Anime Pacific Remastered: Episode 13

This episode was a lot of politically incorrect fun.
A lot of it relies on images that are, sadly, no longer in existence.
We discuss the Danish Royal family's visit to Japan and how all the pictures looked like everyone was groping each other. I truly wish I could find those pictures.
We also discuss a meme that floated around for around five minutes about cosplays overseas VS cosplayers in Japan.
We go through several e-mails and top it off with Shigeru Mizuki, the Anime Person of the Week!

For the next eight years, Anime Pacific enjoyed a dedicated following; I like to call it the first "mid-tier" Anime podcast.

We then read e-mails in which listeners reiterate how they enjoy the Asian stuff as opposed to the "strictly anime" stuff. Alex reviews Gasaraki and CLAMP are the Anime (people) of the week.

Anime Pacific Remastered: Episode 8

I had forgotten how news-heavy the early episodes were. Rest assured, the news segement eventually disappears. We discuss the success of the live action film version of Dororo, which, we reported was going to be made into a trilogy. And that, dear listener, (sigh) let's say it together: Totally happened . We review the CG version of Appleseed. This signalled what I affectionally call the beginning of, "the shittening" of Shinji Aramaki. Go Nagai is the Anime person of the week. Alex also discussed Zero Woman: Red Handcuffs. Download episode 8, here .
