OSMcast! & The Carbuncle Chronicle

Back in May of 2008 for our 5th episode of the OSMcast, we talked about the 2004 OVA Re: Cutie Honey from Hideaki Anno and pals. So for our 200th episode, we have decided to go back and do it again! And for a decent bit longer than last time. Thankfully since then Discotek and Media OCD continue to do the lord’s work, and we have an amazing new Blu-ray release to talk about. The anime finally has a kick ass release, and more people need to know about it. Only took 20ish years to do it!OSMnotesWhile at the moment there is no easy to way to find a handy dandy streaming service to watch Re: Cutie Honey, the Blu-Ray of it is absolutely amazing!Re: Cutie Honey, How to Buy:Buy on Blu-Rayon Amazonon Crunchyroll StorePlus, Time Cues:We start the OSMcast!ing – 00:00General Gabbing (200+ Episodes and 17 Years of Podcasting) – 00:35Re: Cutie Honey – 09:34Re: Cutie Honey, Sans Spoilers (Mostly) – 10:08Re: Cutie Honey, Full of Spoilers – 33:49Questions from Listeners Like You About Re: Cutie Honey – 0:49:58OSMs Out of OSM and Final Thoughts – 1:02:26We also have YouTube Channels!

Hello Adventurers! Earlier this year we took a trip out to St. Louis, Missouri to check out a most excellent Final Fantasy XIV fan convention: GATEway FATE 2.0! This was their second year and we had heard so many good things about its first year, we were really excited to try it out for ourselves. And we were not disappointed. But don’t take our word for it! Wait, no… Actually do take our word for it, but in audio form! This is a podcast, after all. Spoiler Levels: Larboard/Starboard Chicken Tenders with fries “are ready to fry!” This was just one of the many delicious food options that they had in their Last Stand food stall in the convention center. And yes, we do realize that we said both “delicious food options” and “in the convention center” within the same sentence! It was just one of the many things that really impressed us about this con. (Just wait till you hear us gush about the flooring!)OSMnotesGATEway FATE 2.0 was a lot of fun, and we are very much looking forward to GATEway FATE 3.0 on October17th-18th, 2026!

Hello Adventurers! Did you know that Final Fantasy XIV is the fourteenth mainline Final Fantasy game? It’s true! In fact there were a whole thirteen other games that came before it, if you can believe it. So for this episode, we are talking about the first three. But it’s been a minute since some of us (Basil) has played the first three games, and we needed some help. Some fresh eyes on these games, some eyes that really know how to grind out some gear. If you haven’t figured it out yet, our special guests for this episode are none other than Garrett and Kyle from Grinding Gear! Spoiler Levels: Chicken Fettuccine “Flat, thick pasta smothered in a rich cream sauce with tender slices of chicken thigh.” This food that offers bonuses to Critical Hit, Vitality, and Skill Speed was introduced in patch 5.4 Futures Rewritten during the Shadowbringers expansion and also included the Matoya’s Relict dungeon! You know, Matoya! From Final Fantasy (I)!OSMnotesOnce again we want to think Garrett and Kyle for joining us! Have you heard of them before? They’re on YouTube!

Hello Adventurers! Well, here we are again. There has been a brand new patch, and we are here to talk about it all! Well… at least a lot of it, anyroad. We cover some of the less spoiler-y parts of patch 7.3 The Promise of Tomorrow, before really digging into spoilers talking about the MSQ, dungeon, the trial, and more! That more includes a bunch of things that has just happened, but also things that are happening right now… But also in the future? This podcast contains multitudes, and we welcome you to come listen.Spoiler Levels: DAM! This rainbow energy beverage will allegedly bestow the drinker with metaphorical fangs to gnaw through any challenge and do their DAM-dest. Excessive consumption is ill-advised… But only if you haven’t filled yourself up with all that Patch 7.3 MSQ goodness! If it is the case that you have, you’re free and clear to listen away.

Hello Adventurers! Over these past couple of months, some of us have reignited with an old collectible card game flame (and some of us are brand new to it)! That flame of a card game is Magic: The Gathering, and we're playing it all thanks to it's latest expansion: Final Fantasy! All sixteen mainline games are represented, which includes the critically acclaimed MMORPG that this podcast is all about. So here is an episode all about it. We talk about what cards we like, what it was getting back into it, how well it works as a Final Fantasy thing that's also a Magic: the Gathering thing, and the perils of buying card games that are also collectible. Spoiler Levels: Food Token! 2 Colorless Mana, Tap, Sacrifice this artifact: You gain 3 life. Feel free to chow down on this episode that’s full of Magic: The Gathering and Final Fantasy, but pretty light on spoilers. OSMnotesIf you are interested into looking more Magic: The Gathering x Final Fantasy yourself, here’s a link to Magic’s website for it.

