Taking a look at the 'Powered Suit' sub-genre of mecha anime for the first time, Ian and Craig review Tatsunoko Production's seminal 1975 TV series Tekkaman - The Space Knight.

In the first part of a two part retrospective Ian and Craig delve into the world of the much renowned 80's powerhouse that is Super Beast Machine God Dancouga with reviews of the TV series, that gave animation legend Masami Obari his mecha design debut, and its sequel OVA Requiem for Victims.

For the third part of their Macross retrospective Ian & Craig review (with some trepidation they might add), the Macross 7 TV series and Encore OVA.

Go Nagai was a powerhouse of 70's Super Robot anime and in this episode Ian and Craig review his rather unique 1975 TV show Steel Jeeg.

Side stepping into the often over looked and easily dismissed Super Deformed sub-genre of Mecha anime, Ian and Craig take a look at the show that truly got the ball rolling with a review of the 1988 TV series Spirit Hero Wataru.

For 2021 Ian and Craig got their act together and are taking part in Mecha March! This is going to be a cross platform celebration of mecha anime under the umbrella of Retro Mecha Anime World with companion pieces on Retro Anime Podcast and Anime Heads Retro World. The theme for this year is OVAs and for this podcast it's the Class of 1987 with reviews of Relic Armor Legaciam, Demon Frontier Legend Le Deus and Good Morning Althea.
