Vintage Anime Club Podcast

After a brief break, we're back on our isekai bandwagon with some digital monsters! That's right, we're covering the two Mamoru Hosoda Digimon Adventure movies, though they are more like short films than feature length movies. Join Dennis, Garrett, Ed, and Karen for Digimon Adventure Movie 1: Prologue & Digimon Adventure Movie 2: Our War Game. Talking points include the inevitable Summer Wars comparison, kaiju battles set to Bolero, the whistle system, silly kid arguments, breaking one of the unbreakable anime rules, and the power of a DDoS attack. 0:00:00 - Intro & The Watchlist 0:13:31 - Some Anime News 0:24:35 - Production Notes & Our Digimon History 0:38:18 - Bolero: The AMV (Digimon Adventure Movie 1) 0:49:07 - Our Summer Wars Game (Digimon Adventure Movie 2) 1:10:43 - Voices, Final Thoughts, & Kanpai You can support the show by donating to our Ko-Fi through the link below or purchasing Digimon The Movies 1-3 Collection on Blu-ray through our Amazon affiliate link: https://amzn.to/4v4zKqp Dennis: @ichnob | Ed: @ippennokuinashi | Garrett: @blkriku | Karen: @ryacosplay Linktr.ee | Ko-Fi | RSS

It's part 2 of our Goku Midnight Eye watch with hosts Dennis, Garrett, Ed, and Kate. With Goku getting used to his new eye powers, he's put to the ultimate test when Ryoko needs his help to find her brother.

It's the finale for Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, and once again Jessie returns to join hosts Ed, Garrett, Karen, Kate, and Dennis for the final four episodes. It's all Complex from here on out, and indeed it is with the story. So much action and philosophical dialogue, plus the return of the Tachikoma. Hope you enjoyed rewatching this with us, or if it's your first time watching through GitS:SAC, hope you also enjoyed it as well! 0:00:00 - Intro & A Lot of Anime News 0:19:51 - The Watchlist 0:40:35 - EP23: Equinox 0:52:51 - EP24: Annihilation 1:11:24 - EP25: Barrage 1:34:45 - EP26: Stand Alone Complex & Bonus Features 2:03:20 - Final Thoughts & Kanpai Special thanks to Jessie for joining us again!

On this episode, join Ed, Kate, Karen, Dennis, and Eron from Riot Games as we talk about episodes 14-17 of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone complex. This batch is all about greed, as a hit is put out on a billionaire, selling military secrets, and blackmailing the mafia. Fem uses coins for bullets (aka Cash the Stampede). We still get to bask in Olympic fever with Zaitsev, the silver medalist boxer from the Paralympics. And Aramaki's old flame has to booby trap a wine bank, Home Alone style. But the worst of it all? Something is up with the Tachikoma. 0:00:00 - Intro & Some Anime News 0:18:35 - The Watchlist 0:32:30 - Eron's GitS:SAC History 0:36:35 - EP14: ¥€$ 0:57:02 - EP15: Machines Desirantés 1:19:24 - EP16: Ag2-O 1:44:25 - EP17: Angel's Share 2:12:39 - Final Thoughts & Kanpai Special thanks to Eron (@eron_rauch) for joining us again!

We're officially halfway through Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex as this podcast covers episodes 10 through 13. Join hosts Dennis, Ed, Karen, Kate, and returning guest Jessie for more Section 9 crime solving plus some Tachikoma shenanigans. There's a killer with a calling card that brings up some bad memories from Batou's past, a kidnapped child reappearing 16 years later, the biggest gun fight in the show so far, a missing dog case, a jaded film director, some creepy kids, and more Laughing Man memory manipulation. So check if your cyber brain is set to autistic mode and stop giving natural oils to your robots, because it's time for more GitS:SAC discussion! 0:00:00 - Intro & Some Anime News 0:15:43 - The Watchlist 0:30:47 - EP10: Jungle Cruise 0:45:31 - EP11: Portraitz 1:03:10 - EP12: Escape From 1:23:53 - EP13: Not Equal 1:36:49 - Voices, Final Thoughts, Bonus Features, & Kanpai Special thanks to Jessie for joining us for the first time!

On this episode, join hosts Dennis, Ed, Karen, Kate, and first time special guest Jessie as we discuss the first four episodes of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. For listeners during the early years, this one has been a long time coming, so we are finally glad to start covering this one now. And even though this came out over 20 years ago, it still feels relevant to topics to today. So watch out for those cyber criminals, as we discuss robot kinks, film nerds, lots of Togusa, that one booty-shot of the Major, and getting to know a bit of Jessie's anime history! 0:00:00 - Intro & Getting to Know Jessie 0:12:54 - Some Anime News 0:26:16 - The Watchlist (New Season Start) 0:55:02 - GitS: SAC Production Notes 1:10:03 - EP01: Section 9 1:27:40 - EP02: Testation 1:42:07 - EP03: Android and I 2:04:35 - EP04: Intercepter 2:28:11 - Voices, Final Thoughts, & Kanpai Special thanks to Jessie for joining us again!

https://ko-fi.com/vintageanimeclub It's our final episode of 2025! Join hosts Dennis, Kate, Ed, Karen, & returning guest Bryan Newton for the finale of Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team. We might have spent too much time talking about the EZ8 vs Gouf Custom fight, and we definitely spent too much time talking bout those kids in episode 12. Hope you enjoy the listen, and also hope you enjoyed the watch! See you in 2026! Special thanks to Bryan for joining us again!

On this episode, join hosts Dennis, Diana, Ed, Karen, Kate, and returning guest Mike Lee as we discuss Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team, episodes 1-4. As we return to the Universal Century and the One Year War, of course we had to get some experts here with Diana and Mike. Other topics include folding chairs in space, Gundam character types, why Karen is great, Earth Federation ranks, some rough Zeon hair, Waymo for Gundams, and a lot more. Unfortunately, the beginning of this episode suffers for some mic issues, but it is eventually remedied before we get into the main discussion. So just bear with it for the first 30 minutes if you can, or skip to the production notes chapter. Special thanks to Mike Lee for joining us again for another Gundam episode! 0:00:00 - Intro & Some Anime News 0:12:44 - The Watchlist 0:38:54 - 08th MS Team Production Notes 0:59:48 - EP01: War for Two 1:24:31 - EP02: Gundams in the Jungle 1:43:36 - EP03: The Time Limit on Trust 2:04:06 - EP04: The Demon Overhead 2:37:49 - Voices, Final Thoughts, & Kanpai Unfortunately, Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team is currently out of print at the time of this podcast, but you can still support us by donating through our Ko-Fi link below!

Join hosts Dennis, Kate, Ed, and Karen for the first of our Kawajiri double feature for October, with Demon City Shinjuku. As a ten-year deadline to open a demon portal draws near, it's up to a young man with psychic powers and kendo skills named Kyoya and the president's daughter Sayaka to save the world. But they'll need more help from a few folks they meet along the way. If Shinjuku is already taken over by demons, why are humans still living there? We also talk about the dub accents for this one, talk no jutsu working, a bunch of Star Wars references, and how to survive horror movies. 0:00:00 - Intro & Some Anime News 0:14:06 - The Watchlist 0:31:59 - Demon City Shinjuku Production Notes 0:39:17 - Shinjuku in Ruins 1:17:58 - Kyoya & Sayaka's Trials 1:42:36 - The Final Battle 1:56:12 - Voices, Final Thoughts, & Kanpai Support the show by donating to our Ko-Fi link below or by purchasing Demon City Shinjuku on Blu-ray through our Amazon affiliate link: https://amzn.to/42H8H8E Dennis: @ichnob | Ed: @ippennokuinashi | Karen: @ryacosplay | Kate: @taikochan Linktr.ee | Ko-Fi | RSS

It's a stacked podcast panel for the first of six podcast episodes for His & Her Circumstances (aka Kare Kano). Join hosts Dennis, Ed, Kate, Karen, Caitlin, and returning guests Sanjay, and Rishon. High school drama & romance, faking it til you're making it, deep seeded traumas, and the pressures of being young--these are just some of the many topics we cover, including a not so brief production history talk, music stingers, being your true self, and one of the quickest enemies to lovers episode count (even though it was mostly one sided). So make sure you're listening to this podcast in a well-lit room!