Another time, another place. That time? 1984. That place? The movies! Where a rock & roll fable was born, yet no one watched it at the time. In America, anyway. In Japan, someone saw it. A few someones. A few someones, that would go on to make some of the coolest anime and video games around. Now, in 2025? It’s the perfect time to go back to that another time, and another place. To go back to the 1984 cinematic cult classic, that is the theatrical film Streets of Fire. Or at least we did. You should too!OSMnotesSadly right now there is no easy to way to just find a handy dandy streaming service to watch Streets of Fire, but it’s around to buy digitally…or even physically!Streets of Fire, How to Watch and/or Buy:Stream on Devices that Streamon Amazon Video (Buy or Rent)on Apple TV (Buy or Rent)on Fandango At Home (Buy or Rent)Buy on Blu-Rayon Amazonon Shout!

Hello Adventurers! We hope that this 24 Hour Maintenance of Final Fantasy XIV is treating you well. To help pass the time as we while away the hours for the game to come back online, we have a new episode covering the little things in latest Patch Notes for 7.2: Seekers of Eternity. Not the MSQ or the Combat Job revisions, or even the new raids… But the little things. The things you might gloss over at first glace, but once you dog in for deeper dive… Things that could still be pretty important!Spoiler Levels: Roast Chicken! Roasted to crispy perfection, then flavored with garlic and a hint of lemon, a single scent of this dish is enough to make the mouth water.

Giant robots… What a concept! Who would have thought? Well, sure, lots of people have. In fact, we have talked about those great big ol’ hunks of metal in animation a few times on this podcast before! Now? This time is no different. Okay, maybe a little bit different. But that’s just the kind of show that Brave Bang Bravern! is. Different. Or maybe… Perhaps not so much? In any case, it sure was a show directed by the great Masami Obari and animated by the fine folks over at CygamesPictures. We also dig into the video games Suikoden I & 2 HD Remaster, the new Shonen Jump manga Star of Beethoven, and YouTube guy Mugiwara No Goofy.OSMnotesBrave Bang Bravern! is one helluva show, and you should go watch it!Brave Bang Bravern!

Well it only took us one hundred and ninety seven episodes, but we have finally done it! Our internet radio show has talked about actual radio. Kinda. We talked about an anime based off a manga that’s about actual radio. Er, well okay, not an actual radio station, it was a fictional one. But the anime is real! It’s called Wave, Listen to Me!, based off the manga by Hiroaki Samura. The anime was animated over at Sunrise, directed by Tatsuma Minamikawa. We also get into the anime Astro Note, the sudden reappearance of Ninja Gaiden games, and how One Piece is a good time.OSMnotesNow that you have listened to our song podcast, you may be asking yourself “Gosh, how can I check out this show and/or manga?” Do not worry!

