AWO reviews obscure and niche anime like JoJo, hey in 2007 it was a niche manga to the west. Lately they've been reviewing classics like Outlaw Star. Remember when that was a staple of anime fandom? If you want to discover obscure classics or revisit bygone favorites, awo is a nice listen.

Been listening since college back in 08. Appreciate their candor and interest in both old and new anime.

Been listening to AWO for probably over a decade and I still look forward to each new episode every month. I always make sure to listen to the new episodes as they release to hear how the hosts handle current events that affect the anime community/industry. Daryl, Gerald, and Clarissa are really insightful hosts, and even when they are talking about a show that I haven’t watched or may never watch, I still get a lot out of their conversations. Thank you for the many years of podcasts!

I've been listening since 2009, and AWO never fails to impress. The hosts are a perfect balance of knowledgeable, engaged with their subject matter, and fun/funny to listen to. I can't speak highly enough of this one.

I’ve been a listener to this podcast since the beginning, and it’s only gotten better. This show is a real gem, with lots of insight into programming as well as a wealth of wonderful interviews. I highly recommend anyone into anime and anime fandom give this a listen.

Three real deal otaku who discuss anime old and new with passion and knowledge. From most of their episodes I always got the impression that their main mission was to present little known, or older anime in a way thats accessible. They also talk at length about the people who make anime, At the time it felt like no one was talking about directors outside of Miyazaki, they want to remind people anime isn’t made in a bubble. Good podcast

Daryl sounds like he hasn’t hit puberty yet, despite being 45 years old. Gerald sounds like a repressed homosexual and Clarissa is annoyingly dull. You’re better off hearing any other podcast that focuses on anime instead of politics.

You can’t find another anime podcast trio with the knowledge and chemistry they have even after all these years.

Top reviews about anime classics, hidden gems and occasionally mainstream. Very knowledgeable hosts with much experience.

I've been listening to these guys since 2006, and even wrote a review for them back in 2007. The show has fallen far indeed. They can't seem to keep their mouths shut about politics in this ANIME podcast. In the latest episode #204, it only took them 90 seconds into the episode to take stabs at Trump. I personally can't stand Trump, but that's not the point. This is an ANIME podcast. And you guys were one of the first ANIME podcasts. You simply must do better. You've been better. You can do so again. Or not, it's your choice.

I’ve been through so many other podcasts about anime that feature nothing but snide “nerds” who haven’t seen anything made before 2010 and are more annoying than enjoyable. I love this show and it’s nice to hear three different opinions plus a huge knowledge of all types of anime. Do I disagree with their opinions? (Especially Gerald?) Sometimes, sure. But most of the time they are right on and when they don’t like something, at least they explain why. Please keep going forever.

This is not a show to listen to if you’re skimming the top titles in the world but for people who are going deeper in the subculture. It’s not easy to find people who have been in the subculture as long as I have on any media so this is a nice podcast to relate with.

Gilles Poitras or anyone, maybe you would have an idea as to what the name of, I’m not sure if it’s a manga or anime, but it was about a pack of dogs or wolves that were ninja. Anyone who knows please tell me! I want to check it out again. I love anime!! I was first introduced to the Yu Yu Hakusho manga. Then from their it was whatever Toonami was showing!

Love the show but leave politics out of this. I listen to shows like this to get away from politics not to be reminded of everyone’s opinions.

I have been interested in anime since 1977 when I stumbled across a store running Space Battleship Yamato on one of its TV sets. I spend what most would reasonably consider too much money on anime and manga. The Anime World Order podcast is one of the most intelligent and entertaining programs out there.

I watch incredibly little anime and yet I've been listening religiously to this podcast almost since its inception. It has always been funny, insightful, and obsessively knowledgeable. Best of all it is never dull! Daryl, Clarissa, and Gerald remain the go-to trio of insanely dedicated, yet clever and entertaining anime podcasters. If they have a weakness it is only their inability to read and respond to a single email in under 30-minutes. But it's a small price to pay for such a great podcast.

I am always astounded by the level of knowledge of the hosts and the hilarious takes in which the deliver them. I’ve only been listening for the past couple of years, but in that time they’ve become my number one go-to for anime podcasts. Not to be missed!

