We run down the myriad of announcements made at Gundam Conference 2026 SPRING in advance of Mobile Suit Gundam's 50th Anniversary in 2029! For starters, the short film, A boy with Gundam, touches our hearts but leaves Isaac wondering where the monoeyes have gone? Plus, we ponder whether SEED Freedom needs a sequel; should the MSG remaster really be a remake; what exactly does new "footage" mean for the Wing fans; and should we make a pilgrimage to Japan for Gundam Con 2027, the Tomino exhibit, the landmark, and the various festivals... on Gundam Day? There's also hololive x MSG... whatever hololive is? Tomino save us! 50th Anniversary news @ Gundam.info
For our last episode of Season 6 Part 1, we're taking a look at the 3 OVA releases for Heavy Metal L-Gaim. Released between 1986 and 1987, the first two offer recap specials of the TV series alongside original comedy shorts, while the third, Full Metal Soldier, is an original story set during the first half of the show, and it's a real treat if you enjoyed the series as much as we did. Then, we look back on Part 1 of our Tomino-thon with a bunch of fun rankings! We rank each of the 7 shows we reviewed this season, before counting down the craziest Tomino names, best theme songs, and greatest mech designs, as we used to do every year on Weekly Suit Gundam. It's a very fun, very silly episode, as we take stock of the journey so far before continuing on to the second half of our season this fall. Enjoy! We'll be going on a short summer break as we finish Part 2 of our Tomino-thon season – dubbed “The Tears of Time” – which will be premiering this fall for another round of exciting episodes, beginning with Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam!

The second half of Heavy Metal L-Gaim bucks the trend from Xabungle and Dunbine of Tomino shows that become messier down the home stretch, as this final set of episodes sees Daba Myroad step fully into his role as rebel leader, and the show itself tighten into a more focused, substantive experience. As we come to learn more about the truth of Oldna Posaydal and the fractured politics of Pentagonal World, a number of characters become deeper and richer, and the series reveals itself as something of a narrative and thematic precursor to Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam. With incredible animation, excellent writing, and more of Nagano Mamoru's outstanding mechanical designs, L-Gaim is a real triumph, and one of our favorite discoveries from this season's episodes. Enjoy! And come back next week for our mid-season finale, in which we wrap up Part 1 of our Tomino-Thon by discussing the L-Gaim OVAs, ranking our favorite ridiculous Tomino names, and more!

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, a prickly anime veteran named Tomino Yoshiyuki teamed up with a plucky young aniq`mator named Nagano Mamoru, and with a healthy dose of inspiration from an obscure international sci-fi hit called Star Wars, they made one of the most rad mecha anime of the 1980s: Heavy Metal L-Gaim! In these first 26 episodes, we enter Pentagona World and meet our hero, Daba Myroad, as he begins a resistance against Pentagona's mysterious ruler, Oldna Posaydal. Driven by outstanding and influential mech designs from Nagano and a fun, fleet-footed sense of storytelling, these episodes are perhaps Tomino at his breeziest, but also some of the most entertaining material we've watched all season. Enjoy, and come back next week as we finish L-Gaim with episodes 27 through 54, where the show transforms into something even better… Time Chart: Theme Song: 0:00:00 – 0:01:37 Intro and History: 0:01:37 – 1:22:44 Eyecatch Break: 1:22:44 – 1:23:29 L-Gaim Part 1 Review: 1:23:29 – 3:13:37 End Theme: 3:13:37 – 3:15:46 Subscribe to our YouTube channels!

The second installment of the Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway film trilogy is finally here, and it was absolutely worth the five-year wait. The Sorcery of Nymph Circe, based on the second novel of Tomino Yoshiyuki's Hathaway's Flash light novel series, is a more complicated, dense, and challenging film than its predecessor, but also one that dives deeper into its characters fractured psyches. And along the way, it presents some of the boldest and most immersive 3D mecha animation we've ever seen, building to a climax that is absolutely staggering in both aesthetic and emotional impact. We also discuss several pieces of recent Gundam news, including new projects announced for the worlds of Gundam Wing and Gundam SEED. Enjoy, and if you haven't already been listening to Japanimation Station this season, be sure to check-in for our Tomino-thon, where we're surveying all the works in the career of original Gundam creator Tomino Yoshiyuki!

