OSMcast! The 2013 OSMawards Part I: Video Games, TV Shows, Movies 1-6-2014

The 2013 OSMawards for most Awesome Video Games, TV Shows That Are Not Anime, and Movies, That Are Also Not Anime
The 2013 OSMawards for most Awesome Video Games, TV Shows That Are Not Anime, and Movies, That Are Also Not Anime

Lo and Behold we have returned. It is now the year of 2014. But 2013 had a lot of cool stuff in it, so we have brought back the OSMawards!

In the first part of our two episode saga of days past, we tackle the staple that is Video Gaming. From 3DS, to PS3, to 3DS, to 360, to Wii U, to 3DS, to PS4, to 3DS, we cover all the game that tickled our 2013 fancies. We then venture into the realm of not-so Japanese TV Shows, then wrap up with Movies.

We also talk about Space Dandy, fancy watches that tell you things, magical boards of water and ink, and more!

So much more, including possibly the end of Doug’s never working freezer?! STAY TUNED.

OSMsupplemental! Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies DLC: Turnabout Reclaimed 12-30-2013

OK no I get it this just an OH LOOK THE OSMCAST JUST JUMPED THE SHARK joke just waiting to happen but I DON’T CARE so THERE.

It’s only a couple of days, perhaps even less of 2013, so we decided to send of the year with an extra supplemental episode of the OSMcast, covering the extra DLC case for Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies, the case Turnabout Reclaimed. Our uh, I guess glorious leader Basil is joined once again by Alain aka Hisui from The Reverse Thieves blog as well as The Speakeasy podcast as well as Ruby aka Passion Tentacle from The Oriental Cartoon Show podcast.

So come listen on as we talk about killer whales lawyers, and most importantly, penguins.

Because penguins are the best.

It’s beginning to to look a lot like awesome. Everywhere you go~

It’s the most wonderful time of the year and so we decided to podcast about a most wonderful movie. Since it is the season of holidays, we brought out one of our favorites: Satoshi Kon’s and studio Madhouse’s film, Tokyo Godfathers. You know that lovable scamp of a movie all about three homeless people and a baby? Yeah, that movie. It’s great!

So grab some eggnog, curl up against the fire, and listen to an audio podcast all about a movie you should totally go and watch immediately.

OSMcast! Pokemon X (and also Y) 12-9-2013

If only France was actually this cool!

Podcasting to be the very best, like no one ever was, the latest OSMcast! is all Nintendo’s and Game Freak’s latest duo of RPGs, Pokemon X. Oh, and also Y. For you see, as it turns out, Basil, Doug, and Kevin all ended up getting Pokemon X. So we brought in our buddy Barry to represent the Y.

But not the Ys. That would be different game entirely. Still a pretty awesome one, though.

HOWEVER, this episode is all about the awesomeness that is Pokemon X (and also Y). And whatever else we talked about!

OSMnotes

You can buy Pokemon X and Y pretty much anywhere video games are sold! 3DSes, too. You can also listen to only the most premium Pokemon raps via Shofu on YouTube.

OSMcast! Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies 11-25-2013

Object- Oh you know what they are doing already!

Tonight, on the OSMcast we plumb the depths and crack open the case of one Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies. A lawyer-esque video game for your 3DS Nintendo Portable Entertainment System.

And by we, I mean Basil aka uh… Basil aka Ed Chavez fan #1 from said OSMcast as well as one Alain aka Hisui aka Saber fan #1 from the The Reverse Thieves blog as well as The Speakeasy podcast.

But you should listen on as we share the dual destinies as guys who likes video games about being lawyers that can tackle even the greatest of yokai crazes!

OSMnotes

Later folks, later. Right now I (Basil) am about to be drug into some Dr. Who THING and who knows how this will turn out! I assume lots of flashy lights on sticks that people will SWEAR to me that they are screwdrivers. Even though they don’t have neither orange juice OR vodka so what use are they?!

Bonus! Geek Media Expo Volume 5 Recap with Chainsaw Buffet

So with Hamacon’s Minicon going on this past Saturday (Which went very well thank you for asking!), we did not have a chance to record an OSMcast proper. However, we didn’t want to leave you hanging and as it just so happens… Basil was on the latest episode of the Chainsaw Buffet talking about GMX, Tennessee’s Geek Media Expo.

Listen in on talks of Peggle! Awesome shojo-esque Kickstarters! How Basil reads books! AND SO MUCH MORE!

OSMcast! When Planning is Few, Impromptu Will Do 10-28-2013

Yeah, I got nuthin. But chainsaws.

