OSMcast! & The Carbuncle Chronicle

2018 was a year. A year were things happened.Mostly terrible, but there was some stuff hiding around, poking about. At the very least, fifteen things.

OK so maybe it's no longer the spookytimes right now. Right now, it's all New Year, New You, New Year's Resolutions, and all that kind of stuff times. Well how about a new OSMinterview? Let's go back in time, back when it would be all spooky and stuff! Because what we have here, is an interview with YouTube's own Mr. Creepy Pasta!

He reads stories. That are creepy. They may, or may not, have pasta in them.

Welcome to 2019, everybody! We are just so glad you could make it. In honor of such an auspicious occasion, we have an episode we recorded back in November of 2018! It's actually a whole new format! Kinda. Since our uh, "acquisition" of the Chainsaw Buffet Podcast a short while ago, I have these amazing guys on occasion to gab with. So we decided that whenever we can pin them down (usually at cons), we will! And we did. So here is an episode with mostly the TN Crew! It's all very exciting.

Time Cues? Time Cues!

Hello world! The OSMcast is back yet again with questions and answers, but we're asking the questions here this time! That's our deal! Well, we struck a dark bargain with Erika Harlacher, at any rate. What was that dark, terrible bargain? That we could ask her questions, and she would give us answers! All in all, it was a pretty sweet deal.

Now, you may wonder whom this Erika Harlacher is. Do not fret, for we shall tell you! She is an amazing voice actress, that has done many a cool Japanese animation. Things like oh I dunno... Violet Evergarden in Violet Evergarden? Or perhaps Jeanne d'Arc (Ruler) in Fate/Apocrypha would be more your speed. Netflix folks (aka everyone) would recognize her from her role of  Elizabeth Liones in The Seven Deadly Sins? I particularly enjoyed her work as Kurapika in Hunter x Hunter!

But let's face facts, I'm sure everyone really recognizes her as 
 Ann Takamaki in the smash hit video software known as Persona 5. And that is perfectly fine.

So back in the far flung past (last month or so*) we solicited questions from the people. Mostly on Twitter. Also via spamming Third Impact Anime's Facebook Community. These are those questions. And our answers! In December. Look, time is an illusion, we all know this. 

*Pretty sure the idea was to record in October, then release in November? But now it's December. Hi December! 

Ryan is a pretty cool dude and you can check out his Twitter right here!

Thanks everyone for sending in questions! Some, we'll have to come back to you all on them. As some are really whole episode topics in their own right (Looking at you, Top Ten Anime Betrayals)! But until next time, have some Time Cues:

Hi everybody! This time around we have got yet another awesome interview for you! At Hamacon 9, we had the chance to sit down with Marianne Miller, whom you may remember from our previous interview, but more likely remember her from her roles on shows like Little Witch Academia, or FLCL Alternative. Either way, enjoy!

Warning of Triggers: We do go down some dark rabbit holes. Maybe all of them? certainty a bunch of them. It's an excellent listen, but be forewarned!

OK so, we here at the OSMcast are not exactly a um, well. dealers in the visual medium. We deal more in the business of audio. If we were a Transformer, we'd be best represented by Blaster or Soundwave. Really what we are getting at here is that this episode is a whole audio feast about a visual medium known as costume play. You know, cosplay. Specially, an interview with the wonderful cosplayers Scissor Wizard Cosplay and Lula Cosplay. There were the cosplay guests for Hamacon 9, and we were very happy to chat with them about costuming.

If you happen to be in North Alabama this weekend, Lulu Cosplay will be at the Hamacon Minicon 2018, selling amazing things and also running a workshop about making kanzashi flowers~

Also Basil has panels, Dylan runs the Analog gaming area, and it's just going to be a blast. You should go!

When we last checked into the Momocon Indie Games area when they started in 2015, we covered 18 games. Well, now it's 2018! So how many games did we check out in this year's Momocon? counts 23? GOOD LORD. Here's our takes on said 23 games, live from the archives during Momocon 2018.

In this latest and greatest of the OSMcast, we have yet another OSMinterview! John sat down with the one and only Austin Tindle, a voice-over artist that has been in many a great anime. He was folks like Crowley Eusford (Seraph of the End), Ken Kaneki (Tokyo Ghoul), Marco Bodt (Attack on Titan), Karma Akabane (Assassination Classroom), Avilio Bruno (91 Days), and more! So stay a while and listen~

OK folks strap in, because we are about to get up into some serious moon power. That's right, we are talking about the animated sensation that's bigger than Power Rangers and Turtles COMBINED. Aw yea, we are talking about everyone's favorite, Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon! Well, the movies anyway! We recently got to catch theatrical release of Sailor Moon R, S, AND SuperS and we just couldn't wait to yammer about them on a microphone. Please share and enjoy!

You ever think we would be smart to look into any form of referral links for these things? Geez, that would be smart! Oh well, maybe next time? Probably not. Meanwhile, here have some Time Cues:
