Unlike Dylan, I'm skeptical we'll get any sort of Pharact variants in the Witch from Mercury manga. In its own story, it's born of such specific circumstances that it's hard to imagine why there'd be a Pharact Ground Type, or a Pharact Full Armor, or what have you. But heaven knows I've been wrong before, and I'd love to see more iteration on this design... whether it's done by Ina

You've tried the Variable Fighters- now it's Destroid time. Heavier armor. Heavier weapons. Less... move good. The destroids many not have the variable fighter elegance and flexibility, but the firepower is worth the tradeoff. But what about the design? Well, I'll let you in on a little secret: I like variable fighters better, and Dylan likes destroids better. You can find a vid

And with one model kit, the narrative has completely changed... as has the Narrative. We didn't like the Narrative Gundam much in its movie. We perhaps liked its High Grade even less. But with the launch of the Master Grade Ver Ka, an exciting possibility has opened up. Could it be... that the Narrative Gundam... is COOL? Today, we will find out. You can find a video version of

They say "don't explain the joke." But what about examining and analyzing a joke from a mechanical design perspective? The titular mecha of Megas XLR is built out of a (surprisingly large) pile of mecha anime jokes and references. Do those elements come together to be a design with its own merit?

I talk about Ippei Gyoubu, Takayuki Yanase, Kunio Okawara, and more, all the time. But credit to the new kids: JNTHED may only have Witch from Mercury under his belt so far, but he's doing impressive work! Today's very spoiler-y, so I don't want to say too much in these notes, but... damn the Calibarn is cool. You can find a video version of this podcast for free on Scanline Med

We're not done with Red Frames! Well. We sort of are. There's the Kai, of course. And then, frankly, there's a lot of BS. I like some of the BS! But it is still kinda BS. Well. Maybe that's hard on the Sengoku Astray. That guy's legit. But the Chinyaguy? Hmm. Hmm. You can find a video version of this podcast for free on Scanline Media's Patreon!

FRIEND FRIEND FRIEND FRIEND. Man, I really gotta watch G-Reco, huh? This guy is such a PAL! That's Chappie! That's a gonk droid with a face! There are only two mobile suits in the family, but even with so little, the Recten is an instant classic. And yet it has no gunpla! Tapping my foot, Sunrise....

Look... the East is burning red. Across worlds, across timelines, this line of G Gundam strikes a chord as SEED's eastern kingdom of Not-Japan, Orb, creates a red gundam to bear a katana. Oh, perhaps that's not quite the order of events, since it didn't get its sword until later. But other SEED media has shown that Orb will make katana for their mobile suits, so perhaps it was goin

I don't need Char clones. I need Gallant Char clones. How come none of these boys have a theme as banger as Char's from 0079? yeah sure the robot's fine, it's giving like, ps1 breath of fire, or xenogears as dylan said, but anyway back to talking about MUSIC....