The second half of Aura Battler Dunbine is one of the most fascinating and divisive stretches of Tomino Yoshiyuki's career. After a killer set of episodes following the deepening conflict in Byston Well, the series' action shifts to Upper Earth – our world – for the final cours, an increasingly brutal and bleak set of episodes that frustrates some viewers even as it invigorates others. That divide is seen between our two hosts on today's show, as Jonathan found the series overly repetitive and static down the home stretch, while Sean defends it as a potent story of wartime intransigence. Wherever one comes down, though, it's clear Dunbine is a series worth grappling with and talking about. It's utterly unique, stirringly directed, and if nothing else, it introduced us to a certain Bostonian named Todd Guinness – and you might want to stay through the end of the episode to hear more about him. Enjoy, and come back next week as we begin our adventures with Heavy Metal L-Gaim, covering episodes 1 through 26!

Grab your motorcycle, hop on the aura road, and cross between the sea and the shore to join us in Byston Well, where we'll be spending the next 2 weeks with Aura Battler Dunbine! One of Tomino's most audacious, ahead-of-its-time creations, Dunbine anticipates the popularity of the isekai genre decades later with the story of Show Zama, a young man from our earth who falls into the high fantasy setting of Byston Well, and becomes embroiled in warlord Drake Luft's bloody conquest. Reminiscent of many later fantasy-driven anime, but extremely different than all of them, Dunbine is absolutely one-of-a-kind, as proven by these first 19 episodes, which climax with one of the most virtuosic stretches of Tomino's career. Enjoy, and come back next week as we finish Aura Battler Dunbine with episodes 20 through 49!

The second half of Combat Mecha Xabungle – episodes 27 through 50 – plays like a second season, with the action moving to Planet Zola's snowy tundra, a new group of characters arriving on the scene in the form of the freedom-fighting Salt crew, and the kidnapping of the Iron Gear's captain, Elchi Cargo, leading to a new set of stakes for the series' second half. It doesn't all work, as Xabungle falls into some unfortunately repetitive patterns down the home stretch, blunting some of the great character work and world-building done in the first. But these episodes are not without their considerable high points, and if nothing else, the compilation movie – Xabungle Grafitti – is one of the weirder such films we've ever looked at. If the journey matters more than the destination, then Xabungle is definitely a journey we're happy to have taken. Enjoy, and come back next week as we cross through the aura road and enter the world of Byston Well with the first 19 episodes of Aura Battler Dunbine!

Beginning an historic, uninterrupted run of 5 back-to-back 50-episode anime series airing from 1982 to 1987, Combat Mecha Xabungle marks an exciting turning point in Tomino Yoshiyuki's career. After really giving his ‘Kill ‘em All' ethos a workout on Space Runaway Ideon, Tomino set himself a very different challenge with Xabungle: What if this could be a ‘Nobody Dies' show? The result is a vibrant mecha action comedy set in what is basically the wild west (albeit on the planet Zola), with a ragtag cast of vibrant characters battling their way through some of Tomino's richest and most intriguing world-building. In this week's conversation, we look at the history of the show and discuss the first 26 episodes, which we found to be absolutely delightful from top to bottom. Enjoy, and come back next week as we finish Xabungle with episodes 27-50 and the compilation movie, Xabungle Grafitti!

Many years before Anno Hideaki remade the ending to his audacious but unfinished sci-fi TV series with an avant-garde theatrical tour-de-force in The End of Evangelion, Tomino Yoshiyuki blazed the trail with The Ideon: Be Invoked, providing the full ending Space Runaway Ideon never got on television in spectacular (and spectacularly violent) fashion. Alongside its companion film, A Contact – which recaps the story of the TV series – Be Invoked completes the Ideon experience in the most purely Tomino ways imaginable, with incredibly intense action, an absolutely astonishing amount of bloodletting, and, in the end, a transcendental vision of collective human consciousness breaking free from these shackles we call bodies. It is one of the darkest, strangest, and most spectacularly produced anime films of all time, a crucial step not just in the career of Tomino Yoshiyuki, but in the history of Japanese animation itself. Enjoy, and come back next week for something completely different: Tomino's delightful Western mecha comedy Combat Mecha Xabungle!

