I GUESS you could see it in 3D but we didn’t!

So. Podcast. Gozilla. 2014.

What else is there to say?

Well a bunch actually as this is a pretty packed OSMcast! We introduce a brand new segment all about this MMO that the whole crew is playing aka Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn! Sure we say it’s a minute do is it ever? We also bring back the love as well with the hate, and then top it all off with a movie that the cew general loved, but Basil was a sourpus about.

What’s with that Basil anyway hatin’ on Norway like that!

Oh no! There goes you go go going to see Godzilla? Perhaps! Or maybe you want to hop on Leviathan server on Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn and play with the OSMcast? We’ll allow it! Just send us a message if you do, through email or whatever social media you’d like.

Or perhaps you are getting hyped about Hamacon? You should it’s going to be AMAZING.

And hey Time Cues yeah we got those right here:

Sometimes, you gotta spin the wheel, play the cards, hit the Greed button in an MMO and hope you come out of the dungeon with a pretty cool new thing. At this past MTAC (that MTAC In Love con you’ve been hearing so much from us about?), we took a chance. We had an interview that we seriously had no clue what was going to happen.

Thankfully, we came out of it with a pretty cool new thing! And that thing is this interview. We got the chance to sit down and chat with  Vedetta Marie and ScatterDOTFashion, a cosplay and Japanese fashion due par excellance.

Now, you may think that the OSMcast is nothing but glamor, pizazz, and fashionability, but really all we know about fashion comes from Jojo’s Bizarre Adventures and Paradise Kiss. Which isn’t nearly enough keep up with these fashionista kids.

However, they are totally cool people and it ended up being a really fun talk. Would chat with again! Five stars (Out of OSM, obviously)!

We want to give a gigantic thanks to both Vedetta Marie, ScatterDOTFashion, and MTAC for the chance for the interview. And since it was more press conference style, we were’t the only ones there asking the questions! You also heard questions from Charlie from the Chainsaw Buffet, as well as Andrew from A Man and His Pod, among others. So big shout outs to them as well. Yes, we gave them shout outs before, and will likely do so again. In, you know, about a week or two.

Next week, what could it be?! Well we haven’t recorded yet, buuuuuuut it’s probably Godzilla.

JUST ONE uh… something? Just one.. Yeah…

What happens when you get a starry-eyed fresh cut vigilante paired up with an only slightly-nonsense cop? Oh, and make it an anime?

You get Samurai Flamenco, animated by Manglobe.

What happens wehn you get some people talking into a microphone about an anime about a starry-eyed fresh cut vigilante paired up with an only slightly-nonsense cop?

You get a podcast about Samurai Flamenco.

Watch Samurai Flamenco on Crunchyroll and stuff. You should get on that.

And have some Time Cues , while you’re here:

Samurai Flamenco

The Hatmaster. Or Meister. Anime loves Meisters.

We’re not done MTAC in Lovin’ yet, folks! We had a chance to sit down several amazing people during this year MTAC, and we have only just begun releasing those interviews! But out of all of them, Samantha Inoue-Harte might be the most interesting of bunch. At the very least, she has them all beat in just sheer quantities of hats she has worn throughout the years.

We’re talking animator hats, voice over artist hats, producer hats, gore effects person hats, and more but pretty much all around delightful hats. Lately, according to MTAC, “Samantha is a Producer and Partner at Animetropolis, a boutique transmedia studio that develops and produces compelling cross-cultural creative content with partnering Japanese Anime studios. Animetropolis partnered with IDA (International Digital Artists) as production partner and lead animation unit for a Japanese/American co-produced CG-animated feature adaptation of Tailchaser’s Song, the acclaimed best-selling fantasy novel by author Tad Williams.”

She talks about that, and a whole lot more. So much more.

We want to give a gigantic thanks to both Samantha Inoue-Harte and MTAC for the chance for the interview. And since it was more press conference style, we were’t the only ones there asking the questions! You also heard questions from  John and Charlie from the Chainsaw Buffet, as well as  Andrew from A Man and His Pod, among others. So big shout outs to them as well. Yes, we gave them shout outs before, and will likely do so again. In, you know, about a week or two.

But what’s next week going to hold? Flamencos. Samurais. Samurai Flamenco.

Another Year, another Easter, another MTAC. Like in years  of the past, we ventured into the Middle Tennessee Anime Convention for their latest year, MTAC In Love. But. were we in love with the con this year?

Well, like any loving relationship, we had our ups, and our downs. There were some missed communications, but at the same time there were moments of bliss. Ultimately though, at the end of the day or con or whatever, we could look into each other’s eyes and see that the fire was still there.

