OSMcast! & The Carbuncle Chronicle

At last! Our final and most verbose episode of the 2020 OSMawards arrives at our final destination: Video Games! Sure, some of the things we talk about have been covered in previous OSMcasts. But that's what's gonna happen when some of best games of 2020 both come out in March and April! That said really it's who brings up what that is surprising in this ultimate showdown of video game releases in the Year of Our Lord 2020. Also, Overwatch? Apparently! OSMnotesAnd so you have it! The video games that helped us get through 2020. And who knows what games we will get to in 2021! If only there was a way to find out besides the podcast... Oh right! That Discord we keep mentioning! Yeah, that might be a good way to keep tabs on us. But until next time, have some Time Cues:We Start OSMcast!ing – 00:00General Gabbing – 00:34The OSMawards! 2020 Edipyon – Video GamesAnimal Crossing: New Horizons – 07:09Cyberpunk 2077 – 10:27Final Fantasy VII Remake – 18:14Roundguard – 25:18Overwatch – 31:49Outward – 38:58Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition – 45:28The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV – 52:04Genshin Impact – 58:55Ghost of Tsushima – 69:00The Waiting Game for Assassin's Creed Valhalla – 74:37The Jackbox Party Packs – 80:08

The OSMawards for 2020 continue! Movin' right along, in this episode we cover our faves in anime and TV from last year. Oh, and Gundam Wing. Look, it makes more sense when you get to it. So please get right to listening and enjoying! (And maybe, just maybe, join our Discord while you're at it!)OSMnotesSo while we've been getting this episode ready to publish, it turns out Babylon 5 is getting a somewhat of a remastering? Frankly, any extra work to bring Babylon 5 back in any way is great. But that's something that happened in the past, and something that is now in the year 2021! This post is supposed to be about 2020! ... Ignore that by and large 2020 is not a year that anyone wants to be well remembered. Except for the stuff that in the Time Cues, anyway!We Start OSMcast!ing – 00:00General Gabbing – 00:41The OSMawards! 2020 Edipyon – Anime & Television ShowsTower of God – 04:11Akudama Drive – 09:01RetroCrush – 11:33Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai – 16:15Carole & Tuesday – 20:40Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! – 24:09Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle – 26:05Adachi and Shimamura – 28:29Sitcoms & Gundams – 31:43Cobra Kai – 34:36Steven Universe Future – 37:36Joe Pera Talks With You - 41:48Next week, we'll wrap up the 2020 OSMawards with an episode all about Video Games. See you then!

As so many places and podcasts do, we are kicking off 2021 with a look back at some of the things enjoyed in last year of 2020. And in many ways, some of the things that got us through the last year of 2020. In this particular edipyon, we'll be tackling some of our most favorite things from the various reaches of the Internet. Podcasts, YouTube Shows, some things that are both! And some things that are neither!OSMnotesSo you may have heard in the episode, that we have a discord. And it's true! We do! You can find it here. Next week, we'll be talking about Anime and TV Shows! Until then, Time Cues: We Start OSMcasting – 00:00General Gabbing – 00:37The Extended OSMcast!

Not all OSMcasts, like many things, are created equal. Most OSMcasts end in am exclamation point (!). Some end in a question mark (?). Because sometimes we have to talk about things into a microphone, even if they are not awesome. And this time, it's about an anime based of a single chapter of a Ken Akamatsu joint: Itsudatte My Santa! Because it's the holidays and we already did an episode on Tokyo Godfathers. Oh, we also talked about some other things that are awesome. To try and balance things out, at least a little bit.OSMnotesSo yeah, that was sure an episode!

If you ever asked the question of, "Hey do you think someone can make an hour-long podcast out of a 45 second teaser trailer?" You are in luck! We here at the OSMcast! have answered your question. And the answer is "Definitely, as long as it's about Yuri!!! on Ice movie!" Thankfully the teaser trailer is for Ice Adolescence, and admittedly we also threw some Moments of OSM in there. Because if we are going to do an episode of the show, it's gonna be an actual episode! OSMnotesOK so in case you wondering, here's that teaser:https://youtu.be/8Mk4Uykq5I8Wow! It's that sure something? Can you believe we spent what, forty minutes plus on this? In our defense... Victor is pretty dang pretty, though. Also, Marriage For All Japan is a pretty great idea, and one we really hope happens. Also, we got in an episode for November! Whoo! Hopefully we can get some more episodes in before the new year!

