It's a Christmas miracle, everybody! We're joined once again by Mike Toole, hot off the release of the 2017 Crunchyroll Holiday Special, to talk about 1998's Brain Powerd, directed by--yep, you guessed it!--Yoshiyuki Tomino. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

It's once again Thanksgiving time, which means it's time for another trivia episode! We're joined by animal handler, alcohol connoisseur, cosplayer, and anime nerd Emma Bowers as Gerald unleashes another barrage of trivia questions for us to either not know, pretend to not know, and in some cases actually know! The perfect thing to listen to rather than interact with your visiting relatives who you can't stand to talk to anyway! Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

For this SPOOKY HALLOWEEN edition of Anime World Order, we're not even attempting to review anything scary whatsoever, as Gerald weighs in on one of the most popular and beloved anime titles of the decade, the 2016 anime film Your Name by Makoto Shinkai. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Hurricane Irma may have left us without power for weeks but we are FINALLY back to talk about our time at Otakon 2017 before Daryl reviews the 2001 film Osamu Tezuka?s Metropolis. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

After saying we'd do it back during our Garzey's Wing review and then proceeding to put it off for nearly six years due to fear, the time has finally come. We're joined once again by The Internet's Mike Toole, now Editor-at-Large for the Anime News Network and still the biweekly author of The Mike Toole Show to talk about the six-part ONA series The Wings of Rean. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

In this episode, Gerald reviews the just-recently concluded (for now, anyway!) Saga of Tanya the Evil. Will this turn out exactly as envisioned, or exactly the opposite? ONLY ONE WAY TO FIND OUT. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Since we've got to spend most of June working on panels, we'll try and knock out an episode or two this month. This time around, Clarissa reviews the relatively recent anime series Flying Witch, for which print editions of the manga have just started to be released in English. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Though technically it's already like a year late, we finally review Mobile Suit Gundam 00! Note: this isn't edited. Like, at all in fact. Normally we edit for clarity and to remove cross-talk, excess noise, table banging, and the like. NOT THIS TIME. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

It's been entirely too long since we've reviewed something from before the 1980s, so we all checked out the Toei Douga 1975 film adaptation of The Little Mermaid to see how it compares to the original story...and yes, the Disney film everyone knows! Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

We're not done awakening the trailblazers yet as planned, so for this special extra large THANKSGIVING DAY episode, Gerald's put together another exciting trivia episode to expose how little Daryl and Clarissa know, even when the topics pertain to things previously reviewed on this very show! Plus, we're joined by Dawn from the Anime Nostalgia Podcast, who agreed to show up mere hours before the start of recording and mere minutes after waking up.
