Anime Explorations Episode 35: Macross II

This month, we’re covering the anime OVA that came out for the 10th anniversary of Macross, and was the first non-Robotech version of the Macross universe to reach the US, along with the Macross II tabletop RPG from Palladium Games. Before that, we get into the current situation ongoing with Visa & MasterCard blocking transactions for NSFW content due to pressure from a Far-Right-Wing Australian group.

Note: I’m trying a new recording platform with this episode, and I ran into some technical difficulties that carried over to my backup recording. Consequently, my audio is impacted, but not necessarily the audio from my guest and cohosts.

Anime Review: Betterman - Breaking it all Down

Betterman was an anime series I watched a fair amount of on TechTV back when TechTV was a thing and it showed anime, before it became the G4 network. At the time I hadn’t heard about GaoGaiGar, and I didn’t have any form of DVR (and never got around to programming the VCR to tape […]

Anime Review: Nadia - The Secret of Blue Water - Breaking it all Down

I’ve been making a *very* good pace at lopping resolutions off the list – after last month I was able to take care of beating Marvel’s Midnight Suns, this month I was able to finish watching Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water. Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water fits a place in Gainax’s trajectory as […]
