Soul Eater

This time on the OSMcast! we decided things were getting little too old in the mix, so we thought we’d review something a bit newer. So here’s a podcast all about the anime adaptation of Soul Eater by BONES, from the original work by Atsushi Okubo.

Rail kept complaining that the opening wasn’t HARDCORE enough. So hopefully it sufficed. While Funimation has the rights to the Soul Eater anime and will surely be releasing the DVDs at some point, Yen Press has the manga rights and will start releasing the manga in stand alone volumes starting in October. In the meantime the Soul Eater manga is being printing in their monthly Yen Plus magazine.

So, we asked in this episode about the use of our forum. Would you like for us to have our own set of forums, or would you just like us to use the forums we actually have? Let us know!

There is also contest stuff but Basil is lazy and has work in the morning so you can just scroll down and see what’s up in a previous OSMnotes.

Azumanga Daioh

In tonight’s episode of the OSMcast! we talk about J.C. Staff’s adaptaion of Kiyohiko Azuma’s awesome series: Azumanga Daioh!

With special guest star DJ Inubito as “The guy playing Fable II while we talking about stuff.”

Thanks to ADV’s awesome habit of making collections of stuff they make, you can not only now own the entire anime in a Thinkpack box set, you can also buy the entire manga run in one giant omnibus edition. 

This is coming out soonish!

Normally we have this stuff uploaded by Sunday night so it’ll be ready for your listening enjoyment bright and early Monday morning. But we just got back from Nekocon late last night and could not stay conscious enough to make it happen. Hopefully Monday evening will be just as nice! And if you must have it in the morning, I hear Tuesday is also a good day for it!

Speaking of Nekocon, it was a blast.

This comes out soonish after!

I’m sure we’ll be doing a con report on it at some point in the near future! Possibly even next week.

If you have any questions about the con, or about Azumanga Daioh, or you know, anything… Just leave us some feedback in one of our many myriad ways. Like for exmaple, the comments section! Or an email! You could also (dare I say it…!) even leave us a voice mail!

WARNING: We talk about Eiji Nonaka’s Cromartie High School in this episode of the OSMcast! There…  YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

We talk about a lot of stuff that’s actually kinda out of date! But that’s OK, because it’s all still awesome.  And so is Cromartie and you should buy a version of it right now.

Also:

Best. Trailer. Ever.

Check back with us next week when we take on Gainax’s Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann!

Mushishi, by Yuki Urushibara is the topic of tonight’s OSMcast! And it’s definitely awesome. But don’t take our word for it! … Well, actually do take our word for it, but listen to us talk abut why first!

Really you should go buy a copy of Mushishi in one form or another right now. Though you’ll probably have to special order it. But that’s okay because this manga and anime is pretty special.

In that good way, not that short bus special or anything.

So go git it.

Like, now.

Go!

In this episode we decided that box anime is cool. And by “box anime” we mean, “Kekkaishi.” Also, ice cream.

Okay so admittedly I just beat MGS4, so at the moment I’m busy going “OMG MGS4 MGS4!!!!” therefore actual show notes aren’t exactly on my mind. Though I am sad to find out the Wal-Mart sale is apparently already over so… oops. Hopefully those of you out there will have already realized this deal and have bought one!

The rest of you should follow my lead and steal I mean borrow them from all your friends that just obtained those PS3s and play Metal Gear Solid 4 on them. I want to say that this new Metal Gear is good enough that you’ll want to buy a PS3 anyway, but I know that’s just the MGS fanboy in me and that overall the 360 is still
the better gaming system.

… Maybe.

Kekkaishi is also an awesome show and an even more awesome manga. You should go buy all of the manga now. They have 14 volumes so far out so you have plenty to catch up on!

Oh and email us (osmcast@gmailDOTcom), comment, voice mail, let us know you exist, the usual.

Metal Gear!!!
