The Out-Cast: EP.12 – “What’s the Happs?” Special

What on earth is the Out-Cast?
Well, this was a series of podcasts I did back in 2010~2012 on videogames and videogame culture in Japan for an old website with a completely different crew.
I’m republishing them here on DecultureShock, but for anyone who is interested, the original website can be found here.

Macross F Nyan Cli Theatrical Screening

The following impressions come from SpeakerPODcast regular & Gubabablogger Richard.

I got to the theater twenty minutes early, hoping to get some Macross swag, but there was none. All the stickers and posters and movie programs were for Harry Potter. Feh.

While hanging out in the lobby, along with a few young geeks, a number of 40-ish men who were clearly old-school fans, and a whole lotta high school girls, I stood near the “Wings of Farewell” Ranka-as-Magical-Girl poster. Four high school girls walked up to it, cooing, “Kawaii!” And then they took pictures of it. I guess we now know what demographic that poster appeals to.

The theater was nearly full, but not completely. There were two empty seats behind me, and a few others scattered around. But it was a big theater (oddly, it was EXACTLY THE SAME theater where I saw Eva 1.0 a little bit more than three years ago. Funny).
