Since our previous Lupin the Third episodes (on The Mystery of Mamo and The Fuma Conspiracy) have done extremely well and everyone seems to like them, we decided we definitely needed to do another one before 2018 was over. So, we did! and we made it extra special by having on Daryl Surat! You may know Daryl from his long-running anime podcast, Anime World Order, or from his articles in Otaku USA and on Anime News Network. And if you've ever been scarred at convention panels by the names of "Anime's Craziest Deaths" or "Panel of DOOM", you can blame this guy.  (Anime World Order: www.animeworldorder.com) (Otaku USA: http://www.otakuusamagazine.com/) In this episode, we talk about the second Lupin the Third theatrical film, the legendary directorial debut of Hayao Miyazaki before he founded Studio Ghibli, Lupin the Third: The Castle of Cagliostro.  During catchup we introduce Daryl, ask him what's been going on with AWO, Otaku USA, and how the First of the North Star game is going. Bill talks Red Dead II, Tobias talks SSSS. Gridman, and Austin talks Dark Souls Remastered (a game franchise that Daryl's 60ish year old father is incredibly good at). We then talk about the movie, the Lupin franchise at large, it's tonal differences, the production staff of Cagliostro, Miyazaki's flair, "asbestos suits", Tobias' experience watching his FIRST LUPIN THING, and how amazing Discotek is.  Want to watch The Castle of Cagliostro for yourself? As of the release of this episode it is on Netflix and available on home video from Right Stuf and Discotek Media. (Netflix: https://www.netflix.com/title/70050576) (Right Stuf: https://www.rightstufanime.com/Lupin-the-3rd-The-Castle-of-Cagliostro-Blu-ray-Hyb-Collectors-Edition) We are happy to remind everyone that Bill has graciously provided a copy of The Rose of Versailles Part 1 as a FREE giveaway to one of you listeners out there!

This is a very special bonus episode that we put little to no effort into creating! At Animazement 2018, Tobias and I attended the "100 Years of Anime" panel hosted by Producer Masuo Ueda, animator Kazushige Yusa, director Akitaro Daichi, and curator of the Tokyo Anime Center, Asaba-san (I couldn't make out his full name). They discuss the most influential anime on their life and work, how anime has changed over the years, their struggles and successes as creators, how anime works in the west, and then took some audience questions at the end. It was incredibly fascinating and the whole panel was just hilarious.  Sorry for the audio quality being garbage, this was recorded on my phone afterall. So sorry about that! Here's the video Ueda showed before the panel. It's amazing and beautiful and just WOWIE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4t-GV4XcJak As always, keep up with us over at Third Impact by following us on Twitter at www.twitter.com/TI_Anime and PLEASE give us a and star review over on our Facebook page, we'd really appreciate that. www.facebook.com/thirdimpactanime You can follow me (Austin) on Twitter at www.twitter.com/bebopshock Check out the Tokyo Anime Center here https://animecenter.jp/

Another year, another AZ down. This was a good one, folks. Tobias, Austin, Tori, Marisa, and Ryan chat about panels, guests, dealers, dinosaur volunteers, UMD disks, bootleggers, and all those wonderful things you find at cons these days.  This episode is a little bit dated as we recorded it about 2 weeks ago and I mention being excited for E3 which has now passed and BOY there were some choice announcments there, and they were all Kingdom Hearts III related ;)  Anyways, we hope you enjoy the episode!
