In this episode of the OSMcast! we decided to throw down with the latest adventures of Lina and the gang by talking about Slayers Revolution!
OSMnotes
Right now Slayers Revolution is kind of hard to get to at the moment. When the series started up a small while back, you could find fansubs of it. But with a quickness Funimation grabbed up the rights to both it and Slayers Evolution-R. Fansubs dried up really quick (because if anyone knows where to look for places to throw some cease and desist orders, it’s Funimation.).
Not that this is a bad thing! Especially since they’ve promised us streaming versions of Slayers officially subtitled soon. How soon, I have no clue.
I’m sure that we’ll talk about in a future World of OSM when it happens.
Speaking of streaming and Funimation, they also have Baccano! You can actually watch the first episode on their site, although it is dubbed. We talked about Baccano! in Show #10, although it is spoileriffic and me might have missed a fact there or two. If you would rather have a less spoiler-filled podcast, Daryl Surat of the AWO recently covered it. Or you could just buy it. Trust me, this was the best show of 2007 this side of Gurren Lagann. You will not be disappointed.
Just to remind everyone who might be going to MTAC, so are we! Infact we’ll be on the podcasting panel, where there will be special secret prizes. What will these be? I don’t know I’m not handling it! But I hear that there will be some. And I’ll be there to run my mouth off in person. I see no reason why this is a bad thing, really. Maybe we can try that whole taking photos thing again, the cosplay kids seemed to like that.
We mentioned that the nerdcore anime hip hop group The Band of Seven will be there to run MTAC’s dance off. I asked them for a link so that you all could check them out and what do they do? They sent us three. These guys have their stuff together way more than we do, with our measly one URL. To wit: They are planning to release their second album at MTAC, that is said to be produced while on a spaceship. If this is true, I want to know where one can find one of these things. I’m in the Rocket City and so far, no dice.
How do these guys do it? I know not, but if you do, let us know! Or how this podcast was, a question you’d like answered, or maybe you were trying to contact someone else but found is instead! So if you would like to contact us, fret not! There are many, many ways one can accomplish this. And by many, I mean three. Way Number One: Leave a comment in this very post! Way Number Two: Email us at osmcast@gmail.com! Way Number Three: Send us a voice mail at 206-202-0071! It is fact, that easy.
Don’t worry. I’m finding the E-R subs fine.
And you have to remember that Megumi Hayashibara has been working all this time as a side character on the evergoing Detective Conan and as the Japanese voice of Jesse from Pokemon. She’s not been TOTALLY off the radar, just no big new roles.
Those aren’t real animes.
I’ll agree that lately the Pokemon anime has basically been an marketing ploy for the games for a few seasons now, but Detective Conan is still a good anime, albeit even slower and more drawn out than even Inuyasha was.
Nonono you don’t understand. If I don’t watch it, it must not be awesome. Therefore it does not exist.
I just so happen to have just gotten the first movie and first season on DVD. I can bring them in to HAAS and fix that.
Or I can wait a couple weeks… Tournament this Saturday so we’ll barely have time for the good animes and the weeks after that I’m probably going to miss voting…
Well after that’s my birthday, so I’ll at least try to bring it in, maybe just jumping to the Nintendo Parody Episode.
Best Buy SUCKS anyway.
…buying online… Don’t buy from Foxanime.com. I ordered something a MONTH ago and still haven’t gotten it. Bass-turds!
“douglass” is not the biggest Slayers fan in the world….
“Revolutions” pisses me off. It’s totally ignoring the first season!
Pokota is a pokemon. It seemed to be “and HERE is our TOY TIE-IN!” The whole thing with Zanafaar and them going “OMG! What do we DO?” like the Bless Blade doesn’t exist. And Sylphiel just RANDOMLY showing up and acting like she wasn’t BORN in Sairaag…
Zelgadis/Xelloss? … Xelloss is a Mazoku, he’s not really capable of affection.
As for Try… I liked Fillia!
They did a good job at breaking her.
But I do agree with the statement of Zelgadis running off crying. That BLEW MY MIND! WTF?! He also said that he was fine with being a Chimera… that was kinda … freaky.
Also agree with the statements on the ending themes being better.
Well said, finally a good report on this stuff
Great post, thanks for the info