In our last episode we talked about how great it was to go off into a new world, like an uninhabited island of people yet filled with cute animal pals. In this episode, we instead talking about using the powers of our imagination to transport us into other worlds. With the power of animation. Specifically, Japanese animation. Really getting to the brass tacks we are talking about Masaaki Yuasa's and Science Saru's adaptation of Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!, based of the manga by Sumito Ōwara. OSMnotesGo! Vote! IWillVote.com and Vote.org are both great websites for know where your polling place is, finding out if you are registered or can do early voting, and other important voting related matters. Also yeah, Dark Horse Comics is publishing the Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! manga. They even did in fact tweet about it!... Back in March. But the manga starts coming out next month! But what's coming up now? The fact that the soundtrack composer Oorutaichi has a bandcamp and it kicks ass in a wonderful folksy way? Yes! And Time Cues.

In March of 2020, something terrible happened. That is pretty well covered. We don't really have to get into that. But something truly special and wonderful also happened. Nintendo released the latest Animal Crossing game, subtitled New Horizons for the Nintendo Switch. Granted, this is also pretty well covered. But since it something totally awesome and rad, it is actually is covered under our purview. Therefore, please enjoy this podcast about Animal Crossing: New Horizons! Preferably on a remote island, away from all other humanity. Maybe with some cute animals as your only friends? Man, wouldn't that be the life!OSMnotesSince we recorded the episode, the October stuff has begun! You can get all sorts of spooky things, grow some pumpkins, pretty good stuff.

Hello Adventurers! With a new set of wards being added to all the Residential Districts at the launch of Patch 5.3 on October 13th, now was a great time to talk about Housing! What is Housing? What do you mean by wards and Residential Districts? We go into it, tell you all your options. Because there are more than just houses when you really look at it. We also go into how we happened into our housing options, and what we like about housing in Final Fantasy XIV... And what we don't! Plus, some of our favorite items we have used to decorate our place. To cap it off, we go into some Tips & Tricks to try and help you land that plot once the new patch hits. Good luck Warriors of Land Ownership, er, Darkness!Carbonuses!Here are some screen caps of some of our places! We are on the Leviathan server, in the Primal data center!

Sometimes, an anime is about a sport. Sometimes, it's about other things entirely. Sometimes, it's about other things entirely but also absolutely needs the sport in question to get to the things the anime wants to talk about. This time, that sport is Soft Tennis and this anime is called Stars Align. And it is about Soft Tennis, but not entirely. It is also a show written and directed by Kazuki Akane along with the studio Eight Bit. It is also pretty great! But you may have figured that out when we released a podcast all about it. OSMnotes!Anime News Network also had an excellent pair of interviews with the writer and director of Stars Align Kazuki Akane, that we talked about during the podcast. You can find Part One here, and Part Two here. To mix up some sports metaphors, Kim Morrissy absolutely knocked these interviews out of the park! They really showed some wonderful insights into this show. And while we may be podcasting about a show full of kids, we are definitely some old men! You can tell this by our Moments of OSMs, that are all inadvertently synced up about us yearning for our childhoods. Huh.

It's been a one hell of a weekend over at Camp Oostanaula! Salt lines have been broken, things have been unleashed. Our poor generic nondescript scouts are being hounded by a Terror, but for some reason no one seems to believe them! Out of escape routes, out of options. Except one: It's time to take it to the Terror itself. Come join us as we kick some tires and light some fires as we play this final installment of Be Prepared, by Grant Howitt.

Hey... hey Baxter! You know what would be funny? Going through this creepy old farm house from who knows when! Only... our scouts did that. Lines were crossed. And redrawn. And then probably crossed again. Look, it was 1994, you know? They didn't know any better. And if they don't play their cards right, they never will. Things take a few turns for our brave and noble scouts as we once again play some of Be Prepared, by Grant Howitt.

