With the announcement of Fred Schodt’s appearance at Anime North in May, Mike wanted to start by trying something different and tell a sincere story about his first appearance more than twenty years before…but he forgot to plug in the soundboard. After plugging in the board, we pull the plug on the Vic Mignonga talk by getting Kevin and Moh’s thoughts (10:15). Then we come back to the talk about adapting Japanese works again in light of the Alita: Battle Angel movie, was it one of those things that came a few years late? Spoiler alerts there…like as if no one here knows the basic story (21:19). And that sometimes importing a North American story into Japan have similar dillemas (43:30). Mike reflects on finally finishing the Toradora anime, with James and Kevin broadening that into a longer discussion about the light novel market in North America (55:20). Then James finishes it off with an epic bullets segment on how the former couple of the great anime streaming divorce in the fall have moved on with their lives dating new people (1:31:10), and the Fate/Stay Night movie (2:01:15) Then one more tejime to seal the deal…well the idea sounded good… And don't forget to contact us if you have something to say Web: animeroundtable.com Email: [email protected] Twitter: @animeroundtable Mike Nicolas, James Austin, Kevin Ng, Mohamed Sharmarke Check the website for more details and links https://animeroundtable.wordpress.com/2019/03/16/6ixtalk-anime-roundtable-v2-0-8-march-16-2019/
