Note: This episode was recorded before Halloween and intended to be released before we went to Anime Weekend Atlanta but hey, we had a convention to prep for so please pardon the outdated info in the beginning.
To stave off the inevitable arrive of Thank-Christmas-giving, we're here to extend the Halloween season just a bit with our post-Halloween special on legends and yokai in the TV series Yamishibai. For those unaware, or if you didn't listen to last year's Halloween special, Yamishibai is an anime anthology series consisting of a bunch of spooky short stories. This year, we picked 2 episodes each to explore the urban legends, yokai, or cultural elements they were based on. Please enjoy!

Following up on our previous Summer Anime Impressions episodes, we're back with "Team Midpoint".
These shows will be running for more than one cour, so we're taking a break halfway to discuss our thoughts so far. Do they still burn as brightly as they did 13 weeks ago? Will they make history in the saga of anime canon?
Here's the ensemble we're bringing you today:
- Fire Force (Bill)
- Vinland Saga (Ryan)
- Ensemble Stars (Tobias)
Also discussed: Link's Awakening, My Hero Academia, Dragon Quest XI, Untitled Goose Game, and more!

In this episode, Sully, Tobias, Austin, and Bill discuss Isao Takahata's directorial debut feature film, Horus, Prince of the Sun. We discuss the film's background, legacy, possible inspirations on The Legend of Zelda, and what we thought of watching it through our 2019, post-Ghibli eyes. In a lot of ways, it feels like an anime from the 60s, but in a lot of ways... it doesn't!
Buy Horus, Prince of the Sun on bluray from Discotek!

In this episode, Sully, Tobias, and Bill discuss Eiichi Yamamoto’s surreal, psychedelic classic Belladonna of Sadness, the story of a young French peasant woman who after a traumatizing event, uses the power of witchcraft to forge her place in her country’s national consciousness. The gang dig into the film’s deeper cultural, psychological, and artistic meanings, as well as debate in the canon of anime films and its complex relationship with trauma, sexuality, and agency

A couple weeks ago, we were given the great pleasure of attending Hamacon in Huntsville, Alabama for the second year in a row as their Featured Panelists. This year's Hamacon was the last EVER and while we are sad to see it go, we are truly grateful for the great times and awesome friends we've made through it!
In this con-versation episode, Tori, Tobias, Austin, and Edwin are joined by fellow podcast host, current co-director of Momocon, and former Director of Awesome at Hamacon, Basil Berchekas (@itsbasiltime on Twitter). Also, before we chat about Hamacon, Sully stops by to tell us about his experience traveling out to San Diego for Comic Con.
We also chat about the KyoAni arson attack, the history of Hamacon, our panels, and share con stories new and old.
