We just got back from MTAC Dueling Dragons in Nashville, Tennessee and there we decided to try something different while we were there: A live panel! Look, all of the other podcasts are doing it, so we decided to jump off a bridge too. But don’t worry, we jumped onto some dragons. Some, theoretically, anime dragons. One could even say we drafted these dragons. Into a dragon draft. Look, it’s all right there in the episode title, really.Protip: This episode was recorded live from the panel at the con. The audio is decently listenable though! Kinda.OSMnotesDid you like the episode? If you did and were there, or liked the audio version… Let MTAC know! Here is a link to their survey for this year: https://forms.gle/47TwTCkCNZGJPyU86Also, it probably would be a good idea to post some images of the various dragons from the panel! Also… One Piece? Yeah, let’s go ahead and drop those here:We also have YouTube Channels now! Both for OSMcast proper and The Carbuncle Chronicle! Please subscribe, hit the bell, and share

Hello Gentlepeople! We here at The Manderville Minute have been covering the amazing work of Manderville Family in all facets of Ul’dah life, and this time we have decided to tackle the most gentlemanly of gentlemen: Hildibrand Helidor Maximillian Manderville. He is a Manderville Man that can only do what a Manderville can, as he travels the realm as a self-titled “agent of enquiry, inspector extraordinaire” alongside his assistant, Nashu Mhakaracca. Now wait just a gosh darn moment… No, what do you mean this about an MMORPG called Final Fantasy XIV? No, this is an audio recording all about one of our great Thanalan heroes! Perish the thought that this could be about some mere game.Spoiler Levels: Truffles à la Manderville! This is a sweet and fluffy episode. We do talk about all sorts of the events that you can find in the various Hildibrand Adventures in Final Fantasy XIV, up to and including the events and trial in Patch 6.55. While we don’t get into too much MSQ talk… If you want to go into Hildibrand com

Hello Adventurers! Now that we are solidly in the true “Wait Till Dawntrail” part of our Final Fantasy XIV life cycle, we thought it was best to look back to what we just got to play through. And that is Final Fantasy XIV Patch 6.55: Growing Light – Part 2! Not only did we get our true onramp storyline-wise leading into the upcoming expansion, but we also got a bunch of capstones to a lot of side content. From Hildebrand blasting off again, to seeing how our allied tribe quests sorted out, we are talking about it all. Yes, even the part about the cheese. Spoiler Levels: Very Hot, like Spicy Stellar Soup hot! This is a very hot and savory episode. We namedrop Endwalker Extremes from the get-go, we talk about stuff that happened in Stormblood, and how everything is leading into Dawntrail. This is for those that are either very current players, or really don’t care about spoilers.OSMnotesHope you all enjoyed the episode! Here’s a couple of useful links based off some of the things we talked about in this episode

Hello Adventurers! Welcome to the Year of Our Yoshi-p Twenty Twenty Four. It's going to be an exciting year, this 2024! Not only it's the Lunar Year of the Dragon, it's ALSO the year of the next Final Fantasy XIV expansion: Dawntrail! And earlier in January we got a whole bunch of announcements made at the 2024 Final Fantasy XIV Fan Festival in Tokyo, Japan. From the final CG teaser trailer, to Pictomancer, to hrothgals lion ladies, and even [REDACATED], if it was in the keynote, we are here to talk into microphones about them.Spoiler Levels: Hot! We may say it's medium to hot in the episode, but let's be honest. If you don't care all that much about spoilers, they are medium. If you do care, they are hot. Maybe not Blazin' Knock Your Butt Off... But you'll probably will want to wrap up the latest stuff in Endwalker before you hit play.OSMnotesThanks to Tobias for continuing to pitch hit edit the podcast for Anna, it has been a life saver. Since we almost just go in order of the keynote, we don't really have

