OP & ED “Tough Boy” by TOM*CAT (from Fist of the North Star)

We finally caught up with Felipe Smith at MangaNext 2012. Felipe did the MBQ series after placing in Tokyopop’s Rising Stars of Manga. Then he moved to Japan and wrote and drew a series called Peepo Choo for Morning 2 Magazine, which has been imported to the U.S. by Vertical books.

We had a long talk with Felipe about what it’s like to work in Japan, and whether or not Bakuman is true to life.

Where to get his books:

Peepo Choo

MBQ volume 1
MBQ volume 2
MBQ volume 3

Show #103 – Steve Harrison Rambling in a Mall (you can really hear the mall)

OP: Symphonic Suite Yamato
INT: Various Gundam eyecatches
ED: Giant Gorg OP

Here we interview Steve Harrison, one of the grand old men of [American] anime [fandom]. (Although, honestly, I don’t think he’s that old.) We were fooled into thinking this would be a good idea by Daryl Surat, who claimed Steve Harrison was his future self, but not himself from the future. Apparently in the future Daryl grows a beard and learns how to be polite and charming.

The sound quality is extremely poor, as I brought a USB to XLR adapter that decided to not work with my laptop, so we would up recording using the laptop speaker and my iphone, and then I mixed the two sources together, slowly and painfully over several months, as they kept going out of sync. You can really hear every chair scraping the floor in the mall, and the occasional piece of food court muzak.

I feel justified in recasting this podcast for a couple of reasons:

1. I was a guest. (Noah makes a brief appearance.)
2. And perhaps more importantly, I edited this show, but the A and B parts.

Daryl then re-edited it, and cut out my awesome Christmas remix of the AWO theme song. He also probably cut out more “ums”. In any case, this was ready to go on December 30th, 2011.
