    Will You Be Able to Survive? (Finale)

    Unfortunately, due to increasing workloads, the pressures of real life, and 15 hour time difference, we have come to the difficult decision to end the podcast. While I know this was sudden, we ended up facing very few other realistic options. In this episode we discuss exactly why we had to end the show, as well as look back on some of our favorite shows and mechs while also talking about some of our plans that never came to fruition. Thank you to everyone who came along on this ride with us!  Our theme song is Street Dancing by Timecrawler 82.

    That's One Way to End a Season (Aldnoah Zero 2/4)

    We finish up the first season of Aldnoah.Zero, and wow that is an experience. We break down the developing relationships, this show's treatment of mental illness, and also try to unpack what the heck is going on in that ending and if Slaine is even a real character.  Our theme song is Street Dancing by Timecrawler 82.

    A-1 Anime Sauce (Aldnoah.Zero 1/4)

    This week we take on the relatively recent Aldnoah.Zero, and Ian naturally takes the opportunity to rant about the Fate franchise. We talk about Aldnoah's strengths (its fights) and its weaknesses (almost everything else), and we still come out the other side mostly enjoying it.

    Fighter Jet of the Gods (Macross Zero)

    We go back in time to the distant year of 1998 to discuss this prequel Macross OVA. We talk a lot about this series' use of CGI, its poorly organized plot, and its surprisingly interesting ramifications for the Macross franchise as a whole.  Our theme song is Street Dancing by Timecrawler 82.

    Shin Getter Getter G (Getter Robo Armageddon 2/2)

    We finish up Getter Robo Armageddon and are left feeling very lukewarm. We talk about the characters (eh), the wayward plot (eh), and the giant robot fights (yeah!!!!). Does anyone ever actually read these? I can never decide whether to use first or third person in the blurbs.  Our theme song is Street Dancing by Timecrawler 82.

    No Fuss All Apocalypse (Getter Robo Armageddon 1/2)

    Fresh off our background reading, we dive into the "standalone" OVA series, Getter Robo Armageddon! We talk through the references, art style, and Extremely Noticeable Director Change of the first half of this show. We also finally have a real, lengthy mech corner.  Our theme song is Street Dancing by Timecrawler 82.

    Shonen Has Changed (Getter Robo)

    We take on our second ever manga this week as we prepare to watch Getter Robo Armageddon. Go Nagai and Ken Ishikawa's classic Getter Robo series gives us a chance to talk about the ways shonen manga have changed over the years, the early days of super robot, and the ways we think about genre.  Our theme song is Street Dancing by Timecrawler 82.

    Extremely Uncomfortable Racial Politics (Atlantis: the Lost Empire)

    This week we take on our first ever piece of Western animation and Ian reveals that they know more about Disney than previously thought. A favorite from our childhood, we see if Disney's Atlantis holds up, has mechs, and also there's like a Confederate loyalist in this movie. We talk about stylistic differences between American and Japanese animation, storytelling, and influences. Finally, Ian goes on a prolonged rant about Disney's pathological aversion to risk.  Our theme song is Street Dancing by Timecrawler 82.
