Episode 103 – DieBuster

diebuster

Elliot Page from UK Anime Network and Philip from Eeeper’s Choice join Brian to discuss a show that is both an actual sequel to Gunbuster and a sort of sequel to FLCL. That show is the 2004-2006 OAV series from Gainax, Aim For The Top 2 aka Diebuster aka Gunbuster 2.

Anthony forgot when we were going to be recording this episode, and so is not on it.

That means no Weekly Retro Recap this week, but Elliot and Philip do play a game of SAME UNIVERSE, DIFFERENT STORY.

Episode 95 – Kino’s Journey

Ebbie aka BizarreJelly5 joins us today to talk about her favourite TV show of all time, Kino’s Journey. Brian and Anthony have never seen it before, so find out how they react to this tale of a girl and her talking motorcycle.

Brian has heard of another show with a talking motorcycle, so we also talk a little about the failed pilot Heat Vision & Jack.

Plus he tests Anthony & Ebbie’s knowledge of bikers in popular culture in the game BIKER TROVE.

All this and R.O.D. the TV makes its debut as the Weekly Retro Recap. Rev your engines dear listener, for it’s another tearaway episode of the show they call DITB.

Episode 84 – Dead Leaves

Leon Everett and Lewis Smith join us for the first of two episodes. This week we talk about the 2004 Hiroyuki Imaishi film DEAD LEAVES. And for some reason, Sucker Punch will get talked about much more than you would expect.

Also, will Tomorrow’s Nadja make it through another Weekly Retro Recap?

No game though, for reasons that will become clear on next week’s episode.

Episode 83 – Mind Game

Mind Game Anime

Fester Fish’s father, Aaron Long, joins us once again, this time to talk Masaaki Yuasa’s 2004 film MIND GAME. Which mainly involves telling each other how much we love it as we attempt to provide a film synopsis. In fact we love it so much, we will probably do another episode in the future once we have all digested the extras on the Region 4 DVD release. And then probably another one after that.

Plus, Tomorrow’s Nadja enters WEEK THREE of the Weekly Retro Recap, the first show to do so. Can it make it to week four? And we round the show off with perhaps the toughest game we’ve ever played on the show and a terrible pun.

ENJOY.
