Plot
As the festival starts in the Town of the Gray Wolves it seems that everyone has an agenda. Victorique is desperately trying to uncover the truth behind her mother’s exile. Kazuya is trying to protect Victorique from the dangers that hide in the shadows. The other guests in the town have their own secretive plans. And the townspeople are downright peculiar. What is everyone’s true goals? Are they willing to resort to murder to make sure the truth remains buried?
After listening to the podcast about the Tokyo Youth Ordinance, we realized there was even more to be discussed and there will continue to be more to be talked about for many moons to come. In some ways I feel like a crazy fear-monger but at the same time I worry lots of fans don’t think this bill will impact them. But despite any of that, I personally am very worried about it and it’s not going away so I just have more questions. Always more.
Heck, right after the podcast was recorded we already had a slew of new points of conversation. We were sill debating various points of the bill and what we think they mean. Now that Bill 156 has been passed everyone is waiting to see what exactly the ramification will be. How much is the bill is just a dog and pony show to make international critics happy? How much is this going to used as tool to beat certain unpopular groups and artists in submission? How many of those are groups that the bill was supposedly designed to regulate? How much of an immediate economic and creative impact with the bill have on anime, manga, and video game industries? How much will of an impact will it have down the line? Everyone watching the bill has an opinion on what will happen but until the first round of enforcement takes place it is all speculation. Lets dig a little deeper until we have some answers.
Anime 3000 presents The Speakeasy Podcast
Crime Scene Investigations #001: Genericon 2011
This is the first bonus segment of the Speakeasy Podcast we like to call Crime Scene Investigations. These are random bonus podcasts that we record live from various events. There is no regular schedule for these. We will put them up as quickly as we can when the opportunity for one of these occurs. We suspect they will mostly be from conventions but we might work in some interviews and conversation from NY events as fate allows.
Theoretically, this is a podcast were we talk about our experiences at Genericon 2011 with Clarissa, Daryl, and Gerald of Anime World Order. Theoretically. In practice, this is more of an conversation about conventions in which Genericon comes up once or twice. Evan from the Ani-Gamers tries his to do his job as Genericon PR coordinator but soon all semblance of structure gives way and the conversation just becomes about Kevin Sorbo, red neck Mandalorians, and the grooming habits of Gamestop employees.
