Rob sits down with Mimms and try and make sense of Hideaki Anno's world famous series.

Gunnm – joka maailmalla tunnetaan myös nimellä Battle Angel Alita – on Yukito Kishiron postapokalyptiseen kyberpunk-maailmaan sijoittuva scifisarja, jossa muistinsa menettänyt kyborgi etsii paikkaansa maailmassa taivaskaupunki Salemin varjossa. Ajankohtaisina aiheina puhumme Yoshiharu Tsugen kuolemasta, kulttuurieroista piratismiin suhtautumisessa Japanin ja lännen välillä sekä siitä, miten Go for It, Nakamura! -sarjan tekijä Syundei kiusattiin sulkemaan X-tilinsä.

La supervivència de la llengua a les llibreries penja d'un fil mentre celebrem un Sant Jordi que amaga una realitat asfixiant per als creadors de casa nostra. Si creus que el manga en català està en el seu millor moment, espera't a les revelacions dels nostres convidats. En aquest episodi analitzem el moment actual del manga en català i la literatura catalana amb Lidia Castro i Ezequiel Peris (Catway), que destapen la crisi silenciosa que pateix el sector davant la pressió del castellà i l'allau de novetats que relega obres com El Llibre dels Haikus o Mandala de foc.. També comentem el retorn de Neon Genesis Evangelion en català al 3Cat, i el paper de la CCMA en la recuperació de clàssics. Al Tenkaichi Musical, Aida Deturck interpreta l'opening de La Rosa de Versalles en català.
What's this? ANOTHER Angel attack?? Not if the GrimLore Tavern has anything to say about it! Shouldering the burden in a hastily put together Daemon Engine...we mean Eva...is Toasty having the time of his unlife, and working in the background are Rey, Arcane Daddy, Grandmaster Rayne, and Gerald as they forge a Spear of Longinus to put the Angel down for good! In the meantime, enjoy a continuation of Rayne's tale concluding the original run of Neon Genesis Evangelion!
What if Brazil had its very own Roswell? In this deep-dive, we're taking on the Varginha Incident—the legendary 1996 UFO case that shook Brazil and the world with claims of extraterrestrial life, government cover-ups, and terrifying creature sightings. Eyewitnesses reported strange beings with red eyes, oily skin, and inhuman movements roaming the streets of Varginha, a small city in Minas Gerais. Soldiers and police were allegedly dispatched, strange craft were spotted in the skies, and the aftermath left many asking: was this a true alien encounter, or a case of mass hysteria mixed with military secrecy? In true Roanoke Gaming fashion, this video goes beyond surface-level storytelling. We'll break down the biology of the alleged creatures, exploring what adaptations could explain their alien physiology—from their reported sulfuric odor, to their crouched posture, to their shining eyes that seemed almost adapted to low-light environments. Could these beings have been extraterrestrial organisms surviving in Earth's atmosphere, or something else entirely? We'll connect these accounts with known science, speculative xenobiology, and even comparisons to famous depictions in film and animation, from The X-Files to District 9 to Neon Genesis Evangelion. But the lore doesn't stop there. The Varginha case spawned decades of conspiracy theories, whispers of military autopsies, hidden bodies, and government denials eerily similar to Roswell. We'll discuss the mythology surrounding UFO encounters in Latin America, how cultural beliefs shaped the story, and why the case continues to inspire documentaries, books, and animated adaptations to this day. Was this an actual alien visitation, a top-secret military mishap, or something stranger—an intersection of science, culture, and human imagination? Expect speculation, discussion, and connected ideas that link Varginha to broader UFO lore, alien abduction cases, and cryptid-like encounters across the globe. Whether you're into film analysis, speculative biology, or mysterious real-world events, this video brings it all together in a way only Roanoke Gaming can—combining science, lore, and storytelling into one captivating exploration. Join me as we piece together witness reports, official denials, and biological speculation to answer one question: did something truly otherworldly land in Brazil in 1996, or is this just another chapter in humanity's obsession with the unknown? Get ready, because this is not just another UFO story—this is the Varginha Incident, explained, dissected, and connected to science and pop culture like never before.

Voice actor JP Karliak (Morph in X-Men '97, Gargamel and Razamel in Smurfs) joins us for a fascinating discussion about how nerdy media shapes our understanding of identity, community, and civic participation. As founder of Queer Vox, a nonprofit supporting LGBTQIA+ voice actors, and co-founder of NerdsVote, which works to get nerds involved in democracy, JP brings a unique perspective on how superhero stories and geek culture can serve as gateways to uncomfortable but necessary conversations about representation and social change.Key Discussion Points:How voice actors can use their "notable nerd" status to mobilize fan communities toward civic engagementWhy nerddom inherently connects to empathy and understanding otherness, particularly through franchises like X-MenWhat authentic casting means for LGBTQIA+ characters beyond performative diversityWhy seeking only comfort in entertainment prevents engagement with different perspectivesThe essential role of discomfort in growth and understandingJP brings depth and nuance to these topics through his experience voicing Morph, a non-binary shapeshifter in X-Men '97, while sharing insights about the voice acting industry and the importance of authentic representation both in front of and behind the microphone.The conversation weaves through representation, activism, and the power of storytelling to create change, ultimately highlighting how superhero narratives can serve as modern mythology that helps us process and progress through today's most challenging social issues.Guest Bio:JP Karliak is a veteran voice actor whose characters span animation, gaming, and anime. Notable roles include Morph in X-Men '97, Gargamel and Razamel in Smurfs (2025), Boss Baby in Netflix series, and the Joker in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. In anime, he's known for voicing Kozo Fuyutsuki in Netflix's Neon Genesis Evangelion dub. His gaming credits include N. Tropy in Crash Bandicoot titles and Wolfgang in the Skylanders series. As founder of Queer Vox and co-founder of NerdsVote, JP actively works to create positive change in both the voiceover industry and civic engagement.Connect with JP:WebsiteInstagramQueer VoxNerdsVote**************************************************************************This episode is a production of Superhero Ethics, a The Ethical Panda Podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

Hello Adventurers! Did you know that Final Fantasy XIV is the fourteenth mainline Final Fantasy game? It's true! In fact there were a whole thirteen other games that came before it, if you can believe it. So for this episode, we are talking about the first three.

Spencer and Kevin dip back into the twisted finale of Neon Genesis Evangelion in this week's episode. After sampling some questionably flavored Mountain Dew (featuring notes of children's cough syrup and gummy worms), they unpack the deeply uncomfortable masterpiece that is The End of Evangelion. In a fitting farewell to this franchise, Kevin experiences the full mental assault of Anno's uncompromising vision. Meanwhile, Spencer attempts to explain why a movie where the protagonist makes some questionable choices in the opening scene and does basically nothing else somehow became a cornerstone of anime history. They wrestle with the film's relentless commitment to making viewers uneasy, from Shinji's catatonic breakdown to that infamous final scene that nobody can quite agree on the meaning of. Also, The Spleen may have sold some medbeds to the White House. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
For this month's LLBR, Joe and Tom reconvene to discuss episode 2 of Neon Genesis Evangelion ("The Beast").

Congratulations! We've made it to the controversial final two episodes of Evangelion. We finally see what the instrumentality project is, but do we understand it? Do we understand any of what we just watched? Also, let's take a glimpse at what if the whole series was just a goofy sitcom?
