Here’s episode four of the podcast, dedicated to the movies of Keita Amemiya, his movies and short films (his TV shows and games will be later podcasts… and maybe artbooks, manga, and stage shows, we’ll see). This episode’s topics include:

There’s some popping in the audio early in the episode, but that mercifully goes away after a couple of minutes; not sure what the cause of that was. Also, I had a lapsus linguae at one point and referred to Yuko Moriyama as Yuko Moriya. Oops.

Show-note Miscellany

Here are some youtube videos so you can sort of see what we were talking about:

I don’t actually see Amemiya’s name in the SD Kamen Rider credits, so I think imdb might be wrong about this one.

Trailer time!

More clips! These are to take a look at some of Amemiya’s effects work.

The Peacock King trailer credits Takashige Ichise, but both Amemiya and Shinji Higuchi were also on effects.

Here’s the new episode of our podcast, which, for accounting purposes, will get called episode 2, even though we recorded it after episode 3 (the original file got lost). This one will focus on mangaka Rumiko Takahashi, and the myriad adaptations of her work, in the early part of her career up to 1987, with a second podcast to follow eventually.

We forgot to introduce ourselves this time, but Kevn is the one annoyingly starting every statement with the word “yeah” (I’ll work on fixing that, I promise!) and Josh (AKA Captain Casual) is the one doing a very good job of ignoring the Texas Rangers game in the background.

Huh? What happened to episode 2, you say? Long story short is that it’s locked away on broken computer, but should hopefully get recovered. In the meantime, we went ahead with episode 3, going over an old panel about international reinterpretations of anime and manga. We talk about stuff like this:

and this

and this

Just not those things specifically because we forgot about them.

The slides are up here.
