That Anime Show

Yes, its that time again, boils and ghouls! See what I did there? Instead of boys and girls, I said boils and ghouls. Seemed rather fitting being that this is our Halloween Edition for 2012.

What should you look forward to?

The return of a fan favorite, homages to classic films, the most random of randomness That Anime Show has EVER DONE. And that’s saying something.

Guests include: Josh Grelle, Caitlin Glass, Bryan Massey, Tia Ballard, Mike McFarland, Zach & Steve of The Unofficial One Piece Podcast, Ryan Reynolds, and Joel McDonald!

What are you waiting for? LISTEN!

If, let’s say, as a college student, the voice of Vegeta asks you to jump into the booth
to voice a character with one line, you should probably do it. That’s what Ian Sinclair
did, and look at him now. He is, as they say, making paper. They try to give him
money, but he keeps insisting on paper.

Recently announced as Chuck in Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt, a few of Ian’s
most popular roles are Ryner Lute in Legend of the Legendary Heroes, Bardroy in
Black Butler, Romano in Hetalia, and Shu in Princess Jellyfish. Previously, his voice
had a talent for showing up as characters in three categories: The Good, The Bad,
and The Buddy. They are as follows:

The Goodies: Toraji in Bamboo Blade, Liam in Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, and
that’s all.

The Baddies: Dallas in Baccano, Bora in Fairy Tail, Ian in One Piece, Shogo in Rin:
Daughters of Mnemosyne, Zaki in Claymore, Toyama in Oh! Edo Rocket, Haruki in
Master of Martial Hearts, Douglas and Steve in El Cazador de la Bruja, Shiro in
Okami-san, and Nakajima in Linebarrels of Iron, amongst others.

The Buddies: Daisuke Matsuo in Yamada’s First Time, Marc in Spice and Wolf II, Seo
in Sekirei, Ginei Morioka in Rosario + Vampire, Hasegawa in Baka and Test, Takamy
in Fractale, and Akoz in Casshern Sins.

Please do not allow his multitude of Baddies to make you think he is, in fact, a
Baddie. Of course, those are words only a Baddie would say, but whether or not you
believe him is completely your decision.

Additionally, Ian can be heard as the voice of Baron Flynt in the video game
Borderlands (also a Baddie, btw), and as the “Cool” custom hero voice in Dragon
Ball Z: Ultimate Tenkaichi. Ian has worked as a director on Initial D, Spice and Wolf
II, both seasons of Black Butler, and a few others he can’t talk about… yet. Insert evil
laugher here.

Ryan’s big break came when she was given the chance to voice Latvia in a little show called Hetalia – Axis Powers. Since then she has voiced such characters as Amarty in the second season of Spice & Wolf, the younger version of Gray Fullbuster in Fairy Tail, Rin Nakai in Heaven’s Lost Property Forte, Kazuya in Okamisan & Her Seven Companions, and Yoshiko Mikami in Baka & Test: Summon the Beasts. Along with voice acting, Ryan also works as a Graphic Designer for a very reputable ad agency in Dallas and she recently earned a degree in Theater from Northwestern State University.

Despite being a professional writer, Apphia Yu struggles with writing biographies for herself. It might be because she doesn’t like writing about herself in third person. Here’s a list of things she DOES like: kendo, sunsets, and eating free samples of food. As head of sakevisual, she wrote and produced the visual novels RE: Alistair++, Jisei, Kansei, and Ripples. Her voice credits include Laki in Fairy Tail, Mikuni in Shangri La, Gumogumo in Sgt. Frog, and that one kid who showed up for three frames in Black Butler. You should go listen to them
