#39 - ACROSS the Universe with Excel Saga! A Quack Experimental Podcast
Wednesday Mar 28, 2018
Wednesday Mar 28, 2018
Way back in the year 1999, a young girl named Excel Excel and the secret organization of ACROSS arrived and destroyed the world of anime as we knew it. 19 years later, yep it's still dead. Listen to Sully, Tobias, Austin, and Bill discuss the quack experimental anime, Excel Saga from J.C. Staff and director Shinichi Watanabe (no not the Cowboy Bebop guy).

#38 - Lupin III: The Mystery of Mamo a.k.a. Lupin vs. Paul Williams
Sunday Mar 18, 2018
Sunday Mar 18, 2018
Bill hosts a fantastic episode diving into the very first Lupin the Third theatrical film, The Mystery of Mamo from 1978.
Joined by Sully and Austin, we discuss the Lupin franchise, the film's tonal shifts, characterization, the different english dubs, hilariously renamed characters, Lupin physics, and the fact that Mamo looks like Paul Williams in Phantom of the Paradise. Just saying... Look it up.
Minor correction. Zenigata is voiced by Philip Wilburn, not Mike McFarland, in the Funimation Lupin specials.

#37 - One Piece of Cake - An Easy Guide to Getting Into One Piece
Friday Mar 09, 2018
Friday Mar 09, 2018
One Piece, the massive pirate adventure anime/manga that you've all heard of. It needs no introduction, but some of us need an introduction into why exactly it is such a phenomenon and how it's a lot easier to get into than you think. Bill breaks down why One Piece works, what's really special about it, and tries to convince Tobias and Austin to give it a shot.

#31 - Con-versations! - Ichibancon 2018
Saturday Jan 27, 2018
Saturday Jan 27, 2018
Third Impact did a good. We went to a con.
Unfortunately, the podcast recording did a bad.
We didn't lose much other than Tobias' intro (but you guys know him already) and Austin's breakdown of the convention which you can find here, now!
Ichibancon is an anime convention in Concord, North Carolina. 2018 is it's 9th year running and it's the second largest anime convention in the state right under Raleigh's Animazement. It features the usual convention content like cosplay, panels, and dealers but also had a fantastic game room and some stand-out guests. The major guests this year were Dante Basco (Hook, Avatar: The Last Airbender), Cassandra Lee Morris (K-On!, Sword Art Online, Madoka Magica), and Vic Mignogna (Fullmetal Alchemist, Star Trek Continues).
[We also lost a little bit in the middle so if it rapidly cuts, that's why. Our bad]
BUT! More important than all that is what we did, which is what we spend this episode breaking down.
We discuss:
Dealers, artists, panels, cool cosplays, some lunatic pulling the fire alarm, Godzilla and her inflatable children, butt touching among friends, bootleg video game dealers, other cool panelists, Daicon IV, Ryan wanting to fight Charles Dunbar, Porgs, Pop Team Epic, Edwin, impromptu panels, Jon actually buying something, Chinese food, Bill phoning in kinda, Devilman, and twitter questions!
