Set and the latest Bond movie Spectre.
(0:00 – 52:08) The RightStuf! Product Review – Gundam Blu-Ray’s and Cobra DVD Set: After about taking a month for both hosts to get their products from RightStuf!, they can both talk about the special features and quality of the packages. Jonn and Dustin talk about mostly the 30th Anniversary interviews with the Gundam staff on the second blu-ray collection of Mobile Suit Gundam, which is just laughing at how old men can still hold grudges from a show that’s 37 years old now. Both host’s talk about the Buichi Terasawa interview from the Cobra DVD’s and its packaging, and our own review of that show will come out in due time. We also mention general Gundam talk, other mech shows, Terasawa and his Big Booty loves, SJW v. not-anime-yet, being praised in class for being a nerd, and more.
(52:08 – 53:19) RightStuf! Bootleg Promo: Our podcast never got an “official” promo from RighStuf!, so it was best to make up our own for starters. Right now (as of March 5th), Gundam and Vertical had a sale, which might still be going on? We want to thank Vanessa Williams for providing the background song for our promo, and we would really like to thank her lawyers for not finding out about this podcast because we used such song that would fit with this RightStuf! promo without “official” consideration from her record label. Now moving on…
(53:19 – 1:19:35) Movie Review – Spectre: Here we have an example of a review seen by one person who saw it the day it came out, and other who saw it the other day. The time gap is large enough to show that the former forgot most of the movie, leaving the latter to pick up the slack of events that happened. Long story short, both host made this review short and to the point, and talked about other James Bond related things. I mean, its been 3 years since both hosts talked about James Bond, so hopefully the next film comes a bit sooner.
(1:19:35 – 2:14:40) Closing Remarks (a.k.a Dustin disses on Initial D haters): Like the usual formula, Chris Chan gets brought up to talk about how he self promotes people he doesn’t like without knowing it, which then leads to Dustin throwing down his Initial D street cred against Anime World Order review of Initial D, and tries to answer that why question the AWO hosts asked on their podcast. You could say Dustin cranks up his hypothetical Toyota AE86 for our 86th podcast, because that is how fate would have it! This of course leads to people we know on twitter who are having a hard time in life, former AIM and Toonzone drama, and more.
Music Selection:
OP1 – We’re kinda the new kids on the block when it comes to product reviews…
OP2 – James Bond is Back!!!
This show has:
The next James Bond…perhaps?
What feels like the start of every Roger Moore Bond film…
This could happen to the anime community… maybe?
Playing Games: End of Semester Sega Saturn games (Legend of Galactic Heroes/Mobile Suit Gundam)
So, Zeonic school semester is now over, and he decides to celebrate the occasion with playing the Legend of Galactic Heroes game he got at Nashicon that he now… kinda wonders if it was worth getting. So for a constant 38 minutes, you get to see Zeonic frustration over Japanese console strategy games that is still a challenge to him to this day.
Also after doing LOGH (aka, just giving up after getting his fleet destroyed), Zeonic pops in his Sega Saturn copy of Mobile Suit Gundam, which became a more enjoyable experience. If you want to see more of Zeonic streaming games online, check out our twitch channel here. Till next time!!
