Christmas is typically a time for family and loved ones. But for us, it's just another day. So let's answer some emails. Oh, and announce the winners of the contest we've been running for the last several months. Recording quality is a bit below the norm since this wasn't processed the usual way.

It's our fourth year anniversary! Our special guest is Otaku USA's Jason Thompson, author of Manga: The Complete Guide, so we're doing an all-manga edition of AWO. Clarissa spirals into madness with Uzumaki, Gerald lets fly with Crying Freeman, and Daryl passes on to the next life courtesy of Violence Hero Riki-Oh! For this episode we offer the option of downloading the show in segments if you go to the website. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

As a result of the hidden catches of web hosting, this podcast MAY VANISH FOREVER (or temporarily), but not before Gerald reviews Astro Fighter Sunred, Clarissa reviews Ristorante Paradiso, and Daryl reviews Sword of the Stranger!

WARNING: audio quality and editing aren't up to our usual "standards." But regardless, here's our quite-delayed, quite chaotic convention report for Anime Weekend Atlanta 2009! With our special guests, Gerald's Harem Plus Plus! [Amanda, Andrea, Laina, Brian] Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

After two and a half months we finally got it together and have edited some of our Otakon audio! Here's our interview with the Philadelphia Animation Society's "Old Timers of Anime," conducted Saturday, July 18 at Otakon 2009. Do go back and listen to our 2008 interview with them if you haven't already done so. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Courtesy of the Ani-Gamers Podcast at www.anigamers.com, here is the Otakon 2009 press conference for Japanese guests Noboru Ishiguro, Masao Maruyama, Yukio Kikukawa, and Hidenori Matsubara. Gerald and Clarissa were in attendance, as were several others. They edited it so we don't have to! Anime Weekend Atlanta panel preparations are still taking up all of our time, so if you'll be there, be sure and attend Doujin World (18+), History of Hentai (18+), Black Jack: Tezuka's Dark Doctor, the Panel OF DOOM!, and Anime's Craziest Deaths!

Show 82 concludes with Daryl's review of Bartender and Clarissa's review of One Outs. But first, a special voice mail from the ONE AND ONLY Vic Mignogna, who tells us all about his experience at Whack-a-Nerd at Anime Festival Orlando!

In return for what Gerald made her review, she's assigning him to review the Starship Troopers anime. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

It's been entirely too long since we've done any con reports. In fact, we owe about a year's worth. But here's our report for Otakon 2009 while it's still fresh in our minds. Warning: in order to release this "on time," we opted to more or less release the audio unedited. It's rougher than we'd like. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Show 81 concludes with Daryl's review of Kekko Kamen and Clarissa's review of Butt Attack Punisher Girl Gautaman. Along with the post-Anime Expo news, can you really call it the second half of a podcast when it's over 2 hours long? WE CAN!

The deadly experiment continues! This time it's Gerald's turn to pick the titles for everyone to review. He's taken the heavy burden of reviewing Yukikaze upon himself. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

The news segment for Show #80 ran long, so here it is in its own separate file. Numbered #80b because you guys said you didn't mind it. SORRY, BOSTONIANS! Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Show #80 begins Gerald's experiment, in which one host selects what everyone else reviews. Daryl is up first, and as such he is dragging everyone into the Madhouse! Gerald's reviewing Kemonozume and Clarissa's reviewing Kaiba. Meanwhile, Daryl himself speaks of the grand masterpiece that is Goku: Midnight Eye!
