Fujiko Mine, Mine Fujiko. Teacher, resistance fighter,  consort, betrothed, spy, thief. Is she all of these things? Or none of  them? Just who is the Woman Named Fujiko Mine? A slippery question, but  Warui Deshou never turns down a challenge. Helmed creatively by  Sayo Yamamoto (whom you might know from a popular recent anime about  some ice skaters or something), Lupin III: The Woman Named Fujiko Mine  was created to celebrate the franchise’s 40th anniversary while also  taking it in a direction it was not particularly known for: more noir  and supremely sexy and confident in itself, not to mention it did not  focus on Lupin himself, but rather a character who had been ill defined  previously. With special guest Alexander Smit, join Warui Deshou  as we discuss topics raised within the show such as sexuality and gender  identity, and also the anime itself. Oh, and we also go off topic into  things such as bat nipples and cold ones in the shower

It’s been a long time coming. We recorded this show back  in August. We have no excuse…but better late than never! And, at least  this podcast is about an excellent anime, Leiji Matsumoto and Daft  Punk’s sci-fi masterpiece Interstella 5555. In this first part of  our Interstella show, we talk about what the thing is, how it came  together, our personal histories with it, and some high-level,  spoiler-free stuff we really really like about it. If you’ve never seen  this anime, we hope we can sell you on it, and if you have seen it, then  we hope you’ll hear about it ONE MORE TIME. Also: what is the  best scene in anime involving a shark? Who was the actress that inspired  Leiji Matsumoto’s iconic female character design? Did Shadon spoil  Harry Potter for you? Let us know.