Hello Adventurers! The time has finally come, the long wait is over, Patch 5.3 has arrived! And with it, we have received an absolute embarrassment of riches. So for this issue of the Carbuncle Chronicle, we dive right on in! We start with some updates about the upcoming Ishgardian Restoration, as well as new housing plots are being added!? Then we get into some of those juicy yet not very spoilery impressions of Patch 5.3. How we felt the story wrapped up, convincing Dylan that it's okay to do the Nier raids, flying in ARR, how awesome dwarves are, all sorts of things. We also talk about The Rising 2020 event happening right now, until September 17th. And we wrap up with remembering and chatting about some good, good yo-kai grinding. And if you are in need of some help figiring out what to do and where to go for the Yo-kai Watch event, this is a really helpful visual guide made by KaiyokoStar:FFXIV x Yo-kai Watch Event Infographic v2.0 #FFXIV #FF14 pic.twitter.com/gWBm5ORelq— ☆Miss Kaiyoko Star☆ (@KaiyokoStar) August 21, 2020

When we last left our adventuring trademark non-descript scouts at Camp Oostanaula, they were goofing off in a cave, and found a door that they shouldn't have. Where will they go, and what terrors will they unlock, and how will they deal with them? Come back in time with us as well play Be Prepared, by Grant Howitt. One thing is for sure, you will never predict the twists and turns that happen in this episode of the OSMquest!

It's 2020, but camping is still a thing... Right? Maybe? Well if you can pretend with us back to the year 1994, you very much can! In this first part of a new OSMquest series, we are playing Be Prepared, by Grant Howitt. The idea is that some scouts have taken a camping trip back in 1994. Hijinks ensue! But unknown to the campers, there is something else afoot. Something... contained. And as idiot teenagers so often do dumb things as they do, that something may not stat contained for long.

Hello Adventurers! Hope you are all bunkered down and looking forward to the very fast upcoming Final Fantasy XIV Patch 5.3, because we sure are! To help get some of that excitement out of our systems*, we recorded an episode of the Carbuncle Chronicle about the latest Live Letter that happened two weeks previous. From ponderings on what secrets the trailer holds, to the inevitability of once again grinding for more Yo-kai Watch weapons, and the grind for powering up those Resistance Weapons in the Bozjan southern front, we cover it all! Or at least try to, anyway. And if you want to go through the information in a more text-able format, they have also just recently released the text digest version. But really, if you need extra links to click on we recommend that sweet new album they announced, Pulse: FINAL FANTASY XIV Remix Album. It's hitting September 30th, so even next week we're stuff waiting for more FFXIV goodness. It's an embarrassment of riches to be sure.It did not work. We are still very excited.

When in doubt, sleep in and have androids do the work. Especially if humanity is is threated by extinction via machines sent for our doom by space aliens. At least that seems to be the case for our latest episode! We are talking about Yoko Taro's NieR: Automata, developed by PlatinumGames and published by Square Enix. We also talk about some other classic OSMcast topics like TV shows from Norway, manga, and Pokémon! And at the end, feelings. OSMnotesHope everyone enjoyed the episode! We also just want to take a moment and point out that A.) Our wonderful editor Anna is very good and she deserves all the praise one can give. B.) Basil really should make a list of things to say at the end so he never forgets that. C.) That the actual sequel to NieR: Automata is happening in Final Fantasy XIV and somehow we for got to mention that in this episode! Thankfully, we have a whole FFXIV podcast now we can mention that for next time...But until then, have some Time Cues!We start the OSMcasting – 0:00General Gabbing – 0:34Patreon Shout-outs – 01:03Moments of OSM – 02:58Norsemen – 03:10Deca-Dence – 06:25Magu-chan: God of Destruction: 08:11Hard-Boiled Cop and Dolphin: 10:04Pokémon Sword & Shield: The Isle of Armor – 12:29NieR: AutomataNieR: Automata, Sans Spoilers - 19:13NieR: Automata, Full of Spoilers Playthrough #1 - 35:08NieR: Automata, Full of Spoilers Playthrough #2 - 47:46NieR: Automata, Full of Spoilers Playthrough #3 - 57:20Stand Out Moments - 82:22OSMs out of OSM - 84:42

Hello Adventurers! We are once again canvasing memory lane, bringing you the back half of the dungeons of A Realm Reborn. From Patch 2.1 all the way to Patch 2.5. Let us regale you with times long past, back when these level 50 dungeons were once the height of difficulty! The heady salad days of Final Fantasy XIV dungeons where you would get three, three whole new dungeons to a patch! The good, the bad, and the puns that graced the required quests to open them, in this issue of the Carbuncle Chronicle.

