    Your host is finally back from their podcasting break! With Crunchyroll finally pulling the plug on the last remnants of the once mighty Rightstuf online store...where is an anime fan supposed to shop that isn't just another faceless, soulless corporation?! I set out the call to you, my listeners, to give us your recommendations! Returning friend Rachel, who is also a big proponent of physical media, joins me as we chat about your recommendations, some of the places we love to shop, reminiscing about shopping for anime & manga back when it was a LOT harder, and just try to keep laughing despite all the annoyances this year continues to bring us. Join us, and maybe find a few new places to buy your next obsession.

    This month’s episode is another short ReView! What is a “ReView” episode, you might ask? Well, it’s my highly-clever (ok not really) name for episodes where I go back and revisit an older title I haven’t seen in a long time, and see if what I remember (and what my opinions on it) are still the same now that some time’s gone by. This month, Animeigo's Kickstarter bluray for Dagger of Kamui found it's way to my doorstep one cold December morning...so what better time to revisit this 80s Rintaro classic? This movie truly has everything: Ninja, monks, psychedelic flashing colors, cowboys, treasure hunts, a banger soundtrack, and even Mark Twain! But is that truly enough to make this movie great? Let's revisit it and find out!

TokyoTreat makes the perfect gift for any occasion. Use code "NOSTALGIA" for $5 off your first #TokyoTreat box through my link: https://team.tokyotreat.com/theanimenostalgia

    This month, after NINE (?!!!) years since his first time on the podcast, returning champion, author, and Mamoru Oshii scholar Brian Ruh is back on the podcast to talk all about arguably Oshii's most "arthouse" creation that not only recently made it's way into American theaters thanks to GKids, but is celebrating it's 40th anniversary next month: Angel's Egg! We discuss eggs-actly why this movie being officially released in America after all this time is a pretty big deal, and just why we enjoy a movie with huge chunks of no one talking at all! Plus: Answering your questions, and I promise very minimal egg related puns & yolks--I mean, jokes. So if you're traveling this Thanksgiving, don't worry--I brought over 2 hours of podcast for you to help you get through it. Enjoy!
