MetaVerse 00 – Two Kittens Rolling Off Each Other
So, I withheld some information… I was planning three things rather than only two.
Don’t you know to expect the unexpected? So, are you READY for MetaVerse?!
Okay, so we have been catching our regulars off-guard since… well, usually every time. And so this the last one for this season at least. Spring is already too busy so we don’t want you to be overwhelmed by content, now do we? What is all this, you ask? I finally decided to start a fortnightly podcast. As simple as that. We have been thinking quite hard on it for some time and even experimented with the DDD and Anivision; the feedback was always positive and there are things that can be only be spoken so hopefully it would be a nice addition for Metanorn to brainwash its readers obsess about the fandom we love.
This is not the actual first episode rather a pilot, which introduces the whole team and what we have been up to for some time. Also, a specific format that we would be following for the next episodes with some customization whenever needed. Currently, no buddy promos were added but that will be done from the next episode. Sound quality is not top-notch and there are some random background noises along with skype’s annoying notifications. However, hopefully next time we would take care of everything while recording.
This was recorded on 23rd of March, 2011, so it’s a bit outdated. At least three people played around editing this: Hato did some initial cropping, followed by Fosh for trimming most of the randomness and finally I played around too much while adding music and some funny jokes. Thanks to Ness for the awesome logo and working on my wishlist for cover; it is just <3! I’ll be producing this until we acquire a dedicated Sound Editor, so now you know why we have been looking for the new blood. Without any further ado, presenting our Pilot Episode:

POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
I’m glad you liked it, Namika-chan. Interesting to note, all our section names were up for the main title but MetaVerse just hit me one day and it got the majority votes.
We definitely had lots of fun recording and there will be many more. ^^

POWUH: Meta Team and The Mad Scientist with 5525 comments
This is why I’m thankful Metanorn has no rabid yuri fanboys. I AM IMMUNE TO BEING SHIPPED WITH SOMEONE!
lol if you write a fanfic, they’re gonna be forced to read it out loud sooner or later. Poor guys XD
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
Hey, I think amado loves yuri and he’s been quite a regular. Not to mention, NessxHime was so cuuuuuuuuuuute! :3
POWUH: Meta Team and The Mad Scientist with 5525 comments
lol okay, so ONE PERSON. Maybe 2, but they’re in hiding. Compared to the 100s of fujoshi ahaha.
We have the manly voice club and the moe voice club, it’s great XD
POWUH: 600-699 and Wingman with 655 comments

By the end of August I’ll try to get a new mic so it’s OK
Btw, I really spend around 5 minutes to make a header. It’s not that hard considering I’m not doing heavy editing XD

POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments

Oh my god! You guys are amazing!!! Wow. I start reading blogs after, what, two to three months, and BOOM! you guys come up with so many things. Met’Amour, and now MetaVerse…Simply breathtaking.
I hope to catch up soon! Now that the business of senior year has finished (and I’ve chosen my college, too!), I think I’ll get back on the anime train. 🙂
POWUH: Meta Team and The Mad Scientist with 5525 comments
Wow, thank you! It takes a lot of planning and work but it’s definitely worth it.
That’s great, welcome aboard the anime train again. :3

[…] you enjoying the time of ~Met'Amour~? Have you heard of MetaVerse […]
POWUH: iLurker with 1 comments
Hey there. Just decided to start listening today, and I thought you should know that the player and the two primary download links all go to Episode 1 instead of Episode 00. The Alternate Download Link is still good.
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
Hey oriana3k,
Thanks for pointing that out. I’ve fixed the links and it should work now. Also, glad to have you following us; I hope you enjoy our podcasts. ^^
