Mech Ado About Nothing

Much like Final Fantasy, the final episodes of Macross 7 feature: absurd boss designs, lots of crystals, and unresolved romances. We try to figure out exactly why Macross 7's last few episodes don't seem to be in a rush to wrap things up, talk about JRPGs, and look at how Macross 7 compares to the rest of the franchise, both in its predecessors and what follows. Also, Max pilots a Valkyrie again so everything is right with the world.

Macross 7 ends up in the desert this week, and we discuss exactly what that means. Gigil learns to rock, Jamming Birds does not learn to rock, and this set of episodes is a major let down all around.  We also take a brief moment to tackle what makes music really art and unsurprisingly reach no major conclusions.

Macross 7 hits a major turning point this week and we soak up the new tunes. We talk about the inevitability of Sound Force, where in the hell the relationships are going in this show, and also acknowledge the existence of literal devils in the Macross universe.

Macross 7 continues its journey through deep space, this time with real vampires! Millia reminds us she used to be an ace pilot, we try to figure out if Nekki actually got better, and we've really grown to love poor, sweet Gamlin. We also talk a little bit about our current quarantine plamo builds!

Come on everybody, it's Saturday night! And it will continue to be Saturday night every night until Fire Bomber comes up with a new song. We start our journey through Macross 7, and talk about the Jenius family, if Nekki Basara knows women exists, and whether or not giant robots should ever have lips.

We do our best to make sense of RahXephon's nonsensical ending and have some fun along the way. Dan's in the penalty box for choosing this show and and Ian gets steamed about the level of similarities between RahXephon and a certain other show. Also, if you watched this show because of our podcast, sorry.

RahXephon continues to stretch into eternity, and decides to rob a couple other anime classics to keep itself interesting. We complain about this show's characters, somehow simultaneously compare it to Studio Ghibli and Gunbuster, and end up enjoying a few episodes. There's also a mech in this one! Wild.

Experience deja vu with us as we watch the first nine episodes of RahXephon, also known as the poor man's Evangelion. We talk about how the mystery and conspiracy elements of the show land, but the high volume of characters and frequent structure changes don't. Then, we talk about deeply emotional non sequiturs, the one thing Ian knows about character design, and Final Fantasy XIII.

Ian and Dan have been way too busy to record RahXephon. So enjoy another filler episode where Dan rambles on about his Gundam Base Tokyo visit!

Build Fighters comes to an end and we send it off with lavish praise. We talk about shonen anime tropes, how many dead people show up in this show, and Ian talks for like two straight minutes about the Kampfer Amazing, So, basically, what you would expect.
