Podtoid-san 64: Not quite as cool as Mario 64, but still fun edition photo





Mario 64 is one of those games that belongs in a museum. It was the first of its kind, and was the foundation behind a genre. Podtoid-san 64 might not be as cool as Mario 64, but belongs in a museum as well. Of course Podtoid-san would be in the Japanator wing, alongside stuffed reproductions of myself and John Martone. However, I got a funny feeling the food court in this wonderful museum would suck though. We can’t win them all.

This week we have Scott from Anime Almanac on the show, though you might know him by his Native American name, Hates Fansubs Running Wolf. We discuss in full the destruction of PIQ and why its sad to kick a jumping dog. Why a certain panel that took place in Anime Next will invoke such strong emotions from those who participated in it. Finally, we talk about why ADV is selling office supplies now, and wonder if they will be the next Office Max. That and so much more, check us out now before we are in a museum.

God Len
Gia
John Martone

Hey! Don't make fun of my native name! It was given to me by my father, He Who Gets The Pageviews Sitting Bear. ;-)
Okay, A) I have no idea what Scott is talking about, proving I need to re-listen to the show
B) The food court would probably suck? Len, I love you.
C) Scott says funny things too, I just don't quite get them yet, and may never understand.
I love listening to PTS while doing the dishes. Im off to go do some dishes now.
@John

I was responding to Len's comments in this post:

"though you might know him by his Native American name, Hates Fansubs Running Wolf."
And just to be fair, I was really caught off-guard with the fansub subject when we were recording this podcast. I wasn't even finish with writing the Ayres article at that time and I wasn't expecting it to be talked about.

So after giving some of the questions some more thought, I did put together this Q&A page to better convey my reasoning for going 100% legit:

http://animealmanac.com/qa/

Please read that before you all start talking about how much I suck, especially the part where I say, "While I would be very happy if you decide to also go fully legit from my essays, I do not expect you to."

OK? (^_^)
Let's all talk about how much Scott sucks.

P.S. Scott you suck.

Just kidding, I really do understand your point of going "fully legit" however, it is something I can never do :'(

My argument for this whole thing is that I don't care about half the crap anime I watch, and that if:
A) I knew Japanese and
B) I lived in Japan
I would be paying for whatever cable stations brought me the neverending supply of anime goodness that I would probably never watch again (anime like Kanokon or Rental Magica etc. you get my point).

Now if there is some epic anime that I love oh so much (TTGL) then yes, I say buy, buy like there's no tommorrow.
Unfortunately, at the moment there's no viable way to get all that anime that airs in Japan, good or bad, over here. I do have to say though that Gonzo is going in the right direction with allowing for streaming their shows right when they come out with subtitles and all.
Glad I could help contribute content
Mario 64 was good but Banjo-Kazooie was art.
Slim: YES! How could I forget it! I spent days pondering how I could get more and more delicious puzzle pieces.
What song is at the being of this podcast. I can hear Star Rise for Bamboo Blade but somehow it is different. Anyhow great work everyone.
I'm surprised, it seems you haven't (or at least John and Gia haven't) seen a lot of Ghibli films..

Also that JAM Project song sounded like the Bowser battle song in Super Mario 64 at first, but then the violins came in..
*agrees with Chicken008*
1. My favorite Ghibli title is certainly not Tales from Earthsea, that's probably my least favorite {although I felt like a lolicon watching Kiki's Delivery Service}. It's either Grave of the Fireflies or Spirited Away
2. I know downloading fansubs is wrong, I'm certainly not going to defend what I do. I do try to buy as much anime as it reasonably available to me {not a whole lot}.
Scott doesn't suck at all, I likely the Scott.
TORRENT IS UP!
