It's time to take a look at another Watanabe joint, as this week we watched 2014's Terror in Resonance, Episodes 1-3. You can skip to like 30 minutes in if you don't care about us reading emails. We also talk about Wet Hot American Summer, cicadas, Jolt Cola, Sigur Ros, 9/11, and The Olive Garden. Lots of 2000s era talk, eh?

Thanks to a Patreon supporter, we hop in a time machine to see a hugely popular show we missed in 2006, Code Geass. We also talk about the word "clump," Resident Evil VIIIage, Mexican-American films, "total war," and the meaning of "banzai."

Ep. 231 - Top GunBuster (GunBuster, Eps. 4-6) May 27, 2021

Show notes

[Minor spoilers for Neon Genesis Evangelion in this episode]

We also talk about the passing of Kentaro Miura, Voices of a Distant Star, Royal Space Force: The Wings of Honnêamise, and The Sizzler restaurant chain.

Ep. 229 - The Admirable Admiral (Gunbuster, Eps. 1-3) May 13, 2021

Show notes

Go to 33:20 to skip email readings.

Still on our retro anime streak, this episode is about the first three episodes of ur-Evangelion anime, Gunbuster! If you're an Evangelion fan you need to track this down. You can find it in OG-awful quality on YouTube, or look deeper for better versions. No idea why this was never released outside of Japan. We also talk about Darren Aronofsky, MUGEN, The Criterion Collection, Interstellar, and why ugly anime characters are mean.

Show notes

It's H.T. (high time) we talk about the *classic* 1998 TV anime, Trigun. We discuss episodes 1-3, with a few minor spoilers for later on in the show. We also talk about Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, Sanka Coffee, when musical group members go solo, Daisuke Gori again, and how to define what a gun is.

Ep. 227 - Project A-Know (Project A-Ko, Movie/Episode 1) Apr 28, 2021

Show notes

1986! We go way into the past to look at the classic, hand-drawn, totally irreverent anime film Project A-Ko. Available on RetroCrush, Amazon Video, YouTube, and probably other apps. If nothing else, check it out for the soundtrack. We also talk about air traffic controllers, the DBZ androids, the origins of anime tropes, the origins of videogame movies, Daisuke Gouri, and deer scares.

Ep. 226 - Clam Jam (If My Favorite Pop Idol Made It to the Budokan, I Would Die, Eps. 1-4) Apr 21, 2021

Show notes

We get a preview of future Jolyne Kujo VA, Ai Fairouz, as we watch OshiBudo (or, If My Favorite Pop Idol Made It to the Budokan, I Would Die). It is a sweet, but troubling show about die-hard pop idol fans. We also talk about Quentin Tarantino, Julius Caesar, My Life as Liz, time-traveling Daft Punk, and stand-up comic Maria Bamford.

The JoJo's Bizarre Pod gang gets back in their pilot seats (cockpits? dummy plugs? whatever Gundammers call it) as we sample three episodes of alternate-universe, real-robot anime, Mobile Fighter G Gundam.

We also talk about Kenny G songs, how time passes in space, Rod Serling, Demolition Man, Lau Chan from Virtua Fighter, and software on floppy disks.
