MetaVerse Live! on October 4th
Watch the podcast live this Saturday @ 9pm eastern!
As we mentioned on Episode 48, our next episode will be done live! We’ll be streaming on YouTube, and you’ll be able to watch it right here at metanorn.net! October 4th @ 9PM Eastern is the time, and right before we get the show started, we’ll publish a post here on Metanorn with the video you can click on to watch. The expected cast may (or may not) look a bit like this:
(and maybe others? No promises on that…)
And because we’re streaming live, those of us that want to will be on webcam. So like it or not, you’ll be able to put a face to the avatars above. SPOILERS: Skylion looks A LOT like Shinobu. :p
Q&A
To give the show a bit of an interactive feel, we’d love to open the floor to you to ask us any questions during our live show. Questions can be about anime of any kind or subject, you can ask about Metanorn or get specific with questions for members of the team. You can get a jump start and ask in the comments section below now, and you can also ask us on YouTube during the show!
Fall ’14 Anime Impressions
The 1st ep for Terra Formars is already out, and this week will be the start of the Fall season of anime, which typically is one of the biggest all year. Of course, we’ll have many First Impressions posts coming out over the next couple of weeks, but those of us on the podcast will get a first crack at impressing on the many shows coming out before we go live. We expect to talk about Denki-gai no Honya-san, I Don’t Understand What My Husband is Saying, Amagi Brilliant Park, Gundam G no Reconguista, Selector Spread Wixoss, Garo, Donten ni Warau, Log Horizon 2, Magic Kaito 1412, and whatever else may be available to us prior to recording.
What if You Won’t Be Around to Watch?
YouTube archives live streams, so if you want you can check in on the video anytime afterwards. I don’t have any plans to release an audio-only version of this at the moment, but of course there are a number of ways to easily record and take the audio out and edit as usual.
Hope you’ll join us this weekend!

You just had to do it at the same time as the AAA podcast? Ugh, now I need to decide!!

They run a nice show and I’ve been friends with them for a while, so while I wouldn’t blame you whatever stream you choose, I’ll just ask kindly that you check in on us. Or if you have multiple devices, stream us on one and AAA on the other. 😉
If this thing goes ok and we do it again, I’ll probably adjust the time. I’d like for others to do this, but Saturday isn’t the best time for them.

Streaming two podcasts sounds super disorientating! But I can’t watch either one cause it is a holiday.

Anime Talk, an anime community on G+ is also doing a Live on Air thing, that I usually contribute to. I have two devices…..

Wow, you guys are taking one big step forward. More power to ya!
Questions:
1. People say an anime should’ve ended this way or that way because it didn’t sit well with them. If you were in control of an anime and had the privilege to manipulate it how you see fit, would you? And if so, how would you handle the story’s execution?
2. Everyone has a favorite theme. Like for instance, Fosh is into mecha, skylion is hopelessly dedicated to LOLis. If you looked back at the time when you first developed that interest, did you ever consider something else could’ve taken it’s place? Or would that have been too hard to believe?
3. About your favorite theme, exactly why is it your favorite? What lead you to it?
4. There are many worlds to choose from in anime. Which ones would you like to find yourself in?
5. Do you agree it’s pointless to go through with an adaptation of a manga that doesn’t yet have an ending or at least a spot for a cliffhanger after a crucial arc and force an anime-original ending on viewers who are fans of that manga which also results in hurting that series’ chances for a proper continuation? That it’s a safer bet to go with another that has a considerable amount of material and wait for the intended to generate more of its own?
6. Is it wise to put all of one’s faith in an upcoming series just because there are a few famous names attached? Author, voice actor, studio, writer or director?
7. For the bloggers who’ve been part of the team for more than a year, do you feel a huge difference between now and when you first joined? In other words, if you’ve found yourselves more at ease with writing?

Another question before things kick off officially. This one is to skylion.
8. Would you go into a severe withdrawal if there was an entire anime season of shows that didn’t have any LOLis?

Because I cannot be there: Who is skylions #1 LOLi?
POWUH: and LOLi Defender with 10998 comments
You need to ask another question as this one is fair obvious…
POWUH: Meta Team and Meta-Analyst with 3844 comments
Ah yes… Arikawa Hime. Forgot. 😛

Just to double-check IF I can wake up early, 9pm EST is 1am GMT right? Currently, EST is EDT due to daylight saving as per my knowledge.
POWUH: 1000-1099 and Pirate King with 1048 comments

I’m sure you’ll be able to tolerate a little insomnia. 😉
POWUH: and Athenaeum Châtelaine with 2212 comments
That sounds cool. I think that’s 8pm for me, so, awesome. 😀
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
Definitely join in the watch then. :3

Also, yeah, I think we change back to standard time in November this year, So we’ll be on EDT (or CDT in my case) for another month.
