Episode 25 – An Average Human Mother
After a two-week break for the holidays (during which we posted a podcast blooper reel on Crunchyroll and released the Crunchyroll Holiday Special), Victoria and Evan are back in the office to talk about the upcoming anime they're excited about, the state of anime convention attendance going into 2016, and the 1980s time capsule that is Fight! Iczer One, and Gundam Thunderbolt.
Show Notes
- We released a blooper reel of the podcast hosts' antics during the pre-show for each episode.
- Both Evan and Victoria are in the Crunchyroll Holiday Special, hosted by the Internet's (now TV's) Michael Toole.
- Evan's exited to see Kiznaiver and Lupin III Part 4 on Crunchyroll.
- Victoria is interested in Myriad Colors Phantom World.
- Final Fantasy IX is coming out on PC and smartphones.
- Lightning from Final Fantasy is modeling for Louis Vuitton.
- BlueSakuga released a cool compilation video of some of the best animated shots of 2015.
- There's a Love Live museum in Akihabara, but it's just a store.
- AnimeCons.com released their annual list of the top anime conventions by attendance.
- Correction: "Warm bodies" refers to the number of unique people who attended for the entire weekend. "Turnstile" is the number of times someone walked through a (possibly metaphorical) turnstile, so it often counts people multiple times.
- Evan finally watched Fight! Iczer One, one of Victoria's favorite 1980s OVAs.
- Evan watched the first episode of Gundam: Thunderbolt, and he and Victoria marvel at an excellent first-person shot.
- Correction: The Gundam is called the FA-78 Full Armor Gundam. "Thunderbolt" is the name of the sector in space that the series takes place in.
