    Macross II

    This month, we're covering the anime OVA that came out for the 10th anniversary of Macross, and was the first non-Robotech version of the Macross universe to reach the US, along with the Macross II tabletop RPG from Palladium Games. Before that, we get into the current situation ongoing with Visa & MasterCard blocking transactions for NSFW content due to pressure from a Far-Right-Wing Australian group. Note: I'm trying a new recording platform with this episode, and I ran into some technical difficulties that carried over to my backup recording. Consequently, my audio is impacted, but not necessarily the audio from my guest and cohosts. Next month, we watch Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo, which is currently available for streaming on Crunchyroll. Blaine can be found on the Babylon 5 30 Years Later Podcast (https://shows.acast.com/babylon-5-30-years-later), and the 99 Years 100 Films Podcast (https://shows.acast.com/99-years-100-films) Relevant Articles on the Visa/Mastercard Protest Campaign: https://www.wired.com/story/steam-itchio-are-pulling-porn-games-censorship/ https://www.eurogamer.net/itchio-deindexes-all-nsfw-games-blames-same-anti-porn-group-that-campaigned-against-steam https://aftermath.site/waypoint-quit-steam-vice https://fast.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2022-11-16/pixiv-announces-transaction-restrictions-for-unethical-content/.191953 https://fast.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2024-11-05/manga-library-z-digital-manga-service-shuts-down-on-november-26/.217539 https://automaton-media.com/en/news/nier-creator-speaks-out-against-payment-processors-pressuring-japanese-adult-content-platforms/ https://www.polygon.com/steam-paypal-issues-censorship-visa-mastercard/ https://yellat.money/ https://stop-paypros.neocities.org/ If you have comments on the podcast or on next month's anime, please send them to animeexplorationspod@gmail.com Opening: Donut by Anozira Bandcamp Link: https://anoziramusic.bandcamp.com/track/donut Used with permission Subscribe to the Podcast: https://feeds.libsyn.com/444780/rss Please support my Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/countzeroor Buy me a coffee at Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/countzero Watch my Live-Streams on http://twitch.tv/countzeroor Watch my Let's Plays at https://www.youtube.com/@CountZeroOrPlays Chapters: 00:00:00 Start 00:00:05 Opening 00:03:04 News 00:04:10 Payment Processor FusterCluck 00:23:52 Macross II Discussion
