Show #062 Direct Download:

OP: Dr. Zeus song from the Simpsons
ED: Incidental Music from Oguie’s fantasies in Genshiken 2

Notes to be completed later.

Show #059 Direct Download:

OP and ED: “20th Century Boy”” by T. Rex in reference to 20th Century Boys by Naoki Urasawa

An interview with Carl, the Ogiue Maniax blogger at New York Comic Con 2008.

More notes coming soon. We recorded more audio than this but the echo effect on the mixer was turned on and it sounds terrible. I also accidentally deleted a lot of what Noah and the Angry Otaku recorded. It doesn’t matter, since one of the mics was off.

OP: “Born” by Miwako Okuda, the opening theme from Le Chevalier D’Eon
ED: “Over Night” by Aya, the end theme from Le Chevalier D’Eon

Noah and I announce our plans for New York Anime Festival which is next weekend: December 7th, 8th, and 9th.

Recorded live at Anime Weekend Atlanta 2007, (Erin’s con report here), this was originally scheduled as Anime World Order’s podcasting panel, but we filled in along with Paul “Fear the Gooberzilla” Chapman from The Greatest Movie Ever Podcast. We mostly gossip about AWO, and briefly review Le Chevalier D’Eon. Noah makes fun of the state of academic writing. I hope he’s prepared to defend himself in academic papers.

Our T-shirts are still for sale, by the way! Email ninjaconsultant @ gmail . com – $12 for U.S. orders, $14 international, and if you’re attending NYAF, they’re just $10. Buttons of the same design are just 25 cents each, plus 41 cents postage.

Music: Obsession by Animotion, and Everybody Have Fun Tonight by Wang Chung. There’s a reason for the Wang Chung, but not for Obsession. I just had my ’80’s Greatest Hits CD out and remembered liking the instrumental opening to Obsession.

Recorded Live at AnimeNext!!

A lot of dealers had just come from A-Kon, and many of the dealers, cosplayers, and attendees had also been at Anime Boston a few weeks before.

Promos, Bumper:

Eeper’s Choice Podcast the only Irish anime podcast.
Anime World Order
Weekly Anime Review (on hiatus at the moment)

• We use clips from Anime World Order episode 23: Decadence, Depravity, and Disasters
• OMGZBBQ Vic Mignoa’s giant ego was a repressive cloud over the entire convention. The man is a demon who eats the fangirl life-energy of underage girls like a bad Sailor Moon villain.
• Noah helped dye my hair.
• I was impressed by the Whistle cosplayers. The boys of the Mangacast assured me I should definately read it!
• Also note that I thought Whistle was just a manga, but it’s also an anime series.
• I cosplayed as Tamaki from Host Club. We need a Hunny for our Otakon group, but I might have already tricked got a friend to do it, so Soar is off the hook. He might be too tall anyway.
• Noah and I called AWO from the Otakugeneration live show in order to be on three podcasts at once. It kind of worked, but AWO hasn’t played the voicemail yet.
• I helped nickname someone on the Otakugeneration live show, but I came off sounding like an ass. My line of thinking was this: What would OG do? So I tried to nickname someone Porco Rosso. It didn’t really work out.

Music: 7 O’Clock News by Tokio, and Panic by Still Small Voice. These songs were the original opening and ending songs to the first 40-ish episodes of Kodocha, a show which we recommend to anyone age 11 and over. Funimation couldn’t get the rights to the Tokio song, and we really can’t imagine the opening without it, but it’s still totally worth watching the series. With your daughter!

The Chibi Project

How many people attended Anime Boston? Well, that page doesn’t say yet, but we heard it was up from 7,500 last year to 10,000 this year.

We talk a lot about Death Note cosplayers and fans. If you want an “L” t-shirt look for our table at Otakon.

Noah talks like an M.I.T. recruiter. Here’s MIT’s Anime Club’s homepage. Did you know that MIT has appeared in several anime series?

The Bishounen Support Corps Here’s their photo collection. You can email them at bishounen-support-corps AT mit DOT edu, and talk about them in this forum thread.

I talked to an Itachi from Bergen Community College’s Anime Club, who I ran into two weeks later at AnimeNext.

I thought the Happy House of Hentai’s new promo was really funny, so I stuck it in this show. Hopefully you won’t get their jokes if you’re under 16 or so.

Do you know who Cthulhu is?

Buddy Christ is from Dogma. But Kevin Smith’s only worthwhile film is Clerks. And the animated Clerks cartoon is worthwhile. Particularly episode five. It’s only ten bucks, so if I’m wrong it’s no big deal.

The episode of Otakugeneration where Bryce talks about the hentai dubbing panel. Well, it’s probably that episode.

Lupin the 3rd is a Ninja Consultant Approved Show.

theanimefanboy talks about playing Duck Duck Goose.

Alison’s L print that got licked.

Music: From the winning AMV of Anime Boston 2006, by the Italian AMV creator Marisa Panaccio used the song “Håll Om Mig” by the Swedish singer Nanne Grönvall set to the often-over-looked-except by Shojou fans series Princess Tutu.

This AMV makes Princess Tutu look like an even better show than it actually is (after 8 or 9 episodes it really picks up).

Marisa has made other noteable AMVs, this one played at AX last year and this one makes Witch Hunter Robin look more action-tastic than it actually is.

Did you miss Anime Boston? Never been to an anime convention? You can listen to some past panel recordings and policy thingies and such on the Anime Boston Podcast or you can listen to some of Anime Pulse’s panel recordings.

Ninja Consultant T-shirts, also $12. Click here:

For other methods of payments email me: Ninjaconsultat@gmail.com

We will ship internationally. Until I find out how much that cost…

We’ve only got 2 XXL “Filler Arc” shirts left. But for all the other sizes we’ve got plenty left.

Other crap we talked about:

• The Disneyficastion of Times Square
• “Last week’s” episode of Anime World Order
• Greencine Thread about Dads with Daughters who watch anime together is actually a list: List of Anime to Watch with pre-teen daughters titled “Anime for Daughters (and the Dads that love them)”
• Avatar from Nickalodeon. It’s out on DVD. You can rent it! And watch it with your daughter.
• Erin’s Note to Self: Don’t give L’s free pins. They’re cheap!
• Rose’s lesson: It’s not fun to be jostled by cosplayers if you’re hung over.
• Arada’s Own Podcast “Randomness”

froglartbge didn’t even go to this con, but hopefully he’ll write show notes soon.

Onnafest 2005 was held in the Gateway Hilton, in Newark, NJ from October 8-10th. It took me forever to getting around to editing this. Onnafest has a podcast which interviews some of the same guests I did with a better microphone set up – they even interview Yours Truly.
