Anime World Order Show # 25 - Anime With Girls Who Kick Butt

It's all about the catfights this week as Clarissa talks about Air Master, Daryl reviews Shadow Skill, and Gerald discusses Project A-Ko! Outrageous! Truly outrageous!

Introduction (0:00 - 28:10)
We answer emails! Former contributor to the long-gone EX Darius Washington writes in to talk about Crusher Joe and sound off, Tim Eldred--whom we interviewed in Show #14--writes in with his viewpoints on the supposed lack of zeal among today's anime fans (PS: buy Grease Monkey! In stores now!), Ichigo from the Anime-Pulse podcast (hey cool, we won their Podcast Pickle contest!) has a SHOCKING REVELATION for us, and a 14 year-old girl tells us all about how she's able to buy yaoi and shota without being checked for ID! Then Clarissa helps contribute to the delinquency of all the minors that we've got listening despite the Explicit tags by offering additional tips on how to do the same!

Let's News! (28:10 - 43:28)
Even kids in Japan can't follow the panel layouts in manga, Dark Horse has to edit Cannon God Exaxxion (which we reviewed back in Show # 9), the Japanese have come up with something even MORE terrifying than that moe burger place, and the US release of Speed Grapher won't have "Girls on Film" by Duran Duran as its theme song! If anyone from Funimation's listening, Daryl offers the PERFECT solution. Rock over London, rock on Chicago. Finally, the details for the limited edition of Patlabor Movie 2 have been released. That comes out on July 11th, so preorder it to save $30 or so.
  • Google - do an image search for "Pretty Dictator" to see what we're afraid of (probably not work safe)

Promo: Eeeper's Choice (43:28 - 44:20)
For you anime fans in the UK, or at least we think he's from the UK, here's a brand-new podcast that's just started up for you guys! Two episodes in and he's already got an interview with Manga Entertainment UK's head of marketing! If it were Daryl conducting that interview, the entire thing would have been about Angel Cop, Violence Jack, and Mad Bull.

Review: Air Master (44:20 - 1:02:51)
Daryl really wanted to do this one, but Clarissa had first dibs on this most radical TV show from 2004. This is some of the best animated, best choreographed fighting anime has to offer, so naturally Toei went and screwed up the Region 1 DVD release. In fact, they did such a piss-poor job that we're just going to say "screw it all": here's a link to a torrent for the entire series!

Promo: R5 Central (1:02:51 - 1:03:31)
The more of these ACen promos we hear, the more we realize that much of R5 Central is what is presumably written in Mike's Livejournal, only in audio format. Or so we'd imagine; his Livejournal is friends-only and only Clarissa actually has an account at that terrifying place.

Review: Shadow Skill (1:03:51 - 1:20:56)
Daryl thinks that if there's any fault to be found in Air Master, it's that most of the time all the bloodletting is courtesy of really severe nosebleeds and not much else. Shadow Skill however, is BY FAR AND AWAY the bloodiest and therefore most violent "girls kicking ass" anime reviewed in this episode. Recoil in terror as Daryl leaves in all of his arcane Fist of the North Star references! Actually, his likening of Yuki Minaguchi's fighting style to that of Nanto Koshuu Ken crossed with judo was stolen by the thoughtbird during the Air Master segment and he just forgot to say it. You have to get these names RIGHT, damn it! Geometry Man? GEOMETRY MAN?!
Review: Project A-Ko (1:20:56 - 1:38:03)
Daryl promised not to edit in any of the many jokes that were presumably removed from this segment, and so he has remained true to his word as Gerald talks about this classic anime parody. Arguments ensue over whether or not non-anime fans can tell that this is a comedy since the jokes are almost all inside references: Daryl postulates the answer is no, citing as evidence the years in which he thought this was the MOST BADASS CARTOON EVER CRAFTED BY THE HANDS OF MAN. Gerald postulates that Daryl's Ultimate Eye may in fact be Asperger's Syndrome.

Closing (1:38:03 - 1:44:05)
Man, this has to be the longest show we've ever done. Thanks to everyone who voted for us over at Podcast Pickle, getting us into the Top 10! BUT...on Saturday they're wiping the board clean and we have to start over from zero! Rats! Oh well, just go and vote for us again! The Podcast Awards starts up on July 1st as well, but that's something that you'd have to vote for us every day for two weeks straight (while following their specific rules about voting). If you're up for it, perhaps you could vote for us in the Podcast of the Year and...hmm, Movies/Films? The chances of winning anything here are slim to none, but hey! That's what we thought about getting into the Podcast Pickle Top 10!

Next week, it's time we remembered the time when we used to have multiple different kinds of segments! Clarissa's going to review Shinesman, Gerald's got a rant about the licensing practices of the US and Japanese anime industries, and Daryl's going to throw down with a frank and MOST DANGEROUS discourse on the SECOND worst anime ever made...

M.D. Geist.

We may never agree on what the worst anime ever made is, but we can all agree that MD Geist is the SECOND worst.