It's finally time to discuss what is almost certainly Tomino's best-known and most widely renowned work outside the world of Gundam: 1980's Space Runaway Ideon, the 39-episode TV series that begins with a relatively similar premise to Mobile Suit Gundam – a ragtag crew of space colonists flee an invading army, with a mysterious and powerful mecha in tow – before quickly spinning into much stranger, darker, and more philosophical territory. In fact, Ideon might be something closer to a horror anime than a traditional mecha show. But however one defines it, Ideon is undoubtedly one of Tomino's finest hours, bold and brutal and artistically extraordinary at every turn. For today's show, we look specifically at the original TV series, which ends abruptly (albiet distinctively); on next week's episode, we'll look at the two films Tomino and Sunrise produced in 1981 to recap and ultimately finish the story. The Ideon is simply way too big to contain in a single episode. Enjoy, and come back next week for our review of The Ideon movies: A Contact and Be Invoked!

Considering Japanimation Station started its life in 2019 as Weekly Suit Gundam – which itself started with a six-part podcast miniseries following Sean and Jonathan discussing every aspect of the original Mobile Suit Gundam series from 1979 – it's safe to say we've already reviewed the legendary ‘First Gundam' on this show. So for today's episode, we're doing something a bit different to celebrate the most crucial turning point in the career of Tomino Yoshiyuki: Narrating the history of the series from its conception through the release of the Gundam movie trilogy, which heralded the dawn of a ‘New Anime Era.' It's our most scripted episode to date, as we share original research and writing on the creation and historical impact of Gundam, while also making space to discuss how we see the show itself in the light of our ongoing ‘Tomino-thon' project. Even if you've heard us talk about Gundam many times before, this is an episode you won't want to miss. Enjoy, and come back next week as we look at the original 39 episodes of 1980's Space Runaway Ideon!

“Exhilaration, humor, and pathos” – these are the three pillars Tomino Yoshiyuki outlined in a pre-production memo for the series that became 1978's Invincible Steel Man Daitarn 3. And the 40-episode show that followed very much fulfilled those goals, as this blend of super robot and Kamen Rider-style super hero action – also taking copious influence from the worlds of Star Wars and James Bond – is a fun and, in the end, surprisingly impactful series. It's also the show where Tomino drilled down and learned how to perfect an episodic TV formula, telling a different and distinct story every week. While it gets off to a slow start, Daitarn 3 gets better and better as it goes on, building to a finale that proves to be one of Tomino's finest directorial efforts, and which signals the full artistic flourishing of the man who would create Gundam. Enjoy, and come back next week as we arrive at the dawn of the new anime era: 1979's legendary Mobile Suit Gundam!

Our Tomino-thon reaches its first full review of the season with 1977's Invincible Super Man Zambot 3, the debut series from a newly independent Sunrise, and the first original show directed in full by Tomino Yoshiyuki. Combining fantastical, episodic ‘super robot' action with traces of the darker, more psychologically dense storytelling Tomino would eventually be known for, Zambot 3 also sees several members of the future Mobile Suit Gundam team working together for the first time, including character designer Yasuhiko Yoshikazu, mechanical designer Okawara Kunio (who drew the Bandok fortress, the series' most striking design), and musical composers Watanabe Takeo and Matsuyama Yuji. And it's the show that would, with its legendarily brutal finale, birth the legend of ‘Kill ‘em All' Tomino.

Our Tomino-thon kicks off with a history-focused episode exploring the origins of Tomino Yoshiyuki leading up to the creation of his first full original series, Zambot 3 (which we'll be reviewing next week). Where did this mad creative genius come from, and what was he up to in the years before he earned his ‘Kill ‘em all' moniker? This episode takes us from the political climate in Japan during Tomino's college years, to Tomino's time at Mushi Pro becoming one of the most prolific episode directors on Tezuka Osamu's Mighty Atom (aka Astro Boy), to his first directorial project, a (very loose) adaptation of Tezuka's Triton of the Sea manga. We explore how he became known as the anime industry's ‘wandering storyboard man' in the 1970s, and end with the creation of the studio that became Sunrise, Tomino's creative home for the bulk of his career. It's a very fun, extremely informative episode that lays the foundation for the season to come. Enjoy, and come back next week as we review Invincible Super Man Zambot 3, the show which first earned Tomino his ‘kill ‘em all' moniker!

