Anime World Order Show # 239 – CLANG CLANG CLANG Went The Demon

In this episode, by popular request Daryl reviews the 1998 sci-fi Western Outlaw Star, which we all remember so little about it's almost like we're seeing it for the first time. The original Toonami Generation is now middle-aged, after all. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Now that it's been a year since the untimely passing of Akira Toriyama, Clarissa reviews his greatest work released in the US...namely, the first five Dr. Slump movies! These were released on DVD from Discotek, but are now long out of print. Gerald approves of this maneuver. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

In this episode, Gerald jazzes up the proceedings by reviewing the 2023 theatrical film Blue Giant, released in theaters, home video, and streaming by GKIDS. Visit http://www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

2025 is off to a terrible start, not just in terms of current world events but because in this episode Daryl follows up on his previous review of the 1997 Berserk TV series with this review of the decades-anticipated 2016 Berserk TV series. Oh boy. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

As we mark our 19th year of anime podcasting, it's time for our annual holiday roundup of Christmas episodes! But first, we take a moment to pay our respects to the recently departed Jan Scott-Frazier, not by pressing F but by talking about her influence on us and this podcast.

For the tenth time, it's our annual trivia episode! We are joined by Basil, head honcho of the OSMcast as well as The Carbuncle Chronicle and OSMquest podcasts who's been doing this for just about as long as we have. Basil has been doing this for about as long as us and is from our same fandom generation, though he's got more experience on camera as our Patreon supporters at the $5 and up tiers were able to see during the live recording which was held about a week ago.

Although we're posting this on Halloween, there's not much especially spooky about this episode since after having seen Uzumaki, Daryl has instead elected to review the theatrical film adaptation of Look Back by Tatsuki Fujimoto. Be forewarned that we do spoil it all in the event you didn't already read or watch it first. Visit http://www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Despite a grievous tech failure, we're back to discuss the upcoming Fall 2024 anime season before Daryl reviews the 1997 anime adaptation of Berserk, recently back in print in the US due to a Blu-Ray release. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

No review this time around, but Gerald and Clarissa went to Otakon 2024 so here's their convention report. Despite another record breaking attendance figure, they did NOT catch COVID! They did however, barely manage to avoid getting heat stroke/exhaustion. Curse you, climate change! Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

This time around, Clarissa "pulls a Gerald" by reviewing something that we thought was still readily available via streaming and home video but is in fact totally out of print: 1993's four-part OVA, 8 Man After. This gives us a good excuse to talk about the original 8 Man from the 1960s, its American localization, and of course Streamline Pictures and "Uncle" Carl Macek.