When knowing is half the battle, your battle half for this podcast is that it’s a big ol’ humdinger. John got the chance to talk to one of the greats: Neil Ross. It’s hard to be more prolific than Neil. He was the voice of Shipwreck in the original GI Joe cartoons. The voice of Kieth in the original Voltron from 1984s. He was the voice of the Biff Tannen Museum Narrator in Back to the Future Part II. He was the voice the Green Goblin in the 1994 Spider-Man: The Animated Series. He was the voice of Mayor Domino in Final Fantasy VII Remake. He was the voice of, okay we could just keep going but then we’d never get to the interview. He has been in a lot. He also happens to now be the author of Vocal Recall A Life in Radio and Voiceovers, a book you should absolutely read.OSMnotesWe want to thank Neil once again for taking the time to chat with us! And you can find all the places where Neil is by checking out him online (and to buy his book!) at:His website: https://www.neilross.com/His book, Vocal Recall A Life

It’s a brand-new year, and we’re kicking of 2024 with a look back on 2023. In video games. If you want other media mediums, sorry but you’ll have to settle this time. Because aside from a tabletop game in Dylan’s list, that’s all we got this time. I’m sure anime and other things will be talked about in future episodes. Just not this one. But this one? This one’s for the Gamers™.Protip: Also, this episode is barely edited. And I do mean barely!OSMnotesHope you enjoyed this episode! If you were expecting Time Cues, sorry! Like mentioned previously, this episode was only barely edited so we could get it out in a remotely timely manner. Huh, what’s that? Something about how we are supposed to have an Anime Secret Santa episode or two out before Christmas? So why are we worried about being timely? Weird. Must be hearing things. Anyway, here are everyone’s personal top games as you follow along:BasilSuper Mario WonderThe Legend of Zelda: Tears of the KingdomFinal Fantasy XVIBaldur’s Gate 3Dredge & Hi-Fi RushKev

Hello Adventurers! As the year of our Yoshi-p 2023 comes to an end, we thought it would be good idea to talk about the patch that we've all been playing as the year closes out: 6.5 Growing Light - Part 1. And to join us in these talks, we had the excellent fortune to bring on Mippa to help us break it all down. (And if you need yet more Mippa, and you assuredly do, we actually had an interview with her not too long ago.) From the latest storyline reveals, to the shores of Aloalo Island, the depths of the Lunar Subterrane, and the hidden mysteries of Thalia, we leave no stone unturned as we dig into all the good stuff Final Fantasy XIV has to offer us right now.Spoiler Levels: Extremely High! It's the latest patch! All of it that's fit to print! We're talking about it! And then some! You are warned.OSMnotesThanks to Mippa for joining us on the podcast! It was a super fun conversation, and we can't wait to have her on again. And if you want to follow more of Mippa's adventures in Eorzea and beyond, don't forget

Finally, John got me. Me as in Basil (the one that writes all of these). He has finally made another true OSMcast? by returning to the Ken Akamatsu well. If you recall, we have actually done an OSMcast? on Itsudatte My Santa! before. And while I refuse to double check anything that reminds of having to watch it ever again, I do remember this: That when I said I had only watched episode one John said that was fine, episode two was worse and that we only were covering the first episode anyway. And thus, he played his trap card. Three years later, he has sprung it upon on us all. So here, have that podcast. OSMnotesSo yeah, once again, that was sure an episode! Have some Time Cues:We start the OSMcast!ing – 00:00General Gabbing – 00:36Moments of OSM – 02:43Miasma Chronicles – 03:04Airplanes, Trains, and Automobiles – 05:36G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero – 07:08Istudatte My Santa! Only It’s Episode 2 This TimeItsudatte My Santa! Episode 2, Full of Spoilers (It’s fine you should never watch this show anyway even if

Just time for the holidays, we here at the OSMcast have a couple of presents for you! First up, a brand new OSMinterview! This time, John chats it up with Kira Vincent-Davis. She has done a bunch of roles over the years, like Lucy/Nyu in Elfen Lied, or Ayumu Kasuga in Azumanga Daioh, or hey maybe Najica Hiiragi in Najica Blitz Tactics. But real OSMcast listeners should remember her best as the Queen of karuta, Shinobu Wakamiya in Chihayafuru.OSMnotesBig thanks to Kira once again for taking the time to chat with us!We also have YouTube Channels now!

