Guest Spot: Anime Roundtable v2.0 #11

The folks at the Anime Roundtable Podcast (Mike Nicolas, Kevin Ng, with James Austin) were nice enough to have me on as a guest at one of their live recordings at Anime North 2019. Also featuring an appearance from Anime North's Assistant Head of Programming, the inimitable Norm McEvoy. (I say this after having tried to imitate him.)

Episode 56 - Cat's Eye: The Anime Inspector Gadget


Not to be confused with the Margaret Atwood novel, Cat's Eye (or "Signé Cat's Eyes") aired in French on Radio-Canada in the late 80s and early 90s, and oh boy did it stick out like a sore thumb on that line-up. Chris joins me once again to share his own experiences watching the show. Dawn from the Anime Nostalgia Podcast also appears to give her own perspective on how well this show really holds up. We touch on many important points such as Club Dorothée, the connections to Nicky Larson (sometimes referred to as "City Hunter") and what it must be like to discover classic anime through Citypop and Vaporwave videos as opposed to just being old.