The anime world order podcast is top tier. The banter is great. There is a near perfect balance of tastes and perspectives. punches are not pulled and it is refreshing. Insights on directors, key animators and general production staff. Also a real time record of anime’s availability and popularity over the 12+ years that the podcast has been around. I have grown to truly love this show.

I've watched over 500 animes most of them old school and I still don't understand half of the conversations, theses guys are hardcore. A bit elitiest, but that's okay.

While there is usually only one episode a month of this podcast, it is jam packed with excellent material. Listening is a joy from front to back. The hosts have been watching anime a long time, care about the anime that they watch, and take the time to dive deep in to their subjects. Reviews are thoughtful, interesting and fascinating. You may even learn a thing or two about anime history you didn't know - especially for younger audiences. My only criticism is that sometimes the two male hosts will go on for a long time and Clarissa will not get a word in edgewise. Could just be my imagination, but it seems she gets interrupted a lot and the lion's share of the broadcast time goes to Gerald and Daryl. In any case, I still love the podcast a lot and I am always looking forward to the next episode.

Wow this is a good 2hr podcast if u lisin to all episodes of this goodness

Just started listening in the last week. I'm a little behind but I decided to start from episode One. I'm learning about some shows and films I would never have heard of otherwise. I'm a relatively newer fan of anime, I've been watching it for about 2 or 3 years, but right now I'm up to my ears in shows that I'm watching and enjoying it. And glad I found a podcast that keeps me engaged while I'm at work and can't catch up on my shows. Keep up the great work guys. I'm looking forward to catching up.

This is the podcast that got me into podcasts. I really enjoy uncovering new (and old) gems with the distinctive cast. I'm appreciative that your show caters to us older fogies who just want to hear about UC Gundam and Go Nagai. If I could compose a love letter then I would, all of you are excellent. Your podcast is informative and you are very polite to listener emails and tweets. The only complaint that I have is that you don't update as frequently as I would like, but I know you all have busy lives outside of this audio series. I would write a billion words more, but I'm sure that that would be reitterating what I've been saying a thousand fold. Please do more reviews on older shows soon, I miss them! ‧˚₊*̥(* ⁰̷̴͈꒨⁰̷̴͈)‧˚₊*̥

The cast has a very interesting take on anime. They interact well together which makes for an interesting back and forth that will keep you invested for the whole episode whether the topic is your favorite or not. The missing star is due to their review of Tanya the evil. It sounded like a couple of important parts that make the "internal logic" of the story were missed. I liked this show specifically because it keeps sound logic. It definitely wasn't a "because anime" thing.

I think this Podcast is OK.

Anime World Order is one of the longest-running anime podcasts, and although they do not update as often as when they started 10+ years ago, they continue to be one of my favorite podcasts, anime or otherwise. Even with a once-a-month release schedule, they still put out more content than many weekly podcasts, as each episode contains in-depth discussion and reviews from each of the three hosts. I appreciate that each host has their own perspective, and they are not afraid of disagreeing with one another. This podcast is always an immediate listen for me when it shows up in my podcast feed.

And you used the lets news from Macross Plus ok you got a new subscriber as that's one of the best anime movies ever made.

Okay, so Maybe this isn't the only anime podcast, but it is the only one that has the potential to save the planet through the unprecidented power of anime nerd knowledge that the hosts posess. No other show is as deserving of your respect and patronage. I've been listening since year one and I have learned so much about anime and manga that I should probably drown myself for my own good. I fully support the new format of releasing shows unedited and more frequently. Never enough AWO.

Thank you for the amazing show. 7 years listening to every episode. Love you guys!!

Great podcast for anime watchers. They talk about a lot of hidden gems that you may not know about. Not just the mainstream stuff. They also talk about anime conventions and panels. Cool stuff. Give it a listen.

The AWO has two things that really seperate them from other podcasts. One is that they will go into great depths on the background, the production, and lots of other trivia with the shows they review. It makes me actually learn stuff! The other strength is the range of anime they suggest and talk about. Without them, I might not know the glory of Blaster Knuckle or truly appreciate the absurdity of Koike. Would it be nice if they regularly made shows at least once a month? Yeah, but at least thanks to their infrequent schedule I've managed to listen to the whole backlog. Kuddos AWO, you are an example for hardcore weebs everywhere.

