Anime World Order

We now have a Patreon! Like so many things we do, this was hastily thrown together to make sure we hit a hard stop deadline. There are not really any um, incentives, to give anything. We didn't really think up goals. It's basically another tip jar for now. patreon.com/animeworldorder

For Show # 252 – Your Choice is Between a Full Color Palette Or Emily Blunt’s Biceps, @Gerald_AWO has this terrible feeling of…of déjà vu as he reviews the feature film anime adaptation of All You Need Is Kill awopodcast.com/2026/04/anime-… got this episode out on the edge of tomorrow!

Introducing AWOmake: an extra for our Patreon backers above the $1 tier! This is a mostly unedited show where we talk about non-anime things. Gerald has thoughts on The Super Mario Galaxy Movie and we all have thoughts on the Fallout series of videogames: patreon.com/posts/awomake-…

In Show # 251 – Let’s All Love Lain! @DarylSurat doesn't seem to understand that we already reviewed Serial Experiments Lain 20 years ago! A shame, he seemed an...incredibly dishonest man, but still! How close to the mark was this series from 28 years ago? awopodcast.com/2026/03/anime-…

In Show # 250 – Everything Happens So Much When Swords Are the Only Gun Known to Man @Gerald_AWO reviews 1983's Prime Rose: A Time Slip of 10,000 Years by Osamu Tezuka! Nudity! Eye gouging! Beheading! Slavery! New goal: 350 patrons, and we review Scarlet! awopodcast.com/2026/02/anime-…

For Show # 249 – Alpakata Combines the Skill of Capoeira With the Kill of Alpaca, it is a brand new year (but not quite a "brand new animal") as @DarylSurat reviews the somehow already half decade old TV series Odd Taxi. Minor to perhaps moderate spoilers: awopodcast.com/2026/01/anime-…

The Anime World Order Spring 2026 season trailer watch-along is going on! discord.gg/7xGwM8a9?event… We've got another like, 75 things coming out just for these next 3 months and we probably don't have the patience to wade through all the narou slop, but join us for the ride anyway!

Up on Patreon free to watch is Gerald from @AnimeWorldOrder's panel about #Anime that is still stuck on VHS that he did @HolidayMatsuri. You can watch it via the link below. #HolidayMatsuri #animecon #convention #HolidayMatsuri2025 patreon.com/posts/146631763

The first episode of the Anime World Order podcast was released 20 years ago: 12/19/05. Today, we release Show #248 – Our Twenty Year Legacy of Shame Is Also Our Third Christmas Roundup, where we look back on it all then recap more anime Christmas episodes awopodcast.com/2025/12/anime-…

For Show # 247 – Red Bard Carves Thanksgiving Turkey Using a RUBBER KNIFE, we are joined by YouTuber and AH Magazine contributor Red Bard for our annual Thanksgiving trivia! HOW MUCH DO THEY KNOW ABOUT BLACK LION?! (NOTE: we mixed up Nobunaga with Ginnai.) awopodcast.com/2025/11/anime-…

If you just saw Angel’s Egg in the theaters, maybe you want a renewed reason to yell at us by listening to our old 2009 review: awopodcast.com/2009/03/anime-… as with all old shows, potential language in here that hasn’t aged well 16 years later, but we did win our Parsec Award for this

For Show # 246 – The Terms and Conditions Didn’t Mention Death, while we don't quite have any bona fide horror anime lined up for you this Halloween season, Clarissa reviews the somewhat eerie and entirely too short anime adaptation of Pet Shop of Horrors. awopodcast.com/2025/10/anime-…

Our Fall 2025 trailer watch along has begun! We thought anime was over but there's even more coming out this season. We've got 68 things lined up which is one short of the magical nice number, so stop on by! Looks like our stage capacity is still just fine discord.gg/RxvasXSM?event…

For Show # 245 – If Sylia Stingray Can Destroy Evil Boomers, What’s Stopping Victoria’s Secret, @Gerald_AWO reviews Bubblegum Crash!, the 3-part sequel to Bubblegum Crisis we reviewed ~17 years ago. A reminder: tomorrow's our Fall 2025 trailer watch along! awopodcast.com/2025/09/anime-…

Join us this Saturday the 27th for our Fall 2025 anime season trailer watch along: discord.gg/animeworldorde… we're shooting for a 3 PM start time, but that's somewhat tentative. On the bright side, our next episode is recorded and should be posted...well, maybe before but maybe not

In Show # 244 - The Seiun Award Lost All Credibility and Prestige in 1999, @DarylSurat reviews the mecha comedy-drama Martian Successor Nadesico. Also...the movie. But also the Gekiganger 3 OVA! Plus, @Gerald_AWO gives his convention report of Otakon 2025: awopodcast.com/2025/08/anime-…

Thanks to everyone who showed up to our watch-along of Discotek's announcements as well as the virtual panel presentation of 30 Years Ago: Anime in 1995. 25-30 people; not bad! Next time, once Discord's servers aren't on the fritz, we'll have accessibility subs for when we speak.

This is starting in 60 minutes, which means we should really look into making sure this whole screen sharing thing functions properly. Plus, in the event everyone can join and doesn’t have stuff to do on a Saturday Daryl should be able to do a virtual panel of Anime in 1995

Join us tomorrow at 3:00 PM for a watch-along of the Discotek license announcements! Maybe Daryl will also do a virtual panel version of 30 Years Ago: Anime in 1995 for those who weren't able to see it at Anime Boston like he said he'd do but didn't set up discord.com/events/1837778…

We didn't quite get the latest episode posted in time for last month due to illnesses and such, plus Otakon is next week. But thanks to listeners doing the actual hard work we've set up an index for the previously asked listener questions over the decades: awopodcast.com/previously-ask…

Once again we are betrayed by this new version of Audacity, which exported the episode in joint stereo rather than mono. If you're hearing some audio in the left channel and some in the right (or there are long spots of dead air), redownload the episode. It should be correct now.

For Show # 243 – Anime Boston 2025 Report and Listener Emails, we report on our experience attending Anime Boston 2025 as guest panelists! Plus, we catch up on some recent emails sent to us since we haven't done that in forever. No review this time around: awopodcast.com/2025/06/anime-…
