After a review programme to kick off 2014, MO5.COM Podcasts are tackling an even bigger project than video games taken from comics. We are looking at adaptations of Manga andAnimeThis is an area that is still too small to be defined and which we are trying to clear out with our member Yvan West Laurencefounder of the magazine Animelandco-author of the book Big Bang Anim' at Omaké Booksand a great collector who has lent many pieces to the association as part of the Game Story. It is accompanied by Olivier Fallaixwho succeeded him as editor-in-chief of Animeland, and by our member Douglas Alvesvideo game historian. The programme was exceptionally recorded at the home of Alexandre de MaKoToWorkShop using mobile Freepodwhich explains the slightly poorer sound quality, even if we were able to avoid the hubbub of the podcast 21.

The participants in this podcast are :

• Yvan West Laurencefounder of the magazine Animeland
• Olivier Fallaixformer editor-in-chief of the magazine Animeland
• Douglas Alvesvideo game historian
• Guillaume Verdineditorial manager of Mag which covers the latest in Retrogaming
• and Jean-Sébastien Brugalataka Captain Flam's

It would be laborious to give links to everything that was presented during this programme, but let's at least mention the unofficial adaptation ofAstro Boy alias Flash Boy (1981, also covered in n°37 from Forgotten in Playhistory), the microcomputer Bandai Gundam RX-78comparison Castlevania/Cagliostrothe famous Dragon Ball of the PC Engineand finally the dubious American version of a game Ranma ½ renamed for the occasion Street Combat.