Hello Adventurers! The next Final Fantasy XIV expansion, Dawntrail, is arriving next year but this past October during the 2023 London FanFest we got yet more details about it. And perhaps the biggest news (that’s not the new Viper job) was the announcement of the next alliance raid series being in collaboration with Final Fantasy XI. You know, the other Final Fantasy MMO! We need a FFXI expert. Someone who has been in the trenches, really seen some stuff. So, to talk about this we recruited a longtime friend of both The Carbuncle Chronicle and the OSMcast!, Cevian, who was more than up to the task to tell us all about it.OSMnotesOnce again, we want to thank Tobias for stepping up and editing the episode. And did you know that his other FFXIV x One Piece podcast released an episode this week as well. Well, you do now! It’s actually much heavier on the One Piece this time, so one might think of our episode doing it’s due diligence to make sure the FFXIV side is properly represented. And thanks once again to Ce

Hello Adventures! With the advent of Dawntrail (the new expansion) on the horizon, and the current post patch cycle winding down, we thought it would be a nice time to talk about one of the new things Endwalker (the current expansion) introduced into Final Fantasy XIV: The Variant and the Criterion Dungeons. These are brand new types of battle-style content that kind does their own thing, and they’re pretty dang fun! And you can get cool stuff for doing them! But since they are optional things, maybe you haven’t done them yet? If not, let us take this chance to talk to you about why we think you should. And if you have already tried them out uh, well… listen to us anyway! You’re already here, why stop now. Spoiler Levels: Pretty Low! Ignoring that you kinda have to have cleared the main chunk of Endwalker just to get to the post-patches where these dungeons show up, we don’t really delve too deep into any spoilers talking about them.OSMnotesHave you tried the new Variant dungeons? Did you dip a toe into Crite

So sometimes things are an OSMcast!, and sometimes they are an OSMcast? Where one is unqualified awesome, and everyone should watch it. The other, maybe not so much but we wanted to talk about it anyway. And sometimes, we’ll start thinking it was an OSMcast? and it turns that no… This is an OSMcast! only it just has a lot of super mega dope ass violence. And that’s Genocyber, a 1994 anime OAV series by Artmic & Artland adapting the manga series by Tony Takezaki. OSMnotesMan, as the guy (this is Basil by the way, the guy that writes all of these posts that no one reads) that normally has to cat heard episodes? I really appreciate John taking the time to put these episodes together. Even if after he records an episode thinking it should get a question mark, I instead decide that it gets the exclamation point as benefits the subject matter. Also, a hearty welcome to Abby for getting roped into this whole podcast shindig. You’re doing great. And of course, Kevin is there holding things down from the OSMcast C

Why hello there! You may be wondering, “Are they ever going to release a normal standard plain good ol’ fashioned OSMcast! episode?” Well today is your day!! That’s right, we are here to talk about anime, tv shows, games maybe? But mostly about the first season of Satelight’s Symphogear! It’s a cool anime for cool people about punching weird alien blobs real hard, but also with the power of song. You know, normal standard plain good ol’ fashioned anime stuff for a normal standard plain good ol’ fashioned OSMcast! episode. As you do. It's also kinda a lot. Don't worry we'll talk about it. OSMnotesNow, was this our Anime Secret Santa pick from 2022? Yes. Did we also say that this episode should have be out around MTAC… Which was during Easter weekend? Also yes. Should anyone worry about that? Nah no way don’t worry about it, it’s all good. Just uh… go watch some Symphogear. But while you are loading up the next episode on Crunchyroll or the blu-ray disc from Discotek…We also have YouTube Channels now! Both for 

So previously we Aimed for the Top with interviewing the voice of Noriko, but this time we are interviewing the voice of Kazumi Amano in Gunbuster: Melissa Sternenberg! Where she outs herself as a huge nerd. Which is good, because this is kind of the podcast for that sort of thing. We chat about LARPing, Freakazoid, Animaniacs, 90s anime, all sorts of things. Like, what makes a great dub? Also, a great dub: Gunbuster. And as one would expect, the critically acclaimed MMPRPG Final Fantasy XIV.OSMnotesWe want to thank Melissa once again for taking the time to chat with us! And you can find all the places where Melissa is by checking out her online at:Twitter: https://twitter.com/mippa/Tumblr (if you want primo FFXIV tumbled content): https://framboisezakuro.tumblr.com/We also have YouTube Channels now!
