Ultra Podcast Z 173 (Ani-May: Hot Takes) Conventions & Autographs, Dub vs. Sub, Western Anime, More!5/31/2022 Live Broadcast:
May 24, 2022 6:00 PM PDT Hosts: Manuel Photaku Description: Ultra Podcast Z closed out Ani-May with a look back on some of our controversial hot takes we've had in other focused episodes. That would've been the main focus of this episode if not for the fact that Nyaru bounced earlier on (to be fair we'd kind of forgotten) due to her having to check out the new Top Gun movie. We continued on with Photaku but our intro topic, upcoming and recent anime conventions, kind of got away from us. Also, the audio at the start of the episode is a bit shaky but it gets better and we plan to make sure it works out all better next time. ALSO, this episode was going to come out last week, before/during Fanime, but we decided to hold onto it since we weren't going to have many (if any) streams when we came back, so disregard all the parts about coming to Fanime. Anyway, there were a lot of hot takes here... We discussed Vic a lot, probably to the dismay of JD, Manuel discovered that voice actor autographs have gotten fairly expensive in recent years, and we covered all the hot topics like dub vs. sub and whether something has to be Japanese to be considered anime. So check it out and be sure to let us know your opinions on these topics in the comments below. We're skipping the last Tuesday in May (the 31st) but we will be back, with Nyaru, for the first Tuesday in June with a grasp on UPZ nonsense! As always, take care of yourselves and each other in these trying times and stay healthy and safe!

Ultra Podcast Z 172 (Ani-May: Anime Ships) Sonic The Hedgehog Pairings, Fav Anime Openings, More!5/22/2022 Live Broadcast:
May 17, 2022 6:00 PM PDT Hosts: Manuel Nyaru Description: Ultra Podcast Z had an interesting episode this time around complete with all sorts of sound issues. We actually lost the first five minutes or so of this show due to our sound not being on and not noticing it until we'd wrapped up some of our warm up topics AND when our audio was turned on we had more issues as Manuel was using the wrong mic and it wasn't caught until the next night's stream, so we apologize for all the audio nonsense in this one. Elsewhere we talked about some of the biggest, and our favorite, anime ships or pairings and went through a couple lists as well as noting some off the top of our head and from the chat. It was a bit of a narrow topic but it offered the chance to spin off into other things like Sonic The Hedgehog ship nonsense and accidentally discovering the "Shipping Wiki". We didn't really have a lot more to say after like thirty minutes and moved onto our other topic, some of our favorite anime openings which was a topic that took a few minutes to get going but when we DID we were rapid firing song titles and even singing along to the Cardcaptor Sakura theme so good time! Ani-May has been a little all over the place but that might be because there are a lot of anime conventions surrounding these shows and we're all a little frazzled. We plan to close out the month with a bang though so be sure to keep checking in! As always, take care of yourselves and each other in these trying times and stay healthy and safe!

Ultra Podcast Z 171 (Ani-May: Idol Anime) Offkai Recap 2.0, Love Live Invasion, Idol Anime, More!5/15/2022 Live Broadcast:
May 10, 2022 6:00 PM PDT Hosts: Manuel Nyaru Description: Ultra Podcast Z never really left but we've been without JD and Nyaru for a few weeks now. They were both back for this one which is the second episode of "Ani-May" and we tackled the topic of Idol Anime, which is something we'd actually talked about covering before Offkai Expo but it somehow got away from us in the scheduling. There's the usual nonsense at the beginning and we got into a Nyaru-specific version of Offkai Recap which was actually quite interesting in a behind-the-scenes way and we even talked a bit about Maid Day (which it was when we had this episode) before going into the topic proper. We talked about a lot of our favorites like Zombieland Saga, Kirarin Revolution, and AKB0048. We then talked about some of the big idol anime franchises like PriPara, IDOLM@STER, Love Live, and why no one like Aikatsu even though it's one of the best. We then covered a topic we hadn't visited in a while: What Love Live did to the idol scene at large in the US, especially when it comes to anime conventions. An interesting topic that we all had something to get off our chests and we circled back around to more idol anime recs (check out Wake Up Girls!) and more before we closed this one out. A nice continuation into Ani-May so be sure to watch the next two episodes in this special month! Also, Nyaru is stinky, that is all. As always, take care of yourselves and each other in these trying times and stay healthy and safe!

Ultra Podcast Z 170 (Ani-May w/ Badman & Dr. Wes) Offkai Expo Recap, Recent & Comfort Anime, More!5/7/2022 Live Broadcast:
May 3, 2022 6:00 PM PDT Hosts: Manuel Badman Dr. Wes Description: Ultra Podcast Z is launching "Ani-May" and this is an odd episode. We were originally going to have JD and Nyaru back on this one and neither would make it. Warren is once again hosting (hence the look) and Weston joined in as a last minute replacement for Nyaru. We came into this one thinking we'd have trouble filling in the Ani-May parts and only spend a bit of it talking about the couple topics we'd had down (Recent, Fav, and Comfort Anime as well as a recent J-List article that we found weird) and spend most of it brainstorming ideas for the rest of the month. We DID sort of do that at the end but we were more than capable of filling this episode with a lot of talk about Offkai Expo (we'll cover a bit more of that when Nyaru returns too!) and just going on and on about anime. A good episode that was a bit more structured than the last one and we hope that you all agree with us. There IS an amount of randomness here and there though, but would it be a UPZ episode if there wasn't? Also, check out that J-List article below and let us know if you've been pronouncing these anime correctly or not. Ani-May will continue right up until Fanime so be sure to keep an eye out for more as we continue down this month, and be sure to yell at Nyaru for bouncing on this one again! As always, take care of yourselves and each other in these trying times and stay healthy and safe!

April 26, 2022 6:00 PM PDT Hosts: Manuel Badman Hinacchi Description: Ultra Podcast Z is still here even though we took a break because of JD's move and then had to replace him for our special Episode 169. (It's practically the funny internet number!) We already had lined up Hinacchi for this episode and Warren joined us as the actual host, reusing our old "Shooting The Sh*t" layout, and we carried on with what turned out to be a very random episode. Nyaru couldn't show up because of the then-upcoming Offkai Expo, and Manuel was going as well, so this wasn't as structured as many other episodes even though we DID come into it with several topics we wanted to cover. Looking back on it though we did move through most of what we wanted to talk about, and every host managed to get a lot of discussion in, just that it kinda flowed everywhere with more of the STS type antics over the usual UPZ ones. We did talk all sorts of things though like softcore parody movies, accidentally eating bugs, and Hina's long-unseen VTuber. This was originally going to be edited down, and maybe even held back as a "lost episode", but we decided to release it as is mainly due to the fact that our streams have been very shaky recently due to everyone's schedules and all the events that are upcoming. Look forward to at least one more episode like this one as JD will still be out for at least one more episode and also look forward to a series of anime-themed episodes with "Ani-May"! Oh, and expect a recap from Offkai Expo (as well as Nyaru's return) soon! As always, take care of yourselves and each other in these trying times and stay healthy and safe!
