Time for another journey through history with Prof. Stephen Hero, taking us from the post-Gurren Lagann Gainax all the way to the current day Studio TRIGGER. Along the way, hot takes abound with opinions of Kill La Kill, Space Patrol Luluco, Little Witch Academia, and more.

Thanks to @fretzl for our intro/outro music.

Here's the other half of our original pilot episodes covering Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket. Prescient references abound, including pmc sharing the new that the localization of Trails of Cold Steel III has been announced among others. Just don't let you hot dads get sopping wet. Thanks!

Stephen Hero and Ignis Madax both finished up FFVII Remake recently so they met up through the internet to hash out their thoughts on the remake as people who grew up with JRPGs in the late 90s/early 00s and have their own personal connections to the original game.

Spoilers: they liked it!

It's a blast from the past! After a brief interlude from present Mechinations, we present to your our pilot series that we never released. Originally recorded in early 2019, we covered War in the Pocket as our initial crack at podcasting. While we decided to start our pod with Gundam Wing, we think you'll still find plenty to enjoy in this discussion of the supremely good War in the Pocket OVA.

TTGL finally comes to an end and all-in-all the boys are real pleased about it, even though pmc and Stephen will be going to war over the merit of Rossiu in the near future.

Attention! We're approaching the end of TTGL and we would love to hear from you for our next pod covering the final episode and our post-mortem thoughts. Please tweet @MechinationsPod or write to us by e-mail ([email protected]) with your takes and questions for us.

The boys dive into the densest of content and escape the mind labyrinth, but not before pmc makes a deeply inappropriate comment Steven Universe reference and Stephen Hero makes a desperate stand to defend the honor of boats.

After 40 minutes of trying to get Nemesis off their backs, the boys travel through these turning point episodes marking the ending of the Rossiu arc and the commencement of the final stretch with the title cards coming off Simon. Takes abound and no one wants to answer pmc's question about the effect that two moons would have on the Earth.
