And here we are, running down the major bits and pieces from Anime Expo once again, all while the industry is threatened more now than ever in recent memory of suffering from a bursting bubble. It’s best to enjoy things while we still can, but that does include plenty of upcoming projects like… more Fire Force and Blue Exorcist… but there’s more TRIGUN and Panty & Stocking coming so it all balances out in the end. And that’s not withstanding the folks from RWBY getting a new place of employment at Viz Media, the newest arc of One Piece getting ready for its dub premiere and the long-awaited finish line of “simuldub” inching closer and closer, and even a new film project from Shoji Kawamori in the works as well, along with plenty more to dive into and discuss. There’s a lot to get to as we’re in the heat of convention season, so for this “landmark” 175th episode, we’re… going to do the same as usual. Except it’s molten hot outside, so that’s what makes this a bit more special. I think.
A little bit of FYI for those who are curious: most shows we do are initially recorded anywhere from 2-3 hours in one call, though sometimes it can be a little longer than 3 hours, while the editing process can take anywhere from 6 to 10 hours to scroll through everything and make the necessary cuts and edits in several editing sessions. So if anyone’s wondering why these shows take a while to come out, that’s why. It’s a one-man editing operation on a MacBook Pro, at the end of the day.
We’ll be back to talk SDCC and Otakon very soon.
