It's the first of two Ideon movies this week, as Ian gets to introduce Dan to his favorite super robot. At first glance, this is a recognizable 80s robot anime, but under the surface this show is completely deranged and as a result it rules. We talk Koichi Sugiyama's questionable politics, Legally Distinct From Amuro Ray, and extradimensional power-based ultraviolence.

 Our theme song is Street Dancing by Timecrawler 82. You can reach us at [email protected], our website is mechado.moe, and our Twitter account is @mechadopodcast.