Hark! What's that, you hear? The grand return of the OSMquest?! Forsooth! It IS!!! So here's the game. Sometimes, you feel like a skeleton. In a dungeon. And you get bored. So you go on a road trip. Some may call it... An adventure. Especially if you are playing the game Adventure Skeletons by Grant Howitt and Chris Taylor. Which... we were! You can find the game we played, and a whole bunch more, over at https://gshowitt.itch.io/!

Hello Adventurers! With Patch 5.3 still very much something on the horizon we decided dig way, way back: To the original relaunch of the game. Patch 2.0, or as we tend to call it now, ARR for A Realm Reborn! And from our digging, we found dungeons! A bunch of them! So for this issue of the Carbuncle Chronicle, we are tackling the first set of dungeons introduced in Patch 2.0. From Sastasha all the way to Amdapor Keep.

Ever think that maybe the world would be a better place if you just blew some daggum Mako Reactors? Well, Barret Wallace did and maybe he was on the right track. In fact he was right in 1997, and he was right today too. And now you can live that Barret Wallace life in full glorious HD thanks to the Final Fantasy VII Remake. Which by the by, is the what our new episode is all about! All two hours of it. Well, most of it, anyway!OSMnotesOK, well we all can't be cool like Barret and blow up Mako Reactors to save the planet. But we can all go to https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/ and find out other ways to help.

Hello Adventurers! So the world outside is pretty dire, where frankly the Garleans are feeling like the lesser evil to real life right now. So if you need something to take your mind off things, we have got you covered. In this Issue of the Carbuncle Chronicle we turn back to clock to where we got started with the Final Fantasy series. And we reminisce on our journeys through MMOs till we reached Final Fantasy XIV.

Remember back in the day, when you could throw a bunch of people into the same space together? Just bunch a people all grouped up into rooms, to be able to get some education? Yeah, it was a fairy tale then too. But maybe, just maybe, if you went to Greendale Community College you could learn a lesson. About life. Or, at least how TV shows work. This is the OSMcast! episode where we talk about the TV show Community, created by Dan Harmon.OSMnotesFirst things first, congrats to John and Mike for finally getting Twitch Affiliate for TheseAreVideoGames! Secondly, sure you should probably watch Community on Netflix, so they'll spend Netflix money on the hopefully eventual Community movie!Thirdly, MomoConline just wrapped up!

Last time, we broke down the latest Liver Letter and got hyped for Patch 5.3. This time, we break down the latest event in game, starting today! It's the latest in the Itinerant Moogle series, where you can run old content, and get cool loot.

It's a dog eat dog world out there! Or rather, a wolf eat rabbit world? At least a predator could eat prey world, expect that's looked down upon and really just a bad idea to do. At least that's the world of BEASTARS, the latest Netflix craze from the anime studio Orange based off the manga by Paru Itagaki. Which coincidentally, is the topic of this episode! Crazy how that works. OSMnotesWatch BEASTARS! Read BEASTARS!

Hello Adventurers! Warriors of Light Darkness! Welcome to the latest addition to the OSMcast! Family: The Carbuncle Chronicle, our dedicated Final Fantasy XIV podcast! Every other week, we're gonna tackle a different subject about FFXIV. In this episode, we cover the recently released Letter from the Producer LIVE from Naoki Yoshida and the FFXIV team. They talk about the impact that COVID-19 has had, causing development delays. They also read a wonderful letter from a doctor who plays FFXIV, and a preview of the eventual Patch 5.3: Reflections in Crystal. If you would like to read along with us chattering away, the dev team just released their text digest of the Live Letter!We hope you enjoyed this new podcast series! Next time, we're gonna talk about a more personal topic, about our experience with Final Fantasy and MMOs in general.

