The cast of Akihabara Renditions will be visiting MomoCon this weekend in Georgia Tech Square in various capacities! Here are the following panels that you can find (some) of us in -
New Media/Podcasting in Anime Fandom: Drew is acting as a moderator for the discussion, so AkibaRen is sure to be mentioned. But this is about other podcasts and “new media”. (Saturday, 4 PM. Room 102)
XDR: Marc and Drew head up a ridiculous clip show. (Saturday, 11:30 PM. Room 101)
10 Years, 10 Anime – Japanese Animation 1980 – 1989: You know Drew loves the ’80s and its Japanese cartoons. Stop by to see what he considers some important and must-see anime year by year! (Sunday, 5:30 PM. Room 202)
When not giving presentations or assisting in general con business, we’ll also be promoting our ever more time consuming product, SeishunCon! Stop by and say hey, our table will be right near registration!
We’re back on schedule for our fourth annual Christmas Craptacular special! And we’ll probably only be on schedule for this episode. Especially after the debacle with last year’s Craptacular and not to mention the debacle that is, well, our recording/posting history for the year 2010, it doesn’t hurt to get one thing out on time.
Hosts: Drew Sutton, Richard Hoelsher and Marc Smazik.

We’d also like to take this time to preemptively wish our listeners a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year as we are all ready to bugger off for family, food and copious amounts of booze. Akihabara Renditions will be back shortly after the new year with the same resolution (to do better) for 2011!
Richard and Drew get together for a podcast where we talk about the 1986 OAV, California Crisis. California Crisis is a bit like Please Save My Earth in that in this episode, Drew couldn’t stand to go looking for screen shots or an audio clip. Richard and Drew just get right into it. In fact, this image was taken from the site Anime Classic Reviews, run by a really awesome fan, “Area88″. Be sure to check out the site and what treasures lie there – we guarantee you’ll see future reviews coming from that treasure trove of titles!

Not only did Drew take an inordinate amount of time to edit the episode, Space Battleship Yamato was a series that the Akihabara Renditions crew had been meaning to do since the inception of the podcast. Well, we finally got to it.

After our latest hiatus, the crew from AkibaRen returns with another fantastic podcast! On this episode, we tackle a review for a trilogy of films that are condensed from a longer TV series and manga. This episode was recorded earlier this year and Drew’s only just now gotten around to editing it.
