Hosts: Drew Sutton, Marc Smazik, Jason Brown and Richard Hoelsher.

Notes:

We introduce Richard and briefly discuss his adventure through anime fandom and his years staffing Anime Weekend Atlanta. We then get to the meat of the program as we review the oft-overlooked Miyazaki Hayao classic, 1979’s Castle of Cagliostro, a Lupin III film and the easiest entry into the space opera metaseries Space Pirate Captain Harlock by taking a look at 1982’s  My Youth In Arcadia. We also sit down to discuss the dying fate of anime clubs which were at one time about the only way people could get their anime.

Here is the re-release of episode 1 of the Akihabara Renditions podcast!

Hosts: Drew Sutton, Marc Smazik and Jason Brown.

Notes:

Jason, Marc and myself introduce ourselves and what the Akihabara Renditions podcast is about and pony up with our fandom CVs to give some air of legitimacy as to why we should be doing a podcast, aside from “we just downloaded Audacity and decided we could do one, too!” We also lay out our first two reviews, 1992’s Otaku no Video and 1989’s Riding Bean. In between, we have our first roundtable discussion about modern fansubbing and how it’s changed over time.