Our boy John is back with yet another amazing interview! This time, he sits down virtually with the wondrous Deva Marie. You may recognize her voice best as the role of Flayn, from Fire Emblem: Three Houses!OSMnotesWe want to thank Deva Marie once again for taking the time to chat with us! Anna probably put it best:Currently editing the interview @J5isLive did with @deva_marie for the @OSMcast and can I just say I love her? She sounds like such an awesome and sweet lady and someone I would love to hang out with!— 🏹🎶Anna B.🎶🏹 (@Angeldrkfire) April 20, 2020And hey, we know this year is a tough time. One of the ways it's been tough is that a lot of us go to cons throughout the year, and right now there are no cons. That's a bummer! So Momocon is trying their best to keep that spirit alive through the internet. On Thursdays and Saturdays for the next few weeks from 7pm to 10pm EST via their Twitch channel, they'll be playing some of the best moments from past Momocons. And maybe even some cool newer stuff soon as well! And speaking of Momocon, next week's show is already in the bag! We'll be talking about the latest season of Chihayafuru, with Jess of Momofame and Kory from the Taiiku and Manga in Your Ears podcasts. Hope to see you back!

WELP. This has sure been a thing. You see, the OSMcast has always been a "folks in person in front of a microphone" kind of podcast. With world events being what they are, that wasn't gonna fly anymore. So we decided to try something new. Recording via the Internet. Which is very exciting!So, we tested our recording with asking, receiving, and now answering questions from Listeners Like You! As well as some Moments of OSM. Hope you all enjoy!OSMnotesWe also want to give big props to our wondrous comrades in arms, Third Impact Anime! Not only are they an awesome podcast and blog in their own right, but they also host an outstanding Discord! Which everyone should join and talk anime and video games and other things with us.

Oh, hello there! Fancy world we live in now. It's sure has had a lot of ups and downs lately! And what better way to make your way through it all, than to watch Ride Your Wave, by Science Saru, directed by Masaaki Yuasa? There isn't, so thankfully we have a podcast for you all about it! Also... other things. OSMnotesSo yea! Of course, you can always hit up GKIDS Films' website for potential future theater viewings, although really you may be best off waiting for the home release.

And while you are waiting in line at the polls, we have an episode for you to listen to! Recorded at Seishun Con 2020, we kick back with the Tennessee Crew and talk about, well... all sorts of things. OSMnotesAnd here are some of those things!

If you can help at all, we have heard that The Community Foundation is a great place to donate to.

So this past few weekends ago, Seishun Con happened. And it was fun! One of the fun things was yet another attempt at an OSMcast LIVE! show. This time, we planned on doing a podcast about Crusher Joe with our pals over at Akihabara Renditions. Only... Funny thing! Communication failed, and half of us did not watch Crusher Joe in time for this panel. So, this is the audio you get instead. Next time, a slightly more planned episode recorded at Seishun Con, along with our Tennessee compatriots.

Whoa what's this craziness this is not the normal OSMcast?!? Nope this is a whole new OSMcast-produced thing, we're calling Touched by a Duelist! It's a new weekly, show where we are covering the anime series Touched and Yu-Gi-Oh!Touch being the baseball anime, based on the manga by Mitsuru Adachi, and Yu-Gi-Oh! being the card battling anime, based on the manga by Kazuki Takahashi.This episode we are covering the Touch episode 1, "No matter what everybody says, we're twins!!" And the Yu--Gi-Oh! episode 1, The Fearsome Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

Accidentally continuing on a spooky-ish track*, we are gathered tonight to release a podcast about demons! And slayers! Of, well, demons! It's an anime and manga called Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. The manga is by Koyoharu Gotouge, with the anime adaption by Ufotable.*Clearly you can tell by how echo-y it is. Because it's spooky, not because it was much a more open room this time or anything... OSMnotesAs of this recording, the anime is out there streaming courtesy of Aniplex. So you can find it on Crunchyroll, Funimation, and Hulu. The manga is released by Viz, and they can be bought via volumes either physically or digitally. Or, you can stream the volumes on your electronic device via their Shonen Jump Plus app. But while you are buffering, have some Time Cues: We start the OSMcasting – 00:00 General Gabbing - 00:32 Moments of OSM – 04:29Sexiled: My Sexist Party Leader Kicked Me Out, So I Teamed Up With a Mythical Sorceress!

Well Basil, Anna, and Dylan are. We've got the run down on the panels over here at itsbasiltime dot coms. Hope to see you there!And you are, or even if you aren't come hang out with us on Discord! Well, it's the Third Impact Anime's Discord. But we're there all the same.

