Blue Mondays Episode 30: Chopped & Mid & Washed

Listen Later

We have come to the end of our ride on the trapar waves as Zigg & Aqua watch the classic 2005 mecha anime Psalms of Planets Eureka Seven, and discuss their thoughts and feelings on it as it celebrates its 20th birthday. Keep an eye out for this podcast between main installments of The GLORIO Chat – every two weeks or so – as we work our way through the show

This week it’s the fifth and final of our post-show bonus episodes as we discuss the conclusion of the reboot film trilogy in ‘Eureka: Eureka Seven Hi-Evolution’
