While attending Fanime 2009 in late May, I recorded most of the panels I went to with the exceptions being Meet the Anime Vice Squad (forgot) and Nerd Courting (because it was 3 hours!). You may hear some rustling noises caused by when I was shifting around or, in the case of Carl Horn’s panels, flipping through the samples he gave the audience pass around.

Music during lead-ins: “Blue Little” by 10:32 (album: Ghostly Swim – link)

The Toy Fusion table at SacAnime

As I mentioned in a SacAnime post in January, I recorded a few interviews and a couple panels using a recently purchased portable recorder. I finally got my act together and combined them into one long podcast episode. Don’t worry, time markers are in the show notes below.

UPDATE 3/7 6AM PST: The first upload of this episode included panels being cut off near the end due to screw-ups when I converted the original WMA recordings into an editable format. A fixed, more full-featured version has since been uploaded.

Show Notes
(0:00 – 0:45) “Koi no Jumon wa Papa-PiPu-Pa”, sung by Yuko Ogura (School Rumble ED B-side)

(0:45 – 3:32) Introduction, where I forget to say my own name.

(3:41 – 6:43) Toy Fusion interview in dealer’s hall

(6:51 – 11:53) Rebecca Hicks interview in dealer’s hall (Little Vampires; Lunasea Studios)

(12:01 – 1:07:59) Tom Kane panel (IMDB); my favorite part was about Invasion Iowa. The occasional noise at the beginning is me trying to look through the program guide and moving the recorder around.

(1:08:07 – 2:01:08) Full Metal Alchemist panel with Vic Migogna, Travis Willingham, and Laura Bailey. I inserted Vic’s introduction from this panel during this episode’s introduction because I couldn’t be bothered to pronounce his name correctly.

(2:01:08 – 2:02:14) Sendoff

(2:02:11 – 2:03:12) “Water Forest”, composed by Yoko Kanno (Darker Than Black BGM)

Transitions:
clipped from “Jumbo Camera ni Donto Koi!” (Welcome to the NHK OST)

I talked yesterday afternoon with wildarmsheero of Mistakes of Youth about his webcomic, Gundam, that ANN-Kite Liberator thing (link), lolicon, and other subjects. By the way, I should have said “swing” instead of “jazz” or “bebop” in describing Oh! Edo Rocket’s soundtrack.

WARNING: there are some instances of cursing in this episode from myself and my guest.

Music:
“Naked Story”, performed by Garnet Crow (Secret of Cerulean Sand opening)
“Umi Yori Mo Fukaku”, sung by Etsuko Sai (G Gundam 1st ending)

I’m sorry if you can hear faint static – when I tried to use noise removal, the speech sounded like we were underwater so I ended up not tweaking it that way. Also, I’m also experimenting with podPress because I want to get download estimates; the former streaming interface will show up if you click “Play Now” below. Enjoy!

Ending: “Tabibito”, sung by Ikeda Ayako (B-side from Dennou Coil single)

The first episode of the Nigorimasen! Blogcast was recorded last night with IcyStorm of Minimum Tempo fame as my guest. There was actually some more interesting stuff after the main recording, like magazine subscriptions and rhythm games, so I also crafted a ‘mega’ version that is twenty minutes longer. P.S. I apologize in advance for laughing into my headset mic.

Show notes:
- we began talking about AX a bit (it’s dakimakura, not daimakura – my bad)
- I try to explain Mave-chan (which transitions into discussing the Lucky Star dub & pack-in extras)
- we changed topics to digital anime sales (iTunes, PSN, et al.)
- PLUG: MT is looking for writers! (I also promise to submit some articles.)
- my impressions of playing Naruto: ROAN
- I ask to have Aria explained to me
- I later try to pitch Kiba to Icy
- Mega Version: yet another slipup by me – Donkey Konga and Taito no Tatsujin don’t have lyrics but rather kuchi shoga.

Music:
Opening: “Punctured”, performed by Electric Eel Shock
Ending (standard): “You are the only one”, sung by Kotono Mitsuishi [lyrics]
Ending (mega): “Boin VS Boin” from Gurren Lagann BEST SOUND

I want to use Skype more so I plan to involve other people through interviews or dual-hosting – anything to make it more interesting than going solo and rambling for almost an hour and being distracted by sports on the TV. I will likely do this first one solo but if anyone wants to help me get more acclimated to using Skype, my handle is on the contact page and if you are available tomorrow night or would like to be on the air, let me know.

I’ll also try to answer any questions and topic suggestions on the show that are submitted through comments on the previous episode’s post or emails to blogcast [at] crumplednapkin [dawt] net podcast AT nigorimasen DAWT com.

The least of what I plan to cover when I record tomorrow afternoon/evening PDT are:
- my experiences at AX 2008 (won’t try to dwell on this too long)
- short reviews of the stuff I picked up there (manga and others)
- my first couple weeks owning a 360
- recent happenings in legal downloadable anime