Feeling up for something s̵̹̲̒͝p̸̥̔͂o̶̫̩͂o̸̦͋̓k̴͖̝̋̀y̷̘͌̿? Well we have the podcast for you! In the last of our Hamacon 10 podcasts, here is another OSMquest guest starring the Master of Decreepitude himself, Mr Creepy Pasta! Or is it MrCreepyPasta? Or Ḿ̷̻̳͉̞͑͝͝r̸̢͕̫̃̓̏C̴̘̀r̸̺͌̽̔e̴̤̎̍̀̎e̷͓͑̃̍p̴̝̟̽͜͝ý̶͖̬͖́́͜P̴̢͍̺̈́̾a̵̭͓̪̤̓̀š̵̖ṭ̸̄́̃a̵̯͎͌? Either way, we RPGed it up with him! Creepily. OSMnotesOh no, a cliffhanger?!? Sadly. sometimes you can't always get a full game into an interview slot. But what can you do? Invite the OSMcast and Mr Creepypasta to your next con! I dunno about the Creepmeister, but the OSMcast comes pretty cheap. The name of the game is The Beast, made by Grant Howitt. It is a game where you are monster hunter hunting the monsters. Somewhere in Eastern Europe, because that's where all the best monsters are. You can ask anyone, they will tell you this. Speaking of things you can do, you can find all of Grant’s wonderful games at https://gshowitt.itch.io/.

Sometimes, you get interviews at a con. But sometimes, you get them straight from the source. You get some of that good stuff. Fresh, uncut, farm to table, pure internet kind of interview. For this episode, our wonderful master interviewer John sat down with the amazing Dorothy Fahn.Lately, you may have heard her as the voice of Mercedes in Fire Emblem: Three Houses. But she has lent her voice to many characters, like Meryl Stryfe in Trigun, or Melody from the latest take of Hunter x Hunter. Or perhaps, all the Digimon? She's been a few (Lalamon, Sunflowmon, Lilamon, and Rosemon)!OSMnotes!We wanted to thank Dorothy for her time with us. It was our pleasure and we hope everyone enjoyed listening!

Hello out there! So, today turns out to be Hashtag International Podcast Day, and so we have a podcast for you! To be all... International with. During your uh... Day.So in this episode we got to interview Sequya, aka Rainbow Redwood, one of Hamacon's Cosplay Guests. OSMnotes Here, have some more info about Sequya, courtesy of the Hamacon wesbite! Rainbow Redwood is an award winning cosplayer, YouTube content creator, and seamstress. At the age of 14 she taught herself how to use a sewing machine and has never stopped learning since then. Her love for theater, dance, and historical clothing naturally lead her to perusing cosplay. At conventions when she’s not completing in craftsmanship cosplay contests she enjoys being a co-captain of Hamacon Idols*, hosting panels, teaching dance workshops (KPOP and Love Live), and judging cosplay contests. To keep up with her online you can find her here:Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/rainbowredwoodInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/rainbowredwoodrose/FaceBook: https://www.facebook.com/rainbowredwood/Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/rainbowredwoodTumblr: http://rainbowredwood.tumblr.com/*Sequya is now a member of Pure☆Candy, a new idol group made of previous Hamacon Idols. You can check our their insta here: https://www.instagram.com/purecandyidols/

OK, so what do you do when you have some of your favorite people to interview. In this case, Micah Solusod and Ayu Sakata. Only, you have interviewed them. Several times. In fact, last time they decided to interview you, instead. So now what do you do?Apparently, the answer is you play a tabletop RPG with them! So that's what we did.The name of the game is Honey Heist, made by Grant Howitt. It is a game where you are bear. You do crimes. We, as bears, did crimes. So many crimes. Micah was new to this, but you can't tell. You can find all of Grant's wonderful games at https://gshowitt.itch.io/.

Dipping once more into the wonderfully rich Hamacon 10 well, we have this lovely interview with Ask Cosplay-Senpai! Wonder whom this wonderful person is? Well, haven you ever been stuck on a costume piece? Can’t quite figure out how that prop goes together? Ask Cosplay-Senpai! With a decade of personal experience, over 25,000 items created, and hundreds of convention panels over the past decade, they are here to share their love for media, fandom, and—most of all—costuming! Find them on Instagram @askcosplaysenpai for tutorials, live builds and walkthroughs, and any advice you need on making your next cosplay the best it can possibly be. There is also this delightful interview with them. OSMnotes Find Ask Cosplay-Senpai in all these socially media-type places! And also buy stuff from their super-good buy stuff Website store!

