Third Impact Anime Podcast

Third Impact did a good. We went to a con.  Unfortunately, the podcast recording did a bad.  We didn't lose much other than Tobias' intro (but you guys know him already) and Austin's breakdown of the convention which you can find here, now!  Ichibancon is an anime convention in Concord, North Carolina. 2018 is it's 9th year running and it's the second largest anime convention in the state right under Raleigh's Animazement. It features the usual convention content like cosplay, panels, and dealers but also had a fantastic game room and some stand-out guests. The major guests this year were Dante Basco (Hook, Avatar: The Last Airbender), Cassandra Lee Morris (K-On!, Sword Art Online, Madoka Magica), and Vic Mignogna (Fullmetal Alchemist, Star Trek Continues).  [We also lost a little bit in the middle so if it rapidly cuts, that's why. Our bad] BUT! More important than all that is what we did, which is what we spend this episode breaking down.  We discuss: Dealers, artists, panels, cool cosplays, some lunatic pulling the fire alarm, Godzilla and her inflatable children, butt touching among friends, bootleg video game dealers, other cool panelists, Daicon IV, Ryan wanting to fight Charles Dunbar, Porgs, Pop Team Epic, Edwin, impromptu panels, Jon actually buying something, Chinese food, Bill phoning in kinda, Devilman, and twitter questions!  Check out our con pictures here! https://thirdimpactanime.wordpress.com/ichibancon-2018/ Listen to us everywhere!  iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/third-impact-anime-podcast/ Google Play Music: https://play.google.com/music/listen?u=0#/ps/Il3e2lqbq2awcml5zuxa64lh7m4 Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/third-impact-anime-podcast Follow us home.  facebook.com/thirdimpactanime thirdimpactanime.wordpress.com Our twitters: Third Impact @TI_Anime Austin @bebopshock Tobias @reverend_tobias Tori @worstwaifu Ryan @rdmcintee Marisa @muse0ica Jon @thegentlejan

Sully, Tobias, and Bill gather around the fireplace to chat about Satoshi Kon's Christmas classic.

"Betty, do you know who you truly are?" Austin, Andrew, and Ryan had the extreme pleasure of being able to bring on a VERY special guest for this episode of the podcast; veteran voice actor Paul St. Peter! We sat down with Paul to chat about Kingdom Hearts, Naruto, voice acting, his various other roles, the voice acting industry, and other topics.  [Note: I edited the interview slightly for content and clarity because we were interrupted a few times, but the edit should be seamless. If it isn't in some instances, that's why haha] For anyone who submitted questions on Facebook, make sure to listen to hear if we asked him yours! Thanks so much to everyone who submitted! Special shout out to Paul St. Peter for coming on the show and to Asheville Anime Regional Convention for hosting us and making this whole thing possible!  Keep up with Paul and AARC here!  Paul St. Peter Fan Page AARC on Facebook Enjoy the show!  This is an archived episode of Borderline Podcasts.  Look for our podcasts on iTunes and GooglePlay!
