Kazuya Tsurumaki and his team decided to take a load off and create a truly remarkable OVA that remains a cult classic for a good reason! I promise it all makes sense when you watch the show!

    Show #14 - GURREN LAGANN

    Follow the Anime Field Guide! https://animefieldguide.carrd.co Email us! animefieldguide@gmail.com Gurren Lagann remains as one of the defining mecha of the 2000s and is still one of the smartest, "dumb" action-comedy anime! This is a non-stop rollercoaster with a fresh "spin" on a hero's journey to manhood wrapped in a love letter to all things giant and robot! For those who remained at Gainax after the departure of Hideaki Anno, Gurren Lagann represented a new start that would later launch their careers into a new frontier at Trigger.

  4. Show #13 - GHOST IN THE SHELL: STAND ALONE COMPLEX (season 1)

    Show #13 - GHOST IN THE SHELL: STAND ALONE COMPLEX (season 1)

    Follow the Anime Field Guide! https://animefieldguide.carrd.co Email us! animefieldguide@gmail.com Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex is a highly ambitious cyberpunk police drama series by Production I.G. and the full directorial debut of Kenji Kamiyama. And it is my favorite anime! What better way to celebrate my (second) first year of podcasting?! My review specifically concerns season 1 (2002) as this was originally produced to build up advance hype for Mamoru Oshii's follow-up film, Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence. But thanks to the popularity of Stand Alone Complex at home and overseas, Production I.G. greenlit a second season for 2004 that has enough of a staff shake-up that I will cover "Second G.I.G." in a later episode.

    Show #12 - SAMURAI TROOPERS / RONIN WARRIORS

    Follow the Anime Field Guide! https://animefieldguide.carrd.co Email us! animefieldguide@gmail.com The boys are back in town! Samurai Troopers is an era-defining bishonen classic of the late 80's, created and animated by the fine folks at Sunrise during the height of their popularity as a mecha anime studio. The English broadcast in the USA and abroad remains a nostalgic classic, and with the recent sequel seasons in 2026 I figured now is a good time to revisit the Troopers' first outing!