Why hello there! Would you like a podcast? Because we have one! The story of this podcast is thus: Basil was super busy and did not have to plan or assemble a normal OSMcast, and so enlisted the mightiest warriors from throughout the land.

And ended up with John and Dylan from the Chainsaw Buffet. And as we had more Buffet than OSM this time, the podcast runs the gambit of wild and crazy things such as TV shows, anime, tabletop gaming, and more. It’s a cornucopia of a scattershot of topics that will be sure to please one and all.

Or at least Hisui.

LOOK YOU ARE LUCKY TO GET A PODCAST, ALRIGHT?! We’ll try to get some time cues in here, but no promises.

OSMcast! Anime Weekend Atlanta 2013 10-14-2013

AWA 2013

So here we are. A podcast about Anime Weekend Atlanta 2013. A podcast about Anime Weekend Atlanta 2013 with Basil and Kevin as well as Charlie and Dylan from the Chainsaw Buffet. A podcast about Anime Weekend Atlanta 2013 with Basil and Kevin as well as Charlie and Dylan from the Chainsaw Buffet where they talk about many things, from the sudden convention’s growth to food trucks, to what they did, panels that we were, lines that were long, fun that was had, some food trucks again, and just how big of a Carl Horn fanboy really is Basil, anyway?

In other words, it was a podcast about Anime Weekend Atlanta 2013.

OSMnotes

This was recorded on Sunday, edited all night on Monday, and released before we went to sleep. Therefore, no matter when you see this, or what the website may or may not say: We are calling this episode Up On Time. Throwing it up on the board. Claiming victory over defeat.

OSMcast! Star Driver 09-30-2013

Truly, a dashing entrance.

“When what you want to do and ought to do are one and the same, you can hear the OSMcast! speaking to you,” as they say.

Well, they do when you when what you want- nay- OUGHT to do is listen to this latest podcast! This time we cover the show Star Driver, the anime created by the studio Bones, directed by Takuya Igarashi and written by Yoji Enokido.

You know, as they say. And by they, I mean we. As  in the OSMcast! We say that. We also say a whole lot more!

OSMcast! The Legend of Korra: Book One, Air 9-16-2013

Mmmm, cartoons! They are the best.

So, you may have heard about this Korra cartoon THING that just had its second season opener and you may wonder if you should go back and catch the first season. But hey, if you ARE wondering that, well we have the answer for you!

Short answer: Yes, of course you should. We even did an OSMcast all about it.

Long answer: You listen to our latest episode that tells you all about it. That’s right here. You can just click about or download it or maybe you have done one of those things. In that case you should have already begun watching the first season. If you haven’t, I guess just  listen to the podcast again.

TL;DR: This episode of the OSMcast is about The Legend of Korra: Book One, Air. It’s a pretty cool cartoon made by Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino and a sequel to Avatar: the Last Aibender. You can go listen to us yap on about how cool we think it is.

Yeah buddy! Those sure are some TIME CUES. Now how about some PANEL CUES?!

Panel Cues for Anime Weekend Atlanta, as told to Basil by way of AWA unless things change which they totally can!

  • Manga You Need to Buy Right Now! (9/27/13 3:30 PM-4:30 PM | CGC – 104): Manga, the world of Japanese comics. There used to be an absolute ton of these things on the market, but times are changing… and not for the better. However, there are still a great many series and one shots that are being published today. And we’re going to tell you all about them!
  • Petals and Penguins: The Work of Kunihiko Ikuhara (9/28/13 5:00 PM-6:00 PM | CGC – 106): The creator and director of Revolutionary Girl Utena, Kunihiko Ikuhara is a man who loves imagery. And metaphor. And messing with your mind. His works make you think, make you feel, and usually not in the ways you’re probably meant to when you started your day. But yet, we always keep coming back for more. From his start in the anime adaption of Sailor Moon, to Penguindrum and beyond, we look into the twisted body of work that has defined Kunihiko Ikuhara.
  • Getting Your Anime Groove Back (9/29/13 11:00 AM-12:00 PM | CGC – 104): Anime burn out happens all the time. Sometimes life gets in the way and people lose interest in keeping up with the latest shows and news. This panel looks at a few shows that may rekindle that anime fan deep inside that just wants to be free again.
  • The Weird Side of Go Nagai (9/29/13 2:30 PM-3:30 PM | CGC – 106): While Go Nagai is easily one of the most prolific and influential anime and manga creators of our time, not everyone knows his stranger side. Sure, some anime fans may know the popular stuff like Cutie Honey or Mazinger Z, but what about Aztechkaiser; a tokusatsu pro-wrestling live action show where the hero beats his enemies by turning into animation? Now that’s weird!

Boy that sure was a whole lot of cues!
