OSMcast: The Worst 10 Anime of the 2000s OSM(crap)awards!

I have nothing witty to say here.

Normally on the OSMcast!, we tend to try and talk about the things that we like. Things that are awesome. Sometimes awesomely good, sometimes awesomely bad. Occasionally however, we decide to get our hate on. This is that kind of show. HOWEVER, what we DO bring along with this (2 HOUR) cornucopia of bile and anger is an awesome guest: Gerald of Anime World Order!

Haters Gonna Hate WARNING: This is a podcast about griping. Sometimes on things we have gone on the record of saying that are awesome! It happens! Nothing is perfect, not even Giant Ro- Okay ASIDE FROM GIANT ROBO, everything has it’s issues. And we will be talking a lot about those things. Please realize that we also do like many, many things, that you can find in other the OSMcast’s Index of OSMs Past, and AWO’s Review Index.

THERE. DONE. OVER. Now nothing more can be said that hasn’t about the 2000s! We just finished it off! Boo-yah! Well, OK. Perhaps that is not the case. But nevertheless, we should look our eyes upon to THE FUTURE! And the future is the OSMcast will be in TWO count ’em TWO anime cons in June. INSANITY. Those two cons? Why had you read the entry for the previous podcast, you’d know! They are HamaCon (June 4-6, Huntsville, AL) and Seishun-Con (June 25-27, Atlanta, GA). We will be doing a bazillion panels and things there. You should check them out if at all possible!

OSMcast: Kick-Ass 5-17-2010

The name says it all, really.

With summer comes summer movies. Comic book movies. We tend to like both these things so we have a podcast for people who like comic book movies. In particularthis go-around, Kick -Ass!

PROMO: Anime82! Host, mad-man, genius Regan Strongblood had a dream. He would talk about anime, and then get a bunch of other podcasters to talk about anime on his same show. The results, they are substantial.

OSMnotes

Speaking of the Anime82 podcast, the last third of the OMEGA-MECHA-THON-2000 should be posted soon, and will have Basil, Kevin, and Lee blabbing on about Mazinkaiser. Pretty good stuff!

And in OSMcast news, June is filled with ACTION-PACKED PANEL EXCITEMENT. DJÂ EXCITEMENT. We are going to two cons. Same month. MADNESS. HamaCon, and Seishun-Con.

OSMinterview: Spike Spencer @ MTAC Odyssey

Spike Spencer

What’s this?! A bonus episode out of nowhere?! Say it ain’t so! You see, at MTAC Odyssey we teamed yup with the wonderful gentlemen of the Chainsaw Buffet podcast to interview Spike Spencer. Spike, has done many a role in anime and video games, but is most likely best known for doing the voice of Shinji from Neon Genesis Evangelion. And since the Chainsaw Buffet guys have already released their version of interview, we decided to use the magic of RSS feeds to let you in on the action! So if you notice the completely different opening song, that’s why.

OSMcast: MTAC Odyssey 5-3-2010

“It is said that as many days as there are in the whole journey, so many are the otaku and podcasters that stand along the road, each microphone and netbook at the interval of a day’s journey; and these are stayed neither by snow nor rain nor heat nor darkness nor asstons of even more rain from accomplishing their appointed course with all speed.” – Podcaster’s Creed of the PersianÂEmpire (trans. B.A. Berchekas 2010)

MTAC Odyssey

That’s right folks, despite the crazy, crazy rains that have plagued Nashville and it’s metropolitan area ss well as the rest of Tennessee, the OSMcast has soldiered on through crappy hotel dives and Dunkin Donuts to bring you our super-omega-omni-cast MTAC Odyssey con review. It’s a whopping knee-slappin’ one hour, twenty fours minutes, and thirty nine seconds of Middle Tennessee Anime Convention Goodness. It has our con reviews spanning all three days, interviews with you the con-goers yourselves, as well as a chat we had with Media Relations and Advertising Director Christi Binkley and Community Relations Director Nicholas Qualls.

OSMcrap: “The REALLY real real Ohayocon 10 Experience”

The realliest!

Since we are about to go to a whole other new con in a matter of weeks, it’s high-time we finish what we started with Ohayocon and bring to you The REALLY real real Ohayocon 10 Experience! That’s right, REAL podcasters talking to REAL con-goers. It’s so real, you’ll probably not want to listen to it the car, for fear of wrecking due to the high amounts of Real involved.

And not because since it was stuff recorded on the show floor its kinda hard to make it out sometimes NOPE.

OH GOD MTAC IS SO SOON ALSO SO NOT READY

20th Century King: A look at Naoki Urasawa: the OSMcast! will be looking at one of the most awesome manga and anime creators of our time, Naoki Urasawa. Perhaps you may have heard of him! We’ll be looking stuff from as early as Yawara! A Fashionable Judo Girl (Maybe even Beta!!!), through Master Keaton and Monster, and even his latest stuff like 20th Century Boys, PLUTO, and Billy Bat. We’ll also be coving the various forms his works have taken, like the Monster anime (that has been running on SciF- I mean, SyFy, and the 20th Century Boys live action films.

