SOTSM x OST Party: Interstella 5555

Pod pals Libby and Joseph generously entertained our proposal for a job tailor-made for The OST Party. They lend their critical ears to a survey of the musical merits accompanying the Daft Punk and Leiji Matsumoto anime collaboration Interstella 5555: The 5tory Of The 5ecret 5tar 5ystem, one of those uncommon cases where the film arrived after the soundtrack. Will this newly-formed podcasting supergroup ever find their way back to their home planet? Drop the needle and listen up to find out!

Show #102: This War Is Terrible, AAAGH! And Then The Ship Sinks

War changes a man, but not our enjoyment of some quality animation in anthology OAV The Cockpit.

A little extra credit study for Niall's Yoshiaki Kawajiri panel as we enjoy his contribution as well as the other works in this fine Leiji Matsumoto manga adaptation. Interesting from the standpoint of showing the lesser known work of so many creative talents but also in their divergent styles in storytelling, ranging from the poignant to the triumphant to the unabashedly maudlin, all providing intriguing alternative perspectives on a war that changed the world.

We're always excited to see the great man Matsumoto coming out with new material so we leapt upon this series with gusto. Clocking in at only six episodes we fairly flew through it and as a result were left with a yearning to see certain ideas expanded upon. It's still a fun little show which won't overstay its welcome by any means. Critical plot details will be divulged so if you plan on watching Ozma be sure to save this episode until after you're done!
