Fushigi Yuugi OVA 1: Running it Back
Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! This week we go back for more Fushigi Yugi. In our actual lives, it’s been Halloween and we talk about our adventures! In our first OVA, Tamahome gets sucked back into the book. Uh oh, and also the book is stolen. And 50 year have passed. Except that’s not true. And Tamahome is Nakago now, except that’s not true either. Yui becomes the priestess of Genbu somehow, I think that one IS true. And then…uh…we get a soft reset. Alright look, this is wild and borderline non-sense but we go get some comedy animations at the end so what else can you ask for??

The Pagemaster (BONUS)
Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! We’re close to wrapping up Fushigi Yugi so we thought we’d take a look at other media in the genre of kids trapped in books. That right, it’s Pagemaster time! And oh boy does this movie have some literary references to make. One might go so far as saying that’s all it’s doing, in fact. But hey, we also got some kinda ugly book friends voiced by famous actors along the way and maybe, just maybe, a young boy can gain the confidence to jump a sewage pipe on his bike. All thanks to the power of reading (probably).

Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! This week we thin out the cast. But first, Sarah and Joe try to come up with things to talk about. Joe is eagerly awaiting a vacation and has done little else in the meantime, while Sarah has dialed back some going out, but just a little. Then we talk about direct to DVD Disney movies for a while, as one does… Then in Fushigi Yugi, we get into some more relationship drama that leads us up the mountain, where we finally get back to the plot of getting the Shinzaho. We also learn that old geezers still got it. But none of this really matters because the important thing is that Keisuke and Tetsuya are making friends and having great adventures together. They’re great. Finally, we round out the episodes by saying goodbye to our, uh, dear friend. I guess…Oh yeah, and Yui summons Seiryuu.

The important thing is that we get to see Yui make jokes. Man, that’s so good. That should just be the show…but it isn’t. Then we get yet another reason Miaka and Tamahome can’t be together.

Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! Spoiler Alert: Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Legend of Korra, and the Avatar comic books. We get back into the swing of making bonus content with Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender. And this time with a guest. Welcome to the podcast, JP! We all like nostalgia movie sequels made years after the fact right? Tron Legacy, The Matrix 4, Jurassic world. It’s always a good move. Haven’t we all asked ourselves what Aang and the gang have been up to in their early 20s? Katara and Aang building republic city, Toph training some randos metal-bending, Sokka inventing a weird bike, and Zuko being the firelord or whatever. Just like we all pictured. The only thing we need now is a hot sixth guy who maybe holds the key to Aang’s heritage. That would be perfect, just as long as he isn’t secretly evil…
