Grace picks light novel adaptation Irresponsible Captain Tylor (1993). And finally little baby Anthony picks fantasy mecha show, Vision of Escaflowne (1996).

Plus a game of “Neighbours” and Anthony’s Neighbour The Lambton Worm…

We talk Macross Plus with guests Grace Chan from ChineseIrish and Leon Everett from Focus Fire Nerd. And it turns out to be a more divisive topic than we first thought. Leon put the hours in to give us the answer as to which version Brian and Grace should have watched, but Anthony is happy with Macross Plus however you slice it.
Plus there’s probably a game too. We recorded this and uploaded it ages ago, and I’ve forgotten at this point.
Learn all about studying Korean in Korea with Grace on her Youtube channel ChineseIrish.
Watch Leon and his friends play video games on the Focus Fire Nerd Youtube channel.