Speaking of loving relationships, we are once again joined at the hip with the Chainsaw Buffet podcast for this episode. We wouldn’t want to have it anyother way.

Next week, we’ll be updating! Again! With another interview! How exciting!

But hold your horses folks, but we still have Time Cues. Oh boy!

It’s time to ta- ta- ta- talk!

At MTAC in Love, we got the rare opportunity to interview the king of games himself, Dan Green.

Dan Green is an American voice actor, voice director and script adapter who has worked for 4Kids Entertainment, DuArt Film and Video, NYAV Post and Central Park Media. He is best known as the voice of Yugi Muto from Yu-Gi-Oh!, Trudge from Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s, Knuckles the Echidna in Sonic X and some of the Sonic the Hedgehog video games, and is also known for his script adaptions of Kurokami: The Animation and Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn.

This was Dan’s first appearance at an American anime convention to date.

We want to give a gigantic thanks to both Dan Green and MTAC for the chance for the interview. And since it was more press conference style, we were’t the only ones there asking the questions! You also heard questions from John and Charlie from the Chainsaw Buffet, as well as Andrew from A Man and His Pod, among others. So big shout outs to them as well.

Next week will be our traditional recorded late at night with Chainsaws MTAC podcast that I’m sure everyone is excited for!

Don’t lose your- Man does that joke get old? So far… no!

No time for filler introductions, this OSMcast is about studio Trigger’s first time to really shine and put on it’s Sunday Best for their latest show: Kill la Kill. It reunites director Hiroyuki Imaishi and writer Kazuki Nakashima of Gurren Lagann fame, and we talk all about it.

We also talk about the merits of owning a Nintendo 3DS versus a Playstation Vita, star kiddies, dwarf planets, braving and defaulting some more, shadows, gears, solids, and more!

BUT THEN A WHOLE LOT of kills, las, and some more kills.

Watch it! There are a whole bunch of ways.

Also, we’ll be heading to MTAC this weekend! Much like Kami-con, no panels… Until Basil shows up at some anyway. Hopefully we’ll see Dylan’s latest game! He has at least 2-3 days to make it! If you see him, make sure to ask about it.

We may be launching this episode on April Fool's Day but this is podcast is no joke! By and large, anyway. This is more an excuse to show off Doug's extensive (and still growing teapot!) collection.

If you have ever wanted to know about teapots, what to look for in teapots, or just general teapot knowledge, this the podcast for you.

For teapots.

SURE we talked about some teapots but if you want to SEE the teapots well guess what we got some pictures of Doug's teapots right here!

Link to the main OSMcast website post to see the pictures!

And did you need some Time Cues? We can do that. Basil even went out and found as many relevant links to buying your own as he could. SUCH A GENTLEMAN, THAT BASIL.

UNTIL NEXT TIME

Look, it may come as a surprise to discover that the children might also be wolves. But don’t worry, it’s cool.

So when we last OSMcast!ed we ended up trying a Japanese animated film from an acclaimed filmmaker, we ended up not liking the film nearly as much as we hoped. This time, we decided to go back to our standard method of talking about something we knew we already really liked. Which, so it goes, ended up being yet another Japanese animated film from yet another acclaimed filmmaker: Mamoru Hosoda’s and Studio Madhouse’s film, Wolf Children.

Of course we talk about many other things beforehand, like how magical farts can be, why dragons need to be kicked, and er, iPhone games?

Also, something or other about Norway? Geez what were we thinking…

Buy Wolf Children!

Right now, it’s looking like our next update is happening right before April 1st. How… auspicious. But worry you not, OSMfriends. We take every update and podcast incredibly seriously. No joking around here!

This past weekend the OSMcast decided to hit up our local cinema and see the latest (and perhaps last) film by Hayao Miyazaki, and Studio Ghibli. And as it turns out, it’s kind of a conflicted movie. So here is our own conflicted take on this dual adaption of both the life of Jiro Horikoshi, the man who designed the Mitsubishi A6M Zero, as well as Tatsuo Hori’s short story, The Wind Has Risen. It’s probably not the most glowing review of the movie you’ll find around, and might a touch spoiler-y here and there.

But before you think we are all a bunch of sourpusses, we make sure to gush about some Japanese RPGs and some other things!

Theoretically, the movie should still be in theaters! Here’s a link to the movie’s website. If you can go, you should. To at very least, make up your own minds about the film. And then let us know what you think!

Unless you hated what we thought. In which case, you know what to do.
