    Voiced By Aramis Babcock, Edited /Directed By Quint Mason III. Featuring Doug Stone Welcome to Animaze...ing the Stories of Kevin Seymour I am your host Aramis and this is Episode 015 of the show, Interview with Doug Stone. Doug Stone has done everything from writing, directing, voice over, casting and so much more since the 70s-80s. From video games to foreign live action dubs to films and anime Doug has done so much in the industry. Check out his IMDB page for a full run down of all of his work.

Support a cause Kevin would have if he were still with us by checking out Kitty Bungalow Charm School for Wayward Cats https://www.kittybungalow.org/Kitty Bungalow is a community cat organization and kitten socialization facility. They focus their attention on providing services for the most vulnerable of felines. Their cats and kittens come from the mean streets of Los Angeles, whether it be directly from TNR, pulling from LA Animal Services, or working with our remarkable rescue partners.  Kitty Bungalow provides the South Los Angeles community with access to free TNR services, which allows for thousands of community cats to be fixed, receive vaccines and flea treatment, and get returned to the people who care for them.  Kitty Bungalow intakes hundreds of underage kittens each year into Charm School and provides them with safe and secure outcomes via our Adoption Program. Their dedicated family of onsite Volunteers and Foster parents care for their "Students" and use fear-free socialization techniques to take street cats from 'Hiss to Home.' As a No-Kill facility, they believe that working together is how the best life-saving strategies come to be. ​  As a 501c3, they rely on community support.​ Please consider donating, volunteering or adopting. ​Change a cat's life, today.

    Episode 013: Interview with Mimi Woods (FIRST EVER AUDIO INTERVIEW)(Ghost in the Shell Movie 30th Anniversary)

    Voiced By Aramis Babcock, Edited /Directed By Quint Mason III. Featuring Mimi Woods Welcome to Animaze...ing the Stories of Kevin Seymour I am your host Aramis and this is Episode 013 of the show, Interview with Mimi Woods. My guest today I was told would be illusive to track down, a "Ghost" if you will. Well it turns out you just gotta network your way there. Mimi Woods was there at the beginning of Animaze/LA Hero alongside the Fahn Family, Steve Blum, Victor Garcia and a handful more. You may know Mimi the most as "The Major" Motoko Kusanagi from the original Ghost in The Shell Film released in 1996 in North America. She also appears in most of LA Hero/Animaze projects leading up to 1996 when she moved out of LA, only appearing in a few more before leaving the acting industry for good. Her last role was in the 2000 video game The Bouncer. According to Mimi this is her first audio interview she has done, with the only other interview being in the 1997 1st issue of PlayStation Magazine which was conducted while recording for the PS1 video game. Lastly I am glad to have recorded this during the films 30th anniversary and I do plan to coincidently have Richard Epcar and his wife Ellyn on the show this year as well. Sit back as Mimi and I talk the stories of Kevin, of Animaze, and of the industry back then. I appreciate everyone who is tuning in and thank you for your continued viewership.

    Voiced/Edited By Aramis Babcock, Scripted By Quint Mason III. Welcome to Animaze...ing the Stories of Kevin Seymour I am your host Aramis and this is Episode 012 of the show, Project Log 5. Its been a minute, life got busy and I did not want to rush this. First thing, I finally fixed my Audio so no more ground looping (I know Joe pointed that out in my first episode so I am glad I could get it fixed, only took 11 more episodes lol) Second, more episodes will be coming more frequently now that I have more leads and a better idea of how I want to structure certain episodes. I quickly want to thank Richard Epcar, Michelle Ruff, and Eddie Correa (aka MixterEd) for talking with me more about Kevin and offering to help me and let me poke their brains. I look forward to it. Archive should be updated by the end of the week and an episode on both Code Geass (Ep1/Ep2) and Guyver should also be coming soon. I plan on streaming on YouTube, specifically on building my archive, editing my episodes, or playing through Animaze videogames.
