All the anime watched by Em and Jackson that isn't part of The Great Gundam Project, usually an entire season in an episode, with most episodes chosen by our listeners! Because sometimes you're so tired of mechs.
Abnormal Mapping is a monthly game club of Em and Jackson, talking primarily about old games with an eye to critiquing without nostalgia.
Novel Not New is a visual novel game club with a queer focus and a casual bent. Every month, join Jen Unkle, Six Dettmar, and Olivia Joseph for a critical and fun conversation about a new visual novel game. Our favorites will be dated, murders will be solved, lives will be lived, and all bad ends will be expunged from memory as we read our way through this most literary of video game genres. Novel is right in the name!
We eat our cinematic vegetables as we go deep into the past to dig out all the cool old movies that languish in our to-be-watched pile and talk about them one a fortnight!
Join Alison Autumn June (@alison_coffee) and Em Marko (@em_being) on a journey through the entire filmography of Studio Ghibli twice a week! We take questions, talk about Miyazaki’s love of all things aerial, and generally relax in the balm of some of the most delightful anime on earth. Take a break and join us!
Second Officer Slog is a monthly Star Trek book club celebrating the wild, sprawling, dubiously canon extended universe of our favorite TV sci-fi series so you don't have to! Life long Trek nerds M and Jackson dive into the minutia of treaties, techno-babble, and Bajoran independence starting from the DS9 novel relaunch and headed where no book club has gone before. Intended for people who've never cracked a single Trek book, we're talking about the best and worst that universe has to offer ...
Your Faves Would Never is a weekly podcast from Destiny and Em as they talk about what they've been doing to get by and get better in a world of shit. This is a chill conversation cast, one of those cute couple casts but cool because we are cool, about all the things we might have on our mind in any given week. Chill out, sit back, and consider that while YOUR faves might never, we will and do.

BORUT SAVSKI and MILAN KRISTL - "Analogična kompozicija" (Analogic Composition)
radioCona, http://www.cona.si/radio
Borut Savski in Milan Kristl O analogic?ni kompoziciji: Analogic?na kompozicija je osnova dramaturskega pristopa dveh avtorjev, ki je sicer improvizacija, vendar s predvidenim in predsestavljenim instrumentarijem. Razteza se med strukturo in de-strukturo - torej c?asovno: med trenutkom in konstruiranim (sestavljenim, zaporednim) c?asom. C?e je soc?asje (sinhronost) sodelovanja dveh avtorjev ena od osnov - torej: vzporejanje - je druga v razporejanju (v zaporedja) - v podrobnem je to ritmizir ...

We remember the basics of CQC one draw at a time as we go back to the long road of woe that is Metal Gear to play the strange PSP tactical spin-off Metal Gear Acid 2!

To be fair, so is BUSTAFELLOWS, which they write in all caps every time so I’m pretty sure I have to as well. It’s otome game time again here on Novel Not New, along with time fo…
Abnormal Mapping is here to talk about two Sonic games that were designed for the Game Gear and the first generation of dedicated handheld games and why they often were saddled with the reputations they would carry with them for decades to come.

A special mid-month Abnormal Mapping is summoned into the grail war!

Art is life is art is life. Sometimes you reflect the world around you in your work, but the world around you is influenced by work. Sometimes you gaze into your navel, and the navel gazes back. Sometimes you’re aware of all of this, but that doesn’t prevent you from not doing it. We all are just getting through, as best we can. Anyway, this movie’…
I bet it’s been Ages since you thought about this one, huh? Myst was an unlikely explosion of popularity, a strange point-and-click puzzler that surged to being the best selling game of all time. How do you follow a game like that up, with as unexpectedly huge as it became? Is it as simple as just finding more strange places to click around? And do…
We opened up our GBAs and DSes for a parade of classic Nintendo bangers as we talk about when video games were joyful and rhythm games were about learning actual ass rhythm.

We’re back with an infamous book written in part by Armin Shimerman about how he had wished DS9 had addressed the way people treat the Ferengi in Star Trek. Absolutely a thing someone should have done. Does this book manage to tackle it with courage and conviction? Well, yeah. Mostly. Does it manage to stick talking about the racism inherent in Sta…
Join us as we talk about what it means to grieve, the lack of black martial arts movies, and also Three Colors: Blue!

It's Teen Time again as the NNN crew heads to Edwards Island for a night on the beach. A momentary distraction with paranormal radio signals goes wrong, and suddenly we're dealing with ghosts and stuff. That sounds bad, right? No, trust me, it's vastly preferable to spending any more time with Ren. This Month's Game! Oxenfree Next Month's Game! Riv…
At last, we're here to tackle the second half of Trigun, and boy this is a weird one! Huh! These 13 episodes! What's up! What's up with all that! Weird! Huh!By Abnormal Mapping

