  • A retro weeb dream!

    Do you like forgotten, obscure, retro, or old media? Check! Are you an Otaku, and love anime and manga? Check! Do you love finding lost gems? Check! Each episode the host goes into detail on titles that would be forgotten to newer generation of anime fans. It’s easy to see the hosts love for these titles, and I have yet to finish an episode without thinking “man, I really want to watch/read that!

  • A space for fun nostalgia and in-depth nerdism

    As someone who’s been into Manga and anime since the 90’s, it gets hard for em to get into the new Titles and media.

    Media that refuses to adjust to the current progress, media that sticks harmfully to it guns to minority representation and issues.

    It honestly disheartening and keeps me holed up in hope of re-release and remaster of older titles.

    This Podcast, rejuvenated my interest in the medium.

    The recommendations, the analysis, and the sheer fun presentation and love for Manga and anime... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Anime Nostalgia Podcast - ep 143: The Rose of Versailles (2025) Discussion with Tricia
Q: If this movie was supposed to be a musical, why were there so few musical numbers throughout?
We find it strange that there are songs but the characters only sang once and it felt disjointed as a musical.
The Anime Nostalgia Podcast - ep 143: The Rose of Versailles (2025) Discussion with Tricia
Q: Overall, did we like this movie?
There are things about it I like, but overall, I would say no, question mark.
The Anime Nostalgia Podcast - Ep 148: Angel's Egg with Brian Ruh
Q: Why do you think this is such an important film? Why do you think it is such a big deal for it to be finally coming out in English?
It's not just kind of a snapshot of a time that's perhaps just now finding an audience; it is also a film that persists, that continues to offer new meanings as one grows and changes.
The Anime Nostalgia Podcast - Ep 148: Angel's Egg with Brian Ruh
Q: If you had to describe Angel's Egg to someone who had never heard of it or seen it before, what's the elevator pitch you give to them about Angel's Egg?
It's certainly a film about expression; it's a film about... trying to think of what it means. It's not always very clear and maybe this isn't the best elevator pitch to say, hey, watch this film, you won't understand it, but it is a film that is open to many interpretations and will definitely elicit an emotional response.
The Anime Nostalgia Podcast - Ep 140: Record of Lodoss War with Grant
Q: What do you think of the official English cover of the song that was done by Akina O'Rai?
I had heard whatever was on the original VHS releases, and I'm quite partial to it. To me, I have to agree with our questioner's taste here. I think to me this is kind of like Smile Bomb, from Yu Hakusho, where I don't think you can play a version of this song that I don't like in any language. I think it's just a really gorgeous song and a great arrangement, and there's so many different ways that people bring different versions to it.
