Anime World Order Podcast

In this episode, Gerald has this terrible feeling of…of déjà vu. Nevertheless, we’re getting this episode out just on the edge of tomorrow.

It’s our 250th episode, except it’s actually closer to 332! No better time for Gerald to review 1983’s Prime Rose: A Time Slip of 10,000 Years by Osamu Tezuka, now officially released in English. Nudity! Eye gouging! Beheading! Slavery, and not even the B.S. “ethical” kind you see on a curiously elevated basis within contemporary … Continue reading "Anime World Order Show # 250 – Everything Happens So Much When Swords Are the Only Gun Known to Man"

It’s a brand new year, but not quite a brand new animal as Daryl reviews the somehow already half decade old TV series Odd Taxi.

Halloween is upon us, and while we don’t quite have any bona fide horror anime lined up, after everyone gives initial impressions of the Fall 2025 anime season Clarissa reviews the somewhat eerie and entirely too short anime adaptation of Pet Shop of Horrors.
