#154 - Con-versations: Otakon 2024 feat. Coop and Maddy!

Third Impact Anime Podcast

10/07/24 • 181 min

We went to our biggest anime convention yet and what better way to celebrate than having our longest Con-versations episode yet. This time, Austin and Tori review Otakon 2024 which was held in Washington, DC from August 2-4th, 2024. This episode would have been out earlier, but between life stuff and us recording for over three and a half hours, it was a lot to get through. Totally worth it though, if you ask me, due in large part to our very special guests, Coop and Maddy! Coop you may know from their work at Discotek Media, Anime News Network, AnimEigo, J-Novel Club, and their own podcast, Dude, You Remember Macross? and Maddy you may have heard appear on shows like Giant Robot FM and Chatty AF: The Anime Feminist Podcast. Both of them are very cool, kind folks who yapped with us for way too long about an awesome convention weekend.

00:00:00 - Introduction and everyone's history with Otakon (or lack-thereof)
00:24:40 - Venue talk, including artist's alley and dealer's room
00:40:53 - Fan panels, and a tangent about Gundam
01:05:58 - Industry panels, with tangents about EGL fashion, gas stations, and more
02:08:04 - The Great and the Terrible of autograph sessions
02:24:04 - Cosplay talk! And an aside about places to eat around the con
02:51:12 - Most iconic moment(s)
02:56:41 - Social medias and outro

#112 - Interview with Jonathan Tarbox! Talking Leiji Matsumoto, Anime Conventions, and working in Manga!

Third Impact Anime Podcast

07/20/21 • 66 min

Hey everyone! Look, another interview!

For the third entry in our Leiji Matsumoto interview series, Sully chats with Jonathan Tarbox about Matsumoto’s WWII comic The Cockpit and how it relates to Ivan Morris’s analysis of Japanese literature and the “nobility of failure.” Jonathan also talks about his experiences in the anime convention scene, working in the manga industry in Japan, and what makes The Cockpit one of Matsumoto’s most fascinating works, even without a proper English release.

Jonathan Tarbox graduated from Oberlin College and did graduate work at the University of Chicago and Indiana University. Jonathan has worked as an editor at COAMIX and DC Comics, working on titles such as Claymore, Fist of the North Star, and Black Cat, and has taught at UC San Diego and California State University. He gives panels and lectures at anime and pop culture conventions across the globe, and has worked as a translator and editor in the manga industry. Enjoy!

#145 - Anime Secret Santa 2023

Third Impact Anime Podcast

12/23/23 • 148 min

And if youuuuu caaaaannnn believe it, it's Christmas once again!

We're happy to present (ha) our 2023 Anime Secret Santa Special! If you're not familiar with this project, the kind folks over at the Taiiku Podcast (formerly the All Geeks Considered Podcast, formerly more-so the Reverse Thieves Podcast) organize an annual Secret Santa swap between various bloggers and podcasters in the fandom space.

The way it works is that every year, you're randomly assigned a Secret Santa, and they pick three shows for you to check out based on what you've seen via your favorite anime tracking site (MyAnimeList, Kitsu, Anime Planet, etc.). Then, you are to review at least one of those shows and either write or podcast about it. Austin, Tobias, and Bill all participated this year with their own individual picks, and here we are reviewing them all at once for a fun Christmas extravaganza!

Here's what we got from Santa-san this Christmas:

KILL ME BABY and STAR DRIVER (Tobias)
SAMURAI FLAMENCO and LOVE LIVE! SUPERSTAR!! (partial review) (Austin)
KAIJI: ULTIMATE SURVIVOR and DEVILMAN CRYBABY (Bill)

Please enjoy, and thanks again to Kory and the Taiiku Podcast for hosting this awesome annual event once again! It's not Christmas without Anime Secret Santa, so thank you from the bottom of our kokoro.

The thumbnail image (depending on what pod-catcher you're viewing this on) is our official TIA Christmas card, designed by PeachCannoli on Instagram. Be sure to give them a follow!

Third Impact Anime Podcast

05/09/22 • 139 min

Here it is! Our Definitive Top 15 ranking of the best anime movies of the 2010s. We said we were going to do this all the way back in episode 89 where we talked about our favorite TV series' of the decade, but shortly after that a little global pandemic came along and garbled our brains. Two years and 20+ episodes later, we finally came through! Please enjoy this fun episode that pretty well defines our tastes as a podcast.

Shout out to the Insert Credit Podcast for the template that we borrowed to do our rankings. If you have an issue with our list, cry to us on social media about it! Do it! For those that don't want to listen and just want our list, you can check it out on Austin's Anime-Planet profile here.

Hosted by Austin (@bebopshock and @[email protected]), Tori (@WorstWaifu and @[email protected]), and Tobias (@Reverend_Tobias and @[email protected]).

#156 - Re: Cutie Honey feat. Jessica Calvello, David Wald, and Salvatore (RetroSofa)

Third Impact Anime Podcast

11/14/24 • 132 min

Honey Flash! Sully and returning guest Salvatore (@RetroSofa) sit down with VA and dub director David Wald and OG Cutie Honey dub actress Jessica Calvello to discuss their work on the recent English dub for the 2004 OVA Re: Cutie Honey from Discotek! Topics include how Go Nagai chose Jessica for the role of Honey, how dubbing has changed since Jessica first took the role in the 90s for New Cutie Honey, and what makes Honey so special all these years later.

An important note: This was recorded a few months ago, prior to David's statement on Crunchyroll opening his fan mail without his knowledge and dispersing the contents to their staff. Upon David's request, we didn't go back and add any additional mention of this in the episode, but we did want to state here in text that we are deeply disappointed in Crunchyroll's behavior and we encourage anyone listening or reading this to support David and call upon Crunchyroll to do better.

Time stamps:

00:00:00 - Intro and Jessica's long history with the character
00:12:59 - Bringing back returning cast members from previous Cutie Honey and Go Nagai anime projects
00:15:49 - David's thoughts on directing dubs for "archival anime" as opposed to newly airing anime
00:18:04 - Salvatore on being a Cutie Honey super-fan, archivist, and working with Discotek Media
00:27:07 - Jessica and David on the nuances and differences across the various Cutie Honey series'
00:40:21 - How does Jessica approach the work of acting within the limitations of anime
00:46:04 - Jessica and David on dub script adaptation and directing
00:53:26 - A brief aside about Excel Saga and Jessica's "Excel Saga Journal"
01:03:49 - Knowing that Cutie Honey is a very fanservice heavy show, how do you approach that with pathos?
01:15:45 - David's approach to the lesbian text of Cutie Honey
01:27:39 - Casting Kayleigh McKee as Black Claw
01:34:46 - What's Cutie Honey's appeal for Salvatore?
01:50:49 - Salvatore asks about the mythical Cutie Honey CGI project that never materialized
02:01:24 - Jessica has a crucial question for Salvatore: Is Cutie Honey an android or a magical girl?
02:07:36 - Would Jessica and David return to dub Cutie Honey Flash if given the chance?
02:10:27 - Outro
