Vintage Anime Club Podcast

A group of friends, a disc of anime, a bottle of wine...better make it two. We're an anime podcast taking a look back at some older anime titles on physical media, and seeing if they still hold up or not. Sometimes time lets us appreciate overlooked titles, while other instances require us to remove those rose-tinted glasses. So grab a glass of wine and have a listen.

A group of friends, a disc of anime, a bottle of wine... Better make it two bottles.

Aug 13, 2020

On this episode we have Diana, Ed, Karen, Kate, Dennis, and the return of Sam to discuss the first Urusei Yatsura movie Only You, released in 1983. Based on Rumiko Takahashi's first serialized manga, and the feature length directorial debut for Mamoru Oshii, we see glimpses of story, design, and direction in their more globally known works that we're more familiar with. We can't help but bring up some Ranma comparisons, why Ataru is surrounded by all the ladies, weird alien customs, one of anime's earliest himbos, Wedding Crashers, and puns for days. CW: We also discuss briefly about the scandal with the writer for Shonen Jump's Act-Age manga in our news section.

Urusei Yatsura: Only You is out of print on DVD and not available on Blu-ray yet, but Discotek does have plans to re-release it soon.

Special thanks to Alec of Anime Los Angeles for lending us his DVD copy of the Animeigo release.

And as stated in news and the sign off, here is the WCS Kickstarter page. Suport this wonderful cosplay event if you have the means: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wcs/1043810599/?ref=kicktraq

And because we talked about it, support the show by purchasing some of these citranella candles on Amazon, and avoid bug bites while you're being socially distant outside in your yard/driveway/outdoor area: https://amzn.to/31MtqYf
