Sometimes you do it for the boys. Sometimes you do it for the 'Gram. And sometimes? You do it For the Barrel. Today we discuss the designs of a Gundam AU that, I don't wanna tell tales outta school, but might possibly have been so badly written that its mechanical designer walked away in the middle of the project. It's a shame, because that designer was clearly one of the few parts of this project actually killing it.

I think I forgot to say it on air- maybe I didn't? It feels kinda familiar? But this is a double request, from listeners muffinlord and Gaiseric! A big thank you to the Patreon creator Byston Well Stories, who can also be found on Bluesky, for your hard work translating For the Barrel and uploading scans of it, we really appreciate it! You should also check out their current work translating Tomino's Byston Well... stories. I guess it's all there in the name already.