In Today's Episode: Otaku Nate, Rayce, Patrick and Pixel all sit down and dive DEEP into Yoshiyuki Tomino's polarizing and somewhat maligned 1998 mecha anime that was DEFINITELY NOT inspired by Evangelion: Brain Powerd! Rayce has been bugging Nate to review this one for YEARS now ever since this podcast started to exist, and it has gained a cult following in recent years, but what does Nate have to say about it? Well, hold on to your brains because this one's a doozy! And also, we all miss Kirby Morrow.

In questa puntata Alessandro e Patrizia ripercorrono la vita e la carriera di Yoshiyuki Tomino, uno dei registi più influenti e controversi dell’animazione giapponese. Dalla sua infanzia segnata dai bombardamenti della Seconda Guerra Mondiale agli esordi alla Mushi Production di Tezuka, fino alla rivoluzione che portò nel 1979 con Mobile Suit Gundam, inventore del genere “Real Robot”. L'articolo Kill’em all Tomino: il padre di Gundam proviene da RadioAnimati.
Japanimation Station returns on March 15th, 2026 for its 6th season, and it's one listeners have been demanding for a long time: our Tomino-thon! Throughout 2026, we'll be peering into the delightfully deranged mind of Tomino Yoshiyuki, creator of Mobile Suit Gundam, which kicked off this entire podcast journey with our ‘Weekly Suit Gundam' series back in 2019. Now, we'll be returning to the world of Tomino with deep dives into every TV series and film he's ever directed. In this special preview episode, we outline the season's first half, “The New Anime Era,” in which we'll be analyzing each of Tomino's shows from 1977's Invincible Super Man Zambot 3 through 1984's Heavy Metal L-Gaim. Season 6 Part 1 will run for 12 episodes uninterrupted through May. After a summer break, we'll then return in the fall for a second half picking up with 1985's Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam. Will you be able to survive? Enjoy, and we hope to see you here for the season premiere on March 15th. Episodes will premiere on YouTube on Sundays at 6pm CT, and release on Mondays on podcast platforms everywhere. Subscribe to our YouTube channels!

Show Notes This week on Mobile Suit Breakdown, an important update about what's coming next for the podcast, plus Nina finally gets to sate her curiosity (and yours) about the origins of motocross, and the state of the sport in the 1990s. And don't miss the real explanation behind Victory Gundam's obsession with bikes and bike battleships: it's all Tomino's fault (kind of)! Show notes will accompany part 2 next week. Mobile Suit Breakdown is written, recorded, and produced within Lenapehoking, the ancestral and unceded homeland of the Lenape, or Delaware, people. Before European settlers forced them to move west, the Lenape lived in New York City, New Jersey, and portions of New York State, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Connecticut. Lenapehoking is still the homeland of the Lenape diaspora, which includes communities living in Oklahoma, Wisconsin, and Ontario. You can learn more about Lenapehoking, the Lenape people, and ongoing efforts to honor the relationship between the land and indigenous peoples by visiting the websites of the Delaware Tribe and the Manhattan-based Lenape Center. Listeners in the Americas and Oceania can learn more about the indigenous people of your area at https://native-land.ca/. We would like to thank The Lenape Center for guiding us in creating this living land acknowledgment.

Sometimes you do it for the boys. Sometimes you do it for the 'Gram. And sometimes? You do it For the Barrel. Today we discuss the designs of a Gundam AU that, I don't wanna tell tales outta school, but might possibly have been so badly written that its mechanical designer walked away in the middle of the project. It's a shame, because that designer was clearly one of the few parts of this project actually killing it. I think I forgot to say it on air- maybe I didn't? It feels kinda familiar? But this is a double request, from listeners muffinlord and Gaiseric! A big thank you to the Patreon creator Byston Well Stories, who can also be found on Bluesky, for your hard work translating For the Barrel and uploading scans of it, we really appreciate it! You should also check out their current work translating Tomino's Byston Well... stories. I guess it's all there in the name already. You can find a video version of this podcast for free on Scanline Media's Patreon! If you want to find us on Bluesky, Dylan is lowpolyrobot.bsky.social and Six is six.scanlinemedia.com. Our opening theme is the Hangar Theme from Gundam Breaker 3, and our ending theme for this episode is Resumption from Gundam Breaker 4.