Hello Adventurers! As Valentione’s Day has just passed us by, we thought now would be a great time to show some of the characters in Final Fantasy XIV some love. As it just so happens, GPOSERS had kicked off the month with a post on Bluesky that links to a FFXIV character Tiermaker. And thus, after recording for three or so hours… and many… many more hours of editing after the fact, we now present to you The Official Carbuncle Chronicle Character Rankings: From ARR to Endwalker. But also, we talk a little bit about what we are excited for in the upcoming patch of 7.2: Seekers of Eternity.Spoiler Levels: Archon Loaf! Baked with either fish or vegetable flour, this fluffy loaf of rye bread is?from a nutritional standpoint?wholesome indeed. OK, so rather than fish or vegetable flour, this no-less fluffy loaf of a podcast is baked with love (and hate) for the many great (and terrible) NPCs that form the backbone of the MMORPG we all enjoy! So spoilers will, in fact, be aplenty.OSMnotesThank you to GPOSERS for the great idea prompt for the podcast topic! But without further ado, here’s that final tier ranking image:But also, Time Cues! And just so you know, we end up going through the list alphabetically, so when you see a name listed in the cues that’s where we are in the ranking: Ahewann thru Zenos.00:00:00 – Intro and Three Things We Are Looking Forward to in Patch 7.2!00:11:26 – The Character Tier Rankings Begin00:16:46 – Setting the Rules00:17:14 – We Each Pick a Winner00:24:41 – Ahewann, and Other Characters that Start With the Letter A00:40:31 – Beq Lugg, and Beyond00:56:00 – Estinien!!!01:14:59 – Kai-Shirr???01:26:33– Moenbryda, Forever in Our Hearts01:39:39– Pipin, and His Most Glorious Hair01:53:10– Ysayle, and Wrapping up the RankingsMusic is this episode features tracks such as “Sanctuary’s Heart: Close in the Distance” (Remixed by DJ Mitsu the Beats), “The Aetherial Sea” (Composed by Masayoshi Soken, Arranged by Daiki Ishikawa), “Black and White” (Composed by Masayoshi Soken, Arranged by Yukiko Takada), “Pulse: A Long Fall” (Remixed by Takafumi Imamura), “estinien.mp4” (Remixed by Denmo McStronghuge), “Knowledge Never Sleeps” (Composed by Masayoshi Soken, Arranged by Yoshitaka Suzuki), “Magicked Skulls” (Composed by Masayoshi Soken), “Sultana Dreaming” (Composed by Masayoshi Soken), “Perfumed Eves” (Composed by Masayoshi Soken, Arranged by Daiki Ishikawa), “Your Answer” (Composed by Nobuo Uematsu, Arranged by Takafumi Imamura & Daiki Ishikawa), and “Pulse: Insatiable” (Remixed by Shoya Sunakawa).We also have YouTube Channels!

Hello Adventurers! And wait for it, no longer! Since we’ve gotten the vast majority of things one can do in the current patch that is 7.1: Crossroads, we figured now would be a great time to talk about it. But not only that, we also delve into some of things that we are looking forward coming to Final Fantasy XIV this year. (And in fact, after we recorded, we learned even more about what is coming soon since there has been a Live Letter all about 7.2: Seekers of Eternity!)Spoiler Levels: Popoto Chips! Thin slices of popoto, fried to a golden crisp and lightly salted to create the perfect snack. Just like this episode! Until we break out the spicy cheese sauce of spoilers.

It’s now the year 2025, so what better way to kick off a new year… Than to release an episode that we meant to record and release in 2023! If it helps, it’s about an anime that came out in 2020 that not enough people watched at the time. Including us! But we have now rectified that problem. As we have watched it, enjoyed it, and now are releasing a podcast it all about so you can hopefully enjoy it too!And that anime is Appare-Ranman! It’s a wild crazy racing romp across the United States of America, brought to you by the studio at P.A. Works and directed by Masakazu Hashimoto. We also get into the anime version of I’m in Love with the Villainess, the tabletop role-playing game Fabula Ultima, as well as the video game hit sensation Balatro.OSMnotesLike we mentioned on the podcast you can both watch the anime on Crunchyroll, as well buy it on Blu-ray (Amazon | Crunchyroll Store)!

You know that ye ole holiday tune, The Christmas Song? You probably do, only most people would know it more as the “Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire” song. Well, this podcast is kinda like that. Only it’s not chestnuts roasting, but spent mobile suit artillery shells. Still on a open fire, though! That’s right, in the spirit of the season, we are talking about Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket. It’s an anime OVA animated by Sunrise, directed by Fumihiko Takayama and written by Hiroyuki Yamaga. It’s a great six episode story all about the wonders of asshole children, secret giant robots, and the true spirit of Christmas. Kinda.OSMnotesHappy holidays! All of them.

Ah, Fall. For many, it is the time for crisp, cooler air, pumpkin spice lattes, and bundling up all warm and toasty while you watch the leaves change from the colors of green to the colors of autumn. But if you’re us? It’s all about families of assassins, yakuza, military complexes, bear cults, and devious pro wrestlers. Or perhaps intrigue, spy craft, and amorous rendezvous aplenty! Oh, and murder. Just lots and lots of murder. All kinds. But mostly the kind of murder that’s best served up by feet-knives.That’s right, this time on the OSMcast we are talking about the manga and anime that is Crying Freeman! The manga was written by Kazuo Koike and illustrated by Ryoichi Ikegami. The anime was adapted by Toei Animation and was directed by Higashi Shimizu and Ryunosuke Ono.OSMnotesCrying Freeman!
