OSMcast! & The Carbuncle Chronicle - OSMcast! Show #193: Gunbuster

OSMcast! Show #193: Gunbuster

11/12/24 • 95 min

From 1988 to 1989, the anime studio Gainax gave us a six episode OAV(OVA?) series known as Gunbuster. It had it all: Giant robots, space aliens, ladies from an all-girls school training in giant robots to fight the space aliens, the whole nine yards! Then in 2023, Discotek Media gave an outstanding Blu-ray release of that show complete with a brand new English dub handled by Sound Cadence Studios. And then in 2024, the OSMcast! gave the world a podcast about Discotek Media’s Blu-ray release of the anime Gunbuster by Gainax. But also joining us to talk about Gunbuster is Melissa Sternenberg, the voice of Kazumi Amano from the Sound Cadence Studios English dub production for the Discotek Media Blu-ray release of the anime Gunbuster by Gainax. We also talk about Glass Mask way more than expected, but not unappreciated.

OSMinterview! Rebecca Forstadt on 6/10/2024

John is back with another interview, and this time it’s with the one and only Rebecca Forstadt. Her voice has been in tons of anime, like for example: Nunnally Lamperouge in Code Geass, Rika Furude in When They Cry, as well as Tima from Metropolis. Or perhaps you may better know her as Reba West, when she was the voice of Lynn Minmei in Robotech. It’s a great conversation that covers her career, her blogging, and all sorts of things.

Next Episode

The Carbuncle Chronicle Issue 26: A Last Look at Dawntrail, Before the Patches

Hello Adventurers! While our last episode was all about our journey through Dawntrail as it was happening, this one is looking back at after finishing the Mainline Story Quest (colloquially known as the MSQ). Since we are now in the thick of Patch 7.1: Crossroads, we wanted to make sure to take a beat before the patch hit and get our thoughts out before the game continues to change and grow.

Joining us in reminiscing of uh, times not all that long passed, is our pal Umi aka Doug from OSMcast proper. He gives us a blow by blow of all the Jobs he’s been playing since the new expansion came out, and came up with some excellent sound design tips! And how about that MSQ , huh? Stuff sure happens, and we talk all about it! Finally, we get ourselves all hyped up for the new patch (which is already out). If you want our thoughts on that however, you’ll just have to... Wait for it.

Spoiler Levels: Creamy Alpaca Pasta! These rustic handmade noodles are boiled until tender, then tossed in a pan with grilled alpaca fillet and broccoli florets in a cream sauce. This hearty dish is the perfect compliment to both speeding up your spells’ cast times, but also for really digging into the spoilers that we chat about in the later portions of the episode.