Demon Slayer is back in theaters with its second original movie after the record-breaking success of 2020's Mugen Train, and the latest installment – Part I of the planned Infinity Castle trilogy, adapting the final arc of Gotouge Koyoharu's manga – is proving every bit as popular, breaking box office records in Japan and now in America. That's for good reason: Infinity Castle is an incredible film, depicting three major battles across its 155-minute runtime, and executing on all of it at the same insanely high level we've come to expect from ufotable over the years. This is a film with some of the most jaw-dropping animated spectacle you'll ever see in a theater, but as always, its heart is with the characters, their backstories, and their interiority, and this film's focus on the villain Akaza proves to be some of the most effective material in the life of the entire series. We talk about all of it and more, including the terrific vocal performances and killer soundtrack, as Kimetsu no Yaiba truly kicks off the beginning of the end. Enjoy! We will be back with more special one-off episodes soon, with our next major season – Tomino-thon – currently in the works behind the scenes! Subscribe to our YouTube channels!

Show Notes This week on MSB, we cover Victory Gundam episode 35 'Mother or Shahkti'. We can't even begin to guess what kind of impossible choice will be forced upon Uso! Plus - Flanders is there when you need him (somehow), Karlmann is so inured to weapons he doesn't mind becoming one, and Myra's impossibly good while Shahkti's just impossible. Then in the research, Thom thinks he knows precisely where Tomino found the name 'Zanscare'. Please listen to it!

Show Notes We're joined by special guest and friend of the show Sean, aka 'Flying Grizzly,' who helps us cover episode 32 of Victory Gundam, aka 'Doggorla's Violent Advance.' Sean offers bold takes on mechanical design and the ideal TV format for Tomino, Thom is surprised to learn that nerds listen to this show, and Nina gets everything she wants: clumsy mobile suits, a familiar voice actor, and the vindication of being right about everything all the time forever.

Show Notes This week we're talking about Victory Gundam's infamous episode 29 (which depicts Uso being assaulted in a bath by an adult woman) and then Nina's research takes us down a dark path to talk about the Holocaust, its influence on Victory, and the racism in Tomino's depictions of Jewish characters. There's also a new mobile suit, I guess. It's pretty cool. Please listen to it (with discretion)! Mobile Suit Breakdown is written, recorded, and produced within Lenapehoking, the ancestral and unceded homeland of the Lenape, or Delaware, people. Before European settlers forced them to move west, the Lenape lived in New York City, New Jersey, and portions of New York State, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Connecticut. Lenapehoking is still the homeland of the Lenape diaspora, which includes communities living in Oklahoma, Wisconsin, and Ontario. You can learn more about Lenapehoking, the Lenape people, and ongoing efforts to honor the relationship between the land and indigenous peoples by visiting the websites of the Delaware Tribe and the Manhattan-based Lenape Center. Listeners in the Americas and Oceania can learn more about the indigenous people of your area at https://native-land.ca/.

We give Tomino a third try this week, as we watch 1999's Turn-A Gundam. Is the third time the charm? I don't know! We also talk about the biggest robots, the most popular Gundam series in Japan, Haim, Licorice Pizza, and universal quantification. | Rate us nicely on Apple Podcasts | Support us on Patreon | Follow us on Twitter | Subscribe to us on YouTube | Join the fan Discord --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jjbpod/message
Is the Angel Halo the most wild weapon in all of Gundam? I certainly think in all of Tomino Gundam, where the competition is MOSTLY guns of various size. Well, and stuff like the Adzam Leader and such. Tomino does love to electrocute and microwave pilots, sometimes at the same time. Anyway, the Shy-Tarn is a Zanscare mobile suit that's neat but has nothing that special about it. You can find a video version of this podcast for free on Scanline Media's Patreon!

básicamente te explico lo que se puede encontrar en cuanto a los orígenes detrás del poema que me va a matar por haberlo recitado en voz alta: el infierno de Tomino.
hay un poema muy popular que pese a ser de principios del siglo XX sigue circulando por la red a día de hoy. pese a la advertencia de no hacerlo que siempre acompaña a sus versos, muchos siguen tentando a la suerte y lo recitan en voz alta, quizá en busca de ganar un poco de popularidad en la red. el poema es EL INFIERNO DE TOMINO.
On this weeks episode we look at an urban legend from Japan - Tomino's Hell, a cursed poem that promises misfortune (and maybe death!) to anyone who reads it aloud. Who would win in a fight? A cursed poem or Oisín??? Tune in and place your bets.Support the showTwitter: @ParanormalHLInstagram: paranormalhotlinePatreon: https://www.patreon.com/paranormalhotlineThank you for listening!