Happy Labor Day! This is the holiday where we celebrate the good, hard-working folks over at NERV. Their tireless efforts to protect us from those dastardly Angels and their constant attempts at creating the Third Impact. And who is the hardest working person there? Well, it would be none other than the wonderful, talented, and won't hurt us at all ever, Asuka Langley Soryu! What we are getting at here is that this is an interview at Hamacon with renowned voice over artist Tiffany Grant, known best for her role as said Asuka Langley Soryu from Neon Genesis Evangelion.

So, kids. When two podcasts like each other very much, they have a crossover episode. And when the OSMcast! and Third Impact Anime both like the works of Masaaki Yuasa and studio Science Saru? They have an episode about the movie The Night Is Short, Walk on Girl, adapted from the novel by Tomihiko Morimi. Protip: This crazy experiment was recorded live at Hamacon 10. This is also the first time we have tried such a thing, so the audio is a little weird here and there. But still pretty listenable!

Continuing on our journey through all the interviews we took part of at Momocon 2019, here's the one with Keith Silverstein! Who is that you may ask? Well, he has done a lot! Many will know him as Torbjörn from Overwatch, or maybe Char Aznable from Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin. Just all sorts of things! But he will forever hold a special place in our hearts around this parts, as Johnny Boya from mother flippin' REDLINE.

As we continue the adventures of SS Momocon 2019, here is an interview we got to take part in with Zach Callison! He is probably best known giving the voice to a wonderful kid we know as Steven Universe. It's a show we kinda like. Enjoy!

So if you haven't noticed yet, we had a ton of interviews at this past Momocon! In this one, we chatted with Deedee Magno Hall! Not only is her name amazing, she herself was also amazing as Pearl, in a cartoon people like to call Steven Universe. As... that is the cartoon's name. She was also Princess Jasmine in Disney's Aladdin: A Musical Spectacular for many years, as well as Nessarose in Wicked! She knows how to carry a tune, is all we are saying here.

From Momocon 2019, we got the chance to talk to Carolina Ravassa! Or as you Overwatch kids may know her as, Sombra.

So sure. maybe some other major video games expo may be happening right now, but what about what has happened before? Like, say, Momocon a few weeks back. We were there, and played an absolute non-literal ton of indie video games. These are those stories. OSMnotes Man, that was a bunch of neat games! Mostly. But hey, if you need even MORE independent coverage of independent games, Basil has made an independent post over at itsbasiltime.com to talk about some of the games that he enjoyed that were submitted to the Momocon Indie Awards Showcase, but were not on the show floor. That said, here's the Time Cues for all the games we covered that were: We start the OSMcasting – 0:00 General Gabbing - 0:35 The Indie Games at Momocon 2018 Roundguard by Wonderbelly Games - 03:30 Looking For Heals by Blue Bomber Games – 06:39 SiNKR 2 by Wahler Digital - 11:17 Pixel Puzzle Makeout League - Glass Knuckle Games – 14:56 Mop Boy – 18:51 Tech Support: Error Unknown by Dragon Slumber – 22:28 (break) Road to the Champ by Pizza Pranks – 26:50 Slime:EVO by Falcon Stories – 30:24 Tiny Kingdoms by Multipath LLLP – 32:41 Astoria Legends by Studio XV – 36:27 Evolution: The Video Game by North Star Digital Studios – 37:52 Eagle Island by Pixelnicks – 40:35 Tiny Metal: Full Metal Rumble by Area 35 - 43:52 As We Know It: A Visual Novel – 45:36 Aquadine by SoftColors – 47:58 La Rana by SMU Guildhall – 49:09 Parallel by Red Ink – 50:24 Baby Adopter Galaxy by x2line.com LLC – 53:27 Table Fighter – 56:24 (break) Honorable Mentions – 59:08 Boomerang Fu – 59:19 Inti-Creates – 60:00 Doki Doki Literature Club by Team Salvator – 60:36 Personal Locks of the Show – 61:01

We're back from Momocon, and here to serve you with one of many interviews we got take part in during the con! In this episode, we got the chance to speak with Monica Rial. You may know her best as Bulma from Dragon Ball and the letters that come after, but's she done a ton voices throughout the years. So many, her own website even says Hey, check out ANN for a really good list. That said, you should totally check her out on Twitter!

