Anime World Order Show # 255 - I Still Have Eleven Childhood Friends Left That Need to Be Killed

No review this time around, since Gerald and Clarissa went to Otakon 2026 and have got a con report to detail what happened! For even more, check out the AWOmake podcast available to our Patreon backers where HIS STORY CONTINUES as we detail what happened to Gerald right before and right after the con! Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

We are the No-Brand Heroes as Daryl reviews the 1986 shojo manga Here Is Greenwood along with its 1991 OAV anime adaptation. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

It's been a few years, but our special guest is Mike Toole, for whom we have summoned forth so that we may review the 5-part OVA Macross Zero from 2002, now available in the US. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Clarissa reviews the hottest anime of the year! The year 2016, that is. YURI!!! on ICE isn't as rude as the hockey player dudes of today, but men's figure skaters can have their own heated rivalry! Or maybe they're an extended series of "Russian taunts." Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

We're getting this episode out just on the edge of tomorrow. Fitting, since we're in a live, die, repeat sort of cycle this time around, as Gerald reviews the feature film anime adaptation of All You Need Is Kill, which is not quite the same as the original light novel, manga adaptation of same, or the Hollywood live-action film. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

In this episode, Daryl doesn't seem to understand that we already reviewed Serial Experiments Lain 20 years ago! A shame, he seemed an...incredibly dishonest man, but still! How close/far to the mark was this speculation on the Internet from 28 years ago? Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

It's our 250th episode, except it's actually closer to 332! No better time for Gerald to review 1983's Prime Rose: A Time Slip of 10,000 Years by Osamu Tezuka, now officially released in English. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

It's a brand new year, but not quite a brand new animal as Daryl reviews the somehow already half decade old TV series Odd Taxi (or ODDTAXI, if you prefer). Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

This episode marks our 20th year of podcasting, to the day! After some reflection on the two decades journey we've undertaken, it's down to business as usual as we give some thoughts on the concluding anime season before once again recapping some Christmas-focused episodes of anime. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Our annual Thanksgiving trivia episode returns! We're joined by none other than Red Bard (Kennedy) whose success as a YouTuber vastly exceeds anything we've ever done. Like Daryl, they too are a contributor to Anime Herald Magazine, the first issue of which is out now in print and digital. BUT HOW MUCH DO THEY KNOW ABOUT ODIN AND BLACK LION?! (Disclaimer: we all mixed up Nobunaga in Black Lion with Ginnai, so we don't know very much ourselves.) Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.