In our longest episode ever (because this show is so special) we tackle the first half of 1993's Mobile Suit Victory Gundam. We discuss Tomino's hatred of the show, rumors about his depression, how the tradition of biking was likely revived behind the scenes, Cronicle's Wal-Mart mask, and Maria's failed matriarchy led by a man. Plus, we rename all the characters so they have shorter, easier to pronounce names like Jack Hanna, Mr. Pibb, Zoloft, General Sugar, and Officer Phylo. P.S. I love you, Junko!

This week we revisit one of our most popular international true crime ep countries, Japan. Focusing on folklore and urban legends this time, we explore just a tiny amount of Japan's rich and very long history. Kelsey reads a small collection of popular folktales, with some of the variations slowly becoming more and more bizarre (be warned that a clam wife may pee clam juice in your bean soup). Then, Alanna shares a variety of urban legends popular with the more superstitious Japanese residents. From tunnels to computer pop-ups, to cursed poems and bathrooms, we've got you covered. Tune in for the lore, stay for the laughs (there are plenty this week). Thanks for listening and keep it cryptic!

Show 154 I would like to extend a heartfelt welcome to the influx of new listeners that have been directed to this glorious Podcast by way of Anime Jeopardy, courtesy of Kumoricon 2022. Also, as a disclaimer, this episode was recorded before the Twitter drama. We reference Twitter several times in this episode, so just keep that in mind. On with the show! This week's hosts: Laven - @LavenVoth Kenny - @sakoku_otaku Introduction AniBros Creative can be found at anibroscreative.com, and follow up on Twitter at @anibroscreative Laven is @LavenVoth Kenny is @sakoku_otaku Opening Banter “Boy-see” Kenny is a Salaryman and currently being a salaryman in Boise Good Patrick is a resident of Boise but Kenny failed to tell him he'd be coming into his town Kenny has seen a lot of potate-themed art Are we post-Pandemic? Life Protip: Delete more tweets than you send. RSS Check! Looks like we messed up! RIP Feedburner. Listen to us on Spotify! Otaku no Video Two-part OVA created by Gainax in 1991 Director: Takeshi Mori Written by: Toshio Okada Story of a college student, Kubo, who becomes an otaku after a chance encounter with an old classmate and friend, Tanaka. Autobiographical but stylized depiction of the history of General Products and Studio Gainax Features segments called ‘Portrait of an Otaku', live action interviews with otaku Discussion What new stuff stood out to us? Portrait of an Otaku hit harder now that we're the age of the folks that made this movie. They do get progressively more and more stupid. Garage Kits are made to be way more popular than they ever were. Otaku no Video remains a familiar and cozy show to return to. Kubo and Tanaka were definitely huffing fumes The Otakuland opening may be a reference to Tomino's New Anime Century speech The worst part of Otaku no Video is that they become capitalists -- but maybe that is a self-aware acknowledgement of the worst tendencies at Gainax. Highly recommended, definitely watch. The reason we have this podcast. Laven is looking for land to build his own Otakuland Syberpunk: Edgerunner 10 episodes series on Netflix Produced by TRIGGER for CD Projekt Red Director: Hiroyuki Imaishi Written by: Masahiko Otsuka, Yoshiki Usa Based on story by: Bartosz Sztybor (シテボル); Rafal Jaki Discussion “One of the best shows I've seen in awhile.” - Laven Fear going in: this is just a video game tie-in, how good could it really be? But! It is really good! Kenny and Laven fight over DARLING in the FUCKS again What's it about? David Martinez has a bad time: his school hates him, his classmates hate him, and his mom is killed in a car wreck. David becomes an Edgerunner -- a member of a crime team running jobs. He quickly spirals into the dark world of corporate warfare and cybernetic enhancements. Kenny's Take: Edgerunner is exactly what it felt like to watch anime in the 90s/00s/ This is what it was like to watch Ninja Scroll or Cyber City Oedo It has violence! It has sex! It has a complex story that is based on source material that isn't 100% present in the anime! Cyberpunk is based a TTRPG created in the 80s by Mike Pondsmith The sensory experience is dialed up to 11. This could only exist as an OVA -- in fact, it is an ONA! Cyberpunk is a love letter to the 80s OVA It is so refreshing to have a true sci-fi and cyberpunk anime again! When our generation is making decisions (after boomers are good, TY Knight Sabers), let's hope its all nostalgia like this. Who is your favorite character? Laven: Lucy, the main girl -- perfectly engineered for me to like her; Kenny: Maine and Dorio All the characters are really well done and given opportunities to bond witht he audience. Who at Trigger needs to always add the Rebecca-type character? And what is driving the perception that she's a loli? Really good world building. Do we want a sequel? Only if its a completely new story. Comfort viewing -- you can watch it slow or binge it ANIBROS STAMP OF APPROVAL So will we play Cyberpunk 2077? No. But if it goes on Sale for a steep enough discount, maybe. Want to watch anime and experience a cyberpunk adventure But wait, there's more! Trigun!? Laven had time to fit into a re-watch of Trigun. Jack reviewed Trigun on Episode # Still holds up! A secret sci-fi show A slow burn -- but worth that investment as it starts to unfold Why didn't Kenny like Trigun? He doesn't remember -- because of the dub? Because of the way its fans behaved? Maybe! What about the new Trigun? No. Cowboy Bebop Watching in Japanese Maybe if I watch it this time, it'll be different? The two goofballs muse about what they want to make on 3D printers. What!? Laven went to go see the Yokohama Gundam. The Odaiba Gundam is a trash gundam now. 1:1 scale RX 78-2 Available to see until Spring 2023 which is great because the borders to Japan are opening soon!