OK... Hmm... well, uh, this a weird one? Back in time, when Hamacon 8 was happening, we sat down to interview Micah Solusod and Ayu Sakata. Only, they decided since we have interviewed them a few times, they turned the table to interview us. Us mostly being John and Charlie. So, enjoy this one! Micah and Ayu are both super accomplished folks. They have an amazing webcomic called the Ties That Bind, they create games over at sakevisual. Oh, and they voice all your favorite characters, too! Too bad they decided to ask us the questions, huh?

So as you may have noticed, we were at a con recently. That con being MTAC Lunar, a fine lead in to next years already better MTAC Score. Because, you know... Sports anime theme. But as you may now realize, a fresh new con trip now can sometimes include a fresh new episode from our new format, Moments of TN OSM. That's right, we got the Tennessee crew in to talk about all... sorts... of... things. Look, just skip down to the Time Cues. OSMnotes Here are said Time Cues (I was told by our editor that these must not be edited in any way, so they are not... mostly): We start the OSMcasting – 00:00 General Gabbing - 00:33 Moments of OSM – 01:09 Panda Jail – 01:15 Ţ̗͇̣̜̱̥̅̐̆̈̽̒̓̆̎͢͞h̸̨̛̘̤̬̦̩̦́͐̑̃͐́̚̕͡ȇ̵̢̘̯͉̳̰̯̠̳̿͐̓̈́̀͝ Ì̶̢̱̜̥͙̖̖͔̎́̇̓͡l̷̨͈̫̩̻͑̎͊͒̕͠l̡̡̛͎̦̳̮̓̐͂̂̿́̓͞u̯͓̼̜͙̻̞̪͍͗̐̏͊͌́͟m̵̪̭̺̤̩͚͈̜̥̼̃̾̎̒̀̋̕i̢͔̞̩̺̖͂͛͑̑̇̽̂̈ͅņ̶̼̳̤̹͎̮̪̀̄̅̈̓̾̉̕͡͡ā̯̝͍̳͓̪͎̪̠͖͆̑̏̿̀̓̈́͑̚ť̶̠͙̮̪̭͉̺̺͓̻͆̏̽͆̕i̧̤͖̼̗͓͔̹̯͛̐͐̐̄̔̀̎͜͝ Part 2 – 02:40 Chaika – The Coffin Princess – 06:11 Sarazanmai, Ep. 2 - 07:30 Chi’s Sweet Home manga – 09:00 Then they just… talk about random shit Final Thoughts – 25:09 Special Shout Out To Co-Audio Producer on all of the MTAC 2019 Episodes: Mike! @ViNull

Hi everybody! It's time for our second installment of the MTAC Lunar podcast trilogy! We had the opportunity to chat with the amazing Sarah Anne Williams! She has done a bunch of voice-over roles over the past eight years for both anime and video games. Some of those include Sayaka Miki in Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Nonon Jakuzure in Kill la Kill, Jack Frost in Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse, Chihaya Mifune in Persona 5, Chiara Rocino / Lily in Valkyria Chronicles 4, and a whole bunch more! Thank you so much to both MTAC as well as Sarah for sitting down with us! It was a blast. Also thanks goes out to Charlie Grace for giving us that extra spice to liven things up!

OK sure, MTAC Lunar just wrapped up, but we could not wait to get you this episode! We got the chance to sit down and chat with both Martin Billany AND Marianne Miller, it was such a delight. Martin is better known online as "LittleKuriboh," the creator of Yu-Gi-Oh The Abridged Series. Marianne is better known as... Marianne! But she is also the voice of many a wonderful character, like Amanda O'Neill from Little Witch Academia, or Mossan from FLCL Alternative! We chat about all sorts of topics, like Star Wars, Assassin's Creed Odyssey, wrestling, how to try to be better people, Final Fantasy XIV, just all kinds of things. OSMnotes Here's a bunch of places you can find Martin and Marianne: Martin on Twitter!Marianne on Twitter!Martin's YouTube Page!Martin's Twitch Channel!Marianne's Twitch Channel!Marianne on Instagram!Their cat Mozzarella on Twitter! Once again, big ol' thanks to both Martin Billany and Marianne Miller for chatting with us, andto MTAC for hosting us all! It was a great con to attend, and we aren't done with MTAC content yet! We'll see you all soon~
