Welcome to Mechinations Flashback, a side project dedicated to spotlighting diverse voices within the greater mecha community. We by no means have the definitive “take” on anything we’ve covered and therefore want to reexamine past shows by talking with a variety of insightful critics and creators.

On our inaugural episode, Stephen Hero interviews Kimberley, aka “Bobo-is-tha-bomb,” a prolific fanfic writer and an active voice in the Gundam Wing community. Tune in to hear her reflect on the creative process, dunk on Heero’s fashion choices, and extol the melodrama that makes the After Colony timeline so compelling.