All in all a fantastic discussion. The article we mention can be found here. Send us any email questions and comments about the movies we cover or movies …
We close out the year with a classic film about the grinning face of American evil which causes a bit of a split about its relative merits between the group. One might be able to guess along which lines it breaks, no prize for getting it right, but it’s fun to go through. Also, we give our top ten New To Us movies of 2021! See you next year, and re…
The end of the year of JRPGs ends with a game exploring the very limits of the genre and pushing into the modern conception of RPG meta text. Gone are the battles and dungeons, remaining are quests and levels and the question of what is it all for. Also, some really funky guys. So many cool, funky guys. Join us as we close the book on this strange …
Merry Christmas! This year we're joined by Olivia for our Christmas Special, now less Christmas Themed than ever! We're talking the 1998 Gainax anime adaptation of the classic manga, Kare Kano: His and Her Circumstances. It's a bumpy ride, but Yukino is so good she can anchor us all.By Abnormal Mapping
Some days you see a movie that you just agree with so much that you don’t have anything to say. You just point at the screen and go “Yeah, that’s it.” Today is just that movie. But we have plenty of other things to talk about besides, so we have a good time anyway. See you at the movies! Send us any email questions and comments about the movies we …
Another entry in the desperately underserved genre of roadtrip RPGs! What happens when you put three (maybe four, hard to tell) queers in a car on their way to slay an ancient evil? Well, unfortunately, you get the first game in Novel Not New's history that we decided not to finish. We've got a lot to say about this game, and it's not particularly …
We've finished Akira! Thank you to Rick for joining us for this incredible journey, it's been a great time and I'm glad we split it out like this. The comic truly deserved it.By Abnormal Mapping
Today we continue the secondary purpose of this podcast to get Jackson to watch horror movies as we talk about foundational slasher classic Peeping Tom.

What happens when you make a career out of pretending something exists, and then just as you're about to quit you find out it really does? Apparently you get real close to a gayst (a gay ghost), or least that's Madison's reaction in Heart of the Woods, a fantasy yuri VN. There are some definite things to like here, but we end up more middling on it…
It’s a nail-biting adventure this week as we talk about a movie so effortless it leaves us all blown away. You know, with nitroglycerin. Also, a bunch of other movies besides get watched, as Em is careening through a movie phase and has much to touch on. Send us any email questions and comments about the movies we cover or movies in general to abno…
We are joined again by Rick to continue our journey through Akira! Episode 50 ended up being a particularly short episode because not a lot of meaty stuff happens in this volume but it sure ends on some incredible panels to remind us just how good Otomo is at this shit.By Abnormal Mapping
Rushing this one out the door because of scheduling problems, it’s a new Abnormal Mapping! We played a game that has been on Em’s to do list for years, and we discover that sometimes digging into the past isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Also, the characters of Star Ocean? Discover that sometimes digging into the past isn’t all it’s cracked up to b…
OBS audio becomes the new norm as we enjoy the nightmare of modernity with Playtime. Also, Destiny watched too many movies, and Em finally crossed a big one off their bucket list.

We're joined by Rick again to read volume 2 of Akira! Less dense this time but we still have some truly incredible action scenes to read. Last time went long but this is the range you should expect the Akira episodes to be in. Quick check ins on fantastic manga.By Abnormal Mapping
You don't need an apocalypse for life to be miserable. Four Horsemen tackles the bigotry, hate, and oppression that immigrants face, all with a punk aesthetic and rebellious spirit. Unfortunately, our time with it left us frustrated with mechanical opaqueness, inconsistent theming, messages we couldn't agree with, and more. We're glad they tried, b…
Our audio troubles know no end in this very hurried second take of an episode that still manages to be pretty good! We watched a boatload of movies, talk about the quiet gender war happening in the production of women’s pictures, and many other things besides. Enjoy! Send us any email questions and comments about the movies we cover or movies in ge…
We are joind again by Austin Ramsay to talk about the second half of Gurren Lagann! We jump off from a show we didn't like much at all to talk about the limits of anime storytelling generally, the things we're looking for from these stories, and the way we approach stories in the problematised genre of shonen anime without just turning into joyless…
We’re joined by Scarlett for a stroll down memory lane, when Sony meant interesting games coming from Japanese developers. It wasn’t even that long ago! Revisiting Gravity Rush 2 a mere four years after its release, we remember the power of the Vita to fire our imagination, and the cold light of day that’s been first party development in the last h…
Today we are joined by Hannah to talk about Makoto Shinkai's Weathering With You, a fascinatingly awful movie about one of the nastiest little freaks anime has ever seen. And we're here to pour over every ideologically loaded second of it. It's truly wild.By Abnormal Mapping
The pinnacle of dad cinema! We tuck into a tidy time at the nearby saloon with Unforgiven’s fantastic shaggy dog story of three old men who are just the worst. We all wring our hangs about how poorly watched we are about westerns. We all watched a bunch of movies! Great times had by all. Send us any email questions and comments about the movies we …
We're joined by Red today to watch the recent cult classic to a tragically small cult made up of about fifteen of people I am friends with on twitter. It's Granbelm, the Mecha/Magical Girl show from a couple years ago, which turns out to be a delightful surprise!By Abnormal Mapping
We have a new worst movie! Much discussion is had about cultural comedy, the pressure of time, and what it means to revisit things as an adult. The episode is pretty good, sometimes it pays to lower the bar. *NOTE: Destiny’s on the wrong mic we know, also it’s late summer so it’s cricket city over here, apologies for the background friends Send us …
Blog Settings Add Post Clear All Drafts Review Scheduled Audio Today we’re joined again by Rick for a slightly different kind of Beach House. This year we’ve been trying to transition away from splitting up our series so much, hoping to eventually be covering most anime in one episode. So of course we immediately have two experiments diverging from…
We've solved murders before on this show. And we've certainly caused some. But can you DERAIL a murder investigation? This is the task set to us in Overboard, as we try to get away with the murder of our truly dreadful husband. But getting away with murder is easy. Doing it with no loose ends is the real trick. This Month's Game! Overboard Next Mon…