I'm certainly used to women being mistreated and misused in Gundam, but Ennil stings because it feels like there was no reason this had to happen! I'm not saying the show is great about gender or anything, but it isn't a Tomino show and you can tell! She could have had it all! Well. Not Toniya. The show is definitely too cishet-brained for THAT. But she could have had a lot, and for some reason she just doesn't get it.

WARNING: We allegedly truthfully read a real Japanese cursed poem during todays episode. The paranormal comedy podcast where we probe sweet little Tomino as they allegedly truthfully journey in to hell. But why? Or is this all some kind of twisted metaphor? Before that, Kev gives Granville the choice that Kev, never, had, because yes indeed folks, it is Moonwalkers birthday 2022. Will Moonwalker decide to be brave and read the Japanese curse out aloud, or will Moonwalker choose to take a shot instead? Is there even a choice at all? In this episode we cover what Mr Moonwalker would choose to say to the world of the living, if he were in the world of the deceased. We then move on to discover what would happen once this old Japanese cursed poem, originally written down on paper, was translated and released on to the internet. This one does leave us with some questions. For example, who even was Tomino? How severe is the curse? Does Kev want Moonwalker dead? All that and more on this week's file. For those interested, Granville's rules for this episode were as follows: If G didn't read the curse when given the choice, G had to do a shot If G was overconfident and did read the curse, G had to do shots for being overconfident (the choice segments would become shot segments) and the first shot was Tequila. After the tequila (if G was overconfident), G had to do 2 shots at every segment Either way, G was doing shots but his destiny was in his own hands That may be confusing so to summarise, G had to do a shot for being cautious or two shots for being too brave.

As we begun the probe, there was an introductory snippet of ‘Inside the Castle Walls' from Super Mario 64, composed by Koji Kondo. We love to throw in old, classic video game references and themes and this tune just felt right as we started our story. Maybe it's the association between Japan and Nintendo, who knows?
Cow Head (Gozu) and Tomino's Hell. Two very disturbing Japanese urban legends. Are they simply that, or are they something more? Something much more deadly? ----------------------- DISTROKID AFFILIATE LINK: https://distrokid.com/vip/seven/3128872 --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/billie-dean-shoemate-iii/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/billie-dean-shoemate-iii/support