Probably the best anime podcast in existence.

Okay

Really good stuff, style takes some getting used to.

One my favorite anime podcast. Intelligent and friendly. It walks away from the arrogant, pretentious and bitter attitude of other podcast.

Doctor who changed from just being for kids when Patrick Troughton changed into the Jon Pertwee doctor. It's talked about on the audio commentaries that dealing with Pertwee.

What can I say, I like to listen to total strangers talk about anime. It helps when they are as knowledgeable, likable, and entertaining as this guy, Daryssa Rathkolb or whatever his/her name is. Definitely the smartest anime podcast out there.

informative and funny,. I came in late to anime ( mid 90's Gundam Wing type) and to have a show like this that fills in the gaps for me on the older and rarer types of anime really helps. I just wouldn't have ever heard of 90% of the things they talk about that are huge to anime and putting it in context, but not things a "lite" fan like me would seek out. the things I have heard of they talk about they do an amazing job of giving context and a backstory to that really makes the animes more enjoyable

While this podcast may take more time between episodes than weekly podcasts, the quality of the ones they do release trumps the time in-between. I look forward to each release and quickly put it ahead of anything else in my cheque. Keep up the great work!

Just want to say I love the show I've started from episode 1 and I'm now on episode 53 I plan to listen to them all an I hope you guys continue make more shows and thank u for your wisdom

As a connoisseur of anime I was looking forward to this podcast, however after listening to an hour of awkward laughter and annoying moments I found it lacking in substance and not worth the time. It was nails across a chalk board.

Anime World Order is one of the reasons I got into podcasts and it is still one of my favorite to listen to. The hosts always bring to the tables interesting shows and views. Can't wait for the next episode.

I love this podcast! Keep up the work guys.

The best I can say for AWO is that if more review/topic focused podcasts followed their lead podcasting would be a better place. The basic reviews (when they get to them...) are great but the biggest draw for me is when the crew delves into the people behind the works. I've watched anime in some form or another for the better part of 25 years now and AWO has honestly gotten me interested in the individuals behind the shows I've loved so much over the years. Beyond that, the hosts are genuinely funny and it's great to hear about older/niche stuff. I highly recommend this show to anime fans both new and old.

Guys keep doing what your doing P.S Best podcast ever

Short Version: I enjoy the show so much that I gave them money. Long Version:This is a really great show. The hosts are all very knowledgable about anime and manga. They are very forceful in their opinions and are not shy about praising what they love or dumping on the things they hate. Between the three, they have a broad taste, but as an earlier review mentioned they are not big fans of moe (and who can blame them). There is a nice mix of reviews, guests, con reports and rants. I wish they posted more regularly, but I understand they got lives to lead (or video games to play).

What a great podcast! These guys (and girl) have never let me down when it comes to recommending anime and manga. They all are hilarious in their own way and each gives different and intelligent perspective on the topics they discuss. This is the best anime podcast I have found. If only they posted shows more regularly, then I would be completely satisfied. Other than that, if you decide to listen to this podcast you are in for a treat.

Insightful reviews from knowledgable hosts. Warning, do not listen if your tastes lie in Moe, loli or the like (but yaoi is ok cause clarissa is a fan). Otherwise good reviews for good anime and manga. They also manage to get really good guests from time to time as well as annual con coverage. They may turn some people off because it seems they don't like anything, but in their defense not much good comes out of the anime industry these days. So to review, if your not a moe pedo and like to learn about the classics of anime as well as get reviews from knowledgable ppl then you'll like this show.

Just started listening to this podcast a few days and I was very impressed. It covers a variety of anime I like and provides valuable insight on all of them. Also, the recommendations for specific anime is extremely helpful. I love the little details that AWO provides because I learn something new and I will go back and review the anime. This is a great podcast. BTW, love the rants that go on. Thanks.

I would highly recommend this podcast for any anime fan interested in furthering their education on “What is anime?” This podcast will not only point you in the direction of a plethora of anime titles to watch, but keep you informed and up to date on what is going on in the industry with “EXPERT” opinion. While at the same time keeping the show entertaining and very funny, some might call this “Fresh.” You’ll laugh, possible cry, but most importantly, you will become educated!
