This is a very special bonus episode that we put little to no effort into creating!
At Animazement 2018, Tobias and I attended the "100 Years of Anime" panel hosted by Producer Masuo Ueda, animator Kazushige Yusa, director Akitaro Daichi, and curator of the Tokyo Anime Center, Asaba-san (I couldn't make out his full name). They discuss the most influential anime on their life and work, how anime has changed over the years, their struggles and successes as creators, how anime works in the west, and then took some audience questions at the end.
It was incredibly fascinating and the whole panel was just hilarious.
Sorry for the audio quality being garbage, this was recorded on my phone afterall. So sorry about that!
Here's the video Ueda showed before the panel. It's amazing and beautiful and just WOWIE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4t-GV4XcJak

Another year, another AZ down. This was a good one, folks.
Tobias, Austin, Tori, Marisa, and Ryan chat about panels, guests, dealers, dinosaur volunteers, UMD disks, bootleggers, and all those wonderful things you find at cons these days.
This episode is a little bit dated as we recorded it about 2 weeks ago and I mention being excited for E3 which has now passed and BOY there were some choice announcments there, and they were all Kingdom Hearts III related ;)
Anyways, we hope you enjoy the episode! Please leave us a comment, like, or send us an email at thirdimpactanime@gmail.com