Tsundere: Why do we love the ones that hate us most?: The panel we ran at Ohayocon returns, bigger, badder, slightly less out of our asses! Ah, tsunderes. You know they lov- hate you! But I love you! But I hate you! But possibly type is best exemplified by say, Akane from Ranma 1/2. This is a panel dedicated to those wonderful ladies (and guys in some cases) that can go from raging demon to moe moe in under six seconds. We, the intrepid risk takers and go getters here at the OSMcast! will be talking about this most classic of anime tropes. The history, the whys, the hows, and we’ll probably even get pissed off at you, before secretly showing that we actually like you.

The Works of Rumiko Takahashi: This is a panel borne from the hot fiery shounen brolliance that is the OSMrenditions (OSMcast! + Akihabara Renditions) this is a panel where we talk about Rumiko Takahashi. And probably argue about her stuff a lot. It should be pretty entertaining!

OSMcast: Mass Effect 2 4-5-2010

Mordin: This is the new why you play Mass Effect.

It’s a new month! To celebrate the OSMcast! decided to talk about a game from the even more not-too distant past than the last time. So here’s a podcast where we talk about BioWare’s scifi RPG/shooter hybrid sequel Mass Effect 2!

OSMnotes

The OSMcast! is once again going to MTAC! And, craziness of craziness, we are running panels. Several, in fact!

  • 20th Century King: A look at Naoki Urasawa: the OSMcast! will be looking at one of the most awesome manga and anime creators of our time, Naoki Urasawa. Perhaps you may have heard of him!

OSMcast: The Top 10 Anime of the 2000s OSMawards!

The gold color scheme means it’s special.

That’s right! AWO isn’t the only podcast doing a “decade in review” podcast months after everyone else did one! We’ve got one too! Although ours is a little different. Basil, Eric, Kevin, and Rail worked up our each individual Top 10s and then we talk about them in a monolithic almost two hours iron-caged deathmatch of DEATH.

While wearing audio-tuxedos.

Because we’re classy.

OSMnotes

Hopefully you have found something you liked! If not, that only means you are already us relistening to ourselves talk. So cut it out, will ya?!

As always, comment, email, voice mail! If anyone wants a full listing, I know that I (Basil) have my list that I can post, and I’m pretty sure so does Kevin, and probably Eric and Rail, too. Or I guess we could listen and jot everything down manually… Nah…

Next time, something from the wacky fun-filled world of OHAYOCON!

OSMtable: A Roundtable About Webcomics

See it’s from a webcomic and it has a round table! That’s COMEDY!

In this episode we try something new and exciting! In this episode Eric, Sooz, Lee, and Mysterious Racer X talk about webcomics. The Whats, Hows, Whys, all that jazz!

AND MORE!

Or perhaps not. The only way to find out, however, is to listen!

I stole Lee’s image Promo Link: HAZARD’S WAKE! It is a comic. That Lee does. It makes RPG jokes. Usually they are pretty good ones. You should read it. And laugh.

I stole Sooz’s image last time Promo Link: Reliquary! This is also a comic. That Sooz does. It tends to not make RPG jokes. You should read this too.

OSMnotes

So in lieu of these exciting experimental times, you should also break tradition and tell us what you think! Comment! Email! Call!

Although as we said in the opening bit, the first 14 minutes will be somewhat choppy, but totally listen-able. SO LISTEN.

OSMinterview: Jerry Jewell @ Ohayocon 10

This photo of Jerry Jewell is evidence that all photos taken in Texas must look like they come from old Westerns. It’s true!

Trudging back forth from the cold, cold North to the slightly less cold, cold South, the OSMcast brings you this interview from the always awesome voice actor Jerry Jewell! He has done some greats roles such as Barry The Chopper from Fullmetal Alchemist, Claire Stanfield from Baccano!, and all sorts of stuff.

Super Cool Music Link: The Peach Truck Republic! This is the fact the jamband that Jerry speaks of! The one that he plays bass in and also vocals! Turns out, Jerry plays a pretty mean bass. And the songs, they are rockin’. We played some of their music in the breaks to give you all a taste, but clicking that link can lead you on to even more amazing things like CDs filled to the brim of music, that you can actually buy.

OSMnotes

Okay so it’s been a month between updates… again. We’d try and say we promise to not be more like AWO in this instance… But now that they’ve started splitting up their episodes to have a different chuck each week instead of one huge update a month, we can’t even say that! But this really should not be a problem in the foreseeable future. We hope.

Also, welcome everyone from Ohayocon that might be visiting us right now! We are glad you came! You should check out the Index of OSM and see what other podcast goodies we may have lying in wait for you. Or hell, just subscribe to the RSS feed with you podcatcher of choice! You know you want to. We recorded a few different segments at the con, which we’ll be rolling out to you all as time marches forward. In the meantime, you can also email us, comment, or even call the OSMline (which may or may not also be Aaron Dismuke’s phone number)!

But here’s a fun fact! I don’t know if we mentioned it or not in this version of the interview, but Jerry has gotten the most google search hits out of anything ever for this podcast. The only term that’s asked for more is “OSMcast” itself. So we know you like Jerry, folks. We know!
