Anime World Order Podcast Anime World Order

The anime world order podcast is top tier. The banter is great. There is a near perfect balance of tastes and perspectives. punches are not pulled and it is refreshing. Insights on directors, key animators and general production staff. Also a real time record of anime’s availability and popularity over the 12+ years that the podcast has been around. I have grown to truly love this show.

I've watched over 500 animes most of them old school and I still don't understand half of the conversations, theses guys are hardcore. A bit elitiest, but that's okay.

While there is usually only one episode a month of this podcast, it is jam packed with excellent material. Listening is a joy from front to back. The hosts have been watching anime a long time, care about the anime that they watch, and take the time to dive deep in to their subjects. Reviews are thoughtful, interesting and fascinating. You may even learn a thing or two about anime history you didn't know - especially for younger audiences.

My only criticism is that sometimes the two male hosts will go on for a long time and Clarissa will not get a word in edgewise. Could just be my imagination, but it seems she gets interrupted a lot and the lion's share of the broadcast time goes to Gerald and Daryl. In any case, I still love the podcast a lot and I am always looking forward to the next episode.
